Why do collectors keep Funko's in their box? Is it: A) To keep them in Mint condition B) The box is nice C) To retain resale value WRONG. It's D) Cause you'll forget what it's supposed to be and where it's from otherwise.
I have exactly one Funko and it's Peebee from Mass Effect Andromeda (still pissed they didn't make one of Vetra), who's easily recognizable at least. And I only took it out of its box because some walnut at Amazon decided to ship it in a plastic bag, so the box got all smashed up in the post.
Why do they even need to buy any licenses? I'm pretty sure they can win any copyright lawsuit by claiming that their designs have nothing to do with any IP.
They certainly should do make BarshensPops. Just because Ashens hates them so, someone needs to make and send him an AshensPop. He will probably set it on fire on the couch, but that would be hilarious.
I guessed a few of these correctly, Ashens didn't even pick the worst ones! There are so many more that are utterly unrepresentative of their character.
True. Basically everytime I see those in shops or conventions I go through this process of "there's so many, and I have so many fandoms, there's *got* to be a good one among those." Call me picky but I don't even own one single Funko pop xD They are not worth any money.
The only one I've ever even remotely been tempted to get is Stitch. The Pop eyes work fairly well for him. The worst one I've seen in person is Shrek. Although the pictures I've seen of Donkey, Dory, and Ursula, to give a few examples, are absolutely awful.
Well I've seen Stranger Things, Sherlock, Supernatural, and The Goonies. I didn't get any of those characters. I did somehow manage to guess the Jessica Jones one purely from thinking "hmmm... what's popular right now and maybe has a female lead? Well I've heard of that 'Jessica Jones' thing recently."
It look more like Mulder than the real Mulder Funko except the real one has the FBI badge. But if someone mention Sam from Supernatural it's clear to me that it's not Mulder.
1. Jessica Jones? Yesssss 2. Uhh, no idea.... Dennis from Sunny? Damn... 3. Definitely the scientist guy from Stranger Things. Yup. 4. Never seen Mad Men but... Don Draper? Damn. 5. Gus from Psych? Damn... 6. Office Space guy? Damn... 7. John Travolta's character from Pulp Fiction? Damn... 8. Michael Bluth from Arrested Development? YESSSS 9. Some Kevin Spacey character? Whaaaat. 10. Zero ideas. Bonus. Got nothing. 3/11 Damn you Funko.
I recognized Moriarty and Jack Crawford by the hairline alone. strangely they seem to have pretty similar ones. Also Jack's posture and the shirt/tie aesthetic of the series helped a bit. Corleone's funko pop is an insult in plastic figurine form.
Fiorina Artworks I've never seen Sherlock nor Hannibal so I wasn't too sad I didn't guess 'em. Agree with you about Corleone! Also, love your choice of Mugi avatar, best eyebrows
Never realized how funny Barry fixating on Jessica Jones’ legs is… oh, and Stuart very obviously getting less enthusiastic after the right answer is said but then someone else makes another wrong guess.
My first thought too. I have seen Stranger Things actually, but the bad guy never left an impression on me. even when Stuart said who it was I barely remembered him.
Jessica Jones was the only one I got, although I didn't know who most of the other characters are. When Barry said "where do they come from", am I the only one who thought Stuart was going to say "where do they go, where do they come from cotton eye Joe" :-)
It's because of these bloody things that it's so hard to get decent figures. The TV and movie shop in Norwich basically only sells these types of figures these days.
12:25 ... Knew it right away before he even said anything, the "I had to remove a logo from the shirt to not make it obvious" I was 100% certain. There is no mistaking Dan Nerdcubed, just waiting for him to come back from his break watching some of his old content in the mean time to fill in the space the lack of his episodes have left.
10:24 - Michael Bluth's hair never looks like that! I legitimately thought the figure might be Dean Winchester, though that seemed like too much of a coincidence right after Sam. A big issue Funko runs into with the "live action" figures is that rarely do live action shows have characters who stay in the same outfit all the time, like a cartoon character might, so they don't have a recognizable outfit, and when you can't go off of face, all you literally have is hair!
Yeah, the hair triggered me a little towards Dean too, but he actually does have a significant outfit (grey t-shirt, green jacket and jeans) so it couldn't be him. He did wear once a fantastic looking grey suit as a fake FBI agent but I'm not about to fangirl here or anything ^^
At one point I thought someone had broke the knife off my Dean from Supernatural Funko, turned out Dean had just fell and next to him was Angel from Buffy that I forgot I had! They look hella similar!
jessica jones,mouth,really old piers brosnan,pee wee herman,candy man,one of those workaholics i only know as i saw the ad,sam whinchester,vanila ice trying to get a job nowadays,agent colesan,no clue,nerd cube dan, i didnt do to bad lol
On #3, i saw the grey hair and the suit and immediately thought that was Alfred from Batman--> 04:20. I thought the next one was Bruce Wayne ---> 05:23
I'll never understand the Funko Pops. Although at least the Sam Winchester ones are in fact marginally identifiable thanks to the relative rarity of long hair and the side burns - the Dean Winchester ones are just bloody hopeless.
I love how all of the photos look like clip art
"Funko POOOOOOOPS" I'm dying of laughter, it came out so heartfelt
No. You're NOT dying
@@defs8073 we're all dying a little bit every day
Why do collectors keep Funko's in their box? Is it:
A) To keep them in Mint condition
B) The box is nice
C) To retain resale value
WRONG. It's D) Cause you'll forget what it's supposed to be and where it's from otherwise.
D is the only answer TBH
E) So the can't eat your soul in the middle of the night.
I have exactly one Funko and it's Peebee from Mass Effect Andromeda (still pissed they didn't make one of Vetra), who's easily recognizable at least. And I only took it out of its box because some walnut at Amazon decided to ship it in a plastic bag, so the box got all smashed up in the post.
@@rolfs2165easily recognizable? I have no idea who that person is 😂
Oh you naive, soulless goober.@Dante2056
Ashens invented a game just to illustrate how generic funko pops are. I love it.
Now all we need is a Funko Pop Station to complete the cycle
Why do they even need to buy any licenses? I'm pretty sure they can win any copyright lawsuit by claiming that their designs have nothing to do with any IP.
Yeah, but you can make more money by slapping the official logo on the box. ;)
they only license them to put the logo and name on the box, so people know what the hell it is
You can't put their name on the box....
Can someone please update the Eli Silverman soundboard to add "FUNKOOOO POPS!".
This is why people keep them in the box.
Not so they "retain their value" but so people can tell what the hell they are.
I can say with certainty that Eli spitting upon Jon Oliver for any reason is enough to fully make my day
6:10 Paul's reaction had me in pieces on the floor.
They certainly should do make BarshensPops.
Just because Ashens hates them so, someone needs to make and send him an AshensPop.
He will probably set it on fire on the couch, but that would be hilarious.
It would just explode from his seething hatred.
The Simon Pegg one looks just like Stuart
I could befriend anyone over a mutual hatred of funko pops.
Hey friend!
That's like saying you like clouds, I'm fairly sure everyone does.
Funko POOOOoOPPs *leaves my body*
Rip Stuart's sanity after compiling these pictures
Just looking at them makes me want to funko pop some cyanide
Da Komrade! nice one! (hands you an Internet award)
They actually censored "The Phantom Menace". LOL
I was wondering what that was about
They always do.
Kinda pathetic at this point
- "That's a guy!"
- "Well done!"
My favorite part
The only reason I have to feel even slightly attached to these little hell dolls is that their great big rectangle heads resemble my own
I guessed a few of these correctly, Ashens didn't even pick the worst ones! There are so many more that are utterly unrepresentative of their character.

Fiorina Artworks I have one, Princess Bubblegum. It's one of the more unique sculpts and I feel it accurately depicts her chibi likeness.
The only one I've ever even remotely been tempted to get is Stitch. The Pop eyes work fairly well for him. The worst one I've seen in person is Shrek. Although the pictures I've seen of Donkey, Dory, and Ursula, to give a few examples, are absolutely awful.
Demint Monroe ah, I've never come across that one, she might work. Mostly I see the ones based on humans, and they are spectacularly bland.
This is good news maybe there will be a Round 2!
Instantly recognised the Sam Winchester one. It's actually very much like him, especially if you could see the sideburns better.
I want a Slepp Funko Pop
Slepp is not limited to a mortal, physical form. To gaze upon Slepp is to go insane.
So his true form is a Funko Pop then?
If a Slepp Funko Pop were made, a new age of darkness and despair would begin and the Universe would begin to decay.
grass mask funko pop pls
I want an Eli Silverman Funko Pop
Well I've seen Stranger Things, Sherlock, Supernatural, and The Goonies. I didn't get any of those characters.
I did somehow manage to guess the Jessica Jones one purely from thinking "hmmm... what's popular right now and maybe has a female lead? Well I've heard of that 'Jessica Jones' thing recently."
Eli's 'Middle Earth'-like rage over poorly-made Funko Pops is a thing of beauty.
Legitimately thought Undercover Sam was Agent Mulder from The X Files.
It look more like Mulder than the real Mulder Funko except the real one has the FBI badge. But if someone mention Sam from Supernatural it's clear to me that it's not Mulder.
+Grimlock2012 ditto, surprised nobody said it even if it was wrong.
Same!
It's just Sam Cosplaying Mulder. It's actually VERY deep
"Where do they come from?" "Hell"
And with that goes any thoughts I had about this being sponsored
1. Jessica Jones? Yesssss
2. Uhh, no idea.... Dennis from Sunny? Damn...
3. Definitely the scientist guy from Stranger Things. Yup.
4. Never seen Mad Men but... Don Draper? Damn.
5. Gus from Psych? Damn...
6. Office Space guy? Damn...
7. John Travolta's character from Pulp Fiction? Damn...
8. Michael Bluth from Arrested Development? YESSSS
9. Some Kevin Spacey character? Whaaaat.
10. Zero ideas.
Bonus. Got nothing.
3/11 Damn you Funko.
for number 5 I immediately thought it was Gus too. Its pretty rare to find someone else that watches pysch.
I wish there was Always Sunny ones I would definitely buy.
I recognized Moriarty and Jack Crawford by the hairline alone. strangely they seem to have pretty similar ones. Also Jack's posture and the shirt/tie aesthetic of the series helped a bit.
Corleone's funko pop is an insult in plastic figurine form.
Benedict Lim I loved watching Psych cause it was clever and hilarious, was really bummed when it ended... I miss having my Lassie fix :(
Fiorina Artworks I've never seen Sherlock nor Hannibal so I wasn't too sad I didn't guess 'em. Agree with you about Corleone! Also, love your choice of Mugi avatar, best eyebrows
This was a fun episode to play along with! I'd definitely like to see a sequel to this video.
My favourite funko pop I saw was a chuck from the film castaway holding Wilson
Quiz kinda videos like this and the Pokemon one that time are by far the best on the channel
"Dear Barshens,
we would like to make you all as funko pop bobble heads.
From, Funko Pop."
You wouldn't even be able to tell Stuart and Barry apart if they were Funko Pops. Or Paul for that matter.
I'd still buy them
0:29
Barry: Where did they come from?
Stuart: Hell!
Me: Well, that escalated quickly.
Slepp: Just as I planned.
Should definitely do a part 2!
Never realized how funny Barry fixating on Jessica Jones’ legs is… oh, and Stuart very obviously getting less enthusiastic after the right answer is said but then someone else makes another wrong guess.
Well done Paul! Always nice to see you on camera, love everyones chemistry together!
Why doesn't this have more views? This channel is amazing!
I got the 7:45 one, how the hell did I get that one I maybe saw that show once in passing.
Yes, Barry, they do have many many musicians covered. From the Beatles to Ozzie to David Bowie
I thought the third one was Peter Capaldi for some reason
RichardPlaysStuff Same here actually. Funnily enough.
RichardPlaysStuff same
My first thought too. I have seen Stranger Things actually, but the bad guy never left an impression on me. even when Stuart said who it was I barely remembered him.
I thought he was Alfred Pennyworth
That's actually a rather good guess.
I thought Undercover Sam was going to be John Travolta in Pulp Fiction
That is EXACTLY what I thought and I was genuinely blown away when it wasn't
After he said Undercover Sam, I could kind of see it, but ya it did at first look more like John Travolta from Pulp Fiction.
Roasty Bunz same
I thought it was David Duchoveny as Agent Mulder.
I thought it was Saul from Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul.
this is quite possibly the best video i never knew could even happen
I could not guess any of these, it was just a bunch of dudes in suits with rather generic hair styles. Their ability to guess at all amazes me.
Stuart your knowledge of the band Steps and it's members is outstanding!
Jessica Jones was the only one I got, although I didn't know who most of the other characters are. When Barry said "where do they come from", am I the only one who thought Stuart was going to say "where do they go, where do they come from cotton eye Joe" :-)
Yes you were.
Mark Caswell i got Jessica Jones, workoholics, arrested development and stranger things.
Im still 90% sure that John Oliver Funko Pop is actually Colin Firths Character from Kingsman
That was my guess too.
Mark Caswell I thought Jessica Jones was Lara croft in her civilian clothes from Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Wow! This game is a clear allegory to my face blindness! Woah!
I cannot believe I guessed that workaholics one. These figures are like the tiniest single characteristic that barely defines them.
Yusss been waiting for this all week.
It's because of these bloody things that it's so hard to get decent figures. The TV and movie shop in Norwich basically only sells these types of figures these days.
The last one was clearly just the Bruce Wayne one that didn't sell well so got repackaged.
i need a whole season of this show right now.
7:50 - IT'S MATT SMITH! Somebody look at that and tell me it's not Matt bloody Smith... 😂
finally someone said it! I've seen Supernatural dozens of times but that is still Matt Smith xD I wonder if the Doctor Who figurine looks the same.
Whenever in the history of Dr. Who has Matt Smith worn a long tie, instead of a bow-tie?
Good to see Barshens back to just the original two (well, kind of - but you know.)
I got a worrying number of these including the Jack Crawford one.
Saying Sam had soulless eyes is very accurate for a while
Wow, that Corey Feldman one. They didn't even TRY to get the hair right. I seriously thought it was Xander with a stake.
"I don't think it's anything" - Eli 2017, he sums up everything to do with Funko Pops
There is something about these Funko Pops that reminds me of that Blank Room Soup video.
Loved this episode please do more
Paul Gannon is very good at this. How shameful.
12:06 Lmao!
We need more of this quiz. There are some really shitty ones out there that didnt end up on the list.
Slight popping and static in the audio (example at 2:40), Faulty cable?
'Hit is from the bottom'
That is an underappreciated joke right there
12:25 ... Knew it right away before he even said anything, the "I had to remove a logo from the shirt to not make it obvious" I was 100% certain. There is no mistaking Dan Nerdcubed, just waiting for him to come back from his break watching some of his old content in the mean time to fill in the space the lack of his episodes have left.
The Rock Candy and Ruby Vixen lines are pretty good!
I need more of these videos.
Despite not being very familiar with Jessica Jones, I actually got the first one right 😂 I'm so proud of myself.
10:24 - Michael Bluth's hair never looks like that! I legitimately thought the figure might be Dean Winchester, though that seemed like too much of a coincidence right after Sam.
A big issue Funko runs into with the "live action" figures is that rarely do live action shows have characters who stay in the same outfit all the time, like a cartoon character might, so they don't have a recognizable outfit, and when you can't go off of face, all you literally have is hair!
Yeah, the hair triggered me a little towards Dean too, but he actually does have a significant outfit (grey t-shirt, green jacket and jeans) so it couldn't be him.
He did wear once a fantastic looking grey suit as a fake FBI agent but I'm not about to fangirl here or anything ^^
To be fair, Barry probably wouldn't recognize the actual characters.
All of these pops look like random people the designer saw in cafe
This video was a brilliant idea, well done guys
11:27 I thought it was Richard Osman!
I thought the one at 7:53 was Tyrell Wellick from Mr Robot and it actually looks more like him than what its supposed to look like.
At one point I thought someone had broke the knife off my Dean from Supernatural Funko, turned out Dean had just fell and next to him was Angel from Buffy that I forgot I had! They look hella similar!
I thought John Oliver was Woody Allen.
Mihovil Beck same!
I thought it was Chris Evans, former host of Top Gear.
I thought it was Joe Pasquale
I was absolutely convinced it was Coulson from Agents of SHIELD
Mihovil Beck I thought it was Alan Carr
The John Oliver ones doesn't even have the right hair color
My Funko pops have yet to eat me.
jessica jones,mouth,really old piers brosnan,pee wee herman,candy man,one of those workaholics i only know as i saw the ad,sam whinchester,vanila ice trying to get a job nowadays,agent colesan,no clue,nerd cube dan, i didnt do to bad lol
I thought the John Oliver one was Gary (Eggsy) from Kingsman!
This channel is great.
I was able to get 2. Sam Winchester and Nerdcubed. I thought the Sam one was very easy, but I do love Supernatural.
I'll play along;
1. Jessica Jones Netflix
2. Noope
3. No idea.
4. no
5. noooo
6. no
7. Sam winchester
8. no
9. noo
10. I give up
you should do another one of these
On #3, i saw the grey hair and the suit and immediately thought that was Alfred from Batman--> 04:20. I thought the next one was Bruce Wayne ---> 05:23
Do more, so fun to play
Definitely covers music, there are about 3 different versions of the group My Chemical Romance and a few different Elvis ones etc.
Gorillaz were also supposed to have a line Metallica has a line my cousin has all of them I want an MCR one
Is there an Ed sheeran one?
There's definitely one of Joey Ramone, and I wouldn't be surprised if the other main four are available as well.
That was fun. Do it again!
11:20 i thought that looked more like Eggsy from Kingsmen.
12:06 very surprised that wasn't the sound you put at the end of the video.
barry brings back banter before barshens bangs bananas backwards.
its never easy to end these things. lmao.
The "Mike Bluth from Arrested Development" one looks for all the world like Agent Cody Banks from that dumb kids movie
There are some characters that actually make pretty endearing funko pops but real life humans are not one of them
Can't wait for the funko pop the movie !!
Film, TV, Anime, Gaming and MUSIC, is what FUNKO Pop's cover including Presidents and sports
I'll never understand the Funko Pops. Although at least the Sam Winchester ones are in fact marginally identifiable thanks to the relative rarity of long hair and the side burns - the Dean Winchester ones are just bloody hopeless.
The second one didn't even have the same hair or shirt or jacket that Corey Feldman had in The Goonies - CHRIST!
I love that intro 😃
'I'd rather not have a bowl of Funko Pops' - to bastardise one of Kelloggs' marketing slogans.
"Now he looks like a gentleman of colour"
Stuart is confused....
I have a “Lemmy from Motörhead”, so I guess they “do” music?! 😝
"if you have more than 3 in your house they will actually eat you in the night"
*looks at 4 hunger games funko pops*
....seems appropriate
Barry's Mum ... MILF 1
XD
acidhelm I can confirm this is true
I love that profile pic. Black Country and proud!
8:08 I just thought it was Fox Mulder.
everyday i miss u more and more.............
