that interviewer telling fallout boy that she's a major yaoi freak at a game cube promotional music tour is the most early 2000's things I've ever seen. I'll show this video to my grandchildren one day
@@Vitorio582 You're right but I get what they mean. That clip definitely has the energy of the pre-iPhone/smartphone era (2007) and not the post-smartphone world.
Admittedly, I think a Code Monkeys timeskip series could work very well. "Code Monkeys 2000" Instead of having it take place in the 80s and making fun of stereotypes from then, have it take place 20 years later and parody Spike, G4, and other 2000s gaming culture. They could even parody the Wii and how big its launch was.
Honestly if you had told me nowadays that back then that Nintendo hosted on a musical festival featuring artists like Evanescence , My Chemical Romance, and panic at disco, I would genuinely have a hard time believing that considering what Nintendo is like currently.
And thats not even the full title!!! If you look cloesly its days Guilty Gear x2 The midnight carnival #Reload.... What a ridiculous name! Those movie prop designers sure had some crazy imagination!
That…sounds more like an anime; like some Otaku girl expects some type of reverse harem thing but then realizes all three of her male roommates are total creeps and idiots, and this could lead to either awkward sex comedy shenanigans or something unconventionally endearing where she starts to learn that each guy has some type of hidden depth or reveals they aren’t as creepy and awful but then she realizes that she can only choose one of them to be her boyfriend and knows it would mean rejecting the other two. I can dig it.
@@Max25670I would have called you a Fagola for any reason what so ever, in fact I should call you one just for misspelling one of the holy gaymer words.
I miss it too, although it's not like those genre's died out completely. Still plenty of nu metal, punk and emo if you know where to look for it, it's just sadly not mainstream anymore.
I can think of no better summary for Spike Tv than it being the channel that gave the award for best animation in a game to Dead Or Alive: Extreme Beach volleyball. If that doesn’t tell you what their mission statement was as a Nettwerk, I don’t know what would.

The pre RUclips era of entertainment made for gamers will always be a fascinating time to look back on, especially with insanely cheesy it could get. Also at 6:17 next to the Nood pan figure is a neat custom Kidrobot I made and gave to pan at Momocon 2019 , glad he showed it on his shelf
They have a dumb show on RUclips that uses the same kinda pixelated characters an does comedy sketches with Mario. Not on the same tier as code monkeys tho.
Don't know if you'll see this or not, Pan, but I've been watching your videos for several years now and every single one I'll watch on repeat. Keep up the good work!
This video would never be complete without Code Monkeys, and I'm surprised to see Mr. Larrity making cameos. I never knew that there was a concert to promote the GameCube, but I did own a GameCube since I was 10. As for Code Monkeys, I remember really liking it back in the day. The unique pixel art style overshadows a lot of the crude humor to me. It also got me to try out River City Ransom.

On the topic of Grandma's Boy, I remember when we used to have a DVD of the movie, except I swear to god there was some weird shit going on with the special features menu. the background was a tv showing off the game from the movie, if I recall, but I swear to god whenever I was alone and looking at the special features menu, there would be this weird face that sort of looked like JP would appear on the television and look back and forth. I shit you not, I'm pretty sure anytime he showed up, he would keep looking back and forth until someone walked into the room and the tv would go back to the game play footage, and I swear one time his eyes literally stopped upon going to the middle while I was watching with my brother and then he disappeared sooner. My brother didn't believe me but I swear there must've been a ghost or something. Can anybody else confirm the strange ghost face thing???? or was my child brain making shit up????

I've been listening to the Code Monkey opening for years without knowing that it was a show that existed. A fun fact for those who may not know. The opening to Code Monkey is performed by Jonathan Coulton who also did the closing songs for Portal and Portal 2.
Code Monkeys deserves its own video from this channel funniest bit is the creator was correct about his show being viewed on RUclips or some other platform
Out of them all, Code Monkeys is what I’m most familiar with. Saw it on Netflix and thought that it looked neat. 8:55 Also I agree with your outrage. Though imagine a world where Kirby Air Ride won
You finally did it! You did the Code Monkeys review! Just like what we were talking about at South Texas Comic Con. I'm glad you understand how hard pixel art is because pixel art doesn't rotate like that. As a game designer, I've spent hours trying to get every pixel right. I work with 32-bit sprites and I have to keep everything else in scale. Also, having Larrity show up was hilarious, I hope you keep doing it. He accurately represents Texas, unfortunately.
Ah, the good ol' Video Game Awards. I remember the 2006 show, where Kingdom Hearts 2 only won a single award out of two nominations. It was Best Supporting Female Performance, and it was cuz of Tifa who only had like a handful of lines. Ya might as well have given the award to her appearance in Advent Children.
@@PixelRoserade Five cutscenes. Outside of cutscenes we got optional text dialogue while exploring, a combat section with her during the big midgame Hollow Bastion Heartless invasion, and a couple matches with her in the Underdrome coliseum's Paradox Cups. Out of all of that, only four of the cutscenes and the one combat section aren't optional cuz her last scene is after you beat the Sephiroth superboss. And in terms of story role she's more part of Cloud's subplot if anything. Her whole role is basically just lookin for Cloud which is where the Seph superboss comes in for that plot to be wrapped. The most she did as a supporting role in the main plot outside of the one combat section I mentioned is just move a portrait which is more cuz of her "looking for Cloud" thing.
Ah, the Nintendo Fusion Tour, that brings me back. Missed like 2 bands waiting in line to play Twilight Princess, but the line was capped with my friend and I at the end, so being the last to play made it pretty memorable. Great video!
Staying up late to watch Fresh Baked Videogames and Gamehead felt really special. It was stuff from "my" world on basic cable framed as something manly and cool. Plus they introduced me to Mega64, so that's pretty nice.
Both Code Monkeys and Grandma's Boy I stumbled across in the early 2010s. CM i found while scrolling throw Netflix in the early summer of 2013. And GB, my grandmother had it on dvd. I don't know why a 70 yo woman had it. It was one of the man dvds I was given after she passed away. They're not great, but I enjoy the hell outta them. My favorite quote in Grandma's Boy when Alex shouts "Jeff's a fucking liar, Timmy"!
The 2000 was good old days were i literally tore through magazines either at my library or stores , and when my parents caved and got me a nintendo power subscription. The magazines back in the day had the best ads, comics, and random games i kept imagining myself playing someday.
If you do another episode, you should try Game Over (2004). It was this weird little 3d animated family sitcom set in the video game world with patrick warburton as the dad character. It only had 6 episodes but it might be worth a look into.
How, In the 9 hells, did you do Big T’s Larrity’s voice!? And ALSO, how did you get Dean’s voice and Jerry’s voice?! And, I did NOT know that Dean and Jerry’s voices were ALSO the Art Directors!
I was not aware of how bad the bullying towards Japanese devs of JRPGs was. I saw clips from back then of Adam Sessler just dogging on this Japanese dude for making JRPGs, and the hate has gotten to be so bad that even the term JRPG is becoming taboo in Japan. As a fan of them myself, seeing companies move away from that style of game to stop the bullying is very fucking depressing. If you hate JRPGs, that's fine. Don't hate on an entire nationality for making them, and don't play them. Nobody fucking cares about you. Just stop insulting people and disguising it as opinions.
It's honestly still a high level of disrespect these days from Localizers. They treat the Japanese devs as if they're horrific monsters that need their work purged and rewritten for being anathema to "Decency" and will completely change dialogue to insert their own ideas or change the whole thing. The way the localizers and their sycophants react to people that try to mod games to be more accurate to the dev's vision is just insane, it's so absurdly xenophobic and dehumanizing.
Adam sessler is a complete dickhead period. This, is why I’m happy I watched RUclips for gaming videos all my life instead of watching crap, on tv by complete posers.
The emotions that I felt when I heard Jerry and Dave from code monkeys for the first time in years cannot be expressed. I remember coming across it on netflix in middle school and my sense of humor was never the same.
25:55 "Did you remember to TiVo Samurai Jack?" Uh...I don't think it was ever on TV in 2005 or 2006. It didn't even air on Boomerang at that time, you can only get it on season sets in DVD. CN really aired the last few episodes on Toonami in September of 2004 and completely scrubbed it off the air.
Nah, reruns still aired until like 2007/2008. You know what's weirder than that? 2 dudes watching Jackie Chan Adventures in 1080p widescreen format in 2010 in Better Call Saul.
37:20 The license plate is "Pardu" which has many RL references, but the most famous as a not-D&D character from Tom Hank's "Mazes and Monsters" where RPGs make Tom Hanks go crazy and murder people.
2:00 the easter egg of you calling him Bert Chrysler is just one of the many reasons you make goated content... I regret being such a big fan of Code Monkeys
I love how the chick doing the IGN review knew they didn't give a crap and just went along with it. Yeah it's cringey but it's way more interesting and enjoyable than the kind of stuff we see in the gaming space now.
Man, it was one of those moments, heck I wasn't too aware with most of this content, but here goes. But damn, it was quite a time in the era of edge and over the top humor for the extreme market.
30:02 Not entirely true, 16-bit games could do sprite rotation, but it was very limited. Mid-gen Genesis games like Gunstar heroes and Pugsy had to pull visual trickery to make sprite rotation seem believable, while earlier Snes games like Actraiser and Contra 3 had rotating maps between levels and cutscenes, both pre-dating the Super FX chip.
man i cant believe ive been watching pan pizza for nearly a decade. he was so under the radar for the longest fucking time, im so happy hes become something of a mainstream and widely appreciated content creator, its more than deserved. such consistently unique and funny content, gotten me into so many dope ass niche shows, movies, games, and music. couldnt be more grateful
soon as I saw Dave and Jerry on the ends of the thumbnail, I couldn't help but watch this. Code Monkeys came out when I was goin into sophmore year of highschool. I remembered having a few laughs and quite enjoyed it in that time, I even bought the first season when it came out to dvd. Flash forward a year ago, i decided to watch it again. My thoughts for it actually changed, the humor was still there, but i felt like it was holding itself back for some reason. There were some jokes i still chuckled, but the ones i used to i just couldn't. I feel like if it were to come back, I think it would have a small chance. The references and easter eggs were nicely played out and used. But man, early 2000's for games was just bizarre. Watching this video definitely brought back memories i didn't want to remember
Yet another spectacular video from an excellent creator. The vibe and direction of these videos just keep getting better and better. You are really nailing the television style format. Keep it up!
fun fact. in a celebration of ea awards for employees they had THE ROCKAFIRE EXPLOSION TO ANNOUNCE THE AWARDS AND PREFORM FOR THEM IN THEIR OFFICE. and no ea dosent own their own show. they just asked arron fector (creator of the animatronic band) to bring his portable show to there. the same show that was in the "fuck you" live preformance

I've been listening to the Code Monkey opening for years without knowing that it was a show that existed. A fun fact for those who may not know. The opening to Code Monkey is performed by Jonathan Coulton who also did the closing songs for Portal and Portal 2.
Code Monkeys deserves another chance!
Great episode! Thanks!
I loved code monkeys but it would need reworked to be a hit today.
Honestly, the type of humour in Code Monkeys gives me this feeling of nostalgia
Totally
Code Monkeys deserves its own video from this channel funniest bit is the creator was correct about his show being viewed on RUclips or some other platform
Grandmas boy is a cinematic masterpiece
This and talladega nights the 2000s was a good place for comedy at that time(except the adams sandler movies).
Code monkeys will always be one of my favorite G4 shows.
Early 2000s did alot cool stuff for video games. Disney tried to do that in the 2010s but they failed miserably
Out of them all, Code Monkeys is what I’m most familiar with. Saw it on Netflix and thought that it looked neat.
8:55 Also I agree with your outrage. Though imagine a world where Kirby Air Ride won
It was on Netflix?! When?
Code Monkeys was so fun. I remember when new episodes were coming out on G4
You finally did it! You did the Code Monkeys review! Just like what we were talking about at South Texas Comic Con. I'm glad you understand how hard pixel art is because pixel art doesn't rotate like that. As a game designer, I've spent hours trying to get every pixel right. I work with 32-bit sprites and I have to keep everything else in scale. Also, having Larrity show up was hilarious, I hope you keep doing it. He accurately represents Texas, unfortunately.
The chick in the intro is Lei Fang btw
The 2000s, the era of drunk frat-boys.
I don't remember ever watching Code Monkeys, yet this video triggered a vivid memory of hearing the whole theme song on TV as a kid.
I got through 40 minutes of this video before I realized it was a 40 minute video. That’s pretty good Pan
Ah, the good ol' Video Game Awards.
I remember the 2006 show, where Kingdom Hearts 2 only won a single award out of two nominations.
It was Best Supporting Female Performance, and it was cuz of Tifa who only had like a handful of lines.
Ya might as well have given the award to her appearance in Advent Children.
tifa, of all characters? she only shows up for, what, one or two cutscenes?
@@PixelRoserade Five cutscenes. Outside of cutscenes we got optional text dialogue while exploring, a combat section with her during the big midgame Hollow Bastion Heartless invasion, and a couple matches with her in the Underdrome coliseum's Paradox Cups.
Out of all of that, only four of the cutscenes and the one combat section aren't optional cuz her last scene is after you beat the Sephiroth superboss.
And in terms of story role she's more part of Cloud's subplot if anything. Her whole role is basically just lookin for Cloud which is where the Seph superboss comes in for that plot to be wrapped.
The most she did as a supporting role in the main plot outside of the one combat section I mentioned is just move a portrait which is more cuz of her "looking for Cloud" thing.
@@cillbipher2613 ah, right. i forgot. it's been a hot minute since i've played II, so my memory regarding cutscenes is a little foggy.
God that fall out boy segment made me laugh so hard
I want Very Miyamoto to be a meme
Ah, the Nintendo Fusion Tour, that brings me back. Missed like 2 bands waiting in line to play Twilight Princess, but the line was capped with my friend and I at the end, so being the last to play made it pretty memorable.
Great video!
Staying up late to watch Fresh Baked Videogames and Gamehead felt really special. It was stuff from "my" world on basic cable framed as something manly and cool. Plus they introduced me to Mega64, so that's pretty nice.
YES! I've been waiting for this video, G4 was a major part of my childhood (specifically code monkeys) excited to watch the full thing
Finally someone bringing up code monkeys in the modern day
Imagine Nintendo holding a concert and somebody out in the lobby is talking to Fallout Boy about felching
that andrew wk VGA clip randomly popped into my head last night, so i think it’s safe to say that was a warning of things to come
Both Code Monkeys and Grandma's Boy I stumbled across in the early 2010s. CM i found while scrolling throw Netflix in the early summer of 2013. And GB, my grandmother had it on dvd. I don't know why a 70 yo woman had it. It was one of the man dvds I was given after she passed away.
They're not great, but I enjoy the hell outta them. My favorite quote in Grandma's Boy when Alex shouts "Jeff's a fucking liar, Timmy"!
The 2000 was good old days were i literally tore through magazines either at my library or stores , and when my parents caved and got me a nintendo power subscription. The magazines back in the day had the best ads, comics, and random games i kept imagining myself playing someday.
FINALLY A NEW REBELTAXI VIDEO, also have you ever talked about a Ps1 game called Slap Happy Rhythm Busters on this channel? Its a pretty fun game
Someday, it's style is perfect for me
Man code monkey was amazing.
Code Monkeys is still one of my favorite shows ever. I was definitely too young to be watching it but it holds a special place in my heart
If you do another episode, you should try Game Over (2004). It was this weird little 3d animated family sitcom set in the video game world with patrick warburton as the dad character. It only had 6 episodes but it might be worth a look into.
He did talk about it briefly in a 2016 video. I think it was top ten biggest rip offs/coincidences.
How, In the 9 hells, did you do Big T’s Larrity’s voice!? And ALSO, how did you get Dean’s voice and Jerry’s voice?!
And, I did NOT know that Dean and Jerry’s voices were ALSO the Art Directors!
Also, I’d LOVE to have you as my game’s character designer!
I was not aware of how bad the bullying towards Japanese devs of JRPGs was. I saw clips from back then of Adam Sessler just dogging on this Japanese dude for making JRPGs, and the hate has gotten to be so bad that even the term JRPG is becoming taboo in Japan. As a fan of them myself, seeing companies move away from that style of game to stop the bullying is very fucking depressing. If you hate JRPGs, that's fine. Don't hate on an entire nationality for making them, and don't play them. Nobody fucking cares about you. Just stop insulting people and disguising it as opinions.
What's even worse is that when Adam was confronted over it he doubled down over the "jokes" he made
It's honestly still a high level of disrespect these days from Localizers.
They treat the Japanese devs as if they're horrific monsters that need their work purged and rewritten for being anathema to "Decency" and will completely change dialogue to insert their own ideas or change the whole thing.
The way the localizers and their sycophants react to people that try to mod games to be more accurate to the dev's vision is just insane, it's so absurdly xenophobic and dehumanizing.
@@katlicks When the evil localizers say you can't put the 3000 year old dragon loli in a string bikini 😭
Adam sessler is a complete dickhead period.
This, is why I’m happy I watched RUclips for gaming videos all my life instead of watching crap, on tv by complete posers.
@@bunni2583 Bro thats retarded
The emotions that I felt when I heard Jerry and Dave from code monkeys for the first time in years cannot be expressed. I remember coming across it on netflix in middle school and my sense of humor was never the same.
Edgy gamer shows, classic 2000s.
I thought I was the only person that remembered Code Monkeys for a second lmao
Felt like I just encountered a really cool looking cryptid the moment I saw Gerard Way
Man I loved Code Monkeys it made working in the video games industry and having a mentally unstable boss seem like a blast!
25:55 "Did you remember to TiVo Samurai Jack?"
Uh...I don't think it was ever on TV in 2005 or 2006. It didn't even air on Boomerang at that time, you can only get it on season sets in DVD. CN really aired the last few episodes on Toonami in September of 2004 and completely scrubbed it off the air.
Nah, reruns still aired until like 2007/2008. You know what's weirder than that? 2 dudes watching Jackie Chan Adventures in 1080p widescreen format in 2010 in Better Call Saul.
@@Max25670 Ah, but that was AFTER Grandma's Boy.
37:20 The license plate is "Pardu" which has many RL references, but the most famous as a not-D&D character from Tom Hank's "Mazes and Monsters" where RPGs make Tom Hanks go crazy and murder people.
OOOOH yeah, love that crazy movie
Love these gaming on tv vids, the DXP, E3 and MTV video mods are some of my favorite rebeltaxi videos
I hope this covers that one CN show Level Up from the early 2010s. I love this content thanks pan
It had Code Monkeys it blew my expectations away
30:15 that is SO Charlie from Hazbin saying "bitch"
I LOVE Code Monkeys and I'm so glad you enjoyed it too. Most of my humor comes from this show, Venture Bros, and other things of the early 00s
Back when games had more hype and were more fun. They had a culture kinda lifestyle to it
I miss it so much.
Someone out there has kept the Code Monkeys fanbase floating around
Yep, this is definitely a time capsule period
2:00 the easter egg of you calling him Bert Chrysler is just one of the many reasons you make goated content... I regret being such a big fan of Code Monkeys
I love how the chick doing the IGN review knew they didn't give a crap and just went along with it.
Yeah it's cringey but it's way more interesting and enjoyable than the kind of stuff we see in the gaming space now.
"its better than pixels"
-sold.
Man, it was one of those moments, heck I wasn't too aware with most of this content, but here goes.
But damn, it was quite a time in the era of edge and over the top humor for the extreme market.
Their isn’t enough people on RUclips talking about fever dream type media. I saw code monkeys on the thumbnail and thought “Jesus Christ it WAS real!”
30:02 Not entirely true, 16-bit games could do sprite rotation, but it was very limited. Mid-gen Genesis games like Gunstar heroes and Pugsy had to pull visual trickery to make sprite rotation seem believable, while earlier Snes games like Actraiser and Contra 3 had rotating maps between levels and cutscenes, both pre-dating the Super FX chip.
man i cant believe ive been watching pan pizza for nearly a decade. he was so under the radar for the longest fucking time, im so happy hes become something of a mainstream and widely appreciated content creator, its more than deserved. such consistently unique and funny content, gotten me into so many dope ass niche shows, movies, games, and music. couldnt be more grateful
Omg! I thought that Code Monkey song was just a random song for that WOW mv. All of it just instantly came back to me!!!
I watched the entirety of code monkeys on netflix... WITH MY WII!
soon as I saw Dave and Jerry on the ends of the thumbnail, I couldn't help but watch this. Code Monkeys came out when I was goin into sophmore year of highschool. I remembered having a few laughs and quite enjoyed it in that time, I even bought the first season when it came out to dvd. Flash forward a year ago, i decided to watch it again. My thoughts for it actually changed, the humor was still there, but i felt like it was holding itself back for some reason. There were some jokes i still chuckled, but the ones i used to i just couldn't. I feel like if it were to come back, I think it would have a small chance. The references and easter eggs were nicely played out and used. But man, early 2000's for games was just bizarre. Watching this video definitely brought back memories i didn't want to remember
Yet another spectacular video from an excellent creator. The vibe and direction of these videos just keep getting better and better. You are really nailing the television style format. Keep it up!
Jessica Chobot explaining gay sex terms to Fall Out Boy is a fucking cursed event that happened
fun fact. in a celebration of ea awards for employees they had THE ROCKAFIRE EXPLOSION TO ANNOUNCE THE AWARDS AND PREFORM FOR THEM IN THEIR OFFICE. and no ea dosent own their own show. they just asked arron fector (creator of the animatronic band) to bring his portable show to there. the same show that was in the "fuck you" live preformance
