Dan: A meticulously crafted experience with expertly chosen goods to provide Stuart with joy. Stuart: Random tat he found around the house 45 minutes before the train
@@Liofa73 And a USB-Micro cable? Those will be worth a ton to nostalgia in the future world when those aren't made anymore! Stuart just secured Dans retirement!
kind of how those construction advent calendars are made.. Some intern is told to divide a kit into 24 separate parts.. despite the fact their aren't enough parts to split it into 24 pieces. So you end up with a few screws on one day, a battery on another day, the other battery on another day, etc
I'd say it's the junk drawer from his kitchen, but I haven't seen any packets of soy sauce and Chinese mustard, dead rechargeable batteries (but no recharger), and keys to flats he hasn't lived in for over 20 years. YET.
Me too, I think it would be so funny if she was watching and this is where she finds out that, unbeknownst to her, her mother donated her book to a charity shop.
The reason Dan can hear Lister saying "Cinzano Bianco" is because his nickname at the pool table was Dave "Cinzano Bianco" Lister, because "Once I was on the table, you couldn't get rid of me". Why yes, I do watch nothing but Red Dwarf.
I watch through red dwarf once every... well now it has been like 3 or 4 years ago last but i knew that aswell since red dwarf is so memorable for me. Also white hole is one of my favorite epsiodes.
That was the only one I knew because Lister's descriptions of his drunkenness are how I rank my own drinking - "Rimmer, I am not pished" and "just nicely drunk"
I'm starting to worry that at least one compartment of Stuart's calendar is going to contain out of date food. Or Surströmming. In a teeny ziplock bag, ready to explode all over Dan.
He already said years ago that he would not use that in a video because he knew people who had to replace their carpet and people who got kicked out of their apartment, etc just for opening a can of it.
@@stephencoldbear - I know, but it's funny to imagine, isn't it? I once had the job of cleaning stuff out of gullies in a slaughterhouse, and I know that the clotted blood, etc., smelled far better than fermented herring. I wouldn't want it in my house. But it's very funny to imagine it.
@@stephencoldbear he did a video with Barry Lewis where they opened a can, but I think they took lots of precautions (opening the can when it was submerged in water, in Ashen's garden etc.)
There is no way Stuart can win this overall, Dan but meticulous time and effort, and each gift so far has been amusing or tied into their collective interests. Stuart went through his cupboards in a desperate frenzy 2 hours before leaving for Dan's. Dan deserves the Enterprise.
I mean...Dan has taken a year to find these advent gifts, made sure they all cost only £1 cause he was giving them to the Poundland king, made a house sized advent calendar which has amazing artwork on it, hand painted... and Stuart... erm... well... bought a box and filled it with stuff he doesn't want anymore... Dan wins 2022 advent IMHO... that prize belongs to Dan by rights lol 😁
Counterpoint: Dan gave Stu two copies of some crap football video game yesterday. Dan loses for that alone in my book. Haha, just kidding. I'm not taking this too seriously. Let myself do that in years past, not this time.
Im inspired. Now I don't need to go xmas shopping. I can just wrap up all the old cables in my old cables box and give em them. An excellent™️ money saving technique 👨🍳
This video made me feel so much better. For years I’ve beaten myself up because, when I won a book voucher at school, instead of spending it on academic books like my peers, I bought a book about German Football tactics. Now finding that Gemma Upton spent her prize on a Red Dwarf quiz book makes me feel so much better.
What Dan doesn't know is that one day, he'll realize he's forgotten a charging cable and these come in handy, only to find they're the wrong connectors.
As much as the absolute amount of time and effort Dan and Rebecca put into creating the calendar, and how much effort was put into finding all kinds of really cool items for just a pound, and how all that should really make Dan the winner It would be *really funny* if ashens won anyway
Even though Ashens calander is probably just stuff from his garage it still way better than that god awful eaglemoss one with their 10 cent pencil sharpner
Reminds me of when I claimed to know everything about Back to the Future and then someone found a quiz where one of the question was “how many studios rejected the Back to the Future screenplay?” I swear I’m not making that up!
I lost the first Star Trek trivia contest I entered when someone asked who did the special effects in one of the movies. It was ILM, and I might have wild-guessed that, but I was just completely flummoxed and panicked because it didn't even occur to me that questions about the production instead of the content would even be allowed.
It might be a terrible gift but by god I was in tears when he revealed the male-to-male audio jack. Quite possibly the most useless cord you could ever have lol
I don't think I've heard of this "Red Dwarf: A Question of Smeg" book before, and I still have the first two series of "Red Dwarf" on DVD, and I still have yet to watch them. lol
Man, that quiz book really bought back memories! I used to own all the books, all the audio tapes, all the VHS and loads of bits and pieces, one of my biggest regrets was selling it all back some point around '94. I do remember some of the questions in those books being really difficult
"They call me Dave 'Cinzano Bianco' Lister because once I'm on the table you can never get rid of me." from the White Hole episode. So he does talk about it, but not drink it. I may also watch too much Red Dwarf :)
I still use older pocket digital cameras because I like having optical zoom and, while I do have a couple of dozen USB cables from various devices over the years, almost inevitably, if I want to connect a specific camera to a PC or Mac, it'll only work with one cable with a very specific Micro USB plug on the camera end (and it's always the last one I find and usually involves pushing around furniture to get to it).
Would have given it to Ashens here. Even if you've got a million of cables, you never can seem to find them when you really need them in a panic. Having more is always good. Plus, they're so short he can store them in his pockets for emergencies. Edit: And think of the utility of the twist ties!
those tiny usb cables are useful. if you carry the correct one for your phone in your wallet cos theyre small enough, you can do an emergency charge of your phone on a bus or train.
I feel like everyone is forgetting that neither of them knew the other was making their calendar. Of course they're different qualities, they weren't going to be doing this
As the folks at Google wonder why they suddenly got fifty thousand searches for "Gemma Upton"… (She appears to be an HR Manager living in Hemel Hempstead.)
A very important note. After filming, I discovered that the USB C cable transfers no data, and even less power.
There goes their SINGULAR SELLING POINT 🤣
It's charging your devices at low voltage to protect the battery health, it's a feature really
Stewart is so thoughtful. What a great friend.
USB-C cables are so goddamn unreliable.
Frankly speaking, that's still not the worst thing you two have opened out of an advent calendar though. We remember the Frozen cardboard calendar
Dan: A meticulously crafted experience with expertly chosen goods to provide Stuart with joy.
Stuart: Random tat he found around the house 45 minutes before the train
Dan's playing to win. again.
Now I disagree, I'd be happy with those cables.
@@SilverEye91 -- I'll take the audio jack for sure. I have use for it right now...
@@Liofa73 And a USB-Micro cable? Those will be worth a ton to nostalgia in the future world when those aren't made anymore!
Stuart just secured Dans retirement!
It’s very on brand for Stuart and the fact that half the stuff is still better than previous years is hilarious
I'm suspecting Stuart actually emptied his trash bin into that advent calendar 10 minutes before starting off to Dan
Lol. Have you SEEN the Advents they've actually paid for? Stuart is spot-on.
Plot twist, non of the cabels actually works.
@@HeyRooster42 the first 4 days were part of a plot to steal Rebecca now it's just standard advent gubbins
Yes, but the calendar box is quite nice... 🙂
I think it's the drawer of purgatory... There was so right tat in there.
I know it won't happen, but imagine how Gemma Upton would react watching this video and seeing a book she won in school 25 years ago
I was going to post a This Is Your Life-style home in that theme...
Joke. Not home. Idiot autocorrect.
@@noddler217 that makes more sense, I was confused XD
I wonder how many people in the comment section claim to be her and make up some elaborate story as these things tend to be like.
And she's here tonight!
I swear Stuart just grabbed a random drawer from his attic, divided it in 24 boxes, and called it a day.
kind of how those construction advent calendars are made.. Some intern is told to divide a kit into 24 separate parts.. despite the fact their aren't enough parts to split it into 24 pieces. So you end up with a few screws on one day, a battery on another day, the other battery on another day, etc
Is this the fate of the Drawer of Purgatory?
He didn't call it a day, he called them days 1 through 24
I'd say it's the junk drawer from his kitchen, but I haven't seen any packets of soy sauce and Chinese mustard, dead rechargeable batteries (but no recharger), and keys to flats he hasn't lived in for over 20 years. YET.
I miss the punishment calendars. It just doesn’t feel like the holidays if no one is forced to eat ash cheese or pour salt into their ulcer.
Is that how Stuart lost his hair?
@@JediMasterBaiter Nah I think he finished polybus and it’s ran away in exhaustion.
I hope Gemma Upton is watching this.
Well, clearly she didn't want the book any more...
Me too, I think it would be so funny if she was watching and this is where she finds out that, unbeknownst to her, her mother donated her book to a charity shop.
Hello Gemma! :)
Gemma Upton won that book the same year I was born.
How do you do. I am Gemma Upton, and I am quite, quite mad.
The reason Dan can hear Lister saying "Cinzano Bianco" is because his nickname at the pool table was Dave "Cinzano Bianco" Lister, because "Once I was on the table, you couldn't get rid of me".
Why yes, I do watch nothing but Red Dwarf.
We should be friends 👍😎
I watch through red dwarf once every... well now it has been like 3 or 4 years ago last but i knew that aswell since red dwarf is so memorable for me. Also white hole is one of my favorite epsiodes.
Damn! I've just made almost exactly the same comment.
That was the only one I knew because Lister's descriptions of his drunkenness are how I rank my own drinking - "Rimmer, I am not pished" and "just nicely drunk"
So what is it?
I'm starting to worry that at least one compartment of Stuart's calendar is going to contain out of date food. Or Surströmming. In a teeny ziplock bag, ready to explode all over Dan.
Well, Surströmming is out of date food too. It's just that someone keeps putting the wrong sell-by date on it as a joke.
He already said years ago that he would not use that in a video because he knew people who had to replace their carpet and people who got kicked out of their apartment, etc just for opening a can of it.

Excuse me it would not be a ziplock bag it would be a certified Chef Excellence Stay Fresh Rot Bag
That “What the fuck, Stuart” speaks multitudes
I really hope the original owner of the book watches this video
There is no way Stuart can win this overall, Dan but meticulous time and effort, and each gift so far has been amusing or tied into their collective interests. Stuart went through his cupboards in a desperate frenzy 2 hours before leaving for Dan's. Dan deserves the Enterprise.
However, Stu's method does fit with what we all know of him from his channel.
I would 100% unironically love to recieve that RD Quiz book as a gift!
I would unironically enjoy getting AUX cable, and 2 USB cables aren't bad either.
I'd gift it back it she still exists, that has to be thirty years later.
@@ABrit-bt6ce Twenty-five years. (The label was dated 1997.)
it could be a laugh reading it
If it was trivia from the SHOW Red Dwarf I'd agree with you.
"this is more useless then things i already own" - a Christmas mantra
I mean...Dan has taken a year to find these advent gifts, made sure they all cost only £1 cause he was giving them to the Poundland king, made a house sized advent calendar which has amazing artwork on it, hand painted... and Stuart... erm... well... bought a box and filled it with stuff he doesn't want anymore... Dan wins 2022 advent IMHO... that prize belongs to Dan by rights lol 😁
Stuart is trying to give a more authentic Advent Calendar experience by shoving random tat into a box that he couldn’t get rid of otherwise
Counterpoint: Dan gave Stu two copies of some crap football video game yesterday. Dan loses for that alone in my book.
Haha, just kidding. I'm not taking this too seriously. Let myself do that in years past, not this time.
whoever wins, wins. it's their show!
But his wife painted it... so i guess his wife won ;p
"I'm not doing any advent after this"
Dan, you say that every year, we still don't believe you.
Holy hell, they changed shirts?!?! 🤯😂
I guess they were getting a bit rank after like six days straight of wearing them...
@@jubuttib either that or they were bulk-filming, to be fair 😜😂
@@steampoweredpixel They do film them all in one day.
That's why they were in so much pain after eating shit tons of cheese in 2020.
Would have been funny if they'd just swapped shirts.
@@paulherman5822 i think stuart would be constricted
"A Question of Smeg" is the worst series of words I've heard in a while

Wow, Ashens truly coming out full force today...
Truly bringing out the big guns
This video made me feel so much better. For years I’ve beaten myself up because, when I won a book voucher at school, instead of spending it on academic books like my peers, I bought a book about German Football tactics.
Now finding that Gemma Upton spent her prize on a Red Dwarf quiz book makes me feel so much better.
Hang on in there little sticky buddy.
Merry Christmas Gemma Upton.
What Dan doesn't know is that one day, he'll realize he's forgotten a charging cable and these come in handy, only to find they're the wrong connectors.
By that day, we'll all be on USB O cables
He actually already tested the USB C cable, and it's literal garbage.
As much as the absolute amount of time and effort Dan and Rebecca put into creating the calendar, and how much effort was put into finding all kinds of really cool items for just a pound, and how all that should really make Dan the winner
It would be *really funny* if ashens won anyway
This is a year where we needed a punishment calendar
I hope Gemma Upton watches this video, please if you know Gemma send this there way
Even though Ashens calander is probably just stuff from his garage it still way better than that god awful eaglemoss one with their 10 cent pencil sharpner
Oh my... no intro no hello ho ho ..day ruined cancel advent
It truly is Sadvent.
I blame Matt..
4:35 he’s mad because he knows it’s true.
I’m dying.
Reminds me of when I claimed to know everything about Back to the Future and then someone found a quiz where one of the question was “how many studios rejected the Back to the Future screenplay?” I swear I’m not making that up!
So, how many? Inquiring minds want to know!
I lost the first Star Trek trivia contest I entered when someone asked who did the special effects in one of the movies. It was ILM, and I might have wild-guessed that, but I was just completely flummoxed and panicked because it didn't even occur to me that questions about the production instead of the content would even be allowed.
Ok damn you Stuart, every video I try instinctively to wipe away that speck of dust off my phone just to realize it's the tiny logo on your shirt
Ashens wins this one IMHO. They can be useful
I disagree. the cables are from random sh*t he got from his wish shopping tours. they most likely don´t even work ;)
@@Markus__B Fair. Just giving my two cents is all
But are they as reliable as a reindeer?
I like how every gift Stuart has given so far has been shit 🤣
Dear god the masks have deleted the intro!
I knew something was wrong when I clicked on the video but I could not put my finger on it. Thanks for pointing this out.
Just as long as on the first Noel the angel did frrp. That's what really matters.
Soon

Yrs,
The Grass Masks
@@stephencoldbear I miss the subscribe for more
"Gemma Upton, Child, you are indeed a fine pupil. Have a Question of Smeg!"
Jemma Upton deserves every second of praise she gets
GRASS MASKS AT THE TROPHY. THEY ARE MULTIPLYING!
"I wonder why this video is about an extra 2 minutes long"
"oh"
I love Ashen's gift for its utilitarian value :D
Same here
All hail GRASS MASKS
Heroes rise again!
Personally would rather have the cables to that book. 🤣
Jupp, the best use I'd have out of that book is to prop up an uneven table or something. Or possibly as tinder.
You could hollow out the book and make a hiding spot for your truly important cables. Nobody would ever try to read that book, so it would be safe.
@@stephencoldbear What cables though?! I didn't get any from my advent calendar :(
Dan posted a comment saying the cables don’t even work. 😂
At this rate I think Dan is just going to open a £20 note on day 25 to make up for all this tat 😂
Congratulations to everyone who bet Day 7 for "How long will it take for Dan to shout 'I hate Advent!'"
This is one of those "they should add a point, but deduct on" days.
It might be a terrible gift but by god I was in tears when he revealed the male-to-male audio jack. Quite possibly the most useless cord you could ever have lol
The fact that the book could be either donated, lost its way in a flea market, or stolen is enough to make it the victor of the day.
"They call me Dave cizano bianco Lister, cos once you get me on the table theres no getting me off"
Ashens looks real fit and 'ard. Gigachad Ashens. Merry Christmas.
"Hello ho ho!" - Fixed it.
If there's an advent next year I hope it is filled with spite.
Looks like Larry and Curly has finally had a shower and changed clothes! Reliable Reindeer is Moe ofc...
Somewhere a Woman shed's a single tear in the realisation she is finally free of her prize
Red Dwarf is awesome, but cables are handy. I say we call it a draw
Sticky red man holds on for another day!
5:37 That is most definitely what she said! And Christmas has arrrived
I would be happy with Stuarts cables, yeah, I've got loads but they break. That book won't break, it will just sit there taking up space on a shelf.
I really wasn't expecting the usb cables and I'm still laughing about it!
Love the dwarfers.
I love red dwarf, I just wanted to share this
I don't think I've heard of this "Red Dwarf: A Question of Smeg" book before, and I still have the first two series of "Red Dwarf" on DVD, and I still have yet to watch them. lol
It is lister… Dave “cinzano bianco” lister… when he’s playing pool with planets…
Imagine if Gemma Upton were watching this video
Hang on in there little red man!
Dan is trying to win, Stuart is making an accurate shit advent calender.
Man, that quiz book really bought back memories! I used to own all the books, all the audio tapes, all the VHS and loads of bits and pieces, one of my biggest regrets was selling it all back some point around '94. I do remember some of the questions in those books being really difficult
Quality Gifts... oooh boy.
When are you when he yelled I hate Advent it reminded me of the young ones show
3.5 to 3.5...thats gold my dude
There was literally a point where I collected all my cables and counted them. It was over a thousand. Threw out 90% of them. Still had like 200 left.
Honestly, I think this day should have been a goose egg.
"They call me Dave 'Cinzano Bianco' Lister because once I'm on the table you can never get rid of me." from the White Hole episode. So he does talk about it, but not drink it.
I may also watch too much Red Dwarf :)
White Hole?
I still use older pocket digital cameras because I like having optical zoom and, while I do have a couple of dozen USB cables from various devices over the years, almost inevitably, if I want to connect a specific camera to a PC or Mac, it'll only work with one cable with a very specific Micro USB plug on the camera end (and it's always the last one I find and usually involves pushing around furniture to get to it).
Ashens won my heart
I need a Male 3.5mm to Male 3.5mm jack. Lucky Dan
Do you reckon somewhere, Gemma Upton shuddered?
Dan absolutely wins!
I hope Gemma Upton is a fan of this channel.
EDIT: No intro! No intro!!!
Oh hey, a Red Dwarf book. God forbid either or both of our hosts have been in one or more movies with someone from that show.
This has run its course.
I'm a huge Red Dwarf fan and have seen the all the series multiple times, even I felt some of those questions were really obscure! XD
Very nice.
The De Ferrers logo in the book had me jump scared ngl, last place I expected to see my school mentioned
Honestly I think ashens should have won today. I'd take more charging cords over a trivia book for a serries I've never heard of any day
Useful cables those. 😆👍
I will never forget when my mum saw my 2" usb cable 'what are you going to do with that, charge really small items up?'
Would have given it to Ashens here. Even if you've got a million of cables, you never can seem to find them when you really need them in a panic. Having more is always good. Plus, they're so short he can store them in his pockets for emergencies.
Edit: And think of the utility of the twist ties!
One of these days better have charcoal cheese in it damnit
1:45 Sticky Man slowly slipping
I would much prefer the random cables. Cables win it.
They had a Game show for that book.
those tiny usb cables are useful. if you carry the correct one for your phone in your wallet cos theyre small enough, you can do an emergency charge of your phone on a bus or train.
Anyone else notice the grass masks at the top.... are they... multiplying????
Huh, we've gone from Advent... to sadvent to MADVENT!
I feel like everyone is forgetting that neither of them knew the other was making their calendar.
Of course they're different qualities, they weren't going to be doing this
I miss the cheese advent calendar, which Dan probably still hasn't fully digested.
I feel like there should be polls and a fan vote for some of these.
Hang in there Sticky Man!
At least the book you can hit Dan over the head with Ashens, those usb cables don't even look long enough to strangle anyone with.
As the folks at Google wonder why they suddenly got fifty thousand searches for "Gemma Upton"…
