Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island "Still the Big One" Commercial

rih1-_JhvAE "Still the Big One" is a circa 1995 American commercial promoting mh:awesomegames:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. It has gained infamy for its depiction of obesity, and has since been widely regarded as one of the worst Nintendo commercials of all time.

Why It Isn't The Big One

 * 1) To address the elephant in the room, the stomach-bursting scene! It's not as disgusting as it is in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, but even so, no words can describe just how repulsive and grotesque it is.
 * 2) The overweight man in the commercial (who is supposed to be an allegory of Yoshi, by the way) appears to be extremely naive, as he repeatedly chows down on various foods until his stomach swells up to maximum capacity, and he seems to only just notice that. When he says that his stomach is full, the narrator easily coaxes him into taking one more bite, which inevitably results in his stomach bursting.
 * 3) When the man's stomach balloons to maximum capacity, it's abundantly clear that he's wearing an inflatable suit underneath his clothing.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The narrator actually does a fairly decent job highlighting the game's high points, which wasn't common for American commercials for Nintendo products prior to the mid-2000s.
 * 2) The other version (e.g. the US, New Zealand, UK and/or Canadian version) didn't have stomach bursting.
