Japanese eroge My Girlfriend Is the President might not come with a pair of G-Cup breasts, but it does come with an absurdly entertaining trailer.
You might think that the best part about the trailer for eroge My Girlfriend Is the President is the ridiculous story: An alien ship crashes on Earth and in doing so kills the Prime Minister of Japan. In order to cover it up, the aliens replace him with a USA-style President – in this case an underage-looking girl who just so happens to have the last name “Obama” (which actually is a real Japanese surname) – and brainwashes the entire planet to make everybody okay with it.
And President Obama (the Japanese girl one, not the real one) must tangle with Russian President Putin (only it’s Elena Vladimirovna Putin, who is considerably more shapely and attractive) in order to avert national incidents. Oh, and since it’s an eroge, there will be sex involved with multiple characters. Your guess is as good as mine on that front.
But no, that’s not the best part – it’s only the third best. The first best part of the trailer is the absolutely hilarious English voice-over, which starts out calm and pleasant enough but quickly shifts into an overly serious, gritty Don LaFontaine-style movie trailer tone of voice. It makes me giggle, it really, really does.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, the second best part is this fan-made video that takes the game’s opening and replaces it with real-life political figures like the Pope, the actual President Obama and former President Putin, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. That would be a considerably different (and significantly more mentally scarring) eroge.
True, this isn’t the most absurdly hilarious trailer for a Japanese game we’ve ever seen – that honor still belongs to Metal Wolf Chaos and is unlikely to be topped any time soon – it’ll probably still get a chuckle out of you nonetheless.
