* CarefulWithThatAxe: This situation involves {{Music/Pink Floyd}}, [[TropeNamer coincidentally]]. In his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfO1XhRob3c Karaoke Party]] video, when singing "[[Music/TheWall Another Brick in the Wall (Part Two)]]," he screams "HEY TEACHER LEAVE THOSE KIDS ALONE!" so loudly the game can't tell what notes he's singing. Later, the same thing happens in his explicit rendition of "[[Music/CelineDion My Heart Will Go On.]]"

[[DescribeTopicHere Describe Dunkey here]], or else [[NoIndoorVoice I'M GONNA HIT YOU WITH A WRENCH!]]

Jason Gastrow, A.K.A. videogamedunkey or simply "Dunkey", is an average YouTube gamer, posting reviews and Let's Plays of various games (from retro to recent), plus some of his shenanigans. He is best known for his VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends videos, which are primarily why he got so famous. One day, he created "Guide to Girls", a video about finding girls on League which is just as much about killing the girl he's trying to hook up with. It drew significantly more views than his other videos (over a million at present).[[note]]And even that's not his most viral video; that title goes to another League video, "Best Champion", which has over 2 million hits.[[/note]]From then on, most of his videos have been about League, usually commentary over him playing a certain champion, though he can play other games and you can expect his videos to be [[MindScrew mind-screwingly]] [[SurrealHumor surrealistically]] [[HilarityEnsues hilarious]]...[[NightmareFuel most of]] [[TearJerker the time]].

[[http://www.youtube.com/user/videogamedunkey Here's his channel.]]

----
!! This dimbus contains the following tropes:
* {{Adorkable}}: Nasally voice, nerdy glasses, you name it and yet he is deemed cute.
* ADateWithRosiePalms:
** The start of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEci3e8JPAU Vi-deo]] consists of him breathing loudly while the video zooms in on [[LeagueOfLegends Vi]]'s crotch.
** The opening "Beach Blast" takes this to the extreme, quickly zooming in on the more risque parts of various League of Legends art to the sound of rapid thumping. Dunkey even screams "DONE!" before each picture change.
** It happens again during his Videogame/BeyondTwoSouls [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZR0SNAthIU video]] during one of the game's [[ShowerScene shower scenes]]. You can even hear him whisper "Oh yeah".
* ArcWords: He uses the word "chalupa" often.
** "Pet me."
* ArtShift: "Monkey [[UsefulNotes/McDonalds McDonald's]]", "Smash Bros 4: Dream Roster" and "Dunkey's Language" are all fully animated shorts voiced by Dunkey.
* TheBard: His fictional musical support, Joey Bonzo, who is apparently a musical god and knows how to play every popular instrument of the 80's. In his videos, specifically his {{VideoGame/Super Mario 64}} playthroughs, he only plays a {{rimshot}} whenever he's around (most of the time, [[PutOnABus he is not)]]. Then [[BusCrash he dies]], [[DeathIsCheap comes back to life for one intro]], and is [[BlackComedy killed again by Dunkey himself]] because he was being an annoying jerk.
* BerserkButton: Whenever someone says Dunkey has anger issues.
* BigShutUp: When the Website/{{Akinator}} asks Dunkey if he has "problems controlling his anger".
* BlatantLies: His commentary is mostly this and {{Inherently Funny Word}}s.
* BigBad: Steinfield is this in [[RamblingOldManMonologue Dunkey's true story]] about VideoGame/MegaMan2. His evil deeds include trying to become [[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir The Fresh Prince]], [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises taking over Hawaii and blowing it up with a nuke]], [[Film/ChildsPlay creating an evil doll that kills people]], [[RuleOfFunny escaping the basement]] and [[VideoGame/MegaMan2 turning into an alien to try to take over the world]].
* BigNameFan: Dyrus loves Dunkey's videos, occasionally borrowing Dunkey's catchphrases during his stream and even playing together with him from time to time.
** In his second AMA video, [[http://www.youtube.com/user/gregidot Sky Williams]] was asked his opinion on Dunkey. He called himself a fan and said he'd like to collab with him. The two have since started playing together and appeared in each other's videos.
* BigNo: End of the Toy Story dunkview.
** When the Akinator correctly guesses [[{{Franchise/Pokemon}} Quagsire]].
* BitingTheHandHumor: The description for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZR0SNAthIU his Beyond Two Souls video]] reads, "In the next youtube update you have to solve 8 puzzles to post a comment." [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Most people say this was funnier than the video itself.]]
** This ended up backfiring on him during his "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MsTwk9X5es Brother Bears]]" video. Microsoft forced him to take it down since he had a deal to make a video promoting the game and they weren't amused with him making fun of the game.
* BlackComedy: Occasionally.
* BreathlessNonSequitur: Very frequently. Just one of many examples, one of his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZOlNmGRuDQ "I'm A Cop"]] prank calls takes an unexpectedly [[SurrealHumor surreal]] turn when he claims he's an undercover cop who will be waiting outside a Gamestop, wearing sunglasses and a chicken suit.
* BrokeTheRatingScale: On a regular basis.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: His skill level bounces back and forth between "troll" and "astonishing", [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQusm6rHRaY sometimes within the same video]]. Fans regularly express amusement that Dunkey is one of the few [=LoL=] players that can troll games and still win many of them.
** Don't let his personality fool you, he is currently in ''Diamond'' tier ranking.
* CallBack: "Bubberducky" was one of Dunkey's most popular videos, and he returns to it in his "Secret Character" video using an old commercial for the Gator Golf game. Of course, fans loved it. But how Dunkey executed the callback was the best part.
-->'''Dunkey''': B-B-B-GATOR GOLFING, GATOR GOLFING, GATOR GOLF! B-B-B-GATOR GOLFING, GATOR GOLFING, GATOR GOLF! In Gator Golf, you play as Gator Golf. But watch out for Bubberducky, [[ReallyGetsAround HE FUCKED MY WIFE.]]
** His "Best Class" video is literally a {{VideoGame/Team Fortress 2}} remake of his "Best Champion" video.
* CapcomSequelStagnation: In his Game Dev Tycoon video, he makes two sequels for his "Kill Butt 3" game: "Kill Butt 3 2" and "Kill Butt 3 2 : 2". The first sequel was a big success--the second, not as much.
* CarefulWithThatAxe: This situation involves {{Music/Pink Floyd}}, [[TropeNamer coincidentally]]. In his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfO1XhRob3c Karaoke Party]] video, when singing "[[Music/TheWall Another Brick in the Wall (Part Two)]]," he screams "HEY TEACHER LEAVE THOSE KIDS ALONE!" so loudly the game can't tell what notes he's singing. Later, the same thing happens in his explicit rendition of "[[Music/CelineDion My Heart Will Go On.]]"
* CatchPhrase:
** "Not even close, baby!" (has become something of a [[MemeticMutation meme]] for League of Legends players)
** "Watch out for my _________!"
** "...into the ocean!"
** "Nice try guy!"
** "Good thing I have my ____ move!"
** "It was Singed the whole time!"
** "Oh boy..."
* ClusterFBomb: In his Viktor video against a team of 5 [[MistakenIdentity Singeds]].
** Also his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd3aiNZzyuA League of Legends Season 4]] video is full of swearing.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: In "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MsTwk9X5es Brother Bears]]", the video that [[Creator/MicrosoftStudios Microsoft]] hated and took down, there's a scenario in which Dunkey sees someone hanging.
-->'''Dunkey''': [[BigOMG Oh my god!]]...Look at those red blankets over there, these are pretty nice.
* CrossOver: In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMcCKLmivHE one of Dunkey's videos]], he played ''VideoGame/GunsOfIcarus'' with LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}}, [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]], [[LetsPlay/ChaoticMonki Cryaotic]], WebVideo/PressHeartToContinue, the list goes on.
* CuckoolanderCommentator: Starting with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1krWkG5l_cU Part 2]], his VideoGame/MegaMan2 LetsPlay becomes a lengthy and strange story about his encounters with his arch-nemesis, Steinfeld, rarely saying anything relevant to the game. Many of the Youtube comments ask [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs what Dunkey was on]] when he did the LP.
* CurseCutShort:
** In his "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypTxCrZlmsE Ackbar: Dance Party]]" video, Ackbar says "IT'S A FUCKING PIECE OF SH-" before the video [[GainaxEnding abruptly ends]].
** In his "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahqOcapNi4w Hearthstone]]" video, Dunkey tries to get a break from dying in every game, so he plays VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 and says "Now this is a classic--". He then runs into a Goomba and dies, and finishes with "--PIECE OF SH-" before the video ends.
* DeadpanSnarker: When berating a League of Legends player or reviewing a bad game.
* DescriptionCut: From [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KndsrvsucH4 Best Video Game Music]] when he's criticizing a Franchise/StreetFighter song:
-->'''Dunkey''': Who makes this guy? He's a fucking bozo! You don't get shot playing Street Fighter! It's not that fucking crazy!
-->([[HypocriticalHumor cut to]] [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2 Mvc2]] [[HypocriticalHumor gameplay]] with cheering in the background)
-->'''Dunkey''': KILL DAT NIGGA! KILL DAT NIGGA! WHOOOO! [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch YA BITCH! YA BITCH!]]
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdnYy1b8KEY Die Sounds]], where female characters die. Loudly.
* DrivenToSuicide: Dunkey in his Draw My Life video, where he [[AssPull suddenly]] [[MoodWhiplash ends up]] [[spoiler:[[BlackComedy hanging himself]]. Not only that, but he draws "FUCK MY LIFE" nearby.]] If he intended for that to be funny, [[DudeNotFunny it wasn't]].
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Recurring character Joey Bonzo just stops showing up during Dunkey's Super Mario 64 playthrough, prompting Dunkey to decide he's dead.
* {{Dubstep}}: Dunkey tackles this in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCHVdq73o4s his "Dubstep Singed" video.]]
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Dunkey's Flash videos literally [[TropeCodifier codify]] this trope [[CrowningMomentOfFunny in the funniest ways]].
* TheEeyore: In his Mordekaiser video, where his self-inflicted punishments for failure escalate higher and higher.
* FaceCam: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_avgJJvgSc The Lion Book]] uses it, but Dunkey's mouth [[GagDub never matches with his voice-over]].
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tXKc_DrOXc "Did He Ryzed?"]] once the kids are locked outside, they become this. Towards the end, you can hear them say things like, [[BlackComedy "Is this a real gun?" followed by a gunshot]] and then another kid asking, "Did you died? Are you died?"
* GainaxEnding: Almost every other video has one.
* GodwinsLaw: In his "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI4shM8NlR0 Escape from Hell]]" video, most of his team gets caught in the jungle, prompting Dunkey to complain, "My team is Hitler on four computers."
** In the sequel video, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isVrIuraCs0 Escape from Gold]]," there is a player named [=SneakyAdolf=] who is farming minions during a team fight. Dunkey refers to the player as "the real Hitler."
* GratuitousJapanese: Parodied in his Garen video, which consists almost entirely of Japanese-sounding gibberish and phrases like "Puttemonapizza" and "[[CallingYourAttacks Banzai Blast]]".
* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: His Zac video has Dunkey insisting this after every AccidentalInnuendo.
* HurricaneOfPuns: His [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA1pmsOGv40 Prop]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1x8br9H1Z4 Hunt]] videos.
* HypocriticalHumor: In his Beyond Two Souls video, he does a voice-over for the horse scene. The man who's taking care of the horse says that white people can't work horses and that they are weak from their lives of luxury. This same man is white himself.
** A street guitarist in the same video says that white people can't play trombone because they are weak. Guess what race he's from?
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Most of Dunkey's League of Legends video names start with "Weo Weo"[[note]]pronounced [[ItsPronouncedTroPAY "wee-yoo wee-yoo"]][[/note]]. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with "Wuo Wuo Kong" and "Beo Beo Trungle".
** Dunkey's ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU'' video was called "[[StealthPun Wii U Wii U Mario]]".
* IncrediblyLamePun: When talking about Michael from [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV GTA V]] while he rides a motorcycle through a beach, a caption appears saying "more like Bike-el".
* InsaneTrollLogic: Uses this tactic to figure out who really founds and owns Riot. [[spoiler:It was Singed this whole time.]]
* KillEmAll: His videos of VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas and [[{{VideoGame/Hitman}} Hitman Absolution]].
* LargeHam: From time to time.
* LaughingMad: Towards the end of ''Weo Weo Caitlyn'', he starts chuckling, and it devolves into insane laughter and him screaming "DIE!" over and over. The video then [[MoodWhiplash abruptly cuts]] to VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld's end credits.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: In his attempt to "play" {{Runescape}}, he is met with a relatively long loading screen. Then his email validation fails and he has to resend it, only to be unable to find any code when he gets the mail. So he tries to log in with his Facebook account, which takes an hour without getting out of "processing". He then gives the game a [[BrokeTheRatingScale 10 out of 5]].
* MadnessMantra: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npC_lOcWAnU BAKE ME A CAKE.]]
* MaleGaze: In Dunkey's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln91ehUKSb4 10k-sub milestone video]] we get to see a lingering shot at two girls' boobs, plus Dunkey's [[DistractedByTheSexy mesmerized stare at them]]. YouTube responded by putting an age restriction on the video.
* ManipulativeEditing: Uses this often when he's about to die, complete with him saying "CUT THE VIDEO!"
* MeaningfulRename: One of the many things Dunkey does best. Just take a look at some of his video titles.
* MilestoneCelebration: Dunkey made a video for each 10,000 subs he received up until 60,000. He then made videos for 100,000 subs and 200,000 subs. Believe it or not, "Escape from Hell" was actually his 500k video (read the description).
* MondeGreen: Showcased in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpVG9eObxOM Misheard Champions]].
** Also used in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KndsrvsucH4 Best Video Game Music]]".
* MoodWhiplash: Instead of his usually quirky commentary, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koD8t93F1Co episode 20 of the Super Mario 64 playthrough]] has Dunkey bemoaning recent events in his life and sounding genuinely distressed at his situation for the entire ten minutes. Not only that, but the next episode was [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMZazO-P99o a sequel]].
** Given Dunkey's style of comedy, it's hard to tell if he's serious or not. Not that this has stopped the comment section from being flooded with [[CrowningMomentofHeartwarming well-wishing fans]].
* MsFanservice: Dunkey interprets a lot of female characters like this, and a notable example is Jodie from Videogame/BeyondTwoSouls. He is excited during the ShowerScene but let down when those pesky camera angles block his view.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: The characters in his VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird and VideoGame/SaintsRowIV gameplay videos are often naked if not scantily clad. This often paves the way to streaking sessions.
* NatureDocumentary: Parodied in his Olaf video.
* NoIndoorVoice: ''Dear god.''
* NonSequitur: Sometimes his tendency of making things up on the spot makes you feel like you're watching LetsPlay/{{Raocow}}'s foul-mouthed, deadpan, [[BlatantLies blatantly lying]] brother.
* NWordPrivileges: Despite being white, Dunkey has shamelessly used said slur in select videos.
** Also, at the end of his ''Videogame/GunsOfIcarus'' video, he says [[spoiler:his team won and began using slurs.]]
* OnlineAlias: When playing ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'', he becomes Meat Wad Sprite.
* OrphanedPunchline: At the start of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI4shM8NlR0 "Escape From Hell,"]] he says, "...That's why you don't see me stick my dick in a Chuck E. Cheese tofu dispenser."
* OverlyLongGag:
** From "Dunk's Top Ten Sports Games":
-->'''Dunkey:''' Number Eight!
-->(''ten seconds of silence'')
-->...C'mon!
** His entire "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1rgrDcPtBQ Bill Murray's Space Jam 10]]" video is this. Almost all the dialogue gets repeated many times over.
** His [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkJguTJ6Ysw Gex video]] is three minutes of logos.
* PrankCall: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZOlNmGRuDQ He]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_mdCi9fHxw does]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W7LztCEpA4 these]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECQKwvEoD8o every once]][[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r5sMN_QGQs in a]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6klZ4JF7K4 while]].
* PrecisionFStrike: Near the end of the Olaf video, which was devoid of swears up to that point, when [[spoiler:he loses to Kennen in a duel.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Dunkey:''' (in calm English accent) And that is why Kennen is considered [[SophisticatedAsHell The Fucking Filthy Whore of League of Legends]].]]
** Played straight at the end of G-Rated Lissandra.
-->'''Dunkey''': [[CatchPhrase Not even close baby]], you know this is the classic saying, you can't FUCK MY DICK OFF!
* ProductPlacement: Dunkey manages to do this with himself in one video.
-->'''Dunkey:''' After an (insert anything that just happened) like that, I could really go for a YouTube video. Let's all go to youtube dot com slash videogamedunkey.
* RunningGag: Dunkey sure loves Music/SmashMouth.
** It might have something to do with his obsession with [[WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} Shrek]].
** While playing Saints Row or GTA, he'll probably drive his car into the ocean. There's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcN7RP723eM a whole video]] featuring just this.
** VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry shows up a lot.
** He has a habit of spacing colons and question marks as seen in most of his video titles, including every League of Legends video he's made.
* RhymesOnADime: Even if he has to make up words. "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYG8almTvJo Kanye Quest]]" cranks it UpToEleven.
-->''The game takes place in the year of 2010''
-->''I gotta take the garbage out, this is who I am''
-->''Use the arrow keys to move around the room''
-->''Hit the enter key, if you pause it will resume''
-->''I'm making beats on the piano like I'm Beethoven''
-->''I gotta go write and make sure I turn off the oven''
-->({{beat}})
-->''I did.''
* RuleOfSeven: In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1PAAxVVw0A one of his videos starring Admiral Ackbar]], he explains to [[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir Uncle Paul]] that there are seven pool rules:
** 1. [[DeniedFoodAsPunishment No food, no drinks]]
** 2. [[NoTalkingOrPhonesWarning No talking]]
** 3. [[{{Irony}} No splashing]]
** 4. [[{{Irony}} No swimming]]
** 5. [[PrecisionFStrike Shut the fuck up]]
** 6. [[ClusterFBomb Fuck you]]
** 7. [[ClusterFBomb Shut the hell up]]
* TheScream: All he does while playing Videogame/{{Portal 2}}.
* ShamelessSelfPromoter: His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5lGCSx3K4o Promotional Campaign]] video in which he advertises his YouTube channel on ''VideoGame/CounterStrike'' servers.
* ShoutOut: A lot of them.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIJ54HCj_mY One of Dunkey's raps]] uses part of the infamous VideoGame/DonkeyKong64 rap.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFYcFDsmJac Another video]] has a very strange Music/SmashMouth parody with heavy WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} themes.
** He starts one of his Hitman videos by killing "[[VideoGame/StreetFighter T.Hawk]]". (Bonus points for added sound effects.)
** He says ''GTA V'' rips off VideoGame/PAYDAYTheHeist, [[VideoGame/WaveRace Wave Race 64]], and [[{{VideoGame/Pilotwings}} Pilotwings 64]].
* SophisticatedAsHell: One episode has him reading Tribunal cases, full of vulgarity and poor grammar, as professionally as he could.
* SuicideAsComedy: Occasionally. Most of the time [[DudeNotFunny it's not really funny]].
** In his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO7OrHtmtqg "Morose Mordekaiser"]] video, he comes up with increasingly more bizarre and convoluted suicide methods he will inflict upon himself if the play he's going for doesn't work. The most surreal one goes to...
-->'''Dunkey''': Oh boy. If I die here, I'm gonna build [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs two life-size animatronic T-rexes]] [[LudicrousGibs to rip me apart limb from limb]] while a team of NAVY Seals guns me down with a barrage of M16 assault rifles onstage during a [[Music/JustinBieber Justin Beaver]] concert and engraved on my tombstone, it'll say, "OH BOY I'M DEAD".
* SurrealHorror: After a series of hilarious League of Legends videos, Dunkey [[MoodWhiplash suddenly]] comes out with an incredibly creepy video with [[MonsterClown clowns]], an {{ominous music box tune}}, [[{{UsefulNotes/Satanism}} a Furby crucified on an inverted cross]], a [[ManOnFire burning]] [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo doll]], and ''much'' more. Want to watch it? Click [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O4SRcNBGp8 here]]. [[ShmuckBait Have fun.]]
* SurrealHumor: Obviously what he does best.
* TakeThat: In his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX1yuO5IZuw Team Fortress 2 video]] Dunkey says, "What's wrong with the graphics? Are we playing [[VideoGame/TeamFortressClassic Team Fortress Classic]]?"
** The video "Behind the Dunk" is a parody of the video style of another [=YouTuber=] named [=TechFlamer=].
** In his Game Dev Tycoon video, he literally makes VideoGame/CallOfDuty. The game turns out to be [[{{Irony}} a big failure]].
** After he acclaims ''GTA V'' for 3 minutes, [[spoiler:he gives the game a 0 out of 5.]]
** See BitingTheHandHumor.
* TalkingToThemself: The main theme in his Draven video, where he voiced the 2 commentators named "Bobby Tortilla" and "Dyrone Tonk". [[spoiler:The video ends with them screaming at each other.]]
** In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tXKc_DrOXc "Did He Ryzed?"]] he voices both himself and a few annoying kids in the background.
* TemptingFate: Near the end of the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3rwO0ndPKw "Um Jammer Lamma" video]].
* TrainingMontage: Dunkey makes one for Jodie in his Beyond Two Souls video.
* UnfortunateNames: Bill Fuck, who Dunkey thinks changes the YouTube layouts.
* UnusualEuphemism: Every other word out of Dunkey's mouth. For reference "Put 'em in the pizza" is about as normal as they get.
* WriterRevolt: Microsoft apparently paid Dunkey $700 to review Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter Microsoft clearly did not know a thing about Dunkey]], as he proceeded to make an absolute mockery of the game and even spoil the ending without warning. This lead to the video becoming unlisted, and eventually it got removed entirely.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With [=PaperBats=].
