What if video games had a super-easy mode? Well, considering the number of hours I spent on Contra back in the day, I would have killed for one.

Just about every person who had an original 8-bit Nintendo has the game Duck Hunt, and almost all of us wanted to throw the light gun at the TV at some point. This video tells us why that was.

In celebration of YouTube’s fifth anniversary, we thought we’d present you with classic comedy clips from the site all week. Today’s is … LEEROY JENKINS! Yes, this was all set up, but it’s still hilarious, and it has made it’s way into pop culture. Not safe for work due to language.

This video is obviously making numerous references to the popular Modern Warfare 2 game, but boy is this dead on. I don’t now how many times I’ve been playing that game and seen people do stupid things just to unlock an achievement. It’s ended up causing me to get killed on more than one occasion … glad to see how this turns out! (Mildly not safe for work, although the actual curse words are bleeped out, still obvious what they are.)

The entire time I was playing the Master Chief trilogy of HALO, the one thing on my mind was, “Man, I wish Master Chief would release some albums!” Well, it looks he heard my prayers! Master Chief Sings just proves that he is a versatile talent that can either be killing enemies, are laying down the slow jams.

Who knew that all the combatants in Mortal Kombat needed was someone giving them mediation tips? (The first time Scorpion shows up in the video made me snort I was laughing so hard) Don’t forget to also check out Mortal Kombat Is Not A Tournament, it’s amazing how little this game made sense when you look back at it now, but oh well … it did a great job of eating my quarters.

Living the life of a soldier that rarely takes off their armor can make it a bit difficult to find love. Yet, somehow this Stormtrooper from Star Wars and a Spartan from the Halo game series, not only find each other in different universes, but find the time to kindle a romance. Aw, nothing says love like going out with your honey for ice cream. Course, I would want to be around for the passionate moments … is there really a sexy way to remove that much armor? “Honey, could you undo this bolt for me?”

Okay, maybe it’s a technicality, but this video raises some oddly good points about Mortal Kombat … while also still making you laugh. (Not Safe For Work warning for language)
