[@Sajere12]

Just gonna gloss over the fact that Pat and Chelsea each individually submitted "Bort" as a real human name with no collaboration, huh.

[@Jubei66666]

pechebeche it's a simpsons reference

[@cactuscolony]

Bort Sampson

[@joeysnowy4110]

just like bort!

[@arieavart]

take it to the bank, boys. this one's just like bort.

[@simonemorrison9983]

my son is also called bort

[@SpenserPrichard]

Almost a full calendar year later and I'm still absolutely crushed that nobody noticed Pat and Chelsea's "Bort" mindmeld

[@tuckerphillips8274]

Everytime they get an answer about flying I get really confused because I forget that planes exist. I was really upset about the fact that Dave Matthews could fly for a couple seconds

[@fishmasmouse]

Oh thank god, I thought I was the only one.

[@ParadoxGavel]

I swear, Brian has a sixth sense when it comes to choosing the right answers. It's uncanny.

[@Jleot]

"I'll shower you in piss and rice we dont have to go to Spain for that" Simone, you're killing me I love it

[@roadkillrabiez]

the way brian's all like "oh wow how about that! hmm that's interesting!!" every time he magically gets the answer right is EXTREMELY suspicious

[@georgeparkins777]

So is anyone weirded out by the fact that Pat is supposedly EIGHT years older than BDG? Like, they seem like the same age.

[@r3dstoner3quired27]

Six years older, iirc? but yeah, it's legitimately wild djgkshdjghds

[@2clam4jam67]

My closest work buddy is 14 years older than me

[@r3dstoner3quired27]

Sara Winberg i don’t think its weird that they’re friends, it’s just their remarkable similarity in attitude (and somewhat in personality) despite the age gap? its not really a big thing just an interesting note

[@singingsunflower9000]

@@r3dstoner3quired27 , i dont know how old they are, but i know its not like they are 12 and 18, is it wild? legitimately?

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW TWO PEOPLE SAID BORT

[@MrSeagallo]

My answer is also named Bort

[@MichaelStephenFreitag]

We were one "H" away from a Monster Factory crossover.

[@TheJamesM]

I guess they're both Simpsons fans.

Bort

Al🅱️in and the chi🅱️munks

[@pepperypeppers2755]

Alvin and the Chivmunks?

[@novameowww]

jkncanklcmamplcmamopfrnvpap11116 and the chipmunks

[@paulunga]

The Swedish name was actually in protest of the strict Swedish naming laws. There's literally a list of female and male names that are allowed.

[@rachelrachel9152]

Yes as there is in many countries, i think ppl should be more appreciative of the freedom we have for names in america

[@petehakkinen3020]

@@rachelrachel9152 I'm sure a lot of the kids hate that freedom.

[@rachelrachel9152]

@@petehakkinen3020 a lot of people hate their 'boring' 'traditional' names too. You have plenty of power as an individual to be referred to however you like if you dislike your name. Also, problems with pronunciation and spelling in America happen to everyone no matter your name. It happens to me plenty.

[@starmanfriday7309]

Why did y’all stop making these?!?!?!?!?!?!

[@flap.d.jack247]

Cause Brian left

[@rachelrachel9152]

Realistically i think overboard was sort of the successor, a more focused series which allowed them to expand to other games

[@nightingem]

Please......let us buy the shirts.....I would die for the Im in hell shirt....

[@nightingem]

emilie protip: being an apologist for a proven sexual predator isn’t a great hill to die on.

[@MisterAppleEsq]

+Gem of the Night Your bio is good, more bios should compliment people.

[@nightingem]

Mister Apple I try my best!! 💖💖

[@nightingem]

emilie I’m very passionate about this as well. And I really, really don’t feel like expending emotional energy on people defending a person who I know to be a sexual predator who’s taken advantage of power dynamics, age gaps, and more right now. Perhaps at some point in the future. I do understand it’s difficult to find out a person you deeply admired was a predator. But continuing to defend them is not the answer.

[@TheJamesM]

Having an extremely normal one down here in the KZbin comments.

[@neuroflare]

And thus ended weekly Jackbox with Polygon.

[@chloeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

:,(

[@inkstainsonmyjacket4553]

So is the like... the last one? Are we not getting any more of this... spectacular spectacular game? If I had real people money... I'd pay you to play this more because it's still my fave series because ya'll are so sweet and funny, with just a teensy sardonic streak to keep things spi-scayyyy

[@chloeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

its two years later and i still need them to come back to this i know they did one more for overboard but i need these to be regular again

[@guyyouseewhenyoudie]

Simone being both the most prolific and most ignored artist is the funniest fucking thing to me

[@cuirass-rook]

Emetophobia CW for 12:57-13:28

[@Mooseplatoon]

Brian sneaking in those art history references. I see you.

[@sunshineflicker6120]

Simone's laugh gives me life

[@marypresslike]

every time they forget clay another year is taken from my life

[@alyssaz4278]

If anyone was curious, I believe the swedish couple who named their son gibberish were protesting the system where they had to have their baby name approved

[@rhymeswithpicard8202]

Albin hits differently post-A Æ X-12

[@rachelrachel9152]

Idk i am always quite thankful for the freedom of naming America has, having a government tell you what you can name your kid seems so authoritarian

[@brineshrimp1128]

im loving brian consistently mislabeled as patrick in these captions ok editing this has the caption writer never seen a polygon episode

[@tylerpetty5458]

I remember the Albin story. It was some kind of protest against Sweden's naming laws.

[@omgitsemilyward749]

Would buy the I’m In Hell shirt 1000%

[@PatManDX]

Good news, you can literally do that from the Jackbox site (if Polygon were to post that link the game generates)

[@foolbackwards]

its okay clayton is the fan favorite he doesnt have to be pats favorite

[@jhubeJELLO]

inb4 defamation lawsuit

[@Kokorisu]

I want to swim in Simone's laughter until I drown.

[@2clam4jam67]

As a Swede the idea of someone naming their child Go Away (bort) is really funny

[@VaderforprezAZ09]

"vomit free since '93" -abby

[@islanjo]

this video has resulted in me having a very weird search history as i fact check these answers.

[@MisterAppleEsq]

Best kind of search history.

[@mvwinf]

14:34 pat doing a british accent is sending me

[@liamlonergan9909]

whoever said "my son is also named bort" should have gotten more recognition

[@lukeparsons6305]

Has anyone else noticed that Brian and Pat always pick each other's answers?

[@indigodraws365]

I feel like an under appreciated moment is Brian referencing Magritte’s pipe painting at 17:34 when the ‘this is not funny’ shirt pops up

[@bennyfactor]

Please please sell us the THIS IS MY DOG and IM IN HELL shirts. This episode was so good!!!!

[@riot_sama3785]

8:20 no naming a child that in Sweden was no legal, which is why the parents named the child that, in protest of the law.

[@kitster900]

Brian correctly choosing "DIED OF FRIGHT" is the funniest thing I've ever seen

[@aster-disaster]

Just like Bort!

[@RatKingShriggy]

#JusticeForClayton

[@Vegas242]

They complained about how they never elaborate on the answers but I'm pretty sure the announcer gives a short explanation or joke after most correct answers, they just don't turn on the announcer's beautiful voice

[@antiname4091]

The names in the subtitles are unfortunately all mixed up and wrong and I'm having trouble telling everyone apart :(

[@UnclePePawGarbageCollectors]

More, please? This is the last running series on Polygon. Plz. More.

[@axel8817]

Simone is an actual ray of sunshine

[@skittay]

it has been more than a year since the fall of the jackbox videos

[@Adrian_1114]

Now over 3 years :(

[@matthewprince-black6660]

why are the patrick and brian subtitles switched? i've watched enough unraveled to know what brian's voice sounds like and that is not it.

[@abstractkitten6756]

Rip jackbox streams, forever in our hearts

[@robinsea]

The baby being buried at the bottom of the coffin could be to do with people believing at the time that an unbaptised baby would go to hell. Maybe they thought that burying it at the feet of a bishop would prevent that?

[@nataliedavis7920]

I know about the baby in the coffin thing! A lot of times, families couldn't afford to have proper burials for their young children or infants, so they would just stick them into the casket of an adult who was about the be buried and go, yeah sure, good enough

[@taakotuesdays]

Can we get more of these maybe? They’re super fun and as a non-gamer fan of your channel it’s something that I know about. Plus they’re super fun to watch!

[@ihavenocluehowtochangethen2987]

I actually knew the Albin one im way too proud of that

[@Pep95]

Will there no longer be jackbox videos?

[@miasma1718]

these videos are so thoroughly enjoyable and abby is a total gem

[@PsychicRadroach]

Jackbox.org! "It's dot com!"

[@SleepWhenImDeadNGO]

When the "Tomorrow Never" t-shirt came up I laughed so hard my cat ran out of the room.

[@sleuthed]

please make these again ive rewatched them all too many times

[@AgentDougieJones]

Polygon's urophilia positivity is refreshing

[@raysravens52]

More Jackbox please :(

[@user-qe8uw4rx4g]

I am so scared, I got a video recommendation of a dude doing standup and talking about the ‘Albin’ Swedish thing and then I go to the jackbox playlist to watch something and the prompt in this video is exactly that

[@zombifying]

JUSTICE FOR CLAYTON

[@MadameButterfli]

Bring back jack box ;(

[@rachelrachel9152]

I love how long pat like, medium laughed at the green monster That is My Wife tshirt

[@animanya394]

Starting from 14:30 captions are inaccurate: lines belong to different people.

[@JHaley-hy4xd]

Bring this back for the quarantine!!!!

[@jamkataclysms]

honestly one of my faves !! (around 4:35 the speaker in the subtitle is incorrect; and while "multiple speakers" is a good alternative for all of that cross talk i think some context for the joke Brian is making is important!)

[@jamkataclysms]

There are a few other incorrect speaker titles BUT i do love the [Ghost Voice] 😂😂

[@cooldude992]

whoever captioned this often confuses Clay with Brian and Brian with Pat

[@somecunninglinguist]

The only time I've ever blacked out was when I drank cider and whiskey, I woke up barfing in the tub.... I feel you Abby

[@Kokorisu]

I'm Spanish and I never knew of the fire ants thing. Then again I come from a place where people hang from the necks of geese for fun.

[@mallgoths1787]

i hate that i knew piss and rice would be an option for 11:39

[@marmask8880]

i know this is an old vid but im from Oman and the first prompt caught me by surprise

[@samc182]

Was this the last Jackbox?

[@ThyGeep]

Abby are you ok? Are you okay Ab-by?

[@momoandmiz]

some great simone squaks this video

[@guavagudetama6355]

Y’all need to make more jackbox videos

[@norge0209]

No Jackbox video this week?

[@nightingem]

I haven’t even watched the episode yet but I know it’s going to be shitposting galore with an Abby+Polygon crossover.

[@EchoLimaIndiaAlphaS]

Please do more of these whenever possible! Thanks!

[@Amazatastic]

Brian keeps answering things the same way I would 😂

[@patrickhodgson292]

5:47 butter pat. Haha

[@mademoiselleregret]

Hell yes more Jackbox!!!!!!

[@angrybidoof847]

If I remember correctly, they believe the baby was a miscarriage, and was buried with the bishop in the hopes it you make it to heaven, as due to being a miscarriage, it wouldn't of been baptized

[@sharksuperiority9736]

“Is a gun *not* a baby?”

[@gabrielstjernberg]

Albin is actually a really common name in sweden!

[@julialetsgo4117]

SIMONE'S LAUGH BRINGS ME SO MUCH JOY

[@TheGummyBearOverLord]

I know Catholicism used to and in some places still does say that any baby who was not baptized could not be buried in a proper religious ceremony so sometimes the babies would be snuck into the caskets of recently dead people so that they could receive burial rites.

[@blakefeary4369]

I miss these, I want more Jackbox, the new one is coming out soon, bring it back

[@user-le3oe2sf5v]

16:05 couples costume idea

[@angrybidoof847]

Having not googled it, I would assume it was so the baby could get into heaven.

[@angrybidoof847]

I don't remember writing this

[@maliciousregret]

Please start a T-shirt company. The world needs this art.

[@doc8186]

5:47 a pat of butter

[@seanfields2576]

"This is not a real pipe" lmao

[@shawnaeatscats]

"WAS IT LUCKY?" IM DEAD

[@Amazatastic]

8:15 I actually knew this one 😂

[@UnorthodoxSoundwave.]

So... "This is not funny" and "I'm in hell" went against each other twice... "I'm in hell" won first... Then "This is not funny" did. Science, I need help.

[@bronzeowl9]

9:30 Pat and Chelsea both fucking said Bort

[@CRita]

this closed captioning thinks pat is brian, brian is clayton, clayton is pat, and simone is abby

[@zorys9947]

dk why but i find the cc put so many bri's line with pat name in front it so funny

[@CaveMonster]

Can we get some more Week in Revue?

[@elinyancat]

im spanish and i was so confused by the fireants but knowing that we keep some weird pagan traditions i believe it

[@moth.monster]
