Japanese Tetris comedy act

by Kyle Orland { Aug 15th 2006 at 2:25PM }

When people think of games that have made them laugh over the years, one title inevitably jumps to the top of the list. Of course I'm talking about Tetris, the hillarious story of one young boy's quest to find love in a world made entirely of falling blocks.

OK, so maybe Tetris isn't the funniest game out there. But that didn't stop this Japanese comic from crafting a four-minute act out of his trials with a glitchy version of the game. The routine isn't translated, but the background video and the guy's crazed inflections are all you need to suss out the humor content.

Just the right time for youtube to get 404'd.

This is the downside of huge websites, if it is down for a while there is like a big gapping hole in the internet.

Pretty funny. I liked when the 4 block was to big to fit.
