"ACCEPT again" What's the definition of insanity?
LoL true 😂
Nah bro you gotta go hard. Sometimes you gotta try a second time. 3rd time not so much.
Dude the definition of insanity doesn't work in this case ("repeat the same action and expect different results")
But they had already been setup with an example that there were two different results because there were significant differences in the timeline.
therefor IT IS NOT insanity to expect a third timeline to be even weirder and more different, it's just curiosity.
Certain choices/endings in bandersnatch are unlocked by choosing the same path twice..
The thing is, it was different the second time so it might have been a different result
Got lost in this shit for like 3 hours... ended up getting all the endings without even realising 😝
@hammertapping yea but you can skip forward and just get to the decisions
I took the long way I swear I did this for 5 hours lmao I think chopping the body leads to the best ending!
I restarted it three times to change my choices but still ended up with the worst ending
Me too lol
Same😂
Amateurs.
Always pick Netflix.
This was the first time I've seen people see the Netflix option and not give a shit. Only Nahid was surprised lol
nah i saw netflix and was like yikes
That's why they call themselves the normies lol.
Nah man, I am a real fan of Black Mirror and I get excited when the symbol from white bear appeard as an option.
@@jovannyparra5955 hahaha i love when people call themselfs "real fans"
You didn t saw my favorite ending ! Its the one where you have to choose "Leap through the window" or "Fight Her" if you choose the window one you get my favorite ending!
Reato Same!
Same here, so sad they didn't pick that. Would have BLOWN their mind.
I don't understand why they played so little of this. If they chose "kill dad", they would have access to like 4 new endings.
They probably only did around 20% of the movie. I forget how to get the ending with that woman creating Bandersnatch for Netflix and she herself gets controlled. It might've been "kill dad" too.
That's the ending I got
That scene made me so confused i was littraly IDK!!😂😂
Rana got a little too excited when she saw homeboy pull out the acid lol
hahaha!
She was dropping a little bit toon much enthusiasm and knowledge 😂😂
What? LSD is awesome
Lsd*
@@darkashtar Yeah, no.
The "dead ends" are really just flat out permanent endings... and the option to "go back" to a previous choice with the screens is just a system the producers made for us to experience other branches and endings, without starting over and repeating alot of the choices....
because part of the point is to experience all the endings, like Colin said when Stefan asked him what ending he got in the book, "all of them".
That's why when you get the early ending when you choose to work in the office the game reviewer says "way too short", "over before it started", it implies that's the first real ending. (or Nahid's favorite, when you choose to jump off the roof, it's just another abrupt early ending)
i like how everyone misses the point./.- like they constantly refreance in the show pac man the game was designed to make you think your outcome can be diffrent. aka you eventually end up going through each ending beacuse why?? YOU HAD THE ILLUSION THE OUTCOME WAS DIFFERENT. THERE YOUVE BEEN PAC MAN'D.... damn did everyone fkn miss that?? or is everyone's minds just that basic.
@@gloomydolleyes Not all endings are same; the one where he buries the body get him the five star review he wanted and then the history repeat itself with Pearl. The only happy ending was when he took the meds and then gave up on the game halfway, where he essentially went normal, the Netflix ending of jumping out of the window revealed its all a show. The outcome was different, but none of the outcomes were satisfactory (just like in Pac Man)
Suraj and Chris really picked accept twice... I lost brain cells
We don't give up so easy !!!
I did that too! 😅 I wanted to see if it would change
Of course people would pick accept twice, the lines changed. I did.
I wanted to know how would affect to relive the same thing over and over. Turns out it's not that complex.
X1 Z1
These people don't know the definition of insanity.
I feel sorry for the hat dude.
This was torture for Nahid haha.
Good, he needs to be shown how to have a good time rather then be mad that he didn’t get his way.
I mean I feel for him the others decisions were questionable
@@bigchungus5933 being so invested in the character and story is what make this movie so thrilling. He was just upset that his first experience (and only upload to youtube) was so different than what he would have done.
It was kind of embarrassing the way he pouted when he didn't get his way. He was like a spoiled child. I was literally cringing, I'd be so embarrassed to act that way in public.
the shadowfax he also embarrassed Rana acting like that. 31 year old acting like an 11 year old.
It took me a while to drop my obsession with making the "right" decisions in Bandersnatch. It's more fun if you just ride the results of your decisions and see where they go.
going in, you assume you only get one chance to do this, so I think it's normal to want to do it the right way.
Look, a grown adult taking a reasonable approach to entertainment 🤣
Since I figured it was like most interactive games I played, I just went in, and tried making choices to get to an end point, so I could go back and see where the other choice would take me. It was hard to do that the way they structured it.

There are 5 main endings, but a couple dozen sub endings. You guys didn't even see 50% of the overall runtime that they recorded.
Also there are secret options that come with picking one choice over and over, so despite people poking fun, choosing accept twice isn't a bad idea.
At least some people actually understood the show.
Yeah this is probably the most annoying reaction group. I hate when my auto play lands me here
There's no true ending... the point is that you have the illusion of choice, THE END.
When you play it enough times you start to fully understand.
I mean... the viewpoint you are communicating is one ending, the one where the game gets 5 stars. "Illusion of choice". That viewpoint breaks down with a story that has multiple endings like this. The choices are more than an illusion if they affect the outcome.
@@carterblunt4192 I also think the meaning is illusion of choice. And there were plenty of choices where things ended up the same no matter what you chose, not to mention no matter what you picked you could never make things better for him. Like when you choose not to do acid, Colin slips it into his drink and it all goes down the same.
Lol. I made Suraj say "Who's controlling us?" 200 times over and over. I AM CONTROLLING YOU.

*Michael Jordan Meme*
Stop it, get some help.
The whole 'game' is Brooker misleading you into thinking you have free will, when in reality you have practically none. As you've discovered he pushes you in a certain direction that moves his narrative forward and thats why some 'choices' end up being dead ends. This is Black Mirror after all so there won't be any 'happy endings, and imo the nearest one to that is letting him go off to die with his Mother.
Absolutely loved it. lol
one of my favorite endings is the one with colin’s daughter in the future
Is that real, are you being serious?
Sekajipo C. yep! it’s probably on youtube somewhere
Oh I remember that! I think it was the first one I got
Yeah. That was my fourth ending
BTW: Colin's game at the beginning about a guy falling out of his balcony and dodging things on the way down is foreshadowing the later events involving Colin, Stefan and a balcony.
Also the name of his game is the name of another Black Mirror episode, "Nosedive"
The "O Superman" ending is my personal favorite.
Which is that one?
@@YoureRightIThink He gets the rabbit, chooses to go with his mom on the train.
the song is "O Superman" by Laurie Anderson
Stefan dying with his mom is the happiest ending. He doesn't have to suffer in an infinite loop.
I feel bad for you nahid bro, this really isn't made for an initial group playthrough, much more enjoyable for a one MAYBE two person watch, and group watch a 2nd time. I can feel the frustration.
He's just mad that this is the version that gets put on youtube lol
After watching this, I feel like I need this exact same group of Normies to play _Until Dawn_ on PS4.
Seconded.
thank god you guys did netflix. that part was insane.
To my knowledge, every ending is canon
Even
The
N E T F L I X
Ending?
@@rockaxe3990
...yes
nahid stright out of /r/iamverysmart
BioLoop r/ihavereddit
The first timeI did it, I got the Netflix ending where the girl makes the series for Netflix, my favorite
aparrently theres an easter egg ending. i got it on my first playthrough but i didnt even know it. to get it, you have to replay the game after every ending and get every single possible ending (or find this one very specific combination). could take between 30 minutes or 2 hours.
the secret ending is when he back on the bus, and he inserts a music tape titles "Bandersnatch" where instead of playing music it plays a series of jarring sounds.
what your suppose to do is record the sound on some outdated device that translates sound into code (used formally to download games off the radio) and it will generate a qr code. the qrwill then take you to a site where you can play the actual bandersnatch game
(SPOILERS)Honestly my favorite ending is the one where he takes the meds. To me that just seems like the best ending. He only stars spiraling after he stops taking meds and that's when he stars believing crazy shit about him being an actor in a film or that he's an experiment.
In the ending where he takes the meds he gets 2.5 stars (which for his first game that he made alone isn't bad), no one dies and he can start getting better like he was at the start of the film/game. I know people proably think its a boring ending but I'm just happy there's an ending where everyone's OK.
exactly same! I think the ending was one of the most stable ending out of all, where everyone lived relatively happy. The most instresting one though will have to be the one he chops the body
@@alaskabane5340 stable indeed. That's why he got 2.5 out of 5 stars. It's mid.
I agree with Nahid's play style - pick the option that sounds like it will have the most entertaining outcome regardless of whether or not I personally agree with the action taken
This should just be the way they do Avengers Endgame. Everyone's goal will be to find Dr. Strange's 1/14000605 path to victory.
You guys gotta do the "leap out the window" choice when you're about to fight the therapist
The tension with Nahid and everyone else 👀
Bro Nahid at the beginning had me dying lmao
Ariq Rashid he was being a little boy.
It’s embarrassing having a friend like that.
Homeboy was right tho.
@@bigchungus5933 I mean, the rest of them weren't thinking at all. I'd also be screaming if my friends picked Accept TWICE hahaha.
V elociraptor it’s cool to be a little shitty to your friends for fun, but he was being genuinely insulted by an irrelevant choice in a Netflix show 🤦🏻♂️
@@bigchungus5933 lol im pretty sure he wasnt seriously insulting their inteligence
Bandersnatch was fun as a concept piece. If they do something like this in the future, they should make it even more intricate and varied.
The second accept is totally reasonable. Things had changed, so why couldn't accepting be a different outcome?
The character literally said “i should try again”. If you were given a second chance, why would you do the same thing all over again and make the same mistake? Duh.
To all the people who are mad about them choosing twice, It was actually a smart idea. The director and writer had stated that if you choose an option twice something different happens. After all, you trying again isn't going back in time, but rather you in a diff timeline all together. Sooo, stop being so judgmental?!

Marketa was the unsung hero of this reaction. She knew her shit
lol noone listens to me
Shes a bitch fuck her, my fav ending didnt happen because of this bitch.
@@hamza9867 Nobody cares that u didn't see your favorite ending dude
@@hamza9867 chill your ass out, young one. it isn't that serious.
@@hamza9867 wow... alright lol
There’s an ending where they make a Netflix series about the events and you control the producer
Never have I disagreed with an entire group of people, and still enjoyed it
geez, can marketa NOT separate fiction and reality? every video I watch with her, she's so emotionally invested in the characters that she just sort of turns into a buzzkill.
She also can't abide fiction without it being an allegory for reality. She is very empathetic, so she is naturally finding the humanity in the material she watches. She hated the idea of alternate timelines or the present affecting the past, because only the notion of mental illness was acceptable since that was the most humane and grounded way to view the material. I don't think she's wrong, I just don't think the others are wrong either as she seemed to insist.
Bandersnatch is a word created by Lewis Carroll (Charels Lutwige Dodgson). It's first appeared in his novel Through the Looking Glass, the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It's one of the monsters described in the poem Alice reads called, Jabberwocky. There are TONS of Alice in Wonderland references throughout this video... I'm only 1 minute in, so idk if you guys ever catch on to this or not. If so, sorry. Lol
*Nahid doesnt get his way*
“I’m smarter then all of you, you’re all stupid.”
Leorio in the minority episode of HxH
Bandersnatch is one of the monsters in Alice in Wonderland. Bandersnatch is also based off the actual game that caused a company to go bankrupt just to produce
Theres an ending where you see the director of the show making the series for netflix, and she suffers from the same shit lmao
The best ending I got was when I chose Netflix and in the office fight tried to get out through the window. It was quite creepy as not long before I had theorise any of us could be method actors so ingrained in our roles that we no longer remember who we really are, only the character and role we have made ourselves adopt.
Lesson from this reaction
Never take Nahid to an escape room
KalandKara Zor-El never been in one and never watched the movie, but it wouldn’t it be better to bring as many different minded people as possible?
@@ximienlundquist8487 As someone who has been to an escape room multiple times, yes, the more people figuring out a solution, the faster it will go.
@21:25 "There are multiple dimensions, but you're in your own." Surag gets it.
Noooo you guys didn’t get the most gruesome ending... it was my fav SPOILERS
the kid kills his had and chops him into pieces and decapitates just like that author and gets 5/5 on his game. Then you unlock a new story it’s sort of like the same but modern time.
when I got to the fight scene, I chose "leap out the window" 😂👌 best ending. But in all seriousness, I think that the last ending that you guys got was the best, it just feels alot more true and gives him closure and peace
the girl second from the left is so salty near the end
4:03 you do realize this is a British show???? The Now That's What I Call Music CD series started in the UK. And yes, it started over a decade before the US started making them. The first Now CD was released November 28th, 1983. And Now 2 was released March 26, 1984. So this scene was accurate.
If you pick the toy password, you find the toy. If you pick PAC, you find incriminating evidence. Also the options change, the first time I played it, my options were between Pax and Pac.
omg the five of you playing bandersnatch together is just like watching Inside Out
Nahid is so extra
You are all wrong. Black Mirror deals with the near future. The "real" Black Mirror style story is about Collins daughter Pearl. She was attempting to understand some of her fathers decisions. That is why she was playing through/recreating his video game. She wanted to know why he killed himself. There was plenty of clues calling this a Collin Rickman(sp) choose your own adventure game.
Nahid my man had all my choices, even Netflix
so excited for it! ngl I stopped after 40 min cause I got a headache lol
Thanks for the subs y'all !
Did it wih the roomates and chose exactly the same choices as you...it was a trip !
This really turned them against each other.
It was glorious
In another reality i killed to see Nahid do his own run.... :) Great Stuff!
Man, what a show! Netflix you are great, Black mirror is even more.
When you're watching a tv show, do you really enjoy it more when the guy just backs off instead of killing someone? C'mon... lol
I respect a man's choices who wears a Bassnectar hat
Pick up the family photo twice - Netflix said.
It doesn't matter if you chose NO when Colin was offering the drugs, if Stefan said no, Colin will put the drug in Stefan's tea and they'd both still end up high.
I know Nahid is joking but he really drilling that he's the smartest of them all
my favourite ending is when you jump out of the window instead of fighting the therapist
I got the five star ending, the ending where he goes back in time and dies, and ending where I killed Collin, the netflix ending and the accept ending.
The entire movie is about the illusion of free will, hence why only one ending rolls the credits. You're forced to redo your choices until you finish.
The guy in the middle is my reaction to this video.
my two favorite endings are when you leave with your mother and when you pick "leap out the window" after saying its netflix!
You missed probably the biggest or main ending. You had to choose the weird sign and kill dad for it to be available.
Sounds like most the Normies needed a path that seems to be leaning more toward the phrase "a meaning to all reality". In our lives can be amazing. But more often it's more simplistic. Simple microscopic chaos or the complexed grand order makes our lives great! In every outward good that happens, accept the inner bad to join. And switch.
I got the Netflix, Leap out the window ending. And it was definitely one of my favorite endings once I played through a few more times!
The UK picked throw the tea the least. Wish they picked the window, that's my favourite ending.
28:11 The eye roll on the right!! 😂💖
The netflix version was definitely the best part of that episode
And when they were arguing about giving him the LSD, thought it was interesting what the guy in the middle was saying. It's true LSD really aint that bad, you can't OD on it or die from it and in small doses is even being used (experimentally) to treat mental disorders. It definitely will open your third eye so to speak, you will reach a higher state of consciousness and self-awareness, which sounds scary but I actually enjoyed it. I no longer take LSD because it can be habit forming and too much will fry your brain a bit, but after a short experimenting phase with it I feel back to normal but still 'see' so much more. Not literally like I don't hallucinate, but i notice so much more about society and reality and as Colin says it can help you "see the big picture". My phase with LSD actually resulted in me wanting to get my shit together more than ever, it made me see my laziness and lack of direction so clearly and now I have a good job, I'm a much better brother and son in my family, I can tell true friends from fake ones, and I'm more fit than I've ever been. And all the time, I just feel "awake" now, I compare it to what a Westworld robot might feel when they have woken up for the first time and realized the nature of their reality. You see much more clearly and know what's important.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Normies do a Bandersnatch sketch in the near future.
Holy crap, my ears. Next time, if there's a show like this again, I suggest you create some simple A/B signs to hold up to vote with. The screaming isn't great to listen to.
You should be expecting them to scream in every video to be honest. That's just how they are.
This way is more exciting anyways.
@@ximienlundquist8487 True, it's not really the screaming alone that is the problem, it's the screaming over each other. I don't mind reaction screams (to an extent), but they should find a way to better communicate votes.
@@AdamPFarnsworth I actually enjoyed how panicked they got. They were really absorbed into this movie. And surprisingly, they also never really had a hard time choosing. They were able to cast their vote and press the right option before time ran out.
On my playthrough, I barely had time to think and almost every choice was difficult.
That's basically their MO. Personally I like real reactions, the same way my friends and I reacted
@@rafaelreyes1732 I'm not sure what you mean by "real" reactions. But, if it's "basically their MO" and you don't prefer the way they react, it seems like this might be the wrong channel for you? (I'm sure they appreciate your views though lol)
All the stuff Nahid said at the end was just WOW lol.
Rana sounds better good for her
The guy that says ''you idiots, stupids'' is my spirit animal
I've never clicked so fast in a normies reaction! i've been waiting for this one :D
There's the chop up dad ending when you get 5 stars
pick the family picture 2x for a interesting ending
Apparently there is an ending that gives you a frequency, that you need to record, and playback in a computer to get a QR code. To download a version of nosedive, Colin's game. I got a scene where Colin give's you a list of music to program to. He goes to a music store and you have to choose between 2 albums. I also got an ending where you chop up your dad and the game reviewer gives you 5 stars. Another ending I got was someone in present day reviews the game, and she has the option to spill tea on her computer, I think the other option was destroy computer. My first run I got to the locked cabinet in Dad's room, I had PAX or PAC, I never saw the toy option before. I heard you can also be killed by the Author of the Bandersnatch book in an ending.
Edit, apparently Colin can comeback to life, if he jumps off the balcony.
There IS a happy ending though!
I've heard a ton of different opinions about Bandersnatch. Here's mine.
I liked it at first. I spent about 2/3h with it and discovered all the endings, and was pretty satisfied by this fact. Then, talking with friends and online, I recalled some moments that went over my head and my opinion started to change. I realized that I liked Bandersnatch because I played it like a videogame, and not as an interactive movie. And it was sponsored and boosted as an interactive movie, not a videogame. If I want a videogame, I'll play Monkey Island; if I watch Black Mirror, I want a narrative and not only "choices".
Choices. Well, more or less. As the Normies did, I chose to work in the office and had to go back first thing. That is gargabe right off the bat, but it was the beginning of the episode and it was one of the thing that went over my head. Also, the fact that small things changed when you go into the office again, like Colin knowing the book or Stefan remembering stuff, got me interested, and I thought it would all make sense in the end. Spoiler alert: it doesn't. So, the episode felt more like a labyrinth, where you take the wrong turn and have to go back and change decision until you reach the 1-2 pre-determined exits.
So, not only there is no a real interactive plot, but it is not even well written for Christ's sake.
1) Colin tells you that people continue to live in different timelines even if they die in another one, but when Stefan dies in the trainwreck he dies in the other timeline too. Was Colin wrong? If he was, that would explain why he suddenly disappeared after he jumped from the balcony even if we go back, but this goes against the fact that if you jump instead of Colin, you die and really do come back. In a videogame it is acceptable, here it is not.
2) The trainwreck. Stefan and his mother had to leave with the 8.30 train, but Stefan wasted time looking for Rabbit, so the mother had to took the 8.45 train, which derailed. But when the adult Stefan goes back in time and rescues Rabbit, him and his mother are still late and have to take the 8.45 train, both of them ending up dead. Why? The whole point of that storyline was that the father hid Rabbit, made Stefan waste time and got the mother killed. That's why Stefan hates him. But if they would have died anyway, what does this whole storyline matters?
3) The Netflix ending was pure nonsense and cringe.
So if you are playing it like a videogame, trying to fulfill your sense of completist-ness like grinding for the missing piece of armor, it's nice. If you want an actually interactive, branched and detailed plot, you may save yourself a couple of hours.
Hoping this does not offend anyone, they are just personal opinions.
8:50 damn that was funny as hell
Hey normies, I encourage you guys to play Until Dawn next. You're going to love that game.
You guys were made for this format. I wonder when this form of show presentation will occur again.
NOW 2 NOW 2! I choose that too, not knowing is that a song or a band?
"Hold me, mom...In your automatic arms
..."
36:55 You can tell the dude in the middle already seen this scene. He was just waiting for their reactions.
NOW 2 is from the original British NOW series which the US version is based on. The British version started in the 80s.
For my ending I call it "Origins of setfan the butcher"😎😎
Hahaha so funny, literally a couple minutes i just watched it, came to my computer and what i see? a react to Bandersnatch. (sorry my bad english)
Same. Creepy af
You guys really just need to keep doing it. My options in the bathroom at one point were to take the pills or flush the pills (not throw away). I also had the choice of burying his dad (or something else that I won’t spoil). I also had like two more scenes with Colin and Kitty separately. Also, you should explore not fighting the doctor/psychiatrist since the choice of fighting her took you to an ending for Stefan. Where does that other branch go?
I love how Marketa is the only one concerned for Stefan's wellbeing.
The "Mom" ending is my favorite. As sad as it was, it gave Stefan some much needed peace after everything he's been through. It's the closest he'll get to a happy ending in this twisted, unfair world.
I definitely feel there was one "happier" than that, but it's all about perspective, right?
As many people have probably already commented y'all have many many more endings of this show left to find and technically you got four endings because right at the beginning you got the quickest cheapest bland is cut ending where you had to go back and do it all over again
rip ears - also, when I watched it I got full black credits - and the story kept going a bit from there afterwards. You guys missed an entire area
I picked netflix and it was so fun seeing that side. I got so many endings before the "real" one with him dying with his mum. So sad but man wish they do more of these. So so so good
Lol homeboy in the middle know what’s up lol 😂 cuz he knows the good endings lol
