- Love this series on Oneyplays with Ding Dong and Julian, so I wanted to make a compilation of my favorite YIIK moments. Threw in some extra edits as well
#YIIK #Oneyplays #YEEK
Original Series: • YIIK: A POST-MODERN RPG - ตลก
Alex is 100% the guy to comment “erm, god doesn’t exist” under every religious post he sees
Chauncy in real
Three Let's Players bully World's Most Painfully Heterosexual Protagonist into kissing his male friend
I don't know what Alex Yiik is, but I know he isn't that, maybe.
Heterosexual more like on a love quest for a boyfriend-free china
What does the word painfully do for your sentence? Nothing.
I am painfully liking everyone’s comments out of pure agony
@@bayardkyyako7427 makes it funee
"This is where I watched my sister die, Alex."
"Shut the fuck up Rory."
Cowabummer!
is it bad i completely agree with alex for once?
This is where you watched your sister die OOPS! OOPS!
Someone please mod it so all of Alex’s dialogue is just “I love being in YIIK”
Over and over again no spaces
If I came across without any context I would genuinely believe I was in a creepypasta.
And make it so every one of his dialogue sprites has his hands on his head
That'd be a legit improvement over the original dialogue.
and with Oneys voice clip being used
The build up for kissing Rory made it so much better in that episode, I thought the editor added it at first it was too perfect
ding dong wanted to kiss rory for like 5 episodes before that too it was so fuckin funny
If you don't try to kiss Rory he commits suicide
In this highlight it sucks tho
@@Smackmate please don’t tell me you’re serious
@@darkvioletcloud It's pretty real. If you try to kiss Rory then kinda treat him like a jerk for a majority of the time with the rude dialogue options, Vella will tell Alex she found a suicide note from Rory and uh ... yeah, he's not in the party anymore.
i like how we all collectively agreed that the game is called "Yeek"
No! it is yiik. 😤
yick
it's named after the protagonist Alex Yiik
@@madjack1748 Alex Yiik who lives in Yiiktown
"It's like I was having a dread omelet. With anxiety on the side."
And a side order of harsh browns.
I thought they said society instead of anxiety and laughed for 3 mins straight
1:28 "I'm Alex YIIK."
"Stop calling him that!"
*Spoiler:* He doesn't
Alex yiik is the best name of any fictional character ever
Editor's note: He was in fact, Alex Yiik.
@@elfertrn idk i kinda like "not important" from hatred
alex yiik is a very close second
Yiik playthrough is 80% “hey you know this game gets too much shit it actually has pretty good ____” just to be proven wrong right after saying that lmao
"dont you dare find good things in a bad thing"
Erm ok so that just happened
@@jimnaborsiswaycool6863 “don’t you dare criticize a bad game”
@@jimnaborsiswaycool6863
Aw man you seem like a true gamer
Never has a game been so terrible yet so interesting. Its like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
Reeeaaaally slow motion
Considering all the grinding they did offscrean its practically bullet time
Imagine if Earthbound was annoying? That's Yiik.
@@Harmonica821 Yeh. It’s basically earthbound without the charm and funny writing…with a lot more grinding and filler text. The music is pretty good thou
It's like watching a train wreck
🎵Vibratiiiiing with motioooooon🎵
It's feels like he played Persona and thought "ye that was kinda cool, nice try Japan. Let me show you how its done."
Given that the game also got him tangled in a myriad of plagiarism allegations, I don't doubt it.
@@spooderlover3512 haha really? Ffs
Persona? No, this is more like Earthbound. I don’t see much Persona influence here.
This game feels like they wanted to combine Earthbound and Persona together but instantly fails by having the main character talk
@@bababobo5067 I think whichever you're more familiar with you'll see more of
Julian is adorable and a lot funnier than he gives himself credit for, the "Chris, you're not Irish" was perfectly delivered
That was his revenge for the "I'm just kidding Julian, your not gay." Joke Chris made a while ago.
He seems more confident with his humour these days, super nice to see
It was so obvious though. I didn't even have to think about what he would have said there.
He’s a cutie too
i still laugh a lot at "he tooook the bath"
I love when Chris jokingly says "Kiss Rory", it appears as an option and he's so conflicted because he didn't expect to get that far
That was Ding Dong that said it.
Alex Yiik is the most likeable video game protagonist of all time.
He’s in YIIK, and he loves it. You gotta respect that.
Second to black baby
"Mom PLEASE can we play more yiik PLEASE"
Oh please mommie!! Oh please oh pleeaaase!!
Oh I didn't know you watched the funny boys too
Im sad they never posted the finale
Instead of going from liking to hating Alex Yiik over the games course, Chris just went from hating him at the beginning to absolutely despising him in the middle for him not even bothering to look at the cover of the record
Fun fact: The voice of Rory, YuriofWind refused to play this game cause he even knows howw awful it was and wants to be friends with Chris.
Maybe Chris *can* finally kiss Rory.
Based rory
I was wondering what the hell he was doing in this game
Holy shit, YURI voiced Rory? Sheesh, this is starting to remind me of... practically every big name TH-cam VA in Hunt Down The Freeman.
Oh shit, I didn't know it was actually YuriofWind. I always thought he just sounded similar to me.
Honestly they’re probably the most positive content creators I’ve seen talk about this game despite all the shittyness. It’s important to recognize things that could’ve been at least decent if the creator just had more self awareness, instead of just calling everything as a whole a complete waste. Also useful for other people who want to make their own RPG, to see what actually could’ve worked and learn from YIIK’s mistakes.
not only do you feel the same way that i do about yiik, but you are also a bionicle fan. noice
@@TheFuzzyOcelot oh shit I just realised the profile pic
Running Shine's incredible 2 hour long review of Yiik goes for a more level-headed approach of dissecting how each thing went wrong and could be fixed that reminds me a lot of how these guys discuss it. Def recommend it if you've got the time
Mans literally self inserted as a mc, tried to make earthbound, then blamed gamers for making a bad game. There's a LOT to unpack
@@johnstamos5948 It comes off as a self insert only unintentionally due to how the guy responded to criticsm.
The alex yiik character is really supposed to be an unlikable loser, you can tell from the writing, i mean in the letsplay alone he got nagged about the fact he has a college degree but no job 10 times, considering he could easily get one if he stopped being an entitled neet
I don't think Ding Dong wanted anything more in his life than for Alex to kiss Rory. I wish I was capable of that level of excitement.
I just realized how weird it is for a guy to arrive in his hometown on April 4th after graduating college. It's too late for him to be done with fall/winter semester, but too early to be done with spring
The moral of that Bible story being an extremely irritated DON'T TRUST ANYBODY is absolutely killing me
If it were in the bible it would make sense considering how contradictory the damn thing is.
I myself am a Christian and that moment was hilarious.
@@bayardkyyako7427 well I notice how Bible was there to stop the Yiikocalypse and Bayard Kyyako wasn’t. Maybe practice what you preach
@@whosey2807 I do, the bible is more of a threat than yiik is
@@bayardkyyako7427 cringe atheist
Love how much sassier Julian has become. You can’t beat this trio
The pompadour is getting to his head
@@jaden_bricker Proper character development
@@McDoinky reflected in his character design, even
The sentence “The World of YIIK™️ is mine to Reap” constantly bounces around in my head
Did Oney seriously predict the ending of the game with that one line?
Oneyplays made 1000s of idiots want to play yiik and I’m one of them
Its me, Im idiot
After 10 minutes of starting the game you ask yourself "Wait where's the funny commentary?".
2 hours later you're doubled over crying, begging Alex Yiik to shut up.
It’s appealing until you realize how much off screen grinding had to be done
i emulated it on swatch and couldn't get past finding the cat it was so boring
This game has been a gem for creating brilliant moments.
i love the alex yiik screaming everytime he clutches his head, which was all the time
4:00 “peter do you realise what this means, our sister brian griffin is dead!”
I expected them to scream like high pitched girls when they see Kiss Rory option.
6:12
....why is that an option in the first place?
@@ijustlikebeesfor the funee
Yiikes, the postmodern hipsterism RPG. Also, ive never seen someone hyping so much on being able to kiss Rory lmao
...It's meant to be a dive on hipsterism by the way. I know people are unusually stupid at noticing things but this game has never glorified hipsters.
@@mbsb1376 You good, my guy?
If I had to play it getting the opportunity to lock lips with yuriofwind would be the one brightside to the whole game- sucks that you can't but a Rory-based moral system thing is also good, actually the whole game should be about Rory or whatever- there's a furry flash game about having a being stuck with a cat furry, and you have the option to be his friend, lover, or abuser depending on your choices- that is a game that i would play. It could also be like that one old new grounds game about brainwashing a girl you kidnapped- I would also be happy with a game where you do that to him, or even just a soft fluffy thing.
Fuck I'm a g oddamn Rory simp
@@runeanonymous9760 relax he isn't real and he won't come out of your computer screen either, besides HIS SISTER IS FUCKING DEAD!
@@mbsb1376 bruh you type like a hipster
I actually couldn't breathe for a bit after the "No one cares about your sister right now"
They never realized they could have killed the crow in the beginning of the game and collect their crow rewards.
Does that even have a purpose? What can the crow feathers do?
@@GottaFistDemAll Well it actuall drops ammo for later in the game when Alex fights off the evil residents of his home town. Kinda weird considering its used so late in the game and the only time he uses a gun.
@@alone2260 ALEX GETS A GUN?!
@@DakkaSolae Oh yeah, it's the final act of the game. He takes vengence upon all of Frankton for making him get a job. Pretty avant garde.
@@End3rDJgaming And his mother for making him get groceries.
How has The Old Man And The Wench not been animated yet?
Nice Planet 9 pfp, don't see that too often
@Stellvia Hoenheim fear the evil tax collector
I never get tired of seeing Alex Yiik's mouth flap, vibrating with motion.
I like to imagine Ding Dong jumping up and grabbing Chris by the collar while shaking him as he shouts "DO IT" over and over again over the Kiss Rory option.
The one moment at the beginning of ep 10 where some enemy attacks Rory and they say that genuine "don't hurt him, he's Rory- NO!!!!" kills me
I have to admit, I was actually somewhat Unironically enjoying the bits of YIIK where Alex and the group are...being friendly with eachother. Just having conversations, getting close, even when it's weird and clunky- I can buy (to some degree) that these people like eachother. Even how the others all sort of bond over mutual frustration with Alex, all laughing at him together as he begrudgingly takes it- makes him feel less obnoxious. It was at its best when they were driving around together in Claudio's van, searching for the android- Just sorta...palling around over a mutual interest, having a little fun while they were at it. (Also I was happy that Rory was still alive, and being included. I like him)
It's a shame that the bit with the Essentia where she *never shuts up for seven hours straight* comes right after that and just knocks it all down
@@PeachBoi_Real what?
@@neighandwhinnymchorse2100 to this day no one understands what they meant.
I can kinda agree with that. If the dialog wasn't ass and the characters had more depth than "HEY GUYS DID YOU KNOW I LIKE ANIME?!"
"WHAT I LIKE ANIME TOO!"
"WELL I LIKE ANIME SO MUCH THAT IT'S 50% OF MY ENTIRE CHARACTER!"
"GUYS, GUESS WHAT!"
"WHAT?"
"I LIKE VIDEOGAMES"
"WAAAAAAAH?!"
"I'M GOING TO LIST ALL OF MY FAVORITE GAMES!"
(Meanwhile Alex is monologuing) "I wonder if he likes video games......"
@@kingcyclops4079 hah! To be fair, that's mostly a Claudio thing. But like, he and Chondra have that contrast where he can't get over his brother, and Chondra desperately wants to get over it and not let it define her. And they try something with Vella, with her mind dungeon and the whole performance anxiety/exploitation thing. Michael... Michael isn't much. But, Rory is fun- he's weird, and he seems to really want attention but in an earnest sorta "I'm just lonely" way, and like...
...listen I never said it was *great.* I'm not pretending here. You're absolutely right in that most of them can be boiled down to having one "thing" which they just state outright.
All I'm saying is that they were shaping up to be a real Scooby Gang before the game got back to Yiiking us around.
@@neighandwhinnymchorse2100
I think Yiik could've easily been a little better if they had just introduced the destruction of reality thing earlier in the game instead of at the end. Because for most of it Alex is just searching for Sammy, a girl he doesn't even know much about, while everyone else tags along. Rory and Michael don't have much of a motivation to want to stick around Alex nor does Claudio really and Chondra doesn't want to be there at all. If they had established that reality would end by Yiik then it would've made some sense why'd they'd follow Alex. Another easy fix is just have Alex and Sammy be friends or lovers by the start of the story, gives Alex motivation to look for her instead of just "oh I kinda feel bad that I couldn't help her" as if he'd care about some stranger he just met and didn't even had a good reaction with.
"Some fat Irish guy is yelling at me"
"Chris, you're not Irish"
That "shut up!" Ding Dong did at 1:01 sounded exactly like Zach.
Same voice actor
I remember how every other content creator trash this game for being unbearable but I would like to thank this playthrough to make this one of my best bad games I've ever seen
"I love bein in YIIK!" Alex Yiik
Some of my favorites that didn't make it in:
"Put Buzz Lightyear on his face"
"That was the android I saw in my dreams!"
"NO IT WASN'T"
"There were big scary men with machetes and normally those aren't out at night, so it's kind of suspicious... Also Alex tried to kiss me."
"He didn't look at the cover?! I hate Alex."
"NOW?!"
"Oh Chris, you're not Irish" is the sickest burn Julian has ever made and I'm sad Chris and Ding Ding didnt notice, but at the same time it makes it funnier
"The world of YIIK is mine to reap"
- God
and theres still more to be had~
4:20 Chris’s favorite Bible story
"Chris... you're not Irish..."
-Julian
As a yuriofwind fan with no prior knowledge of this game, 3:46 threw me for a loop
Why is hearing "Alex YIIK" so funny?
Cuz kirboavor made super Mario rpg song
It's the fact you have to pronounce two long "e" sounds in a row
The Big YIIK Tournament would consist of contestants having to run an obstacle course to be the first to reach and kiss someone dressed as Rory
The voice acting for this game is incredible
Incredibly yiik
The game of YIIK, it make me squeak, when they upload more I must shriek
I love YIIK, it makes me shriek, it also makes my peepee leak
6:09 now you're learning, understanding, finally you're becoming human
The "dread omelette" line was really good
YUP, BASICALLY THIS.
1:40 I think it symbolized freedom from Hell.
That dumb Chris quote always comes to mind when someone says "symbolizes"
This game would have been great, if it wasn’t freaking terrible.
I honestly thought the last one was going to be the end. I wouldn't of blamed them really.
Im so surprised the "chondra cmon we have to go" "claudio whatre we doing here man"
4:05 Yeah, thats about the time where I gave up on Alex and saw he couldn't be redeemed. Glad to see them react the same way I did.
I'm sure the best moments are just the series in its entirety
This is easily one of their best let's plays.
Seriously, is anything comparable to this from them?
I love that even though the crow says it’s pronounced why-two-Kay Chris still pronounces it as yick (rightfully so)
6:11 *_-K I S S R O R Y-_*
Alex’s va is famous Newgrounds user Kirbopher
And sex offender, apparently
"There's an alternate Alex running around kissing people! We gotta investigate this guys!"
I love DingDong's humor
The old man and the wench is my favorite, besides kiss rory
I love Alex YIIK almost as much as motifa
Yiik is The Room of video games.
Why-Too-Kay: The Pretentious Are-Pee-Jee
Many thigh slappers from The Stink, The Long and the Meat
I genuinely am thinking about playing this game. I know the comparison is overused, but this really feels like the gaming industrys version of the Room. The people who made it genuinely thought they were making something great and it ends up being unintentionally hilarious and enjoyable in ways the creators did not intend.
"Why does it keep glitching at the worst part of the game?!"
How can you even tell which part is the *worst* part of this trainwreck?
“Would you...
Recommend drinking *chunky soda* ?”
When the first episode started, and the opening screen with the crow started, I was not prepared for this journey…
Does anyone know which episode he says "NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR DEAD SISTER" ?
If you are referring to Alex, he says it during the episode "We're just lovin' STINKTOWN in YIIK: A POST-MODERN RPG - PART 12" at 17:54.
they actually say it constantly throughout the series, it's one of the first things they say
MARGE, MY YIIKING OUT!
3:35 is my favorite moment by far
"The YIIK tournament is coming up!"
Plot twist: this game is the funny.
My favourite part of yik was when ding dong yelled “there’s a bomb”
6:11 me and my GHaY DeMon arguing.
My favorite is where Chris talks as the crow just kills me
April 4th 1999 was a Sunday, so Chris was getting washed up for school the next day
lol at "so far". unfortunately that ending is never coming.
DingDong's laugh is contagious, I love it so much
Its gonna genuinely upset me when OneyPlays finally uploads YIIK (Complete series)
this game would have been perfect and truly post modern if they just gave alex a glock half way through the game
"This is where my sister died Alex"
Alex Yiik:
I've made my peace with this LP being abandoned right at the end, but I am absolutely losing my gourd waiting for Yiik I.V
Alex YIIK is my favorite series right now, I don't know why, but is like a guilty pleasure, I love the game, I love how bad it is, because without that they will be no making fun, but at the same time praising the game all the time in their series.
I love how they hate the characters, but at the same time they like how bad written they are, how the incredible painful writing make them go crazy, but they just put their own ideas that just make simpler the plot. I think this game is amazing, tons of people just make it look bad, but in reality, is a bad game that if you play it to serious you just gonna take all the fun you could get from it.
Better than the new formula, "Take all from the start, don't struggle with any of the game just complete it without any feeling of accomplishment", also i never see someone been harsh to Hades, that game have a fun mechanic and gameplay, but the writing is even worse than Alex YIIK.
... That's because people actually enjoy Hades's writing, however much you personally dislike it. And nobody actually enjoys YIIK's pretentious writing except ironically and for luls.
I'm all for being slightly less harsh on the game out of sympathy for the creator but you are giving it far too much credit. It's still a *full price* game that is genuinely a massive slog to play through. The writing isn't always 'so bad it's funny', I promise you, it's actually just excruciatingly boring and stupidly long 80% of the time without the funny commentary.
@@cocoapixels I know but that grow up in me, as I say is a guilty pleasure, I know is just awfully bad in many ways, but there is not day that I say "Hope Oneyplays upload Alex YIIK today" and I really think because of that is amazing even if that wasn't the intention.
In case of Hades I was really into the game and I enjoy it, but after reaching the goal what follow next didn't catch me to ever play it again, as a person that love Greek Mythology (I was horrified with the writing of a cheap bad sitcom). So it hits me harder.
Is a really good game don't get me wrong, but damn, a lazy fan fiction can do a better work, the quality was so far away there.
YIIK is what i SIIK!
Yuriofwind was such a weird casting choice for Rory.
Its so amazing lmaooo
hello guys it's me, Alex Yiik. please enjoy my metrosexual haircut and plaid shirt!
I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually stopped playing yiik at the end. The game is just atrocious.
in one of their digimon videos I'm pretty sure they said they finished it so I think we'll be seeing it through to the end but I might also just be getting my hopes up
Funny enough, I looked up a Yiik compilation a week ago, one day before this was released.
The Bible is a revolutionary technology indeed
Why can't I see people talking about bald Prince Eric?
I feel sad that you didn't include "I am a genius!"
As someone who's very familiar with YIIK's shortcomings I wasn't going to watch this. Although, judging by these highlights and comments this sounds like a good series to play in the background as I work. Thanks for shedding some light on this!
3/16/22 Update: Came across this vid again and I cannot recommend this series enough for background noise. Just coherent enough to laugh at while not being at all distracting (even with ADHD!)
The game about Phil Fish, Chris Chan, Ramona Flowers and George Floyd´s sons fighting against a golden sheep
Hah Ramona Flowers and George Floyd's sons 😂😂😂
