Doritos asked Geoff Keighley if he would host the Game Awards wearing the "Pope" outfit.

[Deleted member 2321]

Listening to Kotaku SplitScreen right now.

He talks about it with Jason and Kirk at around 1:08:00

http://podbay.fm/show/1039413502/e/1512028800

Of course he said no.

Hilarious.

 

[Lite_Agent]

Too bad he said no, because that'd be the only thing that would make watch the GA :P

 

[Deleted member 8852]

He should have said yes.

 

[byDoS]

He should own it.

 

[GhostTrick]

What about Punished Snack ?

 

[massoluk]

GEOFF.... THAT'S CUTE, BUT IT'S WRONG

 

[Deleted member 278]

Missed opportunity Geoff Keighley ! Would have been amazing.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Not even as an opening bit?

 

[meppi64]

And yet the razorblade guy got approved. lmao.

 

[FormatCompatible]

The pope is rejecting his faith? Sacrilegious!

 

[Knight in Shining Armani]

Any reason why you don't provide a link?

 

[CrazyAndy]

That would have been great. Too bad he said no.

 

[Deleted member 13328]

He should arrive in the "Pope Mobile" shaped like a Dorito and baptize Kojima in Moutain Dew.

Can´t find the episode online for some reason. Only in my app.

 

[M1chl]

What the fuck, he totally should have totally said yes. Seems like #noFunAllowed or maybe his heritage is from Switzerland (basically same thing).

Context, why Switzerland, is in here:

[SinCityAssassin]

He should've double downed. Only do it if Reggie could also wear Pizza Hut box armor.

 

[artemis]

You don't want church against you, Geoff.

 

[NightShift]

I want to see the Dorito Pope and Schick Hydro Bot standing side by side so bad.

 

[Bakercat]

 

[carlosrox]

Wait, explain.

What outfit? The meme picture someone shopped?

Why would they ask him to wear this?

Anyone got the pic?

 

[Sir Guts]

Geoff Keighley You should've said yes

 

[karkii]

It's pretty awesome how he's embraced the whole thing and is joking about it.

 

[Bonejack]

Lol, that's kinda great and really funny. Poor Geoff tho, that stuff is going to haunt him until retirement, maybe even beyond that.

 

[psychowave]

no point in watching the show then tbh

[ThereAre4Lights]

I've never heard about this Doritos Pope joke before.

 

[Mgs2master2]

He should at least do 1 segment dressed like that. Just 1.

 

[Deleted member 9971]

I am dissapointed would have been awesome!

 

[Alienous]

I don't know why you'd deny an opportunity to put a full stop at the end of this whole thing.

Wouldn't even need to wear it for the whole show.

 

[Acquiescence]

What, he thinks he's above dressing as the Pope now?

Arrogant Geoff.

 

[ItsBobbyDarin]

This would have been so epic.

 

[ThereAre4Lights]

Damn it, now I want some Nacho Cheese Doritos.

 

[Luxorek]

I can understand Mountain Dew and Dorito being stereotypical 'gamers' food, but why the pope?

What, did Geoff advertise this stuff with religious fervor? Did he conduct Eucharist with a tortilla chip and a cup of Dew?

I want the truth.

 

[Lentic]

Good. It's better not to lean on played out memes that almost no one will find funny. "Hey, remember that thing!! HUHUHU"

 

[hoserx]

Haha. This is funny. I really like Geoff, and I like the Game Awards. I just wish they weren't on a weeknight since I work at 4am weekdays. I get it though. I'll stay up with mtn dew ofc.

 

[Alienous]

Like, just do it in-between two game reveals. Silently walk out on stage in the full regalia, do a spin, then walk backstage and get changed back into your presenting clothes.

 

[Wzrd]

[Quacktion]

Really disappointing to hear he declined. He clearly doesnt know how powerful memes are in this day and age.

 

[carlosrox]

Our Father; a chip off the old block.

He would run a Chiptatorship.

 

[Drencrom]

Geoff being introduced at TGA dressed up as the dortios pope with mountain dew in hand would've made me tear up from laughing.

 

[Angie]

Do it!!

The game awards is his baby, I can imagine he wants to try and be classier than memes memes memes, even if gaming culture doesn't really deserve that

 

[carlosrox]

Do it!!

DEW IT!

 

[Al3x1s]

Outfit or not he'll always be the doritos and mountain dew pope anyway. Pretty sad they asked him for it though.

 

[Psychotron]

I really wish he said yes. I laugh every time I see a pope pic.

 

[Dennie Dee]

That's totally absurd. 2017 is WILD
