Adam, do they sell copies without the sexy animal question cards or will I just have to rip those up after I have bought the game!
@@johnloper4469 Neither! Howl into the abyss as you face your repressed memories of that burlesque dance number in The Great Mouse Detective!
whats the online format that you used to play here?
Laurie: “it’s definitely mostly a happy film
Jon: “ is it though?”
I was not expecting what came next
What I learned from this episode is that Tom and Laurie almost always know what they're talking about, but Jon and Adam talk more, so no one listens to Tom and Laurie.
Agreed 👌
What I learned this episode is that they're all furries and we're also all furries
Worth noting that a mukbang wasn't originally people eating ludicrous amounts of food, it started as a Korean trend where you would record or stream yourself chatting over dinner, basically like an irl stream. As I recall, it was excellent for people in Korea who didn't have anyone to share dinner with, helped a lot of people with loneliness and stuff.
Then the internet got hold of it...
Oh no, the original idea sounds so fun to watch while eating!!
@@brookepearson Right? It's a little parasocial-y but it's a cute thing rather than an over indulgence gross out thing.
To put Jon's argument of Crowded house selling over 10 million albums over the years in perspective. Vanilla Ice sold over 15 million of one album.
LAURIE: THANK YOU!!!
Necro: Yes, but to put that inter perspective, Hitler won a popular election, so....
Ice never pulled a crowd of 160,000 for one gig!
How many sold out arena shows over 4 decades does it take to be considered icons
@@shannonrussell898 This is the first time i've ever heard of a band named crowed house. i've never heard any of the songs they've talked about. but i sure as hell remember Vanilla Ice, his song being used for TV ad's, and his lawsuit. I also just went around and asked my coworkers if they've ever heard of crowded house, and most of them went "was that some kind of old tv sitcom?" and one person knew them, sorta. So it seems to me like Vanilla Ice, the most one hit wonder guy ever, is more of a pop Icon in terms of fame than crowded house ever will be.
Having said that, you could sell more copies of a single song than every other song ever sold put together, but if that is all you ever sold ever of your music, that still makes you a one hit wonder.
It's fascinating that in a game where which animals are sexiest was discussed, the strangest thing we learned was Jon Gracey's undying love of Crowded House.
WAVELENGTH 2 AKA The one where half the roster of No Rolls Barred outs themselves as furries
Oli must be furious....that he wasn't included
Or the whole in-person roster plus two more people
The thing that blows my mind about this episode is like, if you’re saying Nala is low down on the sexy scale because you don’t want to admit to an attraction to cartoon animals, then surely all you’re doing is implying the existence of much sexier animals further up the scale? Nala, Lola Bunny etc al should be way on the right, because if they aren’t then I’m going to want to know who/what is, as far as Jon is concerned. Am I crazy?
Totally agree
I assume he placed her there because shes not human-shaped. Maybe he'd put Lola or Robin Hood Higher, and the highest part of the scale would be like...characters created specifically for adult entertainment
I mean someone said that he likes insects/insect like things more. So that would explain it
Jon did ruin a lot of the game 😂😂😂
@@gameboy-nq7je they were making a joke about bugs life...
"I'm embarrassed about Gandalf and duck dicks is getting my mind off of it." Haha great stuff from Blair. 😂
Can we get a shirt of Tom looking majestically into the distance when he needs to look away?
It looks like he's having a deep internal crisis over his emerging emotions while gazing outside
There's more emotion in a Tom look than I got from my ex-girlfriend
@@chrisseddon5823 Same, doesn't matter which one
I dunno what I was expecting but a ten minute analysis of A Bug's Life definitely wasn't it
I think everyone needs a Sully level of whimsy and terror in their life. And if it takes giving that beautiful man a key to my house, then so be it!
You say that until you wake up in the middle of the night with Sully leaning over you, just staring. 😂
Lol Jon’s rant about bugs life was a great way to open this
As a New Zealander, I absolutely adore Jon being so ardent about Crowded House, feeling very represented
These other clowns have no idea!
It is quite depressing hearing people say they've never heard of them, so many bangers
I remember Crowded House's "Best of..." album being advertised as "You know more Crowded House songs than you think."
They were certainly right.
I'd love to know how the Finn brothers would react to Jon's passionate defence of them as pop icons... and where they'd place themselves on the wheel! Not sure I want to bother getting a twitter account just to do that though...
As an old Aussie, Crowded House being called a 1 hit wonder (even as a 1-hit album band) is astounding.
Huge band here, massive farewell tour, they're pop icons.
So interesting to find out it's not universal.
@@mikewicked That would probably make an interesting youtube series actually - the biggest band/act in a country unknown virtually anywhere else. With how far US acts spread, I'd suspect their entry would be some kind of country star where the appeal is much more provincial.
@@ishoottheyscore8970 imagine if your one band was the cheeky girls though. Best not to do the video
I think Blair nailed Gandalf - although he is known as Gandalf the wise, he also knows practically everything about fallen kingdoms, and cultures, and about the smaller races. He was trying to manoeuvre people in to opposing Sauron which takes a mixture of both
Exactly! The point is that the scale is between wisdom and *intelligence,* not stupidity. Gandalf is incredibly wise, but is still very intelligent.
I literally said Gandalf before she did. Honestly though that’s just a terrible scale to try to gage. Wise and intelligent are almost synonymous
@@nightripper799 For sure those two are the hardest D&D stats to try and explain the major differences between, at least for me. That's been true since I was a kid in the 90s.
Yeah, given the scale all the way wise I would put sam, very wise but not book smart at all, and all the way intelligent I would put Saruman, probably even smarter than Gandalf but not nearly as wise
@@renevarr I mean, that's fair, intelligent but not wise is someone whose schemes lead to their downfall... I just didn't think other LoTR characters.
6:01 an underrated line from this episode is Tom saying "people like jokes, right?"
You know it's an old video when it's about sexy animals, Sully is there and horses aren't mentioned
I was literally waiting for someone to mention the horses thing and then I realized how old the video was
I love Crowded House but Jon is the president of the fan club, like ARMY level of fandom hahahaha So great.
I JUST THINK THEY'RE REALLY GOOD OK
I like the idea that BGC has now dabbled in the topic of uncomfortably sexy Disney animals.
I was certain at least 1 person would lobby for either Lady or Tramp since they like it ruff
Dude Shere Khan from jungle boy is legit sexy. His voice sounds like he's Severus Snape's father with more charisma.
Watching laurie play this game is like watching him play blood on the clocktower. He is always right and no one listens to him.
"I'm embarrased about Gandalf and duck dicks is what's getting my mind off of it."
- NRB out of context
And that together with Adam's very enthusiastic insistence that Nala is the most f**kable Disney character makes this week's hopes of "nice family-friendly" entertainment dive straight out the window - and I am absolutely loving every second of it!
On a more serious note, love the icon update.
I reckon the hopes of family friendly content were dashed the second you saw the thumbnail.
I'm upset that I've slept on NRB this long, but overjoyed at how much more there is to enjoy!
I forgot about British currency and thought they were talking about a really heavy wine bottle
Me too! I thought it was the weight of one of those bigger bottles. Then I felt weird not knowing their exact weight as I may or may not buy those all of the time...
I'm Scottish & I was scratching my head too 🤣
I mean, shipping rate is based on weight
Blair was completely right. Gandalf is perhaps more wise, but he has vast knowledge of basically everything, especially because of his wide travel. Sam is a perfect example of wisdom over intelligence, he might not know about much outside of the Shire, but he is certainly wise, for instance towards the end when they are in Mordor he says to Frodo, “But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.” I mean just look up any list of his quotes and there may not be deep knowledge about Ents and their ways, but there is certainly wisdom. I would say that on the other side is Saruman, he is supremely intelligent, creating things that are just about never seen in any of the other kingdoms of Middle Earth, Isengard is almost in its own technological era, but as Treebeard says about him, "He has a mind of metal and wheels, and cares little for living things." Many misinterpret this as Tolkien just hating on modern technology, a trait of CS Lewis falsely ascribed to him by many, but really what it shows is Saruman's lack of wisdom, wisdom to tell what is right, wisdom not to use the Palantir, to not be so egotistical as to think he could wield the one ring. Also as a side note, while DnD was based on LOTR, it was created after and has moved away from it into a more general system not explicitly based of off one thing, so DnD stats aren't really relevant.
100% agree with Blair's assessment of Gandalf vis a vis wise-intelligent but her referencing Sam's name as a factor in why she considereded him full wise...
Sam is a modifier of wise, meaning half. His name means "half wise" or "half wit" because he was thought of as a very simple person. not saying he isn't wise in actuality but his name quite literally means the opposite 🥲
Sully taking shots at Crowded House?
HEEL TURN CONFIRMED
I know it’s been a year since this came out and you commented but I’ve just watched it now and had to vehemently agree with your heel turn.
I actually gasped when he said Crowded House aren’t very good.
Agreed, lost a tiny bit of respect for sullivan there, sorry sully
The Crowded House sequence is an emotional roller coaster 🎢 I'm 100% with Jon and then Tom knocks everything to bits with his well thought out rational points.
Finally someone else who doesn’t like onions! The problem is I like the aroma of onions but hate biting into a piece. I’d love to be able to cook food with onions and then take them out. It’s the worst in stews and sauces, I hate the texture that’s sort of soft but also crunchy, I’m ok with raw onions on something like a burger but also not a bunch. I used to never eat them but I’m learning to like them a bit more.
'What's more sexy than Nala?'
C'mon Adam, we all had a crush on Lola Bunny...
Blair and Sully on the same team? The ultimate fan favourite team ever.
Brooke and Sully...a couple? Are you both evil? Congratulations, lovely duo. As always Adam...Great content!
"Nala is the quintessential fuckable Disney character" broke me!
I think that question broke everybody! It started at duck penises and degenerated...
I will forever hold that nice gentleman in high esteem for defending Crowded House’s honor.
From one nice gentleman to another *raises glass of fine scotch*
I am 21 minutes into this.
This goes places I never expected any boardgame club to go. Everybody has learned things today. Things they can not unlearn.
After singing werewolf bar mitzva and giving Crowded House the praise they deserve Jon is now my favourite member of BGC
YES VINCE! A MAN OF TASTE AND ELEGANCE!
Jon's definitely up there in my favourites but there're folk like Carley, Tom, Blair, Brooke, Sully and Rosie, not to mention all the others milling about 🤣 it's just a smorgasbord of awesome individuals
Tom asking about a NRB mukbang is my new favorite moment on this channel
Also, Team B with the comeback of the century
Literally for the wise vs intelligent I thought “I think gandalf would be a good guess”, seems like her and I are on the same wavelength lol.
Adam casually dropping Hamilton bars during the intro will never not be entertaining, nor his love for Beyonce lion or Blair's duck dick quips.
Also, the delivery of Sully's "I'll tell you what, I've never fuckin' heard of Crowded House in my while damn life," had me bloody crying.
Great vid all around. Everyone in this was hilarious.
I remember another episode where Jon brought up "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins, and nobody knew it!
On the good/bad mouthfeel one brooke just blatantly doesnt look away
Guess she was the evil one after all
Glad someone else noticed, she didn't close her eyes for a good few seconds there
I noticed it too but she didn’t contribute when her team chose to go left or right so it didn’t matter
Every episode Debra's like... what has Blair dragged me into lol
Honestly, had Adam never named those two songs I never would've had a clue who Crowded House were. And I'm Australian, I normally know these bands that are one hit wonders outside of Australia.
What does Tom see looking out of his window?
I hope the woods, but would accept his own mental image of a nice view while staring at the cityscape.
Who makes the song in all the BGC intros? Massive Props to them!!!
I don't have the answer but I found out during the 10 hour steam that the song in the intro and the outro are the same song. Super catchy song.
The name of the song is Reality by AGST
@@justincassee8233 Thank you so much
@@staplegun4995 np 👊
Crowded House are so very iconic in Australia. I can't even imagine how they're treated in New Zealand - I think it's the Finn brothers and Dave Dobbyn on their currency. I love them, but it's not even a preference: they are given genius awards, they have OBE's, they have commemorative stamps, and they have tribute albums released about them. Every one of their seven albums (from 1986 to 2021) have gone number one. So iconic.
Was Rosie excluded from Wavelength because you don't want to dig too deep in that particular mind?...
No, she's doing the online course. Mandated by HR after the... incident.
This game rules! Played it for the first time today with a group and was a blast! Fortunately no sexy animals were discussed! Thanks for all your awesome work in sharing great games to the world!
In Blair's defense, it's Saruman who was more known with the title "the Wise" than Gandalf. Gandalf is rarely given the title and acquired it more or less retroactively.
Brooke’s fried crumpet is absolutely good cooking. Frying breadstuffs on a griddle or in a pan is fantastic, especially for breakfast. It’s basically a tastier version of butter on toast, great for a sandwich or served with eggs and bacon
Totally agree with Blair here. Wisdom and intelligence are not opposites, so the middle of that scale is someone who is equally wise as intelligent. Being renowned for wisdom does not preclude intelligence.
I kind of want a No Rolls Barred Reddit, there would probably be a lot of hilarious memes of sully 😂
Jon thinking he was old realizing he was 13 when a bug's life came out makes we feel even older as I was 15.
I was in my early 20s and on my third kid when A Bug's Life opened.
I was about 13 when I became a fan of PIXAR... Because Channel 4 showed Luxo Jr and Knick-Knack on one of their random late night programs, well before Toy Story was even thought about, so Jon made me feel really old!
I was 2!
@@charlesfluit8022 ffs
I was today years old when I discovered the song "Don't Dream it's Over" was originally sung by Crowded House, a band I never heard of before, and not Sixpence None the Richer.
And Nala's alright, but let's not forget the real sexy lion: Kovu.
Gotta back Tom on the whole onion chat. I'm a tad fussy with food and especially at restaurants you've got to be 100% clear with what you want exactly otherwise they will stuff it up.
i've never argued back so vehemently at someone on a screen than i have at jon's crowded house argument bahhahhaa we love him though
As much as I love these party games, I think it would be really fun to see games with more mechanical depth here at board game club- Saboteur and Secret Hitler are some of my favorites in this series, precisely because those games were themselves as interesting as the people playing them. Love you all, keep up the good work!
Part of that is pandemic related though, it's not like they can get together and play many games properly, and it may not be easy to follow a game on BoardGameArena. I'd love for them to play Colt Express, Potion Explosion, Stone Age, and Downforce on there though
ADAM: Yup, we'll absolutely be expanding our range of games into more strategic ones when we're sorted how we're going to film BGCs in person. We have a (very exciting) plan in motion on that front, but no spoilers for now...
@@NoRollsBarred I hope you still include occasional plays in this format. It's hopefully never going to be the norm, but it's quite a good way to enjoy the company of other people that we otherwise can't get to.
BTW, did you see someone has done an online emulator for Resistance Avalon? It looks quite pretty, though not sure how legal it is...
I'm going back and watching old videos and omg Tom absolutely has my heart! His opinions about onions are spot on lol
I can't believe it took this many episodes of BGC for Phrasing to make its debut and Rosie wasn't even responsible...
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but you can center the needle by clicking the big button in the middle of the dial, that way you don't have to "wind it back" every time. Learned that by playing with this emulator with my own friends! We played to see how many points we could get in however many cycles of who's giving the clue instead of teams since it's just as fun to use as a way to have fun conversations about stuff.
This episode raised so many questions, and answered practically none... I will say though, Tom's Onion Problem is a real thing that I don't personally have since I adore onions, but I know several people who dislike cooked onions. Thankfully, a lot of meals can survive without them as the first step!
"Maybe not as flavorful as, like, vomit"
God, the animal round really went off the rails
Me: The BGC crew really can't make me love them any more than I already do...surely
BGC: Here are some Community references...!!
Blair has a solid grasp on the LotR characters, and she got shamed for it from people less fluent in that story than she is. What a damn shame. Her assessment of Gandalf and Samwise was bang on.
Guys, Blair is right. Sam IS the wise one- Gandalf is wise AND intelligent.
I'm not sure Sam is that wise, at least until he gets near the end of the book, he doesn't even have the farming wisdom of his father. Curious where his dad and Tom Bombadil would sit along the scale
Sam is quintessentially wise, in that he has a lot of emotional intelligence but is as dumb as a box of cat piss. Sheldon would be all the way in the right, for example, and then all the way on the left you have your Peter Sellers from Being There. Sam is just a notch or two below that. Gandalf is a mixture of both book learning’ and emotional intelligence, so he’s much closer to the centre.
Sam is not very wise. in fact, he would have been a good answer because he is only slightly wise, and not very intelligent.
To sum up, book smart means intelligent, street smart means wise. Gandalf indeed is both but a better example would've probably been Dumbledore
Best episode ever...just goes to show how subjective this game is.
Aww, poor old Jon.Virtual hug.
You know you have been in America to long when they say £16 bottle of wine and you think 16lbs bottle of wine. To VERY different things!
I legit thought of Gandalf as being exactly where it was before Blair said it.
43:58 I just want to point out that while everyone is talking about Woodface, worth pointing out that their best selling album was actually their debut which is where they charted best in the US (sold over a million copies there alone), and where Don't Dream It's Over and Something So Strong came from. I don't know whether there was just confusion about what is actually on Woodface, and obviously a lot depends on what country you're listening from.
Side note, for some reason Temple of Low Men never did that well in the UK, even though it arguably in Australia houses some of their most iconic tunes (Better Be Home Soon and Into Temptation, for eg.)
Appreciate the Hamilton reference as the number one rule of board game club 👍
Adam referenced DnD and I came to the realization that a NRB campaign would be incredible.
They did one on parts funknown with Tom as dm but that only included the Wrestletalk guys as competitors. They’ve said that they’re gonna do another season when it’s all safe for them to do it in person so hopefully soon!
Yeah I watched that. I just want a classic episodic DnD campaign with Adam/ Blair/Jon/Sully/Rosie? With special recurring guests
I would absolutely watch NRBD&D, or indeed any similar series. BotCT makes me think they'd work well with World of Darkness
There's a lot of denial going on in this episode folks, the Kirk/Harkness test applies and y'all know it. All joking aside, very fun episode to watch guys, thank you very much.
it was somehow super horrifying listening to the thing about nala being sexy while my cat (named nala) was cuddling with me
As an Australian, re Crowded House, in Australia and NZ they would absolutely be a large degree to the right. UK and US you can argue the other way, iirc Don't Dream It's Over and Something So Strong are their only songs that actually did really well in both the US and UK. Those two hits were both off their debut album and were about as far as they ever truly got chart wise in the US..On the flip side, over 30-40 years they have had 12 songs in the UK top 40, and have a healthy touring calendar in Australia, NZ and the UK in particular (I think they have something like two weeks of dates including Isle of Wight festival this year booked just for UK and ireland dates).
The dichotomy of this question is kinda off for that band though, because one hit wonder kinda implies they did one big song and then disappeared. If you take out the US market (where they still had two big singles), they easily had an album's worth of material that a large number of people contemporary to when the various eras were released would recognise, and are definitely pop icons in their countries of origin. They probably weren't a good clue for that reason.
Every thing changed after Adam talk about ‘11 years friendship and Relationship’. Oh adam😅😅
Well I guess we know why Brooke knew Sully was evil in the last BotC game
The number of champions grow! By my reckoning we now have Blair, Brooke, Sully, Debra, Luke (from ten hour stream) and ISA (BOTC 2) all as defending champions!
I've only seen season one of Community so I was totally in tune with Debra about Troy.
This video promises a “No Rolls Barred Mukbang” at 100k. We’ve surpassed that so it’s time.
I HATE ONIONS
Don't worry Tom
You're not alone
Oh boy, this will be uncontroversial I wager
How does Tom feel about Brooke and Sully? How does that affect Sullytom?
Time for another Good Friday lunch with my favorite board game channel 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
The onion discussion was weird to me. Onions cooked in butter would be like 80% to the good side for me. Theres a reason that so many dishes in so many cultures start with cooking onions....theyre bloody delicious
11:25 I totally get what Brooke means. It's like the Simpsons episode where Homer and Apu travel to the original Kwik-E-Mart somewhere in the Himalayas to ask him three questions.
Blair nailed Gandalf, im sorry. He carries basically the entire plot of the series. Almost every victory within is at his behest; not necessarily his own wins, but he fuels people in the right direction with his wisdom *and* intelligence
Going to bed singing a bad 4 line medley of 'Crowded house' bangers. Thanks Jon...
Hell yeah!
That was easily my favourite 'Rule of Board Game Club' intro
I love that everyone covers their eyes and tom just looks outside
There was definitely a moment there where I forgot these people were brits and thought they meant a 16lb bottle of wine, not £16. Which, frankly, sounds like too much wine, that's like 7L, that's a massive bottle.
50:45 Adam just happens to rest the pointer on the minus button, no communication though 😂
Gandalf the Grey, Saruman the Wise. I'd have gone with Merlin from Disney's Sword and the Stone
Funnily enough, Blair, Samwise the name supposedly means roughly "half-wise". So his name is actually "halfwit".
Jon mentioned Ratatouille and I am forever his minion. Best Disney Pixar film ever.
John's my favourite
you thought you could sneak that hamilton reference past me adam you sneaky sneak
1 o’clock on Friday. I reckon it’s time to spend my lunch break well
I literally grabbed lunch for the video lol
Great band name inspired by Team B: Sully and the North Americans.
Did they ever do a mukbang?
Does Adam have a p.o. box to send him Nala dolls?
Also where is the love for Roxanne from the goofy movie?
