The Adventures of Duane and BrandO: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''I don't usually like rap, but this is AWESOME!''}}

 

 

Their trope-worthiness, and general notoriety, comes from their [[Fan Vid|music videos using in-game footage]], with these two videos in particular being most well-known:

 

PS: For now, let's keep all three bands together. It makes things a little easier.

{{tropelist}}

* [[Action 52]]: Arguably the finest lyrical interpretation of Cheetahmen II created by man or machine.

** [[Lampshade Hanging]]:

* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Well, actually, they did. Despite some lines ([[Castlevania|Simon Belmont]] armed with a ''stake''?) it's clear they've played the games they rap about and are just taking artistic liberties. In fact, during the ''[[Mega Man 2]]'' rap, they talk about Proto Man and Rush, despite them both appearing in ''Mega Man 3'', and in one scene, they're playing the game, and have apparently superimposed the Rush Jet over Item 2, just to follow the song. ''That's'' dedication. <ref>However, "Saw Blade the Mecha Dragon"? Way to give us advice for [[That One Boss]] that ''[[Rule of Funny|doesn't work!]]''</ref>

** Duane's ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' is a better example. That game took place in Sarasaland, NOT the Mushroom Kingdom.

** Brand0 ends Zelda II with the line "We're brother and sister in the next game, right?" He actually remains convinced that Link's uncle meant to say "Zelda is your sister", in A Link to the Past, despite both retcons and the original Japanese that came before it declaring otherwise, simply because that's how he grew up hearing it. He explains his belief in a [[Freeze-Frame Bonus]] at the end of the Zelda II video.

*** [[Continuity Nod]] That is mentioned in the Zelda 3 song <ref>Episode 2, to be exact</ref> when Zelda says "Link I think there's a chance we might be--" but Link interrupts with "DESTINED? It's true, so just accept it!" which uses information from both the original and the [[Updated Rerelease|GBA remake.]]

* [[Domestic Abuse]]: Played for laughs a few times.

'''Roll''': "Need my help?"<br />

'''Mega Man''': "Nawww. / [[Stay in the Kitchen|Get back in the kitchen]], / shit is under control / It's a man's world, baby / don't be flashin' ya vag / here's my back hand [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|bitch]]/ ya got a problem wit' that? * punch* }}

{{quote|Billy: I am tellin' Mom.

Jimmy: You wouldn't! }}

{{quote|'''Buzz Buzz''': One last thing before I finally die…

Take this thing, it’s called a Sound Stone, guy.

* [[Final Fantasy VII]]: Recently announced, a full-length LP with a number of guest artists is being worked on as we speak from The Amazing BrandO.

** This has been put on hold due to the reunion show among other things.

* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: In ''Zelda 2'', Dark Link attempts one:

{{quote|"No I know all your moves, and I feel all you ''pain!'' / You're a ''slave'' to the princess, a fuckin' shame. / [[We Can Rule Together|Hyrule could be ours, take my hand! / We could rule the kingdom, devour the land!]] / You'll never defeat me, you ''know'' that I'm right! / You're a ''servant'', a ''pawn'', and you're living a ''lie!''}}

** Trevor and other characters keep dying throughout ''Castlevania III'', interrupting the music.

** In the [[Link to The Past|Zelda 3]] videos, Link constantly saying that he has a REALLY LARGE PENIS.

** In some of the video-game songs, they get into some pretty obscure in-jokes with the games. [[Final Fantasy I|Chaos]] referencing [[Dragon Quest I|Erdrick's]] gravestone, for example.

** One to [[Flash Gordon (comic strip)|Flash Gordon]] in the Mega Man 2 rap.

* [[With Lyrics]]: Almost the entirety of their discography, though they do have a few original songs.

** Though many songs merely use the original game tunes as a backdrop to the added in lyrics rather than adding lyrics directly to the song melodies.

** Mike Christensen, the voice of Spud in Final Fantasy, was to be Hornet Man in the upcoming Mega Man 9 song by BrandO. Due to differences in between the two, this is supposedly to be axed.

** And episode 2 of the actual cartoon. Probably from the [[Broad Strokes|fans' denial that it was used in]] [[Windows Movie Maker]] and [[MS Paint]].
