In yet another cloying, mawkish tribute to the N64 kid, we have yet another Christmas video of some pudgy, ugly little child making unbelievable banshee noises because he received a game console. Yes, meet the "Xbox 360 Kid," a child who sounds like he's getting one of Uncle Reg's "magic bum tickles" because he received an Xbox 360.
I'm fairly certain this kid's dad said "Scream real loud kid so I can put you on the Internet or you're dead," but it's still worth watching if you actively enjoy despising children and everything that they stand for. Since I am philosophically opposed to the little bastards in every way, this video is perfect.
Pefect, that is ... until Topher reminds me that this screeching creature is probably on Xbox Live by now .... shudder.

I hope kids these days don't know what the humping action really means. Whatever happened to sheltering them from the harshities world! grumble grumble

I guess I need to remind you that most of your fan base is probably not much older then this kid. I mean shit, read your comments section once in awhile.
Despite seeing a kid humping a box (likely the only thing he'll be humping for a while...even after grade school) it was kind of heartwarming seeing him hug his grandpa. I don't see that much anymore, even in my family.
BTw if i had a kid and reacted like this whichever console i bought for present the next day the console would be out of the house...this is not excitement
Notice how the dog only starts barking once the kid and his (gran?)dad start hugging. I think I can tell what happens a lot in that household and what doesn't based on that dog's reactions.

All the 360 reviews I've read for it so far say that it's basically the best game of it's type, and the PS3 reviews say that it's flawed, but still well worth getting. But yeah, I wish D-toid would hurry up and publish a review, as well.
It's amazing. You can literally witness when all the possible testosterone and smarts dries up and is replaced by nonsense and screaming.
Seriously though, what's with the f'ing screaming and humping of the box? Is that how we're supposed to keep our systems from crashing. I knew something was messed up when we had to blow on cartridges.

He's still waiting for that one...
so glad i'm leaving my 360 for a PS3. I won't have to worry about said kids screaming at the mic when someone kills them in something in a game.
i hope it was worth it
Anyways, the N64 kid was funnier than this.

Just saying.
It must've been a really fun xmas for your kid then :)
Ok. Cool. Glad you guys had that under control.

"A yearly fee just to play games after buying them already? Fuck, we aren't getting you this LIVE"
Merry Christmas Jim
Sorry for all the hate....
I see the level "Second Sun" clip. On the top right hand corner of the box.

I hate to hear the squeeling & barking in the house when it RROD's.
(( Oh Bi-ass! ))

Also, N64 kid can never be topped. Because bias.

At first I was like "But he can't be that old" but then I realized he's probably just a dwarf actor and this is some sort of viral ad...
I'm totally right on this one.
I cannot wait for the memes.
