If you must produce a fake-rap promotional video for your beloved video game, please follow these guidelines:
- Substitute crazy nonverbal grunts and screams for words when possible.
- Autotune the shit out of the few lyrics you do use.
- Keep it short!
PopCap does it right in this bit of nonsense in support of Plants Vs. Zombies:
The Stranger Testing Department is Rob Lightner and Paul Hughes.
what did I just watch?
I’m sorry, but the disco dude zombie is far inferior to the Michael Jackson zombie that he replaced. I’m glad I have the early version of the game.
oh dear. the bathtub bit was, umm, disturbingly, uh, hot. Am I going to have to write Savage about this?
Joaquin Phoenix was a nice touch too…
Wow … complaining about someone being weird …. sad.
Also, that’s not autotune, that vibraphone.
Is this old? I hardly think they need to promote Plants vs. Zombies now – it’s a widely beloved game. I got all excited thinking maybe it was for a sequel or something 🙁
@4: Who’s complaining?
@7 The blog post seemed to be insulting the makers of it, I could be mistaken, but the “guidelines” listed seem a bit judgmental to me.
