"The Magic School Bus Goes to Hell" was a short film the 10th grade humanities class at my school made nine years ago. It was the only ever successful short film and the only one with surviving footage from the brief period during which they were being made (it took up a lot of class time and the teacher who led that project left to start his own charter school, which... didn't get very far). It was on RUclips until a couple years ago, when the student who posted it (a COWARD) took it down. It is a lost piece of our school's mythos, and embodies how the school's attitude has changed, and not for the better. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
SheddyBear - because women in entertainment aren’t allowed to be anything less than appealing to men at ALL TIMES. On another channel Simone either wouldn’t have been allowed on the video team or she would be harassed into hiding her ‘ugly’ laughter. Her laugh is joyous because it’s genuine and unashamed. She’s not worrying about how she’s viewed when she laughs. The rarity of a laugh like Simone’s is also a large part of why people like it. Hearing it is like breathing when you didn’t notice you were holding your breath.
@@ripnecco5477 It's because the Black Mirror episodes always have super-deep messages, so when a season is finished, the showrunners have zero messages left to send.
It seemed like it was covering up some important bits a couple times though? They looked like they were reacting to absolutely nothing at 5:21 and 16:17.
Brian, I need you to continue FMV quest so I can continue to type "want some rye, course you do" once every blue moon obnoxiously in the comments. Nobody thinks this is funny, not even me, but it is an important, sacred ritual. Only you have the power to set me free, even now the curse of not typing that has begun to work on me; I am begging you please just continue the series, put me out of my mi
Ikr griffin like actively convinced himself not to worry about it he just assumed pat was covered. But honestly the way this game went pat still wouldn't have ended up dating Griffin anyways lol. Plus tara didn't win so i guess it worked out anyways
Man, I always feel bad for people that went to a different church than I for one reason: we didn't have communion wafers, the church would bake their own unleavened honey-wheat bread for communion. It was pretty good.
everyone else was worried about monster factory when the mcelroys left polygon - i was just worried about justin and brian doing fmv quest, and losing the irregular joy it brought to my life.
21:27 Some people at Polygon have obviously never heard of Elias "I Want Another Divorce" Bouchard and it shows. 25:08 Hairy Otter and the Amber of Sea Crits. That's it. That's the single best joke I've made in the past three weeks, I am very proud of myself. Make sure to leave a comment if you disagree (no).
im so intrigued by this is this the only thumbnail they changed or are there others? none of the other jackbox videos changed so is it a mcelroy thing? who did this
@@AlmightyPolarBear i played it once with my friends and it was a lot of fun, i support what another commenter said abt making your usernames inscrutable so nobody knows who anybody is, i think it's probably both ways tho
27:20 I know this! It's now known that in 1972 a gun was been fired in space, it was a modified anti-aircraft gun and the reason was as a test on Salyut-3 before its deorbiting.
Oh my goodness, love the medium awareness, to paraphrase the great people in this video: ''smash the like, but leave a comment if youuu maaad'' I'm not mad guys, your wonderfully honest at least sometimes and it's like a breath of fresh air.
Yeah i would say brian specifically experiences the most radical change in looks over the years, pat's hair changing comes close but i think brian looks exceptionally young only 2 years ago
My friend wrote a work on horror in Grimm's tales, and the figure of the mother or step mother was the biggest cathegory there. Not exactly what you were asking, but still a fun little fact.
I get excited when I see jack box games, because that’s where Arnie used to work before he fell into a portal behind a Burger King in Chicago into the magical world of foon.

Holy crap that sounds so fun-
I have to buy this game just so I can do that now
666th like. That sounds super fun I want this game now
It's the only way to play it tbh lol
Unless ur like me and my friends who’s flirting is already incredibly bold even when we know who everyone is
agreed-my friends and i always play it anonymously, and it ramps the hysterical flirting up through the roof. personal highlight is when a friend used my name and impersonated me for the whole game
Pat not getting a single date the entire game is both sad and deeply relatable
gotta fucking love that profile pic
Spoken like a true lesbian.
But griffin!
as I think Facepalm might have been alluding to... but, but, but... Griffin/Pat match at 5:16 ?
he got One with griffin
“that explains why his first message to me was ‘stay safe out there’”
I SNORTED
I really love his commitment that joke that she would not get
Justin unemotionally saying "That's me. I'm a witch," is the mood for this month.
i love that the one scenario where "the golden state killer was arrested" joke would've worked was in the last lash where nobody actually looked at the prompt.
haha these mackelroy kids are funny polygon should hire them
Kennedy hol up
ecksdee
These kids are fathers, you silly goose!
that spelling error was intentional right
no way, they are the worlds boys.
I love how they all agree that this will be for job interviews not dates, and then IMMEDIATELY get freaky with the sexting.
is that not how you're supposed to apply for jobs? that would explain why the nursing home won't call me back
Tara: that's a real nice moustache you got there
Brian: Thanks but my best trait is audience retention

The layers in "Gay marriage isn't legal in oz" astounds me

Yeah would you

My favorite way to play Monster Seeking Monster is everyone being anonymous so at the end of the game everyone yells out the nicknames of those who have wronged them
playing anonymously is a fantastic idea
Griffin's last answer was just "BOY!" - The most on-brand way to sign off at Polygon.
actually goof troop was the name of the scientist you're thinking of goof troop's monster
*Um AcTuAlLy He DrOpPeD oUt Of CoLlEgE sO hE iSnT a ReAl ScIenTiSt*
The monster calls goof troop father and thus is a goof troop
@@mathybrain8 so I know people are joking around, but everyone who does the whole "Frankenstein's monster" makes me wanna rip my hair out
I'm not at all opposed to the way it seems like Griffin and Justin are still Polygon employees but their only job is to appear in videos and have fun
Do you know what happened to make them leave I never learned
@@AlphaMaleJoey they just got too busy with their other stuff nothing terrible
Daniel Rhymes oooh thanks dude

what fiasco? what happened?
"Brian is Simone's mom" is my favorite part of the Polygon lore canon
brian: gotta keep my role secret
brian, when simone didn't get a date ( 6:44 ): YES!!!!
"My two dads but one of then is also an otter"
I'm assuming the other is a twink.
Actually the other dad is a bear.
A space bear?
i was hoping someone commented this adfsgdhf
the true gay culture is making endless bear/otter/twink jokes at the slightest provocation
Can I have an otter dad?

I still don't understand how Simone's laugh can be both objectively obnoxious and the most adorable joyous outburst that I don't ever want to stop.

I was holding my breath while I was waiting for just the ti
Prettypinkdork She allowed me to stop manually breathing
Simone's 'c'est moi! L'homme invisible! :)' killed me
8:45 “I’m flirting just like I do in real life which is thinly veiled threats” LOLOL
Pats dunk on Black Mirror at 3:50 was so good lmao
Cole I’m too dumb to understand it but I laughed anyway
@@ripnecco5477 It's because the Black Mirror episodes always have super-deep messages, so when a season is finished, the showrunners have zero messages left to send.
I will never get over, "We left the damn space ship up there!" There will just never be anything funnier.
I love how Simone laughs nervously when Griffin mentions the invisible person role at 2:20
every time Pat references nut in space it adds 5 years to my life.
Ya gotta be immortal
simone "the p is in the other answer" de rochefort deserved to win that round solely for that comment
Thank you, Polygon for forcing fan favorite and reclusive cryptid Tara Long into more videos.

"I've run out of messages so now i'm gonna talk with my mouth" ilysm
14:10 PLEASE BRIAN CONTINUE FMV QUEST
no
brian david gilbert how about one fmv themed episode of gill and gilbert?
brian pls
Unrelated but I love your icon, EXID deserves the world
FACECAMS FACECAMS FACECAMS I LOVE IT
nobody appreciated justins “jeezits” at 21:00
Keith U jeezits are another name for communion wafers
"Yeah, we're not gonna play this as a dating game"
The cast: Immediately proceeds to do the exact opposite of that
JUSTIN IS AN UNCONQUERABLE CHAD
i love the face cams!!

you look awfully familiar

this is a noble plea
want shum raahh?? courshe ya douh!!!
this comment, more than any other, makes me wish there was a form of youtube gold (like reddit) i could just deposit on funny jokesters
To this day I still get that stuck in my head on a loop every few weeks or so out of nowhere and I lovehate it
Can we talk about how one of them said “jeez-its” when they were talking about communion wafers and then NONE OF THEM LAUGHED
happens to justin a lot
extremely excited with the introduction of face cams!
I do enjoy how Pat said he wasn’t cursed and Griffin just ignored him. Good job Griffin.
Ikr griffin like actively convinced himself not to worry about it he just assumed pat was covered. But honestly the way this game went pat still wouldn't have ended up dating Griffin anyways lol. Plus tara didn't win so i guess it worked out anyways
26:00 sometimes solely Simone's laugh makes me so happy
They arrested the Golden State Killer Y'all w
wow they got nick back in at 14:40
YOOOOOO LMAO
Damn what a phenomenal burn
Speaking of burning, apparently his apartment went up in flames
That was I N C R E D I B L E.

Griffins tone at 17:45 made my heart melt.
Simone trying to laugh quietly is such a mood, honestly. Loved this good new game!
y'all brian is cute as hell
thank u for this beautiful gift. Also pls Bri bri do more FMV quest with Justunes....

If you nut in space it push you backwards.
Loved this. Griffin geeking out over the ruleset of a "dating" game gave me some Rosebuddies flashbacks
Oh heck, this is why it was so familiar to me.
There is NOTHING that makes me happier than these face cams tbh.
“HHHHHHHH HHHHHHH AAAAHHH HAHAHA HHHHHHHHHHHH” like if you agree
you’re damn right i agree

Of course
polygon was foolish to think i wouldn’t notice them changing the thumbnail on an almost 3-year-old video
im so intrigued by this
is this the only thumbnail they changed or are there others? none of the other jackbox videos changed so is it a mcelroy thing? who did this
RIGHT
i want a full investigation. stop the count.
update: SOME OF THE OTHER JACKBOX THUMBNAILS HAVE CHANGED so this is probably a jackbox thing i guess??
@@daboredghurl omg the plot thickens.... i kno ur reading this polygon i want answers 👇
7:50 "i'm the volcel vampire" PATRICK
YES FACECAMS! Y’all have such infectious joy!
Cameras might be more inconvenient, but damn are they helpful.
Justin McElroy... wearing a beach t-shirt???? Whoda thunk??
He had a case of the mondays
He just wants to live on island time for a day
i said "HELL" for the magic school bus one before the answers came on screen and then when it was there i did a real life spit take
Griffin is so good at explaining things! And it’s so nice to see all of you together ❤️❤️❤️
10:49 Brian dropping the real questions and then Jenna stealing my heart, where can I get the full 3-hour presentation??
My Saturday just got so much better.
this really is the dream team, they're all so funny and they work really well together
MORE MONSTER SEEKING MONSTER PLEASE
a jackbox game to surpass quiplash
I have been wanting to play this one, it is always the one everyone avoids when I play with others. :')

I've watched this video multiple times and today was the first I heard Pat mutter "I'm the volcel vampire" after not picking anyone
And then Brian actually grew a mustache
I watch this every week and it never lets me down. Thanks Polygon.
brian played the mustache character
foreshadowing
I still think this is the best Jackbox game ever made
When my friends and I play, we just use a random letter of the alphabet and not tell each other who we are. It's way more fun that way!
McElroys!!
Pat’s icon when he doesn’t pick anybody and it says rejected is honestly the look of “You player yourself.”
Oh my goodness, love the medium awareness, to paraphrase the great people in this video: ''smash the like, but leave a comment if youuu maaad'' I'm not mad guys, your wonderfully honest at least sometimes and it's like a breath of fresh air.
this was a good last wish of griffins
When I clicked this episode I thought it was monster prom
This is for sure my favorite let's play for Jackbox this is so funny
this video is so old and i forget that because everyone looks so different but the character growth
Yeah i would say brian specifically experiences the most radical change in looks over the years, pat's hair changing comes close but i think brian looks exceptionally young only 2 years ago
Why does Griffin enjoy making a game out of the prisoner's dilemma so much
OH BABY FACECAMS.. WE’RE IN IT NOW DUDES
Monster seeking Monster is my fav jackbox game- my group plays with fake names so its harder to form alliances and keep it incognito
i watched this before i knew who bdg was, and when i saw him it felt like my heart stopped. like... its... its baeby
I’m sad that, for the otter sitcom one, no one thought of ‘My Brother, My Otter and Me’
loved seeing this neat jackbox game and would LOVE Brian to continue FMV Quest PLEASE
Jenna needs to do a fiend zone on moms
ChocolateSnackPack oh yes yes
Did Clayton do this one? Editing level: Godlike!
I would love more of this game, specifically! this is great!
"if you shoot a gun in space does it push you backward?"
nah but if you NUT in space it push you backward
Justin, Griffin and Simone have the greatest laughs. I love it so much.
One of These Things is Not Like the Otter, a sitcom about an otter that got lost and is now trying to fit in to her found family of platypuses.
GRIFFY AND HOOPS ARE BACK IN ACTION
14:36 its tht guy justin played on OK KO lmao
Brian leaning into the camera at 1:19 and biting his lip nearly killed me
thank you guys for uploading this today I just took the sats and was stressed out af, needed a good laugh like these good laughs right here
@jenna i wanna know more about how mothers are a common theme in horror movies
My friend wrote a work on horror in Grimm's tales, and the figure of the mother or step mother was the biggest cathegory there. Not exactly what you were asking, but still a fun little fact.
"Andrew McCarthy" was amazing! Also, "Too many moon bears scaring off astronauts" was seriously underappreciated!
GOD BLESS, I WANTED TO SEE THEM PLAY THIS FOR SO LONG
Im so used to hearing only Griffin's and Justin's voices that seeing their faces is really throwing me off.
I was so excited to get to see everyone's faces in this one. I wish y'all did that more often in these.
I get excited when I see jack box games, because that’s where Arnie used to work before he fell into a portal behind a Burger King in Chicago into the magical world of foon.
Justins smile is the fucking best, i cant help but to smile back
