Barry was actually right. Stuart and Barry had different coloured fish. No two colours have the same value. Because Stuart had 3 fish to Barry's 1, Stuart will always have the highest magnitude score (which if you're unfamiliar means ignoring negative signs and treating all values as positive) no matter what the values of the fish are. In terms of magnitude, the lowest Stuart can score is 3 ( |3 x -1| = |3 x 1| ), while the highest Barry can have is 2 ( |-2| = |2| ). ( |n| means "magnitude" or "absolute value" of n.) If the fish values are positive then the highest magnitude score wins (e.g. 3 > 2), but if the fish values are negative then the highest magnitude score loses (e.g. -3 < -2). So the only thing deciding who wins is whether the fish values are positive or negative. If Barry and Stuart both have POSITIVE value fish then HENS WINS. If Barry and Stuart both have NEGATIVE value fish then BARS WINS. If Barry has POSITIVE and Stuart has NEGATIVE then BARS WINS. If Barry has NEGATIVE and Stuart has POSITIVE then HENS WINS. Barry was correct. He had a 50:50 chance of winning.
Haven’t watched yet but #BarryWillBeRobbed EDIT: They changed the rules last second by changing red fish to -1 to let Barry win so as to appease the hoards of Barry supporters, thus robbing him of his dignity and a chance to play honourably #BarryWasRobbed
If my CheapShow knowledge is as sharp as it should be, I believe Eli's Dad actually told him that joke, so I'd just like to thank Eli's parents for bringing a national treasure into the world ♥, also #BarryWasRod
Alex Everett-last in this circumstance people like Eli can bounce off the other people's personalities and make jokes but in stand up you have no one really to target your jokes to and make a funny conversation with. I probably explained that badly but I hope I get my point across.
Tomasz Losinski I think OP was being sarcastic, because that joke Eli told was pretty bad. It had potential but it was way too long to have such an underwhelming punchline. However, you are definitely correct.
Samantha Port On the other hand, had he only dragged it out for a minute or two longer still and introduced a second storyline with no bearing on the joke, it would be a decent Norm MacDonald act.
Holy hamburglers. .I was just about to pause the video to go into a long conspiracy theory dialog about how this game was arbitrarily thought up to maintain. .or establish 😅. .some sort of competition between Stuart and Barry. .and then Stuart looks at the camera and says exactly what I was pondering thus far. . .eerie #MysticStu
I'm pleased to notice that you decided against the idea of fishing items out of a toilet. This was mentioned in an early Barshens 'Sharticles' episode (Sharticles ep.6 at 03:30, by the way) And what do you call a fish with no eyes? 'Fsh...' Suit yourselves.
The cake is a lie, but not the one from Portal, it's a much older lie from the time when 3ds Max was called 3D Studio MAX (R2). It's my own lie, the lie of my life. I made it when I was young, had hopes and believed I could learn 3D animation.
Boy, that got depressing. It's not rocket science, grab a couple tutorials and make some stuff you probably won't get a job in the industry but it can still be a fulfilling hobby.
Can I get a #StuartWasRobbed tag going? I mean, it was entirely up to chance, buuut… _Also,_ I want to say that I laughed so hard, at Eli's joke, that I probably woke the neighbors.
I really want Eli to narrate my boring life. It’d make it interesting for a start! Also, the family friendly content parts and that awful joke at the end were both bloody stonking! #BarryWasRodded
To all the people coming over from Ashen’s channel because he actually told you about the channel and you were bitching about him not doing videos with Barry. welcome and enjoy
Eli is a national... something. His jokes have amplitude.
They're very modular, are Eli's jokes
QUALITY
Dawwwwh you beat me to it
Optimus Princeps Bob Boblington They could be weaponised and used on our enemies.
Agreed. 1st prize.
I remember Eli's "Great Stupendo" joke from Cheapshow. I'm surprised Paul let him tell it again.
Same, yet I was still let down once again.
What is cheapshow and where can I watch / listen to it?
www.thecheapshow.co.uk
I thought it was funny. There’s art in a non-joke.
Don't suppose anyone knows what episode it was from of cheap show?
Barry - "I got a 50/50 chance"
I think those are the best odds he's ever had on one of these games.
I may be wrong, but I feel like Barry's maths was off. How did he have a 50/50 chance if Stuart had more fish?
Barry was actually right.

He did the maths, the madman.
The joke at the end - an absolute masterpiece! :D
The throwaway cancer joke at the start 2 weeks after the Karl tribute though, Barry's face says it all.
Lou Ferringnome Wouldn't this likely been recored way before that though?
You spelled terrible wrong.
They film episodes in batches so it was probably filmed before Karl passed.
Tribute to Karl who?
my biggest dream is to listen to David Attenborough narrate an Eli in the wild.
BobTerje I thought David was dead?
+Gabriel McKee What? No. David is alive. His brother Richard is the one who is dead.
Gabriel McKee Oh no, you've said it now
Pissflaps
“They’re gonna be fishing, or angling.... there’s some fish?”
It’s chill Eli, we’re already sold

Barshens is the best part about Fridays
Cousin Dan's face is everything at the end
If my CheapShow knowledge is as sharp as it should be, I believe Eli's Dad actually told him that joke, so I'd just like to thank Eli's parents for bringing a national treasure into the world ♥, also #BarryWasRod
#barrywasrod
Oh my gosh, I had that toy when I was young! I did not catch them with a rod in my mouth...but still! :D
Many children did. It's a common toy, it's very cheaply made so you can get them for cheap which means a lot of parents buy them.
Yep, Me too.
so did i, was alot of fun.
I had a mini version.
Who didn't have that toy as a kid😊
I had a drink in my mouth and suddenly ‘labia fish’. God damn it, Eli, you owe me a bottle of water
How did you have an entire bottle's worth of water in your mouth at once?
I wonder why Eli ever stopped doing stand up comedy...
Alex Everett-last in this circumstance people like Eli can bounce off the other people's personalities and make jokes but in stand up you have no one really to target your jokes to and make a funny conversation with. I probably explained that badly but I hope I get my point across.
Tomasz Losinski I think OP was being sarcastic, because that joke Eli told was pretty bad. It had potential but it was way too long to have such an underwhelming punchline. However, you are definitely correct.

Watched to see Eli, Best part of a Friday evening ☺️
Oh I loved this game as a kid! It's rare I get nostalgia on a Barshens video but this did it!
proper oldschool bars v hens me so happy
Family friendly and Eli joke at the end 😂😂😂😂
That look on Ryans face at the end sums it all up😂
Ryan's face at the end. Just that pure look of "no".
It's a shame there isn't a zero point fish. It could have been called the Nil Poisson
Encore?
#StillBetterThanElisJoke
I don't think Eli will do well as a stand up comic, unless he just walks on, says "Labia fish" and walks off again... :P
I think hes done stand up
"Just to pick up one fish would be a massive acompliment."
Yes Barry. Yes it would.
Today on barshens: Barry and Stuart put funnily colored rods in their mouths and play with their toy.
I'm looking forward to the next episode of the "Animal in body cavity"-franchise.
Holy hamburglers. .I was just about to pause the video to go into a long conspiracy theory dialog about how this game was arbitrarily thought up to maintain. .or establish 😅. .some sort of competition between Stuart and Barry. .and then Stuart looks at the camera and says exactly what I was pondering thus far. . .eerie
#MysticStu
He's done it, the boyhood dream has come true!!!!
I lost minutes of my life listening to Eli’s joke that I might need. Still absolutely worth it.
Eli is the kind of guy who calls his mom _Mother_ .
He hasn't got a mom, he's got a mum.
He hasn't got a mum, I think paul found him growing between a homeless mans toes.
I remember Beadle, and his one tiny hand.
Masturbation must have done wonders for his confidence.
Gotta give him a hand...he cant use his own after all..
But it's somehow not in a respectful way.
It’s too short! Damn it I demand an hour barshens every Friday!
you ever thought of doing any improv games ala whose line is it anyways?
Holy carp! Barry actually one something!!
There was about a 50/50 chance of winning... Even at those odds I thought he would lose. I think it was rigged.
just can't get enough of barshens. weird innit
Eli that Joke was a master piece and I might steal that for parties XD
The end part shows what eli meant about not being funny enough for stand up :D LOL
I was cheering Barry on and he finally won something!
I'm pleased to notice that you decided against the idea of fishing items out of a toilet. This was mentioned in an early Barshens 'Sharticles' episode (Sharticles ep.6 at 03:30, by the way) And what do you call a fish with no eyes? 'Fsh...' Suit yourselves.
According to Kids Write Jokes - “Dead.”
I though the answer was "fishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Gannon is in his element again, which is fine as long as he's out of shot :P
I remember seeing this things out of K-B Toys being demonstrated in Malls in America.
This is all I need on a Friday evening, after doing my English Language 2, and History 2 GCSE papers...
THANK YOU, BARSHENS, I'm alive, now.
Eli's story should be made into a movie
FAMILY FRIENDLY CONTENT!
It has been incredibly rewarding watching Eli slowly fall apart.
Was that a joke Eli told at he end? If so, then the delivery was great, I should know, because I'm an expert.
What's the joke with your avatar? Is it that the cake is a lie? It's funny because it's from a video game.
The cake is a lie, but not the one from Portal, it's a much older lie from the time when 3ds Max was called 3D Studio MAX (R2). It's my own lie, the lie of my life. I made it when I was young, had hopes and believed I could learn 3D animation.
Boy, that got depressing. It's not rocket science, grab a couple tutorials and make some stuff you probably won't get a job in the industry but it can still be a fulfilling hobby.
Samantha Port Username checks out
gustavrsh You got the joke!
"I wish Ashen's and Barry did more videos together"
Troll lol lol =P
I love how the only way Barry can ever win is usually because of random chance.
Eli is morphing into one of the late 80's WWF tag team the Headshrinkers lol
Eli's joke at the end is so Norm MacDonald
Labia fish!
I laughed, Eli.
I laughed, but not at the joke itself. I laughed at how terrible it was.
#barrywasntrobbed
Every time Stuart is robbed, Barry is robbed of a meaningful victory.
No wonder Eli is no longer a stand-up comedian.
Do not cross the streams! Oh wait a minute, don't touch rods.
How was the great Stupendo not named the great Bellendo?
Eli reminds me a bit of a somewhat older Ross Jennings from the band Haken.
That looks like a fun drinking game, you drink when your opponent catches a fish.
I call shenanigans!
*Sees notification*
#barrywasrobbed
#barrywasrod
I thought I was in the clear after the last video lol but nope. Chaque vidéo est et sera Don Hill! XD
Eli is hilarious!
Can I get a #StuartWasRobbed tag going?
I mean, it was entirely up to chance, buuut…
_Also,_ I want to say that I laughed so hard, at Eli's joke, that I probably woke the neighbors.
Eli, you tell jokes worse than I do, that's quite an achievement.
A Game of Fish
I'm pretty sure Stuart knew the red would lose points. He's probably sick of winning lol
The music reminded me of Paul Koulak's music. Great moody stuff.
🦗 - Eli's Joke
"the comeback is on"
Woah now Barry what happened to family friendly content
Just wanna say, I liked Eli's Great Stupendo joke. Though I have a feeling I've heard it before.
Better intro:
"Today in Bars vs Hens they try to grab fish of a pool with big rods on their mouths"
As soon as I heard the beginning of elis end section I knew where it was going. He told the same story on the cheapshow podcast
I liked it haha
I really want Eli to narrate my boring life. It’d make it interesting for a start! Also, the family friendly content parts and that awful joke at the end were both bloody stonking! #BarryWasRodded
#AshensWasRobbed
YAY for BARRY!
Now THIS is how you get views.
0:50 That was in really poor taste Eli, like really bad.
How so?
Ohhhhh because of Karl. They filmed in batches and that was filmed before Karl had passed.
Get over yourself
Whoever designed Eli's shirt must've gotten their phone stuck in a kaleidoscope at some point in their life
To all the people coming over from Ashen’s channel because he actually told you about the channel and you were bitching about him not doing videos with Barry. welcome and enjoy
an excellent joke
during that last bit i thought eli was about to tell the aristocrats joke
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌 Well Said Eli!
THE COMEBACK IS COMING ;P
This video didnt show up in my feed
I don't know how hard it is to create but...a Barshens Generation Game? :D
I think the best strategy is to go for 2 colours. That way you only lose out if they are BOTH negative.
Does Eli do parties?My nephew is turning 8 next week and with jokes like that he'd be a hit.
You should show bono doing the carpets some time.
i love you so much linton
If Eli is going to keep that mustache you need to dress him up like Mario.
Eli forgot his pants didn't he
Two of my favorite youtubers, smoking pole at last.
Do you guys have a PO box? I have a board game which is positively disappointing and I'd love to get rid of it.
FINALLY! #BarryHasDoneIt
The Ad I got before the video was for a fish burger at a burger chain called A&W.
Appropriate.
Wank to it?
Anyone else think that if Eli grew a longer beard, he'd look like Richard Stallman's twin brother?
Fish family content. 🐟🐡🎣
#barrywasrod
We were all robbed. Having to listen to Eli's joke
This time it was Eli who was robbed!!
LOL, what is that stain Eli is hiding on the front of his shirt?
The French lesson at the end of the Patreon credits. Woo hoo! (Am I over-selling it?)
