OMG BRILLIANT!

I happened across a TERRIBLE video game of some girl showing off her "rare" video game collection (which was comprised of such rarities as Greatest Hits games and SONIC 2!). Well, someone made a parody of it and it is the funniest video game related parody I've ever seen, you gotta watch it.

original video of stupid girl (1 minute is enough to get the idea):

now the awesome parody of it:

and he made a less funny part 2:

He also made a video making fun of his girlfriend playing R-Type:

Buddy went too far over the top with the cartoon voice, but I was relieved to find that he didn't just try to be mean.

When I watched the first video, I felt more sorry for her than dying to pwn.

OMG TOSH!1!!!!11!!1

A girl who has an interest in retro games, sure she isn't that knowledgeable but the fact she even plays these old games instead of just playing Nintendogs or going shoe shopping deserves respect.

And to be fair, if you don't buy retro games online from ebay or whatever, and just look for them locally then even games with millions of copies made are tough to find.

ok, you're missing the point, am I the only one that finds his adlibbed statements about the games hilarious? Hes making fun of every half assed asshat collector that thinks everything is rare (just like the headline of any eBay auction). I guess my brand of humor isn't shared by many...

The point was that he was "retarded" because only a retard would think those games are rare (though the sealed ones he had were obviously rare). If you notice, he had pretty much every game she had, only he had it sealed in the box rather than a torn up loose copy, which further proves how ridiculous her claim was that the games were rare.

This thread title reminded me of The Fast Show. Haven't seen that for years.

Um. No further comments.

marketplace scarcity =/= rare. SMB 3 is the second best selling NES game, FF VII is the second best selling playstation game, so what is rare about them?

Well it would no doubt take me a while to get either of those locally, since theres not much in the way of retro games in shops where I live. There are a suprisingly large number of people who refuse to use ebay, and when you take that out of the equation its a quite a bit harder to get anything.

Anyway, if it was a guy who made the video I'd be more inclined to poke fun.
Making fun of a girl for not knowing a great deal about games is like making fun of a bloke for not knowing much about applying make-up, flower arranging or celebrity gossip.

Unless you have a good retro store in your city, and video game swap meets also make getting common titles easy.

Quite funny stuff.. Mostly because of his voice though.

Hooray! Chivalry isn't dead after all!

I wouldn't touch Nintendogs with a ten-foot pole, I'm already suffering over a real-life dog and I don't need a politically-correct (sans pooping and peeing)/ slightly more advanced Tamagotchi game to remind me how 'fun' looking after a dog is. I also hate that new DS ad where this family bring their own new-coloured Nintendo DSes on holiday:

P.S.: Real DS girl gamers lust after the Phoenix Wright series, anyway. :D

But aren't most video game collectors half assed asshats? ;)

I just think it's kind of cool that anyone has an interest in classic games beyond having a PS2 and a stack of cases (or worse, a stack of CD-Rs). Everyone starts somewhere :)

We're all losers here. Whether you're a *high-functioning* loser, or a close-the-curtains-the-light-it-burns troll is your problem!

Everyone is just trying to be nice because its a girl, if it was a guy on the original vid, I GUARANTEE some of you would be tearing this person a new one. DOUBLE STANDARDS FTL
