Our own Joe Burling was a little distressed by this commercial for the upcoming Microsoft karaoke game Lips, but I had quite the opposite reaction -- I found it pretty hilarious, in that way that utterly ridiculous things sometimes are. The part on the bus is what really got me. Sure, it might be a pair of lips with feet and therefore an abomination on God's green earth, but it seems so ... happy!
 
I'm stoked for this game, as I love any excuse to get drunk and wail into a microphone (actually, drunk is not even necessary -- I love to sing). Pair me with with Chad Concelmo for a duet, and there's nothing more I can ask for in life.

It was pretty funny, but I don't see me buying the game anytime soon.

pretty hilarious. Yeah, the bus scene is a bunch of seconds long but it causes long hours of laughs and happiness :P

Best commercial for Karaoke game??? Let's see what Sony has for SingStar.

Joe was distressed by this? Funny - by now he should be used to lips that have been around the block...

If it had been any other song I'd have found it creepy, but I love me some Take On Me.

It was ok, nothing stood out as being great to me.
The thing I thought was funny is when you hear the kid singing along as it's pretty weak, I lol'd

It's almost creepy, but because it's singing "Take On Me," it immediately crosses into awesomeness.

@ MisterMingo:

That is the greatest thing ever.

I thought it was hilarious - especially since it was singing "Take On Me." More music games need that song.

I was hoping a car would run over it on the highway. Shame!

Ok..creepy! All I can think about now is parasitic lips that latch onto people and make them sing karaoke mercilessly.

Eugh.
