Fastest way to finish Thank Goodness You're Here! (2024): Waiting for the Mayor

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2024
- Thank Goodness You're Here! is an indie comedy adventure game developed by Coal Supper and published by Panic. Players take the role of a travelling salesman who performs odd jobs for the residents of a bizarre town in Northern England. It is available for macOS, Nintendo Switch, Windows, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. The PC versions are sold both on Steam and the Epic Games Store. It was released on August 1, 2024
You can end the game early if you wait for the mayor for 15 - 16 minutes in real time in case you don't want to play the entire section of the game which involves helping Barnsworth citizens
This is just like in Far Cry 4 :D You can also finish that game just by waiting for Pagan Min to come back into the room where you start and that's it. Nice this :)
Yup. Boy, I was about to comment that but you got to me first
And farcry 5 by waiting to cuff seed. You realize it's no use.
Ah yes, the Crab Rangoon Ending.
Same in The Witch's House.
Also in Bendy and the Dark Revival where if don't get up at the start of the game, it just rolls credits
Finally we can spare the chimney guy.
I felt so bad for that guy. Especially when you overhear the conversation of him having a condition. Potentially dementia.
@@Leinad44 Wait what!? When?
I felt so bad every time I got pushed down by the sweep
@@SpammingY probably from his wife
Barely related topic, if you help Nick set up both his brick shop and the second - hand shop. You can give the daft muppet living behind that wall one last push beyond the edge.
The achievement picture for that gag is great.
Him asking for mustard is a little more reasonable considering that in this route you didn’t get mentally and physically exhausted dealing with the rest of the town
@@ariannasv22 OP means that it's less of a slap in the face for the lord-mayor to ask you to do a stupid errand on his behalf when it's technically the first task you do in town rather than the final one of many, many stupid errands
Yeah, i bet after playing the game "properly" its like oh, okay MAYOR MUSTARD why don't i just BEND OVER BACKWARDS YET AGAIN
To be fair to the mayor, I don't really think he knows everything else that's happened in the town. He probably just assumes you were just traveling through town and not constantly pressured into stuff, you just looked around the shops and sights for a bit and came back.
What if Mustard is what you're here to sell?
@@linksnivey1161or hes just as insane as the rest of the town.
I like how the developers even managed to make waiting for a half hour feel like a monty python skit
In what way?
@@CoolusGuyus Monty Python could make dead silence a gut busting punchline, firstly. Secondly, much of their brand of humor was in doing normal things completely incorrectly, like trying to play solitaire by sticking playing cards to a screen over and over. That and the radio going and then stopping, the air conditioner puffing in the background, and all the little sounds that scream waiting room make the entire sequence feel drenched in parody, which it is.
And then they end on the line that the main guy didnt have to wait at all, because the mayors schedule had been cleared specifically for this meeting. It feels so much like a skit that we would return to every so often during an episode, checking in on the man in the waiting room and all the nothing that had happened so far.
@@Deathstorm501 thank you for the explanation, I’m not well versed enough in python and you went to the effort of going in depth, I appreciate it
Just noting that her notes on the monitor say "FEED FISH" "AND SON"
As if there weren't enough signs that this town hasn't got a single braincell in a three mile radius.
Bro, it gets worse the more you watch her. She's trying to stick the cards to the screen, which besides the joke being that's not how you play; she's also licking the FRONT of the card and sticking the back to the screen. There's only one intelligent person in the town, and it's essentially your job to fly down his chimney and ruin his day
@@gabrieleslinger6169the funniest thing about that is that Meggs thinks he's losing his mind because he keeps complaining about some little guy dropping from his chimney 😂 no wonder he's a shut in, the town's filled with crazy people that thinks he's the crazy one.
its probably the mercury
After watching for a time, I've realized she's not even licking the right side to stick it on
I’ve also noticed that Charlie, the guy with his arm stuck in the gutter, magically ends up with the street side of the gutter the wrong way on his arm. Can’t unsee it once you realize.
I’d like to think this is entirely intentional and he pulled his arm out and stuck it through the other way. Reggie’s wife could learn a thing or two.
She just likes the taste of the cards.
Reggie's wife could learn a thing or two
I also realized she's sticking the cards onto a computer screen playing Solitaire. She was playing Solitaire while playing Solitaire
I think the town is just entirely vacated of their braincells, and they have no idea what they’re doing and just go along with how the day goes.
Reggie’s wife could learn a thing or two.
@@nameforcomments4092 😐
I like that the receptionist has solitaire on her computer, but doesn't have the tech savvy to use a computer, so she's just randomly licking cards and hoping they count. And yes, she could just play regular solitaire on the counter, but that detail just serves as a reminder of the insanity you will see in the townsfolk.
also, she's licking the *front* of the card and pressing the *back* against the screen, so it wouldn't even stick... :p
Notably she also keeps trying to play aces, which you never wanna do in solitaire cuz they start off the piles you build
To be fair, we have confirmation in-world that people drink 'leaded water', and still use bismuth and mercury for medicine. (Bismuth might not be so bad considering pepto bismol, but I don't think it's that)
@@opalescent4694along with several cases of insanitary and “poisoned”(not sure if cigarettes would count as poison) food
Want to see her play minesweeper.😅
The timeline where the town is about to implode faster... except the chimney guy.
Yeah… I feel bad for him, he seems like the only normal person in this town
And the deep-fried baby
@@suakeli Poor baby turned into crispy fried chicken and the mom added some salt on it while still crying. Oof, I feel bad for helping that lady who cook french fries
Debatably you kinda enable the destruction
@@amysymiltongamequeen6292Sorry to be British but chips are very much different to fries 🤡 Please do not mix them up it’s PAINFUL
'Thank you for clearing your schedule Mr. Mayor, now... *We've been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty* '
Haha XD
“Extended warranty? How could I lose!”
Imagine you accidently leave the game on for some time and come back to see credits rolling
I mean… the receptionist said to sit and wait, not to go out and be physically and mentally exhausted doing the increasing ridiculous demands of Barnsworth’s citizen of just simple things (or doing their actual jobs)
Lil guy doesnt even blink, he looks like a plushie someone left in the chair😂
Actually a plushie of the lil lemon fella would be adorable. I want one
Dont be silly. That plushie would blink. Once a week. And just out of your sight so that every time it does, you flinch and panic and just forget about it until it does it again.
@@invurret9533 yep even the homemade ones do
No wonder Barbara is struffling with her game of Solitaire !
She has 22 Aces of Spade, maybe more
She should be playing Balatro instead with that kind of deck
@@alexsiemers7898 she would play balatro by playing it like solitaire (and you know how she plays solitaire..)
dude didn't bother speeding up the video, He had to wait that long and so do we. respect
Actually...I didn't even bother to edit the raw recording other than reducing the video's bitrate (Original is 4500 bitrate). Trust me, I actually counted how long I need to wait until the Mayor appears and let you have your business meeting with him. It's 15-17 minutes, I was playing Mobile Legend while letting the game idle as I keep my eyes on my phone's clock until I hear the Mayor's voice
18:18 Theory: the Mayor is his dad. Hearing his son was patiently waiting to speak with him, he excitedly puts everything on hold to spend quality time with his son. He thought it would be nice to have lunch with his boy, but the mayoral mustard is missing. Perhaps they can find it together.
Love that idea
The town just hasn’t been the same since the mayor’s son left for that job in the big city
that explains why they look alike
either that or they look alike as its tradition for a single little yellow man to show up and fix all of the townsfolk's problems, where then eventually he's voted to be their new mayor, where he eventually becomes this bigger fellow, as another little yellow man appears and starts solving problems..... the life cycle of a helpful little yellow man
YES, they even have the same bloody eye color, it would make sense that he would be the protagonist’s dad!
And here I thought this ending would finally reveal just what the heck the little guy is selling...
Maybe mustard?
It DID reveal what the mayor looked like at least
@@tik2243 plot twist, he only sells mayo
Could be medicine
It's explained at the start of the game. He's selling what Barnsworth needs.
Much like in real England, the best thing to do is nothing.
The actual best thing to do is leave
Dread it, run from it, the mayoral mustard dissapears all the same.
I like how almost every lets play I have seen correctly guessed that there would be something special that happened if you decided to wait long enough
It was a pain to even find this video. I guess barely anyone thought to wait
@@inspectorjavert9868 I mean you wouldn't think that you can do this in the game. I didn't know that I can do this until the TVTropes site spill out a secret thing that you can do in the game
As a fan of the live action Hollywood les misérables, I salute your name and pfp good sir!
@@amysymiltongamequeen6292 I bet that the reason even found this was due to the trophy.
It just popped up in my recommendation
@@daishawn2884Considering so many of my videos buried by TH-cam's algorithm way too many times. I'm glad that any of my video get the slightest exposure really
Imagine playing this for the first time and actually waiting, only for the game to end like a minute after the wait ended

I love that this is a viable speedrun strat. Min% and any% are almost never the same route
Nice to know that the whole ordeal that is this game is meaningless because the Mayor had his schedule cleared for the whole day, and the secretary apparently missed the memo.
ANY% NO TASKS SPEEDRUN (no glitches or exploits)
I feel like doing nothing would just be a low% speedrun, as there might be something that you could do during any% that would make it 3 milliseconds faster
@@ack7 Intro better
@@ack7 Gotta fine a way to get out of the window without knocking down the cooler tank.
WAIT. The lil guy and the mayor looks alike. I was skipping through a playthrough to watch some favorite bits and then I saw the butcher say something like "i never thought I'd have the big man himself come here"
What if the people who said "thank goodness you're here!" are those who thought the lil guy was the mayor? Cause it would make no sense why people recognized him when its his first time in town
I think the theory of the little guy being the mayors son makes more sense. Still could be the townspeople recognizing him as the mayors son though.
The Big man the butcher is referring to is Ron fron Big Ron's pies. Cause usually Ron gets his meat somewhere else, but now Ron had to come to the butcher for meat. (or at least send someone to get it)
I knew it, I KNEW there was going to be an ending like this, there's zero reason why the devs would NOT add an ending like this.
That's not how computer solitaire works.
Still, nice to know somebody posted this route.
One of the reason why Barnsworth is just a city full of weird people and a lot of weird situation happening
I just love the Far Cry ending joke were you just finish the game easier.
Is the little lemon fella even alive? He doesn't look like he's breathing
Unfortunately for him he is alive
Thank goodness you're here I've been trying to find a video like this for a while but so far have had no luck
Beat me to the punch-
Try giving the app a good smack next time ey?
Nice video, this one. I tell you, Reggie's wife could learn a thing or two.
No doubt about that, haha
"finish fast" 😭😭
I don't know why it felt so ominous but after some time, the radio just fades into awkward, suffocating silence which actually made the wait even more grueling 😅
Wayyy too accurate to life- I love this game so much lol
I really hope theres just a pile of cards on the floor from the secretary
I wonder why the mayor looks so much like our player charcyer
@@frownyclowny6955 That's one mystery that only the developer know
maybe because they also help the town alot as a mayor 🤔
long lost father
@@amysymiltongamequeen6292I can make a decent guess, given lemon is a common stand-in for phrases like “idiot” in British slang.
A plot point and an answer why the town doesn't care about the main guy roaming in town.
He was mistaken as The Mayor.
I checked the speedrun page for this game. Any% actually allows you to do this but they had to make a separate "Story%" category that bans this specific strategy just so runs can be more interesting.
I knew the speedrun tech for this game was gonna be insane.
I love her little computer dust bunny guy
That tiny dust bunny thing is probably supposed to be a logo bug I remember seeing receptionists and desk clerks having some on their computers. Charities and organisations would give them out as a promotional thing
@@cyberhermit4381 still a funky fresh little fella even if he’s not exclusive…
“Thank goodness you’re here” but you’re actually there for the entire game
Fun little headcanon, since the mayor looks like the protagonist’s father:
After the “looking for the mayoral mustard”, the mayor takes stock of his son looking like he’d been put through the wringer. “Bloody hell, lad, you’re rather worse for wear, aren’t you? Sit down, sit down!” Protagonist sits, mayor sits next to him (imagine the classic ‘character bounces up after person bigger than them sits down’ gag), and the mayor asks “so, my receptionist told me you’ve kept yourself busy while you were waiting! Guess work’s not keeping you busy enough, eh?” Protagonist doesn’t say anything, he’s exhausted, and the mayor notices, cuts his sandwich in half, and says “how ‘bout we split this, then I can give you a tour of the town? I cleared my schedule for today, just so we can have some father-son bonding!” Protagonist smiles, like actually smiles, and as the two settle on eating, the mayor smiles and says “guess you still haven’t hit your growth spurt, eh? It’ll happen one of these days, then you’ll just like your old man!”
That’s just my personal headcanon, like a “happiest ending” scenario.
If the mayor opens the door for you, can you still leave the other way and proceed with the game normally?
I think you still can. After all...the exit door still open even after the Mayor opened the door for you to enter his meeting room
The idea of that is so fucking funny. Wait nearly half an hour, the big guy finally opens the office door after clearing his whole schedule only to watch this little lemon man strut right out the door.
the little grey thing on the monitor, the eyes move
Edit: The light switch next to the door wiggles, and so does the weird white sensor thing next to the front door
What the fuck, they do!
But why?!
2 of the lights on the ceiling fan also move.. which scares me for some reason.
This is what gaming was made for
When I watched Jacksepticeye play it, I thought this was possible. Also, she's licking the front of the cards and trying to stick them on.
I watched the intro so many times that i finally understood partly what the opening song was saying.
And I thought I saw all there was to this game.. you know, after watching 2 TH-camrs play it fully. Other than a longer ending song from the other guy, nothing was majorly different.
And I finally got to see the mayor but I still dunno what the tiny man is selling.
There's a few different versions, several of which being somewhat-cheeky or dirty.
The one here is the version below, chopped-up and with some edits (it starts at the lady verse but puts the intro with that):
The Marrow Song (Oh What a Beauty)
[as recorded by the Billy Cotton Orchestra]
Verse 1:
Down the road there lives a man I'd like you all to know.
He grew a great big marrow for the local flower show.
When the story got around they came from far and wide,
And when the people saw the marrow, ev'rybody cried:
CHORUS: Oh, what a beauty! I've never seen one as big as that before.
Oh, what a beauty! It must be eighteen inches long, or even more.
It's such a lovely colour, and nice and round and fat,
I never thought a marrow could grow as big as that.
Oh, what a beauty! I've never seen one as big as that before.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, what a beauty! We've never seen one as big as that before.
V2. He was leaning on the garden gate the other day
And beckoned to a lady who lives just across the way.
He took her down the garden path and showed it her with pride,
And when she saw the size of it, the little lady sighed:
CHORUS: Ooh, what a beauty! She'd never seen … [etc.]
V3. Then the flower show was held and ev'rybody went
To see the great big marrow lying there inside the tent.
Soon the judges came along to give the prizes out.
They only took one look at it and then began to shout:
CHORUS: Oh, what a beauty! We've never seen … [etc.]
Buttery nubs
I should buy this. I need some dry, British comedy in my life rn.
Rip the rest of the town who are stuck with their own problems. 😂😂😂
took long enough for someone to post this
oh she's licking the front of the cards. thats why they keep falling off.
18:08 is when the Mayor appears...
oh man now we know what he looks like!
im sure speedrunners will find a way play the whole game faster. if they havent already
I remember seeing the achievement on steam so i figured this would work
Whacka :)

Imagine if someone unknowingly got this ending, thinking that was all there was
Aint it a bit strange that the mayor and the main character look the same? Yellow skin, orange hair, blue eyes, bit weird innit?
But then again we would never find out that Reggie's wife gets around 😂
I figured this was a route, but if I had gone through with it I wouldn’t have experienced this fever dream of a game
In year 4 my class went on a residential trip to Nell Bank, and on one of the days we all had to go on a big walk while singing Ilkley moor bar't'at for a big chunk of it, and they taught us the lyric "where the ducks fly backwards quack" but I've never heard any mention of this line ever since. Is it just like an inside joke within the Nell Bank staff? Common knowledge among the locals? Did I hallucinate this? Is Yorkshire even a real place
It's usually "where the ducks play football" among the locals. But I'll grudgingly accept alternatives.
Oh wow I wasn't expecting to get an actual answer! Thank you!!
Never knew the mayor has a face
the good ending.
She draws the ace of spades 22 times, the five of hearts 32 times, the three of clubs 30 times, and gets a bad card 22 times. When she gets the spade she :) smiles, when she gets the heart she goes :O gasp, and when she gets the clubs she doesn't change her face.
There are so many neat little animations here. The glare of the computer screen, the light reflecting on the glass, the ceiling fan tinking, the light switch jiggles a bit. And the town emblem has a boiled egg on it?
Lol, this was my first thought when I watched someone play.
Can't wait for a speed run of this game
Maybe someone who is an expert in speedrun can do it
@@amysymiltongamequeen6292 there's not really such thing as an "expert at speedrunning," it's just people who are really passionate about a game, that's literally all it takes to speedrun a game :)
sure some people are better at it than others, but generally people only speedrun stuff they're passionate about
What? Respectfully, this comment is an act of gross negligence against itself. Saying there are no experts at speedrunning is absurd itself. Then, contradicting it by saying "some people are better at it than others" is absolutely crazy. There are SO many speed runners that speedrun for the sport of it, many speedrunners don't even like their game, whether from playing it to it's limits or never initially liking it. They speedrun because they know they're masters of their craft.
@@doomslayerobama speedrunning at ONE GAME, sure, you can be an expert, speedrunning for literally any game ever, no
point is, people can be experts at speedrunning a game they like, but they're also gonna be shit at speedrunning other games, so don't worry about being an expert or not, just go speedrun and have fun :D
1:10 Hunger games fans will remember this
Best Easter egg - waiting makes an ending as speed run like some games.
Can't wait to see this run at AGDQ!
Huh, just noticed Florence calls Roger, Mr. Peelings, I thought he was her dad
Oh wow, that's hilarious. Didn't expect there to be an alternate way to beat the game!
OH but that poor poor fellow his arm is still caught as he awaits lubercaion!
I like to think your company sells mustard which is why you are there
It would have been pretty cool if waiting had forced you to play the game with the same people and problems, but different solutions for all of them, with the end of the game being finding the mayoral mustard under the mayor's desk.
That explains why everyone is just ok with you running around doing things, they think you're the mayor.
I don't know how intentional it is here, but this is a really funny way of saying "don't speedrun my game". The optimal speedrun is literally doing nothing for 80% of the game, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
imagine making a game where speedrunning is about who can wait but faster

So that’s what the Mayor looks like… Didn’t expect him to look kinda similar to the Protagonist. As if they might be related…
The mayor does look a lot like the tiny salesman
The speedruning for this game is bought to be epic
Ending guide:
1. Open game
2. Wait for intro
3. Keep sitting
4. Grab a cup of tea and pull up your phone
Crazy speedrun
So this game is basically smiling friends 😂
Thank you for saving this for us!
Anyone else notice his eye slowly moves ajar in the first cutscene?
I just realized that build up tone after he says he lost the mustard makes no sense in this context.
I like that in this timeline half the townsfolk are just proper fucked
I KNEW that was a thing you could do lol
I'm kind of disappointed they didn't change the ending for this route. The final line doesn't carry any weight whatsoever.
Speedruns of this game are going to be crazy.
its r ey t good
I don't think anyone would've thought to wait in the room for 15 minutes straight.
I legit thought it would be just waiting for your turn before playing the game.
*I was right.*
Can't wait to see the speedruns
Imagine that you waited and got a secret quest where u try to get the mayoral mustered
I now wanna see a speedrun category for this game that's just sitting there and waiting.
