joystiq.com — Rare's latest title, Viva Pinata, looks to have reopened the now-infamous -- and somewhat tiresome -- crab joke from Sony's E3 2006 press conference. A GameSpot forum member stumbled upon this during his game time and took a picture for everyone's amusement.

I agree. It HAS been abused, but it's still funny. A lil'. Kaz Hirai got [in]famous for it, so it will forever be around.If the ducks are still hanging around, then the crabs with weak point for massive damage can, too.

please digg my comment for massive damage ::clears throat::several people have already made sony e3 2006 remixes on youtube... some of them are really funny.other sony e3 2006 jokes include:- "genji 2 features such innovations as uhhhhh.... real time weapon changes!" meanwhile, the character on the screen switches to a katana ooooooohhh!- "genji 2 is an action game based on famous battles in japanese history which took actually took place." emphasis on the grammatical error "which took actually took place"- (the genji to guy clearing his throat)- "its ridge racer, riiiiidddddgeee racer!"- "now that's what i call a duck!"- "five hundred ninety-nine us dollars!"- some british guy raises the six-axis controller and says "now watch it fly" implying that the airplane will move up or down when you raise the controller, however it looks like he is pretending the controller is floating.

Me too (with the risk of getting Dugg down...) I must admit... I watched the E3 conference on GameSpot last year and that totally flew over my head (maybe because the Sony conference was so freakin' boring... and it felt like it was put together at the last minute). But I actually found it kinda funny when the dude was having trouble finding the giant crab boss... It was a pretty ridiculous game as there were all these crabs around him that weren't moving or attacking him. And he states at the end that the enemies were made to die after one blow because it was just a demo, which made the whole demo pointless...

lol, that was a funny video... loved it when this guy says how "the graphics on it are craaaazzzzy" and then cuts to the rhino chowing down some grass...And also when Ken asks "so what does this mean?" then cuts to "Riiiiiiidge Racerrrrrrr!!!"
