The Spoony Experiment

Epic Brawl: The Infamous “Physical Altercation”

by Spoony on May 10, 2009 · View Comments

Now the truth can be known of the physical altercation that sidelined me for two weeks. It was a mighty battle that lasted for many days, and when the smoke cleared only a few retained their dignity.

Who emerged victorious? Find out! Watch the video!

  • Magda
    I think that was the best thing i've ever seen.
  • HEART!!!!!

    Holy god i can't believe i just around to watching this...this is some seriously funny shit. I love the whole thing, but i gotta say, three moments rise above the rest as making me totally lose my shit more than the others...

    (in no particular order)
    "I AM A MAAAAA-AAAAN!!!!" *BLAM

    "we'll show em girl witht eh goggles" "don't touch me" "...right"

    "remember you're roots, tom...REMEMBER YOUR ROOTS!" *KAPOW "SHO-RYU-KEN!!!!"

    this is some seriously funny shit. I also loved "and 8 bit mickey" and the whole Nostalgia critic can't remember a stirring speech so just referring to ones he heard in movies, and the snapping pics of the girl fight thing, and ANYTHING with that damn heart kid from captain planet...man actually i;ll just stop and say the whole video was friggin awesome or i'll just rattle off virtually every joke as worth noting...

    holy crap guys this was epic, awesome job all around. this must have been very complex to produce and it shows, but you gotta do more. as the video says "the fans eat up this crossover shit"...cause it rules. man i shoulda watched this sooner...

    just a suggestion, the combined bial filled might of all the critics should join together like the justice league to destroy the most evil creature to blight both the world of film and video games...UWE BOLL!!

    think about it. "CRISIS ON INFINATE FORUMS!!!" (insert dramatic music)

    You guys rule, best laugh i've had all day

    I thoroughly enjoyed this video - and I've watched it about 6 times so far lol. I don't get half the jokes*, but it's still a very good laugh.

    Good job all.

    * Well, I did after reading powerbar's (#261) post (cheers for that), but when I first watched it I didn't.

    to mr. 257. xNeEDlzZ KAINx.

    to understand what you just saw, you must be familiar with the running jokes or the work of the reviewers evolved in the Brawl.I my self don't know every last one of them so here is what i know that made this funny for me.
    It all started with the Nostalgia Critic and the Angry Video Game Nerd little "fight". and they made about 3 final fights now, so here is one joke, and this is why the fight is centered around them
    then there is the nostalgia Chick, and her "Big Lipped Alligator Moment" running joke (it was hilarious in the brawl).
    AVGN reviews old bad games, being vocal about his thoughts, the Super Mecca Death Christ Version (insert number here) and many other things was his invention.
    Nostalgia Critic/Chester A.Bum/AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses(?), are all characters of Doug and every single on of them are diferent in every way possible, Nostalgia Critic is similar to the AVGN (shh, he doesn't like that to be said) but he reviews bad old movies; the Bum reviews movies when they are in the cinema in a funny, hallucinate and very enthusiast way, and ATGWTG answers some crazy UN-answerable questions like, "what happens if you get scared half to death twice".
    Kyle Justin is lives behind the AVGN couch in the reviews, and they are not really friend that why he only said a little "well thnx" when saved.
    Linkara and his "I am a MAN!!" running joke form Superman at earths end. Running joke of the year ppl =P
    im not familiar with nether Benzai's nor awesome tom's work (sorry about that)
    Little Miss gammer has no running joke that i know off, but her work is funny, i watch some of them and i liked them
    Spoony, well he is Spoony you are here, you know about what i have to say, but he could have made some more things (Dr. Insano would be awesome)
    again not familiar with Mars Girls work (hope the name is right)
    Angry Joe, is a tough man, invincible! , but you only see him get owned =)
    not familiar whit Shawn's work (again sorry)
    That Chick with the Googles has no running joke, but i know her work and its good stuff, she even spooned with spoony (go check it out, its hilarious.)
    Lee from Still Gamming, i saw it a couple of times but not enough to talk about it, but i will check it out some more.
    the Sage has some freaking funny reviews, he's been running for about a year now if I'm not mistaken.
    Ma-Ti, go check out Captain planet Heart power and you will understand the joke. HEART!

    i think i haven't left out anyone.
    now go check some of the Reviewers work and watch this movie again, and maybe you will see that the "little world" they are in, is a hilarious one.

    wow this took along time to write. hope it helps you and next time don't just offend other peoples work like that.

    GREAT JOB EVERY ONE

  • Emran
    the guy with the guitar,spooney,ed,headphones guy,Nostalgic guy and sage are my favs

    I would like to know the others works and see if I like them enough to become a fan of them.
  • Dan
    That video was concentrated epicness.
  • Iressivor
    I've watched the Epic Brawl three times now, and loved it more each time. That said, I think Spoony's entrance kinda stole the show here. Looking back on it, his was the only intro that had any measurable impact - almost everyone else just kinda walked on screen. As much as WE all loved it, I felt it was especially good for newer fans who aren't familiar with him; if nothing else, it serves to make them feel as if they SHOULD know him.
  • R-idgway
    I agree with the Critc. That is what the Cloverfield monster should have been.

    Also, why didn't Doctor Insano bestow upon your team with his Plasma Ion Regeneration Field Generator Kit, of Science!
  • JollySam
    "I’m sorry, but that video sucked, and it sucked for the reason that it didn’t have enough Spoony. But seriously, it was awesome."

    It sucked, but it was awesome? What does that even mean?! Am I the only guy who speaks English here?
  • ABinx
    I think the Monti snub at the end was foreshadowing for "The Revenge of Monti" next year.
  • Red Falcon
    Oh hellz yeah! Spoony, lol, I loved how you were always on your phone, taking pics w/ your phone, and how you smacked Z!

    That was awesome and very inspirational! Movie/Project time! :)
  • Epic... Just epic. I don't think I'm the only one that was giggling like a little schoolgirl in excitement.

    I mean... what? I didn't do that!
  • Hah, ha. Man, this just gets funnier every time I watch it. Kudos to all involved, I have to say. Spoony, all of you, you're a talented bunch of geeks.
  • Sjuge
    This makes Ben Hur look like an epic.

    "And to all the people who love to hate and say it’s not funny, I’d love to see you do better."

    While I wasn't exactly ranting about the movie (it was merely ok), I wish people would stop this flawed argument. You never criticize a videogame you think is average at best? It's not relevant whether you have the same profession or not.
  • Ed
    Words like "holy shit that was awesome" don't begin to describe how awesome that actually was. On top of everything else, the scene with you and Nostalgia Chick was EPIC win. (Although Linkara's "I AM A MAYUNNN~!" also ranks high!)
  • Laytruce
    There should totally be a fighting game based on this video.
  • Indepth Vision
    Spoony, that was freakin awesome! I first saw this on TGWTG and thought it was just another NC vs. AVGN battle. But as soon as I saw you enter the video, I knew it was going to be an instant classic, great job! And to all the people who love to hate and say it's not funny, I'd love to see you do better. People love to criticize what they can't do themselves.
  • Jeroen
    To be honest I didn't enjoy it that much, as it suffers from X-men 3 syndrome (too many characters). Not to mention the fact that I didn't recognize 80% of the reviewers. That girl with the pigtails is cute though. It was nice to see Handsome Tom again.
  • dhaxor
    AVGN, Nostalgia Critic, and Spoony under one roof? I just came with the pure awesomeness!
  • Isolder74
    I guess Dr. Insano spent all his time over at either the Field Museum or the Science and Industry Museum. Did you tour the U-505? You'd better have!
  • bee_oh_three
    Not much else to say...that was pretty damn epic!
  • Jeroen
    Yahtzee lives in Australia so it's understandable that he couldn't show up.
