@@richardkirkland6805 Um actually, they are the only 2 stated rules, but you can’t have a winner if you don’t have more rules than that such as the winner is the one with the most points at the end, or correctly answered questions are with 1 point ( or as trapp decides) etc. even just that trapp decides all other rules.
It's weird watching these old episodes when they haven't figured out the format of the shiny questions yet. Like with the Hear Me Roar question, it's so obvious that the contestants should buzz in for each individual roar. The idea that one person buzzes in to be able to attempt the question is just so obviously a flawed system.
“Are you doing a bit?……… That son of a bi*** said its name….” Made me laugh so hard. That was the epitome of nerd-rage when you think the answer is so obvious it’s INSANE the person can’t possibly know it. 🤣
um actually, it is important which generation of star trek the question is about, as while red is security in the original series, from TNG onwards, red became the color of command
@@Cody_Istre true, but in following seasons, such as DS9 and voyager, the modifications to uniform code becomes standard, so there is more star trek where red is worn by command than yellow.
Cody Istre Um actually Worf and Jordy were in command division in season 1 of TNG. Worf goes Gold when he becomes chief of security and Jordy gets his gold when he is made chief engineer. In season 1 they were just bridge crew. Also in DS9 worf transfered to coma day division when he was stationed in DS9. They even have dialog about that in his first DS9 episode and it’s referenced in First Contact
Saying "potassium sulfate?" To the K2SO thing is probably the nerdiest thing I've seen on this show. The actual chemical formula for potassium sulfate is K2SO4.
Um Actually Tieflings are not descended from demons, they are descended from devils. Demons are chaotic and monstrous and live in The Abyss, whereas devils are a lawful evil, and they live in the 9 Hells. The text of the book specifically says that they get features from their Infernal descent, referring to devils, rather than abyssal heritage which would be referring to demons.
Literally came into the comics to say this. Also, to add to that, they're not technically "descended" from anything other than human, it's just that those humans made pacts with devil's to imbue their bloodlines with infernal power, so it's heavily implied that tieflings lack any sort of devil ancestor.
Um, actually this only takes into account 4th and 5th edition, prior to 4th edition (and in pathfinder) abyssal tieflings exist as official canon, and there's a UA for abyssal Tiefling in the works for 5e. Tieflings always have a fiendish influence within their bloodline, but it can be either infernal or abyssal.
Any reason a tiefling can't be descended from a daemon/yugoloth, for that matter? Also, on this pedantic note, can't aasimar be descended from any celestial, not just angels? I know 5th edition sort of simplified that side of the outer hierarchy a bit.
They are fiend descendant that means devils, demons, yugoloth, daemon. There is one special case where child can become a Tiefling if one of their ancenstors made a pact with Asmodeus, where you will be considered Asmodeus' tiefling even though Asmodeus is nowhere in your family tree
Um, Actually Elves and Dwarves in Tolkein's world don't hate each other over appearance. It dates right back to the First Age, when Dwarves murdered the Elf King Thingol of Doriath after a quarrel over the Nauglamir, the Necklace of the Dwarves, which had been set with the last remaining Silmaril.
I think the point is, Elves and Dwarves never get along, and the reason is usually some event in the otherwise long forgotten past whose only purpose is to explain this one thing. So it's a grudge that's really just there to fulfill a stereotype, with a placeholder motive that's otherwise meaningless.

Uhhhm actually, shai-hullud referred specifically to the largest and most ancient examples of the sandworm of which the smaller were but pale imitations. This puts the name in a bit more context since they literally are the old men of the desert.
You should really have a D&D / Tolkien episode with , Brennan Lee Mulligan, and Matthew Mercer, and maybe Dael Kingsmill if you could get her. That would be fucking awesome.
Not sure if anyone will see this or it will matter, but the closed captions for the sound based shiny questions instantly give away the answer, taking away any of the fun of playing it yourself at home.
Um actually, in Tolkien canon, the elf/dwarf enmity came from the first age, when elves did not recognise the dwarves as sapient beings, and would hunt them for sport.
Um actually, whether the Star Trek question pertains to TOS or TNG is important because the red and gold colors swapped divisions between the two eras.
Um, actually, Jareth didn't kidnap the baby brother; the kid was taken by the Goblin King because his sister willingly gave him up by wishing for it. Jareth was fulfilling the wish, and completing the verbal contract.
3:33 Um, technically, in The Lord of the Rings universe specifically Elves and Dwarves hated each other because of the sack of Doriath, which happened in the First Age (6 thousand + years before TLotR) and where a bunch of Elves and Dwarves killed each other over a Silmaril. Most other fantasy universes just copied the concept of Dwarves and Elves hating each other from Tolkien, but "forgot" to give it a reason like Tolkien did. So, yes, that does happen in most universes, but technically it is given a reason in Tolkien's mythos.

@@kevinbarnard355 but even more technically, although alcohok itself is classified as a drug, the thing presented was an alcoholic beverage, which is not a drug. But rather contains one

Um, Actually: Gave out a viewer point in an earlier episode for pointing out the actual meaning of Star Fleet uniforms vis-à-vis the pop culture "answer" of "red shirts die!' Also Um, Actually: "I'm going to give out this point for the wrong answer even though a better answer was provided!"
Um actually, Jonathan Goldsmith, the actor who played the "most interesting man in the world" where he said the famous lines "I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis," and "Stay thirsty, my friends," played an unnamed red-shirt on the episode "The Corbomite Maneuver" the original Star Trek series and survived the entire episode.
vynat draco Also tieflings can come from any fiend as can cambions. The distinction between them is that cambions have an infernal parent while tieflings typically come from a human family when infernal influence from early generations manifests in their appearance
@@aidanmahar5192 Um actually in 5e the playable Tieflings trace their ancestry back to one of the Lords of the Abyss such as Asmodeus and thus are half Baatezu (Devil).. They are a separate race rather than crossbreeds. th-cam.com/video/1rD-sA6P3AU/w-d-xo.html The confusion may be coming from the fact that Volo's guide gives rules for Demonic cults right after the section on Tiefling bloodlines and because in the Forgotten Realms setting Tieflings can be either the result of Baatezu or Tanar'ri.
"If we got something wrong, and it's driving you fucking nuts right now" could be the single funniest (like distilled essence of dweeb) line of any episode. I salute you, despite my giggling.
My favourite and also least favourite thing about this show is that they've picked up on how narrow the contestants' knowledge actually is and make their questions based on the one part of each IP the internet never shuts up about. Like, I've never read Stephen King's It, but I could have answered that question in a HEARTBEAT.
My rage induced by the lack of recognition for the Shai Hulud and the Fremen is immeasurable. You're hosting a nerd contest and they haven't read Dune?
Um, Actually, at 21:30, both Spice and Death Sticks could be attributed to the Star Wars franchise. The Kessel Run is entirely built to reach the spice mines of Kessel. Spice is processed into, among other things, Death Sticks.
I have never been more angry at this show than I was during the Dune question. Nerd cards should revoked for all 3! Not only did they miss an easy question the extra comments were completely wrong!
there were 4 shows i will watch over and over again. Babylon 5, Whose line is it anyways, QI, and i am glad to say i have added a 5th to the list, um actually :)
4:34 Haley: "He asked a question about Doom, the original PC first-person shooter?" UM, ACTUALLY! Doom was preceded by Wolfenstein 3D, another PC first-person shooter.
umm, actually, Genasi are descendant from Genies; which although hailing from the elemental planes, are different than actual elementals, for example, a fire genasi would be descendant from an Efreeti (fire genie) and an Air genasi would be related to a Djinni (air genie), yes genie are elementals but they are a specific kind of elemental and genasi can only be descendant from genies and no other type of elemental
The buzz in shiny questions should play by Jeopardy rules. Only letting one person answer means there's no reason to ever not buzz in. Best case you win a point, worst case nobody else has a chance to get the point.
Um, actually, not only are angels *a type of celestial,* but according to the Forgotten Realms wiki, many mortals were known to simply use "angel" when referring to an encounter with a celestial. Considering that the Forgotten Realms is the de facto source of default D&D lore, this would also ring true for aasimar. In addition, the in-universe word for an angel is an aasimon, the word from which aasimar is derived.

Either they both have clicks, or that's the Predalien from AVP 2
I was thinking that too
They both have clicks.
"Drugs of the future"
Um, actually, the Star Wars franchise is set "long ago", so describing whatever drugs Jedi use as future drugs is incorrect.
And ummmm, actually, the pan galactic gargle blaster is both from the present and not a drug, but just a drink
@@m1g4s "Technically" alcohol is a drug.
@@kevinbarnard355 but even more technically, although alcohok itself is classified as a drug, the thing presented was an alcoholic beverage, which is not a drug. But rather contains one
@@m1g4s Sure, and coffee isn't a drug, but contains the drug caffeine. Your point?
@@kevinbarnard355 my point is that a cocktail isn't a drug. Thought that was pretty obvious
Um, actually, death sticks are from long long ago...
Um actually star wars takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far far away and therefor deathsticks are a drug of the past
So glad you guys are doing this again. One of my favorite shows on TH-cam 👍
Um Actually, the Jedi weren't doing the Deathsticks, they were mind-controlling people to knock that shit off.
Um actually, Jareth didn't kidnap the baby. Sarah asked him to come take the baby and as the temporary guardian of said baby, as well as sister, AND given that it was less than 13 hours...it was more accurate to call it an intense sleepover. :P
YES. He didn't kidnap Toby, she gave him up to the Goblin King (unknowingly)
Um, actually I've seen this video in the suggestions for weeks but didn't know my boi D.O.B was in it. Love that man so much!!!
Um, Actually: Gave out a viewer point in an earlier episode for pointing out the actual meaning of Star Fleet uniforms vis-à-vis the pop culture "answer" of "red shirts die!'
Also Um, Actually: "I'm going to give out this point for the wrong answer even though a better answer was provided!"
When did they change Shiny Questions to be ones where everyone participate simultaneously? I much prefer that than just one person getting to guess.
True.. There was literally no reason to have only one of them answer these questions
This crew had great chemistry! Super fun
Love how the Dune question is basically popular knowledge now
Um actually, Jonathan Goldsmith, the actor who played the "most interesting man in the world" where he said the famous lines "I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis," and "Stay thirsty, my friends," played an unnamed red-shirt on the episode "The Corbomite Maneuver" the original Star Trek series and survived the entire episode.
They should have used that in one of their commercials.
Holy shit! Daniel "Its officially pronounced DOB" O'Brien!
Um actually, tieflings are descended from devils, not demons.
Um actually tieflings can be descendants of any fiend
@@krool141 Demons make Cambions, read Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes!
vynat draco Um actually Cambions were introduced in Volo’s Guide to Monsters
Edit: This was wrong as well, cambions are from the monster manual
vynat draco Also tieflings can come from any fiend as can cambions. The distinction between them is that cambions have an infernal parent while tieflings typically come from a human family when infernal influence from early generations manifests in their appearance
@@aidanmahar5192 Um actually in 5e the playable Tieflings trace their ancestry back to one of the Lords of the Abyss such as Asmodeus and thus are half Baatezu (Devil).. They are a separate race rather than crossbreeds. th-cam.com/video/1rD-sA6P3AU/w-d-xo.html The confusion may be coming from the fact that Volo's guide gives rules for Demonic cults right after the section on Tiefling bloodlines and because in the Forgotten Realms setting Tieflings can be either the result of Baatezu or Tanar'ri.
"If we got something wrong, and it's driving you fucking nuts right now" could be the single funniest (like distilled essence of dweeb) line of any episode. I salute you, despite my giggling.
Trapp looks so great! He's clearly at his glow-up age.
Oh man... DOB, being a nerd, I love it. Miss content with him in it. OPCD and After Hours are still favorites I revisit frequently.
She's so cute, doing her leg wiggle when she's excited to answer a question
My favourite and also least favourite thing about this show is that they've picked up on how narrow the contestants' knowledge actually is and make their questions based on the one part of each IP the internet never shuts up about. Like, I've never read Stephen King's It, but I could have answered that question in a HEARTBEAT.
Um actually the way they used to do shiny questions is infuriating and I'm glad they changed it
My rage induced by the lack of recognition for the Shai Hulud and the Fremen is immeasurable. You're hosting a nerd contest and they haven't read Dune?
It's so great to see Daniel!
Um, Actually, at 21:30, both Spice and Death Sticks could be attributed to the Star Wars franchise. The Kessel Run is entirely built to reach the spice mines of Kessel. Spice is processed into, among other things, Death Sticks.
"This is supposed to be about monsters and I got a fucking charmander!"
Um, actually...poke _mon_ ?
I have never been more angry at this show than I was during the Dune question. Nerd cards should revoked for all 3! Not only did they miss an easy question the extra comments were completely wrong!
shiny questions have definitely improved over the years but the use of props was cool
@9:22 Haley Mancini took the words right outta my brain.
there were 4 shows i will watch over and over again. Babylon 5, Whose line is it anyways, QI, and i am glad to say i have added a 5th to the list, um actually :)
Umm actually, drugs of the future wouldn’t involve death sticks, as they’re from a long time ago in a galaxy far,far away.
Holy shit, I haven't seen Dan O'Brien in literal years 😭
I just had a *flood* of memories hit me out of no where
In that case, subscribe to his and Soren's podcast "Quick question with Sören and Daniel"
I just want to acknowledge Trapp’s “Elroll! Fuckin roll with it!”
Um actually, the nazgul are not monsters, but faded men under the influence of the 9 rings of power given to humans
4:34
Haley: "He asked a question about Doom, the original PC first-person shooter?"
UM, ACTUALLY! Doom was preceded by Wolfenstein 3D, another PC first-person shooter.
umm, actually, Genasi are descendant from Genies; which although hailing from the elemental planes, are different than actual elementals, for example, a fire genasi would be descendant from an Efreeti (fire genie) and an Air genasi would be related to a Djinni (air genie), yes genie are elementals but they are a specific kind of elemental and genasi can only be descendant from genies and no other type of elemental
The older Dan gets, the better he looks. Goodbye, DOB. Hello, BOD.
The Closed Captioning for the alien sounds had the answers.
The buzz in shiny questions should play by Jeopardy rules. Only letting one person answer means there's no reason to ever not buzz in. Best case you win a point, worst case nobody else has a chance to get the point.
Um Actually, Aasimar are of Celestials, not angels, and those are DEFINITELY different things
Um, actually, not only are angels *a type of celestial,* but according to the Forgotten Realms wiki, many mortals were known to simply use "angel" when referring to an encounter with a celestial. Considering that the Forgotten Realms is the de facto source of default D&D lore, this would also ring true for aasimar. In addition, the in-universe word for an angel is an aasimon, the word from which aasimar is derived.
@@paradoxxis8612 This dude not only slam dunk out nerded a pedantic fuck, but did so on a low-karma comment 4 months old. Easily the TRUEST spirit of the game. Nothing but respect, good sir!
@@XianTheRetiredTH-camr And nothing but respect for you as well. Just doing my duty as a far-too-pedantic nerd with too much free time.
