| 6 | The annual charity stream brings together the main trio and friends for a big event, and as such, leads to inevitable hilarity on a live stream. |

| 10 | [[folder:The Runaway Guys Colosseum 2018]] |
| 11 | * Due to a donation asking for it (Raizo Devil at a little past the first hour mark), Jon decides that every $10,000 raised [[https://clips.twitch.tv/DreamyCuriousAxeBloodTrail they]] [[https://clips.twitch.tv/TacitAgitatedTireKappaRoss will]] [[https://clips.twitch.tv/ObedientAlluringCourgetteTheTarFu do]] [[https://clips.twitch.tv/TalentedShinyHareVoHiYo Emile's]] [[https://clips.twitch.tv/RoundFurryMarjoramFUNgineer Hiker]] [[https://clips.twitch.tv/SillyAmazingCormorantPJSugar Dance]]. |
| 12 | * The first game they play is Mario Kart, and for $50 someone can make one person wear oven mitts for a race. Xilehnoc, already notorious among Jon's community for the night he gave out ''93 gift subs'' during one of Jon's streams, donates ''$2000'', deciding to have everyone do two races while wearing one mitt. |
| 13 | * At $10,000 total, they decide to do four races while ''blindfolded''. Hilarity ensues. |
| 14 | * Wheel of Fortune is next, and the donation for $50 is to make someone try to solve the puzzle immediately. Most people, of course, go for Emile. Jon even admits that was his goal. Emile's first guess is "Ginger Snaps Tigeer" and it just goes downhill from there. |
| 15 | ** You could say the [[{{Pun}} misfortune]] started in the very first round, when they were unable to even guess a single letter. (Calibrius landed on BANKRUPT on their first spin, and MISS TURN on their second.) |
| 16 | ** Tyler, who is not playing, puts on a toga dress and pretends to be Vanna White. |
| 17 | * For Dungeons & Dragons, Masae is a Halfling named Mittens who is afraid of the color brown, Emile is the monk Feista Ki who has a pet rock named Brock who he thinks is really alive, Josh is Barry, the world's most renowned cowbell player, and Jules has to shout every time he says a name. |
| 18 | ** During Stephen's explanation of the game, this happens. |
| 19 | --->'''Emile:''' No story? You mean we're playing the Paper Mario Sticker Star expansion? ''[[[RimShot Cue perfectly timed donation jingle]]]'' |
| 20 | ** The reasons for why they got arrested are also great. Josh [[NakedPeopleAreFunny stole the pants off the king]] while he was asleep, Emile bludgeoned someone with his pet rock, Jules [[NakedPeopleAreFunny stripped naked in the market]], and Masae smuggled chickens into the city. |
| 21 | ** When Emile is tasked with naming Brock, he proceeds to jokingly say that nobody can have him, at which point Masae states that she doesn't ''want'' him. [[https://clips.twitch.tv/InspiringImportantJuiceAMPEnergyCherry What happens next]] is perhaps his best OpenMouthInsertFoot moment since the infamous ''Mario Party 6'' stream. |
| 22 | ** Mittens attempts to steal the keys from the jailer (while Barry distracts him by playing cowbell). She sneaks up with such a good roll that the warden is unsure that she's still even in the cell anymore. She then attempts to pick his pocket with a 5, and is basically caught with her hands in his pants. When he demands to know what she's doing, she says 'You're very sexy', and rolls a 19 for deception to the effect that he believes her implicitly. |
| 23 | ** The viewers can donate to introduce plot elements, and someone plays off a joke from Stephen's videos with a Barry, introducing Barry's ex-wife Brenda who demands her alimony payment. |
| 24 | * The ''[[VideoGame/ALinkToThePastRandomizer Link to the Past Randomizer]]'' race starts off between Jon and Tim, but with a donation incentive to make someone in the room switch places with someone playing. The ''instant'' the race starts, a donation comes in telling Jon and Tim to switch controllers. |
| 25 | ** At one point, a donation says that whoever walks past the room next has to switch with whoever's playing as Sonic (originally Jon's game, with Tom playing at the time). Cue Jon walking out of the room and [[LoopholeAbuse walking by not five seconds later to start playing again.]] |
| 26 | ** Somehow the chat gets obsessed with a random lamp on a table behind them, and it results in people donating $100 to turn the lamp on or off. By the end of the next stream, the lamp becomes a full-blown RunningGag, with Jon's Discord outright worshipping it as a god. |
| 27 | *** Next stream, the lamp gets stolen and [[https://youtu.be/F-k-OgG07ps?t=780 Tom comes in as "LORD DONA'TOR" to investigate who did it.]] He then reveals himself as the culprit and demands donations to bring back the lamp [[LargeHam in the hammiest way possible]]. |
| 28 | *** For that matter, Tom's spur-of-the-moment creation of LORD DONA'TOR purely because he'd happened to come down to the morning stream wearing his Sith Lord-like bathrobe. |
| 29 | * The guys play VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU in Gamepad mode, which allows a fifth player to place blocks and do a few other things. They use this by splitting into 2 teams, each having 45 minutes to get as far in the game as they can while someone from the other team uses the Gamepad to interfere. Highlights include: |
| 30 | ** One of the donation incentives, for $250, is forcing all players to bubble (which makes them fail the level). While Emile's team is playing, Josh, who's on Jon's team, makes a $250 donation right at the end of a level, but makes it just a few seconds too late, so Emile's team just ends up bubbling at the start of the next level instead. |
| 31 | ** A $50 donation gives the playing team immunity from Gamepad interference for one minute. At one point, Jon's team gets FOUR immunity donations at once. |
| 32 | *** Masae complains about this, since Emile's team (which she was on) got very few immunities. A viewer responds by [[{{Troll}} giving Jon's team another immunity donation right as the four minutes are up]]. |
| 33 | ** The $100 incentive is to switch one player out for another. At one point, a viewer donates to switch Stephen out for... nobody, leaving Jon's team down a player until someone swaps Stephen back in. |
| 34 | *** And then, when donations to do just that start coming in, [[EpicFail the iPad they're reading donations on crashes]], delaying Stephen's return until they can reboot it and actually read the donations. |
| 35 | * For the second game of ''Werewolf'' chat decides the "village" is inexplicably set in a Taco Bell and all the "villagers" are anime cosplayers, with the Taco Bell "gong" sound used to represent a new day starting. For the third, the village is the ''restroom'' of the Taco Bell and all the villagers are ''strippers''. During Jules' explanation of who the werewolf chose to kill, [[https://clips.twitch.tv/RoughPeppyLyrebirdNononoCat the Taco Bell gong chimes in again with perfect timing]] to crack everyone up. |
| 36 | * One of the last events of day 2 is an 8-player game of ''[[VideoGame/MarioParty Mario Party 7]]'', which involves four teams of two. There's a donation incentive to swap any two players, leading to a lot of gems. |
| 37 | ** Reese lets slip that a donation involving swapping Jules comes up right as he and Masae trigger a board event, with the potential of gaining or losing a star from it. Jules pretends to accidentally lose a star, only to reveal that he deliberately did it since he was switching teams anyway and does so immediately after. Masae is [[{{Understatement}} less than pleased.]] |
| 38 | ** On the penultimate turn, a donation asks for Emile and Josh to switch when Emile's on the team most likely to win. Cue ''Emile himself'' donating on the very last turn to switch with Josh again. That team indeed ends up winning, meaning Emile literally [[BribingYourWayToVictory bought his way to victory]]. Making it even better is that at the results screen, another donation asks for them to switch ''again'', leading everyone to claim that Josh won by doing absolutely nothing. |
| 39 | ** When Masae and Emile engage in a little [[BlowingARaspberry raspberry fight]], Jon responds with [[ShipTease "Alright, now kiss."]] Masae's ''quick'' to refuse. |
| 40 | ** A $1.50 donation asks "Is this enough to get LORD DONA'TOR to dab?". LORD DONA'TOR deems it's enough for a "dib". |
| 41 | ** When the gang plays the "Gimme a Brake" minigame (in which the player must [[GameOfChicken brake their scooter at the farthest distance without falling into a pit of mud]]), the only player who ends up failing is an AI-controlled Luigi, who didn't even ''attempt'' to stop his scooter. Then again, he was teamed up with an AI-controlled Daisy, who won the minigame. Once again, Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing. |
| 42 | ** One donor asks if everyone in the room could sing the ''Series/HannahMontana'' theme song. ''Nobody'' in the room knew how it went (Adriana knew the melody, but not the words), so what does [[LetsPlay/StephenPlays Stephen]] do instead? Make up a Hannah Montana song to the tune of "Happy Birthday"! |
| 43 | * During a round of ''VideoGame/OneTwoSwitch'' as part of Jon's "Mystery Game Tournament," Tom and Stephen decide to get [[https://clips.twitch.tv/FaintTenuousGuanacoAMPEnergy a little too into]] the "Milk" minigame, with Tom constantly mooing at the top of his lungs like a heifer in heat, and Stephen producing sounds that could best be described as an ungodly mixture of childbirth and extreme constipation. |
| 44 | ** Later in the Mystery Game Tournament, the gang plays the ''TabletopGame/{{Pictionary}}'' expy in ''VideoGame/GameAndWario'', and at one point is tasked with drawing a bagel. Those familiar with Jon's own streams and personal life should have no trouble guessing [[https://clips.twitch.tv/BumblingLovelyTapirJebaited?tt_medium=clips_embed&tt_content=player_title what happens next]]. |
| 45 | * Day 2 closes out with a ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' race between Jules and Masae, with donation incentives to force one to wear oven mitts, wear a blindfold, or reset their game. Towards the end, with both of them at the final Bowser fight and blindfolded, Josh tries to guide Jules. Except he's actually looking at ''Masae's'' screen, and his directions cause Jules to not only die at Bowser, but also fall to his death when trying to enter the pipe to retry the fight, forcing Jules to redo the entire stage. [[INeedToGoIronMyDog Josh runs out of the room to hide in the kitchen]] when the others notice and point it out. Donation incentives for letting Jules slap Josh become a RunningGag for the rest of the stream. |
| 46 | -->'''Jules:''' "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME, JOSH!?" |
| 47 | ** A bit earlier, both Jules and Masae are forced to reset their [=N64s=] from a donation incentive... only for Masae to promptly get ''another'' donor-induced reset immediately after. |
| 48 | * Day 3, Jon starts off the Smash Bros. block with Falcon Roulette, and it's as ridiculous as it sounds. Jon has 8 Captain Falcon amiibo, all but one at Level 50, each having their own stat builds: |
| 49 | ** El Capitan (No changes, completely vanilla) |
| 50 | ** Glass Doug (GlassCannon that heals with every KO) |
| 51 | ** [=FalconZero=] (a rather speedy StoneWall) |
| 52 | ** Sgt. Falco (JackOfAllStats) |
| 53 | ** ƒ[=@=]/©°ñ, a.k.a. "Wingdings" (MightyGlacier that starts with a [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Mr. Saturn]]) |
| 54 | ** Birdman (FragileSpeedster with a gun) |
| 55 | ** Douglas (LightningBruiser) |
| 56 | ** The Dud ([[JokeCharacter The Level 1 Falcon]]) |
| 57 | * Upon everyone picking out their Falcons, it turns out... Emile, the known lucky guy, is stuck with The Dud! |
| 58 | * After every round, whoever got last place is eliminated and chooses one amiibo at random to remove before the rest are randomly reshuffled. Despite this, Masae manages to pick [=FalconZero=] ''three matches in a row'', and it either wins or gets second in every single one of those matches. It gets to the point that Masae begs Jon to let her keep Zero, and when someone else gets Zero in a later match, she actively roots against her own amiibo. |
| 59 | * Emile has virtually no idea why one of the Captain Falcons is named [=FalconZero=], so Jon has to literally spell out that it means '''VideoGame/FZero'''. The entire room applauds Emile with a series of slow claps, much to his chagrin. |
| 60 | * Adriana's adorable "crying" after she almost corrupts/deletes an amiibo's data by accident. Just when you thought ''Masae'' was the queen of cute crying. |
| 61 | -->'''Adriana:''' "I ruined... I ruined the entire stream!" |
| 62 | * When the roulette gets down to four players, whoever was last eliminated gets to design the stage for the next match. [[ArtificialStupidity This leads to a lot of instances of ]][[https://clips.twitch.tv/GeniusAlivePterodactyl4Head the AI having navigational issues.]] |
| 63 | * ''[[VideoGame/WiiParty Wii Party U]]'' features the return of Dance with Mii. Jon's constant [[AsideGlance Aside Glances]] and Tim getting way too into it combine to make it a magical experience. |
| 64 | * Due to some of the Runaway Guys being contestants for Thrown Controllers this time, Jon made special challenges for Tim and Emile should a [=TRG=] challenge pop up (since they obviously can't battle against themselves). What does Jon have for Emile? "Say nice things about VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar [[https://clips.twitch.tv/AmorphousSmilingWalrusHassanChop for a minute."]] clears the challenge, letting out a frustrated "[[PrecisionFStrike FUCK]]" after that... ''only for Jon to reveal that it wasn't the real challenge.'' Jon fooled him into talking! |
| 65 | * When a donor asks Masae "What's your favorite Chugga-ism?", she merely responds with "Can I choose his silence?". |
| 66 | * Jon being forced to play "Dance With Mii". [[https://clips.twitch.tv/ModernTamePieGingerPower He's not]] [[https://clips.twitch.tv/MildAstuteMonkeyGOWSkull happy.]] |
| 67 | * The first round of Worms: WMD ends with Jon finding a [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill Concrete]] [[DeathFromAbove Donkey]] and using it to obliterate Josh and Jules' final worms without knowing specifically what it would do in advance. |
| 68 | ** [[OhCrap Josh's reaction to said Concrete Donkey]] is priceless. |
| 69 | * The second round of Worms is even better. On the first turn, Josh uses an [[ApocalypseWow Armageddon]], which completely wipes out Jon and Tom's teams and severely damages his own, Jules, and Stephen's teams. |
| 70 | ** In the aftermath of said Armageddon, [[TemptingFate Stephen points out that he hasn't yet had his turn to play and only has one severely damaged worm left]]. Not one second later, his last worm gets killed by [[StuffBlowingUp an exploding mech]], causing everyone to burst out laughing. Stephen's delayed reaction to this is golden. |
| 71 | --->'''Stephen:''' "I almost got to play." |
| 72 | [[/folder]] |
| 73 | |
| 74 | [[folder:The Runaway Guys Colosseum 2019]] |
| 75 | * Opening up every intermission, [[VideoGame/MarioParty Play A Mini-Game]] plays during a mock-up minigame start screen featuring the previous TRG Colosseum. That's not the funny part. The funny part is that after a while it instead started shuffling between ''Music/TimmyTurnersGrandDad rips'' instead! |
| 76 | * [[https://youtu.be/h-THtq6ZlX8 The sitcom-style intro]], which introduces every member of the cast and crew in the typical "stop to smile at the camera" fashion. Individual segments include: |
| 77 | ** Adriana Figueroa [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext sitting in a fridge]] that has nothing but water bottles in it. |
| 78 | ** Marriland juggling between typing on three different computers. |
| 79 | ** Tim playing video games [[CatchPhrase in the bathroom]]. |
| 80 | ** Creator/TylerSederwall delivering pizza with no pants on (censor blur included). |
| 81 | ** Mallory of [=MalMakes=] taking out a freshly-baked game console. |
| 82 | ** [=ToxicXEternity=] performing a ''séance'' surrounded by multiple people. |
| 83 | ** LetsPlay/JoshJepson playing a game of pool, before being suddenly interrupted by a smiling Emile, who is then violently pulled out from under the table by LetsPlay/MasaeAnela. |
| 84 | ** The 8 Bit Drummer using spatulas, several pots and pans, and one of [[BrickJoke Tyler's empty pizza boxes]] as a makeshift drum set. |
| 85 | ** Even the Lamp gets its own credit, though it's very... [[MoodWhiplash eerie]]. |
| 86 | ** LetsPlay/StephenPlays laughing and petting a toaster while sitting on a bed by himself, seemingly talking to no one. |
| 87 | ** [=FamilyJules=] exiting the shower and spraying conditioner into his hair, [[EyeScream only to accidentally spray his eyes as well]]. |
| 88 | ** LetsPlay/TomFawkes showing irritation with the camera, then entering his room before LORD DONA'TOR leaves. Who then notices the camera and runs away from it. |
| 89 | ** And finally, a frustrated-as-usual [[LetsPlay/ProtonJon Jon]] attempting to get everyone in position for the group shot. |
| 90 | * In-between games, a short skit plays during intermissions and they're amusing in their own right. Some entries include... |
| 91 | ** Masae checking her phone only for Adriana to pop in for a hug. Masae wants none of it, though, and tries to leave. Cue Adri clinging onto Masae by the leg as she tries, up until Masae goes ''to the bathroom''. |
| 92 | ** Tim, Masae, and Emile burying Tyler on the beach...and ditching him. Tyler begs for help, complete with a BigNO. |
| 93 | ** Tom being his LemonyNarrator self as he describes some classic arcade games. |
| 94 | ** Stephen vlogging about going to [=CostCo=] to buy some bananas for Jon. Since you can get three pounds of bananas for an incredibly cheap price at [=CostCo=], Stephen buys enough to ''spell out Jon's name'' on the pool table. The latter just casually accepts it, and collects them all with the hopes of gaining a 1-Up. All while those around him break out into a spontaneous a-capella cover of the bonus room theme of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry''. |
| 95 | ** The following skit shows Mal attempting to grab a banana from, uh... "Jon's Banana Horde", only for Jon to let out some territorial monkey screeches to ward her off. Mal can't help but corpse the entire time. |
| 96 | --->'''Jon:''' "'''AHH! AHH! AHH! AHH!''' ...That's right. Ask next time." |
| 97 | ** Adriana parodying the classic "You're watching Creator/DisneyChannel!" bumper. And in a nod to [[https://youtu.be/S-5pzxAcCm4 this viral video]], her attempt to write out "TRG" ends up looking like a big scribble. |
| 98 | ** Stephen at the drive-thru... with LORD DONA'TOR. |
| 99 | --->'''LORD DONA'TOR:''' "[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas I will have two number nines, a number nine large, a number six with extra dip, a number seven, two number-]]"\ |
| 100 | '''Stephen:''' "LORD DONA'TOR, you can't ''conceivably'' eat that much food..."\ |
| 101 | '''LORD DONA'TOR:''' "Alright fine, fine, I'll have a number five. But no pickles, '''GOD HELP YOU''' if there are pickles!!!" |
| 102 | *** A later bumper is literally just LORD DONA'TOR sitting at the beach, silently eating his burger. |
| 103 | ** Jon heading to Player's Choice to buy some video games; he ends up buying ''two huge stacks of them''. Then the cashier ([[TheCameo Roland]] from WebVideo/StephenVlog) convinces him to buy even more, because "Money!" |
| 104 | ** Tim emerging from a porta potty dressed like [[Film/TheLastJedi Luke Skywalker]] and wielding a lightsaber. [[ChekhovsGag This joke is actually more important than you realize...]] |
| 105 | ** Jerod playing a sports announcer who interviews newly-crowned eSports champion [=ToxicxEternity=]. He attempts several times to ask what game he was playing during the match, and grows increasingly frustrated when Toxic keeps changing the game's genre. |
| 106 | --->'''Jerod:''' "What game were you playing?"\ |
| 107 | '''Toxic:''' "I was out there, I was getting the headshots, I picked up all the frags, and I just- I thought I was gonna go down, but I ended up getting the headshots, so that's cool."\ |
| 108 | '''Jerod:''' "So... so it was a first-person shooter game?"\ |
| 109 | '''Toxic''' "But then I ran out of manna, and I was just like 'Ugh, I need more potions.' And I just- ugh, got so stressful, like I really didn't think I was gonna have enough magic, so I dunno."\ |
| 110 | '''Jerod:''' "Sooooo a... MMO?"\ |
| 111 | '''Toxic:''' "But yeah, I ended up executing the right build order and ended up rushing the enemy base. It was super-fast timing, and like I was saying, it was really sick. Like, I feel like I deserve that win, so..."\ |
| 112 | '''Jerod:''' "Th-that's awesome, um, but ''what game was it that you were playing?''"\ |
| 113 | '''Toxic:''' "Ohhh, I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you were asking. Well, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint my main support was from my parents...]]" |
| 114 | ** Toxic, Masae, Adriana, and Jules are coming home from a movie. The first three enter a room afterwards... and lock Jules out. It turns out that the door they went through was a One-Star door from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', and Jules can't go in until he gets a Star from Bob-omb Battlefield. |
| 115 | *** Jules was talking to Josh about this later on, and what's particularly funny about this is that as seen on Stephen's vlogs made during Colosseum, Josh had no idea they were recording. |
| 116 | ** Stephen and Dan try to figure out what skits need to be filmed for the last day. Three of those ideas include "Masae pushes Emile into an oven", "Masae pushes Emile off of a cliff", and "Masae pushes Emile into a volcano." At one point, Dan finds an idea titled, "Hot Tub Naked Tyler". Cue a shot of Tyler naked in a hot tub waiting for the bumper to be filmed, followed by Stephen and Dan crossing that idea out. |
| 117 | *** After the video was posted, Tyler himself posted a comment stating, "I’m still in the hot tub is Stephen on his way yet??" |
| 118 | * About 1:45 in, someone donates as "I AM DAN", with a message of "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taco_Bell Chalupas]] are super awesome." This is a reference to a joke [[Funny/StephenVlog Stephen played on Dan and Alex]]. |
| 119 | * One donation asks [=FamilyJules=] to spritz water on himself in the face while shouting, [[Franchise/{{Persona}} "PERSONA!"]] This becomes a RunningGag for the rest of the marathon. |
| 120 | * A Metronome Battle on ''[[VideoGame/PokemonStadium Pokémon Stadium 2]]'' was showcased as a donation milestone, each player having a Clefairy, Clefable, and Togetic on their team. Due to the random nature of Metronome[[note]]Uses one move out of 251 as of Generation II[[/note]], HilarityEnsues. |
| 121 | ** [[https://clips.twitch.tv/MildRespectfulFiddleheadsWholeWheat Clefable used Transform!]] [[ShapedLikeItself Clefable transformed into Clefable!]] |
| 122 | ** Clefable used Metronome, which uses Mirror Move, which then uses Charm. |
| 123 | * [[https://clips.twitch.tv/HotBreakableRaisinDancingBaby This moment]] from the Super Mario World One Mind segment. |
| 124 | -->'''Emile:''' I mean, do I want to know why [[BoobBasedGag Rosalina's boobs]] are, like, coming out of [[LetsPlay/ProtonJon your Twitter account's]] ass?\ |
| 125 | ''[[[{{Corpsing}} (half of the room bursts into laughter)]]]''\ |
| 126 | '''Jon:''' Don't draw that! Don't-- don't draw that!\ |
| 127 | '''Masae:''' DO IT! [[https://twitter.com/PortalKat42/status/1124440884353880066 DO IT!]] [[https://twitter.com/roselii49/status/1124422923022786560 DO IT!]]\ |
| 128 | '''Tyler:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Wait, your Twitter account's ass? What does that look like?]] |
| 129 | * Super Mario World One Mind involves four players on Super Mario World with control of Mario randomly switching between them every second. One incentive is for two people to swap controllers. Jon [[TemptingFate suggests someone donate to give him all 4 controllers]], and sure enough, it happens. And a few minutes later, ''he gets an oven mitt''. |
| 130 | * Towards the end of One Mind, a donation asks Chugga to say a few puns. Since Jon is blindfolded and one of his controllers is upside-down, the best Chugga can come up with is "Up-blind-down". That's not the funny part. The funny part is that, [[LamePunReaction right on queue]], [[https://youtu.be/KllCXuQzVZQ?t=2620 the Mario Party fail jingle plays]]. |
| 131 | * Some segments include live music performances. One incentive is for 8-bit Drummer to play "[[Music/DragonForce Through the Fire and Flames]]". Once that's met and he gets into the first verse, Tom [[https://www.twitch.tv/videos/427449424?t=0h4m33s throws in the opening lyrics for]] "[[Music/MenWithoutHats Safety Dance]]", throwing everyone off. |
| 132 | ** What's better is that after the song is done, they play it AGAIN but keep changing the speed to the point where 8-bit Drummer just gives up keeping with the song |
| 133 | ** One of the songs 8-bit Drummer did a cover of is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_31mVNBIRhs Jules' cover of Wario laughing.]] While it isn't audible (due to the dulcet tones of Wario screaming his lungs out), Josh was laughing so hard it looked like he had trouble breathing[[note]]He made the mistake of trying to drink some of his water during the cover and choked[[/note]]. 8-bit Drummer's funny faces and commentary of the song were the icing on top. |
| 134 | --->'''8-bit Drummer:''' ''[Near the start of the song]'' "I HATE YOU JULES, SO MUCH! AAAAHHHH!"\ |
| 135 | '''8-bit Drummer:''' ''[After perfectly drumming to a section near the end]'' "Why do I know that?" |
| 136 | ** As the cover starts up, notice that Josh looks towards one of the monitors with a magnificent WTF expression on his face. You can also faintly here him say "Jules what did you do?!" |
| 137 | * The "Play A Song in This Way" concert has many gems (and super impressive moments too!) |
| 138 | ** The segment opens with Jack saying "yeah we need modifiers because we know these songs too well now, we're too good." |
| 139 | ** The very first request is to put Emile on vocals. |
| 140 | --->'''Emile:''' Do you want me to hurt you?\ |
| 141 | '''Adri:''' Yes! |
| 142 | ** A raid happens mid-song, with Adri singing with her nose pinched, among other modifiers. |
| 143 | --->'''Jack:''' Uh, welcome raiders to the totally normal concert. No modifiers at all. |
| 144 | ** Someone requests for Adri to make all of the lyrics "derp" |
| 145 | --->'''Adri:''' I'm infringing LetsPlay/MasaeAnela's copyright. She's gonna sue us. |
| 146 | ** "Can we get Jack's epic metal vocals on the Tetris theme?" |
| 147 | --->'''Jack:''' What's the lore of Tetris? What do I even sing about?\ |
| 148 | '''Jules:''' Russia!\ |
| 149 | '''Adri:''' Just sing about anxiety. |
| 150 | ** And then once the song is over- |
| 151 | --->'''Jack:''' That was a new low for me. Uh, donate to charity. |
| 152 | * When introducing the teams in ''VideoGame/MarioParty7'', when they reach Masae and Adriana, who are playing as the two princesses, Emile asks which of them is [[NeverLiveItDown Daisy]]. After a [[{{Beat}} brief moment of silence]], Masae responds "Get away from me." before ''switching places with Adri'' so she isn't sitting next to him, while Adri protests that she doesn't want to be stuck in the middle of them. |
| 153 | -->'''Jon:''' "I'm not gonna lie, I immediately went for the water bottle, I was like, DOWN, BOY! DOWN!" |
| 154 | * At the start of ''Mario Party 7'', Masae is very excited to set a new record in the button-mashing game... before Emile tells her they're playing on a fresh save file, so ''everything'' will be a new record. She doesn't take this well. |
| 155 | * When playing the minigame ''Unhappy Trails''[[note]]A relay race where the players must unlock a chest with a key, then bring the treasure back to the starting line[[/note]], Chugga assumes that he and Toxic won the game after getting the jewel from the chest. Not realizing that they were only at the ''halfway point'', Chugga spends the rest of the game standing still, unwittingly allowing Jon and Jerod to snatch the win. Jon celebrates his imminent victory with a big '''"YOU GUYS ARE SUCKERRRRRRS!!!"''' |
| 156 | * After they hit $50,000, "[[Music/BonJovi Jon Bon Jovi]]" donates and leaves a particular comment that gets half the room to break into song. (8-Player Mario Party 7, 1:24:10) |
| 157 | --->'''Many:''' ''[singing the comment]'' "♫''Whoooaaa, you're halfway the-ere. Whoa-OH, livin' on a prayer!''♫"\ |
| 158 | '''Adriana:''' "♫''Whoa-OH, [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/166/394/d37.jpg lizard on a chair.]]''♫" |
| 159 | ** This joke comes back when "Creator/NicolasCage" donates and comments his own version of the song... |
| 160 | --->'''Jerod:''' ''[reading the comment]'' "♫''Whoooaaa we're halfway the-ere. Whoa-OH...''♫ [[Film/NationalTreasure I'm gonna steal the Declaration of Independence]]." |
| 161 | * "Wow, I'm [[ItMakesSenseInContext STUPID SAD]] [[https://clips.twitch.tv/FurryModernBeanPanicVis over here]]!" [[note]]After reaching the 50k milestone during Mario Party 7, a donation incentive was set for the 55k milestone for Jules to feel happy again. Fast forward a bit, a donation comes in making Jon decide if he'd rather be blindfolded for the next game or take a group hug. Jon, who was sitting between Jerod and Jules, loopholes this by saying a hug with just two people is a group hug and proceeds to hug Jerod. Cue the mic drop by Jules[[/note]] |
| 162 | ** At the very end of the first night, they manage to hit $55,000. Cue Jules' mopey frown slowly turning into a huge, almost childlike smile. |
| 163 | --->'''[=FamilyJules=]:''' "Yo, shit's rad." |
| 164 | ** Stupid Sad becomes a RunningGag for the rest of the colosseum. |
| 165 | * During ''VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuAndEevee'' Bingo, Masae shares a story: while she was playing ''Heart Gold'', she found a Shiny Rattata in the Safari Zone, which ran away immediately. Chugga then responds that when he played Heart Gold, [[BornLucky he found a Shiny Rattata on his birthday]]. Masae... doesn't take this well. |
| 166 | ** Team Dona'tor decide to complete the Mewtwo bingo square by getting to the bottom of Cerulean Cave. After a while of good progress, Jules decides they don't need to refresh their Repel to keep moving. A Golduck then [[FiveSecondForeshadowing near-instantly]] spawns on top of them. |
| 167 | * One viewer donates under the name "[[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Mr. Krabs]]", so [=FamilyJules=] decides to read the comment in his voice. |
| 168 | -->'''[=FamilyJules=]:''' ''[as Mr. Krabs]'' "Hello landlubbers, I took a little money out of me fry cook's paycheck to donate to the cause tonight." |
| 169 | * Jon's collection of Create a Soul characters in ''VideoGame/SoulCaliburVI'' has to be seen to be believed. To name a few, he has a very buff [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]] as Talim, Creator/DannyDevito as Voldo, [[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing Isabelle]] as ''Astaroth'' and Steve the Red Pikmin as '''Nightmare'''. It is ridiculous as it sounds and it is glorious. And you can thank Jewker for making that zany cast of characters. |
| 170 | ** Adri's delight over hearing that Isabelle's in the game turns to dismayed horror [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK2EMrHqvOY upon beholding her in all her glory]]. Tom promptly starts hamming it up: |
| 171 | --->'''Tom:''' ''[as Buff Isabelle]'' "I only got an hour of sleep last night, Mayor. ''MAAAAYYYYOOOORRRR!'' '''MAAAAYYYYOOOORRRR!''' ''We have public work projects, Mayor!''" |
| 172 | ** Every participant got to have Jewker make (a buff version of) themselves as well as at least one extra character. Josh couldn't decide between Ganondorf and an Inkling, so Jewker made a combined 'Ganinkling' (who has to fight Tyler's Nicki Minaj). Meanwhile, Stephen got Mr Rogers and Mal got Ace Ventura... |
| 173 | --->'''Stephen:''' ''[as Ace, as he gets beat up by Masae's character]'' "ALRIGHT! THAT'S IT! NOBODY! MESSES! WITH THE 'DO!" |
| 174 | ** Later, viewers can suggest matchups via donation. One of the first suggested matchups? VideoGame/{{Pepsiman}} vs... Pepsiman. They choose the ''VideoGame/NierAutomata'' stage and interpret is as "a post-apocalyptic future where only Pepsi has survived". And they play a remix of the Pepsiman theme over the fight. |
| 175 | * "Ocarina of Time Musical Chairs" sees Tyler playing a randomised hack of ''Ocarina of Time'' (so he can end up in any new area when he passes through a door transition) but with no sound, so the whole band have to quickly start playing the soundtrack themselves to keep up. Tyler repeatedly ends up in the Gerudo Desert area, which involves Adri doing an a capella rendition of part of the theme which the chat thinks sounds like she is saying "I buttered it up, up, I buttered it up, up" - cue fanart of her with a butter knife. |
| 176 | * The ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' Moon Race has a few notable gems. |
| 177 | ** Adri starts playing after only just getting back from a bathroom break, and has never played the game before. She immediately gets an oven mitt. Then she realizes that [[LoopholeAbuse the oven mitt condition doesn't specify which hand the mitt has to be on, and they're using single Joy-Cons, which only require one hand. So she puts the mitt on the hand she isn't playing with.]] |
| 178 | --->'''Adri:''' "I'm not a cheater, I'm just clever!" |
| 179 | ** Out of nowhere, LORD DONA'TOR crashes the party and, [[HereWeGoAgain once again]], holds the Lamp hostage until they reach $100,000. Everyone's melodramatic reactions are the icing on the cake. |
| 180 | ** Tim Skywalker steps in to say a few words about Direct Relief, and the guys decide to sing ''[[Film/ThePhantomMenace Duel of the Fates]]'' upon his entrance; he has to remind them that he wasn't even in that film. |
| 181 | --->'''Tim:''' "Feel free to donate to Direct Relief, because they are an honorable organization. They helped me rebuild my home on Tatooine, they were even nice enough to [[BlackComedy dispose of the corpses of my late Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen]]." |
| 182 | ** About halfway through the race, Tom decides to build a little fort of pillows in the corner of the room; it gets progressively bigger as the segment continues. The others eventually start messing with him by tossing oven mitts into his domain, only for him to ''launch them back''. The one thing that finally gets him to leave? A donor giving $10 for Adri to tickle his foot. |
| 183 | --->'''Jerod:''' "I think that's worth a ''hundred'' dollar donation."\ |
| 184 | '''Adriana:''' "That's a hundred, if you want that, if you want interaction with Tom's feet, get the-"\ |
| 185 | ''[Tom quickly '''bursts''' out of his fort]''\ |
| 186 | '''Tom:''' "'''I'M OUT.'''" |
| 187 | * A rivalry develops between Jon and Jerod during the ''Puyo Puyo Tetris'' block, with mitts swapping back and forth. Someone then donates to have Jerod give mitts to a player of his choice, and before the reader can finish the sentence he immediately yells "Jon!" |
| 188 | * Stephen's Tabletop Surprise: four players participate in The Extrordinary Adventures of Baron Munchhausen, a long form improv game where each character must share a story (suggested by donors through a $25 incentive) about their amazing feats. The catch is, the other players can interrupt the story and add an entirely new element to it, forcing the storyteller to weave the suggestion into their tale. |
| 189 | ** Stephen plays Lord Bunion, who defeated 300 offended witches using a fishing rod and a dead chicken, after which he settled down with one of the witches and opened a sandwich store. At the end, Tom asks him what he said that got the witches riled up in the first place. |
| 190 | --->'''Lord Bunion:''' "...Witchy bitchies." |
| 191 | ** Josh plays Bup, who escaped the Tower of London using only a Gutenberg press. Josh had trouble getting a handle on the story. |
| 192 | *** At the tail end of the story, Bup gets emotional as he tells about how he was climbing down the tower on a ladder made of paper, and with the wind blowing he thought for sure he was going to die. [[MoodWhiplash Cue Tyler.]] |
| 193 | --> '''Tyler''': [[VitriolicBestBuds I kind of wish you did.]] |
| 194 | --> ''Everyone laughs. Josh grabs a spray bottle and sprays Tyler.'' |
| 195 | --> '''Josh''': Bad Tyler! Bad! ...anyway, [[AntiClimax I got to the end of the rope and ran for it.]] |
| 196 | ** Tom plays "'''R'''eginald '''I'''ssac '''B'''enjamin '''C'''lark '''A'''lexander '''G'''erald '''E'''dwards" (referred to by many as "'''[[FunWithAcronyms RIBCAGE]]'''"), who once fought a demon tree by singing opera. Just to mess with him, Lord Bunion reminds him that the song he chose to sing was Music/BillyJoel's "We Didn't Start the Fire". We're then treated to Tom and Tyler singing the song opera-style, until Tom forgets the lyrics about halfway through. |
| 197 | ** Earlier in the story, Tom recalls how he and the "fire brigade" attempted to slay the tree using fire, to which Tyler argues, "Fire hadn't even been invented yet!" Tom has absolutely ''no'' idea how to respond to this, so he allows Tyler to spray him this one time. |
| 198 | --->'''Tom/"RIBCAGE"''' ''(visibly flabbergasted)''''':''' "No... there was definitely fire..." |
| 199 | ** Tyler plays Brazzer, who once ate the world's hottest hot sauce in an innuendo-heavy story that has him defeating Lord Voldemort in a Beyblade battle which was a brand deal with the holder of the Beyblade copyright. |
| 200 | --->'''Tom/"RIBCAGE":''' "As I recall, as they were bringing out the hot sauce, one of them tripped and spilled it on you, and you being ''naked'' and all, well, I can't imagine how that would've fared..."\ |
| 201 | '''Tyler/"Brazzer":''' "Yes, so that is why I... no longer have any genitals." |
| 202 | ** Masae plays Bajoo Kazoo, who sets the mood for her story (of crossing the mountain when her wagon broke down, broke her legs, and her dog ran away) perfectly with her first line. |
| 203 | --->'''Masae/"Bajoo Kazoo":''' "I ate my dog!" |
| 204 | *** To up the ante, she didn't just eat her dog. She chased her dog after her legs were torn off. And she didn't have arms at the time. She chased her dog by scooting herself forward with her teeth so fast it became like a cartwheel. |
| 205 | *** After eating the dog and slathering herself with glue, she crawled up the mountain like an inchworm. It took five days. "Good thing that dog was big." |
| 206 | ---->'''Emile/"Dari Foley St. Attoch":''' "Wait, how did you go to the bathroom?"\ |
| 207 | '''Masae/"Bajoo Kazoo":''' "[[UrineTrouble Along the way!]]" |
| 208 | *** She got to the meadow at the top of the mountain, and then she buried herself deep into the earth in a cocoon and [[DidYouDie died.]] Why she's around to tell the tale? She's a zombie. How did she get her arms and legs back? She stole them. |
| 209 | ---->'''Marilland/"West Couch":''' "DAMN." ''[gets sprayed]''\ |
| 210 | '''Masae/"Bajoo Kazoo":''' "Do you wanna see my stitches?"\ |
| 211 | '''Marilland/"West Couch":''' "No."\ |
| 212 | '''Masae/"Bajoo Kazoo":''' "Smart." |
| 213 | ** Emile plays Dari Foley St. Attoch, who threatened the richest man in London with a sandwich. Knowing the worth of a rented pineapple among billionaires, Dari Foley offered to supply one billionaire with pineapple sandwiches in exchange for metal boats. When the story is over... |
| 214 | --->'''Emile:''' "Oh my God it's over." |
| 215 | ** Jack plays Toxo the Faire, who created the world's first mosh pit. He apparently attended a metal concert after picking highly toxic flowers, and thus emitted a dangerously poisonous stench. |
| 216 | --->'''Masae/"Bajoo Kazoo":''' "Somebody once told me that those flowers you rolled in were probably really, really, really toxic. Did you not get that entire crowd just completely, deathly ill? What happened with that?"\ |
| 217 | '''Jack/"Toxo":''' "Well it gets a little- this is a sadder part of the story. Let's just say that [[BlackComedy death metal was invented that night]]." |
| 218 | ** Marriland plays Hi I'm West Couch, from West. And he robbed the no. 5 train with only 5 bullets, 5 men, 5 lawmen on his tail, in 5 minutes. The last of the lawmen was willing to let Hi I'm West Couch get away with it, but West Couch gave him a swirlie, and in those times, toilets were also guillotines. |
| 219 | ** Marriland/West Couch's catchphrase during his round of Baron Munchhausen, which stuck with him for the rest of the Colosseum. "DAMN." |
| 220 | ** Tim's story borrows from a real-life experience he had and expands on it. But the best part comes from him casually saying "he got online" (in the 18th century) and nobody challenges him on it because they're all laughing too hard, so he challenges himself and explains how the internet worked back then. |
| 221 | --->'''Tim:''' We'd carve messages into rocks and bury them before waiting for a response.\ |
| 222 | '''Jules:''' What was your upload speed?\ |
| 223 | '''Tim:''' About four bytes per... month. |
| 224 | * As a FunnyBackgroundEvent during ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossingAmiiboFestival'', Adri and Masae play with their Isabelle and Blathers Amiibos, imitating the game's SpeakingSimlish... which eventually devolves into their Amiibos ''[[https://youtu.be/vhnqYiPmopc?t=1684 screaming at each other]]''. |
| 225 | ** After [=Piklink=] donates a whopping $1500, Chugga comments, "And with that, this segment has officially raised more money than [[TakeThat Nintendo made off of this game]]." |
| 226 | ** Thanks to a donor asking "Who's louder, Emile or Jerod?", the segment ends with a [[https://youtu.be/vhnqYiPmopc?t=3371 loudness contest between Jerod, Emile, Masae, Tom, Tyler, Jack, and Jules]]. It's six glorious minutes of everyone screaming viciously at the screen one by one. [[note]]Tyler wins.[[/note]] |
| 227 | * During Adri's cover of [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Pollyanna]], she takes the opportunity to embarrass Emile [[https://clips.twitch.tv/BeautifulFlaccidPeanutHassaanChop in the best way possible]]. |
| 228 | * Emile's challenge in the Thrown Controller's segment is on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, known as the Daisy Stampede. The rules goes as follows: Emile must survive one minute in the Big Blue stage against 7 Level 9 AI Daisies, all of them being on the same team, and the only item he's allowed to use is the Heart Container. |
| 229 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JT1syxCAYus In the intermission before Adri's performance on day 3]], Masae [[SanitySlippage gets overwhelmed]] by [[HurricaneOfPuns a slew of puns from many sources]], including [[AccidentalPun a couple that]] [[GotMeDoingIt she accidentally makes]]. |
| 230 | -->'''Jerod:''' "Why does a chicken coop only have two doors? Because if it had four doors, it would be a chicken sedan!"\ |
| 231 | '''Emile:''' "What's a pirate's favorite chat client? ''I '''ARRR''' C!''"\ |
| 232 | '''Tim:''' "Did you know that french fries aren't actually fried in France? No, they're fried in ''Greece!''[[note]]"grease"[[/note]]"\ |
| 233 | ''[later]''\ |
| 234 | '''Masae:''' [...] "Holy moly, I will try my best to not kill someone who is currently looking at me directly in the face ''with his hand on my shoulder and I'm gonna '''frickin' murder you.''' What is it, Emile?''"\ |
| 235 | '''Emile:''' "...Do you want a refill of your drink?"\ |
| 236 | '''Masae:''' "''Yes.'' I wasted all of it because ''[[INeedAFreakingDrink I chugged it all]].''"\ |
| 237 | '''Emile:''' "'''''Chugged''' it all?''"\ |
| 238 | '''Masae:''' "''[[BigShutUp SHUT UP!]]'' [[BigNo NO! NO! NO!]]"\ |
| 239 | '''Emile:''' "We're infecting yoooou!" |
| 240 | ** Once Adri's segment starts, one segment has her, according to Jules, "infringe Masae's copyright" by replacing some lyrics with "derps". It's as adorable as it is hilarious. |
| 241 | ** A donation incentive during Adri's block is $250 to add a Rick Roll to the song. One comes in halfway through a melancholy original song about [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Princess Yue]] and [[https://www.twitch.tv/protonjon/clip/BreakablePiliableDuckFreakinStinkin Adri slips into "Never Gonna Give You Up"]] ''seamlessly''. |
| 242 | ** An incentive is eventually met to have ''[[HollywoodToneDeaf Emile]]'' sing "[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate Lifelight]]" with her, with predictable results. [[https://www.twitch.tv/protonjon/clip/InquisitiveBitterCheddarSoonerLater Especially during the final chorus' key-change.]] |
| 243 | *** Bonus points for both a Derp and Rick Roll incentive being dropped at the beginning. |
| 244 | ** Adri's segue into Chugga's duet (which immediately follows her duet with Masae) is pretty golden. |
| 245 | --->'''Adriana:''' "I hope you guys enjoyed that beautiful voice, because now you're about to have... Chuggaaconroy!" |
| 246 | * In the beginning of their Ultimate Werewolf segment, Jules tells everyone that although they were late to it, it was the perfect time for the werewolves to come out. [[MoodWhiplash Cue donation jingle]] [[https://clips.twitch.tv/PunchyPoliteDelicataPeteZarollTie immediately after he finishes that sentence.]] It genuinely [[CatScare scares]] him too. |
| 247 | -->'''Stephen:''' "There's one now!"\ |
| 248 | '''Tom:''' "It's a showtune werewolf!" |
| 249 | ** There are generally a ton a very funny, quotable moments during werewolf, including Stephen yelling about wanting death, Adri's good idea in game one immediately involving killing Stephen, Stephen dodging Tyler spraying him, and Jules trying to keep everyone in line. |
| 250 | --->'''Jules:''' "New rule: when I say order, shut up or you die." |
| 251 | ** Also the sleeping/waking up parts: |
| 252 | --->'''Jules:''' "In a world where sleep is decided by democracy..."\ |
| 253 | '''Jules:''' "Now close your eyes, because you all have narcolepsy apparently."\ |
| 254 | '''Tyler:''' "Now, just, WAKE UP!" |
| 255 | ** Near the start of the second game, after Adri's death, everyone starts trying to decipher the line of thought of the werewolves. |
| 256 | --> '''Jules''': If the werewolf is trying not to be conspicuous (...) ...or it's double reverse psychology... |
| 257 | --> '''Josh''': So we're voting for Jules, right? |
| 258 | --> '''MC''': But consider, ''triple'' reverse psychology. |
| 259 | --> '''Marriland''': Or ''quadruple'' reverse... |
| 260 | --> '''MC''': [[HypocriticalHumor That's insane. Don't even suggest it.]] |
| 261 | --> '''Tom''': Hold on, hold on. Might I suggest... ''[[StatingTheSimpleSolution normal psychology?]]'' |
| 262 | --> ''(Everyone shakes their head and/or echoes "No", "Nahhh", etc)'' |
| 263 | --> '''Jon''': [[DisproportionateRetribution Tom's the werewolf!]] |
| 264 | * As revenge for him taking part in the HurricaneOfPuns from earlier, Masae declares that the final donation incentive for Day 3 is to have her give Emile a PieInTheFace. [[https://www.twitch.tv/protonjon/clip/TsundereSourKathyBudBlast (Well, pie tin full of shaving cream, but same difference)]]. |
| 265 | ** Emile's final words before getting a face full of cream? "Subscribe to WebVideo/PieGuyRulz!" |
| 266 | * After reaching $100,000, an incentive forces LORD DONA'TOR to return the Lamp once and for all. However, he still refuses to give it up, so who swoops in for the rescue? '''Tim Skywalker'', who effortlessly takes down DONA'TOR in a CurbStompBattle. |
| 267 | * Falcon Roulette returns on Day 4! This time, Jon has a ninth Falcon to pick from and the veteran Falcons are different. |
| 268 | ** Sgt. Falco (Chance to get double Final Smash, hyper charged attacks) |
| 269 | ** Falcon Zero (An actual StoneWall) |
| 270 | ** ƒ[=@=]/©°ñ, a.k.a. "Wingdings" (Has three "Punch UP" ability) |
| 271 | ** Glass Doug (An even bigger GlassCannon that starts with 60% damage) |
| 272 | ** Douglas (Fast Final Smash meter and better shield damage) |
| 273 | ** Birdman (Improved aerial combat) |
| 274 | ** El Capitan (JackOfAllStats) |
| 275 | ** The Dud (The JokeCharacter amiibo that's lightweight and has AI learning ''off'') |
| 276 | ** A blank amiibo (The player plays instead!) |
| 277 | * ''Wheel of Fortune'' makes a comeback[[note]]Only this time, it's a hacked "gamer's edition"[[/note]], along with Chugga's infamously bad guesses. The ''very first guess'' that he makes? '''ANAL BUNNYZ'''. Adriana picked a bad time to wear her adorable bunny hat... |
| 278 | -->'''Stephen:''' "I think that's a Japanese import." |
| 279 | ** Chugga's next guess when he's forced to solve again (the category this time being "fictional character")? ''THICC GIRL.'' |
| 280 | --->'''Stephen:''' "Oh that's right, Thicc Girl is a character in Anal Bunnyz, I forgot." [everyone loses it] |
| 281 | ** And Chugga continues to dig himself deeper. |
| 282 | --->'''Emile:''' "[[BestialityIsDepraved I'm sorry, Pippi.]]"\ |
| 283 | '''Masae:''' "OH MY GOD! Why am I here?!" |
| 284 | * Thanks to an incentive, ''LORD DONA'TOR'' [[GoKartingWithBowser gets to play]] Thrown Controllers, and if he's the champion, he gets the Lamp back. In a bizarre turn of events, he [[TeamRocketWins actually ends up winning,]] and with a score of '''nine''' no less! |
| 285 | ** There's also DONA'TOR's intro, where he reveals that he's actually a ''huge fan'' of Thrown Controllers. |
| 286 | --->'''LORD DONA'TOR:''' "'''FOOOOOOOLS!''' Oh my god I'm such a huge fan, you have no idea! I have binged ''all of them'' on the TRG channel. OH MY GOD I can't believe I'm playing!"\ |
| 287 | '''Jon:''' "Alright, tell me about yourself, Mr. DONA'TOR."\ |
| 288 | '''LORD DONA'TOR:''' "Well, I was conceived one year ago when Tom Fawkes put on a bathrobe."\ |
| 289 | '''Jon:''' "Well I believe that's how a lot of things happen around here..." |
| 290 | * For the final donation incentive of the marathon, the entire group sang [[VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey "Jump up, Super Star!"]]. Naturally, the entire thing quickly fell into pure chaos. This was apparently the first time that Stephen had read the lyrics, and he finds them so cheesy that he spends the rest of the song freaking out about them (his reactions were enough to [[{{Corpsing}}completely break Jon and Mal]]). |
| 291 | -->'''Everyone:''' "''I'm flipping the Switch, get ready for this...''"\ |
| 292 | '''Stephen:''' "THAT'S THE GAME CONSOLE! IN THE LYRICS! THIS IS AN AD! WE'RE SINGING AN AD!" |
| 293 | ** And then the Hiker Dance song immediately plays afterwards. |
| 294 | * In a [[TheStinger mid-credits scene]], LORD DONA'TOR giddily hops into bed with his newly-won Lamp, snuggling it like a teddy bear before clicking the light off. |
| 295 | * One of the new segments was called A-Z Alphabet gaming, which basically had two games each for every letter in the Alphabet. One of the games? ''Orb-3D''. Naturally, Jon was still very salty about having to complete the game on his stream. |
| 296 | * Behold, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieUI0Ij8R5s Tim and Tom's Kermit-style cover of "Africa" by]] Music/{{Toto}}. It proves to be so ridiculous for Tom that he eventually collapses to the floor in bewilderment. |
| 297 | -->'''Tim:''' "''[[Music/MichaelJackson Tommy, are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay, Tommy? Tommy, are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay, Tommy?]]''" |
| 298 | * During the indie crawler segment, Jerod is interrupted by a $250 donation from ''his wife'' (causing a DisapprovingLook at the camera), telling him he doesn't need the crutch of a good gun. Right before he has to fight a boss. |
| 299 | [[/folder]] |
| 300 | |
| 301 | [[folder:The Runaway Guys Colosseum Direct]] |
| 302 | * Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that was outbreaking during early-2020, Colosseum this year was cancelled in the traditional sense to keep everyone safe. However, in lieu of many Video Game Developers setting up streams for announcements they were going to share in live events that are now canned, the Guys [[FollowTheLeader decided to do something similar]] by having the event go on as a digital event; The Runaways Guys Colosseum Direct! In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKGZUzNrucY Announcement]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0ymLeYwd2Y Videos]] for it, Emile says immediately after announcing it that "[[TakeThat Nintendo wouldn't give you a Direct, so we decided to instead]]", referencing the infamously growing gap from general WebVideo/NintendoDirect releases. And then Nintendo announced a Direct right afterward![[note]]While there had been Directs focused on central topics, like ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' and ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossingNewHorizons'', the last general Direct at the time of the announcement video (March 21st, 2020) was in September 4th, 2019, with the next general Direct being released on March 26th, 2020. With a gap of six months, this was the longest wait between general Directs.[[/note]] |
| 303 | * The event opens with a parody of the ''[[Series/TheBradyBunch Brady Bunch]]'' intro, featuring every person involved in the stream this year. Hilariously, even LORD DONA'TOR and the Lamp get their own little squares. |
| 304 | * Jon starts the entire event with a speech about how things are a bit different... Which he has to repeat due to his mic being muted. |
| 305 | * Doubling as CMOA, due to the nature of the event, the segment hosts are made to get... creative with their [[RunningGag hiker dances.]] The musicians usually belong in the awesome category... the rest tend to fall into this, such as... |
| 306 | ** For the $10K dance, Jon, being the only one with a webcam during the ''VideoGame/MarioKart8'' block, has to do the dance. And he does it with a giant [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Michelangelo]] action figure. |
| 307 | --->'''Jon:''' Cheating! |
| 308 | ** Stephen and Josh's $80K dance, which gets turned into an ''[[Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway Irish Drinking Song]]'' |
| 309 | ** All four of Jon's hiker dances during Chaos Fortune Cookie, involving various props. |
| 310 | ** Masae's [[https://clips.twitch.tv/TallPlumpCrowHumbleLife derpified version of the Hiker Dance]] for the $180k milestone, complete with Chibi Reese, Masae, and Emile! |
| 311 | * Just like Colosseum 2019, there's a set of bumpers during the intermissions where HilarityEnsues. [[https://youtu.be/SUHiuEgTLE8 Here's the full compilation.]] |
| 312 | ** Marriland would really like the world to know that he does, in fact, give a damn. |

| 314 | ** Tom's bumper before the VideoGame/RingFitAdventure segment involves him learning the Colosseum is going digital and suffering from a bit of [[SanitySlippage Sanity Slippage]], using [[CompanionCube amiibos to act out the rest of the crew]] and [[BrokeTheRatingScale raising infinite money.]] |
| 315 | ** Before LetsPlay/{{Donnabellez}} starts her segment called "''VideoGame/{{Nintendogs}}'' IRL" featuring her dog Ridley, a skit has her playing ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' going after Korok seeds. Her [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Makar]] plush brings the hunt to the real world, hiding in her freezer, in a rock, and up a tree, to her dismay. |
| 316 | ** Before the VideoGame/{{Stepmania}} block hosted by Jerod, Chugga attempts to hula hoop. Keyword being ''attempt.'' |
| 317 | ** Just in time for the Korok Race in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', Donnabellz finds her Makar plush in even more places such as the oven, her ''Breath of the Wild'' art book, her laptop, in her bed, and even in the bathroom! |
| 318 | ** Jules figures out how to program his doorbell[[note]]in reference to the fact that his most popular video, with almost ten million views, is him programming the doorbell to play "Megalovania"[[/note]] and shows the viewers what he has right now. It's a SelfDestructMechanism that blows up ''his own house''. |
| 319 | ---> RIP Doorbell Man 1991-2020 |
| 320 | ** A mini documentary shows a frustrated Jules dealing with his obnoxious party animal roommate, Jack. During his interview, Jules casually pours himself a bowl of Cheez-Its and tops it with milk and ketchup. |
| 321 | ** Carlos discusses Emile's "potential" to become a great musician. To prove that he has what it takes, Carlos takes past clips of him talking about ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'' and ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'' and ''remixes them into the Hiker theme!'' |
| 322 | ** Jon's... ''unique'' [[OneManBand answer]] to how they're gonna be able to do the concerts with everyone stuck at home. It gets better when Jerod calls to inform him that all the musicians are able to stream with their home setups. |
| 323 | ---> '''Jerod:''' I mean, what else were you gonna do, were you gonna play all the instruments by yourself, that would've been silly!\ |
| 324 | '''Jon:''' Yeah, that... that would've been a really dumb idea... ''(awkwardly laughs)'' |
| 325 | ** Jerod, notable for being one of the least-vulgar members of the group, makes a tutorial on staying family-friendly. He does well, but after he finishes... |
| 326 | ---> '''Jerod (talking to someone off-camera):''' Are we done recording? Aw thank [[CurseCutShort fu-*beep*]] |
| 327 | ** As a followup to his bit from last year, Jon gives a few tips on what not to do when going game shopping: |
| 328 | *** Don't make a mess (pictured as Jon disorganizing one of his game shelves) |
| 329 | ----> '''Jon:''' ...or worse, lets their kid do something awful like ''actually poop in the store on the floor. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Yes, this is a thing that's happened.]]'' |
| 330 | *** Don't overdo it (Jon pulls one game out of one of his display cases, then sets it aside and just takes the whole thing instead) |
| 331 | *** Don't be an ass (Jon hands a single $5 bill to the shop owner- who is just Jon wearing a wool cap with an attached fake wool beard, making him resemble Roland- in exchange for said case of games. The owner gets mad at this, and Jon responds by just ''stealing the case'', with the owner pulling out a [[Toys/NERFBrand NERF gun]] to pursue him) |
| 332 | ----> '''Jon (as police sirens start blaring in the background):''' Hopefully you won't get arrested like I'm about to so [[MotorMouth I'vegottagoI'lltalktoyouguyslaterokay?]] (flees into his basement) |
| 333 | ** [[CallBack Just like last year]], Adri once again parodies the Disney Channel wand bumper... but first has to be reminded about it by Jules as she's too busy playing ''Animal Crossing''. |
| 334 | ** Similarly, one scene just shows Emile and Masae silently playing ''Animal Crossing'' on a couch surrounded by plushies, completely unaware that they were supposed to film a bumper in the first place. |
| 335 | ** MC and Kampy, with one year's time until the next Colosseum, plan... ''"good"'' donation incentives. One in particular stands out: |
| 336 | ---> '''MC:''' For $35, Jon will carry Emile into the woods and leave him there for 24 hours. |
| 337 | ** [=FamilyJules=] playing "[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Roundabout]]" on guitar, before [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext his roommate bursts into the room wearing a horse mask]] and the screen fades to the memetic "To Be Continued..." |
| 338 | ** TRG both reminds the crowd what they're here for and prove they're not above being [[MemeticMutation memesters]] with [[https://www.twitch.tv/protonjon/clip/AwkwardExcitedCrowRalpherZ this bumper]]... featuring a special guest! |
| 339 | ---> [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrli1kM6slUw4G1FV2Xp5vQ VoiceoverPete]]: Attention, all TRG gamers. Direct Relief is working to defeat a global disaster. Now, in order to do this, he's gonna need medical supplies ''and'' a lot of people to go to Mario.Gives. To help, all he needs is your credit card number, the expiration month and year, and of course, the three digits on the back, but you've gotta be fast! Before the ''zombie apocalypse comes!'' So let's go! (chuckles, walks off) |
| 340 | ** Tim Skywalker is hungry and attempts to heat a can of soup with his lightsaber. Cue steam explosion and a KubrickStare into the camera. |
| 341 | * When Jon gets blindfolded during the ''VideoGame/MarioKart8'' tournament, Tom points out that if you stay still for too long, you get disconnected. [[TemptingFate Sure enough]], Jon gets a Communication Error message almost immediately. What really sells it is a $1000 donation came in at the same time, meaning [[MundaneMadeAwesome Jon resetting the game is accompanied by the Super Mario Galaxy Grand Star fanfare.]] |
| 342 | ** Jon finds out the hard way that his Switch is set to turn itself off when he turns off his TV. |
| 343 | --->'''Lucah:''' Alright Jon, you've been donated to blindfold.\ |
| 344 | '''Jon:''' Alright, TV off. I also have to set my Streamdeck, what am I doing?\ |
| 345 | '''Lucah:''' [[WhamLine Oh and you also have no signal on your stream.]] |
| 346 | ** Emile is having a hard time steering, and wonders if he had Smart Steering turned on, or if it's Joy-Con drift. A race later, he finally realizes what the problem was: he had motion controls on. Unfortunately, [[OhCrap he notices this right after someone donated to have him play with his controller upside-down.]] |
| 347 | * During the ''Pokémon'' tournament, Sab Irene, who is reading donations, interrupts the event to ask her roommate Carlos how much chicken he wants to order for dinner. |
| 348 | * Jon spends the entirety of the ''[[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield Pokémon]]'' tournament block reiterating that he knows pretty much nothing about ''Pokémon'', and remarks on how terrible it would be if he somehow won the tournament against more experienced players. Which naturally means that, help from Carlos notwithstanding, [[SpringtimeForHitler Jon wins the entire thing]]. |
| 349 | -->'''Jon (after winning):''' You all should be ashamed. |
| 350 | ** Even Emile, who directly lost to Jon despite being the favorite to win, [[ActuallyPrettyFunny found the entire incident hilarious]], which works in his favor when Jon decides not to rub it in his face despite fiercely claiming he'd do so if he beat Emile. |
| 351 | ** Another gem comes from Tyler as he [[OhCrap realizes he's looking loss right in the eye]]. |
| 352 | --->'''Tyler (as he's down to just one paralyzed Torkoal):''' Send me a Dynamax[[note]]the ability to Dynamax was locked behind a donation incentive[[/note]]! ''Please!'' |
| 353 | *** Even funnier is that Tyler was in another call to discuss strategies discreetly, meaning he ''left and joined the main call just to beg for a chance!'' |
| 354 | ** After the event, Carlos & Marilland do a Metronome battle with Ludicolo, with Carlos having ones named after Emile (Ludiconroy) & Tim ([=LudiCapriSun=]) and Marilland having ones named after Jon (Luditon Jon) and Lord Dona'tor ([=LudiDona'tor=]). After a short while, Luditon Jon ends up using Explosion, which immediately costs Marilland the battle when it not only takes itself out, [[EpicFail but also [=LudiDona'tor=]- all without managing to even take out either [=Ludiconroy=] or [=LudiCapriSun=]]]. Jon quips that that's how he ''should'' have done in the tournament, while Emile jokes that Jon [[HeroicSacrifice gave his life]] to take out [[ClassicVillain Lord Dona'tor]], and that it wasn't in vain. |
| 355 | * Sab and Carlos playing through ''[[VideoGame/WarioWare [=WarioWare=]: Smooth Moves]]'' for one of their segments. This was apparently the first time that Carlos has seen, nay, ''experienced'', the "Wario Dance Company" boss game. |
| 356 | -->'''Carlos''' ''(speechless)''''':''' [[FlatWhat ...What?]]\ |
| 357 | '''Sab:''' Just let it happen. |
| 358 | * [[StatusQuoisGod The reason Lord Dona'tor doesn't have the lamp this year?]] [[SomethingWeForgot He accidentally left it in Myrtle Beach.]] |
| 359 | * Lord Dona'tor attempts a takeover of Jon's channel to become a popular figure on the internet (his logic of taking Jon's channel being that the pre-existing follower count will give him a headstart) and brings in Jon to taunt him, during which he accidentally reveals key info about his location (namely, he has a roommate named Louie and lives above a pizza place called Lord Donattio's). Meanwhile, he continually insists that the lamps are not his children despite everyone else thinking so. |
| 360 | ** Dona'tor mentions not wanting to go up against Jon head-to-head, and during his reasoning makes a CallBack to the Ludicolo Metronome battle. |
| 361 | ** Most of Lord Dona'tor's section with Jon in general, which Jon calls him and orders a pizza with garlic knots, only to hear that he had the wrong number. Even after Dona'tor insists he's not the pizza place, Jon persists anyway. |
| 362 | ** Several comments about Dona'tor's lamps get taken out of context, with a particular gem being the implication that Dona'tor adopts them only to throw them onto the streets, which is taken up to eleven when Emile noticing a price tag ''leads to him accusing Dona'tor of lamp trafficking.'' |
| 363 | ** And who manages to retake the channel from him? '''''EMILE,''''' of all people, by utterly ''[[BeyondTheImpossible breaking]]'' [[BeyondTheImpossible Lord Dona'tor]]. He starts off by asking inane questions to the point of causing Lord Dona'tor to have a crisis, but as Dona'tor reaches his limits with Emile and the chat assumes [[CallBack Tim Skywalker will have to save the day]], Emile convinces Lord Dona'tor that he ultimately doesn't want to take Jon's channel when he reveals to Dona'tor the worst part of the internet: people taking everything he says and running wild with it, something made apparent by the frequent questions about Dona'tor's lamps. |
| 364 | *** Made even funnier considering that, again, this is ''[[NeverLiveItDown EMI]][[AccidentalInnuendo LE]]'' saying this. |
| 365 | ----> '''Emile:''' "Did you not know that's what it means to be an internet personality? To always have all these narratives forced upon you based on little things that you've said that people take out of context and carry for years?" |
| 366 | ** Lord Dona'tor also started his takeover with an acrostic poem to remind the chat how to spell his name. There is a line in it dedicated to the apostrophe. |
| 367 | * Tyler starts the ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' segment by singing part of the intro to ''Series/ICarly''... only for Donna to point out that they're live. |
| 368 | * During the Hyrule-themed Dungeons & Dragons segment, our three heroes spend over an '''''hour''''' trying to open the Door of Time, finding no solution. At the same time, they constantly talk to Gossip Stones, who only tell them the time and day (ex: 10:48 PST on 4/17/2020) and to wash their hands, much to their chagrin, as they had [[TemptingFate hoped the stones would offer them useful info]]... Except they ''did,'' as it is later revealed that the solution to their predicament was to literally wash their hands in one of the nearby shallow pools of water that [[ItMakesSenseInContext Corey somersaulted into earlier]]. Jules points out that the Gossip Stones were literally telling them what to do, and [[FailedASpotCheck they didn't figure it out]]. In the meantime, stream chat practically ''explodes'' in relief when they finally do figure it out. |
| 369 | ** And when they finally get through the door? They get [[CurbstompBattle completely]] [[TotalPartyKill wiped out]] by the enemies waiting for them. |
| 370 | ** Corey's first solution to any problem is to seduce someone. [[ExtremeOmnisexual Be they human or animal.]] Bear in mind, Corey is playing as ''Banjo''. |
| 371 | * Day 2 starts off with Masae and Chugga playing Mario Party (with Daisy and Waluigi on hard). |
| 372 | ** Thanks to the donation incentives, they are almost constantly spraying each other with water. |
| 373 | ** More than once, Emile and/or Masae won a minigame while playing blindfolded somehow. |
| 374 | *** They enter two such minigames ''in practice mode'', and don't realize it until they take their blindfolds off. |
| 375 | ** When Waluigi lands on a Chance Time that gives last place Emile's non-existant stars to Daisy, all Emile has to say about it is that he's "making [him] look bad in front of [his] girl"... and the chat goes wild with the implications, given that Daisy was the would-be recipient and Masae was right next to him. |
| 376 | ** After several turns of [[YankTheDogsChain Emile being screwed over in every way]], he finally gets the chance to [[GodzillaThreshold attempt to work Chance Time in his favor]]. [[HopeSpot He manages to get Masae to give up her star]]... [[YankTheDogsChain only to lose it to Daisy one turn later]] (though he ''does'' get another one through Magic Lamp [[ThrowTheDogABone that he gets to keep]]). |
| 377 | --->'''Emile:''' DAISY NO! WE CAN WORK THIS OUT! YOU DON'T HAVE TO COLLECT ALIMONY!! |
| 378 | ** Masae [[RageQuit leaves her chair for several minutes]] the moment she loses that star. |
| 379 | ** Chugga casually reveals that [[NoodleIncident he and Masae once spent 3 hours messing around with Picture Imperfect to see all the faces they could make]]. |
| 380 | ** The sheer fact that after all the crap he goes through, Emile manages to somehow place not last[[note]]he places third with 2 stars in the end, just above Masae, who has 0 stars[[/note]]. |
| 381 | ** Emile somehow breaks his spray bottle trying to spray Masae... then resorts to just splashing the water on Masae. |
| 382 | ** During the duel board, Emile and Masae end up having to play Fowl Play (catch a chicken running around a farm) blindfolded and with oven mitts. It goes about as well as you'd expect. |
| 383 | ** During Masae's turn, Chugga attempts to play the losing horn sound from ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' on the Otamatone. Before he even gets to finish, Masae gets a Star from a Hidden Block. |
| 384 | --->'''Emile:''' ''You were supposed to '''suck''' when I played that!'' |
| 385 | * During the Day 2 concert with Jules, Jack, and Adri, Jules promises to perform in his Spider-Man costume if they hit 100k. After they finally pass the milestone, he puts it on to reveal that it's ''much'' tighter than it should be (so much so that his SpikyHair is left protruding from the top). |
| 386 | * Combined with SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: During Jon's Chaos Fortune Cookie stream, Jon unveils a ''very'' special incentive: at $131,962, he'll play ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'' with ''Emile as a co-commentator''. Cue donors dropping '''$1000 donations''' every five minutes (including Tom, [[https://www.twitch.tv/protonjon/clip/FlaccidObservantPuppyYouDontSay who yells]] [[RunningGagged "JON, I WANT]] ''[[VideoGame/HaloReach HALO REACH!]]''") Twenty five minutes into the stream, they reach the goal with flying colors. |
| 387 | ** Shortly after this, Jerod, the donation reader, reveals that he got FiveSecondForeshadowing for this via a DM from Tom. |
| 388 | --->'''Tom:''' [DM] You don't read my donation. ''I'' read my donation. |
| 389 | ** Jon introducing a new intermission wall made specifically for the event, one that consists of hilarious [=GIF=]s depicting his fellow Colosseum friends. These include Jerod flapping his tongue, Tom freaking out in front of the [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Blood Moon]], Stephen gently pushing Kepler out of frame, and Masae spanking Emile with an oar. |
| 390 | ** Despite several fan-favourite games being options, the first winner is "Fortune Cookie: Random Game". What gets picked? A GBA ''WesternAnimation/SpiritStallionOfTheCimarron'' LicensedGame. The ''horrendous'' music (ironic, [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic considering the film it's based on]]), Arial font on the tile screen and only music and sound effects volume in the options [[ThisIsGonnaSuck pretty much set the mood.]] |
| 391 | ** Crossed with Awesome, during ''Kirby's Dream Course'' with Stephen, Jon recognises a later hole and says "You can hole-in-one this one if you're ''really'' good. It's one hell of a shot to make though." [[TemptingFate Guess what Stephen ends up doing.]] |
| 392 | ** The "game" that Jon plays for $3000? "Game Boy Player (Disc Only)": ''initially'' thirty whole minutes of a blank Game Boy Player screen and ''nothing else''. Ironically, not only does the viewership ''raise'' during the segment, the stream actually makes it to '''the front page of Twitch!''' |
| 393 | *** Jerod, unaware of what was actually going on. |
| 394 | ---->'''Jerod:''' "Real talk, I thought there was a secret Gameboy game-"\ |
| 395 | '''Jon:''' "No! No!"\ |
| 396 | '''Jerod:''' "So, this is like the biggest jebait I've ever experienced." |
| 397 | *** Even better, a reached donation incentive is for the next ten games in the list to be played and Game Boy Player (Disc Only) manages to get into it. |
| 398 | ** The reason this happened? Stephen tried the same thing for an Extra Life marathon a few years back. And it ''set his computer on fire''. 32 minutes in, someone misnames the game as "Game Boy Player: No Disc" in a donation. |
| 399 | --->'''Jon:''' To be fair, I could take the disc out right now and it won't do anything.\ |
| 400 | '''Jerod:''' Don't test it, Jon.\ |
| 401 | '''Stephen:''' [[BrickJoke There's still time for a fire.]] |
| 402 | ** There's an incentive at $150,000 to extend the stream a second time. It's postulated that someone is waiting for it to come down to the wire for someone to make a massive donation and reach the incentive. Jon says it would probably be Emile, but he's probably asleep already. A few minutes later, Jon receives a message from Emile just reading, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch "Bitch."]] |
| 403 | ** At the end, Emile proudly points out that people donated $20,000 in 15 minutes just so he could rip ''Sticker Star'' [[PrecisionFStrike "a new asshole"]]. |
| 404 | --->'''Jon:''' "That's how you know it's late, even Emile is swearing at this point."\ |
| 405 | '''Adriana:''' "Wait I didn't swear! Okay here I go... ''bitch''." ''(everyone laughs)''\ |
| 406 | '''Jon:''' "Alright that's too scandalous, we're gonna get the stream taken down. We're out, night everybody."\ |
| 407 | '''Masae:''' "That was actually the cutest thing I've ever heard."\ |
| 408 | '''Emile:''' [[ThatCameOutWrong "That's the cutest bitch I've ever heard!"]]\ |
| 409 | '''Adriana:''' '''''"WHOA!"''''' |
| 410 | ** Towards the end of the stream, Tom muses "I wonder if I could trigger Second Puberty." Masae and Adriana have no context for this (Tom's mic occasionally dips several octaves, a phenomenon he termed "Second Puberty") and break down. They admit it's even funnier with no context. |
| 411 | * During the ''Tetris 99'' segment, Lucah reads a pun-filled donation comment and Jon can be heard ''retching'' by the end of it. |
| 412 | * During the ''Pokémon'' Art segment, Reese and Masae are tasked with drawing Politoed. Emile says that when looking on his phone to search Politoed, the autocorrect changed it to ''politics.'' When a discussion breaks out over if Politoed [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs would be a good politician]], Emile comments that [[TakeThat he's slimy enough]]. |
| 413 | * Masae and Reese's takes on [[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield Arcozolt]][[note]]A bird-dino hybrid fossil that parodies the mix-matching fossils found in early dinosaur paleontology.[[/note]] are...''very different''. Masae's looks even more cartoonish than the actual thing, while Reese's is a chocobo-fish monster that wouldn't be out of place in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasy''...if it weren't for the silly noodle arms that were doodled in last-minute. |
| 414 | * For the $180k milestone, Emile and Jon are tasked with drawing a [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Bidoof]]. Emile, though he has trouble navigating the online tools, ultimately comes up with a [[HiddenDepths surprisingly cute Bidoof]], though there are a few inaccuracies. Jon, on the other hand, doesn't even bother trying to draw a Bidoof, instead creating a pretty good, albeit yellow [[Franchise/{{Digimon}} Agumon]]. |
| 415 | * During the TRG Makes Music segment, Jules is made to edit together clips of the entire crew playing different instruments to make Megalovania. |
| 416 | ** MC's submission arrives in the middle of the segment and is just a voice clip of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt1YFCXDHjQ Reggie Fils-Amie saying "Link is hot."]] |
| 417 | ** Jon's submission is of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Macbane yelling "MENDOZA!"]] |
| 418 | ** Emile submits his "Nya" cry of pain, as well as his [[CallBack "I don't know the freaking words" parody of Moskau]] and a long clip of him doing an a capella rendition of Megalovania. |
| 419 | ** Tom submits the [[https://twitter.com/TomFawkes/status/976604455985664000 Quagsire scream.]] |
| 420 | ** Lucahjin submits the makeup song from the America's Next Top Model game. |
| 421 | ** Jules winds up using Josh's reaction to Banjo-Kazooie being in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. |
| 422 | * The final product of the TRG-created Megalovania in general. Dear ''God,'' the final product. Some people in chat even begin comparing it to a shitpost. Jules continuously looks like he's [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone reconsidering his life choices]] as the song gets even more chaotic. |
| 423 | * For his drum concert, Jerod plays the newly-composed "TRG-vania" for one of his final songs. When it's over, he gives a happy little thumbs-up, which somehow syncs ''perfectly'' with the "Ding!" sound at the end of the song. {{Corpsing}} ensues. |
| 424 | ** Right before that, he asked how much was raised during his blindfold playing of Through the Fire and Flames. [[AnswerCut Cue the SSBU remix of Megalovania.]] |
| 425 | --->'''Jerod:''' [[FanNickname MEGAAAAAAAAAN!]] |
| 426 | ** And from his gaming segment, he realizes someone subscribed to his channel when he hears [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy his normal sub alert]] while he's playing ''[[Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun only my railgun]]'' on Beatmania. He lightly lectures them on not giving to charity instead. |
| 427 | * For the ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossingNewHorizons'' segment, the group starts at Adri's island. Adri has a plot of land reserved for turnips surrounded by a moat and guarded by turtles. She suggests that the grave between the turtles is a warning for thieves. Cue Masae and the rest snatching up the turnips, and Masae snacking on the turnips she looted. |
| 428 | ** One viewer asks guest player [[Creator/RoosterTeeth Lindsay Jones]] if they can get the cast of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' to read fan fiction in-character. While the others react uncomfortably, Lindsay says they're all for it, since [[CallBack they've read worse things as Ruby like]] ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svUKZ1oyMRw Fifty Shades of Grey]]''. |
| 429 | * During the ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryTropicalFreeze'' race, at one point Can accidentally pulls off one of Tyler's headphones, causing him to let out an [[NoIndoorVoice extremely loud scream]]. He then admits he drank a lot of energy drinks before the segment and "might be a little crazy". |
| 430 | * For the final segment of the event (a ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' race), Jules promises that if they hit $222,222, he will... '''''*ahem*'''''... "eat his own ass". At first it sounds like he's just goofing around like usual, but once they actually reach the incentive, '''hoo boy''', does Jon get a surprise when he checks his message inbox. Proving he's a man of his word, Jules sends a picture of himself bending in a way where is face is ''surprisingly'' close to his buttocks. And yes, Jon does show it on stream. |
| 431 | ** Everyone's reactions upon seeing the picture are absolutely priceless as well, with Jules then passionately and proudly proclaiming that he "ate his own ass for charity!" |
| 432 | * During the ending video chat featuring most of the event's participants, Emile shares a very touching and heartfelt story about how Masae pushed for Colosseum to happen. Then he concludes by telling everyone that he has ''no'' idea how to turn his camera on (thankfully, he's able to show up onscreen through ''Masae's'' webcam). |
| 433 | [[/folder]] |
| 434 | |
| 435 | [[folder:The Runaway Guys Colosseum 2021]] |
| 436 | * This year's Colosseum opens with the long-awaited reveal of Jon's [=RosaJon=] costume, which he has to wear for most of the weekend as promised in his last charity stream. Both the viewers and the TRG gang can agree, he looks absolutely '''fabulous'''. Emile's reaction at the top of the first game is only the icing on the cake. |
| 437 | -->'''Emile:''' '''''[[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarepants Oh no, he's HOT!]]''''' |
| 438 | * The bumpers return with as much humor as the year before. |
| 439 | ** [=MotionDan=] goes to see Roland about grabbing games he found on a list online, which includes such titles as [[VideoGame/LEGOAdaptationGame "LEGO Titanic"]] and [[Franchise/SesameStreet "Elmo's Pub Crawl"]], the latter of which Roland finds in a pile of games that were traded into his store. His reaction? |
| 440 | --->'''Roland:''' ''*shrugs*'' [[CallBack Money.]] |
| 441 | ** Tim Skywalker orders breakfast from a [=McDonalds=] drive-through and [[TheComicallySerious plays it completely straight]] until an AsideGlance at the end with, "Well, that was a thing." |
| 442 | ** Jon goes over his life with Lucah now that she's transformed into a [[VirtualYouTuber VTuber]]. In short: not that different from how the two of them were before, which was already pretty silly and chaotic. |
| 443 | ** One bumper has Proton Jon getting ready for his [=RosaJon=] cosplay, with the tools left for him by Lucahjin. He finds a magic drill and...comes out as a viking when he realized he put it at the wrong setting. |
| 444 | ** Chugga was pressed for time to make a bumper, so he copies off of the bumpers from the years before, to Masae's annoyance. After copying Tom's amiibo skit from last year, Chugga decides to irk Masae even further. |
| 445 | --->'''Masae:''' That's Tom's.\ |
| 446 | '''Chugga:''' ''(grabbing the Daisy amiibo)'' But I was gonna introduce you first! |
| 447 | *** Another scrapped bumper idea, ripping off Jules' ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' "star door" bit from 2019: |
| 448 | ---> '''Chugga:''' Oh dear, it needs two stars! I only have one!\ |
| 449 | '''Masae:''' Emile!\ |
| 450 | '''Chugga:''' It's like in the video game! Isn't that zany?\ |
| 451 | '''Masae:''' ''(overlapping)'' Emile! No! Stop!\ |
| 452 | '''Chugga:''' ''(gesticulating wildly)'' I for one find it ''[[TotallyRadical QUITE POGGERS---]]''\ |
| 453 | ''(clip gets cut off)'' |
| 454 | ** Members of Jon's art Discord discuss exactly HOW Jon transforms into Rosa, ranging from a Anime/SailorMoon sequence, a Sentai-style sequence, and even just Rosa being a HumongousMecha. When the group decides to just ask Jon, he just says all he's doing is just putting a dress on. After Jon disconnects, however... |
| 455 | --->'''[=RosaJon=]:''' ''(in the background, sitting on Jon's couch)'' What was that about?\ |
| 456 | '''Jon:''' Oh, just more people asking how the hell I'm gonna put on your costume.\ |
| 457 | '''[=RosaJon=]:''' You ''still'' haven't told them we're all real and that ''I'm'' streaming instead?\ |
| 458 | '''Jon:''' No, I don't think at this point anyone would believe me.\ |
| 459 | '''[=RosaJon=]:''' Eh, okay. Wanna play ''Mario Kart''? |
| 460 | ** Tom discusses his new Shar Pei puppy/sea cow, Manatee, and how energetic he is. He notices that he seems very interested in his vacuum cleaner, and tries to use it to get Manatee to release all his energy so he can get some work done. Unfortunately for Tom, even after ''33 hours'', Manatee's still very much active. |
| 461 | --->'''Tom:''' Okay, so that didn't quite work out as well as I thought... but I mean my house is... my house has never been cleaner! ''*falls asleep*'' |
| 462 | ** Chugga and Masae's cooking show demonstrates how to make Chugga Cookies. Without looking at an actual cookie recipe. The "recipe" ended up making the final product look like a mushy puddle of batter and chocolate chips than actual cookies. |
| 463 | --->'''Masae:''' CHUGGA COOKIES ★ Make some at home! ★\ |
| 464 | '''Chugga:''' [[DontTryThisAtHome please don't]] |
| 465 | ** It seems the TRG crew needs some new musicians, so Carlos holds some musical auditions, featuring the Smash Bros. cast (actually just Carlos dressing up as them). A few highlights include: |
| 466 | *** Mario plays the accordion, which he does well on... but as Carlos notes, [[MemeticMutation Mario's supposed to be dead]]. |
| 467 | *** DK plays the bongos well, but can't read sheet music. |
| 468 | *** Sonic goes fast on the drums... so fast, in fact, that he drops his drumsticks and resorts to just using his hands. |
| 469 | *** The Ice Climbers end up getting rejected as they literally are unable to play anything other than the sleigh bells. |
| 470 | *** The Wii Fit Trainer attempts to guide the viewers through a relaxation exercise as he plays the flute...only to fall over after playing a single note. |
| 471 | *** Mr. Game & Watch (represented by his Smash 4 render instead of Carlos in a "costume") plays some dubstep on his laptop. |
| 472 | *** The final audition is the lamp, which effortlessly plays a bit of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata even though it doesn't even have an instrument, much less anything to use an instrument with. |
| 473 | ** Jerod's bumper has him discovering a "TRG" setting, which is all of the members of TRG's screams from over the years. He plays a drum solo with it, ending with a "Move Faster Pokey", at which Jerod backs away slowly. |
| 474 | ** When Jon introduced [=RosaJon=] at the start of the event, it was on the pretense of her taking over due to him having an emergency he had to take care of. A bumper on Day 3 reveals that Jon's "emergency"... was ''VideoGame/{{Picross}}''; he's actually been hanging around the whole time playing it. When Jon tries to bum his Day 3 hosting responsibilities on Rosa, she convinces him otherwise by magically conjuring a [[Toys/NERFBrand NERF gun]] and firing it at him. |
| 475 | --->'''[=RosaJon=]:''' I swear we like each other.\ |
| 476 | '''Jon:''' WE'RE THE SAME PERSON! |
| 477 | ** As a donation incentive from the Twitch Makes Music segment, Jack gives Jules a {{Swirlie}}. ...No seriously, that's the skit. Just Jules getting his face dunked in a flushing toilet by Jack. |
| 478 | ** Jules does a yoga demonstration... which, given that it involves a lot of flexibility, of course [[CallBack ends with him once again eating his ass for charity]]. Even funnier? At this time, the stream had again hit the front page. So when people hopped onto Twitch, Jules bending his torso in such a way that it looked like he was eating his own ass was FRONT AND CENTER. |
| 479 | * Jack opens up the concert on the first day by listing off the donation incentives for it. When he got to the $100 incentive, performing a guitar shred... the stream broke. Cue jokes in chat about him shredding the stream or that [[CallBack they shouldn't have opened the pit]]. And this after technical difficulties plagued the end of the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' block, too! |
| 480 | * The ''Paint Time with Mal and Stephen'' segment had some memorable moments. |
| 481 | ** Mal (who is wearing a '''blindfold''' as a result of a donation incentive) manages to put a painting sponge right ''into'' Stephen's can of Coke, which Stephen points out without missing a beat. A later donation request results in the can in question becoming a paintbrush. |
| 482 | ** As they do not have the Hiker Dance music available, Stephen is forced to improvise. Hilarity ensues. |
| 483 | ** The painting begins as a replica of one of the streets in [[VideoGame/Earthbound1994 Onett]]. However, due to the donations blindfolding Stephen, things take a darker turn when he ends up painting blood splatters in the streets, trees on fire and Sprite raining from the sky. The outlandish gruesomeness of it all causes Stephen to joke that the painting depicts the timeline [[TheBadGuyWins where Gigyas won.]] |
| 484 | * The ''Mario Party 3'' segment features a new custom board, but the shenanigans remain: |
| 485 | ** Jon is still cosplaying as [=RosaJon=], so when he's asked to set himself to AI control, he grabs the plush Bagel Luma. Chugga remarks that he thought Jon will touch something else. Jon responds with [[FlippingTheBird the bird]]. |
| 486 | ** Chugga obtains a Lucky Lamp, which was referred to as an "Anti-Lamp" due to its effects. He ends up [[https://clips.twitch.tv/MildGorgeousHamsterBuddhaBar-eMyrb07RaHbDAqTB mishearing "Anti-Lamp"]] as "''Hentai'' Lamp". |
| 487 | ** During ''Mario Party'', donation incentives can replace any player with an AI for a turn. When Josh and Tom end up on a team, Josh yells at "Yoshi" (Tom) to do better. |
| 488 | --->'''Tom:''' I'M TRYING, IT'S NOT AN AI, IT'S ME!! |
| 489 | *** Josh admits afterwards he already knew, and just wanted to yell at him. |
| 490 | ** Emile's infamous luck works even when an AI is playing for him, landing on the 7 in "Game Guy's Lucky 7" and giving him over 600 coins. He then ends up in Game Guy again, doubling his count to [[{{Cap}} 999]]. |
| 491 | *** The best part? The first time, he didn't land on a Game Guy space. Jon used a rare item that allowed him to force a player to play a Game Guy Mini-Game, and he chose Chugga. Meaning that [[HoistByHisOwnPetard he had to watch as his attempt to bankrupt him backfired in one of the worst ways possible.]] |
| 492 | *** Sitting at 999 coins, Emile freaks out when he winds up landing on a Bowser space...only to be rewarded with a Bowser Suit Giveaway as if Bowser is providing Emile with a gift for hoarding all the coins. Cue the other players wanting to just quit the game right then and there. |
| 493 | --->'''Josh:''' Alright. Whe-where's the button to quit?\ |
| 494 | '''Jon:''' Hahahaha! I'm feeling that a little bit too right now. I'm not gunna lie. I'm very salty! |
| 495 | *** Further hilarity ensues the following turn when it's shown that various events weren't designed to manage the coin count being maxed on. One set of spaces essentially triggers Bowser Revolution (in which everyone's coins are equalized). Emile's coin count can't tick to 0 before the animation ends, despite the "returned" money being based on his starting count, resulting in him retaining his 999 coins while everyone else goes up by close to 50, all to player and chat cries of [[CallBack "Infinite Money"]]! |
| 496 | * During Dungeons and Dragons, Jules discusses his history of making [[AnimateInanimateObject his doors say "ow" when they're stabbed, or sometimes "I love you".]] When someone in the chat asks if the doors say "I love you" when you put a key in them, Jules responds "it depends on ''how'' you put the key in." |
| 497 | ** When the group encounters a Triforce symbol on the floor and Masae, as Link, fails to affect it using his Ocarina, Masae has Link [[ThatCameOutWrong rub himself on the floor.]] Tom, as Minecraft Steve, backs away slowly. |
| 498 | * The Wheel Of Fortune segement with Masae and Chugga is chock full of these: |
| 499 | ** Every $100 donation results in Masae or Chugga getting sprayed. Viewers decide to chime in by requesting spray wars between Masae and Chugga. |
| 500 | ** One of the answers that Chugga put in, was "FATASS MOM", and Masae decides to get revenge by putting in "Rearing Dad". In [[https://twitter.com/TheRunawayGuys/status/1391128861006467073 the post]] capturing the moment, the TRG Twitter recognized as well the significance of Day 3 falling on the second Sunday in May. |
| 501 | ** A question category was person, what was one of the answers that Masae guessed when forced to solve? "Freakihnemil" because of all of the jokes, and ThatCameOutWrong moments that Emile made throughout the segment. |
| 502 | * For his concert, Carlos had an incentive ambiguously named "Carlos G". What was it? Carlos putting on a long, blonde wig and sunglasses to more closely resemble jazz musician Kenny G... even though Kenny G isn't blonde. The inevitable [=RosaJon=] comparisons also started appearing in chat not long after "Carlos G" appeared. |
| 503 | * Unlike Colosseum Direct, LORD DONA'TOR didn't need to take over the stream- rather, he got his own "PBS Hour with Dona'tor Talk Radio" segment where he calls up the various Colo Crew members and chats with them, akin to his calls to Jon, Emile, and Tim the year prior. As usual, hilarity ensues. |
| 504 | ** Astute viewers might note that Dona'tor doesn't have his lamps. They were reposessed due to frivolous donations, though Jon's still not convinced that the lamps weren't Dona'tor's kids. |
| 505 | * During the ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' segment, a '''TWO THOUSAND DOLLAR DONATION''' comes in, requesting that everyone except for Jules and Masae mutes their mics during the next crew meeting... except Masae's ''dead'', meaning that Jules is the only one that gets to talk. He uses his time wisely by reading the Website/{{Wikipedia}} page for the UsefulNotes/RMSTitanic before promptly getting voted off. Jules was a crewmate, for the record. |
| 506 | ** Speaking of Among Us and Masae, her increasing aggravation over the chat's {{Pun}}s is worth a giggle. |
| 507 | * During the ''Pokémon Showdown'' Gym Challenge segment, Chugga explains his AlternateCharacterInterpretation of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'': Jerk rivals aren't dead, ''[[VillainProtagonist you]]'' are the jerk rival. |
| 508 | ** When Jules gets a round, he introduces himself as the Electric-Type Gym Leader in the most over-the-top and innuendo-laden way possible. |
| 509 | --->'''Jules:''' I am the Electric Leader! You can tell by my hair, which looks as if I have forcibly inserted my penis into an outlet! |
| 510 | ** The names Jules names his Pokémon range from "P1kachu" (Jolteon) to "[[Franchise/YuGiOh Blue Eyes White Dragon]]" (Zapdos) to "[[MemeticMutation 1 Billion Lions]]" (Luxray). |
| 511 | ** What follows is Chugga completely [[CurbStompBattle sweeping his entire team with his Krookodile]] as Jules simply [[LargeHam hams it up]] with his team of Pokémon with increasingly silly nicknames. |
| 512 | ** A donation incentive locks Chugga into using his first move slot. Just as Jules seems to finally be getting a break... |
| 513 | --->'''Chugga:''' [[PreMortemOneLiner Here's Move 1 for ya.]]\ |
| 514 | ''(cue Earthquake, which proceeds to one-shot Jules's Yamper)''\ |
| 515 | '''Jules:''' Honestly, who ''really'' lost that fight? I think it was Emile, because he just did that to a poor defenseless doggy!\ |
| 516 | '''Chugga:''' I'm more of a cat person. |
| 517 | * Chaos Fortune Cookie returned! With [=RosaJon=] as the host and Stephen, Tom, Jerod, and Dan returning as co-hosts, "Chaos" was as apt a description as ever. |
| 518 | ** A RunningGag throughout the segment is Dan's inability to control his [[ExtremeLibido libido]] (jokingly, of course). This gag gets even funnier after Jules promises to... ''(ahem)''... ''[[{{Squick}} hot sauce bukkake himself]]''[[note]]euphemized by Jon as "Hot Sauce Buttercake"[[/note]] if the donation total reaches $300K, to the obvious disgust of chat and the hosts. |
| 519 | --->'''Jon:''' What did Jules say?\ |
| 520 | '''Tom:''' I don't know.\ |
| 521 | '''Jon:''' The whole chat's saying "Jules, no"; what the fuck happened?\ |
| 522 | '''Jerod:''' I had to mute my mic because I was laughin' so hard!\ |
| 523 | '''Tom:''' "Jules, no", "Jules, no"... Here we go. Okay, I cannot read that out on stream!\ |
| 524 | ''(Jerod cracks up)''\ |
| 525 | '''Jon:''' ''(throws his controller down)'' Okay, come on, now... What happened?\ |
| 526 | '''Tom:''' I'll copy and paste it into the, uh--\ |
| 527 | '''Jon:''' NEVER MIND! Never mind, yup, you're right! Okay, cool! |
| 528 | ** Later, a donation milestone promising to release Jules from "horny jail" and join the hosts is created. When Jules is (inevitably) released and Dan continues to be horny on main, Jules is, understandably, upset as to why Dan hasn't been arrested for his continuing horny crimes. |
| 529 | ** The first instance of the above RunningGag occurs during the opening ''Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit'' segment, after [=RosaJon=] moves the camera on the kart close to her boobs, giving Luigi a... very good view. Then there's Dan's comment, made shortly thereafter: |
| 530 | --->'''Dan:''' Is it weird that I kinda wanna motorboat, or is that...?\ |
| 531 | '''[=RosaJon=]:''' ''(cracks up)'' DAN, DAN! DOWN, BOY! DOWN! |
| 532 | ** LARGE donation amounts flood in upon the segment starting, leading to [=RosaJon=] having to perform ''five straight hiker dances''. This being a Jon segment, Rosa's definition of "hiker dance" is loose at best, with the third hiker dance just being her attempting to interact with Bagel (Jon's cat) using the kart. |
| 533 | ** ''Game Boy Player'': Disc Only is the first "game" on the docket, so the group just brings out the layout for their podcast. ...Oh yeah, the group turned the Disc Only segment into a podcast a couple months after Colosseum Direct. [[Podcast/DiscOnlyPodcast Here's the work page!]] |
| 534 | * Art Segment with the girls |
| 535 | ** While Lucah and Masae have the advantage of using a tablet and pen, Adriana and Sab weren't so lucky with their tools. Adri is on MS Paint using a mouse, while Sab was stuck with a '''trackpad.''' |
| 536 | ** Adri was tasked to draw Jules eating his own ass from last year. Her reaction when she found out the task was funny on its own, but what sells it is later on in the segment, where they revealed that the selection process was entirely random. Adri's task was just one of many funny TRG moments in the pool, where four were pulled and assigned to each artist, meaning Adri's assignment was a product of fate. |
| 537 | ** Lucah was stuck with a giant brush for a good chunk of time due to the donation incentives; she ended up covering her original drawing entirely and writing desparing messages until someone finally let her have a smaller brush. |
| 538 | ** How does Lucah do a hiker dance for this segment? By putting Emile's face on top her [[VirtualYouTuber VTuber]] and had it dance the best it could, jiggling breasts and all. |
| 539 | ** More than once an artist ended up with a brush size so small you couldn't even see it. |
| 540 | * WebVideo/The8BitDrummer's segment on day 3: |
| 541 | ** For his segment, Jerod had no incentives lined up aside from totals. Jules remedies that by adding an incentive where he reads the donation message using a baby voice. Even Jerod loses it. |
| 542 | ** Jules sneaks in the RMS Titanic wiki page into the incentive box, and it spills over. MC had something to say about this (again, using incentive text): |
| 543 | --->''Jules I care about you''\ |
| 544 | ''but what is this'' |
| 545 | ** After the Titanic-related text is removed, Jules then places text reading “hi im a cymbol :)” over Jerod’s hi-hat. Jerod responds by sticking a pair of large googly eyes onto it. |
| 546 | ** Between the two, a "Yahaha! You found me!" gets snuck in as well. |
| 547 | ** Jerod breaks out the dictionary at one point and reads off the definition of "charity" in a very posh manner. Jules responds by yelling out various words that "rhyme" with charity, resulting in a short word battle between the two. Jerod wins. |
| 548 | *** The MoodDissonance set by Jerod's choice of Baroque music helped to sell the whole skit. |
| 549 | * In Tom's Custom Smash segment, we get two instances of TemptingFate in a row. While playing Moon Drop Summit, where the entire stage except one platform falls away every few seconds, Tom eventually mentions that a quirk with the stage causes the fallaway part to not return sometimes. Sure enough, that immediately happens. Dan then states that Chugga (Inkling) probably has this, as Inkling has great recovery. Chugga immediately self-destructs with his Up B. |
| 550 | ** Chugga attacks Rosalina as Inkling and yells "I'm squirtin' ya, Rosa!", causing Jon and the others to wonder if the whole "Chugga's lost innocence" thing was [[CovertPervert a cover all along]] . |
| 551 | * TRG Makes Music returns as ''Twitch'' Makes Music, with donors able to force Jules to add both instruments and memes to the track on top of whatever was submitted, with the track this time around being [[MemeticMutation Baka Mitai]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iZLtbKyV6g&ab_channel=1PressL2P here]]) from the ''VideoGame/LikeADragon'' series. Compared to [=TRGlovania=], the final product starts off more stable before devolving into ''insanity'' upon reaching the final part of the song. Here's some highlights from both TRG and friends' submissions and chat's additions: |
| 552 | ** Donna provided an intro: |
| 553 | --->'''Donna:''' [=RosaJon=]. [[RunningGag Are your boobs ready?]] If not, you'd better strap 'em on! Viewers, get your boobs as ready as ever for Twitch Makes Music! |
| 554 | ** Sab provided two vocal tracks: a serious, full recording of the Japanese lyrics... and also her singing part of the song in ''Italian''. |
| 555 | ** Stephen, having never really been exposed to the song before, sings the song as best he can. |
| 556 | --->'''Stephen''': Na no ni, na no ni DOUCHEY-te...[[labelnote:Explanation]]Doushite[[/labelnote]] |
| 557 | ** Tim, being Tim, sings a verse of [[ToiletHumor toilet-themed]] parody lyrics. |
| 558 | ** Tyler sung some completely-unrelated rap lyrics, leading to Jules struggling to find where to fit him in. |
| 559 | ** Chugga [[SitcomArchNemesis provides a bit of him yelling]] [[VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar "STICKER STAAAAAAAR!"]] |
| 560 | ** Lucah provides the...''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F5azNTnaOI unique]]'' cover of [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} ASGORE]] from one of her Twitch alerts. |
| 561 | ** Josh provides an impression of Kazooie, which while already a bit silly on its own, is ''absolutely hilarious'' when incorporated into the final product. |
| 562 | ** Jon provides four small clips: three are him saying "baka", "baka mitai", and "that's right, da me da ne" in a [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Big the Cat]]-esque voice, and the final clip is just him hitting his desk as if it were an instrument. Jules opts to, fittingly, place the spoken bits at the beginning as a kind of "response" to Donna's intro. |
| 563 | ** Tom- er, LORD DONA'TOR submits him singing lyrics requesting that he gets the lamp. |
| 564 | ** As a part of chat's additions, Jules had to sing a part of Ocean Man and somehow fit it into the song. He winds up YELLING it. |
| 565 | * On ''VideoGame/GolfWithYourFriends'', Jon's username ends up getting [[ScunthorpeProblem caught by the game's profanity filter]], his name being the only one asterisked out into P***n Jon[[labelnote:Explanation]]"Roto" is considered a classist slur in Chile.[[/labelnote]]. Not even minutes after he explains why, he gets called ''Porn Jon''. |
| 566 | ** In general, there's a lot of humor during the segment from the MoodDissonance between Sab reading out heartfelt donation messages as the players yell and cuss out the game. |
| 567 | * During the [[VideoGame/TheJackboxPartyPack Jackbox]] segment, the group plays ''Talking Points''. Just the mere concept is hilarious on its own, but Jack's talk, about talking to your parents about donating to Direct Relief, takes the cake due to the hilariously fitting photo slides. And yes, this talk convinces a few people to ''actually donate''. |
| 568 | * The Family Feud segment: |
| 569 | ** Jules is hilariously offended by the fact that the chat didn't pick Hyrule Castle, or any Zelda locations, among the top seven answers for "Which Smash stage would you like to visit on vacation?" |
| 570 | *** Jon, meanwhile, says he knows how Chat thinks, and picks the clearly inappropriate but meme-y answer of 'Final Destination', [[BatmanGambit and gets points]] (8 of them for the number 5 answer). |
| 571 | *** When it was revealed that the #7 answer on the list was [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2 Cloud Sea of Alrest]], Jules reacts appropriately. |
| 572 | ----> '''Jules:''' Chat, have you heard of a game called '''ZELDA?!?!''' |
| 573 | ** As people can donate to swap people between teams, at one point they end up with an all-male and all-female team, prompting Jules to chant "BOYS VERSUS GIRLS!"...before blowing it on a question about new Mario sports games the chat would want. [[ShaggyDogStory And then more donations swap the teams back again so the boys end up with all the points the girls earned anyway]]. |
| 574 | ** Jules and Tyler are selected to play Fast Money round. Jules is asked to name a Psychic-type Pokémon and messes up, picking Gengar (who's [=Ghost/Poison=]). Tyler then comes to play second round and repeats all but one of Jules' guesses... ''[[StrangeMindsThinkAlike including naming Gengar]]''. |
| 575 | *** During the farewell segment, Chugga notes that this isn't the first time that [[Website/TheSpeedGamers he's attended a charity stream where someone gets Gengar's type wrong]]. |
| 576 | ** As a donation incentive, Chugga (with Jon) plays a special Fast Money round made just for him. When asked which Smash character Luigi would most like to date, Jon (who went first) picks the obvious choice, Daisy. Not only is she the number one answer, but the amount of points that answer was worth? [[LOL69 SIXTY-NINE]]. And this wasn't a joke amount either, Carlos (the host for the segment) ''genuinely surveyed members of the chat, and that's just how the results came out''. |
| 577 | *** AND it's unknown whether canon or [[NeverLiveItDown Chugga's Lost Innocence]] influenced the results. |
| 578 | *** The number one answer for another question in that Fast Money round (namely "name a Paper Mario game") hints that Chugga's Lost Innocence may have influenced the Luigi's date question's results. The number one answer in question? '''''Sticker Star!''''' |
| 579 | * During the final segment (''[[VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' race), the 400k incentive is for Jules to dress up as a catboy. When the incentive is reached and he does put the catsuit on, it's discovered that the catsuit is very, very tight. So much so that Adriana is forced to alternate between standing in front of Jules or covering his chest and groin with her hands or other body parts for the entire duration of him appearing on camera. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Twitch TOS does not allow visible "bulge" (as Jon puts it)to be displayed by streamers.[[/labelnote]] |
| 580 | [[/folder]] |
| 581 | |
| 582 | [[folder:The Runaway Guys Colosseum 2022]] |
| 583 | * Bumpers are back again! And with a few members of the gang able to interact and play off each other in-person, too! |
| 584 | ** In an adaptation of a dream Stephen [[https://clips.twitch.tv/EagerCheerfulMarrowHotPokket described on the Disc Only podcast]], Stephen has Tom record an episode of Morning Mario for him... except when Stephen recieves Tom's episode, it's not a video of him playing ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'', but him ''on the top of a snowy incline giving snowboarding tips''. |
| 585 | ---> '''Tom:''' [suddenly behind Stephen] So, what d'ya think?\ |
| 586 | '''Stephen:''' Uh... Tom! Yeah, it... it was- it was good, it's just you know, um... I did ask you to do Morning Mario, and I couldn't help but notice that you did a... a snowboarding video...\ |
| 587 | '''Tom:''' I took a few liberties. ''I took a few liberties!''\ |
| 588 | '''Stephen:''' [stammers] You did great, ''it's just...''\ |
| 589 | '''Tom:''' I TOOK A FEW LIBERTIES! [walks off] '''[[MadnessMantra I TOOK A FEW LIBERTIES! I TOOK A FEW LIBERTIES!]]'''\ |
| 590 | '''Stephen:''' ...You know what, we'll post it, it's fine. |
| 591 | *** Another funny bit from this bumper: Tom falling ''up'' the stairs to answer Stephen's phone call. |
| 592 | ** Not one, but ''two'' of the bumpers from day 1 are inspired by the Chugga Cookies bumper from 2021: in the first, Tyler, inspired by video game randomizers, makes cookies with randomized ingredients (which goes about as well as you'd expect), and the other has Jon try to demonstrate how to ''properly'' bake cookies... only, in true [[BornUnlucky Jon Luck]] fashion, for him to somehow set his house on fire. |
| 593 | ---> '''Jon:''' Huh. Figured the egg would've started the fire, not the milk. Oh well. These cookies came out good. [Takes a bite] ...Needs more egg. |
| 594 | *** Jon later revealed that he kinda screwed himself over with that bumper: those cookies actually ''were'' freshly baked and the frigid temperatures during the outdoor segment caused them to freeze solid. |
| 595 | ** Tim and Tim Skywalker, somehow in the same room, argue with each other. |
| 596 | *** A later bumper has a similar setup with Tom and Lord Dona'tor, only for Tom to cut the scene short because Tim and Tim already did this bit, and they did it better, and Lord Dona'tor is a figment of Tom's imagination. |
| 597 | ----> '''Lord Dona'tor:''' I'm [[BigWhat WHA--]] ''[[PuffOfLogic (disappears)]]'' |
| 598 | ** After being stuck apart due to the previous two Colosseums being online-only, Lord Dona'tor is finally reunited with the lamp. Doubles as a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming moment]]. |
| 599 | ** A number of Jon's 'Egg Pac' artists collaborated to create an entire montage of animations in the style of ''Rhythm Heaven Fever'', but starring the TRG crew and their running jokes. Doubles as a Moment of Awesome. |
| 600 | ** Stephen and Mal recreate a Sears air conditioning advert from the 90s, with the music reconstructed by Popskyy and the voiceover done by [[TheComicallySerious Alex]]. The punchline is that [[AntiHumour there is no punchline]], other than the unspoken irony that it claims the now-defunct Sears 'will always be there', the delivery is played completely straight. |
| 601 | ** Jack's bumper has him declaring that guitar is done and the new hot instrument is the Otamatone (which he keeps mispronouncing). When Jules complains, he is seen putting ketchup, oil, garlic salt, and protein powder into a mug, then taking a sip. |
| 602 | ** Josh's bumper shows [[OnceMoreWithClarity what really happened after his part of the 2022 Intro]]: he jumped at a plush Mudkip with his plush Poké Ball... and hurt his arm. He wonders how actual Pokémon trainers do it, before bringing out his Switch and playing ''VideoGame/PokemonLegendsArceus''. |
| 603 | ** Jon calls tech support (played by Tom) in regards to how his fridge changes what is placed there. An onion, which was originally a slice of pizza, inexplicably becomes ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'' after being placed there. Jon even temporarily changes to [=RosaJon=], and Tom briefly becomes Lord Dona'tor. Jon also gives a CallBack to his cookie bumper (in which an egg set his house on fire). A light switch turns on the fireplace... in his TV. Tom suggests that to turn off reality and turn it back on to try to fix the glitching. |
| 604 | ** Emile and Tim's bumper involves them doing ''{{Mad Libs|Dialogue}}'', with the winner receiving a stick of [[{{Zonk}} Mystery Flavor Airheads]]. In Tim's first story, the [[Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs third little pig]] is [[BlackComedy burnt and has a house made of hot dogs]], and when the wolf is defeated, all three pigs move to Chicago and go into the [[ImAHumanitarian sausage business]]. In Emile's first story, a bowling alley is built for [[SingleMomStripper single mothers]] in a {{red light district}} where the employees set up the pins while riding bicycles. In Tim's second story, matadors wave their skirts while having to avoid being rammed into by the bull's left testicle. In Emile's second story, the final song played at a classical music concert is [[Music/LudwigVanBeethoven Beethoven]]'s "Fifth Nipple". In the end, they call it a tie, and pull the Airhead apart [[TearApartTugOfWar like a wishbone]]. |
| 605 | ** Jules and Jack do a fake 'guitar gear review' parodying the genre on Youtube, crossing over with the style of a Colin Mochrie and Ryan Styles home shopping network routine on ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' in which their characters clearly know nothing about what they're selling. |
| 606 | ** MC opens ''Pokémon'' card packs and can't pull a single rare. He hands a pack to Chugga, who [[BornLucky of course]] proceeds to pull nothing but [=GXes=] and Secret Rares. [[BeyondTheImpossible Out of a single pack.]] He wakes up... [[OrWasItADream and all the cards Chugga pulled are still on the table.]] |
| 607 | --->'''MC:''' This has to be a misprint.\ |
| 608 | '''Chugga:''' Yeah, I know. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint No Charizards?]] |
| 609 | ** As Jon couldn't attend in person, Stephen and Mal make a 7-foot-high oversized cardboard cutout of him, which Emile promptly treats as a CompanionCube. When Dan tries to point out it's not the real Jon, Mal tells him it's been two years and to let Emile have this. |
| 610 | ** Sab Irene is next in line for cookie baking lessons, with the chat having grown trust issues about the baking sessions after the last baking disaster. Her "cookie" recipe slowly begins to go off-script, revealing that her recipe is actually one for a (rather delicious-looking) ube[[note]]A purple yam, popular in Filipino confections[[/note]] cake. |
| 611 | ** Tim plays the [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld Forest of Illusion]] overworld theme on a keyboard, and discovers a fart key note. It apparently can rip farts hard enough to knock him out. |
| 612 | * One of the segments is literally called "Jon I Want Halo Reach". As you can probably guess, it involves Jon and Tom (plus Dan and Josh) playing ''VideoGame/HaloReach''. |
| 613 | * During the Chaos Fortune Cookie segment, the "Jon and Emile play Sticker Star" incentive is back, but there's a new one: if this segment raises $100,000, Jon will play ''all'' of ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'' on stream, and if he doesn't finish it by next Colosseum, he has to cosplay as someone from the franchise. Emile donates $1000, yelling [[CallBack "Jon I want Xenoblade!"]] That's not the funny part. For one, there were so many donations that it took nearly 30 minutes into the segment for his to be read, so he'd been holding that in ''since the start of the segment''. Second? '''[[HoistByHisOwnPetard The Sticker Star stream notification played right after Emile mentioned his donation.]]''' |
| 614 | ** One of the games in Chaos Fortune Cookie is "Billy the Wizard: Rocket Broomstick Racing", a {{Waggle}}-filled shameless Harry Potter ripoff that must be seen to be believed. This leads to requests for "Bizzard the Wizard" parody titles, each more ridiculous than the last. |
| 615 | ** Jon has a [[ThisIsGonnaSuck palpable reaction]] when the Fortune Cookie Random Game turns out to be ''VideoGame/{{Carmageddon}}''...'s [[PortingDisaster Game Boy Color version.]] |
| 616 | ** Jon talked about filming a bumper as [=RosaJon=] and jumping over the side of his couch, but because of the inertia of this action, he got "smacked in the face by my own tits!" |
| 617 | ** While playing ''Hitman'', it is proposed that TRG get their own Netflix show, which eventually mutates into it being Tim in a version of ''Film/TheTrumanShow''. It's argued that for the concept to work, Tim would have to be 'stuffed into a burlap sack' and released into the world so he doesn't know he's being watched... |
| 618 | --->'''Stephen''' (sarcastically): That was my favourite part of ''The Truman Show'', when Jim Carrey was stuffed into a burlap sack.\ |
| 619 | '''Tom/Jon:''' Jim Carrey was born into - he was ''born'' [[{{Metaphorgotten}} in the burlap sack]]!\ |
| 620 | '''Stephen''' (singing in 'Rambling Man' style): I WAS BOOOORN IN A BURLAP SACK! MY MOTHER WAS MOONSHINE AND MY FATHER WAS A RACCOON! |
| 621 | ** At one point, Jon got spooked by his statue of [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 Michelangelo]], due to it being out of its usual spot after using it in a hiker dance. He also notes being slightly paranoid due to leaving a cardboard cutout of Mr. Burns in his peripheral vision after also using it in another hiker dance. |
| 622 | ** As it's 3-4 am for the group at this point, they begin having some very... out-there discussions, such as: |
| 623 | --->'''Stephen:''' You're in a room. The room is occupied by two occupants, one of which is Cookie Monster, the other of which is Elmo. One of them must die. Who do you kill?\ |
| 624 | '''Jerod:''' Uh...\ |
| 625 | '''Jon:''' What are our options again?\ |
| 626 | '''Tom:''' Your options to kill are Cookie Monster or Elmo.\ |
| 627 | '''Stephen:''' There ''is'' a correct answer. |
| 628 | * ''Family Feud'' with Carlos returns, and a bonus round features Jon and MC doing the Fast Money round. When Jon gives the top answer for a Pokémon question, he pointedly and repeatedly says that at least ''he'' knows something about Pokémon, while Jules (of the 'Psychic-type Gengar' incident from last year) gives him [[FlippingTheBird the finger]] in the background. |
| 629 | * An incentive for the day 2 finale, ''Mario Party Superstars'', was to spray either Emile or Tim. Early on, a donation comes in asking to [[TakeAThirdOption spray Jon.]] As he isn't in the same location as the others, it seems like this won't be possible. Until a few minutes later, Jon yells out of nowhere, because [[LetsPlay/{{Lucahjin}} Reese]] heard the donation and came downstairs to spray him herself. Worth noting that the ''donator themselves'' didn't expect this to happen, and had said to [[IWasJustJoking just spray either of the official targets for their "actual" incentive]]. |
| 630 | ** Another incentive is to wake up Tom to play alongside Emile and Tim. When this is passed, Tom appears but is dead tired and on the verge of passing out, and both Jon and the chat are concerned that he's basically being tortured - so a 'Tom can go back to sleep' incentive is offered, but is too high to be reached that night ($300k). The next day during Custom Smash, Tom (now much better) has to clarify that the wake-him-up incentive was his idea and done with his consent. As he explains, the total finally reaches $300k and the chat joke that Tom can finally go to sleep. |
| 631 | * Once again, Jules is tasked with doing TRG Makes Music, putting together a version of a song out of clips provided by the crew. This time, rather than a video game song, the winner is Stephen and Dan's old memetic song "Pears and Pork", and the result is surprisingly epic. In a later segment, Stephen relates that he was sleeping during the session, then came downstairs to a deserted South Carolina recording house to find himself and Dan on the screen, confusing his half-asleep self. (Dan had a similar experience). |
| 632 | * Art Time with Stephen and Mal returns, this time using ''Mario Kart'' as its subject matter, given that (as Stephen puts it) the recent Nintendo Direct offers 'four hundred and fifty-six new downloadable tracks'. |
| 633 | ** Right as this segment was ending, Stephen announced the next segment was [[WhatsAHenway "Ligma"]]. He then blames Jules [[ScriptSwap messing with the teleprompter]]. |
| 634 | * Jules and Lucah host a multiplayer version of Wordle called 'Squabble'. In order to hide the room code from the viewers, Jules amuses himself by looking up the chemical structure of the xylyl group ("xylyl" being the most unhelpful guess you can make in the game) and then ''creating a tier list of letters in the English language''. |
| 635 | * After featuring in a bumper as Emile's CompanionCube, a cardboard cutout of Jon appears in the background of the South Carolina-based Custom Smash segment, and the viewers donate to have the players' controllers temporarily handed to "Jon". |
| 636 | * The entire ''Super Mario World'' Crowd Control segment is chaotic hilarity, but the real taste of what everyone's in for comes at the start, where LetsPlay/MasaeAnela reveals that not only has she never played a Crowd Control run, '''[[NaiveNewcomer she's never even seen one before]]'''. |
| 637 | ** Dynamics quickly form among the group: Jon's game is constantly glitching (as usual), [[NoIndoorVoice Jerod spends most of the time screaming]], Masae is a CosmicPlaything and Tim [[TheComicallySerious remains calm regardless of the insanity thrown his way.]] Together, they make a perfect comedy quartet. |
| 638 | ** Jerod gets sent so many P-Balloons that "I'm a balloon!" quickly becomes his {{Catchphrase}}. |
| 639 | * As the event is wrapping up, the tech crew reveals there were ''over 900'' donations referencing "Bizzard the Wizard" in their names or comments, and the Bizzard the Wizard meme alone raised over $30000. Doubles as Awesome. |
| 640 | * As if Chaos Fortune Cookie couldn't get more chaotic, Jon also did the Sugar Rush mode that acted as a competition between him and the chat -- for every $500 raised, he would have to roll the cookie again and search his gigantic collection for the game forced on him before another $500 was raised. Sometimes he had to skip at least one game because it got that hectic from the start. |
| 641 | |
| 642 | [[/folder]] |
| 643 | |
| 644 | [[folder:The Runaway Guys Colosseum 2023]] |
| 645 | * Tim's version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kuNSxj8mR4 the announcement video]] features him doing a miniature parody of [[Music/WeirdAlYankovic "Albuquerque"]]. |
| 646 | -->'''Tim:''' That's when someday we swore we would get out of that wretched hive and we were going to get together on the east coast once again!\ |
| 647 | Where the sky is always overcast and the air tastes like warm Nintendo Switch cartridges,\ |
| 648 | and the gamers and the musicians play their otomatones all day long,\ |
| 649 | and anybody on the street would gladly mod your 3DS for a nickel! (It's actually super easy.)\ |
| 650 | Wakka-wakka-doo-doo-yeah! |
| 651 | * Stephen releases Youtube shorts to advertise the event which involve strange challenges like competitive counting to 100 against Josh, or challenging Tyler to press-ups as overseen by Cardboard Jon. |
| 652 | * As per tradition, the bumpers return once again! |
| 653 | ** This time, the intro parodies ''The Addams Family''. |
| 654 | *** It was later revealed that Tim was the one that wrote all the lyrics for it. Not only that, but he also wrote so much that Sab had to ''trim it down''. |
| 655 | ** Choose a Character is an AffectionateParody of fighting game character select screens, with almost everyone performing their own silly {{Idle Animation}}s. Some examples include... |
| 656 | *** Lucahjin wielding the Jon cardboard cutout like a battering ram. |
| 657 | *** Jerod dual wielding Nerf guns, then attempting to holster them in nonexistent gun holsters. |
| 658 | *** Tyler fighting with branches and grass for hands. |
| 659 | *** Sab Irene wielding a Ouija--sorry, Luigi Board. |
| 660 | *** Josh wielding the Zapper, attempts to flip it, but catches it the wrong way and pulls the trigger on himself, ending the bumper with Street Fighter's "YOU LOSE". |
| 661 | ** Emile (who can't attend in person due to falling ill with Covid) realises that [[GiftedlyBad people enjoy things he's bad at]] in past bumpers, so decides to sing. He turns out to be unexpectedly good (actually dubbed by Homyk) but, on listening back to the recording, decides it sounds awful and deletes it. |
| 662 | ** Masae contributes a ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' tea party minigame with her bird Mipha as the character she's trying to recruit. The conversation falls flat at the end once she admonishes Mipha for venturing on the floor. |
| 663 | ** Tyler asks an AI chatbot for help in persuading people to donate to charity, publicising the Runaway Guys Colosseum, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick convincing Jon to finish his Superman 64 Let's Play]]. The chatbot does quite well, until balking at Tyler's request to help him beat up Josh. |
| 664 | *** A later bumper sees Tyler use the same chatbot to help him write a rap celebrating Stephen Georg. |
| 665 | ** Tim, having seen everyone else's Chugga cookie bumpers last year, finally decides to show off his recipe. It's basically dumping Chewy Chips Ahoy on a paper towel. |
| 666 | ** Stephen tries to raise money with his bumper by asking difficult Game Cube questions and encouraging chat to donate a dollar for every one they got wrong. |
| 667 | ** In typical Jules fashion, his bumper is an innuendo-laden advertisement for the deck repairman Kiefer King. And then naturally, Lucah and Tyler are the donation readers afterwards. |
| 668 | *** Bonus points for Emile in the chat asking if the bumper was a COVID fever dream. And ''the Creator/HarryMcEntire'' raiding chat at this exact moment. |
| 669 | *** Oh, and for the record, this was a recreation of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6c4Nupnup0 this parody ad]]. ''Yes, this is actually a pre-existing thing''. |
| 670 | ** CAB (Colosseum Animated Bunch) contributes a two-part montage of TRG-themed TV shows and ads: |
| 671 | *** The first part includes (but isn't limited to) a Franchise/{{Persona}}-esque fantasy anime starring the main trio, Lucah advertising FFXIV's free trial, A ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues''-style show starring Tom and Manatee wherein the former sings about how to [[VideoGame/{{Hitman}} Can-A-Man]], a wildlife program starring Masae, and finally a montage of new entries in the Bizzard the Wizard franchise that quickly turns into analog horror, culminating in an ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion End Of Evangelion]] parody'' that forces the channel to throw up a Waluigi-themed technical difficulties card. |
| 672 | *** And in the second part, we have an ad for a TRG-themed VideoGame/PaperMario knockoff for the Vectrex named "The Runaway Guys: The Curse of the Lamp", the conclusion to Lucah's XIV ad, Mal doing a Bob Ross-style painting show... offscreen while Stephen attempts to paint with a blindfold on,[[labelnote:*]] For a funny behind-the-scenes fact, that section's animator Rhyme got the sounds of Stephen flinging paint onto Josh by slapping herself. The final, biggest paint fling sound came from her slapping her own ass.[[/labelnote]] and finally a Franchise/StarWars knockoff starring Tim Skywalker and Lord Dona'tor, who even has a lamp-saber! |
| 673 | ** In a CallBack to 2019, Jules goes to spray himself with hairspray again, but this time puts on goggles first to avoid a repeat of the EyeScream incident. |
| 674 | ** Masae and Jules' competitive speedrunning spreads into real life and they begin racing each other at mundane activities, much to the others' discomfiture. |
| 675 | ** Jon meets Cardboard Jon while wearing the same clothes, and insists one of them has to change. |
| 676 | ** Josh walks into a room to find all the others T-posing and staring ominously at him, until he joins in. This was a horror short that was suggested by Stephen's fans years ago, but this was the first Colosseum at which it was practical to film. |
| 677 | *** Some people apparently ''missed'' that Jon was standing behind Cardboard Jon for the whole bumper, with Jon revealing that he was snickering the whole time due to all the noises he was hearing. |
| 678 | *** MC knew ''nothing'' about the bumper until he was loading them up for the rotations. |
| 679 | ** The tech crew's bumper has Kampy trying to get everyone to do a shot for the intro, while Jyggy runs around looking for equipment (including a fog machine), Bassoonify nerds out about microphones, Klinkit crawls around on top of the set like a cat, and MC gets exasperated with them all. Chat likened it to a scene from Series/TheOfficeUS. |
| 680 | ---> Klinkit: MY AMBIENCE! |
| 681 | * ''Pokemon Violet and Scarlet'' Bingo is Sab (who speedruns the game) against the much less experienced Tom. Sab promptly defies the competitive spirit by giving Tom advice. Meanwhile, one donation incentive is for them to stop and make a sandwich in-game, but Tom's inventory was left almost entirely just with pickles in it, so he ends up constantly making pickle sandwiches. When he runs out of butter, his quest for more is constantly referenced by chat. |
| 682 | * One event is supposedly ''Pokemon Stadium'' minigames, [[BlatantLies as the players insist]], while actually being Kirby 64. Featuring "Jigglypuff", "Delibird", "Diglett" and "Ash Ketchum". Later, at the start of Chaos Cookie, Jon actually does play Pokemon Stadium and introduces it as Kirby 64. |
| 683 | ** One of the donation goals is to spray someone with water. Masae gets chosen for this a lot, as karma for all the times she's done it to others(/Chugga) over the years. |
| 684 | * During the Final Fantasy 14 segment, a horde of players dressed as Lord Donator follow Lucah and Masae around and try to hinder their progress. |
| 685 | ** Naturally, anyone just going about their business completely unaware of Colosseum likely would've been ''very confused'' by the presence of multiple considerably large groups of red-robed players running around doing goofy things (even long before the segment proper started, at that), as indicated by this [[https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/11hfa95/i_went_to_uldah_for_the_little_ladies_event/ Reddit post]]. |
| 686 | * Adriana was unable to attend in person, so they have her remote voice dubbed over Masae moving the mouth of her Otamatone with a wig resembling Adri's hair... until the concert actually starts, where the "singing" is just ''Masae playing said Otamatone.'' |
| 687 | * The entire concept of the Super Mario 3D World...? segment: $50 to add a player, out of almost everyone in the TRG crew. $100 to eliminate a player. Chaos ensues. |
| 688 | ** Several times, the crew decides to enact Tangled Cords-style rules, of two people, 1 controller. |
| 689 | ** Someone donates to make Stephen join and leave ''four times.'' The group jokes it's to get Stephen's Apple Watch circles full (a RunningGag on WebVideo/StephenVlog). |
| 690 | ** The donators decide to create a "lives" system to bring back players. This catches on quick; at one point Jon ends up with ''minus 45 lives.'' When the total eventually reached -48 lives, Jon and Cardboard Jon had a thing to say: |
| 691 | ---> '''Jon:''' CHAT! You cannot stop us! There are two of us! You cannot stop us! I ''WILL'' be back on that couch! |
| 692 | ---> '''Jack:''' ''(Walks in from off-camera and starts dragging Jon away)'' Sir, sir you gotta get outta here. |
| 693 | ---> '''Jon:''' No! NO! This is my- this is my stream! NO! ''NO!'' |
| 694 | ** Jules and Jirard end up becoming a donation-reading hive mind, reading every donation in sync. |
| 695 | ** Towards the end of the segment, Stephen's sanity is clearly close to unraveling due to the off-the-rails shenanigans going on (at this point, he's sharing a controller with ''the spray bottle'' and listening to the aforementioned donation-reading hivemind). The viewers are treated to a couple close-up shots of his expressions of absolute bafflement. When he gets eliminated, he basically ''runs'' away from the couch. |
| 696 | * One of the donation incentives in Werewolf was to give a player a character/backstory. After the first round of this involves a few from in-jokes (including two Tiny Eddies), a new stretch goal is introduced (and quickly met) where Jules puts all of the Colosseum members names into a hat and the players each need to draw one. What follows can only be described as "TRG Colosseum members roasting each other," and HilarityEnsues. |
| 697 | ** Tyler draws Reese and decides to commit to it by stuffing items up his chest and giving himself FakeBoobs for the entire segment. Reese (who is not participating) can be heard laughing off-screen. |
| 698 | ** Jirard draws Jerod and spends every free moment drumming, using his hands to drum his legs, chairs and whatever else he can find. He also constantly plugs how many times 'he' streams a week in Jerod's style (as Jerod does at the end of episodes of Disc Only), only for an irate Jerod to point out he got the days wrong. |
| 699 | ** Erika draws Jon and gets surprisingly in-character to the point where Jon tells her that she's managed to a) make him do a spit take and b) given him a lot to talk to his therapist about. |
| 700 | ** Jack draws Tom and spends the entire segment making "references" to how different moments that happen are just like that scene in various different TV shows. |
| 701 | ** Masae draws Jirard and emulates his beard using her own hair. This leads to ''this'' amazing exchange: |
| 702 | --->'''Dan (as Masae):''' I think Jirard, I mean, he looks a little weird.\ |
| 703 | '''Masae (as Jirard):''' You saying something about my beard, dude? You saying something about my beard?\ |
| 704 | '''Jirard:''' Hey, you say something about my beard?! |
| 705 | ** After all the players have chosen, they convince Jules & Sab[[note]]who was reading donations[[/note]] to draw out of the hat as well. Sab pulls out Josh and the only way she knows how to imitate him is just to say VideoGame/BanjoKazooie at various points. Jules meanwhile draws Jack and pulls off a stellar imitation of him that leaves the real Jack in stitches. |
| 706 | ** Even the chat gets in on it by deciding that they are going to be Emile and spend the rest of the segment imitating his style, to the point where the real Emile (who was in the chat) was joining in. |
| 707 | ** During a round of Werewolf, Jules winds up standing on top of a ("dead") Dan to talk through the incentives and stretch goals for the segment. The text box with the donation incentives wound up covering Dan, making it look like Jules was doing something...questionable on top of Dan. He decides to troll the camera by squatting over the box for the next round. |
| 708 | * Art Time returns, this time with Stephen and Josh facing off painting different Smash stages, with Mal overseeing it and one of the donations being to switch canvases. |
| 709 | ** The Pokefloats painting keeps falling on both Stephen and Josh. |
| 710 | ** At one point Mal is painting and Stephen is reading donations, and Stephen reads out the start of a comment asking Josh how knowledgeable he is about Chinese medicine, [[RiddleForTheAges then moves on without ever elaborating]]. |
| 711 | ** Stephen tries to rotate his canvas while blindfolded, and ends up picking up and rotating the entire easel. |
| 712 | ** Kraid ends up looking more like a sock puppet (according to the chat) or Trogdor (according to Stephen). To carry on the Homestar Runner theme, Charizard somehow ends up with the head of The Cheat. |
| 713 | * The song for TRG Makes Music this year is hotly contested between "Lonely Rolling Star" from ''Katamari Damacy'' and Stephen's memetic Waffle House anthem "Raisins In My Toast". After ''three'' back-to-back two thousand dollar donations, Jules and crew decide to combine both of them into a mashup. |
| 714 | ** The chat can donate to roll a random choice of meme song to incorporate. Lucah has her usual lack of self-confidence in singing but Jules persuades her to sing the ''Duck Tales'' theme song...and then ''immediately'' afterwards the chat rolls "The Spanish Flea", which Lucah is ''notorious'' for singing during her videos, and she's suddenly eager to sing again. |
| 715 | ** Jon comes in to record his version of Waluigi's victory chant, only for his WalkingTechbane properties to strike and cause Jules' entire computer setup to (temporarily) break. |
| 716 | ** History repeats itself from last year, as a slightly sleepy and befuddled Stephen is brought in at the end to listen to the resulting song, which (as he says) works surprisingly well. The chat compares him to a confused dad trying to understand his kid's art project. |
| 717 | * During the full band concert, Jyggy is brought up to sing "Jump Up Superstar". Mid-song, Stephen (who complained about the song last time the group sang it) [[https://clips.twitch.tv/LuckyDepressedGoblinSuperVinlin-wMU4rBltMqaMpbSD wanders on to the set and stares blankly at the camera for a chorus before leaving.]] His expression says it all. |
| 718 | ** After "Jump Up Superstar", the band plays "Pears and Pork", bringing Stephen and Dan in to sing alongside Sab. Everything is normal at first, but after the cast sings the memetic "big brother is watching", the [[https://clips.twitch.tv/IgnorantProductiveMacaroniTBCheesePull-aw6e9n9t7IGTTOTJ entire band stops playing and stares blankly at the camera]]. ''And that's where the segment cuts!'' |
| 719 | *** Believe it or not, this gets ''even funnier''. The reason the pause was as long as it was, as revealed by Jon and MC on a recap stream the Saturday after the event, was because the two were talking about prep for Disc Only off-camera... and when things suddenly got ''really quiet'', MC realized that he had to rush back to the streaming computer to cut to intermission. |
| 720 | * [[Podcast/DiscOnlyPodcast Disc Only]] goes in-person for the first time, and now with donation incentives to add to the show's usual chaos! They include allowing Dan to say a word, [[RunningGag running the show's intro again]] in increasingly chaotic fashion, changing the topic of conversation to whatever the donor wants, and adding in one of the other members of the gang as a guest. You can probably guess which of these was triggered the most by a ''country mile'', much to the hilarity and exasperation of the gang. |
| 721 | ** Jon tentatively points out that perhaps the donation for re-running the intro should be raised from $100 only for Stephen to respond that that was very much deliberate. |
| 722 | ---> '''Stephen:''' They said "$100 seems low" and I said "No it does not!" |
| 723 | ** Tom repeats his introduction of "I'm Tom!" after every replay. Others fall into similar patterns, with Jirard repeatedly introducing himself with "I'm!" |
| 724 | ** After one run of the intro, all four of the guys abruptly ''disappear'', leaving only Mal, Dan, and an empty couch on-camera. Dan waves hi, the intro plays again, and suddenly the guys are back on the couch. The comedic timing is just impeccable. |
| 725 | ** The guest incentive eventually comes into play and things quickly get out of hand as just about everyone, ''Lamp and Cardboard Jon included'', comes onboard, notably with Jules lying down on top of the main quartet's laps, Jack standing in the corner with his head out of view like some sort of cryptid, and Lucah hiding behind and messing around with her cardboard husbando. |
| 726 | ** At one point, Tom randomly blows into Jules's belly before getting cut off by the intro. This makes Jerod go ''hysterical'' with laughter. |
| 727 | ** Eventually an incentive is added to ''remove'' people, including ''the main hosts'', and the segment eventually concludes with just a depressed Dan, with no words available, slumped against the couch. |
| 728 | ---> '''Tom:''' ''(before the end of segment title card)'' [[OverlyLongGag I'm Tom.]] |
| 729 | * During ''Wheel of Fortune'', a donation forces Stephen to try to solve a puzzle with only a few letters filled in, and he comes up with the Chaucerian "HAPPYE BEAR ON DRUGGES WAHOOOO". |
| 730 | -->'''Stephen:''' This movie just came out, it's called ''Film/CocaineBear''. |
| 731 | ** Another donation tries to force the same on Tim (playing remotely) for a puzzle with only a few letters found, [[TheAce only for Tim to actually solve the puzzle correctly]]. ''Twice''. |
| 732 | ---> '''Everyone:''' TIM, GET ON THE DAMN SHOW! |
| 733 | * In ''Pictionary'', there is an incentive to donate $50 to change the marker colour. When the chat realises that this includes the near-invisible yellow, the TRG crew promptly make it $1000 to switch to yellow ''specifically''. |
| 734 | ** Jules yells out "THE STANLEY PARABLE!" as his default guess for everything, including before the artist has begun to draw anything. Except for [[{{Irony}} the round where he had to draw, and the answer actually was The Stanley Parable]]. |
| 735 | * A segment is dedicated to Jerod napping on the couch. Incentives included giving and stealing comfort, ASMR provided by Klinkit, a bedtime story with Lord Dona'tor, giving an animal[[note]]First time was an actual stuffed animal, second time was actually Tom in his Workout Wednesday attire doing a Richard Simmons impression[[/note]], disco time, wrapping the couch[[note]]Kampy gets caught in the wrap and stays there holding the lamp for the rest of the segment[[/note]], and "opening up this pit". |
| 736 | ** After the workout routine, the donation total reaches 330k and Kampy, the only remaining person onscreen, prepares to do the Hiker Dance with his free arm. Exactly one note plays before Jack suddenly opens up this pit instead. Kampy only gets to do the Hiker Dance afterward, and throws in a "hey!" for good measure, as the onscreen incentive changes to waking up Jerod "gently". |
| 737 | ** After the end of the segment, Jerod reads donations and discusses the event, mentioning that he had been told that there would be couch-wrapping and wondering why nobody went ahead with it. It turns out he didn't notice the wrap when he got up and left with Masae. He didn't even see Kampy! |
| 738 | ** Jerod stated on cast that he actually did fall asleep during nap time... right before Jack started playing his guitar... |
| 739 | --->'''Jerod:''' Jack's guitar starting up... was the loudest sound I have ever heard in my entire life! And if you go and look at the vod of that, you will see me... jump. You will see my whole body shake for just a moment, 'cause it scared... ''the frick'' out of me, dude. |
| 740 | * During Thrown Controllers, Jon tops the leaderboard to choose the next player. Cardboard Jon is brought in (voiced by Dan). |
| 741 | * Jules decides to do a donor-controlled Flight of the Bumblebee. He says that every $300, the tempo will increase by 10 BPM. MC informs him it's actually $150. [[OhCrap Jules looks at him like a deer in headlights]] and immediately starts ''negotiating'' to bring it down. After he finishes, he plays the world's slowest Hiker Dance and proceeds to collapse on the floor. |
| 742 | * As if all the player swapping, blindfolding, spraying, and the craziness of the custom board didn't make the Mario Party 3 segment chaotic enough... ''they brought the Disc Only intro trigger back'' and even began ''splicing it into old bumpers'' to amp up the insanity. It's $500 to play the intro this time, but besides those trying to save their cash, ''who could resist the temptation''? |
