"A human became a Pokemon? That has so many implications." Yes, yes it does. Canonically, in text from the games themselves, human and Pokemon are pretty much the same thing. There are stories of an age where they *were* the same, getting married, having children with each other, etc. At some point they split off from each other, but some Pokemon retain their human connections. Mostly ghost Pokemon, which are often (though not always!) formed from human souls, but also things like Kadabra, which canonically (according to the in-game Pokedex, at least) used to be a psychic human child that woke up one day transformed into a Pokemon, in a very Kafka-esque scenario.
The Pokédex isn't canonical information. They're mostly just old legends and misconceptions. A lot of the entries contradict what we KNOW to be true about the Pokémon universe (Cubone, for example) or just plain don't make sense.
@@benjamins9794 Me, too. I also have played Pokemon since like... 1998, 14 years before Game Theory existed 🤷♂️ Not sure why you decided to imply that I got the info from a TH-cam video when it's been public information since 2004.
25:35 I love how they accidentally give the point to Devon anyway, after he didn't say "um, actually", realize their mistake, and discretely switch it over to Tao while they're talking. I see you!
@@RabblesTheBinx my point was that they didn’t bring attention to it, the contestants, nor the host, said anything about it, is there a better word than discreet to use in this situation?
Not to mention they'd been super loose about that rule up to that point, I wasn't keeping track but I remember at least 4 other questions answered without the "um, actually" phrase
Um actually, the reason Fry is immune to the brainspawn is because the genetic mutation made him NOT produce the delta brain wave, which the brains were trying to suppress
Yep I can't believe that they missed that, and Devon even said it which would've been correct. Like both of those things had to go together- past nastification causing inability to produce delta brain wave. tsk tsk
the whole "Geralt of Rivia" trivia bit actually goes deeper and is honestly one of my favorite backstory twists ive seen in writing...As mentioned, Witchers make up fake knighthood titles to gain favor with potential employers BUT Geralt actually becomes knighted by the queen of Rivia (Meve) when he stumbles on them fighting a losing battle with Nilfgard for a bridge crossing...and since Geralt and his party had to cross they ended up winning the battle for Rivia and rewarded with knighthood. So he never lived there...made up the title...but eventually became a true knight and actually Geralt of Rivia
makes me wonder if Meve ever sits around and hears what Geralt of Rivia has been getting up to and thinking...huh thats the guy who i knighted for saving my life...
That was one of my favorite parts in the whole book series, and if you want to go even deeper it was implied (and maybe even explicitly said) to be revoked when their company abandoned The White Queen and her army a short while later.
I can’t wait for an Um, Actually of Um, Actually. Like a whole episode where the shelves are blank and Trapp asks them about show trivia. Winners, incorrect props, etc etc
Um actually, in Star vs. the Forces of Evil, in "Meteora's Lesson" and "Mama Star" it is very heavily suggested that mewmans are descended from mindwiped human pilgrims who traveled from Earth through the Realm of Magic.
I like how emphatic Trapp is when he's explaining how fucked up the pokemon world is, almost like he's been voicing a series about that exact topic for years.
The entire concept of Pokemon is fucked up when you think about it. Like in Reboot during the Pokemon parody when Bob says: "You keep creatures in cages, and release them just to fight?... That is sick!"
It's not even just the ghost types that are fucked up. Basically every mega evolution is in complete agony because of the changes to their body (several are burning and melting). Bewear often accidentally kill their trainers by hugging them and crushing their spines. Hatterene will fucking murder you if you are loud or have strong emotions. Oh and if Spoink ever stops bouncing it'll just go into cardiac arrest. It's pumping it's heart when it boucnes
Um Actually, Shuppet evolves into Banette so it can't be the reverse, however it remains the correct answer because Banette can Mega Evolve. Also Um Actually, Yamask now has a branched evolution depending on its regional variant, Galarian Yamask instead evolve into Runerigis The concept of Pokémon being born from humans isn't a new thing either; Kadabra's pokédex in Fire Red states that the first Kadabra manifested as a human with 'extrasensory powers', who woke up in bed one day transformed into a Kadabra
@@Shmeat Though I totally agree with the sentiment that it’s not really an evolution, the games use the term “Mega Evolution” to describe the mechanic.
Um, actually, Mega Evolution isn't technically an evolution, nor do regional form-exclusive evolutions (I.e. Alolan Vulpix to Alolan Ninetails, but NOT regular Pikachu to Alolan Raichu in Alola) count as branched evolutions. Mime, Jr. has a branched evolution in Galarian vs. Regular Mr. Mime, but Galarian Yamask cannot become Cofagrigus and regular Yamask can't become Runerigus, and it isn't considered a branched evo.
Um, actually in Starship Troopers there is a propaganda video that explicitly states "Service guarantees citizenship". This implies that there must be other, non-guaranteed ways to citizenship, and therefore service isn't the only way to become a citizen. And I totally nailed that zeroth law and it felt pretty good I ain't ashamed to say.
Yes, that question had so many things wrong one could've just said um, actually the entire question and been closer than some of the accepted guess answers.
@@michaelpetepiece4566 Not necessarily. That isn't a sound conclusion. It can also mean, and we know does mean, that citizenship is not guaranteed. Most earthlings aren't citizens of the Federation. Birth doesn't guarantee citizenship, like it does in most real world nations. Service to the Federation, I believe is the only way to acquire citizenship.
I think, specifically, he DOESN'T have a delta brainwave due to being his own grandfather (nasty in the pasty) and has in fact, cobbled something together from other waveforms to act as one?
Um actually, the regulations for what firewood you can gather from the environment vary a lot depending on where you are camping. Popular camping areas usually ban gathering wood on-site, but some national forests allow it, some private camping sites allow it, and places with high risk of wildfire usually ban campfires completely regardless of where the wood comes from. But the initial correction is also right, that you should never transport firewood, because it risks bringing along emerald ash borer, oak blight, and a bunch of other nastiness.
Um actually, Toffee was never one of Ludo's minions, but he did pose as a consultant to trick his minions and oust Ludo. Also Star and her species may be called Mewmans for the majority of the show, in season 4 it is revealed that Mewni was populated by humans that slipped through a Portal to the Realm of Magic and migrated to Mewni after losing their memories to the Realm of Magic's amnesia effects.
Um actually, Tao was correct in that you never visit Rivia in The Witcher trilogy. The only time we have seen it in games was during Thronebreaker where you do not play as Geralt. Additionally Geralt took "of Rivia" as a surname but it was made official when he helped Queen Meve during the Battle for the Bridge on Yaruga. She knighted him for his assistance and made him Geralt of Rivia proper.
And then he left, because he ain't fighting no damn wars for no damn monarchs. At least in that instance. But I see someone else has played Thronebreaker! Really liked the game, what did you think about it?
Ive never played The Witcher games, but does anyone ever call out Geralt on not being from Rivia? Like some one starts a conversation with him about a famous location, then reveals they just made it up, to call him out on a lie?
@@danielbretall2236 Don't think so. I played all three games and can't remember a scene like that. Then again, Rivia is pretty far away from the places you visit in the games, so it's not that surprising.
Um actually, inserting the 4th law of robotics as the "0th" law actually makes sense from a programming perspective. 0 is always the first value in data structures like Arrays, so provided we're talking about the Laws in context of how a program would interpret them, saying "0th" makes perfect sense.
Also, IIRC, the laws of robotics sort of stack so that each law cannot violate previous ones. So, whether you go 0-3 or 1-4, it's still an important distinction to say it goes at the front of the list.
But that doesn't stop it being the first law. The first entry in your array is at position 0 but it is not zeroth. It's also worth mentioning that the zeroth law is still the fourth law because it was conceived of fourth, even though its importance is first
I really like the answer format of "Um actually it's not X, it's Y" with point going to X unless someone can steal with Y. The person that gets Y is doing "Um actually" to answer X.
The King Kong one is a little tricky because his size changed dramatically throughout his various appearance. He was about as big as Godzilla when they appeared together but he started off at about 24 feet tall in his original appearance.
Yea. Both godzilla and king kong were shown different size depending on the movie. Probably they asked about that specific one but i find this line about Godzilla "In Godzilla (2014), Godzilla is 355 feet (108 meters) tall. In Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) and Godzilla vs. Kong (2021), his height is increased to 394 feet (120 meters) tall." Which is bigger than insectozaur. And similar king kong in some he is just 4-5 times bigger than gorilla and other he is over 100m i think
um actually... while "looking at its mask and cries" entry is correct for yamask, it looses that trait when it evolves. Cofagrigus's entries usually revolve around its love of eating gold and trapping human (more specifically grave robbers). its Pokemon sword entry even mentions "people say it no longer remembers that it was once human"
I expected the ghost pokemon one to be "Um actually bannette does technically have an evolution because it mega evolves" not to be referring to its pre-evolution
I can’t believe how much of a grip Mega Man music has on my brain that as soon as they played that theme I started dancing and got extremely sad when it stopped
I’ve never played the Witcher but when that question came up I was like “I bet he’s not from rivia. I know that’s what they call him… but I’ve watched enough um actually to know this is the sort of shit they pull” I’m proud of myself.
hilariously in the books he gets knighted by a queen after helping her in battle, and ends up officially becoming Geralt of Rivia by accident after calling himself that for years already!
Um actually, the Graboids were 30ft long while the original King Kong was 24ft tall. Yes, Kong was planned to be between 40-50ft tall, but when he was in New York the model scaled out to 24ft. Devon got all of the monster heights correct.
when he announced "legal limit" my first thought was identifying the names of fictional alcohols and matching them to the canon's they belong to. Then my next guess was matching characters to their ages (originally thinking legal drinking age joke, then legal adult age joke) and then I was disappointed at what it really meant
Just wanted to say that you guys should 100% continue to make these; people love them and this was an absolutely brilliant idea for a channel/game. Keep it coming with the goods! P.S. - Trapp 2024. Absolutely hilarious and has the perfect personality for a host. Keep it up!
Um, actually, the Mewmans are not all butterfly people. In fact they only become butterfly people when they go through "Mewberty," an uncontrollable process that begins with them growing hearts all over their bodies and either ends with them going completely back to normal after a set time period, or never going back to normal. After Mewberty is complete, the Mewman is left with a small set of wings. It is implied that Mewberty may only happen to girls, only to royalty, or only to princesses, although this is never confirmed.
Not an "um actually", but a fun side-note: the Dreepy / Drakloak / Dragapult line is a definite exception to the "Ghost Pokemon Have Tragic Backstories And A Tormented Existence" situation. They're just having a blast being ghosts (literally, in the case of the two Dreepies who live on Dragapult's head and get shot at enemies).
Um actually, Toffee is never a monster that terrorizes the Mewmans as part of Ludo’s army, and he never terrorizes Star and Marco while he briefly works under Ludo. Within the show’s lore, Toffee was a indestructible warlord who killed Moon’s mother, and was then humiliated when teen Moon cut off one of his fingers with a spell that was intended to kill him (she got this spell from Eclipsa, a former queen of Mewni who was imprisoned due to using dark magic and falling in love with a monster). Toffee takes over Ludo’s castle at the end of season one, and then forces Star to destroy her wand with the Whispering Spell as part of his big revenge plan against Moon. From there, he becomes a wand and begins taunting the realm of magic, takes over Ludo at the end of season 2 and kills a majority of the magic counsel, and does end up temporarily killing Star. This is all his own plans, he never does any of this when he shortly worked for Ludo.
And also, Mewmans ARE humans, they were settlers that came through the magic well portals, they just left eathh dimension behind. Also, THANK YOU, it bothered me so much they got that wrong
@@dinocz3301I feel like it's fair to say that the magic changed them enough to at least classify them as a new subspecies especially considering their human history was lost to them, although you could "umm actually" this by saying that strictly speaking, one would still consider them a human species since taxonomically humans are a genus, not a single species, including Neanderthals, denisovans and homo erectus among others.
The best part of the Futurama episode is when Fry is like "But the guy that is my grandfather is dead, so she can't be my grandmother!" and The Professor says "YOU IDIOT! YOU ARE YOU'RE GRANDFATHER!" and Fry realizes he boned his grandmother.
Can't believe it's been 15+ years since I've played the game but I still immediately recognized the ToeJam and Earl music. good times, had a blast playing as a kid
I never played ToeJam and Earl, but I knew immediately that it sounded like the Yamaha 2612 Synth from the Megadrive/Genesis, and that TJ+E was funky as fuck.
Um actually, in Final Fantasy XV Bahamut is not a variation of a dragon and is actually a humanoid wearing armour that has some slight dragon inspirations. In-game his model is humanoid and mask/helmet is visible and shaped like a human face plus in the novel "Final Fantasy XV: The Dawn of the Future" it is revealed that under his mask, Bahamut's face looks very similar to Somnus Lucius Caelum, the founder king and ancestor of the protagonist, Noctis.
As soon as I heard the theme and layout of the first Shiney Question about Video Game themes, I KNEW that The Moon Theme from Ducktales was going to be in there. Sure enough, first damn one. Fantastic.
That Banette question was really, REALLY nitpicky (which I get is part of the show, but still incredibly frustrating) because when you're referring to Pokemon, saying they have an evolution means that they have another form after that Pokemon, such as Wartortle into Blastoise. Saying it has no evolutionary line is more accurate. However, in Pokemon X and Y, Banette DOES get the option to "evolve" into Mega Banette.
Yeah ask anyone the question "Does Banette have an evolution" to almost anyone familiar with pokemon and they'll say no, and not because they're wrong, but because they literally do not define Shuppet as an evolution.
"That's not how number systems work" -> But it is how laws building semantically on each other work, should you realize you forgot an overarching one. -> zeroth law of thermodynamics.
The statement “Banette has no evolution” is false, but not because of Shuppet. Shuppet evolves into Banette, but is not Babette’s evolution. Rather the correct correction would be Banette’s true evolution: Mega Banette
Um, Actually, that still wouldn't really count. Mega Evolution is a different thing from regular evolution (And to be even more petty: Is not in the Pokémon games anymore so Banette can't currently Mega Evolve) So saying Banette has no evolution is 100% correct.
@@JFLEstudios I wouldn't say that mega evolutions were removed from the games, it's still part of Gen 6 and 7 (X and Y, OmegaRuby, AlphaSapphire, Sun and Moon, USun and UMoon) even though Sword and Shield don't include the feature. However, I would agree that mega evolutions aren't true evolutions because of being temporary.
@@julto8kirby ok my wording could’ve been a bit better, but he didn’t specify whether or not the evolution had to be regular or natural, so Mega evolution still technically counts as an evolution. Also regions coexist, so there are always Banettes who can mega evolve.
@@JFLEstudios also tbc, I meant true compared to Shuppet. Whether or not you consider mega evolution a type of evolution (which I do due to its phrasing), it’s still truer than calling Shuppet an evolution.
This isn’t an Um Actually, it’s just some more fun trivia: while it’s true that Rivia is not Geralt’s homeland, in the books, he does become Geralt of Rivia “officially” when he is knighted as Sir Geralt of Rivia by the Rivian Queen Meve after saving the Rivian Army from an attack by Nilfgaardian forces.
Um actually... Fry uses his LACK of the delta brainwave in order to defeat the brain spawn. They even go as far in that episode to mention that all living creatures, robots, and some house plants possess this brainwave. fry does not. Due to "past nastification"
Um actually, it is called, "The Nasty in the Past-y" but that isn't what makes it not "random". Yes, it was caused by the Nasty in the Past-y, but because Nibler knew that he had the delta mutation is why he froze Fry in the first place; Nibbler didn't know why the delta brain wave mutation occurred. However, the mutation was not "random" because it was one of the first paradoxes. It was always meant to be. Thus, not "random" but rather, pre-destined.
What you're saying doesn't contradict it being random. Anything that was random can be looked at after the fact once the outcome is known, that doesn't mean the outcome wasn't random.
Um, Actually, Bahamut was called "The Draconian" in Final Fantasy 15, but his appearance was much more akin to a human in dragon-themed equipment, so I feel like that should have been mentioned in the Bahamut question. I also feel like it's a more appropriate answer than a warship in Final Fantasy 12 being named after him, but that's just my take since this was an entity known as Bahamut and not a vehicle.
Also: "Um, Actually", Final Fantasy X, X-2, and VII are in the same universe. Spoilers for FFVII: In the distant future of X-2, the peoples of Spira developed space travel, found The Planet of FVII (it's literally just called The Planet) some time after JENOVA landed, settled there, and Shinra (FFX-2)'s descendants founded the Shinra Power Company.
not even a minute in... before you read the first question you said "this is about indiana jones" i paused it and was like "um actually.. that isn't his real name" XD
Also, with the Bahamut question: each numbered game is NOT exactly taking place in a seperate world, and I’m not counting any that are “Final Fantasy Number -2” or “Final Fantasy Number : insert subtitle here.” In fact it is heavily implied (by one of the producers that worked on both games as well as 10-2) that Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 10 share a common world as well.
All these players have great chemistry and energy. What a fun lineup. I don't think I have seen Devon before and I love his vibe. I was feeling his pain on the music questions. Right there with ya buddy! More Devon! Kim is a force to be reckoned with! Deep nerd knowledge and wit to match. More Kim! Tao is... Tao. A paragon of the Gentleman Nerd. A Titan, yet humble. Always more Tao. Ok. Back to the show.
Thank you for winning on an I just went camping question! Everyone should go and experience camping. Pitch a tent, build a fire, roast marshmallows while camping!!
Um, actually, in the final season of SVTFOE its revealed that mewmans are humans that just stumbled into mewnie, via the realm of magic... But this show might predate that revelation
I'm pissed, I should have known the one about the 4 laws. I remembered right after hearing the answer about how the laws from 1-3 designated priority, So if it was really 4, then it would be AFTER "the robot should attempt to protect itself" which would be an issue. I'm dumb. Of course a programmer would sneak that shit in a 0 value to avoid rewriting the other 3 lines.
Um actually, in Final Fantasy XIV Bahamut is also not a dragon and is in fact a primal. Primals are constructs of concentrated aether made manifest by the will of the summoner in the form of legendary figures or mythical creatures. In the case of the Bahamut we see in game he is a simulacra of the real Bahamut created centuries ago when the real Bahamut and died and the original dragon brood was tricked into summoning him as a way to resurrect him. We never see the original Bahamut in game.
I think you highlighted how your own correction is wrong. Bahamut *existed* in FFXIV, was a dragon, and the primal was fashioned in his image and memory. Additionally, we meet his former partner, who further affirms that he: A. Existed B. Was a dragon The *real* correction for that question is that FF Tactics, FFXII and FFXIV all share the same universe, which includes Ivalice.
Just logged into Dropout for the first time in over a year I signed up when it came out to support you guys but kinda figured it would fail, but I see there are 2 more seasons of this I havn't seen, glad to see it is still working.
Um actually, to say that Geralt has invented his backstory wholesale is incorrect. Geralt was actually knighted by queen Meve, who gave him the official title "of Rivia". So while he did initially make it all up, taking the knight title unofficially, he is *actually* not bullshitting about his title anymore, he is actually knighted "Sir Geralt of Rivia" by the queen of Lyria and Rivia.
@@galli0 Wasn't correcting the initial statement, but Traps off-hand statement after he gave the contestants the correct answer, implying that the title "of Rivia" is completely bogus. It was complete bogus when Geralt first took the name, but was no longer bogus after Geralt was knighted.
It's correct to say "he invented that backstory for himself wholesale," which is Trapp's statement (starting 27:30), even if the title was post-facto given to Geralt. Trapp later says it's his "official title" (27:54). This show misses on minor details with some regularity, but I don't think this is it.
I know it’s been months but watching this for the first time, knowing zilch about The Witcher, I guessed Geralt wasn’t actually from Rivia and immediately celebrated by accidentally punching the wall instead of the air
Fun fact, Geralt picked his name as a child, then Years later he by chance helped the queen of Rivia win an important battle and was officially knighted Geralt of Rivia
Um actually, I don’t think “Banette has no evolution” is a strictly incorrect statement. Banette cannot evolve (unless Megas are new evolutions) so it has no evolution, whether it evolves FROM anything has no affect on whether it has an evolution.
In the Witcher Gerald did make up the titel "of Rivia" at first to sound more official but at the end of the book Baptism of Fire he saves the queen of Rivia and get's knighted by her. So by the time of the game's it's still not his homeland it is actually his official title
Um actually, when you say a pokemon has an evolution it refers to what it can evolve Into, not what it evolved from. Therefore the phrase "Banette has no evolution" is correct as Banette can only mega evolve and not go through a permanent evolution into another pokemon
Um Actually, Final Fantasy X and VII technically share a universe, as Shinra from X-2 is canonically the descendant of the original creator of the Shinra Corp.
Kazushige Nojima said that it's not true that they are on the same planet and they were just having a bit of fun, however that they are in the same universe just on distant planets and 1000 years apart, however other makers of the games disagree.
Um actually, while most numbered FF games are unrelated, there are more than a few that take place in the same world. FF 12 is part of Ivalice as is FF14, and 15 takes place in the same universe as 13
15 and 13 were originally going to take place in the same world (15 was originally 13Versus), but that was scrapped and they take place in different universes. FF14 is specifically stated to be it's own world, and while places such as Ivalice do exist, it's basically an alternate-universe version of them, which works with the question. The question is wrong, however, because FF7 and FF10 have been stated to take place in the same universe. Shinra's technology to gather energy from the farplane in FFX-2 is stated to be an ancestor to Shinra's technology to create materia in FF7.
I was about to say that Final Fantasy Tactics takes places in Ivalice which is also where Final Fantasy 12 takes place, but the question does state “numbered”, so I will just leave it here.
@@stryed1111 VII and X being the same world is also incorrect. It was basically an in-joke among the writers of the game because both worlds looked kind of similar. Kazushige Nojima, the scenario writer for both VII and X-2, has confirmed this in a 2018 interview: "This story is a bit of a joke. When we created FFX-2, we wanted to create something, a totally new world. Except that when I created it, I realized that it looked a lot like FFVII ... But without realizing it. Afterwards, when it was officially said in Ultimania, it took a completely gigantic proportion when it was just an anecdote."
@@Autumnsaga13 you can call it an Easter egg, or an unintentionally developed Canon, sure, but there's now a picture in ff7r that shows the Shinra founders, and one is remarkably similar to Shinra from x. I'd say it's possible that they take place in the same universe
9:11 Um, actually, that is how "number values" work in computing as most programming languages use zero-based indexing instead of one-based. The question is, what was laws[0] set to before the introduction of this new law or was that element simply left null before that point.
Um actually, Toffee never terrorize mewnie as part of Ludo's army, he only works for Ludo for the first arch when all of the Ludo's focus is on stealing Star's wand while she is on Earth. Toffee only does miss deeds on mewnie after usurping Ludo
"A human became a Pokemon? That has so many implications." Yes, yes it does. Canonically, in text from the games themselves, human and Pokemon are pretty much the same thing. There are stories of an age where they *were* the same, getting married, having children with each other, etc. At some point they split off from each other, but some Pokemon retain their human connections. Mostly ghost Pokemon, which are often (though not always!) formed from human souls, but also things like Kadabra, which canonically (according to the in-game Pokedex, at least) used to be a psychic human child that woke up one day transformed into a Pokemon, in a very Kafka-esque scenario.
Now I’m even more confused about Mr Mime…

I understand why you only did it 1 time, but oh my god this is so useful and informative why didn't you do it more

Um actually, the reason Fry is immune to the brainspawn is because the genetic mutation made him NOT produce the delta brain wave, which the brains were trying to suppress
Damn they got that wrong? I didn't even watch yet
This so hard. I was yelling it. Fry's past nastification results in a lack of delta brainwaves
@@pragalu he did do the nasty in the past-y
Yep I can't believe that they missed that, and Devon even said it which would've been correct. Like both of those things had to go together- past nastification causing inability to produce delta brain wave. tsk tsk

the whole "Geralt of Rivia" trivia bit actually goes deeper and is honestly one of my favorite backstory twists ive seen in writing...As mentioned, Witchers make up fake knighthood titles to gain favor with potential employers BUT Geralt actually becomes knighted by the queen of Rivia (Meve) when he stumbles on them fighting a losing battle with Nilfgard for a bridge crossing...and since Geralt and his party had to cross they ended up winning the battle for Rivia and rewarded with knighthood. So he never lived there...made up the title...but eventually became a true knight and actually Geralt of Rivia
makes me wonder if Meve ever sits around and hears what Geralt of Rivia has been getting up to and thinking...huh thats the guy who i knighted for saving my life...
actually...he may have given a false name at the time of the knighting now that i think about it....gotta look it up
do you ever wonder what actual Rivians think of Geralt, if they think about him at all seeing as he's never been there?
That was one of my favorite parts in the whole book series, and if you want to go even deeper it was implied (and maybe even explicitly said) to be revoked when their company abandoned The White Queen and her army a short while later.
I can’t wait for an Um, Actually of Um, Actually. Like a whole episode where the shelves are blank and Trapp asks them about show trivia. Winners, incorrect props, etc etc
Um actually, in Star vs. the Forces of Evil, in "Meteora's Lesson" and "Mama Star" it is very heavily suggested that mewmans are descended from mindwiped human pilgrims who traveled from Earth through the Realm of Magic.
Mewmans are just humans who have magic integrated in their body. As of the ending Mewmans are now humans again.
It's not suggested, we see the first human arriving and getting the wand
@@razbender1379 Technically, Glossaryck never outright says they are human but they obviously are, hence the "very heavily" suggested.

I like how emphatic Trapp is when he's explaining how fucked up the pokemon world is, almost like he's been voicing a series about that exact topic for years.
The pokemon tower has always been fucked and that was gen 1. He very well could have been
The entire concept of Pokemon is fucked up when you think about it. Like in Reboot during the Pokemon parody when Bob says: "You keep creatures in cages, and release them just to fight?... That is sick!"
It's not even just the ghost types that are fucked up. Basically every mega evolution is in complete agony because of the changes to their body (several are burning and melting). Bewear often accidentally kill their trainers by hugging them and crushing their spines. Hatterene will fucking murder you if you are loud or have strong emotions.
Oh and if Spoink ever stops bouncing it'll just go into cardiac arrest. It's pumping it's heart when it boucnes
What is this series?
@@ferddoesweirdthingsinlife1040 If PokéDex Entries were Literal
Um Actually, Shuppet evolves into Banette so it can't be the reverse, however it remains the correct answer because Banette can Mega Evolve. Also Um Actually, Yamask now has a branched evolution depending on its regional variant, Galarian Yamask instead evolve into Runerigis
The concept of Pokémon being born from humans isn't a new thing either; Kadabra's pokédex in Fire Red states that the first Kadabra manifested as a human with 'extrasensory powers', who woke up in bed one day transformed into a Kadabra
@@Shmeat Though I totally agree with the sentiment that it’s not really an evolution, the games use the term “Mega Evolution” to describe the mechanic.
He says that Banette evolves from Shuppet... You aren't actually correcting anything.
@@bronsoncarder2491 but the statement says "Banette who has no evolution"
Also Drifloon specifically doesn't take all children. It also hates bigger/heavier children for the sole reason it can't pick them up.
Um, actually, Mega Evolution isn't technically an evolution, nor do regional form-exclusive evolutions (I.e. Alolan Vulpix to Alolan Ninetails, but NOT regular Pikachu to Alolan Raichu in Alola) count as branched evolutions. Mime, Jr. has a branched evolution in Galarian vs. Regular Mr. Mime, but Galarian Yamask cannot become Cofagrigus and regular Yamask can't become Runerigus, and it isn't considered a branched evo.
Um actually, in Starship Troopers, it's the world government, they just happened to live in Argentina.
You beat me to it! It's the Terran Federation, a world government.
United Citizen Federation
Um, actually in Starship Troopers there is a propaganda video that explicitly states "Service guarantees citizenship". This implies that there must be other, non-guaranteed ways to citizenship, and therefore service isn't the only way to become a citizen.
And I totally nailed that zeroth law and it felt pretty good I ain't ashamed to say.
Yes, that question had so many things wrong one could've just said um, actually the entire question and been closer than some of the accepted guess answers.
@@michaelpetepiece4566 Not necessarily. That isn't a sound conclusion. It can also mean, and we know does mean, that citizenship is not guaranteed. Most earthlings aren't citizens of the Federation. Birth doesn't guarantee citizenship, like it does in most real world nations. Service to the Federation, I believe is the only way to acquire citizenship.
Um actually, the earth in Starship Troopers has a unified government called the United Citizen Federation. Would you like to know more?
I was going to like another post, but yes I did want to know more and the other guy didn't ask.
Also um actually, I think Carmen went to officer school so she would not be considered "enlisted."
Rico looked more German than Argentinean, which would also make sense...

Um actually, the regulations for what firewood you can gather from the environment vary a lot depending on where you are camping. Popular camping areas usually ban gathering wood on-site, but some national forests allow it, some private camping sites allow it, and places with high risk of wildfire usually ban campfires completely regardless of where the wood comes from.
But the initial correction is also right, that you should never transport firewood, because it risks bringing along emerald ash borer, oak blight, and a bunch of other nastiness.
I was thinking of EAB during that whole question !!
I hate to do it, but um actually, it’s called oak wilt. 😅😅
@@FilbieTron a google search brings up the same stuff for wilt and blight, but neither are the blight I recognize when I think of Oak Blight.
Um actually, Toffee was never one of Ludo's minions, but he did pose as a consultant to trick his minions and oust Ludo. Also Star and her species may be called Mewmans for the majority of the show, in season 4 it is revealed that Mewni was populated by humans that slipped through a Portal to the Realm of Magic and migrated to Mewni after losing their memories to the Realm of Magic's amnesia effects.
thank you!
Um, actually (also), Bald Eagle was not a monster--she was just a regular old bird. In addition to the mewmans being humans.
Um actually, Tao was correct in that you never visit Rivia in The Witcher trilogy. The only time we have seen it in games was during Thronebreaker where you do not play as Geralt. Additionally Geralt took "of Rivia" as a surname but it was made official when he helped Queen Meve during the Battle for the Bridge on Yaruga. She knighted him for his assistance and made him Geralt of Rivia proper.
And then he left, because he ain't fighting no damn wars for no damn monarchs. At least in that instance.
But I see someone else has played Thronebreaker! Really liked the game, what did you think about it?
I think with the exact wording being "you never go to Rivia", playing as a different character still means the player experiences it.
@@realism_logic I pesonally really liked it. The story and the characters were really well done. The actual cardgame itself was ok, nothing amazing.
Ive never played The Witcher games, but does anyone ever call out Geralt on not being from Rivia? Like some one starts a conversation with him about a famous location, then reveals they just made it up, to call him out on a lie?
@@danielbretall2236 Don't think so. I played all three games and can't remember a scene like that. Then again, Rivia is pretty far away from the places you visit in the games, so it's not that surprising.
Um actually, inserting the 4th law of robotics as the "0th" law actually makes sense from a programming perspective. 0 is always the first value in data structures like Arrays, so provided we're talking about the Laws in context of how a program would interpret them, saying "0th" makes perfect sense.
Yeah, it's also a thing in other branches of science, eg. 0th law of Thermodynamics
Also, IIRC, the laws of robotics sort of stack so that each law cannot violate previous ones. So, whether you go 0-3 or 1-4, it's still an important distinction to say it goes at the front of the list.
But that doesn't stop it being the first law. The first entry in your array is at position 0 but it is not zeroth.
It's also worth mentioning that the zeroth law is still the fourth law because it was conceived of fourth, even though its importance is first
@@shadebug You didn't say "Um, Actually" so we're not going to give you the point.
Yup, it's not how 'counting' works but it is how indexing works. So for computers it's definitely valid.

Absolutely did the same! Such a good show
Discovered this show in the past week and I'm now OBSESSED. More Wheel of Time questions please!
Submit a question to the show
I’m jealous. You have a lot of episodes to watch.
Welcome
They have actually done WoT questions already.
Who’s your favorite character? Mine is Perrin.
"I did all of this for nothin'" quite possibly the best quote in game history. That is this game in a nut shell!
Trapp really going hard on the “I’ll give you the point unless someone wants is more right” in this one
It’s honestly a good mutation that stuck around
I really like the answer format of "Um actually it's not X, it's Y" with point going to X unless someone can steal with Y. The person that gets Y is doing "Um actually" to answer X.
The King Kong one is a little tricky because his size changed dramatically throughout his various appearance. He was about as big as Godzilla when they appeared together but he started off at about 24 feet tall in his original appearance.
Yea. Both godzilla and king kong were shown different size depending on the movie. Probably they asked about that specific one but i find this line about Godzilla
"In Godzilla (2014), Godzilla is 355 feet (108 meters) tall. In Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) and Godzilla vs. Kong (2021), his height is increased to 394 feet (120 meters) tall." Which is bigger than insectozaur. And similar king kong in some he is just 4-5 times bigger than gorilla and other he is over 100m i think
um actually... while "looking at its mask and cries" entry is correct for yamask, it looses that trait when it evolves. Cofagrigus's entries usually revolve around its love of eating gold and trapping human (more specifically grave robbers). its Pokemon sword entry even mentions "people say it no longer remembers that it was once human"
Um, Actually it wasn't "Bone Zoning" it was "Past Nastification."
Um, actually Toffee wasn't so much a part of Ludo's army as he was another BBEG who gained Ludo's trust and kicked him out to take over his army
I expected the ghost pokemon one to be "Um actually bannette does technically have an evolution because it mega evolves" not to be referring to its pre-evolution
Retroactively, the answer can also now be that Yamask can evolve into Runerigus as well.
I can’t believe how much of a grip Mega Man music has on my brain that as soon as they played that theme I started dancing and got extremely sad when it stopped
I’ve never played the Witcher but when that question came up I was like “I bet he’s not from rivia. I know that’s what they call him… but I’ve watched enough um actually to know this is the sort of shit they pull”
I’m proud of myself.
hilariously in the books he gets knighted by a queen after helping her in battle, and ends up officially becoming Geralt of Rivia by accident after calling himself that for years already!
@@rachelesslow Um Actually, not just a queen, but specifically the queen of Rivia, Meve.
So every time George Lucas gets writers block he just asks himself:
*"What da dog doin?"*
Um actually, the Graboids were 30ft long while the original King Kong was 24ft tall. Yes, Kong was planned to be between 40-50ft tall, but when he was in New York the model scaled out to 24ft. Devon got all of the monster heights correct.
For the Star question, Toffee was a mercenary, so I'd argue that he shouldn't count as an actual member of Ludo's army
when he announced "legal limit" my first thought was identifying the names of fictional alcohols and matching them to the canon's they belong to. Then my next guess was matching characters to their ages (originally thinking legal drinking age joke, then legal adult age joke) and then I was disappointed at what it really meant
"Are these characters legally old enough to drink?" Is a good question
Same!
Just wanted to say that you guys should 100% continue to make these; people love them and this was an absolutely brilliant idea for a channel/game. Keep it coming with the goods!
P.S. - Trapp 2024. Absolutely hilarious and has the perfect personality for a host. Keep it up!
Um, actually, the Mewmans are not all butterfly people. In fact they only become butterfly people when they go through "Mewberty," an uncontrollable process that begins with them growing hearts all over their bodies and either ends with them going completely back to normal after a set time period, or never going back to normal. After Mewberty is complete, the Mewman is left with a small set of wings. It is implied that Mewberty may only happen to girls, only to royalty, or only to princesses, although this is never confirmed.
That DuckTales song is so iconic too. And the MegaMan song!! Big oofs.
Not an "um actually", but a fun side-note: the Dreepy / Drakloak / Dragapult line is a definite exception to the "Ghost Pokemon Have Tragic Backstories And A Tormented Existence" situation. They're just having a blast being ghosts (literally, in the case of the two Dreepies who live on Dragapult's head and get shot at enemies).
Um actually, Toffee is never a monster that terrorizes the Mewmans as part of Ludo’s army, and he never terrorizes Star and Marco while he briefly works under Ludo. Within the show’s lore, Toffee was a indestructible warlord who killed Moon’s mother, and was then humiliated when teen Moon cut off one of his fingers with a spell that was intended to kill him (she got this spell from Eclipsa, a former queen of Mewni who was imprisoned due to using dark magic and falling in love with a monster). Toffee takes over Ludo’s castle at the end of season one, and then forces Star to destroy her wand with the Whispering Spell as part of his big revenge plan against Moon. From there, he becomes a wand and begins taunting the realm of magic, takes over Ludo at the end of season 2 and kills a majority of the magic counsel, and does end up temporarily killing Star. This is all his own plans, he never does any of this when he shortly worked for Ludo.
And also, Mewmans ARE humans, they were settlers that came through the magic well portals, they just left eathh dimension behind. Also, THANK YOU, it bothered me so much they got that wrong
@@dinocz3301I feel like it's fair to say that the magic changed them enough to at least classify them as a new subspecies especially considering their human history was lost to them, although you could "umm actually" this by saying that strictly speaking, one would still consider them a human species since taxonomically humans are a genus, not a single species, including Neanderthals, denisovans and homo erectus among others.
The "What's a king to a god" joke at 5:58 went completely underappreciated.
The best part of the Futurama episode is when Fry is like "But the guy that is my grandfather is dead, so she can't be my grandmother!" and The Professor says "YOU IDIOT! YOU ARE YOU'RE GRANDFATHER!" and Fry realizes he boned his grandmother.
The way traps eyes light up when someone gets his obscure references is so validating to a pedantic nerd like myself.
Can't believe it's been 15+ years since I've played the game but I still immediately recognized the ToeJam and Earl music. good times, had a blast playing as a kid
I never played ToeJam and Earl, but I knew immediately that it sounded like the Yamaha 2612 Synth from the Megadrive/Genesis, and that TJ+E was funky as fuck.
I thought the Pokémon question's answer was going to say that Bennette has a mega evolution because of how it was worded
I doubt any of them even know mega evolution ever existed
I couldn't contain my excitement when I saw Tao, I really like him!
My wife walked down the aisle to a piano cover of the Moon Theme, so naturally it was the first song I expected before they even started playing.

Um actually, in Final Fantasy XV Bahamut is not a variation of a dragon and is actually a humanoid wearing armour that has some slight dragon inspirations. In-game his model is humanoid and mask/helmet is visible and shaped like a human face plus in the novel "Final Fantasy XV: The Dawn of the Future" it is revealed that under his mask, Bahamut's face looks very similar to Somnus Lucius Caelum, the founder king and ancestor of the protagonist, Noctis.

That Banette question was really, REALLY nitpicky (which I get is part of the show, but still incredibly frustrating) because when you're referring to Pokemon, saying they have an evolution means that they have another form after that Pokemon, such as Wartortle into Blastoise. Saying it has no evolutionary line is more accurate. However, in Pokemon X and Y, Banette DOES get the option to "evolve" into Mega Banette.
Yeah ask anyone the question "Does Banette have an evolution" to almost anyone familiar with pokemon and they'll say no, and not because they're wrong, but because they literally do not define Shuppet as an evolution.
"That's not how number systems work" -> But it is how laws building semantically on each other work, should you realize you forgot an overarching one. -> zeroth law of thermodynamics.
Everyone getting the laws of robotics question wrong made me feel kind of unreasonably superior. 🤣🤣🤣
The statement “Banette has no evolution” is false, but not because of Shuppet. Shuppet evolves into Banette, but is not Babette’s evolution. Rather the correct correction would be Banette’s true evolution: Mega Banette
Um, Actually, that still wouldn't really count. Mega Evolution is a different thing from regular evolution (And to be even more petty: Is not in the Pokémon games anymore so Banette can't currently Mega Evolve) So saying Banette has no evolution is 100% correct.
@@JFLEstudios I wouldn't say that mega evolutions were removed from the games, it's still part of Gen 6 and 7 (X and Y, OmegaRuby, AlphaSapphire, Sun and Moon, USun and UMoon) even though Sword and Shield don't include the feature. However, I would agree that mega evolutions aren't true evolutions because of being temporary.
@@julto8kirby ok my wording could’ve been a bit better, but he didn’t specify whether or not the evolution had to be regular or natural, so Mega evolution still technically counts as an evolution. Also regions coexist, so there are always Banettes who can mega evolve.
@@JFLEstudios also tbc, I meant true compared to Shuppet. Whether or not you consider mega evolution a type of evolution (which I do due to its phrasing), it’s still truer than calling Shuppet an evolution.
@Mr. Perfect Cell that would make it a pre-evolution of Banette though. And referring to a pre-evolution as an evolution is unprecedented
Holy shit I was not prepaired for that "No Church in the Wild" reference from Kim Horcher, that's so hilariously unexpected and cool
19:45 well that's sure an interesting editing choice
Yeah usually they cut to Trapp to make it less obvious.
Um actually, banette doesnt just have shuppet as a pre-evolution, it also has Mega-banette as it's mega evolution which was introduced in generation 6
This isn’t an Um Actually, it’s just some more fun trivia: while it’s true that Rivia is not Geralt’s homeland, in the books, he does become Geralt of Rivia “officially” when he is knighted as Sir Geralt of Rivia by the Rivian Queen Meve after saving the Rivian Army from an attack by Nilfgaardian forces.
Doesn’t he also have a Rivian accent? Did he just learn it?
@@notsam7928 he did learn how to imitate one, that way he wouldn’t be as easily found out about not actually having ever lived there
and, um... actually, in the main series of games, can palyer ever visit Rivia? Or do they mean that in the Queen Meve game you can do it?
Um actually... Fry uses his LACK of the delta brainwave in order to defeat the brain spawn. They even go as far in that episode to mention that all living creatures, robots, and some house plants possess this brainwave. fry does not. Due to "past nastification"
devon calling monsters vs aliens a good movie feels very validating
holy hell, dog sidious is such a good name for a dog :D imma steal that for when i get one
Um actually, it is called, "The Nasty in the Past-y" but that isn't what makes it not "random". Yes, it was caused by the Nasty in the Past-y, but because Nibler knew that he had the delta mutation is why he froze Fry in the first place; Nibbler didn't know why the delta brain wave mutation occurred.
However, the mutation was not "random" because it was one of the first paradoxes. It was always meant to be. Thus, not "random" but rather, pre-destined.
What you're saying doesn't contradict it being random. Anything that was random can be looked at after the fact once the outcome is known, that doesn't mean the outcome wasn't random.
the Star vs. Forces of Evil and Futerama questions had soo many issues
Um, Actually, Bahamut was called "The Draconian" in Final Fantasy 15, but his appearance was much more akin to a human in dragon-themed equipment, so I feel like that should have been mentioned in the Bahamut question. I also feel like it's a more appropriate answer than a warship in Final Fantasy 12 being named after him, but that's just my take since this was an entity known as Bahamut and not a vehicle.
I wish I used Twitter, but maybe they will still see this and think it is neat trivia. :|
Also: "Um, Actually", Final Fantasy X, X-2, and VII are in the same universe. Spoilers for FFVII:
In the distant future of X-2, the peoples of Spira developed space travel, found The Planet of FVII (it's literally just called The Planet) some time after JENOVA landed, settled there, and Shinra (FFX-2)'s descendants founded the Shinra Power Company.
not even a minute in... before you read the first question
you said "this is about indiana jones" i paused it and was like "um actually.. that isn't his real name" XD
Also, with the Bahamut question: each numbered game is NOT exactly taking place in a seperate world, and I’m not counting any that are “Final Fantasy Number -2” or “Final Fantasy Number : insert subtitle here.” In fact it is heavily implied (by one of the producers that worked on both games as well as 10-2) that Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 10 share a common world as well.
not just in interviews, it's in the Ultimania guide for X-2: Shira's descendants founded the Shinra Power Company on The Planet.
Until this episode, I had forgotten about Tao's thing with being touched. Kinda feel sad for him again now.
Um actually, Mewmans are Humans, as they are descendats of pilgrims who came to Mewni through a magic well which made them loose their memories

I'm pissed, I should have known the one about the 4 laws. I remembered right after hearing the answer about how the laws from 1-3 designated priority, So if it was really 4, then it would be AFTER "the robot should attempt to protect itself" which would be an issue. I'm dumb.
Of course a programmer would sneak that shit in a 0 value to avoid rewriting the other 3 lines.
Um actually, in Final Fantasy XIV Bahamut is also not a dragon and is in fact a primal. Primals are constructs of concentrated aether made manifest by the will of the summoner in the form of legendary figures or mythical creatures. In the case of the Bahamut we see in game he is a simulacra of the real Bahamut created centuries ago when the real Bahamut and died and the original dragon brood was tricked into summoning him as a way to resurrect him. We never see the original Bahamut in game.
I think you highlighted how your own correction is wrong. Bahamut *existed* in FFXIV, was a dragon, and the primal was fashioned in his image and memory. Additionally, we meet his former partner, who further affirms that he:
A. Existed
B. Was a dragon
The *real* correction for that question is that FF Tactics, FFXII and FFXIV all share the same universe, which includes Ivalice.
You should link to the guests social media accounts in the description.

Um actually, to say that Geralt has invented his backstory wholesale is incorrect. Geralt was actually knighted by queen Meve, who gave him the official title "of Rivia". So while he did initially make it all up, taking the knight title unofficially, he is *actually* not bullshitting about his title anymore, he is actually knighted "Sir Geralt of Rivia" by the queen of Lyria and Rivia.
Um, actually he still isn't _from_ Rivia which was the thing that was wrong
@@galli0 Wasn't correcting the initial statement, but Traps off-hand statement after he gave the contestants the correct answer, implying that the title "of Rivia" is completely bogus. It was complete bogus when Geralt first took the name, but was no longer bogus after Geralt was knighted.
It's correct to say "he invented that backstory for himself wholesale," which is Trapp's statement (starting 27:30), even if the title was post-facto given to Geralt. Trapp later says it's his "official title" (27:54). This show misses on minor details with some regularity, but I don't think this is it.
Has this happened in the games, though? Do the events of the games happen after all the books?
Kim not only won the game but had the best joke with her Watch the Throne reference!
Ayyyyyw lets go!! Time for my weekly ritual !
I know it’s been months but watching this for the first time, knowing zilch about The Witcher, I guessed Geralt wasn’t actually from Rivia and immediately celebrated by accidentally punching the wall instead of the air
Fun fact, Geralt picked his name as a child, then Years later he by chance helped the queen of Rivia win an important battle and was officially knighted Geralt of Rivia
I don’t know if I’ve ever wanted to buzz in harder than when you played the Duck Tales moon theme.
Um actually, I don’t think “Banette has no evolution” is a strictly incorrect statement. Banette cannot evolve (unless Megas are new evolutions) so it has no evolution, whether it evolves FROM anything has no affect on whether it has an evolution.
I mean, mega evolution has evolution in the name, therefore making it an evolution
@@xuklysc Yeah, if the correction had been “Um actually Banette has a mega evolution” then sure but they didn’t mention that. Weird
@@samrichardson5971 I agree with that. Preevolution shouldn't count as "having an evolution" as preevolve isn't a process a pokemon can undergo
In the Witcher Gerald did make up the titel "of Rivia" at first to sound more official but at the end of the book Baptism of Fire he saves the queen of Rivia and get's knighted by her. So by the time of the game's it's still not his homeland it is actually his official title
Um actually, when you say a pokemon has an evolution it refers to what it can evolve Into, not what it evolved from. Therefore the phrase "Banette has no evolution" is correct as Banette can only mega evolve and not go through a permanent evolution into another pokemon
Um Actually, Final Fantasy X and VII technically share a universe, as Shinra from X-2 is canonically the descendant of the original creator of the Shinra Corp.
Kazushige Nojima said that it's not true that they are on the same planet and they were just having a bit of fun, however that they are in the same universe just on distant planets and 1000 years apart, however other makers of the games disagree.
I love Devon he’s so supportive!
Graboids, yeah! We need more Tremors questions
Um actually, while most numbered FF games are unrelated, there are more than a few that take place in the same world. FF 12 is part of Ivalice as is FF14, and 15 takes place in the same universe as 13
15 and 13 were originally going to take place in the same world (15 was originally 13Versus), but that was scrapped and they take place in different universes. FF14 is specifically stated to be it's own world, and while places such as Ivalice do exist, it's basically an alternate-universe version of them, which works with the question. The question is wrong, however, because FF7 and FF10 have been stated to take place in the same universe. Shinra's technology to gather energy from the farplane in FFX-2 is stated to be an ancestor to Shinra's technology to create materia in FF7.
I was about to say that Final Fantasy Tactics takes places in Ivalice which is also where Final Fantasy 12 takes place, but the question does state “numbered”, so I will just leave it here.
@@stryed1111 VII and X being the same world is also incorrect. It was basically an in-joke among the writers of the game because both worlds looked kind of similar.
Kazushige Nojima, the scenario writer for both VII and X-2, has confirmed this in a 2018 interview:
"This story is a bit of a joke. When we created FFX-2, we wanted to create something, a totally new world. Except that when I created it, I realized that it looked a lot like FFVII ... But without realizing it. Afterwards, when it was officially said in Ultimania, it took a completely gigantic proportion when it was just an anecdote."
@@Autumnsaga13 you can call it an Easter egg, or an unintentionally developed Canon, sure, but there's now a picture in ff7r that shows the Shinra founders, and one is remarkably similar to Shinra from x. I'd say it's possible that they take place in the same universe
