History Funny / Jimquisition

* In "Dragon's Frown," Jim makes fun of the [[ComplainingAboutPeopleNotLikingTheShow overreaction]] people had to the [[HePannedItNowHeSucks single bad review of Dragon's Crown]], who said that the mediocre score [[DarthWiki/RuinedFOREVER ruined Dragon's Crown forever]]:

* At the end of "Welcoming a Digital Future", Jim is too absorbed in their UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita to round out the episode properly.

* "This just in, the UsefulNotes/WiiU has just obtained the most sought-after exclusive of this generation -- an ''VideoGame/AliensColonialMarines'' cancellation!"

** And that is not the only time they lick things. At the end of "Integrity, Journalism, and Free [=PS4s=]", they licks their "free" Sony-supplied UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything while making disturbing noises]] and ends the video with "Did I game journalism or not?".

* [[https://youtu.be/B05hXRDm03I In this episode,]] Jim decides to begin with an unboxing of the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch. When they open the box, however, they find a...

* Their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3fsZHN6Z9Q playthrough]] of ''ESC: From Planet'', which they dub as the absolute worst game to cost $35 - and it quickly shows that they do not exaggerate with that statement. They find themselves {{Corpsing}} multiple times from the sheer [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs absurdity of the environment]] and the [[ObviousBeta jaw-dropping bugs the game has]]. It culminates rather quickly into Jim entering what can only be described as ''[[LaughingMad a state of complete hysteria]]'' from a entirely unanimated snake continuously lurching forward and ramming into wooden boxes repeatedly. They struggle to even form coherent sentences even when they've calmed down enough to consider continuing, they're ''that'' HelplessWithLaughter.

---> '''Jim''': I could, right, get a McDonald’s, or I could eat BonBons that taste of literal sick and mucus? And we’re supposed to think this is charming and quaint? Well, it’s not!

* In "No Sex Please, We're Straight" video about the backlash against ''VideoGame/BaldursGate3'' having queer and sexual content, Stephanie takes a moment to wonder how a game where all the sexual content is completely optional is still too much sex for some people. They then turn it into a HumbleBrag session about how even the ''most'' sexual playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3 is still conservative compared to [[ThePornomancer their own love life]].

* The video on ''VideoGame/StreetFighter6'''s excellent Modern Control system has a joke about how Jim wants to be Ryu's long-term girlfriend, that starts getting [[OverlyLongGag far too detailed]] about their hypothetical relationship and includes hardships they've suffered like how he once lost his job, their parents getting pushy about kids, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick that time Shadaloo kidnapped them and turned them into an assassin and they tried to kill him]], which they apparently see as a funny couple joke now. The cherry on top is Jim apologizing to their subtitler for the long, off-script rant.

* The aliases that Jim comes up with to protect the identities of the reps that keep sending them sponsorship offers are a real hoot [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaisAWgY4WQ in their episode about their staunch refusal to accept any sponsorship proposals.]] The 9 different reps from the company BBTV who've been sending them emails are thus named, Brutus Inconspicuous, Wednesday Flavor, "Smooth" Rory Racetrack, The Howling, Jester's Choice, Ashford Mashford, HENK, Sweet Potato Chips and Doctor Clunge, the last of which is visualized by a surgeon who looks a little too enthusiastic about watching 2 dogs getting their freak on while a third dog looks disturbed by the whole situation.

The cherry on top is Jim apologizing to their subtitler for the long, off-script rant.

* At the end of "Diablo Immortal: Activision Blizzard's Latest Scam", Jim goes on a long TheReasonYouSuckSpeech about Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick. Their husband points out there's a non-zero chance Kotick will watch the video and [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbate to it]].

* A semi-RunningGag of an AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption, wherein there's a SmashCut to a British man standing in a meadow, declaring someone to be a "fuck-en prick!" in a deadpan voice.

* According to “[[https://youtu.be/uNKyQVsgKLg Hogwarts: A Legacy of Hate]]”, nobody has ever said that ‘’Franchise/HarryPotter’’ is bad or stupid, and so Jim decides to lay down every problem they have with the franchise (besides J.K. Rowling’s transphobia) in the intro. Namely, that the Wizarding World claims to be more high-class than the Muggle world, and yet...
---> ‘’’Jim’’’: We have phones! They use owls! ...Chuds.
---> ‘’’Jim’’’ (as Hagrid) What, noooo! We don’t ride cars in the Wizarding World! We fly about on flippedydoos!
---> ‘’’Jim’’’: I could, right, get a McDonald’s, or I could eat BonBons that taste of literal sick and mucus? And we’re supposed to think this is charming and quaint? Well, it’s not!

---> ‘’’Jim’’’: Bang! That’s your Voldemort problem taken care of! Bang! Bang! That’s the fuckin’ snake!
---> ‘’’Phoenix’’’: Two for the snake?
---> ‘’’Jim’’’: It’s long, innit?

** This "Jimsaw" saga persisted throughout October, with it finally coming together in the skits in the Halloween episode "The Golden Sins Of Horror Games." They trap someone they think is Philip Spengler in a death trap meant to drown him in Mountain Dew, with the key being located on the other side of a floor covered in Doritos. As it turns out, the whole thing was orchestrated by Cliff Bleszinski, who resented Jim for giving Gears of War 3 an 8 out of 10. As a result, Jim is trapped in Bleszinski's garage in a scene that would please any Saw fan.
** Cliffy B's EvilLaugh is also amazing.

* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUwzpEE9KsI "Exposure"]], whenever Jim discusses the deplorable actions of Paul Ryan and has to clarify that they're talking about the site owner, [[NamesTheSame not the politician]]. Better still, they often shows silly altered photos of the Representative whenever talking about Paul Ryan...[[RunningGag Not that one]].

* In the "Let's End the FPS Sausage-fest" episode, describing how men in modern shooters apparently reproduce like [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Orks]]. Also, Jim in drag.

** And in the next episode, "[[VideoGame/SimCity SimShitty,]]" they show footage from ''VideoGame/BeyondTwoSouls'' that was released after he finished editing the David Cage episode, which included a [[UncannyValley plastic-looking]] Willem Dafoe.

* In "Dragon's Frown," Jim makes fun of the [[ComplainingAboutPeopleNotLikingTheShow overreaction]] people had to the [[HePannedItNowHeSucks single bad review of Dragon's Crown]], who said that [[EightPointEight the mediocre score]] [[DarthWiki/RuinedFOREVER ruined Dragon's Crown forever]]:

* Their response to people who [[EightPointEight moan about "biased" reviews]] was that they should hire bananas as review editors.

--> '''JSS''': Check this out! If I add two vertical lines here, an oval over here, two more vertical lines, a curly point just here, [[spoiler:a circle, two triangles, smiley face and whiskers, [[Metaphorgotten I've drawn a little cat!]]]]

--> '''JSS''': What were they thinking when they birthed this fucking alien? It's yellow! It's massive! And what the hell is wrong with its neck? If that's a horse, I'm a goddamn polar bear!

** In the original video, Jim says they that [[TaughtByExperience they know this game well enough now]] to know that the developer will probably send them uninspired transphobic and fatphobic comments, "like clockwork". What Jim didn't anticipate was the developer taking offence to their pro-wrestling career of all things, leading to them calling him [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking transphobic, fatphobic, and wrestlephobic]].
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49nZmOAP12M The Last Of Us Part I Has The Worst Graphics Of All Time]]" is Jim taking another axe to people who make nitpicky complaints about graphics, using ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs: Part I'' as an example. They use such minor nitpicks as leaves not moving in water, mistaking a giraffe for a horse, and a single clipped texture to "prove" that ''The Last of Us'' "looks like shit" and isn't worth the money. After about ten minutes of this, Jim finally gives up the ghost and admits that they were in SarcasmMode the whole time. However, Jim notes that [[PoesLaw some examples they found of genuine attitudes like these were even more ludicrous]], such as "Puddlegate" from ''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4'' where some people complained that puddles were missing from later gameplay footage. As a parody of that, Jim unleashes their "smoking gun", complete with multiple overlays, visual effects, and ''James Bond''-like visuals, only to build up to [[AntiClimax a single clipping texture]], all while talking like they're making a grand revelation. The sarcasm never lets up for even a moment, and it's hilarious.

All in all, Jim takes these people to task for finding things to complain about, intentionally trying to make something out of nothing as a result, never coming to terms with the fact that the public at large reacts with apathy.
-->'''JSS:''' I've talked many times about how this is an industry that pushed graphics so hard -- that made such a big deal over visuals more than anything else when it came to pushing hardware, when it came to telling us why game systems were better than the competition, when it came to hyping up new game releases -- to the point that studios would lie, would doctor screenshots, would run gameplay footage on hardware that was superior to the hardware it was being sold on. It's small wonder that we have now this breed of nerd that is so obsessed with visual effects, and graphical power, that they are freeze framing movies, to point at it and say "Look how shit this looks", while everyone else just shrugs, and wonders what the goddamn problem is.
