I brick your Wii!

Chris purchased a Wii, and brought it with him to his various places of residence. Like all Wii consoles, we played it for a while but as soon as the gimmick wore off it got the same amount of use as the Dreamcast. 
The joke, originating from a hot tub session one night, became that Nintendo would use their large amount of resources -- and tendency to make stupid out-of-the-box decisions -- to somehow hack the consoles we do play via the Wii sitting there unused on the shelf. We'd be playing Xbox happily, and suddenly the game would disappear and Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto would appear on the screen. In broken English he'd demand to know why we weren't playing Wii.
When we had no answer, our first thought would be to turn off the console, but Miyamoto would be able to see us and tell if we were getting up to shut it off. If anybody moved he'd threaten to brick the current console, essentially holding us hostage until we started to play Wii like he wanted. 
It spawned the still-quoted "I brick your Wii!", which doesn't even make total sense since Miyamoto wouldn't want to brick his own console. But it does sound funnier.
A 2017 example of a reference to the joke was by Miek, upon experiencing the trauma that is the worst Witcher 3 ending a player can earn, followed by the game starting to crash during the post-game DLC. It was described as "reaching Miyamoto levels of disaster"
