JUSTIN MCELROY, KING OF DATES! | Polygon plays JACKBOX Party Pack 4
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- Griffin McElroy's last wish was to play a round of Monster Seeking Monster with the Polygon Jackbox crew and of course, world-famous brother Justin McElroy. We obliged; we're not monsters! We also sneak in a Quiplash at the very end, for old time's sake.

this game is the best when everyone in the room hides their identity and chooses the most out there names to throw things off. the fake flirting gets really bold and hysterical when no one knows whos who
Holy crap that sounds so fun-
I have to buy this game just so I can do that now
666th like. That sounds super fun I want this game now
It's the only way to play it tbh lol
Unless ur like me and my friends who’s flirting is already incredibly bold even when we know who everyone is
agreed-my friends and i always play it anonymously, and it ramps the hysterical flirting up through the roof. personal highlight is when a friend used my name and impersonated me for the whole game
“that explains why his first message to me was ‘stay safe out there’”
I SNORTED
I really love his commitment that joke that she would not get
Pat not getting a single date the entire game is both sad and deeply relatable
gotta fucking love that profile pic
Spoken like a true lesbian.
But griffin!
as I think Facepalm might have been alluding to... but, but, but... Griffin/Pat match at 5:16 ?
he got One with griffin
haha these mackelroy kids are funny polygon should hire them
Kennedy hol up
ecksdee
These kids are fathers, you silly goose!
that spelling error was intentional right
no way, they are the worlds boys.
Justin unemotionally saying "That's me. I'm a witch," is the mood for this month.
i love that the one scenario where "the golden state killer was arrested" joke would've worked was in the last lash where nobody actually looked at the prompt.
I love how they all agree that this will be for job interviews not dates, and then IMMEDIATELY get freaky with the sexting.
is that not how you're supposed to apply for jobs? that would explain why the nursing home won't call me back
The layers in "Gay marriage isn't legal in oz" astounds me
Would you mind explaining, friend?
Yeah would you
discrimination
@@professionalworm789 But yeah none of that background actually matters - Tin Man is from the Wizard from Oz & OZ = Aus(stralia) is all you need to get that joke :)
Jordan
Ok
actually goof troop was the name of the scientist you're thinking of goof troop's monster
*Um AcTuAlLy He DrOpPeD oUt Of CoLlEgE sO hE iSnT a ReAl ScIenTiSt*
The monster calls goof troop father and thus is a goof troop
@@mathybrain8 so I know people are joking around, but everyone who does the whole "Frankenstein's monster" makes me wanna rip my hair out
Tara: that's a real nice moustache you got there
Brian: Thanks but my best trait is audience retention
Unravelled Season 2 was Foreshadowed?!?!
I'm not at all opposed to the way it seems like Griffin and Justin are still Polygon employees but their only job is to appear in videos and have fun
Do you know what happened to make them leave I never learned
@@AlphaMaleJoey they just got too busy with their other stuff nothing terrible
Daniel Rhymes oooh thanks dude
Daniel Rhymes I wonder if part of it too is that Grif did a lot of work with Nick and after the whole fiasco and betrayal he felt and probably Justin as well to a lesser extent it probably made the workplace feel not the same magic as before
what fiasco? what happened?
Griffin's last answer was just "BOY!" - The most on-brand way to sign off at Polygon.
My favorite way to play Monster Seeking Monster is everyone being anonymous so at the end of the game everyone yells out the nicknames of those who have wronged them
playing anonymously is a fantastic idea
"Brian is Simone's mom" is my favorite part of the Polygon lore canon
"My two dads but one of then is also an otter"
I'm assuming the other is a twink.
Actually the other dad is a bear.
A space bear?
i was hoping someone commented this adfsgdhf
the true gay culture is making endless bear/otter/twink jokes at the slightest provocation
Can I have an otter dad?
Simone's 'c'est moi! L'homme invisible! :)' killed me
"The Magic School Bus Goes to Hell" was a short film the 10th grade humanities class at my school made nine years ago. It was the only ever successful short film and the only one with surviving footage from the brief period during which they were being made (it took up a lot of class time and the teacher who led that project left to start his own charter school, which... didn't get very far). It was on UA-cam until a couple years ago, when the student who posted it (a COWARD) took it down. It is a lost piece of our school's mythos, and embodies how the school's attitude has changed, and not for the better. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
PLEASE tell me it was saved somehow, you can't leave me hanging like this without knowing what this incredible short film was like
@@BonnieBoestar the class in question were given copies on DVD (I've laid eyes on one) but the chances are slim that I can get my hands on one
ERA type beat
@@R-wzd u get it bro
I still don't understand how Simone's laugh can be both objectively obnoxious and the most adorable joyous outburst that I don't ever want to stop.
SheddyBear - because women in entertainment aren’t allowed to be anything less than appealing to men at ALL TIMES. On another channel Simone either wouldn’t have been allowed on the video team or she would be harassed into hiding her ‘ugly’ laughter. Her laugh is joyous because it’s genuine and unashamed. She’s not worrying about how she’s viewed when she laughs.
The rarity of a laugh like Simone’s is also a large part of why people like it. Hearing it is like breathing when you didn’t notice you were holding your breath.
im here both for simone love and feminist essays about women in entertainment
Ian Canham Yaaass
I was holding my breath while I was waiting for just the ti
Prettypinkdork She allowed me to stop manually breathing
I will never get over, "We left the damn space ship up there!" There will just never be anything funnier.
every time Pat references nut in space it adds 5 years to my life.
Ya gotta be immortal
brian: gotta keep my role secret
brian, when simone didn't get a date ( 6:44 ): YES!!!!
8:45 “I’m flirting just like I do in real life which is thinly veiled threats” LOLOL
Pats dunk on Black Mirror at 3:50 was so good lmao
Cole I’m too dumb to understand it but I laughed anyway
@@ripnecco5477 It's because the Black Mirror episodes always have super-deep messages, so when a season is finished, the showrunners have zero messages left to send.
Thank you, Polygon for forcing fan favorite and reclusive cryptid Tara Long into more videos.
Prettypinkdork for REaal
"I've run out of messages so now i'm gonna talk with my mouth" ilysm
I love how Simone laughs nervously when Griffin mentions the invisible person role at 2:20
simone "the p is in the other answer" de rochefort deserved to win that round solely for that comment
JUSTIN IS AN UNCONQUERABLE CHAD
14:10 PLEASE BRIAN CONTINUE FMV QUEST
no
brian david gilbert how about one fmv themed episode of gill and gilbert?
brian pls
Unrelated but I love your icon, EXID deserves the world
I do enjoy how Pat said he wasn’t cursed and Griffin just ignored him. Good job Griffin.
Ikr griffin like actively convinced himself not to worry about it he just assumed pat was covered. But honestly the way this game went pat still wouldn't have ended up dating Griffin anyways lol. Plus tara didn't win so i guess it worked out anyways
Can we talk about how one of them said “jeez-its” when they were talking about communion wafers and then NONE OF THEM LAUGHED
happens to justin a lot
Brian, I need you to continue FMV quest so I can continue to type "want some rye, course you do" once every blue moon obnoxiously in the comments. Nobody thinks this is funny, not even me, but it is an important, sacred ritual. Only you have the power to set me free, even now the curse of not typing that has begun to work on me; I am begging you please just continue the series, put me out of my mi
sery.
this is a noble plea
want shum raahh?? courshe ya douh!!!
this comment, more than any other, makes me wish there was a form of youtube gold (like reddit) i could just deposit on funny jokesters
To this day I still get that stuck in my head on a loop every few weeks or so out of nowhere and I lovehate it
"Yeah, we're not gonna play this as a dating game"
The cast: Immediately proceeds to do the exact opposite of that
FACECAMS FACECAMS FACECAMS I LOVE IT
26:00 sometimes solely Simone's laugh makes me so happy
extremely excited with the introduction of face cams!
i love the face cams!!
gilbertandgill it is very good
you look awfully familiar
It seemed like it was covering up some important bits a couple times though? They looked like they were reacting to absolutely nothing at 5:21 and 16:17.
nobody appreciated justins “jeezits” at 21:00
Keith U jeezits are another name for communion wafers
Man, I always feel bad for people that went to a different church than I for one reason: we didn't have communion wafers, the church would bake their own unleavened honey-wheat bread for communion. It was pretty good.
Simone trying to laugh quietly is such a mood, honestly. Loved this good new game!
Griffins tone at 17:45 made my heart melt.
Loved this. Griffin geeking out over the ruleset of a "dating" game gave me some Rosebuddies flashbacks
Oh heck, this is why it was so familiar to me.
There is NOTHING that makes me happier than these face cams tbh.
They arrested the Golden State Killer Y'all w
7:50 "i'm the volcel vampire" PATRICK
wow they got nick back in at 14:40
YOOOOOO LMAO
Damn what a phenomenal burn
Speaking of burning, apparently his apartment went up in flames
That was I N C R E D I B L E.
OH MY JESUS HERALD CHRIST IN HEAVAN
polygon was foolish to think i wouldn’t notice them changing the thumbnail on an almost 3-year-old video
im so intrigued by this
is this the only thumbnail they changed or are there others? none of the other jackbox videos changed so is it a mcelroy thing? who did this
RIGHT
i want a full investigation. stop the count.
update: SOME OF THE OTHER JACKBOX THUMBNAILS HAVE CHANGED so this is probably a jackbox thing i guess??
@@daboredghurl omg the plot thickens.... i kno ur reading this polygon i want answers 👇
thank u for this beautiful gift. Also pls Bri bri do more FMV quest with Justunes....
everyone else was worried about monster factory when the mcelroys left polygon - i was just worried about justin and brian doing fmv quest, and losing the irregular joy it brought to my life.
this really is the dream team, they're all so funny and they work really well together
YES FACECAMS! Y’all have such infectious joy!
Griffin is so good at explaining things! And it’s so nice to see all of you together ❤️❤️❤️
I've watched this video multiple times and today was the first I heard Pat mutter "I'm the volcel vampire" after not picking anyone
“HHHHHHHH HHHHHHH AAAAHHH HAHAHA HHHHHHHHHHHH” like if you agree
you’re damn right i agree
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Of course
My Saturday just got so much better.
This video was good but not as good as them finally catching the golden state kil
Pat’s icon when he doesn’t pick anybody and it says rejected is honestly the look of “You player yourself.”
27:24 I don’t know about firing a gun, but I do know...
If you nut in space it push you backwards.
Oh my goodness, love the medium awareness, to paraphrase the great people in this video: ''smash the like, but leave a comment if youuu maaad'' I'm not mad guys, your wonderfully honest at least sometimes and it's like a breath of fresh air.
i said "HELL" for the magic school bus one before the answers came on screen and then when it was there i did a real life spit take
this video is so old and i forget that because everyone looks so different but the character growth
Yeah i would say brian specifically experiences the most radical change in looks over the years, pat's hair changing comes close but i think brian looks exceptionally young only 2 years ago
I still think this is the best Jackbox game ever made
y'all brian is cute as hell
Justin McElroy... wearing a beach t-shirt???? Whoda thunk??
He had a case of the mondays
He just wants to live on island time for a day
10:49 Brian dropping the real questions and then Jenna stealing my heart, where can I get the full 3-hour presentation??
brian played the mustache character
foreshadowing
I watch this every week and it never lets me down. Thanks Polygon.
Justins smile is the fucking best, i cant help but to smile back
Cameras might be more inconvenient, but damn are they helpful.
"Andrew McCarthy" was amazing! Also, "Too many moon bears scaring off astronauts" was seriously underappreciated!
When my friends and I play, we just use a random letter of the alphabet and not tell each other who we are. It's way more fun that way!
21:27 Some people at Polygon have obviously never heard of Elias "I Want Another Divorce" Bouchard and it shows.
25:08 Hairy Otter and the Amber of Sea Crits. That's it. That's the single best joke I've made in the past three weeks, I am very proud of myself. Make sure to leave a comment if you disagree (no).
This is for sure my favorite let's play for Jackbox this is so funny
OH BABY FACECAMS.. WE’RE IN IT NOW DUDES
Monster seeking Monster is my fav jackbox game- my group plays with fake names so its harder to form alliances and keep it incognito
a jackbox game to surpass quiplash
I have been wanting to play this one, it is always the one everyone avoids when I play with others. :')
@@AlmightyPolarBear Same! I don't understand why
@@chickenskink1 What's not to like in dating monsters?
@@AlmightyPolarBear i played it once with my friends and it was a lot of fun, i support what another commenter said abt making your usernames inscrutable so nobody knows who anybody is, i think it's probably both ways tho
27:20 I know this! It's now known that in 1972 a gun was been fired in space, it was a modified anti-aircraft gun and the reason was as a test on Salyut-3 before its deorbiting.
Justin, Griffin and Simone have the greatest laughs. I love it so much.
Griffin describing this game by basically describing Mafia meets those Dating-based Reality Game Shows he likes really makes this video rewarding for us Rose Buddies/Wonderful! fans.
MORE MONSTER SEEKING MONSTER PLEASE
I get excited when I see jack box games, because that’s where Arnie used to work before he fell into a portal behind a Burger King in Chicago into the magical world of foon.
And then Brian actually grew a mustache
Brian leaning into the camera at 1:19 and biting his lip nearly killed me
i watched this before i knew who bdg was, and when i saw him it felt like my heart stopped. like... its... its baeby
Why does Griffin enjoy making a game out of the prisoner's dilemma so much
McElroys!!
One of These Things is Not Like the Otter, a sitcom about an otter that got lost and is now trying to fit in to her found family of platypuses.
GRIFFY AND HOOPS ARE BACK IN ACTION
When I clicked this episode I thought it was monster prom
I remember watching this when I was SUPER new to polygon, and not knowing like anything about any of them other than Griffin and Travis, but rewatching it is the best because I can hear things and say "yup, that's a ^person^ thing to say" where I couldn't before
a weird thought, but yknow? at least one other person MUST have had the same experience lmao
this was a good last wish of griffins
GOD BLESS, I WANTED TO SEE THEM PLAY THIS FOR SO LONG
I’m sad that, for the otter sitcom one, no one thought of ‘My Brother, My Otter and Me’
Brian, Pat, Simone, Justin, Griffin, AND Jenna in one video?
Too powerful.
The goof troupe!
I LOVE IT
10:51 Jenna dropping that horror knowledge we love so dearly
thank you guys for uploading this today I just took the sats and was stressed out af, needed a good laugh like these good laughs right here
pat saying "oh!!!!" at 5:41 is so. pure
loved seeing this neat jackbox game and would LOVE Brian to continue FMV Quest PLEASE
i think a fun jackbox idea would be playing survive the internet, but (in true polygon fashion) making the most wholesome answers possible
I would love more of this game, specifically! this is great!
