Though I’m not at all a fan of Jackass and its ilk, I must admit that the concept behind this video — an all-out, real-life re-creation of the original Donkey Kong — is quite brilliant. Nothing most of us haven’t thought of before, but awesome to see it in action nonetheless.

Created by some of the folks from Jackass & Viva La Bam, it makes one realize just how awesome it could be to physically re-enact classic 2D platformers of old in the backyard. After watching it a couple times, I totally want my own :)
