Them.

you know what i mean, right? please tell me you know what i mean

I wish I had witnessed the technical difficulties in their "citation needed" or "two of these people are lying" days. Allthough I really enjoy what they are doing now, it's on a different more laid back level than those two chaotic series.

I really recommend it to anyone curious about humoristic trivia games. Tom Scott is a pretty good host, both in leading contestants and on his own, but matt grey, chris joel and especially gary brannan are simply too good at derailling any conversation.

highlights include:

the prizes at the end of most episodes of "citation needed" being crazy convoluted wordplays and alliterations

fish tank and people tank

a goose and a train

the chocolate war

a pope infestation

"and the wheel lands on... france"

tom scott awarding points for someone simply paraphrasing what he just said

Gary occasionnal throwing some of the wildest sounds a man can produce with his mouth

the tale of Henricus, the drunkard gaul prophet who came to rome

that time matt stated "I'm telling you, that's not mine" and Tom still went and picked his proposition

gary trapped in an endless giggle fit.

multiple instances of tom crossing off gary's proposition immediately, and being wrong half the time.

"so you think they just transported a flipping corpse to the house of Commons?"

Juan Pujol and Jack Churchill both being grandiose WWII mad lads in their own ways

the whole "hagia Sophia" debacle, from Tom being mocked by the commenters for not knowing it, to the terrible description which almost made me think I was mistaken, to the final twist ending

that one time one of the liers was accidentally closer to the truth than the one who was supposed to have picked the article

Tom being certain an airoport he actually went to didn't exist

Gary being a massive "old timey official documents" nerd, but also the man with the grossest jokes of the crew

on that point, "♪ have you ever seen your granny [...]"

hugging a penguin

"are you done?"

the technical difficulties but gary is replaced by a goose who steadily gets louder throughout the episode

I suppose if I've got this page, I should say what my favorite episode of each Tech Diff format is.

Reverse Trivia: 9: The Tom Has Hiccups Special (yes, despite my name)

Citation Needed: 6x04 - Julie D'Aubigny and Dueling Scars

CN Bonus Material: Gary Doesn't Get Away With It

TOTPAL: The "Two Of These People Are Lying" Christmas Special

Tech Diff Adventures: Tom takes a walk up a hill (I know as a queer person, I should pick Chris Does Drag... but I just love them all ragging on Tom too much)

Miscellaneous Tech Dif Content: Tech Dif Make Ice Cream

Please reblog with your answers because I'm very curious what other people's favorites are!

may i ask about tech dif fic, 15, 18 :-]

For 15... Honestly I feel like this one I think about a) when I'm writing it and b) when I'm watching tech diff stuff and things are a lot funnier in hindsight. I do think a lot about how me deciding Gary had a piss kink was a very impulse decision but now that it's in my head it makes the most sense in the world. Just. The man makes so many urine jokes. So I think about that a lot.

For 18, it's not chapters, per se, because Val and I are doing them as one shots in a collection that we can both add to, not long fics, but I'll be posting them as soon as they're done. I know myself and how quickly I change projects. Maybe I'll write 2 and then I'll get bored, maybe I'll write ten, but if I wait, zero are going to get posted. When the first one, "Matt Gray's Penis," is done? It'll go up. Then "NEAT PISS" is next, and I don't know what I'll call the one after. I know the plot, but I don't have a name.

There are many benefits to being a marine biologist

[ahhfyck]

citation needed but gary is a nervous goose who progressively gets louder and mystery biscuits is replaced by a train horn. notably, nobody is fazed by this

[keyrousse]

I love how it sums up Matt's role in this group pretty well.
