Friday Nights: Strange Brew

[@OhMercyMe]

Graham's deadpan "No" is the best delivered line this show has ever produced.

[@runsandgunz]

i could not agree more!

[@ghostware6057]

i completely lost it at that line!!

[@RateOfPenetration]

He just looked so into it and happy before that too! Classic Graham.

[@jonahmatso1920]

It was perfect.

[@magicthegathering6134]

Hi jonah

[@movieman4738]

"I've never been to the blind eternities myself but they sound a lot like Disneyland."

[@Gliscorsbounty]

i am quoting that

[@alistairmarston9405]

So Alex is drawn to the Blind Eternities the way young kids are attracted to Disney. Good to know ;)

[@Gliscorsbounty]

Alex will be the first eldrazi planeswalker

[@sivancohen4940]

both have, as he described "chaotic energy". Accurate quote imo

[@GameplaysbyClonehead]

When I noticed there was five minutes after the credits, I thought for sure it was just going to be Alex reading the rest of his report the whole time. A Glengarry Glen Ross reference was way funnier. Bravo.

[@hyperam4594]

Tyler what's better phyrexian metamorph or clever impersonator

[@Quiltfish]

So that's what it was. Makes sense then.

[@pawjack]

"16 Sylvan Advocates?" Brilliant.

[@catlover0000]

That made me laugh the hardest.

[@cameronwebster6271]

made me laugh out loud soo much

[@raymondwilliams379]

I seriously loved that

[@Newbiespud]

Alison: "You see this deck?" Me: "N-No, I don't. ...Is it inside the box?"

[@sethcarver6275]

This sounds like what Alex would say if he was there

[@lordofbears9463]

and he would probably face her with his mono red deck and reck her. he would smile and GG.

[@Kokonutzlz]

She left her box there, and the deck inside of it. Free loot?

[@fenixmeaney6170]

Was that monologue from something, or did she just make it up on the spot? Because it sounds like a monologue from some movie

[@demolisherman1763]

@@Kokonutzlz sweet it probably had jms or moxes

[@michaelfels4742]

"These sleeves are more valuable then your sealed pool" ...lmao.

[@mynameiscloud611]

Going to tell that to every opponent I play at prerelease.

[@brettaugarten8445]

"Where are you buying your sleeves?" XD lol

[@The_Red_Comet]

To be fair, that'll be true of the average sealed pool

[@wildmuskrat5986]

I checked preorder prices for my rares and selling bedlam reveler and elder deep fiend is $10.

[@trenthanson4322]

These Sleeves are made of solidified turtle tears imported on their own private jet from a secret air-force base in Guatemala. If one were to touch these sleeves without wearing using a cloth they will be like the Ark of The Covenant and destroy you entirely.

[@richardirving8144]

"5 game losses for slow play. Shuffling."

[@DisregardedHappiness]

Alex! It's 2017! You are legally released from your mono black obligations! I somehow am convinced Alex's report relieving him from such obligations would hold up in court.

[@karfsma778]

"no dominant archetype in standard" hahahahaaahahahah

[@Deleaubro]

Best joke in the episode.

[@HankCarver]

^This

[@nixfureuch5859]

This blew the entire episode... I don't know if that joke was intentional or if they really belive that GW is not dominant...

[@karfsma778]

Also 24 copies of Dromoka's command in the top 8 of a gp a couple weeks ago.

[@nixfureuch5859]

supersweet joke then :D *****

[@JayBlancVideos]

That extended stinger was precisely targeted at LRR's core fan demographic. People who play semi-competitive in-store sealed magic who are also fans of dialogue heavy character-driven single-set stage-plays that were adapted to oscar award nominated movies.

[@knexwiz289]

The "16 Sylvan Advocates" joke was hilarious.

[@Sugarman96]

Allison scares me.

[@tempestandacomputer6951]

Haha she really isn't like that xD

[@Ottawa3453]

It was an incredible performance :D

[@CoryI]

There goes my boner...

[@4everis2morrow]

+cory_i I don't know "my draws were bad?!? YOUR DECK IS BAD!!!" kinda had me...

[@txzen]

We like different kinds of women....

[@The__Leo]

I liked that ending in a way I probably shouldn't have.

[@BardicLasher]

I hear you, man.

[@bazebl1022]

That was pretty hot

[@dylang2255]

The smell of overweight neckbeards...

[@onlylasers5828]

Hi

[@enemyinbob]

Funniest episode yet! "GET REKT, THAT'S MY NAME" haha i lost it lol

[@joetheroux9245]

38 years old. And I laughed my ass off at Cam's reaction to the "brass bombs." Well played, LRR.

[@jamesgray658]

Man, that last scene has to be the longest post-credits scene that LRR has ever done. It's almost 5 minutes long! Most of the time they only last a few seconds! Great video, can't wait for the next one!

[@JablesTheSpartan]

Damn, Alison's acting skills are amazing. Btw, that is the Professor's deckbox, if you watched the preprerelease!

[@KarlosMorale]

How many times did you make Allison watch Glengarry Glen Ross before she did that speech? Or did she come with it pre-prepared? Nice cameo from the Professor's deck box!

[@VictorTamietti]

thx, I was totally lost about what had happened there

[@callenpoulin1087]

I had no idea luckily I watched this with a very smart and good friend who showed me ALEC BALDWIN GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS ALWAYS BE CLOSING FULL SPEECH it made this much funnier

[@nyarlotep]

The Professor has the best deck boxes!

[@gamercow517]

The stinger is twice as funny when you compare Friday Nights Alison to the Pre-Pre-Release Alison. I have no idea how many takes that stinger took due to people cracking up but I bet it was a lot. Great stuff! Also not sure it was intentional, but Alex and Paul both wearing an Alphathon t-shirt made me look it up.

[@eoh1260]

"Uncle Istvan with Urza's Power Armor" XD

[@_somerandomguyontheinternet_]

“ - tainted with Phyrexian oil”

[@Ironcaster]

I was expecting her to ask if they'd like to join the Gatewatch protocol like Nick Fury at the end of Iron Man.

[@FFMayhem47]

7:40 Paul just casually shuffling his Imperial Seal into his 285 card standard deck lol

[@DaidojiKaikou99]

Graham’s flat “no” at the order gives me life.

[@kyler133]

"That's not even a good deck name!" "Nope." Such a simple exchange and it still got a big laugh from me.

[@viviblue7277]

Just watched that last segment again and can now appreciate it now that I’ve met that kind of person in real life. They got banned from the game store eventually.

[@Godsmasherbot]

Allison was FANTASTIC! Wow, that ending was great!

[@Sn00gans]

Oh my god, the Glen Garry Glen Ross spoof. Brilliant.

[@und3rt3h1nfluence]

At 3:11, when Graham went *nod* *nod* *smile* "No." my sides went to the heavens. Also the entire Allison bit was hilarious.

[@gamingwildlife]

WHO IS THIS LADY AT THE END AND WHY IS SHE SO ANGRY?

[@KhanGarth]

she works somewhere at Wizards but i have no idea why she was making fun of them XD

[@EionBlue]

Dunno, tried looking her up on google (her name was in the credits), and found her twitter account, figured I'd read her bio, but she has me blocked on twitter. For those wondering, no, I have never interacted with her before. :/

[@sankethbhaskar4236]

It's a movie refrence glengarry glen ross

[@KhanGarth]

Viredae you've never been to her twitter before and she blocked you? o.O

[@frnknstn64]

+Viredae wow, you normally have to be a gamegate-level asshat to get that kind of treatment.

[@haymaker424]

I think Alison is my new favorite person lol great episode guys!!

[@primedialga]

"Put that mana down"... i thought she would suggest playing legacy with manaless dredge

[@alistairmarston9405]

Allison is officially now my favorite game coach

[@edmin4gui]

introducing the prof.'a deck box as our beloved cameo

[@gazza4589]

I've had a very frustrating morning today. Whenever I jumped on KZbin and saw this I got extremely excited. Thank you for making my day 1,000 times better!

[@lastrare2276]

"who the fvk was that" best line in the video haha

[@RJ-jo5vo]

The Alex bit is the greatest thing ever.

[@OldManBolt]

I just watched this ... the best thing I have seen in long time. -- My draws were bad, your deck is bad!

[@xBeauGaming]

11:13 mighty sexy box you have there, but I'm a bit biased :D SOOOOO COOL!!!

[@chriskenney1195]

Paul: there's no dominant archetype. Wizards: how about Mardu vehicles?

[@Zekalga]

What about 4 Color Saheeli?

[@tortle1055]

Or like so many others since then (ex: simic food, Omnath)

[@Nightwishmaster]

@@tortle1055 Now everything is busted everywhere!

[@RodrigoCML7]

In hindsight, in a show filled with quality moments, Alex’s presentation is one of the most magical moments in FNM’s history.

[@seeweda]

I'm not sure why some people didn't like the ending, I've never seen Glengarry Glenn Ross and that was funny as hell. For a minute I thought she was going to go into the you can't handle the truth speech as well from A Few Good Men.

[@TundraWolfe]

Oh man. That was the best thing I've seen all day. I just about lost it at "Always Be Casting". Thank you.

[@Wulfsmasher]

I love that uncle istvan shout out, I used to put him in all my decks back in the day just cause he was awesome

[@itzpharaoh2325]

Please upload these more I've watched the whole playlist over and over again and I love every single one

[@fx4d]

Haha. "The Golgari Lands"--there's the payoff. CABS was nice, too.

[@hilarybush9646]

U guys should post these more often that's the only reason why I'm subscribed

[@ibenomage5793]

Ah yes, I remember when 5 color good stuff was a deck in Standard. Those were the good old days.

[@TheOneMiffy92]

> If you don't get the reference, ask someone over 30. Ow, my back.

[@solidkingcobra]

I absolutely love the Glengarry Glen Ross bit 8:43 fucken brilliant.

[@levijawilson]

It takes Brass Bombs. Beautiful.

[@zennim125]

isn't the five colour deck an ancient idea already? i remember people with decks with 150~200 cards, was an nightmare when they used discard

[@ArmadilloAl]

Huge decks aren't new - Huey Jensen once top-8'd a GP with a 244-card Standard deck (although his was only four colors) - but I don't think I've ever seen one in Standard without Battle of Wits, and certainly nobody comes to build one the same way Paul did.

[@tinss619]

He wasn't playing battle of wits. :(

[@RateOfPenetration]

The amount of callbacks in this episode made me quite happy. Great job, Team LoadingReadyRun!

[@wizkida981015]

Alex is finally freed from his contract!

[@novawatch2327]

This is the best episode you guys have made

[@MSUHitman]

Alison & Kathleen’s characters would fit perfectly in the competitive prerelease in STL that awards a case to first place.

[@MSUHitman]

Or top 8 split & each get a box, which is how it always went down.

[@CyriltheWolfmusic]

Alison makes a god Alec Baldwin

[@naejin]

Seems familiar, I can't put my finger on what this is a parody of.

[@Nightwishmaster]

@@naejin It's from the movie Glengarry Ross. Always Be Closing!

[@braydengoudy4040]

Hay I'm so glad it is back please keep making these videos they are extremely entertaining

[@Chatty_Protagonist]

Alison is a surprisingly good actor. Laughed so hard I had to pause twice.

[@Firestar4041]

The rant reference at the end, still just saps all the joy from the episode for me...

[@gamerbear84]

Every time I decide to give it a chance I regret it.

[@WeskersPlayhouse]

yoooo that second bit was even more hilarious than the first lmao you all killed it as per usual!

[@ManuYoCom]

-What's your name? +GET RKTED! THAT'S MY NAME!

[@pinballwitch5256]

That stinger was just amazing. I'm still giggling 10 minutes later.

[@Woodsy2575]

I was like "I haven't seen this one yet, weird"

[@BliskMyth]

I wish the episode would of ended with Graham saying "And this is why we need to remember to lock the doors around here."

[@Maezhughes]

I love it when Graham was like "who the fuck was that?"

[@Megasparklez888]

I'm so glad you capitalised on the brilliance of Alison Luhrs

[@pauljohnson3317]

As long as first place gets 16 packs, it's gonna be semi-competitive.

[@midwestchief8968]

whats your name? GET REKT THATS MY NAME!! lmao im dying im in tears

[@robertromero5930]

Graham killed me when he was shaking his head in agreement and was just like no

[@latchbox5884]

Friday nights are always good but this one was just sooooo well written and acted from beginning to end. I think this is now one of my favourites now

[@chemblah4]

after looking up and watching that movie reference. Well done LRR, very well done.

[@codycantfocus]

I love all the throwbacks to the old Friday Nights.

[@rocketbossgiovanni2325]

I lost it when she screamed "GET RECKT, THATS MY NAME!"

[@RvEijndhoven]

Reading back through these comments two years later, I'm really sad that not more people have referred to the stinger as Golgari Glen Ross.

[@TMFW]

The fact he mentioned Uncle Istvan was enough for me to be happy. My childhood ❤️

[@sanguiniusse434]

Paul: What's the problem with standard? Me: That it exists.

[@njnjhjh8918]

For a while I was thinking, "Gosh, she sure has nice acting chops for a community manager" then I remembered that Alison is also an actress.

[@Aaronichi]

Okay. I laughed my ass off at "Mana's for casters!"

[@mm3andersen1]

Whoever that lady was at the end, best actor to ever grace Friday Nights

[@JojoBarrientos]

and this is why my EDH decks have never been the same again... ABC CABS. Thank you Alison.

[@jackcharron2813]

The writing for this show is mox gold.

[@thunderstruck560]

The coffee for closers speech was a nice way to end this. Great video

[@DisregardedHappiness]

Also the stinger with Allison is still the best thing to come from Friday nights.

[@RobertWilson016]

thanks so much for making a new friday nights

[@bah-bammmm4516]

did alex's brother actually throw up on the ride?

[@DonniesBoStaff]

Probably

[@jayharyu927]

Man, flashbacks to the time I thought collected company rotating would make me like standard again. What a time to be alive

[@Scott-J]

I would absolutely run Missie's card, if only to prevent my opponents from playing with their phones while I take my exceedingly long control turn... well, their end step.

[@calvinsears1621]

That end segment was so much longer than I expected.

[@WhileTruePlay]

I cracked up at so many of Graham's moments in this. I love that man. I hope that he gets to do official MTG coverage or something in the future.

[@mf_durty5023]

that was great. I needed that laugh this morning. Thank you LRR

[@wmeno9942]

FINALLY AFTER THE WAIT WE HAVE A FRIDAY NIGHTS AND ITS ACTUALLY LONG

[@mrwalla4015]

I lost it when James replied "16 sylvan advocates". Too true

[@TJForceIX]

I love that opening conversation, 'cause it really does sum up my feelings about people thinking Merit Lige was gonna be in Eldritch Moon.

[@Tha3l]

I can look at that new Graham Stark card for over a minute, and still get entertained :D

[@donbosco1907]

Has anybody else rewatched the Friday Nights series multiple times? Or is it just me?

[@jackrubyultima]

Took me about halfway through the bit to realize it was referencing Glengarry Glenross

[@Hunter85792]

Oh my God, that stinger was pure gold.

[@idodo32]

what was that last part all about?

[@mrphlip]

Search the KZbins for "coffee is for closers" and you should find something explanatory.

[@pinballwitch5256]

It's a full homage to a pretty famous movie.

[@minasaglar]

I have to disagree. I was laughing my ass off multiple times during her speech, and it got funnier the longer she went.

[@JDhomieG]

same. really enjoyed it.

[@daracaex]

They did do something with The Professor. Go check Tolarion Community College for the newest Office Hours video with Garruk.

[@taitaisanchez]

Oh my god the post credits scene is amazing.

[@nicksmith197]

Haha, great episode. Love this series. Allison was awesome!

[@tinss619]

only if paul was running battle of wits, it would of been a sweet deck.
