#youtuber to celebrity pseudo bacon game

[mortimermcmirestinks]

I wanna play a game

gimme a youtuber and a celebrity and I can connect them

[mortimermcmirestinks]

ok now i have a question: does the celebrity need to be internationally famous? bc if not, i'd like you to connect TomSka to Jeroen van Koningsbrugge (a Dutch actor). i'll admit i did try to picked two ppl that i think are probably connectable, but i'm still curious to see how you'll do it :)

well see the thing is that our boy jeroen was in the marvel cinematic universe, a franchise that also includes one Anna Akana, who was in this Paint video with Jacksfilms, who was in this asdfmovie with TomSka (that's 4 but I could probably do shorter)

If you are still doing the degrees of separation game, Gene Simmons from KISS and Aeneas, writer of the Aeneid.

no hate to you, obviously, but I find issue with this prompt for a couple reasons -- principle among them being that the game was originally YouTubers to Celebrities, and while I've stretched it a bit over time, idk if I can count the mythological figure of Aeneas as....

ehhhhh fuck it

kiss was in this scooby-doo movie

scooby-doo also did a batman crossover

here's batman meeting zeus

and here's Zeus, aka Jupiter, and Aeneas.

okay boys that's four steps but idk if I can do any more fictional characters, that's straying a bit from the prompt

If you are still taking prompts for the YouTuber to Celebrity Challenge: Brennan Lee Mulligan to Neil Gaiman?

for sure chief

Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer

Amanda Palmer and Matt Mercer

Matt Mercer and Brennan Lee Mulligan

Easy. Peasy, even. Three steps

in regards to your linking thing, what is the maximum number of steps you will ever need to link two things?

the traditional answer to this is "six" but I'm gonna hedge my bets and say that as long as we stick to the parameters of "youtuber with a sizeable audience" and "known hollywood actor" then I could probably do twelve. I don't thiiiink I've ever actually gone over six under those specific conditions tho (don't quote me on that)

Connect Seanie dew (ik he's a streamer but close enough) to AOC

oh absolutely my man. I'm gonna retread some steps I did over here, though, because SeanieDew is in this weirdly insular subsection of gaming YouTube that's kinda difficult to find a way out of.

SeanieDew was in this video with WaffleTime

who was in this video with Chippy

who was in this video with Jaiden.

Jaiden was in asdfmovie, which also features (at some point, I can't remember the specific episode) Abi Thorn

who was also on our old friend the hbomberguy charity livestream with AOC.

five steps, but that's only because I was lazy and didn't try to find a shorter route from Sean to Hbomb

[mortimermcmirestinks]

if you're still doing the youtuber to celebrity thing... manyatruenerd (civ player) to Gandhi (civ character).

sure thing buddy boy!

Many A True Nerd did this thing with UpIsNotJump

UpIsNotJump was in this thing with Hbomberguy

obviously Hbomberguy did this thing with AOC

here's AOC with senator Ed Markey

Ed Markey was preceded in office by Torbert MacDonald, who both A) has a fantastic name and B) looks exactly like him

Torbert was college roommates with JFK

here's JFK with Indira Ghandi (no relation), nee Indira Priyadarshini Nehru

and here's a photo of young Indira Priyadarshini Nehru with Mahatma Ghandi.

eight steps is a little too far for my taste but Ghandi is a historical figure so :/

Tom Scott and Secretariat (the horse) (yes he counts as a celebrity)

Bet.

Secretariat with his breeder Ms. Chenery

who had a cameo in this movie about him, also starring Eric Lange

who was of course in Victorious with Darsan Solomon

who had a cameo in this video which also featured Erik from Internet Comment Etiquette

who was in this video with Jacksfilms

who did this with Tom Scott.

Six steps! Coulda been shorter probably

[mortimermcmirestinks]

I'd like to submit jacksfilms and musician Jimmy the rev Sullivan from avenged sevenfold for the celebrity youtuber connection game

Jacksfilms to the Rev? you got it!

The Rev passed away in 2009, but his band kept going; here's Avenged Sevenfold with Linkin Park

for some goddamn reason Linkin Park was in an episode of Good Morning Chia Lincoln Good Mythical Morning with Rhett and Link:

aaaaaaand jacksfilms:

Three steps(ish), four if you count the Rev to Avenged Sevenfold as being a step since he wasn't in the Linkin Park video

Gabriel Iglesias and mr. beast

hey, did y'all know that gabriel iglesias was, like, an internet person before he was a popular standup comedian?

anyway here's him on Equals Three with RWJ

who played, among other things, Goku in ERB, across Superman played by EpicLloyd

who was in this ERB as turtles across a Raphael played by Anthony Padilla

who was in this video with mrbeast

I barely had to google for this one

four steps, possibly three depending on whether you count the two ERB videos as two steps

[mortimermcmirestinks]

MrBeast was in this video with Marques Brownlee

who of course played a starring role in YouTube Rewind 2018 alongside world-famous YouTuber Will Smith
