Videogame Violence & Your Children (Parody PSA)

ByNalts

This video has been in discussion for months and months, and I gotta give props to SlatersGarage and Iggy35 for continuing to provide pieces for it, as I stalled on it. CharlesTrippy, FallofAutumnDistro and Edbassmaster all turned around their parts with about 24-hours notice or less!

The idea hit me earlier this year, and it was going to be a fake news report about violence, where you’re supposed to believe it’s condemning violence. But then the clips get stranger and stranger. Then it seemed like the 1940-style public service announcements (PSA) made more sense, and the campy music makes a nice contrast to the simulated violence… Frogger getting run over, Mario’s head falling off, Dora the Explorer shouting “sniper says no sniping.”

Credit to my nephew who helped develop the concept and even provided some gurgling sound effects for it.

Seems to have been worth the effort given early response. I haven’t had too many of my videos shoot to the top-20 best rated videos within hours. THANKS co-collaborators!

Deadbeat dads everywhere are celebrating the fact that they’re perhaps not the worst dad in the United States. That title belongs to Richard Heene, who tugged our heartstrings, lied, and made his kid hide in a box for hours… all for publicity.

  1. I seriously have to be in a good video like this some day. Just think, if I already get 11 subscribers for just having 4 seconds in a Nalts video (“bad Nalts bears”), I’d probably get like 100 if i was in a good colab!

  2. I should send in my supernote… after recording it (shut up, I have two weeks or so to get it done), maybe that’ll help my subscriber count.

    oh, and nalts, glad to prompt a “thank goodness” with my insult.

  3. Nothing annoys me more than people who use the wrong “their, they’re and there” and/or the wrong “two, to, and too”.
    Here’s your sentence:

    “I haven’t had two many of my videos…”

    Are you doing this just to drive me crazy, Nalts?
