Parodybox Got an Update and It's... Something
Remember Parodybox? The one with the fart sounds and the "bruh" vocal? Yeah, that got an update. A "big" update according to the title. I've been playing it for like 45 minutes and I still don't know if it's better or just... more.
Let's get this out of the way: this isn't for making good music. If you want good music, play literally any other Sprunki version. This is for making your friends say "what is that noise" with a concerned expression.
What's Actually New?
Okay so the "big update" adds... I counted... maybe seven new sounds? Eight? One of them is just someone saying "sus" in a robotic voice. Another is a vine boom sound effect. There's a record scratch that goes on for too long. You know, essential musical elements.
The weirdest addition: a sound labeled "emotional damage" that's just a glass breaking followed by a sigh. I used it in every combination because why not.
How to Play (Seriously)
Step 1: Accept that you're about to make something terrible.
Step 2: Click the most obnoxious-looking icon.
Step 3: Add another sound that doesn't match at all.
Step 4: Keep going until your brain hurts.
Step 5: Laugh or cry. Both are valid responses.
Personal tip: Start with the "bruh" sound. Always start with "bruh." It sets the tone.
The Good, The Bad, The "Why Does This Exist"
Good: The new "earrape" category (yes, that's what it's called) has a sound that's just microphone feedback. Authentic.
Bad: Some of the "joke" sounds aren't funny after the first time. The "cricket chirp" is just... a cricket chirp. Not even a comedic one.
Why: There's a full 10-second clip of someone saying "this is the way" in a monotone voice. Why is this in a beatbox game? No clue. But it's there if you need it.
My Attempt at "Music"
I tried to make something listenable. Here's my "recipe":
1. The deep bass from the original Parodybox (still here, still decent)
2. The new "chipmunk" vocal (sounds like someone inhaled helium)
3. The "record skip" effect (added randomly, no rhythm)
4. The "bruh" (of course)
5. The "emotional damage" glass break (every 4 beats, because consistency)
Result: My cat left the room. 10/10 would annoy again.
Questions Nobody Asked But I'll Answer Anyway
Q: Is this better than the original Parodybox?
A: More sounds doesn't mean better. It means... more. Whether that's good depends on how many meme sounds you need in your life. Personally, I think the original was funnier because it was simpler. This feels like trying too hard.
Q: Can you make actual music with this?
A> Technically yes. Actually no. But "technically yes" is enough for some people.
Q: What's the best combination?
A> All the new sounds at once. Maximum chaos. Then record it and send it to someone without context. That's the intended use, I'm pretty sure.
It's 2 PM as I write this and I've had three cups of coffee. Maybe that's why the "anxiety" sound effect (it's just rapid heartbeat) resonates with me. Maybe I should take a break from Sprunki mods.
Nah.
Final Verdict
If you liked the original Parodybox, you'll like this. If you hated the original, you'll hate this more. If you've never played it... start with something else. This is deep-cut meme humor in game form.
Also, the "big update" might not be that big? Like, it feels like someone added a few sounds they found on a free SFX website. But hey, free content is free content.
I'm gonna go make a track using only the new sounds and call it "Internet Culture: The Musical." It'll be terrible. I'll love every second of it.
Update quality: 6/10
Comedy value: 8/10 on first play, 3/10 on repeat plays
Likelihood I'll play this again: Medium-low, but I'll probably show it to one friend to watch their reaction.
There. Review done. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to listen to something that doesn't have "sus" in it.
