Wii Fit Parody :)
They start the video off with a definite kernel of truth relating the Wii Fit board to “a little white thing you stand on.” This sets the mood for the rest of the video. I find every single part of this video funny. The sarcasm in this video is hysterical. If you have or have been on a Wii Fit you will certainly understand because they are simply telling the truth but doing it in a matter like how on this product it allows you to exciting new exercises like moving side to side or lifting your leg or maybe your other leg.
While its telling you that it has amazing graphics and engaging game playing you’re looking at this girl try and balance herself on the board while looking at a screen that’s balancing her weight on each of her feet.
It also mentions that if you don’t want to invest three dollars and nineteen cents on a hula hoop why not just pick up a Wii for three-hundred dollars? This part is making fun of the fact that we are spending a ton of money on a product that makes you virtual hula hoop instead of the real thing.
“Go far beyond working out” while this guy is doing pushups on the machine. The video shows definite sarcasm because you cannot do cardio on this “little white thing you stand on”
“Instead of having your kids go outside to play and get exercise why don’t you have them stand in front of the TV?”
“Step-up-on-the-white-thing game” is referring to dancing. It’s using sarcasm by calling this dancing.
The narrator used words like “exciting” for a good portion of the movie as in “exciting titles like roll the ball in the hole.” Hahaha. This is using heavy sarcasm. He is making fun of the fact that we get so excited about doing those sorts of things only because we aren’t actually doing them.
“Nothing says fun to kids as a good fun or chart” (when looking at the graph of your family’s progress within the program) is complete sarcasm.
“Wii fit is bringing families out of the back yard and putting them back in front of their television” is kernel of truth because that’s exactly what its doing. Instead of exercising outside and feeling the fresh air the people that own these are making themselves think that they are exercising by moving there leg side to side and balancing themselves.
To end it off he says “find out today why people all over the world think they’re getting exercise with that little white thing you stand on.” This has a kernel of truth and sarcasm. We like to think we are getting exercise doing the easy tasks found on this device and the narrator uses sarcasm because we aren’t really getting too much of any exercise on it.
