Um actually, Nosferatu is an old word meaning "vampire" and is part of the film's full title "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror". The actual character's name in the film is Count Orlok.
Yes I'm glad someone else caught that too. Putting down count Dracula would have been more accurate then Nosferatu, because he is based on Dracula and was what they call him in some of the releases of Nosferatu
Um Actually, in the animated hit series “Spongebob Squarepants“ the characters name is “Nosferatu“! So Nosferatu is correct if the character in the question is interpreted as the Spongebob character instead fo the original Count Orlok the character is based on!
The subtitles say "apostrophe's are important" when they are finishing discussing the extra apostrophe in the Drizzt Do'Urden segment. I choose to believe this is a sly ironic joke.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme Dude, that was a year ago, I don't even remember the video and don't want to watch it again just for the context of this comment.
Um, Actually, the rings around barrels are called hoops. To be more specific, the wooden parts that make up a barrel are called staves, the top and bottom are both called heads or headers, and the rings that hold the staves together are called hoops. These are usually made of galvanized iron, though historically they were made of flexible bits of wood called withies.
This is the first thing I've watched with Amy Vorphal outside of Breaking News. Its actually weird to see her in a setting where she isn't actively dying from laughter and gasping for air lmao.
Um Actually, you just stole my point, Chromatos. I mean, the point I was going to make, not my actual correction point, because they never look at RU-vid comments for the corrections.
This killed me hearing the "Caves of Steel" answer, rewinding to verify "Steel" wasn't there for us, and realizing I missed a chance to guess an Asimov title.
it's explained in the theme song that fraggles dance their cares away, and doozers work their cares away. without work to be done, a doozer would live as pointless a life as a fraggle who can no longer dance.
@@b.cahill3273 no, that episode is real, one of the Fraggles decides it is mean to eat the buildings, I think maybe Mokey, and makes them stop eating them and the Doozers haaaaate it
I don't know why exactly but Demi saying, "That's my favourite Tom Waits song." After Trapp recites the riddle from the Hobbit had me laughing so hard.
The funniest part of this is during the corrections at timestamp 14:50, when someone trues to explain a bunch of technical words and Mike just sums it up with an exasperated "I'm sorry..." That is the answer that is such in the spirit of this game that it got ME rolling my eyes!
@@blade4408 Um Actually it's spelled duel in this particular situation. Dual means double or something referencing the number two from the Latin dualis from the root of duo.
@@ssggrimm656 also I love you clearing up his pronunciation of it. I mean really the VA that says it the most is amazing. "I know you Raziel." ~ Elder God *chills*
I feel very represented by Demi Adejuyigbe at 16:45 over the use of the word "sisyphean". I've used it on occasion and no one ever knows what it means.
Um actually, Ripley isn't upholding the corporations rules, she's following quarantine guidelines because she understands the value of listening to scientists and medical professionals. Something more people in 2020 should have taken notes from.
Raziel, a name pronounced terribly here, is no longer a vampire like the titular Kain or his brothers, but is now a wraith, having been executed by Kain. He no longer subsists on blood but by reaving souls, much like the wraith blade attached to his arm named Soul Reaver. Through time travel shenanigans, Raziel is the actual spirit trapped in the Soul Reaver too.
YES! I was hoping someone else would point this out. They should've used Kain or Vorador instead. Also it hurt seeing no one get the character and even more deeply one of them writing off Legacy of Kain (Soulreaver) as a fake game. I am sad.
@Plague Tree Get me on the show and you'll have the um actually. There were a few episodes I did better at home than the contestants did. Of course, that's going off the timing the RU-vid edit provides.
It was, but he completely butchered the name of the author and series of Citadel of the Autarch. It's by Gene Wolfe, and the name of the series is Book of the New Sun, not Mask of the Torturer (Shadow of the Torturer is the first book of the series, and was actually used in an earlier episode for a shiny question of the same type).
@@JoshuaArson I thought the same thing. The Book of the New Sun is awesome, although I struggled to get into its immediate follow-up The Urth of the New Sun.
Um actually, when Alan Scott first made his ring, it was not just ineffective against wood. It was actually only effective against metal. At least, that's what we were told. Then, since Alan kept getting clobbered by wooden objects (he could protect himself against metal bullets, for example, but not a baseball bat), the limitations on his ring slowly changed. Of course, even when it was only effective against metal, it still let him do other things, like walk through walls (and of course, the walls were not made of metal). But he tended not to use the ring much early on in his career. He was more of a generic action hero, punching people a lot. In fact, he often did a maneuver which was a clear ripoff of the comic strip character "The Phantom". Just as the Phantom would punch someone so hard that his skull shaped ring would leave a permanent imprint in someone's face (which Mythbusters later proved was impossible), Alan Scott would punch people and leave a permanent impression of his green lantern shaped ring.
I don't know how Mythbusters went about testing that particular idea, but I really want to believe they just straight-out punched a dude in the face while wearing a ring, and called him every couple of weeks to ask "hey that impression gone away yet?"
Um actually, decaf coffee isn't a misnomer. The prefix "de" indicated that caffeine has been removed. Similarly, a deescalated situation may to some degree still be escalated. If it was a misnomer, it would be called "uncaffeinated."
But uncaffeinated implies that other coffee is actively being caffeinated. And de- does imply full removal imo. Do you still have bones in de-boned meat?
@@evah4431 In fish and some kinds of rib-meat, sometimes! @Tracy H, I support this concept as it's even a different description for sodas, which are "caffeine free" if they even say anything at all! Another example: *de*value, when an item's worth is diminished, as opposed to something being "worthless".😅
Also it's impossible to have a 0% alcoholic beer, there will be always a trace amount of ethanol because it's a byproduct of fermentation. Most ethanol is removed through filtering (reverse osmosis.) There are other ways of extraction but they usually alter the beer flavors.
It hurts so much that they missed that Scream question. That scene is literally the killer having an "um...actually" moment about who the killer in Friday the 13th is
To be fair, that "three-legged stool" bit establishes the insane nature of the contest quite clearly, so that Bilbo breaking out that "what have I got in my pocket" crap feels a lot less unfair/unreasonable. That's not a riddle in any sense, but it felt more reasonable when compared to Gollum's outright insanity.
7:45 I love the fact that you keyed in to that particular chapter Amy! On top of everything else that makes it great, it was the most heavily edited chapter when Tolkien went back to bring "The Hobbit" in line with the cannon of the Lord of the Rings trilogy he was in the process of writing. He shifted the "Riddles in the Dark" chapter from a surprisingly cheerful exchange with a much nicer Gollum over, what was then, one of many harmless magical rings in a magical world to an exchange with a twisted creature over what was the single most powerful and corrupting artefact in Middle Earth! Definitely a tonal shift for the book in that chapter.
Um Actually Spike is called William Pratt. Also known as William the Bloody, although he does not like to advertize that the full title is William the Bloody Awful Poet. Spike is a nickname.
Um Actually many vampires in the Buffyverse take on a new name when they're turned. William Pratt -> Spike, Liam -> Angelus, etc. Darla was turned so long ago she doesn't even remember her human name.
@@jb888888888 Um, actually, William didn't take the name Spike until much later. Hell, Angelus and Darla only took new names because that was a thing in the Master's coven. Once they left his employ, they didn't give a damn about their rules. Giles theorized that it came from his preferred torture method using railroad spikes, but it turned out, like the nickname "William the Bloody", to be a reference to his terrible poetry, stated to be "so bad it'll make you drive a railroad spike through your own head". Also, fun fact: "Liam" is actually a short form of "William", so Angel and Spike actually share a first name. That also means that Buffy had at least three different love interests in her life named William.
I remember forcing myself to finish The Dark Tower after liking the first two books so much, and just getting angrier and angrier until I finished the last page and immediately threw the book across the room.
Um actually, Raziel is not a vampire in the picture shown. He was a vampire, but get's thrown over a waterfall which burns him a lot and turns him into this new creature.
13:21 that point about Bill's actor being called Stephen is really interesting. Because Amy guessed that Spike was called James, which is the name of Spike's actor.
@@themailneverfails2992 Um, actually, as long as you're referring specifically to the character in "Spongebob SquarePants", Nosferatu is the correct name.
There's a whole episode where Mookie gets the rest of the Fraggles to stop eating the Doozers buildings because she's like "Yo. This is pretty rude, actually." And the Doozers are like, "The Fraggles have stopped caring enough to eat our buildings, and now we're out of space to build in, so we gotta leave." It's some WILD-ass shit!
Um ACTUALLY, Raziel is not a vampire in this picture anymore. He turned into a soul devouring wraith after spending centuries at the bottom of the Abyss.
Um actually, saying "Gratefully" about P.J. leaving out the full riddles in the dark chapter is patently insane as it is one of the best chapter in all of Tolkien's Legendarium
Um, actually, "The One Ring of Power" isn't the answer to any of the riddles between Bilbo and Gollum. "What have I got in my pocket?" is a question, *not* a riddle.
"It sounds like the most insufferable thing for a friend to do to be like, 'You've never seen this? Great, I'm going to make you watch ALL of it!'" So, true story: I told my friends in college I didn't really like Lord of the Rings, so they made me sit through a marathon of all the movies in one sitting. Can confirm, it was insufferable, and now I not only don't remember anything about Lord of the Rings, but I also hate it all even more.
Not having seen something is completely different than not liking something. If you hate snakes, you don't toss someone into a room filled with them... Your friends may suck?😕
@@KickyFut I mean he has a point though, it can be really annoying when they insist you watch it RIGHT NOW instead of potentially enjoying it at your own pace
I know your friends are objectively in the wrong, and their actions may have prevented you from potentially liking the Lord of the Rings in the future, but it's hard to truly feel bad for you because marathoning The Lord of the Rings is like my go-to if I'm feeling crappy and one of my favorite things
@@the_big_niz11 Yes but now imagine being forced to do something you DON’T like or want to do for hours on end. Now you know how the OP felt and can feel bad for them. That’s called empathy.
I know I’m super late here, and someone might have already said it, but… Um, actually, in the movie Scream the “caller” is not the one who kills the boyfriend on the back porch. The caller distracts her at the door the accomplice ( since there are two killers ) is the one who kills the boyfriend while her back is turned and distracted.
The winner of these three play against each other, and the winner of that one plays against Matthew Mercer and Brennan Lee Mulligan... Or at least that's how it should be.
Man that vampire question messed me up. So many of them were on the tip of my tongue and I can't believe I forgot Raziel's name I loved that game series back in the day.
I want to throw those giant darts at assholes i can't see clear across the map and then hold my face mask down for 30 seconds waiting to consume their souls again, dammit.
After watching dozens of episodes of this show, I just realized that every single thing on the shelves behind them is a slightly incorrect version of a pop culture thing. The red phonebox, the hand doing the wrong fingers, the self tying shoes being adidas instead of Nike, the 21 on the D20, mjolnir being a ball peen hammer, the pokeball being a cube, ecto-0ne is spelled wrong, the n64 controller being one prong too big, leonardos mask having a nose and also being in front of sai's instead of katanas, the rubix cube is a sphere
The Citadel of the Autarch is the fourth volume in Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun. The first book is The Shadow of the Torturer. The words 'mask' and 'executioner' don't appear in any of the series' titles.
Brennan played in season 0, before they had this studio and full-length format, just hand-bells on a sofa. It's weird that he wasn't in it, perhaps he was busy with a Dimension 20 project when they were doing these?
