Supercut - Snake Asking Unnecessary Questions

[@kylefromtowerc9467]

I know this video is old but there’s a good explanation. The questions he asks are just how you be a good listener in Japanese. The translation just makes him look dumb

Yeah! I didn’t think of this until people commented but it makes perfect sense and I can totally imagine how natural this would sound in Japanese.

Recently, they have been competing with other private firms who share a similar cause. Snake: Other private firms?

I never saw them as "unnecessary", at least not to the degree that most people do here. It's a way to ask the other person to expand on whatever you're asking him about, or to express surprise about something the other party just said. Example: - "I was attacked by a ninja" - "A ninja?!" Here I am both expressing my bewilderment at that specific element of the other party's sentence, and I am asking for more details about it. It's like saying "A ninja? What do you mean? Talk more about this ninja"

180 IQ?

[@ShockerTopper]

This cracks me up so much, I never really noticed it playing this as a kid but it’s hilarious hearing a compilation. He seriously asks SO many questions mostly to himself too!

[@Razzrazz90]

I always kinda figured Snake’s expositional questioning was to help give the player a cliffnotes version of the important bits

[@Ymiriron]

Cliffnotes?

[@LPFan33]

Onion?

[@HaxHaunter]

+Shrek Shrek?

[@pussydestroyer5722]

[@ericmonaco4509]

He saves people from death?

[@bigbox7479]

[@DerekLieu]

Used to?

[@Angus_Gibson]

"We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty." "Extended warranty?"

[@lambda494]

What? Yeah, so? Yeah? Wolf? *Sniper Wolf?!*

[@ФомаФиллипов-я5б]

I love how each cutscene in the game has at least 20 examples

[@IAmBushid0]

Examples?

[@Ash-Winchester]

Liquid: Snake! Did you like my sunglasses? Snake: Sunglasses?

[@athardly]

[@Aernoth1]

[@jabadabadingdong2359]

Questions?

[@thatdudecalledZZ]

HANGING?!

[@WinterSoldierLTE]

***** You mean you've seen them naked?

[@EqualsThreeable]

It’s literally the entire game, explained only through questions. I’m dying laughing! It’s 3am and I’m slap happy and in tears. I think I’m waking my neighbors up.

[@Ymiriron]

Neighbors?

[@heis147]

It’s an incredible tactic though. He gathers as much information as possible while seeming dumb and ignorant.

[@Rgenickz]

Played us like a damn fiddle???

[@stratostheologou1889]

Ben Payano fiddle?

[@LetSwine]

Argenis Payano played?

[@bloomingteratoma]

[@raulsouza5866]

[@iviesdomain6434]

[@legacyoftheash7327]

He's just indicating that he's listening by repeating everything back to the speaker 😁

[@IAmBushid0]

Speaker?

[@nickpaternostro2900]

I find myself repeating this all day for no reason.

[@Ymiriron]

+Nick Paternostro repeating?

[@noor-rx1ij]

Myself?

[@KittyKatty999]

Reason?

[@Straswa]

Nice vid, never realized just how many questions Snake asks.

[@Xxandrew01]

+straswa Asks?

[@Straswa]

Indeed.

[@GerNomico]

9 months to answer, huh?

[@Straswa]

Months?

[@Im888tranquil]

I do not know why the Boss said he does not have an emotion to carry into battle... He is.. The Confusion!

[@RockmanMegaX]

You're pretty good. Pretty...good?

[@pwnt39]

I love how his voice gets more and more gravily

[@bigbossiswatchingyou4624]

Gravily?

[@KittyKatty999]

Voice?

[@slickcalf985]

Wolf? SNIPER WOLF!? I didn't know that.

[@CarlVercetti]

Kojima doesn't know compromises. -Snake talks too much -Snake doesn't talk at all. The hell?

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

Snake not talking in 5 has to do with the whole venom snake twist mainly.

[@cleverman383]

MGS4: Only cutscenes MGSV: No cutscenes

[@BrainBoltG]

1:49 "What's that? A disguise? A bi-pedal tank? Metal... Gear? What? What are you talking about? HELP ME!" I lost it.

"SECOND FLOOR BASEMENT?"

[@yutro213]

I like this video. Snake: "You like this video?".

[@binky2x518]

[@mushuwu]

I love how Snake sometimes adds a "Huh" at the end of his question, trying not to sound clueless.

[@FonchoVidal]

Meanwhile Venom Snake:

[@adamclark3451]
