Q*bert: What's He REALLY Saying When He Gets Killed? 💬@!#?@! 🕹️

Q*bert is an arcade video game developed and published for the North American market by Gottlieb in 1982. It is a 2D action game with puzzle elements that uses isometric graphics to create a pseudo-3D effect. The objective of each level in the game is to change every cube in a pyramid to a target color by making Q*bert, the on-screen character, hop on top of the cube while avoiding obstacles and enemies. Q*bert features some rudimentary speech synthesis and is unique as one of the only games of its era to feature profanity (albeit censored). So just what exactly is it that Q*bert is saying when he gets killed?

Qbert is probably one of the first video game characters to ever swear

Edit: MOTHER IM FAMOUS!!!

QBert! How dare you. You know we don't say ampersand exclamation point pound sign ampersand exclamation point in this house...

(I think I lifted that joke from MAD Magazine's E.T. spoof.)

[CubicMathTime]

the funnier one is "hello, I'm turned on" 💀

[JPBlock]

Hahaha! I clearly remember playing this during one outing to my local Showbiz Pizza back in 1980-somethin’, and I *swore* I heard him utter a naughty word😂

[Sanrio]

Am I’m the only one who hears
Come on what the fuck

My younger cousin had NES version around 1988 when he was like 5. It always sounded the same on that version. And We always said "EyeSkittleWap" when we were insinuating a cuss word, even like in our late twenties as a personal joke referencing the spund it made.

Actually, that's just Q*Bert's language, in Wreck-It-Ralph it was called Q*Bertese (or Q*Berteze, I don't know which one is correct)

[UnCreativeDeconstructionism]

Damn qbert. You aint have to say that.

[candyConfectioner]

I remember when Q*Bert said "?!#$@$?" And Q*Berted all over the place.

[allenharper]

It's not swearing, it's Q*Bertese, according to "Wreck It Ralph"😂

[Danyplaysboblox]

I remember when I played this game, I remember Q*Bert has actually said “ah s**t” but due to the sound being a bit low quality, it’s easy to mistake “s**t” as “sheet” (even those purple sideway guys idk their name, they said “ah s**t” Also)

Probabilities are the big chance this to get q*bert into smash bros

[Justahandle-]

I can translate one
“Earchjellyo-“
*game resets*

[demonwaterdemonwater]

We was kids playing it and we got mad because we couldn't figure out how to move

[PlantModes]

You should make a video on a game called The Indigo Parallel

[Semi-Cyclops]

there has to be a font for this. just reverse it.

[kristamu]

No he’s saying stuff beyond our known languages

[thatonekid]

Why are you all putting the * in Qubert

[pablobogopablogames]

I only have one thing to say...
@-!@?&!

[torment]

He's saying "this short is a waste of your fking time but it has a pun at the end of it which is still not worth it, unless if the pun🤭 is redirected to the poster of the clip"
