Saw this on the new MMO roulette and thought that you all might like a look. I mean the faked accent is pretty bad but he's pretty spot on. Anyways, it's a good laugh. :)

Too hard to sit through, just another wannabe with an accent so bad it sounded like Dick Van Dyke's Australian bastard love child!

Oh dear. I am torn.

I loved how he parody'd (Spellcheck?) ZP, but the accent was almost terrible enough to make me blow my ears off, but at the same time, I loved it. I think I'll just go down some pills, =).

I don't really know what else I expected from Something Awful, but yeah, that was awful. People used to know the difference between something terrible and something funny.

(Hint: If you laugh, it's funny. If you have trouble watching the whole thing, it's terrible)

First, you have to be funny. Second, you have to be able to talk fast, yet coherently (there were parts that were just mumbling).
Third, make up your own jokes, then use them once. Talking about your arse or poo and saying MMUMOPERGER every three seconds isn't a substitute.
You have to wonder why they bother.

Utterly pointless and I totally fail to understand how anyone above the age of five can think it's funny. To say that this guy is as funny as Yahtzee because he's doing the same kind of thing is like saying Meat Loaf would be an as good sprint runner as Ben Johnson if he only used the same steroids.

This guy doesn't really talk fast either put his review/parody makes a lot more sense.

Horrible to be honest. People who copy Yahtzee need to understand his humor.
Exactly, it's not enough to just parrot some phrases he uses and hopes to get the same response. I know it was just meant to be a friendly p**-take, but it needed some more work.

I found that parody rather entertaining.

In order to assist those of you fellas who seem to be confused by the concept I took the liberty to take out a piece from a Thesaurus:

Parody
Definition: To copy (the manner or expression of another), especially in an exaggerated or mocking way.

Which, as you may see, is something entirely different from 'ripping off' anybody or anything.

Lastly, to those of you who claimed the voice of the guy caused you so indescribable pain; sound waves were not created for your benefit, if that hurt your ears you might want to turn down the volume a touch before you play a game, some music or a movie.
Otherwise you might end up blowing your mind
(Out your nose)

But to parody comedy is to take on it's desire to be funny. This, to many of us, was not.

So our points still stand. As it's our subjective opinion.

Ok Some Punctuation: the guy doesn't talk as fast but he excuses himself for it.

SA Parody: The guy's accent isn't exactly the same as yahtzee's, but he excuses himself for it, and his terrible accent is actually funny!

The point of a parody isn't to make a review of a video game in the style of yahtzee, and make it as good as one of yahtzee's originals; the point of a parody IS TO MAKE FUN OF YAHTZEE! And in that mission, this video does pretty well. So what if he repeats a similar joke two or three times? Yahtzee repeats the same kind of similar jokes every week, and we're still coming back for more...whoosh there's the sound of parody going right over your heads!

To all of the haters, try to take your lips off yahtzee's dick, please. He doesn't need you to defend him from parody. In fact, your reaction just proves that this parody succeeded. Let's see you make something better.

No disrespect to yahtzee of course...

You didn't find it funny like Bush and the GOP didn't find the Colbert White House Correspondents Dinner funny.

Maybe "they bother" because it gets you riled up.
