We loved inviting Karl to come and join us on the show. He is a top chap and we all at Barshens hope that he is not scarred for being in a video with us! Karl was robbed (of any chance of winning!) but we think he loved his day with us & it was the least we could do. Keep fighting pal.
"I want to put a message out to my favourite youtube creators I was diagnosed with cancer 2 years and 3 months ago shamefully this week I was told treatment is not a viable option anymore and I only have a few months left. I just want to say thank you for making me laugh in" - From Karl's twitter, for the people asking about him. :(
Barry should have fought back with cooking terms, like "xanthan" or "blanching" or "if you don't stop with the psych terms I'll boil you and feed you to my pugs"
Hello i just want to say I'm Karl Jackson (or as some of you are saying draco malfoy ahaha) thank you for all your kind messages honestly it means a lot barshens was so much fun I'm so happy they invited me down. (I don't know if I'm aloud to say this bitcthey said I could go again I might have to take them up on it)
You were always a very enjoyable addition to the videos and genuinely inspiring to see your wealth of personality in spite of your illness. You're gone too soon but very fondly rememberedby myself and I'm sure many others. Rest in peace Karl.
Was there a "Lord of the Rings" perspective trick going on or has Eli legitimately gotten smaller? Christ the budget must be tight if they've had to start selling of bits of Eli.
I JUST listened to that episode the other day (but now I can't remember which one it is), so I'm not certain, but pretty sure that he thought he was 5'5'' but was actually 5'3''.
Feeling pretty crappy so I've been binge rewatching Barshens-I love these guys so much...it does make me sad to see Karl-what a precious, adorable man he was.
#BarryRobbedHimself. Poor Barry, even with help and the power of the internets he lost. Stuart's Edit U Ho message to Linton almost made me spit a mouthful of tea across my keyboard :-)
@@jowilltellthetruth5525 Yes, I am aware. I followed Barshens all the way until the end and I'm still subbed. I appreciate you wanting to tell me though. ♥
What I'd love at some point (maybe as an "if our patreon makes this much £ we'll do it"), is a "Barshens Origins" video where everyone explains how they first met and got to working together. Like what first brought Barry & Stuart together, and Eli & Paul. Or if someone was hired in (like maybe Izzy?), how the interview was, and how they heard about the position, and stuff.
Stuart and Barry met at a comedy charity event, Eli and Paul met doing stand up. Paul and Stuart met at a comedy event that Paul's forgotten. Stuart asked Paul to produce Barshens 'cause they got along well. (I think Stuart hates Paul now), and Paul brought Eli in to act in some early skits. They've explained this various formats, I suggest listening to Elis and Paul's podcast, Cheapshow. And I think hey brought this up on the now dead Barshens podcast.
Random hit of nostalgia - I got this from a charity shop maybe 15 or 20 years ago. But the turntable never worked properly. For whatever reason, I still have the racks of letters, but not the rest of it any more haha.
Leo Now let's be fair. Barry's brain is fully functional. Just those functions aren't that impressive in competition. He's amazing at making gigantic versions of forgettable snacks.
Man I wish I was a rich bastard, Id give you guys about 4M (US) this is the greatest channel ever, please never stop guys you keep me going through the week!
I absolutely love your guy's videos, they always make me laugh everyone on set is genuinely funny. I would hate to see your show go away, keep the great videos coming. 👍☺
Honestly I think the reason the grapefruit one was so hard to get was because Stewart made the anagram into something that sounded like a word and half was a word
Someone needs to give Linton a hug. I volunteer. Also, despite the fact that I will now be finding ways to include "parapraxis" in my daily conversations, I still think that was a shameless piece of cheating on Dr. Ashen's part.
Actually got parapraxis - but was boggled that it’s ten letters. As a former tournament Scrabble player I’m ashamed I didn’t get grapefruit... words over eight letters are rare in Scrabble but I should know how to anagram.
"Games Master" lol When I was younger, I came across a similar bit of word play when I questioned why the popular Nintendo handheld was called the "Game Boy". We had the WalkMan and the DiscMan. Why not the Game Ma . . . oh. Now I understand.

Does Karl have a bioshock chain tattoo on his wrist or am I just loosing it?
Keep fighting? Is he sick?

tavshedfjols yeah he does have one I've wanted that one. A man chooses a slave obeys.
That's such an awful thing. Wishing him every bit of luck he can get.
Ashens uses technical psychology term - Barry misspells 'Rhubarb'.
Not really a fair fight
This is a perfect description of both of them as beings.
Barry should have fought back with cooking terms, like "xanthan" or "blanching" or "if you don't stop with the psych terms I'll boil you and feed you to my pugs"
Stuart also miscounted his first word, which had 10 letters and not 9.
My two brain states in exam season
Made me laugh though because my thought was "rhubarb? No it can't be"
Stu putting his PhD to good use...
I never thought I'd see Ron Jeremy, Simon Pegg and Draco Malfoy rob a man together.
This was too funny
Shall we add a mini-Hagrid in there?
I thought voldemort at first
You win the Internet today for me with that comment. Amazing.
You forgot that the man they robbed is Jamie Oliver's loveable but extremely naive little brother.

Hey man, keep your head up.
Yes, please do it! We'd love to see you on again.
Best wishes to you.
You make a brilliant member of the gang
You were always a very enjoyable addition to the videos and genuinely inspiring to see your wealth of personality in spite of your illness. You're gone too soon but very fondly rememberedby myself and I'm sure many others. Rest in peace Karl.
rest in peace, Karl
Barshens is so under-viewed it's sad. Legends.
I volunteer as Gaymaster.
It's going to be a competition then.
It's a bummer of a job.
Poor Karl. With his words "Well that was fun .."
Probably the perfect epitaph for his all too brief tenure on the show.
"tide uh o!"
barry's unintentional commentary on the whole tide pod challenge
Loved Karl. What an excellent guy. RIP.
😢
Having Karl on was amazing. It was great to have help for Barry
Well that's lame. The outreach program is really working.
Was there a "Lord of the Rings" perspective trick going on or has Eli legitimately gotten smaller?
Christ the budget must be tight if they've had to start selling of bits of Eli.
He has said on Cheapshow that he's only 5'3''.
Did he not get measured recently and said he was 5 flat? And that he had always assumed he was 5 ft 3?
I JUST listened to that episode the other day (but now I can't remember which one it is), so I'm not certain, but pretty sure that he thought he was 5'5'' but was actually 5'3''.
Nowt wrong with being a hobbit, well apart from getting wide fitting shoes in small sizes # 5'1 and shrinking
His legs are modular.
Oh dear, it's happened. Eli went full Ron Jeremy on us.
not the first time..
OMG!! THAT is who he looks like! XD
Rest in peace, Karl.
Alas, poor Karl. This is your Barshens legacy.
Feeling pretty crappy so I've been binge rewatching Barshens-I love these guys so much...it does make me sad to see Karl-what a precious, adorable man he was.

Mark Caswell The Linton bit made me spit my drink out as well. Nice profile picture by the way... 😜
Eli is the man of a thousand looks. *All handsome* .
Great of you guys to invite Ron Jeremy on to your show
Rocking the ‘fro, Eli.
No clue who Karl is but I want 7 of him
RIP Karl
Gone too soon.
What??
@@Deadmentellnotales-vf3gg he sadly passed away
Sucks that karl isn't around to be on future episodes RIP karl.
hello Ron Jeremy!
I'm amazed they could afford him for this show.
He's cheaper with his pants on.
"We've lost it doesn't matter"
Me walking into the room to write my finals
I only guessed Parapraxis because I have lost count of how many times I've watched the Ashens video where Stuart goes "Can you say 'Parapraxis'?"
I could guess it because he uses that word so often in his videos
SIPARPARAX - The chant when worshipping Slepp the Idol.
At this point Stuart would beat Barry at a cooking challenge
weepidge 49 That should be the next video... A Bars Vs Hens Cook-Off!
Karl is adorable. Like a deer in the the headlights. Bring him in more often. LET THE BARSHENS FAMILY GROW.
Sadly Karl has passed away. 😥
@@jowilltellthetruth5525 Yes, I am aware. I followed Barshens all the way until the end and I'm still subbed. I appreciate you wanting to tell me though. ♥
@@Dizbulance No problem, I'm relatively new to the crew. Thanks for your courteous reply x
Karl is adorable, just sayin'.
yes
Rest easy Karl :(
immediately hopped on amazon when I saw the nifty rotating action. Couldn't find it, to my eternal dismay
That's the folly of Milton-Bradly, great, interesting games that are out of production.

Well that was fun.
“The power coursing through my veins”… What I say during every one of my chemo infusions.
I wanna hug Karl so much
read up and maybe say something less dumb
In a reply to Barshens' pinned comment someone says that he has terminal cancer :(
SMIFFY not cool. You ever think why he is like that. Use ur brain.
Only the good die young. May he rest in peace. All of us, as fans and part of the Barshens family, will always remember him.
Yes! New Barshens!
Eli I love you and it’s nice to see your moonlighting as super Mario from the animated show in the 80s :0)
Rest easy Karl
That was the most British appeal for Patrions in the history of embarrassingly humble & apologetic requests! XD
SO glad patreon is a thing, I don't think I could go on without Barshens. Also, "well that was fun." is perfect
This makes me wanna see Ashens & Barry become Contenstants on 'Pointless'. They got Anagram questions like this.
Eli has the power 'cursing' through his veins?
Yep, that seems about right. Lol
It should have been "amplitude" instead of power.
If you've ever heard him go ballistic on Cheapshow, you'll know
DiggingForFacts That seems to be just about every episode.
Random hit of nostalgia - I got this from a charity shop maybe 15 or 20 years ago. But the turntable never worked properly. For whatever reason, I still have the racks of letters, but not the rest of it any more haha.
Ooh, I saw Karl in Tomska's Last Week. Looking forward to that episode of Barshens
its probably a few weeks off yet, but its another fun one!
I think as an audience it helps that Stuart occasionally uses Parapraxis as a catchphrase for solving that.
I'm surprised that none of you folks tried Tnetnnba
Michael Taylor good morning. That’s a nice tnetennba.
Oh, that would have been beautiful.
I've just now realized who Barry reminds me of... the character Roger Healey on "I Dream of Jeannie." Yeah, I'm that old.
Pitting a man with a PhD against a man with a semi-functional brain has never seemed all that fair to me.
Leo Now let's be fair. Barry's brain is fully functional. Just those functions aren't that impressive in competition. He's amazing at making gigantic versions of forgettable snacks.
Barry is both quick witted and dim witted
Don't stop Barshens! You guys are fantastic!
Man I wish I was a rich bastard, Id give you guys about 4M (US) this is the greatest channel ever, please never stop guys you keep me going through the week!
If you've since become a rich bastard, now would be an awfully good time.
Rest in peace Karl
What a great start to the weekend, friday evening Barshens. I feel blessed.
That was the most British way of asking for money, ever.
I have watched so much ashens I instantly knew what his word was when I saw the scramble... I don't think I should be proud of that, but here we are
R.I.P. Karl.
Dude Karl, love the Bioshock tattoos
Stuarts watery ass smile in the intro always gets me I can’t
well now I'm sad for watching this knowing that Karl is in it. RIP Karl :'(
Crow the mad Please don't be sad .just know that Karl enjoyed his remaining time he had by being with the gang on Barshens.
Yeah, that's nice at least that he got to spend one of his final days with some of his favorite lads.
Several of his final days, in fact! They got him in on multiple videos. :)
So WTF is wrong with TH-cam, demonetizing a video shot in their own studios?
Rest In Peace Karl
I'm thrilled that you got Gallagher to host the show!
So happy to see my name in the.credits also sorry Karl about being Barry's team love ya man
I absolutely love your guy's videos, they always make me laugh everyone on set is genuinely funny. I would hate to see your show go away, keep the great videos coming. 👍☺
Stayed right to the end literally just to see if you used the "well that was fun" soundbite.
Spoilers: I wasn't disappointed.
Honestly I think the reason the grapefruit one was so hard to get was because Stewart made the anagram into something that sounded like a word and half was a word
Siparparax sounds like a dragon's name
It hasn't even started, but Eli's intro was of such high quality, I had to mention it. Cheers.
Well that was fun!
Rest in peace Karl!
Im sorry Eli but oh my christ you look like Ron Jeremy
I don't think that requires a 'sorry'.... I think that's what he is going for.
It would have been fun to see a longer version of this one.
Siparparax sounds like the final boss in a sort of bland D&D campaign.
*RIP Karl.*
All the best to you Karl, you little love! ♥️
"LET'S DO LETTER GAME THING." -Eli Silverman, 2018
>maximum 9 slots
>"grapefruit" has 10 letters in it
legit
So does parapraxis.
You guys are very entertaining and I hope you can keep finding the motivation to do this in the future :)
Eli has apparently progressed a little further on his quest to physically transform into Ron Jeremy.
FARTPIGURE is already a good word, i don't care what the anagram is.
FARTPIGURE FTW.
"I'm afraid I've gone for 9, Barry" - no you haven't. I'm afraid that's 10...
Now I really want a Barshens Does Countdown. Also a better stylist for Eli.
In the name of the credits, the shart and the unholy Slepp, Barshens
Bars VS Hens cook off!!!! Bars needs a W!!
That would only put them on even footing
Thank you Ryan for also guessing Brahub on a misspelled word.
THIS. This is what I have been waiting for! xxx
It wasn't even past the 2 minute mark and Ely has already been self-defeated, I love this show
"Well... that was fun" LOL
Someone needs to give Linton a hug. I volunteer.
Also, despite the fact that I will now be finding ways to include "parapraxis" in my daily conversations, I still think that was a shameless piece of cheating on Dr. Ashen's part.
valkyrie1845 Dr. Ashens played fair.
Ten letters! The maximum was nine!
We need more karl and keep fighting mate
What happened to eli's hair ????
if i needed one video to prove stuart's the brains and barry's the brawns, this'd be it
Luca Chancellor I think most videos prove that, and Barry has many videos on his channel that also support this.
Love the videos! Keep going
Found the name of the game! Thank you BoardGameGeek It's Wizzword! boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/22840/wizzword
Karl! 😢💔
An excellent word game.
We need Eli's Mixed Up Noodle Combination Taste Test, so Barry can verse Stu in his home ground of food.
