How Kayaba accidentally disabled his own audio instead of everyone else's means so much more now with online video conferences in 2020. Legit happened to a professor in a class I watched.
It ties in perfectly to his motivations later on. He's still sleep deprived here and borderline insane, no wonder he had such a hard time communicating with them and was making technical blunders.
@@weirdowithacello3481 god forbid todd howard makes a nervegear, wait would he be a real kayaba? The parody va sounds somewhat like him..is..this..foreshadowing? Is this a warning from a traveller of the sands of time?
I am 93% certain Kayaba during those two years forgot why he had the Sanners video tabbed then immediately remembered when someone entered a boss room shouting “Leeroy Jankins!”
You know that idiot saying “what” He somehow made it to floor 75 I know that isn’t technically an “achievements in ignorance,” but by god it feels like it
Not sure if others noticed but this was actually the second time WOW was mentioned, when Kayaba said the above line it was at 4:29 but World of Warcraft was mentioned by one of the people who was speaking all at once when Kayaba accidentally muted himself. 4:02 "Come back to World of War Craft you guys, it's better I swear!" It's a small thing but not something I noticed on my first watch (or through like my 30th rewatch if I'm being honest haha) and I just thought that interesting. Hundreds of rewatches later you could notice the smallest thing that never stood out before.
Rewatching this episode feels different when you realize the "hahaha ha hahaha haha... ha" on the "Log Out" button was probably a symptom of the creator's psychotic break due to video game industry crunch time.
yeah because when youre forcing millions of players to fight or die, what youre really worried about is your corporate overhead and certaintly not worried at all about the legality or humanity involved
@@NobodyReallly He said in the end the problem was a software glitch that happened near the end of development and Kayaba basically turned it into a feature because it was too late to fix it by the time players started entering the game.
Funny how this series, despite having two extremely toxic, borderline sociopaths as main characters, became my feel good watch. Whenever my life seems more shitty than usual, i come here, and watch Kirito grow as a person one creative insult at a time. And every time, i come back feeling better. Thanks, Something Witty Entertainment
For some reason i want a romcom about 2 broken characters because of this Something about 2 extremely flawed characters falling in love sounds interesting to my degenerate brain
Matthew Kolcz not gonna lie, that small comment tirade made burst out in laughter. But agreed, this series is too pure to spoil with real world problems...
Yep, that dude probably was walking around the game for all those years thinking “I’m here in this giant free for all because one asshole told me the longest story on earth about a pebble” probably screamed that when he was taking his rage out on a giant monster.
I would say the issue of wearing a helmet for over a year, selling a helmet that can kill you, and the fact that 90 percent of the people in the game didn't die in the first week when they starved because nobody found them in real life and because someone pulled the helmet off in the first day. Also let's not forget power outages, internet issues, and the fact that moving these people to a hospital would be insanely difficult to do. All of this on top of literally everything about the game and how it makes no sense.
@@cameronroy2129 you clearly never payed attention they had a back up power system for if power went out same thing for internet connection. Why do you think Kirito woke up in the hospital, the Same with Asuna?

Imagine going through real life in a place like New York City without adblock. Oh, wait. Honestly those ads were pretty realistic for a large modern day city like tokyo or new york.

One of my absolute favorite multi-episode jokes is one of the first jokes told in the whole series. Kirito says "I'm gonna burn this f**ker to the ground." Then, several episodes later, he says "Have you ever noticed this place has a real arson problem?" (close enough). I come back to watch this series every once in a while even when there isn't a new episode simply because the writing is so excellent. I laugh every time through.

This is what's known as a Brick Joke; it's a joke that takes several episodes (sometimes, the entire series) to become relevant again, and once it does, it usually does so subtly.
Long ago, this pebble was forged in the fiery pits of Tartarus, by the grand blacksmith of Lucifer himself in a time long before the world began. War upon war was waged in the abyss of pain before it was ultimately bequeathed to the lowliest of peasants, a man named Makenzie. Quickly corrupted by its power, he began a lone siege of the kingdom. Having seized power, war after war was waged, all sourced from the newly-crowned king’s lust for strength. Generations of kings continued his conquest: Yamato, Carrie, Budva, Logan, Bread, and many others were led astray by its perverting power. Each king fought on the front-line of their bloodshed. Finally, another king, blessed by the gods, confronted the pebble with the mighty weapon Demon’s Bane, and felled the depraved regent. For centuries it lay dormant in the vaults, only being unearthed when the kingdom was on death’s door. The finest warrior would be tasked with exclusively wielding both weapons. But treachery! The thief Cocainus had obtained the holy weapon! Confronting him, the pebble’s wielder slew him in a single strike, but not before his foe could reciprocate. And thus, Mardoza, Guardian of the Pebble, fell to his knees, and passed from this world, leaving behind the mighty weapon. For he knew that one day, its power would be required once more.
Jane's Dead this should be the best parody you’ve ever seen because it is the best parody ever made. I have waited 7 months for episode 13 that says a lot- the preview gave me life 😇😇😇
And all the people in apartments who died of dehydration or malnutrition. So if you have no family, you die. If you have family, you die. If you play the game you still probably die. Survival is unlikely.
Christopher Michael Oh true. But, everyone in the real world knows what’s happening to the players. So, the government most likely had a hand in bringing in most players to the hospitals to be cared for.

You know when Kirito had sex with Asuna and Kirito said “suck it Rosalia” Because she said he wouldn’t be that far inside of a woman? Well they didn’t have sex in the actual anime, they just “went to sleep together” But the light novels devoted an entire subchapter, chapter 16.5, retelling a sex scene with Kirito and Asuna. In the original book format it game in
i dont know if u meant ops comment or the replyer's comment, but everquest was like one of the "original" mmorpgs that came to prominence alongside asheron's call. if you mean the op's comment, its just a reference to the gag that wow is super addicting.
It's not called World of Warcrack for nothing. Not that most widely popular MMOs haven't been addictive by using the same psychological tricks as casinos.
I think this needs to happen when Heathcliff reveals himself as Kayaba: Kayaba: Well done, you figured out I'm actually Kayaba Akihiko. Random Guy: What? Kayaba: The creator of the game. Random Guy: What? Kayaba: The guy who trapped you here. Random Guy: What? (Kayaba plays scanners clip) Random Guy: Oh my god! It's Kayaba Akihiko! Kayaba: So glad I had that tabbed.
Looking back on this series, I really like how every character is a different flavor of the losers you meet in actual online games (Kirito as the cocky teen, Klein as the stoner, etc). For example, me? I'm that laggy girl. If you see a lone person with 250+ ping in a lobby? That's me.
For me, it’s probably the guy that has the collective brain cells of 1, fighting like a gorilla and probably have the stand of king crimson (999 pings)
I think this series was so well performed and written is that writing and performing was the only thing they had to work on. The forced creativity that the writers were put under, not being able to change the animation or the story made them put into into what they could do better. The writing is so amazingly quotable and funny and I’m glad that they did. They focused on what they were good at and it turned out *SO, SO, SO WELL.*
@@CrazyManDigital Wait, by how much? I got that they changed the lip syncing and reused shots and played them out of order, but did they animate new poses and things like that?
@@birdup6449 besides Don fluffles, they have changed entire backgrounds made entire scenes and added whole new elements but they have only recently done it a whole lot more in recent episodes and they do it so good that its not noticable
Pretty much the same thing with the first few seasons of red vs blue. Limited animation/game play mechanics, more effort towards dialogue to make it phenomenal
Klein: "Hey kirito um, total noob question, but how do i log out?" Kirito: "Are you serious man?" Klein: "C'mon man, it's nerve gear, i can't ALT F4 this shit" I SPIT OUT MY APPLE JUICE
honestly i'm surprised it doesn't take longer, they don't just redo lines. they have to rewrite parts of the script, rewatch the show multiple times to make sure the details are right, edit them or cut parts out entirely, often they even animate certain parts like eye movement. i can imagine all this shit has to be taxing and take a long time. that's not even getting into all the times they got copyright claims.
10 years old good god. And honestly a timeless masterpiece, I love rewatching this over actual SAO. So impressed that SWE has kept it going for so long.
@@RickachuCXVI I have rewatched this about 5 times I saw this for the first time around 12:00 PM yesterday, it is 7:10 PM today, rip my sleep schedule
It was never delivered. The delivery guy showed up, but since Klein wasn't able to answer the door, the delivery guy went about his day and ate the pizza
Best part in the video 6:31-7:00 Kills me every time lol "Oh I should probably mention that when your health points reach zero your real bodies perish as well" "WHAT" "Uh ok, if you die in the game, you die for real" "WHAT" "Really? Ok...Sometimes things are born, they live and then they stop...FOREVER" "WHAT" "uhhhhhh..." *Scanners video* "Oh my god if we die in the game, we die for real!" "Yea I'm just gonna keep that tabbed"
Nolin Fong Yeah, no way they hired Trey Parker (aka: Co-Creator of South Park) to do that, but it was a very good impression. I have a friend that can do it spot on and I used to be able to do a pretty good Cartman impression in middle school and the first couple years of high school before puberty fully kicked in. Now all I can do is be impressed by those who still can.
Recommend a friend to watch SAO. They finally did, after a lot of convincing, but they didn’t have Netflix. So I said to her to try downloading a site that I use, when that didn’t work I had her try RUclips. She text me 20 minutes later saying how much she loved the sarcasm in it. I was confused, as the first SAO episode was pretty serious. I asked her to send me the link to what she was watching. Found myself here.
@Noah Havens sheep are entitled to their opinion doesnt mean us wolves have to listen or even consider it.......woah where the fuck did that come from?! (Jk dude I was being a smartass and decided to use your comment for a satirical response.....here's a cookie 🍘

It’s only due to your efforts that I was able to grow up with this series, it’s crazy to me that I found this in middle school and now I’m a whole ass adult with a job and responsibilities, yet I still find the time and enjoyment to always come back here!

For centuries it lay dormant in the vaults, only being unearthed when the kingdom was on death’s door. The finest warrior would be tasked with exclusively wielding both weapons. But treachery! The thief Cocainus had obtained the holy weapon! Confronting him, the pebble’s wielder slew him in a single strike, but not before his foe could reciprocate. And thus, Mardoza, Guardian of the Pebble, fell to his knees, and passed from this world, leaving behind the mighty weapon. For he knew that one day, its power would be required once more.

Just thought about all those family members who disconnected the nerve gear unknowingly killing the player.
And all the people in apartments who died of dehydration or malnutrition. So if you have no family, you die. If you have family, you die. If you play the game you still probably die. Survival is unlikely.

That’s part of the actual anime as well.

You know when Kirito had sex with Asuna and Kirito said “suck it Rosalia” Because she said he wouldn’t be that far inside of a woman?
Well they didn’t have sex in the actual anime, they just “went to sleep together”
But the light novels devoted an entire subchapter, chapter 16.5, retelling a sex scene with Kirito and Asuna. In the original book format it game in
@@MustacheDLuffy the light novels were the og, also it's still a sso media
0:24 i still use this quote to this day.
“Much like World Of Warcraft. None of you are here by choice anymore.”
It’s sad how true this is.
"When was the last time you've heard of someone beating EverQuest?"
"When was the last time you've heard of someone playing EverQuest?"
"That's fair."
Was that a reference to something, because I didn’t get it?
i dont know if u meant ops comment or the replyer's comment, but everquest was like one of the "original" mmorpgs that came to prominence alongside asheron's call. if you mean the op's comment, its just a reference to the gag that wow is super addicting.
It's not called World of Warcrack for nothing.
Not that most widely popular MMOs haven't been addictive by using the same psychological tricks as casinos.
Well, i play WoW because i want to. I'm playing it by choice. I think.
I think this needs to happen when Heathcliff reveals himself as Kayaba:
Kayaba: Well done, you figured out I'm actually Kayaba Akihiko.
Random Guy: What?
Kayaba: The creator of the game.
Random Guy: What?
Kayaba: The guy who trapped you here.
Random Guy: What?
(Kayaba plays scanners clip)
Random Guy: Oh my god! It's Kayaba Akihiko!
Kayaba: So glad I had that tabbed.
+Josh Martin Oh I seriously freakin hope so
+Josh Martin OMG that made me lmao (or lol in French ;P )
+Josh Martin Yep pretty much. Except the last one would be long and poetic. I only got: The guy who trapped 10000 people here.
+Josh Martin And the whole time, Kirito is just getting madder and madder at the idiot.
Kayaba (right after the first "What?"): Oh come on, you again?
Looking back on this series, I really like how every character is a different flavor of the losers you meet in actual online games (Kirito as the cocky teen, Klein as the stoner, etc). For example, me? I'm that laggy girl. If you see a lone person with 250+ ping in a lobby? That's me.
SACHI NO!!!
rookie numbers
come on man those are rookie numbers
wdym ping is supposed to be below 800
For me, it’s probably the guy that has the collective brain cells of 1, fighting like a gorilla and probably have the stand of king crimson (999 pings)
Episode 18 sneak peak released now its time for me to watch this masterpiece of a series from beginning to present once more

I think this series was so well performed and written is that writing and performing was the only thing they had to work on. The forced creativity that the writers were put under, not being able to change the animation or the story made them put into into what they could do better. The writing is so amazingly quotable and funny and I’m glad that they did. They focused on what they were good at and it turned out *SO, SO, SO WELL.*
i agree, the writing and acting is amazing - as a person who pretty much hates anime - I love work of these people
Wait till Birdy here realizes they change more of the animation than is noticable so it looks like the original work.
@@CrazyManDigital Wait, by how much? I got that they changed the lip syncing and reused shots and played them out of order, but did they animate new poses and things like that?
@@birdup6449 besides Don fluffles, they have changed entire backgrounds made entire scenes and added whole new elements but they have only recently done it a whole lot more in recent episodes and they do it so good that its not noticable
Pretty much the same thing with the first few seasons of red vs blue. Limited animation/game play mechanics, more effort towards dialogue to make it phenomenal
Doing the obligatory rewatch for the upcoming Ep 17. Holy shit, this series is 10 god dam years old.

The original is pretty shit
foxtrot golf
So true. XD It's 10x more hilarious.
Yep. That's true. I barely even remember original SAO by now but this thing I quote verbatim.
The original serie is pretty good, but it should've ended at episode 14. The rest is pretty much Mario going to save the princess. It's pretty bad.
ScarFearz GGO arc in season two is ok.
They've been making this series for almost TEN FUCKING YEARS OMFG
2 episoded per year almost
theyre committed. i cant wait fo rthe next one
honestly i'm surprised it doesn't take longer, they don't just redo lines. they have to rewrite parts of the script, rewatch the show multiple times to make sure the details are right, edit them or cut parts out entirely, often they even animate certain parts like eye movement. i can imagine all this shit has to be taxing and take a long time. that's not even getting into all the times they got copyright claims.
And they are only like halfway through the second arc. The show has gone on so long they are actually further from the end then when they started.

His poor pizza
The mould could have developed a society so advanced that they made their own nerve gear
It was never delivered. The delivery guy showed up, but since Klein wasn't able to answer the door, the delivery guy went about his day and ate the pizza

Recommend a friend to watch SAO. They finally did, after a lot of convincing, but they didn’t have Netflix. So I said to her to try downloading a site that I use, when that didn’t work I had her try RUclips. She text me 20 minutes later saying how much she loved the sarcasm in it. I was confused, as the first SAO episode was pretty serious. I asked her to send me the link to what she was watching. Found myself here.
