Thank you for taking a look at this channel, for believing in this character and supporting my work. Louis x p.s. remember to floss

The next time my dentist asks if I brush regularly I'll be sure to tell them I have a "Minty Bukakke" twice a day.

In the immortal words of Homer Simpson: "Sometimes the only way to feel good about yourself is make other people look bad. And I'm tired of making other people feel good about themselves"

Maybe I'm just assuming due to my own depression and issues but I can tell you might be a little bit down in the dumps and I'm going to let you know that you're the brightness in a lot of people's days including myself

as usual utter bobbins game, fantasticly presented, with all of the Octy humor we love.

In 2000, I was brushing my teeth in the kitchen sink of my studio flat in Norwich. The water knocked the toothpaste off the brush, it hit the sink, bounced up and then went straight into my eye. My eye was minty fresh. It also stung like hell.

The excellent fact about the first ever advertisement being for toothpaste.... did not get me laid. Darn.

I appreciate you Octavius. Thank you for doing your thing.

Oral hygiene-based ZX Spectrum games is one of those "weird that it happened twice" things. Also that 'It's Only Rock 'n' Roll' is a band management sim, and I assumed it was the one Chris Sievey made but it turns out it's not, so that means there are THREE band management sims for the 8-bit computer market, but only one of them features "Bill Collins"

This is exactly why I love these retro games, there's a lot of very unique games and even the poor graphics meant you had to use your imagination more, that always made me connect more with the games somehow

Never thought I'd be jamming out to a toothpaste rave banger on a Tuesday afternoon, but here we are. And I'm here for it.

A new video from Octavius always puts a smile on my face. Hopefully we will see some video from Ashens/Nostalgia Nerd's Bar in the future.

There's like a Canadian animated short series in the 80's about bathroom items brought to life and their adventures that would play in the early morning, and anytime I see an electric toothbrush, I still picture that blue dude on the wheels whizzing about.

Just as my own depression is flaring up (crushing down?) along comes Octy with a new video to distract me for a bit. Thank you.

xD Imagine someone today at a AAA Publisher comes to the office and says: lets make a game about toothpaste tubes shooting on toothbrushes xD

I learned about self-help and oral hygiene today. As far as British taxes go (I'm from the US), I only know what I've picked up from Red Dwarf and Black Books. Neither of those mentioned latex clad adjustors.

It would be really neat to see an indi developer turn this game's absurd concept into a full-on Parodius style scrolling Shooter.

*10/10 would brush my teeth again*

My grandfather was a B17 tail-gunner in ww2 and he passed away this week. RIP Corporal E.T. Flood and bless you for your service.

Got to say I love the rave bit make me nearly choke on my tea 😂

Please don't stop, your videos are top notch. We love ya, don't ever forget or doubt that, thank you

"A million dollars isn’t cool. You know what’s cool?" "A bill-" "Toothpaste!"

Brutally honest art at 10 minutes. You earn your comedy crown ;) Take care

There was a toothpaste game for the Atari 2600 called Plaque Attack, it was not bad.

How do you write these great scripts and deliver them in such a bravura way? This video was just the thing to take my mind off work and my boss, who is being a total Tiger R-Zone. Bravo!

Thank you for the information, Octy. I immediately went out into the street and told the first woman I saw that Gibbs SR was the first advert on UK TV and got instantly laid (out). 👍

4:30 if you like "stupid and epic" you will love GloryHammer - just came back from their concert tonight (no joke, in Australia) and they are incredible. Epic Metal music about Space Dwarves fighting evil Wizards. 10:05 I have a strong feeling Lady Thermonuclear is really good at motivating people to do their taxes and you should have her around more often. Just to make sure you get yours done. 13:11 I know exactly what you mean and I totally agree. There's a nostalgia about the naivety of how people went about making games back then. Finally, I see comments from 2 weeks ago but the upload time was 1 hour ago. I know what that means. I've actually come back to edit the comment to say I've subscribed to your Patreon.

You make the worst games entertaining, always fantastic to see what you do next.

I think it's weird how toothpaste ads always show someone using triple the pea-sized amount the label directs you to use. Imagine a paracetamol commercial where some guy chugs half a bottle and then flashes a big smile until his liver explodes.

K-Tel is infamous in the US for its commercials/adverts that would usually air on daytime TV in the '70s and '80s. They sold a lot of compilation albums of disco hits.

Escape from Castle Colditz... so we can get back to quality toothpaste!

Jesus, this is bizarre. Great video, Octy. I'm happy there are people reminding us that Europe's early years with gaming were weird as all fuck.

I do love the deep dives into the weirdness of ZX Spectrum games. I played plenty as a young 'un, but there were so many more I never saw.

Ahhh yes, Minty Bukakke - the name I used to dance under... ;o)

3 kids and a mortgage dracula had me in stitches described like that!

My zx spectrum 48k+ was my prized possession as a kid. It's nice to watch these videos. Takes me back. Keep it up!

Today I learned that I soon need to get a tooth yanked out, get a hole drilled into the bone and get an implant screwed in. Then I got home and this video was the first notification I got. ITS OKAY I KNEEL AND SHOW HUMILITY

Thanks for another awesome review!

You rock. Thank you for the fun video!

Be right back, starting a punk band called ‘Minty Bukkake’.

What? Tubes of bloody toothpaste! My god it was a different era back then wasn't it.

The last game shown looks more like a lightbulb factory in hell than a mouth. In the middle, that's Satan's desk, where he sits watching you work.

Re-upload? No matter, I'd missed this one so I'm glad to be watching it. Thanks Louis!

Fun Fact of the Day : Castle Colditz is a Renaissance castle in the town of Colditz near Leipzig. "The castle gained infamy as the site of Oflag IV-C, a prisoner-of-war camp during World War II for "incorrigible" Allied officers who had repeatedly attempted to escape from other camps." So yeah the swastikas make sense. Seems like it's kind of like Wolfenstein just without the fun of being able to kill thousands of nazis. I wish current Americans had your aversion to the swastika but instead we have politicians quoting Nazis.

As a former Spectrum user, that Dracula game looks as if it was written in BASIC with the Spectrum's old block graphics. They gave you an effective resolution of 64x48 pixels. But you didn't have to do all that tricky messing about with machine code!

Minty Bukkake should be the name of a band. I’d definitely hire them for my wedding reception

My brain couldn't fathom the idea of a game about toothpaste tubes where it's NOT a licensed tie-in for a specific brand. But honestly, that's a big part of the charm with some of these old games, and the modern indie scene too. People just...come up with stuff. And then it's a video game. I can dig it.

A visit from the HMRC person would be much more preferable to emails. Especially as they send each one to me twice.

😂 I had this one, it was nuts just made me want to play chuckie egg, as for 8 bit bangers I would still opt for hero quest. The music from the spect version lives rent free in my head. Back in the late 90s me an a mate played it through his stereo an blew his speakers 😂

Just spent 14 minutes engrossed (ooh er) watching you talk about a 'bobbins' game. And the rave scene was a masterpiece. As a content creator I appreciate how much editing went into this video 👏 and yeah do what you love ❤

Thanks for another top-notch video about spectrum weirdness. You always make shite games more interesting for us to see. Loved the toothpaste rave bit. 😂 Best KZfaq channel of all time, keep on keeping on! XxX

A bit of light in the dark, I needed a laugh today. Great vid as always 🎸👽

As kids, there were two toothpastes that stood out in my memory - Signal, which is quite neutral in its taste and can still be bought, and SR, which, if you rinse after (and you shouldn't, kids), feels like one of the icy peaks of the packaging have been forcibly shoved into your mouth. Like trying to chew half a dozen Airwave "pieces" at the same time.

This random Kiwi loves you and is so glad you're back writing stuff. It makes my day when you post and it's much appreciated! xx

These were games in a time when anything was interesting, being 12 in 1984 and playing any game on a computer was fun... like taking a needle and thread making your own stitches onto your body for fashion ....

Just want let you know that your channel is my favourite. Pure gold. I mean the games are trash but you are gold.

in Denmark we had a DOS game called "Harald Hårdtand" where you controlled a sentient tooth with a bowtie armed with a tube of toothpaste running around inside someones mouth shooting bacteria and stuff..... the soundtrack to Battle of the Toothpaste Tubes is better though....

Ahh something I forgot I ever had, Castle Colditz. I used to play Molar Maul with my dad. Lifelong Speccy fan here 😊

Wow... I used the awesome fact about the first product advertised on British TV and... I GOT LAID! Thank you, Occa, you're a goddess!

Another delightful review of a not so delightful game, great stuff.👍

Smashing video 🙌🏻 she never disappoints

The rave scene was brilliant! I mean, all your work is, but that in particular cracked me up!

Yes! A toothpaste rave! Probably filled with dentists and the like. That is something I didn't know I needed probably because I really don't need it. Octavius did make a catchy tune out of it, though. 🙂

6:27 Me *in the voice of George Takei* "Oh, my."

Very few people know that Atic Attack was originally called Tampon Trouble.

3:22 I've screenshotted this and will be using it for the entirety of my next zoom call.

The title sounded weirdly familiar but as soon as I saw the gameplay it dragged up a whole bundle of previously-repressed memories from the depths of my brain. Oh god...I OWNED this game as a kid! I PLAYED this game as a kid! I also had no idea its creator also made "Soul of a Robot", which I loved even though I was absolutely rubbish at it. So thanks for enlightening me on that, Octavius. :) That said I'm going to now go and find a nice, quiet corner in which to crumble into dust.

That rave was EPIC!

That rave scene had me in stitches! Great video as always!

Hope you're doing well Louis 💜 I always appreciate Octavius videos, they are always so cozy and fun.

Good video as always and insanely good beat for the dance scene!

That Molar game was the second game I ever played - on a display computer at a department store. I kept losing at it. But my total playing time would be about 15 minutes and I was 7 at the time. But I'll always remember the game, even if I didn't know the name of it until now.

not gonna lie, thats definitely the best reminder I've had to sort out my paperwork for the tax.

Cambridge, wow i am impressed 👍

Holy hell...today is a good day! New octy

Ktel was the sign that Christmas was coming,that and ronco ,their ads always ran for the xmas season😍 total tat but nostalgic now

Brilliant writing in this one Octy, I like the call backs too.

Mint content as always mate, a pleasure to follow you

What a hillarious review! will come back to this channel more often!!

I just don't want to is a fair and honest enough reason to not do something 😂

Can't believe someone released this game instead of getting him to make another based on something that would appeal to people

As one who has to go the dentist every 6 weeks and use a Fluoride toothpaste so potent that I can only get it from them directly, I find the concept of this game actually visually satisfying. Sure it's a fever dream but I like it.

"It's only rock n roll" was pretty good way back when.

1:13 Wooow, look at the cover, it's like lightsabres but with tooth paste! 4:54 Or this. 😀 3:21 So *that's* where that picture on Instagram came from. 6:05 Bloody hell, that thing is the size of a hairbrush! 7:59 Toothpaste Wars maybe? 9:01 Hm. Looks oddly familiar. 10:16 HAHAHAHAHA!!! 11:50 No no no, I think you're onto something big here! 12:38 The graphics are a bit... well, Speccy but gameplay-wise it's a lot better than Battle of the Toothpaste Tubes. And the tiny toothbrush is kinda cute. Thank you for the video, was DISTILLED as always! ❤

What an amazing channel. You're so fun!

If I go to the club now and I do not see Octavius twerking with a couple of life sized toothpaste tubes, I shall be utterly despondant.

Another awesome video. Just what I needed

The toothpaste rave at the end was awesome

Yes...Thanks for another great video Octavius!! Having an Octavius marathon today to give me a great start to the working week bouncing in full of positivity! You really help with individuals who may suffer from any sort of mental health!!! Keep up your AmAzInG work..... ❤✔️🙏x

This was a particularly funny one! The rave and tax sketches caused an actual lol, almost a rofl

The dancing scene was hilarious :)

Lady Thermonuclear

Love your videos, you're awesome!

"minty bukka ke" made me guffaw at first.... however when you contextualized it with your self-awareness speech later, it made me sad that I could not only visualize this but that I've probably actually seen it too. So much for peppermint lattes.

Great video as always from my favourite KZfaqr 👍

Another great vid. Thanks!

I stumbled onto this channel by accident and now I'm so glad I did. So many enjoyable videos to watch and getting to know Octavius. So far, she looks great and I hope you continue with these awesome content. And yeah, about this trash game, it kinda reminds me of clusterfuck shovelware games like Meme Run on the Wii U, and I don't want ANYTHING to ever remind me of that game again, lol.

I love the rave!

Oh yes....the 80's, where game designers had Vodka and Ketamine for Breakfast.....

A new Octavius AND a new ashes video up the same day? Is it my birthday? (it's not. Still, it's nice)
