Line #14 Heartwarming/Videogamedunkey


1	You can tell that Dunkey is a guy who's really passionate about video games. In general, any video that has him [[SincerityMode unironically praising a game]] as a "mastapeece" can be considered this.
2	----
3	* The descriptions to some of his milestone videos thank his fans and subscribers for dancing with him, showing that Dunkey truly must be grateful for all of his fans and subscribers.
4	* He's also willing to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7GN_R_SRnM publicly]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn9yiGW-mfU humiliate]] himself to celebrate how many fans he gets. That's true dedication to his work.
5	* The description to his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK_SVEbPNhA 300k milestone video]] says, "Thanks for subscriping and watching my stuff you guys :D You are the best fan guys in the whole realm."
6	* In his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzM_xwsC_YU 60k milestone video]], the description says his Chatroulette dance party was just like dancing with his subscribers, "[[{{Dissimile}} except my subscribers aren't]] [[TakeThat the scum of the earth.]]"
7	* Dunkey apologizing for making jokes about killing dogs in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfZdneHad0E Constructive Cassiopeia]].
8	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-YT_Ii9e_o "and the hot woman"]], the third video in the ''[[TearJerker Crappy]] [[CreatorBreakdown Company]]'' [[MoodWhiplash series]], is [[LighterAndSofter much happier than the other two videos]]. Before this, Dunkey was lamenting about bad relationships, bad encounters with companies, and weight issues. This video has him talking about a great new relationship (Leah) and how he's been eating healthier. After those two videos of hell, it's hard not to feel good for him.
9	* [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8ElJBcCEAE0b2o.jpg:large This picture of Dunkey and his girlfriend Leah at Disney World]].
10	* The "Dunkey Dance" video, where Dunk spreads joy and happiness to people around him through dance. What especially drives it home is the footage of Dunk dancing with Leah.
11	* His ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' [[https://youtu.be/duPynkGEFGI review]], wherein, despite not having personal childhood nostalgia for it, he still praises it as a "magnificent, towering achievement for video games" that can be epic, serene, scary, and tragic, but [[EarnYourHappyEnding ultimately pays off in a happy ending]].
12	* Dunkey trying to do his best to not be a murderous jerk in VideoGame/{{Undertale}} after he [[spoiler:accidentally kills Toriel]]. [[https://youtu.be/QtplRk6BdyA?t=779 Unfortunately he's not]] [[https://youtu.be/QtplRk6BdyA?t=909 very good at that.]]
13	* Dunkey's best friend Sky Williams [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl72woucC7g making a video of 5 things he loves about him for his birthday]]. Especially great is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl72woucC7g&feature=youtu.be&t=21s the bit]] where Sky talks about a Skype call where the new person that they'd added to the Skype group called Leah a bitch, [[BewareTheNiceOnes and Dunkey immediately tells him to "get the]] [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome off the call"]]. Even when the person tried to say it was a joke, he only told him again to get the fuck off the call. If that doesn't show how much Dunk loves Leah, what will?
14	** On their guest appearance on the [=H3=] Podcast, Dunkey and Leah announced that they are engaged.
15	* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8Nb_zgWZZ4 CS GO : Source]], one player realizes that he's in the same game as Dunkey and promptly [[{{Squee}} spends a few seconds getting excited over this,]] even with Dunkey smack talking him.
16	-->'''Player''':"Dunkey just spoke to me, this is the best day of my life."
17	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OxnkKqsDI8 YouTube Rewind 2016.]] Instead of the usual cynical mocking most people were probably expecting, we get a hilarious, yet very genuine montage of highlights of various [=YouTubers=] who have never been and probably never will be in the real Website/YouTube Highlight (with the exception of WebVideo/PewDiePie, who still gets more screen-time in this video than he did in the actual Rewind). The comments that are gleeful that a [=YouTuber=] they really love, such as more low-key ones such as [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WebVideo/Jerma985 Jerma985]], [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WebVideo/Vinesauce Vinesauce]], and Cr1tikal, are also very heartwarming in their own right.
18	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmUiVXW4R5E In his Dunkview of]] ''VideoGame/YookaLaylee'', he gives the game a score of a 2/5, noting he was very disappointed in the game. However, rather than finishing the video on a DownerEnding, he chooses to instead list a variety of games, old and new, as alternatives to the game.
19	* His ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7Z2I9x4Pd0 review]], calling it a "mastapeece" and celebrating how Mario has come to "reclaim his throne."
20	-->'''Dunkey:''' For real, if you can play this game and not feel some kind of emotion come over you, wipe yourself off man, because you are DEAD.
21	* In a weird way, [[https://youtu.be/Mxv9AM397Y8 his Monster Hunter World]] video. Throughout the whole thing he switches between complaining about the difficulty and calling it the worst game ever and actually finding success and switching his opinion to it being one of the best games he's ever played. After beating [[DiskOneFinalBoss Nergigante]], finding out that there's still more game and getting ''absolutely annihilated'' by a Kirin you'd expect him to swing back to hating the game, right?
22	--->'''Dunkey:''' (sounding excited) Here we go again!
23	** Equally cute is the fact that most of the moments that cause him to swing back towards liking the game aren't gameplay, but involve [[KindheartedCatLover the Felynes doing something he finds adorable.]]
24	** The almost childish gasp of glee after he fells the Nergigante can inspire a sense of pride in those who love challenging games and love seeing others overcome challenges to find the rewarding aspects of such games.
25	* The beginning of his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pSsg2Dn2Jc Youtube Comments]] video has him genuinely saying that his fans are the best a guy could ever have and he's thankful for every one of their comments.
26	* Dunkey pays tribute to Reggie Fils-Aimé upon his retirement as president of Nintendo of America in his own characteristically odd way - with [[GoodTimesMontage a montage of clips]] of him goofing around in E3 promo videos with his Japanese counterpart Satoru Iwata, set to [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 "Circle of Life"]].
27	* His ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MQO2STCbbY review]] is this, given that [[SugarWiki/GushingAboutShowsYouLike the entire video is him praising his favorite video game of all time]].
28	* The ending to his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_HHZcTqJo8 E3 2019 video]] can be considered this, thanks to the clear excitement Dunkey has at being able to see [[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie one of his favorite series]] [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate make a return]].
29	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waXb8QGdEYQ Dunkey and Leah tie the knot.]]
30	-->'''Dunkey''': I love you more than tacos. And... I love you more than videogames. And... I love you more than Sprite. And... I love you more than... Well, all this- all this stuff. [''unfurls his LongList'']
31	** Even more HeartwarmingInHindsight when viewed in the context of his previous relationship, which ended very poorly and tanked his mental health, outlined in the Crappy Company videos. Dunkey eventually found someone who put as much effort into their relationship as he did.
32	* His ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' [[https://youtu.be/eak2dTkR3Ck review]] concisely sums up so much of the majesty of the game... and he does ''not'' forget ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2.''
33	* ''Fortnite Daycare'' is primarily about Dunkey playing Among Us in Fortnite with a bunch of kids...and it's suprisingly wholesome. Aside from some light teasing and randomly accusing everyone, Dunkey seems genuinely amused with the kids and interested in their lives. [[https://youtu.be/82oJt2enz8A?t=157 At one point,]] one player claims he is starting a "Domino effect" with his accusations. Dunkey replies that it's more of a Pizza Hut effect. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Some of the kids actually giggled at that.]]
34	** ''Fortnite Daycare 2'' shows even more of his [[FriendToAllChildren kid caring side]]. There's still some teasing, yes, but he got some kids to crack up still by trying to communicate to someone with a Sock Monkey skin by speaking in monkey.
35	** ''My Indie Game Publishing Company'', in which Dunkey announces Bigmode Games, his and Leah's new publishing company. Yes, it's real, and Dunkey is clearly passionate about it, having set it up to help push the most creative new games out to a wide audience.
36	* The twist at the end of ''Revisiting Uncharted 4'': Dunkey and Leah are having a baby!
37	* During the Big Mode game jam, a chatter asks how "Dunkey Jr." is doing.
38	--> Dunkey: "She's really cute. She's like the cutest baby of all time."
