* The blooper reels. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGerVGjcgPU All]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toBRZpDMDS8 of]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOsiJyeNQAc them]].
* Everything about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOrA91_xg4M Tri-Hex's 2014 Yoshi's Island run]]. From [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOrA91_xg4M&t=1h12m23s the dreaded fire alarm]] to the cat rescue to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOrA91_xg4M&t=2h36m25s the accordion of shame]].[[note]]Bonus challenges slow down a speed run, that's why.[[/note]]
* Practically every word out of [=RWhiteGoose's=] mouth. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWDRtyq3Yhg "C'MON BABY."]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-8KNxdXLBA UraniumAnchor's 2014 Deus Ex run]], simply because of [[ButtMonkey how much the game utterly trolls him right from the start.]]
* [=Toufool31=]'s "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoXaRPyvJyM&t=20m0s Doo]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoXaRPyvJyM&t=64m22s Doo]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoXaRPyvJyM&t=92m42s Doo]] Crew" while playing ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' at SGDQ 2013. This became a tradition in later marathons--sometimes unwillingly.
-->'''[=Toufool31=]:''' ''What'' is going on behind me?
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwkgY6DcHJM The Source engine giveth, the Source engine taketh.]] There's something really funny about Gordon Freeman beating Alyx Vance in the head with boxes.
* The Shakespearean-style recital of "[[http://youtu.be/7EBmJZVHOxM?t=20m46s I Want To Be Your Canary]]", the play from ''Final Fantasy IX'' by Puwexil and Spikevegeta along with some of their friends. ''Dramatically so.''
-->'''Spikevegeta:''' What, ho! OUT VERMIN AWAAAAAY! ''(raises the roof)''
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bcwOiesWF4 PJDicesare's Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts run]] is full of close calls and everything going wrong, up to and including ''the game itself trying to fuck up his run'' of trying to use the Torch weapon only. It legitimately tries to sabotage his attempts.
* From AGDQ 2011, Carcinogen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1awnOnzDzFA#t=1425 gives us a]] RageQuit [[CrossesTheLineTwice for the ages]] during his run of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4''.
* From AGDQ 2013's bonus stream, in which ''VideoGame/CrazyBus'' is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n17xowXNlZ0 played]]". Cue the joke from the bystander asking how one would TAS it.
* From SGDQ 2013, Blueglass [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtjclxiVVlw would like some serious time.]]
* SGDQ 2014 featured a three-way ''VideoGame/MetroidFusion'' race in the incredibly difficult 1% category, which most players can't do at all. After winning, [=JaggerG=] explained the hilarious reason he and kirbymastah had agreed to do it: this was the only way they had a chance of beating [=BioSpark=] in a Fusion race. He's the undisputed master and would have won any% easily, but ''anyone'' can die in 1%. (Indeed, all three runners took at least one death.) Within the race itself, kirbymastah has a funny DamnYouMuscleMemory moment when he tries to start off Sector 4 by going right instead of left.
* The entire ''VideoGame/BattleBlockTheater'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDx1FTQBcMM run in AGDQ 2015]]. The ''whole thing''. It didn't help that the devs contributed to the hilarity. Even the runner [=MechaRichter=] known to be TheStoic can't hold his laughter with some of Will Stamper's shenanigans.
* There was a lone donation read aloud during the ''VideoGame/KaizoMarioWorld'' run in AGDQ 2015. From who? '''LetsPlay/ProtonJon'''.
-->'''Proton Jon:''' "You're crazy. Absolutely crazy. Why would you do this to yourself? I mean, I know you'll clear it but why would you do this to yourself?''
** Also from the same run: the first time the runner, dram55, died to a Muncher, he got a box of little Muncher plushies dumped on him in real life. (A larger version of the plushie was later given away as a prize.)
* Jackafur's accidental PrecisionFStrike when he makes a (thankfully harmless) mistake in ''VideoGame/MischiefMakers'' in the 2015 marathon.
* [[LetsPlay/{{Slowbeef}} slowbeef]] gave a $100 donation during the run of ''VideoGame/TheTownWithNoName'' and left this comment.
--> "I decided to donate equal to the game's budget, but [[TakeThat that seemed cheap so I added an extra zero]]"
* A lot of donation messages in general.
--> '''Announcer:''' ''[Reading]'' "What do you call a group of people who create impossible questions to perplex people? The ''[[IncrediblyLamePun Prevent Answer]]'' Foundation!" ''[[[{{Beat}} A few seconds of silence, then laughter from the crowd]]]'' ...Who's filtering these?!
** This moment was made even funnier when the [=GDQMonitor=] erased its previous message and responded one simple word.
--> "Me."
* The grand finale to the AGDQ 2015 ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9yRpzVmBQI 100% speedrun race]]. The traditional "Save" vs. "Kill the Animals" donation incentives were neck and neck until [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9yRpzVmBQI&t=1h20m35s one final, whopping donation]] of ''$10,000'' was sent in from an anonymous donor. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9yRpzVmBQI&t=1h25m30s Their message?]]
--> [[MemeticMutation GET REKT. SAVE THE ANIMALS]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Vanquish}}'' One-handed Bromance% [[note]] The runner, halfcoordinated only uses one hand to play due to a disease so he said that he and Vulajin would hold hands if people donated in honor of the bromance between Sam and Burns[[/note]]
* LetsPlay/{{Medibot}}, one of the goons who was responsible for the famous Let's Play of the game ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Sonic 06]]'' and the player of the Avenger Miriam Webster from the web Dungeons and Dragons game, ''LetsPlay/SomethingAwfulDungeonsAndDragons'', has both played and commentated in AGDQ. Given his status as a CloudCuckooLander, this very fact alone makes it hilarious. Highlights include being one of the best ''Yoshi's Cookie'' gamers ''worldwide'', all while talking about owls and cooking, going in dressed as a wizard, and commentating over his hate of sand during the Floating Runner Speedrun.
* Donators occasionally decide to put their money to the 'runner's choice' (or anyone else in the room). Sometimes, the donators decide to put their money to a runner's choice... [[MortonsFork as long as they choose some incentive that is]] [[LogicBomb against the runner's goals]]. An example was a donator giving [=Bonesaw577=] money to put towards killing the animals in the 2013 SGDQ during his ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' run, despite him being solidly in the "Save the Animals" camp.
* Durin Stivitybobo's run of ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'', he perfectly ran through the infamous blade room in Clanker's Cavern, without using the golden feathers. As he was almost through them, he purposely misses a note, then ''goes through them again without getting hit to get it''.
* SGDQ 2014's ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'' run, wherein because of a sequence break in getting Bobbery early, Flavio is a party member for the rest of the game as a LivingProp on every single screen no matter how out-of-place. This gets especially hilarious during [[https://youtu.be/wC2gfLuusqo?t=17413 The Moon Launch]] and [[https://youtu.be/wC2gfLuusqo?t=21108 the ending.]]
* Just about anything that came out of [[{{LetsPlay/Pcull44444}} Patty's]] mouth during either his own VideoGame/MalditaCastilla run or as a commentator for VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast [[SequenceBreaking Reverse Boss Order]] run.
* The 2014 Metroid Prime run has several ForgotAboutHisPowers moments, including one where ''someone in the audience'' has to remind Miles (the runner) he has Spider Ball.
* [[https://youtu.be/1nkLoUg-Stc Klaige's run of Super Pitfall]] from AGDQ 2015 is already something special, thanks to the game's [[GuideDangIt cryptic]] and [[ObviousBeta broken]] nature, but the highlight comes at the end of the run. After completing all of the objectives, Klaige [[spoiler:repeatedly kills himself on the nearest enemy, getting a game over. The game return to the title screen, starts up the AttractMode... and immediately cuts to the victory screen. Apparently, game overs don't clear the [[EventFlag flag]] for completing everything, and since the game requires you to go back to the beginning of the map to finish it, this is the quickest way to complete the game.]]
--> '''Klaige:''' So right now, everybody is like, "Who is this awful speedrunner and why is he allowed to touch things?", and you're not wrong. But there's a method to my madness, I swear to you all. So--[[WhamLine oh that's time, by the way.]]
* The [[CringeComedy infamous]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow1N6lfZp2g Tomba 2]] speedrun mostly due to the horrifically awkward chemistry of Chibi and [=CavemanDCJ=].
--> '''Chibi''': "So confirmed Santa's number one helper is a squirrel." \\
'''[=CavemanDCJ=]''': "[[MemeticMutation I would really prefer if you'd be quiet.]]" *uncomfortably long pause* "But yes, you are correct."
* Pretty much all of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpXRe-GyKEk Murphagator's run]] of ''VideoGame/DoubleDragonNeon'' at SGDQ 2013 with the game and commentary, but especially with having one of the devs on the Skype call for the run who has several moments of utter disbelief over how badly the game can be broken.
* Alex Navarro's run of ''VideoGame/BigRigsOverTheRoadRacing'' at AGDQ 2015 builds up some crowd tension during its last minute, despite the only actual challenge being cycling through menus and waiting for the game to load. It's very rare that a GameBreakingBug has caused a room full of people to burst into applause, but that happened to be the runner's goal in this notoriously broken game.
* Any time ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' is run, the squatting minigame in Wall Market is accompanied by the audience also doing (the game's version of) squats.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:SGDQ 2015]]
* The ''Roundabout'' run from SGDQ 2015. The game itself is already pretty silly, but like the AGDQ Battleblock run, they had some of the devs in the call who only contributed to the silliness. Also [[LetsPlay/{{Medibot}} Jeffrey the Skeleton]] was the only person on couch.
%%* ''VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1iatojomdQ Really, that's all.]]
%%No. Really, that's not all. Administrivia/WeblinksAreNotExamples. What's funny about it?
* During SGDQ 2015's ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheBoshy'', the runner Witwix said he'd donate $30 for each death and $50 for each boss death with Creator/RayNarvaezJr agreeing to match it. Cue Witwix dying multiple times on purpose to raise even more money.
* In SGDQ 2015's ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong64'' run, the run requires that they hand in several blueprints to Snide, resulting in what the couch affectionately calls the "Ooh, banana" marathon, in which donation reading is encouraged. The reader began donations... with a recursive donation. The couch [[VerbalBackspace immediately suggest going back to listening]] to "Ooh, banana" over and over again.
* Several donation comments often bring in some great laughs too. One particular example from SGDQ 2015 is one donator who contributed $500 during ''Super Mario 64'' and promised another $600 if the runners would convince his roommate to get him a beer. A later donation confirmed that he had done so.
* ''[[VideoGame/BionicCommando Bionic Commando Rearmed 2]]'' run by [=PJDiCesare=]. There was an incentive for "Hype Mode" which consists of glitching the game so Nathan would keep screaming and it was made into a bid war during the run to switch between hype mode and turning off the screaming. The totals when the first checked the donations had the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC5iiH7sY5Q&t=20m38s total for hype at $602.]] Silence? [[spoiler: ''A penny.'']]
--> '''Murphagator:''' We may have misjudged this bid war.
** Also this little gem:
--> '''[=spikevegeta=]''': When PJ says he's found a new game he likes, I immediately worry for the safety of that game.
* During the ''VideoGame/TetrisTheGrandMaster'' demonstrations, the staff started to come up with nonsensical estimates due to the players sending the {{HSQ}} through the roof: "TOO COOL", "OCTODAD", [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld "TUBULAR"]], [[StunnedSilence "!!!"]], just to name a few examples.
* Vulajin's ''VideoGame/OriAndTheBlindForest'' run had multiple funny moments. Some highlights:
** When performing the Save Glitch after getting the Wall Jump ability, he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pTtrFDbPbI&t=11m15s accidentally quits the game]].
** Vulajin explains that the analog stick on the Xbox controller he is using has a small deadzone. Because he makes frequent use of the Bash Glide technique, this often sends him in the wrong direction, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pTtrFDbPbI&t=31m30s heading face-first into spikes]].
* The ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'' run during SGDQ 2015, though not as good as some others, does have some very entertaining commentary by the runner such as the awesomeness of boxes, questioning the sanity of the guards, and wondering if [[ItMakesSenseInContext pushing himself though the wall of the elevator in the hotel they're playing in would be viable.]]
* During and after the ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'' run during SGDQ 2015 they decided to show off some glitches resulting in messed up graphics and other such stuff. As the icing on the cake, the last one completely crashed the game.
* Shenanigans' [[https://youtu.be/wtZ7CzbxBFM Pokedex completion run of Pokemon Blue]] has a few hilarious scenarios arise from its heavy use of inventory underflow[[note]]essentially, it's tricking the game into thinking parts of RAM are inventory items, which can then be manipulated in order to rewrite portions of the game[[/note]]. The setup for the glitch is funny in and of itself, thanks to the runner's BaitAndSwitch commentary.
* [=MuchaKoopas=] does a [[LowLevelRun shovel-only]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY3rhMv5IuI run]] of ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'' with the devs as his couch commentators. It's fun to watch their simultaneous amusement and horror at the corners Muncha cuts to shave off time and make up for his lack of relics, as Yacht Club Games embraced the speedrunning community but was not prepared for this level of dedication.
** He finishes up with [[https://youtu.be/GY3rhMv5IuI?t=59m30s a comical glitch]] very similar to the 'backwards boss door' glitch in ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' where you force yourself back out the boss entry door. Unlike Mega Man, Shovel Knight is able to handle this unintentional glitching. What makes it hilarious is that the devs [[TemptingFate ask if King Knight]] will actually follow him back out, whereupon King Knight [[DynamicEntry lunges in from offscreen and poses]] as if he heard them like the AttentionWhore he is, making the whole couch burst out laughing.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:AGDQ 2016]]
* The Paper Mario Run of AGDQ 2016 had some funny moments.
** When Bowser defeats Mario during the Prologue [=GigaD8=] then Jokingly claims the Run is Over.
** Whenever Edobean used her Twink voice.
* Halfcoordinated's run of ''VideoGame/TransformersDevastation'', with the escalating {{Incredibly Lame Pun}}s.
* ''VideoGame/BattleBlockTheater'' did not disappoint again for AGDQ 2016, with the reveal of the setup used and the technical difficulties, apart from one ''really'' cringe-worthy BlackComedy moment towards the end.
* Noir's ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' Speedrun at AGDQ 2016, filled with sexual innuendos, cringy and awkward moments and [[ItMakesSenseInContext being trolled by Barney and a bucket near the end]]. Pillow smacking and solving the magic cube were also some of the things that happened during the run.
* While the Awful Games block is usually one of the funnier parts of the event with the commentary often making fun of the games and just being silly in general to make up for the games' quality, but with AGDQ 2016, special mention has to go to Keizaron's run of ''Animorphs'' for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor which was nothing short of a hilarious train wreck as the RNG constantly screws him over to the point where he had to restart the run as they decide to go with it and repeat what they said the first time.[[note]]Props to him clearing Levels 1-3 in 20 minutes when the initial run had him stuck on Level 1 for nearly 23.[[/note]]
** Also the Lagoon run is pretty fun, while the game itself isn't too funny, its technical enough to be entertaining while the runner and couch lambaste all the poor choices the writers made with the story. PJ running it is also helpful.
--> '''PJ''': I wouldn't [risk my remaining health] because I like having fun.
--> '''Couch''': No you don't, you're playing Lagoon.
** Also there's Linkum's King of Kings: The Early Years which had some very entertaining donations.
--> '''Host''': [[https://youtu.be/M76g5wyaD-4?t=10m42s Well, FIVE DOLLARS,]] donated FIVE DOLLARS, and their comment is [[MundaneMadeAwesome FIVE DOLLARRRSSSSS!!]]
*** And that donation then proceeded to start a game of one upping.
---> '''Host''': [[MundaneMadeAwesome WELL FIVE DOLLARS AND ONE CENT, donated FIVE DOLLARS AND ONCE CENT, and their comment is FIVE DOLLARS AND ONE CENT! Had to one up the other guy]]
---> '''Linkums''': Man, Five Dollars needs to get on their game.
* During the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' glitch exhibition at AGDQ 2016, Shenanagans shows off a glitch that allows the player to get on the S.S Anne multiple times, and while he's in the area decides to show that [[UrbanLegendOfZelda using Strength under the truck]] doesn't allow the player to find Mew...[[spoiler:except it ''does'', thanks to Arbitrary Code Execution done beforehand by injecting a hacked save onto the cartridge.]][[labelnote:explanation]]Turns out saving the game records a lot of in-game state, including the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_pointer function pointers]] to code that handles in-game events, a major no-no in computer security. A hacked save can change these to point to code within the save itself, giving the attacker complete control over the gameboy.[[/labelnote]]
* The TAS block of AGDQ 2016, basically being engineered runs, is very, very funny almost all the way through, but there are a few highlights.
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRc5RH4tR1E the Brain Age section]]:
*** A part where Tasbot fakes a long loading screen complete with progress bar, then pretends to gain sentience.
*** "7-4=3? Half Life 3 confirmed!" followed by a caricature of Gabe Newell.
*** For one question, Tasbot streams the Twitch chat into Brain Age so it can ask them for the answer. Thanks to stream lag, the results are totally irrelevant and full of memes anyway. Tasbot's comment?
---> '''Tasbot:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Twitch chat. Helpful as always.]]
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQgBjJ7IL-Y the Super Mario 3 portion]], they program in color-a-dinosaur, give Mario a [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} shinespark]], let him choose from various powerups on the fly, play with the scrolling on the 8-1 tank level, [[VideoGame/{{VVVVVV}} reverse gravity and walk on the ceiling]], parody the old "cheating" accusation against TAS runs, then actually let someone play the edited game.
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMtP6QRrFRk the Super Mario World portion]], they input extra code to turn it into VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker. Then they let Twitch chat have a run at it. The chat ends up ''destroying'' the game without causing it to crash, and they even change the title of the stream to "Twitch Beaks Mario" and in the area where it says the year the game was produced, it instead says "[[FlatWhat Wat]]". After they start wrapping up, "Wat" changes to "This has never happened before"
* The Super Metroid run in AGDQ 2016 received a donation that is a CallBack to the memetic ending of the animals bid war in AGDQ 2015. [[note]](At that time, "Kill the Animals" was solidly in the lead, though, making the donation ultimately unnecessary.)[[/note]]
--> GET REKT, ANIMALS.
* During the ''Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz'' run, Miles requests that his favorite monkey be referred to as Baby instead of "the baby", because the latter [[VideoGame/MetroidOtherM brought back horrible memories]].
* ZFG's ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime: Master Quest'' run was one of the most entertaining Zelda runs at any GDQ. It was marred, however, by one accidental death... to ''Morpha''. '''[[BreatherBoss Morpha!]]''' ("I guess that's my never-happened-before...")
** Since then, it's been made clear in every subsequent GDQ ''Ocarina'' run (by ZFG or not) that he is ''never'' going to live this down.
* The finale to ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' 100% run was a blindfolded four-players-one-controller against Majora. When the players put their blindfolds on... they promptly lost track of the controller.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:SGDQ 2016]]
* During her ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros2'' run, [=EeveeSpirit=] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3iWD8qxKt8 had her 3DS battery run out]] in the middle of the final level, so people had to scramble to find a charger for her since she didn't have her own. While she did have the foresight to safety-save ahead of time and only had to redo the final couple of levels, plenty of donation comments were offering to buy her a new charger.
* The end of the ''Goonies II'' run at SGDQ 2016 has one of the couch commentators give runner Dragondarch a SNES cart. Dragondarch's response:
-->'''Dragondarch:''' ''(in an OhCrap tone)'' You have cursed the entire marathon. It is going to die.
** Said cart was a copy of ''VideoGame/{{Drakkhen}}'', a replacement for Dragondarch's own copy that gave a [[EpicFail particular performance]] at [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIt8QIl86Us RPG Limit Break]] earlier that year, consequently breaking (in his own words): two [=TVs=], a controller, and then ''itself''. In reality, they thought the original SNES was making the game mess up, so they switched to [=MetaSigma=]'s "Candy SNES" (which had crushed Smarties in it)...only to have it still mess up. Then they tried cleaning the cart and it ''still'' messed up. They ended up killing the original run and had to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoUrS2aivAc redo the run the next day]] from where the original run failed at with another cartridge, with Dragondarch saying before the run starts that he was using [=MetaSigma=]'s controller for the off-stream setup and the R-button ended up dying. By the time it was finished, they jokingly said that the [=TVs=] and maybe the SNES equipment the runs were done with were likely not long for the world.
*** Even funnier, once it was revealed to be ''Drakkhen'', there was a BigNo from the audience.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Bioshock}}'' run for SDGQ 2016 got interrupted by a ([[spoiler:fake]]) [[https://oddshot.tv/shot/GamesDoneQuick/Uzo0ZaoQ0ZZH0brd50jorJBn Windows 10 update]]!
-->'''Blood_Thunder''': That's not good...
* During ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio'' occasional references are made to glitches that can occur, including this gem:
-->'''Maxylobes:''' I do apologize if the game crashes here [[TemptingFate because that happens]]. ''([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXLqSevcvmw&t=6m33s game crashes immediately]])''
* During the blindfolded [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight Symphony of the Night]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clBZaz2Dryc run]], the runner ran into a serious problem in the library section during an attempt at an [[GoodBadBugs item duplication glitch]]. He got all the prerequisite materials and proceeded to the shop... but partway into his menuing he realized he [[OhCrap hadn't actually activated the glitch somehow]]. He spent nearly a solid 15 minutes attempting to get the menus all in order, resetting multiple times and was completely baffled the entirety of the time. Turns out the button on his controller he was using to navigate menus [[DidntSeeThatComing just happened to die right at that particular moment]].
** [[MindScrew Only for it to activate the map out of the menu perfectly fine.]] Somehow he glitched the game to make the quick swap on the menus stop working and only that, baffling him and everyone else altogether.
* [=Bonesaw577=]'s epic fall into insanity during his ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' run at SGDQ 2016. Between Bonesaw, [[LetsPlay/Pcull44444 Patty's]] commentary, mistakes, celebrity impersonations, random clapping, trolling, crashing the game, and the [[FunnyBackgroundEvent funny sign]] antics coming from the staff, it was "a great ab workout" according to the donation reader due to the sheer, occasionally inappropriate comedy.
-->'''Patty:''' So what's the over-under on half of us never being allowed back to a GDQ?
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RylQGkoZpSE&t=1h22m11s Speaking of donations]]''...
--->$5 from Jeb Bush. "Please clap."
--->(cue the couch breaking down in laughter)
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RylQGkoZpSE&t=1h07m10s At one point]], Patty asks for more donations to be read ([[OOCIsSeriousBusiness out of desperation]]), only for that to be impeded by [[spoiler:the donation guy being ''unable to speak'' due to laughter]].
** The BrickJoke set up at the beginning of the run with, "We did it! We found the [[JustForPun khakis/car keys]]!" upon finding the final fragment.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Pepsiman}}'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C33Xo1hE9XE playthrough]] at SGDQ 2016, complete with a Pepsiman cosplayer on the couch. This run made Pepsiman trend on Twitter, temporarily made it the most viewed game on Twitch, and '''septupled''' the amount of Twitter followers Mike Butters (the man in the live-action cutscenes) had.
* This small bit from the ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheAmazingMirror'' playthrough.
--> Yeah, we're the only ones who run it two player, I think we got world record.
* During the interview with the ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'' winner, another worker sat at the table and remained locked in an [[http://i.imgur.com/N1St1kU.png expression of total shock]] over the outcome of the race for the entire interview.
* Near the end of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'', one of the couch commentators insists that the entire game is just ''a propaganda play made by the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom and the Kings of the other various Kingdoms (including '''Bowser''') to discredit the entire Koopa race.'' It gets even better; the reason the 'play' is performed is so that the citizens of the Kingdoms don't make a stink about the ''economic inequality'' inherit in the Kingdoms where the royals live in big, fancy houses and the people literally live in mushrooms. Whenever the people start to get up in arms, the Princess is kidnapped to distract the populace from their unfair treatment.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJxXBDJhyEw&t=54m44s The incredible discovery]] of a ''brand new glitch'' during tripl3ag3nt ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' run.
--> [[RunningGag That's never happened before!]]
* One from the official Twitter account during usedpizza's ''VideoGame/MegaMan9'' run: "Tech is looking into screen issues. That's what happens when the pizza isn't new."[[note]]Don't get it? Look at the runner's name again.[[/note]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:AGDQ 2017]]
* During the ''VideoGame/BlasterMaster'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5Hq2eASg74 race]], [=Skavenger216=] entered the Area 2 boss room only to find the necessary item already there without having to fight the boss itself and putting him back on par with [=ShiningDragoon=]. Since it happened entirely by accident, it elicited a very appropriate, "This has never happened before!" [=Skavenger216=] just shrugs and keeps going.
* When [=Joester98=] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6asO4MN_Nk fought the final boss]] of ''VideoGame/PacManWorld'', a combination of the boss's positioning and a ghost right in front of it caused Pac-Man to hilariously get flung out of the arena. Of course it had never happened before.
* Greenzsaber's ''VideoGame/MightyNo9'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBGO9dQAdPM run]], mainly for his friends holding up signs saying [[LargeHam "Sprinter!", "Good!", "Quick Clear!"]], etc. and the runner's general excitability [[note]](especially for playing [[BrokenBase such a controversial game]])[[/note]].
-->'''Greenzsaber''' ''[during a cutscene where a character is confused]'': "WHY AM I RUNNING THIS GAME!?"
-->''[fighting the final boss]'': "This is just an exercise in counting, so let's go. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, [[CarefulWithThatAxe AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!]]"
-->"Anime fans, don't pay attention to that trailer; if you try hard enough, you can definitely get a date."
* During the ''VideoGame/DarkSouls3'' run, the bonfire lit message was changed to "IT'S LIT FAM" and the death message was changed to "READ DONATIONS". Additionally, the runner Bubblesdelfuego started talking about how there was [[TemptingFate a possibility that the game would just randomly crash during a lengthy out-of-bounds sequence]]... five seconds later, it crashed.
* In [[https://youtu.be/kOunTCq1sVY?t=21m24s the final stretch of the Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels three-way race]], andrewg was solidly in the lead and basically had the race won, so he decided to show off a bit and use a glitch that essentially lets him walk between walls and come out on the other side... [[EpicFail But he ends up jumping a bit ''too'' high and gets stuck in the ceiling until the timer runs out, basically soft-locking the game and giving Kosmicd12 the win]].
* blood_thunder's trend of FMV trolling continues in his ''VideoGame/Doom2016'' run, [[spoiler:replacing the opening titles after the elevator scene with the ones from [[{{Film/Doom}} the movie]]]].
* Because of glitches resulting in having a third character/follower while unintended by the game, the ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'' run featured some hilarious moments like Professor Frankly joining Bowser, and being stuck behind a door as the other characters move offscreen; and Flavio in space or falling into the water repeatedly. Adding to the hilarity is the audience cheering each time these characters appear in ridiculous situations.
** During Chapter 2, a glitch involving restarting an escape sequence causes [[MostAnnoyingSound a time bomb ticking sound]] to persist, causing the donation comments to either descend into various levels of insanity, beg to stop the ticking, or deny that there's a ticking sound going on. In addition, prior to the glitch taking place, a donation comment stated that one of the runners' controllers was rigged to produce a ticking sound instead of the game.
-->"Ticking? What ticking?"
* Much of the earlier sections in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6LypnJJc3k Shockwve and Amyrlinn's co-op speedrun]] of ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'' [[MotorMouth goes by really quickly]] due to the two having to explain all the [[GoodBadBugs crazy exploits]] and tech they're doing, which leads to this moment at [[WarmUpBoss the first boss, Knuckledragger]]:
-->'''Shackwve''': He's actually a pretty complicated boss for the first fight; [[MotorMouth he has three phases, the first one he's gonna charge me and he's gonna try to do some damage, after a bit of health he's gonna go and hide like a little baby and then we have to fight his minions then he'll come down for the final fight, so the way that you have to do it is I have to make the headshot and manipulate his position so I can actually hit him in the head]] [[spoiler:''[[BaitAndSwitch just kidding!]]'' [[AntiClimax One shot, he's dead.]]]]
** After reaching a donation incentive, [[https://youtu.be/t6LypnJJc3k?t=5121 they encounter Face McShooty]], [[MemeticBadass leading into the hardest mission in the game]].
* During the VideoGame/{{Undertale}} run, [=TGH=] and his commentators act like Papyrus' electric maze[[note]]where he marks out the path for you[[/note]] and crossword[[note]]where you can just walk past it[[/note]] traps are the hardest parts of the run.
** Later on, during the Papyrus fight, they act as if [=TGH=] losing to Papyrus constantly is because of how bad he is at the game, with it being asked at one point if he actually ''practiced''.
--->'''[=TGH=]''': ''Shut up!''
*** And then, come the fourth "attempt", [=TGH=] decides upon a new tactic: [[CuttingTheKnot flat out refusing to fight Papyrus]].
** During the TrueFinalBoss, it suddenly occurs to the couch that "but it refused" is a pun on [[spoiler:the player's SOUL putting itself back together]]. Everdraed, one of the contributors of the game, is actually taken aback by this realization, and [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Undertale/comments/5o2m0h/refused_is_a_pun/ the top post]] on the game's subreddit immediately afterwards was a shocked announcement for the people who weren't watching the stream.

[[folder:SGDQ 2017]]
* During the ''VideoGame/IAmBread'' run, a series of unfortunate incidents causes the run to go overtime. Once this happens, the estimation time goes from "15:00" to [[ShapedLikeItself "Bread"]].
** Also during the run, a loaf of bread (complete with headphones) is sitting on the couch.
--->'''Blood_Thunder''': Also on the couch is my girl Sara Lee.
--->'''(audience laughs)'''
* Deciding that it was kind of boring to watch the [[ShootEmUp Gummi Ship missions]] since they're not very speedrunnable, the staff and couch participated in singalongs ''[[CallBack again]]'' to various famous Disney songs during these 'downtimes' on the ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'' run.
* Vulajin's reaction to a pun-filled comment early in the ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' run is a full on FacePalm and a groan that almost screams DespairEventHorizon as the puns just keep coming and he laments, "Ugh... he's ''still'' going..." and is far better than the comment itself.
* During the ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening'' run, the reason why the runners keep Bow-Wow the Chain Chomp with them for the whole game (you're only supposed to use her for one obstacle) takes ExtremeOmnivore to MindScrew levels: due to the way the game treats cutscenes as objects on the field, Bow-Wow lets you skip them by ''eating the cutscene itself'''.
* During the ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'' segment, both Overfiendvip and Oatsngoats got wiped out just over twelve minutes into a Low% Ice Race by a rather aggressive Phantoon. Patty and the couch had a ball with this one as Zoast carried on for a solo run. Later on, someone donated under Phantoon's name, saying he was sorry for ruining the race, and to [[CrossesTheLineTwice put the money towards saving the animals to make things worse]].
** And then the Hyper Beam scene occurs and as Zoast is blasting Mother Brain in the face after minutes' worth of avoiding damage to not inevitably die:
--> '''Patty:''' ''Taste the rainbow.''
** After the run was over, when it was briefly still displayed in the "Up Next" box, the listing for it instead read "Any% Ice- zoast, zoast & zoast".
* During the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' run, when they reach the part where [[ItWasHisSled Aeris dies]], [=SpikeVegeta=] can be heard yelling a drawn out [[BigWhy "WHY?!"]] from the crowd.
* The ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld Super Panga World]]'' run by [=DoDeChehedron=] began with [=CarlSagan42=] of the couch pledging $10 per pun from the couch or from the donations. [[HurricaneOfPuns This does not slow them down one jot.]]
--->'''[=CarlSagan42=]''': Dode, I know there isn't ''mush''-room for error in this run... ''([[LamePunReaction audience audibly laughs and groans]])''--alright, that's $20!\\
'''Grand [=POOBear=]''': ''(laughing)'' Why am I friends with you?
** After a boss fight with [[ItMakesSenseInContext Pepsi-recolored Reznors]]:
--->'''[=CarlSagan42=]''': Yo Dode, that was--\\
'''Grand [=POOBear=]''': [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh my god, no, no! No! NO!]]\\
'''[=CarlSagan42=]''': --that was some ''tricera-top notch'' gameplay! ''(audience boos)'' No! You can boo me, but [[WorldOfPun Boos are in the game]], [[InsultBackfire you're just making another pun!]]
** At one point, a donation comes up, and [[StraightMan POOBear gets fed up]]:
--->'''Announcer''': We've got $100 from Jay Gelvar: "Carl, I'm donating ''pun-hundred'' dollars just for you!"\\
'''Grand [=POOBear=]''': That doesn't work, that's not a pun! That's just replacing "one" with "pun!"\\
'''[=CarlSagan42=]''': [[TheGadfly It was pun-derful]], I don't know what you're talking about.
** 30 minutes into the run and nearing the ending:
--->'''Announcer:''' I got word that "Super Panga World" is trending worldwide on Twitter.”\\
'''[=CarlSagan42=]"''' Is that Super Panga World or Super ''Punga'' World?”
** Freaking out over the [[spoiler:invisible floor]] in the "Dolphin Hideout" level and acting like it was a glitch.
* Blackbeltginganinja's "glitchless" run of ''VideoGame/MirrorsEdge'' getting ruined by the guy on the couch constantly mocking him for using minor glitches during the run. Also doubles as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fsu4miYMWo cringe]].

[[folder:HRDQ]]
* During the ''Undertale'' race, the Twitch chat could hear the players mashing certain keys on their keyboards--so the chat naturally spammed keyboard-mashed gibberish every time the players mashed their own.
* HRDQ had a 6-hour Chrono Trigger run on Saturday night. Though some were quick to complain, the run was extremely funny thanks to the chemistry between the runner and his virtual couch, and thanks to the person in charge of the marathon overlay beginning to add Chrono Trigger sprites to it about halfway through the run. The piece of art that resulted should be in a museum.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:AGDQ 2018]]
* During the pre-show, [=JHobz=] is one of the team at the booth talking about the upcoming runs. He then announces Blechy is doing an interview next with the first runner, and there's a [[DramaticPause Pregnant Pause]] before [=ProtoMagicalGirl=] reminds him that '''''he''''' is the first runner, and he abruptly runs out of the booth area to get to the interview he just announced!
** It then cuts abruptly to [=SpikeVegeta=] playing a very dubious game of Uno with [=ProtoMagicalGirl=], involving cheating with a Pot Of Greed card, shortly after, a very crudely drawn "We'll Be Right Back" card is pushed in front of the camera as they wait for [=JHobz=] to get back.
* During the ''VideoGame/InfamousFirstLight'' run, the Twitch stream cuts out, and the test card says, in typical AGDQ fashion, [[RunningGag This Has Never Happened Before]].
* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'': The runner makes several [[Memes/TheDarkKnightTrilogy Baneposting]] references during the Bane boss fight, specifically calling him a "big guy" and saying that pulling the tubes from his back must be "extremely painful".
* [[https://youtu.be/zN6Cl-kE8dE The run of]] ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' was already pretty funny on purpose, with the runner using a horse-tilting exploit that allowed the character to speed across the landscape so quickly that the game engine sometimes couldn't keep up, all with a ridiculous-looking super-fast running animation. The whole run went off the rails, however, during the first Alduin fight, where, due to some bad RNG, the level 1 character got hit with two Frost Breaths, bringing their health down to a sliver, after which the runner made a ''quicksave''. The next few minutes were spent with the character trying to hide behind rocks to slowly regenerate health, only for Alduin to breathe Frost through the cliff face to find them again and again, until they give up and ''enable the God Mode cheat'' just to save the run.
* Carcinogen's run of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard'' on [[HarderThanHard Madhouse difficulty]] (with a fresh file!) is as hilarious as it is awesome, as he manages to come in ten seconds under estimate despite the game trolling him every step of the way. The funniest section is during Mia's {{Flashback}}, where Carcinogen gets [[https://youtu.be/qcpeugvrFx8?t=1h44m11s an unexpected visit]] from a [[SuperpoweredMooks Molded]] who's normally not supposed to spawn in that part of the level. He has Mia close the door and hide, hoping this will make the Molded [[EverythingFades despawn]]. [[spoiler:Then the game decides to screw with him - the combat music cuts out, making Carcinogen think that the Molded has despawned, but it's [[JumpScare waiting for Mia and ready to attack as she opens the door.]]]]
** Crossing over with SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments, Carcinogen manages to escape without dying.
** A mild RunningGag: While trudging through a basement 5 minutes in, Carci points out that [[ArtisticLicenseGeography real houses in Louisiana don't have basements]]. Ten minutes later, a donator named "Louisiana Guy" comes in with $10 to relay that [[ShownTheirWork he's indeed correct]], then challenges him to give another Louisiana fact for another $5. Later, Carci points out the centipedes in one scene appear to be [[MisplacedWildlife Japanese mukade]] rather than the redheaded centipedes native to the area, and sure enough, ten minutes later, Louisiana Guy appears again to also confirm it, additionally adding that [[{{Squick}} they taste great in gumbo]].
** Several moments of "downtime" where the announcer, Aprilcake, reads off donations during unskippable cutscenes are made much funnier by the fact that... well, it's ''[[NightmareFuel Resident Evil 7]]''. In particular, she gets audibly {{Squick}}ed out during [[{{Fingore}} Lucas' VHS message]] and [[spoiler:Alan]]'s [[NauseaFuel death scene]], reading donations as if she's trying her best to [[ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject distract the audience]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u320GZ-_B8 [=SuccinctAndPunchy's=] run of]] ''VideoGame/SilentHill1'' happened in the middle of the night, and at one point, he and the couch have this amusing digression:
-->'''Punchy''': I downed like 5 pints of Coke before this run. [[ThatCameOutWrong Like, cola.]]\\
'''Techie''': Welcome to America. ''(crowd laughs)''\\
'''Plywood''': You need a bucket or something? Like a barrel?\\
'''Punchy''': Dude, everywhere I go to has free refills, it's not like that in the UK, it's amazing! I'm enjoying it so much!\\
'''Maxylobes''': I saw you [[BigEater eating a red velvet cake the other day]].\\
'''Punchy''': I know! I went to IHOP the other day and they just had a whole cake as a meal -- I got halfway through it before I realized "I'm just eating a whole cake as a meal, this is amazing." This country's fascinating!
* "So what [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite2 Ghetsis]] ''really'' needed... was an [[GameBreaker Excadrill.]]"
** [[HelloInsertNameHere The player name]] is "Oh no, I". This leads to instant hilarity when getting items and sending out Pokemon.
* One of the prizes in the giveaway is an Atari 2600 with a copy of ''Dragster'' signed by Darbian. The minimum bid to get it? $5.57. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Dragster is known for controversy surrounding a supposed world record time of 5.51 seconds. The best time anyone has ever gotten, either by TAS or a human, is 5.57. Darbian was the first human to get the time of 5.57 on a console.[[/labelnote]]
* The Awful Games block was mostly side splitting, but highlights include the [=ThaRixer=]'s ''VideoGame/DogsLife'' run where a skip through the groomer's was failed at least 10 times (it usually takes 3 at most) leading to an [[OverlyLongGag unskippable 20 second cutscene every time]], and self declared "King of the MercyKill run" Keizarion getting a "[[RunningGag never happened before]]" glitch through a platform on the last level of Animorphs, causing him just enough time loss to [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption come in slightly over estimate]].
** Throughout the ''VideoGame/DogsLife'' run, [=ThaRixer=] and the rest of the couch call to attention that in Europe, the game was rated 3+. [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids The reminders are very well-deserved]], especially once they get to [[spoiler:[[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath Miss Peaches' death scene at the end]].]]
--->'''The Big Machine''': [[spoiler:[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Miss Peaches... is...]] [[KarmicDeath cat food.]]]]\\
'''[=ThaRixer=]''': [[spoiler:And she's dead!]] ''([[CrossesTheLineTwice audience applauds wildly]])''\\
'''Punchy''': I can't believe [[spoiler:Miss Peaches is dead]]!\\
'''[=joester98=]''': [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids Three-plus]]!\\
'''[=ThaRixer=]''': [[RefugeInAudacity Three-plus]]!
** However, possibly the favorite run of the block was obscure 2001 PC game [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gosSNHRPWZA "Arabian Nights" by Kotti]], featuring such gems as [[GoodBadBugs receiving an item on the current stage every time the protagonist hits the skybox]], [[MostAnnoyingSound baffling voice clips and animal sounds being played at inappropriate times]], various body parts disappearing as the protagonist goes out of bounds, killing the sultan's [[EvilChancellor vizier]] while a princess espouses on the protagonist's "good heart", [[MarryThemAll marrying five princesses across the course of the game]], and ending on [[https://i.imgur.com/WxH0CUO.jpg this triumphant shot of the protagonist,]] leaving much of the audience and ''especially'' the couch members [[{{Corpsing}} on the verge]] [[ContagiousLaughter of hysterics]]. Needless to say, [[https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/arabian_nights people are clamoring for a rerelease of the game]] on [[Website/GOGDotCom GOG]].
*** At one point, Kotti somehow runs into severe lag and has to restart the game. However, when the game restarts, it insists on starting in fullscreen (the run up to that point was windowed, so the stream was now only showing a quarter of the game screen). They have to pause the timer and call in the tech crew to fix the stream, but when Kotti resumes the run:
----> [[ShaggyDogStory "Is it gonna go back to windowed?"]]\\
''(it does, the timer pauses for laughter)''
*** During the run, there's a bidding war between the next blind speedrunner for ''VideoGame/EnviroBear2000'', initially leaning towards authorblues, but eventually being overtaken with Brossentia (who's on the couch), [[ThisIsGonnaSuck much to his dismay]]. He ends up with a $1000+ lead, and once the ''Arabian Nights'' run ends:
--->'''Announcer''': Also, Brossentia, [[FalseReassurance good news]]! [[FromBadToWorse You're]] ''[[FromBadToWorse more]]'' [[FromBadToWorse in the lead]]!
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8DWMobJp4Q authorblues' run on]] ''[[Film/Titanic1997 Titenic]]'' ([[BlindIdiotTranslation sic]], [[ShoddyKnockoffProduct it's one of those games]]) features Brossentia's goofy narration voice over the game's [[BlindIdiotTranslation questionably-translated text scenes]] (which tell you the entire plot of the movie while gameplay is just Jack or Rose running around beating up random animals and staff members who probably shouldn't be attacking their passengers), and a surprise GagCensor over Rose's [[VisualPun puppies]].
* Sent embracing his MemeticMutation status by randomly appearing at the end of interview segments to plug the latest merchandise giveaways--sometimes embellished by a SoBadItsGood screen transition.
** [=SpikeVegeta=] attempts to mimic him late in the marathon, but can't get the [[Franchise/DragonBall Instant Transmission]] off.
* heyZeusHeresToast's run of ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' is this in its entirety thanks to Zeus's commentary, which includes getting the entire audience incredibly excited over [[MundaneMadeAwesome a succession of ladders]] (to the point of somebody in the crowd [[https://youtu.be/6a8bc-V6seo?t=6791 chanting "LADDER! LADDER! LADDER!]]).
* In the middle of PJ's ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' arcade run, [[https://youtu.be/Oqp8CfsVVtM?t=20m20s his attack button breaks]]. Any other runner would get nothing but sympathy for this. PJ? Mid-run disasters are such a constant for him that everyone -- coach crew, announcer, even donators -- just ''rides'' him for it. Relentlessly!
** PJ has a little panic attack when his button fails, and that's not the [[https://youtu.be/Oqp8CfsVVtM?t=24m20s last of his joystick malfunctioning in the same run]].
--->'''Klaige:''' Could you just try ''not being you'' for one run ever?
* In espumbrajolt's run of ''VideoGame/BurnoutParadise'', [[https://youtu.be/7tPIn8b9pAA?t=1627 at one point the announcer briefly slips up a donation]] by saying "[[{{Malaproper}} thirty daughters]]" before correcting himself to "thirty dollars." This ends up triggering many snarky donations for the rest of the run:
-->''"Here's five more ''daughters'' and go fasta." [[TemptingFate I'm not gonna be able to]] [[NeverLiveItDown live that one down, I don't think.]]''\\
''We have-- [[ThisIsGonnaSuck oh, goodness]], $50 from Prashker saying "50 daughters hyyyyype!"''\\
''"Here are five daughters, genders runner's choice."''\\
''We have $5 from [[Disney/{{Mulan}} Shang, saying]] [[EarWorm "Did they give me daughters / When I asked for sons?"]]''\\
''"Serious respect to the announcer for taking in all these lost children. Here's some support because childcare is expensive."''\\
''"I would like it if you [[MemeticMutation never talk to me or my 50 sons ever again.]]"''
* Half of the commentary for the randomizer romhack race of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'' is hilarious, mostly due to Patty's constant lighthearted heckling of Andy over his use of the hover glitch in a No Major Glitches run.[[note]]The run was initially called "No Glitches" due to a confusion: The hacked ROM was (as usual) generated with the "no glitches" ''randomizer logic'' (which means the game doesn't require any glitch use to complete, so non-speedrunners can do it) but the typical race rules for ''the runners'' themselves are No Major Glitches (which allows hover, fake flippers and the like, but not the weird out-of-bounds stuff)[[/note]]
-->'''Patty:''' Oh my god, he's cheating ''again''! ...it's not actually cheating, I just hate that he can do it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:SGDQ 2018]]
* During ''VideoGame/BanjoTooie'' the group talks about Jamjars having a 10% chance of bonking his head when diving back into his hole and losing time. It happens twice with the second time being in the worst possible location after the runner made a TemptingFate statement about it.
* The hardest part of the famously-difficult ''VideoGame/GhostsAndGoblins'' run? Getting it working, which took almost half as long as the run itself. The crew and the chat grew increasingly bemused at each failure of the game to load properly, which chat began referring to as 'loops' in the spirit of the game, and the beginning of the run was met with a larger round of applause than usual.
* ''VideoGame/ArdyLightfoot'' was subjected to the same riffing as an Awful Block game due to the runner and the couch being both tired and hungry. The latter is probably why they spent more time talking about Arby's than the actual game. Someone also brought a small air horn and would sound it immediately after boss fights, or at completely random times.
* [[WebVideo/FoldingIdeas FoldableHuman]] consulting his co-commentator Crystal on [[EscortMission the solution to the fifth level]] of ''VideoGame/{{AMY}}'', which [[https://clips.twitch.tv/RelatedTubularCobraAMPTropPunch she delivers in motor-mouth fashion]] for about forty seconds, only for him to solve it seconds later by [[CuttingTheKnot running to the end of the stage, hitting a checkpoint and reloading from it]].
** Crystal [[MemeticMutation is a]] [[Music/{{Eminem}} Rap]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpUrayxVRNk Goddess]].
** The fact that the run is listed as an "[[{{Pun}} AMY%]]" run.
** The pair's semi-sincere reverence of 'Cello the cab driver in the first chapter, with [=FoldableHuman=] lipsyncing an entire unskippable dialogue scene with his hilarious "Boston" accent, only for Crystal to only offhandedly mention later on "[[DroppedABridgeOnHim Oh by the way, Cello died]]."
** Due to the off-center player character model axis and its frequency to get caught on terrain, [=FoldableHuman=] frequently has to turn 270 degrees to leave an area, which he repeatedly refers to as "Film/{{Zoolander}} turns."
* [=JustFlandre=]'s TemptingFate moment during ''Sonic Adventure DX'' when he spoke of a potential soft lock that was capable of damaging the entire save file, but it hadn't happened to him in a couple of years. Naturally, it happened during the run. However, [=JustFlandre=] was savvy enough to have a back-up save.
* During the ''[[VideoGame/BionicCommando Bionic Commando Rearmed]]'' run, the "hype mode" glitch (see SGDQ 2015) comes back through a donation incentive. After said incentive passes with flying colors, the player character just ''screams'' all throughout the run.[[note]]Well, whenever the player finds an elevator, necessary for the glitch... and ''one'' time near the 40-minute mark where it somehow activates, bewildering the player and couch[[/note]] Cue donations that consist of yelling [[CarefulWithThatAxe "AAAAAAAAAAAAA"]]. The category was even renamed to [=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAny=]%! And that's not even counting the hilarious couch commentary or the crowd participation. And capping things off was this post-run remark from the GDQ host:
-->Thank you, PJ, for that test of the Emergency Broadcast System.
* The ''VideoGame/TheSimpsonsHitAndRun'' run is done with the game in French, so there's naturally comments about the awkward voice acting (in particular Marge).
** [[spoiler:[[https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/8u0jrb/is_it_just_me_or_did_they_mod_siivagunners/ As it happens]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8TAJh0UIro&t=3m53s some of]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8TAJh0UIro&t=26m46s the music]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-OYbRSbZqk tracks in]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uce4ZsxQx6U the game]] [[Music/SiIvaGunner were altered]].]]
** The bad physics of the Canyonero also get spotlighted, as the car has a tendency to spin out and do whatever.
--->'''Sadly''': (after jumping the tire fire... and promptly doing a 540° upon landing) [[SarcasmMode Shout out to the Canyonero.]]
** Near the end of "From Outer Space...", Sadly and his couch commentator, Bill, bring up the chase part of the level, [[SarcasmMode mentioning how brutal Chief Wiggum is]], before showing off the strat to beat the chase section: [[spoiler:[[CuttingTheKnot going into the Simpson house]]]].
* During the Goof Troop post-run interview, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pscALD_dgSg&t=32m1s Sumichu gets a red card]] for her IncrediblyLamePun. She takes it in stride:
-->Well you know what? They were ''right!'' ''[[[BreakingTheFourthWall turns & looks right into the camera]]]'' [[MemeticMutation GDQ doesn't let you have any fun.]] I'm ''out'', suckers!
** Her "unemployment" then becomes a RunningGag for the rest of the marathon. Up to and including her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsUE2xzr4qM&t=7h6m1s lack of a badge]] during the Finale [[note]][[https://twitter.com/sumichu/status/1013329700415004672 (which was actually unintentional)]][[/note]]
* During the ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI Kingdom Hearts I.5 HD]]'' run, someone donates $50 if the announcer can explain the story in under 2 minutes. [[MotorMouth She does it]] [[https://clips.twitch.tv/FilthyTenaciousSheepBlargNaut in 1]], ending on:
-->"And also Creator/{{Disney}} is in there somewhere, I forget, I dunno, something about WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse."
* The folks running ''VideoGame/MineirinhoUltraAdventures'' came dressed for the occasion and one of them kept shouting each Portuguese stage name in a GratuitousForeignLanguage accent.
* During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhZ8UOa-07c JTB's New Game Professional run of]] ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'', he and the couch build up the [[MemeticBadass badass credentials]] of [[EnsembleDarkhorse Mike the]] [[TheCavalry Helicopter Pilot]] late into the game, [[spoiler:with ''everyone'' mourning [[TooCoolToLive his abrupt, skipped-over death]]]].

* In the ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid''/''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'' crossover randomizer, Andy found Ganon's Tower's Big Key in its worst possible location, out of a possible 22: On Bob's Torch, which requires the Pegasus Boots, which he didn't have.
** The game kept trolling Andy by giving Palace of Darkness's last item to its boss, then Andy ''almost'' cleaned out Misery Mire, only to ''forget'' he didn't have the Cane of Somaria and try to head for the boss.
** After almost an hour of looking for the boots amidst various boot-related puns from the donations, Andy finally finds the boots in Tower of Hera's Big Chest. His comment? "Funny thing about that chest, I specifically didn't do that one [when completing the dungeon] because I didn't have the boots."
** Patty even makes a quick donation out of spite from the last time they did a randomizer
-->'''Patty''': Where is your hover god now?!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWnGiH1bPQw&t=29s Ecdycis' run of]] ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'' has a few laughs in it:
** Early on when he gets to the clock puzzle, he and his couch have a brief moment predicting what randomly-generated position the clock hand would start at, the solution requiring it being wound to 9:10. He calls Tech out for suggesting the time-consuming 3:25, [[TemptingFate but sure enough, it spawns at 3:55]].
** Ecdycis skips through most cutscenes, both for time-saving and [[NightmareFuel content reasons]], but decides to show one cutscene for "[[BlatantLies fanservice]]":
--->'''Ecdycis''': I'm gonna show of a fanservice cutscene for you here, it's gonna be very risque, as they say, [[BlatantLies and I think all of you will enjoy it very very much, it's very appealing]]. Check it out!\\
''([[FanDisservice cut to a shot of Eddie's]] PlumbersCrack [[{{Squick}} as he's puking in a bathroom]])''\\

* During the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' glitch exhibition at AGDQ 2016, Shenanagans shows off a glitch that allows the player to get on the S.S Anne multiple times, and while he's in the area decides to show that [[UrbanLegendOfZelda using Strength under the truck]] doesn't allow the player to find Mew...[[spoiler:except it ''does'', thanks to Arbitrary Code Execution done beforehand.]]

** Said cart was a copy of ''VideoGame/{{Drakkhen}}'', a replacement for Dragondarch's own copy that gave a [[EpicFail particular performance]] at [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIt8QIl86Us RPG Limit Break]], consequently breaking (in his own words): two [=TVs=], a controller, and then ''itself''. In reality, they thought the original SNES was making the game mess up, so they switched to [=MetaSigma=]'s "Candy SNES" (which had crushed Smarties in it)...only to have it still mess up. Then they tried cleaning the cart and it ''still'' messed up. They ended up killing the original run and had to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoUrS2aivAc redo the run the next day]] from where the original run failed at with another cartridge, with Dragondarch saying at one point before the run starts that he was using [=MetaSigma=]'s controller for the off-stream runback and the R-button ended up dying. By the time it was finished, they jokingly said that the [=TVs=] and maybe the SNES consoles the runs were done on were likely not long for the world.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u320GZ-_B8 [=SuccinctAndPunchy's=]s run of]] ''VideoGame/SilentHill1'' happened in the middle of the night, and at one point, he and the couch have this amusing digression:

* During the ''[[VideoGame/BionicCommando Bionic Commando Rearmed]]'' run, the player character just ''screams'' all throughout the run. Cue donations that consist of yelling [[CarefulWithThatAxe "AAAAAAAAAAAAA"]]. The category was even renamed to [=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAny=]%! And that's not even counting the hilarious couch commentary or the crowd participation. And capping things off was this post-run remark from the GDQ host:

'''[=ThaRiver=]''': [[RefugeInAudacity Three-plus]]!

* The Awful Games block was mostly side splitting, but highlights included the Dog's Life run where a skip through the groomer's was failed at least 10 times (it usually takes 3 at most) leading to an [[OverlyLongGag unskippable 20 second cutscene every time]], and self declared "King of the MercyKill run" Keizarion getting a "[[RunningGag never happened before]]" glitch through a platform on the last level of Animorphs, causing him just enough time loss to [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption come in slightly over estimate]].

** However, possibly the favorite run of the block was obscure 2001 PC game [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gosSNHRPWZA "Arabian Nights" by Kotti]], featuring such gems as [[GoodBadBugs receiving an item on the current stage every time the protagonist hits the skybox]], [[MostAnnoyingSound baffling voice clips and animal sounds being played at inappropriate times]], the protagonist's torso disappearing as he goes out of bounds, killing the sultan's guard while a princess espouses on the protagonist's "good heart", [[MarryThemAll marrying five princesses across the course of the game]], and ending on [[https://i.imgur.com/WxH0CUO.jpg this triumphant shot of the protagonist,]] leaving much of the audience and ''especially'' the couch members [[{{Corpsing}} on the verge]] [[ContagiousLaughter of hysterics]]. Needless to say, [[https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/arabian_nights people are clamoring for a rerelease of the game]] on [[Website/GOGDotCom GOG]].

* The grand finale to the AGDQ 2015 ''VideoGames/SuperMetroid'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9yRpzVmBQI 100% speedrun race]]. The traditional "Save" vs. "Kill the Animals" donation incentives were neck and neck until [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9yRpzVmBQI&t=1h20m35s one final, whopping donation]] of ''$10,000'' was sent in from an anonymous donor. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9yRpzVmBQI&t=1h25m30s Their message?]]

* ''VideoGames/{{Vanquish}}'' One-handed Bromance% [[note]] The runner, halfcoordinated only uses one hand to play due to a disease so he said that he and Vulajin would hold hands if people donated in honor of the bromance between Sam and Burns[[/note]]

** Said cart was a copy of ''VideoGame/{{Drakkhen}}'', a replacement for Dragondarch's own copy that gave a [[EpicFail particular performance]] at [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIt8QIl86Us RPG Limit Break]], consequently breaking (in his own words): two [=TVs=], a controller, and then ''itself''.

They ended up killing the original run and had to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoUrS2aivAc redo the run the next day]] from where the original run failed at with another cartridge, only for Dragondarch to say before the run starts that he was using [=MetaSigma=]'s controller for the off-stream runback and the R-button ended up dying. By the time it was finished, they said that the [=TVs=] and maybe the SNES consoles the runs were done on were likely not long for the world.

* In the middle of PJ's ''{{Battletoads}}'' arcade run, [[https://youtu.be/Oqp8CfsVVtM?t=20m20s his attack button breaks]]. Any other runner would get nothing but sympathy for this. PJ? Mid-run disasters are such a constant for him that everyone -- coach crew, announcer, even donators -- just ''rides'' him for it. Relentlessly!

* During the ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI Kingdom Hearts I]].5 HD'' run, someone donates $50 if the announcer can explain the story in under 2 minutes. [[MotorMouth She does it]] [[https://clips.twitch.tv/FilthyTenaciousSheepBlargNaut in 1]], ending on:

-->'''Dragondarch:''' ''(in a TemptingFate tone)'' You have cursed the entire marathon. It is going to die.
** Said cart was a copy of ''VideoGame/{{Drakkhen}}'', a replacement for Dragondarch's own copy that gave a [[EpicFail particular performance]] at [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIt8QIl86Us RPG Limit Break]], consequently breaking (in his own words): two [=TVs=] (actually two SNES consoles), a controller, and then ''itself''. They had to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoUrS2aivAc redo the run the next day]] from where the original run failed at with another cartridge.

* During [[Videogame/JetSetRadio Jet Set Radio]] occasional references are made to glitches that can occur, including this gem:

* [=Bonesaw577=]'s epic fall into insanity during his VideoGame/JakAndDaxter run at SGDQ 2016. Between Bonesaw, [[LetsPlay/Pcull44444 Patty's]] commentary, mistakes, celebrity impersonations, random clapping, trolling, crashing the game, and the [[FunnyBackgroundEvent funny sign]] antics coming from the staff, it was "a great ab workout" according to the donation reader due to the sheer, occasionally inappropriate comedy.

* The VideoGame/{{Pepsiman}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C33Xo1hE9XE playthrough]] at SGDQ 2016, complete with a Pepsiman cosplayer on the couch. This run made Pepsiman trend on Twitter, temporarily made it the most viewed game on Twitch, and '''septupled''' the amount of Twitter followers Mike Butters (the man in the live-action cutscenes) had.
* This small bit from the VideoGame/KirbyAndTheAmazingMirror playthrough.

* During the [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI Kingdom Hearts I]].5 HD run, someone donates $50 if the announcer can explain the story in under 2 minutes. [[MotorMouth She does it]] [[https://clips.twitch.tv/FilthyTenaciousSheepBlargNaut in 1]], ending on:

* The folks running ''VideoGame/MineirinhoUltraAdventures'' came dressed for the occasion and one of them kept shouting each portuguese stage name in a GratuitousForeignLanguage accent.

* Near the end of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'', one of the couch commentators insists that the entire game is just ''a propaganda play made by the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom and the Kings of the other various Kingdoms (including '''Bowser''') to discredit the entire Koopa race.'' It gets even better; the reason the 'play' is preformed is so that the citizens of the Kingdoms don't make a stink about the ''economic inequality'' inherit in the Kingdoms where the royals live in big, fancy houses and the people literally live in mushrooms. Whenever the people start to get up in arms, the Princess is kidnapped to distract the populace from their unfair treatment.

** A mild RunningGag: While trudging through a basement 5 minutes in, Carcinogen points out that [[ArtisticLicenseGeography real houses in Louisiana don't have basements]]. Ten minutes later, a donator named "Louisiana Guy" comes in with $10 to relay that [[ShownTheirWork he's indeed correct]], then challenges him to give another Louisiana fact to donate another $5. Later, Carcinogen points out the centipedes in one scene appear to be [[MisplacedWildlife Japanese mukade]] rather than the redheaded centipedes native to the area. Ten minutes later, "Louisiana Guy" appears again to also confirm it, additionally adding that [[{{Squick}} they taste great in gumbo]].

* During the ''[[VideoGame/BionicCommando Bionic Commando Rearmed]]'' run, the player character just ''screams'' all throughout the run. Cue donations that consist of yelling [[CarefulWithThatAxeEugene "AAAAAAAAAAAAA"]]. The category was even renamed to [=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAny=]%! And that's not even counting the hilarious couch commentary or the crowd participation. And capping things off was this post-run remark from the GDQ host:
