I give you: "Yuri the Only One"

Don't worry, despite what the title might imply, it's completely work safe. And hey, I wouldn't post it here if it was inappropriate.

Anyway, the more you enjoy this video/are amused by it/find it funny, the more of a nerd you are. Plain and simple.

See how many references you can spot. There are a lot.

[krbe 193]

Except for the obvious ones (like mentioned in the text), I didn't find anyone. I guess that's a good sign

Besides, it's drawn in that Japanese still style I despise. I usually don't do anything else than being annyoed; even when I'm told to look for references.

[Duke87 1,070]

Okay, let's see how much I can exhaust this.

First of all, the bad name "The LeetStreet Boys" is an obvious rip off of The Backstreet Boys. With "Leet" (or "|337") being a form of typing which involves replacing letters with similar-looking numbers and punctuation.

Like a Persocom I'm teaching youquote>

In Chobits, "Persocom" is a computerized android.

Like a pokemon I Pikachuquote>

I think everyone knows what Pokemon is. But some may not have caught that "pikachu" is playing on "peek at you" here.

Like Mario and Peach, I'm never reaching youquote>

In the original Super Mario Bros, the first seven times you seemingly finish the game, you don't. "The princess is in another castle".

Like Gundam Seed you're my destinyquote>

In reference to the anime Gundam SEED Destiny.

Like Ed I lust for your alchemyquote>

Reference to Fullmetal Alchemist.

I get a lightning kick from you just like Chun Liquote>

In Street Fighter, Chun Li is one of the main recurring characters and the lightening kick is her signature move.

For Yuna and Zelda and Chi I'd do anythingquote>

Yuna is a character from Final Fantasy. Zelda is the princess from Legend of Zelda. Chi is a Persocom from Chobits.

For Yui I'd do anythingquote>

Yui could potentially mean any one of a few Japanese celebrities, or a character from Neon Genesis Evangelion. In this case it was likely chosen since it sounds similar to "you"

In addition, note that the guitar the guy is playing here is a Guitar Hero guitar, not a real one.

Yuri the only one for me

Try so hard to make you seequote>

Yuri is a common Japanese girl's name, though it can also mean lesbian anime porn. In this case it was no doubt used since it sounds similar to "you're".

Yuri the only one for me

Priceless like a PS3quote>

The Playstation 3 is known for being expensive and was in short supply shortly after its launch.

Yuri the only one for me

You and I make Nintendo Wiiquote>

A play on "you and I make we". Some with dirtier minds may also take it to imply something else.

Will together be WoW level 70quote>

Level 70 is the highest possible level in World of Warcraft.

Let's pwn some n.00bs goin' PvPquote>

In common netspeak, "pwn" is a variation on "own", meaning "to defeat easily, skillfully, or by a huge margin". "N.00b", short for "newbie" is a condescending term for an inexperienced person.

"PvP" is short for "Player versus Player", a game mode which pits human players against each other instead of against game AI.

Let's limit break Final Fantasyquote>

A "limit break" is a game mechanic in Final Fantasy where once you receive a certain amount of damage you can unleash a ridiculously overpowered attack.

Won't tri-to-force you Twilight Princess, can't you see?quote>

The Triforce is a recurring symbol in the Legend of Zelda games (the three triangles seen in the video). Twilight Princess is the latest installment in said series.

[krbe 193]

As I said, I only got (some) of the obvious ones mentioned in the text (like the name, Pokemon, Zelda [not PvP at once; I can't remember I've played any games with such a mode], that silly text, Final Fantasy [only heard of the game, know nothing about the concept], and WoW [though I have no ideas of the levels in the game]). Although I of course saw the most obvious plays, it still annoys me... Japan... Drawers...

[simsmart 1]

Oh No!

Simtrop is Nerdifying me! lolz

[Explodingsims 3]

I got some of the subtle refrences, mostly the FFX and Full Metal Alchemist ones...

I thought it was a movie about Red Alert 2....

(The Most powerful enemy in the game is Yuri, a guy with mind control powers)

Oh, I'm the wrong kind of nerd to appreciate such a video. No Spider-Man references? No JLA? No Avengers? No *gaspandhorrors* STAR WARS references???? No thank you.

Still, a rather clever bit of editing and songwriting for those who enjoy it!

Point. It is quite (for lack of a better term) "Wapanese". Imported nerd material, not domestic nerd material.

Considering that it's obviously in reference to a girl, I doubt that was the intent.

[SimRabbit 48]

Wow I feel like a loser by watching that video........ I should go outside alot more.

This was assumed before I saw it, not after...I just though that since 

A.) I didn't know Yuri was a Japanese Girl name

B.) You said it wasn't inapproprate, so I figured no Lesbians...._dangit

So in retrospect, I should have said, I thought it would be about RA2

[Kiwi n Grapes 2]

That was disturbing....

[fern244 1]

That must've taken a while to make..
