- Can we guess why these things age so, so poorly.
- Let's talk, talk about that.
(theme music plays)
Gooooood Mythical Morning!
- History is full of mistakes.
Sometimes they're good like penicillin,
post-it notes, or chocolate chip cookies.
But sometimes things that seem great
at the time have aged incredibly poorly
like Britney and Justin's matching jean outfits
at the 2001 AMAs.
Ooh, I can't forget that!
- Ugh!
- Puttin' cocaine in Coca-Cola, I'm trying to forget that!
- Oh!
- And wearing Crocs to a petting zoo.
- Yeah, the Croc holes are perfectly sized
for petting zoo poop pellets to pass right through.
- Right through.
Many big name corporations and publications throughout
the decades have made poop the shoe level mistakes!
So how about we turn these outta fashion whoopsies
into a big fat game? - Yeah.
- It's time for All Of These Things Have Aged Oh So Poorly
If a Canadian Is To Blame, They Should Say Sorry!
- [Link] Okay, here's how this is gonna work.
We're gonna be shown an old ad, article headline,
or some other kind widely distributed material
that has aged particularly not well over time.
However, some keyword or pieces of information
have been censored out and guess what we have to do?
- Fill it in.
- We have to uncensor it using our brains
and these whiteboards to guess.
- I love fillin' it up.
Okay, whoever is closest to the correct answer
wins the round, and the loser of each round
is gonna receive a punishment in the form of something
that has aged poorly.
- Points escalate each round,
the loser will receive a very
special piece of poorly aged art!
- Oh!
- Alright, Stevie.
Show us the first one.
You're the judge. - [Stevie] Okay.
Yeah. Yeah. I'm always the judge.
So we're gonna be like traveling back through time,
so I'm gonna go with the most recent poorly aged things
and then we're gonna go further and further back.
So first up, we have an article from 2007,
fill the blanks from this Tech Crunch headline.
- [Stevie] The Futurist, colon,
We predict the blank will blank.
- 2007.
- [Stevie] And like in this whole game I'd say,
the blanks don't necessarily represent the number of words.
If you wanna put more words in the blanks
sometimes that's okay.
- Yeah, but it has to fit in that place, right?
- [Stevie] Well, yes.
That, yes.
- Okay, here we go.
- It's 2007.
Get myself in that 2007 frame of mind.
- Okay, I said the internet will implode.
Now I mean, not literally, but like, you know, figuratively.
No, one's gonna care.
I know that's kinda late, but that's my guess.
- Huh? Hmm.
- I was kind of close.
I said, the segways will proliferate.
- Oh, you went positive.
- Yeah. Right.
Yeah, that's back, it was at the golden age when we thought
it was gonna be like, - 2007?
- Everyone's gonna be on these things, man.
Everyone! Your grandma included.
- [Stevie] Okay, it actually said,
The Futurist colon We Predict the iPhone Will Bomb.
(Rhett chuckles)
- [Stevie] So I feel like Link is,
Link is a little bit closer on that one.
- Yep. Yeah. - [Stevie] And he wrote
the date in the top corner of his board.
Rhett, because you lost the round,
you must wear this dyed, fake hair clip in,
the fashion equivalent of this poorly aged article.
- I like that, right there.
- iPhone has done pretty well.
Just for the record.
- Ah.
- Okay, next up we've got a 1998 article
from British magazine, 442.
- Oh, yeah.
- [Stevie] 442 did a nice little spread showing
what they thought celebrities would look like
all the way in the year, 2020.
And here's what they thought one
British celebrity would look like.
Who is this digitally aged celebrity?
- [Link] I don't re, first of all,
there's nothing recognizable about this person.
1998 British celebrity?
- [Link] Oh, shoot. What is that guy's name?
I'm just gonna have to describe him 'cause I,
- [Rhett] I can't remember this guy's name either.
- [Link] Really? I'll tell you your guys' name
if you tell me my guys' name.
Rhett, you first.
- Sir. Paul McCartney.
Yeah. - What?
He was an adult in 1998.
- That was, that was a joke.
It was, he was already older than this guy.
- Oh, so, - In 1998.
- Oh, you made a joke.
- I didn't have any good guesses.
- I can't remember his name.
- I was gonna say Ian McClellan
but like I couldn't remember his last name.
- Angry Batman from the Christopher Nolan films.
Christian Bale. - [Stevie] Christian Bale?
- Christian Bale.
- [Stevie] No. This is David Beckham.
- [Link] Oh! I see it now!
- [Rhett] Yeah, and he kind of,
he, that is how he looks now.
- [Link] Yeah. That's a, they, they,
well Rhett's guess was,
- I had a, I had a person though.
- His, his,
- Mine's an actual person's name
it's not a description of a person.
- [Link] It makes, his guess makes no sense.
- [Stevie] You did write the date at the top of your board.
- Hey! You, - No I think-
- No, you can't be giving
points for writing the date! - Don't tell him that.
- She's not, she's not giving me points for that.
She's giving me points, - [Stevie] Okay, fine.
- He was a child actor. - [Stevie] No points.
No points this round.
You both get a photo that shows
what you will look like in the year 2025.
- Oh good we,
- Oh.
- Oh my god.
Look at this! - Yeah, that is awesome.
And probably very accurate. (laughs)
- [Link] It's so scary! - [Rhett] I love it.
- [Link] I am not gonna have the same haircut
and I'm gonna have a beard when I'm this old
to cover up that chicken neck.
All right, hit us. - [Stevie] Okay.
This is a headline from an article in the Telegraph
back in the nineties,
reviewing Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace.
So fill in these blanks.
Blank will soon be as loved as blank.
- I got Portman there. - Okay.
Is that a distraction?
- He's got Portman there.
Okay. This one seems obvious to me.
You think you got it?
- [Rhett] Yeah.
- Yeah.
Okay.
Did you say Jar-Jar will be soon as loved as Yoda?
- I said Jar-Jar will be as beloved as Chewbacca.
- Mm.
- [Stevie] Mm, it's gonna be tough because it was
Jar-Jar Binks will soon be as loved as Winnie the Pooh.
- [Link] What?
- Oh! But I, look I put,
- Winnie the Pooh?
- Hey! Stevie, I put Binks in there.
- [Stevie] (gasps) That's true!
I think that Rhett gets the point.
(Rhett cackles)
- Oh wow! You did say Binks.
- [Stevie] So, Link, that means we have to show the world
a photo of the time you, yourself made a bold
cultural statement.
- [Link] That's photoshopped.
- [Rhett] No, I remember when you said,
I remember when you said,
I believe that they have the purest love.
- Kimye is forever.
- And if they don't last,
then there's nothing else to believe in.
- [Stevie] Oh boy.
This poorly aged comic strip cell is from
Batman Number 66 in 1951. - Oh! We're back to Batman.
It reads, meanwhile, at the Joker's hideout,
the joker says, "So they laugh at my blank will they?
I'll show them.
I'll show them how blanks the joker can make!"
And I'm looking for, - Didn't age well.
- [Stevie] A singular word.
- That works at all three places.
- [Stevie] Yeah. It's also on the front of
the newspaper that he's holding.
- [Rhett] I feel pretty confident.
- Really? This is freaking difficult, man!
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You gotta think, 'aged poorly'.
- Alright.
What did you say?
Oh! You know what?
Let's plug the Mythical Census
before we give our answers
'cause this is important. - Ah!
Tricky, tricky, tricky!

which we, the whole team discussed
everything that, that, that you told us.

So few of you live in Sumner County, Tennessee!
I mean, we got, this is information that we need.
And seriously, we do a lot of things with this information,

Okay? And claim your coupon.
Thank you for filling out the survey.
Even if you never filled out anything,
especially if you haven't,
this is the, this is the time to do it.
We need you! - Okay.
I was a little influenced by an earlier,
- Okay.
- An earlier question that we had.
But I'm pretty sure it's,
- So they laugh at my, - My iPhones, will they?
I'll show them!
I'll show them how many iPhones that joker can make!
Chortle at Joker's iPhones!
- Uh. - So iPhones was my answer.
It was three times.
- Mine. I don't know.
I, I, I said, so they laugh at my makeup.
I'll show them.
I'll show them how many ups the joker can make!
- Oh!
That's weird. That's weird. (everyone laughs)
- Chortle at the Joker's makeup.
- [Stevie] So! They laugh at my boner will they?
I'll show them!
I'll show them how many boners the joker can make!
- Oh that's, that's slang for iPhone!
- What? What does this mean?
- Is that is that an iPhone in your pocket
or do you have a boner?
- How the heck?
What, what?
What's he talking about a boner?
What is a boner?
- [Stevie] Mm.
That is a good question!
- [Rhett] That was a long time ago.
- [Stevie] While we try and find the answer to that,
oh! It's a mistake!
It's a mistake! A boner is a mistake.
Thank you, Carney.
- Just a mistake?
- [Stevie] You, let's see, who won?
Makeup? iPhone?
I mean, at this point what's, Link was trying.
Link. - Brett wasn't even trying!
- iPhones! - [Stevie] Yeah, exactly!
Link gets the point. - Punish him! Thank you!
- Come on! - [Stevie] Rhett,
you have to take a big old bite
of this not connected to boners in any way,
banana, which has also aged quite poorly.
- [Rhett] Oh my goodness!
Oh my gosh!
That's what you get for not trying, you smart aleck.
I'll show you how boners I can make!
- Oh! Look at that.
Look. Look at that!
- [Emily] Oh god!
- [Link] I like how you smelled it first.
- [Rhett] It's nice on the inside.
- [Link] Ew, gross!
Alright.
- [Rhett] (laughs) They laugh at my,
- I'll show them how many boners the joker can make!
- They laugh at my banana boner.
- [Stevie] Okay, this is an ad for men's ties
from designer Van Heusen.
- [Link] Mhmm.
- [Rhett] Oh my gosh!
- [Stevie] Though the ads visual message
very much speaks for itself,
fill in the blanks for the tagline that aged
even more poorly than the picture.
Van Heusen, show her it's blank.
- [Link] Show her it's time to get off your knees, girl!
- Mhmm.
- [Link] You think you got this? 'Cause,
- [Rhett] No, I definitely don't.
But I think I've got a good slogan.
- I'm willing to bet you $50 that he,
that he put boner in his answer.
(everyone laughs)
I know you did, man.
I haven't even looked.
I know you put boner in your answer.
- No, that would've been good.
It would've been better than what I actually came up with.
I came up with what I think is a good slogan.
- Oh, you're trying now, okay.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Let's hear it.
- Show her it's more than a tie.
- What else? What?
(everyone laughs)
- I don't even, it just sounds like a good slogan, you know?
- I, I think,
- Show her it's more than a tie.
- I think this, this,
they could have thought this worked.
- Okay.
- Show her is business time.
- Oh!
Okay. Okay. - You get it?
You get it? Business time? - [Stevie] Yeah!
It's, oh it's worse than that.
It's show her it's a man's world.
- [Rhett] Oh! Gah!
Come on, Van Heusen!
- [Stevie] Ugh, oh it's bad.
- Man's world.
- [Stevie] I mean both of your guesses were pretty good,
but I understand Link's a little bit more so,
I think Link's gonna get the point.
- Well the ambiguity in mine is what makes it
a good slogan. - [Stevie] Okay.
- What do you mean it's more than a tie?
Well, do you wanna find out?
- [Stevie] Let's see, your punishment
is a poorly aged fitness trend that's similar to misogyny.
It makes absolutely no sense,
please show this shake weight that
it's a man's world for 10 whole seconds.
- And let me tell you while he is doing that,
if you wanna spice things up in a bedroom
slap on a dress shirt and a tie.
Period.
You know what I'm sayin'?
- They laugh at my boner!
(everyone chuckles)
(grunts)
- Stevie, let's move this along.
- [Rhett] You wanna see how many boners
the joker can shake?
- [Stevie] It only gets worse from here.
- Okay.
- [Stevie] We've got a very poorly aged Vaseline ad
from the 1940s.
Fill in the blank.
Caring blank always blank.
- [Rhett] Okay. Alright.
- [Link] Okay, I'm not proud of this one.
- [Rhett] Alright. Go for it.
- Caring moms always rub it.
- [Rhett] Okay. Alright.
Well, I got pretty close to that.
I said caring boner, always boner.
(everyone laughs)
- I, I was, I was a question too quick.
I always, I'm always a little too quick with the boner.
- I should have waited.
You have a slow boner.
You know what I'm saying?
- I got a, - Delayed boner.
- Yeah, you gotta, - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You gotta wait for it.
- You can't be an immediate boner.
- [Stevie] Caring dads always lube.
- [Link and Rhett] What?
- [Stevie] Just really,
it rolls off your tongue, doesn't it?
- I mean, I was so close!
- Link did say moms.
- [Stevie] Yeah, I'm gonna,
I'm gonna have to give this one to Link
so that means that in this round Rhett,
- Caring dad's always lube?
- [Stevie] You have to put on this puka shell necklace.
A male fashion trend that aged about as poorly as
the words dad and lube in the same sentence.
- I kinda feel like I'm winning.
- [Stevie] But also, Link,
you sir have won the entire game
which means, - Of course!
- [Stevie] you get a nice, aged piece of art.
And that piece of art just happens to be
that photo of Rhett that he no longer gets
to keep of himself, so, you'll be going home
with both of those lovely pieces of aged art.
- Gosh, this is our freakin' future!
- [Rhett] I can't get this on
so I'm gonna hold it like that.
- At least we get, look, we look shocked at how ugly we are.
- (chuckles) I'm so ready to look like that.
- Thanks for subscribing and clicking that boo!
- You know what time it is.
- Hi, I'm Megan Forsythe from Pasco, Washington.
And I'm gonna try a McRib for the first time?
And is this time to spin The Wheel of Mythicality.
No, Rhett. Why?
- She loves it. You can tell.
- She made up her mind that she wasn't gon' like it.
- She's acting. - And I agree!
- She's a great, great, great actor.
Great actor but she loved at McRib.
