GMM 2017: Extreme vs. Original Snacks Taste Test (Axe Throwing Game)

Today we’re feeling axetremely snacky. – Let’s talk about that. (cheerful music) – Good Mythical Summer. – And quick reminder, this is the final week of Good Mythical Summer, which means we’re gonna take a one week break next week, and then we’re gonna be back with season 20. I was like, I lost count. – Well, that can happen. – That will be on September 13th, and that’s of the show Good Mythical Morning. – Yes, the show Good Mythical Morning, season 20. – Yes. – Not only will it be season 20, and not only will we be back to our Monday through Friday schedule, five times a week, but that first week back, we’re calling it a Week of Mega-Cality. – What is that? – We have invented another word! That means that every episode that week is gonna be one of our biggest, most popular GMM formats that y’all love. Why? Because we can! – And as if that is not enough, tomorrow, we’re gonna be streaming live for eight hours straight, and we’re gonna have music, special guests, classic GMM games, and of course a few surprises along the way, and it’s all to benefit the amazing charity, Save the Children, and that’s tomorrow, starting at noon Eastern until eight PM Eastern, or that’s nine AM to five PM Pacific time. – Thank you for clarifying. – Right here on this channel, which is the Good Mythical Morning channel. – Right here, Good Mythical Morning, name of the show and the channel. – Tomorrow. – Now listen, we all like to poke a little fun at Link for being a little bit of a safety hazard around sharp objects. – Why do you say that? – But listen, last time we did this, last time we threw axes in the studio, which incidentally was Link’s idea, you didn’t hurt a single person! – I know, I’m sorry. Give me another chance. – We’re so proud of you, and you know what, we’re so proud that you didn’t hurt anybody that we’re gonna tempt fate, and we’re gonna do it again, we’re gonna throw axes again. Do you think you’re gonna get to get ahold of my golden log? You know I carved my name it, don’t touch it, no, you can’t touch my log unless you win! – I think I can. – Okay, all right, we got a whole new batch of extreme snacks that are just begging to be slashed and gnashed. It’s time for Axe-treme Sn-axe, Extreme Edition Part 2. – Welcome to Ax Alley. – Now you may notice that our targets are a little bit more complicated this time, because that’s what we like to do, we like to make things complicated, because last time two snacks was too easy for us ax throwers. So today we’re gonna be trying four snacks. One snack out of those four will be marketed as extreme, or extra wild in some way, and the other three are just gonna be plain old normal snacks. – You mean axetreme. – Axetreme. – All right, we’re gonna taste ’em, in order to indicate our answer we’re gonna throw to the corresponding bullseye with the colors. You know, there’s a color coordination here. If you land on the correct target, you get the number of points that you land on, if you land on the wrong one, you get that point negative. – You’ll get it, Link. – If you miss everything, negative two points, if you miss every everything, that’s still negative two points, and you get one rethrow, only one. – Yes, we’ve also added axetreme obstacles. Yes, we’re gonna have the opportunity to deploy one of two possible obstacles to obstruct our opponent’s throw whenever we so choose. One of ’em involves baby dolls, that’s why lumbersnack Chase has been holding these baby dolls. Well, one of ’em’s a baby doll, and one of ’em is… – A mannequin. – Like a posable art thing. It represents mannequin, you’ll find out about those later. – Mm-hm. The winner gets to carve his name in the golden log. Hopefully that’s me, I’m axecited, let’s do it. – Unleash the snacks! – Woo! There’s four of these. – Some sort of cracker. I mean that got a lot of flavor. – That is pungent. What flavor is that? – Sour cream? – [Link] It’s not cheese, is it? – [Rhett] It might have some cheese in it. – I don’t even know what to call that, a cheesy cracker. – Man! That’s packed in, too! – [Link] It’s a crunchy, crunchy chip. – [Rhett] This looks like a cheese puff that got cut into slices. – Very crunchy. – It’s intense, too. They’re all so intense! – You guys are trying to fool us hard today. I love all of these snacks. Extreme crunch, extreme flavor across the board. Now that’s a disappointment. – That’s just kind of a regular cheese puff. – Ain’t no way anybody’s gonna be throwing an ax to that. – [Rhett] Man, this one’s really strong, ’cause it’s the first one. – You have the disadvantage of axing first. – Okay. Now, lemme just take a second to acknowledge how tight my pants are. This is what I call- – People are saying right now, what’s new? – No, listen, if you’ve been watching my lower half of my body closely, and I know some of you have, I haven’t worn pants this tight since 2019, and I was told, this morning, Davin said, “Could you put on this shirt and these pants?” To both of us. You’ll understand later why. – I still don’t understand. – It wasn’t unusual at all, because Davin always dresses us. Okay. I don’t wanna overthink this. This was so extreme, it was so extreme, the first one was so extreme but it was the first extreme thing I’ve had this morning. So, but I’m not gonna hold that against it, I’m going for the bullseye on the red. – [Link] Oh, a little high! I’m gonna give you two points for that. – It has contacted with the red. – All right, you better get outta there, homie. Now my thing is, I think this is the most extreme-tasting, the red thing, but what is that, a Triscuit? I just can’t imagine a Triscuit being marketed as extreme. Those words don’t go together. – [Rhett] Do you want me to tell you that it’s not a Triscuit? – [Link] Do you know what the yellow thing is? ‘Cause that’s my answer. – [Rhett] This is a cheese puff. – The yellow log, dude! Do you know what that is? – [Rhett] You said a yellow thing. – Okay, I’m going for the yellow log with the orange stuff on it. – They are really good. – I don’t know what it is, but it’s pretty extreme. – [Rhett] Man, they get better as you eat ’em. (Rhett guffaws) – I ended up agreeing with you by accident. Axcident. – Well, look at us, red buddies. – [Stevie] Okay, guys, one of these snacks promises to have extra crunch with extreme cheddar flavor, and they are the Lay’s Extra Kettle Cooked Extreme Cheddar chips on the blue podium. – [Rhett] Dang, Lay’s. – [Link] Crap. – [Stevie] From left to right, the rest of the snacks are regular Zesty Cheddar Ranch Cheez-It Grooves, not Triscuits. – Oh. – [Stevie] Taco Bell Nacho Cheddar Crisps, and Cheetos White Cheddar Puffs. – [Link] Taco Bell? – [Stevie] Taco Bell. – These are really good. – So I got a negative six, and you got a negative two. – You were axetremely wrong. (Rhett grunts) – We gotta redeem ourselves, oh, is yours that heavy? – Yeah, mine got heavy this time. – Oh, this is gonna be tough. Suckers? – This is gonna be very confusing for us, because they’re different colors from, why didn’t you put the red on the red and the green on the green? – You just touched my sucker, man. That’s yours now. – [Rhett] Thank you. – We were already confused last time. Mm. Apple. – They’re different, though. This is the same brand, this is different brand. – No, it’s just, the stripe goes a different way. I can’t, this is berry, probably. – [Rhett] I’m setting ’em back down. – Purple… what is that? What is that? What is that sucker flavor? – Bite it and see if there’s gum inside. – I can’t tell you what flavor that is. – [Rhett] But you know what? You don’t have to. – And what is this? – You make a lot of sucker noise. – This watermelon? – [Rhett] Okay, I’m in the lead, so I go first again? – Yes, sir. – I actually think these pants help with the leverage. Because when I grip the ground, it’s like having compression pants on. It grips the ground and it throws all the leverage right to your arms. – Your pants grip the ground? – Link, I think it’s the red, because the green tasted the most extreme. I’m going red again. Yeah! – Oh, dang it! Now I’m over here trying to decide, because green is the most pronounced flavor, but I don’t know if I would call it the most extreme. – Why don’t you suck on it some more? – It could be the purple. – Now, listen, if you win the golden log, you can’t be sucking on that. – It could be the purple. – Link, I reserve my rights to unleash a challenge on you. Haha, yes, you forgot about that, didn’t you? – Oh, an obstacle. – And I would like to unleash the baby dolls, whatever that means. Unleash the baby dolls! – Okay, we got the creepy dangling babies. – [Rhett] You like my babies? – Man, I don’t wanna hit none of those babies, ’cause I’m afraid what they might do to me in my sleep. Look at this darkness baby here. – Yeah, and there’s a matching goth baby up there up top. – All right, losing by four, the green sucker on the red platform is definitely the most extreme flavor, but maybe that’s just because it’s sour apple. – Maybe it’s ’cause it was the first one. – I’m gonna go defensive here, that green apple is a strong flavor. – If you cut one of those babies down, like you hit the string and it pops down? I’ll give you a dollar, just on the side. – Oh. Okay. – Just between me and you, side bet dollar. – Okay, here we go. Going for the red. (Rhett guffaws) – Wait, hold, hold, okay. – All right, all right, all right. You lost your points! – Hold on, you hit my ax! – Yes! Right? You lost your points. – No, you can’t just, that’s not how, I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what the official rules are. – I got freaking negative two points, and a second throw. – Okay, but you know what? Because you knocked my ax out, and my ax prevented you from hitting it, I say that’s not negative two, just another throw. So I’m still at six, but now you’re even, you do another throw. – You’re that confident that I’m not gonna come back. That’s fine. All right, second chance of redemption. I gotta go lower than that baby. Which is sending me to the purple sucker on the yellow. – [Rhett] Yeah, let the baby send you. – So you know what? I’m changing my answer. To the yellow bullseye. Ha! Yeah! – Look at that baby spinning! Oh… – All right, Stevie, make my day! – [Stevie] One of these suckers is chock-full of gum and extreme chili powder. They are the strawberry flavored Bubbaloo Xtreme lollipops on the green podium. The rest from left to right are regular green apple Jolly Rancher lollipops, blue raspberry Blow Pops, and wild berry Tootsie Pops. – Wild berry, okay, so we both got negative six on that. – Ooh, liquids! We got some drinks. – [Rhett] Now, look, this is red on red. – Thank you guys for simplifying it. Ooh. What is that? – That tastes like one of those sodas from that company that does all the different sodas that are weird. That’s what it tastes like. Oh! That had a kick at the end. – [Link] That’s nasty, too! – I think it’s not knowing what it is. This can’t be extreme, look, it’s almost like water. – Ooh, that’s sour. – It’s got some sourness to it. – That’s a freaking sour drink. That one’s like, Sunny D with a touch of sweat. – [Stevie] Can I let you guys know what field you’re playing in? ’cause I feel like you’re a little lost. – What field? – Do we look lost? – [Stevie] You’re in a sports field, or a energy field. – Okay, got it. – All right, Rhett, so you’re still in the lead. – I gotta drink ’em all again. – But we’re both big in the negative. You have to go first. And lemme- – I know my answer! – Well, lemme go ahead and tell you my answer. I’m bringing in the mannequins. – Oh, Link! – [Link] Of course. – [Both] Rhett! – Same clothes! – Y’all made me put these tight pants on for this? (crew laughs) – [Stevie] Those pants look looser on the mannequin than they do on you, for sure. – Now you may be tempted to sink an ax into my chest, but that’ll be negative two points, my friend. – Every time I make eye contact with either of us as we come around, it freaks me out. And I’m scared for them. I’m gonna go with the yellow. And also, it’s counterintuitive because it’s clear, and that doesn’t feel very extreme. So I gotta wait for an opening here. Oh, wow, their opening is just a second there. – [Link] Oh, nice throw! – Four on the yellow. Whoa, I made you stop! Oh, look, he’s caught on, yes! This is good, this is what I want. – I’m getting a closer look. – Oh, you don’t have the obstacle. I think you’re- – Can I unsnag it? – I think your wiener is snagged on the ax. – If I had a penny for every time my wiener’s gotten snagged on something, I wouldn’t be here today. – You don’t have to have the obstacle, though, we get to take it down for you. – Oh yeah, take it down. We’ve been removed, my wiener’s been unsnagged. – [Rhett] Yes. – And listen, I do acknowledge that that yellow is quite sour, and unexpected because it’s clear. – But… – [Link] But that red beverage packs quite a polyp. – Red beverage. – I meant to say wallop. Polyp, that’s gross. – Yeah, it’s gonna give you colon cancer. – [Link] So I’m going for the red bullseye. I just think that the yellow’s too obvious. – Okay. Weird. (Rhett yells) – I let go a little soon. – Okay, we got the bounce back. So that’s negative two. – Shoot! I just don’t have my vibe yet. – Yeah, the vibe’s off, your vibe’s off, today, specifically. – My groove is, I’m not in the groove. I do have an ax, so shut the crap up. – Whoa, oh, testy. – You know what? Fine, screw you, I’m changing my answer to yellow. – Okay. – [Link] And I’m getting the bullseye. – [Rhett] That’s not great strategy since I’m, okay. – Oh, okay, I’m going back to red. ‘Cause I gotta… – I mean it might be if it’s the right answer, but… (Rhett guffaws) Hey, he’s changing his answer to yellow! – I was changing my answer to yellow. – Yeah. He changed his answer to yellow. – I definitely did that on purpose. – [Stevie] One of these drinks claims to give extreme energy and laser-like focus for sports and video games alike, and that is the Qhush Red Rush Extreme energy drink on the red podium. – I was right! – [Stevie] The other sports drinks from left to right are Bolt24’s cherry lime flavor, Bang Energy’s Radical Skadattle flavor, and BODYARMOR Sports Drink in pineapple coconut. – I tried to help you, I told you to go for red, I tried. But you got six in the middle. – We have here, oh, it’s an assortment of potentially extreme snacks, starting with… – This could be cat food. – [Link] I thought it was beans, my friend. – You think that’s beans? You see a bean in there? I see a bay leaf. – There’s a leaf in it. It’s not cat food. You don’t put leaves in cat food. – Yeah, ’cause cats don’t know not to eat it, ’cause cats are dumb. – That’s a spicy tuna. But not in a sushi way. Here we’ve got an almond, covered in something. – The most water-intensive crop on Earth. – Oh, good gosh. That’s spicy, too. I don’t know if the tuna’s kicking in… – No, it’s spicy. – Or if it’s free. What is this? Is this a bagel piece? Bagel bite? – This is some kind of assorted, this is really good. – That’s not as spicy as the previous two. Then you got a pickle. – Let’s make a dip. – That’s a big pickle. We didn’t have to make eye contact. But we did. Okay, is that spicy too? I honestly can’t tell. – Spicy and sour. They all have something that would lend it to the idea of it being extreme. But here’s the deal, Neal. – No obstacles at play. – You’re down by eight right now. It would be stupid for me to try to go on a bullseye of any kind, because then all you gotta do is get the right answer and you win. – [Link] I think it would be cowardly. – I’m forcing you to go for a 10 point lemur’s eye, Davin said we’re calling it a lemur’s eye. – [Link] Bullseye in the middle, lemur’s eye on the corner. – I’m going for one point, if I can stay on line. I mean it’s not a sure thing. – What is your answer? – My answer is, I’m just gonna go for one. – [Link] Which one? There’s four. – I’m not gonna give you any… – Oh, you’re not. – Oh, okay, I’m wrong, so I got either two or negative two. – I agree with you that it is one of these two, so I didn’t really learn anything between red and blue. I think that these nuts are pretty freaking extreme, but tuna is something that’s not typically extreme, but would you market it as extreme? – Extreme tuna. Yeah, doesn’t do it for me. – [Link] I think it has to be the nuts, ’cause I mean, these are freaking spicy. – [Rhett] Extreme nuts. Yeah. – I mean, they are so spicy. I’m going for six. Come on, blue bullseye. – [Both] Oh! – [Link] A little too high, four points. – [Stevie] One of these snacks promises a love/heat relationship, and extreme heat, that is the Blue Diamond Extreme Carolina Reaper almonds on the blue podium. The other snacks from left to right are Century Hot and Spicy tuna, Snyder’s Hot Buffalo Wing pretzel pieces, and Van Holten’s Spicy Pickle-in-a-Pouch. – Pickle-in-a-Pouch. Well, I guess I gotta get that log again. – Bring in the log. Let him carve it in Good Mythical More. All right, you earned it. But man, I gave you a run for your money, and your polyps. – You gave me a run for my nuts. – All right, don’t forget, we’ve got our livestream benefiting Save the Children tomorrow, starting at nine AM Pacific, noon Eastern. – Be there!
