We Had to Fix this Broken Mario Game

We tried out Super Mario Lucky Coin Game to gamble with Mario, but it seems buying this game is already enough of a gamble...!

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

[@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.

[@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. 😊

[@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

[@Becktastic01]

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

[@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

[@SimuLord]

Everybody's favorite not-actually-siblings siblings having Family Game Night with not-actually-dad Producer Jon. I love this channel.

[@CreeperGreenMC]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@penguingonemad]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@SkyScraperC]

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

[@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...

[@ryadinstormblessed8308]

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

[@scaryclownproductions-musi7968]

Especially on 2x

[@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.

[@gigiroelant7299]

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

[@Michael_Lindell]

Show. Of. The. Weekend.

[@chrismanuel9768]

You'll always be show of the weekend in my heart

[@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.

[@coffeeaddict9605]

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

[@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?

[@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!

[@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.

[@rickimaru915]

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

[@mikegiron3071]

Luke, please don't go into a Round One arcade. With the UFO catchers and coin pushers, the claws of Gamblor will sink deeply in you like they have me

[@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.

[@aaronkimberley2008]

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

[@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

[@snowboundwanderer]

[Table] Games are back!

[@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.

[@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. 😂

[@totz_the_plaid9625]

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

[@voladel]

Licensed Mario games are the new pokemon magazine

[@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.

[@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

[@anewsin]

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

[@SimuLord]

Because it's Saturday.

[@Toadcola]

Two words: Premium Cointent

[@TJR-hs2dj]

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

[@abydosianchulac2]

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

[@RH1812]

This seems like a companion piece to the steam deck debacle

[@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)

[@lizyarikus]

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

[@kendoyle]

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

[@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 👏🏾

[@Monkeyzforever]

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

[@najibzulkafli5820]

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

[@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. 🤣🤣🤣

[@zacharysmith4856]

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

[@Speilbilde]

Highlights: producer jon with the battery assist, "i have been a good boy this Christmas" and Ellen being the two-time Mario champion

[@MMDNetwork]

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

[@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

[@djashley2002]

Will Luke and Ellen reach their tipping point?

[@zarbixii]

I fear I may never insert a battery again without thinking 'spring up the bum'

[@drymice500]

Yay, it’s another (not)-show-of-the-weekend 🎉❤

[@xstarsystemsx]

That opening alone earned my like. 😂😂

[@Im_leaving]

This is what I subscribed for. Two grown adults playing friggin mario boardgames

[@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!

[@Jayzgame]

[@l0stndamned]

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

[@eleanorsmith7152]

HE’S BEEN A GOOD BOY THIS CHRISTMAS!!!

[@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.

[@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”.

[@SimuLord]

They got a Gameboy Advance free of charge!

[@HollyLeavesssss]

What a twist ending. Both covered in slime and simultaneously betraying each other, truly the height of cinema

[@LP-xw7ix]

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

[@midnightmatter2028]

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

[@MissYaBigMan]

This is basically Mario-themed Tipping Point. . . . Toading Point?

[@Doktor_Calamari]

THIS. This is what I want to see: Luke and Ellen playing dodgy motorized children's games.

[@StraightOuttaJarhois]

I love watching shows like this on the weekend.

[@macross42]

Ellen's wonderful cackling laughter made my day😂

[@Qwentar]

Ellens laugh is just so infectious...

[@Quan10Mack]

Glubricant just reminds me of Tony Shalhoub's Monk feeling sick and having a humidifier and a dehumidifier running together in his room and Leland just going "Don't those cancel each other out?"

[@ststclair]

This brought me great joy. Wonderfully done!

[@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 :)

[@paranagram]

Love the ones where you guys play some board games!

[@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.

[@creativedesignation7880]

Paused it 30 seconds in to sing the Show of the Weekend tune 🎶🎵

[@terrykarl7085]

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

[@RangerBeef]

0:53 Ellen, the humble winner.

[@FalseHero004]

An entire series where you play with cheap name brand toys and games would be my favorite, just instantly

[@gabrielbutler9125]

12:10, like actually sounds like a Mario character! 😂

[@jmgriffee]

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

[@Rodark_GR]

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

[@ritsukil2d]

"everything has just fallen out" GEE, I WONDER WHY! Luke slamming the game onto the table at the start...

[@BENch_Gaming44444]

Kids and gambling... My favorite combination!

[@bigbass4811]

I cannot get enough of Ellen's adorable laugh

[@LadySpeckledStar]

Now it's Mario board games which can ruin friendships too, move over Mario Party!

[@Web_Crawler]

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

[@Nathpeggsy]

Huh, it's a weekend, and they've made a fun show. They should call these episodes something like....Saturday Gaming KZbin Video. Super catchy.

[@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.

[@MrGibsonian]

Some people jump out of planes, some people race cars, some people climb mountains. I just watch two people play with a Mario themed gambling toy to get my adrenaline going.

[@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!
