That's why I said Barry was close to the actual answer when he said earthquake. I wouldn't be surprised if a volcanic eruption triggered one. Although he also said the Romans destroyed Pompeii :)
I love how Paul is hopeless at creating coherent games but turns into a mad villain when devising a forfeit. “It’s ALL the Beanboozeled! AHAHAHA! Fiancée? She left me months ago!”
I love Barry to death but I get the feeling that even if the answers were blatantly told to him he still wouldn't know the correct answer. He's a nice guy, but he's a bit dim.
Stop asking Barry and Ashens trivia together. 95% of Ashens brain is dedicated to trivia and only 25% of Barry's brain is functional. It's no where near a fair fight.
25% pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft your a generous one arnt you ?at best barry has 2 brain cells ones lost and the other one is looking for it,no time for barry!
And forfeits like this one aren't fair either. Ashens has been basically practicing this for years. All it got out of him was a simple "that ain't good".
Having watched his chicken curry - cheap or steep? video, and his pitiful attempt at making something as trivially simple as boiled rice, I'm not even sure he should be considered a cook.
This game is perfect. The pointlessness of swapping the tubes. How long it took Stuart to get the lid off. The bean turd. Sell it to Channel 5, what a format.
I was actually going to point out how this is the Monty Hall problem except they don't reveal one of the doors making it pointless. Then Stuart pointed out that exact thing. Ashens is psychic time travelling wizard confirmed.
Julie Anna Nope, definitely psychic time traveling wizard. Nobody else in the entirety of human existence had that thought but me and Ashens time travelled into the future after he made this episode, read my mind, then time travelled back before filming this episode and stole my idea before I could think of it. That is the only conceivable explanation.
a good twist for this game would be they know what's in their initial tube, then they would know whether or not to switch, or truck people to switch with them.
I agree. If they knew what they had, they could fake out the other players. Also, I wish they wouldn't have forfeits involving eating. It's one of the worst thing s to watch other people do, IMO.
Or, maybe the jar with "Lump" in it could have been revealed, and Paul could have just not told them what the condition for winning was. Then you'd have them double guessing the rules of the game, wondering if they want the lump or not...
Poor Paul! When Eli was snarky about how pointless the swapping of the canisters is and they all cackled with laughter, he seemed to realise his mistake and had this really embarrassed look on his face. I just felt really sorry for him.
4:24 I missed that the first time, "What do you think a show about travelling through Time And Relative Dimensions In Space what do you think T might stand for?"
The game should begin with everyone knowing what they have so the two who don't have "Winner" try to determine who is the most unwilling to change their jar. Possibly, the game should just have two "Safe" and one "Lump" jar, and you don't want to be left with "Lump" at the end.
Alex Summers Truly, he is the sweet summer child of legend. He's an adult man with a wife and two children and yet you would still feel like you were corrupting him if you gave him a hint of how babies are made, or gave him reason to suspect Santa Claus.
I'm convinced Barry has never had sex in his life, but that when his wife did the whole "Barry... Sit down... I've something to tell you... I'm...I've done something terrible and now I'm pregnant." Barry got completely the wrong end of the stick, thought she'd got a disease from sitting on a public toilet seat, and still hasn't worked out why, 9 months later, a baby popped out of Mrs Barry. What makes it worse is that this happened TWICE.
Poor Barry really doesn't know the answers to general triva questions (although he admits he falls asleep during films, doesn't know much about Doctor Who and I think he said he hasn't read many books). I have a head full of trivia knowledge, but I can barely boil an egg :P
The ultimate game of futility. First you answer trivia so you can swap tubes, but no one knows what's in any of them. The tubes contain Win, Lose and a Forfeit, but win and lose don't have any difference. And finally no matter what was in your tube everybody takes a bite of the lump.
I love Paul. I can really relate to him, because in my circle of friends, I too am always the ass who has to read all the manuals of all the new games and then explain them to a gaggling bunch who can't shut up and listen for 5 minutes. Bless him!
Paul, I got your back on this. This was a really lovely little psychological game, and perfect for a video. I could see where it may have felt a bit odd to play at the time but it was very entertaining and not at all awkward on this end. If anything the mystery of which bottle held what was a great equalizer. The forfeit was brilliant and evil. My educational background is in experimental psychology and I've got to say that you could learn a lot about a person while playing this. Given Stu's background I chuckled to see that he took his lessons on bias and logical fallacy to heart. :)
I think people think we go out of our way to make this as slick as Good Mythical Morning etc, when actually, we strive to be the antithesis of it. "professional unprofessionalism" you could say!
Technically that is correct. Due to the tourists that flock to Pompeii, the city is wearing down bit by bit. I believe that there are conservation teams in the area trying to repair the damage done.
How you could improve the game slightly is by taking the 3 aside and telling 2 where the "lose" is and 1 where the "forefit" is. The other dont know which tube the other 2 were told about though so they try to guess their reasons for swapping.
Wait! Barry got the question about Glasgow football right in about four-tenths of a femtosecond! He may not know what Tardis stands for, and he may need some encouragement to know anything about Pompeii, but he knows about sports and bain maries. Huzzah for Barry, may he live forever!
I find it absolutely hilarious that, after eating the beanturd, unlike the others' violent gagging, Stewart's reaction was completely measured and collected, a testament to all the punishment his taste buds and stomach had to endure all these years.
This quiz has really showed Barry's lack of general knowledge.Mind you, seeing Paul's face after her taken a bite out of his Beanboozled turd was priceless. All in all, fantastic stuff!
you guys go so well together and this is by far my favourite YT channel. I feel so sorry for barry though, he literally knows nothing about pop culture lol.
for the game to work properly you'd want four people minimum you'd have to reveal one of the bottles at the beginning (one of the loses) then after the first round reveal the second lose then at the end of the second round reveal the winner and the lump, for each new person add one lose bottle.
You should have done this but with tinned food because then they could try and judge by the weight of the tins. Then at the end they'd have to eat a tablespoon of the contents of the can.
Great video guys! I think this game would be better if you know where the Lose tube is. That way when swapping you can either chose between the 'safety' of the lose tube or risk between winning and forfeiting. Keep it up team!
there's barely audible background music when paul's explaining the rules and it legitimately makes me feel like i'm going insane trying to listen to it.
I think the "boxes" should each have a unique identifier, so the contestants can draw their own conclusions as to what they represent. Yet the identifiers are arbitrary and the game gets to keeps it's pointlessness, whilst adding a meaningless dimension of competition.
The game would have been more intriguing if, after getting a question right, they get to choose between swapping their tube with someone else or being told what is in their tube.
"How was the roman city of Pompeji destroyed?"
"Uh. Asteroids?"
God damn Barry.
He did also say earthquake, that was closer.
"The Leader" would have also been an acceptable answer.
DarkestVampire92 barry wasn't totally wrong. the volcano also spat out a lot pumice stones, which bombarded pompeii.
That's why I said Barry was close to the actual answer when he said earthquake. I wouldn't be surprised if a volcanic eruption triggered one. Although he also said the Romans destroyed Pompeii :)
Pompeii was destroyed by an Earthquake in 62AD, rebuilt and then destroyed by pyroclastic flows in 79AD. It was, however, never destroyed by lava.
I love how Paul is hopeless at creating coherent games but turns into a mad villain when devising a forfeit. “It’s ALL the Beanboozeled! AHAHAHA! Fiancée? She left me months ago!”
Hes attempted suicide
@@samholdsworth420What's that got to do with the above post?
Paul's continued attempts to help Barry win something are as futile as they are heartbreaking. A tragedy of our time.
I love Barry to death but I get the feeling that even if the answers were blatantly told to him he still wouldn't know the correct answer. He's a nice guy, but he's a bit dim.
@@MysteriumArcanum he's obviously smarter when he's either cooking or talking about porn.

Barry is beyond help
Stop asking Barry and Ashens trivia together. 95% of Ashens brain is dedicated to trivia and only 25% of Barry's brain is functional. It's no where near a fair fight.
Demint Monroe all Barry can do is cook
could ask barry cooking questions to mix it up give him a fair opportunity if he knows alot about cooking never watched his content
It's actually ridiculous how good Ashens is at trivia, especially when it comes to game related stuff, he knows so many random tat facts.
25% pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft your a generous one arnt you ?at best barry has 2 brain cells ones lost and the other one is looking for it,no time for barry!
And forfeits like this one aren't fair either. Ashens has been basically practicing this for years. All it got out of him was a simple "that ain't good".
Hmm, I just realized that watching the barshens cast play through a DnD campaign would be a spectacular entertainment
First you'd have to explain to Barry what DnD is
ellaisplotting, haha, true, but I honestly think I would happily watch an episode consisting of just that
Рустам Балафендиев 10/10 would watch
Barry: halfling
Eli: dwarf
Ashens: High Elf
hell yeah, please let this happen
Videos like this with all the gaffes made Barshens special. God I miss this content.
I do too.
Same. So sad I just found these
Barry is the Sherlock Homes of cooking. If something is not cooking related he does not waste space in his brain on it.
Martin Drkoš which is worrying, considering he hadn't cooked before he started his channel
@@MrLego3160 The first thing he did when starting his channel was erase all his previous knowledge to make room for cooking.

Challenging wank
Paul's pathetic lol
In a good way
That jelly bean LUMP was a stroke of sinister brilliance
I love how Paul literally said what TARDIS stands for and Barry still doesn't get the answer correctly.
Travelling?
+{FIRST_NAME} {LAST_NAME} It's probably Tomato.
Barry has admitted his lack of knowledge of Doctor Who, but he still didn't get the answer when Paul said TIME And Relative Dimensions In Space :)
I've seen it written as dimension and dimensions, Barry still managed to get it wrong despite Paul giving him the answer :P
I've been watching the show since 1970, and I've always said dimensions.
I like how Ashens says "oh bloody Scotland" and then everyone agrees with him, even though Pitcairn isn't in Scotland either. It's in the pacific
The old classic, say something with enough confidence and people will agree with you
MERICA
It's also a British territory
It was named after a Scottish guy
04:20 Paul literally said the answer and Barry didn't even know. Wow.
WE KNOW.. That's the joke
@@swanningabouthe knew...that's the joke
I was actually going to point out how this is the Monty Hall problem except they don't reveal one of the doors making it pointless. Then Stuart pointed out that exact thing. Ashens is psychic time travelling wizard confirmed.
I was thinking the swapping thing would seem less pointless if he colour coded the boxes, then they all started going after the stained one haha
Julie Anna Nope, definitely psychic time traveling wizard. Nobody else in the entirety of human existence had that thought but me and Ashens time travelled into the future after he made this episode, read my mind, then time travelled back before filming this episode and stole my idea before I could think of it.

And he could have made it Monty Hall by giving Eli the chance to swap after Staurt had opened his tube.
a good twist for this game would be they know what's in their initial tube, then they would know whether or not to switch, or truck people to switch with them.
I agree. If they knew what they had, they could fake out the other players.
Also, I wish they wouldn't have forfeits involving eating. It's one of the worst thing s to watch other people do, IMO.
that would also make it a game

much like 'carrot in a box', played once on 8 out of 10 cats. an excellent game.
I think it would've already helped a lot if the tubes deliberately didn't look identical.
Oh Barry, bless you and whatever fantasy world you live in!
I would love to see the cut stuff from this episode Paul looks so angry when they make fun of his game
Probably called at least one person a c*nt!
How did Barry not know about Pompeii?!
You can't be a great cook and a genius at the same time
He definitely seems to lack a certain amount of general knowledge...
To be fair he isn't much of a cook either. I mean the guy hates literally everything.
Doreen Green Since when was cheese everything?
Just not very bright.
Why am I addicted to watching these?
Barshens is too damn brilliant. Top quality improv comedy.
Poor Paul! When Eli was snarky about how pointless the swapping of the canisters is and they all cackled with laughter, he seemed to realise his mistake and had this really embarrassed look on his face. I just felt really sorry for him.
First, there was Eli's junk, now Paul's junk.
Hell yeah. I'm getting my Friday Barshens fix :D
And now Paul's lump x'D

Oh my god. We must protect Barry Lewis. He is a precious innocent snowflake.

What makes it worse is that this happened TWICE.
The fact you think he's an innocent snowflake ❄️ 😂
I like how even though it was just Stuart that had the forfeit, everyone else took it anyway out of just sheer morbid curiosity.
The dirty tube was the winner. Eli talked it up so stu would take it then barry took it and eli got it back.
They didn't even need to play, literally every one of them tried it.
I like that in the end it didn't even matter who won, everybody took a bite of it
Barry, I love you man, but FOR FUCK'S SAKE
+
Yeah, you can even tell him the answer, and he still won't get it....
Oh God, I miss Barshens so much..
Did Stuart say that Pitcarin was in Scotland? He really wasn't kidding when he indicated his lack of knowledge of that story.
This week on Barshens, nobody wins.
Poor Barry really doesn't know the answers to general triva questions (although he admits he falls asleep during films, doesn't know much about Doctor Who and I think he said he hasn't read many books). I have a head full of trivia knowledge, but I can barely boil an egg :P

this video has an immense dark energy to it
Best bit if this video is when Paul brings his lump out and Barry is gagging in the background as he unwrap it
Barry doesn't have the "time" for these questions!
I love Paul. I can really relate to him, because in my circle of friends, I too am always the ass who has to read all the manuals of all the new games and then explain them to a gaggling bunch who can't shut up and listen for 5 minutes.

Pompeii: destroyed by people.
Technically that is correct. Due to the tourists that flock to Pompeii, the city is wearing down bit by bit. I believe that there are conservation teams in the area trying to repair the damage done.
Pompeii, the Roman city: destroyed by Romans?
This was actually the best.
"go on, bite my lump!" i feel like that's the last thing many people have heard before dying of food poisoning
How you could improve the game slightly is by taking the 3 aside and telling 2 where the "lose" is and 1 where the "forefit" is. The other dont know which tube the other 2 were told about though so they try to guess their reasons for swapping.
I laughed so hard I woke up my roommate. Now I too have a lump.
A lump in your pants? 🍆 🩳?
Minge@@samholdsworth420
Ahhh... the look on Stu's face when Paul says to take a bite of the lump
The great thing is that Pompeii was covered by more ash than lava... Even when he’s right, he gets it wrong.
Legendary amongst the Barshens games =)
Funniest episode they ever did in my opinion!
One man's junk is another man's Chinese boat.
One man's Dirty Tube, is another man's Lump.
How does Barry not know about Pompeii, or get the heavy-handed hint about time travel?!?!?!?!?
Funny vid again guys ya all legends in my book,but makes me wonder if Barry walks round in a tinfoil hat blocking out all information
Pretty sure Pitcairn is on the other side of the planet from Scotland...
lol yes it's in the Pacific.
"Close, they've got legs" Barry, never change
Barshens at its finest. If I don't see this channel in the youtube rewind I'll be severely disappointed.
Wait! Barry got the question about Glasgow football right in about four-tenths of a femtosecond! He may not know what Tardis stands for, and he may need some encouragement to know anything about Pompeii, but he knows about sports and bain maries. Huzzah for Barry, may he live forever!
They all ate the lump
That means the whole game to determine who was going to eat it was completely pointless
The close-up of that look of disgust on Barry's face cracked me up :)
Looked like Paul was constantly a thread away from laughing. Kept his composure though.
Everyone took a bite. It's the ultimate exercise in futility.
GOD I need to stop skipping Barshens Episodes, this was an absolute Delight! XD
Ashens comment on the lump "That ain't good" made me giggle
It sums it up perfectly I believe.
Another amazing show of Barry's knowledge. Let this be a lesson kids... read books.
Bite my lump. The best imperative form sentence in history.
As weird as it is I would rather watch this than Deal or No Deal and that was on for bloody years.
I haven't laughed so much in ages, just the way he gagged and almost, almost threw up.
Nice T-shirt, Paul! The Raspberry PI is awesome :)
I find it absolutely hilarious that, after eating the beanturd, unlike the others' violent gagging, Stewart's reaction was completely measured and collected, a testament to all the punishment his taste buds and stomach had to endure all these years.

Yay! Full opening!
I love Eli's new whaircut.
05:25 - still slays me.
Barry's version of the history is a lot more exciting. Roman asteroids.
I laughed so hard when Eli started laughing I had to leave a video and come back a day later :P
Asteroid?!? how the hell is Barry so clueless? lmao
This quiz has really showed Barry's lack of general knowledge.Mind you, seeing Paul's face after her taken a bite out of his Beanboozled turd was priceless. All in all, fantastic stuff!
I had to pause the video for at least a minute to quit laughing when the lump was explained.
Looks like Paul went to the Prometheus School of Running His Mouth.
The School of Running Away From Things was full.
