"A slight panic buy of gas masks" somehow stands out to me more today than it did four years ago...

I love how Brannan immediately misremembering "bum faced men from Venus" as "bum faced goats from Mars" accidentally worked in his favor because of the Mars Canals stuff.

WHAT'S TOM SCOTT'S FAVOURITE COLOUR? MATTE GREY!

"...Chris save us" that is the most plaintive cry I've ever seen

"Half the wheel is France" has got to be one of my favorite quotes from citation needed.

"6 years later how are we still relevant?" Not to worry guys watching this 5 years after upload and still relevant and entertaining. Look forward to when you can get together again and release some more content

My dad lived with a French family for a year or so. One night they were having steak, and his French father (not his biological father, but the father of the French family) walked inside, crying, holding a platter of medium-rare steak. When my dad asked what was wrong, his French father told him that he had burnt the steak to a crisp.

I liked how Gary pointed a the other three AND the camera.

“A jump in the sale of something” Toilet paper!

"Serviced By A Psychic" There's the title of an autobiography!

"No, he just took his spiritualist in for a tune-up", that genuinely made me laugh out loud. And nice Doctor Who reference, too, "every planet has a North", haha.

"PANIC!" "Eh, to a certain extent." "MILD DISQUIET!!"

To be fair to gary, in india people do eat what he called a "samosa butty" just, call it "samosa pav" where pav translates to bread. So not too far from indian street food there. Yorkshire is essentially india. who knew.

I have just been amazed how quickly and accurately people put out the subtitles

Dearest, Tom Scott, Chris Joel, Matt Gray and Gary Brennan - I am addicted to your show. I have now watched each episode at least 10 times. No joke. It's getting sad. I need more. I need my fix. Stop screwing around in Antarctica (no doubtedly hugging penguins), or traveling to New York (because you've already hugged a penguin), or cycling w/ a flask of brandy, or spending hours on Tinder and get cracking!

I feel very inserted.

"It's for the future" and "an audible HA!" had me in tears. I had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard. I love everybody on the show!

9:58 If Tom would be drinking alcohol, I am certain he would have downed an entire glass of wiskey or gin&tonic at this very point, just to drown the disappointment and sadness caused by Matt's pun.

Also, Camille had a brother who founded what is nowadays one of the biggest French book and magazines publishing company and that is named after their last name.

Hey, just wanted to thank whoever does the subtitles for doing them. Even though I am not hearing impaired, as an American, it helps me catch the words I don't recogniz(s)e.

Surely it should of been "bum faced aliens from Uranus"....

@2:00 I think it worthwhile to point out that there is, in fact, a much-loved manga & anime series about gondoliers on a terraformed Mars; titled Aria.

I love it when Tom rolls with the tangents that they take. It takes the show into a very fun direction.

It's great binging through these and seeing the evolution of Chris Joel's beard. By the final season it's damn glorious!

"I have a vision of someone who worked in a factory." You're in the North...

As I watch this I realise that I'm sitting next to a book printed by Flammarion publishers (Les coulises et la création by Cedric Villani and Karol Beffa) glad to see that the name lives on in scientific publishing!

Jokes about how long to grill meats are a rare medium, well done in this case.

My whole family is still spiritualist, every service i went to i kept thinking "if you want to make me a believer say..." never, in several years did it happen. They say people shouldn't doubt but if they don't doubt and verify how did they claim to be a scientific based religion?! Years latter my dad told me they learnt on some classes they teach there to their workers that humans have spread across earth when it was a pangeia and it happened some 5k years ago. Come on!

Gotta say, Tom, I love this show. It's one of my favorite things on KZfaq.The trivia, the facts, the fiction, the subjects, the tangents, it's all gold. Keep doing what you're doing, all of you guys. I will always look forward to the next episode of Citation Needed.

I still watch these everyday

Discovering there's a new episode of Citation Needed is like putting on a jacket you've not worn for a while and discovering there's half a packet of Jelly Babies in the pocket :-) or is it just me?

"Every planet has a north" Is that a cheeky doctor who reference

I love Citation Needed so much. It's unfortunate the seasons are so short, but it's understandable.

"Half of this episode doesn't make sense!" "It will do in the future..."

Since KZfaq now has the "play at 0.25x"-feature, I can confirm that Tom says "...for partic good answhiches"

1:16 I think Tom's voicebox tried to restart there before he could push the button saying 'Cancel Update'.

You guys should share the Wikipedia article being discussed, in the video description

i have been quoting “MILD DISQUIET” for years now

Tom's "i'm sorry, what?" cracks me up for some reason

I spot a Gopro on the extractor hood :P ~goes back to see if it's there in other videos!~ Superb as usual! I was absolutely hollering, too TOO funny! Actually took a good 25 minutes to watch 'cause I had to keep rewinding bits :P

"Everybody has a north" In America we have a south

You guys find the fun in the weirdest corners of Wikipedia. Love it.

Had a kinda shite day today and was sorta hoping there'd be a new citation needed to cheer me up since I hadn't checked in about a week, but then I remembered this was the last of the season. Ah well, it was a wondrous season. Count this as my repeated vote that I did, in fact, sign up for this.

its 6 years later -- still relevant!

The MSL (Curiosity) rover, when folded in the storage configuration, is the size of a Mini Cooper. When I was an intern at JPL, I saw a photo of the aeroshell on a Mini as a size comparison.

Enjoying the War of the Worlds reference, I'm hearing the rest of this episode in Richard Burton's voice.

I am forever grateful to this episode for introducing me to the paradigm of cooking prowess that is the Samosa Butty 😂😂😂😂😂

"Every planet has a north" - Every episode has a Doctor Who reference somewhere!

These really do make my week

"PANIC!" "Eh, to a certain extent." "MILD DISQUIET!"

I've been a fan of yours for a couple years now and I wanted to say that this series it one of the most entertaining I've found on KZfaq. Keep up the good work, I look forward to more content!

Mild disquiet! That line got me.

the captions at 2:40 say No! (bumhole). Tom with the subtle post-editing banter.

this was an amazing episode and a great send off for season 5

10:00 absolutely the best moment of this season

I'm a massive fan of Citation Needed and this one is the best one so far! You are always a giggle, but I actually had several loud belly laughs during this episode. Cheers guys, keep up the good work.

"No, he took his spiritualist in for a tune up." ROFLMAO

Hey, finally I have some biscuits to eat when mystery biscuits hits =D

As far as I know the canals are miss translation from French. The just meant lines but when translated to English it came out something artificial.

Very funny stuff as always! Sad to see it's the last one :(

Fun fact, I watch literally everything in 2x speed whenever possible because most videos go too slowly for me to be engaged otherwise. This series is the only thing I could watch on 0.75 speed and still be perfectly content!

Just watched The History Guy's video on Halley's Comet, and just had to come back and watch this again.

And now it's time to go into a coma until the next season! :D

that was a very quick 15 minutes! great show

"Hello world origination this is Matt Grey." Priceless

"handy a few years later" oh sweet summer child

"a slight panic buy of gas masks" that would be funny if we didnt know what that looks like now.

4:38 I mean I'm here binging this series in 2022 so iunno

As long as Humans don't reach mars until 2028 #YesEarth #LeonMuss

He really IS my favorite Gary Brannan! How did you know???

8:50 a few years later indeed

Good to see more subbed videos, even if I don't need the subtitles personally.

Best one yet, and I'm only 5 mins in. 'Cubism' cracked me up hahaha

As an astronomer I went to this video just after read Camille Flammarion

That's it for season 5? ;( MOAR!

4:15 - Tom trying to get the conversation back to the topic. 4:19 - not a chance

i know its hard for them to make these epsoides but i hope that sometime in the future that they make a podcast in this format.

Nearly 7 years and no love for taking your spiritualist to be serviced because "the readings were off"?!! Gary Brannan is indeed my favourite Gary Brannan.

It took me WAY too long to get Matt’s “well done” joke

My Grandma was called Edith..... and I'm from Dewsbury, a mill town in the north!

I like how Chris is much more still than the other 2 during the introduction.

7:53 tom really screamed in lowercase

we need this but 1 hour long! 15 mins is to bloody short!

These four would make a killer ttrpg group.

Definitely still relevant, Gary.

In the 20 seconds from 1:25 to 1:45 the thing that has bum faces changed 3 times Bum faced men from Venus Bum faced goats from Mars Bum faced aliens from Mars Make your mind up 😂

I wonder if Flammarion's cyanogen scare is where Conan Doyle got the idea for "The Poison Belt"?

Best KZfaq title ever.

_slight panic buy of gas masks_

"After being serviced by the medium " 😆

please make a podcast version of this, it'd be preferable, tbh :P

I'd say to Flammarion, not a good enough reason to use 'impregnate'...

So sad the season is finished but absolutely cannot wait to see the live show! I am going to be fan-girling pretty hard I think, so apologies in advance.

Puns persistently perusing the plain preposterous of pseudoscience

It’s like the Pheonix night medium

"Martian canal boat dwellers, beaming their thoughts down!"

who else can't stop looking at the gopro on the overhead stove vent?

I've replayed it several times and I... I have no idea what he said to get those biscuits.

Sad thing nobody mentioned that Flammarion is also a very well known book editor in France (possibly outside it too ?). I don't know if it's named after him or someone else but it might very well be.

With the canals... I heard It was a mistranslation of canali, meaning channels in Italian... I may be very wrong tho
