Watch Princess Robot Bubblegum Anime in GTA: Gay Tony

The latest Ballad of Gay Tony trailer skewers anime with advertisements for a new in-game TV series called Princess Robot Bubblegum.


Now, I like my fair share of anime, but I also recognize that as a medium, it can be ... well, silly at times. There's lots of stuff there to mock, and mocking satire is what Rockstar does best. So, we get Princess Robot Bubblegum, a story about a hypersexualized nymphomaniac who gets tied up by tentacle monsters, transforms into a robot with boobie-missiles, and who is trained in ninja combat.

Yeah, that sounds about right to me.

Princess Robot Bubblegum is one of the new in-game TV shows that will be watchable in Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony, which hits shelves (and digital distribution) this Thursday.

Yeah, that's a pretty good portrayal of anything not on before midnight. All the daytime stuff is this without the obvious fan service.

Does anyone know what the entire "bad translation" phrase is? I can make out "Dead body freezer..." then it sounds like "mog stelophan."

That is an awesome video. I love just how accurate all of the portrayals are for most of the translations and fan service...

This is just another reason for me to pick this game up once I get the money for a system.

That's hilarious.

But I never really got into GTA...
Yea, but that's the point! If there was no GTA logo in the entire film it would still make you laugh!

They just have their ad in there so it tempts you to buy it and watch more of this craziness!

After hearing all the adverts for this in the game, I want to see the whole show they do for it.

...

If they bring out PRBG figures, they'd make a fortune. Anime is self-satirizing at its best.

Obviously it's far too base for me to wonder about the channels acronym, what it stands for and who it satirizes.

Seriously Rockstar, there's definitely marketing potential there.

GTA cracks me up. I still love the hillybilly halo parody...

But to be honest, if I actually could get the DLC for GTA IV, I wouldn't be spending a lot of time watching TV.
