You are probably tired of all the Chuck Norris jokes,
but some aspects of this new fad still amuse us (like watching Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos on adult swim the other
night). This is one of those amusing Chuck Norris skits to brighten up your Friday.
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!
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.
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!
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'.
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).
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.
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. :(
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
