Tom VS Thomas | Codenames - Stephen & Friends

[@imperialtommy3556]

My favorite part was Chaz said "you can't climb the Himalayas without legs" and Stephen quietly said "ooh, good point" and voted for it. Like, Chaz was ON THE OTHER TEAM and Stephen still listened to him. And nobody noticed.

[@Caprizant]

The fact that there was any level of hesitation about clicking "mug" for tea brought me so much joy and entertainment. That and Hayley's electric kangaroo joke which is certainly going to be stuck in my head all day

[@Kianthia]

This is literally all I ever wanted out of codenames. Rip Tommy.

[@MagicalEmma6]

7:00 "Is there anything better than fire?" - Alex 2022 Also, Stephen, who thought table was a more appropriate guess for "leg" than foot was, has no right to be blown away by the fact that India was one of the top guesses for "tea".

[@ThunderHam]

Well that’s not that unreasonable. Stephen was going the phrase route, you know as in “Table Leg”.

[@guguig9746]

At this point, the clues have become so meta that is always a treat to see the group doubt for a lot of things

Memorable Moment/Tom Foolery: 9:19-11:51 The Tea Debate (Especially 10:43) "Fine, Dan, (if) you unilaterally tap things, I'm gonna-...*oh no*"

[@itscoolstaghorn]

Hayley was absolutely on fire this episode, good lord

[@headphonics3052]

"You can put anything in a mug!" true, I have often made instant porridge in a mug, and I have seen plenty of folks make cupcakes in mugs

[@GentlemanJolt]

This whole episode could be a memorable moment

[@doan2300]

I've only just thought to wonder how the spies accidentally contact a dog. and yeah this video was hilarious.

[@fl4re163]

I love how much Alex was hating on Dan but Dan just kept clicking the right stuff.

[@Zykestryke]

The video was already a little shorter than usual, so when the game started almost 5 minutes in I knew someone was going to play either very well or very badly.

[@lordwindshark5591]

As someone named after baby Dyl Pickles from Rugrats I feel the struggle Thomas was talking about lol

[@SappyBecca]

Wow that was a wild ride Spoilers- Title says the war was between the Toms, but it was really between Alex and Dan over tea 😂

[@gamerlover20o2]

This definitely needs a rematch Tom got messed up by Alex XD

03:22 - 04:02 "If I had a nickel for every time the phrase "Sorry, Phil" and the KZbinr Tom Fawkes were in the same video, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice. Right?" [If you must know, see 'Tom Fawkes | Minecraft w/ TRG & Friends (3.9.2021)']

[@CardinalBirbRose]

I definitely thought India and cup were a tricky choice for tea. I think "tea" shouldn't have been the hint imo

[@Lucifer8881]

I mean, that happens sometimes in codenames. You say the thing clue and then when your operatives suggest something that just slipped your mind...whoops. Very funny for us viewers though

[@TheLetsGamer7]

The beginning just made me remember, "I'M SORRY, PHIL"

[@c0deface426]

Alex I loved this video, and in particular I liked hearing my country being mentioned and discussed by you guys.

[@danialmoseley]

So tea originally comes from China, but due to some "disagreements" they wouldn't sell any plants to the British to grow their own, so they sent in a spy to steal some and started growing it on territory they "owned" that matched the Chinese climate, which was northern India (those who run tea stalls for workers in India are called chaiiwalas and the way they make it is unique to India)

[@Missingnoleader]

Glad to see that a good third of the video is just discussion.

Haley completely roasted everyone in the first 5 minutes. I agree with Stephen, this is the best episode.

"Just tell us your opinions on anything." I think peach lemonade is severely underrated. Everyone usually goes for strawberry or just regular-ass lemonade, but no one ever goes for the fun flavors.

I would have chosen Mug before India, but I would have chosen India before Honey, which tells you how much I know about Tea.

Really funny that you guys would upload another episode of Codenames today, since I've been learning and playing it for the first time with a few friends this weekend. Really fun irl too 😅 Also, I do completely agree with Alex. Tea wasn't a particularly safe word to play when India is the bad word. I guess Tom was banking on the red team going for honey and mug though 🤔

[@DominoPivot]

I am always entertained, but always flabbergasted by the choices you guys make when playing this game.

[@TailsFanatic]

Well that was certainly unexpected but hilarious to hit the black word. Lol.

[@KingCyrus20]

To be fair, I would've gone for India over mug for tea. I associate mugs more with coffee and hot chocolate, whereas tea goes in teacups.

[@pkejesusfreak]

To be fair, Tom Fawkes did throw a round of Among Us because someone called him Tommy

Hayley: “Tell us your opinion about anything!” God, finally someone who asked! I’m so frustrated with Chromatic Games (formerly Trendy Entertainment) for constantly going back to their first game. It was a massive success, by their standards, and I love it dearly, the game is even still getting updated! I love that too! The problem is their third game is a REMAKE of their first game. Which, as I said, IS STILL GETTING UPDATES! And what’s worse, the remake is missing content! It has some extra QOL features, but for people who’ve been playing the first one since it came out, that QOL doesnt matter much. Especially when the game you’re “remaking” is still getting updates! The second game was a bit of a failure, they changed it multiple times and I’m assuming it didn’t make much money. And you wanna know something else? Their “second” game, it’s actually their third game! Because after 1, they REMADE NUMBER ONE! Actually I don’t mind that one so much. It was meant to be a kind of “game of the year” version, with some extra stuff so it wasn’t just a rip, but they sold it as a standalone game on steam and I think they just couldn’t connect the servers, so that game died and even got removed from steam. But the people who bought it got a free copy of the first game plus all it’s DLC so that was cool. So, that makes 4 games this dev team has released. 1, 1 (kinda) GOTY, 2, and 1 remake. I love the work they did on the first release of 1, and I paid for early access to 2, but their obsession with remaking 1 (reminder, still receiving updates and just got new content) is killing me! I just want them to shoot for game 3 already. If I wanted to get 1 again I would just gift it to a friend on steam. Also, the games I’m talking about are 1: Dungeon Defenders 1 (GOTY kinda): Dungeon Defenders: Eternity 2: Dungeon Defenders 2 1 Remake: Dungeon Defenders: Awakened So thanks Hayley for asking about my opinion on “anything”.

[@FastTquick]

I honestly thought India was a good guess for tea. After all, Darjeeling tea.

[@thetelegraphoperator3198]

There is emotional trauma with "Tommy."

[@rollrick1005]

Why yes Alex, I did like the video and gave it a thumbs up. I was pretty hesitant on Mug for Tea as well. I would've also probably picked Mug first over India on tea, but I could honestly see either one. Hindsight 20/20 Mug looks much better. My general guesses were similar to the groups: Leg (Thomas): Foot, Calf, Table Electric (Tom): Light, Bolt, Fire Porch (Thomas): Deck (I did not have a 2nd pick/didn't think about swing) Tea (Tom): Honey, Mug/India

[@nebboxman1533]

My opinion is that I enjoyed this game immensely.

Honestly I understand going for "India" over "mug", you never hear about a "mug of tea" but India *is* one of the countries that has historically produced tea.

While my name wasn't Andrew (It was Drew), I know the pain of the nickname popculture. Didn't help I was born around the time of Toy Story and had a friend who was named Andrew. "It's Andrew and Drew".

the east india tea company is really historically significant, so I absolutely get choosing india there.

[@PelicanOfDeath]

India is a perfectly reasonable guess for tea!

[@theyounglinksociety6258]

[@motherfaerie]

i thought mug and honey at first but then agreed that india was a good choice and would've chosen that in the end :0D

[@Alfonso162008]

Alex, don't worry, as soon as I saw "Tea" my first thought was "India". Idk why everyone else was so outraged by that, it seemed like one of the best answers. Sure, "mug" is great as well, but it was pretty much at the same level (and I'm sorry, but Dan's logic of "you can grow tea anywhere" is kinda insane to me, not only because that is factually incorrect, but also because India is one of the places most associated with tea. If China or UK/England had been in the board as well, sure, you can dispute that, but India was the only other place in the options other than the Himalayas). Great video!

[@zacjdavis]

The India guess made sense to me. Haha

[@TheViolaBuddy]

[Spoilers for the video results] . . . Alas, sorry Tommy Fawkes. Wait, am I going to be personally punched now? But anyway, I loved the chaos on this one. India was absolutely a good guess, though. It's not necessarily _the_ tea country (that'd probably be China; I think that's where the first documented tea drinking happened) but if there are two tea countries they would be China and India. I would've been Chaz on this one, torn between the two options of mug and India; it's very much not obvious which one is a better fit. Which made for a great watch, really.

[@Alfonso162008]

But China wasn't in the options, tho. And India is one the places most associated with tea.

Electric Kangaroo memorable moment: 7:27

[@guguig9746]

[@aguilobo]

Some ideas/thoughts on the other words: "Unsewn (2)" for Pan and Shadow. Like Peter Pan? "Hunting (3)" for Buck and Tag (and maybe Life??) "Mocha (2)" for chocolate and mug? And I'm trying to think of a good linker for Ice Cream and Kangaroo... maybe "Drumsticks" for the ice cream brand and to allude back to Legs (for the Kangaroo), although Note could be mistaken as a music note...

[@LunarPegasus75]

I think India makes more sense over mug personally, as it's a country famous for making tea historically. I don't usually drink teas in mugs though, more in cups. Either way, putting 'tea' as the word there was risky given its association to India, the black word
