Holiday Specialtacular 2017: Jackbox Nipping at Your Toes

It is mind blowing because it has been going on for damn near a decade and if someone is still complaining about it by now I don't understand it.

**Just looked at your account and see that you are fairly new. I have bad news for you that this is going to be a thing that happens in almost every single one of their videos.

I see we got some real Krabby Patties down here in the comments. I love watching GB Jackbox streams. Any large group co-op/competitive game stream is my jam since I don't get many chances to play them in my day-to-day life. Fakin' It is the best Jackbox game of all time. ALL TIME.

I love seeing them play Jackbox, especially here with everyone together. The only disappointment here is how little they played.

I find Fakin' It to be incredibly fun to watch, and it's probably the one Jackbox game I prefer viewing over playing much of the time (it can be stressful as a faker!)

I'd buy all the shirts and wear them to bed every night.

@metalsocks said:

Some bags with the jagged edges at the top are definitely easier to open that way. I'll sometimes do that with individual-sized bags that I intend to finish in one sitting.

In this case where it's a whole box of crackers and you're passing it around to other people, tearing it open and having its content spill out like that is pretty fucked.

Wish they had time to play more games, especially the faster paced games like Quiplash. Tee-KO has great payoff, but it also means about 20 minutes of this video was just everyone silently drawing/typing on their phones with nothing visually interesting happening on screen for the audience.

In regards to the eating on stream thing, it's not really a big deal for me, I'm more bothered by the crumpling of plastic bags right in front of their mics. It's a special kind of torture with headphones on.

@curryspiced: I'm with you man. I don't mind the snacking occasionally but sometimes it gets a bit much.

I wish this was like 2 or more hours.

@curryspiced: “I do not understand how/why they are constantly eating while trying to do a show.”

You’re new here, aren’t you? The proto-Bombcast included a segment where they drank ridiculous beverages. They’ve always had a habit of eating or drinking stuff in their shows. This is completely on-brand.

I'm not the one that I upset with this. Just pointing out that it has been part of their thing for as long as the site as been around. It has never personally annoyed me but for a while it felt like Jeff did try reigning it in as Ryan looked to be the one that was way more against it but it slipped by often and after Ryan it has become much more of a thing....at least from my point of view but could be wrong.

I'm glad you decided to be part of the community more but you are going to have a rough time if this is the battle you pick as it will be often.

I appreciate that, I'm glad to be contributing more to the community. I really didn't intend for it to be a battle, although I'm sure my initial sarcastic response to you which was meant to be jokey came off as my being a jerk, so my apology was genuine.

I was honestly trying to avoid being a jerk by not singling any one crew member out by name that I tend to find really distracting when they are eating on camera, as most of the crew are very respectful about it. I wouldn't even had brought it up if Vinny hadn't seemed upset on a recent Mario Sunshine saying he thought they agreed to not snack on set when Abby brought popcorn in to Dan on the show.

jesus christ Ben, you monster. that bag had a family.

@curryspiced: The Mario Sunshine thing in particular was directed at one specific video from the series where there was another back and forth in the comments sections between people that complained about the eating and the white knights that jumped in to defend. For the record, I believe I was the first comment then that wasn't a fan of the eating. For the record, I could care less if they eat or drink during a stream, and it didn't bother me here in the least, but in that particular video two of the crew were chewing popcorn directly into the microphones and repeatedly talking with their mouths full, which to me personally is disgusting. I bowed out of the conversation after that because, as always with differing opinions, some people got really nasty to defend whatever their chosen soapbox was.

I doubt Vinny was actually upset in any way, and it was more of just a reference to a particular comments thread like they sometime make. Also, in laid back, "hang out" streams like this I find it much less of a big deal or distraction than in more focused features like Sunshine

"Y'all ain't shit"

Perfect.

@johnymyko: I'm with you, especially since with the Jackbox games there's a ton of down time before anything happens. Not as an point as last year's videos were.

this is the prequel to the VR video with that box chips being open

The only jack box game I have never understood is the shirt one, and I especially don’t get why it’s their favourite. Maybe it’s an American thing but I don’t get why it is supposed to be funny, are the shirts some big reference I am missing? Is it only funny when you are participating? I finally get how the scoring works but that doesn’t seem to ultimately matter much either.

Always got time for some GBJB.

He. Is. STILL. A. THREAT.

THESE GUYS ARE MY FRIENDS IF THEY'RE NOT EATING THEN IM NOT FUCKING EATING

agree that this was a weak episode, the t-shirt part was good but the faker part was boring as hell, its a bad game to watch people play....and I think people are complaining a little much about the chips

TKO is fun but it sure takes 15 minutes of setup and wastes 80% of the contributions.

link to shirts?

It looks like Ben wrote down the link for shirts. I need that buttmaster shirt.

Link's now been added to the video notes: http://games.jackbox.tv/artifact/TeeKOGame/VZ5Jv2GJEmKqIUGk5va5PV1009xuIw3h/

It's the idea of the image and text combined being a funny/ridiculous thing to wear as a shirt in public. Not sure how else to explain it.

My bad, I bought these for them after the convo during the PUBG win where Abby said she'd never had CIAB.

Hey, this video is tagged to the wrong game. Jackbox 3 is the one with the TKO and all that.
