Ben: Sorry, Grand Theft Auto or Grand Theft Auto V? Cristine: It doesn’t specify The screenshot: Am I a joke to you?

[@stanorange]

I had to go back and check, because I was sure I had seen the V and I was very confused. Do Canadians not learn Roman numerals at school? I don't know if it is a European thing...

I love Cris. The screenshot, literally, said Grand Theft Auto V, but I'm sure she expected a number instead of roman numeral. 🥰

[@zivens.2407]

I don't think I've ever identified with Ben more than this episode with all his random tangent knowledge, and I was laughing so hard because Cristine couldn't care less 😅

I thought Ben was going to talk about the origin for Kirby's name, I believe he was named after a lawyer that helped Nintendo win a case about Donkey Kong being a copy of King Kong. With Ben being a DK player I thought he'd knew about that whole thing in more detail

[@amysin]

Yes! John Kirby!

Can you imagine all the replies from cristine and how she would show up how this or that would not make sense hahaha

[@doc2008]

Wait, wait...the Beyoncé one actually was a trick question. Beyoncé was originally and famously a member of Girls Tyme. This was the first group that she was in starting in 1990 and the one that lost on Star Search and is referenced on the song ***Flawless. The group was disbanded and reformed with other members and a new name, Destiny’s Child.

[@dominique5692]

Destiny's Child members: Beyonce, Kelly, Michelle, and past members Farrah, Latoya, Latavia. Also, while Beyonce did blow up after going solo (obvi), it was actually Kelly who had the first #1 single after embarking on a solo career: Dilemma with Nelly

[@sarahmoon89]

Thank you, the back story Cristine had gave me heart palpitations. 🥲😅

[@adri9974]

My three legged cat's name is Farrah, she was named that and I kept it cause I thought it was unique like her 💙

[@adamemac]

_Alternate video title idea:_ An hour of Ben shading pop culture figures while Cristine tries to quickly move onto the next question before he says something controversial! * NOT CLICKBAIT!! * Never mind, that's too long. Your title is better.. but I think mine is just as accurate. 😅

[@erikperhs_]

11:40 Tom Brady is known as "Gisele Bündchen's husband" by most here in Brazil and I think that's beautiful.

[@fatemahzehra8892]

Ben going about on tangents is just so much more fun than just the questions while Cristine is just like how is that related to the question and no bonus points 🥲💀

i love how ben gives more trivia facts after answering a question & now i know kirbys origin story

[@themakeupedit]

Ben is so knowledgeable about random stuff THIS WAS SO FUN

"it doesn't specify," as Cristine stares at text that says "Grand Theft Auto V." 🤣

The 3rd Mc in Grey's Anatomy was McVet (a play on Macbeth) who was played by Chris O'donnell. He was the veterinarian who cared for Meredith's dog.

[@irinam31]

Ermm iirc he cared for more than her dog but we don't get to call her a whore. 😬

I think the religious actress from the '90s Beyn is referring to is Candace Cameron Bure, not Melissa Joan Hart.

[@aishahayat9046]

the thing was, boots came out and said that zoella's team actually decided how much it should be sold for to guide their pricing, so zoella did have some input it seems

[@VanessaBacca]

I need to watch a quiz where Dixie D'Amalio is the answer for all the questions 🤣🤣🤣

[@rayeofsunshine83]

Melissa Joan Hart does Hallmark movies now. Fun fact: the movie A Very Nutty Christmas (starring Hart) was filmed in Mystic, CT, and the bar scene was filmed in the restaurant my fiancé worked in at the time. ☺️

[@xMidnightxRunnerx]

I think she also does Pureflix movies too, now? Wasn't she one of the God's Not Dead movies? That's a pretty hard pivot from Sabrina 😅

[@pramwilson]

My gut was that he was thinking of Candace Cameron. But maybe not. :)

[@thekrazysheep]

She had a TV show for awhile with Joey Lawrence too. She may be Christian but I think he was thinking of Candace Cameron. Lol

[@mimikki12]

Regarding the OC question: Marissa didn’t shoot Ryan, she shot his brother Trey to save Ryan.

[@laurac86]

Yeah I was so confused when she said that lol

[@MsEverAfterings]

I like how Ben would digress into some pop culture trivia 😆 That is so me with my SO when I talk about pop culture stuff! He appreciates the knowledge he has now but he doesn’t know what to do with it haha!

[@maddyblackburn4010]

Explanation for why OJ had a televised trial and Martha didn’t! OJ was prosecuted by the state and thus it is up to the Judge on if they allow media to broadcast the trail. Martha was tried in Federal court and there is absolutely no broadcasting, and that’s why there’s no pictures. They are ONLY allowed to have a courthouse artist.

[@AshyRey91]

We definitely need more of these, Ben is hilarious

[@klowe7213]

Lumiere - I was flabbergasted when I realized the candlestick was voiced by that detective on Law & Order.

When Ben started singing I died 🤣🤣🤣 this episode was so much fun!

[@grifentei652]

I'm dying at how half of cristine's questions are just general trivia or pop culture from the early 2000's 💀

[@Mmorguemusic]

I love all Bens information 😂

[@hijinxnails633]

I’m just here to stir the memory of the other old people here. Melissa Joan Heart played Clarissa in Clarissa explains it all on Nickelodeon and that was her best role, in my opinion.

[@belindarocky961]

Agree.

[@Tattedgoddess747]

Agree!!

[@daniellevankruining143]

She also had a role is a show about her as an adult (non witchy) and she was taking care of her cousins and had a male nanny but I can't for the life of me remember the name.. she was a government official in Toledo I think in the show🥲

[@micivalantincic8227]

I was just singing Menchie gang today, trying to explain it to my parnter. This IS your best work for sure.(and I am a 35 year old woman)

[@shxttynails]

I was so annoyed by the Martha Stewart trial. I remember SO MUCH of the highlighted testimony was basically from employees who thought she was a bitch. You don't have to like Martha Stewart, let alone white collar crime, but essentially jailing a woman for being too assertive at work is straight fucked. I even had a stenciled shirt that said Free Martha and would happily go off on a tirade when asked about it 😂😂😂 But more importantly -- WHO HATES THE BABY-SITTERS CLUB? What?? Why???

[@christinemarsh4827]

I thought the books were boring as s kid but am loving the new Netflix series 😁

[@norikadolmy7274]

I think there originally 4 members of DC but two of them sued Beyonce's dad who was their manager claiming he was only promoting her career, they ended up dropping those girls and picked up Michelle and went on to do Survivor, which was probably their biggest album and the peak of their success before their breakup

[@tchaugn]

*says Grand Theft Auto V* Cristine: no it doesn't specify. lmaoooo Also those are copies sold, not $ made (GTAV made a billion in like 1 day)

Ben was so funny spitting info he wasn't asked hahahaha

[@hollydancergirl5592]

"no bonus points for whatever that was" Ben "where is the love" Cristine completely ignoring ben's rediculousness and focusing on her love of Menchie "in the pumpkin" Little laughed out loud. Ben and Cristine are couples goals.
