What if the word passed out was Face or Fame or another word that's only one letter away from fake. Then everyone who got a real card would have a moment of shock and they'd have to talk that out discreetly xD
A super fun thing to do in this game is in final round just give everyone a "fake" card and watch as they all exclaim "-yeeeees! I get it!" "-Oh you get it?! Yeeeeees!".
To be honest, in another iteration of Werewolf, I managed to do the same thing. At the end of a very intense game, four (of I think 16) people were left standing, only one of them a werewolf, but nobody was aware that the werewolf had a partner. That - was me. I was also the seer. In this iteration, you could be elected mayor, so in case of a draw the mayors vote was worth more than that of any other person. I had set everything up from the beginning of the game. I had signalled my partner which people to kill as a werewolf, I had my own little hive of people I had managed to inform that I was the seer, so they would protect me in the daytime (until I systematically fed them to the wolves, that is), and it all had come down to that one vote. Earlier I had my hive set up to elect one specific mayor, a simple villager, and now I only had to convince her that her last ally was actually a werewolf, so I retraced my steps, including how I had basically elected her because I knew she was innocent, so she believed me I was the seer. The look on her face when she realised that I was partnered with the werewolf, and that she had just killed them all, was priceless, but she never trusted me again in any game ever after. Fun times.
just gotta say thank you so much to whoever on the polygon team makes the captions. as someone with an auditory processing disorder, it makes enjoying these videos so much easier :D
Roman Hauksson-Neill In fairness, someone who needs captions might not have ever heard that theme, thus being unable to mentally conjure it from a memory they don’t have. Hearing ‘sad trombone music’, even if they don’t know what a trombone sounds like, tells them the mood of the music and thus the context of the intended comedy.
@@UltimateKyuubiFox Also, as someone who's from Europe, I just had to google what Curb Your Enthusiasm is, but I understood the comedic intention of the music perfectly fine.
It leads me to believe that the key to winning this game is drawing a 'reference' so obtuse everyone struggles to understand it until someone pretends/misinterprets it as valid, and then going to bat for anyone who gets accused of being fake
I was seeing the amphitheaters at SeaWorld where they keep dolphins... the bottom part was the depths of the tank, on top the stage and backdrop.. she absolutely had me there...
SPOILER FOR THE LAST GAME He drew the same thing twice because they used the same texture/model for clouds and bushes in the early Mario games, so he drew a cloud up high and a bush on the ground *mindblown*
@@Stowneyo Care to point out when Jeff says it? He says he'll explain when the round is over, and "look at the placement," shortly before, but can't seem to find him *literally* saying what OP did.
spruce bingsteen you obviously don’t know what literally means XD I for one found this explanation very helpful and I’m glad at least some people don’t gatekeep
Yes!!! They even marked it as "crying audience", and I'm like ??? No that was so perfectly subtle. It's the most subtle possibility for drawing clown makeup!
1) i kept thinking "i miss jeff!" bc i put on the polygon plays jackbox videos lately for background noise. yay! hi, jeff! 2) simone and jenna kill it every video with their fashions. jenna gives off the chaotic neutral of outfits vibe and simone looks like the pta mom who is about to kick another mom's ass into the sun. 3) brian and pat look great as always but thats not shocking. 4) HI KAREN ITS GREAT TO SEE A NEW FACE!!! hope you enjoy polygon! congrats on your new job! we're rooting for you! finally, simone referencing ancient greek claywork is such a damn mood.
Oh, this game reminds me of the game that I learned from a Chinese friend in grad school. He didn't know what the game would be called in English, so I have no name for it. But it was like this, except instead of drawing a line, you say a sentence about the thing on your paper. One person has a different word from everybody else on their paper but has to blend in. And because everyone has a word on their paper, nobody knows if they're the faker to start with. It's very fun, as long as whoever writes out the words doesn't pick completely dissimilar things to write.
There has been a depressing lack of Polygon's resident fashion icons on TH-cam lately. Brian looks good in the suit, but it's the same suit, mainly. Thank you, Polygon.
"I like to add an element of chaos to everything I do” is kind of the theme for everyone in this video, no? I love this series so much, and this was an awesome ep so thank you!!
watching overboard episodes makes me feel like i have friends lmao. your happy atmosphere penetrates our screens. so thanks for forty minutes of laughter and joy.
The whole time when it was Pat's turn for Dolphin I was just saying to myself, "Draw a gamecube. Draw a gamecube." I looked away to fill up my drink, and then I turned back and saw a gamecube and lost my mind.
I just noticed that in round 2 Jenna said “That specific car” and how that made it less suspicious, as if she knew what the car was from/ what the prompt was.
i really appreciated karen's "i think we should be doing something more interesting" and her and jenna just standing there with their arms around each other for a while. that was cute
As soon as I saw Jeff's second line on the last I knew he'd mistaken it for Mario and tried to draw a cloud and then a bush because they're the same shape in Mario Bros.
I was waiting for a round where all the cards had FAKE written on them and it was just chaos with a very random and vague category.
What if the word passed out was Face or Fame or another word that's only one letter away from fake. Then everyone who got a real card would have a moment of shock and they'd have to talk that out discreetly xD
One card is an actual card and the others all have fake cards
LET CHAOS INSUE
The category is just “animal”
I thought that was dolphin at 1st
A super fun thing to do in this game is in final round just give everyone a "fake" card and watch as they all exclaim "-yeeeees! I get it!" "-Oh you get it?! Yeeeeees!".
this is if you completely want to destroy everyone
let's do it
this is fucking brilliant omg
I’ve done that
You are a genius
That's almost as insane as making everyone innocent in ttt
This is how all Brian's friends got so good at painting sad clowns
Or jazzy-fellas
“I appreciate us six adults being undone by circles.”

"Watch our One-Night Werewolf episode to see Brian completely destroy Simone's ability to trust!" had me dying

16:27
"There we go! You guys get it!"
TheGnarlyToaster a cheesy joke
Look, just give everyone but one person a FAKE card and watch the acting unfold.
like ttt without traitors
why not just everyone? can you imagine?)
@@potmki6601 Because that one persons distress would be awesome and it wold prevent circles everywhere.
Accidentally did this in Spyfall (similar game but with talking). It was funny, but didn't last long because in that game you can accuse at any time.

It’s so on brand
I thought it was a dolphin crab.
And I don't even know if a dolphin crab is a thing
i got that it was a greek vase, but had no clue how it related to the prompt
Pat's jump-spin j'accuse is the best professional wrestling finisher of 2019
"The famous dolphin vases from Ancient Greece"....ashdf osajfd ;ksajf of course. those ones
Same lol. I immediately thought, "This is the most Simone thing to ever guessed"
I thought it was a bottle...like a bottle nosed dolphin 😂😂
Ryena P.
I thought it was a shark
i legitimately thought it was the alien queen from echo the dolphin
I was seeing the amphitheaters at SeaWorld where they keep dolphins... the bottom part was the depths of the tank, on top the stage and backdrop.. she absolutely had me there...
Brian's expression of absolute panic and his subsequent improvisation at the "No words" rule were so priceless !! Thank you for these vids pals !
“I like to add an element of chaos to everything I do” 😂😂

Also, the GameCube drawing was genius
spruce bingsteen you obviously don’t know what literally means XD

and the mistery is why nobody realised he was the fake artist, it was a known reference for marios bros but has nothing to do it waluigi
"You earned that booty wiggle!" Jenna's support of Simone's perfectly played round was friendship in its truest form.
I feel like simones sad clown tear was underappreciated
she got a booty wiggle :0
Yes!!! They even marked it as "crying audience", and I'm like ??? No that was so perfectly subtle. It's the most subtle possibility for drawing clown makeup!
I was thinking Tears of a Clown and thought it was brilliant
It's surely Pagliacci and the doctor, right?
I still fondly remember the _"That's Despicable. Me?"_ moment *:)*
Paradox Acres That was SO fantastic!!
@@norge0209 It was. Definitely the most memorable moment of that video/episode *:)*
Paradox Acres idk what you mean I think about Brian gaslighting everyone and then winking every goddamn day
Simone: "No that makes sense. I see you Jeff. I respect you"
*Jeff is revealed as the obvious faker*
Simone: *LOSES ALL RESPECT FOR JEFF*
Brian ‘roux’ joke is under appreciated
Wasn't that Karen's joke
Linzei E. Nah she meant it like a “ruse” and Brian repeated it to mean “roux”.
simone appreciated it lol
16:07
1) i kept thinking "i miss jeff!" bc i put on the polygon plays jackbox videos lately for background noise. yay! hi, jeff!

finally, simone referencing ancient greek claywork is such a damn mood.
Literally same.
Brian is the best artist. Yet he can't think of anything to draw.
Simone knows what to draw but it's so dang obscure.

Is that what Pat thinks motorcycles look like?
I thought it was supposed to be a machine gun.
I had no idea that was a motorcycle until they said it.

If you like knowing the hidden role before it's revealed
Round 1: Brian
Round 2: Jenna
Round 3: Jeff
Round 4: Karen
Round 5: Jenna
Round 6: Jeff
Pat's contributions are always such a gift
that fake-letting-go-with-the-pen with the tiny circle in round 2 was genius
"I like to add an element of chaos to everything I do” is kind of the theme for everyone in this video, no?
I love this series so much, and this was an awesome ep so thank you!!
This is basically a mix between Pictionary and mafia, and it’s great
I was waiting for someone to draw a GameCube, and Pat did not disappoint

“See you in hell Simone I WAS THE FAKE” I didn’t hear that the first time 😂
ooohhh pagliacci. i just thought karen was calling rorshach a clown and i was like hell yeah
Deadname Deadnameson lol same tbh 😂
I went digging in the comments for someone who appreciates that as much as I did. Spot on!
i saw it as a reference to the comedian...but yeah, makes sense
Similar to Arlechino, the servant clown sometimes to two masters
at 36:30 i asked aloud, "waluigi is trapped inside a bell jar? does waluigi have depression?"
Waluigi and Sylvia Plath jokes are the best niche
My favorite part of these videos is just watching the Polygon team have fun together.
Pat drawing a gamecube is exactly what I would've done for Dolphin, I'm so proud.
I have giant crushes on both Brian and Jenna and.... they're just.... so beautiful in this video
The whole time when it was Pat's turn for Dolphin I was just saying to myself, "Draw a gamecube. Draw a gamecube." I looked away to fill up my drink, and then I turned back and saw a gamecube and lost my mind.
i love pat in polygon videos!!!! please more pat!!!!!!
You guys should make a shirt that say “The Notorious BDG” and sell it as merch
I knew the first one was brian because he said absoultely nothing and kept staring into the camera or not being in frame
I just noticed that in round 2 Jenna said “That specific car” and how that made it less suspicious, as if she knew what the car was from/ what the prompt was.
Oh I've really missed Overboard and the other let's playing series, so this was a treat! And welcome Karen!!
The ace attorney reference after Pat's spin-around "wait a fuckin minute" killed me
I’m liking AND commenting, that’s how much I’m happy and engaged in the fact you’re continuing to produce this series!
I thought Brian's Mac and Cheese was a really bad Urkel, referencing his classic catchphrase "Got any cheese"
has simone always been 7 feet tall

@@charissadubin9355 id feel bad for the mom
bold of everyone in the replies to think that Simone was born
Commandrogyne she’s existed since the beginning of time that’s why she knows all of this history and ancient literature bullshit
Elizabeth Powell every inch is a century of her life that she has experienced
That crying Clown reference, I appreciate that a LOT, that was GENIUS
Seeing the explanation at the end of each round is amazing, how do they make so many references to random topics?!
30:08 Are we sure she just didn't draw Griffin McElroy??
I thought the same thing, hahaha
That perfectly cut big yoshi voice at the end
7:35: You can see Simone walking towards BDG with her arm in slapping stance, and the camera conveniently cuts before she reaches him.
imagine playing this and all your friends are from art school and know how to draw without lifting their pens
But how do you keep it obscure enough for the fake artist not to figure out?
Instead of lifting your hand you can make a time limit
Mood: pat dramatically huffing that expo, spinning around, and staring intensely at the board.
This series plus BDG=Reason I am subscribed
them calling each other “fake” for every small confusion is like kids calling people simps for having basic human decency
I 100% thought Brian was drawing Mac and Me
No, that movie is cursed
That would have been a great deep cut
I will say, Brian was very obvious on that first round but somehow managed to go completely unnoticed.
Yay overboard!!!! I've been waiting!
i am preparing
Did a big "YEEEEEESSSSSS" seeing this in the feed!

Karen is really cute/funny!! I love seeing new Polygon crew additions, hopefully she can be in more videos!! (also i want her jacket so bad omggg)
