Mega64 Launches The Funny

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the dodge-incoming-funny-with-the-x-button dept.

GameSetWatch has a post up discussing the hilarious Mega64 group and their recent activities. Some previews for their second season were displayed during the Game Developer's Choice Awards, and they impressed a very cynical crowd with their nonsensical real-life interpretations of classic videogames. From the article: "Finally, on the newly released Mega64 front - Xbox 360 Live has these for download, but YouTube also has them - the Mega64 guys' Crosscom promotional trailers, in two parts, for Ubisoft's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter. More great stuff, and as far as we're concerned, these people still need to be given a cable TV show, like, yesterday."

    Synopsis:

    Idiots dress up like video game characters and act out video games in public.

    The funniest part was when they were disrupting a little league practice and the coach asked them to explain why. The disrupting part wasn't funny, listening to them try and explain why he shouldn't call the cops on them was hillarious though.

    "Well, um..."

    The parts where they're trying to be funny weren't. There's a reason you've never heard of them before.

    I have no idea who these people are, so I'm glad it made Slashdot tonight. As opposed to tomorrow, when instead of my one crappy post saying "who are they, why should I care, and why aren't they funny", there'd be dozens, maybe even more, saying the same thing.

    So I watched 3 clips of theirs - none of them were actually funny.

    I don't get it.

    Actually, if you plug headphones into an original Gameboy, you can actually hear the bass line.
