Zero Punctuation/Funny

"Yahtzee: It kind of takes me back to when I was fifteen and playing the original Tomb Raider and I'd back her up into a corner to get the best view of her juicy--thighs.
 * Wait until after the credits of the Guitar Hero: World Tour review to hear Yahtzee sing his "Deus Ex Song."
 * "20 minutes. Outside. Puffer fish."
 * "Okay, now I just have to figure out if that was a man or a woman..."
 * Also from his Witcher review: "You might say it's sexist to treat women like a baseball card collecting mini-game, so you can ogle their luscious rounded boobies and melt away between their smooth milky thighs as the sweat runs in rivulets from their writhing, sensuous body, but...sorry, I forgot where I was going with that."
 * THINK OF SOMETHING WHOLESOME INSTEAD
 * (Waffle about game physics)... "and now, to counteract the seriousness of that last sentence, Boingo Boingo Whoopsy Knickers".
 * After spending the whole Tomb Raider: Anniversary review trying to avoid referring to breasts, Yahtzee falls prey to the Freudian Slippery Slope, which culminates in a Hurricane of Euphemisms for boobies (See the header for Keep Abreast of This Index)
 * Before that, his musings on playing the original Tomb Raider as a kid:

(Caption reading "" pops up)"

""Innovation is to this franchise what a double cheeseburger would be to a lactose-intolerant Hindu!""
 * Also this bit from his Tomb Raider: Underworld review:

""If she did choose to settle down I have the perfect candidate for her husband...Jason Vorhees. They've got so much in common: they both have an embarrasing amount of adventures that all follow an extremely specific formula; they both have an irrisistable compulsion to murder God's creatures; they've both spent a lot of time underground; and most importantly neither of them will ever JUST FUCKING DIE!""
 * And the image of vampire Lara recoiling and hissing at the sight of the double cheeseburger.
 * Not to mention his hilarious matchmaking of Lara:

""On the whole though it's just not as good as tonguing another man's balls. [both figures stop playing and stare at the fourth wall] I mean... as it used to be. ] I'm not gay.""
 * Lara looking down at her hands in a "What kind of monster have I become?" way after shooting someone. Followed by her casually brushing off some dust and wearing the dead guy's brain on her head. "I'M MISTER BRAIN HAT!"
 * I had to go back and look again in the Manhunt review when he claims the game "only stands out in the area of juvenile gore", illustrated with a graph that asserts that Barbie Horse Riding has over twice as much hardcore violence as Resistance Fall of Man.
 * "I don't get why some people find fat people attractive, but then again most people don't get why I like to wrap my cock in lettuce and hide it in other people's salads."
 * "The Hero called "Link" on the few occasions I'm mature enough not to abuse the "Enter Name" feature, and "Fagballs" on all the others."
 * "Also sometimes I like to name him 'I Say' so that everyone sounds like Foghorn Leghorn."
 * In his review of Ocarina of Time 3DS, he names Link "Fuck me", leading to a moment where Navi says "Fuck me it's cold in here."
 * From the same review, when he says that the N64 "showed you more affection as a child than your parents ever did", and the graphic is a dad whipping a spider at a little kid hugging his N64.
 * From the Nie R review, "Before the game tells you his name it asks you if you can come up with a better one, and thus began the adventures of Twattycake, defender of the innocent."
 * Calling Clive Barker's Jericho: "Clive Barker's Clive Barker's Jericho by Clive Barker".
 * The Guitar Hero review being stuffed with Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?, before ending:

""Condemned: Bloodshot, by contrast, ends on a stupid scifi tower thing resembling something the Combine would throw together if they were all drunk, and a piss-easy final bossfight which you win by shouting at him so loud his brain explodes. I wish I was fucking kidding."
 * Even funnier when you realize that one of the two players is his own Author Avatar.
 * From Uncharted, there's a drawing of Nathan Drake juggling a torch, a chainsaw, and a baby. The next frame shows the baby and chainsaw on the floor, along with some blood, covered up by a black censor box that says "THE BABY IS FINE THE BABY IS OKAY."
 * "I didn't [find the voice acting] all that annoying, but my roommate said it was like having his ear canals raped by a man wearing a sandpaper condom. Not in those exact words, obviously."
 * His review of Condemned: Bloodshot has a few moments, particularly as he tries to pour in the Paranoia Fuel into your brain by telling you there is a serial killer living under you bed at this very moment, but "don't look or that'll really piss him off!" And his utter bemusement at the ending of the game:

""Go Team Retard!""
 * From Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, after describing Snake and Otacon's relationship: "That oozing sound you just heard was all the world's homoerotic fanfiction writers simultaneously emitting torrents of hot lady-spunk." At which point the screen reads "THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT."
 * The entirety of the Mailbag Showdown was one giant Take That at all the hate mail he received from him torching Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

""... I thought I'd better go undercover, drill holes into my head until I'm mentally twelve years old, and try out the new flippity gombo spletch.""
 * From his Lego Indiana Jones review:

"(summing up Warrior Within) "It just goes to show: never stick your dick in a pudding. It might still be good pudding and you can spend all afterrnon explaining that to people but no one's still going to eat it because YOU STUCK YOUR DICK IN IT!"
 * Alone in the Dark's "Terry vs Gonad" sequence.
 * Followed up by Wet's "Pillock vs Pillock's Boss" sequence.
 * "And for those of you not paying attention..." *claps* "OI!"
 * From Ninja Gaiden 2: "So the gore's been ramped up, and as always, hand-in-hand with Gore comes Titties, his lovely wife and business partner."
 * The Prince of Persia review's "Don't stick your dick in a pudding" metaphor.

""That probably isn't your name, but it was worth it to freak out all the Adrians in the world.""
 * From his review of Braid, on the lack of innovation in the games industry: "And do you know who I blame for all this? YOU! Yes, you, the public. Especially you, ADRIAN!"

""If you give them guns, they will shoot old ladies. If you give them cars, they will run over old ladies. If you give them aircraft, they will ascend to the highest possible height and hurl themselves out onto an old lady.""
 * "Will Wright created The Sims, a franchise which by shrewdly combining user-created assets, the powers of a malevolent trickster god and a massive amount of implied nudity, now annually makes about twice as much money as Belgium. So can his new game, Spore, possibly live up to that legacy? In short: No. In long: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...."
 * From S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky: "You couldn't release a buggy game during the cartridge and cassette days, you'd get sentenced to trampling under the company Brontosaurus. But I'll tell you the worst part worst part worst part worst part worst part *System error* And whistled for a baboon!"
 * Also, "Lying prone only lowers your eye level another inch or so, so your character is either extremely fat or uncomfortably well-endowed."
 * When he illustrates the difficulty settings with pictures of a kitten, a bigger kitten a tiger, and then for the hardest setting he shows a picture of fursuited guy. With all the former ones terrified!
 * Yahtzee on giving gamers too much freedom, coinciding with his belief that Humans Are Bastards

"...Yeah, it's pretty good. (cue credits, which get cut short after two slides) Alright, alright!"
 * "Pure, mindless fun, like wrestling an excitable dog in a paddling pool full of disembodied breasts. [beat] Don't think too much about that simile, I certainly didn't."
 * The beginning of the Fallout 3 review:

"Yahtzee's TV: By de way dem cunts be dead. Yahtzee's Author Avatar: YOU IS DE CUNT!"
 * From his Left 4 Dead review.

""...but the repetition is eased by the so-called AI Director, an omnipotent figure watching silently from the shadows who creates dramatic tension by conjuring health and ammo at the point when you need it and a billion zombies whenever he’s bored; which is all the time. ""
 * From the same review:

"It's like watching someone beat their fists against a wall and run off to hospital only to do it some more. And they used my medical insurance. And it's my wall."
 * During his Far Cry 2 review whenever he turns on the South African accent.
 * During the same review: "It brings to mind an animal rights activist freeing a captive bunny rabbit into the wild only for it to bewilderedly sit among daisies for several hours before a predator [the predator being Bear Grylls] comes along and bites its entire body off."
 * From his Little Big Planet review: "There's a very in-depth level designer built in, with a host of tutorials you'll be tempted to go through just to have Stephen Fry tonguing your coc....hleah for hours on end"
 * Topped during the middle of the video when he 'finishes' the review.
 * The "masterfully executed Link" from his Thief: The Dark Project review, with accompanying visual gag, was an almost painfully hilarious Lampshaded segue.
 * The Curse Cut Short in his 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand review.
 * Resident Evil 5:

"[About his hostage units on Escort Mission disappearing after the timer runs out] "We lost contact!" went the character... BULL. FUCKING. SHIT. (the words "WHAT. ARBITRARY. SILLINESS." appear in synchrony with his swearing). All possible threats were dead! We didn't lose contact - I was looking at them - They were RIGHT. FUCKING. THERE! They were so close we could communicate by wriggling our eyebrows at each other! What the fuck happened when the stupid arbitrary time limit ran out!? Did their Battle Royale collars explode!? Did they lose honor and disembowel themselves? WHAT?!"
 * The Stinger of the Halo Wars review.
 * And while we're talking about Halo Wars...

"As the exasperated Chinese zookeeper said to the last male panda in the world, FUCK. THAT!"
 * The entire rant at that point is undeniably hilarious.

""If you're new to this series, let me briefly summarize my feelings towards JRPGs: UUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEHHH RRRRAEEEEEEEUUUUUHHHH and every single one of them is about androgynous twelve-year-olds killing Satan.""
 * It becomes about a million times more funny when you realise that this is the first -- and, unless I'm mistaken, only -- time that Yahtzee has sounded seriously legitimately angry. Not jokey-acting anger, serious, honest to god "WHAT THE FUCK" anger. And it's beautiful.
 * During his H.A.W.X. review he illustrates the enemy PMC attacking Washington. Then the giant, bug-eyed Uncle Sam pops up behind them with a giant "OI!" beside him.
 * Also "I know that drama demands that the enemy actually be a plausible threat, but I still think it'd have been more credible if the enemy had been an army of disgruntled insect people from the Earth's core (five second pause)... WEARING SILLY HATS."
 * His summarized feelings for JRPGs in the Valkyria Chronicles review:

""The main character is Rubi, a tomboyish assassin who is about as likeable and sympathetic as a deep-sea angler fish in an SS uniform.""
 * While conducting his second annual overview of games previewed at E3: "Final Fantasy XIV! I feel that anything I could say would be repeating myself, so I'm just going to express my feelings with a strangled noise from the back of my throat: Aughhghhghghhghghhghghggh."
 * What's even better is that he continues doing that over the end credits music, even attempting to keep with the tune.
 * "Bayonetta! As in 'Hey, yo' betta not play this game-' OH, FUCK YOU!"
 * From Prototype: "I had to laugh at a moment when I was on a mission, plowing a tank through a crowded street, and over the agonized screams, Alex said: "Gawrsh, I sure hope this is the right thing to do!" It's like if Mr. Bean were a mass murderer."
 * "A sandbox is only as good as the method by which you get around it, and Cole has a tendency to get bogged down with climbing, while Alex can shoot blood out of his wrists at jet engine velocity and fly, like emo Peter Pan." ("THINK WHINY THOUGHTS")
 * From The Sims 3: "This may sound a bit hysterical, but The Sims 3 is probably the most evil game in the world." That line made this troper laugh harder than any other line.
 * The bit during the Silent Hill 2 review with the party blower coming out of Yahtzee's hat. And the look of shock coming from Yahtzee as a result.
 * Every time that happened in the Call of HWAREZ review was also hilarious.
 * "This may surprise you, but
 * The distraught level designer in the 2.5D Hoedown who follows him around crying with WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! taking up the entire top third of the screen.
 * Not to mention the subversion of X Meets Y at the end.
 * Your Mileage May Vary, but Yahtzee's terrible-Irish-accent half of the review of Tales of Monkey Island was painfully hilarious.
 * Chances are good that you may find it funny even if you are Irish.
 * This Irish troper can vouch for that.
 * "It's so obnoxiously safe and committee designed that any attempt to critique it in my normal manner would be equally as dull. ...so that why I've decided to review it in Limerick form".
 * From his Batman: Arkham Asylum review: "Press X to not die KICK ASS."
 * Also from the Arkham Asylum video, at 1:58 of the review, he shows Batman pouncing on and killing a mother cat - complete with mourning kittens.
 * "Another tool in Batman's arse...enal is the Detective Vision, I guess you can't call it 'Bat-Vision', then it'd be a black screen."
 * Scribblenauts "..But as I tapped the block to break it, it shifted slightly, and I clicked the background and fuck, it was like my character had been waiting all day for me to do do that. He flung his pick into the air and started jumping up and down like he wanted to be a cloud when he grew up."
 * "Scribblenauts comes to us from 5th Cell Media, a bunch of work-shy cheaters whose most notable previous title is Drawn to Life, a game so unfinished that the player had to do half the art design themselves [...] After Drawn to Life they wanted to prove they're not above drawing stuff themselves, so they drew every single object on Earth. Talk about overcomensating!"
 * There is one particular hilarious line from his Wet review.

""[After explaining why he does not give the award to Mario] -so instead I'm giving it to Michael Atkinson; a south-Australian Attorney-General who continues to ensure that half the games get banned or censored, and whose ancient, black, dried-up little heart still manfully strives to keep him alive in the face of the searing waves of hatred that are broadcast to him from all over the nation AND the world, every second of every day. Well done, you miserable old fuck""
 * The utter lampooning of terrible gaming ideas scattered throughout Wet's design through use of the game programmer "Pillock," who does everything to please the octopus in his brain.
 * "global wobal wobbity bits"
 * In his Bowser's Inside Story review, a dog randomly gets rocketed out of his DS.
 * Dragon Age Origins: "I'd like to see a Tolkienesque fantasy where the humans aren't the biggest pricks in the room. I mean, a lot of my friends are humans, and some of them are all right."
 * "HELLO, YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE."
 * From his holiday 2009 review:
 * The Awards for 2009 video's "The Everything-Proof Shield Award for Most Obstinate Refusal to Die";
 * The Awards for 2009 video's "The Everything-Proof Shield Award for Most Obstinate Refusal to Die";

"If I were War and I just hoisted a seven-foot demon into the air and chopped it in half with a single swing, I wouldn't stand there scowling. I'd go, "Fucking hell! Did anyone just see that!? I am squirting machismo out of my nipples over here! I am a monster truck that walks like a man!""
 * His Darksiders review, when complaining about Wangsty, testosterone-poisoned protagonists:

"Well bugger my bumblebee's breadbin! First weeks of Twenty-Ten are going to be fun, aren't they? Darksiders, Bayonetta, Dantes Inferno, and God of War III... God of War ripoff, God of War ripoff, God of War ripoff, and... Well, God of War."
 * The whole beginning of the review as well:

"I don't think that's (The game borrowing things from Zelda) the case, thought. To say Darksiders "borrows heavily" implies they did some work of their own. A better phrase would be "Completely Rips-Off with about much shame and emotion as the fucking Borg collective"! I appreciate that taking elements from a good game that work well and play around with menu scenarios isn't a bad way to design games, but when you have a boomerang that can hit multiple targets, a grappling hook that pulls you to climbable walls, and puzzle dungeon about deflecting beams of light with movable mirrors, we've moved from simple "homage" to the territory of "spraying a stolen car and re-selling it to the owner"! Thankfully the last dungeon introduces a gadget that has never been in a Zelda game: A gun that opens blue and orange portals! ... Outstanding."
 * And while we're at it, the part we're he reveals Darksiders shameless rip-off of The Legend of Zelda:

"Eat pills, avoid ghosts... only sometimes you can eat the ghosts as well if you-AUGH!"
 * "...The main character looks like someone sat down, started drawing him, and then never fucking stopped. [...] What War looks like is fucking coral reef on legs."
 * "Here are the combos you will need to know to master Darksiders: the Chump Chop ('Square'), the Double Chump Chop ('Square'+'Square'), and the Whipped Cream Genocide Brouhaha ('Square'+'Square'+'Square')."
 * His mental breakdowns over the utterly complex plots of Bayonetta and, get this, Pac-Man.

""Anyway, Solid Snake is tasked with the assassination of his evil clone brother, who is dead, but lives on through his posessed arm, which was grafted onto the body of OH CHRIST I CAN'T GO ON THIS SHIT IS BANANAS" ([Image of a turd] = [Image of a banana] )"
 * Also for the genuinely batshit plot of the Metal Gear Solid series:

""Fortunately, being English, and therefore utterly repulsed by the slightest sexual urge of myself and everyone around me, I am immune from any callous attempt to touch my heart via my wrinkly undercarriage, and Bayonetta looks about as sexy to me as a pencil stuck through a couple of grapes.""
 * Speaking of Bayonetta, his British 'immunity' to her.

""Hello Commander Shepard, wave-hand, I heard you might show up today, nod-head, how 'bout those freaky aliens, eh?, shake-fist, grr-grr, slightly racist undercurrent" Shepard's response: (Paragon) You should learn some manners. (Renegade) RAAR! SHEPARD SMASH!!!"
 * The 'Inspiration-o-meter' from his Dark Void video.
 * Dark Void is "a game that ran out of something. Maybe it was money, or time, or will, or employees, or maybe a giant monster frog demolished their studio while battling Godzilla."
 * "Dark Void started off pretty rocky, but between the rocks I caught a glimpse of something beautiful with cleavage that could hold up a fucking Christmas tree. But once I'd caught up with it and we'd started making out, all its teeth fell into my mouth and gave me scurvy."
 * Borderlands: "Interface 101: the less clicks the better" (Shoots a dolphin)
 * On Mass Effect 2's resource harvesting: "Which is as interesting as it sounds, and it sounds like this: BWUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH..."
 * The description of "the BioWare face" problem has to be seen:

""So what's the point of having two different experience levels?" you ask. "Well, it's like my right hand on a Sunday night," I say. "Why's that?" you ask. "IT BEATS THE FUCK OUT OF ME!""
 * From his latest review of Dantes Inferno:

""Aliens vs. Predator is one of those concepts you're probably not supposed to think too much about, especially not the title. Surely they're both aliens, and come to think of it they're both predators, too. Perhaps a more explanatory title is necessary, like Big Dribbly Black Thing That Likes Eating Lance Henriksen and Has a Head That Makes You Wonder About What Sort of Relationship H. R. Giger Had With His Father vs. Big Clicky Invisible Thing with a Crab for a Face That Always Seems to End Up Getting Beaten Up By Big Stupid Lads Wearing Dirty Pants.""
 * "Grr, your selfless compassion fills me with murder frenzy!" and his comments about how playing as a Big Daddy in Bioshock 2 is a bit like "making a sequel to Half Life where you get to play as a gun turret." Complete with a diagram of the controls.
 * Could be more Hilarious in Hindsight, seeing as one of the characters in Portal 2's co-operative mode will be a robot adapted from a turret.
 * "Instead of playing Pipe Dream for half-an-hour at every turn, you do a psuedo-quicktime event for a few seconds instead, and apparently the universe is about to explode, because the quicktime events have actually improved the game."
 * In his first Bioshock review, a line about boiling water apparently being able to form allegences in the game is acommpanied by a jar of water on a bunsen burner screaming "FUCK THE POPE!"
 * The opening of his review of Aliens vs. Predator:

""Aliens take over facility, Marines get sent in to take care of it the same way that bits of bread get sent into ponds to take care of the ducks. And there's inevitably some stupid, evil business/military guy who wants to harness the Aliens, and the more times this happens the more evil and stupid they get: 'Okay, so the last 60 evil, stupid guys who tried to control the Aliens all got their brains spread on cream crackers and served as canapes at the Alien hoedown, but I think their problem was just not being evil and stupid enough'""
 * Also, his description of the Alien formula:

"It plays like a hack'n'slasher that was designed by a pilchard. (Picture shows a exasperated pilchard at a computer saying FUCK YES)."
 * Concerning combat against Aliens while controlling a Predator:

""In case you never played the first game here's a Dead To Rights Recap: BANG PUNCH BANG PUNCH BANG PUNCH WOOF!""
 * Battlefield: Bad Company 2: He actually mentions Haggard's Truck-o-saurus Rex from the first game in it.
 * His description of the game also warrents a mention "Modern Warfare Modern Warfare click click jabber jabber hello bang dead"
 * Courtesy of Final Fantasy XIII:
 * "As a highly respected and successful game critic—SHUT UP, I AM!"
 * QUACK
 * "So, presumably, he's the character most of the audience are meant to project onto."
 * "Some might say that's enough. Some might say I'm too hard to please. But some can shut their fucking mouths." Accompanied by the heckling Imps being chased by a tiger.
 * In the same (surprisingly positive) review, he portrays main character Rico as a fearsome wizard with almighty control of physics. He might not be too far off the mark.
 * The critique of Splinter Cell's Idiot Plot and how the villains are Too Dumb to Live.
 * Silent Hill: Shuttered Mammaries Shattered Memories gives you a psychological analysis based on your playing choices [caption: YOU'RE A PRICK] and told Yatzee he was "fastidiously clean and tidy" (besides the rubbish piling up in the kitchen), "family-oriented" (living on the other side of the world from them and never writing) and "possibly crap in bed". "[Beat] ...moving on..."
 * "And some of the characters wear different clothes. I don't find that red dress particularly intimidating, but - oh fuck, a pink dress, shit's gettin' real!"
 * His description of the blue-tinted Dark World resembling "the night God drank his Slurpee too fast" accompanied by an image of God clutching his head in agony and screaming "FUCK" had this troper in stitches.
 * From his review of Dead to Rights: Retribution:

""Let's just hope it doesn't end up Dead To Rights: Retarded. That would be Dead To Rights: Regrettable.""
 * Also from the Dead To Rights: Review.

""You slap around the enemy enough and he'll get disoriented. Press a button and both he and Jack you'll get transported to a little pocket dimension where pain is God, and Jack Slate is pope!""
 * About the takedowns:

""I even have a good name for a sequel. Dead to Rights: Really. Really, really... Really. Really, really, really... Really... Dumb.""
 * And the conclusion:

""But I guess calling it "Hunter/Gatherer of Innocent Young Dinosaurs Pathetically Mewling Their Last as the Memory of Their Mother's Warmth Drifts Away to Be Replaced by the Unforgiving Coldness of"... oh fuck it, let's just call it: "You Bastard".""
 * The proper title for Monster Hunter Tri:

"First of all, I'd like to return momentarily to the subject of Mario Galaxy 2. I have to say I've really been given cause to reconsider my position on that game, thanks to the arguments of correspondent Chris E., whose eloquent email deserves to be reprinted in full:"
 * Alan Wake has a side-quest where you collect pages of manuscript about the story you're currently playing. Alan picks up one which reads "Then Alan was savaged by the biggest and most sexually frustrated bear that has ever lived." The bear then appears behind him with a big censor bar on its crotch.
 * From the Red Dead Redemption review: " Sometimes NPCs will get caught in weird quantum singularities, and flicker in and out of a parallel universe where men have merged with horses. Sometimes John's walk animation fails, and he glides merrily around like he's on rocket skates. At one point his love of country got the better of him, and I had to reboot, to stop him humping a mountain."
 * The visuals depicting Alpha Protocol's "incomprehensible miasma" of a plot.
 * During the Super Mario Galaxy 2 review, he tells viewers to "pour yourself a bottle of wine, click on [his review for the original Super Mario Galaxy] and watch that while I sit here and slap myself.". And then the screen goes black for a minute while slapping sounds are heard. When the image returns, his avatar has bruises on his face.
 * Related to his review of Super Mario Galaxy 2, he (unsurprisingly) recieved Hate Dumb mail. One in particular got a charactaristic sarcastic snark Take That reply from Yahtzee in one Extra Punctuation;

""Dear Yahtzee,"

"You are a faggot. You suck the penis of over 100 different species of animal. You enjoy being raped up the bum by old, hairy men. Your dick is smaller than an average 12 year old's. All you do is say stupid things on teh internet for a living. You have a fetish for grandmas. Go and fuck yourself. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the best.""

"What a debater. He should take it up full time. That way we could legitimately describe him as a mass-debater."

"You are a greasy Italian spaz standing on a platform unsupported in the yawning void of space. What now? >DIE OF ASPHYXIATION You can't do that (somehow). What now? >JUMP You jump, emitting a hearty vocalization like a flamboyant homosexual being goosed while breathing helium. >AGAIN"
 * While it felt like a jab at Nintendo and Mario as a whole, most of the review was still very funny but this part sticks out where a hypothetical Toad says, "Didn't this exact same happen not however long ago? Say did anyone remember to press charges on Bowser, put him in prison or something, what exactly was stopping him turning around and pulling the same **** the moment Mario and the princess were distracted with each others 'cakes'. See people this is why we need to introduce a CONSTITUTIONAL monarchy! Wark-wark!" The visuals help.
 * The text adventure bit.

""Oh look, physics! I can throw chairs about like a removal man who's completely stopped giving a shit. Doors suddenly blowing open in the wind? Yawn-o-rama! I guess I'll just look around upstairs and then might as well play Halo: Reach for a bit. Nope, nothing much up here either, I'll just go back and - whoa, what was that thing I just glimpsed running down a hallway? I don't know, but it looked cross about something, so I think I'll go down this other hallway instead. Oh, it's blocked. Guess I'll turn around an- WHERE DID YOU COME FROM!? Augh runrunrunrunrun I'm sorry I didn't mean to mess up your chairs- OH PISSING BLIMEY THERE'S JAM COMING OUT OF THE WALLS!""
 * In the review for Crackdown 2, when talking about the online multiplayer, he says, "Joining random online games is like walking into an aviary full of nitrous oxide and trying to play scrabble with the kookaburras while they stand around having sex with your mum."
 * Split Second: Velocity:
 * About driving games in general: "I like them, but I'm terrible at them. It's the exact opposite of the problem I have with fellatio."
 * Driving in real life: "I doubt things would be easier to get around if I was six feet wide and constantly farting carbon monoxide. I don't know how your mum does it."
 * The early proto-man, working on the wheel and threatened by woolly mammoths; "Yes, life was tough in Thatcher's Britain."
 * From his Metroid: Other M review: "...Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Volleyball, or, as it's sometimes known, BOING!"
 * Also from that review, his hilariously accurate impersonation of Samus' monotone voice and overly flowerly way of speaking.
 * And his suggestion that they get Brian Blessed to voice Samus.
 * On a more meta note: "On a educated guess, though, the evil guy was probably the one with the evil mustache" becomes much funnier when said character is the most likely one to be The Mole.
 * His description of his thought process during his first scary moment in Amnesia the Dark Descent:

""The very first image in the game is a brief flash-forward depicting your helmet lying discarded in the dust of battle-scarred terrain. What the fuck do you think happens in the end? Your character gets thrillingly and climactically gets a little bit hot?""
 * Also, "Abloogy-woogy-woo."
 * He closes it out by calling it a good constipation aid.
 * CATCH THE FUCKING EGG!
 * "This might sound a bit weird, but 'hoerdy goerdy bobbley boo.'"
 * From Halo: Reach:

""...wondering if one could improve every Castlevania game by replacing Dracula with the Count from Sesame Street, though probably not Symphony of the Night because you'd have to rename Alucard "Teerts Emases Morf Tnuoc Eht""
 * Yahtzee's opening rant about Halo's lack of seat belts.
 * From his review of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow:

""ONE miserable little secret! TWO miserable little secrets! A PILE of miserable little secrets! Ah-ha-ha-ha!""
 * The joke comes back again in the credits, reading:

"So while Journey to the West was about an arrogant monkey king who is forced to learn discipline by escorting a Buddhist monk on a pilgrimage, Enslaved is about a bloke slapping robots in the dick. But his name is Monkey, so that's alright then."
 * From the Enslaved: Odyssey To The West review:

"Woke up in a doctor's office with some guy telling me I've been shot in the head and may have suffered brain damage, but I've learned not to trust the opinion of giant, mustachioed spider-people; so I made my excuses and left."
 * The entirety of the New Vegas RP.

""Go there! Keep running! Take cover! Not there, you're getting shot! There, shoot that guy! Not him, he's on your side! Can't you tell? He's wearing a slightly different hat! Quick, pick up that grenade and throw it back! I don't know, over there somewhere! Oh, there, see? If you'd thrown it sooner that wouldn't have happened, you stupid cunt.""
 * His impression of Call of Duty: Black Ops's frenzied pacing.

""Isn't being an adult great? You can go on all the fairground rides, drink yourself to death, and stick your dick in all kinds of magical things! Sometimes I like going to hospitals for terminally ill children and just rubbing it in.""
 * "Why is my character putting broken glass into the mouth of that helpless prisoner? I don't think he'd find that very tasty--OH BUGGER MY BREECHES that was uncalled for!"
 * "Another opportunity for the Call of Duty franchise to wave military hardware in our faces and go PHWOAR!"
 * The beginning and end of the review feature several countries personified as people, including America, Russia, China, the UK and Switzerland. Axis Powers Hetalia references in the comments section were unavoidable.
 * On the iPhone game Fruit Ninja: "You're a ninja, fruit is flying in front of you and fuck fruit. Sitting around all smug, on trees and in pies."
 * Early in his iPhone games review, he laments that "so much of triple-A gaming these days is endless sequels, ripoffs and wank". The accompanying visuals give an example of a sequel (Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days), a ripoff (Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days) and some wank (Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days).
 * Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood: "I don't want play the same game over and over, I get enough dull repetition in my sex life." Caption: "It's always the bloody nipple clamps with you, isn't it".
 * "Assassin's Creed: Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood"
 * His entire rant on adulthood in the Splatterhouse review.

""Step onto your first-place podium, then put a rope around your neck so we can kick it away.""
 * The Epic Mickey review. At the beginning he goes into this Heroic BSOD about park mascots trying to sexually abuse him.
 * "And why do you think every other console controller has two analog sticks, Mr. Wii? Do you think it's just for symmetry? Or because they look a little bit like nipples? No! It's because in third-person games, the camera is like the working class: If you can't control it, it will plot to destroy you!" All combined with a picture of a camera stabbing Yahtzee in the eye shouting, "Death to the Aristos!"
 * Interestingly, yes, originally the Dual Shock did have two sticks just for symmetry, thought he's referring to the current generation's controllers so the joke still stands.
 * After awarding his Worst Game of the Year award to Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days:

""So in the name of keeping things nice and clear for you touchy sods, let me as unambiguous as possible in this critique. Mind Jack is Fucking. Fucking. Fucking. Fucking. Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Play it.""
 * The Flat What of the Fable III review. Funniest Flat What EVER!
 * "Oh, goody! Now I can go back inside and keep playing Minecraft!"
 * The Brisbane floods, where "the sandbag fairy had visited all the good little shops", and the visual puns that follow.
 * "With Fisher-Price Shoggoths scratching at the walls, I decided the sensible, level-headed thing to do was to tunnel down into the centre of the Earth".
 * "Ohh, shit. When did I become my dad?"
 * "Why did it get so dark all of a sudden? What's that rustling sound? Why are my intestines over there now?"
 * "Christ, it's like Zelda meets There Will Be Blood!" (with picture of Link being chased by Daniel Plainview wielding a bowling pin)
 * "One: Do not rely on fire to clear away your forests unless you want your gameworld to look like the Vietnam War."
 * "But as I was trying to think of something to do with all these rocks, I noticed a nearby mountain, and thought 'You know what that's crying out for? A Skull Fortress! With flaming towers and eyes that weep lava (because he's depressed by all the kamikaze shrubs).'"
 * Creepers: "It's like their only reason to live is to ruin other people's artwork. There but for the grace of God go I, suicide hedge!" Illustration: Yahtzee running at Fable III with explosives strapped to his body.
 * His entire rant about the appeal of building anything with his example being a golden giant cock and balls.
 * From A Shadows Tale: "...this is the permanent mental state of most adult male nerds in any situation more sociable than jerking off with a hand-puppet. The Ur Example of this subgenre, as in 'Er, what are you doing with that hand-puppet?' would be Ico, also known as I. C. O. if you're WRONG!"
 * Dead Space 2 ramps up the poignancy of the slaughter by initially setting it in children's classrooms full of "blood-stained crayon drawings reading 'I love Mummy and being alive'."
 * "It's set in space, the best setting besides the land of chocolate lesbians."
 * "...that's the game Wet and the game Wolverine, not a game about a wet wolverine, NO SUCH THING EXISTS!"
 * DC Universe Online: His overly long analogy about how reading comics are like bowel movements. Just go look at it.
 * From the Mind Jack review, after commenting on how some viewers didn't know whether Yahtzee was recommending a game or not.

""I did check, and it is extremely possible to make a Mii who has what looks like a cock for a face. It's equally possible to name him 'Senor Koquonfaes' (pronounced "Cock-on-face") and make him your street pass ambassador who greets every 3DS owner in the vicinity with the phrase 'I'M WATCHING YOU' in block capitals. Then all you have to do is walk past the primary school and listen for the losses of innocence.""
 * Killzone 3: "So, fuck modern technology right in its cutting edge! Oww!"
 * Localisation delays for Kirbys Epic Yarn: "You'd almost think Nintendo were concerned that a game about a fat, pink retard, voraciously overconsuming, wouldn't go down well in the West."
 * "One of the many things I have in common with Captain Picard is..."
 * Summing up Dragon Age II as "not so much 'a hero's journey' as 'a hero piddles around for a while gobbing off his handsome friend.'"
 * From his review of the Nintendo 3DS:

""I refuse to believe that no one at Ubisoft QA put their hand up at any point and said: 'Hey, isn't the sky supposed to be behind the sea?'""
 * Discussing the console's version of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and its "slapdash 3Difying":

"Well, that was a good career I almost had there."
 * The 3DSes of Yahtzee and his friend's don't recognize each other, making him assume that the other 3DS "just didn't want to associate with riffraff" because it had more Streetpass hits than his. Complete with the friend's 3DS turning its nose at Yahtzee's while wearing a top hat and holding a cane.
 * Yahtzee's "What the hell is wrong with me?" moment when he reacts with joy at seeing a gathering of children in a park so that he could leave little deposits in their pockets and butt bags.
 * COME ON IN! HANG UP YOUR COATS! TAKE A SEAT! No, not that seat, that's my seat. I'm going to sit in it and gloat over you. (So what about Nintendogs eh?)
 * The Credits Gag at the end of his Portal 2 review, set up at the start with "Early on in the series of increasing lucky breaks I'd hesitate to call a career..."

""Portal 1 was a big delicious jam doughnut with cream on top, and Portal 2 is a big Cornish pasty with chocolate in one half and shepard's pie in the other, and- LOOK AT ME DANCING AROUND THE ISSUE. DANCEY, DANCEY, LA-DI-DAH""
 * Yahtzee's history with the original Portal makes him a little hesitant to release a definitive statement on the sequel's quality. The result is almost two minutes of increasingly convoluted metaphors, until:

"Once I tried to seduce a girl by putting a Drink Me label around my knob, but she did something horrible with a cocktail umbrella..."
 * The icing on the- ...French Fancy!
 * His description of the enemy variety in Symphony of the Night: "Utterly nutterly butterly."
 * Commenting that the X-ray attacks in Mortal Kombat indicate your character had a skeleton for a stepfather and they have some issues to work out. Said skeleton wears a hat, smokes a pipe, and asks "when is your useless son going to get a job".
 * From this Extra Punctuation: "Brink, besides being what a racist caricature of an Oriental person would say is their favorite Doctor Who episode, is also a disappointing game."
 * From Alice: Madness Returns:
 * "And then Alice promised never to tell her parents."
 * The second mid-credit stinger.

""The music's done by Akira Yamaoka- WHO? "The guy who did the music for Silent Hill." WHAT'S THAT? (frustrated) "A series with really good music." OH."
 * "What I'm saying is that I don't see Alice: Madness Returns making Mad Returns, neh heh nyehh..."
 * While talking about the development team for Shadows of the Damned, Yahtzee has a brief dialogue with the audience, whose words are accompanied by a slide whistle:

""... how Vamp in Metal Gear Solid 2 was implied to be banging Fortune, but only because Vamp was implied to be banging absolutely fucking everyone, including you as you read this. Try to hold still.""
 * Also, "Suda, bless his heart, has always had what you might call a long-distance relationship with normalcy." Accompanied by a representation of Suda running around in the background, holding a giant rubber duck over his head and screaming.
 * "Oh there you are, Suda, you randy old bastard!"
 * This line comes at the culmination of the saga of "Big Boner". To say anything more is to spoil it.
 * "Attention, hardcore gamers. Stop chewing on that piece of wood and listen."
 * "[God Hand] was another game that sailed out of Port Sensible on the HMS Quirky."
 * "There is no Middle Finger big enough!", a line in his Call Of Juarez: The Cartel review that I can only hope becomes immortalized.
 * Also, "But before Guatemala can start getting worried, the US government sets up a special task force to take down the cartel, a coalition of FBI, DEA, LAPD... uh... BBC, TCPID, LOL..."
 * His description of the three main characters as getting along "like three Borgias in a hessian sack".
 * Catherine brought us these gems:
 * "...Catherine, a Japanese game centrally about the difficulties of relationships, such as unexpected pregnancy, the impetus of commitment, and being chased up an infinite staircase by a giant, monstrous girlfriend trying to eat you with her butt. Did I mention it's Japanese?
 * (Increasingly amused)"... there's a moral choice aspect where you answer questions based on your own substantial experience with relationships *stifled laughter* "
 * The part in the video where the main character chooses Qatherine (an imp with a bow) over Catherine or Kathrine (the two choices in the game).
 * Having asked if the two similar names will be confusing in dialogue, there's a scene that assigns the wrong personality to each K/Catherine. "I knew this would get confusing!"
 * "...like men are all direction-less tidal waves and women are all dykes build in the way of their raging flood."
 * "Blimey, what a badly worded metaphor."
 * "Wait, what was I supposed to be fixing again? OOH LOOK A PUPPY!"
 * From EP "Why No Couples In Games":

""Wanna hear something crazy? Titty fuck Labrador swimming up the nile. Wanna hear something crazy but also coherent? Julia Roberts was once hospitalized for swallowing an entire vole. Wanna hear something crazy but also coherent and true? Driver San Francisco may well end up in my top five of the year!"
 * His description of the final boss in Deus Ex Human Revolution as "the kind of nightmare Philip K. Dick might have while being spooned by H. R. Giger", and the Running Gag of whipping vending machines at NPCs.
 * The beginning of his Driver: San Fransisco review:

""Um...Sony, are you alright?""
 * "SERVE AND PROTECT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN."
 * "He's in pursuit of a crimelord who's out to steal Christmas from the orphans, or something. It's not important."
 * "Yes, it kind of is so fucking goofy that Disney would file a restraining order, but..."
 * The sarcastic, white-bread hero saying "I guess I'm well-bread" and the well-written NPC saying "Looks like I'm bread for success."
 * From the Dead Island review:
 * "So, here's a sneak peak to the soundtrack to a lot of Dead Island: 'GRR!' 'KICK!' 'GRR!' 'KICK!' 'GRR!' 'KICK!' 'SPLAT!'"
 * The Yahtzee sprite finding out he's on "Bread Island" in the stinger.
 * "Honestly, at this point you people just won't be able to cope if civilization ends any other way, will you? If the fucking Daleks invade or the entire world gets covered in carnivorous jam, you'll have to make papier-mâché zombie facsimiles just to get through the day."
 * And his image for the Daleks is toilet plungers strapped to two trash cans.
 * "You'll spend a lot of time standing over a pile of dead bodies frantically doing the can-can until they stop moving."
 * "So, to conclude my arguments..."
 * His surprise that Resistance 3 isn't a cover-based FPS, lets you carry more than two weapons and doesn't have regenerating health. He sounds genuinely taken aback.

"So here we go, another bloody brown shooter for the current age with two weapon slots, cover mechanics, and regenerating health...wait, what are these glowing green things lying around everywhere? Medkits, you call them? What an intriguing novelty! Yes, Resistance 3 does not have regenerating health! Holy bum nuggets, I'm having to desperately seek aid under fire while hopping around on my last remaining limb and things are actually tense and exciting! Oh, but it's small comfort if I can't carry ten weapons at onc - I can carry ten weapons at once. Huh. And there's a Freeze Ray and a lightning rod and something I like to call the Jimi Hendrix Experience because it makes people puke themselves to death."
 * The part leading up to it was no slouch either:

""Waaaait a minute...the scientist has a BEARD! What did you do with the rest of the body, Insomniac?""
 * His over-the-top analysis which causes him to believe they ripped off Half Life 2, in a parodic tone, obviously.

""and look: Insomniac Games, if you rearrange the letters, lose some of them and add a few more, you get WE WANT TO BE VALVE""
 * Another one from that review:

""Pope Urban VIII probably thought he was very clever when he condemned Galileo, but who got the last laugh there? Well he did, when Galileo died in poverty and dishonour so what I'm basically saying is that I'm like the Pope.""
 * Yahtzee explains why he bought a Kinect:

"Yahtzee!Drake: I want enough money to buy a concubine for every square inch of my cock. Yahtzee: A whole three concubines, Drake?"
 * In the review of Batman: Arkham City, Bruce Wayne is depicted with the words "Not Batman" written on his chest.
 * In Uncharted 3, Yahtzee begging for Drake to kill an American or an Australian in a possible Uncharted 4.
 * Drake is shown walking along a cobble street into an English pub (entitled "The Cock and Balls"), and, as Yahtzee describes it, "with a fucking red phone box out front!" (cue red phone box and an arrow with the words pointing to it)
 * Yahtzee thinks that Drake would be more admirable if he just admitted he was in it for the gold.

""...enacting gun battles in collapsing buildings, sinking ships, dangling out the back of a plane, and on the surface of a flaming meteorite that's speeding towards a lion.""
 * The assumption that Drake and Elena keep splitting up in games because they have little in common. Drake apparently enjoys watching Time Team and going to blackface minstrel shows.
 * Noting how the enemies in the game all choose to fight Drake in extremely dangerous situations:

""Now, I've never invaded Europe, except for that one time, but I would think that's a project you might want to stagger out a bit if you haven't forged an alliance with any galactic empires lately.""
 * His reaction to the plot of Modern Warfare 3 when Russia somehow invades all of Europe at once:

""You suck a guy's cock. "BING!~ LINK I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT YOU ARE SUCKING A MAN'S COCK! THERE IS A 70% CHANCE THAT YOU SHOULD NOW CRADLE HIS BALLS!"""
 * The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: "Well fuck you, Ulfric Stormcloak, I don't have to help you wash your hairy bagpipes, I can breathe radioactive lasers!"
 * "Like this one undead lad who hit like a runaway ice cream van but who seemed to forget all about me whenever I left the room, so I ended up taking potshots from the door like the world's worst Jehovah's Witness."
 * "Oh yes, and take my advice: get a horse. The horses in Skyrim just do not give a fuck. If there's anything in a half-mile radius that means you harm your horse will not rest until it has been powdered."
 * " Oooh, look at Sir Allen Sugar over there, he's too rich and important to adventure properly. Would you like to skip to the ending cutscene because you have to go and buy a new aeru-plane before the shop's shut?"
 * On Saints Row the Third:
 * Yahtzee laments the lack of a socks option for customizable clothing. "So I can no longer wear fishnets under a sensible business suit and role-play as a Conservative MP."
 * The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword
 * "But if the surface world is supposed to be so completely covered in clouds that you and your Ivory-Tower friends aren't even sure it exists, then why, when you're exploring the surface world, is it always a bright sunny day? I FOUND A PLOT HOLE! NUUURSE!
 * A rare one from his Extra Punctuation continuation(usually devoid of jokes, due to the points not having enough comedic potential), where he notes one point where he is trying to escape a pirate ship, when the resident Exposition Fairy interrupts the game to tell you that a monster is attacking a ship. Yahtzee laughs hysterically, throughly convinced that the game isn't happening in real life anymore.
 * Anytime he mentions the Exposition Fairy during the actual review.

""I find that 'I will die of an indistinct infection if I don't remain physically close to preteen girls' rarely goes down well in court""
 * "As always, the game starts with Link oversleeping. I have a theory that Link is like Sherlock Holmes and can only function as a human being if he's either on an adventure or enough cocaine to floor a sumo wrestler."
 * For his Top/Bottom 5 of 2011, the intro descriptions of the rankings accompanied by appropriate sound effects are funny enough, but the crowners are 3rd worst: "Shitting the bed while your girlfriend is over" followed immediately by 2nd best: "Shitting the bed while your girlfriend is over and discovering she's into that".
 * Comparing the worst game of the year to "."
 * "Oh, happy new year, by the way."
 * The top/bottom of 2010, however, had such counters as "Jumping off a rainbow onto someone you hate" (second best) "Weedkiller Martini" (third worst) and "Mistaking a deep fat fryer for an eyewash station" (second worst).
 * In "Super Mario 3D Land/Rayman Origins", He liked Rayman Origins, but didn't like Super Mario 3D Land, causing Yahtzee's criticism to eventually devolve into "Aaah..." and "Grrr!", respectively (ending in a series of them: "Aaah... Grrr! Aaah... Grrr!").
 * From Sonic Generations:
 * "And it would probably get you thrown out of a restaurant"
 * "But lest you accuse the game of putting them in for fan service - although I'd hate to think what kind of fan was baying for a return appearance of fucking Charmy the Bee."
 * From Star Wars: The Old Republic:
 * "So this is why they call him Han Solo!"
 * Addendum to the AMY review:

""Aww, I'm sorry the monster-infested post-apocalyptic death city wasn't providing quite enough stimulation for you, sweetheart. I know where there's never a dull moment: my fucking S-bend!""
 * Amy in general is one of his better recent reviews. Like Halo Wars which was mentioned before, he really dislikes this one, and truly shitty games seems to bring out the best in him.

""You know what I hate? YOU NOT BEING IN THIS FUCKING SACK RIGHT NOW!""
 * "I mean, Alex from Silent Hill: Homecoming rolling around the city streets like Sonic the fucking Hedgehog was just dumb!"
 * "Mass Effect brought us a race of all-female bisexuals who are culturally obliged to bang anything that moves, and you wonder why I prefer Sci-Fi these days."
 * The sack analogies in NeverDead. And then the third developer pops out of a pillow fort.

""This week on Zero Punctuation, Yahtzee compares Sim City to Nazi Germany."
 * The episode descriptions can be this at times.
 * Arguably, Yahtzee's at his best when he can come up with a hypothetical scenario that literalizes a sarcastic remark, as in the above "right hand on a Sunday night" and "last male panda." Another one: "As the disbelieving friend said to the inventor of the feces-powered helicopter, "THIS SHIT WON'T FLY!". Most recently, "As the operator of a coin operated artillery cannon might sarcastically yell to a retreating army, you should never be afraid of change"."

""So everything will be fine until a wasp gets in the room, and then your character will promptly throw all their grenades away and pummel a chair! ""
 * The prediction about what Microsoft's Kinect might turn out like:

""It's supposed to be for stealthy no kill runs, but it just makes enemies run around screaming for five minutes before falling over, and that's not very tranquil. That's like inventing an antidepressant that makes people believe there's free money inside their wrists.""
 * From Deus Ex:
 * About the tranquilizer gun:

""You're listening to Black Mesa Research Facility Internal Broadcasting Friday Morning Drive Time Fun Slot, playing the hits while you play God!""
 * His Prototype 2 video. Five words: FUCK AROUNDY MAKEY SUPER MURDER
 * "Possibly Liverpool?"
 * The entire epilogue video for Risen 2: Dark Waters, as a DJ to Black Mesa.

"Yahtzee's Avatar: YOU STRIPEY FUCK [gets dragged away by an imp]"
 * "To Security Officer Calhoun outside Sector 7-G: Stop banging on the door, we know you're out there, we just don't like you."
 * From the review proper: "If you have Dark Waters, you should probably go see a doctor about that."
 * Sniper Elite V2:
 * "It would be nice if you could tag enemies while looking at through the sniper scope, instead of hurriedly switching between scope and binoculars like a badger-watcher with anger-management issues..."


 * He realizes that he has nobody's word on the chain of events but the protagonists... and proceeds to go wild.
 * Mercenaries 2 has "Forgiveness, however, isn't one of my strong points..."
