Beyond the It’sa Me Mario!, you have to admit that the sounds in Nintendo’s 1st-party games are often pretty silly. Comedian Gus Johnson takes a stab at envisioning exactly how they came up with all those sounds in the recording studio.

If you’ve ever been involved in a student film – or any amateur film shoot, you’ll easily relate to Gus Johnson’s parody sketch. He perfectly captures the frustrations of the day, from the lack of direction, to the terrible production techniques, to the endless waiting around due to poor planning.

We’ve been guilty of walking away from our desk while still tethered to a computer by headphones, so the subject matter of this clip is all too familiar around here. But as he’s known to do with most of his skits, Gus Johnson takes things to the Nth-degree.
