History Funny / PumpItUp

%% ** ... and then Immediately averted with the update 1.02.2 where it [[NeverSayDie removes the visible word DIE]]. It still doesn't [[EarnYourFun make the song any easier]] or less [[JustForPun deadly]].

* Brain Power's background is a modernized version of the original meme's video. If you thought [[MemeticMutation the song's chorus was hilarious]], there are two ways that make its ''Pump'' incarnation even funnier. First, despite the song saying the word "cocaine", the word was censored as [[{{Bowdlerise}} "COXXXXXXX"]] in the BGA alongside a censored stamp. To add humor, when the singer says "Killer Machine", [[SelfDeprecation it displays the Pump It Up XX machine itself]].

** Amusingly, the BGA for the original version of the song featured as an unlock in ''Infinity'' features no such text.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NytLxwQ49h4 "1949"]] from ''XX'' tells the player to [[OhCrap DIE]] and references the [[NonStandardGameOver game over 'Why Don't You Just Get Up And Dance Man']] quote. Made worse that there is a D28 chart, making this [[ThatOneBoss the hardest non-long song chart in the game]]. No, literally HaveANiceDeath...

* ''Pro'' featured [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDRF9fOueac a censored version]] of the [[{{Fanservice}} in]][[MaleGaze fa]][[{{Gainaxing}} mous]] BGA for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4rpLZfxciE "Ba Be Loo Be Ra"]] from ''Exceed''. This is, in fact, ''not'' the first time the video is [[{{Bowdlerization}} toned down]]. The animation was recycled from "It's My Party", a cancelled song in ''Prex 3''; among other changes, the woman's bikini was edited and covered with a miniskirt. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M5eguEHwgc Just see for yourself.]]

* Unintentional example with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_sbk549sMY "Baroque Virus"]] from ''Infinity'' (later crossed over to ''Fiesta 2'') would be a completely serious BGA... if it were not for two words: [[TranslationTrainwreck Iternal]] [[GratuitousEnglish Fight]].

** This was later on patched. The flashes at first in higher difficulties were meant to be a distraction challenge. However, it was cut off due to causing seizures within players.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiCJPXyb1z4 "My Brother is Street Singer"]] from ''NX''. Just as in the song, the protagonist of this video is a teenage girl with a lazy, mooching BigBrotherBully. Except, in the video, ''she actually gets to MegatonPunch '''twice''' him for his trouble.'' Doubles as an awesome moment for the girl for standing her ground.

* [[Music/BigBang BigBang's]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dg8qy4lKeg "La La La"]] from ''NX Absolute'' has three boys engaged in what seems to be a paintball match with toy guns (and spray paint cans, in the case of the boy with a surgical mask). By the end, their game has angered an old woman enough to [[WhenEldersAttack drive them off her turf with a bat]]. If the question marks over their heads at the very end of the song are anything to go by, the boys didn't even get a clue!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV3RWZdgAGw "DJ Otada"]] from ''NX Absolute'' features an extremely bizarre take on an adventure RPG with a trio of [[BountyHunter bounty hunters]] as the protagonists. While the whole video is hilarious, what takes the cake is [[GratuitousNinja Hwang]], the trio's leader, accidentally striking [[BearyFriendly Teddy]] with one of his shuriken during the TrainingMontage sequence, as well as Hwang's exaggerated "OH NO!" afterwards.

** This may have been a reference to the equally comical [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcyGHW08-AM "Mr. Firefighter"]] from ''Zero'', which predates "X-Tree" by a few years and also has a rejected StalkerWithACrush transform into a Godzilla-like monster.

* [[Music/SuperJunior Super Junior's]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJt5JyxrtmE "U"]] from NX Absolute. Two words: [[MoonwalkDance Moonwalking]] {{Dracula}}.

* "Pumptris Quattro"'s Single 17 chart, which is composed entirely of hold steps. The game will give out all Perfects for a hold note so long as you keep it held down the entire time, [[GoodBadBugs even if you "buffer" the note by holding it in advance]]. Some players' solutions to getting all Perfects on the chart? [[EasyLevelTrick Sit down on the panels for the entire duration of the song]]. Unfortunately averted in XX as it is now required to tap on the holds.

* The course "Wanna's Train", in which you play [[Music/{{KARA}} "Wanna"]] ''[[EarWorm five]] [[OverlyLongGag times]]'' in a row.

*** On the other hand, if all players present give out the right answer (as seen in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZRSkfUtl7g this run]]), Hwang will [[WhenSheSmiles "smile"]] and give them a thumbs-up. [[HeartwarmingMoments Awwww!]]

* "Bee" Another Nightmare's chart, a hilariously [[UnwinnableJokeGame impossible]] chart.

** The player can obtain a bonus for "Summoning Roberto" if they one Great among all Perfects. This references an in-joke concerning Mexican player Roberto - an otherwise skilled player who became known for attempting full Perfect combos and failing because of one Great or Miss.

** The second Brain Shower segment is hosted by the Hwangdong Hunters, the protagonists of "DJ Otada". If the player using the left side of the pad gives out a wrong answer, Hwang (the Ninja) will slash the player character's pants [[ComedicUnderwearExposure leaving their underwear exposed]].

* In the otherwise heartwarming [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcbQUh5fz04 "I'll Give You All My Love"]], the protagonist ''overtakes a car on foot'' just to arrive in the highest building in her city and make her potted plant grow. The driver's OhCrap expression sells it.
** She is also chased by two policemen immediately after. Her response? Why, use their police car as a trampoline!
** Speaking of the two policemen, they too are affected by the WorldHealingWave emitted by the protagonist's newly-bloomed flower!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=makUMTuPRlc "I Love You Baby"]] from ''Exceed SE'', later crossed over to ''Zero'', ends with the two lifeguards punching each other ''for no apparent reason at all''. They weren't even fighting over the same girl!

* ''Infinity'' has the song "Girlz Buttz", a song that is about, well, "lookin' at [[XtremeKoolLetterz girlz]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin buttz]]". The video consists of various ''Pump'' players fooling around, while the Routine chart occasionally has either player holding down one set of panels while using their hands to hit the other panels, sticking their ''butt'' out in the process.
