Andy Is Now a True Pokemon Master | Show of the Weekend: We Read Pokemon Magazine

[@AnamFatima]

Andy is giving the elder sibling humouring their younger sibling energy again.

[@eliottdewitt893]

When he says "i can think of another boy who is very busy" 😂

[@gamepassghost]

Yeah, of course your controllers plugged in, look how fast you’re going!

[@SohiTheTinyKittenHuman]

But Andy is not a dad and Luke is!!

[@AnamFatima]

@@SohiTheTinyKittenHuman True, but Andy has been giving big brother energy long before Luke became a dad. Take the playing Mousetrap video for example (there are more but it is my favourite).

[@SohiTheTinyKittenHuman]

@@AnamFatima I’m just poking fun at the poking fun 🤩 hehe

[@Icam_here]

good to see how Andy is totally into this Show of the week and not looking at all like he wants to escape

[@marcelgabrielcilidariu6813]

After the trashfire that was last year he's probably very glad to be in the studios for anything 😆

[@dra900nka1n]

Substitute teacher vibes

[@Jambobist]

I don't know what Andy has against normal adults doing normal adult things.

[@looler12123]

Between this, the livestream where they talked about their food-related adventures through Europe, and more, I think Luke and Andy as a duo is a gem I can’t get enough of from Oxboxtra. Their ability to riff off each other and escalate the bit every time, I’m just laughing from one joke to the next the whole time.

[@pokeflip6603]

In which stream did they talk about food stuff?

[@randomthunk]

@@pokeflip6603 The "which Animal Crossing character are you" quiz, around the 43:30 mark. No hyperbole, one of the best Oxboxtra bits around.

[@nikkorocksalot5254]

If Pax Andyonica does not get integrated into the DnD campaign, I'll write my own fanfic No one wants that. Even me. Don't make me

[@pmonday]

That's still the best moment of the channel as far as I'm concerned.

[@soft_butter4629]

James: “fifty fifty”? I laughed so hard

[@marhawkman303]

My thought was "1 million? Maybe 1 million Won... but dollars or pounds? NOPE!" Seriously. Pokémon cards aren't that pricy. Luke was surprised the one he got was only 2$... well.... the cheap cards are less than 1$. Something that considered bad and only owned for the novelty value is maybe less than 20¢

“I don’t think we’ll be THAT desperate for Pokémon magazine” - The Luke Westaway story

[@johnnygma]

Andy is gonna wear that wristband every time he has to judge another Pikachu drawing, isn't he?

[@SolaScientia]

I can picture him holding his arm up and using the wristband as a reference to explain how theirs doesn't look like the Pikachu on the band. I'd love to see that happen.

[@penguingonemad]

I can just imagine Ellen coming back to the studio after this: Discarded Pokemon cards littering the ground, stickers covering every surface, Piplup pinup hanging in the canteen, Andy furiously writing Sonic/Munchlax fanfiction and Luke entering his bank details for a Pokemon magazine subscription.

Mike walks in, Andy: "Oh no Mike's here!"

Watching Andy and Luke barely contain themselves whilst perusing this very serious piece of literature had me crying with laughter on a Saturday morning so thanks guys!

“USING VIDEO WIZARDRY…”

[@zulubunsen9067]

I love that a) Andy somehow always gets in situations (sometimes even inadvertently) where he ends up quoting Raul Julia and b) that Luke doesn't realize that the quote is coming until it's too late.

[@ErnestJeanAngeles]

I love this series of "Luke and Andy Unsupervised Studio Fun Times"

I feel like the ultimate test for Andy would be for him to draw a pikachu from memory XD

[@denniswijker7162]

This was indeed lacking in this Pokemon test :P

[@mar_speedman]

And then he has to judge between his pikachu and Luke's pikachu, and inevitably choose Luke's pikachu because tradition

Oh gods. Poor Andy. Imagine the scandal, and the comments under the next Oxmas challenges....

[@looler12123]

16:56 Luke’s slow realization was absolutely hilarious

My favorite part was: Luke:“show James what you’ve done.” Andy:“But I’ve not finished!” Luke: most exasperated look I’ve seen in a long time. 17:19

So nice to have Show of the Weekend back. I've missed this vibe so much. I never knew I could be so entertained by two adults going through a childrens magazine.

[@katfromthekong414]

Andy's why-am-I-here face was class! 😂👏🏼

[@navtektv]

Consider this; out these two fine young gentlemen, unless I'm not privy to some recent Oxboxtra history, Luke is the adult with the wife and kid. And yet Andy looks like the indulgent uncle patiently indulging his six year old nephew. All I can say is that Luke's child is one lucky kid to have him as a dad.

[@donthaveajungian]

I'm so glad that a law was passed requiring the genetic soldier monologue in all videos with Andy and Luke on their own.

[@thatsdruidic]

Please make the Bison Speech a short. I can't stop watching it. It looks like Luke took about 90 psychic damage from it.

Putting luke and Andy together with only James the cameraman as supervision yields the strangest scenarios.

[@kattaylor2919]

I love James and his eternal patience. Wish I could give him a hug.

[@thenightingale699]

I must say my favorite part was the impromptu M.Bison (such a great actor for a sub-par role)

[@KristianGriffiths]

Luke: “Me and James HAVE to agree…” I wonder if James was aware of this ahead of time.

[@jsloanhpi]

I think by now James and Jon have accepted their lot of having to step in at any moment to be, at various moments, the token adult, dispute settler, and/or mayhem enabler. Often all at the same time.

[@mrfunkies]

16:49 and we see Andy's true genius shine. Actual tears of laughter, just like the other videos this week. You two need to do this nonsense more.

[@melvinkachere8782]

I love Andy's insistence on stamping on Pokémon🤣🤣 idk why, but I find it a very hilarious running joke hahaha

A torchic is standing on my chest telling me I’m late for something. We’re truly through the looking glass now, people.

[@ArcaneOwlchemist]

You know how, in shows about people on boats for too long, they see a bird and they think, yea.. normalcy is within reach? That is how I feel about that SofW theme song.

@@matthewgroves2081 as someone whose spent a lot of time thinking about Pokemon and the Harkness test, I've now been thrown for a loop because one of my rules is that unevolved Pokemon can be adults of their species, but baby pokemon can't.
