Also bold of me to keep jacking hbomberguy's style after he "Plagiarism and You(Tube)" dropped
ADDENDUM: for the record, I really like Quinton Reviews. His 8 hour video on iCarly basically saved me on a long ass hour train ride from Scotland to London, and his vid on Dan Schneider was excellent -- I found learning about his role on Head of the Class and how that basically opened the door for him fascinating. The bit about video lengths twas a jest. I mean, look at the length of this video! I don't have anything like a high horse to sit on. Relax!

A huge thanks to exa_eille for their insights into speedrunning for this game and checking the second half of the video over, and, as always, my lovely Patreons. You stuck with me for a year and a half while I shat this out. I hope your patience was rewarded
Also not to spoil the best joke in the video but can you believe I got @SimonClark to do a cameo in this!? It's still hitting me how cool that is!! I've been a fan of his stuff for years! And he's in an overindulgent video I made about a decades old video game!

wearily sighs "Somehow, Soup Emporium returned"
-
He comes back from the dead to immediately kill his career with the hottest take imaginable
-
7:05 "UK inflation at 8.7% in May 2023" makes me think that Soup spent a proportional and normal amount of time on this video.
-
I just realized I’m 38 minutes in and this is barely about Simpson hit and run I honestly thought the video ended and autoplayed another Simpson video
-
forget corporate mergers, the greatest dating on this video is the fact youtube changed the layout to something thats somehow even worse mere days before this was uploaded
-
Only 58% of people watched passed the first 30 seconds of the Helen Keller video?!! I have that downloaded on my phone so I can rewatch it when the internet cuts out. Hell I used to listen to it to fall asleep.
-
Not so fun fact: Simpsons as an IP has one of the toughest and most critical licensor teams, and creating merchandise for them is insanely difficult. I’m not surprised at all that Fox inserted themselves into the process of making the game without knowing anything about it. The level of control they demand over their IP is pretty wild
-
A weird quirk is that Dead Money is actually really easy if you do it as soon as possible, like levels 1-4, because FNV doesn't quite expect you to try and so the difficulty scaling doesn't kick in
-
I really really love Soup Emporium's channel, but the selection of topics presented here is like a parody of video essayists - you've got political analysis of Fallout NV, a video about the history and economics of diamonds, a video about Koko the "talking gorilla", a review of HL Black Mesa, a documentary about the Chernobyl disaster, a video about the Yellowstone volcano, a debunking of conspiracy theories about Helen Keller and at the end of that incohesive list is a video about why "Simpsons: Hit & Run is not as good as you remember". But honestly, that's what I like about this channel the most. Soup just talks about something that interests him and shares his passion with the world, and you can never guess what will be his next scream into the void. Seeing this video in my notifications was like Christmas morning.

Holy fuck he live
-
HA! The "Oh, God! His face is a donut!" bit works so much better when the mafia dude doesn't painstakingly narrate his own demise.
-
"always cross reference the youtubers you watch" a tiny tiny gem of a statement that should be plastered across this entire platform.
-
Jokes on you I’ve never played hit and run!
-
May your nostalgia chip and shatter
-
What Soup says: Simpsons Hit & Run isn't perfect. What Soup means: You're going to dissect 30+ years of Simpsons discourse with me for 2¼ hours.
-
I want you to clip that “principal and the pauper is fine: mini essay.” And “the real reasons the Simpson’s went bad.” And upload it as its own video. It’s really well worded. And I’d love to be able to share it without the baggage of the greater video.
-
The Hbomb “do it for him” board help I love it
-
Fun Fact: Homer Simpson is canonically a millennial. This is because of the floating timeline and how long the Simpsons have gone on.
-
Around 50 minutes in you started talking about the game again and I totally forgot what the video was even about until that point
-
1:46:19 Having my realisation of "hey, this is that game from Patricia's video" followed by her showing up a second later filled me with levels of crossover-euphoria previously reserved for caricatures of [Insert Cinematic Universe] fans
