Synopsis


The video opens with a gong noise, mimicked by Anthony tapping two props together. A hunched Ian stares intensely into the camera, moving his shoulders up and down to mimic the sound effects of heavy breathing. Ian mouths the "Test your might." lines, intermixed with clips of him exaggeratedly slapping Anthony and the two of them in a dark room, playing with a glowing prop. Ian mouths "Mortal Kombat!," after which jump cuts play of Ian and Anthony moving up and down to the tune of the beat, intermixed with shots of paper reading "3, 2, 1, Fight." The two proceed to mock-fight each other, throwing slaps, punches, kicks, and jump kicks at the other. After Ian mouths the second "Mortal Kombat!," Anthony crouches and rush-hugs Ian's leg in a failed attempt to trip him. Ian mouths "Excellent," after which he and Anthony joust around the latter's bedroom with swivel chairs and props.

After a second mouthing by Ian of "Excellent," he begins mouthing the roll call of Kano, Liu Kang, Raiden, Johnny Cage, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Sonya Blade (all played by Anthony), prompting each character to appear to jump onscreen once their name is called. After the roll call, Ian mouths a "Mortal Kombat!". During the brief musical interlude, Anthony twitches his tongue to the tune of the beat. They are told to "Fight!" as he and Ian mock-fight for a second time, during which Anthony crouches and spams punches, which Ian repeatedly tries to jump out of, to no avail. After another "Mortal Kombat!", they throw a few punches before aiming a series of high kicks at each other. Anthony interrupts this by scooting his behind in Ian's direction before kicking his shin. The roll call repeats, using the same clips of each character, all slightly sped-up. Ian and Anthony are again instructed to fight, during which Ian launches a series of rapid punches at Anthony's face, followed by a series of kicks and a round alternating between kicks and punches before finishing the onslaught with a slow-motion punch to the face that sends Anthony spinning to the floor. They are instructed once more to fight, during which they exchange more crouches, punches, and kicks.



Shots play of Ian and Anthony standing with their fists raised, followed by the same shot of Ian defeating Anthony. Ian mouthes "Test your might." with one face of intensity and a second with a smile, intermixed with clips of him and Anthony suggestively dancing; first, they wave their bodies in place; next, they gyrate their exposed stomachs back and forth. A third roll calls plays, after which Ian mouths "Mortal Kombat!". He and Anthony spin around in their swivel chairs while Ian plays with a prop. They are instructed to fight, during which Ian performs a "Bicycle Kick" by jumping up to Anthony, moving his legs in a steering motion, and lands a powerful blow to Anthony's jaw. Ian mouths "Mortal Kombat!". They continue the fight, trading more blows before Anthony moves between Ian's legs and takes him for a ride around the bedroom while Ian punches the air, after which they collapse to the floor. Ian mouths "Mortal Kombat!", after which he and Anthony seem to hump the air while spinning around. Ian mouths "Mortal Kombat!", after which a delirious Ian, seemingly the loser in the recent fight, is approached by Anthony with his mouth wide open; a jump-cut shows Anthony turning to the camera with a small skull toy in his mouth, seemingly indicative of ripping Ian's head off.

Ian mouths "Mortal Kombat!" one last time, after which the closing gong plays as he and Anthony bow to each other.

Behind the scenes

 * The video was filmed in Anthony's bedroom when he was still living with his mother.
 * Anthony played each fighter during the roll call scenes, with minor costume changes or additions to reference each fighter's wardrobe:
 * For Kano, Anthony has something over his left eye to represent the fighter's cybernetic eye.
 * For Liu Kang, Anthony stretches his eyelids to reference the epicanthic fold in the fighter's eyelids.
 * For Raiden, Anthony uses a prop edited onscreen to simulate a blast of lightning.
 * The prop used to simulate Raiden's lightning blast appears to be the same prop the appeared earlier in the video, edited onscreen.
 * For Johnny Cage, Anthony is shirtless and wears sunglasses.
 * For Scorpion, Anthony wears a yellow shirt pulled over his face to reference the fighter's costume color and mask.
 * Similarly to Scorpion, for Sub-Zero, Anthony wears a blue shirt pulled over his face.
 * Finally, for Sonya Blade, Anthony wears underpants and a blue shirt, rolled up to look like a tanktop.
 * During Sonya Blade's appearance, Ian's back is shown with his pants halfway down and appears to have no underwear on.

Continuity

 * "Mortal Kombat Theme" is the first main channel video related to Mortal Kombat. Future Mortal Kombat–related videos include (in chronological order) "IF VIDEO GAMES WERE REAL 2," "IF VIDEO GAMES WERE REAL 3," and "VIDEO GAME ITEMS IN REAL LIFE."

Fan interaction

 * Around the time of "IPhone 5 REVEALED," PissedOffDad1969 posted a bulletin tagged to this video saying: "losers like this is what is tearing america apart, these hippies need to get a job and start contributing to society, they are pretty cute tho."

Goofs

 * Kano's bionic eye is on the wrong side of his face.
