Yeah you Lost: The Game alright
Which trash Tie-in caught you the most off guard? Which tie in do you know of that I missed? Let me know!
To this Day I wonder: Whose idea was making a Vanilla Ice Electronic Rap Game? Who Greenlit the idea? Who thought: "Yeah, that'll be the next Settlers of Catan"
you forgot to mention that CSI is the sole reason why a community is still hated
I really feel like with better development, the Lost game could have been amazing.
@@Ensign_games speaking from that community: it's not ONLY csi. 100 Ways to Die helped. But yeah, fuck CSI.
@@sunbirth4795 yeah, I keep forgetting about them
"Your son is weak. Your reproduction privileged is revoked."
*lasers the caller through the phone.*
What's the answer to your son thinking you are interfering with the things he enjoys and trusting his friends more than you? Easy, just forcibly separate him from all of them and never let him have any freedom again. If he ends up going no-contact after finally moving out then that just means the demons were too strong and you need to tell other parents to abuse their children even harder.
@@sealeo5772
As a queer person, this hits a little close to home lol. (Not for me tho, my parents accept me n stuff)
Why hasn't anyone thought of making a conspiracy theory game where you are a crackpot posting your stuff online and trying to get as many people as you can to see it.
"And if you mimic her answers a little too well, you could get in serious trouble." then you just show the fucking "11 times"
LMFAO HOLY SHIT MAN
It's even worse when put into context! This is basically how the interaction went:
"Hey, I'm black, and my white friends are being racist to me. What should I do?"
"Nothing! White people should say the n word, you stupid [hard r 11 times]!"
Fun fact: Campaign For North Africa: The Desert War 1940-43 is actually a brand tie in game for Olive Garden to sell more pasta
Confound it I should've known
The extra Rule in Lost:The Game is actually really good, because it allows you the following play Pattern
1. Setup
2. Agree to stop playing and have everyone win immediately
3. Set up a different, actually good game, like Coup or something
it would make sense if stoping playing was the bad ending:everyone dies. but everyone knew that playing this game was the bad ending
Im the Duke
No way, me too
No way, I am too!!
I call this the Monopoly Rule!
Okay, I think the Dr Laura game could actually be quite fun, with just one change: Instead of it being closest to what she said wins, it's funniest answer wins
the mbmbam board game
So just cards against humanity?
"quiplash but all the prompts are questions from a radio advice show" sounds absolutely delightful sign me up
@@thegingerchannel5879yeah this could totally be a tie in with mbmbam
The Dr. Laura n word thing is really funny in context, a black viewer asked about how her husbands white friends are being kinda racist to her, and her response is to go on a rant about how white people should be allowed to say the n word
And worth noting, she was neither fired nor suspended for this. She was just back on the air the very next day like nothing happened, a Thom Brennaman-style "apology" notwithstanding. She said she would retire at year's end, but what she really did was just move her show to Sirius XM. She never actually stopped, and to this day she still hasn't. Turns out for some folks, consequences just don't exist.
I think the TCR crowd would of loved her
quote from the cracked article:
"And she kept saying it! n-word, n-word, with the hard R! It was so ignorant that I swear she almost flew the caller out so she could touch her hair."
that is literal murder i love it
i always knew that csi ripped of paw patrol
@proton6475 Got to let the sheeple know the truth
just google the term "THAT EPISODE"
believe me its really funny
After that episode where Chase had to explain to the mayor all the different ways you can find DNA at a crime scene, I stopped letting my kid watch
I forgot all about Dr. Laura until now.
My mom was always listening to her radio show and all I could think is, "Wow, this is a god awful woman." Feels like a repressed memory because I'm realizing that my mom took more of her advice than none, which more than likely fueled my childhood trauma, creating those repressed memories.
What I'm trying to say is, thank you for giving me a Christmas gift idea.
Anything’s better than Rap Rat
"Video board game host" and "Satan" is a pretty impressive profile. Would never hire.
Agreed.
What do you expect from a vessel for the Demon of Fear?
Rap rat's the name, the video boa boudive
Even F.A.T.A.L.?
Vanilla Ice on the box of his game looks like he's going "Wait, why am I getting a board game?"
"Why am I famous? Why am I in a movie? Why am I having sex with Madonna?"
13:27 "Your son is weak, he would not survive the rapture"
Big LOST fan here, so maybe I can shed some light on the Option 3 victory thing:
LOST’s big tagline was “Live Together, Die Alone”, so I think that’s what they were going with. Agree to end the game together, everyone lives. Play the game until only one person is left standing, die alone.
Yes, it’s pointless. Yes, it’s kinda stupid, but I think it’s what they were going with.
Hey, I remember that CSI board game!
Namely, I remember it being scattered on the road while I did my job as a garbageman having to pick it all up.
Garbage, just like the show. how poetic
I remember it collecting dust in my grandma's house
I kinda wanna suggest something: Talking about board games tied to what is now lost media.
I ask because I have managed to find both a reskin of Hungry Hungry Hippos using the original Farmville, and an original game themed around now defunct virtual horse game Bella Sara(unfortunately I don't have half the pieces and am missing the rule book for that one), in thrift stores recently.
Wait Bella Sara was a video game? I remember seeing the horse toys in stores
@@juliamavroidi8601 yep! A children's virtual pet game tied to a trading card collection. The cards have beautiful artwork of horses, an inspirational message, and a code to get the horse on the website as your own.
The books, board games, DS/PC tie ins, lore guides, dolls, figures, movies, puzzles, and squishies came afterwards.
@@juliamavroidi8601 weird. It didn't post my reply but I essentially said "Yeah. It started as a virtual pet site where you registered trading cards to get horses in game. It branched into a ton of different things during the height of its popularity though."
@@juliamavroidi8601it’s both ala Webkinz
I feel like that fall under the celebrity area of huh, or it sibling called "what?"
My favorite off the wall board game tie in is Clue Bridgerton Edition. It’s such a funny concept to me because 1. The show is not a murder mystery at all, in all three seasons there has only been one plot line that involved murder and no one questions the circumstances of the character’s death; and 2. The show is focused on eight siblings so the likely hood that this game involves the murderer killing their relative is nonzero
It's right up there with Monopoly: Dragon Ball Z edition in terms of 'wha-huh?' board game tie ins.
I bought a copy of The Golden Girls Clue as a gift once. They replaced the murder plot with "who ate the last slice of cheesecake?", iirc
@@distorteddivine3638it's worse because Monopoly is like Fortnite in the sense that they will collab with ANYONE
What's with CSI tie-in merch sucking? First asbestos fingerprint kits and now this?
@@Plantrum No matter how many failures it takes, they will make ONE good product
AN ASBESTOS FINGERPRINT KIT??????
@@jokerofspades-xt3bs Yeah, in 2007 there was a CSI Fingerprint Examination Kit for kids. The dusting powder was found to be full of tremolite - a form of asbestos that's dangerous even by asbestos standards - with concentrations in some samples reaching 7%.
It probably ended up in there because it naturally forms in a lot of the same places as talc.
@@jokerofspades-xt3bs Yep. It made the fingerprints visible real good, at the cost of your health...
Yo, Stump!
She found her rump.
He lost his lump.
The DJ was grump.
King of the blame
His rap was lame
Like a lyrical poet shame
Yo Mama said candle flame.
dude i loved That One Guy/Thing, good to see it's still being talked about in 2024
It was one of the classics for sure
I never knew the worst case scenario game was based on a book series! My family played it on long car trips when I was a kid. We would just ignore the whole board and dice rolling part, and instead we would just go through the multiple choice questions.
The antiques roadshow board game game me a hit of nostalgia of me and my dad watching it (we had nothing else to watch)
biggest problem with most "tie-in" products as that they're usually just "lazy cash grabs"
Lost: The Game is as disappointing as the finale, and I haven't even watched a single episode.
I HATED _Lost._ A couple I mnew were obssesed and had to watch every week, so sometimes I got stuck watching it when I visited, which was often. The "compelling" nature of the show bored me to tears and then they'd try to explain the twisted plot to me ... I just ... didn't ... care.
The fact that it got a board game is disappointing, but not surprising. Sounds terrible.
@@daffers2345oh yeah lost is pretty stupid
There was a scene where some trees were shaking and a theory came out saying the trees were having seizures
There's good theory shows and bad ones
The Vanilla Ice Electronic Rap Game is the Shark Tale of Board Games
The worst tie-in games are the ones that just aren't fun to play. I can stomach an incomprehensible tie-in if the game is fun to play.
We read a webcomic where a Dr. Laura parody was a fairly significant supporting cast member. After her getting canceled, she almost immediately disappeared from the comic, with little more than a parody of that moment as a send-off.
… She was literally the mother of one of the main characters, to give some idea of how suddenly Laura fell off the face of the collective awareness.
CSI tie ins can't seem to get a break: there was a forensics kit made for kids with the CSI brand, it was recalled for absestos.
13:24 yeah, that sounds like the average Dr. Laura experience from someone who's had the misfortune of having listened to it before
This makes me think about a game I once played about the First Hary Potter film/book. Because it was a trivial persuit style game it had some very general questions but since it was about only one (fairly thin children's) book it had some very detailed questions. Like at what position Vernon Dursley sat in regards to the window at his job or at what specific time he drove to work. The game had multiple choice options but it was better if you knew the answer before they told you the multiple choice options since you would get double the rewards.
I remember a game similar to that. Might not of been Harry potter, but boy where some of those questions insanely specific.
That the worst board game ever thing is written by Seanbaby. He was super active in the early 2000's to mid 2010's doing stuff just like the worst board game ever review thing he did, but to rather obscure video games, and other topics.
he's still active to this day! him and robert brockway run 1-900 HOTDOG ("the last comedy website") and it's like he never left
Dude's still around, he's just put his stuff behind a paywall because he's got a kid and bills to pay. I still reread his Cracked articles every so often, because he's pretty much the only Web 1.0 comedian whose work still stands up... for the most part.
We get it grampa, you're old as absolute fuck.
And I got it because I knew that as well :_;
@@christian_sidehugoh, I've read an article from them on the topic I actually know a lot about and yeah it's shit
@@richardpreston7333Evans has a decent podcast (behind the bastards). Cody runs a news show but it's an acquired taste
I didn't even know the rules of the Vanilla ice game, and I think I voted that thing to make semis.
9:41
I actually had ‘The Worst Case Scenario Survival Game Junior Edition’ as a kid… and while not worse than TWCSSG, it certainly was…different.
See instead of have multiple choice cards, the junior version gave you a brief scenario (you fell down a steep hill) and you had to use a *specific* tool card to ‘solve’ that situation (you use a rope to pull yourself back up). If you got it right, you roll the die and move that many spaces. If you got it wrong, then nothing happens.
Problem was, the player is never guaranteed to have the correct tool cards in their hand. In the above situation, if you don’t have a rope card, you are forced to play the ‘wrong’ tool card and lose your turn (no matter how creatively you use that wrong tool). For example, you are locked in a walk-in fridge and need to survive? Sure you could play the ‘Clothes’ tool card to stay warm, but you’ll be wrong! Instead you needed to play the ‘Water Bottle’ tool card because of dehydration… Too bad you didn’t even have a ‘Water Bottle’ card to begin with, so your entire turn was a waste!
The only solace was that there was another type of card, the ‘which is worse’, which was the precursor to the most recent ‘Worst Case Survival Game’, but it was certainly less frustrating…
You should review ICP's boardgames. Yes, I said gameS, plural. They have several.
There's a tabletop RPG, Two Dice rolling games, a deck building game (with an expansion) and a cards against humanity rip off (with an expansion).
ICP held their own gaming convention. Twice!
I went in 2018 and it was fun until it was shut down because people were fighting.
ICP? As in Insane Clown Posse? They have a TTRPG?
@@xenon8927 yep, it's called pendulum's promise. I believe it's based on DnD 3e. The full rulebook is available online if you Google it
Vanilla Ice looks like he has a bold spot at 16:02 i find that somewhat funny
@@CathyDotUK The Ice Man has come onto some hard times
Caller: We are worried about our son
Laura: Send him to private school. Next caller
Antiques Roadshow was the OG Pawn Stars.
Babe wake up, my new favorite male uploaded again.
i love this guy, i wish he sold licensed bedsheets.
The way this video coincides with the Behind The Bastards podcast fills me with delight.
Honestly, there needs to be another tournament but it's all board games you've talked about since the previous tourney. I'd like to see if the newcomers can beat out the old vets.
Also, the next video is gonna be legendary. I can feel it.
As that one guy/thing, I can confirm that everyone loves me so much they would purchase everything that has me on the branding of it.
I was in the London Maritime Museum a few years ago and they had a stack of Worst Case Scenario books in the gift shop. I thought: "Oh cool, a survival book to match the theme of the museum!" I picked it up, opened a random page and it was about identifying and escaping a murderous clown. "If the clown has murderous eyes, sharp teeth or a weapon on him, he might be murderous." Yeah no shit.
Sweet, tabletop Scott The Woz uploaded again.
thinking about clue: scott the woz edition, a clue reskin about a youtuber's murder mystery halloween special, is a better board-game tie-in than the ones here, made for actual major TV series
13:24 Ah yes, the true enemy of Christianity: long hair! Jesus was well known for his crew cut and clean shaven appearance!
All I'm saying is the moral of Samson is that haircuts are you rejecting God's gift! Also does this woman know how much private Christian schools cost?
12:32 "Oops" indeed
8:10 OHIO DETECTED
he really is board gaming's very own Scott the Woz
my grandparents had The Worst Case Survival Game at their house and i am perhaps one of the only souls on this earth who actually enjoyed the game. obviously nobody else wanted to play the game, so i would just open up the box and read and memorize all the cards. forgot them now but they were taking up far too much brainspace anyways.
3:15 Paw Patrol here is wild 😭
9:14 I actually own a board game based explicitly on the Harry Potter Books! It's a trivia board game based on the first book and it's actually really fun. Each player starts by pulling colored beads out of a sorting hat which determines their House and therefore their game peice, and the you go around the board collecting charm, spell, and curse cards while answering trivia questions about the book. The amount if detail put into that thing is genuinely impressive.
Oh i absolutely need to get my hands on the Dr. Laura game, my friend group would tear that apart lol
I can’t stop watching these so this came at a perfect time
I remember playing the Worst Case Scenario game years ago. I actually enjoyed it, probably because I found the trivia to be fascinating on its own.
So I enjoy listening to old radio clips and remembered my mom listening to Dr. Laura while driving in the car. I wanted to find airchecks of her show but for some reason there weren't very many around.
I guess I understand why now.
9:56 i played the Worst Case Scenario survival game at a restaurant that had free to play games, and not gonna lie, it was fun but only because they didn’t have most of the pieces for the board game part. they had all the cards though and we just made it into a trivia game. :)
the worst case scenario game is super nostalgic for me though i cant even remember if we even played it but i have so many fond memories of just reading the cards as a kid
what is he sitting on?
millenial here, i will take this one. back in the 90s, it was seen as the height of all coolness to take a chair, turn it backwards and then sit on it so that you are like straddling the backside of it.
references: See AC Slater via Saved By The Bell
If you make a BEST board game tie-in, I nominate Loopin’ Chewie.
Just came out of a big bafta showcase. This is so damn refreshing after enduring inel tomlinson for an hour and a half combined
When i saw the community post, i honestly thought you were going to talk about the Fortnite version of Monopoly, which is a game i actually played myself a while back. I don't think it's a great version of Monopoly, but i think the way they implemented some of the mechanics of Fortnite into it was actually pretty cool.
Absolutely love Fortnite Monopoly, it will definitely be included in one of these at a later date
@@kamsandwich Maybe there's material for a video of "games that seem like they should suck but are actually really fun"?
To be fair "over the top unmitigated disaster" was/is Seanbaby's writing style lol
I have the Worst Case Scenario survival game. The issue is you’ve either read the book and know all the answers or you don’t and you lose.
I had to look up this Cracked article and it did not disappoint. The absolute best line:
Dr. Laura said "dissing" in the same way someone might fuck a jar of pickles in an unlocked room--very nervously, with a pained look on her face and certain what she was doing was wrong.
When you mentioned book tie-in games, I hoped you'd bring up "Darkover: The Ages of Chaos."
It's based on a deeply weird series of novels (whose author eventually turned out to have been a child predator).
The game is basically Risk, but with bizarre changing resolution mechanics which include starting contests, dares, and trying to convince other players that they don't exist.
whenever i played WCS, we would just discard the board entirely and play it like a trivia game. ask the question, write the answer down and get points. bonus points if you could explain why you were correct
way, way more fun
that article was perhaps the greatest piece of journalism i have read in years, bless you for improving my quality of life through sharing it
8:15 also diplomacy have states that make it physically impossible for anyone to win. This normally happens when someone get close to the win condition and a large block of players try to stop them. Of course, since it A) require all remaining players to agree that it a draw, which requires B) cooperation between mulpiple people often to stop one strong player, which can lead to c) someone stabing the non strong player, you can end up with the over 100 year (so over 200 phases, 300 if you count builds, and probaby over 400 with retreats) game that happen( it was online and each phase was at least a day long, lasting multipe years irl.)
I think the worst kind of tie-in board game would be one that's extremely distasteful on top of being awful to play.
Kurt Cobain's Shotgun Roulette
Kevin Spacey's Kiddie Diddler
Wife Beater, featuring Chris Brown
Buckshot Roulette is a good game though
I work in a thrift shop and saw five identical copies of some backstreet boys board game
3:16 Isn't Paw Patrol also a disaster-of-the-week show (something like 9-1-1) depending on the episode? I know this has no bearing on the actual topic of the video but now I'm suddenly thinking about "what children's cartoons are secretly G-rated versions of evening TV dramas"...
god that cracked article is so good and i would probably feel the same way if my favorite game to riff off of was tainted like that lol
I’m so happy that I came across your channel to satisfy my boardgame curiosity.
The best board game tie in is Scott the Woz Monopoly.
Mhmm, the Lost game sounds like it tried to have a combination of cooperation and backstabbing into one, and failed. Feels like to could learn a lot from Nemesis, which uses those two ideas aswell but does it fantasically.
I love the construction site tan, have the same one every summer
Kam truly never fails with the comedic timing
My brother got tWCSSG as a gift when we were teenagers. I think we played it twice, then it sat on a shelf until he got rid of it
The Lost board game is basically Nemesis but without everything that makes Nemesis good.
actually, doing a diss track of your friends when you win a game is sick
genuinely i would love merch of that one guy/thing
It's kinda insane how the spectrum of board game tie-ins ranges from junk like the Antiques Roadshow game to beloved titles like Disney/Marvel Villanous.
I've played the Worst Case Scenario game and there was a card about sprinkling flour around your car so you can see footprints if you think people are going to secretly tamper with it, like cutting your brake cables. I read one of the books and they're a degree of magnitude less weird than this, it's more about surviving a bear attack or having to kick open the door to a burning building
Released just in time for the Dr. Laura Behind the Bastards episodes.
My Great Uncle Terry was in LOST
I don’t think he even knows this exists
After watching this for the fourth time, I realized that "the best worst thing" is perfectly on brand for Vanilla Ice
My wife and I came across The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Game in a vacation house and we found the best use for it was to just read off the trivia cards at random times of day and have people guess the answers, because it always felt really absurd
I feel like one problematic tie-in is xcom: the board game. I'm sure it's fun, people say it is, however, it has two main problems. The first is that theres an app that handles some stuff needed for gameplay. So if your phone is dead or you forgot/cant download it, you can't play the game. The other is how incredibly complex it is. There is an entire tutorial mode on the app, and each player has paragraphs upon paragraphs of how their role works. It's ridiculously in-depth.
one design idea that could benefit lost is having the powerful cards added later into the game, the player has a bit more time to be somewha ready for it.
How did Dr. Laura not get into the worst board game tournament?
Honestly the Vanilla Ice Electronic Rap Game seems kinda amazing.
14:05 Holy shit, that DOES explain why I saw Seanbaby and JCVD xD
Now i really want "That one Guy/Thing" merch
So now then, when are we getting the KamSandwich tie-in bord game ? I imagine a big bord game with a bunch of smaller mini game bord games to do as you move around.
the Vanilla Ice electronic Rap game a real dog kicker that one.
We need the Hobo Johnson game
You leave me and my Tamagochi Gen 3 Boardgame ALONE
that thing basically RAISED me
The sons of anarchy men of Mayhem board game had gotta be the worst tie in theming but one of the most fun economics board games I've played. Do the audiences of SOA and economics games overlap enough for such a thing?
I'm working on a game of my own at the moment, and this makes me glad to know that I can at least do better than THESE boxes of garbage lol
Lost: The Game has inspired me to make my own game. Thank you
I knew who Dr. Laura was before watching this 😭😭😭 (She was on the radio a bit when I was a kid here in Canada)
