History Funny / JamesAndMikeMondays

* The UsefulNotes/AtariJaguar CD didn't work for ''The Angry Video Game Nerd'', but a couple years later James got a unit in working condition, so he and Mike gave it a try. The best was when they played the ''Highlander: The Last of the [=MacLeods=]'' game, and were unable to get away from two enemies who kept beating the main character with sticks (James: "I can't get out of this!").

** In the same review, James asked Mike what was on the TV behind him. It was UsefulNotes/XboxOne. James asked if Mike wanted to play it, and Mike replied, [[TakeThat "No."]] Yes, they'd rather play a shitty VHS-based light gun game instead of a brand new console.

* While playing Mario Chase on ''VideoGame/NintendoLand'', Mike notices the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqoqueKeEFk&feature=youtu.be&t=15m06s face-cam feature]], and screws himself over. At first, both of them question why the [[UsefulNotes/WiiU Wii U]] would have such a feature, but by the next round, they have [[TakeOurWordForIt so much fun with it that they don't care.]]

* James and Mike have fun playing the ''VideoGame/DoubleDragon'' UsefulNotes/NeoGeo movie-based fighting game...even as it resets on them halfway through.

* The Mario "No Coins, No Enemies Challenge" has an extended bit towards the end when Mike does a purposefully bad impression of Creator/SylvesterStallone listing off all his ''Rambo'' and ''Rocky'' movies. While doing the latter, he blanks because he can't think of ''Film/{{Creed}}''- James says ''Rocky Creed''.

* ''VideoGame/SuperC'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2h6Lu7LM_c No Shots Fired]]: The moment at 3:36 when James struggles to keep from laughing when Mike's jumping around tons of bullets, and eventually can't help but crack up.

* For ''VideoGame/WariosWoods,'' James and Mike try to figure out the whole gameplay, since they hadn't played the game beforehand. After a match, James tries to explain how to get a bomb to match up with a tall column of monsters that have the same color, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-sYZiMR054&t=19m23s in a similar fashion to]] [[Film/BacktotheFuture Doc Brown]], causing Mike to laugh just trying to understand what he's saying.

* When playing ''Demons to Diamonds'' on Atari 2600, James and Mike make a bet: loser has to play ''Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde'' for 5 minutes. Mike loses and gets through the first level of ''Jekyll & Hyde'' with ease before his allotted time is up, but James shuts the NES off before Mike gets the chance to ask him if he wants to try the second level. Mike says it's the fastest he's ever seen James get up to turn off a game.

* The Atari Jaguar CD didn't work for ''The Angry Video Game Nerd'', but a couple years later James got a unit in working condition, so he and Mike gave it a try. The best was when they played the ''Highlander: The Last of the [=MacLeods=]'' game, and were unable to get away from two enemies who kept beating the main character with sticks (James: "I can't get out of this!").

* ''Godzilla Unleashed'': The discussion gets onto shows not on DVD and Blu-ray (such as ''Series/Batman1966'', which at the time wasn't on home video). Mike wants a complete box set of The Weather Channel. And not just the programming, but all the commercials and bumpers.

* In ''Universal Studios Theme Park Adventure'', the two are confused why they can't get on rides when there are too many people. Later, James and Mike are underwhelmed by the ''Film/{{Waterworld}}'' exhibit, which is just the finale of the stage show that lasts about five seconds and the only thing you can control is where you sit in the audience. Mike admits: "Well, at least we got to look at that instead of having to stand in a line." James starts laughing at how ridiculous Mike's statement is: "Who would ever think you'd say that when you're playing a game, like- "We might have to stand in a line!""

* Oh boy, ''Super Off Road''...

** The fun continues into the very next video, where they play ''RC Pro AM 2''. Pat brings up ''Super Off-Road'' and Mike, half-facetious and half-serious, tells him to shut the fuck up about that game. And they also have a hypothetical discussion of Ivan Stewart eating out Mike's ass, causing all three of them to burst into hysterics.

* While playing Mario Chase on [[VideoGame/NintendoLand Nintendo Land]], Mike notices the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqoqueKeEFk&feature=youtu.be&t=15m06s face-cam feature]], and screws himself over. At first, both of them question why the [[UsefulNotes/WiiU Wii U]] would have such a feature, but by the next round, they have [[TakeOurWordForIt so much fun with it that they don't care.]]

* ''Batman'' on NES. Near the end, Mike finds himself in deep shit, faced with very tough enemies to defeat, no weapons to attack them with, and one HP left. James advises him to run for it, which he does, screaming all the way, and he makes it. However, in his excitement, he throws the controller to James, not realizing there's a boss. James only manages to pause right as the boss is about to hit Batman, with no way to avoid it. Fortunately, they had one last guy, and James manages to beat the boss anyway.

* In ''Excitebike 64'', James shared an anecdote about a time in grade school when he took a field trip to a museum where they had a display of droppings from various animals. James was the only one to get 100% of the answers correct, which caused the guy running the quiz to tell him, [[{{Pun}} "You really know your shit."]]

* ''Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu'': James and Mike trying to say "slipperier" and eventually devolving into imitating the gibberish vocals in ''VideoGame/StarFox''.

* Hot off the heels of the ''AVGN'' review of ''Beavis and Butt-Head'' (Genesis), James and Mike play it on this show [[labelnote:Note]](though it was actually recorded before the ''AVGN'' episode)[[/labelnote]]. Of special mention are two instances where the duo die for seemingly no reason [[labelnote:Note]](their health kept depleting from the tainted burger)[[/labelnote]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBh4aCVLApY&t=11m16s and on the second instance James hits an instant replay and still can't figure it out.]]

* ''Alex Kidd in Miracle World'': The scene transitions are Alex Kidd munching on an onigiri (rice ball). Mike interprets it as Alex eating a pot brownie.
* ''Joe & Mac'': While playing one of the volcano levels, James meant to say "I'm gonna make a far jump", but trails off before he finishes the sentence, and Mike bursts out laughing because he thought he was going to say "I'm gonna make a fart."

* When playing ''Road Runner'' on NES, Mike once again accidentally says an innuendo when he tells James to "eat the seed". And later, James says "I just ate a lot of fuckin' seed." Cue zoom-in on Mike's grinning face.
* ''Peter Jackson's King Kong'' on [=PS2=]: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ_EALSEsTM&t=16m37s Mike getting really excited about Kong snapping a T-rex's neck.]] Followed by the two emitting a chest-beating roar.

* The duo play ''Blue's Journey'' and are utterly perplexed by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRismnm3KFY&t=17m23s the ending]], especially since they're not given enough time to read the text. [[labelnote:Note]](for the record, [[http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/neogeo/b/blue.htm here]] are all the different endings)[[/labelnote]]
* ''Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow over Mystara'': Mike doing Creator/WilliamShatner as Creator/JackNicholson in ''Film/TheShining'', then following it up with ''[[Creator/PaulReubens Pee Wee Herman]]'' doing Jack.

* While playing ''A Week with Garfield'', Mike has an AskAStupidQuestion moment where he (seemingly non-sarcastically) asks James if he can think of any bad games that got released on NES.

* For ''Wario's Woods,'' James and Mike try to figure out the whole gameplay, since they hadn't played the game beforehand. After a match, James tries to explain how to get a bomb to match up with a tall column of monsters that have the same color, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-sYZiMR054&t=19m23s in a similar fashion to]] [[Film/BacktotheFuture Doc Brown]], causing Mike to laugh just trying to understand what he's saying.

* The last few minutes of ''Haunting Starring Polterguy'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veh8nMaDFyU&t=20m30s had Mike putting on a Halloween mask.]] Mike joked that it was a "Sylvester Stallone mask" but James took it seriously and was baffled why it looked nothing like him, all while Mike laughed himself silly at James's priceless reaction.

* Mike describing ''Knuckles Chaotix'' as a video game "for crazy people".

* ''Solomon's Key'': At the very end, Mike sets James up for his catchphrase but James doesn't catch on at first:

* ''Brutal DOOM'': Laughing about how the demons want to "fuck your ass for a million years".

* When the duo played ''Lords of Thunder'', they went off on a tangent about Hell and Satan while they're playing a stage with a fire background. Mike thinks it would be cool to be one of "Satan's dudes", hanging out playing poker. ''(in demonic voice)'' "YEAH, I'LL BE OVER FRIDAY NIGHT." And then segue into which game system Satan would probably play. James guesses [=CDi=]; Mike thinks he would make you watch him play ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3''.

* ''F-Zero: The Revenge'': The duo note that one of the hazards in the game looks like pizza bagels, which leads to the topic of Michelangelo's bad taste in pizza, and whether he would eat a Bagel Bite.

* ''Shinobi 3'': James wonders how the game can possibly top itself after a giant EldritchAbomination boss partway through the game- Mike says [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK-cA9c_1sU the final boss]] is "just, like, a dude".

* ''Super C'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2h6Lu7LM_c No Shots Fired]]: The moment at 3:36 when James struggles to keep from laughing when Mike's jumping around tons of bullets, and eventually can't help but crack up.

* The SNES Variety Pack had a part where they played ''The Flintstones: Treasure of the Sierra Madrock''. Spurred by the title, James mentions that he wants to see ''Film/TheTreasureOfTheSierraMadre''. Mike then asks if James wanted to ask Humphrey Bogart if he ever played the ''Flintstones'' game. Until James looked it up, both are unaware that Bogart died over 30 years before the SNES made its debut, ''and'' three years before ''The Flintstones'' was even a thing.

* James and Mike [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-N57HgLqCA break out the infamous Power Glove and U-Force]]. What follows are exercises in frustration and hilarity as they try to play ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'', ''VideoGame/{{Castlevania|I}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Gauntlet}}'', and as the cherry on the sundae, '''''VideoGame/DrJekyllAndMrHyde'''''.

* James and Mike playing ''Super Mario 4 Rambo'', which is merely a hack of the Japanese ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels Mario 2]]'' and the only difference is that Mario's name is Rambo. This leads them to contemplate what his full name is now. It's either Rambo Mario or Rambo Rambo (an allusion to ''Film/SuperMarioBros'' where his full name was Mario Mario).

[[folder:2013 & earlier]]
* The two [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy373DpKGAE having a look]] at the ''Victormaxx Stuntmaster'' and being dumbfounded by the inclusion of papers that resemble someone's resume. Mike equates it to being like if ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI'' came with [[Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto Shigeru Miyamoto's]] birth certificate.

* In their playthrough of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda'' on the original Famicom, James killed Pols Voices by shouting "[[PrecisionFStrike FUCK]]" into the second controller's microphone.

-->'''Mike:''' It's like, who fuckin' cares?

** Prior to playing ''Highlander'', they played ''Hover Strike'', a game where you play as a "tank on the [[Franchise/StarWars Death Star]] shooting oranges", as Mike put it.

* Taboo the Sixth Sense: "I see shitty games!"

* ''The Rocketeer'': James and Mike discussing about making a fart album. Just.. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZcQ2-FIRws&t=18m37s the entire part]].

* "Hey James, my CD-i's better than ''yours''. Are you jealous?"

* ''Battletoads'': When Bootsy is on the Terra Tubes level:

--> '''James''': You mean, like 24 hours of everything that that was ever shown? Like, of all time?
