[@superchaddi]

I shouldn't be, but every time I watch this show I'm surprised by how skilled Trapp is at keeping the atmosphere light and engaged while still moving the show along. Of course editing helps with the momentum aspect, but this is an excellent quiz show only because Trapp can manage the vibes with the contestants so well. It's familiar without feeling like some exclusive in-joke, and competitive without any unpleasant edge. I dunno how he manages to be relentlessly upbeat while never being obnoxious. An absurd talent to have. As a fully competitive quiz format with strangers gunning for the win this would totally fall apart because of the multiple guess system and various vague answers accepted, but lol I do not give even a tiny fuck about that because Trapp has the deftest fucking touch as a host. This probably would never make it to TV (happy to be proven wrong) but it is perfect armchair internet content. Well fucking done, Trapp and the Um, Actually team. Edit: Said this obliquely, but want to also mention explicitly how well-curated the guest-list is. A-plus example of how you want people who are the best at 'playing the game' rather than 'winning the game'.

I think the flexibility of the format to accommodate different moods based on the guests is part of what I like about it.

But I disagree that the spirit of the show by being a celebration of nerd culture means it cannot be super competitive

[@niagargoyle]

I like to imagine that the reason why the ghostbusters are financially destitute and doing kids’ birthday parties in the second movie is because the Stay Puft corporation sued the pants off of them. “We never authorized our mascot to be the avatar of a Sumarian deity!

@@charleslee8313 the EPA couldn’t keep them down, but Big Marshmallow could.

[@maddie9602]

I love the thought, but I suspect the real reason is that they basically did their jobs so well as to make themselves obsolete. Remember that before the coming of Zuul, ghosts weren't that big of a problem, and they were struggling to make ends meet. Gozer caused most of the spike in paranormal activity, so once they defeated them, ghosts stopped being a significant problem until the coming of Vigo the Carpathian in the sequel.

[@niagargoyle]

@@maddie9602 I admit that it has been a few years since I’ve seen the movie, so I don’t recall much about why they aren’t investigating anymore… I just remember that the kids wanted He-man and that one kid says that his dad thinks they are full of s***. Wikipedia says they were sued and bankrupted for property damage and banned from investigating the supernatural. But your theory does align pretty well with the 2009 video game. An architect in the late 1800s/early 1900s built several buildings as sort of spiritual magnets. When they reach critical mass, paranormal activity spikes, and a destroyer god is summoned.

[@jmrocket03]

Um actually, in the first 2 issues of the Ghostbuster comic book published by IDW a ghost possessed a lawyer from Stay Puft's parent company who showed up at the Ghostbusters HQ threatening to sue them for damages. However, in that version of the canon, the lawyer could only have known that because the entity possessing him was also connected to Gozer because the Ghostbusters had never revealed to the world how Stay Puft had come to be the entity destroying Manhattan of all possibilities.

@@littlemisspipebomb4723 I’m not directly involved, but I imagine it involves the same sort of rationalizing and careful rearranging of facts Star Wars fans have to do to paper over plot holes in their beloved universe. The only real difference is that the Wizarding World is dumb AND bigoted, instead of just dumb. It helps that Rowling is largely uninterested in the nitty-gritty details of the canon; I gather the team has a lot of freedom when writing the ways magic functions around the world, for example, because Rowling couldn’t care less what Chinese or Ugandan wizarding schools look like. So when she interjects with a particularly problematic detail - like asserting that skinwalkers, an important part of a living real-world religion, were just animagi misidentified by the primitive tribal natives - they have a lot of freedom to sweep that under the rug and say “well, actually, SOMETIMES animagi got mistaken for skinwalkers, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any real skinwalkers; and it wasn’t because the natives were primitive and superstitious, it was just the occasional simple, honest mistake.” They can’t directly contradict her, but they can still do a lot to protect the universe from her attitudes.

Considering it is something mentioned after the books were written I'm assuming it's not explained in canon anywhere, but just as a guess, it's possible the secret entrance was there just as a different room not being used as a bathroom.

[@Goldenheart_345]

Imagine if they did another shiny map question and had the warrior cats map in there

[@mintkit1]

I have been waiting for that day

[@wildfire8910]

as someone who loves this show and also loves NADDPOD, this episode with Caldwell makes me very happy

[@wawgamer3674]

UM ACTUALLY, "Dinosaucers" is just captain planet

[@dragonweyr44]

I hope they start making new episodes soon

[@MasterofUria]

i think there have been but they're Zoom formatted and on Dropout only right now :/

[@moogleplay9131]

All these years and Zac still looks like a teenager.

[@Generic_Man]

"Excuse me, I have to go. Somewhere there is a crime happening," is NOT the iconic line from that movie. "I'd buy that for a dollar!" is the iconic line.

[@Malkav65]

Thank you!

[@ColeHrusovsky]

Sorry, but you didn't say "Um, Actually"

[@Generic_Man]

@@ColeHrusovsky "Buddy, I think you're slime."

[@jerodast]

Um actually isn't it "bitches, leave." ?

[@Eclipsed_Archon]

watching this makes me realize how much of a pop culture nerd I'm totally not... Like I've seen Ghostbusters so many times and still never would have gotten that

[@joshuakempe3016]

Well, technically, you said Bruce Banner punched him into the force field, when in actuality, he put the hulkbuster fist onto his hand, and the jets grinded him against the force field.

[@MichaelRodman]

You didn't start with "uhm, actually"!

[@ryald4245]

The most casual game of Um, Actually ever!

[@TheMartyredextras]

I love this show and I love seeing Caldwell. Miss having him on drawfee.

[@kuno3336]

Im glad zac does the mushroom/marshmellow thing. Makes me feel less alone

[@foltestthesiegemaster9751]

I didn’t know I needed Zac Oyama as hulk in my life

[@GilearFaeth26]

Episodes like this really highlight Brennan’s effect on the Um Actually ecosystem.

[@jacobpayne1]

Given my love for Star Trek and Jim Henson, you’d think I’d have seen so much more of Farscape than actuality

[@kp-fc4yr]

I NEVER GOT ANY ANSWERS RIGHT ON THIS SHOW BUT I GOD DAMN GOT ONE PIECE I feel nerdy today. Thank you for that

[@GinkgoPete]

Frank failing to say "um actually" after being reminded by 3 seperate people and getting a second chance, but then saying it on the shiny question when he doesnt need to is just perfect.

[@polyrtm5545]

Wait... If there were no bathrooms at the beginning of Hogwarts, how did Salazar Slytherin manage to put the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets in one?

[@mintkit1]

A descendant of Salazar Slytherin reincorporated the entrance to the Chamber into the bathroom when it was placed over the original entrance.

[@rachelladue1572]

​@@mintkit1that was my justification, idk if it's actually mentioned anywhere

[@west3Dgaming]

I love the notion that we saved the crawfish sting question until the end of the full 30 minutes and everything else was just for that moment

[@KelpTheGreat]

29:19 Frank: "On second thought, let's not go to Camelot; they're a bunch of arseholes anyway." Mike: "Oh, 'cause they're British." I know Mike meant that the British people say arse instead of ass, but the actual way the line was delivered and could easily be interpreted is hilarious. 🤣

[@jerodast]

Loved the Stay Puft discussion haha. Terribly disappointed in the quotes results! Also that you didn't use "you lose, good day sir" in response to any of those answers :P

[@selonianth]

I can't believe I need to Um Actually a correction to a previous show, but Raleigh Beckett ALSO pilotted a Jaeger solo, finishing off the Kaiju that had killed his brother and then making the entire ten mile (minimum, potentially longer depending on where he came ashore) walk in Gypsy Danger solo. He did so with little issues after the fact. Stacker Pentacost was in a first gen jaeger which quite probably just had a nuclear leak and gave him radiation poisoning. That is not the cause of the primary health issues he faces later.

[@DDuffy143]

Omfg... the pirates of dark water!!!!! I’m going to rewatch all of it (or what was left of it) right now!

[@MasterofUria]

i am oddly attracted to Caldwell's chaotic antics 🥴❤

[@CXLVIII]

They gotta have Damien Haas from smosh on one of these, he would be so good at this.
