7 Weirdest Things You Had a Boss Fight Against

while boss fights come in many shapes and sizes most are dear to certain conventions they are nightmare creatures cackling villains and hulking machines designed to turn you into a fine paste occasionally they are you albeit going through a goth phase some games defy convention instead of reaching for the big book of boss tropes they pick up the ikea catalogue by mistake and throw you in the ring with household appliances and other random detritus of everyday life maybe they're trying to keep it fresh maybe the developers just got sick of animating knees either way unexpected items posing as bosses are here to stay don't believe me consider these the seven oddest things you had a boss fight against beware spoilers for the following [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] keep your eyes open fellas hey what can i do oh you're back oh thank you thank you if i look away i don't know what this thing will do you have to get me out of here the door can only be opened by the panopticon supervisor that's langston if he's still around control is a highly accurate simulation of a first day at work no sooner has jessie faden entered the bureau of control then she's ticking off classic induction activities pick up a door key find her new desk and throw that desk at monsters using brain magic find a new desk as every new starter knows it's vital to get to grips with the office facilities where the toilets the photocopier the flying traffic lights that burn you with their searing beams or the plastic flamingo in that undulating tunnel they didn't mention this on linkedin that's got to be an altered item so it turns out that working at the bureau is more befuddling than trying to spell bureau beeru bureau these baffling objects are known as altered items everyday things that developed paranormal powers and as such are banged up in the bureau's panopticon think of it as the arkham asylum for the criminally mundane it's here that you find a most unconventional boss the arctic queen a 1960s refrigerator locked away like anthony hopkins in silence of the lambs delivering an equally chilling performance and don't roll your eyes at that pun because that's when the fridge will get you what are you doing in there oh thank god look someone has to watch this object at all times or deviate my from blazer never showed up can you help me so begins fridge duty which in the outside extra offices means throwing out milk before it gains sentience here it means gaining access to this guy phillips room before his eyes fail him in the fridge attacks not sure which job is worse is doing something phillip okay this is worse sorry philip being turned into a bloody puddle is the fastest way to fail your probation period so jessie keeps her eyes on the arctic queen as she psychically wrestles her way inside bad news if you hope to find chilled treats in there where my fridge has a healthy supply of muller crunch corners in this fridge you're more likely to get mulled and then crunched in a corner that's courtesy of the former the paranormal host of the fridge and plankton from spongebob squarepants cosplayer luckily a few bullets to the eyes and chucking convenient projectiles back his way is all it takes to put this weird boss on ice or not on ice out of the fridge you get it the fridge seems fixed maybe a bit much for your first day but hey at least you know where to put your stinky egg sandwiches now results their opponent buried in the foul of the consumer an unspeakable horde long in prison set free tonight for your entertainment the secret star of don cornell's stellar stable who'd buy property in midgar in the bleak classified of final fantasy vii remakes mega city you're either doomed to live in a shack held together by spit and fetch quests or you get a pokey slice of the suburbs where the house prices are always threatening to drop no wait where houses are always threatening to drop but these cursed abodes pale in comparison to the residential evil fought in the final round of the corneo coliseum it's here that cloud and aerith make like russell crowe and gladiator walloping dogs and robots to earn a shot at the main event only maximus decimus meridius never had to wrestle with a small family detached home and frankly the film is weaker for it yes this is hell house or as it's so ably summed up by cloud master of observation was it the flames that gave it away or maybe the whole being alive technically it's a promotion for the possessed property which slummed it as a regular enemy in sector six in the original final fantasy vii proving that you can gentrify anything if you put your mind to it this fixer-upper now gets its very own boss fight if it wasn't for the whole trying to kill you thing hell house will be a desirable purchase capable of both ice and fire magics it's never too hot or too cold in the case of flooding it can grow legs and flee the danger ladies and gentlemen and there's the impervious invincibility barrier good luck posting a pizza flyer through that and are the neighbors really going to complain about you putting the bins out late when it's doing this i'll sort my recyclables when i'm good and ready margaery with the housing market being what it is it's cruel asking first-time buyers to destroy an affordable property it sends the wrong message to two youngsters with their whole lives ahead of them well maybe not aerith [Music] cuphead has single-handedly or should that be single-handedly ruined countless everyday items for us by turning them into unforgiving boss encounters now every time i see a carrot i have to drop kick it the length of tescos and if i ever spot a frog wearing boxing gloves i will box it right back so watch it frogs however the weirdest encounter has to be the gravestone in the level rusev news [Music] goopy legrand is a slime ball in every sense of the word both an amorphous sphere of goo and a dirty rotten cheetah get him on the ropes and he pops a pill doubling in size [Music] no wonder doping in sports is illegal those giant cyclists would be terrifying of course winners don't do drugs and soon enough goopy is splattered by his own gravestone which then sets out to rip you a new one what should be a time for somber reflection and mild sobbing becomes a farcical battle to the death okay second death as you pour bullets into goopy's grinning face and he attempts to turn cuphead into a saucer while it is the official outside extra stance that grave desecration is bad bold i know we make an exception for splitting this chump into [Music] here lies goopy legrand he died as he lived and then he lived a bit more after he died annoying to the end sunset overdrive doesn't take itself entirely seriously see exhibit a the decision to use the game's community manager brandon winfrey as the final boss of the dawn of the rise of the fallen machines dlc yet another reason not to mess with community managers but even a cackling winfrey has nothing on the campaign's final boss where an assault on the fizco hq becomes a boss fight against the fizco hq wait wait don't tell me you've fought bosses on top of massive buildings and bosses the size of massive buildings but this is the first time you fought a massive building luckily it has an exposed power core on the roof hey we didn't design it reaching the roof is a test of your acrobatic skills as you rail grind up tentacles and bound along hover drones to reach that oh so convenient weak spot it's almost like this thing wants to be exploded the real challenge is the cross city sprint to reach the building as it escapes do that and it only takes two trips to the top to perform a proper demolition job and if that seems a little too easy take it up with a community manager [Music] thought [Music] paper mario the origami king could have populated an entire list of strange boss fights by itself but we tried and the spoiler warning came out looking really weird [Applause] [Music] as mario strives to untangle princess peach's castle from king ollie's streamers he faces off against the legion of stationary normally harmless arts and crafts tools rendered deadly when applied to mario's frail papery body such as jean-pierre coloured pencils the 12th whose wordplay is as sharp as his freshly shaved points arsenal mwah if this boss thing doesn't work out jean-pierre a role on this channel beckons but the boss that left its mark on us is the disco dancing hole punch to be fair he leaves his mark on most things that being the gimmick of this particular boss fight he starts out nibbling on the paper arena limiting mario's roots and potential pickups as you plot a path towards the middle but what follows is probably the most unpleasant bit of body horror i've ever seen as the hole punch gouges a hole in mario's skull [Music] how is this game rated peg e7 unless that stands for particularly extreme gouging imagery he'll keep on taking holes out of mario until you deliver a thwack to his backside forcing him to puke up mario's missing body parts now all mario needs to do is collect his own face from the floor is this definitely a nintendo made thing this is very dark don't worry though as it all ends on a much sweeter note tearing the stapler's arse off of its body wow mario rectum well then let's wrap up this crazy party shall we whether he's asking all three of cerberus's heads to play dead or decking a giant ghost horse devil may cry's dante has killed more bosses than every hero on this list combined sorry paper mario but it's true but his weirdest encounter appears during a trip to the netherworld in devil may cry 3. the damned chessboard as in cursed rather than i can't find my damned chessboard is a living version of the game invented in the 6th century and then totally forgotten about until the queen's gambit made it cool in traditional chess two players take it in turns to frown a bit and then touch a clock and then take tranquilizers in the bathroom again i'm taking most of this from the queen's gambit this version features none of that stuff and also all the pieces bundle in at once getting surrounded talk about a rookie mistake worse still you can only hurt pieces as they move and each piece follows the behavior of its real-life counterpart oh and the demonic bishops can shoot fireballs which i don't think happens in real chess but again please check with the queen's gambit dante only needs to kill the king to clear the board manage that and you're truly worthy of a grandmaster status like to see you try that beth you fools human yet wishing to eradicate the desires of humanity who's that repent persona 5 is the story of impossibly well-dressed students attempting to cleanse a shadow realm of psychological perversions and build up the courage to eat a very big burger [Music] but as rancid as they are pickles are not the big bads of persona 5. that honor goes to a series of emotional constructs that represents the wildest fantasies of their human hosts [Music] i guess this dude's wildest fantasy is to be made out of giant paintings and this fellow wishes he was a fly turns out all these wrong ones are the result of an even bigger bad and it's a cup but not just any cup perhaps the most famous cup of all i am revered as the granter of dreams for all who behold me of being most commonly known as the holy grail forget what indiana jones taught you the holy grail isn't a manky old beaker but a 50 foot tall chalice covered in cogs how jesus drank from this without getting his beard tangled we'll never know even worse it talks like an internet edge lord these fetal minded common folk will make your social reform all for naught the shared heart of the masses has fallen into an excess of influence and transformed into a prison the grail feeds on the wishes of humans wooed by its promise of a chaos-free life healing it in battle and letting it enjoy a real glow-up [Music] how do you beat a giant wish-filled cup it helps if you see the cup's health bar as half empty instead of half full but more practically sneak up and sever its ties with its human thralls without its gallons of delicious wishes it's as harmless as any old regular 50-foot tall golden chalice which it turns out is still pretty dangerous still nothing three plucky teens in a cat can't handle now to fight the real boss [Music] three feet of meat and heartburn for weeks yum so those were the seven weirdest things you had a boss fight against please do not attack fridges and hole punches in real life if you can think of any other bizarre objects repurposed as boss fights please do drop them in the comments below

"Rectum!" is fast becoming a channel catchphrase, and I'm so there for it.

Glad to see Ellen getting some narration help while Luke’s away. Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve heard Andy, Mike, or Jane on an Oxtra list video.
