Hey Jon, Banjo''s Home.

10:49 he was actually on key the whole cover

"We get it, Rareware,you used to be cool!" That's my response whenever Disney, of any other company, packs their stuff with references.

This video is an exemplary sample of this early 2010s era of KZfaq Comedy. The text on screen. The hyperactive editing. The crazy lore surrounding the reviewer. The "loud, silly, and crazy is funny". It's a legit vintage and this video particularly exemplifies these traits if you ask me. It's weird to have had this for a decade and looking back on how this stuff is crystalized in these videos yet has slowly developed away from it. It's still fun to watch and I have to wonder if we will have a wave of content that calls back to this style in the future.

Almost 7 years later and he's in Smash. Amazing

Jontron’s videos’ age well, like a fine wine.

There's nothing worse for the outcome of a video game than the devs being told to "broaden the demographics." Those words have killed many franchises who's publishers just couldn't just be content with their niche but devoted audiences.

this is that one jontron video that just stays engraved in your brain no matter how long it's been and no matter how hard you try to forget about it. that is how you'd call this video a certified classic.

June 12, 2012: This. June 12, 2019: Banjo in Smash.

I remember reading somewhere that the main reason that Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts had cars in it was because while making the original game (Banjo-Threeie) they made the worlds too big and thought "Hey, the player could travel around faster in a car" so they reworked the entire game to center around the cars instead.... we were so close...

Every time I watch another Jontron video, I keep finding where all the memes came from

Me when I first watched this video: I really miss Banjo-Kazooie. Me watching this video right now: I really miss old Jontron.

To this day, I believe the “Always love you bit” is Jon’s best moment

"moutains cant be friends." ~JonTron, 2012

To think that Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has made this game relevant again. That's the closest thing to a sequel to this game.

You know it's a piece of youtube history when it points to above the video for the "In the Title" joke. O:

E3 2019 proved one fact: Mountains CAN be friends

10:45 a legendary meme was made..

Peak KZfaq. Holy shit I miss this era so much

“From that seat you’ll never jolt, Until you’re done with Nuts and Bolts!” Goes *hard*

Me coming back to watch this after Nintendo’s E3 2019 Direct gives me hope for Banjos future...

7 years later, Banjo-Kazooie make their way into Smash Bros.

Man idk how I've been on KZfaq this long and I'm just now finding out about JonTron. This is fucking amazing content!

After all this years still my favourite JonTron Video.

4:33 ah, back in the days when the title was at the TOP of the video.

“Oh hey Jacques why are you green” MOST UNDERRATED PART OF THE VIDEO.

I love how nostalgic that intro theme is

"oh, hey Jacques. Why are you green?" Gets me every time.

I just realized so many JonTron memes come from this single video. Wow, after all these years I’ve found the holy grail

Plot twist; this game was actually made by Gruntilda in an attempt to get revenge on everyone who played Banjo-Kazooie.

Tears of the kingdom looks great

10 years… i cant believe it! This Video is so nostalgic for me! Thank you Jon Tron!

How can this be 8 YEARS OLD when it has one of most best songs in it AND IIIII HOLY S**T WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOUUUU

Here after they made their way into Smash Ultimate. How time flies.

Holy shit. Almost 11 years. I watched this nonstop as a teen, and come back to it from time to time. It's so nostalgic and still pretty damn funny

the time to revisit Nuts & Bolts is near...

Banjo is in Smash now, that's why we're all here EDIT: Okay, seriously guys, stop fighting, this comment was made during the time Banjo joined Smash.

7 years later Banjo Kazooie would become relevant again

I've been in a massive slump and haven't laughed for weeks. This video changed that.

So that’s where “and i will always love you” and “i did it. I saved the world” memes came from.

Tells you how old the video is by saying "Look at the title of the video" And points *UP*

10:49 For future reference.

Here again now that Nintendo announced the sequel to Nuts & Bolts at the end of the February 2023 Nintendo direct.

This video used to make me die of laughter when it was released, but think humours different now, and I’m not 13 haha. Still love it.

"No, no, no...Gamers just want to shoot things...We're broadening the demographic." When you realize L.O.G. is an allegory for Microsoft taking creative control of the project...

I never realized that the ending scene was a Birdemic reference.

10:43 Everyone after the new TotK trailers

This review is currently 10 years old, still coming back after all this time.

I come back YEARS later and still lose my marbles at 'THeyRE aLL AboUT tO TopPLe ooVER BuT tHeY neVeR DoOOooOoOooo

You know how you can tell if a video is old? 4:30 If a finger points to the upper left for the title of the video.

never having played the originals, this game was literally my absolute favourite for so many years. in fact it still is one of my favourites... kinda want to dig it out and play it again. can't remember how many times i've completed this game 100%, seriously. it is by no means a bad game its just not anything like the old games, and appeals to an entirely different sort of player. that's most of the problem.

The drama, the thrill, the hero overcoming the villian of evil badly made games... JonTron's videos have everything!

10:52 i don't think people understand how fucking impressive it is to scream-sing in key.

This is what happens when they resurrect old classic franchises. They forget what made it appealing.

I like that the joke at 4:32 gets worse with every KZfaq layout update lmao Shortly after the video was released they put titles on the bottom of the video. Until 2024 it was there, now it's to the right. Stay tuned for 2030 where they inexplicably choose to put it at the lower right of the video lol

2:25 - 5:56 This entire scene right here is what made me into a Jontron fan I dunno there's just something about this scene that always puts a smile on my face It's really nice to see Jon talk about something he's passionate about Something you don't see a lot now days

There should be a Banjo-Kazooie style game with Jon and Jacques as the playable characters

THE video that defined JonTron as an internet personality whose force was to be reckoned with. Every line hits through your funny bone, and it shatters it while you die laughing at every quotable part of the video. Literally a classic video of KZfaq.

Here after the Feb23 LoZ: TotK trailer........ They have fucking CARS!!!!

Had to come revisit this after the new Tears of the Kingdom trailer today

AND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII HOLY SHIT WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

It's sad that Banjo Kazooie was run over by it's own car. Prepare for Yooka Laylee.

Love watching youtube nowadays and seeing old videos make reference to the title being in the top right corner and its just empty space

I wish he went back to video games ..

Okay, I wish to clarify why many a Banjo-Kazooie fan was ticked off at this game. I can name a few good reasons. 1. False advertising: Rare released a trailer of a new hi-def B-K game and it looked like the classics would return better than ever. What we got from the finished product was NOT the game we were hoping for, but a racing game with LEGO cars that should have been its own game that had NOTHING to do with Banjo-Kazooie. 2. It's not a spinoff: If this was a spinoff like the Mario Kart games, I would have let this slide. But guess what? It's a direct sequel that threw away what made the old games good. 3. It hates its predecessors: Yes, it's a B-K game, but it doesn't have its spirit. There are several instances where Nuts and Bolts looks back at the past games and thinks they're either washed up or that platformers are things of the past (in spite of OTHER platformers doing pretty dang well *cough*Mario Galaxy*cough*). What JonTron showed was only a HINT of the "take thats" to the past that the game throws out. 4. It's confused: The game seems to want to be a blend of racing, build-it, and platformer, but this is an act that is nigh-impossible to accomplish. Build-it games require time for building things, which KILLS racing games and platformers. Platformers require worlds to explore, but racing games and build-it games take away the details, characters, and exploration-based levels that make platformers fun. Last but not least, racing games are meant to be fast and finished quickly, but platformers require time to complete fully and explore, while build-it games require time to create objects. The result? This game is a confused mess and a huge insult. Plain and simple.

Hands down one of the best episodes.

13:07 Oh god that precise foreshadowing

This is still my favorite Jontron video ever

7 years later, I still wanna know what legend of zelda modern warfare would look like..

4 Years, man it went by so fast.

came here after watching the direct and thinking of the good times

9:20 The best “DAFUQ??” I’ve ever heard.

4:30 "look at the title of the video" *points to top of player* TIME HAS PASSED.

I can't wait for Yooyka-Laylee: Screws N Nails

Anyone else looking forward to legend of zelda: nuts and bolts?

You know JonTron is timeless when people are still commenting over a decade later

10:49 I NEVER KNEW JONTRON WAS THE CREATOR OF THE MEME I FEEL SO BAD I NEVER KNEW THIS BEFORE

Still hoping that Jon will make a full cover of "I will always love you" someday

whos watching this in 2016

We kinda got Super Mario 64 city simulator, where his hat got a huge buff.

This has so many voice clips that made their way into memes

When JonTron said something about the title and then the finger pointed *up,* where the title used to be in KZfaq videos... Took me a minute to realize, but when I did, nostalgia hit me like a punch in the stomach

Amazing how ill always end up rewatching and binging on Jontrons vids at least once, twice or even three times a year. They never ever get old to me. Not many creators do that for me.

This was one of my favorite games growing up. I would make a bunch of star wars ships and have imaginary dogfights with them. I would put the self destruct in too so I could get shot down too.

"JonTron taks a look back at Banjo Kazooie - Nuts and Bolts." HEY GUYS LOOK, JON MADE A MISTAKE ON THE INTERNET!!!

1:55 Proof that Jaques is in the new videos, even if we can't see him.

I just going through old videos I used to watch and I realized I think you're the only KZfaqr who I am still subbed too from back in 2012. That sir is worth a ton and is unbelievable really! Thank you for what you do dude

It's crazy how much the editing style of this video still holds up today!

And so Rockington sacrificed himself to contain the evil in that disc, holding it in a physical prison at the bottom of the ocean.

2002: Rareware bought by Microsoft 2020: Bethesda bought by Microsoft

Here after the Smiling friends with Gwimbys episode.

cant believe this is 10 yrs old now

Do i suspect a birdemic reference in the end?

Almost 7 years later and the description still says "Jon taks a look back..."

I cannot believe this video is almost a decade old. Truly one of the most impactful gaming related videos ever made, and honestly I still think this is his best video (by a decent margin at that).

A true Banjo 3 is now like JonTron reviewing games in 2022 or even beyond: It shall never happen again, and it makes me sad.

I still hope Banjo Threeie becomes a thing Every time I think, hear or see Banjo Kazooie my skin tingles

4:33 is funny because the title is no longer above the video.

Fun fact: It was actually Rare that developed a fair share of LJN titles. LJN was merely a publisher. Just in case someone needed evidence that no company is immune to creating garbage.

I cant belive zelda became nuts and bolts 2!!!!!!!!
