Hi

[@slewone4905]

Luke, Popping his eyes? Jane has a spoon for that.

[@kcollier2192]

Sleep deprivation is an amazing thing- get some sleep youngsters...

[@Sableagle]

Is there a Notification Ammonite now?

[@pinkcloudsnightlightbell]

Where have you hidden notification squid, guys.... We deserve to know😣

[@misterthegeoff9767]

"You have a signature look" say Ellen, while wearing her blue highlighted hair in a ponytail and a skirt over leggings.

[@pinkcloudsnightlightbell]

Her hair is DEFFZ cool esp when it's bluer (teal is the shit no other colours can comPETE) but tbh them shorts overtop some leggings with some rad boots definitely give a much more solid vibe to the point I was inspired by them thru last year!

[@insainraven9875]

Would you want her to cut off her hair?

[@misterthegeoff9767]

@@insainraven9875 I didn't say it was a bad signature look. They both look fantastic.

[@cyanimation1605]

Hey, shush. Sometimes Ellen wears shorts over leggings.

[@insainraven9875]

Guys guys let’s all calm down they both wear clothing and that’s a huge signature look

[@Amaritudine]

Something about Temtem just seems to be providing Luke with no end of mirth. Or to put it into song, with credit (and apologies) to Gilbert and Sullivan: "I am the very model of a modern Normal Adult Man, Your Temtems and your Pokemon, I've gotta catch them if I can, So heed my words in battle when I formulate a cunning plan, Enlisting tiny monsters to expand my mighty punning clan. I am the very model of a Half-Orc who is bardical, I've inspiration magical, whimsical and lyrical, From sticks I build my model ships, a frigate and a coracle, With copper sheets upon the keel to fend off any barnacle. With finest arts and crafts I make a Yoshi who has gone astray, A Yarny who Unravels or a Yoshette who is here to stay, A Normal Adult Man upon the purple sofa every day, I am the very model of that modern chap Luke Westaway!"

"I didn't know I could go back to the buffet!" That's literally how a buffet works, Luke.

luke has noob tier buffet skills and it shows.

[@brocksisson7128]

Feel like there was a missed chance to randomly give Luke dysentery while he was in the bunk bed as revenge.

[@lauramarschmallow2922]

Feel there was a misding opportunity to give him violent diarrhea when he without indication ate all the antibiotics and thereby destroing his microbiome.

[@Heartshapedbox81]

That was my first thought too and I thought for sure she would but the constantly cracking knee more than made up for it 😂

Luke: Do you want to see a picture of my Ammonite Luke not waiting for an answer goes for the phone

[@pretergeek]

I actually want to know where he bought that one, beautiful. I had a few amonites and a trilobite when I was a kid , somehow I lost it the first or second time I moved.

"We're very tired" How did Ellen and Luke know what my daily theme was?

"There's no time for sleeves!!" Funny, I always say the same thing about pants, but I just can't seem to get my boss to understand the many benefits of working pantsless

[@futoijosei]

Depends on the job? :)

[@Billybo10K]

Luke: "We do sound really bitter now." Ellen: "BUT WE ARE." I, honest to god, just full on cry laughed from that line. Bloody brilliant xD

[@flemmingpedersen567]

"Boudoir Mardi Gras"... well I, for one, look forward to seeing the magic artbook with massive censorbars next week ^^

Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of Monty Mole It is the music of a poisoned rodent hiding in a hole! When the rolling of the dice Echoes in arbitrary ways It shatters friendships; that's the price when Oxboxtra plays!

I have a feeling the current title „SOTWe 141 22nd feb stitch“ is the name of the file 😂

[@mar_speedman]

Well, as they'd said. They're *really* tired rofl

[@isupergirl]

I'll admit, when Luke said his Amonite, I was picturing a Pokemon.

[@malcolmholliday9710]

I can't wait for Digimon Survive to come out and have a whole episode of Ellen talking about Digimon!!!!!

[@CinnaScone]

Luke: "If you're watching at home, just don't think about kneecaps." Me: *immediately can think of nothing but kneecaps* Thanks, Luke.

[@tardsneverdie]

Ellen now has a surprise competitor for the most adorable laugh in producer Jon

[@dunadan1995]

As an owner of a heavy Russian accent, I can certainly say that Ellen's impression of it wasn't as cartoonish as she thought.

[@przemekgeorge1405]

To be honest, I hoped that one of the deaths would be caused by certain ancient feline specimen...

[@raichyx9451]

Przemek George he finally accounted for the ancient leopard...by living in a place where there are no ancient leopards to account for(?)

This is roughly the third time Luke's lost his kneecaps whilst working on Oxtra, I'm surprised there's any left for people to take. He really KNEEDS to avoid situations where it keeps happening

[@gruggerduggerhoose]

Come on man that was KNEEdlessly punny

[@Sableagle]

The TEMptation to make a bad pun was too much for you? Well, you started a pun thread, so give yourself a sarcastic pat(ella) on the back.

[@Lobotomeus]

You missed a golden opportunity to say "I don't have Tem for sleeves, mom and dad!"

[@Icam_here]

so is "it's time to reveal our temcards" going to replace "you can run with us" on the channel now

[@BogeyTheBear]

The three things I would keep when I respawn: 1) The stuffed white dog which I got when I was three and still have to this day. His name-- is White Doggy. Three-year olds aren't terribly clever, you know. 2) My gold pocket watch. I got it sixteen years ago and I'm in the process of making it into an antique heirloom the hard way, one day at a time. I don't want to interrupt its progress. 3) I guess maybe one of my longswords. Probably the new one (most expensive) or maybe the first one (lightest of the bunch). After all, something brought about my need to respawn in the first place.

[@apathyguy8338]

1) My dog 2) Phone 3) My AR-15 after all if I had to respawn I've got killing to do.

[@skipskylark9525]

this is the funniest episode yet, the chaotic energy of you both being exhausted is so relatable

[@fearfulsuggestion]

I kept expecting Luke to fail to account for the ancient leopard.

How dare you cut the audio on the Digimon talk Luke. now I will have to learn lip reading to hear Ellen's interesting Digimon chat

[@emmabyrne9274]

Luke, while escaping the city: "it's been almost an hour since we lost our dear friend Reynolds" Reynolds, in the distance: "stop telling people I'm dead!" Luke: "Sometimes I can still hear his voice"

[@Retw86]

The advantage to Luke taking his ammonite with him is that when his switch and phone inevitably go flat he can stare at his ammonite like Spongebob and Patrick do with the magic conch

[@timothyoswald8618]

Luke: their soft bits are lost to time... Ellen: like everyone! A+ banter. Love it!

[@MetabolicSpore0]

0:19 Ellens face is the correct reaction to Bud Fenzler (I assume that's how it's spelled... I don't care if it's not. )

"The theme of this show is -- we are very tired." Yeah, that absolutely checks out after that intro. 😏

[@tichodroma]

21:49 Just for the record, this is the point where, starting with a fifteen seconds long imitation of a train, Ellen and Luke once more let the show derail into complete chaos. You've done worse before while not tired!

This is a good way to start a day. Laughter, and coffee. Thanks Look and Ellen.

[@bett431]

[@Artificer1911]

Because I am an adult, I can't help but imagine the 3 item "secret hiding spot" as a rather uncomfortable location on the body. I am impressed by Luke's capacity.

[@nickjeffery536]

In my head-canon, "Reynolds" was an orphan, because Luke seems to have it in for orphans...

*Luke, as I heard him:* Oh! I tell you what, my favorite Amma Knight. Yeah, I've got a real good Amma Knight. I was thinking about it the other day. I was holding it and looking at it and thinking 'God this is a good Amma Knight.' You want to see a picture? *Me:* ??? Is this a Pokemon or statue or figurine or...? *Luke:* ~shows picture~ *Me:* Oh... oh! _Ammonite._ Fossil. Right, got ya.

5:00 you don't always get three items. You have a container with a 2 by 2 slot, if you purchase the cheapest version. With that container you could pick up 4 one by one items, 1 2 by 2 item and so on. I think you get it. There are several containers who all differ in sice.

You stoke up the ancient, rust covered, hundred year old steam train which are notorious for exploding even in premium condition. In your exuberance you shovel in a ridiculous amount of coal and are zipping past your base when the entire engine disintegrates in a horrific steam cloud sending chunks of shrapnel in every direction for miles. Your entire team is shredded into McNugget sized chunks. Amazingly, the antibiotics somehow protect you from this fate. Instead you fall face forward and hear a crack in your right leg. The enemy has you and you'll never leave the city.
