Trash Taste After Dark: Jeopardy (hosted by Chris Broad). Would be absolutely hilarious, and the categories could be like “Japanese history”, “Welsh town names”, “Traditional Thai Food”, “Bookwalker exclusive titles”, “Anime Opening Songs”, and “Potpurri” which is literally just about anything they have talked about in season 1 of Trash Taste.
This is so funny to watch as a french native speaker, because Garnt is actually god damn right. Almost every word considered hard to spell in this stream actually comes from french or is transparent. So it seemed very easy to me even though I'm not an english native speaker. Out of the 45 words that appeared in this Spelling Bee, 15 came from french, and 24 are transparent. And most of them were right at the end, so the harder ones, like "rendez-vous", "manœuvre", "penchant" or "dénouement".
@@tecktonalex French words are way harder to spell than Greek ones. The words of Greek origin are generally phonetically consistent in their spelling. You hear the 'sye' sound at the beginning of a word and you know it's spelt 'psy'. Not to mention the fact that, while certain Greek words are very obviously not Saxon, a lot have been integrated into the English language, such that having a silent 'p', for example, doesn't feel weird to write. French words on the other hand are have letters which are never voiced - not even in the French language - and seemingly no set logic. An 'ou' sound can be written 'œu' as in manœuvre, or 'oue' as in denouement. Greek has no such ambiguity.
The smell of durian is related to how it attracts the animals that pollinate them (bats). Bats don't rely like birds or bees do on visual cues since they're doing this nocturnally. The over-ripe smell of durian tells the bats about the condition of the fruit in terms of ripeness.
i live with durian my whole life but didn't know about this. so that's why i occasionally find bats fly near my house whenever the durian season is near.
It's actually rather easy to fuck up mashed potatoes. Here are some of the common mistakes that people do : - Failing to boil the potatoes long enough, which results in a crunchy mash. - Overboiling the potatoes, which ruins the taste of potato. - Peel VS no peel. Many have debated whether one should peel the potatoes at all. Depending on the type of potato and personal preference, peeling is not always necessary. - Under mashing and over mashing of potatoes. Some people like to have some chunks left in the mash. Others prefer the mash to be buttery smooth. It is fairly easy to over-mash the potatoes. - Next we enter the complex realm of adding stuff into the mash. Pure mash potatoes with no spice can be rather bland. Thankfully mash potatoes go well with just about any spice. The trick is to no overdo it. I've had mashed potatoes with too much salt, too much pepper, to much water, milk, butter, sour cream, various herbs, mustard, ketchup and the list goes on and on. Too much spice will easily overpower the subtle flavor of potato and ruin the dish. - And obviously, using anything but actual raw and fresh potatoes as the base for the mash is an automatic fail. Powdered potatoes, potato paste, the frozen pre-mashed potato that comes in a box, all of that stuff is vile, yet some people insist on using it over actual potato, or in conjunction with actual potato, which should be a war crime honestly. And that's just trying to avoid failing to do a passable mash. Perfecting the mash potato is an art form in and of itself that requires years of practice and fine tuning. Even a tiny variation in the balance of spice and added liquid can make the difference between a SSS+ mash and a A- mash. Some people are used to doing it by ear, but for the uninitiated who wishes to reach new heights in the art of the potato mash, measuring cups and scales are a must to achieve that perfect balance.
I'm from the Philippines. I remember the time when we had an Australian exchange student. In English class, we had at least 3 spelling test every week. And this girl came to the teacher and said "I don't need it, I speak the language" The teacher laughed then said the first word- "onomatopoeia". The reaction on that girl's face was priceless when she whispered to me "what the fck is that word?" She got 3 out of 15, while the rest of us got around 11 to 13. Since that day, her attitude towards our class changed. Good for her. Edit: this happened when we were in 2nd year highschool.
To answer Connor's question for why some fruits smell so bad: It's an evolutionary trait to deter certain animals/parasites from eating them. Thats also why plants devised spices, its a poison for parasites so they stop eating them. We as humans just evolved to generally like spices[specially in hotter regions] because its how we preserved food. So it was evolutuonary that "You need to be able to eat spice cuz thats how we perserve food."
Since this is a spelling bee video, here's due diligence: -The past tense is preserved, not persevered -Perserve is not a word -'Its' is possessive, 'it's' is a contraction of 'it is'
@@stevencurtis7157 Its not a spice. Its the general use for spice before refrigerators were invented. As the tropical/warmer regions didnt have winter to preserve their meat, spices were used for that same purpose as it killed bacteria and allowed the food to be stored for longer. It's only nowadays that spices have become more of a commodity that's ingrained into nearly everyone as we no longer need it to keep food fresh.

spelling bees are so stressful man. i'm always reminded of how when i was in elementary school, i had participated in a county-wide spelling bee that had a fairly large audience watching. the word i got was "abdomen". i knew how to spell this word. i didn't consider this word particularly difficult. but i got so anxious in front of such a big crowd that the first letter that came out of my mouth.... was "z".
As an Italian native speaker and someone who studied Latin, this is damn fun. a lot of the words were easily recognizable to me, and seeing Garnt CRUMBLE before "Antenna" was fun, lmao. Anyway, the reason because some words end with "weird letters" in their plural form is because they were latin words. Antenna comes from Antemna and the plural is Antemnae (which is pronounced uh-teh-m-nah-eh for you english speakers). Same goes for formula/formulae or workds like cactus/cacti (the latter of which is pronounced cuh-ck-tee)
Honestly fuck both latin and ancient Greek as someone who did classical studies BUT I do agree that seeing them being so indecisive and scared was hilarious.
Connor's query regarding the reason for Durian being smelly is rather intriguing. As a Biology student, I know that peppers have developed capsaicin as a defense against animals for evolutionary purposes ( excluding birds for they do not have any grinding teeth that would damage the seeds). Is there a similar reason for exotic fruits with a repulsive odor?
wouldn't it be due to all the other plants being eaten and dying? durian is spikey and smells bad so i imagine it gets eaten a lot less in the wild than other plants. It's not that it evolved to smell bad. It's that because it smelled bad it survived better.
@@rextitan I would have already mentioned that if I didn't remember Durian depends on Elephants and Rhinoceros in southeast Asia to disperse its seeds. These animals find the smell attractive. Why is it humans who are repulsed by it?
I always thought the smell of durians attracted pollenating bugs Edit: also weirdly enough, I don't mind the smell of durians. It's kinda like a mix of mango and pineapple to me. Also tastes like mango and pineapple, definitely would recommend. It's a very hit or miss fruit
@@sayantanmazumdar3 Durian smells rotten because it releases sulfur-containing compounds as it ripens. We usually encounter sulfurous compounds from rotting flesh (ew) or animal chemical defenses like skunk spray (less ew but still a useful to avoid) so we steer clear of compounds of that kind but they’re quite effective at attracting decomposes for that exact reason. There are a lot of plants that smell like rot as a way of attracting flies (famously, the Rafflesia and the aptly named Corpse Flower use stench to attract flies as pollinators) though I can’t imagine rhinos or elephants eat a lot of decomposing flesh. The smell is probably just a signal of ripeness to the only animals strong enough to eat it and it just so happens to smell terrible to us; it all seems a bit odd but then again we love chocolate and caffeine and peppers and those are all plants that actively do not want to be eaten so idk nature is weird. -also a biology student btw
Connor had some tough ones, but he also did horrible with gnaw and tumultuous. I feel like Joey’s probably the best speller b/c Garnt definitely had the easiest overall.
It's probably welsh fucking up his spelling. They have double consonants that sounds like a vowel like what the spanish does. LL(y) (ly) (sh for Argentinians).
@@jqa16 Maybe. In Welsh 'Ngh' is the nasal mutation for the letter C, so words like Cymru (Wales), Clwyf (Wound), Cleddyf (Sword), Colliad (Loss), will change to start with 'Ngh' after a word like Fy (My) which causes nasal mutation; Fy Nghymru (My Wales), Fy nghlwyf (My wound), Fy nghleddyf (My sword) & Fy ngholliad (My loss)
Plumbing is spelled stupidly because it's named after the Latin word for lead, which is Plumbum, because at the time(Ancient Rome if I'm not mistaken) pipes were made of lead.
49:20 to answer the question why there are two spellings for each antennae/antennas and formulae/formulas, it's because both words came from the Latin language, where one of the plural forms is by adding -e at the end of the word, depending on the word's declension and case. So when they came into the English language, one could create the plural form in the English way by adding -s at the end, or in the Latin way by adding the suitable letter(s) or form based on the declension and case. The other info that I wanna share is that you can probably guess on how a word is spelt even if you've never seen it based on the language origin. For instance, words that have "ough" in them are most likely come from the older form of English. Words that have -graph are from the Greek language. So, having the "ough" in a Greek-origin word would be strange, just like the Garnt's case where he spelt it as baroughgraph instead of barograph. English absorbed many words from many languages such as French, Latin, Greek, Arabic, Spanish, etc and this is one of the reasons why English is so fucked up when it comes to spelling.
@@jordinagel1184 have you every watched a spelling bee contest? The most mainstream thing about it is that Indian kids are kings of it overall You can literally youtube spelling bee winner and most of the thumbnails have indian kids on them
@@patricija4179 but being Indian gives you no advantage. I’m talking about the language here, not the way the kids were raised to be spelling machines. Grab some guy off the streets of Calais, and grab some guy off the streets of Bombay, and assuming a similar knowledge of the English language, I guarantee that the Frenchman will do better. That’s how much of an influence the language had on English.
Something I learned about my school upbringing with this episode: having taken classes in German, English, French and Latins REALLY fucking helps with the ability to intuitively spell English words. I'd wager "constellation" has 2 L's because of the word "stellar" (or something derived from that) meaning star in latins. Also apparently we read a shitton of words no normal person would ever come across? I think the only ones that I genuinely never saw written were wren and surmised. Also also, the British accents absolutely do not help with spelling, considering Brits love to drop letters while speaking.
A better way to ascertain whether constellation has a double L or not is through the vowel sound before the consonant. The E is short, something that happens when there are 2 or more consonants following it. An opposite example would be the name Steve. the e before V is a prolonged sound. Obviously there are exceptions to this (like with any language and its literacy rules) such as the word manger that Connor had misfortune of having to guess. If I had to guess, it comes from French the same way danger does and for that reason they ignore this grammar rule.
I just noticed how all the boys upgraded their phones but stayed on the same brand, Garnt with the samsung, Connor the pixel and Joey the iPhone… these guys have some brand loyalty
As a non-native English writer, I often have to let the auto-correct complete words like "available", "odyssey", "miscellaneous" and "righteous" for me when I chat or write on social media because I got at least one spell wrong. I somehow expected to see more of that kind of words in this competition and less terms taken over completely 1:1 from other languages.
Ok, there was a lot of funny moments worth commenting about, but how is everyone ignoring the fact that they confirmed weekly Trash Taste streams near the end! I'm so happy!!!
Garnt and Conner: "No British dishes are disgusting." Jellied Eel: *EXISTS* It sucks when Connor and Joey give intentionally bad sentences. 1:33:05 No, they don't. LOL.
It’s so funny still being in high school and being able to spell all the words they’re nervous about in the beginning. They’re really worried about peppermint and disembark lol. I love them
Weirdly enough, even my friend hates durian because of the smell, yet me and my other friends don't feel the same way. For me cause my sense of smelling is bad but for others I can't say although we are on the same page with the taste cause it tastes way too damn good.
@@ar-yj8lb once u ate it you can't sense the smell anymore atleast not as good as someone who is have not eaten it. it's the same principles when u r smelly and only people who are not smelly can smell u
I am SOO confused. Durian never smells bad. It cound smell pungent but absolutely not smelly to me. Its only when it is extremely faint, then it smells mildly weird. I sometimes actually prefer the smell over the taste.
@@FaerieHijacker so u saw those two and just forgot the others he got? Connor's was harder on average while grant's was the easiest. Grant got basement while Conner got loppers in the same round.
"That was a trombone." The song Joey was doing is done on trumpet by a guy literally name Timmy Trumpet. The "When Mom's Not Home" meme (which uses that same song) does use a trombone, though.
Watching this as a non-native English speaker who pretty much learned English through the Internet is so funny because I have no trouble spelling any of these words, but if I had to read something new out loud I know I would embarrass myself because English makes no sense lol
Edit 1: When the were in agreement with turbulence spelled as turbulance, I was like 😑 The boys have been tested on English. Joey's a great mediator for these contest content. His quiz shows often come up on my recommended and it's always a delight. I wonder if a Hiragana + Katakana spelling bee is in the works? A grammar/sentence structure bee to see Connor and Garnt's progress after 2 full years of living in Japan. Maybe on Joey's Twitch or here on After Dark.
Japanese is definitely super consistent in terms of phonetics. I'm currently n2 and when I try to play shiritori with friends, it's harder to shape the word in kanji than thinking the pronunciation in hiragana/katakana. A harder quiz would be recognizing kanji, since even native speakers fuck up radicals sometimes. Unlike the certain english word nghaw.
It has been ages since I have laughed so damn hard that tears rolled down my face and I lost my breath. Connor and his "Hngaw" fucking did it though 🤣. And worst yet, he was so fucking confident with it! Thank you, Connor. I needed that laugh. Edit: Joey also brought up how confident he was, lol!
I just realized that Garnt does something that I also do, which is to start sentences with “no, but yeah” and “yeah, but no.” It’s completely meaningless, but I do it constantly.
I know it's an in joke that Connor loses every single competition they have on the show but maaann this game was stacked the fuck against him from the start. Sure he's not that great at spelling but some of the words he got I feel like aren't just hardly known but hardly _English,_ like goddamn
Honestly, I too agree man, I wouldn't have gotten "Denoument" or "Synaesthesia" if my life depended on it lol. You also tend to forget a lot of easier spellings that you normally wouldn't frick up when put under the spot. I really hope Connor gets the W someday..
I hope that really wasn't a setup to turn it that way, because otherwise it would become a joke that wouldn't be funny in the long run to someone anymore who really rooted for him. I found it quite conspicuous in this round (since the last word for Garnt was also more like a granted win). I know it's all about the fun, but I really wish there were some fair odds involved in the future to make the competition more thrilling to watch overall.
Competition was def stacked against him. Dunno who picked the words but this couldve been run fairer in many other ways. Maybe its just Connors backstory, keeps on getting fucked over and eventually loses it to become an evil villian.
Boiled egg story time! I used to work with someone who... scares me. I don't know how she functioned... Anyway, she came into work one day and declared she was never going to make a boiled egg again, naïve and curious we asked why. So she'd boiled the kettle, put the boiling water into a pan, lit her gas hob, put the pan on the hob, and then put the egg into the water. Then she went and had a bath. Water boiled dry and the egg exploded.
I guess it's fair to say that Joey took an "L" from "CONSTELLATION". Edit: There is a song titled "Synesthesia" by a Filipino band called "Mayonnaise".
I agree with Connor on mash. Sometimes you can get some crap mash when you go for a pub meal. I don't know if some use frozen mash or what but somehow it tastes shite. I like my mash buttery though 😋
Same. I prefer mine with garlic, green onions and some herbs like mint. Also some people use powder mash, like they stir the powder into boiling water and it turns into mash. It's so fucking nasty lmao
Connor’s spot on. A bad sausage is possibly one of the worst foodstuffs ever. If it’s just… Sausage skin with shitty pork and half the sausage is just water and breadcrumbs… Bleh. Also, how do you screw up mash? Instant, powered mash is how you screw up mash.
The words were easy at the beggining, but after "constellations" - with the exception of some easy words like "turbulent" - they started getting pretty challenging.

The way Joey pronounced it the first time like a snot-nosed nerd was what killed me, I could not stop laughing
Hi prowerr

BRO HI HAHAHA
this is several times harder because of the boys' posh accents.

I literally cried at "Gnaw" 🤣 it's been a while since i did that. Thanks Connor

Connor's query regarding the reason for Durian being smelly is rather intriguing. As a Biology student, I know that peppers have developed capsaicin as a defense against animals for evolutionary purposes ( excluding birds for they do not have any grinding teeth that would damage the seeds). Is there a similar reason for exotic fruits with a repulsive odor?
wouldn't it be due to all the other plants being eaten and dying? durian is spikey and smells bad so i imagine it gets eaten a lot less in the wild than other plants. It's not that it evolved to smell bad. It's that because it smelled bad it survived better.
@@rextitan I would have already mentioned that if I didn't remember Durian depends on Elephants and Rhinoceros in southeast Asia to disperse its seeds. These animals find the smell attractive. Why is it humans who are repulsed by it?
@@sayantanmazumdar3 probably for the same reason anyone outside the US thinks root beer tastes like cough medicine
I always thought the smell of durians attracted pollenating bugs
Edit: also weirdly enough, I don't mind the smell of durians. It's kinda like a mix of mango and pineapple to me. Also tastes like mango and pineapple, definitely would recommend. It's a very hit or miss fruit
@@sayantanmazumdar3 Durian smells rotten because it releases sulfur-containing compounds as it ripens. We usually encounter sulfurous compounds from rotting flesh (ew) or animal chemical defenses like skunk spray (less ew but still a useful to avoid) so we steer clear of compounds of that kind but they’re quite effective at attracting decomposes for that exact reason. There are a lot of plants that smell like rot as a way of attracting flies (famously, the Rafflesia and the aptly named Corpse Flower use stench to attract flies as pollinators) though I can’t imagine rhinos or elephants eat a lot of decomposing flesh. The smell is probably just a signal of ripeness to the only animals strong enough to eat it and it just so happens to smell terrible to us; it all seems a bit odd but then again we love chocolate and caffeine and peppers and those are all plants that actively do not want to be eaten so idk nature is weird. -also a biology student btw
Gotta love how Garnt got basement and immediately after Connor got hit with freakin loppers. Legit never heard that word in my life.
I swear this was definitely rigged in favor of Garnt and against Connor for the sake of the lolzy story since Chess tournament :P
lol loppers is just basic phonetics
@@Deadbeatcow it is, but it's not used in daily speech so most people aren't used to the word.
Connor had some tough ones, but he also did horrible with gnaw and tumultuous. I feel like Joey’s probably the best speller b/c Garnt definitely had the easiest overall.
Connor has some really hard words, but also he got Quarantine and Disinfectant.
The SILENCE after gnaw made me stop too and rewind, then tears falling
Ok, "that sounds cursive" had me laughing way more than it should have.
That's how Arnold says it. "Get to tha choppa NGHAW!"
God damn it xD
😭😭😭
I'm now no longer using the word Gnaw and just replacing it with NGHAW entirely... a tribute to monke
It's probably welsh fucking up his spelling. They have double consonants that sounds like a vowel like what the spanish does. LL(y) (ly) (sh for Argentinians).
@@jqa16 Definitely, as soon as he did it I was extremely confused then was like oh, he's Welshin' it 😂
@@jqa16 Maybe. In Welsh 'Ngh' is the nasal mutation for the letter C, so words like Cymru (Wales), Clwyf (Wound), Cleddyf (Sword), Colliad (Loss), will change to start with 'Ngh' after a word like Fy (My) which causes nasal mutation; Fy Nghymru (My Wales), Fy nghlwyf (My wound), Fy nghleddyf (My sword) & Fy ngholliad (My loss)
Plumbing is spelled stupidly because it's named after the Latin word for lead, which is Plumbum, because at the time(Ancient Rome if I'm not mistaken) pipes were made of lead.
49:20 to answer the question why there are two spellings for each antennae/antennas and formulae/formulas, it's because both words came from the Latin language, where one of the plural forms is by adding -e at the end of the word, depending on the word's declension and case. So when they came into the English language, one could create the plural form in the English way by adding -s at the end, or in the Latin way by adding the suitable letter(s) or form based on the declension and case.
The other info that I wanna share is that you can probably guess on how a word is spelt even if you've never seen it based on the language origin. For instance, words that have "ough" in them are most likely come from the older form of English. Words that have -graph are from the Greek language. So, having the "ough" in a Greek-origin word would be strange, just like the Garnt's case where he spelt it as baroughgraph instead of barograph. English absorbed many words from many languages such as French, Latin, Greek, Arabic, Spanish, etc and this is one of the reasons why English is so fucked up when it comes to spelling.
Garnt : The only way to win a spelling bee is to be French
*Every Indian child and their whole family tree turns around*
It's different when you're groomed to do exactly one thing well
@@kaldo_kaldo i guess you never RUclipsd math and programming problems
I fail to see how being Indian (or speaking an Indian language) would help you in an English spelling bee…
@@jordinagel1184 have you every watched a spelling bee contest? The most mainstream thing about it is that Indian kids are kings of it overall
You can literally youtube spelling bee winner and most of the thumbnails have indian kids on them
@@patricija4179 but being Indian gives you no advantage. I’m talking about the language here, not the way the kids were raised to be spelling machines.
Grab some guy off the streets of Calais, and grab some guy off the streets of Bombay, and assuming a similar knowledge of the English language, I guarantee that the Frenchman will do better. That’s how much of an influence the language had on English.
Something I learned about my school upbringing with this episode: having taken classes in German, English, French and Latins REALLY fucking helps with the ability to intuitively spell English words.
I'd wager "constellation" has 2 L's because of the word "stellar" (or something derived from that) meaning star in latins.
Also apparently we read a shitton of words no normal person would ever come across? I think the only ones that I genuinely never saw written were wren and surmised.
Also also, the British accents absolutely do not help with spelling, considering Brits love to drop letters while speaking.
I know of the letter Wren from the book "Wren and Martin" 😂😂😂
A better way to ascertain whether constellation has a double L or not is through the vowel sound before the consonant. The E is short, something that happens when there are 2 or more consonants following it. An opposite example would be the name Steve. the e before V is a prolonged sound. Obviously there are exceptions to this (like with any language and its literacy rules) such as the word manger that Connor had misfortune of having to guess. If I had to guess, it comes from French the same way danger does and for that reason they ignore this grammar rule.
" I will eat a bug testacle with a smile..."- Joey. Well, you guys know what to make him eat next time lol
For those who don't know, Joey has a video with Tokidoki Traveller where they eat different kinds of insects that you guys might want to check out 😄
@@LeericOHM link?

I just noticed how all the boys upgraded their phones but stayed on the same brand, Garnt with the samsung, Connor the pixel and Joey the iPhone… these guys have some brand loyalty
They probably have a phone plan to a service provider that upgrades their phone every year or 2
There is also getting used to the controls and UI
It's almost as if people inherently crave familiarity 🤔
@@loganbritton6737 🤣👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is the most amount of times I've heard everyone on set laughing their asses off.
As a non-native English writer, I often have to let the auto-correct complete words like "available", "odyssey", "miscellaneous" and "righteous" for me when I chat or write on social media because I got at least one spell wrong.
I somehow expected to see more of that kind of words in this competition and less terms taken over completely 1:1 from other languages.
Ok, there was a lot of funny moments worth commenting about, but how is everyone ignoring the fact that they confirmed weekly Trash Taste streams near the end! I'm so happy!!!
Till the 21st December pog! I love these streams I hope it's not just till end of December though
because they already say it last week?
Yeah they already announced this before this pod......
I thought they said it last stream they would do it weekly from now on. I think the news is that they'll be doing weekly streams till 21 of December.
@@OrbitalForce I'm sure it's gonna stop at the 21st because of holidays, they'll probably continue afterwards
connor was suffering oh my god his words were hard from the jump
Is “pardon” that difficult to spell?
I wouldn't also have been able to spell Manger to be honest
I heard "mainger" LoL
Still hoping connor gets a big W one of these challenges 😂💀
Feels like waiting for Ash to become Champion
Feels like watching Lando Norris
Not with Garnt's Plot Armor
@@teriskyou5866 I felt like garnt got the easiest ones
Garnt and Conner: "No British dishes are disgusting."
Jellied Eel: *EXISTS*
It sucks when Connor and Joey give intentionally bad sentences.
1:33:05 No, they don't. LOL.
It’s so funny still being in high school and being able to spell all the words they’re nervous about in the beginning. They’re really worried about peppermint and disembark lol. I love them
Garnt: "I don't like Durian"
Southeast Asian Councils: "we here by revoke your Southeast Asianest"
Weirdly enough, even my friend hates durian because of the smell, yet me and my other friends don't feel the same way. For me cause my sense of smelling is bad but for others I can't say although we are on the same page with the taste cause it tastes way too damn good.
the quality of the durian is also important when comes to taste and smells of durian, if you have a good durian probably u gonna like it
I've only eaten cheap durian candies so I don't find the smell bad.
@@ar-yj8lb once u ate it you can't sense the smell anymore atleast not as good as someone who is have not eaten it. it's the same principles when u r smelly and only people who are not smelly can smell u
I am SOO confused. Durian never smells bad. It cound smell pungent but absolutely not smelly to me. Its only when it is extremely faint, then it smells mildly weird.
I sometimes actually prefer the smell over the taste.

Wouldn’t have thought spelling bees could be this fun to watch
The boys: "Constellation."
Me: "Aha! Reading Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is finally paying off!"
Yeah!!
Watching them struggle with 3rd grade level vocab is both painful and hilarious
I want to thank you guys for uploading more frequently. Every normal episode or After Dark episode makes my day. Appreciate it boys
Joey: "I like Natto"
Shion: "MASTER LIKES RANCID THINGS!"
It’s funny every time they emphasize ER they get an American accent
Yah cuz in the rest of the English speaking world we do like an “ah” sound for “er”
I’m 99% sure that Joey had so much fun playing these After Dark quizzes that he decided to make Man Vs. Weeb.
I have never screamed/cried with laughter harder when Connor got ‘quarantine’ wrong
I agree Connor had the hardest words. Garnt had some ones that came off as hard with the pronunciation though.
Quarantine?
Disinfectant???
@@FaerieHijacker so u saw those two and just forgot the others he got? Connor's was harder on average while grant's was the easiest. Grant got basement while Conner got loppers in the same round.

For the next Livestream, they should all have their own quizzes they give to the other two about their respective languages. Welsh, Japanese, and Thai
Love that both of them thought of the evil french laugh 2:00:55
Highkey one of the funniest and most fun episodes ever. The back and forth between the boys was so fun to watch as well. Keep up the good work!
"That was a trombone." The song Joey was doing is done on trumpet by a guy literally name Timmy Trumpet. The "When Mom's Not Home" meme (which uses that same song) does use a trombone, though.
These random updates are a surprise, a pleasant one at that.
Really made my day good sirs
won't be random for awhile, 7pm JST every Tuesday they are streaming. And Mudan (cause he's a mad man) is getting them up the day after.
@@Vicioussama i would watch it live if it werent 6am my time
Connor messing up 'Quarantine' and 'Disinfectant' made me do a double take
Watching this as a non-native English speaker who pretty much learned English through the Internet is so funny because I have no trouble spelling any of these words, but if I had to read something new out loud I know I would embarrass myself because English makes no sense lol
Connor laughing his ass off at the other monkes meanwhile the words get to Connor and monke falls apart
Everytime garnt describes a new savory British pastry I'm just like "oh so a hot pocket but with ______"
Edit 1: When the were in agreement with turbulence spelled as turbulance, I was like 😑
The boys have been tested on English. Joey's a great mediator for these contest content. His quiz shows often come up on my recommended and it's always a delight. I wonder if a Hiragana + Katakana spelling bee is in the works? A grammar/sentence structure bee to see Connor and Garnt's progress after 2 full years of living in Japan. Maybe on Joey's Twitch or here on After Dark.
Japanese is definitely super consistent in terms of phonetics. I'm currently n2 and when I try to play shiritori with friends, it's harder to shape the word in kanji than thinking the pronunciation in hiragana/katakana. A harder quiz would be recognizing kanji, since even native speakers fuck up radicals sometimes.
Unlike the certain english word nghaw.
Connor: "how much kanji do you know?"
Garnt: "no"
否
The timestamps shows the progression of how hard each word becomes so cool
After seeing the title I surmised that Connor would lose.
Garnt continues with protagonist power, and Connor was robbed again, as go circle
I've been realizing that the boys could do anything and I would watch It
Doing typing speed challenges helps so much with spelling and I've realized it purely thanks to this.
It has been ages since I have laughed so damn hard that tears rolled down my face and I lost my breath. Connor and his "Hngaw" fucking did it though 🤣. And worst yet, he was so fucking confident with it! Thank you, Connor. I needed that laugh.
Edit: Joey also brought up how confident he was, lol!
"The bad people who could not spell good" - solid light novel title right there
bro, we can never appreciate how much of a good showman Connah "Monke brain " VA is.
so underrated.
re: the food talk at the start - holy shit Garnt and Joey have faith in humanity, never assume people can't fuck something up.
My uni friend burned the dorm kitchen while boiling water
Garnt getting Quintessential again and getting it right the second time, is the most Protagonist thing ever.
I love how the moment the word "pardon" came out, all the nousagis came out at the same time
I just realized that Garnt does something that I also do, which is to start sentences with “no, but yeah” and “yeah, but no.” It’s completely meaningless, but I do it constantly.
I know it's an in joke that Connor loses every single competition they have on the show but maaann this game was stacked the fuck against him from the start. Sure he's not that great at spelling but some of the words he got I feel like aren't just hardly known but hardly _English,_ like goddamn
Connor's getting "antidisestablishmentarianism," everybody else is getting "fudge."
monke
Honestly, I too agree man, I wouldn't have gotten "Denoument" or "Synaesthesia" if my life depended on it lol. You also tend to forget a lot of easier spellings that you normally wouldn't frick up when put under the spot. I really hope Connor gets the W someday..
I hope that really wasn't a setup to turn it that way, because otherwise it would become a joke that wouldn't be funny in the long run to someone anymore who really rooted for him. I found it quite conspicuous in this round (since the last word for Garnt was also more like a granted win). I know it's all about the fun, but I really wish there were some fair odds involved in the future to make the competition more thrilling to watch overall.
Competition was def stacked against him.
Dunno who picked the words but this couldve been run fairer in many other ways.
Maybe its just Connors backstory, keeps on getting fucked over and eventually loses it to become an evil villian.
Mudan is such a boss. Holy crap. I hope that y'all give him extra Pocky this week!
Great job!
why does cannonade sound like such a chris word? i can perfectly hear him say it in my head with his accent
Boiled egg story time! I used to work with someone who... scares me. I don't know how she functioned... Anyway, she came into work one day and declared she was never going to make a boiled egg again, naïve and curious we asked why. So she'd boiled the kettle, put the boiling water into a pan, lit her gas hob, put the pan on the hob, and then put the egg into the water. Then she went and had a bath. Water boiled dry and the egg exploded.

I agree with Connor on mash. Sometimes you can get some crap mash when you go for a pub meal. I don't know if some use frozen mash or what but somehow it tastes shite. I like my mash buttery though 😋
Same. I prefer mine with garlic, green onions and some herbs like mint. Also some people use powder mash, like they stir the powder into boiling water and it turns into mash. It's so fucking nasty lmao
@@StoneHavel Sounds nice 🤤. I've only recently started trying different flavours in mash.
Wtf is frozen mash? Do you guys in England really do that? We don't do it in the US.
Yeah garnt and joe were wrong on this
although you can not expect much from the bois that don't difference of scrambled eggs and omelet
I fucking love these challenges. Could even bring on guests for this like Chris
I think i understand Connor's 'Nghaw'
'Ngh' + 'Aw'.
(phonetically)
Connor’s spot on. A bad sausage is possibly one of the worst foodstuffs ever. If it’s just… Sausage skin with shitty pork and half the sausage is just water and breadcrumbs… Bleh.
Also, how do you screw up mash? Instant, powered mash is how you screw up mash.
I was gonna say, that ain't potato, that's dry preserved powder starch. Something that would give Gordon Ramsay a heart attack
one of my pet peeves, not getting a good char on the sausage casing, its genuinely upsetting
The words were easy at the beggining, but after "constellations" - with the exception of some easy words like "turbulent" - they started getting pretty challenging.
