Glad to see the star of the show, Dom Allen, is back.

[@terriblej6107]

And his glorious mustache

[@burdenboy247]

Daddy is back, and his piglets are here to suckle

Nothing makes this piglet happier than seeing Dom playing games with his subordinates and allowing them to win.

I like how everyone has just accepted that Dom is Stalin. There will be a time in the future that people will be like "Are you talking about the real Stalin or Joseph Stalin"?

Blaire being rhe pixar lamp was elite and i felt so bad when the others didnt get it

[@whynotanyting]

Teri trying to recover off camera after she says "That's not how you do it!" got to me

Blair's impression of "The Emu War" at 52:38 is amazing.

Laurie: remembering the words by planning his day. The enema, conjugal visit, and missionary cards:

[@Cosmic_Gorilla]

Sounds like a pretty standard Tuesday to me.

[@RepChris]

As it turns out coversion therapy can work, its just that instead of torturing the person you have them loose at MONIKERS, which for Dom does count as torture

[@dominicfulgencio9279]

As soon as Dom yelled "FOCUS! OKAY, GO" I realized how much I truly had missed that evil mustache man

[@leoiunti7752]

Their first Monikers video is an all timer, adding Dom and Dan this time is a sure way to have another one

[@tmonty5218]

This might be one of my favorite videos by them

[@dancrooksycamore]

Holly's defenestration needs turning into a green screen gif 😂

[@daveautzen9089]

We’ve played this, but with the family members writing things down. All were thrown in a bowl and drawn randomly every round. There were 18 people playing, 2 teams of 9 of course.

[@Zeigler_]

Glad to see Dom back on the show this week, his piglets are ready!

[@hannah2729]

i'm obsessed with Holly's clue for defenestration at 25:35, i replayed that bit so many times. the new camera angles really make it shine, too.

[@SoundsOfTheWildYT]

Them not getting blaires pixar lamp mime was criminal. The squeaky jumping noise alone gave it to me, it was spot on 👌 There’s probably loads of instances of that for a lot of people watching but that was my biggest miss. Awesome vid as always ❤

[@lucone2937]

Ken and Holly are very good at this game, plus Blair can dance like Shakira.

[@johnpotts8308]

The likeness is uncanny!

[@EthalaRide]

52:55 She NAILED that Pixar Lamp. It was pitch perfect

[@Rivergreeen24]

I have never seen more glee on Ken’s face than when he spanked himself.

[@janekotoole8751]

Ken's into spanking, Holly's doing a very strange version of missionary, Dom is straight... some dark truths about the NRB team coming out today...

[@marveludus]

Scrolled down to see if anyone had mentioned Dom's little piglets... Did not expect it to only be six comments down. This community is very reliable

Blair did do the Pixar lamp noise perfectly

[@katyzorzi1534]

I love that non aussies know about all our deadly animals, and of course the drop bears, but don't know about us waging a war against the emus and losing

[@pidj.]

Or shoeys!

[@Karnivori]

I would love to see the hand puppets and "only head above the table" rounds. If you feel the game would be to long, you can just start with fewer cards.

[@robynthethird4776]

Another good fourth round is sound effects only, in my household when people can be persuaded we just crouch behind a couch to nothing can be inferred visually

[@Tribdinosaur]

18 minutes in I already know this is gonna be a new favorite episode of mine. Monikers is great in the way it naturally creates in-jokes.

[@jasonlib1996]

you can tell hollys acting training coming in handy at the charades part

[@supersparerib]

Another wonderful appearance of Blair's cool hat!!!

[@marveludus]

Love Dom cheekily calling the audience losers before even starting the game

[@Qaxzol]

Blaires impression of the pixar lamp was so under appreciated it was actually perfect

Dom Allen in the thumbnail? Of course we will click it

[@lucash741]

Holly is very good at this game

Blairs pixar Lamp is so good!

I was only only half paying attention when Ken was giving "Eye exam air puff test" word by word. When he said "thing you do at the end of school for grades" I thought he was going for "blow" 💀

[@CheeseyBabyLoueNo2]

Ken shouldn't have been looking at all the cards at the start when Blair was reading them out

[@bernard832]

Holly is so good at this.

[@ezracohen6020]

Yeah, she carried throughout both of the games, both speeding through the easy ones, and coming up with a really good ways to get the hard ones

The gaydar line by Tom was gold

31:43 Always on Holly’s mind 👩‍⚖️

[@EvanC881]

Such a fun one and ofc so happy to see Holly and Ken 😊❤

[@macy2000]

"Look at it shine" brought back horrifying memories of Mr Susan in The Mighty Boosh 😅

[@LittlestSamurai]

Mukbang just means "eating broadcast", you don't have to eat a lot of food. Originally people just streamed themselves eating because they were lonely at meal times.

[@gmofkings]

Dom is always excellent.

[@PhiSpiral]

Dom trying to describe a T-Shirt Cannon is maybe the most awkward thing I've ever seen. D...does he even own a Tshirt?

[@user-ix3ch6zh4i]

Hey, I have an idea for another type of Monopoly, it's called Drinkopoly, but I affectionately call it Drunkopoly. Here are the rules to it; This is how to turn Monopoly into a drinking game lads. Enjoy lads =-D The game plays as normal with just a few rules added on: Drink if you land on someone's property but down it, if they own the entire set. Drink a shot if you land on a hotel Nominate someone to drink for 5 seconds should they pass ‘GO’ Land on Chance, the barman chooses a shot/drink for you Land on Community Chest, and you get to choose the shot! Roll a double, down your pint. If you land yourself in Jail. Bail is to down 2 pints to be released. If the bank owes you money, you can choose to have someone down their drink.

[@jaspermooren5883]

Dom Allen's mustach status is fucking with my perception of time.

[@shellsterdude]

This is basically a commercialized version of a game called "Salad Bowl". It is a ton of fun to play at a party and I highly recommend it.

[@jochemhoogantink8075]

Does I see a dom preparing to become Stalin once more?

[@Niourgl]

Holly and Blair are so good at this game!

[@itiscujo]

52:52 You did do the noise perfectly Blair, that was OBVIOUSLY the Pixar lamp!

[@blainehaze]

52:06 i appreciated the impression of the merchant in RE4 Laurie

[@Matt-lb4cn]

Such a fantastic episode. Too many moments I want to reference, I'll just say A+ work by all!

[@thomashodson-cottingham3733]

I haven’t finished the video yet but I am already very glad I watched this; great start to my morning

[@MKisFeelinSpicy]

Oooo, looking forward to Decorum!! Monikers-er was a lot of fun :)

[@erebusrat]

To be fair to Blair, in round 2 of Time's Up you can do gestures still, and it's almost the exact same game as Monikers. Easy mistake to make.

[@monkeysparkle4758]

I see your Friends references and I'm here for them

[@Veggieman87]

Another fantastic bit of fun from the Board Game Clubhouse! I've never played Decorum, but it was very popular at my FLGS before I moved, and overhearing it was hilarious, so I can't wait to see how the Board Game Club Irregulars handle it!

[@vickythefray]

This was such a fun one! loved it

[@callumella8812]

Just ordered a whole load of fun board games, including monikers, the original one, ever so excited to finally get to play a bunch of the games that I have seen played on this channel

[@jaydereszynski3101]

ITS THE BEST TIME OR THE WEEK!! ITS BOARD GAME CLUB!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@teekessel]

I understood it as Ken getting 45 seconds the next round, but it was about a minute instead. So I was just as confused as Dan.

[@ramsay2234]

Wait… my gaydar was wrong?

[@ntrintva5177]

I love when you guys play party games!

[@Je11yBe11y]

Dapper Dom, is a best Dom

[@alexmasnyk8142]

Am I the only one that thinks the next House Rules should be this with custom words?

[@sonan333]

At 42:57, in Blair's defense, at 4:20 when Holly asked for a clarification, Holly asked if you could use actions in the first round, and this was probably misconstrued/misremembered by Blair as "Can you use actions in the first (two) round(s)?". At least, that's how I interpreted it. I assumed it was a "cascading" set of rules, where the base set was just restricted. And since the base set had actions allowed, it makes sense that the second would also have it. Rephrased, it makes sense that it would go: Round 1 is actions plus gestures, without using the words on the card. Round 2 is only one word (plus actions). And Round 3 is just actions. So from a logical progression point of view, Blair's thought process was sound.

[@markp7262]

My pop culture knowledge is getting decidedly dated. There was definitely a lot of more recent stuff that I didn't recognize (although there were some older references that made me smile). Of course, the rapid-fire pace of game play makes it more difficult for this new knowledge to sink in, so this old dog won't be learning a lot of new tricks. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Edvaril]

Blair did a perfect Pixar Lamp, not sure how they missed it

[@firemanoctopus]

I enjoyed the video. I also liked the 30 minute head more than the 60.

[@grifftowninc]

Game 1 - Total points in Round 1 = 81, total points in Round 2 = 83, total points in Round 3 = 82... Cards didn't change, point values didn't change... Maths!

[@justinehercthehuman]

Wait WHAT?!? IS THIS AN EXPANSION? More Monikersy? Monikerser?

[@spencetales]

I LOVE TUESDAYS !! NRB DAYS !!

[@yourpsychicfriendfredbear]

Oh I’ve played a version of this at a party once, we all wrote down three characters and each had a minute to get through as much as we could (in teams still). I didn’t get the memo of well known fictional characters, so one of mine was Karl Marx, Scooby Dum, and Lola Bunny. For the one word round people just said my name. This is gonna be so much worse I’m so excited!

[@shanedbunting]

Dom looked so dejected after Blair got Guedetama(sp). Poor guy. Also Church for Bingo, is that where they play it alot over there?

[@jjr2707]

Love how much dom geting into this game

[@atesemireltutar6661]

A smaller and better Blair

[@danhall2674]

If you're counting Smash Bros then Mario can double jump. Also, there's no reason why there needs to be only 3 rounds, if you're having fun, you can make up rounds, we've done stuff like charades under a bedsheet, hand puppets behind the sofa, facial expressions only

[@teagletron]

Friends and Boosh references early on. We off to a good start.

[@MrJojux]

We played a similiar game with friends, but it was drawing, charades, one word, a noise

[@hexonyou]

listening to them butcher trypophobia for minutes on end lmao. You guys almost got there in the end

[@skrapr5457]

I still don't believe that this "Terry" person exists

[@KamakazeTaco]

Pretty sure if Ken gets the last turn in round 1, the first turn in round 2 AND the last turn in round 2 AND the first and last turn in round 3 then yes, his team does get extra time. He only has like 4 cards on his turn he doesn't need the full minute

[@ezracohen6020]

The first team always gets more time (unless the game ends exactly when someone on the second team finishes their time, in which case it would be equal), the in between rounds don’t matter because each person always gets a minute total even if switching between rounds (which means that after anyone on the second team finishes, both teams have spent an equal amount of time guessing and at any other point in time the first team has played more), if the game ends during the turn of someone on the first team, they got exactly as much extra time as they took in that last round, and if it ends on the second teams turn, the first team got extra time equal to one minute minus the amount of time the second team took in the round that ended the game, ultimately, though this extra time is always going to be under a minute, so I don’t think it matters all that much

[@ezracohen6020]

There also isn’t really any way to avoid this (the easiest way to understand why it’s impossible to avoid the first team playing for a greater [or very rarely an equal] amount of time to the second team, is to simplify the game, if you had one card, the first player could end the game on their turn at any point, and the second team would obviously have spent less time playing, because they never got to go at all, and even if they managed to win on their turn instead, unless they did it at the last possible second, it’s impossible for them to have played as much as the other team, because the other team played for a minute, and they played for less than one, the only real way to avoid it would be to allow everyone to guess, cut the teams out of the game entirely, and rework the scoring, and at that point, it’s a significantly different game), in fact, the mechanic of continuing the next round with as much time left of the minute as you had from the previous round serves to keep this at a minimum, where more intuitive methods would be to either go to the next player and start them with a full minute or continue with the same player starting with a full minute, these methods would actually lead to a slightly greater time disparity between the teams (with the first method someone on the second team might end up with one card that gets immediately guessed in rounds 1 and 2, which would pass it to someone from the first team, which leads to a maximum of three minutes difference, and with the second method, someone on the first team, could end the rounds at the very last second, also leading to a maximum three minutes difference between the teams)

[@samuelwoodhouse1796]

What a way to find out Laurie is a fan of The Mighty Boosh! 😂 You forgot to take into account, my mirror balls.
