The Mussolini thing was hilarious.

[@KairuDeLarge]

It's so sad when you realize this was mere weeks before Ryan left us.

[@kayodett]

We don't talk about that!

[@TheXenoNick]

Thanks for uploading this bit. Was listening to Bombcast on the bus laughing like an insane person at this part.

[@glenngunnerzero]

We need Vinny and Brad doing the press voice and Dark Souls.

[@TheGamonman]

FANCY SEEIN' YOU HERE NICK

[@MagikGimp]

Poor Vinny. Once he pointed it out you can't help but add to the pile(-a).

[@Anti-HyperLink]

One of these guys sounds like Josh Jepson

[@TheBicycleRepairman2]

ARE YOU ALSO IN THIS DIVISION??? perhaps we can impact the game with 2 helicopters!!

[@splitshock]

I like Vinny as much as the next guy, but he's just too far off base here. Incorrect usage of the term "racism" is a major pet peeve of mine. Mario's character is based on a cultural stereotype (and a pretty innocent one, at that). It has nothing to do with racism, which encompasses some of the worst atrocities in human history.
Jeff is funny as always, though.

[@Djangolulu]

Isn't cultural stereotyping a form of racism? It can still be racism if its not the slavery or the Holocaust.

[@Jonmad17]

Djangolulu No, it isn't. Pointing out that Japanese people sometimes eat sushi and bow as a greeting isn't the same as considering them inferior. If it were, then you couldn't portray or refer to any cultural difference.
