The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures

• Meta example: The recording set up, as shown on Stephen's Vlog.
• Running gags:
  • Upon reaching enough Force Gems to power up their swords, Stephen tends to announce that they've got their "(word that begins with 'j') Juice!"
  • One of the more common reasons for someone messing up is that they mistake someone else's player Link for their own.
  • Jon is the only one who doesn't Fail a Spot Check on a regular basis, much to his annoyance.

Episode 1: Lake Hylia

• Stephen sings in the intro. When he gets to the part where the four work together, Emile and Tim react appropriately:
  Emile: Boooooo!
  Tim: Teamwork?!
  Stephen: O-Okay, guys, guys, there's gotta be teamwork, dang it! If you don't have any teamwork...
  Tim: Yeah, right... Is that possible?
  Jon: You-You really are new to this channel, aren't you?
  Emile: He is new here!
• The guys take turns reading the story text as the start, but rather than letting someone else take over after his paragraph, Emile keeps going... and then criticizes the others for not taking over from him. Cue thirty seconds of them complaining about him not giving them a chance.
  Emile: "Every time I would wait for you to pick it up 'cause I saw you wanting to, and then you wouldn't, so then I would start talking, and it was right as I started talking that you would lean in."
  Jon: "You waited less than a second!"
  • Stephen tried to rerail the dialogue back towards the text. "Tried".
    Stephen: (over Emile and Jon's argument) "[C]hildhood friend Link used the power of the Four Swor- IT'S GOIN' BLACK!"
• After obtaining the Four Sword and getting swept away, Emile promptly makes a Link's Awakening pun. Nobody reacts to it.
• When Kaepora Gaebora appears before the guys, Tim begins to immediately read his lines quickly in his voice. However, because he is so quiet while doing so, he's practically drowned out by Jon, Stephen, and Emile talking about...morse code of all things.
• Stephen realizing that Link can hop while powering up the sword. The others join in; Jon stops and then tells everyone to come over.
• Emile (as Red Link) manages to pick up the Fire Rod... and Hilarity Ensues when he accidentally keeps setting every other Runaway Guy, including himself sometimes, on fire every two or so minutes.
  • As a result, Jon decides to vote Emile as a bother... only to vote for Tim instead by accident.^note Emile is usually player one, but, since first player is Green Link and second player is Red Link, he switched controllers with Tim to keep with their TRG colors. Jon forgot they switched while voting, and voted for player one, thinking it was Emile.
• Emile's attempt to read all of Tingle's lines in one breath.

Episode 2: Cave of No Return

• Since no one was particularly aggravating on the Cave of No Return, everyone just decided to mark some random person as a bother, then cancel that vote by mark that same person as being helpful... and, somehow, Jon earned 300 points out of it, Stephen won 100 points, Tim lost 100, then got them back, and Emile losing 500 points, ending with -400 points at one point.

Episode 3: Hyrule Castle

• Stephen tries to help pull a large lever... and ends up pulling a bomb instead.
• Stephen has a Call-Back to his BattleBlock Theater Let's Play, only this time with bombs rather than grenades. He is equally as helpful as he was back then, and easily earns Hero of Darkness with his destructive assistance.
  • Especially with the reveal that he killed the least enemies in the stage, which everyone at first interpreted as him not killing any!^* The person who killed the most enemies gets 300 points; second most gets 150; third gets 50; least gets zero. Seeing Stephen get zero points for kills made everyone assume he didn't kill anyone.

Episode 4: The Coast

• Stephen gets bombs again in this episode... And this is the level that introduces the Great Fairy, who upgrades whichever item someone is carrying. You can put two and two together.
• The guys dying 5 times. Here's the actual death count:
  • Tim: 5
  • Emile: 5
  • Jon: 2
  • Stephen: 4
• Stephen is the first death of the game, (accidentally?) blowing himself up talking to an NPC.

Episode 5: Village of the Blue Maiden (Part 1)

• Just the fact this stage is in multiple parts tells you something.
• The team spend FIVE minutes stuck on the second screen of the level due to an intricacy of multi-player.^note As a caption wall explains, one player must talk to an NPC, find something on the second screen and then that same player must talk to the NPC again to receive the item to unlock it. They eventually achieve this accidentally.
• After attempting to substitute a chicken for a Moon Pearl, Stephen sets off a Cucco attack. Emile saves them with a text box.

Episode 6: Village of the Blue Maiden (Part 2)

• The Shadow Link fight at the end has Shadow Link, and the guys, being able to go into the Dark World. When you're in the Dark World, anyone in the regular world looks almost exactly like Shadow Link to you. They decide to have some people stay in the real world and others go into the Dark World... and promptly have trouble actually hitting Shadow Link, instead trying to attack the shadow of the person in the real world. Hilarity Ensues as they constantly lose track of Shadow Link.
  • At one point, Tim is the one in the overworld, and the others are attacking him, and Tim doesn't think to mention he's being slashed by three shadows. Tim goes into the portal into the Dark World, which the others see as Shadow Link returning to the overworld, and attempt to follow him... only to find he's not there. Meanwhile, Tim appears to be shocked at there seemingly being three Shadow Links.
• Stephen doesn't even realise bombs were available in the stage until they hit a seeming dead-end. As such, he breaks his streak of winning the Hero of Darkness vote.
• Despite Stephen getting a cucco to steal Force Gems from Jon at the last possible moment, Jon still manages to get first place through sheer amount of Force Gems. He cheerfully attributes this to the shovel.

Episode 7: Eastern Temple (Part 1)

• Jon has difficulties picking up items when bombs are involved on two occasions. The first time, he drops a bomb and by mistake picks up Stephen, getting them both caught in the blast. The second time, while attempting to pick up a key, he accidentally picks up a bomb, resulting in a mild panic for everyone sans Tim.
• One room the gang comes across has four switches that each Link must step on at the same time to allow them to proceed farther. After a brief pause, Emile realizes nothing is happening because he is not standing on the last switch. A little while later, they return to the room, and Tim makes the same mistake!
• Stephen's, and later Tim's song and dance while waiting for Emile to light some torches.

Episode 8: Eastern Temple (Part 2)

• Tim trying to run away from a giant bomb... as in out of the room... while the other guys more sensibly run downstairs. Needless to say, Tim gets blown up.
• Emile's incredibly girly cry at the end of the episode, possibly from realizing that part of his GBA footage got corrupted.

Episode 9: Death Mountain Foothills

• Anything involving the house.
  Jon: "Guys, this is so stupid."
• At one point, Jon gets picked up by a large enemy that throws him at the spike barrier that prevents them from going to the next screen, causing him to glitch through it and constantly take damage. The guys' reactions to this sells it.

Episode 10: The Mountain Path

• While waiting for Stephen, Emile angrily yells "Steven!", and points out to a confused Stephen that it's a reference. Stephen thinks he's referencing his wife, as he apparently gets that tone a lot from her.

Episode 11: Tower of Flames

• Everyone constantly walking off, getting pushed, and shoving each other into the lava.
• Stephen's insistence throughout the entire level that the lamp will eventually be useful, because why else would there be one available? It never is, leading to getting Hero of Darkness for the stage. His reaction is the funniest thing ever.
  Stephen: "I HAD A LAMP! I HAD A LAMP! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU?!"
  • Jon is similarly peeved since he did all the work killing off the Dodongos as the only person with bombs and someone still voted for him as a bother.
    Jon: "Excuse me?! I had to fight the boss!"
  • Even better? It was Stephen.

Episode 12: The Field (Part 1)

• Stephen's delayed realization of who Malon and Talon are.
• The Guys get access to carrots that let them spontaneously create horses to ride. Utter chaos ensues, accompanied by Jon's Horse Song.
• The Guys spend forever trying to get past a log they have to pull from a cave, after they impatiently don't pull it far enough, but Emile manages to glitch through, and they find that it's only possible to glitch through if someone pushes them from behind, but they need all four Guys past the log to get past the next area, making it a "Shaggy Dog" Story.
• Jon, Emile, and Stephen start freaking out about a seemingly inaccessible at the time 1,000 force gem out in the open, yelling at each other to get to the next screen before Tingle takes it. Tim, however, rushes over to the trees keeping them from it and boomerangs it, getting it for himself. Everyone erupts in surprise, especially Emile.

  Jon: "Well, f***."

  Emile: "WELL PLAYED, SIR! Well played!"

  Tim: "F*** you, Tingle!"

  • As an added note to this moment, apparently the 1,000 force gems lying out in the open are too heavy for Tingle to lift and take away, which means that all the freaking out was unnecessary. But some could argue that this makes the moment more Hilarious in Hindsight than anything else.

Episode 13: The Field (Part 2)

• Stephen's reaction when the Guys enter a screen full of enemies while they all have shovels.
  Stephen: "OH GOD, WE DON'T HAVE WEAPON- oh wait we have swords."
• Jon's reaction when using the Medallion blows up the house in the center of the area.
  Jon: "YOU JUST BLEW UP THE HOUSE!"
• Tim's gas.
  Tim: "What?! Every single level, at the end of it, I fart."
  Stephen: "Yeah, and guess who's sitting next to Tim! Guess who knows about the end of every freaking level!"
  [Tim and Jon start cracking up]
  Stephen: "Oh my god, I can taste them. Like, with my tongue! The thing in my mouth! The thing under my nose! And it's SO HOT!"
  Tim: "I can't even laugh!"
  Stephen: "I'm hyperventilating and taking more in! It's like pure methane!"
  Emile: "He's beyond help. Well, Stephen..."
  Stephen: "Yes!"
  Emile: "I think we know why you're such an expert on explosives."
  Stephen: "No, Four Swords bombs got nothin' on this."

Episode 14: The Swamp

• "I'm just glad you got force gems and not a man-eating chicken."
• "That's right, you don't just vote for who's the ass, you have to vote for the good guy as well. Hard to tell on this channel."

Episode 15: Infiltration of Hyrule Castle (Part 1)

• Emile tries to make a reference when the Tingle Tower minigame sign says "no whining".
  Emile: "This is whin-" [enters screen with tons of enemies] "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNG!!!!!!!!"
• The guys have to sneak into Hyrule Castle again, this time at night with search lights a la Forsaken Fortress. They are captured sixteen times before they finally make it into the castle:
  • Emile: 3 ("Text box!! FREAKING TEXT BOX!!")
  • Jon: 3 (The first offender)
  • Tim: 6 (Breaks a pot after the guys have specifically mentioned that doing so gets you caught)
  • Stephen: 4 ("OH GOD I'M BREATHING NOOOO!!")
• The realization that there's an easier path after their 6th capture.
• Jon using getting thrown in jail to farm Force Gems.
• Stephen's genius idea to deal with the search lights:
  Stephen: "STAB THE LIGHT!!"
• On one attempt, Stephen gets caught because he lost track of who he was while swimming.
  Stephen: "I was watching it and was like: 'What idiot is that, he's stuck on a rock!', and it was me."

Episode 16: Infiltration of Hyrule Castle (Part 2)

• After struggling with the searchlights so much in the previous episode, the group suddenly come across another searchlight section and almost immediately get caught. They have a massive freak out, thinking they'll be brought back to the start of the level, only to find out there is another jail cell.
  • At one point, whoever is in charge of this cell lets Jon hang onto a key.
• The group's lament that the second jail cell doesn't have farmable Force Gems.
• Not only do the group need lanterns to finish the level, but they're required for the boss. Stephen is ecstatic.
• The Maiden's voice. The Guys claim that Link must always speak in a monotone voice while also trying to figure out exactly which of the Sailor Senshi the maiden most resembles.
  • Stephen then quickly starts talking about the importance of the lamp, insisting that Link get a tattoo of one on his forehead.
• Clearly stressed after such a level, the guys are discussing who to vote Hero of Light/Darkness. They reach hysterics when all four of them get Hero of Darkness. Watching carefully reveals Tim and Jon voted for each other, and Emile and Stephen too.
  • Jon has a freak-out after nobody votes him for Hero of Light, angrily saying that he carried the group through the whole stage. It's made even funnier by the fact that Jon's total score ends up being higher than all three of the other Guys' scores COMBINED!

Episode 17: Lost Woods (Part 1)

• The intro has Stephen describing the game as "largely cooperative." The Guys then start debating over what that means.
  Jon: "Is that before or after we try to murder each other mercilessly?"
  Stephen: "It's during!"
• At one point, Emile and Stephen are trying to get a treasure chest containing Force Gems. Jon tries to help out Stephen by carrying Emile away, but Stephen thinks that he's the one that got picked up. In the confusion, it's Tim who gets the chest.
  Emile: "See, Jon? Nobody's very observant anymore!"
  Jon: "I NOTICED!"

Episode 18: Lost Woods (Part 2)

• The group is faced with a Gohma, which can only be harmed by the bow. Jon is the only one with a bow, so he has to fight solo. Everyone is quick to notice how familiar this situation is.
• The Guys get shovels.
  Stephen: "Man, we gonna be doing a whole lotta digging."
  Emile: "A HOLE lotta digging!"
  Jon: "Alright, we're throwing him in the pit."
• Jon points out that the last enemy killed in a screen drops 100 Force Gems. Emile admits that he didn't know about this, which aggravates Jon due to the group already being on World 5, halfway through the game.
  • Stephen follows this up by pretending to notice that the Gamecube controller has 3 shoulder buttons. Emile is somewhat unsure if Stephen was being sarcastic.
• At the end, the Guys see that the next level is a town. Their reactions say it all.

Episode 19: Kakariko Village (Part 1)

• Jon is reading the Tear Jerker letter from a recently deceased woman to her grieving husband. While this is happening, Stephen can be seen hitting an annoying NPC with a rock.
• The Guys' amusement with being able to pick up thieves:
  • Stephen repeatedly whacks a thief into a fire, demanding he talk.
  • Emile: "I'm going to beat you up with my man!"
• The thief jail allows the guys to hit the imprisoned thieves with weapons. The Guys have some fun with this.
  • Emile also notes how much more effective this is than their prison.
• When Tim is having trouble with a shovel puzzle, Emile suggests that everyone else pull out chairs and watch Tim dig.
• Jon is having trouble reading some NPC dialogue, leading Emile to come over and read on Jon's screen.
  TEXT: "Wow. How did anyone see Game Boy screens back in the day?"
• Jon gets increasingly annoyed when the other Guys (mostly Emile) repeatedly take the Force Gems he had earned for completing quests.

Episode 20: Kakariko Village (Part 2)

• While Chuuga is talking to an NPC who says he can take his treasure, Jon and Stephen have already pilfered it.
• Jon's reaction after losing 1000 Force Gems to the boss (which Tim is quick to steal). The sound of the counters can be heard for several seconds. Afterwards, Jon gets a Level 2 Bomb for beating the stage and immediately goes after Tim.
  Jon: "I'm a little angry."

Episode 22: Temple of Darkness (Part 2)

• Emile manages to die 6 times and ends up with a score of -71 at the end of the episode.
• The simple fact that the boss battle here takes a solid ten minutes due to the Guys' inability to deal with Tennis Boss strategies consistently.

Episode 23: The Desert of Doubt

• A swinging underfoot platform presents the Guys with their most daunting task yet — walking slowly, and in unison.
  Tim: "Are you fucking kidding me?"
• Jon's continuing status as the Only Sane Man as the Guys repeatedly ignore obvious hints from the game, culminating in:
  Jon: [singing] "You guys are bad at exploring, you guys are bad at exploring..."
• Jon notes during the Lost Woods segment that the correct path is always where the wind is blowing from. The rest of the Guys react with mindblown awe that he noticed this. The best part is that an NPC that Jon talked to hinted at just that, but he either didn't pay attention and figured it out anyway, or was just screwing with the others.
• Stephen makes a Call-Back.
  Jon: "Have you ever heard Emile be hyperbolic?"
  Emile: "The Hyperbolic Time Chamber?"
  Stephen: "Never. Now is that a sex organ?"
  [The others all laugh]
  Jon: "No, that's a vernacular."
• Stephen comes to a realization on the results screen.
  Stephen: "I already know how this works: If I had bombs, I get voted down. And if I had lamp I get voted up. I don't even have to play the level anymore."

Episode 25: The Pyramid (Part 1)

• At the end of the episode, Jon opens a chest with a giant bomb in it (technically two), and quickly runs to the screen transition point with Emile... while Stephen and Tim keep items they got from chests over their heads^* Stephen learned near the start of the stage that you can't take damage while you have text on your GBA screen, like when you open a chest. This results in Jon and Emile dying while Stephen and Tim are unharmed, letting Stephen steal Force Gems from Jon and Emile... which Stephen admits is his reason for doing that. Emile and Jon get pretty angry at this^* there was a place they could bomb to escape to their GBAs, but they didn't find it until after the giant bomb went off.
  Jon: "We should move, we should mo—oh, Stephen, I fucking hate you right now..."
  Emile: "Stephen, Stephen, STEPHEN!!"
  Stephen: "Your money will be so great~!"
  Emile: "NO! You ass!"
  Jon: "You guys are fucking dicks!"
  • This is topped off by the fact that, after all is said and done, Tim asks if something happened. It's unclear if he's snarking about it, or actually didn't notice what happened. (The fact that he didn't join Stephen in looting Jon and Emile's corpses implies the latter.)

Episode 26: The Pyramid (Part 2)

• The Guys singing the Maidens' dialogue at the end of the level.
• When it comes time to vote, Jon sarcastically wonders who will receive Hero of Darkness, and Stephen reminds everyone that he had the lamp. However...
  Emile: "I didn't mean to vote for Jon. Shoot!"
  Jon: "Dude— are you fucking serious, Emile?? Are you fucking serious??"
  • Since Stephen also voted for Jon, Jon was the one who got Hero of Darkness, upsetting him even more.
    Jon: "You fucking assholes!"

Episode 27: Frozen Hyrule (Part 1)

• The guys completely fail to acquire a Quake Medallion (and to notice the alcove it's hidden in) until after they've killed off all the enemies they were supposed to kill with it (which they did not by removing the rock between them and said enemies to hack-and-slash them, but by throwing bombs over the fence). Then Tim wastes said Quake Medallion on some Terrorpins on a frozen lake the guys can't reach yet.
  • Even better, when the Guys do return with the key needed to get down to the lake, the slimes have reverted back to being Terrorpins.
• Apparently, Stephen is the master of entering holes.
• The guys all get Fire Rods, since they need them to melt the snow walls and frozen Force Gems. Of course, it's not long before they all begin setting each other on fire. Again.
• Stephen beating Emile over the head with a tree.

Episode 28: Frozen Hyrule (Part 2)

• "Don't stand next to me when I'm throwing a tree."

Episode 30: Tower of Winds

• When the Guys realize they need a key, Emile adds:
  Emile: "Maybe someday I'll sing in a key."
• "That's probably someone's dream. To have 7 women in their pocket."
• Steven insisting where to cut the video at the end.

Episode 31: Realm of the Heavens

• The very first thing Stephen does in The Realm of the Heavens — walk left off the side of the cloud and lose half a heart.
• While waiting for the others, the Guys start dropping bombs off the clouds for no reason. Emile then justifies this by claiming the bombs are falling on the Village of the Blue Maiden.

Episode 32: The Dark Cloud

• This is a 2D stage where the Links have to ride on clouds to take them to the next area. The first cloud starts to move when Jon is only slightly on it, making him float in midair.
  Jon: "I'm a GHOOOOOOOOOOOOST!"

Episode 34: Finale

• During the Escort Mission part of the stage, the Guys repeatedly and angrily note Zelda's status as The Load.
  • This turns into a theory that Zelda is trying to kill them by spawning enemies!
  • When the Guys reach the exit of the Tower, Zelda stops a few feet away. Everyone is in disbelief when they read her dialogue:
  Emile and Jon: "THE EXIT'S NEARBY!?"
• Jon ends the final stage with over 3,000 more force gems than anyone else.
  Jon: [awkwardly] "Good game, guys?"
  Everyone Else: [sarcastic laughter]
  Emile: "Let's get him. Let's get him. Let's... make him eat American food or something."

Shadow Battle

• Jon gets a carrot and rides into the portal expecting to be still riding on it once he joins back with the other guys, about to sing Horse Song again... until he spawns without it, much to his disappointment.
  Jon: Fuck yeah! Horse o'clock is now! Get ready for some action on a horse—where'd it go?
  Stephen: Dark World horse only!
  Jon: Aw, that sucks...
• After Jon spends most of the game pointing out how the others Failed a Spot Check, in this video it's Tim who's the only one to notice a giant bomb has appeared and win by default when he's the only one who hides.
• Emile constantly falling through the colour-coded tiles on the sky level, which nobody else has much difficulty with.
• One match comes down to Jon and Stephen. Stephen mostly runs away from Jon, then falls down a hole as Jon waits on a ladder to stab him... and somehow Stephen wins when they collide.

Tetra's Trackers

• Emile repeatedly points out how weird it is to have voice acting and free jumping in a Zelda game... making it very clear that this was recorded before Breath of the Wild.

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes

General:

• Emile and Tim constantly misunderstanding when Jon is trying to explain to them how to solve a puzzle.
• Having trouble using the totem mechanic, especially when Tim is on the bottom.
• Tim just generally not paying attention.

Episode 1: Finale

• Not even five seconds into the video, Emile already has a bad pun lined up.
  Emile: "...Eh, I'd make a Zelda pun, but I'm not gonna tri and force it."
• Once the guys start the game, they quickly realize that Emile had forgotten to restart his progress to go back to the beginning of the game.
  Emile: "Crap, I haven't restarted..."
  Jon: "You IDIOT!"
  Tim: "Oh no!"
  Emile: [laughing] "I thought I did it!"
  Jon: "You...We waited forever! You waited forever on us, and you weren't even ready yourself!"
  • Then, Jon chooses to import his save data, which he thinks is data from the demo. It was actually his completed game file, meaning Jon has to reset his game and replay the opening 15 minutes, delaying the gameplay for even longer than Emile did.
• Once they finally start, Jon and Emile begin to try to progress forward with the game in order to reunite with each other. Tim on the other hand, is more intent on scaring random birds in the hub world.
• While Emile begins narrating Sir Combsly’s dialogue, Tim (and to a lesser extent, Jon) begins making random noises and sound effects as soon as Emile finishes speaking.
• When the guys are talking to Sir Combsly and are about to name their characters, Emile's 3DS shows that the default name for his character was going to be MasaeAnela.
  Emile: "Pfffffffffffftttt..."
  Tim: "Uh oh. That was..."
  Jon: "...interesting..."
  Emile: "Okay, I guess I..."
  Jon: "Well, at least I know whose 3DS that is now."

Episode 2: Jelly Fresh

• Tim begins the episode by running around in circles and getting dizzy.
• Giving the "Legendary Hero" (old-school Link) outside the castle the voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and then Cartman.
  "Scramble zee fairies!"
• Jon, when getting the consolation prize from the treasure game:
  Jon: "I'VE GOT A BAG! Of disappointment!"
• Emile continually sprinting around town and running into things.
• Jon showing off an easter egg.
  Jon: "Before we warp into space, let's show off some things. Number one: run into a wall...randomly...a ball will drop."
• Tim and Emile are absolutely terrible at handling the totem mechanics at first.
  Jon: "Don't walk off the stage, that will kill us all!"
• Dying on the second stage right after Jon collects a heart.
• Emile can't figure out the camera and ends up taking a picture of the result screen.

Episode 3: Smells Like Team Spirit

• Jon's saltiness about how bad the reward for doing all the challenges is.
• The introduction of the bomb item.
  Emile: "Looks like one of us is going to be on bomb duty, thank goodness there's not a purple Link here!"
  Jon: "You say that but still, you can damage each other with the bombs, so...be veeeery careful."
  Emile: "Well, I guess that means I should be on bomb duty. I'm the most careful out of all of us, right!"
  Jon: "Oh boy, I'm gonna go grab that then before you do in that case."
• "That arrow was coming out of my crotch."
• Emile describes a poster advertisement he saw with very bad word choices:
  Emile: "This fall, Superman is coming in Supergirl."
• Jon has a lot of trouble trying to guide Emile and Tim.
  Jon: "Alright shoot that, then walk on my head-" *Tim throws Emile to the other side* "...that's not walk on my head."
  • And then the second time they attempt it, Jon accidentally throws them in the water instead of onto the other platform. Tim then throws Emile about 3 or 4 more times before finally getting it.
    Tim: "Oh, I walk on your head!"
    Jon: [after they finally succeed] "Guys we did it, we solved the third puzzle in the game!" [jumps in the river and swims off] "I'm leaving. I'm going over here. This is my new home now."
    Emile: "We all love each other, don't we guys?"
    Jon: "I already have a headache."
• Jon confuses Buzz Blobs with Like-Likes.

Episode 7: The Tri-Duo

• The confusion Tim has at the start of the episode over how many Friendly Tokens are necessary to make the Tri Suit, leading to him being the only one who does not have it when they start the level.
• Jon swearing is censored by a clip of Mario screaming.

Episode 12: Bitter Cold

• Snowball Ravine gets off to a great start...
  Jon: "Oooo, I just realized what stage this is, you're gonna wanna move."
  Emile: [moves...directly into the path of the oncoming snowball] "AAAAH!"
  • Soon after...
    Jon: "This is why I have trust issues."
    Emile: [giggling] "I thought you said "That's why I have trusty shoes" for a second-"
    Jon: [defeatedly] "Oh my god, Emile."
• Jon gets accidentally thrown off a ledge almost twice in a row. And then when Emile causes him to lose the jellyfish by falling on his head, Jon throws him into a pit intentionally.
• Jon when the boss appears: "SPOOKY MONSTER MAN!"

Episode 20: The Grand Ballroom

• The guys spend 3 full minutes at the beginning of the video hitting a ball in the lobby, trying to see how high they could get the numbers.

Episode 23: Colorful Personalities

• The guys notice that Emile's house is unusually full of invertebrates. Emile insists that it is regularly treated for bugs, and that the guy

  Jon: "Did it wear off?"
  Emile: "The guy was just here two weeks ago."
  Jon: "He did a terrible job, apparently. [Beat] Did he actually treat it to bring more insects in?"

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Running Gags:

• The popularity of Randomized playthroughs has completely confused Jon and Tim on where stuff actually is in the game.
• Also on the subject of running gags, Emile constantly mixing up the map and inventory buttons. And then he winds up actually mapping each button to its opposite...and STILL mixes them up again not long after.
• Emile's frequent brainfarts about forgetting to go certain ways or using certain items in certain situations that would require them, even though he went said way/used said item just a few seconds ago.
• Jon-as-chain-smoker-Zelda constantly pestering Emile/Link for lottery tickets and cigarettes whenever he goes back to the Sanctuary.
• All the deliberate misnaming Jon does for the character of Sahasrahla.

Episode 1: She's Smokin'

• Jon joking that they tricked Emile into playing a randomizer instead of the real game.
• Emile accidentally gives Zelda a really deep, raspy voice, described as a "chain smoker" voice. Doubly hilarious considering Stephen cracked the same joke years ago.
  • Adding to the hilarity is that, according to Jon in a stream, they had no idea that Stephen and Mal did the same joke!
• Putting $5 in a chest is apparently a coming-of-age ceremony in this universe.
• This exchange while the three are discussing how this playthrough of the game is going to work:
  Jon: "Now keep in mind, we're gonna do what we usually do when we guide someone through a single-player game they've never played before."
  Tim: "Laugh at them!"

Episode 6: Bookin' It

• On the way back to Sahasrahla's place, Jon misnames him as M. Night Shyamalan, leading into a discussion about his movies.
• Emile dies after running into a cactus, and Jon (of all people) jokes about it being 'Pokey's Revenge'.

Episode 7: Blind LP

• Emile somehow not noticing that he was taking damage from the rocks that spawn whenever a Lanmola would appear until Jon finally brought it up.
  • Even better? It turns out that this is what caused him to Rage Quit the game when he was 17, because he kept dying to them by never noticing the rocks hurting him even back when he played the game 11 years prior. He had always thought they were scenery effects and didn't realise they were interactive until Jon answered his question of what was "inexplicably" hurting him.
• While Jon and Emile are commenting on the Lanmola fight, Tim quotes Anakin's sand monologue.

Episode 8: The Rod and Mushroom

• Emile tells the story of why he never got into Banjo-Kazooie or played the sequel as a kid:
  • He couldn't find the molehill with the tutorial because he was so used to pressing the "A" button to talk in games that he never realised the "B" button is used to talk in this game.
  • He thought Grunty's Lair had to be the Final Boss area because it was too scary-looking, and spent hours running around looking for the entrance to the first world.
  • When he hit "Save and Quit", he got the cutscene of Grunty winning and thought it meant he had automatically lost the game^note Side note: When Emile mentioned how upset he was about all the progress he had lost, Tim can't help but laugh at the use of "progress"., and was so mad he ended up just returning it.
  • He wound up being so scarred by this experience, he ultimately never played the game again until he was 25... and decided to stop playing after dying with 98 out of 100 notes.
  • When Banjo-Tooie came out and his friends urged him to play it, he mistakenly read the box as saying "Tooty" and thought they had replaced Kazooie with her, and was so mad he didn't even pick it up. And for the unaware, Tooty isn't even in the game.

  Emile: Freakin' guy!
• While Jon's away in the bathroom, Tim spoils that there's a chance for Emile to get a bottle nearby, and agrees not to tell Jon, to let him think Emile found it on his own, and once Jon gets back, Tim immediately tells Jon what he did.
• When Tim and Jon break into song about how badly Emile is doing.

  • Leading to this magnificent conversation:
    Jon: "Wait, how did you make your friend voluptuous? Did you give them like..."
    Emile: "Puberty?"
    Jon: "Whoa! I was going to say surgery, but sure. Tell me, Emile, how did you force puberty on someone?"
    Emile: "I-I gave it to them for their birthday."
    Jon: "Ah, I see. When did you do this?"
    Emile: "Um, when I was less than 18, hopefully."
    Jon: "Good answer, good answer. Very legal sounding answer."
    Emile: "Well, we are in the Dark World, so I have to blend in."
    Jon: "No! Don't! Stop!"

  Emile: "Why does everyone want to be inside me?"
  Jon: "Fangirls, you're welcome."

• Jon and Tim were discussing prior how much of the field Emile was going to dig up.
  Jon: "Well, I can't tell if this was more than I thought you would be digging or less than I thought you would be digging."

• Emile and Jon discussing their "taboo games" (Paper Mario: Sticker Star for Emile, Yoshi's New Island for Jon) before devolving into reading 0/10 user scores for Sticker Star, including one where the reviewer gave a nine paragraph response. This gets even funnier when you remember that Emile was once similarly prompted to start writing an academic dissertation— still in-progress to this day— about why he disliked Sticker Star.
  • They drag in Tim, who finally decides for him, it is Mario Kart 64.

  Jon: [sighs]

Episode 33: It's Bombos-tic!
