Um actually, when Amy and Trapp mime a tuba, both made the action of extending the slide of a trombone. Tubas are played by pressing valves and are held upright on your lap while you both clearly mimed a trombone horizontal from you face.
I’m glad someone else got to this “Um, Actually”. I felt my high school band self screaming through time
Um actually, they were going for humor, not accuracy.
@@justincoleman3805 Um actually, this correction very much goes with the spirit of the show.
Oh god, i m so glad someone notice that ahah
Peak “itchy strikes the same bone twice but clearly produces two distinct tones” energy and I’m here for it
I absolutely love Amy's scandalized reaction to the Vorpal Blade going "swish swash".
Snicker-snack, or gtfo, amirite? Sheeeeesh
Also....Um, ACTUALLY, it's Jubjub bird, not beast
Mike has no idea how to react lmao
yeah he looks like the slithy toads came down and gyred/gimbled in his wabe, amirite?
@@phoebepalydovas9881 Um, ACTUALLY, no you aren't. It's slithy toves. What can I say, I love that poem.
Other games: I wanna win!
This game: Oh look, we each have 3 points. *We're a coven now.*
But seriously, this episode was extra fun.
Only 5 min in and they collectively can answer everything!
I feel like a lot of the male only episodes is full with a bunch of bullshitting and guesses
@@Dylan-Juhan I like both, to be honest-
@@Dylan-JuhanThey did crush this episode.
Praise Hecate 🖤
I live for Amy being offended by incorrect vorpal blade sound. Such an amazing moment.
Ok, but why did nobody point out that it's the jubjub bird not beast
@@ConstantChaos1 they probably would have gotten it after a bit more time, but the swish swash overshadowed it
"Is this show about gaslighting?" Was a great line
Um Actually
I was waiting for Trapp to say "Um actually, it's a show about mansplaining" lol
I have no clue what that actually means and while I usually look up EVERYTHING, I just feel like this is some kind of crybaby sissy ass bullshit so I don't even care....
@@charlottefierro7919 that would ruin the whole vibe of the show because they would have to replace the host and only have people who identify as women as contestants.
@@charlottefierro7919 Super toxic btw
I need to see Amy, Brenan, and Matt on this show. The length the tangents will go on for will be unseen
that would be a ten hour episode
that's not a complaint, by the way, I'd watch that weekly
Oooh or throw Josh in there in place of Matt
Obscene or unseen? Because they definitely cut things from this episode. But I’d want to see the raw footage regardless.
Um actually should be obscene
Um, actually it’s “Brennan.”
Um actually, Carroll was a mathematician and most of those books were logic puzzles. Also it was a jubjub *bird*
Just because there are logic puzzles involved doesn't mean Carroll wasn't off his ass on opium making up words.
It's always a little disappointing when people think you need to take drugs to be out of the box and creative
@@micheal2458 Um Actually, even though he wasn’t “off his ass” on drugs all the time, Carroll suffered from a rare form of epilepsy that caused him to hallucinate vividly during his seizures. The most common hallucinations he had were about his body shrinking and the sensation of falling, which inspired the premise of the book and the “passage” to Wonderland that Alice took. So no insane drug abuse, but it’s not like the guy pulled the story out of his ass or anything either lol
Um actually, his stories and hallucinations were inspired by how he imagined a mathematics which allowed non-Euclidean geometries. Carroll was a Euclidean much in the way that Einstein was hesitant about certain things in QM like the uncertainty principle.
@@simonwilliams9285 He also wanted to make absurdities because he was deeply offended by this new trend brought into english mathematics from the middle east to use Letters to represent numbers. He thought that first you let letters be numbers and then all nothing means anything.
Alice in Wonderland was partly written to be a repudiation of algebra.
"Hey gelatinous cube, what kind of angles do you have?"
"Right," said Fred.
that joke gave us all 3d6 psychic damage from reading it
Holy shit. I'm gonna shamelessly steal this for a future campaign.
You should have a pet attack cube that is a hat or becomes a hair stylist.
Now sit in the corner and think of what you did… whichever of the eight is up to you.
Um actually, the sailor soldiers’ powers are not elemental based. They’re powers are (roughly) based off of the Greco Roman gods their planets were named after; IE: Jupiter has lightening, Venus has love, Neptune has oceans.
Um actually, it's lightning.
oh my gosh, I was watching and "wait, Moon is not planet, but what about the elemnts...?" "But there's a nother thing wrong with it, can you tell?" There we go! "Pluto is not a planet " NO!"
You're right but that doesn't make their powers any less Elemental.
Even the "powers based on gods" argument is pretty flawed. Mercury was god of travel, not bubbles. Uranus was the sky, not the god of earthquakes, Mars is the god of war, not fire... Apparently there WAS a Sailor Saturn, who held "power over life and death", which, I guess you could argue is an extreme extrapolation of Time, which is what Saturn was, but that's kind of a stretch.
It seems much more like it was a combination of the two things. Sailor Venus having love-powers makes sense from the godly perspective (unless you're Captain Planet, in which case "heart is the fifth element"), but Mercury being associated with water was just pure elemental stuff.
And then, of course, there's Sailor Moon, whose powers were... "Let's call it 'moon-something'. Or refer to whatever magic item she's wielding this episode. Or both".
It's pretty safe to say that "elemental powers" is a reasonable facsimile of what was actually going on, though. Lightning, water, fire, earth, those are all elemental powers, so it's not unreasonable to call them so.
Um actually...They are elements. They are based on the Asian elements with Jupiter having Wood based powers (because lightening = wood for some reason. Example: Jupiter Oak Evolution) And Venus' element is apparently metal (Venus Love Me Chain.) Mercury and Neptune are Water based. Uranus is Wind. Mars is Fire. Saturn is Earth. And Pluto is the supposed element of Time.
"The Asian characters in Harry Potter only have 7 lines" that sad as hell given Harry dated Cho Chang for a bit
@@Taracs she still dated the main character, wouldnt it make sense to have a few more lines??
@@Taracs you know that there are a lot of non-white people in the UK because of colonialism, right?
Also, Hogwarts is in _Scotland,_ not England.
To be fair there are multiple references to Cho and other Asian characters speaking, they just aren't in quotes, but are being paraphrased or spoken of instead. Also, 7 lines is not accurate at all and a gross exaggeration even if the Asian populace is still largely underrepresented. In book five on 2 pages alone Cho Chang has 9 separate lines during the mistletoe scene and at least 42 lines in the book that I found.
@@stephenrhoades8686 - "lines" sounds like it's talking about the movies. That's how you measure dialogue in movies, and it matters even more whether a character is speaking their own lines, or other characters are discussing a conversation they had. On the page, everything's just text. On screen, a different actor will deliver the lines.
It makes sense that condensing a book to a movie needs to leave some things out, and Harry's relationship with Cho was always sort of background scenery for the main story even in the books. With only a bit of character growth / development for Harry coming out of it. (Been a long time since I read the books, but I think that's accurate). So it's depressingly easy to see how Asian minor characters get reduced to even less significant in the movie version.
@@stephenrhoades8686 "lines per character". If there's 5 Asian characters and one speaks 12 lines and 4 speak none... That's 12/5
Um, actually, the moomin Valley map shown here is a translated version. The original was in Swedish, since Tove Jansson was from the Swedish speaking minority in Finland and thus wrote in Swedish.
Fun fact, because of this, the animated series based on the books and comics has a cast of Swedish speaking Finns in its Swedish version, leading to people in Sweden often referring to the accent Swedish speaking Finns have as "moomin-swedish".
(to clarify: "Swedish speaking Finns" (finlandssvenskar) are a minority group, a bit like French speaking Canadians)
My wife is from Finland, and I knew most of this, but I've never heard of moomin-swedish, that's hilarious.
In the 90s every kid first heard Finland-Swedish from Mumin, so it's easy to make that association.
I also think it is regarded as a very beautiful accent because of how it has a very clear pronouncuation of consonants where many other accents do not.
Last but not least, I know millenials such as me in Sweden connect the accent to both Mumin and Mark Levengood, and all of those radiate warmth and kindness. 😊
What are you trying to correct here? Even if it's not the original map, it is still an official map from the books.
@@KelpTheGreat sometimes, you follow a format for the sake of a joke, or to provide extra information, even when it does not fit the format perfectly. On a more serious note it is a bit weird that they used a translated map, without it even being one translated into English, which would at least make sense considering the contestants speak English. Weird with a side dish of being insensitive because of how it erases the author's minority identity in a case where such a thing is a very frequent occurrence.
And um actually Finland is not part of scandinavia
Um, actually, the "Deckmaster" tag served a legitimate purpose when it was first created. When Wizards created MtG, they planned on making several different trading card games, and "Deckmaster" was the brand they would put on all their games to unite them and identify them as Wizards of the Coast games. They included it on MtG cards, Net Runner cards, and Vampire: the Eternal Struggle cards. Over time, they decided it wasn't necessary, but MtG is very popular and people use cards from all the different sets in their games, so they can't change the design of the back now without opponents being able to tell what kind of cards you have in your hand (without opaque card sleeves). That's why it's still around even though its purpose is obsolete.
This comment is very nerdy, yet informative.
Um actually, the Deckmaster logo is not on the bottom of every magic cards. For example oversized commander, double-sided card or contraption.
@@egare Fair enough. It's on the bottom of every standard-sized, single-faced card that could end up in a player's hand.
I was for sure certain that the mistake was going to be the missing stray pen mark on every card back
@@IceMetalPunk um actually the deck master logo isn't on artist proof cards which have just a blank white back
Fun fact the wizards of the coast crew agree that the “deck master” tag line is dumb and pointless but they couldn’t change it after the first print run without broadcasting to everyone what cards you were using based on the card back.
They also desperately wish they could remove the faint pen mark that is on the back of every card but they are forever stuck with things as they are.
Originally Magic was meant to be the first in a series of different "Deckmaster" games, their name for what are now called Collectible/Trading Card Games. Instead they went with expansions for Magic.
@@jhonea6535 Yup, in fact they just narrowly dodged having the second set be named Magic: Arabian Nights and have a blue back before someone interjected and realized the whole thing would work better if you could mix the sets.
@@aidennoir597 um actually, arabian nights was going to have a pink card back. They've actually shown what it was going to look likr
@@Arkouchie Um actually, I forgot the color, thanks for the correction.
In Harry Potter, Justin Finch-Fletchley literally has a conversation with Harry about choosing between Hogwarts and Eton
Um, actually, he had already gotten an acceptance letter to Eton, and it was his mother who was dubious about Hogwarts. Justin never actually said that he personally had to choose which school to go to
This is one of my favorite episodes - all three contestants are mostly evenly matched in all topics (without a lot of flailing) as opposed to one player who just walks through the entire game.
I've played magic for almost 20 years, I've probably spent thousands of hours staring at the back of cards and I still blanked on the image there lmao
Same. I instinctively felt the bottom part was a little empty, but what thoughts I managed to have ran parallel with what they came up with. Despite even knowing the story of how that deckmaster thing got there and why it stayed there.
Same -- it took me a while, and I played for close to a decade. I think everyone would have immediately noticed if the mana colors were out of order. Guess ignoring the Deckmaster at the bottom of the card finally kicked me in the junk.
It felt like dad coming downstairs when you were like 5 after he shaved his beard into a goatee. Ya know something is off and it’s unsettling but you can’t place your finger on it exactly.
@@Xomage999 "what thoughts I managed to have" is one of the greatest sentence fragments I've ever read in my life. I'm stealing it.
Um, Actually, you're not asking questions: You're making incorrect statements about the things we know and love.
There is no "on to the next question."
Holy crap... I've been watching this for years and never realized this!😂
Perhaps you could infer that the question is "What is wrong with this statement?" But that wouldn't really jibe with the need to preface with "um, actually."
@@Chasmodius the question is "will you stop fucking correcting me and just let it go" and the answer is always no❤
There is an argument to be made for a heavily implied question with every statement, something along the lines of "What is wrong with the following statement?"
As much as I fundamentally agree with you, there's something to the idea that stating trivia incorrectly is, apparently quite literally, the equivalent of asking for it to be corrected.
Amy Vorpahl is like, the embodiment of Um, Actually. Holy smokes does she know her shit.
I want an um actually all-time champions, vorpal Brennan and Mercer
@@averagejoey2000 Omg, that would be so sick. Make it a special 4 way and have Trapp play too with a special guest host or something.
I'm sure it helped that there was very little video gaming anything.
@@thrillhovanhouten253 That's just one aspect of nerd/geek culture though. Most video game stuff is derived from all the other areas anyways.
calliph I'm saying that I don't think they would've scored as high considering that they got 0 questions about the most masculine topic in nerd culture.
They ran roughshod over Trapp. That was a delight to watch. Finally, a whole lineup that gets the essence of Um, Actually. Trapp looked to be genuinely put on his heels. Loved it.
I didn't really see that. He seemed to be having a blast and let them have their fun.
@@calebnelson9381 agreed. He really knows what energy to work with, when to get pedantic, etc. We've seen his best side *after* Dropout started.
It's funny to see Amy be genuinely great on a gameshow after seeing her epic performances on Breaking News.
She's also genuinely great at sucking and swallowing
Um, actually, quite a few of the Sailor Soldiers don't have powers you'd usually classify as "elemental". Only Mercury, Neptune, Mars, and Jupiter have powers involving the classical elements of water (or ocean), fire, and lightning. The other soldiers have more esoteric powers of things like "love", "spacetime", "sky", or "destruction".
There is a pattern to their powers; they are based off of the Greco Roman gods their planets were named for: Jupiter/ Zeus = lightening and oak, Venus/ Aphrodite = love, Neptune/ Poseidon = oceans
@@keah and of course Mercury = bubbles and ice.
Um, actually, everyone knows that Love is the 5th element.
Um actually, petunia only received a rejection letter because she sent a letter asking to be accepted.
Also, she did not live up to her side of protecting Harry until Dumbledore practically threatened her with a howler.
Um actually, the onomatopoeia for a tuba sound is "BWOMP" and the sound "BAMF" is actually the sound of air rushing in to fill the space that Nightcrawler left behind by teleporting.
Um actually a tuba sound is BWARR, you're thinking of a trombone
And FHOOF is a nickname for a vagina
Um actually, the moomins are the best kids franchise ever (they started as a series of books, then comics and eventually TV cartoon). Originally Finnish, they are quite well known in Eastern Europe and for some reason not so much in the west, and you guys are missing out.
Fun fact, the original comics were not for children.
Yeah great TV cartoon but I was convince they were hippos
@@Fallkhar One of the only things I know about Moomin is that in one episode a zookeeper tries to catch the Moomintrolls, falsely believing they are hippos!
The episode where they have an out-of-control growing flesh-eating plant in the basement really terrified me as a kid! I had to run to the stairs and watch it from far away, through the railings.
Um actually, the Moomins are beloved in Sweden, which is most of the time counted as "in the west" (although of course these terms are vague, I just based it on polling data)
This crew is so supportive and excited for their competitors getting points! It’s so wholesome
The “and peggy” joke at the end is too good to lead into the outro
For a while 10ftx10ft corridors were super common, and gelatinous cubes perfectly fit in them. They also perfectly fit at the bottom of 10ftx10ft pits.
Um, Actually, it's a jubjub Bird, not a Beast.
Also, its in Alice, Through the Looking-Glass (And What She Found There); not Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Beat me to it by half an hour
@@Halrax_38 beat me by two. Bur I didnt read the comments first
I just can't get to the video before someone can beat me to the correction. Well done
I knew I would be late to this by far but I wrote a comment anyway lol...the mistake hurt me too deeply to stay silent.
Goddamn right it’s a Jubjub Bird!
During the Nightcrawler question, did anyone else start energetically saying “BAMF!” at their screen?
YES! And then suddenly, it all went "gassy", and my computer was a while foot away from me! Weird, isn't it?
I did, but it wasn't at the screen as much as into my chair.
My father literally leaned in from another room and yelled "BAMF!" at me
I imagine bamf is like if pomf grew up in Brooklyn
Ahhhh Dane cook
The look of disgust when the map was revealed to be the Moomintrolls made me die inside. I fucking loved the Moomins growing up. ❤️
Probably more popular in Europe and Japan than America?
@@CaitiffPrimogen Probably. I did grow up in Europe so that would make sense
Um actually, nowhere in the seven Harry Potter books said specifically where Durmstrang is. It's just referred to as some ambiguous location (possibly up north) that people can't easily find.
Technically not an Um, Actually, but there is another named Gelatinous Cube. There is one in the card game, Dungeon Mayhem: Monster Madness, named Blorp.
Blorp is fantastic
Um, Actually, Durmstrang is located in the far north of Europe which does not necessarily mean in Scandinavia, it could be in Finland or Russia also.
Also, Durmstrang sounds weridly germanic/russian in comparison to other scandinavian words
@@theminecraftruler123 Um actually, Scandinavian languages *are* germanic. Russian is slavic.
Also, Durmstrang is a play on the 18th century German literary movement "Sturm und Drang".
Umm actually, J.K. Rowling clarified December 9th, 2000 during a reading for the Maggie's Cancer Caring Centre that she believes Durmstrang to be in northern Scandinavia, in Sweden or Norway -- so it is very specifically in Scandinavia. Which is odd choice, admittedly, since none of the characters from the school sound Scandinavian
@@MandatoryHandle yeah "believed" but the castle is enchanted with memory charms AND according to the "wizardingworld" website it's in northern Europe, also according to their map, it's in Russia.
i thought it was Bulgarian
"What's wrong with this picture" *SPRINTS TO TRADE BINDER*
The thing I really love about the gelatinous cube (well, one of them) is that it specifically states in its stat block that it takes up its entire space!
Um actually... Not all of the cards in Magic: the Gathering have the Deck Master printing. Some of them are dual-faced cards, in which both sides are playable, either from the hand directly, or can be flipped to the other side during play (depending on card.)
Best correction
It warms my heart that there was a map of the Moominvalley, I audibly gasped!
i’ve literally never opened a copy of brave new world, but for some ungodly reason i knew the cover
I love the interactions between everyone this episode! It felt so pleasant and wholesome.
Hmm actually, this isn't a correction, but the student deciding between hogwarts and a regular university is already a sketch college humor did in 2011
Lol
When you make so many sketches you start rethinking of your own sketches.
This is like when the Simpsons started riping themselves off 😂
I'm here to post the same thing, that's a really good video honestly, featuring britanick
Trapp was actually working for CH when that video came out so he may even have written that
Um, actually, the Jub-Jub is a bird, not a beast. Per Mirriam-Webster, the primary definition of a beast is a four-legged mammal, distinguished from a human being, a lower verterbrate, and an inverterbrate. I was surprised this wasn't the error when I first heard it.
This episode was an absolute delight, bring these three back!
This group is just so lovely and chill, I had so much fun watching them.
Um, actually, it’s the Jubjub *bird* , not the Jubjub *beast*
Fun episode. Close 'til the end, everyone having fun yet still competitive.
Um, actually, Gelatinous Cube is from the "original edition"" of D&D, also called "0E," specifically from the Greyhawk supplement in 1975. "First edition" refers to the AD&D books produced a few years later. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editions_of_Dungeons_%26_Dragons
"Star Trek needs dragons."
Me: Spock saw a dragon on Berengaria Seven!
Thank you Amy sooooo much for saying snicker-snack so quickly
That “and Peggy” comment at the end just killed me. Homeboy’s got too many killer references.
It’s a bit strange to see Amy not absolutely losing her mind on breaking news
Fun fact: Fyffe (füf-feh) is Finnish slang for cash.
Edit: The Finnish in Muumilaakso map being called "gibberish" was just hurtful.
This is lowkey the best game show on youtube
Um Actually, its the best game show overall in my opinion XD
It deserves more subs!
Is there big competition? Only other i can remember is Toms scotts Disconected.
Big sad college humor died and they are just uploading all the stuff from their streaming app so there will be no more of this after they burn through the content
@@tomasspace4819 Hank Green had a very innovative TH-cam Game show years ago called Truth or Fail, but it hasn't been made in ages
Was that a Hamilton reference at the end there? "and Peggy"
Emma fyffe seemed to know more answers but Amy was real good at guessing the ones she didn't know and was super fast at the draw
Glabagool, the sentient gelatinous cube, is from the 5e adventure Out of the Abyss. Glabagool has become sentient because of the growing influence of the Demon prince of oozes. He is also a fan favorite for every group I've seen that's run it.
I feel like each question needs to be worth two points. one for identifying the wrong thing, and another for knowing the right thing
Did the contestants get seated that way due to ascending boot height?
Not shown, Trapp with the thigh highs!
Fun fact: in the “Deckmaster” icon on the back of MtG cards is a little purple squiggle that was accidentally printed in the first run of cards, but due to the fact that if they removed the squiggle, it would effectively mark the cards, and so that squiggle is present to this day
Their outfits are so goddamn cool. Amy's top is so cute, and what a fun color, it reminds me if like the 70s were good
This is such a great episode, their energy matches so well!!
Not really an “um actually” but the gelatinous cube named Glabbagool is from the module Out of the Abyss. He gains sentience when Juiblex is released into the underdark.
We just met glabbagool! Hes such a good boy. We gave him a glowing sword
@@VaellinTheBard that’s awesome!! He’s helpful later on..... (no spoilers!) My players killed him the moment they saw him. 😞
I’m so glad someone else knew this (I’m currently running OOTA)
@@jimneville5774 right?? My party is wrapping it up. We’ve been playing for almost 2 years
@@Blond_Wonder OH NO! POOR GLABBAGOOL!
Bro, I screamed when I saw the muumin map, it is my childhood and I was proud of myself because for once I was able to read finish lmao (it’s my first language).
When they both came up with the same name it was definitely a "did we just become best friends" moment.
Um Actually, The Moomins are from Finland, which is not part of Scandinavia, which only consists of Norway, Sweden and Denmark
And Iceland
Thats a debated topic and depends more on political circumstance, but Yeah, Sweden Denmark, Norway hav always been scandinavian
Isn't it swedish
@@andreassundby7497 Nope, although the author spoke Swedish and wrote the stories in Swedish, she was in fact Finnish (technically also Russian for the early part of her life, until Finnish independence)
@@quintenvandalen8197 iceland, like finland, is a nordic country, not scandinavian.
DID MIKE TRAPP FORGET THAT COLLEGEHUMOR LITERALLY MADE A VIDEO ABOUT DECIDING BETWEEN HOGWARTS AND SUNY PLATSBERG??? (Old collegehumor, with Jake and Amir and Sarah, back when they were in NY)
"you liked pepsi so maybe you like moomin trolls" Funny thing is that here in Finland we DO have Moomin soda.
Part of reason nightcrawler had a "loud" sound effect is because it was supposed to represent an explosion. This is especially apparent when you consider it smells like sulfur (also because he's opening a path through a hell dimension (technically he's half demon/devil, not really a mutant))
Um actually, this was a pretty good episode so I don't have anything to say
Uhm actually, the "Deck Master" tag at the bottom of the cards was supposed to have a purpose; head designer Mark Rosewater explains in a 2009 article*:
"The original idea when Wizards created Magic was that they would produce a whole bunch of different trading card games (TCGs). To identify Wizards of the Coast TCGs they came up with a brand they planned to put on the back of each Wizards TCG. Deckmaster was that brand. It was, in fact, used on numerous TCGs, such as Jyhad (later Vampire: The Eternal Struggle) and Netrunner. In the end, the branding never quite caught on and Wizards stop using it on their TCGs. So why is it still there? Because we wanted the back of every Magic card to look the same and thus were unwilling to change the back."
So in a way it's a vestigial feature of the Magic card back these days.

I'm surprised no one was familiar with the onomatopoeia BAMF. I hear it used all the time in tabletop gaming. It's used as a verb to mean teleport or suddenly appear: "I cast teleport and we're all gonna just BAMF into the castle."
Petition for a shiny question that's famous fantasy maps in the style of other famous fantasy novel maps
Most "Um, Actually" episodes:
Buncha Dudes: "Errr, I think, maybe he WASN'T an orc? No? I pulled that out of my ass anyway."
These ladies "...FIRST Edition, ten feet, THAT WAS FRANK HERBERT"
They DOMINATED.
In education classes in college, they told us that if we wanted a quick answer, to call on a boy, and then when we wanted the correct answer to call on a girl. It was a little tongue-in-cheek, but based in the general lack of anxiety seen in male students, who didn't mind being wrong in front of others as much as they may want to participate. Once the pressure is relieved, the female students would generally not be as worried about sharing their own thoughts.
It's a massive generalization, and it may not be relevant here, but you did remind me of it.
Not really though. They guessed a lot, like the mtg and Akira questions. It was like most episodes imo, they were really knowledgeable about some things, and guessed jokingly through the ones they didn't.
The episodes where I've seen dominance are probably Brennan just sweeping the floor with everyone.
@@TheSquirrelbeast They guessed a little. With a couple of exceptions among past guests, all of them had pretty deeper knowledge about a range of fandoms than most episodes show.
There was, what, only one question that he had to give the answer too? And the combined score is higher than most episodes.
@@johnbradley1139 They were grest guests. But many answers were prefaced by things like "So, I've never seen Sailor Moon and know nothing about anime but..." and then they guessed either by luck or logic. Of course they were really knowledgeable about some things but I wouldnt go ALL CAPS DOMINATION.
In the end, this show is all about having fun and they all seem to have had a great time.
I believe BAMF is usually interpreted as being the same sound as the flash powder used with old-timey cameras.
Um actually, as a Finn I love that Amy thought the moomin valley map was in any shape or form related to the shogun or the samurai overall 😅
Um, actually the banter in this girl group make me so happy! So everyone here wins
I love Gwent for the reason that they are talking about hearthstone. Both are awesome. Gwent is also free to play online so highly recommend it.
Trapp can fit into any group dynamic so seamlessly
Fans: "You know, Asian women don't really ever say or do anything in these books."
JKR: "Um, actually, I never actually said that Hermione Granger wasn't an Asian woman, and that is canon now, so there is actually a lot of representation."
Um Actually. JKR is a piece of shit, but her comments regarding Hermiones race were always in defence of an actress being attack by trolls for the colour of her skin. And never meant to retcom Hermiones race, only offer up the freedom of interpretation to the reader if they so choose.
Have at her for her arsehole views on sexual and gender minorities. But the black Hermione thing was a nothing burger drummed up over one of her few good actions on social media.
Fun fact: In the play She Kills Monsters by Qui Nguyen there's a character who appears as a gelatinous cube and his name is Miles.
The SKM shoutout yes! Ty I’m not the only person whose gelatinous cube associations comes from SKM instead of dnd directly 😅
Um actually... Sailor Venus, Moon and Pluto do not carry elemental powers. Venus is power of love, Moon is power of heart and Pluto is power of time...
Um actually, Tetsuo doesn't become a giant amorphous fleasy mass, he becomes a giant flesh fetus
Go back and watch A New Hope. When the Falcon gets pulled into the Death Star, look how wide that trench is. It’s massive and makes the Falcon look tiny. That is the meridian trench. Then look how wide the trench is when Luke does his run to blow the Death Star up, it’s barely wide enough for 2 TIE fighters to fly side by side. The bombing run didn’t actually take place in the meridian trench
It wouldn't make sense anyway to have exhaust ports position where most of the ship traffic is going to be coming through
Um, actually, the thermal exhaust port wasn't the vulnerability that Galen Erso put in. He intentionally made the reactor unstable so that the Rebels would be able to find a way to blow it up, the exhaust port is just the method they chose.
Um actually the back of the MTG card also has a faint blue line that appears to be a misprint in the first printing.
I feel like I’ve seen this episode already, or there’s just been more Vorpal sword questions Amy was passionate about
I think they released a short form teaser of this episode a year or two ago.
Um actually, Amy doesn't need an X wing to get anyone in love
This isn't a correction, but rather an addition of knowledge:
The "Deckmaster" thing was an umbrella trademark that Wizards of the Coast was using for their various card games. They eventually dropped the concept, but the design for the card back on MtG was locked, so it's still there despite being effectively pointless now. The problem is, if they decided to drop it, it would narrow down, even slightly, what the card could or could not be to a player's opponent, assuming they weren't using protective card sleeves with opaque backs, which many players do.
Despite this, they, for some reason, decided that printing double-faced cards was an option, despite those being even more obvious. *shrugs*
Um, Actually the "Deckmaster" logo is leftover from when Wizards of the Coast was going to make different series of card games. Magic: the Gathering, Vampire: The Eternal Struggle, and BattleTech were all "Deckmaster" games
I instantly knew BAMF because of how much they use it on Critical Role
Having watched this show for more than 4 years, in my opinion, this is the best and funniest one yet (:
Omg these three women were amazing.
They’re all so confident and crack so many jokes it’s so good
Amy Vorpahl is just a treat.
Legitimately probably the best episode of this I've seen while binging all these. All three women here were delightful, charming, and funny (as opposed to trying to be funny)
I have seen so many comments where people piss all over trans women, fat women, black women, women who don't fit beauty standards that when I see a comment like this it just feels...fucking horrific. There are so.many men going "oh, this woman who fits beauty standards is delightful". I just.... fucking hate it. Not your fault, dunno nothing about you, but fuck men in general.
@@thedanespeaks Yeah there was nothing sinister about my comment. All three of these people, who happen to be women, were extremely entertaining and a delight to watch.
I was shocked that none of them knew the BAMF. In my opinion it's the most iconic onomatopoeia other than, like, POW.
Um Actually, most historians believe that it is very unlikely that Charles Dodgeson (Lewis Carroll's real name) did drugs. He was a quite conservative lecturer and academic at Oxford. He did, however, reportedly suffer from migraines which caused hallucinations. otherwise known as ....Alice in Wonderland syndrome
These 3 amazing women need to have a podcast together called Nerd Coven. They have the BEST chemistry!!
When Matt Mercer is on: Trap is chill and fine.
When three women are on: Trap is nervous as heck.
Great job, Trap. Sounding great up there.
What a good episode. As fun as it is watching people stumble through it, it's nice when all the contestants are killing it.
Plus this is the first episode i knew (or had a reasonable chance of knowing) most of the answers.
me during the intro: ha, Vorpahl like the sword in the jabberwalk
me when Jabberwalk question pops up: brain explodes
can y’all do a compilation of all the real life skills questions? i’m about to graduate college and could use the study guide.
