[[Persona 4 Endurance Run (Let's Play)/Funny|Endurance Run: Persona 4]]

== Endurance Run: Deadly Premonition ==

* Both teams dying to the exact same enemy in the exact same places for the exact same reasons. Yes, it happens more than once.
*  {{spoiler|Thomas' death}}:
** The teams have different reactions. Jeff and Vinny respond with maniacal laughter while Brad and Ryan respond with initial shock then admiration.
{{quote|  '''Ryan''': "Bravo, SWERY. Bra-fucking-vo."}}

Team VJ:
* While looking at their toolbox:
{{quote| '''Jeff & Vinny''': "Panda Bear?"<br />
'''Jeff''': "What." }}
* In retaliation for his attempted murder, the Mysterious Capitalist backs into Jeff & Vinny's car. 
* Their reaction to York's character is awesome too, he's the gift that keeps on giving.
* Vinny and Jeff spy on Thomas while he's at home.
{{quote|  '''Jeff''': "Work it."}}

Team BR:
* Brad's increasingly profanity ridden declarations of his hatred of the game, and Ryan's utter delight in his suffering.
** To the point where he tells his critics to GTFO.
* Ryan singing to the racing theme.
* Brad and Ryan doing X-Factor during the lounge bar sequence.
{{quote|  '''Brad''' (with a fake Cockney accent): "That was complete utter shit!"}}
* Brad and Ryan freaking out on seeing a giant demonic dog bashing around their car.
{{quote|  '''Ryan''': "Man, Greenvale gets weird at ni-THERE IS A GIANT DOG IN THAT INTERSECTION!"}}
* Brad and Ryan encounter fire in the Other World Galaxy of Terror.
{{quote|  '''Brad''': It's all on fire! Everything's on fire!}}
* Directly after that, Brad and Ryan discover, to their dismay, that the fire does nothing to the zombies. Keep in mind that, up to this point, the fire was a guaranteed insta-kill.
{{quote| '''Ryan and Brad (at the same time)''': OH GOD!<br />
'''Brad''': That is not fair!<br />
'''Ryan''': *laughs* Since when can they do that?<br />
'''Brad''': I am calling foul on that.<br />
'''Ryan''': I call shenanigans. Jerk-ass, just hoppin' over the fire. }}
* Brad and Ryan's reaction to a room full of fire and zombies in the Other World Police Station:
{{quote| '''Ryan''': Uh-oh.<br />
(Zombies start running through the fire towards York)<br />
'''Ryan''': OH GOD! JESUS CHRIST!<br />
'''Brad''': WHAT IS GOING ON?!<br />
'''Ryan''': *starts laughing* <br />
'''Brad''': Oh god...<br />
'''Ryan''': That was awesome. I mean, it wasn't awesome but it was awesome.<br />
'''Brad''': I'm not sure... what that was... oh Jesus... }}
*  {{spoiler|Thomas's profiling scene}}
{{quote|  "I brought some Nat King Cole!"}}

== Quick Looks ==

* The [[Dragon Ball Evolution]] game is [[So Bad It's Good]], complete with moving character portraits fighting... ''the character portraits''
* The [[New Super Mario Bros]] Wii is one CMoF after another. From Vinny's constant deaths to Brad's ever increasing determination to take revenge on Ryan, this Quick Look is almost an hour of hilarity.
* [[The Price Is Right]] for the Wii is another long string of CMoFs. Dave's indignation at the cost of the flat screen TV and Jeff talking about cooking meth in his "Brand New Trailer" are some of the highlights.
* ''[[Dead or Alive]]: Paradise'' and ''[[Leisure Suit Larry]]: Box Office Bust'' are two terribly juvenile--and just plain terrible--games, made almost worthwhile by hearing Jeff and Ryan's utter revulsion at having to play them.
* In their Quick Look of ''[[Darkest of Days]]'', the frequent bugs, the boring scenery and overall spottiness of the game literally reduces them to saying "So Yeah! ''Darkest Of Days!''" several times, in a matter reminiscent of a certain [[MST3K]] [[Manos the Hands of Fate|featured movie]]. Presumably that's the reason why said game didn't even get a review.
* Ryan was so disgusted by the phrase "What the Foxtrot is going on here?" in the Jurassic: The Hunted Quick Look that he got up and left. Brad had to fill in for the rest of the QL.
* During the playthrough of the [[Uncharted|Uncharted 2]] multiplayer beta, Ryan manages to get his character stuck in the level geometry, leading to horrified screams and cries of "Put me out of my misery! [[Teleporter Accident|The teleporter didn't work!]]" And then they decide to end the Quick Look by becoming [[Griefer|griefers]]. "You're the reason [[Why We Can't Have Nice Things|why we can't have nice things]]!"
* [http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-motion-sports/17-3469/ Motion Sports]. [http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/8990/1621356-ryan_meet_horse_super.jpg Oh, please. Alright, Let me reintroduce you two: Rider meet horse, horse meet rider.]
** This gets referenced twice in the quick look of [http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-motionsports-adrenaline/17-5310/ Motion Sports Adrenaline]:
{{quote| '''Ryan''': Those motions kinda remind me of, I dunno, riding a horse.<br />
'''Jeff''': ...No announcer, you'll notice... I like to think in some weird way that's your fault. }}
* Kinect Adventures and the [http://www.giantbomb.com/the-living-statues-of-kinect-adventures/17-3459/ Living Statues.]
{{quote| "OH GOD I'M AN ABOMINATION!"<br />
"MURDER MEEEE AAAAARGGHHHHH" }}
* The [[Hollywood Squares]] Quick Look, with the guys fantasizing about various game ideas involving murdering [[Everybody Loves Raymond|Brad Garrett]].
* In the Shaun White Skateboarding QL, we have Jeff's reaction to the PC using his magical skating powers to turn a propaganda poster from the 1984-ish government into a ''[[Product Placement|Stride Gum billboard]]:''
{{quote| '''Jeff''': Oh my God. The billboard went from saying "No Chewing Allowed" and then you freed it from the ''shackles'' of [[The Man]] and turned it into an advertisement for Stride gum. This game is already the ''worst thing I've ever seen!''}}
* The ''Tony Hawk: Shred'' QL: As the gang runs out of things to say about this crappy game, {{spoiler|Vinny}} shows us all sorts of antics you can get up to when you combine a green screen with {{spoiler|a green body suit}}.
** With an honorable mention to {{spoiler|Vinnie's head-on-the-board: "'''''PLAY ME!'''''"}}
* Multimedia Celebrity Poker: "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m7jjJDYDME Turn the video quality back up! Turn the video quality back up!]"
** Strangely enough, they seem to have ''completely missed'' [http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-throwback-multimedia-celebrity-poker/17-3586/ Frakes flipping out around 17:40]. The aforementioned scene and this [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?|really makes you wonder...]]
** Morgan Fairchild's endless "Cards?" loop.
* [http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-the-fight-lights-out/17-3515/ Quick Look: The Fight: Lights Out]: their reactions to the entire tutorial sequence starring [[Danny Trejo]] giving an intense performance as a tough as nails trainer...while holding and gesturing with the colorful Move controllers and yelling at you not to move your feet otherwise you'll break the game.
* Vinny's avatar in [[DC Universe Online]], full-stop.
{{quote| Finally, Superman and B4tm4n side by side.}}
** "[[Uncanny Valley|Dlerp dlerp dlerp dlerp]]"
* The ''[[Test Drive]] Unlimited 2'' Quick Look has Vinnie, Brad and Alex [[MS Ting]] the game's non racing related elements such as the superfluous first person navigation inside buildings ("How do I go to iron sights?"), the ridiculous cutscenes and the painfully awkward rationalization for the player receiving money for doing tricks; making the player avatar look like a gay bar fugitive with nothing more than the ''two starting outfits'' and their desperate attempts to start a multiplayer race ("[[Stalker With a Crush|I WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEEEEEEEEEEND!]]")
* [http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-game-room-for-122210/17-3634/ Quick Look: Game Room for 12/22/10]. ''Venetian Blinds''.
* The [http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-cargo-the-quest-for-gravity/17-4065/ Quick Look of Cargo: The Quest for Gravity]. There are no words.
* The [http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-duke-nukem-forever/17-4385/ Duke Nukem Forever Quick Look], in which Jeff expresses his utter disgust at the game's sense of humor.
* The Deadliest Warrior: Legends Quick Look. "Come now, we can be frieeeeeeeeeends!"
* [[Fallout New Vegas]] (Old World Blues DLC): Mistaking the K9000 Cyberdog Gun, which is the gun with the brain of a dog, for [[I Thought It Meant|a gun that actually shoots dogs]].
* In the [http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-tetris-axis/17-4976/ Tetris Axis quick look], Vinny was lying down with a giant AR card to help demonstrate a mode that projected a giant tower from the card. He decides to place it in an, um, [[Gag Penis|(un)flattering position]]. 
{{quote| If your Tetris lasts longer than six hours..." }}
* In the Hulk Hogan's Main Event for Kinect Quick Look, Jeff's created character KID MONEY from PARTS UNKNOWN enters the ring by jumping on to the hood of a truck and screaming, "I'M GONNA MAKE SWEET LOVE TO 'EM . . . FROM THE BACK!!"
* During the [[The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim|Skyrim]] QL, they're running from a pair of giants when a sabre cat gets in the way. A giant smashes it and it [[A Twinkle in The Sky|goes flying off in the distance]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTgUm8VEWiU See it here].
* The Self Defense Training for Kinect QL has their reactions to the [[Hurricane of Euphemisms]] for [[Groin Attack]] ("Genital Triangle" in particular) as well as the announcer's incredibly clinical demeanor while discussing the subject:
{{quote| '''Announcer''': ''[completely deadpan]'' Deliver a kick to the genitals.}}
* Family Feud 2012 Edition. One word: HORSEBACK
{{quote| '''Ryan''': Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait...}}
* The start of the [http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-medieval-moves-deadmunds-quest/17-5275/ Quick Look for Medieval Moves: Deadmund's Quest] has them parodying a Sony press conference. Vinny provides some absolutely golden lines here. 
{{quote| "The puppet man on the right holds his Move controller up. Now he's gonna put it down and Ryan does the same thing. Now he touches his penis with it and he does the same thing." <br />
"This is a 1:1 loading screen. ''(pause)'' It loads in real time" *cracks up*  }}
* The ''[[Binary Domain]]'' QL has Jeff struggling with the voice recognition tests. Then he discovers that (in theory) the game actually recognizes [[Cluster F-Bomb|swearing]]...

== Bombcast, Thursday Night Throwdown, and free Happy Hours ==
* Ryan abandoning the rest of the invited players on the Red Dead Redemption TNT to find and eventually fight a bear with only a knife. He won.
* The 2010 E3 Day 3 Bombcast was shot to levels of epicness by guest Leigh Alexander and her sassy drunken interruptions. People are divided as to whether it was so bad it's good or so bad it's horrible but none can deny how funny it was when she announced the recent Activision party cast $775 million dollars straight out of the organisers' own pocket.
** The Sims gang sign (a diamond over the head) being flashed by the guys every time she went on for too long. <>
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGC4NRYs-Oc event] during a Bombcast that led to [http://www.batmanbatmanbatman.com/ this website.]
** And the callback to that Bombcast while talking about [[Skylanders]]:
{{quote| Jeff: I got Dark Spyro, Legendary Spyro, Spyro-Ass Spyro...<br />
Drew: Spyrospyrospyro.com. }}
* During the [http://www.justin.tv/a/giantbomb/b/267900695 Bad Company 2] Throwdown, "inspired" by the games inclusion of the term "Epic Fail" for suicides Jeff, Ryan, Vinny and intern Matt go off on a united rant against the current generation of net speak. For the win, indeed.
* POW block, anyone?
* Jeff's reading of the Nintendo downloadable releases. Highlights include anything read in his (one) foreign accent and singing the description for Petz Dogz Family.
** Special guest [http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=FBGupEFsbuM Jeff Green reading the week's DSiWare releases], in particular ''myNotebook Carbon'' and ''JUST SING! National Anthems''.
* The whole Big Live Live Show Live. Special mention to the Tested boys who, after a slow start, stole the show with their "As seen on TV" product tests and John Drake for his (near)tireless and enthusiastic work promoting Rock Band 3 and Dance Central.
** The After Party stream also gave us Drunk Will and Rorie, Dave's sister and side-scrolling Ana.
* Jeff Gerstmann's answer to a Email question about being taken camping with one's dad:
{{quote|  '''Jeff''': "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}DM6vjN3WkDM Stick a shotgun into an ant hill and pull the trigger.]"}}
* Ryan, Jeff and Brad [http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=94XxuNj1H80 trying some Swedish candy] given to them by the guys at now-defunct developer GRIN. On the same note, Jeff's visceral reaction to some hockey powder on the [http://www.giantbomb.com/podcast/?podcast_id=72 03/23/09 podcast] (starts at about 32:00 in) featuring GRIN is priceless.
* Jeff joking about [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6mc5G_lg5M "crap nap"] during a discussion regarding possible terms for being able to beat a previously impossible section of a game after taking a break.
* The [http://www.giantbomb.com/whiskey-media-happy-hour-120310/17-3564/ first free Whiskey Media Happy Hour] has quite a few of these (and severely tempts people to go ahead and become premium members to enjoy the entire backlog of them). Among them is Dave Snider playing [[Gran Turismo|Gran Turismo 5]] while getting more and more drunk... for science.
* Jeff and Ryan playing [[Cooking Mama|Babysitting Mama]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMEg6mfTfF4 "No, no, no! Please don't shake the baby!"]
* The Nintendownload Xpress. Pretty much all of it, particularly [http://blog.jeffgerstmann.net/2011/02/nintendownload-x-press-02072011/ Rick 'The Ricker' Peterson], the [http://blog.jeffgerstmann.net/2011/01/nintendownload-x-press-01242011/ Bombcast Hijack] and the [http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/no2ndx/ dueling] [http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/ndx4ever/ petitions], which the Xpress won, incidentally.
* The Bombcast imitating rap station Hot 97 while selling [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaO5gwyVcsg Zojirushi products.]
** Also with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4M5RJm0XEQ&feature=related rap mix.]
* The [http://media.giantbomb.com/podcast/giantbombcast-061411.mp3 6/14/2011] Bombcast, long story short: Jeff Gerstmann does a very good Duke Nukem.
* Ryan's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsXfUsIRq4o&feature=related reaction] to Buckner and Garcia's song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22e9fTHuCnk "Found Me The Bomb"].
* Ryan flipping out at [[Name's the Same|Will Smith]] for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cinw63ulsSg pronouncing "executable" as "exzecutable".] 
* [http://www.justin.tv/giantbomb/b/311753835 During Jeff's very official announcement of Giantbomb's sale to CBS:]
{{quote| Dave: Jeff I need to interrupt you. We are talking to a lamp.<br />
Jeff: No we're talking to the world. The world is just beyond the lamp with the webcam on it.<br />
Patrick (from offscreen): I don't believe you.<br />
Ryan (Also offscreen): There's a world beyond the lamp!<br />
Jeff: Get over and look at this and-<br />
Patrick: LAAAAAMMMPPP!<br />
Jeff: -see the world as the lamp.<br />
Ryan: HAIL LAMP!<br />
Jeff (In full deadpan): Alright lamp here's the story. }}
