These backwards music quizzes are great. More office quizzes please.

[@Crybaton]

The fact that the DOOM Soundtrack slays backwards just as much as forwards is evident for it's brilliance

[@icmorgan1]

Crybaton same thing with any of the wonderful songs from hotline Miami. Especially the songs by MOON

[@javgoblin]

Isaiah Morgan Dust is my personal fave.

[@icmorgan1]

javgoblin oh definitely! As well as blizzard!!!

[@fishpop]

BFG Division fucking RIPS!

[@mitiamed]

Tood tood!

[@araisikewai]

You should play the song forward when confirming the answer.

[@jamesofaustralia8193]

Copyright issues tho, plus vid would be twice as long 🤷‍♂️

Final Fantasy 7 Battle theme sounds the same backward. Lmao.

[@axeldornelles5292]

And speeded up or down.

[@LordOfTheWhores]

yeah how could they not get that

[@y2dereko]

The exact same

[@twistedbard]

Many of these are clearly not really reversed. They are forward with a reverse effect, usually, at every beat or note.

[@Quinnsula5]

I know

[@garlicmayo96]

Scott Tailford is what it would look like if a member of smashmouth worked in cex

[@NinjaKnight117]

I was yelling at my phone when no one could of guessed the FF7 battle music. Jesus, if you played that game for like 10 minutes you would of recognized that soundtrack. It sounded almost the same backwards lol.

[@7dogguy]

I never even played Final Fantasy 7 and I knew that was from Final Fantasy 7

[@Goobers-gf3um]

Plum Darkness funnily enough, I’ve never played a final fantasy before. (Shock horror, I know I’m so uncultured) but as hard as it may be for you to believe, when that soundtrack played I couldn’t help but think of my prior unimpressive knowledge of final fantasy. I couldn’t guess _which_ ff game it was from, but I guess the music alone is unique and infamous enough that even a novice like me could guess it..

[@KRob811]

Nova infamous?

[@diverman467]

This was a fun way to start the morning

[@icmorgan1]

Same here

[@a_ley_cable1383]

I yelled METAL GEAR SOLID in less then a second of hearing it, and I was so annoyed how none of them got it, I wonder if Scott would’ve got that one 🤔🤔🤔

[@hazwaste]

I did the exact same thing. Even threw my arms up in the air out of disgust when it was announced.

[@a_ley_cable1383]

@@CreekGamingMontages absolutely!!! The Metal gear franchise has the best music in gaming history!! Even the MSX games have beautiful 8-bit soundtracks

Same

I've never even played any of the MGS games and even my response was that sounds like something that would be in one of the MGS games.

[@alsokyle]

the world came to a halt as 8000 frustrated viewers yelled "FINAL FANTASY SEVEN" in unison this morning - authorities are baffled

Make that 8001 now XD

[@vovin8132]

@@willstanton7823 Definitely 8002 now

[@Chigen_Atomic]

UT was Megalovania. I thought we were doing themes, unless that's the theme of the game. I love MGS and I didn't recognize that.

[@Ctoves56]

Me: Oh the gong gives it away. Clearly MK Scott: MK never had a gong

[@homegrowntwinkie]

[@donniejefferson9554]

The gong immediately made me think mk but the song sounded so unfamiliar I didnt think it could be

[@Vertraic]

@@donniejefferson9554 I went and looked up the song, and they ended right before the identifiable part. They started ~7 seconds in and went back to the start, the really identifiable stuff starts 7 seconds in.

[@michaelowensnc]

What a great idea. More of this, please!

[@codym5352]

Highly disappointed the intro song wasn't reversed

[@grandasalt2753]

Or the outro.

[@Justin-sl3sb]

I'm just sitting here, keeping up my "never played a Final Fantasy game" record, while all of the comments are breaking the laws of thermodynamics by summoning heat out of nowhere while complaining about them not getting FF7 instantly. Where my "How did you not get Portal 2!?" boys at?

[@Mr.Pallanza]

I can no longer unsee *_O L A H_* from the thumbnail. Like "Ola" with a classy accent.

[@Insaneian]

Scott missing Mortal Kombat is hilarious...but them all taking so long to guess it when it was painfully obvious was depressing. The gong at the end was the biggest givaway!

Happy birthday Josh 🎉

[@___Nightbreeze]

I will agree with Scott that it wasn't the correct version of Mortal Kombat at 6:43. But otherwise he was very sore about this, haha. You can go listen to the theme and also listen to it reversed, and besides the gong, the one in this video sounds like it's been filtered/had a lot of sounds cut out.

[@timothyshanks2843]

This was really cool, I enjoy these quizzes! Can’t wait for the next one!

[@Tosolo-dh2co]

Gotta love how they got the most out there, random games like... Pong, but completely blanked out of Final f**ng fantasy 7. I haven't played it and even I got that one

[@fishpop]

FF7 was SO obvious, how did they not recognise it? Portal was tough until it changed near the end. MGS didn't immediately trigger my recollection but by the 2nd play of it; i knew it.

[@Justin-sl3sb]

The giveaway for portal was in the background of the music

[@tyrannicpuppy]

The quizzes are absolutely mint. Please keep doing them. Such lovely fun.

[@Myles5000]

Shout out to Scott Tailford's shirt. Hyper Light Drifter was a great time.

[@Gamamus]

Every time they do these, I'm stunned when they miss easy ones. I've played maybe 30 minutes of FF7 and I knew that one.

[@Sp7ce]

Ash Millman is so freaking pretty!!!

[@orsonlepherd7064]

I know right!

[@varunchaturvedi2581]

Quite surprised that no one recognised Portal 2!

[@neonmole9453]

There are so many great video game soundtracks, you must be able to do another one of these

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

Haa! That absolutely WAS Mortal Kombat 1🤦‍♂️ Scott did Not want to believe that 😆👍

[@pite9]

2:53 A (wo)man of culture would have already heard Megalovania backwards and would recognize it immediately.

[@chrisgodfrey1880]

Scott seriously has to be one of the most sore losers I've ever seen. Quiz after quiz he gets so upset when he's wrong or loses

[@MikeWilsonBarrett]

How nobody got Metal Gear Solid is beyond me lol. So easy so iconic.

[@Klffsj]

A little sad they didn't have Utada Hikaru's "Sanctuary" in the challenge. After all, that song was designed to listen to backwards.

[@jijonbreaker]

It's entirely possible it WAS in there, but they skipped so many tracks, it didn't get played

[@CapHowdy]

I only got a few of these, but the Mortal Kombat one was obvious with that gong. How Scott can deny it is beyond me.

[@Kokozuii]

I love these quizzes. Looks like everyone is enjoying it. I got that Minecraft one immediately. Years of playing its stuck in the brain.

[@djpigzy3181]

When they played final fantasy 7 battle theme and non of them knew it in the first 10 seconds I think I cried

[@jrmayun]

[@DJGamingSmash]

I'm playing this with the double challenge of also playing it blind on double speed, and even I got Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid IMMEDIATELY. Unbelievable. Kicker is I've never played MGS and have only played a handful of hours of FFVII.
