More of 'The Funny'

A new series seems to be starting on The Escapist, the site you might remember from other such hilarious material as Zero Punctuation and Unforgotten Realms. It’s called Unskippable, and delightfully rips to shreds those annoying, godawful and unskippable cinematic scenes that Japan in particular seems to enjoy shoving up our ass (incidentally, fuck you Japan). In the first episode, some JRPG called Eternal Sonata gets raked over the coals…and deservedly so, as this near 10 MINUTE INTRO is one of the most appallingly arrogant loads of crap I have been exposed to in some time. So, as it plays the two mockers give it the Mystery Science Theater treatment. As was the case with MST3K, not every joke hits, but several boot it squarely enough in the nuts as to make it worthwhile. They also tore apart Lost Planet’s introduction here.
