Show of the Weekend! Ellen serves (sorry) a devious tabletop tennis challenge in honour of Mario Tennis Aces, plus Assassin's Creed Odyssey, your comments, artwork and much more. Enjoy! (p.s. if you do fancy submitting your own one-sheet tennis RPG for us, there's an email address in the description)
One page Mario Tennis RPG you say? I’ve got it: Acquire a copy of Mario Tennis for the GameBoy Colour or GameBoy Advanced. Complete story and level both Ellen’s and Luke’s characters. Transfer to corresponding N64 or GameCube Mario Tennis game. Fight-I mean play. There, done. I predict Ellen winning in three straight sets because she’ll max her slice and backhand à la Roger Federer/Andre Agassi.
Luke gets two extra History points for correctly associating "Diva" with eating stuffed dormice, correctly placing the term in ancient Rome. One point is deducted for casting Ellen as a household slave.
Jane is pissed. She hid her Time travelling machine in Pikachu, so no one can find it, and you told everyone. And Luke, you wasted time travelling juice to scoop people on a video game news? You could of gone back in time and take a triceratop egg before a volcano explode and bring back your own triceratop. Now Jane will take back her time machine and guard it better.
Since the notebook clearly left with Luke and Ellen but didn't arrive with them. I think it travelled to Hideo Kojima years in the past and gave him the idea for Death Stranding creating a time paradox! Either that or the continuity is incorrect.
So Death Stranding's origin is a temporal paradox? That would explain a few things... Who am I kidding, _nothing_ makes any of this easier to understand.
Patrik, it's pretty safe to assume unless you have a baby, a mason jar and a guitar-lead handy you never will. (P.S. please don't combine babies, mason jars and guitar-leads even if you DO happen to have them handy. Thnx!)
Yeah, he ended war, cured cancer and convince George Lucas to rewrite the prequel and not sell Star Wars to Disney. Too bad Jane got mad her plan didn't work, because Andy refuse to listen to her and gave her the world and went back to time and fixed everything.
Slew One but what about the time jane won over the word,reveled mike to be an Android and luke to be a cyborg that she created to take over the world and it all ended when she finally destroyed james the vampire on top of her new and functional doxth star. She was a good ruler a strict and merciless one but a good one ...---...
Wait, that is the time line yet to come. If you know about it, You either work for Jane and seen her mechanization or there is a rift in the time space continuum. Needless to say, you are a loose end and Jane needs to clean up. Hope James doesn't find out Jane is going to infect him with the vampire virus to give the world an enemy to rally behind Jane as our savior.
Sure. When playing a competetive game of tennis against a cold-blooded sniper, why wouldn't you cheat and then rub it in his face with a lot of aggressive taunting?

At the same time, Socrates regularly praises the Spartans, and even goes as far as to call them the wisest people in Greece. And when you say the Spartans were baddies, do you mean to call the Athenians goodies? Even the Athenian general, Thucydides, who recorded the Peloponnesian War didn't reduce it to that. They both did bad things and both had reasonable causes that they believed in. The Spartans were mainly fighting against the imperialist tendencies that Athens was showing and to stop them essentially monopolising and creating an empire where they exploited the smaller nations through threat of force, like they had shown as willing to do following the Persian War.
"And when you say the Spartans were baddies, do you mean to call the Athenians goodies?" "This isn't to say that the Athenians were always saints" I think it's fair to say that Athens and Sparta were always conspiring to conquer one another, as you saw the Spartans do, with the help of _Persia_ no less, at one point. I call the Spartans baddies because their society was to put it scientifically, really scary. From casting off children to whipping boys till they bled to death as a right of passage to their ubiquitous pederasty to declaring an annual war on their slaves, they did a lot of things that we would consider unconscionable today. I will give them credit for their occupation of Athens though and installation of The Thirty. It was a pretty bad time for the Athenians and the thirty even executed some of their own moderate members but it was not as bad a time as the massacre the Thebans had planned for them for sure. Though I would take Socrates's praise of the Spartans in perspective. For one thing we know that Socrates favored an autocracy, the likes of which they had in Sparta, and the Greeks as a whole favored nothing more than military glory. Socrates's own obituary said nothing of his work as an educator or philosopher, the only thing it talked about was that he was a rower at Salamis. Socrates would have spent most of his life hearing the Spartan's version of Thermopylae, including how they were the "saviors of Greece" (never mind the fact that they actually lost or the others that also fought to the last man, but that's propaganda for you) and I'm sure that the hardships that his own people endured during the aftermath of the Democracy-wrought Peloponnesian war only helped to further sustain his beliefs. As for their reasonable nature... Shrug? I mean these are people who declared it illegal for any citizen to have a profession, didn't develop cavalry because citizens were supposed to be equals and a man on a horse would constitute a "mounted elite" and who's reliance on a slave class that out-numbered them 7 to one drove them to a state of constant paranoia. And who could forget that time they invited all the slaves to elect leaders to receive citizenship only to murder the "winners" as they arrived, right? I could go on and on but I'm tired of writing. I also gotta throw in here that I wouldn't talk too much about the Spartan's commitment to countering Athenian imperialistic tendencies as though it was done altruistically. It was in their best interest to counter these and it's not like the ranks of the Helots only grew through breeding. They themselves subjugated several groups of people. Don't get me wrong, I could go on about Athens, their acquisitiveness and their practice of Ostracism and the execution of Socrates and the like too but this post is about why I called the _Spartans_ baddies.
Anthony Price. DOn't worry, Jane is working on reducing her cuteness, by turning her to the dark side. Forcing her to sit next to and listen to Andy lecture her on history made her somewhat murderous.
I'm assuming Pre-E3 Luke and Ellen were sent forward in time. Poor kids were probably really upset they they missed all the fun. Hopefully, Post-E3 Luke and Ellen were able to get more batteries.
'Socrates in real life believed that philosophy should achieve practical results for the greater well-being of society..' Socrates in Assassin's Creed: "how can we see if our eyes arent real?"
Gummihals he also had the paradoxical habit of having completely random and esoteric thought expiriments that influenced both plato and Diogenes, plato got the more esoteric and hypothetical views whereas diogenes got his anfettered realism, socrates asking how we could see if our eyes are invisible is close to something he actually would ask, which was if eyes are the view to the soul, then are our eyes invisible or is our soul in our eyes, or does the soul even exist
Thank you so much for these videos I've really come to love watching them every week. i used to watch insideXbox back in the day then i found outsidexbox and id watch their stuff occasionally but ever since you guys started this channel I've been hooked on both. keep up the good work xx
How would the "special rules" not just be a dnd combat scenario without the tiling? Each character gets a couple of spells skinned as tennis moves, maybe you could even set up a special tiling system! Brb, I've had some ideas
When Luke said "my history is not amazing-" I imagined thumping footsteps from off camera and Andy just diving into shot to enlighten Luke on Sparta and it's place in the Greek time line
I'm very disappointed with the poll this episode. The best greek filosopher is obviously Diogenes: - lived in a barrel - Once took a dump in the middle of a public theater - publicly sassed Alexander the Great - took a plucked chicken to Plato's academy, held it up, and screamed 'BEHOLD, A MAN!' (Plato once commented sarcasticly that all creatures without feathers could be considered humans) -Once went around the city with a lit lantern in broad daylight to 'find an honest man' - he also reguarly disrupted Plato's lectures by bringing snacks in order to distract the attendants The man is a legend.
I've been binge watching the series Vikings and wish they'd make a Vikings game like AC Odyssey but with Vikings and their gods I think that would be fun!
When Ellen said who would want an orange car my first thought was who wouldn't want an orange car only is it was luminous orange ASBO orange if you would. Show of the weekend always makes me smile and I loved the end part where Ellen was hugging the couch.
I love that you added a stinger to the show! Of course, you realize no one will ever click one of your on-screen links again, because they don't want to miss a post-credit scene...
Silly Luke. A slice is when, after losing the match and stepping up to the net to congratulate your opponent, you use the sharpened edge of your racket to SLICE off their hand so they can't humiliate you again.
The thing with Assassins Creed is that although Origins was set around 300 years before this, in AC2 they tell you that the first recorded use of the hidden blade was to kill Xerxes by an assassin called Darius. This was around 50 years before the events of Odyssey
Bloody hell you two always make me want to play the games you talk about. First you got me playing Skyrim again then far cry 5 and now your talking me into assassins creed... /sigh i havnt enough time!
The way we always played 'd20 Tennis' was that to keep hitting the ball back to the opponent one had to equal or beat their roll, constantly escalating.
27:09 Okay, being serious for a moment here. This is a lesson that a lot of people (especially us men) need to learn: when the person you're talking to looks like they're faking their interest, the polite thing for you to do is to switch topics, if not right then, then soon. Sometimes people can't outright tell you that they're bored, so it's your responsibility to keep your eyes peeled for "please stop talking" social cues (if there's nothing beyond your control stopping you from picking up on them, of course). If it's appropriate (meaning the other person can answer honestly), a good tactic is to ask if the other person has anything to say or would like to switch topics before you move on to a new point in your topic. Not accusing anybody at OX of rudeness or conversation-monopolizing, but just a general rule of thumb that some people might not know.
Ah I've missed show of the weekend! So glad to see it's back, even if this was technically filmed before they left. Also I just wanted to share the important information that Kingdoms of Amelur is on sale on steam right now and you can get it and all the dlc for $9.99 until July 5th if anyone wants to play Ellen's obsession for themselves.
You get a cup of strawberries and whipped cream and you start a game of DTennis, and all of a sudden you're at Wimbledon, and you didn't even have to buy a ticket.
- (detective pikachu) freeze punk, or you will end up in (dramatic silence) shock... -It wasa me Mario. I killeda them all. Thus are the rules ofa smash -I will lock you up in an electric cage... -You willa never taka me alive (gets shot by sniper Luigi, tearfully taking out his brother to save their crime empire) That's how you do a 3 franchises crossover...

This isn't to say that the Athenians were always saints but of course Socrates criticized the Athenians quite a bit, he was FROM Athens and the nature of the Socratic method is to challenge things to tear down people's preconceptions and get people to critically think. That's why he's asking you questions that make you want him to shut up. That was his nature. He himself described himself as a horsefly, constantly pestering people to as he put it: "sting people and whip them into a fury, all in the service of truth." If he had lived in Corinth for instance, then Corinth would likely have received most of his criticism.
At the same time, Socrates regularly praises the Spartans, and even goes as far as to call them the wisest people in Greece. And when you say the Spartans were baddies, do you mean to call the Athenians goodies? Even the Athenian general, Thucydides, who recorded the Peloponnesian War didn't reduce it to that. They both did bad things and both had reasonable causes that they believed in. The Spartans were mainly fighting against the imperialist tendencies that Athens was showing and to stop them essentially monopolising and creating an empire where they exploited the smaller nations through threat of force, like they had shown as willing to do following the Persian War.
"And when you say the Spartans were baddies, do you mean to call the Athenians goodies?"
"This isn't to say that the Athenians were always saints"
I think it's fair to say that Athens and Sparta were always conspiring to conquer one another, as you saw the Spartans do, with the help of _Persia_ no less, at one point. I call the Spartans baddies because their society was to put it scientifically, really scary. From casting off children to whipping boys till they bled to death as a right of passage to their ubiquitous pederasty to declaring an annual war on their slaves, they did a lot of things that we would consider unconscionable today.
I will give them credit for their occupation of Athens though and installation of The Thirty. It was a pretty bad time for the Athenians and the thirty even executed some of their own moderate members but it was not as bad a time as the massacre the Thebans had planned for them for sure. Though I would take Socrates's praise of the Spartans in perspective. For one thing we know that Socrates favored an autocracy, the likes of which they had in Sparta, and the Greeks as a whole favored nothing more than military glory. Socrates's own obituary said nothing of his work as an educator or philosopher, the only thing it talked about was that he was a rower at Salamis. Socrates would have spent most of his life hearing the Spartan's version of Thermopylae, including how they were the "saviors of Greece" (never mind the fact that they actually lost or the others that also fought to the last man, but that's propaganda for you) and I'm sure that the hardships that his own people endured during the aftermath of the Democracy-wrought Peloponnesian war only helped to further sustain his beliefs.
As for their reasonable nature... Shrug? I mean these are people who declared it illegal for any citizen to have a profession, didn't develop cavalry because citizens were supposed to be equals and a man on a horse would constitute a "mounted elite" and who's reliance on a slave class that out-numbered them 7 to one drove them to a state of constant paranoia. And who could forget that time they invited all the slaves to elect leaders to receive citizenship only to murder the "winners" as they arrived, right? I could go on and on but I'm tired of writing.
I also gotta throw in here that I wouldn't talk too much about the Spartan's commitment to countering Athenian imperialistic tendencies as though it was done altruistically. It was in their best interest to counter these and it's not like the ranks of the Helots only grew through breeding. They themselves subjugated several groups of people.
Don't get me wrong, I could go on about Athens, their acquisitiveness and their practice of Ostracism and the execution of Socrates and the like too but this post is about why I called the _Spartans_ baddies.
Finally neither of you are stuck in a shipping container or off becoming a Sith Lord!
Caitlin RC now I really want to see the two of them playing Star Wars: The Old Republic and agonising over every single light side/dark side choices!
AJ Zebadua yeah me to! 👍
Wait there were two Lukes and Ellens in our universe at the same time? I'm assuming they didn't meet, because currently our timeline hasn't imploded.
Jane placed a paradox machine in her time machine. That's how future Andy met past Andy. YOu do know she's the Mistress.
2 Ellen's in the same 'verse?
I don't think reality could handle such cuteness 😊
Even if they did, it couldn't change anything... Novikov Self-consistency principle :D
Anthony Price. DOn't worry, Jane is working on reducing her cuteness, by turning her to the dark side. Forcing her to sit next to and listen to Andy lecture her on history made her somewhat murderous.
I'm assuming Pre-E3 Luke and Ellen were sent forward in time. Poor kids were probably really upset they they missed all the fun. Hopefully, Post-E3 Luke and Ellen were able to get more batteries.
I like how the file photo you have for Johnny is him at the end of his tether, head in hands.
Much philosophy. So crates. Wow.
Socrates? The phi-lo-so-phisor?
All we are is dust in the wind, dude.
That was a wonderful picture of Johnny you had there. It really brings to mind the long suffering of all DM's
*Set 400 years before Origins* Ellen: A little before AC: Origins.
Think Ellen has been abusing time travelling Pikachu too much!
I had no idea Origins was set in 49 BCE, I expected it to be over a millennium earlier!
BCE? Is that before Christ existed?
A lot of people refer to Common Era and Before Common Era, rather than Anno Domini and Before Christ.
Back to normality with Show of the Weekend I see. I've missed these over the past couple of weeks
Marcus Hough Yeah me to! It must have been really fun at E3
'Socrates in real life believed that philosophy should achieve practical results for the greater well-being of society..'
Socrates in Assassin's Creed: "how can we see if our eyes arent real?"
Gummihals So which of those hung out with Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter? Or is there a third one floating around out there? PARADOX!!!
Gummihals it wouldn't be the worst historical inaccuracy the game has committed. (squints at the battle footage)
Gummihals he also had the paradoxical habit of having completely random and esoteric thought expiriments that influenced both plato and Diogenes, plato got the more esoteric and hypothetical views whereas diogenes got his anfettered realism, socrates asking how we could see if our eyes are invisible is close to something he actually would ask, which was if eyes are the view to the soul, then are our eyes invisible or is our soul in our eyes, or does the soul even exist
No, he would ask, if mirrors aren't real, how can our eyes be real?
Yes, that's right. He drew Jane "as Prudence". He definitely hasn't secretly seen her true form or anything...
Luke needs help with his death stranding conspiracys and that notebook should be called the "death-stranding-note" (I'm not sorry)
Ryan Cleland I'd say boo, but honestly I just wish I'd thought of it first...
Well done, you deserve an apple!!!
Write the name of a game in development in there and it is going to be delayed indefinitely.
I'm so happy everyone finally let Ellen make a pun without booing
coolcattime Finally! Ellen gets the recognition she deserves! I love Ellen’s jokes 🤗
So... Luke is secretly a god now? That explains why he hasn't died yet. And the tallness. And also the fabulous hair.
I wish Ellen luck for that hardest of times...OCTOBER
What about FEBRUARY?
Luke: "My history's not amazing". Also Luke: Dinosaurs were feathered!!!!
I feel like I have replaced childhood fave Blue Peter with Show of the Weekend, they both have amiable presenters and art corners and all!
That post-credit scene is better than Marvel's!
Thank you so much for these videos I've really come to love watching them every week. i used to watch insideXbox back in the day then i found outsidexbox and id watch their stuff occasionally but ever since you guys started this channel I've been hooked on both. keep up the good work xx
Show of the Weekend, it felt like forever!
How would the "special rules" not just be a dnd combat scenario without the tiling? Each character gets a couple of spells skinned as tennis moves, maybe you could even set up a special tiling system! Brb, I've had some ideas
"The Numbers, Mason! What Do they Mean?!?"
"It's How much Health they've lost When you Hit them."
James’ burn at 12.54. 😂 Aww bless Luke. 🎈
Show of the weekend!!! Yay. (Even though it was filmed before E3, I’m still happy to see it. I missed having it and Show of the Week to watch).
Omg. Last time Jane said my name, this time Ellen? I'm 2/5 of my way through collecting the whole OxCrew!
Is it just me who got a little mad at the fact Lukes points were on the left but he was on the right hand side of the sofa? O.o
Your opening sketches, I hafta say, OXTRA, are always soooooooo ace !!! ✨🖤💛💜💙💚❤💖💗💜💖💛🖤💙💜💛❤💚
Omg, you two legit get funnier every episode. My new favorite show on YT right now 👍
Seeing Dob makes me miss the DnD adventures. Come on guys, we need more :P
I feel like I haven’t seen show of the weekend in forever. Please never leave again :(
When Luke said "my history is not amazing-"
I imagined thumping footsteps from off camera and Andy just diving into shot to enlighten Luke on Sparta and it's place in the Greek time line
I'm very disappointed with the poll this episode. The best greek filosopher is obviously Diogenes:
- lived in a barrel
- Once took a dump in the middle of a public theater
- publicly sassed Alexander the Great
- took a plucked chicken to Plato's academy, held it up, and screamed 'BEHOLD, A MAN!' (Plato once commented sarcasticly that all creatures without feathers could be considered humans)
-Once went around the city with a lit lantern in broad daylight to 'find an honest man'
- he also reguarly disrupted Plato's lectures by bringing snacks in order to distract the attendants
The man is a legend.
Luke and Ellen are such children, and I love it.
"Hey man, whooo are you to choooooose!"
MYKONOS!
I’ve actually been to Greece including several islands.
Mykonos was very pretty, and I would love to go again.
That awkward moment when you want to time travel but someone forgot to charge the time travel Pikachu. Smh..
Jacques Celliers 🤣
The last bit with Ellen and the sofa is a good representation of how I reacted to this Show of The Weekend. You've been missed guys.
Yay! Ellen and luke together again!
I love the outside xbox peeps but no one can compare to these two
We need more D&D! Love all the Ellen cuteness in this episode. I can't wait to watch you all play a 1 sheet tennis RPG.
Tennis, the only way for the Mario brothers to show some Love
These shows are so well thought out man I really enjoy it cheers guys xx
I relate to Luke on tying balloons. It's really hard to get them tied without losing any of the air or getting your fingers trapped.
18:39 oh, I actually have that exact Luigi toy, and it's in fact in a drool right next to me as I watch this video.
I've been binge watching the series Vikings and wish they'd make a Vikings game like AC Odyssey but with Vikings and their gods I think that would be fun!
Love the reference back to Penguin Ellen. lol, I did not see that coming and it was hilarious.
Good to see Show of the Weekend is back! Missed you guys!
8:12 AhhhhhhhhHHHH!! Look at this Monster Hunter 3-ass underwater melee fighting! I think I'm hyped for this game now! :D
When Ellen said who would want an orange car my first thought was who wouldn't want an orange car only is it was luminous orange ASBO orange if you would. Show of the weekend always makes me smile and I loved the end part where Ellen was hugging the couch.
That's what happens when you use an infinity stone for a lozenge, Luke.
Next time on Show of the Weekend! Ellen & Luke skip through time to stop Jane from becoming the first Galactic Empress!
Peter Marron yes down with the Empire again!
I've been waiting for both you of to be in the same episode again for a long time
(squeaks in surprise!) thank you!!! for being awesome and reading my comment!!
Ooooh wasn't expecting a SotW today! Welcome back guys
I love that you added a stinger to the show! Of course, you realize no one will ever click one of your on-screen links again, because they don't want to miss a post-credit scene...
Gotta say, they've been nailing it with the art direction with Origins and Odyssey. This world looks gorgeous.
Ellen’s back
Silly Luke. A slice is when, after losing the match and stepping up to the net to congratulate your opponent, you use the sharpened edge of your racket to SLICE off their hand so they can't humiliate you again.
The thing with Assassins Creed is that although Origins was set around 300 years before this, in AC2 they tell you that the first recorded use of the hidden blade was to kill Xerxes by an assassin called Darius. This was around 50 years before the events of Odyssey
I'm loving the Bill and Ted reference by Luke
Ellen's hair is absolutely beautiful! 😍😍😍😍
Bloody hell you two always make me want to play the games you talk about. First you got me playing Skyrim again then far cry 5 and now your talking me into assassins creed... /sigh i havnt enough time!
I officially 100% origins with all dlc finished yesterday and let me say it was worth the work on my days off
Wait! Does this mean that every time Dob did thunderwave, it was actually in slow motion and he just used zone speed?! MY LIFE IS A LIE!!
Every time Ellen mentions AC: Odyssey she looks like the cat that caught the canary. Such joy is infectious.
Nobody going to talk about the tiny kraken at 8.08? Just me??
The way we always played 'd20 Tennis' was that to keep hitting the ball back to the opponent one had to equal or beat their roll, constantly escalating.
Jumped on this as soon as I saw the notification!! I missed you guys!!!
Im so glad to see you guys back!
See, this is why time travel is dangerous.
Ironically, as a mercenary for hire, you are more of an assassin than any of the other characters ever were.
I’ve 100% completed Origins. My first one on xbox. So proud of myself!!
Not even 4 am here but I heard the notification so here I am.
And they're back!
27:09 Okay, being serious for a moment here. This is a lesson that a lot of people (especially us men) need to learn: when the person you're talking to looks like they're faking their interest, the polite thing for you to do is to switch topics, if not right then, then soon. Sometimes people can't outright tell you that they're bored, so it's your responsibility to keep your eyes peeled for "please stop talking" social cues (if there's nothing beyond your control stopping you from picking up on them, of course). If it's appropriate (meaning the other person can answer honestly), a good tactic is to ask if the other person has anything to say or would like to switch topics before you move on to a new point in your topic.
Not accusing anybody at OX of rudeness or conversation-monopolizing, but just a general rule of thumb that some people might not know.
You totally would rock a side braid Ellen! :)
I didn't expect the spanish inq.... I mean Show of the Weekend, but i'm glad to see you two after all that E3 content :D
Ah I've missed show of the weekend! So glad to see it's back, even if this was technically filmed before they left.
Also I just wanted to share the important information that Kingdoms of Amelur is on sale on steam right now and you can get it and all the dlc for $9.99 until July 5th if anyone wants to play Ellen's obsession for themselves.
29:12 I knew it!! Luke has demon blood in his veins! It all makes sense now.😱
I was expecting Luke to take Mario and smudge luigi's shoes... Again 😂
so assasins creed just going further back to the past until 10,000 BC but I rather call it ASSASINS CREED : PRIMAL
29:59, is that Luke or Egon Spengler from Ghostbusters without glasses?
Oh man I spent 120 hrs on Origins by February (3 months after release). I am so ready for Odyssey already ;)
Luigi looks like he's directing traffic from the middle of the champs elysees
Well done using up time travel pikachu's charge- LUKE!
Loved the tabletop tennis game!
Luke: "Now, my history's not amazing..."
I'm honestly impressed Andy managed to not sarcastically shout 'You don't say...'
squalk25 or Andy shouting Boo!
"We ran out of film"? You shoot these digitally, don't deny it!
You get a cup of strawberries and whipped cream and you start a game of DTennis, and all of a sudden you're at Wimbledon, and you didn't even have to buy a ticket.
i can't wait to see how assassins creed odyssey continues on from super mario odysseys story
That was a really big build up for a really small joke. I love it!
- (detective pikachu) freeze punk, or you will end up in (dramatic silence) shock...
-It wasa me Mario. I killeda them all. Thus are the rules ofa smash
-I will lock you up in an electric cage...
-You willa never taka me alive (gets shot by sniper Luigi, tearfully taking out his brother to save their crime empire)
That's how you do a 3 franchises crossover...
I'm so glad your back i was starting to get withdrawal symptoms.
Yeeees finally a proper show of the weekend with the OG hosts like the weekend gods intended
A first on the channel: applause for a pun instead of boos. Poor Luke “the eternal puppy dog” Westaway, that was a very clear transparent pun.
