yaaayyy what a ride 🤪
What a ride indeed
YAYYYY! (Caine is a ai btw)
What a ride indeed
Could you react to Nothing But Thieves? The lead singer, Conor Mason's vocals are great and the band has lots of different songs
What a ride indeed
Fun fact: In english Jax said "I'm so unbelievably disappointed right now" but in french he said the meme "my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined", how nice. 😂
nice. I love dub trivia
Frfr lucky
Oh okay I checked and it's true, cool. I didn't take the time to watch the french dub yet even though it's my native language.
I second that.
@Oceane1803 I also have not watched it in my native language. I need to give it a look
Caine is not a villain but he is basically the saying “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” he’s an AI that doesn’t know how to properly help the humans who get trapped there and is unintentionally hurting them
Important to stress he is genuinely trying to help in every way he can
@@Hamantha Other than by actually talking to the people to find out how his actions are *actually* affecting them.
@@alansmithee419 that oddly enough makes him humanish. My theory on his behavior is that his creator used themselves as a reference. So Caine's creator is most likely socially awkward, doesn't like being direct since they're shy, etc and that transfered over to Caine but in a more toxic way since he's AI and not a human (which would prevent him from picking up on ANY social cues that his creator might have been able to pick up on)
i see many people hate on caine but he’s just trying to make the group happy. he tried to create an exit just because they all wanted one and he makes them go on adventures to distract them or make them stay sane. Also according to the creator Caine can feel loneliness which (kind of) makes him human in a sort of way.
@shrekmug3253 Not disagreeing, I'd just like to discuss Caine more because he's an interesting character
So if what I heard is true, Caine genuinely wants to help and understand humans, he's just not very good at helping them
The people want a distraction from their technically doomed fates
So Caine made adventures to try and distract them
But he doesn't understand that they don't like the adventures (for the most part at least)
The humans really wanted an exit
So he made one
It was a fake exit, but he still made one
But he doesn't get why the humans want one and why they would use one, and how it's supposed to make them happy
So his understanding of the humans is... superficial? Is that the right term?
I think his character is quite facinating and I'm wondering what they'll do with this goal for him in the future
Because if I'm interpreting Caine's reaction to Gummigoo correctly, Caine very likely has accidentally erased a human before, and despite being AI, he's still traumatized
The teapot is a developer reference. It’s a simple object to make, but is complex enough to be used to test light while developing games. It makes sense there would be a teapot somewhere outside the main map, just like the asset library itself.
It's called the "Utah teapot", and it's basically become the "Hello, world!" of computer graphics (you remember Toy Story, when Buzz realizes he's a toy and goes kinda hysterical, claiming to be "Mrs. Nesbit"? He's holding the Utah Teapot in that scene).
Usually people don’t actually make their own teapot model, they just use the classic existing one.
22:45 love the other two bandits just chilling and dancing in the background, they're the best

Gummigoo 🤝 Sir Pentious
We gain the love of the fandom only to be eliminated in less than a second by powerful beings.
At least Sir Pentious went to heaven.
Gunmigoo didn’t even get that.
@@DoMorrMusic Gummygoo got turned into a marketable plushy
@@DoMorrMusicwasn't. sir pentious. a sinner in hell
@@illegallytheythem not after he got eliminated
@@DoMorrMusic yeah i'm still really confused by the whole hazbin hotel lore (especially since i can't really watch it) so i'm not really sure how that works or if it even makes sense at all
The creator confirmed Caine is am ai who doesn't understand humans very well ^^
can'teLL a.i: from pL@yer($$)
Appenrently he also said that he likes lying to confuse people (And it's not like he would give away a big twist if it was one)
But yeah, let's see where all of this goes
Half the stuff about this series is said by the creator behind the scenes. Why should people even watch a show if they can’t get all the information from it and have to follow a twitter account
@@unclekarl5219Because spoilers, and the show is purposefully leaving things ambiguous to expand upon later.
Caine mentioned that the AI is more complex for this adventure, meaning he unintentionally made Gummigoo more capable of getting more existential about who he is. Even though he was Watchmen Rorschach'd, he still may come back in a future episode, so he's not totally dead at least.
But would it be THE Gummigoo?
@@LiMe251I don't know.
Fun fact, the very first thing ever made in 3D modeling was a teapot
Wow.
Cool!
Funny enough, the Fudge's entire personality, mannerisms and even the voice are based on The Greedy from Raggedy Anne and Andy: A Musical Adventure.
Yes!! I was so excited that Fudge was a reference to Greedy!!
That was the FIRST THING I TYPED IN THE LIVE CHAT WHEN I SAW HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME!
“THE GREEDY!”
Gummigoo was done absolutely dirty. First an existential crisis then given hope only to be Thanos snapped out of existence. Jax is a bastard and a half. Pomni is adjusting fairly well and it's good she realizes the gang will have her back
I wouldn’t say he’s dead. Gooseworx said there will be something for the Gummigoo fans down the line.
@@backpack_hermit25glad to hear that honestly!💖
@@backpack_hermit25No way.
@@abbieuniverse8934 ?
13:26 HOW DID HE KNOW
19:17 BRUHHHHH
FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED HIS PREDICTION
Frrrrrrrr
Shocked at that aswell lol
11:12 "don't touch it, don't touch it!... maybe touch it. MAybe. maybe! see what happens" LMAO
Pomni's speech on "feeling like nothing" strikes me as indicating some *pre* Circus trauma.
She remembered the interaction with the alphabet block that launched her into the ceiling due to glitching, and extrapolated that to the other blocks she saw.
I love how at 13:23 he literally predicted what happens at the end lol
matthew just sat there casually perfectly predicting the plot of the episode on point 😭
I like how they go into the idea that despite Ragatha's attempts to bridge the gap, Pomni still felt isolated due to how desensitized everybody is to the events. It's nobody's fault of course, but mean that seeing them be emotional about the death of their dear friend allowed her to finally connect and see them as actual people stuck in this crazy place too, rather than other alien entities that happen to supposedly come from the human world too
The idea that me and everything around me could be ai for someone else's life is my Roman Empire
22:38 the crocodile guys dancing in the background is so cute
I feel like Jax is going to be a VERY interesting character.
Obviously he’s being a *%!bloink!]*-hole as a coping mechanism but I’m so excited for them to explore that.
I never knew a coping mechanism could be being an a hole to people. But hmm. That definitely makes Jax more interesting.
Me too! I'm thinking if he's taking his anger and frustrations out by causing chaos, to try and keep himself sane and not abstract, knowing that no one (hypothetically) would actually get hurt, it could open up some very interesting story subplots
@@FeligamiAdrizoeSworaBunnydoll mostly because no actions they can do even matters, the only real effect he can get outta anything is by affecting the other players. He treats the adventures as nothing but the games they are , and he knows non of the players can actually get hurt. So he basically seeks stimulus and distraction using all'at.
When that fails his facade falls and you can see him being vulnerable with his emotions, like how intensely upset he gets for the adventure not being much of an adventure, which is an overreaction. He also immediately slips his facade back on the moment he gets sad over ragatha mentioning the funeral, and ofc he doesn't attend. That will simply ground the fact that what's going on is real.
All in all he's an ahole , but he's got more to him than that which is interesting to see
Gumigoo will be remembered😭
Not Mathew being smarter than half the other people that reacted to this because everyone I saw react didn’t notice the monster signs and put the pieces together that the monster was in the mud pudding stuff 😂
25:18 I enjoyed Jax's expression here, we can see him get sad and put up a wall
Great catch on the fudge monster signs as they enter the candy kingdom! I didn't notice them when I watched the episode, and none of the reactors I've seen so far have noticed them either. I really love the funeral scene, and how it resolves her nightmare of being abstracted and forgotten by showing her how much these people really care about each other.
The fact Matthew even got the Thanos snap right
Btw the reason for the Tea kettles is because its a complex shape people use to test lighting on 3d objects
The raggedy Ann and Andy the musical references are so real
Nooooo GummiGoo was already my favourite
He will be remembered. Rest in piece, Gummigoo
There’s actually a song called digital hallucinations that has the voice actors singing. It’s really good. Idk if you heard it or not since it came out a good bit ago but if you haven’t I highly recommend it :333
So, fun note:
The “57” in 57 times more immersive is a reference to the Turing Test, in particular it is a reference to how any existence can prove itself sentient and worthy of human rights by international law if it can succeed through both the first and second 20 question test, then get 17/20 correct on the far and made on the spot to avoid cheating third test. Humans only generally score between 48 and 52 on average, with low numbers such as 38 having been seen from humans. However, 57 times the realism that The Gloink Queen showed means that the NPCs have far surpassed humans in their “humanity” already
13:27 I'm amazed with your ability to predict EVERYTHING...
Bro literally forgot who Bubble was smh
I’m really glad you got the significance of the funeral scene. That flew over the heads of so many people.
13:21 The fact you even predicted the SNAPPING OF FINGERS??? Dude...
Gummigoo got Truman Showed!
He got Buzz Lightyeared!
He got…he got…Space Odyssey’d!
13:24 HE CALLED IT OMG XDD

Hm, no reaction to Jax's reaction to the mention of Kaufmo's funeral.
13:25
HOW THE FVCK DID YOU PREDICT THAT😭
If you want to stay on time for a topic I'd suggest watching "Llamas with hats"

@@limerobloxgaming8567Dat's da joke
@@bosiagan OH LOL
Gummygoo is the best character, and he needs justice.
4:48 - You are the only reactor I've seen that actually noticed the signs outside of the castle. Admittedly I didn't even notice them when I first watched this episode, and it took me several rewatches before finally seeing them.
Seriously, though, I get why Caine did what he did, but given that the AI he supposedly created is sophisticated enough to bet self-aware and go through an existential crisis upon finding out the purpose of his otherwise meaningless existence, it still feels cruel to just pop him away. This real dives into "what measure is a life", since Caine is clearly prioritizing the human lives over the NPC lives, and even then, he's completely oblivious to the trauma they're going through, particularly with poor Pomni.
This series is so messed up, yet still manages to take itself seriously when it needs to, and has a lot of heart otherwise. That ending where Pomni finds comfort in knowing the rest of the humans in the Digital Circus (with the exception of Jax, but even he can't completely hide his feelings in this episode) will look out for her. After all, they're all in this together.
13:25 Holy. Shit.
Great reaction! Was waiting for this! Love that you predicted what would happen to Gummigoo. Poor guy, he was such a good character.
I think matt was the only person ive seen who reacted to the Fudge sign at the castle gate, also this was the first time I ever noticed it too
Jax was holding a shotgun while in the shotgun seat lmao
I love the constant questioning and bewilderment but I feel like a lot of it for this series just needs to be written off with “it’s just an advanced online game” and/or “just go with it” otherwise we’ll miss a lot of the meat of it 😅
This is most likely set around the 90s.
me talking to myself trying to gaslight Matthew into thinking he isn’t guessing 99% of the episode correctly
Why is this me😭😭
I'm surprised you didn't have a reaction to Bubble's "sounds sticky" bit. Patreon I suppose?😂😂😂
I think Jax wanted a battle lol
Matthew conclusion of the episode is pretty spot on
Fun fact: do you know, that “Pomni” is a Russian word “remember”?)
Matt reacts to TADC episode 2, aka Matt has crisis after crisis until he sees one of the characters have an existential crisis of their own and then proceeds to prepare himself for their inevitable demise
3:46 No way he left out one of the best jokes in the episode 💀
9:10 bro he missed the figurine thing too 💀
At least Gummigoo lives on in plush form 😅
Re-watching this and I just noticed @5:06 in the background there is a purple and blue NPC and the purple one knocks the head off the blue one and then goes back to celebrating
13:25 now THATS Psychic Mathew
13:26 Matthew predicted it...
Amazing digital circus is breaking Mats mind one episode at a time 😭😭😭
14:32??!??
MATTHEW MCKENNA SWEARS UNCESNROEDD WOAHHH PATREON EXCLUSIVE RUclips VIDEO!
funny thing i noticed , when ragatha starts saying how they like to have a little funeral service for the people that abstract , if you pause at the right time by jax's face he looks sad , then goes back to angry , and when everyone catches pomni in her dream , jax's hand is not there, i dont know funny detail i saw , i just love jax and find that he's the best character
Mathew has been trained too well. He's prediction powers are getting more and more precise
13:25 oh well
Not just a random truck chase... I thought all mad Max films were required viewing for Aussie's in school ;)
Abandoned yet another group chat
Only for Mathew Mckenna ☺️✨💕
Lydia the Bard has a song about this called “No Way Out”
Why is Matthew so good at noticing everything and is able to predict everything that’s going to happen, before it happens 🤔🙃
8:11 PIZZA TOWER
13:25 I’m just gonna put this here…
And this 16:50 and 18:23 and 19:18
Poor gumigoo😭
AAA YESSS I AM SO HYPED FOR THISSS, WATCHING WITH A BOWL OF CEREAL THE SECOND I GET HOME ‼️
The fudge reminds me of the great mighty poo
orange zebras with big money...wtf was in that drink
Wait that finding out ur an npc or whatever thing is reminding me of Free Guy and now i want u to react to that-
Been waiting for this reaction since the episode dropped!
snapcubes real time fandub out of context
That is an excellent idea!
Congratulations! Pomni has officially reached the final stage of grief: acceptance!
Now she can get traumatized again and start all over! 🙃
Murder Drones episode 2 reaction plzzzzzz 😭
YESSS PLEASE
Omg, please, I'd love to see his reactions to the rest of the series.
Welp.... 13:24
Huh, I didn't think much about why Jax didn't want to see the destruction that was going to happen, this makes me think he doesn't actually like that stuff and is just chaotic on missions to ruin Caine's game, play the way it's not intended or something (him looking sad when they talk about Kaufmo's funeral helps with that theory i guess, bc it proves he isn't really evil), and he doesn't feel guilty causing death and destruction because those aren't real people.
Heh, I can't wait for an episode where they show us what is going on in Jax's mind, he has potential to be a very layered character.
Matt, can we get Apple & Onion out of context
19:15
oh how right he was
YOOO I WASNT EXPECTING TO SEE THIS FROM YOU YETTY 😮😮😮
“ I just feel like Cane wouldn’t allow that…” 😭
I just realised after watching it again that at 5:07 , in the background, the purple NPC got so excited that they decapitated a blue NPC D:
R.I.A. Kaufmo & Maybe See You in A While Crocodile
- What a Bittersweet ending to the leader of (what I will call them) the Gummy Gator Gang that being Gumigoo who is voiced by Jack Hawkins who also voiced another gummy gator that being Chad, & he also voices some Elf combat vocals & Shadow (Baldur’s Gate 3), & a few more while the remaining gator is Max voiced by Hamish Plaggmars who also voices Jones’s, Will, Cole, & Caleb (Broken Roads) then a few more. As for the named Candy Citizens there is Princess Loolilalu voiced by Vera Tan who also voices Gwyneth (AFK Arena) & a few more while as for the Fudge Monster he is voiced by Lyle Rath who also voices CEO, Angry Dent-Headed person, & Warren Buffett (Smiling Friends), Lifeguard & others (Helluva Boss), Tim Allen (Cyanide & Happiness), Golbat, Haunter, & Gastly (Starter Squad), Jaffe (Hellsing Ultimate Abridge), & a few more
- This episode was like Mad Max meets Westworld meets Candyland which speaking of the Fudge Monster maybe based on Gloppy & Greedy (Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure) while Princess Loolilalu maybe based on Princess Lolly
- When Pomni mentions she isn’t a kid this reminds me that Gooseworx said what are each of the ages of the Humans stuck in this digital circus with Pomni = 25, Ragatha = 30, Zooble & Jax = 22, Gangle = 26, & Kinger = 48
- The tea pots that you see under the map maybe a reference to the Utah Teapot
- Noticed that Jax uses a Boot-zooka & he mentions Augustus from “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”
I saw art soon after this came out of Pomni in her room with her own funeral for Gummygoo and that is just, yeah, he deserved one
Just fyi, TADC is a parody of the book "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream"
Mathew: i just need a little mentally scaring in my life
Me: oh, your going to get your mentally scaring
I just hope we don't have to wait another six months for episode 3.
0:06 it kinda looks like he’s wearing pomnis hat
3:49 Oh come on, you missed one of the best jokes!
8:11 Pizza Tower reference. Every youtubber misses this one
10:18 Utah Teapot reference(It's a 3d test model used as reference in the 3d modeling community)
13:38 The Fudge is a reference to The Greedy from the Raggedy Ann movie
You should probably watch bluey as therapy after this ep of digital circus
You need to react to EAH winter special!
They have Gummigoo merch
5:35 I mean Im pretty sure it’s confirmed he is an ai but it is confusing what Caine does. There’s a lot of questions you can ask about Caine. Hopefully we will find out more about Caine in the later episodes. My guess is that he was made into the circus as a friendly wholesome game until humans tested the headset and got stuck. Caine is just there to stop them from going completely insane.
Yeah, my guess is that he was written purely to entertain willing participants in the game. Anything beyond that is him operating outside of his original programming and he is just not good at it.
ALL EYES ON RAFAH ‼️‼️‼️
Yes 🫡🍉🍉🍉🍉❤️
Please stop. Bringing politics into videos that have nothing to do with it!
Time is an illusion
An hour late but can you react to Wander Over Yonder Out of Context or Wander Over Yonder songs???🙏🙏🙏
