I love love LOVE the misdirection in Haunting of castle Malloy. Did Matt get cold feet and run? Is he playing a silly little prank? no. SURPRISE JETPACK GRANDMA
In Carousel, if you get the Easter egg and then take it to the arcade games and click it in the corner of screen, Nancy's phone rings and it's from past Nancy from MHM. Past Nancy asks current Nancy where the key to attic is and she let's her know it's in the cash register drawer in basement. Then Nancy calls Nancy awesome before hanging up. It's soooo weeeiiirddd!
Okay can we talk about Samantha Quick knowing Ned in Phantom of Venice?? Or that super old guy remembering Jake Hurley's puzzle in the diner like WTF WHAT IF JOE DIDN'T WANT A CHEESEBURGER!?
Me! I'm the person who's never played a Nancy Drew game. I've watched some people stream a cowboy one (shadow ranch I think?) but other than that, I'm here exclusively because I saw this video in my recommended and I love unhinged content. Great video very fun :)
The pendulum is in Waverly, because it's a reference to Edgar Allen Poe's short story "The Pit and the Pendulum," in which the narrator describes his experiences being tortured during the Spanish Inquisition. This includes being strapped to a table as a pendulum swings above him, which he narrowly escapes after rats eat his bonds, freeing him. That lady who founded the school was truly an unhinged stan for including that in her floor plans. My favorite unhinged moment is definitely dancing in a cat suit for money. It's been 15 years or more, and I'm still baffled/scandalized. I mean, _painting masks for Carnivale as a means of earning money was right there._
I'm aware of the story I just don't understand why they built it into a girls' school! Truly unhinged stan behaviour. Painting masks for Carnivale would have been so cool and fun omg!
I just found your channel and I’m obsessed!! I know you ranked them all already but I’d love to see a best & worst character in each game video! Also hoping you do a play through of warnings at Waverly soon!
Aww I'm glad! I'm definitely planning to do a Best & Worst character video! And a Warnings at Waverly Academy playthrough, but unfortunately I'm playing through the games in alphabetical order now (I wanted to play them in some order other than chronological) so unfortunately I won't get to it for quite a while :/ Hopefully I'll stream it soon tho!
And the fact that she finds a full bottle of this really rare and valuable alcohol there that she is specifically looking for? What are the chances!! But yeah I would NOT want to go swimming in that water lol
I’d say for Ghost Dogs, the unhinged thing is Red being very vague when asking Nancy if she can take pictures 🙃😂 like we knowwww it’s birds he wants, but the context of the modern world upon replays definitely makes it sound like he’s asking for ‘illicit’ photos at first
The snowmen in my opinion are the most unhinged in all ND history. I feel like people don’t think enough about this. This is the Nancy Drew universe, not Frozen. There simply cannot be snowmen squawking. And who built so many snowmen? When I played the game I thought it was a screech sound that the snowmobile was making. But the herinteractive employees confirm that it’s the snowmen and think it’s a funny, cute addition. I just 😱 ⛄️
YES I'm glad I'm not the only one who's kept up at night thinking about those poor snowmen. And you're right there's literally an army of them....terrifying
also (imho) the option to LET PEOPLE DIE at the end of Thorton hall is so unhinged. Like you can do fewer puzzles by letting people die. that's an option for the player.
how could you forget the brown blob thing that scurries by the workshop in Thornton Hall?? What even was it? I never hear anyone talk about it and I think of it all the time
MR SKINBAG!! I love him! Idk if you've been watching my recent Ghost of Thornton Hall let's play, but stay tuned for him to make an appearance in the next episode!
Ok I just found this video and I have to add something that will make Hotchkiss eating all that chicken even more unhinged. You say she got 50 chicken wings. In the US context, when she says ‘50 drumsticks’ she is referring to chicken legs separated from the thigh. So even more chicken for one person to eat lol.
I have to add something interesting!! So Bernie the alligator loving marshmallows isn’t actually all that unhinged! I actually go to New Orleans a few times a year to visit family and that’s actually a big thing down there! So it’s less unhinged and more culturally accurate! Now one could argue that it’s relatively unhinged for people in New Orleans to just feed alligators marshmallows as a pastime….
Hi. You allude, in your intro, to how hilarious it would be to expose someone unfamiliar with the Nancy Drew games to all of these unhinged moments, and I am pleased to say that I am about to be one of those people. Other than the controversial twist in Seven Ships (I think that’s what it’s called, lol - the “deleted” game) the twist in Castle Malloy, and the “Nancy’s Mom is a spy” concept, I am going into this video blind to these stories and what occurs within them, having gathered my basic Nancy Drew knowledge from a brief video essay, a couple of your other tier lists, and a playthrough of Castle Malloy. I’ll let you know which unhinged moments surprised me the most in a follow-up comment. In the meantime, thank you for helping to induct me into this fascinating world of old-school gaming.
As promised, my follow-up comment documenting my picks for the most insane moments described in this video: - “Sitting on the mummy and not being discovered for 600 years” is the craziest one of them all to me. I’m genuinely unsure what that means or why that would be in a game, let alone in Nancy Drew. I had to rewind the video twice to try and comprehend the meaning of the words you were saying, and even now, I’m not certain I interpreted them correctly. - “The creature of Capu Cave is actually bugs performing a mating ritual” definitely made me question the kind of series I am getting into. - “The snowman screaming in agony” feels straight out of a bad creepypasta. - “The sexy catsuit,” because of course. - “The banshee is a senile jetpacking orphan” was one I already knew about, but it’s still utterly absurd. I don’t get why this was the plotline they settled for. - “Getting revenge on your ex by becoming a manager at his company and then sabotaging him with a discount Frankenstein” does not logically track… at least, not in my brain. I wouldn’t try that with an ex, I’ll say that. - “Biological Terrorism” ????? So, yeah. There’s my list. Thank you for the, um, “informative” video. Can’t wait to come back to this comment in a year and recollect how naive I was.
For the first one, the idea is that Nancy suffocates to death inside a mummy's tomb and then her body isn't discovered until many, many, many years later! Absolutely wild 😆 The jetpack grandma plotline is absolutely iconic in its absurdity, within the fandom we're still asking the same question about it: why?? But I love it! Hope you enjoy the wild, unhinged ride playing the Nancy Drew games is and you enjoy all the unhinged moments I didn't mention in this video!
You're talking about gaslighting aren't you? Lol I knew someone would comment this. I literally almost made a pinned comment saying "This video is just for fun and don't take anything I say seriously" but I thought SURELY no one is going to be pedantic in the comments of a video that talks about Nancy Drew dancing in a catsuit for money...
I love love LOVE the misdirection in Haunting of castle Malloy. Did Matt get cold feet and run? Is he playing a silly little prank? no. SURPRISE JETPACK GRANDMA
"SURPRISE JETPACK GRANDMA" is killing me 🤣 What a game
I feel like the unhinged thing in DOG is Em’s weapon of choice being a literal femur, crazy cavewoman style
Omg you're so right!!!
Yesss we love a feral queen ❤
And the 2001 Space Odyssey shot of her swinging it towards Nancy's head
"Girl Dinner (Derogatory)" sounds like the title of a modern art painting
🤣🤣🤣
"It's still very pEcUlLiAr. He's in there and he's not coming out. He's just a little rat man living in the walls." Poetry.
incredible video omg and unsurprisingly my favourite unbinged moment is "it's not a banshee, it's a senile orphan on a jetpack"
Haha of course!!!!!

Oh my gosh I didn't know that! That's so wild!!!
Okay can we talk about Samantha Quick knowing Ned in Phantom of Venice?? Or that super old guy remembering Jake Hurley's puzzle in the diner like WTF WHAT IF JOE DIDN'T WANT A CHEESEBURGER!?
The world would be so much worse in so many ways if Joe hadn't wanted that cheeseburger
Me! I'm the person who's never played a Nancy Drew game. I've watched some people stream a cowboy one (shadow ranch I think?) but other than that, I'm here exclusively because I saw this video in my recommended and I love unhinged content. Great video very fun :)
Omg!! Glad to have you here!! (Also Shadow Ranch is my favourite Nancy Drew game!)
This has to be one of your best videos ever, it had me cackling
So glad you enjoyed!!
Saw this in my subscriptions and immediately sat down to watch. I love unhinged Nancy moments!

What’s even more crazy 28:58 than having Nancy dress up in her cat suit if you forget the cat ears it’s an instant game over

"Daddy Chocobucks" sent me lmaooo
This whole video is gold.
great video! one of my favorite unhinged moments is the KGB whale ending of DDI lmao
omg YES, that details is so wild lmao
swimming through the catacombs in Danger by Design is peak unhinged Nancy imo. It’s just sooo dangerous and disgusting LMAO
And the fact that she finds a full bottle of this really rare and valuable alcohol there that she is specifically looking for? What are the chances!! But yeah I would NOT want to go swimming in that water lol
I’d say for Ghost Dogs, the unhinged thing is Red being very vague when asking Nancy if she can take pictures 🙃😂 like we knowwww it’s birds he wants, but the context of the modern world upon replays definitely makes it sound like he’s asking for ‘illicit’ photos at first
So excited to watch this! I was really looking forward to this video. Your videos are the smile and relaxation I need during the day.
Awwww I'm so glad!!!! :D
How did you get a Hotchkiss emoji??
They're my emotes for channel members! @@SitaBrightwind

im laughing so hard 😭 thanks for reminding about all those crazy ass moments lmaoo
Haha my pleasure!!!
"carbon monoxide core"
One for Ghost dogs is Ranger Akers giving Nancy a citation after the shed fire
I am CACKLING about the screaming snowmen
Honorable mention to Lisa’s spicy villain spray or whatever she calls it
Omg yes that's a great one!! Wish I'd remembered it for this list! So unhinged!
also (imho) the option to LET PEOPLE DIE at the end of Thorton hall is so unhinged. Like you can do fewer puzzles by letting people die. that's an option for the player.

By the end of the video, I’d shouted no less than four quotes from you across the apartment to my fiancée, without any context. As it should be 😂
I hope your fiancée enjoyed them haha! I'm so glad you liked the video so much!!
This is so excellent!

Woah that's so cool, I never knew that! Now I definitely want to do that if/when I visit New Orleans!
Red Knott. his entire existence in Ghost Dogs. he is unhinged
The fact he camps out in a tree next to your house is just creepy 😅
Are we not going to talk about the time someone locked Nancy in a tomb with a mummy and she was pretty chill with it?
YES I’ve been waiting for this video lol
30:02 2009 Facebook profile pic taken on a flip phone core
34:30 and Nancy HAS a dead mom
Wait the snowmen are the ones screaming? I thought it was Nancy 😭
omg you might be right! my mind just went to a very very dark place lmaooo
