Missing from the list: EverQuest Online Adventures - It's Time to Slay the Dragon! ( http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7215059756609314359 ). Quite possibly the worst and funniest commercial I have ever seen, and thanks to Google Video, it's now preserved in history.

What's the first printed ad we can all remember that used a visual hyperbole?

Oh, my first brush with ad hyperbole was with He-Man toys. Despite the claims of the commercials, I never ended up with "The Power." Just overpriced Mattel toys.

I'll admit, the Samurai Shodown II ad was pretty funny. But they kinda reached on the other two. I suppose he does have to save something for future segments, though.
