Currently, my life's greatest achievement is getting Graham to recite every single made-up drug nickname from "Drugs, Drugs, Drugs" in a TTC Nicknames episode.

An Offer You Can't Refuse will always be "I'll pay you two treasures to fuck off" in my heart.

5:19 I love Kathleen's disappointment when she realized there wasn't just one line of the song, and the increasing sighs every further line

The Sticky Fingers nickname is actually a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure reference. A lot of stands in JJBA are named after bands, musicians, or songs, so many of them have to get their name changed for the American release, for copyright reasons. Some changes were minor, like "Metallica" becoming "Metallic", but the stand "Sticky Fingers" was rather infamously localized as "Zipper Man".

"I always turn treasure tokens into angels when I have this card" That's the point The treasure tokens all represent halo in the set Halo is all liquified angels. This is literally representing the halo turning back Into angels.

"Musk Dangler" is exceptionally rude and I love it.

Ay, got one in there for Getaway Car! My original plan was to do a Dave Spokesman script for all of the vehicles in the set but I couldn't quite get there. Had one for Capenna Express too that just ends with "Dave's Train Place and Space Race! Go away!"

For the record, my nickname for Soul of Emancipation was prompted by that one guy who demanded to know where the angels were coming from on every Angel card. Did _not_ expect that one to get so popular, but I appreciate it. Thanks as always for letting us put words in your mouths!

28:08 Julie d'Aubigny was a 17th century French courtier/duelist/opera singer. There was an Extra Credits episode about her a few years ago.

Julie D'Aubigny is the internet's favorite historical sword lesbian. She'd often attend parties dressed in masculine clothes, challenge men to duels (occasionally to steal their partners) and then would reveal herself as a woman when she beat them to rub salt in the wound. She's an absolute icon.

Can we PLEASE a) get announcements of when the nickname page is open for submission and b) have separate times for name submission and name voting? The current system dramatically overweights “I was looking at the page in the first twelve hours”.

55:17 So fun fact, apparently several years ago at my mom's work I saw one of those "THIS DOOR IS ALARMED" signs and drew a Post-It note of a door bein' like "oh nooo :o" Not only is it still there to this day, it features in a book that their office made for a coworker's retirement, because he said it was his favorite thing the office.

The Obscura Storefront one was a reference to Good Omens, I think

That was an incredible line delivery on "halo's not a drug. You can also use it for GUNS"

I do feel the need to be that guy and explain that I think the joke with Sticky Fingers (Zipper Man) is a JoJos reference. See, in the anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, all of the characters' Stands (superpowers, basically) are named after bands or songs, but in the English localization, they can't use those names because of copyright, so they have to change them. Zipper Man is the localized name of a stand called Sticky Fingers, which by the way is from Part 5, the one where all the characters are in the mob.

The opening hours from Obscura Storefront are from aziraphale's shop in Good Omens

Owwww. The browser pun was painful in exactly the way a pun should be. Well played...

The Obscura Storefront name is, I think, a sign that was on a character's bookshop in Good Omens? I could be wrong

I love these. Most of the names are dumb puns but that's honestly the best part

Played my Gishath deck last week. Can confirm that Jetmir's Garden is "Naya Triome."

I don't know if it's weird how MUCH I love these episodes, given that I only interact with MTG via the LRR folks nowadays, but seeing the word "Nicknames" in my sub feed ALWAYS improves my day.

Regarding Raffine and Connive X, it is the same ability covered under the same rules section, it's just a variant of the ability. Luxior also features another variant ability, with its "equip Planeswalker" ability.

@42:30 Good Omens reference! My Boi Mr. Fell owns a bookshop, bug only as a place to keep his books.

It's spelled d'Aubigny in case you want to look her up. You want to look her up. Also, yay, I won a few times! Woo! (The KoD stands for KingOfDoma)

Is it just me, or did they miss Professional Face-Breaker?

Slightly disappointed that none of the Fall Out Boy references got picked for "Light Em Up" cause that's where my mind went immediately when the card got spoiled, but otherwise excellent nicknames all around. And I do admit, finger guns is a pretty good nickname

I'm now really upset they didn't work an eyeball into the Riveteers logo, so it could be a Union Eyes

I'm a little sad the commander exclusive cards weren't given nicknames, because I really wanted to hear Graham say "A Pulverizer? PERRY THE PULVERIZER?" in Doofenschmirtz's voice.

I'm super happy my nickname for Brokers Veteran made it in.

42:21 This is a reference to (I think) a sign in the window of Aziraphale’s shop in Good Omens

I'm now disappointed that we didn't band together to call Halo "Special Horse Meth".

The junderdome is now my go to phrase

32:05 as it turns out, that *is* a reference which retains its value.

38:39 TBF, Avacyn and the Inistradi angels didn't go mad on their own accord - Nahiri drove them insane by twisting the mana-flows across the whole plane and calling down Emrakul. Simply trying to work out what was going on drove both Tamiyo and Jace crazy in the head, as well as "inspiring" a whole bunch of humans into becoming mad cultists. And even through all of it, Sigarda resisted and remained uncorrupted.

9:35 "George, ... what did you do with the money?" followed by "Burps up change" in the context of what they were talking about suggests a .... somewhat atypical way to dispose of a body....

Have you done a crime or several? Are you on the run for a bank heist, a murder, or both? Then blitz your way on down to Dave's Car Rental and Scented Candles! Perfect for your go fast and smell good needs. Yum? Our cars have been proven to reach 60 at certain times. I would tell you for how long, but I won't. Act now, and I can promise you Dave's Car Rental and Scented Candles: We also have candles!

No joke, just as the Falco Sparra card came up, I got a notification on my phone for a new Legal Eagle video. Life is great :)

I checked the website a couple weeks ago and it was still on Kamigawa, and I just forgot to check, and missed the window! Gah!

damn! the legendary french duelist references!

Industry, an integral part of green color pie I have been saying that from day one...

Two nicknames, yay! So happy for my contribution to your comedy!

Holy fuck Halo Fountain made me fucking loose my mind, I got lightheaded from laughing. That is one of my top sketches yall have ever done. If I ever show people your skits I have to show that and the Hot Sauce one.

I love these episodes, and I wish them to last forever! That said, I agree that I hope there can be a way to make it so the nickname suggestions aren’t weighted towards getting in there first. It seems the page randomizes the order somewhat, but it seems like separating voting and submissions so there’s no missing a bunch of them. Steve, I love your site, it’s nice and clean! I just hope it can be better. :)

Fantastic bit of serendipity with Cameron's comment after the Rabble Rousing nickname, given that none of you were sure where it came from - the song lyrics: 'Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men. It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again.' come from Les Miserable - it is the song sung by the young revolutionaries as they try to whip up support for their revolution. Cam's joking 'Spoilers: they all die' is far more accurate than it seems he was aware...

I came in like a Wrecking Crew, swinging my big ball at you.

Huh. For once the threaten effect wasn't named "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal" or some variation thereof.

I only refer to Jetmir as The Great Catsby. It just fits so well!

Talking about Brazen Upstart makes me realize that we need to have a Punt/Counterpunt about "most punchable face in Magic". Love to see Nelly and Wheeler take that on. (Maybe call it Punch/Counterpunch as a special episode title? Also feature fight cards, punch cards, and hasty creatures? Dunno, just workshopping here.)

Graveyard Shift has made me laugh for two full minutes, and I still get occasional bursts. It's the alt name, but 50% at least Graham's serious delivery

This was a good one. Some had me just making pained faces, job well done!

Hearing "Lucario" a number of times despite not realising the site was up caught me off guard a couple of times. 'grats to that guy/gal/pal I guess

the set lighting is so good

Jinnie Fae is also "Pars Well with Bootleggers Stash".

In response to cam’s comment, prisoners in the US often have to work for almost no pay and if they don’t they can be punished with things like solitary confinement. So yes, slavery.

Pay for Silence I think was the card? No one thought "Hush Money"?

There's never enough content like this.

Sometimes some of these names are so cringey it hurts. But if you can make it through those, there is some gold.

I guess we'll never get that Taking it/To the streets card ☹️

I've been waiting for this!

I think Cameron is going to enjoy the WH40K commander decks

Despite the good reference we all know it's real nickname is Mr.Oreo right?

Man I know Emily and it's awesome to hear a bunch of hers got voted for. Along with that all these names are just so good XD

I've been waiting in the wings

Psychic Pickpocket? They sure do!

I completely forgot to make any submissions, but my ideas were probably bad anyway. So it goes.

Glad to see how many of mine made it into the episode!

The Obscura Storefront nickname I'm pretty sure is referencing a picture of a real hours listing on a store front.

Ohno a missed JoJo reference! Sticky Fingers is the original name of a stand, while Zipper Man is the localized (and copyright conform) version.

Ah chrome cat. Arch rival and nemesis to Firefox. Watch this week as they do battle. Only on pay per view. You paid for the whole seat but you'll only need the Microsoft edge. It's a mouth full but with some practice in front of the mirror I should be able to force ~10 or so in a draft deck and be everyone's favorite person at fnm.

I always love the nickname episodes whether I get any of my own suggestions in or not. It's definitely an extra joy to see you react to nicknames I submitted Especially the art observations! I'll admit I've taken to the metagame of checking the website at least daily once a set releases to play to the early submission bias. I'm in favor of a shift in the system to counteract this bias though. Workshop Warchief will always be Thraghorn in my heart though. Wish that nickname would have won.

Glamorous Outlaw, Julie d’Aubigny was also a duelist check out the Extra History video about her!

Here we go!

Disappointed that nobody suggested “Phoenix Wright” for Falco

I got two in, but I still like my nickname for the cleanup crew.

Engagement for the engagement god!

I'm disappointed none of my suggestions made it through but great episode as always

HI JAMES IN THE BACKGROUND!

#Engaging with this #content by displaying overwhelming excitement that five (!!!) out of all those 261 names I wrote made it in!!

14:28 *Technically* , a woman who cuts down trees is a lumberjill.

I personally call Tenacious Underdog "Bodacious T"

Why isn't this called Loading Ready Pun?

59:55 I mean if you prefer, I'm pretty sure you have a small child laying around that could say it instead...

Ah darn none of mine made it through

I feel like at least 1 person on these needs to know about jojo just so theres not going to be comments going "oh this is a jojo reference"

Missed Professional Face-Breaker?

To be fair to Brokers Hideout, read the flavor text

Surprised I managed to get so many in! Mine were from invernce, this account is just old.

@8:25 One red mana pip different.

25:34 i get why it wasn't popular but I'll always call Falco "el rata alada"

28:08 If I had a nickel for every time I had the opportunity to follow up a TTC nickname with a Tom Scott / Citation Needed video, you'd know the rest of this joke by now. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6x8kq1y0L2-qWw.html

Not "Mr. Oreo"? I'm somewhat disappointed.

i dont get the connection between the drugs sketch and halo fountain.

32:00 the Elon jokes have aged... let's say, differently.

A fact about Julie D'Aubigny I didn't see repeated in the comments: She once rescued her girlfriend at the time from a convent by setting fire to her girlfriend's room with a corpse inside taking her place. If you would like to know more about this incredible lady, the Citation Needed episode about her covers the high points of her life in a very entertaining manner.

29:53

53:54 Why does Cam say murder?

first! hoping some of my names made it in!

+

First! Something something engagement

suprised one of mine made it I spent most of my energy this nicknaming complaining about how the angels make no sense as the story makes a point to tell you the angels are gone
