Xbox 360 as romantic aid

Wow! I beat Joystiq to it. I posted this in my blog 2 and a half hours ago. www.thewilleffect.wordpress.com Very funny skit, but all it really shows is the stereotypes gamers have to overcome to be taken seriously to the non gamer.

Dude, the 360 isn't hooked up! Look at the ending scene!

That was awesome. LOL

That was pretty funny... anyone else notice the ring of red lights on the X360? (no video cable attached)

I noticed the red rings right away. I rewinded it a few times to make sure I wasn't seeing things. LOL.

Will: Once stereotypes are comedy, they HAVE been overcome. Once the audience knows that stereotypes are, literally, laughable, they have stopped being effective in terms of discrimination.

Did I just get a shout out on Mad TV?

OtakuCODE - That's not true at all. I would venture to say that the opposite is true: no one would laugh at a stereotype that is not 'effective in terms of discrimination.'

He screwed up the Konami code. That is unforgivable, even in a parody.

Bullshit. Tripod did this first. Why doesn't MadTV have Dane Cook on and rip off every comedic routine their unholy powers combined can muster

it's funny that videogames are becoming more and more 'known' (strange how it's a bigger income industry than movies, but we are somehow a deviant hobby), but I wouldn't venture to say that skit was funny. It was badly written and sloppily acted. The only thing it did was shout out that gamers exist and wouldn't it be funny if gamers put their hobby above their girlfriends, which isn't really all that clever of an idea to begin with, let alone what they did with it.

Ditto Ninjay. I remember hearing Tripod's song for the first time on a flight to Melbourne over 2 years ago.
