Holiday Specialtacular: Mario Party Party 11

[@hippari]

Maaaan, I was so bummed about Drew until Dan offered a beer and the camera pulled back. What a perfect Christmas gift this is.

[@penelopesa]

That reveal was amazing,

[@dastumpyone6110]

The Blinking White Guy, the Guy who got married at a Taco Bell and the guy that put a switch cartridge in his mouth got together to play a video game, such an amazing crossover episode.

[@ryans3420]

and Brad.

[@sonofan403]

And some DOTA fanboy. What an ensemble

[@DoctorDudePhD]

wait, which one got married at Taco Bell?

[@ElyskeTheDonut]

@@DoctorDudePhD Dan Ryckert was the first person to get married in a Taco Bell.

[@DoctorDudePhD]

@@ElyskeTheDonut I shouldn't have asked

[@MrAWESOME24777]

That Drew reveal shocked me real good! My mind is blown 🤯

[@alsorew]

I was thinking “nah, they not gonna drag him… OMG there he is!”

[@WritingOnGames]

DREW

[@yaminamon]

matt? lol

[@fm_232]

I marked out brother

[@mrjohndoeism]

The happiness of Mario’s “Mario time!” contrasted with Jeff’s face of resignation is worth more than any amount of stars.

That Drew unveil

[@xenosyke]

Masterful.

[@Ludakolo]

Drew left specifically so this would never happen to him again.

[@arcanesylph7975]

CyanFunk And yet it did.

[@Lillowh]

BUT THE FUTURE REFUSED TO CHANGE

[@CSManiac33]

But Dan is now gone so it is truly dead.

[@gbrincks]

"Aw man, that's cool but it's just not the same without Drew" *2 minutes pass* "YOOOOOOOO-"

[@jacobrichards1433]

Holy shit!!!!!! DREW!!!!!!!

[@shisho95]

That zoom out to Drew was geniuinly surprising and awesome. I miss that man.

[@coriohttv]

Jeff's explanation of board-games was so spot on, especially with that one guy who half-assedly teaches you the game as it goes, and half remembers, or just neglects to say important things, or forget and change it later on.

[@Silver_Warden]

Nearly four hours of excruciating pain for Jeff. Now this feels like Christmas!

[@MrGeremyTibbles]

"You want a beer?" for best moment of 2018.

[@BlazeyHero]

Within the first minute we see a pained Brad and Jeff, this is going to be good shit.

[@BlargleWargle]

"The Red Dead 2 of party games" That's a pretty stellar quote for the box, Mr. Gerstmann.

[@sanchezlb53]

YES, YES, YESSSSSSSSSS

[@TurboNemesis]

The gift of Drew Scanlon was all we really needed

[@zman08]

Dan Ryckert playing a Mario Party game while wearing a Macho Man Randy Savage Christmas sweater may be the most magnificent thing I've seen all year.

[@thegameneededme5]

It's the most Dan Dan has ever been.

[@colsanders101]

"Okay 30 turns so it's probably going to take an hour..." 3:49:20

[@goonertron87]

[@리쓰리쓰]

Someone PLEASE make a video of Jeff reflecting back on the Mario Party Party Journey with “that’s the way it is” over it, cut with quotes from Dan, Drew and Brad talking about Jeff and Mario Party.

[@MagikGimp]

I was SO stoked on the Drew reveal! Only GB get me giggling and fist-pumping the air like that!

[@phanpyken986]

Total wins from all games 1st:Dan 5 wins(1/3/6/7/8) 2nd:Drew 4 wins(2/5/9/Super) 3rd:Jeff 1 win(10) 4th:Brad 1 win(4) Jeff wins by stats

[@Gungho73]

Wish I could find footage of 9...

[@eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeo]

Nice spoiler for this one.....

[@octocoq]

game of skill

[@TCViper8618]

25:30 i called the dice roll before it happened. This game hates Jeff so much

[@TheAarontheblackmage]

When the camera pulled back to reveal Drew I could feel my heart grow three sizes.

[@JebusOurSavior]

BIGGER

[@bummblue]

wow. WOW! Oh, how I've missed Drew. And Mario Party. What a great surprise. :)

[@Cakeyyama]

The Drew Reveal was spectacular.

[@hivetyrant7]

1:40:50 Dan "Do planes have airlocks" Ryckert. Please never change man.

[@AshbySound]

Drewwww! So much joy.

[@spencer7126]

I cried when they zoomed out to Drew

[@ChickenFingers42]

Oh no...OH NO! OH YES!! Drew

[@Froakadoke]

Literally gasped when I saw Drew on the thumbnail. Such a treat to see him!

[@TophatGamerVideos]

"There's nothing like this!!!: You know, you're not wrong Dan.. but maybe there's a reason for that.

[@drdevman]

Hey Drew’s here! What an awesome surprise!

[@ellieisanerd]

It's both a Boxing Day Miracle and Boxing Day Nightmare!

[@queen_marika057]

That was a good-ass Drew reveal :D

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

"It's the last one they will ever make", made me laugh way too much.

[@strykerking]

Thumbs up for Mario Party. Thumbs up for Drew.

[@ElyskeTheDonut]

Dan: “only two turns left...” Check time: half an hour

[@wideyon5]

I know that nobody wins a mario party, however the entire audience wins with the whole gang all here for super mario party. Thanks giant bomb this is a fantastic Christmas gift! 🎁 🙏 💝

[@YokeDatOneBloke]

2:06 DUUUUUUUUUDE!!! Why haven't I noticed this video until now!?

[@ChiefMagitek]

*N̶O̶B̶O̶D̶Y̶ EVERYBODY WINS*

[@ben91891]

If you're searching for Dan hurting his neck, it's at 1:50:20

[@RiffFlair]

3:07:27 I thought Drew finally swore on camera. I had to rewatch that like 7 times. I was astounded.

[@KaijuFan]

Popped harder for Drew than I did for Owens winning the title

[@HeyItzJD]

Dan to Drew: "Have you seen Dragon Ball Z? Do you want to watch every Dragon Ball? We're doing it."

[@xo4535]

A WILD SCANLON APPEARS?

[@zrobeast]

Drew returning to the hell that is Mario Party Party is the greatest Christmas gift ever.

[@rebootcomputa]

Poor Drew coming back for this game... LOL Brads face says it all.

[@johnny5x47]

Hell Yeah Drew! so glad to see him!

[@dudeglove]

"is twitter just mario party"

[@andrewdunn1790]

Ahhhh Drew...it’s good to have you back.

[@johnthebomb06]

Who's watching this after Dan left? :(

[@RDubs140]

I got so excited the moment I heard Drew's voice.

[@Krakn3Dfx]

"you said it's good, so it must be different somehow" Off to a great start.

[@Brashnir]

They're not booing, they're saying "DREEEEWWWWWWW"

[@RockBottomRiser21]

I was saying Drewurns.

[@troyisfilming]

I had the biggest smile on my face when they pulled the camera back and it was DREW!!!

[@Xshinobi2k8]

Jeff’s reaction at 00:34 is freakin perfect.

[@DanishingAct]

Man, I miss this.

[@md8181]

names are moved @ 12:31 if you wanna skip to when you can see the gameplay relevant stuff

[@KarnmasterGaming]

This may be the greatest game of Mario Party ever. I love all the pain....

[@pierdeer]

Hell yes! This is the best gift

[@IgnatiusJReilly10]

I was a bit worried there would be no drew. This is awesome

[@keeper0754]

Jeff's complete and utter lack of interest in playing this is delicious!

[@lancerfour]

the legend continues

[@Macho_Fantastico]

That reveal was fantastic, wouldn't be a Mario Party without him.

[@michaelwhite1372]

The thumbnail kinda spoils the reveal but god damn it's good to see the gang all back together.

[@Sirhc7000]

Michael White yeah it sucks that the youtube animated preview function kind of spoils it BUT STILL...OMG!!!

[@bleuorange3312]

IT'S HAPPENING

[@MuffButcher]

Bud Light is the pure piss of beers

[@WH1MS1]

i dont know why but drew appearing is the best thing thats happened to me this year

[@GalletaGalletosa]

i hope they get together for mario party suerstar

[@boredmonkee]

I’m afraid to hit like on this and inadvertently get Mario party vids in my feed.......but I’ll bite the bullet for GIant Bomb

[@AStandsForFrench]

thanks, I hate it oh wait, Drew is here, nevermind, I LOVE IT

[@fenriswolf20]

That's a pretty good Drew reveal.

[@yaboichazzy]

Now this is a gift...

[@Kranzio-]

When Drew becomes a world famous travel show host, these are the moments he’ll look back on with shameful disgust.

[@VolksMarine90]

Over half the game I was thinking, wow how refreshing Super Mario Party doesn't repeat mini games, ... but I forget this is Mario Party everyone loves a classic. Even if it's a joke.

[@theguardian8317]

damn. how did them manage to play this long? It took me about 3 days of watching the video as background noise to be able to finish

[@thesnagglewolf]

Seeing Drew just makes me so happy.

[@michaelt.7108]

DREWWWWW

[@tezdevries]

The last ten turns all felt like they took forFUCKINGever.

[@CaffeinatedKing]

Awesome to see Drew again

[@darianhunter]

Great to see Drew!!

[@Dinolactate]

Watching this with a killer hangover - feels right

[@joshuamoncada8176]

YES!!!! DAN is STILL torturing people with Mario Party!!!! I have a lot of Giant Bomb to go thru since he left Gameinformer :D

[@Shadowrebel]

The second i saw Drew, this video made my year :)

[@spoogtastic]

That drew saddle in was fucking great. I am so happy.

[@Wartooth91]

2:17:30"i totally did it" no..wario is still dancing...you didn't do it

[@rocketb00t]

Wow, Jeff explaining why he hates board gaming really emphasizes his cynicism. On a more positive note, Drew's presence makes everything better! What a dream boat!

[@drbeard4505]

Jeff refusing that last hi-five at the end was brutal.

[@ladambell]

DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW

[@arkane9b]

The best Christmas present this year.

[@arkane9b]

Also, how was Slaparazzi never selected, and some mini-games were selected twice by the game? So dumb design.

[@englandhat2297]

Hell yes, everyone's pilot friend returns!

[@BF_Brix]

So fitting that Drew would win the last GiantBomb Mario Party Party with the OG crew.

[@Gungho73]

Brad was trying his hardest to not stare at Dan. He was selling his disdain for this series so hard.

[@Rozellion]

that early camera work was brilliant omg

[@paul_bellini]

The Drew reveal was well done.
