That half a second explosion of Dan blowing all four celebration kazoo things..needs to be used on new years as the clock strikes midnight Played all across the world on the biggest of screens
Slowed down to 0.25, it sounded like an elephant crying out before it got telefragged. Oh wait, that was the initial explosion. The second one was still cool, but not on the same level as the telefragged elephant.
When my mother and step dad got married, my siblings and I managed to arm every one of the guests with one of those noise makers. We told the guests not to show them at all until my mom and S.dad walked down the aisle after the marriage. Fortunately, everyone listened to the instructions, and all blew their horns at once, including us kids. It was amazing. Someone managed to capture my mom's and S.dad's expression on film and we still bring it up to this day. They got married back in 2004. Still one of my favourite moments.
The reason you hadn't heard of "A Poke in the Eye (with a Sharp Stick)" was that it was later renamed "Pleasure at Her Majesty's" for wide release, and was the forerunner to the "Secret Policeman's Ball" charity shows. Also, as of the day of this video's upload, thirteen of the twenty-one performers credited on the show's Wikipedia page are still alive (in credited order): John Cleese, Michael Palin, Alan Bennett, Barry Humphries, Eleanor Bron, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, John Bird, Jonathan Lynn, Graeme Garden, Bill Oddie, Desmond Jones (took some Googling to determine his status) and Carol Cleveland. Sadly departed are (also in credited order): John Fortune (1939-2013), Peter Cook (1937-1995), Graham Chapman (1941-1989), Terry Jones (1942-2020), Neil Innes (1944-2019), Tim Brooke-Taylor (1940-2020), Jonathan Miller (1934-2019), and Dudley Moore (1935-2002).
Seeing those explode out of Dan's face is exactly why it wouldn't be Christmas without the Ashens and Dan advent calendar videos. I love these series so much. Happy Birthday Stu
Happy Birthday Ashens. The song Happy Birthday is in the Public Domain now since 2015/2016. The song is in the public domain in the United States and the European Union. Warner Chappell Music had previously claimed copyright on the song in the US and collected licensing fees for its use; in 2015 the copyright claim was declared invalid and Warner Chappell agreed to pay back $14 million in licensing fees.
Happy Birthday, Stuart! May you cleverly entertain us for many more years! And then sell all the tat you have amassed and retire a wealthy man for many many more years after that!
I'm so glad I saw what was about to happen at 2:33 and decided against ingesting liquids because I burst out laughing. Then I imploded my spleen at "tiny maracas!" 'Tiny maracas, also my porn name' because I wasn't expecting it and did think it was safe to ingest wine... WORTH IT! 🤣
I genuinely thought Ashens was mid thirties, good for you. Happy (possibly belated) Birthday. You and Dan were two of the first youtube channels I watched, and probably the only two I continue to watch from those days
The 4 party blowers made me howl, the sound was orgasmic and when it flew out his mouth… 😂 Happy birthday Stuart, enjoy your private Eye. In fact, please do a review on it. 🥳
Happy birthday, and thanks for mentioning the year you were born in. I remember conversations I had with people back then. Now I feel very old... and very sad.
Private Eye used to be monthly?? Didn't know that; it's been fortnightly as long as I can remember as my dad has been getting them for yonks. Curious that it was thinner, too. Really does say something about the world if we can fill up two mags a month with all the outrageous goings-on!
Happy birthday Ashens! Thank you for brightening my dark Decembers, I very much appreciate you, even when you're not punishing yourselves with enough cheese to make your intestines cry.
Happy Birthday Stu, you man with an iron stomach and dodgy toxic plastic fumes in the lung! At this point you've probably had a longer youtube career than some of your viewers have been alive. May in continue for a long time!
Now I know why I enjoy Ashens so much- we share a birthday, so our sense of humor is so similar. Happy birthday Ashens. I ahead of you by quite a bit. By 27 years.
Happy Bday to ashen, he will never ever EVER know that he is the reason why i made a youtube channel and he was the one who made me grow some balls and actually do it, so happy birthday Ashens, u are a swell guy and u will never have an idea that thanks to u and ur video and the first video i saw of urs, the one about the sharpest knife, is the reason why i made this channel of mine and i admit, it did much more than expected, sure it is pitiful, but i swear, i thought the largest view count i would get was like 4 views and like 5 subs...so thanks again Ashens.
The party horn foursome was genuinely one of the most beautifully brilliant Advent Horror moments ever 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Or as Dan puts it, "birthday blower" foursome...
I honestly expected the truncated scream before they flew out of his mouth to replace the sound at the end of the video.
I want to see a slow motion replay!
I read this before I watched the video so I was expecting it but it was still incredible.
I was having an awful day, and this genuinely made me cry because I needed a laugh 😭😂
The Dan blower scream may be my favorite moment in the advent calendar series
Favourite moment
so far…
up there with the inflatable crown?
I love the fact that this was absolutely not filmed on Stuart's birthday.
Happy 46th birthday Stuart, you absolute legend. Thanks to you and Dan for helping to make Christmas tolerable. Yay, festive! 😁❤️
So hopefully still some years left until they have to take his pee away, then...
I had no idea that I was actually 1year older than him. My girlfriend is only six days older... what a small, birthday world!

The pure, unadulterated joy on Dan's face when he realised there were party horns was the best thing I've seen all day!

I'm now imagining a surreal birthday party where Ashens sits and reads a magazine whilst all his friends sit around him blowing party horns

Great fun album :-)
Seeing those explode out of Dan's face is exactly why it wouldn't be Christmas without the Ashens and Dan advent calendar videos. I love these series so much. Happy Birthday Stu
Dan blowing all 4 of them party blowers was the most terrifying moment in advent history, outside of the moments we must not speak about.
EVERY year I forget and then get pleasantly reminded that Ashens and I share a birthday! Happy Birthday, Mr. Ashens!!!
Sneaky way to say it's your birthday today.
Hope it's a miserable one.
Hope it's a good one this year and in the future, to both of you!
@@PlatonistAstronaut Thank you!
Happy birthday, Stuart. You don't look a day over 45! 🎉
Well, it's taken eleven years, but Stuart finally gets something good from an advent calendar on his birthday!! Happy birthday indeed!!!🎂🎉
That donkey was not that great.
Happy birthday, Ashens! Dan being the excited child at the birthday party with the party favors is delightful.
It's just so nice to see two people enjoying themselves freely.
That’s what I think when I look into my neighbours’ bedroom.
"Everyone's dead, except the ones who are still alive."
-Prof. Stuart Ashens
I was really hoping the outro fart was gonna be replace with Dan's first quadruble-toot attempt.
Happy Birthday Ashens.

Hmm, does the EU declaration extend into the British Isles or is that something else I'm thinking of?
@@Chaos89P It did at the time…
I'm astonished Dan was able to get a magazine from 1976 in good condition for only £1
1976.
"Nerdcubed blows 4 at once, explodes everywhere"
Well done Dan for blowing all four for all of .4 of a second. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Birthday greetings, Ashens! Considering how much horrific food you have ingested, you get special commendations for surviving this long. 🥳
Happy birthday Ashens, thank you so much for the decades of entertainment
"The personal ads in the back of Private Eye used to be amazing... hold on... this one is from my mum!"
Happy Birthday, Stuart! May you cleverly entertain us for many more years! And then sell all the tat you have amassed and retire a wealthy man for many many more years after that!
Happy birthday Stuart! That noisemaker explosion gave me the best laugh yet in these calender openings.
Omg I literally just spat my coffee out and choked when Dan blew all the party blowers! Funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time 😂
Happy One-Day-Late Birthday to you Stuart. How appropriate that the winning day should go to the calendar with the Party Horns. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
This episode has given me my new wallpaper. Dan the birthday blower
Had to pause the vid for a good 5 minutes after Dan's epic 4 horn outburst cause I was laughing so hard. Absolutely brilliant 😆
Same here. I had to time stamp it so I could come back and absolutely cry laugh until my stomach hurt 🤣
This is the best advent calendar series so far
Im definatly with Dan on this one. A 1976 copy of Private Eye beats 4 party blowers and 4 maracas hands down any day!!
An indirect kiss to fuel all the fanfic writers
Turns out Dan’s blowing skills are explosive. Ahhhhh, just in time for Stewart’s Birthday
Ashens is a year younger than my dad, would of never imagined that, happy birthday
Happy birthday, Stuart! That party blower explosion was all too perfect!
Happy birthday, Ashens!
The failed blowout made me chuckle
Happy birthday Ashens you magnificent bastard. May you have many more
2:35 one of the best advent calendar moments ever
I like how Stuart times these videos at exactly noon Mountain Standard time
1 pm where I am. Spent all morning stacking firewood as we prepare for the Winter Storm from Hell and this made a nice repast to kick back with.
Happy Birthday Ashens, thanks for blessing the internet with your sofa and tat for all these years!
Happy Birthday Ashens!
You can sing Happy Birthday now!
Happy birthday Stuart!
I'm so glad I saw what was about to happen at 2:33 and decided against ingesting liquids because I burst out laughing. Then I imploded my spleen at "tiny maracas!" 'Tiny maracas, also my porn name' because I wasn't expecting it and did think it was safe to ingest wine... WORTH IT! 🤣
Happy Birthday Ashens 🎉🎉
I had to back skip the party horn quad blowout twice, absolute gold 🤣
You can now sing happy birthday, it's been in the public domain for like half a decade now. BUT before it was Warner bros property.
Ashens: "at least i still got my hair"
Nerd: (points directly at a hair on my screen) "yea there it is"
Happy Birthday, Stuart! 🥂🎉🎂Live long and Prosper 🖖
Happy birthday Ashens 🎊
I think the Happy Birthday song is public domain now. So you could have actually sang it on video with no repercussions
The loud HA was as if Dan was laughing at Stuart because it’s his birthday.
Very true. The last claimed owner, Warner Chapel Music lost a copyright case in 2015, and now the song is inarguably public domain.
Happy Birthday Ashens
Joyous 46th natal anniversary felicitations!
I genuinely thought Ashens was mid thirties, good for you. Happy (possibly belated) Birthday. You and Dan were two of the first youtube channels I watched, and probably the only two I continue to watch from those days
Happy Birthday Ashens! Dan could not have picked a better present for you! 🎂🎂🎉🎉
The 4 party blowers made me howl, the sound was orgasmic and when it flew out his mouth… 😂
Happy birthday Stuart, enjoy your private Eye. In fact, please do a review on it. 🥳
Happy birthday, and thanks for mentioning the year you were born in.
I remember conversations I had with people back then. Now I feel very old... and very sad.
HA! Ashens may you have many many more.
happy birthday Ashens!
Happy birthday, Stuart!
With 0.25 speed, you can see how beautifully the party flutes flies out,
Happy birthday, Ashens, you beautiful tat-man!
Happy Birthday Stuart.
Private Eye used to be monthly?? Didn't know that; it's been fortnightly as long as I can remember as my dad has been getting them for yonks. Curious that it was thinner, too. Really does say something about the world if we can fill up two mags a month with all the outrageous goings-on!
Happy birthday, Ashens! The party blowers and tiny maracas were pretty cool!
I'm drunk and I lol'd a lot. Thanks christmas party spîrit men.
it's funny even if you're sober!
Happy belated birthday, Stu! I have been following you since you were in your early 30s...
A Poke in the Eye LP is on UA-cam. Dylan was a rabbit on Magic Roundabout. Happy Birthday. 🧁
Happy Birthday Stuart!
I really enjoy the format for today:
I got you something to celebrate me!
Me too!
Happy birthday Stuart!
Fantastic day!
Happy Birthday Ashens, from a fellow Birthday-Haver
Happy birthday Ashens! Thank you for brightening my dark Decembers, I very much appreciate you, even when you're not punishing yourselves with enough cheese to make your intestines cry.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHENS!!!!
Happy birthday Ashens! I hope you had a wonderful day with lots of prezzies and cake!
Happy birthday, Ashens.
And Dylan was the rabbit, Dougal was the dog.
Happy Birthday Stu, you man with an iron stomach and dodgy toxic plastic fumes in the lung!
At this point you've probably had a longer youtube career than some of your viewers have been alive. May in continue for a long time!
Happy birth jesusmas Stuart 🎉
Happy Birthday Stuart!!!!
I swear it's another tie today...
Dan being so super happy and then spitting out the party horns were funny!
4:46 Live-action Zoidberg is very different from how I imagined him
Happy cake day, Stuart sir! ❤️🎂
Happy birthday old man. 😁
everyday I forget if I watched the day before, but I did
Happy birthday Stuart 🎂
looking good for 46, happy birthday!
Dan really put a lot of thought into his calendar, didn't he?!
Happy birthday Ashens ! :)
When he read "Gay Away" I thought that was going to be a very different kind of ad. Lol
4:44
"Gay way"
*party horn explosion*
Happy birthday Ashens! This has so far been the best advent thing ever. We love you
Now I know why I enjoy Ashens so much- we share a birthday, so our sense of humor is so similar. Happy birthday Ashens. I ahead of you by quite a bit. By 27 years.
Happy Bday to ashen, he will never ever EVER know that he is the reason why i made a youtube channel and he was the one who made me grow some balls and actually do it, so happy birthday Ashens, u are a swell guy and u will never have an idea that thanks to u and ur video and the first video i saw of urs, the one about the sharpest knife, is the reason why i made this channel of mine and i admit, it did much more than expected, sure it is pitiful, but i swear, i thought the largest view count i would get was like 4 views and like 5 subs...so thanks again Ashens.
Happy birthday Stuart! Thank you and Dan for making these each year, I've loved them all!
Nerdcubed is so easily amused. :D
Happy birthday Stuart 🥳
Happy Birthday Stuart! A book as old as you!
