You should do a video where you choose your starter Pokémon by the first episode that they appeared in

[@TheTakato122]

Staraptor is you when you first started.

[@andrewmahabir589]

what happened to team tiny

[@Luzbl34...]

D'mn....shady gt merkd... i guess hs breakfst gave him the runs... good video tho... 👍👍👍

[@TheFinalJoker52]

Yall should do a video where you describe pokemon based on some iconic roles they play in anything pokemon. Anime. Side games. Manga. Ie- gengar- abondoned a gardevoir as a human and was cursed by it to become a pokemon. Deoxys- was friends with a kid who was scared of pokemon and wrecked a city while trying to escape a dragon serpent

[@Vintendo]

Nah this video is actually WILD 😂😂

[@FernsSide]

You're wild 🤪

[@KiLLKiNDLY]

I gotta say I thought Mightyena was a wolf too

[@Ironman-uu4zu]

Bro, I literally cried of laughter with the whole chaos the two of you were cookin' x'D

[@Gungniir69]

you two kill me, epic ass video lol

[@harvster101]

Best video I’ve seen in awhile! Thanks for the laugh!

[@bibbobella]

"When in doubt. Take a little girl, and have her play with an artifact" Storytelling 101 right there my man! XD

[@DustedDustSans]

h u h

[@axelblaze4088]

Vinny legit gave the entire identity, birth date, spouse name, ID card number, address and d size of every pokemon 😭😭

[@CreaturesOfTheMarsh]

When Vinny asked “Have you played Spore?” I had the craziest flashback. Spore was such a good game

[@coolbone6177]

Is*

[@reshylu6769]

I still play it today ♥️

[@PJOZeus]

Not really though, like gang beasts really, overhyped Plenty people didn't like, many only really enjoyed the civ stage Captivated an era, but good is stretching it

[@CreaturesOfTheMarsh]

@@PJOZeus Your opinion doesn’t a bad game make. I think the quality is reflected by the collective experiences and opinions the game had, especially in 2008. The reviews were (still are) very positive, and it’s had a lasting impact on a lot of people. Average user score is 4.7/5 I think good is an objective understatement here. Isn’t captivating an audience (let alone an era!) the purpose of entertainment?

[@paledrake]

It's so sad seeing them not make a proper sequel of it. The DS Spore games were alright and Wii one had it's charm, but nothing came close to the first game.

[@alanapants8133]

And then Davey's just like, "Nyuhh," cuz he got cracked with a rock, right?

[@purplemallard4852]

This actually killed me. I loved it lol.

[@josephlund3849]

I saw the comment early and wrote it off as reference to something else cuz like how does this have to do with this video…. I died when I finally saw it 😂

[@jovanni4523]

Taking 22 minutes to choose the starters? I’m here for it

[@matthiaskooij2712]

same

[@151pokeballer7]

Shady - "video game round" Shady 3 sec later - "he skips rocks"

[@TheKb051]

Shady and Vin have quickly become my favorite duo. The chemistry in these vids is fantastic.

[@ryujedong]

As fair as the milk delivery hint was, should have made it a callback and said "it has a history of fitting kids in there"

[@luisj.baeznieves1970]

Once I saw Peliper I thought he was going to mention it 😭

[@MunchKING]

That's what I thought too.

[@krystaloftheshores]

I’M WHEEZING THAT’S AWFUL 😭😭😂😂😂

[@mamutepeq]

[@PriffyViole]

Put Baby in Pelipper Mouth!

[@MerynMTG]

Suggesting "Choose your starter based on what they LOVE"

[@kiranaun9593]

Happy pride month! Choose your starter based on their SEXUALITY!

[@ThatSillyToast]

The moment I saw Vinny I already knew we were in for a treat with this duo

[@allura9163]

I thought it was going to be difficult to top the poor orphaned Totodile whose brother left home and whose father was a wanted criminal, but Vinny over constantly cursing small children managed it 💀

[@Snowfoot21]

The videos with Vinny are my absolute favorite 😂 Absolutely wild 😂 Edit to add: I unironically name all my Torterra's Pangea, loved that description from Vinny!

[@benfrayne9405]

I would 100% watch a video of you guys just describing random Pokémon, no battles or anything for like an hour. Really brightened up my afternoon

[@Alsebra]

Just a "Bad Pokémon History" playlist to fall asleep to, eh?

[@kennethrodriguez3699]

When I saw Wooper I immediately thought of the Whopper song and only saw him as a lil dude taking orders at Burger King

[@Lionmarq649]

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE🤣

[@patrickn.7669]

Ok 10:20 was really funny. Poor GamerboyLuke haha

[@SayaTheJin]

First he's talking about nuts, then he talks about underwear and that he doesn't want to be caught with his pants down around his ankles... Beautiful adread there bud KEKW

[@TheDStepp]

I need a improv D&D campaign from you two. I’ll literally give you all of my money

[@sakkikoyumikishi]

Today I learnt that Vinny learnt *recently* that dogs are descended from wolves. I also learnt that Vinny thinks hyenas are wolves 😂

[@LittleMissZackyVee]

I facepalmed so hard at rhat lol

[@CarlosThadeu]

Like, hyena is literally in the name 😂

[@gothicbutterfly013]

To be fair, Mightyena *looks* like a wolf, so I can understand the confusion

[@PointsofData]

Dude I'mma be real I've never thought much into the name and thought he was a wolf. His design really doesn't scream "hyena" more then "wolf", esp since you find Poochyena in the forest.

[@dynodraxx24]

Peak Story telling, can't find a single hole in these plots lol

[@Coach-Eddy]

15:00 this editing on this story has me in tears 😂😂😂

[@jaysemitchells497]

and Davie was like "uuuhh" cause he got hit with a rock i'm only halfway through but this is easily the funniest then we fight ever!!! Love it

[@alexcsere]

Vinny's story about life guards at 10:45 nearly fucking killed me from laughing so hard

[@thatsstrategy]

I like to imagine, in another world, Vinny 'Pan-chia' was a subtle nod to Chia pets for Torterra.

[@timdwinell8705]

BRO THIS VIDEO HAS ME CRYING 😂😂 I need a Video of all of you trying to just GUESS Vinny’s descriptions! Mesprits entry was bonkers 😂 much love you two

[@badams83]

Yeah have me red in face laughing so hard lol.

[@MaxWeb2599]

2:05 "lets talk about what's under your clothes" I've had heard worse intros of advertisements

[@BlackBoyLost92]

Honestly forgot the them we fight aspect lmao I was happy to just watch y'all do backstory for 48 minutes

[@southpaw3376]

No Gameboy Luke was hurt in this video😂😂😂😂

[@MD_ReCOiL]

The team building phase of this video was the best part of any video I've watched in ages!!

[@shawnaroberts21]

20:30 Fun fact about hyenas: they are actually related to mongeese. You know the little weasel like animals that fight cobras. Meerkats (ex. Timone from Lion King) are part of this family as well.

[@JazzMaster01]

Shady talking about Wooper: "He's holding his resume" no Shady, he isn't holding ANYTHING😂

[@CarlosThadeu]

Hey, Wooper can learn ice punch, maybe he is doing that to hold the resume 😂

[@tcgjunkie5715]

22 minutes of shady and vinny telling stories is the best content i never knew i wanted

[@panza2072]

You know you were kind of on point with the Gengar. In PMD red/blue rescue team. It was a Ninetails that cursed Gardevoir's trainer and turned him into a Gengar. That ish went too deep shady. Way to deep. That part of the game made me cry as a kid

[@pandie_cube]

You know this is going be a good one when Vinny and Shady are in the video. These past stories are wild and out of pocket fr got me cackling the whole video 🤣😂

[@Youareagreatperson]

For me, I just loved the Gyarados on Talonflame’s Moxie ability. Bravo!

[@elite4ky564]

I'm not even halfway through the video and already saved it to my favorites to rewatch. I'm crying from these descriptions!

[@Stogen]

"Just give me the little girl" - Shady 2024 @12:04

[@lukevickers9581]

This probably goes down as one of the most hilarious Pokemon videos I have watched in awhile. So many of the backstories for these Pokemon had me dying of laughter!🤣

[@rhatala27]

Can't wait for you guys to start doing Mega videos again after the Legends ZA reveal.

[@DanThornton-uk8ei]

You next one should be "Choose your starter knowing only what their best Job title would be!" For example Pelipper is the best Mailman

[@rickrusaw915]

More of these with you and Vinny please. Best piece of content yall have put out all year and I have been watching EVERYTHING 😂😂

[@alexheldman]

4:45 must be the worst description of any Pokemon featured in a TWF like this; then again, Vinny is acustomed to badly describing Pokemon from his own Shorts 😂 😂

[@samaelo9305]

God I wish they knew the lore of Phantump. Can you imagine Vinny just being like "this kid got lost in the forest, was never found again, and reincarnated as a stump". Ugh

[@dib279]

Newer viewer and I love the content. I’ve been going back over a year of your stuff. If you read the comments my favorite part is the knowledge and explanation of abilities and choices

[@CloudPharoah]

I love when you do vids with Vinny the chemistry between you two is just so great

[@darkmask5933]

I love watching Vinny and JOHN do videos together! It's impossible not to end up laughing. XD Vinny cracked the code. As long as he doesn't use swagger before a match, he won't get swept!

[@Turtlesrocks]

Lol i dont even want the battles anymore, give me like Choose 100000 Pokemon from knowing their past, this is fantastic!

[@kingxavierlovely]

Deoxys, Origin form Dialga, and Dawn Wings Necrozma, but its the Alolan Exeggutor that did the most work lol. Gotta love pokemon.

[@beesutton1717]

“This isn’t an owl..this is a bird” 😂💀 batting 0-2 on that one hahaha

[@Windaddy1]

The banter between you guys is always phenomenal!

[@ChefBoyerdee]

Video breakdown: 95% 2 wonderful gents creating HORRIBLE descriptions 4% battle 1% meundies ad And I couldn't love it more. 😂

[@BrawlerClaws67]

I love how you both throw in elements from previous backstories to add to new stories. Also you two are the funniest duo.

[@bacca5656]

I personally think the descriptions of the Pokémon should be a lot worse so you cant just instantly know but still amazing video < 3

[@jamesbailey4304]

One of my favorite things about Shady and Vinny doing a video together is that I know that no matter how it ends, I'll be grinning by the end of it :D

[@ljm4094]

Probably the only then we fight video that’s 80% choosing the Pokémon lmao

[@SKMedia252]

I honestly did not care what happened with the battle the first part of the video was amazing, Vinnys definitely the best choice for it. We NEED more of this!

[@joningram9898]

High quality content as always! Sentimental note though, gotta thank you for like an actual decade of quality content. Getting to watch you grow as a man and continue to be an inspiration for upcoming poketubers has been fantastic. More than that you’ve continued to be an outstanding human being. Growing into fatherhood myself with your vods and streams has been a splash of dopamine that I’ve needed, often when I’ve needed it most. Keep up the outstanding work, keep up the never ending grind of fathering 3 wonderful kids, and keep your head up when those times feel tough. Thank you for everything you’ve done for your community, and for the people’s lives you’ve touched through years of laughs.

[@zeoark]

I usually never comment on videos but this is got to be one of my favorite videos. Vinny and Shady cracking up over the Ceruledge and Flutter Mane is so funny. Keep being you guys

[@thriller96]

Ya know a video is one of the best u see when 3 things happen 1. U guys being best friends and telling dumb but cool stories about Pokemon 2. When u can't stop laughing from such a great video And 3. When 90% of the video is just them talking and laughing and the last 10% is one of the friends just dunking and running rough shot on the other lol

[@fortifi3d]

Dear Mr. Penguin - I'd love to see you do a lets fight where you know the random abilities before choosing! I think that would be a good one. Thanks for supplying constant entertainment!

[@ladyV-hara]

I absolutely love Shady and Vintendo together. They always have such a good time 😂

[@Hip-Gnosis1134]

You and Vinny’s world building for Pokémon is pretty impressive.

[@vish2720]

Blud brought a team with 3 legends and that damn Tree popped! I was at work watching this & it was hell trying not to literally LOL

[@jayschofield2472]

This was so good, please do this again, with Dylan or Frank or even better MATT, matt would be so funny doing this. You and vinnie are absolutely hilarious, loved this.

[@mytylp2589]

This is the greatest video I have ever seen. 2 creative legends make for a fun video

[@getshwifty3101]

The Deoxys backstory that SHOULD'VE been. "This is an anime villain, if I saw one, Vinny. He MADE his own head into a crown. And after doing that....he decided that he wanted to enslave all of humanity. Soooo, he made his arms into whips.....Y'know...to enslave us. And.....unless an anime hero manages to appear, psshhh....I mean......He actually MIGHT do it."

[@x-Lilith-x]

Forget the battle, give 2 hours of these 2 coming up with Pokémon backstories, comedy gold

[@XzavioresSaviores]

I love Vintendo's laugh at 11:57 that shit had me rolling XD

[@SweetBananaDigital]

That was the most unhinged starter-choosing segment I’ve ever seen and I love it.

[@Guardian1771]

Vinny had a dog, cat, and mouse as options but didn’t make any jokes for it lol

[@thatmomentwhen345]

I adore the running jokes that develop throughout these videos

[@theconductor8854]

Loved the tie in with pants down around your ankles. Comedy!

[@TotallyNotSena]

"let's talk about what's under your clothes.." And I'm like, oh my gosh, Shady..~

[@5kolby]

Vinny is so freakin hilarious. You guys are dynamic together

[@MrSmbai]

These stories get longer and longer and I am here for it!

[@dannyzhou96]

omg, my face hurts to bad from smiling and laughing. i also love that the fight was less then 6 mins, literally about 20% of the video.

[@N7Landry]

Tell me there isn't anything better than two mates laughing about anything 😂

[@tylltalius1551]

Video Suggestion "We select starters based on level up typings" So something like Squirtle would have Normal, Water, Dark and Steel moves. So the game would be around trying to guess Pokémon that would learn those types of moves.

[@Stepheroussnape]

The voices getting higher as the stories get crazier is WILD 😂

[@rasmuffin6111]

12:05 "Just gimme the little girl" is CRAZY BRO

[@krystaloftheshores]

You guys did GREAT with this one. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 One of the funniest Pokémon vids I’ve seen in a WHILE. 😭😭😭 I need more. PLEASE do more. 🙏🏻🙏🏻💗💗💗

[@CyanSkyAnfall]

Awesome battle! Even though Shady lost it was great seeing Torterra in a battle for a change😁. So thank you for that. For Gengar I think I would’ve said something like, “For ages, and even to this day, people hate this Pokemon just because they can’t see its different skin tone! That is unless they enough *mega*cough cough gigabytes”

[@muggeh3201]

bro that mention of spore was so cool, i love that game!!!

[@aards]

this video is so good i didn’t even think there was gonna be a battle

[@buggus0034]

This was exactly the kind of narrative chaos I needed on a Wednesday morning.

[@squiddeus2815]

Love how wild this vid is

[@klgonzwastakenbymydad]

Shady: “Just give me the little girl.” That’s crazy.

[@raymondstrayer1699]

These stories are just............... the greatest things I've heard in my life. 📖 ❤ Well done to both poketubers. I was laughing so much. Thank you for making my day. 😂

[@blackhawk647]

The description and the reactions are killing. Love you guys. 😂😂😂

[@ShockRox]

7:11 Contrary Draco? Soon as I saw that set I checked Exeggutor-A's SpA (it's 125, btw) and when I did I thought, "Vincenzo 'Tendo sittin' pretty today!"

[@badams83]

Boy I like this take on it so fun with the backstories

[@HeyItsMayBug]

This was one of the funniest videos…I can’t even. Y’all’s stories were THEE most ridiculous. I laughed and greatly enjoyed my time watching this. Keep it up, dudes. 😂

[@naosgaming8240]

You should do a video where you get someone who doesn’t know anything about Pokémon and have them describe what the Pokémon in a certain way!

[@pyroknave]

Father wants to know what's in our britches... oh my

[@AnnoDean.AnnaSetzer]

This is my new favorite random battle concept

[@takeaseat8728]

I love that all of Vinny’s were so highly specific that you could guess at least two every round 😂

[@CobM86]

4 year old's dex entry is a great idea You should do one where a kid has described each of the options!

[@Guardian1771]

You and Vinny is the funniest combo lol

[@coreymuirhead3582]

Shady's breakfast going forward is now a broom that used to be eggs in badly described pokemon
