Mike Myers' Mii A 'Frightening Representation'
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 9:40 AM on June 14, 2008
Apparently, Mike Myers and I have different definitions of the word "exactly." Perhaps it's the Canadian definition, as Myers' assertion that his Mii looks "exactly" like him is more of a "kind of" or "barely" in my opinion. While, I assume, pitching The Love Guru on The Tonight Show, Myers exposed his Wii avatar to the television viewing public, one which could easily be confused with Hawkman's Mii.

I think they did him a favor. His avatar looks much better than he does in real life. But then again, who's doesn't? Well, with the exception of me ;)

@BigShell: A Mike Myers Mii, I have my Wii, regardless I don't want that anymore either.

There is a resemblance to his Mii but I think it doesn't look enough like him. I'm guessing that his self-image is distorting what he should look like as a Mii. Everyone tends to have a skewed image of what they look like. I used a mirror when I made my own personal Mii. All it would take is a few minor adjustments to get a better likeness.

That's not too bad. I was watching this Tonight Show the other night, but missed this. I figured they were just hyping up Myers new movie, so I shut it off.

@BoringJob: I wouldn't say he ran Wayne's World into the ground - there were only two films. Actually a third episode where Wayne and Garth are 40-something parents with horrible wives and criminal children might actually be quite good. Let's hope he does that. Does anyone have his number?
Oh, does this have to have something to do with videogames? Err.. that Wayne's World NES game was great wasn't it?

Shrek was AWFUL (ALL OF THEM!). I liked the 1st & 2nd Austin Powers and the 1st Wayne's World. He was excellent on SNL too bad those days are over.

@BigShell: I don't think he did. Wayne 2 tanked bad and I vaguely remember reading that he still plans for more Austin Powers movies. Of course, that was years ago.

@Bernoulli: I guess you could make that stretch. Shows you how far his star has fallen. I love the first 2 Shreks (haven't seen the last milking of the franchise for all it's worth). And I don't associate him with them at all.
Donkey and Puss more than upstaged Shrek in the 2nd one, too. It's too bad. Wayne's World and Austin Powers were good. Too bad he ran those into the ground, too.

I can see the resemblance, reminds me of the floppy headed characters on South Park.

I'm Canadian, and I hate Mike Myers. He hasn't made a good movie in the past 10 years. Love Guru looks BRUTAL.

Does it hurt when the top of your head comes off for a second when you say things?
@BoringJob:
And, judging by the Love Guru trailers, that streak won't be ending any time soon.

Also, is there a mirror image? Right now, his picture compared against his Mii shows that the mole is on the wrong side.
This comes off more as Mike Myers using the Wii's popularity to boost his own.

It's too bad Mike Myers hasn't been the star of a good movie for what feels like 10 years. Honestly, until the MTV Movie awards recently, I forgot he was alive.

They really need to increase the customization for Miis. I have to squint to see the likeness to Mike Myers.

this is clearly not created with a Wii... but via Joystiq's Mii creator ( [www.joystiq.com] )
sad...being a mike meyers fan...that he pretends to have made this himself.
even sadder...is that a leno intern probably created this... epik failure of a Mii 5 mins before the show.

@uberLAB: Actually, I'm pretty sure that it was made with the now defunct site: [www.miieditor.com]
Yet again, I think the two are one in the same, so it makes no difference. Either way, it is a shame that he didn't actually make this.

Pff. It's actually pretty good. The head is toooo long, but aside from that, all the major facial features are there.
But, yah. It's a joke.

@BoringJob: @BoringJob:

Please tell me that was sarcasm.
It's a freaking short clip from the 10+ minutes he was on Leno.
It's not like he went 'Look at my Wii shirt! Look at my Mii! Look at my Wii!!' etc.
He isn't trying to boost jack.
If he would, being on Leno isn't the best place.

Wait... you guys are on crack for saying he hasn't made a good movie in 10 years. He made all 3 Austin powers flicks. 2 of them were in the last 10 years. Those movies are comedy gold. He needs to make a fourth!

If he were Zach Braff, he'd have that dubious honor. But he's not, so he needs to shut his bacony Canadian Molson-hole.

I think there actually was a THQ SNES game for Wayne's World, and it ranks highly on the list of worst games every created in the history of the universe.
