Running Gag / NicoB

Go To

Nico has had several in his LPs, but here are only a few standouts.

  • General:
    • If a character says anything along the lines of "I feel something in my heart/soul/mind/etc", expect Nico to replace it with "I feel it in my balls."
    • When Nico finds a character sexy, he will often recall humorous imagery of this character rubbing cocoa butter all over their body. This, of course, is only done in jest or even in admiration for a character's sexiness. Good examples are Godot from Ace Attorney, Yu Narukami from Persona 4, and Ansem from Kingdom Hearts.
    • [Nico gets a puzzle or a choice correct] "Hot dog!" [hot-dog related picture flashes on screen]. The picture part of the gag would die down after a while though.
    • Anytime a character begins to become epically powerful, he refers to it as "ULTIMATE DEMON POWER"
    • The time has come and and so have I!
  • Virtue's Last Reward: If Sigma or Nico made a pervy joke, Nico would sing "Go Go (insert word here, usually Horny) SIGMA!" to the tune of the Power Ranger's theme song).
  • Ace Attorney:
    • At the start of most cross-examinations, as the images of the current playable character and their opponent cross the screen, Nico will yell "Bring it on, X!" While the "X" varies, it is most often some joke centered around the opponent, or "Edgeworth", even when the opponent is not Edgeworth or he is currently playing as Edgeworth.
    • Ace Attorney Investigations: Whenever he examines an area where Edgeworth zooms in and says the same line, he says "I won't rest until I've inspected every suspicious-looking nook and *most interesting item of note*"
    • Whenever connecting logic, he says "Go for it! Connect (insert word here), referencing an old Connect Four ad.
    • The intros to the main-series Ace Attorney games always involve doing something to people. Specifically, "yelling at people", "pointing at people", "staring at people", "screeching at people", "listening to people", and "channeling people".
  • Danganronpa:
    • Anytime hope or despair is referenced (even in other franchises), expect Komaeda or Monokuma to appear, maybe even at the same time.
    • Anytime a character says something similar to "still got a ways to go", Nico will whip out his Ryoma Hoshi voice.
    • Nagito Komaeda loves bagels.
    • Miu Iruma throwing up whenever she laughs.
  • Like a Dragon
    • Excluding Yakuza 0 and Lost Judgment, the intros for each series have had Nico referencing the series' infamous karaoke mini-game and the songs within. Kiwami featured 24-Hour Cinderella getting stuck in his head, Kiwami 2 had Nico sing part of Bakamitai with a funny image replacing the photo on the bar table, and Judgement had the end of Judgement-Shinpan play.
    • Before the conclusion of Nico's Resolve LP, in Lost Judgment, one of Yagami's generic voice lines happened to sound like "Naruhodo"Explanation, and so Nico would quip about Yagami wondering what the attorney is doing.
  • In his Kingdom Hearts LPs, if the criteria for a counter from a previous game in the series is fulfilled, sometimes said counter will reappear with a ludicrously high number.
  • In both his Persona 5 and Persona 5 Strikers series, Joker would have a humorous last-minute thing he needs to do (or simply wants to do) when Morgana asks if he's ready for something.
  • Xenoblade Chronicles 2:
    • "Rex and his big stupid pants"
    • Party members interrupting Nico's intros whenever the time ticked to morning or evening. This one carried over into Xenoblade Chronicles 3, with the party's idle animation voice clips doing the same.
    • Various characters reacting to KOS-MOS, such as a random Indoline guard getting surprised seeing her, or Zeke's father stating Zeke could only come back home if he awoke her.
    • "Singing" the xenoblade chronicles 2 battle theme but you won't forget it.
  • JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:
  • The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: Mailboxes pulling guns on Link.
  • Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir: The protagonists bullying the shopkeepers.
  • Persona 3 Reload: Bizzle taking massive shits.
