6 Is this an ad for a movie or what? Anyway, they ruined it with all the rap/hip hop.

8 Sheesh, wasn't the Mario brothers a kids game or something?

9 LOL. That was even better than the Lego: Black Ops. Even though it was weird seeing my adorable Toad as a baggy-pants wearing black guy.

Those are the two assholes.

...

From the joke?

About the Italian with two assholes?

Which it turns out are Polish guys?

Because it's a Polish joke?

A classic you all know?

...

[thump thump]

...

Yes, they look Polish. It's the mustaches. They're not silly enough to make the characters register as Italian. If a cartoon guy isn't sweating through a wifebeater while rolling dough or spitting spaghetti while shouting out a window, he has to have a mustache that points up at the ends, and a monkey on a leash, or he's not Italian.

So what you're saying is that they're the Mariusz Brothers?

If so, they should star this guy as Mariusz. I don't know who you get to play Ludwik though.

15 Too dark, I missed some of the sight gags.

If they'd worked in a gorilla and some barrels, then it would have been funny.

Hows about a Zelda version?

Posted by: YIKES! at December 16, 2010 11:26 AM (Nv5QF)

20 I liked the "Well excuuuuuse meee, Princess" line. Works even if you don't get the reference to the Zelda cartoon show.

32 O/T- Pat Toomey, RINO-PA, has come out in favor of repealing DADT. Obviously needs to be primaried in 2016.

I saw that. Why the hell would he even make a statement? He' a fuckin' Senator-elect!

36 From The Corner:

At a press conference this afternoon, Sen. Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) pushed back against GOP attempts to read aloud bills that are being hustled through the lame duck.

Â“I would hope that those senators who have talked about the desecration of the spirit of Christmas would understand that reading bills is a total waste of time,Â” Durbin said. Â“The omnibus appropriation bill has now been posted on the Internet for 48 hours. Even a slow-reading senator could be working their way through it by Saturday.Â”

41 Liked some of the lines that referenced the games. They even had one from the old Zelda cartoon.

Posted by: Grayson at December 16, 2010 04:16 PM (nJhke)

42 That was awesome.

Posted by: Dick_Nixon at December 16, 2010 04:27 PM (o3Xa4)

Damn. Wyden is done for the session. Prostate cancer surgery. That DADT vote and a few others just got more interesting.

I still think the clock can run out on DADT. Snowe said yes, but it was very conditional. I'm not sure if Brown will vote if the budget is a mess and the tax deal is stalled. I still hope one unsuspecting Dem flips. Webb???

Just need onw more Dem to slip on some ice and break a hip.

47 I hate GTA. Is it too much to ask for a story to have actual good guys in it?

Mario and Luigi could, in this video, have just as easily been honest businessmen who refused to give in to the expanding mob bosses. Great story, and characters I could actually sympathize with instead of just hoping the whole list of characters dies.
