*Loud WAPOOSH noise*
Top of the mornin' to you laddies!
My name is Jacksepticeye, and welcome to a game called Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy.
A lot of you have probably seen this game
already because it's been doing the rounds as one of the
ragiest games that people have ever played, and rightly so because it looks ridiculous
And I wanted to play it when everyone else was playing it,
But apparently you needed to either get a code from the developer
Or you needed to get it in some humble-
Humble bundle that came out a while ago
And I didn't get either so it just finally came out on Steam so now
(claps) I get to play it for myself and I've been watching
Other people play it just laughing my ass off
so if you don't know what it is, a lot of you probably do, but it's from the guy who made QWOP and CLOP and
GIRP, did he make that one? I can't remember those really rage inducing games
QWOP is one where you have to press weird buttons to make the guy run down the track
And that pissed me off after a while so this is the- the same kind of deal.
But let's just get in and I'll show you.
You play as a dude in
*cue silence of confusion*
Whaat the fuck... Okay, I've never actually seen the beginning of the game
(chuckles)
You play as a dude in uh- in this- in a cauldron basically,
and you have to get across the environment by using this.
*hammer noises*
So you, can you can tell how annoying this is going to get oh my god.
And I've watched so many people do this
That I've always kind of been like, "How does the game control actually?"
"What- what way do the controls actually work?" and now I can definitely
understand how annoying it is. How the fuck?
How do I do this?
(chuckles)
Okay, and I've made it a point to myself that I'm not gonna rage at this game (Sure Jack, sure)
I'm gonna take it nice and calm. We're just gonna have fun with it
It's not gonna piss me off. If it pisses me off then I give up. Oh my god
Wait can I just do oh
This is so unintuitive
(Grunting noise)
Okay, so you can push yourself.
Push yourself to try harder. This controls FUCKIN' TERRIBLY! Yes!
Ah ha ha!
I got over it, hey take that Bennett Foddy! I got over- your shit! Okay.
Its gonna take m- Oh whoa what- what- what- It's gonna take me ages to get use to this...
I still don't know how the fuck this controls
(laughs)
Okay go like this
Go like go like this
Oh my god, what the fuck? Oh no!
[Bennett] More intense than starting over if you won an argument with a friend. [Jack] Yep, shut up Bennett [B] and then later discovered that they just returned to their original
[B] Starting over is harder than starting up
[B] If you're not ready for that, like if you've already had a bad day
[B] Then what you're about to go through might be too much. Feel free to go away and come back
[B] I'll be here
[J] Hmm, I know as meme as this game has gotten. [B]Thanks for coming with me on this trip
[B] I'll understand if you have to take a break at any point, just find a safe place to stop and quit the game.
[J] Solid advice [B] I'll save your progress always even your mistakes
*rave noises brought to you by: Sean*
[J] Wait you'll even save my mistakes? Come on, Bennett
Nice!
Okay so for any of you watching this, this might look like
It's not that hard, but good lord. The controls are all over the place *cue singing* this makes no sense
Uh oh, uh oh. Ohhh
I've done fucked it guys. I'VE DONE FUCKED IT. You're not- No. No, we're not getting mad. We're not getting mad
It's just a video game.
See that? See that it feels like I'm making the controls go backwards whoa
Oh no.. I want to get over
I want to get over it with Bennett. He told me that I should get over it with him, so
So
[J]Yeah baby! [B] this game is an homage to a free game that came out in 2002 titled sexy hiking [Jack] sexy hiking (chuckles) [B] the author of that game
Was Jazzuo, a mysterious Czech designer
[J] Okay, okay, I'm listenin to ya
Uh, Sorry
(Grunting noise)
Okay, okay. You kind of get a feel for the controls after a while.
I have to go into the fucking pipe oh no no no no no no no no Oh
Wrong direction! Wrong- oh, that's- that's the fucking ticket. That's what we're trying to do. That's what we're trying to do
Don't fall back down if you fall back down, I will eat a cheese sandwich
Wait, do I go into it or over it? NOOO. [B] in a certain way sexy hiking is the perfect embodiment of a B-game
[B] It's built almost entirely out of found and recycled parts, and it's one of the most unusual and unfriendly games of its time
[Jack] NOOOOOOO!
[B] In it, your task is simply to drag yourself, up a mountain with a hammer
[B] The act of climbing- [J] FUCKIN'
[B] - in the digital world or in real life, has a certain
[J] Nope. No. BENNETT.
[J] SHUT UP! [B] Here is constantly, unremittingly in danger of falling and losing everything.
Oh my God, oh my God!
Okay, I'm trying to relax
Let's get a bit of air going
(sighs)
Okay...
That's- Ohohoho.
This is going to fuckin' drive me INSANE.
(grunting sounds continue)
Okay, there we go. There we go.
(emphatic grunt)
Okay, okay, I know I know, okay
I know just as much as you do, dude, that you want to get up to the top of this cliff
I know how that f- feels!
(enormous grunt)
(sighs in frustration)
You bald, cauldron-wearing-
YES! Oh, you fuck.
(deep breathes)
(hysterically laughs)
I'm just holding on by the skin of my fucking ass!
Okay, okay. Launch yourself. Launch yourself! Yeah, did that fucking look like launching yourself, no!
[B] oof, you just a lot of progress. That's a deep frustration, a real punch in the gut [J] I know! I know it is
Shut up.
YEAH BOY!
*incomprehensible noises of anger from the Irish*
Okay, okay okay okay
Even when you try to take it slow
(vibrant grunt)
That's what I want to do up here, that's what I want to do up here, okay?
You're not facing the right direction though. Okay slow. Slow and steady wins the race
I don't know the fucking buttons well enough. There you go, there you go, oh yes!
*angry grunting*
NIC- I could have had that I could have had that I could have had it all
(references and sings "Rolling in the Deep")
Yes get up, get up, NOOOOO
I'm not angry. I'm not getting angry...NO!
NYAH NYAH NYAH
What are these sounds- NOHOHOH
*DARTH VADER!*
HOAOHAOOHAHA
I hate this game- this game is like grinding my teeth and sniffing it
*concentration noises*
I hope.... that you actually have no legs in that cauldron.. I hope that that's the reason!
I hope it's not just because you've decided not to use them. That's fine, dude. I love you. Dude. You're the best dude oh
Yes!
*thumps of disappointment*
Oh, Ah, Yeah, sexy baby, Oh~
*alien noise*
Sensei!
*JWOOP noise*
If I make the sounds it helps me go quicker
*angry grunts*
Stay. Stay fido, stay. Oh stay.
OH STAY!
*woowoowoo noise*
Okay, okay. We're here. We're here. We're here
*best deep breath 11/10 would live breathe again*
Take a deep breath, it's fine. It's fine. Everything is
Everybody's beautiful and everybody deserves a chance
There we go there we go there we go there we go and then
Fuck fuck
Okay, just just let me just land on the barrel just land on the barrel there you go. That's not a good land
That's not a good barrel land and I've seen some barrel lands in my time. That was shit. This is good
That's a good one mr.. Oh
[Bennett] Anyway when you start sexy hiking you're standing next to this dead tree that blocks the way to the entire rest of [Jack] Fuck you
[Bennett] It might take you an hour to get over it
*extreme angry noises*
*Irish scream*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
Limits of your reach,[Jack]Bennett! I will find your house and strangle you by the power of
Sledgehammer oh I have the power. I was gonna say, but that's just the same same thing again. Okay, okay here we go
Here we go and whapoosh, top of the morning
My laddies oh fuck you're just gonna bounce yourself back out of here aren't you?
Aren't you aren't you not if Jack-a-boy has anything to say about it. There you go.
Just push, just shake rattle and roll. I said to shake rattle
OHHHH
rattle and roll

Raglan Road *HUYAH*
that a boy , okay we're heading up. We're heading up everybody
Praise the Sun here we go. I am ready that fucking venti chai latte from Starbucks. That's gonna give you the power you need dude
(grunting noises)
Shhite
This is a very good with space to be in
Yes, my dude. Yes, further than we've ever been in life. Oh
No, yes, oh I could knock out now. Go backwards. Don't fucking fall and fail me now
Now sit in this chair
Shits all backwards
This is confusing now
Stay up there stay up. There you sexy cauldron, baby
There we go there. We go. It's just about learning how to walk backwards
You know I was when you were a baby and it took you like years to learn how to walk literal years
It's like that, but now you have to go backwards
Backwards baby backwards cauldron, baby. It's like Million Dollar, Baby
Except you're worth about three-fitty oh yes
No, grab the edge yeah
Turns out my brain does not want to work as fast as my hands do
Or my brain is working for yes! [Bennett] Sexy hiking your unyielding
And that makes [Jack] this is some sexy hiking.
[Bennett] But I'm not sure Jazzro
intended to make[Jack] just gonna sit here and listen because if you're talking while I'm talking I'm trying to play
[Bennett] The process of building a game about life, [Jack] that's cool. [Bennett] a funny thing happened to me as I was building this man [Jack] you died?
[Bennett] I'd have an idea for a new obstacle and build it test it and it would usually turn out to be unreasonably hard
[Jack] And the rest of it isn't? [Bennett] and I couldnt bring myself to make it easier
It already felt like my inability to get past the new obstacle was my fault as a player [Jack] the fuck you talking about?
Ever so gently
Attaboy [Bennett] when you're building a video game world you're building with ideas and that can be like working with quick-set cement
you mold your ideas into a certain shape that can be played with and
In the process of playing with them they begin to harden and set until they're immutable like rock
And at that point you can't change the world not without breaking it into pieces
[Jack] How do I get through this!
Bennet Foddy, I will break you into pieces several of them I
Know what I have to do have to get up there and Jimmy wedge myself in but I just can't do it Cap'n
Get up on that there you go attaboy
I'm gonna get up you all. There's oh. Oh there's lights. Oh, there's lights. No. That's not what I want to stick to
Yes
Oh, it's one of those things that you know it's gonna be hard, but then when you start doing it's so much harder
I might want to make fists. I want to start punching children
You see what you make me do Bennet funny. You're this is the new Netflix series of making a murderer
Just go just go if these fucking slopes
Okay grip the rock, grip the Dwayne Johnson! Um probably not gonna be a game that I finish
Just say
Just sayin now. Can you?
Why did you pick a sledge hammer to do this with?
literally anything else would have done better oh
My god climbing this with your fucking penis would have been would have been better than this do I have any sensitivity
Options, I need to change them
And it gets to a certain point where you just lose all your patience for this
Here we go here. We go you've done this part before you know it's possible. Just do what you did the first time
Oh oh man, oh, man
You're a funny funny guy, mr. Bennett f- f- fucking funny guy . There we go I
Want to cry okay, this mouse sensitivity is not working I feel like someone was murdered to make a game like this possible I
Feel like it must be so okay, so i can get to *bunch of loud groaning*
I fucking had that you hairy geranium
It's why do you push when I make you pull *FOO FOO
I've made it a point to myself that I'm not gonna rage at this game
This is the worst game mankind has ever created. This is video game torture :(
My issue is that I know how to do the things, but it's when you start
It's when you start doing that that his hands can go either side
So there's no definitive pattern that this can happen when I pull down to go that side. He can go the other way
And then that happens
Okay, that's what I need to do
Yes, yes, that's not that's not a good position to be in okay, okay?
Yes *Flings over rock*
NOOOO!
NOO! *cries in agony*
*Muffled NOOO!* >:O
You fuck don't you dare play that sweet sexy jazz at me you know
I like it. you did that on purpose. I finally did it man. I
Finally had it done. I hope you're bleeding from the fucking rectum
[B] Oh no, it happened again. Keep on trying, don't let it get to you.
[J] Who hurt you Bennett, who hurt you to make such a fucking game, Aah Ooh Aah
No, that's not a good seal, that's not a good seal
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grave ooh. That's a good seal
This is very bad, okay, I need to push up like a bra
Full off don't fall off push
Push like you're pregnant
This thing that we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down very panic oh
Oh, Uh.
This this game is garbage
followed by a hint of pubic hair
Rumplestiltskin hear some people probably got the controls of this game. Immediately as well, which is
fucking
That means they're aliens
But I- I just I just can't get it I can't get it I-
I mean that's the point it's supposed to be obtuse
Okay, okay, okay? Oh gosh Oh into the cosmos. We're going there. That's good. That's actually what I wanted
Because now you can do
Okay, that's not good. That's not what I wanted Oh
Bennet Oh, Bennet Fadi
How do I oh shit?
Yes yes
Yes
Fuck you. Could you just be regular human?
For once yes. Yes, I'm back in the game find back who I already was
This is not a good angle
Dangle, okay. It's getting a little easier - oh
Shit, oh, shit. That's bad. It's getting a little easier to figure out the directional stuff
Okay, okay, this one is fucking awkward
Cuz it's oh no shit
Just for once in your life do something that your father's proud of
Fucking
JEEEEESUS CHRST
You're witnessing me actually mad now
Cuz that that's the part that fucks you up
It's not they it's not the actual trying to grab this stuff after a while you kind of get how that works
But it's when you grab it, and then you're trying to reorient yourself the game purposely is built to make you fuck up
Because trying to reorient yourself pushes you back the other direction
What fucking way just what way does life work?
For me. I want to know what love is. I don't know what's worse the fact that that took me
Forever to do or the fact that I'm just now making back up the progress I made ten minutes ago. Oh
My god
Get up there get up there tight spaces are not your friend be the sledgehammer be the sledge
You know you can be
Go grab it you had it. It's so fucking annoying sometimes grabbing stuff
Actually pulls you and then other times, it's just
Okay, maybe if I push myself
Sometimes it grabs and pulls you and then other times it just slides along
Why can't I just grab it like that wait
Why can't I just grab it for the rock? Okay? Okay? Okay? Okay? You're up here. I don't know what what this means I?
Don't know where we go from here mr.. Cauldron man
It went from funny to rage-inducing and now it's back to funny
This is ridiculous, I'm a nice happy positive person I
Want good things for all people?
except the developer of this game
Fuck it fuck it fuck it in its ass
Dying whale losses I can't get my head around this garbage
Fuck off I hate this I fucking hate this hey guys and welcome back to getting over it with Bennett fatty
It's a really great game
It's my personal game of the year 2017. I I really like it and I I wish great things for people who play it
Everybody all involved everybody involved everyone's a beautiful fucking bouncing child
Everyone's just fantastic everything in life is going exactly the way I wanted to
Why are you coming off the ground I'm not even pressing that part
Okay, is there an easier way of doing this that I'm just nah. That's getting
Don't fucking look at me like Oh Jack. I played this game, and I passed a no problem. No it gives a shit
No, I kept your birthday party for a reason
Jess
What I fucking pulled down I
Did that exactly I knew what I was doing that time for the fucking first time playing this game
No stop rising off the ground. Okay, just pull yourself towards it
There you go
Okay, no no, this is already fine Bad News Bears. Why don't you fucking flick fast enough? Oh?
Oh, it's like someone reached into my childhood and punched every good memory. I had
Okay, okay. See it's fucking slippy sliding
You know what this is a game I was looking forward to I was like oh that'll be a fun youtube series
That'll bring the giggles in the laughs nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Batman. There. You go there
You're attaboy
Okay, I don't know how the fuck to make you do this better
Fucking
Predicament just get the hammer around just get the fucking hammer up there you go
Yes, yes, okay
Easy does it I am pressing all the directions that I need to to actually get up here
Okay, okay, okay, okay, just see there
This would soon be made out of prefabricated objects
Oh store in ass every inch of my ass that hasn't happened one because the objects in the stores are trashed I
Don't mean they look bad or that they're badly made you're gladly me
Okay
Okay, I don't even know why I'm doing this why am I doing this? Why am I over time?
We've poured more and more refuse into this vast digital landfill that we call the Internet
In now vastly outnumbers in our ways the things that are fresh and untainted and unused
When everything around us is cultural trash trash becomes the new medium the lingua franca of the digital age
You can build culture out of trash, but only trash culture be games be movies
Be music be movie philosophy
Ok I have to say if they slide up this, but everything's fucking backwards now
ok you know what I'm gonna leave this first episode here because I do not want to do something that I'm gonna regret I
if I keep going now, I will commit a murder on camera and
That's not something that any of us want because I pretty pretty nice don't want to commit murder
Anyway good lord
There are some parts of this that make you genuinely upset
I mean, that's the point of the game
and it makes you shake and I'm one of those people that if a game genuinely makes me angry if it makes me upset if
It makes me feel in any sort of way negative
I usually just like in anything in life, if if something makes me feel genuinely angry
I like to just disassociate myself with it and just go away and come back to it after a while because
Anger is not a very good emotion for me. I don't like it. I don't want it in my body
Negativity I just want it all flushed out. I want to be happy positive person
a
99% of the time I am but every now, and then a 1% comes along and it's like hey
I want to feel like shit today, and you know what it's baskin that misery altogether
It's kind of it's kind of therapeutic in a way
You just get all the yelling out and you get all the frustration out and then after it's like hey
You don't feel that bad. I actually feel ok young with me when I'm playing this game
Yell with me any of the parts that get angry, or ie start yelling yell with me, and you too will feel great
But for now, thank you guys so much for watching this episode if you liked it PUNCH that like button in the face like
a BOSS and high fives all round
See all you dude in the NEXT VIDEO
This is not a safe space anymore you should not be in punching range
