Q*Bert Board Game commercial (1983)

You have to appreciate the time and effort put into making this commercial, with a live-action sequence of Q*bert about to get clobbered mid-way down the pyramid by Coily, Slick and Wrong Way. This commercial is undoubtedly sung in a way that mildly imitates Blondie's "rap" from the song "Rapture." The Q*Bert Board Game had the same premise of the video game, where players took turns as either Q*Bert (to hop over and take as many pegs as they can) or the "nasties" (which would stop Q*Bert from moving).
