If they didn't I bet the outcome would have been much different. Yep, this was huge. Another set of monsters (likely even scarier than what they've seen) could have caused a very rapid failure cascade

I think I got her with True Facts of Grant 3, Denzel, and Vic's ex-step Grandma Denzel and Ex-Step-Grandmother are definitely my go-tos for hooking friends. That and Sam Says 3.

Wungus posted:I hope it works out for them. I have absolutely no interest in subscribing (and even if I did, they don't have an easy way to watch that fits into my watch habits) but if they're able to make a living without giving money to Google/Youtube and without needing to format their content in a way that satisfies the bullshit whims of advertisers, hell yeah. If only 1% of the current Watcher Youtube subscribers sign up for $5/mo, that's still something like $1,740,000 a year, which hopefully is enough to let some weirdos go make weird videos as a career. I'm incredibly grateful goons are sensible about this stuff because the sheer amount of entitled whining from people about this is insane and has a seriously gross air of "gently caress you for wanting paid for your work, do it for The Art and starve".

Sure. It’s more the talking around it. The “we need money!” into the one upcoming show being Steve Lin flying around the world eating expensive food is wildly tonedeaf. “If you can’t come with us, all the best, but for everyone who wants to…” isn’t much better. Plus “anyone can afford it!” is a big ask from a mostly millennial and student based viewership. Dropout's been going for much longer and has been pumping out (good, consistent) content, and notably has been like. Smarter about hires? Iirc everyone but Sam and Brennan are contract but Watcher has 25 full timers. e: Sorry, I meant when they pivoted to Dropout following College Humor's demolition.

Huh I wonder what Brennan would have done if one of the players had caught up on The Seven and been all oh poo poo did you say Tectonya? She's in her office? Zelda/Penny/Whoever told us about her when they were talking about their adventures! She's trustworthy, has a responsibility to the school, and Aguefort-level powerful! poo poo, let's go tell Tectonya everything that's happened this season.

I was genuinely expecting the end of that episode to be interfering with the wenis dance so Sam wouldn't kick the camera but I'm cool with how it ended. Gonna call my shot and say that the BTS will show that they had a contingency for that.

Next season they should do 30 minutes of really obvious repeating bits like that but then the twist is that it doesn't repeat, that's just the end. Definitely put Brennan on that one

Great episode, and all the VHS static effects (and corrupted name plaques) were a lot of fun. I do wonder if there was an alternate ending scenario gamed out where someone just tackles Sam so he can't kick the camera.

The crew member/performer with the camera would probably just be 'startled' and drop it. I did see someone on Reddit suggest that the group could've washed/found a fork for Grant, and I'd suspect that was a contingency Sam prepared.

Trapp also posted on Reddit that he was thinking the show was going to be about memory but not in the way it ended up, but more remembering stuff like "what did Siobhan say for her wrong answer in round 1", "what did Sam mess up during his intro" kind of things.

I was also thinking there had to be a trick to the clown. Like, his shoes were just as black and glossy as the balloons, maybe you can to pop his shoe and the prize would be in that? One random element isn't the end of the world, though.
