The new Link's Awakening still looks like it's made by animating badly made Lego Duplo playsets. I guess I'll upgrade my old copy by playing it on the GameBoy Player...
He does this thing where he just rolls and rolls the joke while everyone cracks up around him, and as soon as they get over the last one he rolls it again, all while just sitting there with this goofy grin on his face. It's amazing.
That whole Backstreet Boys section was surprisingly good. Andy’s spot on version of The Call, Ellen’s fantastic Backstreets Back dance and those I Want It That Way harmonies...top work. Top. Work.
I generally go out of my way to avoid anything backstreet boys (other than parodies like slashstreet boys), but if anything can get me genuinely interested in backstreet boys it's Ellen and Andy singing backstreet boys songs.
andy and ellen bounce off each other so well. I love luke and ellen but sometimes they're both so wholesome its overwhelming. the contrast of andy's underlying cynicism to ellens pure joy is hilarious and perfect.
They play games and review them for a living. Why are they reviewing a Netflix reboot of an 80s cartoon? I'm cynical. This smells like Netflix came and begged them to boost viewership. I tried to get my kid to kid watch it and he refused. This kid watches MLP, so if he says he hates it that's enough for me.
We loved He-man and She-Ra when we were kids. Transformers, and GI-Joe too. Later, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So many hours of fun watching the shows and playing with the toys. 😄😊😌
I was managing a "Buy/Sell/Trade" new & used CD/DVD place back when System of a Down was first starting to get big. My friend and co-worker (who fronted a death metal band) says "What if I told you the Backstreet Boys had an amazing song?" to which I said "You'd be lying". 2 weeks later we were still listening to "The Call" a dozen times a day.
@21:27 Outside Xtra in a nutshell. Andy: "How do you attach bits of Play Doe to one another? It's impossible!" Ellen: *throws up her hands and give the camera a look as if to say "Finally someone understands my struggles!"*
"Aw jeez Rick, I don't think I can defeat Ganon!" "Not with that attitude you can't: it's d[burp]aangerus to go alone, so take this fairy." "HEY! LISTEN! I'M MR NAVI LOOK AT ME!"
I love these moments of non-gaming (or only gaming-adjacent) chat. Music, films, TV shows, board games, other hobbies generally - the entire OX crew are simply interesting, erudite and entertaining people all round.
Omg that LightBoy advertisement brought back memories. It added so much more bulk and battery eating to the Gameboy but it was the only way to play on road trips or if you wanted to stay up late playing without tipping your parents off.
England continues its habit of calling common items by weird names, but it is heartwarming that the childhood tradition of eating play doh is universal.
I'm just gonna say, Ellen saved my life. Kinda. I got really depressed once and had my first panic attack. I didn't know how to deal with it at the time, and it wasn't going away. Every thought I had was sad, and I was finding it hard to breath. I remember seeing Shera on netflix home page, and thought I recognise it somewhere, and thought, why not. It allowed me to have a few laughs which got me past my panic attack. Now I know why I recognise it. It's coz Ellen recommended it on show of the weekend. Thank you Ellen, I love She-Ra and the princess of power so much!!!
Me during the Link modeling section: Maybe Andy's doing a good job, I mean it looks simple enou- *Andy shows Link's head* OHGODSENDITBACKTOTHECONFINESOFHEDOUBLEHOCKEYSTICK
As an employee of a certain corporate online giant, I can't express how much I appreciate Andy's "Planet of Amazon Prime where everyone is evil" quip. Absolutely brilliant. Cheers.
Technically, Prudence's horns are diabolical, not demonic, as Tieflings are such due to an ancient pact with Asmondeus, the Arch-Devil; and demons are different to devils, apparently.
Not sure what was colder the AMAZING Backstreet Boys medleys or the death stare Andy gave the camera when Play-Doh Link's head came off. Either way, I got chills
i think that Link turned out great, as long as he keep his head on. Oxtra's art and crafts are always great, can we get a live stream of just them making arts and crafts
If Link can keep his head when all about him Are losing theirs and blaming it on him, If LInk can trust himself when all men doubt him, But make allowance for their doubting, too, If link can wait and not be tired by waiting, And being lied about won't deal in lies, And being hated won't give way to hating, And yet not look too good nor talk too wise, If Link can dream, and not make dreams his master, If he can think, and not make thoughts his aim, If Link can meet with Triumph and Disaster, And treat those two impostors just the same, If Link can bear to hear the truth he's spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things he gave his life to broken, And stoop to build them up again with worn-out tools, If Link can make one heap of all his winnings, And bet it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose and start again at his beginnings And never breathe a word about his loss, If Link can force his heart and nerve and sinew To serve his turn long after they are gone, On PS4 and XBox One and Wii-U, With just the will that says to them: "Hold on!" If Link can talk with crowds and keep his virtue, Or walk with Kings nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends make Link blue, If all men count with him, but none too much, If Link can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds worth of distance run, His are the world and all things in it, And what is more: he'll be Doom Guy, my son!
ooohh i used to watch Bravestar, but my favorite was Pirates of Dark Water. and i almost shouted "nine-nine!" when they started singing i want it that way. hilarious SotW guys!
Yeah, probably with Monstar and his goons becomming a metaphor for Mexican immigrants and the Silverhawks for the border patrol... Nope. I have no faith in remakes of 80's IPs these days.
My cat was spellbound by the Link sculpting segment. I'm not sure what it was, but he had his nose to the screen the entire time. Made it particularly funny when Arthur!Link demanded Ganon look into his eyes!
I would like the Andy saying I love you on random phone calls to be a recurring bit. The escape room moment and here were hilarious. Loved the entire episode, you guys are a riot! xD
Andy and Ellen singing Backstreet boys just made my weekend. Also, great version of the call Andy, such an underrated song. Your videos are always a great break from studying
I remember reading the extended version of The Stand, it was so heavy that it significantly ripped several times when I foolishly tried to hold it with one hand in the wrong place! 😢 I feel your pain Andy.
How about songs from Luke's album? I'm 90% sure he wouldn't try to sue the channel in a perhaps not that well thought out revenge for Andy's Mario Sunshine slander. ...80% sure.
Ellen's keen of pain/frustration/amusement/??? when Andy held up Link's clay torso should be harnessed as her own ultra-combo - I felt it resonate deep in my soul...
I used to have an Optimus Prime toy that had batteries and a folding down tube that came out of his back. And when you turned it on and talked with the tube in your mouth it changed your voice to kinda sound like Optimus prime. It was awesome. It was called the Ultra Magnus Electronic Voice Synthesizer.

Happy weekend! On this week's show we take a look at a couple of recent reboots - She-Ra and Link's Awakening! Plus your comments and more!
Outside Xtra hey!!!
Merilwin : Tell Luke that is not proper Sindarin.
No boos for the puns? Guess Andy only likes the ones that he does best, which is a clear case of favoritism...
Can we change Link's name to Round Boi now?
The new Link's Awakening still looks like it's made by animating badly made Lego Duplo playsets.
I guess I'll upgrade my old copy by playing it on the GameBoy Player...
Man Andy is hilarious in that episode. I mean he is in general, but he was on point here !
He does this thing where he just rolls and rolls the joke while everyone cracks up around him, and as soon as they get over the last one he rolls it again, all while just sitting there with this goofy grin on his face. It's amazing.
And singing Backstreet Boy....🙃
Saw this comment at the start of the video, watched it, can now confirm this is true.
Its the Ellen effect.
Andy’s harmonising during I Want It That Way blew my mind. When’s the official outside xbox/xtra band?
Thought the same thing
Right?! He and Luke are amazing!
Pretty sure andy used to be in a band, and luke had his albums
I agree. I always enjoy the snippets of him singing. I’m hoping for a lot of his famous fear singing next month
Have them do a song with WhatCulture too!
That whole Backstreet Boys section was surprisingly good. Andy’s spot on version of The Call, Ellen’s fantastic Backstreets Back dance and those I Want It That Way harmonies...top work. Top. Work.
Andy and Ellen should do more karaoke on this channel :D
I heard them sing and i honestly think that there is people who are less talented in singing that have giant careers in the music industry....
I generally go out of my way to avoid anything backstreet boys (other than parodies like slashstreet boys), but if anything can get me genuinely interested in backstreet boys it's Ellen and Andy singing backstreet boys songs.
Even though it’s not Ellen and Andy try watching the one with Jane and Andy singing ducktales I still have that damn song stuck in my head
Oh wow! Everyone at Ring Con is dressed as Frodo wearing the ring.
Andy Serkis went as Smeagol.
Andy: you can write things in all caps? Thats obscene
Ellens shirt: PEOPLE LIKE GRAPES
Love the slow push in on Andy as he goes on a tangent about Hordak XD
andy and ellen bounce off each other so well. I love luke and ellen but sometimes they're both so wholesome its overwhelming. the contrast of andy's underlying cynicism to ellens pure joy is hilarious and perfect.
7:55 Woah woah woah, did Ellen just drop Tokyo Mew Mew in casual conversation! I thought I was the only person who watched that show, yes!
I loved Tokyo Mew Mew! My Christmas tree topper is a plushie of Zakuro.
Amazon Prime genuinely sounds like the sci-fi home planet of a race of warrior women.
Curmudgeonly Andy was the perfect person to try and explain the She-Ra reboot to.
Ellen and Andy singing backstreet boys, the thing I never knew I needed in life.
How about Sniper Luigi as a recruitable companion in Zelda?
YES
You cant recruit someone you cant see because YOU ARE DEAD.
They can actually carry a tune and Andy can harmonize!!
Props to Andy, he was on point this episode. Of course, having the holder of the world's most contagious laugh sitting besides you helps a bit.
'80's fever: Bringing back She-Ra, Thundercats, Margaret Thatcher, DDT, and the fear of nuclear annihilation.
Hey kids look it's Links twin brother Lonk!
/Links theme in off key kazoo/
Wow Andy has pretty good singing voice. Was genuinely surprised.
He was in a band!
For a man who loves Disneyland as much as Andy does, there was an awful lot of capitalism cynicism there 😅
An example of "don't hate the player, hate the game" perhaps?
He hates that he loves Disney so much. He's once on those self hating Disney lovers.
They play games and review them for a living. Why are they reviewing a Netflix reboot of an 80s cartoon?
I'm cynical. This smells like Netflix came and begged them to boost viewership.
I tried to get my kid to kid watch it and he refused. This kid watches MLP, so if he says he hates it that's enough for me.
@@beladendron maybe he views it as girly?
I now want to see a oxbox back street boys tribute band, make it happen.
Jessie Farrell Oxventure musical episode, anyone?
Andy: 'I'd put some good boos in there...not alcohol'
Also Andy: 'I want a spirit temple'
Are you sure this is not about booze?
Last week Doom Guy ripped people apart but look at him now. Karma...
Would some kind soul please gif them doing the Backstreets Boys dance?
I need it for reasons.
We loved He-man and She-Ra when we were kids. Transformers, and GI-Joe too. Later, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So many hours of fun watching the shows and playing with the toys. 😄😊😌
Thank you Ellen and Andy. I haven't laughed this much all week, although OXbox's Control let's play came close
I was managing a "Buy/Sell/Trade" new & used CD/DVD place back when System of a Down was first starting to get big. My friend and co-worker (who fronted a death metal band) says "What if I told you the Backstreet Boys had an amazing song?" to which I said "You'd be lying". 2 weeks later we were still listening to "The Call" a dozen times a day.
Wow, Credit where credit is due.. You both sing wonderfully!!
Ellen stopping what she's doing to smell the play doh is very Relatable
fucking. yes.
Well we just saw Andy brutally murder link. what did Link ever do to you Andy? was it the water levels?
He was still thinking about -F.L.O.O.D.- the thing that shall not be named.
My favorite Netflix animated program atm is The Dragon Prince.
Ellen's panicked... scream? at about 25 minutes in- now there's a mood! Great show as always guys.
Finally, a chance for Luke, LOTR nerd of OutsideXtra, to show his quality.
@21:27 Outside Xtra in a nutshell. Andy: "How do you attach bits of Play Doe to one another? It's impossible!" Ellen: *throws up her hands and give the camera a look as if to say "Finally someone understands my struggles!"*
Now that was fun. Can't believe that Andy and Ellen both forgot that dungeons and dragons was an 80s cartoon.
WHAT
Excuse me WHAT? I need the sauce on that
Yeah, but i doubt it helped sell D&D figurines... Or anything to be honest
Pleased tell me Luke was playing the LOTR OST on loop while he was on the plane over to New Zealand.😋
I’d seriously love ❤️ to hear more of your singing, you’ve got (both of you) beautiful signing voices
I think Luke or Andy would a perfect Bow. Jane is an obvious Catra. Ellen’s personality would be a great fit for Glimmer.
Andy’s singing is angelic! Like he’s so good! Harmony on point! I agree with the other comments please do a karaoke video :P
Andy's Link looks like he came out of Rick and Morty :D
Liiiink, come test my new invention liiink. [Burp] It's an ocarina of time Link
"Aw jeez Rick, I don't think I can defeat Ganon!"
"Not with that attitude you can't: it's d[burp]aangerus to go alone, so take this fairy."
"HEY! LISTEN! I'M MR NAVI LOOK AT ME!"
Hearing Andy sing “The Call” gave me life. Hearing him and Ellen harmonize completed it.
Thanks for this my wife is now singing every backstreet boys song at the top of her considerable lungs!
As soon as I heard "Dob Cat" the Love Shack beat started playing in my head too. XD
...I would watch a Radagast the Brown trilogy staring Luke...
The clay Link kind of looks like Hermey the elf from the 60s Rudolph The Red-nosed Reindeer special
13:15
We need proof Andy
Show us one of these karaokes
I can't believe the singing, both amazing singers! Plz lets us go see this karaoke night! Also the Link looked more like an elf from disenchantment!
Andy's humor is just amazing throughout
I love these moments of non-gaming (or only gaming-adjacent) chat. Music, films, TV shows, board games, other hobbies generally - the entire OX crew are simply interesting, erudite and entertaining people all round.
OMG Ellen and Andy singing "I want it that way" was fantastic. Now I NEED an OXtra karaoke night.
Omg that LightBoy advertisement brought back memories. It added so much more bulk and battery eating to the Gameboy but it was the only way to play on road trips or if you wanted to stay up late playing without tipping your parents off.
England continues its habit of calling common items by weird names, but it is heartwarming that the childhood tradition of eating play doh is universal.
I'm just gonna say, Ellen saved my life. Kinda. I got really depressed once and had my first panic attack. I didn't know how to deal with it at the time, and it wasn't going away.

Thank you Ellen, I love She-Ra and the princess of power so much!!!
Cat herding, lord of the rings and Zelda. Doesn't get any better. Cat drawing was spot on, this channel is 🐐!
Any's Link/Arthur Morgan sounds a lot like Andy's Paul Serene.
I named my first dog She-Ra, she was a beautiful golden retriever.
"I'm gonna get ya boah"
The famous Nintendo character link
Me during the Link modeling section: Maybe Andy's doing a good job, I mean it looks simple enou- *Andy shows Link's head* OHGODSENDITBACKTOTHECONFINESOFHEDOUBLEHOCKEYSTICK
As an employee of a certain corporate online giant, I can't express how much I appreciate Andy's "Planet of Amazon Prime where everyone is evil" quip. Absolutely brilliant. Cheers.
And now I demand Ellen and Andy to make a RUclips channel with them singing covers :D
I live for Ellen's pun game. Her laughter & God-tier puns are what makes my weekend.
Godzilla is Doomguy, Doomguy is Link, Link is Arthur Morgan,
Ergo Gozilla is Arthur Morgan.
I thought I was the only person who remembered The Call 😂
Technically, Prudence's horns are diabolical, not demonic, as Tieflings are such due to an ancient pact with Asmondeus, the Arch-Devil; and demons are different to devils, apparently.
Andy KILLING it at the Backstreet Boys.
Bravo.
"Is he Arthur Morgan now?!?!"
He was always Arthur Morgan, Ellen...Everyone is Arthur Morgan...EVERYONE...
Not sure what was colder the AMAZING Backstreet Boys medleys or the death stare Andy gave the camera when Play-Doh Link's head came off.
Either way, I got chills
i think that Link turned out great, as long as he keep his head on. Oxtra's art and crafts are always great, can we get a live stream of just them making arts and crafts
If Link can keep his head when all about him
Are losing theirs and blaming it on him,
If LInk can trust himself when all men doubt him,
But make allowance for their doubting, too,
If link can wait and not be tired by waiting,
And being lied about won't deal in lies,
And being hated won't give way to hating,
And yet not look too good nor talk too wise,
If Link can dream, and not make dreams his master,
If he can think, and not make thoughts his aim,
If Link can meet with Triumph and Disaster,
And treat those two impostors just the same,
If Link can bear to hear the truth he's spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things he gave his life to broken,
And stoop to build them up again with worn-out tools,
If Link can make one heap of all his winnings,
And bet it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose and start again at his beginnings
And never breathe a word about his loss,
If Link can force his heart and nerve and sinew
To serve his turn long after they are gone,
On PS4 and XBox One and Wii-U,
With just the will that says to them: "Hold on!"
If Link can talk with crowds and keep his virtue,
Or walk with Kings nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends make Link blue,
If all men count with him, but none too much,
If Link can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance run,
His are the world and all things in it,
And what is more: he'll be Doom Guy, my son!
great show of the weekend. . . loved the singing and dancing.
Andy's Link has the 1000 yard stare. He must have just left the OoT Water Temple...
Such a heartwarming sight, fair Ellen huffing Play Dough over and over.
ooohh i used to watch Bravestar, but my favorite was Pirates of Dark Water. and i almost shouted "nine-nine!" when they started singing i want it that way. hilarious SotW guys!
We love ya Ellen, didn't know your that cheeky (time stamp 21:23) Andy you have an awesome voice. Love you all ❤️❤️💙💙🇬🇧🇬🇧
19:45 'I'm Lonk from Pennsylvania.'
Need a gritty remake of Silverhawks. "wings of silver, nerves of steel"
Yeah, probably with Monstar and his goons becomming a metaphor for Mexican immigrants and the Silverhawks for the border patrol... Nope. I have no faith in remakes of 80's IPs these days.
My cat was spellbound by the Link sculpting segment. I'm not sure what it was, but he had his nose to the screen the entire time. Made it particularly funny when Arthur!Link demanded Ganon look into his eyes!
I would like the Andy saying I love you on random phone calls to be a recurring bit. The escape room moment and here were hilarious. Loved the entire episode, you guys are a riot! xD
I like that all one has to do to simulate New Zealand is simply find some green growth and stand next to it! ;-D
Maximum kudos on the BSB video editing to match Ellen and Andy’s vocals ;)
That transformation is SO Sailor Moon.
Andy and Ellen singing Backstreet boys just made my weekend. Also, great version of the call Andy, such an underrated song. Your videos are always a great break from studying
I remember reading the extended version of The Stand, it was so heavy that it significantly ripped several times when I foolishly tried to hold it with one hand in the wrong place! 😢 I feel your pain Andy.
16:25 "he does good work and he helps clean up" legit thought that was about Luke
finally some representation for the '93 kids ;u; thank u backstreet boys and link's awakening for giving us the recognition we DESERVE [confetti]
When you mentioned things trending I was half expecting someone to bring up the 'What is Momo!?!?' tweet.
Copyright is an issue, but I really want a Karaoke episode now. Also, that is the dentist from Rudolf.
Cornelius Yukon, a true hero and freedom fighter!
It's Herbie! His name is Herbie!
Gosh, why am I such a misfit?
How about songs from Luke's album? I'm 90% sure he wouldn't try to sue the channel in a perhaps not that well thought out revenge for Andy's Mario Sunshine slander.
...80% sure.
Oh I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought that.
I loved Bravestarr! I even called my horse in Red Dead Redemption 2 Thirty/Thirty 🖤
Memories of homemade dance routines are flooding back with a mere mention of Backstreet Boys. Get Another Boyfriend is a JAM.
I love it when they sing. :D I think we need a montage video of all singing moments! :D
Ellen's keen of pain/frustration/amusement/??? when Andy held up Link's clay torso should be harnessed as her own ultra-combo - I felt it resonate deep in my soul...
"He's practicing stealing his own hat" is that what Corazon spends his off time doing?
Andy and Ellen singing I Want It That Way on the purple sofa is a thing I didn't know I need in my life, just perfect.
19:40 Oh my goodness, Link's face! I cannot get enough of Link's face! XD XD XD XD
Excellent harmonizing, great product placement, unending giggles, arts and crafts! This episode is a veritable smorgasbord of classic OX content.
This is exactly the content i come here for - playdoh and singing
This episode gave me 90's nostalgia! Ahhhhh the game boy color and backstreet boys.
YES! The Call is an absolute belter of a tune! Good taste, Andy.
I used to have an Optimus Prime toy that had batteries and a folding down tube that came out of his back. And when you turned it on and talked with the tube in your mouth it changed your voice to kinda sound like Optimus prime. It was awesome. It was called the Ultra Magnus Electronic Voice Synthesizer.
Andys existence is great.
Thats.. a funny way of putting it! But oh yes absolutley
Andy's Beach Weapon of Choice: Brick It
+ How about a new attempt at a Cat Musical with the Cast Of the super cute OxCats from the fanart?
Andy is so insanely talented. ♥️
