Damn Right Your Dad Played It
?
Other than getting on a plane that caught on fire, I had a pretty good three-day weekend. The best part? Not dying in a fire on a plane. Close second? This D&D ad, parodying those awesome Canadian Club whiskey ads, made by my buddy Chris Ward (click the link to see an original). If you’ve been reading the Star Wars haiku contest, you know Ward has been on fire with comedy this weekend; I think I’m going to have to give him a separate tribute page whenever I do the winners’ article. But goddamn, nothing tops this thing. “Rolled to feel up his elf girlfriend?” FUCK AND YES. (Via World of WardCrap)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
