Relax folks, these everyday run-of-the-mill objects mean us no harm, so let's all relax right next to them. Can you think of any other items that definitely aren't monsters in disguise? Shout in the comments if so, and enjoy!

I have never been more suspicious of that chair they're all sitting on.

A man walks into a bar, and the bartender asks: what's the shotgun for? The man replied: Mimics The bartender laughed, the man laughed, the barstool laughed, the man shot the barstool.

“Name a vampire with a beard”, says Andy Farrant, a vampire with a beard.

I've had it happen that a mimic in Prey turned into a "not a mimic" post-it note. It really caught me off guard. Especially since they're technically not supposed to be able to do that.

That one piano from Super Mario 64 is completely harmless, just trust me.

Theres a mimic in final fantasy 12 that perfectly resembles a save point, any replacement of the savepoint is the greatest betrayal in my opinion.

you can actually make ocarina of time way better if you name him "my dude".

To be fair, there IS ominous music and Navi DOES yell "WATCH OUT!!!" Since when do we listen to Navi though?

Walking around any power plant in Pokemon. "That item on the floor is definitely not Voltorb."

That's why the Mines in Stardew Valley are so great: everything appears to be what it is. Slimes are slimes, bats are bats, and stones are definitely not horrible rock crab monsters hoping to feast on your feet.

"No, no, no, no! Oh, that was my grandma's!" That's the line that will keep me smiling all day.

You know what I'm grateful of? That mimics are never disguised as keys that secretly eat your collection of actual keys.

There's also a certain swan pedalo in Fallout 4, i dont know why i even brought it up honestly, its so ordinary..

"this totally normal coffin" 😂

"Thou hast felt it... BUTTS" - The Great Deku Tree In my mind OOT will never be the same again

Cappy from Mario Odyssey is a hat that mind controls things by sitting on their head. and where is he for the whole game? on Mario's head. cappy is actually a monster.

What about the Pokémon series? Is it an item, there on the floor, or is it a bloody Voltorb/Electrode?

I actually have some funny evil door stories from D&D. In one campaign, we had a paladin die to a door mimic, and when we got a level twenty cleric to resurrect him, they told him not to die a dumb way again. He then proceeds to nearly bash his skull in less then a day later tripping over his own feet. There's a running bet in the party that he's going to die again to tripping and falling, or something equally embarrassing. The second story is from a recent dungeon crawl I did with my siblings. My little brother was a rogue, and while the doors weren't mimics they were trapped to high heaven, and his perception checks were bad enough that he kept missing them. About halfway through the dungeon, his character becomes paranoid that the doors are out to get him, so the rest of us have to either try unlocking the doors with his thieve's tools, or just bust them down, which is made much harder when we come across the metal doors. We've left the dungeon, but his character now has a permanent fear of doors that has kind of become a running joke for our group.

im not surprised dark souls was even in this list considering that even blood stains can kill you you dont open chests CHESTS OPEN YOU!!! you know this morning i turned on my pc and all of a suden my mouse attacked

Opening a mimic makes me think of Legend of Zelda chest music. Da da da- AAAHHH!

Legend of Zelda:BoTW had several things like Octoroks with chests on their heads and sometimes rocks. The Talus which just looks like a bunch of rocks.

Eternal Darkness had a few perfectly harmless archaeologists in one of the later levels. Absolutely no demons tearing themselves out of their flesh cocoons in that game.

(<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="277">4:37</a>) Wait wait wait... did you seriously just call the Great Deku Tree an *evergreen* ? O.o

Everything is always a mimic. Trust nothing. That pretty chest over there? Mimic. That strange door? Mimic. That rock? Mimic. Air? Mimic.

This must have been an expensive episode: four broken mugs, and a broken window. 🤑

Prey is literally “don’t trust anyone not even yourself”

Oh wow a single chest in an empty room, come on guys even we aren’t dumb enough to fall for th- *chest opens* ...Sachi you set them to auto-loot didn’t you? I thought it would save time... OH YEAH WERE RACING TO OUR DEATHS AT RECORD SPEED!

"No! The hedgehogs!" *Transitions to segment on Sonic the Hedgehog.* It's top-tier segues like that which set OxBoxTra aside as true professionals.

Im surprised Ellen let Luke talk about dark souls I guess next video will feature a game Ellen loves though I cannot put my finger on what game it would be

I happen to recall a completely harmless glass of wine in I Wanna Be The Guy.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="375">6:15</a> MY CHILDHOOD HAS JUST CAME BACK TO ME ALONG WITH THE MEMORY OF MY SEGA CLASSICS DISK AND PS3

You know who's definitely not a monster? The players! Surely they are a empathetic , passionate and caring bunch that - Umm where are you taking that poor woman Marston, what are you OH MY GOD WHY YOU DO THAT YOU MONSTER I TAKE IT ALL BACK

Where's the piano from Mario 64?

*go's to save point to make sure you are safe... OH GOD NO.

the deku scrubs hide in grass, baby hedgehogs live in grass, the next entry is a sonic game XD

LEAVE A PILE OF LEAVES IN CASE THERES A HEDGEHOG LIVING IN THERE?!?! I'm from Australia. Here you leave a pile of leaves alone in case there's a hoard of temperamental spiders trying to mind their own business. As the best case scenario.

What about in Skyrim, where you're just casually taking in the scenery, guard let down happily walking down the side of a stream and the rocks that you pass by on your morning stroll definitely are not mudcrabs waiting in disguise to assault the adventurer en mass

How about that sword you find at the beginning of Dark Souls 3, you know, the one lodged in a very large fellows chest. You get a cool sword, and nothing bad happens. At all. Or that tree in the Undead Settlement of Dark Souls 3 in the back of that room with the cultists. Grand old time, that was.

There were Mimics as harmless looking chests in Dark Cloud 1 and 2, and Neverwinter, but those weren't as scary as the ones in Dark Souls...holy shit! 😨😓

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="159">2:39</a> Luke, you never told us your grandma owned a mimic. Why didn't you say something sooner?

How about the Voltorbs in the Power Plant in first gen. Pokemon, disguised as sweet, sweet items until the "shocking" truth is revealed...

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="629">10:29</a> “Neat, a treasure chest.” “That’s clearly a trap. Think about it, who would leave treasure just lying around outside?” <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="688">11:28</a> “What is wrong with you?” “If there’s a treasure chest, I open it. I can’t help it.” “Okay. Let’s see how long you survive with that strategy.”

Golden chests in snowy regions in botw are perfectly safe. Ignore the fact that they aren’t affected by magnesis or statsis and just open them! The tentacles are perfectly normal I assure you.

Baby hedgehogs in leaf piles? This is how you know England is a magical land of whimsy and wonder. Growing up in Central Arkansas, we avoided leaf piles because of the copperheads, cottonmouths, and rattlesnakes. All very venomous snakes who would lie in wait in said leaf piles and brush with murderous intent...

let's have a moment of silence for all the cups killed in the making of this video. . . . May they rest in pieces.

Mimicuties are probably some of the hardest monsters in Kid Icarus:Uprising, and I love them

His reaction to the angler was exactly my reaction.

Mimics aren't all bad! They cured me of my kleptomania! Well...mostly. Now I just smash everything with a wrench before quietly scooping the pieces into my pack...

Just like my bedside table, that first appears completely harmless until i walk into it at 3am and stub my toe

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="0">0:00</a> That face you make when you can't tell if you're drunk or high.

The mimics from terraria, they have scared me so many times when I'm exploring new areas of the caves.

8: Jane Douglas. What could be better: a cute gamer with a science background and a sense of humor? Pay no attention to any rumors of twisted experiments on her fellow OxBox or OxTra coworkers, or plots for world domination. I'm sure they're just hearsay...

What about the Voltorb / Electrod in the early Pokemon games? Due to game limitation, they were hidden as items on the ground. Then you come to get that sweet loot and the second after, you were blown up by bombs.

"name a vampire with a beard... oh wait the guy from VAMPYR never mind" LMAO

I once ran a D&D session with a Library full of Mimics disguised as books. However I also had a room full of harmless bean bag chairs for them to Sit and rela- OH CRIT! One of the chairs just ate our bard!

Hmm, let's see... harmless items... stone blocks in Minecraft. Especially the ones in strongholds, that take a bit longer to break, but are utterly normal! They definitely don't house swarms of enough tiny monsters to take out a fully-armored player in seconds...

*No mugs were shattered in the making of this countdown*

Toe Jam & Earl has those perfectly ordinary mailboxes. You use them to purchase useful items, so they're always a welcome sight and never turn out to be really fast monsters in disguise.

Im so glad this list was nice and filled with peaceful objects that wont hurt me

'You win this round, nature...' And with that, Luke begins his transformation into a Captain Planet villain.

You talk about Fallout 4 Far Harbor but not about that Totally Normal Lobster Grill Van That Definitely Doesn't Contain A Giant Hermit Crab, So Don't Worry?

After playing Prey, I have a extreme phobia of coffee cups & chairs 😨

don’t remember what chapter in LEGO Harry Potter, but in the game from memory you can find books in a room that will try and eat you

What about the Stone Talus from Breath of the Wild? You see a large rock on the Great Plateau and decide to approach carrying your finest twigs and rusty sword. Suddenly a rumbling happens and oops “Game Over.” I just wanted rock salt to make my stew taste better.

How could you guys go with Fallout 4's Glow Anglers instead of Swan? A Super Mutant Behemoth disguised as a Swan boat in a pond in a park that only attacks when you step foot in the pond. He draws you in with the promise that there mite be something valuable hidden within this harmless little swan boat, but the second you surrender to your curiosity it kills you, quickly.

Ludex gundyr “Oh hey a statue, oh cool I get a swor- HOLY *You Died* “ He may be the 1st boss of dark souls 3 but it took me about an hour to kill that freak.

I remember a certain type of vase from Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time and Majora's Mask that when you approached them, did absolutely nothing.

Funny hearing Luke call the Deku Scrub "frankly undignified." It's not the one that named a game character "BUTTS."

Yeah! Solaire is pure and nothing bad ever happens to him! (Don’t advance his storyline if you want to remain happy. And don’t tell Luke what happens either)

this channel has become one of my favourites in all of youtube. you 5 are legends.

Fun fact: in the classic novel Dracula by Bram Stoker the count is described as being clean-shaven... except for a long mustache, a depiction that almost no reference to the novel followed. (with one notable exception of Christopher Lee's depiction in a movie)

The trick to Anglers: VATS-scanning whenever you get near water. Also near pesky vans and trucks that totally aren't hermit crabs...

The boxes in RE4. All good things and guaranteed snake free.

Ellen!! That was Mike's Grandma's Coffee Mug!! Couldn't be a Mimic... unless... Mike's Grandma was a Mimic!! :O

If there's something I'd add to the list, it would be the grub mimics from hollow knight. First encounter with one was in that colosseum where after killing a bunch of enemies, it "rewards" you with an adorable who turns out to be a fake. My trust hath been shooketh

what was more surprising; Cave Story being mentioned here or Andy saying 'bullshit' without censor?

I remember my first playthrough of Symphony of the Night, my big brother was watching me play. When I saw the bright purple ball/coffin: "I have a bad feeling about this." Then Succubus appears : "Nope." And then after the fight: "Ha! Told ya there was something fishy going on." My brother was proud ^^

"IT'S A TRAP!!" I wonder how many people wrote that?

I like the doors in Ocarina of Time's Fire Temple that have the easy way forward, so you don't have to find another longer way through.

The Piano from Mario 64. You think it's neat seeing a piano, but when you get close to it, RUN!!!

Dracula has a beard. In Symphony of the Night no less. Andy you miserable pile of secrets.

The pedestal, wall and chest mimics from Enter the Gungeon. With the pedestal and chest mimics, you can see them breathing and blinking but the wall mimics just pop out from nowhere!

I found this video way to late, but you put Cave Story in it. I thought after Dark Souls the video would end and then I was very glad to see it did not. Cave Story is such a wonderful game. Thanks :)

The chest's in Borderlands. They're all great, just 1 button press and they open and give you that lovely loot, ammo, guns, nades, shields. All through the game the chests are always great and give lovely loot. Aside from the occasional one that betrays you by only giving you Common Items, but it is randomised so it'll happen, and they make up for it by giving you great Rare loot sometimes. Then you get to Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep. All the chests look like proper fantasy ones, this is cool you think as you throw open a chest, or spend Elerium to roll d20's to open the chest. You get to a certain room with 3 Chest's in it. Cool, you think, i just got through a nails boss fight. I was only expecting 2 chests since that's the standard, but hey, this is Tiny Tina's game, i'm not arguing. Open 1 chest, get a cool Fireball grenade, go to the 2nd one, pretty good loot, not as good as what you currently have though, still good money when you get to the next vender. Then the final chest, what loot will you have for me oh final 3rd chest. Fully jumped out of my chair when the damn chest started attacking me. I shot every chest i found after that.

Super Mario 2. Every time you beat the boss, you'll have to exit the stage through a weird door that looks like a face of a hawk. I'm pretty sure that door will never try to kill you.

mimics can be anything air,oxygen,a post it note reading "not a mimic",the dungeon master,a cool looking chest,the main villains' armor,your hair,the chair your sitting on.

Banjo Kazooie contained some mistaken objects. In Mad Monster Mansion some of the tombstones would actually be monsters. In Rusty Bucket Bay, some of the ship pipes were some creepy monster that tries to bite you if you got close. Then in Banjo Tooie they introduced the fake Jinjo known as Minjos.

Mimics are the reason gamers have trust issues

I LOVE watching these shows...and I've the freedoms. But I died laughing when luke sounds so mad about Transylvania....

I just remembered the post boxes in Toejam & Earl. Those were terrifying!

Blood stains in the souls series, they are full of valuable information and tips, it's okay if they're in dangerous, hard to reach places, that just means that the info it has is better, right? Right? RIGHT? :""v

Rupee Likes, anyone? There I was, merrily gathering up Rupees, and suddenly one of them turns into a monster and starts guzzling the contents of my wallet! Word to the wise, folks: never pick up a jewel on the ground... at least not without first throwing a boomerang at it.

I literally picked up every “not a mimic” note in prey 😂

late here, but the psychoscope chip in prey that lets you see disguised mimics is a lifesaver. glad i got it as my very first, not sure if that's random or not

Rule #1 of adventuring! Stab every chest before attempting to open it! ....or was that always check for traps.... No, I'm certain it's stab!

The faceless in XCOM 2 who disguise themselves as the very civilians you're sent in to rescue

Ahh yes, I return to the video that convinced me to get prey... Oh how I miss not flinching any time two of the same thing are sitting next to each other, only one without a Post-It note, but they are both harmless... Right?

That one ‘save point’ inside the True Lab from Undertale. Just a regular old save point. Nothing horrifyingly disturbing here.
