Memewatch: Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher as 'Keyboard Cat'

by Ben Gilbert on Sep 3rd 2009 7:00PM

As if the piece on CNN weren't enough, the Internet's own "Keyboard Cat" has just been given the Sam Fisher homeless militant makeover for a recent video advertising Splinter Cell Conviction's upcoming PAX appearance. Titled, "Play him off, Keyboard Sam," the video ... well, we've embedded it after the break. We refuse to spoil the hilarity for you. Enjoy.

LOL! Pretty funny.

Fatso?

Nice spoof.

Meh-ssopatamia

actually, denial is a river in EGYPT.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

You guys are so funny. I can see the videos before you post them under Joystiq Videos.

I knew this was coming. Love Keyboard Cat!

Did you know it was coming because Kotaku reported it much earlier (as usual)? I come here solely for the witty comments.

than get out, we don't want someone on here who is a rightcious prick whose soul reasoning for coming here is so that he can read people with comments that he finds witty.

its okay dude, no one can resist my charms and good humor

That was okay. I think i like Keyboard plays off the hindenburg better

There's something really awkward about the cat animation.

This looks like it's been shopped.

lol, nice setup

He hath seen a couple of 'shops in his day.

Also he can tell from some of the pixels.

That would have been more hilarious if they busted out NEDM when "Sam's" head fell on the keyboard.

this isn't failblog boy. you don't pull that shit here in joystiq.

It made me lol. Love to see a serious game being able to poke fun at itself.

That was so much lol in one min.

Is anyone else having trouble with YouTube taking forever to load movies? It's driving me nuts.

Is this when we eat him? Can we eat him now? I've got my special human knife-wrench all ready to go...

KNIFE WREEEEENCH!

That was fantastic.

WHAT YOU SEE WHEN YOU DIE

That was great.

I'm a bit confused. The video looked like a bad Youtube dub, what with the poor Photoshop of the cat on the guy's face, but then it says "See You at PAX", as if to say it's an official video. So was it official, and Ubisoft decided to not put any real resources into the trailer?

Maybe I'm analyzing too much.

Okay... okay... Lemme break it down for you....

Beloved internet meme + hotly anticipated game = success.

Honestly though, I wouldn't look too much into the production values, it's a viral video, and it serves its intended purpose.
