We all know that Japanese TV is a little wacky at the best of times, but these strange Nintendo DS commercials take it to a whole new level. Some of the weirdest ads include a French speaking Mario, and a bunch of guys "fishing" for Japanese boy band members.

As most gamers are aware, there are quite a few bizarre Japanese DS games out there. The stylus control of the DS just seems to encourage developers to come up with ridiculous and often stupid ideas.

But these weird games need advertising just like any other game. And what's the best way to promote a strange game? You make a strange commercial, of course.
