Breaking down the ice walls

What makes this game so funny? WhenI first played it, I couldn't stop laughing.

The game is so astoundingly simple -- you control a guy who smashes his fist through big walls of ice, with one mouse button as the only control -- that it would probably be a bore if it wasn't funny.

There are a couple of different elements that contribute to the humour. The first one is the absurdity of the situation: smashing your fist through walls consisting of ice bricks. Then there's the incongruity of the character: a very straight-looking man in a suit, who seems completely at ease crashing through thick walls of ice. Finally, there's that "Yeeeaaah!" that he shouts, which seems so out of place for the character, but also fits with the ice crashing theme.

As you can imagine, the game contains very few instructions, but it does make the puzzling promise that you'll get "a memorial banner" for completing it. Don't get your hopes up too high though. I actually did make it to the end (good luck on that last double-thick wall) and there's no payoff. Too bad. I was curious to find out just what a memorial banner might be.
