@@theboss3721 SpiderMan on the PS2 was the first strandpizza-esque game; truly setting the foundation for strandy classics such as "Life Diving" and "Genital Jousting"
This game is like finally being able to fulfill the dream of when you were little and you watched Looney Tunes and always imagined what it would be like to have cartoonish abilities
What's even crazier is he is a character from a 1969 comedy album by the Firesign Theater, which is in itself a parody of the name of a Beatles song "Rocky Raccoon"
I checked the release today, 2023. Given that fact I guess it wouldn’t be original but given competition and other recent games I guess one could argue the style is unique/different. It’s not anything that hasn’t been done before but it is still well executed imo either way
Why is the sauce lost in the pizza? What makes a pizza from mellow mushroom different from one dominos? I’m trying to crack the pizza code so I’d appreciate it if you gave me your insight.
Made an account just to say this: It is an absolute travesty that this video came out 3 months ago and STILL no one has appreciated that dunkey used the audio from the award winning "Wario Dies in a Car Accident" at 5:26 - truly a man that pays respect to the classics.
"it's like he has a bunch of greasy tomato sauce on his shoes" as someone who works in the food industry I can confirm this is an incredibly immersive detail
I love the artstyle and animation of this game. The artstyle has a nice retro, internet, Microsoft Paint vibe to it and the animation feels like it comes straight out of Ed, Edd n Eddy. I love it
It's funny, that's kinda why i dislike the game lol. I totally understand where people are coming from with this, but something about the way it looks is very unappealing to me. I'm sure it will grow on me tho, as all amazing indie platformers do!
And at 2:45 he says "goodbye horsey, famous song from the famous movie... 'Blazing Pizzas'", which is a reference to the song Goodbye Horses famously used in Silence of the Lambs.
Same mainly because he’ll actually give it a real review (no goddamn way it doesn’t make the list unless we have the best year of all of gaming, which I somehow doubt)
Hey Dunkey, Ive been watching your videos sense 2018. And I just wanted to thank you for being a incredibly consistent creator and comedian in both quality and original style. You are the only youtuber I've stuck with, every time I see you've made new content i am immediately filled with joy. And I can't wait to see more from BigMode. So from me to you Dunkey "go get em tiger."
Honestly surprised it took dunk this long to make a pizza tower video. The moment I saw this game I immediately thought "this is a dunkey game" it's soo good
@@SgtLion he made a video about Forspoken like right when it came out, and that’s a dogshit game. This Microsoft paint looking funny platformer is literally the type of shit he loves. I’m surprised it took him so long to make a video about it too
I have no idea why, it's not even on purpose necessarily, but I end up watching this video like once a week. It gets recommended all the time and I have to click it everytime
I have to give massive props to Tour de Pizza for their innovation in the Italian-like game genre. No other game really captures the raw insanity of the average Italian, much less with this much accuracy!
At first I thought this would be some kind of a joke but honestly I love it when Dunkey just shows us the gameplay and lets us make our own opinion. This game looks amazing.
i'm so glad he included some of the OST at the end because people who aren't familiar with this game need to understand that it has a freakin bussin OST on top of the cooky MSPaint visuals
funny because thats just a random idle animation, convenient timing lol. in my game when i went back to check on the horse n stopped moving he did a little dance
as someone who lives in wisconsin, i can confirm that rocky rococo is our very own jesus christ who we must appease constantly by putting him in hollywood movies, lest he unleash his wrath and cut off our pepperoni supply.
One of my favorite things about Dunkey is that he's continuously developing his own memetic vocabulary. Every other joke he makes is an oblique reference to a joke he made like 8 years ago. He makes comedy compound on itself.
man it feels like its been awhile since dunkey made a video in this style, its kind of like half way between his usual content and his twitch streams. Good shit Mr. Donkey man 🤌
When dunkey loves a game and when he hates a game, the videos can be nearly identical, yet it's so obvious how he feels.

@@ttttillermand Fr
Also, if the game really really sucks(not even funny mistakes) , the video ends with "more dunkey" instead of a pun(mass effect andromeda for example)
Not one, but two positive comparisons to Spiderman 2 for the Playstation 2 is a good sign.

This is probably the best description of this game
ok
Dunkey clearly has the same sense of humor and creative vision as Tour de Pizza.
4:55 this entire section should be an official ad. He's having so much fun.
I fucking love that Dunkey said "Raccacoonie". Thank God he's watched that movie, it makes me so happy.
A very deliberate choice too. More people would get Ratatouille way more than Raccacoonie.😊
Raccacoonie was a movie made specifically for Dunkey
there's a lot of complex layers to this shitpost
@@StrikeWarlock"Rattatouille"? Isn't that the Raccacoonie parody, from the movie "Nothing, Nowhere, All the Time"?

This game is like finally being able to fulfill the dream of when you were little and you watched Looney Tunes and always imagined what it would be like to have cartoonish abilities
This is the first time in my life I've ever watched a video that, honest to God, made me feel like I just ate an entire pizza
They call that a Pizza Hut effect
Thank god I thought I was the only one
It's like poetry honestly
I actually did eat a pizza before watching this so now it feels like I ate 2 pizzas I'm going to throw up. 10/10
You should watch the Whale. When he ate two whole pies of pizza I felt like i actually ate them myself
Glad rocky's getting the credit he deserves for his amazing performances. Thanks dunkey!
As someone who lives in Wisconsin, I always got a chuckle out of the movie parodies in his restaurants. Their pizzas are pretty good too.
What's even crazier is he is a character from a 1969 comedy album by the Firesign Theater, which is in itself a parody of the name of a Beatles song "Rocky Raccoon"
@@videogamer678 Whenever I’m out of state and am craving pizza, i’m reminded of how great Rocky’s is, same for Culvers

I'm just glad he included a quick shot of the rocky rococo bus in Madison, with the glowing eye tail lights at 5:33.
The Raccaccoonie reference is yet another example of Dunkey’s exquisite taste in cinema
this comment makes me feel seen
When dunkey gets a game that lets him just riff on it for the whole video, it's a beautiful thing.
Classic Dunkey video. I still remember the first time I watched this, and it hasn't aged a bit!
I always come back to this claasic!
only 90's kids remember....

I love the artstyle and animation of this game. The artstyle has a nice retro, internet, Microsoft Paint vibe to it and the animation feels like it comes straight out of Ed, Edd n Eddy. I love it
or like coloring pages from early grade school
The loading music even has that nice Sound Blaster Synth/ Gravis Ultrasound MIDI of that era.
It's funny, that's kinda why i dislike the game lol. I totally understand where people are coming from with this, but something about the way it looks is very unappealing to me. I'm sure it will grow on me tho, as all amazing indie platformers do!
Reminds me of Rocko's Modern Life. Just has that weird feeling about it.
Reminds me of when Cuphead came out with its unique artstyle & animation with some inspiration from past works lol
I love how this game just suddenly got really popular on UA-cam over the last 2 weeks
This is one of my favorite videos from Dunkey. It’s infectious how much you FEEL that he likes this game.
A truly great game. There’s no pizza topping this one
What a cheezy thing to say.
Hahaha, yeah and uh, uh, pepperonis and shit, yanno?
There’s no pizza tower this one.
The graphics are pretty good, too, dough.
false, i see a lot of pizza topping in this game
This game's artsyle has "drawn with a mouse" energy scrawled all over and I'm all for it.
This game is ”10000 hours in paint” but unironically
the mouse-drawn rat is a personal fave
It's like a 90s era Nickelodeon cartoon reimagined in MS Paint
