[@ElGordoSupreme]

The two color blind people at Giant Bomb have to guess flavors by color. Fate works in mysterious ways.

[@KamasamaK]

They really shouldn't have to, but Dan was just being... Dan. Also, they're the only ones there who don't seem to like Skittles.

[@RonnieBarzel]

"Skittles...M&Ms for trash people."
I've followed Jeff since his Gamespot days, and can't think of a time I agreed with him and Vinny more.

[@egeakgun]

"alex's anime girl is crying. that can't be good"

[@MrSeagallo]

The framing on Ben is hilarious.

[@L1ama]

he's tall

[@AwkwardLoser]

So weird that this is adult life for some people really hope youse guys appreciate your jobs this is wonderful

[@theJoelness]

The Skittle portion 😂😂😂

[@GreeneSniper]

I was dying. Like why are they guessing colors?!?

[@bemaod]

I hope this stays as a yearly tradition!

[@Sinastyr]

The paper airplane part reminded me of when Drew shot bow and arrow in the office

[@jsc315]

This is dumb and insane and I love it! Thank you.

[@dohertyaaron]

Thank you for the Christmas vids, GB!
It's heartwarming to have you be part of everyone's holiday celebrations.

[@Silver_Warden]

I'm waiting for Hitsmas 2019 more than I'm waiting for the actual Christmas.

[@Armaan8014]

I haven't watched anything related to / played Hitman 2 yet I wanna watch these guys play through it first

[@KamasamaK]

I hope you had a nice Christmas anyway.

[@RobVespa]

I love how the tall gentleman's head was cut out of the frame. Very nice. Ha. Happy holidays!

[@XenoKay88]

it's shows like this that make me wanna just hang out with all these guys, and gal

[@kasekage11]

1:22:11 i love how in this moment you can see dan thinking: "how can i cheat this ?"
your waluigi is showing Dan !

[@MrSonicDoctor]

The best part of these christmas specials, is all the adorable sweaters they all wear.

[@giggs2154]

I love Will Smith's distorted face on Vinny

[@keeper0754]

Skittles - they're like M&Ms for trash people!

[@CorgiShinobi]

Skittles was my favorite.

[@SolarbearChiptune]

Oops all gokus

[@jsc315]

That should be the sequel

[@dannik82]

"There's not a single Goku on his team" lol i loved that part so much !

[@pimpdady246]

This was an amazing video and I'm gonna go watch last year's. Keep it up!

[@Armaan8014]

This was great

[@thegameneededme5]

Someone at CBS walks by as Dan and Vinny are airplaning in the hallway with Ben recording them with an iPad.
"Sorry, we're professionals hard at work here."

[@MrLagerblad]

Best angle of Ben Pack ever

[@Sinastyr]

Vinny mentioning getting Driver SF from gamefly is a great callback. Too bad they didn't play any Homefront!

[@octocoq]

I’m so glad that Autopilot Off song played during the SSX3 match up

[@RobSomeone]

I love that only the guys who hate skittles got skittles.

[@M4R14NO94]

I'm guessing the game Ben was referring to during the Crazy Taxi portion was Wild Riders, which definitely feels like a mix between CT and Top Skater but in a bike, and the whole concept of it is just getting away from the cops. It's also incredibly stylish, with some celshaded graphics that still look awesome to this day.

[@RobSomeone]

Vinny has the same shirt as me!

[@cloudofthought]

Mini Aggro Craig tree ornaments need to be sold on the GB store

[@Jeevz666]

No surprises on who gets eliminated first.

[@advocatefish3562]

I thought it was fact that all skittle have the same flavor.

[@takeshikitano3]

Sadly, as someone who hasn't been into wrestling in 14 years, I would have gotten 5/5 too lol

[@xiaoyuryu]

yall gotta get Sonicfox on to train Abby up in some DBFZ

[@IgnatiusJReilly10]

I have been looking forward to this very much. It will take a few days, but I have a few to watch. Thanks guys.

[@car060383]

What's the bracket software used here? Also, that Skittles game played out hilariously. Never thought watching people eat one Skittle at a time could be so amusing.

[@TwodeeTwodimensional]

Aggro Craig has way too much 'tude. I think Jason was lucky to finally get a clean break from him.

[@Choteron3]

Please play Hitman 2

[@Scythus]

Ben is either a giant or Dan is an elf

[@91swisha]

This looks extremely fun I would love to be apart of this

[@metalslingr]

He’s Brad at games.

[@ZX_Erineon]

God I feel so bad for Abby during DBFZ lol

[@CheetosStainedLips]

If anything it made me want to see her tackle and improve at one. Don't think it will ever happen though.

[@flux_casey]

"I don't get the appeal and I don't think I ever will." Funny. Isn't that what Jeff had been saying up until the beginning of this year?

[@Armaan8014]

I miss the couch setup

[@kaizerdeath12]

Can we get some Tinsel-wrapped, Crowned Aggro Craig replicas on sale by the GB store? I would drop some generous cash on it.

[@tristanedwards7302]

Jeff is in a bad mood. lol

[@BoyNukeEm]

It's confirmed - Jeff has no taste

[@AwkwardLoser]

I love that Jeff can’t taste the difference between red & green

[@spencerdavis7222]

Are you guys doing Hitsmas?

[@GregPivo87]

No. Giant Bomb hates Hitman.

[@lucianofutemma]

Never forget Driver SF

[@danielnilsson430]

42 downvotes? 42 people have no soul

[@ChizzeMagoo]

Why was there so much weird stuff about skipping hitman?

[@Fidel_Cashflow]

RIP EA Sports Big. SSX3 was my favorite PS2 game.

[@Reavengence]

That was...an ending

[@xpantherx]

36:52

[@TwodeeTwodimensional]

Never forget

[@Rathbaume]

Im so confused.... abby scored 32 in tetris effect yet ben "won" at 20 and then threw the match?

[@AquaShibby3000]

It's based on the score, not lines cleared. He had a huge score because he did all back to backs

[@pimpdady246]

I'm really disappointed Jeff couldn't identify the Skittles.

[@mrmakiman]

Why does that christmas tree have arms?

[@TerroristPenguin]

Why does Nintendo have ARMS? No one knows.

[@StanWorship]

[@TheInfiniteDraw]

You obviously don’t what’s going on when you’re play Dragon Ball FighterZ if you don’t actually know what you’re doing and are just mashing. Holds true for pretty much every fighting game.

[@ElyskeTheDonut]

They are mid losers bracket at 35 minutes, how is this 2 hours?

[@ElyskeTheDonut]

Video games are the worst part of this.

[@Farktoid]

This is a reminder that Abby pretty much single-handedly killed Giant Bomb as a brand and it has never recovered. Nice work Abby.

[@tommypowell5329]

Gtfo of here. I think she helped bring the company up by adding more high energy to dans high energy. If anything she saved GBeast

[@incompletex2]

[@pimpdady246]

TIL Ben is huge

[@StefanWB]

I realise that this is probably part of the comedy, but Dan is maybe the worst game designer I've ever seen. I'm still a little mad about how nonsensical the rules for Steal My Sunshine were.
Also I've watched a lot of wrestling over the years, and Vinny Caravella just beat me in a wrestling trivia contest (could've sworn that Drew Carey wasn't in the HOF for some reason).

[@mBluett]

What would you have done differently for Steal my Sunshine? The betting and Mario Party fuck-you-over mechanics were entertaining on video. Omitting blue coins was a smart move. Some of the hidden shines were questionable but bearable with a guide. My only change would have been to omit the 100 coin shines because they're boring and took forever.
Also, use action replay or Homebrew to un-invert the camera.

[@rebootcomputa]

Playing DBZ without English voice how there ya! :D

[@NachosBorealis]
