@shagge: You'd be surprised. Banjo had this sort of stuff as well. For instance did you know that in the UK winky is another word for penis? They got away with making Grunty's full name Gruntilda Winkybunion which they must've thought hilarious.
@cirdain: Funny enough there was previously to be a character named the Trouser Snake in the Rare game It's Mr Pants! Which is a game about a rotund man in his underwear who's a jolly fella. THQ made them change it to the Crayon Snake. No one can stop them this time!
I have edited Trowzer into the first post now that I am not on a phone without that capacity. Fantastic! Also, it's worth saying that the way he'll move should be super great because he'll sort of hop along using his bottom bit.
I'm glad they are also going back to the old Rare practice of giving all the characters names that are filthy double entendres or British colloquialisms.

Just in the UK? Winky is a little kid word for it in the states at least. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if most/all of the English speaking world used it.
Get it. Like "pants", but they can't say "pants" because they're British, I guess.
lol Americans. I'm pretty sure the rest of the world gets it. It's not even that clever. A Trouser Snake is a penis.
I don't think it has anything to do with being American. I've certainly heard the term before.
Ditto. I first heard it a real long time ago...can't remember where, though.
Believe me, you guys, I got it, but even "trouser snake" is slang I only hear old guys use when they're telling a dirty joke. "Trousers" is just a completely dead term in North America outside of that one bit of slang.

I didn't realize it back then and, if Grant Kirkhope is to believe, neither did anyone at Nintendo. He explained that last time he called into a Games Done Quick.

Well... yeah, but if it was Pantz the Snake it wouldn't be a joke.

But I think it's a "Up Your Arsenal" situation where they get away with it because the ESRB isn't going to make a big deal out of it because North American kids barely know what "arse" or "trousers/trouser snake" refer to. The ESRB is just like "Oh, Trowser, like trousers. How charmingly British."
@bisonhero: It seems like a dead term everywhere to me, even in places where trousers is still commonly used. It's one of those silly euphamisms that everyone knows, but nobody actually uses outside of situations like this.
Do kids really not know that trousers = pants? Because I don't actually believe that, unless they're like 5.
What the hell is that thing... I was on board with the main characters (though they did lack personality), but the way this snake is wearing it's shorts... Just come on man haha
Reminds me of Ryan's tweet about Ruffalo on the Avenger's poster: "really, that's the face you're going with?" Lol
Like him! I especially like the description of his personality as "smug" and carrying that 1980s cell phone. I think one of the best attributes of BK was Kazooie's sarcastic attitude and loved it when he would rip on Bottles. If this game has that same type of writing, I'm going to be loving it.
