This took a bit to make cause there were so many good bits, and the original episode is over 40 minutes long. I highly suggest subscribing to DropoutTV if you haven’t already, I’ve left out so much from this video, including an entire mini game.
You decided to leave out the shot of Brennans Soul visibly slowly shriveling up as Oscar wins the 2nd edition Lord of the Rings books to the statement of 'never red it!'? 😄
Great work on the vid 😊
Yup! Some bits are just too good to be free 😌
@@LeakyTrees That is fair. Support /Get Dropout people it'S 100% worth 😁
@@DarkHarlequin Sam: "This could be the eye of Sauron for all we know"
Oscar: "Don't know him"
😂
Great Edit!
They figured out how to combine Brennan losing with a meta-system that defeats the purpose of winning and losing, forcing Brennan to try to lose, and win without feeling like he deserved it. The perfect Brennan irritant. Glorious.
Last time Sam created a game where Brennan literally couldn't win. And when we all thought that couldn't be topped, Sam created a game where Brennan can't win on a spiritual level... Sam is the one guy who will always be one step ahaed of Brennan it feels. Diabolical 😄
@@DarkHarlequin don't forget the game where Brennan had to work with everyone in order to win the game (not the college humor skit the game changer jeopardy one ).
Makes me think of the Mike Trapp line “we all, desperately, want someone to put you I. Your place”
Forcing Brennan to try to lose didn't work, his moral stance was to just try his hardest anyway. He won by complete happenstance, and it infuriated him.
@@CiaphasKirby which was honestly the best way the episode could have ended and I spent the entire last game rooting for it. Exquisite
In a 3 person system Brennan came last, second and won the episode... That's impressive set up
Wow! Never thought about it that way
He literally, was first, second and third.
You could say... he dominated the game.
@@xavisdos3675 First things first, second things first, first second third things third, SEVEN
Rather reminiscent of Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality Ch. 33 Working in Groups, Coordination Problems
Where Professor Quirrell has divided all the first years into three Armies and they play mock battles on the Quidditch Pitch and Ravenclaw!Harry introduces the concept of Traitors to the tournament and each of the three generals' armies, Harry, Hermione, and Draco collapse into absolute chaos as all of their lieutenants and soldiers plot with and against each other in every possible permutation leading to the final outcome being death by suicide for a tie breaker under a false flag
Creating a situation where a triple agent betrayed all three armies to an outside influencer now becoming a quadruple agent
Which was only made possible and kept perfectly organized and planned in advance by a beyond outside influencer thus making Blaise Zabini a Quintuple Agent
The author was specifically stated they wanted to write something more complicated than Death Note.
Brennan was so ready to sprint up that hill with the gong prompt, only to realize by the end it was the hill of Sisyphus 😢
and even still, he pushed the bolder up the hill, and it stayed there
And the crowd goes wild with recognition!
Maybe I'm dyslexic. Maybe it's because I just did a round of wake and bake. But I swear to god my first pass of this comment, I thought it said "only to realize it was full of syphilis."
We’re talking about a hill not Grant Anthony O’Brien 🤭 /j /lh
"One must imagine Brennan Lee Mulligan happy." -Albert "Sam Reich" Camus, probably
“yes. i lost, and i broke one of my teeth.”
Amazing line ngl
Now the question is: did it break during the competition or did he do it after as a reminder to never lose again?
Stay in school kids
@@sandrosliske I think he lost and clenched his jaw so tightly to prevent himself from starting a fight, that he broke his tooth.
@@visionary5462 This is what I will choose to believe happened unless Brennan clarifies what did happen (and then I'll lowkey still believe it)
You can tell that he utterly fucking hates the end so much. Holy fuck. I have never seen him so angry
So absolutely perfect for the game to end with Oscar and Ally both taking 1st, leaving Brennan at the bottom, but technically still in 2nd
"What's happening is wrong."
@@plodiN3bet your fun at parties.
@@plodiN3I feel like if you worked on your self awareness more you could maybe stop making the people around you unhappy
Well, there was the episode where the rule was 'Brennan loses'. He REALLY didn't like that one.
The mental panic that ran across Brennan's face as he realized that Ally outsmarted him on the first question had me straight up cackling 🤣 "No, wait..." **thinking** "Fuck, is that actually the game??!"
Yes! The slight panic of "Oh no, is Beardsley winning?"
@@gaz-l621 I love how that happened and Brennan's face is just "SHIT that's good. WAIT IS THAT THE GOAL?!"
One underrated part is Ally taking charge of ALL the dances they were in, even starting the last one, unprompted. I wish I had that much confidence.
Sheer power of that they/them swag
@@axelmaldonado2642
Something I'm still trying to master.
Ally is just too damn good with it.
@@axelmaldonado2642 Sheer power of they/them swag **in an environment that supports them doing so**.
Sam Reich has used the privilege he has to construct this wonderful environment where his favourite people can be themselves. I have no doubt Ally wouldn't have their confidence in many places of the world because of how the world in general is intolerant of people who are different.
I commend Ally for their confidence but also Sam for allowing them the ability to be confident.
" *sigh of admiration* she is the perfect woman." No matter how many times i watch that bit, never fails to make me smile
Bearded Brennan has a very different energy to beardless Brennan.
And both have very different energies from pie mustachioed Brennan
This is the dad who would burn down the universe if it made his child cry and its beautiful
the beginning of Brennan's monologue at the end makes me deeply desire for him to host a children's program like on pbs or something along those lines, he's able to carry some real mr rogers energy when he speaks in earnest,hope that makes sense
If Brennan is the new Mr. Rogers, then Thor (of PirateSoftware) is the new Bob Ross...
@@Jedi_Vigilante Sounds about right. In fact, by the power vested in me BY me as a Stranger On The Internet, I declare it Internet Lore.
he has (and probably occasionally still does) worked at a LARP camp for kids! and from the stories he’s told he seems to enjoy working with kids a lot :))
Dude’s biggest dream was to be a Dad. And apparently he’s getting that chance! Last I heard they had a baby
@@Jedi_Vigilante I freaking love it when Thor, Goblin Lord and Furret Hero, gets recognition. He's such a great creator on here and seems like a stand up guy. He was on a HealthyGamerGG stream, talking about motivation for his community. I'd recommend that channel if you haven't already seen it, too. It's soo nice to see the cross-over of fans of cool dudes on the internet doing geeky stuff.
I just realized... Oscar enthusiastically smiled and waved when he walked in, and Ally flatly said the set wasn't up to code. By shouting with excitement through a bite of the banana he brought out with him, Brennan effectively had the most mid entrance.
"Not decisions, circumstances." most Brennan shit I ever heard come out of his mouth
A line I've already stolen and used in my own life
The combined joke Sam and Ally make about the Build a Bridge project in school felt like a personal attack against me lol. I made a bridge that held 657lbs…. Second place was 82lbs….
I'd love to know how you built a bridge that sturdy.
@@timothywilcox1539turn your Popsicle sticks sideways like pages of a book. use those as planks.
We did this too. Never did find out how much weight it could hold. We started stacking random shit and then someone accidentally knocked it over. We got up to all the weights, all the textbooks we had a couple laptops and bags and then someone toppled the tower. Anyway probably should have switched from education to engineering then lol
"Winning makes you feel really sad" with his mouth full of pie will make me laugh for eternity.
Izzy IS the perfect woman
I want to be their kid
@@chrishei3111stop being weird
@@headhunter1958I personally wish I had the sort of probable type of encouragement and energy that they seem to be able to foster, I think that's what they meant
Missing my favorite bit. They all have to venmo katie marovich an amount of money. Brennan gave her 20 dollars for pizza money he owed her, then another 30. Realized ally and Oscar gave almost double that and sent her another 95 dollars after the round ended with the note "I am ashamed."
*45. Yes, I left out that bit. I loved it, but honestly this was already getting too long. Plus, gotta give the people some reason to subscribe to Dropout ;P
This episode demonstrates that Brennan is not actually “competitive” unless you count competition with himself. It’s not winning that he cares about, it’s giving 100% to everything all the time. Most people aren’t doing that though so he looks super competitive.
Ally and Oscar were on the exact same wavelength and both just had the same thought of "Let's make Brennan 'win'" and trusted the other that their bets would sync up. You can't convince me otherwise.
Maybe I cry to easily but "Your best effort is all that anyone is asking for" made me tear up. Huge dad energy, yes my father is no long with us, no I don't wanna talk about anything.
If your father was the type to say things like that then you grew up a great person. And you will be okay.
(big hugs)
oh god i felt the exact same way! we're gonna be okay ♡
I love that the crew loves Brennan’s monologues as much as we do. They laugh off camera when he describes the “sickness at the core of America” lmao
Brennan's slow decline from moral high ground to actually competing for points this game was a highlight for me :)
Winning on top of it for being second was the cherry on top!
I think he wanted to score points too bad
I think if he hadn't accidentally gotten points on the balloon task, he would have kept trying for zero, but as soon as he had points on the board he couldn't stop himself from actually competing.
He protested loudly for the bit I think, but deep down he couldn't help but accept that it actually requires skill and mindgames to properly come second and got embroiled in that, and I love that for him. My favorite move is the curveball with the Trump impression, using Oscar's comedic instinct against him so Oscar would want to continue the trend of making a worse impression, thus having Brennan's own impression come second.
And so Brennan wins another episode of Game Changer...but at what cost?
Brennan COULD win this time but oh man... Sam twisted the very concept of winning. Merciless 😄
A little piece of his soul, I think
Sam: Brennen questioning some life decisions!
Brennan: Not decisions, circumstances.
genuinely i think he'd prefer waterboarding to this
Aahh “dance is a sin” another instant Brennan classic
You can’t tell a switch gets flipped when Brennan got those 3 points cause he started pulling some mind game shit to get second
This cements the absolute conviction that Sam and Brennan are in fact best friends. You can't fuck with someone this effectively without being their closest person.
I mean, I think Brennan’s closest person is probably Izzy, cause they’re married, but definitely Sam and Brennan are best friends
This ep is like brennans kryptonite he figuratively and morally can't win
the amount of edits here most people wont notice>>>
People gonna think that zoom on Brennan with the banana was always there
Ayy rylee in the wild

My favorite moment is Ally going... I'd like to answer the question... And Brennan is just like..... Wait?!
Ally adding in the dance to contrast with Brennan's sincere speech is just *mwah* perfection.
I've seen Brennan go all out to win, and I've seen him go all out to lose out of spite. This is the most creative torture Sam has come up with yet
1:30 - Brennan: "oh feck I forgot that's a viable way to play some of these" - wait, no...
I feel like I watched a man unravel for the whole episode but the fact he also references past episodes that pulled the same shit on him makes it infinitely more funny
The realization of "what's happening is wrong" 😂😂
I have seen the ending clip at least three times now, and it still just CRACKS me up just as much as the first time!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Brennan's final monologue proves that he's going to be a fantastic dad.
Man I SO missed the dynamic of Sam giving Brennan free reign... but at the same time pulling all his strings and the whole chaos of Game Changer 💕😁
There is a quote from 'The traitor Baruh Cormorant' books going "The one with the true power is not the one who can make choices, but the one who creates the conditions under which choices are being made!" I think Game Changer is the perfect illustration of this 😋
People think they make choices. They think they can choose whether to turn left or right, but they didn't build the roads
"People think they make choices - they think they're gonna steer right or left... they didn't build the roads."
I believe this was The Unsleeping City campaign from D20 😊
OH MY GOD TRAITOR BARU CORMORANT REFERENCE. BASED AF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally Brennen one upped “and your gonna get the horns”.
I think Sam was fully prepared for Brennan to finish last, only to declare him the winner for coming in second at coming in second.
I find it genuinely hysterical that Brennan's first sentence in this episode was "SO EXCITED TO BE HERE!" and then he proceeded to have the second worst time of his life
lmao I just love how the end speech has the same vibe as mr rodgers singing "it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood" but for adults in a capitalistic society and i think that's beautiful
If you ask Brennan where he's from, you don't get Cambridge Mass, you get the town from Footloose
I wanna see Brennan on taskmaster. I feel like he intentionally misinterpreted some questions and I don't just mean this episode
Edit: this is American taskmaster
I dunno... I kinda want to see his interaction with Greg defending his interpretation of the prompt
I love how genuinely enthused brennan was for allys answer in question one.
Brennan's "I have been bamboozled." face is iconic.
brennan seems like he has strong feelings about people standing on escalators
There's no need to have strong feelings. There is only one answer worth consideration. You stand on the right. You walk on the left. If the escalator is too narrow for two lanes, you just stand.
@@RainaThrownAway krist novoselic has some questions
My favorite thing about that whole episode was how much Ally just twisted the knife at every chance they got.
“There is nothing wrong with second place. Your best effort is all that anyone is asking for...” Brennan really had me getting emotional. Then his deconstruction of the system brought it back to comedy. Thank you, Brennan, for all of the feelings!
i want my man to talk about me the way brennan talks about izzy
Brennan got second place by being in last place, and he got first place by being in second place
"I'm gonna get him. I'm gonna get Sam!"
i love brennan standing on the podium knowing that everyone wants an angry rant but he figures out he can snatch back agency for himself and claim a moral victory by going wholesome instead 😆
i really so love how brennan went from demanding he would do his best to actually playing for middle
When I first watched this I had to pause on Brennan holding Oscar just to stop and think about how there two people role played one of the most loving relationships I’ve ever seen put to screen. And now Brennan is hugging Oscar’s ankles like a toddler who doesn’t want to go to the park. Wild. Get Dropout, it is worth it!
I just love how Brennan was like "im going to try and win every game the correct way" and still ended up coming second and "winning".
"What's happening is wrong" is the bow to the gift that this episode is.
Is the "pie" just... whipped cream?? Lmaoo
May have been at one point. Looks like it melted since then though.
It was mentioned in the Behind the Scenes that originally they had three real pies, but forgot that Ally had celiac and couldn't have wheat/gluten. So they real quick remade them without any crusts. The pies in the episode are cream and pie filling, we just never saw the pie filling underneath.
One of the top episodes so far
I live for Brennan's monologues
“DANCE IS A SIN. NO NEEEOOOOW.”
The rant at the end is my absolute favorite. Love this guy lol
Oscar trying to dance anyway through Brennan's blatant sabotage, just the perfect bow on an amazing episode
The final monologue is, of course, fantastic, but my favourite part has to be the dancing challenge. Just, Brennan glomping on to Oscar, and Oscar continuing to do his best to do _some_ sort of dance - the whole thing absolutely sends me xD
9:20 “what’s happening is wrong” I felt that in my soul
9:53 this feels like a insurance commercial
9:50 Brennan had the last laugh in the end; his commitment to winning may have earned him the win, but his monologue afterwards earned him the moral high ground.
3:05 is the moment he became Plug, from Plugs Butt Ugly Stuff Hut 😂
That little piano bit before Brennan's speech made my think he was about to do a Rod Stewart impression 🤣
I'm old.
Bless you for this! I may have already watched this episode four times XD. Also:
"Dance is a sin!" Got me howling, and I'm a pagan. Well done
"Winning makes me feel really sad" 😂
Do I have dropout, yes
Have I already watched the video and other clips of this episode on RUclips, yes
Am I still gonna watch this, ofc
The way I actually kinda cried a lil at his speech at the end 🥲🥲🥲
Brennan's "These are gonna slow me down" has become a core tenant of my life
brennan is the perfect human
Me watching Brennan shuck a pie like an oyster: Boy, I hope this doesn't awaken anything in me
amazing when new brennan lore comes out the whole site becomes flooded with the clips and I must watch them all
The face Brennan makes at 1:18 is just amazing
Anytime Brennan starts to give a speech I'm at the edge of my seat. The man knows how to turn a phrase and how to make anything eloquent!
The look on Brennans face when Ally answered the gong question lol. Should have been accepted
whats amazing about the whole episode being about being second best, is that by knowing Brennan would be trying his best no matter what, and would eventually be outdone some times, he would innevitably win this episode. It was all planned from the start.
It very much wasn’t planned from the start for Brennan to win, but it was a happy lil accident
The whole channel in quintessential concept is one giant improvised gag.
The gift of great improv comedians is that they ride waves of chaos with smooth go with the flow grace that they seem more organized and harmonized than actual scripted content which can never plan for all eventualities.
There is no plan at all, except that the plan was before the lights came on they all swear to be ready for anything and make it work.
Brenan stress eating this episode lol
If Hell is real and Brennan some reason went there, I do believe this is exactly what his personalized eternal torment would look like
This is how postal shooters are created guys.
This may be the funniest thing I have ever seen. I wish I could afford dropout! Thanks for posting it.
HE DIDNT WARM UP THE GONG!!
This is like watching chinese water torture. This man is slowly going insane!
I love that every episode of Game Changer that features Brennan as a contestant comes down to, "How deeply can we fuck with Brennan on a personal level?"
Ally took that thought and ran with it
"Sam has created a monument to devilry"
Great edit!
Thank you for the video!
"Im gonna lose so fucking hard"
Oops
"not decisions, circumstances" goes so hard wtf
Sam, as always, wearing the hell out of that suit.
This was suuuch a good episode
I'm not even joking when I say that Brennan in this episode genuinely inspired me to try harder in all aspects of my life. A bizarre fucked up clown festival indeed Mr Mulligan
Dance is a sin truly broke me in a way I cannot describe
...No wait
izzys name in cursive is so scary because in no world would i ever be able to read that
