Priorities for crown of candy:
-Horror/violence
-Political Intrigue
-Food puns
A perfect trio
It was mostly the food puns
Brennan in a nutshell. 😂
Et tu, Frute?
E
No one besides Brennan played Candyland and wondered if there were "candy fiefdoms"
idk i feel like that’s a pretty reasonable thought to have. i honestly just found out candyland is a board game about 40 seconds ago, though, so i’m probably not qualified to make that judgement…..
I definitely thought about that shit. I also DM though so might be part of it, thinking about stories to tell.
as a kid i always made up stories between the candies LMAO its definitely not just a brennan thing, probably a creativity thing
To be fair I'm pretty sure that at this point his brain largely operates on a rational version of shower thoughts, equally unhinged, but actually well thought out.
"really important questions"
Brennan's definition of very important questions:
-Are there candy taxes?
-How do candy politics work?
-What is the monetary system of Candyland?
-What are the Candy religions?
-What is the candy calendar?
...I love this man's brain
What is the candy culture? Food puns
@@reginaldmustardbacon5866 yes. exactly. "Important questions"
G.r.r.m famously posed such questions for the lord of the rings books so it's on brand
Is there candy right of prima nocta?
E
One of my favorite moments in this season was someone mentioning Christmas and Brennan telling them that he’d already established that this world has a Christmas equivalent and it’d been in the emails he sent out
lol yes I just reached that episode the other day. Siobhan jokes that they never sent Zac's character Christmas cards, Brennan corrects her that it's called High Frosting's Eve, and she just completely breaks character with "Excuse me, High Frosting's Eve, I'm sure it was in an email." XD
High Frostings Eve
Eleanor Abbott's mistake was that she forgot that the decoration of the board game she designed would have implications that Brennan would then have to consider
What a pull man. Thank you for this Drawfee reference
Yes
YES
@@thilypad557 I know Eleanor was the creator of candy land, but where does drawfee enter the picture?
@@SuperiorPosterior as an avid Drawfee viewer, i too am wondering this 🤔
@@SuperiorPosteriorit might be that they often say something similar? Tbh I think they're seeing a reference that isn't really there...
The look he gives the camera, when Brennan says _Food Puns..._ 😂
It feels like he is blaming us and the entire crew behind the camera together for that.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The most Brennan quote of all time, "there is a famous candy themed board game, and there are candy nobility and royalty on it, and that raises some very important questions."
I’d love to just live inside Brennan’s head for a little bit. This child’s board game has candy royalty which raised important questions about candy taxes and candy fiefdoms like ok Brennan sure
You say that now, but once you've been in there, you might regret that
Brennan has never under-thought a single thing in his life and I love that about him
"high medieval political intrigue... (looks right at the camera) and then a lot of food puns." That one-two punch is just Brennan in a nutshell 😂 (an almond shell, to be specific 😉)
WRITE A GUIDEBOOK BRENNAN! Seriously the worlds him and the other writers devise is so interesting they’d probably make off like bandits if they ever made dimension 20 guidebooks
right !! it'd be amazing to learn more deeply about this world
I think he said he wanted to do that for previous seasons, it's just a LOT of work and takes time he doesn't really have atm
yes. because when people think of candyland, they OBVIOUSLY think of the candy fiefdoms. Also how the only place to put the brutality of game of thrones is candyland.
only brennan.
Brennan really understands what 'keep in touch with your inner child' means. Because what a child-like question to ask.
This is so good cause I believe that GRRM wanted to write a story like ASOIAF because he was like, whats Aragorn's tax policy?
And here I thought he couldn't get more based.
"...which starts to raise very important questions"
only to you, brennan.
Not gonna lie, if you are an aspiring DM or writer or any kind of person interested in world building and storytelling, going through these logical motions is a very nice exercise. You start with a simple hypothetical (what if the world had candy people) and move from there (what about other things in the world that make it tick and would make it feel real?)
I wonder what the timeline is between starting Crown of Candy and the Game Changer question Brennan got about the Candyland Plumber?
so many people are baffled like this but dude way before i even watched crown of candy i saw a short of game changer "you think a peanut butter swamp doesn't got infrastructural issues" and immediately my head fired off "wait yeah what the fuck are the politics of candyland there's so many royals and areas, there's GOTTA be conflict and strife there-" and mentally went down this rabbit hole myself
The food theming was actually really helpful as a viewer. With political intrigue, they're are a lot of characters and relationships you need to remember for the story to make sense, and when everyone's food based those relationships are so much easier to keep straight.
Speria Mentha the spearmint lady? She obviously has connections to both Vegetania and some of the more minty houses of Candia. Saccharina the ice cream sorcerer? A child of a Candian and a Dairy Islander. Ciabatta the loaf of sourdough? He's from the grain country of Ceresia, and he's probably not very friendly.
I feel like Brennan is the human embodiment of that one John Mulaney bit lol
“My favorite foods are lobster !! And skittles. “
Brennan had to make up all that, just so he could justify his food puns.
A legend indeed.
Ah, Brennan. One of the only people who looks at Candyland and goes "But what is the government structure like?"
This kind of stuff is exactly why I love Brennan. Like no, babe, no one else was wondering about candy fiefdoms, but I’m so glad you did.
As a writer...I'm jealous of this man's brain.
Good lawd Brennen is charismatic. Like impressively so. Wish I could hold people's attention half as well as he can ❤
Of course Brennan RR Mulligan would look at Candyland and go, "what about candy taxes?"
Yes, Brennan, those are very important questions
"Basically, we thought 'Let's take all of the horror, brutality, violence, and menace of Game of Thrones, and apply it where it would most logically go... Which is Candy Land.'"
I cannot express how much i love this sentence.
Id love to play a dimension 20 campaign
I love the way Brennan see the world and decides the most important question for a game with nobility-themed candy people is "are the fiefdoms", "whats the currency", etc.
I feel that!
Dude talks about creating a calendar from scratch like it’s getting the groceries.
goes on keto, hallucinates candyland game of thrones, insists it be done. refuses to elaborate
Crown of Candy is literally my favorite of their campaigns ✨😁
See this is what I loved about Crown of Candy. The political intrigue, the conspiracy, the betrayals, they suck you in so much that every once in a while brennan has to remind you that we are still talking about food and your brain goes "Oh yeah right."
I would have never thought that A Crown of Candy was even remotely based on Game of Thrones if Brennan had not said so. A lot of this is original perfection. This is how you 'Steal Like An Artist'!!!!❤❤❤❤
How can you not love Brennan, that man is amazing 25/7! 😂
I would absolutely buy a Crown of Candy campaign setting book.
I think the “””origins””” of A Crown Of Candy are not mysterious. It’s Brennan. The man can create universes at the drop of a hat.
This is merely what happens when the prompt is worth a little bit more than one point.
such an amazing season, still rewatch it from time to time
great job brennan. really was a delicious campaign.
Really neat seeing the Dimension 20 set from outside. Didn't realize it was a straight up DOME they're chilling in, I never noticed the walls angling inwards at the top in regular clips.
I feel like Brennan made this whole intricate campaign for the sole purpose to make a bunch of food puns
I hope they do 'of Mice and Murder' and another Starstruck next!
THE RAVENING WAR IS UPON US
I like to imagine kid brennan, instead of enjoying playing shoots and ladders, thinks to himself "are these ladders up to standards? Are the snakes being paid a living wage? Are these snakes unionized?"
I genuinely cannot wait to watch this with my friends 🥰🤩🙌🏻
I've played reverse Candyland with my kids where you start at the Castle and try to escape. The thought being King Kandy just wants to eat the players.
I love how Brennan looks at the camera Right at the end. It feels ontense 😂
I'm so in and I'm so ready for the best version of candyland ever .
I like that all of that are layers of misdirection that it wasn't just for the food puns. And I'm 100% there for it.
This show made me cry so much and I loved it
Brennan's definition of "very important" is different from my own and I am here to learn.
Watching this after The Ravening War has started hits different ❤
Most people seeing candy figures: Cool.
Brennan seeing candy figurines: Do they pay tax?
When they told Brennan that they needed a show, and just let him cook, the man just let his brain go to places that no one asked for and somehow made it work.
Naming a ship "Dairy Air" is the absolute peak of food punning.
Brennan out here asking the REAL questions
One of the few places where #EatTheRich works...
The Misadventures of Flapjack reboot where they make it to candy island
Calorum remains my favorite setting and if y’all ever released a setting sourcebook for it I’d buy it
Leave it to brennan to treat us with smore content. Its a real sweet concept 😂
Can not wait to see Matt run with this bubblegum baton
Crown of Candy is the Best food fight ever.
Brennan: “I had to come up with……”
He wanted to do all of that
Palace drama is a very effective thematic glue.
Wait, did this happen because of the game-changer Fredo from candyland prompt? I guess Sam was like, well we're doing that. 😂
Am I the only person looking at this and thinking of One Piece and Big Mom? Reminds me of it and I love it
Vivid flashbacks to Whole Cake Island arc
I loved crown of candy and can't wait for the ravening war BUT ALSO i didnt realize fhe dome wasn't a whole room 😭 and is just THERE in the middle
I'm just psyched to get to see the outside of the Dome. It looks smaller than I thought it'd be, which is a hallmark of good set design. I feel like Will Smith in Fresh Prince. "Why don't we have a ceiling?"
That is completely amazing.
the way he looks straight at the camera to say this was about the food puns
Brennan stares intently at a candyland board
Yes..yes of course a Count can Coup!
The demented mined of a dungeon master, join us.
You know i would love to just watch brennan cook up a world. Just to see the process
Prediction: "Not the gumdrop buttons!" WILL be quoted during this game. HEED MYN PROPHETICAL LOCUTION!
And yet somehow it was still hilarious
I just thought you saw Adventure Time next to Game of Thrones in you HBO Max recommendations
This show has the same energy as Bojack Horseman. "What if we did a stunning portrayal of the way fame, generational trauma, and regret twists our lives and also a bunch of great animal puns?"
I’m currently watching The Seven as my first entry into Dimension 20 but man I think I might make Crown of Candy my next pic
Candyland used to be my favorite board game as a kid, I used to make everyone play with me,
Ai animation is getting better and better, even the Ai voices thing let's you chat with every npc in skyrim and they answer perfectly!
In like 5 years, every dnd session can and will be animation like 5h later.
Man made an entire world fit with entire cultures and countries. Each with a detailed and unique history, culture, military, alliances, currencies, gods and societies.
He made an entire living breathing medieval world based around different food stuffs that’s filled with song of Ice and Fire and Dune style espionage and political drama.
This man made this world’s whole history and days and holidays to the point where there is even a Christmas equivalent he thought of and what was his inspiration for this amazing feat of world building and storytelling.
He looked at a child’s board game about candy people, saw they had royalty and thought to himself “what’s the politics of this game’s world?”
Thank god for Candyland cos I don’t think Calorum would be the same or even exist without Brennan thinking way too hard about it.
I was expecting to see that 1st season game changer prompt. You could almost see the gears turning in Brennan's head.
Crown of candy was inspired by Brennan's one bit from the original noise boys episode
We need a COC source book and adventure!
Im positive brennan came up with this idea during a game of Gamechanger
“Food puns” and was aware that a ifoodimati would exist, didn’t think of FDA
I do wonder if they've kept the old dome stored away, bc the new "dome" is
just LED boards
There's a Perry Bible Fellowship comic like this
Who doesn't love food puns
Gonna watch just for the food puns.
To be fair, I think in a world where EVERYTHING tastes good, and EVERYTHING is easily edible and consumable, you would absolutely get some fucked up shit.
Plz make this campaign into a graphic novel!
Well I do love a good food pun...
I wonder how many almonds were killed in the taping of that series… knowing Brennan’s proclivities.
I wish they'd just release it free on TH-cam already
Okay so everyone looks at Candy Land and they see a fuckin' mythical place all right. A lot of fuckin' work has gotta happen to make this shit run on time. you think a fuckin' peanut butter swamp doesn't have infrastructural issues? you fuckin' dreamin dude. Dudes gotta go put the pipes in to bring the peanut butter to the swamp all right? And that's where fuckin' 'Fredo comes in baby!
I have done this before and it went horribly wrong and also incredibly hilarious. They tried to eat anything and everything that was candy. Living and nonliving
I think Brenen thought those things and everyone else thought it was funny to contrast the horror and violence with cute candy land characters.
Queen frostine took her ice dragons and destroyed the kingdom.
Objection! Candy Land is not a board game.
