If Micolash isn’t on this list I will be so disappointed

Edit: “No one can catch us! No one can stop us now!” - Micolash as he escapes being in the video

[CatChaos]

The fact Micolash wasn’t on the list must be because Luke would spiral into a fit of rage upon remembering that fight

"Inigo stood still a moment, panting. Then he made a half turn in the direction of Count Rugen and executed a quick and well-formed bow. 'Hello, ' he said. 'My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.'
"And in reply, the Count did a genuinely remarkable and unexpected thing: he turned and ran."
- From _The Princess Bride_ by William Goldman

Me before scrolling down: "I wonder if anyone mentioned Micolash?"

I really appreciate the commitment to the bit in the Assassin's Creed segment. They could have just played one or two seconds of the "Charles Lee" clips at the end and called it a day, but no! They inserted the *entire montage* they'd just shown a few moments earlier. That, my friends, is comedy. Bravo!

[Sableagle]

Uh-oh. Jane's gone "Would you kindly" on us. That never ends well.

Micolash is simply the boss that hasn’t Stopped running yet as he still lives rent-free in all our minds, evidently 😂

Just because I'm playing Skyrim again. Alduin, you kick some dragon ass and he flees to another plane of existence.

6:13 "you wouldn't think a giant robot made of rocks would be scared of anything!"
... maybe it thinks you are made of paper?! 😂

The artist's impression of Kratos borrowing Hermes' legs is... actually quite impressive.

[braynjohnson]

Micolash ran away from being in this list somehow too.

[insecdroid]

Micolash, Host of the Nightmare from Bloodborne. The frustration from that fight came back the second I read the title if this video.

That Evri joke hit me at a personal level

Conner: "Give me Charles Lee, or give me death!"
Patrick Henry: "Hmm, you know, I think you have something there."

[CyborgCharlotte]

“You died as you lived. RUNNING AWAY!”

[Mewla_Aliapoh]

Ah, Kos, or some say Kosm… Do you hear our prayers? As you once did for the vacuous Rom, grant us eyes, grant us eyes! Plant eyes on our brains, to cleanse our beastly idiocy.

The grand lake of mud, hidden now, from sight. The cosmos, of course! Let us sit about, and speak feverishly. Chatting into the wee hours of... New ideas, of the higher plane!

11:50 The silliest part of Twilight Princess's battle with Ganondorf is the fact that, during that climactic one-on-one duel, he can be distracted by Link's fishing pole.
Try it sometime, if you're of a mind to dust off the old save file; cast your fishing line past him and his eyes will follow the lure, leaving him wide open for attack every time.

[mechraiv]

"And Link's like 'Duude" and Zelda's like 'Woooah' and Ganondorf's like '[actual game voice] Aaaaagh'" and I'm like [bursting into laughter] and Luke's like 'No laughing!' That was top Youtube

[NisansaDdS]

I actually expected another "WHERE IS CHARLES LEE?" after the outro.

[griffinraynor]

I think you've covered it before but for posterity I'm reminding everyone of how Malak in Knights of the Old Republic made you run through the entire bowels of the Star Forge, fighting dark Jedi and robots as he taunted you and ran away again, before you finally got to face him in the heart of the Forge, where he used jars of living Jedi prisoners as health batteries to top himself up throughout the fight. Absolute king of being a cowardly, annoying boss.
