This was just so awesome to see, and Jones with that terrific Phil impression. Perfect.

Potentially the single best piece of content produced by the easy allies. Every bit was excellent.

I really wish she would become an Easy Allies member or something. I've tried watching what the Funhause guys have had her do and I can't stand their humor. I find them extremely low brow and quite frankly disgusting , immature and obnoxious at times. Same goes for what they're doing to another person I used to enjoy content from, Allanah Pierce. I respect both these women a lot and I think it sucks that whatever they're getting paid over at Funhause it's just stunting their growth. They can do so much better. Ian and Elyse have always had a great bit of chemistry for Mandatory Update so maybe we'll get more down the road!

I don't like Funhaus either but they're so much bigger than Easy Allies, you can't really say it's stopping their growth. Love the Allies but being stuck in Jones garage for 3 years averaging 20k views per video isn't exactly the best career path.

Last time we had this was HAWP's Undertale episode. Had a huge grin on my face when I got the email this was uploaded. Also wish Elyse could join EZA. Got no love for Funhaus.

They have Rooster Teeth money, I'll give them that. But when I said it stunted their growth I meant more so in their talent than how much their monetary gain is.

Wow holy shit this was actually really funny. Jones as Phil Spencer was too good! Loved Bosman just chilling off screen too. Cozy vibes. I wish this show would be a weekly thing so bad.

This is the content I want from Easy Allies.

Edit: just got to Bosman as Houser... hahaha.

I didn't get the Fallout 76 joke. Can someone explain? Though my main thought was why they got the release month wrong or maybe that was somehow the joke.

Man, the writing/peformances were TIGHT in this. EZA really needs to do more scripted stuff!

Definitely agree with this also. Whoever wrote these jokes was on top of their game. I'm really hoping we get more scripted shows from EZA in the new studio. The streaming stuff they do is ok but I don't have hours and hours to sit and watch someone else play a video game (I wish I did). It would be nice to have more shows from them like this.

Phil Spencer and Dan Houser bits were great hahaha. "Move a white dot around the screen then press R2, which will make me and my brother billions of dollars"

Phil Spencer and Bosman pretty much doing Bricktop was pretty good.

But that Detroit joke was the real star.

I echo everyone saying they'd love more scripted stuff/ sketches from EZA. I've been calling for it for a while, as they're really good at it. Fingers crosses the new studio bring more opportunities for this type of content.

Oh man this was good. Hope it's a regular thing. Elyse is a treasure.

And yeah, I agree. Funhouse is awful and her talent is wasted there.

Nice! Also if we're bringing back old stuff from gametrailers can we get epic battle cry. Miss them :(

She was the missing piece all along, EZA please bring her back! I used to love Mandataory Updates. I'm glad to see that the chemistry is still there.

Don't make me miss GameTrailers anymore, please!

Sigh...

*Deep breathes*

This was awesome, EZA. I loved every bit of this video. Thank you for the laughs and for ending 2018 with a bang. The few moments Elyse makes an appearance are wonderful moments.

The bits about Phil Spencer and Dan Houser plus Fallout 76 absolutely killed me. What a treat.
