James and I were talking about all the big E3 trailers the other day and something occurred to us. Well, mostly to him, but I totally had a load of good ideas about it. Skip forward two days and several hours of editing, and we have this...

Hope you enjoy! Sorry I don't come on as much as I used to. FirstPlay's fault.

Cool vid. Welcome back, they always come back.

Hah, my friend and I were discussing the boat trend at E3 this year too, nicely done!

Except maybe James, who's forgotten his password...

Interested to know, if you knew that music before the idea came up?

Yes we did! I very recently spent an entire lunch hour watching all The Lonely Island's music back to back.

Actually, that's a good point. This really was the E3 of boats!

Despite my British sensibilities being outraged by all this mummy strawberry floating, that was actually extremely well put together.

Boats - 2011's equivalent of jungles. And before that grey buildings.

Oh, don't know what it is and I have no desire to find out.

Its really gooseberry fool. Maybe its supposed to be gooseberry fool, but I don't want to listen to it ever again I'm afraid.

Ah - shame. They're a parody rap act, starring SNL's Andy Samberg (who did Mark Wahlberg talks to the animals).

It's really brilliantly done.

Yeah I assumed it was a parody, but I just didn't think it was funny, might as well be a real rap act.

Some of their stuff strikes more of a chord than others. Musically I agree, there's barely a difference. Watch it with their video rather than our daft knock-off and it'll hopefully make more sense Making pastiche of the gun/car/luxury fetish of rap idiots. MUTHERFUCKING BOAT.

Boo! I have a shirt with I'm On A Boat on. Love The Lonely Island, got both their CDs.

Also, cool vid. I lol'd at Lara being shown during "I fuuuucked aaaa meeeermaaaaiiid".

Yeah I get it, I just have to actually like the music as well in order for me to be into something like that.

Flight of the Conchords for example...excellent.

Wow, there were almost as many boats at E3 as there were HD remakes / re-releases.

Boats must be the new thing.

Nice video (and CHOON!).

Boats.

Very well made. I didn't notice it myself but now that you mention it I can really see it.

Great vid, awful potty mouthed music.

Brilliant.
