My mind is corrupt, but not corrupt enough to know what Reach Around actually means, so I honestly just thought that it was a completely normal name and that Cliffjumper was just being weird.
I can’t tell what’s worse: a Cybertronian that turns into a “toy” or the mere idea of a “toy” within the Toy Story universe. The worst thing is, both of these things are very possible within their own respected universes, Toy Story 4 basically confirmed that ANYTHING can be a toy that comes to life so long as you play with it.
@@anotherrandomguy8871aren't just the toys coming to life because of zero point energy? like, if you play with something older than it, it probably won't come to life
No joke, I have no idea what “Reach around” means, so I was just as confused as Optimus here on that one when cliffjumper made a big deal about the name, and you know what? That makes it even better. Maybe it’s best not to know.
Optimus just being innocent is something I could totally see. Also, I actually really like that Optimus voice unironically. Like it isn’t one to one, but it still carries the spirit.
What I'm most impressed with is the writing here. I feel like Optimus is totally in character throughout the entire video, which is rare in videos like this. Stretching the character for comedy is totally acceptable of course, but sticking to them so solidly is really remarkable I think
I love that Cliffjumper is written like a character in a youtube skit, while Optimus is literally just Optimus, and he does not understand why Cliff is cursing or why he's talking around the subject.
If anything, Optimus probably thinks the "butt" in "Buttplug" refers to the part of a firearm with that name. And therefore "Buttplug" to him would just mean "a lid that closes an opening on a firearm".
Megatron: What do you mean Starscream? He obviously uses balls and rooster crows to torture his victims. This better not be another attempt to user- Starscream: Megatron is too naive to lead the decepticons! I, Starscream, am now the leader! Cock and Ball Torture: Is this guy for real? Megatron: You just kind of tune him out.
G1? Yes. Baverse Prime is just a straight up mass murdering psychopath. Even in the last movie he was all about how humans suck and his zest for revenge.
@@gmork1090 that’s just one version of Optimus though, and bayverse optimus has pretty justifiable reasons for how he feels imo, considering the humans basically hunted down and killed a bunch of Autobots offscreen.

And yet despite the naughty jokes and ending, I genuinely think Optimus kindness, patience and diplomatic approach to Cliffjumper's attitude is very much in character. I approve of this depiction and deem it canon, and now I want toys of Reacharound and Handjob, just so we know what they look like too.

@@illyanesterenko8930To be fair, Michael Bay's redesign pretty much became the current standard for most of Bumblebee's appearances post-2007, starting with TFP.
I love that Optimus is characterized correctly in this. Also in case anyone didn’t know, he’s not named Optimus because of his Optimism, but rather because of a Latin word “Optimus” meaning “best”, and with Prime meaning something that’s really important, Optimus Prime literally means “The best and most important.”
Everyone's talking about how accurate to early g1 that Optimus voice is but I'm obsessed with whoever did that megatron voice at the end. Good christ it's like you had frank welker himself there at the mic
Starscream: "Megatron, do you have ANY idea what his name means!?" Megatron: "YES. YES, I DO. Are you suggesting that his name is NOT terrifying?" Starscream: "...For once, you actually had a good plan, Lord Megatron!"
Megatron ABSOLUTELY does it on purpose. He just doesn't realize that naming stuff after sex things is weird. "AH, YES, LET'S STRIKE FEAR INTO THE HEARTS OF THE AUTOBOTS! BUTTSEX, ROLL OUT!"
fun fact, a few years ago hasbro put out a combining robot special edition transformer called Nexus Maximus. Then a fan did a google search on the term and reported back that the name was already in use for a vibrator Hasbro had the name changed to Nexus Prime not long after.
his name was originally supposed to be nexus prime or maximus prime but hasbro changed it to protect the prime name, then changed it again shortly afterwards after being told it was already in use, hasbro had done a search prior to the announcement but since their research was done with safesearch on they didn't know about the vibrator
I like how Cliffjumper asking how Optimus has been on Earth this long without learning this stuff implies that Earth is like a cosmic internet where the childlike innocence of various alien species goes to die
Or that thus far our world is the first they found with total delinquents. Remember transformers are smart but they are galactic coloninizers they can travel space but haven't really done so. So for them we may be in the first 100 sentient species.
Here’s a question I would have for cliffjumper. You’ve been on earth for a while so it makes sense you would know the basics of human reproduction. Now why do you an alien robot know all these human terms unless you had an active interest in those things? To any transformer the basics are easy to understand and thats the end of it but why do you know more than just “man, woman, 9 months and baby”.
@@CyberSonic-V3.0 could be the human friends Cliffjumper hangs out with talking about these phrases and his interest in humanity prompts the question so he can understand what they're saying.
"DeePee reporting for active duty, Optimus!" "Good. What did you and Hard-On find out about that new Deception that can transform into a vacuum cleaner?" "Well, Carpet Muncher nearly stole some rocket fuel but, luckily, Come Shot stopped him by spraying laser blasts all around him."
It would be funnier if he tried to leave but there was a cliff on the way and no matter how he tried he was unable to jump over it, his whole life was a lie
And "Don't just stand there with your pistons in your servos!" from Sentinel Prime in TF:A In TF:A, they refer to their hands as servos... as for pistons, well....
I feel conflicted because Optimus is being such a supportive and patient leader, but these Transformer names are absolutely insane and need to be pointed out lmao
"We've had these names for millions of years, Cliffjumper. It's not our fault that humans have so many names for their sex toys and acts that some of our names coincide with them. Besides, do you know what 'Grimlock' or 'Prowl' means in Vok? By the Matrix, Cliffjumper, your name means 'cannibal necrophilia orgy' in Sharkticon. If we had to change our names just because it meant something dirty in some other planet's language, we'd never be able address each other."
Honestly, that does seem like a pretty logical way to give this short a happy ending. I bet the newest Autobot, Deepthroat, didn't have to swallow such juvenile teasing.
@@manuelalbertoromero9528 cliffjumper could learn a thing or two from him, never know when you're gonna hafta thrust yourself down a dark, dank tunnel that could go all the way down the other end sorta thing that'd make less endurant autobot beg for release awful quick
Cliffjumper: "I-I guess that is true. By the way, just out of morbid curiosity, what exactly does your name translate to in Sharkticon?" Optimus: "Genitalia flayer. And yes, it was very difficult to introduce myself to them under my name without a wave of panic but after a good conversation i cleared up the language differences."
With the context of them being aliens and not being exposed to the dirty, double meanings of some words. I would jump straight to questioning Cliffjumper on how he knows these.
Clearly he's just spent more time than most Autobots digging into the human lexacon, not just getting surface meanings, but also slang terms. If anything he's right on calling out the other Autobots on not putting enough effort into localizing their names in a way that won't confuse the locals.
I've always wondered what they called Bumblebee before he got to earth because there's no way that a bunch of cybernetic organism from a metal planet have bees.
At least COCK AND BALL TORTURE is an actually threatening name and not just an invitation for a good time, though some people might not see the difference.
But how would that work? I mean we literally never see a transformer with a cock and balls, well except for in that one Michael Bay movie but that's about it
You know how to keep the Dadness in Optimus, I love the hand puns he made, like he's just being funny and supportive without knowing what the other meaning is.
I like that I am not alone in not knowing what "reach around" is and didn't get it why Cliffjumper is baffled until the other names where mentioned, giving us the minimal context that "reach around" is THAT kind of word.
Everyone is talking about your optimus voice, BUT HOLY HELL THAT MEGATRON IS GENUINELY PERFECT. It's a voice I could only DREAM of ever getting right, and you have! Not just the voice acting, but the editing and voice filters really just sell the g1 anesthetic perfectly. From a die hard transformers fan to (maybe?) Another: Fricking bravo.
....I made a TH-cam poop that made a running gag about Dirge and his c*** and while I used Thrusts name I didn't ONCE THINK ABOUT MAKING A JOKE ABOUT THRUST-ING. MY GOD.
*Optimus:* "You realize we are robots, right?" *Cliffjumper:* "Well, yeah, but..." *Optimus:* "We don't have reproductive organs. We don't even really have _orifices."_ *Cliffjumper:* "Some of us have mouths." *Optimus:* "Your mouth is purely decorative and you know it. You don't even need it for talking. In fact, you should stop doing that before you hurt someone else's feelings." *Buttplug:* "Yeah, either use that pretty mouth of yours to make others feel good or keep it shut." *Cliffjumper:* "Oh, Primus dammit..."
Or a non-english speaker like... An alien. I'm not a native english speaker and handjob and reacharound would work. Buttplug and CBT obviously wouldn't tho
I'm pretty sure there has been several comments about Optimus Prime being Jewish. Even Family Guy did that joke once. Not certain where it originated from though
"You can't be this naive". You know, that's the thing, when it comes to Earth culture he totally is. These names definitely wouldn't have the same connotation on Cybertron. But either way, as. Transformers fan I love this skit, there are so many nonsense names.
Well you got someone who has an addiction to the ecstasy of transforming so much that he burns out his t cogs regularly and collects new ones from dead bodies, and one who is obsessed with Megatron and especially killing after he beat him in a fight once and destroys planets on the side, and there’s Shockwave
@@theunholyadventurer2376 Shockwave is pretty self explanatory that guy is in a whole league of his own in terms of being a strange monstrosity my guy managed to get cybertron destroyed and corrupt it’s history making everything the cybertronians believe in a complete lie, and that was the Shockwave they wrote to be sympathetic lol
the fuck that i deadass i tought that reacharound was an actual Autobot name speaks volumes about the message of this video. Truly one of the G1 Transformers moments of all time
Optimus: Cliffjumper, since you had such problems with out new recruits, I've decided to have you reassigned to construction. Cliff: Alright, who will I be working with there? Optimus: You'll be working under Erector. Cliff: ... Optimus: I'm not gonna lie, Erector's gonna be pretty rough when he handles you. It's going to be long and hard, by the payoff of working with Erector will be well worth it. Cliff: You're doing this on purpose now, aren't you?
Unironically this would actually make sense for Prime, the transformers don't have reproductive organs and have time and time again been displayed not understanding about things like physical intimacy (Except for IDW, and even then, I always hated that cause it never made sense) let alone reproductive organs and sexual acts. And Prime's a busy guy. While he may take his time to enjoy the Earth customs and culture sometimes, he's busy planning various things. Not just plans to defeat the decepticons, but looking after his Autobots, increasing base defenses, cooperation with humans. It makes sense he wouldn't have a degree of understanding for these phrases that we as a species made up. I always just assumed that the Autobot names were like Call signs (which that part is obvious), and what they come out to in English is the closest thing that matches what their names mean in Cybertronian. So with that being said I could totally see one having a name like fuckin Hand Job out of confusion.
@thegrimlockreaper1279 I don't mind Romantic Relationships, I actually like how they were represented in episodes like the Search for Alpha Trion, where the relationship is displayed not as a physical one but as a deep bond with someone that's much more emotional than anything else. Which always came across as profound to me cause these are beings that not only have lived for Millions of years, but have gone through War for many of them. So a connection like that carries even more weight and emotion when it's over hundreds of thousands of our life times. My Problem is with how things like IDW make them have very physical relationships, despite it making no sense at all for Robots. And they try to make it seem like it's "More mature" when it actually comes across as less mature, and more just forced. And I know part of the reason physical intimacy isn't displayed in other transformers media is also because it is after all a franchise made for kids, but that doesn't change the fact that it doesn't make sense for Robots. As well as the way they depict it even in G1 is again just kind of profound. That they express that romantic love purely through how they talk and refer to eachother, and how much respect the hold for the other and how much they value the other. I find that a much more mature depiction of Cybertronian Romance
The IDW thing was weird, but..eh. Social constructs and all. Don't think sex had anything to do with it. Powerglide had a human love him and Seaspray scored with a mermaid lol, so I kinda let the IDW thing slide. Plus Prime had Elita, etc. Asexual robots super liking each other is fine.
@@gmork1090 There were a lot of sexual innuendos and references in some of the cartoons and mangas. Not to mention the movies. It’s there, you just kind of have to look.
I like how with the Autobots, these names are at least passable if you don’t know the meaning behind them. Unlike the Decepticons who threw subtlety out of the window and went with something that doesn’t leave much room for ambiguity. XD
I personally was thinking “I wonder what clever innuendo they’re gonna come up with” then got hit with… well I don’t want to spoil it for people who haven’t watched the full video
I didn't even know what "reacharound" was until I watched this video. Of course, I did the stupid thing and searched it up, and now I lost a bit of my remaining innocence.
What's funny is optimus genuinely would be oblivious to earth idioms like this. Probably even more so than other autobots

fun fact, a few years ago hasbro put out a combining robot special edition transformer called Nexus Maximus.
Then a fan did a google search on the term and reported back that the name was already in use for a vibrator
Hasbro had the name changed to Nexus Prime not long after.
Da frick
his name was originally supposed to be nexus prime or maximus prime but hasbro changed it to protect the prime name, then changed it again shortly afterwards after being told it was already in use, hasbro had done a search prior to the announcement but since their research was done with safesearch on they didn't know about the vibrator

Cool your here too!
Cullen's actual Optimus voice changed over the years too. His old G1 voice was higher pitched and the speech was faster if compared to Bayverse
@@glory2cybertron Wasn't Optimus in the 2007 live-action film based more on his portrayal in the 1986 animated film?
That's true.
I was thinking the same!
I like how Cliffjumper asking how Optimus has been on Earth this long without learning this stuff implies that Earth is like a cosmic internet where the childlike innocence of various alien species goes to die
Or that thus far our world is the first they found with total delinquents.
Remember transformers are smart but they are galactic coloninizers they can travel space but haven't really done so.
So for them we may be in the first 100 sentient species.

Here’s a question I would have for cliffjumper.
You’ve been on earth for a while so it makes sense you would know the basics of human reproduction. Now why do you an alien robot know all these human terms unless you had an active interest in those things? To any transformer the basics are easy to understand and thats the end of it but why do you know more than just “man, woman, 9 months and baby”.

With the context of them being aliens and not being exposed to the dirty, double meanings of some words. I would jump straight to questioning Cliffjumper on how he knows these.
Clearly he's just spent more time than most Autobots digging into the human lexacon, not just getting surface meanings, but also slang terms. If anything he's right on calling out the other Autobots on not putting enough effort into localizing their names in a way that won't confuse the locals.
Too much internet for him

That Frank Welker impersonation isn't so bad either.
At least COCK AND BALL TORTURE is an actually threatening name and not just an invitation for a good time, though some people might not see the difference.
But how would that work? I mean we literally never see a transformer with a cock and balls, well except for in that one Michael Bay movie but that's about it
"Starscream, how dare you make him cry!" - Megatron, probably.

The worst part I petty sure that a real transformer
He is
Unironically this would actually make sense for Prime, the transformers don't have reproductive organs and have time and time again been displayed not understanding about things like physical intimacy (Except for IDW, and even then, I always hated that cause it never made sense) let alone reproductive organs and sexual acts.
And Prime's a busy guy. While he may take his time to enjoy the Earth customs and culture sometimes, he's busy planning various things. Not just plans to defeat the decepticons, but looking after his Autobots, increasing base defenses, cooperation with humans.
It makes sense he wouldn't have a degree of understanding for these phrases that we as a species made up.
I always just assumed that the Autobot names were like Call signs (which that part is obvious), and what they come out to in English is the closest thing that matches what their names mean in Cybertronian. So with that being said I could totally see one having a name like fuckin Hand Job out of confusion.
To be fair romantic relationships involving transformers have been around since at least gen 1 with sea spray.
@thegrimlockreaper1279 I don't mind Romantic Relationships, I actually like how they were represented in episodes like the Search for Alpha Trion, where the relationship is displayed not as a physical one but as a deep bond with someone that's much more emotional than anything else. Which always came across as profound to me cause these are beings that not only have lived for Millions of years, but have gone through War for many of them. So a connection like that carries even more weight and emotion when it's over hundreds of thousands of our life times.
My Problem is with how things like IDW make them have very physical relationships, despite it making no sense at all for Robots. And they try to make it seem like it's "More mature" when it actually comes across as less mature, and more just forced. And I know part of the reason physical intimacy isn't displayed in other transformers media is also because it is after all a franchise made for kids, but that doesn't change the fact that it doesn't make sense for Robots. As well as the way they depict it even in G1 is again just kind of profound. That they express that romantic love purely through how they talk and refer to eachother, and how much respect the hold for the other and how much they value the other. I find that a much more mature depiction of Cybertronian Romance
The IDW thing was weird, but..eh. Social constructs and all. Don't think sex had anything to do with it. Powerglide had a human love him and Seaspray scored with a mermaid lol, so I kinda let the IDW thing slide. Plus Prime had Elita, etc. Asexual robots super liking each other is fine.

Unlike the Decepticons who threw subtlety out of the window and went with something that doesn’t leave much room for ambiguity. XD
except buttplug. there is 0 ambiguity with that
