One of the best parts of remote filming is how much we get to see Saltzman now. All the little visual cut-ins with the head nods in agreement and such adds something for some reason. (Large head nod as I finish that sentence, so I have to assume he agrees.)
It's actually something they integrated into season 6 as well, which is not filmed remotely. Saltzman has a desk and they cut to him occasionally like in this season
Something about the fact checker agreeing with someone's opinions, as though they have just stated an undisputable fact, has a level of subtle comedic value.
26:57 Um Actually, Joan doesn't say the phrase "Um Actually" before her correction about Fry and Yancy, making her point null, meaning that the episode was actually a tie between her and Mike.
I was watching them chat after that for MINUTES being intensely piqued the entire time and no one ever called it out. The game has ONE RULE and they couldn't follow it.
The trivia about Kevin in Cabin in the Woods, who is not based on any existing property, is actually cool as shit. For one, he was one of the ones they almost summoned, being triggered by the film reel, and 2, they were extremely lucky to not pick him, because there was no chance in hell of surviving him, as he has the power to exsanguinate (remove all the blood from someones body) someone almost instantaneously. Or at least, that's his only known power. The quote from the novelization (edited to say not novel, so nobody gets excited for nothing) of the one kill during the purge attributed to him: "untarnished, but Dana had never seen 'anyone more dead.'" Oh, and he's just supposed to look like some guy. You might have passed him in the supermarket the last time you were there.
I recognized the song and thought they made a mistake, because that song plays during a very important moment in Breaking Bad. I had no idea it was the theme for another show.
I picked up on it instantly. I got into the show after Stranger things 2 and was hooked. Recently saw Mad's dad in the new Fantastic Beasts and it made me want to rewatch
Um Actually, in Voyager, Janeway and Paris EVOLVE, not devolve. They end up in the ultimate form of humab evolution, a sizeable salamander like lizard. And they lay eggs together before they are returned to their original form. Paris is a little embarassed about that. But Janeway isn't. She notes that it might have been her idea
@@ThisIsTheTowneyou're overthinking the shit out of this. People are using deevolution in this case as a regression of whatever evolutionary progress a thing has made. Picture those diagrams showing the various species between humans and apes, deevolution is going backwards on that line. Its a sci-fi concept, not a real one.
@@ThisIsTheTowne a lot of star trek science "isn't real," doesn't mean regressing into a former state of evolution according to each alien history can't be aptly named "devolution"
@@ThisIsTheTowne just to point out and clarify your not saying that "devolve" is not a word, when something devolves it degenerates or splits. What you are saying is that devolving is not the opposite of evolving. Is that correct?
5:10 I always assumed Kevin was supposed to be a reference to characters like Jason, where he just has a regular guy name but he's really a supernatural serial killer
Boba was part of Jengo's agreement to be used as a basis for the clone army. Not only was he paid handsomely, but he insisted on a clone that was NOT modified to age quickly and be easily controlled. Boba would grow up like any other child and Jengo would be the one to train him.
@@CyberBlastoise definitely not the rule though. All corrections must be preceded with the phrase "um, actually" not just using the words someplace in the correction. Feels pedantic but what is this show if not pedantic?
@@CyberBlastoise "your corrections must be preceded with [sic] the phrase "um, actually". While both words were present, they were not used together as a phrase, nor did the word "actually" fully precede the correction. Also, while I'm being pedantic, I think that instruction should be "your corrections must be preceded *by* the phrase 'um, actually'."
Agreed but not the English dub because there was no VA direction so it’s not cohesive (Mikel being called MIKE-ull, MICK-ull, and mick-EL in a few minutes. His family members don’t even agree!) The subs are very good, and the French dub is also very good.
The second season went in some questionable directions, and the third season was just awful. First season was top-tier, though, and a lot of the second season was quite good.
Um Actually, in the question regarding clones, the picture used for Solid Snake is not Solid Snake, that is Naked Snake, who is not a clone, he is the one who gets cloned.
Um actually, Swarm isn't just a bee. As the name implies, he's a SWARM of bees! He also, uh... did some work in Germany in the 40s, if you catch my meaning. Yeah. Also, the fact that Spider-Man fights a lot of animal-themed supervillains is no longer just a weird coincidence! It has to do with the fact that he's a "totem hero" that bridges the gap between man and beast... it has to deal with the villain from the original Spider-Verse comic crossover. It's very silly and you can just Google it. Don't sweat it.
Um actually Boba Fett was an unaltered exact clone of Jango. The other clones were enhanced and aged at a quicker speed. I believe Boba was part of Jangos contract terms he was to be given one exact unaltered clone to raise as his son.
Um Actually, you're also wrong. He still has his eye and no eye patch. Meaning Naked Snake hasn't finished Operation Snake Eater and is not yet Big Boss.
Um actually, Joan didn't say "um, actually" for her answer to the Futurama question about the 7 leaf clover episode, and also, there was not enough outrage that Trapp would imply such terrible things about Yancy!! that man was a sweetheart
Um actually, Cabin in the Woods' "Kevin" was their version of Jason Vorhees, being a generic slasher stalker. It's why the name starts with the very next letter from J and is five letters long. ;)
I genuinely don't mind this game show being done remotely. Even through webcams, it loses none of its humor or point-stealing mayhem. If the pandemic taught us anything, it's that we really don't need big offices and fancy studios.
Hearing "Again" from FMAB and no one getting it was painful for me. I don't know a single sentence of Japanese, but I can sing that entire song by heart.
Pretty sure Jango truly cared about Boba. He specified in his agreement with Dooku that he wanted an unaltered clone, he personally looked after him, taught him everything he knew, they seemed to enjoy their time together, and Boba in both AOTC and in The Clone Wars truly seems to mourn and covet his father: in one episode of TCW, he infiltrates the training facility to take out Jedi Master Windu for killing Jango (I think?), and in that one he stops himself from shooting a clone when his helmet comes off and Boba sees his father's face. Later he again refuses to kill a captured clone, presumably because he reminded him too much of his father.
The way I SHOT up from my seat when the Dark theme song played - excellent time travel series that absolutely does not get discussed enough :) (May I recommend the Expanse theme for a future round of Legal Limit?)
I remember playing City of Heroes, when naming your character could take hours as all the good and obvious superhero names were gone by Day 2 of the servers going online.
"They are upsetting to look at" the same could be said of all babies Or... One of Barkley's ancestors, through dedication and shear power of will, figured out how to screw a spider.
Omg! You referenced my favorite episode of TNG and NoBody knew the answer. I am so sad about that. It was so interesting that the One dude who never felt like he fit in turned out to actually be genetically different. I honestly loved his whole storyline throughout his time on the series.
Thank you for bringing up dark!!! You could literally do an entire um actually episode about dark and it would be possible, I've watched that show like 11 times I still don't understand some parts.
23:43 I just watched The Orville S03E02 & a character gets his DNA rewritten & mutates into a spider-like humanoid that looks really similar to this one. Since The Orville is heavily inspired by Star Trek, I bet it's a reference I wouldn't have ever understood without watching this so soon after watching that... Thanks Um, Actually!
18:45 - They definitely have one of those animal wheels where you pull the arm and it plays, "The rooster says: cock-a-doodle-doo". 100% how they did spider-man villains.
I enjoy all episodes of this show but definitely prefer the variety episodes over the themed ones... unless it's a theme I know a lot about, of course!
I like the theme episodes when they have people who know what is up with the theme, like they've been doing recently. I think it's a lot better seeing people able to pick out what's wrong vs stumbling through until they finally get it right haha. But of course they're both great
Um Actually, in the latest version of Deadlands: The Weird West the poker chips are called Bennies not Fate Chips, and the 54-card deck of playing cards isn't used in character creation or for spellcasting (except for Hucksters or Mad Scientists with the Metal Mage Edge) but is used for determining turn order, if random encounters occur when traveling, Chases, and a certain mechanic that involves spoilers.
Best recent show theme I will have to give to A Series of Unfortunate Events. That thing is an amazing ear worm, and it changes slightly every 2 episodes to include relevant information.
Um, actually, Sheng Long was a mistranslation of Ryu’s Dragon Punch special move, but was assumed to be the name of Ryu (and Ken’s) teacher. In actual lore, Ryu’s teacher was eventually revealed to be Gouken, who was thought to be killed by his brother Gouki, known as Akuma in the US. In the storyline of Street Fighter 4, Gouken was revealed to have survived the battle with his evil brother Gouki/Akuma, and is instrumental in helping his student Ryu not succumb to the same evil path followed by Akuma
YAAAAAAAS VINDICTION, The theme song of Dark is by Soap&Skin (together with Apparat) an amazing Austrian musician. I've been a fan of her for quite a long time, so I recognized it immediatly :P And it is INDEED an amazing show that's not talked about enough! Glad you gave it a little spotlight here!
@7:11 - No correction here, just an interesting aside. For flavor, many Marshalls will use a slimmed down Tarot deck, with the Major Arcana included to the side. Depending on what is drawn or rolled, the Major Arcana can be used to grant additional boons or banes.
34:30 Um actually, although he is the antagonist of Alan Moore's "Watchmen," Veidt wasn't necessarily up to no good. He sacrificed a couple million people to save a couple billion. It's firmly in the "Trolley Problem" gray area.
Doesn’t the comic leave it ambiguous if he actually avoided nuclear armageddon since not even dr. Manhattan could know what would have happened if (spoiler ahead) Veidt hadn’t used his monster’s exploding psychic brain to brain dead everyone.
he was definitely up to no good. The comparison the book draws between Veidt and the protagonist of the Black Freighter clearly want you to see Adrian's actions as evil, even though he doesn't see them that way.
@@pedrogarcia8706 I don't think the book has a definitive statement about the morality of anything - not even in the Black Freighter comic you referenced. And I think Alan Moore delights in exactly that ambiguity. Adrian himself acknowledges that he's one of the world's worst mass murderers, but from a trolley problem calculus his actions are indeed moral. Assuming he's right, which Dr. Manhattan points out is not a safe assumption. So, really, all we can say about it is there's a lot to talk about. There is no single clear interpretation. Edit: forgot to clarify the point about the protagonist of the Black Freighter. His actions in fact _were_ justified according to his understanding/assumptions at the time, even if without context they were unambiguously harmful/evil. The twist in the book is that he discovers his assumptions were wrong. But if his assumptions hadn't been wrong, then in a sense what he did was urgent and necessary. So how can "inherent evil" or "inherent good" exist if they can be changed by context? You could say that he went to such extremes that he could only be evil, but then that's arbitrary, and it leaves unanswered what we should think about the rest of the characters of Watchmen, *all* of whom do unambiguous harm to all sorts of people in the name of good. So then what are we supposed to conclude about any of this?
Nah, choosing to murder millions of innocent people isn't morally right, any way you slice it. The answer to the trolley problem, especially when super heroes are involved, is you pick up the trolley and set it back down where there's no people, or you send the trolley down one track, and go free the person on that track, because you have fuckin' super powers. The problem is one guy thinking he has the answer to all the problems when he actually doesn't. The plan is flawed, because if the plan gets out, everything goes back to the way it was, which is what's doomed to happen thanks to Rorschach's journal. If that gets out, all those people died for nothing, and they didn't even get a choice in the matter.
Um Actually, the picture used for Solid Snake is actually Naked Snake/Big Boss. Although Solid Snake does use camouflage (especially in MGS 4) he never wears that uniform.
I had Street Fighter II Turbo. I can confirm, among the 4 new characters, Akuma was not one. I first encountered him in Street Fighter III or Street Fighter IV in an arcade. That game shocked me mainly because they made so many versions of Street Fighter II I didn't know they ever moved on to another number.
Um, actually, he was a new character in Street Fighter II Turbo, just not a playable one. He was a secret boss that you could fight instead of M. Bison (or Balrog) if you met certain requirements
@@GustavoSouza-zj2do Um actually, I also wanna say that they didn't give him a name either just his shadow portrait. He wasn't named until later on in the series.
Um Actually, the Sheng Long rumor started as an april fools joke in the EGM magazine if i am not mistaken, and then akuma sort of tangentially originated from that as stated, but the rumors were that sheng long was ryu and ken's master, and in Street Fighter 4 they brought a character named Gouken, which was ryu and ken's master and has the spitting image of the april fools sheng long image from IGM. you can actually lookup in google and see how gouken and sheng long are basically the same character which was originated by a prank. and Street Fighter 2: Turbo if i am not mistaken was actually called Street Fighter 2: Hyper Fighting (but had the "turbo" elements such as faster movements)
Dark needs more attention, it's the smartest time travel series in maybe forever. Also, that FMA:B opening is a banger and it's shameful no one got that.
Um, actually, Kevin is named after the titular character from "We Need to Talk About Kevin" and in general is based off of the trope of the quiet polite man who is secretly a ruthless serial killer. His weapon of choice is esanguination, and he can drain somebody of all their blood in less than a second.
when you played the original Battlestar Galactica theme, I was literally jumping in my bed! I couldn't believe that no one got it. it's so iconic ❤️ love that you included it! yes I'm that nerdy 🤓 also had to listen to the 90's boy band FIVE now for their Battlestar song.
It even gets a brief play in the new series (I think it's in the Pilot when they show a classic "Clanker" cylon in the museum, before everything goes to shit).
Um Actually, as much as I adore her, Joan never said "Um Actually" for the futurama question. Therefore, instead of winning there should have been a two way tie. Sorry Joan!!
Thank god, Trapp, for the Dark shoutout. My wife and I found it by ourselves and were gobsmacked by how good it is. I felt the exact same as you, "why did nobody tell me to watch this".
I love everyone making jokes about having the songs as their ringtones but the song that stumped them was actually my ringtone for a year in highschool
There’s Corridor Crew that edited scenes from Home Alone to be more violent/realistic. And then there’s also another TH-cam channel that edits trailers to be in different genres.
Um actually, he gets it out of the breakfast club soundtrack record sleeve from Fry's ronco record vault while looking for music for his wedding. He says it should clear out the room after the reception, then the clover falls out.
To Trapp's point at 14:25. Some streaming services actually default to skipping the intro and I absolutely hate that. I feel like listening to the intro is integral to the experience. Granted if you're binging the show then maybe you don't need to watch the intro 10+ times. But you have to get it in there at least a few times.
yeah I like the button being there but never automatic. and some shows the very thought of skipping the intro is so offensive to me I would prefer I can remove it entirely :)
25:07 Um, Actually, the character shown in the picture here is Naked Snake (Later referred to as Big Boss), and not Solid Snake, who is not a clone, but rather the person that Solid and Liquid Snake were cloned from.
Um Actually, Joan has not perceived her answer for the Futurama Question about Philip Fry with "Um actually", thus not winning the point and is tied with Mike for a shared win :)
@24:56 Um, Actually the image used for Solid Snake is actually of Naked Snake (Camouflage pattern and radio ear piece instead of Codec) not Solid Snake. Naked Snake's real name is John and goes on to become Big Boss, while Solid Snake's name is David who goes on to grow an 80's moustache and get wicked old. ... David is a clone of John
One of the best parts of remote filming is how much we get to see Saltzman now. All the little visual cut-ins with the head nods in agreement and such adds something for some reason. (Large head nod as I finish that sentence, so I have to assume he agrees.)

18:45 - They definitely have one of those animal wheels where you pull the arm and it plays, "The rooster says: cock-a-doodle-doo". 100% how they did spider-man villains.
This episode was worth it; just for making me aware that ‘Better Watch Out’ exists lmao
I enjoy all episodes of this show but definitely prefer the variety episodes over the themed ones... unless it's a theme I know a lot about, of course!
I like the theme episodes when they have people who know what is up with the theme, like they've been doing recently.
I think it's a lot better seeing people able to pick out what's wrong vs stumbling through until they finally get it right haha.
But of course they're both great
A universal feeling lol
@@razarios_life yup, hate when they are just swing and talking jebrish
Same
Horror themed episodes are great
I would love to see us get a Hannah Barbera cartoon episode. Those are the cartoons I grew up watching.
Maybe the Saturday Morning Cartoons episode? I haven't watched it, but that sounds like it would cover at least Scooby-Doo haha
Um Actually, in the latest version of Deadlands: The Weird West the poker chips are called Bennies not Fate Chips, and the 54-card deck of playing cards isn't used in character creation or for spellcasting (except for Hucksters or Mad Scientists with the Metal Mage Edge) but is used for determining turn order, if random encounters occur when traveling, Chases, and a certain mechanic that involves spoilers.
Dark is, indeed, phenomenal.
Best recent show theme I will have to give to A Series of Unfortunate Events. That thing is an amazing ear worm, and it changes slightly every 2 episodes to include relevant information.
Look away, look away...
I went absolutely feral hearing Again by Yui and it stomped everyone. It is one of my favorite opening songs ever!
Bro, it killed me
An absolute crime and I went to watch the opening immediately as it came on lol
Um, actually, Sheng Long was a mistranslation of Ryu’s Dragon Punch special move, but was assumed to be the name of Ryu (and Ken’s) teacher. In actual lore, Ryu’s teacher was eventually revealed to be Gouken, who was thought to be killed by his brother Gouki, known as Akuma in the US. In the storyline of Street Fighter 4, Gouken was revealed to have survived the battle with his evil brother Gouki/Akuma, and is instrumental in helping his student Ryu not succumb to the same evil path followed by Akuma
YAAAAAAAS VINDICTION, The theme song of Dark is by Soap&Skin (together with Apparat) an amazing Austrian musician. I've been a fan of her for quite a long time, so I recognized it immediatly :P
And it is INDEED an amazing show that's not talked about enough! Glad you gave it a little spotlight here!
I think there is also an episode of song exploder which retells how the track was made
The memory slivers this kind of content pulls is an awesome thing to have available. Thanks for these kinds of occasions.
@7:11 - No correction here, just an interesting aside. For flavor, many Marshalls will use a slimmed down Tarot deck, with the Major Arcana included to the side. Depending on what is drawn or rolled, the Major Arcana can be used to grant additional boons or banes.
Imagine mot recognizing the FMA brotherhood intro. Also yes Dark is very good.
34:30 Um actually, although he is the antagonist of Alan Moore's "Watchmen," Veidt wasn't necessarily up to no good. He sacrificed a couple million people to save a couple billion. It's firmly in the "Trolley Problem" gray area.
Doesn’t the comic leave it ambiguous if he actually avoided nuclear armageddon since not even dr. Manhattan could know what would have happened if (spoiler ahead) Veidt hadn’t used his monster’s exploding psychic brain to brain dead everyone.
he was definitely up to no good. The comparison the book draws between Veidt and the protagonist of the Black Freighter clearly want you to see Adrian's actions as evil, even though he doesn't see them that way.
@@pedrogarcia8706 I don't think the book has a definitive statement about the morality of anything - not even in the Black Freighter comic you referenced. And I think Alan Moore delights in exactly that ambiguity.
Adrian himself acknowledges that he's one of the world's worst mass murderers, but from a trolley problem calculus his actions are indeed moral. Assuming he's right, which Dr. Manhattan points out is not a safe assumption.
So, really, all we can say about it is there's a lot to talk about. There is no single clear interpretation.
Edit: forgot to clarify the point about the protagonist of the Black Freighter. His actions in fact _were_ justified according to his understanding/assumptions at the time, even if without context they were unambiguously harmful/evil. The twist in the book is that he discovers his assumptions were wrong. But if his assumptions hadn't been wrong, then in a sense what he did was urgent and necessary. So how can "inherent evil" or "inherent good" exist if they can be changed by context? You could say that he went to such extremes that he could only be evil, but then that's arbitrary, and it leaves unanswered what we should think about the rest of the characters of Watchmen, *all* of whom do unambiguous harm to all sorts of people in the name of good. So then what are we supposed to conclude about any of this?
counterpoint, corporations are ALL inherently up to no good
Nah, choosing to murder millions of innocent people isn't morally right, any way you slice it. The answer to the trolley problem, especially when super heroes are involved, is you pick up the trolley and set it back down where there's no people, or you send the trolley down one track, and go free the person on that track, because you have fuckin' super powers.
The problem is one guy thinking he has the answer to all the problems when he actually doesn't. The plan is flawed, because if the plan gets out, everything goes back to the way it was, which is what's doomed to happen thanks to Rorschach's journal. If that gets out, all those people died for nothing, and they didn't even get a choice in the matter.
Um Actually, the picture used for Solid Snake is actually Naked Snake/Big Boss. Although Solid Snake does use camouflage (especially in MGS 4) he never wears that uniform.
I had Street Fighter II Turbo. I can confirm, among the 4 new characters, Akuma was not one. I first encountered him in Street Fighter III or Street Fighter IV in an arcade. That game shocked me mainly because they made so many versions of Street Fighter II I didn't know they ever moved on to another number.
Um, actually, he was a new character in Street Fighter II Turbo, just not a playable one. He was a secret boss that you could fight instead of M. Bison (or Balrog) if you met certain requirements
@@GustavoSouza-zj2do Um actually, I also wanna say that they didn't give him a name either just his shadow portrait. He wasn't named until later on in the series.
I started watching DARK the other day on Trapp's recommendation, and it's incredible. Thanks for that!
I love when something like Abe's exodus comes up and the show becomes gibberish for 2 minutes that I'm 90% sure you're making up
Um Actually, the Sheng Long rumor started as an april fools joke in the EGM magazine if i am not mistaken, and then akuma sort of tangentially originated from that as stated, but the rumors were that sheng long was ryu and ken's master, and in Street Fighter 4 they brought a character named Gouken, which was ryu and ken's master and has the spitting image of the april fools sheng long image from IGM. you can actually lookup in google and see how gouken and sheng long are basically the same character which was originated by a prank. and Street Fighter 2: Turbo if i am not mistaken was actually called Street Fighter 2: Hyper Fighting (but had the "turbo" elements such as faster movements)
22:00 um, actually. Janeway and Paris don't Devolve into amphibians they Evolve.
Um, actually so glad to hear more love for Dark. Great show.
Um, actually, the deck in Deadlands was also used to create gadgets for "Mad Scientists", and for initiative in combat.
Dark is fucking fantastic and I'm so happy that trapp brought it up but I am disappointed in myself for not recognizing the theme song.
Dark needs more attention, it's the smartest time travel series in maybe forever.
Also, that FMA:B opening is a banger and it's shameful no one got that.
When full metal alchemist brotherhood opening 1 started to play I was so excited
Um, actually, Kevin is named after the titular character from "We Need to Talk About Kevin" and in general is based off of the trope of the quiet polite man who is secretly a ruthless serial killer. His weapon of choice is esanguination, and he can drain somebody of all their blood in less than a second.
nah dog, Kevin is the Kevin from Sin City played by our favorite hobbit
Kevin is actually Kevin Theis.
Anybody who knows Kevin will understand...
"Named for his uncle to carry on his spirit". I cried. So. Hard.
when you played the original Battlestar Galactica theme, I was literally jumping in my bed! I couldn't believe that no one got it. it's so iconic ❤️ love that you included it! yes I'm that nerdy 🤓 also had to listen to the 90's boy band FIVE now for their Battlestar song.
It even gets a brief play in the new series (I think it's in the Pilot when they show a classic "Clanker" cylon in the museum, before everything goes to shit).
Um Actually, as much as I adore her, Joan never said "Um Actually" for the futurama question. Therefore, instead of winning there should have been a two way tie. Sorry Joan!!
25:15 Um actually, that isn't Solid Snake, that's Naked Snake, the template on which Solid, Liquid and Solidus were based.
Man, now I think I need to look into East of West. That sounds like it checks so many boxes for me.
The Futurama episode you talked about is the inspiration for one of my future tattoos as it’s from my favourite episode.
Thank god, Trapp, for the Dark shoutout. My wife and I found it by ourselves and were gobsmacked by how good it is. I felt the exact same as you, "why did nobody tell me to watch this".
I cried a little inside when no one got the FMA: Brotherhood question. Such a good show!!
Maybe they just skip the intro, I've watched it but I didn't remember it either :/
@@orangeants Skipping that intro?! Impossible
@@clartblart3266 I binged watched the episodes, and my short attention span can only take so much 🤷🏾♀️
@@orangeants Okay, fair, but tell me you heard it at least once...please?
@@clartblart3266 once for everyday I spent watching it
I love everyone making jokes about having the songs as their ringtones but the song that stumped them was actually my ringtone for a year in highschool
17:49 "Some days you just can't get rid of a gorilla!"
Um, actually, I'm pretty sure Deadlands does not use playing cards for character creation. Unless I have been playing it wrong all these years.
Deadlands, the original, certainly uses playing cards for character creation. Deadlands: Reloaded, it's Savage Worlds rebrand, does not.
@@chesthoIe Ahh, I've only play Reloaded. Thank you.
Oh God bless you Trap. That Dark shoutout man. So good
5:40 Uhm actually, Kevin is specifically meant as a reference to Elijah Wood's character in Sin City.
The snake pictured was Naked Snake who was not a clone, he was the og.
Dark is incredibly overlooked. It's so good! I was thrilled to see it get some love.
Truly never thought of the Rugrats as being an 'upsetting to look at' 90s cartoon until now 😂
Dark is such a good show! It actually makes me really happy that you mentioned it here
Kevin from The Office shows up and pours molten chili on you.
Um Actually, Panda-Mania is awesome. Her costume is a hooded panda onesie.
Huge thumbs up for the "Dark".. insanely good!!!
Absolutely here for the Dark praise. Watch it. So good.
Thank you for giving Dark the appreciation it deserves. I wish I could convince more people to watch that series.
There’s Corridor Crew that edited scenes from Home Alone to be more violent/realistic. And then there’s also another TH-cam channel that edits trailers to be in different genres.
9:57, that is a damn near spot on impression of Bill Clinton! Like, spooky accurate!
The way Trapp pronounces Venomoth is a war crime. And doing it just so more people will comment is not a forgivable excuse.
the only thing my ears caught as I wasn't paying full attention to the Intro but no way I could miss hearing that travesty
Pretty sure he was trying to rhyme, but it's a horrible stretch even then
I haven't even watched the episode yet but this comment makes me think he said Ve-nah-moth like venusaur
@@Rognik wait, don't they both sound like "moth" already?
I definitely did not recognize he was saying that Pokémon name haha
Um actually, time zones are not to blame for it being different light levels across the world. It's due to the world spinning, and being a sphere.
Um Actually Phillip's Older Brother takes the seven leaf clover from Phillip well before he was frozen not after.
Um actually, he gets it out of the breakfast club soundtrack record sleeve from Fry's ronco record vault while looking for music for his wedding. He says it should clear out the room after the reception, then the clover falls out.
Heyyyy! They talked about gaming translation! Good to see a question talking about it!
To Trapp's point at 14:25. Some streaming services actually default to skipping the intro and I absolutely hate that. I feel like listening to the intro is integral to the experience. Granted if you're binging the show then maybe you don't need to watch the intro 10+ times. But you have to get it in there at least a few times.
yeah I like the button being there but never automatic. and some shows the very thought of skipping the intro is so offensive to me I would prefer I can remove it entirely :)
I've heard "Kevin" is the kid from Home Alone, but also that it could be the "Kevin" from We Need to Talk About Kevin (a criminally underrated film)
25:07 Um, Actually, the character shown in the picture here is Naked Snake (Later referred to as Big Boss), and not Solid Snake, who is not a clone, but rather the person that Solid and Liquid Snake were cloned from.
Um Actually, Joan has not perceived her answer for the Futurama Question about Philip Fry with "Um actually", thus not winning the point and is tied with Mike for a shared win :)
Love the beginning of this episode. All hail Yawgmoth!
I run a krrik commander deck, but yes. All hail Yawgmoth
@24:56 Um, Actually the image used for Solid Snake is actually of Naked Snake (Camouflage pattern and radio ear piece instead of Codec) not Solid Snake. Naked Snake's real name is John and goes on to become Big Boss, while Solid Snake's name is David who goes on to grow an 80's moustache and get wicked old.
... David is a clone of John
