Toy Story 3 on the Wii was an integral part of me bonding with my siblings as I was back from college on breaks. We really looked forward to it, and spent...hours, just noodling around in the game. It was so fun, and so ridiculously silly. Mostly because of the hilarious local multiplayer (whether intentional or not -- but the shooter level _was_ pretty fantastic in a household not allowed to play online or non-cartoon shooter games)! Also, the very meme-able voice acting (Buzz Lightyear's iconic "hough-hoiuuuuuuuuuuuuooough" comes to mind. We would go around our day in the house and randomly do our best impression of it to make each other laugh. Sometimes it would start a bizarre stream of disconnected favorite pet quotes from the game between us. Near the peak of sibling bonding, almost as good as the moment one of us beat Super Monkey Ball 1's expert level 7 after midnight during a college break -- more than a cumulative decade of work off and on went into that. We absolutely involuntarily broke the quiet hours rule in the house when it happened. Top 5-10 moments of my life, I think.) In any case, all that to say, this work is important as there are always people that find these things valuable. Everyone has a story, strange as it is. I'm really glad that attention is being brought to these titles, and once my siblings work through me being trans enough for us to be together, I think we might have a chance at sitting down and reliving some of the good old days together, ala emulator. Fingers crossed! <3 :))))

After about 20 minutes of searching, I found the voiceline in question at 7:46 at https://youtu.be/SeG5YYq8kQU https://youtu.be/SeG5YYq8kQU . It's definitely not the same as the series of "two grunts in a row" that my siblings and I finally eventually settled on, but you can see why it would inspire such a silly practice. Additionally, for more, um, very strong overacting that was the cause of lots of laughter in the house, please see 14:56. You can see why we spent a near-majority of our time playing together as Buzz Lightyear, and finding the closest pit<->respawn point pairing so we could die as dramatically as possible as quickly as possible. We spent many, many, many hours doing this. Some of the hardest times I've laughed in my life. Good times. Thanks to the above commenter who brought up this trio, you've brought a lot of nostalgia that has brightened a rather rocky week! <3 :)
