Best moment of the year has to be Luke piercing the set with Merilwen’s bow, the joint reaction of Luke’s horror, Ellen’s giggling shock, and Jon just yelling ‘YES’, iconic.

[@anthonypaparo]

I was SHOCKED this wasn't in here!

[@audoldends6799]

What episode is this????

[@maries1993]

@@anthonypaparo Don’t want to increase the chances of Oxbox finding out 😂

[@anthonypaparo]

@@audoldends6799 This is their Horizon sequel SOTW

[@MetalheadAndy25]

Luke didn't wanna remind the rest of them about it, I'd have put it as my #1 just for Jon's YES! 😂

[@Donnerjkks]

Have not watched it yet, but my number 1 pick is Ellen telling Luke about the true height of Charizard.

[@lukas8670]

I'm not surprised Luke was confused. The TV show is so inaccurate with the sizes of all the pokemon, and to be honest, the games aren't much better. you can ride Charizard in Let's Go, I'm not sure how many other games too.

[@bustinarant]

@@lukas8670 You could ride the Pidgeon one! Too bad Charizard is only waist height..

[@chaosslayer8049]

The Best Bit Has To Be Ellen Explaining That She’d Seen Avatar And Luke Responding With “Wait, No. Why Is This My Problem?” Or Andy’s Most Recent Guest Appearance And His Responses To Ellen Pulling Out A Pokémon Magazine😂😂😂

[@oldharlock7760]

Luke getting Greninja and Ellen Eevee is the Oxtra equivalent of you getting socks for christmas while your laughing sibling rubs their brand new ps5 in your face!🤣

[@willyum3920]

"was I tempted to choose this as the one that will become my spouse" is my highlight of this year for sure. I love how wholesome this channel is but every meal needs a little sauce and this made me properly laugh out loud.

[@CaitlinRC]

It's been a hell of a time, that's for sure. We shall forever remember the year 2022, where the studio wall suffered a fatal injury in the incident that shall not be named

[@travisspaulding5835]

It’s gotta be “Games are back / rat-physics” for me. Though I may be partial to Luke and Andy moments

[@micahnewby7964]

"Games are back" wasn't a Show of the Weekend moment, though, was it?

[@williamjones5334]

@@micahnewby7964 Yeah, it was in a "new games out this month" episode. I think it was in the Presh Mems compilation.

[@micahnewby7964]

@@williamjones5334 _I_ know that. However, I was talking to op, who said their Show of the Weekend Best Bit of 2022 has "gotta be games / rat physics for me" Yes technically I phrased it as a question, but I wasn't _really_ asking, you know? I just thought sarcastic emojis or telling them they're on the wrong video would've been too mean

[@joeldfisher]

the Gollum debate challenge was my favourite bit of the year, laughed so much and it's a great idea

[@zanite8650]

I forgot how Gollum-like Ellen's expressions were during that sequence.

[@AwesomeGuy-rf4em]

Which video was that? I’d like to watch the entire video.

[@joeldfisher]

@AwesomeGuy0725 surprisingly it's called Who's the best gollum? Enjoy

[@randyotte9599]

Yeah between "one note Westaway" and Ellen's snorting laughter, it was pretty great.

[@catsandsound]

A definite highlight of the year. Professional quality

[@lukas8670]

One of my favourite bits was in the 'How Fast is Sonic' video, where Luke comes in and stands next to Ellen and his head is completely out of frame so he walks off to find a box for her to stand on.

[@katfromthekong414]

"Neeeum, the new global sonic identity for F1" is never going to stop making me laugh 🤣

[@niloofarrafatpanah2]

why does the intro feel like a memorial, why am i crying 😢

[@zombiedoe3404]

genuinely my first thought was "oh bloody hell did someone die?"

[@LikeSuicide]

I honestly thought they were announcing the end of SOTWE.

[@InertiaCreeps]

LoL! That “Best of 2023” in the thumbnail really did a number on my head!!!

[@thatlycantomboy]

literally 2 min in and I’m absolutely cackling these two are insane and I love them

[@Inevix]

‘Hello I’m here for the war’ is my favourite quote to use when doing roll call for wow raids

[@nickmilke1592]

I loved how these moments were 90 % Ellen laughing hysterically.

[@Mr_TheHan]

It's a sign of how many great moments there were for SotWe this year that they didn't even show any of the Pokemon magazine episodes. Looking forward to more normal adult things in 2023!

[@matthewpallenik1407]

Many thanks need to go to Immediate Media for this year of SOTW.

[@kingpinpasta2934]

The AT-AT bit never gets old

[@noddler217]

The Empire's secret conga strategy has been discovered! How will the Rebel Alliance use this key battle tactic against them? Find out next year on Show of the Weekend!

[@xtifr]

I still can't believe you guys did Soulsborne Smash-or-Pass! Twice! I nearly died laughing, both times! There were plenty of great moments throughout the year, but those two were perfection, start to finish!

[@jaxjaxattaxx]

In what was an extremely trying year for so many of us, thank you for being one of the best, reliable sources of laughter on KZbin and making things easier ❤

[@karichhoy]

Omg I am so glad to see the Gollum challenge. That was one of my fave eps. And I totally forgot Luke getting Greninja. Lol I really enjoyed the small trip down memory lane. On a side note, I really thought the ep where Ellen and Luke read a Choose Your Own Adventure book was hilarious. A shame it didn't make the cut, but still such great memories appeared here. I can't wait to see what other nonsense... I mean content ya'll have for us next year. Happy New Years all! 💕💕

[@Qwentar]

I just love how Ellen giggles and squees with delight.

[@AlexanderOsias]

the Ellenings are a high point

[@Mulbert]

These were amazing (especially the weirdly wet sounding hand lol), my fave moment was undoubtedly the Choose Your Own Adventure episode though, please continue it at some point! You can't leave the wizard/warrior sexual tension unresolved

[@penguingonemad]

Show of the Weekend is the ultimate comfort watch for me, grateful for each and every presh mem! 💜

[@zathrusii6456]

So this years lesson, like many before, is that I will laugh at basically anything Luke and Ellen say. Also: "So would you Facetime a restaurant?" ".............no............." Correct. 👍 😃

[@samwill7259]

Someone made a woops on the title card But it's fine, I know that 2023 really WILL be great!

[@waldowallace9102]

Show of the Weekend is one of my favorite shows! Hummm, really liked the Choose Your Adventure. :)

[@noddler217]

Luke: 'that's how I ate so much sugar' The Various -ists Studying Like For Science: 'Interesting...' *makes notes on their clipboards*

[@frodobaggins7710]

"Kneel before Toad" might be my favourite sentence uttered by Oxtra this year

[@gruggerduggerhoose]

I think we can all agree that 2022 was certainly a year… Also best newcomer character is definitely the rubber hand grabbery-doo.

[@Borderlines]

Im proud to say I've watched every single one of these moments throughout the year

[@Jonathon_Hennessey]

There were many funny moments in Show of the Weekend in 2022 and I'm looking forward to what you have in store for 2023.

[@blake2534]

1:03 -The Gollum she told you not to worry about 🤣 -Luke's Face.

[@madalice5134]

The SOTW version of Smash or Pass is so hilarious and wholesome at the the same time. Those are some of my favorite episodes. Thanks for all the great content this year Team OX! You guys made it easier to get through 2022 and I hope you all have a great New Year's and that 2023 will be a good year.

[@MrMBinder]

This is just so good. Thanks for all the laughs 😂 Title: 15 best bits (with only 10 bits in the video) Thumbnail: Best of 2023

[@notoriousbmc1]

Cannot believe that "One Note Westaway" hasn't stuck...yet!

[@liquidoxygenbar7671]

So Ellen and anyone who loves cats needs to watch the mo-cap they did for Stray, it's adorable!

[@Amaranthyne]

It’s criminal to show the gollum bit and not include Ellen discussing the Star wars prequels. “If I wanted to hear about politics I’d watch the NEEeewss!”

[@VonBlade]

I loved all these moments from 2022. How tall Charizard was. The arrow in the studio wall. I'm just sad that this video is 2023 and thus we'll get to watch them all over again, instead of the new hotness :) I love you Oxboxtra, never change. This reply published by Immediate Media, not getting paid to say it, it just seems fair.

[@stormy7745]

Aw, presh mems, part 2! Thanks so much for all the fabulous content, gang, and looking forward to 2023

[@xenogil180]

Great recap! Can't wait for next year's Show of the Weekend!

[@naughtycicero1460]

Absolutely love the plastic hand stick. Here’s hoping it makes many appearances in the new year

[@WizzyMcWizzyton]

It’s been a great year, Oxtra Team! Keep it up!

[@TheMediaJack]

The thumbnail says "Best of 2023". If that is the case, you should announce a "spoiler warning" :P

[@dexterpearson8689]

So many moments; can't decide which one's the absolute best. Definitely looking forward to more SOTW in 2023. They've totally made my weekends when I'm able to watch or catch up. Thank you so much. Happy New Year! Still subscribed.

[@MetalheadAndy25]

Cheers guys, it's been a trying year for a lot of people and your videos really help when it's been a particularly crap day. You rock 🤘

[@KERRZz-]

Love the content you're all incredible group of friends and super fun to watch

[@NotKyleChicago]

"Moonbeam & Meatgrinders" sounds like an interesting pub.

[@itsdeonlol]

Happy New Year Luke & Ellen! ❤

[@moleshaman3040]

It’s always a pleasure to watch Luke and Ellen ! I love the Pokémon magazine episodes and hope there’ll be more this year ! Nice Gollum impression too !

[@Rmat7]

Thank you for all the laughs ❤️

[@kattnap92]

I love when Luke and Ellen make crafts and play with Legos. Their hands on nonsense is the best.

[@poetdrowned]

Genuinely, thank you for the presh mems and a happy new year!! 🎉 Lorenzo music

[@NuthouseKid88]

So, Luke is Dial Out Boy, and Ellen is Panic! at the Phone Call. They are such a Pair, and More.

[@barbararowley6077]

Thanks for a brilliant 2022! As a Gen Xer who’s had to train Gen Z colleagues I completely sympathise with Luke on the phone thing. I almost think how to make and answer phone calls should be an elective at schools now. It’s such an important skill for both work and life in general.

[@KOU-ZAI]

17:37 is just as priceless. It's like Superman failing to go airborne, lol. Also, nice thumbnail. XDD

[@Jaziem]

Next to the thumbnail flub, I'm loving the video.

[@MrUkraider]

It's was great to have Show of the Weekend back, nothing says Weekend like a dose of Ellen, Luke (and guests) and Producer's Jon and James to hype it up. Thanks for the memories of 2022 and here's to way more of that and then some in 2023, cheers 🍻.

[@kcollier2192]

Another great year for everyone I hope. Happy 2023- whoo!

[@birthday_Jake]

I can't tell if the thumbnail saying "Best of 2023" is a typo or a scathingly nihilistic prediction for next year.

[@bobaata]

These two are the best! Ellen is the cutest!!

[@jbzhummerh2gamer]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[@MillicentOak]

I missed that Tony the Tiger clip first time round, but it reminds me of when I accidentally threw my housemate's dog's toy on the roof of the garage, and how devastated she was! Obviously we had to get it down for her, but it wasn't easy as the snow on the roof was deep enough that you couldn't see where it was (there was a major cold snap in 2010)!

[@Thekhajjah]

We love snorting Ellen. Happy new year. Sorry one note Westaway

[@micahnewby7964]

Proposal: separate video of best Pokemon Magazine moments

[@merepseu]

I tracked down that pokémon quiz and got Mew! With barely hours to spare, I have acheived something worth a damn in 2022.

[@DocWilco]

I think any viewer of this channel would be like "yep, that's on brand for Ellen" 😅 (And much love for said Brand, because we wouldn't have stuff like the Stray videos, which are just pure love ❤️❤️❤️❤️)

[@AngelBeatYunara]

Lovely preshmems!

[@JV-rl3kl]

Outside Xtra is like the Chris Stapleton song Tennessee Whiskey. So smoooo...cough...cough...throat is on fire...cough...who drinks this stuff anyways? .....smoooooth. Hiccup!

[@Brasc]

I have a mental image of Luke getting into danger, emitting a pheromone, and then a horde of other Lukes come pouring out of nearby basements - with "Don't Go Down There" signs, of course - and go sprinting to his aid.

[@misatokatsu3916]

Call me cheap but I just loved all the Pokémon Magazine episodes 😂

[@sneaksyranger]

Luke Teatime: "Thank you sir! I'm always happy to receive correction of my work!"

[@docette2015]

*snork* Some of these I caught, some of these I missed, but they were all very funny. What IS so amusing about the AT-AT lying on its belly? XD

[@abydosianchulac2]

In my day, they used a thumbnail that read 2023 instead of 2022.

[@TransGuyShane]

I remember taking that quiz and also getting greninja-_- P.s video title says 15 best bits but video is 10 ♡

[@blueguard61]

OutsideXtra is so far ahead of its time, the thumbnail already tells us the presh mems for 2023.

[@Scruffi]

The very preshest of mems. Happy New Year everyone, and here’s to a great 2023 >clink!

[@michael_mcgowan]

I love that Luke treats getting Greninja as a punishment and assumes everyone else will as well, despite Greninja being one of the most popular Pokémon.

[@russrh]

Im so jealous of Lukes phone calling superpower

[@Patch-ly2oc]

I like all off them but for me the best bits are every video you grate people do

[@cthulhufhtagn2483]

As much as I love The Hand, it's a right shame that Talkin' Tom Jetski didn't make it in.

[@subhuman8945]

Shoutout to Luke & Ellen in the video mines. Best yt "update video" of 2022.

[@drizztdourden666]

In the thumbnail it says best of 2023…damn this new year went by fast!happy 2024 then 😂🤣😂

[@EvilOverlord1662]

Never noticed Luke's a fellow southpaw until now!

[@nemoniemand9264]

Please keep the year as is

[@eleanorsmith7152]

But what of Talking Tom Jet-ski, Luke’s canonical favourite!

[@woodneel]

Show the Year-end ftw

[@poop8701]

Hashtag presh mems!😍😍😍 I love you Ellen, I love you Luke! And all outside Xbox as well🥰🥰🥰

[@ApesWithEgos]

Time Travelers that decided the most impactful use of their future knowledge is entertaining us with games-related content.

[@AaronChenYirun]

@Oxtra the thumbnail says 2023...are y'all not telling us something? XD Edit: It's 2022 now! Talk about an Ellen-ing...

[@swandizzle185]

Ellen's Smeagol was easier to understand, but Luke's Gollum was more accurate in terms of vocal quality.

[@notoriousgoblin83]

3:00 Smeagol vs Gollum

[@louisebanks6085]

Just saying, the intro makes it feel like a memorial video. If that was the intention ... it worked

[@missitheachievementhuntres560]

Ellen’s drawing looked a bit more like an Ooblet ^^

[@SohiTheTinyKittenHuman]

Luke you have to watch the Pokémon XYZ seasons. Greninja is an awesome Pokémon. He has a super magical connection with Ash. Besides Pikachu ash hasn’t gotten so intertwined in their souls with any other Pokémon.

[@FictionWriter95]

Kinda disappointed that they left out the time that Talking Tom came to guide Luke to the afterlife on his jetski.

[@gamepassghost]

Further proof Luke is Jane’s right hand man! His resolution steeled by New Years! I must’ve started a new comment with each new memorable bit 😂 Have an amazing new year folks. ❤

[@leia575solo9]

I took the Pokemon quiz, apparently I'm Gardevoir?

[@Rayne_Check]

Lesson leaned: Don't mess about with Ellen or Luke when they have a bow and arrow. You will survive, only if they let you.

[@xarph]

Aoife Wilson's Nameplate guest host of the year

[@Becktastic01]

All that was last year? And more? Still feels like 2022 only just started.
