Cartoon Critic I'm sorry, but golf is so boring, that if it ever gets put on the TV at my house, everyone instantly falls asleep, regardless of whether we can see it or not. I know, complete exaggeration, but still, it's golf.
I got picked so last once that the team captains actively argued about who was stuck with me. Then I proceeded to pull all the weight of the team and even though we lost and they blamed me (assholes), the coach said I didn't have to play anymore for the rest of the year. I got to be the assistant.
I always got picked among the first in PE. for dodgeball especially, since I had glasses and my class was too nice to throw a dodgeball at a guy with glasses... I was merciless when I got the ball though xD
Until I read "glasses" i was about to praise you. Nevermind then. PS: I don't reme,ber ever getting pick last in P.E. though it probably happened at least once.
I was actually pretty good at catching and dodging. And once saved my team when I was the last one left. You can bet your ass I was still picked last, however. Good times, good times.
Archery?! Why couldn't THAT be my high school?! The only thing we did in P. E. was volleyball, sometimes basketball, and soccer/football once a month. At least I didn't have to do the other two...
I personally think that the worst players in the class should be the ones to pick the teams. That way, they could compensate for lack of skill with knowledge of your own classmates. Or just have the pickers rotate across the entire class, so that noone ever got picked last *every single time.*
I was always picked last as well. I was also automatically partnered with either the most annoying student or the teacher because no one wanted to be with me
I don’t even remember if I was picked last much or not. I just assume so, because I suck at sports. The only time I remember winning was dodgeball, when no-one threw at the OBVIOUS TARGET JUST WALKING AROUND THE ROOM (me) until there was one person left. Man, I feel nostalgic.
That dodgeball story reminds me of one time in 9th grade, where all the freshmen students were playing essentially Mega Dodgeball and participants were picked based on random things, like what color shirt you were wearing or whether or not you had a specific pet. I participated in one of the rounds, and I basically stood in the corner until it was me and 2 other students left, when I went for an elimination but bungled it.
Reminds me of the time I got hit square in the face with our (foam) dodgeballs while playing what is essentially kickball but with one base and home. Made it to base (which was at the far opposite end of the gym), turned around and had a ball greet my face. For some reason I broke down laughing my ass off.
Yeah I was always one of the last ones left in dodgeball. Both because they forgot I was even there and I have a really crappy throwing arm so it was a quick and easy win at the end. Man, this video is just reminding me of all the times people treated me like shit in gym class.
Not-so-fun story to go along with the being picked last thing at the beginning. One time when I was in middle school, not only was I the last one to be picked, but the two team captains were actually fighting with my gym teacher, both absolutely refusing to have me on their team. Both teams were standing on opposite sides of the gym and I was just standing in the middle, alone, as the teacher counted the two teams to decide which one she would force them to add me to. And when she decided, the team captain actually started yelling and saying it wasn't fair that they had to take me. It was so humiliating. And for an added bonus: this was a game where we had to all get to the other side of the gym, but we could only stay on the other side if we were carried over. Being fought over because nobody wanted me was extra worse because I had anorexia so I assumed nobody wanted me because I was so fat when I really wasn't at all. I was also the last person left on my side and my team almost forfeited the game because they didn't want to carry me. I think the guy even said he didn't want to touch me. Definitely one of my worst childhood memories.
+John zhao I'm sure it will if it hasn't already. Those guys would be around age 18-21 now, so they're just realizing the world is tough when mommy and daddy aren't protecting you from it probably.
My high school required you bring a permission slips to your parents every single SEMESTER you had gym for the full 4 years and get signed parental permission to play dodgeball. Thankfully I hated dodgeball and you could choose to walk the track instead so I didn't care too much as long as my parents didn't forget to sign the paper.
At my school (USA) we are able to have archery due to the teacher being certified to teach the program... And yet there's no dodgeball. Probably because high schoolers would take the chance to beat the crap out of someone.
My school system was adamant about the dodgeball ban, but the day after a P.E test (because we had those in high school P.E) the teacher walked up to us and said "if you want to, you can use the auxiliary gym to play dodgeball."
Funny story, I was usually one of the last three kids picked last during elementary school. And I was usually stuck with defender, when playing soccer or hockey. And I was actually pretty good at sports as well. Elementary school was understandable because bullying issues back then. High school made no sense, you would think a 5'10, 230 lb. guy would be at least the top four choices... And since I was part of the NH school system. We didn't get the cool sports like archery or anything like that. We were stuck with flag football, dodgeball, you know the usual stuff you see in high school gym class.
Every one of these has me hoping that Tim wins every time, I think that might be because he was the first let's play channel I actively really enjoyed, even if I don't quite like solo stuff anymore.
Tim won this in my eyes. If they were not confused on the rules on the first turn when he went he would have had 22 points by the end. Good on Tim for playing really well in this mode.
I can't remember if I was picked last or not, but... I do remember how much we played floorball. It reached a boiling point after we finally would have had something fun and exciting in such a long time, only for it get torn away because the dumbasses in my class *broke the thing we were supposed to play with.* My heart broke in the moment. I was very upset and I cried. *We played floorball instead.* I was indescribably furious and full of pent up rage, begging to be released. Hell, it went as far as me hitting someone with the ball as hard as I could on accident and barely feeling an apologetic twinge in my heart. Never again have I been excited to do something... With one exception.
Nightmare Cookie Something similar happened to me as well. It was the last day before Christmas break, so they let us play ping pong. It was awesome until one asshole dented one of the balls and didn’t own up to it. We had to play netball instead
I hear ya about being picked last in PE and being paired up with some random person. I too was always the goalie, even though I sucked massively at it. For some reason, however, they rarely let me play in the field, even though i had a fast sprint and rarely had anyone covering me. Sadly, my classmates were selfish jerks and almost never passed the ball to me, even when I was close to the goal and had no one in front of me but the goalie.
I got kicked out of gym class by my teacher once because my shoes got untied twice in 5 minutes during basketball. Then I got kicked out again for not catching a ball during kickball, because the sun was in my eyes and it wound up landing right next to me.
The teachers always did the picking for sports for us, but I remember one time volunteering myself to play on the girls football team in gym class to even out the teams and so I could actually score points

Getting picked last is me 24/7. Just like people purposefully stressing me out so that I'm unable to play naturally anymore, rule twisting, writing my score down as 0 before I even play, ganging up and, because why wouldn't this be a thing, people leaving their post, walking across the entire playing field just to tell me I suck and then walking back again. Oh, or even not getting chosen at all (yes seriously, I've had times where I wasn't able to play because nobody wanted me). HOORAY DYSPRAXIA.
Emile, that's....not what a Royal Flush is at all....it's not even what a STRAIGHT Flush is! (Strictly speaking, a Royal Flush is just the highest possible Straight Flush...how did he get "large straight all in the same suit" instead of Straight Flush if he knows poker hands?)
those are different things. a royal flush is 10 jack queen king ace all in the same suit and a straight is any other straight of the same suit. sorry if im misunderstanding why you are asking the question though.
Everyone here's Making jokes about TRG's teamwork... Me: This minigame does not involved team work in any way expect for the soccer team part which even that is a stretch. :p
I was always picked last. And not just in PE. Nobody ever picks me when people form groups in class. Being put into a group by a teacher makes it feel worse.l because it feels like I’m there just to fill space for a team lacking enough members.
Double Dee Edd Boy I feel you! Especially when we had to form groups of 4 and me and my 'friends' were 5 people in total, I was always the remainder and they didn't even care.
I just remember asking the teacher if I could work by myself because all of the productive classmates were already in groups and I didn't want to be stuck with a slacker... sure I was labeled as antisocial, but at least I didn't have to carry any dead weight
My P.E. basically cycled through basketball, health, volleyball, and tennis, with the occasional fun game, like capture the flag. As far as picking, I was usually picked last until I befriended some of the more athletic kids.
This might be a little more exciting if each player got to choose team members from those who haven't taken their turn yet. Maybe if each player started with only 2 players on their team, plus the 5 in the middle... then the first player has a pool of 13 to choose from, and can also make moves to sabotage the other players by giving them "bad" members. That might get a little complicated for some players, though, I s'pose. ...Just the concept of this mode brings back bad memories for most folks, anyway. :x
Hearing the guys talk about which ways they weren't picked last kinda reminds me of the ONE game in my gym class where I was picked first for goalie purposes, and that was a game called boccer (which was a cross between basketball and soccer) All other sports, I was picked dead last, and if I wasn't it was due to popularity I had at the time
Chris did that in WLTP as well (missed out on a 12 actually) while I had to tell my cousins how the game worked during their turn so they wouldn't make the same mistake. You ought to play this once or see this played once before recording it for RU-vid.
I wasn’t really picked last for teams, since teams were usually either picked by the teacher, we just split off into our own teams, or the class was split in half. When we formed our own small teams, I usually couldn’t find another group, so I get put into the smallest group. The reason that happened is mainly because I didn’t talk to a lot of my classmates, so they didn’t really know me. Luckily, I’d gotten to know some friends later, so it didn’t happen much later. Oddly enough, even though I wasn’t great at most sports, I was the ‘clutch player’- through sheer dumb luck, I was the last remaining player in dodgeball and would manage to rescue my entire team, I could score critical points in things like hockey, kickball, tennis, or basketball, or, even if my team lost, I’d somehow survive in capture the flag or anything like that. I seriously don’t know how that stuff happened.
Rewatching this series, and wanted to put my high school P.E. experience so far. I have been picked second last once and a bit before last the second time
I was never picked for P.E. to begin with. I had an alternate class that was just me. I didn't have Special Needs or anything. I was just too inept and hot-headed for anyone to reasonably handle. I wasn't violent, but I got flustered easily and refused to play sports because I was either confused or my eyesight handicapped me because of near-sightedness. Eventually, I got back into it and played football. I made sure that I never had the ball thrown near me, but I could run the ball down the field effectively and even became the "MVP" of my class, as I was apparently doing quite well! I learned to try something new and enjoy a sport in a new way that year!
“...And the teamwo-“ “BWOOOOOOAH!!!” - Stephen Georg and Emile Rosales 2015 0:50 That’s some coordination going on in the preview video. 5:25 Ideally, you’d make the choice that covers both of those outcomes. 12:52 So it’s just “Same is Lame” mixed with the stair minigame from MP9 (or some car MP minigame) and Wii Party. 17:56 So Fruits of Doom only without the ridiculous text scroll. 19:34 It totally is just a tamer Fruits of Doom with veggies/fruits. 27:42 Would’ve been more interesting if you could poach team members of opponent teams as Jon had thought. Least it’s not nearly as luck based as the Balldozer.
Picked last? Oh yeah, I remember two particular instances. Last two was myself and a kid with a broken arm, an eye patch, and shakes, due to a car crash they were part of. They got picked ahead of me. Another instance was when it came to me, the captains kept saying “pass”. For HALF AN HOUR. Got fed up, and went to the library, instead.
My school didn't even pick teams that way. They just picked teams somewhat randomly and always failed at balancing them because we all had zero teamwork skills.
This game Mode is fantastic in terms of strategy. Not only do you have to figure out the best hand from the first row. But if there are no cards on the first row then you have to prioritize getting 2nd place. I wish more board games played more with what position you get in order to receive a favorable outcome.
My school made gym mandatory for all years. They had tests based on pre-existing sports knowledge and had "participation" which based on your performance. We spent three units on bodybuildng, and the gym teacher openly bullied nerds like me, and hit on all the girls and gave em perfect scores even if they just stood there. I did, however, beat him in badminton, which got me a prefect A for the unit.
The only team game I ever played was Frisbee Football during lunch period. I'm not good at all at the mid-field stuff, so I just ran to the point zone and waited for someone to throw it far. Because I tended to catch it no matter where they threw it, I was a high-priority teammate. It was nice.
Oof, that conversation at the beginning reminds me of how I had to take stupid classes for P.E. credits in high school where I hated the class and teacher. Only to find out a couple years later that they changed it and made it so being in Marching Band counts as a P.E. credit AFTER I had graduated. Guess who was in marching band 3 outta 4 years in high school
In middle school and high school the only thing I was picked for (until an unfortunate accident) was Soccer because as a big guy that was fast and was good at it; I was a shoo-in for goalie.
Luckily in high school, I never got picked last in PE since I did marching band. They say it as, "Okay, so this guy might be decent for us" and ended up being mvp for their teams.
I was around the halfway point of getting picked on a team, probably because people knew me well enough to know I could stay out of the pros way but kick the ball when needed. My friends who did P.E (Physical Education) said all they did after it wasn’t required was juggling and rock climbing with a bit of track and field in between.
I was always picked last in P.E. They would be picking teams and my teacher would be like "Alright, Azrura. You go with them." because nobody would acknowledge my existence. People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
HONESTLY CAN RELATE! I stopped taking PE because LITERALLY every class was dodgeball. so once grade 10 rolls around I celebrated because I had PE during the winter term. Then all the last 2 years actually didn't do dodgeball every class and did interesting sports... But hey I preferred my drama and cosmetology classes. :joy:
I was second pick for track and field stuff XD My school divided itself into houses that competed against each other. For anything with running I was high priority, because there was only one person faster than me and he was also the fastest in the school, so between the two of us our house always won running events...
I was always picked last when my friends weren't the captains because the popular, well known kids were always picked first. Then there's me who is just kinda there as one of the lasts needed to be picked.
there was one time i wasn't picked last in elementary school only cause i had a fluke catch in some sort of red light green light football that even i didnt think i'd make
I wasn't picked last in anything except basketball, but that's mostly because I was just too thin and short to effectively catch in football, and too nimble to get the ball stolen from me in soccer. So I had that going for me, which was nice.
I was either picked last or second to last and in every sport I hoped to god that the ball never came to me. Scariest moment's were when the deciding catch in baseball was up to me...
I was always last in PE, didn't help that people had trouble remembering my name too. But hey, at least I got to try archery once....in 5th grade...and not even shoot one arrow XD
There was a moment for you to look at what first place gets, so you could know if you wanted to get first or second place. However I'm guessing it was Emile who clicked through it every time. Basically there was a chance for strategy on whether or not you wanted to win.
Actually in (edit: MY) gym classes no one got picked for anything for teams. You were chosen by when you finished 3 laps (sometimes more if we were misbehaving) around the gym, and divided everyone either by even-number-odd-number, or by two-and-twos, etc. The only thing that was chosen was turn order for kickball and such, which was essentially “you want first, you sit closer to the base”, so you more or less chose when you went.
My gym classes rarely ever "picked' teams. The teacher just divided the class in half and let those be the teams. Whenever there was picking though, I usually got picked around the middle since I could outrun most everyone else (despite not being an athlete in any regard).
My PE for my school systems were all different I was usually picked last or near last (rarely was I last) until in Middle School during our football unit for 7th grade, our captain (our teams were like teams of 4) decided to do a trick play. I sucked at catching any sport ball back then, so he decided to toss me the ball. I could run fast, so I caught the toss and ran passed all the defenders and got a touch down... the captain then just tossed me the foot ball and I always got big gains and touchdowns, even when they had someone cover me for once. That carried over and I got picked higher up, more and more depending on the sport. Usually a sport that required arm strength I still got picked near last, but any thing else I got picked in the middle.
I was one of the best goalies in European Handball and street hockey. I flexed my abs and blocked a shot. It was freaken badass but I had a hocky puck welt on my chest for two weeks.
Since they show you the players that will be available to the winner, I think it would be interesting to have people purposely trying to get second in the mini-game to try and get a better draw. Especially since the Guys were talking about how often first place got screwed.
Gym class in elementary school... I was never pick by a student. The teacher always put me on a team. I think one time she forced the captains to pick me early because I never got picked... But I'm not sure if that happened
Coming back to this, my PE experience so far is that... Well, it contains basketball, volleyball, dodgeball and many kinds of dances. Other sports were there too but were for mere discussion and not so on demonstration, I believe... It's been a while.
14:30 picking the crown was the best choice Jon could have made. He was tied for second with the AI. If he had picked the Mario hat, Emile would have been in first and a three-way tie for second place. If he had picked the pirate hat, it would have been a tie between Emile and Tim for first place with Jon in third place.
