Giving an answer that stumps the fact checker is legendary
best kind of spoiler. I know exactly what's going to happen but don't know what how it's going to happen.
@@chrisnotaperson8127 didja see it?
"Above ground ghoul" is a 10/10 joke amazing job
Could you explain it please? 😊
Ghoul = pool
It’s better than “New York Ghost” by a long shot
It works on multiple levels! Mike is really quick witted.
We need an episode with Amy, brennan and matt mercer.
I don't know if Trapp would be able to finish reading a single question in that episode
@
Trapp: "In the-"
All three contestants: *Buzz.* "Um, Actually..."
Gutz needs to be there too
6 way Um, Actually with Gutz, Ify, and Shane also in there
Elite Circle "Um Actually" would be pretty killer
Amy is the new Brennan. She's immediately busting out the most arcane knowledge and sighing.
Get in the comments!
She is the Brennan of all things Comics
her segments were the best when geek and sundry had a youtube
Now we need a gutz Brennan and Amy showdown!
@@FritztheChef ukku
Okay, 2 people getting Saitama correct just because "he looks dumb as hell and probably did like 100 push-ups a day" is amazing.
Ngl, before he lost his hair, he looked super hot to me... After? Well, I'm a Genos type girl
"pestilence isn't a horseman because they didn't know this whole vaccine thing would happen" turned out to be so much more right than she realized holy shit
When was this recorded?
@@esoterra1024 It's from the book Good Omens which was released in 1990
@@esoterra1024 this episode is probably from 2018 or 2019, considering they switched to remote in 2020
Pestilence isn't limited to viruses though.
@@SphincterOfDoom Penicillin doesn't do anything for viruses
"Radiation may give you hell, but arsenic is forever" is too raw of a line for me to ever forget Pollution.
Pestilence retired after the invention of penicillin, because having a big plague or pandemic after that just wasn't realistic.
This aged so well right :/
@@LeumGaming This comment was made 13 hours ago so it hasn’t aged much
@@risottopose9970 I was referring to the world view/author's intent- not the comment
@@LeumGaming Ah
Man, The fact that were never going to get Terry Pratchett's social commentary about 2020 hurts.
Um, Actually, Saitama's superhero name isn't "One Punch Man". While it is the name of the manga/show, in canon he's only refered to by his name or as "Caped Baldy".
yes because the hero association assigned him his code name he didn't get to pick it
But he knew that is what he would be saddled with long before it became official, he never had an idea for what to call himself.
i love that he even predicted that would be the name he got assigned
I think everyone forgot about Genos' superhero name too even though it's a really really cool "Demon Cyborg"
It's so funny to me when someone cringes at themselves when they get a question right. We're used to people hating insufferable know-it-alls, but this game show exists where that's your objective, so there's gotta be some real cognitive dissonance going on
and that is so silly, Amy knowledge of nerd stuff is pretty amazing, a lot of times we see people here stumbling on the right answer while she got 100% on two shinning questions, its the first time I see that. we have to admit that it was awesome.
Imagine hating someone for knowing something
@@spelcheak I’ve seen some real assholes on TH-cam comments when they know something others don’t
Unless it's Grant, then he'll try to regale you with inconsequential stories from when he lived in New York. Truly, Grant Anthony O'Brien is like a gay male Britta stretched way too thin.
Amy is like the female Gutez. She always seems to be embarrassed for knowing so much 😆
Fun fact: I once rocked the Tidus shorts look, and did, in fact, get sent home to change.
That's fun!
How dare they! Also: pics or it didn't happen :p
Um actually, the ghoul in the HP universe is usually considered a pest but like the garden gnomes the Weasleys kinda consider him more of a pet. When Harry first visits he is really excited about the chores that Ron has to do, like ridding the garden of gnomes and quieting the ghoul. While the chains seem mean, they seem to be a prized noisemaker for the ghoul and he gives Harry a chocolate frog card he found when Harry returns the chains to him. The ghoul also plays an important role in the last book, when the twins and Mr.Weasley partially transfigure the ghoul to look like Ron with a very contagious wizard disease (Spattergroit I think) so that the Weasleys have a cover for why Ron isn’t in school, or in their home!
Um, actually, isn't that from the licensed video game of Chamber of Secrets, and maybe specifically the Game Boy Color version? I guess I'm not sure how that fits into canon
@@andymonserud9029 the only video game thing might be the chocolate frog card for returning the chains but the rest is covered in the books. Harry is intrigued by “wizard” chores in the book and the ghoul is discussed but I don’t think he has any direct contact with the ghoul until they later tansfigure him. He’s definitely glossed over in the movie. I’ve only read the books and seen the movies so I feel like if I know that those parts they didn’t come from a game🤔
@@lisahoshowsky4251 yeah, that all sounds right. I do distinctly remember the chocolate frog bit from the game. I'm not sure whether that's also in a book but if so it seems an odd addition
Um, actually ghouls are kind of like house elves for poor families - they do nothing useful, but are sort of bonded to the house like their subservient counterparts.
Nothing you said is wrong, I just thought the parallel was cute even if it's as on the nose as a lot of other elements :)
“We’re very sneaky and we do suck” is a perfect alternative tag line for the show.
Or, now that I think about it, a good slogan for a quiet Roomba.
I know this is a re-run, but umm actually the quibbler doesn't have reporters, just an editor that accepts stories from readers that send them in. Rita Skeeter was blackmailed into writing a story for the quibbler, and was not paid for her work.
I was going to say this too!
Thank you I thought this was the case but wasnt sure if I was misremembering or not.
I was going to say this too. The Quibbler is a one-man show, and Xenophilus Lovegood just makes stuff up. He's no more a reporter than Alex Jones.
@@ashleyzinyk4297 I'm sorry but you are giving Alex Jones too much credit
Additionally, "one punch man" is not a name of a character, that was saitama or "caped baldy" as his hero name.
"In the beginning" was a fun shiny question. If there is ever an Um, Actually focused on anime you can make a tricky version of "In the Beginning" that is full of isekai anime protagonists. Half of the origins could be "A salaryman dies and is reborn in a world where..." and the other half could be "a teenager is transported to another world where..." and make the only real difference between each would be the last 5 words of the sentences.
It would be even cooler if all the answers were occupations: "...they become a great chef/veterinarian/farmer/urb"an planner/librarian..."
or make it about how they die
"gets hit by a truck after grocery shopping"
"gets hit by a truck trying to save a little girl"
"gets hit by a train while riding a bus"
"gets hit by a truck trying to save their friend"
(all of these are real and different from one another)
@@tychoderkommentator2989 You forgot "dies of embarrassment after pissing themselves after NOT getting hit by a truck".
@@ccggenius Ahh, who could forget our dear Kazuma
@@tychoderkommentator2989 What's said is if you change "trying to save a little girl," to "trying to save a child," I can name at least four characters that happened to off the top of my head.
The shot at the end at 33:05 of everyone losing their minds and melting into the couch after missing the Yugoslavia question is pure gold. Wonderful episode with a great trio. I really think Amy could give Brendan a run for his money!
*Brennan
I'm Croatian and I got annoyed at the Yugoslavia bit at first, thinking that the fact that it doesn't exist won't be the mistake - gotta say that the reveal was extra satisfying 😎
Same here
Americans have a staggeringly terrible reputation for geographical knowledge so I kinda get it
@@anthraxboi not long ago an USA news broadcast had a map with Czechoslovakia broadcasted. But that's not only happening in USA, people get confused about countries/languages everywhere.
Drago mi je da si ti napisala, jer sam doslovno bio u procesu pisanja lmao
Yeah my grandpa was Yugoslavian and I was cringing at her answer lol
Um actually the Abyss isn't Hell. It's a sort of primordial nothingness that conforms to the nature of whatever Demon rules over that particular area of the Abyss. Also any area that has been exposed to the Abyss or powerful Abyssal creatures long enough will eventually become part of the Abyss forever. Hell is a very different place and there are in fact nine of them which are inhabited by Devils and in Avernus, the First Hell, there is an eternal war between Demons and Devils where the Abyss meets the Nine Hells called the Blood War. In fact, the Archdevil of Avernus, Zariel, used to be a celestial being who abandoned her home and fell from grace to lead the armies of Avernus against the never ending tide of Demons because she felt it was better to have the Hells exist than to let the Abyss consume everything.
Um actually, the DC for that history check is 25, and your +4 history with a nat 20 is only 24, so you didn't actually succeed, please redact your statement.
I love Amy's reaction when Trapp says the "Book by it's Cover" is going to be comic books.
Emma's is definitely a "I know who has won this one already" with sigh of accepted defeat
I love how nerdy Amy is! More than once she got "all of them correct!"
Amy is great! I’d love her and Gutz on an episode of this together - they both are so adorable when they answer, and they just know so freaking much!
There is no greater joy in life than watching Amy Dallen sweetly and kindheartedly crush any and all who would oppose her.
I totally thought of Gutz (sp?) when she got embarrassed about answering correctly :)
Yes, totally!
Yes!!
yes i love gutz!!
Well, we now know Pestilence in Good Omens could come back out of retirement, and would have a large army helping him in our current time! Don't know whether to laugh or sigh.
I'm just focused on how good Amy was, it blew me away.
The Good Omens question had me jumping out of my chair and geeksplaining to the empty room. I would've over-answered that question SO hard! I love Good Omens, and with season 2 coming up, it's all very fresh in my mind.
I love Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett in general. I am a lesbian, but i am very straight for Neil Gaiman. (its his voice)
Yess!! I was yelling. That's not how you pronounce Crowley!!!! Its Crow-Lee!!
I think the Weasleys' house ghoul comes back in the last book, when Ron uses him to trick his family into think Ron is just sick so he can go fight a war
Right, except he doesn't trick his family. His family uses it to trick the government so their enemies wont be tipped off. :)
Yeah he pretends he has spattergroit and that's why he isn't going back to school. The ministry comes and checks on him at some point so they use the ghoul.
Why do I know this
Um actually, he doesn’t do it to trick his family since they’re in on it, he does it to trick anyone else who comes by
With 2020 hindsight, the notion that Pestilence retired because of penicillin is laughable
Pestilence is the John Wick of the Four Horsemen.
Pestilence retired; antivax took over.
Pollution is a much bigger issue these days though. Covid may be new and scary but it won't last long and it won't take long before pollution is killing more people again, if it isn't currently.
Happy Friday, fellow routine watchers of Um, Actually!
Happy Friday!
huzzah!
A fine day to you, my friend
Um, actually, new episodes are posted on Saturday morning in my time zone, not friday
@@chromatos7428 1 Point!
25:10 That happened to me! I was hosting a game of Um Actually for a geeky non-profit I volunteer at, and one of the participants kept answering "Um Actually that's wrong" to my many and varied incorrect statements. No matter how many times I told him that that wasn't enough, that he had to correct me, he kept doing it.
Amy killed it. She could've had a few more if she said Umm Actually
She only lost 1 point this way.
So, am I ever going to see ProZD on here? He mentioned it a long time ago, and I keep anticipating him showing up. Always great to see Schmoedown folk.
The episode is in a later season
He’s in the anime episode on dropout. The audio is kinda fucky, but they were finding their 2020 footing
He's on one of the Lockdown episodes, which is currently available if you're a CH channel member. Maybe there was some weird rights stuff during the... "incident"? I don't know. Might be on Dropout. This episode is from late 2019 I think, so perhaps it'll just be a while before they get up to that one.
He is in a season 4 episode. TH-cam releases are only in the middle of season 2 right now.
@@Taurusus Originally full episodes of um actually were only on dropout and were one of the selling points of the subscription service (only snippets were on TH-cam). They started releasing them on TH-cam during the pandemic with ad inserts filmed by Trapp from home. So there is a long backlog before we catch up.
The entire panel flattened by the last question is priceless. 😂
The final question making all of them melt into the couch for how pedantic it is... that's the kind of entertainment I am looking for.
it wasnt even that pedantic my guy
@@_miak Yeah more just misdirection
“We didn’t pick any of the really iconic covers” but you picked action comics #1??
Only because they wanted to trick people into calling it Superman.
I think he meant for Watchmen specifically
Another great episode… haven’t even finished it
appreciate the vote of confidence
@@umactually When Trapp is the host, what else can you expect?
@@umactually I absolutely read this in Trapp’s voice
I almost forgot that I fall in Love with Amy everytime I see her being a a wonderful ray of sunshine with her knowledge of all things comics just interacting with the world
Sitting here YELLING "SIRENS OF TITAN" and feeling like my English degree just paid off.
I feel like Amy could really give some folks a run for their money.
I'd love to see her and Brendan on an episode.
@@FabbyTravy Um, actually, his name is Brennan.
The best game would be a 4 person between Amy, Gutz, Brennan, and Matt
@@atsiaz4624 I feel like they would need 50% more questions to let everyone strut their stuff, but that would be amazing.
Amy actually used to have a comic book discussion show on Geek and Sundry while critical role was still broadcast there. It was called the Wednesday Club, and she, along with Taliesin Jaffe and Matt Key, would do discussions on a number of comics, sometimes with guests. It ended a few years ago, but was incredibly interesting.
More Um, Actually, what a treat! I also got so excited to get the Good Omens question right because I’ve watched the series with David Tennant and Michael Sheen dozens of times, and I always loved how they swapped Pestilence for Pollution as modern medicine evolved.
"Um actually, my other son has dragons"...
I have never realised how cool Bill actually is!
Um actually, Charlie has dragons. Bill is a curse breaker, working for a bank.
I just found this series and rewatched all of this year's youtube releases ending today. A new one pops up and I'm up for it!
Umm, actually, airports often have perfectly reasonable exchange rates, it’s the exchange kiosks at tourist traps that’ll really rinse you
In my experience it may be better to use the kiosks of your local airport vs the kiosks in your destination country. At the very least, the surcharge is far less than outright using a credit or debit card internationally.
@@romxxii What if I told you that the airport in your destination country is somebody's local airport?
@@shadebug Yeah, my point is, exchange rates for your destination currency seem to be better from your point of departure. It's almost as if they charge you more for currency you'll be using the most where the kiosk is based.
@@romxxii Yeah, I got that, I just thought the mind blowing would be more fun
The exchange rates on my Australian Bank card at acceptable ATMs was actually better than both in Indonesia. Always check up on that, especially if there’s no fees.
I'm just glad the shiny question didnt include Goku and Superman and say something along the lines of "Sent to earth by parents because planet was destroyed"
It may be a rerun, but I still feel the need to point out. Um, actually: Marvel's first company-wide crossover wasn't Secret Wars. It was Contest of Champions.
Thank you.
Um, actually, Secret Wars was not Marvel's first company-wide crossover. 'Contest of Champions' predated it by two years, and featured numerous characters competing against each other, including Captain America, Wolverine, Daredevil, Black Panther, and She-Hulk.
Um, actually, you could argue that Saitama's (kinda basic) workout routine was only indirectly the origin of his power, because the greater story sort of implies that if you somehow break the limits of your body, in Saitama's case his workout, which his body wasn't ready for, you unlock ridiculous power.
I'm actually there's no real greater story
Dream matchup - Brennan for being champion in our hearts, Jared for having won the Tournament of Champions, and Pat to prove once and for all that Trapp either either did or did not kill him.

Such a wholesome episode. Amy was a great addition, nice win!
I don't know how I missed this episode, especially when it has one of my absolute favorite nerds Amy Dallen!
This show was made for Amy Dallen. My God what a nerd. What an awe-inspiring, mind-blowing supernerd. She'd sweep the floor with Brandon whatshisname.
They need to do a battle of the Uber-nerd with Amy, Gutz and Brandon
@@ad_astroturf5037 Winner gets to go 1v1 vs that one fan, who obliterated the competition. (Don't know his name.)
@@CasparSG I forgot about that episode.
Feels good to get the Grogar question right.
That ending was fantastic.
25:55 was a WILD moment as they had NO IDEA just how prescient Amy's comment would become in just a few months after this was filmed (I assume this was originally filmed in 2019?)
Amy really brings a great energy
Love Amy's energy
"Pestilence retired with the invention of penicillin."
Did it? Not so sure.....
Um Actually, the Watchmen comic was *originally* going to feature the Archie Heroes from the Red Circle line. Then, the characters became the Charlton characters. Then, they became their own unique entities.
Such a great episode, all three contestants were so good and fun to watch
Um, actually, besides the 3 Elven Rings of Power, the Dwarven rings were also arguably not corrupted in the way that implies. There are no Dwarven Ringwraiths because Sauron found that he was unable to control the Dwarf-lords through the rings. The wielders did become hyper-focused on acquiring wealth, but it's debatable as to whether that was the corruption of the rings or a byproduct of the rings unnaturally prolonging their lives. By the time of Lord of the Rings all 7 had either been destroyed by Dragons or re-acquired by Sauron because they were effectively useless to him as a means of control.
No ring escaped the corrupting influence.
Yes the Dwarves proved highly resistant, but the bearers did go mad eventually and were lead to ruin.
The Elves had a sort of heads-up to what was happening just before The-One was activated, so they used the loophole where, if the ring isn't being worn and/or used, They remain basically hidden from The-One's and Sauron's influence. The Three only started seeing use again after Sauron lost The-One and was weakened for a literal age.
Dang, I’m so glad you’re such a nerd ❤️
From what I understand, it did make them more greedy and less willing to help others. In a way, corrupted. I also believe the dwarfs were simply too stubborn.
They also missed that sauron was involved in the construction of all rings but the three eleven ones.
Why they were not corrupted. But they still answer to the one
@@Samael1113 I think another part of it is that Sauron and Celebrimbor worked together to create the first 16 rings; then Celebrimbor created the 3 elven rings by himself. They were created in the same method as the first 16, so the 1 still held some power over them, but not to the same extent as the first 16 that Sauron helped created.
@@erikaosborn9679 Exactly, although it's stated that Celebrimbor was helped by the other gwaith I mirdain as well as sauron so only the 3 and the 1 were made by individuals.
Um Actually, you described Saitama's training regime as 100 push ups 100 sit ups and a 10 km run but you failed to mention that he also was not allowed to use air conditioning or heating through the summer and winter. He also goes into some diet stuff but that could be just advice for healthy eating
So so sweet to see Lily help Amy say Um Actually & then later Amy do the same for Lily!! Meanwhile Emma is playing to win at the same time which is just as entertaining
Um Actually The Demon's name in good omens is Crawly, He just goes by Crowley because it doesn't sound as bad
Um Actually he changed his name
Umm actually, in Ender's Game the "world" didn't have a 2 child policy, only the countries controlled by the Hegemony.
I don't think I've seen Amy around since Geek and Sundry Vlogs or Tabletop were still things. Really nice to be reminded of her existence of her again.
I have loved watching alot of things Amy has done and been in. VAST was one of my favorites. She's always a joy to watch perform.
I'm surprised no one argued that Devilman didn't "allow himself to be possessed by a demon" he was fully tricked into it and didn't even know it happened at first
Amy and her shy giggling is too damn cute
There is just no one I love to see more than Lily Du. She's so naturally funny and kind and quick-witted, not to mention wicked beautiful. Can't get enough of her!
23:51 “We let Titus dress himself this morning!” Had me pause the video wheezing 🤣 good job
Haha I got a carvana ad on this video and College Humor's Tao was in it.
No way lol that's lit
Aww, I kinda wish they just gave the point to Lily, she was so close with that last question. I also love their reaction to the twist with that last one, it was like acting out an eye roll with your body. What a fun episode :)
Um actually, Greenland and Iceland were named deceptively on purpose, Iceland to prevent other settlers from coming to the beautiful land and Greenland to lure settlers.
i love this show so much. a new upload is always welcome! love you Trapp. #1 game show host.
Um, Actually, Saitama isn't weak in the beginning as he defeats a lobster man hybrid to save a child
Them falling back in shame after the final question was so great
I have just discovered Um Actually. I recognized Mike Trappe, and the various titles, so I clicked. Now I wish the TH-cam algorithm had introduced me sooner! Subscribed.
Amy has the best smile. Watching her laugh makes me smile
No so much "the characters would be unusable" (though that too), it ws more like "this has got to be way out of official DC Continuity and we just got through _Crisis_ where we combined all the Earths into one." If they were newly-named characters - albeit ones clearly based on existing characters - they could justify doing an out of continuity story.
Um actually, ghouls in Harry Potter are classified as beasts and are seen as a nuisance. It appears a buck-toothed and slimy ogre, is not undead, and is usually used as a talking point or even a pet. In the case of the Weasleys, their ghouls just banged on the pipes in the attic, where it lived, when it got too quiet. In some instances, they are a threat though and can be quite murderous.
Dang, "an above-ground ghoul" is good! 😄
Loved Amy in this one. Also, dead giveaway this is a re-run, since replacing Pestilence with Pollution in the age of Covid would spark far more conversation.
I saw "Good Omens", I clicked 😁
Also, when the yugoslavia question came up, I was shocked because I'm watching this on holiday in Croatia! 😄🇭🇷
Hooray! New Um actually!
People always leave off the most important part of Saitama's work out routine, that being that you're not allowed to use A/C no matter how hot it gets in the summer or how cold it gets in the winter.
Another Friday, another Um, Actually.
It's a great day indeed.
Un Technically Raven is also Possessed by her father Trigon and keeps him at bay with a pure heart. Adam Warlock can also be said to be born to a powerful alien race and groomed to be a villain before deciding to be a hero. Finally, you can also say both Adam Warlock and Rocket were Engineered or Created by scientist on another planet before rebelling against them.
this is the first time ive actually KNOWN a correction completely without like half guessing lol (the good omens one)
Fun group and episode. Amy was rocking the comics, for sure.
“I assume you’re a nicer person”
Pat Cassels: 👁👄👁
amy did amazing, she seems so sweet
06:36 Um actually, the government wasn't hoping for the best traits of Peter and Valentine, they were looking for none of the bad qualities. Both siblings had enough intellect and leadership ability (as demonstrated in the companion Shadow series), but the Valentine was too compassionate and Peter too ambitious.
When the good omens question popped up a started going crazy "PESTILENCE IS RETIRED AHHHH ITS POLLUTION"
Um, actually, Grogar wasn’t a centaur. He’s just a goat with magical charms and items
Yeah, Trapp is probably confusing him with Tirek.
Fellow brony nerd lol
Amy EARNED this win! Great going.
I really hope you bring Amy back for future episodes!
Already an incredible episode and I'm not even done 😂 love getting here early
oh wow, i haven't seen amy in a while. her Future Girl series was awesome! excited for her being on this episode.
Lily is my personal hero.
That last real life skill got everyone and me included! Excellent stuff
I have got to appreciate some love for my boy The Maxx. Well done Amy.
