The Japanese think that watching Mega Man die over and over is funny. And so do I. Of course, the whole experience is heightened when Mega Man is a...real man, decked out in costume.
Mock Man, from Japan's Nico Nico Douga, is hard to watch with the comments on. That's because it's hilarious, and no one can stop type-laughing. Somehow, popping out of bed dressed in a blue motorcycle helmet and blue tights and then jumping into danger is funny everytime. And by danger, I mean a fence. Or the turnstiles of the subway. Somehow wearing underwear outside of your tights makes your home town -- in this case Kyoto -- a huge level to pass. And just like I suck at the Mega Man games, Mock Man sucks at his own game.
But what do you do when life gets you down? You go to your local bar and down an E Tank. The upbeat, energized Mock Man is even more hilarious.
Watch the full video after the jump.

Go ahead, admit it... Don't be shy, now.
Videos, such as these, are somewhat funny, they just tend to drag on for way too long...
Also, the man who offered the E Tank, thumbs up back at him.
So he's different from the regular Mega Man how?
Can someone explain to me "Air Man Will Not Die?" Is it a populkar song in Japan, or just an internet phenomenon? Ad really, Air Man? That was always the first level I played, he's not that bad.
Here's the video.
It's become quite the meme.
That video, not so much.
Dale, what are you up to?
