I love how at 1:11 they zoom into the game board, like we were supposed to understand the mistake he'd just made...
ha ha ha true!
You didn't understand? It's almost as if you forgot about the essence of the game, it's about the cones.
@@coltonthompson5978 🤣🤣🤣
its all about the cones man
I just notice the reaper miniature of the giant.
It cracks me up when he rolls 20ish dice.
For tabletop gamers this is pretty normal, depending on the game and armies you can roll 120+ dice pretty regularly.
Yes and then he casually glances at them and makes his moves
@@Nimbus3000 at once?
@@isaakwelch3451 yes, some tournaments allow you to use an App to automate the dice rolling because it can get that ridiculous. 15-40 dice is probably more common but yeah it can be that way.
@@Nimbus3000 I've played a few tabletop games but unless i'm rolling stats for a bbeg in D&D I've never needed that many dice. Wow.
of course he picked maverick, its been overpowered since you were able to trade lumber for agriculture credits
True, that's what I hated most about the 2nd Edition.
@@theevilascotcompany9255 well that was the first edition at the time so it wasn't really big deal yet
underrated comment here
yeah but those are pointless since they added .5x value to every red and yellow resource gem so I guess that kinda balances it out.
This is why I play with house rules, original rules are too broken
Best part of this whole running gag is how Ben later is so pleased that a magazine called it "punishingly intricate"
lol
Someone once said that about my face
@@johnavernia1026Is that....bad?......good?...... that's confusing.
@@levilandes1719 For some people, it's very good.
@@levilandes1719
That depends on how you feel about being punished.
“It’s about the cones” clicked on the vid for that line
we all did
Yep.
For me its the "I'M THE MAVERICK"
Same here
That line cracked me up
*”You forgot about the essence of the game”* The cadence in Ben’s voice gets me every time😂😂😂😂
its about the C O N E S
"It's all about the game."
~ Sgt. Ernie Calhoun
The Don Draper of nerds
And the look on his face, plus the way he throws (more like lets them fall from his hand-- he got this, y'all!) the 274 (!!)dice onto the table (the camera angle in that one motion is BRILLIANT: Ben Wyatt IS The Ledgermain, dammit!)... priceless
He believed in the heart of the cones.
Bens nerdy comeback to the girls nerdy snide comment is weirdly satisfying to me
That girl went places.
She stars in one of the better live action Disney shows.
@@marquis911 whats her name? she looks awfully familiar.
@@demonjester553 Lilan Bowen
That's cause she tried to pull some Gatekeeper nonsense and she got shut down by The Architect!!!!
@@marquis911 Lilan Bowden
Adam Scott nailed this character. His little fist pump celebration kills me every time.
The way he eyes up his final move.
The guy who played Eric Forman would have made for a way better nerdy middle age adult
I've never watched the show and the whole time I kept wondering if that was Brandon Flowers from The Killers.
@@Cautionary_Tale_Harris Do yourself the favor and watch the show. It's the best mockumentary comedy ever produced. In my opinion, anyway.
@@Pow3llMorgan I have to say, I do have a soft spot for the show as well...
1:36 The legendary 16 dice roll.
Why do i feel like you counted
@@expiredmilk5435 of course he counted
Looks like *someone* wants to be Ledgerman
There's only 16, it's wasn't hard at all to count that few. The big orange die in the middle is the perfect separator for helping distinguish between the first group which are rapidly going flying off the table, and the other group that all clump up together and are constantly crossing over each other's paths as they roll and bounce.
It's like you've none of you people have never even played the game before.
I literally spit my drink out when he threw the 16 multi-sized dice across the table. Just too funny.
The fact that Ben could have prpven that he was the architect from the start, but instead he let his actions and game knowledge speak is such a macho move. In the best possible way.
Mega Flex.
The man had to assert his nerd dominance.
Conceptualizing and following through on a project like Ice Town is certifiable BDE
He basically hustled them, it was amazing
Nah, hustling them would be if he acted like he knew nothing about the game and *then* schooled them. He told them up front he created the game and even backed it up with displaying knowledge of the lore. This was just hubris on the part of the hipsters
“Looks like somebody’s out of resource gems *laughs smugly*”
Imagine not being able to see you were going to lose literally the next turn.
ben could have just played his 20 dice rolls really well
depends how complicated the game is, there's a bunch of games with strange and complicated interactions that people don't see until it's too late, eg weird combos in Magic the Gathering, I love stupid combo decks, but I can't count the amount of times the opponent is confused af and has to check the rules when my combo goes off.
That's what happens when you forget about the essence of the game
@@Marluxia84 "It's about the cones," man I love nerdy ben and his calzones so much.
As someone who regularly plays chess, I 100% understand missing the fact that you were gonna lose next turn.
To this day, that is the most thrilling game of Cones of Dunshire I have ever witnessed
And the only game
@@weebwhacker6217 with this much of intensity from one game, I'm glad Parks&Recs decided to show only one game. The extreme level of excitement is not good for my heart. I cant keep depending on my pills everytime I watch this clip
🤣🤣🤣
Such advanced strats, it's insane
The dice rolls have never ceased to amaze.
He rolls a handful of dice and doesn't even look at them haha
Phyrre56 Cool guys don’t look at the dice they just rolled. Or explosions.
First you roll the dice to see how many dice you roll.
@@Phyrre56 And like 5 of them fall off the table
@@Phyrre56 He actually does look at them, and so does his opponent. Look carefully at 1:37
It's insane that this has the energy of an old martial arts master fighting a novice who thinks themselves a master and discovering that they're fighting the inventor of Cone Style
Cone style. Hahahahaaa! Nice one.
Hubris must always be met harshly
“Shaolin shadowboxing and the Cone style. If what you say is true, the Shaolin and the Cones could be dangerous.”
@@ShinRyojin “Do you think your dunshire cone could defeat me?”
“en garde, i’ll let you try my cone style”
Like when Mr. Miyagi fights the leader of the Cobra Kai at the beginning of Karate Kid 2, in like 15 seconds.
A bit of backstory;
Michael Schur, the show's producer, jokingly told an intern that the board game's creation was *extremely important* and set her to work.
Although it was really only meant to be in one episode as a joke, she made the entire boardgame for real, taking his instruction quite literally. So it has appeared in more episodes and as far as I know there is only one copy.
There was an unsuccessful Kickstarter bid to make an actual CoD game but modified from how it was presented in the show.
@@halfthefiber idk if you can abbreviate it and have the word "game" next to it. Very confusing.
@@bennolaaa yeah I instantly thought Call of Duty, lol
@@bennolaaa Haha. Sorry it's giving off Call of Duty vibes.
The game needs to be some movie and television history museum. If one exists...
The overdramatic low angle and zoom on Bens face when he says “Its about the cones” is just *chefs kiss*
The camerawork & editing in this scene is so perfect.
I love how he just tosses aside the dice with total confidence, because at that point it didn’t even matter what he rolled.
I was going to point this out. The No look dice roll for maximum chad move.
Everybody gangster until the architect starts laughing
Yeah Ben is playing 3d Chess.
@@sharpe227 nah man, he's playing 4d Cones of Dunshire. FOR HE IS THE ARCHITECT
They needed to make this an online game for the Parks and Recreation Reunion.
Joseph Totzke I’ve spent hours looking for a real life edition of it and there is none. Can you give a link?
@@michaelmendez3119 I don't think it's sold, the rules are just out there and people have made them themselves
If I recall it correctly, it's on tabletop simulator.
@@Joesolo13 Really?!
Michael
I believe there’s a real one but it’s extremely rare. The company who designed the game for the show tried to start a campaign on....kickerstarter I believe to make it a real thing. One of there highest reward tiers was the actual physical copy of the game. Sadly the kickstarter failed and it’s said that there’s only one playable version out there
I love how Ben has his moment of glory...only to be brought back to reality when he has to babysit Andy as he's stealing bicycles. LOL
This and the acccounting firm welcoming him back with a pizza party and he winks at the camera are the two all time great Ben Wyatt moments.
don't forget his terrible press conference, "Who hasn't had gay thoughts?"
They weren't pizzas, they were calzones!
@@AndrewJW He loves calzones!
Getting a wink from Kay Hanley during the Unity Concert justified Ben's holding on to that Letters to Cleo t-shirt for 20+ years.
@@babymilksnatcher "more like 'Turd Craply'"
"You roll 3 dice to see how many dice you roll"
Have a seat. Do you want to be corpral. Or Warrior?
Neither. IM THE MAVERICK
Logan Paul would be proud
@Josh D ur comment gives me hope for humanity
666th upvote kek
John McCain would be proud.
Goose would be proud... if he wasn't dead.
Ben is playing this game with that Yu-Gi-Oh confidence
He's got the heart of the cones!
Bout to send some mothafuckas to the shadow realm
Lol. He had his "Exodia, Obliterate!" moment.
Hell yeah lol
clearly that dude triggered Ben's trap card
"The key is you have to throw the dirt into the back of the fan." 😂😂😂
He's not wrong.
Which not so subtly implies he tried it while standing in front of the fan and got dirt flung in his face. I love the writers of this show
@@RaindropsBleeding and probably more than once lol
@@RaindropsBleeding Exactly. I almost expected him to say, "Learned that the hard way," but the writers are too smart for that. Brilliant.
This scene is what really solidified my crush on Ben Wyatt. Who doesn’t love a confident nerd?
Jessica Stout oof my crush started way back when man was eating soup on a bench
Plus... The rolled up sleeves.
@@K1893 oh yeah that too definitely lol
FINALLY. I thought I was the only one in love with him
Most women in my experience.
I love how Andy is never more than 60% aware of what is actually happening
Donna describes Andy best as a big giant puppy
Chris Pratt is killing it with the facial expression during this whole scene.
Just remember to throw the dirt into the BACK of the fan.
Ye Andy would have no fkin clue what's going on as usual
Playing a dimwit well is truly brilliant acting.
Pratt was amazing in parks and rec, until he got fit and kinda lost his edge
Ha! I never noticed the laugh and "I don't know" expression he makes after the girl says she's the Alchemist of the Hinterlands. Good call!
Ben is the most delightful nerd ever. I need a Ben in my life.
Trouble is we rarely venture outdoors
This is like may favorite scene of all.
“ITS ABOUT THE CONES”
Well technically Partridge, Minnesota is home of the architect but alright
'when your in Pawnee than your home'
@@MrBlazingbanana came for the inaccuracies, stayed for the feels
Well the game was born in Pawnee so doesn't that mean 'The Architect' was also born in Pawnee?
There's a difference between being born in a place and living in a place. Where you live is your home. They didn't say hometown.
@@MrBlazingbanana Welcome Taliban soldiers
Everybody's talking about the "it's about the cones" line, but my favorite bit is when he corrects the girl in the beginning. Such nerd. Much brain.
"...can't be an alchemist of the Hinterlands -- the Hinterlands is a Shadow Kingdom that can only sustain a Provost or a Denier". I could drizzle caramel over that line and eat it with a spork. ❤️
Love the shoutout to the creator of Settlers of Catan, Klaus Teuber. "I cast a Teuber spell.."
1:45 "YES, my humble farmer."
kinda like how a pawn can become a queen or really any piece
I love how you don't see the middle of the game but this line highlights that he must have laughed at Ben for using the farmer at all.
I just realized that "Cones of Dunshire" means "Dunce Caps".
I doubt many are familiar these days.
Ahhhhhh!
Now that you say it...
*Reggie puts dunce cap on for not realizing this first.*
@@Reggie2000 Make room.
Wah- how?
Oh my -
This is one of my favourite scenes of the entire series, I can't help but bust out laughing when Ben gets smug. Best TV nerd ever.
I love how he's actually this guy IRL too.
Love when he says “which moves my Brinksman to the Devil’s Lair” the other guy stands up in shock. He may have forgotten about the cones but he clearly knows the rules of the game enough to know that’s bad. Great bit
Epic moment
i want to like but it’s at 69
Yo Nato what you doing here my guy. I swear if you use the sounds of those dice rolling for a beat, that would be legendary.
Gay moment
For Andy
Pretty intense action, I agree. Why wasn't this moment on ESPN? There's no justice in this world
This is so epic, even though I have no idea what's going on in the game, it gives me chills every time
Evan McGuire thats me at my chess club, been playing for years and i still dont know whats going on half the time
Ben winning at Cones of Dunshire is the sexiest thing in this whole show
It’s about time the curly haired guy took a break and played some cones. He’s a real workaholic.
timshel11 that’s a catchy name.
@@Zenapprentice WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN
Yeah, Blake is awesome. Just like Darius Rucker said.
I'm honestly amazed that when Ben won everyone in that company didn't bend the knee to their new nerd king.
Adam Scott’s delivery in this entire scene is just absolutely timeless to see.
Adam Scott made me love this character. Ben is so confidently geeky. Probably my favorite character from this show. He is just relatable 😂
1:33 What would Ben have said here if he was disappointed at a pizza shop?
"It's about the calzones."
Ben will retire from government and open up a pizza joint in Pawnee: Calzones of Dunshire.
Ben was originally trying to take another shot at his calzone shop, but he was typing his business plan so frantically that his A, L, and Z key broke, and this was the result.
Andy's game: Throwing Dirt Into a Fan XD
I wonder what his high score is.
100% he learned the hard way lolol. There is a reality where Andy throws a bunch of dirt into a fan only to have it blast right back into his face.
the key is to throw the dirt in the back of the fan
It’s about tha conez
Yes, it absolutely is.
its about the Calzones
"You're a smart guy, you've obviously picked up some flashy moves..." has to be one of the most soul-crushing sentence starters there is. You know if you hear that, your cones are about to crumble under the weight of sheer pedantry and farming implements.
He’s such a super nerd that the sheer power of it makes me die inside, it’s so glorious
Andy really is the loveable golden retriever who rips up your shoes but you can't stay mad at.
I think we should all appreciate the difficulty yet perfect demonstration of Andy riding a bicycle holding another bicycle with one hand
What nobody ever seems to acknowledge is the hilarity that he's RIDING the smaller bike while HOLDING the larger bike, as opposed to the opposite (which would make more sense), so it's even more clownish.
“This company is ours! That’s mine! That’s mine!”
"IT'S ALL MINE!"
I love that they respect the game enough to quietly watch
" 𝓘𝓽'𝓼 𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓾𝓽 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓮𝓼 "
The part where everyone is looking through the window To watch the game cracks me up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
basically every warhammer 40k game.
I love that lean in as he's surveying the board. It's like there are things only his masterful eyes can see and he's got to get the right angle to see them.
Only Andy could still two bikes by riding one and carrying the other
steal* If you're going to comment on a nerd vid, be full nerd and spell correctly.
He probably stole the second one for April. Such a thoughtful idiot.
what kills me is he is riding the smaller of the two bikes.
This is LITCHeraly, my favorite scene in the whole series!
I see what you did there...
Double pun ftw
Little item of trivia: Mayfair games, who was the licensed "publisher/maker" of all english speaking Settlers of Catan games, (defunct 2018) made all the pieces for "cones of dunshire" for this episode.
I don't think that's true, I recognize at least one of the models on the table from Reaper Miniatures' "Bones" line.
@@georgea4124 i have no problem being told i'm incorrect. I read my information on a parks and rec fan site. Could be mayfair put the basic game together but production assistants could've fleshed it out with more pieces and characters. Notice the hex tiles are very similar to Settlers. If you find any supporting documentation on your observations, please let me know!
@@mindeloman For example, the "shaman" figure he is holding up is www.amazon.com/Reaper-Yephima-Female-Cloud-Miniature/dp/B00EZY04HQ painted gold.
@@mindeloman your attitude brings tears of joy to my eyes. (I need to spend less time on the internet.)
Out of the many humorous, heartfelt scenes of romance, friendship, and insanity in Parks and Rec, this one is my favorite.
Such a heartwarming scene when you appreciate geek culture like Ben and know the context of his mental state back when he invented the game.
I forgot how big of a nerd Ben is.
He is serious and nerdy at the same time. I like the contrast.
BTW he threw those dice on the table and some of them fell off, how could he tell what he's gotten
Vlaho Šeparović he already knew he one no matter how many spaces he needed I assume
I've usually only known people who are nerdy to be quite serious.
@@LoveBaseballLove you clearly haven't met many nerds. Because as far as I have seen a lot of nerds are dumb sheep. sucking off to companies like Disney or Sony or Microsoft or Nintendo or WB etc.
We used a dice rule 'if it lands level, it's good', So if it ended on the floor, that was fine. But that was DnD, not Cones, so there may be other rules.
I think that part of was intentional, signifying how that it was certain he’d roll at least what was needed to win.
I have waited so long for them to upload this particular clip!
It's been uploaded before, not to this channel though
I’ve only found one and it was horrible quality, I went back and watch a couple episodes just to find this scene a few weeks ago
This scene is one of the greatest. I love Ben Wyatt more than life itself
1:19 Ben becomes the Joker
He doesn’t become the Joker. He IS The Joker
Sheer confidence
Ben was one of the best additions to the show. My second favorite right behind Ron.
The addition of Ben & Chris while writing out Mark Brendanawicz certainly set up the show's Golden Age.
The addition of Bed and Chris saved this show.
And pushes my farmer, Yes, my humble farmer 😂😂😂
This is one of the funniest shows to come along in years. That said, what I like about it most is its humanity. To take but one example: think about how Andy and April's lives were both changed for the better because of their mentors.
This is such a wholesome clip and Andy’s stupidity makes it even better xD
That was the most anime thing on Parks and Recreation.
YES I FOUND A CONTINUITY ERROR
During 1:43 and 1:46 where Ben says "yes my humble farmer" his placement of his hand slight changes: in first frame he hold the farmer pawn from the higher tip and in second frame he holds it from below. Check it for yourselves
Also when he invented the game he said it was for 8-12 players, yet here it is a 1v1.
this is my absolute favorite clip and it was nowhere to be found on youtube before now. thank you
Who wouldn’t wanna play this game... besides me
Yahtzee has all the dice I need.
When Ben rolls the 27 different dices🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 such confidence
Ben's expression when he learns he's won... love it so much
Someone better be running a gofundme campaign for this.
They did and it failed
@@lucasrenato3531omg for real hahahaha
"I cast a Teuber spell" is the best inside joke of this clip
That's a Catan allusion, no? I didn't catch it at first...
@@Hennu_TRM - yup. The name of the designer of Catan
The face he makes when he knows he’s won will just randomly pop into my mind at times and make me laugh.
I mean, I'm no board games expert, but that's an insane amount of dices.
I've seen this episode once in my entire life 3 years ago but right before Ben said it, the line came to me: "You forgot about the essence of the game". Hilarious 🤣
"Yeah man, we did it! THIS WHOLE COMPANY IS OURS!" 😂😂😂
tbh this is my FAVE part of the whole show idk why
I love Ben so much and he's so hilariously nerdy AND somehow super cool here
"the trick is throwing the dirt behind the fan"
yes andy we've played that game
“I’m on top of the world” rides by with two bikes indoors. I love Andy so much
2:10 That zoom in on Ben's face hovering over the game he invented 💀💀💀
"IT'S ABOUT THE CONES"😂
it's something I'd say about ice cream 😂
“I am on top of the world” never gets old
"You're all out of resource gems."
Ben: I'm about to pull what's known as a pro-gamer move
I would watch a whole series based on Cones of Dunshire.
Ben: You made one crucial mistake. You forgot about the essence of the game.. ITS ABOUT THE CONES!
Gryzzl: Why am I hearing boss music?
I need the cones of dunshire
Unknownraptor86 same.
You can get it they made it into a real board game
This version is so much better than the producers cut currently showing on Peacock
Even if Chris Pratt doesn’t know what he’s doing he’s smiling and his smile is so warm
I like how Andy grabbed a bike for himself and April.
This entire series was damn masterpiece.
From to the start and finish of the show he truly was amazing at his job. Him and Rob Lowe constantly made me laugh. I know Ron is typically everyone's favorite or chris pratt. But those two just did it for me. The calzone bit also was really funny to me.
The roll of 15+ dice always has me laughing
One of the greatest scenes in Parks and Rec history. Classic Ben Wyatt!
Pawnee, Indiana: Official Home of the Cones and Dunshire Architect
Taking the cones is like a metaphor for meeting and overcoming challenges… a humble peasant thrust into a challenging situation will become the most powerful opponent.
