Funny / MoonQuest

• Episode 1: Simon is startled by a spider and screams so loud he sets off a car alarm outside.
• All through episode 2 Lewis and Simon are poking fun at Duncan, who due to equal parts misunderstanding and poor directions has gotten lost.
  • Made even funnier when you realise that Lewis is getting a little annoyed at Duncan not following "simple directions" he's given him, while not even knowing where he is when he gives them.
• Duncan complains of being hungry, then immediately walks in the opposite direction from Simon as he tries to give him baked potatoes.
  • The reason he was walking away? He spotted some carrots ready to be pulled from the ground in the village, and only acknowledges Simon once he gets to them.
• This exchange between Lewis and Duncan about the directions.
  Lewis: How did he get lost again? Duncan, did you never get your map-reading badge in the scouts?
  Duncan: I did, and I learned that when I'm told to go west I go west, not south!
• Simon putting chests all over their base.
• In episode 9, Simon saying he's never seen so many zombies in his life. Not even a minute later, Duncan is frantically fighting of a horde of zombies and nearly dying.
  Duncan: Why is there so many?! *turns around, sees four more zombies* OH MY GOD??!
  ...
  Simon: Do you need help?
  Duncan: Holy shit- OH GOD THERE'S ANOTHER ONE.
• Episode 17 ends just as Simon accidentally punches through the roof of the baked bean fort's main room, and falls.
• Episode 19 has the longsword incident, and Simon accidentally saying "Baked Bean Fart" instead of "Baked Bean Fort."
  • Also from 19, this.
  Lewis: Do you think we ought to, um-
  Simon: Kiss?
  Lewis: -start hollowing out the *continues talking*
  Simon: What? U-uh, yeah. Yeah.
• The increasingly ridiculous hats they find.
• In Episode 24, Duncan falls into the Sludgeland quarry and dies. When they go back to try to retrieve his stuff, they find that the quarry has started picking it up.
• In episode 36, awesome music plays as Duncan assembles the rocket. When Duncan realises holding the rocket in his hand means that his character holds it above his head, the music stops and he bursts out in hysterical laughter.
• They livestream Moonquest on the 15th day of the 2013 Christmas streams. A string of increasingly epic fails ensues, from Lewis having connection problems to not knowing that the rocket ship doesn't run on coal to them repeatedly getting stuck in hostile worlds through the Mystcraft mod while searching for oil, all culminating in Simon failing to press space when prompted to slow down his rocket and crashing on the moon.
  • It wasn't Lewis having connection problems, strictly speaking. There may have been some of that, but the server was simultaneously being pummeled with fan-kids trying to join (because they had accidentally leaked the server IP), and at the same time, an actual intentional D Do S attack because some guy caught the IP leak and went to a 'hacker' (read: script kiddie) forum, posted the IP, and said "It's the Yogscast, they think they're funny but they're not, have at 'em".
• The adventures in Lovely Oil Land, a fire world.
  • For some elaboration; first Simon, then Duncan enter the dimension without a return book. As they enter the dimension, they discover that the air sets them on fire, zombies constantly spawn, there are huge seas of something that isn't water that might kill them and as they take shelter, the world begins destabilizing. "Lovely" indeed.
• Simon entering a rift to the regular world and not realizing it at first.
• The mutant skeleton derailing everything until they manage to kill it.
• Sludgepit 2 is a snowy fire word with meteor showers. Simon gets hit by one.
  • Duncan and Simon freaking out over the first meteor ponderously drifting past really sells it. Not to mention that they go from smiling at the snow to absolute panic, fleeing falling meteors and desperately trying to escape while on fire, all in the space of less than thirty seconds.
• During the live session of Moonquest, Simon discovers a massive oil spring, but realises that he can't take any back as he doesn't have a bucket. Lewis randomly starts raging at him with no warning.
  Simon: I'm nearly at the place. Oh, what's this? Is this oil here? Oh my god, there's literally oil in the goddamn ground here. Shall I just get a bucket- oh I don't even have fucking iron to make a fucking bucket.
  Lewis: [Slowly starting to lose it] I've got three buckets.
  Simon: There's literally oil here.
  Lewis: Just get the oil. Get a bucket.
  Simon: I ca-
  Lewis: SCOOP IT UP WITH YOUR FUCKING HANDS, AND JUST BRING IT BACK. BRING ME BACK A FEW HANDFULS OF OIL, I'LL PUT IT... UP MY ARSE, AND THEN WE'LL GO INTO SPACE. I DON'T FUCKING KNOW! WHAT ARE WE DOING? WHY ARE WE SO SHIT? WE'VE DONE NOTHING FOR LIKE FOUR HOURS!
  Simon: *cracking up*
  • In the Episode 46, Duncan gets trapped in Obsidian Pernis Land while mining for supplies to rescue Simon. Lewis goes in to rescue him, only to immediately notice that there is oil not ten yards from the spawn. Duncan and Lewis's exchange is priceless.
  Lewis: What's going on in pernis land? Is the sun coming up?
  Duncan: Yeah.
  Lewis: ...Is that oil in pernis land?
  Duncan: Yeah.
  Simon: Pernis oil.
  Lewis: There was oil in pernis land THE WHOLE TIME?!
  Duncan: Yeah.
• Episode 45: They finally get the rocket fueled and ready, the epic fanfare begins as the others wave off Simon as he leaves for the moon, the launch is successful, Simon gets to space and heads to the moon, and then He doesn't read the controls for the lunar lander in time and crashes into the moon, blowing himself up. You can practically hear the broken despair in Duncan's voice as he sees Simon's death notice.
• "My face is covered in pants."
• Episode 52: With Simon rapidly running out of oxygen due to an oddly not-working collection rig, Duncan is launched off on a rescue mission to make use of the the Mystcraft mod to allow them to teleport back to base, in a fairly well-thought out plan. Turns out he can't work the lander either, and crashes just as Simon did before, leaving him stranded on the moon as well.
  • The really bad part is that fans think Duncan might have made it if he had kept holding down the spacebar instead of pressing it repeatedly like Lewis told him to.
• Episode 54 features the most screechy, horrific version of The Who's Baba O'Riley ever, courtesy of Simon.
• Episode 55: Laser Turret. The banter between Simon and Lewis is pretty good itself, but the main focus of the episode has Lewis trying to set up the eponymous defence system. It doesn't work properly, ignoring a zombie that was nearby and outright vapourising Simon. The reaction is priceless.
  • 'Why did it shoot ME!?"
  Simon: (in between breaths of barely concealed anger) Lewis, be honest here. Did you program it to shoot me?
  • It later turns out that Lewis forgot to add Simon to a whitelist. All the while, Duncan is still trapped on the moon.
  Duncan: So how's work going on that rocket?
  Simon: (Angrish)
  • " Fuck you, Lewis! The Yogscast is over!"
• The editor has started adding comments in the chatbar.
• Episode 58: Lewis models his new armor, so runway music and lights are edited in.
  • Simon runs away because he doesn't want to build the rocket and tries to get Lewis to do it instead.
  Simon: It's not rocket...surgery.
  • Lewis figures out they had probably enough materials to build another rocket the entire time, which he would have figured out a lot sooner if he hadn't been messing about with nail guns and turrets and armor with motors in the crotch.
• Episode 59:
  Duncan: (While Simon is filling oxygen tanks for Lewis) Put helium in it so he talks funny.
  Simon: He already talks funny.
  • The good news: They finally landed the rocket properly. The bad news: Lewis forgot to equip the oxygen tanks before leaving so he suffocates and dies right as his rocket lands.
• Episode 60: The boys finally succeed in using the books to create a reliable link between the normal world and the moon, and soon decide to create a more ambitious moonbase. While looking through materials to use to plan the layout, they discover that they can make blocks of ham out of porkchops, and Lewis and Simon immediately settle on hambone blocks as a final building material, Duncan objecting in vain.
• Simon explaining his thought process. "Well, moon is dark. Moon need light. Me make light. *laughing* That's my dwarf processing. *in a silly voice* Me light. Light, Nether. Glowy rock. Me bring glowy rock to moon!"
  • And then the list Simon makes detailing how they are going to get materials for their Hambase, which gets progressively more incoherent.
• Simon: "Is it like marking our territory, except with crash sites instead of pissing?"
• Episode 72: They finally get out of the portal! And completely forgot that going one space in the Nether is equivalent to traveling 8 blocks in the overworld. End Result? Their x-coordinates are in the 4700s and the y-coordinates are almost 1500.
  • And then they all try to get home without getting (even more) lost.
• After the update, the world their base is in isn't the overworld anymore. So when Lewis and Duncan go to the nether and then try going back, they end up in a completely different world. Lewis' reaction is great.
• Everyone exploring a crevasse in the new overworld and digging up a bunch of random ores, including many new to the modpack that they don't even know what they are or if they're useful.
• Sjin arrives at Baked Bean Fort to join up with them. Shortly after he does, Simon punches him into a forge and causes him to die, complete with glitched death message.
• Simon constantly breaking the airlock for their new base, much to Lewis' frustration.
• The Shapeshifter mod causes much chaos as Duncan disguises himself as a spider, causing Simon to almost kill him. Later, they discover Sips frozen in carbonite and "free" him by destroying him and picking him up. Immediately after this, Sjin tries betraying the group and gets murdered instantly. Then Duncan kills Simon because he was disguised as a villager. Then the group recover the coordinates for the Jaffa Factory.
• Duncan's bad luck with the magic portals, which continues when Lewis punches him and causes him to go through one. Duncan's scream of frustration is priceless.
• Everyone arguing about how the witch should sound, while Duncan points out continuity errors.
• In Episode 100, Duncan encounters a Nitro Creeper and tries to kill it, dying instantly. He contests the death and claims it's utter bullshit, swearing that he killed it. A replay shows that he didn't. He got it down to 2 health points... at which point it exploded.
• Episode 101 has Lewis clearing out the overgrown forest around the base. He starts cutting one tree down, only for it to suddenly reveal itself to be an ent and nearly beat him to death, with only his armor saving him. He calls to Simon for help, while Simon just watches and makes a half arsed effort to get the killing blow and gain the Ent form for himself.
  • While Lewis is showing off the Ent form to Simon, a large bee suddenly swoops into the factory. Simon and Lewis turn on it with their swords and stab it to death. Only for the death message to reveal that it was in fact Duncan in a transformation of his own.
  • Duncan dying every single time he goes to the Nether. Every single time.
• Simon repairing the factory walls with baked beans.
• In Episode 105, the group prepares to launch fireworks to celebrate their interactive "moonsperience". At the end, the fireworks are launched without issue, and Simon climbs into their very first rocket as a ride. Said rocket is indoors. It doesn't have fuel, so everyone thinks it will be safe. It initiates the launching sequence with 7% fuel left, crashes into the ceiling and explodes on the floor, blowing up the entire factory, crashing the game, and killing everyone.
  • Strife: "Another fantastic success by the boys at Honeydew Inc."
• The entire discussion Simon has with Hat Films regarding a new plot of land, particularly when they try to scam Simon and he can still hear them.
