Lower Decks is here now and available for a limited time in Star Trek Fleet Command! wehy.pe/y/2/FactFiendWithKarlSmallwood

[@xandercraw]

I’d love to listen to you talking about Red Dwarf

[@Icegl0w]

As a player of STFC, I find it ironic that this video dropped the week after the Lower Decks Arc ended. That said the game is a fairly fun mobile game.

[@captwrecked]

I just keep thinking of the scene in Spaceballs where Bill Pullman tries the nerve pinch on one of the guards and has to be corrected. LMAO

[@captwrecked]

@@sparky6086 James Doohan is from my hometown, he was also injured on D Day, and was at one point declared "The most dangerous man in the Canadian Air Force", despite being in the army... for a stunt with an artillery observer plane.

His fair messes with the green screen. It’s great

At this point, I can see them doing an entire episode with Lucas, but it's still Karl's voice for some reason.

[@Cormonkey18]

Too much work 🤣

[@Gfreak250]

@@Cormonkey18 True, but it would be funny 😂

[@gartsur84]

It's great to have an "everybody" episode. Have you ever consider for the side chanel to do a round table where you out Fact each other about a topic?. Have a great weekend.

[@BenderTheBoiler]

Karl is the useless Fact King, we don't want to watch a bloodbath.

[@Segafishy]

Shatner loved to pilfer food from other sets too which proved to be a godsend on one occasion as he thought he smelt BBQ and went in search of it and found a fire had started one of the studios, he then raised the alarm preventing it from being much worse. And we all know Bond packs a small pistol.

[@GentlemenG]

I've always thought of Lucas as Karl's inner voice/thoughts. So when I see him on video it kills my headcanon 😂😂

... Karl is right Lucas looks the most like a KZbinr It's interesting lmao What a fun ad read

[@stephenbenner4353]

Best instance of the Vulcan nerve pinch: Star Trek IV the voyage home. Enterprise crew goes back to 1994 and a Klingon bird of prey to save the whales. Spock is on the bus in San Francisco, and a punk with a boombox is bothering everyone on the bus. The Spock does the nerve pinch and knocks him out. The rest of the passengers on the bus cheer loudly.

[@andrewfsheffield]

That song the punk is listening to is my favorite song. It's so good and it's so funny that it's just a joke song for a star Trek movie.

[@thekeytoairpower]

Spock: Character on Star Trek Dr Spock: Pediatrician and Gold Medal winning Olympic rower, best known for the controversial opinion that children should be treated like you know... humans.

[@antarfodoh]

As a long time viewer, I'm cool with you guys doing full on sponsorships, if it lets you keep doing what you do

[@ytcomment4242]

The best use of the Vulcan neck pinch was in Spaceballs.

[@thomasdahlberg5920]

Love that Karl got out of doing the ad read himself and found a way to integrate it pretty "seamlessly" into the usual format. I really enjoy that he has stuck to his morals on sponsorships and seems to refuse to let them take away from the quality of the video. Edit: capitalizing Karl's name because it was getting to me.

[@Nostripe361]

And it is for something, Star Trek, that he likes. So I am happy that he can get the channel a sponsor while keeping true to himself.

[@dahken417]

How the hell is this keeping his cherry-picked morals?

[@thomasdahlberg5920]

@@dahken417 Well, there was still only one ad. He removed the youtube ads from the video, as he does with all sponsored videos. Also, his main opposition to scripted ads was that they usually come with alot of other stipulations, such as "do not mention a competitor of ours", "you have to read this script within 90 second of the video starting" etc... Clearly, this was not the case as it was well over 2 and a half minutes into the video before they read the ad. Karl also didn't read the ad out himself. He let Lucas do it, who clearly wanted to do the ad. And it was for a franchise he enjoys. Clearly, you haven't watched many of his videos because from SEVERAL of his videos,, it's pretty apparent that if it was really something that went against his morals, he wouldn't have done it. Period. You're just salty that you're favorite "underground entertainment" got sponsored by a bigger company.

[@3_14pie]

I did the nerve pinch to my friends and told them how to do it as a kid (8 to 10 years maybe), it doesn't knock someone unconscious, but it hurt as fuck, and it spread through the whole school (specially between the girls) to the point where I saw kids doing it even in my last highschool year

[@Danlows1]

Yeah, the actual pressure point is far closer to the neck than the point in trek is shown to be🤣🤣🤣 and further toward the front of the neck

[@danielled8665]

Yeah police and some security are taught that point in PPCT (pressure point control tactics)

[@christopherjamesboudoir]

One of my favorite bits of hammy over acting (and it was intentional) is in the movie version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When Buffy kills Paul Rubens' character he hams the fuck out of it! So much so that there is a stinger with him still dying. And that was a fun ad read. That was a Fact Fiend ad read and I am so here for it!

[@evamadman]

Got to love the delegation of the ad read and nice to hear everyone is alive and well behind the camera

[@sandvicheatfresh]

1:10 "i farted in that chair btw". Another way of saying it is "ive heated it up for you"

[@owlgoddess8534]

fact fiend is the only channel that can get me to watch an entire ad read because here it’s an Event

[@jackvos8047]

Dr Spock was a children's Doctor and Author. Mr Spock was 1st officer of the enterprise.

[@anounamiss4653]

I think Spock mopping the floor with Khan was good cause it showed he lost his absolute shit

[@BeastGuyver]

something that always bothered me was when that virus that made people act drunk infected the crew some how it effected Data... a biological virus effected a machine.

[@SirTimbo]

See perhaps data was just mimicking those around him. I dare say he coulda just shocked someone and called it a vulkan pinch.

[@DanteSolablood]

Ah man, the episode where Karl says he's a big fan of Star Trek but calls "Mr Spock" "Dr Spock" the while video. Doctor Spock is famous author of child care books. ;) Easily done mate.

[@cynthiana8328]

When it comes to Shatner's acting ability, or lack thereof, it would make more sense if the three seasons had been filmed in reverse. I've been binge watching all of TOS in the last few weeks. I swear, every episode Shatner becomes more of a caricature of himself.

[@JaymeSplendid]

Oh man! Dude, I'd want to see Spock to pistol whip everyone. Kirk, Scotty, the boom mic dude, the camera man.... That would be a great episode.

[@Nostripe361]

Even though I get why some people complain about it being dumb and cheap, I still have a soft spot in my heart for the planet of hats aliens trope.

[@redbeardproductions-kevind9806]

Mr. Spock... Dr. Spock was a pediatrician

[@Zekana0]

My favorite nerv pinch moment was in an xmen/star trek crossover comic. Spock uses the nerv pinch on wolverine, and knocks him out, but because of his healing factor, it only knocks him out for half the time. So much stupid fun

[@Gauldame]

There is something equivalent irl, however due to trauma risk it isn't as much a "stun setting phaser effect" and more "we have evolved a response to curl up and shut down when struck like this because those who had that response were more likely to have babies". Liver punch, liver shot. The liver is extremely important, has a massive amount of vascular tissue in and around it, plays key roles in an untold number metabolic activities for minute to minute...well life and *a lot* of very important nerves. When struck properly (force and angle) it sends a shock through your system and the autonomic system responds. That part that controls things like breathing and heart rate. You curl up, fall down, and black out in the most painful experience (arguably) that a human central nervous system can sustain and still be functioning. Note: this isn't necessarily unconsciousness like "oh I'm blackout drunk or asleep". It's "there is so much pain throughout the entire central and peripheral nervous system *:* muscle groups a-d and 5-12 contract, and shut down any ability to do anything but pain." If consciousness is lost that is generally more merciful, as you are unable to interact and trapped within an unresponsive body. It results in many TKOs, partially due to the complete loss of function and partially due to the recognition (now) of how absolutely dangerous it is when the subject is experiencing it. The difference between, "unconscious due to nerve shut down" and "unconscious due to internal hemorrhaging" is not apparent without medical examination. It has happened enough times in full contact sports where you can look up video footage. If you know what's going on biologically, seeing the human form seize and just drop like that is chilling.

[@Cuiasodo]

It is absolutely mind-blowing to me that a character trait that had so much usage on the show simply came from an actor suggestion.

[@narthted8200]

What is with the normal ad read in a fact fiend video

[@AvoiceInYourheadd]

NO! I refuse to believe that Karl’s friends aren’t disembodied voices.

[@wuraolaolagunju]

The illusion has been shattered!

[@hyzenthlay7151]

I like how you talk about "beam me up Scotty" never being said, before then proceeding to refer to the subject of the video as "Doctor Spock"... He's a Vulcan science officer, not an American paediatrician.

[@grants7390]

my favorite overacting of pain is Nickolas cage with the bees

[@thearcangel2333]

Never knew how Lucas looked before it’s good to finally have a face with the voice.

[@culturewarsdiplomacy]

Tovok from voyager was a security officer and was literally trained in volcan martial arts. If it was 21st century do a rear jujitsu choke, quick works and looks technical as opposed to a postal whip.

[@DanielsPolitics1]

I really really love the joke of wearing hair, ink, and clothes that trick the green screen. But can we have a one off exception because I need to know how awesome that hair looks with the green visible?

[@ryanharner2092]

Rarely Seen Lucas with a great ad read. Although I will say my favorite part is the professionally unprofessional effect of the green screen with the green hair.

[@nikkia9506]

Doctor? Ohhh, mate. It's Mister Spock 🤦‍♀️

[@CaraTheStrange]

I am loving Lucas’s makeup in the ad read

[@blackfire3744]

I think the most honest attempt to explain how the Vulcan neck pinch works was in the movie "Spaceballs" where the character "Lonestar" tried it, and failed, on a guard who corrected him and allowed him to try again successfully knocking said guard out.

[@joelatkinson4967]

Forgot the best Vulcan nerve pinch. Lone Starr uses it on a guard in Space Balls

[@theodorequakins2636]

Oh god i love how the greenscreen just puts holes in lucas' hair

[@TheOnyxSpy]

Data got the psionic ability after he was attacked by and controlled by that alien from Independence Day, and it was handed down through the generations until his late offspring were able to place it inside of his android children.

[@turbopokey]

They did the Enterprise fly-by and all I could hear(aside from the standard demonic screaming everyone gets) was a Jetson's space putt-putt engine noise...

[@SKYNET_1.01]

Spock used the neck pinch on khan in star trek into darkness. Khan didn't get knocked out but did fall to his knees screaming in pain from it.

[@himagainstill]

15:45 The main reason they're all flings is that the one time he was in a serious relationship (to the point where he got married), the woman was murdered. Granted, it was a classic fridging, but it's the only thing remotely resembling character development in the first 50 years of the franchise. The real tragedy of the story is that it was On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Lazenby couldn't act for shit.

[@Dragonaut72]

I love how Lucas's hair blends with the greenscreen

[@yusefdelvillar6566]

Petition to make Lucas’ hair green.

[@crabman962]

Saw the community post, watched the add, and left. Not too interested in Star Trek but if it helps support you’re guys’ content I’ll watch the add!

[@qdllc]

I’m sure by the end of Season 3, several actors wanted to pistol whip Kirk. 😂

[@skidawg22]

Picard gave the Vulcan nerve pinch to Tuvok.

[@RhapsosProductions]

I think 'Picard can pinch because of mind-meld with Sarek' is one of those moments where I will begrudgingly accept it, but Data actually makes sense if it is about strength and anatomical knowledge. As has been shown a number of times, he is much stronger than a human, and could easily have learned the technique through archives or something.

[@rhylin26]

This was a good workaround for the ad read.

[@donutchan8114]

Lol Lucas and his ~magic hair~

[@coledibiase5971]

I had absolutely no intention of ever playing this game, but if Fact Fiend is willing to accept a sponsorship from them than I will absolutely give the game a try

[@anaiswinter9893]

I respect you guys so much for the near endless hours of great content you make, I really dont mind an ad-read, especially if it is even funny to watch. I hope You Tube´s algorithm stops fucking you guys over and the views go up even further again. I can´t imagine that so many viewers would dissapear. There are very few channels I watch as repeatetly and consistent as this one. Even if I don´t know anything about the subject matter (like the F-zero pilots backgrounds.....sorry if I misremembered it) it is always entertaining because of the format you guys created and I thoroughly enjoy hearing you guys chat about anything. And I will follow your second channel gladly....it is nice to see all of you exploring your own things, even if I will miss this exact format if or when you drop or have to drop it, because it isnt sustainably anymore,

[@nathanclarke2777]

Damn Lucas can do his makeup great! Around his eyes is like something done by movie makeup artists!

[@GRM19840]

I'm up for more hero guerilla in films, as long as Liam Neeson is fist fighting a wolf in the background.

Bond settles down and gets married in you only live twice but she's assasinated, he never let himself get so close to someone again

[@SLOosterhoff]

1:51 3:00 The editors really have outdone themselves with this one.

[@nickthelick]

Thing is, there's a spot between your neck and shoulder blade, where, if you press into it, it WILL put you on the deck! 🤔😬 My mate used to love performing it on me from behind when I least expected it. Wouldn't incapacitate you, like, put you unconscious, BUT it DID fucking hurt and it would put you on the ground! 😊 😀 🤔😬

Um, Actually, several women are shown to have an ongoing relationship with Bond. Silvia Trench (Dr No and From Russia with Love) spanning two movies. Most are only in one movie, but have relations with him more than once: Tatiana Romanova (From Russia with Love), The Contessa (Her Majesty's Secret Service) who married him, Solitare (Live and Let Die), Paris Carver (Tomorrow Never Dies), Natalya Simonova (Golden Eye), Dr who clears him for service (World is not enough), Jinx (Die Another Day), Vesper (Casino Royale) and Madeleine Swann (Spectre & No Time to Die), though this last one they are estanged.
