[@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'.

[@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.

[@jerodast]

Um, actually if the universe simply expanded with no doubling of the resources themselves, there would be no benefit.

I haven't read the books in some time, but just a thought.

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.

[@Velacroix]

This game show is stupid engaging and creative, I love it. I wonder if they'd consider doing live formats on Twitch, or something. I know Caldwell from Drawfee, but it's good to see talent I don't recognize.

[@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." ?

[@shinobi-no-bueno]

The CH/Dropout gang seems like such a cool group of people to know and spend time with, I wish when I was a teenager I realized that it was actually possible to make choices to curate the life you want to have. It seems too late for me now but at least I can help my kids to have the future they desire

[@riptide5671]

Um actually, it’s not called pottermore anymore, it’s called wizarding world so that it includes fantastic beasts

[@Cardzer]

@@ikaro555 yeah, there's no point in our comments correcting these episodes when they're 2 years old at this point lol

[@TheMartyredextras]

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

[@SloanWentzell]

I love how the subtitle spell Choppa and then once caldwell spells it out with an h, the subtitles change it to Choppah

[@good-questions]

I love when Zac is on because it’s always just out of friendship with Trapp. He never does well lol and I mean that so nicely

[@DeafLeopard18]

Um, actually, the Tyrannos refers to the group of evil dinosaurs, like Ghengis Rex, while the question suggests that Tyrannos was one dude.

[@beaugantz4888]

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

[@keiferbeaudet7298]

You are all fantastic! Everyone on this show is fucking amazing! I had no idea how much I could love a bunch of nerds talking about nerdy shit all night. Not unlike a windmill I'm a huge fan.

[@rachelladue1572]

Um actually windmills aren't really fans given that fans are meant to create wind using some other power, whereas windmills use wind to power the mill

[@rushcarlton]

All thanks and praise to Zach and Trapp for saying crawfish correctly! 1 point to each of you.

[@nathanbarr7114]

basically never seen one piece (maybe 20 mins in total), but that art style is so iconic that i immediately recognized the map as belonging to one piece

[@ryald4245]

The most casual game of Um, Actually ever!

[@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.

[@byronp2311]

Ahh, Zac is back! Also, to get a really, really creepy version of 'Gnome-bots', read Clive Barkers short story, 'In The Hills, The Cities'. And they ain't gnomes. It is really hard to figure out at first because you can't expect it, but when the denouement comes, it is devastating..

[@alexshaw639]

When they fall, barker describes a body as broken into a swastika and I've always loved that image. Thanks for the member berry!

[@foltestthesiegemaster9751]

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

[@jacobpayne1]

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

[@Syrange13]

Hell yea papa caldy's in the house, things are about to get weirdly wholesome

[@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.

[@moogleplay9131]

All these years and Zac still looks like a teenager.

[@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 :/

[@berkpick]

@2:40 um, actually it's Capoeira inspired. Breakdance was also born from Capoeira which is why they're similar.
