I just love how when Gutz knows something hyper specific, he always waits to let the other guests answer first. Such a broad field of knowledge on this guy that he can even win when he gives himself a disadvantage.
I love that too! You can see him anxiously and politely waiting for the other contestants and then buzzing in with the dead on correct answer.
He tries so hard to give them a chance knowing his nerdom is far more powerful than theirs. A gentleman, and a scholar. Love Gutz!
Same!!!
Have we ever gotten to see gutz and mercer compete? I've seen both of them hold themselves back to give other contestants a chance! It would be fun to see them really get to let themselves go and feel good about it!
That's true sportsmanship imo
Amy: "Um actually...Hogswatch is not unique to Discworld..."
Trapp: "That's correct!"
Amy: "...What?"
I love moments like that, pulling the right answer out of literally nowhere.
Nothing comes from nowhere...Nowhere is not a known location.The information at best came from her brain,or at least her brain told her to say that...Something along those lines lol
@@jeffdroog I think you forgot a couple of words, perhaps.
It was my favourite part of the entire episode
@@jeffdroog "known location"
Are you saying if a location isn't known, then it doesn't exist? 🤔
@@sleepinghermit7778 What are you talking about? Nowhere doesn't exist...Its the absence of a place.So something can't come from nowhere,as nowhere is nothing at all.
Amy is absolutely delightful.
Her losing her shit naming the different Santas was the highlight of the episode for sure.
.
Brb naming a grindcore band Flesh Present
22:45
This is facts.
Amy losing her shit cracking up at her own jokes is the best.
Amy in here laughing like it's Don't Break News. Lucky for her, she's a fucking delight.
Amy completely losing her shit in a giggle fit is the greatest thing ever.
Her losing it makes me laugh harder than she does
Um, actually it’s called breaking news.
Amy can get anyone to break with her laughter. It's instantly contageous.
When she started I was like oh here we go. Do the face do the face
Ah yes, July 23rd, a very very festive day of festivities and the like, this totally came out at the perfect time
Never heard of Christmas in july?
It’s actually Christmas Eve in the Southern Hemisphere so this is a very appropriate time
My Hero Academia also released their Christmas episode in June, so it's not like Um Actually is doing something taboo here.
What do you mean - when do you celebrate Life Day?
@@Leosklein69 lol wtf no it's not, christmas is december 25th world wide. It's just the middle of winter right now in the southern hemisphere but Christmas is a summer holiday here
Shane has real "Have You Ever Had a Dream" vibes with his answers.
Or, as Trapp puts it, "Have You Ever Had a Stroke?"
Ah yes, it's definitely a season to be jolly.
Christmas in July 😂
(Looks around) What are we celebrating? We're half way through 2021?

Its my Birth Month when it was posted so It is Festive for me. However I think The Christmas Cheer/ Holiday Cheer is actually needed in these rough times.
I think its cause they come out earlier on dropout and then come out here later
Gutz is an absolute force of nerd nature. I don't think I've seen an episode where he doesn't trounce everyone else.
Um,, actually in Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause, Mrs. Claus isn't written out. Two of the main plot points revolve around Mrs. Claus being pregnant and being close to the due date, as well as Santa having to meet Mrs. Claus' parents.
But what happened to the previous Mrs Claus? She's not at the north pole and nobody wants to talk about her/ask her for help. Were the elves contractually obligated to take her out if Santa ever died?
Considering how the previous Santa just vanished into nothingness perhaps that's what happened
Wait, they got married and almost had a baby BEFORE he meets her parents?! He can fly around the world in one night, surely he has no excuse for not meeting them sooner
The previous Mrs. Claus died of grief following the murder of her husband.
@@helenl3193 They think that he's a super busy toy executive in Canada (that's the excuse). The real reason is that they're not very nice people and he's been putting off meeting them as long as he can.
Can we just appreciate that Gutierrez is wearing a 4th Doctor scarf?
Amy is really unleashing her Breaking News Network nature by laughing through the 2nd shiny question.
Gutz: lets the other players guess, beeps in, nails it but with an unsure intonation, wins every point.
I fucking love Amy. She's a hoot whenever she come son. Contagious laughter.
i love how guitz(?) knows everything but always gives everyone else a chance to answer before getting all the points
Gutes or gutz is how you write it
Gütz?
Amy, if you're reading this, I get amped for any CH video you're in because your laughter is infectious.
I loved the stunned "What" when she got it correct
I- I feel like this isn't just a repost from when it was used to promote Dropout in the early stages, I feel like this is even the second time it's been on THIS channel.
Yeah... I've been watching an episode per day for the past weeks and I've seen this one not that long ago...
I'm glad to hear it wasn't just me.
Not just you and not just this episode
Pretty sure that’s the case for the past few episodes, idk of all of the repeats have been consecutive or not but I watch this series on repeat and I can assure that’s the case :)
x2. Or x3 as the case may be.
Amy's laughter is so infectious, I love seeing her on here
Shane's the real winner, with those boots!
I unironically want a pair
25:40 I was very surprised when Gutz did not get the point for saying that A Muppet Family Christmas is not actually a movie, because...
Um, actually, A Muppet Family Christmas is, by all categorical accounts, a television special. It aired on ABC in 1987 and has a running time under an hour.
Yeah, the CZcams version ends with a promo for NightLine.
Gutz is the king of letting others guess some bullshit and then chiming in with the correct answer
The candy walker in the back is one of the funniest visual gags I've seen in a very long time.
this was a great episode, amy being hillarous, Jon being charming and shane just going for the "not correct but hillarious"-play all the way. *chefkiss* its one of those episodes at the end of a series that exibit a special quality.
Mrs. Claus being pregnant is a main plot point of The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause. They definitely didn’t write her out.
Amy's Santas got me sweating of laughter, god bless
I'm 99.9% sure that I've watched this episode when it was posted before, but Amy is such a delight that I can't *not* watch it again.
To be clear, Shane and Gutz are also great, but Amy has been MVP of every episode she's in.
Um, actually; The "Tió de Nadal" is Specifically Catalan, and not a Spain-wide tradition, and the song is consequently sang in Catalan and not Spanish.
^I was looking for this comment. Catalonia has the best, most poop related Christmas traditions.
They were looking for country of origin, and Catalonia is still in Spain, for now.
@@thewanderingmistnull2451 Catalonia is a Country with it's distinct culture, traditions and language, the fact that it is currently not a sovereign independent state does not diminish that fact. You wouldn't call a Welsh or Scottish tradition English sust because said countries aren't currently independent from England.
@@MiguelVicoR you’d call it British. Because they’re all part of Great Britain, not England.
Hi Amy, If you're reading this; I haven't watched the Simpson either and I love you for it. #yourenotalone
Impressive that none of them could name Robot Santa when there had already been a question that name dropped that very character.
This is the perfect time to post this
'god my mind palace is full of shit!' had me crying XDDD
Nightmare is definitely both a Halloween and a Christmas movie.
I know right? I mean there is literally a song called "This is Halloween." Amy clearly needs to watch it again.
95% of it takes place in Halloweentown. C'mon.
@@mickeyrube6623 but it's also a story about saving Christmas. And appreciating your talents and skills and not trying to be something you aren't. What's more Christmassy than that? Lol
It's one thing for her to argue that it's more of a Christmas movie than a Halloween movie. [I'd disagree but it's reasonable.] Instead she practically claims it's very definitely not a Halloween movie at all.
It didn't feel like she was doing a gag, either, so I was ... having a negative reaction to it.
@@SandraNLN a number of things are more Christmassy than that.
I was thinking that "I think that's just a photo of Bill Clinton" would be the best moment of the episode, then 22:46 immediately happens. Absolute definition of contagious laughter
Um, actually it's "Snow White and the Seven DWARFS." Dwarves was popularized by Tolkien as the fantasy race, whereas dwarfs refers to humans with dwarfism.
In addition, Tolkien later acknowledged that spelling dwarfs with a V was an over-correction.
They used this nitpick for a shiny question once
Um actually, The tradition of Ded Moroz is mostly spread in East Slavic countries and is an important part of Russian culture. Although at the beginning of the Soviet era communist authorities banned Ded Moroz he soon became an important part of the Soviet culture. The literal translation is "Grandpa Frost" or "Great Father Winter". He is does not as Trapp stated originate from World of Warcraft.
I think the point is that the question is about the in-universe WoW character who has that name. They weren't talking about Дед мороз specifically.
They were talking about the origins of Great Father Winter, the WoW deity that represents the winter/holiday events in-game.
So WoW GFW originates from WoW.
I love how in the Amy Cinematic Universe, there's always a laugh meltdown. Makes me laugh along with her every time.
'They can't decide if they love me or hate me, so I decided they love me' See, that's a good decision to make. I'll also always decide that.
'Um, Actually it's not unique to Discworld' 'That's correct' 'What?' The disbelief there. I love that.
Love that Amy wasn't able to stop laughing long enough to get through her list of santa names.
She does enrich this show a lot :D
Uhm actually, in Hogfather it is revealed that the true origins of Hogswatch go way back into the earliest memories of mankind of surviving through the winter and that the modern stories are just latching onto that.
everyone putting the Very Obvious Japanese Onis in china made me so frustrated
Dude, same. The name was very obviously Japanese
I appreciate that Gutz waits for the other two contestants to take a guess before giving the right answer
The best moments of these shows is when Trapp writes a hyper-specific question with an absurd answer and someone else gets it right. His immediate “That Is Correct!” While already mid-laugh will always make me smile
Amy’s crack at the end with the Santas was so wholesome I can’t even
3:46 I have a pretty good guess where Mrs. Claus came from...
"Daddy, you know Santa Claus?"
"Sure Susie, what about him?"
"Well... He doesn't have any kids of his own, right?"
"Well he thinks of all the good little boys and girls of the world as his children."
"Yeah, and he's got a big house all to himself, and he's got lots of men he says are helpers?"
"...Where is this going?"
"Well I was just wondering, is there maybe a Mrs. Claus, or is he maybe like Uncle Christopher?"
*"Susie, there is a Mrs. Claus."*
"Oh okay. What does she do?"
*"She exists. Makes cookies or something. Go play with your dolls."*
"We'll move right along here" immediately followed by a muppet question. What a missed opportunity to say "movin' right along'!
Amy giggling while trying to name the Santas had me crying, she’s so funny.
Fievel: "But papa, didn't someone in our family buy this hat years ago? How did we get it?"
Papa: "Hush now, Fievel, it's a long and complicated story for another time."
---------
Great-great-great-grandfather Mousekewitz seeing a hat in a storefront: "Neat!"
I put off watching this episode because I wasn't feeling particularly festive and damn do I regret that, this cast has amazing chemistry!
The director of Nightmare Before Christmas said "It's definitely a Halloween movie" and the release date was October 29th. Therefore, Nightmare Before Christmas is 100% a Halloween movie.
This is the most compelling argument for the Death of the Author that I have ever seen
@@TheIrrationalLottery lmao
I never even realised before that there are usually exactly thirteen questions per episode. 🤯
Santa: The Gathering was brilliant. The art matches perfectly!
18:20 I just love Amy's genuine surprise when Trapp said she's right. It was the best "cogspinning" moment ever
RE: Galaxy Quest, um actually, it IS very different. Since the device resets the ship to a state 13 seconds ago instead of rewinding time, it means everything outside the ship still advances in regular time. Something that leaves the ship would still exist outside the ship (whether weapon fire, a transmission, or maybe even teleported crewmates). So does that mean if someone beams off the ship prior to the device's activation, the ship's molecules would reform a version of them that's still on the ship, creating a copy? We'll have to convince them to make a Galaxy Quest II (and make that the plot) to find out, I guess.
Gutz, Effy, and Brennan need to have a Maximum Nerd competition.
just started watching but i had to pause to say that i love the janky dreidel in the background
Gutz gets nothin but net, always a joy to see him on the couch 🙏
Um actually, if nerds really loved peace on earth more than anything, they wouldn't spend so much time correcting each other.
Um actually I think that your wrong
Um actually, peace was never an option.
Um, actually, you need to be somewhat of a nerd to be able to build all the weapons you need for war.
Regular contestant: "Let's see if I can make some random correct guesses."
Gutz: "Let's see if I can quickly locate my knowledge of this thing in the midst of my knowledge of all those other things."
Shane's festive boots got me mesmerized
In the third The Santa Clause, Mrs. Claus TOTALLY exists, part of the plot is that she's pregnant, so both sides of extended relatives visit for Christmas.
"I like the things I write"
So do we, Amy. So do we 🤣
Either we're getting this episode five months early, or we're getting it nineteen months late.
Oh, and um actually, the Key & Peele sketch is about Gremlins *2*.
"Christmas in July" is actually a real thing that exists... It's been around for almost 100 years now.
Did I just take a nap and wake up 5 months later?!?
Secret of Mana Santa/ Frost Gina's being in this literally just made my day. I just downloaded the game on my phone using an emulator and am currently playing that very game
Merry Christmas y’all! Great episode
Mrs Claus is still in the third "The Santa Clause" movie. She's pregnant with Tim Allen's child.
Also, there is a holiday special, called "The Year Without a Santa Claus" where Mrs. Claus tries to take over from Santa, who tries to cancel Christmas (because he totally has the authority to cancel the celebration of Christ's birth/the winter solstice) because he's tired, and sick, and wants a vacation (as if most of his year isn't already a vacation). The special is most well known for the Miser brothers (Snow Miser and Heat Miser). A clip of Snow Miser appears in the movie "Batman and Robin", where Mr. Freeze is forcing his henchmen to sing the Snow Miser song.
There is also the Whoopi Goldberg Santa Claus movie "Call Me Claus" in which Whoopi becomes Santa. So you have a single female Santa. Who I suppose could eventually meet and marry a "Mr. Clause" if she wanted.
Um, actually, he spends most of the year working on making toys and hasn't had a day off in years. Santa was not cancelling the religious kind of Christmas, but rather the gift-giving bit because in their universe he actually exists and delivers the presents.
Gutz and his wife watching the Key & Peele Gremlins sketch weekly gives me such validation. I've seen it so many times and I'm obsessed with every single movement Peele makes in it.
The boots!!!!! They’re glorious!
Yes summer is definitely a good time to post a holiday themed episode
Amy has the best attitude... And great smile!
Gutes always sits... and lets the other two contestants guess... and then he says the exact right answer (and clearly knows it). So it just takes him a while to retrieve it? Or he likes to watch the others flail? Or - the most badass possibility - he’s such a god at this that he has to show restraint
all this christmas talk? the host’s crispy r’s are killing me . love u tho
Man, Amy Vorpal seems so much more confident and settled now after watching this again. Sorry I spelled your name wrong, I owe you a snickers snack.
Up to this point, I hadn't seen Amy in anything other than Breaking News. She's so much nicer when she's not trying to not laugh.
Um actually, Frost Gigas is actually also called Santa Claus. When you defeat him, he turns back inte the classic Santa Claus. He had been turned into this ice monster by by the Fire Seed (go figure), which he stole in order to grow a giant christmas tree so children would believe him again.
I'm surprised none of them thought that Namahage was from Japan. They were clearly oni, and oni are from Japan. Namahage itself is a very Japanese name.
Red oni blue oni is also a very common trope, it was the first one I figured out the place of
Time to rewatch!
At 27:40, Trapp mimes the motion of easing a videotape into a VCR and it's wonderful. I forgot that I remember that motion as a core memory.
Um, Actually, how can make a Christmas Episode without mentioning Die Hard? The best holiday movie ever? :D
so i love mari lwyd because mari lwyd is a horse skull that visits your home and sings rhymes to get inside your house, and the person who answers the door has to sing back excuses why lwyd can't come in and it just goes back and forth until one gives up. if the person who answered the door gives up, lwyd raids your pantry and drinks all your beer
Why is Amy Vorpal so fucking adorable! I crack with everything she says!
Amy is such a delight to behold, her laugh is contagious.
Lol’d when Amy told the tree to “drink your fill I don’t fucking care.”
The laugh and last name is why I love Amy!
I lol’d when trapp went inside his mind palace and incorporated his own mouth sound effects
Amy losing it and laughing hysterically is the best.
Um, Actually, Boba Fett's first public appearance was in a small town parade just before the special. But his first on screen appearance was in the holiday special.
I’m just in love with Amy because of her inability to even once she starts laughing
I stan Jon's scarf!!
While I can follow the logic, Australia has a history of not portraying spiders in a kind light, since there are SO many dangerous species down there.
In fact, I'm pretty certain there was a Peppa Pig episode that wasn't allowed to air because it taught kids that "spiders weren't something to fear..." in a country where spiders were ABSOLUTELY something to be scared of
Holiday Special in JULY!!!
"Either of those 2 movies" because there were only 2 home alones and we never speak of any others lol
Christmas in July? I love it
the icelandic yule lads are legit the best folklore. none better than Thvorusleikir the spoon-licker. i'm also a fan of the mari lwyd's riddles
To settle the "Nightmare Before Christmas" debate, I just watch it on Thanksgiving!
We love you, Amy!
It's a Christmas in July miracle!
Nightmare before Christmas is more Christmas than Halloween.
It's always Christmas when Amy is on Um, Actually
4:20 Oh man, I really want to give you a 10 hour class on the Santa Clause movies now. Mrs. Claus is still very important in the third installment as a way of driving the plot and creating tension, but she isn't in much of it since it's a time travelling movie and a lot of it is spent in an alternate timeline where the protagonist never met her.
Summer is epic
