GMW 7: Playing The Stupidest Games From the 1950’s

While Rhett and Link are away, – [All] The Mythical Crew will play! (bell ringing) (fluid drips) (glass breaking) (crowd cheering) – [Stevie] Good Mythical Weekend. I’m Stevie, and today, we’re playing Grandma’s Games. Before we begin, let’s meet this week’s mythical crew players. Please introduce yourselves, and tell me who’s your favorite boss? – Hi, I’m Jordan, and my favorite boss is Bruce Springsteen. (Davin laughs) – Hi, I am Davin, and my favorite boss is Chase. – Oh, thanks. Hi, I am Chase, and between Rhett and Link, it’s definitely Stevie. (Davin laughs) – Hi, I am Mikayla, and my favorite boss is Ian and Anthony from Smosh. (group chuckles) – Trevor, Rhett. (group chuckles) – Jenna, I should not say. (group chuckles) – [Stevie] Okay, here’s how today’s gonna work. We recently unearthed the book of games from the 1950s, that had been lost to time, called “The Encyclopedia Of Games.” Look at that book modeling, Mikayla. I love it. And it’s filled with strange ways to stay entertained in a world without the internet, cell phones or video games. Totally gangbusters! We’ve picked three games from the book for you to compete in. The winning team will win a collection of nifty things, invented in the 1950s. The other team gets nothing, you bunch of squares. Come on, snakes, let’s rattle! Flip your lids, have a ball. Last one’s a wet rag, which means get ready to play. – Woo! – Okay. – Yes! (gentle music) – [Stevie] Okay, gang, our first game is called Balloon Throw, and you’ll never guess how it’s played. Players will step up to the line, one at a time, and throw their balloon as far as they can. Each player will get to go twice. The player who can throw their balloon the furthest wins the round for their team. And referee KG will help keep track of the tossing. But first, some rules. (Trevor gasps) There will be no volleyball-style hitting. You can use two hands if you’d like. You cannot cross the starting line when throwing, and the measurement will be noted on the floor where the balloon hits first. So, no, like, balloon-roll situation will be allowed. Are you ready? – Yes. – Yes, very. – Okay. – Let’s do it. – Threw out all my methods I was gonna go with, but okay, we got this. – Okay. – Are you ready for this, Mikayla? – Let’s go. – Don’t got it– – No, shh. – I think I did. – Mikayla, I’m giving you the pressure from here. Oh, whoa! – Okay. – That was behind where the line was. – All right, hey. – It was right– – We made it. Make it farther. – Okay. – You did it, you did it. – You bet. – You did it, you did it. – Go straight, next time. – So, I’m a pitcher on my kickball team, so– – Okay, brag. – This is not a kickball though. I don’t think it’s– – That’s gonna help you. – I think it will help. – Do you play with a balloon? – I believe I can go further than that. – Do you pitch with your hands or do you pitch with your feet? – I pitch with– – Confidence here. – You kick with her feet, Chase, you pitch with your hand. – Okay. – I guess not. – Wow. – Yeah, I guess, it’s a tiny bit further. – Okay, okay. Well– – Yeah! – Guys, the balloon is not kickball. – I forgot you’re on my team. (group chuckles) – I’m gonna do slightly different method. I’m gonna push it, I’m a blow it. – [All] Ooh. – Ooh, thank you, thank you. – Get a big lung full. – Thank you. (Jenna blows) – Okay. – Oh! (group chuckling) – There’s an invisible wall. – It looks so dramatic. – It was like the air is going against us. – There is a vent right there. – There’s an invisible wall. – Come on, Chase, you got this, you got this, Chase. – Okay, I’m gonna chose them one of these. – What method are you going with? You’re going with a football method? – Yeah. – Okay. He just wants to show his butt off. – Right. – Here we go. – Hike. (balloon plops) (group chuckles) – Wow! – Okay. – Okay, all right, hiking? – Good job, good job, good job. – It works, that works. – I think I see, oh, I was gonna high-five you, but you’re not on my team. – Okay, Trevor. – There’s not been enough aggression. I’m gonna get, watch out. (group chuckles) – Okay. – You’re gonna discus throw. Okay. – I hope he makes it. Oh– – Yes! – [Group] Ooh! – Trevor! (group applauding) – All right. – Thank you. – That’s impressive. – Thank you. – That’s really impressive. – I knocked my– – Okay. – No! – I don’t even wanna go again. – Jordan, I feel like you got to like do what Trevor’s doing. – Well, okay, I have one more chance, so, I wanna try a different technique, that I don’t know if it’s gonna work, but you can learn from me. (Davin chuckles) – Houch! Uh-oh. – Oh, oh, oh, oh. – I don’t know– – Low center of gravity. – Yeah, yeah. (group chuckles) – Listen. – That’s so quick. – There’s no judgment in brainstorming. – Yeah, no judgment. (group chuckling) No judgment. – Using your brain. – Women get to do that. – I like the speed. It was a speed game. – Yes. – Okay, I don’t really have a method. I’m just gonna… Woo! – Nice. (Jenna chuckles) – Whoa. – Yeah, I feel like– – Yeah, okay. – I feel like we can take it a little easy now. I’m just like, Trevor did all the work. – I’m kind of learning from Trevor here. Trevor is tall. Trevor got like the force of going. – I’ll see what I can do. – So, I’m gonna try to do this without hitting the slide here. – No. – Okay. – Do not pop it on that light. – I know, I’m scared of hitting it. – If you pop it, you lose. (group chuckling) – You went over it. It doesn’t even count. – [Davin] I didn’t make it. I didn’t make it. – No, okay. Yeah, I feel like Trevor did all the work, so, but I do like his method, so, maybe we could do like a spin. – [Mikayla] Where you spin and blow. – Spin and blow. – Spin and blow. (group chuckling) – Stevie, it’s that legal, spin and blow? – Ooh. (Mikayla chuckles) – Ready. (balloon whooshes) – [All] Oh! (Jenna chuckles) – Solid. – Did you like the sound effect, where I was like– – I did. – The whoosh? – That was really good. It added some razzle-dazzle. – Oh my gosh. – Almost threw it down– – Come on, Chase. We got this, Chase. – Son’s going for the bowling. – Come on, Chase. – He’s gonna bowl. Oh, he’s gonna go from back there. – Goodness. (Chase grunts) (Chase blowing) – Blow it! Blow it hard, Chase! (group chuckling) – Are you gonna try beat it? – Yeah, I’m gonna try and beat it, are you kidding me? – Trevor, yeah! Let’s go. – Trevor. – I’m gonna go for a different method though. – Uh-oh. – Oh goodness. (balloon thuds) – Oh my gosh. – Come on! – Let’s go! – Yeah! – Trevor, what the heck? – Good job! – Thank you. – [Stevie] Okay, no pressure, Jordan. But it all comes down to this. – Jordan, you got this, Jordan. – All right, okay, all right. I’m looking where I want it to go. You know how they say, “Don’t look somewhere you’re not driving, “if you’re driving, ’cause you’ll drive into it.” That’s what I’m doing, but I wanna drive into it. (group chuckling) – Jordan, hold on, I think you got that backwards. (group chuckling) – No. It all makes sense, hold on, everybody, hold on, okay. – Don’t distract her. – Okay. – I don’t know why I’m telling you not to distract, we could– – Ah! (group applauding) – Okay. – It’s all right. – [Stevie] Okay, well, it looks like this one goes to the Purple Team. And Trevor, (bell chimes) that’s a new hidden talent, my man. That’s impressive. – Thank you. (gentle bright music) This next game is called History Revisited. To play, teams will be given a list of historical moments or events, and will talk amongst themselves to choose which one they will silently reenact. Then our guesser, Jordan Morris, will have 30 seconds to guess what that event is. And he only gets three guesses. Teams will take turns. Each correct guess earns a point. And, Blue Team, not to rub it in, you are losing, so, you get to go first. – Stevie, I just have a comment before we start. – [Stevie] Please. – I know we’re all supposed to be dressed like we’re from the 50s, we could also be a ska band. – Oh, yes. (group chuckles) – If we just had three more people up here. – Sure. – That’s next weekend. – Yeah. – Yeah. – Uh-huh. – It’s next weekend. (Jenna chuckles) – All right. – Should we choose a prompt? Oh, boy. – Yeah. – Yeah. – Perfect. – Yeah. – Okay. – You look nervous. – Don’t seem confident. – You ready? – All right. I think we’re ready. – I’m ready. – [Stevie] Okay, your time starts now.

That’s a historical event, right? – Oh my. – Could be also, what counts as– – Okay. – 15 seconds. – Good to know what we’re working with. – Oh, oh, the walking on the moon for the first time? Man walks on moon? – I’ll give it to you. – Yay. (bell chimes) (audience applauding) – Yeah! – Wow. – History Revisited! – You know, when they put all the animals, and shot them into the sky, on the ark? (group chuckling) – [Stevie] Purple Team. – Okay. – Okay. – [Stevie] Please take a look at your list and pick your first event. – Okay. Yeah, yeah. – Okay.

(group chuckles) That’ll be old by the time this comes out. – [Stevie] Five seconds. (group chuckling) (horn blares) – Stevie, can I steal? – [Stevie] Well, I am curious for, yeah, I mean– – Is it Y2K? – Yes. – Yay! – Yeah.

Hold on, hold on. – Yeah! – This is some riggory. – This is my trophy. This is my Grammy. – This riggory. Something is up, because this card, that card is not the same. (group chuckling) Their card is nice. What’s happening? – I’m sorry, I forgot what award show it was, – Okay. – so, I played an Oscar. – You were a great Oscar. – I knew it wasn’t an Oscar, but– (indistinct chatter) That’s what I though. I was like, what is that? – Yeah. – Okay. – I was thinking of the astronaut. – Give it all. – It should be an astronaut. – Oh, it’s an astronaut. – [Jordan] Wow. – Sorry, this one? – Yeah. – [Chase] I thought it was a Grammy, I thought you were gonna be like– – I knew it wasn’t a Grammy. – Okay, okay. – Okay. – Okay. – Okay. – Trevor, are you gonna screw this up again? – [Stevie] Your time, okay, starts… – I’ll do it.

(group chuckles) – Really? – [Stevie] Yes, yes, just for you. – Thank you. – [Stevie] Do we have the tech to play royalty-free music (Jordan Morris chuckling) on this show? – Okay. – Yeah. – Okay. – Let them do it. – We think we got it. – Okay, here we go. – Yes. – Your time starts… – That is horrible. – Now. – Okay.

And when you watch this back, yeah. – People dance. – [Stevie] Okay, that means the tie is scored. (bell chimes) (lively music) – If you’re feeling hungry while watching this, go to sporked.com to find articles about the best things to buy at the grocery store, like my definitive ranking of all the Oreos flavors, and the top five things we eat every single week. – [Stevie] Dave and I really appreciated the miming of eating. – Wow. – [Stevie] That accompanied Jordan’s promo. – I’ve been learning a lot from David Hill. – This is me on sporked.com. – [Stevie] Oh! – Oh, see, I was like Trevor, I’m always on my computer. (Stevie chuckles) On sporked.com. – As long as you go to sporked.com. (group chuckling) – [Stevie] Okay, cool, your final game is called Shoes and Socks. You’re all going to remove your shoes, leaving you in your socks. – Socks. – [Stevie] Thank you. We’ll put your shoes on the opposite side of the room and blindfold you. And then on my call, you’ll try and blindly find your shoes. And the team that has the most players wearing the correct shoes when time is up, wins. Are you ready to do this thing? – Yes. – Yes. – You got it, dude. As you can see, we can’t. – We can’t. (group laughing) I thought we were gonna do it at the same time, Jordan. (group chuckling) – That was not the instruction. – Okay. – [Stevie] This is for all the marvels, and maybe marvels, ’cause that’s kind of a 1950s thing, I don’t know what’s in the prize. (Chase chuckles) Your time starts now. – I don’t even have a stripe. What are you guys doing? – I’m finding the shoes. – Start, Davin! – I found them, I found the shoes. That is that Jenna shoe. – Hey! (indistinct chatter) – There’s no shoes here. – This might be yours. Jordan, this might be yours. – Davin, they’re behind you, Davin. – Like, rude. – Don’t touch me. – Don’t touch my shoes like that. – This is mine. – Guys, you guys are blocking my way, I haven’t even felt a shoe yet. – They’re behind you. – Oh, this is a shoe. This is my shoe. – Both of mine are on. Both of mine are on, so, stop looking for mine. – Oh, you’ve got shoes on. – This is– – Oh, yeah, put them on. – This is not mine. – What do your shoes look like? – My shoes has little leather thingy on it. – Oh, sorry, is this yours? – Mine are Converse. – Is that yours? – Nice! – Helping. – Yes, this is mine. – Clear the way.

Please look down at your feet and determine if you are wearing your own shoes. Okay, so, Jordan and Chase, you have your correct shoes on? – Yeah. – Yeah. – [Stevie] And Davin, what’s happening? – I don’t. (group chuckling) – Wait, is one of those yours? – [Davin] This is mine. – [Jordan] You told me you were wearing a loafer. – It is, is this not a loafer? – That is not a loafer.
