10 Video Game Moments NOBODY Asked For
5. Fuzzy Pickles - Earthbound
Throughout Earthbound, our hero, Ness, encounters some peculiar characters, including a gum-loving monkey, cow-painting cult members, and a band modelled off the Blues Brothers. On your travels, you'll also regularly bump into a quirky chap called the Camera Man. Every now and again, this eccentric photographer will drop from the sky and ask if he can snap a picture of Ness. As he takes the photo, he asks Ness to say "fuzzy pickles" (instead of cheese). With that done, he launches himself into the heavens, allowing you to continue on your journey.
This moment is so random, you can't help but laugh the first time it happens. But then, the Camera pops up later and does his silly bit again. And again. And again. Throughout the game, the Camera Man does this little routine 32 times! And guess what? You can't skip it. (Believe me, I tried.)
What's annoying is this moment would've been fine if it happened once or twice. But because it happens over and over (usually when you're rushing to an important destination), it end up hampering the gaming experience.
