}}}}'''''Sega Game Gear Tips Volume 2''''' is a promotional VHS produced by [[St. Michel Productions]] and published by [[wikipedia:Howard Johnson|Howard Johnson's]] for the [[Sega of America]]-sponsored American hotel promotion ''[[Kids Go HoJo with Sega]]''. Containing both general gameplay tips for the campaign's available [[Sega Game Gear]] games, and an infamously-high energy and shockingly-adult advertisement where a hotel spokesperson repeatedly harasses a guest until he tries Sega's portable game system, the video has since become a small viral sensation and strongly-associated with the name Howard Johnson's.

''Sega Game Gear Tips Volume 2'' was preceded by ''[[Sega Game Gear Tips Volume 1]]'', containing the same main advertisement but with a different selection of game tips.

{{stub}}'''''Sega Game Gear Tips Volume 2''''' is a VHS which contains tips and hints for various [[Sega Game Gear]] games.  It was released as a promotional item by [[wikipedia:Howard Johnson's|the Howard Johnson's hotel chain]] in the United States, and is a "successor" of sorts to ''[[Sega Game Gear Tips Volume 1]]''.
 
  
−
''Sega Game Gear Tips Volume 2'' is virtually identical in structure to ''Sega Game Gear Tips Volume 1'', however game footage is substituted for newer Game Gear releases. This time the video details tips and cheats for ''[[Cheese Cat-Astrophe Starring Speedy Gonzales]]'', ''[[Phantom 2040]]'', ''[[The Lion King]]'', ''[[Taz in Escape From Mars]]'' and ''[[World Series Baseball '95]]'', alongside more hints for ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Game Gear)|Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' and ''[[Sonic Triple Trouble]]''. Previewed games include ''[[Sports Trivia: Championship Edition]]'', ''[[Garfield: Caught in the Act]]'' and ''[[The Adventures of Batman & Robin (Game Gear)|The Adventures of Batman & Robin]]''.

===Advertisement===
 +
Produced in 1995 and released later that year as the second wave of the ''[[Kids Go HoJo with Sega]]'' advertising campaign, the live-action segments mark a noted departure from the chain's previous advertising. Earlier commercials featured standard videography and editing, and were produced in a fairly normal style for the time. However, as [[Sega of America]] began to move towards more edge and attention-getting attitudes, many of its collaborations were influenced in a similar manner, and soon [[wikipedia:Howard Johnson|Howard Johnson's]] began to promote ''Kids Go HoJo with Sega'' in the same style of marketing.
 +
 
 +
While the gameplay tips are delivered in a fairly benign manner, more infamous is the video's main advertisement, becoming a minor viral sensation for its over-the-top filmmaking style. Produced in a time where the marketing industry began migrating towards more high-energy youth advertising, the advertisement was created to be fast, flashy, and attention-getting, with quick cuts and a literal [[wikipedia:Strobe light|strobe light]] blinking intermittently in most scenes. Additionally, the premise was intentionally produced to feature the Howard Johnson's spokesperson repeatedly harassing and stalking a visibly-disturbed guest for the entirety of the advertisement, and at one point even gestures at a sex scene between said guest and a hotel maid; concerningly adult for a product intended for young children.
 +
 
 +
Between its extended scenes of [[wikipedia:Shaky camera|shakycam]] filmography, extreme close-ups, and manic editing style, the tone of ''Sega Game Gear Tips'' is notably demeaning to its target audience, then so misunderstood that marketers assumed the best way of advertising to the perceived short [[wikipedia:Attention span|attention spans]] of young people was to fill their promotions with as many blinking lights and hyper-delivered marketing blurbs as possible.
 +
 
 +
==History==
 +
Produced by [[St. Michel Productions]] sometime in 1995, the advertisement stars an unknown actor as the Howard Johnson's spokesperson and Canadian actor Robert Brewster{{ref|https://www.robertcbrewster.com/my_acting_page}}{{fileref|BobBrewster CV (by Agence La Suite).pdf}} as the frustrated guest.

Sega Game Gear Tips Volume 2 is a promotional VHS produced by St. Michel Productions and published by Howard Johnson's for the Sega of America-sponsored American hotel promotion Kids Go HoJo with Sega. Containing both general gameplay tips for the campaign's available Sega Game Gear games, and an infamously-high energy and shockingly-adult advertisement where a hotel spokesperson repeatedly harasses a guest until he tries Sega's portable game system, the video has since become a small viral sensation and strongly-associated with the name Howard Johnson's.

Sega Game Gear Tips Volume 2 was preceded by Sega Game Gear Tips Volume 1, containing the same main advertisement but with a different selection of game tips.

Produced in 1995 and released later that year as the second wave of the Kids Go HoJo with Sega advertising campaign, the live-action segments mark a noted departure from the chain's previous advertising. Earlier commercials featured standard videography and editing, and were produced in a fairly normal style for the time.

History

Produced by St. Michel Productions sometime in 1995, the advertisement stars an unknown actor as the Howard Johnson's spokesperson and Canadian actor Robert Brewster[2][3] as the frustrated guest.

Available as a free rental to Howard Johnson's guests and their children, the tape was also available to purchase separately at a price of $3.99[1] (despite the front of the tape indicating a suggested $9.99 retail price.[4])

Reception

While contemporary reception to Sega Game Gear Tips Volume 2 is difficult to locate, the video's modern reception has been much clearer, unanimously gaining a reputation as one of the single-worst pieces of corporate advertising the 1990s had to offer. Being described as "obnoxious" and "grating", its flashy tone and disregard for its audience's intelligence has seen the advertisement gain a small amount of viral notoriety in recent years.


“ Watching this video feels like dying. This is something that your brain does to inform your body that something has gone horribly wrong. The premise of the video is a lie in every way. The only “tips” it’s able to choke out are that video games exist, and you can play them while staying at a Howard Johnson hotel. It delivers this information to you through a close up of a man’s face screaming at you while strobe lights flicker. „

— Lydia Bugg[5]


Legacy

As Howard Johnson's faded in popularity, so did its name. With the maturing of the internet and the establishment of websites like YouTube, the promotional advertisement soon became associated with the now lesser-known company, and frequently to such a degree that some are only familiar with the hotel chain through this single unflattering video.
