Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks Oblivion
Cheesy theme song? Check. Accurate costume and face appearance? Check (thanks to Bethesda's incredibly detailed character-creation system). Roundhouse kicks and a complete disregard for the well-being of NPCs? Check. This is Kyle Mathias' first video, and we love it all the same. Thanks for the laugh, Kyle!

suprisingly not funny.
icemorebutts @ Apr 7th 2006 6:16PM
Unsuprisingly awsome.

I tried making Vin Diesel and it didn't turn out too well.
Vin Diesel > Chuck Norris
RK @ Apr 7th 2006 6:22PM
How did this Chuck Norris thing start in the first place?
Jose @ Apr 7th 2006 6:29PM
No, not really tired of the Chuck Norris jokes, just of the fact that people continue to insist that the Elder Scrolls games are good.

Saying Vin Diesel > Chuck Norris makes baby jebus cry!
your mother should be ashamed of you
toygen @ Apr 7th 2006 6:39PM
@Seroth - WRONG!
Chuck Norris trained and starred with Bruce Lee, Vin Diesel didn't. Nuff said ;)
jason @ Apr 7th 2006 6:49PM
Great idea. Terribly done.
Grindstone @ Apr 7th 2006 7:00PM
Seroth, you are so full of crap I can smell you through the internet! You are so damn lucky that I have sympathy for you, otherwise, I would tell Chuck about your heresy and he would round-house kick your ass from his lazyboy (which happens to be made out of the bones of ignoramus people just like you).
Consider yourself lucky, punk. The only thing better than Chuck is Bruce Lee, and we don't even talk about him out of shear fear and respect-- one more than the other.
Julian @ Apr 7th 2006 7:07PM
could have been done right... what an awful waste of time!
Zsavior @ Apr 7th 2006 7:08PM
Man the chuck norris stuff is funny because chuck norris movies and martial arts is so bloody awful. Yeah Chuck Norris starred with bruce lee alright, he had the important role of dusting off bruce lee's shoes with his face! The man is not known for his round house kick, he is known for only DOING a round house kick!
Seroth @ Apr 7th 2006 7:26PM
This whole "fact" thing got popular with Vin Diesel, then somehow, Chuck Norris took over. I admit, that some Chuck Norris facts are funny, but I enjoy the Vin Diesel facts much more.
Maybe it's because he was the original, or because Vin Diesel's bald head is much sexier than the hairy beast of Chuck Norris'.
Grindstone @ Apr 7th 2006 7:32PM
Oh, so you want to play too, eh Zsavior? Well look here you blasphemous son of a [flame]! There is a reason Chuck was world Karate champion and you were not, and that is because you suck! (Chuck Norris endorses this statement).
Next?
Grindstone @ Apr 7th 2006 8:14PM
Seroth, Chuck "took over" because that is natural selection in action. Big fish eat little fish, and Vin Diesel (note the word "die" in Vin Diesel -- bad oman right there!) is a little fish. He got eaten. By Chuck. Deal with it.

That theme song was from a skit recently on Saturday Night Live. It was pretty funny. LONG LIVE CHUCK!
Franky J @ Apr 7th 2006 9:15PM
Hey don't forget he did count to infinity twice...

Snake @ Apr 7th 2006 11:37PM
I remember the time when Bruce Lee beat the sheeeet! out of Chuck Norris.
A concerned citizen @ Apr 8th 2006 4:21AM
Call me lame, but I would love to play some Oblivion as a fist-fighting Chuck Norris. Anyone know how he got his character to look so similar? I tried and failed horribly. :(
kay @ Apr 8th 2006 4:28AM
the ending was funny. running away from the guard. cuz you know even chuck norris is scared of the guard in oblivion.
"put your sword away or i'll put you down myself you miserable rat!"

The only time Bruce Lee kicked the martial arts out of Chuck Norris was in Return of the Dragon (Movies tend to not be true!). Chuck Norris was a much better martial artist than Bruce Lee. Lee was a badass, yes, and he brought kung fu movies over to mainstream America with Enter the Dragon. But his theory of Martial Arts (jeet kun do) could only be mastered through several life times of training, he was a jack of all trades, master of none, and Chuck Norris coulda kicked his jacked ass.
Chuck Norris > Bruce Lee > Vin Diesel
Snake @ Apr 8th 2006 2:22PM
Kazi,
Bruce Lee, used filmmaking to prove and demonstrate his fighting theories and Jeet Kune Do and his pioneering efforts paved the way for future martial artists and actors such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Chuck Norris.
I remember Chuck Nurris quoting:
"Lee, pound for pound, might well have been one of the strongest men in the world, and certainly one of the quickest."
In my opinion Bruce Lee was the greatest martial artist who ever lived. To me thats my opionion. I think Bruce Lee is the greatest martial artist ever. I don't think anybody is in his class.
fuzz @ Apr 8th 2006 3:00PM
for the guy asking where this whole thing came from, its primarily from an awesome skit done by conan (ie:Late Night with Conan O'Brien) from there it just flew as all internet fads do.

zombiejim @ Apr 8th 2006 7:48PM
Kazi, the whole point is that if your a master of only one style, you become a predictable fighter. His theory was that if you observe the style one uses to fight, you know how to counter it. Which is why after being the one to teach jeet kune do to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, AND Chuck Norris (as well as some others), he stopped teaching it. There are also several accounts of Bruce Lee beating Chuck Norris in sparring matches.
Snake @ Apr 8th 2006 9:23PM
Bruce always felt that if your stomach wasn't developed, then you had no business doing any hard sparring.
Derek @ Apr 8th 2006 11:51PM
Best Norris joke ever:
Pee Wee Herman was arrested for masturbating in public.
The same day Chuck Norris was given an award for masturbating in public.
refinedsugar @ Apr 9th 2006 8:02PM
Save your time and just watch the SNL Digital Shot called 'Young Chuck Norris'. This Oblivion-inspired joke has promise, but never follows thru with anything... and the editing is a mite sloppy too.
Gonzo @ Apr 10th 2006 11:59AM
Yea what the hell was with that show on adult swim? April Fools? They already had the flatulent Ghost in the Shell (which was executed brilliantly) but they seem to be wanting to stretch April fools a little further; I hope: After Robot Chicken last night I thought they mentioned (during some awful example from the show) that they're going to be showing Saved by the Bell on adult swim? Admittedly I was pretty well inebriated by that point (Don't do Drugs Kids) so I may have misunderstood but unless they found some really steamy or otherwise raw unedited episodes, NO!
I'm not a complete expert but I have been studying (from a master who learned from Dan Inosanto; so I guess I'm 2 degrees from Lee) Jeet Kun Do for a few years and Bruce could and did knock Chuck on his a$$ allot, and I'm not just talking about when they were working on Return of the Dragon.
Wow, I don't think I've ever sounded like more of a snob but my admiration for Bruce Lee goes way beyond hero worship. His writings changed my life.

" No, not really tired of the Chuck Norris jokes, just of the fact that people continue to insist that the Elder Scrolls games are good"
Yet you take the time to come on to an Elder scroll page? How.... gay.
yoyoma @ May 16th 2006 7:39PM
Bruce Lee got his kung fu skills through extreme training, and knowledge. All Chuck Norris did was use his bowflex for 30 minutes a day.
chucknorrisloveslave @ May 17th 2006 1:09AM
How dare anyone take the name of norris in vain!
