A series of commercials run by Sony to promote the Play Station 3 and Play Station 3 Exclusive games, based around the character of Kevin Butler (played by Jerry Lambert), a Sony VP in charge of everything from First Person Shooter Relations to Add More Awesome. The ads were widely praised for their humorous content as opposed to Sony's previous PS3 Ads.
Tropes used in Kevin Butler include:

- Ho Yay: Between Kevin and SCEA President Jack Trenton.
