Trailer Trash 10

The week’s weird, wacky and WTF videogame trailers

Words: on July 2, 2009

Thanks to the casual game asplosion, publishers are racing to put every possible leisure activity into Wii form. Our first page of Trailer Trash deals with a few egregious examples of activities that are more fun (and cheaper) in real life than on Wii.

Let’s Catch



Attention lazy dads! Are you sick and tired of interacting with your whiny children? You can’t go back in time and get a vasectomy, but you can buy Let’s Catch for the little assholes. That ought to shut them the hell up and buy you 5 minutes of peace and quiet (that is, until the little shitheads throw a Wii-mote through your new TV.)

Cost of a ball: $5


Reel Fishing Challenge



If the music doesn’t put you into a coma, the gameplay will. And check out the way the line realistically clips through the fish as it struggles to break free. Excuse me, I have to go pour some molten lead down my pants to see if I’m still alive.

Cost of a fishing pole: $20


We Cheer 2

Thanks for ruining a perfectly good 80s hit with cheerleading pre-teens whose repulsive smiles are equal parts MSG and saccharine.

Cost of pompoms: $2/ea

    We Cheer looks a lot like Elite Beat Agents retooled for a different demographic, and that's no bad thing.

    I am actually quite amazed that no one has commented on the last video "Minna no Theatre". The others deserved to be in Trailer Trash but Minna was the only one that made me laugh

    Oh well done, Greed. 4 comments too late, and in the same week as the "What to Say to the Guy who Comments "FIRST!!" article. Classy timing. I just hope you're ashamed of your slow typing. Delete your account.

    WTF has happened to Scooby Doo? I grew up with the Doo man. Cartoon Network made the New Scooby Doo a little while back with some Soooby Doo movies where the monsters are actually real and not people in masks. Screw that noise son, old school Doo will never die.

    When ever I look at these Trailer Trash vids, I feel obligated to say "WTF?" at least a dozen times per video.
