    All I can say is “What the hell did I just watch?” If I were one of the people doing this video, I wouldn’t be able to read any of these lines without dying of laughter. This video really takes stupid to a whole new level…

  • PandaBrawler

    Jeez, and I thought the GameStop video I was forced to watch was terrible.
    Heh, seeing Mace Griffin brand new. That's funny as hell.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=3221075 Michael Dean

    That lady sounds like me trying to talk in slang. Which is exactly why I don't.
    Great find, Spoony!

  • mysterymook

    Oh God. What am I watching? For sheezie.

  • 狐・小百合

    Oh no more, this video is so hard to watch because I can't stop laughing-!! I'm not kidding, I especially love the gang-talking lady who applies absolutely no tone to her voice as she does it.

  • dieseledge

    LOL

    too… much… forced slang.

  • michaelrittenberry

    I think now I understand why the parent company, Movie Gallery, has had to file bankruptcy twice within three years. This is shameful, even for a training video.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Anthony-Cekic/1142040841 Anthony Cekic

    Oh dear god make it stop! When will management learn that training videos don't train people just help them realize that the company is run by a bunch of retards trying to look hip. Such as the lady who must have watched hooked on ebonics as a kid.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Justin-Patrick-MacIntyre/726213185 Justin Patrick MacIntyre

    the zelda lady perfected the sheer retardation of the video, good choice spoony! keep these weird…uhh…”videos” coming

  • drironygrasso

    it surprising how scary this is, oh god zelda…
    anywho actually Game Crazy is quite nice in my state, their not douchebags or anything like at Game Stop and they actually are real human beings! (their not manipulative and naggy or anything kinda like Spoony) strange huh?

  • ScutigeraColeoptrata

    AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!~

  • deserteagle

    Is there anyway you can have “Zelda” in future episodes? Her slang was so utterly stupid I laughed everytime she opened her mouth.

    Also; “Well, rap's dead it had a good run.” is one of the funniest lines I heard on in your sketches.

  • chachibouman

    zelda scott sounded like a female version of mr. rogers from the hizzood.

  • Cube-heaD

    BOOOOO-YAAAAAAA!!! ….that and your laughter in the background sums up the madness.

  • warxepb

    Someone needs to replace that woman with Mr. T, but with the same audio.

  • BrendanConcannon

    The PS2 has RIDGE RACER! RRRRIIIIIDGE RRRRRRRRRRAAAACCERRRR!!!

    That joke about Daikatana? That one nearly made me laugh my ass off. That game sucked SOO BAD!! You had to download patches to get past the first stage.

  • dragonfly82

    LMAO!!

    WTF did I just watched??!!!

  • murderouscow

    THATS how Game Crazy trrained employees? No wonder Hollywood Video's going under….

    Well, that and Netflix….

  • anonns

    I heart mad gangsta cred!

  • spazzmaster

    That Gale chick was fucking STOOOOOONNNNED!!!

    “That stuff is krunk!”

    hahahahahahahaha

    I can't tell if they were being serious or parodying a bad training video.

      its Crunk not Krunk

  • http://dragoniangirl.deviantart.com/ DeeGee

    I've seen a lot of training videos and I have to admit that if I was hired by this company and was shown this video, I'd quit right then and there. Dear god that was actually painful to watch!

  • laharl777

    That was amazing! I can't believe that's a training video. You'd be hard pressed to take any of that seriously.

  • capthavic

    When this lady goes to hell and she asks why, this will be the video they show.

  • http://foxhack.livejournal.com/ Foxhack

    If I applied to GameCrazy and was forced to watch this thing, I would've been kicked out for laughing my ass off at this… crazy woman.

    I'd like to know if she ever realized just how offensive she really was.

  • jaysong56

    Duke Nukem Forever!!! Hahahaha!! There was many funny lines in this video. Nice work spoony. But I love that Duke Nukem Forever bit…. That would be like a 56 year pre-order. I am not even sure games will even exists when its released.

    And loved the FF crystal chronicles comment. I hate final fantasy 8 , like many other final fantasy games but I loath Crystal chronicles it brings terrible to a new level.

  • anonns

    I wonder what kind of porn Gail watches

  • DoktorSleepless

    This video pretty much made fun of itself. The commentary elevated it.

  • Redbob86

    I know that woman playing Zelda just drunk herself into a coma after shooting that sketch and selling out her dignity.

    But on the plus side, she DOES teach us a valuable lesson. And that is all of this gangsta bullshit is fucking stupid no matter who says it. Like all fads and forced buzz words, they have no real value whatsoever, and become even more stupid the more you hear it. It's sorta like when you're a small child playing with toys, and then your parents try to show the same enthusiasm, suddenly you realize that it's kinda dumb when adults do it, which makes you then realize that this stuff you liked was actually pretty lame.

    Thank you, Zelda, for driving the point home that spewing crap like that is fucking irritating. Now drink deep, Zelda, drink deep and try to forget this ever happened, and hope to God some snarky bastard on the internet doesn't get his hands on this video…

  • mrwednesdaynight

    Just when I think I have all the answers, Spoony changes the questions. I could not stop laughing at this video. You really were on a completely different level with this Game Crazy training video. Very funny. Where did you even find this? I hope you do more things like this in the future.

  • Colme

    “My 12 year old son likes dragons.”

    “You need a PS2 to play racing games!”

    Obviously.

    Great review Spoony. But I have to say, Zelda stole the show. Peace out dog.

  • obscuruslupa

    “I regret my purchase!” LOL That Zelda lady was like a scary ghetto Scarlett. O.o

  • SenorPwnage

    I've got to say, I knew from the beginning they didn't give a shit about their customers, and they would never attempt to understand them in a way that didn't relate to sales.

    But still, BEATING NINJA GAIDEN IN A DAY? Who the fuck actually does something like that? I mean, is this actually so common an occurrence that Game Crazy has to set up plans for these people? If so, wow, I must be a huge pussy.

    Also, I think I cried when I realized Zelda was their attempt at humor. Somehow that's even worse than her simply trying to be “hip.”

  • SenorPwnage

    PROTIP: Duke Nukem Forever is already cancelled.

    http://duke.a-13.net/

  • dustyjo

    I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that the PS2 can only play 2 players without a multitap, yet he says it can play up to 4…

    holy shit this video is stupid

  • http://www.facebook.com/Treima Jimi Alexander

    How the hell did you get your hands on this? Did it get released to the public domain or something? Golly gee, that was terrible!

  • jaysong56

    Dammit. I was looking forward to playing the game and having windows 95 type graphics in one area , then later on 2002 and then 2004 graphics. Well I know it would not be like that but it would love to see the state of a game that has been in development over like 10 years. “Too Human” took a long time to make as well right? Man what a god dam horrible , horrible , horrible , horrible game that was!!!…..

    I hope it DN:F gets revived. Looks unlikely now. I just read the wiki though from what I can see it might still be in some development or have future plans to return to development. But I know how unreliable wiki is.

    Last comment about the game on wiki is as follows. “According to a recent interview with magazine Gamesauce, “3D Realms has laid off the game's internal development team, but still plans to most likely work with external development studios to develop the game.”

  • TrenoNeoKnight

    The fact that I ever considered employment at GameCrazy only adds to the already incredibly awkwardness of watching this video. Spoony you made this bearable. I thank you for your kindness.

  • http://twitter.com/Deimos1984ad Zak Mahmud

    This is funny stuff, Every time they would show Zelda Scott I would yell WHY!!!!!??? or GOOD GOD!!! and wut not.
    Thanks Spoony that made my day.

  • pheathos

    That….was…..Awesome!!!! Seriously, some of the most funny shit ive ever seen.

  • http://twitter.com/Anaphyis Anaphyis

    Zelda rules da hizzy, biatch!

    I especially loved the expression of utter annoyance on their faces whenever she was talking to an employee. Ryan is probably enjoying his new life scraping roadkill off the highway. At least that job is dignified.

  • Haplo699

    Okay Crow Wicked Prayer your time is up, we have a new Bizarre Out of Place Ebonics Champion!

  • http://twitter.com/DANfan69 Kaohe Alama-Francis

    As a former employee of a Gamestop, all these points of interest are also brought up there…. except for the game demo thing. Can you just imagine if somebody asked you to demo “Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude” at the store?

    And Jesus Christ that female interviewer was obnoxious and racist as hell! No wonder why you hardly see any black people working at game stores! And I bet that girl who wore the Crystal Chronicles shirt was the first in line to get Final Fantasy XIII *Sarcasm*.

  • QuetzaDrake

    I bet many prospective Gamecrazy employees were unable to finish this video and immediately walked out of the store or simply died in their chairs.

    Booyah, Zelda. Booyah indeed.

    I think it says something that I've never heard of gamecrazy and I live withing 5 miles of one. (just looked it up on google)

    frankly the used game store has been in the shitter from when funcoland got bought out.

    I've seen many training tapes in my day. but the best training I ever got was when I worked at a toy store and we were instructed and I quote “don't fucking swear on live tv.” and yes that's because at kb toys one of the brilliant employees said in answer to the question of why people showed up at 5:00 am on the day after thanksgiving (again on live tv) I have no fucking idea.

    Wait wait wait wait…. the video is actually real? it wasn't made as a joke? they actually show that abomination to employees? wow… just wow… i really though this was a joke, a video making fun of some stupid store… and it is… but it makes fun of itself, not of some other store… wow… just wow…..

    I guess they think, if anyone survive this video, he can work a the store without any problem! This is a endurance test.

  • lynchadoryx

    I am so disturbed by Zelda…
    But on the other hand, I wish the employees at my local Gamestop were a little more like this rather than mindless zombies.

    I wonder what kind of porn Zelda watches

  • Strelnikov

    “…ads endlessly repeated like Marxist propaganda.” Sorry Spoony, but the Russians put their propaganda on red banners in white block Cyrillic outside buildings, mostly to creep out the rare American tourist awed by “ZA KOMMUNISMA!” in 2 foot letters.

    The joke you should have made was Joel's “You can sell…you want to be popular” which he took from a subliminal tape for department store clerks; I think he used in in the “Hired!” shorts.

    Zelda is more white than a ham and mayonase sandwich on Wonder Bread….she is so white, she makes Ingmar Bergman look like Omar Sharif….I'm suprised people were not wearing sunglasses in that video when she was on set. This one person has set slang back 60 years and somehow made velcro shoes cool again.

  • http://www.facebook.com/mick.cremeans Mick Cremeans

    Spoon man where's the chain? Cause that was off it dawg

  • Xevv

    Oh my god, that zelda girl… I laughed so much.

    Also you just see those actors really aren't taking this seriously, especially the interview at the end, they look like they're holding back laughter the whole time.

  • Anonymous

    Heh, Spoony and I were in completely in synch when when we both said “excrusive?” at the same time.

  • Cthulhu07

    That Zelda character…. SCARY! VERY SCARY!! :D

  • Dorran844221

    Ouch… just… ouch… that physically hurt to watch… Zelda was so white, she made Vanilla Ice look black…

  • http://twitter.com/dimipapa dimipapa

    Bald guy at 12:30 is my cousin, his name is Gus, he was was a district manager lol. I can't believe he's in this.

  • DJGamer

    You know, if you're just going to sell back your games after beating them there's this crazy thing called RENTING. Doesn't cost nearly as much money.

    Also, funny how the guy was skeptical about buying a used game until they demoed it for him.

    The whole thing with Zelda seems to fall into the “so bad it's good/hilarious” category. If it were possible to laugh and groan at the exact same time, this would make you do that.

  • zenithl

    I love how Spoony's laughter fades in 2:00~2:06. I think I just witnessed a literal ROFL.

  • ThomasMink

    Good God, I didn't think anyone trying to be 'hip' could be whiter than Vanilla Ice back in the early 90s.. but Zelda here puts up some pretty mean competition. Fo' real, dawg.

  • RdMarquis

    I think Zelda was the first person on a computer screen I've ever screamed at. I can only hope she was contractually roped into talking like that.

  • ApatheticOne (the original)

    I would have got up and walked out of the room if they tried to show me THIS as a training video.

    This is further proof that the losers that work at used game stores know nothing about what they're trying to sale! Down with Gamestop, down with used game stores!

  • Kevin_Holsinger

    Good morning, Spoony and fellow Spooners.

    I've only seen up to the 5:26 mark so far and…

    1. I'm already requesting that Spoony do more of these.
    2. I live in mortal fear that someone is going to say, “Boom goes the dynamite.”

  • mikkolaurinen

    Oh dear lord that was sad. lol After seeing that, i'd probably heavily consider sending in my two week notice on the spot. XD Loved hearing the Spoonster laughing his ass off at the absurd wiggerism.

  • Kevin_Holsinger

    And now that I've finished the video…

    1. Why did the one guy have a microphone when nobody else did?
    2. You can tell how old this video is by its distinct lack of “pwnage” and “lol-ing”.

  • MrZer0

    uh, this was painful. And I empathize with the MVP thing, B&N run the same membership scam but I feel guilty most of the times I bring it up

  • TheAvernite

    Heh. When I worked at JCPenney, I got to see the last breath of a great training video before it got changed for “politically correct” reasons: the safety portion of the video had this guy dressed like The Crocodile Hunter and he's showing us what not to do at your store, for example, don't leave bare clothes bars on the sales floor. People might walk into them. *cue the Crocodile Hunter walking into the rack* “Crickey! That almost stabbed me in the 'eart!” God. Damn. I was on the floor laughing.

  • http://twitter.com/PurePareidolia Daniel Armstrong

    How does that woman keep talking with a straight face?
    I could not recite those lines without bursting out laughing.
    In fact, that's actually really impressive, in a retarded kind of way.

    I love how everybody had this thinly veiled shocked “what is wrong with this woman?” look whenever she interviewed them.

  • andreas9000

    “Bojaaaaah!” Haha, I laughed my ass off xD

  • AtlasRedux

    Me too, and so did Spoony himself apparantly, that was just … just …. aaaahahhahhaha

  • deepshock

    This is the REAL Legend of Zelda. Pretty much everything out of her mouth makes me cringe in pain AND laugh my ass off at the same time. The rest of it is pretty ridiculous too. Thanks Spoony! :D

  • Jaebird88

    Wow… That woman scare me, straight up, yo.

  • http://celluloidandsilicon.blogspot.com/ Avenging_Mike

    Ugh. This video hurt me in the very soul. The idea that this would be even close to an effective training tool is laughable (as evidenced by even Spoony busting a gut SEVERAL times during his commentary). Man, this is way worse than the training videos we had at my first job, and one of those had a pair of guys looking at a skin mag and showing it to a female coworker.

  • qwrtyp

    Zelda? Zelda?!
    At least they know it's a woman's name.

    Good Riffing, Spoony. Especially considering that unlike MST3K, Rifftrax and Cinematic Titanic you do it all on your own.

  • Poipoi

    Zelda's rapping stank so bad, she had to use airfresher to get the smell out.

    That or she raps while doing number 2… either idea is disturbing.

  • Unrelented

    This has to be the best worst training video I've ever seen.

  • AggsOfSpades

    I like to think that on the day of the shoot Zelda just started talking like that and no one stopped her. I mean, when you're recording that you know how bad it is. The director said “act cool” and she took it way too far and the crew just let her run with it.

    • Poipoi

      One might notice the people standing next to her were trying not to laugh. And once someone off camera did.

    Sweet fancy Moses…. is this real life?

  • JALAPENOWAYNE

    Zelda needs her own TV show, couldn't be any more racist than anything by Tyler Perry. I mean god she's white, so white my head almost exploded. She makes Clay Aiken look like Malcolm X. Places like Gamestop do pester their customers with membership cards, accessories and used games(if I wanted it used I'd go to a flea market). I'm glad to see the shrink wrap removal on new games also bothers others and not just me.

    That was hilarious.. and very very painful. A mixture of pleasure and pain if you will. No one over 20 should EVER speak like that, and the under 20's that do should be smacked across the head until they stop.

    This entire video made me remember my job at gamestop, the whole selling thing made me cringe, and the only saving grace was making fun of the whole thing..

    We never used to have this kind of shit in the UK, but now everytime i go into a chain game store… it's fucking depressing how happy and helpful everyone is. Makes me want to punch everyone, and they have no knowledge at all, which makes sense as they're employed for customer service before actual gaming knowledge.

    I'd rather shop where the employee has passion, and therefore opinions on the product they're selling. Because I want to be told if the game i'm buying is shit.

    Depressing :(

  • andheresthej

    Wow I thought I had to sit through some bad training vids. Plus I FUCKING HATE GAMECRAZY! I've been screwed by them countless times, seriously! For one they had an employee that was stealing peoples 5 bucks down on preorders and I was one of the unlucky ones he did it too! He put the money in as 5 dollar trade-in credit and pocketed the cash. The game I pre-ordered was like 3 days late so I tried to get my money back and because of that asshole it wasn't that simple. I had to explain I never traded games to any GameCrazy and they realized what happened. It took me 3 days to actually talk to their manager and 2 more days to convince me to get my money back. NEVER AGAIN!

  • ladyspookington

    I choose to believe that Zelda talks that way in her everyday life.

  • Bells12

    Spoony…I love you.
    This video reminded me what it was like to work in retail. Discount cards that make the customer pay are absolute bullshit and it doesn't matter how nice you are, people will still refuse because it costs money.
    Anyway, hilarious video, keep up the great work.

  • Nephilim1977

    Lol :D My god that's wrong on so many levels :D

    I should show this to the training instructor at my job. He'll probably fall off of his chair laughing :D

    I have to give them credit for trying something different than the usual boring sales video, and I'd actually hire Bobby Pane to do commentary but DEAR GOD, EVERY TIME ZELDA OPENS HER MOUTH I FELT PHYSICAL PAIN! It makes Snoop Dogg want to kill himself just so he can roll over in his grave!

    4 years, tens of thousands of dollars in student loans, and a communications degree later and all Zelda got was a job making wigger talk for the next generation of underpaid, unmotivated Gamecrazy employees.

    Colin Mochrie rapping on Who's Line is it Anyway sounded more natural than Zelda.

  • Salenstormwing

    Wow, I have to admit that Zelda's performance in this video was just overly painful. The video wouldn't have been NEARLY as painful without Zelda being fly and dope, yo' fo-zizzle!

    I hate to say this, but I think I'd rather hear Spoony talk about wrestling. I'm pretty sure the rap at the very end causes more brain cell damage than watching a whole episode of TNA.

    So that's what happened to Christian Slater.

  • SubTonic

    LMFAO, that was actually one of the funniest videos you've done yet, Spoony. I had to stop eating my tacos every time Zelda came up or run the risk of shooting fiery sauce out my nose. Fuck, I'm crying from laughter!

    Hahaha! Zelda should have her own sitcom, that would have generated some acward moments ^^

    This one was hilarious Spoony! :D

    I hate to watch people making asses of themselves, and I couldn't watch 3 minutes of this.

  • kenori

    What I wanna know is how many takes did she take to get it right.

    And I wonder if the director gave her like a line reading or something.

    “You know hon, its good and all, but can you make it a little more black?”

  • kenori

    Makes you wonder how many times she had to do it before she got it right.

    Do you think the director gave her some pointers?

    “Its really good, but can you make it blacker?”

  • necrosmash

    I actually can't remember the last time I cringed so much in such a short space of time… I feel like I need to listen to Immortal Technique for a while just to wash the white off of me.

    Even when I'm actively trying a wigger-offensive persona as a joke.. I–I can't even come close to Zelda. She's the stuff of god tiers. Remembering every single one of those idioms AND using them in the most inappropriately hilarious context possible? Dude… She deserves a medal.

    What in Gods name did I just watch? One good thing about digital distribution is it probably put places like this out of business.

    That was truly painful to watch, except for Spoony's comments.

    Well it's not necessarily a good thing that Gamestop is going to be the ONLY distributor in this country before too long.

    I wish I worked at one of these places. I've never heard of GameCrazy, so it probably got bought out by GameStop. There was this one corner in brooklyn with 2 GameStops, and the mall there had 3 GameStops, with two across from each other. Worse yet, GameStop stopped carrying PS1 games. :(

  • Duffman180

    They usually have them inside Hollywood Video's from what I've seen.

  • spacepope

    i had a few friends that worked at a local gamecrazy, sadly it closed down but it was great while it lasted, being able to go into a game store where you know every employee personally was like a nerd's paradise. If only i worked next door it could have been like Clerks

  • Nihilus

    well, no. She may have been using black terms, but she was whiter than Vanilla Ice doing a rap version duet of “I've had the time of my life” with John Cena in a snow storm…

    btw, she used “Crunk” incorrectly… When lil' John started saying “Get crunk”, he just combined 'crazy' and 'drunk'. White people thought it meant cool and that stuck in pop culture. We, white poeple, tend to be morons…

    My Hollywood Video has a Game crazy and they know nothing about anything related to what I want. I literally said “I don't have a Ps3, only a 360.” and so what do they recommend? Two games. What were they? Red Steel and God of War 3 for a pre-order. Fucking stupid.

    Ok, this is the first time since Bennet the Sage reading My Immortal that I have had to repeatedly pause a video and take breaks, simply to compose myself and start breathing again.

    wht the hell man, that guy offered the soccer mom the ps2 when she clearly said that he had more than 1 friend, the GC would have been the perfect console for him. god what a retard, that and she wouldn't have had to spend money on all that extra shit.

  • quadraxis14

    Keith was like a shitty Jack Nicholson impression… Zelda was like a bad acid trip.

    I did go to a Game Crazy once, they had Bujingai: The Forsaken City for the PS2, which I was surprised at since the game is rather obscure (I ended up picking it up, fun game). Otherwise, their selection was shit and in the end the only place to get video games I can consistently trust to have what I'm looking for is Amazon.

  • http://www.gamespot.com/users/cornbredx CornBRED-X

    That was hilarious. If i had had to watch this on my first day working at a job like that I'd have been fired day one for making fun of the video.
    I suspect it was meant to be funny, and I didnt find it offensive at all, but It was so bad it was funny. spoony's commentary just made it even funnier. Kind of reminds me of some of the HR type videos they've shown on “the office”. I've had alot of jobs and dont recall ever seeing an HR video this insane haha
    Kinda curious what dumpster you found this video in =P
    Seriously, where would you find something like this?

  • thedeviot

    I've spent years working retail for a number of employers. All jobs (Even non retail) have these insipid training videos.
    But I have to say this is by far the worst one I've ever seen. And I've even seen the infamous Vista training video that parodies Bruce Springstien Microsoft made for internal use.(Thank you Jeff Green!)

    It's no wonder GC went under. They had enough smarts to apply typical selling techniques, but the training video here is a complete insult. It goes to show what they must have thought of their employees “Hey everyone we hire must be a late 90's fan of pseudo Hip Hop. multiplied by The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, then divided by Carlton Banks”.
    The enviornment there must have been pretty bad.

    Anyway I enjoyed the Riff Traxx of this one. Keep the laughs coming man.

  • memph

    This is truly AWEFULL!!! but in a good way.

    I don't even think Spoony needed to riff this one, the lines Zelda are saying are enough comedy gold on their own. The Duke Nukem Forever comment was gold dude, I mean you can preorder a game that will never exist. You may have well gone outside the Game Crazy and gave $5.00 to the Spoony Bum in the alley, just as good a waste of cash.

  • levantos

    I'm really speechless, that is just….so epic….

    For some reason I get the feeling that this video came to be because somebody tried to prove the “Infinite Monkey Theorem,” but instead of getting Shakespeare they got this.

  • scherrge

    The “Boo-Yah” laugh of Spoony's was probably the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. Whenever he cracks up it's madly infective. Same thing when he loses it in the “Spooning With Spoony Ep. 2″ commentary. Hi-fucking-larious.

  • http://twitter.com/PeterSkerritt Peter Skerritt

    After a long day, this video made my night, dawg.

    Having worked for both Game Crazy and GameStop in the past, I can say that upper management actually believes that these videos improve sales– but they don't. Nobody follows all of these steps, and aggressive sales tactics are bullshit. We dealt with useless upsells before Game Crazy and GameStop; FuncoLand, for example, demanded that employees push cleaning kits and GI subs. The cleaning kits were a crock, too… $15 for a Funco CD cleaner or $5 for CD cloths? Hmmmm.

    Spoony's commentary made this video even better.

  • http://shadoestar.tumblr.com/ JeffGilbert

    I was really hoping that Zelda would be shot in a drive-by at the end.

  • hwalsh

    This is just bad.

    I… Wow.

    Zelda is… No… She doesn't have enough… No… She isn't allowed to use street slang… No… NO… I have more right to use street slang than she does…

    Did I mention that I am a 29 year old Jewish college professor who teaches computer game design?

    If I have more right and street cred than someone that is saying something.

    This is terrible. TERRIBLE. Never do this to me again Spoony… NEVER AGAIN!

  • Forky_one

    As a black man, I think you know what I can say about Ms. Zelda. I wish that black guy could have slapped her sensless but I bet they kept him in another room, lol. Anyway, her performance was a straight up minstrel show in the middle of corporate propaganda, lol. It sucks because I don't talk like that at all, so it gets me in a way. By the way, Tara reid could not be Gail because she would have to act like a real person or just even act, lol. Anyway, Spoony, how did you get this tape?? Don't tell me you worked at Game Crazy, lol

  • dennett316

    Zelda was fricken' awesome, assuming I'm reading it properly and they're actually trying for irony that is. If this is actually played straight and they're attempting to relate to the youth of the day…then it's a major fail.
    No, they can't be, not with the inclusion of the rap at the end….would a company really be so insipidly stupid? Yes, but I'm sure it's still an attempt at comedy.

  • They Call Me The Fizz

    Ugh… Zelda just made Fred Durst look a talented musician

    Spoony needs to guest on an official Rifftrax someday

  • ViolentDiplomat

    LOL look at the Gail around the 7:05 mark, you could see her cringing as soon as as Zelda finishes her “off the heezy” line.

  • arson55

    Does everyone actually have a problem with people trying to push things while they're at Game Stop? I don't. Virtually every time I go in, I go in, get the games I want, and leave. That's it. The employees don't bother me or try and push anything on me. I think I've been asked to pre-order a game a grand total of two times.

    The one time I went into Play and Trade, I found them far more obnoxious as they tried to do everything they could to emphasize their store's superiority.

    Game Crazy I've never even heard of. And if this video is any indication I'm glad I haven't.

  • StealthKnight

    3:32- You should ask your son what he would like. Ask him about his favorite genre's, games, etc. Talk to your kid.

    There are 4 Gamestop stores in my area that I've been to (all within a mile of each other, and 2 actually in the same mall). One of them (the one that used to be Funcoland) is exactly as you describe; the other 3 are just like you hear the horror stories about. I get the feeling that the good shops are the exceptions, not the rule.

  • Eniliad

    I thought he'd suggest the Gamecube as well, if he truly had the customer's interest in mind. Of course, he doesn't; he has the company's profit in mind.

    Oh my lord lol. Zelda Scott is ridiculous. I think she hit every little hip hop culture stereotype line there was at that time. I mean did she have black people coach her for her performance? That's just crazy. I don't even get the intention. Is it supposed to be funny? An if so why does a employee training video need to be funny?

    Oh well at least we did get some laughs out of it for all the wrong reasons.

  • Anonymous

    Oh man this video is gold. So let me get this straight that one guy just possibly sold that poor woman a second Playstation 2? And Tara was it, just reserved Final Fantasy just Final Fantasy maybe XI, maybe she just re-bought Cristal Chronicles, maybe she bought the original NES one, or maybe its some never ending subscription to the series from now till her deathbed? Who knows, I sure don’t. What I do know is that Zelda person had me in stitches, never have I seen such a performance and not be a parody in and of itself.

  • Renaissance_nerd

    Every game store exploits uninformed customers. Don't believe me? go to any gamestop on xmas and just watch.

    I believe you. I went into a gamestop last week, and the manager was there, and he was trying to sales pitch me into getting a new Madden game or something. I just laughed at him, because he knew I wasn't into sports games, and he knew that I knew that he knew that, but he tried it anyway.

  • nash076

    The problem with the business model at places like this (and Best Buy, and Office Max, etc, etc) is that they make almost no money off of selling the items themselves. All their profit comes from pushing services, warranties, special memberships, all that crap. It's a house of cards, really . . . when your business model only works when you're selling intangibles and useless things, people aren't going to want to do business with you.

    I hate that Zelda women she needs to lay off the slag because she can't use it and she looks fucking retarded when she talks like that.

    But still overall Spooney's commentary was hilarious. Thanks for making his video tolerable for me to watch.

    “homeslice”
    “Crunk”
    “Hizzzzouse”

    I can't believe Spooney didn't make a comment about G-Unit because that's own by 50 cent.

I have seen some sappy, cheaply made training or introduction videos, but they were more along the lines of the one in the movie Waiting (still love that movie, trust me, they hit the nail on the head with what goes down in back while you innocently sit out front). But how can you sit through this video, walk out to the floor, and actually proceed with this job?

    Hm. I wonder if that guy checked the copyrights on his catchphrase of choice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Buffer

    Trademark
    Buffer began using the phrase “Let's get ready to rumble!” in the early 1980s. By 1992, he acquired a federal trademark for the phrase. Buffer uses his famous phrase in various licensing deals including the platinum selling album Jock Jams by Tommy Boy Records, the video games Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2 for the PlayStation 2, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast and Game Boy Advance and Greatest Heavyweights of the Ring for the Sega Genesis and numerous other products.[8] In addition, he has used variations of the phrase in advertisements, including the popular commercial for Mega Millions in which he says “Let's get ready to Win Big!” and the Kraft Cheese commercial in which he says “Let's get ready to Crumble! “.
    As of 2009, Buffer had earned over $400 million from licensing on the trademark.[9]

    That Zelda is real 'gangsta'. I bet the employees watching this can't even keep their attention on the video after hearing her jive talk.

    I think we've just found someone whiter than Vanilla Ice and Seamus put in a blender with whitewash.

  • Zalgoglaz

    Holy crap, even Microsoft Sam is more gangster than Zelda. Who honestly wrote that script and then handed it to her thinking “Yeah, she's hip enough the pull off this jive talk!”

    Honestly though shes the most entertaining segment of the video as everything else in this training video is so horribly staged and fake I'm surprised that the customers weren't made of cardboard.

    And Spoony rocks as always.

    The first salesman sold her the WORST choice. He blatently lied to her in telling her the PS2 went up to 4 players. Most PS2 games didn't even go up to four players by default, and the ones that did needed a freaking multitap. The system didn't even have 4 controller ports. Based on what she said the Xbox or Gamecube would've been better choices, they actually were four player systems! God, I hate national chain game stores even more now.

  • ZeGermanWhore

    I find it funny that they talk about helping the customers while setting up each sales pitch like it's the intro screen to Mortal Combat or something…although I guess both involve ripping someone's spine out on some level.

    I was in a store like GC once and I had a question about a system. The person obviously didn't know how to respond and instead of saying that blatantly lied to me and said that it couldn't be done. I ended up figuring it out on my own but man was I pissed. Its not like they make a commission on small time shit anyway. Team games like racing games would have been better on the X box if there were 4 players playing. If it was casual play, like SSB then Gamecube.

  • ScourgeXLVII

    I agree. If I were them, I would have given them tips on how to handle more experienced gamers. Telling the employees stuff like back off with questions, and not try to add on to the sale. That’s what gives the customers a bad impression, and the gamecrazy people must know that. Even if you have about 50% inexperienced gamers, which, I don’t really know statistics on that, but, I’d guess that would be about right, or even over, though considering that a fair amount of the buyers are parents buying stuff for their kids, I’d say it’s around right, you can’t expect to make much off the add ons, in the long run, as almost anyone is bound to buy memory cards, and an extra controller or two, and all they get money off is the useless accessories, like remotes and such. Paired against the experienced gamers, many of whom won’t take this, and will go to gamestop, or some other store. But then again, these are the same people who thought Zelda Scott was a good idea.

      As Byron points out, it needs a multitap to do this. Thing is, most games on the PS2 don’t utilize a multitap–so selling one to her was the equivalent of selling her a jet complete with someone to turn the propellor.

    The degree of epicness in Zelda Scotts jawdropping performance must be rightfully iconized on T-shirts and baby mugs for aspiring new wiggers.

    Scratch reading rest if you like trained monkeys to read ramblings by people you dont know; — this is so absurdely insane that my inital reaction to Gamecrazy being geniuses for making a functioning parody of a training video is flipped entirely, wondering at the end that this might not have been intentional. Adding the 4port – PS2 breaks the illusion of actual compentence (fact checking being bare minimum standard, even a freshly minted 10yr old will tell you that 4port PS2s are more rare, if not mythical, than 13year old blonde girls giving poor reviews to the Twilight series. If they even exist! Scratch that, dont even think I know a blonde girl reviewing anything posted at a nerd page at any age to make such a hilarious masterpiece intentionally. Oh… Just came up with an example raping my blonde-statement already. Damn you, Angry Joe! Leave the blondes to their domain of vapid godliness!

      No no, you don’t get it.
      He’s selling multiplayer during the accessory phase of the selling, meaning he’s talking multitap. You know and I know most games don’t use multitap because most are designed for at most 2 players.
      The point is, the salesman knows it too–but the mother doesn’t. Easiest way to get rid of a device that ain’t selling: foist it onto the total noob that walks through the door.

      The salesman DOES know his systems, most likely, and he most likely does know that the multitap doesn’t work for most games. Because so few game developers designed for the device, if the GameCrazy has one, it’s probably been sitting around for quite a while. What better person to foist such a rarely-used peripheral on than a parent who knows nothing about game consoles?

    Dude, Spoony, I fucking swear: your worst performance in total (in all your videos I’ve seen so far) is way better than her best performance any time! She’s upset me so much, I just had interrupt my personal “Spoony video marathon” to say something (actually, 2 things… see below) about this one.

    Ah, bite my ass Spoony, I love Crystal Chronicles. Haha.
    But great video, as usual. I still can’t believe this video was an actual training video. Maybe GameCrazy went under due to Zelda’s racism causing mass sueing. Ah, but we can dream.

    Yea, in there they talk about preorders, thats a freaking joke. I
    preordered MGS3 Subsistence for the Redbox “expensive as heck” edition
    and they gave me the regular game. Screw this company, im glad they are
    dead, and this video proves it.

    I played Chrystal Chronicles. While it wasnt an FF game, it was still a good game.

    “That’s right mam you too can have a copy of Duke Nukem Forever in your hand on release date.” Man that is a sad joke in retrospect. Still a great riff Spoony. This never gets old no matter how many times you see it.

    Oh I know how easy it is to exploit FF fandom! The pudgy Kitase might have traded talent for CG (like his idol, George Lucas) and is now dominated by Emperor Bedhead XIII, but I still  retain hope that Nomura, Tabata, and Ito will relegate Big T back to cutscene direction and concept design and let Kitase recuperate because I think he lost his mind when he sold FFXIII-2 to some REALLY AWFUL PRADA shots!

    Why did the salesman blatantly lie to the costumer when he said the PS2 could have up to four players? Uh, no. It can’t. There may have been an accessory to do that (i dunno for sure), but it definitely couldn’t do that out of the box. Boy, that lady’s kid is gonna be sorely disappointed when he finds he can’t play it with his friends.
