The "Who's on first. What's on second." is a reference to a 'klassic' sketch from the black and white era of television. Most of it still holds up today.
"Who's on First" is one of the best writen early comedy sketches ever put on film and many have failed just trying to do it without laughing themselves.
I love Kelly Ann Hu as Li Mei! She did an excellent job as D’vorah too! I remember way back when I first found out about her as Suki Toyama in Command and Conquer Red Alert 3!
The cold in space was a star trek reference but the "space" line delivery was probably triggering the meme synapse part of the brain. There is a legendary meme clip of Tim Curry playing a russian ranting about going to S P A C E.
its is from kahn from original star strek he say to kirk "Revenge is a dish best serve cold" according to klidge race and then follow up by "its very cold in space"
6:26 It's a reference to Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan. The quote is: "Ah Kirk, my old friend. Do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold? It is very cold in space."
0:48 The reference to the Santa Clarita diet is to a comedy show of the same name, which is about a virus that turns you into a sentient zombie, but to maintain that awareness you need a diet based on human flesh... So Johnny Cage indicates that his diet is based on "human flesh😉" (and the Santa Clarita thing is because the series takes place in Santa Clarita CA)
I’m liking the back and forth sorta "flirting" from Johnny and Kitana. Ever since these voice lines released I have seen tons of ppl saying Johnny and Kitana are the "new era timeline" ship😂…I’m kinda here for it tho👀
Who's on first what's on second is a bit by comedians Abbott and Costello based on a confusion when talking about baseball. The "it is very cold in space" is a line from Star Trek wrath of kahn where the Kahn uses both lines back to back
5:34 The "who's on first?" is a reference to Abbott and Costello. The joke basically is: Who's on first What's on second ("Who" and "What" being names and not interrogative pronouns, somewhat similar to the horse named Friday)
Not sure what surprised me more: that the Abbott and Costello "who's on first?" reference went unrecognized, or the Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan "it is very cold... in space" reference did as well.
Is there more for the other characters interactions? If so then please react to those! I would love to see what others are saying to each other. Also some of the ones you don't understand might be story mode related which we won't know since we haven't seen the story yet.
Man, you didn't get the who is on second reference? Go, search for "who's on first" Abbot and Costello. Your life can't be complete until you watch that.
NOOOOOOOO!!! 😂😂😂 the Russian accent when he says "SPACE" is a Red Alert 3 reference, they used real actors for cutscenes and and Tim Curry had a blast , he's so hammy when he's the russian leader 😂😂😂😂
You missed a Kenshi/Johnny intro… Johnny - *If it isn’t Agent Takahashi of the F… B… I.* Kenshi - *It’s not funny anymore, Cage.* I would also like to point out that Achara is so cute.
They didn't recognize Johnny hitting Li Mei with the Abbott & Costello "Who's on First" routine. OR the Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan reference. I am disappoint...
I'm loving the intros so far! I didn't play with Johnny, so most of those were new to me (Li Mei's the best, though! I like how it seems like Johnny Cage has some respect for her, maybe because his mother was also a cop), and there's some really fun stuff there, as expected x) Also, yes, the intros are now used as a loading screen!
I hope they explore these other sides of him more. Flirting is funny and all, but if he flirts with eery woman on the roster, it will get tiring very quickly. @@wholethedogsout880
To be FAIR….this liu is from the 90s.he only restarted the timeline,he wasn’t responsible for future inventions that would come.he was busy actually doing something important
I mean Johnny will hit on anything that moves that's female so him hitting on Kitana doesn't necessarily mean Sonya and him don't get together. But I wouldn't be averse to a Cage/Kitana pairing. Have a feeling that Liu Kang would mind, tho.
Could you guys react to PNDK&M? Though you guys seem knowledgeable enough about MK's story (for the modern games), I'd love to see you guys grow more knowledgeable on the gameplay side. K&M cover primarily Mortal Kombat in a gameplay sense, their most popular series being MK: META and Competitive History. MK: META gets into the gameplay mechanics of a specific game in the franchise from the basics like controls to more specific stuff, and Competitive History goes into the gameplay history of a specific character, showing you how they evolve gameplay wise and how strong they were in different parts of their history. If you are going to go with my request, I suggest starting with MK: META as it will explain terminology used in Competitive History.
"Eet is very cold in space" was his spoofing Khan Noonien Singh in response to Sub Zero inadvertently quoting the first half of the reference ruclips.net/video/dQcQonPqs9Q/видео.html
Im sad you guys didn't get the Star Trek references : (, you guys need to react to some of those movies - I know it's not like everyone's clamouring for old star trek movie reactions, but they're classics, to the point that many - maybe even most of us - get those references

Abbott and Costello wasn’t it?
Yes.@@Dctctx
When I saw that intro for the first time, I was like, “Are half the players even gonna get that joke?”
(I’m 24 by the way)
Am I to suppose that it refers to people whose last names are Who and What respectively?
@@mettatonex7221 There are more like "when" and "how" but yes

One of Johnny's interactions with Smoke is a reference to "The Mask" starring Jim Carrey

Actually the "it is very cold in space" that Johnny says is a line from the movie Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan

Ok I may have to rewatch that movie (even if it is my least favorite in the series)
I know her best as Karai in TMNT 2012 and Windblade in Transformers RiD15
"Who's on first" is a classic comedy bit from Abbott & Costello, which you now owe us a reaction to, lol 😂
the best Abbott Costello movie is Abbott and Costello meet frankenstein the true monster universe movie

they should know it well from watching Kill Bill, that starts with that quote, and indeed explains it as _Klingon proverb_
Johnny Cage is the heart and soul of the MK franchise. The garbage that flows out unfiltered out of the character is pure gold and I'm all for it. 😂
Johnny Cage really rizzing up Kitana. It's both cool, weird and interesting I wonder if they actually might become a couple.
@CinePals......- what gift
Is really Possible, not to mention kitana's teddy bear in Johnny Cage's bed in Invasions mode
Johnny is So cool. International love song takes his coolness to A Whole another level

agreed
Honestly its either her or Li Mei, they both have good chemistry with Johnny
@@sonomni I honestly would prefer Kung Lao w/ Li Mei, especially since NRS ruined the whole ship w/ Jade that fans liked.
Wrath of Kahn for the space reference. Star Trek
it is very cold. lol
IN SPAAAAACE!!!!!!!
😂😂😂that's what I thought
My fave so far:
"Li, Mei I have this fight?"
"Ugh, that is criminal, Earthrealmer."
the best one
My favorite one isn't in this video:
Sub-Zero: You can't match my experience!
Johnny Cage: Hey! I'm not the Noob here.
🤣
LMAO
Who actually got that double meaning……?
@@casual769me 😂
Liu Kang: Spoilers, Johny Cage.

I'm in love with this version of Johnny allready🎉😂❤

this time Johnny will stay with Kitana, I want to see Liu Kang's reaction
Who's on first what's on second is a bit by comedians Abbott and Costello based on a confusion when talking about baseball. The "it is very cold in space" is a line from Star Trek wrath of kahn where the Kahn uses both lines back to back

7:01 maybe he's doing the Tim Curry SPACE!!

Aye someone got it ❤
"it is very cold in space" in a star trek reference
Who's on first, What's on second is a classic Abbott and Costello comedy skit from the 1930's about baseball.
Not sure what surprised me more: that the Abbott and Costello "who's on first?" reference went unrecognized, or the Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan "it is very cold... in space" reference did as well.
Is there more for the other characters interactions? If so then please react to those! I would love to see what others are saying to each other. Also some of the ones you don't understand might be story mode related which we won't know since we haven't seen the story yet.
1:08 the personality of johnny in story mode scenes and combat interactions are completely different personalities in my opinion
Yeah. All of these intro dialogues are literally just a loading screen. Which is awesome lol.
Man, you didn't get the who is on second reference? Go, search for "who's on first" Abbot and Costello. Your life can't be complete until you watch that.
This is the one ruclips.net/video/nZ5vspsNS1g/видео.html
You two may even want to make a reaction about that

I would also like to point out that Achara is so cute.
Sento intro with johnny now makes snese after the campaing, they are best friends
And yes achara johnny is a free agent like how he first was in the OG timeline before getting with sonya bc that's how he was to begin with.
They didn't recognize Johnny hitting Li Mei with the Abbott & Costello "Who's on First" routine. OR the Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan reference. I am disappoint...

yes i like how johnny isnt all hardcore flirty with her. like you said he clearly respects her and her work

"and in need of a breath mint" if Cage said that to syzoth then syzoth would spit at him cause of his acid spit
That Johnny Cage reference is from Star Trek
Santa Clarita diet was a zombie comedy series, it was actually a very good one,at least to me.
4:02 its more of a matter of when, they haven't met...yet. :D
"It is very cold in space" I believe that it's a Star Trek reference.
Kenshi calling out Johnny for his movies since MKX will never not be funny!
ok listen! Jaby specially you!, need to watch all Sindel intros in Mk11!!!
It is very cold in space - Star Trek II
Yea I call it bull on lui not knowing social media is also
To be FAIR….this liu is from the 90s.he only restarted the timeline,he wasn’t responsible for future inventions that would come.he was busy actually doing something important
@@brendaspence1824 Brenda girlie, FACTS!!!!! But people expect him to worry about that bullshit 🤣
4:08 Achara would make a great Mortal Kombat character with that line.
I honestly think he's only hitting on Kitana because they're a thing, she's flirting back in her own way.
johnny himself said they were both single and she keeps rejecting his flirting... theyre not together but they are friends
It is very cold in space is a quote from khan from one star trek thing
One of the Dialogues here was Kitana thanking Johnny Cage for showing her movies. Did they go on a movie date?
8:10 correct
Johnny Cage was referencing the movie Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn. It is a line said by the villain.
8:01 also johnny cage doesn’t have his green g-d invulnerability shade anymore?
Johnny x Kitana would be ahhhhhhhhsome👏
why didnt they put the smoke and johnny intros? those are just so cute and smoke fangirling is just *chefs kiss*
santa clarita diet: not vampires. drew berrymoore is a zombie
7:04 a quote from Star Trek Wrath of Khan movie..
Where are the spiderman's reactions 😩
I hope you do this with all of them when the game comes out
T H E T E A H O U S E
5:05 any thoughts on there being no difference between edenia and outworld in this timeline how were jerod and sindel king and queen of owtworld?
oh shlt it seems like cage is gonna bang kitana first than sonya what a chad
I think the space reference is liu kang doing his 2nd fatality on subzero in the keeper of time trailer 😂
the "in space" comment, wasn't that a reference to Tim Curry in a Command & Conquer game?
This interaction needs a third line...
you guys should react to Mortal Kombat 1 story mode first 17 minutes next
Johnny cage is the best 💚😆
You guys should play the beta!!
Do the Injustice 2 funny Intros too please…
do a React to his fatal blow and fatality too 👍🏼🔥its awesome and really funny

ok... you guys need some serious education in the classics.
Yeah
Revenge is a dish best served cold and it’s ver old in space is from Star Trek wrath of khan 🙂
T E A H O U S E 🗿🗿🗿
Watch the fatalities pls
What does EP’d mean
Executive produced (I’m guessing)
Do the reaction on all super move on injustice 2
