Yeah, I mean that guy is only famous for his voicework and then some rep gets him in Conan's face saying 'do your voice', with Conan proceeding to make fun of him ;(.

Conan didn't see Titanfall 
We need a "thinking about Bayonetta" one now too.
That was pretty funny! Poor Martinet getting the reality bomb
He is a very skilled voice actor. Guess who else he voiced recently

Dude is awesome
Indeed, I should have said xenophobic, my mistake.

The cracks on the Bayonetta cosplayer are awesome.

Capcom Vancouver clearly doesn't know how to optimize their games...the framerate was a problem in every version of Dead Rising 2.
Offensive is a better choice of words, but regardless this is Mario we're talking about.

Nintendo, taking advantage of everybody inherently afraid of Italian plumbers. It just isn't right.

Conan proves that you don't need skill to win in Mario Kart.
Do you think homophobic means 'scared' of gay people too?
And I don't think Italian plumbers is a stereotype, I don't feel like that's an association I've seen anywhere outside of Mario.
I think they just happen to be plumbers because of the tubes.

Are you talking about the Ryse part?
How much skill do you need to "win" in dead rising and ryse? Or that stupid artsy game from Sony?

Good lawwwd at the sense of humour on some of you. It's just a comedy skit from always silly Conan and it's funny.
Wow, lighten up, duder. These devs knew exactly what the deal was when Conan fucking O'Brien showed up.

I like Conan very much
Martinet's got a great sense of humour about the whole thing, he was in the GAME shop on Oxford street quite a few years back and riffing with all the fans, being silly and generally making everyone's day. He's probably delighted to have Conan take the piss a bit.

Same. I mean I realize it, but I get reminded. It really is juvenile.
Developers aren't somehow above being lightheartedly teased by a visiting comedian. And besides, they're most likely in on the joke.
Oh jeez. If you think for a second that Martinet was a victim here, you could not be more wrong.

I lol'd at the "gazpacho" comment. I'm actually slightly more hyped for Mario Kart 8 now.
You don't need any skill to play Ryse the game plays itself
sorry, but I did not know the dude and what kind of comedy he does, here in europe comedy is a bit different.
the xbox part made me smile a bit...

He does it all the time on the show, why would you expect an E3 special to be any different?

People here can be really touchy. It's all lighthearted humor.
Which has been part of the appeal of the franchise is that anyone can pick up and play and remain somewhat competitive throughout.
Are you offended? I'm a gamer, and I thought those jokes were hilarious.
I would bet almost any amount of money that the Nintendo representative let him win.
EDIT: If you look at the video Conan comes in 11th place on the first race. And the Nintendo rep at 12th.
I'm pretty sure they know what's going to happen when they're talking to Conan
Besides I'm sure they chat it up off-cam like he does with guests on his show.
Offended? No, it' just really hacky. Come up with something better. That's like going on stage and telling "Yo mama..." jokes.

I remember back when I was younger my dad was so happy because he could win at Mario kart.

You're surprised a voice actor can do an accent? The horror!
On another note, the group of ladies at the end were amazing. Conan you dog you!
Conan didn't see Titanfall
he had enough of shooting it seems...
i've met/talked with charles martinet at least five times over the last decade. he's a super nice guy, but mario is sort of part of him. one time i was playing nsmbw at the nintendo booth with him and two other people, and he made mario sounds throughout. last year he kinda went 'wahoo!' to himself as he threw away a paper towel after washing his hands as we crossed paths when i went into the men's room.
but like i said, very nice guy. he's always happy to take pictures with people and sign things.

No, its more like someone going to a pride parade and making gay jokes. Except that the gays can laugh at themselves, and gamers are 100% serious. Lighten up.

I guess the thing Conan said isn't too far off, lol. He hit close to home, albeit in a joking way.
