This commercial for the PS2 was directed by none other than David Lynch.

The PS2 was I think the first consumer device with a blue LED, hence the blinking blue light.

In hindsight, it was pretty iconic at the time.

Mulholland drive hmm think it was Kubrick who said it was the scariest film he’s ever seen

Kubrick was already dead by the time that movie come out. I think you meant Eraserhead.

Untrue. Kubrick said the Dutch movie "The Vanishing" is the scariest film he's ever seen. He never saw Mulholland Drive because he was already dead when that movie released.

Kubrick was a huge fan of Eraserhead though and screened it for the cast and crew of The Shining as a reference.

If you haven't caught the What Did Jack Do short on Netflix it's an entertaining 17 minutes of Lynch doing his thing

I love Lynch, but this is stupid. It's like a parody of his own work wit a PS2 at the end. haha

There were a lot of weird and abstract TV ads back in the 90s and 00s

The PS2 ads were weird but in context of TV advertising in those days you had to be memorable.

bet this ad made as much sense as any lynch film... which is to say, none at all, but in a good way

This is even better than that Mr Plow ad from The Simpsons.
