Let's Play OBSCURIO! | Overboard, Episode 16 

“He’s the traitor. He’s going to choose a bunch of feet pics!” -Brian David Gilbert, Safety Fanatic and Bureaucratic Wunderkind 2019

It's weird that everyone dressed up and then didn't tell Simone.

Pictured from left to right A nice witch, Edgar Allan Poe, a raven, Dracula, the female lead of a German Expressionist film.

This is just Brian fishing the outfits out of his closet that he wore in the 1820s

brian INSTANTLY figuring out pat and glaring at him the whole time as pat panics.... he is becoming Too Powerful

“Are you thinking of animorphs?” “I’m thinking of Anne Rice” Okay iconic

did brian have a mustache all year specifically to be edgar allan poe for halloween

Pat's glasses excuse was next-level subterfuge, just when he needed it the most to cast off suspicion. Sneaky boy.

Pat: tries to eat a game piece Everyone else: loud cheering

I’m so glad Karen was sitting in the middle of the table so I could spend the whole video looking straight on at her wearing the beak as a hat. What an amazing costume.

pat trying to wear a costume sans-glasses and then having to put them back on in defeat is a mood

Is Karen the Raven to Brian's Edgar Allen Poe? Even if not, I love the costume! Everyone is so goth, it's great!

brian and Karen's couple costume is so clever I love them

"The traitor's going to have to get really dumb really fast" he says of himself...

Edgar Brian Allan David Poe Gilbert Or: Poebert

I love that BDG is immediately suspicious of the traitor and everyone else suspects BDG.

I love the traitor time music. It ruins all suspense immediately

I love how campy goth they are today!! Also simone looks very good today, wish she altered her fashion at all tho

simone is living the overexpressive silent film wild-eyed femme fatale look i wish i could pull off and i for one love that for her

The Edgar Allen Poe costume is what Brian’s mustache has been leading to all this time

Clayton: You are all wizards... Pat: I'm a vampire. Karen: I'm a bird! :D

Congratulations Brian, the sloshing actually means youre toasting right, at least traditionally speaking! The original purpose of a toast was to slosh your drink in with the other toasters and vice versa, as a sign of goodwill that you werent trying to poison them :)

How is Pat so good looking? Like he really suited the vampire aesthetic.

Thank goodness I’m not the only one who pulls out “vampires are compelled to count in some lore” as a fun conversation piece. BDG always comes through for me.

jesus christ brian really looks like poe naturally i cant unsee it

My thought immediately when the traitor opens their eyes: oh my god of course

Karen tossing her head to get the raven mask to fall forward was... so cute... I'm dead Also the editing on this ep was SO fun lmao. I loved the moment of clayton fumbling with the stubborn card 😂

Where is BDG? And how did you resurrect Edgar Allan Poe just to have him play boardgames?

“Evanescent room” was instantly “Evanescence room”

'I think all dragons are talented' - BDG, safety fan and bureaucratic wunderkind

every time at the beginning when they're explaining the rules I get so lost and have no clue what is happening but then some how as they play it makes complete sense

30:21 the way karen shakes her head at the end to get her hood down honestly looks so much like an actual bird that it ended up looking cute

History exams: analyze what is going on in these two pictures The two pictures: 18:55

like why is pat THAT HOT it's unfair

haven't even started but already liked because I just needed something good to happen today so THANK YOU I LOVE YOU GUYS

the immediate Dab-cula gives me life

"do you ever think that hidden roll games are deteriorating our work relationships?" " yeah totally" my heart breaks

I'm loving bdg and Karen's excellent couple's costumes

HEY WHATS UP I THINK VAMPIRES SHOULD VOTE

Pat looks even more Victorian with his glasses

brian and karen are the hr sanctioned couple we deserve

This was perfect, and pat's traitor energies were delightful

last time i was this early pat was still tweeting toad

Simone is having so much fun mugging to the camera in this episode, it's great

me: hmm, something is off about Patrick but I don't know what... Patrick: I'm not wearing my glasses me: OH

I found out today that one of my friends is a friend of a friend to Brian and Brian slept on his couch. It's weird because as a fan of his content I view Brian as a celebrity of sorts, and this friend of mine has like the opposite perspective of Brian as just some guy and it's just sort of strange to think about each other's experiences with our existing perspectives.

I was at a game store yesterday and I found One Night Ultimate Werewolf and I got it because of you guys so thank you

I can't even finish watching this because it's so goddamn good that I'm losing my mind. I'm at WORK, Polygon. I have to do ACTIVITIES.

I'm only in the intro, but I'm loving how dramatic and severe everyone is being. Then Karen just being the raven. It's beautiful

any game with a traitor, my brain automatically assumes it will be simone

Karen's comment "I'm performing a citizens arrest" got no laughs but made me burst out laughing IRL

So many Overboards recently, thank you Polygon for my life

i am very sad about the hiatus but it’s ok because you’ve blessed me with 32 minutes of vampire pat. happy holidays folks we love you!

Being attracted to everyone at this table is bisexual culture

I never knew how much I needed vampire Pat in my life until this moment 4:55 goddamnit Pat why did you have to wink, why did you have to do this to me Jenna looks SO FRICKING GOOD OMG. The blue details? Love love love. Simone is my queen, her outfit is on pointtttt Bdg makes one helluva Edgar Allen Poe, heck yeah Karen as a raven? Iconic. Nevermore? Evermore! Simone and Pat distracts me because jfc do they fit the kind of aesthetics I love (vampires and darkness) Credit is due where credit is due, and I must say I've never seen a more good-looking grimoire than Clayton before 24:10 Fucking Pat is at it again with a goddamn eyebrow raise and a sly fucking smile just wtf don't do this to me (this comment has been brought to you by "in love with the Polygon video team on main")

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise Brian was Edgar Allen Poe and Karen was the raven.

"Seven Doors, Seven People, Seven *mumble*" Bish is that a mf'ing Zero Escape reference?

I love the use of Camille Saint-Saens' Aquarium in the background, and also the fact that I couldn't make classical music references before last week. My girlfriend has ruined me.

are pat and simone actually related or is that just hashtag jokes i'm not picking up on

I stg this and the new TAZ on the same day? Unfair

Patrick as the traitor makes me so happy, he's the best part of this video.

19:58 "7 doors, 7 people, 7 hours" don't think I didn't hear that zero escape reference, Brian.

i love the music choice for traitor time lmao

Simone gives me "I'm ready for my close up Mr demille" vibes

me, just starting this video: gosh pat's looking awfully pale me, ten second later: o h r i g h t

Simone is Ebony Pat is Da'rkness Brian is Dementia Karen is Raven Jenna is Way

polygons outfits are a whole buffet pLEASE

These outfits are just how id like to dress on the daily

The scariest moment was the realisation we won't see another Overboard till next year

This explanation really hurt my head. I love tabletop games and Overboard, but this was next-level confusing

Everyone is serving so many looks oh my god

this is the exact kind of halloween energy I WANTED and NEEDED

Dabula! Also: y'all are looking so snazzy, great job to everyone involved with the costumes.

Everybody mentioning Karen and Brian's couple costumes which was a surprise to me but no one is mentioning that Simone said that Pat is her brother which was either a joke or I learned two things today??

I like this series but just throwing it out there: y'all should continue Cyberpunk too.

Can I please just point out that just after the gang were laughing at Clayton saying "the traitor can now close their eye....s", an ad popped up with Dolly Parton singing "An' eyyyyyyyyyee will always love you" and I feel like she was joining in on the joke.

Oh my god Karen is killing me. Her face is so serious when she’s discussing it makes the bird so much better

Alternative title: Simone cosplays Marlene Dietrich for 32 minutes straight

Yes! Some vampires have extreme OCD and you use poppy seeds to distract them. I always thought that was hugely underutilised, especially as it took me a very long time to realise that that is almost certainly behind the obsession of one of the most famous vampires in history: Count Von Count.

a lot of hidden role games don't work so good with the "shut your eyes, audience, and play along!" cause every player will have one piece of info the audience gets none of instead, but this one works! v glad I found the time to put it on my main screen and really watch it with my full attention!

The sheer joy this episode brought me is beyond description!

watching this during the pandemic, no way would Pat do that coughing joke now

13:29 Brian's deathstare into the air had me dead!! What is with this man??😂😂😵

those are some extremely powerful lip colours. lots of very good makeup going on here (fantastic job, pat and brian too!!)

30:26, Simones face in response to Pats zinger was the best thing all week.

It’s now obvious that Edgar Allan Poe has been Brian’s sartorial endgame since the beginning of the whole mustache adventure. Well played, sir. Also, Pat starts out as Dracula but by the end I’m pretty sure he’s Laurence Olivier. Which makes a pretty good case for Gill & Gilbert matching mustaches, actually. OH ALSO, Brian’s face at 30:06 is the Halloween 2019 gif I needed.

"Non traitor fist bump..." "(Wow) He (really just) snuck in there." Best dialogue.

Spoilers: I'm loving the traitor interactions after they're revealed

WOWZA! those OUTFITS!! y’all are serving 100% Looks and they are all so spooky and powerful

Simone: What up, y'all-- I think *Vampires* should *vote!*

who needs to be invited to a halloween party when you have a new episode of overboard AND a new season of taz

so is this why brian *really* grew the mustache?

Dying a little bit at the banter about Fay Wray v Faye Dunaway. "Godzilla" - omg lmao

“It’s pointed at the tootsie”

Karen: "do you go downstairs.." Me: "hello" Karen: "without looking at the stairs"

the vampire with the glasses just makes it 1000 times better

An overboard was exactly what I needed to cheer me up today, I love it already ❤️

BDG is very good as the OG of goth, EAP himself. Dead ringer, just a little lighter haired.

Every time polygon uploads videos I'm still in school, one day ill get tired of committing the crime of watching in class, but not today

BDG: we’ll be back in 2020 2020: before that we’re gonna almost start WW3 a couple times, set Australia on fire for a while and have a plague in the first. All of this in the first 5 months so the rest of the year can play out with some other disasters I have planned
