Monkey Island Play on YouTube

Bloodwych · 13 November 2008, 21:48

I've seen it all now!

A Monkey Island play - looks like it was done by a school of some sort.

All the lines are faithful to the game. Great effort! The timing and acting are not as good as the game....but, the game had a star cast.

I wonder who suggested doing this?

Nice one

However I can't remember the 'YAARGGHH!' part...

I REAAAAAAAAAAAALLY hate shit like this.

Just leave it alone. Please.

Ah, but then you wouldn't get to see other goodies such as this:

:P

Hehe, I ended up watching that instead!

Exiled · 14 November 2008, 10:46

I couldn't bring myself to watch much of the play when it arose, either. It was rather painful.

Hahahah!

I torture all your minds with the funky Monkey Island play!

I'll let the cat out of the bag. KillerGorilla was the Voodoo woman. Star of the show apparently. You should be proud KG.

All your plays are belong to us.

I have to admit, I made it to the third part of goodness knows how many parts it is, before the bad acting got too much. But hey, they're kids. And you need to know what's out there. Knowledge is power.

Plus all your plays are belong to us. Or have I already said that?

KG the voodoo lady? The three-headed-monkey would make a better fit, surely?

Quite possibly, but Gorillas HATE being called Monkeys, according to Planet of the Apes.

StarEye · 14 November 2008, 22:21

Just another reason to do so

Safer to call KG a monkey than calling an orang-utan a monkey.

The MI play sucks, but the Press Play on Tape track is awesome.

I'll agree with you on that point, it's absolutely ace to see these kids embracing the fantastic Monkey Island script. So, yeah - good on them, I say. It's a proud, albeit slightly cringeworthy, moment that they can recount to their own kids some day.

Also, I'm not quite sure what the purpose of your last third to last statement was, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it on the back of a natty grey sweatshirt I used to own.
