[Mustkunstn1k]

Eating the sun, eh? Challenge accepted.

[hammeramr]

[painokitos]

[AllsortPassport]

[XxrobbyxX7622]

[TheSplashy123]

this is shit!!!!

[cruelbusiness1984]

mkay. not exactly funny but mayb I missed the point

[Snootwaller]

Now I want to know... how do you defeat Lou Reed's LASER eyes and solve the impossible level???

[jacktheripperrules]

@Snootwaller you dont THATS WHY ITS IMPOSSIBLE!! :P

[SlamJaw]

Lou Reed is an asshole even in video games

[28335]

This was the most that I have laughed in a long time! Why isn't this viral?

[jacobcoolio]

ok...........

[animegx45]

I actually beat this this level. lol

[Terastas]

That would have been funny as hell -- a truly memorable quote if there ever was one -- if only they'd gotten someone with a personality to do the "eating the sun" line.

[DemonicMuffinMan]

THEY JUST LOST THE GAME

[3011remaerdyad]

What... did I just watch

[glitchesandglitter]

your too cool for us lou!

[Sirenhound]

LOL winning the nobel prize? very difficult?

Lou Reed forgot to tell Obama.

[smegger2]

I was on set during the Lou Reed taping. It was my first week working at Absolute. Talk about a great first week. So Lou Reed walks in, and everyone is in awe. He does the reading, but instead of doing it like it's written, he starts ad-libbing... "This is the impossible level, dog sh*t", etc... I think he was just messing with us, but no one wanted to tell him he couldn't say that. Finally, he was persuaded to read the prompter, and that's what you see in this video.

[smegger2]

Hey everyone. I worked on the game. This was the main game... there were also several mini-games. This part had 2 levels, normal and impossible. And yes, the impossible level is a joke... mocking video games that include "impossible levels" that are possible to beat. In this game, the impossible level really is impossible :)

[axemahn]

1995 and a game this awesome and inventive existed?

[fukyous]

lolwut

[tjv323]

what the hell

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

@tjv323 It's like Lou Reed said, "Very difficult is winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Impossible is eating the sun."

[fleabag500]

when i say cermenoy i mean ceremony. Obviously.

[fleabag500]

don't mean to be a dick, mr reed, but you dont win THE Nobel prize you win A Nobel prize. There are many different categories and numerous winners each cermenoy.

[Cinj216]

@fleabag500 Wrong. You can win the Nobel Prize just as you can win the Pulitzer Prize and the Academy Award.

[violinist86]

actually it is quite easy to win the nobel prize, just be black!

[synth77]

why did lou reed blow them up?

[surgeyX]

Holy fuck, this was an actual game!? Wow.

[911lex]

heeheehee. Penn has this minor thing about Lou Reed. But apparently there's a song Lou Reed did that referred to P&T, so I guess it all works out.

[guitars357]

THIS GAME IS ALMOST AS GOOD AS DESERT BUS!!!!

[hilterhilter]

Every videogame ends with Lou Reed!

[TheEdenEye]

I always did hate the mode 'impossible'. It doesn't make any sense.

[TBTabby]

@TheEdenEye This is one of those deconstruction games, like You Only Live Once and Upgrade Complete.

[sulfura3]

@TheEdenEye It might be a reference to games having an "impossible" mode that is still possible. Here, it clearly is impossible, no matter how hard you try.

[tugteen]

What's the normal version of the level look like?

[z0mgz0rs]

.......WTF?

[poopskinTheLiar]

Well, it was called Impossible. what did you expect?

[JoeDeceiver]

Nice digital version of 'Sweet Jane' there! Hahaha.

[Ninjamonkey767]

that looks like a messed up game

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

@Ninjamonkey767 What do you expect from Penn & Teller?

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Lou Reed is too cool, even for Penn & Teller.

[wildhobby]

It isn't a case of eating the sun it's more a question of the size of the spoon - and as we know, there is no spoon! :-P

[togsniper]

@wildhobby lol!! absolutely!

[TheRougeStallion]

and that's how penn and teller became heads in jars for the 4th futurama movie :P

[spamerman]

Its not impossible to eat the sun, Dr. Manhattan did it.

[Daclunator]

and so did brian boitano!

[j0ey123abc9]

DA FUC............

[carlosMIA1994]

i really wanna see someone lets play this...

[GeriatricFan1963]

Totally random, LOL!

[Zomgwtfbbq1228]

eating the sun LOL

[sonic371]

i prefer my sun in chili with 9,000,000 habanero peppers but thats just me

[BlueChipNinja]

What?!!! 9,000,000? IMPOSSIBLE!

[kittenen]

That's over 9000!!!!!

[Vinny0151]

what the hell just happened?

[sonic371]

exactly what i was thinking

[KingKool2099]

i ate the sun once but i got hartburn lol rofl

[KarinMikazuki]

so how do you beat the game? O.o

[Shinkada]

You don't. You only lose.

In fact, you just did.

[ramsinvegas]

fuck you. i hadn't lost in over a month

[AbsalomPitchingfork]

Goddamn you all. This is my revenge.

[KarinMikazuki]

I really didnt deserve all those insults, but your answear about an impossible -difficulty still makes no sense to someone that didnt play the game as the video title states "The Impossible Level"

[DandMrB]

i never played that game and i somehow understood that impossible means impossible...

they even had a video clip that explained it in simple english

so dont blame me when people think your fucking stupid as shit when you obviously have issues grasping simple concepts

[KarinMikazuki]

while your immaturity is evident, you still didnt answear my completely valid point..

im not gonna bother with you anymore, dont really wanna feed the trolls

[KonamiFan97]

@DandMrB The idea is to play pranks on your friends, not play it yourself.

[gamewarrior2216]

It isn't very difficult for Obama apparently.

[matchgum09]

is this a real game that would be sweet

[kingcrimson234]

yes it is but it was never released since absolute entertainment went out of business in 1995 just before it went on sale.

[sidian86]

So I am assuming you can't beat this level?

[ronnoceel]

"impossible is eating the sun." loled at that.

[kingofkards91]

Are there any ROMs of this game online?

[CaptChrisT]

lol omg! but the normal mode is impossible I cant figure it out

[Orangeflava]

i want to play this game!!!

[IoEstasCedonta]

Lou Reed kills them with bolts of electricity.

There's a pun in that.

[timestarvedcd]

It's a bolt out of the lou...

[lunaehmaz]

I dunno wtf I just watched, but I loved it.

[MarcusTheReverent]

wait is this an actual game?

[Gamingnerd]

yes it is, but it was never released. Only the ISO image of the game is available.

[regularmagnolia]

Ooooh, awesome, someone leaked the unfinished game? Yay!

[regularmagnolia]

"the never-released Sega-CD game Smoke & Mirrors starring Penn & Teller. This game was fully completed yet never released, which is unfortunate to say the least since it's an amazing game! Well designed, innovative use of the genesis controller with single-player and multi-player (sort of) games. Truly a shame it never came out"

[mzxrules]

only problem was that Sega-CD was a turd.

Also, STARFOX 2 (SNES)

[corthew]

You didn't watch the video OR read the description?

That's just sad dude.

You shouldn't comment on things you don't know anything about.

[Mysterious0Bob]

No, its not "unfinished". It was ready for release.

[morton360]

can i please have the link?

[One6Mafia]

@Gamingnerd Why Wasn't it released?

[Gamingnerd]

@One6Mafia Absolute Entertainment, the publisher, went out of business before they could release the game.

[44automag117]

@Gamingnerd I Have both cds of this it came with my sega cd it said, on aburned disk, [Unraleased Game]

(insane) Penn and Teller disk 1 and then there was disk 2

[LufsyLurqy]

What console? Genesis? SNES? PC?

[Gamingnerd]

Sega CD

[JimmyBrus]

Where do you download this?

[PompadourSamurai]

oh lol

[pwgcomingsoon]

The last bit with the animation from a video clip is actually kind of creepy.

[halfasemitone]

What year was this?

[Gamingnerd]

Unreleased game, was supposed to be released April of '95

[MrWednesday101]

That is amazingly funny!

[gkaykck]

just amazing

[Lamnont]

That's hilarious.

[trakkaton]

Ha, I *did* eat the sun!

[TripleLei]

I love how Penn's severed head looks up to see Teller's severed head...

[TwistedLace]

haha! I want this game soooo bad...Is using torrents the only way?

[Sayaleen]

Sooo...wot's this game? :O

[Gamingnerd]

This is an unreleased game for the Sega CD (oooohhhh!! :O) that's compiled of various weird mini-game's that have very little playability to them, except for this oneee game that can be beaten in 8 hours straight called "Desert Bus" :x You beat the game, you get 1 point! =D
