    Sorry, had to try.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Haha, I love the ending.

    "Oh, the humani'wii'. (Apologies...I'm so'wii'. (No, 'wii'lly. (I can't stop, send help! Hurr'wii'!)))"
  • po43292, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11wii-diculous
  • drlha, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Forgive me but before the "Wii" I had never heard anyone using "Wee" as a euphamism for penis, so why all of a sudden are people using it now? The closest I've heard is in the UK "wee" is used by little kids to mean urine. Is that what you're getting at, you want to give some chick a golden shower?

  • eplawless, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6hiney is funny..............NOT...

  • escalated, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I deliver pizza, and the day people started having me deliver pizza to the back of meijer stores, and outside best buys, i decided they were all retarded.

    therefore i dubbed the people waiting for ps3, ps three-tards, and the wii waiters, well...wii-tards..

    ps: learn how to tip...bastards.
  • ThinkBox, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6They forgot one!

    "Wow wow Wii waaa!" - Borat
  • diktator279, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I sent some of the wiitards from walmart to Kohl's, said they didn't have a line... Kohl's doesnt sell wiis.
  • Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6It's true though. The name is so unique and simple that everyone knows it.
    It's catchy, different, and easy to remember. The puns are just to be expected.

    Well played, Nintendo. Well played.
  • Cruelapollo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"In other news, girls can only Wii while sitting down. Men have the option of either standing or sitting while Wii-ing, however, men who sit down will have the difficulty automatically set to 'very easy'."
  • DuxDucis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Oh man, this is going to get old so fast...

    just like every other word-play
  • marshman222, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Aw come on, why cant Wii be friends?!
  • bmobile, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4drlha: it's short for "wee wee" which actually DOES mean "penis"
  • b3mus3d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Your suit is black.... no-ot!
  • t0ken, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you walked into a store and stole one, you'd be taking a Wii...
  • gumby05, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wiisus Christ
  • calebcharles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Give the marketing team that picked the ultra-generic-mouth-sound-for-a-toy a medal, please.
  • Chaosteil, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2wiilarious.
  • SlackerCS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't get it.
  • YourTechSupport, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1In the movie Half-Baked, Comedy Central's own John Stewart had a bit where he was an 'enhancement' smoker. And he would go 'Have you ever ________ed... on Weeeed?"
    .... yeah, not really funny in this context. I'd call that TBS hotline but damn if that never posted the number.
  • jsumner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Try working at a Circuit City... went in for a 7am meeting and got badgered by the losers. I have to say the "wii-tards" were much more tame than the "ps three-tards."
  • Push2Flush, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I saw a very cringe add on I think the aim homepage, it said "get your Link on, sweet wii-sus!", ugh.
  • styromaniac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wilmer Valderrama: Ooooh Wiiii!
  • Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Even my Mom cracked a Wii joke last night when she said "Are Wii having fun?"... You know your marketing strategy is working when.
  • Rayor, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I am sofa king wii tod ed.

  • wookiekiller, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Wii will, Wii will rock you.
  • MikeUSNAVY, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1A lot of these came from 4chan.org initially.

    They missed one of the best...

    "Ever seen the back of $20 bill? Ever seen the back of a $20 bill on WII?"
  • number8888, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Some of these are just lame. Others are just pathetic.

  • styromaniac, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1World War Wii
  • Soniti, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1It's no fun to play with your Wii by yourself... You have to have at least one other person...

    But if you're really edgy... You'll play with your Wii with 2...or even..3 others! :O

    How risque!
