I liked how they did it in a VERY Trained Improviser way. Just a gentle bear hug, "Im absolutely not going to hurt you", and fake struggling, careful kicking, then basically just holding him up w Ally spotting. Total pros.
@@westofley the website hard drive (think the onion for specifically games and online media) did a list of gamechanger episodes where the cast were closest to rising up against Sam. I think this one counts
my favourite part about brennan's out-of-pocket monologues is that if you listen closely enough, the mics never fail to pick up just a hint of the rest of the cast and crew absolutely losing it behind the camera
The face drop when he realizes he actually won is just priceless. I don't think I've ever, even through all d20, seen Brennan so defeated in a lighthearted way.
I feel like at some point leading up to this he did realize that whoever came second in points would be deemed the winner (when he talks about how "there is still the question" I think he meant "Does second place get crowned the winner?"), and bid negative infinity because of course it also meant that he wouldn't lose points regardless of other bids (which is part of why he asked Sam about it).
there was an interview with a runner who placed third in the olympics, they asked him "do you feel bad about winning 3rd place?" and his response was "why should i? it means that out of everyone in the world there are only 2 people faster than me"
I think there were a few studies done that show people who earned silver are less happy than those who earned bronze because they were so close to getting gold, but bronze is just happy to have placed.
Not necessarily though. Bradbury one gold speed skating because everyone else fell over. He only didn't fall because he was that much slower, to not get caught by them.
@@stacey4758 but that also means he knows his abilities and his safe speed, unlike others who didn't know and failed it's like rally drivers who drive 95% of the speed they actually can to not die
A lot of people make fun of his almond speech, but it's literally just an unhinged way to say "keep your blood sugar up, and don't let anyone make fun of you for worrying about your health/happiness." He does this shit all the time.
Ha! That's exactly it. I don't usually care for Ally, but they were the _perfect_ antagonist for Brennan in this episode, constantly lighting him up with quips and comments to piss him off. And I like Oscar, I don't mean to be rude, but he definitely has Muppet energy
After all Sam’s attempts he’s finally nailed down the nature of Brennan’s competitiveness. It’s not winning that he cares about, it’s trying his absolute best, and since other people aren’t always doing that it means he looks super competitive in comparison
it’s so true; you can see that he’s always fair and happy for other contestants when they do well, he just needs to be doing the absolute best he can be at all times. and no one else is doing all that
Yeah, I remember some Um Actually episodes where he gets almost as mad on behalf of an opponent as he does on his own behalf, if he honestly believes the other person got cheated out of a point.
He'll sacrifice anything for points, but if the competition is done and verdict is given, he stands on airtight principles, even when they starkly contrast what you'd expect him to display given his attitude and habits *during* the competition. Class personified
I love that he knew that second place was going to win the game in the end the whole time. It's why he lost the early rounds under the cover of purposefully throwing, because being ahead on points gives you the least agency to come in second at the end of the game. Maybe a slight tactical error sabotaging Oscar instead of Ally as he needed Oscar to sacrifice the correct points in the end, but I could see him thinking that staying closer to Ally in points would give him more agency for the final prompts, as I don't think he predicted the sacrifice points game.
"This..." **looks behind to see oscar, ally and sam dancing like how a 5 year-old would to 'look cool' on camera for their friends.** "...bizarre, fucked up clown festival"
i gotta say: Brennan definitely knew this from the start. The absolute mastermind was theory crafting all the ways he could "win," he knew from game 2-3 that the second place point holder will actually win. He did the math, he was doing the dozen or so monty hall problems in his head in deux or no deux, he saw how Sam will grade the dance competition, he knew he need to win some games and actively lose others.
This is correct. Just before the start of this clip, Brennan responds to Sam with something like "and then there's *the question*" and he definitely knows.
Nah, Brennan had to rely on Oscar and Ally completely messing up the final game. The actual best strategy was to start out getting as many points as possible (he threw away any chance with the pie eating and push ups) and later on play to get to second. He was behind the entire time and only started scoring points when he was too far behind. Again, Oscar would have "won" by betting 1 or 2 points. Ally would have "won" if Oscar had bet 4 or 5. Oscar betting 6 would have seen both Oscar and Brennan in 2nd place. With 7 or more, Brennan would have "won" again. Funnily enough, it was also the only outcome in which technically, nobody finished 2nd. Because two players had more points than Brennan, so he was third. It's how maths works...
As soon as Sam started the final point comparison, you could see that Brennan immediately knew what was going to happen and hated the idea. Truly could not have been written better. 😂
While I was watching this entire episode about 2/3rds of the way through, I thought, no way the twist at the end is that the second place is the actual winner, and here we are.
Ally, earlier in this episode: "You are the Perfect American" Brennan, after describing this game: "This is the sickness at the core of America" . . . Ally should have won best compliment, and Brennan agrees
I love how there are so many people saying that Brennan didn’t come in second place as there was a tied first place so nobody got second. Clearly in this game, the game that Sam controls all the rules of, Sam said if there is 2 people tied for first place they are actually both in first place and there is a second place finisher.
@@jessiec2220 TBH I don’t know. I just decided I wasn’t going to make a comment arguing with them about something I didn’t fully understand so I stuck with talking about what I did understand.
easily the most wholesome clip i've watched in months... the way they start dancing together, brennan's classic monologuing, "getting him" being a big ol' bear hug, the way they all join in fucking with sam at the end, the music... it's just so lovely. made my whole day
What I love about this episode is at some point Brennan starts taking it really seriously and strategizing and most of his decisions become really tactical. I’d even wager he predicted the twist that 2nd place was going to be the true “winner” of this episode and made tactical choices to ensure he was in 2nd at the end.
Fred Rogers was 40 when Mister Rogers' Neighborhood first aired - he was himself for boomers and millenials as the show produced new episodes into 2001. Who better to be the 'Mister Rodgers' to zoomers and gen alpha than BLeeM?
As soon as they all understood you had to be second best to win this episode, I immediately knew Brennan would lose it. I laughed the entire way through.
Making a show where the goal is to end up in second place, and therefore simultaneously being in first place, blows my mind. Sam Reich is my damn hero.
I genuinely thought no one was going to win this episode since Ally and Oscar tying for first technically means that Brennan got third. However, his reaction was priceless XD
At the start of this episode I expected a fun Game Changer episode, but not one I’d have picked for the season opener. After finishing it’s one of my favorites. Really excited for more season 6
The best part about this is that if you do the math, Brennan came in first, second _and_ last all at the same time. He came in second First place was a shared place between two out of three people meaning Brennan got last Being second made him win, so he was also in first place.
That glare at 0:34 -- I could well be reading too much into it but I SWEAR you can see the gears turning as he hears what Sam said and thinks "Now hold the phone; infinity isn't a number... But he said to wager a number of points... Damnit I've lost."
I love the way Brennan took a beat to appreciate his place on the podium, then used the chaotic mischief Sam wrought upon him, to make a speech about trying your damn hardest regardless of the outcome. Someone give the man a damn cape, or at least make him president of somewhere.
I feel that speech, though. I ran track in high school and got 5th place in the state for the 4x800 relay, which was a bummer until my dad reminded me that 5th in state put my team above all but just a few highschoolers. That was a good feeling.
1:51 This will always be the most fever dreamy out of context moment for me Brennan rambling on about darkness and sickness and chaos while Oscar Ally and Sam just dance in the background is WILD
"The sickness at the core of America" and "This bizzare fucked up clown festival" being accompanied by Sam, Ally, and Oscar dancing is absolutely hilarious 🤣
There is no good content like improvised good content. It comes from the very inspirational and creative core that each of us know when we feel the most alive and the most human.
This is one of the best game changer episodes of all time, if not _the_ flat out best. The fact that it's the first episode of season 6, and not the season finale, well words just can't describe how much I anticipate seeing what comes after this!
WHat I loved most about this episode is Brennan trying SO HARD not to be bothered... but this episode was DESIGNED to wind up Brennan and you could see it triggering him in 15 different ways 😄
Brennan's chaos was stellar, but this episode would have been nothing without Oscar's rock-steady happy-to-be-here attitude keeping it lighthearted. One of the best Game Changers of all time
One thing I love about game changer is the crew behind the camera are laughing along with jokes. Instead of a laugh track they use for sitcom or something, the laughter comes from actual live humans who are enjoying the show with you
Something im noticing on my 20th watch is thst the camera work and the angle that brenan stands on while finishing the argumment, while not perfect, is really fucking good for a improv situation, really sells the bit and makes it way more funny than if brenan stayed monologuint looking directly at the camera Extra points to how slowly and subtle the movement on brenan's side is, you almost dont notice the 2 small steps he takes to the side from the main chamera to let ally be on the center, just, great

Hard drive are gonna have to update their list
@@crimson-cloud what list are you referring to?
@@westofley the website hard drive (think the onion for specifically games and online media) did a list of gamechanger episodes where the cast were closest to rising up against Sam. I think this one counts
I'll be honest, when that piano cue started, there was 100% a moment I thought Brennan was going to start singing.
It would be the perfect time for a musical number
I also thought this
He was thinking about it
I just almost spit tea all over my keyboard 😂
Would have been an epic musical number, though!
I would NOT have been shocked.

People will claim they're scripted but he's a genius drama kid, he obviously improvised every single line and beat. We love Brennan.
@@AkuraTheAwesome He's said before that it basically takes all his will to not talk like this all the time
I love production failing to keep it together
Out of pocket?? It was entirely appropriate
They're my favorite. I actually did an audition with "I know what's going on here"
I can’t believe Sam figured out a way to make Brennan hate winning more than losing
Holy shit i knowww i love it
"What's happening is wrong." 😑
Brenan looking back at them failing to synchronise an incredibly easy dance, before looking at the camera and saying 'fucked up clown festival'.
Their failure to synchronize made it all the better. 😂
"bizarre, fucked-up, clown festival" absolutely killed me 😂😂
They failed, but just when Brennan looked, they actually hit it right, and then continued to go wrong.
That is hilarious for me.
this comment is making me laugh so hard because i didn’t think anybody else had noticed how badly they were synchronizing 😭

The second place podium is great as well!
The face drop when he realizes he actually won is just priceless. I don't think I've ever, even through all d20, seen Brennan so defeated in a lighthearted way.
I personally loved the face he made after Ally's smartass answer to who could make the loudest gong noise
there's a point where you can see him trying not to break though so it's at least a little bit exaggerated
@@IunaIia his little 'Oh no' when he thought the game had fundamentally changed
I feel like at some point leading up to this he did realize that whoever came second in points would be deemed the winner (when he talks about how "there is still the question" I think he meant "Does second place get crowned the winner?"), and bid negative infinity because of course it also meant that he wouldn't lose points regardless of other bids (which is part of why he asked Sam about it).
A great many of the game changer games sam has Brennan participate in are elaborate schemes to see how much he can upset Brennan and I love it lol
there was an interview with a runner who placed third in the olympics, they asked him "do you feel bad about winning 3rd place?" and his response was "why should i? it means that out of everyone in the world there are only 2 people faster than me"
I think there were a few studies done that show people who earned silver are less happy than those who earned bronze because they were so close to getting gold, but bronze is just happy to have placed.
Yeah that doesn't even need a study. Watch enough medal ceremonies and you know who is happiest between silver and bronze.@@Blueeyesthewarrior
Not necessarily though. Bradbury one gold speed skating because everyone else fell over. He only didn't fall because he was that much slower, to not get caught by them.

The fact that if he had answered one or two he would have won just the same. But doggone it, he lives and dies by the bit.

I like how the whole point of this episode is to put brannen, who only wants to win, into a game where the winner never wins, yet brannen still won 😂
1:17 This feels like a public service announcement or a commercial for a medication!😂😅❤
At the start of this episode I expected a fun Game Changer episode, but not one I’d have picked for the season opener. After finishing it’s one of my favorites. Really excited for more season 6
I love how much "if you ain't first, you're last" lives on in the collective millennial consciousness
Second place aka first of the losers
This was an all-time episode of Game Changer
I love how long it took Sam to get into rhythm with Oscar and Ally.
This is such unhinged Brennan fuckery. I love it so much.
King of literally not even caring and costing by 💅💅
This episode was a gold mine for brennan monologues
The best part about this is that if you do the math, Brennan came in first, second _and_ last all at the same time.
He came in second
First place was a shared place between two out of three people meaning Brennan got last
Being second made him win, so he was also in first place.

1:09 the music here reminds me of a dream theater song i just cant put my finger on which one
It has to be "The Spirit Carries On"
the other two joining in to gang up on sam is so fucking funny
1:12... Why did I think that Brennan was going to belt into song?
How in the 7 hells did Brennan not immediately piss himself laughing when he turned around to see them smooth dancing?

He always does just enough

This was a perfect episode.
seeing the shorts for the gong prompt and then being able to see this is so funny, brennan finally wins. he did it. holy moleh.
01:56 "The sickness at the core of America" is a whole fucking mood and a half.
This episode really deconstructs the concept of "winning" in a game and I find that fascinating
"what's happening is wrong" he says, while he 100% strategized to win that friggin' game.
I just love Brennan rage at how counter to his very core winning by losing
Gotta love working in a place where you can just tackle your boss and everyone's having a good time with it
the absolute joy in Sam's voice when announcing Brennan as the "winner"
Technically, because two people tied for first, Brennan came in third. In the game where second is best, no one came in second.
Haha Brennan realising he didn’t have a good ending to the monologue, so he just audibles his play, is amazing
Brennan Lee Mulligan, the only man who can get third place, second place, and first. Truly a god amongst men
"Bizarre fucked up clown festival" is one of my favorite brennan quotes
1:57 - The meme potential of this clip cannot be overstated!

That was some mr Rodgers speech at the end. loved it
this takes doing a Bradbury to another level. he's winning by not doing his best and he's not even in the first place
It's the "what's happening is wrong" for me 😂
The dancing that comes during “this bizarre, fcked-up clown festival” is so truly perfect I cannot speak
Oscar’s reaction when Brennan kicks into monologue mode, “What the??”
Why have I not seen the take that Brennan stood on business and did his best every single time and it paid off. He actually won!
Infinity is not a number, and neither is negative infinity. Give the man his points!
The best part is that Ally and Oscar are WAY more excited about Brennan winning than either of them would have been if they had won.
1:32 Sam cackling off-screen after Brennan's line about devilry is just perfect.
WHat I loved most about this episode is Brennan trying SO HARD not to be bothered... but this episode was DESIGNED to wind up Brennan and you could see it triggering him in 15 different ways 😄
Brennan's chaos was stellar, but this episode would have been nothing without Oscar's rock-steady happy-to-be-here attitude keeping it lighthearted. One of the best Game Changers of all time
That ending speech plus background dancers was just **chef's kiss**
One thing I love about game changer is the crew behind the camera are laughing along with jokes. Instead of a laugh track they use for sitcom or something, the laughter comes from actual live humans who are enjoying the show with you
Something im noticing on my 20th watch is thst the camera work and the angle that brenan stands on while finishing the argumment, while not perfect, is really fucking good for a improv situation, really sells the bit and makes it way more funny than if brenan stayed monologuint looking directly at the camera
Extra points to how slowly and subtle the movement on brenan's side is, you almost dont notice the 2 small steps he takes to the side from the main chamera to let ally be on the center, just, great
