Thank Goodness You're Here is the funniest game I've ever played! Comic Book: badegg.co/coll... Buy MY coffee: topofthemornin... Edited By: / @treyyates
I’ve got my Void Silver Bundle preordered! Can’t wait! I love the ALTRVERSE Comics!! Thank Goodness You’re Here is fuckin’ nuts! I’m sure RU-vid is gonna have a field day with this game, so I’m glad I caught Seán’s Twitch Stream! Incidentally his reaction to that poor Chimney Dude was so sad and wholesome!
2:11:29 The guy with the big head’s heartwarming ending in the pub being immediately undercut by Matt Berry asserting that his head is “fucking massive” will always be my favourite joke in the game.
11:03 "The Milk snatcher is out", is a reference to Marget Thatcher, before she was PM, she was education secretary, she basically stopped kids having cartens of milk at break time.
@@techmarine83 Margaret thatcher is known for a lot more than just preventing kids from drinking milk, so I'm sorry, even if this particular moniker is inaccurate...ding dong ding dong
Hello, gen X'er here; the milk was actually served up in little glass bottles. I missed them when they went. And then they made the kids pay for their dinners, because the Tories. Same thing with writing materials. Bloody hell, when something as basic as food and learning materials being regarded as a generational privilege, you know the UK has been run into the ground.
my head cannon is that the main character does not even work for the company at the beginning. He just stumbled in and got handed a task like every where else in the game.
Thank you for this. Old American lady who was married to a Brit. He passed away five years ago. This entire video hit me right in the feels, in the best bittersweet of ways. It’s been very reminiscent of so many British comedies he introduced me to, that I fell in love with. Again. Thank you. If you ever feel like the content you make doesn’t matter- it matters.
2:04:20 I love that the gardener put out a pillow for the little guy to land on. Like he’s just gotten used to him crash landing through his roof at this point
@@genericname2747 I don’t remember the exact lines, but basically she tells Mr. Ron that there’s no one here when he says to get the oven warmed up for when “this young man returns”. Mr. Ron then replies to that with “he must already be on his way to Sam’s Hams”
One of the trophy on the PS5 is at the beggining, when the desk lady says the mayor will be there in a few hours, you actually have to wait a few hours until the door open so you can end the game. Edit: It's actually around 15 minutes. But I was just stupid and left the game open for hours before coming back because I thought it would be longer.
@@mewmew8932 Yup, the mayor even explains that he already ask the (obviously) not quite right secretary to clear his schedule beforehand to prioritize meeting you and is shocked you stood out for even the 15 minutes
I can't believe I missed this the entire time god I'm so fucking dumb, I would have laughed my lungs out. Probably would have got it if I haven't watched playthroughs at like 1.5x speed
1:18:15 "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Rog's got a big head and he's massive bellend" is not only quintessentialy accurate to secondary school insults, but one of the funniest fucking lines ever.
So I'm actually from Barnsley (the town this game is based off of) and lemme tell you - it is the last place I would think of to base a game off of lmaooo. It's so weird to see it get this much traction, nevermind seeing one of my favourite ccs give it any kind of acknowledgement hahaha. I can confirm it is exactly like this, and it's super fun as well to see some of the details that are clear homages to the og town. My friend told me abt this game and that it was based off of Barnsley and I didn't believe them until I watched the trailer for the game on Steam and saw what is very clearly our town hall in the bg of one of the shots of the game lol. Thank you sm for playing this and enjoying it, Sean!
A great mix of cutesy and bizarre! I love when people pay homage to their hometowns in their work. It feels real and weird, with a lot of love there lol.
@@kirrb-dot-exe Honestly quite shocking, but while the town irl has its downsides that are notorious with Northern English towns, it does have a charm to it that makes me feel kinda fuzzy seeing it in this format and makes me appreciate it more I think. I never really thought of it as anything too special or worth any attention until I saw it like this, presented with light-hearted, satire humour, highlighting the parts of the town that do make it charming. Ofc this is what Northern towns are like in general, but its just baffling they picked Barnsley, idk if the game devs are from Barnsley or sumn lol
The extremely British vibes of Untitled Goose Game with the same isometric view mixed with the sheer unhinged randomness and insanity of something like Jazz Punk? Brilliant
@@gerardwayseyelash there’s a part right at the beginning of the game where it asks you a question in “Northern”. If you select ‘no’ you get “English” subtitles but if you select ‘dead reyt’ they give you subtitles in their dialect 😅
2:19:18 *”THANK GOSH.”* _”ah! thank goodness your here!”_ *”N O O O O O O O -“* _”I’ve lost my sandwich ingredients”_ “NO, NO, NO.” that’s gotta be one of the funniest moments that I know from this youtuber
There's something so likable about that funny little man, even when he's fucking things up you can't help but trust him. Oh, and the little guy in the game isn't bad either
This game is meant to be played by an Irishman like my Jackaboy. In fact, I don't think any other RU-vidr would be interested to do a video on a game like this other than Jack.
1:19:53 I love how Sean stands in front of him lamenting the mess he's about to make as if he has no agency in it at all. It doesn't occur to him at all that he could just not smack the guy.
Fun things to note (adding as I watch) - for those who understand the dialect, the starting screen question decides whether your menu text has the dialect too - the family in the barnsworth ad only have peans and tiny pies in their picnic basket - the locksmith somehow unlocked the door on three pints of lager - you get an achievement for punching him until he pukes, which thanks you for putting him in the recovery position - they actually did used to put people on mercury as medication. Bismuth I'm not so sure but hey, anythings possible - the fish & chip lady has paid for plumbing by sleeping with the plumber - she 'used' vinegar during it - if you pay attention between wall scribbles and gags you can make out relationships of the townsfolk - the couple who start banging while the gardener opens the fertiliser have a photo of them on holiday, cuddled up to other people. So i think theyre swingers??? - the chimney guy has a bunch of medals and a model RAF plane around his home...maybe he wants it to be tidy for a reason - Jay'N'Mel is based off of JML, the appliance company in the UK that seems to have...everything. Gardening tools, kitchen appliances, glasses with lights on them, etc - in the back of the fishmonger theres boxes labelled "tab ends", "fish ends" and "bell ends" - the fishmonger is shaped like a fish - bish has his ween out in the ice for whatever reason - the sign at Raj's Chargers says "computer viruses installed while u wait" - the talking people in the meat section have the face of the small kid at the storefront. The one who spits you out is the big guy. - the stuff said in the meat can, logistically, all have happened to one person. It can be inferred that this is what the butcher's son has experienced - Roger's mum died in childbirth, due to his head & the flatline heard (do NOT picture it) - someone told Roger about his head shape that "this is a family restaurant" - Kerry mentions 'Barnsworth Bowls' when winding Florence up. If there's one thing that's british, it's a slightly cruddy arcade/bowling alley to go to on the weekends - nail varnish has alcohol content, so way back when, teens would huff/drink little bits when they couldnt steal alcohol - literally every other home has some memorabilia for the royal family. - don't get whats behind the milk section BUT, farmers are genuinely that weirdly close with their livestock sometimes - from the fact you 'exit' the cow with the milk spray, it either vomited the milk, pissed the milk, or you were shot through the udder. I don't know what's worse. - there's about as many dry, casual sex jokes in here as there is in a normal british town - as the sick guy's soup falls down below, you can see a wrench in the wall. I mean this with the upmost sincerity: its in the suddam hussain execution pose. - in the final sequence you CAN see the mayor for a split moment, on the left of Big Ron. He looks a lot like your player character, down to all the colour swatches, so maybe there's a reason people were so kind to you in the first place? Nobody says "thank goodness you're here" to a stranger - the only real moral I can find is this: dont let people misuse your kindness. Especially in places like barnsworth where a single "yes" turns you into the neighbourhood helper, learn to walk away. You shouldn't be made smaller for helping others.
I think the son of Pasty petes premium mixture ”pie mixture think food extender”is dating the daughter “Florence” of the tiny toms tiny pies. I think it's that mop guy who delivers pie filling Colin. Number2 theres 2 refernces to sex happening. The mechanic and fish and chip lady marge. It goes “ooh” said Marge. “All right Marge, that’s your pipes all cleaned up. And i fixed your fryer.” Said the mechanic. think After the third time you go down the chimney you end up in someones backyard. The gardener is trying to open a fertiliser bag then you get of a clothesline then you fall down. Then 2 old people do the sex. Then giant tomato.
"you shouldn't be made smaller for helping others" is such a bizarre visual metaphor tie-in that i can't help thinking it's intended to say exactly that
With the guy that buried himself in the garden and painted his face green to look like a cabbage. I think thats because earlier there was a woman in the garden with her arms and legs wrapped around a cabbage.
Yeah i played it the other day and i think there was only really one place in the whole game where i did a bit more backtracking than i needed to and felt slightly perturbed xD it really was quite tight for something that initially feels very open ended.
What i really appreciated about this game is you really learn about all the townsfolk (some wayy too much) like at 58:00 you find out the postman is a peeping tom, but earlier one of the characters actually says this and in the context it sounds like a joke, or the fact Florence goes by flo etc and works at several stores because she wants to go to collage to be a vet, it actually had some really great character stories thrown in there without even any really character development which was interesting and it was a weird surreal lovley little peice of art (Also if you havnt watched the Creators little video of them promoting it its also really funny, )
At one point theres a guy sleeping In the homeless man's bed in in his house and he says goose green, hms Sheffield which is a refrence to the falklands war between the UK and Argentina which is surprisingly dark joke given the games tone a ptsd "homeless" veteran
@@smugwendigo5123 I didn't know they reference but to be fair also pretty fitting considering how veterans in alot of countries including the UK are treated, the little nods at mercury lead and asbestos etc leading to lower IQ folk is already well into dark comedy territory considering how many people are probably effected by it and governments just don't care to fix it :/ lot of little nods all over the place of what felt like a Yorkshire version of its own little Idiocratic dystopia.
Fun fact: the drawing of the man with the big nose peeking over ledges is from World War II. His name is Kilroy, though he was originally called "Chad" in the UK, and drawings of him were often accompanied by "Kilroy Was Here". The meme was used in wartime and post-war cartoons, often whenever a character opened a door or a container of food, only to find a sign that said "Kilroy Was Here".
I love how, despite missing some of the jokes and gags in the game, there's still so, so many that are impossible to miss. the sheer amount of interactable things is insane.
1:51:20 Jack saying "i need an adult" then the awkward eye contact between the bobby and milk shy guy had me crying laughing for a solid 10 minutes 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
For anyone wondering, the song the mice keep singing (in the church, the bins and on some of the radios) is called 'ilkley Moor baht at' It's a popular Yorkshire folk song that might be about a guy dieing of an STD I'm not joking
i knew i wasn’t crazy, i could tell by the art style and when he got absorbed by the meat confirmed my suspicions. i’m surprised he didn’t mention it, maybe he forgot?
as a Yankee, i approve this. freedom of speech can have its drawback (like we're currently dealing with back home), but it opens opportunity for creativity that can be funny AND though-provoking. ESPECIALLY if the powers that be needs to be made fun of for their own blunders.
52:28 "I'll have a chicken bake please, love" "Yeah, well we've no butter today, Colin's gone and lost it, so it's vegen, I hope that's alright?" "Ooh no, i'd rather shit bed" 🤣 I love this crude humor
As someone who also lives in England this is way funnier with all the visual references that people who don't live in England might miss. Everything is a reference and it's brilliant 😂
Sean talking about his dad makes me so happy People were genuinely so horrible to him after he passed away im glad Sean can actually talk about him online still Rest easy Mr. McLoughlin
i mean i only ever saw bots copy-pasting the same horrible comment about it all, to rage-bait people. i personally never saw real people being horrible about it, i hope that wasn't the case.
@@clutterbot7279 They were probably all just bots from some backwards craphole part of the world trying to make two cents a day by getting people to click their links.
@@garlicknees same publisher, actually. Untitled Goose Game was made by House House, and Thank Goodness You’re Here! was made by Coal Supper. both were *published* by Panic :)
There's a lot of games i'd love to see him try out, even if just for a single episode. He's done surprise stuff out of nowhere in the past,like Tales from the Borderlands and Paradigm. Had fun things and conversation topics for Jack to talk about to offer. Stuff like Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, Blud and perhaps even Cookie Cutter seem like things he could have had a lot of fun with, for how colorful, out-there, out there, conceptually (and execution-wise) interesting and solid they can be, or simply to help out indies or smaller devs. But as it stands, the channel's current rate of recommendation, and Sean's own peace of mind seem to benefit more from this current format. Any lesser-known games that you'd love, or have loved to see Jack play?
The exchange between Colin and Florence reminds me of a time I was working a sound booth with these two teens and the entire time they're all 'You're stupid' 'Nuh uh, you are' *pokes each other* 'teehee stop' 'no *pokes again*' and I wanted to set the booth and myself on fire
It's always so amazing when Sean puts out a video like this and it's like... he could've been the voice actor for every character. Your range is incredible, my dude.
2:10:53 (In response to the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands ‘taking Goose Green’, HMS Sheffield was ordered on 2 April 1982 to join the task force being assembled to retake the islands.) that’s what the brick seller in the top bunk is dreaming about.
I am so happy Sean took the time to promote his comic. He should be so proud of it and it makes me so happy to hear him promoting his stuff it makes me feel like a proud mom
To bad he didn’t mix in a picture of Biden sleeping when the lock smith was passed out or Kamala when the crazy lady was ranting he definitely missed out
Jacks videos are like Christmas. It’s not often anymore… but it’s so delightful when they arrive. Thank you Jack for being so awesome. You’re my biggest inspiration to my channel.
I noticed that every time someone said "Thank goodness you're here!" Sean became that one meme of the guy on the couch pointing at the screen. Well done, editor :)
