Okay whats the story behind these guys and does anyone got a link to the original picture that spawned all of these parodies and so many more?

Bored pic = E3 2003 Nintendo conference/CONNECTIVITY/Pac-Man vs.

Excited pic = posed for E3 2004 Nintendo conference/HOLY SHIT ZELDA

Anime stuff = guy who was a fan and drew them as anime characters or something.

 

[olimario]

I hate all of that anime stuff. Way to make something funny into something stupid.

 

[Rocket Punch]

Interesting display of differences in culture relative to what is funny.

 

[elostyle]

Wasn' Zelda e3 2005?

Also, the first one is real while the second one is staged.

The playable demo was E3 2005.

E3 2004 was the suprise ''Before you leave, I'd like you to step inside one more world for Nintendo GameCube" trailer.

There's shitloads of those Japanese fan-made pictures of IGN guys. Many of them were 'western kind of funny' too. I remember one where they drive in a van and then crash or something like that.

 

[AniHawk]

Also, the first one is real while the second one is staged.

Yes. That's another word for posed.

 

[LakeEarth]

I think posed is a better word then staged. Look at Matt in the background. Now THATS a pose :lol

I can't look at it without thinking "best ...deathscene... ever!"

 

[Larry Bird]

Why was it posed?

 

[Firest0rm]

Why was it posed?

To tease Nintendo fans. They posted it on the forums right before the conference. They knew something was coming.

 

[Mihail]

Ops -- I did not see you had written "posed," which is exactly what they did.

Where are these Japanese fan-made pics that are the "western kind of funny?"

The 2003 E3 pic is still among the funniest video-game-related photos ever. The full-size version still makes me LOL. I was at that press conference, and that was how everyone in the audience felt afterward, definitely.

Yeah, I remember that awful feeling sitting in the room. The guy sitting next to me had this completely dead look in his eyes. :lol
