2 full videos in one week? Someone take the pizza out of the oven, it's gonna burn

Hearing the words "Chop Socky Chooks" spoken aloud made me feel something so visceral I think my vision clouded for a moment

"one guy even cried after being on the episode themed around Madden" and that young boy's name? Scott the Woz

"Moisture and shame, which describes my corroding bedsheets." jesus what a mental image

"I HAVE A HUMILIATION FETISH " - Pan Pizza

Shao Ting: "Why you pick Candy? You dirty!" Pan: "God No!" Audience: "You sure?"

The rats actually speak in Japanese and they never changed it in English

"The 🅱️ooty has been dropped"

That concept of music not kicking in til the action starts is actually pretty sick. Edit :i was mostly talking about fighting games

love realizing that Pan's constant self-deprecation (and general looseness with his "personal business") plays into his humiliation fetish, which we, the audience, are at the receiving end of. i feel like the equivalent of someone unfortunate enough to be in the park when the exhibitionist starts flashing.

"I'd prefer to avoid Hell, but it's better than nothing." *That's deep.*

RebleTaxi makes me forget time exist, i sat here thinking it was a 10 min video, only to realise that its 41 mins.

"What were they DRINKING?" -Pangry Video Game Pizza

"You want your girls to be 18" - Pan Pizza 2020

8:45 It may be because there was a Homestar Runner cartoon that contained "REVENGEANCEFUL", but that was september 2003. SBemail #85, 2 Years [Easter egg] Source: I lived in Ohio and experienced 2004.

Pan why are your videos so good? Like seriously they don’t have to be this cool or stylized or in depth but you do it anyway...just know I (a literally nobody) really appreciate the effort you put into these

"So keep on rubbing" "2 balls of power" This game I tell ya

The early 2000's were a weird and funny time.

Everyone I have a confession to make: as a kid I played Kung Fu Chaos and gotten 5 stars on every single stage and mini game with all unlockable costumes. I don't even remember how I managed it, all I can remember was how great the final stage theme was.

"Even they wouldn't take money from an exploited mobile app company, but I would." Low-key references when he was sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends.

27:45 the drawing killed me I heavily relate to sad banana child

Pan, I think this is one of the best videos you've ever made, and I ain't saying that to be nice. Lots of the type of humour you excel in and interesting behind-the-scenes lore on things I've never heard of.

Me, an Ohioan: *starts sweating* He’s on to us...

“What were they drinking? ... (something something) rolling rock” thank you for honouring the legend that is James Rolfe

Rats, we're rats We're the rats We prey at night We stalk at night We're the rats IM THE GIANT RAT THAT MAKE ALL OF DA RULES Let see what kind of trouble we get ourselfs into

Isn’t “celebrities remodeling your house” something POP tv shouts during an episode of Megas XLR

26:20 *Scott the Woz wants to know your location.*

Remember, the best iconic characters are the ones you can easily recognize from their silhouette alone.

Sneakers is basically xbox take on killer 7

"People, if your maturity is based on the insecurities of the media you consume, you probably weren't all that mature to begin with." Best quote I heard all day Edit: been feeling insecure in myself so I came back here to find this quote to remind myself not to.

2:58 “Im drinking Rolling Rock......ON THE R O L L I N G R O C K!” - AVGN 2008?

Dang, gorillaz now pan ? Today Is a good day

“Guts, I’ve been dead for eight years and you’ll never be able to leave here until you accept that. You’ve been living a lie ever since I died. This isn’t your house. This is a padded cell in the Bedrock psych ward. Your family misses you. Casca has to work two jobs to compensate for your absence, and without a proper male authority figure Kazuto and Suguha have gotten involved in gang activity. Everything you’ve worked for and everyone you love is going to hell and you selfishly decide to sit here and play childish games with yourself. This fragile dream must be shattered. Wake up, Guts.”

your channel is literally what G4 should have been. including the impeccable aesthetic.

"She kicks high" Oh god that commercial at the very end just took me back.

6:23 “Lucy Cannon?” That’s Scary Spice from the Spice Girls PS1 game!

That Ultimate Gamer show looks like a parody show you'd see in something like The Simpsons, Family Gut or South Park...

The controversy over the Koran being used as a sample reminds me of the Stardust Crusaders OVA and it's controversy. They depicted DIO reading the Koran because it was the only Arabic text they had on hand. They had to edit it out, but it was already too late and it basically screwed the whole production.

You know, Pan, you could always recreate that banana vid. We promise to indulge you by pointing and laughing.

While I appreciate you telling all us agnostics to cover our ears at the sound of religious music I will say that that chanting is fucking dope man! I love the way that sounds.

2:59 awesome transition

I absolutely LOVED Kung Fu Chaos growing up. Hell, I still love it. And I love the artstyle as well. It's so weird, and while yeah it's ethically a little... Questionable... The idea is just so charming that I can't help but come back to it every few years.

Kung fu chaos was my damn favorite game on Xbox. Its damn hilarious when you get to taunt and the manual has a funny description of his movie.

Fun Fact: Shadow who appear in Kakuto Chojin is actually a character from Double Dragon, appearing in Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls (as Shadow Master) which is another Fighting Game but for SNES I believe.

the muslim chants also appeared as the intro to Eastern Mind: the Lost Souls of Tong-Nou's main theme (by Osamu Sato, who made LSD Dream Emulator!)

The Muslim guy's music having the chants remixed into it sounds dope, sacrilege be damned. I'm gonna have to look that game's soundtrack up sometime.

I love your commercial cutaways when you come back with the music and fanart. It just has that early 200s nostalgia vibe that is perfect for your channel. Like ive seen almost all your videos and every damn time a commercial cutaway happens im always like “mmmm nice”

Damn pan truly deserves some chocy milk for these uploads this week.

Me: "I already give money to a creator I like every month, I don't have the money to support another." Pan Pizza: "I like Crimson Skies" Me: "...wait..."

Crimson skies could easily be a MASSIVE game series

"it's just rats in different clothing, just like real life" that hit hard

You should do failed sega mascots

“Cause you had a mice day”- pizza pan

I wanna be The Ultimate Gamer for Animal Crossing. Cool room, easiest challenge ever.

I appreciate that AVGN rolling rock reference. It seems like Pan is the only one around who still remembers and respects James Rolfe and his wide-spanning influence.

6:33 love him or hate him he’s spitting straight facts

Even though the art style was a bit questionable kung fu chaos really seemed like a labor of love and it’s sad to see it fade into obscurity. Also, who voiced Nathan Zachary? It sounds so familiar and it’s driving me nuts

That feeling when you're a genuine fan of both brute force and kung fu chaos

6:30 I remember this game cause of a compilation of dirty jokes in videogames and what was this one? It was a sausage comparing contest and the guy says "What a teenie weenie, my sausage can beat up your sausage"

Daddy giving us 2 vids in one week.

RU-vid description: Category film and animation Me: ok

Kung Fu Chaos was one of the first brawler games I remember playing, and I loved it! Me and my brother loved playing that game together! Heh. We’d always fight over who would be Ninja Fu Hiya (best character btw) I’d kill for a full on remake of that game!

17:04 I don’t know who, but SOMEONE needs to hire you to sell their game, because that was awesome. “Oh god yes, the humanity!”

“The booty has been dropped/taken.” - it’s amazing how things are so unintentionally perfect sometimes 😂

"cuckto chojin" -Pan

I really hope we see Blinx next time, I was looking forward to seeing Pan cover it.

Pan: Just taking some time off to add some videos to the backlog, lighten the work load a little Also Pan: *new 40 minute video a week and a half before expected*

"My greatness must be rubbing off on you, so keep up the good rubbing." -Shao Ting, 2003 How is this game not a classic again?

Guys I need to know the futuristic pizza place that Terry takes his brother.

16:05 Ahhh, Locomotion channel. So ahead of its time. Weirdest programming ever. On one side, great animes like Cowboy Bebop, Saber J and Evangelion. On the other, mature western shows like Aeon Flux, The Critic and South Park. The most bizarre yet slick looking bumpers possible. Imagine if Adult Swim air their shows 24 hours non stop. Locomotion was that and more.

I've always wanted to play Kakuto Chojin but the damn controversy made it not exist anymore.

You should do a retrospective for Pucca! That was one of my childhood shows back in Jetix!

Duuude Veeeexxxxx. I remember leaving a Target after playing it just flabbergasted lol. Probably would've been my Jak 2 for that era.

There's a Tim and Eric episode called Jim and Derek that entirely focuses on a spot on parody of early 2000s 'teen' shows like 'The Ultimate Gamer'

Kung Fu Chaos deserves a sequel. I so many fond memories of that game, so much fun. would fully support a remake or sequel.

It was great to see a balanced approach to Kakuto Chojin here. I bought it when it came out and enjoyed it for what it was. I remember working in videogame retail during the time it was recalled, but I was unaware it got a reprint after. That explains why the game is still fairly common today (copies dried up immediately after the recall). The game itself received poor reviews upon release, but there's some nuanced depth to it that made it pretty fun for people like me that like to sit in practice mode, perfecting moves and strings of hits (like interesting, flexible air juggles). I haven't played it in a while but still rock the soundtrack frequently--it's one of my favorite gaming OSTs to this day. Had it not been for the tunes and the overall tone/aesthetic, I probably wouldn't have gotten into it the way I did. By the way, nice work overall here--that dance to Vittoria's theme song had me laughing out loud, haha.

The green guy on the right of the thumbnail looks like Lady's dad from DMC3

"I have a humiliation fetish" as speculated

I grew up with Kung fu Chaos. You may ask why my family would allow me to play such a weird game with such weird naughty themes. Because none of them speak English.

Such an obtuse subject to get a long episode :p

I love your style, the way you set up these videos is fantastic. Your passion shines through and is really endearing; makes me feel right at home.

i just love how much effort is put into each video, the aesthetics are all there and i feel like im watching tv... i would find the cuts in the middle annoying, but its actually very nice with the flow of the video. god, im so glad im a subscriber.

Great video. One of your best. I loved watching it live and it gave me a lot of nostalgia for the 2000s.

If you *ever* make a part 3 of this Xbox series, check out *Phantom Crash* , a mech-based 3rd person shooter mixed with the single player taking cues from Gran Turismo (with manufacturers, parts, etc), an unique artstyle and soundtrack. A very overlooked & underrated game for the Big Green. Even got a sequel on PS2 called S.L.A.I. Steel Lancer Arena International

pan i just wanna say i really like the "What were they drinking?!?" bit. thank you

I’d be down for a remake of Kung Fu Chaos, especially if they go with a more anime inspired look like it was initially supposed to be.

I remember getting a game in Costco it was right next to Crimson Skies in the cheap games pile. Called "Evergrace" and It was great, but it could of been greater. It reminds me of these games in the video.

36:01 even kiryu wouldn't tiger drop someone that hard

I wonder if BJ from Best Buy is a distant relative of Jake from State Farm

Kung fu Chaos, still have the game and still love it! Also Kakuto Chojin, I’ve always wanted that game but thanks to the damn recall it almost hard to find a copy. If they did backpack it with the edited version then I’d buy it in a heartbeat 👍🏾

Man I love your videos. They have so much style and effort put into them. Even the transitions and graphics are great.

This section of the comments is for Clever Boys only.

“Dirty dunce, you said if I won you wouldn’t do this anymore.” WHAT

I have been waiting FOREVER for this video! I'm so glad it's finally here!

16:07 that ad. I saw so much awesome stuff on that channel as a kid, this hits my nostalgia haaard. Respect.

Huh...my copy of OoT had that chanting...explains why I felt weird when in the Fire Temple as a kid

God I remember all the good memories I had with my siblings playing Kung fu chaos. It definitely did not age as well as I would have hoped

How is this channel not at 500k yet? Its so good and the videos look like professionally made episodes

Kung Fu Chaos is like my favorite game nobody else has ever heard of, I used to play it and JSRF nonstop on my dad's Xbox
