I'll pretend to shoot you. You pretend to die.

In the Sunday smorgasbord, I linked to a story of a man who was arrested after he pointed a toy gun at a baby and said "Pow, pow." Publicity about that story has prompted Redditors to post related items, including the story of "Bang Bang," an elderly, eccentric Dubliner who staged mock shoot-outs with people on the street, and a Japanese video in which people in Osaka react with good humor to pretend shooting.

But I encountered two videos that are even better. This one (with embedding disabled) stars Simon Pegg in what must be a television program called ?Spaced.

The other video is the one I've embedded above; it's an Xbox 360 commercial that reportedly was "banned." (?) It's funny.

addendum: Another Simon Pegg Spaced video is here, with slo-mo and Adagio for Strings as background. The pseudogunplay must be a recurrent meme in the program series.
