Penguin Monk, I gotta be honest with you here. You're right. I think one of the coolest parts of Dunkey's videos is his immense ability to subvert his true thoughts, beliefs and intentions with, as you say, engrossing, rich commentary that you normally couldn't find anywhere else. Dunkey's videos all sort of have an inexplicable charm to them - a format, you could say - that can so easily reel you in as if you were navigating through a catalog of your own subconscious. I.e., he strikes exactly where he knows you're going to be enticed and where you're finally going to feel represented, or at the very least cared for by his capabilities in the craft of coordinated cinematography and personal feelings. It really just feels like he's some sort of magician, some omniscient entity who can so beautifully give you a moment to yourself in a whimsical wonderland of love, respect, and most importantly, what a lot of people have lost during these depressing times - taste. Of all conceptualizations Dunkey understands, it's taste - he knows when he sees a good video, a good game, or a good comment. He knows when he sees a bad video, a bad game, or a bad comment. His tastes are completely, absolutely, undeniably perfected to the point of which even a long, boring rant that you think is actually agreeing with you is actually just that; SUPER MARIO BROTHERS 2 BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GAME OF THE YEAR EVERY YEAR SUPER MARIO BROTHERS 2 TALKING ABOUT SOME SUPER MARIO BROTHERS 2 OVER HERE SUPE-
"Streets of Rage 4 is out here acting like the competition is still fierce," is such a raw, well-written praise of the game Dunkley never ceases to amaze me with his writing

I have an annual tradition of playing whichever game you think is best each year. Just watched the video so glad I get to play super mario brothers 2 for the 9th year in a row. THANK YOU DUNKEY!!!
6:08 Dunky the type of guy to put a game that came out in 2017 that he reviewed in 2019 at spot number 3 on his list of best 2021 games in the year 2022
Honestly, it's one of my favorites. Somehow the huge dead open world with repetitive missions felt a lot better than most huge dead open worlds. I'm looking at you ubisoft. Kojima you're crazy for this one. But I don't disagree at all with anyone who says they hated it. I don't think I would recommend it to many people at all, but it was sorta my zen relaxing game for a while. except when you fall down a mountain or something.

It actually makes me really happy that he mentioned Mario Golf. I was a tester for that game's final patch, and I'm glad to see someone enjoying Wiggler.
@@dayman7136 Oh I definitely know! Im talking about how he subverts expectations by showing a string of questions and then for the last one actually shows the answer which sounds absurd. It caught me off guard and I wheezed.
Especially the ones who made a 10 hour angry response to his Last of Us 2 video claiming things like how nobody used to hate Wind Waker and that putting homosexuality in the first game was OK because they didn't "force it on you" (whatever that means aside from "I scapegoat diversity whenever it's in media I don't like" or "I'm not homophobic, I just don't want those icky icky gay people to be put on the forfront the same way countless straight romances are, all the time") Meanwhile, dunkey over here annihilates them with quality over quantity and depth over length.
@@Vivi_9 Yeah, I too haven't seen anyone complain about a woman having muscles after 4 years of very much established means and motivation ("bu-but apocalypse! that means there can't be places with enough food left" yeah except for that Jackson place which has enough to feed horses, where Tommy straight up told Joel "remember when you said people couldn't live like this anymore? Well we're doing it" after talking about all the food they have... in the first game :) ) I also happen to live under a rock.
yeah I'm surprised by how much of this video's content was from his other videos. A lot of these opinions are things you can find on his videos from this year, whereas the older Best of Year videos had more variety and you got to see what all Dunkey was playing besides the stuff he made videos about.
I've never played or heard of the game, it is 1 year younger than me, but it still looks really good based on that snippet watched. Is that a remastered version?

1:19 I played sooo many hours of Sheep as a kid! Dying them, the heavy metal sheep, getting them caught in the farm machinery.... Good times. Thank you for that nostalgia rush Dunk
"Pokemon Unite made League of Legends look like a masterpiece." FINALLY someone says it. For a while, everyone was acting like that game was god's gift to mobas compared to league.
I don't know if Dunkey went back and finished it, or replayed it, or what, but seeing Dragon Quest XI as his #3 game of the year four years after it came out and two years after he played it on the switch is pretty cool
Dunky, u have no idea how much I needed this laugh. 2022 has been the worst but I'm finding myself again after a shitty few months, and part or that was marathoning your videos. During some hard times, you lift me up. U da best. 7/9
"[...] and a fat guy sells you landmines to go fishing." That sentence ended in a completely different way than I thought it would, and I nearly spit up my food because I laughed so hard. Thank you for that hilarious moment, Dunk!
I think most of us have gone through a point where our favorite RUclipsrs start getting boring or fail to deliver us the content like they used to. But for Dunkey's case, I think that's never going to happen cause the man has limitless talent and creativity. His videos never fail to make me laugh and I have been watching him for like 6 years now. All I wanna say is thank you so much dunkey, you beautiful black man.
Dunkey is so good, he would still be the best RUclipsr if he only uploaded sporadically once every few months. But he’s the best, so he gave us a whole month of Donkey Kong videos every day
He called it at the beginning of last year, and it turned out to be true, Bowser’s Fury was his game of the year. Totally agree. Behind Super Mario Bros 2 of course.
I ain’t got’a nuthin funny to say but I do wanna say that Dunkey, you make me laugh out loud so consistently and bring me so much joy with each of your videos. Just, thank you.
There's a certain level of quality where games can no longer be objectively sorted. Space station 13 looks like shit, is hard to learn, and can be very clunky but it's subjectively the best game ever made to many of its fans.
Space Station 13 is the best stupid fucking dumpster fire of a game that I've ever been hopelessly addicted to. The different codebases have something for everybody.
@@PhrozenFox Never thought I'd see an SS13 fan out in the wild (other than sseth's channel). It's such a fun experience for such a terrible game. It's like Stockholm Syndrome, the first hour is you despising everything about it and the next 999 hours are you begging to play your favorite role and shitposting about the clown.
He has a great taste in games tho, and hes also great at explaining why he likes games. I think my backlog of games I want to play is like 80% recomendations from dunkey videos, probably more.
Honestly the best part of this video for me was finally having Dunkey explain whether he actually liked Metroid Dread. That, and seeing that Bowser's Fury did end up as his #1 game of 2021
3:26 "there is a dentist level, there is a disneyland level, there is a shenmue level of questions being asked" ok dunkey that was amazing writing i loved it
Every time a 3D Mario comes out it takes me back to when I was a kid playing sunshine and galaxy. No game ever gives me goosebumps like a Mario game does when I beat it. Nintendo EPD 8 is still bringing out gems over 10 years later and it’s extremely impressive.
Most people kind of wrote off Bowser's Fury as a fun side-game or an experimental thing, so I was surprised to find it really is the next 3D Mario adventure with tons of new ideas while bringing back and combinging concepts from Sunshine, 3D World, and Odyssey into something fresh and new and more fun than ever to explore.
I absolutely hated the game. 10 hours in and I felt that I was just doing the same shit again and again. I think I’m just too spoiled by modern turn based games having high levels of complexity right from the start. That said I also beat FF1 a few days ago so maybe I just didn’t like dq11.
Especially in the face of Jontron only reviewing boomer shit. Oneyplays fun hosts being replaced with painfully average ones. James Rolfe is a lot less focused on AVGN. The creatures and cowchop both dead. Pewdiepie making more mature vids. Seems dunkey is one of few people who can maintain steam just being himself. Say what you want about jontron; he's funny but he can't carry such shitty topics.
I had such high expectations for Psychonauts 2 I figured there's no way it'd live up to the hype, but once I finished it I realized it 100% did. Literally everything I could've wanted out of a sequel. First time I've ever felt good about pre-ordering
It was such a unique game, in narrative about mental health and in platforming, honestly I never felt like it got repetitive and the environments themselves were beautiful too, not to mention how polished the soundtrack was.
Dunkey’s best of 2019: “Next year shit goes down” Dunkey’s best of 2020: “Next year is going to be a good year for games” Dunkey’s best of 2021: *Doesn’t even bring up 2022*
He must have come to the realization that the only people still working are people that have to. There's a significant amount of people who already have money, and a significant portion of those people are who have the talent and skills to produce good things. All that's left are the desperate incompetent dregs trying to scavenge up whatever scraps are left to them. You'd be foolish to have any hope in the future given this.
He realized that he's unintentionally decimating the video game industry by putting so much pressure on developers. After creating the best video on RUclips, it's very difficult to make a game to hold the interest of this legend
Dunkey's relationship with Death Stranding is more compelling than most fictional romance
I'm emotionally invested to an unhealthy extent
It's the first strand type relationship
Really makes you feel like the circus is in town
It's got a little something for everyone
It's more compelling than fictional romance because it's actually real.

Truly a strand year this 2021

I was a tester for that game's final patch, and I'm glad to see someone enjoying Wiggler.
Thats cool. cute pfp btw
wiggler best character
_Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle_
We all just wanna be loved the way Dunkey loves Mario.
"Comparing Mario to other game is like comparing me to a content creator" is such a fire quote
It's also not an actual quote.
I don't know what's more amazing: The fact that Super Mario Bros 2 gets re-released every year, or the fact that it keeps getting better.
Every year I’m afraid maybe he’s m odd past the joke and it won’t win Game of the Year, and every year and I am proven wrong
I cant believe what would have been such a controversial video has no dislikes. Dunkey truly is the salesman of all time
Get a new joke
The dislikes are hidden on RUclips now. Every video will look like it has no dislikes

Classic. Haven't watched it yet.
Dunkle really threw a curve ball at us with number 15 being behhhh, truly a superior content creator
3:37 The ending to this bit had me reeling, dunky is amazing at timing.
That's just the game
@@dayman7136 Oh I definitely know! Im talking about how he subverts expectations by showing a string of questions and then for the last one actually shows the answer which sounds absurd. It caught me off guard and I wheezed.
I would watch a two hour breakdown of Dunkey’s best games without even blinking
He said what we're all thinking
He said what we're all blinking
why
watch his top 100 games video, thats as close as it gets.
I think my eyes would get dry
Another Dunkey masterpiece. We got the commentary, we got the the Hitman bit, and then the Wii Play music?! This guy’s got everything 😂
The frantic spaghetti punch bit is my favorite dunkey bit
@@ShinKuriaSeunousu I lost in when he said, “Step into my office” 😂😂😂
"It takes two" was hilarious to watch - we definitely need another re-stream of it
Masterpiece video. Haven't seen a second of it.

Mr mushroom
0:38 : "Pokemon Unite made League of Legends look like a masterpiece"
And that's coming from Dunkey, goddamn
I like the game :(
2020 felt like 2 years while 2021 felt like half a year.
2022 is going to feel like a decade and a fucking month at the same time at this point
2021 was yesterday and it’s already almost February
@@Mohashm yup
2020 never ended as far as I'm concerned just 2020 part 2 until this pandemic stops hindering all of my plans.
@@Kirinet 2020 part 3 this time it’s personal
5:31 this got me so good when he said step into my office and you see 80 bodies piled up near the toilet
I'm glad Dunkey finally acknowledged that his content is far above every content creator on the platform
Definitely a bold claim but he’s earned it imo
There are content creators then there are creative artists. One is doing it for the money/fame and the other is in it for their passion.
Especially the ones who made a 10 hour angry response to his Last of Us 2 video claiming things like how nobody used to hate Wind Waker and that putting homosexuality in the first game was OK because they didn't "force it on you" (whatever that means aside from "I scapegoat diversity whenever it's in media I don't like" or "I'm not homophobic, I just don't want those icky icky gay people to be put on the forfront the same way countless straight romances are, all the time")
Meanwhile, dunkey over here annihilates them with quality over quantity and depth over length.
@@knowledgeanddefense1054 I've hardly seen anyone being bigoted when complaining about the awful letdown that is TLOU2's story
@@Vivi_9 Yeah, I too haven't seen anyone complain about a woman having muscles after 4 years of very much established means and motivation ("bu-but apocalypse! that means there can't be places with enough food left" yeah except for that Jackson place which has enough to feed horses, where Tommy straight up told Joel "remember when you said people couldn't live like this anymore? Well we're doing it" after talking about all the food they have... in the first game :) )
I also happen to live under a rock.
"Comparing Bowser's Fury to other video games is like comparing me to a content creator" is the most fire line of 2022 and it's not even February yet
Didn't Bowsers Fury come out in January as well? All the best stuff comes out in January
Yeah he asserted some dominance on that one, lmao
@@hooimansen we can just say early year then, this new pokemon is great as well
Every year you know it's coming, every year you know it's in there some where... yet somehow each time it gets funnier.
Never change dunko
i always rewatch dunkeys gaming rewind videos. Idk why but they are just so rewatchable
I do not even play games anymore but Dunkey's scripts and comments are so comforting.
You made the best decision my man, I salute you
another fellow adult who grew up. im proud of you
Man I was thinking the same exact thing while watching this video then I found this comment I think google is reading my mind fr
Good choice bro 💪
Great choice, bro. Now I only play games like Cake Mania and kinds like that
I still can't believe I wait an entire year just to hear him say the exact thing I expect him to say
yeah I'm surprised by how much of this video's content was from his other videos. A lot of these opinions are things you can find on his videos from this year, whereas the older Best of Year videos had more variety and you got to see what all Dunkey was playing besides the stuff he made videos about.
@@boiboi7717 what he meant probably was super Mario Bros 2 I think.
I have watched dunkey since 2014.
Every video teaches me an important lesson.
Thank you for everything; dunkey is absolutely my favorite black rapper.
5:43 missed opportunity, could have said -
"in Mario you need 100 coins to get an extra life, but in Hitman you only need 1 coin to *end 100 lives."*
“Castle Crashers is 13 years old.” ... damn you Dunkey... how dare you make me confront my mortality.
Yea nice try you two but that can't be true because that would make me old.
...I'll be honest, I thought that was a joke and didn't give it another thought
I was in middle school when that game came out on xbla. Im now 87 years old
I've never played or heard of the game, it is 1 year younger than me, but it still looks really good based on that snippet watched. Is that a remastered version?
the commenter above you said they were a kid when sunshine and galaxy came out.
sigh
Dunkey: #2 is It Takes Two
Me: Wait, really? I thought that would be number 1. What did Dunkey love more than that?
Dunkey: #1 is Mario
Me: Oh. Yeah. Makes sense.
And #0 is SUPER MARIO BROS 2 BAYBEE
True gamers knew.
That twist ending really got me like woooooaaaahhhaatt?. Even after 27 top 10 of the year lists, Dunkey still manages to surprise me.
1:14 to 1:23 got me laughing so hard what is wrong with me
Same
Haha same
Yo me too my absolute favorite part
That part was rent free in my head for the longest time. The way he talks is fucking addictive
The "Come back in 10 years" joke was amazing
I didn't get it.

1:19 I played sooo many hours of Sheep as a kid! Dying them, the heavy metal sheep, getting them caught in the farm machinery.... Good times. Thank you for that nostalgia rush Dunk
the fact he has carried on the super mario bros 2 at #1 for 10 years is both terrifiyng and astonishing
the fact that mario bros 2 has been the best game for 34 years is both terrifying and astonishing
"Pokemon Unite made League of Legends look like a masterpiece." FINALLY someone says it. For a while, everyone was acting like that game was god's gift to mobas compared to league.
League is still a pile of non-dunkey donkey shit, but the pokemon moba made it look like dunkey brand name donkey shit.
It's not great but it's still better than league because it has greedent
@@milliondollarmistake very true
Never played Unite, but league is garbage right now.
Unite's best feature is the games only take ten minutes
Dunkey: has opinion on game
Random person: “time to have a meltdown about it”
Idk what u sayin, there are 0 dislikes on his video therefore everyone agrees with Dunkey
@@ferrestist1678 yeah idk what they’re on about either tbh.
@mercury_stuck_in_1984 fuck
Why does every RUclips comment have to be in like a meme format
@mercury_stuck_in_1984 That's assuming RUclips's even gonna last till 2030.
I don't know if Dunkey went back and finished it, or replayed it, or what, but seeing Dragon Quest XI as his #3 game of the year four years after it came out and two years after he played it on the switch is pretty cool
Dunky, u have no idea how much I needed this laugh. 2022 has been the worst but I'm finding myself again after a shitty few months, and part or that was marathoning your videos. During some hard times, you lift me up. U da best. 7/9
"[...] and a fat guy sells you landmines to go fishing."
That sentence ended in a completely different way than I thought it would, and I nearly spit up my food because I laughed so hard. Thank you for that hilarious moment, Dunk!
I think most of us have gone through a point where our favorite RUclipsrs start getting boring or fail to deliver us the content like they used to. But for Dunkey's case, I think that's never going to happen cause the man has limitless talent and creativity. His videos never fail to make me laugh and I have been watching him for like 6 years now. All I wanna say is thank you so much dunkey, you beautiful black man.
If you were a true fan, you would know that he is actually of Puerto Rican descent
@@TrophyHunter52 Hum actually he is a dunkey it's written in his name. checkmate false fan
Dunkey is so good, he would still be the best RUclipsr if he only uploaded sporadically once every few months. But he’s the best, so he gave us a whole month of Donkey Kong videos every day
He's white lol but yeah I dig that too
@@pandemonium7720 He’s definitely black. Just listen to that VOICE. Everybody knows it!
He called it at the beginning of last year, and it turned out to be true, Bowser’s Fury was his game of the year. Totally agree. Behind Super Mario Bros 2 of course.
No, its not. But i respect his opinion
@@BiggerR10 did you watch the video? it literally is his game of the year
@@Mruck_Trop the most memorable quote of the video for me
@@jackhousen8445 Na he just recognizes masterful game design.
@@jackhousen8445 lol ok
I ain’t got’a nuthin funny to say but I do wanna say that Dunkey, you make me laugh out loud so consistently and bring me so much joy with each of your videos. Just, thank you.
Imagine how good this wouldve been if his brother didn't have the controller
must be an older brother....
Finally, now the year can truly start.
It's nice to see Dunkey finally recognizing Mario Bros. 2 for the masterpiece that it is. Game of the Year baybeeee
I can't finish the video I'm stuck rewinding number 15 and number 14, it doesn't stop being funny no matter how many times I hear it
I love how Dunkey’s list reflects how much he enjoyed games, rather than how good they may objectively be.
There's a certain level of quality where games can no longer be objectively sorted. Space station 13 looks like shit, is hard to learn, and can be very clunky but it's subjectively the best game ever made to many of its fans.
Space Station 13 is the best stupid fucking dumpster fire of a game that I've ever been hopelessly addicted to. The different codebases have something for everybody.
@@PhrozenFox Never thought I'd see an SS13 fan out in the wild (other than sseth's channel). It's such a fun experience for such a terrible game. It's like Stockholm Syndrome, the first hour is you despising everything about it and the next 999 hours are you begging to play your favorite role and shitposting about the clown.
He has a great taste in games tho, and hes also great at explaining why he likes games. I think my backlog of games I want to play is like 80% recomendations from dunkey videos, probably more.
I dunno, man. The video has zero dislikes, so it seems like a pretty objective list to me.
Honestly the best part of this video for me was finally having Dunkey explain whether he actually liked Metroid Dread. That, and seeing that Bowser's Fury did end up as his #1 game of 2021
LET'S GOOOOOOOOO
I love you daily
Hi Daily does of internet
play inscryption
Hi
What?
3:26 "there is a dentist level, there is a disneyland level, there is a shenmue level of questions being asked" ok dunkey that was amazing writing i loved it
7:45 I love that he is actually self aware about it
Every time a 3D Mario comes out it takes me back to when I was a kid playing sunshine and galaxy. No game ever gives me goosebumps like a Mario game does when I beat it. Nintendo EPD 8 is still bringing out gems over 10 years later and it’s extremely impressive.
Most people kind of wrote off Bowser's Fury as a fun side-game or an experimental thing, so I was surprised to find it really is the next 3D Mario adventure with tons of new ideas while bringing back and combinging concepts from Sunshine, 3D World, and Odyssey into something fresh and new and more fun than ever to explore.
EDP????!! 😯😯😯😯😦😦😦😦😳😳
@@frealish6622 They're the guys at Nintendo who invent all the ideas for the delicious cupcakes
i hope super mario bros 2 wins again this year very underrated game
That punchline at the end is a tradition I look forward to seeing every new year.
Dragon quest 11 is one hell of a journey. Without spoiling anything it took me back to my childhood as well, right at the end.
I was glad it made to Dunkey's top 5.
Weeb
I thought he had hated that game, I played Dragon quest 9 on DS when i was growing up and loved 11, really hopes he finishs the game its well worth!
I absolutely hated the game. 10 hours in and I felt that I was just doing the same shit again and again. I think I’m just too spoiled by modern turn based games having high levels of complexity right from the start.
That said I also beat FF1 a few days ago so maybe I just didn’t like dq11.
DQ11 is the first game I stopped playing because of how awful and repetitive the overworld music was.
i cant believe that dunkey is still this funny after so many years, how does this guy keep his creative juice intact i wanna know
Especially in the face of Jontron only reviewing boomer shit. Oneyplays fun hosts being replaced with painfully average ones. James Rolfe is a lot less focused on AVGN. The creatures and cowchop both dead. Pewdiepie making more mature vids. Seems dunkey is one of few people who can maintain steam just being himself. Say what you want about jontron; he's funny but he can't carry such shitty topics.
Intoxicants.
for real. he's definitely one of youtube's best
passion
@@PhrozenFox disagree on the oneyplays part, i think zach hadel is fuckin hilarious and creative and the old hosts were super whiney and annoying
I had such high expectations for Psychonauts 2 I figured there's no way it'd live up to the hype, but once I finished it I realized it 100% did. Literally everything I could've wanted out of a sequel. First time I've ever felt good about pre-ordering
It was such a unique game, in narrative about mental health and in platforming, honestly I never felt like it got repetitive and the environments themselves were beautiful too, not to mention how polished the soundtrack was.
2019: it's the calm before the storm I tell ya
2020: o-ok this will be the calm before the storm
2021: this year was bullshit
I'll never get over seeing Leah and Dunk playing together. Their chemistry is just so perfect together
Best video of the year.
Nah, Super Mario Bros 2 videos are a little bit better.
Dunkey’s best of 2019: “Next year shit goes down”
Dunkey’s best of 2020: “Next year is going to be a good year for games”
Dunkey’s best of 2021: *Doesn’t even bring up 2022*
if he doesnt mention 2022, it will be good... right. right?
He must have come to the realization that the only people still working are people that have to. There's a significant amount of people who already have money, and a significant portion of those people are who have the talent and skills to produce good things.
All that's left are the desperate incompetent dregs trying to scavenge up whatever scraps are left to them. You'd be foolish to have any hope in the future given this.
2022 has Elden Ring.
*drops mic*
@@PhrozenFox And hackers ready to put malwares in your pc too !
He realized that he's unintentionally decimating the video game industry by putting so much pressure on developers. After creating the best video on RUclips, it's very difficult to make a game to hold the interest of this legend
With so much changing in the world, always good to know Mario Bros 2 is always Dunkey's goty
