Hello! I'm back from a little break. Had to focus on other things for a while :) - Sorry for the microphone quality on some of the upcoming videos! I have switched to a new one and I'm still adjusting the audio filters. This is getting better everyday and should be sorted within a week or so. Thank you for your patience and I hope you enjoy the content! Have a great day /TMM
The "im not gonna sugarcoat it" thing's joke is that he busts out his serious big boy attack and the crowd is like DAAAAMN like "he really did it!" but it gets repeated while he spams the attack as if it's just as impressive the 7th time as it was the first time. The meme also covers the screen obscuring the move, as if you don't even need to see the game to know what move he's doing. The DAAAAMN becomes obnoxious after hearing it so many times which is a reference to how obnoxious it is to get hit by the move several times.
@Baby gimme Feet It's about contrasting the coolness of a sick kazuya death combo with the reality that he's doing the same move 5 times over with shitty Nokia phone audio quality with a vine boom sound effect
@Baby gimme Feet It's not really a punch line, more like a catch phrase. But as with catch phrases where they lose their luster after doing it several times, so does it when you spam the strong move. So it's more of a commentary on the move itself, expressed through an absurdist meme. Repeating the same catch phrase will become progressively more absurd the more times you say it, similar to how hitting someone with the same move becomes progressively more absurd. So it's not so much the phrase "I'm not gonna sugar coat it" that's funny, but rather it points out the absurdity of the the gameplay by exaggerating it. You could do the same thing by adding a BONK sound for every time someone gets hit by a low, for example, except "I'm not gonna sugar coat it" also implies it's a very strong move being performed by a certified tough guy.
@Baby gimme Feet It also reminds me of when justin wong spammed rockets at a literal child in mortal kombat and said "THIS IS THE REAL WORLD KID, YOU GOTTA LEARN" lmao
The sugarcoat meme origin was a video of Kazuya doing a touch of death from ch df2, each EWGF and slaughter hook had the video cut to the sugarcoat image for a split second with a vine thud sound effect. The video was in 144p and the Kazuya was naked. The joke was the absolute absurdity of the video and the repetition of EWGF within it. Then people started making alternate versions of it, none as funny as the original
Watching main man say hes too old to understand always has me laughing lmaooo. It could also be cause he doesnt live in america but theres so many references and memes he doesnt get and its like endearing almost lol.
"I'm Not Gonna Sugarcoat It is a catchphrase used in memes about the fighting game Tekken, predominantly associated with the character Kazuya Mishima saying it before his "Rage Drive" combo. In video memes referencing it, Vine Boom sound effects and the Bye Felicia "Damn!" sound effect from the 1995 movie Friday are typically used alongside the phrase. The trend started on Twitter in mid-2022 and later became notable on TH-cam."
Alright I know this video is a month old but let me attempt to explain the "I'm not gonna sugarcoat it" meme, as it is suprisingly complex. If we analyze the meme we can break it down into two main distinct parts, the first one are the sound effects, and the second part is the image itself that flashes on the screen. But first, before we explore the sound effects we must first understand the concept of "postmodern" humor (yes, really). The main idea of "postmodern" humor, specifically is memes, is that of irony and the subversion of expectations, of taking what's no longer funny and "necromancing" it into humor once more. If we analyze the basic structure of a joke, we find ourselves with a setup and a punchline, most of the time, the humor comes by subverting expectations and surprising the spectator with something contextually unusual. The main concept behind "postmodern" humor is to turn that upside down by estabilishing that by knowing that they're hearing a joke, the spectator is subconsciously aware of the subversion of the punchline, and therefore, that is no longer subversive. To solve this, it proposes that instead of subverting, the joke teller must instead give the most obvious answer to the setup and, ironically, subverting the spectator's expectations. A classic example of this is the joke: "Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side!" It's funny because it isn't funny. Now back to the meme, the first part (the sound) consists of two main sound effects, a royalty-free dramatic "thud" sound effect, commonly known as "vine boom sound effect", and the sound of a clip from the movie Friday (1995) featuring popular sellout Ice Cube and Chris Tucker. Both of these clips were extremely popular in the early 10's internet, used in numerous memes and videos, however because of their popularity and the way memes usually circulate, their once humorous association turned "overused" and "unfunny", what was once funny became unfunny. From that, and taking context into account, we can conclude that the usage of the sound effects is that of ironic nature, taking dead memes and raising them from the dead to become funny again, specifically because they're no longer funny. Now onto the second part (we're almost there I promise). This has multiple interpretations. The first is that the image takes on a more common joke structure, it is merely contrasting the serious, threatening phrase "I'm not gonna sugarcoat it" with the simple, innoffensive action of pressing a button in a videogame, subverting your expectation in a traditional joke manner. Another interpretation is that the image is a parody of edgy internet posts, this is supported by things like the font, the serious picture of a character (Kazuya, in the case of the original), and the background. A more fringe interpretation is that the meme attempts to satirize individuals commonly referred to as "tryhards", basically saying: "They present themselves in such serious fashion yet all they're doing is pressing buttons", though this last one seems the most unlikely. I hope this assisted your comprehension of the meme in question and also helps you interpret other "zoomer jokes" you might find in the future.
Bro I literally got up from my cozy ass bed to my pc to thank you for this. I understand postmodern humor and irony posting but didnt understand the actual meme itself and you did a great job explaining this form of humor in a relatively concise few paragraphs, I commend you.
The "Im not gonna sugarcoat it" meme originates from kazuyas ewgf I think. Kazuya uses pewgf in the tekken 8 trailer, not sugarcoating what you actually play him like
It's funny how everyone in the comments are as baffled as me about the "sugar coat meme". I thought it originated w/ mainman's take on him always try harding even against less experienced opponents. I think it was on a video against him and riddles if i'm not mistaken.
1:31 - that hurt a lot... xD but thats true, I started playing Tekken less than 2 months ago and I had to learn the hard way that Yoshi is kind of weak in comparison with some characters that perform great even when u just bash all the buttons randomly
"I'm not gonna sugercoat it" is partially poking fun at Kazuya players who take themselves too seriously, it's kind of like the player is saying "look at me doing all these EWGF, are you mad? Can you handle this?" It probably comes from people saying "I'm not gonna sugercoat it, [insert edgy opinion here]" similar to the crowd that says "I care about facts over feelings" or like "sorry Christians, your God isn't real". Except in this case the meme is, instead of some hot take, it's literally just a bunch of EWGFs. As if the move itself is supposed to make a statement.
You were visibly confused, upset and spent tremendous amounts of effort in an attempt to make yourself not enjoy this experience. Which was in vain, naturally - in the end you very much did. All went according to keikaku. (keikaku means "plan")
@@rurounijay7100 she stole back her mothers sword from yoshi, in her presentation video when yoshi wakes up he realizes that his sword is gone thats why when she says "interesting weapon you have there" yoshi inmediatly pulls away his sword xD
I understand this meme as that. People say many complex flow chart to win, but someone comes in says he wont sugar coat it and will say "spam this(input) to win"
@@krazyfinndude666 Basically the kazuya in the original meme was flexing on his opponent by doing a hard ass combo on him that does a shit ton of damage. The whole "Im not going to sugar coat it" is basically saying "I'm a beast at this game, so Im going to stunt on your ass with no mercy". They flash it everytime kazuya electrics because its a hard ass input to do consistently. Pretty much the meme is for whenever you punish your opponent with something thats really hard to do that fucks them up hard
@@wintergloom5695 then if we didnt have yoshi we would be saved from both a cancerous experience and you being part of the community! win win if he goes
@@wintergloom5695 "learn the match up" is scrub translation for "I have to put in a 5th of the work you do XD, but I can just dismiss anything you say with this." stay mad, your character is a sad meme. wild

Yoshi main here, can confirm that this is exactly what it's like playing Yoshi. The amount of people I play who need a Rage Quit S+ stat is mad.
they quit even after winning, thats how we suffer.
As a Yoshi main I can confirm when two Yoshi meet online there will be a meeting/greeting dance of some sort, its great.

This taught me that blocking isnt needed I just need to do more moves
Ahh MainMan can't comprehend the meme, I think we gotta sugarcoat it
he missed so many jokes lmao

7:50
Main man dont suger coat his hate on characters he hates😂😂
Mainman not understanding the "Im not gonna sugarcoat it meme" reminds me to the Fishsticks and kanye west
The dayum part is from a movie called Friday with ice cube and Chris tucker. It’s a black comedy.
Since you don't get the "im not gonna sugar coat it" meme, its like: want a free win? Im not gonna sugar coat it (metaphor) but (input)
its just fast and repeats because gen z
would love to see main man play some yoshimitsu
4:39 that was Virgil’s theme from devil may cry I think. It’s called “bury the light”
YES!
hoping tmm plays the dmc games some day
If i had to guess, "I'm not gonna sugarcoat it" with input is a reference to when you start with high damage attack/combos like EWGF
Inspired by eyemusician
I died on "Justice Crash" xDDDD

That's bury the light, the dmc 5 vergil song. Best video game song ever.

Just faught 7k Yoshi. I have to be drunk to beat him.
Im not gonna sugarcoat it lmao I first saw that meme with the ewgf input
"im not gonna sugarcoat it" is basically not sugarcoating the fight and using your most powerful moves/combos over and over again.
There are two types of Yoshi...
The crazy clown fiesta type
And the Yoshis that want to win
The first is "funny", the second can be VERY dangerous
Fuck me, he is like the Arsenalty of Yoshis XD

5:46 how did he do those intro animations?
1:31 - that hurt a lot... xD but thats true, I started playing Tekken less than 2 months ago and I had to learn the hard way that Yoshi is kind of weak in comparison with some characters that perform great even when u just bash all the buttons randomly

Do Yoshi players ever block?
