Bailey Basically Explains

So this is basically a series where Bailey explains how a video game works while trying to traverse through the first mission of the game. Or something like that.

Join Bailey every other Wednesday at 7/6c as he goes through the beginning of any video game Max decides he should try. Watch as he jumps around like an idiot to find his way through the level. Be in awe of his terrible fighting skills as he battles his way through hordes of different enemies. Question your sanity as he repeats the same joke of finding and killing Wilbur Robinson. destroying stuff for money and car extending warranties, claiming to not have luck, only skills, setting things on fire, and thinking every game he plays should absolutely make sense in how it plays or is presented. In case you're wondering, Bailey is a variety let's player, conquering all kinds of games on all kinds of game systems from PlayStation, Nintendo, and even Steam.

The Nerdy Maniakz Basically Explain Rock Band 4

In this video, Bailey basically explains how he and the boys form a band, Tacos for Braydon, and become rock n roll legends, featuring such classics as "Machinehead", "Cheeseburger in Paradise", a modernized version of "Holiday", "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid", and Max's personal favorite the Weezer mocking parody that is "Buddy Wannabe". Originally released on November 3rd, 2021, the video was blocked worldwide on YouTube a week after release so now it lives on my Google Drive for anyone who clicks the link to access.

Rock on, freaky bro!

The Philosophy of Senses (Original Version)

Bailey basically explains the beauty of sensation, life, nature, and all of its colors by exploring the PSI King's dormant mind in Psychonauts 2. This is the original cut of video featuring Bailey and I's cover of "Rock Your Socks" by Tenacious D as the video's encore moment (which was cut out of the YouTube version to avoid having the video be partially blocked. Thanks, YouTube, you money hungry capitalist pigs.)

Philosophize with me!

The Copyright Strikes Back (1980 Version)

If the version on YouTube is the remastered 2004 version of Episode V, then this is the original version (hence the year in the title). This version was recorded before I got Lokizilla33 and Jimmy to do the episode with us. We ended up not scrapping it since there's a lot of good humor in it that didn't end up in the "2004 version" of the episode, so it lives here now as opposed to being shelved from the public like Star Wars Detours.

Does Han know Leia loves him?

El Baile De Pollo

Bailey basically explains how a monkey boy became the Great Maracas King and hosts a furry fiesta with all his friends. This is the full version with every song included since YouTube's copyright robots love kissing big corporation's rich butts.

Bababooey!

Bailey Shoots a Child

Deleted scene from "Fear and Stupidity in New Vegas". The scene was originally in the video during its premiere, however the scene was copyright claimed due to the music behind it. Instead of fixing the scene and re-exporting the entire video, I instead completely removed it since, honestly, it's kinda f'ed up. The scene now lives here whether you like it or not.

Bang!

Bailey Vs. Benny (where they actually Hit the Lights)

As the title says. Obviously it got copyright claimed by YouTube's AI, so I had to replace it with the SM64 Soundfont cover. The original music sounded so much better with this scene, so I kept this version in tact for anyone who happens to find it. From "Fear and Stupidity in New Vegas".

Hit the Lights!

"Crazy" Cover by Max Pride

Obviously, I don't own the song or the karaoke cover of the song. I made this cover to use in the Bailey Basically Explains episode "Assbub". It turns out YouTube doesn't like vocal covers, so the full version of the song lives here for your enjoyment.

Crazy? For feeling so lonely?

Two For The Children, One For The Adults

Bailey basically explains three bad PS2 games I found for him to play. This is the full version of the video with the cutscenes from LarryBoy and The Bad Apple kept in tact and what Bailey had to say during each one. Honestly, I'm surprised the video cutscenes from LarryBoy were a problem and not everything else that's copyrighted that I included.

Is LarryBoy really like Spider-Man?

Let Him Cook 5

This video was made to test the copyright system on YouTube. It was my last attempt to try and keep the intro cutscene in the episode "Two For The Children, One For The Adults". This included doing frame holds, putting a filter on it, zooming out the footage, putting Spooky Vision on it, and dubbing over the original audio. Believe it or not, it still got claimed which resulted in me removing the cutscenes from the video altogether.
