This year must have been absolute torture for Dan since in previous years he has been extremely competitive and would fight for why his objectively worse items best Stuart's. This year his calendars are so shite he can't even begin to argue for his items
He's lost what, three years running now? Maybe he's finally broken.
Only Fools and Barbie
I really dislike how Dan is ultracomptetitive and Stuart backs down many times cuz he's normal. Dan's got a lot of unearned wins, so these indefensible losses feel... poetic.
The quality of the calenders has been so abysmal this way that I'm actually getting bored of these videos. They're not even bad in a fun or funny way, they're giving Dan and Ashens zero to work with, which is why Dan's very obviously taken to exaggerating his reactions to keep things "fun". But even that's beginning to feel flaccid now.
@@DoctorBastardI believe every year Dan has lost maybe not physically but mentally, every year it gets worse.
So, thanks to advent calendars Dan has become:
• Lactose intolerant;
• Spice intolertant;
• Comedy intolerant.
On the twelvth year of advent, my calendar gave to me...
12 anger management therapy sessions,
11 years of debt,
10 barnyard animals (not to scale),
9 stupid stickers,
8 hours of caffeine shakes (f'n pensioners breakfast),
7 eldritch lettuce,
6 hours on the toilet (f'n cheese!)
5 who/trek swag I actually liked! (and paid through the nose for)
4x worse vision (reading manuals),
3 missing helicopter parts,
2 spice-induced ulcers,
and a reliable reindeer that haunts my dreams!
The calendars have turned him British
And afraid of Paw Patrol dogs
I really want to know how on earth eating some cheese made him lactose intolerant. That just sounds to me like he already was, and didn't know it.
@@BioYuGi If I recall, he lives in a vegan or vegetarian household so it's probably been a long time since he's had dairy. If you stop eating dairy, your gut bacteria could lose the ability to digest it. Additionally, it's not uncommon to develop lactose intolerance as one ages. Some diseases and surgeries can also spur lactose intolerance (certain intestinal infections, celiac disease, Crohn's, etc).
So yeah, the cheese probably didn't cause the intolerance. He may have had it for some time but ate so little dairy that he never associated the two as being a problem. Then the mother of all cheese advent calendars rears it's evil head. I dunno about 2020, but usually he films all of these calendar days in one day. Thus, he ate a massive amount of penalty cheese in one go before he could realize he was lactose intolerant. This probably caused him quite a lot of agony and he ended up at the doctor with a diagnosis.
I never thought I would see calendars that broke Dan more then the cheese. I was wrong. LMAO
The cheese calendar broke Dan’s body but, the OFAH Calendar broke his soul.
The cheese....
Love how Stuart specifically turned the camera so that Dan could more easily do the puzzle in frame and he STILL couldn't keep it in frame.
I noticed that too, they switched to the other camera angle for the entire duration of Stuart moving the one on the table and then moving it back to where it was. I’m guessing that camera went out of focus so they couldn’t use the footage
On the plus side, if Dan doesn't off himself in the next couple of days, he's now a highly trained locksmith thanks to all the metal puzzles....😂
He will break into Ashens' house and steal his sofa as a revenge.
@@Boltscrap 😅😅😅
@@Boltscrap Dan and the Brown Sofa Heist
Lock picking Nerd³
@@amaruqlonewolf3350 First time I've seen the words "Dan" and "Brown" put together in an entertaining context.
The Barbie calendar seems like it's made out of machine droppings from the Mattel factory. Like they swept up the floors, gathered all the plastic shit that fell off the conveyors over the years and stuffed them in a calendar.
The way Ashens opened that grip seal bag was the mark of a psychopath. I hope he treated his stay fresh cheese bags better than that!
no doubt he did
Chaotic evil behavior at its finest.
Have you ever seen how he eats KitKat?
@@VoceCorale Or how he cuts a hotdog roll?
stay fresh, cheese bags
Perhaps this would be an ideal time to bring back Ashens' blowtorch for the Barbie calendar?
Dan really beat the hell out of that Only Fools and Horses calendar when it started playing music in the beginning.
Including the fact he still has a calendar slot with nothing in it (Unless I missed it, which is very plausable)
@@SamPhoenix_ Yeah, that one was opened a while ago.
@@mattpace1026 Shows exactly how engaged I am with these calendars, I’m just here for the Military Man calendar and watching Dan try to solve these puzzles now tbh
How much longer can Dan beat a dead horses and fools calendar before he's satisfied?
That screwdriver set calendar and the army men has been the single best two you've had. I'm also low-key liking the metal puzzle ones, I wouldnt mind one of them for next year
You might find them discounted next week.
Pensioner's Breakfast was quite good as I recall.
Dan is so lucky this year the punishment calendar isn’t the spice one. These later episodes would be filmed at the hospital if it was.
Day 21: The expedition has reached a nadir of morale. The guides have deserted us and Commander Dan has retreated to his tent and refuses to come out. As the weather closes in, the outlook is bleak. God save the Queen.
Reminder, hasbro just layed off 11000 employees while it's ceo made 10.5 mil holiday bonus.
Indeed they have. Although, in this case, Barbie is Mattel, not Hasbro.
You'll believe anything you read, won't you?
I have to say that the Military Men calendar is absolutely awesome and worth its price 100 % ! Exceptional, especially while being compared to all the other ones :D
The disappointment persist but so do I.
At this point, it’s just appointment.
Del used a leopard suitcase when they went to Miami and you also see it on top of the wardrobe in his bedroom in the flat.
I feel like "Foster's Home for Imaginary Parents" would be a much darker show.
Kind of hope someone makes an edit of the Only Fools and Horses opening where it's Stuart and Dan in place of Del and Rodney, and maybe to fill the spot where Grandad/Uncle Albert feature, it's Barry.
It really does say something that the second best calendar in the whole lot is the punishment calendar. (Best is the military men, of course.)
4:30: Barbie is from Mattel, _not_ Hasbro.
What if the final soldier is Santa? A man can only dream.
That Only Fools calendar xD
Sometimes I wonder if these seasonal offerings are a classier version of Bottom
"Foster's Home for Imaginary Parents", that's just a normal orphanage
Had the weirdest bloody fever dream last night that Dan cracked and redecorated his house and did an MTV Cribs style video about it, his bathroom was Barbie themed but with horror movie lighting. Living room was based on the pub in the Dr Who serial The Daemons for some reason.
It's a testament to Dan that he keeps coming back day after day to get disappointed like this.
I wasn't expecting this twist in the tale, after sad Christmas lady and her friend/rival other sad Christmas lady we have a lst minute new contender in the ring: sad Christmas man. Hes going for more outright dramatically sad than the more chill ennui his predecessors were going for, but I guess entering the competition this late he needs something to set him apart
It's truly gripping stuff
I genuinly went and bought the Military Men calendar off ebay cos my mates just joined the army and he like Ashens, so I thought he'd appreciate it.
He says the figures arent actually that badly made.
I was waiting for the stock footage at the end to change, and now feels like the perfect time for it.
Tagline of this episode: Ashens whips out his resources.
Only Stus and Soldiers win
it’s become torture for Dan, he may burn that calendar after this
I hope so, it must be sacrificed in order to appease the grass masks. 🍀
I'm glad I got myself a Lego Star Wars calender this year. They had a sale in the last week of November and I got it for 21 € (18,22 pound).
I am sure that the only fools and horses music is getting louder each day. I think on the 25th del boy and Rodney will burst in the room in their batman and Robin costumes and say merry cushty Christmas no refunds on the advent calender 😂
There is a piece that can be worn by the dog and the bear, the tiny fairy wings that Dan pulled early on. Not that that makes it any less crap, mind you.
There also is a dog basket.
We need someone to make a beat with Dan's fist slamming on the advent.
The dog has a 3000 thousand yard stare it must have seen untold Horrors probably then shiteness of the fools and horses calendar and that it cost 25 pounds. But also that even calendars far more expensive have the same type of shit stickers.
Can’t wait for the Boxing Day powder extravaganza!
Honestly with that Barbie calendar I am beginning to think they just had a bunch of leftover stock from past sets that they are pulling from...
I refuse to believe that the three animals didn't come from three completely unrelated blind bags.
never forgive never forget the puzzle smash of 2023
The only fools and horses calendar has become the new reliable reindeer lmao
I'm developing a story here. The first stock footage girl choked on a chip. The second stock footage girl ultimately decided she couldn't live in a world without chip girl. The stock footage guy has just found them.
I've been continously amused by the stock unhappy Christmas clips at the end of the videos. So bloody random but that is what makes them great.
Y'know, something that you don't really think about until you think about it, but that military calendar is great for another reason too.
They actually were very careful about how they ordered this stuff, never giving stuff you don't have a use for and have to wait for more stuff.
This is becoming a great series of advent.
The Army Men calendar is probably an advent calendar I would have loved as a kid.
With his 6th Victory, Ashens has secured victory in this year's Advent War. Nerd³ doesn't have enough time on the clock to make the come back.
Oppenheimer has officially nuked Barbie from orbit.
I do like the dragon one from the Barbie advent calendar
Poor Dan someone give that man a hug
The calendar is utterly driving Dan to madness
"Amazing how the world's cheapest toy company can do that but Hasbro can't," - As a long-time collector of Marvel Legends, Star Wars Black Series, Transformers and others, it's a sad sad state of affaire, indeed. And - no jokes - they'll totally sell you a "deluxe" figure that's just a regular figure with no additional accessories for an extra $20 and you're just suppose to go "My, thank you Hasbro! You're so generous!". Lets just say I've taken myself and my wallet to greener pastures... Chap Mei might make cheap stuff but you have infintiely more stuff for your buck.
As someone who's into Tokusatsu and was really enjoying the Power Rangers stuff for affordable mechs and figures of the suits?
God that line died and farted out a mech that was...more expensive than the Japanese version
Hasbro doesn't make Barbie though- rather famously, Mattel does.
@@ellaisplotting It doesn't matter, this is pretty much a universal issue where greedy multi-billion dollar companies want you to pay more for less.
Hope they eventually test how well flasks fit on figures.
And a camera! Also, how to use binoculars when they are on a rigid strap?!
@@alexzell5643 The binoculars are solid black plastic; they can't be used to look through.
@@Okurka. the soldiers are also made of solid plastic, this does not prevent them from shooting, dying, talking and even eating plastic food in the game 8)
As for the binoculars, I suspect that they are not the right size for the figures and the strap would make it difficult to hang them around the neck or allow the figure to look through them.
Ashens looks so happy throughout these videos, maybe that was Dan's plan all along? Very much in the Christmas spirit! Apart from all the sulking 😂
The calenar Dougle had in Father Ted was better than OFAH one that was an entirely cardboard calendar with dry as hell religious art behind every door.
Well apart from that one day where it had Ruud Guillet sitting on a shed.
That used to be all you could get you know. Day 24 was a double door with a load of people in a stable behind it. 👵
I'm a reliable reindeer!
oh no more bored Christmas babes, now it's tragic Christmas dude!
Poor Dan is just having a bad time.
I hope his actual Christmas is better.
My daughter probably would have loved the Barbie one when she was younger. And y'all had funny mixing and matching the Barbie and Army Men some days 😂 I think they would be good if you have a young son and a young daughter
I'd love to see two pre-tween girls playing Barbie vs. Soldiers advent calendars. Dan really did not put up enough of a spirited fight.
The barbie stuff is still shite mate. Each of those days cost a pound and you are gonna tell me the terrible necklace- crown- tiara whatever thing is worth a pound? At best, that Callender has 8 pounds of value in it. It's no wonder hasboro laid off 28% of their employees this year. They are trying to salvage a dying company by overcharging for recognized names like barbie. All the while they include 75p worth of plastic. They are getting desperate. I honestly think the packaging on that barbie cost Hatboro more than the barbie inside.
the barbie calendar is probably aimed at those with a collction already - alot of the accesories for barbie are often cheap plastic. if you have a collection of bits and dolls already you might acctually get some enjoyment out of it cause you can use the items to dress up and decorate your existing barbies etc@@johndeerdrew as a lone item i agree - its a complete cash grab
@@johndeerdrew Yes. I understand! You are not a tween girl.
In debate, however arguing for the opposite gender has incredible exculpatory power! Dan, rather than acting on his own behalf was an agent for Stuart (which is great and perfectly in character, but less interesting that a fight!)
"It's a fucking unicorn!"
I don't think I've seen Dan this frazzled since the cheese calendar LOL!
Grass Masks, were are you? 🎵
Ashens & nerd3 i love you guys so much
I get out of job orientation, and this is the first thing I see
I've chosen well in my life
Gips Pulver is plaster powder.
wow cool
I can hear the echo of Matt's screams here in Germany. "WHY DID HE TURN THE CAMERA? WHY DID HE DO THAT? I CANNOT SHOW THAT ANGLE! STUART, F...."
Dan sounds like me whenever I try to solve puzzles
It's that dog from animal crossing!
That's a sign of how bad his calendars have been. When they began this years advent, they both found it amazing that the Fools one played both theme songs. Now he's angry and smashing it to get it to shut up. That's quality.
Ashens' got the best calendar in years but is still only winning by 6
Imagine if there was an actual punishment calendar this year. Dan might genuinely be dead by now.
Dan would have died from exhaustion from that exercise calendar.
If you watch the first bits of day 2 then the first 20 seconds of day 21 you kinda get the jist of everything in between.
I get that Hasbro is a giant conglomerate that owns nearly every toy brand, but Barbie is Mattel
At least both toy calendars can be donated to a toy drive.
At 5 minutes 20 I realised that Stuart had ripped a resealable bag in half.
The most depressing part of this advent is that my friend has started watching only fools
I miss the grass masks.....
Next year`s calendar's will just be cardboard throughout :D
It will be nothing but 25 days of QR codes that you scan with your phone and they take you to a web page with pictures of the items. And it will cost 80 pounds.
It's Barbie's starter Pokemon!
Dan is really regretting bothering with this whole advent calendar nonsense this year
Day 21, and there's still no sign of a Merry Christmas Gun Platform.
The festive enemies continue to encroach, and I fear we may be overwhelmed.
On the one hand, the one-sided victories for Stuart are kinda hilarious. On the other hand, Dan's getting absolutely STOMPED.
To quote that ancient Templar, he chose... poorly.
Man the Only Full Of Shit calendar really shining through now...
That military calendar despite being cheap, is pretty rad. Better than alot of calendars.
it's either a Pound Puppy or a Shirt Tales, I 'don't think it's a Shirt Tales. ....... some residue tat from a failed cartoon toy commercial, anybody remember Lady Lovelylocks?
Signal lamp
I like how when the Barbie calendar gives you an accessory, it's one single item, but when the solider one does, it gives you 6 at once.
Today my fancy German chocolate calendar gave me another chocolate ball filled with caramel cream. That's one of the better ones, but these dupes are getting a bit boring.
Only fools and horses would buy that calendar.
Losses the will to leave
Cause it's his house
As far as toys military men is the best calendar they have every gotten
The theme of this year's Barbie advent calendar is obviously Barbie on mushrooms.
I'd pay to see Dan doing all those exercises...
The only fools calendar got to be good on day 25
On day 25, it contains the elixir of immortality. Ashens then solves the puzzle under a minute to bring the day to a tie, keeping his 5 point lead over Dan.
its going to be a real piece of dried shit
Dancing grandpa.
I'm thinking the powder today maybe plaster of paris? that would be relatively safe and would fit the description from the book and be a white powder that's easy to use at home?
So, will Stuart taste test the powders for us? (or snort them, I'm cool with that too)
By that count, Stuart has officially won, barring VAR
4:56 - To the Aussies in the audience, you know what song my brain started playing as Dan spoke. My brain desperately tried to adapt the lyrics as it went :D
"I've got a bear that's just there,
A shitty table as well.
There are lil' metal games,
And plastic grenades.
Open wide,
Come inside,
It's advent.
It's advent."
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Del have matching leopard print suitcases in Miami Twice?
That yellow dog(shit) thing looks like one of those dogs from (piss) Paw Patrol.
On Day 2 Dan said he hoped the magnetic figures would spin around, and Ashens said if they did, he would win all the advents - and then they did! So regardless of the rest of this, I say Dan won by default.
Oh, good point.
One thing I like about German is since English is a derivative of it, a good like 52% of the time, you can kind of parse what the word is since like with Wolf, change that o to a u and you got the german. Same with Hound, just drop that O and you got german. they really don't like Os it seems. I couldn't parse what was in that package regardless of Ashen's pronunciation of it.
The memory of cheese trauma must pale in comparison to the abysmal horror of this Only Fools And Horses calendar for Dan.
