Making Afternoon Tea Blindfolded to Prove We're Ready for PSVR 2

[@chellyfishing]

Ellen casually getting a jar of jam open while blindfolded and hands covered in cream and she wonders why she’s the top seed for the zombie apocalypse

[@Joe90h]

My money's on Jane. I feel like Ellen would balk in the face of confronting friends turned into zombies, while I can imagine a scenario such as, "Wow, nice job chopping up zombie Andy and protecting us all, Jane!" "He was a zombie?"

[@notdobnotdob8794]

4:25 Loved Jon’s IMMEDIATE response of “No” to Luke’s still asking question of “Is it too late to put eyes on the mask”. LOL!

[@jacksonbecker9374]

I love Luke's laugh at 5:20, it's so sudden and genuine

The very gentle and theatrical soundtrack while Ellen grows frustrated with the lack of additions to her tea as well as confusing the saucer for the cup really made that a scene of all time.

[@LJay_1985]

Clever thinking with Siri. Luke didn't see that coming! I can imagine Ellen being incredibly resourceful in escape rooms & such situations. What devious challenge awaits her next? Lockpicking while underwater?

This episode was just perfection from beginning to end! I'm now terrified of Ellen, anyone who can use a knife to pop a jar blindfolded is NOT to be trifled with!

Remember when this was a channel about upcoming video games? This is just better. We always said that they could do anything and it would be enthralling because they're both so lovely, and so it proves. Ahhhh. Yes I will be replaying 5:19 for ages.

[@MSte21]

Ellen's burst of rage at the lack of milk and sugar, and her steely-jawed working of the jam jar with the butter knife while blindfolded...she may be adorable, but she's also terrifying!

[@JohnWilliams-cr2sz]

Props to Ellen for being a great friend at the end there and protecting Luke's laptop from the tea.

[@SmallGreenPlanetoid]

I love how the moment that Ellen shouted "Thumbnail!" is the actual thumbnail for this episode.

[@liamearl753]

11:43 you can't even want a PSVR 2 without luke showing up and doing this to you and it "rendering this challenge entirely unnecessary" 18:30

[@cognitivefailure]

One of the best Oxtra videos I've seen in a while! The eyes on the blindfold really put it over the top.

[@LunesLunacy]

Have they tried playing Tea Party Simulator 2015 by Liens, Power Up to Maximum? I think its just as difficult and funny as doing it in real life. Also I love the stickers on Luke's laptop as well as happy that Ellen did not hurt herself when she held that knife.

[@simplydavemn]

I want to see a bigsetup like this on some new tech and then Luke Pulls out a copy of Pokemon Magazine.

[@LacroixboiMarx]

Butter knife opening technique was pro strats! Also, I stare in American at the butter knife in jam thinking that’s just how I have always done it 😂

[@JoePlinkelton]

And the Cream proves once again that Grease is a powerful spell

[@mephi2go]

I love how Ellen explains her procedure like a professional, while Luke and Jon are just giggling their arses off. :D And, to actually provide something meaningful: If you have neither screwdriver nor knife, just turn your jam jar on the head and slap it with some force on the bottom. That increases the interior pressure, making it easier to open. And always use your left hand to screw off the lid. These are all experiences you learn with hyper keratosis on your palms. 🙈

[@PsychoPuppyify]

[@BlueLoneWolf527]

The laughs and cackles going on throughout this whole scenario had me snickering along with you guys even if my throat is still torn from being sick half the week. Watching Ellen make a Sloppy Scone while literally blindfolded was intriguing and hilarious to observe if one forgets that it's got anything to do with VR tech. The bit with Siri was pure genius even if that and actual texting sadly didn't work like she hoped. Fun times you guys, loved it like always!

[@GhengisJohn]

"We're going to have you prepare tea and a scone with clotted cream while blindfolded as part of the most British challenges ever", apparently.

[@danielharvison7510]

But it was green tea! If it was properly British, wouldn't the tea have been Yorkshire Gold, as decreed by the most Spiffing Brit, the most British person ever? The scones were well done though, good on Ellen for that.

[@xray235]

07:27 A quick tip I learned from a blind friend: When pouring a cup, stick a fingertip just over the rim and stop pouring when you feel the water.

[@brendanlynch8458]

Ellen is precious and must be protected at all costs

[@D.J.Berryman]

I would give my life for either of them

[@indi90air]

I thought Ellen opening the jar of jam with a knife while blindfolded was going to go horribly terribly wrong and I was so worried. I guess after all those years of playing a stealthy thief in games, her dexterity stat must be through the roof! Also, Luke's offended but impressed expression when Ellen tried to message him with Siri was priceless. That was some quick & clever problem solving. Or at least would have been, if it worked.

[@GriffinWolf]

This was great! I live with a blind man and by the second tea-pouring attempt, Ellen had learned the most important rule - use your hands! (How my dad manages to pour actual boiling water without scalding himself, I will never understand.) I think, however, you should fire that butler for bringing your tea un-poured and your scone un-creamed. Also, you two British heathens put the cream on FIRST?!! Madness. Jam, then cream.

[@AlvinX13]

This is definitely going to be In 2023s presh mems video. Such a good episode😂

[@tyrannicpuppy]

Sometimes, Show of the Weekend is a very serious show to discuss upcoming releases and gaming news that doesn't quite fit the main channel. And then there are shows like this one where it's just brilliant comedic chaos from start to finish, and I am here for it. Though I am sorry that Ellen got so horribly and repeatedly scolded throughout. That was unfortunate.

Scones are fun, we were in Bath in 1991, our first time, down from Glasgow visiting my parents, and having a "cream tea" in the Pump rooms My OH was slathering the scone in butter, whilst I was being sparing Of course, it is called a "cream tea" for a reason, it was clotted cream, not butter D'oh

[@Monkeyzforever]

Pleasantly surprised the comment section isn't just one big argument over whether the cream or jam goes first. I avoid the controversy altogether and put cream on one half jam on the other then squish them together like a cake 😂

[@probably-aquarion]

That's because they got it right first time.

[@captaincoombe]

Waitrose scones and Bonne Maman jam?? Glad to see that Luke has been given a healthy props budget this year. ;-)

[@Psysium]

This has been one of my favorite bits so far. The slightly off-kilter second eye absolutely killed me!

[@katfromthekong414]

That Planet of the Apes stream was hands down the funniest video ever! Just to finish the line in the clip (say it with me now folks): "Why is that an option in the game?" 🤣🤣👏🏼

[@joylessgaming]

Are you sure that cream wasn't butter? If that's the consistency of cream that Poms put on their scones then I understand why you'd put cream first. I live in sub-tropical Queensland, refrigerated jam first (because if you leave jam out it will grow mould), then cream, usually whipped or extra thickened cream. Fun fact: if you try and shake low fat cream to whip it, you're likely to make butter before you get whipped cream, happened to me once.

[@gigiroelant7299]

I love that the world is so connected. A continent away, and we enjoy the same pretentious jam.

[@Taracinablue]

This was so funny! Thanks for the laugh, guys. Also, after watching a blind youtuber (Molly Burke) for several years, I know that with a bit of warning, Ellen could've turned on screen-reading assistance on her phone, which tells you exactly what you're doing audibly.

[@GameWithTom1]

I can say with confidence that this is the most British episode of SotW ever

[@AdamusPrime24]

This is doubly funny after Ellen's Horizon playthrough... 'Just met Aloy, she so cool'...You did! And also fangirled over her to the max XD (TBF I would too...Aloy Roolz! \m/)

I see where Ellen and Luke stand on the cream/jam debate for scones (the correct side, I might add)

[@ArkaneStephanie]

That screwdriver/knife idea was actually amazing. Knives are useful for a lot more than you would think. I used one as a screwdriver once

[@Icam_here]

i think Ellen has more then earned her psvr2 rights, that was excellent work on the scones though looking at this footage i'm not sure if Luke is qualified to a certifiier also i love the edition of Producer Jon drawing the eyes on Ellen's mask

I cannot unseen those eyes... they were looking straight through my soul! Chilling, but fun. Jon did a great job there, and Ellen's doll/robot impersonation was great too (anyone seen the movie Megan??:)).

[@TessaOswin]

It weird that as a person who has migraine reasonably frequently so I spend a lot of time doing things basically blind and never realised the number of little quirts I’ve learnt. From finding the end of the teapot and the cup rim to resting you finger slightly in to the cup to measure the liquid depth. Also as a Cornish descendent you have made that scone upside down

[@chris_is_here_oh_no]

This was absolutely hilarious, well done!

[@felixc543]

this might be one of the best show of the weekend episodes yet

[@LeSqueed]

Ellen really needs to fire her butler if they can't even make her a tea or scone but brings out the individual ingredients. Butler Luke's slacking on the job.

[@sebastianwlodarczyk]

It's always great to hear Jon off-camera comments:) Also, "that's not the noise tea should make" :D

[@kendoyle]

I think this failed the ISO 3103 tea making standard I'm afraid. Ellen getting rightfully miffed when she found she had been sabotaged by the lack of ingredients

[@patience1926]

My god this is probably one of my most favourite show of the weekend already. 😂

[@thebreckify]

Show of the Weekend, Show of the Year more like. Interesting to see that different consistencies in jam and cream change make sense to change to order. In Australia, generally we have thicker jam and much looser cream, making putting cream on first a disaster.

[@michaelrounsville8314]

Ellen, "My hair looks fine?" I want to say that's a female question but as a long haired male, it would be a question I'd have if on camera blindfolded.
