The Dark Id/Funny
- The whole Resident Evil series. All of them belong here. ESPECIALLY RE4.
"Leon ditches Ashley out in the open in an area just filled with people trying to capture her. Nice guy. Then again, she's not remotely awesome enough to ride... The Fantabulous Magma Transversing Gearmatic Device!" |
- The U3 fight. The entire U3 fight. The horrible abomination Boss Battle turns into a Musical Episode with the monster (which has the head of Gene Simmons) and Leon singing. And then Bono enters into the picture...
- The fight against the Verdugo is turned into a grudge match between Leon and his brother Todd, and ends with an out-of-nowhere interlude where Bitores Mendez welcomes the Verdugo to "Second-Banana Heaven".
- There was this gem from his Resident Evil 1 remake LP, when Chris finds the articles about S.T.A.R.S...
S.T.A.R.S. TEAM INVESTIGATES MISSING BICYCLE. SIX DEAD. |
- The Rant-Inducing Slight caused by meeting zombie sharks:
The Dark Id: Now, it's a bit far fetched that you'd find sharks in the middle of a mid-western wooded mountain. But, it's Umbrella and I can see them importing that shit here. What I cannot fathom is the need for zombie sharks. Look at this fucking thing. This creature does not, in any way, need the 'undead' attribute under its belt. What is it going to do? Spread the virus to the hand it left behind because it fucking ate everything else in one chomp? The fruits of the T-Virus labor here seem to be, surprise, making a really big ass shark. Now at least if James fucking Bond is trying to sneak into one of Umbrella's secret underwater bases, they've got that covered. Assuming they could control the sharks, which they cannot, and we assume the shark would not eat James Bond otherwise, which it would. In what other instance will a shark be any remote use for a biological weapon? This isn't like the usual 'whoops, we had an accident' monster creations. Umbrella actually built a multi-million dollar underground "Aqua Ring" to culture shark bio weapons to sell to the highest bidder. Which brings us back to James Bond. Since who in the fuck else but Bond Villains would be in the market for gigantic fucking zombie sharks? Even then, you know they're just going to be stuck into a pit while Bond and the secretary he's fucking that week is lowered slowly into said pit! In summary, zombie sharks are fucking retarded, even for Umbrella standards. Thank you for your time. |
- The epic but ridiculous battle in the center of what maybe either Chris's mind or time and space itself between him and the vengeful Billy "FUCKING" Coen. To wit: The Dark Id shows Ghost!Billy possessing a Hunter and killing poor Rebecca as revenge for killing him at the end of Zero (It Makes Sense in Context) and Chris kills him in retaliation. After that, things get weird as during the RE2 LP, Rebecca was supposed to repair Todd Kennedy's window. The result is a Time Paradox of mad proportions resulting in Chris ending up in Sprite style and being menaced by Billy possessing a bird and trying to rip his eyes out. THEN they have a battle in the style of Soul Calibur 3, custom characters and all with chris wielding a simple knife and Billy armed with a giant fuck-off zweihander. THEN it becomes a brief battle film as done in The Movies with Chris winning a knife fight by pulling out his shotgun and plugging Billy right in the chest. THEN it comes to a head when various members of the STARS team from beyond the grave (From various Resident Evil comic panels) attempt to encourage Chris to fight back. After that he ends up rescuing Rebecca. TWICE for good measure (One in PSX style, the other in the remake) And it is so ridiculous as to be the funniest thing an LP of Resident Evil can be.
- The earlier acid trip Chris has after getting poisoned by Yawn, done like a Text Adventure game, complete with a cameo from the very posh El Gigante and Claire. It comes out of nowhere and makes for a surprisingly chortlesome sequence.
- The climax of the RE1 LP Tyrant-Billy has Chris and the others on the ropes. Brad drops down a boombox leading to a brief screenshot-music-video thing to the tune of "Paint It, Black". Then Brad drops down the rocket launcher realising his mistake. Of course it turns out Tyrant-Billy's having trouble adjusting to his new body. and then...
God: COEN!! WILLIAM LESTER COEN!! THAT IS QUITE ENOUGH! |
- Then Chris gives the final shot to Billy with the perfect Bond One-Liner:
Chris: Hey! Fuck you...Billy...FUCKING...COEN! |
- His sudden comparison of the Nitro Express part in the laboratory to a similar part in Castlevania (Nintendo 64) which becomes a tale of a time paradox:
Before I begin my description of the following events, are you all familiar with Castlevania (Nintendo 64)? The black sheep first 3D installment of a rather mediocre line of 3D entries into the Castlevania series. This title had a laundry list of problems going for it, but I found it to be somewhat enjoyable. That is, except for one portion midway through. At the "Castle Center" area of the game, the player is tasked with recovering some "Magical Nitro" to blow up a wall or something of that nature. The catch? You have to transport it clear across the area. The bigger catch? If you jump, fall down anything larger than a step, or get hit by an enemy, the nitro would explode and you would die instantly. So, there was of course moving platforms, unguarded rails, turning gears, a load of enemies and other hazards designed to blow your character's ass to vampire slaying heaven. This section was so ill designed that not only was the entire development staffed shunned from society, but the effects of its shittiness traveled down the family line causing a mass of seppuku among developers' ancestors several generations back in time. Of course, with their ancestor's death, the development staff never existed to design the stage in the first place, thus ripping a hole in the space/time continuum. Though the universe has a way of sorting itself out and Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness sprung into existence. This would still give a valid excuse for the developer's ancestors to kill themselves, but still have the existence of a subpar Castlevania spin-off in the future. The Castlevania 64 we all know today was a product of time ninja meddling. Thus balance was restored. |
- The near entierty of his Resident Evil Zero LP, which gives us gems as Billy "FUCKING" Coen being an incredible Jerkass (And Jewish) the T-001 Tyrant being a mad drunkard and Rebecca paying back Billy's cruelty at the end by shooting him in the head. The crowning moment of hilarity comes when, while reading James Marcus' diary expressing his adoration for his prized leeches, Dark Id comes to a horrifying conclusion. Leeches!.
The Dark Id: ALERT: DR. MARCUS IS FUCKING LEECHES! I REPEAT: DR. JAMES MARCUS IS GOING DOWN ON LEECHES! |
- Billy comes back in the Remake LP as a ghost merely antagonising Rebecca and Chris before moving on to full blown villainy when he gets Richard Aiken killed and possesses various creatures in an attempt to kill the heroes.
- A combination of both a CMOF and CMOA came during the LP of Resident Evil 4 during Episode 32, especially when Leon stabbed Salazar in the hand. ICE BURN!
- This line about sums it up appropriately:
Leon:What the fuck were you thinking with that just then? Serious, I fought a giant blob with a teethed vagina for a mouth on the back of a speeding train in an exploding secret underground laboratory during a zombie outbreak and it wasn't a tenth as out of line with what I just went through. |
- In the Resident Evil 2 LP, the perfect response to the revelation of the G-virus reproductive method:
Alright, when you've created a monster who's base instinct is incest, it's time to go right the fuck back to the drawing board. |
- One of the twin El Gigantes giving a thumbs up as it sinks into molten metal. The fact that they're both in what seems to be a gay BDSM relationship is icing on the cake.
- Imagining what will happen if, after going One-Winged Angel for the final boss battle, Saddler kills Leon and recaptures Ashley, but then can't change back:
The President: What do you want? |
- Id's reaction to an electricity based puzzle in an industrial section of Raccoon City in Resident Evil 3:
The Dark Id: Right...so these are unlocked by fucking with the city's power grid. |
- Resident Evil 2 has the first few instances of Senor X...wearing a sombrero and sporting a moustache. Leon takes him down and tries on his hat before discarding it because it doesn't suit him. What Senor X says as his first line sets the tone for what The Dark Id has in mind for him:
Senor X: *Bursts through a wall* |
- His sudden appearence on a security monitor turns into this as he's still looking for his hat, and Leon was just looking for something to watch:
Senor X: Oficial de policia, yo necesito mi sombrero. |
- And their final battle with the now mutated Senor X having one last pop at Leon. Oh yeah, and he's wearing a sombrero again. MADE OF FIRE.
Senor X: Si, senor. Its a boss fight, ese. |
- And the resulting exchange not a minute later with Senor X losing his patience and Leon finally admitting the truth:
Senor X: Your discrimination over de country of my origin is most disrespectful, mah. At least I can hold a job. What are you doing, eh? Lost your job on your first day? Itz pathetic, ese. What kinda cop are you? |
- Code Veronica: Claire's "fight" with Nosferatu/Alexander Ashford. Said monster dons a top hat and a monocle and has swatted Steve aside. And then...
Nosferatu/Alexander: Madam. I would like to have a brief moment of your time. For, I am Alexander Reginald Ashford. Master of the esteemed Ashford Family and descendent of the brilliant Veronica Ashford. After a long and most unfortunate slumber, I have returned to restore the Ashford Family name to its rightful place among the world's first and finest[...]Now, madam. If you will, allow me to give you a brief history on the lush history of my fine family line. The Ashfords were founded by the legendarily beautiful and intelligent Veronica Ashford. Truly, our family would have never reached the highs it has today, lacking the foundation she built upon it. Following her, came her son Stanley Ashford. A nobleman of true character he was- |

- In chapter 27, on the issue of imprisoning people in a kitchen:
One of the bars in the kitchen, you say. I'm not going to even get into how idiotic it would be to imprison people in a kitchen. What dwells in a kitchen? |
- "And as a last bid for escape, Alyssa drops an epic steamer."
- Dirge of Cerberus gives us this gem.
Vincent: I desire a piggy-back ride. |
- One of the later Imagine Spots:
- Witness as a boss dies in three shots.
- Drakengard has a few:
Caim: Are you calling my sister a whore? |
- After Verdelet gives another unwarrented Captain Obvious comment:
Caim: See what I mean. He’s telling us how a pact works. |
- When rescuing Seere from the Coliseum
Caim:... |
- And then comes the part where Caim gets a glowing sword that shoots lightning from the sky when he holds it up:
Dragon: What, Caim? Not going to quote He-Man now? |
- While Drakengard 2 is mostly pain and suffering and Nowe being an idiot, Caim finally gets his due in the Where Are They Now epilogue:
Caim: Caim went on to become the new Grim Reaper of the land. His application to the position simply said 'I murdered the shit out of the last guy'. He was hired on the spot. |
- Caim's first proper cutscene appearence gets this brilliant gem:
Image of a VERY gleeful Caim: Caim's status: Loving this shit! |
- The LP of Chrono Cross has plenty of hilarious moments, most of them brought about by his writing Serge as the Only Sane Man in the clusterfuck of Mind Screw and Gambit Pileup. Probably the best part of it, though, is Serge's interactions with ZOAH, who seems to have latched on to Serge like an awkward rookie cop and has somehow become this adorably awkward dork despite being a ridiculously large muscle-bound bruiser. One particular great moment:
Serge: Stop Lynx from doing...what exactly? What? I honestly have absolutely no idea why I should give a crap about that prick anymore. Not a clue! Zoah, do you know? |
- Upon Zoah's suggestion that Another World Norris join the party, despite Home World Norris already being in the party:
Serge: No... No, Zoah... We already HAVE a Norris. We can’t get another one. We can’t even keep track of the one we already have. This is far too much responsibility having two! I mean...what are we going to call the second Norris? Have you thought about this? What happens when both Norris...es are in the room? Huh? |
- Zoah just has a lot of these, really. No wonder the LP thread turned him into an Ensemble Darkhorse.
Serge: So are we like in the future now? Or is this another dead timeline where everyone was doomed to a fate of being shadows that only spout exposition? |
- And finally, there's the verbal smackdown delivered to the Dwarf King.
Dwarf king: Is there no land on this planet where we can live in peace? Oh, Goddess of Fate, why are we dealt such a hand... |
- Serge after waking up from a dream where kills Kid.
Serge: Welp, that's an uncomfortable dream to wake up from with morning wood... |
- The bar tab ending:
Dark Serge: MY SPLEEN! |
- Serge's homecoming after the... incident at Fort Dragonia.
Serge: Welp, mom... You know how you're always saying I should get out of the house and do something with my life...? LOOK WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I LISTENED TO YOU!!! |
- Limbo of the Lost. His reaction to Cranny Faggot's name.
The Dark Id: CRANNY. FAGGOT. As silly as a name Spooner may be, you have shit, good captain, on a name like Cranny Faggot. Indeed, I'd be hard pressed to find any character with a more absurd name than Cranny Faggot. Hell, I just played a game with a man named "Hot Coldman" and it might as well be John Smith in comparison. |
- This video of NIER gameplay. In case you're wondering, that's a boar he's riding...
- What finally pushes Fei over the edge during a chat with Queen Shevat at the near end of disc 2.
Queen Zephyr: I understand. So let's keep believing... And hope for a miracle... |
- "Father, forgive them for they know not what they chu."
- Any time the tldr recaps make fun of the use of proper nouns without context, but especially:
Cain: Goddammit! I told you kids not to use the Proper Noun! Now go back to bed! |
- The summary of all the crap that's happened to Billy in about 24 hours mostly because it Crosses the Line Twice.
- Not, of course, that this isn't in line with the rest of the party:
**Upon being faced with the massacre of Billy's entire church** |
- Also from the Xenogears LP, the very first post holds some great lines:
We go straight from bible quotes to space: the final frontier. What does God need with a starship? Well, just because it is God doesn’t mean He lacks the occasional lazy afternoon where He just feels like hitching a ride across town. |
- The Gazel Ministry manage to make even playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution utterly obtuse:
Gazel Minister #1: Purchase the cloaking upgrade. |
