Make a live action Gargyles movie

****, this should have been the cast of the movie! ;)

hahahha... i agree this should've been the cast.. LOL

Posted by: JDMSE3P on August 10, 2009 at 14:51:59

Cobra Commander should've looked like that in the movie.

Posted by: AndyG on August 10, 2009 at 14:52:28

That was incredible.

boy i miss the 80s show sgt.slaguhter is the guest host of raw tonight can,t wait

That was awesome! I loved the Destro and Baroness section (Vinnie Jones nearly made me pee myself--and not out of fear this time) and the actual Sgt, Slaughter appearance.

And I wanna know how they managed to swipe my idea of Alan Tudyk as Shipwreck! What are they, monitoring my posts on SHH? That's too much of a coincidence! I used to think it was mere chance that Ray Park was cast as Snake-Eyes, but now I'm beginning to feel like I'm being spied on, Truman Show style.

Hmmm...come to think of it, Ed Norton being cast as Bruce Banner and Natalie Portman being cast as Luke & Leia's mother now seem suspect too. Here I thought I was just good at casting, but now it's getting weird.

A bunch of comedians can get Snake-Eyes' and Cobra Commander's look right and a $175million Hollywood movie screws it up...makes sense...

i agree with the posts...new casts for G.I Joe except the actors for snake eyes and storm shadow...C.C listens to three dog night...priceless

Posted by: fras on August 10, 2009 at 15:46:56

This is really funny. Perfect casting as well!

Man, Billy Crudup would have indeed made a good Zartan.

coolest thing ever lol

Posted by: Our Time Has Come on August 10, 2009 at 15:53:24

best video ever!

THIS is why unfortunately GIJoe is better than TF2 this summer

Posted by: Melvin on August 10, 2009 at 15:58:05

You're telling me Funny or Die got Sgt. Slaughter, but Paramount couldn't!?

Posted by: Crystal Ball on August 10, 2009 at 16:03:26

Best... GI Joe... Movie... EVER!

Posted by: Nexus Prime on August 10, 2009 at 16:16:21

Great video. Now this is G.I.Joe.

Posted by: Methos on August 10, 2009 at 16:40:12

Goddamn that Baroness was HOT

Posted by: Byrdman on August 10, 2009 at 16:50:12

What great production value. That's freaky funny

Posted by: COLE8.7 on August 10, 2009 at 17:29:59

I gotta say, even if there is never a decent G.I.Joe movie, this makes up for it...

Posted by: Daniel on August 10, 2009 at 17:38:24

It's called Rise of Cobra for a reason people, lets see if they create a different costume for CC, since he was barely starting out in this one.

Posted by: Jere: Master of the Universe on August 10, 2009 at 17:42:10

Well if the actual movie took itself this serious I think it'd be more enjoyable, because in the end GI Joe: Rise of Cobra is just a joke...

Posted by: Youngbloodhater on August 10, 2009 at 18:07:59

How does years of high-cost studio planning get a cast and look and feel of this subject so wrong, and a half-assed joke of a web film get it so right? This is whats wrong with hollywood.

Posted by: Spielbay on August 10, 2009 at 18:49:51

I can now rest peacfully, knowing that there's been one live action G.I. Joe item.

Too bad it could not be the movie, but this is awesome.

I;m sure the idiots that like Bonaventura's turd-fest will hate this, as it actually is good and can can tell more story in 3 minutes than 2 hours.

Posted by: Hannibal King on August 10, 2009 at 18:50:44

I thought Olivia Wilde was hot before, but then I saw her in tight leather and those glasses... And now she's even hotter.

Posted by: dannyb278 on August 10, 2009 at 19:08:42

wow. way better than the movie. i demand a refund!
