Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Why does this look so ugly?And why does Jimmy Neutron look better?
Yeah? Why does Jimmy Neutron,Jimmy Newmail Sway Genius look better than this?
I think it's because, like theyhave all these new effects that can
use, but they're on the PStwo. Like look at the little like

(00:21):
the green ship coming out of theback of it. It's like, oh,
we have this effect we can useno eye, but it doesn't look
good. But it's like, youknow what it is? Also is the
shade with gray. I also neverunderstood wenching wenching. Yeah, that's freaking
me out so bad as a kid. I was telling you the other day,
I really really was scared of thisbecause it's so eerie. Oh my
god, look at the ring around, look at the textures on his teeth.

(00:42):
Yeah, that looks horrible. Isthat just because the emulator? I
don't know. I think that's justbecause of that's his texture ship. Yeah,
oh god, he looks so hideous, bloodshot eyes. It's just he
just see why couldn't they make hismodel look like that? Yeah a little
bit better. They also fucked upTiny the tiger they get out of here.

(01:03):
They really fucked him up. It'sbecause they would stretch the models in
the original, but if you didthat with this would look like Sonic Adventure
where but you know what Tiny theTiger like when he had hit Do you
remember and Crash Banicuot warped or maybeit was Crashed Banicoot two where it's like
the blue screen and it has thecharacter come up and Tiny comes up and
it has his teeth. His teethlooked like elephant like knuckles. Yeah,
you know what I'm talking about.But here we get like this, like

(01:26):
a screen like this, but itwas Tiny the Tiger. I remember him
looking so horrible. I'm like,that looks like shit. But this is
just like cycling through the fucking thelike mouthflap animation and spinning him. It
is pretty interesting that, like forthree games in the row, they kept
that hub world like choose the nextlevel, but the Crush two ones nothing

(01:46):
like the Crash three one. Ithink this game was so rushed because they
wanted to make an open world onethat uh that just were just crashed.
There was no times. It wasjust like Crash three did that. We
got to do that too, repurposeCrash three and have a new textures on
things and make everything look ugly andgray. Yeah, it's almost like Crash
three was for them working on likethem. Yeah, we have him run.

(02:06):
Oh my god, look at hiseyes. I just sem walks slowly
up to But the thing that Iwas bugging me about this Crash model is
that his arms are like coming outof his fucking head. He looks like
his Schillo Wett is horrifying. Ialso don't like his mouth. I like
the little like yeah what yeah,really? I always like that you were

(02:31):
American. Yeah, he was reallyAmerican, even though he's Australian. Yes,
Seriously, how do you think theseries, Like, how do you
think the French I don't know franchiseIP of Crash Bandicoot would go If they
had went with the Butch Hartman design, it would not have been popular.
It would have I would have wentright under the ridar, like like GEX

(02:52):
or fucking So you think Crash Bandicoot'ssuccess was attributed to his design, like
mostly design, It was the perftime. It was a little bit edgier
than Sonic, you know, yeah, because he had a big, big
titted girlfriend right next to him.Yeah, but yeah, because it was
very similar to like Looney Tunes.Crash was Looney Toes, where the Sonic
was like Felix the Cat, likeMickey Mice, it was kind of,

(03:14):
uh more what you think Sonic MickeyMouse, dude, But yeah, Crash
is much more like. He wouldfit right in with like Bugs Bunny,
you know, Crash Bandicoot and Jam. Who would you rather hang out with
that? Mickey Mouse A Crash Banicoot, Mickey Mice. He would not be
more fun to hang out with,but I'd rather hang out with him.
Okay, who would you do?Who would you do hardcore drugs with?
Mickey Mouse or Crash Banicoot Mickey Mice. It would It wouldn't be as fun,

(03:38):
but it would be way more likeyou. Doing hardcore drugs with Mickey
Mouse would be such a fucking dragdude because he would not know how to
hang Yeah, he'd be like,he'd be acting like it was it'd be
his first time. It would Ohman, the fuck am I supposed to
feel? My dude? I supposedto feel this way? Yeah? It
throws up everywhere. Oh my god, dude, I'm sorry, so so

(04:00):
sorry. I'm sorry. Wait,can you go to the left over there?
Yeah, yeah, go to theleft. I mean you can't,
but I will do it. Goto the left, Yeah, you can't.
See's a kid. All I wantto do was so this is this
is an important bit of context forthis scheme. I guess is I grew
This was my first Crash game.This was one of the first games I
ever played that I can remember,because my dad's friend was getting rid of

(04:24):
all's PS two games and this wasa part of it. And this is
the one that like stuck we goback. Look how ugly those wily mamm
It's like, look like that lookslike ship. Yeah, it's really ugly,
Like doesn't look like anything from theCrash world Oca Waca also looks like
trash. You know what it is? This game is gives me the same
feeling as Donkey Kong Country three,where like don Yong Country three is Donkey

(04:46):
Kong, but it's not. It'swhen it like starts getting more Banjo kazui,
like you know, I know whatyou mean, where it starts to
become like an exaggerated version of whatit's like. Think it has to be.
I think it's more of like theywant to go in a different direction
and it starts becoming status quo.Really see what do you mean by different
direction? But stead of quo likein this one, like they're trying to

(05:11):
keep things the same by having asimilar like way of playing the game,
right, like with the world mapand everything and just like the platforming,
but then at the same time theywant to make things different by making this
a very like transportation heavy like kindof Yeah, I game, you know,
gameplay. I think what happened tohere is, Yeah, they were
like, well Crush three has likeall these vehicles, Well what if we

(05:31):
had him in more vehicles? Yeah, they really wanted to make that the
gimmick in this one. Yeah,and well, just getting back to what
I was talking about, it was, dang it, what did I just
compare this to. I had apoint you were like a dun Kunk Country.
Oh yeah, dyn Kunk Country three. Yeah, so dun Kunk Country
three also had gimmicks with transportation,but they also like they their gimmicks went

(05:55):
more in like a very like positiveand colorful vibe as opposed to the dark,
gray and like you know, drearyvibe that the first two games had.
Yeah, so they went they wentmore towards that happy looking direction like
Banjo Kazui. That was they madeit what like Rare was doing at the
time, exactly right, Yeah,it's the Rare really wasn't trying to differentiate

(06:17):
their own series like art styles.It was all just kind of like,
oh, this is the Rare style. Yeah, they just kind of unconsciously
made their own art style because theywere trying to make their models, you
know, like as well as theycould. And so I think, yeah,
this game is like a poor imitationof what Travelers teals could like interpret
it as being the Crash style.Is there any one good Traveler's Tales like

(06:40):
game other than A Bugs Life?I'm sure some would argue Sonic R,
but I don't agree at all.Sonic ar Sex. Which one's Sonic R.
It's the Sega Saturn game where you'reraising But is it the one that
goest a supers Sunshine tealstall Oh?Yes, okay, But the issue with
that game is that it was alsoreally right. It was me in like

(07:00):
less than a year I think,and so using assets, they took one
of their previous Formula one games thatwere developing and just put a Sonic skin
over it. So you're like butthen the levels are giant, Like there's
only five tracks in this racing game, but they're all fucking massive. But
it clearly is like mad for platformingand not really racing. You know,
there's no really like it's not like, oh, goh street, it's like,

(07:23):
oh, take a one hundred andeaty to return here and go laught
and right and then backwards and thenyou know, yeah, but there are
people out there who like really masterthat game and can beat it all twenty
minutes, and they're like the challengeof having to go around and do all
this like backwards ass shit, tryingto get the chaos emeralds to one hundred
percent the game while also coming infirst. So it's like, oh,

(07:46):
you have to master that where it'sI feel like, is that that is
like the challenge that is like,yeah, I gimmick. Sure some people
come out of that feeling like it'slike a guilty pleasure kind of thing,
an accomplishment that they can complete it. I understand, I get it.
But yeah, this game, Yeah, I had it as a kid and
I fucking loved it. There wassomething about it that was kind of see
it has such like a weird sothat's not us lagging, that's the game.
That is the game. I neverreally knew this was a bad game

(08:11):
because I had nothing to compare itto. But I got Crash too,
but couldn't play it because I didn'thave a memory card for my PS one.
So I was like, I'll playWrath of Cortex. It's been like
ten years. I fucking played itand I was like, oh, this
is this is fine. So thenI put in Crash two and I'm like,
this is great. And then Ithink I'm like, I'll go check.
I complete the rest of the WrathCortex and I go back and plat
and I'm like, oh my god, this is fucking dreadful. Also,

(08:35):
I realized going on this again,Wrath of Cortex is literally like the same
thing for me as Sonic Heroes,where Wrath of Cortex is the reason why
I don't fucking like Crash Bandicoo anymore. What happened. I went in the
death right just like for I played. I didn't. I didn't know how

(08:56):
memory cards work. So sometimes Itake out a memory card and be like,
oh, I have to start thegame from the beginning again. Okay,
So I had to play this levelhundreds of times. Sorry, yeah
you were. I started to takethis rock to get the all the box
out. No, yeah, no, I this was this game was the
reason why I was like, CrashBandicoot fucking sucks until they made their like
the remakes, Yeah, you know, the remake trilogy, which also i'd

(09:16):
argue, look pretty ugly in theirown right. Yeah, they don't look
they don't look good, specifically withCrash. Yeah, specifically with Crash.
I think Coca looks alright, Likenlooks all right. Do you think you
know what it is? This Crashdesign looks like those bootleg like like plushy
designs of Crash, the really uglyones you know I'm talking about. Yeah,

(09:37):
you can't jump when you're crouched.You have to like let go,
you have to let go and thenpress jump. Yeah, but that's dumb
there. That only works sometimes,I guess. Yeah. It's like it
gave me the same kind of likedisinterest in Crash Bandicoot like Sonic Kiros did
for me, Like We're I justdidn't like Sonic anymore because Sonicuro's was so

(09:58):
shit and that Wrath of Cortex wasI was like, well, I don't
give a shit about Crash Bandicot anymore, so you think this is shit.
So that's why I never played twinSanity, So I never played it until
well later after this game. Idon't I have not played a single Crash
Bandicoot except the trilogy. You see. I grew up on the worst ear
of Crash I grew up on Igrew up on Crash of the Titans.

(10:18):
I grew up on uh Tag Teamracing on the PS two, where it's
literally like Crash Bandicoot Simpsons Hit andRun, but with like a really awful
racing mode attached to it. So, now that you have your knowledge of
crash Bandicoot lore, what is yourfavorite? This is controversial. I've always
stood by the fact that I likeCrash one the most. Crash one,
I like Crash one. I Idon't really like any of the gimmicks in

(10:43):
Crash three and Crash two. Ithink in the Final World, when you're
in that like all two D levelin the lab or you're at the jet
pack, I'm like, I'm done, I don't want to play this anymore.
But Crash one is nothing. It'slike you got two Warhog levels and
the rest platforming which I think isfun. The Wordhog levels are pretty fun.
Yeah, I think two is myfavorite, but I also really like
Warped. Like if you if youasked me which one I would I would

(11:05):
rather play, I'd probably say Warped, But Two is I think a better
game. Really, it's you knowwhat it is. It's like the Better
Call Saw Breaking Bad Dilemma, whereit's like Breaking Bad is arguably a better
series, but Better Call Saw isjust I like it more. It's my
favorite. What what is it?Sound effect? I think it just broke
that that? Again, I've playedthis game. No, I'm pretty sure.

(11:28):
I am pretty sure this is howit is. This is the GameCube
version, but I grew up inthe PS two one. But that never
Maybe i'll put some footage here thePS two one. I don't think that.
I don't think that happens. Whatyou do? Like the sound effect
stopped? I think this is acommon glitch though, Yeah, like there
is. It's a sound it's asound effect of something nearby that it's just

(11:50):
like playing way too loud. Also, like what is this? Like this
is a whole level. It's sothe Crash three was like kind of teetering
on this, but it doesn't fullygo into it. But this is like
from level two, You're in afucking movie. Also awful vehicle. The
thing I like about Crash three isthat all of the transportation levels aren't just
left up to Crash or Cocoa like. It is kind of like evenly sparse,

(12:13):
and they're not like they don't theydon't control like ass, They're pretty
easy to play. You want toplay the ball level? Yeah? I
do want to play the ball level. This This is the level I played
and I was like, Wow,this is what makes the game. I
was like, this is the onlyfun like level in this whole game.

other day I really wanted to playplay it. No, not the other
day. For like months, Markhas been talking about playing wanting to play
this game again because it's so nostalgicto me. But I don't like it.

(23:52):
You know, it's weird. Doyou have any games like that where
you're nostalgic towards it? So everynow and then you want to play it,
but you know it's not a goodgame. Yeah, Pinocchio for the
Super Nintendo. I've known you forfour years and I've never seen you play
That's that is untrue. You haveseen me play Pinocchio when I own it?
I haven't. I know you ownit, but when have you played
it? I'm definitely I've definitely playedPinocchio on stream before, and I've played

(24:15):
PoCA. I played Pinocchio my emulatorbefore on my computer. I've never seen
that my whole life. Definitely,Yes, I have showed you because I
showed you the like intro to thegame too, when you're walking around the
school yard like fall and he doeslike a little fun fall like animation.
I've never seen that in my wife. Yeah, it's I really liked that
game. It's not a good game. What's bad about it? It's kind

(24:36):
of like a baby game. Itlooks like I'm the only one who got
all the boxes in a level.What what? Oh, I'm sorry,
I just noticed that one. Youjust got there right now, But I
had to help you right here?Oh helped me. Shoot, I just
noticed that one too. I alsogot Sorry, you know, mine's just
kind of front and center. Soit just kind of like seems the Bay

(24:57):
level playing with blocks, the dupelove all the Rugrats level. I fucking
hate that design so much. Whichone is Tom tom Kenny? None of
them? You told me one ofthem was Tom Kenny. One of them
is Biff, one of them isthe full metal jacket. Oh my god,
French bandicoot. He is tech hiseyebrow texture. But then in the

(25:18):
in the later Crash gaams for likeCrash of the Titans and Mind of Remutant,
they're just making a big mister Tparody. And that's the whole joke
is that he just talks like misterT, which is kind of offensive for
for your one Crash character voiced bya black guy tournament mister TV engine.
Wasn't there already a Mister T characterfrom Crash? I think you're thinking of
like Tiny or something like that.No, I'm not thinking of Tiny.

(25:41):
I'm thinking of somebody though. Ohmy god, like god much this is
lagging, I know, dude,it's so sputtery. This boss spot,
this was like the being in myexistence. Sometime as a kid, I
could beat this first try, andsometimes it would take me literally, I
would have to wait for my dadto come home from work. You know,
it's like funny is now that youbring us up. I remember it
taking me a really long time tobeat this boss when I was a kid.
I in retrospect, I honestly feelreally bad for my dead because I

(26:03):
would ask him to come home fromwork and only beat this game all the
time. But it was for him. It was like he was coming home
and suddenly I'm at the start ofthe game again asking him to it for
help. See, I never understoodhow to play this level. You have
to hit all the blocks, allthe stones that they're blue, but he
can hit hit them and make themorange. And if he hits them all
orange, I don't think anything happens, but I think like it hurts you

(26:27):
if you touch one that's orange.You know, it takes a couple of
I hate that all the health barsfor crashing this game are fucking percentage.
I like it seems unfinished. Ilike the text also, I really I
love his floating head. I loveit so much, like that render of
him, I'm fine with it.Should make a three D model of that
and like put it on a hangarand hang it from a full windchime.

(26:48):
Let it just like like a mobileof crashm mobile. Yeah for sunny.
See, I really hate crunches design. I think he looks Scooby Dumb.
What he looks like Scooby Dumb.He is like the Crash equivalent of Scooby
Dumb. No he's not, Yeshe is. He's a retard. No
he's not. Yess he is.He talks like a nimrod. No in

(27:11):
the Leader games and this one,he's cool. In this game. He's
supposed to be like the Knuckles,but they made Knuckles a retard and like
Sonic Boom, he's like he's likethat same thing, same thing. Yeah,
so he is an idiot. Theymade him stupid. You know it's
weird to me is that, likeyou have games like Crash then the new
like recent game, especially where ithas like fifty characters, like way more

(27:33):
than you would ever need for likea mascot racer of Crash, because it's
like, could you even him fiftyCrash characters? Yeah? So I always
thought like why would I want toplay a game like this one I don't
care about, like, oh Iget it, play as the cool alien
from Crash nitro Cart you know inthe game cube. Well, I get
to play as the cool green goblinfrom Crash Nigro Cart in the game,
like, you know, like whywould I want to play some kids like

(27:56):
the gross alien looking one that issomeone's favorite kids, That is someone's favorite
character, just like just like Coco'stiger that you only ride like once and
see her hang out with like acouple of times. You know, that's
a character. And it's like whenthe fuck that character do anything in this
game? That's I'm saying, whydo't want to play them? But then
I would want to play as thembecause it's like, oh, that's the
cute tiger with Coca. I've playedthis game all my life and I never

(28:18):
realized this is meant to be likemete out of water like a water pillar.
Oh I always thought I was frozen. Yeah, could you even tell
like it again? It took meyears and years and used to realize the
whole theme of this game is liketechnology. You're in like an like a
virtual reality kind of place. Wait, really that's what it is. That's
the thing. That's why it's likea wireframe gritter on ju Coco's like,
oh I can fucking make a teleporterthat teleports us into like all these different

(28:45):
worlds. Okay, that is atrope I really fucking hate. It's just
is no. I mean, Idon't if it's done right, I don't.
You know, it's fine, butyou know, the trope, the
trope, the trope that I hatethe most, or one of the trops
I hate the most is like smartwhiz kid no just knows how to do
anything. They they could do fuckinganything like Wade from Kim Possible or Tails

(29:08):
from fucking Sonic that he used tonot be like that. That's why I
like Jimmy Neutron because he thinks hecan do everything. But he's a fuck
up. Yeah, he doesn't makeeverything perfect, like there's always something wrong
with it. And that's because heunderstands like trial and error. He understands
science. He understands that you makea hypothesis and you have to test out
your hypothesis, you know what Imean. Yeah, Coco Bandicoot doesn't.

(29:32):
She pulls a fucking fingernail out ofher ass and she goes, look,
I can rewrote this and now wehave Wi Fi. Yeah it's like that.
Oh, I used a paper clipand to do this thing. You
know, Yeah, it's it's themcguiver, the mcguiver Gilligan's Island thing.
You know what I saw recently becausewe were talking abou multiverse briefly there where
you were like, oh, whatit's done right, And then I thought
like, yeah, really it dependson the character. Because I saw recently

(29:52):
Disney were like, we are doinga new comic and it's Scrooge McDuck going
to the multiverse to it retrieves theGolden Coin or something like that. That's
kind of fun. But I waslike, who cares about this character?
I like Scrooge McDuck. I meanin the sense of like why would you
want to watch him like go througha multiverse scenario? But I would.
I like, I would like tosee Scrooge McDuck with Huey Dewey and Louis

(30:15):
going on little hijinks like going throughthe multiverse. Yeah, that'd be kind
of cool. I couldn't always heededthat as a kid. The Travelers teals
is on like three blessed trees,like a flat It's like a take a
flat rendering following the camera O likemarry sixty four trees but look at them
like I like that though again kindof reminds me of like Shanobi. You

(30:37):
know, it is kind of youknow what it is? Okay, you
know what it is that I've noticedabout this game is that it takes old
renders, or it takes like oldtextures and applies it to like new three
D models, and it looks reallybad like crunches eyebrows, or like uka
Ukah's or like the bad uka ukaslike texture on his like tiaky head.
I think it's just they were likeunderstand again, like I I think,

(31:00):
yeah, they wanted to make anopen world crash game for this one,
but then I guess that showed Sonywhat they were working on and they were
like, what the fuck is this? Make it like the old ones?
So they, like last than ayear, had to throw this together.
Were there even like open world gamesin two thousand and one? No,
but they wanted to make it morelike what would become Crash twin Sanity,
where it's like Crash running through overI guess less linear is what I mean,

(31:22):
crash and open areas. Yeah,that was good. There we go
hmmm, look see this is theonly time in the game where you have
to use the new power up cutwhere you sneak the sneaking power. Well,
so fun. I hate that fuckingrepeating The monkey said, chizee,
you know what I used to livingCrash Manicoot one when you're when you know

(31:44):
that one level where you have tolike spin in the air, it's when
they first introduced the little like dialswhere you spend in the air, you
turn the dial so you can keepgoing upwards. Right, yeah, but
in the background it would go more. Ah, I did that. I
love that. I thought it wasso fucking funny as can I get it
nice? You know what it is? He's just too slow in this game.

(32:05):
He's so is all. It's noteven like the movement. The movement
feels fine, you know, Ito deal with it. It's just that
he his animations are so slow thatit makes you feel like he's a fucking
tank. But yeah, but alsois well, it's not it's not his
animation, it's the payoff of hislike movement, like how he looks like
because he's running really quickly, buthe's not moving much, you know what

(32:28):
I mean? Do you also thinkit's a thing where I don't know where
like I heard about this, butit's the kind of thing where it's like,
oh, it's easier to control acharacter in a two D or three
D spears when they're more like they'reas wide as they are tall, you
know in their minds. Oh,because there's there's like an isolated box of
movement. Yeah, whereas Crash islike so fucking lanky and tall that it

(32:49):
makes control. Like anytime he doesthe front flip when he's moving, I'm
like, what the fuck is goingon? Like I can't it's because of
his arms. It's because they attachedhis arms too high up to his head,
and it's because they made his legstoo long and his torso shorter.
Yeah, that's literally what it is. Also, look how ugly this looks,
but it like it just they wereclearly trying to replicate like the Crash

(33:09):
two and Crash three like chase sequences. It's really bad. Yeah, it
just doesn't look good. And it'sbecause everything is shady with great like there's
nothing is colorful, nothing stands outto fucking predict these box policements. Why
is there inside the tunnel? Youmissed a box? The box? Oh
god, Well, if we evercomplete this game in the future. I

(33:30):
guess we saw that fucking monkey.Why is the monkey still following you screaming?
Yeah? Look here it comes again. Ready? They should have cool
diagetic monkeys in these games. DiageticWhat do you mean diagetic? Like every
once in a while you see alittle monkey in a tree and then it
just speak to you. Do youremember that was that one box? Yeah?

(33:57):
Do you remember when they meet thoseplastation No, the PS two had
those rumble controllers? Are the joysticksfor the buzzer games where it had like
a big red buzzer and then ithad like a red, blue, yellow,
and green buttons on it and Simonyou can play Simon. No.
No, so when you're playing likea quiz game, it's like, oh,
what is the answer to this?And then you press the color that

(34:17):
corresponds to the question. Interesting,No, I don't remember that at all.
I'm gonna look this up because hesure you're not thinking of like the
DS guitar Hero like attachment. No, I'm not thinking of a guitar Hero.
You sure sounds like you kind ofwere talking about guitar Hero. Look
at this, that literally looks likeGuitar Hero. Mark, don't you remember
this guitar hero these? Okay,I gotta explain that. It was called

(34:39):
buzz This is an accessory for thePS two for quiz games specifically where it's
like, oh, you have theanswer. It's like says a question and
it's like, oh, you havethe answer, pressed the big red buzzer
and then you have to answer.And then it's like there's four like options,
all corresponding to a color, thosefour colors, and you press the
color what you think, and thenit's like oh, corrector wrong, and

(34:59):
then it hypes it up to whateveris like the right answer. But that
was like a big thing for awhile, and they made a bunch of
accessories or a bunch of games thatyou could only play with that, and
I had them as a kid.I had like three of them. This
is not a UK thing. Ithink maybe some of them because I know
you guys really like your trivia.Yeah, But they had like Monkey Rumble
that I played as a kid,where it was like it was like Mario

(35:21):
Party but it was all quisbyest.I was like, oh, press this
really quickly. Did you play asa monkey, Yeah? You played as
little monkeys monkeys? Yeah, areyou jumping on the bed? You know
what I'm remembering now, you didjump off the bed as a monkey.
I'm remembering now that the announcer forthe game was British. It was a
British so I guess it was Britishonly Mark. Did you have a nintend

(35:42):
Dogs? No, yeah, butwe had well, I mean we had
it, but I didn't play itin ten Dogs personally. Oh so you
did have nintend Dogs. Okay,see this is this is I A while
ago I had a video idea whereI was like, I want to get
all these PS two Party Joy Buzzergames and play them all so the movie.
That would be interesting since it seemslike we could play them here on

(36:04):
the podcast, unless if you don'twant to do it on your channel,
we do both. I went onetime when Uriic Salad Bar when he came
to when he came to visit us, we were like Chris had had like
raspberry Pie hooked up to the livingroom, so we had like a ship
ton of games that were like emulatedright on like Competer. So me and
Urick were like siphoning through them andwe're like, oh, I wonder how

(36:24):
Jeopardy for this for the the nests. Yeah, I wonder how that was.
So I thought that for like Monopolyon the DS or are the nes
and like that. It was reallybad and it looked really stupid and it
had questions that was like, howthe fuck am I supposed to know that?
It was just like so un fun. I'm like, how the fuck

(36:45):
does did anyone play this and thinkthis was a good time? Some kid
played that and was like, wow, it's just like the video the board
game. Yeah, this is Thiswas always the level as a kid where
I was like, Nope, I'mdone, I'm bored. Isn't there a
toy of this? I'm pretty suremy brother David had a toy of this
that you're thinking of, the scubacrash toy that, No, that is
one, but I'm thinking of thisone in particular. I don't think they

(37:06):
made any like Merchant. I thinkthey had that one crash toy line,
the resource one, the popular onethat everyone like four hunde. It was
so whenever those things are so cheapthat whenever I saw one in Chris's highest,
I was like, I want totouch it, but I feel like
I'll touch it and it'll just it'llbreak half and half. There's tell I'm

(37:29):
telling you. Every time I godown one of these, I'm like,
where's the there was? I rememberI told you last time. I was
like, just bo Yeah, themusic for this sucks too. I was
saying the mark I had like beforewe took a quick break when Jane came
in, I was saying, likethe fucking theme song that they did,
like, it sounds horrible in this. Yeah, it's like mid Eye.

(37:50):
It's really bad. Travelers teels werenever really like grip music that that's not
true. Really, what you everplay toy story? You ever play the
play so annoying? Oh? Younever got to gut it? What from
ANIMENIAX, I've never seen that.That's wacko. Why is my gun is

(38:12):
hitting it? That's wacko complaining aboutnot being able to pick up a telephone
when it rings because everybody else keepspicking it up before? Did you like
the cool twenty twenty animeniac where theytalk about Donald Trump and YouTube and I
have a I have a handful offriends who worked on that project, on
that series, right, Yeah,christeeny YadA did work on that project.

(38:34):
The animation's good. The animation's great. Do I think Do I think it
was a good ANIMENIAX No, that'sfair, you know, But do I
respect remember the Yeah? Do Irespect the work that went into it?
Yes, because it fucking looks great. Yeah. What do you think about
that argument where it's like, whatdo you think about shows that were very
like self referential when they came outin like the nineties or the two thousands,

(38:58):
and then they get rebooted or goingto this day, and so they
start getting to the point where they'rereferencing like COVID or like Donald Trump or
Obama, and it's kind of like, was could you argue this is like,
oh, why they're just dating thisall the same thing? Yeah?
Yeah, See, I would arguethat when animaniacs made jokes about pop culture

(39:19):
things, it was mostly things inrelation to the world that the animaniacs lived
in, which is Warner Brothers inHollywood. So a lot of their commentary
were on Hollywood films and celebrities andmovies and directors. It's not like that,
But yeah, would they have madejokes about like the president because you
have like the parents where they havethe president, they made jokes I think

(39:42):
about I think they made Clinton aClinton joke and have had like political figures
before be in the show. ButI would argue, I would argue that
the intention back then was obviously tomake fun, but wasn't It wasn't too

(40:02):
It wasn't to make a statement,you know what I mean. It wasn't
to make a statement. Whereas whenAnimaniacs was being developed during COVID, the
big narrative and thing that that mostanimators and liberals were saying was Orange Man
bad, you know, and thatand anybody making a clever joke at Trump's
expense would be the hot topic,like the hot person of the week,

(40:28):
you know, which is why SaturdayNight Live did it so fucking often,
which is why a lot of likeshitty talk show hosts like Jimmy Kimmel and
stuff like, you know, theyalways went for the Trump hate card,
you know, they always went thatroute. Yeah, even whether or not
they believed that is like that's irregardless, you know what I mean, Like

(40:49):
like that that's just void at thepoint of it. Didn't they didn't make
an animation for Coco having aaa Okay, yeah, that is kind of weird
that she wouldn't have it. Butlike Yeah, Okay, whether or not
you were for or against him isn'tthe point. The point is that it
was it was funny. It wasquote unquote funny and acceptable if you were
making fun of the president. Andtherefore, yeah, as such a large

(41:14):
focus of people's lives as following theselike figures, and it's like I have
to make sure the figures I supportare like aligned with my h morals and
or whatever. But like, buteven like that that being said, like
the animeniacs, the twenty twenty animaniacs, I personally don't think is very good

(41:35):
because I don't think that their intentionwith their jokes were very smart thought or
well thought out or clever or youknow, revolutionary, Like I was just
it was like, oh, here'syour thing, here's your political commentary on
this topic, kind of like oh, the original had like adult jokes and
like political like the occasional political things. So we'll do like oh, this

(41:57):
big Donald Trump, like a giantDonald Trump appear out of nowhere, and
he looks like a baby and hehas tiny little hands. He's got a
big giants like family got making funof Trump where they have to kissing.
That's what I'm saying where it's likethat's not revolutionary, like Peter Griffin having
a fight with Donald Trump, Likethat's not funny. But if that was
made, if that was made inthe early two thousands and that was on
new grounds, that'd be fucking hilarious. Yeah, where it's like it's kind

(42:22):
of like, uh, you reallydon't need to be doing this right now,
like what you should be spending,like your show, like a million
dollars went towards you animating Peter Griffinfighting Donald Trump. Yeah, like why
it's like it's just not that ohwow, yeah, okay, like psided
you out for a bit. Yeah, I just so that's that was my

(42:45):
problem with the Animeniacs. But itfucking looks beautiful. Yeah, yeah,
I argue the original Obviously the originaleks better, but it still looks fucking
great. Yeah. I was gonnathat's funny compared these, I was gonna
say that, I was gonna saythat exact same thing where yeah, it's
apparent has been dude making a statementrather than like, yeah, telling a

(43:07):
joke where I think about like likefamily guy would have made a lot of
jokes about uh see, I don'tknow American politics, for whose family guy
made a lot of jokes George Bush, yeah about sure, yeah, like
a kline. But they did Bushand Clinton jokes. They did, you
know, they did Reagan joke.I feel yeah, I feel like every
show running at that time that hadlike kind of like self referential like Current

(43:29):
Debt Humor would all do the samething where you have like the Friendly had
parents where they have him like theyhave their own Bush. They have him
like go to press the button,but he spills the saltan impressed, just
like the debt meter that destroys likea city. We had to have oops,
like a big generous like impression,Oh my god, what the fuck?

(43:51):
What is going on? You're laughingtoo hard at Butch Harvan's jokes go
for that you had whenever you healthfar, you have to wait for the
fucking box to drop. Yeah.I do like his little goggles they do.
Look I think it looks cool.But this is the level where I
was, like the world. Idon't like this level because it reminds me
of having to do the brilliant Sorryit caught me off guard. You kind

(44:15):
of got me like Michael, likeMichael Myers and Kanye West just now that's
but see, and that's something FamilyGuy made fun of as well, didn't.
Yeah, the Kanye West, MikeMichael Myers thing, really what that?
What was their joke about? Itwasn't the whole joke of them just

(44:35):
like referencing. I don't know,maybe I feel like the Family Guy would
though I have to hit the boxto get the health. There we go,
got it. It landed nice.I don't remember what I was saying
something. George Bush does not care. George Bush does not care Family Guy
making the joke George b See.Okay, yes see, they made their

(44:58):
jokes, but when they did,it was like a five second joke.
That was the end of it,and it wasn't the plot. And they
moved only an episode at George Bush. Yeah the joke, they didn't do
it. Butch Harbin didn't make afucking fairly odd Parents episode about like Timmy
meeting Trump. You know, I'mgoing to escalator Land. Yeah that was
it, escalator Land, Yeah,the right, you know, like I

(45:29):
can respect that, But then likethings like like ANEMINIAX where it's this whole
fucking segment where you wasted people's timeanimating the President of the United States looking
like a big giant fact on ZillaBaby where it's like, yeah, who
was watching this? He was gonnabe like, whow you really like?
Said something? Trickly Puff. TricklyPuff's gonna clap her little feet together,

(45:54):
an actual person puff right now.I look up triggly Puff right now.
Level then okay, I'll play thislevel. Well you look up trickle Oh
god, I get the ship level. Okay, you can't get all the
boxes in here, by the way, and in one go triggly Yeah,

(46:14):
look up trial. Yeah, whatthe fuck is this? It's trickly Puff.
Dude. For reference Gan, you'reaware, we're Yeah, where the
fuck have you been living? Don'tyou ever watch Chris Reagan twenty fifteen.
Chris Reagan, ain't no rest forthe Liberals. I was watching game in

(46:37):
twenty fifteen. It was ain't norest for the trigger triggered. Yeah,
the trick, Yeah exactly. I'mpretty sure he just keep keep dying.
I feel like if you meet thattoday, everyone would be like you are
a fucking loser. Yeah. Ifif Chris Reagan made content like he did
in twenty fifteen. Sorry, ifyou press the O button, are the

(47:00):
yeah the circle button? You dropa Bomb. No, I don't.
I think you're just connected. Ohmy god, this controller sucks Sammy Brooker
controller the Square on the Crash LifeYeah too. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(47:22):
you play I hate them. Iwas gonna say, yeah, least
I hate this game, but I'veplayed enough times in my life too.
Yeah. You this is this isa you thing. This is not a
me thing. This is when Istopped playing crash Manicute. Yeah. Next,
we gotta play Pinocchi on Okay,wait, why did we start talking
about tricklely puff? Why did youbring up tricky puffs? We're talking about
show? Okay, last thing aboutit. Yeah, I think like whether

(47:44):
or not like Trump bad, Trumpgood? Whatever you think like, I
don't, I don't care. Yeah, but it's a good Joke's a good
joke. That's that's Yeah, thatreally is what it is. Is Uh.
If you're telling a joke for thesake of having social commentary on something,
then it's obviously not a good fuckingjoke or a joke at all.
Oh yes, that leads to avery hot button crash Bandicoot video. This

(48:06):
this thing. But what do youthink about this statement? Because I see
it every nine and then I seecompletely like disagreeing arguments about like, do
you think art is inherently political?That's what I always see online. What
do you mean inherently political? People? I see. I can't even argue
for the other side. I don'teven understand what I mean. I'm saying
that all politic gene, Do youknow at all what I mean by that?

(48:30):
No? But what inherently political?Is that? Implying that art made
nowadays will have some sort of likepolitical commentary or opinion, Like what does
that mean? No, it's moreit's saying that every single piece of art
ever made has some is inherently fueledby politics. You know, are like

(48:51):
I see in some in some shapeor form it is. It is in
relation to politics because a human ona human puts their own belief into something.
I guess. So the argument orthe point that they're trying to make
is that because you're a human,and because you've experienced life and you've experienced
things that would give you a bias, there is a political there is something

(49:12):
politically fueled in all art because ofhow how the artist was made or ray
suppose that's all I mean? Yeah, but couldn't you say that, like
see I feel like talking like thatis the same thing as fucking Kelly Osborne
being like, well, if youget rid of all the Latinos in America,

(49:32):
then who's gonna clean your toilets?Like I just don't know Trump.
I feel like, no, no, but what it means no honey now,
but like in the sense of like, don't agree with No, No,
I don't I am not with you. I love how that one girl
I don't know who the fuck sheis. She's so she's like, no,

(49:52):
I don't stand with you, Likeno, I don't stay She puts
her hands that stay away from me. No, okay, okay, yeah
No. So I I feel liketalking like that about art and making statements
like that is kind of ignorant,but only because it's just kind of like,

(50:15):
well, it's like the mind analogyMark. It's like Mark's mind analogy.
That's what it's like, where it'slike, well, duh, you
know what I mean? Where Mark? To give some context here, Mark
gave me his mind analogy once werehigh. We were very very high,

(50:38):
and he I was like, youknow, I asked him the question.
I said, Mark, you knowwhen you look at somebody and you see
how they're dressed, wouldn't Would yousay that just from looking at somebody,
could you guess their personality? Right? Just judging a book by its cover?
Could you? Could you guess theirpersonality by how they look? Right?

(51:00):
And some people you could, andI'm sure some people you can't because
everybody's different and complex, blah blahblah whatever. But but the conversation was
about character and personality, and Markmade a point saying that each person,
when you look at the bigger picture, you don't notice the individuality of the
person. Yeah, you can makelike a broad assumption about someone, but

(51:21):
you're never gonna, like until youhave a conversation with them, like a
deep conversation. You're never gonna knowlike the true extent of what that person
like, thinks and feels. Itis an obvious statement, which is why
my response was, well, duh. But the reason why we're bringing it
up is because my ah Mark madelike a drawing of like an amoeba,
and he's like, see, thisis the person and these little tick marks

(51:43):
aren't like the characteristics of them.Yeah, which, and if you take
a step back, I said,it was like I'm looking at a cell
on a microscope is that like youzoom into it and you can see all
this stuff, but when you lookat the cells, it's barely visible.
You know, you see them,just see us all. Yeah, oh
my god, here in the lastlevel. Worry. Yeah, this world.
This is the level that I wasask my dad to help me with.
But no, I would say,Now, I don't think all art

(52:07):
is politically inherently political like fuel.Yeah, no, I would not.
I would agree. I would agreebecause I look at SpongeBob and I go,
what where the politics there? He'sas sexual dude or Crush says that

(52:30):
Crunch things SpongeBob's as sexual and Crushjust cannot have it because he's born in
the nineties. Are all of theboss fights with Crunch like in the same
fucking area. No, this isthe same. The last one looks like,
oh no, you're right. Thelast one you're in a ball.
This is like a sewer, fuckinglike what yeah, what is the rainwater
collector? See? I always likedthe idea of platform or bosses that were

(52:51):
at you actually platforming, but thisis like ship. I do like that
he does a cool little post andhe jumps in the air like that.
Though, like, oh yeah,the splits one he does one where he's
doing the split. That one hedid a little sonic post a guitar strum
in the air. You know what'sfunny. I loved this scheme so much
as a kid, I loved crashedbandicoots so much from this scheme that I
would every time i'd be on atrampoline, I try to do that the

(53:14):
guitar thing. I'd be like,look, I'm crashed bandicooting. I do
the guitars because everyone I knew hadthis scheme. My older brother broke his
leg on our trampoline. Really therewas a hole in the middle of the
trampoline, but my dad was like, well, the kids will still play
on it. It's fine. Somy brother went and he jumped on it,
but his foot got caught in thehole because my older brother was a

(53:35):
big giant. He's a big giant, fat guy, and he got footstuck
in the hole and it twisted thewrong way and it broke his fucking leg.
As a kid in primary school,you don't get a girl's parties very
often, you know. As aboy. Oh yeah, so we went
to a girl's A girl in myclass's birthday partysh on her. No,
I'd like, is she should Iknow about her? Her name was Neve,
like me. And so I wentto her highest and I looked outside

(54:04):
and she was like, we havea trampoline. Now was where is it?
And then I saw like it waslike I've never fucked up this,
Let me do it. No,I want to try I with fifty lives.
Oh my god. I I wentto her highest and I was like,
where is the trampoline? Of course? And yeah, I liked his
eyes closed when you die. Iwas getting used to it, dude.
Oh you know, dude, youknow I think no, never mind,
I was gonna say something that's stupid. Buzz oh ship. I looked over

(54:28):
and she had a thing where herparents dug a big hole in the grind
and instead of having the trampoline onlike some like elevated, they had built
the t oh where like there youwalk on the patio and like, there's
a trampoline built into the grass.That's cool. Where. Yeah, I
was like, this is the coolestthing in the world. Why wouldn't everyone

(54:49):
do this? I don't have toclimb onto the trampoline there. I'm trying
to like gauge when I can justrge right, yeah? Oh god,
oh what the fuck? I jumpedthere? I can Okay, okay,
no, it's not hard. You'rejust dumb. What the fuck? Mark
you have to play? You haveto play that footage if you can?

(55:14):
Oh fuck, doesn't he have adouble jump? Mark? Does he have
a double jump? Right? Andlook at he's also there's also not enough
of a reaction time. But alsoI like that, like I landed there,
I should have had like enough enoughtime to jump and telling you because

(55:35):
he's so he moves so slowly asa kid, I don't or not even
as I feel like on the originalhardware, though it doesn't control. He
doesn't look like that. He's likea water effect on him. Maybe it's
the emulator, like I jumped there, but it's not enough. It's ship

(56:01):
there you go. Yeah, youhave to do this four times? Oh
so blame the lag huh? Yes? Did you see they have crashed his
footsteps from the previous versions of theboss fight that we've done. Looking at
look near crunch. Can't you seethe little footstep right there? Yeah?
Okay, that's pretty cool. Idon't think that's pretty intentional. That's pretty

(56:22):
fun continuity. What the bubble?Why I see that's what happened last time?
That can you hit him right there? We've spent fucking twenty lives on
this boss mark, Yeah, whyis that the easiest one? Whatever?
Now you got the double jump?Yeah, they get They give you a
move that would make that boss fightinfinitely more easy. Crushed size, no

(56:49):
cool animation, no cool dance thathe had completed it the cortex. You
have Coco staring at Static, alittle photoshop fun like why isn't she facing
you? Why couldn't you just goup to her and look at her?
Because that's how it was in Crashthree. Dude, they got to do
the same thing. Save it,but make sure that you make sure you
make a you say it in Dolphinthough, as a kid, I always

(57:14):
like doing this where you just keepholding down impressing the jump button when he
gets to the middle and just keepsrotating. Do you know what the fuck?
Look at the Jane? Look atthis, Look at his ass,
look at his neck. Geane,if this is crawling towards you in that
time, would you be happy
