Ghostbusters, Gateway, Gravity Falls 

Yeah, that's the entire reason they build a gnome-voltron!

I thought I was crazy

I came to the comments just for this! Thank you!

Um, actually! In the canon published version of Journal 3, the author states that even female gnomes have beards. Also, a female gnome is seen in The Last Mabelcorn (strangely, without a beard).

@@PandaPyre OH DANG, this is truly the spirit of the show

There's one rule. Why are they being so lenient with the one rule they have? Lol

They probably just didn’t notice. Trapp didn’t notice at all the first time, it got called from off camera

Also there was nobody who got it correct anyway

Um, actually you didn't correct his lack of an "Um, Actually" by starting with an "Um, Actually."

@@darthwikkie that’s unnecessary, it’s always just pointed out emphatically. “You didn’t say ‘um, actually’”

"Hold my butter beer."

@Decadius Volco ANGERERY 😡😡

This implies that the confusing titles have stopped.

Puny God

@Decadius Volco It's a passing note elaboration involving stepwise melodic motion in one direction between two harmonic tones

He said in an AMA that the points are treated like “whose line” points because there’s literally no prize at the end. Helps keep things light.

I love this show because of the guests. I wouldn’t watch this if it was just random contestants. Definitely reminds me of At Midnight as I wouldn’t watch that with random people.

I get the impression that at original conception they worked very hard to design the show that way because it's core concept could be so incredibly insufferable if not handled correctly. Trapp really has the perfect personality to ensure it stays light and fun

Remember that musical episode? Sometimes it doesn’t work

@@protalghulnist4126 are we sure that wasnt hammed up for effect? I get that there's some truth in the competitiveness but - and I fully admit this is wishful thinking on my part - Rachel Bloom seems a tad too intense, like legit Jan1st 1999 and Dec 31st 2019 if personalities are dates in a calendar, for it not to be an act (having seen her in other reality shows and listened to her in various podcasts).

Their gnomely weakness!

And that's the one thing about this show I hate the most. The filler.

@@hunterdunning1776 That makes you kinda lame.

@@hunterdunning1776 I'm with you, I find it tedious and annoying. I'm fine with some light banter, but I want more questions.

That’s actually why I don’t like it. Episodes need to be more contentious, like the musical theater episode.

@@Hamilgoth2002 Same, I found annoying how "nice" they were being.

I just had the same thought after they were talking about Centurions and Dino-Riders. This is a great episode.

It's okay you can say Brennan

I think the flexibility of the format to accommodate different moods based on the guests is part of what I like about it. Even after so many episodes they still feel different because they allow the guests to either be super "um, actually" in the pedant competition perspective or in the perspective you say yourself. But I disagree that the spirit of the show by being a celebration of nerd culture means it cannot be super competitive

If THAT were the plot of part 2, I'd enjoy it. A legal sci-fi comedy!

@@charleslee8313 the EPA couldn’t keep them down, but Big Marshmallow could.

I love the thought, but I suspect the real reason is that they basically did their jobs so well as to make themselves obsolete. Remember that before the coming of Zuul, ghosts weren't that big of a problem, and they were struggling to make ends meet. Gozer caused most of the spike in paranormal activity, so once they defeated them, ghosts stopped being a significant problem until the coming of Vigo the Carpathian in the sequel.

@@maddie9602 I admit that it has been a few years since I’ve seen the movie, so I don’t recall much about why they aren’t investigating anymore… I just remember that the kids wanted He-man and that one kid says that his dad thinks they are full of s***. Wikipedia says they were sued and bankrupted for property damage and banned from investigating the supernatural. But your theory does align pretty well with the 2009 video game. An architect in the late 1800s/early 1900s built several buildings as sort of spiritual magnets. When they reach critical mass, paranormal activity spikes, and a destroyer god is summoned.

Um actually, in the first 2 issues of the Ghostbuster comic book published by IDW a ghost possessed a lawyer from Stay Puft's parent company who showed up at the Ghostbusters HQ threatening to sue them for damages. However, in that version of the canon, the lawyer could only have known that because the entity possessing him was also connected to Gozer because the Ghostbusters had never revealed to the world how Stay Puft had come to be the entity destroying Manhattan of all possibilities.

I swear pottermore was fun for like one day and then things started going off the rails. Though I love the first Fantastic Beasts movie I really have to consider everything after the books not canon. Death of the author is a real thing and it gives me solace.

Um actually...Yeah I don't think that fact was meant to be talking about wizards at Hogwarts - it would have been before Hogwarts that they vanished it...

@@jacobmorejead8122 yeah, death to the author is my only solace. Also, didn’t j.k. Reference there being chamberpots (via dumbledoor) at one point??? room of chamberpots is still a bathroom I’m pretty sure.

The thestrals also didn't appear to Harry at the end of the Goblet of Fire, despite the carriages taking the students to Hogsmeade station at the end of Harry's 4th year. Rowling isn't great with continuity, plus she's transphobic so fuck her.

To be fair Rowling is a terrible person and didn't remember that Hermione was described as white

Assuming that size is actually an issue, and not resource distribution. A bigger universe (or less populated universe) would still have the same issues if the vast majority of resources are still controlled by a tiny minority of the population. Also, half of Earth's population have been born in the last 50 years. Thanos big boy plan to save the universe would take less than half a century to just be undone entirely.

Y’all are forgetting the fact that Thanos is called “The *Mad* Titan”. He’s insane - his plan isn’t *supposed* to make sense. It’s the kind of nonsense that a kid who thinks he know how to save the world would come up with.

@@hotscottrulz I mean, I'm not speaking for anyone here, but a lot of people are particularly dedicated to describing a genocidal child abuser with a dog shit plan as "sympathetic."

@@hotscottrulz It's pretty odd then that he isn't really treated as wrong in the movies, just heartless. A bunch of people follow him because they're believers in the cause, not one single person ever says the plan is stupid beyond belief

@@hotscottrulz Um, actually I believe that Thanos, like Deadpool is in love with the goddess Death and him killing 50% of the people in the world is a bid to impress her.

That is a great username for a fan of this show

@@markmaurer6370 I truly am the Asinine Assassin

Um actually, there’s definitely at least one occasion where the missing Um Actually wasn’t caught until the episode released. It was addressed in the Corrections section of the following one, but I don’t remember which episode it is

I think it's also the first time the other contestant haven't (successfully) jumped at stealing the answer immediately afterwards.

Definitely the first time the player was given a second chance, and *still didn't say it*!

@@Taurusus Trapp was so close to going "just say 'Um, Actually' and I'll give you the point", but I think he realized it would sound kinda condescending and so just gave him the pity point. I don't mind at all, but that was my interpretation of Trapp's urging tone.

@@dig8634 I wish he'd just insisted on that. The One Rule MUST be followed, even if you get a lot of help following it!

Mast? Everyone's going crazy for wooden poles.

Ummm actually, there is a second rule: the contestants may interrupt anytime, which means this is not "the one rule".

SAME, I was spamming an imaginary buzzer as soon as the map came up

@@tylerprime6741 same

i’ve literally never watched one piece but i saw the red line and knew it immediately

GORGUG

Griffin McElroy and a banana.

Um actually there's no reason to assume that the universe needs twice as many resources to sustain it's current population, that would only be the amount to match the equivalent loss of half of all life, which wouldn't even solve anything due to the circle of life requiring the nutrients of the dead to continue on

Um, actually if the universe simply expanded with no doubling of the resources themselves, there would be no benefit. Furthermore, even if the resources did double, the increase to distance between everything would require even MORE of those resources just to cover the distance, scaled by the efficiency of the transport method.

​@@jerodastI suppose there could be some perfect way with your magic perfect wish to make that not true, but I like this point

Same! I can just imagine the shame of exclaiming “MUPPETS TREASURE ISLAND!!” only to be informed that nope, just regular treasure islanf

Poetic *chef's kiss*

Um, actually none of the things coming out of the Pottermore twitter are facts. Harry Potter isn't real. It's all made up!

I feel bad for your sister seems like an awful job to do

I feel really bad that part of her job is "make this notorious bigot not look like a bigot" cause like. How do you even accomplish that?

@@littlemisspipebomb4723 I’m not directly involved, but I imagine it involves the same sort of rationalizing and careful rearranging of facts Star Wars fans have to do to paper over plot holes in their beloved universe. The only real difference is that the Wizarding World is dumb AND bigoted, instead of just dumb. It helps that Rowling is largely uninterested in the nitty-gritty details of the canon; I gather the team has a lot of freedom when writing the ways magic functions around the world, for example, because Rowling couldn’t care less what Chinese or Ugandan wizarding schools look like. So when she interjects with a particularly problematic detail - like asserting that skinwalkers, an important part of a living real-world religion, were just animagi misidentified by the primitive tribal natives - they have a lot of freedom to sweep that under the rug and say “well, actually, SOMETIMES animagi got mistaken for skinwalkers, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any real skinwalkers; and it wasn’t because the natives were primitive and superstitious, it was just the occasional simple, honest mistake.” They can’t directly contradict her, but they can still do a lot to protect the universe from her attitudes.

@@FatedHandJonathon I'd argue the books themselves are full of so much bigotry and contradictions that trying to reconcile anything is trying to save a sinking ship with a tea spoon. But I've always been of the opinion that they're perfectly fine kids books because of those faults and a lot of people take them way too seriously so who knows

"FUCK! Go to commercial!" - Producer

It's true though

That one was really painful, I haven’t watched that much of one piece and I was still internally screaming.

I've never seen one piece and that was my first guess for that map

I got the two maps that they missed: One Piece and Treasure Island (which was extremely easy). I've actually only seen three One Piece questions on the show and only one was accidentally correctly answered. My three siblings got me to watch it and they swore up and down it was super popular and so important to pop culture yadayada I did watch it and eventually ended up loving it, but I swear they lied to me about its popularity.

Yeah, it's an insignificant event in the long run.

And um actually Trapp mispronounced Tachi!

I always felt like quiz show buzz-ins should just rotate through anyone who hits the button within 1/4 second of each other.

Yeah I honestly wonder if his was actually a bit slower

Centurions AND Pirates of Dark Water! My sister’s going to wake up to several “hey, remember this?!” texts tomorrow.

I don't mean to be rude here even though I know it'll seem so. You misspelled Zac's name twice and in two different ways. That's somewhat impressive considering that they showed his name at the beginning of the episode.

​@@TheHonestL1aryou didn't say "um actually"

@@rachelladue1572 Damn it.

I don't understand why this comment or something like it isn't number one under all his videos! I just watch him with heart eyes everytime I adore him

Yeah I thought he slacked off on consistency a bit in this one. Even first time guests have had harsher rulings on not saying Um Actually in the past, and the "more specific protest can snipe a point" principle generally wins although it was debatable in this case (since the less-specific guess was a legitimate complete answer).

It's more understandable if the magic can't distinguish between the poop and the still processing material further up the gut. It's distinctly possible it was tried and people died by starvation when they vanished all the gut bacteria in their bodies, leaving them with no ability to process food into nutrients.

Not to mention that the Chamber of Secrets, which was created by one of the _founders of the school,_ is directly linked into Hogwarts' plumbing system.

thats because it was made on a moc account and it spread like fire, neither pottermore nor J.K. Rowling actually said that, it was a fake acount

Well a lot of the Harry Potter world type of magic is cutesy. Typically nobody takes anything to its logical conclusion. They could probably magically transmit information to kids telepathically or something instead of having 7 years of school or whatever, as an example. Magic in worlds like this, as has I would say in most media, is not about the just optimized potential possible, just like funny riddle like solutions to human problems from a human standpoint

Beverly Toegold V is used to things not going his way.

@@Azraline I'm pretty sure it was Beeferly Slowgold today. Bev isn't lucky right now

@@christophersteadwell3217 Well as a halfling he’s always lucky.

That may be an anomaly as the journals say they all have beards regardless of gender.

@Theodore MacAulay Um actually, just cause you could grow a beard doesn't mean you have a beard, maybe female gnomes don't have beards as a cultural practice rather than a biological reason.

I have been waiting for that day

Depends on the material component cost for Polymorph I guess :)

Considering it is something mentioned after the books were written I'm assuming it's not explained in canon anywhere, but just as a guess, it's possible the secret entrance was there just as a different room not being used as a bathroom. And I don't know if other ppl knew it was there but maybe when they put the bathrooms in someone who knew about the secret entrance made sure it wasn't found out. Or perhaps the secret entrance was changed to the sinks after afterwards for some reason

I'm actually, *female* gnomes do not ...

Autocorrect WHY are you like this

as said in other comments, female gnomes do possess beards and do exist (although one appears in The Last Mabelcorn without a beard, the 3rd Journal (in black light writing) states that female gnomes do exist and have beards)

@@ikaro555 yeah, there's no point in our comments correcting these episodes when they're 2 years old at this point lol

i think there have been but they're Zoom formatted and on Dropout only right now :/

You didn't start with "uhm, actually"!

Thank you!

Sorry, but you didn't say "Um, Actually"

@@ColeHrusovsky "Buddy, I think you're slime."
