This is simultaneously a funnee joke AND a sick burn on the other commenters. You managed to mix comedy and serious social commentary together in one easily digestible package. The sheer depth of your intertextual linguistics mixed with the brazen use of renaissance inspirations is enough to impress even Chateau Roman'Blanc himself.

Many of you might not know this, but the Nintendo GameCube featured an ergonomic handle so that it made it easier to carry when you had to go to your dad's house for the weekend.
Even though Dunkey can makes us all laugh, he knows when to make serious videos that highlight important issues in the gaming community. It's so great of him to bring attention to the problems that the Game Cube is currently facing today. This is why he's one of the RUclipsrs.
@@Alienrun Get out of here dude, this isn't a laughing matter at all. Try to be serious for once in your life, if for nothing else than the security of the gaming industry!
I mean, Dunkey is the maker of the best dolphin documentary in the history of gaming and the best RUclips video of all time. I expected nothing less than pure integrity and professionalism.
Dunkey is getting bolder and taking a more mature, refined approach to his videos. No jokes and no dislikes. Could you have imagined this 24 years ago?
I love how Dunky can make all these meme and comedic videos but he isn’t afraid to go out on a limb and give us a serious video with a serious topic and he still just knocks it outa the park every time.
Dunkey bought like 5 GameCubes last year, he's single-handedly carrying the entire gaming industry from failing. What would us gamers do without you, you legend!
I will continue purchasing 5 gamecubes every year in my effort to halt the decline, thank you Dunkey for bringing much needed awareness to my struggle.
I remember when the GameCube first came out in 1975 I was only -18 years old but man the memories of blowing into that little hole in the disk to make the game work will never leave me.
Last night I was brought to tears while playing SSX Tricky asking myself this very question. Thank you for your truly groundbreaking research and reporting. I feel I may now sleep for the first time in years.
I’m really glad Dunkey is bringing attention to this issue. Us “cubers” as we like to call ourselves have been struggling for years. Hopefully a video like this will bring us hope for a bright future!
@@zanfear no but he say he was serious so its serious! This is why donkey cant be taken serious cuz the fanbase dont like change but change isnt always bad sometimes its good...ah this makes my heart hurt plz dont argue just listen to dunkey and everything will be ok i promise! :O
I know it's easy to use humor as a mask for all the difficult feelings we might encounter when talking about such a serious topic. Thank you dunkey for showing us it's okay to face this head on.
Little known fact about this episode: Dunkey voice acted every single video game character you see on the video, as well as the background music, as well as doing the voice acting for the narrator and then ALSO the news anchors. What an incredibly versatile voice actor.
Who can even afford to play games on it nowadays with so many shady resellers and hobby investors artificially inflating the prices of older used games
Absolutely incredible writing, story and acting from the dunkey team, as usual. Really loved how the story wrapped up at the end and we finally got some well needed closure to the question brought up in the thumbnail.
Woah-ho-ho-ho-ho, hold up folks! Mad props to the grand master of gaming critiques. He never falters in delivering bombs of killer insight before our very eyes. Who is this man you ask?? The one and only JonS, ladies and gentlemen. This man - the contemporary golden key of *true* gaming knowledge - delivered yet again a review so nuanced and intellectually tantalizing it was like a present being unwrapped for us: every layer revealing something completely incredible and unthinkable. This dude never fails to amaze us, and this latest review is no exception. Thanks for slaying once again, Jon! You really outdid yourself on this one, and we all thank you. p.s. Using a budding channel to give Jon a platform is a very commendable thing of Dunkey to do - he is a really great sport for that.
He dared say there was no M rated game on the gamecube and that Luigy's Mansion was the most scary game, do not give this man any credit, he doesn't even know Eternal Darkness exist.
@@radimk42 A slight exaggeration is no sarcasm, it is there to put emphasis on the statement. After all, a simple tweet asking the Gamecube best games would have made clear that "statement" of his is completely false, and he said everything to deserve to be corrected. Next time may I suggest saying "Maybe I missed some" or "This list is entirely subjective" or "This video is satirical in nature" somewhere in the video or description. It would work better than pretending I must be sarcastic in order to overlook such a mistake, as he double down on it multiple times in this video. So do you have anything real to say?
i hope this situation can be sorted out soon... it's difficult for me to talk about without tearing up, but you navigated this with elegance, Dunk. Thank you for bringing this the attention it deserves. Godspeed
I purchased a GameCube on a whim yesterday while I was buying carrots at my local staples because I saw them on clearance next to the snickers bars and I'm honestly pleasantly surprised. More people should know about them.
The game of basketball owes so much to the GameCube. LaBurn James absolutely transformed the game with his passing and physicality, not unlike the way Luigi's Mansion transformed horror gaming with its unfathomable levels of ghoul saturation. You did a great job of underscoring the ways the GameCube impacted our culture outside of gaming. So sad to see the end of an era, but the legend of the GameCube will live on!
Yea I would've been unaware otherwise! *Proceeds to not buy a single gamecube, contributing to the future downfall of the entirely gaming industry as we know it*
This. This video right here. This has carried me through some awful times in my 44 years of life, the most recent one being the loss of my grandfather a year ago and greedy family members coming in and taking everything and throwing away everything of sentimental value and hurting all of us, including my own children who had a strong relationship with their great-grandfather. Everytime I hear this video I yell to it loudly with a river of tears out of my eyes. I hope and pray dunkey has a long, prosperous lives and if you're ever close to Blount County, Tennessee, it would be an honor to meet y'all and have a jam session and feed y'all, even if all I can afford is PB&J sandwiches.
Burnout 2 was an integral part of my childhood and hearing dunky talk about the BEWWW when the game starts up was so unexpected and amazing at the same time
That picture of David Cross and Bob Odenkirk playing Super Smash Bros is something I didn't know I needed in my life. Thank you, VideoGameJonS, for bringing it to my attention.
I cannot believe that a throwaway gag joke of a random game finally put to rest a childhood memory for me. I had scaler as a kid and remember playing it but could never remember the name or anything beyond its opening cutscene and the guy being blue. It has been YEARS I have tried to find info on this game and never could until now. Thank you dunkey for ending my quest to find this game.
I know the feeling, was watching a Scott the Woz video where he mentioned "Pajama Sam" and that put to rest the search for a game I played when I was 6!
Dunkey surely knows his content very well. Sure there's like two bits where I got stuck or kind of bored but the sheer wall of content that is enjoyable and intriguing to the very end is just exceptional, if I could 9.8
This is a genuine problem, and it's really inspiring to see this kind of bravery come from a big creator like you, most would just bite their tongue. We as gamers need to address this problem, and ensure that nothing like this happens again
These are the issues that need to be talked about in the gaming community. We have so many articles, reviews, and videos that are just fluff pieces. It's so nice to see someone finally step forward to release a video against the flow and to finally address the real news and problems happening in modern gaming. Thank you Dunkey.
It’s pretty amazing Dunkey can get in the weeds and deliver this level of investigative journalism while also running BigMode and making his other content. Thank you for bringing Gamecubegate to my attention
I just saw an ad about a woman talking about tatooing her self harm scars and i skipped it mid sentence just to hear dunkey "shut up" at the beginning. Im dying
this is why I subbed to dunkey so many years ago, this type of content right here. No one else comes up with this stuff or executes it as flawlesly as him. So glad to see this type of content again
2:28 never in my life did I think zapper would get mentioned on this channel. god bless the mental rolodex of weird early 2000s games this guy has in his brain
A very heavy topic, but it was masterfully adressed. Thank you for your measured and layered take, it's so easy to dismiss these kinds of issues or laugh them off.
Thanks to you dunky I convinced my grandfather to buy a warehouse full of unused GameCubes that nobody wanted. The poor fellas were just sitting there collecting dust for years 😢
Finally someone is addressing the things that matter. I spent the last 2 years researching this serious problem in hopes to write an academic report to summarize the issues. It was going to be my life's work. But in you're infinite wisdom, you've managed to summarize my life's work in a 3.5 min video. Now I can finally retire. Thank you, Dunkey.
We all really appreciate you dunkey. We know it can be hard to address topics like this, but it's important to do so. It's honestly really heartbreaking that this video is the first I'm hearing of this issue. I'd have thought more people would address this, but at least it's nice to know we can always count on you for stuff like this. ❤️
the song in the first chunk of this video is called eternal oath from final fantasy crystal chronicles, if anyone was also looking for it after watching this
My friend's mom put his Gamecube through the washing machine once because he was playing too much Lego Star Wars, but it still worked fine after that. It is truly heartbreaking that the world's most durable console was defeated by zoo cube.
I had a hard time completing Luigi's Mansion because when you reach the point when *spoiler* the lights all go out, the game was waaay too scary. But I eventually overcame it and became the bravest of them all.
Thanks for including the spoiler because I haven’t been able to make it to that part of the game yet without dying however luckily as soon as I saw the *spoiler* warning I threw my phone across the room and therefore prevented myself from being spoiled
These videos are great, because you know that, one day, the one real human being who played Scaler on the Nintendo GameCube will EVENTUALLY come across this video.
As a gamecube owner this almost brings me to tears to watch dunkey bring light to this situation. A very controversial take, but the fact that he did a video on this proves he truly cares about the current state of video games.
This is a very well articulated and serious take on the overall industry as we push into 2023. Glad to see you surfacing and driving awareness to your viewers on such a severe issue.
The world of technology is changing so fast. I remember when the Game-cube first came out and half the workforce lost their jobs, because they were staying home and playing the Game-cube. Stay safe out there
dunkey I can't believe the bravery you're showing with these videos. you're really standing up for underrated consoles that rarely anyone ever played simply for the posterity of games. what a legend.
I’ve been struggling to verbalise these feelings for months, seeing all my friends turn away from GameCube and move towards this new Xbox, has broken my heart. Yet here is Dunkley perfectly understanding and summing up every complex emotion that comes with these losses.
yep the one time nintendo had a console that was on par with the competition... and yet these dummies didnt buy it. bozos were playing narc on the ps2 while RE4 just came out on the gamecube
Of all the serious videos dunkey makes, this is by far the most serious. And I seriously hope that we take a serious look at this serious situation that seriously isn't being taken serious enough. I'm super serious.
Thank God Dunkey is giving a tiny indie company like Nintendo just trying to make consoles a helping hand. Big Mode really put it into perspective for Dunkey, and it shows how kind he's become.
Got an ad for a kitten being rescued from the earthquake and then hard cut to Donkey telling me to shut up and listen 10/10 1 in a million moment would do again!
I, for one, am impressed with Dunkey’s fanbase here. He said “don’t make any funny comments”, and every single one of you abided by that. This is respect within the gaming community that mainstream media won’t tell you about.
We may laugh and joke around, but when the game Cube is in trouble, it's inspiring how the cubing community bands together.
We all gotta come together for the things that matter the most.
after hearing about this tragedy i don’t know if i can be funny ever again
haha (i'm laughing at your comment not at dunky so I am still respecting hte imporant game cube [one word] issues)
This is simultaneously a funnee joke AND a sick burn on the other commenters. You managed to mix comedy and serious social commentary together in one easily digestible package. The sheer depth of your intertextual linguistics mixed with the brazen use of renaissance inspirations is enough to impress even Chateau Roman'Blanc himself. This VERY COMMENT WILL GO DOWN THROUGH THE AGES AND PANTHEONS OF FUTURE GODS WILL ALL BOW DOWN IN PRAISE OF THE WORK DONE HERE TODAY BY NAUGHT BUT A HUMBLE RUclips MAN GOING ON HIS WAY. GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU HAVE BLESSED ALL OF US. MAY MANY BLESSINGS EASE YOUR JOURNEY, OH WISEST OF SAGES. ROUGHT FROM ANOTHER TIME TO DISPENSE WIDOM ON THE UNDESERVING MASSES.

This man's commitment to the polyhedral is an inspiration to us all
It's a difficult conversation to have, and we're lucky Dunkey is brave enough to venture into the verbal depths of discourse that we fear but need.
2:28 never in my life did I think zapper would get mentioned on this channel. god bless the mental rolodex of weird early 2000s games this guy has in his brain
I wish more people were brave enough to talk about this, thank you videogame dunkey

the switch oled is a piece of 💩 console ,gamecube 🗿
A very heavy topic, but it was masterfully adressed. Thank you for your measured and layered take, it's so easy to dismiss these kinds of issues or laugh them off.
I appreciate you talking about this pressing issue. You're truly a youtube.
A RUclips?
@@Lewjatan A RUclips.
@@SLightningHedgehog So u also got brain damage, nice
@@Lewjatan ever heard of a joke, even if it's a dumb one? but okay no fun allowed I guess.
@@SLightningHedgehog they said 2 words, 3 syllables, and you started insulting them
I'm sitting hear choking on my food laughing at "It's Gamecube not Game ... Cube."
Just woke up and hugged my Game Cube. This was a scary but enlightening video. Thanks, Dumkey.
Serious topics like this needed to be talked about I’m really glad that dunkey covered this very important topic
Thanks to you dunky I convinced my grandfather to buy a warehouse full of unused GameCubes that nobody wanted. The poor fellas were just sitting there collecting dust for years 😢
As a burnout 2 enjoyer, I had a lot of joy from this video!
Dunkey truely lives his life a decade at a time, I hope this situation is fixed soon ❤️🙏
That's 2 decades right there. It needs fixing and SOON.
Finally someone is addressing the things that matter. I spent the last 2 years researching this serious problem in hopes to write an academic report to summarize the issues. It was going to be my life's work. But in you're infinite wisdom, you've managed to summarize my life's work in a 3.5 min video. Now I can finally retire. Thank you, Dunkey.
Sorry about the last 2 years, man. What are you going to do now?
your cause will not be forgotten.
GAYCUBE IS DA BEST! :P
We all really appreciate you dunkey. We know it can be hard to address topics like this, but it's important to do so. It's honestly really heartbreaking that this video is the first I'm hearing of this issue. I'd have thought more people would address this, but at least it's nice to know we can always count on you for stuff like this. ❤️
the song in the first chunk of this video is called eternal oath from final fantasy crystal chronicles, if anyone was also looking for it after watching this
I simply cannot believe that this is real. My heart goes out to those affected by the GameCubes failings.
I hope the game cube gets well soon
My friend's mom put his Gamecube through the washing machine once because he was playing too much Lego Star Wars, but it still worked fine after that. It is truly heartbreaking that the world's most durable console was defeated by zoo cube.
I had a hard time completing Luigi's Mansion because when you reach the point when *spoiler* the lights all go out, the game was waaay too scary. But I eventually overcame it and became the bravest of them all.
Thanks for including the spoiler because I haven’t been able to make it to that part of the game yet without dying however luckily as soon as I saw the *spoiler* warning I threw my phone across the room and therefore prevented myself from being spoiled
These videos are great, because you know that, one day, the one real human being who played Scaler on the Nintendo GameCube will EVENTUALLY come across this video.
We shall wait and pray for the coming of the chosen one 🙏
Man. I feel like the wool has been lifted off from my eyes. Thank you dunkey for making everyone aware of this super serious problem.
As a gamecube owner this almost brings me to tears to watch dunkey bring light to this situation. A very controversial take, but the fact that he did a video on this proves he truly cares about the current state of video games.
This is a very well articulated and serious take on the overall industry as we push into 2023. Glad to see you surfacing and driving awareness to your viewers on such a severe issue.
3:17 That music ... glad he chose that outro music. 🤣
I applaud you for your courage. This is journalism, this is what it means to question the status quo. Thank you, truly.
Thank you for being the voice of reason in the gaming community Dunkey
I can't believe we've gone so long without bringing up ANY of this up, I'm glad you're the man to finally do it, dunkey.
Thank you for your service, Dunkey. You are truly a great man
This is why I make sure to catch new Dunkey videos. He is always there to report on the most relevant news in gaming
The world of technology is changing so fast. I remember when the Game-cube first came out and half the workforce lost their jobs, because they were staying home and playing the Game-cube. Stay safe out there
Thank you for raising awareness; this video has really made me consider going out and buying a Game Cube in order to keep video games alive.
I would definitely like to see more of these serious longform video essay style videos on gaming, something that is sorely lacking on RUclips.
dunkey I can't believe the bravery you're showing with these videos. you're really standing up for underrated consoles that rarely anyone ever played simply for the posterity of games. what a legend.
I'm really impressed with the amount of research Dunkey put into this video. Other RUclipsrs should take note of his dedication.
I’ve been struggling to verbalise these feelings for months, seeing all my friends turn away from GameCube and move towards this new Xbox, has broken my heart. Yet here is Dunkley perfectly understanding and summing up every complex emotion that comes with these losses.
yep the one time nintendo had a console that was on par with the competition... and yet these dummies didnt buy it.
bozos were playing narc on the ps2 while RE4 just came out on the gamecube
thank you for throwing my human soul into 2045, bless
Glad to see that everyone recognizes how serious this is. With no dislikes, this is one of Dunkey’s most successful and important videos
Of all the serious videos dunkey makes, this is by far the most serious. And I seriously hope that we take a serious look at this serious situation that seriously isn't being taken serious enough. I'm super serious.
Seriously?
“I’m deadass”
Manbearpig is ravaging the gamecube industry at an alarming level
Why so serious?

great to see dunkey covering such a serious topic, really helps bring attention to the matter
Thank God Dunkey is giving a tiny indie company like Nintendo just trying to make consoles a helping hand. Big Mode really put it into perspective for Dunkey, and it shows how kind he's become.
Got an ad for a kitten being rescued from the earthquake and then hard cut to Donkey telling me to shut up and listen 10/10 1 in a million moment would do again!
Man that Burnout 2 theme unlocked something in my brain. Definitely the best burnout game ever made.
Dunkey is brave for covering this hard hitting news, i havent heard anybody talking about the gamecube lately
A masterpiece. Da Vinci couldn’t can’t even come close to the art you create
you ain't even watched the video yet
@@sssilky3317 he already knows it will be great
@@Lisinfilm true
Hey don't downplay Da Vinci. Dunkey is maybe as good as Da Vinci but not better. Respect the masters
And just like that, Gamecube prices on eBay have skyrocketed
"This is like playing a failed console at John S's house." -Gex
so many memories playing Burnout 2, thank you Dunkey for bringing some attention to the best burnout game
Dunkeys passion for games is truly heartwarming
