The fact that the kid who wanted to change his name to Sonic X actually being named Christopher is hilarious to me

[The_P.O.P]

"Life may be a joke at times but a child is not" the truest words I've heard from you yet

[TheCatIndeed]

The second name sounds like when a website makes you a strong password.

[SolarSiren]

2:04 "I currently have no goals of world domination" that quote goes so hard. Edit: typo.

[Epsilon]

That king rejecting the name change in that way is brilliant, there's no way Chris would want to change his name by the time he's 18.

4:59 “Yeah, Detroit” - Phantomstrider just referenced where I live. Yay!

[caitlinsnowfrost]

Hypothetical advice for the mom who tried to name her daughter "Cyanide": there are other poisons that would make for more appealing names if you *must*. I think Belladonna would be a lovely name for a girl, even if it's *also* the name of a plant so toxic that four berries are enough to kill a small child.

[CeHee]

7:54 Slight correction. Aku on its own means Evil. Yes, those names sound similar because of it.

[holloworacle]

Dang Akuma is banned in Japan, that explains why the Street Fighter is also called Gouki

[TheInkPitOx]

"Did the quadratic formula explode"

That was my favorite Strong Bad email.

[Filmrot-mlcg]

I find the Santa Claus name change a word mix of wholesome and funny in context.

[citizenstrife]

2:23 I wonder how many times Strider had to do this...

[Basalter]

Fun fact: I haven't watched the video yet, but the name "Burger King" is banned in Mexico. And thank God for that.

[richardforrest]

In a video about names: "Nah, I'm just JOSHing ya"

I see what you did there

[claytonrios]

You know Pluto has a character named Adolf. He's a bad guy if you couldn't tell.

It's a masterful reinterpretation of Astro Boy if you haven't heard of it.

"Virgin..."
**shows Capitol stormers**

Sounds about right

[nprnilk]

0:00 I don’t know why but seeing Smiling Friends here got me excited lol. Curious on what Strider thinks of it.

[lssproductions]

I swear, Strider could make a video about fingernails and I'd still watch

[warrenmfouapon]

I like these videos of yours, they really informative, creative, funny, and your voice is chill
