Taking tooting to a new level

A guitarist looks appalled in Trombone Champ.

Trombone Champis a good joke. I played it once, chuckled along with its simulated tooting, and haven’t felt any compulsion to return.

I will click on any Trombone Champ video I come across online, however. Armed with some community-made modding tools, creative players have added custom songs to the game, with custom models and backgrounds. At their best, these videos turn a good joke into a complete comedy sketch. And the person making them at their best isGloomhonk.

There’s more to watch over onGloomhonk’s channel, although none are as fancy as those above. If you’re hungry for more drama behind your tromboning,this custom Final Fantasy 7 track might still be the greatest.
