YMMV / Marik Plays Bloodlines

Go To

  • Accidental Innuendo: Most of the jokes are deliberate, but these are highlighted by Bakura laughing while Marik acts confused.
    • "Geez, I can't believe on my first day as a vampire I sucked off a hobo."
    • "Ooh, I love a good man-hole!"
    • "That's not the first time I've shot in a guy's face."
    • "And I usually enjoy a good back alley, don't get me wrong. I've gone through the rear entrance of many buildings."
  • Angst? What Angst?: Marik gets over his accidental killing a prostitute when he sees the Foxy Boxes sign.
    • He later encounters a character who has a split personality that ended up going rogue and killing her abusive father. While Marik does acknowledge how much he identifies with the character, he doesn't seem emotionally affected by it in the slightest. To be fair, that episode probably would have gotten a little too heavy for a comedy had he taken that connection more seriously. And it's not as if the original series took it all that seriously anyway.
  • Awesome Music:
    • LittleKuriboh comes out with yet another example: Marik's parody of "Amadeus".
    • Marik's Evanescence cover.
  • Fashion-Victim Villain: Marik occasionally lampshades his status as such.
    • "I think we should go with the sexy vampire. That way I won't have to do any actual roleplaying."
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: In part 1, Marik takes a potshot at California, being a state that would 'suck you dry.' That becomes this trope when you find out LittleKuriboh moved to California to live with his partner.
  • Ho Yay: Bakura starts making some very suspicious comments around episode 6. Marik is oblivious, as usual.
    • Bakura still has dreams...err, nightmares about that time they had to share a bed.
    • He also asks if Marik would think it was creepy if someone watched him while he slept.
      Marik: "You're not busy, you're pretending to read a book!"
      Bakura: "What makes you think I'm pretending?"
      Marik: "You've been on the same page for, like, two hours. You've just been staring at me."
    • In Part 4:
      Marik: Oh, by the way, I've heard some rumors flying around that Bakura and I... well, you know, so I'd like to address those rumors right now, I'd like to "come out of the closet", you might say.
      Bakura: Marik...
      Marik: It's okay, Bakura, I know what I'm doing. It's true: Bakura and I...are evil! And we're not ashamed of it!
    • "Quick, Bakura, tell me I look sexy!" "Gh- no!" "Oh, what good are you?!"
    • But especially this: Marik finally coming out of the closet, even if it was only for like 15 seconds.
      Marik: Ok, ok! I admit it! I'm gay, I'm gay! I like men, and I like men's bottoms, and I have a whole folder on my computer filled with Thiefshipping pictures!(That's Marik/Bakura, in case you didn't know. no wonder Bakura is suprised.)
      • And then he denies it immediately.
    • When one of the doors slams on him
      Marik: Paranormal Activity! You will believe a door can slam very hard!
      Bakura: I'd like you to slam me very hard.
    • When Marik starts rambling about how Bakura wanted them to see The Notebook together, Bakura interrupts and claims he was planning to swap the cinema reel with Cannibal Holocaust.
      Marik: You said you wanted to see a romantic movie with me!
      Bakura: Cannibal Holocaust IS a romantic movie! It's about peoples' love for eating flesh.
    • Marik Plays Slender combines this with Stealth Insult after Marik mocks The Blair Witch Project.
      Bakura: I like that movie.
      Marik: You like stupid things.
      Bakura: Yes I do, Marik. Yes, I do.
    • Upon meeting a psychic woman:
      Marik: Bakura once told me my fortune. He said that I was going to meet a tall, handsome stranger and I said, 'Well, I've aready met Odion! Hah, because he's tall!".
      Bakura: I was actually referring to myself.
      Marik: You're not tall!
  • Nightmare Fuel: At the end of "Marik Plays Slender", Slendy manages to actually sound scary for once.
