Fun fact: Apparently the voice for MJ in ready 2 rumble was him actually providing the voice work using his regular voice and not his protective high pitched voice
Oh yeah, the Simpsons staff told a story that when they asked MJ to record voice lines, he arrived with a second person in tow. They realized, the second guy was a sound-a-like to voice any lines that MJ was to sing.
people forget him actual voice was deep af, he pranked some people once and its recorded claiming to not be home and to be some worker only after did they realize that was him using his real voice lol
@barletproductions yea there's a video of him accepting an award and he started speaking with his regular voice by accident and tried to cover it up by coughing and asking could everyone hear him ok 😂. MJ was funny as hell man
I'd say Fred Durst's inclusion in that weird Fight Club game from 20 years ago is much weirder, especially since I don't remember it even having music.
The fight club fighting game somehow manages to miss the point harder than anything or anyone else, and that is compared to some very stiff competition
Dimitri Vegas, a Belgian DJ who was, for some reason, an alternate skin for Sub Zero in Mortal Kombat 11, complete with his own dubs of all the voice lines, and IIRC, anyone who posted gameplay of his skin on UA-cam got a DMCA strike or something. It was such a bizarre kerfuffle.
Funny thing is in "The Walking Dead" Negan 100% COULD have gotten mauled by a tiger! "The Kingdom" HAD a tiger as a pet when Negan was a threat so that could have happened in the show, it didn't, but it was possible! LOL
7:16 Actually, it's because of that one guy on Reddit who writes long and seemingly insightful comments that dovetail into "..nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table."

Wu tang clan got their own fighting game with Shaolin Style, where you can have four person matches with Ol' Dirty Bastard, The Rza, Method Man, and over a dozen other rappers.
Fred Durst was also in WWF Raw! That was my immediate thought when i saw the thumbnail, and was surprised to learn he was in a different wrestling game as well lol
@2:01 For anyone who does not know Hiragana Andy's t-shirt says Shoganai. If I read the Yo correctly I am still learning Japanese and I am still not used to more stylized hiragana yet but Shoganai means nothing can be done or It’s beyond our control. Very interesting shirt.

She has criticized others for rude jokes during some of their live streams, and then while playing Jackbox her solution to holes in your jeans was an invention she called "Paint Your Taint". It caught me off-guard, but was also absolutely hilarious.
@@TJBrumfield to be fair to her she was simply thinking out loud when she said something along the lines of “no this is too rude I cant do that” wich lead to the others trying to convince her to go for it and after a bit she caved so technically the entirety of oxboxtra is at fault for that one. They did try to take it back immediately after she actually agreed to doing it but she simply responded with nope too late now and well the rest was history. Also i don’t think it’s really criticizing and more so friendly teasing. I don’t think any one of them actually minds a rude joke or two every once in a while.
I played a lot of Tekken Tag and remember that stage pretty well... but I don't know if I ever noticed Snoop in the background. I was always too busy fighting for my life and spamming the same 3 moves with Alisa.
Only tangentially related, I think one of my favourite things Fred Durst has done is his role in the recent A24 horror film "I Saw the TV Glow", which isntantly became one of my favourite films ever. Also, as a nonbinary perosn, it hit me like a truckload of bricks. Durst plays the main character's hyper-macho father and is frankly amazing in the role.
100% my favourite film of the year thus far. I saw it with a friend and he didn't realise it was Durst at all. His reaction when I pointed it out on the car ride home was great.
Noritake Kinashi was technically in Marvel vs Street Fighter as a playable character called Norimaro. Who was just... yeah. Didn't really fight and just threw things at people like a banana to make them slip. Or Sly/Rambo in Mortal Kombat 11 for a more famous example. If Negan counts then Rambo should too.

11:13 Andrew W.K. has talked about getting that picture before. He reportedly smashed himself in the face with a brick to get a bloody nose. But when the result wasn't bloody enough for what he wanted, his team bought blood from a butcher and just slathered it on.
My personal list: 1) Ryu from Fortnite in Street Fighter 2) Ryu from Smash Bros in Street Fighter 3) Ryu from Power Rangers: BftG in Street Fighter 4) Ryu from Monster Hunter World in Street Fighter 5) Ryu from Wreck-it Ralph movie in Street Fighter 6) Ryu from KOF-....

How many presidents have been in fighting games? There's obama and clinton. But I feel like there's probably at least some others like Abe Lincoln (or there should be, Lincoln was literally a wrestler)
Totally. Not only is Snoop in there (as the second game's villain), but there are even non-rappers in there, like Carmen Electra and, I kid you not, Omar Epps, aka The Black Guy From House MD. Also, Redman's end quote (I think it went "I'm gonna rip out your tongue and wipe my ASS with it") lives in my head rent free to this day.
@@KingOfDoma Which took me off guard the first time I heard Redman say that, because I'm pretty sure that Shaggy 2 Dope of the Insane Clown Posse said something very similar in one of their songs almost 30 years ago.

Action Bronson is definitely a more strange addition to ufc 4 than Bruce Lee. At least Bruce was known for doing martial arts, then you have Dana White, Bruce Buffer and Action Bronson is the roster
People saying Bruce Lee would get annihilated by UFC fighters clearly do not know who Lee was He literally could take on bunch of gys and beat them up, now yes if he was alive he would be in his 80's though then again Jackie chan is old and he still does martial arts
@@danielcook7975You've bought into the mythos built around an actor. It's like saying Tom Cruise is a fighter pilot because of Top Gun. Lee famously dropped his original martial art nearer the end of his life when he got into a single "real" fight. This means he trained for years without any applied practice; he would have dropped the chun much earlier if he had been training properly. He was a showman, a stuntman, and a hell of a personality, but believing he was a fighter is just the same as believing in Santa Claus.
I mean lets be frank: Shaq-Fu is basically made around Shaq himself, he IS the main character so its the game in general that is weird (though still charming for some reason). Its not necessarily him randomly appearing as a guest character or a Cameo in an already established Fighting game the way Fred Durst showing up in Smackdown is.
Negan as a guest fighter in Tekken I just out of place but his grittiness vibe there works I wish he appeared on Mortal Kombat instead which it makes more perfect sense and even more fitting there
15:09 - He'd kill everyone with a single punch. But he was also a showman, so he would make loads of weaker punches at first, in order to make it look harder then it really was.
It's amazing what he did for the exposure of martial arts cinema in the West, but we know for sure he wasn't actually a fighter. You can't develop fighting skill without applied practice. That's incontrovertible. Lee discovered years into his career that many of his main martial art concepts were rubbish, and completely dropped the arts that were based around them (mostly that trapping range doesn't exist in a fight and the issues that come from not learning to hand fight from the clinch, but there was even more than that). If he had ever had any applied practice he would have realized this immediately. This means that applied practice was never a significant part of his training, and therefore that he never had an opportunity to develop real fighting skill. It's perfectly possible to develop incredible acrobatic ability that looks deadly on screen without ever learning to properly land a punch on a resisting opponent. It's actually easier. And considering how (blessedly) rare violence is in our modern communities, it's also easy to convince an uninformed audience that the stuff on screen and the stuff in the ring are one and the same.
WH probably doesnt want to license for that image, Yet its well known their properties have frequent throwdowns so I say throw caution to the wind and sign a licensing deal.
@filanfyretracker I mean somebody throwing down with a bear in a Waffle House parking lot would not be anywhere close to the strangest thing at a Waffle House.
People who're asking for that aren't really Tekken fans. Waffle House is smart for not wanting to lean into the idea that their restaurants are thinly-veiled warzones...
Please, could you be a darling and tell Jane that I did get her reference to the song "Break Stuff" by Limp Biscuit. { I'm not misspelling it like Mr. Durst and his cute little band of troubadours } . That's literally the only song by them I have ever heard, and I was not impressed. Great video though!
Weird that you didn't at least make a sidenote in the section about Fred Durst's appear in Smackdown to mention that he also appeared in the (insanely bad) Fight Club game.
Not sure how Def Jam counts when the roster entirely consists of non-fighting game characters (and also Carmen Electra for some reason?). And Fight Club is just a strange game in and of itself. Anyway, video is about Weird people showing up in already established fighting game franchises so I guarantee Snoop Dog in a game with fighting animals and Devil powers pretty much meets that definition far more easily then a game entirely consisting of real people signed to an actual real world label in a fighting game with the name of said real world label (No idea if that increased record sales or anything).
@@jakecristina54 Admittingly, "Established Franchises" only applies to five (Four if we don't count Tekken showing up twice) so wrong thing to use and series is more appropriate but I still don't get how Def Jam counts when its a game full of real people whereas the likes of Tekken or Multi-verse isn't.
@@jakecristina54 Fair point, didn't even think of that. Now that I do infact, how the hell is Smackdown considered a "Fighting game"? Starting to see your point now because they definately made an interesting choice with that (Maybe to avoid using the painfully obvious Fight Club Inclusion that so many already have used as well?)
No Def Jam Vendetta or Def Jam Fight for NY? It's weird enough that those games even exist but the amount of talent they were able to get to do is insane.
6:33 I remember my sister mained Michael Jackson in Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Round 2. My sister always kicked my ass whenever we battled each other in game. Man, I gotta play it again
Being an American from the Southern states, I am thrown by the crew from the UK paying more to attention to wrestling lore than anyone I know. I think this deserves respect. I also think this is similar to me being more interested in British breakfast dishes than British people spend time on the subject.
I would also argue that Jacob "the Jeweler" Arabo should be on this list, a man primarily known for making watches for rappers. He also appeared in Def Jam: Fight For NY
Fred Durst popped up again in one of my fave movies from this year, I Saw the TV Glow. I don't know how to deal with this much Fred Durst in my life in 2024. Also, i love Andy's shirt.
Another cameo, weirdly featuring Andrew W.K. It's not an unlockable, per se, but it's a "Madden Card" in Madden 2003 (I'm pretty sure. I don't remember how to get him). Andrew W.K., and the then-current lineup of Good Charlotte (Dean Butterworth didn't join until 2005) are available as free agents in roster edit and in franchise mode.
I will forever be grateful to Backyard Wrestling 2 for introducing me to PintSIZE and their uplifting ballad 'My Fist, Your Face'. That game had a great soundtrack... and also some Insane Clown Posse tracks to prove that nothing's perfect.
The fact that Negan in Tekken 7 is just one of that game's many insane guest characters like okay what's a rich French girl going to do against Noctis from Final Fantasy
The weirdest real person cameo I've ever seen was in an equally weird game: Street Fighter Online Mouse Generation, a Street Fighter game where you control your characters entirely with a mouse. This game had mutliple really weird guest characters from different manga, anime and chinese novels but the weirdest one was, I kid you not, Barack Obama. Barack Obama is in a Street Fighter game.
I forget which game it was but there was a fighting game where Fred Durst was like the Dan Hibiki of the game. His attacks were extremely weak, he slapped his opponent or threw awkward punches. He would also cry when he lost
The Wu Tang Clan videogame should have been on this list. Yes, martial arts are half of the inspiration for their songs, and they sampled them heavily, but it is still way weird.
I'd say Alex Jebailey counts for his "Jefailey" role in Divekick. He paid to be included, and, well . . . "You said 'make me a badass.' So I made you bad and I made you an ass."
Limp Bizkit were forseen by H.P. Lovecraft:
"The rapping was repeated with greater insistence, and this time bore a hint of metal."
Love, love, love this lovecraft reference. Very clever. Well done, sir.
Not sure whether to thumbs up the mention of Lovecraft or thumbs down for featuring the master of cosmic horror and Fred Durst in the same sentence😂

15:09 - He'd kill everyone with a single punch. But he was also a showman, so he would make loads of weaker punches at first, in order to make it look harder then it really was.
It's amazing what he did for the exposure of martial arts cinema in the West, but we know for sure he wasn't actually a fighter.
You can't develop fighting skill without applied practice. That's incontrovertible. Lee discovered years into his career that many of his main martial art concepts were rubbish, and completely dropped the arts that were based around them (mostly that trapping range doesn't exist in a fight and the issues that come from not learning to hand fight from the clinch, but there was even more than that). If he had ever had any applied practice he would have realized this immediately. This means that applied practice was never a significant part of his training, and therefore that he never had an opportunity to develop real fighting skill.
It's perfectly possible to develop incredible acrobatic ability that looks deadly on screen without ever learning to properly land a punch on a resisting opponent. It's actually easier. And considering how (blessedly) rare violence is in our modern communities, it's also easy to convince an uninformed audience that the stuff on screen and the stuff in the ring are one and the same.
Jane, how can you say something so controversial, yet so brave?
Oh sure, Tekken will do a Snoop Dogg themed battle area, but not a fight in a Waffle House parking lot.
WH probably doesnt want to license for that image, Yet its well known their properties have frequent throwdowns so I say throw caution to the wind and sign a licensing deal.
@filanfyretracker I mean somebody throwing down with a bear in a Waffle House parking lot would not be anywhere close to the strangest thing at a Waffle House.
People who're asking for that aren't really Tekken fans. Waffle House is smart for not wanting to lean into the idea that their restaurants are thinly-veiled warzones...
Has ANY fighting game attempted a Waffle House Stage? (or if you're a Nascar fan, an Applebee's Parking lot)
Having 'There Goes The Neighborhood' in a video game? That's a bold move.
Please, could you be a darling and tell Jane that I did get her reference to the song "Break Stuff" by Limp Biscuit. { I'm not misspelling it like Mr. Durst and his cute little band of troubadours } . That's literally the only song by them I have ever heard, and I was not impressed. Great video though!
Did you forget that Snoop is an actual playable fighter in Def Jam Vendetta Fight for NY? 🤔
Thing is, its literally a whole game full of real people (including Carmen Electra because...reasons?)
Weird that you didn't at least make a sidenote in the section about Fred Durst's appear in Smackdown to mention that he also appeared in the (insanely bad) Fight Club game.
Going with Snoop in Tekken and Fred Durst in Smackdown instead of Def Jam Fight for NY and Fight Club is wild.
Not sure how Def Jam counts when the roster entirely consists of non-fighting game characters (and also Carmen Electra for some reason?). And Fight Club is just a strange game in and of itself.
Anyway, video is about Weird people showing up in already established fighting game franchises so I guarantee Snoop Dog in a game with fighting animals and Devil powers pretty much meets that definition far more easily then a game entirely consisting of real people signed to an actual real world label in a fighting game with the name of said real world label (No idea if that increased record sales or anything).
@@DirgeTV The title of the video has nothing to do with established franchises. Thanks for coming out though.
@@jakecristina54 Admittingly, "Established Franchises" only applies to five (Four if we don't count Tekken showing up twice) so wrong thing to use and series is more appropriate but I still don't get how Def Jam counts when its a game full of real people whereas the likes of Tekken or Multi-verse isn't.
@@DirgeTV My dude, Smackdown is nothing but real people. Be consistent.
@@jakecristina54 Fair point, didn't even think of that. Now that I do infact, how the hell is Smackdown considered a "Fighting game"? Starting to see your point now because they definately made an interesting choice with that (Maybe to avoid using the painfully obvious Fight Club Inclusion that so many already have used as well?)
No Def Jam Vendetta or Def Jam Fight for NY? It's weird enough that those games even exist but the amount of talent they were able to get to do is insane.
6:33 I remember my sister mained Michael Jackson in Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Round 2. My sister always kicked my ass whenever we battled each other in game. Man, I gotta play it again
Being an American from the Southern states, I am thrown by the crew from the UK paying more to attention to wrestling lore than anyone I know. I think this deserves respect. I also think this is similar to me being more interested in British breakfast dishes than British people spend time on the subject.
sounds like we need a mash up off all these people in one fighting game to find the ultimate real person guest character fighter actually is
I would also argue that Jacob "the Jeweler" Arabo should be on this list, a man primarily known for making watches for rappers. He also appeared in Def Jam: Fight For NY
Fred Durst popped up again in one of my fave movies from this year, I Saw the TV Glow. I don't know how to deal with this much Fred Durst in my life in 2024.
Also, i love Andy's shirt.
Calling Snoop Dogg "Mr Dogg" fuckin sent me
Another cameo, weirdly featuring Andrew W.K. It's not an unlockable, per se, but it's a "Madden Card" in Madden 2003 (I'm pretty sure. I don't remember how to get him). Andrew W.K., and the then-current lineup of Good Charlotte (Dean Butterworth didn't join until 2005) are available as free agents in roster edit and in franchise mode.
I will forever be grateful to Backyard Wrestling 2 for introducing me to PintSIZE and their uplifting ballad 'My Fist, Your Face'. That game had a great soundtrack... and also some Insane Clown Posse tracks to prove that nothing's perfect.
Hearing "God fist combo, here comes the blessing" goes hard in a Tekken game.
Wouldn't this just be the entire line-up of the Def Jam series? Jakob the Jeweler, anyone? Normal-height Hank Rollins?
Hank??
The fact that Negan in Tekken 7 is just one of that game's many insane guest characters like okay what's a rich French girl going to do against Noctis from Final Fantasy
D3+4 into 70% without a wall, obviously.
What about John Stamos? In everyone’s favorite fighting game full house, terminator fighter.
I still make the case we should call generative scrapers 'So-Called AI'.
Mike talking about Ronaldo and cantona is not something I expected today
Guess snoop dogg got all his fighting out in the def jam games.
Snoop as Shao Kahn is now something I need in the world.
13:31 that's Harada acknowledging himself saying the exact same thing.
Snope Doug and John Winchester in Tekken is like that time House of the Dead sold out to become Overkill.
The weirdest real person cameo I've ever seen was in an equally weird game: Street Fighter Online Mouse Generation, a Street Fighter game where you control your characters entirely with a mouse. This game had mutliple really weird guest characters from different manga, anime and chinese novels but the weirdest one was, I kid you not, Barack Obama. Barack Obama is in a Street Fighter game.
Props to mentioning Shaq Fu in an entry so commenters will know they know about it and not have to make it the most predictable entry on this list.
I forget which game it was but there was a fighting game where Fred Durst was like the Dan Hibiki of the game. His attacks were extremely weak, he slapped his opponent or threw awkward punches. He would also cry when he lost
Fun fact: the American badass version of the undertaker is actually one of his favorite versions to do
I was a backyard wrestler and loved ICP. The backyard games were a freakin dream come true. Now, Im uh, only going to admit that on the internet
Technically Snoop Dog was in a fighting game as a boss in the video game “Def Jam: Fight for NY” as the character named “Crow”
The Wu Tang Clan videogame should have been on this list. Yes, martial arts are half of the inspiration for their songs, and they sampled them heavily, but it is still way weird.
I'd say Alex Jebailey counts for his "Jefailey" role in Divekick. He paid to be included, and, well . . . "You said 'make me a badass.' So I made you bad and I made you an ass."
fred durst sure was rolling.
Holy shit these guys still exist. Congrats
I remember when Andrew WK came out on stage at E3 to promote Rage 2. Man, that was so awkward. Him being all hyped up for a sequel no one asked for.
