Adam casually wearing a pad on his head for 2 hours, is iconic.
i cant stop laughing too much for this 🤣
Also the challenge didn’t say wear it on your head. He could have just tie it around his wrist but he still followed spirit of the challenge.
@@teddyfail indeed it is! or just make a wristband out of the pink ribbon and make it like a bowtie thingy...but after all it's "Hello Kitty", he gotta do it like one so....yeah
DID HE EVEN REALISE THAT IT WAS A PAD ????? -_-" HAHAHAHA !!!!!!!! [WHY WAS HE SO UPSET WITH ME ??? OMG DUDE, YOU THINK ???]
@@choiceschoices5910 what are you even tryna say bro, at least calm down
Can't wait for this show to enter it's 20th season to watch Sam and Adam race eachother to the dark side of the moon
Jet Lag: Season 30. Race to Death
Jet Lag season 31: Race to the afterlife
“Oh shit I left the flag on Mars.”
@@chocolatlaitseason 41, race out of the afterlife
@@__dane__ **checks on tracker** where's ben... He's probably getting on his ship back to Jupiter.
Ben not getting drunk this season is just unbelievable
It is not over yet, lol
It’s still time…
so far there's only one season w/o drunk ben and it should stay that way
So sad
I'm still waiting for that to happen with Cursed Card.
Given all the alcohol and sake Japan is got to give!
7:35 ben saying i’m young and full of youthful vigor and then immediately after starting to run saying i’m tired is such a vibe
its because hes so unfit
I love Ben
@@WhoShorts_ It's because him saying that was sarcastic
@@bongi6811 ok? the fact that he's unfit still stands
@@WhoShorts_Yeah, and that's why he said it
The chase between Ben and Scotty was great
Nice
👍👍👍
Tökéletes
Great video
Good
Can't believe they changed Adam's subtitles to literally say "Hello Kitty" during that curse 😂
Well the challenge does say "You are now Hello Kitty".
@@TrueZero2 Just cant believe they went all the way!
it was a good idea, they put a lot of attention to detail into the game
Time stamp?
@@bathamsteryt 25:10
Omiya is quickly becoming the Lille of Season 6
If they took the shinkansen theres no way around Omiya. But the thing is, they need not to go pass Omiya. Sam can return his flag at Takahashi as it's over the line a slight bit.
Though escaping Omiya is difficult.
There are two ways around but both ways take quite a while. Shorter route would be Takasaki ~ Kuragano ~ Hachiko Line ~ Hachioji. The issue is this line have so little train (0~1 per hour off peak hours) and its possible for Ben to defend.
Another way i could think of is go to Oyama then Mito line, change to Joban line to Tokyo. This route have much more frequent trains but long distance.
You mean Oyama
No, Omiya
good ol lille
@@rinmarc9600 Omiya is the giant hub. in kanji its 大宮 (long o sound, technically its oomiya)
oyama is a smaller shinkansen station but is a relative big station for local trains going to two directions. its 小山 in kanji
japan is an interesting place. words can be different while the pronunciation is the same
fun fact: there are two Shinkansen station called Sendai せんだい in japan: One is the East Japan Sendai 仙台 that sam/Scotty visited last episode. another station is 川内 in Kyushu.
you cant be self conscious and play jetlag. The fact adam wore a pad on his head for 2 hours and didnt even blush is impressive
I don't think he realized in the moment. He was just like PINK.
It's not really noticeable that it's a pad.
@@irissupercoolsyIt's SO obvious. I knew as soon as he grabbed them and I'm a guy who has bought them exactly once in my life.
@@Hendlton I mean when it's folded and on his head.
Thank you to the person who is writing your closed captioning (instead of leaving it to be auto generated). The extra colors (and placement!) for each voice are greatly appreciated and help me figure out who is saying what.
Yup. It matters a lot to me because of my deteriorating hearing. And auto generated captioning generally sucks.
As a non English native speaker I’m impressed and grateful
1:13 Sam wearing a bucket hat and a Great Wave Off Kanagawa sweatshirt is the most conspicuous outfit I swear
And he agrees! 26:13
Until Adam wears Hello Kitty. 😅 and has Chicken Intestine soup. 😮
i am hoh subtitles are super appreciated
Adam: Gets on a train with a smelly leaky package of chicken intestine stew.
Also Adam: "They're staring at my Hello Kitty bow."
Tbf... The bow was a pad, as in, for down there; def not for headwear
ok
I just unsubscribed 😇
@@powdergate ok?
@@powdergatenobody cares lil bro
Although I'm not luckily deaf I super appreciate that you guys have proper subtitles beacuse sometimes it even ehances the experience or makes it easier to watch the videos in loud/no sound environments
Me too! In my case not so much hearing but sometimes I can't understand what they're saying as English is not my mother tongue.
The subtitles are also color coded by who said it, and it's in italic when Sam is narrating. Just little details much appreciated from the team!
to quote Tom Scott: "subtitles should be standard on TH-cam. ooh, you bought a Lamborghini!? BUY SOME DAMN SUBTITLES."
@@Georgie-Mtrue! thats why the guy who made the caption for jet lag is the same guy who made the caption for tom scott
@@mae7204 yeah but from what I've seen, only certain creators can use colour coded captions, italics etc
I'm so glad TH-cam has an option just to paste your video's script in and it'll automatically caption it ngl
Adam just casually wearing the pink pad on his head has me dyinggg
I just unsubscribed from this rubbish 😂
istg i can't stop laughing at Adam wearing a pad as a hello kitty bow 🤣 also suffering some secondhand embarrassment and felt sorry for adam... :')
Can we just take a minute to appreciate Ben's skill of somehow navigating the tokyo public transport system flawlessly on the fly?
Scotty chasing down ben in the very beginning was INTENSE! Felt like a Proper footrace. It was Great!
We dont often get to see just an old school footrace on jet lag.
And even the reverse sequence, where Ben chases after Scotty (from minute 18 to 22 or so) was incredible. So much fun!
@@rampadmanabhan4258 That was actually what I was hoping for from this season. Tokyo has so many parallel lines close together in the area that it’s only really possible there.
12:01 i love how the Ben emote is sad because he is waiting at Tokyo that’s brilliant
Just a little bummed that the flags aren't *really* spread out through the entire country, because there's a lot of ground both south and north of each of the furthest flags, but I guess that would have made for too long a game.
* Adam padling to Okinawa to get the last flag *
maybe that's for the sudden death tiebreaker, though if i'm correct team B&A only has to defend their final flag to guarantee a win.
Or maybe make choke points an even bigger issue? Would have to check all the transport options though.
@@mfaizsyahmi I believe the full 3 points are awarded for winning the round, not just captured flags. So they need to be going pedal to the medal the whole time just to ensure they're still ahead of Sam and Scotty in number of flags and distance carried.
Yea, I expected the flags being placed in Kyuushu and Hokkaido, for example in Fukuoka and Hakodate... but I guess with around 5h for a one-way trip with the Shinkansen that would likely force them to stay overnight on the way to or from the flag making production more complicated and also just having them ride the Shinkansen for 10h is less exciting than some crazy interception scheming like we will see in the next episode.
Adam stapling 2 menstrual pads to his head has gotta be one of the funniest things that has ever happened on this show
Imagine walking into a store and seeing a foreign guy with a pack of pads in his hands furiously yelling "oh yeah, oh yeah, this will do"
I expected a twist, but for Ben to die?!?!?! NEVER saw that coming
OMG
I'm sorta confused, is he out of the game completely? I mean, he can do challenges and earn coins, right?
@@irinaindeikina4042huh?
@@mars-nf9cj Well, they said "die", as if Ben is out

Season 5: Race to Cannonball the USA
Season 6: Race from South Africa to London
Season 10: Race to the moon and back
Race from Cape Town to Cairo? O___O
Isnt this already season 6
@@spotstate3548yes
The problem with a race from South Africa to London or Cape Town to Cairo is that they will need visas to enter certain countries in Africa
@@Mill_Jr Many of the countries offer e-Visas. I remember in one of the episodes of Circumnavigate the World, someone said something about having to get a Singapore Visa, so it's not completely impossible. I think the biggest problem would be underdeveloped roads and lacking public transport.
The chase between Ben and Scotty was great. I also love how the moment Adam needs to find a wave, Sam is wearing a wave sweater. Also, he looked adorable as Hello Kitty. (I hope he gave the rest of the pads to his gf, that sh*t is expensive!)
I was screaming FACETIME SAM!!
@@melissalamfalusi8208 not allowed bc its on his phone lol!
@@durdleduc8520 He facetimed Ben for a tiny bit to show him that he wont be able to call with him but they had to cut it in the edit.
@@melissalamfalusi8208The card says it can't be on a screen.
Ben really cracked the Japanese railways network. Good lord, he was nailing every route.
23:21 so he just wear a female sanitary napkin on his head without any hesitation!? Have to give him a round of applause for that!!!
adam's commitment to the bit is legendary
That had me holding my stomach every time he passed somebody and they looked his way
Wait, did you seriously just call a period pad cover a "female sanitary napkin"? Is that a name people use someplace or just your invention?
@@OrionOnion at least that what google translate told me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@peacefulcat3578 i see you speak Chinese hahah. 衛生巾。
I love how this season basically became Cat and Mouse between Ben and Scotty, while Adam and Sam are just shinkansening around the map with a worry
actually, it would be rather interesting if you got more points for doing challenges the deeper you are in enemy territory or the closer you are to an enemy player. would add some more risk/reward to the act of sitting right next to the border
Gotta love how the Mario Kart item challenge specifies that the bullet and the bomb do not need to be real, but doesn't say any such thing about the star.
Ben: "I'm full of youthful vigour."
Ben two seconds later: "I'm so tired already."
The whole Hello Kitty thing is hilarious, its the best curse card so far.
adam making a bow out of PADS. has me rolling on the floor
At this point watching jet lag every wednesday has become a weekly tradition for me!
That Scotty/Ben chase sequence was really fun.
I can't imagine how Adam was feeling while wearing the Hello Kitty bow, let's have round of applause for the man! Brave, honestly :)
toilet gang
Toilet gang
Me and the homies waiting for Ben to get drunk somehow
yes
I mean they'll have to cancel the show if he dosent get drunk, so they have no other choice
@@RealGhoda aint no way they cancelling a great show
@@speed95real Its in the T&C of the show man. Also relax, There have to be atleast 5 challenges related to sake, you cant have Japan without some more sake
When Scotty captures the first flag was the best part of this season so far! Love the constant switching and avoiding
"Because I'm young! And filled with... Youthful vigor!" As he begins panting within 30 seconds :). I love Ben!
I will give him the benefit of the doubt and say that his backpack seems very heavy
This was one of my favorite episodes of all jetlag. The back and forth with ben and scotty. The pink bow! Only Adam, who has seemingly 0 shame, could own a massive pink bow like that while getting on public transport.
The back and forth chase between Ben and Scotty was really fun to watch. Ben is not usually a high stakes chaser so it was cool to see him in a different “role” per se. This has probably been the best Jet Lag episode yet!!
this episode has everything....hello kitty...sam being scotty's handler...chicken intestine stew...ben's "youthful vigor" followed by him immediately getting caught...
If Adam waited to do the wave challenge until he got a bit further south he could have gotten double points. He was right next to Kanagawa.
All he needs to do, is walk south across the bridge to Minami-Tama station.
Kanagawa is literally a 10-minute train ride from there.
I was wondering that. His wave doesn't seem so great now, in comparison.
I recently had an Idea for a new season:
Sam had to go to Switzerland in Tag Across Europe but never got there, which made me as a Swiss very sad. So here's the Idea. There is the Board Game Tour of Switzerland (I'm sure that that sort of game exists for other countries as well) In that game you start from a given Point in the country and you have to get to like 6 different locations (by train or Bus), those Location give points after you complete a small place-specific challenge (like the ones in The New Zealand season), but to reach the Location you need coins, in which by doing you normal challenges (like the ones in this Season) or you can buy "event" cards which can: give / take coins / points, force you to go somewhere, and/or to complete a challenge
Forgot to add: You win the Game by Points, the first one back at the start gets bonus points, after that the game ends, the Locations awards points by difficulty of the local challenge, the 6 drawn locations at the start are unique for each team and there arw shared locations which reward points for the first one to arrive there, after that a new shared location is drawn
The only problem is, Switzerland is quite a small country, but what would be cool is if they did it across Europe, or even several continents (one of the locations could still be in switzerland)
@@noskill4510 I actually have that game! It's pretty fun to play!
Just Switzerland seems way too small compared to Tag Across Europe or Capture the Flag Across Japan, especially since Switzerland has so many mountains and there are barely any railways in the south. What I can see is using Switzerland and all bordering countries, namely Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Italy and France. Though tbh, I feel like Austria would be the better choice in this case since it wasn't part of Tag Across Europe and it instead of France, which was extensively covered in Tag Across Europe, it borders Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia; countries that very rarely get any international coverage.
Also, your argument that Switzerland was never reached also applies to the U.K., which was part of the map but never visited, and IIRC also to the Netherlands.
ye and im sad no one went in the netherlands dude
It’s a nice touch how Ben and Adam wore Mario and Luigi hats nearer the beginning, and are now wearing Wario and Waluigi hats.
Always exited for Wednesday 4 p.m. cuz it means another episode of Jet Lag!
25:12 I feel the embarrassment that Hello Kitty has in this moment xD
...I really hope Adam knows his "Hello Kitty" bow was a feminine hygene product and is probably why the guy was staring at him on the train
Endings to episodes like these really make me want to become a Nebula subscriber, that was a cliff hanger and a half!
me too im broke though
But wouldnt that be another cliffhanger after the cliffhanger this video is? lol
When scotty was diverting ben around the middle of the video was awesome. What this show is about, under rated moment
i swear in the next 50 years when we geezers are old enough, in like season 121 we'll be travelling across planets when the whole space thing happens
Instead of jet lag it will be time dilation lag
Scotty escaping Ben is one of the best moments of the episode, it was really satisfying to watch
Not only did Hello Kitty get that bow to stay in their hair but they looked good while doing it. Super impressed. Fantastic episode as always. Thank you guys.
I love how many layers there are! Every episode is like made up of multiple 'battles' for the flag, and so many tactical possibilities!
I as always just love the show, the quality, the creativity, and Ben. Nonetheless I do think it is a bit of a bummer we hardly get to see any of Japan - especially for a travelshow. I am kinda hoping there will be a Pt2 to Jetlag in Japan. Nonetheless Thanks for the show!
in the next episode you'll see quite a bit
They should do Hide and Seek across a city with a lot of rail connections, like London or Singapore
They've sort-of done hide and seek in London with Tom Scott.
Real life Scotland Yard the board game!
@@petertaylor4980 Yeah I watched that, would be cool as a full season!
ayyyyyy been waiting for this, legit found this series by accident and just binged the whole channel
I would love to see one of these in a huge country like Australia
As an Australian/American citizen the problem with Australia would be that the whole inner and western part is desert but maybe they could do the East coast of Australia where most of the population is.
It would be cool to see but it would take way too long to record, unless they had the option for flight which would just make it like all their America seasons
interesting things i didn’t think of. maybe a country like Malaysia would be interesting because each side would get an island though there are some size discrepancies which could lead to issues.
There is unfortunately simply just not enough railway to do something like this. To Darwin in the north and to Perth in the west there is just one railway line each, making predictions what train someone took obvious. And to get from Adelaide (north-west of Melbourne) to Darwin takes literally 42h of train riding...
This is by far my favourite episode so far! The chase between Ben and Scotty was visualized so well and next episode there is a battle going on between Sam and Adam. Can't wait till next week
Isn’t the new Jet Lag video just the highlight of your day?
Normally yes, but today is a close relatives wedding.
This show will never not make me laugh, can't wait for episodes every week!
Those trombone glisses in the Scotty coming after Ben section were great!
I feel like it would have been really funny if Adam ended up using the wave on Sam's shirt as the 'Great Wave' for his challenge, though it would have been hard to accomplish 😂
seeing these vids pop up every week always makes my day, they're so fun to watch ✨
Jet lag... the series that makes every one of us maniacally refresh on thursday.
If by Thursday, you mean Wednesday...unless you're like in Oz...
@@myrddinemrys1332 he could be living in Asia or something , they have got now 24 hour I think
@@nathalie78 Yup korean here. Kinda like oz in a way😉
@@zp6182 wow, so it's really Oz dimension from Europe's Wednesday perspective : O
@@nathalie78Yeah seems like it. Currently on the time of posting its almost 12am, so in korea jetlag is more like a thursday midnight ritual to us
24:42 Gotta love how it just says “Heroine” in the background
Ok this series is continuing to lighten my Wednesday in a way no one has ever done before
Adam being hello kitty is such a mood
I would love to see a season in the UK.
I'm really enjoying this series. Great work!
Woo! Its always exciting when a new episode of jet lag comes out!
Adam's reaction to the cursed card is priceless lmao
Adam wearing a pink bow while going on a trip around Japan isn't something I expect to see
So excited for this episode!
I love how the captions for Adam say Hello Kitty is talking while he's cursed lol
I clicked faster than Ben and Adam capturing the enemy flag
These always make my day better 🤧
I actually adore Ben... "Let's just make sure I'm safe.... Oh."
Always loved your contents!
Jet lag the game- making you're Wednesday’s feel good.
I literally was just started watching this series today, and this episode came out when I was watching the 3rd episode, perfect timing lol
14:20 Here in Spain we have a Pig intestines stew too, and the pig stomach (callos) is delicious!
I think the smarter play for Ben and Adam at the start of this round would have been to travel to the near flag together to not only save coins but while Adam is getting the flag Ben could do challenges just outside the flag safe zone in case he's targeted to avoid getting tagged
Can you please do a game in Seoul,South Korea?
The ability to read Japanese made Adam's Bow that much more funny.
Adam with a pink bow on his head is for sure the cutest thing I've seen for a while.
The ben and scotty chases were so well edited, i'm in awe. had me glued to the screen the entire episode, i loved it!
Hey just an idea, maybe you should try race across italy? I loved the race across new zealand!!
A battle for Europe would be awesome. 😊 Visit the most countries in 100 hours. Incl. population or area bonus …
ben is REALLY good at giving the other team literally all of his points after he works his ass off for them.
I'm watching next week's episode right now and the pure gamesmanship between Adam and Sam right out of the gates is utterly insane. It's like they are in each other's heads.
Man I want to know where he got that Kanagawa Wave sweatshirt, because that thing is cool af. Keep up the great and entertaining content!
Ben already got caught 3 times. What's happening? 😭😭😭😭
Idea for a game: 48 hour chase (or whatever else) across greece. All the islands will be fun and interesting considering you could take trains, busses, taxis and boats.
I am guinely happy that this is always uploaded on wednesday. So I can watch it, als a motivation, because I am done with school for that day
You should do this in Germany. It would be so entertaining watching them deal with all trains being unpredictably late😂
Already happened when they played Tag in Europe, one of them if I remember correctly got caught because of a delayed train. At a train station I was stranded multiple times myself 😂
Trust me, other trains are also late... Come to Canada and ride on the corridor. Never on time. but it is the part of the game.
Adam putting a literal pad on his head i just cant
Excited for the next episode... always on Adam and Ben's team!!!
I just realized something really clever that the graphic designers did, the little bubbles that show them on the map have variants from captured, normal, and flag acquired. Really subtle, and really cool.
Is it ever mentioned if you can have more than 1 flag in you at a time before going back to your side to score?
Who else can't wait until Ben gets drunk?
This series is so adrenaline inducing. I look forward to it every week
I've waited all day for this
