History Funny / ProtonJonFortuneCookie2017

** Upon starting the stream, Jon forgets to unmute his mic, and loads up the [[UsefulNotes/ThreeDOInteractiveMultiplayer 3DO]] ''Film/DemolitionMan'' FMV game, only to realize this about 40 seconds in. [[FissionMailed He then promptly ends the stream, and restarts it, complete with repeated outro and intro.]]

** The final game of the night turns out to be, of all things, ''Franchise/{{Barbie}} [[TheBusCameBack Super Sports]]'' for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation! The sheer fact that a ''Barbie'' game managed to get picked (despite ''Barbie'' games usually being banned after one Fortune Cookie stream consisted almost entirely of them) is funny enough, to the point where Jon hears LetsPlay/{{Lucahjin}} laughing upstairs at one point, but what really gets chat going is when Jon starts [[https://clips.twitch.tv/CharmingSmallCockroachSmoocherZ cycling through the menu options]]. At one point, [[https://clips.twitch.tv/TrappedMildFriseeRedCoat a cat meow randomly plays]], causing chat to think that Bagel was getting in on the action. [[note]](Jon clarifies that it wasn't Bagel, since Bagel doesn't meow, he "merps".)[[/note]]

** During a round of ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation, one category asks to name famous film directors based on the names of the movies they worked on. Cue "Creator/JamesCameron" being the answer to all but one of the questions. From that point on, chat starts joking about James Cameron being the answer to everything.

** The entirety of ''[[Franchise/TheMuppets Spy Muppets: License to Croak]]'' for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance. Jon primarily spends his time gawking at the {{Narm}}-ridden animations and cutscenes, Kermit being a particular point of focus.

** During an intermission, Jon takes the time to show off the [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]] [[https://assets.listia.com/photos/2073301/original.JPG?s=320x320m&sig=8d61f8e4e41e9167&ts=1299782034 memory card]] for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation. Chat immediately asks if her tits light up; Rosie promptly takes this ball and [[https://twitter.com/roselii49/status/862558878935826432 runs with it]].
*** Later, Jon learns about a similarly-designed VideoGame/DukeNukem [[http://legacy.3drealms.com/zerohour/images/n64card4.jpg Controller Pak]] for the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 and [[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51sNjjcqrWL.jpg its PS1 memory card counterpart]]. Jon immediately starts bursting with a combination of joy and desire.

** ''Wheel of Fortune'' on the UsefulNotes/GameBoy manages to be somewhat amusing for all the wrong reasons, be it the incredibly painful title music, the creepy pixel art Vanna White, or Jewker managing to do surprisingly well on a bonus board with just a random assortment of consonants and a vowel, much to Jon's exasperation. Even funnier, Jewker isn't able to figure out what said bonus board is supposed to be, only for Jon to reveal that it reads "A BITTERSWEET VICTORY."

*** Even funnier, both this game and the one before it (''Snowboard Kids 2'' for the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64) were published by, of all people, Creator/{{Atlus}}, leading Jewker to dub the stream "Atlus Night" (even though those were the only two Atlus games of the stream). [=MasterTimeThief=] promptly asks if Jon can stream ''VideoGame/Persona5'' now.

** One of the later games is a ''Madden'' game for the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64. Chat spends a good chunk of that round constantly referencing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv6RbEOlqRo this]] ''VideoGame/MoonbaseAlpha'' video. At one point, chat discusses the possibility of the Madden All-Stars team literally consisting of eleven John Maddens.

** The last game of the night is a licensed Hot Wheels game for the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64, which ends up being a gigantic comedy of errors thanks to a combination of bad controls, oddly-tiered cars, and a horrendously unintuitive damage mechanic (thanks to the cars ''not having visible health indicators'').

** At one point, Jon, Ryan, and Medz start discussing the [[UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance GBA Video]] cartridges that had hyper-compressed cartoons stored on them. After some digging around, he finds one in his house that includes [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants "Pizza Delivery"]], which he obviously plays (after some initial trouble getting around its incompatibility with the Game Boy Player). Everyone then spends a good chunk of time [[https://clips.twitch.tv/FancyAgitatedAxePeanutButterJellyTime laughing]] at both how awful the footage looks because of all the compression and how much hot water this'll put them in with Twitch and [=YouTube=]'s copyright systems. This ultimately culminates in [=TrojanHorse711=] sending Jon [[https://clips.twitch.tv/BusyCulturedFinchWow a copy of the old raid video]], compressed and fitted onto a fully functioning GBA ROM.

** The last game of the night is ''[[Franchise/TheMuppets Muppets Party Cruise]]'' for the UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube. The sheer mention of it alone sets chat ablaze, but the game itself (unlike some other ''Muppets'' games) fully lives up to the hype:

** During an intermission, Jon takes the time to show off the [[VideoGame/TombRaider Lara Croft]] [[https://assets.listia.com/photos/2073301/original.JPG?s=320x320m&sig=8d61f8e4e41e9167&ts=1299782034 memory card]] for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation. Chat immediately asks if her tits light up; Rosie promptly takes this ball and [[https://twitter.com/roselii49/status/862558878935826432 runs with it]].

** Jon tells a story from when he still worked at EB Games, when a kid came in with games like ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', ''VideoGame/{{Earthbound}}'', and ''VideoGame/SuperCastlevaniaIV'' intending to trade them in. Considering the absurd secondhand prices of some of the games and how the store would only give the kid a dollar or so per game, Jon and his coworkers decided to just give the kid $5 per game. Then they argued extensively about who got to keep which games for their collection.

*** The animation, sharing the in-game event title "Mystery of the Ghost Fart", depicts Jon, Emile, and an already-dead Tim (who fell in an earlier siege) as their respective Mario mains of Waluigi, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi respectively. The rest of the in-car crew are depicted as [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Eggman]] with long red hair (Lucah, herself a redhead), [[VideoGame/{{Kirby}} Kirby]] (Mal), and [[VideoGame/FireEmblem Roy]] (Tom, whose glasses and goatee carried over), while Jon's fellow co-comms (sans the aforementioned Tom, who as he says is already in the in-game group) appear as [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] (Mitch) and [[VideoGame/{{Shantae}} Shantae]] with a Luigi hat (Ryan, who has the same hat in real life).

*** On his second playthrough, one of the first places he goes to is an umbrella store. One of the co-comms mentions that maybe there will be flavor text saying that an umbrella protects them from rain once they lose their car. [[spoiler: There is.]]

** ''Bomberman Act Zero'' features again for the first time in a while, and although they don't get eight people in a room for once, all the old running gags return with a vengeance as ''BAZ'' beats ''Halo 5'' in Twitch views and [[spoiler:Dan chokes as always]].

*** Once Jon manages to get the video running, it turns out to be [[BaitAndSwitch MasterTimeThief chewing the chat out for expecting him to just keep churning out elaborate egg sounds, set over the music video to "Bohemian Rhapsody]]". [[OverlyLongGag Then he spends the remainder of the music video wondering how to kill time]] because the rant was just two minutes, while "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a six-minute song. He eventually decides to just have "Bohemian Rhapsody" play for the rest of the video, but can't find it on his computer, going through several other Queen songs, voice clips from [[WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland the Queen of Hearts]], and a clip of himself singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" in the shower, among others. Finally he decides "screw it" and plays [[spoiler:Darude's "Sandstorm"]] for the rest of the video. And then chat gets disappointed that he didn't include [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable "Killer Queen"]].

*** Once the video manages to play, it begins with a flowery meadow and serene music... [[spoiler:only for [[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Dr. Weird]] to barge in shouting "Bullshit!" followed by more modified Dr. Weird sketches.]]

** At the end of the stream, Jon decides to raid a ''Ninja Gaiden'' speedrunner. [[spoiler:He realizes too late that it's a rebroadcast of their personal best time. He ends up raiding someone else after with [=#OurLastRaidSucked=].]]

*** Throughout the game, Bunsen and Beaker act very suspicious about the various gadgets Kermit returns to them, leading Jon and chat to predict that the two will betray Kermit in the game's final act. Come the final level, and it turns out that [[spoiler:they're actually JustForFun/StatlerAndWaldorf in disguise! Jon, his co-com, and chat promptly spend a good amount of time both marveling at and breaking down in hysterics at this plot twist, due to the fact that '''absolutely none of them saw it coming''']].

** Jon gets [[https://clips.twitch.tv/BashfulVibrantSlothSquadGoals another fan-submitted egg video]], this one again being based on the Dr. Weird sketches (albeit with a CaptainErsatz character in place of Dr. Weird). This time, Not-Dr.-Weird presents what he sees as the ultimate egg submission... [[spoiler:and it's the Dropbox crash screen.]]

** At the end of the stream, Jon raids somebody as per usual. When the streamer learns that the raid is from Proton Jon, he thinks that name sounds familiar and Googles him. "Oh yeah! He's the guy who [[spoiler:[[NeverLiveItDown has been trying to finish]] ''VideoGame/Superman64'' [[NeverLiveItDown for the past eight years]]]]!" [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Jon couldn't hit the "End Stream" button fast enough]].

** The very first cookie of the night is a game called ''Drunken Robot Pornography''. The game's NonIndicativeTitle quickly catches everyone off-guard and leads to more than a few wondering if the game can even be streamed. [[spoiler:It can.]]

** ''Wheel of Fortune'' on the UsefulNotes/GameBoy manages to be somewhat amusing for all the wrong reasons, be it the incredibly painful title music, the creepy pixel art Vanna White, or Jewker managing to do surprisingly well on a bonus board with just a random assortment of consonants and a vowel, much to Jon's exasperation. Even funnier, Jewker isn't able to figure out what said bonus board is supposed to be, only for Jon to reveal that it reads [[spoiler:"A BITTERSWEET VICTORY."]]

*** Then he mentions that when they finally do finish the game, his resultant tweet will be 'fucking finally'. [[spoiler: They did! And he sent the tweet!]]

** Jewker asks Jon to put ''[[VideoGame/MarioParty Mario Party Island Tour]]'' on the cookie just for a single minigame that involves imitating the characters' voices. Jon's inevitable failed attempts at the game are funny enough, but what happens after he finally wins is even better: he decides to try exclusively going "WAAAAAAA" in a Waluigi voice just to see how well he does. [[spoiler:He wins, with almost as many points as he got on his first win]].

** The first cookie of the night featured ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack and the Amulet of Time'' as one of the choices, which won easily. After it was played, [[spoiler:the ''very first'' game to come up on the second cookie was ''Samurai Jack and the Amulet of Time'']].

** Future Jon donated to remind Jon that he needs to play game number 54 because it was a good one. Jon checked, and was baffled to find it was true. Chat went wild.
*** At the end of the stream, Jon reveals that the game was [[spoiler:Worms Armageddon]]

*** The gang attempts to race The Princess's Secret Slide. [[spoiler:The gang accidentally [[https://clips.twitch.tv/ElegantCuteCoffeeCoolStoryBob clips]] Jon ''through'' The Princess's Secret Slide.]] Twice. Later, [[spoiler:Jon attempts to make Dan and Jewker do this to him a third time on purpose, only for it to not work. Because [[BornUnlucky only Jon]] could glitch a game to a horrific degree on accident and only on accident.]]
*** After '''that''' insanity, Jon and co. decide to race The Princess's Secret Slide for real, only for Jon to accidentally bump his head at the start thanks to Waluigi's ''very'' unconventional physics, costing him a good amount of time. Jon tries to gain back some distance by diving forward on the slide, which predictably makes Waluigi go down on his stomach. However, because his hitbox is so large, he ''[[https://clips.twitch.tv/PoliteCrowdedStapleRuleFive floats]]'' while sliding, leading chat to [[https://twitter.com/game4brains/status/910711737032351744 dub him]] [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Superwah]].

*** Midway through the round, Jon decides to beat the game early via glitching his way to Bowser in the Sky. Once he defeats Bowser, he demonstrates how you can switch characters midway through the ending cutscene by causing Peach's kiss to transform Waluigi into his true form, [[spoiler:PEACH!]]

** A donation message was simply the [[StockJokes very old joke]], "I just flew in from Chicago, and boy are my arms tired!" On it's own? Not funny. Donated by someone with the name "[[spoiler:[[ADateWithRosiePalms I Masturbate On Planes]]]]"? ''Hilarious''.

** At one point, Jon, Ryan, and Medz start discussing the [[UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance GBA Video]] cartridges that had hyper-compressed cartoons stored on them. After some digging around, he finds one in his house that includes [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants "Pizza Delivery"]], which he obviously plays (after some initial trouble getting around its incompatibility with the Game Boy Player).

This ultimately culminates in [=TrojanHorse711=] sending Jon [[spoiler:[[https://clips.twitch.tv/BusyCulturedFinchWow a copy of the old raid video]], compressed and fitted onto a fully functioning GBA ROM]].

** During a round of ''VideoGame/ExtremeG 2'', Jon manages to [[https://clips.twitch.tv/SavageBadSheepSSSsss get his racer]] stuck in a corner of the track, unable to move, while all the other racers seem to zoom by him. All of a sudden, the screen fades to black... and the game declares Jon the winner... [[spoiler:'''''[[DisqualificationInducedVictory BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE DIED!]]''''']] Everyone and their mother practically bursts their guts laughing at this.
*** It gets even better when Jon learns exactly ''why'' everyone died: [[spoiler:the AI players were trying to ram Jon when he was stuck, [[ArtificialStupidity resulting in all of them flying off the course]]]].

*** Oh, and to top it all off, there's the sheer lengths he had to go to just to be able to play the game. First he attempts to play with the drum placed on his crotch (leading to a deluge of [[ADateWithRosiePalms inevitable jokes]] at Jon's expense), and after a while, is forced to play the game sitting on the floor.

** A donation message was simply the [[StockShticks very old joke]], "I just flew in from Chicago, and boy are my arms tired!" On it's own? Not funny. Donated by someone with the name "[[spoiler:[[ADateWithRosiePalms I Masturbate On Planes]]]]"? ''Hilarious''.

** During another intermission, Jon gets sent [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GV-og70bI4 a video]] of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'' cutscenes edited to match up with the audio of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoB543m9Zzw the first]] WebVideo/GameGrumps tee shirt commercial. Despite the audio featuring former Not-So-Grump WebVideo/JonTron, who had become [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement a somewhat divisive figure]] in recent months, everyone still manages to get a kick out of it because of [[https://clips.twitch.tv/PleasantHorribleCroissantPeteZarollTie how well]] the cutscenes match up with the audio.

** The final game of the night is a video game version of ''TabletopGame/GameOfLife'', and everybody is left creasing at [[UncannyValley how horrifying the 3D avatars are]].

--->'''game4brains123:''' Wiki/TVTropes is gonna have a field day with this one.

** During ''VideoGame/MickeyMania'', the first game, after a $1 donation by someone with the name One_Dollar that just reads "ONE MOTHERFUCKING DOLLAR," the chat goes crazy with the donations. Messages include but are not limited to a RunningGag of other donators having dollar-themed names and a ShoutOut to Wiki/ThisVeryWiki.

** The last game of the night is an ''Franchise/IncredibleHulk'' game for the original Xbox; within minutes it manages to leave an impression on Jon with [[https://clips.twitch.tv/SparklyGiftedLeopardTheThing this]] glory.

** Jon begins with ''Time Splitters 2'' and discovers to his delight there is a level editor, which he proceeds to [[HilarityEnsues break as badly as he does character creators in other games]]. He makes a battle room that's almost entirely pink ("[[InsistentTerminology Light red!]]") except for one random corner, with epileptic flashing lights, and then fills it with two teams, red and blue, armed with flamethrowers and fire extinguishers and consisting almost entirely of [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys monkeys]]. Jon himself promptly decides to be on [[TakeAThirdOption team green]]. ''Utter chaos ensues'' as the room immediately fills with [[IncendiaryExponent monkeys on fire]].

--->'''Jon''': It's just another day on the Death Road 'till someone '''FARTS IN THE CAR!''' Drama and mystery consume the team, pick someone to blame. LetsPlay/TomFawkes tells everyone to cool it... or Mal, Lucah, or Chugga. Do we blame one of those three or does Tom just yell at everyone?\\

LetsPlay/TomFawkes tells everyone to cool it... or Mal, [[LetsPlay/Lucahjin Lucah]], or [[LetsPlay/Chuggaaconroy Chugga]]. Do we blame one of those three or does Tom just yell at everyone?\\

*** Near the end of the round, [[https://clips.twitch.tv/TsundereFlirtySoymilkNononoCat Jon discovers that the game has a level editor.]] After some initial confusion, he makes a level with no jewels where the spawn point and exit are right on top of each other, named "HELP ME". Because Jon didn't put ''any'' jewels in the level, the exit opens up as soon as the level begins, which lead to [[https://clips.twitch.tv/AlluringClearMagpieOSkomodo this]] happening. Cue the UsefulNotes/{{Speedrunning}} jokes!

** Jon plays ''[[VideoGame/ChocobosDungeon Chocobo Racing]]'', and the game's surprisingly funny writing, complete with plenty of BreakingTheFourthWall and GettingCrapPastTheRadar, pushes him to beat the game on stream.

*** Before Jon even starts the game, G at one point mentions the phrase "all star," which chat [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrek_fandom gleefully]] points out. This leads to Jon [[https://clips.twitch.tv/PoliteNastyKathyMoreCowbell reciting the lyrics]] to the song in WaxingLyrical fashion, his voice filled with nothing but sheer disappointment in chat.

** The final game of the night is ''Legendary'', a terrible, terrible game for the [=PS3=] that Jon bought when he went into a game store and specifically asked the employee for a bad game. Jon manages to cap off 2017 in perhaps the most fitting way possible via a slow descent into madness throughout the entire playthrough.
