->''"I'm [=EmceeProphIt=], this asshole's Modestly Narcissistic, we're here to disappoint you again."''
-->-- '''[=EmceeProphIt=]''', "''Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage'' LP - Part 1"

''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/ModestlyProphItic Modestly ProphItic]]'' is the joint effort of Mark (WebVideo/EmceeProphIt) and Corey (Modestly Narcissistic) and their misadventures in gaming. Unlike other Let's Players, Modestly [=ProphItic=] has a heavy emphasis on analyzing the aspects of the game, from symbolism to the mechanics to the art direction.

Games they have played:

* ''Videogame/Spyro2RiptosRage''
* ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid''
* ''Videogame/SuperMarioRPG''
* ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite''
* ''Videogame/NintendoLand''
* ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU''
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''
* ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns''
* ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}''

!!''Modestly [=ProphItic=]'' provides examples of:

* AntiHumor: Mark's puns.
* TheyReallyDoLoveEachOther
* DepartmentofRedundancyDepartment:
** In ''Super Metroid'' episode 3:
--->'''Mark:''' This is like the most, like, otherworldly of the otherworldly areas in this otherworld that is otherworldly in general.
** And again in ''Spyro 2'', episode 8:
--->'''Mark:''' One might say Crush has been crushed.\\
'''Corey:''' Under his own crushy-ness.
* DisproportionateRetribution: In ''Spyro 2'', after learning that Ripto smashed a bridge.
-->'''Mark:''' This game teaches puzzle solving! Did that motherfucker smash your bridge? Well smash something of his, like his legs.\\
'''Corey:''' This motherfucker smashed Timmy's bridge, Timmy had four pieces of his bridge, but now he only has three.\\
'''Mark:''' What should Timmy do? (pause) Break the motherfucker’s legs! Kill the motherfucker's family.\\
'''Corey:''' Skin him alive.
* CutenessProximity: Mark is easily distracted by cute things, especially his own dogs.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: To the point where they worry that people will think that they really are together.
* ItMakesSenseInContext: Episode 9 of DK Country Returns:
-->'''Mark:''' You have to spank the blow hole specifically.
* NonIndicativeName: For Corey, at least. He may go by “Modestly Narcissistic” but he is pretty self-deprecating.
* NoodleIncident: What did happen to Mark’s door exactly?
* {{Pun}}: Countless, but Mark’s tend to be the most egregious. In episode 7 of their ''Spyro 2'' playthrough, Corey is trying and failing to make Spyro land in an opened chest, much to his dismay, to which Mark responds;
-->'''Mark:''' Well, you know what Corey, you know why you can't get in the box? 'Cause you just spent those puzzles proving that you can think... outside of the box.\\
''[beat]''\\
'''Corey:''' Get the [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] out of my house.
* RunningGag:
** Corey's Negligence.
** Also, Mark having a traumatic experience regarding doors. See [[NoodleIncident noodle incident]] above.
* SamusIsAGirl: Discussed in the second episode of there Super Metroid Let’s Play.
* SmashCut: In episode 8 of their Spyro 2 play through there is a sudden cut to a boss battle. The pair seem [[LampshadeHanging just as confused]] by it as the audience is.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: They take turns being the two roles depending on the subject at hand.
* TooDumbToLive: Corey is so bad at DK Country Returns that Mark stocks up on lives (99 to be exact), Corey uses almost half of them up over the course of the play session.
-->'''Mark:''' '''[[{{Angrish}} FORTY FIVE!?! FORTY FIVE!?! FORTY FIVE!?!]]''' YOU WENT THROUGH HALF OF THE LIVES THAT I GOT!!!!!\\
'''Corey:''' The term "reckless abandon" comes to mind.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Corey and Mark have been friends for years before the channel even started and they can’t even make it five minutes in to an episode without insulting one another.
* [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents Joisey Accent]]: Both tend to break out in to a bit of an exaggerated one from time to time, especially when criticizing something that is going on in the game. And yes, they are [[SelfDeprecation both New Jersey residents.]]
