welcome to watch mojo
and today we're counting down our picks
for the top 10 funniest boss fights in
video games
but before i cleanse this planet for
good
i'm gonna avenge my daughter please my
lord
let me live i'll never go back there
again
drop your weapon
for this list we'll be looking at some
of the most hilarious big bads we've
encountered over the years
some of them will be end bosses so be
warned that there are some spoilers
did a different bad guy have you
cracking up let us know in the comments
number 10 francis super paper mario
[Music]
francis isn't like the hulking monsters
and sinister maniacs who make up most of
the video game world's rogues gallery
a geeky chameleon who spends most of his
time on his laptop
he's perhaps one of the least
intimidating bosses you're ever likely
to encounter
the closer our heroes get to him the
more pathetic he becomes
describing his kidnap victim as his only
offline friend
and setting his fort security so that
only quote francis or hot babes can
enter
when this leads to him coming face to
face with princess peach he immediately
becomes tongue-tied
after losing that fight he actually pops
up again later on but doesn't fare much
better
he's the kind of villain that it's hard
not to laugh at
number nine the end metal gear solid
three
snake eater do you hear me
snake i
am the end i am here
to send you to your ultimate fate
like cardboard boxes and elaborate
geopolitical conspiracies
wacky boss fights are a trademark of the
metal gear solid franchise and the third
game brought us the world's oldest
sniper
the end i have already
slept enough for one lifetime
while the player can engage him in an
epic nail-biting sniper battle they can
also
just set the internal clock on their
console forward a little
and watch him die of old age it's the
same sort of meta gag which made
psycho mantis such an iconic boss in the
1998 game
a psychic who would taunt the player
about the contents of their memory card
psycho mantis could only be defeated by
switching controller ports
i wasn't able to read the future number
eight
bob of the killer goldfish earthworm gym
[Music]
franchise
when your hero is a space traveling worm
it's always going to be a challenge to
provide them with an
antagonist who's even sillier than they
are enter
bob the goldfish
confined to his glass bowl bob is
jealous of jim's suit and plots to steal
it for himself
naturally bob can't put up much of a
fight and relies upon his feline
bodyguards to battle jim on his behalf
once his goons have been dispatched the
actual showdown with bob
tends to be a bit of a comic anti-climax
never more so than when jim
simply grabs bob out of his bowl and
swallows him whole
number seven handsome jack borderlands
ii
stop us if you've heard this one before
a crooked one-time casino owner becomes
president
boasting of his own importance and
denigrating everyone else around him
we are of course talking about handsome
jack but before i cleanse this planet
for good
i'm gonna avenge my daughter he's a
monster of a man who gleefully threatens
people's lives for not bringing him
pretzels quickly enough
quick with a clever line and dementedly
committed to his own vision of personal
greatness
jack sure is evil but he's also very
entertaining
like a true villain he remains
monologuing right up to the moment the
player puts a bullet in his brain
by that point you may have grown so fond
of his egotistic ramblings that you
almost don't want to pull the trigger
almost you want to prove me wrong you
want to stop the greatness that is
handsome jack well
come and get me number six jin roku
ghost of tsushima you want to fight me
yes
it's the only way if that's your wish
i accept with its painterly visual style
and somber echoes of akira kurosawa
films
funny isn't really the first thing that
comes to mind when you think of this
samurai epic
ghost of tsushima however still knows
how to pull off a great gag once in a
while
wait i don't want to die i surrender
when jinroku challenges you to a duel
the scene is perfectly set for a classic
sword fight
the two fighters stare each other down
under the moonlight on a quiet hillside
slowly unsheathing their blades the
tension builds steadily up to a breaking
point and then
jin roku throws down his sword and begs
for his life
it's a perfectly executed bit of indiana
jonesish misdirection
i know please my lord let me live
i'll never go back there again number
five
lachak the secret of monkey island
lechuck is an undead pirate captain with
a devilish mind
a horde of ghostly crewmates at his
command and a few nasty voodoo tricks up
his sleeve
all things considered he should make for
a formidable foe
having gone through the classic video
game bad guy playbook of capturing the
hero's girl
lechuck makes it all the way to the
altar with his kidnapped bride-to-be
when our hero guybrush crashes the party
however he discovers that elaine
has already rescued herself rather than
an epic battle
the player then gets drawn into a
verbose insult match
thankfully this is a talent that
guybrush has been honing with his insult
sword fighting lessons earlier in the
game
number 4 colonel autumn fallout 3
you again i can't say i'm surprised
you and your ilk seem hell-bent on
destroying everything our government has
worked to achieve
there's nothing to stop me from killing
you this time let's end this
you've trudged across fallouts or
radiated wasteland and survived
countless deadly encounters
making all kinds of grizzly moral
compromises in the process
finally you're standing face to face
with the man responsible for starting
the whole thing
colonel autumn stop now
are you out of your mind there's nothing
else to be done
we will push forward and we will prevail
while gamers might have expected some
sort of
epic showdown with the game's big bad
fallout 3 chooses to play it as a dark
joke allowing the player to use the vat
mechanic
take aim at colonel autumn's head and
blow him away like they would any other
enemy
ultimately autumn is just another human
being not a super villain or a monster
this makes for a grimly funny
anti-climax if that's not really your
style of comedy you do get the chance to
insult him for a bit first
the chain of command must be upheld i
wouldn't expect you to understand
number three rabbit kong mario and
rabbids kingdom battle
[Music]
combining the odd world of super mario
and those raving rabbids was always
going to lead to a lot of bizarre sights
the game's submersive sense of humor
however is all part of its overall wacky
charm
and nowhere is that more perfectly
encapsulated than in the boss battle
against the hulking
rabid kong
[Applause]
after scaling a giant tower in
preparation for his last stand
rabbit kong is unceremoniously toppled
by a chaos hungry rabid peach
he still manages to pose for a selfie on
the way down though
number two the great mighty pooh
conquers bad fur day
[Music]
[Applause]
there are few games in existence as
infamous as conker's bad fur day
the game's plot sees conker trying to
make it home to his girlfriend
after a night of heavy drinking only to
find himself pursued by the panther king
as he gets increasingly sidetracked from
his main mission conker faces off
against all
kinds of bizarre bad guys but nowhere is
the game's childish
weird-out sense of humor more overt
however than the battle with a great
mighty poo
a huge supply of tish comes from my
chocolate starfish
how about some statue little
it's not a nickname he's a literal pile
of opera singing excrement
who must be defeated using toilet paper
and a great mighty flush
gross

number one morgan freeman south park
the fractured but whole i wouldn't do
that if i were you
you're digging your own grave kid
in true south park style the hardest
boss fight in the whole game comes
courtesy of someone no right-minded
human being would ever dream of tussling
with
that's right we're talking about the man
who convincingly voiced god himself
morgan freeman
it's an optional boss fight but the
player best be ready should they choose
to take on the beloved actor
if signature moves like the glistening
freckles don't get you the million
dollar lap just might
the game has lots of hilarious showdowns
but this one most effectively captures
the what the heck am i watching feeling
of all the show
it also makes for one of the most
unforgettable boss fights in recent
memory
you have potential kid maybe i'll leave
the old taco shop to you in my will
