“We Seem to Be Made to Suffer; It’s Our Lot in Life.”
Things I dd not expect to see when I woke up this morning:
? Somebody stuffing a terrifying C-3PO pinata full of fireworks and then setting it off
Admittedly, it’s a very specific list, and yet that’s exactly what this video contains — complete with footage from the airborne protocol droid as he launches into the air, and then explodes almost exactly like he was shot by Stormtroopers in Empire. It’s glorious. It’s also incredibly juvenile, stupid and totally hilarious. I am now ready to kick ass not just today, but for the entire week.

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.
