Ever wonder where that catchy Wii Shop Channel came from? Its origins may be more nefarious and German than you realized!

LYRICS:
YOU WILL BUY THESE THINGS!
YOU WILL BUY THESE THINGS!
YOU WILL BUY THESE THINGS!

WELCOME TO THE WII SHOP CHANNEL,
WE HAVE SOFTWARE & GAMES TO SELL

SO WE WROTE THIS HYPNOTIC TUNE,
WHICH TURNS YOUR BRAIN INTO A PRUNE

OH JA, PRUNY BRAINS
THE KIND OF BRAINS ZAT BUY STUFF
EVEN GAMES THAT NO ONE EVER PLAYED
(Ja, we've got lots of zat)

WE'VE GOT CLASSICS LIKE CHEW MAN FU,
WHO COULD FORGET NEUTOPIA II?
DOUBLE DUNGEONS & DRAGON'S CURSE
THEY SOUND FUN RIGHT? NOW GRAB YOUR PURSE!

WE WANT YOUR CASH, *MIT* NO FRIVOLOUS DISTRACTIONS
MINIMAL DESIGN!
SIMPLE, PURE & LIGHT!
HERE'S THE BOTTOM LINE: BASICALLY IT'S WHITE
CATCHY MUSIC, IT MAKES YOU BUY,
& IT'S SO FUN TO WATCH YOU TRY
IT MAY TAKE YOU A THOUSAND CLICKS,
PARTY LIKE IT'S 2006

BUY THE GAME, IT'S BETTER THAN A CARTRIDGE
WHO WOULD WANT TO BLOW A FAULTY CART?
(GAY & LADY CARTS!)

YOU NEED WII POINTS TO BUY OUR STUFF
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
YOU MUST INPUT YOUR CREDIT CARD,
& WE PURPOSELY MADE IT HARD

HAHAHAHAAH,
LOOK AT YOUR FACE
YOU JUST CLICKED FOR TWENTY MINUTES
THEN WE SWITCHED THE SIDE WHERE YOU CLICK FOR YES
DO IT ALL AGAIN!
TROLLIN FOR THE WIN!

JA! *MEIN* LITTLE WII
WE'RE GONNA MAKE A STRANGE, CLUNKY LITTLE STORE PROGRAM, & WE'LL USE THE MONEY TO BUY BEER & SPAM!

BUY SOME STUFF, & THEN PLEASE BUY SOME MORE STUFF
THATS MY SONG ABOUT THE WII SHOP,
NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH ESHOP
PLEASE SHOP AT THE WII SHOP TILL YOU DIE,
OR IF YOU'RE NOT OLD ENOUGH,
ASK YOUR PARENTS FOR HELP

CONTENT NOTE:
When I wrote this, I hoped to satirize a tired old way of thinking with the line "Gay & lady carts." In my mind, it was funny that this evil doofus would think that's okay to say. But in the rear-view, I don't think I should have made that joke. I cringe at it nowadays. Hope it didn't offend you or make you feel bad.

0:16 bowser is watching reggie.

*THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLED*

[johnstewart]

We can’t even add Wii Points anymore.... Rest In Peace Wii Shop channel. Your German creator and yourself will be missed.

[SSKO]

*you vill buy these things!*
*you vill buy these things!*

R.I.P Wii Shop Channel-2006-2019. It's been a good run, with an amazing music. Virtual Console was also handled the best here.

[ErikCPianoman]

This has been stuck in my head for the past week. My god this is such an ear worm.

[tacklemc]

I can't stop listen to this song! They always in my head 😂

[rerez]

God... why can't I stop watching this?

[TMan]

The worst thing about the Wii shop channel. When you actually start downloading and Mario keeps hitting that block forever!!

[lookas.j]

I love how the end lyrics “Please shop at the Wii Shop till you die or if you’re not old enough ask your parents for help” imply that if you’re not old enough to die please ask your parents for help.

[TrailerDrake]

Brentalfloss, Black Nerd, JonTron, DJ Cutman, that one couple?  It's a super crossover of amazement! :D

[RetroHumanoid]

This is literally one of the best videos on Youtube.

[damian]

Even to this day, these are the lyrics I hear whenever I listen to the Wii Shop theme on its own

[shards-of-glass-man]

The Wii Shop Channel has been put on the death row. The execution is scheduled January 31st 2019.
Rewatching to honor its memory.

[spykesthekid]

Would be a damn shame if we weren't able to add Wii Points to our accounts anymore, eh?
...


Wait...

[MrLine]

The button layout at 1:58 led me to accidentally buying Ace Attorney. Best mistake ever!

[Werewolfwrath]

"YOU WILL BUY THESE THINGS!"
Not anymore Brent **sniff** not anymore.

[TheLonelyGoomba]

This just reminds how poor the Wii Shop was

[dracojim]

I like the little key details Brent did while speaking in his accent. For instance, saying "mit" instead of "with." That is one of the many examples that make this work so well.

[Samdaman]

The adorable "buy shome shtuff" at 2:16 gets me every time! It's so quiet and innocent sounding :3

[brennanperry]

yup, if you're not old enough to die ask your parents for help
