| 4 | * [[https://youtu.be/m9XSQEmoNfw?t=3m50s This is Jim Sterling's savage, biting intellectual impression of Nintendo of America]]. |
| 5 | ** Similarly, in their video mocking Ubisoft, they portray Ubisoft as a stereotypical Frenchman, complete with hilarious accent. |
| 6 | * At the end of "Welcoming a Digital Future", Jim is too absorbed in their Platform/PlayStationVita to round out the episode properly. |
| 7 | * In the "Let's End the FPS Sausage-fest" episode, describing how men in modern shooters apparently reproduce like [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Orks]]. Also, Jim in drag (long before they came out as feminine-presenting non-binary). |
| 8 | * Anything involving "Miniature Fantasy Willem Dafoe." |
| 9 | ** "[[ItMakesSenseInContext If you're very well-behaved they might let you exsanguinate a mongoose, but you can't kill all the pandas.]]" |
| 10 | * When pedophilia is brought into the ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' GayOption debate, they patronisingly lay out the difference concerning pedophilia, and there is a brief moment where they turn the patronisation up to eleven when their voice goes slightly high-pitched. |
| 11 | * Their response to people who [[FourPointScale moan about "biased" reviews]] was that they should hire bananas as review editors. |
| 12 | * Their opening to "Sony's Begging For Piracy", in which they play the main theme to VideoGame/Grandia1 on their PSP and just... just... [[https://youtu.be/ZezfEEpjTj4?t=20s look, just watch it]]. |
| 13 | * Their opening to "I Hate Videogames (Because I Love Them)", mainly in part due to Jim's comical overacting. It starts with a promotional plug for Chick-Fil-A, before Jim spits it out and... |
| 14 | -->''It tastes like hating gay people! *sniffs the food and retches some more* And it smells of fuckin' shit!'' |
| 15 | ** Done again in "In the Hall of the Mountain Dew" where they open the episode by drinking some Mountain Dew, before their eyes widen and... |
| 16 | -->''[waves their hand in front of their face]'' '''''I'VE GONE BLIIIIIIND!!!''''' |
| 17 | ** And then there's their comical despair at continuing to drink it. |
| 18 | -->''It tastes like sugar and hedgehog piss...!'' |
| 19 | * At the beginning of "Xbox One and the death of ownership", Jim Sterling says this: |
| 20 | -->'''Jim Sterling:''' It's Friday morning as I record this. The video itself will be up on Monday, too early to do E3 reactions and too late to do E3 predictions. But it's gotta be ''something'' to do with E3, what would you have of me? Oh if only Microsoft had done something stupid and vile to such a degree it didn't matter whether it was E3 or not, and I'd have material for weeks! (Rapturous joy) Oh wait! YES THEY DID! (Produces massive knives and starts stroking them together) Oh this is gonna be SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD! (Laughs maniacally) |
| 21 | * At the start of "Jimquisition: Changing A Game's Ending And Destroying Art," Jim is talking dirty on the phone. Then they look at the camera in surprise, and quickly put the phone away before finally saying "Fuuuuuuuuuuuck." |
| 22 | * After getting syndication from Escapist Magazine, Jim proudly declares it by stating that they were gonna [[DrunkWithPower abuse the power this gave them]] and declare ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' the "''Film/CitizenKane''" of video games, complete with an EvilLaugh. |
| 23 | * Jim starts their "Previewed, Preordered, Prescrewed" video by destroying a copy of ''VideoGame/AliensColonialMarines'' with the [[VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird Penetrator]], a giant purple dildo bat. |
| 24 | * [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/6945-Emotions-Polygons-and-Ellen-Page This video:]] [[PaperThinDisguise "'Ell-ow. Ah ahm DAH-vid Cage."]] |
| 25 | ** And in the next episode, "[[VideoGame/SimCity SimShitty,]]" they show footage from ''VideoGame/BeyondTwoSouls'' that was released after he finished editing the David Cage episode, which included a plastic-looking Willem Dafoe. |
| 26 | -->'''Jim:''' Now why the hell did they release that ''after'' I finished editing the David Cage episode? |
| 27 | -->'''Miniature Fantasy Willem:''' Who cares? [[DullSurprise I have emotions!]] WAAAAAAHHHH! |
| 28 | * The end of "The Creepy Cull of Female Protagonists," where Jim suggests that anyone who is frightened off by female protagonists [[ArmouredClosetGay might be hiding something.]] But don't worry, because |
| 29 | -->''If you need me to be your Daddy, I will. *[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything slllluuuuurrrrp]]*'' |
| 30 | * "This just in, the Platform/WiiU has just obtained the most sought-after exclusive of this generation -- an ''VideoGame/AliensColonialMarines'' cancellation!" |
| 31 | * Jim's teardown of Tetsuya Nomura's jarring rendition of Batman at the beginning of "Batman Is Everything Wrong With Square Enix" is priceless. |
| 32 | --> "First off, let's look at this "[[AmbiguouslyHuman thing]]" that might almost resemble Batman if you squint a bit. There's too much of him for one thing. [[ScaryImpracticalArmor The angles have angles on them, the armor is clad in armor, the pointy bits are extra pointy and accommodate more points with pointy bits on the pointy bits]], [[PimpedOutCape his cape breaks off at the end for]] ''[[PimpedOutCape more cape,]]''[[PimpedOutCape and is lined with bone that splits off into two extra arms that are skeletons]]. It's so chock-full of details within details that you can barely make out any of the... Well... Details! His face is lost amid the clash of spikes and bones. There's no central focus point. There's nothing for the eyes to home in on. [[RummageSaleReject The very idea of it being Batman is hard to determine behind the dragon wings and pseudo-medieval post-futuristic armor plating. It's gibberish in toy form is what it is]]! Pure unmitigated gibberish.'' |
| 33 | ** Followed up with this gem: |
| 34 | --> "If [[BeigeProse brevity is the soul of wit]], then Square Enix boasts some of the most witless fuckers in video games." |
| 35 | ** And then the rant that concludes the video: |
| 36 | --> "And look, I like weird stuff, but you have to have some sense behind it, some governing direction, or a plan at least. Not just zippers and angles and points and skeletons and bones and Batman and angles and [[TakeThat Rob Liefeld]] and Batman and paradigms and Fal'cie and L'cie and Luminous Engine and hairstyles and hair and zippers and hair and big swords and hair and cocoons and Fabula Nova Crystallis and angles and skeletons and Batman and zippers and belts and belts and hair and zippers and zippers and zippers... ''[the sound gradually fades out, with Jim still rambling as it does]'' |
| 37 | ** Years later, in the video "Kingdom Hearts is Stupid Gibberish," they call back to the figure: |
| 38 | --> "It's like Ultron fucked a Gundam and had a Michael Bay Transformer baby." |
| 39 | * Their invitation for others to join them in an EvilLaugh over the "Xbox 180", complete with a clip of Megatron laughing with Jim's voice, is so perfectly timed that chances are you actually will be joining in. |
| 40 | --> "And now, if you'll join me..." |
| 41 | * In their "Sequel or Slaughter" video, they rounded out their ranting with how they thought all sequels weren't bad if there's justification. In their words, "How could I hate sequels? Look at how much jizz is on this copy of ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' 8!" Some then promptly drips onto their fingers. They lick one of them for some reason and then gags. |
| 42 | ** And that is not the only time they lick things. At the end of "Integrity, Journalism, and Free [=PS4s=]", they licks their "free" Sony-supplied Platform/PlayStation4 [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything while making disturbing noises]] and ends the video with "Did I game journalism or not?". |
| 43 | ** And they do it again in "Who "Won" The Next-Gen Launch?" where they lick an Ouya at the end, only to start gagging and having a bad reaction to its taste. |
| 44 | * In "Dragon's Frown," Jim makes fun of the [[ComplainingAboutPeopleNotLikingTheShow overreaction]] people had to the single bad review of Dragon's Crown, who said that the mediocre score [[DarthWiki/RuinedFOREVER ruined Dragon's Crown forever]]: |
| 45 | -->'''Jim:''' ''*playing on their PS Vita*'' Boy howdy, I sure am enjoying playing ''VideoGame/DragonsCrown'' for a bit. [[TemptingFate I don't think anybody could take away my enjoyment of this game.]] Unless... |
| 46 | --> ''[images of the bad review in question, set to ominous music]'' |
| 47 | --> '''Jim:''' ''*cut back to Jim, the Vita now replaced with a [[Film/{{Alien}} facehugger]]*'' AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH- |
| 48 | * At the end of ''Time To Get Paid,'' Jim keeps their promise from last week's episode and plays with a Dragon dildo [[LoonyFan sent to them by a fan...]] to the tune of the ''Franchise/DuckTales'' theme song no less. It... It really, ''really'' needs to be seen to be believed. |
| 49 | * In the video version of Jim Sterling's game review of ''VideoGame/BeyondTwoSouls'', every single scene with Willem Dafoe is replaced with clips of Willem Dafoe from his live-action movies. Both a riff on Willem as well as a silent riff on the fact that Beyond: Two Souls is more of an interactive movie than a game. |
| 50 | * Their summary of Walking Dead: Survival Instinct in their list of the worst games of 2013: |
| 51 | --> '''Michael Rooker:''' "Merle and Daryl, in a game. What could be better than that?" |
| 52 | --> [{{Beat}}] |
| 53 | --> '''Jim:''' "[[EpicFail Apparently]] '''[[EpicFail most]]''' [[EpicFail things]], Mr Rooker." |
| 54 | * At the start of the Irrational Decisions episode, they open it by saying they had multiple opportunities to make fun of [[Creator/QuanticDream David Cage]], but decided not to because they are a [[BlatantLies mature games journalist]], then poses and smiles smugly. [[BrickJoke At the end of the episode]], they put on a David Cage mask and start dancing around with the [[VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird Penetrator]] flailing in their hand singing "EMOSHUNS EMOSHUNS EMOSHUNS" over and over again. |
| 55 | * This, from "Too Cool To Be Cool": |
| 56 | --> "Instead, [VideoGame/DukeNukem] should be more ironic, like, I dunno, just pulling this at random, some fat blogger with an English whiny accent, dressed up in a trenchcoat with glasses like he's some sort of rock star, with a background that makes it look like he's on a bad production of ComicBook/VForVendetta. You know, something so blindingly, obviously ironic that only a ''fucking idiot'' would take it as a genuine persona." |
| 57 | * Their deconstruction of the term "Social Justice Warrior", culminating in them saying they'd rather be a Social Justice ''Bard'' which quickly devolves into them rambling about their D&D character. |
| 58 | * The video of Grand Theft Australia, which starts out talking about ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'''s removal from Target and K-Mart in Australia, before devolving into Jim waffling about ''VideoGame/CaptainRainbow'' [[NoExportForYou being only released in Japan]]. |
| 59 | * The Amiibo episode opens with Jim struggling to put on their tie correctly, after several comments claimed that it was wrong. When we cut back to Jim at the end of the episode, they've got [[BrickJoke ties on their face and arms]]. |
| 60 | * Lately, at the beginning or end of some Jimquisitions they occasionally use a clip from one of the latest Nintendo Directs where Bill Trinen says "Life's good when you're a Ninja Block." |
| 61 | * "The VideoGame/Splatoon1 That Broke Amiibo's Back" starts with Jim saying that this ''was'' going to be a positive episode in support of the Unity engine, but that will have to wait because "something else cheesed my onions this week and what you really want to hear is a privileged adult man whining about not being able to buy children's toys with all his money! So that's what we're going to do!" |
| 62 | * Their thoughts on the E3 2015 PC Gaming conference. |
| 63 | --> The PC Gaming show happened! (''loooong pause'') And it was almost three hours fucking long. |
| 64 | * "The Mic Trick" calls out Ubisoft's immensely scripted multiplayer demos with "players" talking like they're actually coordinated or adjusting the volume to sound like in-game audio. Jim reenacts a much more realistic online scenario, which includes a bratty teenager angry that he got a [=PS4=] instead of an [=iPhone=], another bratty teenager dropping f-bombs, and someone spamming ''Drops of Jupiter'' by Train. |
| 65 | * "Enjoy the Silence, Feel the Noise" begins and ends with a SAW parody. The ending one doubles up on the funny by giving a Jigsaw like speech while holding Miniature Fantasy Willem Dafoe up close to the Camera. |
| 66 | ** This "Jimsaw" saga persisted throughout October, with it finally coming together in the skits in the Halloween episode "The Golden Sins Of Horror Games." They trap someone they think is Philip Spengler in a death trap meant to drown him in Mountain Dew, with the key being located on the other side of a floor covered in Doritos. As it turns out, the whole thing was orchestrated by Creator/CliffBleszinski, who resented Jim for giving Gears of War 3 an 8 out of 10. As a result, Jim is trapped in Bleszinski's garage in a scene that would please any Saw fan. |
| 67 | ** [=CliffyB=]'s EvilLaugh is also amazing. |
| 68 | ** As fake Phillip Spengler escapes the "death" trap, a fallen Jimsaw screams their revenge. |
| 69 | --->'''Jimsaw:''' You bastard, you think you've won? You've got to go home covered in Mountain Dew! The bees will have you by sun-up! ''(laughs manically)'' Thank god for bees! |
| 70 | * In "The Multiplayer-Only Problem", Jim rounds out the episode with some #FucKonami News concerning Hideo Kojima not being allowed to collect an award for Metal Gear Solid V. After having some choice words for Konami, Jim ends the episode... with a remix of the Game Awards crowd booing set to [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Megalovania.]] |
| 71 | * For their "Worst Games of 2015", Jim randomly dresses up as [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse Skeletor]] to announce their worst games. In the comments, they lampshade that they're a little larger than Skeletor and says "Yes, I'm aware Skeletor let himself go". |
| 72 | * On the episode "VR Troopers," Jim delivers the opening monologue with a VR headset on... that is audibly ''playing porn.'' Of course, they delivers the entire monologue deadpan, [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight without ever mentioning the moaning noises]] coming from their headset. |
| 73 | * In "Unversal Windows Crap", they have their new head researcher Chip on board in response to their mistake on ''VideoGame/TheWitness'' costing $40 and not $20, saying it was their fault he made that mistake. |
| 74 | -->'''Jim:''' While I take full responsibility for everything that happened in the last episode, really that falls on the research department. Doesn't it Chip. |
| 75 | -->'''Chip:''' (''about to talk'') |
| 76 | -->'''Jim:''' [[SuddenlyShouting SHUT UP CHIP]]! As I said I'm going to take full accountability for this ''rookie school boy idiot's error'', and this will be fixed with staff discipline and [[AssShove butt education]]. Role the fucking tape. |
| 77 | * Jim teaching Chip how to be a master of Dark Souls in the beginning of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXUzbcNM6K0 Prepare to Die]]. |
| 78 | * Normally, when a [=YouTube=] video gets a copyright claim from the Content ID system, the claimant gets to either claim all ad revenue on the video, or disable ads entirely. By sheer coincidence, though, Jim noticed that, if you have competing copyright claims on a single video from multiple companies, [[LetsYouAndHimFight they're likely to jam themselves up]] so ''no one'' gets any cash. Jim calls this the "Copyright Deadlock," and explained that the Content ID system made it so that it was actually better to infringe ''as many copyrights as possible'' than to try adhering to the bounds of the law. |
| 79 | -->'''Jim:''' Basically, what I'm trying to say, [=YouTube=], is that it's your fault that Creator/GinaG is about to happen. *cue Ooh Aah (Just A Little Bit)* |
| 80 | -->'''Jim (wearing the most shit-eatingist grin ever):'''I'm going to get my comeuppance one of these days, but not today! *begins dancing with the Penetrator* |
| 81 | ** On the subject of copyright episodes, Jim likes to demonstrate just how much utter ''contempt'' they have for copyright by having extended clips of themselves dancing to "Chains of Love" by Music/{{Erasure}}. |
| 82 | * "Modern Warfare Rebastard" opens with Jim on the phone to the person who created their spiffy new opening and closing credits. They tell them that people thought the flip animation at the end of the opening[[note]]where it transitions to Jim's photo and "By Jim Sterling"[[/note]] was 'cheap', and thus needs changing. Cue the opening credits, the flip transition is replaced with an [[StylisticSuck agonisingly slow, multi-stage 'zoom' animation with desert wind cutting out the music until it's done.]] |
| 83 | ** And then the next episode, "Doom Guy", they says they're going to do it themselves. [[SerialEscalation Cue Born Depressed sung by themselves,]] Website/TheEscapist [[StylisticSuck crossed out, and of course, many spelling errors.]] |
| 84 | ** THEN, the new non-joke intro wasn't finished in time for the next video, so they used the first intro and Jim had to explain why it's back. |
| 85 | * Jim starts their video on the VideoGame/CounterStrike gambling controversy with them visiting "Pogs 4 Boglins", a site where players can bet their Pogs on different Boglins. They win immediately and flip out. |
| 86 | -->'''Jim:''' "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Pogs! Boglins!]] [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs POGLINS!]]" |
| 87 | ** In a followup video, they play "Little Lies" by Music/FleetwoodMac over Tmartn's apology video. |
| 88 | ** Even better, [[https://jesskawaii.itch.io/pogs4boglins#_=_ someone made an actual Pogs 4 Boglins game!]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rty3qGVdBI8 And Jim did a Jimpressions episode on it!]] |
| 89 | * For the episode [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpIlShZ2tEI "Active Time Prattle"]] [[BlatantLies Jim couldn't actually make it back from an expo in time to record the episode,]] so instead it was hosted by [[PaperThinDisguise special guest host,]] [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]]. |
| 90 | ** Jim warns against getting too hyped for the remake of VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII. |
| 91 | --> '''Jim''': We have to remember that it's the [[FallenHero Square Enix of 2015]] that's making it, and it's the [[ScheduleSlip Square Enix of 2033]] that will release it. |
| 92 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDuvyuuVERc Jim]]Franchise/{{SAW}}. Highlights include Jimsaw failing to properly secure Mike to the desk with dollar store handcuffs, Jimsaw's unfortunate suffering of [[MundaneMadeAwesome Deathly Dew Dependence]], Mike somehow managing to find Jimsaw's [[VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird Penetrator]] then knocking Jimsaw out and stealing their boglins much to Jimsaw's dismay, Jim's insistence that they and Jimsaw are not the same person, and amazingly, [[spoiler:Creator/DCDouglas reprising the role of [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Albert Wesker]] right at the end.]] |
| 93 | -->'''[[spoiler:Double Secret President Wesker]]''': At last...I shall become the number one Boglin Boy... |
| 94 | * Jim decides that the Game Awards' Schick Hydrobot corporate mascot is too good not to satirize, and responds with their own creation: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNLemHpDQ60&t=01m22s The Cornflakes Homunculus]]. |
| 95 | ** Now with a (fan-run) [[https://twitter.com/CornHomunculus Twitter account.]] |
| 96 | ** Jim was rather alarmed when ''their own doctor'' greeted them as "the Cornflakes Homunculus himself" at one of their appointments.[[note]]Jim had told their doctor what they did for a living, not realizing their doctor would look them up on [=YouTube=], much less that he would become a fan.[[/note]] |
| 97 | * The Jimpression for ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRN1b60dBus Skylight Freerange 2: Gachduine]]'', a rather dismal attempt at making a ''Mass Effect''-esque RPG. What really gets at Jim is not the game's mediocre nature (though, make no mistake, it is very mediocre), but the fact that the game was released on Playstation 4, complete with a trailer on Sony's official Youtube channel, but it was not available on the wasteland of aborted indie trash that was Steam! |
| 98 | -->'''Jim''': '''''IT WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR STEAM!''''' |
| 99 | * Jim Sterling sums up ''VideoGame/EYEDivineCybermancy'' [[https://youtu.be/D4I64oHN7oY?t=1m43s beautifully]]: |
| 100 | -->It take Deus Ex's gameplay and then proceeds to fuck that gameplay in the eye socket while listening to Cameo's Word Up on repeat. This is a game in which you can hack doors, turrets, computers and even players, but if you fail, the doors will hack you back! This is a game in which your character can become mad, paranoid, or too frightened to fire his gun. In which you can have 32-player co-op, which is totally broken but have it anyway, just fucking have it! One of the monsters is a woman in a white cocktail dress with a massive machine gun, and they never explain why, they don't have to. They're French, they can do what they like! E.Y.E. is basically what Deus Ex would be, if Eidos had spent its time licking toads and drinking Red Bull. |
| 101 | * An NSFW Jimquisition [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meM4yvlhDPA&index=15&list=PLlRceUcRZcK0E1Id3NHchFaxikvCvAVQe episode]] is basically a hurricane of euphemism made by Jim themself. |
| 102 | * [[https://youtu.be/B05hXRDm03I In this episode,]] Jim decides to begin with an unboxing of the Platform/NintendoSwitch. When they open the box, however, they find a... |
| 103 | -->'''Jim:''' [[GoMadFromTheRevelation Dildo?!]] '''''[[SuddenlyShouting DILDO?!?!]]''''' |
| 104 | ** Showing off the Switch to their dog: |
| 105 | --->'''Jim:''' Playing Zelda, buddy. Do you like Zelda? |
| 106 | --->'''Bartleby:''' *Get's up to smell the Switch* |
| 107 | --->'''Jim:''' You like Zelda? Eat the Switch. Eat the Switch! |
| 108 | ** Licking the ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' cartridge and gagging at taste, then proceeding to lick ''VideoGame/OneTwoSwitch'' hoping the taste would be different. It wasn't. |
| 109 | * In response to negative reactions over their bi comments in [[https://youtu.be/dMUBqXkijAw "Fallout 4's S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Relationships"]] (''"I'm not a monogamous guy, and I'm not a straight one neither"''), they went on an extended, rambling monologue at the start of [[https://youtu.be/jeL34nbEo8s "The Blacklist"]], playing their screen persona's SmallNameBigEgo traits to the hilt: |
| 110 | --> "Ever since my video on ''Fallout 4'', a percentage of people out there have been upset with me. I talked about polyamory in that video, I talked about not being straight in that video, and about I talked about how those things relates to yours truly, and in response some people have called me a degenerate for this. One wonders why they chose now to clue into the fact that some degeneracy may be going on, I mean, the [[RunningGag Pog]] [[ExtremeOmnisexual fucking]] didn't give that away? |
| 111 | |
| 112 | -->But anyway, the point is I just want to address that, and say that any degeneracy on my part, any kind of polyamorous behaviour, is '''not my fault'''. Have you any idea what it's like to be ''this'' irresistible to men and women alike? Have you any idea what it's like to be the most desirable, the most ''delectable'' man in games media? No, you don't, because you're ''not me''. |
| 113 | |
| 114 | -->What I do, I do for the good of society. There has to be enough Sterling to go around! (It's at this point that you can make a fat joke and say, 'well, there's plenty of Sterling to go around, we can see it'). The point is, I give of myself, to the whole human race. Anybody who wants a bit comes and gets a bit! Because otherwise, there would be anarchy! Chaos! Imagine a world where you can't bang Jim Sterling. That's not a world which I would want to be a part of." |
| 115 | * The closing comments on ''Why Horizon: Zero Dawn's Success Is Good No Matter Who You Are''. |
| 116 | -->'''Jim''': Now if you'll excuse me, got to get ready for a radio interview. Going to be chatting to Ian Boldsworth of FUBAR Radio, certaintly hope I don't land myself in any hot water or say anything stupid. So long as I don't make [[LetsPlay/PewDiePie any jokes about The Holocaust]] or start [[WebVideo/JonTron espousing some weird xenophobic bullshit]], everything should be fine. Course the chances of that happening are one in a mill- ''*video [[SmashCut abruptly cuts]] to the credits while the [[Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia Always Sunny]] theme plays* |
| 117 | ** Even more amusingly, that gag was actually {{Foreshadowing}} for [[http://www.thejimquisition.com/youtubers-say-the-darndest-things/ the next editorial piece]] on their website. |
| 118 | * The episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6sZkl7STsk Zombies, Spider Heads, Hammers and Menus]]'', another episode on the concept of Asset Flipping, has a number of amusing moments; |
| 119 | ** Strewn throghout the video are clips of the infamous animation blunders from ''Mass Effect Andromeda'', which on its own is a (depressing) sight to behold. However, in the middle of the video, a clip is run of two characters having a conversation where another character in cobalt blue armour walks into the middle of the conversation, silently looks at the screen and walks off again. Jim decides to dub this scene...''with the voice of [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog]]''. |
| 120 | --> '''"Sonic":''' Stay in School! Chill Dogs! |
| 121 | ** Next, there's a compilation of every time Jim has come across a asset flip of [=UnitZ=] (a foundation version of Unturned on the Unity storefront) on Steam Greenlight. There's...a lot of them, and it's clear Jim is getting more and more exasperated each time. In the final clip... |
| 122 | --> "This is a Steam Greenlight trailer for ''Pixel Risin-'' '''NO!''' Noo! NO, YOU! Eee, no! NO! *walks away from the microphone* I! AB! SO! LUT! LY! RE! FUSE! To accept that another one of these '''FUCKING''' things are happening! No! *hits something in the background* Fucking...shit!" |
| 123 | * In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUwzpEE9KsI "Exposure"]], whenever Jim discusses the deplorable actions of Paul Ryan and has to clarify that they're talking about the site owner, not the politician. Better still, they often shows silly altered photos of the Representative whenever talking about Paul Ryan...[[RunningGag Not that one]]. |
| 124 | ** In the follow-up video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHWXpGM7dqQ Paul Ryan: Not That One]] they keep up the gag, except when they ''once'' subvert it by actually referring to Paul Ryan (yes, that one!)... and puts up a picture of Ted Cruz. |
| 125 | * [[http://www.thejimquisition.com/the-jimquisition-preys-demo-arkanes-cock-cigarette/ The 5/15/17 video]] introduced a hilarious new post-credits sequence/character: ''Elite Gaming Wisdom'' with Duke Amiel Du H'ardcore, in which the duke (played by Jim Sterling and depicted as a face-painted, foppish, 18th century French aristocrat) reads actual hardcore gamer comments culled from various online sources in a snobbish, high-pitched voice. He was so popular that he got his own spin-off show, ''Commentocracy,'' in September 2017. |
| 126 | * In the ''Winners & Losers E3 2017'' episode of the Jimquisition, Jim jokingly discusses the rather [[NightmareFuel horrifying implications]] of the reveal that a central gameplay mechanic in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'', will be Mario's hat, Cappy, and its ability to take control over living beings if Mario throws it at them. Jim compares this to the powers of the demon Pazuzu from ''Film/TheExorcist'', and finally tops it off by playing the game's E3 trailer, but with the sounds of the Headcrab Zombies from ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' (you know, the ones constantly screaming "Oh, god! Help me!" backwards) playing over it. |
| 127 | * In September 2017, Randy Pitchford of Gearbox acted like he'd forgotten Jim's name as a TakeThat and was roundly mocked for it. Jim's snap-back is a thing of beauty: |
| 128 | -->'''Jim:''' For today's video I would like to give a shout-out to my main man R...r...bleh bleh...what's the guy? He has glasses, wears these cheap-looking velvet suits, does magic tricks, lies a lot...Blandy Pitchfraud? Mandy Pelch...felch? I'm sorry, I've ''completely pretended to forget your name''. |
| 129 | * The opening of "The Mighty Has Fallen", in which Jim pauses for a ''very'' long time after making a joke about the then-recent resignation of David Cameron, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, after failing to prevent Brexit. You can tell Jim is trying to save face while processing the full ramifications. |
| 130 | ** The ending which has some bathos lent to it by Jim's {{Corpsing}}. |
| 131 | ---> '''Jim:''' This whole shit is crowdfunded! Y'know, I'm only here being able to say and do as I please without some overseer because of you people who have very kindly given me money. Some of you. You know, some of you are just watching for free, you fucking ''parasites''. ''[[[{{Corpsing}} corpses]]]'' That was a joke! That was a joke. I surprised myself with my own goof! I've been goof-bushed by myself, I'm sorry. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Thank God for you all, whether you're backing or not.]] Thank you for watching and enjoying the show. If you ''do'' enjoy it. If not, you're a fuckin' prick, so...[[CatchPhrase thank god for me!]] |
| 132 | ---> ''[{{Beat}}]'' |
| 133 | ---> '''Jim:''' [[BrickJoke The UK is fucked.]] |
| 134 | * The opening dialogue of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZvSPjQe9Hk Fuck Skyrim]]" concludes with this: |
| 135 | ---> '''Jim''' (resplendent in a Dovahkin hat): Enjoy your fuckin' selves, you bunch of-\ |
| 136 | '''Cutaway''': '''''♪ WesternAnimation/SkeletonWarriors! ♪''''' |
| 137 | * The opening of "Should They Have Done More With VideoGame/DarkSouls Remastered?" has Jim, wearing a knight's helmet, pouring orange juice over their head while yelling "ESTUS IS BESTUS!" |
| 138 | -->'''Jim:''' ''(laughing)'' That'll be someone's kink! |
| 139 | * "Pity Poor Waluigi" has Jim complain for a bit about Waluigi getting less of TheMerch than piranha plants, only for a revelation to strike: |
| 140 | -->'''Jim:''' Fucking piranha plants get more love than Waluigi does, and [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny holy shit is that a piranha plant puppet]], fuck yes. Oh, and I guess that's why they make piranha plant stuff, actually, because I am buying this as I speak. |
| 141 | * "From Battle Pass to Battle Ass" has Jim calling out [[VideoGame/PlayerUnknownsBattlegrounds PUBG]] for its lower-quality Event Pass, for a game that you have to pay to play to begin with, but it's the particular language that will invoke the lulz. |
| 142 | -->'''Jim''': Not only do you need to fuck off, you need to fuck off from wherever it is you fuck off ''to'', because the people living wherever you fuck off to [[PersonaNonGrata won't want to deal with you, either]]! Fuck off twice!! |
| 143 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ_I9-CkzDE The Great Atari Ransack]] has their apt description of ''Asteroids: Outpost'': |
| 144 | -->'''Jim''': What is... ''Asteroids: Outpost?'' Well, it ain't fuckin' ''Asteroids''. |
| 145 | ** Followed with: |
| 146 | -->'''Jim''': You remember that [[ThatOneLevel shitty asteroids shooting segment]] from the first ''VideoGame/DeadSpace''? Yeah, it's ''that'', intermingled with a stripped-down version of first-person survival games as you blast the asteroids, go out to harvest ore from them, and then build shit out of the materials. The game itself, designed entirely for an online [=MMO=] experience [[EpicFail has failed out the gate]] because it's ''dead''. Nobody plays it. I struggled to find an open server, and [[HopeSpot when I did]], it was ''[[{{Robinsonade}} bereft of other life]]''. And it was ''shit'', and ''boring''. And really, really ''shit''. ''Asteroids: InNameOnly, and shit''. |
| 147 | * "Ubisoft and the Division of Content" opens with an introduction to the new storefront for TheMerch: |
| 148 | -->'''Jim:''' Hey idiot! Do you like spending money? Do you like wearing bollocks across your chest? Do you like complaining about exorbitant international shipping prices that we wish we could reduce but currently have no control over? Then get your soft little hiney over to The Jimporium, where you can buy shit and tat from us! Shirts and badges and hats and, you know, bollocks like that! Go over there and have a look! ...After you watch the video, please. |
| 149 | * "EA Should Lose The Franchise/StarWars License": Well, ''yes'', but also, Jim's Star Wars OC, Dingo Manburger, who looks like Jim, in black, wearing a bucket on their head with eyes and a mouth stuck on, yellow rubber gloves, a tinfoil sash, and a gold necklace with prawns on it. Dingo's backstory includes failing to catch Han Solo once, punching Boba Fett in the helmet so hard he fell over, and inventing Chewie's bandoleer, and apparently he's Force-sensitive. |
| 150 | -->'''Jim:''' DO NOT STEAL DINGO MANBURGER! |
| 151 | * "Kingdom Hearts is Stupid Gibberish": Partway through the video, Jim tries to explain the convoluted story of Kingdom Hearts, with a timer at the bottom. Before they even get to start, they're confused by some of the game titles, such as Kingdom Hearts HD II.8 Final Chapter Prologue and another one they pronounce as 'Chi Unchained Chi Union X Back Cover'. When the explaining does get underway, there's a lot of editing and cuts, which is for good reason. The final timer count at the end of the segment comes out at over ''25 minutes''. |
| 152 | * In "The Social Shitshow Cycle", Jim tells corporations that they're trying too hard to look with-it and connected and up-to-date and edgy, mixing in a bit of SelfDeprecation: |
| 153 | -->''And this is coming from '''me''', [[SelfDeprecation someone who looks like]] WesternAnimation/PorkyPig joined a {{steampunk}} Music/GreenDay! Come on!'' |
| 154 | * In "Five Golden Rules for Steam Early Access" has pretty much the entirety of their fifth rule: |
| 155 | -->'''Jim''': And rule 5, you know what, fuck it, just no more first-person survival games with "crafting and zombies", okay? It's done. It's played. Oh, by the sweet rosy asscheeks of Satan's thirdborn son is it done, ''done'', '''''done'''''. Unless you have something ''significantly'' fresh and exciting to bring to that particular sub-genre, and let's face fact: [[MortonsFork you fuckin' don't]], then just don't bloody bother, because the dirty gray dumpster baby you're gonna squirt in our eyeholes just ain't fuckin' worth it. You can only punch trees to make cabins while [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal generic green-faced groaners]] lurch at you ''so many times'' before the sheer, sickening idea, of playing another one of these cookie-cutter exercises in mundanity makes you want to [[BodyHorror spurt vomit from your own anus]] ''out of the sheer perverse need of something unique to happen in your life!'' You'd think relying on such a stale and overdone formula would have at least established a quality baseline. It's not like you're spending your time coming up with original ideas, settings, art or mechanics, but no! [[SturgeonsLaw They're almost all fuckin' shit to boot!]] [[GoodCannotComprehendEvil Like, I don't even know how these games are all shit, it shouldn't be possible!]] Here we have, as close as we can get to a physical representation of a thousand monkeys and a thousand typewriters, ''and yet none of them are advancing in any way, shape or form!'' You Unity asset using, Kevin [=MacLeod=] music using, ''criticism dodging, zombie shiteing'' '''''tools'''''! |
| 156 | * Jim puts a positive spin on things in "The Exploitation of Apolitical Politics": |
| 157 | -->"I recently entered a competition to win an all-expenses-paid trip to having ''fucking bronchitis'', and I won!" |
| 158 | * The introduction to "The Problems with the Epic Store" is also gold; they claim that after a divisive period lots of people on the Internet are trying to find ways to hurt them, and then tells them not to bother, they watched ''Puppet Master'', ''Hideous'', ''Head of the Family'', ''Blood Dolls'', ''Dollman'' and ''Demonic Toys'', all in the previous two days, all by choice, so there's ''nothing left to take from them''. |
| 159 | * "A Difficult Subject", a video made in response to the controversy of a game journalist using cheats to defeat the end boss of ''VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice'' (a subject that is still a matter of great contention), sees the [[https://youtu.be/nIWivb-8C1w?t=445 triumphant return of Duke Amiel]] after taking a break to deal with the consumption to poke fun at one particularly notorious and [[MemeticMutation meme-worthy]] hot take aimed at the journalist in question. |
| 160 | -->''"You cheated not only the game, but yourself. You didn't grow. You didn't improve. You took a shortcut and gained nothing. You experience a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained. It's sad that you don't know the difference." Royston, Royston! I just roasted me a soy-boy casual neckbeard!'' |
| 161 | * The ColdOpening of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc2TJacPPwg The Exploitative Push For Social Networking In Games]] has [[StylisticSuck Jim's face poorly photoshopped onto a stock image of a cat, poorly singing]] [[Theatre/{{Cats}} "Memories"]], a jab at the poorly received trailer for the ''Theatre/{{Cats}}'' [[Film/{{Cats}} film adaptation]]. |
| 162 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HNQ7ysT4MA "The Political Agenda of Dark Souls"]]: Even in a video that contains the line "Anor Londo is the Brexit bus", [[LargeHam Baron von Breadknife]] stands out. |
| 163 | -->'''Jim:''' ''[[https://twitter.com/Nichtschwert/status/1166645647006732289 Thank God for Baron von Breadknife]]'' [[WhoWritesThisCrap what the fuck am I doing?]] |
| 164 | * ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANu0vnISD0E A Bitter Post-Mortem Of Modern Warfare Remastercarded]]'' has Jim's explosive reaction (even the gameplay footage they show goes insane!) to Activision going so far as to force players into: |
| 165 | -->'''Jim''': PREORDERING NINE-YEAR-OLD DLC FOR A NINE-YEAR-OLD GAME THAT COULD ONLY BE BOUGHT WITH A LESS POPULAR GAME AND CAME WITH BRAND-NEW MICROTRANSACTIONS HO-[-''LY''-] [--'''''SHIT!'''''--] |
| 166 | ** Throughout the episode, Jim continuously voices their bewilderment over incorporating crafting in ''[=MW:R=]'', culminating in them demanding someone to craft Bobby Kottick's resignation paper, and then as Jim covers ''Gears of War: Ultimate Edition'' (or as they dubbed it, ''Quasi-''Ultimate Edition): |
| 167 | -->'''Jim''': ...and with ''Modern Warfare Remastered'' ''[[SarcasmMode "enjoying"]]'' [=F2P=] economies, cosmetic grinding and ''(moves away from microphone)'' [-''FUCKING CRAFTING?!''-] |
| 168 | * When "Let's Get Pissy About In-Game Subscriptions" inevitably leads into lambasting "[[VideoGame/Fallout76 Fallout 1st]]," said portion of the video is introduced with a ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRctpVIVyYQ&feature=youtu.be&t=597 35-second rave]]'' dedicated to calling Bethesda stupid and bad. |
| 169 | ** Even more hilariously, that 35-second rave became a RunningGag for future Bethesda-related videos...at which point Bethesda went on something of a tear when it came to finding new ways to screw up ''Fallout 76'', leading Jim to lament in a video about one such screwup that they were worried about running the joke into the ground in record time and ultimately leading them to play the entire thing in fast-forward. |
| 170 | * "The Fucking Terminator" introduces Jim's Franchise/{{Terminator}} cosplay, which is Jim [[StylisticSuck with their head wrapped in aluminium foil and a pair of red patches for eyes]]. In TheStinger, Jim uses this amazing costume to... Deliver an anti-smoking {{PSA}} in a [[OopNorth terrible northern accent]]. |
| 171 | -->'''Jim:''' ''Hasta la bamba'', baby, it's me, th' Terminator! Now, we all 'ave a lot of fun in th' ''Terminator'' series o' films, but do you know what's not fun? ''Smokin'.'' So if yer dad gives you a cigarette, tell 'im: "Fook off dad, I'm not smokin' today. I'm not an idiot".\ |
| 172 | ''[{{beat}}]''\ |
| 173 | '''Jim:''' ''*In regular voice*'' ...I need to get this thing off my head.''*[[{{Corpsing}} starts laughing]]*'' I ''genuinely'' need this off my head. |
| 174 | * In a parody of the attacks on Laura Bailey for something her character did in ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'', Jim starts out the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1H_6OUZ1ZI "When Inane Creeps Attack Actors for Something A Fictional Character Did"]] video by sending a letter to Creator/FrankWelker chastising him for [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie killing Optimus Prime and attacking Autobot City]]. Of course, even for a joke Jim is too classy to send something like a death threat, so they merely threaten to make him [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment sit in bolognaise with no pants]]. |
| 175 | --> '''Justin, from offscreen''': Now we do Creator/JoshBrolin! |
| 176 | ** They then offer "advice" to people who seem unable to tell if video games are real or not, such as touching your own face, eating tree bark, or looking outside to see if there are any mushroom zombies walking around. |
| 177 | * While it's not a great situation in real life, Jim's entire explanation in "Vexed Generation" that their specifically royalty free music ''[[RefugeInAudacity has been claimed]]'' underlines the utter absurdity of the situation. |
| 178 | --> '''Jim''': ''I'' did the stupid thing, and used royalty free music. So, yeah, ''that got claimed.'' |
| 179 | ** Also for that video, Jim's ''epic'' HeroicBSOD while unboxing a 30 year old ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' toy, complete with an onlooking boglin shedding a SingleTear, simply has to be seen to be believed. |
| 180 | * The opening of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCNJni1kp2E The 'CD' Stands For 'Crunching Developers']] has Ji- errr, 'Commander Sterling' go completely ham over their new championship belt and/or COVID isolation, proudly showing off their new belt, a set of ''WesternAnimation/StreetSharks'' animation cells, and [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Craig dressed up as a Reindeer as a backup dancer]]. |
| 181 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUoo6vv0k2U "Song of Cyberpunk"]], a satire of the many controversies surrounding ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'', complete with an [[LyricalDissonance overly cheerful tune]] detailing horrible working conditions, back-up reindeer dancers, bright and happy backgrounds, [[PainfulRhyme terrible rhymes]], and Jim wholeheartedly admitting that the song is only [[SelfDeprecation slightly less cringy]] than the game itself. |
| 182 | * In their surprisingly positive review of ''VideoGame/{{Hades}}'', they refer to Dionysus as their "wine boyfriend", and intros it with The Orion Experience's song "The Cult of Dionysus". |
| 183 | * The aliases that Jim comes up with to protect the identities of the reps that keep sending them sponsorship offers are a real hoot [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaisAWgY4WQ in their episode about their staunch refusal to accept any sponsorship proposals.]] The 9 different reps from the company BBTV who've been sending them emails are thus named, Brutus Inconspicuous, Wednesday Flavor, "Smooth" Rory Racetrack, The Howling, Jester's Choice, Ashford Mashford, '''HENK''', Sweet Potato Chips and Doctor Clunge, the last of which is visualized by a surgeon who looks a little too enthusiastic about watching 2 dogs getting their freak on while a third dog looks disturbed by the whole situation. |
| 184 | ** The ep also marks the return of Number 1 Top Media Influencer, Cucumber Succulence, who's shilling for a "bleeding edge" face mask product (read: a brown paper bag) and showing how it's used in conjunction to your daily routine, which is to say while it completely obscures your face. |
| 185 | --> '''Cucumber Succulence:''' [wildly swaying controller and randomly mashing buttons] HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'M A GAMER! I'M A GAMER! |
| 186 | ** CS's segment ends with remembering to [[TooDumbToLive "disinfect your lungs" by pumping sanitizer right into the mouth,]] and signing off with a horrible grimace [[{{Squick}} from the taste of the sanitizer.]] |
| 187 | --> '''Cucumber Succulence:''' [clearly disgusted by the taste of sanitizer] GUHUHUHUHUHUH! OHH HO HO, HEALTH! |
| 188 | * A semi-RunningGag of an AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption, wherein there's a SmashCut to Richard LaRuina standing in a meadow, declaring Steph to be a "fuck-en prick!" in a deadpan voice. |
| 189 | |
| 190 | -->Life's good when you're a fuck-en prick! |
| 191 | -->Here's a TV that looks like a fuck-en prick! |
| 192 | -->Jim Sterling: fuck-en prick! |
| 193 | * In "The Delicious Failure Of [=NFTs=] In Gaming", Stephanie's wrestling opponent threatens to beat them, take a picture, and [[BerserkButton turn it into an NFT]]. |
| 194 | * At the end of "Diablo Immortal: Activision Blizzard's Latest Scam", Jim goes on a long TheReasonYouSuckSpeech about Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick. Their husband points out there's a non-zero chance Kotick will watch the video and masturbate to it. |
| 195 | -->Remember to thank God for me when you cum. |
| 196 | * In "The Misadventures of Steam's Most Unlikeable Developer", Justin was going to include the Twitter thread of said developer, but [[SuckinessIsPainful developed a headache after a minute of reading it]] and thus replaced it with [[RelaxOVision stock footage of a bunny rabbit]]. |
| 197 | ** Less than a week after the video, the man in question tried to harass Steph online. Steph's refusal to talk to him (or even acknowledge him directly) led to him upping the harassment and trying to get Twitter to suspend them, which resulted in [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Twitter investigating and then banning him]]. And then he posted incoherent rants in ''Domina'' patch notes, including renaming it ''Dominus'' to mock transgender {{Meaningful Rename}}s, which got him permanently banned from Steam and the game delisted. Naturally, Stephanie had a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAKjhFcscnI field day]] once all was said and done. |
| 198 | ---> '''JSS''': Not once did I quote tweet him, not once did I reply to him. [...] I wish I could take the credit for knocking a fashy little 'phobe off Twitter, but he ''did it to himself''. |
| 199 | ** In the original video, Jim says they that [[TaughtByExperience they know this game well enough now]] to know that the developer will probably send them uninspired transphobic and fatphobic comments, "like clockwork", which did indeed happen almost immediately. What Jim didn't anticipate was the developer taking offence to their pro-wrestling career of all things, leading to them calling him [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking transphobic, fatphobic, and wrestlephobic]]. |
| 200 | * "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49nZmOAP12M The Last Of Us Part I Has The Worst Graphics Of All Time]]" is Jim taking another axe to people who make nitpicky complaints about graphics, using ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs: Part I'' as an example. They use such minor nitpicks as leaves not moving in water, the pixels showing after an extreme zoom-in, and a single clipped texture to "prove" that ''The Last of Us'' "looks like shit" and isn't worth the money. After about ten minutes of this, Jim finally gives up the ghost and admits that they were in SarcasmMode the whole time. However, Jim notes that [[PoesLaw some examples they found of genuine attitudes like these were even more ludicrous]], such as "Puddlegate" from ''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4'' where some people complained that puddles were missing from later gameplay footage. As a parody of that, Jim unleashes their "smoking gun", complete with multiple overlays, visual effects, and ''James Bond''-like visuals, only to build up to [[AntiClimax a single clipping texture]], all while talking like they're making a grand revelation. The sarcasm never lets up for even a moment, and it's hilarious. |
| 201 | ** They parody lore videos by drawing a random bunch of [[NoticeThis red lines and circles]] over screenshots, that don't actually indicate anything, but are there to show how smart they are. |
| 202 | ---> '''Jim''': Check this out! If I add two vertical lines here, an oval over here, two more vertical lines, a curly point just here, [[spoiler:a circle, two triangles, smiley face and whiskers, [[{{Metaphorgotten}} I've drawn a little cat!]]]] |
| 203 | ** They talk about how Joel and Ellie's scene with the giraffe is a touching scene of finding a moment of hope and peace amid misery and suffering, before claiming that Naughty Dog ruined it because [[ViewerSpeciesConfusion they can't draw horses]]. |
| 204 | ---> '''Jim''': What were they thinking when they birthed this fucking alien? It's yellow! It's massive! And what the hell is wrong with its neck? If that's a horse, I'm a goddamn polar bear! |
| 205 | * According to “[[https://youtu.be/uNKyQVsgKLg Hogwarts: A Legacy of Hate]]”, nobody has ever said that ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' is bad or stupid, and so Jim decides to lay down every problem they have with the franchise (besides J.K. Rowling’s transphobia) in the intro. Namely, that the Wizarding World claims to be more high-class than the Muggle world, and yet... |
| 206 | ---> '''Jim''': We have phones! They use owls! ...Chuds. |
| 207 | ---> '''Jim''' (as Hagrid): What, noooo! We don’t ride cars in the Wizarding World! We fly about on flippedydoos! |
| 208 | ---> '''Jim''': I could, right, get a UsefulNotes/McDonalds, or I could eat BonBons that taste of literal sick and mucus? And we’re supposed to think this is charming and quaint? Well, it’s not! |
| 209 | ** So how would Jim sort it all out? [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim Bring a gun.]] [[BadassBoast It only has one spell.]] |
| 210 | ---> '''Jim''': Bang! That’s your Voldemort problem taken care of! Bang! Bang! That’s the fuckin’ snake! |
| 211 | ---> '''Phoenix''': Two for the snake? |
| 212 | ---> '''Jim''': It’s long, innit? |
| 213 | ** Jim confusing Gringotts with Olivanders. Not like they care; not even if the wand shop is called Olivia Newton John’s. |
| 214 | ** “Nagini, help! They’ve got a fucking glock!” |
| 215 | * The video on ''VideoGame/StreetFighter6'''s excellent Modern Control system has a joke about how Jim wants to be Ryu's long-term girlfriend, that starts getting [[OverlyLongGag far too detailed]] about their hypothetical relationship and includes hardships they've suffered like how he once lost his job, their parents getting pushy about kids, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick that time Shadaloo brainwashed them into trying to kill him]], which they apparently see as a funny couple joke now. The cherry on top is Jim apologizing to their subtitler for the long, off-script rant. |
| 216 | * In "No Sex Please, We're Straight" video about the backlash against ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'' having queer and sexual content, Stephanie takes a moment to wonder how a game where all the sexual content is completely optional is still too much sex for some people. They then turn it into a HumbleBrag session about how even the ''most'' sexual playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3 is still conservative compared to [[ThePornomancer their own love life]]. |
| 217 | * "Silent Hill: Ascension Is F*cking Disgusting" |
| 218 | ** Stephanie accidentally knocks off their glasses while inside their [[Characters/SilentHill2 Pyramid Head]] costume. When asked why they're wearing glasses under that mask, Stephanie answers "So I can see." Their tone shows they're prefectly aware how stupid that answer is. |
| 219 | ** The show's group chat was shut down because too many people were thirsting for Hideo Kojima or Pyramid Head's semen. |
| 220 | ---> '''Stephanie''': Yummy yummy yummy, I want cummy in tummy! |
| 221 | ** There's an actual song based on that joke at the end of the video. |
| 222 | [[/folder]] |
| 223 | |
| 224 | [[folder:Squirty Plays / Jimpressions]] |
| 225 | * A [[http://youtu.be/WT0GSPxf0vw test play]] of ''The Slaughtering Grounds'', a notoriously bad Early Access game was met with a [=YouTube=] video of the creator, Digital Homicide LLC., angrily lashing back at Jim. Jim did their own commentary over THAT, calling it the "Inception Special," and couldn't stop giggling at "I'm Jim [[PrecisionFStrike Fucking]] Sterling, son!" |
| 226 | ** It eventually became an InsultBackfire, as "I'm Jim Fucking Sterling, Son" was soon turned into one of Jim's {{Catch Phrase}}s. It even got turned into a T-shirt. |
| 227 | * Their Let's Play of ''Dark Shadows: Army of Evil''. The leaden narration (''"She's not just ''any'' woman -- you are in love with her after all!''"), the "tutorial", invisible items everywhere, the blood spatter which doesn't fade and continues to collect on the screen to just to mock Jim, the humans in monster "[[WeirdnessCensor disguises]]"...the list goes on. |
| 228 | -->"''Giraffes.'' [[GlobalIgnorance Giraffe topiary.]] Why not?" |
| 229 | * In ''Guise of the Wolf'', they are equal parts amused ''and'' annoyed at the game's [[CrueltyIsTheOnlyOption lack of gravity]] when they're busy mauling people. They ponder what the alchemist ought to say. ('WTF YOU BLOODY IDIOT YOU TWAT") |
| 230 | * During their test play of ''The Forgotten Ones'', Jim finds a LetsPlay/PewDiePie trading card (complete with the "Jabba the Hutt" fanmix) and is silent for an entire minute and [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain doesn't mention it afterwards]].\ |
| 231 | ...Until their "Top Ten Shittiest Games of 2014" video, in which they declared that the offending segment was all he needed to say about it. |
| 232 | * Their Squirty Play of The Alien Wasteland is utter hilarity from end to end due to the game's utter brokenness. It ends with them exploiting the glitch that made their weapons inaccessible on their first play attempt [[spoiler:to finish the game in the second of nine intended waves.]] |
| 233 | * Jim did a Squirty Play of ''A Mass of Dead'' and declared it to be boring. Two weeks later, they do a Squirty Play of ''the same game'', believing it was a game they didn't cover yet. Jim is puzzled at how there's already save data for the game and it's only when he starts to play the game that he realizes they covered the game previously. They excuse their flub up by saying that all the crappy zombie games they've been playing are ''that'' forgettable because of how samey they all look and feel. |
| 234 | * Jim's squirty plays always begin with "Hello you [adjective] [noun]!" with said adjective and noun being something gross, offensive, or both. In Jim's early access squirt of ''Better Late than Dead'', they wind up laughing at their own opening when they normally don't laugh at them and then explains how the image of what they just said was too funny to not laugh at. |
| 235 | --> '''Jim''': Hello you [[AndIMustScream sentient silently screaming fuckrags!]] *{{Beat}}, followed by snickering* Sorry, I normally don't laugh at my own intros. |
| 236 | * "Enjoy [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VZaQbQtZY4 this show]], and ''[[Film/TheDarkKnight let's do a smile near your face]]''!" |
| 237 | * As they are playing Jotun, they have this reaction: "[[https://youtu.be/grK3Le2L1UM?t=15m30s Fucking hell, it's me.]]" |
| 238 | * Similar to the laughing fit they had in their squirty play of ''Better Late than Dead'', Jim plays ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsIII'' and notes the guy in main menu has some cool armor, but Jim themself can't wear it because they're too fat. Jim then bursts out laughing at their own statement. |
| 239 | * In their squirty play of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0NFpx6jOa4 GASP]], after over six minutes of completely uneventful travel time, Jim finds a box on the ground. |
| 240 | -->'''Jim:''' Ah, here we go, content!\ |
| 241 | ''Jim tries to interact with the box,to no avail.''\ |
| 242 | '''Jim:''' C... con... content...\ |
| 243 | ''beat''\ |
| 244 | '''Jim:''' *''jumps''* Conteeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnt...\ |
| 245 | ''beat''\ |
| 246 | '''Jim:''' C... c... content? *''mumbles weakly''* content... |
| 247 | ** Towards the end, Jim then starts doing the video as a few NASA Video Reports. Eventually however, Jim grows so bored they end up playing with their 3DS instead. |
| 248 | * During Jim's Squirty Play of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0JPz1EWe-g Genesis Online]], they start working on a house while absentmindedly discussing recent events with threats from indie developers. As they talk, they get carried away and start tilling the soil all around their house. They till about half of the grass on the map before they realize what they've been doing. |
| 249 | -->'''Jim:''' ...Speaking of shit! I mean what the fuck did...what did I just do here?! What was this? |
| 250 | * Jim's Squirty Play on Morphine truly must be seen to be believed. |
| 251 | * Their Early Access Squirt for ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac1OOOLcDI0 [=MadOut=] Open City]]''. [[spoiler:All three minutes of it, as Jim [[GameBreakingBug gets their car stuck on a fence]] about a minute and 30 seconds in, and it just ''stays there''.]] |
| 252 | * Near the end of their Squirty Play of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUtuBlrrSbE Autobahn Polizei]], they end up sending their car flying off of the street. They then head for the city in the background...[[spoiler:''only to send their car falling out of the map.'']] |
| 253 | -->'''Jim:''' This is the Autobahn! |
| 254 | ** The lead up to this moment is just as hilarious, as what sends Jim's car flying off the street was simply nudging the roadside rails... |
| 255 | -->'''Jim:''' hahahahaha...''AUTOBAHN!'' |
| 256 | ** Near the beginning, they attempt to name the character "Chungus"...but because they're "[[CantHoldHisLiquor hungover as fuck]]", he accidentally types in ''"Chumgis"'', and just goes with it. |
| 257 | * At the end of a Live Squirt for ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysWorld'', [[https://youtu.be/2NNZP_pDGLE?t=3824 Jim...has a bit of a breakdown.]] |
| 258 | * Jim's early access squirt of ''Dungeons of Kragmore'' has them playing a game that is not only made by Digital Homicide, but they actually fight Robert in the game itself and promptly get their ass kicked by him. Jim takes it in stride and has a laugh at it for the revenge Robert got on them. |
| 259 | * When Jim first jumps into ''Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade'', they get fatally wounded, [[OhCrap and notice a few enemy marines traipsing towards them]]: |
| 260 | -->'''Jim:''' Help! Help, I got shot! Oh, no! No, no! Get away! Oh, god, no, that's my chest! And my bollocks! I keep all my organs in there! God damn it... |
| 261 | * In their Jimpressions of ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants In Manhattan'', while talking about 80s franchises, they, because they were discussing ''VideoGame/TransformersDevastation'' at the time, accidentally say that the ''Transformers'' like pizza when criticizing the game's writing. Funny on its own, but then they pre-empt the comments that would have corrected them about it in the comments section. |
| 262 | * As Jim plays the Stick Shift game in ''Radiator 2'', they get pulled over by a police officer and blows him a kiss, adding 10 minutes to their timer. Not knowing what the timer meant, Jim kept smashing the keyboard to spam the kissing, pounding it for several minutes until the timer reached 3 ''days''. They then realized that the timer means how long they would be locked out until they could play the game again, although they mistake the 3 day lockout as 3 hours. |
| 263 | * The end of their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwaVUwbIf0w Squirty Play/Jimpression]] of ''I Will Escape''. [[spoiler:[[https://youtu.be/WwaVUwbIf0w?t=1045 To begin with]], Jim's character is crouched and is sneaking through the building. And then the moment he stands up, [[ObviousBeta he permanently grows]] ''[[LeanAndMean extremely]]'' [[ObviousBeta tall]]. Jim's [[BigWhat reaction]] is priceless, even saying that their character now has the proportions of [[Memes/SuperSmashBros Pikaman.]] At the very end, they not only escape the building, but also ''falls out of the map'' and gets a GameOver.]] |
| 264 | -->'''Jim:''' Wow. Wow. [[PrecisionFStrike Fuck you.]] That's all I can say to that one! |
| 265 | * The [[MadLibsCatchPhrase "Hello, you ______"]] in their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Gd41YB9mAc Nier: Automota video]] is probably one of the most flawlessly executed puns ever put to video. |
| 266 | * Their Jimpression of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcZ5qnKkCNk Blood Feed]] is very hilarious the entire way through, and what sets it over the edge is them constantly screaming different versions of "BLOOD FEED!" |
| 267 | * In their Jimpressions video for [[https://youtu.be/28nRCANVAVk?t=2m13s Fish for Gold]], the game's ''excessively'' loud sound effects serve as a surprisingly effective JumpScare, able to scare the living piss out of Jim. |
| 268 | * The Jimpression of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzL0AOLvYok Road Redemption]]'' has Jim having a whale of a time playing a ''VideoGame/RoadRash'' SpiritualSuccessor. |
| 269 | * Their Jimpression of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9gsSpM_GSY Assassin's Creed Origins]]'' has them getting sidetracked by the accents in the game, a train of thought that ends in them saying that Creator/BenKingsley should have been in the game. No, not a character played by Ben Kingsley, ''the actual actor'' somehow in Ancient Egypt with no one questioning it. |
| 270 | * In their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD5OImWrrWE Jimpression]] for ''VideoGame/SonicForces'', Jim has to mention time and again that they are ''[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial not]]'' saying that it was better than ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'' [[note]]Just that it pissed them off less than ''Breath of the Wild''[[/note]], as well as mentioning the fact that a lot of people were expecting them to pan the game when, in truth, they found it to be fairly decent. |
| 271 | -->'''Jim''': "Long story short, I give this game [...] an S-Rank...no, that's too much, a C+." |
| 272 | * Their Jimpressions video of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC1sX1Xzdys Cart Racer]] features them in such a state of anger that they admit they never felt before towards a game on their channel before. They have to endure very slippery controls, rather unfunny RagdollPhysics and failing to even get in the shopping cart. ''[[HarderThanHard On the second level of the game.]]'' There is also them repeating sentences as they try to get in the cart, like this: |
| 273 | -->'''Jim''': All day. All day if I have to. ''(fails)'' All day if I hav- ''(fails)'' All day if I have to. ''(fails)'' All day if I have to. ''(fails)'' [[MadnessMantra All day if I have to.]] |
| 274 | ** The beginning where they see the player character breaking physics by having one of his feet clipping into the ground and the other one levitating: |
| 275 | --->"That's not how you stand on an incline no matter how steep it is. That's not ''physically'' possible for a person to do." |
| 276 | ** One of their insults after failing: |
| 277 | --->"You clown... You clown shoes fuck!" |
| 278 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxNqXwGBjMs Zen Fish Sim]] video opens with this perfect example of BrutalHonesty. |
| 279 | -->'''Jim''': Now, you may be hearing the sentimental music, and the...frankly ''shit'' title screen[...] |
| 280 | ** There is also this line: |
| 281 | -->'''Jim''': Clownfish in the city of ''Twatlantis.'' |
| 282 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0osl8l-9gok Eve of Destruction Redux]], a game that actually advertises itself as having NoBudget and has all the glitches you'd expect. About half way through the video, a group of tanks get stuck on geometry and Jim completely loses it, but the real crowning moment of funny comes at 17:20 when a tank gets catapulted high into the air. |
| 283 | * Their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wb6ans4nIP8 playthrough]] of ''[[VideoGame/LegoBatman LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham]]''...well, what was supposed to be a playthrough, though there is one small problem: ''the game did not detect '''any''' controls whatsoever'', whether it be a controller or Jim's own keyboard. The result is literally just 8 minutes of Jim explaining the error, watching a cutscene, and then promptly trying to configure it, but to no prevail whatsoever. All with one message that engraved itself into Jim's mind on that day: |
| 284 | -->''(No Input)'' |
| 285 | * In their ''Jimpressions'' on ''The Quiet Man'', a game that ''Creator/SquareEnix'' published but [[InvisibleAdvertising scarcely advertised nearing release]], at the 20 minute mark, Jim's video [[{{Blooper}} ends up cutting out]], resulting in them unknowingly describing a fight that isn't on-screen (which they note in the comments, but says the viewers missed nothing). Given that one of their criticisms involved the obnoxiously ambiguous storytelling, it's almost thematically appropriate. |
| 286 | * Their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3fsZHN6Z9Q playthrough]] of ''ESC: From Planet'', which they dub as the absolute worst game to cost $35 - and it quickly shows that they do not exaggerate with that statement. They find themselves {{Corpsing}} multiple times from the sheer absurdity of the environment and the [[ObviousBeta jaw-dropping bugs the game has]]. It culminates rather quickly into Jim entering what can only be described as ''[[LaughingMad a state of complete hysteria]]'' from a entirely unanimated snake continuously lurching forward and ramming into wooden boxes repeatedly. They struggle to even form coherent sentences even when they've calmed down enough to consider continuing, they're ''that'' HelplessWithLaughter. |
| 287 | -->'''Jim''': Every time that snake bashed into the boxes...! I've guv-got tears into-I've got tears in my eyes! I can't even... finish sentences or say the right words in the sentences! |
| 288 | ** One thing they don't mention--likely because they were distracted by ''everything else'', the snake especially--that several commenters took note of is the story in the Steam page description, which is in such [[BlindIdiotTranslation mangled English]] that one could be forgiven for getting the impression that it's [[https://youtu.be/HmbQXeH97NE a lost Game King game]] rather than a PC game: |
| 289 | -->The unlucky traveler left literally for 5 minutes the ship on the planet of woolly beings, and has gone on a visit to the next system. Having returned through couple of tens of thousands years, haven't found the ship on the place - woolly beings during this time have strongly grown bald and have slightly grown wiser.\ |
| 290 | (it is necessary to tell that the ship has been intended for intergalactic flights and the engine radiated any bad waves - the mutations which have caused in natives).\ |
| 291 | The grown wiser natives have dragged and have hidden a find, and also by means of scrap and something else tried to crack the ship - but the security system has worked, and in a radius of 50 miles all live has undergone regress - the return evolution. |
| 292 | * Their playthrough of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycIEgxPvrOQ Horny Fighter]] begins tremendously, with Jim talking about the developer Tero Lunkka, their continued run-ins with their games and their emails sent toward Jim themselves. As they select the first level, they seem to expect nothing much as they continue...and then, they see [[HumanoidAbomination the player character model]], which holds the prestigious honor of being ''the absolute fastest'' to [[{{Corpsing}} break Jim down into laughter]]. |
| 293 | * [[https://youtu.be/7qB7jGXB8cI Their playthrough]] of ''Soldiers of the Universe'' has this comment from Jim themselves: |
| 294 | -->[[SelfDeprecation That feeling when you accidentally]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext upload international propaganda]]. |
| 295 | * The most important take-home lesson from the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' remake demo? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH2BhgGNonA How very, very horny Jessie is for Cloud.]] |
| 296 | * The intro to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQfx-B27gEQ Mafia II: Definitive Edition]] features a conversation between the two main characters, which continues as normal even after a car just decides to randomly spawn in the middle of the living room. |
| 297 | * Their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6lHyFhyRFM video]] on the Nintendo Switch game ''Popeye''. |
| 298 | ** The way they introduce the game. |
| 299 | --->"''Popeye: The Video Game'', or to give it its full title... ''Popeye''." |
| 300 | ** The part where they imitate the game's "music", which is just a 20-second loop that drives them insane. |
| 301 | [[/folder]] |
| 302 | |
| 303 | [[folder:Best of Steam Greenlight]] |
| 304 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK_BppTQvAQ&lc=z12hgt4jjurtxnkiy04ceryhtzv2tfxqyq00k Skate Man Intense Rescue]]. Jim's reaction to it must be seen to be believed. It also broke [[Creator/TheCynicalBrit Total Biscuit]] in the comments. |
| 305 | ** In the following ''Jimquisition'' centered around the game, their reaction to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dHGVF2syAQ the completely nonsensical rant]] Skate Man's developer, Digpex Games had. To elaborate, immediately after they're done reading, the video cuts to them and their podium, and they are ''utterly silent for a full 10 seconds,'' just trying to decipher what the hell they just read out loud. |
| 306 | * Jim reads the description page for Digital Homicide's latest game, "AZZHOLES." |
| 307 | -->'''Jim:''' "'use your size to your advantage and devour smaller a%@holes [[note]]Jim pronounces this as "ablblholes"[[/note]] to get even bigger' - that sounds a lot like me." |
| 308 | ** At the beginning of the video, Jim doesn't miss a beat in snarking it up. |
| 309 | -->*introductory jingle, followed by a fart* "Excellent." |
| 310 | * Jim's watching the Steam Greenlight trailer for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZyrpPtR4-s "Rock Paper Scissors Champion"]], in particular the 'theme song'. |
| 311 | -->'''Jim:''' So yeah, it goes on like this. It's... not really in tune, is it? |
| 312 | * Where to even begin with ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMkTBXmIsU4 Age of Barbarian]]''? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELrxxM92kvo The Steam Greenlight trailer]], which among other things misspells "Barbarian" as "Barbarin" ''twice'', and was described by Jim as [[SoBadItsGood the best worst thing they'd ever seen]]? The hilariously terrible dialogue? The fact everyone is scantily clad for no discernible reason other than {{fanservice}}, sometimes to the point where the game needed to be censored to be acceptable on Steam? The breast blurring that [[ObviousBeta sometimes fails to disappear when it's served its purpose, resulting in severe framerate problems]]? The fact that at one point, ''[[EpicFail the developer forgot to blur a female character's breasts]] '''[[EpicFail while a correctly censored close-up of her was in the foreground]]'''''? Or how about [[http://puu.sh/pgGzU/a045a88325.jpg this ridiculous facial expression]]? |
| 313 | ** Said facial expression has since gone on to feature in [[RunningGag a number of their videos]], usually when they're [[WhatWereYouThinking remarking on some idiotic idea]] [[BlatantLies or absurd lie]] displayed in a game or shown by someone in the industry. It's basically their go-to image reaction for game industry incompetence. |
| 314 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JayANMkhf9c Call Me Skyfish]] has a trailer that... to say the least, is not exactly professional. |
| 315 | -->[[AC:Hello I am Skyfish. And this is my game. Call Me Skyfish. You can...swing around. And...shoot bubbles. To destroy your enemies. And...YOU CAN...]] |
| 316 | --> ''('''three seconds''' of silence)'' |
| 317 | -->[[AC:SAVE THE WOOORRRLD. And it's...it's really awesome. It has tons of levels. And. It is only a dollar. I mean...WHAT IS WITH THAT...IT'S ONLY A DOLLAR. IT'S...]] |
| 318 | -->''(ten seconds of screaming gibberish)'' |
| 319 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKKvd_56B_0 The Dead Town of Walking Zombies]] revels in MundaneMadeAwesome, the trailer advertising basic physics as a feature in the game. What's notable in this video is that Jim [[{{Corpsing}} ends up laughing their ass off]] from the mere title of the game, the poorly-done trailer, ''and'' the particularly shameless description that [[AtLeastIAdmitIt gleefully admits to "wanting to rob [the customer]"]] of the game's price of $3. |
| 320 | [[/folder]] |
| 321 | |
| 322 | [[folder:Other]] |
| 323 | * Their [=YouTube=] account is similarly full of parody. Sometimes they do satires of play guides. Their "play guide" for Telltale's ''Wolf Among Us'' (an adventure title that is hard to screw up) consists mostly of Jim playing an entirely different game on their handheld with annoying whooshes and dings while the video screen just lingers on a shot of the main menu for ''Wolf Among Us.'' |
| 324 | * Their video testing out the HD version of ''VideoGame/{{Fable}}'' is titled "The Eyeless Cenobites of Albion," because of the guards who have perpetually squinted-shut eyes. |
| 325 | * Their review of Bloodborne: "As strong as you get, you never know when you'll push open some doors to reveal a boss who's ready to make you shit your pants, and then make you eat the shit, because it's a Pants-Eating Shiteater Demon that wants you to eat shit while you're shitting shit into your own pants." |
| 326 | * A meta example, but the publicists for ''The Witcher 3'' [[https://twitter.com/JimSterling/status/599330599820734465 sent Jim a package]], as gaming publicists tend to do. Jim opened it up, to find that they'd been sent a copy of [[spoiler: Farming Simulator 2015]] . |
| 327 | ** One of the first responses to the Tweet? For them to review it as if it were ''The Witcher 3'' |
| 328 | ** Another response was: "Who needs to play as Geralt of Rivia when you have John of Deere?" |
| 329 | * Jim's "interview" with Digital Homicide, recorded as a special podcast, is something that must be heard to be believed. Unfortunately, most of the humor is of an [[SoBadItsGood unintentional variety,]] with Digital Homicide acting as the unwitting straight man in a comedy of errors. |
| 330 | ** Gets funnier in the next Jimquisition episode they posted after this, "Aliens: Colonial Marines - Game over, Randy!". In this interview, among other things, Robert (of Digital Homicide) insults Jim's immaturity, claiming that waiving around a three-foot dildo bat is [[InsaneTrollLogic offensive to women]]. In the next Jimquisition episode that went up after this interview, although Jim says nothing about the interview itself, they spend all of their talking-head bits waving around the Penetrator. |
| 331 | ** Special mention goes to Robert claiming that Jim is commanding their fans to go around and attack people they don't like. His proof? A clear MadScientist parody skit, where Jim is injecting carrots with a syringe and saying they are in the process of creating an obedient breed of creatures. Jim can't help but burst out into laughter after hearing this. |
| 332 | * This psychotic rambling stream of consciousness from Rory Fingers during the Top Ten Best Games EVER Of 2016 EVER (The Videogame Show What I've Done). |
| 333 | --> '''Rory Fingers''': I'm not allowed near offices, cause of what happened between me and that coffee maker that time. I didn't do it on purpose, the coffee maker asked for me to do some things, so I performed the tasks the coffee maker set forth before me ''*pause*'' with my pants down, and some people got upset and some lawsuits were talked about, but that was all cleared up and now I'm not allowed near buildings ''*pause*'' of any description, except my own, which I'm also not allowed to leave. Has Christmas happened? ''*away from microphone* Has Christm- Hey! Has Christmas happened? *back to mic* I'd be nice if the person I was talking to was real, like a friend. Like one of those. But they're not. |
| 334 | * They review ''[[VideoGame/{{Knack}} Knack 2]]'' and notes that, thanks to [[LetsPlay/VideoGameDunkey videogamedunkey]], they can expect their comments to be a flood of Dunkey-related replies. They were not disappointed. |
| 335 | -->'''Jim ([=YouTube comment=])''':\ |
| 336 | Me: This comment thread is gonna be full of angry people or people yelling Dunkey-related things.\ |
| 337 | \ |
| 338 | Comments: KNACK 2 BAY-BEEEEEEEE! |
| 339 | * During the Commentocracy video on ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'' elitists, Amiel slams two teacups together hard enough that one shatters. After a few seconds, he smacks them together a second time, destroying what little is left of that one. |
| 340 | * In the Commentocracy episode about [[HeManWomanHater "involuntary celibates" ("incels")]] blaming women for ruining games), Amiel comes across a particularly egregious typo of "protagonists", written as "portsgnidts". |
| 341 | -->'''Amiel''': "that's why they are so cinematic and so many female[...]" ''(stumbles on the typo, tries and fails to sound it out)'' Royston! Royston, did I say that? When you take diction, I expect you to take diction well! ''(tries to sound out the typo some more, still fails)'' Royston, this is BOLLOCKS! |
| 342 | * In the first season finale of Commentocracy, Amiel took a moment to make a mockery of [[DearNegativeReader PC gaming elitists who took umbrage with the Duke mocking them]]. |
| 343 | -->"I like Jim's insight videos, but these fucking custome personas are insufferable. Who the fuck thinks this is funny. Probably his rabid fans."\ |
| 344 | '''Amiel''': ...Royston! Royston, who is this ''Jim'' fellow, m'lad? And why does his fans have rabies?! We can't have rabies in the town! Not while I'm still suffering from the consumption... |
| 345 | * Jim made a [[https://youtu.be/nOmbzUE6UAY montage]] of the insanity that was VideoGame/DynastyWarriors 3's cutscenes. Bonus points for looping [[MasterOfAll Lu Bu]]'s reaction to the then basically useless Diao Chan wanting to help him. |
| 346 | * A {{Troll}} released a fake screenshot of an apparent Metacritic quote of a review wherein Jim gave ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' a [[FourPointScale scathing 7/10 score]]. A cursory glance at this supposed screencap should clue one in that it's fake, since Jim had not even made a review of the game at the time of its release (and likely never will, [[http://www.thejimquisition.com/changing-criticism-or-fuck-game-reviews/ since they announced their decision to stop writing traditional reviews with numbered scores shortly before this controversy hit]]), [[EpicFail and the fake quote spelled "Nintendo" wrong]]. Jim, to their credit, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5EzAh7ZkZI took it, and the controversy that cropped up in its wake, in stride]]. |
| 347 | ** It got better with their ACTUAL Jimpressions on the game. After around fifteen minutes of giving the game glowing praise, the Scarecrow from their old review format scrolls by... carrying a 7. |
| 348 | * Serving as BookEnds for the video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZvSPjQe9Hk Fuck Skyrim]]" is Jim at Pro Wrestling EGO going full heel while promoting Sterdust. |
| 349 | --->'''Jim''': [...] ''STERDUST!''\ |
| 350 | '''Audience member''': Shut up!\ |
| 351 | '''Jim''': [[NoYou No, YOU shut up!]] |
| 352 | * From episode 184 of the Podquisition, Jim -- in utter delight -- explaining that they entirely believe that ''VideoGame/PokemonQuest'' could be a "free-to-wait" game ''without'' any microtransactions, because that would be an [[ViolationOfCommonSense incredibly Nintendo thing to do]]. |
| 353 | * Duke Amiel is in fine form during "Shenmue Is A Masterpiece And You're An Insult To Gamers!", including ''hissing like a vampire'' at one point. |
| 354 | * Another recurring funny moment from Duke Amiel is that the comments he reads are often full of grammar and/or spelling mistakes, which the Duke will go ahead and read without correcting. |
| 355 | ** One example has a comment that misspells "normies" as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normans "Normans"]], complete with a picture of the Normans flashing on the screen. |
| 356 | ** The one exception to this was a comment that had a truly epic mangling of the word "protagonist", which the Duke is unable to read through, and stops to complain about it. |
| 357 | * Over in Direct to Video, Jim has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_7hacUcDMM harrowing experience]] with ''Candice [=DeBébé's=] Scandalous Secrets'', a game that at one point forces them to ask whether the definition of "joke" in England has changed since they moved to the States. (Then one of the NPC's turns into a giant head and non-explains that it's because she's now old and has turned into a grandma, which Jim admits is ActuallyPrettyFunny even if they have no idea why.) |
| 358 | * Their reaction to [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] making an AffectionateParody of them for an April Fool's Day joke? |
| 359 | -->'''Jim''': Not fat enough. 7/10 |
