The above image is what GameStop is offering the winner of its Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournament. As you can see, it is the worst thing in the world. It doesn't even have anything to do with Brawl, save for the vague and tenuous hint that the golden man in his underwear might possibly be about to engage in combat of some sort. That, or he's about to crap his unnecessarily tight shorts because he's realized he's a really, really bad trophy. Also, why does he look like Jimmy Osmond!?
Without hyperbole I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this is the single worst thing I have ever seen in my entire life and that it is worse than anything Chris Benoit ever did. Somehow though, GameStop is not only expecting people to desire this lump of rubbish, but to also be proud of possessing it and display it in public as a testament to becoming the "local legend of wreckage."
I expect Jonathan Holmes to bring this monstrosity to the Destructoid camp anon. Then we can burn the thing to cinders.

Abominable.
Also "bring this monstrosity to the Destructoid camp anon" means what?
I will win this, and I will send it to Destructoid HQ.
Side note. glad I never joined that back in high school. bunch of guys in spandex grabbing one another is not for me.
So uh yeah. Nintendo's a bunch of cheap fucks too.
I know this, because people I know who work at Gamestop know this.
Jim, you are a grade A word smith my friend. I believe this quote may stand the test of time and make it to the Dtoid Quote Hall of Fame.
That Chris Benoit comment is truly in bad taste. Going insane and murdering his wife and kid and then committing suicide really isn't funny.
It's a stupid wrestling trophy for Junior High wrestlers hilariously misappropriated for a SSBB competition, probably because GS got a discount on an overstocked item.
If it's the worst thing you ever experience, be grateful.
Learn to read comments.
And the Chris Benoit comment was funny.
Not that I'd know what that looks like ;-)
Wel, my friends who work for the President of the Universe sez that Gamestops decided to purposely buy these trophies cuz they wanted people to feel gheyy for winnin somethinz.
P.S.: You've got problems if you think murdering your own child is a joke. Would you like some child rape limericks too?
Worst trophy gets worst rendition of internet meme.
PS, google "Jocks".

Perfect for any and all Smash bros. tournament attendees.
And yes, I would like child murder jokes, because as long as it's someone elses child, it's always funny.

i think its perfectly sized
though not publically offensive at first glance, only the truly hardcore know about... the trick.
Smash already has close to a hundred, if not more trophies already in it. Ninendo has no excuse.
Hell, i would've settled for an "Ooccoo" trophy

But I was going for "publically offensive."
