Or get over enthusiastic while standing 2-3 metres from the tv... (...and he's a bit closer then that >_>) | |
I want to play on a Wii / buy another(!) | |
Well the man certainly can make the best out of a bad situation | |
I don't see why anyone would want any of those cheap and nasty peripherals. Although that was pretty funny when he winged the racket into the TV. Also the baseball bat add-on looked a bit dodgy if you know what I mean. Damn my dirty mind | |
Well, it's fully interactive. :P | |
And that video right there goes to prove why you don't really need those peripherals. I was confused at first because right before he hucked the racket, I noticed that the wiimote was tethered to his wrist. Still, would've been funnier if the thing exploded mightily and tipped over, but hilarious video nonetheless. | |
lets not get into a laugh-fest over the consoles name either, after all, there are pictures out there of people 'enjoying' the rumble feature. seriously though, I only played Rock-Band for the Wii, and even that is dangerous. [the drumsticks broke, sending shrapnel towards our singer, to be honest though, she was pretty bad.] | |
I think your Konata image suits your personality quite well, mwahah! | |
For those who don't want to sit through 5 mins of crap; This is pretty funny. Poor TV though. | |
The best part is that the Wiimote didn't fly out of his hand; the weird plastic add-on flew off the Wiimote. 3rd party hardware seems kinda sketchy. | |
I hate those people. They have NO idea what they are talking about. | |
That was funny, but I cringed when I saw that beautiful TV ruined by some crappy accessory. MAKE SURE THEY ARE ON! PLEASE! | |
Why use the racket thing at all? Isn't the point of the Wii to use the remote and imagine you're playing tennis? | |
Probably intentional. The tree spirit was clearly expressing its opinion of her singing aptitude. Anyway, that's hilarious. | |
Seen this, and it's hilarious....very hilarious. | |
hey, heres a tip, don't swing so hard, its not an f-ingreal rachet- just flick it. and who else noticed they're charging about a hundreddollars more than the wii and periferals cost. and these people are such over hypers, not every wii game is a stand up thing, stupid HSNers. I'd hate to standup playing Mario Galaxy for a solid hour or more. | |
is this breaking the fourth wall? | |
What a dumbass. | |
"And there goes the tennis racket" | |
Come on. When he jumped up and down like that you knew something was going to break. | |
This is how not to play the Wii.Unless you're a giant douche. | |
The game must've not liked the tv. Hilarious. | |
I'm having a cringe attack. And jeez, she did not help with all that laughing. | |
Good thing they've claimed to sell so many. | |
"Buy now and we'll throw the TV in for free!" They showed everyone how not to play the Wii. | |
And that's why you don't buy useless accesories. | |
This is why I'm having trouble getting a plasma screen tv. If a wiimote goes through my old tv, it will bounce off. Old world craftmanship ftw. | |
Make sure that your accessories are pushed on all the way... ... best scene save of the day using a phrase beloved of pornographers... | |
I laughed | |
Funny, but there was about 8 minutes too much of that clip. | |
I was actually tempted to get a sword attachment, as I like swinging swords more than just holding the remote like one and there are appropriate games for it. I'm less tempted now ^^; | |
that's pretty darn funny it's always funny when they do something stupid on live tv that everyone says "oh the joys of live tv" | |
i work for kmart and all that crap and the Wii is not worth that much if you buy it seperatly maybe 300 total but thats it | |
I love the fact that right after he threw the peripheral at the screen, it said extended holiday return policy at the bottom of the video, because they knew people would want to start returning it after that incident. This guy is a retard however because when a person stands right next to the tv and makes exagerated movements like that, of course the crappy peripheral is going to hit the screen. I also think that this is a relly stupid bundle because some of the peripherals that are included are for games that are not even included in the bundle and even if you buy a game that does use one of those peripherals it usually already bundled with most of those games so what is the point? | |

Home Shopping Network Screwup Shows Importance of Wii Safety
Watching some sucker throw a Wii Remote at the TV screen is funny. Watching some sucker throw a Wii Remote at the TV screen while on live television is hilarious.
I'm actually not sure if other countries have the Home Shopping Network (or something like it), but for clarity's sake: On the Home Shopping Network, people demo products and sell special bundle packages, ostensibly at better prices than you'd find at average retail. It's essentially a series of infomercials, and since it is broadcasted live, the format renders it uniquely suited to amusing bloopers.
Bloopers like the one in the video above. While attempting to sell a Wii bundle including 15 of those wacky Wii peripherals that run the gamut from Wii tennis racquets (as shown above) to ... I don't know, Wii toaster ovens. While demonstrating the system's motion control tech - and demonstrating the tennis attachment - at around 4:55, the presenter also inadvertently demonstrates just why you should use one of those protective padded sleeves on your Wii Remotes. It's cringe-worthy, but laughter-inducing all the same.
Or perhaps he just demonstrates why you shouldn't use crappy third-party peripherals for the damn thing that haven't been given the Nintendo thumbs-up. That works too.
