Line #30 Awesome/Videogamedunkey


1	* Though his videos are more intended for humor than showcasing actual gameplay skill, he seems to actually be good at VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends. For example:
2	** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI4shM8NlR0 Escape From Hell]], Dunkey and his team's Nunu alone kill all five members of the other team while Dunkey freestyles.
3	** Though it was almost certainly luck since he seemed to be using it for a creep kill instead, in the same video he gets a kill by using the Darius Q just as Lee Sin was getting ready to jump in on him.
4	** In general, despite his frequent trolling manners, Dunkey actually has the playing skill to compensate for his goofing, as evidenced by the many many times he completely own a multiplayer match.
5	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfO1XhRob3c While Dunkey sings]] [[Music/TheWall "Another Brick in the Wall Pt 2"]], ''he's actually in first place the whole time.'' Even when [[CarefulWithThatAxe the game fails to register his screaming]].
6	** Hell, he's in the top 10 for ''almost the whole video''. Damn impressive for someone deliberately changing the lyrics.
7	* In his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4niIKg5pzI RUST]] video, he kills an obnoxious griefer who keeps running around and screaming. This happens [[RuleOfThree three times in the video,]] but the greatest part is Dunkey's BondOneLiner after killing the guy at the end one more time.
8	-->'''Griefer''': I have my die move, motherfucker, you can't even get meee--
9	-->[[CurbStompBattle (Dunkey one-shots him)]]
10	-->'''Dunkey's friend''': Hah, you got him!
11	-->'''Dunkey:''' Well...it was a good thing I brought my KILL move, then.
12	-->(DIRECTED BY ACTION BAY)
13	* Him having the will to (albeit obviously jokingly) criticize and pan [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime what many people call the best game of all time.]]
14	** And again when he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2EZZVW7jjQ criticizes]] [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity another critically lauded game]] with surprisingly valid points.
15	** Not to mention when he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTsBn36yPrg panned]] [[VideoGame/TheLastOfUs what's been called one of the best games of the generation]] hard, launching many a TakeThat against video game review outlets for praising the game's narratives, even ending the video with "I give it a ten, because I'm a fucking idiot."
16	* As of June 2014, '''Dunkey has finally hit one million subscribers'''.
17	* Dunkey making a triumphant return to Twitter after a long hiatus.
18	* The "Dunkey Dance" video, which consists of Dunkey playing music on a boombox and dancing in the street while getting other passersby to join him. It's awesome in a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments feel-good]] way.
19	* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTAoTeUpKnI "Da Sims"]], the Grim Reaper pays a visit, only to [[{{Jerkass}} steal Kanye's dad's mac-and-cheese and trash it for no good reason]]. Dunk refuses to let this slip, and eventually gets his comeuppance when he hosts a party and the Grim Reaper makes the fateful decision to stop by. Dunk makes adult Kanye get on top of the Reaper and ''break his neck''. That's right - Dunkey '''killed Death itself'''.
20	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n83K-cHHg4 "Youtubers"]] is one part lighthearted mockery of popular let's players, one part completely ''destroying'' certain unsavory [=YouTubers=] with decidedly un-lighthearted mockery.
21	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl72woucC7g&feature=youtu.be&t=21s One time]], Dunk was on a Skype call with a group including his friend Sky Williams and a new person that they'd added, and this new person ended up [[BerserkButton calling Leah a bitch]]. Dunk ''immediately'' told him to "get the [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] off the call", and told him again when the person tried saying it was a joke. Sky even says how shocking this was for him since Dunk is normally a really nice person.
22	* The final fight in Congo Jungle in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2fcSWvJ3wI Ultimate Smash Bruddas]] between Dunkey and Sky Williams (yes, [[LateArrivalSpoiler the one time where Dunkey beat Sky in Smash]]), just based on how ''nail-bitingly intense'' it was. That fight alone provided a thrill that could give most action movies a run for their money, considering how ''into'' it both players were, with Dunkey repeatedly screaming "JUST FUCKING DIE!" to Sky.
23	** Whenever Dunk falls off the edge of the level but gets saved by a barrel that happens to be shooting up. Special note goes to the moment where Sky (who was Yoshi) deliberately positioned himself at the edge, ate Dunkey, and lays him as an egg that immediately falls off the side of the level. Not only does Dunk manage to break out of the egg, but he jumps and ''lands in an up-shooting barrel''. A beauteous mix of luck, skill, and awesome.
24	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjzgbZL12VI I'm Done With League of Legends]], a video probably more hard-hitting than any of his diss videos ("Final Boss", "Youtubers", etc.) because it's directed towards Riot about how much ''[=LoL=]'' is becoming a progressively less likable game to play for him, and how he feels that getting his account banned just on the grounds of trash talking (which he describes as one of the only fun things to do in "this boring-ass game") is supreme bullshit, to say the least. He's obviously really angry, but the way he cordially and calmly talks about things is probably one of the coolest things he's ever done.
25	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6uTKPwVnNI THE JONTRON RANT]] is one big TakeThat towards the drama that occurred between the [=YouTube=] channels [=LeafyIsHere=] and [=h3h3productions=] in March of 2016, and it acts as a much needed break from the actual drama.
26	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3HFEeC3_E Worst Hanzo Ever]] can basically be summarized as a montage of Dunkey kicking ass in ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}''. What makes it even better is that despite his teammates telling him that they don't need a certain hero on their team, Dunkey ''still'' manages to clean house as said hero, proving them wrong.
27	** Another Overwatch video, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wv6okd57t8 Hamston Checks Out]]", involves Dunkey as [[{{Malaproper}} Hamston]] not only doing his usual shenanigans, but also getting some Play of the Game worthy plays, like a triple bowling kill on Route 66 even if he goes [[TakingYouWithMe off the cliff]].
28	* Any of his semi-serious rap songs (ex: "Overpowered", "Achievements") where he shows [[HiddenDepths genuine talent]] at rapping to the point that many believe he outdoes several actual rappers in the game.
29	** 1:28 in "Achievements". The lyrics are one thing (considering Dunkey's talking about how the USA should fix its economic problems from sending huge armies overseas by sending [[OneManArmy only him]] to kill people for free), but the ''flow'' is incredible.
30	* '''The second verse of "Final Boss"'''. [[https://youtu.be/NyWwRivr1wE After a humorously nonsensical first verse]] in Dunkey's traditional sense of humor, the beat switches for the [[https://youtu.be/NyWwRivr1wE?t=1m12s second half]] and Dunkey basically takes shots at the entire ''League'' community on [=YouTube=]. In less than 2 minutes. It's safe to say that Dunkey earned a ''lot'' of respect from that video.
31	* In his ''PUBG'' video, Dunkey successfully takes out an entire squad of three players ''by himself''. Did he sneak behind them and kill them when they weren't looking? Nope, Dunkey made a full frontal assault and killed everyone. See for yourself [[https://youtu.be/JWD1fanD0ZI?t=148 here]].
32	* Dunkey's [[https://youtu.be/8qGCleYV4cw?t=3m44s incredible saving maneuver]] in his ''VideoGame/GettingOverItWithBennettFoddy'' video.
33	* [[https://youtu.be/Mxv9AM397Y8?t=5m26s His final rematch with Nergigante]] in his ''[[VideoGame/MonsterHunter Monster Hunter: World]]'' video, with him learning from his previous attempts against it and managing to dodge all of its OneHitKO attacks that killed him before. The best part has to be where he tracks it to where it's sleeping and manages to damage it with exploding barrels ''and'' also managing to damage one of its horns.
34	* Following the partially relatable, partially gutbusting "I'm Done Making Good Videos", Dunkey began uploading purposefully clickbaity videos on a daily basis. The awesome comes in when the realization hits; he's doing this to expose just how much [=YouTube=]'s algorithms favors quantity over quality, to the point that his channel's views have shot up by ''344%'' since he started, as well as passive-aggressively ''tearing'' into Youtubers commonly accused of clickbait and pandering such as Ali-A, Jake Paul, etc. He's even ended up on the ''trending page'', meaning he has successfully tricked Youtube into ''recommending videos that mock its algorithm.''
35	* On August 12, 2021 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVK-XvZEymc Dunkey hosted a fake listening party]] claiming to have a copy of [[Music/KanyeWest Kanye West's]]upcoming album ''Donda'', but all of the tracks were really just meme music. One of the tracks was the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4QeypcBMyQ Globglogabgalab]] song from WesternAnimation/StrawinskyAndTheMysteriousHouse. [[https://youtu.be/m5P24B-s7ks?t=478 On August 26, 2021]] Kanye himself hosted the third ''real' listening party for ''Donda'' and played the Globglogabgalab's song for a full stadium, seemingly in reference to Dunkey's video. Given that Dunkey seems to be a big Kanye fan and enjoys creating his own raps, having his silly meme recognized by either Kanye himself or someone on Kanye's team is a pretty big deal. Doubles as a Crowning Moment of Funny for something so absurd to go so far.
36	* In his Metroid Dread review, Dunkey jokes about the parry mechanic, stating that the game was directed by Joe Perry of Music/{{Aerosmith}} fame. The ''Aerosmith youtube page'' commented on the video and voiced approval of the joke.
37	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXqHtF4I3M8 100 Movie Recommendations in One Minute]] - [[SilenceIsGolden No need for words, or any sound at all;]] just 100 different half-seconds from 100 different movies. Both an awesomely unique recommendation list and a visually wonderful celebration of cinema in its own right.
38	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEt27Jgp8gs The announcement video for Dunkey & Leah' brand new game publishing company, Bigmode]]. You have to admit that, after more than a decade simply playing and reviewing games, seeing them deciding to involve themselves even further in the gaming world is really cool.
39	** A lot of people initially expressed skepticism over Bigmode's chances of success in the video game industry, with many in particular mocking Dunkey's claim that Bigmode would "only publish good games". They were forced to eat their words when Bigmode's first game, ''Animal Well'' debuted to near-universal critical acclaim and hit the top of Steam's trending page, with some even considering it ''a game of the year contender''. Dunkey's achieved a lot of incredible things over the years, but publishing a successful video game ''on his very first try'' might just top the list.
