Fun fact: The MorningStar from Borderland 2 was imagined by Randall Munroe, of the xkcd webcomic. In one of the strip, he imagine a sniper rifle that guilt trip you, in a "That victim had only 2 terms left on his mortgage" kinda way. Someone at Gearbox liked the idea, or was out of idea.
In vanilla WOW there was a low level weapon called "The Judge's Gavel" that had the ability to shut people up. Click it and it interrupts any action the target was doing from any range (like carrying the flag in War Song Gulch.) the person who figured out what the thing could do was Nicolai on Windrunner server.....The very first "High Warlord" in WoW. People constantly accused him of hacking because " They kept dropping the flag for no reason " making it nearly impossible to beat his team. The guy became the #1 ranked PvP player in a game with 11 million players using a piece of "Vendor Trash" as his weapon. ( Actually it was his team mate "Tweeter" who used it )
@@isabelleandaustinbarko2128 The part I loved was the game forums were practically bleeding with people providing game video that "proved" Nicolai's team was hacking....the GM's would review the game logs and see that he was just using the Judge's Gavel the way it was intended to be used. Everyone else sold the weapon to the vendors because it was just a "green" but if they ever bothered to read the description they would have seen that it had an epic ability with a 20 second cooldown.
I stopped considering joke weapons in new Vegas as jokes because you can probably make a build around anything and beat the whole game with it rolling pin, BB gun, silenced 22 pistol, kitchen knife, recharger pistol,etc
The youtuber Mitten Squad actually did videos on how to beat new vegas with only a 22. pistol or rolling pin. Check it out. Also the unique BB gun had a ridiculous crit damage, I think as much as the sniperrifle. So that thing isn't a joke either.
You can do anything with the proper build. Take Skyrim for example. Year One- I'm going to make a fists only build *World laughs* Year 7- Fists become the most broken thing in History with gloves of the pugilist and some fucking enchantments.
Speaking of Skyrim, you can just get a strong companion and beat the game with nothing but restoration magic and speach skill. It's actually a pretty fun way to play.
To be fair to Time-Splitters, I would consider someone who picks a brick as their weapon of choice over a gun, far more dangerous. A gun is a threat A brick is a promise Also someone make more Time-Splitters
Reminded me my teenage when we had an intense game on a friend's gamecube. I remember the fun and laughter we had by doing brick only matches. Best laughter was that I could saw once on my part of the screen the brick heading right to my face.
Seems just about right to describe modern Brostep. Either that, or "A demon from hell having a major bitchfit". (I.e. Terravita - RAGE, Kai Wachi - BREAK, Space Laces - Torque)
wait what, they are useful, i thought the throwblasts were the op throwing weapon in that game, is there a enemy in that game with more than 10k hp?If not, ill maybe spend a million or two on them
"The persistence, patience, and nothing-else-better-to-do-ence" pretty much sums up the vast majority of gamer achievements and goals within the video game world. And I'm not even mad.

I like to imagine that the smooth jazz piece during the “beware of spoilers for the following games” is played by the Oxbox gang. Andy on piano, Jane on double bass and Mike on the drums.
If I remember right that clip was actually from the “planet X” mission, so unless Elon Musk was planning a trip to Mars or the far-flung reaches of space 1-2 years ago, we could probably safely cross that off the list for a possible future of ours.
In Fallout New Vegas when you have the Wild Wasteland perk you’ll eventually get a “Timmy is stuck in a well?” Joke with Rex. Turns out there’s a skeleton in a well, but better than that is the BB gun that comes with it. I’ve seen people spec’d into stealth 1-shot deathclaws.
@@arachnesakura9375 and the jellyfish would be holding the flamethrower in its tentacles so it wouldnt be able to sting you, thus its completely harmless.
I ran an AD&D campaign, multiple ones actually. Sometimes a Detect Magic spell finds a tarnished copper spoon, makeshift blowgun, or a rusty sword that seems on the verge of disintegrating is magically enchanted. My veteran players pounce right upon either one of those.
@@DragonMan-tj3eg Then you might love one weapon I had for a single campaign. It was a big leg of nice smelling mutton on a banquet table that otherwise had long-ago rotten food. The meat on it was only edible if you gently bit it off, and it grew back. The players saw it as a slow-consumable type of infinite food... part right. It was when I introduced the Club of Meat+3, +6 vs. Vegetarians (kill them on a natural 20 if they are the preachy type of vegetarian [those since are now called "vegans"]). The meat club hardens to diamond hardness when more than gentle force/motion is applied to it. It also did 1d4 permanent HP damage against those decaying, carrion eaters, and infections life forms (rot grub, green slime, yellow mold, etc.). It's actually a pretty decent weapon. Because it's warm and has a nicely spiced smell aroma of cooked meat, NPCs usually giggle at the aspect of you brandishing what looks like your dinner as a weapon. Also, it tends to make wherever it's held greasy where the meat touches. Oh, and part of the enchantment is that you never get sick of the taste of that finely prepared mutton... and the smell will constantly tempt you to gently nibble on it. You'd probably love the bits of comedy we sprinkle in our overall serious gaming sessions and campaign worlds.
@@DragonMan-tj3eg Oh, and I did have one planned for it because of a historical thing in our world. That never left my "maybe" thing as a DM. Bread of Bashing. Scroll of Weaponize Food. Iron Bread Mold.
@@DragonMan-tj3eg You would have blended well with our group. 😎And that Club of Meat became a mainstay of a reoccurring character in later campaigns, but the players never realized that leg of mutton he was always nibbling on was just that... the same club of meat, that very weapon they once had. Lord Garp (that mage) was, by profession, a wealthy merchant who regularly hired adventurers to guard his caravan. He was Neutral Evil but seemed to be a good guy. Garp was very obese, always having loads of food on him, loud (including his regular booming happy laughter), and often crafted custom magic items for PCs when they overpaid him. The thing is, when the caravan got attacked, they didn't conclude the tasty mutton leg he used was a previous campaign's Club of Meat. They just thought his gluttonous ^ss simply would not put his food down, even for combat. Well, that was part of it, but he was not an idiot. And if you like Lord Garp, go ahead and steal him. Steal away any of my odd items too!😉
@@ThePandafriend I just feel it's better to back up the correct opinion with evidence. Simply stating it is the best rather than giving reasons is the sort of thing for people to complain and disagree about
The description for broken sword in Dark Souls says only a hollow would use it, but with only a little bit of love* it can become one hell of a weapon *Love being fully leveling it and adding a giant endgame wolf soul

I loved the Dupstep gun. Once fully upgraded, the metal version was basically the only gun I used. I had so much fun watching things jump into the air and explode.
As much as I love the sling, I’m surprised they didn’t go for the much better joke weapon. Casey A baseball bat in a game about guns. Not only does it have one of the highest damages, it can reflect enemy bullets.
The main problem being that it’s so satisfying to kill stuff with it that it tends to make the user super reckless a die trying to get into melee range, or time hits on enemy projectiles. Which honestly, real fitting with the name.
I actually sleep alone in a room witH four Furbys and I am totally finE. Why do you ask? They aren’t hoLding me hostage. They don’t follow me around the house watching my every movement. Totally normal children’s Playthings. Nothing Menacing herE.
I always get a chuckle about imagining doing the quest but not buying the c finder off the kid and he unknowingly just vaporizes one of his friends randomly
A broom: Assassin's Creed 2! Never mind all those fancy weapons you can buy for yourself, all you really need is to make someone drop their broom, pick it up, and you now have a broom with the same damage as some of the most powerful one-handed weapons in the game!
I'm no RU-vidr so I don't know for sure but I think that messes with their figures in some way. I've seen it mentioned in other videos with time stamps. If I need to sit through an ad then I'd hope they at least got something for it.

"So if you were asked to name a weapon for a legendary hero to use, a frying pan definitely wouldn't be one of them" How dare you disrespect the greatest hero of all, Lego Samwise Gamgee
9:00 Frying pans actually could be used as weapons. A cast iron frying pan is both heavy and handheld, and I’ve seen enough tangled and played enough dead cells to know that frying pans are AWESOME
Another enter the gungeon weapon you forgot to mention is the Casey (praise). It's a baseball bat that's D rank and because it's a melee weapon it gives you curse. It also does 100 damage a swing, has infinite ammo and reflects bullets so that's kinda cool.
I want to make the expected joke that the reason she thinks the frying pan is only good for those two things is because 1) English cousine is an oxymoron, and the more sad reality some people face being 2) She hasn't had to settle a domestic situation in a kitchen, which my GF had to do as a kid against an abusive BF her mom had... or you know just see it done in old school cartoons on the regular.
The frying pan is a callback to one of the first original fantasy series a lot of developers at that time read as kids, Dragonlance. There is a character in it that has never been properly trained in how to fight or anything, yet she routinely just DESTROYS enemies using a frying pan while scared out of her mind. She was just a tavern maid before getting caught up in the group's journey. Sadly, even by the end of it she still couldn't handle a sword for crap...and just stuck with a frying pan as her weapon of choice.
The Penetrator was the best weapon in Saint's Row for melees. Also, all the weapons that turned the enemy into animals in various Ratchet & Clank games.
Jane, I feel that I must refer you to Tangled as evidence that frying pans are also good for bashing people with...and fighting sword-wielding horses...
Or the uniquely shaped melee weapon in Saint's Row the 3rd that was waaaaaay more powerful than any normal melee weapon.. >.> (Note that this post is "family-friendly"... xD)
@@deathbykonami5487 woosh... All jokes aside I do have quite some time in Fallout 4 compared to New Vegas (mostly due to modding 4) but I do have to say a lot of people wouldn't agree with the idea that 4 and new vegas as equally as good, seeing as 4 has a lot of narrative issues, as well as offering less freedom to the character in their actions compared to New Vegas. I personally prefer New Vegas to 4 ( even if I currently have less time in New Vegas compared to 4), and find 4 has a bit too many issues to be held at such high regard, but I don't feel like writing any more of a word wall than I already have.

@@Mark-D751 lmao still disapointed that they put in the morning star, its not that great, just a bug to make others good like the boom puppy used to do
@@deathbykonami5487 you could get it to work fine on op8, that makes it a decent sniper, but tbh i rather have a gemstone snider in every element than the morning star
My Favourite Joke Weapon to this day is still the Groovitron from Ratchet & Clank, I mean who doesn't want their enemies to be unable to resist the urge to Dance.
The dubstep gun was really good but when I think of over powered joke weapons from saints row, I think of the pimp hat from the first game and the foam finger from the second game. I think they were just online weapons but with one hit, you could rag doll your enemies
"Frying pans are only good for two things: Frying pancakes, and frying eggs." Unless you're playing PUBG, in which case they're pretty good at stopping bullets, and smashing in heads.
@@Hellwyck well, see.. some kinds of stake need to have the surface hardened for maximum effectiveness. Searing it in a frying pan is one way to get that done.
7:40 It's a shotgun shell that shoots shotguns how a shotgun would shoot shotgun shells that also shoot shotgun shells upon impact. Anyone else getting a chicken man man vibe here?
In Dishonored- especially Dishonored 2- the flammable bottle is pretty gimmicky. But do you have a swarm of rats? Or especially a swarm of blood flies? Just yeet a flammable bottle at then and BAM, the most annoying enemy in the game is gone.
My All-time Favourite FPS Joke Weapon Has To Be The Terrance And Phillip Farting Doll Grenades. The Terrance Doll Saying "I Fart On Your Grave" When Selected Is FUCKING HILARIOUS!
How do you miss the ham on a stick, cheese wedge shield, or the gigantic spoon from Dragon Age: Inquisition? (Jade Ham, Wedge of Destiny, and The Boon of the Spoon).
I'd also throw in Mr Toots - a 'weapon' from the otherwise fairly average game Red Faction: Armageddon. It was a fully animated handheld unicorn that you would point ass-first at the enemy and lift its tail as a 'trigger' animation after which it would 'fire' a rainbow beam of death capable of burning through any structure or person you aim it at like a plasma cutter through butter. The fact this infinite range/infinite ammo war crime is accompanied by fart sounds and the unicorn screaming in terror as it gives new meaning to the term 'explosive diarrhea' just adds to the effect.
The Morningstar is actually even better because you can use it to do a glitch that can permanently increase your damage with every weapon to insane levels. I’m talking 1 shot the final boss levels of insane.
Cat Gun from S.K.I.L.L Special Forces 2 anyone? cute cat being used a weapon is cute and terrifying at the same time nobody suspects a thing and dead bodies everywhere
