yo you should actually watch captain lazerhawk cuz everything you were bitching about really isn’t out of place and actually makes sense if you watch the show just fyi
Fun fact! Edith up, the red nymph, had sprites that appeared in the same style as Rayman legends… but it was only found in Fiesta Run, one of Rayman’s many mobile runner games and wasn’t used anywhere in the game leading it to be scrapped
The french version went a bit further, but there's a play of word a bit complicated. On their website, the section of the nymphs was called "Attaque d'essaim devastateurs" (Devastating swarm attack"), followed by "(A ne pas confondre avec son homonyme)", wich means "(To not mistake with its homonym)". The idea is that "D'essaims" (of swarms) sounds like "des seins" (of breasts), therefore making the article : "Attaque des seins dévastateurs" (Devastating Breasts Attack).
@@MadsterV Yeah the US is weirdly fine with extreme violence and gore but they draw the line a clothed softcore T&A. Meanwhile Japan and China are the exact opposite, being uncompromisingly horny to the point of basically kiddie fiddling while being hyper sensitive about violence especially dismemberment.
Actually Captain Laserhawk meant to portray how Ubisoft mistreated his character over the years. Even the Rabbids were portrayed as monsters that destroyed his world.
barely clothed nymphs, enemies inflating, all nymphs eaten by monster, dragon swallowing rayman becomes bossfight, undead boss is a giantess, this just reeks of the dev's barely disguised fetishes.
"imagine if nintendo made a game where fox mccloud knocked up krystal, had to start paying child support, and developed a crippling heroine addiction before eventually blowing his own brains out." sounds like someone needs to play some star fox command. (okay no, none of its endings are THAT bad, but man. if you've never experienced...)
Another interesting fact about pig Latin, is that it has also been used as a form of secret code or secret language. Such as carrying out plans, strategies and so on. So those not versed in pig Latin will have no idea what it said.
"hear me out" is supposed to be for conventionally unattractive characters 💀 the nymphs just have an exaggerated hourglass shape, that's a basic standard of beauty for women lmao. if you say "hear me out", it's gotta be for some real crazy shit, like a xenomorph or something
It was a fun way to convey how all these characters were made, from Polokus the bubble dreamer. Bringing his dreams to life through bubbles. But yeah it has that weird undertone because of it
I'll always remember how Legends has every single level from this game, so you can play nearly all of it, besides the first level of each world (with the nymphs), and it has every character from the original game, some even with updated graphics, besides the nymphs.
I think the reason the Nymph levels were cut from Legends was because they act as tutorial levels for each ability. However, since Rayman and Co. have all abilities right out of the box in Legends, the tutorial levels weren't needed and thus omitted.
@@ASkeleton And drastically so! There is this book titled "The history of Rayman" that AFAIK only came out in France around the same time as Legends that chronicles pretty much every single Rayman media ever and it goes well out of it's way to pretend the nymphs never existed. Quite a shame if you ask me.

I've always thought that Ubisoft refusing to port Rayman Origins to the Nintendo Switch was one of the dumbest things I've ever witnessed them doing. Then I remembered that this was the same company that made the infamous "Quadruple A" game Skull and Bones. I also remembered when their CEO came out and told gamers that they should get use to not owning their games. Man, the hatred against this company is well warranted.

That CEO better get used to not having his money someday.
When i was growing up, my family had our wii in our family room. This meant that any time one of the nymphs showed up, my mom could just walk right in. It was a bit awkward to say the least
why would anyone describe any aspect of the fairies as "upsetting"? everyone loves all of them, the only upsetting thing about them is how upset i feel when i have to choose a favorite because they're all so good.
As someone who's liked Rayman for quite a while now, I can say, I honestly like how Rayman is depicted in Captain Lazerhawk. Rayman was already kinda raunchy for a while, but, I think it does good at portraying a Rayman who's been displaced from his world controlled by dreams governed by the black and white morality of literal dreams vs literaly nightmares, into an almost overwhelming dystopia where things aren't so clear cut, a place where his sense of heroism and limited morality could be exploited to turn him into a tool for abuse.
Bro, it goes against everything I have heard about Captain Laserhawk and Rayman's portrayal. Now I feel morally obligated to agree with this skeleton guy out of not wanting to hurt his feelings... I never watched Captain Laserhawk BTW, I was never interested, but it seemed people had a mixed reaction to the show, especially with Rayman's portrayal. I guess all I can do is just see for myself to see if the show really was that good or bad. I just, don't wanna offend the skeleton guy for enjoying something he finds childhood destroying
@plaguedocgames7364 He sounded so distraut and pissed. I know it's all opinions, but there is that lingering fear that people will think less of me if I enjoy contentious media

I just didn’t like it. Felt less creative & tried too hard by saying, “Hey, did you love these Rayman Origins levels? Here they are again!” & added copyrighted music to make stage design somewhat creative.
@@braydenleaderofthetirkins1143 overall I think it has less good levels but there’s definitely fantastic levels in legends. As soon as you get past the first world it gets better. Also the hub is just lame and boring, it feels so lifeless compared to the oirigins map.
"Any amount of horniness in a Rayman game is highly unusual" I know Ly in Rayman 2 is pretty forgettable but come on now, her outfit practically looks naked. Yeah... turns out it's a bodysuit, not just plum colored body paint covering up naughty bits... sssure, I totally believe she's wearing a bodysuit that matches her EXACT skin tone even on the archived art from the game's website where they claimed she "dresses like the People of Prhys". Sounds to me like they made the character and then came up with the excuses after. Fine strategy by me.
As a kid I legit thought that was her skin and not a body suit. She appears in another game (one of the GBA Rabbids ones I think) and it’s shown to be a bodysuit cus it’s off on one shoulder.
Ah yes. Rayman Origins, the game I was playing while everyone else was playing Skyrim. The amazing music, the fantastic gameplay, the sexual awakenings! Why did they make those fairies so sexy?! Your thumbnail guy is right, there aint nothing confusing about how horny this game could get at times!
Honestly, this video just slaps! Can really tell the absolute love for the game being poured into this one. Hopefully you've convinced at least a few people to check this honest to god gem of a game out dude
Rayman in captain laserhawk was fucking great. Also he didn't have arms it's just the coat. He didn't shoot up random nobodies but some higher ups of the Templars from assassin's creed.
@@gizzmohunter6906almost agree with U. Edith is my 2nd fav nymph, my Fav One is Annetta Fish. ...also mind sharing that art? Y'know, helping a brother out.
amazing video, I remembered as a kid how hard it was to gather all the teeth to gain access to the last world and the last fairy, seeing these one eyed chests gave me PTSD , but I was so proud when I finally managed to get all of them.
I am an european comic artist and studied a lot of french artists. In many european cultures, when it comes to suggestive themes within otherwise cartoony and/or juvenile works of art such as Rayman Origins, its very common to see those traits being casually included, which results very much jarring to other cultures (especially the US). When you consider the developers of Rayman Origins (and Legends) are from France, it makes a lot of sense. In short, you are welcome.
I honestly really love Origins a lot, it’s a fantastic game that introduced me to platformers. Also, to comment about the Laserhawk Rayman, the whole point of the show is these remixed versions of Ubisoft characters. They’re new insights to characters or interpretations of previously existing characters like with bullfrog. He doesn’t start out as this bumbling addict, there’s a snowball effect and he does have depth the clips online don’t give. Honestly I kinda don’t want to spoil as it has a really interesting (probably unintentional) allegory to Rayman’s relationship to his parent company. I know you seem to have a distaste for it but I honestly recommend it if you haven’t watched it already.
@@ASkeleton Same thing with the Mario Rabbids DLC, it's obvious the devs love and respect him, if anything the roast only shows that those devs are as frustrated as the fans with how Ubisoft has been managing the franchise.
Pretty sure you've already heard this multiple times, but you've pretty clearly not watched Captain Lazerhawk if that's your opinion of Rayman's depiction in it.
@@ASkeleton It's not bad but it's definitely overrated and as you said, the childhood destruction is a no no. Gives me mixed feelings because the way it is orchestrated is fantastic, another comment explained that well, but it's still way too dark for these characters...
@@Quent5000 Rayman was already raunchy outside of the main series for years, have you not seen all of those advertisements? And besides, if that's enough to "destroy" your childhood, you've got bigger issues.
Man i came here because thicc lady on the thumbnail but honestly? Your comedic timing is impicable! The little live action skits had be wheezing so hard i was tearing up and in all my years of watching video reviewers, I've never had that? And its been a long while, grew up on TGWTG and turned 25 recently. I am very excited to see the next video, skeleton man. Keep it up!
The secret final level is probably my favorite level in the game. I really like the difficult fast paced speedrunning levels, and having it be the ultimate test of your skills from the entire game is super fun.
If you grew up in euorpe in the 80s, you know why the fairies were built like that. Childrens media used to hit different. I guess the youth have their Pixar Moms now, so in about 15 years we'll get confusingly butt-centric platformers
I like the rayman from captain lazer hawk, I get the feeling you haven't even seen the whole show and have only seen the clips with rayman no context. Or maybe you have seen it idk i cant read ur mind also WHOA BOOOBA
6:46 I never played the Shantae games but from what I’ve seen, the characters and style is nice and pretty cute. But also every girl makes you say “daym”. I don’t need to tell you to hear me out, because you already know.
they are the comparison standard I hold everything else to for over a decade now Rayman origins and Legends are legit two of the best platformers ever made and it's really weird coming from ubisoft
Hell nah us Mexicans are almost always happy to see representation in any silly crazy way from anyone, I’m a very big fan of Rayman Legend’s continuation of the theme with Fiesta De Los Muertos, super fun level and the theme for the boss is INCREDIBLE.
@@EngineerMonkey-zp3yj as part of a family that pretty much religiously watched Nacho Libre and attended every luchador fight at the flea markets (they weren’t big or official or anything, just for show) we’re all over anything related to luchadores, but of course things like that aren’t to everyone’s taste in the community, so who knows.
Great video. This has kind of revived my interest in Rayman now. 😂 Honestly, the thing that fascinates me most about Rayman as a franchise is how unique its fantasy world is. There's fairies, robot pirates, weird little pseudo-goblins, worlds based on art, music and food, it feels timeless yet it has some hodgepodge modern tech bits here and there, it's all so beautifully put together. Pity Ubisoft treats it like a punching bag nowadays.
I really loved this love letter to Rayman origins. As a long time Rayman fan I was blown away by the beautifull levels and music. It was no wonder they remade the levels to be played in legends. It was a lot of fun and now I must play it once more. p.s. I find it hilarious that the "power to change size" was given by the T H I C C E S T Nymph
Isn't Rayman in Captain Laserhawk turning againt Ubisoft? Like, the villains are Ubisoft lol, and Rayman shoots them cause they're evil as shit and fucking over everyone
Now to be fair, Rayman Origins takes place before Rayman One. Clearly Betilla was still maturing and was about to leave her old rocking college years behind her after she uh. Made Rayman.
I thought Ramon was a brilliant way to use Rayman. He loses his sanity because of the abuse of his kind and hijacking of his image. Looking at the rest of Captain Laserhawk is important, because Rayman's not the only one in a shithole of a city with oppression in its core.
I don't think it's that unusual on differents aspects. The first being that Rayman 3 was already getting a "conker bad fur day" treatment with a lot of not even innuendos comment from the black lums or even Murphy, now I'm a french speaker, so maybe the English dub went soft on taht, but man, playing that game again when I reached 18 and thought "man, they really didn't even try to hide that". The second reason I think is simple, it's Europe, and Europe is not as puritan as the States or the Saxons for that matter. There's a french cartoon when a woman takes a bath, and when she drops into the tub, you can see a bit of jiggle (tho not the boobs themselves it's more the part where the breast gets to the armpit, so it's a bit subtle), you had that many fairy tale in their classic versions (wich many were still told to us as children back then in the late 90's and early 2000's) were not hiding their subject. It's like the french director Christophe Gans used to say, "in a way, fairy tales were the mthod for adults to tell Children about two things : Darkness and sexuality, fundamental part of their future adult life". A quick example I have is in an Asterix cartoon where you can clearly see the "assets" of Mrs. Geriatrix. I mean, I don't wanna play the "Disney ruined everything", freaking far from it, all I'm saying is that we (or at least I, I was raised in a pretty open but conservative way) grew up on sturner stuff. So those nymphs never bothered me, heck, nymphs savedd Zeus in the myths, they have quite a history.
@@ASkeleton I know they didn't, I mean, who would feel bothered by their...charisma? By the way, my brother absolutely loved you video. So thanks for that.
This game used to be mine and my brother's childhood. We beat the game several times, and while we enjoyed the chase levels, we never actually beat all of them or collected all of the teeth, we always dreamed about what would be behind that door when we got every tooth. We never looked things up as kids and because we were so young we never quite had the ability to beat some of the harder chase levels, so it always just kind of sat on our minds begging us to answer the question someday. Our imaginations got big imagining what would happen if we got all of the teeth, I imagined a whole collection of new levels, maybe where you play as the villans instead, my brother imagined a collection of new bosses to fight, we never found out, because at some point the PS3 disc was destroyed, until legends came out and all the origins levels were mixed into it. With how much we played origins it was quite shocking to see a boss fight we hadn't before years later.
Dude, what a video. What do I say a video, this was peak content creation to the limit!!!! The writing, the research, the humor, the impossible number of outside jokes and references. You, as always, outdid yourself. I am very very proud of you Skelly. If I were to be a youtuber, you would be the one I'd aspire to come close to. Thank you. And yes, please, I would love to have your take on Rayman Legends. Please?
Kudos to Ubisoft for not making the Nymphs appear as sex workers with a cocain addiction on captain laserhawk, we all know they would have done it if they have remembered they existed
I got this game on super sale not long after it released on PS3. It was a total blind buy. One of the best purchases I ever made. Super solid platformer that oozes charm. Keep up the great videos man. You bring such a personal feel talking about these games. I can hear your passion and it really shines through. Also, I appreciate that you talk about the music in these games.
1. The French, like the rest of Europe, isn't as puritanically squamish as the US. They don't shy away from hot chicks and their potential for humor. 2. Yes please do a Rayman Legends video.

@@braydenleaderofthetirkins1143 overall I think it has less good levels but there’s definitely fantastic levels in legends. As soon as you get past the first world it gets better. Also the hub is just lame and boring, it feels so lifeless compared to the oirigins map.
"Any amount of horniness in a Rayman game is highly unusual"
I know Ly in Rayman 2 is pretty forgettable but come on now, her outfit practically looks naked. Yeah... turns out it's a bodysuit, not just plum colored body paint covering up naughty bits... sssure, I totally believe she's wearing a bodysuit that matches her EXACT skin tone even on the archived art from the game's website where they claimed she "dresses like the People of Prhys".
Sounds to me like they made the character and then came up with the excuses after. Fine strategy by me.
I absolutely blame Ly for my love of Fairies in the current day
As a kid I legit thought that was her skin and not a body suit. She appears in another game (one of the GBA Rabbids ones I think) and it’s shown to be a bodysuit cus it’s off on one shoulder.
the music played when we save the nymphs is even more sexualized 5:48
Bro is this sonic x?
Ah yes. Rayman Origins, the game I was playing while everyone else was playing Skyrim. The amazing music, the fantastic gameplay, the sexual awakenings! Why did they make those fairies so sexy?! Your thumbnail guy is right, there aint nothing confusing about how horny this game could get at times!
Honestly, this video just slaps! Can really tell the absolute love for the game being poured into this one. Hopefully you've convinced at least a few people to check this honest to god gem of a game out dude
I'd stand by them too. They were powerful words!
Lmao
"imagine if SEGA put sex appeal in a sonic game"
Rouge the bat:
Rayman in captain laserhawk was fucking great. Also he didn't have arms it's just the coat. He didn't shoot up random nobodies but some higher ups of the Templars from assassin's creed.
Edith up (the red one) is best babe. I will die on this hill
Totally
@@ASkeleton I may or may not have gotten art of her since she is kinda under appreciated and I can admit to that
@@gizzmohunter6906almost agree with U. Edith is my 2nd fav nymph, my Fav One is Annetta Fish.
...also mind sharing that art? Y'know, helping a brother out.
@@spinelandrodrigoandres8863 you can probably find it
State your reasons. I need to hear'em
ok, the army of darkness poster is actually sick tho
Isn't it?! Found it at a local retro game store.
They gave those fairies the ENTIRE bakery
The creative team on Gourmand Land: “so, guys what do y’all usually put inside your fridge?”
Shoutouts to the one of if not the greatest platformer of all time.
Free my man Rayman Ubisoft, you don't deserve him.
"Confusingly" horni?
Nah, nah, there's no confusion here of any kind, lol
Them Nymphs are simply the cherry on top of this amazing game, hah~
it is very nice fanservice and i would not have it any other way

amazing video, I remembered as a kid how hard it was to gather all the teeth to gain access to the last world and the last fairy, seeing these one eyed chests gave me PTSD , but I was so proud when I finally managed to get all of them.
I am an european comic artist and studied a lot of french artists. In many european cultures, when it comes to suggestive themes within otherwise cartoony and/or juvenile works of art such as Rayman Origins, its very common to see those traits being casually included, which results very much jarring to other cultures (especially the US). When you consider the developers of Rayman Origins (and Legends) are from France, it makes a lot of sense.
In short, you are welcome.
I honestly really love Origins a lot, it’s a fantastic game that introduced me to platformers.
Also, to comment about the Laserhawk Rayman, the whole point of the show is these remixed versions of Ubisoft characters. They’re new insights to characters or interpretations of previously existing characters like with bullfrog. He doesn’t start out as this bumbling addict, there’s a snowball effect and he does have depth the clips online don’t give. Honestly I kinda don’t want to spoil as it has a really interesting (probably unintentional) allegory to Rayman’s relationship to his parent company. I know you seem to have a distaste for it but I honestly recommend it if you haven’t watched it already.
I think I will check it out sometime. You're right. It's not fair to judge based on clips alone.
@@ASkeleton Same thing with the Mario Rabbids DLC, it's obvious the devs love and respect him, if anything the roast only shows that those devs are as frustrated as the fans with how Ubisoft has been managing the franchise.
Nice to Sans from undertale become a CZcamsr after leaving the underground
ALSO YES DO LEGENDS I LOVE RAYMANNNNNNNNNN
Pretty sure you've already heard this multiple times, but you've pretty clearly not watched Captain Lazerhawk if that's your opinion of Rayman's depiction in it.
I mean, I haven't. But even if I did I'm sure I'd still find the drug use and alcoholism distasteful.
@@ASkeleton It's not bad but it's definitely overrated and as you said, the childhood destruction is a no no. Gives me mixed feelings because the way it is orchestrated is fantastic, another comment explained that well, but it's still way too dark for these characters...
@@ASkeletonthem... how can you comment on this interpretation of the character if you don't know the context behind...
@@Quent5000 Rayman was already raunchy outside of the main series for years, have you not seen all of those advertisements? And besides, if that's enough to "destroy" your childhood, you've got bigger issues.
@@ambientNexus it's a figure of speech... calm your tits fanboy
Man i came here because thicc lady on the thumbnail but honestly? Your comedic timing is impicable! The little live action skits had be wheezing so hard i was tearing up and in all my years of watching video reviewers, I've never had that? And its been a long while, grew up on TGWTG and turned 25 recently.
I am very excited to see the next video, skeleton man. Keep it up!
Thanks very much!
The secret final level is probably my favorite level in the game. I really like the difficult fast paced speedrunning levels, and having it be the ultimate test of your skills from the entire game is super fun.
If you grew up in euorpe in the 80s, you know why the fairies were built like that. Childrens media used to hit different. I guess the youth have their Pixar Moms now, so in about 15 years we'll get confusingly butt-centric platformers
And thus the cycle will continue
Big boobs is not family friendly, so to differentiate they used the hips instead. Hubba hubba Disney Moms.
…did.. did you forget the point of Raman being in laser hawk…?
2:00 Pretty sure he doesn't have arms here and those are just the coat's sleeves using his hands as support
There's a difference between cultural appropriation, and cultural appreciation, that level is definitely good and will always be positive
That's good. I like that
@@ASkeleton hey, half mex and I love it too, it's a lovely aesthetic and level
I like the rayman from captain lazer hawk, I get the feeling you haven't even seen the whole show and have only seen the clips with rayman no context. Or maybe you have seen it idk i cant read ur mind also WHOA BOOOBA
Actually from a comment below you he does say he’s only seen clips of the show
@@seandorama5932 Yeah, he should give the show a shot it's pretty good
Rayman origins was supposed to be like a reboot or a retcon to the first game, they changed the origins idea but kept the name
6:46 I never played the Shantae games but from what I’ve seen, the characters and style is nice and pretty cute.
But also every girl makes you say “daym”. I don’t need to tell you to hear me out, because you already know.
But isn't shantae 16?
they are the comparison standard I hold everything else to for over a decade now
Rayman origins and Legends are legit two of the best platformers ever made and it's really weird coming from ubisoft
Laserhawk Rayman was great tho, it depicts what bringing the actual rayman into a cyberpunk dystopia would be like
Okay but raymond was actually a cool adaptation. Both in the context of the show and playing on our original expectations of rayman
Hell nah us Mexicans are almost always happy to see representation in any silly crazy way from anyone, I’m a very big fan of Rayman Legend’s continuation of the theme with Fiesta De Los Muertos, super fun level and the theme for the boss is INCREDIBLE.
My big sister's girlfriend is Mexican, but we asked her about it and she said it was alright but the boss was... questionable.
@@EngineerMonkey-zp3yj as part of a family that pretty much religiously watched Nacho Libre and attended every luchador fight at the flea markets (they weren’t big or official or anything, just for show) we’re all over anything related to luchadores, but of course things like that aren’t to everyone’s taste in the community, so who knows.
@@morimorizutto1907 Yeah, I don't... really know. I'm just going off what she said. The only reference I've got!
Great video. This has kind of revived my interest in Rayman now. 😂
Honestly, the thing that fascinates me most about Rayman as a franchise is how unique its fantasy world is. There's fairies, robot pirates, weird little pseudo-goblins, worlds based on art, music and food, it feels timeless yet it has some hodgepodge modern tech bits here and there, it's all so beautifully put together.
Pity Ubisoft treats it like a punching bag nowadays.
I really loved this love letter to Rayman origins. As a long time Rayman fan I was blown away by the beautifull levels and music. It was no wonder they remade the levels to be played in legends. It was a lot of fun and now I must play it once more.
p.s. I find it hilarious that the "power to change size" was given by the T H I C C E S T Nymph
7:03 *Slowclap* Was expecting Rouge. nice dodge there.
18:36 no way the mosquito rides you instead when you play as the frog, that's so funny
Isn't Rayman in Captain Laserhawk turning againt Ubisoft? Like, the villains are Ubisoft lol, and Rayman shoots them cause they're evil as shit and fucking over everyone
That boy ain't right.
Great Video
The jiggle physics are too good to be an accident
Now to be fair, Rayman Origins takes place before Rayman One. Clearly Betilla was still maturing and was about to leave her old rocking college years behind her after she uh. Made Rayman.
was not expecting pepperman from pizza tower, before he got his bell-surgery
I thought Ramon was a brilliant way to use Rayman. He loses his sanity because of the abuse of his kind and hijacking of his image. Looking at the rest of Captain Laserhawk is important, because Rayman's not the only one in a shithole of a city with oppression in its core.
God bless the French.
WE NEED LEGENDS LET THIS SKELETON COOK. Amazing video, liked and subscribed
Thanks very much!
all Ubi games have some horny aspect to them, it shouldn't surprise us
I don't think it's that unusual on differents aspects. The first being that Rayman 3 was already getting a "conker bad fur day" treatment with a lot of not even innuendos comment from the black lums or even Murphy, now I'm a french speaker, so maybe the English dub went soft on taht, but man, playing that game again when I reached 18 and thought "man, they really didn't even try to hide that".
The second reason I think is simple, it's Europe, and Europe is not as puritan as the States or the Saxons for that matter. There's a french cartoon when a woman takes a bath, and when she drops into the tub, you can see a bit of jiggle (tho not the boobs themselves it's more the part where the breast gets to the armpit, so it's a bit subtle), you had that many fairy tale in their classic versions (wich many were still told to us as children back then in the late 90's and early 2000's) were not hiding their subject. It's like the french director Christophe Gans used to say, "in a way, fairy tales were the mthod for adults to tell Children about two things : Darkness and sexuality, fundamental part of their future adult life". A quick example I have is in an Asterix cartoon where you can clearly see the "assets" of Mrs. Geriatrix.
I mean, I don't wanna play the "Disney ruined everything", freaking far from it, all I'm saying is that we (or at least I, I was raised in a pretty open but conservative way) grew up on sturner stuff. So those nymphs never bothered me, heck, nymphs savedd Zeus in the myths, they have quite a history.
Ay, I never said the nymphs bothered me!
@@ASkeleton I know they didn't, I mean, who would feel bothered by their...charisma?
By the way, my brother absolutely loved you video. So thanks for that.
if even nymphs are supposed to not be desirable...
Gonna be real with you. Much as laserhawk made no goddamn sense, my body is absolutely REGGIE for more Ramon.
Ye
Give us back the nymphs
1:48
livin the dream
I like Rayman from Captain Laserhawk. He was probably the best character in that show.
5:44 boy you ain’t slick, I saw that “shower with your dad simulator” file 💀💀💀
I wasn't hiding it!
@@ASkeleton now I’m just oddly scared
One of my favorite video games. It’s just so beautifully bonkers
who else thought 19:12 was gonna be a sponsor transition
but yeah, good video lol
(Edit: fixed time error)
This video has been brought to you by hot dogs.
Eat hot dogs.
Oh my, the title wasn't lying. 😳
This game used to be mine and my brother's childhood. We beat the game several times, and while we enjoyed the chase levels, we never actually beat all of them or collected all of the teeth, we always dreamed about what would be behind that door when we got every tooth. We never looked things up as kids and because we were so young we never quite had the ability to beat some of the harder chase levels, so it always just kind of sat on our minds begging us to answer the question someday. Our imaginations got big imagining what would happen if we got all of the teeth, I imagined a whole collection of new levels, maybe where you play as the villans instead, my brother imagined a collection of new bosses to fight, we never found out, because at some point the PS3 disc was destroyed, until legends came out and all the origins levels were mixed into it. With how much we played origins it was quite shocking to see a boss fight we hadn't before years later.
On of my favorite games ever. This video was a great tribute full of nostalgia! Can't wait to see more of you skull dude, you just earned a follow!
Thanks very much!
Good job, skeleton!
keep it up, skeleton
Dude, what a video. What do I say a video, this was peak content creation to the limit!!!! The writing, the research, the humor, the impossible number of outside jokes and references. You, as always, outdid yourself. I am very very proud of you Skelly. If I were to be a youtuber, you would be the one I'd aspire to come close to.
Thank you.
And yes, please, I would love to have your take on Rayman Legends. Please?
Game artists are true legends. They drew Nymphs using onr hand. They deserved our respect
Bro, i just wanna say this is one of the best game coverage videos i have ever seen, thanks for the great content!
Thanks very much!
Whenever I see youre getting lots of views. It makes me proud as a OG fan. Congrats Skelly
This game is joy incarnate.
There is no other game that is this bold on how much fun it's having nor how happy it is to exist.
Kudos to Ubisoft for not making the Nymphs appear as sex workers with a cocain addiction on captain laserhawk, we all know they would have done it if they have remembered they existed
your idea of a bad Star Fox game plot sounds fucking awesome
I got this game on super sale not long after it released on PS3. It was a total blind buy. One of the best purchases I ever made. Super solid platformer that oozes charm.
Keep up the great videos man. You bring such a personal feel talking about these games. I can hear your passion and it really shines through. Also, I appreciate that you talk about the music in these games.
Thanks very much!
1. The French, like the rest of Europe, isn't as puritanically squamish as the US. They don't shy away from hot chicks and their potential for humor.
2. Yes please do a Rayman Legends video.
CZcams randomly recommended me this video and I'm just looking at comments about the game's nymphs cause it's fucking hilarious
