| 5 | Dorkly is a former sister site of Creator/{{Dropout}} (formerly [=CollegeHumor=]) which hosts a series of sprite animations poking fun at clichés and FridgeLogic in classic video games, with emphasis on dark humor and occasional line-crossing. |

| 9 | On January 8th, 2020, [[https://twitter.com/samreich/status/1214985379343822849 IAC, [=CollegeHumor=]'s parent company, pulled their funding. This resulted in the layoff of a majority of the [=CollegeHumor=] staff]], including the entirety of the Dorkly crew. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDfM9tiOtlM The future of Dorkly was uncertain for a time]], but they were eventually picked up by Creator/LowbrowStudios and able to resume content creation. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | On May 18th, 2023, it was revealed that Lowbrow Studios had officially acquired Dorkly and allowed them to start posting weekly videos on Website/YouTube again and became independent from [=CollegeHumor=]. |

| 24 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 25 | |
| 26 | [[folder: A-K]] |
| 27 | * AccidentalSuicide: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJcXGkY9X_c Even More Pokemon Disappointed In Their Evolutions]], Shuckle tries to evolve by drinking a potion made of every evolution stone, which kills him. He's happy because he thinks he's evolved into a Ghost-type. |
| 28 | * ActorAllusion: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7KTn47msJU If Pokémon Met Their Alola Forms (Part 2)]] has the actors for Tails and Sonic voice Vulpix (a multi-tailed fox) and Alolan Sandslash (a spiky blue hedgehog) respectively. |
| 29 | -->'''Alolan Sandslash''': I'm gonna go hang out with this multi-tailed fox, [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgeHog2006 maybe kiss a human]]. [[LampshadeHanging Just feels right.] |
| 30 | * AdaptationalJerkass: Done quite frequently to many of the video game characters, with Mario and Link receiving this treatment the most often. |
| 31 | * AdaptationalKarma: In ''VideoGame/SkiFree'', the yeti is impossible to defeat and the only way to avoid getting eaten by it is to outmaneuver it on the course. In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji6IFDJFr8k Ski Free Yeti Gets Desperate]], the yeti gets increasingly obsessive over chasing the skier and resorts to taking a ramp to try to catch him, which backfires and leaves it horribly injured at the bottom of the slope. |
| 32 | * AdaptationalSexuality: In some shorts, Luigi is either a gay furry or a SlashFic writer who's a fan of male pregnancy. |
| 33 | * AddedAlliterativeAppeal: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsfSdXoV9sE 5 Incredible Mario Odyssey Ideas That Were Cut From the Game]]'', the Broodals are described as a "fearsome foursome of familial festivities". |
| 34 | %%* AffablyEvil: The ghost in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ_zveEj6aU Boos Meet a Real Ghost]]''. |
| 35 | * TheAfterafterlife: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_pxZ8bWUcQ This]] ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' video showcases a ghost getting ghost-killed and becomes a double-ghost. |
| 36 | * AndIMustScream: Three examples appear so far. |
| 37 | ** Mario playing the Warp Whistle off-key in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxa_k6rRMIM Mario Can't Play the Warp Whistle]]'' sends him to a world where [[FireAndBrimstoneHell everything is on fire and no-one can ever die]]. Trying to leave only makes it worse, as the tornado that comes is made of fire, and the second time he creates a monsoon which doesn't put the fire out, because the rain is ''freaking gasoline''. |
| 38 | --> '''Mario''': Ohh, mother-[[VerbalTic a]]-fu-- ''[[CurseCutShort (the entire world becomes engulfed in flames)]]'' |
| 39 | ** Sonic strikes Robotnik in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smE5F4PrHBw If Videogames Were 35% More Realistic]]'' only for the egg carrier to burst into flames with Eggman inside. As Eggman is screaming in agony, Sonic watches in horror. |
| 40 | ** The most recent one features one of Bowser's minions, a Bullet Bill who, after getting shot out of a Bill Blaster and missing Mario, finds himself stuck on an endless path unable to hit anything or get someone to respond to his cries for help, theorizing that the reason being is that he's stuck in a different plane of existence. He eventually somehow cycles back through to a new game and [[HopeSpot is excited to finally hit Mario, but then Mario stomps on him]] and now he's fated to [[DeathThrows endlessly fall downwards]]. Titled ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6FXBONjN8w Why Bullet Bill's Life Is a Living Hell]]'' or ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUe9rI2Mf5c The Tragic Life of Bullet Bill]]'' depending on the channel. |
| 41 | --> '''Bullet Bill''': "This is my hell. Forever cursed on a journey alone through nothingness. Swallowed by the inky blackness of the abyss." |
| 42 | * AndThenJohnWasAZombie: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcsD6tb9NWE Plants vs Zombies Wall-nut Gets Bitten]]'', the Wall-nut who's bitten by a zombie turns into one himself, so then the other plants kill him. |
| 43 | * AndThenWhat: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR_Cebd4lSo Robotnik Finally Wins]]'', when Dr. Robotnik [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin wins and transforms every animal on the planet into a robot]], he comes to this predicament realizing that he's been distracted by Sonic for so long he forgot ''why'' he wanted to do so in the first place. [[spoiler:He eventually remembers at the end of the video: It was to start an orchestra.]] |
| 44 | * {{Angrish}}: It is ''very'' common for someone (usually a villain) to lapse into this when exposed to a bout of their game's FridgeLogic (or stupidity on the part of the hero.) |
| 45 | * AnnoyingVideoGameHelper: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQd_PeOf2R0 In-universe]]; Link gets so fed up with [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Fi]]'s {{Captain Obvious}}ing that he trades his sword for Deku Seeds to be rid of her. |
| 46 | * AntiHero: The main protagonists from SEGA and Nintendo are this to some degree in some videos, veering on the GoodIsNotNice segment. For example, in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5wavxZEkZo Sonic vs. The Pokémon World]]'', Sonic uses his freedom fighter speech to liberate all Pokémon, which is admirable, but [[spoiler:it leads to chaos among trainers and other people]]. |
| 47 | * AntiVillain: Sim City Monster in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYt_-tC0GOw Sim City Monster Hates Your City]]''. At worst, he acts like a PunchClockVillain; and he even [[spoiler:becomes the new Mayor, due to EvenEvilHasStandards against the player's dangerous decisionmaking]]. |
| 48 | * ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: More like "Aren't You Going To Kill Me, Too?!" but same principle. [[spoiler:At the end of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h7EQa86uks Sonic Goes Berserk]]'', a power-mad Super Sonic has come across and is carrying Tails' tails, Knuckles' fists, Amy's hammer, Robotnik's mustache, Vector's headphones, Big's belt, and Rouge's boots. Shadow muses that Sonic is going to take something from him in an edgy voice and then mentions that it won't be that easy. Sonic just floats away while Shadow protests and begs him to get back here and kill him.]] [[spoiler:You could say Sonic took his [[TotallyRadical coolness]].]] |
| 49 | * ArmorIsUseless: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLvnAW886is Ghosts 'n Goblins Blacksmith]]'' has Sir Arthur complaining to a blacksmith regarding the armor he made for him, which immediately fell apart after being touched by a zombie. |
| 50 | * ArtEvolution: Later Dorkly videos add newer frames of animation to the character sprites as well as the animation overall becoming more fluid. Impressive considering the limitations of animating 8-bit and 16-bit game sprites. |
| 51 | * AuthorAppeal: Zig-zagged. [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Shuckle]] makes a disproportionately large number of appearances relative to its middling popularity, mostly because it's the favorite Pokémon of Dorkly editor-in-chief Andrew Bridgman. However, in said appearances he invariably ends up [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} making nonsensical decisions]] [[TooDumbToLive that lead to grievous injury or outright death]]. See ButtMonkey below for more details. |
| 52 | * AxCrazy: ''Mario Vs. Videogame/PizzaTower'' has Mario attempting to train Peppino Spaghetti as a sidekick only to find that aside from being incapable of normal communication Peppino is prone to far greater violence than necessary. He deals with a basic Koopa by beating it into a bloody smear and when Bowser tries to take it easy on him Peppino instead eviscerates him with a shotgun. |
| 53 | * BaitAndSwitch: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsG6yxDvPs8 Why Pokemon SHOULDN'T Be Disappointed By Their Evolutions]]'', Arceus grants Shuckle's wish, which is to come back as a Pokémon with lots of evolutions. At first the viewer thinks he'll be turned into an Eevee, but he actually becomes [[spoiler:a Ditto, because while it can't evolve into anything, it can turn into any Pokémon. He uses his new power to turn into a Shuckle.]] |
| 54 | * BehindTheBlack: "If Videogame Characters Could Break All the Rules" features Mario in the original ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' forcing himself to go back left (as opposed to the original game's one-way scroll) and finding the villains and people he's supposedly there to save all dancing at a rave. |
| 55 | * BerserkButton: |
| 56 | ** Arceus ''really'' hates [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rr7VuKuS96E getting sand in his eyes]]. |
| 57 | ** '''NEVER''' tell Mario that something is "[[YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle In another castle]]" if you want to live. |
| 58 | * BigBad: How Link is presented in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8E7Um_GidA If The Legend Of Zelda Were Actually About Zelda]]. |
| 59 | --> [[spoiler: '''Zelda''': So, who's the crazy evil person trying to destroy Hyrule?]] |
| 60 | --> [[spoiler: '''Ganon''': Oh, gee, let's see, do we know any mute psychopaths who spend most of their time [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals torturing chickens]] and [[OrganTheft collecting organs?]] Oh wait! Yes we do!]] |
| 61 | * BillBillJunkBill: The janitor in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdnbzUKwtBU this]] ''VideoGame/RollercoasterTycoon'' video while cleaning up an amusement park: |
| 62 | --> '''Janitor:''' (whistles) Vomit... vomit... vomit... (whistles) [[spoiler:Wreckage... corpses]]... vomit... vomit... |
| 63 | %%* BlackComedy: The series mainly focuses on this type of humor. |
| 64 | %%* BodyHorror: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWEwLDvrNwM Inbred Yoshi]]''. |
| 65 | * BondageIsBad: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMX6N_Rxar8 Castlevania S&M]]'', Dracula is portrayed as a masochist (someone who receives sexual pleasure from pain). |
| 66 | * BoringButPractical: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMC9PcqHeNU Regular Giuseppe]] is this trope personified. He doesn't rescue princesses or go on adventures like his brothers Mario or Luigi. He keeps house, runs the plumbing business, and is the only one who visits their mother in the nursing home. |
| 67 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: |
| 68 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDfM9tiOtlM The End of Dorkly?]], part of the ''If Trainers Were Smart'' series has [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Red and Scyther]] informing the viewers that the Dorkly channel [[ScrewedByTheNetwork is about to come to an end due to it being no longer profitable from just the advertisement money]]. Scyther even brings up Patreon and extending the length of the videos to include other content but Red shoots them down, saying that it would be not geared towards a wide range of audience and too unprofitable respectively. |
| 69 | * BullyingADragon: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUt0au6uV_A Spy Hunter Prankster]] has the drivers of the upgrade truck repeatedly deny entry to the driver of the CoolCar of the game, for no particular reason other than because they think it is funny to mess with him, then rhetorically ask him what he is going to do about it. They get a reminder that the main character is driving a car equipped with machine guns as he destroys the truck. |
| 70 | * ButtMonkey: |
| 71 | ** Mario is usually mocked, beaten up, or humiliated in almost every video. It'd be easier to list aversions. [[{{Jerkass}} He usually had it coming, though]]. |
| 72 | %%*** His brother Luigi doesn't really have it any better, either. |
| 73 | %%*** Yoshi too, he's often abused by Mario. |
| 74 | %%*** Bowser in the more recent videos. He seems to have usurped both Mario and Luigi of their ButtMonkey roles of their respective series, getting shafted and screwed over much more often. |
| 75 | ** Sonic suffers often, dying in several of his appearances. |
| 76 | ** Tails, often from being ditched to being bitch slapped. [[WhoWantsToLiveForever Being unable to die doesn't help... at all.]] |
| 77 | ** All of Bomberman's appearances end with him either dying or suffering severe injuries. The first Power-Up mix-up video has him suffering a mental breakdown and collapsing on the floor vomiting because of how wrong an invincibility power-up feels to him. |
| 78 | ** Shuckle in the ''Pokémon'' shorts, especially the "Pokémon Disappointed With Their Evolutions" series. While trying to discover his evolution (not knowing that his species ''can't'' evolve), he gets his organs harvested by a Dugtrio, gets bitten on his butt by Slowbro's Shellder, accidentally ''kills himself'' drinking a potion made of evolution stones, then gets dragged to hell and tortured by Satan. [[spoiler:Finally, Arceus gives him a reprieve by reincarnating him as a Pokémon that can become anything--a Ditto, then uses this ability to become any Pokémon to become.....a Shuckle.]] |
| 79 | * CallingTheOldManOut: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQBZGlkVzl0 Luke Won't Forgive Anakin]]'', Luke and Leia called out Anakin for the atrocities that he committed. |
| 80 | * CaptainObvious: Fi in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQd_PeOf2R0 Fi Annoys Link]]'' notifies Link on '''literally everything''' he does or whatever is going in the situation he's in. |
| 81 | * ContinuityNod: |
| 82 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OobCi09FP3w Pac-Man Plays Skyrim]]'' has Ms. Pac-Man, completely fed up with her husband ignoring his responsibilities due to a crippling addiction for ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', admit that she has slept with Blinky and should have married him instead. In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBWnP1vVyAA Pac-Man's Pac-Wedding]]'', released after but taking place before the first video, Blinky attempts to object the marriage, having a crush on Ms. Pac-Man, but Inky snaps him out of it by reminding him that he already blew his chance with her. |
| 83 | ** ''[[https://youtu.be/IdsaHO-nUG4 Robotnik's New Nickname]]'' has Robotnik giving himself the nickname of "The Big Dog", which the other characters don't agree with. In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL_73YS8BM8 The Best Part Of Sonic Games Is The Music]]'', Robotnik is labeled as "DJ Big Dog" when handling the turntables in Club SEGA. |
| 84 | * CripplingOverspecialization: After a lot of training, a Dry Bones [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mBl8qQ85Wk finally manages to get the boos to no longer freeze in fear when Mario faces them]]. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, Luigi still terrifies them]]. |
| 85 | * CripplingTheCompetition: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EWubLFVgRc "Who's Faster: Superman or The Flash?"]] has ComicBook/{{Superman}} and ComicBook/TheFlash getting ready for a foot race, until Supes shoots Flash in his leg, worried that his "faster than a speeding bullet" powers would get outpaced by Flash's light-speed. |
| 86 | * CutLexLuthorACheck: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yZTRmJ2N1g Why Stealing Pokémon Doesn't Make Any Sense]]'' has a pair of Team Rocket Grunts called out how stupid it is to steal Pokémon when there's an infinite amount of wild Pokémon they can capture without fuss. |
| 87 | * CurbStompBattle: Once a wild Butterfree sees that Giratina has become a HarmlessVillain due to his new trainer, he stops taking him seriously and uses Sleep Powder on him. |
| 88 | * CurseCutShort: Present at the end of "Bubble Trouble". |
| 89 | --> '''Tails:''' [after seeing Sonic swallow an air bubble meant for him] "You blue-haired mother fu--" [drowns] |
| 90 | * DarkParody: Most parodies are dark. Notable examples include Bowser shooting the guy who makes his guns to rant about the guns being big and slow, the [[VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies Wall-Nut]] turning into a zombie, and Princess Peach being kidnapped by realistic kidnappers. |
| 91 | * DeadArtistsAreBetter: Mocked in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_OXXTzOp8E Moonwalker Henchmen Love Michael Jackson]]'', where a pair of thugs start mourning the death of Music/MichaelJackson, even though they previously hated the guy and were the ones who killed him ''in the first place''. |
| 92 | * DeathByDeaging: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9hTb_qiNuE The Most Horrifying Finish Move In Mortal Kombat]]'' shows what happens if you mess up the Babality. |
| 93 | * DeconstructiveParody: Lampshades just about everything wrong and ridiculous in fiction, with video games parodied more often. |
| 94 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFxhj7_Sk_U This]] Among Us video has the imposter lampshade how poorly run the ship is. He exposes himself to force the crew to fix the ship properly because he doesn't want to be stuck in the void on a failing ship. |
| 95 | ** The point of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTLZyG0GJS8 Anime Things That Would Get You In Trouble In Real Life]]'' is to show what would happen in real life if you attempted tropes common in anime. One example is a bank robber shouting that he's going to arrest the bank, only to get arrested on the spot. |
| 96 | ** When the Warrior opens a portal from Hell to the middle of Tristram in ''How Diablo Destroyed Tristram'' so he can get some potions, skeletons immediately start pouring out and killing everyone while opening more portals with scrolls that the Warrior dropped. In his defense, his inventory was full. |
| 97 | ** It's also not a good idea to give your one-of-a-kind Master Ball, which your company spent years making, to an 11-year-old kid. He'll probably just use on the first Pokémon he sees. Which is exactly what Red does in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp4HyC7tgGA Red Wastes a Masterball]]''. |
| 98 | ** As noted above, Anakin is '''NOT''' EasilyForgiven by Luke or Leia for the atrocities he committed when he was Darth Vader. |
| 99 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTthcMOODvc If Pokémon Evolutions Were Realistic]]'' pretty much shows what [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Pokémon evolution would be like in real life]]. |
| 100 | ** In ''Film/ANewHope'', the architect of the Death Star [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agcRwGDKulw defends the size and design of the Death Star's exhaust port]], claiming that the enormous size of the Death Star, along with the fact that it managed to blow up an entire planet with a giant laser, means that there needs to a ''lot'' of ventilation. He also pointed out that the exhaust point's purpose is to expel gas, not suck it in, and the fact he was able to engineer this moon-sized battle station to need only a single exhaust port the size of a rodent should have earned him some respect. |
| 101 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJlym6zL9Yg If Videogame Weapons Actually Worked]]'' has [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]]'s sword instantly slicing off Ganon's right arm, [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] setting two koopas on fire with fireballs, [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]] jumping on top of Silver Sonic only for nothing to happen and then gets sliced in half when Silver Sonic runs right into Sonic like a saw, the [[VideoGame/{{Bomberman}} Bomberman]] getting seriously injured as a result of one of his bombs going off near him, and [[Franchise/MegaMan Mega Man]]'s leaf shield having absolutely no effect on Dr. Wily since Mega Man's weapon consists of... well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin plain old leaves]] (technically thin bits of metal which resemble leaves, but still just as effective against the heavily armored robots). |
| 102 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HJgtaAgQhc Why Mortal Kombat Rounds Don't Make Sense]]'' starts off with the typical "best two-out-of-three" fight between Kano and Jax. However, the match is unable to move on to the next round since Jax kills Kano. [[spoiler:He gets better after 18 months of physical therapy]]. |
| 103 | ** More or less the whole point of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbgRGMfjvdo If Videogames Were 10% More Realistic]]''. [[VideoGame/YoshisIsland Yoshi]] gets into trouble with the police when they [[MistakenForPedophile catch him with the unattended Baby Mario]], [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus]] gains the ability to morph into a ball but breaks all of her bones in the process, [[VideoGame/PunchOut Little Mac]] gets called out for wearing a pink sweatsuit before reminding the audience that it's [[DeliberateValuesDissonance New York City in the 1980s]], [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]] gets attacked by a blue bird who actually liked being inside the badnik armor because it made him super strong, and [[Franchise/StreetFighter Blanka]] is unable to book a flight due to being on the no-fly list. |
| 104 | *** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smE5F4PrHBw The]] [[https://youtu.be/FCLfNXGPC7w sequels]] [[https://youtu.be/y4dHjb_gyT0 also]] [[https://youtu.be/pgH10qoBLTM qualify]]. You have moments such as Sonic dying of lead poisoning because he was [[TooDumbToLive eating the gold painted lead rings he collected]], [[VideoGame/NBAJam A basketball player]] getting set aflame trying to pick up a burning ball, Mario getting his face melted off trying to jump over the angry sun, Link being too young to be capable of going on a giant adventure, a horde of wild Raticate completely mauling a kid, and Sub-Zero breaking his hand on a frozen Stryker. |
| 105 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrUkS_3zaVE Donkey Kong Doesn't Back Down]]'' has Donkey Kong [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin refusing to back down]], stating that, because he's a gorilla who's twice Mario's size, he doesn't have to take orders from anyone and promptly beats Mario to death. |
| 106 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AfakIlrb3g Less Tragic Superhero Origns]] has Bruce's parents survive their mugging, because as Thomas Wayne points out there's no way the richest family in the city is going to just walk down a place notoriously called 'crime alley' without a full security team guarding them. |
| 107 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGDMvEdK0tc As it turns out]] that rotisserie chicken you found in the trash is not safe to eat [[VideoGame/StreetsOfRage Max]]. Even if it had been fully cooked it had been sitting in the trash for who knows how long and was full of maggots. He starts vomiting soon after. |
| 108 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9apNdSezAs If Videogame Characters Could Break All the Rules]] features characters going around the game's traditional limitations... including ''Pokémon'' wrapping back around to riding a bicycle indoors not being a good idea. It also features a scene based on ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', which has the party members ditch the turn based combat system and rush toward the enemy all at once. |
| 109 | ** In the second part of the "If Videogames had an Impossible Mode" video series, the Ghosts in Pac-Man can go through walls, because ghosts aren't physical beings and can pass through solid objects without a problem. |
| 110 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: |
| 111 | ** In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8rFnefnKhA How Diablo Destroyed Tristram]]'', the Warrior is about to fight Diablo in Hell when he uses a portal scroll to go back to town for some potions. Let's just say [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome reality takes place]] in the worst way possible. |
| 112 | ** In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJQC0va2LX8 What Happens To Abandoned Kickstarter Games]]'', the developers of a fictional game called "Pixel Pete" are called out by the main character when it turns out they have no idea how to actually make a game, the need to pay taxes or the costs of budget and paying programmers. |
| 113 | * DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: More like "Did You Just Catch the Devil", but similar principle. In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnIpjrMLUGc Pokémon Are More Dangerous Than Guns]]'', a young trainer catches a Giratina, which Professor Oak refers to as the "Pokémon equivalent of Satan". Professor Eastwood (an [[CaptainErsatz ersatz]] of actor Creator/ClintEastwood) is the only one who finds something wrong with that. |
| 114 | -->'''Professor Eastwood''': This kid just caught the devil and you're expecting that to be fine because ''the devil'' will listen to a kid's orders?! |
| 115 | * DirtyCoward: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g39fv_lYt2k What Really Happens When Mario Destroys Castles]]" subverts this with Daniel. At first he is so concerned with his own survival that he's willing to let his friend Lawrence and the Goomba children on the third floor die. Then he sees a third coworker, Carolyn, pinned under a fallen steel beam. It seems like he's going to abandon her too ... but instead he lifts the beam and carries her to safety. |
| 116 | * DistantFinale: The last comic of ''The RPG parody series'' has a time skip of several decades. |
| 117 | * DontExplainTheJoke: Samus really wishes Father Brain didn't in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWHvl2M68K0 The Only Metroid Boss Worse Than Mother Brain]]''. After many a LampshadedDoubleEntendre, Samus isn't amused. |
| 118 | * DontShootTheMessage: InUniverse. The Ninja in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaLiWVTRVeU Social Justice RPG]]'' does generally agree with the Social Justice Warrior about misogyny, and equality, and how that these topics are important to deal with. The only problem is that she referred to the Ninja as a bigot for calling the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Chaos]] {{Expy}} 'evil', and the monster's trying to destroy all life on Earth. |
| 119 | -->'''Chaos''': Yeah. I get that you're trying to help me, but I am '''''explicitly''''' trying to end all life on the planet. |
| 120 | * DoubleStandard: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSkbE5W0YU8 Rampage Apology]]'' mocks this; George gets condemned as a murderer and threatened to be executed via the electric chair despite being unaware of his actions and apologized for it. Lizzie, on the other hand, gets off scot-free even though she blatantly admits that she ''was'' aware of her actions and didn't apologize. |
| 121 | * DrivenToSuicide: |
| 122 | ** Sonic impales himself on spikes in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2YB_QzincA fourth Power-Up Mix-Up video]], when he goes through a Time Portal from ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' and finds out that his future contains [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure a purple cat]], [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 him kissing humans]], and ''VideoGame/SonicBoom''. |
| 123 | ** Haunter [[AteHisGun shoots himself in the mouth]] after [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3QR1OMJMo0 eating Pikachu's]] [[BrainBleach horrific dreams]]. [[spoiler:It doesn't work since he's already a ghost.]] |
| 124 | ** When the Thwomp trio in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgiakbGnbAk The Sad Life of a Thwomp]] are fired for failing to crush Mario, they prepare to hang themselves due to being unable to get another job along with being unable to leave the castle due to only being able to move up and down. However, Mario returns underneath them looking for his watch, which the Thwomps see as an opportunity to redeem themselves as they attempt to crush Mario, [[EpicFail forgetting about the ropes they tied to themselves which also don't kill them]]. |
| 125 | -->'''Mario:''' I don't think you have necks.\ |
| 126 | '''Thwomp 3:''' Oh yeah? [[IncrediblyLamePun Well we'll get you NECKS time]]... [[DontExplainTheJoke Necks... Necks time]]... It makes sense! My jokes are good! |
| 127 | * DragonInChief - This is pretty much the concept behind the video game villain assistant series. Kevin is much more competent at battling the heroes than Bowser, Robotnik, etc because he refuses to carry the VillainBall. |
| 128 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: Alfred feels that Batman takes him for granted in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSOGtARjZVg The Problem With Being Batman's Butler]]''. |
| 129 | * EasilyForgiven: |
| 130 | ** Parodied in ''Luke Won't Forgive Anakin''. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Luke (and Leia) won't forgive Anakin]] for the atrocities he committed just because he killed the Emperor. This is confusing not only to him, but Obi-Wan and Yoda as well. |
| 131 | ** Also parodied in ''Why Dragon Ball Z Characters Shouldn't Drink''. Here Goku and the others did forgive Vegeta, but are still uncomfortable about him [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2ng6G2uCVQ drunkenly reminding them]] of his atrocities. |
| 132 | --> '''Vegeta:''' "You know how nobody likes [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Hitler]]? Well, I did the math the other day and technically I'm like [[OmnicidalManiac five million Hitlers]]!" |
| 133 | * EmbarrassingNickname: "Eggman" for Robotnik in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdsaHO-nUG4 Robotnik's New Nickname]]''. |
| 134 | * EroticAsphyxiation: |
| 135 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sURZwjf_1MM Darth Vader Is Too Good At Force-Choking]]'' features an imperial officer getting off when Vader force chokes him. Vader is incredibly [[{{Squick}} squicked]] out by this, especially when he [[JizzedInMyPants jizzes on him]]. |
| 136 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_Rz_xjlQ5c How Blinky Died]]'', has VideoGame/PacMan asking Blinky how he became a ghost, a flashback reveals he attempted autoerotic asphyxiation but died as a result. Blinky then claims [[BlatantLies he died rescuing orphans from a burning church.]] |
| 137 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 138 | ** The monster from ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYt_-tC0GOw Sim City Monster Hates Your City]]'' is disgusted by the way the city has been arranged (such as a prison being built next to a hospital and a nuclear power plant being built next to a school). |
| 139 | ** Scorpion and Shang Tsung in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9hTb_qiNuE The Most Horrifying Finishing Move in Mortal Kombat]]'' are horrified with Sonya when [[spoiler:her attempt at a Babality turned Sub-Zero into a fetus (so much in fact that Shang Tsung even [[DrivenToSuicide commits seppuku]])]]. |
| 140 | ** In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h7EQa86uks Sonic Goes Berserk,]]'' Metal Sonic [[DrivenToSuicide puts a bullet through his head]] after calculating his chances of winning against OD'ing Sonic. |
| 141 | ** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvaR64xDjUQ Mario vs Pizza Tower]], after [[Videogame/PizzaTower Peppino]] proves his instability via murdering Bowser with a shotgun, Pizzaface flies by and tells Mario and Luigi that he's their problem now. |
| 142 | %%* EverybodyCries: Poor Koopa Troopas and Pokey. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpep_HHR434 Couldn't Mario have just gone through World 2?]] |
| 143 | * EveryoneHasStandards: In ''Why Magneto Can Never Be In The MCU'', Hulk is unwilling to beat up Magneto when he finds out that his opponent is a Holocaust survivor. |
| 144 | * EvilIsCool: An InUniverse example: this was literally the reason why Kylo Ren joined the dark side, as stated in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3IjHPIH6JQ Why Kylo Ren ACTUALLY Turned to the Dark Side]]''. |
| 145 | * ExpositionFairy: Fi from ''Fi Annoys Link'' serves as one, to ''very'' annoying degrees (as noted by the very title of the video). |
| 146 | * TheExtremistWasRight: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcsD6tb9NWE Plants vs Zombies Wall-nut Gets Bitten]]'', Twin Sunflower immediately tells Peashooter to kill Wall-nut under the pretense that he's turning into a zombie, to which Peashooter and Wall-nut both object to on the grounds that plants have to stick together. As Wall-nut begins to drop hints that he ''is'' a zombie, Peashooter begrudgingly obliges, apologizing before shooting Wall-nut dead, to which Twin Sunflower commends him on for doing the right thing. |
| 147 | * FauxAffablyEvil: |
| 148 | ** Mario has his moments, a standout example being in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6wAc7VB1PY Mario Responds to PETA]]'' where Mario casually addresses PETA about his Tanooki Suit being obtained from a magical leaf, all while simultaneously beating up and murdering dozens of animals. |
| 149 | ** In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFxhj7_Sk_U The Problem With Among Us Impostors]]'', the Impostor reveals himself to the Crewmates after realizing that due to their stupidity he would be stuck on a barely-functional ship in endless space if he killed all of them. After 2 weeks of intensive training, he gets the crew to fix the ship and then tricks them with a "party in the airlock", causing them to be thrown out into space. |
| 150 | * FishOutOfWater: The video ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxO8NmDPBZo Mario vs. Green Hill Zone]]'' features Mario getting stuck in the [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Green Hill Zone]] and has a bit of trouble trying to adapt to the surroundings (such as Mario failing to kill a badnik when jumping on top of it has absolutely no effect and Mario attempting to run through one of the loops, only to end up breaking his legs when he falls after running halfway through the loop). |
| 151 | ** The video ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5emU9NJnvM Mario vs. The Pokémon World]]'', however, averts this. While Mario was a little reluctant at first, he quickly manages to get used to the Pokémon environment. The only problem is that he still doesn't know the rules of the Pokémon world, resulting in him killing a Squirtle (thinking it was some sort of Koopa) and ripping the ears and tail off a Sentret and wearing them like Raccoon Mario. |
| 152 | * FlockOfWolves: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmKXgtSN8xM Team Rocket Has a Rat!]]", it's revealed that [[spoiler:not only is the newest recruit an undercover Officer Jenny, but the other two goons and Giovanni himself have been passing along information to the authorities]]. Naturally, it ends with a [[ShoutOut parody]] of the famous "literal rat" ending of ''Film/TheDeparted''. |
| 153 | * FromBadToWorse: |
| 154 | ** In ''Mario Can't Play the Warp Whistle'', every attempt Mario made when he plays on the warp whistle only made the never-ending fire worse, accumulating in him summoning a rain of gasoline which engulfs the whole world. |
| 155 | %%** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fef1G1uVqQ0 Ice World Problems]]'', full stop. |
| 156 | * GiftForAnOutgrownInterest: "[[https://www.deviantart.com/andykluthe/art/The-Last-Nintendo-Power-Subscriber-397726677 The Last Nintendo Power Subscriber]]" by Andy Kluthe depicts a grandmother who tries to get her grandson Timmy a subscription to ''Magazine/NintendoPower'' magazine for his birthday; when she learns they've gone out of print, she makes a homemade issue herself and gives it to him. Timmy is revealed to be a grown adult who gladly accepts the gift, even though he doesn't have the heart to tell her he hasn't played Nintendo games in a long time. |
| 157 | * GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0Y5oa8_ENA Played with]]. Kirby and an unnamed man discuss this in a coffee shop; Kirby thinks abortion only destroys a clump of cells, while the man thinks abortion destroys a human life. Kirby decides to inhale the man so he doesn't have to argue about it… and immediately afterwards changes his stance. |
| 158 | -->"Sometimes you need to walk a mile with someone else in your stomach." |
| 159 | * GoodIsNotNice: Frank Rizzoli from ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQW8HlRHw_A If Super Mario Bros Had a Hostage Negotiator]]'' may be equipped to deal with princess kidnappings, but is quite rude and unpleasant, as evidenced by his interaction with Mario. |
| 160 | * GottaCatchEmAll: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj8-hamSnGg&ab_channel=Dorkly Red Goes Berserk]]'', this trope is mixed with GoneHorriblyRight where Red (or in this case Redrum) [[TimTaylorTechnology supercharges a masterball]] using a Zapdos and ended up catching the entire known universe. Even the UI is mortified over what Red had done. |
| 161 | -->'''Game UI''': You caught THE KNOWN UNIVERSE! Oh GOD. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! |
| 162 | * GroinAttack: |
| 163 | -->'''Thor''': You villain...prepare to...'''Ouch, my freakin' 'nads!''' |
| 164 | * HarderThanHard: Parodied in ''If Video Games had Impossible Mode'' and its sequel video. |
| 165 | ** ''Impossible Mode'' features [[Franchise/MegaMan Mega Man]] going up against an OC Robot Master called Spike Man in a room full of spikes and obstacles; it is implied that Mega Man doesn't even get a hit off. The man guarding the sword mistakes [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] for an intruder and kills him at the start of the game. [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Red]] is offered nothing but Magikarps -- the weakest mon in the game -- as a possible starter. You're given an old man riding a slow scooter in VideoGame/{{Excitebike}}; it can't get over the first bump and crashes. VideoGame/TheOregonTrail has a [[Franchise/{{Doom}} Cacodemon]] come out of nowhere and and kill you with fire balls. [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] finds a baby Yoshi only to attract the ire of its giant mother. Finally, Michael Bay shows up in a TMNT game and zaps Leonardo into a different form. |
| 166 | ** ''Impossible Mode 2'' has the ghosts pass through the walls to get to and corner VideoGame/PacMan. Cops pin [[VideoGame/SonictheHedgehog Sonic]] when they catch him going well over the speed limit. VideoGame/HarvestMoon shows the PlayerCharacter being chastised for not using viable fertilizers when his entire field is wasted away. VideoGame/RollerCoasterTycoon has its player get sued for criminal negligence and murder for wrecking a roller coaster. [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu]] uses a [[KamehameHadoken Hadouken]] in a minigame with a nuke as the target instead. A game of solitaire is prematurely ended when a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Charizard]] card is found in the stack. VideoGame/DrMario quits when he sees that the patient has cancer instead of a virus. |
| 167 | * HeroicMime: Silent protagonists are mocked in several videos. ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyBZy9y0qvg Everybody Hates Crono]]'' and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQDYkH3bkrg Crashing the Silent Protagonist Party]]'' being standout examples. |
| 168 | ** In fact, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TznUG9Ha9o one video]] revealed the reason why [[VideoGame/HalfLife Gordon Freeman]] never talks: he speaks with a ''very'' shrill voice or, as his agent puts it, "sounds like Mickey Mouse raping a eunuch". |
| 169 | * HeroicSacrifice: How Daniel and Lawrence both die in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g39fv_lYt2k What Really Happens When Mario Destroys Castles]]". The former lifts a fallen steel beam off his coworker Carolyn and carries her to safety, dying of exhaustion immediately afterwards. The latter runs to the daycare center to rescue Goomba children, and when collapsing rubble blocks the stairwell he jumps out the window to his death so his body can cushion the children's fall. |
| 170 | * HotSkittyOnWailordAction: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMC83DGDBLI The True Horror of Pokémon Daycare]]'' references this, where a trainer is shocked and upset that the daycare lady let her Wailord and Fennekin breed. |
| 171 | %%* HughMann: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UD1dcHSvZw "That is correct Earth Hu - I mean FELLOW Earth Human"]]. |
| 172 | * HypocriticalHumor: |
| 173 | ** The entirety of ''Moonwalker Henchmen Love Michael Jackson'' focuses on a group of three thugs who kill Michael Jackson before two of them quickly begin to mourn his death. The only thug that wasn't upset by Jackson's death repeatedly calls the other two out for the fact that they're grieving him when they had ''just'' killed the guy. |
| 174 | --> '''Thug #1''': You twos are such hypocrites. [[DeadArtistsAreBetter Yous didn't like him until]] ''[[DeadArtistsAreBetter after]]'' [[DeadArtistsAreBetter we killed him]]. |
| 175 | ** In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw1ewI5y92o Why a Smash Bros. / Street Fighter Crossover Would Never Work]]'', [[{{Mutants}} Blanka]] calls out Ryu for bringing "monsters and freaks" to their tournament. |
| 176 | ** In ''[[https://youtu.be/9pMsGccBEA8 If Video Game Henchmen Swapped Games]]'' Mega Man tells a Ditto that transformed into him how stealing abilities is wrong before realizing [[ExplainExplainOhCrap the irony in what he says]] and starts questioning if he's the real villain. |
| 177 | * IAmNotShazam: The whole point of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZK509PQuEg Mistaken Hero Identities]]''. And later reversed with the player character's mother from ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' calling the Pokémon "Pikachus" and her son (Red), [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries "Ash"]].[[invoked]] |
| 178 | * IconicAttributeAdoptionMoment: The ''Film/{{Sonic the Hedgehog|2020}}'' example is parodied in "If Sega Made Detective Pikachu", in which Pikachu meets a human villain resembling Mewtwo (who, for some reason, already has the tail). |
| 179 | -->'''Human!Mewtwo:''' And I am your nemesis, Batholemew Twosis. But you can call me "Mewtwo".\ |
| 180 | '''Pikachu:''' No! You're just a guy with a Mewtwo tail, wearing Mewtwo purple!\ |
| 181 | '''Human!Mewtwo:''' But you can bet that some incident will occur by the end of the movie that will turn me into something more in line with what you would typically think of when you think of Mewtwo.\ |
| 182 | '''Pikachu:''' But why would it take 'till the end of the movie for you to turn into the version of you that we've all known for decades?!\ |
| 183 | '''Human!Mewtwo:''' ''[shrugs]'' |
| 184 | * ItsAWonderfulPlot: In the video ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTPorf0fwOc It's A Wonderful Extra Life]]'', Luigi is given a view of what would happen if he never was born. What happens is that [[VideoGame/MarioIsMissing Mario goes missing]], giving Bowser the chance to take over the Mushroom Kingdom, Daisy settles for Waluigi, and [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion the ghosts of that haunted mansion]] were free to torment everyone else. |
| 185 | * ItsTheSameSoItSucks: An InUniverse example; the video ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VswEn51y5BA Why Mario and Call of Duty Are Basically the Same]]'' features Mario criticizing the ''[[VideoGame/CallOfDuty Call of Duty]]'' games for essentially being the same thing with merely a few minor tweaks here and there. Also doubles as HypocriticalHumor because... well, the title of the video should give you a hint. |
| 186 | * {{Jerkass}}: Mario is portrayed as an absolute asshole. He plays cruel pranks on his brother and verbally and sometimes physically abuses him; he ''arranges'' for Bowser to kidnap the Princess so he can get laid when he "saves" her; and he makes a Public Service video speaking out against cruelty to animals ''[[HypocriticalHumor while burning, stomping and maiming several dozen animals]]''. |
| 187 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Social Justice Warrior turns out to be right about one thing: The Black Mage would rather be called by his name, [[FirstNameBasis Derren]], than "[[RaceNameBasis Black Mage]]". |
| 188 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: |
| 189 | ** Despite being abusive and cruel at times, Mario does have some compassionate moments. He still rescues Princess Peach when she's kidnapped [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6510gPUZU-A by someone who's actually dangerous]], he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nhb2ceEBDtc takes pity on a Chain-Chomp and brings it into his home]] despite it being dangerous and gross, and when he meets the Undertale Monsters he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvDNZJCNwL8 tries to warn them]] about the Angry Sun. |
| 190 | ** Red from the ''If Pokémon Trainers Were Smart'' series is a psychopath who cuts a Snorlax in half as if it were a small tree, makes Professor Oak undergo a HeroicBSOD after he tells him his research was for naught, throws a Pikachu into the ocean in order to get more Water-type Pokémon, and murders two children. However, he treats his Scyther as an equal, uses the fossil laboratory to revive his father, and insists at the end of the final video that Scyther not call him his boss, but his friend. |
| 191 | * KangarooCourt: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcRAYRirtZQ Mario is a MONSTER]]", Mario is arrested for killing a goomba who was apparently an innocent bystander and a child. The judge and jury are all goombas ("How is ''that'' a jury of-a my peers?!"), and the only witness we see giving testimony is the victim's mother who didn't actually see his death. [[spoiler:He's found guilty and sentenced to death, though he ends up surviving the electric chair thanks to a mushroom he picked up at the start.]] |
| 192 | * KillThePoor: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhotFDyFCXM Streets of Age]]'', when Axel and Blaze don't have any gang members to fight, they start beating up a nearby hobo, with hipsters cheering them on. |
| 193 | * {{Kneecapping}}: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTvx61Pgew8 Bowser Wants a Gun]]" Bowser shoots a Koopa gunsmith named Jerry in the knee, both to prove a point to him and to punish him for his failure. |
| 194 | [[/folder]] |
| 195 | |
| 196 | [[folder: L-Z]] |
| 197 | * LaughTrack: Prevalent in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfsUIxCj5Zk Disney Channel's]] Franchise/KingdomHearts," where Sora visits a world based upon the Disney Channel sitcoms. |
| 198 | -->'''Sora:''' That wasn't funny. [[LampshadeHanging Who's laughing? WHY IS THERE LAUGHTER?!]] |
| 199 | * LampshadeHanging: A '''large''' number of Dorkly videos tend to do this, regarding the lack of certain logic or the overall ridiculousness that people tend to see in video games, movies, and TV shows (see DeconstructiveParody above). |
| 200 | * LearnedFromTheNews: The "Vision Wants to Be in the Avengers Movie" sketch has Vision showing up on the set asking when he'll be needed. When Iron Man sheepishly tells him that he's not in the movie at all, Vision says the following: |
| 201 | -->'''Vision:''''' How about that? At least you told me personally. It would have sucked to - oh, I don't know - have seen it on Ain't It Cool News this morning. By myself.'' |
| 202 | * TheLegendOfX: Parodied in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXA8eweFyfg The Legend of The Legend of Zelda]]", where Link argues that it should be called the Legend of Link, whereas Zelda says people will remember it as the Legend of Zelda. |
| 203 | * MajorInjuryUnderreaction: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sell4hx2NUQ The Secret Horror of Mario Anatomy]]'', Yoshi takes off his shoes. He then calmly asks Mario if he too feels excruciating pain when he takes his shoes off. It is then revealed that Yoshi's shoes were his actual feet, which have now been [[BodyHorror degloved]]. |
| 204 | %%* MostDefinitelyNotAVillain: The aliens in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UD1dcHSvZw Emergency XCOM Meeting]]''. |
| 205 | * MrViceGuy: ''If The Legend of Zelda Was Actually About Zelda'' ends up being about Zelda running into a Ganon who's riding his status as the only male Gerudo on booze, sex and partying, who's ''not'' threatening Hyrule -- ''Link'' is -- so he offers himself up as a partner in stopping Link, goes through the ''Zelda'' "pick up the item" routine and ends up being too heavy to carry and hits the floor. |
| 206 | -->''Oh, geez. Guess I have the 'Triforce of Milkshakes', huh? Seriously, though, this is a-a wake-up call; I, I am, I am, I am literally a giant pig...'' |
| 207 | * NegateYourOwnSacrifice: "Tails Can't Die" explains Tails' in-game respawns as ResurrectiveImmortality, which he takes advantage of by repeatedly giving his own life for Sonic's benefit, knowing he'll come back to life right afterwards. |
| 208 | * NeverMyFault: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v48exUwuw8 The Mario Bros. Go Halfsies]]'', Luigi takes both fire flowers at the end because he's tired of sharing, as he keeps getting the short end of the transformations. He ignores that going halfsies was his idea both times. Admittedly, Mario picked the half that Luigi took, but neither one knew what the other would get. |
| 209 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: A frequent occurrence, ''Mario Can't Play the Warp Whistle'' and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqUL5O5bJjE Sonic, Lord of the Rats]]'' being standout examples. |
| 210 | ** There's also at least one case of "Nice Job Breaking It Villain" in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuX8L-Eukak Peach's Revenge Part 1]]''. |
| 211 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvaR64xDjUQ Mario vs Pizza Tower]]'' [[VideoGame/PizzaTower Peppino]] is animated via sprites from his own game rather than being flash-animated like other characters and communicates solely through his stock screams. Given the DerangedAnimation of his game, this makes him look even more unusual when put next to the cleaner-animated characters. |
| 212 | * NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3IjHPIH6JQ Why Kylo Ren ACTUALLY Turned To The Dark Side]]'' feels the need to point out that "animal friendship" is an actual Light Side power. |
| 213 | * NotWhatItLooksLike: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idDqUVh104k In If Piranha Plants Got Smart]]'', a Piranha Plant uses his new yoga technique to tear his pipe out of the earth and crush Mario to death, causing his blood to spread all over the floor. Luigi comes to start the next yoga class and steps in the blood, and Piranha Plant claims it's beet smoothie. Despite not being fooled, Luigi doesn't care that his brother was smushed due to the latter being a {{jerkass}} to the former all the time and that Mario ''probably'' has some extra lives anyway. |
| 214 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: |
| 215 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BA4Texa1es If Videogame Bosses were Actually Smart]]'' is all about this. [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser]] takes out the bridge and kills Princess Toadstool to keep Mario from fighting and defeating him. [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Ganon]] doesn't leave boss keys for Link to find and therefore prevents him from even entering his lair. [[Franchise/MegaMan Dr. Wily]] leaves [[InvincibleMinorMinion Mets]] in each boss room and orders them never to peek out since they're invulnerable while crouching down. [[VideoGame/PunchOut Mike Tyson]] gets the player character disqualified since they're not in the same weight class. [[VideoGame/SpaceInvaders The Space Invader]] commander orders a new strategy of going straight down instead of going from side to side. [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Robotnik]] has his minions steal every ring in the levels, encounters him early in his [[HumongousMecha Death Egg Robot]], and makes it out of materials that aren't vulnerable to hedgehog quills; Sonic's [[OhCrap response]] may as well have spoken for every protagonist seen in this short. |
| 216 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9apNdSezAs If Videogame Characters Could Break All the Rules]]'' is a heroic version, depicting what might happen if protagonists were allowed to "cheat" via MundaneSolution. |
| 217 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG7R4Bc-lYg Why Magneto Can Never Be In the MCU]]'' overlaps this with StoryBreakerPower: He's not just a ManOfKryptonite toward the main cast; he's one who doesn't waste any time exploiting the crap out of it. And since Hulk has no metal to exploit, Magneto simply invokes ManipulativeBastard to discourage him from attacking. |
| 218 | %%* NoPartyLikeADonnerParty: The animals in the capsule in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upLRB6ZafhA Sonic Wasn't Fast Enough]]''. |
| 219 | * NoSell: Any video with a [[Franchise/MegaMan Met]] will crack jokes at its impenetrable helmet, ranging from one taunting X in ''[[https://youtu.be/t-EZRHI_nu8 Mega Man X Charged Too Much]]'', being forced to serve as a stage boss and not come out of their helmet in ''[[https://youtu.be/7BA4Texa1es If Videogame Bosses Were Actually Smart]]'', and even taking no damage from Bahamut in ''[[https://youtu.be/9pMsGccBEA8 If Videogame Henchmen Swapped Games]]''. |
| 220 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: |
| 221 | ** In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc26EKhZNyM Mario Is Too Mainstream]]'', Tim of ''VideoGame/{{Braid}}'' calls his own game very original while Mario points out that his and Tim's game are very much alike. And even when Tim mentions other gameplay mechanics that Mario doesn't have (time manipulation and collecting puzzle pieces), Mario was quick to mention that [[ItsBeenDone it's been done before]] in other series. Note than Mario isn't even really trying to argue with him, having greeted him with nothing but professional courtesy as a fellow platformer. |
| 222 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJnVVhPGHzs Batman v. Superman v. Iron Man v. Captain America: Dawn of Civil War]]'' also does this. Iron Man and Captain America point out that the concept of Batman, a powerless billionaire genius, and Superman, a super-strong American space alien, fighting each other isn't any different from what they do, much to Batman's annoyance. |
| 223 | * NotTheFallThatKillsYou: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijcBwZG7JII Double Dragon Dad]]'', Billy and Jimmy jump off the roof of a building similar to the games. While Jimmy was unscathed, one of Billy's legs was broken from the fall and the bone was sticking out. |
| 224 | * OnceDoneNeverForgotten: |
| 225 | ** {{Invoked}} frequently with Sonic videos is the fact that he kisses a human in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006''. |
| 226 | ** Sonic's entire period which fans considered his AudienceAlienatingEra is brought up multiple times, with the existence of his popular modern games just being ignored. The videos [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1WgSrjpEAw If Sega Own Mario]] mocking the Werehog gimmick from ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytXpHrq9xoI If Nintendo Owned Sonic]] mocking the tons of characters appearing in the Sonic franchise, ignoring Sonic had at the time of the video been the only playable character for years and his supporting cast had barely gotten any focus, with the much maligned ''VideoGame/SonicBoom'' being the only exception. |
| 227 | * OperationJealousy: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lteu8sApit4 "If Bowser Dated Daisy"]], Daisy admits she only dated Bowser to make her ex Luigi jealous, making a fake Tinder profile and inviting him to the same restaurant to make him think he's being stood up and letting him see her with Bowser. She does this for revenge for Luigi treating her like a "second string princess" for never rescuing her like Mario does with Peach (since she never gets kidnapped). |
| 228 | * OriginalCharacter: Parodied in [[https://youtu.be/uXsSgzKJ0fY Sonic Meets Original Fan Characters]], where Sonic has a conversation with Dylan, an purple Sonic clone who [[MisterSeahorse is pregnant]], Sonia, an OppositeSexClone who got Dylan pregnant when they were making out on a pile of Chaos Emeralds, and Tailz, a version of Tails who has three tails and can inflate his body at will. At this point, Robotnik interferes to introduce his own original character, a badly drawn Knuckles knockoff named Kevin. [[spoiler: The whole thing turns out to be a fanfic Luigi is writing, where everyone kisses Kevin and gets "Super pregnant".]] |
| 229 | * PacifistRun: What [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHeUWZ90cPo Mario Goes Berserk (With Kindness)]] can essentially be seen as. It follows a similar sequence as Mario Goes Berserk. The difference being that instead of slaughtering everybody, Mario helping everybody and giving them stuff. Bowser even has a different reason for taking Peach to his car and leaving. Instead of running from Mario, he now wants to get Mario a "Thank You Card". |
| 230 | * PapaWolf: Police officers are shown as being this to ''all'' children. |
| 231 | --> '''Police officer [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbgRGMfjvdo to Yoshi]]''': "[[YouMonster You were gonna]] [[EatsBabies eat that baby]], weren't you, you goddamn [[MistakenForPedophile molestosaurus rex]]!" |
| 232 | --> '''Police officer to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4LKhakMwqk The Cameraman]]''': "Freeze you [[PaedoHunt God-Damned pervert]]! Leave the child alone!" |
| 233 | * PoliceBrutality: The Camera Man from Earthbound gets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4LKhakMwqk gunned down by two police officers]], despite being unarmed. As horrific as the implied [[PaedoHunt nature of his crimes]] are, this is still a violation of due process. Worse yet they killed him [[BloodSplatteredInnocents in front of Ness]]. |
| 234 | * PoliticalOvercorrectness: ''Social Justice RPG'' is a stereotypical ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI''-esque plot filtered through an even more stereotypical lens of a Warrior taking cues from the excesses of Website/{{Tumblr}}. |
| 235 | * ThePollyanna: In the "Pokémon Disappointed With Their Evolutions" series, Shuckle remains endlessly optimistic no matter what terrible things happen to him, even when he gets his organs stolen, dies from drinking a potion made of every evolution stone, and gets DraggedOffToHell. |
| 236 | * PrecisionFStrike: Done in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfsUIxCj5Zk Disney Channel's Kingdom Hearts]]", where Goofy shouts, "Holy shit!" after Sora stabs Zach. |
| 237 | * PresidentEvil: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l4sUV6uSCo Resident Evil Political Ad]]'' features a zombie by the name of [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil6 Adam Benford]] running for president (it's less "evil", however, and more of a case of just zombies being zombies). |
| 238 | * PreviouslyOn: Parodied in [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=V0fYjxMJbWI Peach's Revenge]] following a lengthy SequelGap, the intro states there were dozens of installments despite being only three videos. |
| 239 | %%* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: More like, "The Reason You Suck" Song with ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oNuGxz_ykc NES Ninja Turtles Theme Song]]''. |
| 240 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: Tails has this in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR2JzK-y5_g Tails Can't Die]]'', which he takes full advantage of to help Sonic and save the day. Unfortunately, it goes to the point where everybody else he knows dies [[BlessedWithSuck while he]] [[WhoWantsToLiveForever can't]]. |
| 241 | * RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Bit-Map Badger suffers this fate in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c5gnQrAN6o Why Videogame Heroes Should NEVER Save The Princess]]''. After [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Duchess Dot]] is freed by [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Pixel Pete]], she accuses Badger of siding with her captors by intentionally giving Pete vague instructions on how to rescue her and proceeds to slit the badger's throat while he begs for his life. Given that the badger sounded disappointed to see Duchess Dot saved, and that he was wearing a [[{{Mooks}} Toad]] on his head, her accusation is probably true. |
| 242 | * RhetoricalQuestionBlunder: In "Mario is Too Mainstream" [[VideoGame/{{Braid}} Tim]] rejects any comparison between Mario's platforming and his own, showing one of his enemies and asking "Does [[https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-e9OFodi49HU/UmrcVtKakrI/AAAAAAAABjs/tyXAGAG1H0c/s1600/Braid+Goomba.jpg this]] look like a Goomba to you?" Mario, confused, answers, "[[BluntYes Yes]]!" |
| 243 | * RoaringRampageOfRescue: Mario goes to extreme measures to rescue the princess in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgACcUDttQ0 Mario Goes Berserk]]''. |
| 244 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Peach does this after Bowser kills Mario in ''Peach's Revenge'', which overlaps with DisproportionateRetribution. |
| 245 | * {{Robosexual}}: Inverted. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnCiVYs91d0 Robo was caught using Chrono's Doppel Doll for "other" purposes]]. |
| 246 | * RunningGag: |
| 247 | ** Most crossovers involving Sonic have him appear in TheStinger, in situations where the Nintendo levels and powerups leave him better than where he started. Followed by a bemused "Huh, neat." |
| 248 | *** Then he gets a [[VideoGame/GoldenEye1997 Golden Gun]] and tries to kill Robotnik with it. The bullet ricochets off of his flying machine and hits Sonic, killing him with Robotnik saying, "Huh, neat." |
| 249 | *** Another scenario has Silver Sonic easily killing Sonic by slicing him in half, and responds by saying, "Huh, neat." |
| 250 | *** After Sonic commits suicide after he witnesses his future in ''Power Up Mix Up 4''. Tails response is "Huh, so... not neat." |
| 251 | *** Appears to have run its course in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9bEDD24cMU If Videogames Were 22% More Realistic]]" a couple of badniks waiting for Sonic soon find out he isn't coming because not only is he tired of the segments taking place in GreenHillZone, he considers "Huh, neat" to have been said so many times that [[RunningGagged it isn't special anymore]]. |
| 252 | ** EVERY time anyone pulls out a gun in a Sonic video, it will ricochet off the metallic intended target and end up killing Sonic instead. |
| 253 | ** A common target is the fact that Sonic kisses a human in [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 the 2006 video game]]. |
| 254 | ** Almost every Pokémon video that focuses on new evolutions, Mega Forms or Regional Forms will end with a Shuckle eagerly waiting to see what Creator/GameFreak decided to add for him to turn into (as of now, still nothing). Other characters will either pity him or take advantage of him while he remains blissfully unaware. |
| 255 | ** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_8NT77WZgU&ab_channel=Dorkly Power-Up Mix-Up 6 - "GET OVER HERE"]]: |
| 256 | *** Firstly, the two workers who got fired in part 5 are back and they lampshade about who re-hired them despite their poor track record in power-up shipment the last 5 times. |
| 257 | *** And then almost every instance, as suggested by the title, involves [[Franchise/MortalKombat Scorpion's dart rope]] and his catchphrase of "GET OVER HERE!". [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ken]] is mortified because it replaced his [[KamehameHadoken Hadouken]], killing E. Honda (and later on, Guile, where it's revealed that Ken also took Scorpion's fire breath, incinerating Guile with it), [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Red]]'s attempt to throw a Poké Ball at a Pikachu accidentally brings its HP down to near 0 due to him using the dart rope, and then with Sonic who accidentally kills Tails with Scorpion's dart rope (though granted he was pleased with Tails' death, due to him being annoyed by Tails' Tanooki Suit, causing him to say his "[[CatchPhrase Huh, neat.]]" catchphrase). As for Scorpion himself? His power-up was Mario's Fire Flower. He throws a fireball at himself wondering what it would do and accidentally kills himself in a non-violent way. |
| 258 | * SatchelSwitcheroo: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QGPZOB_lCs Banjo's Big Mix Up]], Banjo is on his way to Gruntilda's lair to rescue Tooty, but is surprised to hear that Kazooie isn't responding to him. He then looks inside his backpack, only to find that Kazooie isn't there, but rather an art project by a fourth-grade boy named Timmy. He suddenly realizes that he doesn't have his real backpack. Timmy is then revealed to have Banjo's backpack with Kazooie inside it, and Kazooie frightens the children on the school bus, eventually causing the bus to crash. Meanwhile, without Kazooie to fly him over the waterfall, Banjo falls off it and dies landing on a rock below. How Banjo and Timmy switched backpacks is never shown. |
| 259 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: A common occurrence where the character(s) tend to get annoyed in some way by the other character(s) around them and just simply leave. |
| 260 | * SelfAppliedNickname: In [[https://youtu.be/IdsaHO-nUG4 Robotnik's New Nickname]], Robotnik starts referring to himself as "The Big Dog". However, everybody else (including his own robots) decides that Eggman is a much better nickname for him. They later end up calling him "The Egg Dog" which he decides is close enough. |
| 261 | * ShieldBash: ''Link Didn't Get Sword''. In it, Link uses nothing but the shield to defeat enemies and bosses, up to and including Ganon. |
| 262 | * SmoothTalkingTalentAgent: There is a whole series about a smooth-talking agent for video game characters who does outrageous things, like separating Sonic and Tails, kicking out video game characters who are no longer popular, or even trying to convince Mario ''not to propose to his girlfriend'', just because he can make more money with a [[GratuitousPrincess Princess as a love interest]]! It can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQyC-uo0PoQ here.]] |
| 263 | * SmugSnake: Mark, the Koopa from "KOOPA GETS A STAR", after getting the star, taunts Mario by daring him to jump on his shell, saying that he "just waxed this shit". Then the power-up runs out of time, only for [[BullyingTheDragon Mario to kick him away]]. The end. |
| 264 | * SolveTheSoupCans: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCutLc37KSk Resident Evil Roommate]]'' mocks ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'''s tendency to feature rather tedious puzzles that requires a ''lot'' of exploration (at least prior to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4''). |
| 265 | * SpeechImpediment: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-r9C-bV_VI Bowser has a stutter]] and [[Film/TheKingsSpeech needed a therapist to help treat him]]. |
| 266 | * StealthSequel: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFy2LgHmB9g If Pokémon Trainers Were Even Smarter]] has the same [[ShapeShifting Ditto]] (who in turn is actually Shuckle reincarnated by Arceus) from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsG6yxDvPs8 Why Pokémon SHOULDN'T Be Disappointed By Their Evolutions]]. |
| 267 | * TheStinger: Most of the videos have one. The length usually ranges between 10 to 20 seconds. |
| 268 | * StockAudioClip: Sonic's "Huh. Neat" has been used a few times in some "Power-Up Mix-Up" videos and a few other videos. |
| 269 | * StoryBreakerPower: Parodied in ''Why Magneto Can Never Be In the MCU''. Magneto exploits the obvious LogicalWeakness in each Avenger's IconicItem and even steals the [[spoiler:'''''Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos''''']]. Subverted with Hulk, though; since he has no metal for Magneto to exploit, Magneto just invokes SympathyForTheDevil to get Hulk to spare him. |
| 270 | * SuicidalOverconfidence: Deconstructed in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jblJUc9US94 The Tragic Life of Every Bug Catcher Pokémon]]''. |
| 271 | * SurpriseIncest: In the video [[https://youtu.be/pgH10qoBLTM If Video Games Were 69% More Realistic]], Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Candy Kong, and Dixie Kong are all getting ready to go out on a date before realizing that all their last names are Kong. This prompts Diddy to question if they are related, prompting them to all say the name of their grandfather, which is "Cranky Kong". |
| 272 | --> '''Donkey Kong:''' Okay. So... Honestly, our history of incest [[ThisExplainsSoMuch explains a lot]]. |
| 273 | * SurprisinglyHappyEnding: "What Would Happen If Peach Got Regular-Kidnapped" is one of the few shorts to have a genuinely happy ending. Peach is rescued with no harm, Mario isn't humiliated, beaten up, or killed (which could count as a big ThrowTheDogABone moment for him) and there isn't some horrible twist at the end that would turn this into a DownerEnding. |
| 274 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: In "If Videogame Bosses Were Actually Smart", Mike Tyson points out that he and Little Mac are not in the same weight class, and therefore he should be disqualified for entering a boxing match that he shouldn't have been able to enter in the first place. |
| 275 | * SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: |
| 276 | ** In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lea-Dx6b5Y Meet Metal Sonic]]'', when Robotnik says Metal Sonic may be slightly buggy because he was distracted while building him due to "girlfriend issues": |
| 277 | ---> '''Robotnik''': Before you ask, ''yes'', I have a real girlfriend, and ''nooo'', she is not a robot I built that has now gone haywire. |
| 278 | ** In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh0RNIMdsg4 Why Ditto is the most dangerous Pokémon]]'' combines this with IgnoredVitalNewsReports. |
| 279 | ---> '''Anchorman:''' And in local news, humanity is ''fine''. [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Dittos]] have not secretly invaded society, ha ha ha ha. ''But if they did, you'd never know!'' |
| 280 | * TakeAThirdOption: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF35hFeXO9Q Telltale Games' Super Mario Bros.]]'': |
| 281 | -->''[Mario used the "jump with Yoshi then get off" trick to boost him and Luigi up to a higher cliff, leaving Yoshi to fall down the side and die]'' |
| 282 | --> '''Mario''': ''[walking away from the cliff while whistling the Super Mario Bros. theme]'' Hey Luigi, are you doing okay? |
| 283 | --> '''Luigi''': W...Why did you let Yoshi die? |
| 284 | -->''[Mario is presented with two options: "He gave his life for us" and "I did what I had to do". Mario chooses neither]'' |
| 285 | --> Mario: You see...''[walks over to Luigi and [[BitchSlap slaps him]]]'' [[SuddenlyShouting DON'T YOU EVER QUESTION ME AGAIN-A!]] |
| 286 | * TalkingIsAFreeAction: Averted in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ1Syrcep24 Koopa Gets A Star]]''. When the Starman that Mario unlocks accidentally goes to one of the Koopa Troopas, leaving Mario at his mercy, he ends up blowing it by bragging about how he's going to get Mario, and by the time he's ready to go after him, it's worn off. |
| 287 | * ThouShaltNotKill: Deconstructed in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6Oe9iijjbw Why Batman Really Isn't Tragic At All]]''. The petty crook he proceeds to injure is crippled to the point where he wants to die, because he can't provide for his family and they'll at least get life insurance. Batman not killing him is depicted as the easy solution since he can just leave him there for the police to find, rather than solving any problems. He also points out that using the money for your own benefit as opposed to giving to charity isn't doing anything to help Gotham's poverty, which in turn leads to more criminals doing desperate work for money. |
| 288 | * ToiletHumor: |
| 289 | ** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBQ13OXWwk0 Mario Goes Down The Wrong Pipe]]'' has Mario go down a new warp pipe, only for it to take him underground into a sewer. |
| 290 | ** In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcOSh2hF1nw If Bowser Was a Disney Fan]]", Bowser tells Peach that he kidnapped her so she'd eventually fall in love with him despite him being a hideous monster, like [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle did with Beast]]. When Peach tells Bowser she doubts that'll happen, Bowser reveals that he has some living furniture of sorts, namely a toilet possessed by a Boo ([[ScrewThisImOuttaHere the Boo itself quits after people use him]]). |
| 291 | * TooAwesomeToUse: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=354ilF1ZlKI Mario's Rare Item]]'' involves Mario finding a Tanooki Suit, but not wanting to use it, insisting they should save it for "the perfect moment". In the end, Mario never uses it, no matter how dire things get in his adventure with Luigi, and his son Mario Jr. [[EpicFail ends up losing it to the first Goomba as soon as he uses it 50 years later.]] |
| 292 | * TooDumbToLive: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dat2v4gcx3g Ecco's Friends Are Stupid Dolphins]]''. Ecco's dolphin friends are too stupid to even listen to Ecco's warning that aliens are coming to eat them. Ecco just lets the Vortex eat them. |
| 293 | * UnexpectedCharacter: In-Universe; ''Chrono Trigger Time Travel Mix-Up'' features an appearance by [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]], who reveals that Lavos is actually a friendly alien, that the puzzles are easy to crack and that the protagonists are basically losers. |
| 294 | * UngratefulBastard: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXhCvvAtGv8 "If A Christmas Carol Starred Mario and Luigi"]], Luigi saves Mario from the Boo of Christmas Past. In response Mario offers Luigi anything he wants... and then [[ILied fired Luigi for asking for Christmas off]]. |
| 295 | * {{Unishment}}: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sURZwjf_1MM Darth Vader Is Too Good At Force-Choking]]'', the Sith Lord tries to punish Admiral Motti for questioning the Force, only to find out, to his horror, [[EroticAsphyxiation that the man has a choking fetish]]. |
| 296 | * VillainousValour: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g39fv_lYt2k What Really Happens When Mario Destroys Castles]]", two [[{{Mooks}} Koopas]] named Lawrence and Daniel prove to be downright heroic. |
| 297 | * VocalDissonance: |
| 298 | ** Bowser usually speaks with a sophisticated British accent. |
| 299 | ** Though his voice tends to change with each video he appears in, Obi-Wan Kenobi typically sounds like someone in their mid-30s, when even non-fans of ''Star Wars'' should know that he's an old man. |
| 300 | * WastefulWishing: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmiYTX11H3o Link's Wish]]", Link wishes for a Pizza Dinosaur from the Triforce, and Princess Zelda scolds him for not wishing to undo the damage Ganon caused to Hyrule as he does in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast''. |
| 301 | * WarIsHell: Parodied in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJyLOifkKm8 Band of Brothers (Super Mario-Style)]]'', with Koopas in Easy Difficulty Company. |
| 302 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Frank Rizzoli from ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQW8HlRHw_A If Super Mario Bros Had a Hostage Negotiator]]'' is a little overzealous in trying to "rescue" Princess Peach from Bowser. [[spoiler:He seems to be under the impression that Bowser has ''more'' than one hostage and ultimately lets Bowser keep Peach in exchange for a plane and four million dollars]]. |
| 303 | * WhatYouAreInTheDark: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g39fv_lYt2k What Really Happens When Mario Destroys Castles]]", [[PunchClockVillain two Koopas]] named [[FriendToAllChildren Lawrence]] and [[DirtyCoward Daniel]] both die helping others escape from the castle. |
| 304 | * WhatTheHellHero: When Michelangelo takes the pizza in "TMNT Argue Over Pizza". |
| 305 | ---> '''Donatello''': Mikey, what the hell? |
| 306 | ---> '''Michelangelo''': You were taking forever. |
| 307 | ---> '''Leonardo''': ''YOU'RE AT FULL HEALTH, DUDE!!'' |
| 308 | ---> '''Raphael''': Aw, now we'll never get to Shredder. |
| 309 | * WhoWantsToLiveForever: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR2JzK-y5_g Tails Can't Die]]''. [[spoiler:At the end of the short, Tails is grieving since all of his friends and family have passed away. He tries to kill himself, but he just keeps coming back to life with no end in sight.]] |
| 310 | * WildlifeCommentarySpoof: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2kXhevOwkg If Mario Games Had Nature Documentaries]]", in which the narrator is repeatedly interrupted by Mario killing whatever she was filming. |
| 311 | -->"Here we see the Koopa Troopa in its natural habitat. The floating bricks are ideal for avoiding predators. This is a red variety, which explains why it is walking back and forth with no- Oh. A predator has gotten it after all. Moving on."\ |
| 312 | "Here we see a Goomba. It is mating season for the Goombas, as you can tell from the- Oh dear. They shan't be mating this season I suppose now, will they?"\ |
| 313 | "Under the sea we find a school of Cheep-cheep, who- Oh come on! He is underwater! How is he throwing fireballs?!" |
| 314 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: ''Sonic Goes Berserk''. In it, Sonic encounters Robotnik and knocks all seven Chaos Emeralds from Robotnik's hovercraft. Sonic then takes and ''eats'' them, which Robotnik doesn't believe was such a good idea. Sonic turns into a much burlier version of his SuperMode, prompting Robotnik to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere cheese it in a panic]]. Sonic goes on a rampage, attacking friend and foe alike and taking things from them: Tails' twin tails, Knuckles' fists, and Amy's hammer before finally catching up to Robotnik. [[spoiler:By the time he reaches Shadow, Sonic has added Robotnik's mustache, Vector's headphones, Big's belt, and Rouge's boots to his collection.]] |
| 315 | * WorstNewsJudgmentEver: Lampshaded in [[https://youtu.be/yYbuxyhgfvQ Paperboy Newsroom]], where the reporter keeps writing articles about the paperboy simply doing his job, rather than reporting on other stories, such as the Grim Reaper living in a local suburban neighborhood, or a sentient tire roaming around. His editor fires him, [[HypocriticalHumor which ends up becoming front page news.]] |
| 316 | * WrongGenreSavvy: Mario kills two monsters because of this in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvDNZJCNwL8 Super Mario Undertale]]. First he [[EatenAlive eats]] [[AssholeVictim Flowey]] (he mistakes Flowey for a Fire Flower), then he accidentally kills Papyrus by jumping on him (he mistakes Papyrus for a Dry Bones, which "always put themselves back together"). The rest of the monsters die from this on their part (after Mario somehow broke through the barrier they head to the surface to [[HopeSpot "finally see the Sun"]], [[DiabolusExMachina only for it]] [[CallBack to be]] [[KillItWithFire the]] [[AxCrazy Angry Sun]]). |
| 317 | * YetAnotherChristmasCarol: Subverted in ''Mario’s Christmas Carol'', since the ghost is a Boo and Luigi deals with it before it can show Mario anything, resulting in him being the same miser he was prior, [[DisproportionateRetribution firing Luigi for requesting a day off]]. |
| 318 | -->'''Tiny Luigi:''' God blesses everyone. |
| 319 | -->'''Luigi:''' No he does not, Tiny Luigi. |
| 320 | * YouHaveFailedMe: A more sympathetic example than usual in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTvx61Pgew8 Bowser Wants A Gun]]''. The Koopa King [[{{kneecapping}} kneecaps]] one of his minions for making mediocre guns that shoot [[PainfullySlowProjectile gigantic, slow-moving bullets]], but it's hard to say he doesn't have a good reason... |
| 321 | -->[[spoiler: '''Bowser''': There..were ''hundreds'' of your worthless guns on my kids' airships. ''Hundreds!'' And Mario got past ''all of them!'' Literally, all of my children are '''''DEAD,''''' Jerry! Because of ''your'' shoddy work!]] |
