For nearly twelve months now, Nintendo has struggled to sell its Wii U console. The dearth of must-have games for the system has created apathy for gamers, who’re now waiting for two competitor consoles from Sony and Microsoft. This, just as Nintendo is finally getting some fun-looking games for the Wii U.

Nintendo last week released Wii Party U, its Wii U follow-as much as Wii Party for the Wii. The sport is a Mario Party-style virtual board game with dozens of mini games for players to play with one another. While other publishers are specializing in online multiplayer, Nintendo continues to be encouraging people to occasion in one front room, and who better to advertise this idea than comedian Wayne Brady. Wait, what?

Nintendo today released a sequence of ads starring Whose Line is it Anyway‘s Wayne Brady. Within the videos, Brady appears to make use of his improvisational skills to harass the assorted members of 2 stage families. Essentially the most bizarre ad, though, is one where he raps on about Wii Party U because the families dance (poorly):

Two other ads were also released within the series. One sees Brady annoying two children attempting to play a baseball mini-game at the Wii U GamePad. The opposite features Brady and the daddy from the rap ad passing some awkwardly forced male-bonding time together.
