I love how katie isn't being messed with and somehow almost gets chicken wrong both times

[vlpngvn]

I love how Brennan's face shifts when he sees that first bird.

[zachnoland]

The emotional journey of overconfidence to panic to boiling acceptance all played out on Brennan's face is priceless

[Aaronmillager]

What I wouldn't give, to see the universe where Brennan knew those birds and foiled Sam.

brennan repeating "stay calm" to himself had me screaming with laughter

[eric]

This is now the meanest thing that Sam has done to Brennan. Love it.

[DarkHarlequin]

Carolin saying 'I know that one!' for the rosate Spoonbill was SUCH a good knife to Brennans side 😁

[CritSuccessNerd]

I love how Brennan just randomly started pacing. You could tell it was genuinely getting to him

[cnomad]

the best part had to be brennan between his outraged "i'm sorry, just penguin? just penguin?!" and his frustrated "that's a chicken again" before immediately walking away from the podium to try and calm himself

There is no person more enjoyable to watch be twisted in the wind than Brennan Lee Mulligan. Except perhaps Amy Vorphal, but Amy just self-destructs on her own, there is no need to even set out to ruin Amy. Amy just spontaneously combusts in fits of laughter. Both are incredible viewing experiences. And yes this is my way of saying I have watched this clip over a hundred times since upload.

The condescending "SORRY Brennan" is just the icing on the cake

[Blucham]

This moment is SO funny, and it’s LAYERED! All those clips out there of Brennan talking bird facts. But he is on record saying he wants to dispell this myth people have of him as a “Bird Guy.” He’s not obsessed with them, but insofar as Brennan just knows a lot of stuff about a LOT of stuff, sure, it’s above average.

There’s footage of him talking with Lou Wilson about it, while inevitably spouting off facts about crows, and Lou roasts him like, “I dunno man, that’s a lot of crow facts for someone who’s NOT a bird guy.” Just hilarious, how Brennan can NOT seem to shake the meme, despite specifically going in to do so.

So when THIS happened, I absolutely lost it. It’s funny that Brennan can’t control his heart rate over the fear of a game rigged against him… but it’s EXTRA funny knowing that deep down, he knew this was the opportunity he had wished for… but it meant he’d have to lose a competition! Oh sweet monkey’s paw irony 😂

First it was making a game brennan cant win
Then it was a game that brennan *might* win
I love you sam reich

[Aburaishi]

I think Carolyn deserves some extra credit here — I feel personally certain that Brennan's breaking point was when she said "Oh, I know this one!" about the Roseate Spoonbill, and then proudly looked at him when he got it wrong

I'm an educator and I think I will use this video as a training example for testing inequality, grading inequality and teacher prejudice

[sampepper]

when Brennan said “that’s a chicken again” i laughed so hard my soul momentarily left my body

[phi]

this is incredibly brutal. tailored to this man's psyche. it reduced brennan to a puppet dancing on sam's string.

[Notbatman]

For those that don't know, the contestants are hooked up to heart rate monitors and the goal of the game is to not have your heart rate increase by more than 20 points above resting.

[Gambit]

I mean technically the Siamese Fireback is a Pheasant 😂

[Fable_Hound]

You know he went home after this and started diligently memorizing birds
