7 Times You Failed a QTE and Looked Like an Hilarious Dummy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2024
- In order for the interactive cutscenes we call quick time events to actually be interactive, there has to be a consequence for when you fail to hit that button - sometimes, it's a humiliating pratfall. Consider these times you failed a QTE and wound up looking like an hilarious dummy instead of a cool action hero. Then subscribe, why not, for a video like this weekly: www.tinyurl.com/SubToOxbox
Take Heavy Rain's FBI Agent Norman Jayden, for one. He's known around the agency as the world's least competent agent in a foot pursuit. Or at least he is if you managed to miss more or less every button prompt in the QTE sequence in the video above, in which he chases down a fleeing suspect. Do so, and you turn Heavy Rain from a gritty thriller into a comedy masterpiece.
Chris Redfield, on the other hand, can thank his partner Sheva for mucking up in the Resident Evil 5 QTE in the video above.
Just as Newton's third law tells us for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction, for every QTE outcome where you look like an unstoppable action god, there's an equal and opposite outcome where you look like a numpty, with a neck snapped by Albert Wesker, and are dead. Sorry, Chris.
Shenmue 2's Ryo Hazuki joins him in the QTE hall of humiliation by failing to walk while carrying a stack of books, along with Lara Croft, who appears to forget to shoot the T-rex charging right at her in one QTE snafu in Tomb Raider Anniversary.

'An' can be used before a word that begins with an H where the first syllable is unstressed e.g. an hotel, an historian, an hilarious. At least it cleverly distracted you all from Mike's mispronunciation of Shenmue... ;)
outsidexbox no. an example of an H understressed is: ' it's an honour to see you. " the H is not silent in words like hotel.
but you very clearly 'stressed' the 'H' in the video...just putting that out there...
keg504 Grammar does not change between speaking and writing. Saikou "Stressed" is not the same as "pronounced." The 'h' was pronounced, but the first syllable was not stressed. The second one was. All that being said, I personally can't stand it when someone uses 'an' before a word that starts with 'h.' Perhaps you can say it, technically, but you still sound like a boob.
technically correct sure, sounded jarring
An hilarious dummy.... an hilarious... AN?! >.>
This had better have the QTE prompt from Spider-Man 3 where if you fail to save the woman in the burning building, Spider-Man just falls onto his fucking face like a loser.
skyrimLEGION 'I'm going to die'
*BOOM*
Gh0st same
Best. Fail. Ever. Legit i purposely failed that for like 10 minutes as a kid
"I'm going to die!"
I played it on PSP and the woman did NOT have bulged eyes but n the words of that lady "I'm going to die" as I look at spider losers burning corpse.
The "I'm going to die," Spider-Man moment will forever be my favorite QTE failure. Spider-Man's belly flop, the woman's line delivery, the perfect comedic timing of it all - just **chef's kiss** brilliant.
There was a QTE in assassin's creed where Leonardo DaVinci tried to hug me but I was too slow.. The disappointment on his face haunts me to this day..
In Assassin's Creed 2 failed the quick time event where you walk into Ezio's house and someone hits you over the head with a vase. I was like "u fokin wot m8? I'll rek u"
You weren’t too slow, that hug prompt lasts for like 1.6 seconds lol that shit was way too fast
i missed that one too XD
That, the coffe from the thieves guild guy I cant remember the name. The scene with the pazzi sister at the begining to blow the candle. AC2 QTEs were all weird and made you look stupid if you don't get them in the 0.5s they appear
They really give you no time
Lets not forget the amazing 'Press X to not die'. That takes failing QTE's to a whole new level lol.
Dokka Chapman I pressed Y. I've been waiti- there's a boulder in my house.
"Tap A quickly to not die as fast" of course from the popular game Pompeii
Use middle stick to dodge
'an Hilarious Dummy'
'AN Hilarious Dummy'
' *AN* Hilarious Dummy'
Saikou FUCKIN JESUS MAN!
Donald Trump Y-you're kidding, right?
It is only "an" if the following word begins with a vowel IE "an anchor" whereas if the following word is a consonant it is "a" IE "a hilarious dummy".
Great Alexander Thank you. I'm losing faith in the education system.
Donald Trump Learn basic grammar before trying to correct people.
My life is a failed QTE
bill bill damn feels bad man
Your dad failed the "Pull out" QTE
_hugs hugs hugs_
This is too real
woah you all ok there?
Anyone else notice how Jane can't conceal her thoroughly satisfied grin at the neck snapping?
I don't think Albert is the one enjoying this way too much.
5:46
Let's not forget the random and inconsequential QTEs from Assassin's Creed 2. Leonardo just wanted a hug!
I felt like a huge asshole for that
The spidey QTE's were hilarious
*************** "WAS" U FUCKING NUMBSKULL KILL ME
Aniruddha Shanbhag multiple is were, the typo was QTEs not was. Genius
doodlecrazydc thank you 💪 some people are just idiots 😊
Ismail Motala RIP I didn't see the "s". I'll see myself out.
Aniruddha Shanbhag why is s in quotes
That Heavy Rain chase needs more Benny Hill music.
It's like being chased by Inspector Cleusou
It’s basically Jackass Simulator
I guess you could call these A Series of Unfortunate (Quick Time) Events
Beth - neat
Beth Barrass WHERES THAT BASTARD COUNT OLAF IM ABOUT TO SLAP THE REMOTE OUT OF HIS HAND IN THE MIDDLE OF A QTE! and then I'll give it to sunny to chew the hell out of it!
When my sister and I played Assassin's Creed 2, she missed the quick time to give Leonardo a hug. Needless to say, we felt terrible....he just looked so disappointed?
I failed to press the like button in time and a boulder just fell on me
That's rough, buddy.
Certainly was, had to start the video from scratch as well
I'm guessing your knees then got poked by seagulls.
bboythekidstudios just a little
Are you in the PC port of RE4?
The Spider-Man 3 one never fails to make me laugh. Took me a good ten minutes to compose myself when I first played it.
I always thought the devs made it hilarious on purpose. There's no way they couldn't have. Every single one of the failed QTE's make Spider-Man look like a complete dumbass. Hahaha!
Steven Connor I'd like to think so, that's the kind of humour I appreciate 😂
Liam Duke I never got that qte is that a remastered version or the PS2 version
im gonna die *BOOM*
I love when he gives up saving black cat and they just smack in to the floor
The most traumatizing failed QTE occurred to me while I was playing Assassin's Creed II. I was shoveling food into my mouth as a cutscene played, as you do, when Leonardo goes in for a hug, which for some reason, requires a button press? I ended up spilling my food everywhere as I lurched for the button, and I still missed the event. Which doesn't make Ezio look so much like an idiot as it does a complete asshole when Leo's smile fades and he awkwardly drops his arms, looking all forlorn.
This keeps me up at night.
Yeah and it was just after such a hard mission too, so I didn't want to load a previous save :/
How did you managed not to get it ? I got it every time
This channel is like WatchMojo, except with personality.
Metaphysical Resonance And with much more research
And does not have the "7 tropes that wouldn't make it today" and show things that do not offend 99% of the world's population....
What culture us closer to WatchMojo. This is closer to PlayStation access
And you know better
Do not compare it to CrotchDojo.
Those spiderman ones were hilarious
before watching the video i'm assuming the spiderman ''i'm going to die'' scene is here
yup! you get a cookie :)
fearless dryan 🍪
Same here
Same
"You're enjoying this way too much, Albert," says Jane, who is clearly enjoying this way too much.
to be Fair to Lara, she is an Archaeologist, not a paleontologist, so she is technically not looking for Dinos, LOOP-HOLE!
Undizz Doesn't really matter - that's like discovering a quantum worm hole in your back garden but not telling anyone because you are not an astrophysicist.
Acharged To be fair they were attacking her. In that case self preservation bypasses protecting the dinosaurs .
if anybody looking for more Tomb Raider check out my Channel
Acharged does that mean the worms are also quantum and making your crops both dead and alive? in that case, yeah, fuck the worm hole
Undizz To be fair wasn't there like a super powerful archeological weapon of mass destruction in there that she needed to keep away from morons?
What about Battlefield 3, where not killing a small rat gets you gunned down?
At least you didn't have to throw a boot at a cat first.
Craig Watson Ive never seen that in the multiplayer , and i have played the whole game
DONQUAKER it's in the campaign
Craig Watson who the fuck plays the campaign of battlefield 3
DONQUAKER Why the fuck would there be a QTE- especially like that- in Battlefield?
Chris beating the crap of a rock or just hugging it if you dont do anything
So he looks like a fool, no matter whether you fail or you succeed?
"I'm going to die." 😂😂😂😂😂 hahaha yeah.
I wouldn't pay attention during any of the cutscenes in Assassin's Creed II and boy did I ever disappoint everyone by doing so
6:31 "i'm going to die" This is cracks me up for some reason
6:33 Jesus ducking christ. I can't stop laughing, that was amazing
The Spiderman bits of this were just the best. Watching Spiderman just belly flop into the concrete 😆
not only did the spiderman one make the player look stupid but also spiderman, slapped by black cat and falling... yeah because his web shooters aren't much help in a falling situation?
no one can recover from such a brutal pimp slap like that, XD
They must not be. Just ask Gwen.
You guys put a qte fail from Until Dawn but not the one where Josh tries to high five Sam and if you fail it he just gets left hanging? It's the saddest I've ever been to miss a qte, including the several times I got characters in that game brutally killed for the same reason.
Kit Domanski I KNOW I restarted from a check point immediately just to give him the high five
4:51
Soilers for RE5 ending.
So, I was fighting Wesker in the middle of a volcano, pumping his face full of all my bullets in my possession (And I'm one to stockpile.)
And then proceeded to spend about an hour knifing him and running away, until I finally realized you had to initiate a QTE to kill him, at a point I reached within a minute or two of fighting.
I personally have never failed the chris neck snap QTE, but I did laugh when I saw it in Jesse's play through.
what about any telltale game
spartan kitty games Those are usually disastrous, in my experience, lol. Not too funny.
Harley VanNote yeah
spartan kitty games [Glass Him]
Except in Tales from the Borderlands
Sid Samel that's the best one
Where is Battlefield 3? If you fail the part where you have to stab the rat, the main character literally gives it the middle finger.
"Evil Neo from The Matrix." So Smith. Smith is literally Neo's equivalent on the other side of the equation that is the line of cod- oh never mind no one else watched the Architect's rant 8 times.
"More like Chris Deadfield" that shit had me dying 😂👌
I remember playing the zeppelin level in The Order 1886, where I was in the kitchen area and had to grab and knife one of the enemies there. I missed the QTE, grappled at air and got shot in the head while being spread out on the kitchen counter like a pathetic moron. Good times.
I've always been good at QTEs thanks to the days of old with Shenmue back on the dreamcast so I never had the issue with the Spider Man games and always got it right on the first try so I never had a clue just how hilarious those fails where lol, kudos.
The heavy rain and spider-man ones caused me to break into an uncontrollable fit of laughter that I haven't experienced in a while. I'm so glad I subscribed to this channel
Just discovered y'all's channel about a week ago. Ellen and Mike need a raise. Their delivery of sarcasm and eccentricity is GOLDEN. Dont get me wrong, you are all FANTASTIC and I have subscribed and look forward to all new videos and a weekend marathon through your video library. Great job! Love you guys and gals!
I've never seen the QTE failed at that part of RE5.
I keep replaying and I laugh harder each time.
star wars force unleashed 1, the second boss or palpatine, watching him get up and take two steps, than get knocked over by an angine/force lightning getting back up and doing the same thing again, thats quite funny.
It's like I finally found a channel that has my exact sense of humor and it's glorious.
What is Ellen's beef with Lara Croft?! I think an origin story for the OXtra team is in order.
Dokka Chapman I don't think Ellen has any beef with her favorite video game series.....
Dokka Chapman its more of everyone makes fun of Lara Croft for being the terrible archeologists at times. Like killing the only living dinosaur.
Dokka Chapman It’s her inner Merilwen
that spiderman is a Bell-end
Still too soon... RIP Norman Jayden, you'll forever haunt Aleks's dreams
Resident Evil 4, when Leon throws the knife into Salaazar's hand and the henchman throws it back. The first time that happened, it got me, and a few times afterwards in replays.
You guys and girls are so awesome ( including outside extra ) I really hope you never retire. Loving all your videos :)
starting to think we need a "times ellen mentioned tomb raider" list sort of like the mgs list they got on playstation access
VolumeZer0 yeah
Yeah. And Andy is the one marking it.
Challenge for Ellen: make a list video without referring to the Tomb Raider series.
EffingTank cmon man, that's like telling you not to reference you favorite band while talking about music.
she'd just use The Kingdom of Amalur instead
EffingTank that would be like expecting the dude from the PlayStation access videos not to make a metal gear reference or expecting him not to treat the badger puppet in a condescending manner
Otherwise known as expecting the quality of these marvelous entertainments to fall off a building.
The T-Rex wasn't playing with his food, he was tenderizing it
"Sliding around the ice like a newborn calf." Haha awesome, well put.
5:40 LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
You guys failed the quick time Event of pressing space and pressed N...
.
.
.
.
.
.
and now you look like *A* Hilarious Dummy :P
It's actually not grammatically incorrect to say "An" before a word beginning with H, even when that H is pronounced, though it sounds awkward, and though we rarely do it in American English, it's pretty common in British English.
As a Brit... no, no it's not. I get where you're coming from, there are a few cases where "an" would be arguably correct. But "An Hilarious Dummy" just... isn't right.
When I say both out loud, "An" sounds better than "a."
Assuming I'm pronouncing hystical like I normally do, like "isterical."
Brandon Binczak wtf is hystical
Pronuncing hilarious with a silent h? Must be a Brit thing
Wow! Approaching that 2 million subscribers milestone pretty fast! Congrats guys!
I like how you show the games you will spoil... it helps a lot
I was hoping for the Until Dawn one where Josh offers a high five, and failing just has him look at you like "Oh... okay then..."
You can leave Ellie hanging in Last of Us as well, and she'll call you out!
'Like an hilarious dummy'
The D4 outsidexbox videos are among very best this channel has to offer.. Incorporeal owls haunt my days.
I can't hear the "jaunty little whistle" Wesker makes when he breaks Chris' neck because I'm laughing too hard.
The video ended before I could press the annotations! That's another QTE failed :(
Why isn't God of War QTEs here. You know, the QTE with the w\omen where mister God of War fails to deliver?
Eddiember God of War is a Playstation exclusive and i guess its because these guys cover ony games on xbox(They are called outsideXBOX)so.....
Hari Govind Suresh they don't only cover xbox games
Hari Govind Suresh until dawn is in this video and that's only ps4
The name "Outside Xbox" is supposed to be a pun on "Outside the Box", it's not refering to them only covering plays that are on Xbox :P
Only OXBOX could turn a video about games into a fiery discussion regarding the proper usage of articles. Impressive.
Lists are the reason I subbed to oxbox and this one is hilarious
why was there no spoiler alert for spider man. FOR SPIDER MAN. Now how can i ever play that game? GET ME PICTURES OF SPIDRMAN. ahem. yeah.
So it's going to be Ellen's mission to mention Tomb Raider in every countdown right
How could you forget about Beyond Two Souls? The way Jodie ran head first into the obstacle at her CIA training made her.... well me, look stupid as hell. XD
When I saw heavy rain was on this list I was just thinking SHAUN!... SHAUN!... SHAUN!!!...
If you do a commenter's edition of this video: the latter levels in Sonic Unleashed have QTEs that send Sonic plummetting to his demise if he fails them. Pretty embarrassing, I must say.
Ah, I never knew Outside Xbox video titles were meant to be read in an old London accent. Ain't that an 'istoric discovery. Truly, quite the 'appy surprise. 'Ow did I not see this before, govna? 'Onestly, I 'ad no clue.
Some of the best failed QTEs I've seen are in TellTale's Jurassic Park: The Game. There's so many good ones, like becoming a human kabob in the middle of a Triceratops/T. Rex fight, blundering at any point during a knife fight against a Velociraptor (no seriously, this happens) but the cream of the crop has to be trying to escape the Rex at the docks at the end of the game when you slip and get your head crushed between two shipping crates. Fun times.
You really did find some very funny examples. This is how you should start your day: having some good fun and working your belly muscles as you laugh while watching. Thank you for sharing. :)
The first example, "Heavy Rain", looks like it would be a great idea to record and upload the whole sequence with failed button-clicks, it would be an awesome hilarious watch; and I think the devs had this in mind when they put it together. Somebody most likely have already made such a video. If anybody knows of such a video, please leave the link - I'd love to watch it.
what about the heavy rain 'sex' scène😂😂😂😂😂
Love this channel but I hate QTE s
Have you tried a pommegrapple?
As soon as I saw the D4 "home life" clip, this is my thought process.
.............
And, I'm lost. I'm officially lost, behind the back of the fridge, with a warranty card and a missing 10mm socket.
There's my favourite QTE in Mass Effect 2 where if you fail it, you look like big dummy for not throwing that mouthy guy right out the window.
NOTIFICATION SQUAD, WHERE YOU AT?
Sisi Rs not me
Sisi Rs yo
Sisi Rs ayoooo
not me either, i'm just early lul
Sisi Rs here
like a hilarious dummy*
Ernesto 1905 I think it may have been intentional
Goat Lord, how and/or why?
Ernesto 1905 cause it's ironic
Ernesto 1905 by saying that it's making them look like "an hilarious dummy"
Maybe it's different in the US, but I'm pretty sure it's common for British English to use 'an' before an h word as it would words starting with vowels. Kinda like how color is colour, center is centre, canceled is cancelled, catalog is catalogue, and so on and so on.
Don’t forget The Wonderful 101! Just watch a compilation to see some examples. Some repeat, but there’s always Wonder-Pink venting her rage at the player. Or getting a call in the middle of battle, and it’s with Sylvia from Viewtiful Joe!
No Star Wars: The Force Unleashed I and II? The QTEs in Force Unleashed II can yield some rather amusing outcomes.
For someone who is such a big fan of Lara Croft, Ellen sure does criticise her a lot :)
Better to acknowledge that one's heroes have flaws than try and pretend they're 'practically perfect in every way.'
I see where you're coming from, but I was simply making a humerus jest.
Oi! I have a bone to pick with you about that comment, or as Shakespear put it, "Tibia or not tibia, that is the question..."
I guess that means my whole channel is me looking like a hilarious dummy :(
You're a hero!
I always liked the QTE fail screens in Lollipop Chainsaw. Juliet ninja-flips around chainsawing zombies in half all day long only to stop all momentum and watch an easily-avoidable streetlamp slowly fall onto her twintailed skull.
The best part of the until dawn ones is that it's the actor who does Agent Ward from Agents of SHIELD. So, basically I see a highly trained hydra agent forgetting to duck under a tree branch...Priceless.
"Shenmooey"?
QTE's In my opinion are just shit. They're boring when you do well and infuriating when you fail, cause failure means either autofail or nothing at all. Like the heavy rain one you could fail every single QTE and still complete the level, So why bother with them in the first place?
There are some games which use them well. God of War uses them in a way which immerse you in action rather than distancing you from it, for instance, and some games use them to introduce an action elements in games where a full action minigame would be out of place.
They're sadly in the minority...
TheScholesie09 You should really look into either Asuras Wrath or the Naruto Ultimate Storm games. CC2 (the devs of those games) do incredible jobs making QTEs fun and weighty. They feel IMPORTANT but also don't just throw you into a "You Failed" screen if you miss it.
QTE's as a mechanic can work if they are better built into the gameplay, as Timothy noted, God of War is one notable example.
Another is No More Heroes where all the QTE's are built into the gameplay and the game even pauses for you during them so they never move forward until you do them from memory. As much as a lot of RE's reaction commands irritate, the ones in combat like for a punch when you shoot an enemy in the knee is an example of a good QTE.
The bad ones however are the ones like the ones that are unforgiving in reaction time, the ones that come the fuck out of nowhere and the ones where they are just unnecessary (I'm looking at you Dying Light final boss).
+Altoryu And Dead Rising : OTRs final boss, the whole fight relied on skill alone until the final part
QTEs are not bad, just sometimes badly used. Have to quickly press a button to avoid failure is something that gamers do in many games without realize. Like fightining games or any that you need to do combos, or jumping platforms.
The problem is that they don't warn players in a cut scene, when we usually rest our hands to enjoy it, and give too short time to recover.
Or worst, when done on PC, when they just don't get how keyboard and mouse players can quickly respond to it, by throwing a bunch of grey button pressing on the screen. Seriously, there is a big difference when holding a controller (less buttons, color, symbols/less characters, both hands holding while every button is near your fingers).
I always thought that the part where you fail the QTE on Resident Evil 4 where Salazar's minion throws your knife at you after you stabbed it through his hand is pretty hilarious.
"Yaaay I'm a badass...*Thwack* naaay I'm a dead ass"
Tomb Raider on the 360 was probably the first qte (with prompts) game I played. Missed them all first time :D
QTE's are cancer of modern games.
Except when hitting a bitch reporter lady in mass effect.
Can Coşkun I loved hitting that bitchy reporter!
Can Coşkun your reaction are just like a snail, too damn slow
3:22 xD 3:28 Come on Lara, it's even doing a dance for you. I forgot how hilarious messed up QTE's can be. xD
NORMAN. :D That chase is one of my favorite gaming moments ever tbh.
I literally spent like an hour playing that Spider-Man: Web of Shadows QTE with Black Cat failing on purpose because it was so ridiculous. You just verfied that I am not crazy for doing so.
i've watched this channel a lot of times yet i forgot to sub to you so im gonna subscribe
Again from Heavy Rain: just letting Norman slide down the muddy hill rather than try to do QTEs to make him *not* muddy.
That QTE around 6:30 mark..... laughed for a couple minutes uncontrollably and nearly choked on my food
.... Highlight of my week!
The resident evil one is pure comedy
"your enjoying this way to much"
last sequence you smiled wile trying to make a discussed noise Jane, no-one will fall for your plan to rule the world that way!
try a frown next time
I can't unhear Shen Muay now. Thanks guys.
I'm glad this has the bookc arrying from Shenmue 2! Shenmue has so many QTEs there are so many to choose from, but the book carrying is the most doh-inducing!
First one OMG! Comedy Gold! With bonus Mike commentary
These are SO much fun XD
Sometimes qte's are a good thing!
