Go Ugly Early is actually not gibberish. It's a Richard Hammond quote from when he was explaining what he used to do at nightclubs. Rather than wait for a supermodel who will never arrive, first girl you see who seems interested, go for it. Hence; "Go Ugly Early"

3:54 I don't know about other countries but Chinese people really actually say "my ears will get pregnant" if you direct translate, with reference to music/sound especially voices to mean that the song/voice is so nice it's like their ears will get pregnant from it lol. I see it most often in Chinese novels where girls describe the handsome men's voice as so nice and hot/sexy it's like their "ears will get pregnant".

Honestly the fact that you can more or less decipher what most of these are SUPPOSED to say proves why english is such a great language. You can misspell every word in a sentence or get your grammar completely wrong and still be able to tell more or less what's going on, meanwhile in other languages you pronounce one syllable wrong and your greeting becomes a threat to eat someone's cow.

I find it sad that the art pieces don't get the love they used to. This weeks video, there have been a few uploads where when the art pops up, it just gives credit to the artist without actually showing the art, much like in this video. I also noticed that earlier this week, with two, if not three of the uploads that they used the same piece of fan art when normally they try giving credit to different artist each video. That aside, the content in this video was wonderful and Jack was brilliant as always! Never not gunna be a fan of when he randomly breaks out in song! ♡

8:17 that's a Tboi reference, he found 18 golden chests (somehow) and had no keys to open them. He went to the shop using a card, bombed the secret and supersecret rooms, saying that there was just a shyt in the supersecret room is because it has layouts where sometimes there is a black poop in the middle of the room and nothing else. At the end he went to next floor (rip 18 chests) and the first room he clears, he gets a golden key, which could be able to open al 18 chests, but it was too late.
