History WebVideo / VideoGameConfessions

* CatchPhrase:

* GrievousHarmWithABody: [[spoiler:A murdererer throws [[Franchise/MetalGear Solid Snake]]'s parents' corpses (just roll with it, ask his cardboard box if you have a problem with that) around like nunchucks.]]

* CompanionCube: Solid Snake and his Box. [[spoiler: Subverted because the box turns out be alive.]]

* CompanionCube: Solid Snake and his Box.

* [[PapaWolf Papa Gorilla]]: Donkey Kong.
* PolygonCeiling: Earthworm Jim spends most of his encounter with Dominick ranting about how hard he hit it, particularly sore about how the console's limitations crippled the usual surreal creativity his games brought to light.

* RealityEnsues: Blanka's confession involves a hilarious line of misfortune after misfortune, all related to his electric powers and more than half of which involve someone dying. [[spoiler:He reveals that his confession is his last drink and he's about to be executed for all that.]]

* FakeBrit: Doug Walker, a Chicago resident, as Dominic the bartender, a cockney bloke.

* CreatorsOddball: Unlike Doug's other popular characters who are at the centre of their universe and other people react/interact with their craziness, Dominic is a stoic StraightMan who listens to his clients and just reiterates what they tell him.

->"This is Dominic. Dominic works at as five star restaurant called the Pixel Palace. There, some of video games' most popular celebrities pop in to have a drink. Sometimes, they share stories, and even secrets. Because--as we all know--what the bartender hears is confidential... isn't it?"

As the bartender to some of the most famous characters in the video game world, Dominic has seen and heard many things, and every so often he will sit down and share some of his stories (as well as his artwork) with the people at Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.

* {{Callback}}: The series's very first episode has Mario admitting that Peach seemed to have Stockholm syndrome and has developed a kink for being in cages thanks to being captured so many times. [[spoiler: Princess Daisy later reveals that it is all a clever ploy thought up by Peach herself.]]

* UsefulNotes/FurryFandom: Parodied with [[VideoGame/StarFox Fox McCloud]] becoming a "humany", an animal who likes to dress up as a human.
** Interestingly, the human specifically mentioned being cosplayed is [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Jessica]] [[FridgeBrilliance Rabbit.]]

* OhCrap: Link when he learns the man he was hitting [[spoiler:on was his girlfriend... wife... thing.]]

* ReallyGetsAround: Link. Let's see...[[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Zelda]], VideoGame/KidIcarus, [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Luigi]], The entire cast of ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'', [[VideoGame/{{Qbert}} Q*bert]], and [[Franchise/DonkeyKong DK Jr.]]

* TakeThat: Doug's already publicised hostility toward ''Film/{{Avatar}}'' was taken to mind-breaking levels in the episode for VideoGame/DukeNukem. The episode does criticize what had been delaying production of ''Forever,'' but mostly functioned as a build-up to a shot at ''Avatar.'' And, to an extent
** The Angry Bird episode is this about the war to find the weapons of mass destruction.
** Earthworm Jim episode is a build-up to a dig (no pun intended) on [[spoiler:Mitt Romney's campaign]].

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: [[VideoGame/DukeNukem Duke Nukem's]] vision for ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever'' would involve Creator/JohnnyDepp as a slug monster who shits out real [[TreasureIsBiggerInFiction diamonds]], [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disneyland]] with [[ZombieApocalypse zombified]] inhabitants owned by Creator/AngelinaJolie, a [[AttackOfTheKillerWhatever monstrous]] [[BreathWeapon fire breathing]] [[WeaponizedLandmark Eiffel Tower]] with JerryLewis's head, a [[HumongousMecha mechanical]] biting Mount Rushmore that [[MonumentalBattle fights against]] the Eiffel Tower, a resuscitated UsefulNotes/RMSTitanic with tits, and the [[NukeEm nuking]] of [[ThrowawayCountry Canada]]. And this game would somehow involve all of the actual people, monuments, etc.; money is no object!
