Ratchet & Clank - Let's Talk About Big Al

Big Al is one of the characters that made quite a number of appearances at least in the PS2 saga. As for the Future Saga, he was mentioned only. Let's go over these mentions.

So glad you guys enjoyed this video! Judging by the comments, you guys want more and have many requests :) Also, some of stuff I want to add reading your comments: 1. Al had siblings, Edwina and Bob. Funny thing, they all gave Clank an upgrade in the original. These siblings were scrapped in the re-imagining. 2. UYA deleted dialogue Al having a thing for Helga, pretty hilarious. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3nHdnptrZ6CbbM 3. Slight reference made by Clank in Tools other than Iris. I didn't recall this one.

VTNVIVI VTN what's the difference between a cat and a lombax

[@alessandrog5188]

VTNVIVI i've seen the video on your message, about the cut dialogue of Al... And... OH MY HOLY LORD! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@alessandrog5188]

Time Lords Ratchet speaks, is Yellow, he can walk on 2 legs and in the entire Franchise he owned more than 200 terrific Weapons. And he has a robotic pal! 😁😉

[@rebound2k170]

VTNVIVI big Al was that dude back in the old days when R&C was at it's prime not that I know how the fanbase used to be but yea make a video a sasha

[@mONGGGOL]

U make good videos b

[@BugsyFoga]

Besides the plumber and the smuggler , al is one my favorite side characters in the series.

[@VtnVivi]

Yeah :D

[@senseweaver01]

This is kinda stupid, but seeing his beard in the reboot reaaaaaally threw me off. I don't know why, my brain just couldn't handle it

[@VtnVivi]

Brainfart.

[@deadlyjeff9106]

same

[@precioustear]

I’d love a video about the galaxy’s greatest ancient warbots; Cronk and Zephyr! I love these two and would like to learn more from you

[@VtnVivi]

Noted!

[@ZAD720]

1st like. Big al has always been cool for me. Love your channel! I know your going to get huge on youtube before any of us know it! Gl

[@VtnVivi]

I appreciate that!

[@ZAD720]

VTNVIVI thanks for replying man! I’m a big fan ☺️

[@VtnVivi]

;)

[@CommentingCommenter]

I agree. He should make a return in a future game in the original game series.

[@MadDogSolo]

I deleted my comment, I thought you meant comment.

[@misterskyhigh6789]

The thumbnail with Al looks like some 40 year old with a white van.

[@VtnVivi]

+Game X Legit Haha!

[@KnightofLucrece]

It could be that Al still has his cybernetics, but after the events of Deadlocked he could have modified them so that way they could be hidden sort of? Like, either underneath a covering that resembles the rest of his organic body, or a special kind of Hologuise.

[@deadlyjeff9106]

IDK why I used to hate ur videos, they're actually really interesting and entertaining, and that message at the end of the video was true and wholesome. thanks for being here.

[@VtnVivi]

No problem :)

[@deadlyjeff9106]

Oh wow, you replied. Was not expecting that but thanks, I'm a big fan

[@snailgirl6]

In a galaxy of tech and money I don't see why not have al continue to prosper in a related business!!

[@Max_Cross09]

I want more of Sasha (She is my favorite) Very good video. Like.💙

[@ShadowGamer179.]

What about a video with Helga, she is said to be a valkyrie and what is her status with Qwark, we have seen Qwark flirt with her

[@VtnVivi]

Helga definitely especially with the recent news about her origin.

[@CommentingCommenter]

I'd like to see a video on Talwyn Apogee

[@VtnVivi]

+CoolKratos2 Hmm... I did talk quite a lot about her. But there is something that still bugs me.

[@CommentingCommenter]

What is it ?

[@siloPIRATE]

Angela Cross!

[@brennenleebrown8879]

Sasha or the galactic president from up your arsenal.

[@VtnVivi]

I vote Sasha :P

[@SnowWolfAlpha]

Always enjoyed Al. Don't forget in the deleted dialogue, he would have had a romance with Helga in UYA.

[@VtnVivi]

How adorable :)

[@rickimason140]

Nice video :) Would you be able to do a video about Rusty Pete and Captain Slag please :D

[@VtnVivi]

I think they will be covered in the Space Pirates video ;)

[@rickimason140]

VTNVIVI Sweet, thank you :D

[@StrictlyFactual]

Make a video for Skid Mcmarx

[@VtnVivi]

+ThirdStrike II That'd be cool!

[@SleeplessStreams]

Ratchet 2: Ratchet breezes over hanging out at Al's after saving the world because he thinks it's unimportant. Ratchet 4: Al literally saves Ratchet's life like 40 times

[@Clankin]

PS2 big Al:looks like a human PS4 Big Al:a fat furry

[@precioustear]

What a coincidence.. I was reading his Wiki article yesterday XD

[@bestofmyeffortcustoms2581]

Maybe Slim Cognito?

[@VtnVivi]

+Don'tKnowWhatToCallThisChannelYet Definitely.

[@alessandrog5188]

What character you have to analize in your next video? COPERNICUS LESLIE QWARK the sexiest man of the Universe for the Solana Galaxy... Man this guy make me laugh a lot.😂😂 ("That was 5 bolts wasted"... A GENIOUS!🤣) The italian voice actor Simply make him perfect, but also the english voice is absolutly great !

[@VtnVivi]

+Alessandro G ;)

[@oliverpony]

He's super thanks for asking !!!

[@royal1015]

Nice to see videos about Ratchet and Clank characters

[@VtnVivi]

There will be more :)

[@royal1015]

Could you do one about Captain Qwark ?

[@dirtyfighters7751]

Hmmmmm, why not Sasha? She was first introduced in Up Your Arsenal. We know that she became the New Mayor of Metropolis. And she was also in the comics, she was aiding Ratchet and Clank, to be honest, I really wish that that they brought her back and showed her in more games

[@VtnVivi]

Agreed!

[@timsheppard6204]

I don't know if you mentioned it but Al Bob and Ed are siblings

[@VtnVivi]

+Tim Sheppard Oh I didn't actually. They all gave Clank an upgrade, funny right?

[@rayzojams]

makes sense since they all have the same skin color

[@bobbyshewan4229]

That thumbnail was TERRIFYING

[@VtnVivi]

Boogga booga

[@bobbyshewan4229]

NOOOO

[@Coopergal33]

There was a Nokia game for R+C? Man the series went way back. I am happy for the recent games and movie. Anyways, I was just thinking about Sasha and Tawlyn :)

[@akeem4772]

i heard big al is named after a important person at insomniac games, Al Hastings

[@VtnVivi]

Cool fact :)

[@codymerrell976]

Yeash Quarks Design looked Creepy back then, also weve seen Quak wearing the same mask for a Long I can't tell is Quark human or you think he's covering up something ?

[@royal1015]

I have been asking myself the same question .

[@VtnVivi]

Dun dun dun!

[@silwi80]

VTNVIVI The smuggler!!! :D

[@VtnVivi]

He did know about Lombax history :P

[@jUppers]

poor souls who only played the movie version. i feel bad for them

[@andrewmartina2715]

I do always wonder whay happen in the q forcse gang like what happen too shasha helga was mentiond be quark in the tools of destrtionc arean and a crack in time she was mentiond too when he was about too get eaten by snowball and did get too hair big al from the radio and mentiond in all 4 one i dont know about the full fution assult and into the nexuses i never play thoughs games and i know skidd is back in ratchet and clank rifts apart i dont count the remake becasued its base on the orginal i just stick with the furture games

[@sinisorsia6604]

Awesome video!

[@NordiusOfficial]

The comics are superb.

[@VtnVivi]

I got the compilation through the mail today :D Ain't cheap but worth it :P

[@NordiusOfficial]

VTNVIVI He is mentioned in the beginning of ToD when clank has the vision and Ratchet suspects clank being dilusional. Ratchet “When this is over we should go see Al you might of fried a sister board.” Sorry for removing comment.

[@NordiusOfficial]

The comics are extremely worth it. :)

[@VtnVivi]

+JP8K Oohhh I see!

[@Jonathan_FrenchHyena]

I LOVED Al and what they did to him in the PS2 era (well, except perhaps the cyber transformation, lol). The PS4 version, meh, way less funny. One of the many, many characters I wish I would have seen in the Future era.

[@timsheppard6204]

I would like to have a video about Sasha but i want to know what happend to Helga

[@VtnVivi]

+Tim Sheppard Helga yes! We recently found out she's a Valkyrie :)

[@irishboy_pa]

He was a big part in ratchet and clank 4...... but we don’t talk about that one

[@VtnVivi]

Deadlocked? Why not :P

[@BugsyFoga]

@@VtnVivi yeah , its excellent

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

The comics were probably not even looked at by the original writers. Canon MY ASS.

[@raindropsr9892]

I find it funny that in the french version Al is voiced by the same guy that voice Clank, their tone are different, bu you can easily recognise the same voice actor

[@VtnVivi]

Cool :D

[@NordiusOfficial]

Good stuff.

[@VtnVivi]

Thanks mate!

[@meten-saiyanthelombax2970]

I like Big all's role in Ratchet deadlock. I realy thougt he was dead. But no. I did note his name in tools of destruction.

[@elchar3577]

he also gets mentioned by ratchet in ToD

[@dowottboy5889]

doesn't ratchet mention Big Al and his sister in Tools of Destruction? Something about taking Clank to him because of the whole thing with the Zoni and stuff

[@zdawgslifts]

I think big al is great he's so funny

[@VtnVivi]

Yep :)

[@r0ne]

So trilogy and future saga have same time line so we can call remastered r&c alternative saga

[@VtnVivi]

Basically

[@Rachebart]

i miss slimcognito :/

[@VtnVivi]

Always wondered about his origins....

[@tabreezsiddique]

0:00 - Looks like you want to talk about every character of the series at this point. :/ 0:51 - Unless they played the other games of the series as well you mean. 1:05 - That and it adds to all that theme of consumerism satire the original games on PS2 were known for back then. 1:19 - By that you mean ...? 1:39 - Well to me it's a Metropolis! 1:59 - OK. 2:23 - Big Al's brother. 3:03 - At the risk of endangering the planet I might add! :D 3:12 - He was pretty much the only member I personally feel was the most useful out of the rest of the Q-Force. 3:39 - It was ... scary when I first heard Ratchet after getting abducted. :/ 4:48 - Which one is that? ;) 6:32 - Perfect step in business if you ask me, everyone likes games right? ;) 7:12 - Oh yeah your right! Where did his cybernetics go? :/ 7:42 - That's all fine but how about Helga? Insomniac Games did mention that she was a Valkyrie herself. 7:48 - Always happy to watch. :)

[@shiichan32]

the reimaginning i dont think of as truly true in what happened cuz qwark was telling it. how much can we be sure is true considering

[@mod_123_]

Talk about ryno guy

[@VongolaXZax]

2 years later...

[@VtnVivi]

Time flies!

[@VongolaXZax]

Yep, it sure does!

[@imsecretspie]

Oh nooo the thumb nail is sooo "oh boy"

[@VtnVivi]

:P

[@keonreynolds4712]

Please make a vid on Sasha I want to know where the flip she’s been

[@VtnVivi]

I will talk about her eventually :)

[@PokemonkaDub]

Please do Helga.

[@VtnVivi]

The fact that we know she's a Valkyrie now makes it a whole lot more interesting!

[@ErdrickHero]

Whoa, legal reasons for Metropolis' name change? Let me guess, Metropolis is trademarked for use in film by someone else... Where'd you find this info?

[@VtnVivi]

Livestreams.

[@StrictlyFactual]

I was afraid that this might be another *YOU KNOW WHAT* video lol

[@VtnVivi]

Hahah no no.

[@cowabunga5525]

I have a question will you ever talk about Abe's oddysee and Abe's exodus

[@VtnVivi]

I don't think so :/

[@koyflores5176]

Skid McMarx would be cool

[@VtnVivi]

Indeed!

[@RipperRoo92]

I'm very curious to know what happened to Sasha.

[@VtnVivi]

You're not the only one :P

[@seanreviews6054]

well lets just say that Big Al is a dork

[@VtnVivi]

Indeed.

[@seanreviews6054]

also with the whole ratchets age thing to me i thought it was obvious he was 15 since in the game after the second hoverboard race the guy said ratchets employee discount wouldn't start until two years and in UYA the employee discount started to work.

[@adolfgaming1761]

Big Al > Gabe Newell

[@JK-nj3bt]

Without even comparison

[@jonathansianez8274]

Wat ever happened to sasha

[@VtnVivi]

Good question :)

[@nato9488]
