Fairies, Goblins, and Pirates: A Fantastic Quiz Show

[@fugithegreat]

I love Alexis's smile!

[@tlabd9582]

It's so adorable

[@Danielsingerymusic]

fugithegreat There’s my comment gone

[@mrsnufflegums]

Hello yes we americans definitly say "doing a sneaky"

[@ogorangeduck]

And you'd be doing a sneaky by not saying so

[@GuyofRome]

Totally doin a sneaky right now

[@StopChangingUsernamesYouTube]

Yes, as authentic Americanian, I confirm that people do the sneakies, big sneakies, all the time.

[@daniellbondad6670]

+William Shreckengost What kind of sneaky,specifically? Home invasions?

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

I’m an American, and have never heard of this expression. 🤔

[@josephjenkins9754]

The two patreon patrons are most definitely protagonists of 1920’s novels

[@MitchellPozar]

I like Alexis. She should do some videos.

[@fuckY0couch420]

replace olivia with her

[@Fudgedrums]

Fkn Olivia drops her tone at the end of every sentence and it PISSES ME OFFFFFF

[@zebedeesummers4413]

Yeah, It would be great for Alexis to get more camera time at Scishow. (also I think Oliva is a great host and really shows her passion well.)

[@racheltmoeckel]

She does have her own channel, though she hasn’t posted in a while. I have enjoyed her videos, and perhaps she would make more if more people subscribed to her. :) Just search her name: Alexis Stempien!

[@chevychase3103]

@@fuckY0couch420 instead of replace just add a space they're all being paid anyway!

[@BookwormGuri]

Wow! I used to go to school with Alexis. Even if you didn't win I'm glad you're doing something that you love!

[@ElPsyKongroo]

[@savannah4439]

I’d totally buy a “it’s never spontaneous combustion” shirt

[@saumyashah7978]

Does anybody else think Michael is the best host?

[@thatlaxbro]

He's so good! I love the episode with Mike Falzone where he just organically bounces off of Mike's jokes

[@chefsweaty6744]

I love each host for a different reasons, but Michael is my fave too I cant lie lol

[@Okuni_]

Blake's nice too

[@jooku7]

Michael Stevens

[@elizabethmcglothlin5406]

I'm a Brit fan, and the funniest quiz I've seen was Michael and Brit.

[@darkinertia2]

Instantly, i love alexis

[@sandhiyaann2533]

Everyone here keeps saying Alexis is pretty.what about Micheal . Goth geek nerd supreme .

[@LadyAneh]

Sandhiya Ann He’s adorable.

[@sandhiyaann2533]

Side note Alexis is pretty . She's the cute kinda pretty. And Hank is that awkward adorable nerdy kinda pretty

[@diamondsmasher]

Sounds like Michael did a sneaky on your heart

[@wewemcrhyne]

Somehow the smarter they are, the sexier they seem

[@DesolatorMagic]

Sci Show is in cahoots with the goblins trying to lead people astray lol.

[@NJ-wb1cz]

Ashtray

[@quantumintellect7261]

Bet negative scishow bucks and pick the least probably answer. In theory it should work approximately 75% of the time XD

[@Danielsingerymusic]

Mythic IQ GENIUS

[@Oyamada13]

You should also point out that betting all your negative and you get the answer wrong only get you to 0. lol

[@coryman125]

It's kinda neat how you bring in people who are usually behind the scenes for these quiz shows, and give them a chance to be in front of the camera for a fun little game :P especially when they seem this excited about being here, haha

[@gildedbear5355]

Does that mean that you can bet negative points...? Sweet Scishow strats.

[@0mn1vore]

Sure! You could bet -500 points, and get the wrong answer, thereby reversing it to +500 points. Makes about as much sense as anything else in this weird and wonderful game-show.

[@kenwinston2245]

Math ROCKS !

[@geras2058]

I love how Alexis was happy when Hank got the answer right the first time

[@blueriverbane69]

y’all telling me the ocean smells like algae farts?

[@FishGeekery]

Can confirm. WAY better than low tide, though. ;)

[@kenwinston2245]

Teen Spirit 😃

[@aNytmare]

I loved that programming pirate joke!! Imma use that !

[@deejaydubla]

That will-o'-the-wisp question was pretty fascinating; kudos to the question writer this episode.

[@nicosankar4981]

Alexis should host the show sometimes!

[@0mn1vore]

I love these quiz show / talk show episodes, and you seem to as well. Hope you can do them more often.

[@Dankey_King]

I'm not fat, I'm just fighting motion sickness! :p

[@rustumlaattoe]

Michael -"In what game can you bet more points than you have?" Hank "Um... Capitalism!" Smartest thing i think I've heard on this channel and I've been watching for years.

[@IceMetalPunk]

I think Hank's BLATANT cheating should mean both Sebastian and Horace win :D

[@drakan4769]

but then who'd get the highly coveted "I lost sci show quiz show" pin?

[@Ulquiorra_..]

He only bet 1 more point then he had though

[@13vatra]

@@Ulquiorra_.. exactly, blatant cheating.

[@berdonburns]

Alexis is insanely pretty!

[@kingbumi1656]

So is Michael. But muscle Hank is the prettiest.

[@LadyAneh]

Michael is also very handsome.

[@Cirdon91]

I like Alexis; she's smart (otherwise she wouldn't work for SciShow), seems funny, and her laugh is almost as infectious as her beautiful smile. We need more Alexis videos! Give her the promotion, Hank!

[@Evadooker]

alright well i guess im in love with alexis now thanks

[@MikeFilemaker]

Hello, I'm Michael Aranda's tie, and I'm here to point out: his belt buckle

[@musclehank6067]

Not fantastic without me

[@bostash8442]

Weeb...

[@hobo_billypsychedelic5469]

Shut up Muscle Hank

[@daverapp]

WHY ARE YOU A THING

[@thecosmicowl9923]

He's serving two life sentences for a particularly heinous sneaky.

[@fireredemblem4943]

I mean, in the first round of Jeopardy and you get a Daily Double, if you have less than $1000, you can wager up to $1000. I think in the Double Jeopardy round that cap increases to $2000. (It's been a little while since I've watched Jeopardy) So there's your precedent-though I'm not sure if Hank's situation would be very similar or not. Anyway, great show guys! I felt like I learned a lot from watching it : )

[@alexiswelsh5821]

Hank wrote a novel? Wow. Does this mean John will do something scientific or musical?

[@katiegriffitts4311]

Most definitely not musical. Unless he is very, very drunk.

[@danielrhouck]

The real question, though, is whether loans will be prohibited going forwards. I'm guessing yes, at least for the next game.

[@grumple_gloop]

These videos brighten up my life

[@elizabethshaw734]

I was born and raised in Maine and spent a long time living around the world. The scent of the sea always draws me home and at the moment I live 20 feet from Casco Bay. :-)

[@roboter5123]

Thanks scishow. Now there is ghost and goblin videos in my feed.

[@pct87]

Whoever wrote that script, I enjoyed the pirate joke.

[@CintreuseGrande]

I love these episodes, please never stop making them! ❤️

[@chimeforest]

I'm 95% sure in a previous episode Michael has stopped Hank from betting more points then he had.. I just can't remember which one, lol

[@fionafiona1146]

Betting all negative points could be leaving one less of a looser 😂

[@Quasihamster]

Don't know about goblins and fairies, but Alexis is clearly an elf

[@gildedbear5355]

That (lack of) ad DID make me feel lighter than air!

[@aSongScout]

Alexis looks like JaidenAnimations in the thumbnail

[@brianstark3932]

Alexis's smile is so contagious that it might as well be the only thing i'm glad i'm infected with!

[@Cadwaladr]

I learned all about helium voice from Cody's Lab.

[@Edgelordess]

Video: Its never sponatnious combustion. Me: Its never lupus Video: Whats the House MD refrence? Me: I beat you to it!

[@Kobolds_in_a_trenchcoat]

I never watched house but my mom actually did get a lupus diagnosis a few years ago (6-8 or so I think...). She's fine-ish (my family is a constant health disaster but thankfully nothing life threatening or anything) now but she definitely had the diagnosis at one point.

[@Edgelordess]

Its just an inside joke from the show. A lot of diseases can mirror symptoms of lupus. Its such a good show. So many feels.

[@chevychase3103]

It's never lupus! LOL

[@jeffreym68]

Love Alexis' work. Also, liked when she colored her ends.

[@TheAWesomePerformer]

‘I feel like young people are always doing the loop-de-loops’ - where’s your walking stick hank?

[@1995DylanJ]

Nice going Alexis! And don't worry, usually Hank only answers 1 or 2 questions correctly as well

[@virglibrsaglove]

This was so much fun!!! You guys should do a lot more of these! 🤣🤣🤣

[@CapsPage]

I like the lady who donned the labcoat for this one! (Sorry I am bad at names.) She spoke in a way that made it easy for me to stay engaged. Great work, everyone!

[@MrBomasBalloons]

On Jeopardy, contestants can bet more than they have on Double Jeopardy questions (answers?) if they have fewer than $1000. So, even if they are in the negatives, they can still bet $1000 on a Double Jeopardy.

[@dianagibbs3550]

Is it me or does Stefan get more and more excited with every episode of SciShow Quiz he announces prizes for?

[@Barnaclebeard]

Why would she bet $200? That makes no sense.

[@scorpio6587]

14:36 He gives the rule that Hank broke.

[@Skiddols]

yup

[@amazedsatsuma]

they need to make "I cheat on sci show quiz show" pin just for HankXD

[@Kobolds_in_a_trenchcoat]

I Did a sneaky on sci show quiz show!

[@scorpio6587]

I get he was just going for a negative score. But yeah the host did say the rule. Just saying.

[@dynamicworlds1]

True, but Hank's "Capitalism" answer was also correct and arguably worth a point.

[@arielle4313]

“If you’ve ever thought that the ocean smelled like cabbage, stinky cheese, or your own farts... congrats. “ 😂

[@donwald3436]

How are all of your writers so cute???

[@Gutock]

May I propose a cooperative version of this game? Both contestants are on a team, get one guess, just do simple more right or wrong. I think the discussion is more interesting than the 2nd pick. Also, still love this game :)

[@wolfferoni]

Alexis! I remember seeing that tweet. I never would've imagined she'd be on scishow though.

[@culwin]

Good to see Boxxy on SciShow!!

[@Pyr0philia]

so glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

[@shrapnel4213]

lol it is no surprise cancerchums watch scishow too

[@helenaren]

Stempien is a cool last name

[@thugasaurusrex6004]

Why was the last one so much easier than the rest of them lol

[@PhilBoswell]

THey seem to do that to provoke the contestants into betting insane amounts of SciShow Bucks ;-)

[@thugasaurusrex6004]

Phil Boswell but on other ones, they're actually hard last question lol. This one was a 3rd grade science question

[@MikeeVee]

Cool to see that you guys have someone from my state (MI) that works on your show. Also, I'd totally take home a loaf of bread left on my car as a gift by the generous whomever or whatever left it there, maybe some mysterious god of some sort, lol.

[@RevlisGT]

In the past, sometimes if you answered wrong you would lose scishow bucks or points or w/e. With those rules it was possible to go negative.

[@Kobolds_in_a_trenchcoat]

are there enough questions to go negative though?

[@Caraxian]

In the past? Every wrong answer is still -100 There is not enough questions to get negative with that though

[@SciShow]

Now, thanks to a Patreon Patron's idea, all right answers are +200, and wrong answers are -100. Before they were rated the same, or Michael would just make it up as he went. :)

[@Lord_Magikarp]

One thing. The Thumbnail is priceless

[@elizabethshaw734]

I live in Portland Maine and grew up with Tides twice a day. Low tide happens twice a day and it could be smelled anywhere you are!

[@Aboz]

Alexis has a personality almost as sparkly as Hank's. You should let her try presenting on an episode.

[@elkudos6262]

I thought Pirate Science was all about unlicensed repositories mercilessly hunted by Elsevier and Springer...

[@plontulublalulu]

Whenever alexis smiles i feel funny on the inside

[@deniseglines8239]

Stefan made me laugh so much this time!

[@drakan4769]

0:55 this is how stereotypes are born, now excuse me while I put on my beret to go pour myself a glass of wine to go with my baguette. Thinking if I can get another one in there... I surrender

[@coryman125]

What are you talking aboot, eh? Here in Canada we don't have stereotypes. We're all too busy playing hockey to talk aboot those, eh!

[@martindrengenxbox360]

The helium thing was something I actually knew, also Xenon makes your voice deep as it is heavier than air, it's also a noble gas so it too is non reactive.

[@franciscodetonne4797]

They referenced House! My fav US TV show!

[@el0tta]

I love how excitable Stefan is! I wish he was my friend! xx

[@Azzarinne]

10:46 This makes the fact that I actually have more trouble coming back to land than going out on the water less cool...

[@Azzarinne]

Aww, Hank looked so surprised and happy by that AART plug at the end! After all these months, though, it sounds weird not to hear "pre-order" in the spiel...

[@adamrasmussen3521]

I have crossed the North Sea multiple times doing as much as 7 days on rough seas without being affected, but once last summer a friend and I crossed Kattegatt between Sweden and Denmark and we both felt seasickness start affecting us. Our theory is that it was the specific wave pattern that did it that time.

[@woodfur00]

Shoutout to Stefan he's wonderful

[@snababo3914]

"You can bet any or all of your points" Hank... For shame

[@FlyKiwi]

As a Kiwi who's lived next to the ocean her entire life, I feel confident saying our sea water never smells like cabbage or cheese. Maybe that's a northern hemisphere thing?

[@Volros64]

can't like this more than once!

[@plontulublalulu]

Alexis makes my heart feel funny

[@sarahleonard7309]

I was so proud of myself for knowing the devil's garden answer off the top of my head. I never know any of the quiz show answers.

[@CerolianRepublic]

I am absolutely going to refer to crime as "Doing a sneaky" from now on.

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

Surprised fairy rings didn't show up on the quiz. Great stuff regardless

[@elizabethshaw734]

I grew up in New England with a Scottish father and I always knew about Will-O- the - Wisp and saw them. 🔥

[@jm-ib7tb]

Wow, Alexis is pretty.

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

Yes, I knew the last one solely because I also know that Sulfur Hexafluoride is a very dense gas, and it causes your voice to deepen instead of get higher. So obviously, it's based on the density of the gas, not any biological aspects.

[@timemaster13]

I just finished watching the first episode of Goblin Slayer and then this Sci-show episode come out. Nice.
