The cup noodles one killed me, but what made it better for me, is i took a photo of it. The problem is, at the end of the game, they make you pick a photo for an incredibly emotional moment, and it was the *only* photo i had. And at the time, they didn't let me pick anything else. So in the highly emotional ending scene, the final scene in the game, this king of all kings was staring longily at a picture of cup noodles
Beautiful.
Glorious
What is wrong with that?
This is amazing
🤣🤣🤣 please tell me you recorded that, I wanna see it
Gotta be honest, the FFXV one went so far that it wrapped back around and became genuinely hilarious
I genuinely was laughing my ass off the entire mission. It was product placement, but they definitely played it for laughs
I'm absolutely positive that was the intent. It wasn't cringe! It was hilarious, and it was hilarious on purpose!
Same I thought it was weird, but as he goes on and on I just kept laughing more. Outta nowhere, the "bad boy of the bunch" just locks you down to go on a tangent about how premium cup fn noodles are😂
The helmet was WILD tho
And if you paid attention to the pre-launch commercials as well, they even had a remake of one of the commercials in which Cup Noodles is featured heavily everywhere, including, if I remember correctly, Leviathan coming out of some Cup Noodles 😂. And you can hear the sarcasm in Gladio's voice (at least in English, I never cared to play the game in any other language). That segment wasn't cringe, it was gloriously hilarious.
Besides, around that time, the Assassin's Festival was out and we saw that Noctis geeked out WAY harder over Assassin's Creed than Gladio over Cup Noodle.
yeah it felt very deliberate to poke fun at product placement. And honestly it worked! I couldn't stop thinking about the delicious taste of Cup Noodles after! GENIUS!
Okay, but Buzz Aldrin sounds REAL, like an actual grandfather speaking too his granddaughter, and that's what MAKES the whole scene.
^
i’ve got issues w me3 (and 2) but that scene fkn slaps
100%
yeah let's not knock on Buzz Aldrin, it kicked ass.
Gameranx talking shit as usual.
I love Buzz, but his delivery was just like the Grandpa from Troll 2.
Heavy Rain could’ve taken all 10 spots and it would’ve still been a valid list
Cringe ass game 😂 did not age well
I thought it was going to be Madison's intro chapter, where she has a shower and is attacked by guys only for it to be a dream.
@@KeybladeMasterAndyhow is that cringe ☠️
Number 7 isn’t that bad imo. Buzz Aldrin. He’s literally living his twilight years. He won’t be with us much longer. So finding a way to leave his mark on one of the greatest space exploration game series in the last 20 years only makes sense. I get that he’s not a professional actor, but I found it touching.
EXACTLY
In this case I feel like they should've just do it organically. Sit him down in s recording booth with a mic in front of him and have a kid ask him questions. Cut and edit accordingly and you'll get something genuine and touching cuz it's really him saying this to a kid.
Yeah I don't see what's wrong with it. It is kind of a weird scene, but there's nothing cringe or embarassing about it.
I think the problem is that you need to know the context behind the scene to understand why it's touching. Otherwise it just sounds like a random grandpa, who obviously doesn't know how to voice act, reading random lines.
Like, sure, once you know is one of the most important people in the history of space exploration, it takes a completely new meaning.
@@Siolarty19It's cringe af
That Cup Noodles moment on FFXV reminded me of The Truman Show's scene where his wife interrupts their argument to advertise the Nicaraguan coffee.
For 2k15 a vast majority of the bad dialogue is from the actual nba players themselves. It was honestly a great idea, but you can’t expect someone who dedicated their life to be an athlete to also excel at voice acting.
We should expect them to put more effort into their halfass mumble especially when they get paid so highly.
I mean, how hard is it to put emotion in your voice lol? Do athletes not know how to talk like a normal human?
@@nono-ch8oy Some of these guys reading levels aren’t the best. Not to their fault but a failing societal issue, however that’s a different conversation. They were probably just paid to show up and go through the lines once or twice and that’s it.
Bro you ever seen an athlete commercial like can this mf even read
@@lesterbronson2385no.
#10, really goes to show why you don't underestimate voice acting. It's not just speaking into a mic, you're still acting and need to portray certain emotions through just your voice.
Yeah an athlete is already not the smartest but NBA players really can't read 😂
That cup noodle segment is hilarious.
😅
maybe if they had the main character play it straight like "what the hell are you talking about" and say "are we in an ad?"
Yea, I enjoyed it because it was so dumb.
Brought me straight to Flavor Town for the _Ultimate_ Flavor Experience.
Megaman X4 is too funny
All of Saints Row Reboot cutscenes.
The cat was the only good part of that game tbh.
Immortals of aveum the "sir" moment
Oooff
waffle maker 🤦♂️
YES 😂🤢
I've heard others scream "WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOR" before, it's good to finally see where it came from 😆
I love cringe in games. It really shows you no matter how old you get you can't unprogram social awkwardness
I don't need it to be showed again and again. I already took the hint.
@@CeceliPS3 Or did you ??? Dun duhn DUUUUH......
The kiss from sonic (2006) deserved an inclusion 💋
The fact that they combined a Final Fantasy-esque character with the Sonic universe was already weird, but anytime I see clips of that kiss, I recoil in revulsion 😂. Beastiality: it's Sega approved!
I think an entire list could be compiled entirely of Sonic games, such as when they decided to give Shadow a gun out of nowhere (you know, because he's a badass)😂
@@purplemist7that entire game was awkward
I had no issue with Buzz Aldrin’s dialogue in Mass Effect 🤷🏾♂️. He just sounded like an old man talking to his grandkid to me.
I think the cause of the issue with that one was more like inconsistent hardware setup for the recording. His voice didn't sound like it was recorded using the same settings and hardware used to record the rest of the dubbing of the game.
Yeah that was about the least of the problems with that game. Compared to picking three different colored endings that all effectively annihilated the universe and characters you loved (I know they retconned some of it later with a lame slideshow, but still), hearing Buzz was fine.
I suppose this isn't the right place to mention that the moon landing was staged?
Yeah I didn't agree with that one. At least not at 6. I mean number 10 was the cringiest of the whole list to me. Mass Effect was not worse than the NBA game.
Yeah, that was such a stretch. Never heard a single complaint about that part, and if the Mass Effect fanbase is known for anything, its complaining lol
Descent was incredible. It's got all the claustrophobic tension of a survival horror combined with fast-paced doom-like FPS shooting and mind-bending all-axis space flying gameplay. Layer on some wicked 90s sci-fi visuals and you've got a 10 outta 10. Who am I kidding, Descent IS incredible! A must play to this day.
I really liked Leliana’s song. It was the little weird things like that which really made the game memorable for me. That experience has stayed with me in ways even Witcher hasn’t.
Yeah I don’t see how the scene was cringe at all. I loved it.
Yup, disliking the Leliana's song scene is a shitty take. It's just bashing the game for being old.
@@fynnh5459well it is a little cringe to see it nowadays
Yeah I was gonna say no way he did my girl Leliana like that.
@@paulmenzie4177 Well - It's a bit unfair to compare a 14 year old game technique and engine with modern day stuff. For it's time it is a game that, although imperfect, still is better than a LOT of "modern" games. I only have to name "Gollum" and the latest "epic" Skull Island: Rise of Kong to illustrate what I mean...
As someone in the UK I never found the cup noodles thing cringe, because I didn’t realise cup noodles was a real brand 😂
Even if it wasn’t, the dialogue alone still sounded like such a forced ad. It was so fake
@@ae_sko88 I just thought it was them trying to be funny by making himself sound obsessed with pot noodles 😂
Lol I'm from America and thought the same. I can't stand Ramen noodles or pretty much any of the microwavable noodles so don't really know any of the brands.
@@jimmycarpenter6612 You can't stand one of the easiest foods to digest? 🤔
Guess you mean about the taste and mostly the cancer brainwashing part
They are from japan so yeah
In MK's defense all of that cringe sorta laid the groundwork for what it is today.
Ya missing some obvious ones:
1. FFX the forced laughing Tidus & Yuna - I have never felt so embarrassed playing a game in my life!
2. Sonic kissing a human woman
Your comment is more cringe than either of those moments.
Like Barbie and Ken mashing together... what a spot on lovely description! 😂
Nothing better then Dion Waiters mumbling into the mic for 2k15 lmao
facts 😂
There's this skit from Key and Peele where they mimic this, though the joke was about how athletes don't express anything original when being interviewed and it's always generic mumbled fluff about teamwork, working hard, playing a good defense...and those are the answers no matter what was asked 😂
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValleyto be fair what else is there to say
You forgot the best line ever uttered by any video game character ever
"that wizard came from the moon"
I don't know what this is in reference to, but I will certainly be looking it up after this video 😂
It's not a cutscenes though it's a part of in game play. Otherwise you're dead on accurate
You spoony bard!
To this day I still don't understand the over reaction to not just that line but Peter's performance in the game.
@@FestArci don't get it either. It didn't sound cringe, just meh.
i loved the cup noodle shit haha.also depending on which ingredient you pick, you go on a quest to find it. i had to raid a giant bird nest for some eggs so Gladiolus could have them with his cup noodle. it goes so beyond ridiculous that it becomes hilarious
Imagine this kind of advertisement in every game: 'and now let's just talk about noodles!' ahaha
I now remember the cup noodles thing and honestly it was so bizarre it didn’t even register with me that it was an advertisement. I thought it was some kind of dadaist humor
What I don't understand is why they have Gladiolus talking about cup noodles when they have the literal chef of the group Ignis right off screen
That is a very good point.
Let alone the fact that Cup of Noodles uses like bottom of the barrel ingredients(they are less then $1 each at a store). Literally trash tier ingredients while Ignis makes top chef dishes that would make any real world chef jealous. Gladiolus makes Cup of Noodles sound like it is like caviar or the epitome of flavor when they barely count as food, it's when you can't afford real food that you get Cup of Noodles or Ramen.
Because a literal chef praising cup noodles would be too much even for them? I mean...maybe.
@@kingzach74 Ramen is something you add other things to. Even the flavor packets can be part of other dishes.
I love the cup noodles mission because of how bad it is😂. Even the voice actors aren't taking their role seriously.
With the two Bioware games, I actually didn't find them cringey when they came out, certainly not to the extent of everything else in the list.
I actually liked Leliana's Song upon first playing, since it was at the culmination of everything, & you just had to appreciate that the technology wasn't quite there but they did what they could with it. It's cringey now, for sure, but that's a different story.
ME3...as you said, if they'd stuck the ending, the scene would be ok. So, I can't really cringe at the scene when it's really just anger from the poor ending.
Neither are to the level of forced & awkward QTE sex between characters who are clearly 40yo virgins (despite one of them having had 2 kids), necessary in order to get the best ending. Or forced & awkward QTE stripping. Or suuuper awkward QTE showering for both male & female leads. That game was super fun playing in front of my visiting dad... lol
Dragon Age Origins, the lip sync not matching the song ... I've replayed that game half a dozen times, never even noticed.
I totally forgot about the Leliana dlc. I also enjoyed that. I even really liked Dragon Age 3 and looking forward to da4 if it ever gets released😎
The forced cup noodle segment was so bad that it became good. They even included it in the Gladio DLC ! 😂😂😂
Have you done a 10 worst moments to have a non gamer walk in on you playing?
This is an awesome idea
This is an awesome idea
Heh. I know of one that's awkward even for gamers, lol. Chapter 9 of Final Fantasy 7: Remake. You get to a part where Cloud can be given a hand massage (the choice made I believe affects either his later outfit in that chapter or Aerith's). If you pick the luxury massage, you pretty much listen to Cloud have an orgasm over a hand massage 😅. When he finally walks out and returns to the waiting room (which takes him a moment), he does this feather-light sweep against the wall with his hand, clearly blissed out of his mind, lol. You would not want anyone walking in on that moment.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValleythanks i will definitely know not to choose that option when i play that game 💀
Bayonetta and a couple of scenes from Conker’s bad fur day would definitely make someone go “Wtf?!” Lol
Gonna have to disagree with the Stargazer. Having Buzz talk about space and stars is a perfect end to a series like ME. With the main theme heard from the FIRST game's main menu playing behind him, it was a nostalgic sendoff.
I love how Heavy Rain is just a staple in all of these videos
I thought the entire point of Gensis was that he WAS cringe. He's suppose to be that insane, overly dramatic type that makes you want to facepalm, even by the standards of the world/story.
But then at the same time, has the power to actually back it up.
Like, he's not suppose to be someone you take seriously from a moral/philosophical standpoint, but he's still a threat from a physical one.
Leliana's Song (Number 9) is not gibberish! Its elvish (Elven Song of Mourning). You can find the codex translation to english in the game.
Yeah, I recall seeing the lyrics in a book in the game, there’s enough Elvish spoken to get the gist that it’s sung around the time the ancient elves would enter eternal sleep iirc.
I always thought the live action scenes in Resident Evil 1 were bad but Mortal Kombat gives it a run for its money. 😂
There's a mod that someone made for the voices in the early Megaman x games where he got both the voices of X and Zero from X8 and it's fucking beautiful. I'm so happy they literally voiced the lines for a modder.
I love how unhinged Falcon is in this video 😂😂😂
The worst part of the FF15 one is that the guy reading off the ad and making you do a sidequest for it also yells at Noctis for not taking things seriously.
By the power of Nissin! :D
That's after shit at Altissia hits the fan. The boys are mostly having fun before then (you know, despite both Gladio and Noctis having confirmed parents that have been killed by the Empire, and Noctis essentially no longer having a kingdom...)
That's kinda based ngl
Leliana's Song was one of the finest moments of the game
The Cup Noodles quest felt like a weirdly "Truman Show" moment, for me. Still cringe, don't get me wrong, but I was running through the game for extended periods, so I'm pretty sure I laughed at the overt switch in tone. Glad this was brought up, because I'd almost forgotten all about it. ATLANTICA IS NEEDED FOR THE BEST WEAPON!! The crafting material you get is necessary for the Ultima weapon, so you have to sit through it.
“It’s so weird how hard this game pushes cup noodles!” Then pauses video and exclaims how much he likes cup noodles 😂
Man, there are so many in the Yakuza series that the cringe becomes hilarious.
I believe most of those moments are on purpose though.
Yeah, me too. Mostly the romance scenes "will they, won't they" cringe the heck outta me. But I think there might be cultural differences there too .
Yakuza shouldn't count. It's like Shenmue. Without utter cringe it just loses itself.
I mean, when the game has a quest for the mc to watch a ton of soft porn and they even hired actual AV actresses... they earned a little silliness
Probably more so in Yakuza 0
If we're talking cringiest video game cutscenes, this could have easily been a David Cage/Quantic Dream list.
SEAN!!!
@@x01021JASON !!!
Mass Effect Andromeda: "My face is tired"
Awkward dialogue coupled with zero face animations.
"I wanted to crawl into a hole and die from second-hand embarrassment" Legit made me laugh. Thanks Falcon.
To be fair to NBA2k15, a LOT of basketball players really do talk like that when they're not out with their homies.
Yeah, why do they sound like they're mumbling when interviewed?
I thought he was gonna put FFX laugh scene lmao I was ready to throw hands
James Arnold Taylor's VA work was the sole reason I couldn't take the character of Tidus seriously. It really broke my investment and immersion in the story.
I feel like you encapsulated exactly what it felt like watching that heavy pain scene. Bravo falcon!
FFXV Cup Noodle placement was elite. That whole dialogue was premium content and I distinctly remember standing up and clapping for it after it was over. An acid trip without the acid.
Literally, looking for a video to watch while I do the dishes and this pops up. Thanks gameranks
Every second of every David Cage game ever. The dialogue makes me embarassed 😂
The best part about that Mass Effect epilogue is that the child was just a miniature adult 3D model lol.
Needs to be the next series of videos at Gameranx. Anytime we get moments of Falcon unable to contain laughter, I'm in.
I actually liked that bookend to Mass Effect, but it obviously would've been more resonant if Andromeda was better. Andromeda was the perfect "this series can continue forever like Final Fantasy" idea and well...we saw how that turned out.
If Andromeda was fantastic, that bookend to Shepard's story would declare him as a Martyr to inspire space travel for the next century for boy and girls in the milky way to exceed past the initial series.
They're making another mass effect game as we speak. Hopefully it will be better then Andromeda
I was certain I was going to see the OG RE1, so many cringe moments between the real actors acting and jill sandwich, the master of unlocking
I think the RE Franchise was excluded because it's mostly considered so bad its funny!
The voice acting and dialogue in that game is funny and memorable, almost every single line in that game is essentially poetry.
The Crisis Core scene has some deep meaning tho. The three sitting kind of meant reuniting the three friends together again,like the old times. It's...pretty sad tho,thinking that one of them went batshit crazy and the other one is dead.
I had this just playing while I was gaming and number 1 came around and I actually spit my drink out and made my friends concerned for my wellbeing with how hard I was laughing.
Gameranx is the watchmojo of video games
Number 6: JASOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN in the middle of the ending is hilarious, you can press x to jason in one of the endings, but if you press x throughout the rest of the mission and and through the cutscenes, it still works, it's a glitch, and it's funny
sean*
Damn you went kinda hard on Buzz Aldrin. I didnt think it was that bad lmao also the megaman zero had me in tears😂
just gotto say i love your videos! Even if i dont play the games your a great commenter and its great to have your videos running on the side while i work :D
Leliana's song is one of my fondest memories of Dragon Age Origins. So your cringe is not my cringe, mate.
Also: Buzz Aldrin is just fine.
The stargazer thing is weird, but I don't think Buzz did a bad job at all. It's an odd thing to be asked to do for a non industry person.
Hilarious, xD
I'm excited every time I see a new video by you guys! Luckily that means I'm excited a lot, :))
I love that cup noodle scene.
It actually reminds me of how a friend in high school talked about computer stuff lol
Does he work in advertising today?
@@bandito241 no, he works on making artificial limbs automated
Yessir this is HILARIOUS!!!!! The 2k15 had me rolling!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
The second hand embarrassment in this... it was great!
I actually really like those musical moments in Kingdom hearts 2 😅 its a great break away from constant button mashing and an all around fun time ❤
Yeah but it was still wtf mini game
"I dont want to kick a dog while its down" proceeds to absolutely destroy an entire generation of films, games, and sub par television. I. LOVE. IT.
Bird, I know we're both old enough to realize that number 8 is just an excellent example of the old-school way of product advertisement in a live television show or radio show...it's hilarious how out of time that felt!
Did not occur to me at the time that “The Ultimate Flavor Experience” was a serious ad when I played FFXV, but I greatly disliked Gladiolus for the rest of my play through and this explains why.
You should see the making of Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties! It all makes sense when you think of how much had to be sacrificed to get anything on a CD back then.
The Little Mermaid in Kingdom Hearts 2 is an example of a good idea gone bad. Overly simple rhythm game with bad original songs, but based on The Little Mermaid of all things. And you need it to make the Ultima Weapon.
You thought the cup noodle thing was cringe? I thought it was hilarious and amazing and Gladiolus’s voice actor explaining how amazing it is was incredible! 10/10 mission for me.
This was hard to watch in the absolute BEST way possible. Amazing work as always!
Dude the video literally dropped a minute ago. Come on.
Wow! You watched a 22 minute video in 3 minutes!
@@m4y0w4 funny ain't it 🤣
@@m4y0w4 I guess I have superpowers and you got recommended it after I did 🤷♂️

Why you capping you didn't watch it really did you
I do love how even Noctis was sick of listening to Gladiolis drone on about cup noodles.
We all understand that it is blatant advertising, but man, that Gladius Cup Noodles tangent is absolutely hilarious!
The fact Buzz was part of one of the best space dramas. I have never seen the ending comepletely cringe.
In the case of Kingdom Hearts 2, the overly long “sacrifice” of Ansem the Wise was also pretty cringeworthy. He talked and warned FOREVER, then his device exploded completely on queue instead of “at any moment”. Worst time for monologuing, ruined the story flow.
I love Falcon’s complaining videos. The tone of his voice sounds like he’s always so baffled LMAO.
I mean, if you're gonna talk about cringe in Kingdom Hearts, you gotta mention when Roxas said to his close friend in 358/2 days when she was dying in front of him "who am I gonna eat ice cream with?"
SO MUCH YES on the Cup Noodle quest. I absolutely love Final Fantasy XV, but that one specific quest and the dialogue that goes with it just makes me want to crawl under a rock. It is just so awful, and then you have to do it multiple times if you want to 100% fill the bestiary because two of the monsters you have to fight to get the special ingredient are unique-named variants of pre-existing monsters that have their own individual entries in the bestiary rather than being lumped in with their more common counterparts.
You guys went hard on number 10 lol I would have sworn it was number 1 😂
I’m honestly shocked you didn’t have any Resident Evil in this list. There are so many moments to pick from. Possibly the most ridiculous being: Steve struggling to deal with his zombie father in Code Veronica 😂
Iris!
Iris!!
Just those 2 words alone cracked me up😂😂
I love Kingdom Hearts and I play through the games a few times a year but I always skip KH2 Atlantica. Only reason to ever go through that torture is to get a synthesis material needed for Ultima Weapon.
Love your videos! Amazing quality as always!
Thanks
Love u too 😘
5:00 i forgot all about this. Thanks for reminding me.....💔
The advertising in the cup Noodles quest obviously didn't work because I totally forgot about it until you just reminded me and even when I was doing the quest I wasn't itching to buy some real ones. The problem with advertising this blatant in a game is that it always comes across as paid promotion and product placement and we all hate that especially gamers considering we paid for the product in the first place. I'm sure the Publishers got a lot of money for dedicating a whole quest to a real world product though.
First off, please make this a series. Second, I’ve never played FFXV and the cup noodle scene had me laughing my ass off watching this
Same
You would've laughed playing it as well! I think more people understood the comedy of it than those who were straight up mad about it. Falcon here is in the minority, and it's certainly his opinion to have. But Square Enix also had a revised version of a launch trailer that also pretty much threw Cup Noodle placement all over the place so they DID prepare the public and show how silly they were being (but of couse, yes, please buy some Cup Noodle, lol). By the time Gladio gets to the hilarious "Ultimate flavor experience!" line, it's pretty clear the segment isn't taking itself too seriously.
Yes
Let's make our noodle dream a reality.
Every Dynasty Warriors game has some of the most hilarious cringe moments, it's like they go out of their way to make you wince.
It’s part of its charm😂
Oh man, the comparison between the SR Reboot scene and a sitcom is so apt. That apartment scene looks like it was written with a laugh track in mind.
Falcon you are my hero!
Haven't laughed that much in a long time!!
Buzz Aldrin one was actually sweet and the cup noodles one was funny also the KH one was cute too
Not to ruin a cringe moment (Genesis is super cringe) but re: Crisis Core, the apple thing at the end actually has a reason (I think). If you look at the note (I think it's a note?) when you enter Genesis' old place, where they were making dumbapple juice or something. He wrote a note as a kid saying his dream was sharing a dumbapple with the Hero Sephiroth or something. I think that part is a callback to that. That's why Zack says something like "Sorry I'm not the real thing" or something. I can't remember all the details.
Cup noodles wasn't cringe it was actually hilarious
the cup noodle thing was kinda funny
For Dragon Age I would have gone with Morrigan's "seductive" approach when getting ready to sleep with the Warden. That was pretty cringe.
Descent: Freespace ironically has my favorite opening cutscene of all time. The graphics are *rough* but I still get chills! RIP Volition 😢
If you were a kid when MK Mythologies came out there's no way you didn't think that the cutscenes were cool.
Ya pushing it with the ME3 Buzz Aldrin scene… feels like y’all just needed that one to fill the list.
