So I decided to look it up, and it turns out the monkey's original Japanese name was Jirō, a fairly common name not prone to euphemism. The decision to rename him Spanky was on the translation team. Remember folks: localization cuts both ways.
Calling the Pokemons' source of power "PP" is certainly up there with the worst. I've never been able to keep a straight face when using "PP Up" in game.
The thrustmaster HOT-ASS is a respectable product. But if it makes you feel uncomfortable to say that, you can always just tell people you're going to your room to play with your joystick.
Back when I got into the Dynasty Warriors series with the third game, I came across one level that was rather difficult with its narrow bridges and plenty of archer enemies. I complained to a friend that "I'm having trouble with Shi Ting" and he couldn't stop laughing. Being a pure-minded innocent in those days, it took me longer to get the joke than I care to admit.
This is a more well hidden giggle, but in mass effect 2. One of the Admirals in Tali's loyalty will talk about his ship "the Qwib Qwib" and if you ask about it he will remark on how he wishes he could be on the "Ectomy" or the "Deferens" which if you remember Quarian naming schemes, would be Vas Ectomy and Vas Deferens.
I am genuinely shocked that "The Taint" from Dragon Age never occurred to me until you brought it up in this video. I can only assume that the fact BioWare made it in their prime just made me nod and accept it seriously...
My wife positively cackled when Otacon mentioned MANPADS in _Metal Gear Solid 4._ Though it's kind of funny that a real-life military acronym is what finally sent her, in a series with characters unironically named "Solid Snake" and "Naked Snake".
In fairness Deepthroat is a reference to the informant in the real life watergate scandal. If you're going to be involved in a congressional hearing you might as well get a few giggles out of it along the way
For most of these, I grinned a bit to myself , but it wasn't until I heard ".... And mastered their TAINT!" that I started choking on my water. Well played
Duncan's delivery of that line in game never fails to absolutely destroy me. I know I'm about to watch 2 men die horribly and I'm giggling like a 12 year old boy every single time regardless. 😂
11:12 My favorite memory of the Nintendo console announcement is when Reggie got on stage and said (paraphrasing a bit), "For everyone who wrote us saying how much you loved the new console's name: Both of you, thank you."
So fun fact, Dragon Age was at least somewhat inspired by the Wheel of Time. And in the Wheel of Time, the big bad corrupted part of the source of magic, leading to the phrase "the Dark One's taint" being written quite a number of times.
Yeah, I'm really glad I was young enough when I started reading them that I didn't know the, erm, lewd interpretation of that term? So if I'm re-reading or discussing or whatever I don't automatically get the giggles. Unless everybody else does, of course. :D
I ran a D&D game, and while looking through items to potentially give to monsters for the party to obtain after defeating them, I found the Wand of Viscid Globs, a slim black Drow wand from Out of the Abyss that you can expend a charge from to fire a small glob of viscous material up to 60' that will dry on the target, restraining them for 1 hour. I used it completely unaware of any ways it could be interpreted until the entire party was laughing during the combat. I likely would've picked a different item entirely if I'd realized before the game session, as this one wasn't that sort of campaign.
@@HazeEmry I had it being used with a Modified Wand Sheath. This was a homebrew item I created that accidentally made it more on that theme. Summary: It allows the wand to retract or extend & frees the user from needing their hand to use their wand. It can also tap into the character's blood to trade damage for acting as if attuned to it. Below is the full text of what I wrote up & gave to the players along with the wand: A wand sheath normally clamps onto a Warforged's arm, but this one has been modified to work with more organic humanoids. It clamps tightly around a creature's wrist, like a very tight bracer. The sheath cannot be removed from you against your will while it's attached. If the sheath doesn't have a wand, you can insert a wand into the sheath as an Action. If a wand is inserted into the sheath that requires attunement, the sheath will be attuned to the wand after one hour. Attunement to the shealth is enough to use a wand the sheath is attuned to. If the wand in the sheath does not require attunement, then you do not need to attune to the sheath to use it and the sheath retains its attunement to the last wand it was attuned to, losing that attunement only if it attunes to a new wand. You can retract or extend a wand in the sheath as a Bonus Action. While the wand is extended, you can use it as if you were holding it, but your hand remains free. You can gain the benefits of attuning to the sheath for one hour without actually attuning to it by allowing the end opposite the wand to pierce your arm and tap into your own bloodstream. As a Bonus Action, you take damage based on the rarity of the wand currently in the sheath. This damage bypasses any resistances or immunities that you might otherwise have. Common -> 1d4 Piercing Damage Uncommon -> 1d6 Piercing Damage Rare -> 1d8 Piercing Damage Very Rare -> 1d10 Piercing Damage Legendary -> 1d12 Piercing Damage Artifact -> 1d20 Piercing Damage
@@thajocoth Id normally be able to read that with a straight face as I have words I use (generally the "official" slang) if not for most of this video.
I had to rewatch Luke and Ellen absolutely dying at the name P organ because it made me laugh. Despite the rude name, I loved how much Luke couldn’t read the description without laughing.
The fact they kept a straight face for almost the entire video while talking about this subject matter truly shows they are professionals and doing amazing work. Never change
I dunno, the first two entries are... indicative of someone having a dirty mind. Cream was probably chosen based on COLOR... it's not the first time in Sonic a character is named after a color. And Cream is cream colored. So what if the word is slang for something else? Lots of words get used as slang for THAT. like milk....
Dungeons and Dragons used "taint" as a slow corrupting evil effect in the 3rd edition sourcebook Heroes of Horror, with spells like "Detect Taint" and "Resist Taint", and there was even "Cleanse Taint" (as an added effect of the spell "Remove Curse") you could request from your friendly party cleric, whenever you were feeling "not so fresh".
P-organ: It’s because in Korean the word for blood and "P" sound the same. So it’s blood organ. Or lies of blood. But you could also interpret it as Puppet, or Pinocchio. It works on a few levels if you have the context for it.
And yet none of that matters, because - whatever the backstory - the game still ends up talking about "pee organs" over and over and over again like fourth-graders.
Related to "Lies of P", I took a screenshot of Pinocchio standing under a partially working marquee for the in-game festival that was cancelled before the game started. Thought it looked nice with the old-timey letters lined with lightbulbs and the way that an overhead light acted like a spotlight for the character... Showed it to someone else and they immediately pointed out that the letters that remained alit spelled out... "fetal". ...I turned Pinocchio around and took the screenshot again with the blank back of the marquee overhead instead.
That's great... in Korea, but why didn't they change the names for every other country on Earth? Lies of Pinocchio would have been a much better name, but they kept it as P purely because that's a pun in Korean. Really?
Especially because the titanium PowerBook got nicknamed the "tiBook", when Apple released the second (new-style) iMac - iMac revision B, if you will - I got a lot of mileage out of calling it the "BiMac".
In early World of Warcraft, I kept a few suggestive-named items in my bank so I could offer to 'sell' them in trade: Large Slimy Bone and Bear Organ were a couple of them.
Honestly baffled about naming the monkey "Spanky" since his name in the original version is "Jiro-kun" and was actually translated as "Mr. Jiro" at first before the port arrived. It's like the Ghost Stories dub, they just went out of their way to be ridiculous and bad on purpose.
That is definitely the worst, but Pokemon has no shortage of moves that could be taken as dirty. Bone Club, Rock Polish, Sticky Web, Play Rough, Baddy Bad and Stuff Cheeks also come to mind.
Honestly, I think "sticky white slime" is a bit worse than "Sticky white stuff." Also, if you need suggestions for a commenters edition, Ceaseless Discharge should be enough to get you started. And hell, you know full well Platinum intended it when they called some of Bayonetta's moves things like "Umbran Climax" or "Bullet Climax" and that difficulty mode "Non-stop infinite climax", all of which you wanna keep safe search on for when looking up. And let's not forget all the old games with no voice acting that let you name your character "You dick".
This video reminds me of I joke I loved as a kid: One day a grandad, a mum, and a kid found a magic slide which would grant you a wish. The kid went onto the slide and yelled "Teddy Bears!" and landed in a pile of teddy bears. After collecting them up the mum went down the slide too. She yelled "Money!" and landed in a pile of cash. After she collected her money the grandad decided to have a go. As he went down the slide he enjoyed it so much that he yelled "Weeee!" 😂
I remember as a kid in Brooklyn we had a version of this joke where the last person to go down the slide slipped at the top and shouted "oh, shit!" on the way down.
Still remember in 2006 making the joke "well if they ever make a portable version of it, they can call it the Wee Wii." Guess they decided Switch was better.
I didn’t realize Cream’s name being rude until this video. I always just saw it as a reference to her fur color and her family being named after sweet dairy products. Also I was too busy appreciating how overpowered this six year old rabbit girl and Chao best friend Cheese was.
In Shadow of Mordor, one of the random Orc names that can be generayed is Dûsh. That û makes an "oo" sound. And if the Orc is a captain, there will be an army chanting that name...
I remember that! I've played Shadow of Mordor a grand total of once and had a Dûsh. I always laughed my ass off when he came up, and he was one of the ones who just would not stay dead.
I mean I was already giggling at just the game's name: Lies of P. Anyways by the time of Dragon Age 2 the devs definitely figured out why people were giggling when mention of the Taint came up. They had your party member Isabella at one point saying a bunch of euphemisms based on things from Dragon Age Origins and one of them was 'Master your Taint.'
I worked in the electronics and entertainment department at my local Walmart, a woman came up to me and ask if we had thrust-masters there. That was the 1st time I encountered that brand. I was taken for a loop at 1st. Thankfully I resisted the urge to say “it’s not that kind of Walmart ma’am”
There was an old JRPG called "Record of Agarest War" on PS3 which had some pretty poorr translation/localisation. One of the early bosses was a giant cockatrice, but in order to save space in the text box for the name the boss was was simply called..."Big Cock".
With Kingdom Hearts, there's nothing to indicate a connection with your cursed knowledge. It's red cuz of Mushu and rocket since he's shooting explosive dragon fire at people. Now the Fallout 4 thing with Dogmeat being found at a Red Rocket Station... okay yeah there are dots that can be connected there. Someone at Bethesda clearly thought they were a comedic genius with that one.
Dragon Age: Origins is probably my favourite game. I have been playing it since 2009, shortly after it came out. I have watched the Joining scene more times than I can count on two hands. I have heard serious high fantasy characters dramatically say the word "taint" more times than I can even fathom. I had never even ONCE made the connection... ...and now I can never not
There's a character in Genshin Impact named Little Que'er. Apparently "Que" is Chinese for "Sparrow" and the suffix 'er is meant to indicate she's a young lady. And they added "Little" in case the 'er thing was confusing.
I have to give props to whoever wrote this episode, the sheer amount of jokes in the names and the setups and the pauses for the other jokes 11/10 great job
"cue many giggles in game stores around the globe as millions of people went in saying I need a Wii and shop assistants replied with sorry our toilet is for staff use only" Was my favorite line
I used to work in a GameStop, and one day, a customer brought his Wii to trade in. My friend started to test it and mentioned that he hadn't played with his Wii in a while. I couldn't stop myself from saying, "That sounds like a personal problem." I did apologize immediately after, though.
As a card carrying Adult, I have always and will continue to laugh whenever serious Grey Warden Duncan yells at me in an angry tone to "submit to the Taint" at the Joining as I'm very nearly dying. It's such an unintentionally hilarious scene
I was going to mention an identically named character in Dragon Quest 4! Even worse, when you defeat him in that game, he comes back more powerful with a new name: wait for it... Balzak.
@@collingreenwood737, in both forms (both Chapters 4 and 5) in the US NES game, he's named "Balzack"...and it's loosely named after the French writer Balzac, not the slang term in question.
Another example is the term "PP" in Pokemon, which I ASSUME stands for something like "Power Points" but is never referred to as such. And the associated item: "PP Up".
I know a guy called Dick Shiner. Funnily enough he always goes by Richard or Rich. The worst part is, it's a family name. His dad spent his entire life being a Dick Shiner, and still decided to inflict the same name on his kid.
I'm really going to need you all to take a hard look at Terraria - in specific the items Golden Shower, Master Bait, and the boss Mourning Wood (with special mention to Sparkle Slime Balloon, filled with Party Girl Bath Water).
All depends on what you consider a happy ending. After defeating all 50 stages (and 5 boss fights), you're thrust into a boss rush kind of deal where you face off against the 5 bosses again (no new moves, so they're not any tougher) and then follow it up with a final boss fight with the witch that messed with your sack. After she falls, the credits roll...with no other resolution; your knapsack is still cursed and anthropomorphic fruit (some of whom are wearing headgear of some sort) is still running rampant. Poor Spanky is stuck in a hell from which there is no escape.
@@mattyt1961still remember when my Nan asked me if I was playing with my playboy when in fact she meant my game boy I was holding me and my mum laughed for ages over that 🤣🤣🤣
I worked in retail when 'Thrustmaster' arrived in store. I could not stop laughing. It was so...hard..to sell them to customers without laughing. the amount of eyes locked with customer as we see who cracks first.
Made worse by the fact that the NES 'SCAT' was called Final Mission in Japan, so you can't even blame the language barrier. It was called Action in New York over in Europe, which also kinda dirty depending on how you interpret "action"
I'm honestly surprised Mad Max isn't on the list. With Names such as Scabrous Scrotus, Rictus Erectus, Pink Eye, Gaspa Grope, Rim Jobbie, Stump Grinder, Cock Locka, and Tweak Rod, It should be at number one.
"Mummy, why is 'Cream the rabbit' rude?" After oxtra's tip-stomping around the issue, I can just about hear the parents' struggling for a semi-plausible answer that avoids extremely awkward explanations. 😂
"Because It sounds like you're going to hit her very hard. Like when someone says ' that pigeon got creamed by a bus ' " A similar dodge will also work when they inevitably make a Sonic character Smash the [species]
“Rabbit soup… it implies that she would be made into purée and turned into soup. Sonics purpose is go fast. Knucks purpose is pow pow. But cream… poor cream is just food. That’s not nice is it, little Timmy? That would be like if your mommy named you Hamburger.”
The O-Power in Pokemon X/Y is pretty poorly named, considering the player, a literal child, has to acquire it from a strange man in several different locations throughout the game. One of which was a hotel.
Several games in the Ace Attorney series feature the hapless “Harry Butz.” There’s even a catchphrase in the game for him: “if something smells, it’s usually the Butz.” I can’t believe you missed this one. I am looking forward to the follow-up.
Solid Snake. Metal Gear Solid. Say it. Solid Snake. Tell me that can't mean something dirty. A soldier known for espionage. Sneaking into tight, sometimes damp places.
What type of hardware is it? Cause CuLitho makes me think Copper-Lithium battery, which I'm pretty sure doesn't exist. Also shout out to "hardware" and all the jokes it has spawned over the years.
@@SamJ.J. It actually isn't hardware, it's a hardware-design library. "cuLitho" == computational lithography (chip layout), the "cu" being their standard CUDA prefix.
_Thrustmaster_ was originally a high-quality throttle to go with joysticks for flight games. Don't go down on Thrustmaster, they literally built a peripheral empire from a lever.
I know this is a call back to an older video but the main character of Red Ocean being called Jack Hard has to rate pretty highly in the list of unfortunate names.
The real worst name in Lies of P is the fact that the true ending is called '*Rise* of P' Which is an accurate summary of how I reacted when Laxasia's 2nd phase started
I have played Dragon Age Origin's numerous times over the years, not once did I give a second thought or even laugh at the fact there was a taint reference, yet during this I did and now I think the next time I play DA:O I won't be able to un-notice it. Thanks Luke and Ellen! :P
@@craigf1tz Honestly, the euphemism is not the most common and honestly I have a feeling it's an older or more British focused name than ones that most people would be familiar with. So it can get past the radar easier.
Weirdly I can't recall any in-game innuendos at this moment- but I can tell you that in 1991 (so, same vintage as "Spanky's Quest") came out an Amiga game called "P.P. Hammer and His Pneumatic Weapon". Also, for some reason, ZX Spectrum port of "Bomberman" was called "Eric and the Floaters":)
After we got our Wii console Dad always thought it the height of hilarity to say "I'm going for a wee...a NINTENDO Wii!" He's since passed on but the da jokes are eternal
I just had to bring this up for this video because how could I not? Backstory: Transformers Beast Wars has a character named Waspinator, in its sequel series Beast Machines his spark, a Cybertronian equivalent to a soul, is used to power a new character named Thrust, years later someone decided to create a toy that was a hybrid of the two and you can probably guess the name. Goes without saying that, if you ever decided to branch out beyond videogames and revisit this topic "Thrustinator" would be a great contender. I hope they make him a playable character just so he'd be eligible for another take on this topic.
Just saying Ceaseless Discharge will be in the list before I watch the video. (Edit) What in the blue blazes, it is absent and my disappointment is ceaseless(ly discharging). Thought that one was a slam dunk to be honest.
Not from a video game but none of them come close to the woman's name "Pussy Galore" in the Bond flick "Goldfinger" in 1964. "I'm Pussy Galore." "Of course you are."
I will say that everyone needs to grow up, this is juvenile and not funny. Do as I say, not as I do because I was WII'ing myself laughing :D... it's ok, I know the way out
Ian Paul Freeley (I. P. Freeley) From Rise of the Triad comes to mind. Also Lo Wang from Shadow Warrior series, weird name (also his brother is called Hung Lo...).
Another good one is the Dark Souls boss Ceaseless Discharge, or as he's called in Japanese, Tadare Tsudzukeru Mono which translates as "the thing that's always sore".
This is going back just a couple of short year to the mid-1980s, but everyone was playing a really tough flip-screen platformer called - Jet Set Willy. A game so tough that it was actually impossible to finish. It was a rock hard Willy. Unless, of course, you Poked it a bit.
Respectful doff of the hat to Luke and his delivery on the last segment! I had the video on in the background and was taken completely by surprise by the name "Spanky" and started to laugh uncontrollably and almost suffocate as Luke then continued to repeat the name "Spanky" over and over again. You almost killed me sir and I respect you all the more for it!
At the time, I always wondered why my dad would chuckle any time we'd rent Spanky's Quest (I was 8 when the game came out in the US)...I just had a blast playing with a monkey and his balls.
World of Warcraft has a few names for characters & items that have caused players to giggle & wonder about the thought process of such things. The first that came to my mind was a fishing trainer in Pandaria named the "Master Baiter". There's the Valentine themed mount the "Love Rocket" as well. I know there are others, but these 2 are the first that jump to my mind for this kind of topic. LOL Keep up the great work, I adore your videos!
Always loved that we had to rely on fan translations of FFV for a while in the west, thus providing with main character Butz (whose element, for extra sophomoric chuckles, is wind)
First one that came to mind was “Ceaseless Discharge”. There is no redemption for that one.
I don't even think there's any localization to blame for that! How would that even translate?! XD
@@clockworkcrow8590his Japanese name translates as "the thing that's always sore", which isn't much better

I used it completely unaware of any ways it could be interpreted until the entire party was laughing during the combat. I likely would've picked a different item entirely if I'd realized before the game session, as this one wasn't that sort of campaign.

Summary: It allows the wand to retract or extend & frees the user from needing their hand to use their wand. It can also tap into the character's blood to trade damage for acting as if attuned to it.
Below is the full text of what I wrote up & gave to the players along with the wand:
A wand sheath normally clamps onto a Warforged's arm, but this one has been modified to work with more organic humanoids. It clamps tightly around a creature's wrist, like a very tight bracer. The sheath cannot be removed from you against your will while it's attached.
If the sheath doesn't have a wand, you can insert a wand into the sheath as an Action. If a wand is inserted into the sheath that requires attunement, the sheath will be attuned to the wand after one hour. Attunement to the shealth is enough to use a wand the sheath is attuned to. If the wand in the sheath does not require attunement, then you do not need to attune to the sheath to use it and the sheath retains its attunement to the last wand it was attuned to, losing that attunement only if it attunes to a new wand.
You can retract or extend a wand in the sheath as a Bonus Action. While the wand is extended, you can use it as if you were holding it, but your hand remains free.
You can gain the benefits of attuning to the sheath for one hour without actually attuning to it by allowing the end opposite the wand to pierce your arm and tap into your own bloodstream. As a Bonus Action, you take damage based on the rarity of the wand currently in the sheath. This damage bypasses any resistances or immunities that you might otherwise have.
Common -> 1d4 Piercing Damage
Uncommon -> 1d6 Piercing Damage
Rare -> 1d8 Piercing Damage
Very Rare -> 1d10 Piercing Damage
Legendary -> 1d12 Piercing Damage
Artifact -> 1d20 Piercing Damage
@@thajocoth Id normally be able to read that with a straight face as I have words I use (generally the "official" slang) if not for most of this video.

Calling chucking boulders at you "getting their rocks off.... the ledge" is crazy though
Honestly ruined that joke.
I had to rewatch Luke and Ellen absolutely dying at the name P organ because it made me laugh. Despite the rude name, I loved how much Luke couldn’t read the description without laughing.
The fact they kept a straight face for almost the entire video while talking about this subject matter truly shows they are professionals and doing amazing work. Never change
I dunno, the first two entries are... indicative of someone having a dirty mind. Cream was probably chosen based on COLOR... it's not the first time in Sonic a character is named after a color. And Cream is cream colored. So what if the word is slang for something else? Lots of words get used as slang for THAT. like milk....
I think it just meant that a LOT of takes were needed.
@@woodysmith2681 we need an outtakes video for this one.
@@soulreapermagnum Yes, we do!
But you could see Ellen fighting it when she had to Cream The Rabbit.
Dungeons and Dragons used "taint" as a slow corrupting evil effect in the 3rd edition sourcebook Heroes of Horror, with spells like "Detect Taint" and "Resist Taint", and there was even "Cleanse Taint" (as an added effect of the spell "Remove Curse") you could request from your friendly party cleric, whenever you were feeling "not so fresh".
P-organ:
It’s because in Korean the word for blood and "P" sound the same. So it’s blood organ. Or lies of blood. But you could also interpret it as Puppet, or Pinocchio. It works on a few levels if you have the context for it.
And yet none of that matters, because - whatever the backstory - the game still ends up talking about "pee organs" over and over and over again like fourth-graders.
Related to "Lies of P", I took a screenshot of Pinocchio standing under a partially working marquee for the in-game festival that was cancelled before the game started. Thought it looked nice with the old-timey letters lined with lightbulbs and the way that an overhead light acted like a spotlight for the character...
Showed it to someone else and they immediately pointed out that the letters that remained alit spelled out... "fetal".
...I turned Pinocchio around and took the screenshot again with the blank back of the marquee overhead instead.
That's great... in Korea, but why didn't they change the names for every other country on Earth? Lies of Pinocchio would have been a much better name, but they kept it as P purely because that's a pun in Korean. Really?
That was exactly my thought and why I didnt find that one funny. But I at least understand why it can be.
@@David-ud9ju That's Korea and to some extent all major Asian countries for ya. (Source: Am from one of the major asian countries)
Always a fan of playing with my XBone. Loved that they issued a statement for people to stop calling it that.
Oh boy, the X Box One X. The XBOX, truly a revolutionary naming scheme.
I call the XBox Series S the SeXBox
Especially because the titanium PowerBook got nicknamed the "tiBook", when Apple released the second (new-style) iMac - iMac revision B, if you will - I got a lot of mileage out of calling it the "BiMac".

And notice how the "Rabbit" was getting "Vibrated" at the start before cream shot off!

Honestly baffled about naming the monkey "Spanky" since his name in the original version is "Jiro-kun" and was actually translated as "Mr. Jiro" at first before the port arrived. It's like the Ghost Stories dub, they just went out of their way to be ridiculous and bad on purpose.
In the game yooka laylee there is a snake character called trouser and also the name of a boat in the game is called the bat ship crazy 🤣🤣
@@therunawaykid6523 Yeah but that game was made originally in English, this is just idiotic translation. :D
I thought the pokemon move 'water sport', along with it's early graphical representation, would have been pretty high up the list.
Don't forget using PP up on Metapod's move set. Harden, Tackle and String Shot :)
That is definitely the worst, but Pokemon has no shortage of moves that could be taken as dirty.
Bone Club, Rock Polish, Sticky Web, Play Rough, Baddy Bad and Stuff Cheeks also come to mind.

Honestly, I think "sticky white slime" is a bit worse than "Sticky white stuff."
Also, if you need suggestions for a commenters edition, Ceaseless Discharge should be enough to get you started. And hell, you know full well Platinum intended it when they called some of Bayonetta's moves things like "Umbran Climax" or "Bullet Climax" and that difficulty mode "Non-stop infinite climax", all of which you wanna keep safe search on for when looking up.
And let's not forget all the old games with no voice acting that let you name your character "You dick".
I remember fighting that dark souls boss and thinking "that sounds like a medical issue"
We know that the lava flows ceaselessly from him. We're never told where it flows from him.
The Bayonetta one was definitely on purpose though, considering the overall tone of that game
This video reminds me of I joke I loved as a kid:
One day a grandad, a mum, and a kid found a magic slide which would grant you a wish. The kid went onto the slide and yelled "Teddy Bears!" and landed in a pile of teddy bears. After collecting them up the mum went down the slide too. She yelled "Money!" and landed in a pile of cash. After she collected her money the grandad decided to have a go. As he went down the slide he enjoyed it so much that he yelled "Weeee!"
😂
I remember as a kid in Brooklyn we had a version of this joke where the last person to go down the slide slipped at the top and shouted "oh, shit!" on the way down.
@@CaptainRandom Thats the one I heard.
Still remember in 2006 making the joke "well if they ever make a portable version of it, they can call it the Wee Wii." Guess they decided Switch was better.
They did make a smaller, digital-only Wii, but it was called the Wii mini.

I didn’t realize Cream’s name being rude until this video. I always just saw it as a reference to her fur color and her family being named after sweet dairy products. Also I was too busy appreciating how overpowered this six year old rabbit girl and Chao best friend Cheese was.
Cream the Rabbit, or as I like to call her, "Easy Mode."
Is that why it's called cheesing the game
In Shadow of Mordor, one of the random Orc names that can be generayed is Dûsh. That û makes an "oo" sound.
And if the Orc is a captain, there will be an army chanting that name...
Doesn't have quite the same ring to it as Grond.
There's a cop in my city who's widely known as Captain Dush... not to his face, though.
I remember that! I've played Shadow of Mordor a grand total of once and had a Dûsh. I always laughed my ass off when he came up, and he was one of the ones who just would not stay dead.
I started replaying that recently and got an Orc Captain named “Dûshrat” and couldn’t stop laughing
In Shadow of War I had a Captain called Fubar and his bodyguard named Snafu. I just assumed that not all of the names were random at that point.
I mean I was already giggling at just the game's name: Lies of P.
Anyways by the time of Dragon Age 2 the devs definitely figured out why people were giggling when mention of the Taint came up. They had your party member Isabella at one point saying a bunch of euphemisms based on things from Dragon Age Origins and one of them was 'Master your Taint.'
This is hands down Outside Xtra's most high-brow and intellectual video to date
Wait, where are your hands now?
I worked in the electronics and entertainment department at my local Walmart, a woman came up to me and ask if we had thrust-masters there.

There was an old JRPG called "Record of Agarest War" on PS3 which had some pretty poorr translation/localisation. One of the early bosses was a giant cockatrice, but in order to save space in the text box for the name the boss was was simply called..."Big Cock".
Lots of funny names cause of text limitations back then.
In Kingdom Hearts 2, Sora and Mulan’s “Limit” attack is called “Red Rocket”, which is certainly… a choice.
Also, Red Rocket being a filling station chain in the pre-Great War eastern USA in the Fallout series.
@@Brasc Where you meet Dogmeat in Fallout 4, no less.
With Kingdom Hearts, there's nothing to indicate a connection with your cursed knowledge. It's red cuz of Mushu and rocket since he's shooting explosive dragon fire at people. Now the Fallout 4 thing with Dogmeat being found at a Red Rocket Station... okay yeah there are dots that can be connected there. Someone at Bethesda clearly thought they were a comedic genius with that one.
Dragon Age: Origins is probably my favourite game. I have been playing it since 2009, shortly after it came out. I have watched the Joining scene more times than I can count on two hands. I have heard serious high fantasy characters dramatically say the word "taint" more times than I can even fathom. I had never even ONCE made the connection...

Let's be honest, in most cases they knew exactly what they were doing when they chose the names
Spanky the Monkey is 100% not an accident. They should've really leaned into it and had another character named Choky the Chicken.

There's an old boxing game called Hard Blow. Lots of guys giving each other hard blows...
I have been using Thrustmaster peripherals since about 1994 - to see them on this list is hilarious and thoroughly enjoyed!
In dragon's dogma, there is an extremely minor character called "balsac". If that doesn't belong on this list then I don't know what does
I was going to mention an identically named character in Dragon Quest 4! Even worse, when you defeat him in that game, he comes back more powerful with a new name: wait for it... Balzak.
They did it twice and still may or may not have realized it.
@@collingreenwood737It is a real name after all, so might have gone under the radar, at least the first time.

@@collingreenwood737, in both forms (both Chapters 4 and 5) in the US NES game, he's named "Balzack"...and it's loosely named after the French writer Balzac, not the slang term in question.
Another example is the term "PP" in Pokemon, which I ASSUME stands for something like "Power Points" but is never referred to as such. And the associated item: "PP Up".
I remember back on the Ps2 we had a nascar game and one of the drivers was called Dick Trickle, laughed everytime his name came up 🤣

Dick Trickle is a Wisconsin racing legend, and also has the funniest real world name. Apart from Tokyo Sexwale, obviously.

I've never finished Spanky's Quest either, but it seems quite a light hearted and cheerful kind of game so I can only assume it has a happy ending.
A "Happy Ending"
I don't believe for a second that wasn't deliberate
All depends on what you consider a happy ending. After defeating all 50 stages (and 5 boss fights), you're thrust into a boss rush kind of deal where you face off against the 5 bosses again (no new moves, so they're not any tougher) and then follow it up with a final boss fight with the witch that messed with your sack. After she falls, the credits roll...with no other resolution; your knapsack is still cursed and anthropomorphic fruit (some of whom are wearing headgear of some sort) is still running rampant.
Poor Spanky is stuck in a hell from which there is no escape.

Odd you omitted the unfortunately named SCAT that appeared as an acronym for organizations in TWO games in the 1990s.
Made worse by the fact that the NES 'SCAT' was called Final Mission in Japan, so you can't even blame the language barrier.
It was called Action in New York over in Europe, which also kinda dirty depending on how you interpret "action"

Backstory: Transformers Beast Wars has a character named Waspinator, in its sequel series Beast Machines his spark, a Cybertronian equivalent to a soul, is used to power a new character named Thrust, years later someone decided to create a toy that was a hybrid of the two and you can probably guess the name.
Goes without saying that, if you ever decided to branch out beyond videogames and revisit this topic "Thrustinator" would be a great contender. I hope they make him a playable character just so he'd be eligible for another take on this topic.
Just saying Ceaseless Discharge will be in the list before I watch the video.
(Edit) What in the blue blazes, it is absent and my disappointment is ceaseless(ly discharging). Thought that one was a slam dunk to be honest.

Respectful doff of the hat to Luke and his delivery on the last segment!

World of Warcraft has a few names for characters & items that have caused players to giggle & wonder about the thought process of such things. The first that came to my mind was a fishing trainer in Pandaria named the "Master Baiter". There's the Valentine themed mount the "Love Rocket" as well. I know there are others, but these 2 are the first that jump to my mind for this kind of topic. LOL Keep up the great work, I adore your videos!
