PrintUFC 141 is headlined by a returning Brock Lesnar taking on a debuting Alistair Overeem. To hype fans for the fight, the UFC has adopted a guerrilla marketing campaign utilizing the GI Joe clips that so many of us know and love. As a child who grew up watching GI Joe I appreciate the use of these clips.
The first clip uses Brock Lesnar's famous post-fight interview after he beat up Frank Mir.
Kids: Brock Lesnar!
Brock Lesnar: Can you see me now?
Kids: Yes.
Brock Lesnar: CAN YOU SEE ME NOW!?
Kids: Yesss.
Brock Lesnar: Frank Mir had a horseshoe up his ass. I pulled that sumbitch out and beat him over the head with it....WOOOOOOOO!!!!
The Overeem interview uses Alistair's discussion on how he put on muscle mass with a horse meat diet.
Kid: Overeem. Overeem!
Alistair Overeem: The best protein is horse meat.
Kid: Horse meat?
Alistair Overeem: Horse meat. I eat at 9 o'clock in the morning. 10 o'clock in the morning. Then immediately after training I eat big and then I eat before I go to bed. Then when I wake up I eat again. But it's not only horse meat. It's also toilet paper.
Kid: Toilet paper?
Alistair Overeem: Toilet paper.
Here's to hoping that the UFC continues to use guerrilla marketing campaigns to promote fights. Bonus points to you if you can name the GI Joe characters and episodes that these clips were taken from.

Brock's was funnier.

I think he must of turned his swagger switch on as soon as his feet left the ground.

I’d say a blend of the two is accurate

How in the world is this a "guerrilla marketing campaign"?
It’s a fan made video on a non-UFC channel, even the top comment on the video realizes this.

Obviously that top comment is wrong then.
Look at what this piece says, that is proof.
Oh my god, I really hope they keep doing these.
The ‘original’ GI Joe PSA remakes were some of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on the interwebs.
I don't get why he eats toilet paper?
Did he say why he does that? Does he claim it clean out his intestines or something? If so, I’ve got a nice big roll in the bathroom with my name on it. Lunchtime!
A Snowjob sounds painful, unless your a polar bear.

Both of them were funny, and what is striking is that I never stopped to think about what these guys were saying in the original clip or interview. This Friday is going to be epic so I already ordered the fight in HD from my job at DISH. Lesnar and Overeem are both beasts that possess different skills so seeing them charge at each other is going to be quite the spectacle that will end 2011 in a bang!
