Sam shortens Brennan's life expectancy by ten years
On top of the other ten years, caused by "Yes Or No?" and the birds quiz with measuring heartbeat, combined.
And Brennan can’t wait to haunt Sam from beyond the grave.
Pfft, Brennan has never been more alive!
Not to fifty!!!
Per episode.
“I don’t give a FUCK about birds” lied Brennan.
Calmly
i would have thought he'd mention the chinese fireback not the spoonbill, since that was the one he guessed pheasant correctly
That's Wennan Wee Wulligan speaking for him.
him saying that made me laugh so hard like buddy you were hooked up to a heart rate monitor we ALL saw it you don't get to say you didn't care lmfao
He likes birds a normal amount and mostly crows.
Oscar really twisting the knife on getting the second edition Lord of the Rings boxset
*chef's kiss*
And Ally laughing in the background is like putting cherry on top of the wound
@@ink8027 Laughing i think is an understatement. beardsley was fucking cackling at the sheer audacity of Oscar and loving all of it. kudos to OPscar for surviving.
Brennan has obviously read them before, which means Oscar needed them more.
Nice touch them being a second edition
Brennan saying "Oscar" in that warning tone tho
There IS a corner of his heart he wouldn’t turn over for a point, and it’s his belief in doing his best
Awww! That's the most wholesome comment on this whole thread (unfortunately that means it awards you no points)
Well, it’s not the corner of his heart. It’s asking for the middle
No, that was for five points. This was only three.
Also promoting NFTs
And defending billionaires
"if the goal goal of the game is to be middle, im gonna lose so fucking hard"
>brennan proceeds to win the game
Yeah, but he "won" with the least amount of points. I think, oddly enough he won the game both by his rules AND by Sam's. :)
but he tried his best the whole time. I’d see this as an absolute win if I was Brennan
@@boydstephensmithjr tbf, I earnestly suspect Oscar threw a little by giving away just enough points to allow Brennan to 'win' if he didn't wager any points (aka gets disqualified by wagering negative infinity) lol.
Idk the second place curveball makes me suspect normal playing strategies weren't fully thought through when they wagered points lol.
@@execrisiscoreonearth I think the players had figured out the second place thing before the wager came up.
@@execrisiscoreonearth In the GC BTS (previous seasons), Sam has revealed that sometimes they have to replace numbers on the podiums in post. In particular, to accommodate for cut content during the edit. So, they might have done something like that, too.
It is primarily entertainment, so strict adherence to a set of rules is prioritized far behind letting the audience enjoy a hammy performance from Brennan. :)
Brennan’s worst day at Gamechanger*
*so far
Yeah this is at least the 3rd "Brennan's worst day" we've seen
@@jimmy_the_squid9456yes and no and what else? the bjrds?
@@ser_igelthere was an entire game where brenan was unable to win. He won when he found out that he couldn't win.
@@amevlia that's yes and no :3
upd: or yes or no, i forgor
but basically yeah, he needed to say the rule of the game but only after everyone else did
@@amevliaIt was during an Adventuring Party or something that Sam revealed that Brennan guesses the rule pretty early on, and throughout the episode, but those were edited out. Truly, just giving him a bad time, and making him look bad too.
I love Ally's utter glee at Brennan's pain during the LOTR segment. I don't think I've ever heard someone losing their shit that hard.
it’s the pointing and laughing that does it for me. it is so younger sibling energy i love it.
"Oscar"
Also Brennan's face of stoic annoyance
That's a laugh that can only hapeen when delighting in the pain of a friend
@@MangoMotors Schadenfreude.
Ally's roar absolutely sent me into orbit
We’re all sleeping on the fact that Oscar said “I win this so easily!” when he found out you get points for being second and he was in the lead the whole game (points wise)
Unfortunately for him, winning means losing, because to win you had to be second place overall.
And the cherry on top is how they end up with a tie in first place, making Brennan second place and thus, the winner.
Doesn't that make him in 3rd place? When two ppl tie, they share rank, but take up the lower slots.
@@Dominic_Muller Don't bother trying. I tried to explain that to someone and they called me stupid.
@@Dominic_Mulleri guess but also the goal of the game wasn’t explicitly defined as being “mid” or being in second place. if it was the latter then in my opinion brennan wins because he did get second place in terms of points even if it is also last place.
this was a case where sam is the ‘game master’ here and decided to forgoe basically a semantic detail to make a better episode.
the other option would have been to have a coin toss or something between ally and oscar and make the loser of that the winner i guess. that would have been unsatisfactorily compared to what we got
@hahahaspam they tied for first, so shared second place in score. The win condition for the game is to attain second place, so both "win."
@@Dominic_Muller I get that's the rule, but it's arbitrary. There's no logical reason why they can't share first place, someone just decided that's the rule one day. And even if you're technically right, can't you just enjoy the comedy of the moment?
"Sorry about this Oscar- DANCE IS A SIN! DANCE IS A SIN!"
After losing out on the 1968 LOTR he was not sorry lol
Actually the best part of the episode. 😂
"Could've been Sauron!"
"I don't know who that is!"
Between this, Yes or No, and Cool as a Cucumber, Sam really is trying to kill Brennan
Ally HOWLING of laughter as oscar smears his victory in Brennan’s face makes me feel CRAZY
Uproariously.
i cannot lie, brennan losing the lord of the rings set genuinely made me really sad.
More so when you know how much that thing cost today
Oscars "Brennan NO!" has the energy of trying to get your dog to drop something in its mouth
I looove Beardsley dying of laughter at 4:00
Up to this episode I didnt quite get why Ally is such a fan favourite.
I get it now. They're pretty much a Disney villain. And Im here for it.
Ally’s joy in this episode is everything
Aly laughing maniacally in the background during the Lord of the rings part is the best part of this
The brought Brennan on this episode because they knew it would be entertaining. They brought Ally on this episode because they knew they would be entertained.
I will be honest, this episode actually epitomizes every job I have ever had. Doing your best often feels punished.
The same way Brennan was committed to trying his best, Beardsley was committed to not take this seriously and watch Sam's evil machination foil Brennan's efforts instead
Brennan Lee Mulligan looking directly into the camera and saying “Don’t give a fuck about birds.” Is the real Game Changer legacy.
I can only imagine how much joy Sam had when he realised that Oscar betting 3 points and Ally and Brennan betting 0 would move Brennan into second place therefore winning the game. A screenplay written in the stars.
“I’m gonna lose so fucking hard”
That aged, rather quickly, pretty poorly
"Dont give a fuck about birds"
Brennan we know that's a blatant lie
Ally absolutely losing it when she heard Oscar say, "I'm not a fan" was just about the best thing I've ever seen 😂😂😂😂
I feel like that last clip is in fact the closest Brennan has come to murder. It felt like he was warning Oscar that if he kept talking he would just snap.
"Gandalf? What's that?"
*MY BLOOD IS BOILING*
The Lord of the Rings thing was so cruel
Brennan doing those push-ups like a machine that turns almonds into push-ups.
Actually, as much as it hurts missing out on the second ed. boxset, Brennan is the kind of nerd that I feel loves it when people get into the same nerdy shit he's into.
Absolutely agree. Brennan loves teaching people about DND, and I’m sure he would be willfully to do the same for Oscar with LOTR. It’s just the fact that his fellow competitors rubbed the fact he got the answer RIGHT, in his face, that might have made him feel a bit too angry to offer that kind of support.
Ally's insane howling at the Lord of the Rings shenanigans just made my day so much better.
"Gandalf, what is that?" is my new catchphrase, I think. Lol
The fucking balls on Oscar to stare right at Brennan and say "Gandalf? What's that?"
When Oscar won the books and had never even read or seen LotR, you could _feel_ Brennan's scathing rage, especially with how he should normally have won that!
This game was masterfully made to spite Brennan.
I keep coming back just to watch Ally lose their shit at the end. This really did kill a piece of Brennan’s soul
I'm surprised no one is talking about how Brennan once ate pie so hard he broke a tooth
In the BTS he talks about how it was actually a regular eating contest - which he has talked about before. (I believe it’s the reason he needed dental surgery, the full story of which is on TH-cam in a video that calls it his emotional roller coaster.)
At least Oscar wasn’t talking about how excited he was about the whole series with Dumbledore.
Gandalf, what's that?
aaaah but the best part is the ending, where they realize he won anyway, despite actively trying not to and he's like "what's happening is wrong"
This was the perfect casting. It’s no secret that this episode was always gonna be about Brennan. But Oscar being a mellow guy who is competent, and doesn’t care too much, set up a perfect rival to Brennan as he was *much* better positioned to win than him, and Ally, who, let’s be honest amongst those of us who’ve watched Total Forgiveness, is by far the least merciful member of the cast (to the point of cruelty tbh - most people couldn’t do to a coworker and friend what Ally did to Grant), who would be absolutely pushing every single button Brennan had
This made it so that Brennan had no chance of finding peace, with the ordinarily-mellow Oscar at the lead and the merciless Ally at his heels.
The book choice, a valuable piece of nerd trivia, was also meant to entice Brennan - who of course would already know its approximate value and lose.
Finally, and this is the most genius part: There was no universe in which Brennan came out satisfied at the end. He was clearly unsatisfied by winning in 2nd, he would have been even worse off in 3rd, but losing in 1st, would have been absolutely devastating.
Sam, you Machiavellian genius, you played Brennan like he’s never been played before.
"Kids, stay in school"
Sir this streaming service is called Dropout
0:48 “If the goal of the game is to be middle…” well, look where I am already located.
Love the fact that they got the second edition for a game where you have to come in second place to win.
Sam: The goal of the game is to be middle.
Brennan: I will loose so hard you won't believe it.
Also Brennan: Proceeds to try his best on half of the rounds.
Somehow also Brennan: Still wins???
that was the point i think - im pretty sure that he caught on that the winner of the episode would be the person who got the middle amount of points, so he decided to lose on half and win on the other half. and in doing so corrupted his own soul
Ally: Omg I'm obsessed.
Brennan: OMG I'M UPSET
Ally falling down in utter joy as Oscar pokes the balrog that is Brennan over the LOTR boxset was my favorite part.
Brennan struggling with the concept of "best" not always translating to the most effort lol
If Sam didn’t buy Brennan his own LOTR 2nd edition box set I will Ben genuinely kind of upset. That is just evil.
The roseate spoonbill lives rent free in Brennan’s head
I love Oscar’s “BRENNAN NO!” Like he’s scolding a child
The fact Brennan was able to get within $2 for the LOTR set is honestly the craziest part
Ally DYING laughing at the end is so funny
This was such a brilliant episode. Its one thing to tell Brennan he simply can't win. To force him to choose between winning and his ideals is simply evil, and fantastically so
every game changer, brennan gets tortured by sam, whether he's there or not.
That last bit... That's pain
The best part is that his compulsion to win ends up coming out on top
"The roseate spoonbill didn't get to me at all."
My brother in christ, you still remember the name of the bird.
When winning doesn't mean doing your best.
fun fact, Oscar never made it home that night. We've been unable to reach Brennan Lee Mulligan for questioning
It’s gotta be awesome to be on a show with Brennan, though. He takes it’s all in stride so well and takes so much pressure off the other cast members to be funny because he basically sets it all up for them. What a legend.
Ally’s guttural laughing at the LOTR box set result cured my anxiety
"Gandalf, what's that?"
I never had a taste of Tolkien,
I never had a drop of Bilbo.
Ah!
I never had a taste of Tolkien,
I never had a drop of Gimli.
Ah!
I never had a taste of Tolkien,
I never had a drop of Gandalf, what's that?
Gandalf, what's that?
Gandalf, what's that? What's that?
The real head fuck of this ep is coming 2nd in every task would give you the most points, putting you in first and therefore not winning the ep.
Anyone else notice Brennan was literally in the middle? >.>
His worst day was when he couldn't win a single point. He has said in the past he doesn't mind not winning, he just doesn't like losing. And since this technically wasn't a loss it wasn't as bad as never winning
I really hope Oscar was a bro and gave Brennan the books after the camera stopped rolling 😂
“Don’t give a fuck about birds” I’ve never heard more denial leave that man’s mouth before or since
Brennan consistently proving that there is no greater motivation than pure spite.
If he's getting tortured, he's taking it as well as Picard and the four lights.
Brennan was about to kill Oscar on the LOTR gloat hahahahah
It would have been funnier if he had said "Dumbledore? That's a wizard, I'm pretty sure."
I think the funniest part of this whole thing was Sam made sure Oscar and Ally were tied in points at the end of the game making Brennan 2nd place, which by the rules of the game means he won because he was 2nd.
I don't think it was Sam, though, I think it was Oscar.
ALLY LOOKS SO GOOOOOD OMG literally goals
brennan immediately trying to kick someone else's balloon is iconic
At some point Brennan will need to admit (at least to himself) that the roseate spoonbill did indeed get to him. 😅
Brennan is still not over Yes or No! I will never forget that episode and neither will he.
It’s a 2nd edition box set of LOTR, and they put the second book first.
Ally was the absolute best choice to be with Brennan for this episode. The way they antagonize Brennan the whole time makes it so much funnier 😂
In this episode Brennan demonstrates what toxic positivity looks like.
The Fury coming off Brennan the whole time is priceless.
So well cast: the most competitive person, the least competitive person, and an agent of chaos.
My first thought was it’s another game of Brennan can’t win
And yet...
Ally's look in this episode is *chefs kiss*.
Me reading the title:
"So just another Thursday then?"
The fact that Brennan was the only carryover from College Humor to Dropout makes this so much funnier
Worst Day YET 😆
(For real though - I didn't think a game could get worse for Brennan than Yes or No 🤣 )
Ally at the end is so fucking relatable lmfaooo 100% exactly how I'd react to a friend being tortured this way
The way he calls out both "Yes/No" and the roseate spoonbill BY NAME, like he's bearing witness to Sam's devilry XD
when the character gets so much trauma they become an amazing person
"In the real world, I would be in first place. Great."
Brennan was later able to stomach aiming for 2nd because he figured out he could be the best at playing the others and manipulating them
The way Brenna said Oscar's name at the end 😂
It’s is said that the Brennan’s heartbeat grew 25 BPM that day.
A bad day for sure, but the worst? Have you forgotten the "I CANNOT WIN" Speech?
i think the lotr box was designed for bren in particular
Beennan just constantly acting like the most devout christian thos episode had me dying man
3:20
"Winning makes me feel really sad"
.. that's the thing Brennan.. You're not even winning!!
I know when it was Sam decided to be Brennan’s nemesis. It was the lie detector episode where Brennan screams “YOU’RE NOT GOD THE MACHINE IS”
I'd wish they'd upload those episodes in full to youtube.. instead of their own "pay to watch" website..
