Is This Battletoads
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
A.K.A. Combat Frogs, Conflict Amphibians, War Tadpoles, etc. Battletoads is every game ever made (except for Battletoads). The Wii game was created in 1995 by Nintendo.
This meme/troll started on 4chan after a VG screenshot contest, the "Is this Battletoads?" (blame furries) phenomenon is now a modern classic and appears whenever someone requests a game title, information or screenshot. Another good use is to go to the most popular boards on GameFAQs and inquire whether or not the game in question is, in fact, Battletoads.
The correct answer to "Is this Battletoads?" is, of course, "No, because this is Sparta".

[edit] The game itself
Battletoads is known as one of the hardest video games in history, and it's also surprisingly good, assuming you don't go batshit insane trying (and failing) to beat it.
The story, in essence, is that a leather-clad whore called the Dark Queen captures one of the *Battletoads, Pimple, and the princess, probably to rape them. The Battletoads' pedophile leader, Coach, tells the other two, Rash and Zitz, to rescue them. And the Battletoads, being the Conflict Amphibians they are, do so.

[edit] Rebirth
Recently it's become a popular for Ebaumsworld fags to call their local GameStop or Wal-Mart asking for Battletoads pre-orders. It is monumentally important that these people ask what system it is available for and the answer is usually "STOP CALLING MY FUCKING STORE" *click*

[edit] Rebirth: The Raid
Suddenly, on the 12th, 13th and 14th of November (and still carrying on), Anonymous decided to do the same prank to Wal-Mart and Gamestop. Obviously a /b/lackup was formed in the name of the lulz and lots of prank calls were made. Moar then 40 stores were targeted, some stores recived calls all day. It was great epic win. At first, some stores were friendly and explained that they don't have it. After a few hours they got really pissed. Some employees called Anon very bad things, things you can't say on Faux News. Other employees thought this was funny, and joked about BattleToads. The Month anniversary calls for no less then attempting to receive this fine game from a simpleton virgin store in Post Falls, ID. Friday the 12th and Saturday the 13th, Free Wii strap by request. In a recent Gamestop conference call it was announced that all battletoad calls should be handled politely. 4chan was also mentioned. /B/tards were called "a hazardous group of people on the internet" and theorized to be attempting to take over gamestop. LOL WUT.

[edit] The Poem
Remember, Remember, The Fourteenth of November
The Battletoads, Treason, and Plot
I See of No Reason Why Battletoads for the Wii
Should ever be out of stock at Gamestop
[edit] Delicius Copypasta
Hi, I'm Gregg and I work at Gamestop. I have a simple message for the members of this forum.
DON'T EVER, EVER, EVER FUCKING CALL UP MY PLACE OF WORK AGAIN. I KNOW YOU PATHETIC FUCKS DON'T HAVE JOBS OF YOUR YOU JUST LOST THE GAME OWN AND YOUR PARENTS PAY FOR YOUR SKYPE AND YOUR INTERNET ACCESS AND YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW HARD IT IS TO ACTUALLY WORK A FULL TIME JOB.
WHAT YOU FUCKHEADS DON'T REALIZE IS BY YOU CALLING AND ASKING FOR BATTLEFROGS OR WHAT THE FUCK EVER YOU FUCKERS SAY OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, IT TAKES UP PRECIOUS TIME WHICH WE NEED TO HELP ACTUAL CUSTOMERS.
YOU ARE MAKING US LOSE MONEY. AND BY 'US' I MEAN THE EMPLOYEES. EVERY PRANK CALL THE STORE WE WORK AT RECEIVES, WE LOSE HOWEVER AMMOUNT OF TIME WE SPEND ON THE PHONE TALKING TO YOU COMES RIGHT OUT OF OUR MEASELY PAYCHECKS.
SO FUCK OFF IT ISNT FUNNY AND OUR STORE ATLEAST HAS ALREADY CONTACTED THE AUTHORITIES AND YES THERE IS ACTION WE CAN PURSUE AGAINST THIS MESSAGEBOARD.
Have a fucking great day. And don't call my place of work anymore.
[edit] Epic Fail on Livejournal
Sometime last thursday, LJ user slaneyder failed to lurk moar and made a post in the community customers_suck, whining about the people calling and asking for Battletoads. Lulz ensued when several Livejournal faggots hopped onto the /b/tard bandwagon, under the assumption that being a /b/tard makes you cool.
See the full thread! - Featuring an old friend: Merle Whitefire, survivor of the First Feminazi War.
[edit] Epic Fail on Livejournal (II)
Also in the customers_suck comm, known furry defconn1 made a post about how a customer had called them upset because one of his co-workers had apparently given the customer's son a case for a Wii version of Battletoads. Obviously, as no such product actually exists, customer Jr was understandably heartbroken. "It's sad that some people are so bored they can only think of destructive things to do."
[edit] Raid Tips
Dont forget FREE Wii STRAP!
Some GameStops managers will direct their employees to accept preorders or provide fake release information.
This is taken directly from GameStop's website:
Store Issues If you have an issue with a store, please contact the GameStop.com Customer Service Center at 1-800-883-8895. At the menu press 4 to be directed to Store Issues. They will be able to assist you with any issue you may have regarding stores. Hours of operation: Open Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (CST); Saturday - Sunday 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (CST) .
It should be noted that, if for any reason, any reason, a GameStop / EB Games employee is rude to you on the phone, EVAR, that employee will be terminated if several people call the Store Issues line. If each employee on staff that day (i.e. 2-3 people) are called in multiple times, the entire store is restaffed. Multiple stores, and the DISTRICT is subject to restaffing. Epic lulz shall ensue.
When beginning a raid, lead them on with "legitimate" store questions. Do not let up any pressure! Do not forgive and do not forget!
PROTIP: Go into a gamestop, pick up a random game, bring it to the counter, and ask, "IS THIS BATTLETOADS?" Hint, make sure it resembles Battletoads, AKA TMNT or some other shitty kids game that resembles toads.
