Geeks are cool now. This is our time. Hmmm. Jedi Gym or Fantasy Island?

Do not meddle in the affairs of nerds, for they aren't subtle and suck at parody.

I find your lack of... ...limbs disturbing. See, this illustrates the real reason why I want a light saber. You just turn it on and sure as shit in mere seconds some dumb nerd tries to grab it by the blade and cuts off his hand.

I thought it was real at first and was just some new fad from California. Seriously. I was gonna pass it to my husband and tell him how cool it was because he's into knife fighting and stuff like that. Now I'm disappointed that it wasn't real. I saw Star Wars three times when it came out and I was all ready to make a costume and join a Star Wars dojo :::sob:::

Civil_Disobedient: "Wow, that got gruesome, huh?" I thought you meant gruesome as in just another poorly done fanboy video, but you meant gruesome as in gruesome. Yes it got gruesome, it also got awesome.

My secret ninja clan sensei taught me all the counters to Vader's lightsaber attacks, I totally could have taken him out with my tactical fighting spork.

I was kind of like, "Ok, this is kind of funny, but in an abstract way. I would show it to other people and we would all kind of pretend to laugh but, really, it's not, like, that funny." Then I got to the end. That was freaking awesome.

After reading all of the comments here I was ready to sit through the setup for an awesome, hilarious ending. All I got was meh and 6 minutes WASTED.

This video does roughly the same thing in 1/4th the time and is generally way more rad and funny. If you haven't seen it, I'm only sorry that it's basically been spoilered, because the first time I thought I was watching the real deal. I wish you could experience the same level of jaw-droppage I did when the shit started going down.

Holy shit, this was worth it just for 2or3's link. That was brilliant.

This video does roughly the same thing Hey, that little diversion was fun, but this is either some new and unknown definition of the word "same", or you're pushing the word "roughly" to a new degree of latitude. 90% of Jedi Gym is someone channeling Steve Carrel's Michael Scott as a Star Wars Nerd Gym manager instead of a Dunder Mifflin manager, of which there is zero in the other video.

By: brevator

Have to agree with namespun. 2o3's link has a similar punch, but the set up and resolution were entirely different. Both videos are cool though.

some new and unknown definition of the word "same", or you're pushing the word "roughly" to a new degree of latitude Hm. Yeah, you're probably right. I guess that by "same" I was just referring to the aspect of omg unexpected lightsabre violence suddenly introduced, and that's probably because I found it to be the highlight of the posted video, and the 90% of it to which you're referring pretty unfunny.

This made me cry with laughter. I was losing it as "Lando" described his newfound confidence, and fell apart completely as things took a turn for the worse. Fantastic! The "Stabbing" video 2or3 linked to is similarly great, but altogether different. LOVED the Storm Trooper cops: "You do not want to arrest me..." How about we just agree that well done Star Wars parodies are good things in general?

yeah, i'm pretty sure this was a spoof of New York Jedi (http://www.nyjedi.com/). And the 'Master Flynn' in the video is a spoof my my cousin, Michael Flynn. 'Master Flynn' in action: http://youtube.com/watch?v=oCjwK0Xf2Bk

This video does roughly the same thing in 1/4th the time and is generally way more rad and funny. Thank you for that awesomeness to contrast with this less-than-awesomeness. Lightsaber punk: "You're not going to arrest me..." Stormtrooper: "Shut the fuck up."
