I'm actually surprised they made it as far as the boss without autofire, knowing how to shoot in diagonal or knowing that you can lay on the ground :lol:

A few figured out crouching and I think they accidentally did some diagonal. But my most favorite part was when they grab the machine gun and then fire one shot at a time.

Yeah, the Contra episode. WHAR KONAMI CODE WHAR?! I guess since they had so many pairs of people playing they just gave them 3 lives.

I couldn't make it beyond two minutes into this video of well dressed mindless twenty year old people pretending to be brainless teenagers.

Nintendo? Whaz that?

I don't even know how to read. How do you say this? Cahh? Cahhntra?

I think this button jumps and this button shoots?

---You think? ...or maybe, just maybe these people were polished up, fed lines, and were paid actors.

Do people not understand these things are mostly staged? What exactly is the entertainment value of this garbage? You give a monkey a calculator and I'll be responsible for half of the views, but this is dumb nonsense that panders to the lcd of intelligence.

But hey, "reality" tv is still successful, so why not profit on people being dumb?

They are staged, they are not staged to the point they jump off cliffs and don't know they can hold a button to shoot :lol:

None of them probably grew up playing anything like it, and you can bet they didn't let the teens read the manual, first. I bet with a little practice they'd all be just fine.

Oh no. Really? C'mon and use your noggin.

I'd bet the "teenagers" didn't read the instructions because they were instructed to suck as much as possible even if they'd played the game before. Also to give the biggest reactions to every single question and even when numerous kids pretended they couldn't read.

"Cahhhn--traaah?"

These are paid actors used to capitalize on idiots because of a fad idiots will actually watch.

While it might be staged, I can't say its wrong. People my age are this ignorant about things, in general, and not knowing how to say "Contra"... well, I know lots of people who can't read well too.
