Polygon plays JACKBOX | "Tasteful Pregnant Sonic Imagery" feat. Griffin and Justin McElroy

They may be on permanent vacation, but we still managed to get the McElroys in for another round of the ol' Jackbox. We're playing Quiplash 2 from Jackbox Party Pack 4, always a good, or perhaps a terrible time.

“The plural of Smurf is Smurves, right?” Like the name of the show isn’t “The Smurfs” Bold move.

[@taakotuesdays]

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS

[@CresCoJeffToo]

'The Smurfs' has a typo, clearly. It's smurves in Merriam-Webster.

[@IsaacMayerCreativeWorks]

The species is “smurf,” but the family name is “Smurf.” Just like e house where Mr. Wolf’s family lives is the Wolfs

[@williamnownes7173]

Justin and Griffin are like the kids who go back to their highschool after graduating to hang out.

"You know I love me some gendered slurs" was an underrated line that was hilarious

[@skeledaddy]

of course "make some boy-broth!" was griffin

[@milescooper2124]

KumagoroNugget that answer had some strong Griffin energy to it

[@husk97176]

a LITTLE bit sad they missed out on the obvious bear joke, "make america gay again"

[@Mahkia]

Yes please, thank you!

[@cottontaelle5863]

hi tinysport :0 i like you

[@mossmeow]

i was thinking about this too omg

[@oweneastwood2223]

"Two" is one of the all time best answers and it was robbed

[@kara2125]

Owen Eastwood favorite part of that answer was justin crying 'two???? two?????????'

[@barnyardhouse]

Everyone saying “No!” while Jenna says “Yeah!” is always my favorite thing

[@nightingem]

Holy heck, this is an all star lineup. I’m glad Justin and Griffin still sometimes are around for Jackbox, and love their interaction with our Polygon friends! Especially these four, who are honestly my favs at Jackbox. Pat is...a godly jokester.

[@idiopathologic]

Man me too, this is my absolutely dream team.

[@cadwelltanner7616]

i see you on every single video with the mcelroy brothers, who are you and why are you following them

[@stenysful]

"why do you like the mcelroys so much", asks taako from tv

[@apinkgoat]

It’s so perfect at the end when Justin and Griffin write “BYE IDIOT” and “Polygon sucks”

[@RatKingShriggy]

it wouldn't be a Classic Polygon Video without any mention of piss

[@Gottrahmen]

Every video Pat has at least one joke that absolutely bangs

[@plushs]

i spent like 30 minutes looking for this episode because justin saying "TWO????" was so stuck in my brain 2:18 there it is

[@goonsdirge3464]

thank you so much i also loved that, and ive been thinking about it for so long without knowing where it came from,,!

[@navvmalav]

wait this is an all star line up

[@LimeHunter7]

[@akedojune]

This one is definitely my favorite Jackbox. With the mcelboys, Brian and pat and the welcoming non-presence of Nick

[@oliverv8919]

I heard justins laugh at the beginning and i knew i was gonna love this episode

[@presidenttheo565]

I sincerely want an in-depth analysis of Simone's prejudice against Smurfs.

[@---fi2ml]

justin youre the winner in my heart

[@MrCrookedApathy]

This video is over a year old, but if Papa Smurf spends his retirement painting is that his blue period?

[@guyspy21]

huh

[@CountSnaqula]

Excellent.

[@polyp2910]

Two McElroys and BDG. This is too much power for one quiplash game.

[@jameswilcox511]

I thought I paused this as I stepped away from my computer but the video kept going and when I popped my earbud back in I heard, "STOP COMPLAINING AND GIVE ME THE EGGPLANT" from Simone and... that's pretty perfect.

[@annak9096]

it's bad that I discovered these videos a day after breaking my rib because I can't NOT watch them and I can't NOT laugh but it hurtssss

[@evandavis1424]

For the next episode you should put polls in the information tab or what ever you call it for each question of quiplash, so we can vote for our favorite quip and play along with you guys.

[@quinnramsay7244]

I love how the Mcelbois have always been in the top 3 in the rankings, but their first round "back" they were at the bottom. A little rusty I suppose, but we love them all the same

[@TheKeyblader133]

The beauty of the Shadow Pee Guns image is that now I just can't stop thinking about Snap Cube's Sonic Fandubs.

[@MidoriJane12]

i also hate the smurfs. they have an air of death. the first time i ever pondered the meaning of life was after reading a smurfs comic as a child.

I love that we have mathematical proof the Pat is a good and funny lad

I had to take a break at 14:00 to breathe again.

[@axelbordelon5380]

I laughed so hard, I felt a pain in my forehead. Hope whatever I broke wasn't important!

[@adamwise1111]

I have a terrible cough right now and it gets worse every time I laugh so I think this video is going to kill me. Polygon will be paying for my funeral.

every few months i come back and watch these, i really would like it if it came back somehow, im sure the mcelroys would come visit to do it

[@chloeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

yessss absolutely agree. they did it once for overboard but i really really want them to do it more i miss this unbridled chaos

Not gonna lie. A kind of hostile video, but equally hilarious

Folks, has the same energy as in this essay I will

[@syaoran5476]

Glad to see they’re playing Civil Doodle again, Simone’s favorite game!

[@InvincibleRodent]

I need a soundbite of Simone going "stop explaining and give me the eggplant" so I can go down to my local bar and blare it at attractive men who try to initiate a conversation with me

[@Souzu21]

I just want to say that I FEEL Simone on the Smurfs thing.

[@beybladegf]

I love the saying the joke louder and getting all the credit energy that Griffin was pulling here

[@UDontTakeMeSeriously]

All of the best people. Amazing.

[@abi_rose]

can i get a "yeah baby"

What’s a sign your parents sheltered you as a child? You have scurvy despite eating nothing but limes

[@AmandaBee]

me, clicking on this video: please have my boys please have my boys please ha-- *MY BOYS!!!*

[@fnord3125]

I continue to not understand their house rule about not looking at the comic. I feel like it usually results in things that are more nonsensical than actually funny... But otherwise, I love seeing more of the Polygang playing Jackbox! My only question is: why do they never do these games on a live stream so that fans can join the audience? That seems like that would be a fun thing for everyone... especially in a game of Guesspionage.

[@CountSnaqula]

Because they do a bit of editing in between rounds while everyone types their questions/answers up.

[@CountSnaqula]

brian I still don't understand the "not looking at the comic" thing either, it was funny like 1 time out of the ten or so times they've done it.

[@fnord3125]

no, i'm aware of THAT, and it makes for a nice compact video that's basically 100% hilarious, but they do a lot of streaming videos too, and with the possibility for audience participation, Jackbox seems like an obvious fit for some of those. there's no rule that they HAVE to do Jackbox videos the same way forever. but anyway, i love what they're giving us already, so i'm not complaining. i just wouldn't mind seeing them mix it up in the future.

[@kara2125]

best possible quiplash lineup

5:55 that weak "no"
