Steve Young Football for iPad ads spoof 90s commercials

Apparently there is an iPad game behind these crazy commercials, but we posted them mainly because they're hilarious. The spot above will be familiar to anyone who grew up in the '90s as a spoof of the old Crossfire commercials that took a mechanical board game way too seriously. You'd probably be forgiven for noticing that the game, Steve Young Football, which is an over the top wacky version of the sport itself, actually has a feature where you can network two iPads together for multiplayer. Pretty cool.

The second spot, after the break, is just as hilarious, this time spoofing the old My Buddy commercials (oh man, the memories). Steve Young Football is available for $4.99 on the iPad, and just 99 cents on the iPhone, and no matter what the game is like, it's pretty much worth giving them the buck for the entertainment you'll get from these videos.

The actual style of the commercial is definitely 80's. Whether or not Crossfire came out in the 90's really doesn't matter.

Pretty sure these were 80s commercials not 90s unless I grew up in a different decade all this time. I could be wrong.

The Crossfire spoof was awesome! The MyBuddy spoof was disturbing!

The problem with these is that they are more commercials for the iPad than the game. Unless that was what they wanted since we never actually see the game really work. Watched two commercials for the game and I still don't know what the hell it is.

That's ok. I never followed football and didn't know who the hell Steve Young was either.
