I find it hilarious Michael was disbelieving at how they could pick "Bug Men of St. Christopher" before picking the equally ridiculous, though correct, "Vampire Taxes."
You do, very sparingly, but always awesomely, get the moment where you know what the answer is or type in the right answer and the game is like "pssst, that's the correct answer, pick something else". Maybe that happened.
@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN Nah, 4 are straight out eliminated because of references that wouldn't make sense and when tossing up between which was more likely written by a person in the room Vampire Taxes is less likely than White Man.
I didn't really find "vampire taxes" ridiculous. It sounds like a very classic name for these kinds of controversial things historically. Just like "Jim Crow Laws" or other things like that
@@Ravenishish i- the piece is clearly from a time where criticism of "white man" was NOT a thing in art, so it would make zero sense. Vampire Taxes doesn't sound weird if you remember this was before "vampires" became just a bit of pop culture.
@@solarprogeny6736 Honestly early 19th century art's never been a particularly strong suit of mine to the point where I guessed it was an older art style but without looking it up I couldn't rule out someone using that same style in a critique piece in more modern times, and frankly can think of several symbolic justifications of doing so. I'm more familiar with the Renaissance and the cubism movement.
@@pwnorbepwned Gavin did something similar when he nailed everyone with 'Cheese Rolling' at the end of a Fibbage 2 match, only he was fifth instead of sixth.
You know in retrospect Vampire Taxes is the only one that really makes sense because it has no relevance and/or comic value, so it has no reason to be there except for the fact that it's the correct one.
@@zelosjr idk it isn't that hard to figure out this game likes random answers and to put weird shit yourself. not that i think red herrings are a bad idea
Pretty sure this was deception with advantage and not even a Nat 20. If playing for accuracy, Michael's answer sounded more obvious than the truth, and both his answer and the truth sounded leagues more obvious than the memes and pop-culture references. So there was only two and half real options to pick from, the racist but believable "White Man", the strange and confusing "Vampire Taxes," or the totally believable and in no way a lie, "Bug Men of St. Christopher."
@@wolfram4234 It's from Fibbage 3 with Tim Gettys, at around the 22:50 mark. Here's a timestamped link! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YlZXsP3DW_g.html
For anyone who remembers this vaguely but can't remember it, it was a Twitch Highlight from Ray playing with his fans (mods?). But yeah, it's on the Brownman channel, not AH stuffs.
This is literally my first time seeing a Ryan infidelity joke since everything went down. I thought everyone was too afraid/soon to make one. Unexpected, but funny.
Michael can get everyone in Fibbage with a lie while only he gets the truth, and meanwhile in Drawful Gavin can make the truth so obvious that more than one person gets the right answer.
@@iamzsdawgy "The people delivered to the vampire taxes"? I was never an ambitious english student, but unless I'm missing something with the etymology of taxes or vampires, then the phrase is basically nonsense.
@@SailorPupitar AFAICT, "Vampire" is being used as an adjective, modifying the noun "taxes" - although in the image, the "taxes" are being personified as vampiric monsters. The phrase "Vampire Taxes" has the same structure (and similar meaning) as "excessive taxes". I can see how the phrase might seem ungrammatical if you took "Vampire" as a noun and "Taxes" as a verb. This _might_ have been less grammatically vague in the original French.
I’ll be honest. I initially thought this was going to be a jab at Ryan, given the situation. I’m glad it wasn’t though, this was really funny, and it was nice to laugh instead of being upset at the news.
"the people delivered to the vampire taxes" doesn't make sense to Fiona? pretty obvious to me. "vampire" is used as an adjective, not a noun, so the taxes don't have fangs and turn into bats and shit....more like the cause people to be sucked dry of their livelihoods. it's all a big allegory that greed turns hardworking people into humanoid monsters (like bugs and vampires and whatnot) just feels like she didn't connect the dots.
I’ve never been more proud of myself for correctly guessing A) that it was Vampire Taxes (because no one would come up with that shit) and B) that specifically Michael wrote Bug Men
I mean, if the game called the piece "Le peuple livré aux impôts suceurs dans la grande fosse du budget" instead, then......I forgot where I was going with this.
There was a time where gavin did the same thing. The question was something about an unusual sport somewhere in england thats held annually. His lie was cheese rolling knowing everybody will pick that, and the truth was toe wrestling.
