    You could do a whole Oddly Familiar with the character designs in the Metal Gear franchise alone.

    An early Family Guy episode where Meg gets a makeover and the family forms a band has them singing a song that is very similar in both melody and lyrics to the main theme from Sonic Adventure, Open Your Heart by Crush 40.

    Remembered another Oddly Familiar find I have noticed. The 4 letter buttons on the right side of the SNES, Game Cube, Wii-Classic, Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One controllers at least. All these controllers use the same 4 letters for each button on the right side: A, B, X, and Y.

    I'd always wondered why they called the Nunchuck's button "Z" despite no X or Y buttons on the Wii Remote, and it's such a Nintendo thing to do, to recontextualize an old design idea like that

    • @Gamedraco

      On the N64 controller similarity to the Wii Ninchuck, the Z Button on the N64 Controller was located extremely close to where it is located on the Wii Ninchuck.

    This is one Oddly Familiar story that I find too good to pass up. It involves the Street Fighter 4 Character Goken, a Street Fighter 2 prank, and a duffed original translation into English that took on a life of its own. In the original English translated Street Fighter 2, Ryu's Victory Quote was "You must defeat Shen Long to stand a chance." What Capcom meant to say and was fixed in later releases of the game was "You must defeat my Shoyruken to stand a chance. However, the Shen Long duff lived on and became even more popular when a prank article mentioned "Shen Long" as an unlockable hidden character and fight under certain conditions. It became such a popular fan legend that Capcom created Goken for SF4 based on this prank and fake legend to solve this fiasco.

      It actually is. Dreams Come True did some of the music for Sonic 2, and their song was instrumentalized for Sonic 2.

    I never knew Jack Black was in the Pitfall Harry commercial. I've never seen it since I didn't grow up with the Atari. 😯 But as soon as you mentioned it, I knew it was him because of his jawline and eyebrows - just younger. Was hard not to see it at that point. 😅

    I wouldn't just assume people were ok with their footage being stolen and broadcast without permission and then having a copyright claim opened against them just because they received more views or attention afterwards.

    • @uncannyx
      @uncannyx  5 років тому +1

      Imagine you have a video with a few thousand views, maybe even 50,000 or 100,000 views.... and now all of a sudden a few million (it's at 2.5 million views now)... all of those $$ in your pocket i am sure helped ease the pain. You can also say in a way, you made it in a family guy episode. and it was only some gameplay, it's not like his voice, face, and hundreds of hours went into the video

      @@goatbone The copyright claim is the only part that's reasonable to be even remotely upset about, and that one was revoked so who cares? Them using the footage in the first place is honestly not something any Let's Play (etc.) channel is in any position to complain about. I doubt the guy got an official go-ahead by Tecmo to use their game in his footage so why does he have to give his okay for someone else to use a small snippet of said footage?

      @@Pandsu Honestly I don't know much about ownership when it comes to video game footage, especially because different countries have different laws but I see automated copyright claims as really problematic. Isn't this the same as falsely accusing someone of a crime? At the very least it is favouring a big corporation and penalising someone with little power.
