There's no way this isn't just 24 days of Stuart eating spices.
It's exactly that and I can't wait
To be fair they are all filmed in one day 😆
Don't worry, I bet the Toot Toot calendar has at best two actual toys, and the rest is just filled with those "plate" things
@@CrimsonFcukr I think that's actually worse
No gaps in the spices, all at once
@@kevinprehm good point 😆
Love how that rain deer toy is around after all the years
It's basically the series mascot at this point
that and the grass masks though reindeer has become more of a staple mascot than the grass masks lol
The reindeer is very reliable, and spends advent keeping the tide of grass masks at bay
and that they where both horribly wrong on who’s was better, i watch this every year
I came back after advent 2023 just so remember the origins of it
You know the advent calendar thing is off to a good start when you have two grown men looking stumped at a plastic reindeer that refuses to shut up.
And one of them looks like he wants to die, while the other is laughing heartily.
That's the advent calendar you buy for a child whom you're sort of fond of, but whose parents you secretly despise.
"I'm a reliable reindeer", this is the best thing Ive ever heard.
Almost as good as THE GOOSE
The toot toot animals one is what you buy for someone you don’t like who has kids
And superglue the power switch to the on position. 😉
it is for an advent of hatred
I bought my sister's kid a drum kit.
"Entertainment"
So anyone with kids basically.
Going back to this. I see Dan is wearing an Only Fools and Horses Christmas Jumper...
...Oh dear
foreshadowing
"Use your failure as a spoon" may be the most brutal thing anyone has said to another human being.
I can confirm as a father, vtech toys never stay quiet. Random giggles from the toy box at night had led to some interesting 3am scrambles
Hears Reindeer:
"It's name is Legion, for it is many."
Stuart we love you.😂
Gonna be honest, I did not expect Legion to be a big fan of Christmas, but maybe they've cleaned up their act(s?) a little. Although the Funko Fortnite calendar is clearly the work of some kind of otherworldly evil.
@@theodorelehman It's an unholy abomination that needs to be destroyed!
The Fortnite calender that is.
I'd much rather have the one with the spices. Those are at least useful.
"Those are the laughs of the damned."
*Its
Red Dwarf reference!
11:38 " I really hope it has a short battery life " cut to a year later in 2020 advent calender:
2 years later again to 2022 advent calendar
@@raynlaze1339 and after they threw it across the room multiple times
2023 now, and it's still blessing us with its reliability.
You know, “Handmade With ❤️ In Germany” surrounded by fire doesn’t exactly stir up the most cheer I’ve ever had weirdly enough
Good thing German history has absolutely nothing being burned in a fire.
turns out they used actual human hearts that had been recovered from burn victims
I bet they print those words on all weapons that they export...
"Eighty pounds"
Me and Stuart in unison: WHAT
In fairness that's only £3.33 for each figure
If it's anything like the Harry Potter equivalent the rrp is actually £40 and he just bought it at an extreme mark up.
@@man_eating_monkey I have faith...
Who am I kidding no I don't
WAIT WHAT??
I thought he said EIGHTEEN, and even then I thought it was way too expensive!
For £80 I could buy my entire family actual christmas presents they would be perfectly happy with.
@@Mick_92 I bought my sister a solid, chunky, sterling silver bangle for less than half that... 😂
The amount of anger a toy company brings 2 grown men amuses me.
“You have to use your failure as a spoon.” Please don’t ever stop this. I’ve been looking forward to this since July.
Ben Rushby Why July specifically?
@@DeathnoteBB Christmas in July
It's not Christmas time until Ashens and Nerd3 start opening calendars.
This is my Advent calendar nowadays.
Where was th grass masks
THIS HAS BECOME MY FAVORITE PART OF THE HOLIDAYS!!! when i saw this video in my feed, I squealed so loudly, my mum (from clear across the house) my mum asked if i was okay, so i shouted, "THE NERDCUBED ASHEN ADVENT CALENDER IS HEEEEERREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!"
yah i sent to my friend who watches this as well "Christmas time is here, may the grass mask curse your advent calender's and your breakfasts be of a pensioners"
I'm rewatching this and am endlessly amused how how badly this plan backfired on Dan.
Dan delivered that "23 minutes" answer so quickly and so well that for a split second I believed him
I think he was telling the truth... the video's 18 minutes long and it didn't shut up for any of them. (Also, I find it amusing that there are currently 23 likes on that comment.)
Ok so 4 years later and the bloody reindeer 🦌 is still singing it's creepy lil heart out!😂😂
"Fortnite Funko Calendar for 80 Pounds"
...there is no god
@Robot Fist There is no god....only Funko.
The fact that someone thinks that the abomination against humanity we call Fortnite is worth £80 as an advent calendar should be strung up by their ankles and used as a human punching bag/pin cushion.
timmer919hep It doesn’t actually sell for £80 btw. You can get it in shops now for £20 and the most it’s ever been is £40.
Chazcat 108
Even £20 is too much.
That trash looks it's barely worth £5.
@@SpindlyJohnny Honestly, as shit as it is, £20 seems reasonable, in a way. It's less than a quid per figure, no matter how shit it is and it'll keep the kids (hopefully kids) happy.
I'm comparing that to skins in the game, which I think b can be like £15 each or some shit?
Stuart Ashen getting angry at a toy reindeer meant for children is the highlight of December for me
Things I didn't expect to see today:
Ashens dunking an elf into a bag of spice.
I want “you must use your failure as a spoon” engraved on my tombstone
*13:14* "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Presents on the sley, Oh what fun it is to be a Christmas reindeer- *_HIP HIP!"_*
OH HOW I HAVE MISSED THAT INTRO
It's like hearing your favorite show's theme start on TV when you were a kid
Hello Ho Ho
Demonic deer: "time to deliver Christmas cheer!" *yeets away *.
After ten thousand years I'm free! It's time to DELIVER CHRISTMAS CHEER!
"I really hope it has a short battery life"
Oh you sweet summer child.
I remember a time when an advent calendar was just bits of chocolate
Bruh, YES
I love the ones with chocolate
I remember when it was just an image behind a cardboard flap. My family had two of them and we'd re-use them every year. They must have gotten thrown out or something at some point, because I haven't seen them recently when I go to visit at xmas time.
And when they were just ten bucks
I remember filling the empty plastic shapes with gypsum powder mixed with water, and then letting it dry. Once it was dry and popped out of the plastic, I'd paint them.
Alternatively you could also refill them with flavoured jelly as well. :) Tastes a lot better than those horribly sweet milk chocolates that originally came in it. ;)
"80 POUNDS!"
"WHAT?!"
Tat
Eighty. Pounds.
Repeat ad infinitum.
Sorry, but the British version is 'WOT?!?"
Yeah, he MASSIVELY overplayed for that!
I will always take joy from Dan just shouting in all the Fortnite commotion “EIGHTY POUNDS!!”
"I'm a great runner!"
Stuart, immediately: "You haven't got any legs, mate"
That fucking SLAYED me.
Dan: "This is gonna be the worst Christmas ever".
Me in 2020: Um... Yea... About that...
Unfortunately, Rudolph chose not to get vaccinated for COVID. His last words were, "I'm a regretful reindeer."
@@MostlyLost Compared to 2021… Yea! 😂
Dan was right for a year.
Now starts officially the nightmare before christmas with these advent calendars
Boys and girls of every age/Would you like to see something strange?

Come with us and you will see. In our town of Halloween.
@@Alex_K221 This is Halloween! This is Halloween! Pumpkins scream in the dead of night!
Dubuya Jay
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween.
@@Alex_K221 I am the one hiding under your bed/teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red.
My younger sibling used to get vtech toys as a tiny child. I can confirm all the ones that sing and talk are just as irritating as the reliable reindeer.
I bought some for my son when he was just a toddler, boy was I naïve. Fortunately he outgrew them quickly.
i was bored during lockdown so i decided to rewatch all the advents ... i forgot how funny 2019 was and how much pain that reindeer caused due to laughing so hard only dogs could hear
I suspect that the reindeer going silent and then starting up again is a marketing trick to lure people to the calendar on the shelf. One person presses it and listens to the first thing and someone else comes along and the calendar makes noise to attract them.
Yay, a new round of "Which calender will be the most disappointing?" Answer: All of them.
A four-way tie for dead last.
What a disappointing answer
Benedikt : Good point!
Ashens, Stuart, my good mate, never ever let your sadistic friend choose the advent calendars.
Never again.
Joy to the world!
The Advent's come
Let Earth receive her uh... calendar!
I think you mean
Let Earth receive her ꜱᴜʙꜱᴄʀɪʙᴇ ꜰᴏʀ ᴍᴏʀᴇ
Let Earth receive her tat.
When the reindeer ended jingle bells with “oh what fun it is to be a Christmas reindeer” I had a laughing fit which because of my cold transformed into a coughing fit that almost caused me to vomit. I can already tell this advent calendar is going to be fun
Oh god imagine if someone saw that first one in the shops, and activated them all at once
Genius
I do that when at Walmart, I also inscribe "out of order" on all the Etch-a-Sketches.
I’ve been looking forward to this all year.
Anyone else watching through everything again in anticipation of this year's calendar?
I am
And in 2021 doing it again. The old advent calendar openings provided a lot of laughs.
"Sees there are only 2 calendars"
Me: Aww that's a shame
"Sees the forfeit calendar"
Me: OH MAN THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD!
Someones gonna be sick by the end!!
do you mean someone's going to die by the end?
80 pounds!
WHAT!?
@@spooky6703 thats Harrods for you. £35 most places
18 minutes of Stuwart getting annoyed by the reindeer 😂😂

how can you fit so much audio in such a small toy-
That thing knows like every Christmas song-
The calender was infused with the souls of the children who were forced to sing together in a carol
Get it to big Clive
Flash chips are real cheap for a decent capacity these days.
Also it knows them all wildly wrong.
I would want it to be re-programmable so I could put in my own phrases and sound effects.
"Whoever wins will want the Toot Toot one" Oh you poor fool
I keep hearing: "I'm the annoying reindeer!"
Well I mean, it is that as well
A beginning is a very delicate time. Know then, that it is the year 2019, and "the spice must flow" is now a Christmas thing, bloody hell...
2:00 in the video is the historic moment. The button is pressed. The light shines. The cacophony begins. It is the awakening of the *RELIABLE REINDEER*, the voice of caroling legions, the cheap plastic herald of ADVENT.
An all-time classic
5:52 Little did Dan know what awaited him in the coming days
I Love [singing christmas carols] with [friends] in the [forest]!
Lukas Saunders I love Burning Christmas Trees with angsty teens in the pits of hell. That’s what I get from this.
That's sample separation for ya
Dan discovering the *kiss* the was the biggest plot twist ever 😂😂😂😂😂
"Those are the laughs of the damned."
"Kill the reindeer" - Grass masks
Consider it done.
But what if this is yet another fiendish device sent down to earth by our Overlords to make all who dare to deny their existence suffer for at least 24 days long?
Two grown men opening up a toddler's advent calender. Why is this so wholesome to me? lmao
Watching this again a couple weeks into the future, it's beautiful how much this backfired on Dan.
The time has come once again, bow down to your new lords mortals
Yes, let us bow down and repent at once!
I’m not ready for this years horrid grass mask type shenanigans
...honestly, I'd kinda love a grilling spice advent Callander
also that IS the skin martin uses in Fortnite
Yeah, I thought it was funny that they didn't understand that. It's a good idea, for someone who likes that sort of thing
I was thinking that grilling spice advent calender is ideal for the southern hemisphere
Do you really barbecue something every day? In winter?
@@TheFiercestCreatureInTheWorld I know I'm about a year late, but you do realise that Christmas isn't in winter everywhere
@@gaming_means_lag6446 It's being sold in the UK, which has Christmas in winter.
EIGHTY POUNDS!
So, how are you today Da-
EIGHTY POUNDS!!
Oh, right, so, how's -
EIGHTY. POUNDS.
EIGHTY FUCKING POUNDS-!
It’s time to rewatch!
I'm glad this series is back for another year. It wouldn't be xmastime without it.
EDIT: EIGHTY POUNDS?!?!
The V-Tech toot toot toys just reminds me of the Dave Gormon bit about messing with his friends' kids' toys lol
You know if he had access to one, there'd be an ambulance singing about being a reindeer.
Me: Oh, a Funko calender, that doesn't sound so ba- OH NO!!!
The worst thing is you could get a Harry Potter one for cheaper
£80?! For an advent calendar?! You're just paying for the brand at that point!
@@watcherofclassics Just checked Amazon, has it listed as £40. Slightly better pricing than £80 but still not worth it.
@GamerBear It's because it has an Easter expansion next year.
Funnily enough, I was thinking "oh, a Fortnite calendar, that doesn't seem so ba.... oh fuck"
"i really hope it has a short battery life"
*4 years later.*
13:13 may actually be the hardest i have ever laughed in my entire life. Dan's look of "I both hate and love what i have just done" is the most amazing thing in the world XD.
"...It's possessed by multiple demons"
Absolutely lost it.
I just shouted "What?!" in unison twice with Ashens when the Fortnight calendar was announced!
Yearly rewatching 💕
That's one spicy elf.
Also Chef Excellence would love the forfeit calander.
A Most Excellent Calendar.
An Excellent forfeit.
I like how excited Dan got over that annoying reindeer.
I love that we're leaning into the zoom-in camera, taking good advantage of it
I completely forget about thease every year and I love them
Oh boy, it’s my favourite time of the year.
2 blokes opening advent calendars month!
Three minutes in and Ashens has the quote that will sum up the entire series...."Nothing good can come of this." Brill.
Stuart: There's still 14 grams of this left.
Dan: For the Mega-Loser day!
Stuart:
Stuart: the what
I look forward to these every year. I love the use of the multiple cameras in this one; it’s just cutting back and forth between two shots, but it adds so much to the comedy.
I thought Ashens was gonna pitch that reindeer across the room.
Anyone else just watched this years first Christmas Calender and had to come back for the reindeer cause Dan showed it at the start.😂😂 (Also Reminder: Everyone go buy ashens new film!)
This is what I look forward to every year.
You have no idea how excited I was that today was December 1st specifically because I knew this series would be coming. And just as I’d hoped, you ruined Christmas immediately with the knowledge that these calendars exist.
Thanks guys, can’t wait!
Will anything top the god-awful Frozen calender? I can't wait to find out.
No. These don't look like 90% cardboard tat (although the Toot toot one might go down that route, we shall see), so i don't think we'll beat it for worst.
But for better? Could anything here beat the hand-job elf? Hmm, now that is the question!
Thats almost impossible.
Let it go.
Oh no, that cushty Christmas sweater is 4 years of foreshadowing in the making
Despite being made in Germany, that forfeit calendar was clearly made for Australians.
"i found what could quite possibly be the worst calendar ever made"
oh, dan...
Erm why is the reindeers brain sticking out of its head and why is it that that lights up and not his nose?
If I had to say that stuff I'm pretty sure that _my_ brain would be on fire.
Honestly watching these has become my favourite Christmas tradition😂
Oh god! Dan's is just going to be a different base plate each day that makes the reindeer say/sing a different line isn't it!?
probably
vtech logo - basically an annoyance guarantee
this series is the one thing that's gonna save my december
who would have thought dan's sweater would have been an omen for what's to come 4 years later
The best part of Christmas that I always forget about.
My favorite holiday tradition is upon us! Rejoice!
I can't believe it's been a year since I thought of "pensioners breakfast" rofl
I'm not even ashamed of how much I was looking forward to the advent calendars.
Had to comeback to revisit the reliable reindeer
My wifefu and I were opening our advent's day 1s at midnight last night (both funkos actually, the Harry Potter winter dance one and the Marvel Anniversary), and I was recanting about last year's Ashens Advent Adventures with the helicopter and the model car, and brought them up on the phone to show her day 1, a random one in the middle, and then day 24. We had a good chuckle and wondered what insanity was going to be in this year's series. Was not disappointed.
Day 1: Stuart becomes a spicehead
I look forward to these videos all year long. I am always sad when they end. It will be a very good month, and then I will be sad again.
Why does the reindeer have a lightup cockscomb??? Shouldn’t it be the nose that lights up? Where am I????
"That'll draw your a** up to your elbows." Omg, that's hysterical!! I'm gonna use this the first chance I get.
"How is this a christmas advent calendar?!!" Tool-advent calendar flashbacks... 😅😂
