Love how Luke starts off all "I have to walk like an ape, this is so humiliating!!" but within seconds he's fully indoctrinated and ready to bust some human heads. This game is TOO immersive!!
Heh, reminds me of when I play TIE Fighter. That game is brilliant at getting you into the game enough that you're happy to be supporting the empire, proud of your accomplishments in service to the emperor, etc, even though we all know that the Star Wars Empire are basically space Nazis. Well, aside from the whole holocaust issue. Alderaan might be considered a parallel as far as the whole genocide thing is concerned, but that's painted as pragmatism, not a product of a twisted ideology. The books take a few steps toward bringing that in (without going so far as to push themselves out of the YA market), but a person playing TIE Fighter at the time may not have been familiar with them. (These days, they probably would be; anyone who's playing that game today is probably a fan of the series.)
"Why don't i just kill them with my strong orc arms?" The two realities are bleeding into one. When Luke is ultimately completely consumed during this play-through he will be a hybrid of both Ape and Dob. It was good to know you...human Luke Westaway.
Half-Orc, half-Ape, half-Thor, and also half-Hulk, with the mind of Human Luke Westaway. Kind of explains everything. The thunder, the strength, the dashing good looks, the skin, the agility, and the wittiness. On a side-note: Let's just hope his sister doesn't turn into another Hela.
Ellen and Luke just made me realize that I can laugh over my laughter when Luke flipped the guard off and Ellen started laughing. You cannot get this entertainment anywhere else folks 😂😂
And this is the moment Luke decided he wanted to live as an ape for the rest of this life, however he realised it was too tiring and went back to making OXtra videos with Ellen
I love how it takes Ellen a full second to realise Luke almost punched her at 23:44, clearly Luke has been dulling her senses so his Predator self can strike at any time.
I love this. I live for seeing Luke pawing about happy as a clam (and then listlessly in dead exhaustion) in VR while Ellen stares amusedly into the camera like Jim Halpert from The Office, haha. :D
Here I am, back once again, to watch my favourite cheer-up video by this iconic duo, in light of the news about this iconic duo. Luke, the laughter and good vibes you brought about in this and all videos will be very missed! But we can always go back and see presh mems like this 🥹
Proof that Luke and I are the same person. When approached by an army scientist who will probably dissect us, both of our first thought were "I should do the Macarena."
Is that Luke Westaway or Andy Serkis? It's so hard to tell! I mean apart from the horrifying arm movements, the macarena, and flinging the gun across the room, they're practically identical!
"you're getting a good work out here Luke"... He's sitting down, moving his arms. That would be a good workout if he was 90 years old or weighed 400 pounds, haha
Ellen's laugh, especially in situations like this, is the absolute best. That said, every time I watch one of these OX VR videos, I'm always worried someone is going to get punched in the face or felt up
VR ape arms are basically my Actual Reality human man person arms. Seeing Luke flail them about like a prehistoric Kermit brings a tear to my hairy eyeball.
If someone doesn't at least hum the Donkey Kong Country theme during this video I'm going to be sorely disappointed. Edit: I trusted you guys and you let me down. The lack of this arbitrary task that makes absolutely no sense makes me unreasonably angry. You will be hearing from my lawyers.
I've watched all 37 minutes of this video and still have zero idea what the game looks like because I spent those 37 minutes watching Luke dance with the controls and Ellens hysterical reactions to it.
want a copy of the video of Luke and Ellen during the gameplay, but without the actual gameplay, Luke's method acting as a human-hating ape and Ellen's reactions to, well, everything are priceless!
4:00 "It's good to be an ape... being an ape is pure bliss." 20:00 "Now I see why the apes are so angry! I never thought that swinging around like an ape would be more annoying than walking."
Even more PSVR madness! Luke experiences "full ape immersion" while Ellen does her best to stop laughing. Business as usual on Oxtra, then. Enjoy!
LUKE "why dont i just kill them with my powerful orc arms"
DOB SIMULATOR 2018
confirmed
Does Ellen ever really try not laugh? Not that I'm complaining: it's half the reason I love oxtra after all
Achievement unlocked: Dying Monologue
Now hit the showers Luke you had quite the workout.
It was quite hilarious to see Luke's excitement at the squeegee at first and then the sudden realization and anger that it was a branding iron.
Outside Xtra I can almost see Luke going full-ape after playing this and climbing a tree to get bananas... those sweet sweet bananas.
In Luke's defence, dying while monologuing is something I'd consider very Shakespearean.
Catrin Sara and dying in the tutorial is very gamer
ShAPEspearean 😎

Its brainwash I tell you
I love Ellen's constant side eyeing the camera because she knows Luke can't see it
Ellen's non-verbal communication is the best thing about this video... and possibly the best thing full stop. Her face went on quite a journey.
Luke flinging his gun across the room is the best part of the video by far.
I love Ellens stare into the camera as to say “this is not an act. He’s really like this when he plays games!”
"Why don't i just kill them with my strong orc arms?" The two realities are bleeding into one. When Luke is ultimately completely consumed during this play-through he will be a hybrid of both Ape and Dob. It was good to know you...human Luke Westaway.
Jasper Zanovich And probably half Thor Odinson. His proficiency with Thunderwave definitely gives it away.

Jocose Sonata And let us not forget 100% badass
Of course! How could I forget? All those halves results in a full badass bard.
Here after the news with Luke leaving. I think this is my favorite video he's in. I love Ellen in this too having the time of her life.
Yeah I keep coming back to the good old times Luke shared with everyone here. It's so bittersweet
Ellen's expressions as Luke gets more and more into character... I would be worried, too ^^'
The one Hazmat guy: Ever notice how it is raining apes into this area?
Guard: Yeah, weird isn't it?
23:49 - The way the guard's grunt syncs up perfectly with Ellen leaning away from Luke's punch is my new favorite thing
5:46
Luke was actually able to flip off a character in a game, and send Ellen over the edge!
Ellen and Luke just made me realize that I can laugh over my laughter when Luke flipped the guard off and Ellen started laughing. You cannot get this entertainment anywhere else folks 😂😂
From now on I’m officially singing “Aapppeeee Macarena” at every party 🦍 thanks Luke 😂
The moment Luke swore at the humans with a hand gesture had me breaking down.
“As long as it has long powerful arms, that’s all I look for” well now I want to see Luke in a T-Rex VR simulator
A t-rex's arms are very powerful, they're just really short relative to it's size
And this is the moment Luke decided he wanted to live as an ape for the rest of this life, however he realised it was too tiring and went back to making OXtra videos with Ellen
I was just waiting for Luke to start singing 'I wanna be like you' and it wasn't even two minutes in before he did.
Glad it wasn't just me. ^_^
Gotta hand it to Luke and Ellen, this was really gripping gameplay
Chris G it was a real hands on experience!
Ellen is just pure gold. :D
Luke and Ellen are probably the most loveable duo in human history
Watching this, I’m now imagining an ape walking around speaking fluent English in Luke’s voice.
I’m starting to think Luke may be more ape than human after this immersive experience
I lost my collective shit when Luke flipped off the guard
mirror's edge still has the most tension-inducing fall animation i've ever seen
I love how it takes Ellen a full second to realise Luke almost punched her at 23:44, clearly Luke has been dulling her senses so his Predator self can strike at any time.
Luke playing a VR ape is exactly how I imagine he dances. Exactly. It's adorable.
Luke Ape noises 10/10
I love how Ellen just looks at the camera as though she is on an episode of The Office
I love this. I live for seeing Luke pawing about happy as a clam (and then listlessly in dead exhaustion) in VR while Ellen stares amusedly into the camera like Jim Halpert from The Office, haha. :D
One of my favorite videos ever. I love Luke and Ellen's friendship.
So much of this can be clipped to embarrass Luke for years to come and I love it. I will be watching this a lot when I am down to cheer me up
Ellen, I swear you're my bloody spirit animal. XD Lolling so hard at your reactions to Luke's lunacy.
Luke's yelp review of falling: "Not good"
One star MAYBE Two
I'd watch Luke review things. Probably would turn out better than Andy reviewing paintings in horror games.
Here I am, back once again, to watch my favourite cheer-up video by this iconic duo, in light of the news about this iconic duo. Luke, the laughter and good vibes you brought about in this and all videos will be very missed! But we can always go back and see presh mems like this 🥹
I want a compilation of all the presh mems we've had on Outside Xtra over the years. Ah, the good ol days
“Ok, into This ape hole.” Luke says as he unintentionally is looking down into Ellen’s lap. Haha, oh dear.
I always wondered what was in that ape hole? Thanks for showing us the way, Luke
We all need a friend like Ellen who looks concerned whenever we play a VR game but laughs every time we get to into it
This is still one of my favourite OXTRA videos of all time, so many presh mems were created in this one.
Proof that Luke and I are the same person. When approached by an army scientist who will probably dissect us, both of our first thought were "I should do the Macarena."
Is that Luke Westaway or Andy Serkis? It's so hard to tell!
I mean apart from the horrifying arm movements, the macarena, and flinging the gun across the room, they're practically identical!
When Luke flung that gun onto the top shelf I died😂😂. Great vid!!
And here's a joke just for Mike:
What do you call an exploding ape? A baboom.
Luke: "It's me, an intelligent ape !"
Ellen, in her mind: *quit monkeying around and play the game*
Ellen's faces are by far the highest point in this video
The makers of Ape Escape have really taken this whole 'gritty reboot' thing a bit far, don't you think?
Omg, Luke playing this primate character is exactly me trying to irl as a human.
First time out of the tutorial and luke flips off the army... clever ape
5:45 That was unexpected and brilliant. Even Ellen lost it there. Also, someone had to program that gesture in. Clever developers xD
We need a soundboard of Ellen laughing to make every game better
Ellen's facial expressions and laughs over Luke's immersion are the best! Please, keep doing more of these.
"you're getting a good work out here Luke"... He's sitting down, moving his arms. That would be a good workout if he was 90 years old or weighed 400 pounds, haha
hahaha i could watch luke fall and Ellen's reaction all day lol. never had more fun watching someone play a game as opposed to playing one myself
Ellen kind of feels like Jim from The office, with her constant camera stares.
Ellen is so aware of the camera. Much more than other members of the team in videos like this.
Luke's role playing as an ape who is oddly sensitive to whatever is in those tranquilizer darts is second to none!
I can’t stop laughing at this, I always knew Luke made for a better ape
I apparently completely missed this when it first went up and only learned about it from the 2018 presh mems video...
Luke: Does the macarena
NPC: "What a stupid ape."
I think Luke just likes things with powerful arms
Still one of my favorite early outside xtra let's plays! So many hilarious moments!
Even after watching it about a dozen times, this still has me in stitches. Comedy gold ... or should I say apecellent 😂😭😂👏🏼
Watching Luke flounder... er...triumph over the great escAPE has been one of the best things I've seen in a while. Vr Luke is my new favorite Luke.
We have to accept the fact that Luke can become almost anything now. An ape, Donald Duck, Senu, he's got it all!
Ellen's laugh, especially in situations like this, is the absolute best. That said, every time I watch one of these OX VR videos, I'm always worried someone is going to get punched in the face or felt up
"stupid humans" - Luke 2018. Uhhhh is his programming off again?
Caitlin RC Jane's designs always have a few kinks to them. Oh well, off to the incinerator with Luke #39!
That’s funny. I always thought that ‘stupid humans’ was Jane’s line and that Luke was such a nice boy... ape... orc...
INCINERATE!
I always thought Jane's been secretly mentoring him.
You have to watch these twice, once to see the game and once to watch Ellen’s priceless expressions
Video didnt end with Luke shouting "I love you Dr Zaius" and im disapointed
"now I'm in ape heaven. It's all dark"
I'm not sure that's ape *heaven*, Luke
When Ellen's leaning forward the O in OX looks like an earring. She should get a pair of OX purple earrings!
Haha this is the best XD the: why is this an option in de game!!! Made me crack up so much XD
Ahh this was so good guys! Ellen, your expressions were priceless😂
Maybe the reason Luke couldn't hold on was because the guards suspected escaped and made yellow pipes out of butter
Didn't know this video existed before the presh mems video. I'm so glad I now know.
I guess you could call it a 'Simian Simulator'
I think it's more of a "Falling To Your Death" simulator.
Sim sim for short
Dammit Sim Sim!
Ellen’s joy is always infectious.
I had to keep rewinding because I was too immersed in the ape play that I didn't see Luke's amazing miming and Ellen's reactions.
Was feeling a bit down today, but Ellen's laugh fixed that right up! You two are amazing, keep it up :D
Ellen's expressions and giggles make the video for me. also luke's top-notch ape impressions. cheers for this
VR ape arms are basically my Actual Reality human man person arms. Seeing Luke flail them about like a prehistoric Kermit brings a tear to my hairy eyeball.
Ellen you deserve a medal for keeping it together as well as you did
Once VR fully incorporates the legs into their games you never have to worry about skipping leg day again!
"Luke's Ape Escape" and not "Luke's Apescape"? You're slipping guys need to keep Andy booing
Ape Escape is a great game
Max Littlewood he won't shut up about it I'm in the Mojave and can still hear him booing...
Max Littlewood it's a reference to a video game
Ellen’s laughter at Luke’s failure in this vid is pure joy 😄
I felt comforted by all of Ellen's laughing.
25:45 is pure comedic gold.
'before I'm completely humiliated'
*woosh* *bonk*
If someone doesn't at least hum the Donkey Kong Country theme during this video I'm going to be sorely disappointed.
Edit: I trusted you guys and you let me down. The lack of this arbitrary task that makes absolutely no sense makes me unreasonably angry. You will be hearing from my lawyers.
Where is Bud Fensler when you need him?
Sovash Chettydude get on my 64th platform im playing the 24 hr loop in a background tab
I'm so upset I could throw a barrel
Love this format is just one person being an idiot and the other just officeitting it to the camera
Can we have a clip of Luke falling and going “aaaaaahhhhhh” in every video from now on?
I've watched all 37 minutes of this video and still have zero idea what the game looks like because I spent those 37 minutes watching Luke dance with the controls and Ellens hysterical reactions to it.
"Shakespearean" say's Luke as he shuffle's off his mortal coil.
Impressed by Ellen's cat-like reflexes when Luke almost punched her, barely a second passed before she reacted.
I almost had to watch the video twice, one to watch the game play and once again just to watch Ellen's reactions
You remember when they did those Show of the Weekends where Andy became one with the snow? I feel like we're witnessing something similar.
One of the most absolute best Luke and Ellen video.Comedy gold!!!
Excellent, I do enjoy these episodes of "Luke wanted to put another VR game on his tax return"
want a copy of the video of Luke and Ellen during the gameplay, but without the actual gameplay, Luke's method acting as a human-hating ape and Ellen's reactions to, well, everything are priceless!
4:00 "It's good to be an ape... being an ape is pure bliss."
20:00 "Now I see why the apes are so angry! I never thought that swinging around like an ape would be more annoying than walking."
"Ooo I'm gonna get squeegeed... wait!"
This has probably been the most enjoyable VR play through video to watch ever. Luke make me hate human, human bad ape good! Hail Caesar!!!
This is like watching The Office. Luke is Dwight, and Ellen is Jim/Pam looking at the camera knowingly whenever Luke does something ridiculous.
