Today's typing impaired video: Pac-Man instant messenger

Poor Pac-Man. With those giant oversized mitts of his, how can he get anything done? It almost makes having hands pretty useless. In fact, who gave Pac-Man hands anyhow? Is that a holdover from the Saturday morning cartoon?

Major Nelson should know a phone call is more personal anyhow. Pass the power pills and dish out some justice, Paccy.

Pac-Man always had arms, ever since the release of his original Japanese arcade (Under the name of Puckman):

However, his typing has always sucked. He has three options at this point:
1) Find a copy of Mario Teaches Typing
2) Find a copy of Typing of the Dead
3) Attend the same typing class Strong Bad went to.

New type of leet-speak? I didn't know you could say 1337 in IRL.

There is a series of ads for the Nicktoons channel where they show employees of the network who are such big fans that they dress up in the costume of their favorite character. One of them features someone working in a Patrick Star costume and somebody tells him that the email they sent him was all X's and L's or something like that and he says he resends it. Then you see the guy in the Patrick costume trying to type with those big bulky hands of him.

Yeah, it seems like they pretty much stole that joke.
