I keep hearing about the amazing wonder that is the Wii Fit. It’s a video game that helps you have FUN while you EXERCISE! Brilliant, yes?!
And yet… something seems a little off about the whole concept.
When I saw this parody on Youtube, it all came together. This spoof is a truly genius take on the actual Wii Fit commercial.
“Wii Fit combines the perfect balance of barely moving and doing mundane things.”

Wii are laughing hysterically!
I am excited that I found an alternative to that annoying hula hoop!
Great post :)

Oh my gosh! Loved it! My husband and I can’t wait to play “Get on and get off the little white thing.”

This is great! I don’t “get” the Wii- for exercise? What about actually going outside and running around, playing tag, etc. Too funny. :-)

The hula hoop part made me almost spit my drink out. Hilarious!

Haha that video did make me laugh. Guess no-one actually goes outside to play sport anymore.

Stick out your leg…and when you get tired of that, you can play, stick out your other leg. Very funny. But my favorite is the bit about letting your kids pretend to have balls thrown at their heads rather than actually going outside to play soccer. This is hilarious!

Yeah, that’s what I’m getting my hubby for Father’s Day. I’m sure wii will have some great stories!
June 9, 2008 at 6:44 am
That was too funny!
I particularly loved that part about saving $3 dollors by not buying a hoola-hoop!
June 9, 2008 at 6:48 am
That is so funny!!
Is it weird after watching that I still want one?
June 9, 2008 at 8:27 am
b.r.i.l.l.i.a.n.t.

This is hilarious!
I grabbed a Wii Fit the day they came out, but haven’t been able to use it yet (hurt ankle, sickness). My husband, though, is having a ton of fun with it. I swore I wouldn’t tell anyone, lol.
June 9, 2008 at 9:54 am
I will admit that I still want one, but that was hilarious! Thanks for sharing it!
June 9, 2008 at 10:50 am
noooooooo…it is gone. I can’t see it! ugh. Now I just have to imagine how funny it was and laugh anyway.
June 9, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Finally have a post worthy of your Make Me Laugh Monday!
We just got the Wii last month and we are officially addicted. We even have a timer by the TV so we don’t go overboard. Pathetic.
Happy Monday!
June 9, 2008 at 12:53 pm
Awesome!
Its kinda sad and kinda funny all at once.
June 9, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Hilarious! I love the hula hoop money analogy. Lol.
June 9, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Have you tried it? If you do it how they say to, it’s really a good workout, and fun. It’s nice for those of us who don’t have gym memberships, or kids old enough to play soccer with (or sunshine! :)).
June 10, 2008 at 4:08 pm
That was hilarious! But, I still love mine. While I don’t think I get a great workout, I’m really sore from faux hula hooping.

Back from camping & pooped.
