That Splatoon shirt reveal got me cackling lmaoo. Imagine being the one translating thinking they'll get an interesting Easter egg then just getting a "fuck you."
I like to imagine they were excited as they started translating, but two letters in just stopped. “Let’s see, that’s an F… U… I see where this is going.”
It's like that scene in Breaking Bad with Hector
How did it take 5 years? Written down in the non stylized langagure it still looks like fuck you.
CaCkLinG
You:😐
@@Terratetradon bro is mad at word choice
what are you, a middle school english teacher?
According to Guru Larry, the person that wrote all that stuff about Matt Duncan was.....Matt Duncan. Yes, he apparently took selfdeprecation to a new level.
I dunno, he kinda seems like my spirit animal. I used to to this as well when I'd be fixing my own bugs and wondering how the hell I let such a stupid thing slip by me. Anyone else going over the code must have been confused.
I hear the echo of Stamper screaming "FIRE MATT IMMEDIATELY" in the back of my head.
AND HIS BALLS EVISCERATED
Matt Duncan on himself.
@@sirflimflam know that feeling all too well despite not being a programmer.
The "I like monkeys" story was an old joke from the 90's that used to get circulated in emails and blogs. Weird for it to show up in these games, but they didn't make it up.
i had a feeling it was an old copypasta, it certainly had that vibe as i was listening to the summary lol
It actually shows up In multiple games one being conkors pocket tales
Yep, came here to say this. I remember stealing it for my Angelfire page back in 1997. It was all over the place.
I knew it sounded familiar! I think I heard it in a Guru Larry video once.
Was gonna say! The second he started reading it I was like "OH THAT'S THAT OLD COPYPASTA FROM THE 90S BEFORE THEY WERE CALLED COPYPASTAS!!!" I haven't seen it or thought about it in decades. Wild.
Imagining Hello Neighbor being any form of mature with its current state is near impossible.
I'm surprised nobody has modded it back in
That game is genuinely the worst I've ever played in my life, it's insane how poorly made it was. The puzzles made genuinely no sense and the controls were nightmarish.
How did it get merchandise again? @@Shapio
@@1Hol1TigerKids love mascot horror. We live in the horror game dark ages. You either make a low effort mascot horror to pander to kids, or you make a Phasmophobia clone
@@1Hol1Tiger Not just Merch, it has a prequel, sequel, Dead-By-Daylight/Among Us ripoff, a VR Spinoff, a pre-alpha demo called Hello Guest, a Bendy & the Ink Machine crossover demo, all of the original alphas (all of which are better than the final release), an animated TH-cam series, a (previously Stadia exclusive) TrailMakers/Lego car building ripoff, a region-locked mobile game and SEVEN NOVELS.
I genuinely don't know anybody that cares about this series at all anymore. Who in the world is buying this merch and these horrible spinoff/ripoff games and who's buying the novels!?
At a guess, all those lines of text in Spider-man are joke error messages to inform play-testers something has bugged out. "Something is wrong in the state of Denmark" is a Shakespeare reference: the real line is "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" and it's from Hamlet, act 1, scene 4.
thanks, just wanted to mention it ;)
They were Matt Duncan making fun of himself.
Actually, that's a reference to the scene from _Last Action Hero_ where Arnold Schwarzenegger is imagined in a parody of Hamlet.
th-cam.com/video/YNcN5f3vwro/w-d-xo.html
@@TimedRevolver Almost certainly, heh.
@@Lobsterwithinternet damn good catch, lol!
I love how at 4:05 oddheader says "it copies the mind of a mysterious dude" to not spoil that it's Meta Knight, but the part about copying minds is a greater spoiler than the fact it is Meta Knight lmao
Damn, you just spoiled the whole game to me 😫
(jk)
I don't think Meta Knight's actions made the world evil. It started before he arrived I believe.
I've never Meta Knight 🥂
I do believe that the "depressed diary entry" in the Minnie & friends files is an excerpt of Osamu Dazai's book "No Longer Human"
Have you read it before? How is it?
@@willowtree3305 I have!
It's a very naked and unfiltered tale about the upbringing and life of a misanthrope. It has some very touchy subjects, but I do fully recommend.
According to Slope's Game Room, the "Fire Matt" notes in Spider-Man (PS1) were written by Matt himself, about himself. Guess he's the type to self-deprecate, when he's frustrated with work.
Search for 'Neversoft Kickflip Contest'. There he is failing miserably at skateboarding, and he knows it. But seems to care little enough that he lost $200 for losing in the contest.
I am not surprised someone working on something Disney related lost faith in humanity lol
Or just lost faith in the movie industry.
Disney + Japanese work culture make most people lost humanity
Other way around, disney makes people lose faith.
Woke, racist and ignorant company brainwashing kid.
"Something's rotten in the state of Denmark" is a quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet, I think the developer was referencing that quote.
Educated
That's about what I thought it was.
Those voice lines for hello neighbor would make the game actually worth playing.
Yeah MAYBE...
Someone should mod them in the game
I'm surprised that finding those assets didn't result in the ESRB rating getting raised. You could easily mod the game to use them as part of the game.
I mean, that's what happened to Rockstar with GTA San Andreas, when people released a huge patch file that reintegrated the "hot coffee" content which was cut from the game. They got forced to slap an Adults Only rating on the game completely because of that cut content that was entirely inaccessible without the mod.
I doubt some gratuitous profanity would make the game better, if wanna hear no-no words, you can watch an AVGN episode for free.
I think paying someone to play that dog crap wouldn't be enough to play it
I didn't notice the bodies in the Snail Bob camo texture until it was pointed out. I'm guessing they just found a random camo texture that someone else made, didn't notice either, and purchased it.
A lot of weird texture and audio easter eggs like these happen because a developer bought a pack 2nd-hand without thoroughly checking its contents. :P
I tried but I'm not seeing them. I'll have to look up something that points them out like that I guess
Took me a bit, but I think I found 2 things. Maybe it's one of those "just happens to look like" things.
I can’t see them
@@runwithsmfd3518same
This is 100% a case of pareidolia and not actual "dirty images". Ridiculous that it was featured at all.
The kirby death screen is actually a lot weirder than translated in the video. げだつ actually translates to "liberation from earthly desires and the woes of man" or "deliverance of one's soul", concepts from Buddhism. ポア isn't just any death, but "transference of consciousness at the time of death", and when looking it up you mostly only get pages in reference to the Aum Shinrikyou doomsday cult.
RIP lol
Not to far off from modern kirby lore
I've heard about this Aum Shinrikyō thing making appearances in other games too. Funny enough, the same guy who made Hong Kong 97 also made a game where you play as some sort of cult leader, probably in reference to the Aum Shinrikyō.
The Amazing Mirror one was probably a placeholder image for an unused bad ending you'd get if you didn't 100% the game. Some Kirby games have really dark endings if you don't do everything although they usually rely more on implications & not just straight up showing a dead character.
It looks like he fell over and smushed a cake or tomato.
It also just reuses the pause screen for everything other then the image, so I'd assume it's actually just some test image or placeholder that someone made and just forgot to remove it
Didn't one of the games actually have an eye enemy that bled?
@@mattwolf7698Dreamland 3
@@mattwolf7698 It wasn't a normal enemy, it was the secret final boss of Kirby's Dream Land 3 ( and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)
The I like monkeys story was probably added as padding so the compiled binary was exactly the size it needed to be. In fact, you can blame a lot of these weird sorts of additions for that.
Quite likely, didn't think of that at first. Early disc consoles often had CRC checks implemented as a safety measure. CD burners back then sometimes having bad error correction when copying discs which made the games unplayable because one wrong 0/1 causes the checksum to fail.
That said, I agree on them at least being a little creative with the artificial bloating - you see big zero-only dump files far to often in these games.
@@5alpha23interesting, too, as it gives me creepypasta/copypasta energy, like it spread randomly on the Internet back then or earlier
@@ChrisPoindexter98it was an old email that would circulate. So yeah, basically early copypasta
Hello Neighbour is a game that should never have been discovered...
Most shocking discoveries that were found in the steam store
@@JrIcifyI saw a game called Pussy 2 in there once, but I never saw Pussy 1.
Even the clips used in this video were buggy 😂
The old Alphas were way better and more scarier, the final game is trash
Oddheader makes me feel like im 11 again and just found out what easter eggs are
And watching normalboots and others top10 lists about games.
Jesus, I've never heard a better description of it than that.
Those Hello Neighbor swear sounds are actually heard in the game's prototype trailer from 2016, and I think in the alphas as well, this was back when the game was actually good and was going to be a much darker and scarier game, it honestly sucks what the final game turned out to be
It's crazy how some of these easter eggs get through into the world
They rarely do though. These, almost, all were not naturally found; they were dug up in the files. Most of them also don't have any way to see or hear them in game. They didn't make it out into the world, they were excavated from the places they were left buried in.
The Kirby's Amazing Mirror one is actually an Aum Shinrikyo Cult reference. Ugh..
げだつ＝解脱＝Liberation
ポア＝The Aum Shinrikyo's secret word meaning "Execution"
So it basically means Kirby being killed by Aum Shinri Kyo.
Rare Kirby L
Woah, I was confused by the Japanese at first, didn't know about the Aum connection, that's dark
@@HasekuraIsuna how is it dark?
@@idkmanwoahAum Shinrikyo was a cult that did two terrorist attacks (both combined caused 21 deaths) and killed a lot of their own members in inhumane ways in “rituals” and “trials” iirc. And that’s only the death-related stuff they did...
The thought of Kirby being killed by them isn’t a pleasant thought in the slightest.
@@protocol72 ahh I see, Ty for explaining!
It's a pretty basic easter egg compared to some things on this list but I always loved how in Commander Keen IV, in the level 'Pyramid of the Moons', then if you stand over a moon rock and don't press anything, Keen will 'moon' the player.
Funny thing about the Working Designs translations is that the shipped translations may have been the “clean version”. I remember the Lunar 2 demo disk that came with another one of their games, Vanguard Bandits, had different dialogue. An example would be the dialogue an npc for the hot springs section of the game where he separated the party into their respective rooms by saying bouncies on the left and danglies on the right. This was missing in the final release to something generic, I can’t remember off the top of my head. You could also view the FMVs of any PS1 game by loading up the special behind the scenes disk in Lunar 2 and swapping discs when the video played.
@@k.w.6626Come on! The weed joke was gold. Without the surfer bum dialogue, Bonaire would have been another forgettable NPC. Alundra is also really easy even with all the difficulty buffs Working Designs added. You can beat the final boss in no time simply by spamming the Fire Spell over and over.
I LIKED Working Designs and their cheekyness. Those jokes don't hold up? I laughed out loud.... just now! :)
@@JABS991I agree, they added a ton of charm to their games that I miss. I mean, they had a boxing puppet as a preorder bonus!
It’s always a day when oddheader uploads.
But seriously you do an amazing job for not repeating any Easter eggs.
its always a day
@@shmovinnn I agree, each time Oddheader uploads it happens to also be a day. someone should investigate this phenomena.
oh no, people are unironically starting to remove adjectives. the joke is that the "good" is missing when people are talking about Morbius and other bad movies
i swear he already covered the splatoon 2 one tho-
It’s always a day no matter what lol 🤦🏻♂️
4:20 After doing some digging on the cutting room floor I was able to find out that this screen is only in the prototype version of the game and it could be correlated with a scrapped ghost ability which later appeared in Squeak Squad. However in the final a Game Over only occurs in the boss endurance as running out of lives in the base game just boots you back to the hub and that's it.
The snail game "discovery" definitely just looks like a case of pareidolia to me. You're seeing something that isn't actually there.
I had to look for quite a while but the light green "shape" in top left corner really looks like person... uh.. inviting another. And it appears multiple times, just with different colors, so I don't think this isn't deliberate
@@JM-dq7xn It's much more obvious once you ignore the tan and brown, and realize that the light green are women, and dark green are men you'll suddenly see very obvious sex positions.
@@cxx23oohhhh, I see it now. In the middle is a 69 with the dark green head in the light green's crotch. In the top right, is cowgirl. That's definitely intentional.
5:40 "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" is a line from Hamlet!
Fact Hunt covered the spider man rants years ago
To satisfy anyone's curiosity the angry programmer asking for Matt to get kicked in the nuts was Matt himself writing it all apparrently
CBT enjoyer
Man it's been years I haven't watched Larry. I might check it out again someday
Somehow I don't think the Hello Neighbor guys are too worried about kids hearing voice lines that require cracking open the game's files, but maybe that's just me.
The camouflage made out of kamasutra positions is actually genius, hidden in plain sight and only noticeable if you take a closer look
6:34 I still don't see it...
Light green are women, dark green are men. There's a 69 in the middle of the screen, girl on top in the top right.
Honestly, "I Like Monkeys" feels like it could be an early copypasta.
Edit: apparently it is!
And you would be correct, it was.
A cursing neighbor from Hello Neighbor would honestly have made the game more entertaining.
These kid game discoveries are as shocking as the fact oddhead lives inside our walls and knows all of our secrets
Lol
he's in the walls.
HE'S IN THE GOD DAMN WALLS!
The Harkonnens hid him there six weeks ago. That's dedication.
Bro, you have no walls you live on TH-cam 💀
God I'm glad someone does, I can't remember shit.
8:23 Wait, is that THAT sound effect?
Yep
0:56 I wish I had a shirt like that lol
I loved Around the World in 80 Days as a kid. I had no idea it was a flop
Same! I would watch it on repeat.
I click so fast when new oddheader drops
Same
Me too, the notification popped up and I didn't even have to use my singular braincell, I simply pressed
i see red dot,i click red dot
Fun Fact: The "I LIke Monkeys" story is actually a classic internet copypasta dating all the way back to 1994.
bloody hilarious that hello neighbour is on this list, if youd told anyone around when it was first being developed that it would basically end up as a kiddie horror game only 1 in 10 people would have believed you
there are so many of these hilarious developer notes in the codes in games.. seems like game development can really drain your sanity sometimes 😂
This videos are so well made that they feel shorter that they are. A highlight of my week.
I work with a dev named Matt Duncan but there's NO way its the same person. Definitely caught my attention though
How are you so sure?
That "C'mere yah big F--k!" line from Hello Neighbour gets me every single time. Goodness, he just sounds SO fed up and through with your bull at that point.
I remember when they removed the Manor in Maplestory but I didn't know why. I never saw the photo mentioned though, weird.
They definitely did not remove the manor because of the one photo. They removed it because they redesigned the entire continent and decided it was an outdated area that they no longer needed. Also they wanted to use it for Halloween events.
3:15 LMAOOOOO
the urge overcomes the best of us
I thought we would be through all the juicy Easter eggs. Nice job community
Lol I actually knew about that last one from a Fact Hunt video from Larry Bundy Jr, back when it was actually informative.
I think he mentioned it was in the Hot Wheels game.
Pretty nice to know this was in about _three other games_
I think the Spider-Man/Matt Duncan one was also covered and the guy who wrote the comments was Matt Duncan himself.
@@colinkmetz9876 Yeah I think I remember that.
"Something is wrong in the state of Denmark" is a reference to Hamlet, and I'm surprised I remember that.
5:40 "something's wrong in the state of Denmark" is a translated German ("Es ist was faul im Staate Dänemark") saying for "I suspect there's something wrong"
I'd like to add on that this is likely a reference to Shakespeare's Hamlet, where the titular character states that "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark".
I didn't know that Hello Neighbor was a kid game....
It started as an actual horror game but went through SO MUCH public development hell that you can literally see over the course of the released demos how much they babyproofed the content while at the same time making the game worse and worse with each build
It's E10
Videos like these make me want to dive through the roms and old games I own to see if I can also find random dev comments. I don't think I've found any overly negative ones personally though and I keep forgetting which games I've already looked at lol.
"Sir, this is a Wendy's" Lmao perfect timing
Wow. Great jiggle physics for a Sega CD game.
The craziest thing to me will always be why some people decide to look thru files for some games like snail bob in the first place and how people figure out things like the wild woody easter egg lol.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Kirby game over was maybe it was supposed to look like he died but actually fell into a cake or something and when you resumed he'd wake up and be covered in food.
So an individual known as Larry Bundy Jr made a trilogy of videos featuring some hidden programmer rants in videogames. Some of the entires in this video sound like some more instances of angry rants, someone not being happy with their situation or something that happened and then venting about it.
Every time I learn something new about Neversoft or one of their games, it just makes me love them more.
This is no exception
The fact that Kirby is on the thumbnail makes me laugh for some reason
Guess you could say that mermaid would make the woody of many players wild
its amazing seeing this stuff and thinking about how much the San Andreas "Hot Coffee" controversy blew up and triggered a recall and re-release; yet none of these seem to have had any modicum of a similar reaction.
you know it's gonna be a good day when oddheader uploads
What's up with the thumbnail? It shows Kirby looking shocked with "He wants to touch WHAT?" but the 1 time Kirby is brought up it has nothing to do with him touching anything. Isn't that a bit clickbait-y?
“KIRBY ATE MY KIDS!”
"I like monkeys" apparently originated in online forums in the mid-90's. While having some disturbing themes, it's pretty clearly meant to be read as a dark-comedy. With a pretty over the top concept and dry, dark sense of humor, it fits all of the prerequisites of a copy-pasta by being incredibly memorable and quotable while also raising more and more questions in the reader with every few sentences. Keeping this all in mind it's very likely that at least one of the devs thought it was funny, and started hiding it in their games' files as an inside joke; possibly to surprise the other devs while they were working on the game.
2:50 bruh platforming moment
0:03 What's the origin of this clip?
th-cam.com/video/XOi2jFIhZhA/w-d-xo.html
A clip origin
"Something's wrong in the state of Denmark" is a line from hamlet referring to the current king wrongfully taking the throne after murdering his brother. The dev is probably complaining that he doesn't understand why they haven't fired Matt yet and is alluding to it probably being nepotism.
Came here to post that. The correct quote is actually "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" so the game either changed it slightly or made a mistake.
"On this screen there's no question kirby looks dead as hell" The blood could very easily be strawberry jam and kirby has a image of his shocked over him, he dont look dead to me
Not gonna lie the kirby one was kinda normal for kirby
Has anyone ever called Kirby “metroidvania”?
amazing mirror is somewhat of a metroidvania.
yeah oddheader just did
Yes, Amazing Mirror is as close to a Metroidvania as Kirby is likely to ever get. It's been known as such ever since the game came out.
The intros to these videos keep getting more and more funny
That mermaid was incredibly well done tbh.
Twitter: “Hey guys we figured out how to decipher inkling letters into the alphabet!”
That one splatoon 2 dev that got a bit angry one day: *nervous sweating*
Y’know I don’t think it’s that unreasonable to have _unaccessible_ adult content in a kids game…
I mean, Hot Coffee, and that wasn't even a kids game
@@TheGrimSmileThat was the stupidest controversy in the history of gaming, it was in an M rated game and wasn't finished and thus is not explicit anyway.
Shows how puritanical the media and politicians were back then.
Yeah, I don't really get how most of these are supposed to be disturbing. A young kid isn't going to know how to break into the games files, I don't even really know how to do that and I'm in my 20's.
Danny Gonzalez getting de ja vu at 2:10
The text at 3:30 totally reads to me like a copypasta or excerpt from a story. I saw that it’s still untranslated on tcrf, so I’ll see if I can take a crack at it tomorrow.
Blown away that there are still more Easter eggs to uncover
"Most of Wild Woody is about as kid friendly as you'd expect" - I'm sorry says WHO
Kirby is actually far darker than it would look like at first glance and they have used similar imagery like it before (as seen with Zero's bleeding eye) but its still shocking to see that done with Kirby himself.
Judge: What do you have to say in your defense?
Kirby: Poyo!
Jury: Awwww!
I find it funny that they took out that Kirby game over screen, but they tought Zero/Zero Two were fine enought
4:25 I love this one, as Kirby fan. I could see this existing in directors cut of the game. Where Kirby loses all his lives and that screen appears when you pause the game. Or perhaps an alternative ending to the evil eye fight in the dark world if the kirbys died 🤔
I think Hello Neighbour might have seen more longevity if they included those curses properly...
Regarding the Japanese text, "something came out" is a cultural reference to the superstition of the soul leaving the body on death.
So yeah, Kirby is certified dead here. Wow. Pretty bone chilling way to phrase it too.
I never knew both Peter Pan and Around the World were flops. I would watch them over and over as a kid.
Wait, Odd, you’ve been making all the music this whole time?!! Dude that’s so sick! As if I didn’t have enough respect for you already!
6:48 X Hamster. Nice.
My favourite inappropriate moment in a video game not exclusive to adults was the "adult conversation" in Suikoden II.
I've binged all of oddheaders video's recently, and so I pumped to see a new video!!!
That Ebonics thing killed me ayo 😂
0:42 oh right, jelfonzo’s shirt literally says “FUCK YOU” 😂
I still wouldn't consider Hell Neighbor to be a kids game despite the cartoony design.
Also, localization liberties is still an on-going problem today.
I mean it's rated E10+
“There something wrong in Denmark” is a hamlet reference.
“Something is rotten in Denmark,” it means there is something wrong in the context it’s brought up, perhaps neversoft.
3:27 Same Energy As The Messages Found In Kamaitachi no Yoru 1 & 2 4:22 I Mean It Wouldn't Be The First Time A Kirby Game Had Blood In It That Title Goes To Dream Land 3 4:55 Okay That Would Be A First For The Franchise
5:31
The same happens with the 2002 Spider-Man: The Movie Game based on the first Raimi Spider-Man Movie for PC/Xbox/PS2/Gamecube.
In some of the Level Files that You can open with Notepad, there are Developer comments from profanity to mentioning "Satanic Rats" as well as other things. It's funny as the 2002 Movie Game was built off of the 2000 Neversoft Game which Is why there are similarites In Gameplay. :)
"something is wrong in Denmark" is a paraphrase of "something is rotten in the state of Denmark", which is a quote from Hamlet (a play set in Denmark), signifying how deep the problems run
7:01 I know that was probably a joke, but one of my favorite childhood games is one with segments where you play as an anthropomorphic pencil. The Mr. Pencil saga, specifically Mr. Pencil Saves Doodleburg!
0:03 oh god just imagine that at a birthday party for kids and something really inappropriate goes on
Around the World in 80 Days is a good-ass movie actually, would recommend.
THANK YOU!!! I was looking in the comments for someone to state that fact. I had no idea it bombed, but even if it did it’s still a great movie.
“kids games”
Shows hello neighbor
I dont feel like there's any concerns about most of these for kids, considering if you're old enough to go through the games hidden files, you're probably old enough to deal with some swear words
