Your Morning Stupid: Left 4 Teletubbies

By John Walker on September 22nd, 2009 at 8:48 am.

Time for tubby bye-byes

A Left 4 Dead mod that, well, adds the Teletubbies as enemies. There’s not really much more that can be added to that. It’s created by flameknight7, and can be downloaded from here. Watch the video, as displayed on our tummies, below.

Teletubbies etiquette now dictates you immediately play the video again. Cheers to Steve for tweeting it.

    inb4″this is stupid, and anyone who finds it funny is a sheep.”

  2. 22/09/2009 at 08:51 Hmm-Hmm. says:

    Um. Right.

    Posssibly therapeutic for some among us. Or should I say, apparently?

  3. 22/09/2009 at 08:51 Senethro says:

    Psychopomp beat me to it – I was surprised last time by how controversial StupidFunny is.

  4. 22/09/2009 at 08:52 MrTest says:

    Are there normal zombies randomly in there too? Seems to spoil the effect a bit. I’d like to have seem just swarms of the Tubbies.

  5. 22/09/2009 at 09:00 Fat Zombie says:

    I KNEW IT!!!

  6. 22/09/2009 at 09:07 Rinox says:

    That’s awesome.

    Incidentally, wasn’t Crash Course scheduled for around for tomorrow or something? Hope so!

  7. 22/09/2009 at 09:10 Norskov says:

    Reminds me of the toonrun maps for sven co-op. Great fun.

  8. 22/09/2009 at 09:39 Dave says:

    This is stupi… sorry sorry.

    the bit where the yellow one runs up the ramp “LaLa” “kaboom” (1:11 ish)

    awesome.

  9. 22/09/2009 at 09:40 Kowalski says:

    This is terrifying!

  10. 22/09/2009 at 09:42 Ian says:

    Scarier than zombies.

  11. 22/09/2009 at 09:53 Mike says:

    Jesus. That’s more unsettling than I thought it’d be.

  12. 22/09/2009 at 10:10 Theory says:

    Those headshots are brutal.

  13. 22/09/2009 at 10:15 neems says:

    Omg, watching the tubbies pile in on a pipe bomb… make it stop, please.

  14. 22/09/2009 at 10:24 Sobric says:

    “Where have the teletubbies gone?” at the end was fantastic.

  15. 22/09/2009 at 10:24 Frans Coehoorn says:

    Scarred for life here. Thanks RPS.

  16. 22/09/2009 at 10:30 Knight Of Cydonia says:

    La La, La La, La La, La L-BOOM.
    Whatever memory of the Teletubbies I had is gone, replaced by this. Which may or may not be a good thing.

  17. 22/09/2009 at 10:37 Isometric says:

    Haha that is truly daunting horror. Eat yer heart out lovecraft!

  18. 22/09/2009 at 10:58 Chaz says:

    Very nice, but it could do with being spiced up with a few more kids favourites, like Postman Pat and his black and white cat, those freaks from In the Night Garden, and some rabbid Sesame Street characters foaming at the mouth and delirious with rage.

  19. 22/09/2009 at 11:22 itsallcrap says:

    Anybody else seen the guard dog thing on teamfortress.com yet?

    You reckon that’s real?

    The actual info page is not hosted on the official site…

      Going by the Saxton Hale letter, it’s just a fake update mocked up by someone in the community that Valve are drawing attention to.

  20. 22/09/2009 at 11:30 CakeAddict says:

    They scare me more then the usual zombies do.

  21. 22/09/2009 at 11:39 ChaosSmurf says:

    This may be the single scariest thing I’ve ever seen.

  22. 22/09/2009 at 11:51 jRides says:

    Oh my! I need to get hold of this – although am I risking horrendous teletubby related nightmares?

    @itsallcrap its quite obviously false, not being hosted on the official site should tell you that, but look at it, its riddled with spelling and grammer mistakes – other than that its a good mock up.

  23. 22/09/2009 at 12:17 Glove says:

    God that is absolutely, brutally, insanely awesome. Shearing Teletubbies’ heads off with a shotgun!

  24. 22/09/2009 at 12:17 Carey says:

    I want a Rod, Jane and Freddy mod.

  25. 22/09/2009 at 13:10 Tzarkahn says:

    That looks brilliant.

    Just want them all to be this biq squishy ball of death.

  26. 22/09/2009 at 13:11 Tei says:

    I [ ] Love, [X] hate what L4D make [X] me / [ ] make others feel. Is a great [X] game / [ ] zombie apocalipsis simulator / [ ] social comentary / [ ] wall paint tool.

  27. 22/09/2009 at 13:23 just simplicty says:

    i agree.. this is stupidity, i don’t have to play it or watch the videos of someone else playing it. i mean are you serious once upon a time children were sleeping with the stuffed dolls!! Then some genius comes along and makes a video game with the different characters involved with handguns and what not……. smh i wonder why kids are so fascinated by guns a such a early age now days ! WHO”S TO BLAME?!

    • 22/09/2009 at 13:38 Kommissar Nicko says:

      I think it’d be a good start to BLAME JOHN WALKER for introducing this stuff to PERFECTLY INNOCENT CHILDREN for the simple purpose of INDOCTRINATING THEM in his SYSTEM OF MORAL DEPRAVITY, encouraging them to SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS WITH VIOLENCE.

    • 22/09/2009 at 14:30 Tei says:

      My irony detector is broken. Are you serius?

    • 22/09/2009 at 16:19 Kommissar Nicko says:

      Ahem… hard to say. I am a GODFEARING AMERICAN who has a deep-seated CONCERN FOR THE WELFARE of CHILDREN and SOME MENTALLY DEFICIENT ADULTS.

      But no, not really serious.

      However, on a serious note, Tei, I wanted to commend you. You’ve been posting in the neighborhood for a while, and I’ve noticed that your English has improved tremendously during that time. Good work! I hope you interpret this as a sincere compliment, because it is.

    • 22/09/2009 at 20:07 Tei says:

      Thanks.. Kommissar Nicko. You made me really happy. :-)

  28. 22/09/2009 at 15:06 Wooly says:

    o_O

    Those head & limb shots are pretty brutal.

  30. 22/09/2009 at 16:46 aDelicateBalance says:

    I don’t think I could count how many awesome moment there were in that 4:30 of video.

  31. 22/09/2009 at 17:22 Warth0g says:

    This is poetry. Definetly post-modern or sumfink. Agree with the earlier posts about including characters from In the Night Garden, can only imagine how disturbing it would be to headshot Makka-Pakka as he polishes his stones and then to duck as the Pinky Ponk comes crshing down from the sky…

    p.s. I pray that my 4 year old daughter never, ever sees this..

  32. 22/09/2009 at 18:47 Eplekongen says:

    That is terrifying, absolutely terrifying.

  33. 22/09/2009 at 19:14 Vinraith says:

    Brilliant! Needs Barney, though. Then it would be completely horrifying.

  34. 22/09/2009 at 19:55 cheeba says:

    Love it. Now all they need to do is replace the witch with Noseybonk and we’ll never sleep again.

  35. 22/09/2009 at 19:56 Funky Badger says:

    As if Zombie Clowns weren’t pant-wettingly terrifying enough.

  36. 22/09/2009 at 20:07 zak canard says:

    This mod needs to be part of L4D2 to get it past the Aussie censors. See you’re no longer killing the undead, you’re killing those four “things” over and over again.

  37. 22/09/2009 at 20:13 Rei Onryou says:

    I don’t know if I should laugh or cry. Either way, I’ll never play with this mod…

  38. 22/09/2009 at 20:41 lumpi says:

    This is the most distrubing clip I’ve seen in a while.

    I have to mention though, that I already find non-zombified Teletubbies to be distrubing…

  39. 22/09/2009 at 21:27 DarkNoghri says:

    I’ve said this in at least one other place: L4D just became a survival horror game instead of an action shooter.

  40. 22/09/2009 at 21:59 Craymen Edge says:

    That's scarier than vanilla L4D.

    Someone needs to put those things in Ravenholme in Half-Life 2. Or not. I don't think I could handle the nightmares.

  41. 23/09/2009 at 00:34 lethu says:

    Teletubbies on fire !!! I think I am having an orgasm !!!!

  42. 23/09/2009 at 01:26 Schwerpunk says:

    Wonderful.

    Though I wish they'd gone a step further into the [i]truly[/i] surreal, and made a mind-bending map, complete with floating submarine-thing, and nozzle-nosed vacuum reavers.

    I wet my bed in anticipation.

  43. 24/09/2009 at 02:16 x25killa says:

    If I ever watch teletubbies in the mere future, I will remember this and laugh like a madman.

    What have you done?!?

  44. 24/10/2009 at 08:30 Me says:
