If you're able to vote in Britain today, and you haven't yet: go do it before watching this! Otherwise, please enjoy 15 minutes of nobody reminding you to vote.
In Britain, too young.
It doesn't matter who you vote for, as long as you vote and do your part!
Hell, even if you don't like any of the parties make sure to spoil your ballot as a protest vote! Not turning up at all is the worst possible outcome!
Joshua Pearson Well it does matter who you vote for, but it matters most that you vote.
Monster raving loony party!
Will Seaward ain't foolin' me. I know a wizard when I see one.
_You’re a harry, Wizard_
Hagrid actually wasnt trained to br a wizard
@@Tonatsi Will seaward is indeed a hairy wizard
_Panthers?_
The words "Mustrum" and "Ridcully" leap stridently to mind, if you give him a few decades.
"When I ate Matt I stole his powers." Will Seaward is Kirby.
Trey Faucheux
whann toooo oaattt meeeaaalll

kirbo
his laugh tho
Panthers?
Will is just the physical embodiment of the word Jolly
Ghost of Christmas Present vibes coming off of this wizard
@@kiwienterprises6984 or Tom Bombadil
He's superbly sanguine!
As a fake prize, I am both sad and proud that I thought of this.
You've won a memory game made by the author of "Discworld" in which you pair together identical axes. It's "Terry Pratchett's Hatchet Match-it".
YUS
That’s just fantastic, I try to come up with my own but I’ll not bother, I’m not beating that.
I've had it in my head for some time now that "throw another shrimp on the barbie" is Paul Hogan's bogan slogan. That's all I've got.
Yee I have one (which I had thought of just now): an animal with a mental illness from the arctic- a bipolar polar polar....oh wait its leaving! Bye bye bipolar polar polar
A professional wrestler's motto based on a DC superhero = Hulk Hogan's Logan Slogan
“They’re not pests, they’re legitimate countries”. I almost choked on my beer
I don't get it...
@@NoNameAtAll2 "There have been many attempts to deal with pests, particularly Australia and New Zealand." - Tom Scott
tom scott was talking about how australia and new zealand have tried to get rid of pests before, but this sentence can also be interpreted as saying that australia and new zealand are pests
To be fair, a not unimportant part of the australian population are descendants of convicts that got marooned on the other side of the world to get rid of them.
Will looks like Matt's second evolution
"This isn't even my final form."
Did he level up or did he use a stone?
metropod no no no, he GOT stoned, then leveled up.
Neither, he was traded.
Happiny
Will Seaward has a kind of "Ghost of Christmas present" vibe.
snakesocks exactly what I thought!
snakesocks I thought "youthful Brian Blessed" :)
As did I
I need him to read my a bedtime story. All of them.
Lawrence Calablaster I was going to say his son but that's better
Hey, New Zealand managed to get on the spinning wheel of "Which nation are we making fun of today?" You know, the one that's almost entirely labeled "France".
Never been prouder of my country.
What about now with the rise of Taika Waititi
It's like Wheel of Fortune with the $1 million dollars sandwiched between the Bankrupt panels
We've talked about this before, it's just a piece of cardboard that says *_"France"_* on it
The whole shell was France they just stuck more and more countries on as they went
I met Will Seaward once, at York Uni's PantSoc 10th Anniversary party. I still don't believe he's real; the phrase "larger than life" was invented for him!
Please tell me "PantSoc" means "Panthers Society".
@@dominateeye God I really hope so
@@dominateeye oh, I was thinking "pants society"
Pantomime Society
We should have one with Will AND Matt just for 20 minutes of puns.
I would like this, but it's on 69 likes and I don't want to ruin it
yes
panthers?
Garry : goes off on a tangent
Tom: *ding*
Gary: "I'm getting a point for that?"
Tom: "Yes, but actually no"
The bill oddy heckler deserves a medal - fantastic timing
Will is like if Weird Al was turned into a viking
.. How the hell did you come up with that?
And how are you so right?
I knew the cobra effect, but only because of the late Sir Terry Pratchett, whose character, Lord Vetinari, faced with the consequences of a bounty on rat tails, solved it with four words: "tax the rat farms"...
You know where this is?
@@silaspoulson9935 one of the Diskworld novels.
@@mirjanbouma thanks, you know which one? Have read quite a few but haven't read this bit
I'm tempted to say
Guards Guards
silas poulson Soul Music, I think
panthers?
euan todd panthers
paaanᵗʰᵉʳˢ?
I need that as my text alert...
PKMartin I second this
euan todd *paanthers?*
I'm not convinced Will is a real person...
I think he's really Brian Blessed.
Speaking of Brian Blessed, if you haven't already seen it, pull up Tom's video about self-checkout voices.
JorWat25 He looks like a pirate on the Pirates of the Carribean ride that got loose.
Perhaps... "panthers?"
Definitely a panther. He just dropped the pipe on the way in.
Sorry, but I feel the mystery biscuit should've gone to the "french alleyways". That was just brilliant.
My sides were completely obliterated
noob
@@A_2the_lex ok boomer
The thing is, everyone missed the best bit - it goes through, or "traverses" french alleyways.
I don't know how someone can come up with a pun of that calibre that quickly.
@@chrisoddy8744 Someone needs to go back in time and make sure Will gets Biscuited.
Tom's facial expressions when he asked where Stephens Island was and Chris replied "The Sea!" are just priceless
I freaking love Will's laugh. It is such a belly laugh.
This guy is like a descendant of Santa Claus. If Jon Snow was related to Santa it'd be Will.
I'm guessing Matt went to buy the $100 hamburger, hence why he's not here
Wonder if he’s doing it in his hovercraft
*P A N T H E R S ? ?*
*_I N D I A ? ?_*
N O V A S C O T I A ? ?
*R E L E A S E T H E C O B R A S*

I really want Jay Foreman as a stand-in now!
Presumably whoever's off.
Nillie probably Matt since he’s never there
Trey Faucheux who's that matt ?
And Geoff Marshall.
THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN
Will Seward is the most brilliant Hagrid in the world.
Will's laugh is simultaneously the most pure and impure thing on this planet and it never fails to make me smile
I was on a Harry Potter tour last year and this guy was my tour guide
harry potter killed my muv
Harry Potter killed my NPC on the way back from the Formidine Rift.
Alex Baumgartner Were any panthers around by any chance?
@@iLikeTheUDK panthers??
Alex the transphobe
I've met the Stephens Island lighthouse keeper and stayed a night at his house (he lives on D'Urville Island now because the lighthouse is automated). From what I could gather the major part of his job consists of conservation rather than lighthouse maintenance these days, which is somewhat ironic. Note that this isn't the same lighthouse keeper who introduced the cat, he's long dead.
Will has the most enjoyable laugh. I think of English Santa.
So Father Christmas
Is there a major difference in their laughs?
*_panthers?_*
Matt did the fusion dance with Brian Blessed?
Hah... Steven Universe joke.
Not even close.
foxman105 Dragonball Z joke achutaly.
Will sort of seems like a Brian Blessed that has been scaled down for use indoors.
@@HaloInverse Brian Blessed is the final evolution of Will Seward
I love the fact typing "New Zealand Fecking Big Eagle" into Google does actually work and brings up Haast's Eagle - Tom didn't make that up!
That new guys laugh is pure gold
That guy has an awesome voice and intonation.
I find it really annoying. To me, he always sounds like he's convinced that he just made the greatest joke of the show and waiting for everyone to laugh - despite Gary being way funnier than him.
forced & considerably annoying
Have y'all ever thought that maybe it's his natural laugh? I know someone who's normal laugh (once he REALLY gets going) sounds exactly like that.
Gyaeh hyah hyah hyah hyeh!
I miss Matt, but this guy has a positively regal laugh
Can someone please make a MP3 of him saying Panthers to use as a text alert?
John Beauvais I did that using sony vegas pro.
Done also, with audacity.
Would you like it put up for download? xD
@@jayglenn837 yes, please do
imagine if just in the middle of the night you get a threatening text but when it was sent you heard “pantheRRRsz?” and you can’t stop laughing
You've won an egg-and-cream-based dessert from a recipe created by a famous American Civil War officer which will be applied to your nether regions.
...that's General Custer's Genital Custard.
I was thinking Jefferson Davis Cream Pie
i hope for as long as i live, i never have to read the phrase "genital custard"
SPIRITUS SANCTUS, no. No no no no no no no no no no no.
Go away. Go away.
Remove this unholy stain that calls to mind a certain unlicensed Atari game to all who have the misfortune to know of it.
I love how now google autofills “New zealand fe” as “New Zealand fecking big eagle”
Most extinct birds are indeed flightless.
most birds are extinct
That's what happens to dinosaurs.
and literally typing "new zealand fecking big eagle" brings up haast's eagle
Certainly are now.
Well of course they are! They can't fly anymore one they've gone extinct!
"A light-house keeper's cat named Tibbles." I'm am just now recovering my breath, my face drenched with tears. No, it's not what you think. After that comment, I'm throwing my depression meds away.
12:16 I just noticed, that window behind them has the weird optical illusion where you see dark dots at the crossing points.
God damn it I can't unsee this now
(4:25) I get that the subtitles are meant to help people understand, but it's also fun when it includes errors like the previous "tephelone". Chris did say "humings" and not "humans".
It was just translated by an Ork. WAAAAGH
6:47
'Round and 'round the rugged rock: the ragged rascal wren.
@wossy
@@ahreuwu a-va, a-ra, a-va, a-ra
"Troglodytes summat-elsesius" had me in stitches.
Will is like if Matt and Brian Blessed got in two teleporters and got 'The Fly'ed together
That "Panthers" can be a good distractionator for the next Battle of the Beer.
for that "release the cobra's" is even better
Of course the ornithologist wins the episode about a bird.
This show is CLEARLY rigged.
Was Gary yelling "Get out of my office" the thing that made you laugh for a full minute in the youtube editing room, Tom?
mistaecco nah, _Panthers_
I love Chris Joel's reaction when tibbles is mentioned.
Will only needed to eat Matt because Jay Foreman stole all of his food
God that's an obscure reference
Ah, vintage
Run awaying without paying puts me in a good mood
This needs to be a 5 person show now
When I first saw this Will Seaward fellow my brain immediately went to "How did Tom get William Shakespeare the time traveler on the show?"
Chris' joke about introducing an elaborate passport service is underrated tbh. Love this episode!
they've brought a bloody disney villain on
Will Seaward looks like Matt Gray with Evolved hair.
it's called super saiyan :D
Super Grayan.
Jesus christ I love Will Seward. Laughed my eyes out this episode, even more than usual
After seeing Will Seaward, I understand why famous English kings were compared to lions
This is like a weird Dungeons and dragons session.....
So any good dnd session?
Has Will Seaward ever considered a part in Dickens Christmas Carol as Christmas present? Would be perfect for the role.
My thoughts exactly
I would like to point out that Will Seaward is in fact the ghost of Christmas Present from the Muppets Christmas Carol.
9:00 probably the best moment of the series
I need a t-shirt of Will's face at 5:04 with the word "Panthers?" on it!
Will Seward's laugh is such a joy
I've always worried what kind of world we'd inhabit if Brian Blessed ever passed away
But Will Seaward has given me hope for the human race
May we have more CN with Will? He fits in well. (doesn't have to replace Matt but we need more of him.)
Nillie The puns would just grow and take over everything like a hilarious, cringey tumor!
It'd be a pun off
Mian Cowell matt would pun off with the prize.
We need more Will. He's like a little jolly Brian Blessed.
"Panthers?" is an all-timer techdif/citneed quote!
Will's smile and chuckle immediately following his claim of having eaten Matt makes him seem oddly sinister, like he actually did it.
hello and welcome back to three dry sarcastic northern men and the most delightful being to ever live
9:09 proves that the laughing owl still lives; there's one in the audience
I should not have watched this on the train. Now I have a carriage full of commuters who think I'm crazy because I've been laughing so hard...
I think you found one of the best possible stand-ins for Matt. Will is hilarious!
Hey, wait a minute, wasn't Will the food van driver in Jay Foreman's "Stealing Food"?
Chris was on fire today!
"PANTHERS?" will never be boring to me
Surprisingly high number of spit-takes by Chris in this episode! :)
Thanks to some new google detection coding, searching "fecking big eagle" will bring this episode up at the top of the results in chrome - clicking the link will take you directly to 8:36...
Well played
Panthers has been my SMS tone for my mate who showed me this
I love that people have searched "New Zealand fecking big eagle" so much that it's now in Google's autocomplete.
Ah, this guy fits right in! Love him! If you ever decide to do a 4-player game I'd love to see him again.
I voted.I hope that Matt Gray will be in the next Citation needed !
Will's in for the next episode, but Matt will be back for the last two of this season!
Tom Scott please get will in in the next season. Just replace everybody once or twice. Because he is great.
Get Will and Matt in the same room and make an extended outtake of just 20 minutes of horrible puns.
Will Seaward is the ghost of Christmas Present.
OMG, it's Will Seaward from Questionable!! (that I just happened to watch yesterday)
Coincidentally, there's also a Stephens Island off the coast of British Columbia (other end of Canada from Nova Scotia, alas). Both named for the same person, Sir Philip Stephens, Secretary of the Admiralty (because apparently once was not enough).
5:27 photos taken 1 second before disaster
If you ever do a 9th series Will and Math Matt *must* be in a show together.
Love how google now autosuggests "New Zealand fecking big eagle" halfway through typing. Guess I'm not the only one who tried that when watching this.
How did these guys manage to get through this with the ghost of Christmas present right there?
Always nice to see parsley the lion getting work.
The amount of Chris spit-takes in this episode is phenomenal.
I love Chris' sudden and violent spit take as soon as Tom says ''Tibbles''
Several years ago I walked the Routeburn Track in New Zealand and it's the only walk I've done where distance was measured in dead ferret/weasel/stoat traps(!) Another way to deal with pests is the phrase "if you see a possum, squash 'em"
(12:00) Gary: I can never go to the zoo
Subtitles: I can never go to the cinema
He clearly says cinema
9:04 - The best moment of the episode.
Will is definitely the ghost of christmas present
These videos are terribly fun to watch. It feels like hanging out with hilarious, and yet so very clever, friends.
The window behind Chris is doing that weird optical illusion thing and hurting my eyes!
David G Burns you mean the spots at all the intersections that appear to be flickering about??
David G Burns David G Burns you mean the spots at all the intersections that appear to be flickering about??
yup thats the one!
Of all episodes of citation needed this is by far the best one. This one is pure comedy gold
Well this was a delightful surprise. I love your educational videos and then.. this pops up. Now I'm off to enjoy all the previous episodes!!
To provide a timestamp for the now immortal moment:
5:04
Instant corpsing. Thank you.
Hehe I see myself in the back of the audience woo!
Thank you for such a wonderful panel guys, was a pleasure to rewatch! ♥
I would have gotten mystery biscuits! We had the bones of those birds, with the story about the lighthouse keeper's cat on a plaque, next to our geography class in high school. I must have read that story so many times while waiting for class to begin.
A cat says it loves you by leaving dead bodies in your door step , but when I do it it’s wrong - brilliant!!
Years from now anthropologists will use this video and others like it to determine that interesting RUclips personalities are all serial killers.
8:38 To this day if you look this up you still get the same result. I shouldn't be surprised but I do find it amusing.
