I love that what really caused Brennan to lose it wasn't just knowing that he was part of the game that made someone win, but that the actual real winner was playing the person who was playing him. It's a level of ego destruction akin to cosmic horror.
The funny part is that it isn't even the person who was playing him that won. Jess was playing Rekha, who was playing Raph. Brennan was not in the chain of command for the ultimate winner
@@gintarazimu642 Brennan did make the one who was directly responsible for him win thought. The PA people feel like they are playing an entirely separate game from the number people.
@@tyleryoast8299 at first Brennan was sad he lost, but at least he could say he was responsible for someone winning. But when he found out the real winner was someone else and it he wasn’t even part of the victory, that broke him.
The fact that Sam Reich said that Grant was supposed to be here, and Brennan was a last minute addition and they made his bingo card in AN HOUR AND HE STILL WAS THE ONE THAT GOT BINGO, is just, honestly kind of disturbing on how much everyone else knows him (and how possibly predictable he is). That must be existentially horrifying.
@@thatshirleylee It was in the #live-discussion channel on the Dropout Discord server! Grant tested for Covid when he arrived on-set so Brennan had to swoop in and replace him, just like he did when Raph couldn't do it on Like A Cucumber.

@@BPTK162 Apparently she had guessed this? It's hard to parse from the audio, but it sometimes sounds distinctly like she's saying she at least suspected it. Which is awesome.
1:31 I think demonstrates Reason #2 of what Brennan likes about Trapp. He's still put in the situation where he realizes he's also been played, but still manages to straight-man a joke. "I know I've also been duped, but if you say you're sweating a river, then I can mark another thing on my bingo board."
It's also really strongly demonstrated in his "breaking news" appearances. He can bear any ordeal, no matter how ludicrous, with a straight face, so long as that means he can 'inflict' even more chaos on those around him
Shout out to Kaylin Mahoney for absolutely powering through the cringe of interrupting the others and cajoling them into fist bumps and repeated fist bumps lmao absolute A+ episode front to back
Mike interrupting Brennan to ask him to say something specific so he could stamp it on his bingo board? Genius. Brennan revealing that he had in fact already said it and it just wasn't caught on camera? Perfection.
I love how Lily's reaction was overwhelming joy that brought her to the floor, while Brennan's was overwhelming existential dread with the same result 😂

The greatest finale in all of GameChanger, no question. Escape the Green Room was what got me to subscribe to Dropout in the first place, and this one blows that out of the water. I'm telling you non-subscribers: don't watch this video. Buy a subscription and experience this masterpiece in its entirety
@@Luna-zw6te Well yeah, the video pretty clearly shows that it's the end of the game/episode. It's definitely not the last episode of the season (judging by the trailer) just like Escape wasn't.
Even though Brennan was a last minute addition, I'm beginning to feel that Game Changer is just a way for Sam to find more and more convoluted ways to mess with him...
I am starting to think that it is not about messing with Brennan specifically, its just Brennan is more “attuned” to Game Changer style fuckery. Regular person reaction: “Oh, what a clever prank, haha” Brennan’s reaction to the same: “Oh no, we are building a temple to our own madness…”
@@TaRatTinCan well, sometimes it is very targeted against Brennan because Sam knows it makes good content. And because he seems to enjoy messing with Brennan specifically.
I believe they submitted for an Emmy last year! At the prompting of a Hank Green tweet I really hope they resubmit, I think with Dropout maybe having a slightly renewed resurgence (fantasy high junior year, their just announced liveshow in Madison Square Gardens, all the new shows, the 5yr anniversary in general) they might have a better chance
Can we all just appreciate how much Trapp and Brennan sync in both ways? Like Trapp really knew how to get Brennan going and Brennan really sang all praises for Trapp in an earlier prompt. This is why even if Brennan was a last minute addition, Trapp technically still got his bingo first!
Brennans realization that his plotting and theorizing to win was all for naught and just for others to win instead and for Sam's entertainment, is one of the highlights of Dropout I think.
Brennan wasn't even supposed to be in this episode. Grant caught COVID and they needed a last minute replacement. Trapp's stamp was actually still Grant's face, which is why he doesn't turn around his board at the end.
Literally went and watched the episode because of this, and Trapp not even being surprised that there was a double twist is so funny. Just pure "I should have known" energy from this man. Fantastic.
Fun fact! It was revealed in the Dropout discord, that Brennan was a sub for Grant! Grant had tested positive for COVID, so they had an hour to make a whole new bingo board that's all Brennan themed.
To be fair, Brennan is fairly predictable, and even he knows it. Remember when he had to imitate an AI version of himself? 😂 (I say this not as an insult, but with all the love in the world. Consistency isn't bad!)
The best part is, Sam didn't lie during the reveal. He just said, "We do have a winner" and then the curtains opened. He never said that Mike was the winner.
Brennan just realized that being trapped in Sam's world means there are no rules you could possibly try to comprehend. It's infinite levels of pure chaos, all the way down, until you are completely broken, and no player can ever stand a chance to make sense of it, much less survive it with their psyche intact. "I wasn't even a pawn in this game, I was the board."
He did ask him to read his “winning bingo line,” which of course implies that Trapp’s bingo line won, but that is technically different than explicitly stating that (and if anyone should appreciate a good technicality, it’s Mike Trapp)
One Brennan thing I love is that Trapp "winning" off prompts like "monologue for 10+ seconds" and the existence of the second loop-de-loop pulled on other players meant that it was comedically a bad move to deliver a Brennan typical monologue or sign-off. And while I'm not sure if they did the Second Place episode before this one it's fun for us that he gave us a speech about how game changer players are constrained by their comedic instincts. Breaking down like this was pretty much the only thing for Brennan to do.
Finally signed up to watch this full episode before i accidentally spoiled it. An absolutely amazing episode. I would love to see a post-game breakdown.
Apparently Grant was supposed to be there instead, but he tested positive for COVID at the last minute, so Brennan swooped in as a substitute. The fact that Trapp's card for Brennan was still the winning one is still a thing though.
The general rule of Game Changer is that it's not everyone against each other but Sam against everyone. Brennan knows this rule better than anyone else, so Sam has declared psychological warfare on him.
I don't know how Sam and the crew keep coming up with genius ideas, but they get more and more unhinged, clever, and diabolical with each episode, and I love it!
It was brilliant too, they set it up slightly to help the players in the third room win, because they had more of a direct influence on their targets by having the PA tell them what to do, vs the written prompts.
i was worried at the start of this episode that this was just gonna be sam says but with a twist, then that fear was completely alleviated, and then that fear was completely stomped into the ground and set on fire
I've rewatched this moment and one of my favorite details is Sam's excited shout of "Yeah" when he makes his first reveal and his absolutely psychotic shrieks of "YES" whrn he makes the second
Brennan’s ego dying so easily. He looks like he just got out of an episode of Sam says I’m a bit disappointed there wasn’t a 4th bingo group, just to be maximum inception, but I know it would have been too hard to make it (having players, finding new prompts, maybe filming place too…) it would have been extra but maybe too much.
I feel like on some level the viewers are the 4th bingo group, watching and betting on all of them as playthings for our amusement as Rekha said lol that felt like a 4th wall breaking moment
It probably would have been too much but what I would have loved to have seen was a 4th group that Sam didn't know about all just watching stuff Sam was doing.
theres something very renaissance painting-like about brennan on the floor with his head in his hands in a fit of despair while lily is also on the ground but keeling over in joy just behind him
few people have ever been more attractive to me than Rekha when Jess, Tao, and Carolyn come out. She looks cute as hell in this ep anyway and then the exuberance is just unbelievably charming
It would be a good idea to recreate the entire game like this in a future Game Changer show, except there are no hidden layers and its Brennan losing his mind over the whole thing happening again when it’s really not
What I loved about this episode is that all three groups were playing different variations of Bingo. You've got the traditional bingo, then you've got the streamer/youtuber variation where they watch for _player-specific_ occurrences to mark off, and then you've got the third group which was a mixture of the two: specific actions, but everybody has the same card.
I don't know how they do it, but Gamechanger's ingredients are fresh every single time, even when the episode depends on dependability. Dropout is the best! 😂😂😂
The only thing that makes me sad is that Trapp (to my knowledge) didn't say "you just activated my Trapp card" once after getting to punch in something on his card.
This is like watching a chess grandmaster realize he's been a pawn in a game played by puppets this entire time, honestly unprecedented in all of media, as far as I know
Yep, I knew after the first short that this wasn't just the 3 on stage but somehow multiple layers of Bingo happening all at once. I'm only saddened by the fact that Sam's wife wasn't in another part of the stage ALSO playing based on the 3 in the second layer doing things to make it true Bingo-ception.
It gets even better: ALL of them will be future contestants and will always be paranoid of hidden games-within-games. And for a professional DM like Brennan, this is mind-blowing stuff that he WILL re-use.
love how there is that one single person taking masking seriously surrounded by what may be the largest chorus line of belters this side of Broadway undergoing a slow meltdown

It's like the Matrix, but with Bingo.
Not only a pawn, but a pawn of a pawn.
It looks like he's about to vomit and pass out. It's hilarous, but I also feel a little bad for him.

I love how Brennan was surprised but still clearly respected and was impressed by the first twist. Then the second one just absolutely shattered him.
I felt the exact same way at the second twist reveal
He thought it was a game twist, but suddenly they went through the looking glass, and he could not hang, lol.
Is Sam Brennan's Moriarty?
It likely surprised him even more given that he filled in for Grant being sick, and the crew had to make Brennan’s bingo card within an hour.
I think because in a way he felt like he still won in a weird way. Then it turns out Trapp wasn’t the winner.

Absolute 10/10

The fact that he wasn't the specific target of the fucking seems to have hit Brennan even harder.
six people got fucked with, but 3 of them got double fucked, so its more like 12 people got fucked with this episode.
It’s makes me laugh so much harder seeing Trapp react the exact same way to Brennan when the twist hit lmaooo
They both say "Goddamn it." It's so funny.
Literally went and watched the episode because of this, and Trapp not even being surprised that there was a double twist is so funny. Just pure "I should have known" energy from this man. Fantastic.
I was with Lily when the third group came out, all fours screaming

Grant had tested positive for COVID, so they had an hour to make a whole new bingo board that's all Brennan themed.
ooooo
That's funny, Grant is usually a sub, anyways.
The stamp Trapp used was Grant as well, they hid the live version and edited the close ups with a Brennan stamp after the initial shoot.

Sam should have an own bingo card for all players and then reveal that he himself played along
@woodfur00 make bing cards of your friends, show the episode to them. See if you can get bingo before the episode is over
1:18 this is a perfect summary of Game Changer in general.
what lily doing tho
The best part is, Sam didn't lie during the reveal. He just said, "We do have a winner" and then the curtains opened. He never said that Mike was the winner.
Brennan look of horror of how he was Truman showed not once but twice over adds joy to my soul
Brennon's worst fear, his best efforts in life to remain competitive and win is but a way for the system to manipulate his manipulators.
Brennan just realized that being trapped in Sam's world means there are no rules you could possibly try to comprehend. It's infinite levels of pure chaos, all the way down, until you are completely broken, and no player can ever stand a chance to make sense of it, much less survive it with their psyche intact.
"I wasn't even a pawn in this game, I was the board."
You can pinpoint the moment Brennan realises that Sam, once again, has designed a game which he cannot win
Sam has found his personal heaven here and it's tormenting Brennan 😂

The general rule of Game Changer is that it's not everyone against each other but Sam against everyone. Brennan knows this rule better than anyone else, so Sam has declared psychological warfare on him.
To quote a particular episode of Make Some Noise: "Whatever this fugue state over here is..."
I don't know how Sam and the crew keep coming up with genius ideas, but they get more and more unhinged, clever, and diabolical with each episode, and I love it!
Season 6 of Game Changer is just Sam psychologically tormenting his friends
“Don’t flatter yourself. You were never even a player.”
It's a shame they can't replicate this episode. Because all future cast members will be aware. Best game changer episode by far!
Tao yelling "Inception noise" over and over is a gold nugget I just found on my 5th watch of this ending
The fact that someone on the third level won first so they just let Trapp think he won up until the double rug pull was beautiful.
It was brilliant too, they set it up slightly to help the players in the third room win, because they had more of a direct influence on their targets by having the PA tell them what to do, vs the written prompts.

This is like watching a chess grandmaster realize he's been a pawn in a game played by puppets this entire time, honestly unprecedented in all of media, as far as I know
I've seen no more than 2 minutes of this episide yet this is somehow most chaotic thing I've witnessed.
Jigsaw if he sought therapy
He is not even a pawn, he is a pawn of the pawn
The production of this was truly impressive.
I fucking love how all the other bingo players are shocked and confused at the second twist, and Trapp immediately goes "goddamn it."
When someone commented on the short that it was 3 layers deep, I thought they were just joking. This is amazing.
I want to be part of something as creative as this so bad
Brennan upon realizing that he is two miniverses deep is priceless.
I think we all just witnessed the origin story of Wennan Wee Wulligan.
I like how multiple people check in on Brennan
This is some Azula level “You weren’t even a player” type shit 🤣🤣🤣
Brennan's face at 1:08 really does capture how he is feeling
When you realize that you weren’t Truman showing, you were in the Truman show
Ya know this is bad when Brennan is so broken he doesn’t have a monologue of rage but just curls up in a ball
I don't know whose reaction is funnier; Lily realising she was a pawn, or Brennan realising he was the pawn of a pawn
Brennan went from being the player, to the person being played, to the muted TV in the corner during the game.
I could watch this for the rest of my life. What a moment. What a game. What a time to be alive.
The wya they all got Truman showed 😭
Love how Raph is just clapping before he has any idea what's going on
Yep, I knew after the first short that this wasn't just the 3 on stage but somehow multiple layers of Bingo happening all at once.
I'm only saddened by the fact that Sam's wife wasn't in another part of the stage ALSO playing based on the 3 in the second layer doing things to make it true Bingo-ception.
It gets even better: ALL of them will be future contestants and will always be paranoid of hidden games-within-games. And for a professional DM like Brennan, this is mind-blowing stuff that he WILL re-use.
Love how Brennan and Mike had the exact same reaction of "Go damnit" the moment the other group comes out and realize what has happened
now i need a video of lily freakouts; they are delightful
brennan went from "damn that's kinda fucked up but i have to respect it" to having an existential crisis
love how there is that one single person taking masking seriously surrounded by what may be the largest chorus line of belters this side of Broadway undergoing a slow meltdown
That's it. I need to see the full episode, I'm getting dropout
i like how both trapp and brennan reacted the same way when they found out their respective twist
Game Changer is now "How can Sam use Brennan's ultra-competitiveness against him this week?"
Game Changer is a series of saw traps wearing the skin of a game show and I'm so here for it
