collegehumor imagines a young lady bringing a n00b boyfriend home to her l33t parents (SLCH). That is all.

Hilarious! Thank you.

That was...actually funny.

Also, I always love imagining elderly actors going over their lines for these things. "Oooober...gear. p-own? pooon?"

"This relationship is heading for an epic fail."

Is there anything that a snippy patrician accent can't make funny?

I had to stop it both times I watched it (back to back!) after the line, "We don't date noobs, we pwn them!" That is some great stuff.

1) That's actually pretty funny.

2) This is the only piece of comedy I've ever seen where there was a pie and no one got hit in the face with it or had sex with it. A pie is like a gun: if you put it in the movie, it has to go off.

The sound effects n00b forgot to add the sound of the wine glass breaking!

I'm really surprised that this was as funny as it was. Thanks!

But enough about the use-by date.

Ha! This was great. The father was fantastic, I hope they make a sequel.

This was really funny, thank you. "We don't date n00bs, we pwn them!" is gonna have me chuckling all day.

Yes, the father pwned it.

I laughed. I posted it to my guild forum.

Is this something you would need to watch the computer to understand?

Feh. An old guy saying "n00b" isn't enough to make me chuckle. Great production values, though. What's this a commercial for again?

You have to listen for it, but it's there.

Meh. It's no Intervention Intervention, that's for sure.

Would I have to be a smelly, fat loser who plays World of Warcraft to appreciate this?

The spinning in circles when playing Halo line was pretty fantastic as well.

Excellent diction.

That's what I was thinking for the most part. This is basically Internet humour with a budget (Hey look! We can hire actors!).

Still kind of funny though, if only for the Alliance line.

Huh. I hear it now while listening with headphones, but couldn't make it out while playing it over my crappy speakers.

Ugh! Comment FAIL!
