There was a quiz like that in the UK, called the Bubble. 3 Comedians would be put in a 'bubble' retreat. Basically a nice cottage, but no internet or phones or method of finding out what had happened, for a week. Then they would be taken to the studio and answer a quiz on the new of that week, trying to work out what things were real and what things were made up.
Adam during the Blorbo/Scrimblo/Scrungly conversation looks like he's about 30 seconds away from just switching off his own strong nuclear force and vaporizing.
@@FridgeEating No, in this case this is just the bonds that keep your constituent atoms from flying off in every direction. The mass is still there, its just not held together. It'd be like the Thanos Snap more than a bomb.
Cam's answer at 11:09 isn't so crazy! The one in NYC was moved to Philly and the first iteration of the project was connecting Lublin in Poland and Vilnius (where the designers come from, and likely what Cam thought of with Riga) in 2021. So even though he didn't pick a valid pair, he was not far off! #JusticeForNewWarpSpiderModels
Upon further thought, I would accept the argument that the Lublin and Vilnius locations weren't opened in 2024 and therefore shouldn't count (not made explicit by the question but rather implicitly by the conceit of the quiz concept), but at least the Philly one was also opened in 2024, and the question heavily implied there were only two portals total. And yes i'm definitely overthinking this
My Dad was a Triathlete when I was a kid. Got dragged to multiple competitions every year. I can confirm that barfing, when done the race, was VERY common. Also, I can envision Jordan just cackling like mad when they created some of these questions.
"Quick, name any character in Concord!" I almost woke up my family laughing so hard I have seen so much about that game's monumental downfall and I CANNOT think of a SINGLE name
I got absolutely destroyed the first time they went to the full teams view and Cameron's team name is "New Warp Spider Models". A man after my own heart.
Fun fact about Luigi (4:40) - he was a robotics kid. Our team most likely interacted with him personally at some point. There was a photo floating around with his team number, looked it up and we were paired with that team number for matches like 10-11 years ago at this point.
God I love the dichotomy that is Cameron. "definite article has gone underappreciated for too long and the Oxford English Dictionary wasn't going to stand for it." "They value precision" (Same breath) "You can stand on THIS Snut."
"Comedian" (the art piece) consisted of a roll of duct tape, a (newly purchased) banana, instructions for installation, and a certificate of authenticity.
Yesss So glad to see this. Love these episodes. The anticipation was palpable. Literally a few hours before this episode came out, I was checking your channel for exactly this episode.
If anyone from the quiz wants to know; you had the right idea picking games like Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail for making the most money. They did; however they are *not* on Steam. The MiHoYo (dev name) games have their own shared launcher for PC and are their own separate downloads on mobile.
4:08 Philly has it now and is connected to a rotation of several cities. Most weirdly of this it’s gone fine. Philly hasn’t done anything to get it shut down, much to the shock of everyone living in Philly.
I absolutely love these quizzes you do. I especially enjoy the chemistry of teams that we normally do not see together that much, especially Beej and Adam!
11:40 lol New York got their shit rocked in that exchange. Makes sense that the American side did the most predictable thing and the Irish side did the most creatively devastating.
The best thing about Canada winning breaking was in the final match it was Canada and France and they were acting like the best friends in the world They were having so much fun, they were joking with eachother and smiling the whole time it was fantastic A real two best friends time
Ummm... I love this video, but am I the only person who noticed the sound quality issues with Graham? It's a crime against his smooth buttery voice! lol
Benny Hill did the Boeing/Boing! joke decades ago. I am about 1.5 kilometers from the airport that happened at. Fortunately, it wasn't a commuter turboprop. Those fly over my house on departure.
Regarding the Roblox question, I never bothered to find out if that research group named itself after that airship that crashed and burned, killing all on board; or the second worst leader of a German State in the 20th century.
Kathleen no matter if youre a blorbo or not, 8 or so years ago before I knew I was trans or even knew what being trans was I saw a comment saying that you were "transition goals" and I just felt myself agreeing with it even though I was """definitiley still cis""". So youre a big part of my trans journey :) thank you
I’m so pumped for this every year, so happy to see it back!!! Also I love having 4 teams instead of 3! This is gonna be great Also also no Graham, bad Segway lol…
The controversy about the olympic opening ceremony was a bit more complex (but no less stupid) : the scene started with a shot that looked like The Last Supper (with lgbt people), and idiots were upset; then more lgbt people arrived in the scene (which stopped looking like The Last Supper), and idiots were upset; and then an almost naked Dyonisus appeared in that same scene, and idiots were upset. Also Beej, we had that controversy in Europe too, unfortunately
so i see this a lot in North American content. UK lemonade is a clear lemon flavoured carbonated beverage. It is NOT Sprite / 7Up which are Lemon and lime flavoured.
I feel like now we just need an entire show where somebody tells Adam about wild shit that happened over the course of the year
Would actually enjoy 'Catchin' Up with Adam's as a weekly thing.
I'd like specifically Jordynne to host (a repeat of that one Let's Nope!) The most terminally online (complimentary) LRR member and the least
God I'd love that so much. Adam's incredulity at half the stuff he heard is amazing.

Adam during the Blorbo/Scrimblo/Scrungly conversation looks like he's about 30 seconds away from just switching off his own strong nuclear force and vaporizing.
You'd think 10 straight days with Beej would've steeled him but here we are
By vaporize I assume you mean Victoria, British Columbia? Wouldn't that be like a 99% conversion of mass to energy?
@@FridgeEating No, in this case this is just the bonds that keep your constituent atoms from flying off in every direction. The mass is still there, its just not held together. It'd be like the Thanos Snap more than a bomb.
Cam: " 'Boeing' is an onomatopoeia."
Also Cam: "But if you're wide and fatal ..." [mimes 'Call me']
Exceptional audio quality throughout. Crazy how Graham's voice and the reflection of Graham's voice were always saying the exact same words!
Graham using the Sports section to rant about misinformation from the Olympics was hilarious and fascinating!
Good for him. Misinformation is a dangerous thing.
I LOVE that Adam is there to be my self insert into a quiz show
Would you say that he is your Blorbo?
Cam's answer at 11:09 isn't so crazy!

@@Hax0l0tl-Sam I was definitely also thinking I remember one being in PA, I just couldn't remember if it was Pitt or Philly
I need a supercut of every time Adam was completely surprised, ending with the one he actually knew
My Dad was a Triathlete when I was a kid. Got dragged to multiple competitions every year. I can confirm that barfing, when done the race, was VERY common.
Also, I can envision Jordan just cackling like mad when they created some of these questions.
I have looked forward to these every year since the 2022 big kid quiz, this is going to be a good day!
I love that they're doing fun parodies of British panel shows. Just is cosy humor.
@@OctopusOwl I wouldn't even call it a parody; it's literally just their own version of it. Which is awesome.
Also Kathleen going "I LIVE with Graham!" when serge was questioning an answer she wrote during the olympics section sent me 😂
There are many contenders but "a poor triathlete blames the river" is my favorite joke in this whole show
"Quick, name any character in Concord!"
I almost woke up my family laughing so hard
I have seen so much about that game's monumental downfall and I CANNOT think of a SINGLE name
I would have argued that I get points if I could relatively describe one of the characters.
"Doors CLOSE. That's a hole." Ian with the insight and practical grounding we all need in these trying times.
I got absolutely destroyed the first time they went to the full teams view and Cameron's team name is "New Warp Spider Models". A man after my own heart.
A true man of the people
LRR have been my blorbos for almost ten years ♥️ y'all are wonderful.
28:53 'It's one banana, Michael. What could it cost?'
$6.2 mil
@@NStripleseven That explains how there's always money in bananas
God i wish i was as terminally offline as adam
Fun fact about Luigi (4:40) - he was a robotics kid. Our team most likely interacted with him personally at some point. There was a photo floating around with his team number, looked it up and we were paired with that team number for matches like 10-11 years ago at this point.
Big Mid Quiz is always a treasure and watching Adam slowly uncover the depths mankind has sunk to in the previous 365 days will never not be funny.
God I love the dichotomy that is Cameron.
"definite article has gone underappreciated for too long and the Oxford English Dictionary wasn't going to stand for it." "They value precision"
(Same breath)
"You can stand on THIS Snut."
Note, -ade is used for carbonated drinks in the uk so lemonade is fizzy lemon squash, cherryade is fizzy cherry flavour drink etc.
Adam's hair is so gooood.
The man looks more and more like a model, it's insane
Right?!‽
Adam killed me multiple times during this. I love these every year.
this is one of my favorite things every year
"Comedian" (the art piece) consisted of a roll of duct tape, a (newly purchased) banana, instructions for installation, and a certificate of authenticity.
I'm still 85% certain that was money laundering with theatrics
@@brendaneichler5244 That's a lot of art tbh.
Yesss
So glad to see this. Love these episodes. The anticipation was palpable. Literally a few hours before this episode came out, I was checking your channel for exactly this episode.
Addressing the Blorbo inquiry- Blorbo can in fact refer to an oc, provided they meet the other requirements of blorbiture.
adams reactions are sending me
So happy to see the return of the Quig Bid Miz. (Seems like there might have been some issues with Graham's mike this time?)
If anyone from the quiz wants to know; you had the right idea picking games like Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail for making the most money. They did; however they are *not* on Steam. The MiHoYo (dev name) games have their own shared launcher for PC and are their own separate downloads on mobile.
They *are* very funny Wicked references, thank you Graham
4:08 Philly has it now and is connected to a rotation of several cities. Most weirdly of this it’s gone fine. Philly hasn’t done anything to get it shut down, much to the shock of everyone living in Philly.
I like the fortress that team Skapocalypse Now built out of their cards as the quiz went on
They do have synchronized horses: Dressage Pas De Deux. But it is not in the Olympics...yet.
@49:12 I'd like to thank F.D. Signifier as the only reason I knew the answer to this question.
Beej and Adam are always so fun together!
I absolutely love these quizzes you do. I especially enjoy the chemistry of teams that we normally do not see together that much, especially Beej and Adam!
11:40 lol New York got their shit rocked in that exchange. Makes sense that the American side did the most predictable thing and the Irish side did the most creatively devastating.
If anyone was going to think of something like that in the moment it was going to be Ireland
This reminds me that I need to check out the breaking and kayak cross events from last year’s Olympics.
The best thing about Canada winning breaking was in the final match it was Canada and France and they were acting like the best friends in the world
They were having so much fun, they were joking with eachother and smiling the whole time it was fantastic
A real two best friends time
Adam's facial expressions throughout were the highlight
Ummm... I love this video, but am I the only person who noticed the sound quality issues with Graham? It's a crime against his smooth buttery voice! lol
I think they have him sent to projecting into the room as opposed to recording direct, so we get that hollow room sound
I literally watched last year's video a few hours ago, hoping this year's quiz would be a thing! What a great way to end a Monday🥳🎉
Sprite is _not_ lemonade, neither is 7up! They’re similar, but they’re lemon _and_ lime flavoured. Lemonade does not have lime flavouring.
this, so much this. Americans just dont understand
YES. LRR's best work: panel shows!
I'm glad they gave Graham a flange filter as a reference to the original version of Ballad of the Fanboy.
I love that Adam's "massive lats" guess would have been correct if applied to the rugby player on dwts this season. She was magnificent.
One of my favourite pieces of content you put out! Love these every year!
Benny Hill did the Boeing/Boing! joke decades ago.
I am about 1.5 kilometers from the airport that happened at. Fortunately, it wasn't a commuter turboprop. Those fly over my house on departure.
Ben, you have always been my Blorbo
1:43:41 Did i miss something or did Cori and Cameron not get their point for Costco Guys?
27:47 They also didn’t get a point for their correct answer here, so they should also be tied for first.
Pretty sure both they and Bon Cop Bad Cop also missed out on points for the Kate Middleton question.
Justice for Cam and Cori!!!
I love that Serge is still asking questions of his partner
Regarding the Roblox question, I never bothered to find out if that research group named itself after that airship that crashed and burned, killing all on board; or the second worst leader of a German State in the 20th century.
Since the airship was in fact named after the second worst leader of a German state in the 20th century, the answer is "yes".
Serge was not off by one, Beej wrote snut for the fake Concord question.
Jordynne is really killing it with that writing
Katy Perry: I kissed a girl. I will be taking no further questions.
the Triathlon Question picture was very telling, they are finishing and in running gear, which is over an hour after the swim
Always a treat to see Adam on these
I was waiting for this!! Love The Big Mid Quiz!
Petitioning for G to make these all 3 point questions so we can watch more people scrape for partial credit (and give Cam one for penmanship at least)
The puns in the questions are incredible 😂
I love Kathleen Lettermanning those cards.
Solid Big Quiz. Glad to see it return!
Heck yes!! New Big Mid Quiz!!
I got the Triathlon question right. I felt like an idiot when everyone revealed their answers, but I actually got it right.
I just want to say that the team names are perfect.
That feeling when this quiz makes you realize you're terminally online and need to reevaluate your priorities...
Love you LRR-folk!
Fantastic video!
The best reviewed games question should just be 3 sports games, no?
Kathleen intentionally mispronouncing 'chalamet' give me energy.
1:14:00 They're evergreen events, guys. 😂
You can tell me about Canadian things but I'll be cold in the grave before I listen to dance pop
Kathleen no matter if youre a blorbo or not, 8 or so years ago before I knew I was trans or even knew what being trans was I saw a comment saying that you were "transition goals" and I just felt myself agreeing with it even though I was """definitiley still cis""". So youre a big part of my trans journey :) thank you
Been thinking about this for the past couple of weeks!
Multiple questions regarding stuff from the UK that I have ZERO idea about as someone from the UK.
Kathleen's hair looks friggin' great!
I got the madame web question right only because i didn't think they would play borderlands at the dentist
I want to argue that themed popcorn buckets started with Dungeons and Dragons
I really enjoyed watching this
happy new year
my favorite scrimblo bimblos are Kathleen, Adam, Cameron and Ben
I'm 90% sure Cameron listen to the Trashfuture podcast
40:24 Can confirm. My dad (and mom) love Yellowstone and he is, in fact, someone's dad.
I need you to sit down because I gotta tell you something about your "mom".
I think Adam might be more chronically offline than Amanda from Smosh, if not at least tied lol
Adam, you're my favorite Blorbo now! ❤😂😂
9:42 based on their vibes I name Kathleen the Bon cop and Serge the Bad cop as per style
I’m so pumped for this every year, so happy to see it back!!!
Also I love having 4 teams instead of 3! This is gonna be great
Also also no Graham, bad Segway lol…
Surge's "i got carried" sent me
The constant struggle of Serge being of by 1.
One question has been haunting me since that night: Are hippos pork?
31:09
I know one of my favorite films of 2024, Emilia Perez made that list and I am so damn happy about that!!!
The controversy about the olympic opening ceremony was a bit more complex (but no less stupid) : the scene started with a shot that looked like The Last Supper (with lgbt people), and idiots were upset; then more lgbt people arrived in the scene (which stopped looking like The Last Supper), and idiots were upset; and then an almost naked Dyonisus appeared in that same scene, and idiots were upset.
Also Beej, we had that controversy in Europe too, unfortunately
Spurp it up!!
Protect Adam at all costs.
I'll take it a step further and say Adam is my Bias
Kendrick did write a song called heart pt. 6 (I guess not “the”) with his new album GNX!
so i see this a lot in North American content. UK lemonade is a clear lemon flavoured carbonated beverage. It is NOT Sprite / 7Up which are Lemon and lime flavoured.
Damn, just casually dropping Wood Rocket
I adore Corie's dwarf fortress shirt!
