Hasselhoff Flogs Self for C&C: Red Alert 3

Ironic humor and retro kitsch are damn near reaching critical mass, and are in danger of imploding completely if this recent campaign for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is any indication. Featuring an obviously soused David Hasselhoff, this fake infomercial features plenty of self effacing comedy, irreverent explosions and dolphins. Try as he may, Hasselhoff will top this. These do have some funny stuff and are worth it to see if you're tracking the gaming industry:

Here's irony and nostalgia done right. It's from a pilot by Ben Stiller, Rob Schrab, Jack Black and Owen Wilson about a super intelligent astronaut (Black) and his only friend - a talking motorcycle (Wilson). Enjoy.
