Luke's Archery Challenge: Ellen's Forbidden West Quiz | Show of the Weekend

[@druinofodd1762]

There'll be a sign on the studio door saying "Forbidden: Westaway" after this.

[@GriffinWolf]

Horizon Forbidden Westaway?

[@christopherhammond5142]

Smooth.

Boo! But also, nice one!

[@piyam5000]

Beautiful

[@coffeeaddict9605]

"They've turned off dislikes now so it's fine, we're bulletproof." That got me. 😂 Also Andy is gonna kill them.

[@Sableagle]

223 likes, so "bulletproof" is appropriate, because .223 Remington, but I don't think Jane's going to be using bullets.

[@youkofoxy]

With stealth and deception.

[@Edgelite306]

And the staby stabs

[@bustinarant]

*I'll* never tell..

[@aidenmcnally6039]

I need an Andy reaction video in my life right now!!

[@starminoui]

I was waiting for Andy to walk in lol. Jon is like the cool uncle who lets the kids go wild while the parents are out at dinner.

[@oxfanblink4115]

😂🤣 Wonder if Jane would of spanked them Kill Bill style with her sword 🤔

[@jocosesonata]

Lesson learned: Do *_NOT_* leave the kids unsupervised with a bow and arrow. Honestly, it's partly the fault of the parents on this one. They should've known better. And if anybody asks, Jon wasn't there.

[@SarimDeLaurec]

I'd say it was Andys fault for not being there.

[@jocosesonata]

@@SarimDeLaurec For shame, really. Here I thought _He_ was the most responsible one out of the trio. I could forgive Mike, since he's almost as irresponsible, can't exactly expect him to be the judgemental one... Also, he'd probably suggest attaching a firework _after_ reprimanding them. Jane... Honestly, she gets the least of the blame, since she'll just replace them with new and improved clones, and probably doing it right now, as we speak. *RIP, current Luke & Ellen; they had a good run.*

[@emmilouda]

Sometimes you watch two grown adults play with a bow and arrow in a small room with fragile equipment, and you have an inkling what’s going to happen. Never change, Luke and Ellen. Except for when it comes to safety glasses. Maybe change into those.

[@Jacen436987]

and one of those adults repeatedly exclaims that he's a normal, adult man doing normal, adult things while the other giggles her head off.

[@gruggerduggerhoose]

“Hello future Luke, hope you aren’t playing too much Elden Ring. Get some vitamin D” *somewhere in a darkened room, Luke grunts under the harsh light of a monitor “Ohhhhhbh Elden Ring” lol

[@Icam_here]

well done Luke with that shot that only hit the target and nothing in the background, also great to see a Producer Jon Cameo

[@marhawkman303]

I dunno, is it a cameo when you're in frame THAT long? Feels more like a supporting role?

[@PLAYER_42069]

Luke shooting an arrow into the wall is definitely a Presh Memory, for 2022. With all the other chaos going on in the world right now, it actually feels appropriate in a soothing kind of way.

[@Pash1992]

You two could literally talk about anything and I mean ANYTHING and I would still happily watch :)

[@Prawnsly]

what about something really horrible, like burning down puppy orphanages

[@ALPHARHYTHM0]

@@Prawnsly well there was the other orphanage...

[@fatzmcgee]

A hole in the wall, a game of pin the tail on the donkey, and a Robin Hood shoutout.... absolutely wonderful.

[@stone5against1]

Bit disappointed that for the Robin Hood shot, they didn't make the arrow go back into the hole.

[@Vinja_Wolters]

Luke: shoots hole in background. Also Luke: continuous to shoot arrows in detection of background.

[@soft_butter4629]

I imagine at 14:44 Andy was somewhere in the world and clutched his chest as he felt a disturbance he couldn’t identify

[@randyotte9599]

I was so waiting for Property Manager Andy to make an appearance after the arrow went into the wall...

[@hansolochewbacca4260]

Chortling so much at your antics XD Also, as so many are saying, DON'T SIT IN THE LINE OF FIRE FOR ARCHERY! There weren't even safety goggles!!!

[@PhoenixKrash69]

Ellen’s been playing too much Darksouls, she’s starting to think she’s immortal.

[@typacsk]

Safety goggles are apparently reserved for their spider videos.

[@bustinarant]

I had a paper plane hit me in the eye one time, so thankfully Luke's arrows are true.

[@flakes1972]

As someone who practices archery, I can't begin to tell you guys how on edge I was seeing Ellen sitting in Luke's firing line - Even with a really tiny children's bow with rubber arrows. xD

[@toschiworlds7212]

Yeah, I was sitting here like 'At least wear safety goggles, please'

[@Amaritudine]

Likewise. Not only that, but also Luke dry-firing the bow 😬 It was a bit like watching an archery safety video showcasing "exactly what not to do on the range". On the plus side, the backdrop was the only casualty, so I think they got away with it this time.

[@outsidextra]

I’ve seen a lot of comments like this and want to assure you all that, despite how it looks on camera, I was *not* in the line of fire. It’s deceptive, like when you watch football on screen and you can’t always tell where the ball is until it lands, or realise it’s somewhere completely different when you see it from another angle. The arrows were nowhere near me, just in front of me compared to the camera. I’ve done archery before as a kid and I know not to put myself where an arrow could hit me. But I’ll wear goggles if we do this again to set everyone’s minds at ease haha - E

[@autochton]

@@outsidextra The line of fire is, loosely speaking, anywhere in the forward 180⁰ of the bowman...

[@Amaritudine]

@@outsidextra It's all good, just instinctive reactions from folks who are used to the structured precautions of a target range. In our minds, anyone who's not standing behind the archers is technically in front of them, which immediately stops everyone firing - even if it's just rubber-tipped blunt arrows or low-poundage bows. Like I say, it's just an instinctive reaction drilled into us on the archery range, not necessarily a reflection of any actual danger.

[@zotha]

Luke's washing machine story was my reality just recently, stuck trying to get water out of it while it was sitting on the floor and realistically just collecting most of it with towels.

[@ZumbaMarx]

Finally, the laundry discourse I've been waiting for!

[@neolexiousneolexian6079]

Those COWARDS at Playstation Access won't tell you about the *real* issues!

[@pctech714]

I was waiting for an indignant Andy to burst in: "What on EARTH have you done?"

[@Dollightful]

Ellen looks so cute in that jumper!

[@garrettsmith8562]

Here's a story to make you feel better, Luke: When I was in school, we did a unit on archery and we were set up in the gym with the targets over at one end with this big, huge cloth hanging behind them, which is designed to catch arrows and it's too tough for them to pierce, I guess. And that was to protect the bleachers behind the targets, especially because it was a pretty new gym. I think that was the first year it was used. So anyway, I failed so spectacularly at hitting the target that I actually still managed to hit the bleachers. We think the arrow bounced under the cloth, which gathers in a bundle along the ground, and then ricocheted up to bury into like the third row up. It was almost impressive. Lol.

[@mms16]

[@marhawkman303]

Does Jon count there?

Ellen, your giggle always makes me smile, and your hair is looking amazing today.

[@mikegiron3071]

Luke, the sock miracle you're describing is called a SockDock. It's a cord with sliding clips to group socks in twos and string several pairs together throughout the wash. I got one for a stocking (ha) stuffer and it works well!

[@notoriousbmc1]

*Meanwhile, Lenny Henry is in a Zoom meeting with his lawyer's* "So, this Westaway fella, just admitted to stealing our Internet. What are you going to do about it!?" "5-10 years, easily." "...throw away the key." "He did pay for breakfast, though. So...probably out in 5." "Time enough to think on his crimes."

[@isaactimmins8959]

that's the real reason they're doing oxventure Island for Comic Relief, Luke has somehow got the team on board to pay for the crimes,

[@TJEverley]

"For some reason," she says! *shudder* As a former competitive archer, that break happens as a result of what's called a "dry shoot" - i.e. firing without an arrow. The tension of the shot can't be discharged via the arrow and instead reverberates through the bow. The tension looks for the weakest point to expell itself, usually where the limbs meet the riser, which is what causes the break.

[@Arnwa1d]

Forbidden Westaway making a real permanent impression there

[@TheWeepingPiano]

When I do laundry at home we use safety pins to pin socks together at the heels before washing them. (I lightly cuff them before putting them in the bin so they stay paired and then separate and pin before going in the wash)

[@ryangale3757]

Without having watched the video yet, my immediate reaction is: "Who let Luke have a bow and arrow?!" 😄

[@VonBlade]

[narrator] It didn't.

[@SolaScientia]

Luke has a good point about laundry, lol. I'd love my laundry to put itself away. I'm extremely glad I hadn't taken a sip of my tea when that arrow went through the roll like that. It did make a very satisfying noise though.

[@cerberus144]

Don't feel too bad Luke, when I was a kid I got an archery kit for Christmas that I had for like one hour before it got taken away from me because I accidentally shot my step-dad's antique Christmas light bulbs. OOPS.

[@RepKyle95]

I love you two so much. No matter what is going on in my life you guys never fail to make me laugh.

[@rashkavar]

Having had a crumpled up sock not uncrumple just in this week's laundry: the dryer does not get it dry enough! (side note: if you have heat on, that's an easy way to touch up the odd thing the dryer doesn't dry out - just lay it out on the vent or near the space heater or whatever. NOT directly on top of the space heater or other heating element, if you have direct heat sources, putting flammable stuff right on them is how you make fires, not dry stuff!)

[@bast713]

My face hurts from laughing 🤣🤣🤣 That was phenomenal Also, don't be me when your dryer breaks. Went and got a new one same day, and in the process of removing the old and installing the new, I forgot there were still clothes in the old dryer till a few hours after the scrap place picked it up. I lost some good leggings that day.

[@nickdejager8873]

"Gaming's greatest world saving ginger" Chrono begs to differ, I have no problem talking about socks and washing machines. I know the pain of the broken washing machine. And the reason that you can't prefold the socks before washing is that any dirt or sweat inside will be trapped and not removed.

[@mephi2go]

An idea for Luke's sock sorting improvement: Sock clamps! Clamp a pair of socks together and put 'em in the wash. That's basically the same amount of work you have to do afterwards, but in the end the socks would stay together.

[@polospolis]

[@martinsummerall6344]

I know need a canonical reaction from Andy when he finds out lol

[@g.i.e]

When I was a teenager I got very into archery and had a bow with a 90 pound draw and real pointy arrows. I practiced in our backyard until I shot an arrow THROUGH the fence and got it lodged under the wheel of a car ACROSS THE STREET. That could have broke SO BAD in so many ways! After that I practiced with a professional target in the massive empty lot down the street.

[@DrAwesome6710]

Okay, this is my new favorite SOTW. I will be returning here when I need a good laugh after a bad day. 😂💜

[@liltigerz2265]

So wish Andy had been at the window at that moment :P

[@thajocoth]

13:58 - A friendly tip: It's generally not recommended to snap a bow's string without an arrow in it if you want the bow to last longer, as there's no arrow to take the force, so the force travels along the string and goes into the bow's frame instead, causing it to weaken faster over time.

[@guyjackson1839]

When they were talking about the folding socks, where you fold them together and then put them in the wash, my family has been doing that since before I was born, so more than 25 years

[@aidenmcnally6039]
