The ULTIMATE Yamper Quiz | Show of the Weekend: We Read Pokemon Magazine

[@silversalamence10]

I saw that issue of Pokemon Magazine (published in the UK by Immediate Media) at Tesco's yesterday and thought "I bet that'll be on Show of the Weekend at some point".

[@pmonday]

I know you weren't paid to say that, it just seems fair.

[@Becktastic01]

And you were right!

[@penguingonemad]

Luke: What cheeky Pokemon on your sticker sheet is the same height as Yamper? Me, immediately: Charizard, knowing Pokemon magazine.

[@Sableagle]

Me: {lays magazine and sticker sheet flat} "All of them."

[@penguingonemad]

@@Sableagle Big brain thinking there!

[@LJay_1985]

Saturday mornings aren't the same without the chaotic, childlike energy that Luke & Ellen consistently provide. It reminds me of the fun old days of Disney Club or Live & Kicking, but on a slightly smaller scale.

[@Kalah_]

I'm completely uninterested in anything Pokemon related, yet I quite enjoy these. :)

[@katfromthekong414]

What a great analogy! Couldn't agree more! 😂👏🏼

[@shannonbennetts]

Was waiting for that wrist shooter to bust another hole in the background sheet 😅 Edit: Just saw the shattered glass! 🤣

[@kllrchpmnk]

I named my first one Thorgi and forgot it's name was Yamper.

[@xstarsystemsx]

Thorgi is a genius name!

[@kllrchpmnk]

@@xstarsystemsx Thanks, I was probably a bit too proud of myself.

[@ethanrogacion9639]

immediate media: now primarily funded by luke westaway and his pokemon magazine habit

[@neolexiousneolexian6079]

By the end of the year, Oxboxtra and Immediate Media will have announced a merger aimed at vertical integration.

[@GhengisJohn]

When Luke said "They're starters, they're practically brother and sister." and I thought "Yes Luke but they're not blood related." I knew I had crossed some kind of critical anime threshold.

[@XWRL6]

"If she's not blood-related, she's free to be dated." - Gigguk

[@kcollier2192]

I thought "So were Luke and Leila ".

[@jordanfrancis9707]

It's fine as long as you call "No chromo"

[@randyotte9599]

Why do I hear banjos in the distance...

[@Drunken_mage]

That threshold may or may not have tentacles so better be safe step-commentator

[@owena7236]

"You're like a Yamper that hasn't evolved" is a line for the ages

[@Lionfire42]

The sheer offense on Ellen's face was pure gold.

[@DiceSully]

r/rareinsults

[@waterinmyotter6245]

The look on Luke’s face when Ellen doesn’t choose Magikarp…

[@marhawkman303]

Funny thing: you get a Dratini in the original Red/blue by fishing. Also they can learn water moves. Still a Dragon.

[@aardbei54]

Iirc Dratini actually *resists* Electric, too

[@scottlil01]

"Say the line Luke" "Published by Immediate Media. Not getting paid to say that, just seems fair" "Yay!" Also, Ellen was ruthless on those poor starters with the wrist launcher.

[@Poisonjam7]

I have a story to share about Yamper and how it almost instantly became one of my favorite Pokémon. Fair warning, it’s kind of sad. Right before Sword and Shield came out my dog got severely injured…so badly that we had to put her down. It was the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever had to do. They say dogs are a man’s best friend, and she absolutely was. She helped me get through some really tough times. Some days were so bad I didn’t feel like living anymore, but seeing her smiling face and her cute little tail wagging was enough to keep me from doing something irreversible. So yeah, losing her was a huge blow to me. It had only been a few days since that terrible, terrible day I lost her when I started playing S&S. But something magical happened in my first random encounter: emerging from the grass was an adorable little female Yamper. (BTW, I went in completely blind. I didn’t know any of the new Pokémon in this game) Of course I instantly threw out a ball to catch her, and I did on my very first throw and with it at full health. (I would never attack a Yamper to begin with) But I like to think my baby girl was watching over me when that happened, and she wanted me to use the Yamper on my journey to help heal my broken heart. Obviously, I named it after my departed best friend and kept her in my party for the entire game. I never used her in battle, because I COULD NOT handle seeing her get hurt. So yeah, that’s the story of how Yamper became one of my all time favorite Pokémon and how the spirit of my best friend showed up to help me heal. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention my dog was also a similar breed to Yamper. Hopefully I didn’t make anyone cry with that story. Sorry if I did. 🥹

[@the_scotch]

Luke desperately trying to nudge Ellen in the right direction for "fish and ships", and Ellen just not quite getting there, and then the cut to "Let's shoot Sobble in its soft sad mouth!" is one of the funniest things I've seen for a while. Show of the weekend never fails to bring the childlike glee, and I'm eternally grateful.

[@flaziola]

This felt more like a classic Show of The Weekend, OX spinning logo Luke and Ellen doing a gag intro, the theme tune, Ellen in fit of giggles at the absurdness of the intro. Content, outro music returns.

[@Paladin585]

Luke: not original 150 so I don't have any connections to it. Proceeds to call Dratini a water type.

[@marhawkman303]

In fairness they do live in water....but... DRAGON!!!!!

[@flurglhinge3051]

At this point Pokemon magazine should give you guys a complimentary subscription at the very least

[@MichaelSmith-hf2qp]

Luke: "challenge the reader!: Luke during the Charizard quiz: "Charizard is the size of a football and weighs nothing!"

[@TinyKingShrimp]

I was half-expecting "DOUBLE KILL" to flash on the screen at 15:20.

[@ethanlappin]

I always think I know what to expect with Outsidextra, and then something like the Pokémon firing squad comes along

[@CantankerousDave]

TIL that “Nearly there” is the British equivalent of “Bless your heart” in the southern US. I guess it would also work for the 1-3 score range.

[@gruggerduggerhoose]

Poor Ellen, so gutted to have the promise of crafts cruelly snatched away by Immediate Media lmao

[@hansolochewbacca4260]

Love the cracked glass effect on the end screen thanks to Ellen's final attack 😆

[@travisrolison9646]

Ohm my God ; Ellen’s deduction on yamp was shockingly practical. Her logic had no resistance from luke , he was positive in agreements. Glad he wasn’t neutral or negative , and he was quite grounded with the reaction. John was a bit amped up when he heard it though . Andy would have bolted away from this quiz quick as lighting though.

[@NotKyleChicago]

Mike would have looked for Lightning McQueen?

[@frodobaggins7710]

I like how the Pokémon magazine's method of scoring someone comes with a dose of patronisation and passive aggression

[@Michael_Lindell]

11:50 The Joké-mon section!

[@damienmcv4248]

"You're like a Yamper that hasn't evolved" Wait, isn't that just a Yamper?

[@DrBrangar]

The implication that Wailord eats ships is straight up **terrifying**

[@marhawkman303]

It's canonically bigger than most legendaries. it's Pokedex height stat is 47 feet or 14.5M. Is that it's nose to tail length? Or belly to blowhole? O-o' Either way it's enormous!

[@aardbei54]

It's a really confusing joke, too, as the Pokédex states that Wailord's diet consists mainly of Wishiwashi (who has nothing to do with the joke).

[@kayschut9327]

Technically the magazine is wrong, Yamper is not owned by Chloe but is the family pet and it's trainer is her dad.

[@johnfoelster507]

Senile Oxtra fan confession. When it became obvious that the word "electric" would cause Ellen to start singing, I assumed the words would be "boogie woogie woogie".

[@TheYorkRose]

Luke and Ellen: a sticker question with colours, why don't they challenge us Also Luke and Ellen: literally struggle with the stickers

[@Bahamut-ie3tk]

8:37 That is a picture of a Boltund with Darmanitan's name next to it. So Ellen got that one right also.

[@Sableagle]

Incomplete knowledge about an electric-type Pokémon means you haven't reached your full potential. Does that mean there's a _potential difference_ between you and a Pokénerd? Shocking.

[@deanospimoniful]

🥁

[@patience1926]

🥁

[@DMurphysLore]

Booooo. Boo.

[@CodaBlairLucarioEmperor]

I was screaming about Dratini being dragon type and resisting electric.

[@YourD83]

I exclaimed "one of them is literally a fish!"

[@shotgunshells2]

Glad to know I wasn't the only one.

[@joeldfisher]

Squirrelax sounds like some kind of nut based muscle relaxant

[@flurglhinge3051]

that has senna pods as the active ingredient

[@drizztdourden666]

Sounds more like a laxative 😂🤣😂

[@yani_babie]

I live for the pokemon magazine content. I like how chaotic it can be.

[@dansattah]

I low key expected a comment on Yamper's official name in different languages. In German, "Yamper" is called "Voldi" (Volt + "Hundi" ("doggy" in German)), which has the unintended consequence of connecting it to "Voldemort". :)

[@lyledal]

1 Corgi = 13 bags of sugar. Good to know!

[@Ceece20]

UK measurements for weight: bags of sugar and stones.

[@nightmarethrenody8232]

Instructions unclear, cake yaps too much

[@betteryou7hanme]

This is appropriate content for a 35 year old man, he says to himself as he pours another bowl of lucky charms.

[@Jambobist]

Normal adult cereal for normal adult men.

[@madalice5134]

As a 35 year old normal adult woman who relaxes with Pokémon Shield after grinding in Elden Ring, I agree. Totally appropriate. 😅

[@drizztdourden666]

Hey lucky charms are delicious!it’s nobody’s fault that children cereal tastes better than adult cereals(adult cereals smell like hay & dry pet foods)

[@manolismarinakis8444]

Somehow you always manage to make these things enjoyable even if I have no interest at all for pokemon

[@privatespoon77]

When Ellen sighs at a joke then you know it was bad.

[@Brasc]

Pun Queen Ellen Rose may, in fact, see the self groan as a sign of the joke's success and file it away for later use.

[@Umbra451]

I swear, Oxtra are single-handedly keeping this magazine alive

[@carolstedry4737]

I love how much joy these nerds get out of their job!

[@alexixeno4223]

Also puns so bad even ellen groaned, you know thats bad

[@TheCaptainstupendous]

Ellen is an absolute treasure and makes my day brighter with every video she's in

[@bilbo_t_baggins2762]

Love how a child sized wrist strap is slightly too big for Ellen.

[@MarinMBGillette]

I love that reading Pokemon Magazine has just become a regular Show of the Weekend fixture now.

[@DrakeAurum]

Pokemon puns: Whether Luke or Ellen wins, we all lose.

[@lauramarschmallow2922]

I really love "Show of the Pokémonmagazine"!

[@Reids0me]

True peace is watching another great Show of the Weekend with a full cup of coffee.

[@alexixeno4223]

Good morning from Canada westcoast! Thank you for brightening my break

[@voladel]

When the puns are too punny for Ellen you know you are in trouble

[@TrafficJamByCam]

I wasn’t the biggest fan of Yamper (nicknamed Woodward) initially but he was the only decent electric I had early game so I kept him around. Then he evolved into a Boltund and never left my party after that!

[@lukas8670]

I just noticed the smashed glass effect on the goodbye page. Is that a nice thing for this one because Ellen shot the camera, or has that always been there?

[@captain-chunk]

I’m honestly not going to go back and check…. *waits… goes back and checks*. Well I checked and it’s only in this one!

[@NigelMelanisticSmith]

I also took way to long to get that Fish and Ships joke lol, bloodthirsty Moby Dick of a Wailord

[@dead_end_roadmk367]

They Should probably just get a subscription to the magazine at this point then they wouldn't have to worry about finding it.

[@deanospimoniful]

Maybe luke needs more reasons to get out.

[@Tabbyclaw]

But that takes away the joy of discovery! It's like how it's more satisfying to randomly hear your favorite song on the radio than to just pull it up on your music player.

[@johannvongenerico9487]

I wasn't on board with Yamper when it was revealed, can't remember why, but I used one on my sword team and she's an absolute beast (though obviously a Boltund now, not still a Yamper)

[@flyingwithbirbs1202]

Honestly these are my favourite show of the weekend quizzes 💙

[@theycallmejodamo]

“You’re like a Yamper that hasn’t evolved yet” is my new favorite sick burn 😂😂

[@dr_mundi_90]

I love these videos - transforming something rather mundane into a hilarious time.

[@thomaschumley3904]

So, if the Queen had a Pokemon, would it be Yamper?

[@vikingqueen333]

We were doing a Queens Birthday display at my work and due to some delayed shipping we didnt have enough items to fill it, so we started looking for corgi toys - which it turned out we had none, so I suggested using all the yamper toys we had. They almpst did it too.

[@seracila432]

"Once in a while" - "Once a month", tomato - potato

[@Sableagle]

Galar? Pah! Yamper first appeared in the Eocene!

[@tom-hk]

We get one sunny day and everyone thinks it's summer already. A nice, cold, rainy spell will soon remind us all that it is still spring time.

[@TransmitHim]

"You can support us in other ways, like continuing to publish Pokemon magazine, Immediate Media".

[@willytao2618]

Andy walks by the studio; "What are you doing?" Luke hastly hidding the Pokemon magazine; "normal adult things!" Andy sighs deeply; "it's that period of the month again..."

[@nolongerzombiedoe4729]

well done luke, you got me to replay pokemon white after almost a decade. only been playing for a few days and im already at nimbassa city

[@the_blind_scout]

I hope Ellen now appreciates how Andy endures her puns...

[@dallydaydream]

Of course Ellen measures a yamper in bags of sugar; she's so sweet! P.S. Whoever edited this video and added cracked glass to the end screen, that was very clever and I love you

[@DiceSully]

I'm imagining that Oxtra has a glass trophy cabinet displayed pride of place in the studio full of Pokémon magazine toys

[@IrvineTheHunter]

Datini is confusingly a pure dragon type turning into Dragonite, not to confused with the /definitely/ not a dragon, Charizard.

[@CrazyJawas]

Can we just club together and get them a subscription to the magazine so Luke doesn't miss another issue? 😛

[@noahwilliams446]

To be fair, small & adorable are two of yamper’s defining traits, I don’t think Ellen has boltund’s trademark thousand-yard stare

[@Tabbyclaw]

I always want to pat my boltund and tell her she's doing a great job, because she just looks so nervous and neurotic about everything. Which is about right for a herding dog with nothing to herd, so props to the artists.

[@Eckister]

"You're like a Yampre that hasn't evolved" is SUCH a savage thing to say to anyone lol

[@xraystyle00]

i live in Korea where everyone is going nuts over Pokemon cream bread that has a sticker in the packaging. I went to the local shop and a bunch of kids were working the stock delivery driver over to see if he'd brought a resupply. Definitely do have a problem...

[@MSte21]

Ellen making tiny jokes about herself will never not be adorable.

[@NightViperLd]

I just found these videos and any time I feel like crap just put these on and start laughing... great stuff... lol

[@TheYorkRose]

As requested: it is adequate for any adult to know that much about Yamper

[@TheYorkRose]

That's no excuse for lack of dratini knowledge of course, lol

[@langdon7x]

The broken end screen card is a very nice touch.

[@gustonzimasheen]

Terminator Luke: "Sarah Connor?" Ellen: "Yes?"

[@flyingkitty67]

I'm just relieved you didn't damage the background again. Fun as always!

[@brookeboyd7095]

I am always super excited for any of the Pokemon magazine episodes.

[@katfromthekong414]

Saturday fun time! 🥳 The weekend wouldn't be the same without this gem of entertainment!

[@tranquility1991]

For some reason "no Ellen, he's already dead!!" *really* got me

[@NecroGrin]

Bold move from the writer of that magazine. Insulting Ellen and supplying her with a deadly, wrist-mounted weapon

[@Rayne_Check]

I love listening to Ellen and Luke Yamper-ing on and on about Pokemon.

[@insertfunnyhandlehere]

I love house over the weekend is slowly turning into let's review Pokemon magazine LOL

[@user-du9sh4bw1c]

I feel like the least you can do at this point is give official pokemon magazine a stake in outside xtra given they're basically the foundation the channel is built upon at this point.

[@csabalako1788]

Love you Luke, never change :D Also love you Ellen ^^ And Mike, Andy and Jane of course. And producer John. And cameraman James. And everyone else to not exclude anyone

[@42thursday42]

I need a reaction GIF of Ellen after hitting two pokes in one shot.

[@marinemanaphy101]

This video is what made me realize that Yamper is an electricity pun about amperes.

[@WildfireMagni]

I like how they added the cracked screen in the end slate. Nice touch.

[@NowUndefined]

Great job not putting another hole in the wall with the shooter

[@AngelBeatYunara]

Wow, that Pokemon Magazine is brutal.

[@Becktastic01]

At this point these guys are basically almost PokeTubers. I'm fine with it. Although if they branch out to other types of magazines for diff franchises, that would be fine too. For example Star Wars. I want to know if they have what it takes to join the dark side. Well, I say 'they' but I mean Luke. We all know Ellen is a sith lord. It's like an open secret. And for another one, which of the Duck triplets are they most like? I think Luke is more like Huey. And Animal Crossing content would be good too, they could show us their island for each event. Egg Day was nightmareishly GREAT, for example. Just some ideas.

[@szlag_mnie_trafi]

OMG. There is nothing better than cup of coffee and see you both "messing around" Thank you Ellen Thank you Luke. My day is fulfilled!!! ☀️😎

[@apemanolly]

Finally time for the only Pokemon joke I know, How do you get Pikachu on a bus? You Pokemon

[@EdFortune]

Waiting for the inevitable episode where two pokemon use the pages from 'Outside X-Box Magazine' to create 20 minutes of content.

[@Garth45100]

I like that reading the Pokémon magazine is just in the title now 😂

[@Mannydas728]

LOL it feels like every episode is like this lol and i love it

[@MerricMaker]

I was ill last night. Now I have a fever and not entirely trusting my stomach. Thanks for the errant nonsense and giggles.

[@Galvamel]

The crafting slo-mo thing sounded fine, but I LOVE Pokemon Magazine time! Here's a challenging Pokemon question. "This Pokemon enjoys food, and has been seen in the cartoon or card game. Who is it?" Here's a hint, it's not the one you think.
