"Wow! What a great looking game recommended by SU&SD! I can't wait to buy it and fail at scheduling with my friends four times to eventually play it in three months and maybe again next year!"
@1:39 As a child, I convinced my younger brother to eat a gel from the packet. I recall him not wanting to because it said, "Do not eat". My counter argument was, "That warning is meant for animals". This argument swayed him, and he ate one.
They actually aren't toxic. The reason they have those label is because sometimes they're included in food packages, and they didn't want people thinking it was a seasoning packet.
I've been a monthly donor for quite a while and donate more whenever possible during the yearly drives, keep doing what you're doing, my collection wouldn't be the same without SUSD!
This channel has meant so much to me in the last few years in its quirky, passion-filled love for its hobby. I donated most of this year, but have had to stop due to changes in my financial situation, but I'll miss the bonus bits and newsletter - would recommend anyone thinking about it gives it a shot. Makes me happy thinking I've supported (even just a little bit) such a great year of boardgame content!
You guys have singlehandedly shaped the boardgame hobby for me. From when I discovered you about 5-6 years ago, you've changed the way I view and play boardgames and therefore the way I hang out with friends! Thank you so very much! I will continue donating. And to anyone who reads this. Please please please, throw some money at these people. They are good people.
Wow the first half reminded me of all SU&SD’s zany antics that had me subscribe so many years ago. Really love that their videos are so different than even *their* podcast. They really take advantage of the medium of video.
I had a great time meeting yall at PaxU!! I really appreciate the work you all do, and Emily continues to be a huge inspiration for me and my journey. I dont have the fund to support SUSD, but i look forward to being able to donate in the future. Thanks, yall!
been supporting in a small way for 5-6 years now. I don’t even play games anymore. There’s just not a time! One day, I will play one of these board games of which you speak .
Your passion and effort shines through in everything you guys put out. They're some truly wonderful people in the game review space but only one Shut Up and Sit Down, your humor and style always make my day. Hope everyone is able to have a blessed holidays!
I love your work and am so grateful for your passion and integrity in it all. I hope to be able to support you soon with donations. Ii would also love to hear you talk more in depth about your actual process, how your process from start to releasing a video looks like. ❤
Love what you do, as always ! You've definitely gotten me -and my friends - back into board games. My family is slowly grasping with the concept and accepting new type of cards as "real cards". Have you ever thought about doing a sort of online game with your supporters ? The french youtuber Mehdi Moussaïd (from the channel "Fouloscopie") recently did an crowd game of "who wants to be a millionaire", to easily explore crowd intelligence, and it was quite exciting ! Obviously there would be a lot of limitations to a game with a lot of people, but it's a subset of games that would be very interesting to explore.
Thank you for putting up with my awkward self at PAX U since 2018, and especially for making the day of a friend who I recently introduced to your channel. She was so excited to have a Reference Pear art with your signatures on it! I'll be going back with her next year.
I was so happy to bump into Matt at PaxU. What an awesome surprise. I am deeply sorry if me immediately shouting "HEY" at you startled you hahaha I was very excited!
Please take all the sweet sweet time you need to make whatever kind of videos about the board and card games that interest and inspirie you with all the SDUD style and humour that is so wonderfully entertaining. I am told that I have the patience of an angel, so no worries if you have to wait for the pneumatic drills to stop before you can make a video. Wishing you good health and success in 2025, (already looking forward to Worm Month)
Wait, you guys do board game reviews?!?! What!! Oh, also, you guys do absurd comedy. I honestly got into board games because I wanted my tabletop sessions to be as raucous and irreverent as your videos!
fun fact, it's completely healthy to eat those silica gel packets. They taste good and you feel like you can beat up all of your friends right before passing out when you eat one
Thank you for keeping the SUSD tradition of guaranteeing the right amount of component ratio of your collection that have once been put into your mouth
I got a shiver down my spine when I saw that card thrown into the ice And not because of the ice I mean, yes, because of the ice, but not because it's cold
ummm…. what was that intense look and head bobbing when he was “just looking at the pictures”? might need to get me a copy of an Undaunted rulebook. :P loved the converting sheep into victory points joke!
Board game purchasers also frequently imagine what it would be like to have a friend.
And sometimes they even imagine how it is to play their newest purchases... :P

Without a best friend, you can still have a closest acquaintance
That's why we watch the reviewers, we can pretend to be friends while they are pretending to have friends.

Thanks for sharing, that was great to read :D

I errupted with laughter at the line "I bet Rodney Smith doesn't have that one"
"The little worm" 😂
Same
The terrifying look behind the curtain I never knew I needed
I have donated because I believe in this channel. I will continue to do so any time I have the expendable funds to do so. Worth every penny.
How about some merch? I would love to show my love for you crasies to the world!
+1
You all bring me quite a bit of joy! Keep doing what you're doing!

THE best SU&SD donor appeal video EVAR. 💯 What is it with the ongoing magic of Matt + Tom | Tom + Matt | Mom Tatt? Fantastic.

Dang this was funny. Y'all continue to have fun and do your stuff. Love it all.
This is like a magician revealing his trick. I know I shouldn't watch, but I can't look away.
been supporting in a small way for 5-6 years now.
I don’t even play games anymore. There’s just not a time!
One day, I will play one of these board games of which you speak .
I don't think I can express how much I love you guys
Happy holidays people at SU&SD, you are well worth every donation you get.
That intro was marvelously hilarious, well done, gents. Wishing you all a wonderful xmas and new year.
Your passion and effort shines through in everything you guys put out. They're some truly wonderful people in the game review space but only one Shut Up and Sit Down, your humor and style always make my day. Hope everyone is able to have a blessed holidays!
I showed the Kniz kiss to everyone in my family after they heard me cracking up. The 3 year old thought it was hilarious.
SU&SD is still the Monty Python of Board game reviewers.
So true !
The level of charming insanity is off the charts in this one! I love that you keep on experimenting and staying passionate about the hobby!
Flavor profile is the whole reason I watch this channel over others
I love your work and am so grateful for your passion and integrity in it all. I hope to be able to support you soon with donations.
Ii would also love to hear you talk more in depth about your actual process, how your process from start to releasing a video looks like. ❤
Cancelled Disney, supported you chaps, and about time too. Congratulations you now have the same money as Disney.
Still enjoy a bunch of SUSD recommendations... love you guys
You kids are crazy and I love you. Also "I'm doing my part"!
No wonder he needs all those cups of tea, he’s completely dehydrated from all that silica gel!
Happy Christmas lads! You’re doing a grand job!
❤ great video - very happy to continue supporting the channel.
A merry Christmas to you blokes! ❤
We love you. Please keep doing what you do.

Look around you. Look around you. What's that? That's right, it's a satirical look at boardgame reviewers.
I kept expecting Peter Serafinowicz to pop up.
Shut Up & Take My Money. What a brilliant documentary! 😅
I LOVE this! So incredibly fun and well done 😂
Tom rockin' that pixel. Also, loved your videos for years and years, you guys are really true bastions of the board game hobby!
Looking forward to buying more 4 letter "best board game ever"s in 2025 Tom! (BTW you were right about Arcs, I love it.)
Amazing. You folks are the best.

This gives me Look Around You vibes
You guys are the best! I love your videos, you are all so entertaining
"Try fingers
but hole"
On the mail slot killed me. 10/10
Thank you for keeping us safe, board game reviewers! God bless you!
Jobby tough times definitely means something different up here in Scotland.
Matt is definitely on it in regards to quality. The level of excellence on this channel is frankly SUSd...
This was quite wonderful, thank you.
this isn't your normal content but i appreciate this so much. this is peak content.
lmao what an incredibly niche love letter to our hobby. thanks for all you do!
Good golly, bravo, you beautiful people. This is glorious.
Great intro guys - laugh out loud funny - I loved it!
I love what you guys do so much!
The hobby would be poorer without you. Well done guys. Merry Christmas.
I was so happy to bump into Matt at PaxU. What an awesome surprise. I am deeply sorry if me immediately shouting "HEY" at you startled you hahaha I was very excited!

I never thought I would see you guys eat so many board games pieces in one week, keep it up
Started watching 38 seconds after uploading. Love the content SUSD produces, couldn't click fast enough!
That was great. One of the funniest videos you’ve done
Oh fuck I'm cackling at Tom eating the silica, that's so incredibly funny
Loved seeing y’all at PAX!
Me 60% of the video: WTF is this? Really funny tho.
Me after that: Oh, that was actually a pretty clever setup. Love it ❤
Wehhhh love yall, you’ve been feeding us so good lately haha
This is an excellent video guys, I really enjoyed it
I love your content, and I will support in 2025, but I probably can't afford to own anymore boardgames 😢
While the whole first half of the video was hilarious, the part about counting sheep and converting them into victory points really got me.
Nice job. Keep it up. Proud of you.
Y'all are the best!
and happy things to you too, gentlemen
Wait, you guys do board game reviews?!?! What!! Oh, also, you guys do absurd comedy. I honestly got into board games because I wanted my tabletop sessions to be as raucous and irreverent as your videos!
Somehow I knew somebody was eating silicca gel in this video XD
fun fact, it's completely healthy to eat those silica gel packets. They taste good and you feel like you can beat up all of your friends right before passing out when you eat one
The joke about learning board games (yourself) making you sleepy has been the most seen I have felt this year
I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Thank you!
Merry Christmas you jolly old pears!
Man, now I want to see you guys review that Permission board game!
Missed you guys at PAX (if you went this year).
Happy holidays!
Hi I'm 30 seconds into this video and can say with 100% certainty that this is the content I crave
My copy-book is ready and I'm prepared to Look Around Me!
This was a very interesting video. Thanks for making it
As a biologist, I confirmed that pipette manangement is almost as tough as bunting specialist
Whimsical video, chaps
Feels like it's been a while since this channel featured eating of components. Good to see it back
Thank you for keeping the SUSD tradition of guaranteeing the right amount of component ratio of your collection that have once been put into your mouth
I like the Rodney Smith shot.. He's too adorable and good..
Oh the things these two had to eat for the sake of this video 😂😂😂
I wish i could take a long train to visit family... Sad from Canada...
There is something supremely entertaining about seeing you guys pretending to eat board gaming components. Somehow never gets old.
When your videos are too good, people assume you're financially doing well
I got a shiver down my spine when I saw that card thrown into the ice
And not because of the ice
I mean, yes, because of the ice, but not because it's cold
That little worm 🪱 ❤
I know this is purely educational content, so I’ll say thanks for the idea of highlighting rules books!
Who downvoted this!? You must be fun at game nights.
Natural vampiric properties. So true.
So damn good!
ummm…. what was that intense look and head bobbing when he was “just looking at the pictures”? might need to get me a copy of an Undaunted rulebook. :P loved the converting sheep into victory points joke!
In scotland "jobby tough times" means something quite different
That’s me reading Boardgame rules!! Best way of falling asleep …. Ludosomnulation,,,,?
I'm a human with life too!!! We should stick together, guys!
Beautiful.
"Jokes aside?" Am I the only one who kisses the good doctor good night every night?😮
