i fucking died when i saw pepsiman beating league of legends and overwatch in viewer count

years of speedrunning has brought us to this moment

Guys, there's some very, VERY subtle product placement in this game. I'm not going to say where, but it's really quite ingenious.

PEPSI FOR TV GAME

"Do not worry about those very dead people on the side of the road. They are very dead, so it's ok." That's a line that sounds like it's straight out of Portal.

Pepsi executives: "This speedrun is great chance to promote our product to gamers!" theboyks: "I'm gonna try to dodge every Pepsi can." Pepso executives: "..."

Those donations are golden. "CURSES! FIZZED AGAIN! I'LL GET YOU YET, PEPSIMAN!" -Cokedude

Being in the audience for this was maybe one of the greatest moments of my life.

Pepsiman Take me by the hand Lead me to the land That you understand

There's basically two places in America, according to Japanese games and media: new york, and the desert

"So this is actually the highest APM that we'll ever see in GDQ. That is, Advertisements Per Minute."

The best part of this was the recognition of the actor and his twitter feed blowing up after this. He acknowledged twice and changed his picture in commemoration.

You might say it's a shitty game, but meanwhile this run had the most hype and donations in this years SGDQ.

Run starts @ 1:35 Hype starts @ 0:00

Watching this while drinking Cola makes me think that i'm a traitor to humanity.

Next Year, they need the guy in the Pesi costume to be running on a treadmill for the whole run while drinking Pepsi.

I see Pepsiman attended the Promethus School of Running Away from Things.

Mike butters needs to be on the couch with Pepsiman and this runner at the next AGDQ or SGDQ event!!!! #gdq work your magic!!!!

This speedrun has inspired me to go as Pepsiman this Halloween.

We want a new pepsiman game !!!!!!

Easily my favorite run of the whole event. The crowd interaction, the absurdity of the game, the skill in such a simple game, everything about this was awesome.

This game is what inspired Hideo Kojima to create his 2019 masterpiece MonsterEnergyMan

PEPSIMAAAAN!!

PEPSIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNN

Zero Escape creator did 3D modeling for this game, and I can't get that out of my head.

Pepsi is the powerup, Pepsi is the goal, Pepsi is the enemy, Pepsi is the hero, Pepsi is the cause and the cure. Pepsi is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. Pepsi will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the Pepsi of life freely.

Fuck the Crash Bandicoot trilogy remasters... ...a Pepsiman PS4 remaster is where it's at!

when you realize this man has trained for years for this moment

I never realized how much of Sonic Adventure 2 was inspired by Pepsiman, the alltime PS1 classic!

When the video starts theye at $681,795, when it ends they're at $695,305 Pepsiman brought in $14,000 :D

I love how so much more people are cheering and laughing because this probably the best meme game ever

Pepsi for SGDQ

I'm so glad I stayed up a little later than usual and saw this entire run. This is probably one of the best runs I've ever seen, and I have a new love for Pepsiman.

The fact that Pepsiman himself is on the couch is amazing. Imagine playing Mario Maker and Charles Martinet is cheering you on

Easily one of the best runs I've ever seen

After watching this I went out and bought a pepsi. This was the most meta advertising campaign ever.

There is. A f*cking. KZfaq icon. For this game... EPIC

Now to start petitioning for that sequel.

"Those people are VERY dead...so it's fine."

The most refreshing run of SGDQ this year.

PEPSI FOR PIZZA

I drank a Sprite while watching this and I've never felt more shame.

Wow.. this game is very nostalgic for me and that final stage was hard as fuck. But seriously, the speed runs, the mascot, the narrative, the game itself, the crowd, the trivia and the donation is fucking awesome.... god damn this is a blast!!! So many good things happened in a single run I just can't help but feel really, really happy. Thank you

Pepsiman got hundreds of us wanting to try out speedruns that day. It also made many of us very thirsty. For Pepsi!

I was drinking coke while watching this. It all somehow felt very wrong..

Who Is the guy in the Pepsiman suit? He deserves to be given the Nobel peace prize

PEPSI MANNNNNN!!! PEP PEP PEP PEP PEP PEPSI MANNNNNNNNNN!

So many good memories from my childhood, playing this on Saturday afternoon with my brother and a Pepsi, of course! Thank you!

.... Holy City Escape from Sonic Adventure 2, Batman... Tell me I am not the only one that sees it during the skateboard then the pepsi can chasing you... And this came out before sonic adventure 2...

26:56 The time on the top left changes to "refreshing"

Great run by theboyks. Too bad I woke up RIGHT after this run ended. This game is actually really well known here in Indonesia, despite never being released anywhere outside of Japan. It was so much fun playing this game with friends back in the day.

ProtonJon... What have you done to the gaming community?...

I used 39minutes and 57seconds of my life watching this. AND I LOVE IT

I love the fact that they got THE actual pepsiman to be on the couch. Brilliant.

certainly a better marketing plan than slapping emotes on the back of every bottle.

pepsiman guest character for injustice 2. a true god among men

We need a sequal of this magnificant game.

Never played or heard about Pepsiman before.. now I love it!

Best run 10/10

this was one of those games that at first you thought will suck but then you got addicted to. i had a really good time playing this.

And 17 years later, the marketing campaign finally begins to pay off...

Pepsiman watches man do his game in 24 minutes and 47 seconds.

Just listening to the couch people giggle to themselves is wonderful.

Stand Name: REFRESHING Stand User: PepsiCo

The runner says that there are certain levels that are difficult For me, EVERY level will be difficult as I wouldn't be able to restrain myself from laughing. Oh, Japan!

Rewatching it the thrid time, need a soda now ...

I think this is the most entertaining VOD I've watched of GDQ

Hypest SGDQ game EVER!!!!

This is the most shameless yet genius advertisement I've ever seen.

12:56

Thanks utube for recommending this video at this time. Really enjoy the video~

im in tears.......this video is so powerful

And on that day, the greatest speedrun in GamesDoneQuick happened.

When is Pepsiman getting his own Netflix series???

This is my favorite AGDQ video ever.

This is the pinnacle of civilization. Awesome job, Boyks

Man, I wish they'd kept the rest of the end where the crowd stuck around to stay hype for the Pepsiman theme song. But, still, it was an experience I'll never forget, a moment in time that defines me as a person, a sign that not all is lost in this world and that we are never truly alone. PEPSI ONLY MY CHOICE.

I went and actually played this today and I was surprised at how difficult a game this actually is.

This was awesome. So glad I caught it live ^_^

Proton Jon introduced me to this greatness. Thank you Proton Jon.

I dunno if Pepsi should have donated for the free advertising or filed a Cease and Desist for the defamation.

Ah yes, the star of this year's SGDQ

This is a work of art

I find it funny that this game is a lot bigger of an advertisement for Pepsi than they expected it to be.

6:56 - 13:00 - 19:50 - 26:45 for those Mike Butters moments.

All i can tell from this run is that GrandPoohBear (hoping i wrote that right) had the time of his life.

i watch this every time it pops up on my feed

I'm pretty sure this is been my favorite big run of all the ones I watched so far lol!

PEPSI MAN FOR SMASH 5 FOR THE SWITCH! LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN NINTENDO!

Never trim out that beginning XD

The nostalgia of seeing this game again after all this years!

This was perhaps...the greatest thing I've ever seen at a GDQ ^_^

*naaa naaa na na naaa naaa na na naaa naaa na na naaa naaa* *_PEPSIMAN_*

In the commercials, the Red Pizza truck was a Cave-Pizza truck and had the exact Coke font.

I am 31 now , I played that gave when I was 15 . I love everything about it especially the music 😍

Never thought this would be the highlight of the marathon.

This was the best run in the marathon by far.

I don't think Pepsi has ever had this much advertisement. Japan truly is a glorious nation.

"Get a Hot Pocket!" "Yeah!" im dying xD

I remember this. glad to watched the stream that day everyone was having fun
