1999 TV commercial shows off the black and white camera peripheral for the Game Boy Pocket. This device was only capable of drawing 4 levels of gray, so the pictures taken are very rudimentary. The commercial shows the Game Boy Printer also and the animations the Game Boy Camera was capable of drawing on top of pictures that were taken. Having a camera with you in your pocket was novel at the time and apparently this device could turn photography into fun-tography.
The music used is a reworded version of "Smile, you're on Candid Camera".
This commercial aired during a 1998 showing of South Park.
