Fanta Ads Pay Strange Tribute to Donkey Kong and Other Vintage Games
“Okay, so – it’s like Donkey Kong, except on a farm, and the evil farmer looks like a retired and fat Ernest P. Worrell, and he has a bunch of Fanta Orange soda instead of your girlfriend, and rather than having a hammer as a power-up, you get to take selfies, which pause all the dangerous stuff, rather than making you more likely to die from it, as in real life.”
“Sold!”

“Also, a Batman game that totally doesn’t violate any copyrights because it’s not actually about Batman.”
