# Super Macho Man Super Macho Man is a flexing, chest-slapping boxing rival from Nintendo's Punch-Out!! series who became a fixture of the YouTube Poop Music Video (YTPMV) scene after the 2009 Wii remake. His shouted quotes like 'Release the BOGUS!' and 'Crunch Time!' were sampled into hyperactive remixes of songs like RED ZONE and Night of Nights, turning the character into one of the recurring face-characters of late-2000s YTPMV. ## Origin The character himself dates back to the 1985 arcade sequel Super Punch-Out!!, where he appears as the World Video Boxing Association champion and the final opponent, throwing a spinning 360-degree Macho Punch that can knock out the player in one hit[4]. He returned in every subsequent Punch-Out!! title. As a meme source, Super Macho Man took off with the Wii release of Punch-Out!! on May 18, 2009, which redrew him with a chunky, cartoon-muscled 3D model and gave him a set of shouted catchphrases[5]. Nintendo developed the game and voiced the character; the fans who cut the first viral YTPMV edits of him around 2009 are not individually documented, so the meme's original editor is unknown[3]. - **Platform:** Punch-Out!! (game character) / YouTube (YTPMV spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2009 ## Overview The Super Macho Man meme is less a single joke and more a recurring source pack for YTPMV and MAD editors. Remixers isolate his bellowed voice clips, most often 'Release the BOGUS!' and 'Crunch Time!', then chop and pitch-shift them to match the beat of an existing song, syncing the samples to his pec-flexing and rope-swinging animations from the 2009 Wii game[1]. The visual half of the format is what makes it recognizable: his oiled, purple-trunked body slapping his chest, mugging at the camera, and getting knocked into the ropes gets cut frame by frame to hit downbeats. Popular soundtracks used for these edits include the bullet-hell track RED ZONE and the Touhou arrange Night of Nights, both YTPMV staples[2]. Alongside the music remixes, straight YouTube Poop edits build punchlines around his soundbites and over-the-top California-bro affect[3]. ## How to Use A typical Super Macho Man edit takes one of his short voice clips, commonly 'Release the BOGUS!' or 'Crunch Time!', and loops or resamples it as the melodic or percussive hook of a remix. Editors then cut his flexing, chest-slapping, and knockdown animations to land on beats. The joke usually lives in how tightly the goofy body-builder animation syncs to a serious or high-energy track[1]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Super Macho Man?
