I like the Link throwing the boomerang and MK 2 one.

I dont think games would be much fun if they are too real. Why else do we play games but to do thinks we normal cant. "Tax return the game" so real to bad your going to have to to do it again for real. Its like reality TV, would people watch those shows if it was actual reality. No people have to have absurd situations for it to be enjoyable.

Now a realistic game putting you in a situation you dont want to be really in can be fun. Like most war games. I do think it would be cool one shot your dead then you have to control another teammate. Instead of health you have people.

9 is less funny; you're throwing pokeballs at real animals like squirrels.
7 is Minesweeper, only instead of a small grid it's actually a guy sweeping mines.
4: there's no such thing as ghosts.
2 is Gears of War, and the guy cut off his fingers with the chainsaw, what with it being very easy to do (that's where you'd normally hold it).

In #11 I'm trying to identify all the girls. From left to right it's Rayne, unknown, Christie, Rachel, and unknown. Can anyone fill in the blanks?
