The GunStop Way

Ever needed a weapon desperately, only to be told by the retailer that you couldn’t buy one without a pre-order? Or perhaps you keep wondering where all of the mom-and-pop gun and ammo stores went to? Then perhaps you’re familiar with GunStop, the dominant weapons retailer on XBox Live. This is a short filmed with the Halo 3 engine. For all you gamers that have had the pleasure of dealing with the store that is being parodied in this video, we trust that you can relate to some of the experiences inside.

    Being in the UK. i guess i might not have got most of the gunstop and other gun store jokes. although i do get where the pre-order bit comes from “gun” here can be like that.

    Were westhimer and chet supposed to be in this video disguised as halo characters? :S
    I guess the apple never falls far from the tree…

    Good Tbagging at the end though! 😀

    Zomgzgzgzgzgzgzg
    I almost crapped my pants. Especially at the end xDDD

  11. Nitro288

    Very nice and well done. I liked the reference to Funcoland, its so true. The Gamestop closest to my home used to be Funcoland until purchased by gamestop.

  12. JX

    Will Ferrell (or at least, someone who REALLY sounds like him) has returned!!! Keep up the great work guys!

  13. Misfit_zer0

    OH my your leg thrusts are so powerful
    and that placement of thy crotch on his brow is perfect

    …incredible xDDDD

  14. AK-01 the Headhunter

    LOL!!!
    I have never had any problems except for trying to a hard to find gun… I mean game.
    Nice names for the other stores too!
    Good job. I don’t have an xBox… but these shorts are still very funny!

  15. strange

    It was funny, but I think you tried too hard to parody. I mean, parody is one of my favorite types of entertainment, but you just went overboard with “our goal is to rape the customers’ wallet” and “we must exert financial domination over all other companies”. Also, with the hardly-changed names, it almost seemed like product placement Gamefly. :V

    The filming and angles and actions onscreen were good, but the script needs work.

    GT, the video’s actually addressing the terrible GameStop line of strores and their terrible employees. Not all americans are trigger-happy yanks D:

    As for the voice acting, the halo characters in Smooth Few Film’s videos are made and voiced by the same people doing the characters in TLW. So similarities are bound to be the same.

    :[ c’mon man!

  17. Nocturnal Swinger

    Ending quote = priceless, you guys never cease to stop with the excellent humor, can’t wait for the next video XD and congrats on being featured again on destructoid. :>

  18. CapnDork

    That was really quite excellent. I liked the Will Farell/Anchorman character. And then the other homage to anchorman which Im surprised no one has said anything about. The gunstore fight thing seemed to be a nod to the news station battle in Anchorman.

  19. stack

    hhahahahahah “thanks for coming to gunstop” “would you like to pre order a bunch of bull shit?” who does the customers voice though i cant figure out who it is

  20. stack

    hahahha “would you like to pre order some bull shit?” “m for more fun” hahahah thats hilarious who does the customers voice though

  21. Greek(Romania)

    Pretty confused about the characters…
    Whesteimer first is red than blue…
    The same for Chet…
    Who was the last guy who killed Chet than started Tbagging?

  22. Greek(Romania)

    Anyway Leet World IS 7|-|3 b3s7 (is the best ) (first time when I write l33t )

  23. Player

    lol 2. on the gunstop employee list.

    Customers dont want what they want. Tell them. lol

  24. Fuzz

    Hahahahahaha “would you like to pre order a bunch of bull shit?”Hahahahahahahaha

  25. R3450N

    What teh fehk is gunfly? beside that, for a guy who has never played the halo series or xbox live for that matter, fking funny, especially with the corpse humpin in the end.

  26. Sinoda

    No offense, I didn’t really find it funny. It was basically a bunch of play on words. I mean, I know you did the ‘Gamestop people lie and want you to buy stuff’ bit, but it’s been done before…

  27. Timerider

    Lol
    My local (the closest one anyway) Gamestop used to be a Funcoland. I didn’t know they were still around. And yeah, their used games cost about the same as new. And I wish they still sold the old games, thats what made them different. I remember being able to buy old NES games at the same time as Gamecube stuff, now they sell only newer games and consoles, like everyone else.

  28. Timerider

    Oh, and the customer sounds exactly like Will Ferrell (same as in the Over-Achiever). You could get a job as an impersonator. 😉

    Timerider,

    Babbage’s was one of the companies that ended up merging into GameStop. Gosh, I’m 25 and you’re making me feel old because you’re bring back nostalgic memories of Babbage’s.

    But seriously guys, this video was freakin’ hilarious.

    Bitch got served.

    Sorry i mustn’t have made myself clear, i get the whole gunstop/gamestop thing, i did realise that it wasn’t an actual gun store!
    As for the common voices you’ll note the comment “The apple never falls far from the tree” which means that i realised the voices are all done by the same people, hence them sounding v similar.

    chillax!! rar

  33. marco polo

    rule number 4: when in doubt lie!
    another great episode 😀

    keep up the good work guys

  34. trooper

    whats funny is when you work at gamestop they make you befriend the customer in order for them to buy shit, and also if you dont ask them to buy game informer or preorder bullshit you will get fired..because i worked there thats how i know…this is hilarious good work guys

  35. stack

    babbages is an old store that was made in 1999 and went out of buisness in 2003

  36. Objecterror

    I’ve had this video on for so long, i love how the parodies of each game distributor is pretty much spot on. I love the characters, a little over embellished but i still find it funny every time.
