History Funny / Unraveled

** The indie game ''{{VideoGame/Celeste}}'', which while popular (and Brian's favourite game of that year) wasn't a mainstream smash success, had its variables put into the equation and was used to standardise the BDG. Keep this in mind when Brian reveals that ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'', which sold tens of millions of copies and was one of the most talked about games of the year, managed to only score ''[[BrokeTheRatingScale point one of a BDG]]''.

* "Some of Sony's past E3 press conferences included [[OrchestralVersion a whole orchestra playing the]] [[VideoGame God of War]] theme and a whole banjo player."

** Test 2 involves eating nothing but well-done steaks for ''every meal'' based on what the comments would reveal to be a translation error[[note]] Brian is basing this test on VideoGame/MonsterHunterWorld where the best steak is called well-done when in Japan it's called "Cooked Good Steak", which just means cooked to preference as well as it could possibly be[[/note]].
** Test 3 involves wearing VideoGame/DarkSouls like equipment for every interaction. This includes during a work meeting, where Brian is wearing a [[WhatTheHellCostumingDepartment DIY Mask of the Child made of cardboard and tinfoil with a shield that keeps getting in the way]].

* The sponsorship money [[CallBack once again goes to Brian's head]] and he uses it to create a "'90s Dimension" to speedrun the late '90s (specifically 1996-1998) in three days and enhance his enjoyment of the new ''[[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot Crash Bandicoot]]'' game.

** Dodgeball and ''[[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield Pokemon]]'' (Brian throwing a ball at his closet while playing Pokemon on his Switch).

* Their future sport is Surferball (a combination of dodgeball and ''[[VideoGame/SubwaySurfers Subway Surfers]]''), and they start the [[FunWithAcronyms Polygon Invitation Surferball Series]], with Brian playing for the Polygon Blue-Tailed Skinks and Kofie playing for the Secret Base Ravens, with announcers Jenna Stoeber and Josh Rios.

* When “David Brian Gilbert” takes over, we cut to him talking to himself in the mirror: “Sup dudes, you want to play...pogs? No way, I love rollerblading! [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Let’s get to the airport like 30 minutes before our flight. Security shouldn’t be an issue]].”

* When listing the Pokemon that have been eaten in-game, he mentions Appletun (which children used to have as a snack), Basculin (renowned for its taste), and Drampa ([[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers if a child is being bullied, it will find the bully's house and burn it to the ground]])

* {{Meta}} example, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPY9R_yyiEM&lc=UgwA3oyWl0-4sjWNnQR4AaABAg a comment]] made an interesting point:
--> "I'm personally insulted that you think King Boo even thinks about listening to Bowser. He's his own man. What's Bowser gonna do if he ignores him? ''[[YouCantKillWhatsAlreadyDead Kill him?]]''"

%%* [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext "And I need to know where Donkey Kong pees."]] The credits show Brian and the crew repeatedly {{corpsing}} over this line.

** "That Hyena can GET IT!"

-->'''Brian:''' That hyena can ''get it.''

* Brian is very annoyed that [[VideoGame/EarthBound1983 the only level with a tower crane]] doesn't adhere to tower crane regulations.

* "As I stood there, miles from civilization..." ''([[BlatantLies Buildings visible in shot]])''

** Running and ''[[WesternAnimation/DespicableMe Minion Rush]]'' (Brian jogging in place while playing Minion Rush on his phone).

* Brian isn't actually in the studio due to [[SerendipityWritesThePlot the plague]] so he does the whole video from his apartment in front of a greenscreen, giving him the freedom to use a weird vaporwave background for the entire video.

** [[FreezeFrameBonus Some of the other metaphors that Brian doesn't dig into are:]] communism, alienation and isolation, getting old, transience of being, religious persecution, [[Literature/ThePictureOfDorianGray having a weird painting of yourself]], a really big fish, commodification, death of the American dream, ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice'', conformity, sexual repression, don't do a murder, [[Literature/TheMetamorphosis turning into a bug]], colonialism, television, forgiveness, loss of innocence, [[Literature/TheGreatGatsby the frivolity of the Jazz Age]], masculinity, the destructiveness of the universe, moral degradation, facade of civilization, [[Literature/TheScarletLetter a large red A]], [[ComingOfAgeStory coming of age]], and [[Film/CitizenKane loving sleds]]. Brian points out that the last one is an especially bullshit metaphor.

* Brian is very annoyed that [[VideoGame/{{EarthBound}} the only level with a tower crane]] doesn't adhere to tower crane regulations.

* Coupling the Sonic robots along with the robots [[VerbalTic specifically]]designed for murder because [[DisproportionateRetribution they are "an affront to nature"]].

* “Brian David Gilbert: [[InsistentTerminology Safety Fan and Bureaucratic Wunderkind." Please refer to me as such.]]

* "And while we're hanging out in the Time Break...[[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic's]] here. [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Sonic's in the Time Break, baby!]]"
* The reveal that The Legend Of Zelda [[MundaneMadeAwesome Monopoly]] is the most important Zelda game of all time.
-->'''Brian:''' Reggie, [[SuddenlyShouting TAKE.]] [[PrecisionFStrike FUCKING.]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis NOTES.]] I just saved your ass...with ''MONOPOLY''! This is the pin that holds the ''entire'' Zelda timeline together! ...''[[BrickJoke YOU MADE ME USE MONOPOLY-]]'' (video ends)

-->'''Brian''': My second reaction to this, was "''What the fuck.''" Hey, Todd?! (camera zooms in) ''[[SuddenlyShouting WHAT THE]] [[CurseCutShort FU-]]''

* [[ItMakesSenseInContext “Who doesn’t love a little erotic lizard fiction?”]]

** In a similar vein, the video ends with him [[SuddenlyShouting very loudly]] declaring that it was not, in fact, worth it.

* Coupling the Sonic robots along with the robots [[VerbalTic specifically]] [[DisproportionateRetribution designed for murder]] because they are an [[NoJustNoReaction affront to nature]].

''[[MusicalisInterruptus Background music immediately dies]]''\\
'''BDG:''' ''*[[{{Beat}} stands there grinning for several seconds]], then pegs Acid Man's picture up*'' That's a chemistry joke-

* [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Brian deciding to throw himself into the sea]].
** Then actually doing it at the end of the video.

** Cue several comments along the lines of "Okay, [[LiteralMinded Such.]]"

* [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext "And I need to know where Donkey Kong pees."]] The credits show Brian and the crew repeatedly {{corpsing}} over this line.

* On not moving equipment unless it's safe in relation to [[VideoGame/MarioKart the race]] [[VideoGame/FZero track stages]]:

* Brian's state of utter confusion that Fortnite won game of the year because of his formula.

* Brian keeps getting interrupted by Patrick, who informs him of the games he is leaving out of his Hero’s Journey wheel.

* The entire Villain's Tridecagon.
** In the introduction, Patrick pans over to Clayton on the other camera, who is ''very'' confused about what he is filming.
* Brian doesn't even bother trying to fit Dream Drop Distance into the journey, which is especially funny since [[HilariousInHindsight it turns out]] its plot is ''integral'' to Kingdom Hearts 3.
** As a testament to how fed up he was getting, Brian transparently decides to put Dream Drop Distance into the trash.
** Even better, he "predicts" that in Kingdom Hearts 3, Big Bad Xehanort will win by body-snatching Sora - something that he ''already tried to do'' (and failed) in Dream Drop Distance.

-->'''BDG:''' When I die, will I become Dry Brian? Is a living Bowser "Wet Bowser"? [[MemeticMutation Why do Piranha Plant have bone in it?]]

--> "I'm personally insulted that you think King Boo even thinks about listening to Bowser. [[ChaoticNeutral He's his own man.]] What's Bowser gonna do if he ignores him? ''[[YouCantKillWhatsAlreadyDead Kill him?]]''"

* The quality that cinches the top kuddler's spot? [[ItMakesSenseInContext Perfect ventilation.]]

* "[[MemeticMutation But isn't that what we want as gamers?]] [[TakeThat To be disappointed?]]"

* Brian and his co-chef have to make 78 recipes in about 8 hours. It doesn't dawn on them that this isn't enough time until they realise [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome that it took them an hour and a half to make]] ''[[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome nine]]'' [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome recipes.]]

* Brian explains the origin of the term "hit points," which is how many [[DisproportionateRetribution 14-inch shells a ship can take.]]
-->'''Brian:''' [[OneHitPointWonder Every living creature is one hit point,]] [[FakeOutFadeOut The End. (fake ending card)]]

* Brian opens by informing us about the bizarre state of Fallout music and that [[BlatantLies it's the only thing wrong]] [[VideoGame/Fallout76 with Fallout right now.]]
* Brian notes that the Fallout universe having music from over 100 years ago as its only music would be like if the most popular music in 2019 was the Alphabet Song (which did come out in the 1800s), before admitting that it could totally happen.

* Brian brings up Red Eye from Fallout 4 and describes him as someone who can neither sing nor play an instrument. The caption that pops up after he says this implies that [[OhCrap he didn't realize that Red Eye is played by respected hard rock icon]] [[Music/AndrewWK Andrew W.K]].

* If you want to know what your name would be in a Hideo Kojima game, then you just need to complete Brian's [[BlatantLies simple, easy to use]] form.

** a 1/4 chance that you have to put "-man" at the end of your name (if your name already ends in "-man", you'll have to go to "-manman"),
** a series of chances for your name to start with "Big", "Old", or your body's current physical condition (Brian narrowly avoids adding "Bloated"),
** a 1/12 chance that ''you are a clone of someone else,''
** and a 1/100 chance that you ''[[CreatorCameo are]]'' [[CreatorCameo Hideo Kojima]]. The form tells you to go off and do all the things that Hideo Kojima does.
* The category devoted solely to horny names, (where the Naked and Solid descriptors are).

--> '''Brian:''' This is a pretty heavy one. I guess my greatest fear would be, like, [[LossOfIdentity not being able to remember my loved ones, and just like, losing that sense of self.]] So probably, I guess it would just be memory loss, is probably my greatest intangible fear. Nine, what is your greatest tangible fear? [[MoodWhiplash HOR]][[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes SES.]]
* One section requires [[AuthorAppeal listing your favourite film character]] [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative provided it's played by Kurt Russel,]] [[AuthorAppeal the last word in the title of your favourite Stanley Kubrick film, and an action that you would like to see Mads Mikkelsen do.]]

--> ''{{Beat}}''

-->'''Brian:''' This magnificent franchise pushes the boundaries of gaming by daring to ask the question "[[JustForFun/XMeetsY What if chess made you horny?]]"

* The dramatic shaving of the mustache. Compounded by the fact that there's [[ChekhovsGun a strong possibility that Brian]] [[DyeingForYourArt only grew the mustache before this season]] [[OverlyPrepreparedGag very specifically to lead up to this.]]

** Brian's first metaphor for Kirby is [[CapitalismisBad Capitalism]]. This falls apart since [[ARareSentence capitalism is not shaped like a friend]].

* "As I stood there, miles from civilization..." ''*[[BlatantLies Buildings visible in shot]]*''

* To get more information, he [[SchmuckBait googles "mario hyperinflation."]] [[note]]he was looking for ''economic'' inflation, [[HeadTiltinglyKinky but that's not what he got.]][[/note]]

-->'''Brian:''' Oh wow please do let me know the results
-->'''Nate:''' I've never seen anything so sad
-->'''Nate:''' [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome We're talking tens of millions of dollars in debt by death]]
-->'''Brian:''' [[{{Understatement}} That's no good]]

* [[ItMakesSenseInContext "If I no-scope and there's no one around to see it, does it really matter?"]]

* Brian's very first [[RunningGag Tangent Zone]] is solely to debunk the CommonKnowledge that Master Chief’s suit [[ADateWithRosiePalms jacks him off]].

* After acknowleding that the audience would be wondering why he doesn't play the ''other'' Crash Bandicoot games as well, [[InsistentTerminology Brian makes it clear]] [[CanonDiscontinuity there are only four Crash games.]]

* You can have one name or [[SerialEscalation seven]]. There is no in-between.
* It is entirely possible for you to ''[[CreatorCameo be]]'' [[CreatorCameo Hideo Kojima]]. The form tells you to go off and do all the things that Hideo Kojima does.

* As he covers the "buzzkill" archetype, BDG is devastated to learn that the character [[NamesTheSame Gilbert]] is an unemotional religious zealot who abandoned his family. The revelation that he looks like a red-haired Hanneman pushes him over the edge.

* After Brian lists all of the OSHA violations and the total amount of fines they would owe, he tells Masahiro Sakurai he will not make this public... in exchange for $50, because he needs it to get through the week, and Kirby's phone number.
