LISA the Painful - Sticky, Cheeks, and Rick

In LISA the Painful, there are 3 side characters named Rick, Sticky, and Cheeks. These men are childhood friends of the main character, Brad Armstrong, and lived with him in Post-Flash Olathe. They were dedicated to living the rest of their lives out until the dying days of humanity claimed them all, but once Brad stumbled upon the last known Girl in Olathe, a rift began growing between these men that eventually led to the ruination of their friendship, and the doom of them all. This video recounts the stories of these men from the beginnings of that friendship until their deaths.
Also, (I say this at the end of the video as well) sorry if the story telling in this one is a little weird. I know it spends a lot of time talking about the relationship between the characters instead of their individual stories, but there really isn't a lot of information about these characters outside of that relationship. I hope you still enjoy the video nonetheless though! :)

Apparently the story was gonna be way different. Brad had a BIOLOGICAL son who (like rando) had something bad happen to his face. I forgot where buddy fit into the original plot.

[@vincenthawthorne9360]

@@mizuno1361 Well I do legitimately think that the final story was better because this is my favorite type of story. The one where the protagonist is trying to do good but is unknowingly becoming an awful, most horrible person because of their warped ideas of what’s right and wrong and then maybe justified.

[@BEANSBEANSBEANS404]

@@mizuno1361 I heard the game was originally just going to be centered on the Brad/Dusty plot, where Rando was a seperate villain from Dusty, who wanted him to join his army. Plot details were switched around mid-development and Dusty/Rando were merged to make a further developed character, while the father/son plot stuck around for Buddy once LISA was incorporated with the plot.

I have a question to you I want your opinion on how you see the character Do you think Cheeks was supportive or against the plan of using Buddy for repopulation? Based on what little is given about him,what can you say on that question?

Depends on if you believe the Fan Games to be Canon (which the creator has acknowledged as canon). Like Pug said, he's killed by "a badass guy." Otherwise, I'm not sure what happens to him. Presumably died in the great Mutant-pocalypse that followed shortly after the Painful

[@pugstudio4876]

@@SquatchGamingChannel probably, because when the scene begins you can see Rick with a scar on the right eye and not on the left as it should be and then he is mutilated and imprisoned with his right eye opened which could not be seen before he was mutilated and They do not have much continuity and the only reason that could have led to that interview was the fame because it helped in large part to Rando and Sticky in their plan to save the world (maybe the people of Olathe recognized him as a hero) but I think what Squatch says makes more sense.

[@alistercade]

Its such a sad end as well for the friends, since there is this aura of perversion around them for taking Buddy. The idea Sticky raped her, that rick started this just to steal his daughter away, when the truth was so far from that. Sticky fought so hard to protect her, aligning with Rando's army, and even storming a group of Guzzo's men to save her. Rick spoke what needed to be said, and i think deep down that was what angered Brad so much. Despite all his paranoia, the uncles never harmed Buddy, in fact they gave there lives to save her. Amazing how seeing the whole picture can turn people, who honestly, i thought were monsters, into perhaps bigger hero's then Brad. These games had a story too them that is unlike anything i have seen. The trials of a broken man, to retrieve a daughter that is not even blood related. His body and mind sacrificed. And still he was sadly the main source of her pain...

[@SquatchGamingChannel]

What a great way to word everything! :) I believe the games do a great job of showing you that although what you believe what you're doing is right, there's someone out there that believes it's wrong, and sees you as the villain.

Brad's wearing his Gi when he ask sticky for painkillers which is why i think he goes to visit him after Buzzo makes a stop by Brad's dojo. Not after Rick says his life is awesome. Seems kinda weird he would be triggered from Rick, think "oh i gotta stop by my house and change out of this Hawaiian shirt and tank top into my instructors Gi before i see Sticky".

[@SquatchGamingChannel]

For sure, man. I didn't intend for the conclusion to be that IMMEDIATELY after Rick's he went to Sticky. I wanted to leave some open space around it which is why I worded it as "Sticky was the next one to see their friend..." as in the the next one out of the three. I honestly like and don't like talking about the past of the characters since it's pretty vague when things take place. I like it cause it's pretty freeing and I can kind of creatively talk about stuff, but at the same time, it can really upset some people. I've received quite a few comments from people asking me to "stop making stuff up." Idk. It's a mixed bag. Thanks for watching once again, man! I really appreciate it! :)

Many people say that Lisa borrows from "children of men" and "last of us", but many of those stories aim too much for realism and are more theme driven (Lisa is more character driven) I think LISA was inspired more by "a boy and his dog" of harlan ellison and obviously "hokuto no ken"; the similarities are many: -barren wasteland -sexual violence implied -dark humor -alot of crazy shit -martial arts -olathians having crazy powers withouth much explanation

"Sharing" buddy wouldn't have saved the world because by the are so stacked against repopulating a wasteland with one girl. Even if she didn't miscarry, die from childbirth, and birthed another girl, the time it would take would have every other character too old or who knows what else with like 20-30 kids at most. The last group of kids would be stuck with either incest or extinction which to me doesn't have much dignity Brad wasn't the best dad, but he knew Buddy would have been taken advantage of no matter how good the intentions are and tried his best to prevent that. Ricky and Sticky should have just tried giving Buddy her own space to be free from all the perverts and crazies of Olathe to give her the best chance of a happy life "She's just a kid..."

It is really hard to side with the people who consider Buddy as "Humanity's hope". It is scientifically impossible to save anything in this setting because of inbreeding. It is the greatest lie Buddy was told and that will enable her Messiah complex. Brad was an abuser but she has learned to survive thanks to him and wasn't sent to a camp waiting to be impregnated by people with no care for her. The trio could have tried to convince Brad over time to let Buddy some breathing room instead of backstabbing him. If only Brad wasn't such a failure.

[@vaquishers]

I'm not sure there's going to be inbreeding. There's enough men for that not to happen and by the time third cousin's reemerged inbreeding wouldn't even be a risk. In fact inbreeding isn't a risk at all.

[@crummycreator5548]

@@vaquishers but still, that's assuming Buddy survives multiple pregnancies without modern medicine. That's assuming she gives birth to girls (it's 50/50 but it's still a coin flip everytime.) That's assuming there aren't stillbirths or other complications and assuming her kids don't die from either the blighted world or some deadly sickness. Childbirth can go wrong in so many ways even now so I can't imagine it being a smooth process in Olathe. And then after she has 10 kids, let's say that they are all girls, then those girls have to get impregnated by men that would be very old at this point (and most of those men are gross scumbags.) Not impossible, but this assumption that the fate of the world is on one child (not even a women yet) is kinda of a shot in the dark anyway. And honestly, with how fucked the world is in The Painful, I'm not sure humanity is even worth saving.

[@acowinthebarn3312]

I really don't know if the dev genuinely thought this was a good cause for them to follow, or if he was just showing how desperate things had gotten. There's so many factors here that complicates things. Even if Brad HAD been a good parent, or if they had all agreed to give her to Rando, Buddy is her own person. Even if she WANTED to help repopulate, you can't repopulate with just one woman and a bunch of men - that gene pool is way too small and it feels like none of them acknowledge that. Plus, I really don't think people realize how scary a situation like this is - to feel like you're obligated to repopulate an entire species just because a bunch of OTHER people, who don't have to go through the trouble of being pregnant/the last of their gender, want you to. Going back to the gene pool thing; even IF you managed to dilute it, they'd all still be related, and much closer than how everyone in the world is "technically" related. The available, unrelated men would start to die off via old age or violence, or whatever else before the gene pool could even BEGIN to be sufficiently diluted. Olathe was always doomed after The Flash, Buddy or not.

[@crimson19]

True dat

[@podroznikzpustkowi4805]

We can actually debate about that. Because looking at how big the Gene pool can get with all the man (from Rando army alone) the chance of not destroying the genes is pretty optimistic and we know for sure that Rando (or his closes man) wouldn't force Buddy into anything.

[@SquatchGamingChannel]

Yeah, I've seen the old trailers, so I know what you're saying about them being his party initially. It definitely changed though. Idk about the Cheeks faking his death. It's more likely just a glitch in the game engine. If you go into the hut and come back out, he turns his head back around too.

Brad: "I don't want my tween daughter to be raped" Everyone else: "WHY DO YOU WANT TO GIVE HER A TEEN HYSTERECTOMY?"

[@Yormolch]

He made a ton of mistakes in her upbringing, but he tried his best. The definitive Edition makes it hurt even more, since it just adds more "No matter how hard you try, Brad is still gonna fuck up beyond your control as a player". It's really sad, that despite all his intentions, he still failed, [Spoilers for Definitive Edition from here on] but at least Buddy aknoledges that in the "true ending" of the Joyfull, comes to terms with Brads abusive behaviour and puts him to rest in a nice grave next to Dusty. It's still bittersweet, since the world is still doomed and everybody who cared for her is dead, but at least she found her peace of mind.

Quick question, I know people have asked for you to do a video on the characters/themes and story of Lisa the Pointless in which you said it wasn't a finished game and wouldn't cover it.

Apparently Sticky, Cheeks and Rick were going to be party members, but I suppose that not everything goes to plan. Just like how Cheeks was killed at the beginning by unknown forces, Rick from either being burnt to death alongside Sticky, or being spared just to die soon after, and Sticky being either brutally burnt to death next to Rick, or from being spared so that he could try to stop the one he thought was his best friend near the end of it all. Just because you are the protagonist doesn't mean you're necessarily the "good" guy. At least, not without friends to help you along the way. Brad forgot about this.

what do you think what was the white flash? that's still an unanswered mystery of the game; here's my theory: -We know is not nuclear or else the men would also have been affected and there's no such a thing as a "gender only bomb" -Is not a disease because we never see any mass graves or corpes of the women. (bodies just not dissapear) -Buzzo kinda implies that there's still women out there -Yado was the creator of joy that's clear but, what is not so clear, if he is the one caused the white flash. If he did, then it doesn't make much sense because if you had a weapon like that, that could break reality in such a way, then why not have a joy mutant world inmediately come to existence?, instead of having to do all this convulated stuff about women,buddy,etc. -So we kinda know that yado doesn't have control of whatever caused the white flash --Yado and buzzo knew it was coming -maybe is a macabre simulation, that only plays in olathe? What do you make of it?

[@ethanrajczak3041]

Los copihues given how some people like Brad can have supernatural powers, I’m sure there is far more powerful people and things out there. I personally always liked the idea of the flash being some outside force of nature that so happened to come along. Sheer unluckiness is always a great way to start suffering.

[@SquatchGamingChannel]

I personally don't think the White Flash can be explained. You've already outlined the reasons why it couldn't happen, but additionally, since it wasn't the focus of the story, there's not really enough information out there to really make a solid case for it. I also think that it doesn't necessarily *need* to be explained to enjoy the story. It's just meant as a backdrop for the world and the game wants you to focus on the people that have to live in this wasteland which is why it tells the story is does. With all that said, my next video will be a speculation on what could have caused the White Flash. It'll be a lot different since it's pretty much all theorizing and whatnot, but hopefully it'll be enjoyable nonetheless! Thanks for watching, man! :)
