I said before that these calendars (except Wera) weren't even good enough to be used for kindling, but I might take that back. The Frozen one seems to be filled mostly with cardboard, so I suppose it would at least be acceptable as kindling. Newspaper would still be better.
I kind of like paw patrol most because even though the quality isn't good at least it's stuff that kids around the age who watch paw patrol could enjoy playing with and not just completely useless. I feel like frozen and cars kept the budget low by making a handful of decent tiny toys and just filling the rest with cheap crap nobody wants, whereas paw patrol kept the budget low by filling it with usable stuff that's all crap quality but at least you can actually play with every item
I agree, I don't know why they're being so hard on the poor paw calendar. The items in it feel more usable than cardboard cutouts and plastic cones most of which are too small and you'll probably lose in a day.
amazing advent calader plan: Day 1: Cone Day 2: Cone Day 3: Cone Day 4: Cone Day 5: Cone Day 6: Cone Day 7: Cone Day 8: Cone Day 9: Cone Day 10: Cone Day 11: Cone Day 12: Cone Day 13: Cone Day 14: Cone Day 15: Cone Day 16: Cone Day 17: Cone Day 18: Cone Day 19: Cone Day 20: Cone Day 23: Cone Day 24: Cone
Like a thief in the night, she lifted the calendar from my hands and traced her slender fingers across the numbers -- stopping on Day Ten as if it beckoned to her. Without a word the door swings open revealing a golden wrapped bear. “See, this might have been enough” she claims as a smirk dances across her face, “but now it’s gonna cost you a favor”.
still mathematically possible for any of them to win, since there are still 90 points left to swing about. Plus 30 additional that can be taken off and given to another calendar. Only 60 points have been distributed thus far, plus a potential 20 redistributed.
Cone hype has made driving through the many roadworks of South East England much more fun. Although has led to me getting punched in the shoulder a lot by my missus.
You know the idea that if you've been bad Santa will give you coal? A calendar, with nothing but a small piece of coal everyday...would be in second place! "Yay! It's coal again"
I am beginning to feel like Ashens' blowtorch needs to make a Christmas cameo and warm up the Frozen kindling - Nothing like a roaring fire to set the holiday spirit alight.
Frozen- A *cardboard* horse (0) Cars 3- Another plastic traffic cone (FINALLY!) (10) Paw Patrol- Two felted pens, one green and the other yellow (0) Wera- The 5 bit (52)
I wish they would have been dinging Frozen more for its utter failure and missing parts. Wera is far and away the best, but I really think Paw Patrol and/or Cars (mostly paw patrol because its usable crafts supplies) should get points every time Frozen fails at packaging and is missing parts.
ducttapeanddreams Wera is unfairly winning. It cost 4x as much, is painfully repetitive, and is simply a single product split into annoying packaging. Paw Patrol is at least a surprise every day. Cars might have been a nice play set at a MSRP.
its a jojo reference Edit: i didnt know wether i wanted to actually explain it or just joke explain it so i did both. The whole "is that a moterfukin jojos reference?" Is just a meme so they say it cause its a reference to a reference that i then referenced
Christian Holm That's is really odd. It's like the Cap 'I understood that reference' reference. Making it so that acknowledging a reference is, in itself, a reference, can only lead to misunderstandings like this. Regardless, thanks for the correction.
At this point I would actually give points to Paw Patrol over the other 2, at least there's variety there. Kids would have a lot more fun with that than a cone or a cardboard cutout...
for what they're getting in the calendar, it's pretty cheap. other wera tools cost upwards of £128 from a quick google search for not much more and alot of the same stuff
You know, they kept saying the word "stand", and I was actively telling myself "Don't think of Jojo, don't think of Jojo", then Ashens just went ahead and mentioned it himself. Guys, you're feeding my bad habits, I'm trying to lay off the shitposting here.
I'm not sure what Jojo's is, but after seeing this comments section lose its goddamn mind over it, I'm filing it with "Stranger Things" and "Undertale" as something okay that has an insane fanbase.
Although they get more brief and angry, there’s more humor. Despite being filmed in one day, I feel like you guys capture exactly how the target audiences would actually feel. Poor kids....
Ok guys I hope you get food related calendars next year. I also hope you just award Wera for having the best prizes or whatever you call them in their calendar.
I think Sitron (the horse) deserves one point. Because at least he's in the calendar. (Poor horse doesn't get a lot of attention in other Frozen merchandise.)
WAIT A SECOND... where is that guy who for the last few years did the advent calendar thing along with this and posted about his experience every day? I just remembered about him and now I'm sad he's not here this year :(
isnt it actually nice how ashens and nerdcubed can just record them unpacking the advent calenders for idk maybe an hour. And then have the rest of teh month off .. lol
I have to say that of the kid-calendars Paw patrol's items have had more useable items. It seems they went for some arts&crafts while Frozen went for pointlessness and Cars went for guessing-games. I personally am exceedingly non-interested in Wera's calendar, it probably costs less and is less annoying to just go and buy a set.
jentzi23 it annoys me that they are giving so many points to wera. It's just a cheap bit set that probably costs a fraction of the price to buy off the shelf. It makes for a terribly repetitive calendar too. They should consider it cost 4 times as much as the other calendars.
For less money than the Cars calendar, you could buy 24 Kinder Eggs, so you get a better toy each day, PLUS an entire egg chocolate that tastes nice. Seriously, £35 or whatever it was for that bloody character, the company should be taken to Trading Standards
the Frozen one is a total gyp!! the Cars one is party sad too...i mean come on how many kids will actually use the cones in their new Cars advent calendar playset? While the kids will love their little toy cars the other pieces will end up under the couch and be found several years later. but i think we can agree the worse of the 4 is the Frozen one....i can see so many kids being so disappointed they are getting mostly cardboard cut outs instead of actual toy figures....
Is it coincidence that the felt tip pens are also in the same colours as our lord and saviours... i uh... the bringers of death and destruction, the grass masks?
Stuart Ashens, and his stand [ L I Q U I D F I L T H ]
Luke D NANI?!
I didn't realise he'd lost it! ua-cam.com/video/7ysUg5S4lRI/v-deo.html
Oh boy I wonder what will be in the wera one today
The depressing thing is despite that it's still orders of magnitude better than everything else
The designers should have messed with customers heads and hidden a nice piece of chocolate behind one of the doors.
Probably not an Elephant...
It's okay to poop the bed.
Probably a screwdriver piece
I said before that these calendars (except Wera) weren't even good enough to be used for kindling, but I might take that back. The Frozen one seems to be filled mostly with cardboard, so I suppose it would at least be acceptable as kindling.
Newspaper would still be better.
My brother got a justice league advent calendar this year, and just like their movies, it fell apart almost immediately
I actually love the Paw Patrol calendar. You can't predict what you'll get with that one.
#CONEHYPE
+Ryan - Maybe Sonic the Hedgehog. That would certainly fit in with its fans.
#CONEHYPE
Color the cones green and they'd almost be as cool as our Overlords
Anya
Just a quick note...
I actually love that profile picture.
#CONEHYPE
Was that two cones in a row? Come on now...
I would have actually given a point to Paw Patrol, it's at least trying today... sort of.
It has never tried, including today.
I kind of like paw patrol most because even though the quality isn't good at least it's stuff that kids around the age who watch paw patrol could enjoy playing with and not just completely useless. I feel like frozen and cars kept the budget low by making a handful of decent tiny toys and just filling the rest with cheap crap nobody wants, whereas paw patrol kept the budget low by filling it with usable stuff that's all crap quality but at least you can actually play with every item
true you can totally shove that stencil and stickers in your face
I agree, I don't know why they're being so hard on the poor paw calendar. The items in it feel more usable than cardboard cutouts and plastic cones most of which are too small and you'll probably lose in a day.
I can't believe Ashens of all people made a Jojo's reference
He knows all about those Chinese cartoons.
*originality is dead*
I'm not too surprised. He references "The Enigma of Amigara Fault" in one of his Poundland Food Specials.
He probably only knows it from the arcade game. He's a huge arcade buff anyway.
It's funny because the boring characters have stands
Loving Dan’s Yellow hand throughout this series, actually worried about it, you alright there buddy?
The fact that you recorded all these videos in one sitting is exhausting
Forget playing for second place. This is now playing for last place.
JoJo and Ashens, the combination no one expected.
As unexpected as I, DIO BRANDO
I suppose you could say it was bizarre.
amazing advent calader plan:
Day 1: Cone
Day 2: Cone
Day 3: Cone
Day 4: Cone
Day 5: Cone
Day 6: Cone
Day 7: Cone
Day 8: Cone
Day 9: Cone
Day 10: Cone
Day 11: Cone
Day 12: Cone
Day 13: Cone
Day 14: Cone
Day 15: Cone
Day 16: Cone
Day 17: Cone
Day 18: Cone
Day 19: Cone
Day 20: Cone
Day 23: Cone
Day 24: Cone
I checked, they still have 3 more cones to get through...
C O N E H Y P E
I have improved your plan: s/Cone/domino piece/g
And each cone is slightly larger than the previous one
Like a thief in the night, she lifted the calendar from my hands and traced her slender fingers across the numbers -- stopping on Day Ten as if it beckoned to her. Without a word the door swings open revealing a golden wrapped bear. “See, this might have been enough” she claims as a smirk dances across her face, “but now it’s gonna cost you a favor”.
That's a little terrifying.
You finally got her?
Nightenstaff these are amazing
You should write a book
You know, if there was an actual bear in the calendar instead of a chocolate one, this would be like a David Lynch thing.
With tat like this the inflatable crown from loot crate is starting to look pretty good.
xianbc FUCKING INFLATABLE FUCKING CROWN
When this series is over, I'm going to watch these videos consecutively, just to more fully appreciate the descent into madness.
So you can experience it exactly as it was recorded?
Scores:
Frozen- 0
Paw Patrol-(2)
Cars 3- 10
Wera- 52
its sad to say that it has the best chance to beat Wera
I would be the Wera thing, those parts look nice and solid.
Maybe don't use dashes when you need to convey a negative number?
Ehren Come back tomorrow for the new and improved format! Just in time for the holidays.
still mathematically possible for any of them to win, since there are still 90 points left to swing about. Plus 30 additional that can be taken off and given to another calendar. Only 60 points have been distributed thus far, plus a potential 20 redistributed.
Cone hype has made driving through the many roadworks of South East England much more fun.
Although has led to me getting punched in the shoulder a lot by my missus.
Finally managed to click on a video while it still said 'No views'. My life is now complete.
Krumpli That's a new way of saying first. I like it!
This never ends
I mean... It ends at day 26, but whatever makes you feel better, friendo
Bob Jones no it ends dec 26th
Yourpetcat meow or maybe day 24 opens a wormhole back to day 1 again
Or maybe not
I, for one, denounce the Grass Masks and accept our new cone overlords.
May the grass masks strike you down for such blasphemy
Grass masks are rubbish and overhyped.
Heathens!
(..look, cones are pretty cool and all, but they just aren't proper world domination material)
I remember that as a kid, traffic cones and other roadworks stuff was very important to me for my car play mat/rug thing to be more entertaining.
All of these videos I have been hearing the word "stand" and now Stuart is talking about Jojo's.
I love this future.
I just died of nostalgia when Stuart started singing the Horsie song
You know the idea that if you've been bad Santa will give you coal?
A calendar, with nothing but a small piece of coal everyday...would be in second place!
"Yay! It's coal again"
We love horsies, best of all the animals. We love horsies. They're our friends.
Vai Cavalo!
holy crap, that's an old meme
Mentski brings it up when playing games with horses in them.
How many people have been fucked to death by horses?
My lovely horse, running through the field...
WHERE'S THE GRASS MASK?!
You know0how much I look forward to this, I watch the adverts all, all the way through all the way through!!!
Of everything I expect from these advent calendar videos every year, and I love these videos, a Jojo reference was not on the god damn list.
The Paw Patrol one is so bad, I quite literally forgot you opened it. When you pulled up the Wera I thought "Wait, what about the other one?"
I am beginning to feel like Ashens' blowtorch needs to make a Christmas cameo and warm up the Frozen kindling - Nothing like a roaring fire to set the holiday spirit alight.
Every 10 days I'm going to go back and watch from the start...
I never thought I'd be reduced to excitement about a screwdriver set.
"What are we going to keep from this pile?"
A sense of quiet desperation and a feeling of existential angst?
Who is here for the anual rewatch marathon of all the advents?
I like how Dan changes cloths every day to write the new score on the board
You filmed all this in one run! The same clothes and nerds green hand......... I'm on to yous!!!!!
Frozen- A *cardboard* horse (0)
Cars 3- Another plastic traffic cone (FINALLY!) (10)
Paw Patrol- Two felted pens, one green and the other yellow (0)
Wera- The 5 bit (52)
I wish they would have been dinging Frozen more for its utter failure and missing parts. Wera is far and away the best, but I really think Paw Patrol and/or Cars (mostly paw patrol because its usable crafts supplies) should get points every time Frozen fails at packaging and is missing parts.

I'm only still watching for the bitter custody battle for Wera on Christmas day
#ConeHype
CONE HYPE
Cone hype
what the hell ashens making a jo jos reference
He is British
Cone hype! Cone hype!
Soundwave Superior come hipe come hipe
Megadiddy CONE HYPE! CONE HYPE! CONE HYPE!
The true beauty of cone hype (or "hipe," whichever you prefer) is the versatility of the hype cones.
Can everyone please stop asking if Ashens made a Jojo reference, as he literally told you it was Jojo reference less than 5 seconds later.
Bad Request You don't get the meme, do you?
its a jojo reference Edit: i didnt know wether i wanted to actually explain it or just joke explain it so i did both. The whole "is that a moterfukin jojos reference?" Is just a meme so they say it cause its a reference to a reference that i then referenced
Christian Holm That's is really odd. It's like the Cap 'I understood that reference' reference.
Making it so that acknowledging a reference is, in itself, a reference, can only lead to misunderstandings like this.
Regardless, thanks for the correction.
Dayzik do any of you actually find these repetitive memes funny?
Infelious Kazkari
Yeah.
Also If a meme isn't repititve its not a meme, that's called a joke.
Love how Dan's hand is slowly becoming more yellow...
It will be his whole arm soon!
Then it will consume him... Forever
"Can we give this horse gangrene?" is paw patrol's new motto
At this point I would actually give points to Paw Patrol over the other 2, at least there's variety there.
Kids would have a lot more fun with that than a cone or a cardboard cutout...
I kinda want to buy some Wera tools now.
for what they're getting in the calendar, it's pretty cheap. other wera tools cost upwards of £128 from a quick google search for not much more and alot of the same stuff
You know, they kept saying the word "stand", and I was actively telling myself "Don't think of Jojo, don't think of Jojo", then Ashens just went ahead and mentioned it himself.
Guys, you're feeding my bad habits, I'm trying to lay off the shitposting here.
Wow, the VLC calendar was great today
Was not expecting ashens to randomly talk about jojo
I imagine my brother would love that Frozzen calendar, seeing that it's almost entirely cardboard.
I love how everything is barely breaking even, but then Wera is at a whopping 52.
I'm not sure what Jojo's is, but after seeing this comments section lose its goddamn mind over it, I'm filing it with "Stranger Things" and "Undertale" as something okay that has an insane fanbase.
I always eat my advent calendar chocolate when watching these videos. My advent calendar cost 90 cents but is better than their calendars
Although they get more brief and angry, there’s more humor. Despite being filmed in one day, I feel like you guys capture exactly how the target audiences would actually feel. Poor kids....
As a kid I probably would enjoy a cardboard dollhouse if it was cut correctly to assemble
"Joy to the world the lord is cum.".
I hear it.
Every.
Single.
Time.
The cardboard horse is now another avatar for the Grass Masks.
A Jojo reference AND cone hype in the same video??? Best day 10 ever.
I am living for these videos, they are really making me laugh!
Holy shit, I never actually expected Ashens to make a Jojo reference, fucking awesome
that's one outstanding horse...
score tally:
-Wera 52
-Cars 10
-Frozen 0
-Paw Patrol -2
Yeah the more I watch these, the more I am convinced the only really interesting advent calenders with toys are like those of Lego.
Dan releases his STAND [ [ C O N E H Y P E ] ]
I am fucking loving this year's Advent calendars endlessly! :D
Ok guys I hope you get food related calendars next year. I also hope you just award Wera for having the best prizes or whatever you call them in their calendar.
Look at my horse... my horse is amazing..... que ptsd of remembering that was a thing
I have once bought a printer for 99 pounds. Good on you, Stuart.
Damn ashens just flushed all the weeaboos out of hiding, we must strike while the iron is hot and mock them!!! Hahahaha excellent
WE GOT CONE HYPE IN THE THUMBNAIL
Dan is either becoming the hulk or developing jaundice
I think Sitron (the horse) deserves one point. Because at least he's in the calendar. (Poor horse doesn't get a lot of attention in other Frozen merchandise.)
By day 24,you will have a nice Christmas present for your dad,Ashens.
WAS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING JOJO REFERENCE 1:40
I think they should have bought a Kars advent calendar instead.
László Szerémi NAISU
i JUSY FUVCKIHN E9IDW9OPDES9DOPFEKA
They got a Kars 3 one, good enough
@MrWooplet ah, you must be from the jojo community, the friendly behaviour gives it away, hello brother
I feel like Paw Patrol is being hard done by
That Jojo reference. My man Stuart knows his anime
Frozen Advent Calendar: Expect Nothing, Receive Less.
WAIT A SECOND... where is that guy who for the last few years did the advent calendar thing along with this and posted about his experience every day? I just remembered about him and now I'm sad he's not here this year :(
isnt it actually nice how ashens and nerdcubed can just record them unpacking the advent calenders for idk maybe an hour. And then have the rest of teh month off .. lol

I definitely expected Paw Patrol to have more dogs.
For less money than the Cars calendar, you could buy 24 Kinder Eggs, so you get a better toy each day, PLUS an entire egg chocolate that tastes nice.
Seriously, £35 or whatever it was for that bloody character, the company should be taken to Trading Standards
Bad Stu it sounds like he bought it off eBay because it is last year's calendar. I don't think they ever started the actual MSRP.
whats funny is i saw a frozen advent Calender at Walmart today and it has 25 fully painted figurines nice looking too
OH SHIT A JOJO REFERENCE MY LIFE IS COMPLETE NOW
Does the outro song get louder with each painful episode? It properly made me jump this time!
You should have taken points from Frozen today and given them to Paw Patrol. Felt pens are definitely better than cardboard horse.
Aw wow I'm early for once, yay! Hopefully this crapvent calander will be over soon and Ashens and Dan can be at peace once more.
Cone is the grass mask of 2017.
I was seriously scared for a moment thinking Dan dabbed in the #ConeHype bit
CONE HYPE!!!! Should be 3 points x'D
THE GREEN IS SPREADING
I'm surprised they haven't given up on the Frozen calendar and just opened up the whole thing yet
the Frozen one is a total gyp!! the Cars one is party sad too...i mean come on how many kids will actually use the cones in their new Cars advent calendar playset? While the kids will love their little toy cars the other pieces will end up under the couch and be found several years later. but i think we can agree the worse of the 4 is the Frozen one....i can see so many kids being so disappointed they are getting mostly cardboard cut outs instead of actual toy figures....
IT'S THE WORK OF AN ENEMY STAND!
Edit: OH MY GOD THEY KNOW JOJO'S!
You should go through next years calendars whilst getting drunk it may be more fun for you both lol
Since he said it, what would Stuart’s Stand be?
Is it coincidence that the felt tip pens are also in the same colours as our lord and saviours... i uh... the bringers of death and destruction, the grass masks?
