Gambit explaining the aerodynamics of a gyro is the best thing I've seen all year
it’s tough cause the meat’s floppy...
@@luminoustorus548 requires rigid meat
Professor X can relate to floppy meat
i thought he said euro, like coins.
Magic the gathering is quite a fitting card for him 😆 explosive magic.
He kills it with the accents. This french accent, and nightcrawler's german accept were spot on.
Harry Flashman Dude, right? I haven't seen any version of Gambit where he actually sounds Cajun. It's really good! 😁
First off still watching in 2019. Secondly, gambit isn’t french, he is from New Orleans which was a former french colony before they were purchased by us in 1803. So a New Orleans American accent with a little french touch.
@@tukoman78 So he's French
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess no French people are from France he's from the US. He's of French descent. As we say in America "what's your nationality?"
Cajun accent doesn't sound french dude
“Throws stuff” is literally the super power of one of the Umbrella Academy guys 😂
Diego
Greg Beyrent trajectory manipulation yes
Wow is just happend to start watching Umbrella Academy today and saw your comment 😂
Mr. Doctor it’s very good
It’s funny both him and gambit are my favorite of each teams
His power isn't throwing stuff, it's turning anything he touches into a fucking bomb
Isn't it just metal? Or is it everything?
Why would he have cards if it was just metal.
He still has to throw it lol
Lmfao gambit and morph top fav
So.. he throws stuff, then.
"you're fired"
"Nooo"
My favorite part of the whole thing
Mine too 😂
1:43
"Can you throw a Magic the Gathering card?" Had me dead Lol
"Yeah its kinda fitting"
upvote only because someone say mtg, lol
@@NovusIgnis comedic genius that easily went over ppl heads
Don’t you throw that black lotus GAMBIT!!!
When you have an Omega level mutant power, but people think you just throw cards 🙃
He’s not quite omega level.. he could be
@@christaggart5687 Exactly. But he too cool for that. 😂 I guess the proper term would be “Omega Level Potential”. Still though.
He is not omega level but he is considered potential omega level
he is Omega level, ah okay that was a joke.
Powerlevels are bullshit!
Xavier literally stop him halfway through explaining his powers, that was the whole point, everybody complaining "but Gambit can..." is doing exactly what Gambit was trying to do in the skit
Well he did a shit job of it
He did a poor job by doing it exactly how this type of joke is done.
But Gambit can honestly do quite a number of things and they are not all discussed here. They just take his main feats and jab at it then jeer him out. What's the point? Dude really can do much more. Lol.
@@5Othniel7_Selah except did Kevin, gambit was explaining all the thi gs he could do, but Xavier stopped him and continued criticize him from the perspective of a casual x men. What you're doing is the equivalent of looking at a comedic parody of a franchise, and complaining that it doesn't get everything right.
I'm a huge fan of Gambit since he first appeared in X-men comics.
The whole point if the skit is
PROFESSOR X IS BEING A COMPLETE ASSHOLE
fans ruin everything with whiney nitpicking, it's supposed to be a joke not an exposition for the sake of nerd fantasies
"So you throw stuff"
"Yeah i trow it...i trow it really hard
"Get out of here before I melt your brain."
Sorry Xavier, but Gambit's mutation makes him immune to telepaths with a static shield. Get owned.
lol nice
XAVIER GET SHREKT
Hodan Osman Wrong it wasn't his mutation dumbass it was mr. Sinister that put a chip in his brain so Gambit powers were able to be controllable as well as it blocks psychic attacks. Get Owned
Hodan Osman Actually when Xavier has tried to read Gambits mind he said it was difficult (Trying to hold onto a snake dipped in oil" whatever thats like) and further examining would cause discomfort for both, so Xavier just can't tell what he's thinking. Gambit is actually more likely to have his mind melted than a normal Mutant.
Freshie207 mainly cause of sinister
Even after all these years, I love how he went French instead of Cajun.
His gloves are the apparel equivalent of typing : "lIkE tHiS!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Direct contact with the object is required in order to imbue it with boom boom stuff similar to how Rogue's touch of death works.
This was sadly low key low quality.
@@oTurkish13x Anybody who types kekw I imagine is wearing gloves like this.
Marvel fact #32: Gambit invented the middle out algorithm after getting fired from X-men
Venu GOPAL JOSHI was curious if that was him thanks for confirming
I watched this a million times before, but didn't realize it was him until this one time right now.
I love Silicon Valley, but Tom is funnier as pretty much everything other than Richard.
It's Richard!!
HAHAHAHA pied piper for the win!
The ending should have been Gambit turning the desk into a bomb.
Funny enough, the bigger object, the bigger the blast. The cards are just super convenient and non lethal to average humans.
KILLER QUEEN HAS ALREADY TOUCHED THAT DESK!
Hippie Hippo it’s good to hit from a distance and knock people back
Corey Eck GOD DAMN IT HE REALLY IS KILLER QUEEN
Bitta the dusto
I love these segments and after all these years I keep coming back. Having said that: Gambit is genuinely OP as hell. If you're fighting the guy in melee combat, he can touch you and literally turn your t-shirt into a short-fuse bomb.
I think your one of the only people commenting here that got the point
Or just touch you and turn yourself into a bomb. He's basically cajun Kira Yoshikage.
I mean, with a power like that, you can see why he throws stuff, and usually smaller stuff. If it’s melee, he has to get away in time before the explosion, no? Bigger explosion, bigger distance to retreat.
@@nurainiarsad7395 He actually does use it for melee, he charges his staff for explosive strikes on occasion.
Op as hell, lmfao bro 🤣
"You're still messing with me, aren't you?"
"Indubitably."
Gambit can touch anything and make it explosive. He can actually make a person a bomb.
Yes! Or he can use a gun.
Gambit would be an excellent villain. Is there a villain equivalent to him?
1. Gambit can use a sling shot or bow and arrows to get the job done.
2. Gambit was a villain. He was apart of the thieves guild. Besides that I do not believe their are any villains like him.
Actually normal Gambit can't charge organic matter. Aka anything that is alive. He had Mr. Sinister take a piece of brain tissue to weaken his abilities so he could control them better. I don't know about the Gambit in the recent comics but if he didn't get that piece back he shouldn't be able to charge living things.
SasukeUchihaSharigan but none the less he can.
"Could you throw a Magic: The Gathering card?" "It's quite fitting." LOL
Hahahahaha
"What happens if you run out of stuff to throw?"
X-Men '97 actually answered this recently.
Who's here after the newest episode of X-men 97?
I am.
Rip gambit
@@Jokester954 I'm sure he'll be resurrected in either Seasons 2 or 3 by either Mr. Sinister or Apocalypse.
Meeeeeee
That's Thomas Middleditch if anyone's interested.
What r u talking abut. Thats Anthony Penis Dooblinyae.
Doobs!!!
Stubby Twanga OOOOOHHHOOOHOOOO, sly as a fox
BrainSeepsOut He looks kinda like Tom Kenny in this.
Russ Singh Actually, as of three seconds ago, he has changed his name YET AGAIN, to PENIS. DICKLING. THE GOOSE! *howls like a wolf*.
I hate how good this series is. Damn you, Peter Holmes.
CANCELED look it up
Hahahahahahaha. Is that the globe from my damn library in hell Charles? Did mommy give you that? Wow.. the story of stufffed..... hahahahaha
Sadly, it's horribly inaccurate.
Feel like there needs to be a Nick Fury fires avengers series!
in the marvel universe he would be known as peter polmes
Gambit's twitch at 1:50 as he's desperately trying to think of a justification for his abilities kills me every single time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This dude does the best characters; his Vega SF2 was PRICELESS.
Veeeega
Thomas Middleditch. Hes fuckin funny.
Gambit is probably one of the most useful of the X-Men. He's ridiculously powerful.
Andrew Zinner At his full potential, Gambit is in fact an Alpha level mutant. He can generate the kinetic energy of a star. As I recall, in at least one universe, he is codenamed New Sun.
Andrew Zinner Useful, yes. Loved, no. He is a douche. And fans hate him now. I mean the cartoon did a better version of him. But the comics made him less likable.
John Reeves haven’t a lot of x men character been written poorly in the comics lately?
Greater Grievobeast 55 Now that you mention it, yeah.
Nerd
5 year burn
Maybe if Gambit got a Claow it would interest Xavier.
As long as one side was dull for licking
Hoax Slayer lol a Vega jest lol
Even with the claugh it wouldn't work. Did you see what he did to Wolverine?
Gambit probably just needed Xavier to taste the serpent's mouth to convince him.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Are we really just gonna gloss over the "i can make anything explode" part?
RIGHT LIKE WTF each one of those cards has the kinetic energy of a grenade
@@havocpyro9166 52 card pickup champion.
@@havocpyro9166 he should of just casually charged his desk before he walked out. Would of blown up X's whole office
Are we just gonna gloss over the fact that Prof X is being a complete dick and we are worried about how accurate Gambits powers are being represented?
That's the point of the skit, we all know he can blow shit up he's just making fun of the character 🤦
He can also use his claaaauuuwww.
I don't get like what is unnecessary like I wear a red gi...I'm different from Ryu..I'm blonde!!
*ALL HIS FOES WILL FALL BENEATH ITS MIGHTY SHARPNESS!*
At least his teleportation doesn’t smell like the Predator’s dreadlocks
The actor who plays Gambit is f#cking awesome xD
It looks like Thomas Middleditch
Jaques Pienaar
It is! He plays Nightcrawler(Ex men) and Ken(Street Fighter red tape)
Dyce Vin And don't forget Vega! That one is hilarious too!
Dyce Vin are you sure on Ken? I know he does began but Ken looked way too different in the face.
Its a funny video, but my X-men loving mind just couldnt understand how they missed that Gambit's main power is making anything a BOMB.
How could you miss that??!! :(
Yea, and he could use it with melee to, like smashing someone in the face with a kinetically charged bo staff.
I completely agree with that.. Plus he's a master thief that can break into any structure. He's perfect for covert operations...
For the sake of the joke.
***** A master thief that causes explosions? Not very sneaky...
Joseph W
causes explosions when or if, he wants to. That just like saying, "a master thief who can shoot a gun, not very sneaky." Just because you have something that can make noise, doesn't mean you uncontrollably make noise.
It doesn't take much thought to realize he wouldn't explode anything when he was stealing so don't try to be witty... it doesn't fit... At least if you're going to make a smart comment, be smart first.
1:35 you can tell he was going to say "you're still fucking with me are you?"
Anyone here after the Remember It episode of the X-men 97?
Damn, it sucks that all the good, funny material couldn't be put in because pete couldn't stop laughing. The outtakes are so damn funny.
OMG I didn't know there was an outtakes video. Very funny. Also searched for the other ex-men outtakes. Laughing so much. Thanks.
"Eyyy Gambit. Sandwich me!"
And then I -PWAP! In the mouth!
... *that's cool*
Street Fighter Ken outtake with Bob Saget, best ever.
He still snuck in a “yiii-to” I noticed😂
oh my god thanks
“Oh cool”
“Yeah!”
“No, no, f@cking no”
😂😂😂
“I’m just going to keep it then as ‘throws stuff’ which is what I had”
Holy shit I watched this years ago when I didn’t even know who Thomas Middleditch was
Holy shit dude that's incredible
Who’s that
Jadon Knoy he’s the guy that plays Gambit in this and nightcrawler in that video, look him up he’s in a bunch of stuff
Watched him in Silicon Valley
that actor does it so well, i actually feel sorry for Gambit :D specially when he mentions his "staff" :D
His name is Thomas Middleditch, and has his own show coming out check it out, its called Silicon Valley!
gambit has a better suit than the one using in wolverine :origins
im slow i thought you meant the cards
Gambit is litterally one of the most powerful mutants lol im s salty years later
Don't understand why this comedy bit ignored more than half of what Gambit can do. Would have been funny if they kept going but just stopped on throwing stuff... This one was a miss for me.
DUDE FOR REAL, Idk why I watched it again, I hate this episode, and then the "Melt you with my mind" Fuck you Pete he cant do that lol
I think the joke is professor x don need anyone he could just control anyone's mind , but he don't because moral and shit.
In the 90's he wasn't. Literally almost every popular mutant in the 90's are like Omega level now. LOL! It's stupid.
He's one of the coolest characters ever. Period.
“You could? Cool!”
“Yeah!”
“No. No. Fucking No.”
🤣 Kills me to this day
HOLY SHIT SILICON VALLEY SHOW CHARACTER .
+Wen Liang THIS. GUY. FUCKS!!!
+Sir John wrong guy lol
R.I.G.B.
its doobs
"Yeah, I trow it, I trow it REALLY hard. There's always stuff to trow."
"A paper plate aisle at Target." LOL!!!
1:15 "Without cards, you're garbage."
As a magician, i can relate to that.
Saaame lmaaaooo
"I can throw other things you know" lol
lmao
dam they did my boy gambit wrong mon cherrie.
“Okay I’m just going to put it in here as throws stuff which is what I had” I love how his voice trailed off near the end and the confusion
“cats is coming back to broadway” well that didn’t age well
But it shouldn’t Cats sucks
It aged great lmao. Even funnier given the bomb of the movie.
I love how he caught himself just before he said 'are you fucking with me?'
Years later and this still has me in stitches. The Nightcrawler one is also really funny.
This reminds me of the nightcrawler in the recent movies. Getting weird vibes on this, I think that's why. Doesn't feel Cajun French.
The way he says "I got my playing cards" is brilliant 🤣
"None of this cats is coming back to broadway shit".
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It's a little more terrifying to consider Gambit can make ANYTHING explode as long as he's touching it.
Actually his original power was via sight but he was to powerful
That's kinda gay
@@darkfun2481 Or straight. Women can have dicks too now.
Oh c'mon, how does Batman never run out of Batarangs?
OR DOES HE?
Chemical_kid25 I saw it in a cartoon once.
Chemical_kid25 They have "rang" in their name, that means they return when thrown.
06pag Only if they don't hit their target. Which never happens, because he's batman.
+Chemical_Kid23 He does/has run out.
because he is Batman!!
"Would you please throw yourself out? I could melt you with my miiiinnnndd~~~." Lost it there XD
"What if we're attacked - and we're not inside a 99 cents store?"
Gambit's gonna need to call Iceman for that burn.
Pete Holmes runs the BEST situational/character takedowns ever. Hands-down.
"what happens if we get attacked and we're NOT in a 99¢ store 🤣🤣🤣I am HOWLING
Thomas Middleditch kills it in these sketches. His Vega impression was hilarious. 🤣
So, making shit explode doesn't count?
yes but if you don't have shit
There is always shit. Rocks, shoes, pencils, hats, sticks, paper, pens. He can make anything explode.
Including your girlfriend.
@@auluadenbartolli6755 o boi XDDDDDDDDD
1:43
i went back to this video years later just to see this reaction again
NOooOo
The Wolverine/Cyclops arguments makes sense, but this power definitely isn't useless. Like he said, there's always stuff. The amount of "stuff" he can have on his person alone is staggering.
He’s not limited to throwing things. He can charge up anything he touches.
@@gd7681 it was mentioned and Xavier rapidly dismissed it, that was the point of the skit
That's the point of the skit 🤦
The thing I found funny is Gambit doesnt looka like he want to prove his worth
😆
Gambit doesn't just throw stuff. When he throws it, it explodes.
Its just a joke dumbass
Ok, we got a triggered nerd.
Laughed my ass off at Gambits facial expression reactions to each insult thrown at him "incredibly fast"!! 🤣🤣🤣 In the end though I actually felt a little sad for him....that was a hell of beating!
10 years later, this and the the outtakes video are STILL two of my favorite things on the whole internet.
“And then you throw it!” Lol, Pete Holmes is hilarious.
The set design, costumes, writing, and acting all get well-deserved accolades. So often overlooked is the editing, and it's very good here.
“You’re fired”
“noo”
I like how he's just quiet at the beginning and gives that look like " I don't even know where to start"
I'm surprised he didnt just start picking up random objects on Xavier's desk as part of his "there's always stuff to throw" point.
"What if we're attacked and we're not in a 99 cent store" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"None of this Cats is coming back to Broadway bullshit" 😂😂😂
Just noticed that @1:35, Gambit almost says "Are you f***ing with me?" but he caught himself and said "You're still messing with me aren't you" instead lol
Gambit, one of the most OP mortal beings in Marvel when his powers are fully awakened, being portrayed as just a guy who throws stuff... ouch. He beats out Silver Surfer at one point. xD
What can he do?
@@cihuacoatl1887 throw stuff
Armando Luna in an at universe he learns he can activate ANY potential energy. Basically when he fights wolverine he literally makes him spontaneously combust
In short, hes an Omega Level Superhero when he wants to be. Strong enough to fight celestials and other dimensional beings & much more.
@@cihuacoatl1887 imagine him throwing cards at very high speed, but instead of cards, it's your own cells or even your atom
Kinda weird that he always used cards, though. Would be cooler if he's portrayed as general throwing stuff. Coins, pebbles, tanks. Much more interesting than a deck of card
Gambit was hands down one of my favorite X-men when I was growing up, this was before his omega level promotion. I remember after the first episode of the X-men the animated series, Wolverine instantly became everyone's favorite character from the start, after a 5 year run it would be Gambit who'd become the most favorite at the end. His character was one of the best in the show, he looked and acted cool, a super hero by day but at night he's a gambling hustling bad boy. Without his powers he's like a ghetto James Bond, But with his powers including his set's of skills and abilities he's simply just Gambit. The writers kept his origins a mystery, this was a writers tactic, they stretched his story throughout the season, and his story was used to add a bit more weight to an episode that they felt was light. Those were some clever story telling and so effective that it kept us wanting even more info every time we the audience got to learn something very small about him. Oh and I almost forgot to mention that Gambit was so cool he starts hitting on Rogue (she currently posses Captain Marvels powers) right from the moment he meets her and has her off her feet by the third season, the man is a legend.
having said that I still found this sketch to be so funny that I loved it. Don't let your knowledge stop you from being to laugh about it, sometimes it's best to know when it's okay to turn off the thinking cap.
Exactly how I feel, yea Gambit is a really great mutant character. This is a sketch that isn't meant to dive deep into his powers, it is satire. So many complaints in the comments when they just don't get it...
Remy's awesome.
Superhero by day except everyone knows who he is.
@@TheUnseenPath Not sure you understood OP's point.
A bit late but agreed.
Even better.. Cats is coming back to a theater near you.
Future predictions
I just realized that's the same guy who plays Vega in the Street Fighter series. lol
He's friggin awesome.
"I can melt you with my mind"
Said in such a cheerful, light hearted way 😂
I love how people take this too seriously lol.
Love how people use this as a serious debunking of Gambit to show why he's lame xD
Honestly when you think about it, the x-men are kinda useless at world threatening problems
@@q.h.s5051 xmen have all the crazy strong people. well maybe not the xmen but mutants are stupid over powered
Kind of funny how Xavier calls him useless when he's an Omega level mutant who beat the Silver Surfer, can fight celestials and can turn anything, even people, into a bomb. Xavier couldn't even harm him, he's immune to telepaths
Wow, I like you.
Ayup. People don't realize exactly how broken and OP some of the mutants are, when you really settle down to look at their power structure.
Gambit (as New Sun) also destroyed the Phoenix of his universe. He. Destroyed. The. Fucking. PHOENIX. He's the best :D
Gambit is strong, but he is *not* Omega-level. Omega-levels have the strongest genetic potential of their power type. Gambit got a power boost to the peak of his power type to fight New Son/Sun, but he lost that when New Son fell. Now, New Son was technically him from a different universe, and was probably Omega-level, but 616 Gambit (and any other Gambit that did *not* nuke their own planet) are not Omega. "The following are the known Omega-level mutants as of the House of X relaunch: Jamie Braddock, Iceman, Elixir, Jean Grey, Legion, Magneto, Proteus, Mister M, Storm, Exodus, Quentin Quire, Franklin Richards, Vulcan, Hope Summers."
@@IWantGorlsArmor2012 How is it that Havoc isnt Omega level..makes no sense how they left him out
This is the best one, lol. "Uno is easy. Any kind of sport".
"Oh, you train underneath a waterfall with the staff?"
The Patrick Stewart imitation is excellent.
Pete's reactions are just perfect
"You look like you brought it to lean on, as you wait in line, over night, for the new Twilight - book, not movie." XD XD XD
Deck of Cards: 52 thin, portable, slim grenades
Coming back to this all these years and seeing it’s Thomas Middleditch makes this all that much better
His X-Men failure spurred him into writing the original Pied Piper algorithm.
CZcams: „remember that video you watched years ago that you liked? Why not watch it again? Now?“
Oke
"Standing in line for the new Twilight... book, not movie."
XD
I saw him throw an explosive couch one time in the cartoon. It was then that I realized he can make anything explode
"Book! not movie" I'm had me rolling!🤣🤣
Fucking lost it when they're discussing the logistics of throwing a gyro
This is Pete’s best character.
gambit is easily in my top two favorite x-men since childhood. the mastery of kinetic energy always fascinated me. but, more importantly, what i've always liked most about gambit is how he never gave a shit about anything. and you always wondered just how easily he could turn into an bad mutant, or why he never became one in the first place. power, nuance, subtly, mystery, and always a little bit edge of rebellion simmering under the surface. shame he isn't featured more in the modern films.
He is also far from weak. He has always been an omega level mutant but certain things happen during his life that made him way more powerful. He had surgery on his hands by Mr Sinister at one point and he was also chosen as one of the four horsemen which involved putting extremally advanced tech in him.
Thomas deserves an award for that portrayal of Gambit... just awesome and hilarious
"Oh you have a staff?? I didn't see that on file."
*flips folder open and closed without looking
These are still hilarious even after this many years
This actor nailed Gambit's super charm
It's an overexaggeration, he can "charge" stuff so it explodes, he can pick up a rock from the ground and explode a helicopter with it. He also has some off brand hypnosis power.
"I'm ssorry you're still messing with me aren't you?"
" indubitably"
HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!
Q:Magic: The Gathering card? A:It's quite fitting. AMAZING!!
This is awesome! Bring back the show!
@1:02 ya uno is easy!
I lost it!
