The Guild - Do You Wanna Date My Avatar?

[Retro]

I love this satirical song and video from 2009 about multiplayer games. There's so much in the video that as you watch it more than once, you notice details that you missed before on every play. I normally prefer instrumentals, but the video really enhances this song which is better with vocals.

They did a whole series of comedies called The Guild sending up multiplayer games which you can find on their YouTube channel, also called The Guild.

I really like the stop-motion bits in the video. It fits with the (choppy) videogame theme.
Funny lyrics too. They may as well apply to those guys who have anime pillow waifus, lol.

(I do hope that I have not offended Retro with the last remark)

Indeed, there's such a lot of fine detail in this video and the clever lyrics. It's a classic in terms of parody and a great song and video.

They only did two videos and this is the second one. Song isn't really that good so not getting its own thread, but posting here for reference. It has a story as well, though. See what you think.

It has got something to it. They definitely had a nice concept going on. It makes one wonder why they only did two songs. I guess they just focused a lot more on their webseries.
