This is genuinely impressive. You can tell that she's listening and processing, just not allowing it to show on her face apart from a few small cracks here and there.
In the Survivor episode, Lou Wilson’s “Please let me win” may have been enough to crack Brennan, but here Raph’s “I would really like the $100” did absolutely Nothing to Katie. Frankly, the other contestants are Lucky Lou voted her out of that game.
this is the first time i've ever heard somebody call katie "katherine" i think and it would've been really powerful if raph hadn't sounded so utterly defeated already
I'm glad Grant is self aware enough to acknowledge how much he crutches on that improv thing. This episode also continues my favorite theme "brief glimpses into the dire financial straits of previous employees of College Humor".
I still get chills from Ally talking about their credit card debt on Dirty Laundry. And it hurts even more considering that show is after Total Forgiveness.
The thing that gets me about Katie is that she manages to be completely stone faced while also often being the funniest person in the room. It's one thing to just be humorless, but Katie is on another level of comedy mastery.
Everyone deserves someone like Katie in their life. Someone who stares you dead in the face when you make a dumb joke, lets things stay awkwardly quiet, then make an even dumber joke without cracking a smile.
Ok but now do the same challenge but with Amy. The person who makes her hit 100 laughs gets 1000 dollars. If she doesn’t hit 100 laughs, she keeps the money.
Big fan of Grant thinking Katie would sabotage herself with a funny punchline only for her to turn around and say "That they don't have to be alive anymore..."
So I went through every episode of Breaking News and recorded all the players and scores and details into a big spreadsheet, like a healthy person does, and have some quick Katie Marovitch facts for you! Katie's made 24 appearances on Breaking News, which makes her the third most common...contestant? Player? Victim? Let's go with performer. 17 of those appearances were zero-score. Only seven people have had even one zero-break appearance. Lily Du and Christine Medrano are tied for second place with two each. So Katie's had twice as many zero-score appearances as everyone else combined. She has broken eleven times in the entire history of the show (unless the lost episodes exist and she broke in one of them), has an overall average score of -0.458 per appearance, and is the undisputed highest scorer out of anyone with multiple appearances. (Brian Huskey made one appearance and scored a zero in it, so he kinda breaks the average. But he's guaranteed to stay in the #1 spot as long as he doesn't come back on, so that's nice for him!)
@@iPancake3 Apparently my comment failed somehow, sorry about that. I didn't make it quite that detailed, but episodes 507 and 512 are the only ones where she breaks three times (each), so they're worth revisiting if you're looking for ways to break Katie! Although if you're actually Grant researching the sequel, you have to put my name in the credits now.
They really need to do an episode where all the highest-scoring people in the history of the show are pitted against each other. First one to break instantly loses 100 points.
I know everyone's been wanting this episode, but I personally think that if you dedicate an entire episode to making someone break, that it's going to backfire. She can handle the pressure. You have to catch her by surprise.
I love Katie so much, she's such a highlight of everything she's in. Loved her as the weasel on d20 - as a Brit her English accent was terrible but in a funny way, not in a cringe way like some people do. I just really like her and respect her comedy a lot, she's great. More Katie! ❤
It's completely on brand for them to hijack and episode by him and turn it on him. Buddy got flammed so hard on one that he walked in front of the camera to defend himself.
@@notsoinsaneguy I think the deal is that all WAG and SAG members stop working on anything until a project gets permission from their union to continue. That could mean that some projects get started again long before the strike ends, but I don't know if that is more or less likely with this project.
I mean the real answer is TECHNICALLY yes. More surface area = more water displaced. It's the reason we prune in water, it's an evolutionary adaptation to being wet to swim better because it increases the surface area of our skin.
Going out of your way to try and break Katie seems like the perfect way to ensure she never breaks.
I feel like that's definitely true lol
plus the $1000 she was promised.
I think incentivizing it so heavily with 1000 dollars puts a lot of pressure on her
No, offering her a thousand dollars when she really needed money was the surest way to ensure she doesn’t break.
I love that “Katherine, I would really like a hundred dollars” is the thing that almost got her
"I'd really like a hundred dollars" has similar energy to Lou's "please let me win", except, like, ten times more pathetic (affectionate).
I feel like that might have been the closest anyone got - or maybe I'm reading into it
Trying to make Katie laugh is like trying to drown a fish.
There's a reason Lou voted her out first on the first Survivor episode of Game Changer. lol
you can actually do this if there’s not enough oxygen in the water, or if you mention kids in cages
😂😂😂
This is genuinely impressive. You can tell that she's listening and processing, just not allowing it to show on her face apart from a few small cracks here and there.
You can see her tensing her jaw a couple times to keep herself from breaking! She’s a talented actor, total control of face.
The one time ive seen her laugh was when mentioning kids in cages. This woman is something else
That and "we've met before" I think she broke a little
i think her dad might need to see a quack doctor
In the Survivor episode, Lou Wilson’s “Please let me win” may have been enough to crack Brennan, but here Raph’s “I would really like the $100” did absolutely Nothing to Katie. Frankly, the other contestants are Lucky Lou voted her out of that game.
you can see it gets her the closest to laughing, but man she really powered through it
this is the first time i've ever heard somebody call katie "katherine" i think and it would've been really powerful if raph hadn't sounded so utterly defeated already
It went from a power move to a man crawling while pinned under debris
I'm glad Grant is self aware enough to acknowledge how much he crutches on that improv thing. This episode also continues my favorite theme "brief glimpses into the dire financial straits of previous employees of College Humor".
I still get chills from Ally talking about their credit card debt on Dirty Laundry. And it hurts even more considering that show is after Total Forgiveness.
Oh my god grant getting so desperate he chimes in from off camera it’s perfect
"That they don't have to be alive any more" is the one most Katie sentence ever spoken.
Learn from Sam. Don't try to break them, just shower them with honest praise, and they'll disarm themselves.
"The only thing that makes Katie laugh: her uncontainable joy at the thought of imprisoning children in cages." -IceMetalPunk
Katie's Dad's feet are so webbed, his podiatrist is named Charlotte
He never stood a fucking chance. Pressuring her just makes her stronger.
Katie “Carbon” Marovitch.
The end is probably the most emotion I’ve ever seen from Katie
It's actually insane, she won a literal thousand dollars and the corner's of her lips curled upwards slightly.
I am the anti-Katie. I can't even tell a joke with a straight face, never mind hearing a good one.
Amy?
I love that a whole team of comedians becomes so awkward and struggles to think of One Joke between them when faced with Katie lmao.
the most impressive part of this episode was katie made the whole studio laugh multiple times while everyone was trying to make HER laugh
Katie has physically removed the part of her brain that is meant to feel emotions
she just breaks that part off right before they call action and puts it back in her skull when the bag has been secured
Seriously, it's so weird when she laughs in contexts where it is permitted by the rules of the bit.
@@Rylee_G
@@Rylee_G 👏 get 👏 that 💰 bag 💰
This episode shows that Grant can be a good writer, I mean while he did basically have EVERYONE improvise, his lines for Katie were very in character.
The thing that gets me about Katie is that she manages to be completely stone faced while also often being the funniest person in the room. It's one thing to just be humorless, but Katie is on another level of comedy mastery.
The only time i saw Katie break was for the kids in cages joke during the Sam Reich smear campaign episode.
You mean she cracked?! I didn’t see that!
Games have rules.
This line must have hurt Brennan's competitive soul, because she beat him.
What's great about Katie is in anything where she is allowed to laugh she laughs a bunch she just can control it better than anyone
Yeah, the outtake from "Ultramechatron Team Go!" have some great moments of Katie joking around and laughing.
Actually, her dad goes to a normal doctor... but the guy's a quack.
It's such a shame, webbed feet is a terrible mallardy
I love how the instant the video ended, she laughed
Nothing funnier than ruining Grant
Katie laughs when she flubs her lines. Grant knew that and he did nnnoooothiiiiing with it
“So if you bend your fingers back... nevermind. Katherine,”
Protect Raph at all costs
“You’re not gonna laugh at them you’ve looked at them your whole life”
“Every day”
“Every day?!”
A veterinarian who specializes in Duck Medicine
Katie in this episode: "Grant...how do you wish to die?"
0:50 “Don’t touch me” Because she’s ticklish like she said in the Game Changer episode with throwing knives
Everyone deserves someone like Katie in their life.
Someone who stares you dead in the face when you make a dumb joke, lets things stay awkwardly quiet, then make an even dumber joke without cracking a smile.
The fact that it's not even her, it's an act she puts on to mess with people, is even better.
Count me in, I always thought she was super hot.
Why did anyone think football positions would be the key to breaking her???
i guess it was just.. a hail mary
She's expecting something actually funny then has that expectation subverted, I assume. Not what I would have tried but it's a reasonable tactic.
@@devinnie7572 on purpose bad jokes was the strat they went with, but she was too OP
Ok but now do the same challenge but with Amy. The person who makes her hit 100 laughs gets 1000 dollars. If she doesn’t hit 100 laughs, she keeps the money.
Love Schaubach's tone at the end, almost like "Grant, you stupid idiot, how was this going to work?"
“I really need that money”
Big fan of Grant thinking Katie would sabotage herself with a funny punchline only for her to turn around and say "That they don't have to be alive anymore..."
To be fair, it's a very funny punchline
Come for the Queen, you best not miss.
1:22 me realizing her name is katherine
That was truly wild, how can Katie's name be Katherine and not Katie 😢

Is there a section for what specifically made Katie break?

I was going to make fun of you initially but nah now I'm just impressed. Thanks for the info
Thank you for putting this together. I wondered about the figures but didn’t have the follow through to do anything about it. Much appreciated
Thank you for the stats. very insightful.
For me, the most memorable Katie's break was the Sam episode when Caroline said "Kids in cages".
Grant, the word you were looking for here was Ducktor
Katie's so good at keeping it together that if you saw her having fun it would be unsettling.
Seeing her smile at the end was worth it
This channel deserves at least half of the Dropout advertising budget
aww🥹 thank youu
The smile at the end when she won that 1k was great
It's scenarios like this that they should go with the tried and true method: Call Wolfe (Katie's husband)
Does he have some secret jutsu to make her laugh or something?!
@@xmlthegreat He's her husband, what does that tell you?
@@xmlthegreatI mean if anyone's got it it'll be him
Trapp and Brennan are the secret. Grant isn't playing at full strength against Katie here and I think she knows it.
Oh Grant, did you forget the rules? WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LAUGH!!!
Easiest grand Katie made in her life! She's unbeatable at this game. Even Brennan doesn't stand a chance.
After the first horrible joke, I knew the rest of the cast was cooked and Katie was getting that $1K.
They really need to do an episode where all the highest-scoring people in the history of the show are pitted against each other. First one to break instantly loses 100 points.
Why? It would just be Amy with a million points
We need an Amy laugh compilation!!!
@@a_Fax_Machine Amy...isn't a high scorer? She's one of the LOWEST scoring players. You do understand how negative numbers work?
@@hotelmario510We all get the gist of the original comment, Captain Nitpicker, but here’s that attention you ordered.

No I loved it
Don't send Grant to break Katie, send Brennan 🙂
honestly I think he would fail too. Katie can just turn her face off.
@@ordinarytree4678yeah i honestly think she’s just flipping some kind of switch in her head

Katie Marovitch destroys comedy with facts and logic
I really need that money so real so quick 😂
It's like she can just turn her soul off for these things.
I can do that for tickling. It makes my nieces annoyed when they try to mob me on visits, but every uncle has to have a dumb superpower
I’m sure Katie’s dad is thrilled that thousands of strangers know about his webbed feet
they are disfigured
At least a 100k now. I think he deserves the cash
They’re so webbed, instead of going to the doctor he should go to a veterinarian who specializes in duck medicine.
Boom, roasted.
I am so glad there are no professional comedians in my family
I would be terrified to play poker with her.
"I really needed the money" XD best katie qoute
“Please let me win”
Katie has earned my eternal respect for her simple ability not to laugh
THERE’S SO MANY BOOMS--
I don't know if it's been pointed out yet but Katie loves animals AND her husbands name is WOLF
Oh, goodie, another Grant Roast episode!!
Thank you Katie...for solidifying a fact that we already knew. Grant O'Brien is ridiculous.
katie is a sociopath and i love her
COMMITMENT TO THE BIT
... two people with over 30 laughs and neither of them were Amy Vorphal? I need to watch this episode
I love Katie so much, she's such a highlight of everything she's in. Loved her as the weasel on d20 - as a Brit her English accent was terrible but in a funny way, not in a cringe way like some people do. I just really like her and respect her comedy a lot, she's great. More Katie! ❤
Seeing patrick out of nowhere shocked me as a smosh viewer
Honestly i cant tell if its on brand for grant to get humiliated like this or if it’s a step too far and he’s dead now
It's completely on brand for them to hijack and episode by him and turn it on him. Buddy got flammed so hard on one that he walked in front of the camera to defend himself.
he's dead because he has a humiliation fetish and he came so hard he died
A new twist on an old favorite
New challenge: episode where Amy doesn't break
How about an episode where Brennan turns into solid gold, because that's equally as likely
I don't think that's physically possible lol
Sorry, she's already failed that somehow.
What’s more likely? Amy to not laugh or Katie to laugh
@@AlejandroLamKhoakatie to laugh bc i have seen that happen twice, amy has never scored under 20 lol
each edit showing everyone _else's_ score going up got me
Please put Amy and Katie next to each other. That would be enjoyable to watch.
Katie’s dad’s feet are so webbed that when he goes to the park, people throw crumbs at him!
The only bit I laughed at was Katie’s punchlines she destroyed them lol
It's giving Grant and Katie are brother and sister
that show is on pause during the strike i think? im not sure
@@Rylee_G Unfortunate, but very understandable.
@@Jason_Bryant worth it
@@Rylee_G yeah it is but this episode very much helped to fill the void
@@notsoinsaneguy I think the deal is that all WAG and SAG members stop working on anything until a project gets permission from their union to continue.
That could mean that some projects get started again long before the strike ends, but I don't know if that is more or less likely with this project.
Katie's dad's feet are so webbed because he had a run in with Spider-Man.
Mummy zombie on the right. What a humble start
The thumbnail title combination with the break counter is killing me lol
I would’ve just pulled out the stuff she tried on Game Changer Survivor. She was cracking herself up with silly walks
Cool and the next special episode needs to be everyone ganging up on Amy Vorphal.
yes! see if we can break into the triple digits
@@mayuwu4408, how would you even count it if she continually laughs the whole episode?
Stone Cold Marovitch
1:40 well, at least grant is self aware xD
As someone who is cripplingly self aware, being self aware and self deprecating are just two more comedy crutches for unfunny people
Why do I feel like this is another grant punishment 😂
Everything is a grant punishment
my toes are webbed :( people always ask if I can swim better. Dumbest question ever. It’s not like all are webbed & the webbing is huge.
I usually lead with the swiming advantage when someone notices.
I mean the real answer is TECHNICALLY yes. More surface area = more water displaced. It's the reason we prune in water, it's an evolutionary adaptation to being wet to swim better because it increases the surface area of our skin.
You just need to make an episode dedicated to true facts about catherine marovitch
1:27 close.

Lol, insert captain americas "i got that reference" meme here 🤣😂
The last part was golden
holy shit is that patrick from smosh
I looked it up, he wrote for collegehumor in the past. That's probably why he appears
omg seeing patrick love being both a smosh and dropout fan
YES KATIE YES!!
I only remember Katie laughing in season 1
She learned what it meant to taste failur
I love that the scrolling caption at the bottom is just [Try To Make Katie Break].
Not even succeed, just T r y.
This episode of Breaking News was awesome.
Holy crap they got the “where’s my hobbit milk” guy
really, that's the guy?? that video is so good
As a kid we played don't laugh games and I got pretty good at them. It takes a bit of zen
All y'all get in the comments and tell Sam to do a Breaking News Tournament of Champions! And then a Breaking News Tournament of Giggles.
Katie wins the first
Amy (loses/wins?) the other
