Funny / Hot Pepper Gaming

• After months of going back and forth in order to set it up, The Super Best Friends Zaibatsu are going on the show, starting with Woolie reviewing Mortal Kombat X after eating a Bhut Jolokia "Ghost" Pepper. He, despite being a man renowned for his tolerance for spicy foods, is laid low by the pepper and ends up in a screaming fit so loud it screwed with the audio for the episode!
  • When Woolie mentioned Predator being in the game, the editor instead shows Chris Hansen.
  Woolie: It's cool!
  ("Predators are never cool." - Chris Hansen)
  • So who had the highest-rated comment for Woolie's review?
  ZONE: Well, I now have all the audio I need.
• Highlights from Egoraptor's reviews:
  • Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate:
    • "But first, I'm gonna eat...f**king pepper."
    • "Arin's favorite pepper is 'none of them'."
    • The fact that he starts his review shouting. To specify, he's shouting about how a game called Monster Hunter is about hunting monsters.
    • After trying his best to deal with the pain, Arin says what we all suspected to be true:
  Arin: I wanna kill myself...
  • "Oh wait, I didn't even mention, sorry I forgot, MY MOUTH WAS F**KING BURNING."
  • Arin ends the video giving the game 5 peppers out of 5, and gives the pepper itself "like, a thousand", with an accurate representation of that many peppers appearing in a massive heap at the bottom of the screen.
  • After doing the end slate, Arin just sits there, drinking his milk, with a look of utter defeat and trauma on his face.
  • MGS V: Ground Zeroes:
    • After Arin notes how the game is for next-gen and past-gen Xboxes and Playstations while the editor piles images of the consoles on top of one another, the editor adds the Atari Jaguar on top.
    • "I'm gonna eat a ghost pepper. What the f***, right?"
    • The juxtaposition of Arin violently coughing and the text stating that the Bhut Jolokia pepper is used by India for smoke grenades.
    • "Hey — (Beat) — so here's the thing — (Beat) — about Metal Gear Solid — (Beat) — V: Ground Zeroes."
    • Arin casually saying "Please stop" to voice his feelings about the pain he's in.
    • "This is not cool. This is one of the not coolest things...thatseverhappenedtome."
    • Arin bluntly admitting that he doesn't know what he's talking about in his review.
    • Arin's ratings. He gives the game "4.5 out of hot peppers out of hot peppers", and states that when it comes to the pepper, "this sh*t's like a Mobius strip!" Cue an image of an INFINITY PEPPER designed in the shape of a Mobius strip with a golden infinity emblem at the center, with an angelic choir.
    • While frantically eating bread, Arin says, "I'm not f***ing with you people. This is some true sh**."
    • Amazed that the pepper's spice hasn't died down, Arin asks if the ghost pepper is genetically modified and one of the crew tells him it's naturally occurring. Arin's response is priceless:
  Arin: God is a dick.
  • After all of the annotations and video thumbnails appear, the video still keeps going for an additional 89 seconds.
• Jovenshire's hot pepper review. It starts with him making an assortment of high-pitched noises while chewing the pepper, and he just devolves into a blubbering mess throughout the review.
  • "Fun Fact: Habanero peppers are known to have many positive health benefits. Although we wouldn't know anything about that."
• Todd Haberkorn has a rather fantastic reaction to his encounter with a habanero. Who knew that Natsu cursed so much?
  "...fuck my ass!"
  "I give the game a five out of five. And the pepper is a... FUCK YOU, PEPPER!"
• Austin Creed/Xavier Woods' review of Street Fighter V is full of this.
  • After he finishes his review, he does the unthinkable as he eats another pepper and launches into a review of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!.
  • "JESUS CHRIST IT'S HOT!!"
  • After the impromptu Double Dash review, he goes even further by eating a third pepper and reviewing NiGHTS into Dreams….
  • His facial expression right after the above.
  • "[coughs] Am I bleeding?! What the f--"
  • His final rating? 27 peppers out of 5.
  • "I'M DONE, F*** THESE PEPPERS!"
• TWRP review Spaceteam, sans Phobos who "didn't want to do this." Aside from being noteworthy in that there are THREE reviewers who ate a hot pepper, and that they are all in costume, it's extremely amusing to watch Commander Meouch and Doctor Sung attempt to speak while Havve Hogan, the drummer, just repeatedly drums his finger or pounds on the table in agony.
