Something all bosses need to explain: why they all lurk in large arenas with lots of cover right near stashes of health items and weapons. This seems like poor decision making.
Sometimes it makes sense. It's usually deep into a dungeon or bunker that is really hard to get to, and one has to imagine that the health and ammo stashes are for the henchmen that guard the boss arena.
The only logical thing I can think of is that have fought other weaker heroes before, and some part of them just got bored with crushing weaklings, so they left stuff there so the next hero would provide a challenge
Never having played God Hand and seeing the first few weird bosses introduced in this vid, I was like, "these remind me of the monsters in Power Rangers.." *5 Midgets appear* Check.
Boss fights are always weird... Everyone watches, HR have to get involved, there's an air of sexual tension about the whole thing... Oh wait, video game channel, right, video game bosses. Sorry. Good list, guys.
Fun fact: "Psychopathy" is not a diagnosable psychological disorder - intentionally so. A decision was made to not include diagnostic criteria for psychopaths, because to do so would effectively allow psychologists to diagnose people as "officially evil" - something that would basically ruin a person's life. So calling someone a psychopath is just an insult, not an attack on their mental health. "Mania," however, is a recognized and diagnosable mental illness, or at least a component of one. Bipolar depression, aka manic depression or bipolar disorder, is characterized by states of extreme highs and lows. The highs are called mania - and a person suffering from them could be referred to as a "maniac," though not in a professional setting. So by changing the names of the bosses from "psychopaths" to "maniacs," Capcom went from insulting people who don't technically have a mental illness to insulting people who actually do. Well played.
Its an obsolete term, maniac used to be used to refere to people with mania but that is no longer the case actually. Thou it can still be seen as offesive, that means the word is, or atleast should be, no longer realated to to those disorders. When you look it up the mayority of the definitions say its used to refer to someone who acts in a wild or dangerous way, or some one with obsessive enthisiasm towards something.

The weirdest boss I think I ever fought is the Octo Oven in Splatoon 2's single player. Yes, it's a really big machine with multiple ovens all over it. And its cooking loaves of Octarian bread. By that, I mean the Octopod enemies of the single-player campaign are loaves of ink-covered bread for some inexplicable reason. And it also has a built-in glazer... That shoots geysers of ink to serve as a rotating wall of death, and inky cinnamon sticks that serve to block your path.

Did anyone else do Luke's arm punching move, in time with the music for Star fox, like he did on that episode of SOTWE? Thanks Luke I can't hear that music now without doing "The Westaway!"
Spoilers for Mass Effect 2. The boss at the end of the suicide mission in Mass Effect 2 is pretty WTF when you consider that it is a Reaper which has been made from dissolving tens of thousands of humans into a paste
Oh that's totally explainable. Reapers take the form of whatever the original form of paste they came from! That makes total sense if you don't think about it beyond that sentence!
That's a different type of WTF boss. The type of "what is this monstrosity" that can still be explained in the universe of the media in question (in this case, Mass Effect, but I don't know shit about said universe so I don't know much about the Human Reaper (which I'm assuming is what you're talking about and no, just because I know what it's called, doesn't mean I can explain it to you)). THESE bosses, on the other hand, are the type of WTF bosses that have NO REASON to be there. Say, fighting the CEO of the company that made the game in question. Granted, games like God Hand and South Park have a bunch of bosses that fit into the WTF category, so in those cases, you just have weirdest in a sea of weird bosses. Sorry for rambling, I can't seem to shut up when I type.
@@luciferheller8725 yeah definitely fits into the disgusting WTF category for sure but still is a massive WTF moment in the game when you realise people are being liquidated and then you fight that boss made from their organic material haha!
Fun fact: the original design for that boss was MUCH less ridiculous looking. We ended up with a giant Terminator that would presumably fly around like Superman, but the concept art was less "ridiculous" and more "disturbing." It also bore a lot of similarities to the Thorian. Which, given that the Thorian can make husks and can "sort of" indoctrinate people, raises some interesting questions on what the Thorian really was.
I thought he was more spider like. Both descriptions work though. Last time I played MGS3 was hilarious. The End, snake, and me all fell asleep during his fight!😂
I never got far in Star Fox, my older brother did way better. “I got wing damage.” Staying in formation during the training level is just impossible. It was in a time when game over meant start at the beginning They may not be considered bosses, but in the first Dead Rising, and it took forever, but I finally beat the convicts driving that truck with the big gun on the back. Yay, that area is a lot safer. But then they have some sort of resurrection power, “No, you’re dead. I killed you!!!” They’re not even zombies. The clown stays dead. The cop stays dead. Why won’t they stay dead 😩
For some reason, the final boss of The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age always seemed weird to me. Because it's the eye of Sauron. There's no explanation _how_ or _why_ (except to distract Sauron while Frodo those his thing, I guess) you're suddenly on top of the tower of Barad-dûr, it just kinda happens. And after you beat the eye, they play the scene from the movie where the tower falls down. And I guess the heroes die?
I remember that. What's weird is that the game (kinda) made sense up until then (ignoring the lore breaking things, or the fact that these characters were somehow stalking the actual heroes throughout the game) but that last boss came out of left field.
3:40 I love that the lucha gorilla is just as perplexed by this question as I am. I haven't played God Hand, but I expect I'll succumb to the little crazy voice in the back of my head if I dare.
I feel like that livestream was basically a joke that went so well, they HAD to make it happen. And then on top of that, the boss of Platinum Games (a company that effectively specializes in WTF) also being there.
The final boss from OCTAHEDRON definitely counts as this for 1) being a gigantic Icosahedron, 2) popping in out of nowhere and 3) is literally the only boss in the entire game
I stopped being afraid of that guy when I realized his main body is just a reference to Evil Dead 2. Now all I can do is yell at him to swallow this while I beat on him with my sword.
Deadhand is memorable, but the boss that makes me shudder in painful recollection is Bongo Bongo. The z targeting during that boss fight usually ends up with me getting rammed into by a giant eyeball at 500 mph while the camera spins around in the opposite direction. Also the amount of theories about wtf Bongo Bongo range from vengeful Sheikah priest to tortured spirit and everything in between
Another fun fact about God Hand's Mad Midget Five: Their theme song is fantastic. It's one of the best in the game, and entirely out of place for a song that hype. It's called "Sunset Heroes" on the game's Soundtrack, which is a far more awesome of name than what befits that boss-fight. I mean, I think it's an awesome name.
Oh, I had to do this once... in the beginning, use slide attacks until he falls down, then repeatedly kick him until he gets back up. Avoid his rushing attacks when he turns red or you'll be going to Suplex City. When he reaches a quarter of life, he'll suddenly assume Herculean Form and becomes invulnerable. To beat him here, use a Twinkie on him, then unleash Hell.
I couldn't figure out how to get the Flame Vent at first, so that Chained Ogre gave me quite a bit of trouble. Managed to get past him eventually, then decided to go back to the temple on a whim, talked to the sculptor and proceeded to unlock the HIrata Estate and the Flame Vent less than ten minutes later.
The 5 midgets are from Pokemon Colosseum, a old Game Cube game where the whole point was to take corrupted Pokemon from an evil organization. The 5 dudes are literally only meant to block your way out of the city, and there are 5 exits. Whichever you choose will give you the chance to catch a different Pokemon, but you can only fight one, as if you win they all run away
Supriesed that Majima (Yakuza Kiwami) is not in this. After all, he *Stalks you forever to fight you or do Majima things* (Majima things are beautiful) You can put in Dural from Virtua Fighter (all of them), she's just metalli- *realized that in 4 Kages mom [I think] turned into Dural*
I feel like any Kingdom Hearts boss could fit on this list, but if I had to pick one, I'd say the Spellican from Dream Drop Distance is definitely up there. I mean, that thing is weird (like any Kingdom Hearts boss should be, especially if they're in Dream Drop Distance), but it summons earlier bosses to do its work? come on, Spellican, now you're just being lazy. fight your own fights.
Jane is right, "god is dead" is Nietzsche. It's also a song by black Sabbath which features on the album "13". The song is a reference to Nietzsche who said "god is dead, god remains dead and we have killed him."

the morgan freeman bossfight was actually pretty easy, if a bit slow for me. I had kenny on my team and each time he died i used his special to revive him and hit my charmed character so that he was on my side again, and then i could hit freeman one time until i wwas charmed again. Rinse and repeat for like 15 minutes and i finally won
See we make fun of the Slot Machine boss as kids until we reach adulthood and end up with realizing the true horror that boss was symbolic of: *GAMBLING*
So it’s Japan. Just rename this bosses made by Japan because Japan. Also the white rabbit from Dark Moon Fair. Yes it’s a Monty Python reference. It requires several full raids which will still probably wipe you, and only one person will get the only loot which is a pet version of the rabbit.
Just pick a boss in Cuphead. Giant angry vegetables? A dragon that sprouts 3 heads? A mermaid that turns into Medusa? A blimp on a unicycle that turns into a steampunk moon? We're could be here all year. 😖
3 headed dragon isnt that weird actually .Its just a dragon from russian fairy tails (no idea how he got into a western game).Agreed on all the rest though .
Don't forget the giant fish with a horrifying human face. Or the giant water-skiing robot. Plenty of weird bosses in that game. Hard Corps had some pretty fucked up bosses as well.
So first you fight the CEO of Square Enix, then you fight the CEO of both Square Enix and Platinum Games. Now let me remind you readers out there, Yoko Taro is making a raid for FFXIV based on Nier Automata, so.......i would love if the final boss of the raid was actually Matsuda and Yoko Taro drops in to help him midway through the fight.
Remember in Borderlands how you fought a gauntlet of wacky, colorful villains all with their own sense of humor? Good times. Remember when the final boss, just out of left field, was a giant tentacle monster and, coincidentally, the first boss to make you wonder if you are suffering from a fever dream?
I admit I clicked this video because of the image. I had to see the Super Sentai based boss. What I didn't expect for them to be a direct reference to J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai! Including a it's giant V logo. Joker is the head of the group, though he doesn't fight but it felt so obvious a reference/parody it's really cool. Especially since I love that old show. XD
No Miror B from Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness? The disco dude was one of the strangest enemies of any Pokémon game. He even had his own funky fresh theme!
I think it's pretty obvious that the Mad Midget Five's motivation is the Power Rangers. :P The weird 90s version. Come on, we've all got drunk and done some sketchy cosplay.
It's less the 90s Power Rangers in and of itself and more the origin of the franchise. To give more detail, Power Rangers is just an Western adaptation of the Japanese Super Sentai phenomenon. They basically dub over any scenes where the team isn't morphed as well as the stuff involving the monsters while the English actors (or whatever language you have it translated to) only really play a part for the story/"normal life" segments. It's actually a huge thing in Japan that's been going on since the 70s and as a result, you'll often find references of some kind to it in just about any form of Japanese media that doesn't need to take itself too seriously be it anime, manga, video games, or so on. Sometimes it'll be subtle and other times, like here.... not so much.
Bluebedo The 5 appear to be specifically based on Goranger, which came out long before Power Rangers was even conceived. They even have a parody of their catch phrase before a battle, typically happening once per episode. No exploding football though.
Well, half of the games on the list are on my Games-to-play-in-the-future List. Now I have a choice: close the video or leave my job indefinitely until I finish every game on the list...
Can't help it, but when seeing the Mad Midget Five the primary thing to cross my mind is that they might be related to Tingle... somehow. In which case, I am not going to mourn any deaths and only wish you could kick Tingle until he dies.
Luchador Gorilla steps up.

3:40 I love that the lucha gorilla is just as perplexed by this question as I am.
I haven't played God Hand, but I expect I'll succumb to the little crazy voice in the back of my head if I dare.
I wanted to know who in square enix are crazy enough to ask their own boss to be a video game boss?
I feel like that livestream was basically a joke that went so well, they HAD to make it happen. And then on top of that, the boss of Platinum Games (a company that effectively specializes in WTF) also being there.
They did not ask
The boss did
You either put him in the game or get fired, you can already tell which option the employee's chose.
The final boss from OCTAHEDRON definitely counts as this for 1) being a gigantic Icosahedron, 2) popping in out of nowhere and 3) is literally the only boss in the entire game
Deadhand from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time? I mean, that thing... I mean... c'mon!
Oh that horrible monstrous creature
I stopped being afraid of that guy when I realized his main body is just a reference to Evil Dead 2. Now all I can do is yell at him to swallow this while I beat on him with my sword.
Deadhand is memorable, but the boss that makes me shudder in painful recollection is Bongo Bongo. The z targeting during that boss fight usually ends up with me getting rammed into by a giant eyeball at 500 mph while the camera spins around in the opposite direction.
Also the amount of theories about wtf Bongo Bongo range from vengeful Sheikah priest to tortured spirit and everything in between
Koloktos (SS) too. And Barinade (OoT), Goht (MM), and that weird cactus-worm thing (ALbW)
I clearly need to play Ocarina of Time again because I don't remember ANY of these fights.
Another fun fact about God Hand's Mad Midget Five: Their theme song is fantastic. It's one of the best in the game, and entirely out of place for a song that hype. It's called "Sunset Heroes" on the game's Soundtrack, which is a far more awesome of name than what befits that boss-fight.
I mean, I think it's an awesome name.
Okay, but now I'm distracted by how Andy pronounces "tacos".
Tackos
Delicious tack-ohs.
It sounds like he’s saying Taakos’ name from The Adventure Zone.
I think starfox may have predicted the battle between video games and gambling microtransactions
My goodness, it did. Thankfully if what I'm hearing about legislation is true, Microtransactions is once again about to lose.
I sent this to my boss
I am not only fired but have to face and fight a furious obese greek man.
Any tips on how to do that outsidexbox?!
Oh, I had to do this once... in the beginning, use slide attacks until he falls down, then repeatedly kick him until he gets back up. Avoid his rushing attacks when he turns red or you'll be going to Suplex City. When he reaches a quarter of life, he'll suddenly assume Herculean Form and becomes invulnerable. To beat him here, use a Twinkie on him, then unleash Hell.
ChaosoneX This is one of best nonsensical comments I've evar read! :D
Do a barrel roll.
I couldn't figure out how to get the Flame Vent at first, so that Chained Ogre gave me quite a bit of trouble. Managed to get past him eventually, then decided to go back to the temple on a whim, talked to the sculptor and proceeded to unlock the HIrata Estate and the Flame Vent less than ten minutes later.
What about the vampire rockstar in DMC3 who kisses you to death, and evaporates into a swarm of bats, then becomes a guitar at the end?
The 5 midgets are from Pokemon Colosseum, a old Game Cube game where the whole point was to take corrupted Pokemon from an evil organization. The 5 dudes are literally only meant to block your way out of the city, and there are 5 exits. Whichever you choose will give you the chance to catch a different Pokemon, but you can only fight one, as if you win they all run away
Saints Row 3 the giant energy drink fight.
His name is Paul.
And 4 my dawg
I love you guys. By FAR my favorite youtube channel. Keep on keeping on ! Never split up either!
You can find me in the..
C L U B !
Get your pets neutered or...
SPADE!
Im hurt, i mean HEART
DOUCHEBAGS!
I'm robbing a jewelry store for the DIAMONDS
Can I though? Do you mean in the couch crying into ice cream? Or was CLUB actually the correct answer?
Supriesed that Majima (Yakuza Kiwami) is not in this. After all, he *Stalks you forever to fight you or do Majima things* (Majima things are beautiful)
You can put in Dural from Virtua Fighter (all of them), she's just metalli- *realized that in 4 Kages mom [I think] turned into Dural*
Yeah Dural is Kage's mother, she was just covered in some metallic substance for a project of some sort, the origin is very vague
I feel like any Kingdom Hearts boss could fit on this list, but if I had to pick one, I'd say the Spellican from Dream Drop Distance is definitely up there. I mean, that thing is weird (like any Kingdom Hearts boss should be, especially if they're in Dream Drop Distance), but it summons earlier bosses to do its work? come on, Spellican, now you're just being lazy. fight your own fights.
No mention of one of the greatest and weirdest boss fights of all time? BOB the KILLER GOLDFISH?
A lot of the bosses in Bayonetta are pretty weird to look at, and even harder to fight
What about giant Nazi zombie fetus from south park stick of truth its literally the definition of wtf
Well, now we know where Cuphead got the idea for the final stage of that frog fight.
Jane is right, "god is dead" is Nietzsche. It's also a song by black Sabbath which features on the album "13".
The song is a reference to Nietzsche who said "god is dead, god remains dead and we have killed him."
3:50 I don't think I've ever heard a character that was so clearly voiced by Sam Riegel,, like yeah that sure is him
What about "The Great Mighty Poo" from conker.... I mean his teeth was corn..
Idk if it is your beautiful accent guys or maybe your sense of humour or your incredible skills to write your script (for those who are in front and behind the cameras) but you kill it in every single list and video. Love the channel!
the morgan freeman bossfight was actually pretty easy, if a bit slow for me. I had kenny on my team and each time he died i used his special to revive him and hit my charmed character so that he was on my side again, and then i could hit freeman one time until i wwas charmed again. Rinse and repeat for like 15 minutes and i finally won
See we make fun of the Slot Machine boss as kids until we reach adulthood and end up with realizing the true horror that boss was symbolic of: *GAMBLING*
Nintendo was trying to warn us!!! :D
So it’s Japan. Just rename this bosses made by Japan because Japan.
Also the white rabbit from Dark Moon Fair. Yes it’s a Monty Python reference. It requires several full raids which will still probably wipe you, and only one person will get the only loot which is a pet version of the rabbit.
Considering lots of these aren't from Japan... No.
There's something I call "Japan stupid" which is when something is so crazy it can only be Japanese. No offense, Japan.
@@hollowknightfan2379 I like to call it "WTF Japan...."
Just pick a boss in Cuphead.
Giant angry vegetables?
A dragon that sprouts 3 heads?
A mermaid that turns into Medusa?
A blimp on a unicycle that turns into a steampunk moon?
We're could be here all year. 😖
3 headed dragon isnt that weird actually .Its just a dragon from russian fairy tails (no idea how he got into a western game).Agreed on all the rest though .
Surprised No one mentioned Mettaton, Not only are his first few fights are super unusual, but facing his EX form threw everyone off.
Ohhh yessssss. 😏
The Mad Midget Five's the second weirdest Super Sentai parody after Akibaranger!
9:58 to 10:06 - Get a bucket and some aloe vera cos that is one sick burn.
This is why I watch this channel, they introduce me to the weirdest games with the wittiest commentary
Wait. Out of all the bosses in South Park the Fractured But Whole, you went with Morgan Freeman?
This entire list could have just been from that game
And a second list out of the all the ones in the stick of truth.
Kharn The Betrayer I think the most “normal” boss from that game is Jared.
No Armaros from El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron?
The first phase of the fight is just him dancing in front of the camera.
When the giant turtle boss's butt attacks you in Contra Shattered Soldier...
Don't forget the giant fish with a horrifying human face. Or the giant water-skiing robot. Plenty of weird bosses in that game. Hard Corps had some pretty fucked up bosses as well.
Tbh, it's not a contra game if it hasn't a wierd boss fight
Godhand is hands down one of the most WTF games I've ever played. It's a classic for sheer weirdness.
Sees the Mad Midget 5 and thinks:
I knew the Power Rangers were evil!
So first you fight the CEO of Square Enix, then you fight the CEO of both Square Enix and Platinum Games.
Now let me remind you readers out there, Yoko Taro is making a raid for FFXIV based on Nier Automata, so.......i would love if the final boss of the raid was actually Matsuda and Yoko Taro drops in to help him midway through the fight.
"You can find me at the... CLUB!"
Freaking brilliant.
Remember in Borderlands how you fought a gauntlet of wacky, colorful villains all with their own sense of humor? Good times. Remember when the final boss, just out of left field, was a giant tentacle monster and, coincidentally, the first boss to make you wonder if you are suffering from a fever dream?
Why do the mad midget five kinda remind me of the hexagon brothers from pokemon XD.
That’s because both groups you mentioned are based on kamen rider
@@theotakuwolf8573 you mean Super Sentai cause it's not even close to Kamen Rider
Just glad someone remembers the Orre games.
BJGvideos Same. I really remember liking those guys as a kid.
I admit I clicked this video because of the image. I had to see the Super Sentai based boss.
What I didn't expect for them to be a direct reference to J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai! Including a it's giant V logo. Joker is the head of the group, though he doesn't fight but it felt so obvious a reference/parody it's really cool. Especially since I love that old show. XD
Look no further than The Binding of Issac for a plethora of WTF bosses
Good to see that shout-out to God Hand. Didn't know people still knew about it.
So both The Simpsons and SouthPark had you fight God
And Silent Hill 3
And I thought deep rock Galactic would be on this list. One of the missions have you fight a literal scented rock.
The Simpsons game was actually one of the first games I ever played
No Miror B from Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness? The disco dude was one of the strangest enemies of any Pokémon game. He even had his own funky fresh theme!
I think it's pretty obvious that the Mad Midget Five's motivation is the Power Rangers. :P The weird 90s version. Come on, we've all got drunk and done some sketchy cosplay.
It's less the 90s Power Rangers in and of itself and more the origin of the franchise. To give more detail, Power Rangers is just an Western adaptation of the Japanese Super Sentai phenomenon. They basically dub over any scenes where the team isn't morphed as well as the stuff involving the monsters while the English actors (or whatever language you have it translated to) only really play a part for the story/"normal life" segments.
It's actually a huge thing in Japan that's been going on since the 70s and as a result, you'll often find references of some kind to it in just about any form of Japanese media that doesn't need to take itself too seriously be it anime, manga, video games, or so on. Sometimes it'll be subtle and other times, like here.... not so much.
Bluebedo The 5 appear to be specifically based on Goranger, which came out long before Power Rangers was even conceived. They even have a parody of their catch phrase before a battle, typically happening once per episode. No exploding football though.
Earthworms Jim should be worth a mention.
Turkeys guys... take it down for the doomsday
I’m just trying to get my head around “a COLANDER full of SAUCE.”??? H O W???
Just started the video and based on the thumbnail I'm disappointed that the Axem Rangers aren't in here.
I mean, I love Super Mario RPG as much as the next guy, but the Axem Rangers were basically just axe-wielding evil Power Rangers IIRC lol.
@@FamousWolfe well yeah but the mighty midget whatevers from GodHand were just short power rangers.
Yeah well, *that's what the Commenter's Edition is for.*
Now just to wait.
Skull Monkeys is actually a sequel to an adventure game called The Neverhood, created by the same guy who made Earthworm Jim
Glad people remember this great game.
7:20 he may be out of shape but he’s covered wars you know.
A magic armed person who uses his legs to destroy the balls because using the arm wastes magic right? It doesnt really matter much!
Well, half of the games on the list are on my Games-to-play-in-the-future List.
Now I have a choice: close the video or leave my job indefinitely until I finish every game on the list...
I'm loving your recent weird/bizarre-themed lists. :D
Finally someone shares my hatred of turkeys.
We can celebrate turkey revenge day together.
Aka Thanksgiving
@@3mmmmmm
Yes.
0:02 love the shirt
Do the Mad Midget Five remind anyone else of the Ginyu Force from Dragon Ball Z?
They are both based on Super Sentai.
Can't help it, but when seeing the Mad Midget Five the primary thing to cross my mind is that they might be related to Tingle... somehow. In which case, I am not going to mourn any deaths and only wish you could kick Tingle until he dies.
Every boss In "Conkers Bad Fur Day", "Persona 4" and "Persona 5"
Andy "I think that makes sense"
Me "It's a 90's platformer, sense is relative"
