Christ I can't believe it's that time of year again. Time for me to watch another 7 episodes of the advent openings then forget to watch the rest and finish them off some random day in June.
Well if that has become your tradition, I'm not here to make you change it. But you could sub to the extraashens channel and enable all notifications, so you'll get a little reminder every day of advent. (I'm not shilling/promoting, I swear. Stuart does _not_ send me a shoe box of tat for every 1000 subs I recruit.)
What would have been really cool is if it launched the ship across the room, and you have to get up and put it back in order to turn the alarm off. :-)
"Eyy, welcome, come on in. Bit different this year, we're using this room." "WHAT THE BLITHERING HELL IS THAT DAN???" "Your advent calendar~!" Is how I imagine it went.
December was shaping up to be dreadful for me but seeing this has made it a little less bleak. This year seems set to be the best one yet! The effort you guys have gone to custom making calendars is very impressive.
Christmas is always a bit rough on the old mental health for me, but the Ashens & Nerdcubed advent really brighten my days. You guys really make december better.
December just got so much better! This could, potentially, be the best advent ever - even though it's going to be a month of looking at Rebecca's slightly disturbing painting😂 I saw people commenting last year that Dan and Stuart should make calendars for each other. Absolutely delighted that's what they've done!
A broken alarm clock that makes a loud whooshing noise, and Porky Pig's severed head. It's truly the most Ashen's Christmas! (Seriously, though, I love it! I wait eagerly all year for these!)
@@turdl38 You make a good point, though! They've had some pretty strange things out of these calendars over the years, so there's some pretty stiff competition for the title, I think.
I’m 21 now, i started watching these guys when i was like 11/12 idk… still tune in every xmas to watch the advent calender
Рік тому+6
That alarm clock is amazing. And the calendar as well. And Ashens' calendar appears to be haunted with cold air coming out of it and a pig head that he doesn't remember where it came from.
It's been a long journey, I started watching the Ashens advent calendars back when I was a student, now I own my own business and have 12 employees to look after this christmas. They're all getting grass masks.
I can't wait for both Dan and Stuart to travel and record these every single day of advent again, and that's definitely how it works, nobody try to tell me it's all pre-recorded in one sitting or any of the kind of rubbish, it's all recorded on the day and one of them has to make the trip to the other's place every day of advent, it's part of the advent calendar lore just like the grass masks.
Yeah I agree. And even though it's easier for Stuart to travel with the smaller calendar, I think Dan should come to Stuart's house like once a week to make it a bit fairer. Even if he has to borrow his neighbor's dodgy (and mud-gold colored) Ford Transit to move the Ikea calendar shelf unit (called "Ädvönt" I think).
"I'm a reliable reindeer.." LOL glad he still works, the nerd cubed calendar is brilliant! I have that same Thunderbirds clock, mine is broken too though, the time doesn't set on it but it does make all the noises.
And thus we are here once again, once again it is time for...ADVENT HORROR! On the first day of Christmas, Dan and Ashens gave to me: Some nostalgia and a piggy
I have watched this for at least 5 years (it feels like). However, I still forget that this is a thing and it makes me very happy! Merry Christmas AshenCubers!
Oh my, with that much creativity and thought behind it, those calendars may be truly mindblowing, especially in comparison to the BS cashgrab ones from the past years! :) I love it! :)
Now it's officially the build up to Christmas
25 sleeps until it's all fucking over again for another year. Roll on the 26th!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year now!
This is better than Christmas.
"I'm a reliable reindeer"
@@peterclarke7240 Found the Military.
Advent horror to you all.
Nice shirt
Thanks Dan,Ashens and Rebecca.
A joy as always to welcome in advent 😸
But you CAN divide the gift. One gets the saucer section, one gets the engineering section.
speaking of that there is an advent calendar horror movie that came out in 2021 named "The Advent Calendar"
You know when Christmas is around the corner when you hear the sound of a reliable reindeer approaching
Thank you for this comment
I thought he might be on strike.
I'm always surprised that it still works.
@@eddieboyky It's...reliable. :-)
Did anyone else sing along?
I do miss the punishment calendars, but I also accept that 'Dan losing so hard he became lactose intolerant' is a hard punishment to top.
I gotta say I love this as a yearly tradition, two grown men in the UK opening up these calenders and making jokes.
I can imagine Ashens walking in to see that calendar the first time and immediately being like "well, I lose this year".
Christ I can't believe it's that time of year again. Time for me to watch another 7 episodes of the advent openings then forget to watch the rest and finish them off some random day in June.

I like how that one thunderbird alarm clock is easily better than anything in any advent calendar they’ve used before.
What would have been really cool is if it launched the ship across the room, and you have to get up and put it back in order to turn the alarm off. :-)
throw out the alarm clock and just keep the ship and it still beats everything they had in any other calendar
And it doesn't even work😊
@@VulpisFoxfire I thought that was how it worked. Very disappointing lol
Always a yearly tradition for me to watch these, rather than do uni assignments, classic!
Oh cool, I did that too!
Hmm...
Maybe I can get Ashens to compensate me for those failed classes?
Can't believe it's been 10 years since Ashens first opened a calendar on camera and got a Gungan Bongo ship from a Lego Star Wars calendar.
There has to be a behind the scenes reveal for when Ashens sees the damn calendar.
"Eyy, welcome, come on in. Bit different this year, we're using this room."
"WHAT THE BLITHERING HELL IS THAT DAN???"
"Your advent calendar~!"
Is how I imagine it went.
Rebecca is a real beast of an artist and a partner to create this calendar! I bow my head in admiration and awe.
It's that time of the year again. The yearly tradition. And the return of the grass masks.
they never leave...
Everyone knows the grass masks are just a conspiracy theory, anyone that’s stupid enough to believe they’re real are-
That giant advent calendar will someday be a the most legendary collector item for Ashens and Dan
One day will end up in a museum and everyone will be thoroughly confused.
@@davidmcgill1000 Assuming it survives.
Apart from the sofa
I look forward to this more than I do Christmas
To be fair, standard Christmas doesn't have British dry humor and tat from Poundland.
@@squirrelguy2195 exactly, this is how Christmas was intended in the Bible
@@TheKingShyGuy. Just like how Easter truly is about THE GOOSE! Lamplight beautiful melody. The whole body will swing!
This is genuinely my favorite Christmas tradition.
Ok that giant calendar is officially the best advent calendar ever made
That shirt is the Spock magnet from one of last years calendars. Well played
The holiday season has truly begun!
Good work, Rebecca! The advent calendar you've created is truly glorious and horrifying in equal measure!
It’s not Christmas without an ashens video!
Now it's christmas!! Can't believe the reindeer still works! He's very reliable.
Honestly the fact it’s still working after all this time, kind of means he’s actually a reliable reindeer if you think about it
Dan's shirt is the fridge magnet that they both hated in the 2021 Star Trek calendar.
This is the only thing that makes me excited for Christmas.
December was shaping up to be dreadful for me but seeing this has made it a little less bleak. This year seems set to be the best one yet! The effort you guys have gone to custom making calendars is very impressive.
Already?

my first thought was the tool kit, but then i realized that each individual day was like... a tiny screwdriver bit or something, so your point stands
@@turdl38 You make a good point, though! They've had some pretty strange things out of these calendars over the years, so there's some pretty stiff competition for the title, I think.
Another year of this wonderful christmassy occasion.
I cant believe I didnt realise it was December. Thanks guys for being the thing to symbolise Christmas. You 2 are incredible.
You have no idea how happy I am this is back again and I love it so much already. Rebecca you did an amazing job with the calendar!!
My favorite time of year... The only time I know there's going to be reliable, scheduled, ashens content.
I’m 21 now, i started watching these guys when i was like 11/12 idk… still tune in every xmas to watch the advent calender
That alarm clock is amazing. And the calendar as well.

I’m crying the art is so beautiful 😂😂😂 Rebecca did a great job 😭
My holidays literally can't feel complete without watching this series.
Ah yes. The traditional Hello HO HO!! It always brings good memories. I can't believe how many years I've been watching Ashens.
My boyfriend got me a cheese calinder this year. He has no idea I watch these things but I need to show him now
The precise moment when you realize that someone cares more than you do about something.
I love that Dan is wearing a shirt with the design of the shite magnet from last year
All the way down on the train feeling pretty chuffed with what he's made to be immediately battered 😂😂
Every year i look forward to this, i do wish there was a 40k one where youd build a model through out
And now i have something to look forward to everyday. This is the best series.
Cant have december without this series.
Reliable like a reindeer!
I wonder what day they notice that Dan's Advent calendar has 25 days.
Day 25 is just full of grass masks
And how exactly is that noteworthy?
@@mattpace1026 Advent calendars are supposed to have only 24 days. You don't open one on christmas day.
@@potatosordfighter666 it's a bonus round...
@@potatosordfighter666 Every single one I've seen has 25 days. I guess it must be some sort of regional thing.
This series has been going on long enough to be an established Christmas tradition with religious importance.
Hearing "I'm a reliable reindeer" is the dopamine boost I needed.
Holy crap my dad had that Thunderbirds alarm clock and I used to just play with it all the time as a kid! Thank you so much for that throwback!!
just started watching this now and honestly it is great to see Dan look like his old school vlogs
I was waiting 11 months for this! The x-mas season has officialy begun.
I wait all year for this!
I've been watching these two open up calenders since I was 15. I'm so happy for another year of Grass Mask.
The holy baby grass mask

Thanks for reminding me that it's December now! I genuinely wouldn't have realized without this video
I'm in awe at the size of Dan's calendar. Absolute unit.
Best time of the year…. Not Christmas just this series.
Greetings to all you reliable reindeer! Here we are once again!
Every year I forget this is a thing, and every year I am unreasonably excited when I see it appear in my watchlist :D
The return of the reindeer always makes me so happy lol!
This is only thing that keeps time feel like it’s flowing
'I need to win this so you can't have it.'
Pettiness is the best motivation.
Also,
And thus we are here once again, once again it is time for...ADVENT HORROR!
On the first day of Christmas, Dan and Ashens gave to me: Some nostalgia and a piggy
years later that is indeed a very reliable reindeer
Tis officially the season! Thank you both for doing all of this for our entertainment. I look forward to Advent calendar videos every December.
I had that alarm clock as a kid - that noise brought back SO many memories!
It's the very end of Nobember 2023, and I'm really hoping for the start of another advent series tomorrow!
Yes.
This is now a tradition in my house.
Been watching Ashens on UA-cam probably since 2011.
Yay! The only good thing about Christmas :)
I have a feeling Dan is going to do rather well this year.
I've been on and off watching these since around 2014/15, glad to watch yet another months worth of advent videos
I have watched this for at least 5 years (it feels like). However, I still forget that this is a thing and it makes me very happy! Merry Christmas AshenCubers!
This yearly tradition is my "it's december" alarm clock, also I had that alarm clock as a kid, loved it!
Yaaaas!!!! Have waited all year for this!!!
OMG THAT ADVENT CALENDAR IS HUGE!!!!
I want it. >.>
Every year I forget about advent, every year I am delighted.
NOW it's Christmas. Been waiting all day for this!
Edit: Home made customised calendars. Oh this will be interesting.
cant get into the christmas spirit until I've heard "I'm a reliable reindeer"
I hope everybody likes their outfits, I have a feeling they are not shifting fashion sense until Christmas Day 😬.
If they do 5 more years of this you'd be able to watch an advent video from ashens every day of the year
I say this every year, but this is genuinely my favourite yearly Christmas tradition. Can't wait for the next 24 days of horror!
I love how 3 years on the reliable reindeer is as reliable as always.
I love this so much, it really feels like Christmas now!
I swear I forget this happens every year and each time I see it pop up I get so damn happy
Between Dan spending 1 pound on each item, and Ashens sense of humor, this has potential to be the greatest Advent Calendars Series ever.
The alarm clock makes that same sound as so many electronic plane toys I’ve seen over the years.
No matter how much youtube changes this time honored tradition from ashens is one i'll never miss
Every year I see this and tune in, very nostalgic tradition
Oh my, with that much creativity and thought behind it, those calendars may be truly mindblowing, especially in comparison to the BS cashgrab ones from the past years! :) I love it! :)
I already know I'll be using these videos as an emotional crutch as I work through another Christmas.
Dan and Stuart are my reliable reindeer
Love how Dan starts off with an immediate advantage because his calendar has one more day than Stuart's.
I love this series every year!
Honestly, these videos are the only thing I look forward to in the Christmas season.
Every year these are a blessing. I never remember they're coming and then a pretty little treat pops up in my sub feed
I don't ever really watch Dan anymore. He used to be my childhood. But this is the one thing that has carried as a tradition through to adult hood.
Christmas is here. Been waiting. Both me and my girlfriend love this. Thanks you two.
I always wanted that alarm clock as a kid, what an awesome gift.
It isnt Christmas any more unless we have Ashens and Dan suffering through the advent season. This year looks to be exceptional.
I tend to forget to look forward to your great calendar show over the year, but there it always is, reliable as a reindeer
Ashens & Nerdcubed truly make Christmas
I can't get over that giant bloody calendar. Good lord.
