''Conker's Bad Fur Day'' is a 2001 video game. Originally developed as a kiddy game under the name of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEuFNl4s9yI ''Conker's Quest''] and later ''Twelve Tales: Conker 64'', Rare's next game in the ''Conker'' series was heading to become another run-of-the-mill platform game. Apparently, Rare changed their mind during production, and instead set out to create a "controversial" game aimed at adults and older teens.

Inspired by ''[[South Park]]'', the then newly renamed ''Conker's Bad Fur Day'' promised to use scatological humor, sexual innuendo (some more subtle than others), cartoon violence and excessive swearing. Originally thought to be an April Fools joke, the announcement turned out to be completely true.

A few years later, after Rare was bought out by Microsoft, an [[Video Game Remake|"enhanced" remake]] of the game, ''Conker: Live & Reloaded'', came out. This game was an even larger commercial failure, thanks to Microsoft's odd marketing plan and [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|changes to the original game]]. And censorship. While ''Conker's Bad Fur Day'' has a cult following, ''Conker: Live & Reloaded'' has some fans and a [[Hatedom]].
