D.C. Smackdown Parodies Politicians & Pundits

D.C. Smackdown Parodies Politicians & Pundits

December 4, 2007
John McCain battling Anne Coulter? 

Hillary Clinton vs. Bill O'Reilly?

It could happen in D.C. Smackdown.

Former Disney animator Dave Holbrook's new PC parody allows players to stage 16 levels of comedic combat. The game's 17 recognizable characters include politicians, pundits and celebrities. As with most fighting games, each character possesses a signtaure move. Hillary Clinton, for example, can employ the "Intern Trample," while Bill O'Reilly can rely on the "No Spin Zone".

Holbrook, of Orlando-based AdrenaLAN Studios, commented on his game:
DC Smackdown is a hilarious video game full of backstabbing, low blows and lying politicians. It's just like the real thing, only smaller. But remember everyone might like Ron Paul but only in DC Smackdown will he ever be the President.

D.C. Smackdown costs $4.99 to download. I haven't tried it so I cannot offer a recommendation one way or the other. However a demo trailer can be viewed at the game's website.

Coulters not worth getting angry about. She's a poison pen moron. And before anyone says I'm being "liberally biased" I feel the same way about Micheal Moore.
Is stephen colbert in there? Please tell me he's in there.

Recently I wondered who would win the election if it came down to Stephen Colbert on the Democrats (assuming he got the ballot) and Ron Paul on the republicans. If I could play a game where those two men beat the crap out of each other that would be the next best thing.
Well it's no different from when Stephen Colbert's Mii beat the crap out of a Mii Nancy Pelosi in Wii Boxing.
Hmm, this might make a great X-mas gift for some friends up in Tallahassee. I hope this catches on and we some videos of epic fights on YouTube.

Now, time to buckle down and wait for the cuckoos to show up and spew molten crazy all over the place.
Ha, cute. But the character selection seems a little poor.

Ann Coulter? A shame that vindictive and disgusting lunatic of a woman made the game over the likes of Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, Joe Biden, and Dennis Kucinich! They also left out the media figureheads of each side: Limbaugh and Moore.
That's not Jackie in the trailer, is it? If you can play as John Bruce, I will definitely get that game.
Hillary versus Bill O.

Finally!
Ron Paul , Huckabee and Oprah are hidden characters that you unlock as you play the game. Ron Pauls special is awesome, its called FREEDOM and it involves Braveheart type characters crushing your opponent. I was playing it all last night and Jessie Jackson is hilarious!
If Hillary and Bill O. are made to fight to the death, who wins?

The answer: everyone.
beat up Ann Coulter

WHERE DO I SIGN UP?!
All politicians are worth being angry about.
For some reason, that actually looks like it might be fun to pay.
I'd love to see a side-scrolling beat-em-up in the same genre.
Paul: I wouldn't be too worried about being criticized for insulting Anne Coulter. Does anyone actually like that woman?
Unfortunately it looks like it plays terrible.
Somebody port the characters to MUGEN.
@Fathre Time
I would play as Stephen Colbert as well as voting for him in real life :P.
I was hoping someone from Green Day or RATM would make an apperance, oy. Also the ACLU and Moveon.org---They would kick some nice ass despite their checkered past! And just because she's awesome enough to be our president, I demand Haruhi Suzumiya be put in. That way her special would be playing the most bitchin' rock songs(God Knows...; Lost My Music) known to man(Yes, they're that good) in a Bunny Girl outfit.
Stephen Colbert is in the game but he is used in an attack by John Stewart. We literally flip a coin to decide wether Stewart or Colbert would be in the game and it came up Stewart. Then low and behold 4 weeks out from final beta Colbert decides to run for president, somethings you just can't predict.

Hope everyone enjoys the game and I guarantee Hillary's "Intern Trample" attack will make you laugh.
@Benji

About your Hillary vs. Bill O. question...

No, it would be just like Alien Vs. Predator...
Whoever wins... we lose.
so with the AVP comment its like our current presidential ellection 2008 is gunna be hell.

Brokenscope: No they can't legally drink. But the bars near most bases don't give a fuck.

Dark Sovereign: I have one question: Why are soldiers constantly treated as victims and children?

ZippyDSMlee: Dark Sovereign:force them into the wilderness to die off...this is the reality of not taking into account what to do with the lower classes.
Posted 08/29/08 at 10:26am
Dark Sovereign: @zip: What are you talking about? Less government means less taxes. Less taxes means more money in average Joe's pockets.

ZippyDSMlee: Dark Sovereign: you DO realize there were roving shanty towns and poor hosues before social secuty was started? they were hives for poverty and disease,hell with todays "cleanliness" in housing code you can not have them anymore and states will just forc
Posted 08/29/08 at 10:22am
ZippyDSMlee: Dark Sovereign: noobies and their silly definition ^_~, but I ahve to ask how do you keep millions off the streets, taking twice as much money from states without social security and health care?
Posted 08/29/08 at 10:22am
Dark Sovereign: You ASSUME that not giving tons of handouts to people will make them poor. America itself shows you are wrong.
