Dice Jackanory | Barshens

[@iamdb1990]

"join us again next week for a format that doesn't work" well, I've been here since day one, so might as well keep watching, love it

[@vexphoenix]

Here here, I love Paul's chaotic nonsense formats lol

[@OnlyEpicEmber]

It's been fun to see how it evolved from two men meeting at a KZbin convention with only their relative age in common, leaving them apart from the young crowd, thus forming a bond that led to them collaborating with their KZbin channels as both were relevant to food in very different ways that somehow complemented each other. This led to a series, which led to a channel, which led to me making this pointless comment at 3AM. Hooray.

[@MonkeyBscts]

CrAzYgIrL yep, and it leads to us looking forward to the new episode every Friday but don't ask me to explain why because this is madness. Why would anyone go out of their way to watch this insanity every week that we go out of our way to watch every week.

[@maxscardanelli6185]

Same here man.

[@UnrelatedArchives]

As this video ended, a flower grew

[@Corkoth55]

its snowing on mt fuji

[@samholdsworth420]

I put a flower in my butt once

[@bearabraxasreed3623]

An analysis of Eli's story: The woman is alone and wants a child. The bananas are phallic but useless, reminding her that she has no way of having a child. The man arrives and she thinks that he is a child, desperate as she is to be a mother. She offers him all she has (her bananas) and he cries, maybe out of gratitude or pity, and a flower grew. That flower represents the child that was born of their exchange. The end.

[@vissenekku]

I believe the flower in that moment is signifying fertility of this man. But it grows from his tears, showing that his fertility does not bring happiness. This implies that they would have a child. But obviously enough, this is something she has been longing for. She lives in a lighthouse full of bananas, which is pretty on the nose. But considering the audience, it needs to be a bit on the nose.

[@lionguardant5468]

The fog represents her misery and her glasses represent IVF treatment

[@ZX3000GT1]

I won't be surprised if there's a Hentai doujin out there with this exact story.

[@firons2]

Barshens, with avant-garde, experimental thumbnails!

[@lividsphincter4098]

Linton's getting fed up with the bullshit.

[@squeamish11]

The reason I subscribed to Barshens is for the video formats that don't work

[@swanningabout]

Pissflaps

[@Frostbitex5]

Barry’s was the darkest, Stuart’s was the most well thought out, Eli’s was the dirtiest, and Ryan’s was the laziest. Sounds about right

[@aborted4196]

Your mother!!!

[@samholdsworth420]

I disagree

[@TylerAtlasRay]

"We all know where this is going, but let's see it through." Literally my life.

[@quintonquill]

I find it so enlightening that 5 blokes, who just hang out and put out video's ;can produce such laughter inducing skit's out of just being them self's... refreshing.

[@aborted4196]

Themselves**

[@Porkey_Minch]

Stuart's story would have been a 9 if Paul had let him know how much time he had left. #StuartWasRobbed

[@steve64464]

Barry's story , "the weight of the car has slit the whales head off and it dies" i almost died laughing many times at this

[@MyOtheHedgeFox]

Eli, why did you have to justify your story. You almost killed an innocent soul through laughter.

[@koenvandamme6901]

Paul is hosting? I bet this format will work flawlessly!

[@Angrykitty19]

Ashens' story was the best. It had the most emotion.

[@thomasjenkins7506]

kinda makes you realize why his gamechild movie is one of the best youtuber movies. it's not great, but it's an actual film with a story and likable characters.

[@Angrykitty19]

@@thomasjenkins7506 I agree Mr Grass Mask

[@joncody8344]

No one noticed billy started out as jimmy. :)

[@drunkenhobo8020]

It should really be Bimmy.

[@nslouka90]

Perhaps this is a back story to Billy, Stuart's bread knife and Miggy is some sort of courier that delivers Billy bread and food to consume.

[@umbaupause]

@@drunkenhobo8020 Bimmy...?! Wha- Bimmy isn't even a real name!!!

[@TheSwiftFalcon]

@@umbaupause Sure it is. It's like in "Bimmy and Jimmy Lee".

[@user-yo2lt8ch7v]

I did

[@ZeeNastee]

Later Miggy the cat found the family that killed the whale, they had already cut it up into pieces so she could carry it, but in order to steal it she had to kill the entire Johnson family which was karma for all they had killed and this is a run-on sentence.

[@ohnoitschris]

Stuart had Double Dragon on the mind, renaming Jimmy to Billy midway through his story

[@mistermatix8241]

What about Bimmy?

[@MsCholmondley-Warner]

Bimmy to Jimmy!

[@swanningabout]

Bummy?

[@Drawyah]

1:19 - That background song I can only associate to a cartoon about a murderous toy bear! 😭😭

[@Lewrid]

Personally, I would have made it so only the storyteller saw the dice, and the rest had to guess what it was, in what order.

[@ObiMace]

"Every week a different format that doesn't work" is a good format for this channel, that definitely works.

[@maxscardanelli6185]

Eli’s rant at the end had me in stitches. Please do this again. This was brilliant! I wasn’t expecting Barry to get so dark either.

[@BravoGorilla]

#Eliwasrobbed

[@oo-ef3fv]

Stuart’s one genuinely made me cry

[@Iinneus]

Ryan's Eli impression is shockingly good.

[@Iinneus]

And it's an accidental impression, too!

[@GmodPlusWoW]

Looking back, I was half-expecting Jimmy to get electrocuted. Either that, or finally confront the Pulsating Mass. Still odd that Jimmy turned into Billy half-way through. Maybe he empathized with another boy and learned how to shapeshift into Billy.

[@TheGlitched64Reads2]

Oh man I loved these sections on Cheapshow. Now we just need Barshens, "Don't get mad"! Paul, Eli, i'm counting on you guys!

[@superspacehero]

Check out somewhere around the end of Episode 100 of Cheapshow and you'll somewhat get that in the meantime

[@polishenglish8356]

*"Ahhhh" said Henerietta* :D :D

[@KumaHuete]

ITS PHALLIC!

[@Nytephyre]

I very much enjoyed the boys’ telling their childhood stories. A tear fell, but only because you threw trash at his feet.

[@Drawyah]

Ashens: What a bunch of c... Linton: *queues cheery intro*

[@polishenglish8356]

You guys are so creative and witty, I adore that in you!

[@notanimposter]

I wanna see Miggy 2: Winter Solider

[@mistermatix8241]

When Barry got the cat dice, I thought the sequel was going to happen right then!

[@mulhollandoverdrive]

Surely you should have called it Barshenory? I know Gannon isn't the champion of succinct sentences but that's staring you in the face, that is.

[@DiggingForFacts]

"I would like to meet the kids, so we can have a free willy element there." - Eli J. Silverman, 2018

[@rcik2004]

Eli was robbed, the man just unlocked story telling.

[@omnipresentsnowflake4698]

Please we may take a moment to appreciate the editor's fade to black and gunshot at the end, you edgy art student you

[@secondswell]

Well you ruined that

[@omnipresentsnowflake4698]

I wouldn't say ruin, more just acknowledged it, cause I don't think many people would've actually seen it

[@firons2]

Eli is a true playwright

[@shuriKen469]

next on My Virgin Kitchen...How to cook up a roadkill buffet on a bright and sunny day!!

[@mistermatix8241]

Then on MVK:A banana burger, made with copious quantities of bananas/phallic symbols, and an odd drink made from old man's tears/symbolic semen seed...

[@happydeathman]

No...I mean, I kinda realized how it was going to go, but Barry's was really the worst. I think he's a lovely guy, but...come on.

[@Laura_Darkspear]

RIP cat, bird, & whale

[@fishwater]

Eli's dog impression was the best thing ever

[@JamesSmith-pp5vp]

The way these happy stories end horribly gives me flashbacks to watching Watership Down

[@IanC14]

Bright eyes, burning with fire…

[@DanVR001]

#barryneedsallthehelphecanget

[@jackbellaby6992]

Eli is the greatest human being alive

[@cheapshow]

Also. It's www.thecheapshow.co.uk Sigh....

[@plapbandit]

Its cool, Google got your back. Subbed

[@ChrisHalliwell171]

Loved the cut to black and gun shot ending

[@MrIcecolddd]

This reminds me of “There once was a pair of trousers named erm... Dave! Who lived in a forest”

[@Shizushin786]

Linton I see your art student ending and I love you for it

[@fuzer909]

Eli and Paul are the new Bert and Ernie.

[@jakublulek3261]

Rik and Ade.

[@michelleross9782]

Only Eli would come out of this... Stuart has spent too much time with Eli to follow his phallic metaphors

[@Streetw1s3r]

Barry's story is the post-credits scene of Ashens'. RIP Miggy the cat.

[@samholdsworth420]

That thumbnail is mr beast level

[@spas9001]

I see Linton went to the same film school as Ryan.

[@harpoonlobotomy]

0:48 It's a shart, surely. Gotta keep on brand.

[@jubuttib]

Couldn't even get the cocking URL for the Cheap Show right Linton, they'd be right to not pay you! Just kidding, your editing is what really makes the show, keep it up, especially when it depresses you to hell and back!

[@GreyHulk2156]

Please do more story cubes. This was great fun. :)

[@cheekbonestrenchcoat]

Ryan just staring down the camera as Eli tries to explain his story speaks to me

[@bibbly1234]

#EliWasRobbed

[@theonlyenicfanever5346]

Heck yeah, a new Barshens

[@Fershizzal]

Eli gets a one, as in that was one great story. Paul is wrong #Eliwasrobbed

[@deathsyth8888]

Who needs Shakespeare when you have the Barshens crew?

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

Bardshens.

[@DylRicho]

I love Barry's laugh! 🤣

[@D3usExMachina]

We need them to be drunk, or getting increasingly drunk through the time of one video

[@jimpansey4455]

what a bunch of Barshens indeed

[@SpoodleProductions]

Can we just have a segment where Eli improvises stories?

[@ridcullyshat8522]

This is going to give me some very troubling nightmares

[@Aehzur]

'A excellent story'

[@brianm6337]

Gee- what happened to the third Johnson kid- Howard? Oh yeah. He stayed home to work on his resort idea. ;)

[@bendubu]

#EliWasRobbed 😆😂🤣

[@brookekeen7641]

Once again, I’m here just before work👏🏼

[@mr_hareharu]

I glad that Barry didn't get robbed.

[@drunkrdm]

should start the next one with puals ending to " miggy the cat".

[@liz8597]

Now we know what happened to Miggy, she was hit by Mr and Mrs Johnson on the way to get the whale. At least she had her dying wish to get the whale and she did

[@alayayingling7007]

Been watching barshens for over a year and just now figured out Eli's patch

[@TimperialBroadcastingAgency]

As a Battletech player, I find this process of rolling multiple dice one at a time irrationally frustrating. XD

[@TimperialBroadcastingAgency]

BARRY MY MAN THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE.

[@alanaktion]

The website name for the podcast is wrong, it needs a "the" at the start.

[@RoobehTunes]

So if Eli is the old man, then his reaction to the burger shows his fear of commitment?

[@tomchaney6085]

To be fair, crackanory was on Dave. It wasn't quite channel 5 levels of miserable. Also weirdly despite originally being in a visual medium, it's all available for free on Audible

[@cheekbonestrenchcoat]

Called.... BERNARD.

[@LukeE1103]

These guys need to play cards against humanity 😂

[@coyoteartist]

The hot air balloon to the sun sounds familiar as an actual story element. I think it was in an Arthur or something and the things I put up with hearing for these people.

[@clonetek]

@14:26 the url doesn't work. it should be thecheapshow.co.uk

[@PaulGannonLives]

its been fixed now - in that typing in www.cheapshow.co.uk will now send you onto www.thecheapshow.co.uk - i blame Linton!!!!

[@chickentoast2655]

i only just realised that part way through Stuart’s story, the boy’s name changed from Jimmy to Billy

[@VikingCuda]

i actually liked this format.. good show!

[@RileytheDirewolf]

im fucked up on pain meds and this video felt like a calamity

[@AsymptoteInverse]

Why in the world did you let Paul, of all the crew, run this thing? Paul doesn't believe in rules or order.

[@joansmith69]

A BUNCH OF WHAT? I MUST KNOW!

[@Phished123]

Eli is an artist

[@markjempson6608]

it was Dave not channel 5 wasnt it?

[@antster1983]

It was Dave. [shakes fist] *GANNON!!*

[@gavinrobinson9136]

More Bars VS Hens please!

[@masdawg]

Only started watching this, but there better be a return of Vegemite Charlie!

[@michaelwilliams9566]

I Like Barshens.

[@mattymerr701]

How come I can't join you for the same format that _does_ work?

[@Forcefield23]

Jimmy was so ill that his name changed to Billy after meeting Miggy

[@Bal6]

Funniest channel on KZbin!

[@davephilpotphilpot9867]

elis story was the best end of

[@vexphoenix]

Really thought Eli's story would've ended with banana insertion....

[@danforbes3573]

For the first time Barry has actuslly won something outright! #BarryTheChampion

[@dmd8552]

Paul gave him pity points... Because Barry's brain doesnt work quite right and he needs to win something sometimes

[@Qwertyspack99]

To be fair, Barry asked how long he had. Stuart...
