7 Times You Got Sassed for Never Talking

Silent protagonists let you better immerse yourself in a fictional world, but occasionally a game can't help but sarcastically point out your character's freaky lack of speech. Here are the games you received a subtle bit of in-game sass for being so weirdly quiet the whole time. Seriously, maybe speak up a little?

[@cornishphilosopher]

You did portal 2 but you didn't do the best line about being mute from that game, "I had a pretty good life, and then you showed up, you dangerous, mute lunatic."

[@Foxy02016]

cornishphilosopher nah I feel that the saying apple part was funnier it was a complete troll moment

[@legz5766]

I’m super late but that you mute dangerous mute lunatic is great

[@Wandergirl108]

I came down here to comment that!

[@Comboowo]

Too bad they also left out the part where Wheatley tells you to say apple

[@aaliyahcrow2757]

That's what I was thinking!

[@BFedie518]

Come on Jane, quit burning down the HR department. You do it again and someone will file a complaint with----oh. I see.

[@nashdiy8570]

Brilliant. XD

[@timothymclean]

The funny thing is, Jane is their HR director. So even if you _did_ file a complaint, she would just misfile it and forget about it.

[@polkarrty]

She evolved her technique from throwing the hr department to the alligators

[@mrhedgebull1658]

Personally I think Jane as the HR Director is the scariest thing I can think of. Anyone else remember the scene from Lethal Weapon 2 where the mooks are standing on plastic sheeting? That's an exit interview to be avoided.

[@gangrath]

Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't Oxbox owned by another company (eurogamer?), so technically isn't their HR team the HR team?

[@elementalsgami1]

My favorite "Chell Is Mute" jokes in Portal actually comes from GLADoS. Not many people mentioned this, so here it is. "Do you remember the statement I made earlier about garbage standing around, being useless? I was talking about you. You didn't say anything, so I thought the joke had gone over your head. Sorry about that..."

[@PotatoPlaysThePotatoQueen]

And also at the end of Portal 2 she calls Chell a dangerous mute lunatic, also pointing out the fact that Chell doesn’t talk

[@ShadowOfCicero]

At the beginning of Jak II (where they decided to give the protagonist a voice after spending the whole first game silent): Daxter: "You can talk?"

[@pokepro082]

I loved those games

[@noxsiacnumberxv5718]

Didn’t say that. He was trying to wake Jak up and was like “just this once, say something!!!” Followed by Jak’s first words. Which were a death threat on baron Praxis. Good times

[@imaginewagons3777]

Dax said, "Come on, tall, dark, and gruesome." I'll take that as sass lmao

[@LadyOnikara]

It shocked me the first time I played Jak 2. Maybe if Link gets tortured he'll speak up too? Well, before Hulking out and turning into Fierce Deity.

[@silverarcher2248]

in the stanley parable, there is an ending where stanley must speak into a voice activated switch to continue. only problem is, there is no mic function, and the narrator continues angrily yelling at stanley for not talking.

[@plaguey115]

[@ladylunaginaofgames40]

Nope, it was more of a "Grin and Bear it" excuse: She basically stated that Link choose to be silent so he wouldn't have to express the amount of pain he have to go through as the hero (doesn't explain why he grunts and screams on occasions)

[@MissingmyBabbu]

I mean being silent to bottle up one's problems doesn't mean you're not gonna make a peep when a bodybuilding cat centaur gives you a whole new orifice.

[@beckhampang191]

[@nicklaspolan288]

“As long as he lives! The heart of this army can never be broken!” Flash forward to Dimitri getting gassed by Nova 6 in BO1

[@Astraeus..]

Breath of the Wild does it's bit to help us with Link in 2 ways; 1- by making it fairly clear that he DOES speak, albeit very rarely, and we just never hear him do it. And 2- by explaining the reason for why he's almost always silent in the first place. A line from the diary of the Princess states that she did ask him why he's always quiet, to which he did reply, and so she writes "With so much at stake, and so many eyes on him, he feels it necessary to stay strong and to silently bear any burden"

[@DinoDive]

Dammit. Putting a photo of Chell in the thumbnail has reminded me what an awesome character she is. Yes, I am aware that all she does is point places and pull triggers, but if you look at the backstory, the comic, the _character_ that lies beneath the skin, she's a silent determined badass who was rejected as a test subject for having _too much_ tenacity. And that's why I love her. No not like- DAMN YOU RULE 34

[@Tigercup9]

Yep. Lab Rat I think it's called, follows Doug Rattmann, the guy who leaves those messages and mosaics around in the secret rooms. You can find it in the Extras section of the Portal 2 main menu or just look it up.

Link's silence was meant to honor the VA for ocarina of time, who died during production, so they only used his hyahs. I think.

That's kind of them to honor him like that.

[@tomatooverlord2764]

...What? Link has only ever spoken two sentences: "I found a mirror under the table!" in Adventure of Link, and "Come on!" in Wind Waker. He's a silent protagonist because he's meant to be the "Link" between the player and the game world, that's why they named him that way! It has nothing to do with his voice actor in OoT dying. His VA in OoT didn't even die, he returned to voice Link in Smash Bros, Smash Bros Melee, and Soul Calibur II! He's even still doing work, he plays Hala in the Pokemon Sun and Moon anime! And if you're talking about Young Link's VA, she's still active, too! She got married in 2014, kinda hard to do that when you're dead!

Fun fact 'Rookie' got captured and shot in the head 2 years after the events of ODST. RIP in peace.

[@joshanator21]

For realsis, here's a quote from the Halopedia; ''On January 3, 2554, Alpha-Nine was deployed to Draco III's capital city of New Albany as part of the UNSC's response to an uprising instigated by the United Rebel Front. While the ODSTs were storming Draco III's capitol building, they were caught in an ambush in the legislature chambers. Buck ordered the Rookie to flank the rebels while the rest of the team provided cover. However, he was captured and beaten by the rebels, whose leader, Captain Ingridson, subsequently held him hostage on a shielded presidential balcony. At the conclusion of a prolonged standoff, Michael Crespo charged the balcony and attempted to force Ingridson to stand down. This prompted the rebel captain to execute the Rookie with a pistol shot to the head.

Does your channel have any official merch for sale? If not, that'd be an awesome idea. I have so much fun watching you guys give such hilarious commentary, it'd be nice to have a shirt or even a coffee mug related to it.

[@LordYanozsick]

What no Stick of Truth? That game really turns making fun of a silent protagonist into something of an art form.

[@Minchken]

In call of duty games the protagonists canonically do speak, the player simply doesn't hear it. Kind of like. NPC: How are you today? Player: .... NPC: I know what you mean, last OP was a shit show for sure.

[@KermitTheGamer21]

Actually, in Call of Duty 3, Isabelle at one point quips, "A man of few words...I like that"

[@joeywild2011]

Minchken But the "How are you today?" responded with silence actually makes sense. I don't think the player replies I just think the NPC took the silence as an answer of "I feel like sh*t today"

[@saltyslug2637]

Minchken Mason in Black Ops talked

[@danielnoune2202]

We also played as Captain Price in a few Modern Warfare games, who we all know talks

[@Spiffo0]

call of duty protagonists have been speaking audibly in-game since black ops.

@3:27 "Hotel India, do you acknowledge, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" -- clever :-D !

[@8666]

I dont get it. Could you please explain it?

[@MrHamboneBro]

Hurk In Far Cry New Dawn asks if you accept him on his little journey, he says “I’ll take your silence as a yes.”

[@NatureWitch]

Lol Luke at the end had me cracking up😂, also I kinda wish Link would say something sometimes, like maybe the player could have a choice. Choices are the best. 👍

[@mutedgamer553]

me: ...... friend:i was just about to say that! me:oh rlly? friend:we are such good friends

[@Asheslit]

Link has a voice, and talks in conversations, just not in cutscenes. The cutscenes, they always get me. … … … … Sorry had to beat Calamity Gannon for the eighth time. Three cutscenes, three!

[@GoldenBrother02]

i have played 4 of the games on here and loved em all, bioshock 1 + 2, twilight princess and cod world at war

[@ReiAyanami8]

There's also a part in South Park the Stick of Truth that's like this. The player character is brought before some other characters and someone says, "He doesn't speak. He thinks he's hot shit or something."

[@barsni4779]

Cool. Now how about nameless protagonist? It was amusing in Gothic I.

[@cheesewizard8943]

B'ars NI What's your name? -\•_•/-

[@barsni4779]

Gothic protagonist actually tried to introduce himself, but gave up with time. Also he used his one wish to shut up the man who was gonna name him, that was hilarious.

[@guythatsgoodatnames6032]

PocketPlayer 101 good try on the shrug

[@Become-Eggplant]

Wait, what about Douchebag from South park stick of truth?

[@danielnoune2202]

I mean, he does speak in the end.

[@DarkRayquaza121]

Empty Pickle Jar Yeah but that doesn't matter brcause the guy in Bioshock talked in the beginning. The list is for peoole who are picked on for not talking.

If i was in the same group with Nathan Fillion, I would never talk, only listen his majestic voice.

[@kazumablackwing4270]

Platonis The Warlock I'm inclined to agree

[@nikorobinson317]

Jack won't speak to you? Easily remedied. Just ask him kindly...

[@chaseendricks2981]

[@Ellimanist15]

Destiny 2's original campaign had this. I think my favorite one came from Cayde-6, where he's trapped in a precarious situation after trying to steal some enemy tech. He's trying to instruct the player on how to get him out, but when he tries to get a response the player character just stares at him, much to his chagrin.

[@KurtAustin2448]

God I love midna. Easily my favorite companion character for the entire Zelda franchise. Twilight princess is still my favorite Zelda game.

[@WinterPains]

2:11 Okay, so I'm terrified of heights. I went on one of those rides that takes you up high then drops you and also a swing type ride that spins you at the same time. On both of them, I had to force myself to make a sound and even then it was more akin to a short yelp than anything else.

[@NAcHO-wx5vg]

A follow up to this topic would be cool. 7 characters you play as who talk that you wish did not. For me number 1 would be spyro from the original trilogy. I hate his nasally sounding voice.

[@Marc-lf4du]

[@voltrainer]

fuck you. spyro is awesome. but his first voice actor was very much shit.

[@NAcHO-wx5vg]

VoltaireSurge I don't hate spyro. Believe me I love the original trilogy. Just could not stand his voice. Whenever I play the series again I just skip the cut scenes so I do not hear his voice.

[@IronBoy-hf2lp]

Spyro. Gotta love Spyro. But FUCK that voice actor in particular!

[@voltrainer]

i hope you mean just the first game. tom kenny is the definitive spyro voice for me.

Was that Nathan Fillion in Halo?

[@Rozesama]

yes

[@flakmagnetStudios]

Logan Smith yes, hence the comment about him being the handsomest. Nathan Fillion is a handsome man. See the BritAndNick video Pool Party for proof of just how handsome.

[@violetsnow804]

What other man could be the handsomest spartan ever? He has a role in Halo 5 too.

[@RIPjkripper]

The message alert on my phone is Sander Cohen saying: "Silence!"

[@temporalwolf7054]

I know I'm... several years late to this conversation, but one silent protagonist nod I get a kick out of is the Warrior of Light in Final Fantasy 14, where the player character's lack of spoken lines becomes something of a running gag. And even when dialogue options do start showing up in the expansions, there's at least one where a "dialogue" choice is "Nod Decisively"

[@Kali-Alpha]

The Ghost in Destiny can call you out on your silence during the elevator sequence in the raid on Cayde's Stash, in the Taken King.
