To be fair, don't have Christmas Crackers in the US either. But used to get all those toys in Cracker Jacks or at arcades. You could trade in arcade game tickets for those parachute men, clip on mustaches, or finger traps and such. They were never your first choice, but they cost so few tickets, so people ended up getting them all the time.

I would like to add, even though I'm from America, these past few Christmases my family would open Christmas crackers my parents bought from a shop somewhere. We also have always had a Christmas cracker as a decoration for our tree ever since I was a kid. I had no idea until I was an adult that Christmas crackers were considered a chiefly British thing.

Harry and the unbindable rings pushed me to crying in laughter

Holly hell, I've heard about all those toys here in the US, but the whole thing about crackers had me just like Zylus which made the rest of it sounding so absolutely british. Talking about emotion reading fish and frogs that when you force them to jump apparently make you feel sad. Like a South Park episode.

7:10 "What would it be like to have humans?" - Ben, a father

As a Brit it had never occurred to me how alien Christmas crackers sound from an outside perspective

For this entire map I was itching for someone to take one for the team and just keep respawning at the bottom to take out all the mines. As an American I relate to Zylus' complete confusion over Christmas Crackers

As American/Belgian and someone who spent majority of their teenage/early adult years working minimum wage jobs in the US, and then a regular retail work in Europe I can guarantee tipping is a fascinating concept. At the grocery shops in America people genuinely would appreciate it when I would carry their bags to their vehicle, and tip me a $5-20 note. This meant I could eat a decent lunch without having to spend my VERY hard earned money. Now on the other hand whilst working in Bicycle shops in Belgium I would spot fix a customers bike, clean it and then place it in their vehicle--without even so much as a thank you sometimes. In America I was paid 10 p/h & in Belgium 20 p/h. So you can see why for Zylus 'tipping' is a foreign concept because in general the amount of money you'd make from a tip is about the same as what the average wage gap is.

The gift set never changes in Crackers, another classic that wasn’t mentioned: plastic police badge. Officer Christmas on the case.

As a 27 year old from the US, all this talk of the christmas cracker toys is really hitting my nostalgia center! The emotion fish!! The terrible puns and paper crowns were always my fave part.

My family has started using crackers as a secret santa. We're all given someone to buy a small present for, then we take the original cracker present out and put ours in.

Ben's conversation ideas have been gold. One of the funniest episodes in awhile. And I barely knew what they were talking about.

Watching Osie slowly roll into a mine in slow motion in real time

8:42 poor Osie doesn’t realize you are able to control which way the vehicle flips over with (in my cases, the joystick). WHERE'S MY MONKIE STICKER?!

I don't know what it is but the talk about sticky men and watching them roll down the hill over and over again is just the most I've enjoyed TTT in a long time. There was something completely unhinged about this episode.

How the discussion went at 14:19, with them being confused how Zylus hasn't heard of Christmas crackers, gave me the giggles. Namely when they get to the paper hats/crowns.

Harry is easily the best of the Yogscast - the right kind of sarcastic funny, great comic timing, and competent at games.

A meat raffle is something you'd only recognise if you're from Devon or Yorkshire, it's a very "rural town" thing. Most of us just buy our food.

When they were talking about the sticky men I thought of our version of that. It wasn't a man but a sticky hand with an elastic cord made out of the same material, so we could throw it at a wall or a window and then yank it right back again. Of course if multiple kids had their own, then it could turn into a slap fight and someone having to pick it out of someone elses hair.

8:42 the most tense thing I’ve ever watched

Osie showing the difference between North and South with the meat raffles here.

If Zylus is going to call Anglo xmas 'weird' then I'd like to hear him explain Black Peter!

For the first half if the cracker conversation i was fully convinced that they were talking about old school cracker Jack prizes. And then Christmas came up and I was lost

The british cracker things conversation was mind-blowing, but especially because I only recognized like 1 in 4 of the things. Such madness.

I think the best thing I ever got from a cracker was a pair of nail clippers. Surprisingly good quality. The screwdrivers are a close second, only knocked down cos they tend to snap.

Yes I love those little screwdrivers, theyre perfect for all the tiny little screws on electrical stuff And funnily enough my BIL is Dutch, we had that exact conversation his first christmas

Watching it for Australia!!

This episode has THE best banter of any GTA race in recent memory

(US)American here, I'm familiar with the fortune teller fish, the jumping plastic frogs, and the metal ring puzzles, but I don't really associate them with Christmas. The puzzles are the only ones I remember getting at Christmas (in the stocking), the other two I got in goodie bags from birthday parties, usually at one of those places with the crappy (but fun) arcade games where you win tickets and turn them in for prizes. I think I've gotten the plastic frogs in my Easter basket before as well. Good memories.

alot of these toys were here also in Canada back in 90s, I remember having bunch stickymen.

so glad to have more Harry love on the main channel. Thanks everyone!

Most relatable episode of the gta podcast yet! The cracker nostalgia! I never understood the point of the plastic film fish

I remember Christmas crackers or something similar. It might have been just like the same kind of crap prize out of boxes of Cracker Jacks or Screaming Yellow Zonkers. I do remember the mood fish. There was also a red cellophane fish whose only trick was, you rubbed it with your fingers and when it got heated from the friction it would curl up, then as it cooled down it would flatten out again. I guess that was an early novelty version of memory plastic, which now is considered high tech

I absolutely love how (mostly with the constant of Osie and Boba) these videos have (d)evolved into the most bizarre tangents. Gone are the days of idle chatter and in comes the "Age of You Fking Wat?"

Harry blowing up after going up the tube the first time almost made me spit out my food. I was caught so off guard!

I am half through that video and listening to you brits talking about all that cracker stuff sounds so alien to me. A emotion fish, a sticky man …? Really? I cannot really not decide if I am intrigued or happy about that I know nothing about it. I love the culture shock.

As an american, not only do we not have christmas crackers, I don't even know what they are, and I only slightly figured them out from context. They are apparently some kind of gift (or rather just some "thing" as Im not sure they are a gift) that have the following properties: -Two people compete for one by breaking it like a wishbone - They somehow produce an object that is generally dissapointing - The objects produced seem to be common ones such that the Yogs all recognize them, and perhaps have the same ones each year. I truly can't fathom why they are clearly so integral to British Christmas, so much so that a British person couldn't imagine Christmas without them, when they just seem like some kind of gag gift. Different cultures are certainly always fascinating.

Harry Potter books are literally the only reason I have ever heard of Christmas Crackers. They are an extremely UK thing.

A collection of blobbies is called a blob lot imo. Also it's crazy how close in proximity this episode is with the latest Podiots where they have this exact discussion.
