Hello everyone! As some of you already know, I've been working on this video and the sequel for the Elden Ring parody simultaneously. There will be a full announcement for that soon. The sequel is ambitious...so all kinds of support, even if small, would be a huge help.
There's an old saying in my family that goes: "Those who wander with an helmet on, they don't have to animate their mouths. And so the animation, comes out even faster!" -The Pruld [Dork Souls 3 "Seasoning Ash"]
Not only did you make Smough disturbing by the nature of him being a cannibal but I was not ready for a Evangelion reference soon after. Amazing work as always and nice style on Ornstein fighting, very smooth.
@@Danthesane he was an executioner, not fit to be a knight like Ornstein or Artorias because of his cannibalism and downright inhuman cruelty I think Gwyn wouldn’t want one of his knights to sometimes pick up and eat a person while laughing (he does laugh while fighting you, for example) Also he finishes Ornstein with no hesitation should he fall first
Dude your animation just keeps getting better and better! Same goes for the sound editing and cinematography. That scene where you discover the Havel-mobile, and it roaring to life with the lights in the dark has got to be my favorite part.
Dude i'm so glad you specifically referenced that scene, I was really proud of it during the writing process and i'm glad it translated well into motion! Thank you for the kind words! \o/
During Elden Ring he cheesed a lot of bosses making me consider he never managed to git good... But today he defeated Ledge, Demon of Heights With the support of other cursed, I'd like to honor Shez with the title: Souls Veteran!
He was coming a damn long way! Y'all should have a look at his video history it's really great! I'm patiently waiting for his Bloodborne interpretation! Absolutely no pressure... Take as long as it needs to go your way!
As someone who started playing the remastered just a few days ago, this PERFECTLY encapsulates every singly little thing in the ridiculous but beautiful experience ds1 was.
Thank you for giving me the chance to voice Gwyndolin in this, I really had a blast doing it 😇 This turned out so well! It makes me want to play Dark Souls again after so many years :D
I gotta give u props @Shezmen88 for the very first minute where you spin the halberd/flail. Because the sound moved along with the screen as he moved from Left and right and that just gave my brain a good tickle!
YES, I arrived at Anor Londo just as when this video was uploaded, I also panicked and drank estus at the same pillar. I killed them after 4 tries without summons (I know right? this is my first playthrough btw) AND I accidentally killed Gwynevere. Fantastic video; very relatable. Earned a sub and a like!
OML you just unburied the ptsd FOR THAT GODDAMN LEDGE, IT MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN A BOSS. I remember being 14 years old and absolutely losing my shit to those two silver knights camping that ledge with a greatbow, oh the horrors.....regardless it made me so happy to see that you are still making these animations for this series, you never fail to crack me up and this series has become one of those core memories of youtube that you look back on and smile a decade later, thank you.
Matthew, I don’t know if you’ll see this, But I want to let you know that you’re One of the best animators out there. Your animations are very appealing to me since I am a big dark souls fan and seeing the game mixed with humor like yours makes me smile every single time I see one of your animations. Hopefully you continue to grow even more bigger in popularity then you are now so then people can witness your great animations!
The Painting Guardian jumping off the ledge yelling, "I must jump forward for no reason!!!" Has got to be one of the funniest moments ive ever seen in a youtube video!!! 100/10 on that part, Shez!!
This was even better than I thought it would be--I can't wait for an eventual mega video compiling all of the Dark Souls 1 shorts. I especially loved the Tarkus bit, was such a satisfying followup to the preceding joke
I've never played Dark Souls 1.....i think i'm going to have to now lol. Great video as always, can't wait to see what you have cooking for the next part of Elden Ring.
Hello! First time Dark Souls player here in PC. I can't stop laughing at how very relatable most of these are, it's giving me Anor Londo PTSD flashbacks as well as Ornstein and Smough PTSD flashbacks Great video too, the animation is smooth!❤
Awesome, so funny to watch. I am grateful for all the work you put into content for us viewers to enjoy! I gotta admit, it threw me for a loop actually hearing Illusory Wall. I didn't think it was him until I saw the voice acting credits. So awesome!
Thank you for all your animations my friend, sometimes life is very stressful for me especially since I’m in the military and hardly get much time to myself but you make my days easier whenever you put something new out or I rewatch all the others! Thank you for doing what you’re doing and keep it up, you are very talented and I have no doubt you brighten many others days.
Stellar, once again! I love all the little details and easter eggs, like the split-second glint of red eyes during the Anor London joke, and Shovel Knight money drop. And Anor Londo itself was done beautifully! Absolutely wonderful to look at, and it got some good chuckles out of me too. Well done, *_very_* well done.
I was not emotionally prepared for the three silver knights room, because it was so accurate to my first experience. Also loved the Illusory wall cameo! I always love watching your videos over and over to find all the tiny hidden references and jokes, and somehow whenever you do the videos where you point them out, I still missed a bunch of them.
This animation is LIT! The details, the lighting, the expressions, wow. Good job! Also the attention to detail with easter eggs and winks to other series, good job!
Dude managed to make a masterpiece longer than most I’ve seen on UA-cam, amazing job capturing our pain but enjoyment once again Makes me want to go neck and replay DS1 once again
Holy smokes I just realized that the chandelier falling way back in seasoning ash is tied into this one. Because Friede sent him back to DS 1 through the painting.
@@Gabriel_TR it looks like the moment when the assassins teleporpted to the tower that corvo and the queen/empress where on in the beginning of the game
didn't expect a NGE and a godzilla parody in the same joke... and I'm probably still missing a piece of the hole puzzle there oh and... THERE IS A FREAKIN' BONFIRE THERE? O_O
I think the Demon's Souls video will be awesome when he is just dragging around a bag full of grass. This one is almost as good as the first video - Covers all of the fun instances with awesome callbacks!
Loved the video! I used a black halberd in my first play trough and my friend kept saying my weapon was to strong, so the part at 8:39 cracked me up good 😂
Your English has improved alot over the years. Can't wait to see the next animation you make! I remember showing your Fallout 4 one to my mom during a hospital visit and she thought it was hilarious
I love these parodies so much. Makes me wanna go play Ds1 again for the 20000th time to re-live all of this nightmare fuel 🤣 Definitely plan to sub to Patreon again once I'm more financially stable 🥰 Thank you so much for making such incredible souls' game parodies 🤩
Hello everyone! As some of you already know, I've been working on this video and the sequel for the Elden Ring parody simultaneously. There will be a full announcement for that soon.

Fantastico video/ fantastic video
Sekiro Is back
The ambition of man
What a chad, choosing his community over money
😀 Finally happening
You seriously went from the beginning of Anor Londo to the boss area for 7 hours without checking that door!?
I realised there was a door after i kiiled the boss
I used the first bonfire too, but only because I did not have any humanity so I could not kindle the closer bonfires.
Isnt the balcony thats required to cross take you to the door in the first place? How tf does one miss that?
@@DIP_BUH1207An idiot who dosen't pay attention it seems.
I believe him actually
As a wise Italian once said “wear a helmet so you don’t have to animate the speaking”
By order of lord Gwyndolin your artistic depiction of the Goddess of sunlight Gwynevere is heresy, punishable by death.
This made me cackle
gravity part 4, biatches :D
Cardinal sin punishable by twink
wasnt that Morty though from the rick an morty tv show
Well they ARE fake, so they wouldn’t look like that.
I think that horrible ledge is the single most frustrating moment of my entire first Dark Souls playthrough
same, i passed it and died to the guy insede a room, i choose the wrgon room (the other one has a bonfire), so i had to do the f... ledge again
Came for the archers, stayed for the Shovel Knight reference.
Came for the another DS3 parody, stayed for the End of Evangelion reference XDDDD
Came for the rafters, stayed for the hollow knight reference
He also came for the archer’s tbh
That 3 silver knights scene was FOUL 😂
There was a camera-man and everything
HAHAHA the painting guardian falling off completely on their own, so accurate.
Luckily
10:03 Ive never seen anything so fucking cursed before
It's nge reference
I do love how you captured the jank of DS1
XD we love it..
There's an old saying in my family that goes:
"Those who wander with an helmet on, they don't have to animate their mouths. And so the animation, comes out even faster!"
-The Pruld [Dork Souls 3 "Seasoning Ash"]
6:29 Laughing my ass off at how Sekiro's corpse is still there. Amazing stuff as usual
XD
Omg I didn't even notice
@@Bionicdodo24 same
Oh wow, NICE!
I noticed it the second I saw the scene cause I was like wait didn’t sek- oh oh yeah he did.
2:33 "So the ledge-ends were all true..." I shouldn't have laughed at that as much as I did lol
Not only did you make Smough disturbing by the nature of him being a cannibal but I was not ready for a Evangelion reference soon after. Amazing work as always and nice style on Ornstein fighting, very smooth.
Thank you dude! haha.. Yeah you know...gotta represent the fuckedupp-ness of the executioner himself somehow :'D
its not suprising, after all the animation of ds1 opening of evangelion was super popular once
'Dark Souls short parody'
12 minutes long.
I love you Matthew
I was NOT ready for the Smough cannibal moment
Forgot how scary he is in the lore
What is smough’s lore tho? I don’t know it >:/
@@Danthesane he was an executioner, not fit to be a knight like Ornstein or Artorias because of his cannibalism and downright inhuman cruelty
I think Gwyn wouldn’t want one of his knights to sometimes pick up and eat a person while laughing (he does laugh while fighting you, for example)
Also he finishes Ornstein with no hesitation should he fall first
@@EgorNovokshanov and a nice detail is that before he slams his hammer down on ornstein you can see his fingers twitching

During Elden Ring he cheesed a lot of bosses making me consider he never managed to git good... But today he defeated Ledge, Demon of Heights
With the support of other cursed, I'd like to honor Shez with the title: Souls Veteran!
The LEDGE-ends were true all along, my friend.
He finally gat gud ! XD
O'n S say otherwise
He deserve it! Anyone who beats the Ledge can beat any game out there!
He was coming a damn long way! Y'all should have a look at his video history it's really great!
I'm patiently waiting for his Bloodborne interpretation! Absolutely no pressure... Take as long as it needs to go your way!
This is canonically how the window got broken before/after the rafters
"So the ledge ends were true" DKRBRIR that got me, my man 😂
As someone who started playing the remastered just a few days ago, this PERFECTLY encapsulates every singly little thing in the ridiculous but beautiful experience ds1 was.
it was almost scary how accurate all this was, i found this video immediately after beating ornstein and smough first try
4:00 Was that freaking CORVO ATTANO back there?!
Happy Bday again Chez! 6 years ago today the prophecy was told. One game left!
Thank you for giving me the chance to voice Gwyndolin in this, I really had a blast doing it 😇
This turned out so well! It makes me want to play Dark Souls again after so many years :D
You nailed it
You did a really good job!! It was nice seeing Gwyndolin here!! 😄
Great job=)
Fabulous
I actually thought the voice lines were taken from the game!🤯 You did terrific!
I gotta give u props @Shezmen88 for the very first minute where you spin the halberd/flail. Because the sound moved along with the screen as he moved from Left and right and that just gave my brain a good tickle!
The timing is incredible. I recently started a new game in DS1 a few days back and I'm JUST today entering Anor Londo. Nicely done
That's awesome dude. Ds1 gives me all the nostalgia vibes. With some salt of course ;)
SAME, and I dont even play games, and the experience was perfectly captured
YES, I arrived at Anor Londo just as when this video was uploaded, I also panicked and drank estus at the same pillar. I killed them after 4 tries without summons (I know right? this is my first playthrough btw) AND I accidentally killed Gwynevere. Fantastic video; very relatable. Earned a sub and a like!

I think it changed in the remaster, there are railings now and the archers cant really hit you when running through

Dude! This comment made my day. Thank you so much.
@@Shezmen88 OMG U RESPONDED TYSM
6:19 I always seen that Smough charge attack like this, ESPECIALLY when he did multipe in a row
choo choo!
I'll never get tired of Ornstein and Smough's theme. But that aside this was a great animation.
The Painting Guardian jumping off the ledge yelling, "I must jump forward for no reason!!!" Has got to be one of the funniest moments ive ever seen in a youtube video!!! 100/10 on that part, Shez!!
Missing Federico ❤️
We all do, friend. We all do.
He better not turn into a boss while he’s gone.
Federico? Who is it?

Each of your Dork Souls Short parody is getting better and better! No rushing the parodies, always take your time.
That's super kind! Thank you Danny.
Didnt expect the Illusiory Wall having a cameo that was so fun. What a great video
That was a ton of fun lol! Thanks for the DS1 Video dude!
My pleasure dude!
You continue to produce funny, high quality animations. They are always a pleasure to have pop up in my feed.
So glad you're having fun with them!
I'm gonna be sad when these end... They're so good
Yeah, that's a shame...
But don't worry, Shez has still thousands of lives ahead of him. We'll have plenty of parodies before he pass away. XD
XD
I cannot count the amount of times i skipped back to 1:07, dude my sides hurt.
Amazing job on the animation as usual
Thank you Joey! :>
This was even better than I thought it would be--I can't wait for an eventual mega video compiling all of the Dark Souls 1 shorts. I especially loved the Tarkus bit, was such a satisfying followup to the preceding joke
I've never played Dark Souls 1.....i think i'm going to have to now lol. Great video as always, can't wait to see what you have cooking for the next part of Elden Ring.
Thanks dude! And yesah, absolutely play ds1, it's a classic...even with some of the jank. Make sure to use a fast rolling build!
7:29 YES,THIS HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIME,YOU PORTRAYED IT SO WELL
The sheer amount of hidden details and jokes is just overwhelming.
This is again a masterwork.
Damn thank you so much man...
6:00 the Hollow knight easter egg ist superb🦆
Shezzy boooy I laughed so much at this, my god. Absolutely loved it! One of my favourites you have ever made. Well done! 🫶
Hello! First time Dark Souls player here in PC. I can't stop laughing at how very relatable most of these are, it's giving me Anor Londo PTSD flashbacks as well as Ornstein and Smough PTSD flashbacks
Great video too, the animation is smooth!❤
A pc master race brother, I see! Thank you for enjoing the toon so much dude ^^

8:56 I love the snorlax door.
I went through Anor londo a few months ago and I can confirm that it was quite frustrating
Seeing ornstein and smough jet skying angrily was amazing. Love your work as always!
Im having ptsd flashbacks. Those two in same boss fight were so hard. Looking back after playing bloodborne and 3, pushovers.
Dude managed to make a masterpiece longer than most I’ve seen on UA-cam, amazing job capturing our pain but enjoyment once again
Makes me want to go neck and replay DS1 once again
Yeah and he called it a short. Absolutely incredible.
Kind words man, thank you all for the encouragement!
@@Shezmen88 any time, keep up the amazing work
Dude… your animation made a huge leap forward. Love the development. I enjoyed every second ❤
Thank you man! ^^
La reference a Evangelion mi ha totalmente colto alla sprovvista
Where was it?
@@erckupazo At 10:00, when Smough stabs himself with a spear and have an MP Eva head.
si, y todo es exellenta
“It all keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down…”
Shut up
Ha! That was great, particularly the obscure use of the Dragons Lair sound effect. Nicely done as always.
The insane amount of detail in these skits is so refreshing to watch. And as someome who knows a thing ore two about souls it just a treat.
It never ceases to amaze me how much quality is shown in these videos.
Once again, it's awesome stuff. Smough taking that spear got me good though.
Thanks for the kind words dude! Oh yes Smough is a complete psycho XD..
Fooled me at the 5:00 mark, I figured Smough was going to jump off the balcony like Ornstein during the cutscene and go right through the floor.
7:05 fucking killed me
9:28 Yup, I missed that anor londo bonfire too. I was pretty pissed when I found it a lot later.
I'm so glad i wasn't the only one lol cheers!
Holy smokes I just realized that the chandelier falling way back in seasoning ash is tied into this one. Because Friede sent him back to DS 1 through the painting.
8:25 I thought he was going to push him
No matter how evil there is,there is still a brocode.
Nah this the first who taked u to Anor Londo he s friend
You made me want to try Dark Souls 3, when you made your first video about it. I wish I could get my money back…but great animations!
The part where he picks up the elite knight set as an upgrade was so incredibly realtable.
That ledge should NOT have had a health bar. The bastard respawns.
between ornstein's insane dashing, and smough just smashing through a pillar when trying to take a rest, it is all amazing
Your animation keeps getting better and better!
Thank you for all your amazing content, 🎉🎉🎉 the time and effort that goes into the masterpieces is incredible
So glad you enjoyed it this much Andy!!! \o/
Oh man I love your parodies!!!!!
Love the "missing federico" poster at 10:28!
we all miss him!
That ledge truly is the hardest boss in any soulslike
illusorywall cameo was awsome !
Premium video! I love these references especially the Sekiro one XD
Thank you! ^^
04:00 Damn, for some reason I'd really like to see something about Dishonored right now
Is that was that is a reference to? I was about to ask in the comments.
@@GuardianOwl yep, it's the protagonist of the game using his teleportation powers
@@Gabriel_TR it looks like the moment when the assassins teleporpted to the tower that corvo and the queen/empress where on in the beginning of the game
Your animations are so wonderful.
didn't expect a NGE and a godzilla parody in the same joke... and I'm probably still missing a piece of the hole puzzle there
oh and...
THERE IS A FREAKIN' BONFIRE THERE? O_O
The memories, Enemy weapons being capable of going through walls was just artificial difficulty.
I think the Demon's Souls video will be awesome when he is just dragging around a bag full of grass. This one is almost as good as the first video - Covers all of the fun instances with awesome callbacks!
Grass, or "grass"? That is the question. Either that, or turn him into a cow, a horse, or a donkey while munching on it to heal.
The silver knights being set up as a spotter and sniper team but the sniper is a gun emplacement is hilarious! Lots of good little details in this
11:10 missed a potential jojo reference there, but again, quality work, good job!
Loved the video! I used a black halberd in my first play trough and my friend kept saying my weapon was to strong, so the part at 8:39 cracked me up good 😂
I went dark on this one because I wanted it to be a surprise - these take ages, but they are always super fun!
I loved that Ornstein and Smough took up more than half of the parody
8:18 that's the face of saying "No Way!"
silver archers, havel, and every camera you can get your hands on. Looks to be a typical dark souls 1 experience
A masterpiece as always! Loved the little Alucard reference btw
Thank you Sam! I played Symphony of the Night 2 years ago for the first time, great game!
Him dying to the elevator trap is classic. One of my friends always does it at least once in every souls game. Never gets old, never gets less funny.
11:08 - 11:12
Dang that was so clean. Like wow.
Why did I just discover this channel now? Curse you UA-cam algorithm. I've got a lot of Fromsoft stuff to look at now. Subscribed
9:58 How you managed to make smough that horrifying is beyond me
I mean he ate people in lore so 🤷♂️
WOW!!! GREAT! I'm speechless how many work you put in your Videos. really worth to support.
Can't wait for the Blorbonr parody 🔥
lmao
Your English has improved alot over the years. Can't wait to see the next animation you make! I remember showing your Fallout 4 one to my mom during a hospital visit and she thought it was hilarious
"Ledge ends"😂😂😂😂
That Solaire scene was just epic! Great stuff, Matthew, as usual - two thumbs up!
Glad you liked it good Sir! \o/
