I've seen Connor and Ludwig interacting plenty of times now but something about Ludwig sitting next to Connoor in his Japanese apartment felt so surreal.
@simsxie yeah wow no shit, but theres literally nothing about classical music in the entire video though. Can't believe ludwig made a video with Connor macgregor!! 🤣🤣 get it because they have the same name omg lol
14:28 I think that the editor isn’t familiar with lolita fashion since they added that sus Rock face. 😂 The word “lolita” may have a weird connotation especially in some Western spheres but in terms of the Japanese street fashion it’s super innocuous. The Cinnamoroll plush is in fact wearing sweet-style lolita, complete with a bonnet and chocolate theme! It’s making me lose my mind, I want it so bad!! 😭💞
@@Ghiaman1334 Hi, while lolita fashion shares a name with the novel, that’s as far as it goes. The street fashion doesn’t have any associations with sex, kink, or otherwise underlying seedy connotations, considering that lolita fashion takes cues from rococo and Victorian clothing, celebrates (hyper)femininity, and furthermore grew as a rebellion _against_ Japanese adult women’s sexualization and societal demands. So, again, in terms of this street fashion, the term “lolita” is entirely innocuous. I recommend reading the article “Maiden’s Armor” by Michelle Liu Carriger from Cambridge University Press if you want more information on lolita fashion and on this issue specifically.

Saying it's anything less than that is actually really disrespectful to the gravity of the subject and the evil he was trying to convey. Just stop, it's so gross.
Ya'll remember when Connor just keep getting ungodly amount of Rem figures before but now he doesn't even know what Cinnamoroll plushie he has already 🤣
Ludwig is now Ironmouse’s second supplier of Cinnamorolls. Confirmed. Nicely played Mousey! Some interesting choices from Connor with the other prizes. Another fun crane game video Connor. Looking forward to the next competition!
I love that these crane machine videos are getting longer! 🍿 Your sponsor reminded me how I wish I could see Japan during cherry blossom season; I used to live near a park filled with them but since moved 😭
I guess you could say that this challenge really put your crane game skills to the test! 😂👍 It was so much fun watching you take on the $1000 Crane Game Challenge in Japan with Ludwig.
I don't know whether it was Ludwig as a guest, the impeccable editing, the jokes or the crane games itself, but I enjoyed this episode even more than usual with these videos (which is already alot). Great video.
Tbh i love Ludwig's angle on this one. While it's technically "bribing", it was thoughtful of him to pick (and actually WIN) prizes for specific people he knows based on their interests. BUT I was hoping so hard that Connor would go for the Mudkip, and the fact that he actually did made me so happy. BUTx2!!! Ludwig got a Tuxedo Sam on top of it all so Ludwig wins this one in my opinion :>
I found it’s more enjoyable to watch crane games with people that know and like what they’re doing. These videos are always chaotic and aggressive for no reason. That one guy saying he’s not going for the biggest shiniest prizes goes for the biggest one with a crown on its head, almost wins it, then gives up because they don’t know what they’re doing.
Once again, favorite series. I think connor won this time because Ludwig was trying too hard to win the appeal of other people through getting them gifts. Connor just went to have fun
Through my Crane Game Judgement! Ludwig... you put up a decent fight, but you were so concerned for the votes and winning you didn't really enjoy yourself while playing. Connor has not only ran circles around you with quality and quantity, he also playingly SPITED you by stealing what you gave up on! I declare CONNOR is the Winner! Not only was his prizes better and in more quantity but he also entertained us with fun times!
I just know that I love these videos because I myself would have spent so much money on these crane games and it's better to watch them than to play them

Connor sounding like a concerned mother “stop eating the 1 dollar candy, that cannot be good for you” was hilarious
He must bring out the parental feelings in people cause when he looked genuinely sad about the gotcha ball I felt bad for the poor child 😆
well.. cancer IS the mother of the zodiac afterall xD
At this point, Connor is just finding "guests" to fuel his never-ending Crane Game addiction
One day he will run out of opponents and start challenging himself lol
@@justSunny7 Or doing rematches with previous contenders.
He sells them off for charity. so honestly it's good and he makes more profit from the videos made so it's not so much an addiction but a side hustle.
Fair point

@@senor.molina

Ludwig looked so genuinely crestfallen at that mirror keychain 😂

OMEGALUL. 🤣 Yeah, that's so Ludwig. Evilly getting gifts for friends. 😈😸

At this point, Mousey will need a whole room dedicated to Cinnamorolls besides her bedroom.
Connor saving Japan's economy one crane game at a time
Seeing Lud freak out on Connor winning all those Pokémon plushies is hilarious
I love that these crane machine videos are getting longer! 🍿
Your sponsor reminded me how I wish I could see Japan during cherry blossom season; I used to live near a park filled with them but since moved 😭
That was so relatable when Connor was a quarter of an inch from getting the prize
Ludwig breaking out the Shohei threads as a perfect culture bridge. You love to see it
Winning a Cinnamon Roll for Mouse gives you extra points. Because it makes Mouse happy and when she's happy her fanbase is happy.
Winning a cinnamonroll variant that mouse doesn't have make her happier

Well, shit, now Mouse has got two minions sending her Cinnamoroll sacrifices.
That cat alone wins it for Connor. It's so damned adorable! As for the Mouse tax, his is also superior. Ludwig did well though.
the cat looks a lot like a sanrio character called corocoro coronya which is also an orange cat with bread on it's head
ludwig is like the stereotype of a loud american tourist
He should tone it down a little bit .
Anyone else just want one of those tree stump plushies from the bottom of those machines?
Yes
Absolutely
Mudan killing it like always with the edits. Love the Death Grips YUH
I hope he keeps making videos like this in thr future. They are hilarious and super fun to watch.
Connor won easily. Ludwig was so busy trying to play the system, he forgot to play the actual game.
I've been desperately searching for this episode because I just assumed since ludwig was in Japan it had happened, so hyped for this one.
"Let's put the L back in Ludwig" I'm always happy to see ChokeDawgVA in action, but this man won fair and square, and he's a savage at that.
Crane game videos are seriously my favorite RUclips videos to watch, besides Asian street food. It’s a good combo of comedy, vlogging, and gaming.
The edits in this video are so hilarious! Probably my favorite one so far cuz him and Lud have great synergy
I love Lud IMMEDIATELY starts strategizing like crazy 🤣
Half of the fun of these crane game videos is just wanting to hear Meyline’s commentary 😂
“Put the L in Ludwig”
Damn Connor he’s got a family!
What he does
Streamers have family?
I have never realized how much Ludwig just speaks without thinking until this video. He plays the "stereotypical" American very well
Aww I love that fan moment. I love it when influencers are nice with their audience
Connor was in a god darned crane game zone, like some sort of anime protagonist.
I just always love Ludwig and Conner collabs, they're always funny and just make great videos together, you can tell they enjoy filming together
Really? Lol same but they seemed combative in this lmao loved it
Finally Ludwig doing with Connor do the Crane game challenge
Lud calling Rob Lucci a one off villain is so ironic right now.
Thats what I was thinking
"connor wheres my nintendo switch?"
"but i thought it had to be one of the prizes on the left"
"yea..."
breaks my heart every time
This was by far the best crane game video! Ludwig and Connor are both hilarious when their egos are clashing together!
Connor really be calling a Super Mushroom a "Toad's head" 😭
And not knowing Dedenne
Lud calling Tuxedo Sam "Tuxedosan" is pretty funny too
@@sheridanwolf that’s acceptable. Pikachu’s evolution line and pachirisu are the only quality electric rodents

AND we have know Lucci is in CP0 since like Mariejois so he was never planned to be a one time villan.
"A one time villian"
Keeps showing up over and over
I want these two to make and host a gameshow!
Ludwig calling Rob Lucci a “deep cut, one off villain” is truly an L wig moment
