History Funny / TwoBestFriendsPlayFridayNightFisticuffs

** Near the end of the video, they decide to look at the developer's site. After looking through their other projects, they discover a quote stating that the developers "eclipsed" the likes of Capcom with their own project - the quote being from '''IGN.com.''' [[AluminumChristmasTrees And this was not simply made up]]: [[https://www.ign.com/articles/2008/12/12/independents-day-vol-14-retro-resurrection this was quoted straight from an official article.]]

** Near the end of the video, they decide to look at the developer's site. After looking through their other projects, they find [[BigBad Red Man]]'s character profile in the Block Battle section and...[[https://youtu.be/E3RAGJ9Hm30?t=34m27s everyone pretty much loses it.]]

** Woolie starts hyping up Fritz when Pat ends up picking him, going into detail about how the character and his moves work. Less than a minute later, Pat starts saying how he hates the character because he's ''exactly'' the [[DifficultButAwesome kind]] [[MechanicallyUnusualFighter of fighter]] Pat hates, while conversely being the kind Woolie loves. Cue Pat ultimately winning the round anyway. [[spoiler:Only for Woolie's character, Anonym, to AutoRevive out of nowhere, an ability Woolie forgot she even had, and [[YankTheDogsChain take the win away from Pat]].]]

** With the first two unlocked boss characters (German [[KiManipulation Ubermensch]] [[BigBad Cula]] and the aforementioned [[CaptainErsatz "Italian Hitler"]] [[ThoseWackyNazis Wac]][[{{Cyborg}} ker]]) setting a clear trend, the Best Friends wonder who the third boss fighter is, if it's not Japan. When it turns out to be [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers a wholesome-looking Nepalese mountain man]], they are baffled by the implications.

** The game is a [[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible terrible fighting game]], but it nevertheless manages to produce some hilarity. The [[InvisibleWall arena barrier]] is both highly damaging and has a lot of knockback, while the game's controls are terrible. This leaves the guys in hysterics during one match, when Woolie's heavily armored evil knight does his best Darth Vader impression and declares "I am your master" [[{{Narm}} as he charges headlong into the arena barrier and gets knocked on his ass.]] ''[[RuleOfThree Thrice.]]''

** At first, this 2D fighting game looks like a generic, budget boxing/MMA-style game, but quickly proves to be [[CoversAlwaysLie anything but.]] The characters all have absurd and over-the-top super moves, such as a gangbanger with a [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Devil Trigger]] and a SCUBA diver with a [[Franchise/DragonBall Khamehameha-style]] energy blast. Most of these supers either snap across the stage, are completely unblockable or are simply [[GameBreaker both]], leaving any competitive balance sacrificed for absurd levels of RuleOfCool and the Best Friends in stunned hysterics.

** While playing the game, they take the time to explain moments from certain anime. This ranges from explaining the concept of ''LightNovel/BlackBullet'' ("It's an anime where [[JustForFun/RecycledInSpace they have to defend their city]] [[Anime/AttackOnTitan from the giant monsters outside.]]") to making constant ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' references when talking about ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'' (among them is calling Asuna the Casca of Sword Art for [[ActionGirl multiple]] [[BreakTheCutie reasons]]) to explaining the "Robo-Baby" (i.e. Yui). Part of the episode's basically people talking about an anime to people who have no idea what said anime's about. Most of it directed at Sword Art Online, as they talk about various plot points from the show.

* ''VideoGame/DeathCargo'':
** The gang spends nearly half the video attempting to figure out how to perform [[{{Gorn}} ultra-violent fatality-style finishers]] even more violent than the ones they already easily activated. When they finally figure it out, [[https://youtu.be/TdbANIBuUOk?t=23m they manage to perform it]]. [[spoiler: Only for the video of the gruesome "Deathrip" to not display properly, because Woolie forgot to install the Deathrip video codecs.]]

** Them all absolutely losing it to [[https://youtu.be/TdbANIBuUOk?t=31m Agent Malcolm's Deathrip animation and collectively laughing their asses off due to the sheer absurdity of it.]]

** ''Avengers: Battle for Earth'', being the [[BlatantLies monument to great design that it is]], let's the player with the Wii Remote control the screen while the player with the Wii U GamePad is trying to pick characters, resulting in a tug-of-war for control over the game every time. And when Pat tries Liam's patience a little too hard, Liam responds by wiping his hand directly onto [[SuperOCD Pat's]] $2000 TV.

** In a [[FunnyAneurysmMoment slightly morbid fashion]], a now-deleted comment on the video predicted what would happen the next week, with an appropriate edit after the fact, paraphrasing:

** Woolie embraces his inner AngryBlackMan at the end.

** After seeing Lilandra in the background of one of the stages, Matt begins quoting lines from the old ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' cartoon in his best 90s Professor X voice.

** Matt does a pretty good job reciting an old ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' TV series quote from memory, and is clearly a little disappointed when Woolie doesn't get it:

** Pat calls the game a ''Tekken'' clone only for Matt and Woolie to dismiss him. He proceeds to run a search for sites referencing both series and listing off the (many) results (including Wiki/ThisVeryWiki) in an increasingly hysterical tone. You can hear Woolie grinning and shaking his head.

** The gang spends nearly half the video attempting to figure out how to perform [[{{Gorn}} ultra-violent fatality-style finishers]] [[UpToEleven even more violent than the ones they already easily activated.]] When they finally figure it out, [[https://youtu.be/TdbANIBuUOk?t=23m they manage to perform it]]. [[spoiler: Only for the video of the gruesome "Deathrip" to not display properly, because Woolie forgot to install the Deathrip video codecs.]]

'''Woolie:''' Well, some of them lead to weapon breaks, some of them lead to guard breaks, [[SerialEscalation some of them lead to fatalities]], some of them lead to stuns. [[UpToEleven Of which there are multiple types.]]\\

** The video opens with Pat ''furiously'' rebutting Woolie's accusation that [[RantInducingSlight he doesn't like the opening to]] Anime/SamuraiChamploo, and it only goes downward from there. It helps that Pat is ''completely shitfaced'' the entire time.

** The guys have a discussion about the FridgeLogic / VoodooShark implications of the game's explanation for how {{Badass Normal}}s like Comicbook/{{Batman}} and Comicbook/HarleyQuinn can fight {{Flying Brick}}s and {{Physical God}}s like Comicbook/{{Superman}} and Comicbook/{{Shazam}} [[PowerCreepPowerSeep on a level playing field]]. They agree that the street-level characters taking special pills to enhance their combat strength makes sense, but question why this somehow also means the powerhouses can be damaged by weapons, vehicles and environmental objects.
-->'''Pat:''' But did Hawkgirl's mace take Superman pills? Did the Batmobile take Superman pills? Did Comicbook/GreenArrow's bow and arrow take Superman pills?

* ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'':

* ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'':

** At the very end, during the [[SarcasmMode oh-so-epic]] final battle, the crew starts humming [[StarWars Duel of the Fates]]. Pat objects.

** During the first match, Pat summons his AssistCharacter, [[Comicbook/AntMan Giant-Man]], whose attack consists of a goofy-looking gigantic arm that comes in and squeezes the opponent. Matt immediately ''loses his shit'' at the sight of this.

** While playing the game, they take the time to explain moments from certain anime. This ranges from explaining the concept of ''LightNovel/BlackBullet'' ("It's an anime where [[RecycledInSpace they have to defend their city]] [[Anime/AttackOnTitan from the giant monsters outside.]]") to making constant ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' references when talking about ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'' (among them is calling Asuna the Casca of Sword Art for [[ActionGirl multiple]] [[BreakTheCutie reasons]]) to explaining the "Robo-Baby" (i.e. Yui). Part of the episode's basically people talking about an anime to people who have no idea what said anime's about. Most of it directed at Sword Art Online, as they talk about various plot points from the show.

-->'''Pat:''' It's weird, that part where they show flashbacks of Comicbook/WonderWoman, like, killing a bunch of children.

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}} 12.3 Hisoutensoku'':

** The game has a wealth of ridiculousness, but the standouts are Tom's Rising Tackle-style move, the Rocketier, and their new terminology for [[{{RapidFireFisticuffs}} mash punch specials]], courtesy of the vaguely-"ethnic" Abdul: the '''MEGNUM PUNCH'''.

** Woolie and Matt play as unlockable characters Spider-Man and Comicbook/ProfessorX respectively. Spider-Man is pretty reasonable, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFa2zzt4yow&t=32m45s ol' Charles...]] Matt actually can be heard leaning away from the camera, he's laughing so hard.

* ''Videogame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf'':

** The game is a [[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible terrible fighting game]], but it nevertheless manages to produce some hilarity. The [[InvisibleWall arena barrier]] is both highly damaging and has a lot of knockback, while the game's controls are terrible. This leaves the guys in hysterics during one match, when Woolie's heavily armored evil knight does his best [[DarthVaderClone Darth Vader impression]] and declares "I am your master" [[{{Narm}} as he charges headlong into the arena barrier and gets knocked on his ass.]] ''[[RuleOfThree Thrice.]]''

'''Pat''': Well, [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife Woolie is dead]].

--> '''Matt:''' Like the proble-OH GODDDD, I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT FUCKING ART BEFORE! [[OffModel WHO ''IS'' THAT?!]]

-->'''Woolie''': (laughing) Does Thor have a ''swastika'' on his armband?[[labelnote:*]]He doesn't.[[/labelnote]]
-->'''Pat''': ''Nooooooooooooo...'' Dude, that's a misspeak, uhh... ''[random gibberish]''
-->'''Matt''': He's a ''[[UnusualEuphemism very fine person]]''.

-->'''Announcer''': Battle without limits!
-->'''Matt''': Actually there were huge financial limits! Like, massive ones!
-->'''Woolie''': ''[losing it]'' Battle on a budget!
-->'''Matt''': Battle on a [[ChristmasRushed timeline]]!

** Throughout the video, the Zaibatsu, particularly Pat, gets increasingly annoyed at the game's [[LullDestruction almost constant noise from it's characters.]]

** How does the Fisticuffs to the long-awaited ''MvCI'' start off? With the intro sequence to [[TakeThat Scrublords]], [[SoOkayItsAverage a first for the channel]]. Thus begins a cavalcade of mockery.

--> '''Matt:''' Like the proble-OH GODDDD, I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT FUCKING ART BEFORE! [[OffModel WHO]] ''[[OffModel IS]]'' [[OffModel THAT?!]]
