The Runaway Guys/Epic Fail

• From Mario Party:
  • NCS profited a total of -4 coins from minigames in Luigi's Engine Room. That is to say, he lost more than he gained from them.
    • He does it again on Peach's Birthday Cake, profiting a total of -1 coins.
    • And AGAIN on Yoshi's Tropical Island, with -2 coins.
    • He had 152 coins from minigames in the final standings, making him have the lowest. Jon had the second lowest, at 567. A 415 coin difference.
  • Any time anyone steals only one coin from another player.
  • A milder example is Jon not getting why Chuggaa calls the guy who switches the gates in Luigi's Engine Room "Bill Gates". As in, he switches the gates, and you have to pay a bill to make him do it.
  • The only time they played Hot Rope Jump, they don't even make the first jump (Chuggaa landed on the fire rope). And the last time they played Running of the Bulb, all four of them get eaten and lose almost at the beginning.
• From New Super Mario Bros. Wii:
  • NCS getting killed by the first Goomba.
  • Everyone except Josh getting killed by a Paratroopa in Part 2.
  • The guys attempting to do a four-player ground pound ended with two of them going down a warp pipe by accident.
  • After trying for a long period of time to get the third Star Coin in World 2-5 (and failing), Proton Jon finally gets the coin... only to die two seconds later... while everyone else was in recovery bubbles, forcing them out of the level without saving their Star Coins.
  • At the end of episode 6, the death chart shows that NCS has 79 deaths.
    • At the end of the same episode, Josh Jepson has a total of 77 deaths. Only 2 deaths behind NCS.
  • In the first fortress in World 5, they spend 5 minutes trying to get up one section, and there are a lot of deaths throughout the level.
  • Episode 14. Levels 7-4 and 7-6. And the death count at the end: Jon 19, Josh 29, Chugga 43 and NCS 47. Granted, it was a long episode, but still.
  • World 9-3, second Star Coin. Half the time they get it, but collectively die trying to make it to the end of the stage.
  • An aversion of this happened in episode 15 at the second try of level 8-2, when NCS ended up getting on the very top... only to bubble at literally the exact point of the very top of the pole. Instead of not getting anything at all, he ended up getting a 1-Up and some fireworks, yet he never appeared on the ground at the end... at all.
• From Super Smash Bros. Brawl:
  • In Episode 7, while trying to enter Tim in so he can choose a character, they crash the Wii. No, not the game, the entire system.
  • Then, when they reboot the system, they forget to enter Tim again.
  • Episode 8 goes by quite swimmingly until The Wilds 2, where Chugga and Tim keep meeting their demise at the hands of... simple lifts.

Video Description: Elevators: Apparently something only Canadians understand.

• • Duon vs. Jon and Tim. It does not go well.
  • Tim keeps going the wrong way in the maze, making Jon and Chugga yell at him a lot.
  • The Bonus Episode. Tim's quest to fight and unlock Jigglypuff. It has to be seen to be believed.
  • During the fight between Chugga and Josh, Chugga uses a PK Starstorm and completely misses Josh, even though the attack basically covers the entire screen.
  • In an earlier match, Chugga is killed by a rolling crate spawning and smashing into him, costing him the match.
  • In the tournament fight between Lucahjin and Sy Khotic, Lucah manages to leap off the edge of the stage and commit suicide in roughly the first ten seconds of play. And then proceeds to be thoroughly destroyed by both Sy Khotic and the rising acid below them.
  • A meta-example: The three were playing this game at E3 and it took them a half-hour to realize that they weren't recording.
    • In this live stream, Chugga explains the entire story. All of the Guys forgot to bring the game, so Chugga went to a Best Buy and ended up spending $131 in total for it and the cab fare. They did not have enough controllers, so Jon went to buy them from a Game Stop. After an hour, Jon texted Chugga that it would take two more hours for another cab to arrive. Chugga tried to go pick him up only for his own cab driver to get lost (and refusing to take off fare). As soon as he arrived, Jon got a phone call saying that his cab was coming early, so Chugga went all that way for nothing. When they returned to the hotel and tried to pay the driver, the taxi's debit card reader turned out to be broken. Chugga went inside to withdraw money from the ATM, which was also broken. He went to the front desk and asked for cash back, and they said they couldn't do that. Chugga and Jon had to go back in the cab and ask the taxi driver to go to a bank so they could withdraw cash, driving up the fare to $60. When they went back to the room and were about to start recording, they found that they forgot to pack a cord that was necessary for the capturing to work. Jon and Chugga walked to a Radio Shack a whole 2 1/2 miles away to buy this cord for $38. It took them an entire SEVEN hours to get everything set up for recording and start playing the game, only to find out that they actually weren't recording anything after 30 minutes. According to Jon, it was the first time he had ever seen Chugga get legitimately angry and Chugga was so depressed he didn't want to record anymore.
• From Mario Party 2:
  • In Space Land, Jon lands on the happening space six times. For people unfamiliar with Space Land, the Happening Space causes the player who lands on it and anyone else on the same stretch of land to move back to a certain space.
  • Horror Land's first minigame, Hexagon Heat, lasts six seconds due to everyone but Chugga having an Epic Fail moment.

Jon: What just happened? I groundpounded and it kept bouncing, Wario was humping the sky, and I don't even remember what happened to Tim...

• • • Tim's case was actually justified; his controller was glitching and forcing Yoshi to move upward when he was supposed to go down. This actually happens again later during a game of Face Lift, as you can see his hand moving upward automatically and giving him extra trouble.
  • On Mini Game Coaster, Chuggaa is about to win, but then asks why he's losing, and instantly lost. The kicker is that he was looking at the wrong character for the whole game, and would have won without noticing if he hadn't stopped.
  • Later still, Jon's long win streak finally ends because he lost Quick Sand Cache by one coin.
