"Trio the Punch? More like 'Trio the Stupid Game'. Pshh" That line, with the bored delivery, perfectly sums up early-PBG

God this is a nostalgic blast...I wish G-files would get a revival...

this SPECIFIC video by PBG is enthralled with nostalgia. Oh my gosh i remember watching this over and over and over again.

I was playing Danganronpa 2 and a character called Chiaki mentioned "Trio the Punch". I thought the name sounded awfully familiar and then I remembered what it was, but I wasn't sure WHERE I've heard of it. (My first guess was AVGN) Then she continued talking about being turned into sheep, etc. And then I remembered. Trio the Punch was the game that gave PBG restless nights. xD

God, I miss the G-files...

Thanks for the comments guys! I pulled an all nighter to get this done, so I gotta go get some more sleep, but I'll get back to reading them when I get up! =P

8:27 - I'm pretty sure when they said "The weak part is the ring", they were telling you to aim for the bell around his neck. Ya know......cause it rings. XD

God, this is seven years old already. Makes me feel old.

A bad man An old man A magic stick Real creative...

Gotta love badly-translated stuff. I think that's the biggest cause of weird dialogue in these things.

This easily has one of the most hilarious endings PBG ever came up with.

He gives me the pbg-bees

I love these old Pbg videos :') they still really hold up even after all these years

"Trio the punch? More like trio the stupid game." Did someone win a basketball game? Cause I hear air horns!

He is Dragonborn! LETS DIET

00:21 MySims is in a frame WHAT!, coincedince, i think not!

Well, KFC is the most popular fast food in Japan, SO that's why Sanders is it that.

"big cat with a meowth coin" that's a lucky cat, PBG!

"Like Luke Skywalker says, let's cut the chatter, and get to the point here."

"Don't do that" "I will anyway"

@Darkblade461 The reasons I don't post vids very often is because I spend a LOT of time and planning on each individual video in an attempt to make is as good as I can possibly make it. =) I'm actually working on one (as usual) currently. I'm just sick at the moment and have been for quite some time, so my progress is greatly hindered. (Aka recording lines, shooting live stuff, etc.)

@Buss713 I'm glad you enjoyed it! I actually wasn't sure how this one was gonna turn out at first.

4:00 Data East? Don't you mean Data Vice?

8:09 it's mario maker level logic, they've been creating useless stacks since...who knows when. Also I need that shirt of yours

1:18 let me help exsplain a bit more of what the story is suppose to say (at least from what i heard). When the time keepers key is taken it causes the fabric of reality to start falling apart, this gets worse the further in the levels you go. Also when the time key stops turning the dreams and nightmares of the citizens of radishland become reality.

I'm back after the channels 10 year. This and it's sequel are still incredible.

This video is over 11 years old and the "LET'S DIET" with the Skyrim clip is still the funniest thing ever.

why is the music for trio the punch so addicting?

at the start my sims is framed on the wall in the back

Ummm...I remembered the video better in my head.

You know what would be funny, PBG plays Five Nights at Freddy's!

That isn't a cat with a Meowth coin, that's a Maneki-neko, which is a symbol of good luck in Japan (like a four-leaf clover, I guess), and that coin is a "koban", a kind of coin which was used long ago in Japan. :P Also, I already knew the name of that cat (the maneki-neko) but I had to check it out on Wikipedia to remember it.

That jungle dude reminds me of Odolwa from MM.

dovakin saying "LET'S DIET" gets me every time

Most of the games here a part of my childhood. So basically I grew up playing weird games. And I still play weird games.

2:30 Big Green Goku "I want the Magic Stick!"

Watching this while eating a peanut butter sandwich 😏

That's not a "Meowth coin". That cat is called a Maneki Neko, and serves, if I recall correctly, as a Japanese symbol of wealth. Meowth, who uses moves like Pay Day, is based off of the Maneki Neko. Sorry if I sound condescending, I just wanted to point it out.

Heh, in Pokemon Firered randomizer part 3 19:04 PBG mentioned Trio The Punch. He truly did not forget this unique game.

The cat statue is actually called a mineki neko (I think thats how it's spelled...) it is a japanese symbol commonly used in shops. A left paw up means money, and the right paw up means good luck. I hope that helped your japanese culture knowledge!

He has MySims framed on his wall LOL

I think Japan's stuff seems weird to us because they make a lot of use of Japanese and Eastern cultural references. I've noticed many times how weird a lot of America's entertainment would be if I didn't have an extensive background knowledge of Western culture. We can guess as to what our entertainment's inspiration is, or could be. Not so for Eastern culture really.

It makes me feel more confident in our species' future when I run into specimens like you. Thank you, sir, you deserve a medal. And yes, I like MySims as well. I've only ever played the first one but I'm thinking about getting Agents just for the heck of it. But M&L: Dream Team comes first, and there's some other games I want to get as well… on top of wanting to get a Wii U and several of its games the second MK8 launches.

I actually liked playing MySims. Well, no-one likes same games.

Where's GaijinGoombah when we need him?

i had to stop at 4:19 couldn't stop laughing

"Hey, how should we decorate these eggs for easter?" "LET'S DIET!"

Years later I still can't forget it.

xD 2:43 Bleah, Bleah, Bleah XD

2 of the 3 games were made by data east. WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT YOU DATA EAST!?!?!?!

Its weird to process that I have been watching PBG for ten years. I remember when this was a new video.

Trio the Punch would need a whole episode to thoroughly catalogue its absurdity. There's simply no other game like it.

You ever heard of Ninja Baseball Batman? look it up

Diet GoGo kinda looks like a re-texture of TumblePop, also by Data East. Fantastic game. :]

God, I can’t believe this will turn seven years old this August...I remember when this video was a few MONTHS old.

0:25 Peanutbuttergamer loves my sims so much that he put it on its own special shelf

Tales of Destiny 2's Theme of Battle? c:

I was literally crying this was so funny. OMG!

5:47-6:02 That is just straight-up a distorted version of Zelda's Lullaby

funny as heck like 9 years ago. godspeed,pbg :)

4:19 I DIED.

This vid is almost 10 years old

That "boss" at 3:02 looks like Odolwa's demented brother

Haha loving the "Theme of Battle" from Tales of Destiny 2 at 9:30. Pretty obscure game.

The Legend Of Zelda Modern Warfare 3!

3:38 I'm pretty sure that "monotonous" is pronounced like "ma-nawtn-is"

The boy in Pu Li Ru La needs to work on his Nostalgia Critic cosplay.

1:10 Face of "bad man" looks like a face of Sans (You know which one I mean).

3:06 he got a BONEr

wait a sec, diet go go is made by data east! the same people who made the joe and mac games!

I bet the reason colonel Sanders is in Trio the Punch is as a joke relating to Japanese baseball, there's a team that when they won their world series, or whatever they call it there, some fans trashed a nearby KFC and threw a large statue of the colonel in the bay. Ever since then that team has never won another series and it's become known as "the curse of the colonel", they even recently found and recovered the statue hoping it'll finally break the curse.

That intro is so nostalgic for me

Wait, data east made diet go go? The same people who made joe and mac?

3:13 lol Ryan Higa

That cat boss at 8:23, anyone else reminded of Paper Mario Sticker Star?

10:23 Ironically, the moment _after_ the splash screen gets one of the biggest laughs out of me in this video

In 0:22 - 0:49 MySims is in the background 😳

Old vid, and a comment you’ll never see, but I didn’t realize you were a Denton guy. I’m new to watching your stuff, so the Dirk Nowitzki references I saw now make more sense.

Hey, so I know this is an old vid and I know that you prolly won’t see this but, PBG the, the Cornel Sanders thing, look up, “the spirit of cornel sanders and the baseball team in Japan” or something along those lines, it’s this really weird Japanese Baseball Legend about a cursed Cornel Sanders Statue, and I think that’s what the game was referencing, it’s a pretty popular legend in Japan

Aw I love this video it's not because it's own of his funniest or creative but because this what introduced me to one of my favorite youtubers

8:20 "Meowth coin" Please tell me that was a joke.

Please....please....SPRITES OF DIET GO GO!

Wish he'd bring back this series.

I just adore pbg attitude in this video, grumpy and funny XD lovely dry humor

It's because of this video that I got that Trio the Punch reference in Danganronpa 2. Thanks PBG.

I find it sad that there's a distinct lack of cnl sanders rule34, especially considering KFC rampant marketing these days.

Saw the grumps play Pu Li Ru La today and thought it was familiar and...well...here we are :D

I think those other two guys gave PBG the PBGeebees.

at 2:54 is anyone else reminded of that one peice character that always says things with a v and crossdresses(?),( im sorry his name escapes me, i think it begins with a v but its been a while.)

Wait, Time Keys... Time Gears... POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON REMAKES CONFIRMED!

Watching videos like this makes me want to re-quote funny parts.

Fun fact: KFC is incredibly popular in Japan, especially during Christmas, to the point where you have to reserve an order before the holidays. All because of some incredibly successful marketing campaign in WWII. Probably explains why Colonel Sanders was in this. Doesn't explain WHY they put him in, though.

Fus ro diet!

2:03 PURPLE MAN FROM FNAF!?

I can't believe that this video came out 4 years ago I mean I remember watching this when it first came out.

my sims is sealed with the 7 peanut butter sieges and the evil game is never getting out of there :D

“Japan makes some really weird stuff...” I also think Japan makes WAY more child-friendly entertainment than the rest of the world.

In the game "Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Drspair" if you speak to one character that she has a nightmare about a game called "Trio the Punch" and she mentions being chased my a man with a thin mustache and tells the main character to run before they turn into sheep! I found this pretty cool considering it was in a PBG video

6:33 That man just turned into wood.

Trio the punch? That is the best bad translation I've ever seen ("If we have no magic stick, it will be the same thing" is an honorable mention).
