There once was a puzzle of links, Metal, in intricate kinks. With a twist and a turn, It would bend, it would churn, Till a solution was found, methinks!
"If you have to force it, it doesn't go, that's the rule with these things, isn't it", says Dan, having forced multiple puzzles prior over the past three weeks.
You get a lot of channels full of the jolly holiday spirit but rarely do you get one with the ‘tense, ready to snap at any moment’ yule tide family vibe.
I know we're all upset by Dan's puzzle smash, but I'm almost as upset by the number of times Ashens tried to put a corner or edge piece in a place that obviously wasn't on the corner or edge.
Or the one where he put the top half of woozle goozles face onto the side of the bottom half of his face, took it off, then put it back again, before realizing both pieces have the face on them.
Something tells me Dan is getting a little bit upset with his calendars. Today my fancy German chocolate calendar gave me a chocolate ball filled with eggnog cream. First time in quite a while I get something other than a dupe, very nice surprise. Quite a good chocolate too. Thumbs up.
@@shrakner Well technically it's "Eierlikör", which isn't QUITE the same thing as eggnog, but it's close enough that you often see the words translated as each other.
"This is FREEDOM LAND, kids!!!! The only gun safety tip you need is to use both hands!!!! Now get out there and make shit go BOOM!!!!!! " "sir, we appreciate you coming to give a talk today, but this is a Nursery..."
I was actually strangely relaxed by Ashens doing a jigsaw. It was like some weird ASMR 😂 well until someone...naming no names destroyed his fine handy work 😂
You were saying about Santa dying, but in my local town they have a Santa's Grotto for the kids, and last week the Santa that was there died in the Grotto! They had to drive an ambulance into the town centre (Pedestrianised so it's very obvious) and take the poor guy away. I really hope there were no kids there at the time, they would be scarred for years!
@@fennecfoxfanaticA 24-piece puzzle doesn't sound hard, but say you got 40 random pieces per day for a 48x20 puzzle. They could have it so all the pieces of day 1 all go together, and every piece from every future day can be connected to an existing piece. This doesn't mean you'll get to solve 8x5 small puzzles, but the pieces are seemingly randomly selected, but as long as they can be placed down to any other adjacent piece.
On the twentieth day of Advent, these two blokes gave to me More friggin guns! Soldier and some stickers Soldier and plastic necklace Soldier and a teapot Bouncy slime and Tiara Patrick Stewart! The biggest pearl necklace A plastic dog named Scruffy Desert bloke and dragon Bootleg Chip Hazard Lame plastic wand! Stealth Guy and lame horse 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
I can't tell if Dan's drunk, lost the will to live or lost his marbles at this point. A friend who also watches commented that it was a good thing they don't get Barry to make 24 disasterous food stuffs as the forfeit calendar...I don't think a mini pizza made with carbon cheese would go down well...or up for that matter
No ones going to care; but I'm pretty sure the 'Grenade launcher' is actually a riot gun of some make (something that's fairly common to use instead of an actual 40mm launcher in film, tv and games) , the 'm60' is a M249 SAW, the 'space gun' looks like an ACR (or SCAR-L) with an ACOG, supressor, and a bizarrely anachronistic PEQ-2 and Surefire M900a foregrip/flashlight combo. Interesting choices on that last one. Most of those attachments strike me as the sort you'd find on an early GWOT era MK18 mod 0, not on either an ACR or SCAR. The AK is probably an akm, rather than a '74 or a '47. But that's kinda semantics.
Definitely an M249 (rather than the original Minimi, given the heat shield), and I agree that the “space rifle” is some combination of ACR and SCAR. Kind of impressed that they were able to make the M900 so clearly identifiable.
What you're looking for in the Mojave is the Wasteland Festival, I highly recommend it, not been to the Cyber Punk one but the Fallout/Madmax one is amazing
Dan - I can fix this for you: At least it's not the cheese calendar punishment this year! You would literally have been projectile vomiting cheese if it had been! 😀
2:57 "I've got to learn Papua New Guinean" English is an official language in Papua New Guinea and is used in the court system. Or you can learn one of the other 831 languages spoken there of which none is called Papua New Guinean.
I am behind family stuff (went ice skating badness sort of happened) my aunt went with me and her fall :( shes fine but recovery time might be sometimes
I greatly appreciate the fact that Dan has one point guaranteed because the Only Fools calendar has a 25th day and will win by default, thus making the Only Fools calendar more efficient than the Barbie one in terms of scoring.
Woke up at 4:45 this morning to take my mother to the hospital to get a life saving surgery. The surgery was from 8am to 3pm. I got to see her at about 4:30. Surgery was a success, except now she's gonna be in rehab for the next 6 weeks. Got home at about 7. The cat was in the house all day. I let her outside then went to clean my room and watch some UA-cam videos. As I was cleaning I found a hamburger that I meant to eat that morning. Except I only found the buns and the bacon. My cat must have snuck into my room and eaten my hamburger!
@@Okurka. You have to be pretty damn stupid to fail at that. I genuinely wonder if this is an effect of Dan finally losing it, or if we're seeing a little bit of the "thinking" that convinced him his chosen calenders were good choices. Probably a bit of both.
Aaah yes, Wasteland Weekend! You gotta go when you get the chance. However, a costume is mandatory, and it has to fit within the theme. But thats half the fun!
After ruining the jigsaw puzzle, I think Dan's hypothetical scenario of going to jail in Papua New Guinea is completely justified.
Not a truer word spoken!
Get the Tories on it!
Start learning Papua New Guineaish NOW
Im irrationally upset we didnt get to see the completed Woozle Goozle Puzzle
Ruined my day.
Wait until tomorrow
If there's no image of the completed puzzle I'll be coming back to downvote this video.
I was thinking "how nice this jigsaw isnt a jumpcut" but then my ocd was devestated not seeing it conpleted! 😥
woozle goozle poozzle
I applaud Dan's attempts to keep the conversation going while Stuart struggles with a children's jigsaw puzzle.
The army calendar is the best calendar of all the years.
Yeah. That or personally i would have loved the spice calendar.
Id also take the cheese calendar tbh lol@@DarkwolfRedsoul
I mean the tool kit one was pretty good in that in theory gave you something useful.
The only thing that could improve it are some grass masks.
@@ninetailedliligant1334 So long as you don't let Dan lose it.
Dan is exhibiting all of the 5 stages of grief in this video... but not necessarily in the right order
"If you have to force it, it doesn't go, that's the rule with these things, isn't it", says Dan, having forced multiple puzzles prior over the past three weeks.
including the one from yesterday
If Dan hadn't smashed the jigsaw, Stuart would've double won this day.
I remember when there was a punishment calendar and dan had to eat spice packets
Yeah that was a German BBQ one.
The cheese one was funnier. He did get some wins that year, but on the days where the losses counted most...he came up Stealth Cheese all three times.
@@benh3518the best part of the cheese one is that Dan is legitimately lactose intolerant now because of that calendar
@benh3518 the cheese one nearly killed him physically, while this year's calendars are killing him mentally....
@@benh3518 the sound bite "IT'S BLACK" still lives in my brain.

Dan destroying the Jigsaw made me irrationally angry.
At this point I feel the Military men are planning to give a speech at an American school on gun and road safety, hence the stop sign.
They're basically G.I Joe doing PSAs.
"I believe I knew your mother."
"Remember children, always remove the cotter pin before trying to swing the machine gun mount around"
Pork chop sandwiches!
It's the trump insurrectionists the q shaman is up tomorrow
"This is FREEDOM LAND, kids!!!! The only gun safety tip you need is to use both hands!!!! Now get out there and make shit go BOOM!!!!!! "
"sir, we appreciate you coming to give a talk today, but this is a Nursery..."
I was actually strangely relaxed by Ashens doing a jigsaw. It was like some weird ASMR 😂 well until someone...naming no names destroyed his fine handy work 😂
Wow Dan's working through some stuff today
dan has officially entered the "I fucking give up" phase.
You were saying about Santa dying, but in my local town they have a Santa's Grotto for the kids, and last week the Santa that was there died in the Grotto!
They had to drive an ambulance into the town centre (Pedestrianised so it's very obvious) and take the poor guy away.
I really hope there were no kids there at the time, they would be scarred for years!
Reminds me of when I witnessed a Womble being carried out of our local gala on a stretcher during the ‘76 heatwave.
With his 5th win today, Ashens cannot lose, even with Dan's extra day on Christmas. Dan must now play for the tie.
in this episode we see Dan finally snap 🤣
I'm amazed he lasted this long tbh! 🤣
The metal puzzle dan couldn't finish is a classic, really satisfying to get the two pieces apart.
seriously, this made me want to see two people solving two different puzzles while they both talk bullshit regularly now, find puzzle-y ones next year
seeing Ashens try to do a children's puzzle I firmly disagree, I don't think I could watch any more of that. Not jigsaws at least
Advent calendar of jigsaw puzzles, starting at 2×3 and ending at a 20'000 piece puzzle.
@@Liggliluffor a advent puzzle calendar where you get one piece a day

@@Liggliluff yeah but the 24 piece puzzle would be so frustratingly easy that it would make a great (or annoying) gag gift.
Dan’s increasing despair and despondent attitude is SO relatable this close to Christmas
If anyone's curious about the Mojave thing Dan mentions, there's a great video on People Make Games about it!
For a while, I thought he was talking about burning man. I thought it was a pretty weird description.
I think the Papua-New Guinea story is actually the plot to Dan's as yet unmade movie.
I audibly gasped when Dan messed up the puzzle but I am wishing so much we see it finished in the next one
I love how Nerdcubed got Mike Wazowski'd in the thumbnail XD
'I dont know what the fuck I'm looking at', as the actress said to the Bishop.
at least the grass masks are acknowledged.
also, what was my guess of the final? 0-6? i think we surpassed that.
I'm a reliable reindeer!
That military men calendar is genuinely nice. If I was a kid opening that I would love it.
For a moment I thought Dan was talking about Coachella. Because that screams dystopian to me 😂
This years advent really summs up how the whole year has been 😂
On the twentieth day of Advent, these two blokes gave to me
More friggin guns!
Soldier and some stickers
Soldier and plastic necklace
Soldier and a teapot
Bouncy slime and Tiara
Patrick Stewart!
The biggest pearl necklace
A plastic dog named Scruffy
Desert bloke and dragon
Bootleg Chip Hazard
Lame plastic wand!
Stealth Guy and lame horse
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
Dang, now I'm interested in seeing some Woozle Goozle!
The sad looking tree in the background 😁
There'd better be a military men calendar for next year; I'm deffo getting it if so.
I can't tell if Dan's drunk, lost the will to live or lost his marbles at this point. A friend who also watches commented that it was a good thing they don't get Barry to make 24 disasterous food stuffs as the forfeit calendar...I don't think a mini pizza made with carbon cheese would go down well...or up for that matter
i was so invested in seeing that woozle goozle puzzle completed... dan should be forced to eat a packet of spices or a brick of cheese for that!
Waited a whole 12 months for this.... never fails to give

I think we should send Dan a sympathy gift, like a get well for his trauma... But when he opens it, he sees we just got him another Barbie Calendar.
Things can always get worse, as proven by this second shite calendar we got you to remind you! Love it.
the Woozle Goozle Poozle
Dan! Not the jigsaw!!!
"Bag of Guns, A Christmas Gift From America" will continue after these messages.
This episode proves Dan was definitely that kid in school
I've had that wire puzzle before. Can confirm it's a good one
This is the first time I've seen anyone start a jigsaw puzzle in the middle. I'm feeling slightly upset.
I went from mildly amused to horrified as it went on 😂
the puzzle pieces remind me of Banjo-Kazooie, like how uniformly shaped they all are
For destroying that puzzle, Dan will receive karmic retribution.
If Dan buys me the LEGO Rivendell set I’ll illustrate his prison scenario
Go Ashens, Go! Go Ashens, Go!
Ashens not knowing how to put a puzzle together has destroyed me. Corners first mate, corners.
More like, a corner doesn't go in the places he tried to place corners in
What you're looking for in the Mojave is the Wasteland Festival, I highly recommend it, not been to the Cyber Punk one but the Fallout/Madmax one is amazing
If that army men advent calendar was a god id convert. It asnwers all prayers no questions asked.
Destroying a man's jigsaw puzzle? rood.
Weird of Dan to spoil the opening scene of Turn Back with the whole prison ramble
Does this mean Dan's going to develop a Tat Intolerance following on from his experience of previous punishment calendars?
He'll develop an allergy to the metal
She used to say, ‘It’s better to know you’ve lost than not to know you’ve won.’ Dear old Mum, she used to say some bloody stupid things.
and today we learned that Ashens is really bad at simple jigsaw puzzles.
I'd just walk around the desert with a wood furnished AR-15 going "Patrolling the Mohave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter."
I loved Dan planning his future just out of hate
honestly i'd have been stoked to go through the woozle goozle advent calendar as a kid i think! might just be german bias though
I wonder if Dan is the first person who ever wished that Barbie had her own bazooka ? :)
I found the calendar of the military men and it seems that JOYIN do some cracking calendars for 20 pounds, there was a diecast vehicles one too,
I genuinely got pissed off when Dan ruined the jigsaw puzzle LMAO
Well it seems Dan watched the People Make Games video on the Wastelander Weekend 😁
I am dubbing the OF&H calendar the "Only flaps and stickers" calendar.
Ashens, did you just rip the top off a snap lock bag? oh dear..
Dan got to admit he lost only by 5 and a lot ties
Poor Dan. Those were some real shit calendars
DQ Dan for puzzle destruction
Dan is talking about Burning Man btw
The Only Fools & Horses Advent Calendar is %100 the best calendar of all time 🤣
The comeback starts here
Let Stuart choose next year 😂😂
Dan - I can fix this for you: At least it's not the cheese calendar punishment this year! You would literally have been projectile vomiting cheese if it had been! 😀
2:57 "I've got to learn Papua New Guinean"
English is an official language in Papua New Guinea and is used in the court system.
Or you can learn one of the other 831 languages spoken there of which none is called Papua New Guinean.
I think Dan has been watching People Make Games before filming this
I am behind family stuff (went ice skating badness sort of happened) my aunt went with me and her fall

Shit, I just noticed the grass masks on the shelf
Well,Ashens wins by default!
I greatly appreciate the fact that Dan has one point guaranteed because the Only Fools calendar has a 25th day and will win by default, thus making the Only Fools calendar more efficient than the Barbie one in terms of scoring.
Grassmasks infestation is not a problem... You just need to get a cat.
"Now everyone's got a gun." Just like America
The sheer brass balls on them to sell that shite OF&H calendar for £25. You're doing a public service to be fair!
I demand a ukulele apology video from Dan for messing up Stewart's puzzle. Abhorrent behaviour in violation of the Christmas spirit!

Ashens was doing really well on that puzzle, proving why he's a Doctor, then the child came in and threw a fit and ruined it. LOL.. It was hilarious.
Any child can do a 20-piece jigsaw puzzle.

Ashen's could've started the jigsaw puzzle again and still beat Dan.
so the Military Men calendar has to be one of if not the best one they've had yeah?
That puzzle better be completed on the next video!
I actually wanted to see the puzzle.
When the punishment calendar gives you the better things, you must question the quality of these calendars
Any Barbie advent calendar short of having a full size Barbie every day would never have a chance with Dan and Stewart. 🤷♀️
The only fools and horses calendar as a good rating on Amazon wtf
I mean...that jigsaw puzzle is ok. It's not some shite 9 piece thing
