I'm just about to go to sleep, but I wanted to thank all of you who've left overwhelmingly lovely comments. The reception to this video has really made my week. The links to all my sources, as well as music credits, crew credits and patreon link are in the description if you're so inclined. Thanks so much for supporting the channel by watching, sharing, commenting and liking, it means the world. Stay spicy
Pst, the patreon discord is awesome, JOIN THE CHAOS!
Will you paint your nails bright pink in the next video?
You are quickly becoming my favorite magic CZcamsr I love your content, your comedy, and I love that you’re looking to make your community an inclusive space for all. I appreciate all the hard work you do not just with the content you make, but for also making the world ever so slightly better and safer for all people.
@@leviv168 Sure! Why not :D
@@hipeepstake12 That's such a wonderful thing to say and I'm so glad that's what I've been putting across. Thank you so much for leaving this
Thanks for inviting me to your TED Talk
Thank you for watching and supporting it :D It means a whole lot!
Those legs are more defined than the three-stage comedy of goblin grenade
The fact that a guy named Buttram worked on a paper on comedy means that guy fully embraces their last name and how humourous it is.
The flavor text of Drill Bit is so so, but the double meaning of the name is too excellent to ignore.
... Holy shit. Drill bit meaning the head of a drill and "Drill Bit" meaning a comedic skit featuring a drill or a skit being drilled into someone's head via rehearsal HOW DID I MISS THIS HOLY SHIT
@@Spice8Rack I'm king of comedy for the day!
Spice 8 Rack spice 8 rack proves once and for all that they’re a basic lad
Oh, well this answers the question "Did he ignore Drill Bit's card name on purpose despite talking about Disturbing Plot's ?"
Kudos for actually acknowledging it in the comments, but we'd expect no less from a good lad such as you.
God not that old drill bit again. Lay off the bad card and move to another joke!
Huh, I just realized the rule of three applies to itself
The rule of three
Created by Edgar
And buttram
*Chef's kiss*
Absolutely great video by the way. @Spice 8 Rack Gonna watch the others and like and sub. Really hope you keep growing and making great videos like this! Heart goes out to you and your team for putting heard and soul into your work.
If there are two things I love, it’s comedy, dry analysis of pauses in text, and goblins.
well played.
*You didn't get me with the Comedy Of The Absurd bit until the ukulele. Then I just fell to pieces. Well done.*
Erin Page for me it was only when it zoomed out
It was really good XD
I didnt break until the lizard showed up
Really helps that he had all sorts of Shrek references littered through out the entire video
LAYERS!!!!
I’m a weak ass sucker for laughter and almost killed myself laughing during The entirety of the final segment.
Honestly, what really caught me off guard and made me laugh was how good the last bit was. When he mentioned the comedy of the absurd, I was expecting typical “lol random” humor, but for a quality performance, which stuck more than if he just shouted “Batman!” and cut to black
And then I saw the state of his pants
If there’s anything a Spice8Rack hates, it’s a pun- especially Wizards’ sounds-like puns, the symbol of their creative team.
The fact that Lovecraft was so racist is still my favorite joke
He was bombastically biggoted.
"Guys, I just worked out what to name the cat in my book" Lovecraft deep reference
@@Spice8Rack maybe a racist but I still love the atmosphere of the stories
@@Pookie2112 as long as what you enjoy isn't the racism, he's dead so it doesn't matter.
The best joke about Lovecraft's racism is beholders.
They're floating many eyed aberrations, and they're just Really racist and paranoid.
They look Lovecraftian, and they act like Lovecraft.
Yes my child, I will be gentle. But don’t tempt me...
now THAT is a spicy moustache
It reminds me a tad of Steven Toast's 'stache, for some reason.
NGL, that was a genuine concern I had, thank you xD
That joke was my fave
Another video masterfully done. The All Star song at the end really got me, almost didnt notice the other bit.
Yeah, I did not see that coming. And the pants around the ankles gave me flashbacks to an old man singing "That Old Gray Mare"
69th like ye
Okay this was definitely worth the wait. I am so happy your channel blew up recently; you definitely deserve it!
I love the Rakdos's Drill Bit.
It's never boring.
P.S. I LOVE puns.
Oh, it's my favorite flavor win from the set
I did see the video, but disagree. Drill Bit maybe a bad pun but it's so much more.
It's not just the fact that the name and flavor make the card but also the art and what the card actually does is important as well. This card is one of the best example of flavor(the what makes this card unique flavor) . Every aspect is relatable to the other. Not alot of cards do that. From the Name to Function to Flavor Text this card is a win, and in my opinion is great comedy. I'm sorry that you felt I commented and with out watching the video, but Drill Bit is a "Bit" BETTER than Might of Oaks.
D. Walter III oh, thank you for such a thorough answer! You exactly pin-pointed all of my thoughts about the card.
I, too, think it’s a perfection of the card in terms of relatability to itself. Just layer after layer of comedy in such a minuscule amount of words.
I don't really like the pun in the card but the art + text have such a stupidly malicious to it, I can't help but play it and think that yeah.
It's never boring.
I liked makebre mockery, putting the fun in funeral
“A goblin offensive?”
“More like Bore Ragnarok!”
“He complained because the act was boring, and then he screamed because the act was boring.”
Good one, but I think without the and it's even better.
My favorite is the old Lava Axe- “Catch”
Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your videos. You're everything I want in a CZcams channel; critical analysis of unimportant things with a healthy dose of bafoonery!
I hate myself for this but, *buffoonery. Also I agree!
The croc flavor text got me laughing for a solid 30 seconds
It wasn't just exhaling air out of my nose with increased force, it was an all out laugh out loud moment
Thank you for introducing me to this card
You've filled a void of mtg videos that I didn't know we had. Hilarious, keep it up!
Yes Concordia Pegasus, the white card that made me focus on blue decks because the text was so funny.
I think storytelling in flavor is an interesting topic, Doomed Artist being one of my favorites because it’s a card that tells a full story through its name, art, mechanics, and flavor text.
I have to say, I'm blown away by the meticulous care that went into writing, producing, and editing every part of this video. There have been multiple times where I have to pause and rewind it simply due to the fact that I want to fully absorb the elements you've included. The content is so dense that in the span of seconds, I detect several witty jokes, in-my-face editing featuring both MTG and non-MTG references, and an abstractly developed interwoven dual plotline starring the man StandUpPoet himself delivering charismatic soliloquies. The best part is that you maintain this quality throughout the entirety of a 27 minute video, which is unreal to me. I look forward to any new videos you put out there on the internet for humble comedy enthusiasts such as myself to enjoy.
"Join the army, see foreign countries" they'd said. Border Guard
BOY. GOT. PIPES
EDIT:
This is the bestest video I have ever seen.. I'm lost.. Entirely lost for words.
After your final discourse about the culmination of the video, when you said "the absurd" i didn't think you could pull it off, then at the first word i had a 32 teeth smile across my face.
The video was awesome, and i hope you'll release for download (even purchase is fine) the complete version of the song without the voiceover of the credits.
Never been so happy of finding such a gem of a channel in my recommendations, inmediately subscribed. Greetings from Spain.
FHJKSHFDkjhsdfkjhsdfjksh HELLO From England :D Thank you so much for coming along
@@Spice8Rack hi from Switzerland
I know it was probably spoiled after you were already done with the script, but you 100% should look at the sorin's thirst flavor text, it's golden.
I didn't expect #MTGWAR to have so many great jokes in it, otherwise I would have saved this video
My friends have always told me that I have a knack for comedy and writing good punchlines to comics... Now I understand the theory behind it! Oh and it was from a magic the gathering video.
Also I had high expectations for the punchline for that last joke and I genuinely laughed when you started singing
I was so worried I wouldn't stick the landing! Thanks so much for such a supportive comment!
It was so meta! Thank you so much for your high quality and entertaining videos and content!
The ending bit was absolutely fantastic, nice crack all around
I'm happy you're showing your face more.
A_Gideon Aw thanks :) I want to give it a go and this channel is still hella young so I may as well experiment!
Gay...in a good way
It's a good face. You might as well use it.
@Spice 8 Rack
I legitimately broke out laughing and almost suffocated when you started singing.
You had the same reaction as my Year 9 singing teacher :D
Loving the new production value! Although honestly its just icing on top of some tasty tasty content. Also the scientific journal references were next level
don't take this the wrong way but you really look like a vampire in this video
The moment you took the "absurd comedy" stance, and began your act, i couldn't stop me from laughing and scream "you dirty bastard" at my cellphone.
You've captured perfect rewatchability and analysis of Magic cards in such a fantastic way. I don't know whether to be overjoyed or annoyed. I think that effect is what you were going for so good job!
" In a strange twist of fate, one of the most annoying creatures in the multiverse was brought to the place where it could cause the most damage. "
I'm loving these videos, amazing video.
And great solo
Everytime I come back and rewatch this, I am always surprised that Spice has a beautiful singing voice on top of the phenomenal writing and delivery. Spice is an internet treasure
Thank God the best up and coming (and overall imo) MTG CZcamsr is back.
23:14 "What's the punchline to this bit?"
"Am I not looking at it?"
I love you so much! My new favourite channel! I need to force everyone I know to watch these. Also calling the Orzov tories was so bloody brilliant! I know it wasn’t on this video but I watched about 5 of your vids in a row and can’t remember where I saw it
I keep coming back to this video, and continue to find it worth noting in my head (and now for the world to see) that "boring" does have a definition that isn't synonymous with "drilling". In certain situations, it specifically refers to the enlarging of a hole already in existence. This is what I took it to mean on my first reading and, as such, I had not qualms with the joke.
I just found you today and you're already one of my favorite content creators!
I really thought after “Well, I guess to that I’d say,” you were going to say “Batman”.
This was my first Spice 8 Rack video I ever watched and fell in love. I look forward to every video, no matter how long it takes to produce, because they're amazing and I love them. Spice 8 Rack will always be my MTG cinnamon roll. Keep doing your amazing work, you beautiful being.
I really appreciate the joke at 21:39
Taking five tries to get everything right in one go, just to then "ruin" the finally perfect clip with that information. After telling the audience that it took five tries, you might as well have stitched it together, making it clear for the audience that it took multiple recordings. But going to great lengths to make sure everything is perfect, just to then destroy everything without reason is just plain hilarious.
Don't forget to like it cause that probably helps algorithm
FEED 👏ME 👏INTO 👏THE 👏MACHINE👏👏👏
This comment is evidence of my enthusiastic engagement with this content. Blood for the blood gods, interaction for the almighty algorithm.
Like straight up you are one of the channels I can’t wait to get a new video from. Love your work keep it up man!
I would like to share you with my favourite bit of flavour text, found on the card *Canyon Minotaur* M11.
"We'll scale these cliffs, traverse Brittle Bridge, and then fight our way down the volcanic slopes on the other side."
"Isn't the shortest route through the canyon?"
"Yes."
"So shouldn't we-"
"No."
Hi, I found your videos yesterday and I'm very happy to say I've been binge watching them ever since. You have amazing quality content - love it, man!
The ukulele suddenly coming up into frame had some excellent comic timing.
That's the second video I watched from you and I recognised a pattern they are long and funny ^^
I'm glad that's the pattern you've noticed :3
One of the best all around videos I've seen on youtube in a while. Interesting informative and funny. Rocked it.
"And this is why we should go back to Lorwyn" was my favorite part
I love your content, seriously one of the best presentation style out there. You remind me of rhystic studies with the effort and quality. Truly phenomenal!
"I do not like this, Will.i.Am"
Somehow this is the thing that made me die of laughter for a minute. Holy hell that came out of nowhere
This was the most interesting and fun video i've seen in a very long time, im happy of having found your channel
I'm SO happy to have stumbled upon your content today.
You are extremely talented, clearly over-prepared, cleverly funny, and offensively handsome to boot.
Thank you for what you do. I admire your knowledge, dedication, and delivery.
Oh and that was genuinely a very good cover of the song! :o
Yes! I’ve been checking CZcams everyday for two weeks waiting for a new video from you. New favorite content creator☑️
AAH! Thank you Tim! That's hella cool to hear
I'm studying the Theatre of the Absurd in school so that last line before you sing has me in STITCHES!!
Aaaaand the preview card line broke those stitches again...
You had me rolling on the floor laughing at the end, no joke. I loved this!
This whole piece was phenomenal. Thanks for taking the time.
YESS the video is finally here! It's a Christmas miracle!
Get a top hat and your metamorphose into a magician will be complete.
If there was space, here is my flavor text for storevv from war of the spark. "When a golgari takes up arms, he leaves no appendage behind"
Dude. Your content is FANTASTIC! And your command of language is absolutely brilliant. Thanks for spending so much time creating this content for all of us!
Smashed it. I especially liked when you became the monarch
damn that was a legendary ending and also amazing editing. keep up the great work :D
Really loving the content! I hope you keep up the great work! I love the style of the analysis and the use of sources. It really shows your knowledge of the subject matter!
It's crazy how well produced and professional your videos are considering how new your channel is. You are quickly becoming one my favorite youtube channels!
I'm a simple man. I see a spicy video, I click.
That moustache. Dear god its glorious. Along with the hair.
An absurdly well made video! Keep up the good quality. No need to rush the videos.
Excelent video! Loved the quality, work and humor in the video; really a stand out CZcams channel (not only MTG). Your All-Star cover at the end was the cherry on top. Looking forward for more now that War of the Spark is almost out!
I love everything about you. You are beyond wonderful to listen to and hopefully get to meet you in person one day. Keep up the amazing work.
It'd be so lovely to meet you in person too!
It feels like you have found an outlet and a way to express your ideas. You have a gift and a talent that not many people have. The way you communicate a thought and how to teach is beyond your years. I'm really critical about CZcamsr and the amount of professionalism that they put into their video, you, on the other hand, is exactly what we need. The way how you present and communicate shows off a gift that you have. Please please keep this up, you are on to something, and you have entered this magic community at such key time. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. ^_^
Personally, my favorite netflix comedy special would be John Mulaney's 'New In Town'
A legitimate contender, I completely agree!
"Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die." Mel B(rooks)
I know that this is a bit late, but drill bit's flavor text is perfect. To bore a hole, you just increase the size of said hole. So it being "never boring" is perfect because it's saying it's exciting and they'll always be making a new hole
Another excellent video, maybe your best yet, since it left me amused, but also taught me something.
This fellow sings with an American accent. (And he sings well too.)
AAAH Thank you :D I was so worried about that section.
Amazing as usual! The turn at the end was sublime
Awesome Quality! Keep it up... Smiled a lot at the end (Lol)
Okay I actually started laughing when he started singing all star
Lol youre actually ridiculously talented.
I'm really not! But thank you for saying as much!
My personal favorite pun was always werebear, and his right to bear arms. Though I think the cheekiest thing we ever did mtg wise was mail Charles Manson a Timber wolves. The green wolf that gains banding if you control a plains. I really hope he wondered why we even bothered right up until he died.
Amazing video! Yours is the best MtG channel by far
FINALLY YES PLEASE
The content crow approves.
I really enjoyed that you included actual studies and references!
Absolutely love sitting down with a tea and watching your videos - your mix of humor, technical concepts, and of course, magic, is honestly the best thing ever 👌 keep up the good work man.
Im still waiting for flavor text, saying ,,Cool story bro"
It's a tragedy that there was no space for flavor text on sagas. That would have been perfect there.
I'm a fan of the nails! :D
The pauses I had to make with this video was so that I could catch my breath from laughing too hard. Great job man!
I'm glad you didn't do a suffocate!!! Thanks so much for watching and enjoying my stuff!
greatest mtg channel I've seen in a while, you have single-handedly gotten me interested in the game again, keep up the great work my guy i love your videos.
10:31 *NOOOOO NOT YOU*
So, when are you releasing your cover album?
Still one of my favourite videos. Ever. Not just of yours, but in general. Great Video. The bit at the end gets me everytime xD
It makes me happy to see someone making writing fun and interesting in the era of txt talking
