It seems to be a parody of those old 1980's video game review shows like GamePro (yes, the magazine actually had a show at one point), and a few others I forget the name of.
Not bad... and yeah, the first half of that particularly definitely did a good job of copying that style. All it was missing was the garish color combinations that were popular then... :)
The 'ROB goes evil' thing does seem to be a somewhat overdone joke these days though, it is a common one. I mean, it's obvious where it comes from, it's the 'robots hating humans' thing, and it was well done, but it was nothing new. Still, it was funny. The best part was the parody of that '80s/early '90s style, though... though I think they may have gone a bit overboard with the camera movement, even those mid '90s Nintendo videos didn't bounce around quite that much! It did make it funny, but kind of hard to watch... which was the point of course I'm sure, so it was great. :)
Yeah the ROB goes evil thing was even kinda done in Smash Bros Brawl, though he wasn't quite evil there, just protecting his friends.
Anyway, did you notice all the 80's stuff all over the place, like the Vanilla Ice and Turtles posters? One of them was even wearing a shirt that said, with icons, "Cut, it, out", ala Full House.
The raw INTENSITY! People don't do intensity like this any more. Now you're only cool if you strip yourself of all concerns and basically become an empty apathetic shell of a human being.

That was just awesome stuff, right to the PSA at the end... brilliant work!
Evidently the mid '90s continued into the early '00s... yes, this is a real ad.
