I'm just about to go to sleep, but I wanted to thank all of you who've left overwhelmingly lovely comments. The reception to this video has really made my week. The links to all my sources, as well as music credits, crew credits and patreon link are in the description if you're so inclined. Thanks so much for supporting the channel by watching, sharing, commenting and liking, it means the world. Stay spicy
You are quickly becoming my favorite magic UA-camr I love your content, your comedy, and I love that you’re looking to make your community an inclusive space for all. I appreciate all the hard work you do not just with the content you make, but for also making the world ever so slightly better and safer for all people.
Absolutely great video by the way. @Spice 8 Rack Gonna watch the others and like and sub. Really hope you keep growing and making great videos like this! Heart goes out to you and your team for putting heard and soul into your work.
... Holy shit. Drill bit meaning the head of a drill and "Drill Bit" meaning a comedic skit featuring a drill or a skit being drilled into someone's head via rehearsal HOW DID I MISS THIS HOLY SHIT
Oh, well this answers the question "Did he ignore Drill Bit's card name on purpose despite talking about Disturbing Plot's ?" Kudos for actually acknowledging it in the comments, but we'd expect no less from a good lad such as you.
The best joke about Lovecraft's racism is beholders. They're floating many eyed aberrations, and they're just Really racist and paranoid. They look Lovecraftian, and they act like Lovecraft.
Honestly, what really caught me off guard and made me laugh was how good the last bit was. When he mentioned the comedy of the absurd, I was expecting typical “lol random” humor, but for a quality performance, which stuck more than if he just shouted “Batman!” and cut to black And then I saw the state of his pants
I did see the video, but disagree. Drill Bit maybe a bad pun but it's so much more. It's not just the fact that the name and flavor make the card but also the art and what the card actually does is important as well. This card is one of the best example of flavor(the what makes this card unique flavor) . Every aspect is relatable to the other. Not alot of cards do that. From the Name to Function to Flavor Text this card is a win, and in my opinion is great comedy. I'm sorry that you felt I commented and with out watching the video, but Drill Bit is a "Bit" BETTER than Might of Oaks.
D. Walter III oh, thank you for such a thorough answer! You exactly pin-pointed all of my thoughts about the card. I, too, think it’s a perfection of the card in terms of relatability to itself. Just layer after layer of comedy in such a minuscule amount of words.
I don't really like the pun in the card but the art + text have such a stupidly malicious to it, I can't help but play it and think that yeah. It's never boring.
Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your videos. You're everything I want in a UA-cam channel; critical analysis of unimportant things with a healthy dose of bafoonery!
The croc flavor text got me laughing for a solid 30 seconds It wasn't just exhaling air out of my nose with increased force, it was an all out laugh out loud moment Thank you for introducing me to this card
I have to say, I'm blown away by the meticulous care that went into writing, producing, and editing every part of this video. There have been multiple times where I have to pause and rewind it simply due to the fact that I want to fully absorb the elements you've included. The content is so dense that in the span of seconds, I detect several witty jokes, in-my-face editing featuring both MTG and non-MTG references, and an abstractly developed interwoven dual plotline starring the man StandUpPoet himself delivering charismatic soliloquies. The best part is that you maintain this quality throughout the entirety of a 27 minute video, which is unreal to me. I look forward to any new videos you put out there on the internet for humble comedy enthusiasts such as myself to enjoy.
Yes Concordia Pegasus, the white card that made me focus on blue decks because the text was so funny. I think storytelling in flavor is an interesting topic, Doomed Artist being one of my favorites because it’s a card that tells a full story through its name, art, mechanics, and flavor text.
After your final discourse about the culmination of the video, when you said "the absurd" i didn't think you could pull it off, then at the first word i had a 32 teeth smile across my face. The video was awesome, and i hope you'll release for download (even purchase is fine) the complete version of the song without the voiceover of the credits.
My friends have always told me that I have a knack for comedy and writing good punchlines to comics... Now I understand the theory behind it! Oh and it was from a magic the gathering video. Also I had high expectations for the punchline for that last joke and I genuinely laughed when you started singing
You've captured perfect rewatchability and analysis of Magic cards in such a fantastic way. I don't know whether to be overjoyed or annoyed. I think that effect is what you were going for so good job!
Loving the new production value! Although honestly its just icing on top of some tasty tasty content. Also the scientific journal references were next level
I really appreciate the joke at 21:39 Taking five tries to get everything right in one go, just to then "ruin" the finally perfect clip with that information. After telling the audience that it took five tries, you might as well have stitched it together, making it clear for the audience that it took multiple recordings. But going to great lengths to make sure everything is perfect, just to then destroy everything without reason is just plain hilarious.
I keep coming back to this video, and continue to find it worth noting in my head (and now for the world to see) that "boring" does have a definition that isn't synonymous with "drilling". In certain situations, it specifically refers to the enlarging of a hole already in existence. This is what I took it to mean on my first reading and, as such, I had not qualms with the joke.
I would like to share you with my favourite bit of flavour text, found on the card *Canyon Minotaur* M11. "We'll scale these cliffs, traverse Brittle Bridge, and then fight our way down the volcanic slopes on the other side." "Isn't the shortest route through the canyon?" "Yes." "So shouldn't we-" "No."
Everytime I come back and rewatch this, I am always surprised that Spice has a beautiful singing voice on top of the phenomenal writing and delivery. Spice is an internet treasure
I know that this is a bit late, but drill bit's flavor text is perfect. To bore a hole, you just increase the size of said hole. So it being "never boring" is perfect because it's saying it's exciting and they'll always be making a new hole
My personal favorite pun was always werebear, and his right to bear arms. Though I think the cheekiest thing we ever did mtg wise was mail Charles Manson a Timber wolves. The green wolf that gains banding if you control a plains. I really hope he wondered why we even bothered right up until he died.
I'm SO happy to have stumbled upon your content today. You are extremely talented, clearly over-prepared, cleverly funny, and offensively handsome to boot. Thank you for what you do. I admire your knowledge, dedication, and delivery. Oh and that was genuinely a very good cover of the song! :o
@Jojoforpres Oh I'm not playing favorites. I'm playing *least* favorites. H.P. Lovecraft was racist even by the standards of the time. His special breed of racism was far from casual, and far from the common. While most racists of the time (particularly in Europe) were of the opinion that the races were "equal, but meant to be separate", Lovecraft believed wholeheartedly that the poor, the deformed, and the people of color, were all subhuman. I understand that to some degree, being a racist was the common mindset of the late 1800s and early 1900s, and (while not excusable) it was often an unavoidable fate for most White Artists. But Lovecraft wasn't exactly like most people. I understand your sentiment, and agree to some degree, but... Yeah. There's all that.
@@WowItsErin but don't you get it? If it's common it's above criticism! We should all accept it as normal and paint everyone with the same brush, even though there's a mountain of writings of people being less racist than Mr. Racism over there since ancient times. I mean, the Egyptians had a black deity of knowledge and writing, but please don't mind that.
@@wilddogspam Damn... You right...... I hadn't even considered your flawless argument of moral absolutism.......... I've been schooled................. Ruined.........................
Stranglehold will always be my favorite flavor text on a card, the art is of someone crushing another persons throat, while the other person, who is incredibly boney, helplessly reaches back to the assailant, with the rules "your opponents can't search libraries" and "if an opponent would take an extra turn, that player skips that turn instead* the flavor text ways "the correct answer to a barbarian's riddle is to choke on your cleverness, and die."
I feel like a nerd for knowing all the flavor texts of the cards in the back ground like, like evil twin "you can tell the evil one by the knife he is stabbing in your back"
I'm studying the Theatre of the Absurd in school so that last line before you sing has me in STITCHES!! Aaaaand the preview card line broke those stitches again...
There's a difference between boring and drilling Drilling makes a hole where there was no hole. Boring takes an already made hole and makes it bigger or makes the material stronger, sometimes done on a lathe where the cutting tool isn't spun but the part is. So the flavor text is correct, the rakdos are never boring into someone, their always drilling.
My absolute favorite bit of flavor text on a custom card I designed is for Acquired Taste. Two cost black instant, remove a poison counter from target player and you gain 5 life. The flavor text I put says, "We expected her to fall from the first drink, but instead she asked for a second glass..."
In Brazilian Portuguese, Drill Bit's flavor text was adapted, beacause there's no single word that has both meanings of "booring". So in PT it reads "Esse é de perder a cabeça!" (something like "This one is to lose a head"); you can "lose your head" metaphorically, as in being amused beyond any measure, or you can literally lose your head... as in "it gets physically separated from the rest of your body".
I love your content, seriously one of the best presentation style out there. You remind me of rhystic studies with the effort and quality. Truly phenomenal!
My favorite will always be tied between "Ach! Hans, run! It's the Lhurgoyf!" And "It doesn't think. It doesn't feel. It doesn't laugh or cry. All it does from dusk till dawn Is make the soldiers die. -Onean children's rhyme"
I feel there is some strength to the pun of Drill bit just being two words. its almost got the cheese of the art. A bad punchline, ala Root of all Greevils. Your replacement joke kinda feels weak because it's so stretched out. (it also loses the 2 word pun mirror with the title.) For another example: "Try not to get bored." kinda feels like a pretty standard magic card flavor text. The loss of the 2 word punch hurts. here are my attempts to keep it short: "Getting bored?" "Boring!" "Never Dull" "Twist Ending" "to the point" "Riveting" "Cranked up" Cheating with more words can help though, with flavor or world-building at the cost of impact: "Try not to get bored - Advise to first time viewers" is nowhere near as snappy, but I can see the scene of the Rakdos father buying the tickets and slapping his increasingly concerned, raised-by-Ohrizov-mother-but-is-staying-over-for-the-weekend, son on the shoulder dispensing this sage wisdom shepherding him into the front row. "Shouting 'Boring!' at a Rakdos event is a daring form of audience participation." just adding a 'Fantastic' to Twist ending makes it sound like a play review. or "Look out for the twist ending" "Hopefully it's not dull" is nonsensical enough if you miss the titles pun, like i did, that you might reread the card for context getting that groan that all good puns come with AND has 2 layers to the pun. Or just go FULL PUN OVERLOAD where you sacrifice humor for MAXIMUM PUNS PER FLAVORTEXT(shamelessly reusing jokes from just seconds ago which just makes the twice as funny, of course): "Agonizing performances with a dull and boring twist ending. It was riveting! --Surviving Audience Member" uses rule of 3 AND world building. "he BORE witness to one HELL of a TWIST ending." is probably my most groan-worthy one. Anyone else got ideas? i'm tapped out.
During the explanation of the 3 steps of comedy, I kept picturing Mekk Knight Avram, from yugioh. A vanilla monster from the lore-heavy Crusadia cluster of archetypes. Having a Final Fantasy inspired storyline with epic, high-fantasy adventure, awesome fights and plot twists galore, Avram is the transformation of ome of the heroes into the next stage in their journey. Showing him posing in an anime protag power-up moment fashion, this turning point in the narrative is punctuated by it's single line of flavour text: "Check THIS out!".
I'm sitting here. In bed. My partner and my 3 year old child both snoring next to me, watching a video about Mtg. Of course both of them decided to wake up at the ukele/smash mouth part. Thanks spicerack, I'll never be able to explain this to them.

The flavor text of Drill Bit is so so, but the double meaning of the name is too excellent to ignore.
... Holy shit. Drill bit meaning the head of a drill and "Drill Bit" meaning a comedic skit featuring a drill or a skit being drilled into someone's head via rehearsal HOW DID I MISS THIS HOLY SHIT
@@Spice8Rack I'm king of comedy for the day!

Oh, well this answers the question "Did he ignore Drill Bit's card name on purpose despite talking about Disturbing Plot's ?"
Kudos for actually acknowledging it in the comments, but we'd expect no less from a good lad such as you.
God not that old drill bit again. Lay off the bad card and move to another joke!
If there are two things I love, it’s comedy, dry analysis of pauses in text, and goblins.
well played.
*You didn't get me with the Comedy Of The Absurd bit until the ukulele. Then I just fell to pieces. Well done.*
Erin Page for me it was only when it zoomed out
It was really good XD
I didnt break until the lizard showed up
Really helps that he had all sorts of Shrek references littered through out the entire video
LAYERS!!!!
I’m a weak ass sucker for laughter and almost killed myself laughing during The entirety of the final segment.
If there’s anything a Spice8Rack hates, it’s a pun- especially Wizards’ sounds-like puns, the symbol of their creative team.
The fact that Lovecraft was so racist is still my favorite joke
He was bombastically biggoted.
"Guys, I just worked out what to name the cat in my book" Lovecraft deep reference
@@Spice8Rack maybe a racist but I still love the atmosphere of the stories
@@Pookie2112 as long as what you enjoy isn't the racism, he's dead so it doesn't matter.

Yes my child, I will be gentle. But don’t tempt me...
Another video masterfully done. The All Star song at the end really got me, almost didnt notice the other bit.
Yeah, I did not see that coming. And the pants around the ankles gave me flashbacks to an old man singing "That Old Gray Mare"
69th like ye
now THAT is a spicy moustache
It reminds me a tad of Steven Toast's 'stache, for some reason.
NGL, that was a genuine concern I had, thank you xD
That joke was my fave
“A goblin offensive?”
“More like Bore Ragnarok!”
My favorite is the old Lava Axe- “Catch”
Okay this was definitely worth the wait. I am so happy your channel blew up recently; you definitely deserve it!
“He complained because the act was boring, and then he screamed because the act was boring.”
Good one, but I think without the and it's even better.
I love the Rakdos's Drill Bit.
It's never boring.
P.S. I LOVE puns.

EDIT:
This is the bestest video I have ever seen.. I'm lost.. Entirely lost for words.
I know it was probably spoiled after you were already done with the script, but you 100% should look at the sorin's thirst flavor text, it's golden.
I didn't expect #MTGWAR to have so many great jokes in it, otherwise I would have saved this video

There's a difference between boring and drilling
Drilling makes a hole where there was no hole.

My favorite will always be tied between "Ach! Hans, run! It's the Lhurgoyf!" And
"It doesn't think. It doesn't feel.
It doesn't laugh or cry.
All it does from dusk till dawn
Is make the soldiers die.
-Onean children's rhyme"
FINALLY YES PLEASE
Hi, I found your videos yesterday and I'm very happy to say I've been binge watching them ever since. You have amazing quality content - love it, man!
So, when are you releasing your cover album?
obliterate's flavor text about barin always get's me to tear up a bit
I feel there is some strength to the pun of Drill bit just being two words. its almost got the cheese of the art. A bad punchline, ala Root of all Greevils. Your replacement joke kinda feels weak because it's so stretched out. (it also loses the 2 word pun mirror with the title.) For another example:
"Try not to get bored." kinda feels like a pretty standard magic card flavor text. The loss of the 2 word punch hurts. here are my attempts to keep it short:
"Getting bored?"
"Boring!"
"Never Dull"
"Twist Ending"
"to the point"
"Riveting"
"Cranked up"
Cheating with more words can help though, with flavor or world-building at the cost of impact:
"Try not to get bored - Advise to first time viewers" is nowhere near as snappy, but I can see the scene of the Rakdos father buying the tickets and slapping his increasingly concerned, raised-by-Ohrizov-mother-but-is-staying-over-for-the-weekend, son on the shoulder dispensing this sage wisdom shepherding him into the front row.
"Shouting 'Boring!' at a Rakdos event is a daring form of audience participation."
just adding a 'Fantastic' to Twist ending makes it sound like a play review. or "Look out for the twist ending"
"Hopefully it's not dull" is nonsensical enough if you miss the titles pun, like i did, that you might reread the card for context getting that groan that all good puns come with AND has 2 layers to the pun.
Or just go FULL PUN OVERLOAD where you sacrifice humor for MAXIMUM PUNS PER FLAVORTEXT(shamelessly reusing jokes from just seconds ago which just makes the twice as funny, of course):
"Agonizing performances with a dull and boring twist ending. It was riveting! --Surviving Audience Member" uses rule of 3 AND world building.
"he BORE witness to one HELL of a TWIST ending." is probably my most groan-worthy one.
Anyone else got ideas? i'm tapped out.
'Awkwardly bursting into song' is my favorite comedy trope.
*Jalapeño mustache intensifies*
During the explanation of the 3 steps of comedy, I kept picturing Mekk Knight Avram, from yugioh. A vanilla monster from the lore-heavy Crusadia cluster of archetypes. Having a Final Fantasy inspired storyline with epic, high-fantasy adventure, awesome fights and plot twists galore, Avram is the transformation of ome of the heroes into the next stage in their journey. Showing him posing in an anime protag power-up moment fashion, this turning point in the narrative is punctuated by it's single line of flavour text: "Check THIS out!".
YESS the video is finally here! It's a Christmas miracle!
I'm sitting here. In bed. My partner and my 3 year old child both snoring next to me, watching a video about Mtg. Of course both of them decided to wake up at the ukele/smash mouth part. Thanks spicerack, I'll never be able to explain this to them.
