Should I port Squeeze The Juice to TTS to keep it alive? Or should I toss it into the flames and watch it burn for good? Let me know below and mention any other celebrity games that you'd like to see me cover soon!
I was 10 years old during this trial, so I can confidently sum it up for all of my younger friends: "My God, is this over yet? Animaniacs are on in 5 minutes!"
On the one hand, I could definitely see this making the WBGOAT tournament 2; it rips off monopoly, rips of gay monopoly somehow, and has a theme that would either be irrelevant to a contemporary audience or inflammatory to an audience back when this released. On the other hand, the concept of competeing with other lawyers to squeeze OJ out of money is genuinely hilarious, and there are several other monopoly variants that it will have to compete with, like Ms. Monopoly, Cheaters Edition, and For Millennials, who have worse gameplay than Monopoly instead of the same gameplay. In any case, I definitely had a Fung time watching this video.
@@Logan-tz1ry I think it'd be a cool to have a First Four style play-in match where this goes up against another borderline Monopoly title like Sore Losers to see what the public thinks should make the tournament proper.
The thing about the OJ Simpson trial is that he totally did it, but the LAPD was so ridiculously racist that they pretty much ruined all the actual evidence. That's why it was an acquittal: there was no evidence that wasn't tampered with. Also he was rich. Being rich helped a lot.
Not even that, it's because they had a history of being racist. The jurors that were chosen, have come out and said, that they mainly voted that he was innocent, because he was black.
That plus a number of other factors, like prosecutors trying to explain DNA (and DNA evidence) to laypersons in 1995. And the prosecutors not filing the case in Santa Monica and ending up with a jury that was 75% black. And multiple jurors saying at voir dire that they believe pro athletes are less likely to commit Mordor and that sometimes DV is acceptable. The prosecution completely bungled jury selection and even where the case was filed.
You know, I can just vividly imagine some guy going through a confrontation with his girlfriend that ends with her breaking up with him, leading to him crying and falling into despair before checking his phone and seeing a notification with the title "The OJ Simpson Board Game" that just makes him laugh his ass off and save him from harming himself
when i read the title i was like "oh this is one of those board games they made when he was super popular that aged very poorly" but like no this is like if they made a bill cosby board game AFTER it came out that he drugged those women. insane
The most I know about the OJ Simpson trials is that one of my college professors said he actually interviewed OJ after the trial. I can't provide proof but one of the things he said was "I didn't kill nobody"
I've seen so many _Monopoly_ reskins, both from your video on it and my personal experience, that I could tell this was such *immediately* when I saw the legal brief cards. And hell yeah, I want to see this capitalization on an unusual chapter of American legal history immortalized in Tabletop Simulator!
It was a combination of that and the 32/12 in the components that triggered my Monopoly Senses. It seems like it’s scaled by 50 from the real game, so it’s not IMMEDIATELY obvious?
the themeing is so good that if it was themed any better it wouldn't be legally sellable but it does show its short production cycle. if given more time it could totally touch on the lawyer bit it was going for more in actual gameplay and reflected the massive bias that led to no not tampled with evidence in its themeing.
According to an article from The Independent dated October 10, 1995, OJ allegedly planned on suing the makers of this game. Don't know if he went through with it. And the same article features a blurb about a "The People vs. OJ Simpson Trivia Game" coming out at around the same time. And if that wasn't enough, according to a Facebook Marketplace listing that is no longer for sale, apparently there was a game called "Trial of the Century" that was ALSO based on the case. And if THAT wasn't enough, there's pictures of a prototype board game called "Play OJ!" from the time floating around. ...why are there multiple OJ Simpson board games? I get it, the trial was super high-profile, but still.
The craziest part is the moment when you realize that you could reenact the entirety of the OJ Simpson trial in less time than it takes to get through a single playthrough of DW: TCfNA 1940-43
Best part about Squeeze the Juice is actually that you, the player, are the pawn, and you've already lost to the games creators by buying a monopoly reskin that they created to squueze the juice out of the OJ trial
Due to the fact that I’m currently obsessed with Ace Attorney and as a result the legal terminology here is making my brain make happy chemicals, I feel like I could have a lot of fun with a game like this…. IF IT WASN’T THEMED AROUND REAL ACTUAL PEOPLE
Kam, you have automatic translations and dubbing on! Brodie Robertson made a video about why it sucks, I recommend you check it out and turn the settings off. - A Brazilian viewer
Honestly this has a mad magazine vibe to it. Especially for the time period. I kind of wonder if the company was more like the equivalent of a pseudonym. Probably just talkin out my ass though.
At first I though the opening part was a joke about someone else's name being similar to OJ's, but then I remembered that he actually did do things in his life other than, you know, that one other thing.
If Cochran didn't trademark that sing-song statement about acquitting because the glove not fitting he's probably kicking himself now because I guarantee he could've made at least twice what OJ paid him as a defense attorney just in royalties alone for licensing out that phrase.
Already mentioned this in a community post, but leaving it here so more people can see it. Last year I watched a video about a bizarre, over the top musical based on The Creature From The Black Lagoon. During the musical, the creature himself sings a few songs, during the first he name drops or compares himself to a bunch of celebrities, O.J. Simpson included. So I joked, "Is the O.J. Simpson one why he needs a bride?".
"The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings." I'm learning more about that "number of things" every day. Like a board game based on the FREAKING OJ SIMPSON TRIAL. And you know what? It DOES help make me happy. ^.^
Fun fact: Here in Buffalo at our home field, Highmark Stadium, OJ's name is still on the "Wall of fame" that encircles the bleachers. Seems like they'll be removing that though and putting the names to a lil "Family circle" (or whatever they're calling it) outside the stadium though I don't know if he'll still be there. Go Bills!
We've made something similar in italy with a monopoly ripoff called "merendopoli", the name derives from an alleged serial killer that operated for years in Florence, all referring to the killer and his friends (the "compagni di merende", quite literally "brunch buddies") who, apparently, operated toghether in their murders. Now, the case is fairly known in Italy for its trial, and during these last few years it has gained major traction from the memes it has generated.
Dammit as soon as you first showed the legal brief I was like "...Dammit is this just monopoly?" And it was. And I was sad. Makes sense how they could pump it out so fast though, they didn't actually have to do any game design, just had to come up with enough references to the trial for it to relabel everything. Which, admittedly, isn't trivial. It probably took some work to cover everything, and obviously parts of it are a real stretch that is only because of the fact they are copying monopoly. But still, not needing to actually invent any rules except for including their own shitty house rules from monopoly cuts out most of the time.
Me near the beginning of the vid: oh, this game got pumped out quickly. Maybe the designers used a pre-existing gameplay template ripped off from another popular game to save time. Cam: ITS A FRIGGIN MONOPOLY CLONE!!! Me: Called it!
The theming of a Monopoly style game to that of shady shyster lawyers squeezing every drop out of some celebrity trial would be an interresting set up... buuuuut... maybe not OJ.
They're allowed to use real figures without needing permission as, at least some of them, are deemed as public figures which loses them legal protections on what can or cannot be done with their likeness. It's also tied to _how_ their likeness is used, which is why a board game about the OJ trial didn't need permission but one about his football career would.
Somebody's weird Monopoly house rules, preserved in amber along with a fleeting moment of culture. Of course you should extract it and reanimate it in the modern world, that can't possibly go wrong. Chris Pratt's open hands will ward off any and all side effects.
That’s why they call him the juice, baby Also for other celebrity board games, I know Caitlyn Jenner had a decathlon board game made before her transition
I was 6 during this trial, and i remember nothing about it. HOwever, sadly, the most important thing that 'came out' from this was the Kardashians. I also see that you waited until the celebrity was dead before you reviewed their board game this time. Also, i have a picture of OJ and Nicole that my mom randomly took when she saw them in Las Vegas, not sure what i can do with it though.

PORT PORT PORT
PORT!
If it's a board game of any sort, you must-a port.
You should also port Rap Rat to TTS
PORT for BLUEBERRY BOY
I was 10 years old during this trial, so I can confidently sum it up for all of my younger friends: "My God, is this over yet? Animaniacs are on in 5 minutes!"
Congratulations, you are probably the smartest person in the room at that time.
The never-ending car chase.
Bro got his priorities straight
@@DeconvertedMan it was more of a police escort really.
Lol, @@jadedheartsz
The weirdest board games always come in circles, Gay monopoly, Squeeze the Juice, demonic summoning sigils.
Each decade needs its own weird circle game to represent the times
What are the properties in demonic summoning sigils? I can't find the cards.
@@MechFung soon
@@TauGeneration I don't need soon I need now, I got a game night today and I can't play the game!
I so wanna see a demonic summoning sigil ripoff of Monopoly now.
Man, I can't believe they came out with such a unique and interesting rule set in less than 12 months. It must have been hard for them.
Remember, you need pressure to form diamonds
You're telling me it isn't a Clue spin-off where everyone knows who did it?
You must convince everyone that it was other guy
i've actually read some books that give compelling arguments that O.J. did not murder Ron and Nicole.
@@jadedheartsz Yeah, now read the one where he explains how he did it
@@SylviaRustyFae that book was largely ghostwritten by someone else so I take it with a grain of salt.
Can't wait to get my gloves on this game!
Make sure you've picked the right size
Well if they don’t fit, you know what you’re gonna have to do
Such a shame this wasn't a solo rendition of eight hours of le mans with a white bronco

That's why they found him liable in his civil trial.

8:47 is the most Scott The Woz esque humor ive seen out of Kam and i mean that that is a compliment
Kam really is the Scott the Woz's Board James of all time. In a good way of course.
It even has a Sympathy Vote-esque bit, it's great
Scott *did* make a skit based around a trial too...

I mean, as OJ knew, worse things can happen after breaking up with your partner.
Are you okay brother

The “Sex? With women please.” Caught me off guard and was hilarious

KamSandwich: “I am out of controversial board games.”
Also Kam: “Merry Christmas everyone!”
Two thousand yards in a fourteen game season is simply unreal
A fantasy football monster
OJ's longest run ever was in a Ford Bronco
Some guys would kill for stats like that.
The most I know about the OJ Simpson trials is that one of my college professors said he actually interviewed OJ after the trial. I can't provide proof but one of the things he said was "I didn't kill nobody"
Of course, he killed a person not a body...
That's a double negative. He's technically right.
I don't even play board games, I just like the bloke and his sense of humour.

this is the only video of yours that has audibly made me yell “THE WHAT?!?!?!” upon seeing the thumbnail and title. good job, kam.
add Rap Rat to Table Top Simulator
do not tempt him... the rat must not spread...
someone did that already
@@T1MAGEDDONHow deprived do you have to be in order to think "You know what TTS needs? Freaking Rap Rat"
It's on Tabletop Simulator, but youtube videos iirc are currently broken on there.
Can't wait to play this game with all my fellow members of OJ Simpson defense team
the fact the entire game is based on monopoly gives a pretty clear view on what the game makers were trying to say about the legal system
According to an article from The Independent dated October 10, 1995, OJ allegedly planned on suing the makers of this game. Don't know if he went through with it.
And the same article features a blurb about a "The People vs. OJ Simpson Trivia Game" coming out at around the same time.

...why are there multiple OJ Simpson board games? I get it, the trial was super high-profile, but still.
IIRC he was sued in civil court and went out of his way to never pay that off; likely if OJ sued he'd have had to give up all the cash he got.
The craziest part is the moment when you realize that you could reenact the entirety of the OJ Simpson trial in less time than it takes to get through a single playthrough of DW: TCfNA 1940-43
That’s a box that’s seen a lot of time in the store window . . .
Best part about Squeeze the Juice is actually that you, the player, are the pawn, and you've already lost to the games creators by buying a monopoly reskin that they created to squueze the juice out of the OJ trial
To avoid another "incident," Kam has decided to talk about a board game of a celebrity who's already dead!
Plot twist: someone ends up resurrecting OJ after this video
Circular board is a nice representation of the fact that these trial proceedings and the associated carry-on really did go "round and round"
I have never been so thoroughly bamboozled by a board game in my entire life, none of this is what I was expecting, I am in awe
Due to the fact that I’m currently obsessed with Ace Attorney and as a result the legal terminology here is making my brain make happy chemicals, I feel like I could have a lot of fun with a game like this…. IF IT WASN’T THEMED AROUND REAL ACTUAL PEOPLE
No I don't want to squeeze OJ Simpson.
The beginning reminds me of the family guy subliminal messaging joke. Great work!
It's okay. I wasn't alive at the time either so we can do this together
slams palms on desk *OBJECTION*
Kam, you have automatic translations and dubbing on!
Brodie Robertson made a video about why it sucks, I recommend you check it out and turn the settings off.
- A Brazilian viewer
The dubbing is so poorly translated and (even when translated right) so hard to understand in every single video, I mean it. 😭
Honestly this has a mad magazine vibe to it. Especially for the time period. I kind of wonder if the company was more like the equivalent of a pseudonym. Probably just talkin out my ass though.
I’m shocked this is Monopoly and the Trump game ISNT
Don't forget to wear your murdes gloves. I mean game gloves. Game gloves.
If the board game makes you want to spit, then you must acquit.
You need to port Capital Punishment first.
At first I though the opening part was a joke about someone else's name being similar to OJ's, but then I remembered that he actually did do things in his life other than, you know, that one other thing.
Oh boy... what a video to finally catch the release of. Surprisingly lacking of wack crap, though.
A board game based on the OJ Simpson trial that's a rip-off of Monopoly?
This really says a lot about our society (?)
If Cochran didn't trademark that sing-song statement about acquitting because the glove not fitting he's probably kicking himself now because I guarantee he could've made at least twice what OJ paid him as a defense attorney just in royalties alone for licensing out that phrase.
Wise idea to save this for after his death, less you cause another murder.

to be fair to them, "OJopoly" simply doesn't roll off the tongue as well as Squeeze the Juice
We've made something similar in italy with a monopoly ripoff called "merendopoli", the name derives from an alleged serial killer that operated for years in Florence, all referring to the killer and his friends (the "compagni di merende", quite literally "brunch buddies") who, apparently, operated toghether in their murders.
Now, the case is fairly known in Italy for its trial, and during these last few years it has gained major traction from the memes it has generated.
So is this the start of a series on board games based on "alleged" killers?
That reveal for the gameplay had the same energy of "it's f***ing Mario kart again!"
I keep forgetting his first name was Orenthal and it shocks me every time I hear it
Insane clown posse has a board game: the quest for shangri-la
This game pairs well with the late 90's hit, "Diddy Diddler?" a Clue-esque experience.
8:58 I'm dead 💀
Can't wait for when you ultimately make your own board game with elements of all the games you've showed on the channel.
So Squeeze the Juice is essentially Monopoly: Lawyers edition.
The best thing to come out of the OJ Simpson trial is Jackie Chiles in Seinfeld.
tbh i only learned about oj simpson being a football player after his death
