Ratchet and Clank in a Nutshell... 

Happy 20th Anniversary Ratchet and Clank! Watch the video with subtitles for extra references :)

The speedrun strats The music throwback The genius and nostalgic animation style The exposure to the wonky mechanics of the classic game The references to the reboot The wacky humor that captures the early 2000s and the og game in general This video is a masterpiece and has much love put in it Thank you for this

"If Al can't fix it, its broke" Qwark has the most memorable lines

9:26 I hope we get to see Ratchet’s vigorous training in ballroom dancing and origami. All necessary skills required of a Commando.

This was so well crafted and lovingly made reminds me of a lot of early internet cartoons while also having its own distinct style love the references and how you integrated meme culture into it too it was hilarious!

Awesome way to celebrate the 20th anniversary.

20 years of crazy weapons and a decade of finding the lombaxes which suddenly became missing

This game is a big part of my childhood! The references, sound effects, etc. just made this video even better! Happy anniversary to one of the best PlayStation games of all time!

This video game was so awesome when I was a little kid playing this and two of the original sequels that came out throughout the 2000's.

2:54 Ratchet: wanna run through that minefield? Clank: Y E S

the usage of speedrun techs turned this animation from good to stellar

This was fantastic! All of the original sound effects are great, and the subtitles are hilarious! (So, leaving Drek on Veldin for days and days to go find more bolts was a universal experience, then? XD).

I adore how this looks 10 years old(in a good way) but has the humor of today.Well done

Also, I love the mission failed part where you can hear the music from Jak 2 in the background. That's so relatable

10 seconds in and I instantly subscribed. I really needed more Ratchet and Clank animations in my life, thank you.

5:20 yoooooo why is this so accurate? I think all of us that played R&C as kids had the same reaction

Your new best animation artstyle (imo), so much memes, your previous works, cheats & other Ratchet games references... this is just pure art. It's just so smooth & more enjoyable to watch than ever. Such an amazing gift for 20th anniversary.

I was born in October 11 2002 and my favorite game franchise is now 20 years old too this franchise was with me since I was a baby

That was so good! Such a cute and funny tribute to the game that started it all 20 years ago! I WISH I knew about the taunter bolt farming glitch as a kid, that would've saved me so much time ;_;

Love that you took the time to include nods to the speedrunning strats used in the game.

I know for a fact that at least some of those crazy skips are actual speedrun strategies, which just makes it all the better. And that ending with Drek... the true R&C 1 experience! Lovely all around.

Oh my goodness. As a diehard fan since the beginning(since playing R&C 2002 demo in early 2002 at the age of 5) and a Ratchet & Clank 2002 purist through-and-through, I LOVED THIS! The art is really well done, the jokes and memes stick the landing every time, and the facial expressions lmfao. This was glorious. Thank you, whoever you a-- oh it says Nicholas Damiani for your channel name. Thank you, Nicholas ...Damiani. :)

that was nice. Loved the mix of memes, speedrunning references and adaptation of the game. The "we uhh, still need to fix that arm" always brings a tear to my eye. And the way you used Going comando's intro sound as a teaser for the next video MWAH (chef's kiss). Good job

This animation is great. I even felt the fear of hitting the water from the Sharkigators. I also love your usage of memes and speedrunning references.

I don't understand how this doesn't have more views. I've rewatched this 4 or so times in the past week. Awesome homage to 1 of my favorite childhood games. Can't wait for part 2

This animation is perfect. I love all the references to the original trailers (which had a similar art style) and the timing of the music is impeccable. I've never subscribed to a channel so quickly and assuredly.

I love the fact that you put all the sound effects of the game!! Happy 20th to my favourite franchise!

The way this is animated just oozes a certain charm that I just love. Please do the other PS2 games in the series and keep up the good work!

I can't believe how well done this is, from start to finish. Amazing job!

2:17 clank vibing to the music is great

"Now THIS is cool" -Ratchet, 2002

Well done Nicholas, this was cute and hilarious at the same time.👍

I love the small references throughout the video like the speedrunning strat, the taunter bolt glitch at the hoverboard racetrack, etc. 😂

Love all the references to the speedrunning of R&C1, nice job!

Thank goodness for that Tesla Claw in the final battle against Chairmen Drek. When it comes to final bosses in Ratchet and Clank. Drek is the hardest. Though, it might be a tie with Dr. Nefarious in Up Your Arsenal. Especially if you play Challenge Mode in Up Your Arsenal and Nefarious pulls an Ultron upgrade on you.

this is awsome i love how bombastic and fun the animation is its also really funny well done nick and happy 20th anniversery to ratchet and clank

Love it, nice you included some speedrunning strat👌

Dude every detail of this is perfect, please do going commando 👏

Man ratchet and clank are my favorite video games ever since the very 1st one came out

The humor and audio clips of this are on point! Love to see more of ratchet and clank from you my dude!

1:03 Oh my goodness gracious it's ratchet from the commercial

8:50 this gag was brilliant!

Ah, I love a good throwback to Ratchet and Clank. Loved the expressions and animation of this. Thank you for making it.

This feels like a classic New grounds animation from the 2000s

This is work of art for a nostalgic ps2 game

8:19 i actually just replayed the planets again and again to gain bolts, like it was intended.

Happy 20 years of planet travel and blowing stuff up!

0:12 Him smacking away with the wrench.

This video and ratchet and clank games are so much nostalgia.

OMG!😂😂 This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while! Lmao!🤣🤣 And I also liked the tiny little references you put in there, like the animation from the PS2 commercial for this game and Among us, lol😂😂 Great job on this animation, and Happy 20th Anniversary to Ratchet and Clank!!!🥳🥳🥳

It's almost 100% accurate. The "nerdy scientist" and the tropical planet are missing. Also, no Ratchet&Clank banter. They argued a lot in this game after all.

Just Best Game Ever : - Gameplay A+ - Ost A+++++ Etc. Ratchet and clank are the PlayStation's face forever Nice video and happy birthday to the licence yeah !!!!

I can say with 100% certainty that this video is at least 42% accurate. 😎 I love all the Easter eggs! Like at 1:03 is a still from a 2D animated Ad for the original game. (And after watching the whole video, there are several of these sprinkled throughout) 2:19 Clank Vibing to Black Water’s awesome soundtrack. And that’s where I end my list because there were too many good moments to list. But I also enjoyed your own references to your earlier animations. Liked the knod to speed running techniques. At the very least we still got to see Gemlik Base. I also loved the look of dread on Ratchet’s face reflective of the soundtrack and atmosphere this place gives out. Fantastic way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first game and the series as a whole. Here’s to the next one, whenever that may be!

Nice! Been waiting to watch this Im from the insomniac discord

I'm not going ti lie, I don't really lnow what Rachet and Clank is, (well, I know that its a game but I haven't played it before), but I watched this because I love all of your animations, and you did not disappoint! Great job Nicholas! This was hilarious! 🤣

Deadlocked was my first Ratchet & Clank game

How cute how rachet designed with this style

ratchet and clank going commando in a nutshell next year lol

I hate that I didn’t grow up with RaC but I had the opportunity to play through the series and I’m glad to experience these games. The ost in RaC had my mind blown. This video is a cinematic masterpiece. love the art style and memes.

Happy 20th anniversary of Ratchet & Clank!

This was so well done. Happy 20th anniversary

For a minute I thought you would be covering all the games in the series thus far but the first game is still good overall.

Fun fact: Kevin Michael Richardson and Mikey Kelley would later voice in the 2007 animated TMNT movie, directed by Kevin Munroe, who would later direct the Ratchet & Clank movie.

This is so TerminalMontage,i love it!

I like the casual bee movie reference “you like jazz” in it XD Great job on the animation! It’s so SMOOTH! AND DETAILED! Did you draw it frame per frame or did you tween it?

Love the goofy sounds💀❤❤

This is a masterpiece. Best 9 minutes and 36 seconds of my entire year so far. Enjoyed every single bit of it. Loved the references to every kid's thought we definetly had when playing R&C. Speedrun skips included too, that makes the difference between average R&C fans and R&C enjoyers. Very subtle, yet mandatory detail to use the soundtrack playlist according to every map. Ultimately, I didn't expect myself to enjoy the W I D E C L A N K meme as much but I did. This deserves so much love and I hope you're receiving it. PS: Had to watch it twice because I didn't notice the subtitles had extra references. So that makes the best 19 minutes and 12 seconds of my year.

Brilliant vid - don't know how it's only on 29k views, it deserves was more, perfect blend of humour, references to speedrunning, snappy edits, and music nostalgia.

This feels like a old flash toon which is awesome

Wonderful! Reminds me of classic Newgrounds!

Looking forward to the animations of the following R&C games :D

Should’ve commented this before but I love the reference to the Rixar’s poki skip video!👌

just wow, so much nostalgia Amazing work!!!

I've watched this multiple times. Really looking foreword to Going Commando.

IDK why this has so little views this is dope af

2:04 its hard to tell but that ship is the Invincible or Invisible Hand and is a Providence class Carrier/Destroyer from Star Wars.

Absolutely loved this, tysm for making it and sharing it!

Really nice animation!

Happy 20 Years of ripping enemies a new one.

This is really long in a good way for a parody! Really good especially with the homages the the animated ps2 ad. Also what software do you use to animate with again?

Love this. Fantastic job. So nostalgic.

Absolutely incredible, i loved everything about this. And i really love the acknowledgment you have to the speed running community lol

1:55 *Ratchet Amogus reference* 5:20 Ratchet & Clank: Size matters refference? (Fire helmet? not really sure but it's similar) 8:10 *Jak and Daxter refference* (in general Failed Objective)

Amazing work, true dedication

Damnnn, really good stuff man, thanks for the awesome video

This is was amazing, thank you so much and Happy 20th Anniversary

Brooo I really loved all the speedruning reference you put in this video that was so nice haha

2:18 Clank being my soul animal.

this was incredible!!! gonna watch another 10 times

Going back for the ryno is probably the best bit.

Good Job

1:04 I understood that reference

Man the umbris glitch part. Brilliant

Best video I ever seen, thank you!!!

i love that this has the feeling of a newgrounds animation, i thought it was until the amongus ngl. and i lost it at the pokey skip part. 10/10

I genuinely thought this was an old flash animation Until... amoongus

YEP that's more or less how it was lol Seriously though, awesome animation! I have to second the others saying how it feels like an early 2000s web cartoon that were all the rage back in the day so I really mean that as a compliment :) But yeah, big fan of the OG 2002 R&C game and I always get super nostalgic when I see it or things that reference it

1:09 you even included the infamous decoy glitch

awesome work

This was so good!
