Bernard in accounting is two references in one: a reference to Bernard Stark, Howard’s pet flamingo in Agent Carter Season 2, and Bernard in Accounting from Captain Carter’s reality in the Season 1 finale.
Maybe if Hammer had gone with the Sokovia team it would put them on the Avenger's radar, and that did happen in the mainline so we do have a turning point?
That's another thing I love about this series, while we sit here and watch different worlds, heroes and stories we wish we had, I think about the similarities that may occur in our main universe, around the time of AoU Tony was working on making a hulk without the anger issues? Tony was willing to create another, possibly after already messing up with Ultron 😂
That overdramatic caterer says the same line that Ned Leads said to distract people on the bus so that Peter could sneak out and help Tony fight Cull Obsidian in Infinity war
11:37 Wow, you didn't even mention W.A.D.S.W.O.R.T.H.'s name origin. It's from CLUE, Wadsworth was the butler, who pretended to be Mr. Boddy and was killed, and the character you know as Wadsworth for most of the story is actually Mr. Boddy in disguise. Also... please tell me I'm not the only person who saw Hulked Out Happy Hogan and got flashbacks from The Amazing Bulk.
2 things: 1. I think, keyword think that maybe the Sokovian Team thing is a reference to Zemo, we know he was the head of a kill squad, so like... Idk maybe 2. The article is called Science Bros. I'm screaming, thats Bruce and Tony's ship name. We love to see it
at the beginning, does the watcher not say "twas the night before christmas, and all through the tower", not "all through the town"? the subtitles on disney+ say "town" but i'm pretty sure it sounds like he's saying "tower", which would make more sense with the rhyming scheme!
I know this probably shouldn't be done with every series but I'm loving the treat of an episode every day thus far. What a great bonus for my holiday break.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention this since this channel loves to reach but in the first shot of happy in the A of avengers tower, the framing makes it look like a 4 which I believe *could* be a hint to the fantastic four?
Honestly, when the episode started, i expected it to end the other way around, with hammer taking the hulk serum and happy in the hulkbuster, i was surprised it was the opposite
The Nebula episode did a good job as a homage to Blade Runner without calling itself Blade Runner. Making direct shout outs to Die Hard in a parody of Die Hard was too on the nose for me. But otherwise fantastic episode.
9:39 Kate Bishop was right about Hawkeye’s Branding issue
That was funny and sad at the same time xD
I like to believe that the line from Clint about the wife telling him not to come home without the toy is a reference to Jingle All The Way
I thought that too!
Yuppers
Oh definitely!
Didnt no one know ab his family before that point 💀 since its befor AOU
So glad it's not just me. Especially the shelves having all the Hawkeyes 😢
Happy's call sign of Puffin-1 is likely a nod to him voicing Arctic Puffin in Elf.
Bernard in accounting is two references in one: a reference to Bernard Stark, Howard’s pet flamingo in Agent Carter Season 2, and Bernard in Accounting from Captain Carter’s reality in the Season 1 finale.
Might also be a reference to the elf Bernard in The Santa Clause!
Also Happy boxed Matt Murdock's dad Jumping Jack Murdock
Nice!
Also, Jeffrey Wright's character on Westworld is called Bernard.
I literally laughed when the needle went into his leg. That's slapstick level absurdity, and I wasn't expecting the story to go that way.
I’m surprised they didn’t try to do a ace ventura joke with it
LOVING THIS SEASON SO FAR. I wish there were MORE episodes. JESS, loving your coverage!
Jess’ coverage is actually BETTER than the episode in this one.
I know it was all played for laughs mostly but this episode had some really killer fight sequences.
Don't skip the end credits to hear the full version of Darcy's song, guys 😂
Love Darcy
Yes, that's classic Werner Herzog banter in there
What If season 2 has been a lot of fun so far
Cool
I don't know, what IF season 2 was a lot of fun?
What if What If...? season two was more fun than all the recent Marvel offerings put together?
Well the first episode was more scary/dark than fun to me but the title are kinda funny
Yes.. it's better than Secret Invasion, ms marvel etc.
"Have you ever had an actual paying job?" Best line of Ep3
Poor Darcy 😅
13:12. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed the Rolex reference. Such a cool little detail.
I bet jon Favreau had alot of fun voicing this episode.
I've really enjoyed this season so far and loved this episode!
I think the Watcher’s poem actually says ‘all throughout the tower’ which does rhyme with ‘superpower’ 🤓
You’re right. The watcher does say tower to rhyme with power. I was wondering if anyone in the comments caught that correction. Great job!
Dang here I was backing Jessica up!
They turn Happy Hogan into Hulk Hogan 😂😂😂! This episode is full of puns!
Exactly, haha
That oil bloodbath scene felt so Werewolf by Night
Maybe if Hammer had gone with the Sokovia team it would put them on the Avenger's radar, and that did happen in the mainline so we do have a turning point?
Who stayed until the end just to hear darcy sing the rest.
I did but I couldn't understand the song 😅
I'm surprised no one made the joke that Happy was standing in the A-Hole.
😎😂
So glad to see more of the fabulous Jessica Clemons!
Season 2 better than expected 😊
Possibly "Bernard in accounting" is a reference to the elf in The Santa Clause.
This was I think the most hulk smash sequence ever
That's another thing I love about this series, while we sit here and watch different worlds, heroes and stories we wish we had, I think about the similarities that may occur in our main universe, around the time of AoU Tony was working on making a hulk without the anger issues?

These episodes are getting better and better 😂❤🎁
This episode was definitely a surprise in terms of what happened in it.
Nice
Wandsworth is the name of the Butler from the Clue movie played by Tim Curry. I'm playing him in a one act play next month
Love this season so far... 🤘
The Watcher: (sighs) Isn't this nice?
The scene with bruce/Clint and the toy was probably a reference to the movie “jingle all the way”
every episode so far has given us a Team at the end of the episodes
Great catch. Every episode I wonder how it could tie in to a finale the way season 1 did.
11:37 Wow, you didn't even mention W.A.D.S.W.O.R.T.H.'s name origin.
It's from CLUE, Wadsworth was the butler, who pretended to be Mr. Boddy and was killed, and the character you know as Wadsworth for most of the story is actually Mr. Boddy in disguise.
Also... please tell me I'm not the only person who saw Hulked Out Happy Hogan and got flashbacks from The Amazing Bulk.
why is it specifically a reference to Clue, though?
@@AnferneeMyersBecause it's an A.I named after a butler like J.A.R.V.I.S
@@AnDrei-nf5jb oooh fair
THE AMAZING BULK
Oh yea that's right! And Clue is one of my favorite movies so it rung a bell.
Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🎁
This was a fun episode, Happy deserves the spot light 🙌
This was definitely an Avengers Christmas treat!!!
Also Hulk Happy, looks like the amazing Bulk
10:00 felt there was a Jingle All The Way ref there too! 😸
Let's go Ross Marquand! very nice actor amazing person met him at a convention back 2022
I like happys hulk design
9:46 is a nod to Jingle all the way with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
2 things:
1. I think, keyword think that maybe the Sokovian Team thing is a reference to Zemo, we know he was the head of a kill squad, so like... Idk maybe
2. The article is called Science Bros. I'm screaming, thats Bruce and Tony's ship name. We love to see it
Loved this episode!
This was a good one, episode 2 so far is the best for me.
There's also a reference to Bernard in accounting, who was name dropped in the finale of last season.
Bernard was the name of Jeffrey Wright’s character in West World.
I loved the hulk hogan smash scenes but it really makes me wish our jolly green giant had more time like that
Darcy going “but I’m adorable” reminded me of the Toads in the Mario movie saying “but we’re adorable!”
Thank you for doing this during the holidays. Much appreciated.
Watched die hard a few days ago so all references were fresh in my mind
All I could see was Happy’s bill go up $50 mil every time he smashed a sentry lol
Happy Holidays to you and your family🎄Excellent video!
The Purple Hulk character reminds me of Krunk from the Justice friends a parody of both the Thing and the Hulk.
I love how much fun you're having Jessica!!!
no word about the hilarious darcy song after the end credits?
at the beginning, does the watcher not say "twas the night before christmas, and all through the tower", not "all through the town"? the subtitles on disney+ say "town" but i'm pretty sure it sounds like he's saying "tower", which would make more sense with the rhyming scheme!
Love it when Jessica is here ❤❤
3:39 THANK YOU JESSICA
Happy holidays Jessica and Jessica's mom!! Amazing work as always :D
This one was a very fun one. :D
Happy "Hogan"lidays. :D
I know this probably shouldn't be done with every series but I'm loving the treat of an episode every day thus far. What a great bonus for my holiday break.
Merry Christmas Jessica and Mom.
Merry Christmas NR!
When the Avengers appear together on screen at the end of the episode it's the first time the whole team shows up since Endgame.
1:20 He actually does rhyme, he doesn’t say town, he says tower, which ends up rhyming with superpower
The does thyme, he says "All through the tower" which rhymes with superpower
Merry Christmas Jess’ Awesome Mom
"Who's your best friend? ...SPANDEX!" Nice reference to SHulk.
Merry Christmas momma Clemons!
When Happy Hogan was destroying the Cetry Bots it felt like when the Hulk tossed around Loki. “Puny God” scene.
Happy Christmas 🤶 peeps
The part when Hammer and his guys came out the elevator also reminded me of when the joker did it in The Dark Knight
Thanks for doing these Jessica!
We back you up about the rhyming at the beginning, that was great 😹
8:52 Janice Lincoln is a member of Mysterio’s crew in FFH
I’m surprised you didn’t mention this since this channel loves to reach but in the first shot of happy in the A of avengers tower, the framing makes it look like a 4 which I believe *could* be a hint to the fantastic four?
Merry Christmas to you, your fam, and the NR team :D
For a minute, I was worried they were gonna go the whole episode and not say "Hulk Hogan".
Merry Christmas to the NR team !! 🎄🙏🏻❤️
I had no idea that the song had a total of 239 birds 🐦
Bird up!
The scene with the Action figures is a refrence to "Jingle All the Way"
3:02 it’s actually 364 birds/gifts in total given in the 12 days of Christmas
I love how it was happy that got the hulks blood I wasn't expecting that at all
Merry Christmas
Happy’s voice, mouth grin, and facial features kept making me think of Two Face from the animated Batman series.
1:20 The Watcher said, "T'was the night before Christmas and all through the TOWER..." not "town". It did rhyme.
I would want a Clint figure because Hawkeye is amazing
Merry Christmas Momma Jessica!🎄
1:21 "Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the *tower*"!! Not town, tower!!
The reference to the Skovian team could be Baron Zeno, as he was skovian special forces & may have been up for hire
Honestly, when the episode started, i expected it to end the other way around, with hammer taking the hulk serum and happy in the hulkbuster, i was surprised it was the opposite
3:46 he's holding red poinsettia flowers, they represent dishonesty
The Nebula episode did a good job as a homage to Blade Runner without calling itself Blade Runner. Making direct shout outs to Die Hard in a parody of Die Hard was too on the nose for me. But otherwise fantastic episode.
No mention of the hallway scene being an homage to Werewolf By Night?
Merry Christmas, Jessica's Mom!
Jessica got bars!!!!
great break down Jessica 👍🏾
1:25 he says “Tower” it’s just the subtitles got it wrong and he said it quietly without enunciating.
Lulu ur doing a great job. Love your energy!
I loved all the hoilday puns in this episode! So they have two Hulk on the same team?? bruh that is so unfair and cruel😂
Merry Christmas, Jessica’s Mom!!! ❤ 🎄
what if s2 is going good so far can't wait for the other ones
Thank you Jessica, and MERRY CHRISTMAS Jessica's MoM🎄🎄🎄
