PowerWash Simulator Pikachu Drawing Challenge! 🎨 | Oxtra Xmas Challenge Day 7

[@darkjackel8608]

There's something surreal and hilarious about Andy referring to Ellen and Luke as, "disadvantaged content creators." 😂

[@SevCaswell]

They are disadvantaged because they don't share presenting duties with him often enough, and thus lose out on his sublime art criticism on a regular basis...

[@bustinarant]

His art is dispassionate, and *he* is dispassionate.

[@GriffinWolf]

Andy works very hard to make sure they're disadvantaged. Remember when he wouldn't allow them on the Oxbox Chair??

[@gothmissstress]

@@SevCaswell for sure 🤣

[@drewpamon]

To be fair outside xbox basically gave them a channel and viewers. That seems pretty advantaged to me.

[@KaraDennison]

"If he gets it, he'll be delighted. But if he DOESN'T get it, he'll be angry and confused." Me, every day, about everything.

[@sgtraytango]

Good thing Angry Farrant didn't show to judge the Pikachus.

[@seang5815]

They make him sound like an old man or old pet. I imagine the slight age difference plays into this. 😅

[@VonBlade]

Not writing "Jane here, I need your vote" on the side was a bad misstep.

[@orsolyafekete7485]

It seems neither the Jane meta, the Shrek meta nor the Sonic meta invaded the Pikachu challenge ...yet.

[@GriffinWolf]

@@orsolyafekete7485 The pikachu meta is too powerful. It exists within and above all others.

[@carlsiouxfalls]

My favorite part of this challenge is just Andy's portrayal of an art critic.

[@bett431]

I want a whole movie about Andy the Art critic.

[@najibzulkafli5820]

Where he must stop the notorious Pikachu defiler from ruining the good name of Pikachu everywhere

[@beesforbreakfast]

It’s called Scrooged

[@drewpamon]

Can't believe that they got Andy to break from his intensive training regime where he's preparing to take on Jane in the outside xbox Christmas challenge sponsored by Duracell

[@abydosianchulac2]

[@Kagane1001]

Which are still full, still full

[@Co2Fog]

1:06 if you look at Luke's body language when Ellen started boasting you can tell he really wanted to go full sibling mode and and push her away from boasting on camera 🤣🤣

[@woodneel]

4:05 Luke engaging Santa in a hacking duel while the pompom on his tiny- I mean, "Ellen-sized" hat dangles wildly, reflecting his inner chaos... classic cinematography! * mwah *

[@jocosesonata]

*"Luke engaging Santa in a hacking duel"* _Only in Outside Xtra._

[@CelicaCrazed]

A gleeful Ellen hugging a dispassionate Andy is too wholesome.

[@CantankerousDave]

Andy walks in. “Not a bad Snorlax. [pause] Why are you two crying? That was a compliment.”

[@MrMixmaster25]

Luke and Ellen discussing about Santa’s intricacies of knowing when you’re awake is phenomenal. And, Santa taking over every modern software sounds like a great idea for a movie.

[@MadnessInLivingColor]

Congratulations Ellen! I’m happy this year was less controversial for Andy and his 100% objective art criticism.

[@albertgreene313]

Ellen’s victory is grand, but I do hope y’all take on ox in charades and take them down this season

[@GriffinWolf]

YES. Also I'll be back to give this a thumbs up later, right now it's at 69 and I just... can't be the one to change that.

[@carkmailey6085]

@@GriffinWolf oops. Eurogamer would be disappointed in me

[@gothmissstress]

I thought of charades didn't happen since 2018(...?) When do they usually happen

"Or by the whole cat?" Raises his eyebrows, moving headband forwards. Beautiful. A moment of masterpiece.

[@jekebe4858]

Ellen absolutely crushed Christmas this year! She even managed to win over the notorious(ly questionable) art critic Andy (NOT Warhol)! Shocked Pikachu! Thanks for another great year of laughs, guys. I think I can speak for all of us when I say... we really needed them. oof. lol

[@Sweenaldo85]

This certainly had a much more cordial ending than last years Animal Crossing Pikachu…incident. Thanks for another wonderful year Ellen and Luke and everyone involved! Here’s to more great moments in 2022!

[@Zoso14892]

"don't do it on the gnome, that's worse" and just like that, Ellen ruined Christmas AND had me roaring with laughter. Never change friends, never change.

[@HIPsteHeero]

These Christmas challenges are seriously the best. But the one I always most look forward to, is the Pikachu challenge and Andy's judging of them. Congratulations Ellen, you nailed it this year and you deserve it! Better luck next year Luke. Love you guys. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone!

[@johannvongenerico9487]

Luke is right, that wiggly nozzle is obscene and it's impossible to describe why it is so

[@beesforbreakfast]

I’ve worked these devices for a living before and can confirm, you feel like an absolute giga pervert screwing that thing on

[@griffinraynor8425]

To me the tight circles look like they're meant to stimulate a specific very small part of some people's anatomy.

[@beesforbreakfast]

Can be anyone’s anatomy if you know what you’re doing

[@neolexiousneolexian6079]

@@griffinraynor8425 I think the fact that the spray is moving on its own also makes it look alive/biological, like it's wee or something.

[@alexixeno4223]

I have finally seen Ellen win Pikachu drawing and she looked just so happy xD

[@psoma_brufd]

She has won it in the past iirc, I don't remember what year though so have fun!

@@psoma_brufd She won in the Red Dead Redemption year.

[@psoma_brufd]

[@orsolyafekete7485]

@@MatthewDoel32 Luke quite literally blew that one, so maybe she felt it wasn't really earned :P

[@najibzulkafli5820]

Andy’s wearing a yellow tshirt to show his appreciation for Pikachu; thus his judgment for the art! Glad Ellen finally won the pikachu challenge this year.

[@ImperfectionistGaming]

Ellen gains strength with every fear academy she does, gradually becoming invincible

[@beesforbreakfast]

God made her tiny so that humanity might have a fighting chance

[@megabsupreme]

Your wording put the weirdest image into my mind. Now I'm just picturing Ellen as Omni-Man beating the crap out of Earth.

[@mohsin90ish]

I haven't watched yet but I just want to say art critic Andy's decision is always completely correct

[@soft_butter4629]

At this point I’m amazed at the amount of pikachu drawings thru various games. I hope it never ends

[@megabsupreme]

Yeah, these games as art canvases are hilarious. I imagine one of these Xmases, the Pikachu drawing challenge will get so far from actual drawing, it'll be something like: "In HITMAN 3, murder several people and draw a Pikachu with the corpses of your fallen victims. Andy to critique as is tradition." Kinda wanna see that.

[@loeuvrededieu]

It's not Christmas without the Pikachu drawing challenge 🎄

[@coyoteartist]

Usually in the US, people write Wash me in on dirty windows. Congrats Ellen. Carrying the theme around like that was great.

[@FawnGesicht]

Love Andy's judging... best part ...

[@Borderlines]

"Instead of a Dark Lord, you shall have a Queen!" - Ellen, probably 🤗🤗🤗 Merry Christmas everyone!

[@megabsupreme]

That's our Ellen...beautiful and terrible. All will love her and despair.

[@frodobaggins7710]

I loved both drawings, but I do agree with Andy's judgment. Either way, I always love seeing this challenge, it sometimes feels like a bigger event than the main competition. Merry Xmas Oxtra!

[@sollysockspuppettheatre]

What I love about the OXtra Pikachu drawing challenge is that neither Luke nor Ellen looks at a Pikachu for the whole rest of the year to remind themselves what one looks like. Very sporting.

[@jamesbrierley2314]

Final score: Ellen 5, Luke 1, Birdo 1

[@gothmissstress]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Speilbilde]

Always love to hear Andy's Art opinions (and as always his judgement is Correct), one of my favorite Christmas tradition. Congratulations to Ellen, Queen of Christmas! ✨

[@andreroy6320]

I have to admit, I come for Andy's critic of the Pikachu art. The highlight of the Holidays stream

[@djashley2002]

It's nice to see that Luke continues to live by his maxim "If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing half-arsed". Once again, congratulations to Ellen for a well deserved win this year.

[@Marthe06]

Come for the traditional Pikachu art contest stay for Luke & Ellen making a power washer seem downright dirty 0:10:58.

[@GriffinWolf]

Anyone else think this was Luke's attempt at sabotaging Ellen, once more making her laugh until she was unable to hold the controller steady?

[@CodaBlair]

@@GriffinWolf he would have been sabotaging himself because he was going first

[@GriffinWolf]

@@CodaBlair But I mean... you saw the bike race yesterday, right??

[@robodogmech]

I just love how well of a duo you guys are, everything u say just flows from one to the other so easily. Such great friendship

[@boko06]

I have yet to watch the video, but I want to congratulate Luke on his point. So long as he doesn't dynamite Pickachu's face. Edit: I have been proven wrong and I agree with Andy's decision. Though Ellen's was a little busy. Happy Holidays!!

[@Icam_here]

i think they both did a great job on the pikachu's, send them in to the pokemon magazine. if there is only one challenge you want to win this is the one.

[@MinniMaster]

Lowkey wish Luke got it for no explicable reason purely because that decision would've been an absolute travesty

Gotta love Christmas Queen Ellen!

[@Scarletthedeadhand-deadwalker]

Man! What an upset! Not only did Ellen win by a landslide, but she won the Pikachu challenge! Amazing!

[@kennystoneman2584]

Me at 12:50: Well, good to know Ellen gets the moral and actual victories this year.

[@Arcadio89]

Feliz Navidad Oxtra! Thanks for these videos. They make my day and have become something I look forward to every year 😊 Hopefully 2022 will be better... PS: At 10:49 you can tell that Ellen doesn't forget. That kind of resentment only comes out in Christmas 😆

[@enderhx]

4:00 90s hacker movie skit is on point 😆

[@thewingedporpoise]

I think it perfectly sums up the ability to draw Pikachu to point out that Luke's first head probably was a better shape for Pikachu than his second

[@tomchaney6085]

Ellen's sounds of concentration while doing the eyes reminds me of a parrot of my acquaintance's very fun game of just saying 'hu!' back and forth.

[@CaitlinRC]

Yes. Yes. What we all knew Powerwash simulator would be used for this glorious glorious purpose.

[@jordanleighton6893]

12:47 “I’m gonna be ambitious….. I have regrets!” In trying to be great we failed to be good lmao

[@tomgymer7719]

Andy usually loves experimental pikachus, pushing the boundaries of art. But I guess this was just one step too far. Well done Ellen, and Merry Christmas to all!

[@I-sparkydash-I]

I would argue that the speach bubble brings Pikachu back to it's Manga roots. But in total I agree with Andy's judgement. Congrats to Ellen and to everyone at Oxboxtra I wish happy holidays

[@DrBrangar]

Ellens first bonus pikachu looks almost like surprised pikachu.

[@dallydaydream]

"Andy won't accept a small cheek." Based on experience, it seems like Andy won't accept any more cheek at all at this point :P

Please tell me I'm not the only one who bought this game on the strength of this video? No regrets, make things clean. So clean. So shiny.

[@halglass4751]

The night before y’all posted this, I had a nightmare that you just did something else for the last day and didn’t even bother with a pikachu drawing challenge this year and I was absolutely distraught when I woke up. Glad to see that it was NOT a strange prophetic dream and that one of my all time favourite Christmas traditions lived on this year. Merry Christmas y’all, and thanks for an amazing year of videos!!!

[@MIGHTYBOOSCH198]

I love Outside Xtra and Oxbox but above all else, Art Critic Andy is the best thing on the channels and it's not Christmas without a Pikachu appraisal by him

[@humanbeing5641]

[@drew9734]

I was glad Ellen had already won before going in as she usually gets absolutely robbed on Pikachu art, but omg smashed it. Excellent Christmas run, and Ellen's sweater is great. 💚💛

[@awmperry]

So glad to see Power Wash Simulator turn up here. One of those weird games that has no right to be as much fun as it is.

[@ApetureTestSubject]

Andy's random and chaotic opinions on Pikachu drawings are the best part of this recurring challenge.

[@mrherc85]

The true star of the "Draw-a-Pikachu" challenge is certainly Andy at this point. In fact, he's the one who should be getting the point, regardless of whose Pikachu is chosen. And, of course, Congratulations, Ellen, on winning this year's Christmas Challenge!

[@MrDegan2]

Genuinely surprised neither of them tried to turn the van in to a pikachu, face on the front, tale in the back, ect felt like a easy route

[@subman23]

This is my favorite challenge every year because I can never decide which part I'm looking forward to more: the journey that is the creation or the destination that is the judgment of Andy (especially the performance of Andy)

[@penguingonemad]

I was just thinking how wholesome this all is... And then the Prime Vista Turbo 1500 nozzle came out to play. The naughty list is being revised as we speak for what happened to that poor gnome.

[@jean-pierreprinsloo3388]

love how ellen is siting as upright as possible and luke slouches but still looks taller

[@gingergamer3270]

I love the nightmare before Christmas jumper

[@pretergeek]

I love the implication that a Pikachu driven van apparently ran over a Mudsdale sized Pikachu. And judging by the state of the front grill, that Pikachu was full of... pikapoo.

[@stephanied3970]

Redemption after that year that Ellen got super mad and livid that her Pikachu didn't win XD I will never forget that probably XD Go Ellen! Kicking butt and taking names!

[@99guizmo]

a classic of Xmas my favorite is still the red dead redemption ones with the dynamite stick for the head

[@corytucker6788]

Juke just described a Santa and Freddy Krueger hybrid. Sounds like a new horror classic, killing in real life and in your dreams...

[@gamehunter88]

Ah the piece de resistance of Christmas challenges. Not quite as funny as the gta races but every bit as chaotic; the only appropriate finale

[@SirRavix]

Its amazing how they can get Art Master Andy for these videos every year

[@mikemullen8174]

Having watched a lot of restoration videos I can confidently assert that a sandblasting simulator would sell like hotcakes.

[@kevinwelch6506]

Nice Work Ellen! Totally crushed it this year. Oxtra in general is amazing! Looking forward to 2022! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@cheapshotninja]

19:23 This sounds so much like Luke is filming a tragedy that just occurred. "Here is a car crash, you can see the crash. Over here, unfortunately, is the wreck. And over on this side... bodies.." It's much more somber a tone than he usually employs.

[@GriffinWolf]

Ellen has already won the xmas challenge. But this... this is about something MORE. This is about righting a wrong. This is about VENGEANCE. This is about... art. I was SO tense watching this, you both did an amazing job (considering you were squirting water on a van and apparently neither of you have ever seen a pikachu before). I think I knew Ellen would win it at about... 13:10. I was worried with the pikachu-driving part, whether you were anxiously adding more which would just take away... but it worked! And could just imagine the three-pika van driving out with Ellen cackling maniacally; "You wanted A pikachu? HERE ARE THE PIKACHUS!" Well done Andy on saving xmas!!

[@allicanseeispink]

Always a fave video every year. I love Art Critic Andy so much 😂

41 minutes? Wow cant wait to see how crazy this gets.

[@Arkholt2]

During the creation of a drawing of a cartoon animal, if ever there comes a point where you must ask yourself "Is this a Garf?" it's generally best practice to give up and start over. Not Luke, though. He powers through it. Or... power washes through it, I suppose.

[@Chris_Seccull]

Merry Christmas Ellen & Luke. Thanks for all the great videos this year. Stay safe and have a great Christmas and New Years.
