30 Rock: Tracy Jordan's porno video game sells 61m units
Back in May, we heard 30 Rock character Tracy Jordan was putting the finishing touches on his pornographic video game Goregasm: The Legend of the Dong-Slayer. Since then, according to the 30 Rock season premiere that debuted on Hulu this week, the title has gone on to sell 61 million units. That amounts to an average of approximately 360,947 each day. Comparatively, as of March 2008, Hot Coffee-laden Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has sold just 21.5 million in its then-1,247 day lifetime.
At $60 per game (the price according to Jordan), we're looking at $3.66 billion in sales (approx. $217m daily). When reminded that most games are made by a large team of developers and that he can't keep those billions of dollars, Jordan responded, "I don't know, I think I did it alone." No word yet on the inevitable sequel, Goregasm 2: The Dong Slayer Electro-erotic Boogaloo Massacre. Video of Jordan's announcement after the break. Update: Corrected the title of Jordan's game and, subsequently, our prediction for the sequel's title.

I call shenanigans.
Kristof @ Oct 24th 2008 5:06PM
I believe it's called a TV show
kinshadow @ Oct 24th 2008 5:06PM
Don't you mean shiz-nanigans.
copa @ Oct 24th 2008 5:09PM
I'm not falling for this, either. Like a really crappy game is going to sell millions and millions of units just because it involves swinging some phallic object around.
Now, excuse me, I'm going to go buy Force Unleashed.

Look, if you watch the (most brilliant) show (ever), you'll know that it was a masterpiece that overcame the uncanny valley.
Not the best sub-plot of the show, but this show is hilarious. Please watch this show. Every season I live in fear that it will get cancelled when it's the funniest thing on. It won 7 emmys for last season and the office has only gotten 3 ever.

Umm...
DigDug @ Oct 24th 2008 6:11PM
Definitive proof that Xbox owners are total wankers.
getstew @ Oct 24th 2008 6:54PM
Tracy...MORGAN!
Kuro @ Oct 24th 2008 8:17PM
fail getstew... just fail.
Mighty funny episode, though.
SimbaDogg @ Oct 24th 2008 8:18PM
@ getstew

theturtle363 @ Oct 24th 2008 4:51PM
how did it premiere on hulu? It doesn't come on TV until thursday
Hashbrown Hunter @ Oct 24th 2008 6:19PM
Hulu once in a while gets early exclusive premieres. Chuck was premiered on Hulu a full week before the show aired on NBC.
AoE @ Oct 27th 2008 4:53PM
Hulu is a joint project between Fox and NBC.
Jakka @ Oct 24th 2008 4:55PM
...but can it outsell Halo 3?
kinshadow @ Oct 24th 2008 5:07PM
I bet it also has "grunts"
nonpareil @ Oct 24th 2008 4:59PM
So...you're covering a fictional game on a TV show? Nice.
Roto13 @ Oct 24th 2008 9:37PM
A fictional game on an AWESOME tv show, yes. :P
Dirty @ Oct 24th 2008 5:02PM
I would buy Dong slayer, if those prudes that make consoles would allow it on their systems.
samfish @ Oct 24th 2008 5:03PM
I'm gonna be that guy who risks making a fool out of himself and ask...is this a joke? Because I don't get it.
copa @ Oct 24th 2008 5:05PM
"Because I don't get it."
That's because like most people, you don't watch the show.
Which is a shame, because show is freaking awesome.
Shagittarius @ Oct 24th 2008 5:07PM
Replace the strong black main character with a fat plumber and I think you'll come around.
Chris Are @ Oct 24th 2008 5:25PM
@Copa
You didn't answer his question... or rather, you didn't answer it fully. It's a good show- got it. What's the deal w/ the joke?
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Oct 24th 2008 5:26PM
Better a fat plumber than playing as a naked dude.
Then again, I'm not one to judge if you're into that kind of thing Shag.
Chris Are @ Oct 24th 2008 5:27PM
Never mind- just watched the clip.
Kuro @ Oct 24th 2008 8:20PM
agreed copa
Jonathan Sundy @ Nov 10th 2008 10:48PM
I suck at details... but
Bleu @ Oct 24th 2008 5:03PM
I would buy it shiiiiiit. I will buy it now! HA!
JoeTheBlow @ Oct 24th 2008 5:10PM
Does the Wii version come with extra, extra waggle?
mirage @ Oct 24th 2008 5:25PM
No, but it does come with an extra "Wii-ldo" packed in the box.
Dirty @ Oct 24th 2008 5:28PM
Nintendo would be very "excited" with the opportunity to "service" the gaming public with a new "peripheral".
Bass Masterson @ Oct 24th 2008 5:11PM
Does anybody really like this show? The couple of times I've tried to watch it, it has been excruciatingly bad - kind of like another critical darling, "Arrested Development". Don't know why it's supposed to be so good.
And Tina Fey should pay Sarah Palin royalties.
Erluti @ Oct 24th 2008 5:19PM
This show is freaking hilarious!
Did you see the one with Seinfeld vision?
Did you see any episode with Dr. Spaceman?
Did you see the one where Kenneth joins Tracey's entourage?
Did you see the one where Jack Donaghy falls in love with a democrat?
Did you see the one where the endorse Snapple the whole time?
...
How can you not be entertained by this show?!
Erluti @ Oct 24th 2008 5:23PM
And the one with Keri Fisher where Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) impersonates Tracy Jordan's entire family! Brilliant!
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Oct 24th 2008 5:27PM
I discarded your opinion once you stated that Arrested Development sucks.
Duke @ Oct 24th 2008 5:33PM
whoooooooa leave Arrested Development alone!
Burritoclock @ Oct 24th 2008 5:46PM
I am with you Bass Masterson, I hate this show, but to each his own and all that jazz.
Superstar90 @ Oct 24th 2008 5:52PM
Arrested Development is the best show ever okaaaaaaaaay?
Mr Khan @ Oct 24th 2008 6:28PM
My take: Good not great. It's certainly not without its moments, and its guest appearance integration can't be beat. It just doesn't click with me as a whole
AwesomeTown @ Oct 24th 2008 7:22PM
Now I love 30 Rock, but I don't mind saying you don't like it. That's fine. But do not come in here and tell me that Arrested Development was bad. Arrested Development was a funny explosion that blew away 99% of what was on TV.
Bass Masterson @ Oct 24th 2008 8:25PM
Well, bear in mind I was reasonably restrained and I didn't call you all retards or anything. I just don't "get it". Now, back to my Cop Rock Marathon!
Levi @ Oct 25th 2008 11:40AM
For those of you that would like a recap of the fail displayed here; Bass Masterson thinks 30 Rock and Arrested Development are not funny, thinks Seth Rogen is a loser, and Nate hates the Office.
ck @ Oct 24th 2008 5:15PM
I believe the official title for Mr. Jordan's game is:
Goregasm: The Legend of Dong-Slayer.
And kudos to you Joystiq for putting up such an irrelevant post. As to those who "don't get it," you should really check out the show - it's just as funny (if not funnier) than The Office.
Nate @ Oct 24th 2008 5:19PM
"as funny as The Office" so... not funny?
Phillip Black @ Oct 24th 2008 5:22PM
""as funny as The Office" so... not funny?"
Oh boy, I don't think that's a place you'd like to be in.
Erluti @ Oct 24th 2008 5:24PM
I really don't find the office that funny and 30 Rock makes me cry laughing sometimes.
TheOverlord#2 @ Oct 24th 2008 7:40PM
30 Rock and The Office are both fucking hilarious.
Bass Masterson @ Oct 24th 2008 8:27PM
But see, that's the thing - the American Office isn't funny either. But what can you expect at a time when a loser like Seth Rogen is a top box office draw?
Lijik @ Oct 25th 2008 12:58AM
So I'm coming to the conclusion that Bass Masterson just doesn't like comedy, which is a fucking shame.
Nick the Hero of Canton @ Oct 24th 2008 5:34PM
Funniest show on TV.
Season premieres of 30 Rock are always subpar though :/
Edog Lost @ Oct 24th 2008 5:41PM
I got my SE copy from amazon. It came with a life size replica of...
