Real shot at gamers here, it kinda seems like the hobby everyone blames or takes shot at, I gotta be honest I'm triggered

 

[kevboard]

I'm offended by how the son in the middle hold the controller... the fuck is that kinda grip?

 

[ReBurn]

I'm taking a console with me.

 

[Esquie]

They've got a point. That does look way more fun than gaming. Count me triggered too .

 

[666]

I don't like the sun so not fun for me.

Looks like he has no idea what the controller is for.

That just means that kid was raised right.

 

[kevboard]

no it means he probably plays only on touch screen devices... that kinda grip reminds me of how "hardcore" shooter players on mobile hold their phones, because they use their index fingers to shoot, having the fire button on the top of the screen.

No wonder Dad has to play games for fun, being married to that fat ugly bitch.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

The morale of this ad is to never marry a whale, or else she will disturb your gaming for selfies on a boat. Marry a hot streamer instead. Have a fun happy family.

 

[Guilty_AI]

No one gonna comment on that moto rollercoaster having no seatbelts or safety measures whatsoever? Like, they could literally just fly off? Is that a thing i'm too much of a gamer cave dweller to know?

You got a point there with the touch screen hand. Not a great sign for the future of the type of games we like. That's what gen alpha is growing up on.

Going on a cruise is my idea of hell.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Anything to sell the getaway. I personally hate cruises. I've been on two. Their game rooms suck and feel barren, almost embarrassing. Their casinos have more going on. You could have a better time with mobile games. Hotels that had their own SNES controller built into the TV were the best. Super Punch Out never felt better than when you're playing it in a hotel miles away.

 

[PeteBull]

Dont worry, OP.
Apparently this total chad of a gamer hates sun too:

 

[Skifi28]

Can't blame cruise lines for aggressive marketing, they nearly died during COVID and are still hanging by a thread.

 

[DeepEnigma]

A real Carnival Cruise commercial would have smoke detector beeps and ratchet behavior.

Once you have a head on your shoulders and been consuming mind altering chemicals long enough (purely alcohol included) you get to see these situations establish before they progress to this level, the decent patrons are probably elsewhere having a private room party at this point.

You must be watching the tournament. GO HAWKS!

I've had to go in a bunch of cruises for work

It's mostly a bunch of fat fuck degenerates who sit in front of the buffet and pool all day then gamble all night

Do the have lan house parties at least like in gaben's yatch?

Look at these kids, they can't even eat correctly.

 

[Kuranghi]

The cliché of adverts of normie game players holding the controller in a mental way is so funny. Imagine footage of tennis players but they're holding the rackets the wrong way round or football players picking up the ball and running with it.

Conceptually comical for sure.

Imagine how triggered they would get if someone got some terminology for their goofy sports crap wrong.

Calling a touchdown a three point shot, a homerun a goal, or a knockout in boxing an interception. It's always funny how normies will get red in the face if you call sports "sportsball" but call video games "vidya" or anime "Chinese cartoons".

LOL. Easy solution. Stay away from the ghetto lines.

They're right

I haven't been on a cruise in like 10 years but yeah, Carnival was generally seen as the ghetto cruiseline. Whenever we'd get to a port and see a Carnival ship docked as well, we knew the beaches were going to be wild South Beach spring break type shit... and they were.

 

[Plague Doctor]

I find it ponderous that the first clip on the cruise ship they show is the family seated at a washed up comedian's set.

Like when I think of cruising, I think of a family friendly D-Lister on the sea.

Noticing a common factor in all these videos...

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I've been on a few years ago, but yea, don't want to feel the fatigue from the videos you see lately.

 

[TheLikou]

I was more triggered by the kids playing Final Fantasy VIII with two controls in Charlie's Angels.

Is it that crab claw bullshit stuff that some people do?

 

[kevboard]

no, if you're doing a claw grip you hover above the face buttons, he just has is middle and index finger up there..

 

[Zacfoldor]

The water is a void for humans. Some people don't realize how dangerous bodies of water are, Outer space. If you play with it you will disappear into the endless abyss and never be found. I'd rather be found when I die so fuck playing around a giant abyss of primal death. The cruise ship has to sell us on it because.we naturally understand the dangers. My bro likes cruises I'm not hating but the ocean and outer space are both deadly to man, both foreign environments. On bad inhale one slip one misjudge and poof there you go. I'm staying on dry land. I'm a land lover.

 

[saintjules]

Yeah slight sarcasm on my part.

 

[Humdinger]

There are all kinds of different cruises. I'm not into them myself, but if I were to go on one, I'd pick a relatively small, uncrowded, quiet one that sailed into a wild, remote area (e.g., Alaska), not some nasty-ass Carnival cruise, noisy and crowded. Fuck that. That's a "vacation" that would leave me feeling irritated and exhausted.

 

[nick776]

I'd much rather be playing a video game than on a cruise ship catching the puking disease.

Mike Judge's Idiocracy wasn't just a movie, it was a premonition of the immediate future.

 

[Danny22]

OP, you and I and many people here need to go outside in the sunshine, the ad is being honest.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

That harpy destroyed family bonding time so they could go on the ghettoest fucking cruise on the face of the earth. Enjoy swimming in piss, I guess.

Everything has a filter AND chlorine, it's all sterile.

 

[Grenseal]

False advertising by Carnival. They know what's up and it's not gamers discovering they love being on a floating fight club.

 

[mopspear]

Did Andrew Dobson direct this?

Ive never been quarantined at sea because of video games.
