The Spoony Experiment

Demolition Man Review

by Scarlett on September 1, 2008 · View Comments


The Spoony One goes corporate with this new Taco Bell-sponsored review of Demolition Man for the 3DO! It’s a real future shock as we cope with tight new language decency constraints, as well as mounting insanity. What’s my boggle?

    I think this may be my favorite review of Noah's. No matter how many times I see the "Murder\Death\Kill" scene, I laugh my ass off every time.
  • notyoursavior78
    Yeah that got major laughs from me too.

    Excellent review as aslways spoony. but i have one question do you have a Total Recall review somewhere on the net? since i can't find it here or on youtube.
  • I would like to know too if this review exists :3
  • notyoursavior78
    I don't remember the Spoony One ever doing a review for that. But Armake21 reviewed Total Recall that's where I first saw the "infinity hole." LOL
  • Constructionman
    Nice setup for the joke at the end. That's one of the reasons I don't eat taco bell. Carne asada doesn't run through you like that.
  • Brad
    LOL why does your house have a prison toilet?
  • that wasn't the prision toilet, it was the Police Station Toilet =P

    @Gmasterfluffy: That is true, except your definition of "punishment" is actually positive punishment. There's also negative punishment that's basically the removal of a good stimulus for bad behavior (e.g. "grounding"). Of course, you have to make sure that the person actually *sees* the punishment as a bad thing for it to work; grounding your kids to their toy filled, computer and TV containing room usually doesn't work so well--it'd be better to ground such kids *out* of their room!
  • Gmasterfluffy
    Negative Reinforcement is not the same thing as punishment. Negative reinforcement is the removal of an aversive stimulus. Punishment is imposing an aversive stimulus as a result of a behavior deemed morally wrong, I.E. the exact opposite.

    I can't find the lyrics to Break Me anywhere else so....here they are

    I met you on a thursday

    And I'm begging, please

    You took me to your bedroom
    Threw me to the floor

    You make me feel so dirty
    And it feels alright
    Well I know you just gona hurt me when I

    Don't break me, break me
    You're making it feel so good
    Like a young girl should
    When you take me, take me
    I'm givving you what you need
    And I'm begging please
    Don't break me, break me love

    You're making it feel so good

    You know what old game you should review? One that semi plagued my childhood........Die Hard Trillogy for the Playstation, oh my God some of the shooting stages were brutal...and the driving..........
  • AmazingUndeadMonkey
    So apparently Spoony was blond as a kid. Who knew?
  • Jamarushin
    15:20... I almost died...
  • oh man, the one on one fights with Phoenix look right out of mortal kombat

    from the review, it looks like the controls are just as bad
  • Grayfox
    @ M

    It's a special game over from Metal Gear Solid 3, that takes place anytime you do something that would change any events that would happen later in the Metal Gear Timeline (I.E. any of the other games.) For instance, killing Ocelot.
  • M
    were does that "time paradox" come from? its impossible to find that "you created a time paradox" voiceline (if you can say that) on youtube
  • OniYouji
    Wait, you actually got permission from a real band to use their song as your theme song? Not like several other gaming reviewers who just use songs for the heck of it...

    Heh, how very considerate of you. Then again, maybe you're the reason why "Break Me" is the most popular Irresponsibles song on iTunes.

    Also, loved this review. "Go for 20! Go for 20!"
  • Benoc13
    lol smeg
  • Shawn
    is that "in the future, all restaurants are taco bell" a midnight brown reference? if so, awesome! lol
  • personguy
    some might ask "what makes him a good demoman?" well if he were a BAD demoman, he wouldn't be SITTING there, DISCUSSING it with you, now WOULD HE?!?!

    but i'm over here with my head full of eyeballs.
  • Jenx
    The thing that really baffled me about the movie was how was it possible in 40 years 99% of the population to absolutely forget what life was like in the 90s? Hell, the old guy in the police station that used to work with Spartan knew what it was like back then, yet the chief of police (who was probably as old as him) is shocked and amazed how life could have been so "barbaric"!

    So yeah I think that part wasn't really thought out so great.
  • haman
    i think the body count scene coulda used the scene in hot shots part deux... but still, good as always spoony
  • PinkFloydWario
    Nice Beetlejuice Impression. It just cracked me up a that part. GET TO THA CHOPPAH!!!!!!
  • ChaosD1
    @ChaosD1 @Marcus:

    Of course, unless you were talking about Sly Stallone... than... good god, you're right. Demo Man was made in what, '93?
  • ChaosD1
    @Marcus: "Look at how young he was back then. And with no beard-ish facial hair :)"

    "Back then?!" This was made less than a year ago!
  • Marcus
    Look at how young he was back then. And with no beard-ish facial hair :)
  • Diggerjohn111
    Nice to see the old classics Spoon. Yor was the review that made me a full fledged fan of the site.
  • Rihards
    Again why?
    Ehh, maybe it was accidentally deleted and now it here again.
  • littlenorwegians
    OK?
    It's nothing to complain about since you have been updating fairly regularly, and as you said it doesn't hurt to revisit some classics.
    Still I feel that you didn't have to post these on the front page, but I "forgive" you since you're being silly :)

    Have a great day Spoony and all.
