Can parody be parodied? That's the question we ask ourselves after watching this spoof of Geoff Keighley's appearance on FOX News. While the skit itself is alright, it was the reporter's opening monologue that made the clip post-worthy. So without giving anything away, we'll just say that, damn, we really wish we'd played the publicized version of Mass Effect. Because it sounds really freakin' hot.

Wii
"Are U Mr Ga?"
xD
2 girls 1 kart. Pure awesomeness.
Oh too funny.
more asses possible? lol
I did not laugh. I may have smirked, but it was insubstantial.
Nice production values though.
Awesome! And yet sadly still more credible than the ACTUAL Fox News.
MarioKart DoubleDash: 2 Girls 1 Kart?
Hahhahahaha.
haha pretty kool
Haha "Are U Mr Gay?"
Wanna see my Pokemans?
What???? CUT HIS MIC!!!! lol.
Haha, hilarious...Especially how they cut him off. Man I fucking hate Fox by now. And I don't even live in the USA. :(
I just bought the game on Sunday, and am personally working towards making hot steamy love with Ashley (playing as a male Sheppard).
"My daughter is teen pregnant!"
@Candlejack: It's okay, Fox News projects such a powerful aura of suck that it can be felt the world over.
That was down right falling on the flooring laughter material. I loved it. A perfect spoof a terrible discourse.
I love how they didn't have a woman to portray the crappy author.
@mekklesack2: Can he do that?!?!
This is a repost Kotaku, the first time you posted it is here: [kotaku.com]
But seriously...damn near identical to what it parodies, minus the good ending. XD
This is basically proof that real life is impossible to effectively parody. We've crossed some sort of absurdity threshold.
"Ass""Ass" ins Creed; More Asses Possible?"
Hilarious!!!
Indeed the captions at the bottom were the best part of the clip.
That was great.
@Kj719:
"No, of course not!"
""whew..."
"..Cut his mic!"
Haha. "I think the blue chick was pretty hot..."
This one on Halo's utter destruction of the human race is better. [loadingreadyrun.com]
I lol'ed at "2 girls, 1 kart"
coool
That's how the real thing pretty much went down.
"Frequent acts of violent, un-lubed buggary"
Am I the only one that doesn't find this to be that funny. I think everyone is forcing themselves to think it's funny because it takes our viewpoint. It doesn't actually make these filmmakers witty.
They... didn't... fuck it up... the didn't fuck it up? Jack... sorta sides with is, EA, not evil, this, should we expect Yahtzee's death tomorrow/downfall due to obsessive re-dubbings of mediocre game intro sequences? At this rate, Fox will apologize on national television, or maybe Broussard admits he's crazy, lets the 3D Realms team working on DNF finish and release it, then wrap up the week with the end of all that ever was and will be by Friday.
That guy's voice is far too nasal-y to be taken seriously..
@njhardcoreguy: I concur.
there were several lines that were really funny, but overall, it was just okay.
I'm gonna have to go with the research here, this video rules.
@Bando: what?!?!?
I still like Shepard's response to FOX NEWS better. XD
[www.youtube.com]
Writing: okay
Acting: horrible
2 girls 1 Kart: fucking hilarious
I feel like the kind of guys who would find this funny are the same ones who spend too much time in EB Games and talk really loud to eachother so that everyone can hear their opinions about (X) game while at the same time quoting stuff from Aqua Teen Hunger force.
those guys at LRR crack me up.
@Lono:
@njhardcoreguy:
Oh, come on. If you can do better, go ahead and post it. It wasn't laugh out loud funny, but it was only supposed to be a minor diversion. Get over it.
Jesus...what you want, oscar-caliber performances?
@LordMaim: Indeed.
Great video, they nailed it.
It's good. I mean, seriously. Like a brownie with ice cream inside.
@DigitalHero: Holy shit that won ever so hard. XD
Hahaha, almost like the real thing, cept the end.
@njhardcoreguy: It's vaguely humorous in some sections, but overall it's middle of the road.
2 girls 1 Kart. Too funny senor.

Someone needs to learn how to use their color key function correctly. This is some truly painful green screening.
Oh funny vid btw.
@MrMcdoobie: Yeah, I think that was the best part :)
fantastic, loved the captions, the explosion could have been better, didn't seem very plasma-like, haha
Watching the ticker was the best part.
I laughed so hard at "the firmness of their characters as, and what it tastes like when you nibble longingly on their earlobe"
@Furious_Liver:
LOL. The best reponse ever to FOX. :D
