There was another really great moment during prox-chat Among Us where Jane was CONVINCED that Luke was the imposter, but Luke kept wanting to buddy up with her and was getting really frustrated. So he walks in on her again and says "Hello Jane, still not the imposter" and while Jane freaks out Ellen, who is eavesdropping as a ghost, bursts into laughter.
I’ve watched it several times but it never occurred to me how Mike barely participates in the ninji story but his comment “your father was very persuasive” was what made the story truly and fully go off the rails lmao
@@scottlil01 Honestly, Mike makes fewer quips per minute than Andy or Luke but man, when he does, it's always gold. Most of my favorite jackbox moments are Mike answers. The man is an overlooked genius.
@@sandrols7 Check out a video on outsidexbox where Jane and Andy play a game called Adam's Venture: Origins It's only about 10 minutes but they get so frustrated and Andy does swear at the end unbleeped, it's hilarious
@@ethanlappin I just went and found it. It's hilarious. His swearing and then the "I'm gonna kill myself" and then leaping off the top of the building. It gave me a much needed laugh and it's a vid I somehow missed before.
@@sandrols7 it’s really funny- they swear a lot in the old videos and obviously try not to anymore but sometimes they still slip and forget to censor sometimes :D
So, for Halloween Luke gets "mid-crow-mid-crow-mid-crow-crow", while Ellen gets scary doll and fetus monster. Well, I guess the Carolina Reaper makes up for it.
The Among Us stack kill, Andy trolling Ellen and telling her the Monster Fetus in RE8 could hear her through the PS5 controller, and Luke & Ellen doing the weekly Pokemon quizzes ("I'm a normal adult man doing normal adult things!") were the highlights for 2021. I also loved the Xbox/Bethesda E3 live stream and hearing everybody's reaction to all the different games that were announced. Here's to many more presh mems in 2022, and beyond!
I love the “big brother convincing his siblings it’s fine” energy from the RE:V clip. Ellen absolutely losing it and Andy just subtly stoking the fire.
A sign the year is truly ending. This makes me so happy to remember this horrible year. Thanks for helping me get through it. I forgot how many times I could rely on this channel to make me laugh when it was getting hard to find reasons to do so
That fmv point and click game is honestly the funniest thing oxboxtra has ever done, hands down. If anyone missed it you should really go watch it. The pumpkins bit just scratches the surface of what that video has to offer.
Ellen's laugh should be used as a cure for depression. You can't help but smile when you hear it. Thanks for helping us laugh a little during a tough year you guys
I'm so proud of you guys. Not only did you find a way to do what you love for a living, you've managed to cultivate a community that shares in your successes. When you win, we win. I can't thank you enough. Happy new year, you guys :)
Luke: "Ash barely comes up to Charizard's neck and flies on his back. How can he be 90kg?" Me: "Ash is canonically 10 yrs old. I've probably packed suitcases that weigh more than him."
These Presh Mems always prove to me that y'all are genuinely wonderful friends, and that anyone would be lucky to be a part of your group. Love you wonderful people so much. I remember being surprised but excited at the channel announcement for Oxtra. Amazing how far you've come!!
Haa! 😂 8:44 This bit with the pumpkins literally got tears rolling down my cheeks. It just kept getting funnier as Luke was figuring out what the heck was going on, it's my first time seeing it and i might just have to go figure out what video that was so i can watch the whole thing. 😆👍
@@DeathsNitemareShepardOfHope The whole game is an absolute riot. I particularly enjoyed when Luke had to fullscreen himself when he was having to halfway kill his CPU so it could play the game.
@@SolaScientia totally watching it now, Luke is in the process of "entering disc 2". This\that is a fun video, i would really enjoy a whole series of videos doing this sort of setup. i am genuinely curious how much it cost to make the game they are playing, it looks like it might have been more expensive than Night Trap😆
Andy's 'The baby can hear you through the PS5 controller' is simultaneously the cruelest and most hilarious moment in my book. That whole stream and the entire Ninji segment would easily have gotten my nominations. Great year guys, looking forward to the inevitable mayhem of 2022!
51:40 - Ninji made the Christmas present. The Christmas present is Evangelion. According to the Oxboxtra Deep Lore, Ninji is Hideaki Anno. Every mem is super presh. Love it. Thanks for all the good times this year, can't wait for more.
Some other presh mems for me were: - Bombadgy tennis in Monster Hunter Rise - (selfishly) The Rektem callback in Ellen's Souls Academy after defeating the Capra Demon - Luke's master play of letting Aoife and Lolies destroy each other in Among Us - Basically the entirety of Gravity RIP. - Charlotte's invasions in Ellen's Souls Academy - The Egg Room polaroid in New Pokemon Snap - Petting the animals in Ghost of Tsushima - (selfishly) Ellen's reaction to my Deja glue pun in her Aleksis Wolf Mask stream - Everything about Jane and Ellen's ACNH Opening the Roost stream
Luke masterfully letting Aoife and Lolies destroy each other was great to watch. He didn't have to say much at all; just sat back and let them accuse each other.
I'm watching a friend play Ghost of Tsushima on Twitch and I really, really want to tell her about the animals (she loves the foxes) but I'm trying really hard to leave it as a delightful surprise
Mike during the entire Ninji debacle was absolutely stellar. Only jumps in with a line every once in a while and sends the whole timeline off on a different hysterical tangent. Some boi lol
Sending hugs to Ellen. I had a cold a few weeks ago and it was also the first cold in about 2 years for me. I also forgot just how unpleasant a cold is. I'm glad it was my usual one in that I was miserable for a week, but it was gone in a week rather than lingering on. Before I go into what I like with each one, I have to say I have a personal presh mem from this year. I love Ellen taking on the giant crystal lizard and not cheesing it off the cliff like I did, and I love Ellen taking out Iudex Gundyr on her second attempt. Luke reading out my comment absolutely made my day and it cheers me up when I think about it. The talking pumpkins had me laughing so hard, and I'd somehow forgotten just how hard Andy is laughing during the whole bit. I love how unexpected it is. Luke's descent into madness trying to figure out Pinsir was so good and I love how crazy the hair got. The stack kill is so amazing still. One of my favorite bits though is Ellen's very quiet "the f*ck" when she heard the radio come on when she was crouch-walking back into the room, and her reaction when Andy told her the monster fetus could hear her through the controller. And also that she sprinted for a hiding cupboard before even really seeing the thing; she walked just far enough to trigger the noise before noping away. Perfection. I love how Luke says he already played; the hugging his knees and the "hmm" before he rushed out "I already played it" is so great. I also completely understand wanting to play a game without people backseat gaming and wanting something all to yourself. I am glad Ellen is streaming it, because it's given me the fortitude to actually make progress in the game whereas before I was sort of stuck and not progressing at all. The entire Ninji backstory bit is something I frequently rewatch. The Mario Golf streams are some of my favorite for when I need something chill to cheer me up. Mike hitting the ball and it bouncing off the cliff so many times sends me into paralyzing laughter every time. So many awesome precious memories this year. Y'all and Oxbox have helped keep me going for sure. I look forward to many more presh mems in 2022; hopefully plenty of them from DS3 and Elden Ring.
The Ninji one is the winner for me, just 30 minutes of me dying of laughter interspersed with golf talk and bagging the game. Those Mario Golf streams were such gold on every occasion. Thanks for another great year right the way through.
Ellen inspired me to play dark Souls this year. The Taurus demon yeeted itself on my first playthrough. 😂 I ended up 100% completing it and am now almost done with dark Souls 2. I'm grateful that this channel gave me a new perspective on how to play these games.
I was stuck on DS3 on the High Walls of Lothric for ages, because I was somehow running right past the door to the 2nd bonfire. Watching Ellen stream it has helped me make serious progress and I'm up to the point of fighting the fire demon. Luke was my inspiration for getting a PS5 and starting Bloodborne as well. It helps me to watch them mainly because it's better than looking at a map or reading up on stuff, even though I do both.
I was sick in bed during the FMV stream and had fallen asleep halfway through the scarecrow segment and would hear that in the back of my brain for the next several days.
For me, my favourite Oxtra moment of the year is the Great Ace Attorney SOTWE because Ellen's versions of Phoenix Wright's calls were so good. Honorable mention to Gravity RIP because that was such a clever game idea, especially with Mike and Ellen's characters
Well my fav was propably the Hole-in-One from Ellen, although I had to watch it on delay due to my work schedule. Very close behind is the Carolina Reaper moment, that was just pure and utter gold :D Anyhoo, I loved the video, especially since there were some glorious moments that I'd otherwise missed. Wish you and the team (and OXbox of course) all the best for the final days of this and all the days of next year. Much love from Germany :-)
As much as I enjoyed so many of the other mems more than "crow, mid, crow, crow, NIiigh!" on an intellectual/conceptual level, I literally started cramping as soon as it came up again xD
andy being in literally six out of 12 presh mems this year. he really was a big contributor. luke may have suggested the stack kill, but he was the one who pulled it off lmao.
I was today years hold when I found out I've been taller than Charizard since my teen years. I fully share Luke's frustration. Love you guys, thanks for another awesome year of lovely entertainment!
I think the most glorious single second of content this year was the moment Ellen snuck up on a completely oblivious Luke in Deathloop, as memorably remembered in the Deathloop Christmas challenges this year. 🤣 Also shout out to Andy for being such a champ this year on Oxtra videos! From "Oh no", to "CROW MID CROW", to the Ninji Saga, to popping in to the studio to glare judgingly at Like, it wouldn't have been the same without him!
A lot of what was on my presh mems list was in this video, but they didn’t show the Minecraft Championships. They looked very stressed and Ellen in particular seemed to not enjoy parts when they were being put under more and more pressure, but Mike typing about the Yellow Yaks comeback in the chat, the fact that Ellen’s final placement was somehow *worse* than last place (She got 61st place when there were 60 contestants or smth like that), Andy’s complete bewilderment at the amount of stuff onscreen, it was incredible to watch it. Also, Space Buddies was great. And some of those Jackbox streams were amazing.
I've been truly inspired by Oxtra this year. We've got a game of Blades in the Dark getting started, and I bought the spicy jelly beans for a buddy for Christmas...
I really hope you make one of these at the end of this year. I love looking back on all the great moments I've experienced watching your videos. You guys are the absolute best channel on RUclips.
Was mildly disappointed not to actually hear the word “yeet” in a British accent because it tickles me every time I hear it. But great list of presh mems all the same XD ❤️ I have such a (respectful, not-stalker) crush on Luke; his comedic timing is such gold.
This is why I watch this channel! It always brings a smile to my face and after every video I realize I have been grinning throughout. Thanks to you all at OX!
I'm so glad I was able to catch so many livestreams this year!! Watching this and reliving those moments Knowing the context makes these precious mems that much more fantastic. Love you all so much and love seeing the channel grow!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the joy and laughter you've brought me and my friends this year! I hope you get over your cold soon, and please please I hope you all have a lovely New Year and thank you once again for being a candle in the darkness!!!
Gravity Rip is my fave phresh mem that didn't make the video, i think! Hope for a follow-up of that eventually, just very good. :) Happy new year! Love this channel and community ✨
I had totally forgotten about Ninji! That Mario Golf video was hilarious. I really enjoyed the story of Ninji and his family, his job and his weirdness. 😂 I have to say, that pumpkin puzzle was a key moment because "Crow Crow Crow" became the new "Lads Lads Lads". Now it is part of the lexicon of this community...
There were so many great moments in Dark Souls. Ellen learning about Johnny's best Dark Souls buddy, gravity, when fighting the bell gargoyles, defeating the gargoyles, defeating ornstein and smough, defeating Havel in minutes, defeating the gaping maw, coming up behind the hollow soldier that kicked the barrel at her. So many great moments.
This was basically me laughing nearly non-stop for an hour! Great work this year guys, thank you for your infectious giggles and amazingly quotable lines. And yeah, either the Among Us stack kill/space buddy shenanigans or Ellen's reaction (and finally swearing live on-stream) to that bloody foetus monster in Resi Village's fear academy wins my vote for best presh mem, lol. Lots of love to Ellen, Luke and Producer Jon.
For some reason I started this video thinking it was a lot shorter, it's bedtime and I don't have an hour to stay up watching this so tomorrow... However, I watched long enough to hear Ellen breaking a rib laughing at "wrecked 'em", and that honestly just made my day.
Just watched this with my husband, we loved reliving these! I agree about Andy being on more, he has a great dynamic with you two! Thank you for all you do! Can't wait for the Presh Mems of '22!
Just wanted to thank you guys for all the fun times over the years. Last year was super hard for me, but stuff like this keeps me sane! Also, Ellen is just the best!
That Ninji skit was phenomenal. The way they actually managed to cultivate a narrative of a cold father disappointed in his son whom he just can't understand and the concerned mother tentatively trying to get them to bond
These presh mems remind me how glad I am that these channels exist and that they bring all of us so much joy every day Thanks Oxbox Crew for all your hard work!
I love how many of these are a spiral to chaos. Makes me think of being up at 1 AM with too much sugar at a sleep over, trying not to laugh at the least hilarious things. Mind you, these ARE hilarious. 13 year old me losing it at a bouncy ball hitting a wall is not.
my presh mem of 2021 is during a SotW where you both explain how to play Snap (LOL) and Andy walks in. Luke's face, and the feeling of this sequence is "Big brother Andy just came in to laugh at us again". My heart melted right there.
Thank you for the wonderful preshmems of this year! My favourites were definitely the time you played snap, or when Andy and Luke whipped out the Beeple costumes, or The Haunting of Andy (that he was regrettfully oblivious to). Happy new year and remember: RECTUM!
The best part of the naming Pokemon challenge was watching Luke's hair get more and more out of control as he slowly lost his sanity.
Luke's lockdown hair was one of the true heroes this year (and end of last year).
I'm watching this and I couldn't stop myself from saying "Pinsir" when they were agonizing over it. XD
Loved John's face when they figuring out Pincers name, his eyes get so wide
@@jakedragon8753 he looked so dismayed because they kept saying the name but didn't realize it was called pinsir 😂
"The baby can hear you through the PS5 controller."
>Ellen's expression of horror and disbelief<
A presh mem for all time.
32:15 :)
It was such a dick move from Andy 😂😂
I think had they been in the same room, we would have seen blood. Andy’s, specifically. She was ready to kill. 😂
Just imagine if that was a feature though
@@jembozaba4864 wouldn't shock me, alien isolation did it years ago 🤷♂️
I laughed so much on this one :D
There was another really great moment during prox-chat Among Us where Jane was CONVINCED that Luke was the imposter, but Luke kept wanting to buddy up with her and was getting really frustrated.

I think that's Mike's strength when it comes to comedy. Doesn't say much, but knows the perfect thing to say when the time is right.
@@scottlil01 yeah!! So true lol literally everyone on the team is so funny in their own special way
@@scottlil01 Honestly, Mike makes fewer quips per minute than Andy or Luke but man, when he does, it's always gold. Most of my favorite jackbox moments are Mike answers. The man is an overlooked genius.
Well it was Mike who originally coined the term beeples and we all know how that went.
@@penelopecunningham9640 Mike is indeed well known for his wit and his tendency to cause disasters 😳😳
The ultimate Presh Mem will be when Luke Andy whipping out those Bee Costumes
100% agree
or in the same show the disbelieve of Andy when he saw Eggbert's character-sheet :D
this would have been usefull 5 times !!" , "you can do this ?"
"No wonder why you don't read _(the players' manual on Paladins)_ this, Mike. It's so complicated!"
Favorite moment is still Jon's face as Luke and Ellen keep saying "pincer."
Definitely. xD
Ellen: Innocently enjoying a game of Mario. Luke” “RECTUM.”
"that's what kids say nowadays"
"Wrecked em"
My favorite part of that is the celebration music crescendoed to Ellen's "W h a t."
@@austinberry5696 the audible confusion/horror she felt at that moment was palpable. It was a feeling you could palp
You say that like Ellen is innocent.
I love Andy being all cool as a cucumber in the fear academy like he isn't exactly the same with horror games he hasn't played before xD
ESPECIALLY the Dollhouse and the baby XD It was the first time I heard someone swear on Outsidexbox!
@@sandrols7 Check out a video on outsidexbox where Jane and Andy play a game called Adam's Venture: Origins
It's only about 10 minutes but they get so frustrated and Andy does swear at the end unbleeped, it's hilarious

@@sandrols7 it’s really funny- they swear a lot in the old videos and obviously try not to anymore but sometimes they still slip and forget to censor sometimes :D
@@ethanlappin Definitely watching this later
So, for Halloween Luke gets "mid-crow-mid-crow-mid-crow-crow", while Ellen gets scary doll and fetus monster. Well, I guess the Carolina Reaper makes up for it.
Luke: “The Taurus Demon is trying to teach you something…”
Me” “Yeah, gravity.”
to be fair, in dark souls it is quite common during a fight to back up and accidentally fall to your death so he taught her caution
2:09 Taurus yeet
6:30 Rektum
8:15 Scarecrow
13:40 Pinsir
22:35 Stack kill
27:00 Dolls house
33:08 Where's grandad?
35:25 Jellybeans
40:07 I already played it
43:05 Ninji

I also loved the Xbox/Bethesda E3 live stream and hearing everybody's reaction to all the different games that were announced. Here's to many more presh mems in 2022, and beyond!
I had forgotten how funny the ninji roast was. This was such a funny year on the channel and I can’t wait for more
Andy teasing Ellen during the baby chase is hilarious. Ellen reactions are awesome!
Surprised she didn’t swear at Andy when he lied about having to stay quiet so she won’t be heard by it through her controller 😂🤣😂🤣😂😂
Luke spiking the lens and calmly saying “Jimmy got us milk” at 36:54 as a normal adult man was delightful
then at 38:55 Luke nearly explodes. :p
I love the energy the whole gang has, but the way Luke and Andy can carry a bit is top class.
I love the “big brother convincing his siblings it’s fine” energy from the RE:V clip. Ellen absolutely losing it and Andy just subtly stoking the fire.
I like how "RE:V" can refer to at least three different games. Took me a minute to realize it meant Village.
the ninji conversation is the spiritual successor to luke and andy's romantic trip down dessert memory lane
Which was completely screwed out of the list last year!
What episode was that from? I live for their non-sequitur bits :)
That dessert bit is still my favorite oxbox moment of all time.
I don't think I ever saw that. What video and timestamp?
@@cebbi1313 The video is what animal crossing character are you? And the time stamp is 43:34.
Luke: "There i was. A rod in my hand."
Ellen: Holding back a comment.
where is that one
"There I was at the river source, rod in hand" ....... the filth wasn't just in my mind was it? 😂😂😭
@@MrOvo1231 its right at the start, 1:48
Oh, good.
Someone else had that thought.
@@katfromthekong414 thank god it wasn't just me
A sign the year is truly ending. This makes me so happy to remember this horrible year. Thanks for helping me get through it. I forgot how many times I could rely on this channel to make me laugh when it was getting hard to find reasons to do so
Can't wait for the next horrible year where we're still dealing with covid
That fmv point and click game is honestly the funniest thing oxboxtra has ever done, hands down. If anyone missed it you should really go watch it. The pumpkins bit just scratches the surface of what that video has to offer.
"here in their resting state we see a Luke and an Ellen..." I had to pause that video to stop laughing. it seems like it was yesterday
Jon gets 2 hours in an entire year and gets one of the best lines.
“Pinsir! Pinsir! Pinsir!” - Luke
Ellen's laugh should be used as a cure for depression. You can't help but smile when you hear it. Thanks for helping us laugh a little during a tough year you guys
I would 100% watch a stream where as a difficulty multiplier every 15 minutes Jon has to politely find a way to get the kids out of the room
At least it was Pokemon they were playing and not something perhaps more for adults (a la Wolfenstein or Bloodborne or something).
Poor Jon! It was cute though
“Holding a flask of baby legs” is probably my favorite line of the year.
I'm so proud of you guys. Not only did you find a way to do what you love for a living, you've managed to cultivate a community that shares in your successes. When you win, we win. I can't thank you enough. Happy new year, you guys :)
This community in general is amazing. You wouldn't think it possible on the internet. Especially in the YT comments nowadays.
The Among Us stack kill is one of the funniest moments of the entire year.
Also when in doubt wiggle it about *breaks into laughter* No that’s not going on a T-shirt I meant for your phone when you don’t have signal 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Absolutely!
06:46
Luke: "Rekt 'em!"
Ellen: _"What?"_ 🤔
💀💀💀
Luke: "Ash barely comes up to Charizard's neck and flies on his back. How can he be 90kg?"
Me: "Ash is canonically 10 yrs old. I've probably packed suitcases that weigh more than him."

Haa! 😂 8:44
This bit with the pumpkins literally got tears rolling down my cheeks. It just kept getting funnier as Luke was figuring out what the heck was going on, it's my first time seeing it and i might just have to go figure out what video that was so i can watch the whole thing.

i was hoping to see Mike's ball twisting in the list, the terror he instilled in the other players was so great
Andy's 'The baby can hear you through the PS5 controller' is simultaneously the cruelest and most hilarious moment in my book. That whole stream and the entire Ninji segment would easily have gotten my nominations. Great year guys, looking forward to the inevitable mayhem of 2022!
I'd watch a 10-part drama miniseries of Ninji's life written by Luke and Andy. It would be as good as Succession.
51:40 - Ninji made the Christmas present. The Christmas present is Evangelion. According to the Oxboxtra Deep Lore, Ninji is Hideaki Anno.
Every mem is super presh. Love it. Thanks for all the good times this year, can't wait for more.
Kind of upset Ellen's hole in one in Mario Golf isn't here, that was brilliant
At least them basically playfully bullying ninji made it 😂🤣😂🤣 especially with what they think Ninji’s voice sounds like 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Honestly, I've rewatched the spicy bean episode more than any others---but I think Ninji wins for longest running gag during a stream.
Some other presh mems for me were:
- Bombadgy tennis in Monster Hunter Rise
- (selfishly) The Rektem callback in Ellen's Souls Academy after defeating the Capra Demon
- Luke's master play of letting Aoife and Lolies destroy each other in Among Us
- Basically the entirety of Gravity RIP.
- Charlotte's invasions in Ellen's Souls Academy
- The Egg Room polaroid in New Pokemon Snap
- Petting the animals in Ghost of Tsushima
- (selfishly) Ellen's reaction to my Deja glue pun in her Aleksis Wolf Mask stream
- Everything about Jane and Ellen's ACNH Opening the Roost stream
Luke masterfully letting Aoife and Lolies destroy each other was great to watch. He didn't have to say much at all; just sat back and let them accuse each other.
I'm watching a friend play Ghost of Tsushima on Twitch and I really, really want to tell her about the animals (she loves the foxes) but I'm trying really hard to leave it as a delightful surprise
Mike during the entire Ninji debacle was absolutely stellar. Only jumps in with a line every once in a while and sends the whole timeline off on a different hysterical tangent. Some boi lol
6:48 I love how Ellen’s “what?” matched up with the music
nothing will ever top Luke's Gollum-tier G R E E D regarding his own personal secret DS3 playthrough
I completely forgot about this...but now I want Ninji asmr commentary of Neon Genesis Evangelion. I would pay for that. 51:54
Sending hugs to Ellen. I had a cold a few weeks ago and it was also the first cold in about 2 years for me. I also forgot just how unpleasant a cold is. I'm glad it was my usual one in that I was miserable for a week, but it was gone in a week rather than lingering on.

And also that she sprinted for a hiding cupboard before even really seeing the thing; she walked just far enough to trigger the noise before noping away. Perfection.

Feel yea Ellen, haven't had a serious cold in over 2 years and it's kickn my butt. Hope you feel better soon.
I need to find a way to hook Andy's "well THAT shouldn't be happening" to my veins
Ellen inspired me to play dark Souls this year. The Taurus demon yeeted itself on my first playthrough. 😂 I ended up 100% completing it and am now almost done with dark Souls 2. I'm grateful that this channel gave me a new perspective on how to play these games.
I bumped into Luke and Ellen at a convention and gushed at them for getting me into Dark Souls
I was stuck on DS3 on the High Walls of Lothric for ages, because I was somehow running right past the door to the 2nd bonfire. Watching Ellen stream it has helped me make serious progress and I'm up to the point of fighting the fire demon. Luke was my inspiration for getting a PS5 and starting Bloodborne as well. It helps me to watch them mainly because it's better than looking at a map or reading up on stuff, even though I do both.
The Taurus Demon yeet was basically the Soulsborne genre baptizing Ellen's runs as one of the best in game streaming, like a Chosen One of sorts.
It’s hard to imagine where Ellen started as a helpless knave considering she’s now the undisputed Queen Of Dark Souls™️
Jon battling children and pokemon at the same time is hilarious
I was sick in bed during the FMV stream and had fallen asleep halfway through the scarecrow segment and would hear that in the back of my brain for the next several days.
For me, my favourite Oxtra moment of the year is the Great Ace Attorney SOTWE because Ellen's versions of Phoenix Wright's calls were so good. Honorable mention to Gravity RIP because that was such a clever game idea, especially with Mike and Ellen's characters
I didn't realise just how much of a calm and reassuring presence Andy was during Ellen's Fear Academy
Well my fav was propably the Hole-in-One from Ellen, although I had to watch it on delay due to my work schedule. Very close behind is the Carolina Reaper moment, that was just pure and utter gold :D
Anyhoo, I loved the video, especially since there were some glorious moments that I'd otherwise missed. Wish you and the team (and OXbox of course) all the best for the final days of this and all the days of next year. Much love from Germany :-)
As much as I enjoyed so many of the other mems more than "crow, mid, crow, crow, NIiigh!" on an intellectual/conceptual level, I literally started cramping as soon as it came up again xD
"Could you escort her away, please," is British for "GET THE EFF OUTTA MY ROOM I'M GAMING!!"
I will never tire of Ellen’s joyful squeaks.
Andy's "oh. Oh no"s are the best memory of 2021
andy being in literally six out of 12 presh mems this year. he really was a big contributor.
luke may have suggested the stack kill, but he was the one who pulled it off lmao.
The scarecrow walks at night mid...
Whoever comes up with the titles is brilliant.
I was today years hold when I found out I've been taller than Charizard since my teen years. I fully share Luke's frustration.
Love you guys, thanks for another awesome year of lovely entertainment!
I think the most glorious single second of content this year was the moment Ellen snuck up on a completely oblivious Luke in Deathloop, as memorably remembered in the Deathloop Christmas challenges this year. 🤣
Also shout out to Andy for being such a champ this year on Oxtra videos! From "Oh no", to "CROW MID CROW", to the Ninji Saga, to popping in to the studio to glare judgingly at Like, it wouldn't have been the same without him!
Like
The pause between Luke saying 'Wrecked 'em' and Ellen saying 'What' may be the loudest silence in youtube history.
Love me some presh mems. It's the feel good moment of the time of year! And get well soon, Ellen
Thanks for all of the presh mems you created for our enjoyment in a year that needed as much enjoyment as possible!
Tears in my eyes, gasping for air. Thanks for so many hilarious memories!
A lot of what was on my presh mems list was in this video, but they didn’t show the Minecraft Championships. They looked very stressed and Ellen in particular seemed to not enjoy parts when they were being put under more and more pressure, but Mike typing about the Yellow Yaks comeback in the chat, the fact that Ellen’s final placement was somehow *worse* than last place (She got 61st place when there were 60 contestants or smth like that), Andy’s complete bewilderment at the amount of stuff onscreen, it was incredible to watch it.
Also, Space Buddies was great. And some of those Jackbox streams were amazing.
that minecraft video was beyond amazing
I've been truly inspired by Oxtra this year. We've got a game of Blades in the Dark getting started, and I bought the spicy jelly beans for a buddy for Christmas...
I really hope you make one of these at the end of this year. I love looking back on all the great moments I've experienced watching your videos. You guys are the absolute best channel on RUclips.
Was mildly disappointed not to actually hear the word “yeet” in a British accent because it tickles me every time I hear it. But great list of presh mems all the same XD ❤️ I have such a (respectful, not-stalker) crush on Luke; his comedic timing is such gold.
Andy has such big brother energy when he's spectating Ellen's Fear Academy, lol. It's so wholesome and terrifying.
This is why I watch this channel! It always brings a smile to my face and after every video I realize I have been grinning throughout. Thanks to you all at OX!
I'm so glad I was able to catch so many livestreams this year!! Watching this and reliving those moments Knowing the context makes these precious mems that much more fantastic. Love you all so much and love seeing the channel grow!
I was expecting the BITD body swap blooper to be in here.😂
Same 😂
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the joy and laughter you've brought me and my friends this year! I hope you get over your cold soon, and please please I hope you all have a lovely New Year and thank you once again for being a candle in the darkness!!!
Love the presh mems and remembering things I didn't even realize were this year. Have a happy New Year and the preshest 2022!
Get well soon Ellen, here's hoping you have a speedy recovery.
Oh dear, get well soon, Ellen!
Mid crow will never be topped by anything else they ever do. That is the funniest thing ever. "Crow! Crow! Crow! *comedy fart noise*" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Every year I enjoy Oxboxtra’s content more and more. 2021 has been a shining example of quality entertainment.
Gravity Rip is my fave phresh mem that didn't make the video, i think! Hope for a follow-up of that eventually, just very good. :) Happy new year! Love this channel and community ✨
I had totally forgotten about Ninji! That Mario Golf video was hilarious. I really enjoyed the story of Ninji and his family, his job and his weirdness. 😂
I have to say, that pumpkin puzzle was a key moment because "Crow Crow Crow" became the new "Lads Lads Lads". Now it is part of the lexicon of this community...
There were so many great moments in Dark Souls. Ellen learning about Johnny's best Dark Souls buddy, gravity, when fighting the bell gargoyles, defeating the gargoyles, defeating ornstein and smough, defeating Havel in minutes, defeating the gaping maw, coming up behind the hollow soldier that kicked the barrel at her. So many great moments.
That legendary headphones throw, though! Amazing. Thanks for making my year a bit more rektum, I wish you all a very lovely new year
This was basically me laughing nearly non-stop for an hour! Great work this year guys, thank you for your infectious giggles and amazingly quotable lines. And yeah, either the Among Us stack kill/space buddy shenanigans or Ellen's reaction (and finally swearing live on-stream) to that bloody foetus monster in Resi Village's fear academy wins my vote for best presh mem, lol. Lots of love to Ellen, Luke and Producer Jon.
Yes!! Most awaited video of the year
Presh mems! Thank you all of them, it was another great year!
Ohhh the Pinsar clip - I loved, loved that video I cracked up so hard during it
For some reason I started this video thinking it was a lot shorter, it's bedtime and I don't have an hour to stay up watching this so tomorrow... However, I watched long enough to hear Ellen breaking a rib laughing at "wrecked 'em", and that honestly just made my day.
Just watched this with my husband, we loved reliving these! I agree about Andy being on more, he has a great dynamic with you two! Thank you for all you do! Can't wait for the Presh Mems of '22!
Just wanted to thank you guys for all the fun times over the years. Last year was super hard for me, but stuff like this keeps me sane! Also, Ellen is just the best!
Ninji had me in stitches. Thanks for all the laughs and entertainment this year!
That Ninji skit was phenomenal. The way they actually managed to cultivate a narrative of a cold father disappointed in his son whom he just can't understand and the concerned mother tentatively trying to get them to bond
These presh mems remind me how glad I am that these channels exist and that they bring all of us so much joy every day
Thanks Oxbox Crew for all your hard work!
I love how many of these are a spiral to chaos. Makes me think of being up at 1 AM with too much sugar at a sleep over, trying not to laugh at the least hilarious things. Mind you, these ARE hilarious. 13 year old me losing it at a bouncy ball hitting a wall is not.
So many presh mems this year and an absolute pleasure to have been a teeny part of Oxtra history! Here's to many more next year!
So glad CROW CROW CROW made it! Happy New Year and thanks for giving us all these presh mems!
MID MID MID MID MID CROW MID CROW.
my presh mem of 2021 is during a SotW where you both explain how to play Snap (LOL) and Andy walks in. Luke's face, and the feeling of this sequence is "Big brother Andy just came in to laugh at us again". My heart melted right there.
Thank you for the wonderful preshmems of this year! My favourites were definitely the time you played snap, or when Andy and Luke whipped out the Beeple costumes, or The Haunting of Andy (that he was regrettfully oblivious to). Happy new year and remember: RECTUM!
I cant wait to go to sleep tonight thinking of "THE CROW SCARE MID MID AT NIGHT WALKS"
