this is literally the only playthru ive seen of poppy playtime where they DONT immediately high five huggy wuggy, and its because ryan instead chose to slap him in the face and punch him in the groin repeatedly. gotta love the watcher boys

[@jesselindsey9760]

Why do you think Huggy's so hell-bent on getting them? I'd chase the guy who mercilessly punched me in the dick over and over again too.

[@montyr2083]

I had the same thought. "Here comes the high-five...oh. Oh, no, that's not the same at all. Oh, you ghoul boys."

[@LesserLord]

Pewdiepie did that too!

[@notyou5928]

Markiplier did. The moment he saw huggy.

[@SummerDream222]

You should go outside 😂

[@nicki___]

I love the consistent theme of Shane having to explain basic mechanisms like "explore the room" to Ryan whos just fucking around 😭

[@tanishas.8249]

this is like exactly opposite to what they do in ghost files 😭

My theory is that the Professor got bitten by the Beast of Gevaudan. Now, every full moon, he becomes Huggy Wuggy.

[@grace-ek6gv]

the way ryan has zero gamer instinct yet he's the one playing is i think the best part of this series

[@jeremieevans1294]

Fr lollll 🤣 it's a refreshing feeling 🤣

[@touristemily]

@@jeremieevans1294 It's definitely refreshing. I really hate watching gamer channels unless they're specifically showing a mission or simple play-through. Otherwise their play styles are very nearly the same.

[@Kristenhas3cats]

I must be absolute shit because Ryan seemed pretty skilled to me lol

[@munchycrunchybread]

@@Kristenhas3cats its not really so much as skill as knowing what to do imo. ryan can aim and fire, but if he doesn't know what to aim at or when, then skill is a bit redundant

[@brightongold4398]

You know I’m kinda surprised Shane and Ryan haven’t investigated a haunted factory. You’d think those places would ripe with ghosts before safety inspections became a thing lol

[@angelasfixations]

Since Shane likes Vermont he could always come hit up the old Winooski woolen mills. My gran worked at them when she was a little girl, so predating not just OSHA but child labor laws in general. Naturally, they're full of horrible accident ghosts.

[@ferisera]

Probably a site insurance/general safety/legal issue-it would be SO neat to see them do a little UrbExing while ghost hunting, but it's in a huge grey (at best) legal area.

[@kiwi_trucks]

there’d probably also be a lot of kid ghost there because of you know… the lack of child labour laws and safety precautions..

[@lisavictoria1606]

They are ripe with ghosts, indeed. Even with safety inspections, the ghosts keep coming. It’s awful.

Maybe he just has an elite fear of blue puppet toys lol

[@seerum]

[@max-m3n]

mortuary assistant is boring lol

[@goddessofmusic101]

It's because they were so bad at Mortuary Assistant that they completely overlooked a key component of the game and just skipped a bunch of the gameplay somehow (still have no idea how they fucking missed the sanity clipboard it's right there by the computer)

[@BringerOfGeekdom]

I know they’re doing horror games but tbh id kill to see them play something teamwork based like overcooked

[@nataliasomethingsomething6791]

They would kill each other

[@crazejen727]

I vote they do overcooked because it's basically a horror game. The horror of having to play as a team and attempting to make food on moving things.. pretty horrorifying lmao

Funny how this is advertised as nervous Ryan playing games, but Shane seems waaaayyy more freaked out by the games

[@clairvaux8459]

I love that the production team had to get someone to finish the puzzle for Ryan, but then they saw him die like ten times to Huggy and probably said "no, no, let's leave him to it. this is good content" 💀😂

[@breathinghumanperson3855]

I'll document possible jump scares for other easily startled people! Will update this as I progress through the video :) 11:20 air streams out of a pipe into the players face 18:18 huggy wuggy (that blue thing) appears and follows the player 18:29 huggy wuggy kills the player. A very loud noise is played 19:20 huggy wuggy once again kills the player because Ryan has no gamer skills 19:53 huggy wuggy appears in the vent and hunts the player 19:55 Ryan dies once again. Rip. 20:26 vents again 20:34 Ryan dies again 21:59 Ryan dies. AGAIN. 22:35 guess what. Ryan dies. 22:49 another death lol 22:57 another death. I regret that I did this but it's too late to stop 23:43 Ryan dies and it's very frustrating 26:35 the lights flicker after the glass box is opened. The video is over. I am finally free from my self made prison This is all I could find. Let me know if I missed something. The scariest part of this game is the frame rate and Ryan's insistence on fucking dying every two seconds

[@nerdygal6133]

I need them to play ‘Little Nightmares’ 1 and 2. it’s not even funny how much I need this

[@shrubert]

I was also thinking this. I don't know how well it would translate to their editing style -- there's only so much you can cut down Little NIghtmares and have it still make sense and to try and fit it into a 30min episode might be impossible. Maybe over multiple parts, like this one, with the different rooms playing the role that chapters do in Poppy Playground? Might harm the cohesion of the story a little but it could be a work around... I'd still love to see them try, whatever take they have! 😄

[@marinagonc61]

[@DanGamingFan2846]

The Ghoul Boys playing the highest quality survival horror sensation out right now? Hell yeah! The thought of Ryan using the grab pack for mindane tasks at the Watcher offices is hilarious. I'd be worried for him here, but this isn't the first time he's tangled with a fuzzy blue maniac.

[@watershipup7101]

Yeah, but something tells me he won't be able to throw Poppy out the window. 😂

i wouldn't call it the "highest quality." chapter 1 was alright, but it quickly fell off in chapter 2.

Shane’s forced calm tone while walking through the steps that Ryan learned the last 8 times he died is one I’m painfully familiar with when I’m playing video games with friends 😅 The underlying feeling of “We’re going to get through 😬 this no matter how frantically 😬 you mess up 😬simple😬 maneuvers”

[@apurplekitkat]

Idk who Brendon is, but thank you kind associate tech producer for helping them before they got stuck for another 10 hours on one puzzle :) And props to everyone's patience if Shane and Ryan's playthrough of Chapter 2 is already in development. Every playthrough I've seen of chapter 2 is over an hour long *with* some editing done, so I can't imagine how long it'll take with someone who doesn't enjoy puzzles lol. Either way, I'm strapped in and ready for the next episode of survival mode. This is a cool series

[@dumbalek6001]

This is my second encounter with this game. My first was when my friend told me this blue thing is a popular character lately and that some people in Poland call it "niebieski pierdolec": something that very roughly translates to blue fucknut. But that doesn't begin to explain what "pierdolec" is in polish and how accurate that name is for this character. The word "pierdolec" does come from the Polish word for fuck (pierdolić) but there's so much more to it. Pierdolec is a state of stifled hyperactive madness. When you're stewing in concoction of rage that you have to keep contained, that's the pierdolec state. And just look at it. It's a blue pierdolec.
