Appearances can be deceiving.
Even the most beautiful things can be deadly.
Just look at the Venus Fly Trap,
tempting innocent prey into its alluring jaws,
like a sexy beartrap.
So when we pit the cutest critters
against the ugliest underlings,
you know it's not going to be pretty,
this time on Grunt Battle!
It’s the final battle of the first round.
From the Kirby series, the Waddle Dee.
The Green Greens of Dream Land
are home to a race of alien invaders.
These intergalactic shooting star riding beasts,
conquer planets and ravish entire galaxies,
scouring the universe for cake and ice cream!
They may seem carefree,
yet are every bit as adaptable as their floaty foe.
King Dedede will want to keep these bestial beanbags on his side!
Hah! I don't need them!
I'm a self-made king.
As in I made myself king!
I don’t need anyone for anything!
Hey, someone come fluff my pillow.
H-Hello? Anyone? Hpmh…
You win this round pillow.
And from the Resident Evil series,
the Zombie Dog.
The product of a devastating viral plague
which laid waste to the population
and mutated the survivors beyond recognition,
Zombie Dogs combine wild animal instincts
with a hunger for human flesh.
They serve no master,
but Albert Wesker has been manipulating them
behind the scenes.
Oh please, they’re just mangy mutts.
I can make a goliath cry like a baby.
I can make a shark eat its own tail.
A bunch of zombie dogs is nothing.
Zombie cats on the other hand...
that’s another story.
No! They’re back!
The Waddle Dees and Zombie Dogs
couldn’t be more different on the outside,
so one of our experts turned these foes
inside out in her investigation.
Zombification brings the dead back to life,
which is the exact opposite to what I do!
The T-Virus infects and revives the cells
but destroys almost all brain functions entirely
leaving the host only able to walk, eat
and leave YouTube comments.
This infection of the DNA also leads to mutations.
Like the Colmillos with it’s plaga infected tentacles
and the Adjule with a head that can split wide open!
There’s also the C-Virus variant,
which preserves some intelligence in its mutants,
so you’ll never outrun the C-Virus Dog!
Oooh, who’s-a-good-boy!
None of them are good boys!
Look, before they died,
well for the first time at least,
these things were trained by professional handlers
to be killer attack dogs!
They don’t need weapons;
they ARE the weapons!
Like the Raccoon City Police Dog
and the even stronger Military Dog
Did you see that?
I don’t want them even knowing I exist!
Can you pixelate my face please?
Thank you.
The Waddle Dees are surprisingly versatile
given they look like fat little potatoes,
but on closer vivisection,
they are full of snacks!
Candy, burgers, hotdogs, tomatoes.
These things are like pinatas!
They’re delicious!
Apart from the Yarn one.
It’s just yarn, sentient yarn,
like an evil woolly jumper!
The Waddle Dees come with a LOT of weapons!
Bows, Spears… Parasols?
But their best chance,
maybe their only chance,
against the Zombie Dogs are the Bomb Waddle Dee,
who can throw explosives while hiding inside portraits
and the Walker Waddle Dee,
who has their own missile launching mech suit!
Wait, it’s a zombie outbreak AND an alien invasion?!
Gulp, could you pitch shift my voice too please?
That’s great, you did that from the start of the interview, right?
Right?
The arena is ready for the beautiful game…
but instead they’re getting a Grunt Battle!
3 2 1 GO!
ZOMBIE DOGS WIN!
The dogs acted completely independently.
But I will reluctantly accept full credit.
Now no-one will fluff my pillows!
Oh I need comfort food…
OH NO!
Even having already died once,
the Zombie Dogs were just physically better than the Waddle Dees,
as you can tell from the way the dogs ate their faces off!
I’m going to be sick, oh my god.
Just edit me out of this episode, please I beg you!
Resident Evil becomes the fourth and final franchise to enter the Semi Finals,
joining our other victors –
Mario, Sonic and Zelda.
Tune in, when we revisit the Mushroom Kingdom
as the tough turtle troopers take on the
gruesome goblins of Hyrule,
next time on Grunt Battle!
