Quantcast


There once was a man named Chuck... photo

This morning a Dtoid reader pointed out to us that while resplendent with amazing features, the site was missing an essential display of artistic ability -- the game related limerick. Here was his offering:

I'll tell you the story of shop-owner Nick,
Whose hardware department was very big.
During all penetrations
He called girls his "PlayStations"
Before putting inside them his Memorable Stick.

Well.....I get the gist. After all, the key to a good limerick is that is makes you laugh, right? It seemed to me that while game related limericks were good, it was even more in the spirit of things to involve our staff. Here is my contribution, to get us started:

There once was a boy named Rob
Who seemed to be a bit of a snob.
"Nintendo is gay,"
he often would say
and he caused all the fanboys to sob.
 
Bring em on, readers.

the pentameter to this one is awful but oh well:

If Dtoid was Brokeback then Ron would be a beggar
On Ventrilo he'd say sweet nothings to Gregor
"will you make love to me"
"colon parenthesis"
Bend over Joystick, I'll be Heath Ledger

There once was a Mii named Levar.
Who bottled his jizz in a jar.
To mod up his new Wii-sel,
He went biodiesel.
Fifteen gallons to power his car.

I've avoided this roach trap for years.
This crapwich confirms all my fears.
Still, I'll shitcan this Whopper.
To feed my 360 proper.
Sneak King is better than Gears.

One more...

Upon this day Jesus was born.
St. Nick left a PSP just this morn.
The games suck, but there's one consolation.
I don't need UMDs for masturbation.
This refurb is loaded with porn!

Aight, here are some I whipped up.

There once was a web site so cheesy
With a video that made me uneasy:
The guy liked his big screen,
And humped ladders with glee -
So viral the vid made me queasy.

There once was a man from Nintendo
Who crushed bears with his fists and his toes.
Though he'd eat you alive,
He'd rather you survive
And played with his Wii, sans innuendo.

A fanboy once exclaimed from his soapbox,
"OMG the [console name here] 'effin rox!!!1!"
With thoughts incomplete
Toward those who compete,
He'd say, "Oh yeah? Well I'm hung like an Ox."

Yeah, I know they're bad, but hey, they're limericks.

There once was a man named Ishaan
Who was always in vent with Tom Fronz
But when Tom goes to bed
Ishaan's forging ahead
up all night playing Rag in his long johns.

There once was a young man named Niero
Who built this bitch up from ground zero
Filled his robot with gas
And commenced kicking ass
and has since become everyone's hero

Faith was a lovely young lass
The very picture of gamer girl class

And kotaku can kiss Dtoid's ass.

Dude Ragnarok looks so fucking FUN.
I'm not gonna get it, though, cuz I don't want to get divorced.
I'd be on that sucker all day.

Hushgush loves RPGs with a passion
But his time's something that must be rationed.
If he played Rag all night
His wife would start fights
And then kill him in stealth ninja fashion.

There once was this friend we call bunny,
she found guitar hero quite funny,
then one day she played,
she obsessed right away,
so she's now in my bedroom playing the game.

There once was a man named Kevin Keene
Who made it onto the video gaming scene
With Princess Lana on her back
Captain N made a play for her crack
Too bad his controller wasn't clean

hushgush, the best thing about ragnarok is it's easy and tiny in mmo terms. ive been playing for 2 nights and have seen 5% of the game easily. and i think there's an official last boss so you could easily rush through the game in just one month. but i understand what you mean :)

Thinking that I might lose my mind,
if I lost to this Boss one more time,
So I'm resolved to tear him apart,
and rip out his friggin heart,
so that the next level will be mine

Well that was fun. I wrote one for Nagiko, too, but it was totally inappropriate, whih meant it was time to go to sleep.

Okay, at Nagiko's own request, here is her dirty limerick:


Nagiko is totally hot
the boys all hope they've got a shot
to meet in real life
and make her their wife
and each night blow in her game slot


Don't flame me, ladies, she asked for it.

There once was a guy called gush
which did follow the word hush
when he takes a dump
lim'ricks fall and jump
right out of his ass called... hush-gush junior?

that's supposed to be a compliment btw, meaning you don't need to think to make a good limerick :P i didn't mean it as in "your limericks suck!"

Yeah, God gave some people wall street skills, brain surgery skills, moneymaking stuff.

I got comic art and limericks. I'll be rich in no time.

There once was a man named Summa,
who was as strong and fast as a puma,
he beats on his wii,
and shouts with such glee,
when he splats the shit out of a goomba
