{{quote|Matt and Pat!
They're friends who play together
Learning and sharing and junk!
One is nice
and the other one is less nice!
Who couldn't love Matt and Pat?
Best friends play together!|'''Season 2 intro song'''<ref>Sung to the Green Greens Theme from [[Kirby]]</ref>}}
Line 119:
* [[Big Word Shout]]: {{spoiler|At the end of the ''[[Captain America]]'' video, Matt screams '''''"AMERICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"''''' as he makes Captain America jump at a Nazi robot.}}
* [[Black Best Friend]]/[[Black Dude Dies First]]: In the beginning of ''[[Dead Space 2]]'' Isaac is being treated by a black doctor. Pat talks about how helpful this new best friend will be right before he's killed and mutated by a necromorph. Then humorously lampshaded a few minutes later.
{{quote|
'''Pat:''' Yeah, Franco really bought it. }}
* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: The discussion of Catherine raping Vincent in the ''[[Catherine]]'' video.
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: The "English" version of one of the Xbox Indie games they play, ''Legend of the Dragonflame Highschool''.
{{quote|
* [[Bond One-Liner]]:
** ''[[Rise of Nightmares]]'' is full of them doing these, in response to nearly every single NPC's death.
Line 130:
* [[Brick Joke]]: Early on in the ''[[Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks]]'' video, they established that unlike some of the other games they have played co-op, they actually are working together and can't kill each other. Matt points out that they'll probably find a way to kill each other later. Sure enough, they did.
* [[Buffy-Speak]]: Matt does a light version of this on occasion.
{{quote|
'''Matt:''' It means that people can't see me, with, their eyeballs. }}
** And later in that same game they discuss going into "sneaky-stab mode".
Line 139:
** In the ''Dead Rising 2: Off The Record'' video, Matt brings up the fact that unicorns can be called ponies and says that Pat would know all about that, bringing up the fact that he had a [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] desktop at the end of the ''[[Amnesia: The Dark Descent|Amnesia the Dark Descent]]'' video.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Matt is fond of yelling "America!" when he wins something or sees something patriotic.
{{quote|
** Eventually, it gets to the point where when they play ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'', this conversation happens:
{{quote|
'''Pat:''' [[Lampshade Hanging|You're in their country!]] }}
*** Strangely enough, they actually avoid yelling "America!" during the ''[[Metal Wolf Chaos]]'' video, the most patriotic video game ever made. Maybe its because Matt would be yelling it every 10 seconds. Or maybe it's because the game basically does it for him.
** Pat's prepared response whenever Matt urges him to do something.
{{quote|
'''Pat:''' Oh, I'll [verb] the ''shit'' out of that [noun]. }}
*** This one is somewhat subverted with "Pick up that file!"
Line 172:
** Matt explains the story of ''[[Kane and Lynch]]'' to Pat during the ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' video like how Pat explained to Matt ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' in the ''[[Kane and Lynch]]'' video.
* [[Covert Pervert]]: Whenever Matt runs into a lady NPC in ''[[Rise of Nightmares]]'', he hovers the hand icon over their chests or butts.
{{quote|
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: The friends swear all the time, usually in frustration, though Pat casually replaces other nouns with "shit".
** Here's a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI1UN8S6dQA compilation video] of all their swearing between ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Deadly Premonition]]''. It's fifteen minutes long.
* [[Critical Research Failure]]: Deliberately invoked. They play ''[[Red Dead Redemption]]'', but {{spoiler|gameplay shows that they're actually playing ''Gun''}}, and the tags on the video list it as {{spoiler|''Call of Juarez''}}. This is more in-character than the creators making a mistake, since {{spoiler|they somehow switch over to ''Redemption'' at the end}}.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: When Matt or Pat (they are not sure who) invites their friend Woolie to play ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'' with them, he brings his own arcade controller and tears Pat to bits. The friends are not amused.
{{quote|
'''Pat:''' Sh-shut up, shut up. Just get out.
'''Matt:''' Get out!
'''Pat:''' Get the fuck out!
'''Matt:''' Get ouuuuuut!
*cut to credits* }}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Both of them are a couple of smartasses. For example, during ''[[Fist of the North Star|Ken's Rage]]'' when they are reading the move list:
{{quote|
''Goes to move list, normal attack is eight x's in a row''
'''Pat:''' Holy fucking shit are you serious?
'''Matt:''' Okay, let me write down what normal attack is.
'''Pat:''' Okay: x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x.
'''Matt:''' What was after the fifth x?
'''Pat:''' x, x, x.
'''Matt:''' Okay.
'''Pat:''' x. }}
* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: Invoked almost exactly by name during the ''[[Kirbys Return to Dream Land]]'' playthrough, in which Matt inadvertently kills Pat through the game's [[Intimate Healing]] mechanic.
{{quote|
* [[The Ditz]]: Matt's naivete ranges from simply being misinformed, to childlike, to whatever brain-dribbling-out-his-ears stupidity was going through his head during ''[[Portal 2]]''.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: During the ''[[Disaster: Day of Crisis]]'' episode they watch a tower collapse in a manner similar to the World Trade Center. Matt asks Pat flat out if it seems familiar. Pat says it reminds him of ''[[Bionic Commando]]'', [[Mood Whiplash|then drinks a container of orange juice larger than the character's head]].
* [[Don't Explain the Joke]]: From the ''[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution|Deus Ex Human Revolution]]'' episode on Matt displays a tendency to say "Oh, it's like sex" after any [[Double Entendre]] joke.
* [[Don't Think, Feel]]: Matt suggest this during ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. Pat doesn't listen.
{{quote|
'''Pat:''' What is up with you and saying that?
''Pat dies''
'''Matt:''' You thought!
'''Pat:''' Oh, you're right, I totally did! I thought about what a dick you are. ''(dies again)'' Fuck, I guess I was thinking it again! }}
* [[Double Entendre]]/[[That's What She Said]]: Pops up often.
** From the ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' episode:
{{quote|
** In the ''Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage'' episode:
{{quote|
'''Pat:''' You just took it all up in your face. Bet you're used to that too! }}
** This early joke from the ''Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks'' episode:
{{quote|
'''Pat:''' That's what she said. [[Don't Explain the Joke|About my dick]]. She said it about my dick.<br />
'''Matt:''' I don't-<br />
'''Pat:''' When she said that, she was talking about my dick. }}
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Pat attempts to explain to Matt that Poison from ''[[Street Fighter]]'' isn't as woman as he thinks he is. Matt remains oblivious.
{{quote|
'''Matt:''' ... [[Comically Missing the Point|Yeah, mine!]] }}
** And during the ''Catherine'' playthrough, Matt hits on {{spoiler|Erika}}, although Pat doesn't tell him.
* [[Dumb Struck]]: What happens to Matt at the end of the ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' video when he wastes their last life jumping over a cliff which he thought might have a token under it.
{{quote|
* [[Dull Surprise]]: In the ''Captain America'' video, the two friends make fun of Captain America's default expression, which looks extremely bored.
* [[Eagle Land]]: Matt likes to invoke Type 1.
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: In the original ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Kirbys Epic Yarn]]'' video, Matt and Pat's now-traditional roles were reversed, with Pat being the goofball and Matt being the straight man.
* [[Epic Fail]]: Matt "failing everything" in ''[[Dead Rising 2]]''.
{{quote|
'''Matt:''' [[Comically Missing the Point|At least I was wearing sweet cut-offs]]. }}
* [[Expospeak Gag]]:
** During the ''[[Punch Out|Punch-Out!!]]'' video, when Pat references a [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/stole-my-bike certain meme]:
{{quote|
'''Matt:''' Do you now?
'''Pat:''' I do. }}
** When they see a bunch of people running for a helicopter in ''Gears of War 3'':
{{quote|
'''Matt''': I think you're gonna have to [[Predator|get inside that helicopter with urgency]]. }}
** Upon being attacked by a cougar in Cabela's Survival: Shadows of Katmai:
{{quote|
'''Matt:''' Get away from me you sexy older lady!
'''Pat:''' I don't have any use for your worn-out charms! }}
* [[Everyone Has Standards]]: Despite his legendary poor taste in games, even MATT gets fed up with ''[[Drake of the 99 Dragons]]'' VERY quickly.
Line 251:
** During their Xbox Live Indie Games II video, after the "Colonies: Neociv" demo ends, Matt replies, "At least it was better than ''Mass Effect 3''", which is what they play next week.
* [[Friendship Moment]]: Maybe?
{{quote|
'''Matt:''' Um, 'cause you're my friend.
''Pat groans'' }}
* [[Fun with Acronyms]]: Matt and Pat decide that W.V.B.A. from ''[[Punch Out]]'' stands for "Women's Vietnam Bitch Army". Or "Battle Army", they can't keep it straight.
* [[Gilligan Cut]]: During ''[[Portal 2]]'', when Chell is carrying Wheatley through [[G La DOS]]' old chamber.
{{quote|
'''Pat:''' Nothing bad is going to happen.
''Cut to [[G La DOS]] crushing Wheatley''
'''Matt:''' Oh fuck! You said nothing bad was going to happen!
'''Pat:''' To you!
'''Matt:''' Nigel! }}
** And another during the ''[[Punch Out|Punch-Out!!]]'' video when they are playing ''Super Punch-Out!!'' and Matt loses to Mr. Sandman:
{{quote|
'''Pat:''' Everything for the Wii is for babies.
'''Matt:''' They're for babies! It's so easy it's just gonna-
''Cut to {{spoiler|Donkey Kong}} kicking Matt's ass''
'''Pat:''' Oh what the fuck?! }}
** And ''another'' when the two are picking out armor for ''Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon''.
{{quote|
'''Pat:''' Pink.
'''Matt:''' ''No.''
'''Pat:''' Pink. Take the pink one. Take the pink color.
'''Matt:''' Why would I take pink?
'''Pat:''' Because it ''suits you.'' Take the pink one.
'''Matt:''' No, I won't take pink!
'''Pat:''' Take the little girly color! Take it!
'''Matt:''' Shut up!
''Cut to the two dropping into the game. One of them is wearing pinkish armor.''
'''Pat:''' Yeah, come on, Pinky!
'''Matt:''' Shut up! It doesn't matter which color I am. }}
* [[Got Me Doing It]]: After getting annoyed at Matt calling Wheatley "Nigel" in the ''[[Portal 2]]'' episode, Pat accidentally calls him by that name and promptly gets more pissed off.
** They also have this quick exchange waiting for a multiplayer game in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|Assassin's Creed Brotherhood]]'' to load.
{{quote|
'''Matt:''' Sneaky-stab mode?
'''Pat:''' Sneaky-stab m-...You fucking tricked me into saying that stupid thing.
'''Matt:''' I didn't trick you you just wanted to say it.
'''Pat:''' I kinda wanted to. }}
* [[Groin Attack]]: As Matt and Pat are quick to point out, the snakes in ''Man Vs Wild'' really do look like they're biting Bear Grylls in the groin.
* [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]]: In the first match of ''[[Super Punch Out]]'', Matt and Pat decide Mac must be some kind of monster for delivering a [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] to Gabby Jay, an old man who hasn't won for 99 fights.
{{quote|
'''Pat:''' Just beat the shit out of that old man! He knew what he was getting in for! }}
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Despite his constant swearing, Pat is well-read and educated.
* [[Highly-Visible Ninja]]: Matt is the worst assassin ever in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''.
{{quote|
** Matt also has numerous moments in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater]]'', minor offenses starting with wearing high-profile American flag face paint or hiding in a cardboard box...in the middle of a forest.
{{quote|
'''Matt:''' No way, I never get detected!
''Cut to an enemy being alerted to Snake's presence''
'''Matt:''' Oh shit! Nothing, it's nothing! }}
* [[Hilarious Outtakes]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16MmibMnSFE Though you'll be hard-pressed] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BG373E1_d4 to find a difference between] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BszaePI0wi8 the outtake videos and the regular videos.]
* [[Ho Yay]]: Innuendos, accidental or not, happen fairly often.
{{quote|
'''Matt:''' I don't wanna be on top of anything that has to do with you.
'''Pat:''' Augh... ''gross!''
'''Matt:''' Get it, it's like sex... }}
** And there's them fanboying over Cole Train in ''Gears of War 3''.
*** [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?|"No homo."]]
** Directly invoked when playing ''[[Kirbys Return to Dream Land]]'' upon discovering the ability to heal your companion by kissing.
{{quote|
** In the ''[[Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks|Shaolin Monks]]'' video:
{{quote|
'''Pat:''' I thought you'd never ask...
'''Matt:''' Oh, this reminds me of that one summer... }}
* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: The ''[[Rise of Nightmares]]'' video features a pretty lengthy version of this.
** It's not just isolated to the Rise of Nightmares vid. In fact, a good bit of the humor is puns. This is usually done when someone dies in a unique way, like in Rise of Nightmares.
* [[Insurmountable Waist High Fence]]: Discussed numerous times when playing ''Captain America''.
{{quote|
* [[Instant Win Condition]]: They suddenly beat the opening level of ''Survival'', and Pat wonders what the hell happened to the wolves that were attacking the protagonist a second ago.
* [[It Amused Me]]:
Line 326:
** Pat pulls this on Matt during the ''Amnesia'' video, leaving to go get a snack and then waiting for Matt to run into a monster before jumping out and yelling "Boo!"
* [[Jumping the Shark]]: Invoked in a rather literal fashion in the ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' episode:
{{quote|
'''Pat:''' I don't wanna jump the shark! ...Aw, we jumped it. }}
** This was in reference to the series getting greenlit on the Machinima channel.
* [[Jump Physics]]: Commented on in ''Survival''.
{{quote|
''[One scene later, the game abandons realism and the character makes a massive leap across a chasm.]''
'''Matt:''' Whoooooa! ''That's'' a jump!
'''Matt and Pat, in unison:''' ''Fuck Bear Grylls!''
''[Even later]''
'''Pat:''' Man, he's like the mayor of fucking Jump Town with that shit. }}
* [[Large Ham]]: Sometimes they like to ham up a scene now and then.
{{quote|
'''Pat:''' '''''MUUUUUUUUUURDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEER'''''. }}
** The ''[[Heavy Rain]]'' video is them overreacting to the control introduction.
Line 349:
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: Shouting seems to be Pats normal way of communicating with Matt.
* [[Not the Fall That Kills You]]: Pat finds ''[[Assassin's Creed Revelations]]''' use of a grappling hook to be slightly unrealistic:
{{quote|
* [[Numbered Sequels]]: Matt and Pat try really hard to figure out how to pronounce ''F.3.A.R.'', but eventually give up, figuring it's not worth their time.
* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]: In ''Survival''.
{{quote|
'''Matt:''' Togo, you were down at the mountain, like at the base camp.
'''Pat:''' Dude, is that dog, like, [[Quantum Leap|quantum leaping]]? Is that dog time-traveling? }}
* [[One of Us]]: It's revealed at the end of the ''[[Amnesia: The Dark Descent|Amnesia the Dark Descent]]'' video that {{spoiler|Pat is a brony.}}
Line 360:
** Matt taking so long to color the picture in ''Shattered Memories'' that Pat angrily storms out only to return to Matt still coloring.
** Trying to kill the invincible prostitutes in ''[[Gun (video game)|Red Dead Redemption]]''.
{{quote|
** Matt spinning the motorcycle around in ''Ken's Rage'' and to make Pat sick from the motion blur.
* [[Paper Tiger]]: For all of his bluster and snarkiness, at around [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jWsiyXoTz0 8:55 in the video], Matt too falls prey to the gnawing horror of [[Amnesia: The Dark Descent|Amnesia]]. And a [[Jump Scare]] from Pat.
Line 385:
** Although this isn't intentional, it still sort of counts: Matt's consistently awful navigational skills and his tendency to throw the fireaxe in the ''[[Silent Hill: Downpour]]'' [[Let's Play]].
* [[Sarcasm Mode]]:
{{quote|
** And during ''[[Portal 2]]''
{{quote|
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Matt and Pat sometimes quit the game they're playing in frustration.
** Matt [[Rage Quits]] ''Amnesia'' when he's had enough of the scary.
Line 404:
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Matt and Pat, respectively. Though calling Matt sensitive is a bit of a stretch.
* [[Sidetracked By the Golden Saucer]]: Matt really gets into the coloring segments of ''Shattered Memories'', to Pat's annoyance.
{{quote|
'''Matt:''' This is awesome.
'''Pat:''' Fuck you.
'''Matt:''' Well, I mean-
'''Pat:''' *slams door*
''Later when Matt has almost finished coloring in the entire page''
'''Pat:''' Okay, dude, I knew I blew up. I'm sorry, but- Are you still coloring this? Are you serious? You have been coloring this the entire time I've been gone? What's wrong with you? You're like, the worst person I have known in my entire life.
'''Matt:''' Well, this is fun.
'''Pat:''' ''God'', I hate you so m-We're no longer friends. }}
* [[Something Completely Different]]: In addition to being a full-on [[Let's Play]], in the ''[[Resident Evil 2]]'' videos Matt and Pat act a lot more normal. Matt isn't an idiot, and Pat is a lot less exasperated. This is lampshaded.
* [[Sorry I Left the BGM On]]: Matt whistles along to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OUP_Z3iZPs "Life Is Beautiful"] during ''[[Deadly Premonition]]'', which drives Pat nuts. Then later the music starts up again, but it's only Matt's ringtone.
{{quote|
* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: Pat's insults are normally restricted to "your mom" jokes and telling Matt he sucks, but on one occasion he calls Matt "[[Richard III|the winter of his discontent]]". Matt [[Insult Backfire|takes it as a compliment]].
** Matt may very well be right, since the phrase roughly means "the end of unhappiness". Pat's only reasoning behind the supposed insult is that "winter sucks".
Line 434:
* [[Take That]]:
** From ''Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days'':
{{quote|
'''Matt:''' [[Too Soon]].
'''Pat:''' ''*chuckle*'' No, no. Making fun of ''All Points Bulletin'' is not too soon. }}
** From ''Disaster: Day of Crisis'':
{{quote|
** ''Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage'' has multiple take that's directed at KOEI:
{{quote|
'''Matt:''' Uh, controls like a shopping cart, actually.
'''Pat:''' Oh KOEI! Consistent, at least! }}
** During the Xbox Live Indie Games video:
{{quote|
'''Pat''': This game is dogshit!
'''Matt''': At least it's better than fucking [[Halo 3: ODST|ODST]]. }}
** Upon seeing the LJN Toys logo before playing [[True Lies]]:
{{quote|
** When Matt says ''[[Catherine]]'' is like ''[[Fahrenheit (2005 video game)]]'' if ''[[Fahrenheit (2005 video game)]]'' [[Story to Gameplay Ratio|was a game]].
** In ''Rise of Nightmares'':
{{quote|
'''Matt:''' Uh... I was just kinda, you know, dumpster diving behind the deli, and someone had just thrown one out. So you know, why not?
(''later, upon seeing zombies'')
'''Pat:''' Oh, awesome, they locked fucking Kinect testers in here.
'''Matt:''' (as a Kinect tester) "Oh my god, I wasted so much money!" }}
** [[Catwoman (film)|Halle Berry was the best Catwo]]-*punch*
Line 461:
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Twice in ''Survival''. Matt wonders what's the point of shooting some birds; almost immediately afterwards, said birds attack him. Later, Pat the game is starting to get boring, then in the next scene a bear starts destroying an entire camp by itself.
* [[That Came Out Wrong]]: During ''Gears of War 3'':
{{quote|
'''Matt''': They say "Hey look at this thing" and the windows close like "Nuh uh".
'''Pat''': You only get a taste.
'''Matt''': You only get a taste of the tentacles... that sounded terrible. }}
* [[This Is Gonna Suck]]: Pat knows playing ''[[Portal 2]]'' with Matt is going to be a pain.
{{quote|
'''Matt:''' This is gonna be fun, right?
'''Pat:''' Okay, yeah yeah, the game is awesome. But you're...an idiot. }}
** Pat isn't impressed by the beginning of ''Survival'', either:
{{quote|
* [[Timmy in a Well]]: A brief gag in ''Survival''.
{{quote|
* [[Too Soon]]: Pat does not think it's [[Too Soon]] to make fun of ''[[All Points Bulletin]]'' during the ''Kane and Lynch'' video.
** Invoked again during the ''Demon's Souls'' video, just as a huge dragon appears onscreen with a bunch of villagers in its mouth :
{{quote|
'''Pat:''' Too soon! }}
* [[Vaporware]]: ''Of course'' they're going to make jokes at the expense of ''[[Duke Nukem Forever]]'''s 14-year development time.
{{quote|
'''Matt:''' No...
'''Pat:''' It came out!
'''Matt:''' Okay, you encoded something on a disc, and you put it in here to troll me.
...
'''Pat:''' Downloadable content?! ''They still didn't finish the whole game!'' }}
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: If they can kill someone in a game, it's a safe bet they will.
Line 488:
** Their video for ''[[The Punisher (2005 video game)|The Punisher]]''; unsurprising, given that's the entire point of the game.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Even though it says "Best Friends" in the title, they keep insulting each other every time they play together.
{{quote|
** Another example during ''Gears of War 3'':
{{quote|
* [[Wall of Text]]: Pat's reaction to these is "[[Precision F-Strike|Fuck it]], don't care."
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Spinning toilet paper, drinking from water fountains, and spinning chairs in the ''[[Duke Nukem Forever]]'' episode.
Line 498:
* [[Your Mom]]:
** From the ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' video:
{{quote|
'''Pat:''' Don't you like dark, moist places?
'''Matt:''' I like your mom's dark moist place.
'''Pat:''' How about I kill you?
'''Matt:''' How about no? }}
** Another good example comes from the ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|Assassin's Creed Brotherhood]]'' episode:
{{quote|
'''Pat:''' Aw, fuck!
'''Matt:''' Ahaha! Yeah, you're a real combat specialist!
'''Pat:''' Your mom is a fucking combat specialist.
'''Matt:''' What?
'''Pat:''' With my dick. }}
