I found this video on Japan's Nico Nico Douga video site a few days back and saved it. I'm not sure why. And I've watched it a few times and laughed hard, for reasons unknown to me. It's just some guy laying down commentary on a session of world 1-1 of Super Mario Bros played on high-speed. It shouldn't be that funny, right? Maybe it won't be to you. If not, I'm sorry.
Have you done this before? Played the game sped up? It's insanely hard. The last time I did this, I wasn't as calm as this guy.

I guess you and I have similar senses of humor, as I chuckled every time he went "yaagh!" when a cliff or enemy popped up right in front of him. I know I'd be doing the exact same thing.
I can't say for sure, but there's another video of a Japanese guy narrating a normal-speed SMB1 vid while supposedly drunk. This video might come from that or maybe it's part of an epic trilogy.
also.. i was just listening to love bomb off of NERD's latest and it surprisingly went very well as an added soundtrack to the crazy japanese i can't understand. :]
This is funny, but there's a vid of a bunch of guys, after they've activated a 1-up, trying to get 8 red coins and a Star on Super Mario 64 without getting the 1-up. Their reactions are epic in hilarity.
He's a real champ, toughing it out through 1-2 without skipping over half of it via ceiling. I salute you, Some Japanese Guy with a Few Minutes to Kill.
If an American did this, it would sound like a Let's Play video. There's something about dudes with accents talking really fast that makes it golden. Sorta like a certain review series.
ROFL. Okay, this seriously made me laugh. The guy is hilarious. XD Favorite part was "bakayaro" and him crying about missing the flower, hahahaha. Man.

Also, that shit looks hard.
Humor found.
Mr. North, yes, this is indeed funny, and goddam funny at that.
"Jahmp, Jahmp, JAHMP!!!!"
Oh my god, that's funny!!!
I don't know much Japanese, but I know he kept saying "wait/wait up" and "dumbass". Something along those lines.
thank you for sharing it.

His narration was probably more entertaining than the video itself.
