Capcom inserts Tobias Fünke into a montage of its classic games

I think I just blue bombered myself.

With Arrested Development only a week and a half away from its 26th May return after a seven year absence, the world is in the midst of David Cross fever with everyone's favourite analrapist (a mix of analyst and therapist) Dr. Tobias Fünke making the rounds. The character's official Youtube channel contains a "sizzle reel" of the aspiring actor's works that he insists others, particularly Ron Howard, use to superimpose into their movies.

Thankfully Capcom has risen to Tobias' "insert me anywhere" challenge and re-imagined what several of its classic games would look like if Dr. Fünke were in them.

Curiously, Cross has lent his vocal talents to such games as Halo 2, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Brutal Legend, but never a Capcom game. This video clearly demonstrates that that needs to change. Maybe he and Bob Loblaw can team up with Phoenix Wright, eh?
