Since the Monopoly video will take two weeks to make, this week we're starting off the Tournament Challenger series with everyone's favorite demon! (Don't worry, the Monopolys are next) Which games that I've covered would you like to be in the next TC Edition? Be sure to let me know and keep sending in the games you'd like to see take a shot at the title!
I don't think you have talked about it but i will always bring up my hatred for Top Trumps it is war but the sole selling point is random brands (i have a personal hatred for this)
Ha ha, that ending... so... I'm at a loss for words on what to describe the impending doom and/or dread that the Rap Rat will cause if he loses. Assuming the knock-off Chuck E. Cheese is a good sport. I'm sure that he'll behave... but given his alleged demonic origins, I have no way in predicting this cheese lovin dude's next move. Pray to whatever god and hope he'll be a good demonic entity.
Idk if it's more or less reassuring that, given it looks like it's made of latex and this game was made multiple decades ago, the costume's probably rotted away by now. But I mean, he'll probably come back. He always comes back...
You can tell they were going for a 'street rat' but had no clue about that culture, and just did basic rhymes followed by repeating the exact same footage 4-6 times in a row, because THATS RAP. It's so bad it's fascinating.
Something worth noting about Rap Rat is that there are technically 2 different versions of it based on what analog TV system the country uses; the NTSC version released in North America, and the PAL version released elsewhere. There are 2 main differences between them. First, the NTSC version lasts 10 minutes per game, while the PAL version lasts 15 minutes. Second, in the NTSC version, the die has colors and you move to the nearest space of the color rolled. But since you only pick up pieces if you land on your color and nothing happens if you land on a different color, the board is technically completely pointless. By contrast, the PAL version uses a traditional 1-6 die, so at least the board isn't pointless. Also, I'm not 100% confident about this, but I think the instructions on the video are PAL exclusive, and the nonsense about gnomes sliding and cats talking was the NTSC version's way of making up for that not being there.
@@berr21able I found an Australian PAL version that is 6-player, 10-minute... Do you know if that is the same as the US NTSC one in terms of punishments?
Yeah, I found the entire video dumped on TH-cam & watched it out of curiosity (though I did have to take it in chunks). I didn't see the punishments he harps about, and I actually was waiting for the "return all your pieces" one because I didn't know which game it was, but it didn't happen. So maybe that's the PAL version only.
@@daffers2345just watched the whole NTSC version (my regret is immeasurable this was NOT worth it) and you're correct. It happens twice in the first game, once in the second, and not at all in the third. Also fun fact while he's interrupting the cheese is still getting eaten! At least Nightmare paused the timer when the game master was on screen.
I'm glad someone else already made a creepypasta featuring rap rat, because with the way they keep replaying his words instead of making the actor say it multiple times, it genuinely felt like I was watching a haunted VHS that would put a curse on me if I watched too much of it.
I will once again state that I thought the creepypasta made the game up, and the fact it's real feels like I got punched in the face. I don't think I'm alone on that front
@@mr.meloetta1939 I saw the video before hearing of the creepy pasta but if didn't I would have as well. its perfectly designed to look like a mock creepypasta game.
I appreciate that whenever you make a video about The Video Board Game: Rap Rat, you always refer to The Video Board Game: Rap Rat by its full and proper title.
Rats rats we are the rats Celebrate another one a birthday bash Michael, it's your birthday today Cake and ice cream is on its way And Michael was such a good boy this year Open up the gifts while we all cheer
Rap Rat could be somewhat fun if you try to play it cooperatively to try to get as many people to complete it as fast as possible before the rat makes it impossible. I think the fun could be in the cooperative hecticness of it all.
I nominate "First Martians: Adventures on the Red Planet". It was such a neat concept I was super excited when I picked it up. I love space, love space games. I tried to play this game (solo, since it does say you can play it alone). It took about 30 minutes to set up and figure out how to play, I played for maybe 30 minutes, and gave up (I realized I'd been making an error each turn, and decided there was no fun to be had in trying again). It's way too complex to be fun, it has WAY too many pieces, and a LOT of those pieces aren't necessary. Like you have to indicate of a component is working or broken, so to do this you have to put a red or green cube in an indent on the component card.... or you could have just had 1 kind of cube to indicate one state and have the indent be the other color, since those are the only two states. Also, you HAVE to use an app to play the game. Maybe it should have stayed an app.
Between the concept, writing, animating, and actually publishing such a thing, the sheer amount of cocaine that went into the creation of Rap Rat is concerning to think about
For clarification, you should mention this entry is focused around the NTSC version. I watched the PAL Version of the VHS (it's the one advertised in the advert) and literally everything is better in the PAL Version. 1. PAL Rap Rat isn't incomprehensible, a bit eccentric sure, but honestly, a fairly pleasant host. NTSC Rap Rat is terribly erratic and hard to follow at times. 2. The given punishments in the PAL Version are never too crazy. The worst it gets is returning 2 puzzle pieces, even in Game 3. The NTSC version is the only version that has these crazy rules. We got Partners in Timed with this version. It's way harder and more unfair 3. The PAL VHS has better music, (in my opinion), but even disregarding that, it has the handy instruction video at the beginning, and graphics signifying the beginning of each game, which helps with navigating the VHS while rewinding and fast-forwarding. NTSC Rap Rat? None of that. 4. The pieces are better in the PAL version. Tl;dr: You should be aware about the NTSC version of Rap Rat. The PAL Version is better in every regard. NTSC versions were somehow worse, cheaper, and harder then the original PAL Version
Additionally, the PAL version also caps the player count at 4 instead of 6. This means rounds will go by faster due to less players in the game, and it also means that you’re more likely to land on your colour due to there only being 4. To further help players land on their colour the 4 corners of the board are also “jokers” that can give out any of the 4 colours. One more thing the PAL version does is scale some of the punishments with the player count. The “lose 2 pieces” one only happens at 2 players (which makes sense cause each player will get more turns overall). In 3 player games it’s only “lose 1 piece” and in 4 player games there is simply no punishment at all (for those sections at least). This information could honestly wind up making Rap Rat do better to be honest, since it seems like the creators knew how bad their own game was and made a “lighter” version (although I don’t know for sure if PAL came after NTSC)
@ajlecour9321 considering A Couple of Cowboys (the publisher behind this game, and the much more beloved Nightmare/Atmosphere) was an Australian company, and Australia is a PAL country, I'm guessing the PAL Version was the original.
Also I learned more regional differences. 5. The PAL version has games last 15 minutes instead of the NTSC 10 minutes. 6. In the PAL Version, the die is numbered, making the board serve more of a purpose. In the NTSC version, the dice is color coded, making the board somewhat superfluous. 7. The PAL Version makes you collect 8 pieces of puzzles, while the NTSC version makes you collect 10. Something tells me that the PAL Version was considered "too easy and over too quickly" So they made the NTSC Version harder to compensate. After seeing people actually play the board game itself, it is a frantic game and people play it super quickly. Maybe, to the point where the game didn't last long at all. So they made the game harder and more unfair. Shortening Times (15 minutes to 10 minutes), Adding Players (4 Players to 6 Players), Adding to the amount of puzzle pieces you have to collect (8 Pieces to 10 Pieces), making the Rap Rat punishments more devastating, and reducing the gameplay to rolling your color ten times in ten minutes.
@@GoldenTGB I bought a copy of Rap Rat, and I actually can say with confidence that this isn't true. Despite Australia being a PAL country, I think the more difficult version is the original based on the die and amount of pieces.
My Take: Cons: Unfair Boring Creepy Like seriously it's Candyland but you're being haunted by a Demon (Edit: Darn it, they make that Joke in the Video too) Pros: Sure it's bad, but not outright unplayable (Compare Adultery or Campaign for NA), and the fact that it's for Children should always be considered (again, Compare Adultery or Campaign for NA) If he loses we may not see our families again
You inspired me and my friends to try Rap Rat. It was hilariously awful and we could not stop laughing the entire time, thank you for introducing us to our new overlord
I watched the video (in chunks -- it was a bit much to watch it in one run, let's face it) and I actually thought it looked kinda fun BECAUSE it was SO weird. XD
I feel like the hatred for Rap Rat is so great, it just might be enough to take the crown away from Adultery. Definitely a #1 seed and heavy favorite imo.
First time I'm catching the tournament live (basically and not the full recap of the entire tournament like last time) and oh god.... That first entry is already insane, deep run incoming for that one.
"Or return every single piece of your puzzle. This last one is especially devastating because it happens with 30 seconds left in the round, you just lose! He just says you lose! Why can he do this? 'If he asks you to do something, you must do it. Because he's Rap Rat, and he's the boss.' " May just be the funniest ~20 seconds ever to exist.
Rap Rat is CERTAINLY deserving of the 1-2 seed. It believe it would have been viable for the tournament even if it didn't have the Rat itself, since Candy Land was present in the last tournament, but the Rat makes this game something much... much... worse. XD
There’s a video by @RecordBreaker301 where he somehow ‘forced’ his friend to play the entire game and suffer with him under the yoke of this rhyming rodent. Apparently this hell of an experience impressed the algorithm so much it blew up into his most popular video
Crazy? I was crazy once. They put me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. The rats make me crazy! Crazy? I was crazy once. They put me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats.

Holy shit rap rat was real????? I remember it from a creepypasta I listened to as a kid. I figured "oh man, this raprat thing looks absolutely horrific- it had to have been made specifically FOR this story" lmao
I think I should mention that the PAL version if the game is marginally better than the American one, having a more lenient timer (15 minutes instead of 10) and the die being numbered instead of colored so the board actually has a purpose. So the game on the tournament is best being the American version specifically, though the PAL version isn't much better.
Honestly, you could probably do an entire tournament of just "video" board games. They were surprisingly popular in the 90s, and the trend continued into the 2000s with the DVD board game as well. There was a series of these where the video host was meant to be an evil demonic monster, and I fear the RapRat more.
Here is a bad game: Rebs and Yanks. You need 2 dice pencil and paper to play none of which are included in game. The game is trick taking but you have to have one of your generals to fight. Basically the game comes down to who can draw their general first in the round. All luck. The game is so bad that when the terrible box broke and I lost 5 of the cards I was HAPPY to throw the stupid game in the recycle bin. Never have to play it again!
“Kid’s entertainment that’s here to stay.” *is only recognizable to the general internet public because of a zero-effort creepypasta that manages to be less scary than the actual game*
There are different voices depending on what version you get, you get a deeper more mobster voice in the PAL version, even more interesting is the background voices like when they say rap rat, they sound a bit more like a cult, and the people saying cheese sound weirdly uncomfortable.
I actually heard of the creepy pasta long before I knew there was an actual gam. I remember being terrified of the creepy pasta. Now I’m just scared for a different reason
Tbh in my opinion the only good thing about this game is that there’s most likely a way to play it without the vhs tape. Truly a great contender for TWBGOATT2
I think the thing that trips me up most is that despite the name and theme(?) the players have nothing to do with rapping not even the rat really does it aside from the rhymes and the ytp level of repeating words. If there was even anything like the Vanilla Ice rapping game this could've been at least funny bad but no it's just bad bad.
His name is rap rat He is the boss of hell Also I genuinely thought this game was an original writing creepypasta I didn’t know it was real its mind meltingly scary for any kids Under 10 which is weird as that seems like their audience as I see no sane sober adult playing this
I propose to get F.A.T.A.L nominated and get into the bracket possibly as a no 1 seed as that board game is absolutely miserable and who in their right mind would make a game like Fatal?
The problem with F.A.T.A.L is it’s not a board game, it goes under the category of Table Top RPG and with that it requires more time investment and has more mechanics allowing it to be significantly more awful than a board game that have only one night to be awful. It would be the worst in the Landslide.
@@fancyb.p.6122 Idk, I'm not sure FATAL is even the worst TTRPG out there -- it has a very bad point of view and its rules render it basically unplayable, but that's also true of RaHoWa [Racial Holy War], and RaHoWa doesn't even have the fact that random character creation might be dumb enough to be funny going for it. [Some other lesser seeds in a Bad TTRPG tourney would be: Myfarog, which is also extremely racist and tedious, but the game math does at least create a semi-playable game; Synnibar, which isn't ethically problematic, just extremely gonzo and borderline unplayable; and Wraeththu, whose setting is so positively bonkers I actually can't remember anything I read about the rules and if it's playable.]
While the game does have a cult following, so I don't envision it getting a high seeding or making it far into the tournament, I would like to see Pokemon Master Trainer nominated on behalf of being the most insanely unbalanced game I have ever played. Games can last upwards of 8 hours if you're unlucky and have sufficiently petty friends because of just how unbalanced some of the item cards are. Or the game could end in 30 minutes if you get a good enough streak of luck.
OKAY YKNO WHAT I CAN SEE WHY THERE'S A CREEPYPASTA. but at the same time It woulda been genius if someone did a MARIO style "i found this old board game online/ in a thrift store and here are my findings" story.
I think a disadvantage Rap Rat has is how corny it is. It’s not like Bumps and Grinds, and Fatal because how it’s stupid, and I think both of them would beat Rap Rat

Rap Rat is CERTAINLY deserving of the 1-2 seed. It believe it would have been viable for the tournament even if it didn't have the Rat itself, since Candy Land was present in the last tournament, but the Rat makes this game something much... much... worse. XD
There’s a video by @RecordBreaker301 where he somehow ‘forced’ his friend to play the entire game and suffer with him under the yoke of this rhyming rodent. Apparently this hell of an experience impressed the algorithm so much it blew up into his most popular video
Look, if an X-Factor for your game isn't just that. That is a game with a deep run period.
Crazy? I was crazy once. They put me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. The rats make me crazy! Crazy? I was crazy once. They put me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. The rats make me crazy! Crazy? I was crazy once. They put me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. The rats make me crazy!
Stupid? I was stupid once. They put me in a room. A ham room. A ham room with Man. And Man makes me stupid!
The rap rat trailer has more rapping than the game itself
Imagine you're playing rap rat with your 80 year old grandma. Oops, now you can't play
I bought a copy of Rap Rat on eBay. Best $40 I've ever spent.
Holy shit rap rat was real????? I remember it from a creepypasta I listened to as a kid. I figured "oh man, this raprat thing looks absolutely horrific- it had to have been made specifically FOR this story" lmao
Rap Rat should face Mouse Trap.
I think I should mention that the PAL version if the game is marginally better than the American one, having a more lenient timer (15 minutes instead of 10) and the die being numbered instead of colored so the board actually has a purpose. So the game on the tournament is best being the American version specifically, though the PAL version isn't much better.
Honestly, you could probably do an entire tournament of just "video" board games. They were surprisingly popular in the 90s, and the trend continued into the 2000s with the DVD board game as well. There was a series of these where the video host was meant to be an evil demonic monster, and I fear the RapRat more.
Atmosfear?
Here is a bad game:
Rebs and Yanks.
You need 2 dice pencil and paper to play none of which are included in game.
The game is trick taking but you have to have one of your generals to fight. Basically the game comes down to who can draw their general first in the round. All luck.
The game is so bad that when the terrible box broke and I lost 5 of the cards I was HAPPY to throw the stupid game in the recycle bin. Never have to play it again!
Imagine having a game so bad, people are more interested in the creepypasta than the actual game.
ITS HERE
Imagine losing 20 or more turns just because you wanted to see how awful this game is.
NO WONDER THIS SPAWNED THE CREPPY PASTA I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FUCKING STORY
“Kid’s entertainment that’s here to stay.” *is only recognizable to the general internet public because of a zero-effort creepypasta that manages to be less scary than the actual game*
4:09 why did bro hit the MRRRR BEAAAAAST
Idk if this is where to suggest ideas but the 2000 Survivor Board Game definitely deserves a spot here
There are different voices depending on what version you get, you get a deeper more mobster voice in the PAL version, even more interesting is the background voices like when they say rap rat, they sound a bit more like a cult, and the people saying cheese sound weirdly uncomfortable.
my brain hurts knowing this was REAL.
Ah yes, the analog horror before analog horror is a thing.
This game had a creepypasta
Spamton if he had a board game
This looks like something they’d play in gravity falls
My Grandma when she hits the "skip as many turns as your age" penalty:
He's Rap Rat, and he's the boss.
Most people only remember this board game from the creepypasta
Thanks, I'll be seeing this rat in my nightmares now...
I'm surprised you didn't bring up how annoying it is when he repeats words.
I genuinely thought this board game was just made up for a creepy pasta, glad to know my childhood fear of rat demons was 100 percent real
The Video Boab Oyedivuth.
rap rat would have been genuinely grating to me as a kid tbh, really hoping it goes far
I loved Rap Rat as a young child
If I had played this game as a kid, I would have developed a fear of rats.
That intro video actually gave me multiple jumpscares at 4am, and has me dizzy in my stationary bed... my bad ig
If he asks you to do something, you must do it, because he’s Rap Rat and he’s the boss.
I actually heard of the creepy pasta long before I knew there was an actual gam. I remember being terrified of the creepy pasta. Now I’m just scared for a different reason
Well I can’t wait for the RapRat analogue horror series
3:42 your kid nieces and nephews be like:
I genuinely did not know raprat was real, i thought it was something made up for the creepypasta.
Now i know why my wife left me.
Me too, minus the wife thing
Tbh in my opinion the only good thing about this game is that there’s most likely a way to play it without the vhs tape. Truly a great contender for TWBGOATT2
I think the thing that trips me up most is that despite the name and theme(?) the players have nothing to do with rapping not even the rat really does it aside from the rhymes and the ytp level of repeating words.
If there was even anything like the Vanilla Ice rapping game this could've been at least funny bad but no it's just bad bad.
His name is rap rat
He is the boss of hell
Also I genuinely thought this game was an original writing creepypasta I didn’t know it was real its mind meltingly scary for any kids Under 10 which is weird as that seems like their audience as I see no sane sober adult playing this
Monopoly Cheaters Edition HAS to make it in
What about Monopoly for Millennials?
Now imagine if they made a licensed Monopoly game based on Skibidi Toilet.
I propose to get F.A.T.A.L nominated and get into the bracket possibly as a no 1 seed as that board game is absolutely miserable and who in their right mind would make a game like Fatal?
The problem with F.A.T.A.L is it’s not a board game, it goes under the category of Table Top RPG and with that it requires more time investment and has more mechanics allowing it to be significantly more awful than a board game that have only one night to be awful.
It would be the worst in the Landslide.
@@fancyb.p.6122the campaign for North Africa, the desert war was included despite being similar. F.A.T.A.L ALL THE WAY (jk MCE is the wbgoat)
@@fancyb.p.6122 Idk, I'm not sure FATAL is even the worst TTRPG out there -- it has a very bad point of view and its rules render it basically unplayable, but that's also true of RaHoWa [Racial Holy War], and RaHoWa doesn't even have the fact that random character creation might be dumb enough to be funny going for it. [Some other lesser seeds in a Bad TTRPG tourney would be: Myfarog, which is also extremely racist and tedious, but the game math does at least create a semi-playable game; Synnibar, which isn't ethically problematic, just extremely gonzo and borderline unplayable; and Wraeththu, whose setting is so positively bonkers I actually can't remember anything I read about the rules and if it's playable.]
While the game does have a cult following, so I don't envision it getting a high seeding or making it far into the tournament, I would like to see Pokemon Master Trainer nominated on behalf of being the most insanely unbalanced game I have ever played. Games can last upwards of 8 hours if you're unlucky and have sufficiently petty friends because of just how unbalanced some of the item cards are. Or the game could end in 30 minutes if you get a good enough streak of luck.
OKAY YKNO WHAT I CAN SEE WHY THERE'S A CREEPYPASTA. but at the same time
It woulda been genius if someone did a MARIO style "i found this old board game online/ in a thrift store and here are my findings" story.
i think everyone would be devastated if Monopoly Cheater's Edition didnt make it into the tournament
Oh god, it's my sleep paralysis demon.
Honestly rap rat is a favourite for at least top 8
Rap Rat, Max Headroom's nightmare demon pet
the single solitary thing i know about this game is The Video Boab Oyedivuth
I think a disadvantage Rap Rat has is how corny it is. It’s not like Bumps and Grinds, and Fatal because how it’s stupid, and I think both of them would beat Rap Rat
