April Fools' Alert #7: Chris Tucker in GTA IV

by Justin McElroy { Apr 1st 2008 at 3:30PM }

In the rush to trick people on April 1, too many outlets forget the value of actually being funny. Thankfully, Planet Grand Theft Auto is there with our current (genuinely funny) favorite: Chris Tucker (perhaps best remembered from the Rush Hour series) starring as the voice of Niko Bellic in Grand Theft Auto IV.

It's a gag, but it's also kind of a shame this isn't real. It surely would have been Tucker's finest video game performance since the PlayStation's The Fifth Element, which, come to think of it, we're not even sure he was in. Poor guy.

[Thanks Joe]

AMEN Vegeta.....the writer has no clue of what he talks......which is usually the norm between all these sites

Martez @ Apr 1st 2008 3:37PM

Wow, you guys are so wrong. He will clearly always be remembered as Ruby Rod from The Fifth Element.

Phranctoast @ Apr 1st 2008 3:38PM

damn you...lol

Martez @ Apr 1st 2008 3:38PM

*Ruby Rhod.

Mike @ Apr 1st 2008 4:23PM

You guys can say what you want about Chris Tucker but he is paid. And you guys are not getting 20mil per movie nor for anything in your lives. =]

Martez @ Apr 2nd 2008 11:57AM

Did I say something bad about him? Ruby Rhod was a great character, cracks me up every time I watch that flick.

Phranctoast @ Apr 1st 2008 3:37PM

Maybe he could rehash his ruby rod dj from 5th element on one of the radio stations...

runs and hides.....

GOOOOOOOOD MORNING LIBERTY CITY!

Glen @ Apr 1st 2008 3:41PM

"Brush ya teef" and "What ch'all watchin'" were the best ones. The just fit perfectly.

riggs @ Apr 1st 2008 3:45PM

Dahk @ Apr 1st 2008 3:57PM

That was pretty frickin' awesome lol!

FIFTY MILYION DOLLARS!

The words were actually pretty in sync with the mouth LOL.

Jared @ Apr 1st 2008 4:21PM

That was hiliarious. Maybe they should look into getting him to play the Niko?

Bluebrake @ Apr 1st 2008 4:28PM

This is what an April Fools' joke should be.

Lijik @ Apr 1st 2008 5:31PM

I would buy GTA 4 day one if this was real.

As it stands, it'll have to wait until I get a 360.

B1gg Randall @ Apr 1st 2008 6:13PM

4 real....I will always knw him as smokey 2....lol

AlphaOmegaSin @ Apr 1st 2008 6:49PM

This was so poorly done id like to shit on the guy who made it and light it on fire while he sleeps. its a fuckin voice over, hell you could do the same thing by adding bob barkers voice. "show em what theyve won johnny!" as he pulls out a gun and unloads a few clips, actually thatd be alot more ammusing

tmacairjordan87 @ Apr 1st 2008 9:00PM

feel free to make it otherwise shut the hell up

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Apr 1st 2008 9:04PM

Oh so you can do better?

Oh no you can't. So shut the fuck up.

Owyn @ Apr 1st 2008 8:15PM

That was fantastic. BRUSH YO' TEETH!

TomTom123 @ Apr 1st 2008 11:01PM

That was hilarious.

AlphaOmegaSin @ Apr 2nd 2008 5:42AM

wow your fuckin amazed by a pile of shit? holy hell. voice overs from a fuckin one hit wonder actor, really catchy eh? really hitting the ol "wow factor" arent they? as for doing better, i could add sounds from a phone being thrown at a wall and a vh1 behind the music montage of poison throwing up in their dressing rooms and itd come out sounding a hell of alot better and more interesting you stupid little shits.
