I really appreciate Glass Joe in this. The stereotype most associated with the french is cowardice, but Glass Joe is anything but a coward. He bravely and proudly fights despite losing 99 times with only 1 win. He's honestly inspiring to me. Keep on fighting Glass Joe.
Possibly another for Soda Popinski is that in his major circuit fight is that his uniform significantly has the color red which could be twisted into a reference to the USSR
His name was changed mainly due to Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" War on Drugs campaign back in the 80s. Nintendo was afraid of appearing to promote alcoholism but kept his classic lines like "I can't drive, so I'll walk all over you" and "I drink to prepare for a fight. Tonight I am very prepared" in the NES version
Don't forget that the manga Piston Hondo is reading is specifically a page from Sailor Moon, which the developers snuck in as a joke but did NOT get permission for, and resulted in some very nasty reactions from the manga's rights holder.
For some reason, RUclips keeps recommending Punch-Out vids ever since I watched vids on how to beat some of the boxers and videos about its speedrunning history. I am honestly surprised that some of the videos RUclips keeps recommending me about Punch-Out are recent and have thousands of views...

There are actual Irish people in this comment thread and I'm legitimately afraid to address them directly. I would say more, perhaps even genuine compliments but I am convinced if I do so the entire country will uproot itself from the land, walk over to America, and punch it into smithereens. And since I live in Florida, which is effectively America's penis, I don't want to instigate anything. I am sure with this comment alone I have made several thousand enemies for life.
There is ONE stereotype from Mr. Sandman. Note his aggressive demeanor, as well as his disregard for others' property. This is a common stereotype of his people; Philadelphians.
There's also one notable stereotype that was missed. Mr. Sandman is strongly associated with the number 13, which is often depicted as a bad luck number.
You neglected to address a couple of stereotypes revolving around Don Flamenco and his Spanish heritage. His given name “Don” is the an honorific prefix that is used to show respect to a man in Spanish, while his surname is based on the flamenco, the traditional Spanish dance. And the song used for his intro cutscenes is taken from the opera Carmen, which is set in southern Spain.
I'm surprised there was no mention of the fact that Soda Popinski's soda was engineered for enhancing performance, a nod to when Russian boxers were caught using steroids.
Please Note: American (A) (Disco Kid) only has 1, using Disco as a broad umbrella. It would be very hard to post just how many references there are otherwise!
@@MoskusMoskiferus1611what? Not supporting the invasion of iraq? Or calling France cowards because they didn't wanna help imperialistic uncle sam get his oil?

Aran Ryan is likely also a Traveler. They are way more aggressive and temperamental than the average Irish person. They also have a bit of a boxing history with them.
right? theyre done in a respectful, light hearted manner. punch out has so much cultural appreciation alongside these stereotypes, like hiring voice actors from the boxer’s countries to make the boxers speak their native language. as someone who’s turkish. it fills me with so much joy to see bald bull speak turkish and be able to understand him.
I thought about that but wasn't sure if it was a Russian stereotype specifically. I heard that the Soviet Union was one of the first countries to use doping in professional sports, though.
That's more true for the title defense bout, where Soda Popinski ditches his typical soda for power-enhancing elixirs. In fact, those very elixirs can even be a reference to steroids, which are illegal in just about every sport in the world.
Also, the manga the Japanese guy was holding is actually a Sailor Moon manga, and I think that led to some legal issues for the game. Also, the reason why there's a French and Canadian guy is because the team for Punch-out is in Canada whose official languages are English and French. Also, the first Punch-out game for the NES, featured Soda Popinski as Vodka Drunkinski. But in Super Punch-out and onward, his name was changed to avoid further controversy, since alcohol in games is often frowned upon. Despite that, Soda Popinski does get pissy after drinking soda, could be alcoholic soda.
The reddish skin for Soda Popsniki is also a possible reference to the term "pinko" used to describe Russian Communists during the cold War For Bald Bull he also is seen in a bathhouse in his intro, and Turkey does have many stylish bathhouses
Fun Fact: The music heard in Piston Hondo's introduction in 3:30 is a traditional folk song that dates back to the Edo Period with it's title being, "Sakura Sakura"
@@giantpinkcatno, aladin is very much a middle eastern movie. Great Tiger is very much a middle eastern character. I have no clue why he's labled indian here
You didn’t mention Don Flamenco’s theme also being stereotypical: it’s the theme from Carmen, a classic opera which depicts a Spanish setting (despite the composer being French). I believe Piston Hondo’s theme is also based on a Japanese folk tune but do not have the knowledge to verify.
There are Jamaican and British boxers in Super Punch-Out. One is just a Bob Marley expy and the other is a narcissistic rich British kid going to some cushy Ivy-leauge school as an athlete. When he gets mad, his speech slips from the Queen's English to working class Londoner slang with a transcribed Cockney accent. This is kind of interesting, since it implies that he, like a lot of British people, actually speaks with that accent naturally and puts on his more "proper" mannerisms in order to fit in with British society.
I bet for those you've mentioned, Brazilian would be stereotyped as a footballer, a Texan would be a guy in his 50s with a moustache and a cowboy hat, and an Australian wearing an Australian hat and drinking beer. I couldn't think of one for Las Vegas.
@@whitescreen493 Boxer from Vegas would have sparkling shorts or speedo, has a pet white tiger as its trainer, and placing all its gambling chips on himself
Not to mention it was made in Canada, and the Canadian representative, while not having the most, does have some of the most glaring (chugging maple syrup in the corner, being friends with a bear, saying "eh", etc)
As a spanish person, I wish I was a 50% of romantic and stylish as Don Flamenco is 😂 Also want to say we usually hear his VA on tv pretty often! On the Simpsons for example
5:00 He also wears pants made from white tiger fur, a reference to India being the home of white tigers ( in fact it is not a separate species, but a mutation that is passed on by inheritance )
I unironically love Aran's insane step-dance... It feels like he just starts doing it as a stim, but then emotions overwhelm him and he switches to simply jumping.
Never heard this game, but its been in my reccomended, some extra stuff i noticed: German -its cool that hes portrayed as millitaristic/imperial Prussian instead of the boring pseudo-Bavarian -i think he says he is a Battle machine -kaiser mustache Indian -he says he is "Sher Singh" which means Lion Lion (farsi word+ sanskrit word) which is both ridiculous and cool -had no idea Mehndi made yhe them -glad this one is more controlled and respectable than usual indian stereotypes.
I’m so surprised this video is only 3 days old, is great to still see videos about this already decade-old game, hopefully, Nintendo realizes, just like they did with other games recently, and makes a new Punch-out game.
Some other stereotypes I saw for Piston Hondo. Most obvious that its almost not worth mentioning, his name was originally Piston Honda as in the Japanese brand of cars. Japan has been in the top 3 in auto manufacturing since the 60's. The background music in his cutscene is the song Sakura Sakura, a traditional song that is considered very stereotypical. Not sure if this is really a stereotype but his hachimaki (headband) says "ichiban" which means number 1. I've seen this exact hachimaki in a lot of tourist places in Japan and even some Japanese grocery stores in the US.
Not sure if this would really be considered, but somewhat similarly to Aran Ryan having a lot of 7s going around him, Piston Hond(a/o) has a focus number of 4, which is one of Japan's unlucky numbers, with one of the ways to say it (Shi) being similar to their word for death. (The other big unlucky number being 9, with it also being similarly spoken as something unpleasant, but that's not as prominent.)
In particular with Piston Hondo's fight, when he bows to Little Mac in the actual fight, he looks up at him. This is done as a sly form of disrespect to the person you are bowing to, as you're not normally supposed to look at the person when you bow out of respect.
Another thing that you forgot to mention in the spanish stereotypes is that in Don Flamenco's theme we can hear a typical percussion spanish instrument named "Castañuelas"
4:27 - Wait. The Daler Mehndi references (the spirits thing in his Title Defense rematch, for example) weren't just intentional, but Daler Mehndi, _himself,_ contributed to Great Tiger's revisions and presentation?! Whoa…
Wait... this gave me an idea for a new Punch Out challenge. Play through Contender mode (Glass Joe through Mr. Sandman), but every time a national stereotype appears, take a shot of your favorite alcoholic beverage. Hopefully you don't become too drunk to be unable to beat Mr. Sandman...
While Mr. Sandman does share some charactaristics from Mike Tyson from the original Mike Tyson's Punchout!!, He is mostly based off of Muhammad Ali. But oddly also has a lot of references to the number 13.
Surprised that no mention goes to Piston Hondo's theme, which is an arrangement of the Japanese folk song "Sakura" (its name ALSO being a reference to sakura, aka, cherry blossom, another thing commonly associated with Japan). Similarly, also surprised there's no mention of Don Flamenco's theme, which is an arrangement of a famous section of the Toreador March that's used on the opera Carmen (despite both pieces being French, these are intrinsically connected to Don Flamenco and Spain; toreadors are bullfighters, and Carmen is a Spanish feminine name (and the name of Don's supposed girlfriend))
Piston Honda's theme is also a reference to "Kagome Kagome", a very famous Japanese children song. It's so popular to the point regarded as THAT ONE JAPANESE MUSIC. For example, in Genshin Impact, entire music motifs of Inazuma and Raiden Shogun is many remixes of this famous melody.

Another stereotype for Von Kaiser is that when you KO him you can hear bullets passing by and he once again stands at attention before going down.
Another for Piston Hondo is that you can hear a faint gong at the beginning of the fight
Don Flamenco’s theme is a famous Spanish song called March of the Toreadors or just Les Toreadors.
Another for Aran Ryan is that his gym is filled with the color green, which is sort of a stereotype in a stereotype.
Possibly another for Soda Popinski is that in his major circuit fight is that his uniform significantly has the color red which could be twisted into a reference to the USSR
Yet another for Don Flamenco is his use of the rose which is a tradition in bull fighting.

"Do you have squirrels in Canada?"
"This is how you get to school"
Hell yeah
Also kind of fits because brent is Canadian
(Also nick is not Canadian stop complaining)
LESGOOOO PARTY CRASHERS NATION‼️‼️‼️‼️
PARTY CRASHER REFERENCE LETS GOOO 🗣🗣
Also, Piston Hondo's fight has a few references to the number 4, which is considered unlucky in Japanese culture.
Never heard this game, but its been in my reccomended, some extra stuff i noticed:
German
-its cool that hes portrayed as millitaristic/imperial Prussian instead of the boring pseudo-Bavarian
-i think he says he is a Battle machine
-kaiser mustache
Indian
-he says he is "Sher Singh" which means Lion Lion (farsi word+ sanskrit word) which is both ridiculous and cool
-had no idea Mehndi made yhe them
-glad this one is more controlled and respectable than usual indian stereotypes.
Nah, but why is Glass Joe looking fine in that turtle neck dawg?
😂 the Indian guy shaking his head is the absolute most hilarious I didn’t expect them to all in on that aspect
Man, this game just came back out of nowhere
5:56 looks more like a chestnut color than red..
But in his intros aran ryan's hair is red
There’s also an unintentional stereotype of doping with Soda Popinski due to the Russian Olympic doping scandal that happened some years later.
The Soviets were the first to use steroids in their competitions in the 1950s
0:30 IT'S RAINING CROISSANTS
From out of the sky
BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES
FROM OUT OF THE SKY
@@RebellReeb hailing baguettes-o-sis, hailing baguette-o's
Disco Kid and Aran Ryan are the only characters in Punch-Out!! Wii to not be referenced in Super Smash Bros. in some way.
That isnt fair. Bear Hugger gets referenced but not Disco or Aran?
@@waikeonglim7703 That's right.
@@ethanchannel153to be fair bear hugger appeared a little bit more than those two
So... Absolutely nothing about how fruity Disco Kid is?
Modern stereotype.😂
Northern Americans.
I guess it's not a stereotype if it's common.
Can't risk it on RUclips... But 20 years ago, the American would've been depicted as a cooler and more laid-back version of the German stereotype lol
When the English teacher pauses the movie every so often
3:16 i just realized DK is in the background
How sweet! Donkey Kong is one of Japan's national cartoon mascots
2:20 is it offensive that I laughed at that fact?
Nah it’s true asf here in Hawaii 😂 polynesians here big af
Why? Is true lol
@@Bricks701Spam is the reason
Morbidly obese.
Yes. You're going to hell. Reported, blocked, tweeted about. Reported again. You are disgraceful
I’m so surprised this video is only 3 days old, is great to still see videos about this already decade-old game, hopefully, Nintendo realizes, just like they did with other games recently, and makes a new Punch-out game.
Some other stereotypes I saw for Piston Hondo.
Most obvious that its almost not worth mentioning, his name was originally Piston Honda as in the Japanese brand of cars. Japan has been in the top 3 in auto manufacturing since the 60's.
The background music in his cutscene is the song Sakura Sakura, a traditional song that is considered very stereotypical.
Not sure if this is really a stereotype but his hachimaki (headband) says "ichiban" which means number 1. I've seen this exact hachimaki in a lot of tourist places in Japan and even some Japanese grocery stores in the US.
Looks like the devs studied a lot of the culture of each country so they can make accurate jokes lmao
It's the most basic stereotypes that everyone knows....
the Great Tiger place is named Taj Mahal in India, this place is very famous and holy place for Indian people
Spanish stereotypes then: Bullfighting, romantic and vanity.
Spanish stereotypes now: Gaming youtubers and streamers.
And civilwars
Not sure if this would really be considered, but somewhat similarly to Aran Ryan having a lot of 7s going around him, Piston Hond(a/o) has a focus number of 4, which is one of Japan's unlucky numbers, with one of the ways to say it (Shi) being similar to their word for death. (The other big unlucky number being 9, with it also being similarly spoken as something unpleasant, but that's not as prominent.)
Spain always get away with good stereotypes somehow
I honestly had no idea that Donkey Kong was in the audience this entire time
2:13 Truly one of the sickest beats
In particular with Piston Hondo's fight, when he bows to Little Mac in the actual fight, he looks up at him. This is done as a sly form of disrespect to the person you are bowing to, as you're not normally supposed to look at the person when you bow out of respect.
3:13 I just noticed that Donkey Kong is in the crowd. (He’s in the far left)
So Aran Ryan not only has the most infractions, he also has the most stereotypes.
Another thing that you forgot to mention in the spanish stereotypes is that in Don Flamenco's theme we can hear a typical percussion spanish instrument named "Castañuelas"
4:27 - Wait. The Daler Mehndi references (the spirits thing in his Title Defense rematch, for example) weren't just intentional, but Daler Mehndi, _himself,_ contributed to Great Tiger's revisions and presentation?! Whoa…
4:49 the sound of it feels weird yet suitable for him
5:52 it would have been funny if screaming like a madman was an Irish stereotype
Wait... this gave me an idea for a new Punch Out challenge.
Play through Contender mode (Glass Joe through Mr. Sandman), but every time a national stereotype appears, take a shot of your favorite alcoholic beverage. Hopefully you don't become too drunk to be unable to beat Mr. Sandman...
What a game full of stereotypes, I love it 😁
Despite having so many stereotypes, the Punch Out characters have a lot of personality
While Mr. Sandman does share some charactaristics from Mike Tyson from the original Mike Tyson's Punchout!!, He is mostly based off of Muhammad Ali. But oddly also has a lot of references to the number 13.
Its cool how TD sandman is based entirely on the Mike Tyson fight on NES. Fast hard hitting hooks and overheads and the winking.
The Kong one really offended me
5:26
Bullfighting ❌
Bull-flying ✅
Surprised that no mention goes to Piston Hondo's theme, which is an arrangement of the Japanese folk song "Sakura" (its name ALSO being a reference to sakura, aka, cherry blossom, another thing commonly associated with Japan).
Similarly, also surprised there's no mention of Don Flamenco's theme, which is an arrangement of a famous section of the Toreador March that's used on the opera Carmen (despite both pieces being French, these are intrinsically connected to Don Flamenco and Spain; toreadors are bullfighters, and Carmen is a Spanish feminine name (and the name of Don's supposed girlfriend))
Ого- они все говорят на своём родном языке? Похвально для игровой студии!
I’m French and German, THE FIRST 2! Also Canadian. I was born in Canada and Continue to live in Canada
Cool! I’m Canadian and Turkish, I’m surprised there weren’t more stereotype for Bald Bull
@@e6026 I’ve heard steriotypical Turkish music
Man I'd kill for another punch out game, the sheer absurdity of these stereotypes turned into characters was just so perfect.
7:23 i expected him wearing an ushanka 😔
Piston Honda's theme is also a reference to "Kagome Kagome", a very famous Japanese children song. It's so popular to the point regarded as THAT ONE JAPANESE MUSIC.
For example, in Genshin Impact, entire music motifs of Inazuma and Raiden Shogun is many remixes of this famous melody.
Nintendo on Japan: respectful and wise
Nintendo on Canada: fat
The developers were mostly Canadian, so... they now 🤷♂️
