    Wii Party 

Board Game Island

  • The first video starts off with the Guys observing the weird Miis Emile has on the title screen.
    • The Miis also show up as a cheering or commiserating crowd during the game, leading to Jon's Running Gag "CAPTAIN FALCON APPROVES!" or "CAPTAIN FALCON DOES NOT APPROVE!"
    • One of the minigames involves the Guys having to take pictures of a crowd of Miis when the biggest number of them is smiling. Unfortunately, said crowd of Miis are made up of Emile's esoteric collection, including many ones where it's impossible to tell if they're smiling or not...
      • Some of the Miis seen on Emile's Wii are Captain Falcon, Pikachu, Brock, Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Chicken Little, Bubbles, Porky Minch, Mr. Saturn, Satoru Iwata, Michael Jackson, a Mii with a penguin for a face, a Mii whose face resembles a bicycle, and a horse.
  • Due to having only three players, the game randomly picks a Mii as a fourth character for them. The one it picks is a male Mii named Luca.
    Jon: "Hey, Lucahjin! You look different this time...That's a nice goatee you have, Lucahjin..."
    Tim: "I knew it was too good to be true..."
    Emile: "I knew it was gonna pick something stupid, but I didn't know that..."
    Tim: "All those times I fff- never mind..."
    Jon: "Ho ho..."
    Tim: "Juuuust kidding...!"
    Jon: "Oh Tim..."
    • And then Reese herself comments:
      Reese: OH MY GOD.. I LOOK SO GOOD :D Yeeahhhhh ladies!!!!!
  • The ridiculous voice Emile does for the announcer.
    Jon: "The normal voice is the highlight voice?!"
    • Near the end of the game, where the voice starts to revert back to his Magolor voice.
  • Jon yelling "SUPERMAN!" during Cosmic Capers.
  • Tim does really well for most of the board, especially in the minigames, but his last few die rolls send him not only backwards about fifteen or so spaces, but then to hellnote . I guess the universe had to rebalance itself after his win on Fortune Street.
  • At the end, "How many teams have George Jefferson and a snowman on them?"
  • The outro consists of Tim and Jon stating their names in an unsure manner, then Emile claiming he forgot his own name.
    Emile: "Time to start a JRPG about my amnesia!"
  • In the Walk-Off mini game, where the players must try to travel a certain distance, Jon goes way past the mark while everyone else stops behind it, leading to this Call-Back.
    Jon: "Bye, everybody! I don't understand yards!"

Globe Trot

  • Jon's reaction to the game's choice of souvenir in Canada (a bottle of maple syrup).
    Jon: "THAT'S RACIST! THAT'S RACIST! Also, why is it in Vancouver? It should be in Quebec! THAT'S RACIST!"
    • Even funnier, Jon eventually gets that space. And Emile gets the Mexican one where he buys a sombrero, which Jon thinks is even more racist.
  • Jon buys a helicopter and gets it stolen by the CPU right after that.
    Jon: "YOU JERK! I just bought that!" *Mii Jon rummages through pockets and panics* "Why is my helicopter not in my pocket?!"
    • And then later on, Jon buys several vehicle cards, and Emile jokes about him using them all at once. Cue Jon wanting to ride a taxi inside a train that's being carried by a helicopter.
    • Actually, a lot of things involving vehicle cards, and anything involving helicopters.
  • Jon comparing Emile's version of the announcer's voice to 'a Russian Elmo'.
  • The group pointing out how they're talking more about economics while playing the game than they did on their Fortune Street LP, leading to Jon doing his "Mexican Waluigi" voice again.
  • Emile uses a card that lets him travel to any airport in the world. One of his choices is FINLAND! Jon also notes that there are only 3 airports Emile can choose from and questions what happened to the economy.
  • In Episode 3, Emile recounts the first time that he and Tim went to Canada and caused a car accident. That in itself isn't too funny, but the circumstances make it much funnier in hindsight. In Canada they had experimental crosswalks designed to prevent accidents, and Emile, having never seen or used them before, used one and caused a car to slam their brakes and get rear-ended.

Swap Meet

  • After Tim is left out of the intro and points it out, he proceeds to dominate the rest of the game.
  • During the intro of the game itself, Emile tries to use his Russian Elmo voice and Jon interjects, resulting in the two of them arguing over the use of it. Meanwhile Tim's quietly thumbing through the explanation screens for the players at home, causing Emile and Jon to accuse each other of doing it to avoid Russian Elmo. Jon then asks "Russian Elmo" to explain the game, which he does pretty well.
  • Emile points out that the game randomly chose a stripe scheme for his Mii and the other blue Miis, making them look like they're all wearing polo shirts.
  • Tim swaps out a Mii, Emile says that Mii was his mom's ex-boyfriend, Jon comments "Well she didn't want him!"
  • Jon initially tries to build a three in a row with platinum Miis for extra points, but eventually switches a platinum Mii for a blue Mii for an easier match. After the minigame...
    Jon: "I'll take the guy who kinda looks like me..."
    * chooses random Mii that turns out to be platinum*
    Jon: (while Emile is laughing) "This is how this game's going to go, isn't it?"
    Tim: "What the balls?"
  • In the mini-game "Risky Railroad" where each player must pick to go left, right, or straight and hope it doesn't lead to a dead end, Emile tries to win by doing absolutely nothing and the game automatically puts him on the straight path each time, but on the second junction, the straight path is the dead end.
    Jon: "Nice try, Luigi."

Spin Off

  • At the end of Part 1, Jon has a 1 vs 1 mini game against the CPU. The mini-game's objective is to drive a moped to deliver a pizza. Jon is singing made up lyrics to the Spider-Man 2 Pizza Delivery Song, bumps into the curb twice which costs him the mini-game, and Emile states that Jon's singing was the best part of the video.
  • After noting that their avatars wear bow ties for this game, Jon keeps making Doctor Who references, which go completely over Emile's head.
  • After getting annoyed with Emile continuing to do the Russian Elmo announcer voice, Jon retaliates by reading out "Bank Bonanza!" in an increasingly deep and slurred voice, which Emile dubs "Bankenstein's Monster".
    • At the beginning of the video, Emile is trying to do the Russian Elmo voice before Jon interjects. Emile then begins reading the instructions in an increasingly fast and slurred imitation (with Jon doing his own interpretation underneath and Tim eventually quietly adding in one himself), capping it off with what is basically "Xena the Turkey",.
  • The first few rounds mostly consist of medals being added to the bank, leading to about 12,000 medals being stored. Then someone activates a minigame — keep in mind, whoever wins the minigame wins everything in the bank. Jon wins.
    • Even more amusingly, when the game ends, there's a line graph of how well everyone did. Jon's line skyrockets absurdly, attracting the amusement of the guys.
      Jon: "Ha! Take THAT, math! That's what I think of your graphs!"
  • Emile's introduction saying Spin Off and Bingo are luck based so they know how Jon will fare. Guess who wins both of these modes.

Bingo

  • Jon manages to win Walk-Off, giving him the game. His response?
    Jon: "Fuck you, America! ...I don't know why I said that."
    • It's because Walk-Off measures distance in yards.
  • The game manages to draw three different Mario Miis in a single game, and the Guys don't like any of them.

Pair Games

  • "Another day in the robot factory..."
  • Jon and Tim are playing Meet and Greet, a mini-game where they both need to choose from a set of doors until they see each other. The first door Tim opens has a Mii sitting on a toilet. Tim and Emile shout Tim's catchphrase.
    Tim: "IN THE BATHROOM!"
  • Emile suggests that the real reason a game involves balancing Miis on the sail yards of a ship is a really blatant attempt at people-smuggling over the border.
  • At the beginning of Friend Connection, Jon jokes about wanting to play as Captain Falcon, then Jon and Emile immediately see the featured couples and react accordingly.
    Emile: *bursts out laughing*
    Jon: "CAPTAIN FALCON, WHY ARE YOU DATING THAT HORSE?! Captain Fal... And then, Snape and... Hermione?!"
    Tim: "What the heck?"
    Emile: "Captain Falcon, you got some 'splaining to do!"
    • It led to this gift sometime later.
    • Became Hilarious in Hindsight since Jon and Reese are now married.
    • When looking over the rules:
      Jon: "I'm not allowed to talk to you? Dude, I love this game already!"
  • Jon gets locked into doing a sports announcer voice when Tim and Emile play the Match Pairs game.
  • Similar to the "George Jefferson and a snowman" example above, at the end Emile comments that "Darth Vader is holding hands with Pippi Longstocking!"
  • In Match Up, a game of Memory with Miis, Emile spots a Mii version of Bubbles in the crowd and brings up how he used to mishear the theme song as "Buttercup the topless fighter." Jon starts to rant about how Squick-y that would be until he spots himself in the crowd of Miis and lets out a deadpan "Hi. It's me."

    Wii Party U 

Highway Rollers

Episode 1

  • The intro starts off with a pun.
    Emile: "In Soviet Russia, Wii party U."
  • Emile says that the very first thing he saw when he started this game up for the first time was a Miiverse post saying "What the fuck is this shit Nintendo, don't you know how to make good games like Metroid anymore?".
  • Jon jokes that, since the first game has them rolling multiple dice at once, they'll be able to directly compare how bad their luck is.
  • They keep getting distracted by recognizing the Miis in the background.
  • One of the minigames has them in a swimming race, and in the second section they're basically doing somersaults through the water. Emile asks if this is really a swimming move, and Jon firmly assures him that it is not. Then the next section has them spinning through the water.
    Emile: "Is this a swimming move?"
    Jon: "Not really! It is a dumb thing!"

Episode 2

  • "Apathy!" note 
    • "Enthusiasm shall win the day over apathy. They are two sides of the same coin, one cannot exist without the other..." note 
  • Emile's announcer voice from the last Wii Party game makes its glorious return.
  • The first round where the last place player (Tim, in this case) gets to pick the minigame, the choices are knitting, R/C cars, and unicycling on a cliff. Jon voices his disappointment when Tim picks knitting, saying that the unicycle cliff game looked "badass".
    • "EXTREME KNITTING!"

Episode 3

  • Jon's first roll of the episode and Emile zooms in on the dice as a die falls off of another one, going from six to a one. Jon didn't take it well.
    Jon: "THAT'S RUDE! THAT'S RUDE!"
    • For added amusement, the die falling on one was actually a blessing, since Jon landed on a positive event space, whereas if he had gotten a 6 on that die, he would have landed on a negative event.
  • Emile blabbers about something involving Robocop and helicopters with boobs...
    Jon: "What is with you and giving helicopters boobs? It's very concerning."
    Emile: [frantically thinking of a comeback] "Uhh, your fetishes are just as weird!" [starts reading the minigame description to get out of the conversation]
    Tim: "Ummmm..."
    Jon: "Do tell me, Emile; what are my fetishes?"
    Emile: [awkwardly] "Umm...they're Oddish?"

Gamepad Island

Part 1

  • Jon wins two balance minigames in a row where both Emile and Tim fall off at almost the same time, Emile a frame before Tim. For the first one, they replay it in slow motion. Hearing Emile and Tim scream at the same time and then Jon yelling "UNICYCLE CHAMPION!" slowed down is hilarious.

Part 2

  • Jon wastes time trying to choose correct path in a cave, as he continues to choose the wrong one, up until only the correct choice is left. Emile then comes up to the cave next, and Jon guesses that he'll choose the right path on the first try. Sure enough...

Mii Fashion Plaza

Episode 1

Episode 2

  • Jon visits the "One Stop Shop", where you can choose any piece of clothing. While Jon looks his choices, Emile mentions that he has an idea of what Jon should do. Jon says that he thinks he knows what Emile means, and goes for the Mario Hat... much to the latter's confusion. Emile then points out that he should have gotten the Ninja Pants instead, since he had the other 3 parts of the set. Jon spends the next few minutes kicking himself for his mistake.
    Jon: "MOTHER--"
  • In a minigame where Jon has to tilt a platform with the other three on to tip them off, Emile points out that Jon keeps appearing as a laughing Evil Genius on screens in the background, which Tim compares to The Architect. Jon ends up being more joyfully enthusiastic about this than the fact that he won the minigame.
    Jon: "That RULES!"

Episode 3

The Balldozer

  • During the first minigame of this mode, No Goals Barred,* Jon gets all of his green soccer balls into the goals, but is left confused as to why the game didn't register him winning when Emile gets all his soccer balls in and it registers HIM winning... Until he notices one last green soccer ball hiding behind a post and blending in with the grass.
    Jon: "You have got to be kidding me!"
  • Starting in Round 3, the bonus ring comes into play*. When Jon tries to get the bonus ring, one ball drops onto the hoop of the ring, and rolls right off it.

Lost and Found Square

  • In the first round, Jon only manages to find Emile with thirty seconds left on the clockTo put this in perspective... while Tim cannot find Emile at all. Why? Emile, when relaying clues to his location, manages to mistake a plane for a hammer! Jon's reaction, in which he points out that the "hammer" had a propeller and wings, was precious. To rub salt in the wound, this mistake directly torpedoed any chance of Emile or Tim winning the minigame, with Emile himself ending up in dead last.
    Emile: Jon, you and I work so well together.
    Jon: No we don't! That's the problem!
    • Emile also screws himself over out of points by referring to the green train he's nearby as yellow. While it does have distinct yellow metal, the body of the train itself is green, prompting Jon and Tim to look everywhere but where Emile is trying to find a non-existent yellow train.

Sketchy Situation

  • The Guys trying to vocalize the wild, flailing animations that occur whenever a character draws in this minigame.
  • Tim asks if he could retract the incorrect answer he clicked on in the second round, because he clicked on it by accident. It turns out that he can't, which leads to him being the entire minigame's only loser. Everyone else got first place.

Do U Know Mii?

  • Emile rating Jon as "not independent at all" during the first game (he does try to justify it, but this just makes it clear that Emile and Jon had wildly different interpretations of the questionnote ), and Jon repeatedly ribbing him about it for the entire rest of the video.
    Emile: "I haven't cried this hard since the Metropolitan Mutant of Ark!"
    • Emile went all the way to the left on his vote, mind you, he did not think Jon had any sort of independence.
      Emile: "Okay, independent as far as what?"
      Jon: "...REALITY!"
    • Jon eventually got his revenge during the second round. Emile's question: How sore a loser are you? The vote was almost unanimous, as Jon and Tim go all the way to the right to "Total Sore Loser".
    • Emile trying to make up for it by complimenting Jon.
      Emile: You are a very talented person.
      Jon: "Ha! Now you're just gonna be playing "suck up" for the rest of the video."
      Tim: "You must reclaim your honor."
      Emile: "I was actually telling you earlier, like, just how, like, awesome your whole setup that you put together is..."
      Jon: "Yeah! I did that by MYSELF, motherfucker!"
    • If you listen closely, you can hear Tim's reasoning for his option of saying Jon has a lot of independence? Why, he watched PBG Hardcore, where he was featured. How is this funny? Well, if you've seen both seasons Jon was featured, you'd know that both times, he ended up dying due to his tendency to go off alone and be independent; between taking fall damage in a dark area where nobody else was with him in Terraria 2, and dying to a boulder trap nobody else was there to spot for him in Terraria 3. He wasn't just independent, it's what killed him both times!
  • A funny little interpretation of the beginning of their second round: with how the commentary lined up with the gameplay, it sounded as if Tim was set up to be strangled by Jon in his sleep.
    Jon: "Are you ready for some fun? Sure am, Phil! Sure am! Tell me more! Who am I strangling in their sleep tonight?"
    (Game Text: Let's start with the first round. The person in the hot seat is...NCapriSun)
    Tim: "Oh..."

Water Runners

Feed Mii

  • At the end of Jon's round as the cashier, Emile and Tim's miis eat their ice cream first. Jon points this out and Emile retorts he's a grown up and he waited 18 years of school and parenting to eat ice cream for breakfast.
  • On the last round when Emile is the cashier, he misses a few things on Jon's order. And in perhaps the most TRG sentence ever formed, Jon tells Emile "You forgot my small fries to go with my large fries." What sells it is Emile's reaction; he busts out laughing and wheezing from that line, and spends the next while in tears and barely able to speak from laughing so hard.
    Emile: [still laughing] "The sad thing... If I worked in a retail shop, you would totally do that!"

Dance With Mii

Animal Matchup

  • Jon randomly delivers commentary in an Eastern European-accented monotone ("Where is dog. Where is peeg.") which keeps making Emile laugh.
  • Jon also commentates on Tim and Emile doing badly at the 'assemble robots' minigame by scatting his words to a 'beep boop boop beep' robotic beat that goes with the minigame music.

Bridge Burners

  • Being that this is a cooperative mode, you can already tell where this mode will go. You don't even need to Take Our Word for It. The game even admits that it's not easy working as a team.
    Emile: "Oh boy, do we know that?"
  • For one of the minigames, Twisted Flight,* Tim and Jon both get 50 yards, while Emile gets 49, just barely missing out on the target score of 150 yards.
  • On their first attempt, they fail at the second minigame, Moonbase Escape*. Their second attempt goes far smoother, and then...
    Emile: "Last stage and we have two chances."
    Jon: "Here's hoping. The final stage."
    Emile: "Alright, what is the final boss of Wii Party U."
    Jon: "It's gonna be the one we messed up."
    [The last wall falls, revealing the game to be Moonbase Escape]
    Emile: "OH!" [Starts laughing]
    Jon: "Wow. I was joking. Really? I was joking."

Spot the Sneak

  • Emile and Jon talking about fonts. After Jon has suggested that Arial is used a lot because it is alphabetically near the start of a list of fonts:
    Emile: "Well somebody needs to make a really good font and call it AAAAAAAAAAAA."
    Jon: "Uh huh. My favorite font: UGH."

Minigame Free Play

  • Emile starts going through the list of minigames that haven't played yet...by starting on Twisted Flight, a minigame they've already played twice. He wrote it down as Twisted Fight, so he thought it was a fighting type game they hadn't seen yet.
  • Emile tries to play the games in the order of his list, resulting in him searching the games for the next one on his list, while Jon just wants to play one that looks like Pac-man, while Emile ignores it. Turns out the one Jon wants to play actually is the next game on the list, which Jon wastes no time pointing out.
  • Catch a Wave, the 1-vs-3 minigame where one player has to use their voice to control a sound wave "platform" and bump the other players into an electrical field. Emile's attempt can best be described as a combination of loud screaming, hooting, grunting, singing, and other nonsensical babble.
    Tim: Somebody please take that and set it to that scene from Liar Liar!
    • Another point that makes it all even funnier is that Emile made some vocal noise while the Gamepad’s microphone was calibrating for the minigame (and there was even a prompt on screen NOT to make any noise), so the high pitch sounds he was making weren’t registering properly.

Freeplay Balloon Boppers

  • The guys' excitement when the AI finally starts playing the game instead of just running around randomly.
    Tim: "He fought back!"
