Mega 64's "ruined" Mario skit

by Ross Miller on Mar 12th 2007 7:59PM

Mega64 contributed a few new skits to the Game Developers Choice Awards last week to much applause and laughter, including a pretty poignant piece on Feel the Magic XX / XY (we're still waiting for that one to pop up on the internet). One in particular made the crowd scream more than anything else that night. The YouTube description reads thusly: "A skit that went great until some guy made it all awkward."

We won't spoil the rest, so check out the video after the break.

Haha, that's awesome.

hahahaha! That may be their best skit ever...

Too funny

ohhhh my god.... really funny! Watch you back MiYaMOTO!!!!!!!!!

Love it. Good to see these guys getting recognition, they're awesome.

that is so awesome.

Points for getting Shiggy cameo...but I didn't really get it. What was the joke here?

That was awesome. My respect for Miyamoto has increased by a lot just by seeing this. Much love Miyamoto, much love.

Bwahahha

Nerdtacular, the joke was Shigeru Miyamoto being there, and just awkwardly staring at two grown men jumping and laughing like Mario and Luigi.

If only he said something to them (be it in English or Japanese). That'd would've been even greater.

Then the Link-costumed guy stepping out then running away quickly. Funny.

That was possibly the best thing I've ever witnessed in my life. Love to see Miyamoto interacting with the fans. The look on his face is just too perfect.

Oh my God that was so funny. The guy dressed up as Link suddenly bailing as to good!

Awesome skit, but the best one is their Katamari one. Find it on their website. Hilarity ensues.

Alright! It's great to see Miyamoto in this!

Cute idea, but kinda lacking in the execution.
Which ain't to say that I could do better, just that I could imagine it being even funnier if it was acted a little differently.

That is the best thing I have ever seen.

Ok, so it's not as good as the Paperboy thing they did, but the punchline was great. I agree, it needs some deadpan one-liner (in Japanese) from Miyamoto to put it over the top.
