My brother was a video game whiz, the kind who'd sit there and figure out the special moves and combos on his own. He figured out Toasty and it made me laugh so hard the first time I fell off the couch. Surrealist nonsense humour is my favourite. So my brother would do a bunch of Toasties in a row sometimes just to make me laugh. I'd like to thank the crew for that giggle, because even though my brother's gone, I'll still have that memory. RIP M.G. 1980-2021
It gave the game a little comic relief from being so damn serious all the time. Tbh when I first saw "toasty" as a kid on the arcade, it made me think it was kinda cool to have a little humor in an over-the-top dark martial art game. Great work from the MK team. Classics never Die.
@@ninjasquidkamer7440 so what? doom is full of blood and it's pretty goofy as well. and there are 100s of gore schlock horror movies lol. MK is pretty much a silly kung fu movie.
It's amazing that feeling of realizing just how weird it is. I grew up on the Mortal Kombats so anything done in those games was normal. But when you think, a VS combat game, and this face of a random guy that slides in from the side right in the middle of a fight...
We were kids though. So to us it was random and funny and just as random and funny as Nickelodeon shows used to be like the Adventures of Pete and Pete.
@@sonsauvage Straight up, Wastelands from MK 2 kills it and imho is the best MK soundtrack that was ever made. Some dark Martial arts shit is going down in that song
From when I used to game on the mega drive I always thought it was whoopsie. Even though I now know it’s toasty, whoopsie is still the only thing I hear.
zamardii12 mk9 had babalities 🔥 hopefully x or future Mortal Kombats do as well. Just don’t want them to get too goofy again and end up how in a rough spot like they were during the 3/4 days
I don't think I understood what he was saying when I was a child, but I'm sure it was Scorpion's "alternate" Fatality in MK2 that got me "Ah, it was Toasty"
Dan Forden is a fuckin legend,anybody that grew up in the 90's with Mortal Kombat knows that.Dr. Dre, Dan Forden,Yuzo Koshiro and many other game music composers are the reason i wanted to learn about music composition .Peace everybody.
@@theactualplayer2574 Sadly I never pursued it seriously, life and paying my rent and bills got in the way. Now I'm trying to learn Unity and game music on my free time. Good luck with your ambitions.
He actually does say that, along with many other one-liners, such as "Frosty," "Crispy," and of course, "TOASTY!" In Mortal Kombat 4, Forden had a paricular line for Socrpion's flamethrower fatality that went, "TOASTY in 3D!"
Nobody in the OG MK development team can talk about, "Toasty" without laughing. Dan can barely get through this without smiling at the start. Thought we were going to need a 5 minute break to laugh it all out again. MK is so wholesome at its roots. We need more coverage on Matt Booty!
Dan Forden's sound design in MK2 was absolutely legendary. Still my favorite sound design in any fighting game ever, and maybe in any video game ever. The sound effects, music, atmosphere, bass, everything came together perfectly in that entry.
It depends on the game, but it often happens after a combo or an uppercut. Also, if you're playing as Sub-Zero in Trilogy and you get your opponent down to a sliver of health (where it says "danger") and then freeze them, Dan will pop out and say "Frosty!"
I always thought he was like "Oops! hehehehe.." Like a guy that got on camera that wasn't supposed too. Mainly because of my big brother, who basically said that is what he did. You know I was at that age where you believe everything your big brother tells you... Plus I had the genesis version of MK3, so the sound wasn't fully understandable.
I remember people said that the first MK game was made purely for fun that Ed Boon added Reptile without the team knowing. Then Tobias also wants in on it too.
When I first read about it in Game Informer Magazine, Dan Forden was first introduced as the "Whoopie Man". Ever since then, I've always thought he said "Whoopie!"
That toasty scared the crap out of me and my friend back when we were 4-years old playing MK Trilogy on the PS1. We had no clue who this guy was and what he said, but we felt like we did something really wrong for him to show up like that, lmao.
Toasty should always appear in the games. Just like Frosty and Crispy. A lot of us thought he said "Whoopsie" back then. Maybe they should do that as well. But instead of happening when it's an uppercut, it should happen when an opponent trips somebody and every once in a while, he will say "Whoospie". xD
Only if you grew up in the 80's (or earlier, to be fair) could you truly appreciate how ground breaking MK was from a graphical perspective. We were used to 16-bit cartoons (think Mario), so out of nowhere comes this game that looks photo-realistic...as kids, our minds were blown.
So true, the first time I ever witnessed MK was in an arcade, it was Scorpion vs Rayden(sic) - first thing that blew me away was the photorealism of the fighters, then the sound of the punching and kicking impacts, then Scorpion impaling the Rayden character(who seemed to somehow be made of electricity) with a harpoon followed by "Get Over Here!" and an uppercut - all accompanied by the OTT blood - 13 year old me was hypnotised - this game was so freaking cool, and the fight ended with "Finish Him!" Scorpion uppercutting Rayden off the Pit into the spikes with the impaled heads etc. - I was sold, best damn video game in history circa 1992. And of course MKII stepped it up a notch in 1993 😁
I got nascar ‘99 for the n64. I decided one day that I was going to jam into my buddy who was playing against me right at the start. I jam up his car and ran it into the wall. He burst into a flame and this cat poked his head out from the side and said, “Toasteeeee!” He’s never lived that down.
What a lot of people don't realize is just how much of the developers personality and humor is in the first 4 arcade games in particular, Dan was obviously in charge of everything sound related (music, voices, sfx), so everything you hear in the classic MK games is 100% his work, but what most people don't know is that he also voice acted, in fact, in every game until Deception, the entire voice "cast" was basically developers & artists.
That's good ol fashion friendly taunting in one of the greatest generations ever....these days kids are real real mean and hatred with their taunting....horrible time to grow up now.....man I miss the 80s and 90s....don't know what u miss until it's gone
"Ok, this is what we are gonna do, we gonna put your face in the game and it's gonna says Toasty. I am like: Okay?" I love how this idea is weird for him. It is a battle game and adding Toasty is just a good punch of humor! We have Friendship but still.
In the past decade I've heard several people quote and misquote _TOASTYY_ in perfect tone without having any idea of its origins. Undoubtedly internet culture had a hand it that but it's still a testimony to the iconic nature of this little bit of in-game humor.
I think when I first saw that happen in MK 2, I frankly had no idea what it was, but apparently someone somewhere thought it was enough of a trope to put it in the game. I didn't know if it came from fan support of MK 1 or what, but I accepted that it came from somewhere. No idea it was just the sound designer and someone's idea to just slap it in there. It's interesting to see how things originate.
yeah ... I just discovered the "toasty!" thing , why in decades i never knew of this it is beyond me , i was showing my nephew the "old" mortal kombat II on the genesis as i still have the cart and it popped up , it surprised me because I did not know it was a thing.
The toasty thing only happens in the game every once in a while when you do an uppercut or when the opponent does it to you, that's why you didn't know about it until then. It's probably because you haven't played the game long enough to get it to happen.
So did many of us. The audio quality wasn't amazing... so in a lot of systems the 't' was a tad garbled. (to be honest, I always felt whoopsie fit better than toasty)
I haven't play the old mortal kombat when I was four up to six thought this dude said whoopsie really all these years I thought he said whoopsie but really he said toasty!!! Why can it be whoopsie!!! When a player makes a wrong moves got hit with uppercut the man said whoopsie but toasty really whoopsie sound better with that types of moves.
I never knew it was "toasty". It was so random. You had everyone in the hood yelling that. People would fight and people would make the sound effect during. This was way before worldstar. If there were camera phones back then you would see endless videos of people making that sound effect during fights.

His character will be Nedrof Nad
@@youwayo Dan Forden spelled backwards. Nice.
If the opponent is frozen, the he says “Frosty!” And if beyond toasty, it’s “crispy”. Frostality and Crispality
Yes
He would be OP, which also rhymes with toasty 😂

"Okay. Why?"
"Trust me, it'll be _hilarious."_

An amazing composer. One of the best in the business! I have already re-recorded dozens of his tracks in a new sound. Who knows what he's doing now?

Yep
no
Yeah that's what I thought it was for the longest too XD
Only to your broken ears

I always yelled "TOASTY!!!" at my school and they thought I'm crazy.
I WANT THOSE ARCADES!
Me too.
I'm sure you can buy one if you got the resources. I'd love to get that MK 3..
Man can you believe that this man is still very well recognized all because of one word: TOASTY!
Best documentary ever. One of the greatest mysteries of my childhood has been resolved.
I wish MK X was more funny with the friendships, babalities, and stuff like this.
Yeh selfie and the nut punching from the cage family was funny but man its really getting gory as fuck
+zamardii12 they might do in the next round of updates
Nah...
zamardii12 mk9 had babalities 🔥 hopefully x or future Mortal Kombats do as well. Just don’t want them to get too goofy again and end up how in a rough spot like they were during the 3/4 days
i always loved the goofiness of mk2. i wondered why they hadn't brought back friendships or babalities in the others.
This man is the reason you found and fought smoke in Mortal Kombat II.
This whole time i thought he said whopsie
^ whoopsie ;)
+Mark Woollon I like whopsie better
weird because as a kid pre internet days i always knew it was toasty
That was mandela effect of me too to hear whopsie instead of toasty
I don't think I understood what he was saying when I was a child, but I'm sure it was Scorpion's "alternate" Fatality in MK2 that got me "Ah, it was Toasty"

that should be in Mortal Kombat X
Hopefully it will. Dan Forden and Ed Boon think it's hilarious, so it probably will be. Not to mention, fans enjoy the easter agg
I think everyone should tweet Ed Boon the moment they see this comment, so that he would know to put toasty in MKX
TOASTY!!!
Nel Ortiz TOASTY
That be awesome.
I always thought he was like "Oops! hehehehe.."
Like a guy that got on camera that wasn't supposed too.
Mainly because of my big brother, who basically said that is what he did.
You know I was at that age where you believe everything your big brother tells you...
Plus I had the genesis version of MK3, so the sound wasn't fully understandable.
I always thought he was saying "whoopsies" like he stepped in front of the camera accidentally.
The Mortal Kombat franchise(particularly 1,2,and 3) had THE best hidden gems of any game.
toasty should pop up somewhere in this video lmao, I always thought he was saying "whoopsie" like one of the players was messing up or something lo
I thought it was whoopsie as well
me 3

I always thought it was johnny cage's face coming up on the side of the screen. lol
David3188col i never got a clear view of his face. it was always too fast.
toasty in MK11 would be cool
Congrats, he made it in
Mortal kombat 2 has so many secrets that still in the game we haven't seen yet
I love the arcades on the back, yisus, so many memories
Whatttttttttttt I thought it was Whoopsie
lol i always thought that too
When you do Scorpion's fatality in MK2, ↓↓↑↑HP, you not only hear him say "Toasty!", but it says onscreen, in blinking text, "TOASTY !!".
sarachikorita He says it in mk4 too.
David Outlaw really i thought it was pretty obvious that it was toasty
David Outlaw I remember watching ridiculonous and he said "taosty" and rob derdek said whoopsie and I was just so fucking mad
That toasty scared the crap out of me and my friend back when we were 4-years old playing MK Trilogy on the PS1. We had no clue who this guy was and what he said, but we felt like we did something really wrong for him to show up like that, lmao.

All this time I thought he was saying whoopsie wow you learn something new every day
That´s actually interesting after all these years.
One of the best (if not the best) running gag in video game history. Along with the Konami Code.
Dan Forden belongs in the Hall of Fame
Only if you grew up in the 80's (or earlier, to be fair) could you truly appreciate how ground breaking MK was from a graphical perspective. We were used to 16-bit cartoons (think Mario), so out of nowhere comes this game that looks photo-realistic...as kids, our minds were blown.

hahaha thanks for sharing. I know exactly what you mean. Man, what a time that was.
It actually scared the hell outta me when he exclaimed “Toasty!” in the games.
I know right, that crap scared me as kid most of the time bcuz of how randomly it would appear
haha, first time i heard toasty on mk i was stoned, and absolutely pissed myself!
Mortal Kombats signature sense of humor is a huge part of the package.
...arrright
I'm a little disappointed that this is only a 50 second video instead of a 50 minute documentary, but at least I know who tf that guy is now. 😂
I got nascar ‘99 for the n64. I decided one day that I was going to jam into my buddy who was playing against me right at the start. I jam up his car and ran it into the wall. He burst into a flame and this cat poked his head out from the side and said, “Toasteeeee!”
He’s never lived that down.
It doesn't even sound like "whoopsie".
Buzz-Duh Well, yeah, in hindsight it doesn't.
Buzz-Duh Yes, yes it does.
yeah even when i was a 12 year old kid pre internet days i could tell it was toasty.
these whoopsie folk must be a special kind of stupid.
there is no "t" in whoopsie,...
And ever since, it's been a staple into the game. Well done.
What a lot of people don't realize is just how much of the developers personality and humor is in the first 4 arcade games in particular, Dan was obviously in charge of everything sound related (music, voices, sfx), so everything you hear in the classic MK games is 100% his work, but what most people don't know is that he also voice acted, in fact, in every game until Deception, the entire voice "cast" was basically developers & artists.

Dude im rollin
This popped up in my head today and I had to look it up and here it is
All toasters toast toast
Don't all toasters toast bread..? I'm looking too far into it, haha.
And all roasters roast roast.
You toast bread. If you toast toast, you're just double-toasting something that was already toasted, lol.
In the past decade I've heard several people quote and misquote _TOASTYY_ in perfect tone without having any idea of its origins. Undoubtedly internet culture had a hand it that but it's still a testimony to the iconic nature of this little bit of in-game humor.
i always thought toasty was whoopsie
me too
YaBoiBryan Lol omg me too
YaBoiBryan Lol hoopdee
I thought it was frosty
He actually did say "Frosty" but that was only in Mortal Kombat 3.
Toasty is one of my favorites memories from my childhood games with friends..
He's such a comedian

Always will be classic 😅

i never even played the game, and i knew it was Toasty. there is no T in whoopsie.
I always thought he was saying, "Whoopsie" 😂😂😂
Origin of a meme?
And now my two decade old question has been answered. Thank you.
I haven't play the old mortal kombat when I was four up to six thought this dude said whoopsie really all these years I thought he said whoopsie but really he said toasty!!! Why can it be whoopsie!!! When a player makes a wrong moves got hit with uppercut the man said whoopsie but toasty really whoopsie sound better with that types of moves.
I dont care what anyone says. It's whoopsie, not "toasty".
Getting a toasty for an uppercut was always satisfying.
30 second ad for a 50 second vid.
Sounds rad.
30-something years later... And its still cool...
Glad they put it in, is quality
Ive always wondered where that sound effect came from and now i know...
Toasty is my notification sound
When I was a kid, always thought he said whoopsie
I don't know why but i always thought he was saying whoopsie
Awesome
OMG 17 years after I meet this guy! Amazing
I never really thought about how odd it was to just casually pop up on the screen like that lol
He should be the mascot for Quizno's because their slogan is "Mmmm...toasty!"
As a kid I always thought it was Whoopsie.
