'Can you throw a plasma grenade at the dog?'

It would be something, wouldn't it? To bring Master Chief home to meet your folks, your nerdy brother and.. the dog. This HERE funny video shows your regular American family with the daughter's boyfriend attending the family dinner. The only thing wrong with the whole scenario isn't even the fact that the daughter's boyfriend is Master Chief...

Not even Master Chief's handing the brother a grenade to toss on the next-door neighbor's lawn, or the Chief throwing a plasma grenade at the dog. It's because Chief is Jewish! Say wha...? Master Chief... no wait, the Spartan is Jewish? OK, whatever?

Not only is he Jewish, but he's been adopted. His parents don't have a clue, cuddling a clone on the other side of the galaxy, but Chief doesn't let the emotions get to him, and I'll bet he would really fancy some mashed potatoes if it hadn't been for that wretched helmet.

Oh and that helmet, eh. The 6 feet tall armored individual standing on the porch as mom and dad open the door doesn't exactly strike anyone as a 1000 pound highly trained Spartan, does it? Don't tell me I'm seeing things, I know what Master Chief looks like, and I know what a genuine Spartan armor looks like too. That's no genuine Spartan armor, I can tell you this much.

The helmet is clearly misshaped, while the actor himself is too skinny for even a 300 pound highly trained soldier, not to mention 1000 pounds. Of course there's the armor color (which quite frankly there's no way in hell anyone can reproduce), and the weapon... What am I doing here? Who said it had to be that accurate, anyway? It's the scenario that counts. Why, they could have dressed the guy up as Santa for all anyone cares, the grenade tossing still would have cracked a few people up.

We're not here to criticize, but to enjoy one of the funniest Mad TV videos ever. Thanks spikedhumor.com for lighting up the day.
