Jokes[]

This uses the audio from the rip "One Fateful Knight - Shovel Knight", an arrangement of "INDUSTRY BABY" in the styles of various Shovel Knight tracks, although at a higher pitch. Instead of the thumbnail, the rip begins with the intro cutscene from Shovel Knight, with each scene change synced to the arrangement. At 0:04, the producer tag for Daytrip appears in the style of the text from Shovel Knight, as it is said in the rip. At 0:07, it fades to black before the visuals change to a parody of the ""Fans Explaining" Montages / X Slander" meme, which often uses "INDUSTRY BABY" as a background song, with each slander consisting of various indie games, as the beat of "INDUSTRY BABY" is added to the arrangement. At 2:50, the visuals fade to a different cutscene from Shovel Knight, which fades to black at 3:04.

Time	Text	Visual	Explanation
0:08	Shovel knight making his guest appearance in Shmegdul Bobbin's Vacuuming Adventure with 56 Steam reviews	A clip of the movie Elf, featuring Buddy the Elf walking down the streets of New York.	Refers to Shovel Knight's prolific guest appearance rate in other video games. "Shmegdul Bobbin's Vacuuming Adventure" is not a real game, and its mention is merely a setup for the joke at 2:40.
0:11	VVVVVV fans when there's a 0.2 cm tall rock in front of them	A clip from the movie Doctor Strange, in which the titular Dr. Strange is sent flying into other dimensions.	In VVVVVV, small bumps or steps require the player to entirely flip gravity to get over them, which is often a very convoluted process in comparison to jumping in most other platformers.
0:14	Celeste fans spending 2000 hours to beat level 9 z-side without slowing down, touching the ground or breathing	A GIF of a man licking his lips.	In Celeste, there are optional strawberry collectables scattered across the game. When the player touches a strawberry, the player has to land on ground to instantly collect it, so never touching the ground while collecting every strawberry in the level is a particularly hard challenge mixed with the high difficulty of the game.
0:16	Meat Boy Fans waiting for the Hell boss to bash his skull into the ground for the third time and kill himself	A clip of Mr. Bean waiting from the movie Mr. Bean's Holiday.	As the slander implies, the Little Horn boss fight of Chapter 4: Hell in Super Meat Boy is defeated when the boss slams its head into the ground for the third time, particularly after multiple sets of attacks the player must dodge.
0:19	Rain World	A scene from Moana where Moana is almost eaten by a monster before a different monster eats it.	References Rain World's enemies, particularly their hostility towards each other.

There is an optional black monolith puzzle to which the solution is known in FEZ, but the latter part of the solution was brute-forced by players. It is still currently unknown how the player was actually meant to come to the full solution (one solution purported to be the actual solution was discredited).
0:27	Terraria fans when they get into an argument	A clip from Terraria Trolls by Corridor.	References Terraria's melee swing animation.
0:30	FTL fans ideal society	A cutscene from Aperture Desk Job where the praying mantises have created a functioning society.

0:40	Hotline Miami 2	"Louisoix Levelilleur's Final Moments" GIF	The ending of Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number sees San Francisco getting nuked by Russia.

References the main gameplay mechanic (The Book of Laws and the added rules they provide) of Tower of Heaven, which include "no touching any living thing".
0:54	playing Castle Crashers	The "Cheap Fighting Combo" option from Completing the Mission where Henry beats up Right Hand Man Reborn using a prolonged uppercut-double divekick combo.
