I find Patrick's reactions to some things to be absolutely hilarious... especially, "OMG, THE RUBBER DUCKY'S AT THE TOP!!!" and the Scatman impression.
"I thought if you punched them, they turned around." "If I punch *you*, *you'll* turn around." "What do you think they are, Christians?" *Achievement unlocked: Turn The Other Cheek- Matthew **5:38**-42* You guys are just the best xD
I love how the advertisement is Walt Disney World for videos of a group of people screaming. Happy place? There is no happy place when it comes to Battletoads!
I have felt everyone's rage (or in NCS's case, annoyance) Jake: Those damn snakes. Patrick: Randomly sprinting after you punch things. Tim: Actually enjoyed it. Yeah, infinite lives take the edge off. Slightly. Jon: That electrified platform... god, it'll mess you up.
I can never get enough of this race, its actually my #1 favorite race and I'm glad that its uploaded. Sure they had many, many frustrating moments but they also had some laughs and some good times. My favorite parts are the screaming, the singing, the reactions and the achievements (especially Jon's moment at 24:21..."FUCK YOUR HOUSE!")
I decided to play this game just to see if it was really as hard as it's made out to be... and I had a fairly easy time until the third race in Rat Race. My hand... is in agony... D: I give my props to you, Jon, for managing to beat it.
One of the best parts, the FUCK at the end makes it so awesome. -.- ... watched this idk how many times over the years, just cause ... bordem. XD It makes me smile.
The worst thing about Rat Race is that you get so excited when you finally beat it only to have your spirit crushed into oblivion upon realizing you have to do Clinger-Winger next. It's such a pain in the ass.
"Dry, Pointy Land" is awarded for jumping out of the water and directly onto the spikes - Jon overshot that little platform where the pipe bends. Pcull managed to hit the flat land first.
An even more incredible thing happens in a later episode of this race, also with the third bomb, Tim almost gets the third bomb without hitting the rat even once
Ive been waiting for the latest update of this for so long, logging onto my account in hopes that part 3 was uploaded, and now it was, and was still very happy with my wait!
Omg, it has taken me watching this yearly since this came out, but i finally understand what jake means by, “i lost the game.” Cause i too now have lost the game.
Ahh, these videos are great, thankyou so much for uploading them Jon, i know you think its a trainwreck but honestly its really entertaining, and... mesmerising, but that could just be... battletoads.
@Gamingnerd People seem to keep comparing this race to the race Diabetus did years ago, and no one seems to be aware of the fact that everyone in that race (Psychedelic Eyeball, GuidoAnchovies, Diabetus) actually PRACTICED the game (The video was part of Diabetus' Battletoads LP on SA). Everyone in our race went in without practice, and in some cases (NCS, SuperJeenius) went into the game mostly blind.
I was thinking about how cool it would be if Nintendo ever revived Battletoads for the 3DS, but then I realized that they'd probably add a feature that completes the level for you if you die three times or something, thus removing all possibilities of ever seeing a masterpiece like this race ever again.
Damn Jon, nice job getting past Rat Race. That third race is my furthest point in the game so far; last time I attempted that level ended in a hole in the wall and a very empty fifth of Jack Daniels.
14:40 I was waiting for the obligatory "I was doing all right, but then I took an arrow to the knee." but nobody ever mentioned it. That made my fucking day.
i beat it normally when i was a kid, looking at you guys bring so many memories of frustration , one of the greatest games, oh and btw i didn't even knew about time warp, did all of the levels lol
I love that the achievement for 100 deaths for Superjeenius, pcull44444 and NCS was All about the Benjamins but Jon's was All about the Bordens. Nice little details there guys!
I don't really care who wins, just as long as it's still funny. And Patrick's scream when he got past the shark, then died to the rubber duck literally made me cry, I was laughing so hard. xD
ProtonJon could you explain something to me? In that race you were on at the end of the video what is it that you, as the player, do? What I'm asking is, what do you press and what exactly is it that you do?
I like how they're all like "Nobody is going to watch this!" and yet it is easily one of my favorite race lps ever.
I find Patrick's reactions to some things to be absolutely hilarious... especially, "OMG, THE RUBBER DUCKY'S AT THE TOP!!!" and the Scatman impression.
Temernator Vrs. Batttletoads you go patrick!
"I thought if you punched them, they turned around."
"If I punch *you*, *you'll* turn around."
"What do you think they are, Christians?"
*Achievement unlocked: Turn The Other Cheek- Matthew **5:38**-42*
You guys are just the best xD
EonArashi wait what
Apparently, ducks can be Christian.
Those ducks... Christians, they are not
As a Christian, that's the achievement I laugh at THE MOST!
It's been 3 years and Pat's scatman rage is still one of the funniest things i've ever heard.
I just realized: Terra Tubes is the only level that at least one person's been in in all 6 episodes
Makes sense, fuck Terra Tubes
And it killed everyone at least 69 times too...
I love how the advertisement is Walt Disney World for videos of a group of people screaming.
Happy place? There is no happy place when it comes to Battletoads!
BATTLETOADS
Pika Chu
_Thank you...-_
Jake is still in last,
while ducks murder Patty.
Jon's controller, dead,
and Tim isn't so happy.
9/10 for that Haiku, good sir/madam/whatever.
I... I don't think that's a Haiku...
The first three lines are 5/7/5. So yeah, pretty sure it's a Haiku.
Oh... gg
The 2nd line is 6, not 7. #fail
This race is the birthplace of carpal tunnel, arthritis, and rage. I love it
"No one's going to watch this."
Guys, it's the internet. Misery is about as popular as cats.
Miserable cats, however, are a different matter.
Zangamarth
They're twice as popular. Grumpy Cat, anyone?
Not a Gamer Cat Grumps
CrypticNazo
Mimi and Mochi playing Nintendogs?
I'd watch the hell out of that
CrypticNazo Hey I'm Cat
I'm not so Cat
And we're the grumpy cats
Why does everyone keep saying that no one is gonna watch these videos because they're failing so much? That's the best and funniest kind of video!
10:03 "No-one's gonna watch this."
yeah about that...
There's a chance that we could break the view count so that it doesn't show up. I'm not sure how that would work though.
Chihiro.
***** She(.../he) is my waifu (he wants to identify as female, so I'll respect that and call him my waifu).
Sophia Mahoney I hear ya. I'm a straight dude but I'd make an exception for Chihiro. He's so cute.
+Sophia Mahoney Lol I read that JUST after hearing it XD
2:00
*pcull44444: So is there a level harder after these wheels?*
Battletoads: *QUACK!*
It's battletoads, always assume it'll get worse... turbo tunnel's infamous, and it's the tutorial for vehicle stages
Battletoads is literally the Murphy's Law of video games
I have felt everyone's rage (or in NCS's case, annoyance)
Jake: Those damn snakes.
Patrick: Randomly sprinting after you punch things.
Tim: Actually enjoyed it. Yeah, infinite lives take the edge off. Slightly.
Jon: That electrified platform... god, it'll mess you up.
If you're old enough, play this drunk. It's a roller coaster of emotion depending on how often you take a gulp.
+HaroldM814 dammit my profile pic isn't original
ThatOneIdiot :O Holy moly dude
what is pic?
***** abbreviation for picture
This is why I'm subbed to PJ; Random stuff every couple years is ALWAYS welcome.
I like how this stops being a race and just becomes trying to make it through the pain.
"You turned around, what are you, christian?" OMG Tim I can't.
I think I laughed at pcull's commentary the most out of every other commentator so far, and I never even watched his videos.
27:11 left me in tears.
I can never get enough of this race, its actually my #1 favorite race and I'm glad that its uploaded. Sure they had many, many frustrating moments but they also had some laughs and some good times. My favorite parts are the screaming, the singing, the reactions and the achievements (especially Jon's moment at 24:21..."FUCK YOUR HOUSE!")
I decided to play this game just to see if it was really as hard as it's made out to be... and I had a fairly easy time until the third race in Rat Race. My hand... is in agony... D: I give my props to you, Jon, for managing to beat it.
"They will end your life in an instant, without remorse..."
"Yeah, they're pretty murderous duckies."
This is my new favorite conversation.
Every time I'm reaching the critically stressful point of a college semester, I watch these videos.
Helps get all the rage and stress out.
Congrats Jon! You have the least amount of deaths,you have the most achievements, and you're in first place! Well done!
I think this is either my third of fourth time since Jon uploaded the videos - damn, they are better than Hollywood.
0:50 "All about the Bordens" I'm assuming that's because Jon is Canadian
+Zeph_1000 It is indeed. "Borden" refers to former Prime Minister Robert Borden who is pictured on the Canadian $100 bill.
Inus Berard My reaction is the same as when Jon heard that Atlus made "My Disney Kitchen"
"...Well fuck.."
Zeph_1000
Wealth of seemingly useless knowledge, that's me. Granted I am Canadian so that's another reason why I know that.
Inus Berard I see. If we're talking about useless knowledge, did you know cereal was originally intended to stop masterbation/other sexual feelings?
Zeph_1000
I did not. Did you know that Gin and tonic was originally used as medicine to fight malaria?
"That which does not kill you makes you stronger." Superman is now jealous of how strong these guys are now that they survived this experience. :)
Pcull's "Sad/Sadness" Counter for this video: 7
Total so far: 19
These references that Jon is making with these achievements are just flabbergasting the sh*t out of me.
I've watched Pcull's freakout at 27:10 over and over and I don't even care.
I'm sitting here playing SotN and watching this race wrapped in a blanket on my couch. This must be what heaven is like.
I want the "What do you think they are, Christians?" on a t-shirt.
This is a fantastic series. It's great fun watching you all try so hard. These races are a ton of fun to watch.
Three Years and about nine times Latter And I still enjoy this...Does that mean I am a Psychopath?
If it does, then I have completely lost sanity
+Dylan Neal No...psychotic. Psychotic is playing this game. Psychopathic is challenging friends to a race in this with infinite lives.
Back after another year, Still enjoying it...yup I am wrong in the head.
This is my absolute favorite thing to listen to while doing homework. For some reason, all the screaming and yelling helps me relax and concentrate.
Ducks are so powerful that they quack you out of the dimension.
Finally, ProtonJon has been stymied on the magnitude of SuperJeenius Snake Maze.
27:10-27:22 (Scatman44444)
I'm Scatman!!
Ba Bo Be
"nobody's gonna watch this" these videos make my day. you guys need to make this a series with impossible retro games
18:43 is the best moment of the entire race.
"OH MY GOD, THE RUBBER DUCKY'S AT THE TOP!"😱
1:49 Glitching the glitch is just such a ProtonJon thing to do.
27:10 ANGRISH ENGAGED
One of the best parts, the FUCK at the end makes it so awesome. -.- ... watched this idk how many times over the years, just cause ... bordem. XD It makes me smile.
Still watching this years later. The best series. I watch this every year.
"That which does not kill you makes you stronger"
...you never get stronger after playing battletoads, you come out of it a broken human being
Well, that would be because while your body survived, Battletoads killed your soul.
The worst thing about Rat Race is that you get so excited when you finally beat it only to have your spirit crushed into oblivion upon realizing you have to do Clinger-Winger next. It's such a pain in the ass.
25:55 shouldn't Patrick have gotten "Dry, pointy land" from that?
"Dry, Pointy Land" is awarded for jumping out of the water and directly onto the spikes - Jon overshot that little platform where the pipe bends. Pcull managed to hit the flat land first.
@1a2b3c4d5e2427 We actually recorded this before the Brawl recordings, so there was no Captain Falcon voice yet.
Fuck Counter: Broken.
...Fuck.
Broken + 1
I love every time Jon says no one will watch this when I've seen this battletoads series 3 times.
I don't know if I should be laughing or feel bad that Jon almost beated the freaking third rat on his first try...
An even more incredible thing happens in a later episode of this race, also with the third bomb, Tim almost gets the third bomb without hitting the rat even once
Ive been waiting for the latest update of this for so long, logging onto my account in hopes that part 3 was uploaded, and now it was, and was still very happy with my wait!
Dammit all of the good comments have already been posted for this episode.
Patrick's sound rant near the end should've been an achievement. The human recordplayer. The description would be "The beat is strong with this one."
Does anybody else want to see Jon and Chugga play this game coop?
Oh I really like how you changed All About the Bengiums to the guy on OUR 100 dollar bill. Classy.
-spongebob narrator voice-
*Two and a half years later*
More like 2000 years later (the narrator does say this)
So much later that the old narrator got tired of waiting and they had to hire a new one
I was holding at breath 24 minutes in when Jon was going through Rat Race. When Jon finally cleared it, I was celebrating silently.
F*ck Counter: 97
Does this include the word "f*cking?"
***** Okay.
Patrick is hilarious when he feels the need to start singing to vent his frustration.
10:00 Look at Jake's screen.
Dafuq? o_O
Jesus, Jon, you're too good. Most awards, least deaths, most far on ._.
Props to ya, mate.
The days before Twitch
this was 2012...
+JOY RIDE Twitch was after this
+goldosprey it was justin tv back then
The time of this being recorded, probably right at the end of 2011, so yeah twitch wasn't yet born
Whoa, Jon is DOMINATING this race.
Go ProtonJon! :)
Did anyone do the remix?
Yeah. It's on UA-cam somewhere along with the what/fuck counter.
Omg, it has taken me watching this yearly since this came out, but i finally understand what jake means by, “i lost the game.” Cause i too now have lost the game.
get DUCKed on get it
Ahh, these videos are great, thankyou so much for uploading them Jon, i know you think its a trainwreck but honestly its really entertaining, and... mesmerising, but that could just be... battletoads.
Nobody's going to watch this.
256000 views.
Now 333k
339,574...
I'm doing homework to their screams of despair right now, and I agree. It's oddly soothing.
"It's all about the Bordens"
Lol, I see what you did there, Jon.
I let out the loudest "OHHHHHHHHHHHHH OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO" when Jon was SO CLOSE to kicking the bomb and the rat just beat him to it.
Some of the best videos on UA-cam ever.
Btw does anyone else think they should do a Ninja Gaiden race?
@Gamingnerd People seem to keep comparing this race to the race Diabetus did years ago, and no one seems to be aware of the fact that everyone in that race (Psychedelic Eyeball, GuidoAnchovies, Diabetus) actually PRACTICED the game (The video was part of Diabetus' Battletoads LP on SA). Everyone in our race went in without practice, and in some cases (NCS, SuperJeenius) went into the game mostly blind.
Surprisingly a ton of fun to watch! Good job suffering through this...I loved the clever little titles.
"nobody's gonna watch this"
meanwhile I rewatch it every year
I was thinking about how cool it would be if Nintendo ever revived Battletoads for the 3DS, but then I realized that they'd probably add a feature that completes the level for you if you die three times or something, thus removing all possibilities of ever seeing a masterpiece like this race ever again.
I love how they said nobody's going to watch this video, when we've in reality been looking forward to it for the past week.
THIS is what you call entertainment, you guys should do the one for SNES Next :3!
I've never wished there was closed captioning on a video more than this one.
Damn Jon, nice job getting past Rat Race. That third race is my furthest point in the game so far; last time I attempted that level ended in a hole in the wall and a very empty fifth of Jack Daniels.
Rat Race? "It is a race, I am winning." "Did I win?"
definitely need to do this again sometime after this is all uploaded. great stuff.
I can't stop laughing at Patrick in this episode lol
This is one of the most ruthless games I've ever seen.
I feel like I'm enjoying this way more than I ought to be.
I love how long this took all of them
I played it yesterday and had the "Split Second Screwjob" six times including 3 in a row
14:40 I was waiting for the obligatory "I was doing all right, but then I took an arrow to the knee." but nobody ever mentioned it.
That made my fucking day.
i beat it normally when i was a kid, looking at you guys bring so many memories of frustration , one of the greatest games, oh and btw i didn't even knew about time warp, did all of the levels lol
I love that the achievement for 100 deaths for Superjeenius, pcull44444 and NCS was All about the Benjamins but Jon's was All about the Bordens. Nice little details there guys!
This showed back up in my recommendations. Time to rewatch this masterpiece.
I don't really care who wins, just as long as it's still funny. And Patrick's scream when he got past the shark, then died to the rubber duck literally made me cry, I was laughing so hard. xD
'no one will watch this'
10 years later still being watched and has a third of million views.
I keep coming back to this race, its so amazing.
I watch it at least once a year.
Thank you :D you guys have topped my personal best schadenfreude moment, beating out that LP of Mario Frustration
Rewatching this once again, why are there chapters based on the "achievements" gotten and why for this episode in particular?
"I remixed the remix, it was back to normal."
-Mitch Hedberg
20 Years later
EVEN FUNNIER
I like how Tim got the Horrible Luck award right after glitching into a checkpoint. xD
ProtonJon could you explain something to me? In that race you were on at the end of the video what is it that you, as the player, do?
What I'm asking is, what do you press and what exactly is it that you do?
This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. I'm not even kidding. So. Good.
Definitely my favorite videos on youtube right now!
I cracked up at the "Why Even Bother?" achievement lol
