Ex-Men: Gambit 

Gambit explaining the aerodynamics of a gyro is the best thing I've seen all year

He kills it with the accents. This french accent, and nightcrawler's german accept were spot on.

“Throws stuff” is literally the super power of one of the Umbrella Academy guys 😂

His power isn't throwing stuff, it's turning anything he touches into a fucking bomb

"you're fired" "Nooo" My favorite part of the whole thing

"Can you throw a Magic the Gathering card?" Had me dead Lol

When you have an Omega level mutant power, but people think you just throw cards 🙃

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

"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.

Even after all these years, I love how he went French instead of Cajun.

His gloves are the apparel equivalent of typing : "lIkE tHiS!"

Marvel fact #32: Gambit invented the middle out algorithm after getting fired from X-men

The ending should have been Gambit turning the desk into a bomb.

"What happens if you run out of stuff to throw?" X-Men '97 actually answered this recently.

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.

Gambit can touch anything and make it explosive. He can actually make a person a bomb.

"Could you throw a Magic: The Gathering card?" "It's quite fitting." LOL

"You're still messing with me, aren't you?" "Indubitably."

Who's here after the newest episode of X-men 97?

That's Thomas Middleditch if anyone's interested.

I hate how good this series is. Damn you, Peter Holmes.

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.

Gambit is probably one of the most useful of the X-Men. He's ridiculously powerful.

Maybe if Gambit got a Claow it would interest Xavier.

Are we really just gonna gloss over the "i can make anything explode" part?

He can also use his claaaauuuwww.

The actor who plays Gambit is f#cking awesome xD

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??!! :(

1:35 you can tell he was going to say "you're still fucking with me are you?"

“I’m just going to keep it then as ‘throws stuff’ which is what I had”

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.

“Oh cool” “Yeah!” “No, no, f@cking no” 😂😂😂

Anyone here after the Remember It episode of the X-men 97?

Holy shit I watched this years ago when I didn’t even know who Thomas Middleditch was

that actor does it so well, i actually feel sorry for Gambit :D specially when he mentions his "staff" :D

gambit has a better suit than the one using in wolverine :origins

Gambit is litterally one of the most powerful mutants lol im s salty years later

“You could? Cool!” “Yeah!” “No. No. Fucking No.” 🤣 Kills me to this day

HOLY SHIT SILICON VALLEY SHOW CHARACTER .

"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.

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

The way he says "I got my playing cards" is brilliant 🤣

Years later and this still has me in stitches. The Nightcrawler one is also really funny.

Oh c'mon, how does Batman never run out of Batarangs? OR DOES HE?

I love how he caught himself just before he said 'are you fucking with me?'

"None of this cats is coming back to broadway shit". 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

"Would you please throw yourself out? I could melt you with my miiiinnnndd~~~." Lost it there XD

Thomas Middleditch kills it in these sketches. His Vega impression was hilarious. 🤣

It's a little more terrifying to consider Gambit can make ANYTHING explode as long as he's touching it.

"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.

So, making shit explode doesn't count?

"what happens if we get attacked and we're NOT in a 99¢ store 🤣🤣🤣I am HOWLING

1:43 i went back to this video years later just to see this reaction again

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.

Gambit doesn't just throw stuff. When he throws it, it explodes.

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

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.

Even better.. Cats is coming back to a theater near you.

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.

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

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

Coming back to this all these years and seeing it’s Thomas Middleditch makes this all that much better

Deck of Cards: 52 thin, portable, slim grenades

RU-vid: „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

"Oh you have a staff?? I didn't see that on file." *flips folder open and closed without looking

Thomas deserves an award for that portrayal of Gambit... just awesome and hilarious

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.

This is Pete’s best character.

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!
