Kevin Butler Parody Pokes At PSN Outage

If by now you haven’t witnessed a Kevin Butler advertisement, you probably live in a hole in the ground. Being well aware of the PlayStation Network outage of late, PlayStation fan owner Joe Hagofsky takes hold of the popular advertising campaign, adding a personal twist.

[noxeven]

Nice little chuckle there

[velocitygamer]

That's going to spark off a console fanboy war.

**Flame Suit Engaged**

[JoeIsMad]

It's cool, just call me Jonathan Lowell Spencer "Johnny" Storm.

[Ricco-Warrior]

just call me Johnny F'ing Cage for short

[potedude]

Lol @ that video. Its obviously saying play some single player goodness.

Sucks if you want to play online though.

Also did you notice Kevin was playing with a red controller, not standard DS3. Hmmmm....

[JoeIsMad]

That was Marvel's The Human Torch, not a Mortal Kombat reference.

[nveenio]

The video is kind of funny, but the kid in it looks like a d-bag.

[RBLAZE1988]

That....was f'in hilarious and I haven't been able to play portal 2 co-op and bad company 2 since last wednesday so anything that can make me laugh about this situation is a plus in my book. Not to mention that my CC info could have been potentially stolen along with the rest of my info. It better not take another week to fix this.

[Cenobia]

@potedude

They sell red DS3's.

Also, they just marketed it to you.

[Dee_91]

lmao
"thanks for coming "

[Pixelated_Army]

I don't think it's too funny that there are potentially 75 million customer's personal information floating around in cyberspace for all to see and use. I'm sure it won't be too funny when your bank account is wiped out by a 14 yr old punk that thinks he's hit the jackpot. First Sony in their arrogance keeps us in the dark for a week, a whole week that we could have taken some action to protect ourselves, and now users are making parodies about this? This is some serious stuff we're talking about here. This is what you get when you pay nothing for a free network.

[Joni-Ice]

Hopefully it doesn't start a onslaught of rage.

[SeanScythe]

I heard the reason for the PSN outage is because KB went on vacation. Apparently the PSN had been running on his greatness for power to save on electricty. The reason it's not back on yet is because he took two weeks off to visit his Earth view Condo on the moon.

lol

[kyl277]

hahaha actually nope

[Scary69]

Yeah it was funny..LOL

[Noble Spartan]

damn disaster has happened. BREACH OF PERSONAL DATA. How on earth is Sony going to make up for this, No crap free PSN game will do.

[moparful99]

I think its funny, banks have breachs where personal data is stolen and you don't see half the country demand monetary compensation or a free trip to the bahamas but when sony has one by God they better pay up... Instead of everyone taking a step back and realizing that sony is taking a financial loss by protecting us with the choice to take psn offline... It boggles my mind just how much people feel they are entitled to anymore..

[PiTCHBLaCK]

@ moparful99

I Disagree, Sony withheld this information for a week, nobody was protected for a week.

[FamilyGuy]

That was awesome

[DelbertGrady]

Lol @ dirty Madcatz Tritton headset. Steelseries ftw! *yes, even headset fanboyism exists*

[Ricco-Warrior]

tan tan taaaaaaaaaaan!

[im-12-years-old]

Protip: madcatz only recently bought out tritton. 5.1 dolby digital audio with and mic that is compatible with all platforms at less than $200 is great.

[Treyb3yond]

But ps3 still has teh GAMEZ!!

F all nerd hackers can do about that. Haha!

[BX81]

I laughed for a sec.

[jahcure]

this was quite hilarious..lol

[news4geeks]

yeah I haven't laughed that hard since I was a kid xD

[SuperLupe]

Guess u dont laugh a lot then.

Was a cool vid btw.

[user858621]

haha!!

[XRider]

Anger and bitterness incoming but all worth it because that was funny as hell.

[CernaML]

Edit: Whoa wtf, the penny arcade comic was taken off their website. :(

[XRider]

It's ok the link is down because we all know it was probably some anti xbox thing because you didn't like the joke.

[JoeIsMad]

It looks like our hosting is overloaded by the heat of the topic. Time to buy a better server I suppose.

[XRider]

Yeah that was funny too

[Burning_Finger]

Look what Kevin is playing. A SINGLE PLAYER GAME!! :)

[Ricco-Warrior]

no way i thought he was playing HORSE co-op with a friend online. thanks sherlock

[Rockstar]

Now THIS is funny ^^^

[gamingisnotacrime]

funny :)

[NBT91]

Glad Sony are having a chuckle about it, I meanwhile am being forced to once again go outside... XD

[StoneyYoshi]

sony didnt make this video. it was a random ps3 customer taking the advertisements and putting his own twist to it.

[Crystallis]

Sony did not make the video. The fact that you thought sony made this video is LOLz!

[StoneyYoshi]

shows how good people are at editing videos and how lazy ppl are that dont read the article before watching the video. lol

[Rybakov]

Sony needs to make one making fun of ANON...that would equal 1,000 awesome points

[Acquiescence]

Kid tries too hard to be a gangsta. Living as a gangsta isn't something you 'try', it's something you ARE. It's in the genes. Me? I was born gangsta.

[evrfighter]

lol he came off as a gangster to you? lol wow

[duplissi]

i dont think your born with it actually its caused by a chronic lack of intelligence.

[GamerSciz]

A little ironic how they chose a piece of video where Kevin Butler is playing an epic SP campaign...rather then a Multiplayer. Kind of makes you realize, we lived without online gaming for years, a week is not going to kill us as you can still earn trophies and play fun single player campaigns.

[Tainted Gene]

I think that was the point. GOW3 is non online so that is why Kevin is ignoring gangsta dude. That why its funny.... to me anyway.

Just forward it to some of my friends.

[ThePsychoGamer]

There are a lot of great single player games on the PS3, I'd highly recommend Yakuza 3 and 4, great games. also can't forget about Infamous

[Der_Kommandant]

I gotta admit, that made me laugh

[dragonyght]

the irony is that KB was playing godofwar lol he should have got the clue by now go plays games

[GiggMan]

Damn God of War looks amazing...

Oh, that's not the point of the article?

My bad...

[Ace_Man_6]

It was so funny I forgot to laugh!

[Kewl_Kat]

I doubt Kevin Butler cares, he's probably too busy slacking off and playing god of war 3 lol

[Hazmat13]

funny online down time and KB is playin and intense and epic SP game.

[Raven_Nomad]

That was epic!
Someone sent me this picture of a comic with Kevin Butler in it yesterday. Just as epic!

http://art.penny-arcade.com...

[Scyrus]

not bad, i almost smirked there too.

lol i like how people are mad at sony because hackers don't have a life.

seriously, COD isn't the only game in the world. and for those of u wanting to play MK online just invite a friend and play 2 players without lag

[etowntwo]

Lol ... Awesome.

[Scyrus]

my mouth almost went into smirk position then it didn't

[leogets]

hahaha gota say that was funny as the 3shitty gettin ring of death. love the humour. well done ;)

[ZBlacktt]

Now that was pretty funny. Notice how Kevin is playing a single player game as well. :D

[xShinigamix]

lol thats a good one

[Relientk77]

It was funny

[DarkSpawnClone]

lol it was a nice attempt, gave me a little smirk..I like the original better tho xD

I just got The Fight:Lights Out to take out my rage on the psn outage >=o

[ME1989]

Lol, gave me a chuckle.

*straight face*

But seriously now, where's my PSN?

[Fel08]

The white kid tryin to be black is funny

[iPlayGamez]

So black people wear Monster T-Shirts? that kid was in every way WHITE, he wasnt trying to act Black, i dont see why you would even think that.

[PiTCHBLaCK]

He wasn't acting black, he was acting Ghetto, and white people live in the Ghetto to. :)

[fullmetal297]

I bet Microsoft paid him =D

[SeraphimBlade]

I loved that it ended with "it only does vengeance, rage"

[Duxer]

Man, God of War III looks amazing! :D

[Too_many_games]

i have that Tritton Headset!!! ;)

[SemiProJoe]

I love it!

[Eiffel]

Little photoshop and came up with this, enjoy.

http://dearplaystation.ytmn...

[R_A_LEE20]

Playstation only does everything....

..Including Blackouts!

[Its_That_Purp]

I Bet Kevin Butler Could Track Down Anon And Incapacitate Them With The Sharpshooter!

[cpt_kaos]

LOL well there ya go someone found something to do with the PSN downtime.

[SemiProJoe]

Haha, I don't even own a PS3.

[TBONEJF]

That's some editing "SARCASM"

[Aarix]

Whenever you go and make a better and funnier one, send me a link .

[CtrlAltDel]

WOW! So they shut down their service with no date of return and that (for free), most people had gotten used to using it daily, They failed totell affecting customers how serious the situation is for six days providing hackers with a week of opportunities to sell info or use it fraudulently and on top of this they find time to make a joke of a comedic video. That's an insult! Nothing more, nothing less!

And some of y'allare laughing.Anon is laughing too...@ U!

[Holeran]

I took my only vacation of the last 2.5 years starting last wednesday. This has been one messed up vacation to say the least because I planned on playing Killzone 3 as much as I wanted (multiplayer that is) and got borked as soon as I turned my playstation 3 on wednesday morning. I thought no big deal it will be back up in an hour or so, ya lie to yourself some more because this is the only vacation you are gonna get which means the playstation network has to go down for your whole f@cking vacation. This made me almost laugh as I have been pissed as hell since 4/20.

[SemiProJoe]

Thanks for posting my video guys! Glad most of you could get a laugh out of it! :]

[stuntman_mike]

has there been a hitler psn outrage yet lol.

[lee_ten]

that was funny.

[Godmars290]

So that's why it took them so long to notice in the first place...

[Mister_G]

God of War 3 looks awesome!

Still haven't played it, thought it might be too much of a button basher, but might risk it :)

[Bowzabub]

Lol... It all makes sense now. Sony employees are too busy playing God of War III again to fix PSN.

[devilhunterx]

KB was playing God of War 3. You know, an OFFLINE game.
