The ULTIMATE Gengar Quiz -Andy vs Pokémon Magazine | Show of the Weekend

[@richardsonrym]

The sheer power of Andy's grumpy dad energy when the pokemon magazine came out.

[@GrannyTerror]

I live for that perfectly cut off cursing 🤣

[@vict4451]

Ellen had the "oh shit" look when she saw it

[@jamesherb4384]

Andy being the oldest of the group really brings home his 'tired dad trying to wrangle in all his kids' energy

[@woodneel]

Mike is fun dad, Jane is internet mom, and Andy is grumpy dad. Andy is my spirit dad animal lol

[@Amaranthyne]

…why does Andy give off more energy than Luke and Mike…

[@Binary-]

"I don't believe you, I'm going to look at the analytics" made me laugh so hard

[@willyum3920]

meanwhile we all sit here patiently waiting with big, happy, expectant smiles for Andy to confirm the inevitable.

[@sheridanwilde]

Quick! Like, comment, subscribe to increase the algorithm, before Andy sees the analytics!

[@MikeMinMD]

Have never played Pokemon, will never play Pokemon, thoroughly enjoy the Pokemon Magazine episodes you folks do. :)

[@zensibleone2295]

Yeah, Pokémon Magazine is now part of OX lore and considered canon. That it's easy/lazy content just adds to its charm.

[@MeMyandI-x1d]

In the absence of Luke, I feel I need to remind everyone that the Pokemon magazine is published by Immediate Media. They are not paid to talk about them, it just seems fair :)

[@kamenanew9867]

It honestly felt weird to not hear that lol, thank you, other tall Ellen.

[@kamenanew9867]

[@GDsWatermeat]

The shadow ball question is even worse because Gengar is WEAK AGAINST SHADOW BALL. Ghost types are weak against Ghost attacks. I don't even know what that question was trying to ask.

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

exactly xD

[@marekpopioek7259]

They misunderstood the question and choose a wrong answer :P With two answers avalible Andy got this right :D

[@XescoPicas]

Gengar is also RESISTANT to grass type moves, thanks to his poison type. I think. I am actually not that sure. But yeah, that was a train wreck of a question xD

[@Giga-lemesh]

It’s a mess

[@and-a-bell]

A better way of asking the question would be which move would be strongest when used by Gengar.

[@Zenlore6499]

Andy’s outrage over the potential height of a Gengar was really fun! “Yeah, I reckon just under an Ellen.”

[@P3x310]

Approximately 0.9146 Ellens

[@Sheldon1985]

Very reminiscent of the Charizard incident.

[@asaturner4097]

"If it's wrong how come I gave myself a point?" Is the best comment

[@alexm1596]

2:53 Andy always does thre best bits lol "and now we're gonna find out if i can count myself among their ranks... of if i know... grongor"

[@thorild69]

Ellen gets points for coordinating her shirt, hair, couch, magazine, poster, and even the logo on the video page!

[@oldharlock7760]

Now I wonder if Luke has hidden more Pokemon magazines for emergencies. Like a squirrel for winter.🤔

[@sonyamiller4853]

I bet he does. 🤣

[@philippegauvin-vallee9371]

I would be surprised if he didn't.

[@Dominic9231]

Every time I see a pokemon magazine upload I love it. And now Andy's "incredulity" is a perfect addition

[@vanillanoxfleuret]

Watching Andy sass a quiz made for children is wonderful

[@doc_eyebrow]

We were promised Andy in a Gengar tiara, don't make me resort to Tumblr or DeviantArt... 😬

[@milese3620]

If he wears the Gengar as a tiara, it'll look like Gengar is possessing him. Peak Halloween 😌

[@tomgymer7719]

The way Ellen said "It's cute" was so authoritative

[@dplind87]

Haunter obviously evolves from Pierre Gastly. Andy of all people should know this!

[@neolexiousneolexian6079]

Damnatio memoriae. Andy obviously knew the "right" answer. But the God of Driving obviously would not stoop to speak of it.

[@christinemoore7321]

Andy’s reaction to the magazine was hilarious!

[@maxvel0city906]

I love how Ellen is using the same tactics that you would use on a child with Andy to try and get him involved.😂 "You can win this andy if you do the quiz!" Ellen's passive aggressive muttering of "it'll be fun" was perfect.😂

[@milese3620]

Ellen gave off strong "substitute teacher trying to entertain middle school kids" energy

[@alexharrison2743]

If Producer Jon is SOTWE's 'Tired-but-loving Dad indulging the kids' games on a Saturday morning', Andy is the mid-teens older brother who'll revisit his old interest in Pokémon to bond with his little sister, but maintains that performative teen scorn

[@Jasmine-wn9ek]

If they ever stop printing Pokémon magazines this show may be in real trouble 😂

[@SquirrelSeb84]

If OXtra stopped doing Show of the Weekend the Pokemon magazine would be in trouble.

[@Amaranthyne]

Nooo! I would be so sad! I love watching these.

[@timhutchinson8485]

I’ve seen a theory that gengar is the ghost of a clefable. (I’m guessing because they have a similar “who’s that Pokémon?” silhouette.)

[@alexandersmit4256]

I've also heard the theory that Clefable was originally supposed to be the mascot, so Gengar would have been a more poignant counterpoint. No idea if that's actually true.

[@happilyisolated]

I've heard this too! Man that was a long time ago

[@TheGrossDemon]

After watching a youtuber player pokemon snap I cant think of Gengar without seeing it come out of a dark portal from the wall, thanks to yall, that image has been combined with Gengar coming out of a portal from someones chest cuz they had Gengar lol

[@TheSlurpeeMan]

Going to watch this 10 times so Andy has to do another one of these.

[@katfromthekong414]

Andy being forced to grumpily complete a Pokemon magazine quiz .... and my weekend is complete! 😂👏🏼

[@kookoo47]

Thank you, Andy, for adding your wit to this MOST POPULAR series of the Oxtra channel

[@cearnicus]

I posit that it's not the magazines themselves that are popular, but the wonderful reactions to them. _Especially_ reactions such as a salty Andy.

[@akmal94ibrahim]

Honestly, we can watch them talking about a drying wall and it'll be fun.

[@cearnicus]

@@akmal94ibrahim If they give Mario-golf style commentary I am _so_ there.

[@ardenwarwick1087]

Wipe transition to Harry, 14, watching, a single tear in his eye. The trajectory of his life has been irrevocably altered. The countdown to the end of the world begins ticking.

[@seeleyboothfan2]

I like to imagine Ellen actually asking Andy to help out on SOTWE before telling him what he'd have to do just like in the cold open.

[@ChrisPreece]

These videos are the only thing I watch on KZbin. I can never overstate the popularity of the Pokemon magazine videos. All KZbinrs should make only Pokemon magazine content. Join us Andy, be one with the collective.

[@SparkysBarelyMusic]

Andy: So put simply, it's a magazine show. Luke: Magazine show, got it. Andy: Not literally... luke, not literally, oh god.

[@EiferBrennan]

This is absolutely popular, Andy. I love these videos! Case and point, it's 5am at the time of writing, and I'm watching anyway.

[@MsCunningLinguistic]

"He's a child, so, my height" I felt this in my bones 😭

[@christoffereinan1449]

Why do I love this? Pokémon magazine is the greatest content strategy

[@sebastianwlodarczyk]

Even when Luke is not around, no one can escape the Pokémon Magazine quiz! :D

[@TMAC_burninator]

"Just under an Ellen" - I want everything measured in Ellens now 😆

[@wamblingwimblingwumblingwo3392]

One Ellen. A post-metric measurement of height. Example: "Godzilla is almost 80 Ellens tall." One Ellening. A standardised unit of getting tricked during a multiple-choice question or quiz etc, where the answer was not among the options given. Example: "Dave got two Ellenings during the pub quiz." One Ellen's Fear Academy. An improved measure of heart rate, often used in medical settings. Example: "Dave is at two Ellen's Fear Academies. He needs immediate hospitalisation."

[@AngryFloatingCow]

When Americans run out of appliances and objects, they’ll probably eventually start using people

[@TheHutchy01]

Dave had a bad night.

[@s.s.3982]

Andy treats Ellen and Luke like the puppy he told his kids he did not want and would not be taking care of but when he thinks no one's looking he's giggling playing tug of war with it and I think that's beautiful

[@MSte21]

Love how Andy justified every one of his answers during the marking.

[@jamesherb4384]

if it was wrong, then why did he mark it right? checkmate quiz.

[@JashinsMagpie]

Eevee is just gazing adoringly up at Andy at 2:58, and those are full on "maybe if I'm cute enough I'll get a treat" dog eyes

[@jamesanthony8438]

Love Andy giving himself points for all of his answers, no matter how wrong. Can't even do a quiz without cheating. =)

[@Lordpooz09]

Andy getting "angry" & throwing things needs to happen more... lol

[@lowlowcheeses]

Was eating during the intro and I nearly choked at Andy's reaction. Brilliant, absolutely loved this video!

[@dallydaydream]

Yesss, another video to add to the Pokemon Magazine playlist >:) The comic timing of the cold open had me in cascades of giggles. Even when Luke is away he finds a way to continue the content strategy of reading Pokemon Magazine (published by Immediate Media, not getting paid to say that, it just seems fair).

[@zacharykapp5628]

Learned so much about Gengar. Great educational content I've come to expect from this channel.

[@BogeyTheBear]

0:56 I feel your pain. I have a hat size of 10-5/8. Found that out when I came across this nice leather Arthur Morganesque-hat in a store but was disappointed that the only one left was in XL size, thinking it'd bee too loose-- then I found it was a perfect fit.

[@SlyRatchet4]

🤣Ellen face knowing what was going, Andy's reaction to the magazine, and the cut off to play the Show of the Weekend jingle. Perfection. 🤣

[@Calliibrations]

I almost cheered out loud seeing it was another Pokemon magazine episode, always the most chaotic

[@bearcat1868]

Andy was close, in that Gastly and Haunter weigh practically nothing, but I guess Gengar's legs are made of lead or something. The weight thing has stuck in my head for ages because it baffles me.

[@stone5against1]

Ellen looking for her pen for ages before saying it out loud.. Andy, who was too busy ranting to notice she was searching for something: "oh I got it here!"

[@pantone448c8]

100% a popular content strat! I love these videos 😂

[@recino2]

13:37 Ellen softly apologizing to the Eevee poster is so dang cute.

[@eblizzard6821]

Does anyone else find perfectly-cut-curses absolutely gut-busting every time it happens ever?

[@joenesvick7043]

Just leaving the Playlist running is worth it for Ellen's laughter alone

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

The best thing about Gengar's absurd weight is that both of its pre-evolutions have a weight of exactly 0.2 pounds or 100 grams, which means that Gengar is only about 200 times heavier. Edit: That was a lie. It's actually 400 times heavier. My bad. Error in conversion.

[@gruggerduggerhoose]

Evolved into a chonky boi did that Dave Gengar lol

[@feebleweevil]

Clefable weighs about 40kg... hang on, does Haunter EAT a Clefable to become Gengar?!

[@General_Nothing]

Definitely don’t want to be standing underneath Haunter when it evolves.

[@annana6098]

I think they just pull the height and weight numbers out of a hat.

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

@@feebleweevil I like that idea better than what it probably is. It's probably just that Gengar is supposed to be the shadow of a Clefable brought to life by the gasses possessed by Haunter and Gastly, hence the extra weight. I guess the remaining 300 g are there to account for his Invisalign smile or something, idk xD

[@alexsimpkin5620]

This content is what the people demand

[@ANonymous-fq5ky]

Andy got a perfect score? He must really love these quizzes, you should have hime do one every week! 😋

[@lizabee484]

Ellen’s for sure taking home the Eevee poster to put on her wall and I, for one, fully support her.

[@aubriewalters821]

I love Andy's insistence on including Witch Pikachu

[@Borderlines]

Lmao I did not expect Ellen to boop Eevee's nose 🤣

[@claratalbot7613]

I missed 2. I was wrong on the height & weight question. Also that first question was definitely worded oddly since ghost types are weak against ghost types & Gengar being a ghost/ poison type would have been weak to shadow ball & resistant to the grass type move

[@milese3620]

Love how Andy goes from grumpy old man to belligerent child screaming for stickers in one video. The many faces of Andy Farrant

[@Dead-EyeJuncan]

Just got back from the shop where I saw this on the shelf and my first thought was 'I wonder if that will be in this week's Show of the Weekend?'!

[@jamieschannel2709]

The little "final countdown" song they did was worth the watch on its own.

[@Alsebra]

The "Final Countdown" breakdown came out of nowhere and resonated with me at a deep level...if I had to say, I'd guess it's my favorite song ever (in fact, at one point, I thought of using it as the entrance theme for wrestling, long before wrestling games afforded you massive creation options).

[@VOWelAHC]

Andy’s secret silent amazement at the Halloween pikachu centrefold

[@ravenrook]

"What was Gengar when Gengar was alive" hit me on an existential level 😵‍💫

[@SquintyGears]

Ghost is super effective against itself. 🤣 Probably the most scuffed quiz yet

[@FictionWriter95]

Slight criticism: because of an omission, I have no idea as to who publishes Pokémon Magazine, whether or not you're being paid to say that, and whether or not it seems fair.

[@RainWelsh]

I for one have greatly enjoyed learning about Dave Gengar, a slightly overweight fairy-murdering ghost, who’s just under Ellen-height and evolved from a Witch Pikachu.

[@EuanFoulis]

Anyone noticed that Andy’s professional presenter voice went away for a bit when he was confused and his accent went proper London 😂😂

[@sambridgett]

That spontaneous rewriting of the lyrics of The Final Countdown is the best thing I've witnessed all week.

[@wrongspotted]

Andy often seems to humour the others while internally rolling his eyes and I love it!

[@MinniMaster]

uM ackchyually, the Dusk Ball is used for catching Pokémon in dark places, not just Ghost and Dark types 🤓

[@VampiricFox37]

I was looking thru comments to see if anyone else was gonna point this out.

[@melissacarlock6164]

yaay! I'm one of those that love this. your reactions is some of the best. thank you this makes my week

[@shhhvcnear]

[@problempal5395]

[@SirStanleytheStumbler]

Pokemon largest franchise worldwide by sales Andy: "this can't possibly be a popular content strand" That first question is a wash, Shadow ball is super effective against gengar and leafblade is resisted by it.

[@aznmavboi]

What was Gengar when Gengar was alive? Thanks to Google, according to the Pokédex entry for Pokémon Moon, "It apparently wishes for a traveling companion. Since it was once human itself, it tries to create one by taking the lives of other humans." Yes, apparently Gengar is just some kind of murder ghost.

[@ana5mk]

Yay, more Pokémon magazine stuff... 😁

[@macewindu5195]

1:30 probably a clefairy, just look at it
