It was so fucking funny for this hint to be so utterly horrendous and for everyone to be so confused at NL’s logic just for MALF to somehow find the logic word for word.
This is definitely one of the greats that will be lost on the mainstream. since it's not a short bit. NL silently miming his reactions, losing his mind as MALF initially goes off the rails, then the moment there was a planetary alignment and MALF and NL synced like Pacific rim, and then the moment ended and NL loses his mind again.
NL's clues while they do connect to what he is going for, it requires so many leaps you can reach different answers with amount of these leaps. NL is not bad at connecting things, he is just atrocious at considering alternative connections you could make.
u see malf highlight hawaii and u just know hes gonna send it 2nd immediately just like the previous guess even though the logic is way more tenuous and u have like at least 3 things from previous turns as good guesses, some of which also work for multiple of them .
I still do not believe there's a chance Malf made that leap on his own. How the fuck do you get past the clear hurdle that there is no such thing as a birdie in squash
It's more that he miraculously came up with both "Box" and "Squash" at the same exact time, quoting Ryan's exact logic as to why he selected them. Chat definitely tipped him off, and it's not like it really matters at all, but it's so obvious lol. He even gets defensive when he's challenged on them because he knows they're right.
@@peytonalexander5300 So his chat wasn’t just saying the answer but also NL’s logic, Malf read that logic topic in chat, then announced that logic for 2/3. And then immediately moved on, not guessing it or anything? Seems kinda a stretch, I don’t see why he could’ve have just made a guess about what his friends clue was supposed to mean, even if other people were struggling to connect them?
@@pwndnoob4937 I'm sorry but... Soldier, Kangaroo, Buffalo, Bee.... and what's the 5th one? Don't get me wrong 4 is still insane for codenames, but I can't find the 5th living word, and if I had to throw in a guess I'd say root, but it's not red, so yea I don't get it.
@@FranXiT dude. I was just answering your question. People hear "Buffalo" and think of the city. Root is a good reason that "living 5" isn't a slam dunk. All these things are true.
Scarecrow is the obvious reason why the clue is bad, but any normal person would also think about cuckoo clocks or the Amazon rainforest for birdie before a sport that doesn't use birdies and a movie from half a decade ago with no cultural impact that doesn't have birdie in its name.
I was 100% with NL and Malf when it came to Squash. As someone who knows nothing about squash 😂 The birdie and the bee and the birdie box was insane though
so let me get this straight - he had to use birdie, so he gets squash, and it isnt bird for scarecrow ... and his other 2 hints were birds and bees and birdbox????????
The full rules are available on the game's official site (where you can play it for free). It's codenames (place a dot here) game The short version in my own words: Players split into RED and BLUE teams. Every team has one Spymaster. The game board is a 5x5 grid of words. Every word is either RED Agent, BLUE Agent, An Innocent or An Assassin. Only the Spymasters know who is who, but they cannot communicate it normally to their teams. Every turn, the Spymaster gives his team a one-word hint that cannot be on the board already. Together with the hint, the Spymaster gives them a number, that correlates to the number of Operatives connected to the hint. It can be 0, it can be Infinity. Then, the rest of the team picks between 1 and one-more-than-the-number-Spymaster-gave words on the board. * If they pick the Assassin, they instantly lose. * If they pick their Agent, they can continue. * If they pick An Innocent, their turn ends. * If they pick an enemy Agent, their turn ends. First team to have all their Agents revealed wins.
board of 25 words. each team has 8 of the words. the spymaster's goal is to give a one-word clue that connects as many of their team's words together as possible, in order for their teammates to guess all their words before the other team. 8 of the remaining words are neutral, they don't award points but accidentally guessing one would end your turn, kinda like missing a shot in battleship. the last word is the death word which, if guessed, ends the game immediately giving the win to the other team.
I like how they're giving NL so much shit for expecting them to have such roundablut logic for the answers, but then they use the most insane, broken logic ever to somehow glean "Hawaii" from "Wrestling".
Look up the Anoa'i family (which includes the Rock Johnson). They are all from Hawaii (well they lived there at least) and had a lot of shows there. The Young Rock tv show plays there too.
@@Swingel That doesn't make the logic any less ridiculous. That would be like giving the word "Dictator" to try to get someone to guess "Amazon" because Hugo Chaves was the dictator of Venezuela.
It's not a bad clue when your teammates literally say out loud the full logic. Animal 3 is better because it's more obvious, but they fully figured out and vocalized birdie 3. But wrestling 6 kinda cracked. I don't know how they talked themselves into Hawaii for wrestling, but otherwise they'd have caught up
It's not a great clue either though when 2 out of the 3 still relate back to bird. You know... the very thing he was trying to avoid with scarecrow. You really can't blame them for picking that.
That's not how this game works. You're just picking the correct logic. They also said out loud logic that leads to almost any clue on the board based on birdie.
@@acemind1 Yeah, this exactly. You can't say "well it was a good clue because at one point they said out loud what the answer might be, because they said almost every word on the board as what it might be. It's not like once you say it it's locked in. You still gotta pick which connection you thought of is the right one!
Hawaii used to be a big wrestling territory. Malf mentions The Rock who isn't actually from Hawaii but the Rock's Father/Uncle Mother and Maternal Grandfather all have ties to Pro Wrestling in Hawaii. Kind of a big leap, but it isn't total Moon Logic
@@acemind1 well, I didn't say it was a good clue. If it was a great clue, they would have guessed only the correct answers. If it was a good clue, they would guess some correct answers. If it's a bad clue, they wouldn't understand what you are going for and guess opponent answers. He was in the ballpark because they vocalized his logic. Obviously it wasn't a great clue, because they didn't guess the right answers.
it was an extremely popular movie in ~2018, the image of the characters wearing blindfolds became a meme for a few months. if you're older than 20 and you're american ask any of your peers if they've seen it
It was so fucking funny for this hint to be so utterly horrendous and for everyone to be so confused at NL’s logic just for MALF to somehow find the logic word for word.
Irrefutable proof of nurture over nature. They're not related but growing up in rural Canada wired them similarly.
@@torak49 They also went to high school together. Canadian rivers run deep
Birdie -> bird -> beak -> leak -> gas leak
Using NL's own logic model, I think he's trying to tell us to send help
no fucking way
They call them operatives, but MALF is definitely an opp
SO FUCKING TRUE +2
NL could have seemed like a reasonable human if he lied and said he just didn't see scarecrow.
“You had Animal 3”
He’s never coming back from that one holy shit
This is definitely one of the greats that will be lost on the mainstream. since it's not a short bit.

Gas leak era going to another level
"You can't be mad about that, war is fine."
Ryan "NorthernLion" Leterneau, 2023
Malf was forced to understand him with time
of course birdie makes sense for scarecrow, its the name of the scarecrow in bad fur day. he's called birdie because "I scare the birds"
from the person who brought you "there really are only 8 types of animals" we present "badminton squash tennis and pickleball are all racket sports"
to be fair to him malf got it perfect they just didnt click
always be clicking
@@hmm_okok except for when you be slam clicking hawaii when u think the rock is from hawaii but hes actually not, dont be clicking then
aren’t they, though?
Yeah, but only one of those is a true statement.
@@loggersviii1228the rock is from samoa not hawaii
Birdie to squash is an insane leap
I pegged the clue immediately, and still thought it was absolutely insane.
I mean as a badminton player, my mind immediately went to that, and squash shortly after. But yeah, badminton player is not a general criteria
NL's clues while they do connect to what he is going for, it requires so many leaps you can reach different answers with amount of these leaps. NL is not bad at connecting things, he is just atrocious at considering alternative connections you could make.
This is one of the most infuriating clips ever. Subscribed
giving CBT 2 as a hint and have my operatives correctly guess clock flat
my mortal mind can't comprehend the ideas nl is trying to convey in this clip
This is one of the NL moments of all time
Hawaii was an absolutely abysmal guess lmfao
He is not beating the "Worst spymaster" allegations.
don't pick the bird related ones except the ones i want you to pick
i have officially matriculated NL into the tism community
u see malf highlight hawaii and u just know hes gonna send it 2nd immediately just like the previous guess even though the logic is way more tenuous and u have like at least 3 things from previous turns as good guesses, some of which also work for multiple of them .

Birdie for squash is easy enough, though maybe I've just played too much of this game, it's box and scarecrow that really pulled the clue apart.
They’ve been close friends since grade school, i buy that they soul linked
NL and MALF are childhood friends.
Pacific Rim neural link type shit

Birdie sucks but after responding to animal 3 with “that’s boring” I’m starting to respect it
I mean, he had "living" for 5, which would be way better than anything he's ever done.
@@pwndnoob4937 I'm sorry but... Soldier, Kangaroo, Buffalo, Bee.... and what's the 5th one? Don't get me wrong 4 is still insane for codenames, but I can't find the 5th living word, and if I had to throw in a guess I'd say root, but it's not red, so yea I don't get it.
@@FranXiT Squash, the vegetable. (or fruit or gourd or whatever it is)
@@ertchin dude. Root is way more living than squash. People hear squash and think of the action. Should be living 4 tbh
@@FranXiT dude. I was just answering your question. People hear "Buffalo" and think of the city. Root is a good reason that "living 5" isn't a slam dunk. All these things are true.
Gotta love it when ryan gets audited

they just made a birdbox sequel
no cultural impact??? you don't remember the viral birdbox challenge?
sanest Librarian thumbnail keep up the great work 👍🥤
Wresting = Action Figure? Dude, Wrestling = Figure-Four Leglock
Am I so out of touch? No, it's the operatives who are wrong.
His crutch is hockey teams when they only seem to know a couple lol
"War, you can't be mad about that, war is fine"
The facecam expressions just keep coming holy shit its so good
11:48 ICANT HE SAID THE WORD WRONG ICANT HE LOSES
mfers really mentioned all the words they hadn't gotten yet then proceeded to go with the death word instead
11:48 classic he said the word wrong moment
it was the best of MALF; it was the worst of MALF.
I still wanna know what sabre has to do with buffalo
Buffalo sabres is an NHL team.
@@NotASummoner of course it is 🤣
the cam is amazing
This man is just in another level
NL possibly the worst clue giver in history. Why didn't he just go animal 3?
birdies and the (b)ees = bee box buffalo i wouldn't have budged on it
He is beating the hinged allegations (he is unhinged)
Cannot believe the 1st clue wasn’t animals 3
insane that he figured out all the clues and then just didn't click them
She doesn't need to smoke weed before she goes to Walmart, she wants to
Librarian's thumbnails are the best on youtube
Ryan is possibly the worst codenmes player I have ever heard of
But I have heard of him
I was 100% with NL and Malf when it came to Squash. As someone who knows nothing about squash 😂
The birdie and the bee and the birdie box was insane though
I don't know what any of this shit is and I'm fucking scared
"Animal 3" was right there.
I would also not have gotten that, lol.
Kory is the imposter
The moral of the story is to learn about the Polynesian Islands.
I saw this live, but I still had to watch it again XD
Remarkable thumbnail, as always.
The Birdie Incident
God I love NLSS Crew Codenames
I would do these types of clues so I can't be mad
Not NL using birdie when he could’ve just said animal
Don't pick scarecrow because i said birdie pick box because it has bird in it! WHAT
I was losing it in chat, this was so funny man
EGG WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG!
Birdie in a Box ISAAC REFERENCE 👈😲
Dog NL should just HIRE librarian
his brain is just like mine
he's unhinged

Peak neurodivergent arc
so let me get this straight - he had to use birdie, so he gets squash, and it isnt bird for scarecrow ... and his other 2 hints were birds and bees and birdbox????????
Mf could've hit Squash and Kangaroo with Court
Great video when you dont understand the game theyre playing at ALL
I still think about how bad BIRDIE 3 was.
SQASH
The fucking thumbgot me😅
ok maybe i’m neurodivergent because i thought the birdie clue was perfect i would’ve done nl right
