  • So In his response to JT's fact rap challenge, it seems Dan Bull issued his own! And who am I to turn him down?
    Board games were a pretty big part of my growing up and I still play a lot of Scrabble to this day, so this was a real blast to put together! Sure, it's kinda long (I have very little self control when writing...) But I hope you enjoy!
    A huge thanks to Eskelater for the beats and to both him and my pal Reece for appearing in the video with me and for giving up their weekends to put up with the laborious shooting process!

    Realizations of each of the Chairman's forms:
    - Monopoly Chairman's wine had a Monopoly buck in it (of what type, I can't tell), implying that he has made enough money through the game alone that he doesn't care about wasting it. He also had multiple hotels on one space - either a cheat tactic or a homebrew rule, either way it makes for a "corrupt businessman" feel perfectly.
    - The Scrabble Chairman had a dictionary right next to him - a rhyme dictionary, to be precise, but a dictionary nonetheless. Scrabble form of the Chairman had access to a dictionary, i.e. he was cheating. Also explains how he seemingly just casually knew the words using Z, Q, etc.
    - The Clue Chairman's dark puns, as well as having the wrench right next to him, is foreshadowing that he is the killer. He probably knew it in the first place, in fact, but if he managed to successfully condemn Mr. Green, he was likely to get away with it. Unfortunately, the other two players had the cards to prove that the Clue Chairman was lying.

    [intro]
    Roll up and put down your controller
    Forget the C.O.D
    The table top is what the call's of
    So grab some paper and start taking down the scores
    But don't forget you're up against the chairman of the board
    [spoken]
    Right then! Games night everyone! What's up first? I know what my money's on
    [verse 1]
    If you're into causing a family schism
    Consider some table-top capitalism
    A battle of balances, man I'm so talented
    Mopping up profits with Randian callousness
    Isn't much use for financial analysis
    Banks are all froze in the throes of paralysis
    Golly, it's very nice crushing the parasites
    Man I'm in paradise give me a pair of dice
    I hold 'em, I blow 'em, I roll them
    I'm strolling my token right over the Go
    And I'm folding the dough
    Then I'm throwing down homes
    On my portfolio
    My monopoly grows
    You won't topple me no
    I'm a polished demolisher
    Dropping hotels right on top of my foes
    If you're stopping your boat on my property know
    That it's probably honestly gonna be
    More than the cost of the whole of the global economy
    So you should just stop and just offer me
    All of your keys and your dog
    Well you could call it a robbery
    You can't afford an apology
    All your accountants would flounder and wobble
    The top of my profits would boggle a monarchy
    Stopping me, ha, take me to court
    All that I'm making I'm taking abroad
    It's tucked under the board
    So send me to jail and then
    Pay off my bail with your rent
    Have you thought about having your assets absorbed?
    Extorting the poor whilst cutting the cord at community beauty awards
    You pitifully bid in futility
    I've got the roads and the rails and utilities
    So bring the waterworks
    Your tears will oil the gears of my infamy
    Kid in the living room sat on the floor
    Imagining I'm on the cover of Forbes
    I'm turning this city upside down
    Which really amounts to you flipping the board
    [spoken]
    Now I know nobody likes a loot box economy. But I think we can all agree on a community chest. Hm?
    [hook]
    Roll up and put down your controller
    Forget the Steam sale, I'ma steam roll ya'
    Those twelve-year-olds on Xbox Gold may bolster up your scores
    But now my friend, you're up against a chairman of the board
    [spoken]
    Think you can beat me? Winning is my middle name! Which does not make it a proper noun
    [verse 2]
    Have you heard the word upon the street?
    That nerds prefer our words discreetly
    Neatly placed upon a sheet when we compete
    Words With Friends is for the weak
    A cheap pretender to the peak
    Of wordy splendour
    Classic Scrabble can unleash
    Except, you see
    It never leaves me satisfied
    When standard boards are utilized
    I play my scrabble super-sized
    It makes the points quadruple-ise
    This ancient mosaics not half as prosaic
    As when I am placing my tiles in amazing displays
    Every play a foray in intrinsic ballistic linguistic forte
    I'm a dictionary kicking my score into space
    Or at least to the corners a double word score is for paupers
    I'm playing for triple or more stacking multiple multiples up on the board
    In a single retort to your pitiful awful attempts, it's a bore
    No, the pen and the sword couldn't ever compare to the weapons I've brought to the fore
    Seven letters is all I need to do more for literature
    Than Dickens or Shakespeare could ever have brought
    My lexicon's better than anything ever attempted before
    With clever and eloquent spelling galore
    Whatever the letters you're giving me
    Fiddly glyphs? I administer liberally
    I play a Q or a Z like a symphony
    Giving you quixotry, quartzy or syzygy wizardry
    Slinging these nouns and verbs
    Sticks and stones might be preferred
    So to sum up the rhymes you've heard?
    Face it you couldn't find the words
    [spoken]
    Aha! Victory is mine! Which uses all seven tiles and gets me a fifty point bonus
    [hook]
    Roll up and put down your controller
    And if you must bring mountain dew be sure to use a coaster
    Your gamer tag may jangle with achievements and awards
    But now my friend you're up against the chairman of the board
    [spoken]
    I thank you all for coming this evening. I hear the traffic was murder
    [verse 3]
    I suppose you're wondering why I've gathered you all here tonight
    A murder has occurred and I'll be first to shed some light (oh my)
    Now Mister Black is on the ground
    A victim of a crime most foul
    I put to you that here and now
    Within this crumbling country house
    Amongst this strange and sundry crowd
    A murderer is on the prowl
    Leave it to me to tell you how
    The heinous deed was carried out
    This melting pot has overboiled
    Watch out, you'll get your loafers soiled
    I've a dastard foe to fail
    And I'm not half a Conan-Doyle
    I'll tackle the clues through this gaggle of rooms
    There's no slacking to do when I'm tracking the truth
    I'm an accurate sleuth with immaculate proof
    I investigate better than Agatha could
    Did the blaggard attack with a candle or noose?
    Or was it the spanner he actually used?
    This manor is packed with all manner of tools
    Although Hasbro have had the hatchet removed
    For enacting a plan of dispatching a fool
    The plan that was hatched was both heartless and cruel
    In the garden, the pantry, the parlour, the pool
    The rooms will depend on the board that you use
    Hold it, I've solved it
    I know for certain that the culprit
    Used the colonel's old revolver
    Stolen from the drawer that holds it
    In hte kitchenc fingers itching
    On the trigger, chamber loaded
    And I say I want it noted
    Reverend Green's the one who pulled it
    But I've got the gun
    And I've got that scene
    Which instantly vindicates poor Mister Green
    But with all that is left on the board it would seem
    To infer that the murderer must have been me
    [spoken]
    Oh dear. It appears I've made a grave mistake
    [hook]
    Roll up and put down your controller
    Forget hyrule I'm a high roller
    You may be a master with a blaster or a sword
    But now my friend you're up against a chairman of the board
    [outro, spoken]
    I tell you. If I had a pound for every game of Monopoly I've won I could buy... well, another game of Monopoly probably
    I see you're drawing a blank. Which you can use in place of any other letter!
    We should really stop now. I think we've done this joke to death

    The lyrics are great, the impersonations on point, and I find it quite fascinating how you managed to make one and the same curtain become three different places/surroundings. It gives an impression of the effects you are capable of creating already by relatively simple means - looking at your more recent videos, I find it great to see that their growing technical complexity has not diminished your mastery of every detail. The newer ones might be more impressive, but they are in a way as... wholesome as this earlier work.
    Fascinating. I originally intended to comment on the ends of your moustache pointing up in the video irregularly (I read a lot Poirot lately), and I wanted to see if anybody already mentioned that in the comments, and then I saw that you actually read the comments and respond to serious ones, and that there is actually a nice atmosphere going on here, and then I wrote all this.

    *Well, a Monopoly game is 3 dollars. Converting that to pounds equates to about two bucks. Judging by the probably in the Stupendium's voice, the highest amount of games he could've won in Monopoly would have to be thrice, because he'd get a pound for each game of monopoly won.*

    Wait were some of the words on the scrabble board even legal words?
    also love that a Rhyming Dictionary was on the table not a regular dictionary.

    • @TheStupendium
      @TheStupendium  6 років тому +50

      They are all legal but one (Tnetennba is a reference to an impossible word sort of joke from a TV show), though not all of them are legal within the same Scrabble rule sets, drug names for example are only allowed in certain competitions. Many of them hold records for the highest scoring words ever played in competition scrabble. However most of them are played in ways that aren't technically possible here, they would require more letters pre-placed as parts of other words to be able to be placed. So in short all of the words (bar one) could be played, though not necessarily in the way they are played on this board. :)
      Glad someone picked up on the dictionary, I was very happy with myself when I thought of that. xD

    I was so psyched when I saw "The Chairman rides again," until I realized he was only talking about Scrabble. Don't get me wrong, I love Scrabble, but I really was hoping to see a sequel with different games than the first. Like maybe one with Risk, Catan, and some Munchkins or Smash-Up (Munchkins and Smash-Up are a little more obscure, but they are probably my favorite board games right now, if you can call them board games, since they don't have a board?). That would be really awesome to see him cover a few more different games!

    Lyrics for this great song
    Roll up and put down your controller
    Forget the C.O.D
    The table top is what the call's of
    So grab some paper and start taking down the scores
    But don't forget you're up against the chairman of the board
    Right then! Games night everyone! What's up first? I know what my money's on
    If you're into causing a family schism
    Consider some table-top capitalism
    A battle of balances, man I'm so talented
    Mopping up profits with Randian callousness
    Isn't much use for financial analysis
    Banks are all froze in the throes of paralysis
    Golly, it's very nice crushing the parasites
    Man I'm in paradise give me a pair of dice
    I hold 'em, I blow 'em, I roll them
    I'm strolling my token right over the Go
    And I'm folding the dough
    Then I'm throwing down homes
    On my portfolio
    My monopoly grows
    You won't topple me no
    I'm a polished demolisher
    Dropping hotels right on top of my foes
    If you're stopping your boat on my property know
    That it's probably honestly gonna be
    More than the cost of the whole of the global economy
    So you should just stop and just offer me
    All of your keys and your dog
    Well you could call it a robbery
    You can't afford an apology
    All your accountants would flounder and wobble
    The top of my profits would boggle a monarchy
    Stopping me, ha, take me to court
    All that I'm making I'm taking abroad
    It's tucked under the board
    So send me to jail and then
    Pay off my bail with your rent
    Have you thought about having your assets absorbed?
    Extorting the poor whilst cutting the cord at community beauty awards
    You pitifully bid in futility
    I've got the roads and the rails and utilities
    So bring the waterworks
    Your tears will oil the gears of my infamy
    Kid in the living room sat on the floor
    Imagining I'm on the cover of Forbes
    I'm turning this city upside down
    Which really amounts to you flipping the board
    Now I know nobody likes a loot box economy. But I think we can all agree on a community chest. Hm?
    Roll up and put down your controller
    Forget the Steam sale, I'ma steam roll ya'
    Those twelve-year-olds on Xbox Gold may bolster up your scores
    But now my friend, you're up against a chairman of the board
    Think you can beat me? Winning is my middle name! Which does not make it a proper noun
    Have you heard the word upon the street?
    That nerds prefer our words discreetly
    Neatly placed upon a sheet when we compete
    Words With Friends is for the weak
    A cheap pretender to the peak
    Of wordy splendour
    Classic Scrabble can unleash
    Except, you see
    It never leaves me satisfied
    When standard boards are utilized
    I play my scrabble super-sized
    It makes the points quadruple-ise
    There's ancient mosaics not half as prosaic
    As when I am placing my tiles in amazing displays
    Every play a foray in intrinsic ballistic linguistic forte
    I'm a dictionary kicking my score into space
    Or at least to the corners a double word score is for paupers
    I'm playing for triple or more stacking multiple multiples up on the board
    In a single retort to your pitiful awful attempts, it's a bore
    No, the pen and the sword couldn't ever compare to the weapons I've brought to the fore
    Seven letters is all I need to do more for literature
    Than Dickens or Shakespeare could ever have brought
    My lexicon's better than anything ever attempted before
    With clever and eloquent spelling galore
    Whatever the letters you're giving me
    Fiddly glyphs? I administer liberally
    I play a Q or a Z like a symphony
    Giving you quixotry, quartzy or syzygy wizardry!
    Slinging these nouns and verbs
    Sticks and stones might be preferred
    So to sum up the rhymes you've heard?
    Face it you couldn't find the words
    Aha! Victory is mine! Which uses all seven tiles and gets me a fifty point bonus
    Roll up and put down your controller
    And if you must bring mountain dew be sure to use a coaster
    Your gamer tag may jangle with achievements and awards
    But now my friend you're up against the chairman of the board
    I thank you all for coming this evening. I hear the traffic was murder
    I suppose you're wondering why I've gathered you all here tonight
    A murder has occurred and I'll be first to shed some light (oh my)
    Now Mister Black is on the ground
    A victim of a crime most foul
    I put to you that here and now
    Within this crumbling country house
    Amongst this strange and sundry crowd
    A murderer is on the prowl
    Leave it to me to tell you how
    The heinous deed was carried out
    This melting pot has overboiled
    Watch out, you'll get your loafers soiled
    I've a dastard foe to fail
    And I'm not half a Conan-Doyle
    I'll tackle the clues through this gaggle of rooms
    There's no slacking to do when I'm tracking the truth
    I'm an accurate sleuth with immaculate proof
    I investigate better than Agatha could
    Did the blaggard attack with a candle or noose?
    Or was it the spanner he actually used?
    This manor is packed with all manner of tools
    Although Hasbro have had the hatchet removed
    For enacting a plan of dispatching a fool
    The plan that was hatched was both heartless and cruel
    In the garden, the pantry, the parlour, the pool
    The rooms will depend on the board that you use
    Hold it, I've solved it
    I know for certain that the culprit
    Used the colonel's old revolver
    Stolen from the drawer that holds it
    In hte kitchenc fingers itching
    On the trigger, chamber loaded
    And I say I want it noted
    Reverend Green's the one who pulled it
    But I've got the gun
    And I've got that scene
    Which instantly vindicates poor Mister Green
    But with all that is left on the board it seem
    To infer that the murderer must have been me
    Oh dear. It appears I've made a grave mistake
    Roll up and put down your controller
    Forget hyrule I'm a high roller
    You may be a master with a blaster or a sword
    But now my friend you're up against a chairman of the board
    I tell you. If I had a pound for every game of Monopoly I've won I could buy... well, another game of Monopoly probably
    I see you're drawing a blank. Which you can use in place of any other letter!
    We should really stop now. I think we've done this joke to death
