Franchise Score: Kirby - Delayed Input with Kyle Bosman

[@timbentley4397]

Sat there wondering how he's gonna scientifically place a honk to make me laugh now I know it's coming and he somehow still nails it.

[@keyboard_g]

Kirby already had his TV series. Eat your heart out, Halo.

[@abxy2257]

Okay that honk definitely got me. Good job Kyle.

[@stprinz]

I can't believe this channel has less than 40.000 subscribers as of today 😳😔 Love your work since the Final Bosman days ♥️

[@JazGalaxy]

I have absolutely no idea why, but I would posit it’s because the show “isn’t anything”. Bowl would you describe it to someone who you wanted to watch? I watched the Final Bosman once and didn’t like it because, at the time, I didn’t know anything about Kyle. After I saw him on Easy Allies I started to understand his sense of humor.

[@karamitros20]

He Just needs a suit and a semi serious "talkshow host "looking setup to skyrocket .

[@insipiddisease]

Tell your friends about Bosman!

[@COlimar788]

Man, Whispy Woods IS Kirby's Joker.

[@RichKnight36]

You know what, I always expect you to be jokey and not take anything serious, but you raised some genuinely great points in this episode about the Kirby franchise that I never even considered. Great work

[@PuNiShEdSiciliangamer]

God I love this channel. Kyle Bosman is one of the most underrated voices in the industry

[@SMLAllen2]

Kirby's two lines of dialogue slayed me. Great stuff!

[@JPADRINOJR]

Im so happy that you came back. I missed you so much. Thanks for the awesome content

[@rodwinmalinga]

There is no way Kyle can resist putting a Shrek joke in next week's episode.

[@JohnGuyJohn]

He's got our guard down.

[@chunglemcbungus8801]

this honking around thing is about to go both ways

[@hundredhanded1205]

"shit." - Kirby

[@y2kyle89]

Kirby is Nintendo's workhorse. He doesn't always bring in the big bucks but he always gets his budget back. Also, Kracko is Kirby's Joker. Almost every game this thunder cloud goes out of his way to murder Kirby.

[@JohnGuyJohn]

I have no idea whether Kyle is truly done with Shrek or not.

[@kephalai]

inb4 shrek is the one tooting the honk

[@LocardIII]

@@kephalai the Shronk, if you will.

[@MarioNintendoh]

This entire episode was on point.

[@simeonpaskell]

Gotta say....that 'honk!' was beautifully timed. I'm genuinely belly laughing! 😂 👍🏻

[@theratking261]

I read the comments and knew a honk was coming but I still laughed. That was expertly placed

[@TalesOfNerdiaChris]

Kyle on icons: In the case of Kirby, it's JUST Kirby. Me: He's gotta be trolling, Metaknight is iconic Kyle: Everyone else, ESPECIALLY Metaknight, is...weak Me: EMOTIONAL DAAAAMAGE!!

[@Piece4Peace911]

I don't know anything about Kirby lore, but I remember Meta Knight wanted to take over Dreamland, because he thought the populace was becoming lazy, so he wanted to militarize Dreamland or something. That's all I know of him, besides his superb voice acting in Right Back At 'Ya.

[@ryanklaus2970]

Loved the video, keep doing you!

[@lewiep]

The bit about ending Shrek jokes is pretty funny lol

[@drohnenfabrik]

Thank you for Delayed Input, Kyle!

[@Luceshoe13]

This was a great episode, Kyle. I enjoy the heart to heart Shrek discussion.

[@Crokto]

shrek's retirement gonna last as long as brady's

[@kewlbot]

i don’t know how u always put out bangers but u do

[@taymond2722]

You gotta make "Goomba: Not Ready for a Relationship" Merch, Kyle, you gotta.

[@MasDouc]

*Nintendo's lawyers salivating*

[@pennyisdreadful]

i think a few seconds earlier is the sweet spot for this bit of comedy science. The place you put it actually scared me

[@henrikvarhall7693]

Thonks for a great episode!

[@nyrisj]

Kyle Bosman is a fucking killer. Amazing work.

[@Ubersuntzu]

He hid the shrek in the honk. Clever.

[@dabajabaza111]

I definitely think Kirby exists in a cozy spot. Nothing needs to be changed. Just keep doing what you're doing as you're doing it. Let it grow on its own. Don't chase trends. Don't make waves. Just have fun :)

[@CozyWizardVibes]

I always liked Kirby, but was never crazy about the series. Always felt like it had potential to be bigger. This game will hopefully put it in the big leagues.

[@burner9481]

Narrator: It didn't.

[@The_SOB_II]

A lot of the earlier Kirby games that had the most intrigue came out towards the end of their system's life cycle. This includes all my favorite Kirby games: Adventure for NES, Superstar and Dreamland 3 for SNES, and 64 for 64. Am I full of shit? Do I know what I'm talking about? Who cares.

[@JazGalaxy]

@@The_SOB_II it really is weird how Kirby games always came at the end of the cycle. As an early adopter of next gen systems, I was always on the next thing when Kirby came and, not owning a gameboy, i was always pretty unaware of him until smash brothers.

[@LOLWUTHERING]

These have been, back-to-back, the strongest two episodes of this series yet. Really sharp, tight, all-killer eps. Delights, even.

[@Stefferp]

it's cause of the honks

[@KevinJennissen]

Tbh, we should actually probably replace Shrek with Chegduff.

[@Exxcalibur186]

I second this.

[@MarcelE80]

I love your sense of humor, Kyle

[@zacharyqueyrouze6604]

Kyle almost cracking up when he did his weekly "this iiiis" bit.

[@HPRshredder]

anything less than a 100/100 i riot

[@kenanarmyansyah9520]

POYO!

[@AlexHeisEngholm]

POYO ✝️!

[@KineBuds]

I give the Bosman franchise 420 out of 69

[@dearkazuscorner2549]

lol the "not ready for a relationship" joke struck a nerve in me...well played, Bosman!

[@Janiz1998]

Solid B. Perfect for such a consistent series. I was afraid you would be super mean to Kirby. I love Kirby. His games are perfect for a bad gamer like me

[@Bulldozer4000]

Kirby is my favorite Nintendo series for reasons I can't quite explain, but I'm very happy the new game is finally making that leap to 3D and getting more people interested in the franchise. But your scandalous slander against Dedede will not go unpunished.

[@DustinSince19XX]

Not even joking, right after you got done explaining the HONK joke and how you were going to make it work..... I heard a honk outside of my window. It blew my mind. And yes, I was pooping while watching this.

[@TorQueMoD]

This will be on a scale of 1 - 100 and then shows us a graphic from 0 -100. Love it!

[@neweartharmy3923]

Oh man, I vividly remember being shocked to the core when I first heard Kirby saying "Shit!". The fact that it was only the second word he had ever spoken just added to the impact of that specific scene

[@PickleInspector]

Kyle coming out swinging against Susie and Adeline. I can't abide.

[@RoxYgen03]

I wish him the best.

[@franciscobutte]

Kirby is just necessary for the industry. Never change.

[@LongForgottenOne]

I wish you well Bosman

[@MuddyMoleMania]

As a kid who grew up not playing any Kirby games but watching the cartoon, King Dedede and Meta Knight are absolutely iconic.

[@The_Crooked_Step]

I thought he said "hawk", and busted out laughing when the honk arrived.

[@HeyListenRadio]

No more Shrek? What the fuck is this shit? Honks? We want farts!

[@George-gp7bw]

You're the best!

[@ariwl1]

Ok...I laughed throughout this episode but something about that intro just really got me. XD

[@TheSpeedfoever]

Kirby has no weakness Kirby is God!

[@Emulcool]

THe preview last week was a liiiiiiieeee.

[@TrynePlague]

Funny thing, if you google for "Kirby review", you will find vacuum cleaners...

[@AManNamedBabs]

good job kyle good job kirby

[@WarrenEBB]

honestly hoping kyle puts together a full body shrek suit for next week's episode, never mentions it, and just looks miserable in it.

[@ottojagenstedt9740]

Well you nailed the honk thats for sure

[@have345]

And the award for comedic timing is now forever yours😂😂😂😂

[@GigaMan91]

Whispy Woods or some offshoot of him is the first boss in every Kirby game, so he's definitely iconic.

[@mountain_p4th]

I was really surprised that he wasn't the boss in the Forgotten Land demo

[@nathanielcassim]

Season 2 of delayed input does not begin with new clothes, but begins with a honk and death of an ogre

[@ocha-time]

Thumbs up at Kirby's vocabulary

[@MrDochorrible]

The world demands a franchise leaderboard.

[@7patterj]

Genius

[@natk8541]

Hi, Patron since season 1 here. Commenting before watching. If I disagree with your assessment, I will be withdrawing my pledge on Patreon. Kirby is one of the easiest examples I can think of for a franchise that deserves an extremely high Franchise Score. Mario has higher peaks but overall I think he WISHES he was Kirby. Will edit after watching with my verdict. EDIT: You pass. 84 is perfectly fair. I would have increased my tier if you had given an 86 though.

[@metalmilitia89]

100 is always big butts.

[@MasDouc]

Even knowing the honk was coming I still died

[@schtive81]

Kyle: "This is what Kirby has to say about 2022" *Kirby swallows an old car* Kyle: "I don't like what Kirby has to say....I do think he's right..." Is Kirby telling everyone to go Pink, instead of Green?

[@d_shuffles]

Nightmare in dreamland was one of my favorite games as a kid. No kirby game has surpassed it. Im incredibly hopeful on this new game.

[@uberdonut]

I think I heard the hidden honk in this episode but I'll have to rewatch to make sure

[@Exxcalibur186]

I just really love that Cowboy Kirby art 😄

[@wdulmage]

good for kirby

[@k-mac9798]

No Shrek this week?

[@labrynianrebel]

"Consume. Get excited for next consumption." -Tinkle Popo

[@miscsloan8834]

honk for shrek

[@spriles]

How dare you sir! I have two paintings of King Dedede hanging up in my work office!

[@Ruskles06]

Downvoted for saying Shrek is no longer cool. He undid the wish because he knew he had messed up and would anything for his family, that's a real G right here.

[@ultimadrago]

Good job on the Franchise Score, Kirby! Now amke Forgotten Land a hit!

[@4ScoreSlappy]

Kyle I hope you’ve planned next seasons fashion theme to go with your custom goomba t-shirt idea.

[@Digniax]

good for Kirby 🥺

[@uselesspatty3290]

Love the shirt

[@mikeymaiku]

My man

[@orijimi]

"Memes don't make anybody any money." You're joking, right?

[@swalsh216]

You're right--I would buy that shirt.

[@sgt_grumbles]

Kirby Right Back at’cha will be proven to be the superior series to Halo’s Paramount+ affair

[@requiem9167]

Kirby is high fantasy vore. Love it

[@ColeTrain54]

I love your shirt Kyle. I want one myself lol

[@ThumpingThromnambular]

My greatest fantasy

[@EnidTheGamesNihilist]

Loved this ep! Would you consider adding closed captions?

[@Slacker_Becker]

You should have the option for CC. They show up on my end. CC take awhile to generate after a video is uploaded; it's possible you watched before they were available.

[@KyleBosman]

I'm always posting episodes immediately after I finish editing them so closed captions usually get added on Sunday, thanks to the work of Screaming Argonaut

[@suplextrain]

Honestly yeah, Kirby is the only character I like the design of in his franchise. Improving the designs would definately help.

[@BobberWCC]

Honks appreciated

[@who_me7199]

Yup the honk got me lmao

[@Dy1andilion]

Why when I was fully expecting the honk I just laughed. Omg Kyle!

[@The_RedVIII]

I'm all down for the honk.

[@LordYggdrasill]

Press F to pay respshrekts.

[@charoleawood]

F

[@GATESOFKELL]

Kyle's really showing a massive generational gap by saying Dedede and Meta Knight aren't icons. Any kid who grew up with a GBA/DS or played any serviceable amount of Brawl, probably very easily recognizes and loves those two characters.

[@gankhef5564]

The honk worked.

[@legendofkailia5596]

So.....no shrek this episode?

[@superbro6413]

I wont lie, the honk got me

[@unluckyseven7]

great honks here
