When I was a child, I played the NES Family Feud against my mother. I don't remember what the question was, but the answer was "refrigerator". I buzzed in first and correctly typed out "REFRIGERATOR" to which, I got buzzed. My mother then types out "frig" and they gave it to her. From that point on I've suffered severe trust issues for which there has been no remedy. Watching the McElbrothers suffer the same injustice over and over definitely helps.
@@ladambellI do! So, the way SNES Family Feud detects correct answers is if all of the letters it needs are there in the word. So if the answer is “Dog”, it just needs a D, O, and G there and in that order. HOWEVER, since it’s only looking for those letters, it ignores any letters before, after, or in between them. So when “Applesauce” was typed, all the computer saw was “aPplEsAuce”. There’s a famous TAS (tool-assisted speedrun) of the game that literally answers every question like this and they don’t get a single question wrong
@@MrSkerpentine it also accepts a single letter as a replacement for a double letter, so it would accept BAL for BALL I know there's more to the system, because I made my own TAS once and there's one answer in there that I can't even explain myself, but those two quirks will explain *most* answers you see (alongside the knowledge that each answer has a few specific synonyms it will also accept, like TOYS for GAMES)
I can't believe the makers of Family Feud for the NES didn't think to put Squid Game as an answer. What jerks. Aside from that travesty, this video was incredible.
i love these "old games" streams because i have zero interest in or knowledge of video games but plenty of interest in watching the mcelroys be funny while i eat a bowl of curry, and i can follow the "plot" of these streams a lot more easily bc the games are simpler :)
i think a point and click adventure could be fun, or a gameshow game like wheel of fortune, or something competitive but reliably engaging like mario party! honestly tho i think if youre wanting for games then just games that yall legit just enjoy would probably be fun to watch!
Shadowgate was such an awesome game! I was terrible at it and had no idea what I was doing, and the torch system scared me as a small child. But that song is stuck in my head permanently now!
Trying to get a feel for the general public's opinion on things through the lense of a game show through the lense of a video game from 32 years ago is a type of existentialism I wasn't ready for.
I would love a full Victory McElroyale of Shadowgate. Or any of that series of games. I'm also devastated that they didn't light the mummy on fire. That was the best thing when I was a kid. Burglary, arson, /and/ desecrating the dead.
I remember my brother and I being so excited to rent the X-Men NES game from my local video rental place. Two minutes after we get home we realize our entire weekend has been ruined.
I feel like you guys need to experience "Exodus". It's got neverending Father Abraham background music, Moses, AND manna eating! Just the finest of unlicensed NES bootleg Christianity.
Nightshade would be fun, never seen anyone play it and it has a very pulp noir cheesy detective vibe. Speaking of, Deja Vu znd Uninvited would be great as well, or Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom.
Griffin skipping text, especially in something that other people are meant to watch, is so stressful. I think we all had a friend like this and we all yelled at them. 20:52
Listen y'all, you're going to have to play Ninja Gaiden eventually. Might as well get it over with. Also, might I recommend Balloon Fight, RC Pro-Am, Rush 'n Attack, Jackal, The Guardian Legend, Gauntlet, Maniac Mansion, Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers, Bionic Commando and Contra! And one of the most terrifying games on the NES, Air Fortress!
Really wish they'd cut down the opening for these. I get the point for the actual live stream but it can't be that hard to cut off the first 4 minutes or so after the fact.
you guys should play raft! or grounded! Raft would let you live your best sun and sea vibes. (also there are 69 comments right now and i'm ruining it for everyone)
I love them playing shitty nes games together!! One thing is, I wish they would do it through a proper emulator with online multiplayer cuz I noticed Internet Archive can be a pretty janky emulator and it makes me sad that Justin can't show his True Gamer Powers cuz of lag. Also using proper emulators would open the door to such powerful consoles as... THE SNES.
please please anyone else in the comments i beg of you please tell me that putting whipped cream on ice cream is NOT a common thing and that the brothers are insane for thinking that would be a common answer

On the SNES Family Feud, my little brother once typed in APPLESAUCE and the game registered it as PEAS. I still have no explanation for this.
"What would you find in a junk drawer?"
"Penis and scrotum."
Ding "Pens and pencils"
@@ladambellI do!

Not all heroes wear capes
Thank you 🙏🏻
thank you!!!
Thank you, kind sir.
Ty!
I can't believe the makers of Family Feud for the NES didn't think to put Squid Game as an answer. What jerks. Aside from that travesty, this video was incredible.
I would love to see you guys play overcooked or plate up. It would be hilarious
Another good one is One-Armed Cook, which is also time-pressure cooking shenanigans but with added physics simulator. Very fun to stream!
Plate up pleeeeeease!
Overcooked for sure please
Omg I second this it would be perfect with them!
Overcooked would be so fun!!!! I can already imagine the chaos 😭

The little brother energy at 48:51 - "did you see? Did you see?" 🤣🤣🤣
I love it, he was so proud of himself. These brothers aren't always family friendly but they are wholesome
@@DrawnToStrifeUnofficial *but they are a friendly family
Love playing random games!!!! Bring back FMV quest!!!!!
omg YES
Also, daddy needs more Girl's Club.
Wait, that sounds wrong
@@williamsmith169 girls' club let's play with all three boys would be SO GOOD!!
I want more Zork 😭
This had me practically in tears more than once lol I’d love to see y’all do a longer play through of a point and click adventure on stream
Other than MBMBAM, Mcelroyale vids are what I look forward to most on Mondays! Thanks for doing these! ❤
ah id like a full playthrough of shadowcastle or whatever its called, that was a good time
The lag in Pokemon 2000 had me dying. 😂
“use bag on goo” absolutely sent me
Shadowgate! Yesss!! Played it as a kid and couldn't figure it out. Also, it was scary. Emulated it and beat it 15ish years later.
I think "for sure gluf is not part of this" was my favorite single quote.
i think a point and click adventure could be fun, or a gameshow game like wheel of fortune, or something competitive but reliably engaging like mario party! honestly tho i think if youre wanting for games then just games that yall legit just enjoy would probably be fun to watch!
Omg Mario Party would be great!! Would love to watch the McElboys get competitive

"Who's the guy on Twitter" - Half the viewership SCREAMING dril at the screen.
Thank you, Tom.
I was so baffled at earrings 😂
i can't believe they COMPLETELY IGNORED the audience's DEMANDS for BARBIE
They kept passing it and he went “I’ve been listening to audience demands” ON BARBIE and then moved on I was devastated
This had me dying at multiple points. I had to stop the video so I could catch my breath. I haven't laughed this hard in years!
"Why can't she see me, I don't have oil"
I would love a full Victory McElroyale of Shadowgate. Or any of that series of games.
I'm also devastated that they didn't light the mummy on fire. That was the best thing when I was a kid. Burglary, arson, /and/ desecrating the dead.
God in heaven.... thank you boys for doing another one. Getting FMV quest vibes. This is phenomenal
53:17: My favorite bois refusing to alienate their female viewers. Thanks fellas. We appreciate you.
God the family feud sprites are so BUSTED
They look so legitimately terrifying 😭 they look like they’d fit in in a horror game
1:07:17 Griffin makes the reference that was front of mind for ALL of us
I remember my brother and I being so excited to rent the X-Men NES game from my local video rental place.
Two minutes after we get home we realize our entire weekend has been ruined.
The murdered at a circus line is legit hilarious
griffin has a horible habit of just NOT reading the things he's supposed to do in games and it gives me STRESS LMAO
is Justin McElroy the only human to ever brute-force himself a nickname
"I'm almost finished the boss!" -Justin vs. the first enemy in the video game Pokemon 2000
I had such fun last time! This is a real pick me up.
Love this - wish you guys did more retro gaming content!
nothing could have prepared me for fucking nightcrawler. impeccable.
I'd love to see you play Mario Party (especially if you could get Clint to be player 4)
McDonald’s tie-in platformer “MC Kids” on NES was on of those oddball classics my brother and I loved. Give it a go!
I want more nes and snes games!! I love these streams
would have loved to see the horrors of the family feud answers for the marriage question wowzee bowzee
Nearly pissed myself laughing during the entire Battle Chess segment
We need Snake, Rattle n' Roll next!
Huh, Travis has been in the bathroom for a long time. Hope he's ok!
aaaahh shadowgate is so comfy
That's funny. I worked at Prima Games for six years and didn't see you boys there. I'm smelling a real fibarooni in the air :P
Hope Trav's tummy is okay, he's been in the bathroom awhile.
I was gonna say. Did they really just pretend he's in the bathroom the whole time and never explain further? Lol.
@@Yammenkow Probably, that’s an extremely McElroy thing to do
I've been waiting all week. You're pretty good.
so....what are people putting whipped cream on????????????????????????????????? the fact that ice cream got zero is killing me
Yesssss. More NES goodness!! Love it
Justin’s face around 1:02:05 had me rolling
Not a retro game, but I feel like y’all would have a lot of fun with Super Bunny Man. Check it out guys!
Tuning in later and just wanna say, Juice I love your shirt. I have the same one myself. Orange Bird is the best
I feel like you guys need to experience "Exodus". It's got neverending Father Abraham background music, Moses, AND manna eating! Just the finest of unlicensed NES bootleg Christianity.

I think Travis' toilet ate him. 😱

I can’t believe Family Feud animated Richard Dawson (not Ray Combs) kissing every female contestant at 48:20
SO SAD THEY DIDN'T HOLD DOWN THE ATTACK BUTTON IN POKEMON 2000. there's a special animation and they would've lost their shit.
I just want to know who's putting whipped cream on their ice cream?
Like, 'pie' is surely number one with a bullet?
Sociopaths.
A lot of people, unfortunately
just the thought of it is turning my stomach D:
I mean I would assume at least more people than put whipped cream on their earrings?
is Surgeon Simulator (or similar games) still out there? Cuz it would be a real sight to see the McElroys play that
I'm laughing so much at two intelligent men not working out why the general answer "sports" was not allowed
19:05 would you say the wraith is... phantasmal and resplendent?
Y’all are good good boys.
Gotta do some old Gauntlet with everybody :D
Tengen was a subsidiary of Atari, as evidenced by both of their names being go terms

I would love to see you guys try out the Jaws NES game. It's very bad but in a way I think would be enjoyable.
Love this madness
So sad I missed!!!!
This was dope
I desperately need them to play California Games on the nes
Need a Part III
Really wish they'd cut down the opening for these. I get the point for the actual live stream but it can't be that hard to cut off the first 4 minutes or so after the fact.
King’s quest!!!
you guys should play raft! or grounded! Raft would let you live your best sun and sea vibes.
(also there are 69 comments right now and i'm ruining it for everyone)
I wasn't in the chat BUT: A Boy and His Blob, Bubble Bobble, Adventure Island
I realise it's gross to comment on people's appearance, but you're looking great Justin! Rocking the beard
Was Bionic Commando part of the discussion at any point? Or Paperboy? I’d also watch them play Family Feud for 2 hours.
1:06:00 there are real tears in my eyes
Have you tried playing Dodgeball on NES?

Mr. T ate my Smithbal
Is this Starcade?
Did Justin just reference Aunty donna?!
why was the smithbal dad animation jsut him jerkin it so right
Stream starts at 4:50
i feel like we’ve completely glossed over the fact that wolverine is 5’3”
It's because it's old news he is just a little man
Moooooooore!
yo if you need dendy roms, i have them all. i even have the weird sega dendy stuff like star wars angry birds 2, featuring always by erasure
Can we talk about how Logan is 5'3"????
Yes he's famously very short
now why does the x-men game say wolverine is 5'3. is that canon? has wolverine been a short king all along?
Yes
I appreciate the variety but also I would love to see y'all back in Fortnite every now and again!!
Ball Games had me fucked up lol
Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles please
gluf gang
Who PUTS WHIPPED CREAM ON ICE CREAM??? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM
Man I thought Justin was good at video games.
It's weird seeing our babiest brother with grey hair.
please please anyone else in the comments i beg of you please tell me that putting whipped cream on ice cream is NOT a common thing and that the brothers are insane for thinking that would be a common answer
sorry but they do it to ice cream sundaes
This is the worst
