Gateway 2000's hilariously bad ads in the 90s (Part II)

In the 90s, Gateway 2000 ran numerous amusing and memorable advertisements that left a lasting impression on their target audience. One such ad was a lengthy, 11-page spread titled "486 Fest," featuring 28 unnecessary "Party Reason" subheadings, multiple barnyard puns, and a photo of all 2,000 Gateway employees gathered in front of their headquarters in Sioux City.

These ads, often filled with corny jokes and animal imagery, were a departure from the more restrained marketing strategies of the time. Despite their irreverent nature, these ads proved effective in boosting Gateway's sales and brand awareness.
