Phoenix Wright - Boot to the Head (Remastered)

[@Eldritchdraaks]

If only Mystery Ben could see what I've done with his masterpiece. EDIT (7/20/2024): I GOT TO MEET HIM AND HE SAID HE'S SEEN MY VIDEO! Validation achieved!

[@jaggerguth4391]

Or, have Mystery Ben use his "Mystery Skull Style" into this sketch. If his create the boot in the head, He better do it in his style.

[@red5158077]

Wait the original was Mysteryben?!

[@Eldritchdraaks]

@@red5158077 Yep! I don't remember if he ever said as much, but if you check out the CMSpyrowolf channel the original video is on, you'll see his pfp has similar glasses to his sona, the latest video uses his name Ben, and there's a three year gap between when he stopped uploading to that channel and started using MysteryBen. Also we know he's into Ace Attorney.

[@red5158077]

@Eldritchdraaks Wow that's crazy! It was thanks to his animations that I got into mystery skulls.

[@RadRaptor152]

Well he did leave us with something..... A boot to the head and yet another for Jenny and the wimp

[@d4peters86]

Kinda noticed that the alcoholic brother was the only one who actually got anything other than a boot to the head. Might show that Muldoon probably hated him the least out of all of them.

[@ivalsori]

Well, technically, the lawyer also got something other than a boot to the head

[@2Scribble]

Probably a decent drinking buddy from time to time xD

[@SorenDaein]

Noticed that too. Said alcoholic brother was probably gonna keep drinking till he died of liver failure so he decided to give him the wine cellar and 3 crates of whiskey since they contain more alcohol content than the average beer at a bar.

[@FLJBeliever1776]

@@SorenDaein - Or he could sell the Wine and keep the Whiskey and still live pretty comfortably for a while. Depending on the Wine. Which I think isn't taxable under Inheritance Laws and therefore he wouldn't have to pay anything for it. So, at the end of the day, Hedge got the best deal out of everyone present. Plus, you know, there was Ice Cream too. Also don't think that's on the Taxable Lists either.

[@danewardlocke9014]

I think that he also realized that the brother is the only one who was smart enough to catch on *and* protect himself (unlike the "know-it-all" who didn't protect himself even after everything that came before), so he, A. Did him early, and B. Gave him something real first to get his guard down. Also, as Soren noted, if he hates the whole family, giving the alcoholic a ton of wine and whiskey is basically helping him drink himself to death that much faster, so even if it's something Hedge would appreciate as a gift it's not *that* nice.

Now whether or not the wine cellar had anything in it shall continue to remain unknown.

If she hasn't asked, I wonder what would have happened alternately lmao Someone should do a series on funny vids like this with a "what if THIS happened instead" context at several different parts. Like: What if anyone had ducked when the boot was thrown at them? What if Hedge had actually covered up his head? What if Ralston had showed humility? What if the cat had come running in and attacked whoever was throwing the boots? What if the rabid tasmanian devil hadn't vanished XD

[@ethankriegel4614]

​@@Bro-cx2jcThe Frantics did a few Boot To The Head scetches and this is the first time I pictured it as a thrown boot. In audio format it feels like a kick to the head.

Been playing the HD Trilogy so what a time for this to show up. Remember watching the orignal about a decade ago, its great to see it redone with the new art.

[@Roarar]

I gotta say thank you for remastering this! The original video got me through some hard times (i'm serious, this skit was so funny to me 15 years ago that I would watch it when I felt depression kicking in) and today I decided to search for it again due to some REALLY big changes in my life causing me a depressive spell. I'm so glad others loved the original so much that it got a touch up!

[@Eldritchdraaks]

Hey, I know how it is dealing with depression. I'm struggling with it right now and it's tanked my drive to do much of anything, and absolutely ruined my physical health. I'm trying to fight it but it's hard. Best I can do is lean on my family and remember to take me meds every day. I'm glad I could help you even just a little. I wish you the best of luck.

The alcoholic brother reminds me of my grandfather's brother who I never met. He had a tendency to get roaring drunk on Midsummer's Eve and start fighting people... he ended up in newspapers in the 1930s and 1940s _three times_ as a result. First time, he got into a drunken argument with a colleague and hit the guy in the hip with a crowbar; the second time, he _and_ my grandfather attacked another guy with logs of firewood (???); and the third time, he poked a guy's eye out with a knife. He was arrested all three times and most likely paid fines or ended up in jail, lol. I was in stitches when I found those newspapers a few years ago. It was such stereotypical behavior for a farmer, it was like a black comedy skit. Heck, the firewood attack sounds like something out of Ace Attorney.
