Advent Calendars 2019 Day 2 | Ashens & Nerdcubed

[@bonsaix]

This has legitimately become one of my Christmas traditions

[@nekowolf583]

I was looking forward to it all year.

[@RIXRADvidz]

Welcome!!! to the FUTURE!!!!!!

[@ChesapeakeRipper]

this has made me so happy that I forget how bad the holidays actually are

[@kierancampire]

I have memory issues, i forget every year all other Christmas traditions my family have held since i was a child, yet in November all i could think about was these advent calender videos and was getting repeatedly excited XD They are such a huge part of my daily excitement for Christmas for so many years now!

[@sam62831]

mine too!

[@samcoek9800]

Guys I’m starting to think this is filmed on the same day. If you look closely they’re wearing the same things and sadness is still in their eyes

[@jakepontin9386]

samcoek i think you’re right. I’ve been studying last year’s videos closely and I’ve found the lighting changes can tell you they started filming at 17:54 and ended at 21:36

[@redcatjack]

It is. They have said in the past

[@GeckonCZ]

Nah, that can't be...

[@doglover_6883]

you lads should give the leftover spices to barry and have him cook you something nice with them as opposed to just eating salt, you maniacs

[@LeafseasonMagbag]

Tobiah Durham they’ve probably already thrown it away

[@xAlexZifko]

they film it all in one sitting

[@Janenba]

@@xAlexZifko Not all. I think it is like 5 to 8 eps per session.

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa95]

I suspect that's why they're taking advantage of them being resealable :p.

[@Lakita2880]

@@Janenba No they are all within one day. They live rather far away and it's just not reasonable for them to not do it all in one day.

[@bearwolfrider6292]

Ahhh, extraashens once a blooming oasis of content that didn’t fit the main channel. Now exclusively the home of the advent calendar. Such is life....

[@ourDreamcatcher]

I came to say basically the same thing!

[@peze80]

This is the way

[@thatguy3421]

Bearwolfrider it’s evolution

[@bearwolfrider6292]

That Guy I agree I believe that ashens has moved one step closer to the singularity. Soon, I fear, he will be uploading hour long videos on the brown sofa with just his motionless hands clasped together and the soft hum of his old computers in the background.

The BBQ calendar is starting to look like the best advent calandar of this series.

I bet the big reveal will be that this years session has actually been recorded on the same day as last year (right after the previous one).

[@blodguizer]

after viewing that Fortnite figure from day two I am reminded that they paid the equivalent of 100 US dollars for that tat.

[@richkawaiipikachu]

Don't Forget in Australian dollars is $151.80.

[@nicolajp9037]

It's over 700,- Danish Kroner

[@ArmadilloAl]

Must be some sort of import upcharges going on, since Funko has it listed on their website for $50 US. Amazon has a list price of $60 US for it (although it's on sale, for some inexplicable reason, for $28).

[@dankerine]

I love how this channel is purely dedicated to the advent calendars at this point, I’m not even mad. Okay maybe just a little bit mad.

Can you do a test to find out how reliable the reindeer is? How much maintenance does it require?

[@oneofmanyjames-es1643]

Dan paid £80 for that funko abomination. You can get it on Amazon for half that, but even £40 is too much unless it comes with the blowtorch to burn it.

He paid more for quick delivery but it's still an expensive abomination

[@ahandsomefridge]

Gotta get rich from that hard ca$h KZbin ad revenue to compensate

[@GTAmaniac1]

the wera advent calendar is the same price and you get a screwdriver kit with it

[@Pawn2e4]

Assuming each door has a figure inside, £40 isn't too bad. The figures are clearly well made and if you get 25, that's £1.60 each. Worth it for Fortnite fans.

Honestly I was expecting Ashens to lose for 24 days in a row

[@DairunCates]

I'm 100% expecting a heavy sweep for Ashens, honestly. If previous years taught us anything, it's that playset calendars are FILLED TO THE BRIM with useless chaff and guff to make up the cost for days with actual toys. Meanwhile, the Fortnite one, all jokes aside, is almost guaranteed to contain a crappy mini funko on every day. Consistently crappy beats out intermittently fantastic almost every time.
