Top 10 WORST Ways Calypso SCREWED Contestants Over

[@VicariousNickk]

Just wanted to give a shoutout to RobCrowley85 for the suggestion to today's video!

[@RobCrowley85]

WOOHOO! I didn't expect it would take off (though I did hope so) and definitely didn't expect you to act so fast! I'm impressed, mate!

[@AdaJackFrostEnjoyer]

I can't believe you'd try to slander Calypso's good name like this! He is a highly reputable and outstanding citizen and would in no way screw people over like this! (This message was sponsored by Calypso industries)

If i am TM2 Spectre and get my face stretched up till i covered the globe, I would scream like a air raid siren forever and make everyone deaf

[@enriquejoseantequerasanche6180]

@@KamataArushi410 who said you would be able to? Extra horror

[@MortenLongbottom]

It seems Ken Masters is barely able to do something, his whole face is so stretched that he can't even move his mouth to say a word, you can hear him trying to beg Calypso for it to stop. That was the most horrible ending for me.

[@kilo2492]

I like the theory for bloody Mary's ending where calypso delivers on her wish, but because of her delusional disorder, she imagines him saying that he'll never love her. It's all in her head

[@VicariousNickk]

Being that it takes play in TMB that honestly would work! I like this theory

[@GaidenDS10]

If there’s anything I actually might notice, it’s almost might be similar to Dollface’s ending in theory why she lived despite getting a bad ending. In Dollface’s ending the abuser gets killed ironically, in Spectre though, nothing is implied if this new lover had done something bad in the past but what if he did somehow that Bloody Mary might have forgotten somewhere? Now that’s a twisted narrative that might fit the ending.

[@Pen_Slinger]

That makes a lot of sense, she seemed to have some serious insecurity problems.

[@Shadester313]

Calypso stretching Spectre's face over the earth is genuinely one of the most creative uses of body horror i've seen in fiction.

[@jerrelscott418]

You missed a huge point for John doe, Calypso shot him because John came to realization that's he's a FBI agent and he's standing infront of the 2nd most wanted man in the world. Such a good ending

[@VicariousNickk]

@@jerrelscott418 I actually did mention that lol Watch that part again

[@ShagthePoker]

6:30: I find it ironic how Sony allowed that but censored one of Spectre's cutscenes in Black for having "child on child violence"

[@RobCrowley85]

I remember the Twisted Metal Black we got in the UK had all stories cut. Comspletely.

[@thefightinggameplayer]

@@RobCrowley85 Even the PS4 re-release; all lore and stories, cut. No loading screen dialogue, no driver info, no mid cutscenes, no ending cutscenes; other than your character driving away after beating Warhawk. I can understand the other censorship as we got TM:B in December. USA got the game in June 2001, three months before September 11.

[@RobCrowley85]

@@thefightinggameplayer yeah, exactly, it was all gone. I do understand certain choices, like removing the need to shoot a plane into a building to unlock someone, but other things were an overreaction. It was a seriously sensitive time and censorship ran wild, but to keep it all cut over 20 years later is very silly, indeed

[@thefightinggameplayer]

@@RobCrowley85 The website; the cutting room floor, cites "excessive violence" as the reason for removal of cutscenes. The plane; post 9/11 was understandable. The driver's info; I'm wholeheartedly calling bull on that being removed.

[@PhyrraFaefiel]

TM1 Calypso is my favorite just because of how he is such an unsettling to look at but very chill guy who decides to say "fuck you" so enthusiastically when the driver doesn't expect it

[@SHADOMEGA7569]

"It's just Calypso being an asshole" I mean it's basically Calypso in 3. He basically hijacked granny dredds wish from wanting the competition to end so her house stops getting shot at/destroyed to sitting and watching daytime television as long as she wants.

[@Hitomora]

It's the fact that in Spectre's TM1 ending he actually taunts the Driver by saying "Try again Next Year, Driver" proves how Petty Calypso can be

[@PillzmansFox]

#8 only Mr. Grim's father dies from the crash, Mr. Grim is killed by his younger self which if he grows up the same way would likely wish for his father to make it to the event, thus making it a time loop of the 2 wishes over and over as long as Mr. Grim wins

[@VicariousNickk]

Yeah I miss spoke, I meant to say that "his dad dies anyway" not All of them die. I guess me including the scene after the car accident shows that as well haha

[@pablofernandez2335]

@@VicariousNickk well, in fact all 3 die, that's still right, but not because of the crash like you said, Grimm's father dies because of the crash, adult Grimm dies in the hands of child Grimm and child Grimm would live forever in that time loop (as long as he always wins the TM contest), but what if that accident make Grimm have a second thought (not getting in the TM contest in the first place), how he would die as an adult without being sent back in time and experience Grimm's ending in TM (2012)? What a pharodox

[@KingDaveth]

I always loved when Calypso gets just deserts lmao

[@atomicskull6405]

I always just assumed that calypso lobotomized him.

[@kehobrien999]

I always viewed TMB's Yellow Jacket as kind of a metaphor as in "We all lose loved ones, but time will heal and we need the strength to move on." I always thought Calypso carrying him away was also a symbol for the kid to move on with his life and realize his purpose. Which in this case is fucked up to be the new contest host.

[@Ramirez77]

@@kehobrien999 Yellowjacket is very much story of the five stages of grief. Denial: Kid cannot believe his father died. Anger: They took my father away from me! Bargaining: Calypso my wish is to bring my father back! Depression: Calypso destroying the machine. Acceptance: Calypso telling the kid he’ll get over it and be stronger. Of course calypso is kinda fucked up in the way he is doing it and making him into a psychopath but the entire story of Yellowjacket is very much a story of the five stages of grief.

[@enriquejoseantequerasanche6180]

And all of that without taking into account the deep lore of Twisted Metal. Who else shares that last name, Kane? What was the setting of Tm:B? Won't say to avoit spoilers, but it is there.

[@thefightinggameplayer]

@@enriquejoseantequerasanche6180 It's also a part of Minion's loading screen text. Once the code is deciphered; the setting of TM:B is pretty much revealed. I too, will not say.

[@aidanbasker4020]

Calypso is more like Twisted Metal’s evil Djinn who granted the one’s three wishes and was freed from his lamp or whatever. #alwaysbespecificwhenwishing

[@Formula_Zero_EX]

Can you make your own ranking video on every Twisted Metal ending from worst to best? I know Drew Dessadoo and Tactical Bacon Productions already made one, but they’re so drastically different from one another, and I’d like to see your take on these endings.

[@jimmybig_d2210]

Smartest person to cast a wish was Needles Kane from TM Head On

[@termsservice9396]

I think Mr Grimms ending from TM2 is pretty awful. He is essentially sentenced to an intense drug (soul) withdrawal for the rest of eternity. Knowing what withdrawal is like, you wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

[@VicariousNickk]

That is true but he sorta brought that upon himself

[@pablofernandez2335]

Poor Firestarter, i always thought he had the most horrible way to go, and not only that, his ending is pretty much a non sequitur, since he wanted to have a barbecue with his friends, and not only "he's in the menu too" (i don't get Calypso twisting Firestarter's words there), also there aren't any other people other than the driver of Firestarter, he didn't ask to be the menu in any way shape or form, and no friends were to be seen in the ending, that's when i hated Calypso the most

[@andrewdowell6474]

Calypso really doesn't like Spectre or Mr. Grimm.

[@bloodyreveille450]

Yo! This was such a great video. I was so surprised to see the number 1 spot. Totally forgot that one existed! 😮😮

[@raimyonlinewarrior236]

Wait i thought that in TM black John Doe as also on the most wanted list. So Calypso shot him. And technically with Yellow Jacket, controlling a corpse and pretending it's still alive isn't healthy. By destroying the remote, the kid now has to face reality that his father is that and has to get over it. Him being kidnapped to be trained as the twisted metal star is pretty messed up.

[@sylvie9704]

Tm black calypso seemed to like only granting wishes that were revenge based. Such as no face or junkyard dog.

[@DailyBassist564]

Seeing that huge wall of supporters at the end brought a legit smile to my face. I'm happy for all of your success brother!

[@thelonelywolf88]

TM3 may seem to get a ton of hate, but I loved it as a kid. Even though their wishes sounds laughably weak, I thought the cutscenes looked amazing for the late 90s

[@HairyHarpy]

Mr ATV guy had it pretty bad

[@ELcabo555]

Spoiler alert! Damn this list is just basically Spectre and Mr. Grimm both to see which of these supernatural names calypso wants to torment more.

[@Ramirez77]

Calypso is very much the kind of antagonist that is very much willing to help out those who seek revenge on people who were wronged. Especially looking at all the revenge plots in Black that all ended with the wronged getting their revenge. He also is very much more willing to twist and screw with those that have selfish and self serving wishes. Also might be a kinda hot take but the Yellowjacket ending has a tiny bit of good in it if you ask me. Charlie’s son was coping with the loss of his father with the machine he was controlling him with. Calypso breaking the machine is forcing Charlie’s son to accept the loss of his father and push past it. Does it make Calypso good? Not really but I do see the ending as sort of an analogy for the loss of a loved one.

[@logansheffield8641]

Solid list. An honorable mention from each game would be Roadkill in TM1 (the live action version sees him seemingly connect with his squad after being sent back in time, only to be killed off screen by Calypso), Hammerhead in TM2 ("I sure do hope these first class tickets are refundable." 😂😂😂), Outlaw in TM3 (such a mess of a game, and then a nice big middle finger for beating it. Awesome.), Microblast in TM4 (was he turned into the statue? Was there a statue built of him for winning? These are the questions that have been floating through my brain since 1999.), Twister in Small Brawl (the implication of being launched into space with nothing protecting you is terrifying), Manslaughter in Black (the note legit just says Screw You, Love Calypso on it 😂😂😂😂😂), and then Sweet Tooth in 2012 (not getting that sweet final kill AND being buried alive? Needles got screwed big style!)

[@crimsonknight7011]

In Mr. Grimm 2012 they dont all die in the crash, his father dies again like he did in the past. However, in this Mr. Grimm and his past self survive the crash but Mr. Grimm is badly injured. His past kid self finds the gun his dad hid under the seat and shoots his future self Mr. Grimm

[@qty1315]

Top 10 times that Calypso ruined the entire Earth?

[@RobCrowley85]

Excellent list, thanks for doing this one and again, the fact you did it so quickly is impressive as hell. Great work!

[@bendydevil4935]

4:47 That got a laugh out of me! 😂

[@LurkerBelow]

Is there the possibility of a list where Calypso is "nice"? He is well known for the monkey's paw antics, but I know there are some of him being wholesome.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Calypso: everybody on three gets A bad wish/ending I just don't give a f*ck.

[@BurntOutMixedMedia]

Really can't believe you didn't do anything from Twisted Metal: Head On! The Spectre driver in that one is crushed to death by a tidal wave of money. The driver named Catfish wants to hunt Calypso, thinking he's an untrained city boy, only to be outfoxed by him and brutally gunned down. The driver of Twister demands to see her sister, the original driver of Twister, alive. Only to find out this means her sister is now a zombie.

[@magicofmacys]

Beating twisted metal is kind of like a deal with the devil without much positives.

[@kuruption21000]

mr grimms character selection image in tmb always got me cause in the cutscene it does look like a mask but on the selection it actually looks like he has a skull for a head

[@crimsonknight7011]

I mean I would also have put Dollface and Sweet Tooth from 2012 where he essentially kills them both. Something interesting tho is that in 2012 the name of Dollface is Krista Sparks. This is weird because in Twisted Metal 2, Krista Sparks is the name of Calypso’s daughter. But in 2012 she is just some random model.

[@ShardDeVir]

And in TM: Head On every day Calypso visits his heavily wounded and comatose daughter. He wants her to wish a recovery in TM, but she scolds him instead.

[@emberthefox4951]

How about a sequel for the wishes that went the best, or times Calypso was the one who got screwed over?

[@barnestaylor3936]

I actually believe in Thumper's ending in Twisted Metal 3, Bruce not only got his head turned into an ornament, but also his soul ends up possessing the car Thumper itself and after somehow upgrading from a low rider to a caddlac, Bruce now under the name of Super Thumper enters Twisted Metal 4 to return to his normal body.

[@linkzellda]

I'm really don't feel sorry for many of them. Remember that many of them are competing in a Death Match that is causing at lot of deaths to every corner without a care in the world, so why should I feel sorry for them?

[@kenlabarr7972]

Orbitals ending in TM4 is the closest (and only) that would resemble a wish granted by Calypso

[@GaidenDS10]

Funny thing about Bloody Mary’s ending fortunately she didn’t die, unlike other , other unfortunate contestants.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Like on twisted metal three he screwed everybody 😂 Almost the entire roster. Straight savage Calypso.

[@CassandraPantaristi]

I think Bloody Mary deserved her ending not getting with her true love in the end, because she murdered her best friend out of jealousy.

[@thomaslawrence9969]

Minion from TM 3 should have been on here

[@ronlivingstone1634]

Yikes! Now that is a stretch for him 7:23

[@BigSlick98]

Great list! The 2 I think of the most are Hammerhead and Outlaw 2 from TM2.

[@infamousxavier]

Actually in TM2 Outlaw knew that Calypso would pull some crap like this and had rockets I stalled in her cruiser so they both can return to earth.

[@BigSlick98]

@@infamousxavier That’s true but Calypso still twisted her words. One of the better endings in the series imo.

How about Dollface from Twisted Metal 2012? She wanted to be put on the biggest runway. Well Calypso granted her wish by putting her on an airport runway…with plane coming straight for her.

[@CarmineKar98K]

If you were to be lead dev on Twisted Metal, what would you have changed to make the game /Games better? Could be a decent speculative video.

@@VicariousNickk Warthog being tricked into having the body of a young man but his head is still old and shriveled, Hammerhead’s drivers wanting to fly and then jumping off a building not realizing Calypso bought them plane tickets, Outlaw’s drivers wanting the world free of crime and then realizing it means they no longer have jobs….these are all far better examples of being “screwed over”, a term that usually indicates some sort of dramatic irony and trickery. Instead, you featured at least two endings where he just shoots the contestant, possibly the cheapest way to screw someone over, and the absolute WORST example from the 2012 game. In THAT game Sweettooth asks to find his daughter not realizing she’s a buried corpse and he’s stuck with her underground, Dollface asks to be on “the biggest runway” and ends up on a busy airstrip, and the Preacher ends up in an abstract asylum. All of which were so much more worse and creative than “ok we’ll send Grim back in time but to a random moment where he causes an accident” that’s so cheap and devoid of thought. Hell, even Manslaughter’s ending in TM Black featured Calypso leaving a bomb with a note that said “SCREW YOU” and what a missed opportunity that was which could’ve easily replaced the number ten spot with Spectre.
