Video Game Parody Art

I know that parody of any kind is very popular.  Video games are no different.  There are all sorts from screenshots that are faithful to the games they are parodying to ones that resembles something we all know but don't really follow the game's feel / vibe.

But this post is about my foray into box art parody or cover art parody.  I recently stumbled upon a few pieces of parody art that I thought were decently funny at concept, if not delivery.  After much deliberation with friends, the idea of doing a portal parody came up.  There was then much more deliberation on what should be conveyed in this parody.  What is contained is the result of this debate:

Lol.

At first I thought it had to do with weightlifting.

That is hilarious! Well done it really looks convincing

Heh. Kind of funny

Playing Portal was a pain akin probably to that of taking one up the ass...good job representing the experience!

There are a bunch of box art parodies on this site.  Check them out if you're interested.

Woot!  This got more (positive) responses than I was expecting!  I can see how this could be misunderstood at first glance too, it is too late to fix it as I have already submitted it but I will keep that in mind for next time.

Also, thank you PenguinDust.  I don't know how I didn't think to check Worth1000 out!  A lot of those are really good and funny haha!

i don't think i quite get it. is it the stick going through the portal into the back of him? i kind of think thats what it is. when i first saw it i thought it was weight lifting or something like that.

Just remember, It's not gay if it's your own.

One grip, which I feel compelled to add. When something goes through a portal, it doesn't make a 'miniportal' on entry and exit.
