So crazy that we have a whole holiday in the United States just to celebrate the release of the annual MinnMax joke stream.

[@CORRECT05]

It’s better the more drawn out and exhausted it becomes lmao

[@mart8577]

It's like high schoolers pulling an all nighter. Everyone gets loopy

[@CORRECT05]

@@mart8577 this is the perfect parallel haha

[@tyler2010]

Seeing jeff cork will never not put a smile on my face

[@patrickh6551]

As someone who never has a thanksgiving to attend, I'm very thankful for these dopey fun videos every year. Thanks guys

[@hermes_job_observer144]

@1:01:58: The World's most delayed spit take somehow still lands! 🗣

[@strawstack]

This makes me want to pay attention to game news in 2024 just to submit jokes about it next year

[@palepilgrim1174]

It's been an incredible year of Minnmax content, happy to see the subs steadily climbing as well. I feel like they seemed to have plateaud for a long time but this year in particular they seem to have steadily climbed.

[@jonathanbaird]

Totally anecdotal, but I saw the biggest climbs during Hanson’s interviews, the Deepest Dives, and Bosman guest hosting the podcast. The Second Wind (Escapist) interview alone brought in 1,000+ subs. GG, MinnMax. 🥂

[@palepilgrim1174]

@@jonathanbaird Hanson's interviews are pretty much always, far and away, the most viewed videos on MinnMax. And he's had a few bangers this year that were very successful viewwise. So yeah they seem to always reel in the subs. They have shot up several thousand subs just in the past few weeks alone according to some KZbin analytics site I was looking at.

[@ItsVanAken]

I’m thankful for MinnMax’s ghost writers. They knocked it out of the park with these jokes. Uncharacteristically funny!

[@IchibanKasuga-6969]

I look forward to this every year. There's something special about being in a group where you laugh just as much when a joke bombs as when it lands. Enjoy the holiday MinnMax crew!

[@joshzzzzrg]

The worse the jokes are, the more thankful I am.

[@smellywaffels1967]

I look forward to these every year. Thank you Minnmax and happy Thanksgiving.

[@smellywaffels1967]

@mikebrushing1851 I’m thankful for you too. Every Goku needs a Vegeta.

[@ShujinPJ]

genuinely one of my favorite videos every year, thanks guys❤ and that justice league getting a heads up joke killed me, so thank you for that in particular

[@ronkneller4348]

Without question my favorite show of the year, every year. So excited to listen!

[@SteeleGolem]

So excited for this! It's genuinely become a Thanksgiving tradition for me to listen to this while I bake.

[@scottiefeatherstone9683]

The best time of the year baby! Look forward to this every year. GOAT crew in the studio (chefs kiss)

[@WadeWojcik]

Hanson I’m so happy you said you’d want to do this for 8 hours, because I would definitely watch it! Long Minn Max videos are perfect for road trips up to MN during the holidays! HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🦃🍽

[@92Niceneasy]

What the hell did you guys put in Jeffm's Bubly lmao

[@Greenmembr]

YESSSS I was so looking forward to this, they’re amazing every year. I literally cheered when I saw this was up.

[@mwmrhdm]

Finally, the premiere blockbuster event of the year has landed. In Martin Scorsese's words: Absolute Cinema.

[@nognaught]

one hour, 52 minutes, 16 seconds in & ben saying the word "crockpot" is the funniest thing i may have ever heard in my life

I have a loving family and this is still the highlight of my thanksgiving each year!

[@kulturvultur5036]

Thank you for all the amazing content. Been following you guys since last January. Love from Montreal!

[@archonrex5600]

Randomization didn't do it for me, liked it more when we knew & got each individual personality/style (Jeffm reading Jeffm, etc; peppering the Community in worked, the full-on randomization didn't). Other than that, I truly look forward to these every year--Happy Thanksgiving MinnMax!! Years just fly by don't they

[@MichaelROLeary]

The reason for the season is here.

[@dougfresh2354]

There is no way anyone can tell me Jeff M did not come to this buzzed up or high off something! This is the most personality I’ve seen out of this guy since Dan busted his balls during that game informer replay … I’m still thankful for that 😢

[@hermes_job_observer144]

@57:21: JeffM's got bubble brain 😂

[@hermes_job_observer144]

@29:13: Sometimes it takes a village to tell a joke. 😂

[@Profecy02]

Congrats on the engagement, Leo! MinnMax's Thanksgiving jokefest videos are the best thing about Thanksgiving so thanks for making, and making it a long one at that!

[@monkeybusiness1039]

congrats Leo!

[@michaelrfx7]

Thank you MinnMax!! Truly Appreciate your content!!

[@FBuilding]

26:07 I was thinking "oh the sliding pot is such a nice sound touch, it does a little swoosh transition sfx after every joke" and Hanson then wonders if it's annoying for audio listeners! No it's not, it's perfect 👍

[@mikelynch920]

Always look forward to this every year. Thanks y’all!

[@b_traven]

After actually playing Starfield, I'm thankful for all of those layoffs.

[@minnmax]

It's from Radical Dreamers.

[@Some_Random_Guy]

@@minnmax it was so funny the first time I beat Radical Dreamers as part of the Chrono Cross remaster, the music sounded so familiar but I couldn't quite put my finger on why. turns out I've been listening to it every year lol. it is a very good song

Hey, I remember this show from last year.

[@AstromarineCorpse]

[@ARIXANDRE]

[@Adrian_Creates]

Perfection! 👏🏼

[@Mike_L.]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[@GATESOFKELL]

i was in tears for basically 2 straight hours, im thankful for these dumb jokes!

[@pkstarstorm8856]

i'm thankful we finally got a new mainline Final Fantasy game where we can go on a whimsical adventure, have party members, and have deep jrpg customization...... Wait, what do you mean none of that is in XVI?!?!

[@cRub3r]

I'd like to put down the encore monent for Two Tens category nominations

[@iXiClub]

Best video

[@TevorTheThird]

How dare they accuse Team Ninja of ripping off Dark Souls because of Wo Long! They've been doing that since like 2016. It's been close to a decade now! *_rimshot_*

[@AnthonyAziz]

Shouldn't it be Thannksgiving with two n's?

[@TheRealNoobSauceG7]

Oh yeah I remember this, these guys still do this?

[@seangocongo8169]

Joke off?

[@tyler2010]

Dance like the Kinect is watching - Janet Garcia. Nothing will ever dethrone that as the best gaming joke of all time

[@sebslamt246]

What's with the Keighley hate? It's not just this video either. Super weird.

[@hermes_job_observer144]

Great joke! You should've submitted it, lol! 😂

[@sebslamt246]

@@hermes_job_observer144 I don't understand. Please explain.

[@kristaknudsen6882]

Just typical punching up humor.

[@pipgoesthepossum]

As an aside, how is Fairgames not just Fair Game? It makes way more sense and is way catchier.

[@pipgoesthepossum]

This does feel a bit overly sausage fest-y? Maybe mix it up a bit more in the future? Might liven it up a bit? Add a different flavor? Sarah is super funny!
