SciShow Quiz Show: When Science Meets Pop Culture

[@amimusic3]

My favorite thing about quiz show is seeing how Stefan will make the "I lost" pin sound exciting this time

[@Master_Therion]

When Science Meets Pop Culture: nerds laugh at the funny references. When Pop Culture Meets Science: nerds cry because of the inaccuracies.

[@asitas]

*cries in science*

[@Gwydda]

1:35 do I hear BattleBlock Theatre?

[@Master_Therion]

Zom Bee Nature LOL

[@courtneyf.7352]

Master Therion lol you only have 4 replies? *gasp*

[@squirtthecottonball]

Hank: "I've been anchored, I've been weighed down by the weight of..." Michael: "Fatherhood?"

[@IceMetalPunk]

#BlameOran

[@BadHabitMarco]

Speaking of weight ... Nick sorta doubled, didn't he? If not even Nick^2.

[@AmplifiedGrenade00]

He’s been..... Hanchored

[@whitenoise1119]

Sounds like a cards against humanity round

[@lexiridenour324]

Michael the forever bachelor... Yes, what else could it be...

[@2belowfreezing]

10:46 "...fictional vampires..." Ah yes, quite distinct from real vampires.

[@TheFifthsWord]

Hey, alright. I won! Thanks, Hank!

[@kristelstatz3059]

Reggie Smith but I mean if you’re not getting the I lost SciShow Quiz Show Pin, did you really win?

[@that1valentian769]

Thus one pin was made to rule them all. The “I TIED On Scishow Quiz Show pin.”But to find that pin, you must go on a terrible quest!

[@that1valentian769]

Reggie Smith a quest equal parts stupidity equal parts brilliance. One to test the wits of Complexly’s GREATEST HEROES!

[@iluvearth99]

+

[@Azzarinne]

I think that actually happened once, and nobody knew what to do. XD

[@MasterTMO]

A rare onscreen sighting of the elusive Jenkins!! This creature normally hides out directly behind the cameras, not revealing itself directly to researchers, but it's guiding hand can be felt in numerous ways regardless.

[@DeusExHomeboy]

Hank realized that flies have hearts. *And he continued wondering whether they have circulatory systems, lololo.*

[@ElynevanOpzeeland]

and funny enough, they have one ;-)| its just not a closed one like us, and a single one i thought.....

[@taramas5582]

Fireflies

[@caseyhamm8822]

hank’s “ohhh” at the mention of mitichlorians is the only correct response to the mention of midichlorians

[@ochaco31]

It's so nice to see Olivia on this segment :)

[@katiemoss7578]

I love this scishow quiz show so much. Never stop making these

[@DarthObscurity]

"Ohmigosh, those nerds named stuff after something memorable." I'll remember that the Tinman gene corresponds to genes that grow muscles in a fruit fly like it's heart. I will not remember that we discovered planet AG36-57b52A in galaxy XJ7-UH67JA8.

[@IceMetalPunk]

My cell bio professor at uni used to say that biologists are better at naming things than astronomers. Neil Degrasse Tyson always says that astronomers are better at naming things than other fields. Turns out, there are well-named and poorly-named objects in every field of science, and everyone is just prideful of their own profession XD

[@grammarnazi1469]

There are so many genes and proteins with names that are letters and numbers with no apparent meanings. Also it's hard to understand and remember a species' binomial name if you don't know Greek and Latin. The names of bones are also not memorable. But I definitely remember black hole, red giant, big bang...

[@mattparker7932]

I love Michael. He seems like he’d be a blast to hang out with.

[@Kenkasan]

I'm happy that appearently someone had the idea to iron that background.

[@DavidStill]

It’s probably worth noting that Dracula in the original novel only has an aversion to sunlight, not a fatal weakness. The classic unauthorized film adaptation, Nosferatu, is the first to show sunlight killing a vampire.

[@Rithene]

It wasn't an aversion, it was basically a coma. Sunlight isn't specifically brought into it, but vampires in the original Dracula entered a death-like state during the day. Probably the whole sunlight idea was latched on to because (spoilers) at the end of the book, they're basically racing the clock to kill Dracula before night, and so obviously they're keeping an eye on the sun.

[@starlightsall]

"Smaug inhibits a dwarf or it binds to a treasure. I love scientists." The way Hank said that I laughed so hard 😄 Agreed Hank!

[@devonfloyd3309]

Roman concrete is actually pretty easy to make.If you gather some limestone or even seashells, and then let it sit in the flames of a fire for 4-5 hours they'll begin turn red, but once they obtain the crimson color they're ready to be taken out and mixed with other ingredients.You then add water after the limestone has been heated, and you want to mix the two until you reach a thich pasty consistency.After you're done with that you'll need to add volcanic ash + pumice and stir all of it together until it's completely mixed.You'll then want to put your concerete in a mold and let it solidify.

[@jangambler9998]

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

[@Azzarinne]

I don't know how to feel about the fact that I was a little disappointed that she didn't say that. XD

[@charles4112]

There should be one where Hank is randomly on the wrong side.

[@wisdomcongeal2110]

'Everyone has a heart'-aranda is devastated 😂😂😂😂

[@AdrenalineStew]

I like the Michael/Olivia combo. It feels a lot more natural than the Scripted/Unscripted Michael.

[@liloddbit]

After listening to DH&J so much it's awesome to put a face and personality to Nick! He was awesome! Love to see more of him. Everyone you have on SciShow are great. Each "new" personality has been a real joy! Keep up the great work! ❤️

[@joshuaweasenforth7757]

Nerds are the best people in the world, when they live for the HOLY TRINITY! How very entertaining! I so laughed a good bit!

[@francoislacombe9071]

I heard that what really makes modern concrete deteriorate so fast is the rebar we use to reinforce it. Moisture and oxygen seep into the porous concrete, making the rebar rust and increase in volume, putting great pressure on the concrete and cracking it from inside.

[@SouravSengupta93]

08:52 'Second One' That was such a genuine and awesome reaction from everyone

[@Sheptsh]

I love these quiz shows, especially with the way Stefan excites the winning of the losing pin.

[@Locut0s]

That question about the cells dividing too quickly where Olivia ended with mentioning that it can cause some pretty “bad problems”... I’m just picturing some terrifying horror growing flesh blob of suffering like from Akira.

[@ENDERLICOT]

I sooo want to see a scishow quizz show where you need to take helium before answering question or else, you lose point or someting

[@Omni0404]

Stefan please keep using that voice! I'm dying.

[@IceMetalPunk]

Hank, the man with a biochemistry background, thinks flies don't have a circulatory system... Oh, Hank, you're so cute XD

[@jayworkman5792]

Hey! I actually had a commercial in the commercial break.

[@Wingedshadowwolf]

Jay Workman I almost did; the video stopped, tried to load an ad then resumed the video :\

[@musclehank2274]

I eat midichlorians for breakfast.

[@jamesbaxterfirst]

Muscle Hank 2 you are not the real muscle Hank! How dare you stand where he did!

[@musclehank2274]

Tony S I am strong and fast.

[@musclehank2274]

James Berend I am not sure if you are sarcastic or not but if you are not then I am asking you am I pretending to be Muscle Hank?

[@two-face1041]

Muscle Hank 2 NOT REAL

[@6900xx]

Muscle Hank 2 , where is Angry Old Hank Green?

[@az-cv1ql]

Stefan is so entertaining xD

[@sorenkair]

He's got a really infectious smile.

[@SaraAnneMiller]

Finally a SciShow Quiz Show in which I knew all the answers!!!

[@somaniradhika]

Hank. You'd loose less but you never really think out your final bet. There are at least 2-3 episodes you could have potentially won if you'd bet the correct amount!

[@KathyTrithardt]

Oh Nick, you looked great in that thumbnail.

[@anniejones3634]

I love scishow quiz show. It's just so much fun to watch Hank get so confused and everybody laugh at eachother.

[@jenniferpinkosz121]

Finally got them all right after many quizzes. I may have been on KZbin too much

[@Azzarinne]

No such thing

[@witerabid]

So, there's a Gene called Tribbles - but is there a Gene called Roddenberry?

[@octopus44445]

I miss the old format where they won or lost an arbitrary number of points

[@jorat8160]

Surprised they didn't mention the sonic the hedgehog gene

[@kaelaolsen9251]

TRIBBLES sounds like a kid's breakfast cereal. THANK YOU SCISHOW!!!

One of the most laugh out loud episodes yet. Well done. I really enjoyed this one.

[@mr.dr.genius2169]

13:07 You should make a real comercial. Something SciShow related like your merch or something science related.

[@CaptainPIanet]

Yeah I feel like they're wasting an opportunity there

[@Felixkeeg]

6:44 That's not an accurate description of what is happening. The light shining on the metal is partially absorbed, exciting the electrons into a higher energetic state. When these excited electrons "fall" back into their original energy state they release energy in the form of light. The wavelength of the emitted light depends on the difference of the energy states.

[@NewbInLife]

its like a ton of scishows combined in one free content

[@user-dx8nj7qj2g]

you mean the hank represented me scishow quiz show button, and one of the random staff/guests represented me scishow quiz show button. holyshit hank won one, get into the bunker quick its the end of the world

[@Dinuial]

I guessed Nanos because Smaug has a specific connection to dwarves where a Thesauros connection could just as easily been called Glaurung, Chrysophylax, Fafnir, etc.

[@jessejohnson4622]

I need that tie!!!!!

[@ameliewitton1859]

Please keep Olivia for sci show for as long as she wants to work there! I love her explanations and I'm glad all her haters (usually subliminal misogynists) are weeded out from the SciShow audience.

[@xStrayMongrelx]

It's always fun to mention Midichlorians or Jar Jar Binks in Map Chat on SWTOR, and see things unravel.

[@abdirahmanmohamed9468]

Lol dude with mad advertisements skills

[@jeroenjager8064]

So weird how some things we made in the past are lost to us now. I want my Valyrian sword. :(

[@robertcrafton7187]

"tick ovaries" ... this vid was just lazy afternoon, silly fun time until this phrase. Now I can't stop thinking about all of the things and concepts in this world that I have never used words to describe. It's humbling.

[@Furiends]

Modern concrete has lime removed because it dissolves in water overtime causing the concrete to crumble. Whereas when mixed with salt water this creates "hydrated lime" which is then incorporated in the mixture when it cures. The water is in there technically but it can't erode the cement over time as its chemically bonded.

[@Emetris]

funny thing is, a lot of bridges here starts to fall down because they were made with sea water. but that's because it's corroding the internal steel reinforcements

[@muhaiminzulkarnain5628]

1:28 Stefan is really channeling his inner Hank here

[@quatrevingtneuf]

y'alls gotta buy a lab coat that fits olivia better... how can a production as big as scishow not afford more lab coat sizes

[@terrenmaplethorpe4001]

Because that’s the only time she’s worn one for the show

[@TP-tc7vp]

Or it's a fashion choice

[@kf10147]

Stephen is bringing the Drama™ today

[@samanthachase8]

I love how low-budget the set is. 😂 my grandparents had a bunch of those lights they use as the buzzer. They were some infomercial thing or something.

[@funboxentertainment1745]

Wow I actually got an ad immediately after he said commercial break.

[@gewuerzgurkeev]

I love Stephan and how he presents...like.....everything

[@mangaluver1231]

Stephen never fails to make me laugh, I'm so glad he's a host.

[@taramas5582]

Why do people hate on Olivia so much? I don't see something wrong with her.

[@Dinuial]

"What's weird but somewhat plausible?" Fiction needs to be plausible, reality just needs to exist.

[@talenstout8324]

Pop culture can help in our scientific understanding, like animals talking on a different level then humans, but with the same language.

[@ClimateChanger]

Video on how human meat eating habits are affecting climate change would be super great to see on a channel like this!

[@mr.prometheus3320]

Hey, my etymology course was actually useful. Got the final question. Midi = middle ~= inside was my reasoning.

[@frostedjosieos3193]

Woah there was actually an ad placed at the commercial break point.

[@CaptainPIanet]

Hank you should have advertised your book during the commercial break!

[@paulfigueiredo3168]

Can someone get poor Olivia a lab coat that isn't three sizes to big...

[@LordLOC]

Yay, love seeing Nick on any of the shows. He's awesome on HFS. And now he's gonna be awesome on SSQS :D Hank's pretty cool to. And Mr. Suit Host Guy :P

[@haziemarinette6426]

God I love scientists too. Omg lol.

[@frostedjosieos3193]

The system finally evolved into actually having a system instead of just Aranda just arbitrarily assigning points.

[@firehank3195]

7:44-7:47 I wish my cells divided quicker becouse most of them are burned.

[@thekaxmax]

Lucas had midichlorians in from the start, they just weren't mentioned until later. He first mentioned them in 1977

[@LoraCoggins]

If I was the challenger for this video, I would have gotten almost every question right and win by a landslide. I don't know how, though. I guess this was just an easy video for me.

[@AlthenaLuna]

The pain on Nick's face when midichlorians came up... :-( Reel bad.

[@thelonelydirector]

Right?

[@lexiridenour324]

Michael, the slightly emo man: "Everyone has a heart."

[@martrazium4304]

3:02-3:10 I watched that in loop and ending up crying of laughter

[@taramas5582]

We want an elbow reveal by Michael!

[@MS4E]

oh wow... commercial break. there was an actual commercial!!

[@kujmous]

Nick rocks. I mean, follow his insta. He ROCKS!

[@justtrolin]

The show needs jingles, intros and out-tros. If that's not a word, it is now.

[@elizabethshaw734]

So far I have got both questions correct. Three for three! All of the mini round correct. Last question right. Can I have a job on scishow?

[@tenaciousdean6179]

Question for Nick- What's going on with his 'The Lonely Director' channel? He's not posted in over 2 years which makes me sad because his videos were always very thought provoking and well produced. It makes me sad he didn't continue after his VEDA thing.

[@thelonelydirector]

VEDA stole every bit of my desire to vlog. I was so exhausted with vlogging that I never wanted to do it again. :/

[@tenaciousdean6179]

thelonelydirector Ah damn that's sad, well it's good to see you on screen again anyway! There's another channel called The Closer Look that does similar videos anyway if you're interested in watching stuff like that at all

[@drewdurant3835]

I would really enjoy an episode about the Circulatory system of arthropods :-)

[@BenTajer89]

A lot of developmental biology in this one, make me happy because this is my line of work!

[@zombie-pt4uc]

Hey its Olivia 😄 God I love her.

[@lucaspilgrim8064]

1:27 stephan did a good hank green impession

[@tayobabs]

Love this channel

[@katiemoss7578]

We need a Blake vs Hank scishow quiz show. Please make this happen

[@IceMetalPunk]

It's happened before, I think at least twice.

[@DarioPesce]

"but only in the prequels... to be clear"

[@liddo1596]

You guys are in Missoula?!? You said something about live shows, are you doing meet and greets anywhere?

[@CaptainPIanet]

They were talking about their live shows of the Dear Hank and John podcast. They went on tour for John's Turtles All the Way Down book where they would occasionally do a live version of the podcast.

[@ulrich87]

Electrum glass is pretty cool, though. :P

[@masonmills1499]

Hank! Where did you get that shirt!? I need one.

[@PinkChucky15]

That mini round was awesome :-)

[@beth-rg8bm]

I've missed this!

[@MG2-_-]

Is he the guy because of whom my subscription feed was filled with 18million episodes of dear hank and john like yesterday 😒😒 HMMM

[@pottedplantofchaos543]

Trying really hard not to say "the powerhouse of the cell" at 16:18

[@iudexe3103]

I really like nick, more of him please 😀
