That was one of Percy's most iconic moments only topped by sending medusa's head to Olympus and basically telling the god's to pay their fricking child support. Edit: Dang I can't believe this blew up like this
He said: nope don’t need no immortality, how about you stop sitting on your @sses and pay your fricken child support. Also just be better parents in general.
It reminds me of when he was reading the prophecy for the first time and he misreads a word and Annabeth corrects him and then tells him the definition and he goes “I know what it means”
@thetrue5g If you liked Percy Jackson, you'll definitely like Magnus Chase too. It's another series by Uncle Rick, about Norse mythology (Thor, Loki etc.)
@@yaellevi5448this happens in the second Percy Jackson movie… Edit: Alright guys I get it, the movies don’t exist and I apologize for thinking that they ever did.
not exactly the same thing because percy was believed to be dead while magnus actually died and came back as an einherjar, but yes pretty much did very similar things with the exception that he came to his like open casket thing i forgot what its called, while percy just came to them burning an empty casket. Poor Annabeth had to witness both
One of my personal fav moments is Rachel just throwing a blue plastic hairbrush at the eye of Kronos, the literal fking titan who fathered all the gods like icon???
Don't forget that that was JUST after he'd taken over Luke's body and come back with almost full strength of a God. Imagine if Voldemort JUST came back and someone just threw a hairbrush at him and it actually briefly incapacitated him.
One of the most unhinged moments in Percy Jackson is when Annabeth's dad just shows up out of nowhere in a plane with monster killing guns and was just like yeah I melted down some of your weapons so now I can murder things
Atlas better be grateful Fred Chase wasn't into WWII aircraft. Imagine if he'd pulled up to Mount Tam with a P-47 Thunderbolt, blazing away with eight 50cal machine guns firing 700 rounds of celestial bronze per minute.
That is wild to me as a millennial who got nothing more than “There’s no need to call me sir, professor.” Damn bringing guns to a rock paper scissors. What’s next? Bringing a flamethrower to a thumb war? 💀
it was written for rick riordans son, who wouldve been on the cusp of older gen z/millenial i think both generations can relate to the unhinged dumbfuckery@@tidela4714
@@crazycavalier Broheim, it follows the same people. If Percy remained a McGuffin, or if he and Annabeth were on a separate quest I'd agree, but no. The name on the book might change but it's the same story, same series.
That scene made me cry and I was like 19 when I read it. Call it what you will, but Percy and Annabeth are seriously an amazing Friends to Lovers couple and a battle couple. They are legit a blueprint for some of my favorite other couples in stories (Jake and Amy from Brooklyn 99 and Garrus/Fem!Shep from Mass Effect). Chaotic and Iconic 🫡😭🫡
@@caltheuntitled8021 pretty sure it's a short story set in the fifth book, but not actually in the book? I don't know where you can read it instead but that's what I remember
Just wait until you meet Leo, the man who in order to escape the three pairs of couples on the ship went down into a corner the engine room where no one could see him on the regular to just make loud noises to piss them off
Rick riordan explained briares moves so well "A tidal wave of paper" "A mountain of rocks" "An army of scissor" Then percy just pulls out the Americainator 4000
Paul's introduction to the family is just one of the cutest things. Percy's family is super wholesome, no wonder all demigods (and even some gods...) go after them for protection and comfort.
@@heyitsmira17LMAO I forgot how much he fit in with their craziness 😂 didn't he rock up to the battle of Manhattan with a sword? Lol and he was chill with Tyson
@@flamingarbre1284 yup, and he can't see through the mist, so he was fighting blindly with Sally's tips as his only guide, just bc he really wanted to help. Gotta love Paul, he's adorable
The PJO books are crazy unhinged but an underrated part is when Percy cries on national TV about missing his step father then he goes home and his mother murders said step father so do that one
My dude at the age of 11 sent his mom medusa's head to make abusive husband garden statues. Hes a king. Btw, all the love to Sally, for selling said statues for a butt ton of money.
I cant really say that Sally is god-tier because we have actual gods and alot of them suck. But Sally is literally the pinnacle of all existence, best person and mom ever.
Let’s be honest the battle of the labyrinth was the most unhinged book in the series, either that or the last Olympian they are both very unhinged and that is why they are the best books in the series.
The line "I can't believe that worked" can be applied to how most people in the Percy Jackson series solve problems. Heck, it's even in Rick Riordan's other series, which take place in the same universe but with other mythologies. Like the Kane Chronicles and Magnus Chase.
@@thebeavpercabethftw9604 Slices his head clean off _(I lifted the sword. Crysty stopped making deals.),_ and afterwards his smartass jokingly remarks to Annabeth and Grover (they'd been strapped to two of Prokroustes' beds, slowly getting stretched) that, "You look taller".
You know what's _more_ unhinged than Percy Jackson? The chapter titles in Magnus Chase Like seriously one was : "I faint more times than Jason Grace (even though I have no idea who he is)"
The fact that PJO, The Kane Chronicles, and Heroes of Olympus ALL take place in the same universe (with SEVERAL cross-overs where the main characters meet each other and even more nods at things like one of the kids at Brooklyn House in Kane Chronicles also attending Camp Half-Blood)... Rick Riordan is SO chaotic and amazing for that.
I totally forgot that was a scene in the book. the most memorable scene I can remember was when Percy and his half brother took out a bunch of Canadian Cannibal giants in deadly dodgeball.
God Leo is the only reason i continued to read the heroes of Olympus first book. Jason and Piper are boring af. Of Percy didn't reappear in the second book, i would've dropped it.
@chixkgoddess8499 I know! Like a sneak preview for Lost Hero was at the end of my copy of TLO and I was like, who the hell is Jason? Then the preview ended with "Her boyfriend, a guy named Percy Jackson" and I was like; WHAT HAPPENED TO PERCY?! I NEED TO KNOW!!! So I bought the Last Hero
My favorite moment of Percy Jackson is him screaming "I'm fine" while being chased Or when Nico is asking him a ton o question after Anabeth jumped to save him
I JUST READ THAT BIT A FEW MINUTES AGO BC IM RERE READING THE SERIES He went on asking questions. Did I fight a lot with Thalia, since she was a daughter of Zeus? (I didn’t answer that one.) If Annabeth’s mother was Athena, the goddess of wisdom, then why didn’t Annabeth know better than to fall off a cliff? (I tried not to strangle Nico for asking that one.) Was Annabeth my girlfriend? (At this point, I was ready to stick the kid in a meat-flavored sack and throw him to the wolves.)
Great video! I forgot how wonderfully unhinged those books could get. Some other insane moments you could show: Percy sending Medusa’s head to Olympus via holy USPS Percy channeling his inner salesman at the Waterbed store Killing the murder pigeons with jazz music (followed by my favorite line, “go chase a doughnut”) Percy getting Guinea Pigg’d The Stoll brothers committing bioterrorism against the Hunters of Artemis (centaur blood) Murdering the Nemean Lion with Astronaut Ice Cream™️ Etc. Etc. And don’t get me started on the Hero of Olympus! Leo Valdez could be a whole series on his own…
The waterbed scene was so unhinged. Like if Percy wasn’t on a time limit he totally would’ve been down on slowly torturing the monster to death by amputation.
As a kid who grew up with a dad that loved playing Rat Pack music and grew to enjoy it myself, im still baffled that it took dean martin to take out the stygian birds. And leaves me with this question- would it have worked with sammy or frank too?
I loved the magnus chase chapter titles “I pass out more than jason grace (even though I have no idea who that is)” is one of my favorites Along with “come to the dark side, we have poptarts”
@@ur_leastfave_brunette that's a good one but what about the scene where Magnus is like Hey can you turn into something Ok like what? I don't know like a pen? A pen sword WHAT KIND OF AN IDIOT WOULD HAVE A PEN SWORD
one of my favorite parts has got to be when they're trying to get into the underworld, and they're like 'oh yeah, we drowned in the bathtub. all three of us.' and also the part earlier in the lightning thief when they show up at aunty em's garden emporium or whatever it's called and say they're part of a circus. they're just a bunch of dumb twelve year olds who can't come up with excuses to save their lives and i live for it
The one that lives rent-free in my head is Percy's inner monologue about seeing faces in Hades' robes during their first meeting, and what you had to do in life to be sewn into Hades underwear as punishment. Their's even a minor callback to it in TLO where he takes Hades' discarded robes and tosses them into the River Styx where they dissolve.
“None of you prepared me” no no that was the point! You have to experience Percy (and Rick) at full CHAOS levels like the rest of us did! Definitely one of my earliest memories of peril and hilarity combined into one 😂😂😂 the chapter titles are always the best and I wish we got them in HoO
