Actor Fred Willard promotes the DS and Personal Trainer

Last year, Nintendo got the likes of Liv Tyler, Nicole Kidman and other female celebrities to promote the Nintendo DS. While those ads did nothing for non-casual gamers, it did at least get the point across that the DS can be accessible to anyone.

This year, Nintendo has started a new promotional campaign staring Fred Willard, one of the Bob's from Office Space and a few other actors that may or may not really be Fred Willard's friends in real life to promote the DS and Personal Trainer: Cooking. This seven-minute long ad is full of awkward jokes, cringe worthy moments and some real bad acting.
