We Had to Fix this Broken Mario Game

[@oohmeshreddies]

A show of the weekend by any other name still tastes as sweet

[@katfromthekong414]

Couldn't agree more!

[@JumpingTomato]

I agree! This was great fun!

[@alurimel]

I still play the intro in my head though

[@jonrice9509]

So Mario would, were he not Mario called. Retain that dear perfection which he owes without that title. Mario, play thy game, and for thy game which is no part of thee, take all the shelf.

[@Amaranthyne]

@@alurimelAs a true fan should! Show of the weekend, show of the weekend 🎶🎵

[@Lady_Sanctuary]

From the highest high to the lowest low... "HE'S BEEN A GOOD BOY THIS CHRISTMAS!" "This is the greatest thrill of my life!" "Piss."

[@dominateeye]

I want to see Luke join a Poker Stars tournament and have this be his catchphrase. Edit: "He's been a good boy this Christmas", not "Piss". Though I suppose he's probably more likely to say the latter than the former.

[@JabRok86]

Luke would make a fine sports commentator with lines like this

[@paranagram]

i like to imagine Jon checked the box early off screen so he was waiting with batteries off screen like a very helpful dad

[@HazeEmry]

I'm reminded of when they were all painting pokemon minis during cvid times. Producer Jon is definitely the Oxdad

[@joestacey6185]

"Is this good KZbin?" Yes. Yes, it is.

[@CubanSpartan]

I still don't fully understand why, but i was ENTHRALLED for this entire episode. Somehow, this is very good KZbin.

[@katfromthekong414]

"Could be gluebricant" made me laugh unreasonably hard 😂

[@kinipayla5967]

I was thinking, “Luke, that is a horrible invention.”

[@MrGlenn442]

Now that's what I call a sticky situation

[@skeletonbuyingpealts7134]

3:12

[@Becktastic01]

The important thing is, Luke invented the portmanteau 'gluebricant', which is a paradoxical item, yet it must exist.

[@CreeperGreenMC]

They should advertise that this game does not only teach about gambling but also electronics disassembly, mechanics and gluebricant

[@SolaScientia]

"This is the greatest thrill of my life" being immediately followed by "piss!" is hilarious. Luke cheating and blowing on the coins is also hilarious and definitely something I'd have done too.

[@aegresen]

Luke can't help but get carried away a bit too far with these games, and it's so funny.

[@alexharrison2743]

​@@aegresen it's odd coz I normally think of Ellen & Andy as the competitive ones in the OxBoxtra gang

[@Rubrickety]

I want an endless loop alternating between Luke saying “We know what we’re doing” and them turning it over so the batteries fall out.

[@asolanara]

The fact that it was broken, you fixed it, then played it....and I was entertained the whole time watching two friends do all of that. Thank you

[@renxiemsgaming96]

This video had it all: diy repairadvice, lubricant, (found) siblings rivalry, an underdogstory, the Mario Franchise, cursing brits and basically a casinogame. 10/10 video experience

[@LiamDuke]

Plot twist: It broke when the box got slammed on the table

[@joshuakirkham9593]

Don't let Luke know, next time he might really, really softly lower it onto the table. 😊

[@SkyScraperC]

0:25 I think this bit sums up the dynamic at Outside Xtra PERFECTLY

[@DodderingOldMan]

'Is it glue or is it lubricant?' Yeah, it's VERY important to get that right, believe me.

[@soulreapermagnum]

i am choosing to believe you once mistook lubricant for glue.

[@TheHutchy01]

@@soulreapermagnum I have done that. Pain in the arse to rectify.

[@realGeorgelucas18563]

You guys should play this again but do it like Tipping Point and answer questions to see how many coins you get to put in. And I love Ellen's laugh, it's so infectious.

[@penguingonemad]

If you listen closely, you can hear Epoch Games physically distancing themselves from this video

[@Kurgosh1]

Producer Jon with the important question, clearing up that these normal adults are doing normal adult things while not knowing the difference between glue and grease.

[@matwilliams8012]

The only thing missing from this was a cameo from a disapproving Andy.

[@FrankyBabes]

I'm willing to believe they've started filming these when he's not in

[@ryadinstormblessed8308]

12:15 that was very nearly a Mario-accurate "Ya-hooo!" from Luke!

[@scaryclownproductions-musi7968]

Especially on 2x

[@dugstarr5277]

Simply put, this makes me happy. The cherry on the top is Ellen so frequently winning, not really that invested, while Luke loses his mind. His NO, NO, NO, NO cries I shall never forget.

[@Michael_Lindell]

Oh. LITERALLY broken.

[@toymachine2328]

"Broken game mechanics" taking on a new meaning

[@mar_speedman]

I'm guessing you haven't watched their "This game is literally unplayable" video. When Oxboxtra says something, they mean it lol

[@carlsiouxfalls]

The clickbait is real on Oxboxtra.

[@coffeeaddict9605]

This is still everything I love about SOTW, just Luke and Ellen goofing off together.

[@samsmith138]

I laughed and smiled so much during this video. It says a lot about Jon, Ellen, and Luke to be able to take a broken game, fix it, and make great content through out the video. Y'all are wonderful

[@DreadWulfie]

I'm not at all surprised that the construction of this thing was shoddy bc I bought the Mario Shaky Tower for my cousin's son's 6th birthday and one of the precut holes so the pieces could slot together hadn't been properly cut, so we couldn't put it together until we made the hole larger ourselves.

[@julienarmand1473]

So, we are all in agreement : Luke should never, ever, under any circumstances, set foot within a casino ?

[@mar_speedman]

But if he does, maybe film him for funsies

[@willytao2618]

Andy entering the room again: what in hell are you people doing? Luke: (answering enthusiastically) we are gambling! Andy getting his wallet out how much is the pot?

[@gigiroelant7299]

"A comedy of errors" has never been so apt and amusing 😂

[@alfiestark5036]

I know you don't want it to be Show of the Weekend anymore but DOES THAT MEAN WE NO LONGER GET TO HEAR THE SHOW OF THE WEEKEND JINGLE?! This is truly the darkest timeline.

[@VonBlade]

A spoiler intro for a video we're all gonna watch anyway _and_ no theme. Pitch black, friends, pitch black.

[@mfsoab]

Indeed! Got this awful masterpiece stuck in my head for weeks once, got into a love-hate relationship with it and now they leave me hanging here cold turkey...

[@RakuGoku]

Yeah, I was hoping that they'd sneak it somewhere in the middle 😅

[@HazeEmry]

Especially since it is currently the weekend 😭 here's hoping for a new jingle!

[@MrGlenn442]

The music was inside us all along...

[@aaronkimberley2008]

Mechanical engineering with Oxtra is not something I knew I needed. Thank you all!

[@rickimaru915]

I think I speak for everyone when I say that watching you two do anything together would be ‘good KZbin’

[@AtomPunk]

I won't lie, I got genuinely hyped when I saw you were playing another Mario board game. The SOTW with the Shaky Tower game was far more suspenseful and entertaining than it had any business being and I've been dying for a sequel. 😂

[@Michael_Lindell]

[@WhiteGloveBuilder]

The future of toys: Buying it because it looks fun... finding out, you bought something to teach you how to fix your stuff (unintentionally).

[@toymachine2328]

It's an educational toy!

[@abydosianchulac2]

You three actually get paid to make these videos. I heartily support this

[@snowboundwanderer]

[Table] Games are back!

[@totz_the_plaid9625]

Interesting twist idea, a person's chosen color of coins counts double for them and single for their opponent.

[@toadcola]

Or other way round, stealing your opponent's coins are worth double your own coins, for vindictiveness. For the stolen coin is the most delicious coin of all.

[@valiroime]

0:53 Ellen: _What a clip! I won, I won, I won!_ Luke (probably): _Oh, nice one Ellen. While you’re at it, why don’t you give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?_

[@reikenkayzer]

All these close-ups of them gives me strong Smith & Jones vibes, just two heads talking to each other never minding the cameras.

[@voladel]

Licensed Mario games are the new pokemon magazine

[@totz_the_plaid9625]

What if Luke remade the "Show of the Weekend" theme as "Show of Whenever"?

[@maxvel0city906]

I'd just like to remind everyone that "Ellen won Super Mario Shakey Tower."🏆 Now two time Mario game Undefeated champion.💪

[@realGeorgelucas18563]

I need to go watch that Mario Movie sliding puzzle one with the little van, see who won that one.

[@TJR-hs2dj]

Not even 5 minutes in and this not show of the weekend episode is meeting the vibes and shenanigans like always 😂

[@MMDNetwork]

In the first minute alone: "the world needs more plastic" "Bad trees" Someone hates nature, damn Luke!

[@anewsin]

Why did I watch all of this? WHY DID I ENJOY ALL OF THIS?!

[@toadcola]

Two words: Premium Cointent

[@clairewoods1858]

The new word glubricant shall now be going into my vocabulary for shite glues that don’t actually stick together, thank you OutsideXtra for expanding my word horizons, and also like for the entertainment

[@borjesvensson8661]

Well in this case it was grease of the type that sticks to everything

[@clairewoods1858]

⁠@@borjesvensson8661Completely true, I just adore the stupid word glubricant. The bad glue definition means I can run into the problem more often and get to use said stupid word! Though if I run into the true definition I’m also going to use it. Its like the inflammable situation

[@armelior4610]

I remember those from funfairs as a kid : very close to slot machines, just with a hint there is some skill involved and not total randomness (only 99.9 % randomness)

[@RH1812]

This seems like a companion piece to the steam deck debacle

[@jokiyatrott5316]

Much respect for having the will power to fix the toy. Looks to be a fun game for kids to play, the fall design is weird but not unfair. 6/10 👏🏾

[@kendoyle]

Show of the Easter, Show of the Easter, Show of the Easter Weekend!

[@lizyarikus]

I love when Luke just went "PISS" as a standalone curse.

[@jamesmurray2690]

I love Luke playing a naff kid’s game, the game going against him, and shouting “PISS!” Reminded so much of my Dad during Christmas when I was as a child. 🤣🤣🤣

[@najibzulkafli5820]

Another episode of "show of the weekend" for sure... 😁

I love watching shows like this on the weekend.

[@Monkeyzforever]

Those coin pushers were the only arcade games my parents allowed me to play 😅 Sometimes I got sweets I guess

[@djashley2002]

Will Luke and Ellen reach their tipping point?

[@lizabee484]

One of the BEST video openings in Oxtra history, I’m gonna miss you guys’ banter. Luke and Ellen just work off of each other so well comedically.

[@xstarsystemsx]

That opening alone earned my like. 😂😂

[@rptgaming]

Chuckling at the parody of other channels’ clickbait videos in the thumbnail. Next up, a Gameboy Advance runs out of charge with the thumbnail “consoles are dying”.

[@terrykarl7085]

Great to see a show this weekend... definitely not show of the weekend though..

[@paranagram]

Love the ones where you guys play some board games!

[@jocosesonata]

Now I want to see Andy play this.

[@zacharysmith4856]

The pure joy of “He’s been a good boy this Christmas!” 🥰

[@Rodark_GR]

Yes Luke, that was excellent KZbin :D Greetings from Greece !

[@midnightmatter2028]

Less than 5 minutes in, and they've already destroyed the product they're meant to be reviewing. God bless this team... XD

I love these two so much!!❤ I miss having Luke on the channel but I hope things are going to be well for him and for the rest of the Oxboxtra crew

Once more Ellen’s childlike whimsy and joy connects to the heart of the Mario franchise allotting her the victory.

I cannot get enough of Ellen's adorable laugh

[@Okotom02]

Luke: "Don't buy this!" Also Luke: "This is the greatest thrill of my life!!!"

[@roucouk18]

You guys are so entertaining that I actually watched all of this, even though it's ridiculous. You are so invested that it made me invested in turn :)

[@gwts1171]

I feel that there's much more lube in this episode of SotW than there usually is. Also, I booted up a laptop that I haven't used in years and the wallpaper was a screen grab of these two playing Mousetrap!

[@RangerBeef]

0:53 Ellen, the humble winner.

[@L-92761]

After the exhilerating anxiety of mario shakey tower any more of these weird and wonderful games are very welcome

[@jmgriffee]

These were exactly the Show of the Weekend vibes I needed on my Saturday morning. :)

[@zacharyunger2004]

Title: We had to fix this broken game. Video: Ellen and Luke open it up in search of batteries, spilling gears everywhere. Truly this channel is the glue that holds together the gears of this wonderful website.

[@l0stndamned]

Getting so many flashbacks from my aunt teaching me to play these in arcades as a little thing.

[@AmyDentata]

Giving me flashbacks to an old Sears "Search the Haunted House" game from the 1980s, which apparently later had a version with Sonic the Hedgehog

[@matthewheaven7889]

I have always hated those type of machines to play or gamble on but watching Luke and Ellen play on it and enjoy it is way better than what I think about it.

[@SpeedDemonStar]

Yes, Luke! It is strangely captivating content when the coins get stuck. A bit of low-stakes tension is (almost) always a good thing!

[@Icam_here]

all those years of watching tipping point has prepped me for this video, half tempted to get one of these even after seeing how they had to repair it to get it working love it how Luke thought he could get Ellen at the end by shaking hands only for her hands to be covered in the same goop.

[@TheStarlightKing]

So many great quotes in this episode. Especially "Sping up the bum" considering the season we're getting into.

[@Web_Crawler]

omg Ellen laugh is like a ray of sunshine to my heart, love her so much

[@Michael_Lindell]

14:05 Note the difference in organising the coins: Ellen: 3 stacks of 5 + 1 (a woman after my own heart). Luke: Sure, 14.

[@nono-ch8oy]

Luke, anything with you three is good content. Yall haven't gone wrong yet
