Video of the Day: Pokemon Day in the Park

Earlier this week, on a perfectly unassuming Tuesday, comedy group Olde English headed to Bryant Park to film a sketch. Only something big and yellow was standing in their way: The huge Pikachu balloon from the Thanksgiving Parade. Yes, Pokemon took over Bryant Park for its 10th Anniversary - complete with Pokemon Video Game National Championships and Hulk Hogan (is it because Hulk's color is yellow, same as Pikachu?) - heck, even Mayor Bloomberg proclaimed it Pokemon Day. So Olde English scrapped their original plans and just embraced their inner Pokemon Masters and filmed a video about it. You can see it above or via a higher-quality version on Olde English's website. Pika Pika!

Joystiq reported about Pokemon Day with lots of pictures.

By "higher-quality," do you mean "funnier?"

Man, that was long. Shoah had bigger laughs. And fewer puns.
