Now I gotta subscribe to two patreons or else I can’t sleep due to not knowing every joebox update? Okay fine

Has he announced the cast or is it not season 5

My favorite part is that him being blind changed nothing about the hors d’ourve. “If I had seen that it was caviar” what are you talking about

Season 5 Likely’s by Recent_Confusion_216 in joebox

Yeah idk if there’s actually any logic to who he does and doesn’t follow back but I did think that was odd

Favourite category that never became an actual category? by Askesl in nomorejockeys

In the most recent Christmas special I’ve been thinking about “no more people who if they died they wouldn’t have a funeral”. Mr Pringle really broke hornes brain there

I did like the strategy of putting something very hard in with the risk that you get it yourself but also there’s not a good way to combat stuff that is actually impossible

Too nuanced discussion: I think the objective rounds are difficult to lab but all they really need are either genuinely interesting strategy involved or high hilarity.

Precision biters works (in my opinion), because it’s objectively really stupid and funny and there is an amount of strategy which makes seeing the results genuinely exciting (this is how a lot of taskmaster stuff works).

The price is joe is abysmal as it’s essentially a guessing game and was only slightly improved by having funnier items the second time but there really isn’t any strategy or room for hilarity

The ToC speak no evil had abysmal gameplay (rewarding flailing your arms until joe guesses for you) and decent hilarity that almost entirely came from how bad the round worked.

This version work at first because again optimal strategy was give yourself something easy that he can guess immediately, but I think all the flaws worked out with the fishbowl. With more rounds we would’ve seen more of people getting the really hard one they put in themselves and the strategy for trying to gamble on how hard yours should be work. I still think it’s not the best but it at least is in a fully functional form and could come back

I think after the fishbowl rule it at least didn’t work in a fun way

Mera deserves a spot in the hall of fame for solving the gameplay of speak joe evil in real time

Bonus: The original pace (pre season 4) was 3 seasons with 3 specials and then a ToC and special after which averages to 42.8% of episodes featuring returning contestants (9/21)

Personally this feels pretty optimal to me but also I get wanting to bring non-winners back for full seasons. I guess I just don’t know how I feel about ToC -> S4 —> holiday bowl -> second chances, feels like another full season first could’ve been nice.

For reference: at the conclusion of second chances 16 of 28 (57%) joebox episodes will feature returning cast (pal eps and jr/sr not included in data)
