I'm not sure there's really a joke to get besides 'Man treads all over Japanese custom and then pulls a spectacularly silly facial expression'. ^_~ And I think the fact that that's really all that it is makes it even funnier. ^_^
My favourite was the Gurumin one, I think. I'm loving 'Aaaah! Dark mist, dark mist!'. ^_~ More, more~!

wyrdwad: You should translate them so macroidtoe could send them to Falcom. I'm sure they'll try and get it published somehow (hopefully in the next Ys All-Stars anthology)! XD

Yeah, I wasn't quite sure how to end that one. I knew I wanted to do Legacy of the Wizard, and something with grandma crushing the password and thereby losing massive amounts of progress... Originally I was just going to end it with a photo of my NES in the trash, but then I got this image of infuriated raging Lyll in my head, which seemed like it would be too much fun to draw. Regardless, it's pretty hard to follow up on that chilling zoom into the horrified accusing eyes of the pikkard... There's a lot of classic ones which follow the template precisely (three panels of zoom at the end), but I've found there's a certain point where you've got to shake things up with the ending in order to avoid wearing out the meme... This one is one of my favorites in that regard. Well, I'm starting to run dry, both in terms of ideas as well as games which I've personally played (unless I do some of the other Ys games, which is pretty easy considering how often you're running around returning precious lost items for people). Actually, that's the thing with these "card crusher" comics (and there are A LOT of them if you go looking around) -- I usually find the best ones are those that reference well known television shows/movies/public figures/etc., while the ones that reference some anime/manga/game or whatever tend to be a bit too "niche" for broad appeal... but I'd been wanting to do some Ys ones, so I figured this would be the best place to find an appreciative audience. And indeed I did, so thanks! If I do any more "Falcom Crushers" down the road or try to give any other internet meme the Falcom treatment, I'll be sure to post them here first thing.

XD Oh, yeah, haha, that would definitely be awesome. :) From the Gurumin one onwards, I made a point of saving a copy of the "working version" with all the layers still separated, so the text can easily be swapped out. I didn't think to do this with the Felghana ones, but a word balloon or text box could be pasted over the English text so that the Japanese could be put in... I just hope the guys at Falcom would get the joke... my understanding is that the original "Card Crusher" fan comic was produced in Japan, so I'd think it might be well enough known that there'd be somebody who'd get it...

Indeed, there isn't really a shortage of things to crush though. ^^; Lots of key items and such!
Or maybe even something like Adol catching the homunculi in Ys VI and ... oh dear ... ^^;;;; Or hell, even getting a hold of Majunuun (or whatever the name of that optional boss is).
~ Or Adol crushing an apple at Lilia or vice versa.
~ Various villagers crushing the "gifts" Adol gives them (in Ys II Eternal).
~ Oh lord ... Talf crushing the Black Pearl in front of Adol. ^^;;;;;;;;;;;;;
THERE IS NO END TO THIS. (It may get old though? TT)
You know, it'll be funny to see a situation where one of the Goddesses crushes something. XD

These are awesome!!!
I enjoyed the video these are based on, that whole series is awesome, or at least what I've seen of it.
I like the nasal talking one, I've used that to great effect with my wife.
The one where the guy looks the woman up and down and offers her ~$300 to spend the night with him is also great. She gets offended and then when the skit is over he is explaining why she got mad about it and mentions that he probably should have offered her ten times the amount. Her reaction is hilarious.

You can always bookmark it. I'm pretty sure the bookmark feature is located at the foot (and the head) of the topic and all the posts, to the left of "Reply" and below "Page 1 of 3 >>" "Jump to page [1] Go" and "Search".
