Who wants to see a clearly clueless Harry Redknapp trying to secure deals on video games? Okay, we admit that concept at least sounds mildly entertaining, but in practice, it makes for a shockingly bad (but good?) Black Friday advert.
UK retailer GAME has hired the 70-year-old English football manager to act in a promotional video that lasts for just over a minute. It features old 'Arry nailing down discounts and coaching employees in the middle of a field. The bloody thing doesn't even have a proper voiceover -- it's clearly just some poor guy doing his best over-the-top advert voice.
Anyway, as the headline says, you have to see it to believe it. Is it so bad that it's actually good? We're undecided, but we'll let you have your say in the comments section below.

Listen. Pwease gemme that Sony VR 'eadset baaah-ndle.
That's so bad it's actually gone right past good and come back round to bad again. Shocking.
How many employee Christmas bonuses did GAME scrap so they could hire Harry for an afternoon?
No...just no. So cringy 😑
This is AMAZING
@ShogunRok Well I worked at GAME for three years and never received a single Christmas bonus, so I’d say all of them.
@Jake3103 All of them, even retroactively.
he's a perfect fit with game and there extortionate prices
😂 all bad but I think the worst part is that they called it game deadline deals
O.O
I visited game yesterday and some of the prices were brilliant actually if you look hard enough. Dirt 4 was £22 new, puyo puyo tetris £12 (grabbed that one), odin sphere was £17 or £18 cant believe I never grabbed that. But its not always so bad especially the fact the one I went to had 40+ vita games.
The adverts terrible btw. But after bei ng sacked by Birmingham what can you do next?
I think there is the making of a good commercial in there somewhere, I like the idea of the soccer (sorry football) coach teaching his players how to navigate shopping on Black Friday.
But then somebody made this. I don't know what this is, but it isn't good.
there customers service is total crap 15 emails trying to sort my elite membership its a rip of
In the words of alan hansen, shocking
About as quality as the store itself...
My Lord that was bloody awful.
I think it was great, I loved it!
Wow. I lost it right away at the "get me Crash Bandicoot!" line.
Oi ... Awful. I think we are all a little dumber now for having watched that video. May we all strike it from our memories and never speak of it again.
@kyleforrester87 So true, damn so cringy wtf
What is a Harry Redknapp?
Aweful!!! Cringe!!!
