E3: Threediots is the killer app the 3DS has been needing

Jim Sterling, Reviews Editor
10:36 AM on 06.07.2012


The absolute highlight of yesterday's special E3 3DS press conference was, undoubtedly, the unveiling of Threediots, a new 3D pulp comedy show that will air on the handheld's Nintendo Video channel. As you can see, it is literally the most amusing thing in the world and Nintendo knows its fans will enjoy it very much. 

It is tough to decide which part of the trailer is the most hilarious. The bit with the funny screaming or the bit with the funny costumes that are funny. Nintendo described the show last night as both "wacky" and "zany" so you know it's going to be top notch. Nothing ever described as wacky or zany has failed to be brilliant. Apart from, say, everything

I want to just cut my rectum to ribbons with shards of broken glass. 

Threediots.

My favourite part is when it was over.
I'll cut your rectum to ribbons if you ever post shit like this again, Jim. And then I'll pack it full of lemons. And a ham. And maybe some cornbread.
They're being ironic somehow, right?
It looks like it was made by some freshman in college. In fact, I could swear that I basically cut together a trailer for something this crappy as a freshman, minus the "budget." Good to know that Nintendo is grabbing some top talent.
Best closing line ever? Or best closing line ever?
Sarcasm, right? This website needs subtitles.
"they are a rambunctious sort, ain't them"

I used to be upset that I couldn't watch Nintendo videos...now not so much
alright,that sounds delicous
At first I thought this was an FMV rhythm game...

@WaddleWave
There ARE subtitles!
Just under the story he said he wants to cut his rectum to ribbons with shards of broken glass...
@Vid Cirman

I don't know, I could see how someone might think that Jim's remark was reinforcing how much he loved Threediots, and that he does, in fact, enjoy having his rectum cut to ribbons.

While Jonathan Holmes watches.

In awe.

Smiling.
I want to die knowing I live in the same world that this filth exists.
Doesn't look any worse than the majority of comedies on tv now-a-days.
I haven't heard a person sincerely use the word "zany" in the last decade. Kudos, Nintendo.
That's the reason I'm buying a 3DS.
Can you guys IP ban Khaled Alahmed already?
the best nintendo joke was the "mario's biggest fan" one
well, apart from the wii u itself
It looks like a poor man's mighty boosh.
Mr.Caffeine should make a guest appearance.
Nintendo Video on occasion has some really good stuff, but it also has stuff like this. Why they wasted time with this, and no Fire Emble or Animal Crossing is beyond me.
"I want to just cut my rectum to ribbons with shards of broken glass."

Oh, so you're the guy from "1 guy, 1 jar."
I liked the bit when my eyes and ears started to bleed and I did a poo poo.
As I was watching that, I took an old spoon and began stabbing my forehead with it. By the time I finished, adad wdjakd jwakjd assd .
What the fuck happened
Game, er, thing of E3!
I watched Threediots and survived.
Ha ha let's completely judge something before we do what we're supposed to do with it (watch/play/listen/read). That's so smart.

Totally the first thing I thought, and I've never seen the damn video. (Poor me, I know.)
When I saw this last night, my first thought was "How is this SOFTWARE?!"

Then I tried to watch the first ep last night on my 3DS, but had to turn it off way before it was over. It's like they gave 5th graders cameras and said "hey, go be zany!"

Seriously, Nintendo has lost its way and lost me as a customer.
Nintendo Video is bad and it should feel bad.
That rectum bit was pretty funny! Oh wait.. not in the video you say?
Hey Sterling!
This is completely unrelated but I found no other way to get your attention on the site. A while ago I bought Metal Arms based on your recommendation, and continue to feel sad more games like aren't made.

With that said, have you ever heard of or played this game?

This is one instance where I agree with your Nintendo bashing, Sterling. This is one of the dumbest moves I've seen Nintendo try in years.
Haha, I was reading the post without sarcasm until the second paragraph. Then I watched the video...

Wow.

I still don't feel compelled to watch videos on my 3DS. Us UK gamers don't even have Netflix on it yet.
