I'm gonna be honest as much as I'm a sucker for 'I'm playing dumb because it's funny', I think Travis is genuinely this kind of dumbass. He would mishear something once and start assuming for the rest of his life that Ireland and Atlantis are the same place.
the working title for this sketch was Cooldown's Touchdown Meltdown but i wanted people who like these games to find it a little better. i just like wordplay
I love Travis' pure bewilderment about Ireland. The man's geographical knowledge is basically entirely determined by which countries have a lot of wrestlers, make a lot of videogames, and have a lot of anime.
he has a near encyclopedic knowledge of irish folklore and mythology but only the parts frequently referenced in anime and he just assumed it’s an ancient lost civilization like the Roman Empire and Greece (he also doesn’t know that Greece as a modern nation exists)
Considering your vids got me deep into the Metal Gear hyperfixation I am bracing myself for the No More Heroes hyperfixation I have been fending off for months lol
Weird, ain’t it? First you watch a couple of memes, and before you know it, you’re watching a 4+ hour video essay, analyzing the political and social commentary in a game about an overtly vulgar, dead-beat nerd with a knock-off lightsaber cutting some insane people in half. You go from people impersonating the characters of the game and making jokes about them, to a deep, philosophical reading of a scene where a dude starts firing bullets from his nipples before getting chopped in half lengthwise
What I love about Suda 51 is that he throws so much insane garbage at you that two characters being biological brothers despite having different last names and nationalities is the LEAST difficult thing to understand.
@@dattos140 Ah yes, the game that threw everything that was established in the first two games out the window. All because he decided to watch one of the MCU films on a whim, according to Travis Strikes Back.
@@wanderingmarshadow No the mcu movie thing only explain his religous shit, the reason he went insane in 3 is cause he got his memories back, and remembered his traumatic past with travis and jeanne, and found out he was brainwashed and his whole life was a lie, the movie shit only effected his design.
The fact you made a NMH skit fills me with absolute joy,always fucking loved this saga to death and now one of my fave voices does something with it? Hell yeah
This is like, the opposite of Liquid expositing information to Snake. Instead of a guy who just repeats back what you say, what if your brother just made getting the exposition out the most aggravating thing possible?
I kinda hope we get a sequel set in NMH3 where Travis actually goes through the trouble of learning about Ireland for Henry so they can be closer as bros only for Henry to be like "LOL I'm American now!"
Played NMH since launch- and yeah, you're not too far off. In 3 Travis has a thinly veiled argument about why he dislikes Final Fantasy with one of the bosses.
Not sure if this was intentional, but I find it fitting the person known for doing the "funny Raiden voice" is doing a meme of Henry, who (At least in NMH 1 & 2) shares the same voice actor.
Holy shit, thanks for replying! Here’s hoping NMH and other Suda works get the same Renaissance MGS had gotten in the past few years.I love seeing my new passions be popular.
Henry later went on to see a movie to help himself calm down from the stressful encounter with his brother. Unfortunately that movie was Thor. The rest is history.
@@thereseemstobeenanerror1219 same. On one hand, I get it bc No More Heroes was always a parody of how fucking insane anime is but ever since 2, it’s pretty much become bigger than being a parody
You could easily replace the original scene from the first game with this version and the entire segment would still work perfectly on a narrative and character building (?) level. Anyways, love seeing more NMH shitposty videos pop up recently. It really supplies me with much needed serotonin 💜
As someone raised in Ireland and who is half Irish I can say that I does not matter if you lived there or not sounding Irish either happeneds to your or not.
