That was pretty funny!

This might actually be worth getting pending the outcome of initial reviews.

Humourous :D

I can't wait for Monster Hunter Tri, it only makes me wish online was better on Tri and Monster Hunter games were massive worlds rather then sections and levels, but ah well, I'll take what I'm given. Release already >.

This is working its way up my list of games to grab. I'm still spending my time playing through Muramasa.

i can see how it could be considered silly or something, but is this the kind of "humour" thats actually making you laugh? or even chuckle?

@Brian

Without getting overly analytical, I'd say it's all about your life experience that determines what you find funny. There's a reason that there are bitter old cranks in the retirement homes instead of bitter 12-year old cranks on the playgrounds; once you've used up a comedic source, that's one less thing in the world to find amusing. Looking at these videos, I've seen this shtick a few hundred times before (the whole "ach, ya wee sissy baby!" thing brings to mind Monty Python to Mike Meyers routines) so it's not funny to me due to over-exposure. Someone less exposed to that humor might still be able to find it amusing, but I can't. It's an old shtick, it's been done better, and this guy adds nothing to it.

It comes down to the old saw that "ignorance is bliss". Generally the less you experience in life the happier and more easily amused you are.

Yeah I didn't think it was funny either.

But I do agree with freaparn. The Scottish tough-guy thing is so played out.

You can see more of Ironbeard on the official website. Guy is funny.

Those were pretty funny but a bit long. Would like to see a 30-second TV spot of these.

You can see Nintendo's hand in there, i think. Influence of the similarly obnoxious-yet-hilarious cowboy jed of MKWii fame.

Definitely doing something different, because the tone and whatnot are severely off from the rather recent NA commercials for Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on PSP

I've always been amused by the Scots-Irish accent. I'm not sure why but it probably has something to do with Groundskeeper Willy.
