Our Secret Santa Gift to MatPat! (The Great Gift Exchange)

As part of THE GREAT GIFT EXCHANGE, Ian and Shayne are transported to a magical “Wrapshop” to wrap a charitable gift for Game Theorist, MatPat. With help from The World’s Most Famous Gift Wrap Artist, Ian and Shayne create a pizza-inspired gift wrap (complete with hidden roasts) and take turns telling cringe-worthy holiday jokes!

Honestly only Rosanna, Smosh, Kurt, Alex, and MatPat are “big” youtubers, in that you should know who they are if you’ve spent a decent amount of time on youtube. The others depend on which section of youtube you watch. For example I watch some education stuff, so I know ASAPscience and Physics Girl. Everyone else is totally unknown to me.

[@tkbwanfor8098]
