Reposting my old post from 5 years ago because it got no attention and I've still had no luck finding this:

I remember watching a video about a competition that was quite serious to the people who organized it, but was meme material to anyone who has an IQ higher than 10. I remember the line "and here we have a ____ eating contest, the winner gets a handful of M&Ms and a Gameboy Color". It was apparently a real thing that happened, but the video was in so many meme compilations, mainly due to its low-effort editing. I don't remember enough of the video to search for it. I remember it had a real website attatched to it when I searched it on Google back in the day. I remember the event or the website may have contained the names of two people, but I don't remember the names.

Those quotes that you sometimes hear in SSX Tricky when doing various actions aren't just random gibberish, they're quotes from various 1940s - 1980s media re-dubbed by Canadian voice actor Mike Donovan. Many years ago, someone identified one of the sources - the 1940 science-fiction thriller Dr. Cyclops. Several months ago, a few more sources were identified.

Around a week ago, I started work on the final checklist I need to follow before I'm done with the SSX Iceberg, so I also decided to organize the scattered Discord messages into a singular project - a spreadsheet with transcriptions of all of the quotes, their Sound Pack filenames, as well as the name of the source plus the timestamp in said source.

As of a day or two ago, they've been fully transcribed, and around a quarter of the original sources have been found. We likely have around 75% of the actual source media, we just need to watch through entire movies to find them, as not all of them have transcripts online:

One of the more interesting discoveries is that several of the quotes were actually from an R-rated film, the 1974 American adult comedy film known as "The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat"! I skimmed through this movie, and... well I highly advise you do not look up this movie if you're under 21. Seriously, don't. That being said, I wonder who on the team managed to sneak these in...?
