The FUCT of Pepsiman!? As if that wasn't ridiculous enough this Pepsi man has cola smelling action!

[@lolhooplacatz]

The reason Pepsiman has the crutch is because one of the main selling points of Pepsiman is slapstick comedy.

[@wagdawgwag872]

Pepsiman's big lips are for when he does the "SHWAAA" action.

[@johnalogue9832]

At least it's for a perfectly logical reason, then.

[@theshockerpit7274]

Wag Dawgwag I wonder if Pepsi man is made out of aluminum and is filled with Pepsi does that mean if he drinks Pepsi seconds are self cannibalism and you know Pepsi man is kind of a sad story because he can make Pepsi for everyone else but you can’t make Pepsi from self I want is everything do you think you like Subsys some Pepsi like it’s like the thing that keeps him alive I wonder if Pepsi or any other soda brands just have like a cryo-genic freezers a bunch of other characters just like Pepsi man but different brandsLike imagine a Pepsi had other flavors of Pepsi man was even had mountain dew man they should totally do that they should totally do a Mountain Dew man a Pepsi man team up

[@ALIEN-DUDE]

@@theshockerpit7274 what the FUCT are you on about?

[@filletofish2200]

Pepsi Poggers

[@pprandomnpz]

Maybe the age recomendation "7 or up" was a subtle promo for 7up?

[@lotus-prince]

People have already posted here about the Pepsiman PS1 game, but his first video game appearance was as a secret character in the Japanese version of Fighting Vipers for the Sega Saturn!

[@theblazingflareon830]

The japanese pepsiman comercials might explain why he comes with the crutch, since he appears to get injured a lot in those. Still, i thought the PS1 game was the only pepsiman related thing out there xD

[@AkumetsuLord]

He may have great athletic abilities, but he was kinda a FUCT up superhero but damn it, he did his job well *drinks a can of Coke* ...OH GOD PESPI PRIME I'M SORRY!

[@anthonybernero9720]

How is that possible?

[@gracekim25]

Me too. I thought the game was all there was

[@CazTheGamerGuy]

What the FUCT is up with Pepsiman being half Pepsi, half Silver Surfer? This figure is a wee bit weird.

[@NodDisciple1]

Because the 90's cans were part silver?

[@BBBHuey]

I'm going off on a limb here, but I think the reason for the word "fuct" is probably due to someone looking up the Scandinavian dictionary and found the word "fukt". "Fukt" (or "fuktig") is translated as "moist" (or "moisture"). When you pour cold liquid like Pepsi in a glass during warm climate, moisture builds up all over the glass.

[@PrincessInuyasha890]

[@gracekim25]

Interesting

[@CarozQH]

This Pepsi Man action figure is REALLY fuct up.

[@realitysfrank1695]

...and then it turned out Pepsiman was just Deadpool selling out to pay the rent and shooting him in the head did nothing whatsoever

[@abbywheeler9025]

I would pay to see that.

[@murdermusprime7065]

when Silver Surfer sales out.

[@tbonevideos23]

Well I mean he's technically already a sale out

[@murdermusprime7065]

Baaduummmtisss!😂

[@reptile1677]

Looks more like a rastion warrior robot

[@jacobg6628]

Those poses with Pepsi Prime at the end were legitimately awesome. I like this Pepsiman figure.

[@bigcat5348]

Phelous, you need to play the Pepsiman video game!

[@princesstamika]

PEPSIMAN~! best beverage video game ever.

[@soap93160]

I agree :) I had alot of memories with that game growing up, it was probably my most favourite ps1 game growing up and i still like visiting it every once in a while now and then :)

[@JomasterTheSecond]

But which one, the PS1 game or the arcade game?!

[@princesstamika]

***** i've only seen the ps1 in a let's play. :c

[@kingbaggyslim9227]

Roderic McKay Pepsiman2 is much better

[@sidearmsalpha]

I collected these back in the late 90s. I have most of the figures including the FUCT one and even most of Pepsi Man bottle cap figures, especially the Universal Monsters ones.

[@CodecrafterArtemis]

"Ages 7 & Up" made me chuckle.

[@nerdsman567]

This Pepsiman™ figure is pretty fucting awesome! I really want one now! XD

[@TimedropStudios]

Dude its not "Oh.. my.. god". You missed the comma. its "oh. MYGOD!"

[@blackheartzerotheundergrou3225]

missed opportunity for a Lion and the King joke, HO~!

[@FortoFight]

When will they make a toy based on Beauty's father? It could even have voice recordings of him to play when you move the arm or something. Phelan can supply extra voice clips if necessary.

[@FortoFight]

+Cosbydaf Jones And don't leave food out around it because it will assume that it was expected and eat it.

[@gwendolynstata3775]

And for Chrissakes, don't creak any doors open around it!

[@lilsingingsensation]

BEEEE-EEEEEEE-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@KarIgnishaYumi]

With 3D printing technology getting better or somebody could make one out of sculptclay then make a model kit. I could make the 3D model.

[@smb-c3po]

That'd be hilarious if that were real.

[@MoteofLobross]

Saw this guy at an anime store back in like 1999 and me and my friends would constantly make fun of the "Fuct" thing.

[@Nergalsama01]

PepsiMan looks like he's got an ear for a mouth. >_>

[@philipjohnson3225]

5:03 7UP!? Pepsi Man is a traitor!

[@MrJans3n]

Been wanting to get one of these dudes for the longest time - I think this line had 3 Pepsiman "Ultra Free Pose" figures, and that's what the "cola version" on the back is referring to. Not only is this the "cola" version, but it also has the FUCT.

[@phelous]

Yeah, I know there were different Pepsiman figures, I showed the other ones they had on the back. It just seemed like it meant there were ones for something other than Cola. Maybe now that Crystal Pepsi is returning they can make a Crystal Cola version.

[@MrJans3n]

+Phelan “Phelous” Porteous Oh, I get what you mean. I'd buy the shit outta a Crystal Pepsi version. Maybe some kinda rebirth in the S.H. Figuarts line.

[@smb-c3po]

Another great video, Phelan, you sexy beefy hunk. Are you part Aboriginal or a European in Canada? Review all bootlegs Ashens has already reviewed! I found you on Newgrounds recently, Phelan-poo.

[@smb-c3po]

The funny thing is I was drinking from a Pepsi cup watching this. I was drinking the last of the Juicy Juice orange juice in the house. Not sure why I was craving juice, but I totally did strangely enough. Phelan, you need to do an LP of the Pepsiman videogame on PS1.

[@natepankratz1237]

+Phelan “Phelous” Porteous 🐉🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀 it the dragon balls but u should do dragon ball bootlegs not DRAGON BALL Z but DRAGON BALL

[@PaceBreaker]

Awesome as FUCT! What makes this even better is the wide assortment of poses you put him in.

[@maxordman4100]

Great job on this video! Pepsiman is fantastic and it was delightful seeing him with his brother Pepsi Prime! That’s so cool how you wrote the script for that bonus segment and then acted it out so well! Good job incorporating lots of different accessories too!

[@thenumberquelve158]

I love this video :D That ending bit with PepsiMan and Pepsi Prime.... You seriously need to start writing screenplays for cartoons or something!

[@MicrowavedAlastair5390]

The auto-translation for the Russian subtitles is AMAZING. For instance: FUCT is almost consistently rendered as PDC or PZDA, presumably because the Russian translator wrote it like the acronym and the translation bot didn't pick up on this. Occasionally, it will be rendered as something else, like PDA, which just reminds me of middle school. "Failed Under Continuous Testing" translates through to "Indicators of Values Reached Emergency". -Complete with that period. "Blue Pepsi Can" is simply "Blue Jar" PepsiMan is referred to with a variety of names, including, but not limited to, Pepsiman, Pepsyman, and Pepsimen. "This is not FACT!!" is rendered as: "This is not a TRAIN!" "Pepsyman, it's me, your sane metal Pepsi brother: Pepsi Prime! In the name of Pepsi Twist, it's time for you to get out of hibernation!" *Note, I am not directly blaming anyone for the translation weirdness. Many factors, such as certain words just not existing in other languages, idioms being different, but transliterated by the machine, and even the translator mishearing things can all play into this type of thing. I'm just a lingual enthusiast and I enjoy weird stuff like this.

[@azbars]

It was me who translated this video in Russian. There are my explanations. The main challenge for translation was the word FUCT since during the course of video Phelous used ths word to show how great some aspects of figure are, how bad some aspects are, also the word was used as an acronym and as a tagline about "not a fact". Traditionally F-word is translated into Russian using a basis word -KHUY- since it can mean both something great (oKHUYenny) and something bad (KHUYevy). But this word is terrible for making acronyms in Russian. Thus I have chosen word basis -PZD- which by itself in Russian means C-word but can also form words that mean something good (PiZDaty), something bad (PiZDets), much better for acronym with general meaning of failure and also a stem for a non-swearing word PoeZD (Train). I admit that there are could be better options for translation but I've tried to fit into it as many nuances as possible.

[@Tplwtch]

What the FUCT indeed, Phelous?

[@coyotefever105]

You FUCT up good

[@Fargoth_Ur]

I have a feeling that the "cola version" label might apply to the fact that he has the weird cola-transitioning effect on his paint job. Though personally, I'd only reserve such a label for when his body fully converted into Pepsi. ...Though that would probably just mean you'd just be left with a soggy package full of 20-year-old soda. And then Brad would be forced to chug it down out of obligation.

[@humanconvertile]

When will they make a Mountain Dew Man super hero mascot? Oh, maybe because he'll probably just be playing video games and eating Taco Bell instead of snowboarding... lol.

[@LadyCoyKoi]

This video inspired AVGN to make the Pepsi Man video game review of his own. 10/10 for sure.

[@Rushabh154Shah]

This is the core reason I love this show + bootleg zone, only Phelous can make this bizzar product review hilarious .... Awesome 😀👍

[@fortheloveofking]

OMFG! I need one, and they need to make more! And a Mt Dew Man!

[@imaginaryobserver]

Had only done the cartoon and creepypasta bids so far. Glad I gave your reviews a try! And I just loved the skit at the end.

[@salamisofdragons4597]

Pepsiman was used to market Pepsi is Japan. He was in a lot of commercials and even has a video game made for him.

[@dr.limeade3035]

>

[@NodDisciple1]

Thus the "As Seen on TV!" :-/

[@Davethe3rd]

Yeah, The Completionist reviewed it recently and JewWario (RIP) reviewed it years ago.

[@extrememoxie]

A quick EBay search brought up another variant. So yeah, there's more than just the metallo-cola figure. There's one that's just a plain silver the Pepsi-trademark red striping. Also, the accessories are flat-colored as well.

[@marliem.5575]

I was never so amused from a toy review before.

[@bellspeppers]

Pepsi really should try to market this guy over in the West now, especially since Super Heroes are pretty much in the public eye and Pepsi can really capitalize on the weirdness and heroic FUCT of Pepsiman!

[@rodster6campingprepper]

Who needs Batman or Superman when we have Pepsiman! With his inadequate snowboarding ability and broken leg.

[@Tyrgermanic]

:56 the last thing he looked up on Amazon was a Men's Greatest American Hero costume.awesome.

[@TheWarmotor]

Holy shit the ending tho. I need to get like super rich so I can quit my job and play with Phelous' action figures. He could probably use an intern.

[@natsafan]

That was amazing! I loved the story at the end.

[@GlobalsoftPirka]

I have always, to this day, thought this was photoshopped. I cannot believe this thing actually exists exactly as I've seen it online. If anyone should own the real, legitimate FUCT of Pepsiman, made of smelling material, it would be you, Phelous.

[@Morbos1000]

Maybe they meant "funk" when they wrote fuct? They mention it in relation to his smell. If so, then they don't know how to spell nor that funk isn't a good type of smell.

[@U014B]

He did break his leg, though, so maybe it actually was referencing the Failed Under Continuous Testing.

[@DucksFor4]

I’m desperate for a Pepsi man it fits in scale with some of my action figures I want Pepsi man to give Pepsi to a Dalek

[@AvengerGreen]

Ironically, I'm drinking Coke Zero while watching this.

[@johnlemus7921]

Him getting seriously injured was a running gag in the commercials and video games. My guess is there was suppose to be a Pepsi Twist Woman Figure later on.

[@jonathanwarrdddedcxddeecec4787]

When they said as seen on tv, they were referring to an amazing and strange line if commercials. I think he also had a video game

[@brandongreen4439]

I like how on the box they show a pretty much full-view shot of Pepsiman and you can see how the rest of his body wasn't turning into colored-cola. Maybe while getting super cola smelling powers his metal became transparent and he's just made OF Pepsi on the inside. Certainly explains where he gets all of it.

[@BugsyFoga]

awesome video phelous

[@Safersephiroth777]

This was a fucting good episode Phelan!

[@filletofish2200]

Pepsi Man is screaming his ass off on the box art

[@HaileyBabi]

Omg, I love how it comes with a cast and crutches LOL that is so FUCTING Awesome I want it!

[@Mecha82]

PEPSIMAAAN! Man those Japanese Pepsi commercials that feature this guy are really funny.

[@RF-Ataraxia]

*[Obligatory drinking joke about taking a shot everytime "fuct" is said]*

[@kiwibro6454]

Well if you seen the commercials, he would always get injured when delivering pepsi or doing sports, so thats why he comes with the crutch and cast

[@dreamlandnightmare]

Fuct is actually a clothing brand. I must say, this is probably the creepiest action figure I've ever seen, especially with its "Pepsi" odor.

[@BlackburnBigdragon]

The Pepsiman commercials ran in the US too. I remember them. They were REALLY messed up. I don't recall the commercials being on TV very long. I also remember them giving away figures and such along with the campaign as well as them having Pepsiman collectable bottle caps at one point. I assume if failed because the campaign only lasted a very short time in the US. It may have lasted longer in Japan. I DO remember the commercials in the US with this character running in and making "FIZZ" sounds with his mouth when people would open Pepsi bottles or cans. Every commercial ended with him getting injured.

[@yuzzem64]

Also "OH MY GOD" is a big joke about Americans in Japan (as in it's a stereotype that Americans yell it all the time) probably also why Wario yells it in the Japanese version of Mario party lol

[@Toongamer]

Fun fuct: "Fuct" was originally the name of Priest Fact from the videogame series, Ys.

[@______________________6111]

This was so funny one of your best.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

*SHUWA SHUWA* Dude, I didn't even know Pepsi Smell versions of this *EXISTED*. I'm... Stunned.

[@pensacolian211]

Is it crazy that I kind of want this figure?

[@norbertovalle7928]

Daaaamn Phelous WTF dude lmao, poor Pepsi-Man had to die just because he drank a coke lmfao. Dude, & Prime was being so understanding until he found out what he did! Fucking hilarious man, probably one of my favorite endings to these things to include the bootleg zones

[@TheSonOfTheDragon]

You should see the Pepsi woman, I'm not joking they made one commercial with a female version of the character.

[@SilverSpoonRiche]

Wait.. is that a crutch on the right side of the pack? I guess Pepsi Man had an accident, or maybe he's losing the ability to walk due to untreated advanced diabetes.

[@Aqua-Marine-UK_1991]

Now you have your own chorus of character that say's 'oh my god' lol

[@BugsyFoga]

Watching this on Pepsi man's 20th anniversary

[@henkman00]

PepsiMan: ''PEPSI MAAAN!!'' GI Joe: ''It's Cobra Commander!! take him down! FIRE!!'' PepsiMan: ''p-pepsi?'' Pepsi Commander shall rise again...

[@lolo27234]

the weird thing is this was done by the team that went to become tamashii nations who are now doing a ture to the 80's cartoon tmnt toys

[@WhiteManOnCampus]

I actually remember seeing a Pepsiman commercial when I was younger, and I live in the US. It might have been on one of those "Check out these bizarre ads!" shows from Japan, or could have been the real ad, but I distinctly remember that snowboarding goon. And the creepy sex-doll lip ring thing was to pour Pepsi into, which probably sucked for the actor in the costume.

[@pandacron]

Fuct could actually be a purposeful use of an alternate transliteration of the katakana for "fact". For joke I guess?

[@mutalord]

I hope you do more pepsi related toys, though I doubt any other exist

[@UndeadHavoc1]

Pepsiman can be Deadpool in an alternate costume, when Wade needs to make a li'l extra dosh?

[@dannyfriar5653]

No 7UP joke on the "Ages 7 & up" ? That's fuct!

[@Inspectornills]

If you've ever seen Vangelus' vids, you could put some floor polish or nail polish remover on those ball joints to give them more mass, making them tighter and less likely to fall off.

[@bigdickgandalfnerdcore4823]

there's a regular version where he's all silver with regular accessories and the blue one. that guy on the back is like a power rangers headflipper. he had a ps1 game too

[@RainbowYawn]

Aw man I just got a pepsiman today! I was thinking of doing a video but there’s no topping your one 😂

[@Spawn3X5]

I had no idea there was a toy now i want it Pepsi man! He makes drinnking pepsi look cool

[@redlol123]

There's also normal and "classic" variants of this guy.

[@Waltman13]

What the Fuct were they thinking when they called it "The Fuct Of Pepsiman"

[@ShinKatto]

This is just too good I guess you could say it's cool-Ka cola

[@christopherarcher5271]

Pretty cool looking figure i like it it might don't have pepsi cola smell but okay i like the 1991 mini pepsi can it makes it cooler but its so tiny gotta be careful with it

[@SongbirdAlom]

Oh, my god...

[@Aelita3575]

I think that figure is awesome! Especially for the time period. Japan is famous for their Figma with interchangeable faces, hands and leg joints. I think the translation was messed up though. XD You should review a cool Figma or something though.

[@gregoriocruz4530]

Watch some of his commercials and you will understand why he comes with some of his accessories.

[@slingwebber8213]

The peg broke cause its 20 years old, im contemplating opening mine.

[@TheSkully343]

Pepsiman was my favourite Robot Master from MegaMan Z

[@SuperMutant2099]

I first heard of him cause I think he was in japanese wrestling game I have that he was in. Weird but japan we love you.

[@jacobrorickevilrorick5931]

I was actually drinking Pepsi while watching this video!

[@lssjgaming1599]

I need this Pepsiman toy. I'm a big fan of that meme. We're can I get this or am I just fuct in finding this. Also where can I get the blue one. That one is most iconic from the video game.
