Is there some special video game issue of The Onion currently in print? Because not only did the humor publication skewer game violence this week, it also poked at Super Mario Bros. and, now, Punch-Out!!.
We wonât spoil the thing for you (too much), but The Onion Sports writes of Punched Out!!: The Mike Tyson Story, a verbal recounting of the events of Mike Tysonâs Punch-Out!!, âreportedâ to debut at the 2009 SXSW Film Festival.
Favorite bits include: âTyson himself admits that it was his incessant blinking-the only time he showed any weakness in the ring-that ultimately lead to his demiseâ and âthe infamous âpasswordâ scandal, U.S. Supreme Court case number 007-373-5963, in which Mac was accused of unfairly skipping all the boxers and going directly to Tyson.â
Of course, ripped from its context, itâs not nearly as amusing and flowingly inside-joke filled.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
