The Ballad of G.I. Joe

I’ve resisted the urge to post every mildly amusing geek-related video I come across–and I’m sure 99% of you have already seen this–but it was too amazing not to post. That’s one hell of a cast.

    Ive seen it like 20 times. It gets better every time.

    Wish this was the movie cast.

    So amazing.

    I will admit, Destro's costume looks the most foolish but otherwise… it's absolutely incredible.

    THEY EVEN GOT THE SNAKEEYES-SCARLET-DUKE LOVE FIASCO!

  3. americanhyena

    Ho. Ly. Crap.

    That was awesome!

  4. That was incredible! WOW. Coolest thing I've ever seen.

    They even got the Sarge to do a cameo!

  5. orionpax636

    I've never seen that. The Destro/Baroness scene was excellent and this is an ideal use for Chuck Liddell's time now that he's "retired."

  6. Dead Man Walking

    Damn! Olivia Wilde is an even HOTTER Baroness than Sienna Miller.

  7. Motorthing

    Yep, someone get this guy's casting list to the Producers of the Next Joe explosion fest "GIJoe:the rise in fan-boys shorts" cos she is too hot.

  8. Dark Angel

    Overwhelming. I think I experienced my first true nerd-gasm.

    Also, the Mindbender/Gung-Ho thing? Strangely sad and moving!

  9. elvis8batman

    Was that Julianne Moore playing Scarlett? (I'm watching it on my mates phone so its hard to see)

  10. Dark Angel

    …yes, it is.

    Partial cast, from Topless Robot:

    • Alexis Bledel as Lady Jaye

    • Billy Crudup as Zartan

    • Zach Galifiankais as Snow Job

    • Tony Hale as Dr. Mindbender

    • Vinnie Jones as Destro

    • Joey Kern as Tomax and Xamot

    • Chuck Liddell as Gung Ho

    • Julianne Moore as Scarlett

    • Henry Rollins as Duke

    • Alan Tudyk as Shipwreck

    • Olivia Wilde as The Baroness

  11. PrfktTear

    I was always a fan of the Dr. Smoov video, DESTRO featuring The Baroness- "Get Money"

  12. MldMnrdReporter

    So that's the other half of the battle.

    Knowing: 50%

    Music Video Montage: 50%

    I can sleep at night now.

  13. Ant

    Henry Rollins as Duke? badass

  14. The cast is impressive, but you have to wonder: Julianne Moore seriously had nothing better to do with her time? Most everyone else I can understand throwing in for this for one reason or another, but Julianne Moore?

  15. neoolong

    She's a big fan of GI Joe? Or she wanted a piece of Rollins.

  16. It's not that big of a deal. FunnyorDie gets all kinds of celebs. Big names, high level actors, etc. Moore probably did it for the same reasons others have.
