i love how tboi calls back to edmunds roots in not only just the ??? character but also the pseudo dress-up feature when getting passives and seeing isaac become more and more deformed. also, edmund still uses him as a mascot as seen in the blue king collection on steam.
And with the dress-up shit of ed, i have to say edmund is totally crazy
Thats funny how people complain about Tainted ??? being gross... Gross character... In The Binding of Isaac...
me whenever there is poop joke in tboi (very surprised
@@wagslawgHello brother
@@Cains_stuff fellow cain 🤝
@@wagslawg yes hello my good sir 🤝
fr, what game are they playing.
I just realized blue baby's the boss of Chest because it's Isaac's corpse inside the chest
How you never realises that
I wonder what that makes the lamb is then
@@lileofficial4273 idk issac's idea/believe that he's the devil/antichrist for "ruining" his parents marriage?
bruhhh this flew past me
@@lileofficial4273 peoples think it's the rappresentation of Jesus in Isaac but I'm not sure
My boy blue baby became a very fun character to play, and deals with the devil with the cost of one heart is such a nice improvement
As someone who has never played or dipped into binding of Isaac, the amount of times I heard poop is amazing for me.
i love how the outro is him just staring at camera
of course; we should know if he has blue baby or not.
@@VeryRGOTI i laughed way to hard at that
The subtitles at 11:52 say you
I recall fondly those dead baby games when i was a 11 year old.
Thats how i met edmunds style of art during his edgy phase.
His designs carried me towards making art myself,and my intrest in biology.
Bless that disturbed neckbeard.
The "Indie Scene" in Dead Baby VG Dress-Up isn't a new mode or anything- rather, it just gives you new accessories! You can make the Alien Homind and others with them.
Tainted blue baby is literally twitter
-it's blue
-it's full of shit
That’s not true anymore, I mean Twitter (X) is still full of crap but it isn’t blue anymore
@@n7x BLACK CREEP ---TBOI.
Tainted ??? In Greed Mode is just wild. I had a lot of fun doing that one.
tainted blue baby is wild in general
I love T.B.B, he's tons of fun and his mechanics are definitely interesting but also fun. If he also got the Lil Larva buff as well, I'd die laughing because that'd just be busted
Tainted ??? Is just Edmund's personality
Shit?
@@Tommygun_ not just shit
FULL of shit
Exactly, like mines
*chad gif*
This video particularly makes me enjoy Blue Baby more knowing it's like a little memory of Edmunds old games. Also because Tainted Blue Baby just looks funny
"Lean into his poop mechanics"
I swear, there is no other game where you can say that
when i heard it i thought the same thing
I love these videos, it’s very entertaining to learn the biblical origins of the Isaac characters, and I look forward to seeing more in the future! Though I will say, according to Keeper’s page on the Isaac wiki, him and Lost actually might have some small little references to Charon's Obol, which is a tradition in northern Mediterranean cultures, particularly Greek and Roman cultures. As it states on the wiki, “one would place a pair of coins on the deceased's eyes to pay Charon, the ferryman of the river Styx, for the trip across, but also to pay for a return trip from the world of the dead if one was expected. This is further supported by the fact The Lost, whose starting coin is also suspected to be a reference to Charon's Obol, only has one coin and is depicted as a spirit, while Keeper has two and is depicted as a corpse, supposing he paid to bring his body back across the river Styx.” Not biblical, but I thought it’d be worth mentioning in case you or anyone else weren’t aware of that.
One other little thing I was wondering too, do you ever plan to make videos like these about some popular modded characters once you’re finished with the base game’s roster, like Job or Sodom and Gomorrah? Would be pretty neat, but no pressure of course lol
Interesting... Also, I am also interested in the non-canon ones now because IDK much about them
You can tell how Edmund added every item with a varying visual on the character based on his previous works. The dress up games with hundreds of characters has so many combinations like the items in Isaac.
Also I started typing this before you mentioned it
Wanna point out something related to Blue Baby:
The Boonies (creatures part of The Badlands games:like,Cereus Peashy,Carious Weltling) ' skeleton is a Blue Baby.This can be a easter egg or intentional;i've got to ask Edmund.
Later in 2006/2007,Edmund made a design for an "updated" Blue Baby called "Ghost".Worth to point out that it was used in Gish 2 and a prototype called The Book Of Knots.
There once existed a cancelled Dead Baby Dressup game called Dead Baby Dressup 7 / Dead Baby Dressup Infinity.I dunno the exact name,but it was once in Edmund's first website.
ALSO in Gish,the end of level 2-1 features a Blue Baby.The first Carious Weltling features a Blue Baby Head as a cursor.
never thought i would see a man say "poop mechanics"
The final boss of Bumbo, Bygone, is also Blue Baby-like in appearance
I was actually born blue, which gave me an unusual amount of connection and interest to this particular character.
I live the fact that Fr points this out about blue baby. One of my favorite chars.
Completely Misses To Censor 2:24
the slilence at the end 😭😭😭😭
The end stare was so genuine that i felt like a curse was put on me
before the buff the blue baby plush had 98 preorders, now it has 112. More people love him now :)))
tainted blue baby could solo the hush 💀
Not really related but there's also this legend called Baby Blue abouta ritual you do in thw mirror that summons the spirit of a dead child who's either blue because it strangled at birth, or blue ebcauae it died frostbitten
I totally forgor about this
This dude not noticing the… questionable dress up options in the bluebaby dressup games
I had a pretty good T. BB run a while ago.
Then I used the flipped empress card and it just set my hp from 12 to 1.
I dont play him much after that.
Blue Baby was actually the best character in Wrath of the lamb.
Polaroid procs a shield when hit at one or less red health, so high health and Polaroid is what got me through Eternal ???.
The problem I have with tainted blue baby is the fact that his poop mechanic is a roadblock for synergy.
Yeah, you can still shoot tears, but none of the poops synergize with any tear effects or items, and while it’s cool that the poops he creates synergize with each other, every single run just feels the same with him. It’s the same issue as tainted appolyon.
Both of them have this really cool mechanic that isn’t explored or expanded nearly enough.
If poop items and huge tear effects (ludo, brim, C section, tiny planet, mom’s knife etc etc) would synergize with t. bb’s passive poops, then that would change him from a 2/10 to a 7/10 for me!
And same with t. Apollyon.
Some people might say he’d be completely op then, but I mean, so is a good amount of T. Characters.
I’d say, make the damage he deals with throwing poop, actually scale with passive damage. Problem solved AND he’s actually fun to play.
Edmund also mentioned that Brother Bobby was first iteration of blue baby in TBoI
He just stood there
Tainted Blue baby has to be one of the best characters in the game, he is so in debt yet well balanced that makes him an amazing rewarding challenge, yes, he doesn't have acces to bombs, that can be rough, but you can choose to hold a poop bomb for whenever you feel you may need some, or maybe use hold to keep a holy poop and wait for a diahrea ao you can get an absolute crazy dps for bosses.
You also have to be cardul when using poison poops, they are one of the best damage dealers in normal rooms, but also comes at the cost of you maybe blowing up if you throw it at a fire, but oh! You can also make fire poops! Allowing you to turn your already strong poison poops into pretty much nukes, and, again, can be used as bombs to blowing up shopkeepers, rocks, walls, etc.
And while speaking of damage dealers, black poops may be the least interestkng ones, yet still get some good use out of them, room with a lot of small enemies like spiders or flies? Insta clear with a single black poop!
Corn poops are also quite practical, but a bit harder to use, being almost like a turret, spawning up to 3 flies at a time, it is quite usefull in earlier floors, but on later ones tou have to be more precise as to not destroy them so you can get the most out of them.
Need to deal with a particular strong enemy or just need cover? Stone poops! They kill most normal enemies in a single hit, can take quite a beating, and are good to block the path of fast moving enemies!
There is so much about this character that people just ignore, and it's quite sad, this is one of the most in depth characters in the game, and one of my fav aswell, his style of gameplay is reslly unique, keeping poops powerful early in the run, but also keeping them crucial later on, when I beat delirium as T blue baby, it was one of the modt intense fights I've ever had, but also one of the most enjoyable ones, I loved it.
I was expecting you going over the history of blue baby in every Isaac game
5:25 i think its supposed to represent the baby being stillborn
The real miss opportunity was not mentioning Four Souls.
t blue baby is like the ultimate min max character and hes unique af too
Finally, someone preaching about how underrated T. Blue Baby is, my friends call me insane
I got an ad for poo health after the vid what a coincidence
Eyy, I was born a blue baby, not fun. I did play enough of this character to get all of his unlocks in Wrath of the Lamb, also not fun!
"IM GONNA BROWN"
Wow this is in depth, I couldn't do this
Blue baby looks too much like an doll
Tainted ??? is the phrase : "Ma' I shat the bed... Again..."
tainted blue baby made my sinuses do the thing
lol
When I was completing my second dead god, the first character I got all marks on was T Blue Baby, he's really powerful if you get used to his poop mechanics.
T. Blue baby is the closest thing to alchemy in Isaac
I suck at Tainted Blue Baby not because he's bad but because I accidentally blow myself up.
Tainted Blue Baby is seriously the most underrated character! He has so many fun tricks you can do and his runs are literally never bad because you have OP poops to fall back on. If you don't like him, try to learn and experiment with him, please! BECOME A (FECAL)CHEMIST!
I love the A.V.G.M ost that plays in the background haha
“The next one is mutant themed”
I mean, yeah. That and the visible genitals.
I was even inspired by the 2021 blue baby to create a character
This history of blue baby
If i was really in isaac i would not beat a fly with my tears cuz i cant shoot them and i just stay in the main room and not move
blue baby is so underrated smh
ty for the vid :D!
Thanks
If you don't have poop bombs you could use combination of fire and poison poop as one. The more you play the more you can find.
11:40 love the commentary
T-Lost is actually my favorite character
truly a blue baby enthusiast
please don't stare at me again.
To try tainted blue baby I have to unlock him first lmao
I hate T blue baby because of the fact that you can't cycle between poops. You have to waste a lot of poop just for one single bomb, or if you throw a poop at an enemy it breaks leaving whatever poop you liked to be destroyed because of a zombie.
Man.
Thats for balance stuff, also hold
hold.
I remember in a q&a stream by the guy who made anti birth and worked on repentance that he said he really wanted to rework the ??? Boss fight.
1:58 ayo whats that is the middle of the screen looks kinda sus
I'm surprised you didn't talk about bygone in TLoB because its just ??? But he exploded
This might be obv, but I think its interesting that issac knows dead people oftej poop themselves that either means he's aware he's dead or he's seen someone die before :> (or its just ed adding poop because he can)
You really not mentioned This Is A Cry For Help comics? Like, you make a video about his history and not even mention his origin???????
That's my favorite character bro
ayo uhhhh what's going on in the top right of the "mutant" theme
you point that out even when the guy who makes those dressup games made a game about rape and stillborn children?
@@heroinlover9000 Oh I know that Eddy would have that in the game. I'm just saying it hasn't been censored on UA-cam.
dude who uploaded it forgot but the videos still up so i guess youtube doesn't have a problem
I totally understand how Soiled ??? works, I just don't like it. If I could change a few things about him, I wish the poops scaled with his damage, he got more poops, he got certain poops from having certain Items, and he shouldn't be able to pick up poops off the ground if he's holding the most he can. I'd also like him to get a poop back if he destroys one on the ground (if they're destroyed before even reaching the ground it doesn't count and Bombs grant a poop for every obstacle it breaks). This way, he gets a slight advantage in rooms full of poop and if you're throwing out poops just to use a specific one, you're not wasting all of them. If they wanted to encourage even more strategy or anti-cheesing, the poop you get back for destroying them could always be the same kind as the one you destroyed (with Bombs giving the basic poop and a 10% chance for a Bomb poop back).
Would make him a much more synergistic and strategic character without taking away his difficulty (you'd only start with the basic poop, corn poop, and creep poop).
I’m pretty sure he was made to hold only 7 poops and pick up even at max on purpose. If it wasn’t like that people would just cycle for hallowed ground/bomb poops and drop anything else, limited space and the need to use less impressive poop in order to pick up new ones are probably meant to encourage actually using every possible poop. Plus Hold already gives some leeway for basically allowing a bomb poop on command at all times. If I were responsible for game balance I’d just give poops more synergy, right now there’s only poison poop/fart+burning poop and liquid diarrhea+most other poops, I’d appreciate more effects like the stone poop boosting durability of all nearby poops, basic poop copying the effect of a nearby poop and corn poop flies turning into locusts of pestilence/war/death/famine if poison/burning/black/holy poops respectively are near it.
And this idea would be less of a balancing question and more just cool details, but I think Midas’ touch could add golden poops that inflict the effect and drop a coin to ???’s arsenal, petrified poop could increase the odds of getting stone poops, meconium could increase the odds of getting black poops, the virus could add red poops to the arsenal, lil larva could spawn locusts from special effect poops and E. Coli could add a very low chance to create a giant poop. Overall contact effect and poop-related items (and trinkets, there’s actually so many bad poop trinkets it’s incredible) are quite underpowered, so I’d appreciate if they had special interactions with a couple characters and the already brimming with synergies tainted blue baby seems like a very decent candidate
2:22
You need to censor that to not get in trouble with the UA-cam I think.
damn i didn't even realize you were a bind boy
Dude, I suck at Tainted ??? and I still think he's one of the coolest/best characters.
what about the history of Hot Cross Buns?!?!??!?!!
shut up meg
The binding of isaac is my favorite dress up game
Lilith please. My mom told me that she was Adam's wife wtf
she was i think
yea, she was made by god from da clay but she wanted to be adams equal and got punished real bad for it
her story got scrubbed from the bible tho
I may be wrong, but I think her whole deal was she was Adams first wife, and she didn't want to be Adams wife so she got turned into a baby killing vampire cat.
@@genericname2747 what?
@@pepelagarto8110 She didn't want to marry someone and now she's a cat (although some stories say she's a bird, or just a normal demon) who kills babies. It's simple.
Jk jk I don't understand either.
finally someone understands that t blue baby is strong as hell, PRAISE!
Kelvin did a English or Spanish at the end
There is one solution, Just give ??? Dirty mind! It's that simple
so no one's going to talk about how sexualized blue baby was in the past?
^ person with gore fetish
look who's talking
I don't hate tainted ???, but I do have a little trouble playing as him. I will now go play him, though.
Well, Keeper can be representation of greed, and greed is one of the seven deadly sins. What can be said more?
Video starts at 6:20
Yep that's newgrounds alright.
1:45 nice symbol
His shit-eating grin became a bit too real
Isn't Bygone from Bumbo technically a blue baby?
Appollion and bethany, lilith
Didn’t know you liked Isaac.
Cool ending
Can you do a biblical history of Apollion? (Also what do the runes mean and souls mean)
This video will be demonetized
Rick and mortis 0:27
I think the reason I dislike him is because of the explosions from the gas poops + fire, it can be hard to avoid if you don’t focus. If he was immune to the damage from those then I’d fully agree with saying he’s one of the best but a character with self-damage built in isn’t very fun imo (I have every mark with him, so I think I’m allowed to speak)
*he
i do really like tainted bb but the thing is, i got a keyboard problem that only happens inside isaac and not anywhere else, keyboard double input...
i cant use my favorite actives or mechanics because of the keyboard pressing double inputs (only in isaac), if anyone knows, please tell me, i hate not being able to chain dark esau or hold poop.
bluebaby is so awesome
3:41 the quality too-
i am going to wash him
SUPERB VIDEO!!!!! I’ve been waiting for this one. Thank you Burger Queen! ??? Is easier now 😭😭😭😭😭
