A Wii bit lazy

Months ago, Penny Arcade outlined the dangers of playing the Wii with small, controlled movements -- namely, looking like a total toolbox. As if this wasn't enough warning, the guys at Dog Rodeo have put together a humorous look at just how slothful you can be while still playing a decent game of Wii Sports. Personally, we find it hard to believe that a ceiling fan could be such an able tennis player, but the humans will have the last laugh when the fan is taken out by an errant remote.

great, another 100 comment argument about whether playing with small movements while sitting down or playing with big swings is what they meant by playing like a 'toolbox'

I want to believe that the ceiling fan is playing tennis, but its too ridiculous to take.

That guy looks like the lovechild of Buster Bleuth and Gallagher.

hmmmm.... my fan isn't that good at tennis. Bowling, sure, but not tennis.

everyone who owns a wii has played like this at somepoint, maybe not to such a comical extreme as this video but we've all tried being toolboxes

Obviously that guy and the fan, weren't actually playing. Nice satire of playing like a toolbox.

It's Pat!

Very funny. The guy's expression throughout the whole clip made it.

this is old. you guys actually do any research or just troll around other peoples website and report back here? a monkey could report this dated crap.

NeverSage: Jan 30th 2007; 6:07PM

Zippyzee's a toolbox

This was already posted, wasn't it?

guidedbyvoip: Jan 30th 2007; 7:14PM

it should be hard to believe...its humor.

The fan thing is obviously fake. I'd go into why it's not real (it's going at a constant velocity, meaning the accelerometers won't pick it up after it's obtained the constant), or you could just trust me.

Other then the fact that my intelligence was insulted (oh wait, it's the internet), I enjoyed it.

What's wrong with you people? How can anyone possibly take that video seriously? "The fan thing is obviously fake" Oh, REALLY?! I had no idea! Good insight! Here's a thought- take the sticks out of your asses and have a good laugh.
