Context Funny / TheStupendium

Go To

1* The shameless puns that the student in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBecc_lhiIg The Aftermath]] makes while talking about how much energy they have to put into running from [[VideoGame/BaldisBasicsInEducationAndLearning Baldi]].
2-->''Running your sums takes calories actually!''
3-->''Now I see what they mean by a mathelete!''
4** Also the student is the same one from "Why Did I Say Okie Doki". The fact that he's found himself in a school-based horror game disguised as a different genre twice would be funny enough, but he somehow went from high school to elementary school.
5* The way the fate of the parents of the protagonist of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYD89JhBZWE A Very Scary Christmas]] is a [[ComedicSociopathy complete afterthought]].
6-->''Oh, and my folks are okay''
7-->''I guess I should mention.''
8-->''They just spent the day''
9-->''in a pocket dimension.''
10-->''Running for their lives''
11-->''from the demons that chased them.''
12-->''Now they constantly scream''
13-->''but they bought me a Playstation!''
14* Most people would just make a simple advertisement when announcing [[TheMerch their new merchandise.]] Not the Stupendium, who makes a ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIOUtZpyWNk full length song]]'' about their merch. Featuring such things as holding Music/DanBull at gunpoint to make him praise said merch. Not to mention:
15-->''Would you like to buy my merchandise?''\
16''It's rather nice''\
17''And every second it's not selling,'' ''[[DramaticGunCock A PERSON DIES!!!]]''
18** And here's Dan Bull's comment under said song:
19-->"I wholeheartedly endorse this product and/or products."
20* This line from ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oyztTPvu64 Pictures of Spider-Man]]'', delivered in the most over the top [[LargeHam hammy]] way possible.
21-->''This hack is the last thing that we need\
22Now sentient sand and [[[[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Fritz_von_Meyer_(Earth-616) NAZI BEES?!?!]]''
23* How many other YouTubers could include references like [[Creator/UbIwerks "And Iwerks hard for it!"]] or [[Creator/DisneysNineOldMen "Frankenstein meets Frank & Ollie"]] so casually in their videos as is done over and over again in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQJz1aNBkv0 ''Find the Keys'']]?
24* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGDDc6Q_cYE ''Back Together'']] when Mr. Hippo's character is used for a "rambling show biz retiree from Brooklyn" bit. It's so unlike the rest of the video and pitch-perfect.
25* The end to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1IE9zLKBrw&list=PLk7MczmLgsFxnot1zjchWIANvYhEoxTxk&index=89 ''The Most Fashionable Faction'']] sees Stupendium saying it's ridiculous VideoGame/TeamFortress2 features so many hats, believing no one owns that many. Then the camera reveals [[HypocriticalHumor their room (labelled Costume Dept. 4) is FILLED NEARLY TO THE BRIM with hats.]] [[note]]Then again, this can also be interpreted as Stupendium being jealous of the game's hat collection.[[/note]]
26** Also amusing is Scout [[VisualPun holding up two jumpers at “My beats bring the heat, cos I’m a sweet double jumper”]]
27* This bit from "Nook, Line, and Sinker" regarding [[TheAlcoholic Isabelle.]]
28-->''Overworked, underpayed, that poor little Shih Tzu.''
29-->''Managing a bunch of animals, I guess it really is a-''''[[CurseCutShort I guess you see the pun there!]]''
30* The introduction to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv5N5TlfDTs Rogue's Gallery]]:
31-->"I may not look it, but I went to an art school, y’know. And I stole like, eight crates of acrylic before I tripped the alarm..."
32** The after-song commentary for the same song...
33-->"In the meantime, I got to be goin'? 'cause I got like two dozen genuine Mona Lisas comin' in at three, and my [[{{Creator/SalvadorDali}} clocks keep melting]], so I've got ''no'' idea what time it is..."
34** At one point, Blathers studies one of the artworks the POV character bought from Redd, and reveals that, after careful consideration, he's determined that it's a forgery. He then shows it to the camera revealing that it's ''Mona Lisa'' drawn in crayons.
35* In "Vending Machine of Love", Stupendium ends the video by apologizing to their viewers for making them watch it, and apologizing even more to their patreons for having their name irrevocably tied to it.
36-->"If you enjoyed this song, [[SelfDeprecatingHumor please seek serious help.]]"
37** The entire song is essentially over 4 minutes of [[DoubleEntendre uninterrupted innuendo]], sprinkled with more "can" puns than you can shake a stick at.
38* Among the many evil deeds the villain commits in "Fiend Like Me" is [[GreenEyedMonster plastering their name]] over Music/DanBull's 1 million subscriber play button.
39** Not to mention cheating in a villain magazine’s moustache twirling competition:
40--> “I’m the meanest genius scheme unfurler\
41Genus steeped in burglars, murderers\
42''Fiend Weekly''’s champ moustache-twirler\
43(''sotto voce'') [[EvilIsPetty I cheated, I used curlers]]
44** One of their BlackComedy spoken bits in the same song:
45--> "You know, I've just realized that this dotted line around the globe is supposed to be the Equator... I always thought of it more as a 'cut here.'"
46* At one point in "Ad Infinitum", [[VideoGame/DeltaRune Spamton G. Spamton]] goes MotorMouth as he offers differents products, jumping from one different thing to another, going by similar sounding words.
47--> ''Wanna buy a cat plush? Plush toy?? Toy box??? Box wine???? [[MoodWhiplash Why won't Mike just call me]] Backgammon? Ham and Eggs?? Egg chair??? Chair bed???? Bed bath? Bath sponge?? [[SuddenlyShouting SPONGE WHO HATES ITS [$4.99] ]] Life boat? Boat Shoe?? Shoestring??? String Bean???? Bean bag? Bagpipes?? Pipe Bomb??? Bomber Jacket???? Jackdaw? Doorstop?? [[MoodWhiplash STOP! No, please! Don't take my furniture!!!]] Stopwatch? Watchdog?? Dog collar??? Colorado???? Adderall? Ads are all sleeping. Ping Pong?? Ponchos??? Choke chains? Chainsaws?? Swordfish-Shish Kebab-Bobcat??? [Do you want a cat or not?!?!]''
48** For that matter, the afterword of "Ad Infinitum" deserves its own special mention:
49---> "Hey, hey, hey! Thanks for tuning in, pal! And thank you to all my [Generous Benefactors], for their support! They're all [BIG SHOTS]!! Nyahahahahah! If you enjoyed the [Tonight's Featured Presentation], you should check my playlist for my [SHINY, LAMINATED CATALOGUE] of songs! Check out the merch store for [SPECIAL DEALS] items, or give me that sweet, sweet [mortgage payment] Kromer on Patreon! Leave a [Customer Feedback] comment and [Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring] that bell! And don't forget to [LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE] for more [HYPERLINK BLOCKED]!"
50** Music/DanBull left the following comment under the video:
51--->''I am autistic, and in future, when I need to explain to people what sensory overload feels like, I will show them this video.''
52* All the way that "Don't Let The Bellhops Bite" plays on more typical hotel lingo and mixing it with a lot of BlackComedy:
53** The PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel intro to the video [[EstablishingSeriesMoment opens like this]]:
54--->'''Bellhop''': Guests are reminded that, should they enjoy their stay, a complementary subscribe button is provided below the video. Now '''{{run|ordie}}'''.
55** The song opens with Stupes recommending the hotel like they would a real one, suggesting that you can vacation there and "take in just a little damnation as well"
56** The staff will take your luggage. Physical luggage, the emotional baggage you have to take yourself.
57** The pool has been closed because the lifeguard is dead and decomposing.
58** A very deadpan chef explains that breakfast is served until 10, but most guests are dead before that.
59** The bar offers a lot of spirits. Mostly dead guests.
60** Room service is rather pricy, costing "an arm and a leg and a torso, a stomach, a neck, and a head". So in other words, everything ''except'' an arm and a leg.
61** A tripadvisor review from a satisfied customer:
62---> But if you try to check the Tripadvisor\
63You'll likely trip and die, sir\
64[[DissonantSerenity Five stars! Never a survivor!]]
65* During the chorus of "What A Plunderful Life", the [=FacSit=] spokesman uses [[ShockAndAwe the Xeno Zapper]] as a makeshift microphone. During the third one, he ends up turning it on… which naturally zaps him, leaving him to cough up smoke for the rest of the chorus.
66* Following a popular gag players indulge in, "Toy Box" has Huggy Wuggy [[BitchSlap getting high-fived in the face by the Grab Pack.]] What is Huggy's response to this? Roll his eyes and give a look that just says "Really? How old are you?"
67* At the end of the remastered "[[VideoGame/{{Frostpunk}} Shelter from the Storm]]" video, Stupendium takes the fire and zeal of a fundamentalist preacher/government propagandist exhorting the working masses to labor on a machine that is their only means of survival, and [[SeriousBusiness applies it]] to the [[PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel like and subscribe spiel]] at the end of the video.
68-->''Thank you all for watching! Our Captain sends his gratitude to the Patrons of our fair city, for it should surely fall if were not for your dedication to our Great Cause! And who of you shall do your part? Shall like, comment, subscribe? Shall ring the bell? For our generator is not of steel and iron, but of algorithms! Its coal, the engagement of your combined hand! So stoke the flames of the recommended playlist, pump the bellows of the Patreon and the merch store! And by our shared vigor, keep the warm glow of Content in our hearths! Now go! The Stupendium Binge begins! ([[{{Beat}} clears throat]])'' [[MoodWhiplash Thanks.]]
69* While "No One's Home" is pretty ominous and unsettling throughout, [[BadLiar the sheer lack of skill in lying]] from the Landlord about their role as a Ministry spy, laden with SuspiciouslySpecificDenial and ImmediateSelfContradiction, can provide some BlackComedy.
70* "Unlikely Cyphers: The Muppets" is occassionally interrupted by JustForFun/StatlerAndWaldorf doing [[TheHeckler what they do best]].
71** True to form, Miss Piggy's verse ends with her complaining about how little screen time she had.
72** Sam Eagle gets hung up on the national diversity of the Muppets cast and laments that that they should've invited some American rappers instead. Like, Music/IggyAzalea or maybe Music/{{Drake}} (who aren't actually American).
73* Their VisualNovel/MaskOfTheRose video, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g7qwB1RpPc "Neath!"]] is full of funny moments, but the stand-out is [[PunnyName Byron Brimstone]]'s verse, where in very rapid succession, he explains that a comment about his name being incendiary was meant "[[VerbalBackspace metaphorically of course]]!" (as the viewer sees [[AwesomenessIsVolatile Correspondance sigils]] in the background), [[ImplausibleDeniability insists]] to the viewer he is a "[[HughMann real and human man-thing]]" and on the very next line, tries to pitch to them the [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow underlying nature of London]].
74* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZTTnAG0sSk "The End of the Line"]] describes VideoGame/ChooChooCharles as "Sixteen tons of scurrying death, smouldering souls through funnel of red, with a pick-like grin on the front of his head, sat atop a most illogical number of legs," all sung in a rather upbeat note.
75** Stupes describes the danger Charles poses by joking that "there'll be chaos on the rails when the railway strikes." Similarly, Dan Bull closes the first verse by punning that Charles will have you "learn another way of saying 'Run away! Train!'"
76** Gregory opens the second verse by saying that "this train's not just cancelled; it's damn well deplatformed!"
77** While describing Charles' flesh-eating habits, they call him a "Dining car." They also say he'll be "chugga-chugging on blood as he chew-chews you!"
78** In the intro, Stupendium and Dan Bull discuss how the train is late, and Stupendium says that if the train doesn't come in five minute they'll go mad. Cut to five minutes later with Stupendium and Dan Bull singing about the monstrous spider-train in a bloodied locomotive.
79** The cultists describe their plan to feed innocents to Charles as a "Loco motive."
80* "No Waves Like Home" is a touching ballad for the most part, but still has a funny moment in the form of an unexpected reference to ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
81-->''I never thought much of seafood before / But tonight we're having [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E2122ShortFilmsAboutSpringfield steamed clams under the Aurora]]"''
82* “The Production Line” features a short list of the junk Stupendium and Dan Bull are meant to be collecting:
83--> Lamp\
84Cookie mold\
85Jar\
86Fish\
87Stop sign\
88Pan\
89[[JustForPun Whoopie\

92-->Mine!\
93No, ''mine!''\
94''[[LandMineGoesClick No, Mine!]]''\
