Despite All My Gall I Am Still Just a Monk in a Ball | Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble IMPRESSIONS

Despite all my strife, I am still banned from Chili’s for life

[@rhyspieces5718]

Why

[@prognosticii]

Did you also mis-understood it as "baby's back ribs"?

[@lnsflare1]

I'm pretty sure that is more "because of" rather than "despite."

[@lawjef]

I wonder how many viewers got the Smashing Pumpkins reference in the video title

[@orangejello3263]

​@@lawjefAbsolutely no one, no one knows that song or band.

"his natural habitat... A giant ball" what is happening WHY IS THIS VIDEO SO FUNNY

[@elsamarks8477]

My favorite Kane/Arlo interactions on Twitter was when he sent you a photo of a duck on a swing that said “despite Burger King I am Still just a duck on a swing.” Lives rent free in my head as they say

Ok ai ai joke is probably your best so far

[@mattpecas3852]

Right! I actually thought that all of Ai ai´s sections were better than the impressions video (which by the way wasn´t bad at all)

[@jameslawrenson1208]

Monkey Balls are NOT air conditioned.

[@petermcpherson1882]

That Ai-ai cosplay is top notch

[@elsamarks8477]

They gave it to him when they put out the 2021 game!!

[@ChristopherMoreno005]

I’ve missed seeing Arlo do skits in videos. Glad to see that again, they make me laugh.

[@Xenado22]

He did one like, last week with SMT😂

I can't explain why but this comment is unbelievably funny

Im a huge fan of the series and just beat the story mode, and in my opinion this is the first one to live up to the OG GameCube games. It feels so good!

I always love arlo’s skits and the commitment to them. When sponic or other universe arlo or some other third thing show up you know it’s gonna be funny

[@LibertyLocalizer]

Despite all my tuppet, I'm still just a hand in a Muppet

[@Mojo1356]

Okay- I would not mind if Sega continues to sponsor Arlo even if it’s only for these great sketches.

[@tombcruisin]

perfect demonstration of how great execution can elevate a cliche skit idea. 10/10 had me wheezing

[@bluedart]

This may be my favorite sponsor bit you've ever done, and that's saying something.

[@tweak04]

I like the nod to the to Fozzy from the Muppets, whether intentional or not. "A bear it his natural habitat...a Studebaker."

[@Vrikrar]

I imagine putting hats on puppets is probably very fun.

[@Torvinoid]

Sometimes I'm amazed by Arlo's ability to make me watch an ad lol. That was excellent

[@calvinhobbes1010]

7:16 My personal go-to example for something like this is Super Meat Boy (same initials, funnily enough). Each time you die in a level in that game, you're almost immediately taken back to the start of that level, and each time you clear a level, an easily-skippable results screen appears, and you're immediately taken to the next level. More games need to do stuff like this IMO

[@wordedhalo6746]

We Smashing Pumpkins with this one! 🔥

[@MusharnaMush]

you mean bananas?

Banana Collie & The infinite sadness

Rest in peace.

Just when he thinks he's out, they pull Arlo back in.

[@OutHereOnThePerimeter]

Saw this title in a thumbnail at the end of another one of your vids, and despite honestly not really caring about this game I had to come here just to applaud you for it. You deserve a Pulitzer for this one.

[@TheAwesomeDarkNinja]

"Despite all my rage-" 🎃🎃🎃🔨

"I am still just a rat in a cage!!!"

[@Sygmus6]

I love Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, as does Arin Hanson of Game Grumps.

[@samplautz5586]

I love the Smashing Bananas reference for the title

[@mahius19]

Amazing effort on this video Arlo, the costumes and such remind me of AngryJoes classic style of reviews, where the extra effort made the reviews worth watching. More like this and I'll keep watching them , even if I don't have interest in the game being reviewed itself. Keep it up, I look forward to Sponic as a returning character in future reviews!

[@pro-toman]

Despite all my bravado, I still cannot eat this old avocado. Sunk cost fallacy everyone!

[@JaAiden]

Here I was feeling sorry for Aiarlo. It seemed like the ending was gonna' be sad. So glad Arlo spun it around (ha) with that great joke at the end.

[@Omada828]

I saw the thumbnail recommended even though I watched the video already and just wanted to say how great the skits were in this one, truly great stuff man

[@BryceFletch]

I have never loved an intro more in my life. Need more Sponic in my life

[@pinkplatformboots]

love when you put skits in these reviews! needed a good laugh this morning, thanks arlo!

[@daynnethedrummer684]

Okay you earned a like from that pun alone 😂

[@nowhere_dan]

arlo is such a breath of fresh air just genuine excitement and wholesome fun

[@superstache7173]

This title is glorious

[@tora_scrolls]

2:41 Ai-Ai definitely had fun

[@dominicyeomans8107]

Can you believe that aiai was contractionally bound by SEGA to not talk about the game until June.

[@annarenfold438]

We all use adblockers and skip the sponsoered parts on regular videos. But people (and little monster fellas) like Arlo make watching an ad enjoyable. Honestly, some ads from when I was younger were creative, snarky and funny, even the ones from KZbin channels.

[@nicklinn5731]

Monkey ball is one of those series that I have really fond memories of playing as a kid, but really don’t enjoy much at all as an adult.

[@saschb]

The perfect title doesn’t exi-

[@hadookin47]

MONKY'S THE ONE FOR MEEE HE'S MY ONE AND only.

[@Gala_KM]

Never played Monkey Ball before, but ever since I saw the trailer I've been itching to try it. Looks really fun!

[@woodchi]

Really enjoy Arlo’s skits. Thanks for the laughs!

[@chisecrecy4974]

I definitely share your thoughts on a story campaign, Arlo. That's one of the elements I really enjoyed about Mario Maker 2 as well. Despite how simple it was, it still felt like it added a solid chunk of my time spent playing the game and motivated me to play and make more levels. Also, thank you for letting Ai-Ai get out of there unharmed. I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight if I didn't know he was okay.

This is definitely a top tier opening and closing sketch, and I simply cannot resist a video for monkey rolling action!

[@CallMeCardboard]

Gotta love a good ‘ol Arlo video about BALLS

[@JAM609]

Love the idea of Arlo getting wrapped up in a world trotting monkey ball adventure

[@lukethephantomthief]

The last time i played Monkey Ball i wanted to break my controller…prolly not best to replicate that experience cuz i’m just bad at these games

[@mrshmuga9]

Saw a GX review (NintenDaan), and apparently the difficulty curve is more gradual and not as difficult. But also has a bunch of key features like a dash, checkpoints, and you can choose levels (within a world I think) in any order. Haven’t played yet, but I felt similar because I never even beat SMB2. There was some level later on where you basically had to get hit by a spinning thing into a goal and it felt nigh impossible. I don’t think they’re that unfair, but I’m going off someone else’s word.

[@DC_Prox]

I really love sponsorship deals like this. You get some well-deserved money AND early access to a game you enjoyed, Sega gets an entire video devoted to their product on a popular channel AND they get some intelligent constructive feedback. It feels like everybody wins. I especially wanted to bring up the constructive feedback because I agree that they really should keep that charged dash in future Monkey Ball titles, and I like the idea that this video might be a factor in helping that happen. Hashtag keepdashinmonkeyball?

[@darcidious99]

Arlo is the monster with the gall, and he does want something a bit meatier

[@TheNightmare75II]

He's the MVP. You're all thinking it.

[@a3rw-l2c]

Never thought I'd laugh so hard after looking at just a title

[@ThePkmnYPerson]

4:22 WHAT?! I've played these games for as long as I can remember and I've never noticed you're tilting the stage instead of moving the ball.

[@TaliesinMyrddin]

The entire franchise is based off an old toy where you'd try to get balls to fall into holes in a board by tilting it

[@ThePkmnYPerson]

@@TaliesinMyrddin Didn't know that either. Thanks for sharing that fun fact.

[@Zordyn]

Thats the entire selling point of the franchise how did you not know this?????

[@ThePkmnYPerson]

@@Zordyn I'm just dumb, I guess.

[@knate44]

Wait, did he tie the sponsor gag storyline into the game's new feature? That's genius i love it.

10:00 - The balls are impact-resistant glass, at least according to one of the commercials for this game.

For a game that is from the same house as the hedgehog, I'm surprised that a spindash wasn't added earlier. I love that in house synergy.

[@CrowTRobot]

I just wish they cared as much about the multiplayer and party games as they do the single player. I still feel burned by Banana Mania but I’m trying to open my heart to this one 😭

[@hexbug101]

They definitely listened, they added simultaneous multiplayer for the main game in addition to the 5 pretty polished party games

[@CrowTRobot]

I should have clarified that my issue was with BM specifically and I’m sad that I still have to bust out my GameCube game to enjoy Market Target and Bowling. I had heard that the party games in this one were disappointing (see:NintendoLife) but I’ve been glad to hear differing opinions on that. Might grab this after all, the single player looks great.

You should try out the Gamecube version with some Friends or 1 Friend. There are minigame modes like: Monkey Raze, Monkey Golf etc. And the Levels are getting more of a Challenge later on. Would be funny to that gameplay.
