Conker's is more of an elaborate lowbrow comedy sketch than a real video game. The "game" part works well enough, but the selling point of Conker's Bad Fur Day was always the degenerate humor of its cutscenes. The multiplayer also deserves some credit for being a lot better than it has any right to be.
I really wanted to like this game when I played it because it does a lot right. Probably the best looking game on the N64, and the soundtrack is one of Rare's best. But a lot of the second half of the game is full of annoying segments that are just unfun to play, mostly because they stop focusing on platforming and exploration for other mechanics and genres that are executed poorly. It starts off promising, but eventually just lost me.
An multi flavored ice cream cone of video games. Going from platformer, to survival horror, to first person shooter, and even throwing in a racing segment in there too. That along with hilarious story makes it one of the most unique and enjoyable games I ever played.
what this game lacks in its level design is vastly made up for by how fucking hilarious it is
I don't enjoy beer so I cannot relate to the protagonist
Could be better but still really neat.
still holds up, still as fun and funny as it was in 2001.
Among the more frustrating and strange platformers ever made, but still incredibly singular. Almost a triumph IN its clunkiness. Pretty cool stuff.
When I was a hit I thought it was bad my parents let me have this game, and I'd hide it when friends came over. I was so weird and so ashamed.

this is what right wingers are talking about when they go "what happened to REAL comedy".
What's not to like in this game? Funny dark humor with a surprisingly sad ending.
It feels like the writers watched a lot of South Park and they decided that they wanted to make something similar but like 10 times more unfunny
The 3 key distinctions of BFD:
- A hilarious love letter to the tropes and antics of Looney Tunes style animation/comedy.
- An encapsulation of the golden era of 3D platforming
- Really into poop.

There are so many fun levels and ideas but also a lot of filler, levels that go for way too long and jokes that don't land. Overall it's fine I rather listen to Bladee - Topman (2018) in loop 🐰💯💯🏌️♂️
i love rare as much as the next 90s kid but man this game has not aged gracefully at all
conker's bad fur day is the drakengard of n64 platformers, but replace everything that made drakengard so intriguing with dated film parodies and humor on par with south park and newgrounds. also the literal shit monster that sings that's the only reason people ever remember this game.
multiplayer kicks ass though!

Funny little game. Ends with multiple hours of movie references.
Played through again on Rare Replay. Top tier graphics on the N64, humor mostly still good, but had to quit when I got to the third person shooting against the Tediz. It was bad enough wrestling with the controls against zombies, but it’s impossible with faster enemies with ranged attacks.
Easily my favourite of these woodland creature platformer classics. It's just funny. Crude, but funny.
My favorite game that has multiple near-unplayable segments in it
CONKER GIVES ME A BLOWJOB
Unironically one of the worst games I've ever played
This is probably one of the funniest games that I've ever played, surprisingly where the humour is way more black and emotional than you'd expect from a title like this. The gameplay is overall decent and inventive, but the main draw of this game comes from its humour, storyline and characters - where it does so many little inventive things with it, and especially with how it satirises tropes associated with the platform genre.
I think that the novelty of this game has worn off a bit since when it was released back in 2001, but surprisingly there's a lot of structure to the humour that keeps it really enjoyable - particularly with the cinematic cutscenes and the visual gags which prop up throughout the game. Beyond the vulgarity of the story lies a genuinely well-written story about late adolescence or your early 20s and falling into self-destructive tendencies as the whole world just seems to becoming more and more corrupt, and I especially like how much this game interrogates this idea.
It's really aimless and vignettey, which captures the same tone as a Robert Crumb comic or movies such as Fritz the Cat - all the while it's building towards this conclusion which is about as darkly funny as it is tragic. Really, one of the most powerful visuals in this game comes from when Conker is walking home at night - only that it comes back much later in the game in a slightly revised form.
Simply, the designers knew what they were going for with this game. The only real flaw I could think of comes from how the cutscenes are often unskippable and sometimes it can be grinding with how the humour can often take the form of elongated conversation scenes - which are funny, but sort of lose their edge a bit once you've already seen it for the first time.
I've written way more about this game somewhere else, although it's pretty much a near-masterpiece - probably one of my favourite games from Rareware outside of maybe Perfect Dark.

The humor was pretty charming when it first released and its scenario variety is excellent but the sheer quantity of dodgy design choices (especially near the endgame) and sluggish gameplay animations keep it from being something I'd ever want to replay.
the flower had big milkers and i def jerked off to that in middle school
É engraçado, cheio de referência, os mundos são todos diferentes.
If you like Epic Movie, Scary Movie or Channel Awesome movies, this game is for you
Conker Piss
Este juego lo tiene todo. En serio, de todos los plataformas en 3D que existen, nunca había visto tanta variedad en cada apartado: zonas, personajes y hasta géneros distintos. Encima es punterísimo para una Nintendo 64 y tiene musicote.
conker's bad
For me the most impressive thing about this game is how the managed to fit voice acting, multiple cutscenes and game modes in a single nintendo 64 cartridge
Conker's does a good job at making all of the boss fights fairly enjoyable and the humor is still pretty on point. Some parts of the zombie + WW2 worlds are slogs to get through, but overall, I really enjoyed the variety of gameplay and spot on parodies presented throughout. I would be quite pleased if this got rereleased on PC with better controls.
