Um, actually, Brennan appeared on one of the test episodes, back when they still used actual bells to ring in. To call this his first appearance is only justified if we deem any game where he loses to be non-canonical
Thank you, I was so confused 😅
This is the way
Well they are non-canonical
um actually i think in that episode he tied and did not technically lose
@@DripTonight Sorry to necropost ya but
um actually, czcams.com/video/AUabsUtAeiw/video.html... he loses
Love that Brennan knows 10 fantasy dragons by appearance but not his neighbouring countrys capital.
10 fantasy dragons but not paarthurnax
@@themoldysausage Or Deathwing... Even for non-Warcraft players he is a pretty iconic figure
@@CapOfXav I'll be honest I thought that picture of Deathwing was Ancalagon the Black (from Lord of the Rings).
@@CapOfXav ghidora's iconic golden form is older than most of us so I'm fairly certain if given enough time he would have recognized more of them
I love that Adam's entire show and persona was based around "Um, actually"-ing people, and he got absolutely crushed.
"As those Jedi were saying the other day, mind control is good and we all like it" is quite possibly the funniest bit in this entire show
also plo koon uses a version of force lightning
@@oreoeater6615 And if it makes anyone feel better, the Sith use a much worse form of mind control.

Siobahan calling every other dragon "dragon" has got me crying with laughter.
Brennan’s humble origins. Literally, he is so humble in this episode.
And was still the winner
He wrote the episode of course he would win
@@raulalmaraz1397 He didn't write it.
Get in the comments
@@ElPayasoMalo You didn't say 'um actually'
"This doesn't feel good" definitely foreshadows Brennan's later "I just want to feel again."
LORE?
oh my 999 likes, feels bad to like and feels bad to not like
@@tjknight It’s part of his “I just want to not lose” competitive lore
literally came from that video... so yup can confirm xD
Hey, ya break the rules, ya don’t get the points. Brennan took that fair and square.
Siobhan calling every dragon “dragon” is so underrated and I couldn’t stop laughing
and even though it didn't work, i'd say it's a solid strategy. A lot of dragons are in fact just called Dragon.
@@peterstangl8295 Or at least something like red dragon, storm dragon, ancient dragon.
As an avid Terry Pratchett reader, I feel it's important to say that the witches can also see octarine.
As a fellow Pratchett enjoyer, it's more important to say that actually -everyone- can see Octarine as when you close your eyes those colour bursts are actually the Colour of Magic.
And DEATH can probably see it too, right?
@@antonindvorak6479 well yes, but I felt that was redundant
Um Actually no witches appear in the book mentioned "The Colour of Magic"
Fairly certain the gods in litigation with the frost giants could see octarine if they ever bother to look down from yelling over the fence.
Um, actually, Otto's Irresistible dance isn't a spell of questionable utility, it in fact slaps hard
I couldn't agree more.
Seriously, Otto's Irresistable Dance is one of the best crowd-control spells at higher levels. Sure, it is range: touch, but it doesn't allow a save. That's crazy good to lock down an enemy caster.
Taako used it in like, every live show.
Ok tumblr
Seriously, that spell is dopd
Adam accidentally saying a slur is an underrated CH moment
“No, I guess that’s sort of a color, but it’s also racist and NOT the color of magic.”
Wait is that a real thing though??? Racists made a term THAT SPECIFIC to insult people with 1/8 black ancestry?? Is there also one for 1/64th??
@@danatronics9039 look up spain's racial caste system. It's not specifically to insult but is a term used in a legal framework that is entirely racist and bears its weight. Like Quadroon too.
@@Souledex blackamoore and mulato well. A good litmus test to see if someone’s a racist is if people know and use old timey racist slurs, because only hard core racists really know them and use them. Unless you’re a historian.
@@Kaanfight That depends, in Brazil people will say Mulatto to describe people, but I think there's also probably language differences, like I think it's the same as saying mixed ancestry in the US. Not 100% sure though.
Brennan makes a good point about DnD.
I used to have this DM who told me that the best trick he ever learned was that he would sometimes have players roll to do something that he plans on letting happen anyway, because it would be better as a satisfying moment to the player, and if you were to roll something like a NAT 1, instead you would be given something like a consequence later on as opposed to simply failing spectacularly.
He said this approach makes every awesome or tragic moment that much more impactful and fulfilling to the players over taking a hard stance on rolling for everything, and later makes the effect of the NAT 1 that much more punishing, and can set up interesting scenes later down the line (let's say you wanna... catch a falling princess, then roll a 1, you still save the princess but you break your arm/leg in the process. E.g. Tasked failed successfully, or you're captured by the antagonist, or poisoned, etc etc)
I dub it the "Butterfly Rule", because often it feels kind of like an in-game butterfly effect.
Now al I can think of is Sam carrying Frodo all the up the mountain only to then fall over screaming because he tore a back muscle
Turning nat 1s into later consequences is such an awesome way to let players off for unlucky rolls, while also turning them into a much more interesting roll than "you fail", without being needlessly punishing. It'll also feed into a sense of dread after they roll a few nat 1s, and they start worrying about what's gonna happen, and then you pull out Gethekriax the Unbound and everything goes to shit.
I can remember a few GM's in ye olden days who insisted on the "Oh wait a minute, you said you bought a back pack, you didn't buy a backpack STRAP, therefore you can't wear your backpack and all your food is ruined!!!""
Ain't nobody got time for that shit.
@@fugitiveunknown7806 Good thing most of these micromanagement GMs aren't a thing anymore (and that the rules are a bit less strict about having to gather/carry reageants, except the rarer ones, the super common ones are assumed to be carried at all time)
I let my players use Rule of Cool only if they burn inspiration, which I also give out for roleplaying - it's to give more concrete and tangible meaning to their roleplaying beyond just telling a good story.
Um, actually, this is the start of Brennan's villain arc, in this episode he's like "This feels bad to make such a dirty move" and now he's all like "I will use every fibre of my soul and being to prevail in any contest"
The beginning of Brennan's reign
Long may he reign
Is this an old episode? I was so confused cause I’m like, he’s won like 3 or 4 games?
Pinkast Shine bright circus man.
Even if he doesn't ask, we will always be here in the comments for you, Brennan!
Siobhan got robbed!
I already went into this episode expecting Brennan was going to win, and then as he announced it was Brennan's first time I realized that they're in for a RIDE.
The King has entered, bow peasants.
Really he got one dirty point off Siobhan at the beginning taking the answer from her missed "um, actually". Else they'd be tied. Not a RIDE for her
I love that a spell magically creates food, and also lets you clean up the kitchen you didnt use because of the spell
i mean if it exclusively cleans the kitchen you should also eat in there
it summons food but it doesnt summon dishes. you would still need to wash the plates and bowls and utensils afterwards
@@pumpkin_pants3828 Note to self, always make sure the table is clean.. wait does it summon gravy and/or soups, drink in thin air?
As a Canadian, I nearly threw my phone with rage when the last question came up. Thanks for saving it Siobhan.
I dunno, I always find it hilarious. Maybe because I also give no shits about US geography.
But also maybe because I remember "Talking to Americans" being on TV. We did get some payback. The national animal of Canada will always be the Timbit.
I wonder how serious Adam's answer was. Calgary isn't even the capital of the province it's in! He seemed shocked that he got the question wrong, though...
@@ideitbawxproductions1880 he was shocked because he successfully named a city that was actually in canada
😅
I’m an American--Texan, to be specific-- and I want to stress that when I was younger, I made a point of learning all the capital cities of the world, as well as all the various states/provinces/prefectures, etc.
But, for the most part there’s been no useful application for all that memorizing. It amounted to a bunch of trivia, much of which I’ve forgotten again. I forgot what the capital city of Canada was, simply because it wasn’t particularly useful for me to know. Does that make me ignorant?
What makes me extra sad is that the subtitles spell Ottawa wrong! How rude is that, eh?
This episode of Adam ruins everything: Adam ruins his chances at winning.
I haven't seen Adam get stomped so hard since his appearance on Joe Rogan
@@andrewcook2625 Did he really get stomped by Joe "Ivermectin" Rogan? Or did the host just have more conviction over his incorrectness?
@@romxxii no he got stomped, Rogan had facts and stats while Adam kept falling back on logical fallacies for his arguements
Also the fact you think Joe Rogan being prescribed a cocktail of medications one being Ivermectin (which even the cnn medical expert admitted was valid) is some kind of valid reason to "debunk" his arguements speaks very poorly about you and your ability to use critical thinking, so please next time make a valid claim or just ask a question not seeping with bias
@@andrewcook2625 it's easy to pretend you have "facts and logic" and back an unprepared guest into a corner. Hell, that's Ben Shapiro's entire modus operandi. Why do you think he keeps debating unprepared college kids instead of actual experts?
It's also really easy to fudge statistical data, like how a common tactic on alt right "news" sites to claim that climate change isn't real is by presenting a short span of glacial ice recovering as evidence, when a longer span of data for _multiple_ ice sheets would show a steady decline over the decades.
And finally, don't pretend Rogan hasn't been harmful to the United States' vaccination drive. And no, just because he got a prescription for Ivermectin as "a cocktail of drugs" doesn't make things better, or change the fact that even human-grade Ivermectin is _still_ not cleared by any medical agency, even in countries that are allegedly doing mass Ivermectin drives disguised as "de-worming" campaigns.
The fact is:
- Ivermectin is _not_ cleared for use against COVID-19 by the FDA
- current and _multiple_ double-blind clinical trials have not gone well in favor of ivermectin as a COVID drug (see www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/tables/ivermectin-data/)
- Merck, the company that _sells_ Ivermectin, has repeatedly said "don't fucking use this for COVID" and have started working on a different antiviral drug, currently in testing
@@romxxii so first on Rogans podcast they pull up sites and sources for each persons claims not just in favor of Joe, so anyone worth their salt would do some very basic research on the topics Joe told them beforehand they were going to talk about as well as research on the topic they want to talk about as the guest has more control over the conversation... Adam didn't do this and it cost him, that simple
Also Joe brings on actual experts all the time
Fudging data is common tactic for all "news" sites so don't pretend it's only one group at fault for that... and trying to paint it only as an issue on the "alt" right makes it sound like you are trying to paint Joe as an "alt" right figure... again painting you in a very bias light
To the Joe hurt vax drive in the US, if one dude running a podcast ruins your nations vax drive then that shows how terribly you are marketing your vacations... maybe next time dont make your drive a large shame tactic campaign to force people to get vacation
See Joe didn't actually hurt the drive, the political games and tactics used by the government and medai did, you just want a scapegoat over accepting that maybe the insults and bias weren't the right way to handle the masses
to the covid-19 treatment, that has nothing to do with the conversation, Joe never said Ivermectin was a cure for covid so you trying to make it out like he did is just childish, maybe actually watch his podcast where he talks with cnn's medical expert who openly admitted Joe was being miss treated by the medai
Lastly merck said stop using it because people where going out to stores and buying animal grade drugs and self prescribing, merck was covering their ass for potential lawsuits... but this again means nothing as Joe was prescribed by a licensed physician to take the drug, so clearly you are arguing you know better than the doctor (much like how the anti-vax people think they know better than the doctor)
I find it extremely hilarious that Adam Connover, the man who kind of essentially started this whole trend of nerds correcting modern myths on CH, got only 2 points
I think if our boy didn’t spend too much time in the green room before coming on, he’d be fine. 😅
dude is having a bit of correctile dysfunction
well he was against god and a british person so he had less of a chance
and one of them was a dnd question he somehow managed to get over brennan
@@bengraven Yeah dude is toasted
Um, actually, Spirited Away's Dragon is not Haku, that is is slave name given to him when Yubaba steals his memories and identity to serve her. The point of the movie's plot is that Chihiro reminds Haku that he is the Spirit of a River; the Kohaku River. And is from then on properly addressed as Kohaku
Um, actually… her name was Sen when she helped him remember who he was.
Boom, beat you at your own game!
@@pseudotasuki um actually chihiro remembered her name before haku’s name is revealed, as shown when she tells yubaba’s twin her real name before leaving with Haku
@@ashleychen9025 Dangit!
I heard him say Kohaku, but my Um Actually was It's Kohaku River, Soo gg
I'm here 2 years later to say that Adam calling Octarine "octaroon" is the most hilarious thing I've seen today and thanks for that 😂
I was not expecting it and I doubled over 😂
Was no one else surprised that none of them got Groundhog Day? That was an incredibly obvious answer to me, and I've never even seen the movie
Same, I haven't seen it and I thought that was blindingly obvious
I actually thought that was Harry Potter Prisoner of Azkaban
I honestly though at least one of them had to get it! I didn't remember if that was the correct day but it's still SO OBVIOUS 😲
Same. Really surprised no one got it.
I love it, by the way. If you like Bill Murray in any capacity, I really recommend it.
I was astonished that no-one got Groundhog Day... but then I also thought the last one was the Stargate SG-1 Episode "1969" :p
Nothing makes me happier than Adam’s hubris being completely crushed in this episode.
at 21:15 when Adam says, "they never say the name" it sounds like he's about to cry, lol. I think this loss really hurt him
The idea of Samwise rolling a nat 1 on his athletics check to pick up Frodo, and accidentally snapping his neck instead is just hilarious to me.
Adam calling Spike, Dorgax the Eternal, gets me every time.
Um, Actually, Adam shouldn't have cocktails before taping. Visibly sauced.
I commented this after you and I wish I would’ve waited to see the several comments that mention this, but I am also glad that other people notice this as well.
Sadly didn’t realize that until the end. Explains why he did so bad 😅
I’ve watched this before and never even noticed how he was drunk..... kinda just makes me sad now
Adam really does ruin everything.
Holy shit lol, he is sauced by the end. He definitely had them just before taping.
Adam: let me just score zero points, then accidentally use a slur. #winning
Hahaha I couldn’t believe it!
at what point does he say a slur?
@@sanoban 10:25
He was drunk right?
He scored 1
the way Brennan just screamed "Siobhan NO" was really funny to me for some reason
(16:45)

Why... I like adam.... He's funny and has a good show...
@@AceFace350his show is pretentious and wildly misleading
@@spamreciever4208 really?
@@AceFace350 yes
@@spamreciever4208 it's supposed to be pretentious because it's essentially um actually in non-gameshow form. I will admit I haven't watched it in a LONG TIME, but I distinctly remember an episode where they correct all the errors made in episodes before it. Also, consider the fact it is definitely not scripted by Adam... he is just a partially nerdy actor who wanted to make light of himself being viewed as annoying by making an annoying character.
I am a simple creature. I see Brennan Lee Mulligan, I click.
My favorite. Hands down. He earns it EVERYTIME. His Game Changers are some of their best content. The Hamburger queen.... just... haunting.
We need Brennan, Siobhan, and Matt Mercer on an episode. that would be so epic! Great episode!
It would have to be a special 2 hour episode.
I want to see Brendan verse I think it was Jeremy (?) the fan in a battle of the Titans!
This is just such a transparent insult to someone but yeah I agree
@@ralek592 nobody's expected to beat 2 of the goats of the game
no matter how badly adam lost, watching him go up against brennan was a spectacle from start to finish
Very late to the party but here's my Um, Actually: The Fifth Element was heavily inspired by the comic Valerian & Laureline (formerly known as Valerian) because Besson's goal was to adapt it when he started the project. However he didn't get the rights until decades later so he ended up having to change some parts of it.
I was wondering when someone was going to point this out! Lol like there are some frame that are the exact panels from the comics
And notably, he did end up making an actual adaptation.
I thought The Fifth Element ripped off 'The Incal' after all Moebius the artist for that series attempted to sue Luc Besson on the grounds of extreme similarity.
And wasn't it was Star Wars that was supposedly 'very similar' to Valerian?
@@Quotheraving Moebius didn't sue, his editor did, Moebius actually worked on 5th Element XD (which is why the sueing didn't stick).
Both were, Millenium Falcon is like 99% like the ship from Valerian). But aside from that it's more lie...Inspiration.
Meanwhile Besson wanted to do an actual adaptation and ended up basically making an AU Fanfic because of his lack of rights. Which is ironic for a lot of fans because a lot of us consider the 5th element to be a better adaptation than the actual movie Valerian (in the tone and kind of story told).
@@celia1888 Thanks for the clarification..
Yeah I knew there had been legal action of some kind and had heard it was related to Moebius. As it turns out Jodorowsky blamed Moebius for the lawsuit failing because he worked for Besson.
However, as to both films being inspired by Valerian I'm calling bull on that.
The similarities between Star Wars & Valerian are superficial at best.
For example you cite the Falcon as being a 99% lift from Valerian whereas in reality the design we see on screen was made by the production staff with the only input from Lucas being allegedly "Make it more like a burger".
There's obviously been some inspiration but it came via the design team working to a very tight deadline (2 and a half months) and only involves 2 design elements, the saucer shape (see previous explanation for this) and the side fins, so one design element out of literally dozens!
I sense a great disturbance in the straws, as if they are being grasped at by Valerian fans!
Let's face it If there is any obviously heavy 'inspiration' going on in Star Wars it's from Kurosawa's 'Hidden Fortress', Dune, Lensmen, Campbell & Flash Gordon.
The 5th element on the other hand bears marked similarities to the Incal (and my point still stands) sufficient for a lawsuit to be filed.
Um, actually, the fourth dragon from the left (from Spirited Away) is named Kohaku River. Haku is the name that was forced on him by Yubaba to steal his real name and bind him to his employment contract.
Um, actually, the actual name is Nigihayami Kohakunushi,
Thank you! I came here to say this as well. Although I understand why the show hosts would also accept his deadname for identification purposes.
I just want to say, that in the spirit of the game, yes, being more accurate is better. But there being a more correct answer doesn't make saying he's named 'Haku' incorrect, as that is a name that he is called also.
Brennan at least called him Kohaku.
Welcome to "Adam knows nothing!"
Dude Ottos Irresistible Dance is an insanely good spell. The target provokes attacks of opportunity on each of its turns. So you effectively get to attack the target twice every round and they can't move or fight back. It's an insanely good spell against creatures with low will saves.
Also there's no initial saving thrown. It just happens.
Um, Actually, having magical abilities can be a mutation, as the mutant Pixie has a mutation that grants her a strong connection to magical forces, allowing her to easily use magic.
Um, actually it's just "the Jabberwock," not "the Jabberwocky." "Jabberwocky is the title of the poem itself.
Um, actually, and for no additional points "The Jabbawockeez" are a popular and talented break dance crew that is known for wearing masks during their routines.
It's a mistake that appears in the 2010 film itself (AND IT FRUSTRATES ME SO MUCH AAAARGH).
I literally just got done posting the same correction. It makes me genuinely happy for someone else to know the same fantasy poetry fact as me. I'm so proud of you!
Brennan, if not the show, actually got that one right
@@schrodingersbraincell5861 I think everyone got that right except the host. I thought it was Jabberwocky and thought everyone was gonna get that one wrong
Um actually. Otto's irresistible dance is unquestionably an amazing spell. Nothings feels better than beating a kraken because it's just vibing with its tentacles swing in the air
Haha I shouted that exact thing, but by slide 3 I thought the yak man thing was more wrong
Anyone who thinks Otto's Irresistible Dance is useless is the same kind of player that thinks that anything that doesn't deal big damage is useless.
@@KarlEller the best thing is that there is no save for the first round. You are guaranteed atleast one round of effect.
Also it is hilarious as hell.
Technically, while it does fit with the X-Men motif of naming yourself X-something, X-23 was named because she was the first success after 22 failed experiments, making her name more akin to Xperiment-23. She was called X-23 well before joining the X-Men.
Nope. Because Logan was experiment 10, and was called Weapon X. So one of those had to be contrived.
Did X23 ever actually join the X men?
Adam's disappointment in himself absolutely makes this episode
It’s hilarious finding “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” in college used book stores and libraries, because the label taped to the side often reads “Do Androids Dream of Electric Dick”
Do they, though?
Siobhan is one of my favorite contestants. Especially for telling Adam he's an asshole nonchalantly to his face. She's also great in other episodes and it's my life goal for the spelling of her name to be in trivia (anywhere) cuz it's very interesting and I've memorized the spelling.
Ooh yes that was a lovely moment! So good that someone said it.
Adam clearly did not take well to getting outbuzzed by Siobhan and Brennan on stuff he also knew. Especially the Blood Elf one where Siobhan got it on the technicality but he had the extremely pedantic answer.
@@romxxii Yeah, Adam behaved weirdly in this episode.
@@loseftheman9474 Nah, this is pretty much Adam. He made "Adam Ruins Everything" based on the fact that his pedantry usually turns people off. They just tweak his character on his show a bit to make him feel just a tad less offensive.
She wasn't calling him an asshole nor using the word in that sense - she was describing the humorous bullshitting he'd been doing
"Brennan this will be your first time appearing on the game" AND A LEGEND WAS BORN
Brennan having a conniption fit about Mortal Combat made my day.
Um, actually, it's mortal kombat
me at start of video: "adam's not slurring as much as before, maybe he's not drunk!"
me after seeing adam's handwriting: "well..."
Well he did end up saying a slur in this episode
"This is actually really hard." - cuts to Brennan scribbling answers down as fast as he possibly can
My disappointment in the dragon question is immeasurable.
Because NOBODY FRICKING KNEW SPIKE.
Also glad to hear that it was Parthanax, because it means that I in fact WAS able to recognize him through the tiny picture in my tiny screen.
And the fact that only Brennan got Toothless has now ruined my day.
(Other than that, this was great)
Yeah. I'm not sure if it's in fact worse that Brennan mixed up its name with Twilight Sparkle's. But it surprised me noone actually got it.
Um actually, Vader actually can use force lightning! He uses a red storm version of it in Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi where he bypasses the need to direct the lightning through his body by creating a storm above his victim. He also used a solid white version in the Legends book "the Jedi Path" by using a Kyber Crystal to protect his animatronic body (or perhaps become so attuned with the dark side that he used force lightning anyway even knowing it might kill him). In fact, Vader is so skilled in Force lightning, he was able to teach it to others, including starkiller, and can easily absorb or redirect any force lightning other sith may try to use on him.
The fact that none of them got Groundhog Day is really upsetting
"that's the white male spirit!" Y'ALL I CAN'T
Brennan’s first episode…..the start of his never ending saga of wins
10:20 I'm black, and that "octoroon" moment had me rolling 😂
i don't really care about what they're talking about but the fact that Brennan knows so much is so impressive... and maybe sexy? not sure yet
Definitely sexy. No need to pretend you're unsure.
He cheated on the second question
Its sexy because of his surname
Um, actually…both. it’s both impressive AND sexy
I know it’s way too late but I’ll throw my hat in the ring. Um Actually, X-23 isn’t named to go with an X theme. She named X-23 because she was the 23rd attempt at cloning Weapon X (Wolverine), who was called Weapon X because he was the 10th (Roman numeral X) weaponized mutant created by the Weapon Plus Program.
The X in X-23 has also been explained that the Y-chromosome from Wolverine was degrading over time and was replaced with a fresh X-chromosome to explain why X-23 is a girl.
Christian Boehlefeld O.o that’s cool! I hadn’t heard that one before
Um actually that may be the reason in the comics, but the reason in the real world is because X-Men have an x thing
It’s also just her name, not an alias, isn’t it?
@@drowninafire Depends on who you ask? At some point, I'm pretty sure they revealed her name is technically Laura Kinney. If I remember right, her biological mother was the scientist who made her, Dr Kinney, and before she died she told X-23 that her name was Laura.
Although probably much less known, there is an episode of Stargate SG-1 (season 2, ep. 21) that also perfectly fits the last of the time travel graphs.
17:44 Um, actually, Scorpion was never a member of the "Ice Ninja" clan, aka Sub-Zero's clan the Lin Kuei. Scorpion was a member of the Shirai Ryu clan. The two clans were rivals, which ultimately culminated in the elder Sub-Zero (Bi-Han) killed Scorpion. The reason why Scorpion did not transform into a scorpion for his Animality is because he was not playable in the original Mortal Kombat 3 game. Sheeva was in the base game with the scorpion animality, so when Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 released with an expanded roster (including Scorpion and Reptile, who were not in the original game) they were given some awkward animal transformations.
This also gets at what I thought the "Um Actually" was going to be, which is that there were no Animalities in "Mortal Kombat" as they did not appear until the Third game.
No surprise that Brennan won, but good on Siobhan for keeping it that close. One remembered "Um Actually" and they would've tied!
Also, the Animality discussion made me spit cereal out of my nose.
Hey Adam, um actually Scorpion was never an ice ninja, which would imply that he was a member of the Lin Kuei. He was a member of a rival clan, the Shirai Ryu.
THANK YOU
Um, actually, the Shirai Ryu were originally part of the Lin Kuei and splintered off from them after the original Takeda (not Takeda Takahashi) decided to form his own clan. We also don't know _when_ the split happened, so it's entirely possible that Scorpion was a member of the Lin Kuei before the Shirai Ryu. Furthermore, the Lin Kuei have nothing to do with Bi-Han's, Kuai Liang's, or Frost's powers; they inherited those powers by being part Cryomancer, so it's entirely possible that Hanzo could have had similar powers before he died, even though he wasn't Lin Kuei. He didn't, but his clan has nothing to do with that.
@@RabblesTheBinx although the lin kuei that reformed after kuai liang was removed from quan chi’s control was based mostly in cryomancy as the primary ability
Um actually, scorpion does turn into a scorpion in a fatality in mortal Kombat 4.
Adam saw into the future and predicted MK1
I LOVED this episode! Also Siobhan’s hair is STUNNING!
LMFAO I lost it when Adam did the dragons.
Um actually, “I’d like to say that this is very fun and I like this” perfectly describes my thoughts about Um actually. I’m still waiting for the home version Trapp mentioned in an interview last year, I google the home version every 2 months to see if anything’s been announced.
I'd buy that. I doubt my friends are nerdy enough to play though.
GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!
You better believe I joined the Kickstarter in the first 6 hours.
Um actually Vader can and has used force lightning but due to his mechanical arms it is incredibly dangerous to him and nearly killed him when he did it.
I recall him using a Force ball lightning attack in Alan Dean Foster's "Splinter of the Mind's Eye", but when did he use actual bolt lightning?
That time-line question was amazing 💜
Nobody knew just how destructive Brennan's mind would be yet lmao
Adam's knowledge in this means clearly Adam can't ruin EVERYTHING.
"You don't want to be like those Harry Potter kids who know magic, but don't know math or how to write an essay." Man, that hits differently coming back to this after Misfits & Magic 😂
Brennan's immediate laser focus when Trapp said "tabletop games" for the first question
Um actually I've only just found this series but I think siobhan may be simultaneously the coolest person I've ever seen and the nerdiest thus disproving the Emily Axford theory although I leave this up to interpretation
"I don't know if I won, but let's just say I did" hits *different* in Nov 2020 hahah
So this means that Brennan takes over Adam's show and it is now "Brennan Ruins Everything While Wearing Adam's Head as a Hat!", right?
"2 men enter, 1 man leaves." They never mention women so I figure she is safe.
yeah but the new name of the show will be: "Brennan makes everything better"
@@svevo Instead of taking something people like and explaining why they shouldn’t, he takes some obscure property and rambles on for the entire episode on why they should get into it
What surprises me the most is that he got parthanax right but couldn’t recognize death wing
I love that this is Brennan's first appearance as a contestant on the show
This is the Adam Gets Cancelled episode
Adam Gets Drunk as hell
I've said this once, I'll say it a million times, I am lowkey crushing on Siobhan
Most attractive college humour cast member ever
Who isn't?
It ain't lowkey
Oh, Is that how it’s spelled? I always thought it was Shavan or something.
@@LemonMoon yup
The start of Brennan’s Legend
I’m watching these out of order bc I just discovered them, but I feel so proud when I play along at home and get more right than Brennan. I got 13 dragons (and would’ve possibly gotten two more if they were bigger than my cell phone screen).
16:22 Um actually force choke and telekinesis are different techniques, as telekinesis is a neutral power but force choke requires one to draw on the dark side. Also Vader is depicted using force lightening in his 2018 comic series, although things were a bit visiony there. It's likely he can't use it normally. So which canon Vader can't use force lightening is legends
Pretty sure Luke uses force chokes on the green "orc" looking dudes in episode VI when going to rescue Han.
@@xilliaz The Gamorean, you're right. But Luke was leaning on the dark side at the time.
I don't know how canon they count as, but Vader is stated to be unable to use Force Lightning as a lamentation by Palpatine when he finds him lying on the lava bank with his other arm removed in the novelization for Episode 3.
Um actually, “People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually form a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.”
I was looking for this comment
Wow. These older episodes were cut so much tighter, with less room for the digressions that make the series so fun. But, still, it was nice to seen Brennan's first (official) game.
they're all so young here and i love each and every one of them
Um, actually, while "Deathwing" is a moniker he later gives himself, the dragon's true name is Neltharion, who was the Aspect of the Black Dragonflight before being corrupted by the Old Gods. Iknow it's way, way, way too late at this point, but I couldn't help but notice that no one has made this point, and I kind of can't help it.
I made a correction too, being that KoHaku is not actually a dragon, but yeah it's way too late.
Um, actually, the image depicts him at the end stages of his madness, at this point he has fully taken the name Deathwing, no longer responding to or viewing himself as Neltharion.
The change of name became solidified when he took the power of the Dragon Soul, transforming him into Deathwing, which in the same event was renamed to the Demon Soul.
So ultimately either name is correct, for while his true name is Neltharion, he later fully takes the name Deathwing and rejects the name Neltharion. Either name is correct when talking about the entity unless specifying a specific period in time before or after his transformation.
Um, Actually this isn't Brennan's first time appearing on the game. He appeared the first time on episode 6 titled "Um, Actually Ep. 6: Monsters, Moogles, and Side Mirrors" and have appeared a total of four times.
Um, Actually, this is an episode from 2018, as evidenced by the tweets from the correction section.
Um, Actually the correct spelling is has appeared, not "have".
Roberto Fuentes Um Actually, that’s grammar, not spelling
@@DesolateFields this episode have tweets from 2018, while Ep.6 have tweets from 2017. Ep.6 was also filmed in the old set, while this episode is filmed in the new set. Ep.6 was also still in the game show's early format, only containing 1 shiny question instead of 3, and are shorter than the recent formats (~10 minutes long instead of ~20 minutes long).
i don't have dropout, so i don't know for sure which episode came out first, but from the evidence i just gave it seems to me like Ep.6 was Brennan's actual debut in Um, Actually. Although, is it possible that they used to record/release different videos/versions for youtube and dropout??? because im kinda confuse how Trapp, the behind the scenes crew, and Brennan himself didn't realize that this wasn't Brennan's first Um, Actually. (i know that they probably just didn't care, but still. lol)
@@pseudonymous6921 I think they basically don't really see the pre dropout episodes as real episodes of the show as they were much shorter and less polished
Wow this was a really good episode
I've just started watching um actually a couple weeks ago, and been binging these out of order and wow... Brennan's origins
Groundhog Day is the only one I knew instantly. I'm surprised none of the players got it.
Adam ruins a lot of things but he cant ruin Brennan's need to win at EVERYTHING
I love whoever included trogdor in the dragon game, 1 point to them.
Literally the only dragon whose name I knew. I would have been _pissed_ if Trogdor hadn’t been included!
This has to be the best 'Um, Actually' episode ever
The best part of the last question was that anyone with a general knowledge of Canada's political landscape would lose it (as I did, it was a hell of a laugh) at Adam saying Calgary is the capital of Canada.
Yes but in a very real way Calgary should be Canada’s capital.
@@893049004
Hell no.
I laughed so hard coming from Edmonton
Um, actually Americans like them apparently don't know basic facts about their neighbors(sic) to the north lol
They should have had Jeremy Beramy the Good place time line.
It's funny to see this be his first appearance after watching his win streak that comes later
The background seemed right to me the first time i watched one of these episodes, then after seeing that mortal kombat logo all the other inaccuracies stood out and now i wanna bleach my eyes.
I love Brennan. He’s such a wholesome nerd
Um, Actually, you can have magic as a mutation, or at least reality bending powers that manifest as magic. Both Magik and the Scarlet Witch are mutants whose mutation is a magic ability.
um, actually, magik’s mutant power is teleportation and she just happens to also be a sorceress. scarlet witch’s mutant power began as probability manipulation before she too learned sorcery; however, her powers were changed by a demon(i think) to be the ability to wield magic.
@@nathanaeleeeeee Scarlet Witch learned magic from Agatha Harkness.
I love how I genuinely couldn’t tell between Adam’s joke dragon names and their actually names
Um, actually: although Fifth Element is not directly based off of a comic book, it is heavily inspired by Jean-Claude Mézières' Valérian and Laureline comics as well as Jean "Moebius" Giraud and Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Incal. So much so Jodorowsky sued Besson, but because Moebius worked on the Fifth Element it was thrown out.
"Heavily inspired by" doesn't count as a direct adaptation though.
@@romxxii it started as a direct adaptation and Besson just made it an Alternative Universe and changed the names to not get a lawsuit because he ended up not getting the rights. It's still very much an adaptation, just not an official one.
10:14 Um, actually, Brennan, the Hogwarts students very often had to write essays for classes. These essays just happened to be written on parchment and were about magic, but they were still essays
I feel real proud of myself that I actually knew two of the dragons no one got right. I recognized Fin Fang Foom and Lockheed from the comics
Adam over here doing the classically nerdy thing of, "I may be a huge nerd, but at least I don't do _____."
As an Albertan, Adam guessing that the capital of Canada is Calgary was hilarious.
Also, I can’t believe none of them got Groundhog Day!
