Cultural impact of the Guitar Hero series
The name "Guitar Hero" is often juxtapositioned with other instruments or other tools for humorous effects. There are T-shirts available from at least one vendor, parodying the "Guitar Hero" logo with a number of different instruments, from violin to bagpipes. Marketing for "The Simpsons Game" included mock posters for "Sitar Hero", depicting "The Simpsons" character Apu with a controller with 21 buttons and a small list of songs parodying real-world songs, such as "Pour Some Curry on Me" (a parody of Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar on Me") and "Shankar Groove Thing" (a parody of Peaches & Herb's "Shake Your Groove Thing"), a parody Harmonix praised. GameSpot released an April Fools' article in 2006 announcing "Cowbell Hero" as a successor to the first game, referencing the "More cowbell" skit from "Saturday Night Live". Also, a "Cowbell Hero" T-shirt appears among Chuck's collection of shirts in an episode of the NBC series, "Chuck". One Penny Arcade comic strip envisioned a game entitled "Photoshop Hero", which has become a design for one of their T-shirts. A 2008 FoxTrot Sunday comic showed the characters Jason and Marcus playing a video game called "Chamber Music Hero." The satirical newspaper The Onion published an article entitled "Activision Reports Sluggish Sales For Sousaphone Hero." In the 15th episode of the first season of the Adult Swim cartoon "Metalocalypse", a young girl played a song for Dethklok member Toki Wartooth with a "Guitar Hero" controller. Later, in the 3rd episode of the second season, one Dethklok fan is seen with a "Guitar Hero" controller in his room whilst illegally downloading Dethklok MP3s.
