Oh snap! DSi commercial demonstrates advanced mockery

It's strange to see a Nintendo commercial that advertises one of the company's products to college-age dudes, but that's exactly what this DSi commercial seems to do. Most Nintendo commercials these days are aimed at, and feature, the "expanded audience" -- as in people other than the stereotypical male "gamer."

What's funny is how different the tone of the commercial is than others: like most Nintendo commercials, the two principals in this ad are using Nintendo consoles to be social; but these two dudes use the DSi's camera and photo manipulation features to be total jerks to each other.
