Let's Play Sonic 2006: Difference between revisions

* [[Aerith and Bob]]: pokecapn, [[Kung Fu Jesus (Let's Play)|Kung Fu Jesus]], IlluminatusVespucci, [[Medibot]]..... and John Condit. (Subverted when his Something Awful username is revealed to be No Time for Socks.)

* [[Angrish]]: '''"MURDER!"'''

** Inverted when [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pap4MndXDI&t=23m30s they finish the billiard ball puzzle]. Basically, a joy so great that it cannot be expressed in words; rather, it is done in a combination of a scream and an orgasm.

** Another beautiful instance is the first run of the Radical Train stage's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXqQQ18jkt4#t=10m53s Mach Speed section]. After suffering through a ruthless timed chase beforehand, pokecapn finally loses his grip on his composure and his grasp of the English language. A special mention goes out to the strangled scream of pure undiluted frustration when pokecapn loses his final life and is forced to start the stage over once again.

'''Goons:''' ...''What?!'' }}

** Invoked beautifully in the third attempt at Radical Train's Mach Speed section, almost right off the bat.

** Also in episode 16, the second time they fail the ball puzzle, even going so far as to chant a circus theme as they go.

** The stupid room in Dusty Desert, Shadow's story. pokecapn pretty much just loses it.

* [[Berserk Button]]: The entire game, for both groups of players. Particularly End of the World and Sonic's Radical Train for pokecapn.

* [[Big No]]: Lampshaded:

'''pokecapn''': He seems to disagree.<br />

'''medibot''': Why you gotta be such a negative Nancy, [[Running Gag|Rockman Charcoal]]? }}

* [[Brick Joke]]: "Hit the bell!"

* [[Captain Obvious]]: Every time it happens, the goons crack up with hysterics (except when Silver pointed out that his stages and bosses take too long), and sometimes shout [[Captain Obvious]] statements of their own, includng "[[Fate/stay night|People die when they're killed!]]" and "When people run, they move faster!"

'''Kung-Fu Jesus:''' ''([[Deadpan Snarker|deadpan]])'' Oh, is that all? }}

* [[Call Back]]: Kung-Fu Jesus makes a lot of references to ''[[God Hand]]'', which he previously did a Let's Play of.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "''PHYSICS!''", mainly in Silver's story.

** Later parodied:

** medibot's "JUNK!" and "CUNTWAGGLE!"

** pokecapn has a tendency to say "WHY?" when something goes pear-shaped. In this case, that means most of the game.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: medibot, who admittedly may just be like that in general. Mainly through his insistence that [[Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory|each and every little thing in the game has some deep metaphorical and societal meaning.]] Ironically, {{spoiler|he ends up the most sane out of all the goons.}} It also didn't hurt that he actually did get a full eight hours sleep, where the rest only got five.

** Lampshaded about halfway through. Kung-Fu Jesus calls medibot on the phone to see if he's up for more Sonic '06, and worries he might be... ''affected'':

'''pokecapn''': As he always does? }}

** Kung-Fu Jesus doesn't get off the hook either, as he attempts to articulate several extended metaphors (one comparing Sonic 2006 to [[Harry Potter]] in a weird way) that not even Pokecapn and the others get, despite knowing medibot.

* [[The Cuckoolander Was Right]]: medibot tends to articulate ''precisely'' what makes the game so infuriating.

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: A lot. Poor pokecapn.

** There's at least [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JhnUnfYqKs#t=23m25s one instance] of a literal cluster F-bomb.

* [[Elmuh Fudd Syndwome]]: Medibot.

* [[Engineered Public Confession]]: Narrowly averted, when they call out for Chinese.

* [[Even Evil Has Standards|Even Sonic Nuts Have Standards]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EMQEm1nV1s#t=18m7s pokecapn's reaction] to the Game Informer review.

* [[Five-Man Band]]:

* [[Go Mad From the Revelation]]: They manage to hold on to their sanity for most of Sonic's section of the game... And then they get to the 3 trials. About 19 minutes into the video, {{spoiler|Sonic is killed by bending lasers that come out of nowhere.}} The goons react to this by {{spoiler|[[Nightmare Fuel|chanting insane lyrics in synchronicity.]] ''"[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/412418 It's a LASER!]"''}} After this, [[It Got Worse|insanity kicks in]].

* [[Heh, Heh, You Said "X"]]: Parodied.

"Ha ha! You said 'access'!" }}

* [[Hope Spot]]: The goons enter the home stretch of the game, titled Last Episode, after struggling to beat the last boss of Silver's story (see [[That One Boss]]). They have a hearty laugh at the game's ridiculous cutscenes (and particularly Eggman's emerald scouter glasses) and seem to be in renewed spirit. Then they spend two hours struggling through [[That One Level|End of the World]], crossing the [[Despair Event Horizon]] in the process.

* [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy]]: Invoked at one point when [[Kung Fu Jesus]] was explaining why pokecapn didn't have to worry about getting hit by enemies.

* [[Interspecies Romance]]: The implications of this prompted them to issue a challenge to create the worst Sonic fanart ever:

** Even funnier if you remember the second challenge they issued:

* [[If You Die, I Call Your Stuff]]: Medibot wants Elise's stuff very close to the end.

** He seems fond of this trope, and uses it in the earlier videos too.

*** Not to mention a part of that music was used in Crisis City. Which the goons didn't take note of until they played the remake of the level in their LP of ''[[Sonic Generations]]''.

* [[Large Ham]]: While pokecapn is mainly angry at the game and IlluminatusVespucci remains the voice of reason, Kung-Fu Jesus and medibot deliver this trope in spades.

'''Kung-Fu Jesus:''' Course plotted into her ''[[That Came Out Wrong|penis]]!''<br />

'''medibot:''' Falcon ''CROTCH!'' }}

** One viddler user decided to count them all. There were ''539'', or one loading screen every two minutes and fifteen seconds of footage.

* [[Madness Mantra]]: At the very end, Medibot begins chanting "JUNK!" over and over, usually at a stupidly-caused death.

'''medibot:''' No, I said '''JUNK'''. }}

* [[Malevolent Architecture]]: In Kingdom Valley, while the goons were on the stairs of a tower, the stairs fall without warning, causing Sonic's death in an [[I Wanna Be the Guy]] like fashion.

* [[Oh Crap]]: "We only have one life... and we didn't save."

** Twelve minutes later...

* [[Only Sane Man]]: {{spoiler|medibot}}. Well, only man with a some shreds of sanity by the end of the LP.

** It's not so much a case of "most sane" as it is "least affected," really.

* [[Parrot Exposition]]: In keeping up with the Shadow/Solid Snake [[Running Gag]], the goons will have Shadow mimic Snake's habit of repeating the last words of the person he's speaking to.

* [[Perfectly Cromulent Word]]: Several coined by medibot over the course of the LP.

'''Kung-Fu Jesus:''' Oh, yeah. "Chuffleguff" means "[[Game Breaking Bug|Game Breaking Bugs]]." The game breaking in the other way, you know, the bad way. }}

* [[The Power of Friendship]]: The final level is only defeated once various members of the group determine their individual strengths and start passing the controller around from section to section. It's enough to make the viewer believe in ''[[Sonic Heroes|the real super power of teamwork]]''!

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: medibot delivers a few during the course of the game (including a [[Cluster F-Bomb]] during [[That One Level|Silver's billiard ball puzzle.]]) It's a little jarring considering how calm and sane he was compared to the other goons.

'''Ill-Ves''': [[Flat What|Cuntwaggle?]]<br />

'''Medibot''': You ''fucking'' heard me! ''Cuntwaggle''! }}

** [[Loads and Loads of Loading|State transitions]].

** KFJ always asking about the blue "stun boxes", only to be shot down by pokecapn.

'''pokecapn''': Don't know, don't care. }}

** "Tech", said repeatedly, pronounced as "tetch".

** medibot's love for birch beer.

* [[San Dimas Time]]:

'''IlluminatusVespucci''': People never seem to realize this when they have time machines. }}

* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Over the course of the whole playthrough (medibot: "[[Hentai|Who...in their right mind]][[Gag Sub|...would frost a]] ''[[Gag Sub|cake]]''[[Gag Sub|...with their ]]''[[Gag Sub|butt?]]''"), but emphasized extremely well in the five videos detailing their attempts to get through [[That One Level|End of the World]], which are named after the [[Five Stages of Grief]]: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. {{spoiler|It eventually gets to the point where Kung-Fu Jesus starts reciting song lyrics in monotone, and when they finally, ''finally'' complete the level, they all burst into song.}}

** [http://tindeck.com/listen/bvjb Junk]

* [[That Makes Me Feel Angry]]: Quoted by KFJ at one point, in a [[Shout-Out]] to the [[Futurama|Trope Namer]].

* [[Take Up My Sword|Take Up My Controller]]: In the few times when Pokecapn absolutely ''refuses'' to continue playing the game (namely during Sonic's Radical Train stage and the End Of The World), the supporting Goons pick up the controller (despite having not nearly as much playtime as Pokecapn in either case) and attempt to beat the level while he cools down, with IlluminatusVespucci outright refusing to stop until the game is completed at End Of The World.

* [[Tempting Fate]]: In three different levels in Sonic's story, Sonic or Tails warns the player about falling into lava/water/bottomless pits. All three times, the goons manage to fall off within ''seconds''.

* [[Ten-Minute Retirement]]: {{spoiler|"I'm done. I'm done. I can't play a game ''this'' fundamentally broken. This is completely done."}}

* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]

'''Kung-Fu Jesus''': It's Satan, you bitch! }}

* [[Title Drop]]: "The End of the World" section of the pokecapn LP is titled after the chorus from ''Rocket Man'' by Elton John, which Kung-Fu Jesus starts to [[Nightmare Fuel|chant]] ''[[Nightmare Fuel|à la]]'' [[Nightmare Fuel|William Shatner at the 1978 Science Fiction Awards as they near utter oblivion.]]

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: The goons make a point of ordering General Tso's Chicken, as it will make them "full of ideas". {{spoiler|Kung-Fu Jesus ends up not liking the chicken.}}

** Let this be a lesson to you -- if you would like ideas, make sure you get a varied diet of ideas-rich foods.

** In the first Sonic mission, he literally rolls a d20 for Sonic's [[Dungeons and Dragons|Gather Information check]].

** medibot takes over for pokecapn during the mach speed section of Sonic's Radical Train stage. The line below is the first thing he says.

* [[X Meets Y]]: The whole [[Let's Play]] is reminiscent of a [[I Wanna Be the Guy]] or [[Kaizo Mario World]] run put under a Sonic filter.
