We're glad that you've followed our series of puzzles and clues that span the centuries to ultimately lead you to this UA-cam video. Now, your final test: What's a five letter word that would unlock your heart? (we don't have the answer, just curious)
As an ancient historian myself, I actually know what happened here. The answer to the puzzle was originally Aurum but the maker forgot the answer and had to reset it. He put in gold but it wasn't long enough, as per the password requirements. So he had gold1 for a few years but forgot it again. He tried changing it to aurum but it said 'can't be the same as a previous password' so he tried gold2 but the requirements had now been changed again and needed a special character.
@faolan2174 Watched for years! I got the joy of running a made-up ttrpg oneshot for them recently on their Patreon with Zach Reino and Shannon Barry from this skit! And Dom Fera too!
That speaks to me. Though if I had made it they would have found an ancient scrap of parchment nearby with every successive attempt written down then crossed out.
This has the vibe of an old point and click adventure game "puzzle" where the obvious answer doesn't work because they put the real answer in the physical booklet to make sure you didn't pirate the game
@@JP-st9hn I’m honestly not sure if that was the complete intention of doing it, since Metal Gear has basically always relied on meta stuff to progress. I think it was just a cool gimmick that also worked for piracy reasons.
Lol. I'm not sure why I put an extra 'A' there. Probably combined 'Aurum' with 'Fame!' to get 'Aurum!', which is six characters. My mistake. But since my statement was on what I thought it was at the time, and I thought it was six characters, I'm not going to change it now.
@@Confused_Dog I'm fairly well respected at work so this seems like something from yesteryear until it suddenly pops up again. I just think that next time, C&J should have a man play the character that gets an opinion dismissed. It's too dead-on when it's a woman and it's distracting as hell when I'm trying to enjoy comedy. Cuts way too close to the bone.
I love how even thought the pope is apparently evil (?) in this vid, everyone still calls him “your holiness” and he still calls them “my child” and switches easily into being consoling. And the old friend! A true friend, in the end?? Hilariously wrong main character. The poor side kick trying to get a word in. Most wholesome villainous rivals 10/10
I mean... there is an obvious alternative perspective though: that one might call the guy "Your Holiness" especially(!) at gunpoint. 😅 Or whatever he likes to be called, really.
Make all the "clues" be the lyrics to the David Bowie song xD "What you get is no tomorrow, what you need you will have to borrow." *What does it meeaaann?*
@seanmsw5977 that you have to borrow tomorrow A.K.A. you will have to give tomorrow back by making it "today" when tomorrow comes So answer is "today" - the 5 letter word to open the scroll
The problem with all humanity in a nutshell; They can't admit when they're wrong. If I was ever wrong, I'd definitely admit it. It just hasn't happened yet.
In all seriousness, I had this argument with an ex once. I was wrong about something small, can't even remember what, misremembered a detail in a film or something. Anyway, I owned up to it. Her jaw slammed to the floor as she exclaimed "YOU ADMITTED TO BEING WRONG!?" and I calmly said back "I always admit when I'm wrong, it just happens so rarely that this is the first time you've seen it"
Later on Pope and the professor learn the real treasure was the friendship they made along the way (and a map to a pile of gold etched inside the codex)
1/3 to the professor, 1/3 to the Church, and 1/3 to the pope (he put in a lot of work on this as well, plus he came up with the password that got the adventurer out of the way so that he and the professor could have some private time to discover the map).
Coming back to this, hearing the riddle and the proverb again, they actually seem worded to specifically say that the answer _isn't_ gold. Great writing.
"This sacred lock that guards my fruit, opes at the word of a lesser pursuit." Proverbs 8:19 "My fruit is better than fine gold. " OH so it can't be gold because the fruit are better than gold, it has to be something lesser!
This sketch made me realize... why the fuck was the codex in the DaVinci Code set to the English word "apple"? It was created and sealed by Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian man.
@@YEs69th420 the "English" spelling of apple didn't even exist then. It eas treated as a peasant language and even once adopted wholesale, was only standardized in spelling a few hundred years ago (and still continues to diverge in American spelling vs UK/Commonwealth spelling)
I had a similar issue at an Escape room. Thought Id figured out a code, put it in, and it wouldn't open. After we failed, the worker came in and it turned out we did have the right code, but the device was malfunctioning. At least I felt somewhat vindicated for failing.
Ngl if it hasn’t been in your country for like 500 years stop asking for it back, it’s like moving houses and like 30 years later you ask for a posh lighter you forgot to bring back
@@InestimableFlorivore that’s different, but considering some of the countries frankly it’s safer for the artefact to not give them back (though I seem to remember British museum losing some or smth)
I love the way the characters have already been through the story and you just have to accept whatever they say happened and try to piece it together through context. The hologram glasses bit was so funny.
Do they also solve it by trying the “obvious answer” 100 times only to “jiggle it differently” meaning you give up and say they are right? Because that seems to be how it always goes with my groups
Someone needs to write a biography about these ancient puzzlemakers who have access to such advanced technology and the foresight to test future generations on their riddle comprehension.
“We must hide this sacred relic so that no one can every find it” “Cool, so are we just gonna go find a random spot, bury it, and never tell anyone?” “What? No! That is far too boring!”
@FrozenGoblin Fun fact- In the Last Crusade "penitent man kneels before God" scene, there are two saw blades - one at waist height that would bisect anyone who doesn't understand the riddle, and a second vertical one that comes from the floor which would behead anyone who chose the Islamic sujud prayer position. Ancient puzzlemakers were vicious.
I know that, even if they are getting like a million views it's still not really enough for the work they make, but I'm happy that they are getting some recognition. These guys are BRILLIANT. No exaggeration. They make some of the most (if not THE most) profound and funniest sketches there are. Hope they get tons more views and will keep us happy by creating these masterpieces even more frequently. So if anyone is reading this, please give them more love, like, share and subscribe to these guys. They are worth your time for sure
this is the only channel where I deeply smile every time I see a sponsor, it's been a long road and hopefully we're not even halfway, keep creating amazing stuff
Not only are Chris jack shannon and Zach great actors, but the cgi guy Lane deserves a lot of credit too IMO. I like how the text overlaid is in the “history channel mystery movie” font. I think the work he does is honestly great and a lot better than productions with a far bigger budget. Obviously the CGI doesn’t look peefextly realistic, but it has a feel to it that makes it fit in really seamlessly. Often low budget CGI looks terrible and out of place, but in every single one of these videos the CGI complements the story and feel of the video perfectly. It doesn’t feel like it’s “floating” in the foreground, it feels like it’s an actual part of the video, and I know how hard that is to accomplish. All in all just want to thank all the men and women who act and make these. Whenever a new one comes out it’s the highlight of my morning. They can be serious, but without being boring or ridiculous, and when they’re silly they’re enjoyable and not “cringe”. Often the premise of a sketch is interesting but the performance lets it down or the premise can’t hold up a full five minute video. Often when I watch a short released by a channel and go and watch the full video, it feels like they had one funny idea and it wasn’t enough to hold up a full video. Not with these guys; Every time I watch the short and then go to the full skit, I’m pleasantly surprised by how many funny and entertaining ideas they can get out of a simple premise. Honestly these videos should be used as teaching material for aspiring comic writers. It never feels like they’re desperately trying to milk a funny idea dry (which a lot of sketch channels on UA-cam often feel like), rather they have a great idea and just bounce more and more funny and inventive stuff off of it. I rarely leave these videos feeling like it went on for too long and nearly always finish the video wanting more, and that’s the perfect way to do it. A lot of comedy feels preachy or politicised (not even that I disagree with all the political messaging in modern comedy - just that instead of using the story to convey a message they do it in a tactless and overt way; stories are all inherently political to a degree, however nowadays I feel like political messaging is conveyed in a much less nuanced, entertaining and artistic way) and these guys are a refreshing break from that. These guys (men and women) are professionals and I just wanted to say thank you. Really really good stuff and I hope you get the recognition you deserve.
If I were to be a treasure maker in an ancient civilization creating a puzzle for millenniums to come I would definitely put Fame! as the answer to everything.
These guys sketches always end up being “guy freaks out of his inadequacy and then his friend/enemy gives him a confidence boost into TWIST”. And it’s good every time😂
Another great one. Idk how you guys manage to write such good sketches. Being so desensitized by the plethora of content, you're one of the few creators that will always make me burst out laughing.

@@billbill6094 Oooh, yea, I totally get what you mean. Like, coming onto it completely naturally feels awesome. Like, I was showing all my friends and family going "Hey, look at these funny guys!" not even realizing one of them has been one of the most prolific voices of my childhood. I still, to this day, re-watch ATLA. I'm confident I have watched the series over 100 times now. It felt EVEN BETTER when I found out who he was. It was like I just happened to stumble upon someone I found familiar but didn't quite recognize, like an old friend. "Oh wow! These guys are hilarious!" Years go by, "Hmm, I wonder if they have done anything else, lemme look it-... no fucking way..." Genuinely, one of the coolest things I found out is someone I used to hear ALL THE TIME has an amazing channel that I just so happened to find, not because one of them was Sokka, but because they were genuinely super fucking funny...
I am simultaneously thankful for, and enraged by, the algorithm - and my lack of social interactions - that allowed me to stumble upon you guys just one day ago. And you're incredible. Have already watched everything, oldest to newest, and am now entering a state of despair upon the realization that I can't watch new ones all day, forever. Somehow, I'm eight years late, yet feel like I'm only at the very beginning edge of experiencing your greatness. Edit: I apologize, just, full disclosure: I did skip the one hour juggling challenge (for now). It's me, not you, and I don't want to talk about it.
Yall are fuckin hilarious! Found your channel yesterday, I gotta get ready for work but just got told we arent leaving till 9 instead of 8 so i got an hour i can use to watch yalls videos! 😂
As a student of archeology i love that the artifact is just like a 1cm below the ground level… and for some reason not requiring any documentation before taking it out of it’s archeological context.

Genuinely, one of the coolest things I found out is someone I used to hear ALL THE TIME has an amazing channel that I just so happened to find, not because one of them was Sokka, but because they were genuinely super fucking funny...
He’s not gonna know what the answer to the puzzle is
Spoilers
Shut up yes he will ☹️
No, it says in the title; he defienetly will know it.
Dude, it's just broken
The punchlines are always so nice
This may be my favourite sketch from you guys. It's so good
I'm so glad you're working with Zach! What a funny human being!
Every time a new Chris and Jack upload hits my notifications I get so giddy, love you guys!!
I am simultaneously thankful for, and enraged by, the algorithm - and my lack of social interactions - that allowed me to stumble upon you guys just one day ago.
And you're incredible. Have already watched everything, oldest to newest, and am now entering a state of despair upon the realization that I can't watch new ones all day, forever.
Somehow, I'm eight years late, yet feel like I'm only at the very beginning edge of experiencing your greatness.
Edit: I apologize, just, full disclosure: I did skip the one hour juggling challenge (for now). It's me, not you, and I don't want to talk about it.
3:46 Have you tried... helicopter?
You really should ask riddles you don't know the answer to.
Holy CRAP this made me laugh so hard dude. I’ve watched that skit hundreds of times. You just took me back to 15 years ago, man 😂😂
Too many letters
CHOPPA!
I love the fact that this sketch is referencing a 20 year old movie 😂
I love Zach's hand when he says "I knew it" at the end. A very holy gesture.
Nah, the Roman who made it was really hungry and had nothing in the fridge so he just set the password as fame 😂😂😂
I love how even those they're pointing guns at him they work to console him when he breaks down. Thats kind of sweet.
One of the only channels still doing great sketch content ❤
You guys earned my subscription from the first bud I saw but the fact that you safe your ads till the end of your videos puts you in the GOAT category
I’m terrified on how accurate the ad at the end described me perfectly
NordVPN's cryptographic key is always "FAME!".
The UA-cam short got my attention, so I watched the whole thing. Very cool!
Say it with me: you are brilliant.
I don't see anyone talking about the fact that she saw him die because he swapped her glasses. That's just a beautiful non sequitur.
I hate Roman fees... 6:12
I love the design of the professor's gun cane.
Yall are fuckin hilarious!
Found your channel yesterday,
I gotta get ready for work but just got told we arent leaving till 9 instead of 8 so i got an hour i can use to watch yalls videos! 😂
plot twist: was a puzzle hunt set up by a father, for his son who loves puzzles, and the scroll simply reads "Happy Birthday Son!"
Lovely surprise Zach Reino appearance!
As a student of archeology i love that the artifact is just like a 1cm below the ground level… and for some reason not requiring any documentation before taking it out of it’s archeological context. And digged out without any student free labour lasting at least a month. I mean it kinda looks like early archeology so kinda historically accurate
"I read the dead sea scrolls..." LOL
Knowing the Romans the password is gonna be "bussy"
But in the Latin alphabet, AVRVM is spelled with a V!!!
You may ask, why do they even have U in there? Misdirection.
you know you have self esteem issues when the guys who would steal from you have more respect towards you than you yourself.
This was totally davinci code and then Belloq showed up
I was not expecting Dracula Pope either
It's so funny that the rich old guy has his fancy hidden cane-gun and the pope straight up walks out with a shotgun
