"imagine if SEGA put sex appeal in a sonic game"
Rouge the bat:
The sonic the Hedgehog games can best be described as HOT CHICK HEAVEN
Removing the Nymphs after this game was the worst decision to make
Fun fact! Edith up, the red nymph, had sprites that appeared in the same style as Rayman legends… but it was only found in Fiesta Run, one of Rayman’s many mobile runner games and wasn’t used anywhere in the game leading it to be scrapped
"Confusingly horny."
Mon ami, the game is French.
And the French gave us Totally Spies. So the French have a long history of putting the creative team's barely concealed fetishes in kids media.
@@PlebNC more like, the french aren't puritans :)
I swear, the US is so weird about sex. Simultaneously obsessed and horrified with it.
@@MadsterV Yeah the US is weirdly fine with extreme violence and gore but they draw the line a clothed softcore T&A.
Meanwhile Japan and China are the exact opposite, being uncompromisingly horny to the point of basically kiddie fiddling while being hyper sensitive about violence especially dismemberment.
barely clothed nymphs, enemies inflating, all nymphs eaten by monster, dragon swallowing rayman becomes bossfight, undead boss is a giantess, this just reeks of the dev's barely disguised fetishes.
@johnt.sunderland7312 he also might be a necrophilic due to the undead giantess
Considering what came out about Ubisoft after “cleaning up” their image, it makes you think.
my boy just saw a summary of one of the best platformers, and all he says is how it reeks off fetishes.
Firstly, Artists design characters. Devs design the game.
Secondly, bro, where are the r34 artists that you use to release "stress" to daily gonna find content, if not video games.
Thirdly, why are you thinking that? You can't just see a fun, colourful, game filled with mystic beasts and abilities without thinking "It's all about sex"? Do you think angry birds is made to fulfil their animators desires to f*ck birds and toss animals at shit?
I get Ubisoft is not great, but the devs and artists, whether horny or not, are not the company. They are people like you and me. If you take anything out of this comment, take this out of it.
They didnt have to make the nymphs/ faries that thick , but they did
The question isn't "why did they make them that way?"
The question rather is "why not?", heh
Hilarious fact: the manual calls the fairies the "Bodacious Nymphs" ("Bodacious" means "Sexy", by the way).
The french version went a bit further, but there's a play of word a bit complicated.
On their website, the section of the nymphs was called "Attaque d'essaim devastateurs" (Devastating swarm attack"), followed by "(A ne pas confondre avec son homonyme)", wich means "(To not mistake with its homonym)".
The idea is that "D'essaims" (of swarms) sounds like "des seins" (of breasts), therefore making the article : "Attaque des seins dévastateurs" (Devastating Breasts Attack).
5:44 boy you ain’t slick, I saw that “shower with your dad simulator” file 💀💀💀
those nymphs genuinely rearranged some wires in my brain as a kid, and i couldnt be more grateful for that 🙏🙏
Actually Captain Laserhawk meant to portray how Ubisoft mistreated his character over the years. Even the Rabbids were portrayed as monsters that destroyed his world.
pretty sure this guy just used clips from random videos to make his video seem like he knew what hes talking about lol
@@monkemanmma Is it because of the Gay stuff or the character death?
I was gonna mention this, I really liked his characterisation and I'm not a furry but the cow lady was sexy ffs
UA-cam randomly recommended me this video and I'm just looking at comments about the game's nymphs cause it's fucking hilarious
Edith Up, the fairy of the food-based level, is conversely also mega-thick even compared to the other fairies
They liked putting little details in this game

It was a fun way to convey how all these characters were made, from Polokus the bubble dreamer. Bringing his dreams to life through bubbles. But yeah it has that weird undertone because of it
"imagine if nintendo made a game where fox mccloud knocked up krystal, had to start paying child support, and developed a crippling heroine addiction before eventually blowing his own brains out."
sounds like someone needs to play some star fox command.
(okay no, none of its endings are THAT bad, but man. if you've never experienced...)
Haven't played Command, but I did watch Somecallmejohnny's vid on it. I saw enough, lol
@@ASkeleton my favorite ending is the one where fox has a midlife crisis and becomes a nascar driver.
@@TorgoHiggins Fun fact - he becomes an F-Zero racer actually, so it ties in the series where Captain Falcon's from lol
@@TorgoHiggins mine was the one where he was holding his child on his shoulders next to a happy crystal
Why I love Rayman origins:
-1. Rayman
-2. Multiplayer
-3. Fun
-4. Sexy nymphs
-5. Musics
Everything is IMPORTANT
crazy how origins was so good they just straight up put a good chunk of it into legends for free
Only two thirds of it though. I'd still recommend everybody get the original.
The fairies went straight from coming out of fantasy to coming out of "fantasy"
I didn't watch the video...so explain how their look changes
If you're curious about what language the nymphs are using...
It's actually pig Latin, a somewhat forgotten language.
Another interesting fact about pig Latin, is that it has also been used as a form of secret code or secret language.
Such as carrying out plans, strategies and so on.
So those not versed in pig Latin will have no idea what it said.
The Most Replayed Part Is When You Showed All Fairies 💀💀
Falling Society 😭
18:36 no way the mosquito rides you instead when you play as the frog, that's so funny
The portrail of Rayman in Laserhawk is actualy pretty good when you watch his entire storyark. It´s basicly a metaphor for his franchise being used as the face of a company, or the case of the series the face of the goverment propaganda, being replaced at the earliest convinience, going downhill from there, only to reemerge with a vegance.
Edit: In the context of the show he is technically the one who saves the day by killing the highest members of the corrupt goverment in a crusade of rightious fury.
"Ah the French" - Orson Welles
Unrelated, but Welles did a wonderful conference in France back in the 80's.
Lmao this video could had been a short with just that.
Why is this game so horny? The French
@@rayvenkman2087 You can't escape him...The Shadow knows. *maniacal laughter*
I'll always remember how Legends has every single level from this game, so you can play nearly all of it, besides the first level of each world (with the nymphs), and it has every character from the original game, some even with updated graphics, besides the nymphs.
I think the reason the Nymph levels were cut from Legends was because they act as tutorial levels for each ability.
However, since Rayman and Co. have all abilities right out of the box in Legends, the tutorial levels weren't needed and thus omitted.
@@ASkeleton And drastically so! There is this book titled "The history of Rayman" that AFAIK only came out in France around the same time as Legends that chronicles pretty much every single Rayman media ever and it goes well out of it's way to pretend the nymphs never existed. Quite a shame if you ask me.
I really adore listening to people talk about their favourite games. The appreciation of the details, the enthusiasm, the knowledge of every little bit of a game... I've never liked Rayman, but I liked seeing it through your eyes. Thanks for making this
I didn't know sans undertale was making videos
the sandbagging of the ubiart engine is a fucking travesty, I would've loved to see it become the main focus of ubisoft going forward
I found a reddit post saying the code was donated to Godot, but couldn't find anything else confirming.
@@ASkeleton god I can only hope and pray. If that isn't the case... yeah, we're having another library of alexandria situation here losing an amazing game/art engine.
IIRC Michel Ancel even wanted to make ubiart open source but after rayman origins came out ubisoft vetoed the idea.
@@wallyhackenslacker okay I have like no respect for ubisoft now. Or rather, have like negative respect for them at this point, and that negative respect has more negative respect on top of it.
>each fairy is eaten by a monster
>dragon swallowing rayman as a boss fight
someone on the teams into vore
Also someone clearly had an inflation fetish.
The enemies inflating when Rayman jumps onto them...
Got hit with the "Watch a random video from a UA-cam channel I've never even see before of a game I barely know anything about" urge. Good video 👌
I am an european comic artist and studied a lot of french artists. In many european cultures, when it comes to suggestive themes within otherwise cartoony and/or juvenile works of art such as Rayman Origins, its very common to see those traits being casually included, which results very much jarring to other cultures (especially the US). When you consider the developers of Rayman Origins (and Legends) are from France, it makes a lot of sense.
In short, you are welcome.
When i was growing up, my family had our wii in our family room. This meant that any time one of the nymphs showed up, my mom could just walk right in. It was a bit awkward to say the least
AH yes back when Ubisoft still had some functioning braincells and apparently a functional Sausage.
*when Ubisoft was capable of thinking with both of their heads rather than neither.
"What the hell is this channel?"
Skeleton in a poncho walks onto screen and I have never subscribed fucking faster in my life.
Who needs R34 when you can hop on some Rayman Origins and glaze to the fairies? 💀☠
As someone who's liked Rayman for quite a while now, I can say, I honestly like how Rayman is depicted in Captain Lazerhawk.
Rayman was already kinda raunchy for a while, but, I think it does good at portraying a Rayman who's been displaced from his world controlled by dreams governed by the black and white morality of literal dreams vs literaly nightmares, into an almost overwhelming dystopia where things aren't so clear cut, a place where his sense of heroism and limited morality could be exploited to turn him into a tool for abuse.
Bro, it goes against everything I have heard about Captain Laserhawk and Rayman's portrayal. Now I feel morally obligated to agree with this skeleton guy out of not wanting to hurt his feelings... I never watched Captain Laserhawk BTW, I was never interested, but it seemed people had a mixed reaction to the show, especially with Rayman's portrayal. I guess all I can do is just see for myself to see if the show really was that good or bad. I just, don't wanna offend the skeleton guy for enjoying something he finds childhood destroying
@@Onemanshowoff Why care if it offends him? Everyone's entitled to their own opinion.
@plaguedocgames7364 He sounded so distraut and pissed. I know it's all opinions, but there is that lingering fear that people will think less of me if I enjoy contentious media
@@Onemanshowoff If people think less of you after an opinion about something as minimal as a game then they aren’t worth talking to.
@@Clownbelt-u2s Agreement, and I'm sure skeleton guy isn't that kinda guy
Rayman's not retired he's just doing Brawlhalla full time these days
As long as Ubisoft still owns Rayman there is still the possibility he and the Nymphs could help out in Assassin's Creed.
I could imagine a secret that gives you a percent chance to summon rayman for him to do a long range punch, then disappear immediately after doing the peace out meme
When Origins came out I was so confused to why the Nythms were so.... Lascivious....
@@Vespyr_ ok, but what purpose does that serve in the narrative?
why would anyone describe any aspect of the fairies as "upsetting"? everyone loves all of them, the only upsetting thing about them is how upset i feel when i have to choose a favorite because they're all so good.
Easy, Big Fairy Goth GF of course only those who have counquered The Land of The Livid Dead such as myself are worthy,
I don't know why the designers in Rayman Origins were smoking when they designed the nymphs... but I'm sure it was good shit because DAMN
I like when you gush about music mister skeleton man
Edith up (the red one) is best babe. I will die on this hill
@@ASkeleton I may or may not have gotten art of her since she is kinda under appreciated and I can admit to that
@@gizzmohunter6906almost agree with U. Edith is my 2nd fav nymph, my Fav One is Annetta Fish.
...also mind sharing that art? Y'know, helping a brother out.
That boy ain't right.
Hope to see legends too!
I just didn’t like it. Felt less creative & tried too hard by saying, “Hey, did you love these Rayman Origins levels? Here they are again!” & added copyrighted music to make stage design somewhat creative.
@@braydenleaderofthetirkins1143 overall I think it has less good levels but there’s definitely fantastic levels in legends. As soon as you get past the first world it gets better. Also the hub is just lame and boring, it feels so lifeless compared to the oirigins map.
Dude I just want to say your going places this is my favourite video game essay I've seen in a long time good work man
Nypmh fairies in this game is the exact equivalent of, "ok here me out"
"hear me out" is supposed to be for conventionally unattractive characters 💀 the nymphs just have an exaggerated hourglass shape, that's a basic standard of beauty for women lmao. if you say "hear me out", it's gotta be for some real crazy shit, like a xenomorph or something
“No globox, I will not ‘hear you out’. Please seek professional help!”
21:05 As a Mexican this is better than any thing Disney has done for Mexico.
No es difícil diferenciar un trabajo hecho con voluntad artística y pasión de las porquerías que hoy en dia inundan todos los mercados. La inclusión no es lo malo, lo malo es que es un intento desesperado para sacarte todo el dinero que puedan antes de que te des cuenta de que es un robo.
@@NostraDavid2 Ehhh yeah although the message was terrible, probably because they spent all the budget that would've gone to writing on the visuals lolol
2:10 sounds like a potential ending for Starfox Command
1:45 It's called a GIGA-CHAD ARCH, brother! And that's a chad-ass way to do it!
Honestly, this video just slaps! Can really tell the absolute love for the game being poured into this one. Hopefully you've convinced at least a few people to check this honest to god gem of a game out dude
Ah yes. Rayman Origins, the game I was playing while everyone else was playing Skyrim. The amazing music, the fantastic gameplay, the sexual awakenings! Why did they make those fairies so sexy?! Your thumbnail guy is right, there aint nothing confusing about how horny this game could get at times!
Is the first video about Rayman Origins I saw, I'm glad that was produced by you
Rayman massacring a cult, snorting coke, and saying “fuck” is a great example of my childhood catching up to me. Thanks Ubisoft👍
"Confusingly" horni?
Nah, nah, there's no confusion here of any kind, lol
Them Nymphs are simply the cherry on top of this amazing game, hah~
the music played when we save the nymphs is even more sexualized 5:48
Great content as usual! Congratulations on another video that has broken over 200k views! I've been rooting for you since the beginning. You're such a unique voice for videogame essayists.
This game used to be mine and my brother's childhood. We beat the game several times, and while we enjoyed the chase levels, we never actually beat all of them or collected all of the teeth, we always dreamed about what would be behind that door when we got every tooth. We never looked things up as kids and because we were so young we never quite had the ability to beat some of the harder chase levels, so it always just kind of sat on our minds begging us to answer the question someday. Our imaginations got big imagining what would happen if we got all of the teeth, I imagined a whole collection of new levels, maybe where you play as the villans instead, my brother imagined a collection of new bosses to fight, we never found out, because at some point the PS3 disc was destroyed, until legends came out and all the origins levels were mixed into it. With how much we played origins it was quite shocking to see a boss fight we hadn't before years later.
They gave those fairies the ENTIRE bakery
Now to be fair, Rayman Origins takes place before Rayman One. Clearly Betilla was still maturing and was about to leave her old rocking college years behind her after she uh. Made Rayman.
Man i came here because thicc lady on the thumbnail but honestly? Your comedic timing is impicable! The little live action skits had be wheezing so hard i was tearing up and in all my years of watching video reviewers, I've never had that? And its been a long while, grew up on TGWTG and turned 25 recently.
I am very excited to see the next video, skeleton man. Keep it up!
Thanks sans undertale
"Any amount of horniness in a Rayman game is highly unusual"
I know Ly in Rayman 2 is pretty forgettable but come on now, her outfit practically looks naked. Yeah... turns out it's a bodysuit, not just plum colored body paint covering up naughty bits... sssure, I totally believe she's wearing a bodysuit that matches her EXACT skin tone even on the archived art from the game's website where they claimed she "dresses like the People of Prhys".
Sounds to me like they made the character and then came up with the excuses after. Fine strategy by me.
As a kid I legit thought that was her skin and not a body suit. She appears in another game (one of the GBA Rabbids ones I think) and it’s shown to be a bodysuit cus it’s off on one shoulder.
Bro, i just wanna say this is one of the best game coverage videos i have ever seen, thanks for the great content!
amazing video, I remembered as a kid how hard it was to gather all the teeth to gain access to the last world and the last fairy, seeing these one eyed chests gave me PTSD , but I was so proud when I finally managed to get all of them.
I've always thought that Ubisoft refusing to port Rayman Origins to the Nintendo Switch was one of the dumbest things I've ever witnessed them doing. Then I remembered that this was the same company that made the infamous "Quadruple A" game Skull and Bones. I also remembered when their CEO came out and told gamers that they should get use to not owning their games. Man, the hatred against this company is well warranted.
They’re one of the cases where the word “retard” needs to be redefined to be an insult against these asshats who thinks they know shit except the only shit they know is the stuff they’re caked in. Anything else would be too charitable to describe their moronic business decisions.
If you know a worst word than that, then by all means cook it up. That CEO better get used to not having his money someday.
I honestly really love Origins a lot, it’s a fantastic game that introduced me to platformers.
Also, to comment about the Laserhawk Rayman, the whole point of the show is these remixed versions of Ubisoft characters. They’re new insights to characters or interpretations of previously existing characters like with bullfrog. He doesn’t start out as this bumbling addict, there’s a snowball effect and he does have depth the clips online don’t give. Honestly I kinda don’t want to spoil as it has a really interesting (probably unintentional) allegory to Rayman’s relationship to his parent company. I know you seem to have a distaste for it but I honestly recommend it if you haven’t watched it already.
I think I will check it out sometime. You're right. It's not fair to judge based on clips alone.
@@ASkeleton Same thing with the Mario Rabbids DLC, it's obvious the devs love and respect him, if anything the roast only shows that those devs are as frustrated as the fans with how Ubisoft has been managing the franchise.
love to see a new creator blowing up, really hope you review legends
I love how he felt the need to focus on Edith Up out of all nymphs specifically
2:00 Pretty sure he doesn't have arms here and those are just the coat's sleeves using his hands as support
Glad this video was different than what I was expecting lol this channel is great definitely subscribing keep it up!
The only Ubisoft game with "Origins" in the title that's worth playing
Shoutouts to the one of if not the greatest platformer of all time.
Free my man Rayman Ubisoft, you don't deserve him.
The secret final level is probably my favorite level in the game. I really like the difficult fast paced speedrunning levels, and having it be the ultimate test of your skills from the entire game is super fun.
Man I love your style, voice and delivery. I think you definitely have a place on you tube
Nice to Sans from undertale become a UA-camr after leaving the underground
ALSO YES DO LEGENDS I LOVE RAYMANNNNNNNNNN
When those Nymphs scenes popped up my parents just stared at me lol
Just gonna put it out here, this is one of the most impressive and well written video essay’s I’ve ever seen in my life, the writing editing and transitions to different topics are so smooth, the jokes are funny, they flow alongside the topic at hand, their not horribly repetitive ,and they don’t overshadow the research or topic at hand, and you’ve done an excellent job at selling me on Raman Origins, I hope your channel has a bright future, you’ve earned a definite sub
Wow, glad to see you really took off! I remember your DQ video's, and your new Rayman Legends vid is amazing!
Rayman in captain laserhawk was fucking great. Also he didn't have arms it's just the coat. He didn't shoot up random nobodies but some higher ups of the Templars from assassin's creed.
Laserhawk Rayman was great tho, it depicts what bringing the actual rayman into a cyberpunk dystopia would be like
I played this with my sister and our friends years ago when we where little.
Best game ever, at least in my Memorie and I know my Memorie is right with this one!
Also we then played Rayman Legends, also great!
The secret levels! We called them "Whooo Levels" because of the sound when one is revealed.
We played through the entire game in a matter of...
Years.
But it was the best experience ever! (probably nostalgia because we actually argued half of the time and got very frustrated and angry, but hey we also had tons of fun together!)
This video brought back those wonderful memories so thanks!
And it reminded me we still aren't completely finished with this game.... yet!
The very last secret level with the skullhead guys with the red teeth - its still missing!
After all those years I still have no idea what's behind that door he's protecting, so thanks for not giving a spoiler and encouraging players to find it out themselves!
Now I only have to figure out if the PS3 is still running....
I LOVE this game!!!
I have never hit that subscribe button faster than in this case. This channel truly is underrated !
I like the rayman from captain lazer hawk, I get the feeling you haven't even seen the whole show and have only seen the clips with rayman no context. Or maybe you have seen it idk i cant read ur mind also WHOA BOOOBA
Actually from a comment below you he does say he’s only seen clips of the show
@@seandorama5932 Yeah, he should give the show a shot it's pretty good
If you grew up in euorpe in the 80s, you know why the fairies were built like that. Childrens media used to hit different. I guess the youth have their Pixar Moms now, so in about 15 years we'll get confusingly butt-centric platformers
Big boobs is not family friendly, so to differentiate they used the hips instead. Hubba hubba Disney Moms.
YOOOOO! I remember seeing your videos on iron fisticle and castle in the darkness years ago! It's great to see that you're finally blowing up!
WE NEED LEGENDS LET THIS SKELETON COOK. Amazing video, liked and subscribed

If you enjoyed this then check out my video on Rayman Legends!
Woah. Congrats on the reception of this video! This was for sure my first video from your channel. I am excited to see what you got cooking up soon.
yo you should actually watch captain lazerhawk cuz everything you were bitching about really isn’t out of place and actually makes sense if you watch the show just fyi
Nice
Ah I was just going to leave a comment about that! You really made me remember how great rayman was!!
I'm totally a fan, the refs on their own are nice but he editing is chef's kiss. (>'.')^
