''[http://www.youtube.com/show?p=LdnBaIw9t7M Two Best Friends Play]'' is a [[Web Original]] comedy series found on the [[Machinima]]'s [[YouTube]] channel.
''[http://www.youtube.com/show?p=LdnBaIw9t7M Two Best Friends Play]'' (aka, ''Super Best Friends Play'', ''Best Friends Zaibatsu'') is a [[Web Original]] comedy series found on the [[Machinima]]'s [[YouTube]] channel.


The series is a [[MST]] of sorts; two friends named Matt and Pat play video games, argue, and mock the game they are playing and each other. The series does not focus on the two friends; they weren't even named until the second season. According to the show's [[Facebook]] page, it started when The Switcher (Matt) invited his friend Snapshot King (Pat) over to play ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Kirbys Epic Yarn]]'' and record themselves taking their playthrough way too seriously. Besides that nothing is known about them; Matt ''sounds'' younger and enjoys [[Lighter and Softer]] games, and Pat ''sounds'' older and likes [[Darker and Edgier]] games, though based on the pictures on their [[Facebook]] page they look the same age.

Most videos goes two ways: either Matt and Pat play a bad game and ridicule the game and each other for suggesting that they play it, or they play a good game poorly and complain about how much the other one sucks at it. Either way we never see them complete the game, but that's not the point.

Either way we never see them complete the game, but that's not the point. Over the years, their two other friends, Woolie and Liam have also made appearances, before finally becoming part of the group altogether.


The videos are edited so the audience only sees highlights of their gaming session; they are around ten to fifteen minutes long. Trailers for the videos can be found on the author's original channel [http://www.youtube.com/user/TheSw1tcher here], which has their ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Kirbys Epic Yarn]]'' and ''[[Silent Hill: Shattered Memories]]'' videos, their mini-episodes, the episodes for the Super Best Friends Brawl spin-off (which involves Mat, Pat, and Woolie competing in local multiplayer games), and their ''[[Resident Evil 2]]'', ''[[Silent Hill: Downpour]]'', and ''[[Final Fight|Final Fight Streetwise]]'' [[Let's Play|Let's Plays]].

* [[Gratuitous French Phrases]]: The Friends sometimes slide into random Quebecois French.

* [[Percussive Maintenance]]: Done as a joke in the ''Batman: Arkham City'' video: the video starts with gameplay from ''Batman: Dark Tomorrow'' and they hit the TV to change it to ''Arkham City''

* [["Previously On..."]]: Pat tries to explain to Matt the backstory for ''F.E.A.R.'' while ''F.3.A.R.'' does its own version, and makes the whole thing sound stupid and overcomplicated. Matt doesn't pay attention.
