Funny / Voltz (Yogscast)

• Duncan accidentally types "cent" in the chat. Sips replies "fidy?", even though at that point the two groups had never met and Sips and Sjin were probably supposed to be keeping it a "secret" that they were there.
• Lewis and Duncan need leather. Their options; Scour the world for a cow and build a farm, cheat and load a stack in, or raid Sips and Sjin's headquarters. Duncan chooses the latter. And once they're done raiding they leave a Shadow of Israphel style exploding back door.
• Episode nine ends with them firing up the nuclear reactor, cheering as the power starts to flow, and the ending theme tune plays triumphantly as it fades to black... Boom. cut to the extended ending, with them trying to salvage their destroyed nuclear reactor, and arguing over who's fault the explosion was.
• When Simon shows up in Episode 10, he ends up becoming the Only Sane Man in comparison to Lewis and Duncan's trigger-happy Mad Scientist ways. He also is given the job of cow/sheep farmer despite the fact that he technically knows the most about nuclear physics out of all of them irl.
• Duncan makes himself a full set of powered armor and walks in on Lewis. Nothing happens for about a second, and then Lewis literally jumps back a pace in game, as though in shock.
• Voltz Special - The Bomb. A demolition test by Sips and Sjin goes horribly, horribly, horribly wrong. Hilarity Ensues.
  • Duncan's reaction to mining obsidian and then immediately jumping into the lava filled hole.
  Server: LividCoffee tried to swim in lava
  Lewis: Oh, Duncan!
  Simon: Wooooow. That wasn't good.
  Duncan: It- it killed the ground too quickly!
  Simon: It killed the ground too quickly?
  • "hey come check out our cool bunker, guys. I promise there's no crazy wormhole thing under our base continuously killing us"
  • Sips (in chat to Ridge): it was boddypen
  • "Sjin, I think this thing's going to just devour the whole server, and then you're going to get kicked out of the Yogscast. (Beat) So um, GG."
    • And later, after Ridgedog informs everyone that the blackhole is going to eat the world:
    Sjin: Oh shit. Oh no. Why? Whyyy?
    Sips: It's cos, Sjin, quite simply, it's because you are dumb as shit. That's why.
  • Lewis's utterly priceless reaction upon finally seeing what they'd unleashed.
  • A more subtly funny moment happens right after: What is Lewis' first instinct upon seeing a giant swirling vortex threatening to eat the world? Spam torches everywhere, of course!
  • Through it all, Simon's still working on his farm. "God, I've got like an orgy going on between sheep and cows, the world's ending. The world's ending, this is how I wanted to spend my last hours."
  • Sips and Sjin's defense in the face of what they'd unleashed was that they just wanted some copper.
  • Lewis and Duncan charge in to try and set off an antimatter bomb to cancel out the red matter vortex. Lewis eventually succeeds, repelling the vortex to disappear into the distance. The day is saved. Sips and Sjin survey the damage and complain about how all the paintings have been sucked off their walls. Then Duncan makes an announcement.
  Duncan: Okay, I've set [a bomb] off.
  Lewis: Stop it Duncan, stop setting things off! Don't set anything else off!
  Duncan: [The vortex]'s gone off now?
  Lewis: It stopped, I stopped it.
  alarm siren
  Duncan: Well I've already set this off! How do you stop it?
  Lewis: I, st- (cut off by howling whistling noise)
  Simon: What?
  Lewis: Duncan! What are you s-
  THWOOM
  Sips_ hit the ground too hard
  Lewis: Um.
  several seconds of shocked cackling
  • Most of the base was actually spared, Sips just happened to be standing on the bit that wasn't. Ironically, the area most damaged by the fiasco was the Shipping & Receiving station, where they used "Sipsco deliveries" as an excuse to cheat. In short, the bomb destroyed their supply of spawned items.
  • Ridgedog begins using Rejuvenation Missiles to fix the damage, restoring targeted areas to how they were at the world's start. Duncan follows his lead, but hits Sips and Sjin's base while they're inside it, restoring the mountain that used to be there. Lewis, Duncan and Simon see their death notification and crack up.
  Simon: That's karma, motherfuckers.
  • The best part is that even after all this, the vortex was never truly destroyed, but only got kicked into an unloaded chunk. It's still out there, waiting for someone to uncover it, so it can resume devouring the world. Sips and Sjin have already planned on heading that way to find a place to build their new secret base, because Who Would Be Stupid Enough? to follow a world-eating wormhole?
• Not quite as funny, but in the first nine episodes, Lewis and Duncan had an iron golem that had apparently been left by their bunker's previous Russian owners, who they dubbed Comrade. Early on, they accidentally trapped him in the basement level, where he was utterly useless from then on, and quickly forgotten. In episode 14, while Duncan returns to the bunker to sort out the nether portal, Comrade suddenly emerges from behind it and curb-stomps a few spiders that got too close. Neither Lewis nor Duncan had a clue how he got out of the bunker.
• At the end of episode 17, they test start the fusion reactor, with an appropriate amount of ceremony as Lewis puts in the deuterium cell. After about a second of running, they suddenly notice the reactor has vanished and everything under it is on fire...
  • Duncan builds a plasma cannon, goes mad with power, and lays waste to everything outside the bunker. Including Simon, who he then chews out for not dodging the blast.
• And in 18, upon getting it working, Simon accidentally lets a creeper in and it blows up the now intact reactor.
  Lewis: Simon, I'm going to kill you.
  Simon: Look, it's-
  Lewis attacks Simon with a paxel
  • Duncan trolling the others by firing off a harmless but loud explosion whenever they're working on delicate equipment.
• Duncan finds a patch of mycillium outside, and said he thought it was contained underground. the rest of the episode sees Lewis turn more than a little frantic. And then Duncan finds a whole tunnel of the stuff
  • And then it's revealed on Sips and Sjin's voltz that It was them and Ridge that opened it up to spread to troll them.
• In Part 19, Lewis tells Simon and Duncan to get back into the bunker, and to not lead any Creepers into the bunker while they were at it. Immediately Simon spots a Creeper, and silently and intentionally lures the Creeper into the bunker with him. Hilarity ensues.
• The test firing of the thermobarric missile in episode 20 completely destroys the hill where the peace treaty was kept. Apparently they were all expecting just to set the area on fire but not harm it, and we subsequently get his gem;
  Lewis Who would have thought that a missile would blow everything up?
  • Later they're discussing what other missiles they could use and what to shoot at, and Simon and Lewis bring up the various things banned by the peace treaty. Duncan then points out that it doesn't exactly apply because the treaty and all proof that it was signed had just been blown up...
• Part 21, antimatter, antigravity missiles, and Simon's Floating Farm.
• Part 24, After the tense build up of the missile falling on Duncan it turns out to be a chemical missile so Duncan is just poisoned. Meanwhile, Simon explodes for no apparent reason Later on, the group retaliate with a nuke, which with the music they set it to comes off as a crowning moment of awesome. With the music still playing in the background, the missile comes down so far from the tree fort that it is entirely unaffected, instead and blows up a random stretch of sea nearby
  • After the first missile, Ridge launches an Ender Missile with transports Duncan to The End... where he promptly dies in the void, losing his super advanced power suit again.
• Ridgedog's Boss Banter between episodes 23 and 24 is pretty funny. Especially after he gets defeated by Simon. We don't see exactly what happened to him, but his Big "NO!" is followed shortly afterwards by "Where in the hell am I?". Then, after the nuke hits there's an unexplained message about a self destruct sequence. Ridge's reaction;
  Ridgedog: Oh dear.
• Epsiode 25 starts off with a cut, presumably so Ridge can stop his self destruct from going off prematurely. Ridge had to step away for a bit, and Lewis decided to start recording before he got back. By the time Ridge gets back on, his entire base is just one giant hole in the ground.
  Ridgedog: wat.
  • As Ridge's self-destruct sequence activates, Simon panics and runs through a side door. Which leads to the chamber where the active explosives are sitting.
  Simon: I'm guessing this isn't the safest place to be.
  • And then Duncan walks into the same chamber.
  • Lewis starts yelling at them to flee, and Simon runs in blind panic. Duncan, on the other hand, complains they haven't had time to salvage anything
  • And when he stops to salvage some missiles, he doesn't waste time opening the chests; he shoots them to blow them open
  • Duncan and Simon stumble upon a small set of prison cells, with levers that spawn animals. Simon keeps spamming the wolf lever, causing Duncan to have to break the cell open so they don't all get crushed. Simon keeps spamming it, so Duncan fires his bazooka at them. One survives. Although it's poisoned.
  Simon: One survived?
  Duncan: Well, it just died.
