O'rite mate, what's the secret ending? Canny find it anywhere. Ah I was telling porkies, I found it on t'web, just wait 15 mins at the mayors office when you're sat in the chair at the start
@@c5cha7 It's not massively different or anything, just the way you get it is quite funny, and there's a joke that you otherwise don't see (plus there's a hidden achievement for it). Stay in the chair in the mayor's office at the start for like 10-15 minutes instead of leaving to explore the town (you might be able to get off the chair, I'm not sure, I stayed on the chair). *Edit* Oh there you go, you edited while I was posting haha.
It seems to be a case of malicious compliance with him quite literally giving the mole the stick to beat the gardener with. He's frowning for the prison section because even if the chief is stuck in that pole he's still doing what he asked by beating the crook, unlike him actively rebelling with the gardener.
It's actually kind of unsettling how as the song progresses he not only starts to become more upset and frowns more but actively begins to try and escape each of the situations he has been forced into.
ermmm, anyone think this is kind of eerie or /r/oddlyunsettling? thinking this might be a new form of /r/analoghorror...going to post this to /r/creepyhorrorthatwillmakeyouneversleep
I love this bit. He's so worn down by his job. This is literally his job. Doing menial tasks with no gratitude in return. You can see framed pictures of the employee of the month in the opening scene of the game, and he's losing hair rapidly.
That's not even his job, he was just supposed to meet with the mayor and get out of there. If you wait in the chair long enough he just invites you in. He 100% brought it on himself.
I haven't seen anyone else talk about the memorial to "bobby oddjobs" in the park, and rip bobby written in several places. I wonder if he used to do all these jobs that our little guy has to do
The beginning kinda sad, you can see he’s happy to just relax and have a meal after going around everywhere but then the mood drains from his face realizing they wanted him to do it now getting dragged everywhere to help with problems they could take care of themselves.
Since you can just wait for the Mayor at the start of the game, and he asks for what's just a simple request for mustard, i like to think that the canon sequence of events is The Salesman waiting for the mayor, helping him out with his issue easily (especially because Mayor looks like us for some reason so i kinda expect him to have some degree of common sense, as opposed to the rest of Barnsworth.) and then proceeding to help out the rest of the town.
I mean, tbh, the meal served to him is an expired breakfast soup which was previously drenched in a sickman's blanket, then leaked into the dirty subfloor and seeped through the below ceiling and walls. Not a very rewarding meal, I'd say.
@@Grundrisse yeah but more so the point he’s happy to get a break with the promise of a meal to then look surprised/disappointed when they drop the bomb wanting him to just fix the clock. He cant just have a normal interaction he always has to help someone because they dont want to do it themselves (well most of them anyways)
Moral of the story: know when to say "no" to people who take advantage of your kindness. Of course, that should not stop you from showing kindness to others. Edit: Wow! Over 3k likes. Thanks again, everyone!
@@theonetruedoggo4808 For example, the meat grinder guy’s controls are spinning the controls in a circle to grind the meat. The lights on his glasses are spinning to show that
This game really does feel like the english equivalent of that japanese consider it game, where it shows off the darker side of their respective culture of politeness with this game showing off the main character being taken advantage of because of his politeness while consider it is more about not standing up for yourself and joining the herd mentality
As someone who hates England because my ex-girlfriend, who screwed me up mentally for years, was British and lived there. I can say yes, NEVER GO TO ENGLAND
I dont quite have the words for it and I'm sure the developer intended it mostly in the name of comedy (like the rest of the game), but doing this particular sequence in a video game is so fascinating to me. Regardless of the game, it's always up to the player to solve problems. You could essentially boil the entire medium down to solving a long series of problems. Having characters take advantage of that is unique.
I actually found out that if you do nothing (or not enough) during each segment of the player helping each resident, extra lines are unlocked, and in the case of the single-line demands at the end, they start getting repeated until you fulfil them! e.g. the fish shop owner saying "Come on lad, you're much too slow, give this cod another go!" e.g. the fish shop owner saying "How am I supposed to sell, a fish that's still alive and well?" e.g. the truck driver saying "I can scarcely drive my truck, if I can't see through all this muck!" e.g. the truck driver saying "Look a this, an awful mess! My wife has left me, I'm depressed!" e.g. Florence from the supermarket saying "A woman's work is never done." and then the PA saying "Cleanup please on aisle one!" e.g. Marge from the chip shop saying "Where've you been you silly sod? Chopping chippies is your job!" e.g. Marge from the chip shop saying "There you are you little dip! A chippy choppy choppy chip!"
Oh thank you so much for sharing some variants! I haven't had chance to play it a fourth time yet to see some of these. I love all of them but "There you are you little dip! A chippy choppy choppy chip!" is peak. 😅
@@TheRealBatabii It refuses to repeat from what I remember, so once it exhausts all the rhymes it has for a "section" it'll switch to the next set of rhymes (sections being like when it changes from a full clock to a tapes up clock type thing)
I I realize the transition animates based on what you need to do (head bobs when you need to press the button, glasses/hook spins when you need to rotate, head goes side to side when you need to move back and forth, etc.)
With the main character going faster and faster, things becoming weirder and him wanting to escape the town folks more and more, idk why, but i'm getting "don't hug me i'm scared vibes"
I think this song has more lines than what I got in my play through. Maybe if you don’t do it right it ends quicker? I didn’t slice the bread the first go around- still pressing buttons
i think the more you miss the song gets different at the end, i dont own the game but i did see jacksepticeye's playthrough and it was different because he had to repeat the first bit for not getting it right
When i was replaying the game, everything stopped just before the final verse with the guy in the nightcap whilst the instrumental played in the background and i just kept on bashing on the glass.
So many alternate lines; there's probably more. There needs to be a version made where all the takes are mastered into a single "song" version. Hoping they release an OST or something with that.
I've still never seen DHMIS (I think I really need to) but absolutely yes re LoG. Felt like a (slightly) more family friendly version of that in places.

@@boomkittyFX I'm gonna do a replay this week and try to find out, then upload it! Apparently it makes the song fully different but I'm curious how.
Everybody talking about how he gets sadder, but nobody's talking about how he becomes happy if he hits the gardener lol
It seems to be a case of malicious compliance with him quite literally giving the mole the stick to beat the gardener with. He's frowning for the prison section because even if the chief is stuck in that pole he's still doing what he asked by beating the crook, unlike him actively rebelling with the gardener.
It seems The Saleman thinking he's gonna dislike the gardener already.
That rhymed

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed. That mole was pretty much one of the only things in that town who didn't need you as some errand boy.
Love how the gardener says :"Give that filthy mole the stick!" and you end up giving the mole the stick, *literally.*
