| 6 | [[AC: Top 10 Most Annoying Bosses (2010)]] |
| 7 | * "You think [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] has a [[MarathonBoss lot of HP]]? You thought wrong. Yiazmat from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' has much more than Sephiroth. Do you know how long it took me to beat this boss? Four hours. '''''[[SuddenlyShouting FOUR.]] [[PrecisionFStrike F**KING.]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis HOURS!]]'''''" |
| 8 | |
| 9 | [[AC: Top 15 Craziest Characters]] |
| 10 | * Josh makes a quick note of [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Sheogorath's]] [[MemeticMutation famous line]]: |
| 11 | --> '''Sheogorath''': CHEESE FOR EVERYONE! |
| 12 | --> ''{{Beat}}'' |
| 13 | --> '''Josh''': Sweet! |
| 14 | * "Albedo (of ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'') is [[{{Understatement}} a little on the insane side]]. Even [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall the URL address where I found this clip]] realizes that he's whacko!" , with said address having what can be described as an e_o emoticon in it. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | [[AC: Top 10 Video Game Endings]] |
| 17 | * Josh builds up the hype for the number 1 slot. Then... this happens. |
| 18 | --> '''Josh:''' ...VideoGame/MassEffect3 - [[InterfaceScrew *static interrupt*]] |
| 19 | --> '''[[Creator/TheAutarch Alex]]:''' *sings the {{Troll}} song, with soundtrack provided by LetsPlay/RabbidLuigi* |
| 20 | --> '''Josh:''' [[HaHaHaNo Ahahahaha]], [[SoundEffectBleep f---]] [[TakeThat no.]] |
| 21 | |
| 22 | [[AC: Top 15 Worst Video Game Cliches]] |
| 23 | * When it comes to Button Mashing, Chewie blatantly said 'VideoGame/DynastyWarriors is a Button Masher'. [[BerserkButton Josh went apeshit]] and starts choking Chewie (though censored via RelaxOVision), that the Autarch of Flame had to force him sit down behind the couch, all while Josh lamentingly rambled, "[[MadnessMantra It's not a Button Masher! It's not a Button Masher!!]]" |
| 24 | -->'''Chewie:''' ...like ''Dynasty Warriors''.\ |
| 25 | '''Josh:''' Say ''what?''\ |
| 26 | '''Chewie:''' ''Dynasty Warriors'' is a button masher.\ |
| 27 | '''Josh:''' ({{beat}}) ...[[TranquilFury I am going to kill you,]] ''(lunges at Chewie)'' '''''[[SuddenlyShouting YOU SON OF A--]]'''''\ |
| 28 | ''(static interrupt with RelaxOVision music, when we come back Josh is nowhere to be seen and Chewie is panting heavily)''\ |
| 29 | '''[[Creator/TheAutarch Alex]]:''' [[MoodWhiplash Sorry about that, let's move on]].\ |
| 30 | '''Josh:''' ''(from behind the couch)'' ''[[MadnessMantra It's not a Button Masher!]]'' '''''[[MadnessMantra It's not a Button Masher!!]]'''''\ |
| 31 | '''Alex:''' '''[[BigShutUp QUIET!]]''' |
| 32 | * From the Cover Systems segment: |
| 33 | -->'''Chewie:''' I don't know, I really don't mind though.\ |
| 34 | '''Josh:''' But it's so unrealistic, I mean, getting a perfect headshot without seeing him at all, the moment he puts his head out... that's ''stupid!''\ |
| 35 | '''Chewie:''' [[BullyingADragon How the hell would you know?]] ''{[[OhCrap Alex, knowing what's coming, tries to stop Chewie to no avail]])'' [[TooDumbToLive Why don't you join the]] ''[[BerserkButton actual Army]]'' [[TooDumbToLive and find out]]?\ |
| 36 | '''Josh:''' ''(DeathGlare)'' [[TranquilFury Alex, number transition]].\ |
| 37 | '''Alex:''' ''(with "ThisIsGonnaSuck" expression)'' Number transition?\ |
| 38 | '''Josh:''' ''(nods)'' Number transition. ''(lunges at Chewie)''\ |
| 39 | ''(both scream while Alex pulls the number transition clip over them)'' |
| 40 | |
| 41 | [[AC: Top 10 Worst Kingdom Hearts Bosses]] |
| 42 | * The return of Josh's '''[[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER!]]''' joke from his Magical Mystery Cure review (referring to [[ClippedWingAngel Jafar's lack thereof]]). |
| 43 | |
| 44 | [[AC: Top 10 Scariest Nostalgic Moments]] |
| 45 | * Two moments involving playing with TemptingFate. |
| 46 | ** Here's the first one: |
| 47 | --> '''Josh''': ''*discussing WesternAnimation/PoohsGrandAdventure*'' Seriously, saying 'Skullosaurus' was worse than saying '[[TemptingFate what could possibly go wrong?]]'. |
| 48 | --> '''Caption''': ''*appears*'' Creator/{{Disney}} bought Franchise/StarWars. |
| 49 | --> '''Josh''': ''*DoubleTake, followed by FacePalm*'' [[BorrowedCatchphrase Oh, bother...]] |
| 50 | ** And the other: |
| 51 | --> '''Josh''': ''*discussing Film/{{Jumanji}}*'' It was based off a relatively harmless book, and starred Creator/RobinWilliams of all people. [[TemptingFate What could possibly go wrong?]] |
| 52 | --> '''Picture''': ''*[[TakeThat shows cover for]] VideoGame/ResidentEvil6*'' |
| 53 | --> '''Josh''': ''*{{Beat}}, followed by a much louder FacePalm*'' |
| 54 | * The lead up to number 5. |
| 55 | -->'''Josh:''' Hey everybody, why don't we watch [[WesternAnimation/WatershipDown a movie about bunnies]]? [[TemptingFate Yeah, and I'm sure that it'll be nice, and wholesome, and cute, and--]]\ |
| 56 | (SmashCut to a montage of [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids the goriest and most child-scarring moments]] of ''WesternAnimation/WatershipDown'' set to the ''Film/{{Psycho}}'' [[PsychoStrings theme]])\ |
| 57 | '''Josh:''' (''{{Beat}}'') '''''WHAT THE''''' '''''[[CurseCutShort FU--]]''''' |
| 58 | [[AC: Top 10 Music Battles]] |
| 59 | * When Josh picks the Goof-Off from "Pinkie Pride" as number 7, people get mad at it, going mad with rage. |
| 60 | |
| 61 | [[AC: Top 10 Stupid Awesome Games]] |
| 62 | * His ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' entry. |
| 63 | -->'''Josh''': We can smash people with a skyscraper on a stick and be like 'Okay'. We can have classically inspired gods fight off [[Franchise/StarTrek the Borg]] and be like 'Heheh, that's cool'! We can have Japanese food be in a heavily Greek inspired game and be like ''''''[[{{Angrish}} GGGGGGYYYY]][[DemonicSpiders ARGHNNNNGH!!!]]'''''' |
| 64 | |
| 65 | [[AC: Top 10 Evil Video Game Characters]] |
| 66 | * Josh's intro for Number Two. |
| 67 | -->'''Josh''': Pop quiz! What happens when you take Website/FourChan but you multiply its acts of chaos by ten? Well, you get 8chan but you can also get [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Yuuki Terumi]]. |
| 68 | ** Right before this, Josh asks "Who could be worse than [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Kefka]]?" |
| 69 | * Josh spends most of Terumi's entry talking about how how trolling has been linked to general evil behavior. |
| 70 | -->'''Josh:''' Psychopathy. *video cuts to [[{{Memes/Blazblue}} QUALITY GONZO ANIMATION]] of Terumi laughing* [[SuddenlyShouting DOES THIS LOOK LIKE]] [[LaughingMad THE FACE OF MERCY]] [[SuddenlyShouting TO YOU?!]] |
| 71 | * Josh says that picking between Terumi and his choice for Number One was like picking between Satan and Lucifer. Cue: |
| 72 | -->'''[[Creator/TheAutarch Alex]]''': Congratulations. [[{{Troll}} You just said that.]] |
| 73 | -->'''Josh''': [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I know, right. That's how hard this was.]] |
| 74 | * While ranting about [[VideoGame/MegaManZero Dr. Weil]], Josh notices something. |
| 75 | -->'''Josh''': So if [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Terumi]] is 8chan, then [[VideoGame/MegaManZero Dr. Weil]] is Tumblr. Crazy libertarian versus crazy authoritarian. Take notes, both suck. [[TakeThat Yay, politics!]] |
| 76 | |
| 77 | [[AC: Top 10 Games I Want To Like]] |
| 78 | * Josh freaking out when he can't get the circle action in ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'' to work. |
| 79 | -->"FREAKING CIRCLES, WHY WON'T YOU WORK?!!!" |
| 80 | * Josh [[https://youtu.be/L_iclyvmOuQ?t=759 gushing over]] what he likes about Undertale is a sight to behold! |
| 81 | -->''This segment of Top Ten Games I Want to Like has been cancelled, because Josh went insane... Even more so than usual.'' |
| 82 | |
| 83 | [[AC: Top 10 First Bosses]] |
| 84 | * Josh noting that games like ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' could use a button to [[ShutUpHannibal make the villain]] [[VideoGame/AsurasWrath shut the hell up.]] |
| 85 | -->'''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII Xemnas]]:''' "No matter what you think, what you feel, or-" |
| 86 | -->'''Sora:''' *as the [[VideoGame/MassEffect2 Renegade Interrupt]] sound plays* "Just give it a rest." |
| 87 | -->"SHOT THROUGH THE HEART!" |
| 88 | |
| 89 | [[AC: Top 10 Educational Games]] |
| 90 | * Josh commanding [[LargeHam Mr.]] [[Creator/TheAutarch Rochon]] to activate the "Orbital Nostalgia Cannon". |
| 91 | --> '''[[Creator/TheAutarch Alex]]:''' "Command received! Activating Orbital Nostalgia Cannon!" |
| 92 | * Josh lip syncing and dancing to the theme song for ''Series/WhereInTimeIsCarmenSandiego''. |
| 93 | * "The Humongous" [[labelnote:Explanation]] All of the Creator/HumongousEntertainment characters as Avengers. |
| 94 | * Josh's initial explanation for VideoGame/OregonTrail? |
| 95 | --> '''Josh:''' You have died of dysentery. Next number! |
| 96 | |
| 97 | [[AC: Top 10 Scary Atmospheres]] |
| 98 | * His Halloween costume: [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil Albert Wesker]]. Especially the moments when he gets into character for it. |
| 99 | * His description of the hiding moments in ''VideoGame/AlienIsolation'' is both this and NightmareFuel. |
| 100 | -->'''Josh:''' Hearing Ripley try to silence her rapid breaths and beating heart, and listening to the music slowly build its dissonant chords to an intense peak, and praying to whatever deity is out there that the Alien will not move towards this particular locker, and ''TRY NOT TO '''FREAK THE F*CK OUT!''''' |
| 101 | [[/labelnote]] |
| 102 | |
| 103 | [[AC: Top 10 Influential Games ft [=RabbidLuigi=]]] |
| 104 | * The video begins with RL introducing the topic and Josh trying to interject but to no avail. |
| 105 | |
| 106 | [[AC: Top 10 Musician Fighters]] |
| 107 | * His first entry is Apollo from VideoGame/{{Smite}}, which he promptly uses to make a HurricaneOfPuns, complete with a counter. The counter even gets sick of it. |
| 108 | -->'''Josh''': ...what am I doing?\ |
| 109 | '''Music Pun Counter''': THAT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION THERE, JOSH. YOU TELL ME. |
| 110 | * Number six on the list is Demyx. Given his previously documented opinion of him, he doesn't like talking about him, and the reasons for such slip into his explanation of it. Every time he raises his voice, he's either cut off by [[WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties the game over screen & a 90s modum sound]], or the next shot. When the entry is over... |
| 111 | -->'''Josh''': If I ''ever'' have to talk about him again, I am going to dance with water...\ |
| 112 | [''picture of Josh in the bathtub with a toaster'']\ |
| 113 | '''Josh''': ...''[[DrivenToSuicide and a]]'' '''[[DrivenToSuicide TOASTER]]'''! |
| 114 | * Number five (Jimmy the Bard from VideoGame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth) ends with a discussion of the BrownNote (complete with bringing up Website/ThisVeryWiki) and Josh noting how [[TemptingFate musicians can't really get any more vulger than that]]. Cue Number 4... |
| 115 | -->'''[[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Zed]]''': VANILLA SLUT! |
| 116 | -->'''Josh''': [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh, heavens, I spoke too soon]]... |
| 117 | * Number three is [[VideoGame/HeroesoftheStorm ETC]]. At the end, he makes mention of the above HurricaneOfPuns and discusses why he didn't do it with ETC. |
| 118 | -->'''Josh''': Oh, uh, side note. You know how in the Apollo segment I made a [[IncrediblyLamePun whole bunch of cringey puns?]] **{{Beat}}** Here, ETC does it for me. |
| 119 | |
| 120 | [[AC: Top 29 Injustice 2 Finishers]] |
| 121 | * His first entry is Wonder Woman's finisher, which, needless to say, he is not very happy with. |
| 122 | -->'''Josh''': Just gonna watch the [[Film/WonderWoman2017 movie]] again. That was awesome! |
| 123 | * Number 18 on the list is Cheetah's finisher. |
| 124 | -->'''Josh''': Hi, [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Vega]]! |
| 125 | |
| 126 | [[AC: Top 5 Best And Worst Mario Party Minigames]] |
| 127 | * Josh decides to spruce up Rudder Madness with Music/DragonForce, flashy text emphasizing the bridge, and an explosion. |
| 128 | |
| 129 | [[AC: Top 10 Potential Warriors Games]] |
| 130 | * The introduction to the list is a substantial ShoutOut to [[WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged a certain Major.]] |
| 131 | -->'''Josh''': "Gentlemen, there is a rumor going around that I like Warriors. I wish to dash these rumors. I do not 'like' Warriors. I. ''LOVE''. Warriors. Through my life, I have discovered so many types of Warriors. Butchering Chinese history with particle effects - VideoGame/DynastyWarriors. Dancing around in a green tunic fighting some tart in a dragon costume - VideoGame/HyruleWarriors. Everyone has a sword, dyes their hair blue, [[TakeThat and likes to argue about which era of games deserves better representation]] - VideoGame/FireEmblemWarriors. Life is hell - [[VideoGame/BerserkAndTheBandOfTheHawk Berserk Warriors]]. |
| 132 | |
| 133 | [[AC: Top 14 Organization XIII Members]] |
| 134 | * Josh is just as surprised as everyone else that [[NotHisSled Demyx is NOT the worst member of the Organization.]] |
| 135 | -->'''Josh''': ''Wait a second!'' *double-checks list* Why is Demyx not at the bottom [of the list]?! I hate him more than any other character on this list! Ari, I requested a rewrite! |
| 136 | -->'''Aramau''': And your request was denied. |
| 137 | -->'''Josh''': [[BigWhat WHAT?!]] |
| 138 | -->'''Aramau''': Honey, it's your job to be fair and objective. Is he fleshed out more than the other characters? |
| 139 | -->'''Josh''': ... Well, sort of, but- |
| 140 | -->'''Aramau''': Despite the quality of his battle, was he at least memorable? |
| 141 | -->'''Josh''': ... Well, yeah, but- |
| 142 | -->'''Aramau''': Is his appearance unique and interesting? |
| 143 | -->'''Josh''': *considers this* ... Well, okay, his mullet is a little funny, but- |
| 144 | -->'''Aramau''': Doesn't the fact that he's a complete wimp make you interested in how he was able to join the Organization? |
| 145 | -->'''Josh''': (''{{Beat}}'') ... Oh, that's just not fair... |
| 146 | -->'''Aramau''': Deal with it, sweetheart. *flicks glasses* |
| 147 | |
| 148 | [[AC:Top 10 Kingdom Hearts Bosses]] |
| 149 | * Number 6 is Final Ansem, and Josh complains how if you wipe out during this boss fight, ''you have to start right from the beginning'' in a boss battle that takes roughly half and hour to beat, and that’s not including the unskippable cutscene (in the original game at least). |
| 150 | -->'''Josh:''' Have I mentioned how much I ''love'' skippable cutscenes?\ |
| 151 | (''A picture of “VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI 1.5 HD [=ReMIX=]” pops up'')\ |
| 152 | '''Josh:''' (''whispering'') Thank you… |
| 153 | |
| 154 | [[AC: Top 10 Gaming Scams]] |
| 155 | * The entry in regards of ''Call of Duty: Modern Warfare'', after all the lambasting of the shoddy business practices, in the end: |
| 156 | -->'''Josh''': I swear, if they pull this off with ''Modern Warfare 2''... [[HypocriticalHumor I'd probably gonna buy it.]] |
| 157 | -->'''[=ThatCreepyReading=]''': '''''[[WhatTheHellHero YOU'RE WHAT'S WRONG IN THE INDUSTRY, SCORCHER!!!]]''''' |
| 158 | |
| 159 | [[AC: Top 10 EA Fails]] |
| 160 | * What does he chose to put as transitions? Clips from [[MorallyBankruptBanker Kaneshiro's]] [[Videogame/Persona5 transformation]] and his stage theme, [[TakeThat of course!]] |
| 161 | * With the #3 entry on the list, he played a clip of the EA logo animated similarly to Pac-Man to highlight their gluttonous behavior. |
| 162 | -->'''Josh''': Wanna get the goodies faster? Pay up. Wanna get more of the story or the true ending? Check please. Need more stamina or an entire frigging dungeon!? (plays Pac-Man gag) Nom nom nom! Money tastes good! |
| 163 | * The #2 of the list, the EA Body Count, looks like a TearJerker as it is paying tribute to good companies that got bought out by EA and then shut down. But the ending... |
| 164 | -->'''Josh''': Please send your condolences to the nearby [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EB_Games EB Games]]... Ooh! Too soon? (awkward grin) |
| 165 | |
| 166 | [[AC: Top 10 Konami Fails]] |
| 167 | * For the duration of the video, Josh replaces his "Flutter-censor" with a clip of Creator/TheQuarterGuy saying "Konami". |
| 168 | * After his ''awesome'' scathing calling out at the #1 of the list, Josh actually gave credits to Konami that for all his calling out, Konami hasn't done one thing that they usually do when they get called out like this: having the video removed. [[TemptingFate Which faux-happened in the middle of Josh's compliment.]] |
| 169 | -->'''Josh''': Dangit! [[TemptingFate Tempted]] [[LampshadeHanging fate]]! |
| 170 | |
| 171 | [[AC: Top 10 Sony Fails 🦀]] |
| 172 | * When Sony presents their infamous GiantEnemyCrab during E3 2006, after advertising [[{{VideoGame/Genji}} Genji 2: Days of the Blade]] as a game with inspiration from factual and historical Japanse battles, this is Josh’s response: |
| 173 | -->'''Josh''': *Crab Rave song plays in the background* Ah yes, how could we forget about the battle of the Dancing Crab War of 2006? [[SarcasmMode A battle noble and glorious enough to inspire the beautiful memes of our time! So majestic...]] |
| 174 | * The entirety of Josh's #1 pick consists of other YouTubers reciting quotes from Sony executives showing their hubris in funny, mock voices, including [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] channeling [[Anime/DragonBallZ Perfect Cell]], Wambu doing his best [[WebVideo/Jerma985 Byeah]] impression and WebVideo/FawfulsMinion pulling an over-the-top Asian accent. |
| 175 | ** Creator/TheGreenScorpion momentarily breaks character to point out that after Jack Tretton claimed that he would place a $1200 bounty on any Platform/PlayStation3 that had been on store shelves for more than five minutes, ''WebComic/PennyArcade'' took them up on that bet. |
| 176 | |
| 177 | [[AC: Top 10 Capcom Fails (w/ [[Creator/TheQuarterGuy The Quarter Guy]])]] |
| 178 | * Josh makes a CallBack to the [=SimCity=] segment of his EA Fails list: |
| 179 | -->'''Josh''': [...] Especially if you happen to be deployed military on a nuclear submarine! Boy, am I never going to let that one go. |
| 180 | * His collab partner, The Quarter Guy, then chimes in to give some foreshadowing: |
| 181 | -->'''QG''': [[{{Foreshadowing}} You’re doing Microsoft Fails later, aren’t you?]] |
| 182 | -->'''Josh''': OH YEAH...! |
| 183 | * When discussing ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite'', Josh mentions the "characters as functions" argument Capcom put forth to justify excluding ComicBook/{{Magneto}} and grafting some of his moves onto ComicBook/{{Ultron}}. He compares it to taking Luigi out of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' and adding [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga Fawful]] in his place with Negative Zone. Immediately thereafter: |
| 184 | -->'''WebVideo/FawfulsMinion:''' ''I'' wouldn't mind that.\ |
| 185 | '''Josh and QG:''' No one asked you! |
| 186 | |
| 187 | [[AC: Top 10 Microsoft Fails]] |
| 188 | * Josh wonders who hijacked his script to place puns in the closing parts of numbers 5 (buying Rareware) and 4 (the Kinect). |
| 189 | * The way he started his Number 3 entry: |
| 190 | -->'''Smily-face guy''': Hey, there, you fine young gaming audience! Do you like video games? (Josh nods) That's absolutely fantastic! Do you like online distribution of your favorite video games? ''(Josh smiles deeply and plays clip of M.Bison shouting, "YES!")'' Absolutely fantastic. Do you like a service that is customer first, doesn't corrupt your save data, or have a user interface designed by Satan himself? ''(Josh looks confused)'' Well, tough [bleep]. ''(throws Microsoft symbol at Josh)'' There, sasafrass! You'll pay for what we give you! |
| 191 | * His opening skit for the penultimate segment featuring clips from the Harry Potter movies while saying the following in a dramatic voice: |
| 192 | -->'''Josh''': (low bellowing voice) A long time ago, in the mysterious year of 2013. The wizarding collage of Microsoft decided to announce their new colsole at the gathering of wizards known as E3. They were filled with laughter and excitement. But when the announcement came... *beat and thunderbolt* the crowds that drew whent silent. Looks of unease and hatred pierced the hearts of Microsoft as their excitement died. And despair rose. (normal voice with no more Harry Potter clips) And it all went downhill from there. |
| 193 | * His opening skit for the final segment has him running a brick stand where he throws out [[GoneHorriblyWrong bricked]] [[{{Platform/Xbox360}} Xbox 360 consoles]] to anybody who passes by his stand. |
| 194 | -->'''Josh''': Bricks here! Get your bricks here! Only $300 for a single brick! Oh, one brick for you, sir? Okay, take a brick! Okay we got one again! Hey, what about a brick for you, sir? Are you from one in the misses or one in the town? Okay, here! A brick for you, sir! Hey, a brick for you! A brick for you! Come and watch the big game! Maybe even play the big game, [[TakeThat but sorry, you can't play the big game]]! Okay, take a brick! |
| 195 | ** The end of the segment has his segment catching fire, presumably from all of the bricked models. |
| 196 | --->'''Josh''': I'm the Fiery Joker! *sees [[HouseFire his house is on fire]] with all of the consoles burning up with it* [[ImOkay This is fine.]] |
| 197 | |
| 198 | [[AC: Top Ten Franchise Killers]] |
| 199 | * Josh makes a number of potshots against [[Creator/ElectronicArts EA]] for how many franchises they killed that made his list: |
| 200 | -->'''Josh (Intro to [[VideoGame/UltimaIX Number 7]])''': Oh boy, [[{{VideoGame/Ultima}} an RPG franchise beloved by gamers of yesteryear]] and considered to be one of the greatest RPG franchises of all time just got a new publisher! Okay, let's see who they are! *The EA logo slowly walks into the video while Josh's excited expression changes to a concerned one.* [[OhCrap Uh-oh.]] |
| 201 | -->'''Josh ([[{{VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianTwilight}} Number 6]])''': ...and according to my research, apparently [[Creator/WestwoodStudios [Westwood Studios]]] was bought out by... *media clip of EA, represented by [[{{Characters/SpongeBobSquarePantsMrKrabs}} Mr. Krabs]] planting a "$1 Per Footstep" sign on the Krusty Krab and laughing as his customers are annoyed by him.* ...[[StopHavingFunGuys Why do you hate fun?]] |
| 202 | -->'''Josh (End of [[VideoGame/MedalofHonorWarfighter Number 3]])''': Fun fact: the team that made this game [[CallBack also made]] [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianTwilight Command & Conquer: Tiberian Twilight]]. I don't have a joke for that. That's just sad. |
| 203 | * His reasoning for not putting infamous franchise killer ''[[VideoGame/TonyHawksProSkater Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5]]'' also deserves a mention. |
| 204 | -->'''Josh''': And to all those wondering why ''Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5'' didn't make it on here, it didn't kill the franchise. [[DeaderThanDead It desecrated the corpse!]] |
| 205 | |
| 206 | [[AC: Top 10 Ubisoft Fails]] |
| 207 | * Starting from this 'Fails' countdown, Josh started a funny RunningGag where 'Top 10 Nintendo Fails' kept popping up, but Josh shooed it away saying that their time will come. Overall, it's played less of thinking that Nintendo could do no wrong and more 'Josh was [[SelfDeprecation self-deprecating]] himself for not doing such thing in his spare time'. |
| 208 | * Josh talks about the company's DRM software. |
| 209 | -->'''Josh''': Now, I won't advocate for piracy, as stealing is wro-- |
| 210 | -->[''shows a picture of uplay's logo''] |
| 211 | -->*beat* |
| 212 | -->'''Josh''': ''[[Series/LazyTown Yarr har fiddle dee dee\ |
| 213 | Being a pirate is alright to be\ |
| 214 | Do what you want cause a pirate is free\ |
| 215 | You are a pirate!]]'' |
| 216 | ** '''RIP LIMEWIRE''' |
| 217 | ** The logo for "The Pirate Bay" is flying around as well for good measure. |
| 218 | * The ending skit also deserves a mention: |
| 219 | -->'''Josh''': I’m the Fiery Joker, and- |
| 220 | -->[''shows a ticket saying [[DownloadableContent “You must purchase ending gag DLC for $5.99.”]] Josh then pulls the ticket down with a scared expression on his face.''] |
| 221 | -->'''Josh''': [[{{Foreshadowing}} Oh no, next month’s]] Creator/{{Bethesda}}... |
| 222 | -->'''KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOM!''' |
| 223 | * He compares ''Tetris Ultimate'' to "trying to reinvent the wheel when the wheel worked just as well as it always had! ... Somehow, Ubisoft's new wheel rolled like a ''brick''!" |
| 224 | |
| 225 | [[AC: Top 10 Bethesda Fails]] |
| 226 | * After talking about the infamous horse armor dlc for ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion'', he cuts to Firebrand wearing said armor. |
| 227 | -->'''Firebrand''': This is both uncomfortable and gaudy. Also, it... pinches in... places. Wait, no no NO NO NO!!\ |
| 228 | ''[He falls over]'' |
| 229 | * Following up the Ubisoft's ending skit, after pondering what's next in the end, Josh suddenly gets zapped into having AnimeHair and... |
| 230 | -->'''Josh''': [[{{Foreshadowing}} Oh no, next month’s]] {{Creator/Square|Enix}}... |
| 231 | -->'''KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOM!''' |
| 232 | |
| 233 | [[AC:Top Ten SEGA Fails]] |
| 234 | * The thumbnail of the video. It's basically Josh censoring [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Sonic and Elise]] kissing with a chalkboard written with text "[[NoYay There will be NO smut on]] ''[[NoYay this]]'' [[NoYay channel!]]" |
| 235 | * Regarding Entry #9: "...and what does Sega actually care for?" |
| 236 | ---> '''[[WesternAnimation/TheLittleDrummerBoy Commander Brutus]]:''' ''[[VillainSong Money! Money! Money! It's the gold and silver itch!]]'' |
| 237 | * After acknowledging that everyone and their cat has ragged on ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Sonic '06]]'' already, he decides to sing about the game to the tune of ''[[Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance I Am the Very Model of a]] [[MajorGeneralSong Modern Major-General]]'', and it very well could convince you that [[TheHyena you're on Fiery Joker toxin]]. |
| 238 | |
| 239 | [[AC: Top Ten Activision Fails]] |
| 240 | * The ending where after reaming out Activision for all the lawsuits they have been involved in. He notices it snowing outside and "Let It Snow" starts playing. He then switches from righteously angry to surprisingly happy when he says next month's Blizzard. |
| 241 | |
| 242 | [[AC:Top 10 Video Games Like ''TableTopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'']] |
| 243 | * Josh describes the basics of each popular D&D module: |
| 244 | ** ''TabletopGame/TombOfHorrors'', the one for tryhards. |
| 245 | ** ''TabletopGame/CurseOfStrahd'', the one if you're edgy (especially funny since he's livestreamed him and other brony youtubers streaming that exact module) |
| 246 | ** ''TabletopGame/TyrannyOfDragons'', the one for those who think they're playing ''Skyrim'' |
| 247 | ** ''[[TabletopGame/BaldursGateDescentIntoAvernus Descent into Avernus]]'', ''[clip from Film/MadMaxFuryRoad]'' |
| 248 | * The Ending. |
| 249 | -->''I'm the Fiery Joker and I cast Fireball! (fizzling sound) [[EpicFail Nat 1.]]'' |
| 250 | |
| 251 | [[AC:Top Ten Blizzard FAILS]] |
| 252 | * After Josh gives his introductory statement, he plays a series of cutscenes from various Blizzard games with Overwatch music over it, and it seems like this will be his number transition at first. What does he decide to go with instead? [[MoodWhiplash Junkrat and Roadhog getting kicked out of a garage!]] HA! |
| 253 | * While in the middle of talking on how Blizzard's pandering tends to backfire at times, Josh suddenly blurts out a rather clever pun-based joke that just happens to coincidence with a political term and computer term: |
| 254 | -->'''Josh''': I tell ya, I've heard of pandering to the Alt-Right, but nobody ever said anything about the Control-Left.[[note]][[DontExplainTheJoke Look at your keyboard, there's an Alt button on the (left and) right, and Ctrl button on the left (and right)]][[/note]] AM I RIGHT?!\ |
| 255 | ''(cue RimShot and ChirpingCrickets)''\ |
| 256 | '''Josh''': I get no respect, let me tell ya. |
| 257 | * Josh is about to approach the mishandlement and demise of ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm''... and to note, he's just married to Aramau. |
| 258 | -->'''Josh''': (excited) Ooh, goody! I get to talk about how Blizzard killed ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm'' again! |
| 259 | -->'''Aramau''': Honey, don't you think it's time to let this one go? |
| 260 | -->'''Josh''': '''[[BigNever NEVAAARRRRR~GH!!!!]]'''[[note]]Keen listeners would hear that there's a rather audible 'gh' in the end of Josh's yell.[[/note]] |
| 261 | * The ending provides a hilarious BaitAndSwitch. Instead of being in his room, Josh actually went to a local store. After declaring his name, the camera zooms into the text [[Creator/{{Nintendo}} "Plumbing"]]. And he says "Guess!" for his next target... the camera then zooms to the text [[Creator/{{Valve}} "Valves"]]. |
| 262 | |
| 263 | [[AC:Top Ten Valve FAILS]] |
| 264 | * There is no [[Memes/ValveCorporation Number 3]] in this countdown. There's only number 2.5.[[note]]A joke on how '''Half-Life 3'' being actually confirmed' is a joke statement that will never happen, which is also widespread into the meme that Valve overall "Can't count to three".[[/note]] |
| 265 | -->'''Josh''': (with a huge smile) ...Get it? |
| 266 | * Josh saying "Triple A" in the same way [[WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}} Jim Sterling]] does, before coughing and lampshading it by saying he's watched too much of Sterling's videos. |
| 267 | ** From the same segment, some of the games Josh mentions in the Steam Greenlight are so bad they're downright hilarious. |
| 268 | --->'''Josh''': So many [[Horrible/VideoGames really, really, REALLY bad games]] were submitted and approved without review. And yes, these include [[UnratedEdition porn games without a rating]], [[ObviousBeta unfinished games rampant with glitches]], [[UsefulNotes/{{Shovelware}} complete asset flips]], and in some cases, just the dumbest games possible to see what they can get away with! |
| 269 | ** Also, the ending of the segment: |
| 270 | --->'''Josh''': TL,DR: Idea: Make the barrier for entry into game development a little bit easier. Execution: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS-LXvhy1Do Oof.]] |
| 271 | * The very end of the video has Josh's end speech instantly interrupted by the lights going out... and then you see [[Memes/SuperSmashBrosUltimate a reflection in Josh's eye]]... [[Creator/{{Nintendo}} the face of a certain famous plumber...]] In context, it's also harkening to a RunningGag Josh set up since the Ubisoft Fails video: Said plumber looked a little impatient for Josh delaying his company's Fails video all the time and has come to demand just that. With him on ''Smash'' Fire. |
| 272 | |
| 273 | [[AC:Top Ten Nintendo FAILS]] |
| 274 | * For Number 9, Josh and his guest, [=GreenScorpion=], make a list of all of Nintendo's peripherals, good and bad, in 10 words or less (with ratings of their quality as well). |
| 275 | --> '''Josh:''' Only one game used this! (Power Pad, 5/10)\ |
| 276 | '''[=GreenScorpion:=]''' Hyped, then vanished. Good! Could easily abuse microtransactions. (Vitality Sensor, 4/10)\ |
| 277 | '''Josh:''' ONLY ONE GAME USED THIS! (Dance Pad, 5/10)\ |
| 278 | '''[=GreenScorpion:=]''' [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd FIRE. FIRE. FIRE.]] (Laser Scope, 4/10)\ |

| 280 | '''[=GreenScorpion:=]''' FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! (Gamecube Microphone, 6/10)\ |
| 281 | '''Josh:''' Cute but unnecessary gimmick made immortal by Smash Bros. (R.O.B., 3/10)\ |
| 282 | '''[=GreenScorpion:=]''' [[Film/TheWizard "It's so bad!"]] Well at least the marketing's honest. (Power Glove, 2/10)\ |
| 283 | '''Josh:''' It's ''Anime/DigimonTamers'', except you never have a full Digimon. (e-Reader, 6/10)\ |
| 284 | '''[=GreenScorpion:=]''' You just spent 90 bucks on a weight scale, congrats. (Wii Fit Board, 7/10)\ |
| 285 | '''Josh:''' And you thought the Genesis attachments were bad. (N64 DD, 2/10)\ |
| 286 | '''[=GreenScorpion:=]''' Pay us money for plastic! (Speedboard, 1/10)\ |
| 287 | '''Josh:''' Pay us money for cardboard! (Labo, 6/10)\ |
| 288 | '''[=GreenScorpion:=]''' So glad Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is getting a remake. (Gamecube-GBA Cable, 6/10)\ |
| 289 | '''Josh:''' Used by a lot of games. No one used it. (SNES Mouse, 8/10)\ |
| 290 | '''[=GreenScorpion:=]''' [[RuleOfThree Only one game used this!]] (ASCII Keyboard Controller, 6/10)\ |
| 291 | '''Josh:''' Selfie generation a decade before it happened, with bad filters. (Gameboy Camera, 4/10)\ |
| 292 | '''[=GreenScorpion:=]''' You only owned this because you bought ''VideoGame/LinksCrossbowTraining''. (Wii Zapper, 5/10)\ |
| 293 | '''Josh:''' At least it made Pokemon fans happy for a bit. (Transfer Pak, 6/10)\ |
| 294 | '''[=GreenScorpion:=]''' You wanna DK 64 and Majora's Mask? (Expansion Pack, 7/10)\ |
| 295 | '''Josh:''' Useful at first, died off later. (Controller Pak, 7/10)\ |
| 296 | '''[=GreenScorpion:=]''' Incredibly niche... ''[Cuts to live-action]'' Though, personally, I love this damn thing... (DK Bongos, 7/10)\ |
| 297 | '''Josh:''' Mhm, you would... |
| 298 | |
| 299 | [[AC: Top Ten DifficultySpike Bosses]] |
| 300 | * Josh presents what happens when one runs out of Crash Bombs in order to defeat the [[VideoGame/MegaMan2 Boobeam Trap]]: |
| 301 | --> '''Josh:''' Once you run out, you have to willingly let yourself get vaporized, waste time gathering ammo again, press pause, bang your head against the wall, scream into a pillow, cry in the shower, and then come back to go through all this bullsh(yay) again! |
| 302 | * Josh prefers to KillItWithFire for ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'''s Dark Link. Then... |
| 303 | -->'''Josh:''' Is there anything fire can't solve?\ |
| 304 | '''Aramau:''' Honey, did you file our taxes?\ |
| 305 | '''Josh:''' [[{{Pyromaniac}} This looks like a job for FIRE!]] |
| 306 | |
| 307 | [[AC: Top Ten Water Bosses]] |
| 308 | * Josh and Aramau blatantly referencing ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020'' at the end of the Number 5 segment (Perfect Chaos from ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure''). |
| 309 | -->'''Josh:''' Honestly, I’m not sure what else to say, but— (''screams as Ari suddenly shoves a bowl in his face'')\ |
| 310 | '''Aramau:''' (''sweetly'') I just thought you might like some Mac and Cheese made with Vermont white cheddar.\ |
| 311 | '''Josh:''' What do I look like, an imbecile? Of course I want some Mac and Cheese. (''takes the bowl from her so quickly the spoon flies out'') ''[[SuddenlyShouting I LOVE THE WAY YOU MAKE IT!]]'' (''grabs the spoon off the couch and puts it back in the bowl'') |
| 312 | |
| 313 | [[AC: Top Ten Games We Strangely Love]] |
| 314 | * The in-between skits where Josh is an overexcited employee who proposes exciting, out-of-the-box game ideas (and [[{{Keet}} acts like one too]]), with Aramau as the manager that got progressively more and more unamused with Josh's ideas. [[spoiler:Culminates with [[Webcomics/{{Hejibits}} the original]] [[MemeticMutation Boardroom Suggestion]] [[DestinationDefenestration final panel.]]]] |
| 315 | * The ending, where Josh attempts to propose for ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'', [[EveryoneHasStandards only to silently get disgusted after seeing it]] and then [[TakeThat proceeded to flush the proposal to the toilet.]] |
| 316 | * Josh revealing that ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' was quite ''literally'' an elevator pitch. |
| 317 | * How Josh thinks ''VideoGame/DeathStranding'' was proposed is gleefully summed up in six words: |
| 318 | -->'''Josh''': A walking simulator by Creator/HideoKojima!\ |
| 319 | '''Aramau''': (''{{Beat}}'') [[GetOut Get out.]] |
| 320 | |
| 321 | [[AC: Top Ten Hated Characters We're Supposed To Like]] |
| 322 | * "You want me to talk about [[VideoGame/TheLastOfUs Joel]]? Well, too bad, because [[VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII Abby]] exists!" |
| 323 | * The ending where Josh finally realized why he never mained [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1 Shulk]] in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'': [[spoiler:Because he shared the same voice actor with the #1 on this list, [[VideoGame/DragonAgeII Anders]]]]. Accompanied with an instrument that defines "EpicFail". |
| 324 | |
| 325 | [[AC: Top Ten [[{{Superboss}} Super Bosses]]]] |
| 326 | * He claims that [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee Giga Bowser]] [[TemptingFate doesn't look that hard]]. Cut to said boss laying the beatdown on him. |
| 327 | --> (While waving the white flag from his floor) "Make it stop! Make it STOP!" |
| 328 | * After finishing the list, Josh goes to get a drink, only to notice it's frozen. He then complains that his [[{{Foreshadowing}} lead-ins]] are becoming increasingly inconvenient. |
| 329 | |
| 330 | [[AC: Best and Worst Pokémon Gym Leaders]] |
| 331 | * The intro, it starts out with Josh's... Psych! Cue Ari taking over, and her joking her husband is currently indisposed. |
| 332 | * Throughout her entry on the Best Gym Leader in Johto, Morty, a [[{{Foreshadowing}} cow keeps mooing]] in the background, leading to the inevitable... |
| 333 | * Like most people, she DESPISES [[TheScrappy Whitney]]. The entire entry is all the more hilarious for it. |
| 334 | ** Her introduction for Whitney's entry: |
| 335 | ---> (''clapping'') "OK, Y'ALL GET READY FOR THE TEA ON THIS PINK-HAIRED B[[SoundEffectBleep *yay*]]!" |
| 336 | ** Her tangent/rant/meltdown over [[ThatOneBoss Whitney's Miltank]] is epic. |
| 337 | ---> Let me set the stage. Its early 2000, and you're wee little seven-year-old Ari, playing her new Pokémon game. You picked the cute little fire mouse that evolved into a fire... weasel? You have a Pidgeotto because you loved Pidgeot from when you played ''Red''. You have a Gastly because your friend promised to trade with you for a Gengar later. You just swept through Whitney's entire Gym. All your Pokémon are level 16-19. You are feeling good. She has a Clefairy? ''Pfft''. No biggie, buh-bye. Then... ''it'' happens. ''[[ThatOneAttack Rollout]]!'' THIS SON OF A CARROT STICK COW HAS ''ROLLOUT!'' Why was it a super-effective hit?! Normal's not super-effective on my Quilava! It's not super-effective on anything! EVERYONE IS DOWN?! I NEVER LOSE!!! '''MOM WHY DID I DIEEEEEEEEE?!!?''' |
| 338 | ** The end is good too: |
| 339 | ---> I hate her! I hate the ''Incredibly Pretty Girl'' and that she has the ''FLOPPING OVARIES'' to start crying and almost deny me my badge! It took me... NO JOKE... 11 tries to win this battle, and then she ''couldn't'' give me my badge? '''B[[SoundEffectBleep *yay*]] I AM THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE CRYING, NOW GIVE ME MY MONEY ''AND LET ME LEAVE!!!!'''''\ |
| 340 | ''(Popping sound)''\ |
| 341 | ''(Meekly)'' I think I popped a blood vessel, give me a minute...\ |
| 342 | ''([[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Cue ad break]])'' |
| 343 | |
| 344 | [[AC: Top Twenty Favorite Video Game Characters]] |
| 345 | * The ''very'' AntiClimax #1, because at that point, it's already blatantly obvious that Josh's most favorite is [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Kefka Pallazzo]], so he treated the number like a ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff''-styled Post-credits scene and offers links to his other Kefka analysis videos instead. |
| 346 | * Josh revealing that he ''desperately'' wanted to make [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Luigi]](who took 5th) number two on the list. |
| 347 | * Him referring to [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Palutena]] as "the benevolent goddess of [[{{Troll}} trolling]]". |
| 348 | |
| 349 | [[AC: Top Ten Ice Bosses]] |
| 350 | * Josh's very clear disgust at all the ice puns throughout the video. |
| 351 | ** And when he reaches the #1 over this ([[spoiler:Mr. Freeze's incarnation in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkahmCity'']]), when he attempted to enter, he got barraged with ice puns coming from [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger a certain actor]] from [[Film/BatmanAndRobin a movie.]] |
| 352 | |
| 353 | [[AC: Top Ten 2020 Fails]] |
| 354 | * The [[WeDidntStartTheBillyJoelParodies We Didn't Start the Fire parody]] at the beginning of the video, recapping all the woes of the video game industry in 2020. |
| 355 | * How he introduces Gamestop's exploiting of the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic: |
| 356 | ->'''Josh''': With everyone's health at risk, only certain businesses were deemed essential to keep open; such as grocery stores, pharmacies, hospitals, Gamestop, and--''*RecordNeedleScratch*'' [[DoubleTake Wait, WHAT]]!?\ |
| 357 | '''[[Series/SesameStreet Big Bird]]''': ''*indicating four bowls on a table. one of which is larger than the other three*'' One of these things is/Not like the others... |
| 358 | |
| 359 | [[AC:Top Ten Out-Of-Place Bosses]] |
| 360 | * Number 10 is [[OneWingedAngel Photoshop]] [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Flowey]]. |
| 361 | ** Josh discusses the differences between the differences between the final bosses of the True Pacifist and Neutral Routes. |
| 362 | --->'''Josh:''' The Pacifist Boss Fight has you fighting Asriel, and it feels like a standard ''Undertale'' boss fight, with a bittersweet/emotionally cathartic ending. In the ''Neutral Run'', however…\ |
| 363 | '''Photoshop Flowey:''' ''[[WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory WHAT’S UP, B]][-[[SoundEffectBleep *yay*]]-][[WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory TCHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES?!]]''\ |
| 364 | '''Josh:''' …Okay, who’s been playing MS Paint Roulette again?! |
| 365 | |
| 366 | [[AC:Top Ten Non-Disney Movie {{Villain Song}}s]] |
| 367 | * As he explains his decision to prohibit Disney songs: |
| 368 | --> Let's be honest, everybody's done a Disney Villains song list, and we all know which one's gonna top it. That's Right. |
| 369 | -->([[BaitAndSwitch Cuts to]] [[MemeticMutation Tamatoa and "Shiny"]] from ''{{WesternAnimation/Moana}}'') |
| 370 | --> Been watching way too much [[WebVideo/SchaffrillasProductions Schaffrillas]]. Can you blame me? His videos are good. |
| 371 | * The Return of Firebrand when he discusses WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks: |
| 372 | --> Josh: Welp, time to bring the Brony back out of the closet. |
| 373 | --> Firebrand: *Explosion* I have been locked in there, [[SuddenlyShouting FOR]] [[ShoutOut 30]] [[Film/ThorRagnarok MONTHS]]! |
| 374 | |
| 375 | [[AC:Top Ten Theater {{Villain Song}}s]] |
| 376 | * At the end of the Number 4 entry ("A Story Told" from ''Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo''), Josh wonders what it would be like if ''all'' guys' nights went like that. |
| 377 | -->''(Cut to Ari on her laptop with headphones on)'' |
| 378 | -->'''Josh:''' Be back later honey! I promised the guys I'd meet them for lunch and talk about our plans to ruin Rabbid Luigi's life! |
| 379 | -->'''Ari''': Okay sweetie! Just make sure you take your keys. [[{{Beat}} (A few seconds pass before Ari pulls her headphones down after realizing what Josh said.)]] [[DelayedReaction What was that!?]] |
| 380 | |
| 381 | [[AC:Top 15 WORST Consoles]] |
| 382 | * The intro for the #13 entry, the Platform/RZone, spoofs the intro of ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959''. |
| 383 | -->'''Josh:''' You strap this console onto your head and look into the screen. Within is another dimension. A dimension of empty ideas, stiff animations and nauseating visuals. You're moving into a world that makes you question why you even trusted Tiger Electronics to make a worthwhile product to begin with. You've just crossed over into... the [[TitleDrop R-Zone]]. |
| 384 | * Josh notes that the one positive of the console at number 11, the Nuon, is the fact that its name is really fun to say. |
| 385 | ** After explaining how thoroughly the original Platform/PlayStation outclassed the Nuon, he shows Sony's famous "299" keynote from E3 1995, followed by a live-action clip of Josh, wearing a perturbed expression, surrounded by a Nuon and a Platform/SegaSaturn. The Nuon and the Saturn promptly disappear, accompanied by a callout of [[VideoGame/{{Halo}} "DOUBLE KILL!"]] as Josh crosses himself, still wearing the same expression. |
| 386 | |
| 387 | [[AC: Top Ten Fun Yet Depressing Games Ft. [=Nonat1s=]]] |
| 388 | * The intro for the ninth entry: |
| 389 | -->'''Josh''': Okay, so apparently, we're gonna be talking about ''[[VideoGame/LikeADragon Yakuza]]''.\ |
| 390 | '''Nonat''': What about it?\ |
| 391 | '''Josh''': Isn't this the same series where you're running from gang members and police for a crime you didn't commit... to having a chicken as your manager in your housing side business?\ |
| 392 | '''Nonat:''' And?\ |
| 393 | '''Josh''': You don't find that weird at all?\ |
| 394 | '''Nonat:''' Well, the chicken's in [[VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon this game]] too.\ |
| 395 | '''Josh:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh, boy.]] |
| 396 | |
| 397 | [[AC:Top Ten Disappointing Games]] |
| 398 | * "Top 10 [[TakeThat jokes to make about]] ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever''." |
| 399 | ** #10: |
| 400 | --->'''Josh:''' The game starts out in a bathroom. Coincidence... or foreshadowing? The answer:\ |
| 401 | '''[[WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy Fred Fredburger]]:''' [[MathematiciansAnswer Yes.]] |
| 402 | ** #9: |
| 403 | --->'''Josh:''' ''Duke Nukem Forever''? More like ''Duke Nukem For-Never'' would be a more appropriate title! [-Heh. Gottem.-] |
| 404 | ** #8: |
| 405 | --->'''Josh:''' It's a product of its time... in the worst possible sense. |
| 406 | ** #7: |
| 407 | --->'''Josh:''' Actual footage of George Broussard commenting when the game would be done:\ |
| 408 | '''[[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Chris McLean]]:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis When. I. Feel. Like. It.]] |
| 409 | ** #6: |
| 410 | --->'''Josh:''' The devs were playing "hot potato" with the game and everyone lost. Especially us. |
| 411 | ** #5: |
| 412 | --->'''Josh:''' Y'sure Creator/SpikeTV didn't work on the game? Or at least some half-baked ripoff of Creator/Suda51? As in, all the lewdness without the creative insanity? |
| 413 | ** #4: |
| 414 | --->'''Josh:''' "[[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus I wish to register a complaint]] about this ''Duke Nukem'' sequel I purchased not a half-hour ago from this very boutique." "Ah, yes, the Norwegian ''Forever''! What's wrong with it?" "I'll tell you what's wrong with it-- it's crappy and that's what's wrong with it!" |
| 415 | ** #3: |
| 416 | --->'''Josh:''' They say patience is a virtue. I don't know if that applies here since they wasted everyone's time! |
| 417 | ** #2: |
| 418 | --->'''[[VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes Jeane]]:''' You don't want this to become ''No More Heroes Forever'', do you? |
| 419 | ** #1: |
| 420 | --->'''Josh:''' Hey, give it credit for this; we got it before ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator''!\ |
| 421 | ''(crowd booing)''\ |
| 422 | '''Josh:''' Oh, come on-- if we got the frickin' [[Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague Snyder Cut]] before ''Yandere Simulator'', I don't think I'm allowed to pull my punches anymore! |
| 423 | * Josh's dissection of ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM''[='=]s [[{{Anvilicious}} "subtle"]] symbolism. |
| 424 | -->'''Josh:''' ''(ahem)'' The ''Bottle'' Ship! "Other M" is an anagram for ''mother''! ''Metroid: Other M'' is an acronym for ''mom''! To say nothing of the ''incessant'' use of...\ |
| 425 | '''Samus:''' Baby.\ |
| 426 | '''[[WesternAnimation/ThePebbleAndThePenguin Penguins]]:''' ''BABY!''\ |
| 427 | '''Samus:''' Baby.\ |

| 432 | '''[[VideoGame/Persona3 Yumi Kawamura]]:''' ''Baby-Baby-Baby-Baby~!'' |
| 433 | |
| 434 | [[AC:Top Fifteen Disturbing Songs In Non-Horror]] |
| 435 | * When Josh compares "Season of Despair" from ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony'' to getting jumped by a [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Xenomorph]], and one pounces... |
| 436 | -->'''Josh:''' ''(hiding under his bedsheets)'' Honey, can we [[ARareSentence burn the house down]]?!\ |
| 437 | '''Ari:''' ''[[{{Beat}} (beat)]]'' [[FlatWhat What?]] |
| 438 | * Maybe the ''really'' [[IncrediblyLamePun surreal]] thing here is the joke's ingenuity. |
| 439 | -->'''Josh:''' Which leads us to today's little art project, ''VideoGame/{{OFF}}''. By... Unproductive Fun Time. Well, something's definitely [[DontExplainTheJoke off]].\ |
| 440 | '''FlavorText:''' Firey Joker Script Writers Go LOL ''({{rimshot}}; screencap of [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Sora]] smiling cheesily)''\ |
| 441 | '''Josh:''' Besides that ''[[LamePunReaction pun]]'', [[BerserkButton dang it]]! |
| 442 | |
| 443 | [[AC:Top Ten 2021 FAILS]] |
| 444 | * Josh opens this fails list with a spoof of "[[Creator/BoBurnham Welcome to the Internet]]." |
| 445 | * He sums up ''{{VideoGame/Anthem}}'' getting shut down by EA with a spoof of a popular RunningGag from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': |
| 446 | -->'''Josh:''' We now go live to Ari Burner for the report. So what happened, Ari?\ |
| 447 | '''Ari:''' Anthem came out!\ |
| 448 | '''Josh:''' What was it like?\ |
| 449 | '''Ari:''' Not very good!\ |
| 450 | '''Josh:''' Then what happened?\ |
| 451 | '''Ari:''' EA got blamed!\ |
| 452 | '''Josh:''' Then what happened?\ |
| 453 | '''Ari:''' Exposè came out!\ |

| 456 | '''Josh:''' Then what happened?\ |
| 457 | '''Ari:''' Anthem NEXT announced!\ |
| 458 | '''Josh:''' Why didn't it come out?\ |
| 459 | '''Ari:''' '''EA killed it!'''\ |
| 460 | '''Josh:''' Thanks, Ari. |
| 461 | |
| 462 | [[AC:Top Ten Weirdly Sexy Bosses]] |
| 463 | * Just the concept as a whole, especially because it's ''[[IncorruptiblePurePureness Josh]]'' talking about it. He even admitted he brought Ari in because she's better at this then he is. He even wonders how long it will take before they get demonetized. |
| 464 | --> '''Ari:''' You knew exactly what you were getting into as soon as you came up with the title. |
| 465 | * When [[VideoGame/SlyCooper Carmelita]] is brought up, Josh takes a shot at how [[TheOtherDarrin none of her voice actresses sound the same.]] |
| 466 | * Josh utterly loathing the number of puns he is forced to make during the [[VideoGame/EnterTheGungeon Gatling Gull's]] segment. |
| 467 | ** The reaction to the reveal of Gatling Gull. |
| 468 | --->'''[[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents Mr. Crocker]]:''' Those are some massive pecs!\ |
| 469 | '''Josh:''' ''Qué''?\ |
| 470 | '''Ari:''' (''falls over wheeze laughing'') |
| 471 | * Josh and Ari already knew that [[BestKnownForTheFanservice just about everyone was expecting someone from]] the ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'' series to make the list. |
| 472 | * Ari [[HehHehYouSaidX losing it]] when Josh calls Pyramid Head's sword [[AccidentalInnuendo long and hard]] and missing why she was laughing. |
| 473 | * The [[VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn Oliver]] segment. [[LargeHam ALL OF]] [[https://youtu.be/9ytLpOY3wbE?t=1029 IT]]. |
| 474 | |
| 475 | [[AC:Top Ten [[VindicatedByHistory Hated Games That Are Now Loved]]]] |
| 476 | * He talks about ''VideoGame/MetroidFusion'', which surprisingly got backlash from the fans when it was initially released. Later, he describes the game's positive reception in the modern day: |
| 477 | --> '''Josh:''' Thankfully, such didn't last very long, and now you can't browse Youtube without tripping over a ''Metroid Fusion'' video essay written by some loser millennial. ''[[SelfDeprecation (cuts to a live-action scene of Josh pointing to himself)]]'' |
| 478 | |
| 479 | [[AC:Top Ten [[MarathonBoss Longest Bosses]]]] |
| 480 | * After describing The Dark Hour from ''VideoGame/Persona3'' comes this: |
| 481 | -->'''Josh:''' I mean, on one hand, people are sealed in coffins, water is replaced with blood and shadows attack. On the other hand, [[SkewedPriorities extra hour of sleep]].\ |
| 482 | '''Editor Note:''' (excellent silver lining there Josh, said the editor) |
| 483 | * Josh describes the numerous phases of the boss fight against [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI Ansem]] as, in order, "glamorous beach Ansem", "beach Ansem's [[GuardianEntity pool buoy]]", "Ansem's tryout for the football team as a linebacker", "[[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever giant]] [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]] Ansem [[OneWingedAngel on a battleship]]", "Ansem's battleship's [[MoreDakka artillery]]", "Ansem's battleship's [[FaceShip face]]", "Ansem's battleship's [[ReactorBoss heart]]", and "Giant Shirtless Ansem on a Battleship 2: Electric Boogaloo (now in stores)". |

| 485 | [[AC:Top Ten Sonic Bosses]] |
| 486 | * [[WebVideo/BrainScratchCommentaries Variety is the spice of life.]] [[OncePerEpisode ...Also explosions.]] |
| 487 | -->'''Josh:''' Also, in the spirit of fairness, we're gonna ''try'' and not make it all about the Eggman fights. I mean, we could totally make a list about his battles on its own, but we like to have a ''little'' variety on this channel! [[SelfDeprecation Says the one]] who references [[Franchise/MegaMan the]] [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} same]] [[Franchise/BatmanArkhamSeries four]] [[Franchise/KingdomHearts titles]] in almost every video. ...Or, [[Franchise/SamAndMax five]], depending on my staff's ''[[TakeThat obsessions]]''. |
| 488 | * The transition to [[VideoGame/SonicUnleashed Dark Gaia]] is... [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 surprisingly accurate.]] |
| 489 | -->'''Josh:''' ...Euugh! Alright, who unleashed [[SealedEvilInACan the demonic shadowy kaiju monster]] ''this'' time?!\ |

| 491 | |
| 492 | [[AC:Top Ten {{Fallen Hero}}es]] |
| 493 | * Josh analyzes the climax of [[VideoGame/LiveALive Oersted's story]] and considers that he's quite likely an analogue of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Sigurd.]] And then Oersted does something Sigurd does not do: [[FaceHeelTurn Lose faith in humanity]] and [[FallenHero become the Lord of Dark Odio.]] |
| 494 | -->'''Josh:''' [[StunnedSilence ......]]\ |
| 495 | '''Sigurd:''' I believe you do owe me an apology...\ |
| 496 | '''Josh:''' Yeah, I really do. |
| 497 | |
| 498 | [[AC:Top Ten One-Shot Villains ft. WebVideo/FawfulsMinion]] |
| 499 | * Who's ''really'' the one not reading the room here? |
| 500 | -->'''Logan:''' But after 7 main games, one wacky intern suggested a way to jam 'em down... ''[[DoubleEntendre harder.]]'' He's now the CEO.\ |
| 501 | '''Josh:''' ''Why'' did I let ''you'' write this part?\ |
| 502 | '''Logan:''' 'Cos you're a genius.\ |
| 503 | '''Josh:''' You're gonna get me demonetized!\ |
| 504 | '''Logan:''' [[NoYou Nah, that'd be her.]]\ |
| 505 | '''Josh:''' Who-eh-deh- ''([[VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage Lady Dimitrescu]] appears set to [[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations "The Fragrance of Dark Coffee"]])'' Whhhoa, mama.\ |

| 508 | '''Logan:''' [[BrutalHonesty Josh is looking at vampire boobs.]]\ |
| 509 | ''(Josh glares at Logan)''\ |
| 510 | '''Logan:''' ''[[{{Beat}} (beat)]]'' You were. |
| 511 | * When they get to [[VideoGame/FarCry3 Vaas]], Josh stops Logan from saying the latter part of his surname: |
| 512 | -->'''Josh:''' We can't use that part of his name.\ |
| 513 | '''Logan:''' Why not?\ |
| 514 | '''Josh:''' Algorithm.\ |
| 515 | '''Logan:''' Sh-(Yay). |
| 516 | * As per usual, Logan is all set to talk about Fawful, only for Josh to point out that, since he's been in three games, he doesn't count. Naturally, Logan starts pouting. Then, Josh asks if there is anyone else, Logan's reply? "[[AllOfThem Yes]]". (The entry is all of the RPG-exclusive Mario villains aside from Fawful and Popple.) |
| 517 | |
| 518 | [[AC:Top Ten Gruesome Disney Deaths]] |
| 519 | * Number 8 is Clayton's death in ''WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}}'', and unlike in the previous two entries, Josh has only one thing to say about it. |
| 520 | -->'''Josh:''' (''{{beat}} as the clip pauses on the shadow of Clayton's hanging body'') …Next.\ |
| 521 | (''cuts to the graphic for Number 7'') |
| 522 | * Number 6 is the poor Cartoon Shoe in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', which Josh reveals heavily traumatized him at a young age. |
| 523 | -->'''Josh:''' (''horrified'') Kid me ''did not think that was ink''! (''stammers'') Look at that! (''showing the dripping red ink on Judge Doom's glove'') [[PunctuatedForEmphasis LOOK. AT. THAT!]] That is blood! That is honest-to-goodness ''blood''! No, that is not ink! I ''refuse'' to believe that is ink! This is too smart of a movie! They knew EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE DOING! |
| 524 | * Number 1 is the death of the astronauts (except for Creator/DonCheadle's character) in the opening scene of ''Film/MissionToMars''. One of which is [[CruelAndUnusualDeath brutally dismembered by]] [[EldritchAbomination a sentient alien vortex]]. Cut to Josh staring in utter horror at the downright '''gory''' scene, followed by [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids the Walt Disney Pictures logo showing below]]. |
| 525 | ** This is immediately followed by a hilarious rant about how it got into a PG-rated movie despite it being released in 2000; SIXTEEN YEARS after the PG-13 rating was invented. |
| 526 | |
| 527 | [[AC:Top Ten Remakes]] |
| 528 | * Number 1 is ''Pokemon Heartgold and Soul Silver''. Naturally, Ari wastes no time in taking over. |
| 529 | * At the end of the video, Ari opens a massive can of worms by encouraging Josh's viewers to vote on what video he should remake. Josh's horrified screams sell it. |
| 530 | |
| 531 | [[AC:Top Ten 2022 Fails]] |
| 532 | * Following the tradition of the year-end fails being introduced in song, this one is in the style of "[[Theatre/TheMikado I've Got a Little List]]", with every repeat of "I've got a little list" showing Josh making a ridiculous face superimposed on a picture of someone writing on parchment. |
| 533 | * The #2 segment (centered around [=NFTs=]) gives us [[Advertising/BigBillHells Jank Josh's JPEGs]]. This being [[GoshDangItToHeck Josh]], of course the foul language of the source material is sanitized to the point of hilarity: |
| 534 | -->''"'''UP YOURS, TRADERS!'''\ |

| 555 | |
| 556 | [[AC:Top Fifteen Giant Bosses]] |
| 557 | * Josh making fun of how often he puts [[VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} Jubileus]] on his boss countdowns by doing the entry in an extremely informal manner. |
| 558 | * Less an a minute into [[VideoGame/SonicFrontiers GIGANTO's]] segment, Josh begins blasting the [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic boss theme, "Undefeatable"]]. |
| 559 | * Josh admitting that he knew that everyone knew that a ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'' boss was going to be on the list and that it was a matter of when, not if. |
| 560 | |
| 561 | [[AC:Top Ten Gaming Crushes (Josh Edition)]] |
| 562 | * Josh's final rant that after all the best qualities [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Mipha]] had, she's going to be doomed as ''the'' UnluckyChildhoodFriend, meaning that she's been '''ROBBED'''. The video ends with Josh sobbing and being comforted by Ari, who delivers one final burn ([[DontExplainTheJoke because you know, she's his... real wife]]): |
| 563 | -->'''Ari:''' He's the Fiery Joker. These are his crushes. But remember who won in the end, ladies. |
| 564 | |
| 565 | [[AC:Top Ten Squad Bosses]] |
| 566 | * "Ah ''VideoGame/BugFables''. A ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' fan's response to Nintendo being in denial that ''[[VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar Sticker Star]]'' sucks." |
| 567 | * Number 6 is the Mage Sisters from ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies''. Naturally, Josh wastes no time in pointing out how dark the lore is. |
| 568 | |
| 569 | [[AC:Top Ten Worst Video Game Villains]] |
| 570 | * Josh's hilariously strange sponsor, [[StylisticSuck including parts where he uses a black screen with a text read by a text to speech bot.]] |
| 571 | * For #8, he covers [[VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria Heldalf]], who points out that he has no dynamic with the heroes at all. |
| 572 | -->'''Josh:''' ''[[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld Dawn of the New World]]'' had a better hero/villain dynamic than ''Zestiria''. Heck, '''''[[WesternAnimation/Sing2 SING 2]]''''' HAD A BETTER HERO/VILLAIN DYNAMIC THAN ''ZESTIRIA''!\ |
| 573 | ''(Cue [[MemeticMutation an overlay of people going "OOOH!"]] and the words [[TakeThat #SHOTSFIRED]] flashing on the screen)'' |
| 574 | * Number 6 has Josh come to the frightening realization that he's running out of things to roast EA over and frantically asks for anything in particular... and surely enough, [[VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition Corypheus]] appears. |
| 575 | -->'''Josh:''' Whew! That was a close one. I almost had to cut them some slack. |
| 576 | * Josh spares absolutely no detail on how [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony Tsumugi]] utterly screwed herself over: |
| 577 | -->'''Josh:''' Lady, you deliberately create a set up where you [[TrumanShowPlot break the immersion of the game by revealling it's a show]], [[TakeThatAudience make fun of your audience for liking your show]], and [[JustBetweenYouAndMe give the main characters the key they needed to figure out how to beat you]], and you '''somehow''' didn't think [[HoistByHisOwnPetard any of this would backfire!]]\ |
| 578 | '''Creator/GeorgeCarlin:''' Some people are really f(yay)ing stupid. |
| 579 | |
| 580 | [[AC:Top Ten Surprisingly Dark Moments]] |
| 581 | * Josh mentioning that, with how both love to dispense dark lore, [[Franchise/{{Kirby}} Kirby pause screens]] would get along great with the [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pokedex]]. |
| 582 | * When talking about the Ring of Chaos section from ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'', Josh makes his feelings on the series being in limbo once again very clear. |
| 583 | -->'''Josh:''' Haha, funny fourth wall breaking game. GENOCIDAL GODDESS. Haha, funny fourth wall breaking game. GIVE US A SEQUEL NINTENDO! |
| 584 | |
| 585 | [[AC:Top Ten God Bosses]] |
| 586 | * Josh runs into a couple cases of DidntWeUseThisJokeAlready when talking about the similarities of the backgrounds of the bosses: |
| 587 | ** First, Josh talks about [[VideoGame/DragaliaLost Zenos]]'s backstory all the while ''Xenoblade'' clips from his previous entry, [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1 Zanza]], making him ask "Why is ''Xenoblade'' footage playing?". |
| 588 | ** Second, Josh ends up using the same intro he used for [[VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey Visile]] when talking about [[VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn Ashera]], and when he describes her backstory, he ends up realizing how similar the Nintendo JRPG bosses are when it comes to their backstories. |
| 589 | |
| 590 | [[AC:Top Ten 2023 Fails]] |
| 591 | * The countdown opens with a parody of Music/TheUltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny. |
| 592 | * Number 8 pretty much sums up the downward spiral of VideoGame/{{Redfall}} using a dubbed clip from [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS11E12TheMansionFamily The Mansion Family.]] |
| 593 | -->'''"Mr. Burns:"''' Well one of our subsidiaries has finished their latest Triple A title, so now we can release it!\ |
| 594 | '''"Doctor:"''' Well under the circumstances I’d rather not.\ |
| 595 | '''"Mr. Burns:"''' Why not?\ |
| 596 | '''"Doctor:"''' Microsoft I’m afraid this is your worst Triple A release of 2023, it has all the Triple A smells.\ |
| 597 | '''"Mr. Burns:"''' So you’re saying it’s blatantly unfinished?\ |
| 598 | '''"Doctor"''': Yes.\ |
| 599 | '''"Mr. Burns"''': The story is nonexistent?\ |
| 600 | '''"Doctor"''': Yes.\ |
| 601 | '''"Mr. Burns"''': With poorly implemented live service elements?\ |
| 602 | '''"Doctor"''': Um a little bit yes, in addition we’ve found several completely new fails in it.\ |
| 603 | '''"Mr. Burns"''': I see, but higher ups said everything was fine!\ |
| 604 | '''"Doctor"''': Uh no, that’s because they relied on mock reviews. If you have a minute I can explain.\ |
| 605 | '''"Mr. Burns"''': Well..\ |
| 606 | '''"Doctor"''': Okay, so this doorway represents the game and these are development issues. This is crunch, this is poor management and this cute little cuttlebug is all the devs that left. Now here’s what happens when they all try to make a game. ''(He starts shoving them through the door while acting like Curly Howard)'' Move it chowdahead, we call it the Arkane Magic!\ |
| 607 | '''Text Blurb''': This is what the higher-ups ACTUALLY believed.\ |
| 608 | '''"Mr. Burns"''': So what you’re saying is, it can be released!\ |
| 609 | '''"Doctor"''': Oh no no no, even a slight change or delay could-\ |
| 610 | '''"Mr. Burns"''': It can be released..\ |
| 611 | '''Blurb''': It gets released… ''(Cutaway to Redfall’s negative reception as the Price is Right Losing Horn blares.)''\ |
| 612 | '''"Mr. Burns"''': Smithers, are they.. booing me? |
| 613 | * Number 7 features another bit where Josh mocks every dead Live Service game that was released in the past 2 years and ended in 2023 with 10 words or less (while also adding extra details such as giving them small "awards" on the side): |
| 614 | -->'''Super People 2:''' Did you keep the working title, or... ''(Time: 10 Months) (Worst name)''\ |
| 615 | '''Crossfire X:''' Now I just wanna watch that old commercial again. ''(Time: 15 Months) (Most 90's sounding Name)''\ |
| 616 | '''Space Punks:''' Probably would have fit right in... during the 90's. ''(Time: 18 Months) (Most Likely to rip off Guardians of the Galaxy)''\ |
| 617 | '''Gloria Victis:''' Gloria, Victis Gone! ''(Time: 8 Months) (Least glorious)''\ |
| 618 | '''Rumbleverse:''' This verse will never rumble again. ''(Time: 6 Months) (Smallest magnitude)''\ |
| 619 | '''Hellfire Tactics:''' Remember when autobattlers were a thing? Me neither. ''(Time: 4 Months) (Latest to a trend)''\ |
| 620 | '''Back 4 Blood:''' Wait, didn't these same devs make another failed live service? ''(Time: 15 Months) (Worst marketing)''\ |
| 621 | '''Crimeslight:''' Oh hey, Konami! Was wondering when you'd show up! ''(Time: 12 Months) (Worst shutdown)''\ |
| 622 | '''Babylon's Fall:''' Platinum just can't catch a break, can they? ''(Time: 9 Months) (Worse use of a competent studio)''\ |
| 623 | '''Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier:''' A little late for Battle Royales, Square... A little late... ''(Time: 14 Months) (Least necessary)''\ |
| 624 | '''Echoes of Mana:''' Looks like they fell on deaf ears. ''(Time: 13 Months) (Best imitation of the Mana Tree [[labelnote:*]](It always burns down)[[/labelnote]])''\ |
| 625 | '''Bravely Default: Brilliant Lights:''' JUST GIVE US BRAVELY THIRD ALREADY! ''(Time: 13 Months) (Least brilliant)''\ |
| 626 | '''Dragon Quest: The Hero of Dai - A Hero's Bonds!:''' Way to live up to your name. ''(Most prophetic title)''\ |
| 627 | '''Dead Cide Club:''' Oh now that's just funny! ''(Time: 6 Months) (EVEN MORE prophetic title)''\ |
| 628 | '''Side Bullet:''' Yeah, same devs, by the way! ''(Time: 1 Month) (Quickest death)''\ |
| 629 | '''Cinder:''' Burn away to nothing. [[labelnote:*]](It was an [=NFT=] game)[[/labelnote]] (Time: 12 Months) ''(Most deserving to die)''\ |

| 632 | '''Stadia:''' Thanks for aging one of my best videos! Ya pricks! ''(Time: 37 Months) (Least surprising)'' |
| 633 | * The lead up to the reveal of Number 5: |
| 634 | -->'''Josh:''' Okay, something feels ''weird''. I think we're forgetting a company that's been here pretty consistently… but never really got this ''high''.\ |
| 635 | (''The Creator/{{Nintendo}} logo pops up with [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]'s "[[CharacterCatchphrase It's me!]]" playing over it'')\ |
| 636 | '''Josh:''' Oh, man. Creator/{{Nintendo}}, WHAT DID YOU ''DO''?! |
| 637 | |
| 638 | [[AC:Top 10 Most Annoying Bosses (2024)]] |
| 639 | * During the Honorable Mentions, Josh all but outright admits the only reason that [[VideoGame/SonicFrontiers KNIGHT]] isn't on the list is because the boss theme is amazing. |
| 640 | * Josh spares no detail about how much ''everything'' about [[VideoGame/SpiderManPS4 Screwball]] is a pain deal with as it is to listen to, considering she's always running her mouth, especially in her "boss" fight with '''mandatory''' photobomb prompts. And clips from celebrities really state what she should do: |
| 641 | -->'''Screwball:''' Look at the spike in concurrent viewers! We gotta keep this thing going!\ |
| 642 | '''Wrestling/BretHart:''' Shut up!\ |
| 643 | '''Screwball:''' Exsqueeze me?! What I've been doing is giving the world the greatest show they've ever seen!\ |
| 644 | '''Wrestling/TheRock:''' Shut up, b(yay)ch!\ |

| 646 | '''Cat Deely:''' '''[[BigShutUp F(yay)ING SHUT UP!!!]]''' |
| 647 | |
| 648 | [[AC:Top Ten Rivalries]] |
| 649 | * Number 6 has him introduce [[Franchise/MortalKombat Sub-Zero and Scorpion]] in a rather... ''[[WesternAnimation/TheYearWithoutASantaClaus unique]]'' fashion. |
| 650 | -->''I'm Mister Ice Ninja, I'm Mister Chill\ |
| 651 | I'm Mister Spine Ripper, I'm Mister Frosty Kills\ |
| 652 | Friends call me Sub-Zero. Whatever I punch,\ |

| 661 | [[AC:Top Ten Sexy Female Bosses]] |
| 662 | * After covering [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Phosphora]], Josh has an idea of [[HurricaneOfPuns how the list will go]], and Ari proceeds to rub it in. |
| 663 | -->'''Ari:''' Did you forget who our [[PungeonMaster writers]] are? And who you're collabing with? Chaos goblin lives! |
| 664 | * For [[VideoGame/HiFiRush Korsica's]] entry, Josh notes how Chai tried to convince her of how corrupt Vandelay Technologies had become... but immediately screws it up by calling her oblivious, complete with a cut-in of the mass {{Facepalm}} scene from ''Film/TheNakedGun''. |
| 665 | |
| 666 | [[AC:Top Ten Good Retcons]] |
| 667 | * Josh recalls back to one of the recurring memes within the countdown community for ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter''... |
| 668 | -->'''Josh:''' Oh, what was his name again? Count... uh, no that's not it... Oh, yes! Count Vegan!\ |
| 669 | '''Count Veger:''' IT'S VEGER!!\ |
| 670 | '''Josh:''' (distorted) OH MY GOD! I DON'T F[=*yay*=]ING CA-- |
| 671 | * At the end of [[Franchise/BlazBlue Ragna's]] segment, Josh admits he wanted to do a IfIHadANickel joke about how his CharacterDevelopment is similiar to [[Franchise/MortalKombat Raiden's]], but thinks he's made too much of those lately. |
| 672 | * After finishing talking about why ''VideoGame/SamuraiJackBattleThroughTime'' was such a good game and why the retcon it put in place (letting Ashi survive Aku's death) was so good, Josh takes a quick second to yet again mention how he wishes Cartoon Network would stop focusing on [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo one show]] at the expense of [[WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy several]] [[WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor other]] [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls older]] [[WesternAnimation/MegasXLR shows]]. |
| 673 | -->'''Josh:''' Stop teasing about a ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' resolution and actually do it, ya pricks! |
| 674 | * When talking about ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal'' in the honorable mentions, he admits that the games retcon themselves in each new game...and that no one actually cares. |
| 675 | |
| 676 | [[AC:Top Ten Fan Made {{Villain Song}}s]] |
| 677 | * After putting "It Just Works" (a song about the head of Creator/{{Bethesda}}, Todd Howard), Josh wastes no time in declaring that, even though it's based on a real person, it ''totally'' counts. |
| 678 | -->'''Josh:''' Yes, corporations count as villains. F*yay* you! Look at these ongoing downward spirals ''(pictures of Creator/WarnerBrothers, Creator/{{Disney}}, Creator/ActivisionBlizzard, and Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} appear)'' and tell me otherwise! |
| 679 | * After yet ''another'' [[TakeThat shot]] of Disney, Josh wonders if it's too much. He barely gets through the sentence before deciding that it's never enough. |

| 681 | |
| 682 | |
| 683 | [[folder:My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Reviews]] |
| 684 | [[AC: General]] |
| 685 | * The fact that Josh censors any PrecisionFStrike in his MLP reviews with Fluttershy's soft "yay" can be worth a few chuckles, especially when people take advantage of it. |
| 686 | * His reviews of ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Equestria Girls]]'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]'' in the style of WebVideo/BumReviews. |
| 687 | * Pretty much anytime [[OnceAnEpisode he skips the opening]]. |

| 692 | -->'''Josh:''' Wait a minute. Princess Celestia only sent two tickets, when she's fully aware that Twilight has five friends who just ''might'' want to attend the biggest celebration of the year? Ok, either Celestia's a [[SinkOrSwimMentor very tough teacher]], or she's a {{troll}}. |
| 693 | -->'''Spike:''' How come I don't get a ticket to the gala? (burp) "And one for you, Spike." |
| 694 | -->({{beat}}) |
| 695 | -->'''Josh:''' Troll. |
| 696 | |
| 697 | [[AC: Dragonshy]] |
| 698 | * It's not uncommon in his MLP reviews to [[OncePerEpisode skip the title theme]]. But when he has Chewie as a collab partner: |
| 699 | --> '''Opening''': ''"My Little Pony - " *screen flies backwards, past Josh, and crashes into a door*'' |
| 700 | --> '''Josh''': ''*stares between the crashed opening, then back at Chewie*'' How did you-? |
| 701 | --> '''Chewie''': '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Don't. Underestimate.]] [[Franchise/StarWars The Force.]]''' |
| 702 | * It's quite hilarious how Anthony takes the science of this episode ''way'' too seriously. He completely flips out over how horses/ponies wouldn't be able to climb up a cliff that steep and how different horses are from goats. |
| 703 | -->''(after the dragon snores, Fluttershy freezes in place and falls on her back like a statue, making a goat sound)''\ |
| 704 | '''Chewie: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis NO! THAT. IS. WHAT. GOAT'S. DO.]]''' '''''[[VoiceOfTheLegion ANOTHER. F**KING. ORDER!!!]]'''''\ |
| 705 | ''(His anger literally makes the screen explode with the words "'''[[red:NERD RAGE]]'''" on a fiery background, this understandably [[OhCrap leaves Josh surprised]])''\ |
| 706 | '''Chewie:''' ''(calms himself)'' You know what? I give up, I don't care anymore.\ |
| 707 | '''Josh:''' ''(still surprised from earlier) Yay...'' |
| 708 | |
| 709 | |
| 710 | [[AC: Look Before You Sleep]] |
| 711 | * The many jokes made about [[RealLifeWritesThePlot Hurricane Sandy being outside his house]]. |
| 712 | * "I CAN'T TAKE THE GIRLY!!!!" |
| 713 | * His reaction to Applejack in a princess costume. |
| 714 | -->'''Josh:''' I don't know what I should question first; where she got the dress, how she was able to put it on in less than five seconds ({{beat}}) [[BreadMilkEggsSquick or how grotesquely stupid it looks]]. |
| 715 | * For every instance of Applejack and Rarity indirectly insulting one another, a clip of [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] plays with one of his famous quotes modified to reflect their lack of subtlety (Josh even refers to him as "Darth Subtlety"). The problem is that it happens so often throughout the episode that Darth eventually gives up and pulls a hilariously out-of-character ScrewThisImOuttaHere. |
| 716 | |
| 717 | [[AC: Magical Mystery Cure]] |
| 718 | * Josh making fun of Twilight suddenly getting aura just from saying that her friends are important. |
| 719 | --> '''Josh''': My friends mean more to me than anything!\ |
| 720 | ''Beat''\ |
| 721 | '''Josh''': '''[[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER!]]''' |
| 722 | * Josh's GoMadFromTheRevelation moment after witnessing Alicorn Twilight. Fellow TopTenList maker [[Creator/TheQuarterGuy Quarter Guy]] decided to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuflOU7chks loop that several times for maximum insanity]]. |
| 723 | |
| 724 | [[AC: Double Rainboom]] |
| 725 | * Josh's reaction when [[spoiler: Rainbow Dash finds herself in [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Townsville]]]]. |
| 726 | |
| 727 | [[AC: Feeling Pinkie Keen]] |
| 728 | * Xain Russell tricks Josh into confessing that he wrote a My Little Pony fanfic. He begged Xain not to elaborate, but Xain did-- after muting him so that he could not interrupt. Josh made increasingly desperate attempts to do so anyway. |
| 729 | * The [[OhCrap horrified face]] Josh made when he realized his confession is a moment all its own. |
| 730 | * This little bit: |
| 731 | --> '''Isaac Newton:''' *in Creator/GeorgeTakei's voice* "Newton's 4th Law of Motion: if [[RealityWarper Pinkie Pie]] is involved, all previous laws become moot and work against skeptics. Oh, my!" |
| 732 | --> '''Xain:''' "Why George Takei? He doesn't relate to the situation at all." |
| 733 | --> '''Josh:''' "Because Creator/JohnRhysDavies needs a paycheck, [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Gollum]] wouldn't fit, and [[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead Cornholio]] would just be annoying." |
| 734 | * Upon having his PrecisionFStrike [[SoundEffectBleep censored]], Xain gleefully breaks into the [[Creator/GeorgeCarlin Seven Words You Can't Say On Television]]. Cue ClusterBleepBomb, while Josh sits [[FacePalm with his head in his hands]]. |
| 735 | |
| 736 | [[AC: Mmmystery on the Friendship Express]] |
| 737 | * Towards the beginning of the video, prior to the actual review: |
| 738 | -->'''Alex:''' Point is, Josh, your jokes are so bad they cause [[StuffBlowingUp property damage]]. I'm here to ensure you do something that's actually useful.\ |
| 739 | '''Josh:''' Oh, you're one to talk, Mister [[OldShame Double Top Five]].\ |
| 740 | '''Alex:''' ''(DeathGlare and RecordScratch)''\ |
| 741 | '''Josh:''' *{{Beat}}* [[OhCrap I didn't mean that.]] |
| 742 | * Josh expresses irritation at Pinkie Pie's apparent boredom while she [[ItMakesSenseInContext stands guard over the cake]], claiming that there are several ways she could entertain herself. Creator/TheAutarch's suggestion? |
| 743 | -->'''Alex:''' ''(Completely deadpan)'' Like watch a guy [[SoundEffectBleep *yay*]] [[BestialityIsDepraved a goat]].\ |
| 744 | '''Josh:''' ''({{Beat}})'' ''[[{{Squick}} Alex!]]'' |
| 745 | * After Pinkie falls asleep standing up: |
| 746 | -->'''Josh:''' Well, at least she's a better guard than [[WebAnimation/DusksDawn Private Doughnut.]]\ |
| 747 | '''Doughnut:''' [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy Must've been a cat or somethin'...]]\ |
| 748 | '''Josh''': *Covering his face and screaming in frustration* |
| 749 | * After the cake is sabotaged, Josh and Alex state that they refuse to say [[TheCakeIsALie the obvious joke]]. So [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Hades]] [[{{Troll}} chimes in with it instead]]. |
| 750 | -->'''Both:''' Go home, Hades! |
| 751 | * And then... |
| 752 | -->'''Twilight:''' Having read many mystery novels...\ |
| 753 | '''Both:''' [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!!!!]] |
| 754 | * Alex constantly pushing Josh's {{Berserk Button}} by referencing [[WebAnimation/DoubleRainboom a certain fan animation]] that Josh reviewed earlier (and hated). |
| 755 | -->'''Alex:''' Oh, hey! A Creator/TaraStrong [[ActorAllusion character's in a bubble!]] ''(leans forward with a smug smile on his face)'' [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Powerpuff Girls]] [[WebAnimation/DoubleRainboom Crossover]]...\ |
| 756 | ''(cuts to a shot of outside Josh's house)''\ |
| 757 | '''Josh:''' '''''[[Main/ScreamDiscretionShot HAAAAAAAA]][[Main/OverlyLongScream AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!!!!]]''''' |
| 758 | * Alex suggesting various [[ItMakesSenseInContext dirty pony names]], and Josh's horrified reactions. |
| 759 | -->'''Josh:''' You take time out of your day to think of dirty pony names? |
| 760 | '''Alex:''' [[LargeHam MMMMMMM, YEEES!]] |
| 761 | ** Made a bit funnier once you realize one of the names Alex uses, Rosebud, is an actual name used by the show. |
| 762 | * Josh calling Alex out on why he hadn't released any new content for months leads to this: |
| 763 | -->'''[[Videogame/KidIcarusUprising Hades]]:''' ''(Apologetically)'' That would be my doing.\ |
| 764 | '''Alex:''' [[HoYay Shut up, baby, I know.]]\ |
| 765 | '''Josh:''' ''(Stares in StunnedSilence, with a [[Main/ScreamingAtSquick scream]] playing in the background)'' |
| 766 | * |
| 767 | -->'''Alex (as Gustav):''' Hoh hoh hoh! I am a stereotypical French assh'le! Hoh hoh hoh! |
| 768 | |
| 769 | [[AC: Bridle Gossip]] |
| 770 | * Josh finally gets around to reviewing this episode. It has several moments, but most notably the beginning, where he asks various people (including Chewie, Creator/TheAutarch, and a couple of Hasbro employees) if they have a problem with him doing the review. Just as he's about to say the name of the episode: |
| 771 | --> '''Xain Russell''': Hey, Josh, I - |
| 772 | --> '''Josh''': [[BigWordShout WHADDYAWANT?!?!?!]] |
| 773 | --> '''Xain''': ''*leans away from camera*'' I... just wanted to say I got your title card done, and I was really looking forward to this review... *[[SoundEffectBleep yay]]*hole. |
| 774 | * When Zecora first [[RhymesOnADime speaks:]] |
| 775 | -->'''[[Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas The Grinch:]]''' [[ShoutOut I'M SPEAKING IN RHYYYYYYYME!!]] |
| 776 | * When Twilight dismisses the "Super Naturals" book, Josh says, |
| 777 | --> '''Josh''': "So THAT'S where 'Skeptical Twilight' came from. [[CallBack Oh, Xain..]] |
| 778 | --> '''Xain''': "Go to Tartarus!" (Josh smirks) |
| 779 | * When Spike makes his nicknames for the Mane Six, Josh holds up score cards in response. When Spike comes up with a punny name for Twilight's condition, he gives it a 0.5. |
| 780 | ** And after that, he's informed what Twilight's floppy horn might imply, and does not take it well. |
| 781 | |
| 782 | [[AC: Over a Barrel]] |
| 783 | * The review begins with Josh looking terrified, while Bhaalspawn looks... [[DeathGlare unamused]]. |
| 784 | * [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Hades']] reaction to Bhaalspawn's hair, which results in her [[{{Squick}} shoving a cross]] at Hades. |
| 785 | -->'''Hades:''' [[LampshadeHanging Y'know, the cross thing isn't exactly going to work with me.]] |
| 786 | * The [[RunningGag remote control]]. |
| 787 | -->'''Josh:''' [[TemptingFate Assuming there are no more delays,]] I can finally give you my collab review of Over a-- |
| 788 | -->*Bhaalspawn brains Josh for the fourth time* |
| 789 | -->'''Josh:''' SON OF A MOTHER[[CurseCutShort --]] |
| 790 | * In response to Applejack's baby-talk toward [[CompanionCube Bloomburg]]. |
| 791 | -->'''Bhaalspawn:''' I talk to my Gardevoir the same way on VideoGame/PokemonX |
| 792 | -->'''Josh:''' *Wide-eyed, shocked staring* |
| 793 | -->'''Bhaalspawn:''' ''Don't even, Josh.'' |
| 794 | * In preparation for Fluttershy's [[MemeticMutation memetic line]] in this episode, Bhaalspawn steps up with this: |
| 795 | -->[[WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas And what happened next? Well, in Ponyville they say, that the fandom's fifth most annoying meme grew ten sizes that day.]] |
| 796 | * After Bhaalspawn gives her logic for why many early season 1 plots had plenty of holes in their logic, [[ItMakesSenseInContext Josh grabs his bottle of Brony Tears.]] |
| 797 | -->'''Josh''': I am never going to run out of these, am I? |
| 798 | * Bhaalspawn's rather... odd statement on Braeburn. Made better by the follow-up. |
| 799 | -->'''Bhaalspawn:''' [[StayInTheKitchen Shut up, woman. Braeburn is talking.]] [[TestosteronePoisoning As he is the only man in Appleloosa, and the land of ponies, Clydesdale = Budweiser = Men, for only men are worthy enough to drink that WATERY HORSE PISS CALLED BEER!]] |
| 800 | -->'''Josh:''' **({{Beat}})** That made absolutely no sense. |
| 801 | -->'''Bhaalspawn:''' Neither does this entire f*[[SoundEffectBleep yay]]*cking character! |
| 802 | * As the ponies go to "rescue" Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Spike: |
| 803 | -->'''Josh:''' I close my eyes, and that's Tabitha St. Germain talking to me. Then I open my eyes and it's Rarity. [[AndThatsTerrible And that's not as good.]] |
| 804 | -->'''Bhaalspawn:''' Try telling that to your entire audience. |
| 805 | -->'''Josh:''' My audience doesn't do... ''[[Rule34 that]]''. |
| 806 | -->'''Bhaalspawn:''' There are two types of bronies, Josh. Those who [[Rule34 clop]]... [[FalseDichotomy and]] ''[[WithUsOrAgainstUs liars]]''. |
| 807 | -->'''Josh:''' Said a brony. |
| 808 | -->'''Bhaalspawn:''' [[ShuttingUpNow We're getting]] [[ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject off-subject]]. |
| 809 | * As Rainbow Dash and Applejack are cutting off Braeburn and Little Strong Heart's attempts at negotiation to [[OpinionOverride push their own views:]] |
| 810 | -->'''Bhaalspawn:''' It's like the Equestria Version of Tumblr. No room for calm discussion here. |
| 811 | -->'''Josh:''' Uh, that's not true. You can have a rational discussion on Tumblr. |
| 812 | -->'''Bhaalspawn:''' '''''[[VoiceOfTheLegion F]]'''''[[SoundEffectBleep *yay*]]'''''[[VoiceOfTheLegion CK YOU, CISHET SCUM!!!!!]]''''' |
| 813 | * During the climax of the episode, Josh tries to draw a line between Chief Thunderhooves' war paint and the Canadian flag, and tries to get Bhaalspawn to join him on the joke. Bhaalspawn gives all the reasons why this isn't going to happen, until: |
| 814 | -->'''Josh:''' I'll buy you Tim Hortons coffee if you do. |
| 815 | -->'''Bhaalspawn:''' [[GilliganCut Oh, Canada...]] |
| 816 | * After the settler ponies start throwing the pies, this exchange occurs: |
| 817 | --> '''Bhaalspawn:''' As Lewis has told you the pie war has grown ferocious. |
| 818 | --> '''Josh:''' You watched ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales''? |
| 819 | --> '''Bhaalspawn:''' Yeah? |
| 820 | --> '''Josh:''' I love you. No homo. |
| 821 | --> '''Bhaalspawn:''' I love you too, Josh. All of the homo. |
| 822 | * The review ends with Bhaalspawn sending in a [[VideoGame/CallOfDuty tactical nuke]], which provides the usual end of video kaboom. |
| 823 | -->'''Josh:''' *observes countdown* ... I hate you. *cue KABOOM* |
| 824 | |
| 825 | [[AC: Twilight's Kingdom]] |
| 826 | * The review opens with Josh locked in his bathroom, the day before the finale aired. [[MadnessMantra He's muttering and whispering to himself about how he won't be exposed to spoilers.]] Take a guess what happens at the end of the opening. |
| 827 | -->'''Josh:''' *as [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros the original Mario Game Over jingle]] plays* '''''[[BigNo NOOOOOOO]][[SkywardScream OOOOOOOO!!!]]''''' |
| 828 | * "So, let me get this straight: [Tirek] would rather have the freedom to do whatever he wants, without having to worry about consequences, rather than having friendship. *{{Beat}}* [[Website/FourChan 4CHAN,]] [[TakeThat PRAISE YOUR NEW LORD AND SAVIOR!]]" |
| 829 | * [[ItMakesSenseInContext "Sir, I think the princesses are drunk again."]] |
| 830 | * A quick, but hilarious moment occurs when Tirek's using dramatic arm movements: |
| 831 | -->'''Josh!Tirek:''' I CAUGHT A FISH ''THIS'' BIG! |
| 832 | * His genuine and heartfelt speech after [[spoiler: Tirek blows up Twilight's library]] ends with, [[MoodWhiplash well...]] |
| 833 | --> '''Josh:''' Well, I'm certainly sad [[spoiler: to see it go]], but hey, change and development happens, and it's certainly nothing worth getting so upset to make a petition--''{Cue screenshot of said petition and a RecordNeedleScratch}'' [[BigWhat WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?]] |
| 834 | |
| 835 | [[AC: Hearts and Hooves Day]] |
| 836 | * The review starts with a bunch of bronies noticing Josh Scorcher, angry at him from panning Double Rainboom. Cue Yaxety Sax. Josh and Voice of Reason bump into each other (literally), and Voice of Reason's lambasting of Friendship is Witchcraft has HIM get chased as well. During the chase, Josh and Voice stop running in a panicked fashion and calmly ride an escalator to the next floor. [[EveryoneHasStandards Not only does the angry mob follow suit]], they ''[[CasualDangerDialogue happily chat amongst themselves]]'' while riding up the escalator. The chase immediately resumes when everyone is at the top. The two run to the latter's hotel room, and jump in, entering the Rift, which causes Josh to take on his Pony OC's form. |
| 837 | ** When Josh realizes this, he promptly starts [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl screaming]]... [[OverlyLongGag for two hours and ten seconds]] according to Voice of Reason's watch. |
| 838 | ** And when he starts screaming ''[[OverlyLongGag again,]]'' Voice of Reason pelts him with [[FreezeFrameBonus a copy of Okami.]] |
| 839 | -->''Headshot! +50 xp'' |
| 840 | * This: |
| 841 | -->'''Voice of Reason''': After the intro, we cut to- |
| 842 | -->'''Josh''': Wait, wait, wait, wait. What the heck was that? |
| 843 | -->'''Voice of Reason''': I just said "after the intro" and moved on. |
| 844 | -->(Beat) |
| 845 | -->'''Josh''': [[TranquilFury That's not how this works.]] |
| 846 | -->'''Voice of Reason''': And what where YOU gonna do? [[OncePerEpisode Sneeze the intro away?]] |
| 847 | -->(Beat) |
| 848 | -->'''Josh''': Maybe... |
| 849 | * When Sweetie Belle delivers her famous "OH COME ON!" line: |
| 850 | -->'''Voice of Reason''': Hey, it's the fandom's reaction to [[TheScrappy Flash Sentry]]. |
| 851 | -->'''Josh''': Hey, it's the fandom's reaction to PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING. |
| 852 | * Josh can't take the lovey dovey talk at first, declaring it similar to Generation 3... [[ActuallyPrettyFunny but then can't help but to laugh at it.]] |
| 853 | * Josh riffs on the whole shipping fanbase throughout the video. At one point, Voice of Reason has to hit him with a copy of Super Mario Galaxy 2 to get him to shut up. |
| 854 | --> '''Josh''': ''{dazed}'' Aren't the fireworks lovely today? ''[[NonSequiturThud {collapses}]]'' |
| 855 | ** ''"Double Kill! +100 xp"'' |
| 856 | * At one point, Voice of Reason comments that the whole romance bit reminds him of "[[Recap/ThePowerpuffGirlsS5EP1KeenOnKeaneNotSoAwesomeBlossom Keen on Keane]]" (An episode of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' that had [[KidsPlayMatchmaker the girls play matchmaker with Professor Utonium and Miss Keane]]). When Josh asks what that is, Voice of Reason says, "It's a ''Powerpuff Girls''-" Cue Josh grabbing a gun, telling Voice of Reason to choose his next words carefully. |
| 857 | * Right after Cherilee asks the CMC [[ItMakesSenseInContext why it looks like she and Big Mac are "getting married at the bottom of a pit"]], [[Music/MarvinGaye "Let's Get It On"]] starts playing. |
| 858 | --> '''Josh''': Oh, [[SarcasmMode REAL subtle]] there, Voice! |
| 859 | --> '''Voice of Reason''': I swear, it's not me! |
| 860 | * The ending: Josh leaps through a portal leading back to his couch. However he's still in pony form, but this time in 3D. Upon realizing this, Josh screams ''[[RuleOfThree again]]''. |
| 861 | ** Made even better by the fact that Voice already knew this would happen, but decided it would be funnier to troll him instead. |
| 862 | -->'''Voice of Reason''': I wonder if I should've told him earlier... Eh, this will be funnier! |
| 863 | |
| 864 | [[AC: Swarm of the Century]] |
| 865 | * The review opens with his usual greeting while text floats beside him. |
| 866 | --> '''Josh''': Hi, this is the Fiery Joker! |
| 867 | --> '''Text''': So, you gonna explain why you're not a pony anymore? |
| 868 | --> ''*{{Beat}}*'' |
| 869 | --> '''Josh''': Y'know what? No intro. ''*claps to signal review start*'' |
| 870 | --> '''Text''': HEY WAIT! |
| 871 | |
| 872 | [[AC: Putting Your Hoof Down]] |
| 873 | * Upon meeting [[WebVideo/TheMysteriousMrEnter Mr. Enter]], Josh instantly panics because all his collab partners always want to hurt him to make him do the team up. Mr. Enter is totally baffled by this. |
| 874 | * Their Duck Season/Rabbit Season bit over showing the intro. |
| 875 | * Josh is happy to get through the review with no abuse, to which Mr. Enter replies that no one really wants to attack Josh right now because he's already pretty much living in his mom's basement. Josh predictably explodes at that to end the episode. |
| 876 | * Josh speculating that Fluttershy's rant to Rarity and Pinkie Pie is the writer blowing off some steam, then [[VisualPun Mr. Enter throwing down a container marked "worms"]]. |
| 877 | -->'''Josh''': I mean, it does feel slightly unnatural. It sounds less like Fluttershy is saying true words and it's more the writer blowing off some sort of anger or frustration and using Fluttershy as a mouth piece. |
| 878 | -->'''Mr Enter''': Oh--oh--oh, dear. *throws down a container marked "worms". |
| 879 | -->'''Josh''': What was that? |
| 880 | -->'''Mr. Enter''': Nothing! Pay it no heed! *starts stomping* Oh my god, they're everywhere! |
| 881 | * An [[BlackComedy extremely dark example]] is that, in the description of the review, it gives a link to a type of rabbit stew on allrecipes by Mr. Enter's request. Considering how much he hated how Angel Bunny acted in this episode, [[TakeThatScrappy it's not hard to guess why he posted that link]]. |
| 882 | * [[ItMakesSenseInContext Celestia watching Josh through the window.]] |
| 883 | * Josh practically gushing over Iron Will. Then his reaction when Iron Will says "[[Creator/MrT I pity the fool]]" has him laying on his bed with the goofiest smile on his face. |
| 884 | |
| 885 | [[AC: The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well]] |
| 886 | * In a similar vein to the "Hearts and Hooves Day" review above, this one also starts with a bunch of bronies hanging out with Josh (who is naturally dressed as ComicBook/TheJoker, of course) and discussing their best/worst episodes. Things are going fine until one of them mentions hating the title episode, which everyone happens to agree with... except for Josh, who actually likes it and blurts that fact out ''[[TooDumbToLive to their faces]]''. Cue {{Death Glare}}s from the entire crowd and Josh getting chased (again) ''from Baltimore, Maryland '''all the way to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania!''''' |
| 887 | ** One of the bronies in the group is WebAnimation/SilverQuill[[note]](the man eating in a grey shirt with glasses)[[/note]], [[FunnyBackgroundEvent who apparently has teleportation abilities as he is in a different location in each frame]]. When Josh mentions liking the title episode, the camera pans over to see Silver standing near him while still eating. |
| 888 | * The review opens with him creatively stopping the intro to the show [[RunningGag as per usual]]. Except this time, he breaks into a take on the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wx6_MWVHZ4g When I'm Bored]]" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC69EZlJwq0 meme]]. It's so unexpected that it becomes hilarious. |
| 889 | |
| 890 | [[AC: The Cutie Re-Mark]] |
| 891 | * The [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]] cosplayer at the beginning. |
| 892 | -->you can feel love and tolerance crawling on your back |
| 893 | * The montage showcasing all the misfortunes that have befallen Josh during his many collabs. |
| 894 | * Josh is about to [[OncePerEpisode skip the intro like he always does]], when suddenly, his persona from his Equestria Girls movies reviews bursts in, demanding that he comes with him. The two then get into a [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture Delorian]] and travel through time. When they arrive, Josh asks why they had to do that. The answer? [[spoiler: To skip the intro]]. |
| 895 | ** [[spoiler: Josh even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] that this was pointless because just them talking was longer than the intro itself.]] |
| 896 | * Just as Josh is about to talk about the Sombra future, Ink Rose comes in requesting to join the review. When Josh says no, she questions why: |
| 897 | -->'''Josh:''' Because I made sure there'd be no collabs this time. I have built defenses from [[Franchise/StarWars the Force]], hacking, lasers, magic, mobs, and random slapstick generators. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And you're not Canadian.]] [[TemptingFate You have]] ''[[TemptingFate nothing]]'' [[TemptingFate to coerce me with.]] |
| 898 | -->'''Ink Rose:''' (PuppyDogEyes; split-second image of text saying "DEATH TO ALL WHO OPPOSE ME") |
| 899 | -->'''Josh:''' [[CutenessProximity ...That's cheating.]] |
| 900 | * When Ink Rose explains as to why none of the other villians show up in the Sombra future, it leads to this exchange: |
| 901 | -->'''Josh:''' (impressed) Wow, that's...actually pretty good. Guess I call you the Queen of Headcanons for a reason. |
| 902 | -->'''Ink Rose:''' Flattery? [[ShipTease Oh Josh, if you wanted to date me, you needed only to ask!]] |
| 903 | -->'''Josh:''' OKAY, MOVING ON! |
| 904 | * [[IdiotBall The "Really Twilight?" counter.]] |
| 905 | * When Zecora says that "Time is like a river". |
| 906 | -->'''Josh:''' No it's not! It's an ocean in a storm! |
| 907 | -->'''Ink Rose:''' Actually, I think it's more like a flat circle... |
| 908 | -->'''[[Videogame/KidIcarusUprising Hades]]:''' No, it's actually a [[Series/DoctorWho big ball of timey-wimey stuff.]] |
| 909 | -->'''Josh:''' NO! That's a stupid explanation! |
| 910 | -->(Hades cackles and disappears) |
| 911 | -->'''Ink Rose:''' What was that? |
| 912 | -->'''Josh:''' A nuisance. |
| 913 | * The Dragon Ball Z recaps. |
| 914 | * Josh getting increasingly frustrated with Ink Rose debunking his criticisms. |
| 915 | -->(talking about Chrysalis) |
| 916 | -->'''Josh:''' Wait a minute, why did she bother trying to fool them if she had a friggin' army right next to her? |
| 917 | -->'''Ink Rose:''' She's a manipulator. She probably wanted to take them over [[ForTheEvulz the "fun" way.]] |
| 918 | -->'''Josh:''' Why must you keep finding holes in my logic?! |
| 919 | * The two comparing Starlight to [[WesternAnimation/DanVs Dan]]. |
| 920 | * As they're signing off: |
| 921 | -->'''Josh:''' And it's hard to believe this is actually our first collab [[ExplainExplainOhCrap considering all the... fanart...]] |
| 922 | -->(swarms of [=FireRose=] shipping fanart slowly surrounds him) No... NO! What have I done?! AAAAHHH- |
| 923 | -->[[OncePerEpisode KA-BOOM!]] |
| 924 | |
| 925 | [[AC: Newbie Dash]] |
| 926 | * [=DaWillstanator=] enters the review and interrupts Josh's opening monologue about the episode's BrokenBase by casually using Josh's shower. |
| 927 | ** An easy-to-miss moment is the fact that Will says Josh is out of bath salts... despite the fact that he was using the shower. |
| 928 | * [[OncePerEpisode How is the intro skipped this time]]? [[spoiler:Rainbow Dash's smile upon learning she has been accepted into the Wonderbolts]] generates so much hype it blows it up entirely. |
| 929 | * The "brony tears" gag returns... only this time [[spoiler:the tears taste sweet due to them being TearsOfJoy from RD's promotion to Wonderbolt.]] |
| 930 | * Will and Josh find out that the show not only gave the Wonderbolts a Latin motto, but [[ShownTheirWork the meaning is actually accurate.]] They then proceed to discuss the implications of dead languages in Equestria... only for the two to break down laughing at [[TakeThat the idea that the show would explore this further.]] |
| 931 | * After Rainbow ends up in a trashcan: |
| 932 | -->'''Josh:''' Well, she ended up where she belongs. |
| 933 | -->(''A shouting mob is heard outside the room'') |
| 934 | -->'''Will:''' Do you have ''any'' survival instinct?! |
| 935 | -->'''Josh:''' Comes and goes. |
| 936 | ** And before that, the trash can in question was labeled "waifu". |
| 937 | * After Josh questions what Spitfire's nickname could be, Will begins whispering into his ear, and a chart on the side of the screen shows Josh's innocence falling from "Angel" to off the bottom of the chart entirely. Josh is subsequently left in a catatonic state. |
| 938 | -->'''Will:''' I warned him. |
| 939 | * At the end, they realize that Josh has defended the episode so well, no one cares about his opinion enough to attack him. He begins whimpering like a dog before the explosion. |
| 940 | |
| 941 | [[AC: A Very Minty Christmas]][[note]]Technically from the 3rd generation of Franchise/MyLittlePony.[[/note]] |
| 942 | * The opening sequence, featuring a Star Wars style recounting of why he and Dr. Wolf are doing the review and being forced to do it by WebAnimation/SilverQuill, including these exchanges: |
| 943 | -->'''Silver Quill:''' (Evil voice)Hello Joshua, welcome to the review. |
| 944 | -->'''Josh:''' No, no, no, no, no, I am not playing your sick game, whatever it is. |
| 945 | -->'''Silver Quill:''' Oh, but it's not my game Joshua, it's yours. |
| 946 | -->*Clip of the video explaining the wager he lost.* |
| 947 | -->'''Josh:''' ({{Beat}}) [[LameComeback Not Canon]]? |
| 948 | ** |
| 949 | -->'''Josh:''' Oh really, Mr. King? What do you call my subscription count?[[note]] A quick flash of text shows that he should have said, or meant to say, "subscriber" count instead of "subscription" count[[/note]] |
| 950 | -->'''Silver Quill:''' The world's biggest pity party. |
| 951 | -->*Que Apply cold water to that burn image macro* |
| 952 | ** |
| 953 | -->'''Dr. Wolf:''' What if we refuse to participate? |
| 954 | -->'''Silver Quill:''' (Evil Voice) Then I have a second track queued, [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment twenty hours of this]]. |
| 955 | -->*Shows the "Stir-whip-stir-whip-whip-whip-stir" clip from Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial.* |
| 956 | -->'''Josh/Dr. Wolf:''' (desperately) We'll do the review. We'll do the review. We'll do the review. |
| 957 | ** The fact that Silver Quill's evil voice is accompanied by [[VocalDissonance a plushie of himself]]. |
| 958 | ** Josh's anger filled rant fantasizing killing Silver Quill repeatedly, referencing [[VideoGame/FinalFantasy several]] [[Manga/DragonBall familiar]] [[VideoGame/SuperPaperMario franchises]], and Dr. Wolf telling him to calm down. |
| 959 | * Really, almost the entire review is filled with funny moments. You can tell just how much pain Josh and Dr. Wolf are experiencing from having to review this movie, and it gives no shortage of opportunities to mock it. |
| 960 | * The [[BlatantLies "legal" document]] Josh puts on screen. |
| 961 | -->'''Josh:''' So, um... if you all could sign this form that says you won't sue me for lost brain cells, I'd appreciate it. |
| 962 | -->'''The form in question:''' In consideration of the risk and loss of brain cells while participating in watching "A Very Minty Christmas" (the "Activity"), and as consideration to the rights to participate in the Activity, I hereby, for myself, my heirs, executors and is anybody still reading this? Seriously, who among you has the time to sit down, pause this review, and read the whole of a legal waiver just to see if it actually is a legal waiver and not just a bunch of jokes? I don't think anyone does. I bet I could sneak the entirety of the "Bee Movie" script into this "legal document" and not ONE of you would even notice. In fact... According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. There, ya happy? Because that's all of that stupid meme you're getting. Anyway, sign here ____ and here ___. |
| 963 | |
| 964 | -->'''I AM VOLUNTARILY KEEPING UP APPEARANCES AND DOING MY BEST TO MAKE THIS LOOK LIKE A LEGIT LEGAL DOCUMENT. THIS WILL ONLY BE ON SCREEN FOR A FEW SECONDS SO IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT I PUT INTO THIS STUPID WORD FILE. AS LONG AS I FORMAT IT RIGHT, IT’LL BE CONVINCING. ANYWAY... DID YOU SEE ROGUE ONE? I DIDN’T LIKE IT. THE CHARACTERS WERE TOO BLAND, DIDN’T REALLY CARE ABOUT THEM. ALTHOUGH I WILL SAY THAT SCENE AT THE END WHERE THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER COMES IN AND SAVES THE REBELLION WAS AWESOME. ANYWAY, SIGN HERE________________.''' |
| 965 | * Everyone's response to G3!Rainbow Dash saying that you can never have too much of something you love. |
| 966 | -->'''Josh:''' Alcohol. |
| 967 | -->'''Dr Wolf:''' Candy. |
| 968 | -->'''Josh:''' Electricity! |
| 969 | -->'''Dr Wolf:''' Fast food. |
| 970 | -->'''Josh:''' Television. |
| 971 | -->'''Josh's editor:''' Sushi! |
| 972 | -->'''Dr Wolf:''' Jokes. |
| 973 | -->'''Silver Quill:''' [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Alibis!]] |
| 974 | -->({{Beat}} as Josh, Dr Wolf, and Josh's editor all get shocked expressions.) |
| 975 | -->'''Silver Quill:''' Oh c'mon, don't pretend you don't enjoy it. |
| 976 | * At the end of the review, when it comes to Silver Quill's turn to say Merry Christmas, Josh [[MoodWhiplash promptly launches]] [[BrickJoke a nuke at Silver Quill]], [[CameraAbuse launching him into the camera]] during the usual ending of Josh's videos. |
| 977 | |
| 978 | [[AC:Baby Cakes]] |
| 979 | * Alex suddenly popping into the review to explain/rant why the scene of Pound Cake crawling on the ceiling is straight up NightmareFuel. |
| 980 | -->'''Alex:''' '''THEY JUST REFERENCED''' '''F'''[[SoundEffectBleep *yay*]]'''ING''' '''''[[Film/{{Trainspotting}} TRAINSPOTTING]]''!!!''' |
| 981 | ** Heck, the whole review could arguably count due to Josh's utter disdain for the episode. |
| 982 | |
| 983 | [[AC:Celestial Advice]] |
| 984 | * Antony C's introduction. |
| 985 | -->'''Josh:''' Hi, this is The Fiery Joker-- |
| 986 | -->'''Antony C:''' BEARD. |
| 987 | -->(''cut to a clip of a crowd rioting'') |
| 988 | -->'''Antony C:''' ''BEEEEAAAAAARD!'' |
| 989 | -->(''cut to the "MY EYES!" clip from WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'') |
| 990 | ** Josh's subsequent rant about how 99% of the comments on his most recent videos are mainly about his beard. |
| 991 | * Josh's utter {{Squee}} when Twilight actually [[MundaneSolution consults Celestia]] [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot for once]]. |
| 992 | * Antony C's joy when it's revealed that there are dragons in this show. |
| 993 | -->'''Antony C:''' Dragon...Dragonlands?!? There are finally dragons in the show?!? |
| 994 | -->'''Josh:''' ''(Giving his best YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe face and proceeds to point out a giant picture of [[ElephantInTheRoom Spike]])'' |
| 995 | -->'''Antony C:''' Ohftft...he doesn't count. |
| 996 | |
| 997 | [[AC:Power Ponies]] |
| 998 | * His parody of the Atop the Fourth Wall theme. |
| 999 | * His various checklists. |
| 1000 | ** The first one is when Twilight asks about Spike's comic book: |
| 1001 | -->'''Josh:''' "'''1:''' This is obviously not the first time he's read that kind of comic and you're only NOW asking him about it? That's kinda inconsiderate. '''2:''' You never seem to have the same consideration when he's trying to sleep, Little Miss I-Must-Save-The-World-At-All-Hours-Of-The-Night. '''3:''' When did you start wearing a sleeping cap? '''4:''' Mane-iac. Probs for the pun. Makes me wanna punt kittens." |
| 1002 | ** The second one almost immediately comes after the first one: |
| 1003 | -->'''Josh:''' "'''1:''' Why do so many female villains have evil living hair as a superpower? '''2:''' Wait a minute, you're introducing her backstory in the very same issue where she's also the Power Ponies' most evil nemesis? Boy, that escalated quickly. Unless this is the pony version of WesternAnimation/TheKillingJoke, which raises a ''lot'' more questions. '''3:''' "Power mad owner of a hair care company?" What, did she envy the power of that lipstick had over ponies? ''[Imitating a random civilian]'' "Look out! She's out for revenge on Mascara wands!" ''[Normal voice]'' '''4:''' What kind of shampoo was she making to give her that kind of superpower? What, is she a ''Literature/CaptainUnderpants'' villain?" |
| 1004 | ** [[RuleOfThree The third one]] almost immediately follows the second one, after Spike explains what the Mane-iac's goal is: |
| 1005 | -->'''Josh:''' "'''1:''' What is an object that powerful doing just sitting in a museum? You'd think the Power Ponies would put that under some tighter security. '''2:''' How do you just let something like that slip out? If he's that incompetent and he keeps screwing things up for the Power Ponies, why do they keep him around? How have they not drowned him in a burlap sack yet? I mean, if he's explicitly telling supervillains where to find perpetual energy balls, he kinda needs to be silenced." |
| 1006 | |
| 1007 | [[AC:Dragon Quest]] |
| 1008 | * Josh announces a three-part Spike marathon for the next few reviews and gleefully states that the first episode he'll be looking at is "Dragon Quest". [[ThisIsGonnaSuck He then loses his cheery smile and replaces it with a look of horror.]] |
| 1009 | --> ''[[LittleNo Ohhhh nooooo...]]'' |
| 1010 | * The way he skips the intro this time? [[spoiler:[[Franchise/DragonQuest A Slime draws near]]]] |
| 1011 | * This little moment: |
| 1012 | --> '''Rarity:''' "Who says camouflage has to be drab?"\ |
| 1013 | '''Josh:''' "Eh, it isn't the worst camouflage I've seen. I mean, [[TakeThat it's better than the Army's]].\ |
| 1014 | '''''SHOTS FIRED''''' |
| 1015 | * Another "SHOTS FIRED" moment regarding the "King of the Hill" game: |
| 1016 | --> '''Josh:''' "I haven't seen a game's rules this poorly defined since [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Pro Bending]]. |
| 1017 | * When the ponies try to cheer Spike up by [[FantasticRacism assuring him that being like other dragons would be a bad thing]], this happens: |
| 1018 | --> '''Josh:''' "[[SuddenlyShouting YOU'RE A CREDIT ]][[YouAreACreditToYourRace TO YOUR RACE, SPIKE!]]"\ |
| 1019 | ''(he then proceeds to give the episode's message a big, fat 'F', [[SoundtrackDissonance followed by the MLP theme]], while his editor performs a FreezeFrameBonus)'' |
| 1020 | * When it's revealed that the ponies have no information on dragons in spite of the 1,000+ years Equestria's been a kingdom, Josh decides to list off the plot holes. |
| 1021 | --> '''Editor:''' (from Editor Hole) "OH COME ON! ANOTHER LIST?! ARE YOU F[[SoundEffectBleep *yay*]]ING KIDDING ME?!\ |
| 1022 | '''Josh:''' "'''1:''' [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E10SecretOfMyExcess Eleven episodes ago, Zecora showed she had knowledge on the dragons.]] [[FridgeLogic Why not ask her?]] '''2:''' If ponies know nothing about dragons, [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E23TheCutieMarkChronicles how did the School For Gifted Unicorns come across [Spike's] egg?]] '''3:''' If the ponies knew nothing about dragon eggs, why'd they decide to use it in a school entrance exam? '''4:''' If this was a "special case", why was Twilight's exam so special to warrant a rare dragon egg? '''5:''' If this ''wasn't'' a special case, and there were more entrance exams like Twilight's, [[FanficFuel shouldn't there be a bunch of other little dragons with unicorns running around]]? '''6:''' If there ''are'' a bunch of dragons running around with young unicorns, why not study those? '''7:''' You've had Spike for his formative years up until he's at least a preteen. No one's asked to study him? No one's asked for information on him? Either Equestria doesn't foster inquisitive minds, [[UnfortunateImplications or this society is pretty xenophobic]]. Honestly, I think it's the latter explanation. Why?"\ |
| 1023 | (shows a bunch of clips of the MLP cast stating how barbaric and scary other dragons are)\ |
| 1024 | '''Josh:''' "[[ShapedLikeItself ... that.]]"\ |
| 1025 | '''Editor:''' [[InelegantBlubbering (sobbing)]] "Please... no more lists... I'll be good!" |
| 1026 | * Josh forgot to record a line immediately after the above list, so he had to use Speakonia, prompting the line: "so this is why it's being read by Stephen Hawking." |
| 1027 | * [[WhatTheHellHero Josh's reaction to]] Twilight allowing Spike to venture out into the wilderness on his own. |
| 1028 | * When Garble has Spike tail-wrestle with [[https://derpibooru.org/1172138 a certain dragon]]: |
| 1029 | --> '''Josh:''' "This guy's got it backwards; he skipped ''arm'' day." |
| 1030 | * After Spike performs his belly flop: |
| 1031 | --> '''Spike:''' "Was I... that bad?"\ |
| 1032 | '''Garble:''' "No dude, that was awesome! No ''pony'' could live through a belly flop like that!"\ |
| 1033 | '''Josh:''' "Wait... you thought he was ''literally'' a pony?"\ |
| 1034 | '''[[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged Frieza]]:''' "That's stupid! You're stupid! Stop being stupid!" |
| 1035 | * After the episode ends, and he gives his verdict: |
| 1036 | --> '''Josh:''' "I'm the Fiery Joker, and [[spoiler:this is my first episode in the F range]]. And I got [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E24OwlsWellThatEndsWell two more]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E10SpikeAtYourService of these]]. Pray for me." |
| 1037 | * The title card shows Twilight and Garble in Xenophobe Detention. |
| 1038 | |
| 1039 | [[AC:Shadow Play]] |
| 1040 | * Josh questions the Mane Six giving up so easily when they Ponehenge. |
| 1041 | --> ''Okay, hold on, you take three days to decipher a journal and want to keep going, yet you give up 20 seconds after finding lost ruins that you can't translate? "HAHA! After years of searching, I've finally found scrolls from the library at Alexandria! ...Eh, but they're so disorganized... [[GaveUpTooSoon This wasn't worth the trip]]."'' |
| 1042 | * Josh taking his [[ContrivedCoincidence "Convenient!"]] RunningGag up to eleven. |
| 1043 | |
| 1044 | [[AC:To Where and Back Again]] |
| 1045 | * When revealing that Starlight is now Twilight's apprentice, Josh acknowledges that he skipped reviewing the episode covering that due to having already done a reaction video with other people. |
| 1046 | * The RunningGag of the intro being skipped involves it being hacked away by [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Sombra]]. |
| 1047 | * Josh goes over the quirks of each of the Mane 6 that occurs every episode. He basically says that Fluttershy's quirk is [[ShapedLikeItself in her name]], and he expresses surprise at Rarity avoiding her character quirk (which is talking about something pretty). |
| 1048 | * Twilight's quirk of providing a common sense solution that ends up backfiring is pointed out extremely by Josh. She ends up internally screaming about Starlight inviting Trixie. Said internal screaming continues as the two continue to bond. |
| 1049 | * When the ponies of Starlight's hometown start crowding her with excitement, [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 "Need a dispenser here"]] can be heard among them. |
| 1050 | * Congratulations Trixie. You've won the coveted "[[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Not as much of a jerk as you could have been" award]]. |
| 1051 | * Josh loses focus of the story over Trixie freaking out at Thorax's presence. |
| 1052 | * When Josh realizes that the focus of the episode is on four reformed villains of the series, he dubs them [[ComicBook/SuicideSquad Horseshoeicide Squad]]. |
| 1053 | * Josh's response to Discord saying that they haven't run into a single changeling. |
| 1054 | --> '''Josh:''' Discord, you're supposed to be the GenreSavvy one. Stop TemptingFate, and... [[ImStandingRightHere Thorax is right there]]. Be a little more sensitive. |
| 1055 | |
| 1056 | [[AC:My Little Pony: The Movie]] |
| 1057 | * Josh's understandable frustration at the removal of the Princesses from the plot. He even caps of his rant with this gem: |
| 1058 | -->'''Josh:'''-and I'm not giving you a point for show accuracy there. |
| 1059 | * The very addressing of ElephantInTheRoom which is the absence of the [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy Royal Guards]] during the invasion. You can tell that it hit ''way'' close to home in the rant, even lampshading that a certain set of characters would have been much more reliable help. |
| 1060 | * Tempest Shadow being compared to [[Franchise/StarWars Kylo Ren]], except being less complex and interesting than the latter and being a female pony. |
| 1061 | ** He even says that the comparison even fits [[spoiler: into the whole fake name trope]] at the end of the movie. |
| 1062 | * Josh comparing [[SugarBowl Equestria]] with the [[RealIsBrown rest of the world]] and actually thinks Capper's bluff that the ponies are infected with a disease that only they themselves are immune to is quite plausible. When Capper says the "parts will fall off" part, he only has this to say. |
| 1063 | -->'''Josh:''' I don't like how vaguely you worded that. ''(moves his hands over his crouch)'' |
| 1064 | ** After hearing Capper's song about how he is the friend you need, he immediately asks when [[GenreSavvy he is going to backstab the Mane 6]]. When the timer says '''3 minutes''': |
| 1065 | -->'''Josh:''' Huh, new record. |
| 1066 | * When Pinkie talks about the huge number of breakables in Capper's home, he immediately thinks of her unleashing her [[DieChairDie inner]] [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link.]] |
| 1067 | * Apparently, the Storm Guard remind him of Star Wars stormtroopers. |
| 1068 | * When Tempest finds Pinkie's mane hair and immediately knows that it means the Mane 6 are in town: |
| 1069 | -->'''Josh:''' ''(deciding to continue Tempest's line)'' [[BreakingTheFourthWall It's the only thing in this frame with any saturation.]] |
| 1070 | * When Capper dismisses Rainbow Dash's claims of doing the Sonic Rainboom, Josh sarcastically says that he must have got it confused with [[BerserkButton Double Rainboom]]. He didn't even get to finish the last two words before it cuts away to a technical difficulties notice saying that it was there to censor the use of the term to prevent him from going insane...again. |
| 1071 | * When Verko [[TooDumbToLive appraises Tempest like one of his wares]], Josh states that Tempest is thinking of a thousand ways to end him in her head. |
| 1072 | * The whole rant with Grubber, saying how [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking his dialogue kills any tension, states the obvious and the jokes aren't funny.]] |
| 1073 | * In response to the sky pirates' implied threat to the Mane 6: |
| 1074 | -->'''Josh:''' [[SincerityMode Wow, that was actually terrifying.]] ''(starts clapping)'' |
| 1075 | * When he realizes that the song names aren't that creative, future song names suggested include "Mondo", "Way Cool" and "Duuuuuuude". |
| 1076 | * In response to the Sonic Rainboom which blows their cover, Rainbow gets struck with a "stupid" stamp complete with a guy yelling how stupid she is in the background. |
| 1077 | * When Twilight rigs a hot air balloon for the Mane 6 to ride in like the intro, Josh wonders if he has to [[RunningGag skip the sequence]]. |
| 1078 | * Josh's surprise that Tempest would [[DisneyDeath actually blow Capper and the pirates out of the sky only to deflate when he is told that they all survived.]] |
| 1079 | * Upon Rarity's complaint that they had to crash the balloon, he recommends her not to play [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]] or she will have an aneurysm. |
| 1080 | * When Princess Skystar takes the Mane Six to the kingdom of the Hippogriffs, Josh can’t help but be reminded of ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''. |
| 1081 | --> '''Josh:''' To be fair, this movie would’ve benefited greatly with some hamminess from '''''Sir Creator/BrianBlessed'''''! (''Cuts to clip of Boss Nass [[LargeHam LOUDLY SHAKING HIS JOWLS]]'') |
| 1082 | * When he has to look up Queen Novo's voice actor, he apologizes if he pronounced her name wrong. |
| 1083 | * Princess Skystar being called a new Pinkie Pie. |
| 1084 | * His frustration when [[ButtMonkey Spike]] gets turned into a puffer-fish. |
| 1085 | * Applejack's magical hat. |
| 1086 | * Josh sarcastically saying if Hasbro has the guts to [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt kill off Twilight]] in the final struggle. When Twilight survived and [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything is flying down on a ray of light]] (implied to be using the staff): |
| 1087 | -->'''Josh!Twilight:''' Your goddess Twilight has come to reap the earth of all unbelievers. Basically, everyone who doesn't [[MerchandiseDriven buy the toys.]] |
| 1088 | [[/folder]] |
| 1089 | |
| 1090 | [[folder:FOB Equestria]] |
| 1091 | [[AC: Taking Chrysalis' Invasion Too Seriously]] |
| 1092 | * Firebrand's epic bit of WildMassGuessing about Chrysalis' true motives in trapping Twilight in the caves below Canterlot: |
| 1093 | -->'''Firebrand:''' Notice how her taunting cause Twilight to attack the real Cadance out of rage. What if that...was intentional? What if Chrysalis intentionally sent Twilight down there to hurt...and... maybe ''kill'' Cadance? [[FridgeHorror That way if Twilight did manage to escape, she would have to go through more ponies. And after offing Cadance, offing three more ponies wouldn't be too hard. And if she came back, she'd realize that she'd killed the real Cadance, and would probably become distraught and broken, and wouldn't resist the invasion due to her despair.]] Possibly even [[DrivenToSuicide committing suicide]], forever rending the Elements of Harmony useless and giving Chrysalis free reign to enslave Equestria ''under a parasitical tyranny!'' (Beat) Oh sweet Celestia, what is wrong with me? |
| 1094 | |
| 1095 | [[AC:Taking Heartbreakers Too Seriously]] |
| 1096 | * [=Dr.Wolf=] is one of the few collab partners who broke into the base not to be ejected via party Howitzer, because Firebrands choice was either let the psychiatrist leave on his own terms, or take his new running gag too seriously and forever be known as the guy who shot one of the most popular and beloved O.C's in the entire fandom out of a cannon. Firebrand is left stunned and stuttering as doc take his leave. |
| 1097 | |
| 1098 | |
| 1099 | [[AC:Taking Gift of the Maud Pie Too Seriously]] |
| 1100 | * [=MangaKamen=] getting increasingly frustrated over the fact that Pinkie never once thinks to just ask Rarity to just make a rock pouch to give to Maud, nor Rarity even once offering to make said rock pouch, leading to Josh having to take rather... unorthodox measures to calm him down. |
| 1101 | -->'''Josh:''' Aramau, [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra do the thing]].\ |
| 1102 | '''Ari:''' Yes, sir.\ |
| 1103 | (''Ari goes in [=MangaKamen's=] direction, where blender-like sounds can be heard off screen. We then cut back to see [=MangaKamen=] in a giant cherry Slurpee'')\ |
| 1104 | '''[=MangaKamen=]:''' ''How...?''\ |
| 1105 | '''Josh:''' She's very good at what she does.\ |
| 1106 | '''[=MangaKamen=]:''' But... this is my favorite! How would she know tha—?\ |
| 1107 | '''Josh:''' ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Very. Good. At what she does!]]'' |
| 1108 | |
| 1109 | [[AC: Taking The Mane Attraction Too Seriously]] |
| 1110 | * The entire review can be considered this seeing the normally calm [=MisAnthroPony=] acting ''silly'' and borderline {{Adorkable}}, compared to Commander Firebrand who's just used to everything. |
| 1111 | * '''The Introduction''': Firebrand's listening to a jukebox only for [=MisAnthro=] ''to collapse right into the room''. |
| 1112 | --> '''[=MisAnthro=]:''' Hey dude! '''HIDE ME!''' |
| 1113 | ** Add to the fact Ari was ''going to KILL MAP'' for throwing off her schedule for '''six months''' for a collab review with Josh. When Firebrand can't calm Ari down, he just kisses her. ''With pixelation for the kiss''. Makes it funnier when Ari confirmed on Twitter the gag was done because ''Josh doesn't have vectors of Firebrand and Ari kissing''. |
| 1114 | ---> '''[=MisAnthro=]:''' *seeing the two kiss* Aaaaw that's so sweet! |
| 1115 | ---> '''Firebrand:''' Now honey, we'll do the collab and you can chase him later, okay? |
| 1116 | ---> '''[=MisAnthro=]''': *expression turns to confusion* What?! |
| 1117 | ---> '''Ari:''': *''spins away with hearts in her eyes''* Ooookaaaaaay! |
| 1118 | ---> '''Firebrand''': SOOOOOOOOOOO~! *uses his magic to ''get his gun''* |
| 1119 | ---> '''[=MisAnthro=]:''' AW COME ON! *facehooves* |
| 1120 | ** What makes it funnier is MAP explains how he delayed the collab for six months due to personal drama that happened a while back and eventually got up the courage to do the collab...only to see Firebrand ''using listening to his jukebox again'': |
| 1121 | ---> '''Firebrand:''' Huh, what? Were you saying something? |
| 1122 | ---> '''[=MisAnthro=]:''' *groans* You're a jerk sometimes, you know that? |
| 1123 | ---> '''Firebrand:''': I get that a lot. |
| 1124 | * Firebrand shows annoyance at Rarity's line how unicorns always exaggerate necessities...only for [[spoiler: ''[[{{Hypocrite}} Ari to come in the room and give Josh a sandwich with weird toppings]]'', including popcorn chicken "for motivation"]]. |
| 1125 | --> '''Firebrand''':...-________- Thanks. |
| 1126 | --> '''[=MisAnthro=]:''' That sounds gross. (beat)...Can I have a bite? |
| 1127 | --> '''Firebrand''': '''''NO IT'S ALL MINE!''''' |
| 1128 | --> '''[=MisAnthro=]:''' O_O! |
| 1129 | * The two interpreting a FridgeHorror theory how after Svengallop ditches Coloratura, ''he went off to work with [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 Songbird Serenade]]''. Cue them showing shock and horror. |
| 1130 | * MAP breaking into more {{Adorkable}} nature when Josh makes an interpretation on how AJ probably told Coloratura about the death of her parents. |
| 1131 | --> '''[=MisAnthro=]:''' '''GO FAN FIC WRITERS, TO YOUR KEYBOARD!''' |
| 1132 | * After MAP breaks into a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} speech about how the episode was Amy Keaton Roger's final episode on the show and how she was able to give Lauren Faust's wishes to be explored in the show (Rarity getting her big boutique and the CMC getting their cutie marks) and her own good elements in her own writing (Giving Gilda closure and reuniting her with Rainbow Dash, the aforementioned Rarity getting her big boutique and the CMC getting their cutie marks) and the episode showcasing Applejack's best traits, Firebrand invokes the MoodWhiplash: |
| 1133 | --> '''Firebrand:''' Alright, get in the party howitzer. |
| 1134 | --> '''[=MisAnthro=]:''' What? No, why would I do that?! |
| 1135 | --> '''Ari''': *off-screen* '''''TIME'S UP!''''' |
| 1136 | --> *Ari proceeds to '''explode the wall and appear next to them''', all while glaring at MAP* |
| 1137 | --> '''[=MisAnthro=]:''' O_O!! |
| 1138 | --> '''Firebrand:''' Get in the party howitzer, or get eviscerated. Your choice. |
| 1139 | --> '''Ari''': GIVE ME YOUR SPINE SO I MAY BEAT YOU WITH IT! |
| 1140 | --> '''[=MisAnthro=]:''' '''''[[ScrewThisImOutOfHere HOWITZER IT IS! BYE!]]''''' *runs off to the left and is shot ''across the room'' by the party howitzer''* |
| 1141 | * Firebrand kisses Ari again to calm her bloodlust, causing her to collapse a squeak out "cheater". |
| 1142 | |
| 1143 | [[AC: Taking Not Asking for Trouble Too Seriously]] |
| 1144 | * Creator/TheGreenScorpion’s introduction. Josh and Ari finished installing a new security system, only for Green Scorpion to easily enter due to his small size. At first Josh and Ari don't notice him and wonder where his voice is coming from, which leads to a frustrated yell of "DOWN HERE, IDIOTS!" Pan down to reveal Green Scorpion, who lets out a small “Hi!” that is very reminiscent of [[WebAnimation/LucasTheSpider a certain adorable spider]]... |
| 1145 | |
| 1146 | [[AC:Taking Parenal Glideance Too Seriously]] |
| 1147 | * The opening features Ari going spare over her parents' upcoming visit; this leads into ''several'' hilarious moments. |
| 1148 | ** Firebrand questions whether or not he should ask what's up, only to be reminded by Lunacorva he's engaged to Ari now so he's entitled. When he asks, in a sugary sweet "What's wrong, Sweetie?" no less, Ari snarls "''They're'' coming!" and when asked if she means Cthulhu, adds "WORSE!" which makes Firebrand realize she means her parents. |
| 1149 | ** Firebrand then tries to calm her down after a rant about how awful her parents are by saying it's nice that her parents are coming. Ari responds with "If by 'nice', you mean [[FunWithAcronyms Nightmare Inducing Cranial Entropy]], then yes." Firebrand compliments her on how that sounded and she chirps that she learns from the best. |
| 1150 | ** When Lunacorva overhears Ari's complaints about her parents, [[BlackComedy he offers to feed them whichever organs Ari requests]]. |
| 1151 | ** A second attempt at calming her by showing her [[GoodParents Windy Whistles and Bow Hot Hoof]] winds up getting him dragged into reviewing the relevant episode with her and when he complains that they've already done a review, Ari fires back that he's done multiple reviews with Dr. Wolf and Silver Quill so why not his wife-to-be? She then counters his complaint that the episode makes her cry with [[DarkAndTroubledPast "Well, excuse me for having a past!"]], which he complains isn't fair. |
| 1152 | ** Lunacorva is sent off to fix up a room for Ari's parents. As she's handing him the list of requirements, she remarks "Follow these directions exactly and I'll kill you." Lunacorva asks "Don't you mean ''or'' I'll kill you?" to which Ari responds that he's going to fail anyway so she wanted to get the kill threat out of the way. |
| 1153 | ** Firebrand and Ari playfully mock Scootaloo's antics in the episode, including Firebrand mimicking Bow informing his wife that the pony he found in the yard "is loud yet strangely adorable!" |
| 1154 | ** At the end of the episode, Lunacorva comes back and to Ari's shock, says her parents were quite polite. He then continues that they were lovely and he's well-aware it's fake because he's not stupid, [[RunningGag like all of the guards Firebrand is trying to train]]; Ari realizes that the good behavior can only mean bad things so she runs off to confront her parents and then can be heard whining "Mother, I don't want a black wedding dress! I'm getting married, not going to my own funeral!" |
| 1155 | |
| 1156 | [[AC:Taking Marks and Recreation Too Seriously]] |
| 1157 | * Really, we could just say "[[LargeHam Jasper]] [[CloudCuckoolander Pie]]" and be done with this. |
| 1158 | ** His EstablishingCharacterMoment: bursting into the base in order to deliver Firebrand a "Cheddarzuma Revenge" pizza (half-pepperoni and sausage, half-cheese, with ''tons'' of extra cheese). |
| 1159 | --->'''Jasper Pie:''' [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No seriously]], ''this'' is his favorite. We're very concerned for his arteries, ''and'' his colon. [[CrossesTheLineTwice We-we're probably going to have to arrange a funeral for the toilet after this.]] |
| 1160 | ** Ari reveals that she's the one who ordered the pizza, [[SecretTestOfCharacter in order to see whether or not the guards would actually let Jasper in]]; if they didn't, they're learning, and if they did, she and Brand get pizza and Brand gets to yell at them again. Jasper is ''not'' happy that he was being used like that, and demands to do the review as compensation. |
| 1161 | ** Brand notes that he was able to find the episode in its entirety on [=YouTube=], despite Hasbro being notorious about its copyright claims. |
| 1162 | --->'''Jasper:''' Huh. Guess Hasbro doesn't care enough to take it down. ''[[SarcasmMode That's]]'' [[SarcasmMode gotta be a surefire sign for the episode's quality!]] C'MON, KIDDIES! LET’S TAKE A LOOKSIE, SHALL WE?! |
| 1163 | ** Jasper wonders why Pipsqueak doesn't have a Cutie Mark yet, thinking that he would've gotten one for being [[UnexplainedAccent pointlessly British]] by now. |
| 1164 | ** Brand expresses disappointment at the fact that the CMC's camp isn’t a boot camp, wanting to see Michelle Creber (Apple Bloom) repeat her infamous "Y'all are a bunch of sissies!" incident at [=BronyCon=]. |
| 1165 | ** "The power of TFS references COMPELS YOU!" "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!" |
| 1166 | ** Rumble's sudden change in voice actors (from an actual kid to Vincent Tong) being represented by him literally getting hit with the puberty truck. |
| 1167 | ** Jasper Pie comparing Thunderlane signing Rumble up for the Cutie Mark camp to getting signed up for soccer. |
| 1168 | --->'''Jasper:''' THOSE PARTICIPATION TROPHIES ARE NOTHING BUT ''LIES!!!'' |
| 1169 | ** This dialogue: |
| 1170 | --->'''Jasper:''' Well, it's like my Uncle Fettucine.\ |
| 1171 | ''({{beat}})''\ |
| 1172 | '''Firebrand:''' In what way?\ |
| 1173 | '''Jasper:''' IT BEATS ME!! He spent a good quarter of my career drunk as a skunk, yet he ''still'' gets management royalties!! [[TooMuchInformation He took at least]] ''[[TooMuchInformation five baths]]'' [[{{Squick}} in the pizza sauce!!]]\ |
| 1174 | '''Firebrand:''' ...thank you. [[BrainBleach Those images are just what I needed]].\ |
| 1175 | '''Jasper:''' ''Ain't you glad I came around today?!'' |
| 1176 | ** The duo's reactions when Rumble declares that he doesn't want a Cutie Mark. |
| 1177 | --->'''Firebrand:''' JUDAS!!\ |
| 1178 | '''Jasper:''' NONCONFORMITY!!\ |
| 1179 | '''Firebrand:''' SACRILEGE!!\ |
| 1180 | '''Jasper:''' ''SHAAAAAAAAME!!'' |
| 1181 | ** Jasper's reaction when Scootaloo claims that Rumble not wanting a Cutie Mark is the strangest thing she's ever heard. |
| 1182 | --->'''Jasper:''' Really? J-just really. Really now? You're really saying this. In a world where magical SNAKE CHICKEN THINGIES turn you into STONE, and you have to feed RICOTTA CHEESE to a CHIMERA, ''THIS'' IS YOUR LINE IN THE SAND?!\ |
| 1183 | '''Firebrand:''' Uh, you wanna take it down a notch?\ |
| 1184 | '''Jasper:''' I'LL TAKE IT DOWN A NOTCH WHEN I ENTER THE SWEET EMBRACE OF THE END CREDITS!!!\ |
| 1185 | '''Firedbrand:''' ''(staring at a cup of coffee in shock)'' How did ''I'' become the calm one?! Collaborations bring out ''very weird'' roles for me. |
| 1186 | *** Later, after an {{Angrish}} rant about Starlight Glimmer, Jasper wonders when ''he'' became the angry one. |
| 1187 | ** Jasper complaining about background characters being sheep, followed by a clip from [[WebAnimation/ASDFMovie "Beep Beep I'm a Sheep"]] with the background kids' faces edited over them. |
| 1188 | ** "Tonight on Literature/AnimalFarm: blank flanks goo-oo-oo-ood! Cutie Marks baaaaaaad!" |
| 1189 | ** The RunningGag regarding Brand and Jasper’s annoyance with the haiku filly. |
| 1190 | --->'''Firebrand:''' That's gonna get annoying for everyone around her ''real'' fast. |
| 1191 | |
| 1192 | [[AC:Taking Flutter Brutter Too Seriously]] |
| 1193 | * Zephyr Breeze's presumptuous flirting with Rainbow Dash eventually proves too much for Eliyora and she vomits. Copiously. Twice. |
| 1194 | * Because of Rainbow Dash and Millie's reactions to the word "peeved", ''Fluttershy'' gets Fluttercensored. |
| 1195 | [[/folder]] |
| 1196 | |
| 1197 | [[folder:Let's Play]] |
| 1198 | [[AC: Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]] |
| 1199 | * In Part 1, Josh starts to say, "[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Dawn of the First Day]]", but then stops to actually figure how many hours are in a week before finishing the quote. |
| 1200 | ** Even funnier when you realize that he got the number of hours ''wrong''. He was calculating 12 hours a day, instead of 24. |
| 1201 | ** Also, as a RunningGag throughout that and the second part, whenever the characters are unable to say "photos", he substitutes in a random rhyming word like "dodos", "hobos", and "bolos". |
| 1202 | * In Part 9, he devolves into utter {{Angrish}} when he gets killed no less than four times by Assassin Nobodies, three in succession in The Woods. It's made funnier by the episode's description box: "I can eat [[{{Superboss}} Lingering Will]] for breakfast... yet [[EpicFail this happens...]]" |
| 1203 | * From Part 42: |
| 1204 | ** Vaatiwithblue describing Vivi as a "Jawa with a wardrobe malfunction." |
| 1205 | -->"The hell's a Vivi?" |
| 1206 | ** Josh's ''LONG'' string of {{Unusual Euphemism}}s and GoshDangItToHeck when hit with the Anti-form. |
| 1207 | *** The {{Unusual Euphemism}}s being a reference to Team Four Star Abridged. |
| 1208 | ** Fascist Fashion. |
| 1209 | * During Part 52, Josh COMPLETELY forgets about what he was doing during that part, neglecting to finish Halloween Town (Where many people pointed it out in the comments). In part 53, he then remarks that the Pridelands level was supposed to be a level done after Halloween Town, where at that moment, remembers that he forgot to finish it, the description of the video [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] it: "I... skipped a thingy... an important thingy..." |
| 1210 | ** The fans proceed to remind him of this blunder during [[https://youtu.be/yzJgaY18yrM?t=4737 his and Ari’s livestream Let’s Play]] of the game. |
| 1211 | --->'''Josh:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis SHUT. UP.]] Shut the F up, okay? [[NeverLiveItDown I am never going to live that down!]] |
| 1212 | * In Part 55, he then has a choice between saving Santa or going to beat up Scar. He chooses to beat up Scar, remarking that Santa could "rot a little more". |
| 1213 | * His rant + ClusterFBomb in Part 61 upon The Reveal that [[spoiler: The [[BigBad Ansem]] in the first game [[MindScrew wasn't really Ansem]].]] |
| 1214 | --> ''"F**k you! F**k you! F**k you! F**k you! F**k you!'' '''''F**kyouf**kyou!! F**K YYYOOOOUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!''''' ''This is the STUPIDEST,'' '''''STUPIDEST''''' ''PlotTwist I have EVER heard!! Creator/MNightShyamalan would look at this PlotTwist and say: "[[EveryoneHasStandards Wow! That was incredibly stupid!]]"! This is the dumbest'' '''''[[{{Retcon}} RETCON]]''''' ''of ANYTHING I've EVER seen!'' '''''[[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer YES!!!]]''''' ''It COMPLETELY'' '''''DESTROYS''''' ''the value of the first game!! I!'' '''''hate''''' ''this PlotTwist! This was [[JumpingTheShark the point in Kingdom Hearts...in the Kingdom Hearts canon]] where I realised that [[PunctuatedForEmphasis This! Story! Was! Not good!!]] Where Creator/TetsuyaNomura is [[AssPull making up the story, as he goes along]]! This! Is!'' '''''Terrible!!!!!'''''" |
| 1215 | * Josh fighting [[ThatOneBoss Demyx]] in Part 62 is ''hands-down'' the series' CMOF. He spends half the episode stuck on said battle, throughout which he undergoes near-total SanitySlippage before finally prevailing. And when [[TheCavalryArrivesLate Mickey shows up after the fight]], Josh angrily [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out]] for not helping. |
| 1216 | |
| 1217 | [[AC: Kingdom Hearts III]] |
| 1218 | * Josh's [[BigNo reaction]] when he found Demyx is in this game, with implication of another boss battle with him, [[spoiler:though there are not any]]. |
| 1219 | [[/folder]] |
| 1220 | |
| 1221 | [[folder:Miscellaneous]] |
| 1222 | * His over-the-top {{Squee}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KHOKpY4lbo later]] about Hyrule Warriors also counts. Like his Alicorn Twilight reaction, Creator/TheQuarterGuy [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzeoScfpJfE loops this one, complete with "It was a joke" caption at the end]]. |
| 1223 | ** And really, those videos are accompanied with "Bãtutã Din Moldova" from ''VideoGame/RabbidsGoHome'', in the same vein of ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'''s [[MemeticMutation "Vicious Cycle" fad]], which amps up the funny elements of both videos. |
| 1224 | * Several interactions between himself and Doug and Rob Walker in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn4w1SXQP2c this video]]. Memorable moments: |
| 1225 | ** At the very beginning, Doug brings up Josh's AwesomeMcCoolname and says how it sounds like a superhero name. "THE SCORCHER!" |
| 1226 | ** Josh mentions how he'd like to see a gag on one Nostalgia Critic video where the Critic is ranting, then the camera pans back and he's just standing on a soap box. The idea is talked about briefly and soon becomes an idea for a RunningGag where the Critic is standing on bigger and bigger soap boxes each time until he's on a box photoshopped to be as big as the Sears Tower, then becomes a joke where the Critic has no idea how he got ''on'' the soap box. |
| 1227 | --> '''Doug''': That's not bad! We might use that joke... |
| 1228 | --> '''Josh''': [[{{Squee}} Oh my gosh! I made...I got...yes! My life is complete!]] |
| 1229 | --> '''Rob''': We have to kill him though, before he can tell anyone else that it was his. |
| 1230 | --> '''Doug''': Yes, please chop your head off after this is done. |
| 1231 | --> '''Josh''': ''(cheerfully)'' Will do! |
| 1232 | --> '''Doug''': I like this guy! |
| 1233 | ** Josh suggests they get on to the part where Doug critiques Josh's videos (that's what the call was supposed to be for). Doug gets right into it. "Well, it sucks. Uh, I hate every minute of it, your face is ugly, and I don't like it at all." |
| 1234 | *** Similarly, later on, Doug says that Josh's editing is "too slow". Josh thinks he's being serious and actually writes that down before Doug says he's joking. |
| 1235 | ** Doug and Rob apparently thought Josh recorded his videos from a prison because of the brick wall behind him. Which leads to this exchange, after they bring up how Josh's window and curtain cause an odd light effect on one side of the wall when he records: |
| 1236 | --> '''Rob''': Paint the windows black. People will think you're a serial killer- |
| 1237 | --> '''Josh''': ''(cutting Rob off frantically)'' [[SincerityMode No, no, no no no! I cannot do that, I cannot do that.]] If I do that, I will get in trouble. I will get [=NJP'd=]. Do you know what that means? |
| 1238 | --> '''Doug''': But what does it matter? [[BrickJoke You're in prison already!]] So what does it... |
| 1239 | --> '''Josh''': ''[[SuddenlyShouting I'm in the MILITARY! Not in PRI-]]'' [[MoodSwinger there's not]] [[TakeThat much of a difference.]] |
| 1240 | ** Josh asks Doug what his father's MOS was. Doug and Rob do not respond, and the onscreen text says "I detected their brains did not compute." before Josh rephrases the question. |
| 1241 | * ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgIzbx3qAQA Beata Nomura]]'' is both hilarious and [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome epic]] at the same time. |
| 1242 | * [[http://joshscorcher.tumblr.com/post/79295353106/diamond-tiara-x-firebrand-colt-i-ship-it This exchange on his Tumblr blog:]] |
| 1243 | --> '''Anon:''' Diamond Tiara X Firebrand (Colt). I ship it! |
| 1244 | --> '''Josh:''' [[TemptingFate You know, for all of your claims for you people to ship me or my OCs with anything, I've yet to actually see it done. This is what? The 50th time?]] |
| 1245 | --> ''*two pictures of his OC being shipped with Diamond Tiara show up*'' |
| 1246 | --> '''Josh:'''[[{{Angrish}} ! WHAT? THE!]] [[CurseCutShort MOTHER-]]... Gah, walked RIGHT into that one... |
| 1247 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exxB8coArsk The end of Unscripted 52.]] Josh is asked what he thinks of the ''Franchise/KamenRider'' franchise. His response? |
| 1248 | --> '''Josh''': '''[[Series/KamenRiderFourze SPACE IS AWESOME!!!!!]]''' |
| 1249 | * His 3rd Live Unscripted was full of funny moments. |
| 1250 | ** Near the beginning, when Josh is asking the viewers to send him questions to answer, Decker can be heard offscreen: |
| 1251 | -->'''Decker:''' [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Is mayonnaise an instrument?]] |
| 1252 | -->'''Josh:''' No, Decker, mayonnaise is not an instrument. Horse radish is not an instrument either. |
| 1253 | -->'''Decker:''' Tartar sauce! |
| 1254 | -->({{beat}}) |
| 1255 | -->'''Josh:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Tartar sauce is not an instrument either]]. |
| 1256 | ** Josh's rant about Devil's Due, which slowly degrades into {{Angrish}}. |
| 1257 | * In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUXfSlJzxnk Shenanigans with 1: Musically Tangled]]'', while discussing ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'', they talk about Kristoff being the least popular character in the fandom, which leads to Josh calling him the [[WesternAnimation/EquestriaGirls Flash Sentry]] of Frozen. |
| 1258 | * In ''Shenanigans with 2'', [=HSpirit=] is disconnected at one point, so Josh responds by [[PercussiveMaintenance casually beating his avatar over the head with a guitar]], because why not? |
| 1259 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPSBIEnOW9M Josh Scorcher reviews A Dog and Pony Show after downing ghost pepper sauce]] |
| 1260 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCIDZzZ1DIk This Dr. Wolf video.]] Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}. |
| 1261 | * He, along with other Military Bronies do a live reaction to the Season 5 premiere, and upon seeing the Mane 6 trapped, we get a reaction from Josh, and it's the way he says it that makes it funny. |
| 1262 | --> '''Josh''': What is wrong with this?! |
| 1263 | * The origin of the Beata Nomura song. Josh and some of his friends were talking about the possibilities of a Frollo boss in a Skype chat, and Josh had spent 15 minutes typing the song. |
| 1264 | * Josh, along with [[WebVideo/MLPAnalysis ToonKritic]], [=NickyvMLP=], and [=IMMATOONLINK=] got together and played ''Superfight''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0RKI-g7PTE The result is hilarious.]] |
| 1265 | ** Just one amazing moment: Comicbook/IronMan... but there's ''fifty'' of him... and [[spoiler:each one is walking twelve wiener dogs]]. |
| 1266 | * How does Josh wait for a ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' game to end? [[spoiler: He lip synchs Nightwish's rendition of ''Phantom of the Opera", which was playing in the background]]. Gets funnier when the moment also lands in his highlight reel for the month, courtesy of added text and some zooming in: |
| 1267 | -->[[spoiler: Tickets are now available for Josh's new lip syncing tour called "I'm Waiting For This [=TF2=] Match to Finish", for just $50.]]\ |
| 1268 | [[spoiler:Tickets are now sold out.]] |
| 1269 | * In his 4th stream of playing [[VideoGame/DustAnElysianTail Dust: An Elysian Tail]], starting at 39:30, he starts going "Ooooh," "Ahh," and other such noises to express everything he's feeling as he plays. He keeps this up for over TEN MINUTES. |
| 1270 | * At Whinny City Pony Con 2016, Josh lip-synced to Music/WeirdAlYankovic's "Albuquerque", and clearly had a ball doing it. Watch it [[https://youtu.be/lyE3rNDcsWM here]]. |
| 1271 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4xVzX1_IMM This]] [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]-styled review of ''Film/TheHuggaBunch'' has quite a few hilarious moments, mostly relating to all the AccidentalInnuendo in the movie. This has to be the best bit, though: |
| 1272 | -->'''Hugsy:''' Shh! Talk quietly through here.\ |
| 1273 | '''Bridget:''' Why?\ |
| 1274 | ''(camera pans to show an entire field of napping Hugga Bunch babies)''\ |
| 1275 | '''WebAnimation/SilverQuill:''' Wait...they ''procreate?''\ |
| 1276 | '''Lightning Bliss:''' [[SuddenlyShouting NOT SAFE FOR BLISSY!]]\ |
| 1277 | '''Dr. Wolf:''' Moving on! |
| 1278 | * His [[https://youtu.be/dCoas37rJC8 Nintendo Direct Reaction 3/8/2018]]: |
| 1279 | ** His reaction and the chat's reaction to his reaction to ''{{VideoGame/Okami}} HD'', [[SarcasmMode his favorite game ever]]. |
| 1280 | ** His complete bafflement at the Octo Expansion trailer for ''VideoGame/Splatoon2''. |
| 1281 | * [[https://youtu.be/jIvwunbpKSs Slice of Base Life 1]] is a mix of this and Heartwarming, as it explains how Firebrand and Aramau met (in-universe, at least), and Aramau’s backstory, which reveals that she grew up in a funeral home of all things. And then we get the reveal that “Aramau” is actually just a nickname. Her full name is ''[[spoiler:[[UnfortunateNames Arid Mausoleum]]]]''. |
| 1282 | * While he didn't appear on-screen, let's just say that Josh, being one who preferred ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' more than the [[RunningGag body-shatteringly (KA-BOOM) popular]] ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utCZ2yNnxmw isn't that amused on who Square-Enix picked for their villain rep in Smash.]] Doubles as Heartwarming, because the end of the video still conveys that Josh is happy for the ''VII'' fans despite his disappointment. |
| 1283 | * The opening segment of "Fixing ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates''", guest starring Aramu and Creator/TheGreenScorpion: |
| 1284 | -->'''Oscar''': Oh, yeah, Josh is aware of a few people who have words about ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates.''\ |
| 1285 | '''Josh''': No surprise [[BerserkButton you're one of them.]]\ |
| 1286 | '''Oscar''': You knew what you were getting into when you came up with this topic!\ |
| 1287 | '''Josh''': Yeah, yeah, all right, ANYONE ELSE WITH AN OPINION ABOUT THIS!?\ |
| 1288 | '''Ari''': Ahem. We wouldn't be married if it wasn't for ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]''. So it's something I feel very (screen covered with red and her voice gets amplified and mechanically distorted) '''''PASSIONATELY''''' (screen and audio return to normal) about. Can I join??\ |
| 1289 | '''Josh''': (flattened against his couch) ...[[HenpeckedHusband Yes, dear.]]\ |
| 1290 | '''Oscar''': (EyeTake) [[OhMyGods Oh sweet Naga...]] |
| 1291 | ** The first segment covers the gameplay. However, since the three have no real gripes about it... |
| 1292 | --->'''Josh:''' Hey guys, this [script] is blank!\ |
| 1293 | '''Ari and Oscar:''' (nonchalantly) We know. |
| 1294 | * Josh did a stream for research on the consoles he would put on his Top 15 Worst Consoles list, but if you really want schadenfreude, he uploaded a montage of his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsm7DNd3mAI LaserActive Meltdown]] for your viewing pleasure. (Well, technically, someone else did the editing, but permission given!) |
| 1295 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVI_FIuTQvk "Ari is pregnant and expecting twins" Christmas video]] is heartwarming on its own. But Josh can't help but insert hilarity in that: |
| 1296 | ** The fact that the doctor is portrayed by ''his pet dog'' (voice acting is involved). |
| 1297 | ** After Josh learns the first time that Ari is pregnant, he excuses himself outside... and then proceeds to have a mass-{{Squee}} similar to the ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'' announcement video. Then comes back all composed and just says "Nice." to the dog doctor. |
