Um, actually, in 3.5 edition, the Paladin mount is explicitly classified as not an animal. They are classified as a magical beast due to being of a celestial nature. This is an important distinction since it means that spells that specifically target animals (like Charm Animal) do not affect them.
2:22 "Squib" is, in fact, a slur. The Wizarding World is extremely racist, classist, and elitist, which is why it and Mudblood are in the common vernacular.
I mean, it's also all allegories for real life slurs/stereotypes. The goblins with big noses and greed are definitely a stand in for Jewish people, etc. It's honestly pretty terrible stuff to teach kids about people who are "other". Doesn't change that it was a phenomenon.
@@joshp8535 I mean to me that sounds like the kind of thing you see if you are already thinking about the "Jews have big noses and are greedy" propaganda. I'm thinking kids who read it wouldn't think "Jews", so much as "Funny goblin people".
@@optimisticgambler3616 yeah, you really can't trust dictionaries to be fully aware of all British slang. It's far too extensive and prone to localization.
Um actually, saying that the cat was Salem isn't 100% wrong. Once filming wrapped on Hocus Pocus, eventually the animatronic used for Binx was repurposed for use on the ABC adaptation of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. So Binx isn't Salem, but in a way, he BECOMES Salem!
I remembered Karen! But that was metagaming because I was like, "Why would they show him telling everyone the PA's name? They never do that". If I was on the show, I probably wouldn't remember.... I'm terrible with names :(
I'm bad with names, but Karren is a name that stands out. But at the time this was originally recorded it must not have been. Every guess Demi made I was thinking so close, and figured he would get it.
I thought it was weird for them to include it in the montage, since in every other episode before that they'd never show them being handed the boards or having them taken back, but didn't put more thought into it, just thought they wanted to make the video a bit longer for some reason or another.
In the studio, it probably happens similarly in every episode, but the players would just assume that part would be edited out. (Just like the time they spend drawing or arranging their boards on shiny questions.) Because in most episodes, it *is* edited out. So the actual difference was probably pretty subtle and unremarkable if you're not thinking about it, just that Trapp mentions her name in part of something said to camera, not separately just to the players.
um actually, it looked like Murph was pretty close on where he put Rivendell. just on the west side of the central/north part of the Misty Mountains, along the Bruinen river. he SHOULD'VE gotten the shiny question point.
Um actually they are NOT cursed to turn to stone during the daytime. That is in their nature. They are cursed to remain in stone until Castle Wyvern soars above the clouds, hence why they awake in present day New York when Xanatos put the castle on his skyscraper.
@@TheGamerGoy The newer, remote Um Actuallys are still pretty great - loving the themed episodes and more Game Changer. Totally worth the subscription.
@@SpookyPixie I subscribed for Dimension 20, and ended up watching most of the Um, Actually episodes. It's just about the only video / audio / whatever I'm willing to actually pay for, so that's saying a lot.
Um, actually, Binx never makes a verbal protest, but instead claws at Max's hand. Both his sister and Allison actually try to dissuade him before he lights the candle. It's only after lighting the black flame candle does Binx show up and call him an idiot.
Um actually, Rivendell is located at the foot of the Misty Mountain's western edge at the end of the Rhudaur river, so Murphy was in fact correct in labelling Rivendells location.
Umm, actually no it is not, it is on the western middle side of the misty mountains, at the edge of a narrow gorge of the river Bruinen. It is north of Moria.
I know it's a small map and large labels, but their Rivendell placement definitely makes it look like Rivendell is in Mirkwood. Like, that label is exactly where I'd put Thranduil's Hall or whatever his base is called.
Um actually, I thought the reason why paladin mounts don't count as animal companions is their divine origin making them closer to familiars than animal companions.
Correct, in 3.5 they are celestial magical beasts that cannot be affected by animal-specific spells/AoE attacks (but I only just learned this from another comment)
7:41 Um, Actually while there is an elven civilization in Northern Mirkwood Forest, that is not Rivendell; Rivendell is to the *West* of the Misty Mountains, which can be seen in the Fellowship of the Ring movie, as the hobbits plus Aragon go to Rivendell, and only after the fellowship is formed do they do any mountain climbing (which is when Gimli talks them into cutting through Moria instead of trying to take the mountain pass). You can see the same thing in The Hobbit, where Bilbo and the dwarves pass through Rivendell (where Elrond teaches them to read the moon runes) before they try to cross the mountains and get captured by Goblins living in the Misty Mountains. The place you've labeled as Rivendell is only referred to as "The Woodland Realm", where Thranduil rules the Sindar (Wood Elves). That's where Bilbo sneaks the dwarves downriver and earns the title "Barrel Rider".
when Mike said that they couldn't get lost in Middle Earth he stopped for a second before he said it doesn't exist, and his tone changed too. almost as though if he longed for it to be real
This is two years old and other people have totally already pointed this out, but Um, Actually, the gargoyles aren't gifted with stone bodies, but rather are cursed to become stone during the day.
Them not remembering her name, while fun, was understandable I think. If it had been in a different context, maybe it would have gone differently, but in those scenes the attention was on the huge boards she was carrying, they probably weren't listening to anything at all, and juat thinking "What the hell is this?"
It also means a packet of fake blood that can be burst with some kind of trigger to create the impression of being hit by gunfire for theater or filming. Although I bet that term originates from the small firework.
Someone may have done this already but: Um Actually, It ISNT a different talking cat, they used the same animatronic feline for both Hocus Pocus and Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
That's like saying Captain America and the Human Torch are the same because Chris Evans played both of them in different movies. Thakery and Salem are different characters but played by the same animatronic.
@BuxTone Music you seem not to know what either pedantic or correction mean. If you're wrong, and you are, it's not a correction. If you're hand waving a small detail, you're not being pedantic. They are different talking cats. This we can say for certain as the animatronic isn't a talking cat at all. The characters are the only things that can be classified as being both talking and cats, and the characters are different.
A squib as a term for a non magical person from a magical family makes sense (but is still harsh) as it’s the term for a firework that fails to go off.
Um, actually, pretty much any reference to a creature or person who isn't from a full-blooded, high-born wizard family sounds like a slur, or just is a slur.
Except. Um actually, They were basing this off of the drawn map included in some editions. Which while incorrect in lore is accepted as an official map.
I love how I would have gotten the cockatrice one mainly because 1. I know she mythology but most importantly: my first thought was Tales of Vesperia/Tales of Symphonia with the Cockatrice enemies that haunted me whenever I encountered them (especially in the ToV coliseum where you only have one character you fight as so you would have to equip charms to prevent status ailments...) because the damn things could freaking poison and/or petrify you... So I heard the word "cockatrice" and immediately had PTSD flashbacks to getting freaking petrified while trying to kill the damn thing and then being forced to try again... Like, Barbatos was annoying enough with his damn "nO iTeMs EVERRRRR!!!" But at least he can't FREAKING GET YOU DISQUALIFIED FROM THE COLISEUM BY TURNING YOU INTO A FREAKING DECORATIVE STOME STATUE IF YOU DON'T EQUIP AN ACCESSORY THAT MAKES IT SO YOU CAN'T BE PETRIFIED! AND ACTUALLY, Y'KNOW WHAT?! I KNOW THIS IS ACTUALLY EVEN MORE OFF TOPIC AND I'M NOT EXPECTING ANYONE TO KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT FORGET THE DAMN COCKATRICE-- IT CAN EASILY BE COUNTERED SIMPLY BY EQUIPING AN ACCESSORY AND IS EASY TO KILL... BUT _FRICK_ CLINT. THE MF CAN ONE SHOT YOU IN BOTH THE SOLO RUN (IMMEDIATELY ENDING YOUR TOURNAMENT MEANING YOU HAVE TO DO IT _AGAIN_ AND PRAY HE DOESN'T KILL YOU) AS WELL AS IN THE TEAM BATTLE (AT LEAST YOU CAN REVIVE YOUR CHARACTERS THERE AND IT'S NOT AN IMMEDIATE GAME OVER!) WHICH IS WAY MORE ANNOYING BECAUSE THERE'S PRETTY MUCH NO WAY TO COUNTER IT SO YEAH, FRICK HIM IN PARTICULAR.
It's so funny looking at the Harry Potter world in hindsight and going "Oh... maybe the signs that Rowling was going to be problematic was already there"
I think it's hard to get precise with those huge labels. One of their Isengards was definitely pretty close. (I also can't believe that not only did none of them get any points, but that pronunciation of barad dur made me feel physically ill)
I have to um, actually the "time travel" element of A Christmas Carol, because while they are seemingly traveling in time, it's more akin to seeing ones memories in the period where they took place, as you cannot interact with anything. I don't care this episode is over 2 years old 😂
I actually remembered her name. I remembered thinking 'what an awful time to be named Karen'. Also I was shouting squib at the screen on the first question
Um actually for animal companions, there is more than one other class with animal companion as a class feature. There is also a bard variant and a few prestige classes that give animal companions including Gatekeeper Mystagogue and Planar Shepherd. There is also a few ones that give interesting variants of animal companion but the feature isn't called that. My personal favorite is Peregrine Runner which gets animal companion but can only choose a peregrine falcon as the animal.
I feel like it's (un)important to note that Murph is technically correct. Paladin's can take the divine bond mount, which explicitly counts as a druid animal companion that's 3 (i think) levels lower
Um actually, the song isn’t what spawned the meme. The song references the scene in Portal that spawned the meme however, in which GLaDOS promises cake after the final experiment, but in fact she is sending Chel to an incinerator room.
Um actually, while GLaDOS does makes the referenced lie, the meme is specifically from graffiti written behind a test room panel where, presumably, a previous test subject had been hiding.
Welcome to "Um Actually!" the gameshow of hyperspecific, pedantic corrections for minutia that no reasonable person could possibly be expected to remember! Like Karen's name.
Um actually, the paladins mount is riding animal from a celestial plane and is treated as a magical beast for all purpose related to spells and effects.
@@DM_it_All “ You summon a spirit that assumes the form of an unusually intelligent, strong, and loyal steed, creating a long-lasting bond with it.... The steed has the Statistics of the chosen form, though it is a Celestial, fey, or fiend (your choice) instead of its normal type.”
Um actually that is the description for the paladin find steed spell of 5th edition dungeons and dragons. His statement was about 3.5e. In which they are just animals from another realm.
@@DM_it_All good point, I forgot that. That said, are they specifically classified as beasts? Because if not, “a creature native to a high energy plane” IS the definition of a celestial.
Juggernaut's change is irreversible, although it was lessened after Black Tom also touched the Ruby of Cyttorak. Also, pretty sure druids and rangers summon a companion, they don't choose them
Um actually, in Bill and Ted’s excellent adventure they make a stop in caveman times when the phone booth malfunctions. The oldest date on the timeline is Ancient Greece where they pick up Socrates
I can just imagine dark wizard families where the older brothers are casting imperio on their siblings and actually making them hit themselves whilst repeating "stop hitting yourself"
That Susan G. Komen crack was hilariously appropriate since the points are worthless and the Komen organization is pretty much worthless when it comes to anything other than lining their own pockets. Well played!
So fun fact about Harry Potter, because squibs can't use magic, they often integrate into the muggle world and just live basically as muggles. Because of this, this is how muggleborns are born, all or most muggleborns have an ancestor who came from a wizarding family, probably a squib.
um actually there is no proof what so ever that squibs are responsible for muggleborns. While it's a brilliant thought exercise used in fanfiction its not canon. It just seems canon because a lot of fics use it- just like how Sirus Orion Black doesnt actually have the middle name Orion, even though it sounds right. Never mentioned in the books at all.

THE MF CAN ONE SHOT YOU IN BOTH THE SOLO RUN (IMMEDIATELY ENDING YOUR TOURNAMENT MEANING YOU HAVE TO DO IT _AGAIN_ AND PRAY HE DOESN'T KILL YOU) AS WELL AS IN THE TEAM BATTLE (AT LEAST YOU CAN REVIVE YOUR CHARACTERS THERE AND IT'S NOT AN IMMEDIATE GAME OVER!) WHICH IS WAY MORE ANNOYING BECAUSE THERE'S PRETTY MUCH NO WAY TO COUNTER IT SO YEAH, FRICK HIM IN PARTICULAR.
It's so funny looking at the Harry Potter world in hindsight and going "Oh... maybe the signs that Rowling was going to be problematic was already there"
Super Excited about Jonathan Coulton
I feel like Murph's Rivendell was pretty close
I think it's hard to get precise with those huge labels. One of their Isengards was definitely pretty close. (I also can't believe that not only did none of them get any points, but that pronunciation of barad dur made me feel physically ill)
I have to um, actually the "time travel" element of A Christmas Carol, because while they are seemingly traveling in time, it's more akin to seeing ones memories in the period where they took place, as you cannot interact with anything. I don't care this episode is over 2 years old 😂
Oh my god, Demi's cockatrice made me burst out laughing.
I actually remembered her name. I remembered thinking 'what an awful time to be named Karen'. Also I was shouting squib at the screen on the first question
Um actually for animal companions, there is more than one other class with animal companion as a class feature. There is also a bard variant and a few prestige classes that give animal companions including Gatekeeper Mystagogue and Planar Shepherd.
There is also a few ones that give interesting variants of animal companion but the feature isn't called that. My personal favorite is Peregrine Runner which gets animal companion but can only choose a peregrine falcon as the animal.
I'm really glad to see this channel grab some sponsors. Hopefully we will get more new episodes in the future. :)
I'm actually great at remembering names. It makes people feel special when you remember their name and use it to greet them or bid them farewell.
I love how sad T gets when he says:
"We dont get lost in Middle earth..."*sad gasp*".. Cause it doesnt exist"
I feel like it's (un)important to note that Murph is technically correct. Paladin's can take the divine bond mount, which explicitly counts as a druid animal companion that's 3 (i think) levels lower
Quite a nice cast on this episode!
Um actually, the song isn’t what spawned the meme. The song references the scene in Portal that spawned the meme however, in which GLaDOS promises cake after the final experiment, but in fact she is sending Chel to an incinerator room.
Um actually, while GLaDOS does makes the referenced lie, the meme is specifically from graffiti written behind a test room panel where, presumably, a previous test subject had been hiding.
@@brianskog9947 oh right. I want to say the Ratman comics explained that that was him that wrote that.
Welcome to "Um Actually!" the gameshow of hyperspecific, pedantic corrections for minutia that no reasonable person could possibly be expected to remember! Like Karen's name.
That is in fact the whole point of the show! It celebrates the worst behavior of fans so as to laugh at it.
@@randolphcarter9163 The joke is in the second sentence...
It's ok. I'll improve.
The 21-sided dice is an abomination and it gives me physical pain.
Um actually, a ranger or Druid’s animal companion is an actual animal, but a Paladin’s mount is a celestial spirit disguised as an animal.
Um actually, the paladins mount is riding animal from a celestial plane and is treated as a magical beast for all purpose related to spells and effects.
@@DM_it_All “ You summon a spirit that assumes the form of an unusually intelligent, strong, and loyal steed, creating a long-lasting bond with it.... The steed has the Statistics of the chosen form, though it is a Celestial, fey, or fiend (your choice) instead of its normal type.”
Um actually that is the description for the paladin find steed spell of 5th edition dungeons and dragons. His statement was about 3.5e. In which they are just animals from another realm.
@@DM_it_All good point, I forgot that.
That said, are they specifically classified as beasts? Because if not, “a creature native to a high energy plane” IS the definition of a celestial.
Rule wise nope they are just magical beasts with no subtype like outsiders from other planes generally have.
Juggernaut's change is irreversible, although it was lessened after Black Tom also touched the Ruby of Cyttorak. Also, pretty sure druids and rangers summon a companion, they don't choose them
Um, actually, the Gargoyles do not have bodies made of stone, they just turn to stone during the day.
I hope they do a Crunch Time with the Jeremy Bearimy at some point.
Top 5 favorite episodes. The Players were great, last question was brutal and amazing pacing. 👏 👏 👏
That last question was amazing
I really love the time travel diagrams.
Um actually, in Bill and Ted’s excellent adventure they make a stop in caveman times when the phone booth malfunctions. The oldest date on the timeline is Ancient Greece where they pick up Socrates
I can just imagine dark wizard families where the older brothers are casting imperio on their siblings and actually making them hit themselves whilst repeating "stop hitting yourself"
So happy semi ended up in the show. Loved Gilmore guys.
That Susan G. Komen crack was hilariously appropriate since the points are worthless and the Komen organization is pretty much worthless when it comes to anything other than lining their own pockets. Well played!
So fun fact about Harry Potter, because squibs can't use magic, they often integrate into the muggle world and just live basically as muggles. Because of this, this is how muggleborns are born, all or most muggleborns have an ancestor who came from a wizarding family, probably a squib.
um actually there is no proof what so ever that squibs are responsible for muggleborns. While it's a brilliant thought exercise used in fanfiction its not canon. It just seems canon because a lot of fics use it- just like how Sirus Orion Black doesnt actually have the middle name Orion, even though it sounds right. Never mentioned in the books at all.
An absolutely brutal shiny question. Straight up killed the contestants like we were in the Eric Andre show
Now thats an unpunchable Jam.
Wait I found his songs on Spotify a while ago and they are so good this is epic
My favourite part of the ad is the popup captions to avoid um actuallys
The name guessing was so funny!
woah um actually getting that sponsorship!
I had no idea what Jonathan Coulton looked like but I listen to him almost every week on Ask Me Another.
that last question is literally an snl skit and it's even funnier with actual people
Um Actually, You can make weapons from Materia...
That was the whole point of the Proud Clod boss fight...
