Don't be a backseat Mario Karter

Ugh, backseat drivers. They suck, right? Always telling you to "slow down" or that you "can't park in my living room." What do they know? If they were any good, they'd be the ones driving. Well, now that concept has come to video games.
After the break is the first episode of a new web series called Backseat Gamer, which is pretty much what you'd expect from the title. Guess they heard that playing with friends is best. We didn't have such foul-mouthed friends in mind when whipping up that feature, though, but diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, and all that. Also, we'd like to say that, personally, we use the Wii Wheel when playing Mario Kart Wii, unlike the video's protagonist. Why? Because that's how the real gangsters roll.
Past the break you'll find the video. But, know that it is very much NSFW and chock full of foul language.

First Post!
In other news, that was sort of just like the angry nintendo nerd, only he wasn't funny.

LOL! I can definitely relate! Take that down just a bit, maybe make it a little less NSFW, and that's exactly what my wife says I do when I'm trying to get my last star rank on 150cc for the 20th time.

Why is this funny?
It doesn't take a lot of talent or creativity to film someone shouting.

Yeah. Sounds entirely familiar (usually both kids are playing, though). And dude. I think Wii Wheels are for the elite nimrods who like showing off 'SICK SKILLZ MANG'. Ugh...

That was lame as all hell. Not funny at all.

ok!

If the guy playing was using the wheel, it wouldn't be as funny.
Chris @ May 28th 2008 2:25PM
totally! The reason it was funny was because the guy playing showed no actual interest in how he did. He'd actually show emotion if he were using the wheel.

"BABY PEACH IS A CUNT!"
also,
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM SHELL FUCKING RAPES"
I found this kinda of humor perfect for when you only have a hour left of work.
