Imitation is the Sincerest Form of....

No one has made more of a mark on 4PP than Bradford Simons. His name is synonymous with success and he single handedly spread the word about us to millions in one moment of greatness. I'd like to take the time to remember what he has accomplished and how many he has inspired.




How did you do it Brad?
It really was a miracle.....

I must say the imitations weren't very funny...at all. Except for the part where he got hit by a car in the end of one of the vids, but it's awesome to know people are inspired by Mr. Brad.

yeah the end of the 1st video, when he's hit by the taxi was amusing. But to does show what 4pp had done.. :)

Wow, those were so bad that they bought me to tears in laughter. But if people are going to imitate a rather mediocre and random moment of Brad in GTA IV they could at least get it right aka more higher shouting, right actualy scooters/mopeds, robin of locksley quote and so on. But as you say, it is showing there are people who enjoy and appreciate 4PP/Brad enough to start reinacting moments. That or they're trying to whore in on the popularity.

I'm surprised how famous SB got in the first place. Same goes with the more recent L4D Failed Plan highlight. Yet people still don't even know about 4Player Podcast. *sigh* But hey, it's bringing in more fans, and 4PP is always growing.

*sniff* Wear it proudly, Brad. Seriously, the guy has been so much funnier and deeper than in these silly videos. And while his infamous Fatal Frame vids were the original and perfect foundation that brought a lasting fan base to this site, there's always been so much more to his boisterous charisma and inimitable humor.

Let me buy you a pizza of appreciation. Now is Brad really a Bradford or a Bradley?

I reclon the main difference between when brad and these people did it, is that brad used a funny voice, these guys sound like they're just using their normal voices

12 year olds, gah!

Notice how BOTH of those videos were made by 10 year olds who think they're clever.

I HATE PEOPLE.

It's sad. I was on some other JTV channel recently (forget the name) and the girl there kept re-using jokes from 4pp and using "chatch" as her go-to insult.

its almost sad as to how little newcomers know about 4pp besides whats on youtube

Wow, this is really bad. Some kids need to learn how to shut up. Immaturity sucks.

This meme actually got even bigger since the last time I've seen it. It was at 1,5mill the last time now it's at 2,25 mill. Just to show how much it's easy for someone to make the whole world laugh. Heck, I even find myself saying that "scooter brother" sometime. But my most favorite is still "Gary Seniste!!!" if it's spell that way.
