Working on an animated Pilot, busy. Anyway, here's a bunch of shows I used to watch that screwed up my mind set.
take ur time on ur pilot
We can all be patient
Dear RebelTaxi if you get any Fan Mail will you do a Mail Time Episode🚕🚀
He's making Oye Gringos
i watched psg when i was 14 i think that screwed up mine
been watching you for a while u should make a video on how you make your videos and the process
Pretty crazy how every single person involved in these shows disappeared into the woods after the year 2005
Maybe it's for the best.
It's woods time for them.
I wish burt kreisher would go into the woods
@@Thenameless1yea
The woods giveth and the woods taketh
that interviewer telling fallout boy that she's a major yaoi freak at a game cube promotional music tour is the most early 2000's things I've ever seen. I'll show this video to my grandchildren one day
Early 2000s in 2006?
It's cool that she went on to voice a character in Mass Effect 3.
@@Vitorio582 You're right but I get what they mean. That clip definitely has the energy of the pre-iPhone/smartphone era (2007) and not the post-smartphone world.
being a Yaoi freek in the 2000s before the era of 2010s tumblr ship art actually makes her ahead of her time.
i relate bc im also a major yaoi freak
I can see where Pan got his terrible sense of humour.
This is all we had pre UA-cam u_u
After all, one of his inspirations was Kevin Smith.

Terrible? Or amazing?
This era of gaming culture is memorialized in spirit by crappy old webcomics & cringey gamer shirts at Wal-Mart.
😂😂😂😂 bro the Walmart shirts
You forgot ctrl-alt-delete.

don't talk shit about Bob & George

Admittedly, I think a Code Monkeys timeskip series could work very well.
"Code Monkeys 2000"
Instead of having it take place in the 80s and making fun of stereotypes from then, have it take place 20 years later and parody Spike, G4, and other 2000s gaming culture. They could even parody the Wii and how big its launch was.
I'd watch the hell out of that
In trying to ditch the 'nerdy gamer' stereotype, these shows basically created the 'sexist, fratbro gamer' stereotype we imagine today.
So in a sense, it was ahead of its time?
Wonder who created the "racist, homophobic 8-year-old gamer" stereotype.
talking about plot twists
@@Arcademan09yeah exactly
@@Arcademan09Was it ahead of its time, or did they attract those kinds of people, making it a self-fulfilling prophecy?
Honestly it’s funny that NINTENDO of all companies hosted a concert with bands that barely started but would end up defining a generation
Guilty Gear is such a funny name for a fake game, can't imagine anything like that ever getting greenlit!
What even are Gears Guilty about?
@@dolomitilino9015it's about naughty gears who interlock with each other and then feel guilty about it post-spinnut-clarity
@@RevelationsPrimo typical, blame the post-nut instead of themselves
And thats not even the full title!!! If you look cloesly its days Guilty Gear x2 The midnight carnival #Reload.... What a ridiculous name! Those movie prop designers sure had some crazy imagination!
Let alone selling enough to keep the company that made it stay afloat for a bit
Props to spade to be fair, that "Videogames and TV poison the children" joke was great.
I feel to this day people, still bring that up, like that's gonna be a great change there lmao
That's offensive to that joke too and way too offensive
yeah.
@@At-px6rm That's why it's so funny.
Honestly if you had told me nowadays that back then that Nintendo hosted on a musical festival featuring artists like Evanescence , My Chemical Romance, and panic at disco, I would genuinely have a hard time believing that considering what Nintendo is like currently.
Nintendo is emo?
@@PeterGriffin11almost can't spell Nintendo without it!
@@PeterGriffin11 More like, they were based
There are pictures out there of several of the bands playing Donkey Konga on the bongos while they’re all dressed up to go on stage.
it was a different time and they were what was popular then
3 guys and 1 girl who has to lock her room at night should've been the name of a whole ass show.
That literally sounds like what should've been a recurring MADTV skit at least.
Pan if you read this comment; I want to say I really appreciate the aesthetic you've developed over the years. You really captured the y2k aesthetic nicely, while still adding your own style to it as well. The bumpers, breaks and music really make this feel like an actual production. Especially nowadays with the vast sea of retrospective content creators, where a lot of them just talk in front of a green screen in the corner of the video. Props!
Totally agree with this!
I second this.
Oh absolutely, completely agree. Over the years, I still haven’t found another channel that does it better than rebeltaxi
I can't believe i finally get to see the origin of the "Nintendo DS makes me forget I don't have any friends" image
I do miss when industrial, nu metal, and emo became go to genres to soundtrack games and films
It sucked a lot
@@j.2512 I disagree lol
I miss it too, although it's not like those genre's died out completely. Still plenty of nu metal, punk and emo if you know where to look for it, it's just sadly not mainstream anymore.
@@Wintd1 oh yeah I understand that
And anime amw's
Sometimes I need to remind myself that the 2000s weren't all just some weird fever dream I had as a kid.
things sucked a lot but current clown world really makes you wish to go back. The 90s were amazing though
Yea so much changed in 15 years its hard to believe the things i saw and experienced where real the 90s seem even more unreal.
It's not that long ago and the world is pretty much the same. Stay the course and don't be overdramatic.
@@j.2512 Same man. I hated all of that war that happened in the middle of nowhere that had literally no impact on my life whatsoever.
I hated how 2000s was the most expressive and varied decade in terms of music with all genres and indie stuff being everywhere which let you listen to anything you ever wanted from metal, pop, jazz, hip hop, classical, rock, etc, etc. Take me back to the 90s where 80% of the music was trashy tv rap instead.
I hated how the 2000s was the last decade in history with an actual strong sense of style and identity with new ideas and genres coming up everywhere in all media along with people still being young, energetic, and creative. I hated how every single artist and creator had just enough technology and budget to fully realize their artistic vision without being overburdened by the greedy higher ups. Take me back to the good old days of the 90s when 70% of movies, tv shows, and games were canceled due to a fight between the creator and the corporation.
I FUCKING hated how the internet was at its peak with fuck ton of interesting stories from different users, unique websites that were designed in never seen style and functions, and youtube being an actual place for people who wanted to create something new with tons of original and passionate video projects everywhere. Same thing with people who did everything out of passion instead of money. God what would I do to go to the golden era of the 90s where one page kept leading for 2 hours and where interesting internet culture didn't exist yet instead.
To this day I'm seething because of all of those memories of hot, cute, and attractive goth/emo girls that you could find everywhere and guys who dressed in cool and stylish clothing inspired by metal and tv sports aesthetic. I would do anything to go back to the 90s when everyone dressed like a circus clown with disgusting side part hairstyles and ugly outfits made 99% out of jeans instead.
I also despised how all of that young generation of kids actually used to go outside to play different games on the streets, go to arcades, have fun at the beach with their families, ride skateboards, do tricks with their BMXs on their own ramps that they build with friends while listening to Greenday or Rise Against, etc, etc Take me back to the golden era of the 90s when living in Europe was an absolute fucking hell with low pay, terrible living conditions, and an absolute lack of perspectives in life in general.
Man, what a terrible decade that was.
@@kingstarscream3807
Just 20 years ago, no biggie lol
I can think of no better summary for Spike Tv than it being the channel that gave the award for best animation in a game to Dead Or Alive: Extreme Beach volleyball. If that doesn’t tell you what their mission statement was as a Nettwerk, I don’t know what would.
To be fair...
Dem jiggle physics tho.
Bruh that game was dope. I legit just dow loaded the rom for the psp port the other day lol.
was there a game with better animations from that year? The physics and motion capture at that time were crazy to see.
@@StealthHalberd01 whether there was a better looking game that year is debatable, but even if there was, spike TV would’ve 100% given the award to the one with jiggle physics anyway.
Gamer Culture pre-internet is so alien to look back on
Not if you lived through it, I still vividly remember it
@@Arcademan09 same. Attack of the Show for life.
Back when people would call you a fggot if you owned a gamecube and watched naruto, good times.

I love that Fall Out Boy interview. They’re the best. Especially Jason!
I couldn't tell if that was a then-unknown Jessica Chobot interviewing them or not LOL.
Guilty Gear is all over Grandma's Boy for basically no reason, there had to be some kind of joint marketing deal at play there.
Considering the cancelled game Demonik was from Majesco, who had the publishing rights to Guilty Gear in the US during the time the movie was made, the whole movie probably relied on Majesco product placement.
Thank you pan for single handedly keeping spike tv alive
Weirdly me and my brothers watched mostly g4 than spike.
Hope Pan one day does a video about MXC: Most Extreme Elimination Challenge
What a decade to be a Gamer.
Oh those sweet bygone days of yore. Oh precious salad days of youth only dust and memories now....

Same man
Same!😂 I still come back to it sometimes lol
It was the first show I binged on Netflix weekly so great
I honestly miss that era of gaming. It was so crude, it ascended to being charming in the end
The pre UA-cam era of entertainment made for gamers will always be a fascinating time to look back on, especially with insanely cheesy it could get. Also at 6:17 next to the Nood pan figure is a neat custom Kidrobot I made and gave to pan at Momocon 2019 , glad he showed it on his shelf

What F-word? You mean the British meatball?
@D4RKSH4D0 it's also a good word to use when asking for a cigarette
Hilarious that Fall Out Boy is in this video cuz I'm gonna see them in concert later today
I really love the concept of the Video Game Awards much like the obscure Jetix award show they hosted. It's real not fake. 25:58 26:31 27:40 40:56
God Codemonkeys was one of my favorite shows when I found it at way too young an age. The background visuals and all the stuff going on in the border always gave me something new to notice watching each episode again and again.
The line "I like circles 'cause they're round and stuff!" pops into my head at least one a month.
Back when Netflix still worked on the Wii I found it and watched it nonstop
Man it's so insanely nostalgic for me, used to come home after hanging with friends and it was the perfect way to round out my night, those songs and sound effects live rent free in my head for the last 16 years
Never watched Code Monkeys but I loved Jonathan Coulton.
G4 and Spike TV were like Adam Sandler movies. They're stupid, crude, and low brow, but a lot of fun. How can you resist?
Adam Sandler stop being fun after he was born
Spike TV was WAY more cringe, I'd only watch MXC for all its goofball dubbing LUZ.
We all know that RebelTaxi Spike TV special is coming, Pan is really passionate about that subject
I'm so glad Rebel covered the first game awards show. I didn't watch it but I read how much of a disaster it was. Also giving the best racing game title to Pontiac GTO which is just the name of a car before correcting it
CodeMonkeys was incredibly detailed, like the status bars and maps. Hell even the scores/health bars were accurate to what was actually going on!
Don't know if you'll see this or not, Pan, but I've been watching your videos for several years now and every single one I'll watch on repeat. Keep up the good work!
Years later and I still haven’t found a show that could come close to Code Monkeys, it was one of a kind
They have a dumb show on UA-cam that uses the same kinda pixelated characters an does comedy sketches with Mario.
Not on the same tier as code monkeys tho.
Code Monkeys was so so fire I agree
Sonic for hire came pretty damn close.
31:46 Yoo finally someone remembers Bry! They got rid of any trace of him after the first airing of season 1 because his scenes were considered a blight on an otherwise brilliant show. Groening later said he was pressured by Fox to include a funny character that children would like, similar to Bart. His gimmick of "funny character with a subplot independent of the main one" was what inspired Blue Sky to include Scrat in Ice Age.
Oh man, Gen X entertainment......sure was something. This video was a good time capsule of the mind of dudes in their 20s during the 2000s. (Also I think the only thing missing from this video was including the commercial of the Wildboyz (Steve-o and Chris Pontius) promoting the Nintendo DS.
Its so annoying that i was not adult back then it seems like the world was made for people born around 1980 people older than that don't care about anything. people younger than that get watered down experiences
@@belstar1128i mean if you were a kid during the 2000s you still pretty much got the gist of things.
@@sam4744 Yea i was a teenager by the end of it.
Yeah definitely not entirely lol. I’m gen-z (26 years old) and I consider this my generation. Grew up with this era of gaming.
@@TehSkullKid If you were born in the 90s, you're basically a 2000s kid. When people talk about Millennials, it's always about the 90s kids and when people talk about zoomers, it's always about the 2010's kids. The 2000s is the neutral era where the younger millennials and older zoomers grew up together.
The best thing to come out of the Nintendo Fusion tour is that gif of Frank Iero from MCR performing a “magic trick”.
27:30
i can't tell if pan is genuinely unaware of the existence of guilty gear as an actual franchise or if he's just dissing us but now I want to cry
Guilty Gear is a hoax 😏
fake game
whats the gear guilty of?
Considering how big of a deal Strive is now, I'm sure that's just a joke.
this is where guilty gear actually got it’s name! 😁😁😁
I was a seat filler between the years of 2007 and 09, they were alot of fun to be honest, I mean at the time the humor was funny and they gave out food and drink to the vip and big ticket seats. I filled seats in the vip section my favorite year was 08. Jack black was great! Met a lot of famous people.
it is funny seeing mcr being the support band for bands they would surpass in popularity especially as this was shortly before mcr blew up massively when mtv started playing them regularly
all those bands sucked ass
Yeah I remember when Helena blew up.
This video would never be complete without Code Monkeys, and I'm surprised to see Mr. Larrity making cameos.
I never knew that there was a concert to promote the GameCube, but I did own a GameCube since I was 10. As for Code Monkeys, I remember really liking it back in the day. The unique pixel art style overshadows a lot of the crude humor to me. It also got me to try out River City Ransom.
I never watched Code Monkey before, but I'm surprised you didn't bring up the "HUD" that's present throughout the show, and it changing based on the character or scenario. Very cool detail.
At least with the 2005 VGAs, they had the sense to give Game of the Year to Resident Evil 4
29:11 This show will always have a place in my heart for bringing me Jonathan Coulton. He's more than just robot and monkey jokes, he's got some genuinely beautiful songs and some straight up bops
31:09
That Angel Dust reference hit the nail on the head.
Man I fucking love Grandma's Boy, we truly don't get movies like that anymore, nor do we get material like this period anymore, man the 2000's were truly crazy.
Crazy to see Nintendo nearly got the whole big 4 of 2000s emo bands under one event. The only one missing was Paramore, likely since the album that actually launched them into the mainstream would release years later in 2007.
Yea not to mention Paramore sucks
@@shigglezz684
It's just like your opinion man
Code Monkeys was just this weird thing I vaguely remember as a child, I actually thought I just dreamed it or it was like lost media lol
I've been listening to the Code Monkey opening for years without knowing that it was a show that existed. A fun fact for those who may not know. The opening to Code Monkey is performed by Jonathan Coulton who also did the closing songs for Portal and Portal 2.
14:40 NGL, I respect the interviewer's candid admittance of owning yaoi. I hope she's living her best life.
Code monkeys is such a nostalgic show for me, still re-watch it yearly
* Pan Pizza talks about something from the 2000s *
Viper Room Rumble: "Now this looks like a job for me!"
On the topic of Grandma's Boy, I remember when we used to have a DVD of the movie, except I swear to god there was some weird shit going on with the special features menu. the background was a tv showing off the game from the movie, if I recall, but I swear to god whenever I was alone and looking at the special features menu, there would be this weird face that sort of looked like JP would appear on the television and look back and forth. I shit you not, I'm pretty sure anytime he showed up, he would keep looking back and forth until someone walked into the room and the tv would go back to the game play footage, and I swear one time his eyes literally stopped upon going to the middle while I was watching with my brother and then he disappeared sooner. My brother didn't believe me but I swear there must've been a ghost or something. Can anybody else confirm the strange ghost face thing???? or was my child brain making shit up????
Now I gotta find the DVD again to see that
I have the dvd but haven't looked at the special features in years
That’s some creepypasta shit right there.
I got the DVD a couple months ago. I oughta check it out
Code monkeys will always be one of my favorite G4 shows.
Out of them all, Code Monkeys is what I’m most familiar with. Saw it on Netflix and thought that it looked neat.
8:55 Also I agree with your outrage. Though imagine a world where Kirby Air Ride won
It was on Netflix?! When?
Code Monkeys was so fun. I remember when new episodes were coming out on G4
As a 2000's kid it was a wild time to be alive and yes I'm saying this cause of nostalgia. My fellow 2000's kids rise up!
2000’s were supreme
I prefer to sit down. Plus the 2000's will always be 2nd place to the 90's.
@@JinxSanity yeah, i hated the 00s, i remember it being the brown and grey era and all this atrocious gaymer shit marketing gimmicks. The only good thing was no lgbt, feminism and BLM forced into it

@@j.2512 amen, back when it was LAN parties with no woke liberal sjw snowflakes interrupting my sweet homoerotic gaming sessions with the boys.
The fact the term "munging" existed nearly two decades ago has given me a new sense of fear for my fellow man
The 2000s, the era of drunk frat-boys.
God I remember being a UA-cam and (S)NES emulation addicted kid and stumbling across Code Monkeys clips and thinking it was the coolest shit ever. It truly was a time to be alive.
Finally, the culmination of Pan’s game review career
Early 2000s did alot cool stuff for video games. Disney tried to do that in the 2010s but they failed miserably
God that fall out boy segment made me laugh so hard
Nice, a 45 minute video. Also, I'm curious if it was Pan who pioneered the use of old bumpers to set that nostalgic mode in his videos. I've seen a lot of channels doing this lately but Pan was the first.
Ah, the good ol' Video Game Awards.
I remember the 2006 show, where Kingdom Hearts 2 only won a single award out of two nominations.
It was Best Supporting Female Performance, and it was cuz of Tifa who only had like a handful of lines.
Ya might as well have given the award to her appearance in Advent Children.
tifa, of all characters? she only shows up for, what, one or two cutscenes?
@@PixelRoserade Five cutscenes. Outside of cutscenes we got optional text dialogue while exploring, a combat section with her during the big midgame Hollow Bastion Heartless invasion, and a couple matches with her in the Underdrome coliseum's Paradox Cups.
Out of all of that, only four of the cutscenes and the one combat section aren't optional cuz her last scene is after you beat the Sephiroth superboss.
And in terms of story role she's more part of Cloud's subplot if anything. Her whole role is basically just lookin for Cloud which is where the Seph superboss comes in for that plot to be wrapped.
The most she did as a supporting role in the main plot outside of the one combat section I mentioned is just move a portrait which is more cuz of her "looking for Cloud" thing.
@@cillbipher2613 ah, right. i forgot. it's been a hot minute since i've played II, so my memory regarding cutscenes is a little foggy.
Code Monkeys deserves another chance!
Great episode! Thanks!
I loved code monkeys but it would need reworked to be a hit today.
Honestly, the type of humour in Code Monkeys gives me this feeling of nostalgia
Totally
Code Monkeys deserves its own video from this channel funniest bit is the creator was correct about his show being viewed on UA-cam or some other platform
“Fake games with titles like ‘“Guilty Gear”’ 😂😂
I don't remember ever watching Code Monkeys, yet this video triggered a vivid memory of hearing the whole theme song on TV as a kid.
Grandmas Boy is one of the greatest comedies ever made. I watch it yearly.
There was a period from 2019-2021 where I watched it at least twice a month, what a fuckin time to be alive
Grandmas boy is a cinematic masterpiece
This and talladega nights the 2000s was a good place for comedy at that time(except the adams sandler movies).
26:46 That's actually funny when you remember "Geist" exists.
I'm surprised you haven't covered Video Game Vixens yet. An absolutely wild show
I remember the Freshly Baked Games segment from your Momocon panel, so happy this video is finally out in full!
My favorite parts are you mentioning Nintendo Fusion Tour and Code Monkeys
Oh nice, I was there too. It was cool seeing previews of this video and the Loki IRL pilot.
I got through 40 minutes of this video before I realized it was a 40 minute video. That’s pretty good Pan
Code Monkeys is probably one of my favorite shows ever, and It came out at the perfect time for little 11 year old me and my friends who had just started smoking weed
YES! I've been waiting for this video, G4 was a major part of my childhood (specifically code monkeys) excited to watch the full thing
Grandma's Boy and Code Monkeys are my childhood. Happy to see you review these two hidden gems.
You are watch Grandma's boy?
Ah, the Nintendo Fusion Tour, that brings me back. Missed like 2 bands waiting in line to play Twilight Princess, but the line was capped with my friend and I at the end, so being the last to play made it pretty memorable.
Great video!
Turning 30 this year, everything in the video is absolute pure nostalgia. I vividly remember watching that "order of the light" episode as an ~11 year old kid and thinking how I wanted to be just like them when I grew up lmao. What a fucking decade to be pre-teen/ young teen.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. Glad I’m not the only one who feels the way you do lmao
FINALLY A NEW REBELTAXI VIDEO, also have you ever talked about a Ps1 game called Slap Happy Rhythm Busters on this channel? Its a pretty fun game
Someday, it's style is perfect for me
I like the new design layout and transitions and such Pan. It’s very Neo-esque and cyberpunk. I think the new direction is gonna be great for future videos. But yeah to the video, I do Code Monkeys on G4 along the Spike TV Game Awards when Jack Black had a tantrum and Batman Arkham City won GOTY (I was a mega Halo fan back then so growing up I was expecting Halo to win lol).
I don’t remember the Fresh Baked games but damn people were so desperate for new games via testicular injuries. Never heard of Blaztoid as well but that shit looks stupidly fun. I probably was too young to remember Nintendo Fusion Tour but man that just smells like teen spirit, literally. The last two shows besides CodeMonkeys never heard of. Huh.
Wtf you got the Code Monkeys to say “RebelTaxi”!?
The aesthetics and vibes on these videos are always on point.
Grandmas boy is unironically one of my favorite movies ever
Yeah I got the director’s cut of it. It’s just a dumb fun movie

that andrew wk VGA clip randomly popped into my head last night, so i think it’s safe to say that was a warning of things to come
You finally did it! You did the Code Monkeys review! Just like what we were talking about at South Texas Comic Con. I'm glad you understand how hard pixel art is because pixel art doesn't rotate like that. As a game designer, I've spent hours trying to get every pixel right. I work with 32-bit sprites and I have to keep everything else in scale. Also, having Larrity show up was hilarious, I hope you keep doing it. He accurately represents Texas, unfortunately.
You know i feel the woman nterviewing Fallout Boy was REALLY trying too hard to be cool and edgy 😬 Really hope she didn't get fired but, if she did knowing Nintendo i wouldn't be surprised 😂
Dudes at Nintendo probably didn't even know what a "yaoi" even is lmao.
Jessica Chobot has made a pretty good career for herself so it worked out
Yet another spectacular video from an excellent creator. The vibe and direction of these videos just keep getting better and better. You are really nailing the television style format. Keep it up!
If you do another episode, you should try Game Over (2004). It was this weird little 3d animated family sitcom set in the video game world with patrick warburton as the dad character. It only had 6 episodes but it might be worth a look into.
He did talk about it briefly in a 2016 video. I think it was top ten biggest rip offs/coincidences.
Staying up late to watch Fresh Baked Videogames and Gamehead felt really special. It was stuff from "my" world on basic cable framed as something manly and cool. Plus they introduced me to Mega64, so that's pretty nice.
Both Code Monkeys and Grandma's Boy I stumbled across in the early 2010s. CM i found while scrolling throw Netflix in the early summer of 2013. And GB, my grandmother had it on dvd. I don't know why a 70 yo woman had it. It was one of the man dvds I was given after she passed away.
They're not great, but I enjoy the hell outta them. My favorite quote in Grandma's Boy when Alex shouts "Jeff's a fucking liar, Timmy"!
Finally someone bringing up code monkeys in the modern day
Love these gaming on tv vids, the DXP, E3 and MTV video mods are some of my favorite rebeltaxi videos
Code Monkey's was awesome back in its day. Used to make time to watch new episodes when they premiered. It was only two seasons so it was like a flash in the pan. It hasn't aged the best, but when I was 14, it was the "greatest show on tv".
The code monkeys segment brought back sooooo much nostalgia of me when I was 14 bored because all my homies got off before 2am but I was loaded off of like 8 mtn dew cans so I would stay up all night and watch that show on Netflix in like 2012; Literally forgot Code Monkeys existed lol
30:15 that is SO Charlie from Hazbin saying "bitch"
Edgy gamer shows, classic 2000s.
The Nintendo fusion tour sounds insane! My favorite band Motion City Soundtrack was there which surprised me. At the same time I shouldn’t be, they were constantly touring around that time. Awesome band you guys should check them out
Damn, Cofe Monkeys brings back some memories. Use to watch G4 as a kid when i could only dream of gaming...
