“People were talkin' about the brick shit for weeks, they're gonna be fuckin' makin' fun of you for that fire axe shit forever!” — Pat
The infamous Fire Axe is a running joke in Two Best Friends Play. In part ten of Matt and Pat's Silent Hill Downpour Let's Play, Matt accidentally throws the fire axe, the best melee weapon in the game, into a bottomless chasm by pressing RT instead of RB (the button used to run), and Pat ridicules him for it. This is after several occasions where Matt had accidentally thrown his weapons at various enemies in a panic when forgetting which button was the attack button. Immediately after throwing the axe, Matt was attacked by a monster.
