Rayman is a lovable limbless little gremlin, and across all his time around he’s managed to have a partially coherent plot! In this video, I go over everything you should know!

The Bizarre Lore of Rayman
The rabbids did Rayman so dirty they took the spotlight from him
More like Ubisoft decided to not let anyone make Rayman games for years and focus solely on rabbids. It ain't rabbids fault, its Ubisofts
@@kaelisprime9087doesn't change the fact that Rayman has been relegated to side character status in a spin off of his own franchise.
Yea fr
Ubisoft was who did him dirty, not the rabbids, we should have realized this before Nintendo proved it to us by writing them well. That’s why on even a meta level Ramon shoots the board of directors, not the rabbid Kaijus.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Former talk show host, depressed, alcoholic, drug addict, murderer, and government overthrower gotta be my favorite Rayman flavor
John wick rayman is a concept that shouldn't work in a 1000 years and yet in captain laser hawk it does, good job ubisoft?
Same
Apparently, I am rayman
@10omhz72 It probably works so well because the creator of Rayan himself helped with that version of his character because he loved the idea so much. I can only imagine his pride knowing someone loved his character so much they asked to add them to their show.
best gender
The video might be "the bizarre lore of Rayman" but as someone who grew up with origins and legends, i did not know Globox was a father of 650 fucking children and canonically left to get milk
I LOVE GLOBOX
Well I mean, what was he gonna do? All his kids were enslaved, as I have recently learned
@@hudmo4193 i mean its the fact we never see them again after Rayman raving Rabbids while seeing globox in future games (and after that 100 YEAR nap) they somehow either hang out with their dad off screen or globox did not give two shits about them being in that arena
@@Sir_Quirrellook I love kids but if I had 650 kids I’d also leave for milk because holy shit the amount of mouths to feed, plus how annoying they get after a while, times 650?!?? im not saying what he did was right, but i get it
@@Sir_Quirrel quality vs quantity rules would take over so i guess he just pumps kids out like its a normal saturday which means he 100% dont give a shit about his kids
Rayman being a washed up TV host who pulled out a John Wick in _Captain Laserhawk_ really reflects his current state. He used to be young and happy with games he starred in, where did the years go?
Think it's a way to show how's he's treated by ubisoft
He’s not even washed up, he has at most like a week or 2 of a “falling from grace” & then goes on a redemption arch. By all accounts he gets dirty again if becoming irrelevant means getting washed/clean.
@@skootergirl22the irony in that lmao
It’s kind of funny to me that the Rabbids were the reason Rayman went away, and now they’re the reason he came back considering the sparks of hope DLC.
Just like how the minons did for illuminations, both ubisoft and illuminations are French
@@skootergirl22 this is why i dont trust the french
@@skootergirl22 I'm telling you, being Fr*nch is a curse
Captain Laserhawk was a great show in depicting Rayman in an alternate universe. Despite what some critics and fans, i believe the show perfectly depicts what would happen to Rayman if he was taken from the happy-go-lucky Glade Of Dreams into a cyperpunk dystopia.
It's funny that two side characters were more popular then the actual characters
He’s still hopeful & optimistic, even after his meltdown. I think he’s like his origin’s depiction but with a gun.
Eh It has extremely typical acceleration-est themes and a very typical, safe, predictable, oppressed vs the oppresser setting
@@doctordice2doctordice210 Yeah, but the way Ramon reacts to it all is interesting to me, mainly because I like to dig for the Assassin’s creed show that hides beneath/that I made the fuck up.
@@skootergirl22 it’s because the mains are boring as shit or stupid as tar.
Small Correction about the Hoodlum/Red Lum thing. He doesn't scare them, he makes them Laugh. So the positive feeling makes them good again. Probably didn't expect that since he had that "Funny Face" move in the first game, which scared the hell out of those lanky Jungle Explorers (the guys that even appeared again in Origins). So in conclusion, Funny = Good Lum Scary = Hood Lum
Lmfao that ending😂
9:56 I love the idea that Master Hand from smash is just Rayman's hands
So Rayman really *is* in Smash. I'd even say he has been there the entire time.
Rayman deserves some love the rabbits did him dirty 😭😭😭🙏🙏
Bro it’s true hopefully the rabbids dlc will give us hope for a new game
The Rabbids stole his entire career
At least he got his spotlight back in Mario + Rabbids: Spark of Hope DLC. He doesn't get enough love like he used to.
Nah. Ubisoft did. The rabbids are (mostly) innocent in that.
You almost had me there when you said the original Rayman was dead and we were actually following his son😅😂🤣
Same 😅
"you know the drill, statistics, gamersupps, if i have merch, go buy it" casually starts and ends the entire sponsor in one word best sponsor i've seen
Polokus has some real good tastes for creating the Nymph sisters
They can get it 😈
Honestly hearing Rayman change his name to Ramone made me burst out laughing 💀🤣
unrelated but wow you're stunning 😶🌫️
@@cosmicXtropics aww ur too sweet🥹🤍
My best friend from the Rayman forums and I used to call him Ramone as a joke so both of us 100% agree
@@cosmicXtropicsnot as stunning as rayman 🥴
I love the G rated explanation for the events in the Captain Laserhawk show
The laser part of his name is from all the laser tag everyone plays :)
The family-friendly adaptation but nearly word by word. I too like the part where everyone faints from the sugar rush.
17:46 the way he said Arcade Exclusive sounds like his entire SOUL was sucked out of him 💀💀
it's kinda sad that the only rayman game we've gotten in recent years is just a DLC campaign for mario + rabbids sparks of hope. i'm not saying it's a bad game (it's one of my favorites, actually), just a bit disappointed that rayman doesn't get more attention nowadays :( #JusticeForRayman
We are the justice for Rayman, we don’t need Ubisoft! Redeem! Reclaim! Recontextualize!

The Tone Shift between different Rayman Stories is so funny. The Rayman TV Show being mentioned made me very happy.
You have no idea how happy I am to hear someone talk about Rayman with respect on his name, especially to see it come from another big youtuber that might have a chance to help change the tides. I love this freak so much and honestly will take what I can but I still want nothing more than his return.
Rayman is a weird franchise in that while it's a franchise with mainline titles, characters tend to pop up and disappear between mainline games. I personally consider Rayman 1, 2 and 3 a separate continuity from Origins and Legends and don't really know where to put Sparks of Hope, but nevertheless I celebrate the wonder, imagination, dark moments, fun, atmosphere and music of the entire series.
They directly mention the events of 1 in Origins
I think it's just most likely that there's a pretty sizable chunk of time between Rayman 3 and Origins considering so much has changed. The glade is changed immensely just from the 100 year nap between Origins and Legends, so it seems Bubble Dreamer can really cause a lot of flip-flopping. They seem to have just ignored a lot of older continuity though, so idk how well it could all be fit together if they even tried
@@DaNintendude no they referenced it plenty in the rayman dlc for rabbids
When I used to huff gasoline, I saw a character almost exactly like Mr. Dark but he had a hooded cloak and his clothes were cobalt blue (the color of Mr. Dark's trim) and his trim was gold (years later I saw an American dad episode where Stan becomes cyborg with the _EXACT_ same color scheme, so if you're wondering what it looks like, Google American dad blue cyborg stan) and he was a friend who kept the entire universe in a bag and he'd sit on it to keep it from going too crazy, exploding, or possibly even simply escaping. That's all I have to say, but I *had* to say it for some reason.
i love this comment
@@furiousmagician5912 It has the added benefit of being a true story.
@@WhereNothingOnceWas But is there any more details to this true story? Where did the character in question came from? Cause i would like to know more, in paticular about the whole "kept the entire universe in a bag" part. It sounds intriguing.
@@pedrovallefin8406 So, technically I'm not actually supposed to tell the story, but I do it anyway more and more because I care less and less. Where'd he come from? Haven't figured that out. He's either a part of me or an earthling magic user of some sort, most likely the former. He keeps the universe in a bag mostly because a bucket would be too stiff. Why does he do that? To let his imagination run free. Nothing within a cage can be free, and the universe is for all intensive purposes a cage. So he got out, got that in, and let his imagination go. It seemed to have worked out for him, but he really liked the new boots I gave him, so I'm guessing he isn't very imaginative or it's a commentary on cooperation, not sure. This is what my channel is about actually. I've just been trying to finish the first video the last couple months is all. If you wanna know more, subscribe with notes and you'll see when I post it.
It crazy how we jumped from protecting knowledge for kids to pirates and slavery. Thats like Blues Clues shifting to Breaking Bad.
"Steve, we need to cook."
Saw Galactic Nova in the background and thought: 'I wonder if it will explode at some point in the video... Would be weird if it didn't." Don't know why I thought it would be weird. Maybe it's my inner Kirby fan talking or something. But I can say that by the end of this video... I feel oddly content.
"I WISH I HAD POWER TO CONTROL POPSTAR!!!!"
I think the Origins and Legends games should be coming after the original game, before the 2nd one. Since the pirates came from outer space, and since the magicians are capable of building some huge machines and robots, it's easy to assume that they created the pirates for revenge. Aside from this, gorgeous video as always
Interesting idea, however, I like to think that Razorbeard was Mr.Dark’s protégée but he went off to do his own thing after discovering the strength & certainty of steel right after Rayman kicks their ass in what is basically a fan made direct sequel to Rayman 1 made by a funny Finnish man who portrays himself as a living slice of jam toast.
“YEAH!” - Rayman
Haven’t started the video yet but I hope this covers the Rayman Origin cut lore. Cus the fact they cut out the LORE and PLOT of that game but kept the “twist” is something I can never comprehend to this day.
This is the first Choopo video where I already knew basically all of the information in it, and I just kept laughing because I cannot imagine what this sounds like to someone who has no clue about this series. Love you, Rayman.
2:40 Rayman is the only man…ray thing to completely ditch a soulmate for a funny hair thing. Probably explains why his friends don’t stick around it future installments. He probably does something wrong.
Thought he was named after ray tracing
@@skootergirl22 he is actually!
@@DiagonalTanooki even rays of light that replaced his limbs can fit also
Just gonna smooth over the fact that Globot was voiced by John Leguizamos?
Wait, wasn't the thing about Lums that red ones turn into black after being scared, but they turn back to red after someone will make them laugh? Rayman ability to reverse them to red was literally him doing a silly face.
Unrelated opinion: Choppo should make a video about the bizarre lore of SMG4.
I only ever played Rayman Legends but I genuinely really love the game and I am absolutely going to check out that show
Temper your expectations...
same.
I think it's pretty funny that Origins was going to be a literal origin for the character, and then they backed out, yet most people don't even realize that. I like to think the magician in Origins is a different magician than the one in the first Rayman, but I don't really care either way. Legends has a bunch of Teensy magicians, so I could definitely see there being a lot of previous ones over the years. Anyway, Rayman lore is super hecked up and I don't care how connected it all is as long as he just gets more games, I love Legends so much and Rayman characters have awesome designs.
This was a great video. I don’t think I would consider the original animated series as canon but the Rayman continuity is so weird so who knows. Rayman 1 is mentioned in the manual for Rayman Origins so I think they are the same continuity otherwise.
Rabbids ruined Raymans whole career
No it was Ubisoft that ruined Rayman career not the rabbids(kind of)
i love how you left easter eggs on the moon like claptrap, the hocotate ship, the piss beam, i think vectors suit, and nova
The first magician who’s confirmed to be called Pierre in English & French with Rayman (true version being English with Rayman because it’s a French franchise so Andrew being the cousin from “America” [the origins archipelago colonies] & Pierre being the fella we know.) He’s also Rayman’s dad…I mean…JUST LOOK AT HIM.
The origins magician is only mimicing the clothes of the rayman 1 magician (ma hypothesis)
0:12, THE ITALIANS DAMAGE HAS PERSISTED.
14:22 he's not, he was planned to be the same but it has been scrapped and there's nothing saying that they're the same outside of the fact that they share the same name
I’m glad Rayman finally escaped from the Rabbid’s basement
BABE WAKE UP, CHOOPO UPLOADED A RAYMAN VIDEO
Choopo talks about all the wild lore while at the same time adding to his own wild lore. When are we going to get a breakdown of his story?????
One Million special
@@TheGrubGamer god, i hope. that'd be awesome
As a rayman fan, I would say that the only canon games to the franchies are the og trilogy, the raving rabbids trilogy, the ubiart games and the last sparks of hope dlc. With all this aside, you did a great, fun and enjoyable video choopo.👍
Mario X Rabbids X Rayman X Mario
The super star joke at the end got me
so many references on the moon background for this vid. I like it
This comment is for the algorithm
Celui la aussi
It worked
Thank you I needed a distraction like this bro 😭 Life's rough right now and someone abandoned a dog at my job and it's pulling at my heart stings
Rayman is underrated barely anyone remembers him outside of brawlhalla
I say, little know of him, those who remember him stick for life.
Your style of content would be PERFECT for an Animorphs video. It would go hard and it fits the unexpected insanity of your lore videos
“Mom new Choopo vid just dropped 🔥 🔥 🔥”
WHAT DO YOU MEAN POLE VAULTING GOT CRAZY?!? YOURE ON THE MOON!
I always loved the nymphs in origins They were… very well dressed
🤨📸
Ayo, bro!
there is no ayo'ing here that's just straight up facts!
@@ABOMBORCLATWhat ? They were designed for that
24:11 RIP choopo
honestly i loved rabbids tv party so much
bless, few days ago i tried finding a video on raymans lore as he's one of my personal fav characters growing up. but i didnt remember the world or anything as i was a kid. n only videos about rayman are about the history of the games dev so. thank you for this video
Honestly I think the statement, "Rayman divorces" is so powerful (and funny for no reason)
1:33 woah there mr choopo
Why did they draw them like that, were they horny?
Babe wake up new choppo lore dump just dropped
I’m unbelievably excited for this! Your content is incredible!
VIDEO 1 of asking choopo to make a bizarre lore of Sonic the Hedgehog
CHOOPO LOOK OUT, EGGMAN IS GOWING TO PISS ON THE MOON!!!!!
OH MY GOD YOU DONT KNOW HOW LONG IVE NEEDED A RAYMAN LORE THING THANK YOU
16:02 Ssssam was already dead since Hoodlum Havoc, because Razoff has an statue of him (and the statues represent his past huntings)
I feel like Rayman Origins was the peak of Modern 2D Rayman. It was so crazy, that the story was changed very often and in the end, it didn't have anything to do with Rayman's in-world Origins, but his GAME Origins.
Rayman was one of my first childhood crushes
this has reopened a forbidden door of my brain that forgot abt how chaotic the rayman media timeline is..... 😭 (i also enjoy captain laserhawk rayman as a completely different character)
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EXACT VIDEO😭‼️
YOOOOOO FUCK YEAH YOU GOT MY REQUEST DONE! (I kinda remember asking for it) THANK YOU SO MUCH!
It's truly amazing what Nintendo did to bring Rayman back to his same spot.
Theory: the Glade of Dreams is a Pocket-Dimension created by Polokus’s Dream to escape into, like the Elder Scrolls. He exists within the glade by essentially lucid dreaming. This is the same thing with the Mario dimension; it was created by Cassidy’s dreams/interests.
YEEES! I was waiting for NOVA to get exploded the whole video! You made my day by dying in such a funny way. My sincere condolences, although he believed the Math Folder should be blue so he probably deserved it ❤
Ah yes, the ever incosistent lore of Rayman. Thank you for putting logic to it all
im so excited 4 the second season of clh.. raymans character is a guy who loves everyone and wants to bring peace to everyone, just for him to find out his genuine care for his country was manipulated to make him a propaganda mascot adi (the creator of the series) has confirmed that the other rayman characters exist, so im really interested to see if they make an appearance and what theyll do with having "ramon" interact with his old pals
OMG I WAS LIKE SUPER SURPRISED TO SEE THIS BECAUSE RECENTLY MY RAYMAN HYPERFIXIATION CAME BACK SND IVE BEEN DESPERATE FOR CONTENT OF IT 😭😭😭😭
I’ve know Rayman for a while but not really “known” him, probably because of the Rabbids invading his spotlight (and to be honest with you I thought Rabbids were a separate character that had no relation whatsoever to Rayman until the Sparks of Hope DLC dropped) but it was nice to learn more about him and his franchise because I genuinely really wanted to play some of his games.
Just when the world needed him most...he posted a Rayman video on youtube.
Babe wake up, new choopo lore just dropped!🔥🗣️
You missed the fact that the Magician planted a hidden microphone in the tree the gang was sleeping on which was the real reason the snoring was so loud, and the Magician was manipulating them from the start of the game to gather up all the lums in the glade.
18:59 id say there is at least one rabbid in the mario games, which is nabbit. I am only saying that because he looks like one though
1:34 the Bubble Dreamer is so based and smart
I like the Nova Edit-the ending was worth it
17:38 because it only works under certain specific conditions as shown in Rayman 1, Origins and Legends
Yes! So many people are unaware of the lore and boy, am I happy choopo is the one making a Rayman lore video!
4:35 Considering Globox and his species have webbed feet, large mouths, and eyes that sit on top of their heads, I think it's safe to assume they're some kind of amphibian similar to a frog, or at least semi-aquatic. Therefore, it's safe to assume they lay eggs in water. There can be as much as 500 eggs during a single mating season. Though it's often cited that only 1 in 50 survive to become frogs, due to a combination of predators and competition for food with the other tadpoles. If we're low-balling it that would only be 2, if we're high-rolling the number it could be 40-60 little globoxes. HOWEVER! Given that this is a more sentient race, and Globox seems to be somewhat able to defend himself, more than a frog would be able to, I think that they can control the conditions and ensure greater success rates in their survival than their more animalistic ancestors would. While we don't know how fast they age, I think that 650 is a completely reasonable number, especially if they age slower than actual amphibians do given their more evolved state, having it take more than a few years for them to fully mature.
Rayman, Banjo and Kazzoie, and Spyro needs to come back!
omg as soon as you jumped I noticed Nova in te background and I PLEAD that you were gonna make the joke, all I can say is that I'm satisfied
actully thank you for this i couldn't find a video on this so i was completely lost for the mario plus rabids dlc
Choopoo, I will hold you at gunpoint to do the guilty gear lore
I've waited all day for this
Finally a video who speaks normally about CLSH version, this was super fun!
You completely glossed over the yellow Lums and the fact that they make up the heart of the world
In the moments with choopo on the screen there is the ship from pikmin, a planet from a hat in time (not sure abt this one) the purple comet might be from adventure time, next to it is the death egg from sonic adventure, the castle is from super mario odyssey and finally we have claptrap from borderlands next to the american flag. Lemme know if i got those right or if i missed something
The smiling friends boss laugh had me actually on the floor laughing
Finally I waited years for this😭
OMG THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS 😭😭😭
You somehow make a video about every franchise I was obsessed with from my childhood, even moshi monsters, club penguin, super monkey ball which were such random obsessions of mine. so when’s Yo Kai Watch. 🧐
"Mr Dark has not been seen for 20 years" played for comedic effect of course -- but my favourite "newest" iteration of him is actually in _Rayman Mini_ , which you covered a little so I'm sure you're aware. Still, the artwork for him in this game... _chef's kiss_ Easily one of my favourite characters from the franchise that feels like he could've / should've been a Darth Vader and instead was a Darth Maul. But!! So is Razorbeard. So... like you said. People don't really stick around in this franchise.
You should try covering the lore of the Delicious Emily games. They've gone from a Diner Dash competitor to pretty much a soap opera with every game, and that's not counting the spinoffs featuring other recurring characters within the franchise.
I learned so much bout ray
FINNALY A VIDEO WITH A THING WITH REAL LORE
