I love how they predicted the trolling that the multiplayer option would inevitably bring

Wow, with 6 extra seconds the robots could easily take us over!

6 seconds of trust is still more than any cod game

Whoever came with the Cave Johnson Character and wrote this script for the ads is a pure marketing genius ! Very inspiring :)

that little "yee-ut!" as p-body quickly and efficiently bumps atlas into an incinerator with no second thoughts explains what every single co-op playthrough looks like better than words ever could

When my friend and I played Portal 2, we spent literally 20 minutes killing each other in that block puzzle, where one person needs to press the button.

A FULL SIX SECONDS!

295 people were fired for making THOSE ROBOTS Update: now we will never know how many lore were fired :(

I find it hilarious that Cave Johnson’s narrating this when he died before any of these things were produced

0:40 I'm not gonna lie. That's me in Co-op mode.

I like how the ending perfectly shows how playing in co-op with your best friend usually works

If you pay attention, there's actually a bit of a narrative here. P-Body (I think) is always the "victim" in the trust exercises, and he's the one who pushed Atlas (I think) into the pit. So he actually had a motive aside from just giving six extra seconds of trust.

Gotta love the humor... It's so smart. The first Portal changed everything about puzzle games. with its unique, immersive and mysterious laboratory scenarios(and a user-friendly FPS view) This game honestly tested my brain in ways i didnt know were possible, haha(Vanilla Crazy Cake

i love how accurate this is to playing actual co-op

I always loved the detail that Atlas and P-Body are made from a personality core and a turret, with arms and legs stuck on. Aperture Science will save money at any opportunity.

... More proof that these two are more friends than many humans could ever be. Seriously, if I could just be rebuilt like that, I would have had my friends throw me into all kinds of lethal situations. And I would have laughed with them and dragged them in with me as I plummeted to my (temporary) doom.

Best video ever. The entire thing is amazing, and the subtle jokes like "creating a foundation of mutual respect", meanwhile P-body is the only one ever in danger until the last scene. :D

Our data clearly shows that humans- *punch* -can not be trusted... XD

"The simulated bond of artificial friendship" Oh, just like most of my high school friends then

P-body's expression at thee end it s like: "DID I DO GOOD!? :D"

I rofl everytime I watch that robot hitting himself with the pan

BAM! Robots gave 6 extra seconds of cooperation, good work robots

I love the detail of how P-Body is the one always being put through the dangerous parts of the trust exercises, which is probably why she pushed Atlas at the end as a middle finger to him lol

0:40 I love how proud and happy P-Body looks after literally commiting robot-slaughter

I just love how he delivers the "Humans... can not be trusted." :-)

It’s amazing that Aperture was able to make things Black Mesa was only scratching the surface of decades before the resonance cascade event….and they use it for the dumbest things possible.

I'm the guy that just kicked myself after realizing I had seen this game on the shelf and decided not to buy it.

"and bam! they give us six more seconds of co-operation" I laughed so hard I think I almost puked

All right, another Investment Opportunity video! I'm loving Cave Johnson and the P-Body and Atlas duo in these videos along with the humor and visual style in them. So trust is important in the actual co-op mode. Without it, you can't progress in co-op. Anyway, I liked the usage of the Frying Pan from L4D2 and the preorder Scuba Gear. Valve also has been showing the duo running with their Portal Guns, and yet something bad happens to one of them. Good work in making us hyped for Portal 2, Valve.

Atlas had it coming for leading P-Body into a LaunchPad and nearly burning its head off with a laser.

Cave Johnson here, fact the key to any cooperative test is trust. And as our data clearly shows, humans cannot be trusted. The solution? Robots. Then fire the guys who made those robots and build better robots. Then run those robots through a regimen of trust exercises, creating a foundation of mutual respect reinforced by the simulated bonds of artificial friendship. Inspiring stuff. And finally, we put that trust to the test. Bam! Robots gave us 6 extra seconds of cooperation.

I can't stop rewatching this part 0:19

i love how they reference the pancake flipping robot. excellent job, valve

Cave Johnson is like my science teacher.

me: KZfaq: Look at this nearly decade old commercial for a game you enjoyed.

0:18 What makes me a good BotPan? IF I WERE A BAD BOTPAN I WOULDN'T BE MAKIN' PANCAKES!!!

You can't imagine how hard I cracked up when he said ''the solution: robots'' while the robot hits itself with a pan xD

The stuff that Valve puts out never ceases to amuse me, amaze me and keep me as a customer.

Spend billions of dollars in investigation and development of cooperative bots for 6 extra seconds of cooperation in a test = success! I love science!

wow 6 extra seconds xD

You guys have the best humor of any game companies I know. And, if a 45-year-old housewife mother of two (my mom) just laughed at this, you know that it's good.

I'm sure that Valve already knows everyone wants Episode 3 and that they know what they are doing.

A perfect representation of how real players play.

Just want to give props to the animator in the william tell scene. Excellent expression for a robot. Seriously. Well done.

A FULL SIX SECONDS AND TWO ROBOTS 6 DIVIDED BY 2 THREE IS 3 PORTAL 3 CONFIRMED

I can’t be the only one who thinks Atlas and P-Body are really cute, right?

Caution: rogue robots.

0:19 literally me every day

Love how a cake ad appears when watching this video! Is clicking the ad though a trap or a lie... hmmmm. lol

If you count the time that the humans and robots are in the testing chamber you'll see that the robots killed one another earlier in the 4th second in the chamber...

They really couldn't have found a better voiceover actor for Cave Johnson. From JJJ in Spiderman, through Chief Pope in The Closer, and a shrink in Law and Order... to this. But his talent is undeniable.

This video is one of many that unironically made me persue a career in robotics and engineering

I like how the robots gave 6 extra seconds of cooperation compared to humans even though they only lasted 4 seconds

Thank you Valve for making your own ads! They're almost as entertaining as your games! ^_^

I still can’t get “Caution: Rogue Robots” out of my brain after watching this.

Came back to watch this in 2020, I miss this wholesome stuff ❤️

jk Simmons is a good voice actor

The humor and gameplay in this game is top notch.

This entire video sums up me and my friend playing this game. Good job VALVe!

This perfectly encapsulates what it feels like to play multiplayer...

It is truly amazing at how well these robots can navigate the test chambers, considering that they dont have any depth perception.

If aperture science is that broke investment wise, then how did they make a fully functional portal device??? Usually stuff like that costs trillions of research money.., that's what I've always wondered

0:40 ok this got me when it was first was released and it uh, still does.

I like how Atlas is pointing and waving even though P-body is blindfolded.

Valve is seriously so good at making awesome games

0:14 Oh, look! It's the couple from the Valentine's Day vid- O_o

Tbh Aperture Science would be the most profitable tech company in the world if it existed in our world.

Six extra seconds?! THAT'S INCREDIBLE!!

'humans cannot be trusted' *me* Wow cave, you sure did your homework in historyclass,

0:20 Wheatley is designed to be a moron for real lol

I timed it, and it actually is almost EXACTLY six seconds from the robots walking out of the door to the time that one gets shoved in.

11 years ago and it still awesome!

Humans can't be trusted... What's sad is id do the same to most of my friendsXD

6 seconds? not quite my tempo

0:20 - The Roll Cage skin from when you pre-ordered Portal 2! :D

I don't know why but I just love the way Cave Johnson says "Robots"

Can someone explain me something: Why other words like "wood" or "book" are pronounced as _wʊd_ and _bʊk_, and in words like "cooperation" or "zoology", the two "oo" are pronounced different?

GLaDOS gave you 6 picoseconds before she killed you with neurutoxins... its 6 picoseconds humans took 7 picoseconds to do the exact same thing.

Guy: Makes robots Cave Johnson: YOU'RE FİRED!

Goddamn, 6 extra seconds? That's like almost an entire Über

valve not only knew people would be trolling and team killing their partner, but they leaned into that with their marketing. the saying of "the AAA industry are just playing catch up to valve" holds true for even their commercials

and this is why I love portal😂

I love how Cave Johnson sounds like Jay Jonah Jameson

Shockingly accurate to how Dan and Arin play

"humans cannot be trusted" considering how every time i try to play any co op i just get murdered by my teammate, that seems about right

Challenge: find a comment from 2019.

10 years ago, the Gamecube was released. It was the biggest revolution in cube based technology, since the Weighted Storage cube.

6 extra seconds of cooperation GENIUS

The most replayed part of the video is atlas whacking himself with a pan is the best

J.K Simmons here. Fact: The key to not screw up my band is to play in the correct tempo.

This is the best one I say. I just love J.K. Simmons' sense of deadpan humor! Why is he not in more movies?

I didn't think of it that way. Have other people play your courses while you manipulate them? PURE GENIUS! Why aren't you working at Aperture yet?

My trust on fellow humans playing Portal 2 co-op with me is... variable, to say the least. Surprisingly, though, I end up with more success if I play as ATLAS with the co-op buddy being P-body.

I just can't stop watching that scene where Altas's core keeps smacking himself with the frying pan. lol

6 seconds??? DAMN THATS INCREDIBLE!

0:19 to 0:23, legit 90's aperture. Love it.

after those 10 years, started to pop on my mainscreen

0:18 The solution..... **snap** ROBOTS! Blue robot: **bam bam bam bam** **falls**

@omlas6 the 'main' storyline continues with Chell, at the end of Portal 1 it seemed like she escaped, but in a comic like thingy (made by valve i think) it is explained what happens next. And in portal 2 you continue from that point on. and as a side campaign you can play with a friend in coop mode. But because there were no 2 humans, valve thought it to be fitting to make you play as robots instead =D coop this campaign is after main one, for GlaDoSS mentions she will continue with testing

Somehow they perfectly summed up playing Co-op in this trailer
