Line 2: [[File:AssistMeLogo_8124.jpg\|frame]] A [[Web Original\|Youtube series]] written and directed by Maximilian Christiansen. Based on the fighting game ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3 ~~(Video Game)~~\|Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds]]'', ''Assist Me!'' is built around helpful character tutorials designed for the intermediate-to-advanced player looking for strategies and tips. These tutorial segments are interspersed with live-action skits, starring [[The Danza\|"Max"]] and featuring a host of guest actors as the grab bag of demihumans, supervillains and all-purpose malcontents on the MvC3 roster. Max is joined in every episode by his roommates, the ineffable genius (or so he'd have you believe) [[Doctor Doom\|Victor Von Doom]] and highly adorable sun goddess [[Okami\|Amaterasu]]. Together, Max and Doom air-combo, X-Factor, and wavedash their way towards mastering the game before [[Galactus]] makes good on his threat to annihilate the world. Though Doom mostly complains and gobbles yogurt. {{spoiler\|[[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass\|Mostly.]]}} All episodes so far are available at Max's Youtube account, [http://www.youtube.com/user/Miles923 Miles923]. The show is currently{{when}} having some [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwQ52bzuAls production troubles], but is still airing while looking for options. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== This series provides examples for: ===~~ * [[Actor Allusion]]: [[Deadpool]] tells Wesker he look familiar. Also Max mistakes a Zombie for X-23 in the Chris episode. * [[Acting for Two]]: Mike Young plays Deadpool, Albert Wesker and Rocket Raccoon (voice and puppeteer). He also does behind-the-scenes work with script writing and costume design. ** Max plays [[The Danza\|himself]] and {{spoiler\|Ghost Rider}}. * [[Adaptation Decay]]: Parodied in-universe when Phoenix is over: they watch her embarrassing final scenes in [[X -Men: ~~the~~The Last Stand ~~(Film)~~\|X3]]. As Doom laughs, Max humbles him by rolling the [[Fantastic Four (~~Film~~film)\|Fantastic Four movie]]. {{spoiler\|Then Doom counters with a Nicolas Cage montage. Checkmate, Max.}} * [[A God Am I]]: Wesker. Need I say more? * [[The Alcoholic]]: Wesker downs a whole bottle of vodka as a way of forgetting his troubles. ** [[Alcohol -Induced Idiocy]]: Sometimes this has consequences. [[Funny Moments\|Like shooting himself in the leg with his Samurai Edge, for example.]] {{quote\| '''Wesker''': [[That's Gotta Hurt\|That's gonna leave a mark...]]}} * [[All Men Are Perverts]]: Or at least, all men in the film crew are perverts. * [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: In-Universe. Imagine [[Homestar Runner ~~(Web Animation)~~\|Strong Bad]] changed his interest from answering emails to Marvel vs Capcom 3 and [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic ~~(Animation)~~\|ponies]], and replaced his boxing gloves with Finger Lasers. That's basically this version of Doom. He also has next-to-no knowledge of most of the Marvel characters. * [[Back From the Dead]]: Wesker, twice. Once after {{spoiler\|Doom uses his level 3 hyper on him during their fight}}, and again when {{spoiler\|he relives the ending to Resident Evil 5. Complete with missle to the face.}} [[Unexplained Recovery\|It's never mentioned how he survived these events]], but [[Rule of Funny]] applies. * [[Badass Adorable]]: Amaterasu, Shinto Sun Goddes and Mother of Creation, is a Pomeranian. Line 29: * [[Celebrity Resemblance]]: Max is compared to [[Nicolas Cage]] and [[Nickelback\|Chad Kroeger]] on several occasions. Sometimes, it has consequences... * [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]: Doom's "human-sized blender" Hyper Combo. And transporting someone into the TV - wearing a [[Resident Evil\|S.T.A.R.S.]] uniform - to get eviscerated by Nemesis. * [[Deal ~~With~~with the Devil]]: Doom makes a deal with Dormammu to get an early copy of Ultimate. Unfortunately, {{spoiler\|he pays him with Bison dollars which causes Dormammu to wipe Strider's mind clean in retaliation.}} * [[Did Not Do the Research]]: In Vergil's Assist Me, Max refers to Vergil as Dante's half-brother (they are actually twins). * [[Dirty Mind Reading]]: According to Phoenix, Doom's inner most desire is to [[All Men Are Perverts\|see her and X-23 naked.]] * [[Double Entendre]]: "You tried to show X-23 your 'Hidden Missile'?" * [[~~Everythings~~Everything's Deader ~~With~~with Zombies]]: A continuing subplot of the skits, which culminates in the two-part Chris Redfield episode. The natural consequence of keeping people like [[Resident Evil\|Wesker and Jill]] around, really. * [[Framing Device]]: The entirety of the comedy series is one for Maximilian's character tutorials, which have their roots in his previous series "Marvel vs. Capcom 3: The Online Warrior". The deal is simple: either master the game, or Galactus destroys the Earth. With the expansion of episodes to two or even three parts, though, the storytelling device has begun to outstrip the gameplay for more of a straight [[Dramedy]] feel. * [[Funny Animal]]: Rocket Raccoon, who appears as a foul-mouthed puppet. Given what he's like in the comics, [[Shown Their Work\|that's not too far off]]. * [[Go -Karting ~~With~~with Bowser]]: The entire series. Everyone who's ''in'' Marvel vs. Capcom seems to know vaguely how to play it; characters will often break off impending duels to listen to Max talk about cross-ups. * [[Hammerspace]]: Doom's hood can hold an improbable amount of video games and bottles of alcohol. Even Doom gets confused. * [[Hand Blast]]: Doom's '''FINGER LASERS'''. Threatened at every opportunity. * [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Doom and Strider, as they were in Marvel Vs. Capcom 2. Just watch Doom's reaction when Strider enters the house. {{quote\| '''Doom''': [[Say My Name\|STRIIIIIIIDEEEEEEERRRR!!!!!]]}} * [[Hilarious Outtakes]]: Comes some time after each episode. They generally tend to be funnier than the episode itself. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7MUgWHZOf0 See] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0pfC1UgHug&feature=relmfu for] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAC_wrdiZGo&feature=relmfu yourself.] ** '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFrmnFGcZyM ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNODOG]''' Line 50: * [[Only Sane Man]]: Max plays this role to most of the supporting cast, with the exception of Ammy. * [[Painful Transformation]]: Judging by all the screaming and writhing, turning into {{spoiler\|Ghost Rider}} wasn't a pleasant affair. {{quote\| '''Max (whose face is bright red)''': I can't feel my face.}} * [[Pet the Dog]]: While X-23 is quite hot-blooded and not above threatening Max and Doom with her claws, she's one of the few characters who can pet Ammy without getting murdered. * [[Psychotic Smirk]]: Max {{spoiler\|when breaking Wesker's jaw with an arcade stick.}} Line 59: * [[The Thing That Would Not Leave]]: Doom in the first Season. By Ultimate Assist Me Doom is officially Max's roomate. * [[The Rival]]: Wesker (played by Michael Young) and Doom torment each other in every appearance. * [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Dr. Doom himself; while he really ''ought'' to be a big name, given that he owns a country and represents a constant threat to world peace, he mostly comes off as a posturing blowhard with no social life outside Max's apartment. * [[Say My Name]]: In the Chris Redfield episode. {{quote\| '''Chris''': WESKER! ~~<br />~~ '''Wesker''': CHRIS! ~~<br />~~ '''Doom''': [[Skyward Scream\|RICHARDS!!!]]~~<br~~ /> (Beat)~~<br~~ /> '''Doom''': Sorry, [[Third Person Person\|Doom]] got caught up in the moment. }} * [[Sir Not -Appearing in -In-This -Trailer\|Sir Not Appearing In This Webseries]]: Max has stated that Dante has the least likely possibility of appearing (despite being one of the most requested characters) due to issues stemming from Dante's very large moveset and finding the right actor to play Dante. * [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: Doom hates Reed Richards and was once charged for putting a flaming bag of dog poop on the Richard's front doorstep. Don't forget about the time Doom called him just to laugh about the Human Torch's death. Line 72: As mentioned above, portraying Rocket Raccoon as foul-mouthed and a bit of a jerk, which is not too far from his comic incarnation. * [[Skewed Priorities]]: Max funnily enough {{quote\| {{spoiler\|'''Jill'''}}: Victor, Max, we have to focus. Wesker's planning on blowing away the entire West Coast with Oroboros.~~<br />~~ '''Max''': The entire West Coast? Some of the best Street Fighter players are on the west cost. My favorite Arcade is on the West Coast! {Beat} And my house. }} * [[Stunned Silence]]: Max and Doom's reaction to {{spoiler\|Doom's simple bread and butter combo doing 1,264,600 damage on level 1 X-factor.}} * [[Talking Animal]]: Rocket Raccoon, as in MvC3. Ammy (played by Max's Pomeranian wearing a cardboard prop) is usually the silent sort, but pipes up on occasion. Her barks are subtitled in English. * [[Talking to ~~Yourself~~Himself]]: Mike Young as both Wesker and Rocket Raccoon in the [[Christmas Episode\|Holiday Special.]] ** Again, Mike Young as both Wesker and Deadpool in "Assist Me Deadpool". * [[The Chew Toy]]: Wesker takes an inordinate amount of punishment in this series - most likely because [[Good Thing You Can Heal\|he can take it]], and because he's got [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]. Line 82: * [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: "Doom loves Yogurt". * [[Transparent Closet]]: Chris Redfield and his fellow S.T.A.R.S. agents. * [[When All You Have Is a Hammer\|When All You Have Are The Finger Lasers]]: Apparently this is the only thing Doom is capable of doing under extreme pressure. As such, he will use it to fight anything. Including [[What an Idiot!\|fires]]. * [[Your Mom]]: Dr. Doom uses one against Vergil, much to his offense. {{quote\| '''Vergil''': My mother is dead! Disfigured half-wit...}} }} {{reflist}} [[Category:Web Video]] [[Category:~~Assist Me~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
