Do me a favour... Plug me into a Sega

Do me a favour.... Plug me into a Sega was an advertisement campaign for the Sega Master System airing in the late 80s and early 90s in the European region, with the slogan appearing in some sort of variant in French, Spanish, Dutch and Finnish as well as English for the United Kingdom, and ran by Virgin Mastertronic, who had the official distributing rights to the Master System in the United Kingdom.

The advertisement consisted of a television being bored and requesting the viewer cure that boredom by playing a Sega Master System on it.

The TV ads consisted of the screen fading to a TV test card before a face appearing atop it complaining about it's boredom. The face then speaks in a mix of Cyberman and Max Head about wanting to be plugged into a Sega. The screen lights up, it's eyes show some screenshots of the games, the eyes and mouth fly around the screen, the face wears some 3D Glasses and tells the viewer to plug the TV into a Sega. The advertisement was widely successful and managed to make Europe a large part of the Master System's install base as a result.

The advertisement was eventually dropped in 1991 when the Mega Drive hit the UK and the slogan was replaced with the "To be this good takes Ages...to be this good takes Sega" campaign.
