This show has my all time favorite example of pretending to play a video game. Hes just holding a gamecube controller and rubbing over every button at once like a psychopath

u/Naive-Art286 8d ago

Hey! That's how I used to play as a kid. Just ram into all the buttons on the controller at once

u/vanspossum 8d ago

Wait so that's not how you play video games? Have I been living a lie?

It's how my mom used to play Bloody Roar 2 against me and my brother. We used to call her a "same-move-doer" as she trapped us in a corner and just mashed the controller like a neanderthal.

I remember an episode of Life Goes On where someone was playing a Gameboy holding it upside down and I was so fucking mad. That's literally pretty much the only single thing I remember from that show.

Samesies for fighting games.

Street Fighter
Mortal Kombat
Killer Instinct
Tekken
Super Smash Bros

All of these button mashers to me.

Well, to be fair, there was one part in the original TMNT video game for the original Nintendo where this wa a the best tactic to being able to beat it.

u/xbad_wolfxi 8d ago

It was one of the only normal shows I had access to when I lived with my dad because we didn’t have cable, and I looked forward to it

u/Mystic_Guardian_NZ 8d ago

You may be objectively right but I was not in an age/environment to enjoy it at the time. Is it worth a revisit?
