There are several video game retailers all around the world, with many likeGameStop currently focusing on Black Friday deals. One store, however, seems to be a bit more focused on fun this holiday season, showing off some hilarious custom box arts onTikTok.
One Tiktoker known as SirShemp recently shared a video, describing what it is he does at his job exactly. As a graphic designer too, he is responsible for adding box art whenever someone comes in and trades video games in that don’t have theirs. Apparently, however, whenever SirShemp gets a lot of trades, he prefers to have a lot of fun with the box art.

In this recentTikTokvideo, SirShemp shows how he changed up the box arts on games likeNeed for Speed Undercover, Dance Central, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: World at War, Cars 3: Driven to Win, Cars: Raceorama, NBA 2K17, andDef Jam: Fight for NY.Many of these were simple enough, if still incredibly hilarious, such as renamingDance Centralas “Dank Central,”Call of Duty: Black Opsas “Call of Duty: BLOPS,” andCall of Duty: World at Waras “Call of Duty: War at World.”
Some of them got a bit more intricate, though, such as adding a truegaming meme in Vin DieseltoCars 3’s box art, extending the mouth, jaw, and/or messing with the face onNBA 2K17, and adding a ton of fingers—a simply inhuman amount of fingers—toDef Jam: Fight for NY. The most innocuous changes are often the funniest, and that’s where all of these edits come into play.
SirShemp, at the end of the video, asks his viewers if there are other games that would like to see him mess with, and there were a few calls for this to become a TikTok series. Many asked forgames likeHalo, Super Smash Bros, Titanfall,or a Soulsborne game to get this treatment, and it’s certainly something funny to imagine. If SirShemp does continue these shenanigans remain to be seen, though.
Obviously, gaming has a strong presence on Tiktok and its communities. This is far from the first video-game-related video to appear on Tiktok, and it certainly won’t be last. Some videos have even includedRed Dead Redemption 2’s Arthur Morgan doing Tiktok trends, which is just about as insane as it sounds. No matter what, comedy, Tiktok, and gaming all go hand in hand, and hopefully, SirShemp’s next video is just as funny as this one.
