More Joke Characters in Video Games 

for kirby there is also the copy ability "copy", which you get from swallowing a Tac, and gives you the ability to, well, copy enemies abilities by scanning them.

One of the weirdest things is that they actually nerfed magikarp in scarlet and violet. It got rid of its jumping move which made a lot of sense with magikarp having it, and got rid of its ability to use hydro pump

I'd also consider Farfetch'd to originally be a form of a joke character Pokemon, as it was originally conceived from the a Japanese proverb about how a duck and leek was easy pickings. I don't know Japanese myself, but I've heard it's similar to the line "A fool and his money are easily parted" Basically in Gen 1, the only way to get a Farfetch'd was by trading a Spearow, but Spearow evolved into Fearow, which was pretty useful, at least in Gen 1. Farfetch'd, though, couldn't do much of anything in Gen 1, it was unique, but that was it.

soooo glad you brought up sleep kirby and specifically his battle royale appearance god, i love a good joke but actually making sleep kirby a viable option for battle is immensely funnier, missed opportunity for forgotten land with the third dimension n all

I used to think magikarps were pathetic when they flopped around until I had the sudden realization that the flopping might be a sign of their determination to find new bodies of water to live in. It could be another of the many reasons for why they are so successful everywhere.

Along the lines of Magikarp I'm reminded of the Gadabout/Goof-off class in Dragon Quest III. They have terrible stats except amazing luck, ignore your commands a quarter of the time, and when they do choose their own action most of the time do nothing, hurt themselves, give themselves or party members status conditions, make someone lose their turn, and a slight sprinkling of beneficial effects. At level 20 you can job change them to the Sage class, the most powerful magic user in the game, the only class that can do so without the rare "Words of Wisdom" tome, of which there is only 1 or 2 in the game depending on which version you are playing.

Babe wake up, Kiro just uploaded

Magikarp isn’t a joke character it’s a motivational message about heart and perseverance and determination

Thank you so much for introducing me to resident evil tofu, I am incredibly grateful that made my DAY

Sleep Kirby is actually used in speedruns of Kirby's Adventure, to wrong warp to the credits.

Tofu Block for Smash Bros.!!! :) (Seriously, how have I not heard about Tofu Block until now?)

Love to see you cover some of the best guest characters in fighting games.

I remember Custom Robo having the Can and Chick robo sets. Both of them were special like Illegal Weapons. But unlike them, they are even weaker than most standard robos and weapons. But with some skill, anyone can beat an opponent with them.

I still remember the day that a piranha plant was added as a free DLC fighter for Smash and how everyone thought it was going to be Geno 😂

My favourite joke fighting characters are Norimaro from Marvel vs Capcom who was a collab with a Japanese comedian, and Hornet from Fighting Megamix which Sega jammed in a car into a fighting game. Speaking of Hornet, Daytona USA has an unlockable ride called Daytona UMA (uma means horse in Japanese).

0:00: Intro 0:11: Magikarp - Pokémon 3:19: The Tofu Survivor - Resident Evil 2 5:23: Sleep - Kirby Series 8:13: Outro

The fish salesmen are scamming themselves. I would kill for a Gyarados that early in fangames

lowkey sad tofu's canonically dead :( Great vid tho 10/10 would watch again

I don't think it is snot because Kirby doesn't have a nose and we know how accurate to real life the Kirby games are

bro I love your videos they're so well done so underrated

Wild Magikarps also got Hydro Pump. I encountered one and sent out an underleveled pokemon just to level it up, only for it to be defeated by a Hydro Pump.

I got an advertisement for the mobile game flying gorilla right before this video.

Magic karp is the funniest Pokémon

Tofu rules. The fact that they didnt white wash Tofu into like, a hotdog, is why Capcom is the best

Another joke character is (well not really a character) the doorknob from mother 3 or if you want the character, then Thomas, other joke characters are: rope snake, mr Saturn, the men’s room door sign, the ultimate chimera and the bucket bros

You know it's a good day when Kiro uploads

I wanna be sleep kirby, so peaceful not a care about the eldritch horror awaiting them, and actually having the ability to fall asleep

i love joke characters especially those who were intentionally put in

Honestly, I kind of wanted Magikarp as a joke character in Pokken. You would basically button mash to make it flop about. To add to that it turns out that there was a removed character in the arcade version of Tekken 3 called Sake who...was planned to do the exact thing. That would be such a great callback That said Magikarp as a pokeball Pokémon in Smash. Just flops around like Golden but has huge knockback if hit

If i had a nickel for every game that used tofu blocks as a test character, I'd have 2 nickels, which isnt alot but its weird it happened twice

I love your videos. Interesting topics and well presented 👍

why am i today years old finding out about the tofu missions in re2????

Honestly, I would say Cosmog is also a joke character as well, it can only learn Splash and Teleport.

4:08 not only high pitched but it's also in Kansai dialect and that's making it sound even funnier

The world needs more joke characters

Fish Kirby playing minecraft in real life

Also the toads on the train in paper Mario color splash

The next installment NEEDS to feature Old Snake

The Pokémon being called JoJo and Erina was pretty cute as a JoJo fan actually

0:53 that my friend is a carnival game

Fun videos! I think my favorite joke character is Zote from Hollow Knight :D

Remember that one dude who swept an entire team of legendaries with a magikarp?

Damn! I need to finish playing Kirby and the Forgotten Land. I live streamed it day 1 but thanks to JoshScorcher also live streaming it that day, barely anyone watched. Not to mention I hardly ever live stream. I'll probably just finish the game without streaming it at all which is what I would normally do anyway.

3rd person here, BTW, I love ur content I was there since ur first video of The Rapid Rise of Sonic the Hedgehog

Sleep kirby's Early Wake-Up can actually do damages and break blocks, it's not much though.

5:18 Sad anime death

The first Pokemon wanted to teach you about evolution in a form of perseverance paying off; I’d argue characters like Metapod and Magicarp weren’t made as a joke but lesson.

Hey, nice video! It would be cool if you could narrate just a little bit of the message of flash lighting, just if someone isn't paying attention at that time

Correction: Only Partner Pikachu from Let's Go has 430 BST. Normal Pikachu have had 320 BST ever since gen 6.

If you end up doing a next one, you should add the Medicore Melodies from FNaF 6.

Pokémon Legends (one of the earliest Pokédexs in canon btw) calls Magikarp a "feeble, pitiful imbecile". On top of entries in several other games calling it "the most weak and pathetic Pokémon in the world." Poor guy. He's a real loser. Just like me. I wish I evolved into something worthwhile.

there was a playground rumor that spash would 1 hit KO if you used it enough times

Last year, I got my old pokemon card binder from my parent's house and surprisingly, the most valuable card in there was a magikarp that I sold for $300. You're worth a lot in someone's eyes, Magikarp.

Magikarp can actually learn hydro pump in gen 8 by TM.

I was literally just thinking about you

Maaaan idk I go out of my way to buy the cheap Magikarp just so I can get a gyarados as early as I can since it's before you get the first fishing rod lol

Pretty sure you’re talking about partner pikachu having a BST of 430, regular pikachu’s is 320

Les go new video

Pikachu’s base stat total is not 430 that is the base stat total of the special partner Pikachu that you get as a starter in lets go pikachu normal pikachu has a base stat total of 320

Now looking at that big tofu, really made me hungry 🤤 all of a sudden.

Do any of you know of the character from ctr nitro fueled called the iron checkpoint crate? Yes, I'm serious.

SLEEP

LOL before kirby NODs off LOL

Neco Arc when?

"oof!"

forgot about dunsparce

Surprised neither Shigechi or Iggy from JoJo’s made it onto this list. Although they’re not totally useless in All-Star Battle, Iggy has that ugly first appearance alt costume that turns the end of his ultimate into a fart. And Shigechi isn’t very good and is just a really weird choice on the roster.

Smash has two new joke characters in the main roster both introduced in smash ds and Wii Wii fit trainer and duck hunt. How ever the first original joke character were maybe jiggly puff on of the 4 unlockable in the original 64. Then maybe Mr game and watch is maybe the next joke character and take the longest to unlock in melee him an mew 2 unless you cheat by messing with the clock in melee to sped up gaining the only legendary pokemon ever put in smash. If sakuria wanted to he could have easily put a legendary like darkria in smash as an echo to mew 2 dam the whole ash and Tobias controversy crap which was just plain stupid.

Magikarp is the bees knees tho so there's that

Yay kiro

tofu boy from super meat boy was a insult to peta from the devs, since peta didnt know that meat boy is just a boy with no skin, they thought that meat boy was made of animal meat, so they made super tofu boy, and the devs of super meat boy responded by adding tofu boy into their game, and guess what, tofu boy is useless, he cant eve beat the tutorial

I imagine kirby has awful hygiene

I remember catching the red garados but I already had way better Pokémon

Im a joke, i have a mii

The REAL most useless Pokemon is Cosmog

Whyike joke characters like pun characters

Neat

Bright 🍬 🧡🙏🏼

No bad Pokémon only bad trainers You guys think too cold and cynically about Pokémon in terms of stats There are no bad Pokémon only bad trainers who don’t know how to use the potential properly Every Pokémon has potential Pokémon is about Oh your my best friend in a world we must defend I will travel across the land searching far and wide each pokemon to understand the power that’s inside Our hearts so true our courage will pull us through you teach me and I teach you” I raise pokemon the ash way Every Pokémon has potential and any Pokémon can be good with enough compassion kindness trust and determination Y’all have been brainwashed by smogon rules and tiers so much Y’all forgot pokemon are friends first Did you guys learn nothing about his rivalry with Paul and chimchar’s arc Don’t be a Paul. Being a Paul is wrong The anime may have different rules and logic but those life lessons can be applied anywhere and to any aspect of the franchise and life in general
