Funny / The Online Warrior

• Anything funny in Assist Me! Series are here.
• HYPE AND RAGE COMPILATION!
• During the party at which Max and his friends played live offline games of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 after its release Max's dog starts licking one of the guests in the ear. It's as hilarious as it is cute, especially one of the guests calling Max's dog a whore and Max frequently telling it to get down onto the floor.
• The entire video of Doom and Wesker watching the Resident Evil 6 trailer. Especially the end, when Doom sees the logo...
  Doom: Huh, looks like a giraffe getting blown by a manatee.
  Wesker: Oh goddammit! Now I'll never be able to unsee that!
  • What, no mention of Wesker's Flat "What" when he sees his kid?
• ANY outtakes scene from the Assist Me! videos. Especially Doom when every time he screws up, he'll say some random lines.
• Doom vs Star Wars. Watching Doom dance and cause chaos as the Rancor while dropping numerous F-Bombs will leave you dying of laughter.
• During the Let's Plays of Resident Evil 6, numerous references are given, ranging from the Paranormal Activity movies to The Big Lebowski, and many more jokes ahead.
• The match where Jigglypuff was play during Yo Videogames : Super Smash Bros Brawl
• The Street Fighter X Mega Man tips and secrets video is hilarious throughout. There's at least one hilarious line for every character shown.
  "Turns out Chun-Li doesn't like the Megabuster. Gotta shoot her in da face wit' da Megs!"
  "After that you take Chun's Thighs^note The item get screen is edited to say "Chun's thighs" instead of "Lightning Kick" over to Viper's childbearing hips. And in the epic batle of hips vs thighs, thighs will always win."
  "Looks like Cyclops vs Dhalsim is a 9:1 matchup!"
  "Wait, Watermelons? WTF?"
  "Now it's time to play Mega Man Fruit Ninja Soccer with Rose, and take rose's ninja mimic Ouroboros orb (Hey guys I'm Strider lol) over to Rolento"
  "Rolento gives you some grenades, ~just 'cause he's a cool guy~"
  "Then you quickly learn that explosive shrapnel is an effective weapon against the very nude."
  Urien: "AAAAAAH! I AM THE MOST NUDE! "
  Ryu: "What the hell you dirty cheap turtle motherfu-"
  "Balrog mercilesssly chases you through the Casino stage, which you counter with the legendary tactic of HOLDING RIGHT."
  Vega: "Rrrrrrrrrrockman! You are beautiful like a rose petal- OHSHI-"
  "Turns out M. Bison's not a big fan of the ADOUKET."
  Bison: "The day Bison just started your game was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday! "
  Bison: "AH SHIT WHY WAS IT VEGA THE LAST BOSS!!! "
  "And that'll just about do it, juu have defeated the video game. CONGRADULAMATATIONS. "
  "Wait Ryu? R-R-Ryeu? Ruuu?!
  "Holy fuck! Oh my blue bomber god?! That son of a bitch got vaporized! No it can't be? There's no way! Is it the demon from Hell? The respawn of Satan?! Oh, it's just Akuma. Hey buddy."
• Every time Donkey Kong Country trolls Max during his and Simmons's Let's Play, every time Max starts "Jackie Chan'ing" and manages to avoid several obstacles through blind luck, which doubles as a Moment of Awesome, and especially their conversations regarding "Bananas and Sex."
  • And Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest being even harder than 1 offers quite amusing moments and a nice dosage of rage from Max, one of the moments being this one. And in the last boss there is this.
• During any Let's Play where Simmons is the one playing, i.e. Mega Man X, and Mega Man (Classic) (1, and as of recently 2). His reactions to whenever he loses or fucks up in any of the games he's playing is hysterical. You can view some of his reactions here, here, here, and here. Kinda makes you wish they had a rage cam, doesn't it?
  • The Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures playthrough in Yo Videogames is filled of funny moments with the game constant trolling.
• The entire Dreamcast play through of Virtual Tennis. Namely Simmons's ranting on the game.
• BOSS RAGE! Feat. Eyedol (Classic Killer Instinct)
  Max: Oh my God, I press ONE button and he goes FUCKING BALLISTIC on me!
• In his BOSS RAGE against ARIA (Killer Instinct 2013 Season 2), he discovers a cheap combo that allows him to fake out the "Ultimate (Kyle)" difficulty (which learns your attacks) and get in some emergency damage. But eventually the AI learns what he's doing and totally takes the piss out of Max's newfound enthusiasm.
  Max: ...you're wrecking your own house! Why are you wrecking your own shit?!
• Hugo Breaks Street Fighter: BOSS RAGE Outtake. Hugo does something unexpected for Max. That's all.
• Nintendo Direct Parody. Seriously the ENTIRE Parody of this promo.
• BOSS RAGE! Featuring GOD RUGAL & SHIN AKUMA (Capcom Vs. SNK 2). The entire video is full of hilarious moments. In chronological order:
  "Four syndicate bosses have gone mysteriously missing after the latest Mark of the Millennium tournament. Undoubtedly, this could be in relation to the recent actions of one M. Bison, who was found scissor kicking his opponent Dan Hibiki to his death. (Tragic.)" - introductory sequence which casts Max as "Nick Kroger", a news reporter for the fictional news channel of CVS2, 'News Combo 7'
  "The hell outta here. I play 3rd Strike!" - to Ryo, playing with the P-Groove (which specifically imitates Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike's playstyle, down to parrying)
  "Shoryureppa, you blonde bastard! Oh wait, that's totally me." - to Rock, after beating him with Ken (and remember: Max is partially blonde in real life!)
  "So we've got a dude from GQ, random boy... lookin for his dad, and Sakura, roaming the streets, just beating up assholes." - Iori, Rock, and Sakura (obviously) in that order.
  "Geeeeese! Geeeeeeeeeeese!! GEESE!!! I gotta kill this guy with a super...and how appropriate is it that Rock is at the very end; Rock, you gotta kill your daddy! Let's go!" - upon getting to the special sub-boss battle^note either Geese or M. Bison, picked totally at random against Geese Howard
  "Let's go! Let's play some Street Fighter, come on!" - a match starts between Akuma and Sagat, both of which instantly spam their respective projectiles nine times while he says this
  "..such events are common in bursts of extreme anger or rage, mostly caused by viewing Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. ... Be careful, kids. Winners don't watch that movie." - as Nick Kroger describing the Satsui no Hadou after Shin Akuma's defeat
  "There is no hope! Only Zuul!" - before ragequit #17
  "OH SHIT!" Seeing Dan Hibiki kick his ass, prompting ragequit #19
  "I don't think we have enough points for any of the crazy shit, but at least we got close. We got somewhere." - cue God Rugal bothering to finally appear.
  "There is always hope, and hope has lead us to the most evil motherfucker in the game! Let's rock!" - during God Rugal's intro screen
  "We just need hope! We need to believe!" "We need more than hope, Benny! We need a hero!" - Benny (we remind you, a dog) and Nick as 'I Need a Hero' proceeds to start playing in the background
  • And from the God Rugal battle alone:
  "Holy fuck, he chucked Akuma's body!" - in reference to God Rugal's start-of-match animation
  "Yes! Ultimate hype battle, let's go!" - after losing to God Rugal repeatedly, this is directly before he starts a losing match to God Rugal as a lone Shin Akuma
  * Ken killed, with only remaining character Rock* "Alright, Ken, you did it! You set us up for the super! All we gotta do is hit the super now!" *promptly misses super, then loses match by chip out just before God Rugal runs out of health*
  "OHHHH MYYYY GOOOOOOOOD, WE DID IT! Game over! That's it!" - after finally winning with solo Rock, after 38 attempts
• Max reacts to the Nash/Charlie reveal for Street Fighter V. Essentially, the moment he realizes what day it is.
• The Hidden Character Intros for Mortal Kombat X between Scorpion and Sub-Zero. All of it. Some of the notable mention:
  Sub-Zero: You teleporting whore!
  Scorpion: Frozen BITCH!
  Sub-Zero: I'll bring you down a tier!

  Scorpion: Do you sell ice-cream?
  Sub-Zero: No only death!
  Scorpion: I WANTED ICE-CREAM!!

  Scorpion: Everyone skips these anyways.
  Sub-Zero: I love you!
  Scorpion: I know!!
• "I'm GONNA DIE, the flower girl."
• Four words: "We Can Smile Again."

• Just as Kenny hits the jackpot on the roulette in Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, he gets up and yells "TWENTY-ONE! I WON! SUCK MAH DICK!"
  • Now has a sequel, provided by Max himself in Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball 3.
  Max: TWENTY-THREE! TWENTY-THREE! SUCK MY DICK! SUCK MY DICK!
• During the Bayonetta 2 walkthrough, the guys decide to try Bayonetta's Princess Daisy costume. Cue a rousing chorus of "BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY ROCKIN' EVERYWHERE!" until Bayonetta breaks a few pots, causing an awestruck Simmons to proclaim...
  Simmons: They're coins!
• When Kenny and Simmons start playing Ghosts 'n Goblins as part of the NES Classics Stream, Simmons asks why Arthur was naked in the opening cutscene, causing Kenny to blurt out "What, you never wanted to fuck in a graveyard before?!" A few minutes later, Steve and Max walk back in cracking up, explaining that they were just in the other room where Jessica was watching the stream...with Kenny's daughters, meaning they heard everything Kenny said. Apparently Jessica's reaction was a Face Palm.
• Who walks through a portal in time and goes, "Hey, you, wanna fight?" While the Asura's Wrath fight against Ryu—>Evil Ryu and Akuma—>Oni is highly awesome, there are plenty of funny parts to go around, such as Ryu walking through a portal in time and picking a fight with Asura.
  • And when Akuma makes his entrance...
    (Akuma launches Ryu across the moon)
    Max: ...yeah, that's usually how that matchup goes.
    (Ryu bowls Asura over, then Akuma leaps at him with his Demon Armageddon Ultra Combo, launching Ryu off into the abyss)
    Max: Bye, Ryu! We'll see you in Street Fighter V!
• While playing M.U.G.E.N, they come across (admittedly very well done) fighting game sprites for all sorts of characters, including those not from fighting games, in a large roster. In particular, they start a tag-team mode against Cloud and Squall. And, oh boy, does everybody go into distress when trying to beat these two "kids", as they call them. Even God Rugal and God Gouki aren't enough... And that's not including when Rugal gets ejected completely from the fight in a bizarre glitch.
  • Everyone is elated to find out that Leonardo and Raphael have, as their supers, the throw-them-into-the-screen throws from Turtles in Time.
    • 4 vs. 4 in M.U.G.E.N? GET READY!
• NFL Blitz is god-like.
  • Their reactions when someone donated $10,000. Steve is gone, Simmons is Laughing Mad, Kenny sits there in Stunned Silence, and Max scrambles to make sure that it's real.
• The Tekken 7 Boss Rage, which features "Devil Kenny" (complete with voice editing!) and Simmons cosplaying Lucky Chloe.
  (enter Devil Kenny)
  Steve: ...wow. That just...that just happened.
  Devil Kenny: [now sporting a Voice of the Legion] What is the purpose? Why are you even doing this? Just give up!
  Max: [gawks]
  Devil Kenny: There's no point to this! What, is this for your ego?
  Steve: [also gawks]
  Devil Kenny: Fuck Tekken, man! Like, "ohhh we're gonna beat the hardest—" really? Eddy's a backup dancer. Why? (Max moves out of frame) There's people watching this?! What?! (Steve puts some distance in between him and Devil Kenny) Where are you going? (Max peers back into frame) What are you looking at?! I'm probably gonna be in Yo! Video Games! for another year, and just end up being a backup dancer!
  (After another defeat, the AI taunts him)
  Devil Kenny: Look at that! He taunted you! Wow! The computer disrespected you! Like I've been disrespected!
  (Cut to later in the stream, with Kenny having departed)
  Max: What happened to Kenny?
  Steve: How—what is it?
  Max: He didn't go full Devil yet, did he?
  Steve: I saw some wings, I—
  Max: He didn't get the Devil Gene, did he? Because if the Devil Gene comes out in Kenny, it's a fucking problem.
  Steve: That's true; that's true.
  Max: Somebody let Harada know that as long as Lucky Chloe does not actually ha—
  (Simmons jumps into frame wearing a pink tutu, cat paw gloves, and a cat ear headphones. He imitates Lucky Chloe's intro while Max and Steve just stare ahead in shock)
  Devil Kenny: WHAT?! WHAT IS THIS?! YOU'RE A FUCKING TROLL! WHAT THE FUCK, SIMMONS?! YOU'RE ALWAYS SUCH A HATER! YOU— (grabs a box and thrashes Simmons with it) YOU'RE A PIECE OF SHIT! (Simmons drops) Mocking me... LUCKY CHLOE IS TRASH!
  (Cut to Kenny, now with horns, staring a hole through Max and Steve)
  Max: Uh... Kenny's become the devil...
  Steve: He's staring right at us! The horns are serious...
  • Max stupidly eats a 5-Count Nightmare from a Jack-4, causing Max and Steve to get up and run out of the room in disgust. A moment later, Simmons walks in and looks around the empty room, raising his hands in a "Where'd everyone go?" manner.
  • During a Jobber fight, Max tells Steve (playing as Alisa) "Just throw them; they don't tech^note (escape with no damage) throws."
  (The gun wielding jobber does exactly that, throwing Alisa's arms to the floor)
  Max: Never mind. Fuck everything. He took your arms—
  Steve: MAX IS A LIAR AND A CHEATER!
  (Steve is gunned down and defeated)
• Max's reaction to Street Fighter EX Plus having no endings and just saying "Game Over" after he beats it in Street Fighter Legacy:
  Max: Game Over?! What the fuck? What the fuck is that?! What the fuck is this?! Game Over?! Are you fucking serious?! Are you serious?! That's all we get?! That's all we get?! That's fucking horseshit! It went to nothing! What the fuck?! (presses start) OH MY GOD! Come on! Are you serious?! I worked so fucking hard!
• In his Street Fighter EX 2 playthrough, Max gets to Bison. When Bison somehow goes over the bomb:
  Max: WHAT?! Did you just not give a shit?!
• The doods' freakout over a cockroach has to be seen to be believed. From Steve wanting to get back at it for "making [him] look like a bitch" to Simmons contemplating crushing it with an arcade stick.
  Max: [while everyone else screams as it runs off] GET AWAY FROM MY COMPUTER, FUCK-FACE!
• Max's anime transformation
• Any time he becomes an Edge Lord when playing Dark Souls 3, especially when a text-to-speech program was singing "Bring Me to Life".
• The doods watching that episode of Oprah when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were on, promoting their "Coming Out of Their Shells" tour.
  Raphael: [to a kid in the audience] Splinter's like our dad, you know? I mean what's so special about your dad?
  Steve: [as everyone else laughs] OH, NO!
  Kenny: [through the laughter] Fucking REKT! "YOUR DAD FUCKING SUCKS!"
  Max: He should've chucked that sword at 'em! Fucking murdered 'em!
• When playing Mario Party, Kenny wins and is absolutely completely unsubtle about his celebration. Max, knowing what's coming, cues up Snoop Dogg's track for Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
  Kenny: YEAAAAAAHHHHH! TWENTY...OOOOONNNEEE! LET'S GOOOOOO! PLAY THE MUSIC! PLAY IT! LET'S GO!
• Death. By. Soda. The doods do a blind taste test for various types of strange soda flavors, complete with the "Bowl of Shame" (undrank portions get mixed together and whoever loses a challenge later on has to drink it all). Then, they get to the end...
  Max: 3, 2, 1, believe!
  (They all drink. Immediately after taking a very small sip, Max starts convulsing and clutching his chest while Jessica laughs hysterically)
  Caption: I am in physical pain right now.
  Kenny: AAAAAAAH! IT'S TOP RAMEN!
  Simmons: [waving his hand and holding onto Max's chair] OHHHHHHHHhHHHHHHhHHHhHHHH! Oh my god!
  Steve: [bent over completely horizontal, laughing, with Benny in his lap]
  Kenny: That's top ramen!
  Simmons: What the fuck was that?!
  Steve: [puts Benny down on the floor, walks out] I'm done. I'm done. I'm out!
  Jessica: [still laughing]
  Simmons: What in the Sam Fuck did you put in that?!
  Jessica: [off-camera] Nobody can guess it?
  Simmons: You better not have put alcohol in that, or I am fucking sending you my bill!
  Jessica: [off-camera, through laughter] No, there is not...
  Simmons: What in the Sam Fuck?!
  Kenny: [convulses] Ah!
  Max: I didn't finish it yet...
  Kenny: It's top ramen. Wow! You took a tiny sip!
  Max: What the hell was it?! I-I jus-I just got done taking that sip; like, I just woke up. I don't know what the fuck just happened to the last thirty seconds.
  Simmons: Oh my sweet Christ!
  • The last flavor? Teriyaki Beef Jerky soda.
    • And even worse...They find out that there's actual strands of teriyaki beef jerky floating around inside the soda. The doods are horrified.
• They use the Dreamcast's internet browser to search for Blue Waffle, as Max as never heard of it. Steve and Kenny have, though. Unfortunately, the Dreamcast has its own weird filters for content, because...
  Max: I hope this doesn't work...
  Kenny: [laughing] "I hope this doesn't work!"
  Steve: This is what we need...ohh! Okay, now go all the way down...
  Max: I found some shit...
  (Beat, then...)
  Max, Steve, and Kenny: [screaming in abject horror, convulsing and flailing around]
  Steve: [having stormed around the room] THAT WASN'T EVEN BLUE WAFFLE!
  Kenny: [something between laughing and wailing]
  Steve: THAT WASN'T EVEN BLUE WAFFLE!
  Max and Kenny: [screaming]
  Steve: THAT'S NOT EVEN BLUE WAFFLE! I DON'T UNDERSTAND!
  Kenny: [still screaming]
  Max: Dude!
  Steve: WHAT THE FUCK?!
  Max: I just saw some motherfucker's Bloodborne dick! Oh my god!
  • Simmons comes in late, and missed The Reveal in all its horror. When they bring it back up for him...Simmons isn't even fazed.
• Max's reaction to Laura's stance in Blanka's story in Street Fighter V.
  Max: Oh my God! Oh Jesus! I looked at Laura...like I wasn't looking directly at the screen and I was looking away and then I looked and I saw her...and I saw some, like, crazy fucking creature from The Thing. All I saw was like a head with legs. Looked like some shit out of Silent Hill. Oh my fuck, dude. Scared the shit out of me. We gotta kill her. Scared the shit out of me.
  • Before that, there was Max playing through Sakura's story mode. Specifically, when Sakura laments to Ryu what her life is becoming, how she can't stop the march of time, and that she "should" be doing "normal" things like settling down and starting a family. Only to very very quickly clarify that she's not trying to have any kids now.
    Max: You want Ryu's fuck-baby?! Oh my god, you're thirsty as fuck, girl!
• Sometimes, its' the small things that convince Max to play a certain character. For example, Max gave BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle a second pass purely because he found a character color pallette that he liked. Specifically, Gordeau's 13th color scheme, a.k.a. the Gambit scheme.
• Max and Kenny completely losing their minds because Mortal Kombat did not appear at E3 as expected.
• Following the full reveal of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, there was a lot of internet debate going on about whether the latest entry qualified as a new game or a port of the Wii U version. Max decided to fan the flames a bit by arguing for both sides of the debate, to some rather hilarious results.
• His reaction to the Terry trailer for SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy. Why is Terry in a game with an all-female roster? Simple: Terry has been subjected to Gender Bender. But instead of the usual in-depth analysis of her playstyle and fighting abilities, Max's reaction is just sitting there, staring into the camera, wearing a Fatal Fury hat and makeup. All he says is a simple "... cool."
• Scrolling through some fan-created characters in Soulcalibur VI's character creator, they come across a number of funny results. These include Gambit, Q-Bee, Spinal, a neon plaid-textured gladiator named Aestheticus, and finally Max. The real Max promptly screams and leaves the room.
  Simmons: [waving his arms at the screen] Get outta the TV! Get outta the TV, Max!
  • Kenny proceeds to attach the character to Voldo and claim that it's what Max looks like when he wins at Mario Party.
• Call of Duty: Black Ops 4:
  • The gang usually plays Blackout mode. If two of them die in the beginning of the game, the remaining two usually leave the game so they can start a new one quick. Instead of simply leaving the game, they usually try to come up with goofy or violent ways to commit suicide, leading to conversations such as these^note from the 11/11/2018 stream:
    Max: We're going to blow each other up, Steven. I have a Molotov, so, eh, we can die by fire. It's very peaceful I hear.
    Steve: [sighs] Ah, lame..
    Kenny: Purifying.
    Max: We can die by drowning or fire. I hear it's like going home.
    Simmons: [laughs in the background]
    (Steve arrives, Max throws the Molotov at their feet)
    Max: [as the fire consumes both of them] I love you, Steve. Steve... I love you...
  • Some of the series' mid-2019 episodes featured Guest-Star Party Member criz416, who fit right into the rest of the crew with the amount of sheer hype he brought to their Blackout matches. Among other things, he saved Max from dying by whacking his assailants with a sledgehammer (the title lampshades this by calling him Shao Criz), and the video afterwards featured criz416 outright turning into a Screaming Warrior while torching a squad with a flamethrower.
    (criz jumps over Max, followed by a loud "thwack")
    criz416: LEZZGO!! LEZZGO!!
    Steve: Ohhhhh my god, he did not just fuckin' do that! [...] Did you guys just see that!? criz just made the ultimate bop! He murdered everybody with a fucking hammer side-by-side!
    (in the next episode, criz flanks an enemy team with the flamethrower)
    criz416: BURN!! IT'S A BARBEQUE, BITCHES!!
    Steve: Wow... that was glorious.
    Max: Team wipe, good shit! I got a wonderful shot of criz lighting them on fire.
    Steve: That was a, uh... very testosterone-induced burn.
    criz416: I actually owe an apology to the entire chat. The proper language I should've been using was: "BURN TO THE GROUND!! BURN! BURN! BURN!"
• Max, Kenny and Steve's dumbfounded reaction to Cassandra's Critical Finisher from Soulcailbur IV.
• Boss Rage: WOMAN! A stream highlight involving Jessica absolutely destroying the Doods at Puyo Puyo Tetris, and the despair and disbelief that ensues.
• For 2018's April Fools joke, Maximilian decides to do a BASS RAGE, hunting for the Liege of the Lake in Final Fantasy XV. He takes it about as seriously as any other Boss Rage episode, including getting mad at "losing" a very close "match" with the Liege of the Lake having a mere two out of 2,000 HP left.
  Max: [after a Blank Stare] FUUUUUCK! GODDAMNIT! OHHHHHH!
  (Jessica is laughing in the background)
  Max: Gladio, just fuckin' jump in the water! GET YOUR GODDAMN BOOTS WET! FUCK!! Come on! Screamin' at me!? He's right— he's six feet in front of us, dude! JUMP! IN!
• Max happens upon Skarlet's un-masked custom option in Mortal Kombat 11, which Kenny had been trying for weeks to obtain. Then, as payback for lording a rare hat over him in Monster Hunter: World, he invites Kenny into a match to passive-aggressively show it off.
  (The match starts; Max's Skarlet does her intro, followed by Kenny's)
  Max!Skarlet: I have no twin. Who are you?
  Kenny!Skarlet: It's a secret I cannot share.
  Max!Skarlet: I will drain it from you.
  Max: She looks really cool, right?
  Announcer: Round 1. FIGHT!
  (Kenny!Skarlet immediately explodes in a cloud of blood)
  Announcer: QUITALITY.
  • Even better, the YouTube release on Max's channel cuts back and forth between Max's and Kenny's streams, which are going on at the same time. The latter of which has no video because of Kenny's... response, but the two reactions are quite different.
  Max: I guess I win EVO.
  Kenny: [distantly while smashing things] Stupid Max, you (unintelligible) idiot! I spent millions of dollars, trying to get this goddamn thing- and Max rubs it in my face!
  Max: That was my first "Quitality". That was a good set! That was probably the best set I've had in Mortal Kombat yet. I won through character customization.
  Kenny: [still smashing things] You won't be laughing when I go join Matt McMuscles, and I become CANADIAN!
  • And just to cap it all off, the top comment on the YouTube video is:
  Kenny: Are the Game Grumps hiring?
• One of the first things Max tries to do after moving to a new house mid-2019 is attempt to beat the "Pursue the Mysterious Mech!" event in Street Fighter V. Said mysterious "mech" is Shadow Lady, complete with all the mechanics of her home game such as air dashing, her V-Reversal being a pushblock, ridiculous projectiles, long combos, and supers that cost only two bars and are usable in midair. After getting over his initial hype on the walking Internal Homage, Max gets increasingly frustrated that Shadow Lady is basically playing a completely different game than he is, at least up until he figures out that Shadow Lady doesn't jump Hadoukens at long range. Not that that matters much, as he found out the hard way that he didn't fulfill the objective of "KO your opponent!". Hilariously, the very next round is where he goes completely apeshit and, in the process, accidentally finds another A.I. Breaker in intentionally whiffing light Shoryukens in front of her. The whole episode is basically a Boss Rage in all but name.
  Max: NOOOOO! Oh, I am pissed! Oh, I am pissed! All that did was WASTE TIME!? AHHHHHHH!! RANDOM TATSU!!
  (after defeating Shadow Lady)
  Max: [through his teeth] LET'S FUCKING GO! LET'S FUCKING GO! LET'S FUCKING GO! GODDAMN STRAIGHT! KICK THIS CHICK IN THE FACE! Alright. Yep. As structured, as coordinated, and as planned. It was the previous round! She thought I was gonna go for zoning that time! All I did was put on THE GLASSES.
• "Almost Died Laughing: Terminator" has Max in a Terminator Mirror Match in Mortal Kombat 11, where both players have the Immune to Flinching buff, and multiple times throughout their session, the match ends up turning into a goofy-looking Pummel Duel while both players are buffed. Max compares the spectacle to two drunk dads fighting each other at a Little League game at one point.
• His live reaction to Seth's reveal for Street Fighter V contains one of the most immediate cases of Tempting Fate ever. He's immediately hesitant when he realizes that they're announcing Seth, the instant after he says "He looks the same!", Seth is revealed in his new female body and sporting drastically reworked kit, suddenly putting Max at a loss for words.
• "Decade in Review" series:
  • The 2012 episode has Max briefly cover a little-known Star Wars Kinect commercial that Microsoft had Max create. All it is is Simmons in his Doctor Doom costume playing the dancing minigame with his costume getting more and more disheveled as the video goes on (or, as Max puts it, "His costume is disintegrating!"). Microsoft didn't like the commercial and ended up not using it.
  • In the 2016 episode, Max talks about a time when Microsoft contracted Max to make a short advertisement for the then-unreleased General RAAM character DLC for Killer Instinct. When he goes to actually show the finished product, he gets interrupted by a swimsuit ad and pretends to end his stream early in reaction.
• Max witnesses E. Hnda's kappa-themed DLC costume.
  Max: Wha-- What is that? (Beat) I feel offended.
  Max: (after round 1) Okay. What the fuck is that? I've missed a lot in this game, okay?
• Max's reaction to the January 2020 Smash Direct starts off with some optimism for Dante's possible reveal, especially after playing Dirge of Cerberus for 8 straight hours. However, once the reveal was actually for Byleth, Max pretty much watches the reveal trailer mostly in Stunned Silence, barely able to comprehend that yet another Fire Emblem character made it into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
• While streaming the announcement for the EVO 2020 lineup and sharing his predictions, Max semi-jokingly predicts the 20-year-old Marvel vs. Capcom 2 as being one of the main tournament games, and bets 100 gift subscriptions if he's correct. His gloriously elated expression when it's announced last in an anniversary tournament is a sight to behold.
  Max: WHAT!? WHAT!? WHAT!? Do I owe people a hundred fucking gift subs!?
• After revealing that he and Jessica are going to have a baby, the chat began trying to guess what the their name will be. The most common names brought up were Ken, Rock, Cloud and Tifa.
  Max: (reading the chat) Rollback NetCode Christiansen?!
  Jessica: (barely avoids a Spit Take) Stop being a—
  Max: WOW.
  Jessica: Isn't that fun, though?
  Max: Chat's connecting with me on a metaphysical level!

He then asks Jessica if it's at all possible to name their kid 60 FPS if they bribe the right people.

• Another suggestion was "Maximilian Victor Christiansen the Second", or "MVC2" for short^note Note that Max's actual middle name is Miles, hence his Youtube channel being Miles932. Max actually considers it for a second before Jessica tells him to cut it out.
  • And then Max accidentally spoils the reveal after all
    Max: What gender am I thinking of? Good idea! (puts his hand on Jessica gravid belly) Aw...is she doing okay? (pause) You doing okay?
    (Max stares at Jessica for a long moment before starting to giggle)
    Jessica: I hate you so much—(breaks down laughing) I hate you so much!
    Max: (through laughter) She just kicked!

• On July 2020, Max decided to do a Dan Hibiki Legacy simply to celebrate the character and his history. Unfortunately, it got off to a rocky start as Max suffers multiple misfortunes trying to get a copy of Street Fighter Alpha with a training mode available up and running. It ultimately took a little over an hour and a half for him to run the game, only to spend several minutes trying to select Dan to play. A hilariously edited video of the whole ordeal was later posted on his channel.
• In August 2020, during the Street Fighter V Summer Update, he noted that if Capcom put a Rival Schools character in the game, it shows that they care. Then it's revealed in a similar vein to his Marvel vs Capcom 2 guess that, yes, a Rival Schools character is appearing: Akira Kazama!
  • The first new character they announced coming to Street Fighter V was Dan Hibiki. Max is completely dumbfounded and spends a minute or two swearing that he didn't know.
    Max: Are you kidding me!? Did I literally will this bitch into existence!? Oh my God!
• While playing Among Us with Yo Videogames! and subs, Max would distrust everyone around him and throw accusations wildly. This behavior leads everyone to dub Max "The Third Imposter" since he ends up getting more innocent crewmates killed than he does imposters.
• While Max was watching SEGA's presentation at TGS 2020, SEGA announces that they're launching a project to commemorate their 60th anniversary. As the video starts, Max sarcastically guesses that they're about to reveal a new Virtua Fighter game. Seconds later, the video plays the Virtua Fighter coin insert sound effect, causing Max to lose his mind at the prospect of a new Virtua Fighter game.
  Max: No fucking way! You have to be fucking with me! Shut the fu- You don't do this to people, SEGA. You do not fucking do this to people. You don't- you don't fuck with people like this. (Max gasps as the video shows a shot of Akira Yuki from the back) Oh my god! Holy shit!
  • Max then gets frustrated when the presenters refuse to give any more information about the game, which he takes out on a giant plush toy by punching it several times before throwing it away.
• Max's reaction to Minecraft's Steve getting into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is him hilariously struggling on voicing his immense disappointment as politely as possible.
• His Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition playthrough is prefaced with an explanation of why he never played Vergil in 3:SE and 4:SE: he believes Vergil single-handedly ruined Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and he's still salty about it. Ironically, he warmed up to Vergil by the end of his first stream of Vergil's campaign. The comment pinned by Max sums it up best:
  Max has become the thing he sought to destroy. A Vergil main.
• His reaction to the Game Awards 2020 reveal of Sephiroth getting into Smash is him flipping out in childish glee.
  ["One-Winged Angel" starts playing]
  Simmons: No way, it's Sephiroth!
  Max: FUCK YOU! NO FUCKING WAY! WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!? [flailing hands] WHADAFUGIZHAPPENING WHAAAFU—
  • Just seconds before the reveal, Simmons sings "Backstreets back, all right!" and Max then jokingly replies with "N*SYNC in Smash!" Indirectly and hilariously enough, this also called Sephiroth, as Lance Bass was also the first ever voice actor for Sephiroth.
  • Right as Max jumps out of his seat in joy, it's revealed that he's coincidentally wearing a T-shirt bearing Shinra's logo. Steve and Kenny repeatedly try to lampshade this, but Max's screaming drowns them out.
• Max expresses his disappointment at how mechanically and visually bland Ky's new Dragon Install Super Mode in Guilty Gear -STRIVE- looks, comparing it to Sol's Dragon Install, which he thinks has a more badass presentation.
  Max: ...and then we have fucking Sol, and this bitch is like "RATED R!!! EVERYTHING'S ON FIRE! I'M GOING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN! NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!"
• Max revisits "RATE THE COSTUMES" for Street Fighter V, going over the costumes he's missed out on since the last time he made an episode for the game.
  • When he gets to Juri's swimsuit costume, he has some choice words to say about it:
    Max: Damn, this is some lewd shit. This is some thirsty, omegalewd stuff, and the, uh— I think the people that are into this are severely... uh, affected. In many ways. And affected in a completely negative way that makes everyone around you feel uncomfortable and weird. Seriously, I don't know how this got into the game, or how it's infested it's way into Street Fighter V, but I think it's absolutely pathetic.
    [Beat]
    Max: Nine outta ten!
  • When he gets to Falke's Professional costume (read: Goth costume):
    Max: Okay, so Kenny's Internet search history.
  • His reaction to Blanka's Holiday costume is simply gritting his teeth while repeatedly looking away from the screen. After a long silence, he begrudgingly gives the costume a six out of ten.
  • He revisits the aforementioned E. Honda kappa Halloween costume, and he still thinks it's very bizarre:
    Max: They made him a kappa? Are you serious? This weirds me out, but also is very appropriate. Right? It's creepy, it's weird, it would never make me play the character, I don't like it, and it's disturbing. [Beat] Ten out of ten. Actually ten out of ten, 'cause he's the original turtle character. He's the original turtle.
  • Before Dan's Story costume even showed up on the screen, Max is already going "Holy sweet mother of god." His summation of the costume puts it best:
    Max: He looks like a fucking Twinkie. He looks like a cursed Twinkie.
• When Kazuya Mishima was revealed for Smash, many expected Max to go gonzo like he did for Cloud and Sephiroth. What actually happened was Max mixed up not only Kazuya for Heihachi, but also the game he's supposed to be guest-starring in for his home series.
• In the leadup to Goldlewis Dickinson's reveal for Guilty Gear -STRIVE- Max constantly called him "Goldick Lewison". He's shocked when the chat tells him he's got it backwards but decides to stick with it anyway since he likes Goldick better.
• Max's training mode session with Happy Chaos in Guilty Gear -STRIVE- showcases what happens to Max when even he himself thinks he doesn't have the dexterity required for a technical character - trying to make a song out of a difficult combo, swearing that his hands are going to fall off, inelegant blubbering and just generally screaming.
• Right from the beginning of the Ranger's trailer in DNF Duel, he's already hype for him just for looking and sounding like Dante. What cinches the deal for him is when he watches the trailer again in slow motion and notices Death Hawk juggling the Inquisitor, which gets him flipping out in disbelief and looking up the Neo Ranger trailer on DFO's official website to see if Death Hawk actually exists in the original game. Come the actual beta, the first time he's able to pull off a Death Hawk is met by an excited and slightly confused "Wow! My guns are over here now!" from Max.
• The Kung-Fu for Kinect Hype & Rage video where the gang was messing around with the game's concept. Everything was fine... until Simmons accidentally kicked over Kenny's drink on the floor, causing the video to stop being about the game for three minutes and causing a chain reaction of chaos as they tried to clean up the spillage.
  • The argument between Kenny and Steve regarding where they put their drinks.
    Steve: Everybody puts their cups on top of something! You put it on the floor!
    Kenny: You put it on top of an arcade cabinet!
    Steve: I put my drink that is actually capped on top of an arcade cabinet!
  • Max moving, adjusting, dancing and kissing the statuette of the Predator.
  • The jacket for the game was left on the floor throughout all this, which Max's dog, Benny, does not step on. Steve on the other hand does, and when he realizes it, almost trips over Benny.
    Jessica: Don't worry, the game's ok!
• The end of the Malenia, Blade of Miquella boss fight, where Max lets out his frustration by making odd engine noises... which gets overlaid with "Let's Go Away".
• Kenny showing Max the animations that play when you get a strike at a bowling alley under the assumption that the bowling ball does a Raging Demon. The video is titled I hate my friends.
• Max's Triple Take when going over Street Fighter 6's mechanics as he pauses at just the right time to get a nice look at Chun-Li's ass. The YouTube cut is accompanied by the Game Start sound from Among Us.
• While breaking down the Swift Master trailer for DNF Duel, someone in chat compares SM to another fighting game character in a manner that makes Max do a double take:
  Max: "Shota Rashid"? I don't want you to ever say that ever again, those two words together.
• Matt McMuscles managed to get Max to play Criticom, of all things. He began by repeating the game's name in Max's Twitch chat. When that failed, Matt messaged Max the cover of the game. As Max stared at the cover, its menu theme began to fade in at a deep, ominous pitch.
  Max: This just looks like Bio F.R.E.A.K.S., but dumb. Equally as dumb.
• During Max's fight with Xzibit in Def Jam: Fight for NY, Max grabs a pool stick from one of the crowd members to attack Xzibit with, who responds by wrestling the weapon away from him. Max responds to this by doing the same thing to him... only for Xzibit to take the weapon back, rinse and repeat. This goes on for nearly 40 seconds until Max breaks the weapon.
  • 10 seconds later, Xzibit grabs another pool stick from a crowd member.
    Max: No! Not again! You don't want to do this again!
• Max put out a call for his fans' favorite Street Fighter 6 clips at the end of its first beta test. Amidst all the combo videos were some pretty funny clips:
  • "The correct way to start the Jamie mirror": Both Jamie players back off, start drinking from their gourds at the same time, and neither of them let up until their Booze-Based Buff hits level 4.
  • "Peak Drive Impact": A Guile and Ken player accidentally take turns whiffing their Drive Impacts repeatedly due to their opponent jumping over them, almost to Overly Long Gag levels.
  • One clip by professional SF player Smug shows him harassing a Ken player with Yosokyaku crossups. Max calls it "some Marvel 1 shit".
  • "The perfect way to end a round": A Ryu and Ken player both on their last legs try to finish each other off with their Critical Arts, only for both of them to completely whiff. Upon the two of them landing, they both throw out their fastest punch normal and end up getting a Double Knockout for their troubles.
  • "AY AY WATCHU DOIN?": Ryu's seiza sitting round win animation causes some problems for Ken as he's sitting right on top of his face.
• Max's playthrough of Resident Evil 5 with NicoB.
  • Nico reading a document on Type 2 Plagas, which is longer than it needs to be. While this is happening, Max accidently encounters two dogs that start attacking him. This leads into Max fighting for dear life while Nico continues reading the note at an increased pace.
    Nico: Why am I hearing music?
    Max: Don't worry about it! I'm fine! Just keep reading!
  • Max walking away from the game to take a break and leaving Nico to do a Light and Mirrors Puzzle by himself. Guess what happens seconds after Max leaves.
    Nico: This is gonna hurt me, isn't it?
    Game cuts to Chris being burned to death
    Nico: (Screams)
    (Beat)
    Nico: The answer is yes.
• Max recently did a full playthrough of Super Mario 64. After finishing it, he was recommended to watch a certain video. Specifically, he was recommended to watch the infamous "0.5 A Presses in 'Watch For Rolling Rocks'" video...with the description "This is the story of how a seemingly innocuous video about not jumping much in Mario 64 transported Max back in time to the era of the dinosaurs, where he's been stuck ever since." It starts out easily enough, with Max correctly identifying the use of "Negative Edge" style inputs and Arbitrary Code Execution, but quickly goes way Off the Rails in ways Max was not expecting. It was very easy to pinpoint the moment he began the slow descent of losing his mind.
  Max: (reading the chat) "This man could be a doctor...(laughs)...but instead he's playing Mario 64!" (laughs more) "This man could be a doctor!" At some point in our lives, people are going to receive the Nobel Prize for Mario 64 speedrunning. This dude must've smoked that shit they found on Dune or something like that, right? That's what's going on. They huffed the sweet Spice and instead of using it to solve the mysteries of the fucking universe and space-time to travel from planet to planet, this bitch was like, "Dude, look what I can do with Mario 64! Look what I can fucking do in Mario 64!"
• Max's foray into Idol Showdown puts his signature bewildered confusion at anything anime on full display for about a third of the video. After opening with his reaction to assist character Marine yelling "I'M HORNY!", he spends an inordinate amount of time pretending to know anything about anyone in the game's roster, somehow coming to the conclusion that Idol Showdown is a real life Tournament Arc that takes place in "VTubia".
  • At the final round with him playing as Botan against another Botan player, he calls out his Ayunda Risu assist, "Isekai Truck", only for his opponent to just shoot the truck. Max wasn't amused.
    Max: Where's my fucking... dude, the truck is trash! How the hell is the truck just gone!? From like, no bar usage?
  • Later in the same stream, he does an impromptu Rate the Super, eventually giving Botan's Gatling Good super and the aforementioned Isekai Truck assist a 10/10, although he gives an honorable mention to Miko for saying "FAQ!" a lot during her Demon Lord Mikochi assist and Amelia's Ground Pound assist because of her screaming.
• Max's reaction to Mortal Kombat 1. Considering the Family-Unfriendly Violence of Mortal Kombat and Youtube's demonetization system, it was to be expected that Max would censor parts of the trailer in his video. What he did was whenever any violence was happening on screen, it would cut to his webcam with a caption at the bottom of the screen that read exactly like a Blatant Lie.
  NO FIGHTING, JUST PEACE
  NO VIOLENCE I SWEAR
  PLZ BELIEVE ME
  HE'S FINE, RLY
  AND THEY BECAME GOOD FRIENDS
  IGNORE THE DEATH SOUNDS
• Two words: FREAK FIGHTER. Special mention goes to the disturbingly accurate clone of Max himself, which he vehemently rates a zero, out of ten.
