I hesitate to bring this up, but if you’ve never heard or seen the Star Wars Kid, you should look him up. The poor portly guy was caught on tape doing what just about every male adolescent has surreptitiously done since Star Wars came out in 1977… he was imitating a light saber battle. More specifically, he was pretending to be Darth Maul from Episode I. He’s the ugly guy with the double light saber staff thing. Our good SWK, though, was using a golf ball retriever and, well, when you see his skills, it’s obvious that the Force is not strong in this one.

When you watch the original video, it’s funny but you also kinda feel sorry for him. He is, in fact, suing the kids who found his tape and uploaded it the web. However, when you look at the editing that people have done with him, it’s just the funniest thing out there. You can find some of the clips here and here. I think the Dork Clones edit is my favorite.
