Everyone has heard this skit, but … if you haven't seen the Final Fantasy 8-bit version …

I'll get the cheetos...

Really? How did you miss this? It's at least 10 years old now... such a golden oldie...

"I'm attacking the darkness!"

1996! I first heard it in college, though it was released when I was in high school... the various animations are obviously later. There's a great recording of "Picard at McDonalds" which is also classic I remember from that time.

I didn't miss it. I stumbled across this back when CotMM and others were making 8-Bit Theater youtube vids.

Black Mage: Do you know what happens to a giant when it's hit by a fireball?
Fighter: No, what?
Black Mage: THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENS TO EVERYTHING ELSE!
Fighter: … Dude, that line sucks.
Black Mage: Whatever, look, just distract him whilst I whip up some magic!

… black mage runs away …

Thief: Your GP or your HP…
Black Mage: Man, this is so lame!
Thief: Come on, cough up the gold, magic loser…

… later …

Fighter: K… Kill meeee…
Black Mage: Tempting, but I need to use you as a sh—er, I mean, traveling cohort, yeah… Besides, it's time to kick some giant asssss…

*thunder* *creepy ocremix*

Black Mage: HAAAAAA-DOOOOO-KEEEENNNNN!!!

*atomic detonation*

Fighter: Overkill much?
Black Mage: Well the giant's gone ain't he?

…

"Next on Chicks In Chainmail …"

*ahem* I last watched those ten years ago. And it's probably been about ten years since Brian finished 8-Bit Theater actually… Funny is funny though.
