Many of my days doing what I do end up not making much sense. Today is one of those days. When videos like this come along, they actually feel normal and right as a part of my day. How messed up is that?

Take this Sega Japan produced video for their Puyo Day campaign. It stars the Puyo Puyo series character Suketoudara, a crazed fish that likes to dance. In this video he goes nuts trying to rock out to his jams. Due to having flipper hands, he can't type or play Wii, let alone make a phone call. He's fine with writing on a whiteboard, somehow.

In the end, all he can do is dance, hold up his "thank you, everyone" sign, and pillow dive. I love that I live a life in which this video makes sense.

His limited range of movement makes the video. That, and the fact that Suketoudara is the best Puyo character!

Lies and blasphemy! Skeleton T is the best NOT because his strategy is terrible (he won't rotate puyo) but because HE SERVES YOU TWICE-STEEPED TEA! Such conduct makes him truly the best among a group of seriously deranged weirdos.

Since they love fish so much, can we have Sega Marine Fishing XBLA? Pretty please? An HD new Sega Fishing game would be fine too.

I agree. I love Skeleton T. Although Suketoudara is pretty awesome too.

@Dale North

What's the deal with the puyo day campaign? Do you have any details of when it will occur?

As interesting as Japan is, I feel like long term exposure to it would melt my brain.

If I had a million dollars in cash right now I would take everyone who smiled at that to Japan just for the lulz.
