my friend who has never played splatoon tries to name weapons

when are they dropping flamethrower number 6
my twitter: @starrysash
my friend: ‪@hurblub‬

[@cy_torrent]

Ok but pencil is what literally everyone in comp calls it so I'll give them that lmao

[@Pearl_Blossom]

Also Tenta Brella gets abbreviated as "Tent" so that's not entirely wrong either

[@13_cmi]

@@Pearl_Blossom Yes. "Tent". I call it that. I absolutely do not call the tenta sorella brella the "tenta sorella brella". Indeed.

[@Pearl_Blossom]

@@13_cmi in callouts with a team in a competitive environment you wouldn't, it's too long and you're not gonna see both variations on the same team. Most weapons get their names shortened in comp, and Tenta Brella and its variations are called "Tent"

[@EYoshiGamr]

@@13_cmi I can tell that is complete sarcasm, but comp players do actually call it "tent" for short, as saying "Tenta Sorella Brella is flanking right" would take way too long

[@FinnishArsonist]

@@EYoshiGamr Also - as someone who mains tent and plays comp, even outside of callouts a lot of people just call it VTent for the vanilla kit and STent for the sorella kit. easier to type. Sometimes people will say just say tent too, 95% of the time they are referring to STent (even though VTent isn't bad by any means, STent is notably better). and besides, tent is so much more about the weapon than the kit.

[@professorowblock7812]

Preschool Child Killer 3000 is kinda accurate tho ngl

[@shark_girl]

It is 😭 that should be the official name at this point

[@antusFireNova]

It is a weapon that's only good at lower ranks after all, that name fits so well

[@PokeNerdNoah]

It is but the same time it’s also like the preschool child’s favorite

[@mangoberri3000]

as funny as it is i think it's a testament to how strong the splatoon weapon design is! they were close a lot of the time - and not by mistake. i love the whimsy of splatoon's weapons

[@seventea-limes2587]

15:26 thats a squiffer!! not a squeezer

[@StarrySasha]

it's never been more over for me

OMG YESSSSSS

[@antusFireNova]

Or subs and specials

[@hippoqueen6840]

it was really funny seeing them call hydta (the fire hydrant) a flamethrower, you cant get more opposite than that

[@Scr4mbledM3ggs]

That was I was thinking lol

[@PlayTimeIncorporated]

I’ve never realized how many of these weapons are combined with just modern day trash you’d find on the ground, a water tank, bottle caps, literal water guns, and sometimes straight up metal

[@ZizZap4]

Specifically it's almost always means of moving liquid (of some form) around, with the nintendo zappers being the main exclusion. Oftentimes it just comes in the form of "hmm what kind of bottle do we want to use" but you get some more creative stuff like the ELiter or the Ballpoint on occasion. Some that I think are easy to miss is how the Hydra is built with fire hydrants in mind and how the Splattershot Pro is actually a caulk gun.

[@PlayTimeIncorporated]

yeah i actually main toothbrush bow and arrow without the arrow. very fun weapon to use and it counters stuff like the petrol pump flamethrower really well yk

[@alrawafidengineering3864]

Me tooooo :3

[@SirBagelshire]

As a snail gun main, I appreciate the recognition.

[@genericname3516]

Believe it or not, the Tetras are actually basketball shoes.

[@HappyLilKirbs]

I mean they're made by ttek so it's not too surprising

[@Beckett.]

some of the design is based off of basketball shoes but theyre not actual shoes.

[@StarrySasha]

I finally know...

[@Beckett.]

him calling snipewriter "pencil" and tenta brella "tent" are half right because thats what competitive players call those weapons

[@Sleppa_95]

Ah yes my favourite weapon *T O O T H B R U S H B O W A N D A R R O W W I TH O U T T H E A R R OW*

[@UmbraVivens94]

aw i thought you would reveal the real name after each attempt, i find that fun but at the same time it lets the other person start building a pattern in their mind lol also, the Splattershot Pro is called "Prime Shooter" in Japanese, so Optimus Prime Watergun opened my eyes a bit about the japanese naming especially considering the visual design. this could arguably be added to the weapon's name origin on inkipedia

[@blep7628]

Even though he didn't get a single name right I will say he was pretty close when it came to what the weapons resembled based on real life items!

[@EverythingInMyBrain]

In fairness, the actual names for most of the weapons sound like they were named by the localizer’s zany grandparents

[@echothefreak9396]

best description by far

[@eeveemaster243]

Bro called the *Jet*squelcher a power*wash*er and the *Sloshing* Machine a *jet* engine x3

[@princessriahyokai]

"Girly pop machine gun." I AM SCREAMING 💀💀💀💀

[@PokeNerdNoah]

It’s even more funny considering that 52 deco has glitter on it💀

[@thirdwheel9938]

Even better considering it's called a "" gal"" lol

[@Nachiebree]

Caulk Bow And Arrow Shooter Bang Arrow is the name on the Amazon listing for it

[@Helio343]

Not my main being called “petrel pump #2”😭 Also pencil and clash were spot on

[@OliyTC]

15:45 Bamzuka is the Spanish name for the weapon so they're even closer than they thought :P

[@13_cmi]

BAMZUKA? Wowow. . Not in european spanishsh though. And it's bimbamboom in italian and frenxcjjh apparently.

[@13_cmi]

Oh of course it's you that knows the spanish name for bamboozler

[@ramonguslav]

It's bambufusil

[@Huskie297]

The funniest thing for me so far in some of their guesses is when they guessed "Mop Bucket," that's not super far off because the Japanese name is "Mopurin" said quickly like "Mop-rin" because.... yeah. It's a mop bucket.

[@UmbraVivens94]

mop-rin is on point, but to elaborate on this, it comes from Mop Wringer

[@13_cmi]

They call inkstrikes tornado and killer wail speaker or something similar. It's pretty awesome how convenient and straight to the point their naming scheme is. Even though they're all loan words they still do it better.

[@meganekk0]

i think this is just proof of how well-designed the weapons are if someone is able to tell what they’re based on at a glance

[@martimsilva1755]

22:16 I know right?! Every time I look at Undercover brella I get reminded of the umbrellas they were using in Kingsman. It's the exact same thing, an umbrella that serves as a shield and simultaneously shoots while open.

[@qwargly]

I think it was very intentional, it is literally just the kingsman umbrella

[@Celeste-ty5pb]

its even called the undercover! like its literally secret agent bullshit

[@Aquatix2781]

As a Glue main, that was the closest and accurate guess behind Pencil. It truly made me delighted on they're response :)

[@emile_jeanne]

Really good video and great visuals. Kinda wish you told them the actual names after the fact to get their reaction

[@ReitheOffbeatOtaku]

My biggest takeaway from this video is that we need an actual flamethrower-style weapon in Splatoon 4 to justify the number of things that can be mistaken for flamethrowers

[@HappyLilKirbs]

as someone who mains Bucket Of Sand, Bucket Of Sand Nouveau, Neo Jet Engine, Grenade-Arometer, Macapaca's Glock Deco, Left-Handed Roller Express, Four-Colours Ballpoint Pen, Flamethrower #6, Flamethrower #6 Nouveau, Sorella Umbrella and Bow-tle Cap I approve of this video

[@toastghost4320]

as someone who mains Caulk Bow And Arrow Caulk Gun Shooter Bang arrow, Inkline Caulk Bow And Arrow Caulk Gun Shooter Bang arrow, and Bow-tle Cap I also approve of this video

[@redpepsi1637]

as a flamethrower #4 main, i appreciate it and want it to be a real thing now also now we kinda need a video of your friend reacting to the real names! :)

[@Stormysnow7]

They bought British English premium

[@noremfor]

So apparently my favorite weapons in the game have been renamed to Jet Engine, Glue Guns, Kingsman Umbrella, and Caulk Bow and Arrow Caulk Gun Shooter Bang Arrow? Damn thats wild. Hes actually closer than he thinks with the Glooga Dualies, Glooga is the words "Glue Gun" mixed together after all.

[@realrider24]

9:44 I mean, he's not wrong

[@dbrighthd]

now post a 10 second video of them guessing the name of the decavitator

[@TheBoodercg]

I COULDNT WAIT UNTIL THE BLASTERS CAME IF HE CALLED THE 52 a flamethrower.

[@realblueman_II]

Bro forgot the Wellstring and the Decavitator

[@StarrySasha]

lmao, I recorded this before the new season was announced. I do want to do a follow up with those, grizzco weapons, and maybe subs and specials

[@caresaboutnothing]

Why does your friend sound like the dude from the magnus archives.

cus he is

Oh i actually never play splatoon before if i had to geuss by the thumbnail i will call it "the drunken bareller"

as a left-handed roller mainer, okay thank you??? >:/ also you forgot the wellstring V and the decavitator! maybe for part 2???❤✨

[@FishyBusiness-ms5tv]

Top Tier Video 👍

[@CMYKITSUNE]

honestly he didn't get the weapon names right but actually got the objects they were based on. to be fair the weapons are probably named by a 5 year old so i give it that also fun fact: tetras ARE shoes and they're the only original weapons from tentatek...which im convinced is nike splatoon edition

[@jovecutur5560]

"Alcoholic's last resort" Yeah i can't look at the original name well anymore.Not like i did,but still.

[@fishyninjja9103]

FINALLY! WE FOUND THE PERSON WHO NAMES BOTH THE MOBILE GAMES AND THE ITEMS AT TEMU!

[@Sillycats045]

As someone who plays with the "caulk bow and arrow caulk gun shooter bang arrow" i want them to change the name of that weapon to be that

[@EYoshiGamr]

No Wellstring or Decavitator? Horrible video Honestly though, that was amazing and hilarious

[@GabrielRolland-l4n]

They're so sure about what they named the weapons despite that none of them were correct.

[@ChatarraWorkshop]

Bamboozler is called bamzuka in latin american spanish.

[@leolas9876]

hydra being called flamethrower when it's supposed to be designed against firefighting is hilarious😂

[@michaelleebolden8980]

Make a mod out of what he calls the weapons... the names to what he calls em

[@alrawafidengineering3864]

So now im a toothbrush bow and arrow without the arrow main...

[@h0undiie]

i main girlypop machine gun, the 90° shooter, and the syndrome brush 😍 what about u guys

[@harroo6099]

i main snail gun, fairy liquid shooter gun and kingsman umbrella

[@wellstring]

Your friend is a keeper LMAOO

[@mahimeghan]

“Hold on the funny is coming” i need to steal that phrase

[@Ojtheghosttrainer]

I used to main Shoes, but then moved to the A Gun for a while, and now I'm using the Enperry Petrol Pump #2.

[@SQUID_KID102]

he called my main a calamari maker I love that

[@kristiliqua]

i love that the two petrol pumps is e-liter and fucking Splat Dualies 😭😭

[@I_like_ravioli]

Tbh it really is just a small bathtub 💀

[@catsinwonderland7473]

4:56 Accurate, when the enemy team has that gun it does make you feel like you're being blasted by a flamethrower

[@cheemsdrip7478]

Now I can’t unsee nautilus’s face

[@cthtyler5995]

Thats alot of water guns

[@thirdwheel9938]

This was priceless only thing I'd complain about is the lack of decavivator, I was waiting to see what they'd name that one 😅

[@the1stdirectioner171]

In before they make an actual ink thrower (Flamethrower) in Splatoon 4

[@echothefreak9396]

Toothbrush Bow And Arrow Without The Arrow used to be my favorite because of its set, then i switched to Shoes because of its dodge rolls, THEN i moved to Bucket of Sand simply because it is a bucket of sand.

[@thegoon3840]

I think I’m having an aneurysm /lh

[@BananaSPL_]

They got a lot of the design references for the weapons right lol

[@thirdwheel9938]

Bruh not the Luna blaster disrespect 😂 yall just started laughing at it 🗿

[@lakitukirbo]

very funny video but i think you should do this wig another friend and tell them the actual name of the weapon before moving on

[@echothefreak9396]

8:38 isn’t that a gas container? like the kinds of things they set alight to keep food hot during parties so “flamethrower 2” is reasonable

[@Pikatwig16]

So, the 'flamethrower' is actually based on a grenade launcher of all things. I'm not kidding. The inspiration was a grenade launcher called the Caliber, shorthanded to the "Cal".

[@igordemeloxavier2313]

omg i love this so much, the true sequel to mom trying to name smash bros character's names

[@pixxyofice]

not the three prong paint roller...

[@ZizZap4]

Maybe the Tetra Dualies are meant to look like shoes bc they let you roll more? So like from a lore standpoint, it'd be like you're rolling around on the guns themselves?

[@jorgemtzb9359]

And the tetras they're sport shoes, they're even made by tentakek.

[@harroo6099]

the fact that he guessed umbrella and tent separately but still couldnt get the name

[@melvinlovesyou_]

i absolutely adore these types of videos. so glad i main paint roller, flamethrower #6, and milkgun ☺️

[@That_onebro]

FLAMETHROWER

[@Maximumax977]

I just gotta point out that you called the squiffer the squeezer

[@sitruunamehu]

Chainsaw is accurate for stamper. People call it either sword or chainsaw

Tetra Dualies are based off of shoes.

[@colby_247]

You should tell your friend the original name after he guess it.
