When the Game Does Something Stupid

When the game does something so stupid You stare at the screen like this Go to the safe house. Now, kapitan, from the moment you entered my submarine, I had found a kindred spirit. someone who would climb the mountain just to see if it could be climbed, yes?

A dead-serious man stares blankly at the screen before the clip cuts to a bright-pink helicopter in Grand Theft Auto flying recklessly through power lines and crashing while overly dramatic subtitles and triumphant orchestral music play. The joke is the absurd contrast between the game’s simple objective, “Go to the safe house,” and the player’s spectacularly stupid attempt to reach it, making the video useful as a reaction to ridiculous gameplay or a painfully illogical decision.
