If you like Graham rapping here, let me introduce you to Graham's first ever rap ua-cam.com/video/Y5F0Zq7FxqU/v-deo.html Also here's Graham rapping about WOW: ua-cam.com/video/d9cinzkniHQ/v-deo.html And also here's this one: ua-cam.com/video/vwy1hHqRT3o/v-deo.html There's more, but I don't want to overwhelm you.
@@fractalsloth Google defines a "jeté" as "a jump in which a dancer springs from one foot to land on the other with one leg extended outward from the body while in the air."
I wasn't aware of the film myself but after looking up it it's definitely a reference to La Jetée. Cam's entire speech is basically the plot of the film adapted to a MTG setting. Also the 12 Kird Apes line is a reference to the film 12 Monkeys, which was inspired by La Jetée (and which also had a recent TV adaptation). After having looked this up I now understand how incredible that whole reference was.

I love it when LRR gets meta. Also when the loops first started I had the horrifying notion that Paul had somehow acquired the power of the fabled Time Walk and was abusing its powers for his own petty gain, but then it just went Futurama-esque "What If?" Machine on us. Twice.
First: that theme song rap made me tear up from joy. Second: Adam and Missy’s interactions were ADORABLE. Third: I want every single one of those shows to be real. Fourth: every single thing about this was perfect. *chef’s kiss*
This has got to be one of *the* best written, executed, and funny improv skits that LRR has ever done, bar none. And, clearly, someone has watched a good deal of trashy television. "Someone kidnapped Mowu? I'll kill them!" "Do they find out who kidnapped him?" "Maybe, but you'll have to wait for the next season"
Ok Paul, the conversation with Ben was 50/50 could have gone either way depending if you drew a land, I get why you mulled. But at the very least, that 4th conversation was totally keepable! Talk about greedy!
I think I would have gone with Missie's proposal, the fourth one. A bit campy, sure, but there's plenty of time to get darker and more serious in later seasons.
@@nickramos4012 12 kird apes refers to the film 12 monkeys (based off the film La Jetee, hence Umezawa's Jetee and not Umezawa's Jitte) is a film about (mild spoilers) a man (bruce willis), sent back in time whereupon he witnesses a murder that he'd previously been having nightmares about. time travel paradoxes and whatnot. the story Cam is telling uses characters and events from Magic's lore, but is a replica of 12 monkeys. I liked the reference plus the wordplay. hope that helps!
Fantastic, didn't disappoint. I missed the days when I would watch these every Friday and was still into magic, glad this one didn't require being up to date on cards. The mulligan concept is great
I. Love. Your. Work. SO. Much. Also, great use of Beej's aesthetic. Having him suddenly that close to Paul with that expression, on that face, with that line was perfect! lmao
Hi there, i'm Joke Explainer, and I'm here to explain you that the rap is a parody of the Bots Master theme song. You're welcome. Now, back to your comments.
Five planeswalkers going about their daily lives on their home planes, already being able to walk planes because origin stories suck. Everyone faces something out of the ordinary. Something weird. And dark. As they investigate, they begin to fathom a larger scene happening and the stories slowly become interconnected. Imagine Stranger Things, but with Planeswalkers. Then Jace and Vraska fuck.
Absolutely one of the BEST skits you’ve done. Loved all the ideas that fit into everyone’s character and the premise when I figured it out by the second go-round. 👍👍👍👍 And that rap was dank af.
4:19 Ohmygod, did they just quoted "la jete"? It's like an amazing short french photographic film made in the 80s (i can be wrong about the year), it's a masterpiece, wel done, well done
Okay, first of all great rap. Second of all, the concept of this episode is turned up to 11. Thirdly I WANT TO SEE CAM'S IDEA MADE REAL. Edit: Chair MVP.
@@TheRealPentigan London Mulligan would be if all 7 were there at the start of each conversation but Paul walks in and asks the relevant number to leave, since the other people in the scene stay the same this looks more like a Partial Paris Mulligan being used to surgically remove creatures from the opening conversation.
My pitch for the full rap (with minor edits): The multiverse is in a jam, a diabolical plan of a dragon man! Big Nicky B. and his various schemes are gonna make his evil dreams come true- What's up? We're the Gatewatch Crew, and we're here to save this plane for you! From Innistrad to Kamigawa, gonna beat Nicky B. until he's sowah! Ooooh, I'm Gideon, don't call me Chad, Or else I will be very mad! Speaking of- I hate that evil guy, he's just one big 'ol dragonfly! Using my color, a noble white, I'll sure give Nicky B. a fight! I'll get down, on the battlefield, and make sure that all my friends are healed! That's right! It's your main man Jace! Together we'll give Nicky B. a chase! But don't worry- I have a counterspell, so Nicky's tricks won't go so well! With my color- the truest blue, I'll tell you just what I will do, I'll read his mind, steal all of his thought, so he will have lost the battle we faught! Aw, yeah! It's Liliana! I like to cause a bit of drama! But it's fine, I always come around, and raise up zombies outta the ground! With my color, a pure dark black, its always safe to expect an attack- from my minions! Who die easily, but when they do, it's sure to please me! Say what? It's Chandra Nalaar! With me around, baddies won't get far! And before they have a chance to boast, I'll come over to give 'em a roast! With this color, a burning red, I'll give them some impending dread! I'm not afraid to do whatever I please, and take out Nicky B. with relative ease! Okay y'all! My name is Nissa! It's the end of the song, so we will miss ya! But don't you worry, no, not just yet, 'cause we have a show that you'll never forget! But first! My color is vibrant green! I prefer nature to modern machine! I'll call on my pals, who are woodland beasts, and when we're done we'll have many a feasts! [Backing Track Breakdown]
The whole show starts at a slowmo shot of several planewalkers fighting against Bolas. Each episode is a flashback that starts by zooming up into one of the characters eyeballs and showing their whole backstory and how they got there. During each of these flashbacks you come to hate Bolas a bit more. Season 1 ends with an episode that zooms into Bolas's eye and his flashback is so heartbreaking that it makes you empathize with him more than with anyone else.

Graham is officially my favorite member of LRR due to the rap alone
Graham became the best with his line delivery in their Shadows Over Innistrad episode.
Well, G's no stranger to rapping, after all.
Botsmaster!
I don't know. Paul seems to be some sort of mad god, so he may be my favorite.
Yeah, I miss 64K
The empty chair rolling in got me.
Sameeee
It killed me
Ditto
Yep
"Chair friend! I crave discourse.. and since I don't use social media, I've come to you."
Ok but that rap was actually kinda sick
no no it "slapped"
If you like Graham rapping here, let me introduce you to Graham's first ever rap

And also here's this one: ua-cam.com/video/vwy1hHqRT3o/v-deo.html
There's more, but I don't want to overwhelm you.
And sickening
You'd like the intro to Bots Master, where he DEFINITELY took inspiration.
I want to see the full song now
God, the line "I can't mulligan lower than zero", "No, you can't" gave me chills
He is so good at those weird spooky deliveries
I need this as a gif
Beej is AMAZING
Beej is gonna be Beej.
YOU CANNOT ESCAPE THE BEEJ! There are consequences to mulliganing to zero.
"That Take is so cold it taps for snow mana" may just be the best line in living memory - Magnificent, Paul. Truly magnificent

Holy crap Cam's Jetée/Jitte joke was masterful.
what is a Jetée? Google isn't returning my calls
@@fractalsloth Google defines a "jeté" as "a jump in which a dancer springs from one foot to land on the other with one leg extended outward from the body while in the air."
@@fractalsloth look for La Jetée. It's a 1962 black and white short film
I wasn't aware of the film myself but after looking up it it's definitely a reference to La Jetée. Cam's entire speech is basically the plot of the film adapted to a MTG setting. Also the 12 Kird Apes line is a reference to the film 12 Monkeys, which was inspired by La Jetée (and which also had a recent TV adaptation).
After having looked this up I now understand how incredible that whole reference was.
They even slowly turned the video black-and-white while he was talking! Thank you for helping me understand the reference. :D
That end scene with beej, OMG. This proves that beej is immune to Magic and its wacky powers that it creates in the rest if the crew.
I was hoping Beej would come out to unf*ck this Plain
Actually, he's started playing.
@@mattweickert23 Maybe Gardening with Greg: Multiplaner Fauna edition. Make sure your innistrad weeds and trees don't taint your Zendikar plant tokens.
A side effect of his taking the "Time Capsule," Similar to the Phenomenon known as "Meej"
Immune to Magic? I thought Beej was the equivilent of the top deck on Paul's first draw.

Hawk of Battle or like the community episode!
It was pronounced. There was no way I could read it. But I know. I KNOW it's written "Karn's Korner" and not "Karn's Corner".
I agree with you.
Oh, absolutely!
Karn's Kloistered Korner
You are korrect
"Umezawa's Jette" is the best possible parody of a movie
Everyone talking about the rap, but what about Cameron's screenplay?
I'm pretty sure it's just the plot to Visions by Haken. lol
It's la Jetée, or more popularly known as 12 Monkeys.
Everyone’s talking about the rap and the screenplay, but what about the high school idea?
@@kevinlemley5962 The joke is that it's the plot of "La Jetee", a relatively famous French arthouse sci-fi film. Hence "Umezawa's Jetee"
@@psychocrysis2 and also the secondary joke of the screenplay being "12 Monkeys"
I literally applauded when James's empty chair rolled in, absolutely hilarious!
Same. 11/10 episode.
Did he loose weight? Or is it the beard? Whatever it is, congrats to james!
@@Baektas Both
I'm a minute in and several events have already taken place.
I have fallen in love with Graham, and I have found my new ringtone.
"No, you cant." God damn, Beej, I cannot believe how good your comedic timing is. Reminds me of the coffee crapshoot. Bravo.
understanding Cameron's La Jetée reference is the only time in my life i felt two years of A-level film studies was worth it.
I....I loved this
THE LONELY CHAIR ROLLING IN FROM OFF FRAME KILLED ME
Great job making a Futurama episode, and great job with that rap
I love this episode. And this series. And this group.
Also that rap TOTALLY SLAPPED. Get it Graham 😎
First: that theme song rap made me tear up from joy. Second: Adam and Missy’s interactions were ADORABLE. Third: I want every single one of those shows to be real. Fourth: every single thing about this was perfect. *chef’s kiss*
Super late, but the fact that Beej appears when Paul can not mulligan means that he is the topdeck
This has got to be one of *the* best written, executed, and funny improv skits that LRR has ever done, bar none. And, clearly, someone has watched a good deal of trashy television.
"Someone kidnapped Mowu? I'll kill them!"
"Do they find out who kidnapped him?" "Maybe, but you'll have to wait for the next season"
Adams Emrakul Kozilek "would they, can they" slayed me.
Paul killed it in this! His comedic timing is so on point.
The mulligans are crazy now, first thin I thought about. And I can’t wait for the Magic The Gathering Cartoon😂‼️
I LOL'd hard at the empty chair rolling out towards the end there.
Ok Paul, the conversation with Ben was 50/50 could have gone either way depending if you drew a land, I get why you mulled. But at the very least, that 4th conversation was totally keepable! Talk about greedy!
“Never mulligan below 3”
-The Professor
See I understand that the conversation with Cameron had no interaction, but it was a solid hand he didn’t need to mulligan it away.
I think I would have gone with Missie's proposal, the fourth one. A bit campy, sure, but there's plenty of time to get darker and more serious in later seasons.
are you kidding? on the draw the 1st conversation is totally keepable!
@@alesamuel7917 No Way. If that were my opening hand I'd concede the match, give away all my cards, move to the country, and become a deranged hermit!
I really like hearing that cold take Adam. I hope it’s well written when it FINALLY releases in the distant future
Oh my god, "Umezawa's Jette"/"12 Kird Apes" is one of the best jokes I've heard in ages.
"No Blue Mage is an Island" lmaoooooooooo
im amazed i got the La Jete and 12 monkeys references- that was deeeeep

This string of high concept Friday Nights episodes is absolutely killing me. Excellent work from everyone involved!
Graham needs to make a full rap album
The editing choice to cut right back to them staring in disgust after the intro is what got me laughing the most here
The real question is, what order did Paul put them in when placing them all in the basement?
WUBRG by rarity, then alphabetical. Duh.
I think he didn't properly consider the London mul rules a judge should give him a warning for that.
Graham's Rap, the La Jetee reference, and the empty chair rolling in were all amazing.
Hi there, i'm Joke Explainer, and I'm here to explain you that the rap is a parody of the Bots Master theme song.
You're welcome. Now, back to your comments.
"that take is so cold it taps for snow mana" Paul coming in with the freezerburn.
I love this series keep up the good work guys
... I have watched this a dozen times, and how, JUST NOW, IN 2022, DID I REALIZE EACH TIME HE MULLIGANED THE LAST PERSON WHO SPOKE WAS MISSING?!
Not really, in the penultime the last person to speak is the only on remaining in the next one
“I can’t mulligan lower than zero.”
“No. You can’t.”
Wasn’t expecting that level of...is it foreshadowing I’m thinking of?
“Umezawa’s Jetee” is the greatest joke Cameron has ever made
Five planeswalkers going about their daily lives on their home planes, already being able to walk planes because origin stories suck. Everyone faces something out of the ordinary. Something weird.

He and Alex Alex definietly tried making a crapshot with that joke during a CrapShoot! I'm so happy he finally found somewhere to put it.
coming here to say it finally got announced to go into production today!!!! 😁
So is Beej coming in from the sideboard??
BTW: I always love these, but that rap was the best.
I'm assuming Paul's Library, and he is NOT a fan of this topdeck.
Beej was on the draw, you don't get to discard until your hand is more than 7 so Beej has to stay.
This video is full of gems. Most wholeheartedly agree with Adam’s take on the show: “I don’t care what the story is, I just want it well written”.
Holy cow James has lost a lit of weight, definitely looks good
I was feeling weird no one commented on that, like am I the only one that didn't know? gosh... Good for his health I guess.
Hair though is so different
Just about to make that comment! He looks great!
Ethan winnett dude it blew my mind
was thinking the same
Marketing for the MTG Netflix show, excellent instrumentation of what a mulligan is, and top notch comedy. This has got it *all*.
That old town road card hurts me inside.
This was amazing. One of the best episodes in the series period. So many good gags. I haven't laughed that loud for a long, long time.
"I've read a lot of these novels, and they don't actually have to make sense."
I mean....yeah ok fair.
I loved the rap and the chair like everyone else, but the lighter was also such a great moment!
Okay, first of all great rap. Second of all, the concept of this episode is turned up to 11. Thirdly I WANT TO SEE CAM'S IDEA MADE REAL.
Edit: Chair MVP.
Turned up to 7!
The Umezawa's Jetée joke is actually incredible 😂
They are using the old muligan xD
No I think he’s purposely choosing to get rid of certain people
7:48 James’s chair casually sliding into the room 😂
It gets better every god damn episode. Those fools just keep doing it
I saw the chair gag coming from a mile away but I loved it and laughed my ass off, good stuff
Graham while your enthusiasm is much appreciated, it's raps like that that give us the 4kids one piece dub.
I have no idea why Paul is the only person who's time shenanigans raise no eyebrows.
100 goblin sized crater hoofs; The ETBs would go crazy!!!!
0/1's because a 1/1 while typical for a goblin aren't really small enough when craterhoof is already only a 5/5 stat block.
That rap at the beginning was amazing! Also the empty rolling chair was hilarious!
Great episode! Anybody else get "The Darkest Timeline" episode of Community vibes from this?
All because Paul rolled a 1!
1:35 that was the best MTG rap I’ve ever heard and I have heard a great many 😂😂
This was really funny... also made me realize that I should should check out MTG on AO3.
10:00 you can still concede
I always enjoy these and usually get a laugh from the jokes, but that chair gag ended me
I'm crying - both from laughter and at just how beautiful this work of art is.
I kind of love Missy's idea for the show unironically.
This was some of Graham's best writing work! Kudos!
If you use the London Mulligan you are forced to kick out your least good friends but it does result in more playable conversations overall.
That's what he did. That's why the person who most recently delivered him cursed content is the one that vanished!
@@TheRealPentigan London Mulligan would be if all 7 were there at the start of each conversation but Paul walks in and asks the relevant number to leave, since the other people in the scene stay the same this looks more like a Partial Paris Mulligan being used to surgically remove creatures from the opening conversation.
This came out on my birthday, this is the fifth time I’ve watched this.
I’d love some Nahiri vs Sorin or a focus on Sarkhan, Ajani or Tamiyo
I, too, would love some Nahiri on Sorin action I mean what?
Just listened to the "Santa and Me" rap from LRR 7 years ago....WHY IS THERE NOT AN ANIMATED VERSION OF G's Rap???
See what you did there
Every reset is removing a person
Just like a mulligan
The london mulligan as you tuck away the worst in each conversation
This has got to be one of my favorite Friday Nights ever. Everything about it is pure gold.
This is the B E S T episode of Friday Night. So much l♥ve. LRR is absolutely amazing. Top drawer.
Today I learned that I need more MTG-themed lyrics in my life
My pitch for the full rap (with minor edits):
The multiverse is in a jam,
a diabolical plan of a dragon man!
Big Nicky B. and his various schemes
are gonna make his evil dreams come true-
What's up? We're the Gatewatch Crew,
and we're here to save this plane for you!
From Innistrad to Kamigawa,
gonna beat Nicky B. until he's sowah!
Ooooh, I'm Gideon, don't call me Chad,
Or else I will be very mad!
Speaking of- I hate that evil guy,
he's just one big 'ol dragonfly!
Using my color, a noble white,
I'll sure give Nicky B. a fight!
I'll get down, on the battlefield,
and make sure that all my friends are healed!
That's right! It's your main man Jace!
Together we'll give Nicky B. a chase!
But don't worry- I have a counterspell,
so Nicky's tricks won't go so well!
With my color- the truest blue,
I'll tell you just what I will do,
I'll read his mind, steal all of his thought,
so he will have lost the battle we faught!
Aw, yeah! It's Liliana!
I like to cause a bit of drama!
But it's fine, I always come around,
and raise up zombies outta the ground!
With my color, a pure dark black,
its always safe to expect an attack-
from my minions! Who die easily,
but when they do, it's sure to please me!
Say what? It's Chandra Nalaar!
With me around, baddies won't get far!
And before they have a chance to boast,
I'll come over to give 'em a roast!
With this color, a burning red,
I'll give them some impending dread!
I'm not afraid to do whatever I please,
and take out Nicky B. with relative ease!
Okay y'all! My name is Nissa!
It's the end of the song, so we will miss ya!
But don't you worry, no, not just yet,
'cause we have a show that you'll never forget!
But first! My color is vibrant green!
I prefer nature to modern machine!
I'll call on my pals, who are woodland beasts,
and when we're done we'll have many a feasts!

I'm still very proud of this
"All this, for a mulligan joke." - Thanos, 2019 - MagicFest Denver
The netflix show will probably be hours of people not drawing lands
If it isnt it isnt showing magic properly and thus ruins the games integrity
With a climactic scene of Chandra and Bolas discussing whether or not to take a friendly mulligan.
@@fafdsfr and teferi being the overall god of the battlefield as always
1:15
Just a shortcut to the rap, you are welcome
Took me a while but eventually I noticed after each mulligan the cast got smaller.
The show has been amazing lately!
It feels like every episode has a unique and creative premise that's well executed
You guys need to fix that audio issue at the beginning of ur videos. A really loud noise.
Fast track button idea "I can't mulligan lower than zero"
Sucks the Netflix show got canceled, but they probably would have butchered mtg.
The whole show starts at a slowmo shot of several planewalkers fighting against Bolas. Each episode is a flashback that starts by zooming up into one of the characters eyeballs and showing their whole backstory and how they got there. During each of these flashbacks you come to hate Bolas a bit more.
Season 1 ends with an episode that zooms into Bolas's eye and his flashback is so heartbreaking that it makes you empathize with him more than with anyone else.
Obviosly the 100 gremlin sized craterhoof behemoth would win because they'd all buff each other to an insane amount
This has to be one of the best FN episodes so far. Good concept, clean execution, outstanding rapsmanship.
Savidan's Emrakul and Kozilek fingers. That got me.
To be honest, that rap slapped
I counted everyone in the room the first time and was very happy with the direction the bit went from there.
I like how somebody leaves just like in magic”s mulligan
