Pat the NES Punk Commits Charity Fraud on Christmas

[@PatTheNESpunk]

I hope you enjoyed this late holiday special! Note: This is a parody of a serious situation, and I thought I could try to find some humor in this mess. Reminder -- Ultimate Nintendo: Guide to the N64 Library is now available to preorder at UltimateNintendo.com

[@jonbourgoin182]

Did you lose respect for Jirard after this situation came to light? You guys seemed to be friends from all the convention footage Id seen over the years on the Game Chasers.

[@ParanoidThalyyMVS]

​@@jonbourgoin182 He released a statement about it on community tab.

[@Erichwanh]

@@jonbourgoin182 Google Pat's written response to the situation with Jirard. There's no good tl;dr for it.

[@jonbourgoin182]

@@ParanoidThalyyMVS thanks for the tip off, I had somehow completely missed it at the time he'd posted it.

[@mattlock1849]

The fact that Frank probably has no idea what this is referencing makes this 1000x funnier

[@meeeoooow]

Lmao 🤣 baked Frank and it's about food which makes it even funnier. Cuz you know... Jirlard

[@bobafett4265]

Yeah gives off the vibe of someone who's obviously reading and saying what's being presented on a teleprompter. XD

[@FreddyKruegerRealEstate]

Frank's like... _"What the hell is this script Pat? ...You want me to read WHAT!? ...This is just Nonsense."_

[@dangrise6182]

I agree along with Pat's self awareness when he admits to releasing holiday videos late.

[@PBEcotaku]

OMG I missed that. LMAO.

[@KaryudoDS]

I just got a glimpse of the alternate universe where Frank is a youtuber and... I want more

[@stellarobado4269]

Make it our reality!

[@Jacksmusicshack]

Yesss

[@christmasham4312]

Ya frank is hilarious I like frank

[@ItsAllDougAndGames]

Thanks for the absolutely fantastic parody. You are more than welcome to use this two dollars in any way you wish, and I'm looking forward to receiving the rate card for sponsoring this year's Frank Pastry Fund Charity Duckpin Bowling Tournament.

[@patricksmith7968]

You are actually one of the few content creators with an actual spine. ... AND hilarious xD

[@subtledemisefox]

Yeah. He's never been afraid to let his opinion be known.

[@fabriciobl4st]

Pat uploading this video on the same day that The Completionist nonchalantly tries to sweep everything that happened in the last 2 months under the rug is just golden. The only downside is that it's almost 2AM where I live and I'm now craving some italian pastries. Thanks regardless, Patrick.

[@FulkNerraIII]

Yes but it's Mario RPG! Plus he's a nice guy, I mean everyone says so. It was just like drama anyways created by two drama channels. So just forget all that nonsense and watch me talk about Mario RPG for 20 min. I mean its Mario come on now.

[@Fryguy64]

The parody is very thorough and very funny... but Frank's reading of "less than three" absolutely floored me!

[@TheJadeFist]

[@ehyehasherehyeh3304]

1 - Had no idea what Pat was talking about and checked comments 2 - Start to search "Jirard" 3 - Saw a vídeo from a guy with the same profile pic of a German/Austrian that I saw in Pat's vídeo and then I was intriged 4 - Watch 10 Karl's vídeos nonstop 5 - I'm Karl's fan now Thanks, Pat

[@macfine]

"i'm upset the conversations haven't gone the way i wanted" is a very good line

[@Privatex112]

"Until I stop ignoring the evidence" and "less than 3" I was DYING over here laughing so hard.

[@MerelyAFan]

Pat's clear mistake was not insinuating that Frank was a jealous hater or at the very least calling him a literal "Culinary Racist". Either one would have put him in the clear.

[@bejammin2000]

I don' know, that flannel seems to accentuate him in such away, like he's trying to fetishize his age.

[@MasterSystemMarceau]

This video is about Jirard The Completionist, not the Amico

HOLY CAP, DUDE! That was a PERFECT abridged parody take on the whole charity situation and loved how EVERYONE got roasted in their own way! I loved this video, and I hope next year Frank gets his Italian pastries for Christmas!

[@Embraceware]

Holy cannoli! Congrats on another great holiday special. This is the best Frank performance yet. Excellent writing, editing and attention to detail. I.... am out.

[@gorgar6657]

the only thing missing was the angry eyes on the apology lol

[@tsuikagura]

My brain tried to read 'Frank performance' too fast and it just turned into 'Prank'

[@bleedorange1998]

The fact that this video comes out the same day that Jirard tries to come back to KZbin is just (chef's kiss).

[@AdamSMessinger]

Pat parodying the phone call had me dying.

[@NerdyShawn]

7:02 "Protect Frank less than three" 🤣 Here is my donation towards a certain Pastryland shirt.

[@Totavier]

I'm kind glad that the old art of parodies and spoofs of serious situations are still alive and well. Nice video by the way!, got some good laughs with it!.

[@mechabubba]

i cant believe pat committed pastry fraud *and* frank is taking sponsors now.

[@bitbear.90]

HUGE props to Pat for making this video, seriously man, respect :)

[@RedshirtTheory]

Satire… a beautiful way to show how ridiculous Jirard’s actions were

[@Andrew-zv4fm]

I guess Pat and The Completionist are no longer friends anymore.

[@thecodemachine]

Dude he kinda defended him.

[@daddyhobo2]

@@thecodemachine no, no he didnt. did you even read pats response? i encourage you to do so he has nothing good to say about this whole situation.

[@alexmammoth2916]

"My mother was an Italian pastry, and I would not want to dishonor her delicious memory."

[@LiquidButterAlternative]

Pat's impression of how the discord call sounded is amazingly spot on. Its hilarious.

[@cartmann94]

The way this video was uploaded the same day someone else uploaded like nothing had happened. Perfect timing.

[@blueeyeadonishawke2020]

This was not the video I was expecting you to put out, but I'm glad you did. Hysterical from start to finish. When you said you bought Frank a pastry in 2014, I lost it. This was probably your best video in terms of scripts, creativity, and use of Frank. Happy New Year, from a fellow San Diegan.

[@BigBrosFilms]

This is hilarious because Jirard just returned to KZbin and is totally acting like nothing ever happened. Thank you Pat for actually having some integrity and decency to call a scam artist out on his bullshit! You are a real one for real!

[@jagtaggart936]

I'm concerned at how many people don't understand that Pat the NES Punk is a character, and this is meant to be a satire.

[@LedHead1991]

I legit can't believe you made this video. I legit love you for it. It will help when my friends ask about the Jirard fraud issue, I'll just send this as an explication.

[@KaoruMzk]

The Muta impression was perfect, Frank deserves an Oscar for that performance.

[@rockmanfan5104]

He does a good mustafar

[@RetroHabit82]

I was patiently waiting for the laugh

[@HikikomoriMedia]

Pat is a nice guy and I won't watch Frank's slanderous videos he produces. This is my last statement on this matter I know nothing about.

[@slib4646]

You could tell Pat was pissed with his tweet, but you can *feel* he's pissed with this video.

[@WolfmanDan08]

15:38 Had me in stitches. Pat's parody content is never the direction I expected the channel to go but so glad it did.

[@gonzalogca4907]

Pat was lucky Frank didn't find out about the missing pastries from the golf tournament.

[@cyanrazorCel]

"They usually originate form self-loathing individuals looking to overcompensate form the failures of their disappointing lives!" Smash JT...

[@nio107]

Excellent parody, I said it before and will say it again now, from all those old Nintendo KZbinrs out there you are one if not the most honest one from all. I think thats why you have many fans but also many haters, isnt easy to be the one to say the things people dont want to listen. Keep the good work.

[@Bryan-xf8rb]

Damn Pat you nailed every aspect of this controversy and turned it into the perfect parody.

[@ImportAustralia]

Pat, this was the worst Christmas of my entire life and I want you to know this actually put me in the spirit somewhat. Thank you.

[@SkullTaker]

You could feel part of Frank’s soul leave his body when he promoted that battle tank game😂

[@wombatkins]

War machines. Battle tanks game.

Frank is such a treasure, happy new year for every one.

[@wtfsupness]

pat may not see my comment but on the off chance he does i just want to say thank you for this bit and for including frank so heavily. it really helps me put some mental distance between myself and that feeling of being let down/betrayed. i didn't know i needed this medicine. thanks man.

[@deralfenderson]

I’m three minutes in and I’M DEAD. Frank barreling into that War Machines ad KILLED ME.

[@deralfenderson]

Excellent video, Pat. A real treat. Happy holidays, and thanks for keeping with the Christmas tradition of the yearly NES Punk Christmas video coming at least a week or two late. It’s a lovely surprise in January!! Cheers.

Ich mag den satirisch Schlag der letzten Videos sehr. Im Gegensatz zu anderen KZbinrn, deren Content mit der Zeit immer mehr in der Qualität abfällt schafft es Pat mit originellen Ideen und Ansätzen seinen hohen Stand immer zu halten.

The completionist literally uploaded his video about an hour before this video went live and this video was on my feed for hours before his.... regardless it's an amazing video and parody like the intelevision video and like always.

I love that you pulled Karl's actual recording into the video and dubbed over it, seamless. But seriously, withholding pastry funds for a pastry charity just because is a serious offence. The pastry police are on their way.
