Okay, first things first, what is C-3D? Or is that even what this thing is called? I mean, if you look at the name on this 1995 advertisement it looks like it's called CIIID, which if we apply Nintendo logic it would be pronounced "Seed." But instead of making fun of the way Nintendo is spelling their Wii, perhaps we should focus on trying to figure out what this thing is advertising. The text certainly isn't very descriptive and their website no longer words (though, you have to admit, they must have stood in line early to get a domain like 3d.com).

It's not the name that makes this commercial so bad, it's those "mindblowing 3D" effects that the commercial touts. In order to impress you enough to buy their product (or look them up, or something, I'm still not sure what this is advertising) C-3D decided to show you two polygonal characters that should whet your appetite. But who is going to be excited about a giant blob creature and a bee that appears to be made out of water? Even the TV looks unconvincing in this terrible advertisement, the effects here are laughably bad.

But maybe I'm just too rough on C-3D and their revolutionary technology. Maybe if I just read what it said I would like it more, maybe even consider it to be "the bomb." "With the C-3D Imaging System that converts TV shows or video games into unbelievable 3D or watch the C-3D Television Network in Stereoscopic 3D." What? Is it just me or is that one long run-on sentence? And what the hell is Stereoscopic 3D and what does it have to do with me watching Donald Trump on The Apprentice? Oh screw it, this commercial failed the moment it called those 3D effects "mindblowing."
