The Only Fools calender really feels like something Del Boy would put together, and is therefore the most authentic calender
Yeah, it almost feels DELiBOYrate...
He'd manage to sell them for a few quid each only to find out that on the 10th press the sound box catches fire and end up having to pay back the money in damages
@@LordDragox412I wish I had said this!
Both the best and worst representation of the show
If Del Boy did it the theme tune would be in a different language, Icelandic or something like that.
The military men calendar might honestly be the best advent calendar I’ve ever seen
I am enjoying the Woozle Goozle uncertainty principle
Is that a leaked quote from Doctor Who tomorrow night? 😄
Dan has an _amazing_ talent for screwing himself over every year, by picking the worst calendars of the bunch.
Dans OFAH calendar might aswell have been a Titanic one. Since all it has done is given Dan a Sinking feeling.
Definitely a underrated comment ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️💯💯💯😁😁🤣🤣🤣
@@martyn5799 Emoji abuse is still abuse.
@@BoblopZmudaLMFAO your not wrong my mate 💯💯🤣🤣😱😱😜🥦🥦
Would've gone for "sank upon it's initial launch and broke expectations in two"
@@BoblopZmudaabuse for our eyes, I never understood it
Dan: "It's a comb!!"
Stuart: "What's that for?"
😆😆😆
To be fair he probably hasn't seen one in so long that he forgot
Honestly, that Woozle Goozle calendar doesn't seem half bad for what it is. I can see a German child who's a fan of the show actually having fun doing some of the experiments with their parents or older siblings. Sure, a lot of them are really basic experiments that most kids can do without the calendar, but it still seems like it would be fun.
I agree. They're intentionally not even using the items! They just look at them as a stand-alone thing, call it junk, and toss it aside. They've got it all backwards this year. The Barbie calendar is adorable, but these guys seem not to be aware that it's made for young kids and are complaining as though they expect it to be made of pure gold. And they've got that box of army junk that looks like it came from the Dollar Tree, and they're praising it like it's the highest of all art forms. I've always watched these every year, since the very first year, but this year I'm thinking there's no point watching any further. The videos aren't good this year, they aren't funny, they aren't interesting, and their commentary makes no sense at all. It seems that they've gotten it into their heads that they can buy any calendar, NOT use it at all, and just make fun of every piece of it without even using it or knowing what it is. Oh, but they have to say something good, so they decided to praise every piece of trash that comes out of that Poundland army box. This duo has lost its charm. They're just expecting people to like anything they do, so they're not even trying this year.
It looks like it's biggest detractor is the fact that most if not all of the experiments require something that doesn't come in the calendar. Sure you have a good chance of having them at home but that's no guarantee. Like the one that requires two bottles, I don't have any bottles in my house so I would have to go out of my way to get some just to do one experiment.
I thought its biggest issue was the fact it was in German, a fact which prevents it from being marketing to any but a handful of Central European countries
@@bobbys332the two bottles you will find in literally any German household
@@dannyboy9709Not too much of an issue I think considering it's a calendar for a German language TV show and Germany is one of the most populous countries in Europe
The cheese calendar is better than the only fools calendar
That German pensioner calendar they had was a banger too because they had to eat it
The accessories and resources might not fit the figures properly but somehow it still feels like 25 pounds for all those various things would be great
It's bad, but not a bad value.
@@uselessDM you can get all that for about 7 dollars US at a dollar tree store. Same quality figures and accessories. So no, it's not a good value, it's 15 cents worth of chinese plastic sold for a 10000% mark-up
Those are 100% US Dollar Store toys, I had a bunch of them as a kid, each day is 1 pound and you only get 1 figure or a handful of the accessories, you can get packs of these boys for $1 at any US dollar store, with a bunch of accessories. It looks like a good deal by comparison to the officially licensed calendars which are even bigger ripoffs, but its still a ripoff lol.
Like the only thing different from the toys I had as a kid, is they seem to have swapped the obscenely oversized shotgun out for a more modest one (with a grip still too big for the figures hands) That shotgun was so big, it was in-scale with the classic 12-inch scale GI Joe figures and each pack came with it.
£1 that flap was worth. One bloody pound
At this point, I'm fully expecting Dan to break the OFAH calendar in half at the end of this.
I would like to see the moving mechanism.
I wouldn't be surprised if he does so before then!
The army man calendar is legit the best Advent calendar they have ever opened. First one i'd actually buy myself.
The metal puzzle calendar too I'm genuinely considering for next year
The woman eating crisps at the end of these videos (no idea who she is) is clearly having a better time than Dan and Stuart 😂
Pretty sure it's meant to be us watching the video on the couch
Is it just me or does Dan always pick the worst calendars? 🤣🤣
I commented this on day one lmao
As in I agree not like you stole the thought, haha. UA-cam comments sections, you can never be too sure. 😅
No, the Barbie calendar and the science one are very nice. They just have chosen to trash-talk everything they get without even using them because they're not even trying anymore.
@@mynameisworldthe Barbie calendar sucks the Barbie Advent calendar are always crap.
@@mynameisworld Nope, Barbie one sucks even by 'cheap Barbie shit' standards.
I am determined to wait until the series is complete, before I read the entire dystopian SciFi novel unfolding in the video description. It's hard to resist, but I shall find the strength!!
You have brought this to my attention. I had no idea there was anything interesting in the description. 😂
And I only just found that out cause you mentioned it xD
@@AdelardRen Enjoy!
@@Jorendo I'm looking forward to finding out what happens!!
Same here. Now I think I will also leave it till the end and read it all in one go. Thanks for the heads up.
My son, as I was just starting this video: "Ashens looks like an angry egg"... 😀😀
i feel like this perfectly captures why i would always ask for the "boy" toy when i got a kids meal.
I'm starting to think "Only Fools and Horses" isn't referencing the name of the show, it's telling you who the calendar was made for. Okay, maybe not horses.
That Military Men calendar keeps impressing me. Shame the bike didn't quite fit the men though.
Today my fancy German chocolate calendar gave me a chocolate ball filled with caramel cream. Pretty thick caramel with a taste of chocolate, felt very fancy. Not bad at all.
The only way that Only Fools calender is getting a win now is for one day to contain a magic spell that will bring Uncle Albert and Trigger back to life.
Dan's disappointment really is the reason for these advent videos.
The Only Fools and Horses calendar is amazing to me. Just truly, unfathomably bad in concept, design and execution. I continue to be staggered it even exists and that someone actually made it
Then charged £25!
One minute in and I can guess the likely winner for day eight.
I just realized the tree in the back just has a giant clump of christmas lights thrown on top and they didn't wrap it around the tree😂
I live in the U.S. so I’ve never heard or saw the tv show based on this dodgy advent, after reading the description of the show online it’s kinda fitting.
Yeah the Calendar is totally somethin Del Boy would sell out of the back of his van...
Yeah that's what makes it so funny, I could almost believe it was intentional
Everyone is here for the calendars, but I am here for the episodic distopian sci-fi novel in the description.
The wot?
Oh god, I’m gonna have to go back and start reading all the descriptions of these videos now, aren’t I?! 🙃😅
Being from Europe, that glowinthedark sticker might actually be RadioActive Yay!!
Stuart, looking inside his clothes: "Oh god it does glow! Quite good actually."
I remember opening the same advent calendar each year, it was just a door with a picture behind. These calendars are even more disappointing than that.
I had those as a kiddie, very disappointing.
clit!? im saying that from now on hell yeah
If ken was a literal accessory for barbie in one of the calendar days i think it would make the rest of the calendar worth it
Best time of the year..... Advent time
5:58 say what now?????? LMFAOOO
The dirtbike should just make Stuart win by default
An excellent week of tat.
I had that dirt bike growing up, only mine was black and grey
At this point Dan should just always open first. It's not a matter of whether Dan will win or not. It's a matter of how terrible will the thing that beats him be.
I love this because I'm doing a Barbie advent calender (because why not), and I also got a shit comb.
Does your Callander have numbers at least?
@@joeseaman8347 Thankfully yes.
8 year old me is HYPED over the military men calendar. A dirt bike is amazing
I hope that someone who has a good voice for dramatic sci-fi reads out the descriptions of this years advent
NGL I thought Dan said "cone" at first and thought we were going to have some Barbiesque cone hype
I just noticed the Flamecraft boardgame on the shelf, we just bought it for no reason other than it's super adorable. Luckily it also happens to be fun to play too.
I'm a reliable reindeer!
As if I gasped when they revealed the only fools and horses one
I keep thinking this is Tommy pickles and Chucky all grown up
Never thought I'd see a sticker actually win.
So far, it seems like a lot if tied days.
Dan has as much hope of winning this as a turkey in america surviving thanksgiving.
One lucky turkey gets pardoned every year, so there is hope however miniscule.
Lmfao you guys are hilariously cute the way you play with the toys and make funny voices haha
Hope they bring back food advent calendars next year
Me too, the spice/cereal year was hilarious!
Have anyone found the original video of the girl at the end of each episode?
For a second I thought ashens was gonna sing no hair for my hair bush .
Maybe next year the goal shouldn't just be the crappiest advent calendars possible, because let's face it, that's low hanging fruit these days. Maybe the goal should be that they must be crappy and yet also interesting at the same time?
Well, remember the year they both got expensive, "premium" calendars? Some of the stuff in those ended up being surprisingly crap.
@@Blacknight8850 not at all surprising imo :) Have you ever seen an advent calendar that _isn't_ basically crap? lol
On the eighth day of Advent, these two blokes gave to me
Dirtbike and a comb
Snow gear and a cap thing
Soldier and mermaid tail
Some fancy guns!
Barbie and a box of weapons
Tech gear and a brush
Backpacks, shoes and dancers
And Some guff that is generic
Thanks for the tradition
Maybe he should replace the Only Horses and Fools with the puzzle calendar...
Next year...have a default extra calendar just in case one of the chosen ones SUCKS....
Día 8
Octavo día de competencia, un tercio del tiempo ha pasado y las cosas parecen ser un tanto predecibles si eres un Ashenita de corazón y llevas viendo esto por más de 5 años.
Round 1
El día comienza prometedor para Stuart ya que es un día de suministros para sus soldaditos, y el comando decidió mandarle una motocicleta, ya con eso tiene medio día ganado.
Pero Dan al ver el nivel de la competencia decide arriesgar y abrir un día grande, solo para recibir un peine, mucho espacio para un peine.
Round 2
Cómo si no fuese un insulto de por si para los fans que OFAH todo lo que ha salido ahora decidieron poner unos jodidos globos desplegables, literal podrían haber puesto lo que sea, hasta un elefante, o un persona que saliera dos segundos de fondo, o a Santa Claus, o un Goku bootleg para que quien comprase este calendario por error mínimo se pudiera reír ya que pues es solo cartón, pero no, solo globos.
Incluso el calendario de Stuart en los días meh se esfuerza más y puso una calcomanía que brilla en la oscuridad.
Cómo sea, la habilidad de Dan ahora le permite resolver el fierrito de castigo en tiempo récord y convierte una derrota en un empate.
Fin del octavo día.....y ay carajo, estoy enojado, como puede ser que unos globos......
Stuart: 2
Dan: 0
debió contar como punto negativo para ese calendario, está de no creer
@@TheAudioVids Estoy seguro que al ser una serie de nicho pensaron que podían poner lo que quisieran bajo la excusa de "Esto no nada"
Thanks for la tradición
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Dan still has 0 points by the end of this.
So I've just remembered that all four calendars are £25, so doesn't that mean Barbie's hairbrush is better than German Puppet's Sticker? It could be argued that a glow in the dark sticker is better, but... it might have given Dan a chance.
This is absolutely hilarious though and I look forward to 16 more days of Dan opening the puzzle calendar. 😂❤
they're individually ranked, not totaled between the two, so dirt bike beats hairbrush, glow in the dark sticker beats a flap of cardboard, and pokemon is getting really fucking confusing these days
'I can't get it out', as the actress said to the Bishop.
Nice Sanchez.
Dan wins by virtue of actually buying a knocked off advent calendar on Hooky Street
Ashens should cosplay with one big springy hair on his head and a rainbow lollipop.
Hello-ho-ho everybody!
Honestly was hoping Stuart would put Dan’s or his figure on the dirt bike
4:29 is that the gold recycling song from South Park?
It 2 more point than you will ever get Dan just remember that
Poor, poor Dan...
Today’s “24 electronic games” calendar was the same as yesterday but with buttons instead of a wire maze
That sticker really seals it for me that Woozle Goozle is a knock-off of Gromit.
I am guessing Dan will lose by 5 points , But Ashens with his amazing powers of prognostication already knows.
Okay time to fess up guys. Raise your hand if you thought he was wearing an Eric Cartman shirt in the thumbnail? 😂🙋♀️
The fact they can sell that only fools and hourse calender is disgraceful
Like it's just trash. As in literally, the best thing about it will be being able to throw it away when it's done.
So I was focused on my laptop for work and I just happened to look up when Stuart was looking down his shirt yelling "It glows!". I was not aware that a nuclear power plant exploded in the UK recently.
The motorbike is a horrible terrible crude moulding. Would be angry if I got that for Christmas.. Still it easily beats a tiny comb.
Looking at photos of that Barbie calendar on Google, the missing numbers really must be a misprint. All of the photos have them on it 👀
There's two versions of the calendar, a calendar one for Europe and a "gift box" one for America. The difference is just that the gift box version doesn't have numbers on it. Dan got the wrong one.
Jesus, that OFaH flap might just be the worst thing to ever come from one of these calendars.
DANHAUSEN!
Dan screws himself Every Year!
How!
0:43 That's what she said
Have a good idea for next year admin calendar of fidget calendar
Ashens should trade the science calendar for barbies.
Eight days in and the focus of the main camera is still on the background rather than our illustrious hosts :)
I'm now thinking of an Episode of Diagnosis murder where Dick Van Dyke does ride a Dirt Bike (with some CGI created by Van Dyke himself).. fun
Laugh at me for taking it seriously if you will, but the Barbie comb should've won.
The criteria is arbitrary and inconsistent of course, but I'm sensing the bike won for being more "fun" despite not being to scale with the figures that come in the calendar, so actual play with the bike is limiting (i.e. you'd have to hold the soldier and bike at the same time, hand covering both to move it around and you can't set the pair down together.).
But the humble Barbie comb? It is completely satisfactory. The plastic is strong enough that it won't snap when used, and there are no issues with scale because Barbie isn't supposed to use it, you are. And it works perfectly fine. So if you're to play with Barbie and comb her hair (which is 100% a play mechanic) you aren't limited like you are with the bike.
If you're going to compare and rate toys against each other, you have to think about how they're to be played with.
The criteria isn't fun things, it's high quality things. Wera had an advent calendar that these two did a few years ago and it was just nuts and bolts, but because they were all solid quality, they won basically every day.
I agree the comb isn't totally totally awful but the bike clearly had more manufacturing put into it. Someone had to design it and implement it to work with the figures. The comb is literally a piece of flat plastic.
The bike is in scale, what
@@DanTheStripe It's apples and oranges so we may never agree lol, but I still think the comb is better. It's smooth, rounded, sturdy and one piece. And it being simple (like the nuts and bolts) means even a basic level of quality is high quality. As long as it's not those tiny ones I got when I was a kid that had pointy bits and were so thin they were 2D and bent when you used them, then it's quality and going to last.The bike, on the other hand, is a cool design and has moving wheels(!), but for it to be high quality it'd have to be fully painted and to proper scale and not so... shiny. It's also been made with at least 5 parts which I would hope hold up. Because, again, as a child, I played with cheap toys that looked like that and did fall apart.
I also think today the focus wasn't on the quality of the items, more that they didn't see the value in the comb but hey it's not my video ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@mechadeka It’s too big, as Stuart demonstrated in the video but okay
the comb is good, but it really isnt a days worth of stuff on its own. the problem with the barbie one in my opinion is it feels like 12 days worth of stuff spread out to fill a whole calender. i'm surprised they git both the shoes at once!
six... six... six seconds 😳
The best thing about the Only Fools and Horses calendar is that it makes me think of one of the best lines from Clone High.
"So... religion's for fools, eh? Fools and liberals!"
If you buy any Barbie or any doll really they all come with a comb and a handful of accessories. It's a special kind of disappointment in these advent calendars when they can't be bothered to put a surprise in the little boxes. You might as well just break Barbie into 24 pieces and assemble her like Johnny Longtorso from MST3K.
So, what is the deal with the lady with the chips?
The Only Fools calendar is frankly insulting at £25.
So my score as of today.

Ashens 12-6 nerd got fortunate with hiz free throw puzzle otherwise ashens swept today.
So erm... 3 calendars next year to eliminate the chance of ties? :P
😄
man those shirts must be stinky after wearing them 3 days in a row
what if the OFAH calendar turns out to be the Best Thing ... I"ve seen christmas miracles before. it could happen.
That comb isnt so bad once it got put in dans hair
Seems like quite a lot of background hiss in the audio of this one - anyone else noticing that?
It's bothering me that the 3 craplendars are making the generic military men calendar look very good.
Ooph, at least it's not as strong a wash as it was with WERA calendar. But this is getting pretty bad.
finish him!
