He was playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers. Sure, Raiden's Earthrealm's champion, but Johnny spent his time there rizzing up Kitana so he'll become Outworld's prince.
unironically the peak of "caged" videos the best part easily being "a girl... is she hot?" then IMMEDIATELY CUTS TO KANG'S DISAPPOINTMENT, FOLLOWED BY MILEENA AS THE CHORUS FOR INTERNATIONAL LOVE PLAYS could not be more perfect
My head cannon is that when trying to craft him, Liu Kang tried making him humble, but just just loves Johnny's smugness, and he just felt like he couldn't make him perfect in this timeline, so he just left him how he was I bet Kang secretly enjoys how cocky and dude bro Johnny can be
Cage's smugness is the yin to his goldhearted yang, and one that multiple timelines have proven tends to get ironed out with a few good humbling fight loses. Removing it could force him to take up a far worse vice or personality flaw so it makes sense to just leave it alone.
Honestly, the best Got Caged I've seen so far (and I've seen A LOT lol) LOVE how unique you made it by adding the past games, while also a lot more expressions from Johnny depending on the lyrics. Just a fantastic job all around!
@@Marxeezhusband, debatable because Cris didn’t like he was gambling their marriage over his movie career. Prior Johnny was doing the best he can as a husband and dad but Sonya left just to do her job, Johnny told her to think of the family but Sonya dismissed it as Johnny wanting more attention as if he was still immature. I’m just glad they made up at the end of MKX and still became a loving couple in MK11. So yes, he *was* a great husband. Just hope the next Sonya lives up to their previous timeline but is not a workaholic deadbeat mom.
Johnny is probably the best character of them all he literally ignores everything around him and jokes about it literally he is the purest form of a giga chad
By far one of the best international love songs I have seen so far. It clearly wasn’t lazily put together everything was timed to the beat and the emotions of johnny were on point. Then there’s the inclusion of the older games to where it even follows the lyrics. And in top of that this video makes me down bad for johnny I won’t deny.
Johnny Cage is an arrogant character DONE RIGHT. He's a hollywood hot head, guaranteed to annoy you 50 times per hour, and if you dare to fight him, he will bust it down with more flare than fireworks and STILL beat your ass. Egotistical and successful. Hard to beat that because just maybe he's right 😎
But also he's still portrayed as a jerk. He doesn't fall into the BBC Sherlock or Rick and Morty trap of forgetting that the main character being the worst is a character flaw, and not an aspiration. Johnny is cool, but you know you're not supposed to aspire to be him
I've never touched a Mortal Kombat game, hell I didn't even know much about the series apart from the fact that it's a brutal fighting game with magic. But Johnny Cage changed it for me. The man made me read up on MK lore. All thanks to the memes.
@@영환김-f9x if they can ship 2 characters just be being together in one frame of a cut scene then being married and had a child (even if its from another timeline) is more than enough
i like how we have a cast full of demons, powerfull wizzards, assasins, monsters and even gods yet the most beloved and cool character is just a carismatic actor
Very nostalgic with the other Johnnys from previous MK games. Besides, I wish this Johnny's dance could've been MK11 Johnny's friendship dance with the same song.
I was never into Mortal Kombat, but MK1 might be an exception and I love all these Johnny Cage edits lol. This one is the best for me and shows much love to the character.
When you get 100k views in a week you know you've created a masterpiece. Great job! Your choices regarding what to include (both fatalities, Johnny in the old games, brutality pose victory, kustomize screen, the story mode parts, etc.) made it unique and one of, if not the best, edits I've ever seen.
1:30 “AND SCENE” that’s a perfect way to end the best edit I’ve ever seen 🥳 It’s kinda a birthday present for me because it’s my 15th birthday tomorrow 😁
Who would win, a person trained in martial arts and with magical powers:
A middle aged Hollywood actor:
Don't bet against Johnny 😎
Johnny who’s both 😎
johnny is both 😎
But doesn't Johnny have green energy powers or something?
@@JRProductions1203in mk1 he lost it probably unless liu kang let him keep it
Honestly, Johnny's fatalities make him seem like a certified psychopath xD
I mean no man comes up with hollywod walk of pain and is not in a psych ward
Especially that selfie fatality 💀
Well...isn't he?
It's mortal combat everyone is crazy by their own
@@alexref6074 I mean there is brutally dismembering your opponent,
And then there is taking a selfie with your opponent's exposed inside of their head
He has the most fancy fatalities I’ve ever seen
💯%!!
@@Marxeez yeah
Is it just me, when I first heard his theme i thought that this must've just been from Disney channal or something
Liu Kang's disappointed face is everything
Hahaha it's a pretty realistic reaction
🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Johnny Cage… I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed..”
This what you mean? 0:48
@@mreclipse3682 yes
Cage: a girl? Is she hot?
Liu-kang: 🗿🚶♂️
He's asking the important questions lol
well at least she is
Liu Kang: Good news, yes. Bad news, she’s femme fatale. Have fun breaking the bed.
It's very funny when Johnny starts flirting XD @@Cafidude
And then it immediately cuts to Mileena.
30 years and still rizzing with the best of them
Dude definitely rizzed me up.
Thats why hes johhny rizzler
Chris brown and pitbull dont know they writed this song for Johnny Cage
He's on the same level as barney stinson
He was playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers. Sure, Raiden's Earthrealm's champion, but Johnny spent his time there rizzing up Kitana so he'll become Outworld's prince.
0:46 I love how done he looks
He's definitely sick of Johnny 😆
Liu Kang at 0:49 : You serious? 😑
@@syahzoro04 Too be fair, it gave context to why he looked like that.
Now I see why he's a star. Such a photogenic smile.
LOL 😁 amd his super charisma
Let’s be honest. Johnny was the second (true) main character in every timeline.
Heck yeah! Earthrealm trio Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, and Johnny Cage lol
Yes 💯
I mean Mortal Kombat (1992) was originally supposed to be a game about Johnny Cage, sooo...
What do you mean "second"?
@@ActualJohnnyCage Have mercy! ÚwÙ
You got rickroll❌ You got caged☑️
🤣🤣
🤣
😹😹😹
Sounds about right
you're johnnyfied
Probably the most definitive "You Got Caged" video I've seen yet. This captures Johnny as a character in MK1 and almost as a whole.
LOL gotta make Johnny proud 😁
@@Marxeez man, this is the best tribute ever for him
unironically the peak of "caged" videos
the best part easily being "a girl... is she hot?" then IMMEDIATELY CUTS TO KANG'S DISAPPOINTMENT, FOLLOWED BY MILEENA AS THE CHORUS FOR INTERNATIONAL LOVE PLAYS
could not be more perfect
🤣🤣🤣 thank you friend!!
0:45 MK fans when they see Mileena
Personality above face
@@IluminousOne-9.7.2Most seem to be into the face
@@rarescevei8268 Still not surprising
Well, let's not lie to ourselv-
nah kitana is better
My head cannon is that when trying to craft him, Liu Kang tried making him humble, but just just loves Johnny's smugness, and he just felt like he couldn't make him perfect in this timeline, so he just left him how he was
I bet Kang secretly enjoys how cocky and dude bro Johnny can be
Who wouldn't want a friend like Johnny?
He was a great friend to Kang lol
homie was one of his consistent friends next to kung lao
Cage's smugness is the yin to his goldhearted yang, and one that multiple timelines have proven tends to get ironed out with a few good humbling fight loses. Removing it could force him to take up a far worse vice or personality flaw so it makes sense to just leave it alone.
Besides needing Johnny to introduce Earthrealm to Outworld, he definitely missed that fucker lol
Johnny cage is literally the heart of mk
A real family man
Liu Kang may be the mascot, but Johnny is the protagonist.
@@michaeledmunds7056 Scorpion is the mascot. Most people who don't play MK only know Scorpion, Sub and Johnny because of his personality.
@@HighostrichI don't play that game, but Johny its my personality fr
@@Cry_Child Hell yeah 😆
You know you're screwed when International Love begins playing and Cage shows you the middle finger
It's funny how this goes harder than the uppercuts Johnny gives
Yesss SIRR! ✊️
Honestly, the best Got Caged I've seen so far (and I've seen A LOT lol)
LOVE how unique you made it by adding the past games, while also a lot more expressions from Johnny depending on the lyrics. Just a fantastic job all around!
Thanks for the kind words!! 😊 it was sooo fun to make as well
Finally someone made a proper edit, not just put the fatality and music over it
The award to the best Fighter, Actor, comedian and Father of the Century goes to:
Johnny Cage 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
👍👍👍 Husband as well!
@@Marxeezhusband, debatable because Cris didn’t like he was gambling their marriage over his movie career. Prior Johnny was doing the best he can as a husband and dad but Sonya left just to do her job, Johnny told her to think of the family but Sonya dismissed it as Johnny wanting more attention as if he was still immature. I’m just glad they made up at the end of MKX and still became a loving couple in MK11. So yes, he *was* a great husband. Just hope the next Sonya lives up to their previous timeline but is not a workaholic deadbeat mom.
My absolute favorite Cage interaction is with Raiden
"Whats up thunder lad?"
"By the elder gods i hate that nickname..."
Haha also Raidude 😆 🤣
"I'm here to chew gum and obliterate nuts...and im outta gum"
Lmao
When you go from parody of Jean-Claude Van Damme to one of the GOATs of your own franchise.
would buy the game just for the guy
Genuinely considering this
@@ihatethatyoutubedisplaysyo8106Do it.
i mean i did
0:20 the timing on that 'Woo' brings me life
LOL Wooo! 🙌
I like how Sonya is just his hype...woman.

@@Marxeez post better from co 0:59 ntent
Great job! Incorporating past games is a unique touch. Hope this video blows up before the meme dies down
Thanks! I was really debating how it'd go using the past Fatality's.. Even if it doesn't catch fire, this was a fun one to make 😆
Trust me I will love this meme forever
@@Marxeez The true cherry on top of including past Johnny's was Shaolin Monks Liu Kang's silence
You know I never realized how often Johnny just does the splits, hes super flexible actually.
If I could do the splits, I'd be doing it at every possible opportunity!
thought people would talk about it more often, he’s breaking his own balls to break people’s balls
Never thought I’d become a Jonny cage fan 😂
Nobody is safe from Johnny Cage 🤩
Yeah my fav character before mk1 was raiden and liy Kang but now it's johnny
Ironically him be the main character in MK original... this is a funny plot twist!!
I love how johnny reacts to all his past fatalities and when he gets to the one that's the silliest he likes it.
0:52 he took that personally 💀
It's a sweet fatality!
@@Marxeez yeah it is though
😎👍
0:01 The face of a woman who let a guy hit 'cause he goofy.
Certainly doesn’t hurt also being really hot.
i mean they married in one of the timelines so...
me and the bad bitch i got by being autistic

Agreed, smug and cocky but more than enough skill to back it up, and very deep down still a good person!
But also he's still portrayed as a jerk. He doesn't fall into the BBC Sherlock or Rick and Morty trap of forgetting that the main character being the worst is a character flaw, and not an aspiration.
Johnny is cool, but you know you're not supposed to aspire to be him
Could Not Agree More on that
Especially with the whole BBC Sherlock thing
I'm literally starting to think i'm Ryan Gosling and Johnny Cage at the same time
This lives rent free in my head at all times.
The song just stays in your head afterwards 😆
He makes me feel like I've failed as a man.... damn...
We can all work towards it 😆
This is BY FAR the most amazing and definitive “You got CAGED” edit I’ve seen. Definitely My favorite haha!
Thank you thank you!!
I love how you end the video with the "CUT!" motion from Johnny.
I saw that cutscene and knew exactly where it was going!
BRO DROPPED THE HARDEST "YOU GOT CAGED" EDIT AND THOUGHT WE WOULDN'T NOTICE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If you are ever fighting a Johnny cage, and he plays this song in the voice chat, you know you are screwed.
🤣
me as a kid playing Mortal Kombat: "I main Scorpion!"
me now:
Maturing is realizing Johnny Cage is way better 🤣
Can't believe this meme is almost a year old already.....it feels like it was just yesterday
Time really flies 😢
International love is johnny cages theme song, it works so well with his character
It really does, and I'm not 100% sure why. It's just a pleasant surprise
I've never touched a Mortal Kombat game, hell I didn't even know much about the series apart from the fact that it's a brutal fighting game with magic. But Johnny Cage changed it for me. The man made me read up on MK lore. All thanks to the memes.
LOL ❤️
Average internet influencer VS. actual people with powers
By the power of Johnny Cage, I demand that this meme becomes popular again. It always makes me motivated when I see it.
Johnny Cage and his wife fighting together goes hard 🔥
For sure best couple!
Liu Kang’s reaction got me 😂
LOL! 🗿
This damm edits made me buy the game.
Thank God it feels so good to John around the Cage.
The best version of Mortel Kombat that makes Johnny King's character wonderful. It has become my favourite character.
My favourite as well!! 😍
Words cannot convey the fact when your favorite hero of the entire MK series became everyone's favorite, Johnny Cage top
💪🏻😎🖕🏻
Johnny Cage + 2010s pop music = some of the funniest shit ive seen on the internet
Johnny: *breathes*
*International love imediatly starts playing*
Bro this is "Literally me" with "IDGAF" best representation.
0:48 Liu kang is so done with this man 🤣
Edit: this is honestly the most beautiful get caged video I've ever seen.
Thanks a lot!! Reasonable reaction to Johnny lol
@Marxeez edit: i just noticed that you timed the uppercuts to the beat, and that makes it even better.
@@RoyalGriffin. Hahaha thanks for noticing that!
anyone see cage do the splits during his Fatality? 1:04
Yea
Johnny out here carrying Mortal Kombat 1.
The mod was one of the main reasons I got the game I didn't plan on buying it for a few years even though I am a huge fan of the franchise
I love how everyone mostly pairs Johnny with Sonya lmaooo
His OG wifey 😶🌫️ Sonya #1
Cause they were literally married at one point and had a child?
@@영환김-f9x if they can ship 2 characters just be being together in one frame of a cut scene then being married and had a child (even if its from another timeline) is more than enough
This song should be in the game purely to make this meme canon
What I'm more impressed by is that clean ass split. Holy shit Johnny
i like how we have a cast full of demons, powerfull wizzards, assasins, monsters and even gods yet the most beloved and cool character is just a carismatic actor
Help I'm stuck in a loop of Johnny Cage International Love edits and can't stop watching
Keep going, don't stop! 😆
I just saw a little detail, that Johnny Cage has done the spilts, while he literally destroyed Scorpion. Because he’s just that good. 🕺
He's gotta show off his flexibility!
Easiest fight of my life.
@@ActualJohnnyCage i can tell. 😉😩
One of the most beautiful edit of Johhny Cage I ever seen.
Thanks so much!
Very nostalgic with the other Johnnys from previous MK games. Besides, I wish this Johnny's dance could've been MK11 Johnny's friendship dance with the same song.
I was hesitant to buy MK1, but this video changed my mind
😆😆😆😆
Someone: Cage! Look! A GIRL!!!
Cage: Rizz is the only option!!!
this song became the cage's theme, like Dante's heartbeat
“ vroom vroom and boom “
That's trademarked, don't use my line!
💀
on this episode of things you didn't know you needed: a one minute long johnny cage edit
🤣🤣
He's my favorite Mortal Kombat character, even though I've never played it, his personality makes me smile every time 😂😂😂
I was never into Mortal Kombat, but MK1 might be an exception and I love all these Johnny Cage edits lol. This one is the best for me and shows much love to the character.
Thanks a lot! They designed him ridiculously well for MK1

I love to fight with Jonny against some overly serious characters
bro's superpower is charisma
Wish I had that superpower. GOAT
I can’t wait for mk1 if they somehow implement international love with Johnny Cage somehow like make it a fatality somehow
I saw a mod somebody made that plays the song with the move lol
It's international love for Cage
Best Johnny Cage edit I've seen by far!
Thank you very much! ❤️
When you won discussion vs most smart kid in your class:
He's the only character you don't want to see him with his face completely disfigured, can't have that.
Gotta protect his money-maker 😂
