Thursday Night Throwdown: 05/16/2013

The announcer of these games needs slapped for his voice.

YEAH DREW. YEAH PRISON BREAK.

Thanks Community for letting me get the Jehovah's Witness birthday question!

Also, shame on Brad for not knowing Oz. And implying that it is something crazy obscure that no one could possibly know.

One of the best TNTs in a VERY long time. Thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Surprise visits from Karen are some of the best! Also, she killed it with that very last bit (thanks!).

Nice.

Karen's the best! Fun'gineering's bringing the 'fun' in 'engineering' back!

What?

I know Ed Hardy's son. He's also a tattoo artist and is also a really cool guy.

Man this was the best TNT ins a long time. Also Karen is probably the coolest person.

Great TNT, Drew buzzing Vinny had me in stitches. Also Karen is awesome.

Almost as good as the Fortune Street TNT.

Oh man Patrick trolling the set from the control room more often can only be a good thing.

This is the best website on the internet.

I think Zap Game with Karen should be a weekly feature. Subscribers only.

Best, most entertaining TNT so far! Great show!!!

BECAUSE IT'S THE PLOT OF PRETTY WOMAN, COME ON KAREN! Lol.

My life would be much worse without this website.

HAHAHA

Karen: What is even going on?

This show was a lot of fun, I love You Don't Know Jack.

Karen was fun too, although - and this isn't to cast any aspersions on her character or anything, she seems like a nice person - but man do I hate watching people who play videogames trying and failing to teach people who could obviously care less. Maybe I just do enough of that myself, in my own life, but there was a good 5 minute section of this video that was giving me acid reflux

"The shock goes from 1 to 4, what do you want to set it to?"

Karen: "Four"

Vinny's reaction to this is priceless.

Man I was afraid we were never going to see Karen again after Dave left. I'm glad I was wrong.

Karen rules.

So many good moments. I almost died when brad didn't think before he spoke and started to explain how karen could "screw" them. Oh god the poorly chosen way that was explained had me in tears. Poor brad. The end was amazing too. Lesson here is Karen needs to be around more. Sober Karen. Drunk Karen starts to get a little bit grating.

karen is the worlds best fungineer

Anyone have pics of Brad's college hair??

Watched this on my Roku in my living room. TNTs in the living room in full HD are the wave of the future, people. Amazing show.

this , the cards against humanity and the brad mire retrospective are my fav tnt's

I usually don't comment on TNTs, but this one was a real winner.

I haven't laughed this hard at a video in a while. Karen is so sweet! And Brad's "If you want to...screw...one of us..." Hahaha. Loved it.

I like how I can now leave videos paused for more than 30 minutes without out having them reset when I press play. I can't be the only one who doesn't watch Giant Bomb streams in one sitting, right?

Karen is awesome.

holy cow such a good ending

You aren't. I've been watching this over the course of a few days and it has been constantly resetting.

@apocalypselater: Well up until about a week ago videos rest on me all the time too but it doesn't happen anymore. I even turn my computer off and on again and the video is still where it was. Could be browser specific? I'm on the latest version of Chrome.

That could not have ended better

I feel like I've been duped.

This TNT was great so after seeing all the comments comparing it to the Fortune Street one I went and watched the whole thing (all 3 hours 22 minutes of it!) expecting to be thoroughly entertained - and it was boring! Right up until the end I kept thinking "Ok something hilarious is bound to happen soon.." but it never did.

Why do people hold the Fortune Street TNT in such high regard??

@bakoomerang said:

It was funny more due to "Wow, they have never committed to playing a TNT for so long", and all of the ups and downs as the guys actually got kind of competitive about it, despite having a poor idea of how the game worked. But yeah, there REALLY isn't any particular moment that is laugh-out-loud funny.

I think it was far more entertaining live, in the way that some comedians work much better live because part of their act is "oh geeze, how long can this guy keep saying this outrageous thing in front of an entire theater of people". People should probably stop recommending the Fortune Street TNT as like "best ever", because it really doesn't have the same appeal now that it is a static event with no live chat (people in the chat got really into district loyalties, and believing that certain players could save certain districts).

You had to be there.

Even if this video is a few weeks old, I still must comment and express my appreciation for Giant Bomb's continued support of fungineering.

The best TNT.

Who is this Karen?

That Ryan Davis death stare.... oh man

The ending to this is a classic.

The ending is amazing.

great ending, brad so ready to end it hahahaa

"Do you like Trivia?"

"Eh, kind of"

"That was a trivia question. That's wrong."

Love Vinny.

Oh man. I'm so glad they have This Day in Giant Bomb history. Also, I'm glad I watched this all the way to the end. Classic. Miss you, Ryan.
