Funny / Cimoooooooo

Between Cimoooooooo's many different Collab Series with fellow Yugitubers, it's to be expected that there will be some very funny moments. Fortunately many of the best moments have been catalogued in "Best of" Compilations for those who don't have the time to watch each episode.

---

General

• MBT's Visual Puns with his card backs are often quite amusing, sometimes blatantly giving away what he's playing in a given episode.
• Some of the names of Patreon Supporters that get a shout out can be very weird and/or hilariously inappropriate.
• The opening of his reaction video to the October 2022 banlist, which uniquely begins with a cold opening.
  Cimo (While looking at the view from his hotel window): Oh, hey, good morning. I was just standing here reflecting back on what an incredible honeymoon we've had. I mean, all of the amazing places we've been to, trying some of the best food imaginable, and just not having to think about work for like four or five weeks. Just being able to take a step back has just been really peaceful.
  Cimo's wife: There was a banlist.
  Cimo spits out his drink and does an Aside Glance.
  Cimo: Really? Out of all the times for them to drop a banlist, it's gonna be on my honeymoon? There's gonna be other banlists, I want to enjoy my time, enjoy you, enjoy where we are, I can make the video later.
  Cimo's wife: They didn't ban Mystic Mine.
  Cue a bigger Spit Take from Cimo.
  Cimo: Give me the camera.

Progression Series

• Episode 6: Legacy of Darkness has Cimo managing to use Ominous Fortunetelling to burn Nyhmnim to death, with him desperately trying to persuade Cimo to guess anything but monster to survive.
• Episode 10: Invasion of Chaos, Nyhmnim vents his frustration at losing the match despite pulling double Chaos Emperor Dragon.
• Episode 26: Phantom Darkness, Cimo does a perfectly timed Mind Crush to deny Nyhmnim the chance to summon of Chaos Emperor Dragon yet again, but also simultaneously reveals Gage's pull of another notorious Game-Breaker, Dark Armed Dragon, much to Cimoooooooo's frustration. And to add icing to the cake, Gage proceeds to topdeck his other Chaos Emperor.
• Gage's increasing annoyance at losing to Kalut. It even gets a Montage set to In the hall of the Mountain King for Progression Series highlights of 2021.
• Episode 37: Starstrike Blast Has Cimoooooooo Imperial Order against Gage’s Pot of Greed, twice.
• Episode 39: Extreme Victory gives us Gage’s meltdown when Cimoooooooo proceeds to Rules Lawyer him by pointing out Ronintoadin’s inability to be used as synchro material.

  Cimo: It’s the first line of text.

• Episodes 45 and 46 are where the duo first start abusing Magical Scientist, first where Cimo loses a game because he underestimated how much of a threat it posed, and proceeds to get his revenge in the next episode, which shortly leads to them both agreeing to ban the card from the rest of the series for being such an insane Game-Breaker.
• Episode 63: Maximum Crisis gives one of the most absurdly lucky Cimoooooooo pulls as he gets not one but two Master Pieces, and Nyhmnim’s reaction. The quote he follows it up with sums it up:

  Gage: I just lost the fucking series.

• Episode 77: Phantom Rage, where Cimoooooooo plays and successfully uses Gren Maju Da Eiza.

Progression Series Season 2

• While most vs graphics indicate the decks they are playing with Yugioh cards, Dark Revelation 2 just uses Pac-Man's model from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It gets even funnier starting in Power of the Duelist where they just photoshop his face onto Des Lacooda.
• Episode 35: Duelist Pack Jaden Yuki 3 and Jesse Anderson gives us Gage predicting a Sakuretsu Armor for his Raiza shortly before attacking right into it. To further rub salt into the wound, Cimo also gets to Confiscation his Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning right before he would have been able to summon it.
• Episode 36: Phantom Darkness has the tables turned with Cimoooooooo pulling the Dark Armed Dragon, which is revealed with an awkward mill and Gage reacting appropriately, which is followed up shortly with another mill revealing his "snatch steal" of snatch steal.
• Episode 45: Gold Series 2 gives us the amusing spectacle of Cimo winning with Warrior Elimination, with Gage responding with a Curse Cut Short as he processes what just happened.

  Cimo: I think I’m about to scar you for the rest of your life.

• Episode 66: In one of the biggest contrasts of Gage's luck since pulling double Chaos Emperor in season one, he pulls practically every good XYZ monster he could from the packs, only to get crushed in the following match. Most embarassingly, Cimo wins game 2 by beating him down with Dekoichi after negating his Solemn Judgement with his own to ensure the denial of Call of the Haunted.
• In the Premium Gold: Return of the Bling Episode, Gage and Cimo are toe to toe in game 3, where two such events happened. First, Gage destroying the entire board with Dark Hole while having the monster advantage just to destroy Battle Fader (though, to be fair, Gage was playing Dragon Rulers and Cimo had Vanity Fiend on hand), then later correctly predicting that Cimo had another Fader in hand, leading to a Card Destruction play...that sees not only the final Fader, but also Envoy of the Beginning already set-up, leading to Cimo's win.

History of Yugioh

• Episode 6: Magic Ruler has Cimo draw enough hand destruction to eliminate every last card in Joseph's hand, and then the following turn topdeck Pot of Greed. The Rage Quit of the game at that point says it all.
• Episode 9 has perhaps the most legendary moment in the series, as Cimo foresees his own downfall as if he had the Millennium Necklace and the first and most improbable One Turn Kill in the series occurs.
  Cimo: Monster Reborn, Megamorph, normal summon kills me. That's too good. I'm gonna activate Swords of Revealing Light, and I'll pass.
  MBT: That's a pretty interesting three-card combo you think I have in my hand. Absurd. What did you say, Megamorph, Monster Reborn, normal summonable monster? And for turn I would have had to draw something to deal with Swords of Revealing Light? I mean, insane! Impossible! Impeccable! What's the percent chance of that happening in a 40-card deck? Zero!
  Cimo: Please do not tell me that's where this is going...
  MBT: Anyway, I think I'll start with a Mystical Space Typhoon, targeting your Swords of Revealing Light.
  Cimo: FUUUUUUUUCK!
  MBT: Folks, who needs Exodia? Who needs Exodia when you can just draw the right four cards every time? Second step, I think I will Monster Reborn, we'll target that Goblin Attack Force you have in the graveyard, seems like a pretty good card. I'll normal summon a Dark Elf as well, and for the last card in hand, I'll equip it with a Megamorph.
• In the third game of the Dark Crisis episode, Cimo (who for this episode was playing a Butterfly Dagger Elma Exodia OTK deck^note The deck uses Gearfried The Iron Knight's effect to loop Elma infinitely, which, when combined with Royal Magical Library, allows the user to draw their entire deck in one turn.) draws Monster Reborn, 2 pieces of Exodia, Gearfried The Iron Knight and Sangan for his opening hand. He then draws a third piece of Exodia, and by using Monster Reborn to loop Sangan's effect, adds the other 2 pieces of Exodia to hand, winning the duel on the fifth turn without using Elma at all. Cimo seals this by hamming it up to a level that Dan Green would be proud of.
  Cimo: Joseph Rothschild...
  MBT: There's no way. 8 cards deep, absolutely not. Absolutely not!
  Cimo: Joseph Rothschild. DID YOU NOT LEARN YOUR LESSON THE FIRST TIME YOU FACED EXODIA THE FORBIDDEN ONE? I HAVE ASSEMBLED ALL FIVE PIECES YET AGAIN OF THE ULTIMATE BEING IN DUEL MONSTERS! HAVE YOU NO SHAME? BOW DOWN BEFORE YOUR GREAT EGYPTIAN OVERLORD BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR FATE!
• Episode 26: Elemental Energy gives us a hysterical chain of Return from the Different Dimension -> Royal Decree -> Another Return -> yet another Decree, followed up by stuffing Premature Burial with a Mystical Space Typhoon, which seals the game.
• Episode 58 features MBT instantly surrendering after Cimo activates Royal Tribute.
  MBT: IT WAS FOUR MONSTERS!
• The Wind-up Hand-loop episode ending features MBT pulling off the hand loop for the last few of Cimo's cards...only to lose every last one of his Wind-up monsters as Cimo pulls a topdeck worthy of Yugi himself in the form of Cyber Dragon contact fusing away MBT's entire field, stealing the game and match.
• The Duelist Alliance episode. Cimo is backed into a corner and pretty much needs Shaddoll Fusion to get himself out of it. He then remarks that he's got a one in thirty shot to pull it. Then, by an absolute Heart of the Cards miracle, he gets it and breaks out laughing. MBT's reaction to this is absolutely priceless.
• In the D/D/D episode, MBT leads by introducing the D/D/D list of January 2017. He describes the archetype, where the boss monsters are named after conquerors and corporate hierarchy, as a terrifying one that evokes the feelings... of capitalism. And much like capitalism, you spin your wheels for a long time for not enough payoff.
• The Zoodiac episode starts with MBT talking about how absurdly strong Zoodiac was: the top 32 in the first tournament of the format was "Zoo, Zoo, Zoo, Zoo, Zoo, Zoo, Zoo... and 60 card Burning Abyss. Some things never change."

History of Jank

• Episode 2: MBT's sheer glee at getting to play P.A.C.M.A.N. and Cimo later pointing out how obviously he telegraphed the choice.
• What card backs does MBT use for the Herald of Perfection mirror match? Hide the Pain Harold.
• Episode 38 has MBT somehow get to summon Dark Armed Dragon Twice and ultimately win despite Cimoooooooo playing a banish heavy deck that should logically hard counter his mill deck that episode, to Cimoooooooo's frustration.
• Episode 47 has MBT reluctantly playing Ice Barriers while Cimoooooooo gets Hammy as he plays a Moja/King of the Beasts variant of Piper Chaos. Particularly amusing is MBT's Rage Quit at the sight of Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning being drawn by Piper in game 2.
• #56 shows Cimoooooooo’s continued crazy luck with Exodia by sweeping 2-0 by the skin of his teeth both games. First by drawing the last piece right as Morphing Jar would have been added off Gold Sarcophagus. Then second by somehow drawing his one out to Morphing Jar barely in time and then drawing the final piece with his last draw card before Final Countdown would have hit turn 20.

History of the OCG

• In the second Exodia episode, we get a record settingly short episode as Cimoooooooo wins in a ridiculously short fashion in the first two games demonstrating how absurdly broken the strategy became. Particularly absurd: he wins game two with a single Graceful Charity.
