"What's Barry short for?" "Cos I've got short legs"

[@samholdsworth420]

Peak Barry

[@tncorgi92]

Hilarious editing of Paul's ramblings.

[@danforbes3573]

I second that!

[@natgrant1364]

And I'll thirdificationize it.

[@hypnotised-clover]

"Stick it in, come on baby, nice and hard"

[@samholdsworth420]

​@@natgrant1364highly REGARDED comment

[@KlyeKlyeKlye]

Hold on, a Gannon Game that has clear rules (albeit there were actually no rules at all but let's quickly skip that) and the scoring system was based on time alone (and the timing was handled by Chris so out of Paul's control) and thus was fair and without incident!? There must be some mistake.

[@blobbem]

It's a bit like the TV show 'Taskmaster', so maybe he was inspired by it.

[@aryasuri9421]

He basically stole the concept from Taskmaster, so there was.

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

@@blobbem I actually struggle to watch Taskmaster, as it just makes me want to watch Barshens instead.

GANNONS GOLDEN GAMES

[@Bradford_Longflap]

The real star of this episode is Linton, with the Lego sequences.

[@JimSteinbrecher]

my vote goes for the totally seamless cut after barry said "magic edit".

GAME OVER RETURN OF GANNON

[@paddyw5195]

barshens could possibly be the greatest creation ever. Love Gannon what a lad

[@comradeurod9805]

You just have to love the team. They are all hilarious and charismatic. I want to never stop watching these videos.

[@samholdsworth420]

Too bad they didn't give a s*** about you or creating content

[@RichterKall]

Incredibly frustrated by Barry's Bars being upside down

[@swanningabout]

@@ext274 no

[@peterclarke7240]

Three years late, but I feel I have to say: if they were the right way up, the visual reference wouldn't make any sense, thus rendering the entire exercise completely and utterly pointless.

[@peterclarke7240]

@McFlickers Yes. I know. I was making an addendum to the original joke in the form of an absurd statement presented in a deadpan manner regarding Barry's bars being upside down. Bars are, by their nature, neither the right way up or the wrong way down. This is the original joke. I then added to it by saying that they were upside-down deliberately because of some visual message that clearly doesn't exist and is an absurd thing for anyone to believe, so we can therefore safely assume that it probably wasn't intended seriously. Do try and keep up. 🤣

[@rebeccagamble8837]

Linton's editing skills are second to non. I demand we see him on an episode one day.

[@benedictrogers1478]

2:46, had to stop the video due to laughing at the difference between Stuart and Barry. Stuart realises he wasn't told he had to answer the questions correctly, Barry gets out his phone.

[@HelenaRedgrave]

"Gannon's Gauntlet" sounds like the name of a DOS adventure game or something.

[@Sampler19]

I want one. But for Amiga or ZX Spectrum, please.

[@hypnotised-clover]

It sound like an old nintendo adventure game about an elf, but this time, his enemy has thanos powers

[@jamesgregg7180]

Nice to see a game from Paul that hasn't turned into an unmitigated disaster. Revel in your competence sir.

[@Berserkerkitten]

Barry is short for Barometer

[@samholdsworth420]

No it's because he has short legs...

[@josephbagwell]

I saw a wild chuckle brother this morning, bloody pest was digging through me trash

[@MrSquark]

So glad Ashens coughed 'Dave Gorman' I knew Paul reminded me of someone.

[@TheHutchy01]

Everyone in these has a hint of Gorman. Especially Stuart.

By far the best channel on youtube, I can actually relate to the humor. It's the sort of humor you only get after being friends with people for years.

Last time I was this early it was called "Bashens"

[@NeoSync05]

After hearing Ghostbuster obscenities from previous videos and seeing the thumbnail to this one, I'm 100% sure Gannon uses a Gauntlet whilst watching aforementioned materials. And that's an image I 1. Never wanted and 2. am going to have nightmares about for the rest of my days.

[@MrLego3160]

Honestly the only real "cheating" that could have been done would be bopping gannon on the noise and nicking his phone during the quiz.

[@hanvyj2]

MrLego3160 that's what I was expecting!

[@0LoneTech]

I'm just surprised they didn't ask him for the answer...

[@mjc0961]

MrLego3160 That's not cheating. He said he didn't care how the answers were obtained as long as they were correct and that they didn't leave the studio. So stealing his phone is fair play.

[@rwaitwhat]

I was expecting someone to get the crew to help, but they were both quite honest really

[@OLidartz]

MrLego3160 they could have cheated by stopping the clock themselves and do the rest without having to hurry

[@ry4n813]

Barry is the best best chuckle brother

[@NonMeaCulpa]

Love your profile pic!

[@HeyItsAJOmega]

7:04 - little did Chris know, but Barry messing with the lapel mic like that would inspire an entire wave of current Tiktok vloggers to hold their lapel mics the same way now.

[@evillttlimp]

So, I have incredible ADD and I have to have something to do in the background as I watch/listen to youtube videos. Usually puzzles. These ones I actually just...watch. I know that doesn't seem significant but this literally just occurred to me.

[@Bagofnowt]

As evidenced by my lateness, I KEEP watching them and I don't have anything like thst going on to my knowledge, but I need usually multiple sources of stimulation

[@Matt-zu2hx]

Oh my god, Barshens Taskmaster!!

[@ellaisplotting]

The thumbnail is a thing of beauty

[@TofranBohk]

In my area they herd the chuckle brothers into pens each day and feed them spoonfuls of potted meat.

[@Bagofnowt]

Well that's just Rotherham Comprehensive

[@amelialikesfrogs5778]

Paul being little Alex Horne!

[@docsigma]

ALERT!!! We have an Inverted Hens Alert!!!

[@rwaitwhat]

Doc Sigma Don't panic. Remember your training. Remain calm and guide any civilians along with you to the designated shelter. Everything will be fine. Tell my mother I loved her

[@DS-dd7vf]

Great carpets in this episode.

[@KAgius96]

Really needed a good laugh this week. Thank you Barshens ❤️

[@DiggerjohnKansas]

Paul was the real star of that. Well done, Gannon.

[@anumeon]

YAY,, another day, another episode of Barshens. What a way to start your weekend But i am saddened by the fact that the final question wasn't "What is the airspeed of an unladen swallow" :D

[@simontay4851]

African or European swallow.

[@Em86500]

This was an amazing concept. Please do another one!!! X

[@georgesears934]

0:59 The daddiest dad joke to ever be joked by a dad. Bravo.

[@WhiteWolf496]

What is Barry short for? Because I've got short legs... well played barry, well played

[@tobyhuxley]

This needs to be a regular feature!

[@rosstigane]

The Chuckle Brothers came to my Uni on a "fresher's week", they were DJ-ing at some sort of party and afterwards we had a chance to meet them individually and take photos. Crazy stuff.

[@aoifebakunin1966]

The editing for the block tech sequence was gold

[@inthegrass11]

absolutely pissing myself at "what is Barry short for?" "cos I've got short legs"

[@dmd8552]

PAUL GANNON IS THE BEST!

[@ilikemorestuff]

He's alright I s'pose.

[@LloxieFox]

I actually quite liked this one! I hope there's another like it in the future!

[@doubtfulguest5450]

1:33 _"oi_ want you, quite quickly, to leave" on yer comboine 'arrrvister

[@Tedds]

I have indeed seen a Chuckle Brother in my local area. It was repeatedly walking into a lamppost with a bucket on its head, presumably from the window-cleaning ladder it had just fallen off of. Is there a helpline?

[@shamone211]

Dave Gorman! I knew he reminded me of someone. Thanks Ashens!

[@marcusberryman9276]

This is just an episode of taskmaster but with barshens, and i love it

[@mobiusyellow]

Paul's beard is going to be magnificent when we get around to the next batch of videos.

[@fallouthirteen]

Oh come on with that part 2. Stuart has practiced that craft on his channel.

[@Koziolrh]

This is terrible in all the right ways guys, loving those videos!

[@BloodrealmX]

You can do anything you want to accomplish these goals, including cheating... unless that anything involves doing anything other than precisely the rules with no room for deviation from the obviously intended solution. No cheating.

[@Thumper17]

Whats Barry short for Paul? I'm glad you asked. The given name Barry is derived from Gaelic, potentially being an Anglicised form of the personal name Báire, which is a short form of the related Irish names Bairrfhionn or Barrfind ("fair-headed", "fair-haired"). and Finbar or Fionnbharr ("fair-topped", "fair-haired"). The surname Barry has numerous origins. In some cases it is an Anglicised form of the Irish Ó Beargha, meaning "descendant of Beargh". The byname Beargh means "plunderer" or "spear-like". In other cases Barry is an Anglicisation of the Irish Ó Báire, meaning "descendant of Báire". In other cases Barry is a patronymic form of the personal name Henry. In such cases, the name is partly derived from the Welsh ap, as is the case of the similar surname Parry, which is in turn derived from the Welsh ap Harry. In other cases, the surname Barry is derived from a place name, sometimes seemingly of Continental origin, and sometimes derived from a British place name, such as Barry, Angus in Scotland. The surname Barry, when borne in Ireland, is chiefly derived from the name borne by the Anglo-Norman de Barry family. In Irish, this family's name is rendered de Barra.

[@rwaitwhat]

Good god. You couldn't just accept that he's got short legs??

[@biggsywolves3279]

I think Billy the magic dictionary that lives up Stuart's arse is due his own spin-off cartoon.

[@mark8200]

Just amazing editing, well done guy.

[@caxzrockz]

Best video on barshens

[@spas9001]

Yay! Paul has finally come up with a game that actually works!

[@gregmcgregginton574]

These are so great, guys. Keep it up, please

[@dantefloressq]

*MAGIC EDIT* . . ... no

[@UnitSe7en]

What are you talking about it was seamless

[@SunnyGlade]

You guys should all go head to head in a taskmaster type competition and make it into a youtube series!

[@cheekbonestrenchcoat]

I saw a Chuckle Brother in my local area. I saw 2 actually (there is also a 3rd btw) They were in panto here a couple of years ago

[@fennecfoxfanatic]

oh sweet a legend of zelda barshens episode!

[@jackshepherdson]

Congradulations on 100k subscribers. You promised on the podcast if you hit 100k you’d parody Uptown girl by Billy Joel. Should we expect that next month?

[@bobithith]

Very good, would like to see more of this.

[@travispickle6993]

Paul's beard will never be as good as Eli's.

[@xabalba555]

0:16 the subtitles changed this to "only on the borgias channel "😂

[@gunfuego]

I like this one.... Good work Paul 👍

[@dragonmac1234]

When I saw Paul I thought he looked a bit like Dave Gorman with the beard. Was Stuart wearing a Crash Smash badge. I worked on that magazine back in the day and didn't see one, where did Mr Ashen find his.

[@TheStolenToast]

That was really good. Loved that

[@83rockboyyo]

I honestly genuinely thought you had the Chuckle brothers on..... not disappointed no

[@TheHutchy01]

I'll be honest, for half a second I thought Stuart was going to take his trousers off

[@defs8073]

You're being honest?

[@theonlyenicfanever5346]

Heck yes

[@meug5288]

Christian server pls no swear

[@lordmellis7135]

These need to be longer 😂😂❤

[@MAMODMAN95]

Are gannon and Eli a couple in real life ?

[@abokinc]

yes

[@MAMODMAN95]

Actually?

[@dmd8552]

No... :(

[@maxobyrne1474]

Yeah, they genuinely are, don't believe Demint's fake news

[@chrisfroehler5315]

They definitely have a Siegfried and Roy-like closeness that makes you wonder.. What sort of animals do you think they would live with, and ultimately be permanently disfigured by?

[@polishenglish8356]

I loved the moment when the whole studio went on fire! :D

[@HuntersMoon78]

Paul does look like Dave Gorman

[@ThEjOkErIsWiLd00]

Now that's some high quality #banter right there.

[@hitmanwolf]

i love how British Ashens is: emotionless and carefree of your bullsh*t.

[@maxobyrne1474]

Wits and guile?? That's what Barshens is famous for!

[@Seth-hc2bj]

Good to see Carl in another vid!

[@oily4545]

Another modern classic. Can I put in a vote for more videos that get everyone involved?

[@LeifUnni2]

More of this!

[@DylRicho]

Rest in peace, Barry Chuckle. :(

[@lincolnnoronha4128]

Gannon's Gauntlet is a winner show! Also, who is the old guy with a cane?!?!

[@SizzaOnago]

Rest in peace Barry Chuckle

Paul "oh baby stick it in" Gannon

[@tomkenning5482]

Not many people are gonna be seeing chuckle brothers in their local area now are they

[@DashCamSheffield]

#BlameGannon even the title supports this....

[@harrythealmond5668]

chucklebrothers are from same town as me, local heroes round rotherham

[@Keymagination]

Sadly it was nothing compare to Paul's love for Ghostbusters episode. Please more of this.

[@Foxtrot369]

How dare ye besmirch the good name LEGO with that 'Block Tech' foulery. A curse be upon ye that forevermore all proper LEGO purchased shall be transmogrified into a cheap imposter. ;-)

[@LJW999]

You should do something to that show on Dave, Taskmaster... it is suited to the entire cast and crew

[@peterballard6107]

More of that please

[@prowokator]

when I was in the school there was this campain; Cannons gauntlet, not even once.

[@moosegoose3159]

I thought Terminator 2 was the first $100 million budget film.

[@Aquelll]

Wow, Paul had a game that made sense!

[@Robinski000]

I literally do see one of the Chuckle Brothers in my local M&S

[@harrybrown7447]

You need to do a video with the chuckle brothers

[@Otherspersons]

W-was that kablam music at the end?

[@noobiusmaximus6314]

My mum is a chuckle brother.

[@stumbling]

Which one?
