Parodies

* The Video Game Awards were parodied on an episode of "MADtv", highlighting the fictional 1st Annual Video Game Awards on June 21, 1977, hosted by Joe Namath (played by Michael McDonald) and Farrah Fawcett (played by Arden Myrin), musical guest The Jackson Five, and award presenter Mark Spitz (played by Ike Barinholtz). "Pong" and "Asteroids" were the only video games nominated for all of the awards presented, even though "Asteroids" wasn't released in the arcade until 1979. The categories shown in the sketch were "Best Graphics in a Video Game" ("Asteroids" wins), and "Most Realistic Sound in a Video Game" ("Pong" and "Asteroids" win in a tie). Bobby Lee accepts an award as a designer of "Asteroids". "Space Invaders" is shown to display the future of video games, although it was released before "Asteroids" in 1978.MADtv Episode #1121, Air Date: May 13, 2006.]
