and considering he gives you the item required to make every area of the game easier as well (via granting more flasks) he really is a "here, here's one on us" energy boss.
Well, he isn't actually a boss, just a random dude who was given a name and a health bar as a joke. Apart from that, the game doesn't really set him up as a boss either, there's no quest objective or narrative bit about him and you don't walk up into a boss-arena like area or anything like that, he's just a random dude you meet in the corridors of the base. Even his name would strongly imply that he is just a random hard-working grunt without any special fighting capabilities if it weren't for the fact that random grunts usually don't get their name displayed above a seemingly big health bar.
How about on the classic Spider-Man 2 when you finally get a one vs one with Mysterio as he's just robbing a store. He has this huge buildup of a life bar (after having put us through some seriously challenging levels) and then you hit him..... It's over.
Electrocutioner is a false boss, then your excellent struggle against Deathstroke, the actual boss. A fun but difficult starting point for an underrated prequel.
Rob's performance this past quarter is exceeded only by his potential for even better performance in the future. He additionally has met all of his S.M.A.R.T. goals and is on track to set a new annual record (currently held by himself).
Yes! Finally a list like this, and yet disappointingly it did not include the boss I have always wanted to be included on such a list. My inclusion, is Gnasty Gnorc, in Spyro the Dragon. He is like Scar in The Lion King. He has the facade of being big and tough, but needs to be behind his minions to have that image. Gnorc starts by being petty girl-offended by the dragons not liking him, and Gnorc doesn'teven dare confront the dragons, but turnedthe dragons to stone from afar... far afar. When that final boss is confronted, what does he ever do? Retreat the zen away. Multiple times, mind you, untill there is no more falling back, all that is left to do, is for Spyro to spew fire on him just once, no resistance, and Gnorc is owned. Talk about a character being so tiny, he needs to step on others to merely feel big.
The moment I saw title of the video Electrocutioner come to my mind. Like, it has to be on the list and sure enough it's on number 1. Love that game soo much.
I was watching your older videos, and there was one from 6 years ago that was titled along the lines "Parts we dread in games we love" I'd like to suggest "Parts we play the entire game for". Examples: - The Ashtray Maze in Control - "Don't Fear the Reaper" in Cyber Punk 2077 - The bathroom scene in Deadpool (You gotta let it drag out)
Hello, you've caught me realising this was the spoiler Alex gave me on stream yesterday, after pointing out Electrocutioner is a terrible boss they should have in the Boss Busters series.
Boss: now you will meet your doom! Me: not if is stand awkwardly on this rock, wedged next to the wall Boss: hey wait, I can't hit you there Me: prepare to meet your doom!
I thought, 'Quiet?! That lady perforated my spleen more times than I can count.' And then the box-trick... you could have ten friends over for fondue with that cheese. What the hell? XD
Many bosses that end up being easy usually have huge build up and look intimidating but then go down like a pitiful whimp. Pretty much follow the phrase "Style but no substance."
Speaking of Dark Souls, shoutout to Ceaseless Discharge, who has a built in exploit where you can trick him into jumping out of his boss arena, leading to him hanging over an instant kill pit that you can smack him into
Cameo By Alex.. Two Thumbs Way up. Rob you never cease to amaze on these Friday Features keep up the good work. One day Friday Features will be as synonymous as Manic Monday, Taco Tuesdays etc.
I did not know about that trick with Quiet, nice find! Alex playing next to you had me laughing 😅 Pinwheel is far from the easiest Souls boss - he exists in the same game as the Iron Golem and the Taurus Demon, both of which can be dropped to their deaths. If I had to pick an FF boss to demote, it would have to be Gerogero from FFVIII or the final boss of FFX. Both of them can be instantly defeated using a phoenix down, although you have to zombify the FFX one first. When thinking about easy bosses, my mind goes to "the Congregation" from Dark Souls 2, which is exactly what it sounds like... A bunch of peasants huddling around the Prowling Magus, and someone thought it was a good idea to make this a double "boss" fight... except peasants are the complete opposite of bosses and the Magus himself is slow and weak. For my final entry, I thought I'd pick a fight from RE4 remake: El Gigante. He may look big and strong, but once his parasite comes out of his back, he needs exactly one magazine from the TMP submachine gun to drop dead. No climbing up with a knife, no wasting precious shotgun ammo, no knocking him down more than the very first time. The elites from the island are harder to deal with, so why should he be a boss?
Hey! I am still waiting on the last promotion you promised me when I complimented Rob and the Friday Feature. I am not giving anymore compliments until I see a promotion.
Idea for a List Feature I've been waiting to share since last week: 7 Weaknesses Bosses have (that you should totally exploit) For example, throwing an x-potion on enemies with Zombie-status in any FF game.❤
I loved that alternate way to defeat Quiet. I already hate the sniper fight with The End and try to avoid it at any cost. The fight with Quiet isn't any better. In the extreme version of her battle even the supply drops don't work all the time either as she's getting away too fast, even when you try distracting her by drawing attention to your position.
Vergil from DMC 3 is pathetic when you realize that all but one of his attacks can be dodged by simply jumping and that last attack can be dodged by casually walking diagonally towards him
Hello, you've caught me catching Rob not being caught for a change.
Sooo, when's the video about the regular baddies who should be promoted?
Runebear comes to mind
Next week maybe..
the divine beast dancer enemies in enir ilim
Rick the Door Technician. I know he technically _is_ a boss, but I'd love him to come back as a bigger boss in the next one.
Maybe do NPCs that should have been the main character of their own game?
Hello you have caught me waiting for the best series on youtube.
Well, if you consider that Delsin is an anthropomorphised rodent version of Rob, then yes, Rob did all of those things. 😂
5:29 You say he's easy, but I saw your health bar there😂
Pinwheel is like the devs feeling sorry for you. "You've been through so much, have an easy boss"
and considering he gives you the item required to make every area of the game easier as well (via granting more flasks) he really is a "here, here's one on us" energy boss.
They also give you one of the strongest summons in the game to end him
Rick The Door Technician from Jedi Survivor is my pick :)
Where's Rick the Elevator Technician?
Justice for Rick!!
The stats show he actually beat some players.
Well, he isn't actually a boss, just a random dude who was given a name and a health bar as a joke. Apart from that, the game doesn't really set him up as a boss either, there's no quest objective or narrative bit about him and you don't walk up into a boss-arena like area or anything like that, he's just a random dude you meet in the corridors of the base. Even his name would strongly imply that he is just a random hard-working grunt without any special fighting capabilities if it weren't for the fact that random grunts usually don't get their name displayed above a seemingly big health bar.
I love Delsin. He’s my spirit animal. 🤗❤️
So glad he’s been back this yr along with Friday features
Yee@@Juice_Drago_13
I really enjoyed the pronunciation of Ornstein and Smuff 👌
Waited all week for this 😊
“Puts the double A in triple A gaming” 😂😂😂
How about on the classic Spider-Man 2 when you finally get a one vs one with Mysterio as he's just robbing a store. He has this huge buildup of a life bar (after having put us through some seriously challenging levels) and then you hit him.....
It's over.
I feel like Rosie and Alex suggested this one to hint at people for bin selections... 🤣
All bosses are too easy to the Boss Busters.
The One Reborn from Bloodborne. Quickly went from “I have to fight that?!” To “…that was it?”
I love the laughter in the background at the 2:46 mark. Makes this video even more wholesome!
The Friday Feature is always the highlight of my week ❤ I always look forward to it!
Really, Rob! How dare you keep stealing Dave's biscuits. 😤
Electrocutioner is a false boss, then your excellent struggle against Deathstroke, the actual boss. A fun but difficult starting point for an underrated prequel.
To be fair, even in the game the Electrocutioner does get... er... "demoted"
I just thought he was brought in as a funny gag. The build to him is so well thought out for him to get 1 hit KO'd is just hilarious.
Robs Friday features are the best they've ever been these days :)
I must say, Rob absolutely Wearing that shirt. He looks fantastic.
Rob's performance this past quarter is exceeded only by his potential for even better performance in the future. He additionally has met all of his S.M.A.R.T. goals and is on track to set a new annual record (currently held by himself).

These list features are like comfort food. They’re never bad and I can always go for more
Poseidon being on this list is crazy. Play GOW3 on Chaos or Titan mode and you'll see Poseidon is well deserving.
I struggled with Poseidon more than any other boss 😅
Even if someone doesn't think it's hard (it's definitely hard enough for a tutorial boss), everything else about it also makes it worth being a boss.
The moment I saw title of the video Electrocutioner come to my mind. Like, it has to be on the list and sure enough it's on number 1. Love that game soo much.
Same. Arkham Origins is one of my favorite games. But Electrocutioner being a no bossfight feels cheap.
I recognise the back of Matthew's head in the opening skit.
It's 3.20 In the am here in nz and I think this is gonna b the best part of my day! 😂
I was watching your older videos, and there was one from 6 years ago that was titled along the lines "Parts we dread in games we love"
I'd like to suggest "Parts we play the entire game for".
Examples:
- The Ashtray Maze in Control
- "Don't Fear the Reaper" in Cyber Punk 2077
- The bathroom scene in Deadpool (You gotta let it drag out)
Hello, you just caught me enjoying the Palmer mention after 100%ing rebirth!
In the firsr MGS on PS1 I always used remote controlled missiles on Sniper Wolf. She still had gun shot wounds in the cutscene tho.
Wasting processing power on crack rendering... never heard that sentence before in my life, but I like it!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Funny as anything I look forward this every Friday 😂😂 have a great weekend everyone
Loving the shirt today!
That's right Rob, no glove, no love! 🤣
😂😂
For us Americans in the comments it was difficult not to make a JD Vance reference here
5:22 sir gideon ofnir definetly did not attend this meeting 😂
Can we just acknowledge how suave Rob looks in a shirt (bonus points for it being ironed too 😂)
Delson is something that I missed from these videos. Glad to see his return :)
Hello, you've caught me realising this was the spoiler Alex gave me on stream yesterday, after pointing out Electrocutioner is a terrible boss they should have in the Boss Busters series.
Yeah but it it’s Delsin… automatic immunity 😂😂😂
Boss: now you will meet your doom!
Me: not if is stand awkwardly on this rock, wedged next to the wall
Boss: hey wait, I can't hit you there
Me: prepare to meet your doom!
That was me on elden ring with the magma wyrm thing i think it was.
Mysterio on spider man 2 for the ps2. He deserves at least an honorable mention to this list
i'm so glad this is back, reminds me of the old days and Rob's humor has never changed which is good
Such a treat to be able to look forward to a Friday feature to finish off the week ✨
"And I don't mean on LinkedIn."🤣Rob has such a *GREAT!* sense of humor💖😂
I thought, 'Quiet?! That lady perforated my spleen more times than I can count.' And then the box-trick... you could have ten friends over for fondue with that cheese. What the hell? XD

Another absolutely brilliant Friday Feature. I agree with the entry about Quiet especially. Exactly as you said, Rob. Into the bin with her.
I loved how shockingly easy the electrocutioner was.
But Rob, you put Papu-papu in one of those bosses you had a problem before
Cameo By Alex.. Two Thumbs Way up. Rob you never cease to amaze on these Friday Features keep up the good work. One day Friday Features will be as synonymous as Manic Monday, Taco Tuesdays etc.
I'm surprised he didn't have Rosie pop up to show him how easy high Road is :D
I always thought that; The Koopalings all needed remedial Boss training.
Mysterio in Spider-Man 2, the Toby Maguire one, the PS2 one
I honestly love that this series is still around, it's my happy place.
I am so happy these are back
My fellow bald guy Rob is looking fit!!!! Congrats
now we need a tally for each time Dave did a tally on Friday feature 😂😂 love this
Secret Boss doing the HR meeting I see
Another great Friday Feature, but what about Rick the Door Technician from SW jedi survivor?
I love the whiteboard marker 'squeek'
iv said it befor and ill say it again i am so glad rob is back with the friday features
Your videos are so awesome Rob. Thanks!
So fun! Thanks Rob!
Ah, it's time 😊
Another one is Mist Noble from Sekiro. You even start from a beam so you can jump on him and reduce him to 1 life.
I too think it was Rob he is always the trouble maker of the group
Nice to see Delsin on good form.
Also I have that exact extension lead!!
Favorite UA-cam videos of all time
I did not know about that trick with Quiet, nice find!
Alex playing next to you had me laughing 😅

It was a great day so far but something was missing. Now I know what it was. Thanks for making my day complete Rob.^^
So the Tree Sentinal in Elden ring 😏
Hey! I am still waiting on the last promotion you promised me when I complimented Rob and the Friday Feature. I am not giving anymore compliments until I see a promotion.
I knew it was Pinwheel before I even clicked.
Idea for a List Feature I've been waiting to share since last week: 7 Weaknesses Bosses have (that you should totally exploit)
For example, throwing an x-potion on enemies with Zombie-status in any FF game.❤
Mist Noble from Sekiro 💀
Good to see Dave!! And Delsin too. :) been a minute
Rick the Door Technician from Jedi Survivor, of course
The nerve on Rob to include papu papu
I can't believe you didn't mention Marauder Shields; he was effectively a household name this time 10yrs ago
Hello, you have caught me thinking about other things when I heard the snap of that glove..
Love the Edna Mode reference "NO CAPES!"
I loved that alternate way to defeat Quiet. I already hate the sniper fight with The End and try to avoid it at any cost. The fight with Quiet isn't any better.
In the extreme version of her battle even the supply drops don't work all the time either as she's getting away too fast, even when you try distracting her by drawing attention to your position.
gogadantess from onimusha 2. I wish it was harder and longer(thats what she said) because the music and sound effects were awesome
Delsin is back!!! I have missed him!
Beautifully written ❤
Vergil from DMC 3 is pathetic when you realize that all but one of his attacks can be dodged by simply jumping and that last attack can be dodged by casually walking diagonally towards him
Nice to see Daves FF VII save catalogue coming into play. 🧐🗡
Alex should have had the boss busters jumpsuit on!
"Seriously, how does anyone do this?"😂🤣
The fight with Papu Papu is basically the same as Doctor Shemp from Spyro The Dragon .
Poor Gargoyle from Conker's Bad Fur Day didn't even make the list. 😂
Surprised the boss from Sekiro in the forgotten mistwoods (can't remember exactly) didn't feature in this, I think the boss is called mist noble?!
Rick the Door Technician…
Rick the door technician from Jedi Survivor comes to mind
Good thing he said Batman villain because I was just informed Thor can use Mjolnir to defib Kratos in Ragnarok.
Great choice of biscuits, Dave
Calling poseidon "the monarch of moistness" is just exquisite writing😂
Rob rocking the pink shirt 👌🏼💯
Witches of Hemwick from Bloodborne come to mind for this as well.
