This is one of my favorite gags ive ever seen on youtube. It really went from "haha i forgot 2023 so heres both of these years" to "im a fucking time traveler now".
the jockington reveal will go down in history as one of the most iconic moments in gaming. like in ocarina of time when sheik was revealed to be zelda, and in metroid prime 4 from this year when the metroid hit the griddy
I misread Sheik as Shrek and I was like "Oh it's like an ironic comment, neat" and then quickly realized my folly, and that you were being sincere, then I got flashbanged by the griddy
Still can't believe that Samus was the Metroid all along. Ironic. He was searching for him all this time, but it was only a disguise to disguise the fact that he was behind all of it. Also, fun factz: there's a sponge species called Samus Anonymus. Foreshadowing for the reveal the Spongebob is Samus?
I was joking with myself on the possibility of Salty making a Best of 2025 that somehow consists of footage we haven’t seen before, I didn’t expect it to actually happen.
What do you mean? Pac-land 2 takes place in 2024, that's why he said it's 2024 since they were talking about Pacmen. The video was recorded in 2025, that's why it's in best of 2025.
Nah, the real one is the fact that he and Mikey were playing the alpha/beta version of multiversus, you can tell because velma calls the police and the speed of the gameplay
2:47 fun fact, Tekno the Canary from the british Sonic the Comic is canonically non-binary in the online continuation of the comic. i thought that was neat
I'm guessing these are videos that have already been streamed or recorded, and are now in the editing process. So we have a pretty massive backlog of edited videos that will release this year, technically making them part of 2025. Nonetheless still very funny to say Salty is a time traveler.
@@Hekza0024 No man that's totally real footage bro. Look it up, chapter 3 released and we forgot to let you know. Shame you didn't see the stream, former president Obama was there chatting with salty about what Ms. Pac Man did.
Of course the second I make a comment about being disapointed by the lack of the percieved "1 year behind" bit in the 2024 video, you then reveal an entierly different bit you were going for. Well played.
Same dude, I was literally shaking. I somehow thought that chapter 3 released with little to no fan fair, and salty was the first person to talk about it.
@@dimthedimwit7221 To quote the Wikipedia, "4′33″ is a modernist composition by American experimental composer John Cage. It was composed in 1952 for any instrument or combination of instruments; the score instructs performers not to play their instruments throughout the three movements. It is divided into three movements, lasting 30 seconds, two minutes and 23 seconds, and one minute and 40 seconds, respectively, although Cage later stated that the movements' durations can be determined by the musician. As suggested by the title, the composition lasts four minutes and 33 seconds. It is marked by silence except for ambient sound, which is intended to contribute to the performance." The joke is that it's ambient silence, and the idea of *ambient silence* being DMCA'd is funny.
@@SaltydkdanI love how this implies that Salty decided to play Pac-World 2 in New Year's instead of going to meet family or do something that isn't playing Pac-World 2.
This is such a good bit oh my god. When I saw the "Best of 2023" vid i thought you accidentally uploaded the wrong yearly summary vid. Then you uploaded the "Best of 2024" one and I was like "Imagine if he uploads a 'Best of 2025.' video lol." 😭 When is the best of 2026 vid dropping?
This recap/trailer video was so exciting, so emotional, so memorable, and so charming with the hilarious moments Saltydkdan had chosen! These clips truly point out the best moments of 2025 with each sequence of events having a remixed humor improvised by the Streamer/RUclipsr Saltydkdan. I can't wait to see the trailer for "Saltydkdan's Funniest Moments of 2026" and have a sneak peak to what's to come!
like 20 seconds in and this is already hilarious and i know many comments are gonna go along with the bit and thats also really funny too but i just wanna say: thanks for making stupid and funny videos like this one for half a decade, keep cooking
Seeing Derek play Project 06 in this makes me want to see the full video or uncut stream of it, mostly because I wanna see his reactions to the project being Sonic 06, but runs well and is actually really good. Who knows, maybe that could be an actual video for 2025.

Man feels like yesterday that 2025 just started... you did so much as a creator, can't wait for 2026 content!
Such a wild year for content. I can’t believe it’s already over.
Pretty much confirmed that Salty is releasing a best of 2025 compilation to avoid the fact that he didnt do a best of 2001, we know your intentions
I was literally watching Disney Channel all day just to wait for the compilation. Completely wasted my precious prenatal time.
I got you Salty, at 6:07 you say "it's 2024". Got them rekt get owned big chungus fortnite dance

The scariest thing would be if this video later vanished without a trace. As if we saw something we weren’t supposed to see yet.
It's been 2 days, how is there 46 minutes of footage?
He’s been streaming non stop since New Year’s Eve, I’m shocked he’s managed to cut it down to only 46 minutes
In the Pac-Man World clip Salty says “it’s 2024”, this is so relatable, like when I used to write the wrong year in my school workbooks!
Because i believe dan cant make any errors i assume he time traveled to get us this video
