@Swag Monke Why are you even on a video of someone speedrunning a game called "Dumb Ways To Die", since that doesn't seem like something you would find funny😐 People dying isn't usually considered a joke, but here we are laughing at fictional beings being in situations where they can die from electrocution, being run over by trains and cars, overdosing on substances, being burnt alive and so on. Pretty dark with the implications, but no one here gives a flying fuck. We find it funny😃
@Swag Monke You told me that self deprecation wasn't funny, and I told you that was subjective and I don't care. You then said because humour is subjective doesn't make everything funny. I then answered by basically saying your hypocritical because this whole video is about fictional characters dying in supposedly stupid ways that would be horrendous in real life. It doesn't relate to self deprecation, it relates to what you said afterwards:Everything shouldn't be funny(though you seem to find people dying funny cause that's the whole point of this video). Do I have everything correct so far, or did I miss something🧐?
Canberra is the same. Americans are constantly screwing it up in their news reports like they do Melbourne. One time a character in an American sitcom had to say Canberra and somehow came up with "Cahnbuhrreh". We only recognised it because they said the city was in Australia. It was so bad my brother and I had to pause the show and rewind it just to check. And then to laugh our heads off. Can't even imagine what Americans would come up with for even mildly challenging place names like Tuggeranong or Woolloomooloo. Or, dare I say it, an Indigenous Australian place name that is more difficult. Like Wangkatjungka.
@Annamaria Poku I asked my mom about it when I was a lot smaller and she told me to ask my cousin. I never did but I finally realized what she said a few years ago when I listened to it after a long time
I remember when I started playing Dumb Ways to Die as a kid, my parents were concerned because they had no idea what it is. They were like "Wait a second, Dumb Ways to Die?!" I was seven.
@@Boinkadoink_ the game is based on this song ruclips.net/video/IJNR2EpS0jw/видео.html and the song was some PSA campaign I think? I remember when it was originally made, can't believe it was 9 years already.
I remember this song on the radio non stop yeah it was a government campaign, and eventually led to a whole level crossing removal project after it bought awareness
This game has evolved so much from when when it was first made, also I love it when Easy tried to do commentary when it's a fast pace game, like if he really tried he could maybe make a rap or something
Lore : Garbage Bag Man was running from His Drug Dealer after He accidentally scratched Their Car. Toaster Guy wanted his toast that was stuck in The Toaster, he stupidly uses a fork to get it. Washing Machine Man climbed in there for Hide and Seek, though he didn't account for The Machine to start by itself. [0:40] [1:16] [1:32]
Fun fact about this game: It's part of an advertising campaign for train safety in specifically Victoria, Australia. Melbourne (You slightly mispronounced it, it's more burn than born) is the Capital of Victoria, and Victoria's trainline, called V-Line, had this advertising campaign back in the early 2010's. I can't say how successful it was, I always took train safety seriously, even as a kid, but the song was certainly catchy! Loved the little guys standing around Flinders Street Station.
1: it's not "melborn" or "melburn" it's "melbin" 2: V-Line wasn't the ones to create the song or game it was created by metro. 3: V-Line isn't our main trainline it's metro. (V-Line is one of the trainline companies here in victoria but it isn't the main one)
@@gamenerd607 I have heard the term Melbournians, its burn, and even then it's probably more bern and ben than anything lol. V-Line covers a good chunk of Victoria, mostly locations along the Princes Freeway, with a few branches via Buslines along the way, and even then the Myki cards (our easily exploited transportation system that works for literally everything, for people outside of the state) are marked with Public Transport Victoria, we can probably toss the blame for the ads to them due to the extreme coverage the ads got around the state... not counting RUclips and App Stores where the rest of the world saw it. Either way, it's an ad originating in Victoria, Australia, specifically FOR Victorians, and was created to advertise safety around Public Transport in general, with slight emphasis on Trains, and it became fairly popular around the world during the time it was created. Let's leave it at that.
@@FrostGlader i'm literally FROM Melbourne EVERYONE HERE pronounces it as "melbin" the only people i hear say "melbern" are Americans and just because V-Line covers a good chuck of Victoria doesn't make it the main trainline, metro is the main trainline because it covers the more common areas and WAY MORE people catch metro then V-Line making metro THE MAIN trainline, and you can't just "toss the blame to V-Line" because they cover more places then metro because at the end of the song it literally says "be safe around trains. a message from METRO" and in school we had a time (around the time when dumb ways to die came out) where a METRO worker came in to the school and talked about train safety and showed us the DWTD
The song actually explain a bit of why some of the characters are in said situation, like the person running from the car is presumably running away from his drug dealer after accidentally scratching his car
I loved this game when I was playing it, but it is SOOO Hard to master some of the levels! In my opinion, the hardest one is when you need to hop on hippos.
Please, could you try to make a speedrun of Dumb Ways to Die 2? It's a lot more fun because there are many more levels and worlds to play, and they're very diferent. I hope you enjoy playing it if you do!!
When I was a kid I related to the character with stitch marks around their kidneys because when I was young I had to get one removed. (I didn’t know they sold both of their kidneys like a idiot 4 money at the time) 😀...........this game is childhood- I-I’ll go home
What’s *dumb* is that I’ve been playing the game a lot, and keep in mind I’ve haven’t watched videos on this game, and somehow this video came up.. *im being watched*
The garbage truck guy is running from the mob. The old version of the mini-game was where you were avoiding be hit by a bat, as they attempted to beat you up.
This game was actually based on an Australian safety advertisement that was made to warn people the dangers/accidents that can occur if you're careless around trains/underground metros. Most of the weird minigames are referencing the original song from the ad.
Pro tip: When you get the guy that barfed over the screen, instead of swiping like a maniac to clean it, just put 2 fingers, one on the top left and one on the top right corner and pull them down This is a trick thats been out since the games release

The game was originally designed as part of an advertising campaign for railway safety in my hometown of Melbourne, Australia. It was pure genius.
That makes a lot of sense, i love this game
I still see signs of it at Flinders st station, it’s lovely
I used to live in Brisbane, and hear that song everyday when commute to school

Dumb Ways To Die reminds me of WarioWare in terms of gameplay.
Lots of fast-paced microgames that last a few seconds each, getting faster over time.
Probably one of the inspirations, come to think of it. Neat!
