As an ancient historian myself, I actually know what happened here. The answer to the puzzle was originally Aurum but the maker forgot the answer and had to reset it. He put in gold but it wasn't long enough, as per the password requirements. So he had gold1 for a few years but forgot it again. He tried changing it to aurum but it said 'can't be the same as a previous password' so he tried gold2 but the requirements had now been changed again and needed a special character.
@faolan2174 Watched for years! I got the joy of running a made-up ttrpg oneshot for them recently on their Patreon with Zach Reino and Shannon Barry from this skit! And Dom Fera too!
That speaks to me. Though if I had made it they would have found an ancient scrap of parchment nearby with every successive attempt written down then crossed out.
Lol. I'm not sure why I put an extra 'A' there. Probably combined 'Aurum' with 'Fame!' to get 'Aurum!', which is six characters. My mistake. But since my statement was on what I thought it was at the time, and I thought it was six characters, I'm not going to change it now.
This has the vibe of an old point and click adventure game "puzzle" where the obvious answer doesn't work because they put the real answer in the physical booklet to make sure you didn't pirate the game
@@JP-st9hn I’m honestly not sure if that was the complete intention of doing it, since Metal Gear has basically always relied on meta stuff to progress. I think it was just a cool gimmick that also worked for piracy reasons.
@@Confused_Dog I'm fairly well respected at work so this seems like something from yesteryear until it suddenly pops up again. I just think that next time, C&J should have a man play the character that gets an opinion dismissed. It's too dead-on when it's a woman and it's distracting as hell when I'm trying to enjoy comedy. Cuts way too close to the bone.
The problem with all humanity in a nutshell; They can't admit when they're wrong. If I was ever wrong, I'd definitely admit it. It just hasn't happened yet.
In all seriousness, I had this argument with an ex once. I was wrong about something small, can't even remember what, misremembered a detail in a film or something. Anyway, I owned up to it. Her jaw slammed to the floor as she exclaimed "YOU ADMITTED TO BEING WRONG!?" and I calmly said back "I always admit when I'm wrong, it just happens so rarely that this is the first time you've seen it"
Make all the "clues" be the lyrics to the David Bowie song xD "What you get is no tomorrow, what you need you will have to borrow." *What does it meeaaann?*
@seanmsw5977 that you have to borrow tomorrow A.K.A. you will have to give tomorrow back by making it "today" when tomorrow comes So answer is "today" - the 5 letter word to open the scroll
Later on Pope and the professor learn the real treasure was the friendship they made along the way (and a map to a pile of gold etched inside the codex)
1/3 to the professor, 1/3 to the Church, and 1/3 to the pope (he put in a lot of work on this as well, plus he came up with the password that got the adventurer out of the way so that he and the professor could have some private time to discover the map).
I mean... there is an obvious alternative perspective though: that one might call the guy "Your Holiness" especially(!) at gunpoint. 😅 Or whatever he likes to be called, really.
I love how even thought the pope is apparently evil (?) in this vid, everyone still calls him “your holiness” and he still calls them “my child” and switches easily into being consoling. And the old friend! A true friend, in the end?? Hilariously wrong main character. The poor side kick trying to get a word in. Most wholesome villainous rivals 10/10
This sketch made me realize... why the fuck was the codex in the DaVinci Code set to the English word "apple"? It was created and sealed by Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian man.
@@YEs69th420 the "English" spelling of apple didn't even exist then. It eas treated as a peasant language and even once adopted wholesale, was only standardized in spelling a few hundred years ago (and still continues to diverge in American spelling vs UK/Commonwealth spelling)
I had a similar issue at an Escape room. Thought Id figured out a code, put it in, and it wouldn't open. After we failed, the worker came in and it turned out we did have the right code, but the device was malfunctioning. At least I felt somewhat vindicated for failing.
Coming back to this, hearing the riddle and the proverb again, they actually seem worded to specifically say that the answer _isn't_ gold. Great writing.
Ngl if it hasn’t been in your country for like 500 years stop asking for it back, it’s like moving houses and like 30 years later you ask for a posh lighter you forgot to bring back
@@InestimableFlorivore that’s different, but considering some of the countries frankly it’s safer for the artefact to not give them back (though I seem to remember British museum losing some or smth)
Do they also solve it by trying the “obvious answer” 100 times only to “jiggle it differently” meaning you give up and say they are right? Because that seems to be how it always goes with my groups
Someone needs to write a biography about these ancient puzzlemakers who have access to such advanced technology and the foresight to test future generations on their riddle comprehension.
“We must hide this sacred relic so that no one can every find it” “Cool, so are we just gonna go find a random spot, bury it, and never tell anyone?” “What? No! That is far too boring!”
@FrozenGoblin Fun fact- In the Last Crusade "penitent man kneels before God" scene, there are two saw blades - one at waist height that would bisect anyone who doesn't understand the riddle, and a second vertical one that comes from the floor which would behead anyone who chose the Islamic sujud prayer position. Ancient puzzlemakers were vicious.
I love the way the characters have already been through the story and you just have to accept whatever they say happened and try to piece it together through context. The hologram glasses bit was so funny.
this is the only channel where I deeply smile every time I see a sponsor, it's been a long road and hopefully we're not even halfway, keep creating amazing stuff
These guys sketches always end up being “guy freaks out of his inadequacy and then his friend/enemy gives him a confidence boost into TWIST”. And it’s good every time😂
I know that, even if they are getting like a million views it's still not really enough for the work they make, but I'm happy that they are getting some recognition. These guys are BRILLIANT. No exaggeration. They make some of the most (if not THE most) profound and funniest sketches there are. Hope they get tons more views and will keep us happy by creating these masterpieces even more frequently. So if anyone is reading this, please give them more love, like, share and subscribe to these guys. They are worth your time for sure
If I were to be a treasure maker in an ancient civilization creating a puzzle for millenniums to come I would definitely put Fame! as the answer to everything.
Another great one. Idk how you guys manage to write such good sketches. Being so desensitized by the plethora of content, you're one of the few creators that will always make me burst out laughing.
I'm glad I didn't recognize the voice because it just felt like discovering a fresh comedy sketch channel like doesn't exist anymore. This guy is just impressive through and through and I like that I got the untainted by nostalgia experience to actually really enjoy the channel, y'know?
@@billbill6094 Oooh, yea, I totally get what you mean. Like, coming onto it completely naturally feels awesome. Like, I was showing all my friends and family going "Hey, look at these funny guys!" not even realizing one of them has been one of the most prolific voices of my childhood.

Not only are Chris jack shannon and Zach great actors, but the cgi guy Lane deserves a lot of credit too IMO. I like how the text overlaid is in the “history channel mystery movie” font. I think the work he does is honestly great and a lot better than productions with a far bigger budget. Obviously the CGI doesn’t look peefextly realistic, but it has a feel to it that makes it fit in really seamlessly. Often low budget CGI looks terrible and out of place, but in every single one of these videos the CGI complements the story and feel of the video perfectly. It doesn’t feel like it’s “floating” in the foreground, it feels like it’s an actual part of the video, and I know how hard that is to accomplish. All in all just want to thank all the men and women who act and make these. Whenever a new one comes out it’s the highlight of my morning. They can be serious, but without being boring or ridiculous, and when they’re silly they’re enjoyable and not “cringe”. Often the premise of a sketch is interesting but the performance lets it down or the premise can’t hold up a full five minute video. Often when I watch a short released by a channel and go and watch the full video, it feels like they had one funny idea and it wasn’t enough to hold up a full video. Not with these guys; Every time I watch the short and then go to the full skit, I’m pleasantly surprised by how many funny and entertaining ideas they can get out of a simple premise. Honestly these videos should be used as teaching material for aspiring comic writers. It never feels like they’re desperately trying to milk a funny idea dry (which a lot of sketch channels on RUclips often feel like), rather they have a great idea and just bounce more and more funny and inventive stuff off of it. I rarely leave these videos feeling like it went on for too long and nearly always finish the video wanting more, and that’s the perfect way to do it. A lot of comedy feels preachy or politicised (not even that I disagree with all the political messaging in modern comedy - just that instead of using the story to convey a message they do it in a tactless and overt way; stories are all inherently political to a degree, however nowadays I feel like political messaging is conveyed in a much less nuanced, entertaining and artistic way) and these guys are a refreshing break from that. These guys (men and women) are professionals and I just wanted to say thank you. Really really good stuff and I hope you get the recognition you deserve.
As a student of archeology i love that the artifact is just like a 1cm below the ground level… and for some reason not requiring any documentation before taking it out of it’s archeological context. And digged out without any student free labour lasting at least a month. I mean it kinda looks like early archeology so kinda historically accurate
I forgot that show even existed. Only watched the premiere because the dude from Leverage was in it, can't believe it's kind of old now when I have that memory so fresh.

plot twist: was a puzzle hunt set up by a father, for his son who loves puzzles, and the scroll simply reads "Happy Birthday Son!"
The real treasure was the enemies we made along the way.
I love how even those they're pointing guns at him they work to console him when he breaks down. Thats kind of sweet.
He’s not gonna know what the answer to the puzzle is
Spoilers
Shut up yes he will ☹️
No, it says in the title; he defienetly will know it.
Dude, it's just broken
Every time a new Chris and Jack upload hits my notifications I get so giddy, love you guys!!
3:46 Have you tried... helicopter?
You really should ask riddles you don't know the answer to.
Holy CRAP this made me laugh so hard dude. I’ve watched that skit hundreds of times. You just took me back to 15 years ago, man 😂😂
Too many letters
CHOPPA!
This may be my favourite sketch from you guys. It's so good
4:46 😅 That's me. ...minus the brilliant.
?❔❓
@REDSTONENOOB. (not confident 😔)
I don't see anyone talking about the fact that she saw him die because he swapped her glasses. That's just a beautiful non sequitur.
I love the fact that this sketch is referencing a 20 year old movie 😂
You guys earned my subscription from the first bud I saw but the fact that you safe your ads till the end of your videos puts you in the GOAT category
Nah, the Roman who made it was really hungry and had nothing in the fridge so he just set the password as fame 😂😂😂
I love Zach's hand when he says "I knew it" at the end. A very holy gesture.
I hate Roman fees... 6:12
One of the only channels still doing great sketch content ❤
I’m terrified on how accurate the ad at the end described me perfectly
NordVPN's cryptographic key is always "FAME!".
When the Da Vinci Code takes a pause to solve the riddle and Robert Landon is having a confidence crisis because he can't solve it 😂
Lovely surprise Zach Reino appearance!
It's so funny that the rich old guy has his fancy hidden cane-gun and the pope straight up walks out with a shotgun
1:36 "just simply" located
As a student of archeology i love that the artifact is just like a 1cm below the ground level… and for some reason not requiring any documentation before taking it out of it’s archeological context. And digged out without any student free labour lasting at least a month. I mean it kinda looks like early archeology so kinda historically accurate
Say it with me: you are brilliant.
The RUclips short got my attention, so I watched the whole thing. Very cool!
"I read the dead sea scrolls..." LOL
I'm glad they were culturally sensitive to popes and gave him a realistic pope accent
The new season of the librarians looks excellent 👍
I forgot that show even existed. Only watched the premiere because the dude from Leverage was in it, can't believe it's kind of old now when I have that memory so fresh.
Im imagining ancient romans coming up with “fame!” As a password
Yall are fuckin hilarious!

Your videos are like a brain quiz for, "Can you place Zac and Jess if they aren't singing?" And the answer is YES I just NEED A MINUTE
