Ever played Mortal Kombat?

It was serious business for kids and teens in the 90’s. Absurdly seriously, in my circle of friends it was a big deal being the best at Mortal Kombat. Check out this YouTube video (with 9,000,000 views) which has a bunch of inside jokes that former Mortal Kombat players will totally get:

Here’s a list of stuff they make fun of which I’ve always found amusing:

  1. The announcer, who the heck was that guy anyways?
  2. Over the top sound effects
  3. The characters
  4. squatting punches (and jumping to avoid them)
  5. Absurd fighting moves
  6. Disco quality of the MK song

Noticed more funny stuff? Post it in a comment.

UPDATED: See first paragraph for the 2 letter strikethrough I made…tiny grammar issue.
