Ya'll what if I preserved things I found funny - Azul

Former Meta Folder for Funny/Fire Emblem Three Houses

• Several of the Twitter announcements for the English voice actors are rather hilarious.
  • Joe Zieja as Claude: Before making the statement, he climbs up on something and delivers the announcement upside-down. In fact, Joe Zieja has fully embraced the 'Upside-Down Claude' meme, and even did it in a picture, behind held up by fellow voice actors Tara Platt (Edelgard) who's bemused by it all, and an incredibly thrilled Chris Hackney (Dimitri).
  • Patrick Seitz (who was a high school English teacher for two years) as Jeritza: "In addition to directing duties, I also voice this fellow—as that is the exact face *I* used to make when I caught my students plagiarizing entire essays off of the internet."
  • Ben Diskin as Lorenz takes the cake. "I play Lorenz! (AKA That guy who shows up to your birthday party, says, 'My presence is my present,' hits on your girlfriend, eats your food, drinks your booze, tells you his parties are better, and doesn't understand why everyone hates him.)"
  • Diskin's post for Caspar is hilarious as well. "AKA That guy who buys platform shoes because he thinks it'll make him look tall but just winds up looking like a short guy with weird taste in footwear and runs around flexing on anyone who calls him out for it."
• Erica Lindbeck (Celica) has a thirst for men in eyepatches and wrote this hilarious fanfiction of her and Dimitri. She later clarified that "things between Alm and Celica are just fine" as Kyle McCarley (Alm) looks very disgruntled in the background.
  • To say nothing of her reaction to Chris Hackney showing her Dimitri's NG+ hairstyle.
  • And then there's her Original Character Karen who has since become a meme in herself.
• Mark Whitten (Seteth) reads Seteth memes in character as Seteth, commenting on such things as Edelgard griefing in Minecraft and being trapped in a McDonald's PlayPlace with Flayn. And then fanart of the latter gag surfaced (up to and including a brief animation), with Whitten positively enjoying it.
  • And now there's a Minecraft edit!
• Polygon published an article reporting that the Black Eagles were the most popular house, which promptly started a meme war.
  • Joe Zieja's hilarious call to arms.
  • Chris Hackney (Dimitri) calmly and coolly responds to Zieja.
  • Allegra Clark shows off why she was cast as Dorothea (and Shamir) with her impressive vocal chops.
    • Zieja actually provides a full accompaniment to her vocals for the complete version of Carmen: Hoes Mad Edition.
  • Erica Mendez (Bernadetta) joins the fray.
    Mendez: If you say the Black Eagles aren’t the best House... then I’m sorry Deer, but you’re just Lion to yourself.
  • Faye Mata (Petra) also gives her add to it, with Petra-style talk.
    Mata: I have apologies... I apologize for not having the understanding that hoes are feeling the mad. Please explain.
• Khoi Dao (Wolt) posted a hilarious video taunting Chris Hackney and the Blue Lions. Hackney was not amused.
  Dao: Hey, Chris... [posts a sticky note reading "BLUE LIONS SUCK"] Read it and weep, loser! BLACK EAGLES RULE!!!
  Hackney: I WILL NOT SUFFER THIS FALSE PROPAGANDA, KHOI! Your reign of terror will soon be at an end...
• Erica Mendez nails her Bernadetta cosplay.
• Flayn's notorious appetite for fish has been the subject of many a meme. One such crossover image has Byleth and Joker take a picture while holding up a large fish they've caught, only for Morgana and Flayn to dash towards it in the follow-up picture. Even her voice actress (Deva Marie Gregory) acknowledged it.
• Joe Zieja does it again with a parody of Dimitri's typical problem solving methods. Becomes even funnier considering Zieja auditioned for the role of Dimitri before being cast as Claude.
• This C-Support recreation of The Uno Argument, starring Hilda and Marianne. And then there's the fan-animation version, which really has to be seen to be believed.
  • And then there's their S-Support.
• This Twitter thread showcasing the cast if they had Twitter accounts will leave you reeling. Highlights include:
  • Hilda posts a picture of a bald Lorenz. Lorenz's response is... not very noble.
    Lorenz: I told you to stop posting this picture. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you.
  • Ignatz posts a tweet in a rather prose manner, only for Raphael (who has Big Chungus as his icon) to casually ask him if he wants to go to "Waffle House". He gets over 65,500 replies.
    • In addition to Raphael, several characters have amusing icons: Petra has Starfire, presumably in reference to the meme about the similarities between the two, Dimitri has Captain America and Claude has a picture of Parappa The Rapper looking smug with the caption "schemin."
  • Claude and Dimitri make puns on their house names, only for Edelgard to simply respond with "Eagle".
  • The official Garreg Mach Monastery Twitter asks students how they'll be spending their Spring Break, and Raphael responds that he will be visiting his little sister. Then Ignatz replies that he will also be visiting Raphael's sister. Raphael is not amused, but Hilda is.
  • Marianne is feeling down in the dumps after a breakup. Claude's response, while heartfelt, also has him asking Marianne if seeing him do a backflip off his roof would make her feel better.
  • Byleth somehow tweets from a Teutates Pike, a.k.a. a fish.
    Byleth: test
    Claude: Teach is this tomorrow's lesson plan or do you just need some help
    Petra: Am I reading this wrong? Is the website saying that you have made this post with using a fish?
    Flayn: HOW DID YOU DO THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PROFESSOR!!!
  • Petra changes her username from "petrasthoughts" to "petrasthots" by Sylvain's suggestion, and Petra is utterly oblivious to the attention she's getting.
  • Hilda and Dorothea plan to skip class, only for Byleth to reply, causing Hilda to block them in a panic, and leads Sylvain, now with a Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta icon to want to DM them.
  • Flayn complains about how Seteth apparently broke the wrist of a boy she was having tea with, leading Annette to ask if she needs help, much to Linhardt's annoyance, as he was the one with the broken wrist!
  • Where's Felix? He got banned for sending death threats to Dimitri and Ashe. Twice.
  • Byleth tweets about being hungry and asks their students to bring them a bagel, bribing them with extra credit. They end up with 24 bagels. And they're still tweeting from the Teutates Pike!
  • Annette and Mercedes show their affection for one another in an adorable manner, only for Sylvain to casually ask if they're up for a threesome. He gets blocked.
  • Ignatz is taking commissions, much to Claude's delight. Claude's commission is a vanity piece that is so rife with mindless self-indulgence on Claude's part—including nudity and a strategically placed Failnaught—that Ignatz' sigh of discontent can be felt by reading his response. Silver lining: it helped Ignatz come out as bi,^explanation mostly due to Ignatz gaining a better appreciation of the human body thanks to Claude repeatedly insisting on posing nude for him despite repeatedly telling him it's not necessary so there's that.
  • Lindhart calls Jeralt a "DILF", with Leonie interpreting it as "Dutiful Intuitive Legendary Fighter". Byleth, on the other hand, apparently knows exactly what the acronym means, and replies to Lindhart's tweet telling him to see them after class. Needless to say, Lindhart begins to panic.
    Linhardt: OH FUCK OH SHIT
  • Lysithea claims she saw a ghost wandering the halls, prompting Marianne to ask her to show a picture of what it looked like. Marianne recognizes the drawing as herself wrapped in a blanket, much to Lysithea's embarrassment.
  • Sylvain makes a rather ambiguous tweet, possibly about how his night went. Petra clarifies in a DM to Dorothea that Sylvain scored with her, but broke down crying during sex and went on a half-hour tangent about how crests ruined his life before they could continue. And somehow, this wasn't even the low point of the night. Dorothea is left keysmashing in confusion.
  • Ashe adopts a dog and names him "Beaglegard", prompting a furious Hubert to demand that he change the name right this instant or else become an enemy of the Empire. Once Ashe asks for suggestions, practically everyone, including Byleth, tells him to name the dog "Hubert"^note the exception being Felix, who suggests Paimon for a name. Hubert is annoyed at how even Byleth has no issue messing with him like that.
  • Seteth is named "Staff Member of the Year", and the tweet asks everyone what is admirable about him. Manuela starts talking about how... intimately she knows Seteth, leading Byleth to freak out at her for tweeting something so... scandalous, which leads Flayn to ask what everyone's freaking out about, much to Cyril and Marianne's horror! Poor Flayn's response at the end is simply ":(".
  • Claude makes a flirty tweet about Hilda, and then tries to flirt with Dimitri, but unfortunately, Dimitri assumes Claude is simply trying to mess with him. Also, Claude is somehow tweeting from Failnaught, a.k.a. his BOW!
  • Cyril notes how he wanted to use a picture of Rhea, but people told him it looked weird, so he ends up using a picture of Pit, because of how similar Palutena is to Rhea, instead. Cue Sylvain, yet again, making a hilariously inappropriate comment connecting Palutena and Rhea together^{note (NSFW)} "Fuck I wish you hadn't pointed out these similarities ... now I won't be able to beat my dick to Palutena hentai without thinking of the damn Archbishop every single time :(", which leads Cyril to immediately ask Lysithea how to block him. In the end, Sylvain is left wondering why he can't catch a break lately... leading Felix (who's on his fourth account) and Ingrid to coldly insult him, with only Ashe actually trying to comfort him.
• Cherami Leigh (Rhea) does her take on the Seteth Says meme.
• Claude interrogates Jeritza, to the audio of this legendary scene from Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Complete with the guitar.
  • There's also a Freeze-Frame Bonus from the very last second of the animation: the title of the book Hilda's reading is How To Talk Sylvain Into Doing Your Work For You.
  • The Black Eagles also get the Brooklyn Nine-Nine treatment, noting the dynamic between Edelgard, Lysithea, and Dorothea. Sylvain's presence suggests a female Byleth, which is even more in character with the series. Commenters also have fun with Dorothea's full name implications.
• This game's soundtrack has been hit with constant copyright claims on Youtube. People are circumventing those with titles clarifying that their video is definitely not a Three Houses soundtrack of any kind and meme thumbnails. It's hilariously in-character for Golden Deer to have uploads of its final boss theme beat the system through the power of memes.
• Joe Zieja and Allegra Clark come full-circle and review fan memes.
• Anime Impulse's video of bowling with the cast definitely qualifies. Several moments include:
  • Billy Kametz (Ferdinand von Aegir) consistently failing to knock down his remaining pins.
    • At one point, the camera shows just how far away Billy's ball was from the pins, with a caption saying "not even close, btw." Billy still insists that he was "THIS close."
  • Deva Marie Gregory (Flayn) dropping an F-Bomb when Joe Zieja gets a strike.
    Deva Marie: WHAT THE FUCK!?
    Joe: [does a small but extravagant bow in response]
  • Mark Whitten (Seteth) going through his game plan to get a strike in-character.
    Mark: My game plan is to... have a concentrated approach. Right down the center. Slightly off to the right, just at the end. I will knock all of the pins down. And everyone will rejoice. *turns around to look at everyone* No one's paying attention.
    • As he bowls you can hear someone shouting "YAS SETETH!" and he actually gets the strike!
  • Billy sliding around in his bowling shoes and Mark tying Deva's own bowling shoes in a typical Seteth-and-Flayn interaction.
  • The cameraman amusingly pointing out Joe's current score.
    Cameraman: Sixty-Nine!
    Joe: [shrugs] What can I say?
  • Everyone entering their character names into the scoreboard instead of using their actual names.
  • Just how many strikes Joe got throughout the video is funny/awesome in itself.
    Everyone the next time Joe rolls: GO! GO! GO! GO!
  • Joe, Allegra, and Mark at the end of the video:
    Joe: [puts his hands behind his head so they resemble antlers] FEAR THE DEER!
    Allegra: [jumps in front of him] NO, NO, NO! Stop that! Stop that bullshit!
    Mark: [mimicking an eagle flying behind her] Actually, wait... [does prayer hands] Actually, Fear the Church! Fear the Church!
  • If you look at the scoreboard carefully at the end of the video you'll see that Joe got 107 while Mark's has 116, Fear the Church indeed...
• Joe Zieja (again) and Mark Whitten did a YouTube bit where they imitated each other's characters. Zieja first read a couple of Seteth Says memes (including one delightfully meta one where Seteth asks Byleth to investigate the increasing number of Seteth Says memes), and then they moved onto a support conversation; however, since Claude and Seteth don't have any support conversations together, they instead did a Claude/Hilda support, with Zieja playing the role of Hilda. Zieja's Seteth and Whitten's Claude impressions were both extremely good, demonstrating their talent as voice actors. Zieja's Hilda was... less impressive, ultimately sounding like some unholy mix of Julia Child, Mickey Mouse, and Kermit the Frog.
• Anime Impulse uploaded a parody of Red Velvet's sneaky eating challenge. The roster is comprised of Joe Zieja (Claude), Chris Hackney (Dimitri), and Christian La Monte (Ignatz) acting as the Holy Alliance, Billy Kametz (Ferdinand von Aegir), Allegra Clark (Dorothea), and Faye Mata (Petra) representing the Black Eagles and Mark Whitten (Seteth) and Deva Marie Gregory (Flayn) representing the Church of Seiros. They're even dressed as their characters in varying degrees, between wearing t-shirts the color of their house, Allegra wearing Dorothea's signature hat, Faye wearing Petra's braided ponytail, and Chris donning Dimitri's eye patch at one point. One of Impulse's crew members, Chell, is overseeing the challenge as female Byleth (she's even wearing a blue wig to match!) The result of all this combined is nothing short of chaotic hilarity.
  • Chell conveniently has to turn her back on the class so she could right stuff on the board. The students are more than happy to let her and quickly start devouring their snacks before she can catch any of them
  • Even the first question:
    Chell: What is Dimitri's favorite kind of cheese?
    Chris: Whatever's in his mouth at that moment.
    Chell: That's dirty. [everyone starts laughing]
    Chris: How dare you!
    Christian: But not wrong!
    Chris: (pointing to Christian) ... Also true.
    Chell: Wrong. It's 'Brievenge'. [everyone laughs more]
    Mark: A dish best served cheese.
    Chris: Brie every last one of them!
  • A question for Allegra:
    Chell: When Shamir is watching people from a distance, does that make her Shafar? [Joe and Billy put their heads down while Faye starts laughing]
    Allegra: Only if she Sha-ever you are!
    (cue a clip of Titanic (1997) playing, with Catherine and Shamir's heads superimposed over Jack and Rose, respectively, set to the godawful recorder rendition of "My Heart Will Go On")
• It only gets better (and more hilarious!): Anime Impulse uploaded another version of this challenge. The only difference is that they changed the mode from Casual to MADDENING! While Chell allowed them to get off easy in Casual, in Maddening Mode, they're automatically disqualified for any "super suspicious activity"!
  • Chell immediately gets the ball rolling by dropping a couple of swears.
    Chell: [pointing to the class with her baton like a weapon] I better not see any of you fuckers eating!
    Everyone: [assorted laughs and scandalized gasps]
    Christian: I think we're legally allowed to leave...!
    Mark: Um, she is the teacher, she can say whatever she wants...
    Chell: [twirling baton while smiling] Damn fucking right!
  • When Chell asks Chris what's the name of Dimitri's canonical spouse:
    Chris: Oh! Byleth.
    Chell: No.
    Chris: [wide-eyed] Yes.
    Chell: It's Erica Lindbeck! What are you talking about!?
    Chris: I'm SOOOOOOOOORRRYYYYYYY!
    Joe: She's gonna see this!
    Allegra: I'm gonna text her RIGHT NOW.
    Chris: DON'T TELL HER!!! DON'T TELL HER!!!!!!!
  • Chell nearly breaks Mark with math:
    Chell: Mark, if Wyvern Class Flayn moves at 20 squares per turn, how many turns does it take Seteth to (long, rambling nonsense)
    (Joe can be seen gawking at Chell as she continues to ramble; then several text boxes consisting of fem!Byleth and long strings of random characters breaking the table start swirling and moving around as Mark just kind of looks at her in confusion)
    Chell: ...round up to the nearest estimate, please...
    Mark: Fly a pegasus instead.
    Chell: ...that's not what I asked, but okay.
  • Joe and Chris attempt to give Allegra the deuce cap. First Chris accusing her of hiding snacks in her bra and her actually looking down and declaring "There's nothing in there but tiddy!"
  • The second one involves Joe possibly putting a Cheez-it snack on her desk to frame her. Afterwards, Faye tries to distract Chell by pointing out how great she looks in Ignatz's glasses. It doesn't work and it looks like the Black Eagles are going to lose another member but Faye's distraction gives Allegra enough time to pull out a hidden trump card: because she voices two characters in the game, she promptly switches from Dorothea's voice to Shamir's to evade getting the cap. Chell is appropriately caught off-guard.
    Chris: Are you actually talking back to Teacher?
    Allegra: I'm Shamir, I can do whatever I want. I'm not one of your students.
    • Right after she says that the screen pauses on her smug expression, turns black and white, with text at the bottom, "she GOT us with a loop hole...Shamir doesn't take orders from anyone. Allegra gets a pass." Followed by them animating sunglasses on Allegra with the words FEAR SHAMIR. And if you look slightly to the left you can see Chris slack-jawed and wide-eyed at Allegra's evasion and Joe still putting the cap on her with absolute serious intent.
  • Chris' clapbacks to most of the other VA's in the MADDENING version qualify. This first one goes to Billy:
    Billy: [lying to cover up the fact he was eating] Yeah, I got into a fight...cuz I'm a really tough guy. [Press X to Doubt text appears]
    Faye: Chris got into a fight too before! Look at his eye!
    Chris: BUT I DON'T BITCH ABOUT IT! TOUGHEN UP!
  • Not even a full minute after:
    Chris: I KEEP MY TRAUMA ON THE INSIDE THANK YOU. [followed by a clip of Dimitri shouting "KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!"]
  • When Allerga starts snarking at him:
    Chris: Why don't you go sing a song someone cares about? Back off!
    Christian: Mark's got a collection of songs...
    Chris: Is one of the 'Bitch Get Back'? Cause one of them should be.
  • And right after Allegra sings another rendition of her 'hoes mad' song:
    Chris: Don't make me switch this [points to eyepatch] to the other eye! I'll get serious!
• The fact the update that included adding Jeritza as a playable character launched on...November 7th, aka Linhardt's birthday. ^note Meaning the second male bisexual option released on the birthday of the previously only male bisexual option.
• One Youtuber discovered that there is an actual, no joke, modifier for the female party members breasts for when their character model is using the generic class appearance model, both pre-timeskip and post-timeskip. According to the results, Bernadetta of all characters grew the most during the timeskip, followed by Annette; while Manuela, female Byleth, and Mercedes are the bustiest period both pre- and post-timeskip. The hilarity of such a detail has not gone unnoticed by the community, and quickly memes spread about the usage of percents to indicate how busty the cast are.
• Sothis forces Byleth to join Smash, because of course she does.
  • Byleth uses some Exact Words to counter fan criticism of Smash roster choices, by changing sex. She can't be "another swordsman" if she's not a man. Sothis rewards Byleth for this by giving them additional, non-sword, weapons.
• Joe Zieja decided to stream his own playthrough of the game (on the Golden Deer route, naturally.) The entire Let's Play is 50+ hours of nonstop hilarity.
  • Just to start with, Joe chose to name his Byleth "Claudia". With every intention of romancing Claude.
  • For some reason, Joe really hates Lorenz, and reacts with sorrow whenever he gets MVP on a map. Plus, he mispronounces the guy's name (saying it as "Lo-RENZ" instead of the proper "Lawrence") for a time, and is a tad miffed when he realizes his error (from one of Claude's lines, no less). Calling out his chat for failing to correct him is just icing on the cake.
  • Joe is really fond of Dorothea's hat, so much so that discovering that she loses it after the timeskip makes him reconsider recruiting her.
  • While watching Claude and Hilda's C-support, Joe gets caught off-guard when Claude makes a flirty (and suggestive) remark towards her, prompting him to tell Claude to take it easy because he's saving him for Claudia. This leads to a Running Gag on the stream chat where the viewers keep requesting Joe to grab their neck, which eventually causes him to him making a written disclaimer that sounds very bizarre out of context.
    No choking on this stream.
    • Something to bear in mind with this is that Joe voices Claude, meaning that he somehow completely forgot recording the line that implies the Claude is into choking.
  • Throughout the playthrough, always asks to talk to the "CEO of Racism", and on any Youtube video that plays God Shattering Star, there's likely a comment pointing out, "There he is, Claude. The CEO of Racism."
  • He uses three different voices for tea time, fishing, and sauna, all of whom developed their own personalities as the streams went on—"Reginald" (a posh Englishman who swears violently when the wrong option is picked), "Cotton-Eye Doe" (an Appalachian with a hatred for blue fish who pronounces "Teutates" as "Too-taters"), and "Boris" (a deep-voiced Russian who calls for his wife Olga to increase the steam).
  • Joe has a button to bleep out his swears. Unfortunately for him, he hits the wrong button while having tea with Hilda, causing an uncensored f-word to sneak through. Nintendo's gonna have his head for that...
  • Also throughout his playthrough, he repeatedly says "Audible hopes you have enjoyed this presentation" after the chapter introductions. At the beginning of the Player Phase of the battle of Garreg Mach in Part 1, he snarks "This war is sponsored by Audible. Go to audible.com/garregmacheveryoneisdead to get your free trial".
  • He finds it hilarious that the legendary figures of Fódlan's past were named Nemesis, the Ten Elites, and Maurice; during Marianne's paralogue, he decides that the monsters they fight are called "Jerry", "Gary", "Larry", and "Harry" and makes up dialogue for them using a voice-deepening filter on his soundboard.
  • As he was the one who voiced Claude in the first place, Joe's aware of some of the route's plot twists surrounding him (namely his Almyran heritage), and tries in vain to play dumb whenever it's foreshadowed, which makes it a bad idea to watch the let's play if you haven't played through Verdant Wind yet.
  • Joe has a bad habit of getting Dorothea killed by sending her to the front lines with no one to tank for her. In one episode, he has Lysithea warp her right within range of an enemy Assassin at the very end of his turn thinking he'd attack Claude, which results in Dorothea dying immediately. Cue Joe sheepishly Divine Pulsing that Epic Fail.
    Let's see if we can't get her killed again.
  • In the final episode, Joe is absolutely ecstatic that the Gatekeeper finally has something to report.
    • The fact that he's wearing his Claude cosplay for the final episode is also worth a laugh.
  • Just in case the playthrough wasn't enough of an Archive Panic, he then started another run with the Black Eagles.
• Robbie Daymond, the voice of Hubert, teamed up with Billy Kametz, voice of (I am) Ferdinand von Aegir, to do a cover of Wicked's "For Good"... which is definitely NOT sung in character as Hubert and Ferdinand.
  • Note the emphasis on the word "Friend" at 2:53. But of course, "no one will take this out of context."
• Dimitri made it onto the top 10 of the Nintendo Dream Popularity Poll... where the other top 10 members are cutesy characters such as Kirby, Pikachu and Isabelle. So you have a giant, formerly feral bloodthirsty prince next to a pink puffball child, a yellow mouse, and a cheerful secretary dog.
• On August 28, 2021, Tara Platt, the voice of Edelgard, advertised on her Twitter that she, along with Joe Zieja (Claude) and Chris Hackney (Dimitri) would be signing Fire Emblem merchandise. It's accompanied by a gif of their timeskip versions dancing.
• Ben Lepley spoofed Dedue's infamous weed line by making a PSA warning people not to eat various seemingly-harmless foods.
