Line #42 YMMV/PartyCrashers


1	* BrokenBase: Whether Nick or Brent is the luckiest member of the group is an argument for the ages. Brent even {{lampshades}} this in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mKUFvcAuOE&t=750s How to Cheat in Mario Party]]":
2	-->'''Brent:''' You know what's funny whenever we go live? Every time something good happens to you, my chat goes: "Brent's the lucky one, by the way." But then when something good happens to me, I go into your chat they go: "Nick's the lucky one, by the way."
3	* CatharsisFactor:
4	** With Nick being barnone the most toxic out of the four, it's very easy for viewers to find him rather annoying and unlikeable. [[spoiler:Thus it is ''incredibly satisfying'' seeing him get ''[[CurbStompBattle absolutely bodied]]'' in his ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqUl5TelMew Raid Boss session]], getting ''crushed'' in nearly ''every single'' minigame. The fact that he starts from being incredibly confident that he's gonna win the whole thing to losing almost all hope nearly half-way through the game makes it all the better.]]
5	** Brent always winning nearly every game of ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' has gotten tiresome for many viewers, especially given how the others hardly ever do anything to prevent it, with them harming each other instead. [[spoiler:Thus it is ''immensely satisfying'' seeing them ''[[CurbStompBattle completely annihilate]]'' Brent in his ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGvWRzpldPM Raid Boss session]], as they actually work together to take him down and bring him to last place.]]
6	** [[spoiler:Sophist's]] Chance Time in ''VideoGame/MarioParty3''[='=]s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyWk-1CcBSo Woody Woods]] is simply ''amazing'' to watch, [[spoiler:where he secures himself the victory by stealing ''all'' of Brent's Stars near the end of the game. This is made even more pleasing when you remember how Brent previously screwed over Sophist in ''VideoGame/MarioParty3''[='=]s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLmzBOjzUr8 Deep Bloober Sea]], where the former [[YankTheDogsChain snatched the latter's guaranteed victory at the last second]] by forcing him to give ''2'' of his Stars to Vernias on the final turn and getting the ''2'' Bonus Stars he needed to overtake Sophist in 1st place.]]
7	* CrossesTheLineTwice: Artwork of Sophist [[ExcrementStatement peeing on Vernias]]? Rather gross. Said art being caused by Vernias misinterpreting a drawing of Sophist attacking him with magic in their first ''Gartic Phone'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOfPfz30VzY video]]? Pretty humorous. Nick, Brent, and Sophist making even worse and more direct variants with all three of them shocked as they are disgusted while Vernias is sincerely unaware of the chaos he caused, all culminating in [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sophist_pees_on_vernias.png Sophist's drawing]] depicting him [[OffWithHisHead decapitating Vernias]] with an excessive stream of urine? Absolutely hilarious!
8	* EnsembleDarkHorse: Nearly everyone seems to be rather fond of the editors, even going as far as to call them their favorite members of the crew.
9	* FriendlyFandoms: It's not uncommon for fans of the Party Crashers to also be fans of other collaborative LetsPlay group channels consisting of VitriolicBestBuds playing friendship-stressing video games (mainly ones created by Creator/{{Nintendo}}). This is especially true with WebVideo/SidequestParty and the WebVideo/{{Underdogs}}, as Vernias is also a member of the former, while Nick frequently collaborates with [[https://www.youtube.com/@Poppt1 Poppt1]] of the latter.
10	* FountainOfMemes: It's no surprise that [[LargeHam Vernias]] has bar none the most memorable and iconic memes out of the group, to the point of having not one, but ''two'' dedicated tiers at the top of the ''Party Crashers'' RunningGag [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZylQDefRTc tier list]]:
11	-->'''Sophist:''' I think the rest of the kingdoms get B-tier or something, they're not nearly as powerful.\
12	'''Nick:''' Yeah, compared to the Vern Nation, I'm in shambles.
13	* HilariousInHindsight:
14	** When Sophist states that he has went at least 3rd nearly every time when deciding the turn order in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W5d89zUC0g&t=18s Mario Party brings out the worst in you...]]", Brent decides to put in a montage of Sophist going at least 2nd for most of his past ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' videos, disproving Sophist's statement. However, as time has went on, Sophist would continue to get only 3rd at best in the turn order for many more ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' sessions to come, effectively turning Sophist's statement as fact and making Brent's montage very outdated.
15	** When Vernias beats Brent by 2% on the minigame Trace Race in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eLmrSOn9vw&t=1503s Don't EVER betray me in Mario Party]]", the former states that he's really good at drawing, which is {{Blatant Lie\|s}} nowadays if their ''Skribbl.io'' and ''Gartic Phone'' videos are anything to go by.
16	** Nick SlutShaming Brent and Sophist in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRigloVdrkM&t=183s Mario Party but there's only ONE star]]" for playing as Donkey Kong and Rosalina instead of their usuals mains Luigi and Wario respectively is already pretty humorous, but it's made even funnier when [[{{Hypocrite}} Nick decides to play as Boo instead of Daisy]] for ''VideoGame/MarioParty6''[='=]s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_tQm3p-OFE Snowflake Lake]] ''1'' month later.
17	** When Vernias finds a Hidden Block in Brent's ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGvWRzpldPM&t=205s Raid Boss session]], he clarifies to Nick that he can't get a Star from it because Bonus Stars are off. Cut to "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuXVM_b3QAk&t=1940s Mario Party but we need to TIE]]" later that year, [[spoiler:where Nick receives a Star from a Hidden Block on the final turn, despite the fact that Bonus Stars were off.]]
18	** When Brent makes a ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'' reference in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDl5hWpvCqQ&t=707s Mario Party but we're TOXIC at night...]]", the editor asks when the group will make a video on the game. Guess what game they decide to play for the first ''Party Crashers'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU6c171I3y4 video of 2024]].
19	** In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1usjQ_s2vw&t=191s Mario Party but it's Simon Says 2]]", GuestStarPartyMember [[https://www.youtube.com/@Peanut_SSBU Peanut]] ponders out loud if Birdo has teeth, [[NoJustNoReaction much to Vernias' disgust]]. Later in 2024, the ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' avatars on Nick's channel would be replaced by animations of the group's ''VideoGame/MarioPartySuperstars'' mains imitating the original characters' sprite animations, with Birdo's angry sprite giving her the sharp teeth of Larry Butz.
20	* MemeticMutation:
21	** [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vernias_face.png Vernias' face]], which the other Party Crashers (especially Brent) and fans have edited to hell and back.
22	** "GUYS, LOOK!" Penguin Image "IT'S [=TCNICK3=]!"[[labelnote:Explanation]] Thanks to Brent, there's a good chance that any ''Party Crashers'' fan that sees a Piplup, or any penguin for that matter, immediately thinks of Nick.[[/labelnote]]
23	** "WAAAAAAAARIO TIIIIME!!!" / "YOU PICK WAAAAAAAARIO!!!"[[labelnote:Explanation]] Thanks to Brent, there's a good chance that any ''Party Crashers'' fan will be shouting either of these quotes whenever Wario shows up in any game they're playing.[[/labelnote]]
24	** To the surprise of absolutely nobody, this is a meme. [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS2E1YourShoesUntiedSquidsDayOff Insert Mr. Krabs face]]
25	** "Perfect Rotation!"[[labelnote:Explanation]] Vernias [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomping]] the others on the minigame Paddle Battle while [[MadnessMantra repeatedly shouting "Perfect Rotation"]] ended up becoming one of their most iconic moments, to the point where a fan made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt_0Uqu4Leg trap song remix of the moment]], which has since become an AscendedMeme, being used by the Party Crashers themselves in subsequent videos with the original creator's permission.[[/labelnote]]
26	** "I CAST THUNDER SPELL!"[[labelnote:Explanation]] Sophist's usual go-to answer for anything he faces in [[https://www.youtube.com/@MagicTheNoah Magic The Noah]]'s ''Dungeons & Dragons''-like videos, particularly [[WouldHurtAChild lost children]].[[/labelnote]]
27	** "I SEE!"[[labelnote:Explanation]] Nick and Brent's go-to response to most things, doing an [[BadImpressionists intentionally bad impression]] of Master Oogway from ''Franchise/KungFuPanda''.[[/labelnote]]
28	** "Daisy!" "Daisy!" "dAiSy!"[[labelnote:Explanation]] Whenever Daisy shouts her name when it's her turn in ''VideoGame/MarioParty'', Nick follows up as well. Brent does it too, with an [[BadImpressionists intentionally raspy voice]] (usually accompanied by a SockPuppet GIF), much to Nick's annoyance.[[/labelnote]]
29	* NeverLiveItDown: There are a number of fans that ''still'' haven't forgiven Sophist for being [[TheMillstone the main cause]] of [[ButtMonkey Vernias' constant torment]] in their earlier ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' sessions, therefore not feeling any sympathy for his misfortune ''surpassing'' Vernias nowadays.
30	* RootingForTheEmpire: If any viewers are watching a ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' session uploaded by their least favorite member of the group, either because they're the only one to upload the video or to simply check out their edit of the game, expect them to not be rooting for the original uploader.
31	* ShockingMoments:
32	** Sophist of all people winning and tying with [[TheAce Brent]] on the minigame [[ButtonMashing Mecha Marathon]] in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnAFVre_JxA&t=698s Mario Party but we must DESTROY GOD]]", much to the surprise of everybody, including Sophist himself.
33	** [[spoiler:Nick]] receiving a Star from a Hidden Block on the final turn in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuXVM_b3QAk&t=1940s Mario Party but we need to TIE]]", [[spoiler:despite the fact that not only were Bonus Stars off, but he was also in 1st place when he got it, effectively debunking the notion that players can't get Stars from Hidden Blocks if they're in 1st place or if Bonus Stars are off in ''VideoGame/MarioPartySuperstars''.]]
34	* SignatureScene:
35	** [[EtTuBrute Nick betraying Brent]] on the minigame Honeycomb Havoc [[BlatantLies despite promising not to]] in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eLmrSOn9vw&t=812s Don't EVER betray me in Mario Party]]", cementing Nick's status as the most toxic member of the group:
36	--->'''Nick:''' The [[FanCommunityNicknames Kingdom of Skill]] fucking hates me. Ever since I did Brent dirty in that one Honeycomb Havoc, [[NeverLiveItDown they have never forgiven me.]]
37	** Sophist's Star steal on the final turn in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGpc0Y2ZY9A&t=1768s Sometimes Mario Party wants you to win... or lose...]]", [[spoiler:where he selects the Random option when visiting the Boo and ends up [[KickTheDog stealing a Star from Vernias while he was already in dead last]], leading to #[=JusticeForVernias=] trending on Twitch and solidifying Vernias' status as the group's ButtMonkey.]]
38	** Vernias' [[CurbStompBattle dominating performance]] on Paddle Battle while [[MadnessMantra repeatedly shouting "Perfect Rotation"]] in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA5bs6NHQHM&t=1372s The WORST Board in Mario Party 1...]]" has gone down as one of the most iconic moments in any of their ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' videos, to the point where a fan made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt_0Uqu4Leg trap song remix of the moment]], which has since become an AscendedMeme, being used by the Party Crashers themselves in subsequent videos with the original creator's permission.
39	** Nick's Chance Time in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqUl5TelMew&t=773s Mario Party but it's 1 vs 3...]]", where he tries aiming for himself in stealing a Star. He's initially excited when he manages to get himself on the roulette... [[spoiler:only to start screaming in despair immediately afterward upon realizing that [[FailedASpotCheck the arrow was pointing away from him]], [[EpicFail resulting in him losing a Star rather than gaining one]].]]
40	** Sophist casting Thunder Spell on an [[WouldHurtAChild innocent child]] in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VMniPDc8qg&t=369s I Made A Game Designed To Be Bad]]" has become the most iconic moment from any of the group's collabs with [[https://www.youtube.com/@MagicTheNoah Magic the Noah]]. Sophist's subsequent defense of it being an [[InsaneTrollLogic "optimal play"]] would cement his status as the group's TokenEvilTeammate.
41	* SpiritualSuccessor: The Party Crashers could very well be this for LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys, as they are also a group consisting of NoIndoorVoice VitriolicBestBuds playing friendship-stressing video games (mainly ''VideoGame/MarioParty''). Some fans hoped for a {{Crossover}} between the two groups before the latter's indefinite hiatus.
42	* SpoiledByTheFormat: The [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/impossible_mario_party_nuzlocke.png thumbnail]] for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POEtd94CHB0 The Impossible Mario Party Nuzlocke]]" saying 74/100 is meant to be a SchrodingersGun, but the video's runtime being shorter than average ultimately ends up clueing-in that Vernias [[ForegoneConclusion isn't going to win]], ensuring that the 74/100 estimate is NotHyperbole.
43	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Some viewers were disappointed that Nick and Vernias didn't invite Brent and Sophist to watch the ''47'' {{Fan Animation}}s in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-qTetOJxa8 These animations went too far...]]", similar to what they did in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24qqO-c904U SOMEONE MADE A RAP ABOUT US?!]]".
44	* UnintentionalUncannyValley: In 2024, the ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' avatars on Nick's channel were replaced by animations of the group's ''VideoGame/MarioPartySuperstars'' mains imitating the original sprites. This includes Birdo being used in place of Larry Butz for Vernias, but her mouth is drawn to resemble actual mouth movements, which looks incredibly out-of-place on Birdo, especially with her angry sprite giving her [[ToothyBird spiked teeth]].
