It is time to give this goofy old game some appreciation, and I mean it. So sit down and enjoy as I give some of my interpretations on the insanity that happen in Battleblock Theater. In a very disorganized manner with less or similar cohesion to the plot itself.

  • I genuinely got so happy when I saw this because NOBODY talks about this game. It’s one of my favs so I love this video by proxy lol
  • @lzzardwizard
    i just got back into the game after years of not playing it. nice to see content on it still
  • @thehale_
    The whole “narrator is Hatty” thing is funny to me because that’s what my friends and I naturally assumed from the start. I don’t even know why.
  • @i_drinkliquid
    I have a theory that the narrator is a cat, who used to be in power, probably Purrham's favorite, as you can hear him say "Anyone who tries to escape will be executed on the spot!" in the hall of dudes, he also sings in the hall of dudes about being a cat, Stamper also voice acts the cats, and another half is that he now sides with the prisoners, not finding this endless dance of death amusing, unless you get the line "Okay, now that one was funny!"
  • @wesdert
    I'm really happy that there is an actual video of battleblock theater after so long, thank you :)
  • @AndersOHMoberg
    Finally got around to finishing this, a nice hangout. Thanks Drog!!!
  • @Heavym_Etal
    ahhh this is amazing, im obsessed with this game (and obviously stampers narration) so to see someone do a video on it is great! i always thought the game was us playing through a retelling of the events that happened throughout the game with narration from hatty himself, since he was there. love the video!!!
  • I got this game when I was a kid, and I for some reason just always assumed Hatty was the narrator. Then when I grew up and found the game again and played it, I thought to myself “Why did I think this, it’s not Hatty!” And now you’re making me think twice once again…
  • @weegeeetime843
    literally nobody talks about this game !! but you are!! yay!!
  • @slm20408
    Never played the full game, only played the xbox 360 demo and I LOVED IT I l played the demo over and over again when I was a kid, that was the game that i really wanted to buy, but my parents only bought me physical versions of games, that's why I didnt own the full game
  • im on like an alt account but I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME. i remember when the xbox 360 era was out, i used to get bullied by my brother in the game, which he did by making various cells to kill me, and tell me to enter them, they would kill me, respawn me, and do it again. which its fine, cause its funny thinking about it! anyways as i was saying, this game is AMAZING! so glad to see [ atleast ] SOME recognition
  • im surprised you never brought up the theory of the evil wizard possessing the hat
  • @siinistar7953
    BBT genuinely is one of the best multiplayer games of all time with no exaggeration. The stupid fucking cats have always been some of my favorite enemies in any game ever dude
  • @Dr_Dan_
    There is actually footages of the fur boss creature. You can even summon it with cheat engine
  • @thom14777
    yknow ive been on a behemoth kick too lately, except for me it's trying to 100% clear Pit People. I only have two achievments left!
