Go Mad From The Revelation / Web Videos

aka: Web Original

People going mad from the revelation in Web Videos.

---

• The Angry Video Game Nerd:
  • The Nerd himself gets one after hearing Zelda's Bond One-Liner in The Wand of Gamelon.
  • In another James Rolfe-related video series called Shit Pickle, the monkey father from Munky Cheez 2 (yet another video series) goes mad after his kids keep saying "monkey cheese" over and over while watching the original, and those two words are all that the monkey dad can say from then on. Watch it here.
  • During the "Wish List Part 2" video, he plays Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage and declares it to be So Okay, It's Average. Not amazing, but not bad either. Happy to finally find a Spider-Man game that isn't terrible, he looks on the box to check who made it... and finds the LJN logo. The revelation that LJN managed to make even one game that isn't absolute dogshit drives him quite insane, and he is left Skyward Screaming "IT'S NOOOOOT SHIIIIIIIT!!" as the video ends.
  • When reviewing Seaman, the Nerd puts in another game called Explosive Fighter Patton for the Famicom that gives him a message that has "fuck" in it. The Nerd promptly loses his mind knowing that there's a game, released earlier than Hong Kong '97 (which had the famous "herd of fuckin' ugly reds" Precision F-Strike), on a Nintendo console, that uses the word "fuck".
• In this sketch from The B.S. of A. with Brian Sack, three teenage girls watching the MTV Video Music Awards have this reaction upon seeing *NSYNC take the stage to perform a reunion show. When one of them looks up *NSYNC to find out who they are, she sees that the middle-aged men they were making fun of used to be cute young guys, which means that their favorite Boy Band One Direction is doomed to also grow old, which causes them to start quoting The Seventh Seal as they realize that everything eventually dies and turns to dust. Then Dad comes in, tells them that he had the same reaction when New Kids on the Block grew older, and offers them wine to cope now that they've become adults.
• Channel Awesome:
  • The Nostalgia Critic:
    • The Batman & Robin episode of has the Critic going Ax-Crazy after he watches a scene where Batman pulls out a "bat-credit card", and another person had to come in and restrain him for several hours. He manages to compose himself twice, but is immediately set off again when he mentions the card.
    • The Tom and Jerry: The Movie review has him reiterating to the viewers the basics of a particular scene: "A cat and mouse are driving a ship trying to save the daughter of Indiana Jones while being chased by a purple people eater, a dog on a skateboard, a performing ship captain, his hand puppet Squawk, two Mexican wrestlers, and a doctor riding an ice cream cart. Ladies and gentlemen, WELCOME TO THE MIND FUCK." Cue footage of the chase scene interspersed with clips of the Nostalgia Critic going bananas while Flagpole Sitta plays in the background and a big red "MIND FUCK!" flashes on the screen.
    • In the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie reviews, he tried to stay positive on the first and second movies, but still gives out negative responses. He tried to hope that the third movie, which even The Angry Video Game Nerd declares to be awful (he considered the first and second decent), will turn out good... then "5 minutes later"... we see him cuddling around in the bathroom, bawling incoherently, followed with much more Freak Out and inventing the word horrifuckus, after the revelation that the movie was really really... bad.
    • In a scene similar to the Tom and Jerry incident, one of the last moments in the Jingle All the Way review has NC explaining that the movie simply doesn't care anymore after Arnold gets a jetpack and starts doing silly CGI stunts. He then says, "You know what they say... if you can't beat 'em... join them." Then comes the insanity, the flashing "WE DON'T CARE!", and "Playmate, Come Out and Play with Me" playing in the background.
  • Atop the Fourth Wall:
    • Linkara, the Critic's comic-reading counterpart, has a couple moments like these, which he once referred to as "Combine Harvester" moments, after the music that plays in the background. The first was when he read fanmail to Doom's IV that said that Rob Liefeld was a genius. The second one was when he discovers that Amazons Attack was technically a tie-in to Countdown.
      Linkara: (sawing at his wrists with his gun) Why doesn't it work?!
    • Linkara also had this in History of Power Rangers, in the Power Rangers Turbo episode when he saw the Rangers get baked into a giant pizza. He excuses himself, walks away, and then screams on top of his lungs before resuming the video.
    • In the Power Rangers Megaforce episode of HoPR, Linkara, in the third case of him actually appearing on camera in HoPR (after his shocked reaction to Kendrix's death and banging his head against a wall after Dax lets Miratrix steal a scroll, then reusing that last clip to express his disdain for Alpha 6 not being voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz, Wendee Lee, or Caterina Lucciani) is his reaction to Robo Knight's Unexplained Recovery, going Laughing Mad, grabbing a gun, getting up from his chair, firing said gun until he empties the magazine, and his laughing turns to outright screaming.
    • "The Clone Saga" sees the amnesiac Mechakara have a freak out upon finally remembering his identity — and realizing that he Came Back Wrong and was now human (keep in mind, Mechakara was really an evil version of Linkara's Robot Buddy Pollo from an alternate universe and only wore his Linkara's skin).
    • In his review of Animax #1, Linkara explained that he asked Linksano to explain how the Earth could transform into a wasteland and a paradise after the planet stopped rotating and animals were saved from extinction by transforming into cars, he started screaming and had been for the past three hours.
  • The Nostalgia Chick:
    • While hers are much milder than her Spear Counterpart's, she has had a few of her own; most recently in Freddy Got Fingered where she, her friend Nella and co-reviewer Oancitizen have a "going mad montage" involving screaming, sausage and mayonnaise.
    • In the Lost Episode of Dune (1984), when a navigator does its thing and she cries about just wanting to understand this ridiculously confusing movie.
  • Brows Held High:
    • When Allison Pregler can't work out the deeper meaning of MC Kung Fu's lyrics in City Dragon, she employs Kyle to work it out for her. After watching the film, Kyle starts spouting lines from the film out of context, gradually descending into madness.
      Kyle: I can't speak the English language anymore! God help me!
    • Kyle himself has had a few incidents of this in his own show. In particular, there was the "if you can't beat 'em..." segment at the end of the What is it? review, and the Psychic Nosebleed and subsequent Unstoppable Rage he had after keeping his cool through most of A Serbian Film.
    • "Sean Connery is DOROTHY"!!!
  • When the "I Know You Are in There Somewhere" Fight fails to work on The Nostalgia Chick in To Boldly Flee, Todd in the Shadows resorts to this trope, showing her his face. Word of God is that his face reflects one's soul, and The Nostalgia Chick did not like what she saw. This is also why Obscurus Lupa was just dandy after looking at it.
• Critical Role: Exandria Unlimited Calamity: This mini-series takes place on the eve of the Calamity, a Divine Conflict that would rage for the next 300 years, destroying all civilizations and killing 2/3rds of the world population. One of the signs foreshadowing this event is every single oracle in the city of Avalir going insane at the same time.
• Filthy Frank: A gem from the aptly named Lemon Guy: "Uh... I'm A LEMON!"
• JonTron:
  • This gem from his review of "Final Hallway XIII": "I thought I was playing the game Jon... But I've been using the wrong controller this whole time... The game's playing itself Jon! The game's playing itself Jon!!! THE GAME'S JUST PLAYING ITSELF JON!!!"
  • He also didn't take the reveal of Conker being a useable asset in Project Spark very well if "CONKER IS TOTALLY BACK GUYS" is anything to go by...
  • And then there's his meltdown in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
    Cars? Cars...? CAAAAAAARRRRRRSSSS!!!! (drops into a song) AND IIIIIIIII-(HOLY SHIT!)-WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU! (I can't believe you did this to me, goddammit! How could you do this to me!?!?)
• Josh Scorcher, a Top Ten List maker and a reviewer of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, upon witnessing Alicorn Twilight, went utterly apeshit in the same vein of The Nostalgia Critic over TMNT 3 with the music "Bãtutã Din Moldova" playing on the background... but then parodied it as he suddenly calms down, thinks a bit and says, "I'm OK with this."
• In the NatOne Productions universe of The Last Stage, the characters have all become noticeably crazier over time. With the most obvious example of Agent PARKER, it seems most field agents are doomed to this fate. Assuming, of course, that they don't end up stomped to death by an Eldritch Abomination.
• Saberspark:
  • Watching Christmas in New York is so bombastic and chaotic that it drives Saber completely mad. He completely loses his sanity in the (literal) fever dream of an ending.
    Saberspark: "That's the movie. That's the movie! THAT'S THE MOVIE! THAT'S THE MOVIE!! THAT'S THE MOVIE!!! THAT'S THE ENTIRE MOVIE!!!! WHAT'S GOING ON?!?!" (hellish screech) (The audio becomes ear-piercingly distorted past his second "That's the movie")
  • In the video about Transformation Fiction, Sabie mentions Gender Bending as one example of transformation, which Saber did a previous video on the topic. Saber then tells her that that's how "[she] was born", giving her a Thousand-Yard Stare.
• VShojo: Part of the backstory of several members, as detailed in Ironmouse's lore video; after Ironmouse, aka Satanael, led a number of angels to defy Heaven and break into the chamber where the Creator supposedly dwelt, despite none of them ever having seen him, they encountered... something. Whatever was in that chamber (whether it was actually the Creator or not is unclear) it so horrified and traumatized them the memory of it was burned from their minds, and all they can remember is the feeling of horror they felt on seeing whatever it was. In addition to causing Ironmouse, Bubi, and everyone else who saw it to become the Fallen Angels they are now, it's also implied to have caused Nazuna's amnesia, even though she only saw it by accident. Going off of Nyanner's own lore video, one strong possibility is that it was Azathoth.
