[VIDEO] Wish List - Comedy Shorts on G.I.Joe: The Rise of Cobra Blu-ray

All right. I actually went to the movies this past weekend to see G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. It was… fun. I had fun. I honestly wasn’t expecting to enjoy myself at all, so, you know what? I guess I’m satisfied with it. Maybe all it takes to please me in my old age is Sienna Miller in a black wig and some ninja fights. Yeah, that sounds about right…

I may have been in love with the toys, the comics and the cartoon when I was growing up but in recent years I’ve found myself more attracted to G.I Joe parodies than anything else. In fact, with the absence of new toys or TV shows, it was the comedy shorts that seemed to be keeping the franchise alive in the public mind. And by the public mind, I mean my mind.

With the new film in the theatres, Funny or Die has decided to offer us a look at what the Joes and their Cobra enemies do on a night off. I’ve got to thank Rob over at Topless Robot for posting this video clip. It made my day today. Not only is it hilarious but it’s star studded! Look at the cast:

• Alexis Bledel as Lady Jaye
• Billy Crudup as Zartan
• Zach Galifiankais as Snow Job
• Tony Hale as Dr. Mindbender
• Vinnie Jones as Destro
• Joey Kern as Tomax and Xamot
• Chuck Liddell as Gung Ho
• Julianne Moore as Scarlett
• Henry Rollins as Duke
• Alan Tudyk as Shipwreck
• Olivia Wilde as The Baroness

I would absolutely love to see this comedy short added to the eventual Blu-ray disc release of the film. And why not throw on those re-cut PSAs from a few years back. And some Robot Chicken, while we’re at it. And…and…THIS amazing, bizarre thing:
