I was rambling on through the chans of four when two by two chance I happened upon this thread positing a mind-expanding query, asked by the queer-y one known as OP. What doth video games, huh? They say life is a game. If that's the case, I must be playing on ultra-nightmare 'cause I'm an MK ultra nightmare to those in need, especially the lesser-sought-dweller polybians on the interwebs. I'll cut right through this labyrinthine web of inters and integers using the razor-sharp blade of the blunt truth. You really wanna know what doth video games, kid? It's simple: the game

Favorite XRA joke?
I'm going with the classic "Wind monkey" bit.

ENA is at least 2 steps below XRA in terms of absurdism. ENA is more surrealism.

Is it weird I felt nothing for picrel everytime I tried to watch it but loved XRA? Not just saying this because of the winged protagonist but because Harvey Birdman was pretty absurd as well but the jokes just don’t land.
The You Testament
the jokes land better if you grew up watching Hannah Barbera cartoons.
i just want to yammer on about a dumb wise master and have dumb flashbacks
well go ahead then, have one
wait, what?
it's either or youtube.com
honorable mention to the buddhist monks bit
did Xavier always have that many nipples?
yes
Nothing comes close because most games are just crunching numbers and dodging bullets. No one ITT will give a sufficient answer to your question
No replies
What a bunch of faggots, that shit actually nails the XRA writing perfectly.
Im surprised how well i could match his tone while reading this out loud
Birdman is just reference-slop for Gen X'ers
It's a copypasta from an earlier thread but yes it's very good
It's because most anons already saw it in Xavier thread from 2 weeks ago.

I also like "We don't cotton to strange Chinamen with no self of self who stand secretly by for indeterminate amounts of time"

Very missed opportunity to make "THE GAME" echo at the end.

I can't think of any, its wordplay is just on another level. The game with the best dialogue would probably be VTMB, though it's obviously very different in terms of tone, presentation and humour.
"How do they expect me to stay out of jail? that's where all my stuff is"
"You even got a girlfriend."
"Wow! Is he disabled?"
I'm going to make an XRA themed videogame where you do odd jobs for people who hate you and literally don't want you to help them and everyone including the protagonist talks like a paranoid schizophrenic.

Charles Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden
There was never an adult swim point and click game about Xavier during the 2000s
This entire show is just one huge point and click mindfuck. it was fucking tailor made for the most perfect adventure game experience.
WHY THE FUCK WASNT THERE ONE!?!?!?
someone please post that directors interview where they bantered about travelling back in time and preventing the other one from getting born
Entirely different kinds of humor in my opinion. That game is hilarious because it's a completely absurd setting that's presented in a completely serious fashion. There's nothing particularly funny about Moonwalker Jordan having a showdown with Charles Barkley while the Globetrotter theme plays without all of the prior serious buildup. It's not that surreal and isn't dependent on clever wordplay or rapid fire blink-and-you-miss jokes.
season 2 was better and the jokes were more clever than funny
Toilet in Wonderland, kind of. There isn't a game that is as absurd as Xavier and has wordplay on par with it.
he's comparing the universal oneness of all life to your mama!
best answer so far
WARLOCK IV: CONQUEST OF NEO-ARABIA
One episode of the show is called "The Sixth Teat of Good Intentions", they knew what they were doing.
close but lsd dream simulator comes closer
the live action bit in the submitted fans ep got the writing perfectly

I always thought it was cringe Anon Babble zoomershit being honest with you.
enjoying Harvey Birdman required being Gen X / Early Millennial enough to understand the old Hannah Barbara references and in-jokes made.
Kind of like how Rocko's Modern Life was constant sex jokes for adults with just enough random wacky shit for kids to enjoy

It conjures so many questions and unpleasant images in just one offhand line. That's why I love it.
you're twisted! and you have the nerves to blame it on police dogs? those dogs were decorated! look at this place *pans camera around a ruined living room* what have you ever decorated?
I've genuinely been thinking about this for like 15 minutes now. It's hard to pick a favorite.
thanks, I've had this downloaded for a couple years, should actually get around to playing it

This scene speaks to me
It’s about time someone took you perverts out back and diddled your rights as a private citizen
the prequel is more fucked up, with the the two lesbian fat devs showing themselves for no reason whatsoever.
Friday Night is Taco Tuesdays
people are just naming games that are absurd, not ones with witty writing. Like hylics is cool and absurd but it's writing is semi-randomized and the wiring in the second one is pretty dry
Xavier isn't just random shit, it's a show with dialogue so dense in jokes that the everything else is warped around it

Hee-huh?!
Would you sign my petition?
Nobody knows how to write games like that.
The xavier cameo in snoot's ""game"" pissed me off because it activated my almonds I even got ready to do the voice and then he's just written as a normal weirdo with no wordplay. They curbstomped my enthusiasm.
Aesthetically? Postal 2

I fucking forgot about this game. The XRA humor is right there, so as the crude humor on the modern yet chaotic society that we live in until today.
So Gothic?
no way you freakin pinko!
Harvey was a weird mix of Archer/Phineas and Ferb with many jokes being in-jokes the show would keep repeating and extending over the episodes while also ontop of that being a bunch of refrences and in-jokes to Hannah Barbera days. And then intop of all that, then you have the more usual [as] absurdist style.
I enjoyed it but I get why not many would since it's an in-joke, within and in-joke, packged with dude weedlmao [as] branding.
Now lemme get some white women for the first black man in heaven!
oh fuck you
the whole "All hole, no ass" exchange
Fuck no
Need to play this to see for sure but I don't think it really focuses on the comedy aspect as much.
XRA is absurd but it's also very specific in how it's written. This sounds gay as fuck but it's almost genius levels of writing sometimes. The amount of puns and plays on words is insane. Does ANY game match that aspect of it?
Excellent post
Warioware and land 4
There was some XRA styled post maybe a year ago that was so fucking good but I don't think I saved it
I'm upset now
Great post
GO IN AND LOOT ALL THEIR SHEKELS BUT PLEASE DON'T TICKLE THEIR SCHMECKLES
XRA isn't a TV series, it's a state of mind
My God! This Indian burial ground is full of Arab blood!
I partially blame the zoomers who watched the Shakashuri Blowdown argument clip on TikTok or wherever and just assumed that XRA is another dime a dozen "lmao surreal cgi XDDDD" work that things like Jimmy Neutron Happy Family Happy Hour popularized without reading between the lines that the show is hard carried by the writing.
If you want another show that's dense in puns and word play I like The Shivering Truth.
It's by Vernon Chatman just like XRA.
all those fucking posers coming in HOURS after the og post
you're a bunch of posers
begone to your prancing lala homoland
That show ended too soon.
Boco, you're a homo
Okay.
Yeah I was pissed that it got canceled.
Probably a combination of it being expensive to produce, and I remember new episodes would air after Rick and Morty on Adult Swim and you'd see a lot of fans of that show complaining online about Shivering Truth being too weird and creepy.
I just joined the thread

what? no, no. being homo is not okay
Speaking of Vernon Chatman, I recommend reading his book Mindsploitation, where he sends increasingly bizarre homework assignments to those "we'll help out your schoolwork" websites ran by jeets and whatnot, and the results he gets are just as weird as his requests because they didn't know jackshit about wordplay, or even basic English for that matter.
Also of note is his movie Final Flesh, where it's pretty much the same thing, only that he sends his nuclear horror script to four different personalized porn websites where they have to act it out without having any fucking idea of what's going on.
Thanks. I'm also a big fan of Wonder Showzen so it'd be nice to check out those other projects of his.

I was born in 1990 and loved this show, watched HB shows as a kid. Friends like 2 to 3 threes younger? The show basically didn't land with them. So the quoted anon is spot on
Its amazing how it was weird and vulgar, but then out of the blue it says something genuinely smart or profound.
And whats the reasoning for it?

And whats the reasoning for it?
Pathological, of course
Whatever that means.
ENA was not written as intelligently it felt more like if whoever writing it was just on autopilot, no rhyme or reason.
