That Time Capcom Lost Some Body Parts

Resident Evil 5 had an incredibly stupid marketing campaign, and it's pretty darn funny.

A biohazard to advertize biohazard 5?

[@lefterismplanas4977]

Just nuke something then?
What could possibly go wrong?

[@senritsujumpsuit6021]

Love these stories much like the one where two guys had to act like idiots to not get arrested while their team tries to save after the Adult Swim shows campaign becomes a bomb scare

Ahh the good old boston light-bright shutdown-night

[@senritsujumpsuit6021]

@@yemmohater2796 its even funnier knowing its not the only show this has happened too

I would assume an animal took off with chicken liver flavored chew toys

@@mixednarwhal - yeah I'm working on getting that fixed somehow. Seems to be lifted now. I think an angry immature user wrongly marked an older comment as spam, but CZcams won't tell me which comment it was. I don't even know.

I think they should have had "resident evil 5" near the bodyparts so people who saw the body parts knew it was advertising (because when people see advertising? they almost always look the other way)

[@davidmcgill1000]

A werewolf in London was satisfied by the offerings.

[@aortaplatinum]

I love batshit insane marketing like this, like Shadowman 2 was trying to pay people to advertise on their fucking gravestones like what in the goddamn shit

holy cow Capcom Steel Ball Run

Is tHat a JojO reFeRence? 🤣

[@BigManCheesestick]

Whoa

[@katakanatabro2048]

this is the video that came out on my birthday, never a better time.

[@somethingsomething9008]

Happy Thanksgiving and Birthday

[@adiveler]

I guess the chicken livers were eaten by some street cat or dog.

[@ryan20028]

Iirc there was another game that did a similar event at the same time and it caused even more confusion.

[@erikbihari3625]

I believe the term is psycho!

[@TheCreepypro]

I too love stories about stupid pr campaigns for games

[@WSendam]

❤ 😊 happy thanksgiving

[@wuba5456]

Well that's a title

[@thisisasupersayin376]

Capcom is just a little quirky

[@JustJulyo]

So was C-19 their way of promoting RE 8?

[@lefterismplanas4977]

Brilliant

[@Persephone01]

Did Dan and Duncan ever win that trip to Africa? I wanna know. Some sicko probably took the fake parts or the police and the chicken liver was possibly an animal. Weird marketing.

[@limitamationsstudio8916]

[@humbleheathen69]

I to like res 5.

[@dianauwu1312]

Gonna be honest, upon seeing the thumbnail I thought this was a story about the time Capcom lost the rights to the left half of Zangief because of some insane copyright technicality.
But no, somehow it was worse.
