7 Bosses with Embarrassing Weak Spots

[@rosiefletcher]

I note that Andy won’t say gonads but Ellen cheerfully says bollocks.

[@giarnovanzeijl399]

She is the evil one.

[@MikeHughey728]

KZbin is less strict about that kind of thing if you wait until deeper into a video's runtime.

[@akamikeym]

Just in case you're not British I'll point out that "bollocks" in British vernacular really isn't a very bad word at all. Combined with "the dogs" even meaning something excellent.

[@MikeHughey728]

@@akamikeym It's probably also worth mentioning that Google is a US-based company and in the US, "bollocks" isn't a commonly-used word at all, in any context or phrasing. So whatever metric KZbin uses to punish an uploader for swearing in a video might not even register that as a vulgar/inappropriate term any more than it would other English words that haven't crossed the pond like "chuffed" or "lorry." It could just go, "well, I don't recognize that word, but it's not on the bad list so I guess it's just nonsense. I'll let it through!"

[@dondavis1180]

she also says "nads" which is literally short for gonads.

[@thurkelofwarwick926]

"Shoot it in the big ball bag", ah, the weak spot for 50% of all mammals!

[@Sableagle]

I'm pretty sure a successful snap-kick to the ovary would be quite effective against the other 50%. I'm less inclined to test that hypothesis against Lady Domme Trescu myself, though.

[@zacharysmith4856]

I really appreciate Ellen's dedication to that accent for the entire outro.

[@gwishart]

Plot twist: that's actually Ellen's real accent; and the whole "Londoner" thing has been a decades' long prank. Now *that's* dedication.

[@jose.damiani]

The funniest part is that she actually said "accent" in French /aksɑ̃/, which is likely to happen to a French speaker trying to speak English

[@woodneel]

I'm assuming that accent is a crime against French humanity, but my God I want to do it now!

[@madness1931]

I remember back at school, I put on a similar French accent, in French class. Turns out I don't think the teacher EVER heard a French person speak. She loved it, and I got top marks… That was for my GCSEs, by the way… I wish I was joking.

[@Rusty84CV]

"Wolnir, have you ever heard of anklets?" Imagine the boss fight where there are a pair of flailing legs poking out of the Abyss.

[@ryanchurchill5081]

I was thinking his crown could been used for a weak spot honestly.

[@Terastas]

Think about how many bosses in the game, and other From Software games, are so huge that you basically spend the whole time just slashing at their ankles. Wolnir basically did what every boss in Dark Souls EXCEPT Wolnir should have done.

[@nayrasylasister9234]

@14:15 as a french, I can assure you Ellen, your french accent is absolutely not outrageous and is in fact, quite faithful to what you can expect from a frenchman speaking english

If you think that's bad, Freeman must have been extremely Testy when he had to Cull it.

It looks like he was having a ball

[@julianparsons3027]

No one is irreplaceable. Everyone can be fired. Even the boss got sacked.

[@SolaScientia]

Aw, but Wolnir does make me a bit sad. He made the bracelets to keep himself from falling into the Abyss, and that's why he's frantically trying to cling on to the ledge as he's dragged into the Abyss when you break his bracelets. Yeah, that French accent by that robot was something else.

[@crezychameau]

Ellen probably did the best french accent i've ever heard from someone not french themselves. That was seriously insanely good, almost every movie/series that include a French character voice it far, FAR, behind this in terms of performance

[@Alsebra]

I like Brian Zane's (Wrestling With Wregret) French accent, but it's meant to be terrible.

[@Terastas]

Second only to John Cleese.

[@cleffa173]

No Cragalanche from Kid Icarus Uprising? His weak spot is LITERALLY on his butt. There’s even an in-game achievement for beating him without hitting it!

[@TheRealMEEDABEE]

Fun story I have from when I played Bulletstorm: So in the game, there's a lot of weapons, as you'd expect, and one of them is a drill that can shoot its drill bit like a harpoon gun and unleash a lot of damage. One mission, I was having a lot of difficulty with a mini-boss until I managed to get him down and knock the back plate off - in retribution, I figured I'd use the drill. It took me maybe 30 seconds until I realized the implications of shooting someone with a weapon literally called "the Penetrator" back there

[@StarryKnightPinkle]

I like how in the Space Titanic game that the voice would change depending on where you were standing and at what direction you were facing! That’s really impressive for the time.

[@greenhydra10]

In Wolnir's defense, it's not so much that the bracelets are what keeps him alive, so much as it is that he found them, and now they're the only thing keeping him from being sucked into the Abyss.

[@robertbeisert3315]

They're basically his bouys. They have to be above water because that's how they work.

When I saw Conker's Bad Fur Day, I had thought of the Neanderthal King. Because in order to beat him, you must have your allied dinosaur bit his butt to cheat chunks out of it until his loincloth can no longer be held up to cover his.... "less than average sized equipment".

[@Kpimpmaster]

I feel like they could have added him on the list kept making jokes hitting the boss in the nut shot

[@nevvie9269]

Conker's Bad Fur Day had a lot of Low brown humor in it, but yeah it was funny. Also, the Imps in the Boiler, after the fight, they have additional dialogue, about how to get out of the corpse of the defeated Boss, and it is revealed by them, that they must "Use the back door."

[@MrYin90210]

Of course I'm French, you do you think I have this ridiculous accent?!? That's my Monty Python reference quota filled for today.

[@MySerpentine]

*outrageous

[@user399878993]

I’ll give you one more Monty Python reference - while the game Starship Titanic was written by Douglas Adams, the novelization of the game was done by Terry Jones, who also voiced the parrot in the video game. John Cleese also appears in the game as the voice of the bomb.

In Donkey Kong 64, during the final boss fight against King K. Rool, one phase of the fight involves Tiny Kong shrinking down, going inside a hole in K. Rool's shoe, dodging his wiggling toes, and then attacking those toes with feathers. This eventually ends up causing him to faint, setting up the final phase of the fight. For bonus points, the reason that you're given an opening to do this? K. Rool hurts his butt by ground-pounding too many times and starts flailing around in pain. That's right, he bruises his own butt, and you have nothing to do with it. And all of this happens *three times* over the course of this phase of the fight, just for extra humiliation.

[@ramonarjona4928]

Brings to mind the immortal quote, "Wolfman's got nards!"

[@chrisworsley8836]

+5 Bonus points for Andy's "Just shoot 'em in the Big Ball Bag, Okay?!" moment. And +50 bonus points for Ellen's "French" accent. Could we be seeing a sneak peak at her next DnD character, I wonder? (At thee end, she sounded just like the Ms. Nanny bot's in a Fallout game)

[@Mika-Fresh]

Conker’s Bad Fur Day was the best gift Rare ever gave us. The Great Mighty Poo’s origin story is proof enough 😂

[@CrazeeAdam]

Eh.. If you do play it though in retrospect, it's one of their clunker games. Funny, sure, but clunky. Coukd much more easily argue Donkey Kong Country, Banjo Kazooie (who also had tongue and cheek humor at times) etc.

Hmm, brings into mind Sailor Moon when compared to successors like Revolutionary Girl Utena, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Ojamajo Doremi. Still good, sure, but one can easily see the codifier's flaws when compared to what came afterwards. Still hoping a lot of Rare stuff gets multiplatform rereleases though. Steam/GOG really need GoldenEye 64 and Perfect Dark in their libraries.
