Personally, in some alternate universe where Dedede won and Etika was still around, I feel like HyperCam and Etika would need updates compared to their old sources.

Etika's are actually rather small, but then again he would still be combined with Reggie, so I feel like keeping the source list The Joy-Con Men had is good, as well as still readding in some of the Etika-related stuff that was taken out of their list that he had in King for a Day 1, like his favorite animes or Brooklyn-related stuff. But I still feel like compared to the newcomers that would come later one they STILL feel like specialized characters, so I think two minor buffs would be in order.

Buff 1 (on Reggie's side) Nintendo Direct and system music. The same minor buff that Nintendo Power got, just with The Joy-Con Men instead.

And Buff 2 (on Etika's side) Minecraft. "Etika Likes Minecraft" was a reoccuring in-joke amoung his fans already after he once got caught playing it in 2013 when he didn't know his camera was on, HyperCam's vs. quote with him and his response is actually a reference to this. After that whenever anyone brought up Minecraft or posted Minecraft-related videos to him he'd get pissed off. However after his return from the mental hospital, he unexpectedly started playing it, ironically completing the joke. Turns out he actually did like it, but after a while his stream chat started mentioning something called 2b2t. 2builders2tools is known for being both Minecraft's second oldest server and "Minecraft's worst server" basically being an anarchy centered server first created by 4chan all the way back in 2010, and continuing to exist with zero resets no matter what happens. Etika then arrived and one of 2b2t's more well-known players by the name of Fit encouraged him, he eventually joined it, only to keep constantly getting killed at spawn, getting kicked and /killing himself due to 2b2t's hostile approach to larger YouTubers ending 'their domain' of sorts do to multiple poor experiences in their past (more specifically and infamously by the YouTuber TheCamipingRusher) of newer noob players invading the server whenever a YouTuber featured it in a video, (and well.... it's a server originally made by 4chan and based around anarchy do you REALLY expect them not to be hostile?) leading to a series of events known as the Etika Invasion. He then created his own faction on the server, 9 Gang, an unoffical group consisting of his followers, then said for 2b2t to hand over their server and for it to "be his", planning attacks on it, which was also one of the reasons 9 Gang was made, to help him conquer it. Of course, all this failed poorly due to 2b2t's MUCH more experienced and seasoned veterans killing off most of 9 Gang and then Etika giving Fit a book, yet never following up his invasion or making a base.

Due to all of that, I think it's VERY safe to say that giving The Joy-Con Men Minecraft-related rips would have been a pretty good idea as the 2b2t Invasion was one of the most major things before Etika's passing, only trumped by Banjo-Kazooie and Hero's reveal Direct for Ultimate. It would basically be any sort of rips related to Minecraft as the joke, maybe even Inspector Gadget jokes snuck in there as well as any other sort of jokes associated with Minecraft at the time like The Lion Sleeps Tonight, Minecraft cursed images, Pewdiepie was JUST starting to play it around shortlt after King for a Day 2 got underway I think...
