History VideoGame / DikembeMutombosFourAndAHalfWeeksToSaveTheWorld

* ChainReactionDestruction: All the bosses, accompanied by the screen fading to white.

---> ''Strip malls, fast food chains and home improvement centers are clogging the veins leading to the heart of America.''

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: In the epilogue video, Dikembe realizes that [[spoiler:he's only put off the end of the world for another 15 months as Science The Bear explains it to him.]]

* DeliciousFruitPies: Subverted in "The Blurgpocalypse". The action stops so that Dikembe and a young boy can reminisce on the closing of Hostess (complete with a song and a lamentation about how delicious they are), but it doesn't factor into the rest of the level.

* ProductPlacement: For Old Spice body deodorant.

** This was originally a clip that is now only available on the Old Spice YouTube page. It has been replaced with the Week Six cutscene, which has the same spoiler, but much further into the cutscene.

* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: In "The Great 2012 Dance Crisis", Dikembe is tasked with throwing ballots at voters to stop them from dancing to an ersatz version of {{Music/PSY}}'s Gangnam Style... except that the beat is infectiously catchy, and it's often easy to continue playing the level just to hear the song loop over again and again.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Given that the game is heavily dependent on 2012 trends (the U.S. fiscal cliff, the state of Florida constantly accruing errors in the voting process, Kate Middleton's pregnancy and the closing of Hostess), it falls into this category.

* LostForever:
** The game itself, possibly. See UnPerson below.

The game was played at [=OldSpiceSavesTheWorld=].com, but is now just a redirect to the main Old Spice website, with external embeds no longer working, either. The game has been unoficially archived at the wiki-unfriendly URL [=http://kbhgames.com/8790/old-spice-|-dikembe-mutombos-4-1-2-weeks-to-save-the-world/=] minus the finale, which you can watch [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb0rlnagj4k here]] after you've earned it.

* BigNO: Dikembe in "The Last Game We May Ever Play?", when [[spoiler:Science The Bear dies]].

* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: Dikembe takes the time to mention that his movie date with Science is completely platonic.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: The (now complete) calendar carving screen after entering your initials after ''any'' stage now plays a new epilogue cutscene after leaving it for a couple of seconds. Said cutscene blatantly references the ending, spoiling it for any first-time players.

* LostForever: The game itself, possibly. See UnPerson below.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Although not mentioned by name, the "South Korean dance craze", as well as the background music, referred to in "The Great 2012 Dance Crisis" is intended to be this to South Korean popstar {{Music/PSY}}'s monster hit "Gangnam Style".

* UnPerson: Old Spice seems to be trying to do this to the game itself, as of this writing. A mere couple of weeks after the game was finished, the website containing the game now redirects to the main Old Spice website. If you try to play the game embedded on an external site, the actual data for the game itself has been removed. And to top it off, their [=YouTube=] channel has made all videos related to the game private, making them unlisted and unwatchable by anyone. This may have something to do with the game [[UnintentionalPeriodPiece covering topics that are no longer relevant]].
