I find it hilarious that Suraj name drops Meijer as if anyone outside of the American Midwest would know what Meijer is although naming Wal-Mart and Target at the same time will help.
I am so happy Suraj and others had the same reaction to Michael Emerson as i did. It makes me sad and happy at the same time. I know The Normies doesn't do rewatches, but its such a special show. Its been over 4 years since Suraj, Rana and Nikki did the reaction series , and before that reaction Suraj said he hadn't watched it in 4 years so...... All im saying is that i am down for a rewatch with new people that haven't watched it before and maybe a few guest appearance by Rana or Nikki, bc to me the second watch of Lost os always the best.
Having Michael Rapapoop in this almost ruined the whole thing for me 😔
common Normies L ..watching bad/soulless mindless garbage like fallout and live action avatar while ignoring highbrow gems like Severance and shogun lol
Hey not sure if you know this but there is a mini-series on HBO and MAX call "The Night Of”. John turturo, Micheal Kenneth Williams and Riz Ahmed star in the amazing series about about prison, perception, and you guessed it the justice system failing to get it right.
The turret completely missing the doctor and the dog is the most game-accurate thing in the show so far 😂
Bro just maxxed out his Luck stat lol
I was gonna say i have a theory maybe he hacked the turret and messed with it's targeting. that would be a very fallout thing for a scientist to do
It must be one of the turrets you build in your base in Fallout76 - those things don't shoot anything lol
@@cylontoaster7660 In In FO4 Turrets in my settlements were made by stormtroopers.
That really threw me. This and his knowledge of Lucy made me think he had a Telekinesis/Telepathy chip in his head.
A suicide pill being the most humane product vault tech has produced is one hell of a hint that they are a shady ass business 😂
And they just missed that joke completely. This was one of the funniest things in the series and nobody even reacted to it.
@@Aaroncarter95 Wasn't that funny tbh, it was mostly just exposition about Vault tec. Being upset they missed it like it was hilarious is bizarre lol
Vault tec is literally umbrella 🤣
@@Quzgait's pretty hilarious.
@@bearwithsunglassesandicecr5856 if anything, umbrella is like vault-tec light, lol
A guy in power armor jogging away yelling 'fuckfuckfuckfuck!' Is one of the funniest things I've seen!
Almost as funny as “you fought a bear, bro; not my fault you lost”
I've been there to be honest. When you get your first suit in Fallout 4 you feel invincible. Then you realise your first suit with zero upgrades is no match for a typical Deathclaw.
We all been there.
I feel like Maximus is the type of player to get really good armor early in the game somehow and is running around f-ing things up only for it to backfire on them because they lack the skills.
I figure very low Intelligence - "I is scientist"-levels of stupid - and very high Luck.
@@AretaicGames According to Fallout Shelter (the mobile game) he has 4 Inteligience
With only one Fusion Core....
He is the embodiment of the Idiot Savant perk
Maximus is like a guy who doesn’t know how to min max in a video game so he just spread all his stats all over the place and nothing is as good as he hopes it is
That turret is a mk1 in fallout it's know to be terrible so them missing the doctor is actually quite believable 😅 it's just crappy turret's they should have saved up for an mk 2 lol
This comment 😂 when I saw it was mark 1 I was like “oh they are good”
Also what kind of Enclave base has 1 turret?
@@wizofauzz It was near their base, Those could just be last resorts while the Advanced turrets are on the outside parameter of their base
Thanks for that explanation. I thought they were making fun of the glitches Fallout games usually have 😆
Bruh that is the most useless base defense turret in the game I set up 10 in my first playthrough years ago and 2 supermutants managed to destroy nearly all of them 😂
Not yall giving homegirl shit about her saying Filly but y’all thought she meant Philadelphia😭😭
@@camilocalderon6384 who tf has a problem with it so much 🙃

@@camilocalderon6384calm down homegirl
i think the turret missing shots was a nod to how much the turrets miss in-game...
It's nod to VATS, in VATS mode, all automatic fire is calculated as bursts, so if it's miss, every single bullet in the burst misses. While in real time FPS mode, each bullet has its own trajectory calculation.
no its just plot armor and bad storytelling
@@HanlonsRazor0101 … if they wanted that they could have picked anything but a turret that does the same shite in the early games… but sure.. go off i guess.
@@HanlonsRazor0101 this whole show has nods to game mechanics.
@@HanlonsRazor0101 It's obviously a reference to how they work in game. They could've very easily just not shown a turret at all and there wouldn't be any perceived "plot armour."
"He got aim bots on" He has Weapons at level 100 and the Bloody Mess, Gunslinger, Commando, Quick Draw, Finesse, Math Wrath, Sniper, Center of Mass, Concentrated Fire, Grim Reaper's Sprint and Nerves of Steel perks
And the Cannibal perk
He's max level
Ah yes. My average new vegas character
When you realized the main characters have the game traits/perks their luck/skill start to makes sense. Ghoul is a pretty high level agility build with the bloody mess perk, which is why he keeps exploding peoples limbs.
And Lucy have the Daddy's Girl perk.
The Ghoul is the perfect representation of a player character with endgame gear. He doesn't even care, he tanks bullets, he can take out half a platoon in slow mo in five seconds flat. And somehow he's still cool
Yeah his DR looks high, probably some perks adding flat dmg resistance, more than likely the ghoulish perk regenerating health with more radiation.. I'd say he's a fallout 4 luck/agility/perception build with a few perks thrown in for survivability.. Lucy to me is a mid intel, above average endurance, high charisma, she even says the perks shes tagged as "repair, science and small guns" so makes me think fallout 3/new vegas.. Maximus just seems like your basic himbo strength/endurance build who keeps save scumming just before a speech check
Wilzig must have had hella luck to avoid the fire from that machine gun.
He's definitely got stats entirely into agility that's for sure
to be fair, that turret is about as accurate as the ones on FO4 you can use to defend your settlements with.
Yeah lol, that's totally a playful reference IMO
"That checks out" is what I thought when I saw it, lmao
Chris Nolan: "I'm gonna make a movie about the bomb." Jon Nolan: "Hold my beer."
This is about the possible effects of radiation
Chris' brother be making movie about the sequel of Oppenheimer 😂
You know Michael Emerson as Linus, but real devout fans of his work also know him as Mr. Finch from Jonathan Nolan's other amazing series Person of Interest.
Michael Emerson has been in so much stuff in the last 30 years it's hard to pigeon hole him into one role.
Mr Finch and Bear!
@@Shadowman4710 If there was one role to do it with, Finch from PoI is the one to do it IMO
Loved that show!
Seeing him with a sweet guard dog ready to attack gave me heavy PoI vibes, haven't seen any other reactors or commenters mention it lol. Love that show, super underrated
I really love that the three main character represent how people play the games. You have the righteous players in Lucy. The do some bad and some good players in Maximus. And the Ghoul the players that don't give a F
Michael Emerson worked with show runner Jonathan Nolan on a great show called Person Of Interest a decade ago, he played a genius scientist who walked with a limp and had a Belgian Malinois to protect him. And for Fallout he played a genius scientist who walked with a limp and had a Belgian Malinois to protect him.🤣🤣🤣
How many Emmys did he win from r Person of Interest? The guy was rank best tv villain of all time for Ben Linus. Dont get me wrong, he was great as Finch and i really liked the character. But its like saying Timothy Olyphant was more known for the Santa Clarita Diet , more than Justified.
@@jamesgardner6707 I admit his performance was better in Lost, but at least POI had a planned out and satisfying ending that isn’t left up to interpretation.
@@jamesgardner6707 I know Timothy Olephant from I am Number Four lmfao
At first I was gonna call BS on one shot taking down that bear then I remembered those are 10mm pistols, a caliber used for actual bear defense.
2:38 For those who haven’t played the games & don’t know who the Enclave are, the Enclave are an organization made up of the remnants of the United States government from before the bombs fell who see all non-Enclave members as inferior. They are the main antagonists of Fallout 2 & 3.
and the main enemy of the BoS
What makes you say that? @@lionhead123
@@GabSte1989 The BoS view "technology in the wrong hands" as what destroyed the world in the first place, and so any remnant of the old governments of Earth are considered public enemy #1 to them. 1.) They don't want a repeat of what happened in 2077 - that makes the Enclave their enemy. 2.) They want the BoS to be the new leaders of the world - that makes the Enclave their enemy. 3.) No one has the power to stand up to the BoS except the Enclave - that makes the Enclave their enemy.
@@GabSte1989 because they are the ones that have the technology that the BoS wants and they both want the same territories, plus they are the biggest in firepower and technology so they see eachother as a threat. Oh, and they are in an open war in Fallout 3
@@lionhead123 Oh, you were talking about FO3 BoS
Hey hey hey, that turret was lore accurate okay.. well anything except accurate but you know what I mean 🤣
My theory is the dog's just ridiculously lucky lol. Kinda weak justification but there ya go
@@gman7497 That's what I love about the series, you have to keep in mind that everyone has a certain amount of Luck, it helps dispel the sense of belief. Like a lot of times I'd be like: "Sure... he or she probably just has high or low luck, that actually makes sense 😂"
Luck stat maxed out
@@knotshimi For real, haha. If you think of everything in the context of "builds", it all makes sense is tbh, enhances the experience for fans. Maximus bumbling the pistol in his suit cracked me up. It's an oldschool Critical Miss! from like, Fallout 1/2? You can fumble and drop your weapon, haha.
@@Trepanation21You're giving the writers of this show too much credit if you think they have game mechanics in mind when they write the scenes.
Most dogs in the series start off named Dogmeat. Old movie reference from the '70s. Also, emergency rations. 😂
Dogmeat in the games were always a boy, but it's a female in the show, I'm guessing it's to honour the late original dog, River.
The show is not only canon, but all the game mechanics and perks are in it
Like vats and the jet the raider inhaled in the first episode
Lucy having high science and med and using a syringer type thing, its all so legit.
Mysterious stranger when???
@@puffin7285 It would be kinda sick if he shows up for a single scene, saves one of the protagonists with a single shot, vanishes and is never mentioned or seen again.
Maximus has a large bag like a good companion that carry all your spare weapons, gears, etc. Just like in the game, lol.
Maximus' off-screen activities really seem shady. Hacking and whacking and chopping that meat.
Ma June is the tweaker lady from s2 of breaking bad. The one with the kid. "I ain't no skank."
Oh, thank you. It was killing me thinking where I knew her from.
OMG, that's right! I KNEW I knew that face! Thanks!
She doesn't even look any different. Same age and everything! LOL
@@naynay3710 Meth and Living in a wasteland has the same effect on her lol
I knew her as Patty, The Daytime Hooker from My Name is Earl.
That it's convenient that they met up so fast is kind of backwards. They are focusing on the three characters BECAUSE they are gonna meet. It's kinda when you watch a war movie and one guy always gets out unscathed, instead of thinking he has plot armor, it's the other way around: the movie is focusing on the person that made it to the end.
3:47 nope, thats how inaccurate they actually are lol
This has to be the only reaction I've seen where the HES IN LOST reaction is larger than the "did they just incinerate a puppy" reaction 😂😂😂
She was talking about her perspective and he was talking about the perspective of the dog. Dog doesn't know that the only reason he was healed was felt so he could track his owner. Her perspective was her pointing out the only reason he revived the dog was for it to track its owner. If you want to say it's your fault for assuming they were talking about the same thing that's fine, but she did say her thing in direct response to the other dude talking about the dog's perspective. But sure, let's chalk it up to Manplaining and sexism or whatever.
He's allowed to "chalk it up" to sexism. You were not involved, it's none of your business.
@@MAXISORAWIGGLES What are you talking about? He can chalk it up to whatever he wants to chalk it up to. He can say it was an alien invasion and an extraterrestrial zapped him in the forehead with a laser and it changed his mind I don't care. I just pointed out the fact that his first statement was correct about the situation and then he was essentially gaslit into believing he was being sexist and he bit a bullet that he didn't need to. That's all I said. Get over it.
@@Grimjr7 If he thinks he was being sexist, then who the fuck are you to say otherwise? People are sexist sometimes, can recognize this, and apologize for it. You're the one who needs to get over it.
I actually predicted the chicken thing too
"episode 2 starting out a little ifffffy" dudes always the first one to hate, everytime

@@massapin9293 Lol I don't have facial hair. All your comments just feel like projection so I do feel a little bad for you. Hope all is well.
you know a character is great when after they stab a dog you are still rooting for them after!🤩
Maximus getting hit in the same spot over and over again reminds me of the old Scott Sterling videos. "When Armageddon comes, I want to be in a bunker made of THAT. MAN'S. FACE."
Radioactive horses to ride.. what the hell Fallout Developers? WHERES MY RADIOACTIVE TWO HEADED HORSE!?!?
With the horse armor DLC!
Nah. Six legged horse, it has even more horsepower now than a standard horse, from 6 to 8 or something XD
I wish the reasoning was more complex than this but: the engine doesn't support vehicles, like at all. In fallout 3 you ride in a train, except it's not a train, your character is running along the tracks wearing a subway car as a hat. Except it's not running because the engine didn't support running, so you're giant and walking underground to keep pace. A horse would bring that engine to its knees
@@JaymzShikari but fallout 3 runs off of the oblivion engine so its entirely possible to have horses
@@gloomygloomstalker3878 Give it two more legs and you can name it Sleipnir

I'm in a similar situation where should I look to increase income? Do you have any advice? What did you do ? Thank you and God bless you. 🙏
Thanks to my co-worker (Alex) who suggested Ms Maria Luisa Abrams.
She's a licensed broker in the states 🇺🇸
Wow...I know her too she is a licensed broker and a FINRA agent she is popular in US and Canada she is really amazing woman with good skills and experience.
After I raised up to £228k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧🇬🇧 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
In all the ep 2 reactions. People who aren't familiar with the game: How did that turret miss?! Bad! People who are familiar: Haha! Yep! Those things suck.
In regards to the inaccurate turret; Aside from being very inaccurate by default, there's 7 attributes for characters to spec into in the games like Strength Intelligence and Agility. One of those attributes is Luck, which among other things increases your chance to hit with weapons as well as dodge incoming enemy fire In other words, the doc has high luck and the turret has 0 luck since its a cold heartless machine
24:00 To be fair to Chris, Marketa did respond to Suraj speaking for the dog with a "No," and then started going on about why the ghoul saved the dog. So, she was trying to womansplain at Suraj first in that specific instance, and gaslit Chris into thinking him trying to explain what Suraj was actually saying was wrong. But the whole filly dispute was absolutely on the fellas, so it's all kind of a wash in the end there.
Ghoulfriend... Chris... "Slow Clapping"
"Did you peel that guy out of the suit?" Fun fact: The red overalls Maximus is now wearing while in the armor is specifically what *only* Knights wear underneath, not squires. He didn't just pick him out of the armor, he stripped that guy naked and put his literal clothes on too.
"How do we establish to new viewers that the Enclave is evil?" "Well, you ever seen John Wick? We do that kinda thing but..."
never thought i’d hear a Meijer reference on The Normies lol
Yeah the Turrets are meant to shoot like dogwater its a meme in Fallout at least the MK1 series
6:40 The look Suraj gave at "are there radioactive animals?" *EVIL GRIN OF ANTICIPATION*
The subversion of what WE ALL expected with Michael Emerson's Wilzig character was amazing. Between his... gravitas(?) and prominent trailer role I assumed he was a season long quest giver lol
"You done fucked up now, fiendish Dr. Woo!" I see you Spidey. 4:44 I got a thing about cockroaches too. When I was a kid, I walked into the living room and there was a huge roach on the wall. I stared at it for a second then it flew straight at me and hit me in the neck kind of hard, landing on me. I definitely freaked out. I was across the room and I never had a roach come directly at me. Also I can't stand people squishing bugs. It makes me sick. Around that same time as a kid, where I lived there would be palmetto bug (roaches) season. They would be everywhere and all over the fronds and leaves of plants and trees. You could grab a leaf and pull your hand across it and get a handful of them. Kids would do this and throw them on the ground, then stomp on them; Well mostly the boys, or maybe just my friends. I did this once with them and puked after two minutes. We'd also go destroy wasps and bee hives. Then I found out I was allergic to bees.
I dunno if we need the "This is in the game!" every two minutes. Especially when not all of it is actually in the games. But I mean I get it, people really like the games.
Chris definitely pre watched. No way he predicted the chicken f***er
Saw it the day it came out man !!!😅
Suraj & Micky, I love seeing you guys get excited over the fallout game references. Never change!! 😊👍
I am LOVING this show so far, didn't expect Michael Rapaport as Knight Titus but it was so damn perfect.
I checked out when they were arguing about Philadelphia and spidey about something not based in reality 2 minutes in. He broke his own personal record about complaining about something
ya he always complains about something. Its rather annoying
@@TTVTheDoctorJay Marketa is worse than he is.
She tried to say that suraj was wrong with his take, she was confused. The dudes are right.
Titus' reaction to the bear is every fallout/elder scrolls player after encountering a big ass creature about to kill them in their first playthrough, you just start running while screaming fuck fuck fuck fuck
1:20 I have literally never seen Spidey this shook
16:08 Yes, you can fly in the game lol. Though, they’re not leg or wrist mounted rocket propulsions like Iron Man. They’re actual jetpacks that go on your back that you can use to fly yourself or an entire suit of Power Armor if you wanted.
I lile how the dog never died or anything, hes just roaming around sticking with someone until they die or leave him, hes essentially just the 4th main character
In all fairness for the knight, Maximus watched this man get bodied by the bear for a few minutes before shooting once. I would also be pissed but yeah he kinda killed himself at the end there lol
"Talkin' bout a Yao guai, or Yao guy".
Mark-1 turrets? You try to hit something with it. The fact that it even shot in their general direction is miraculous. Fallout branding is just the best.... Nuka-cola Jims Limbs Plan-D ( Banana flavored ! ) 😉👍 Yes the most humane product ever produced by Vault-tec.... THINK about that! 😱
I feel like the first half of the season you just have a lot of things thrown at you which results in unanswered questions but in episode 3 you will start to get more and more information about the world. Ep.3 is when I personally started to get really into it.
The Ghoul picked the Bloody Mess Perk.
Love Michael Emerson, he also worked with Jonathan Nolan on "Person of interest", one of my favorite shows of all time and his character also had a similar dog. He is currently on the series "Evil" great show too btw
Rad-X side effect is dehydration (though most chems do that). So make sure you've always got extra water!
the machine gun missing every shot is one of the most lore accurate representations in the show up until thta point XD
Pip-boys are just personal computers they made be standard for vault dwellers but other factions and wastelands use them
Filly - as in land-fill-y
The bad thing about all episodes dropping at once is having to wait for the normies reactions haha
Very excited to see Suraj's reaction to Michael Emerson. I had the same reaction
16:33 That was 100% Necessary! How could he have not done that! Dude was saucing!!
Shoutout from @funnylilgalreacts for the Lost connection.
The woman that played Ma June was Spooge's girl in Breaking Bad. (aka The Skank)
LOL happy to know we all had the "same" reaction @9:10 bc same
When in armor, Maximus' smile looks like Jim's in The Office XD
So it's called Filly because it's located inside an old landfill, hence the name Filly.
This is not a spoiler but CX-404 means Caine Experiment 404th attempt, without spoiling anything in the show the Enclave likes to experiment on people and creatures, the doctor took a lab animal as a pet, when the other guy caught him he was reporting him for “stealing” the dog.
It wasn't mentioned in the show, but I believe the Enclave is the remnants of the US Government.
1:24 Suraj’s reaction to Ben Linus from Lost was perfect, I hope someday they react to Person Of Interest.
“Mansplaining” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
2:55 Did not expect a Black Dynamite reference 😂😂😂 "I threw that shit before i walked in the room"
The gun he used to kill a bear was actually a 10 mm the best bear gun
Does the enclave scientist know what’s happening in all the vaults?
19:11 You know homie had that Tevin Cambell playing 😅
3:00 No longer will fiendish Dr Wu practice his Kungfu Treachery!😂
So the cheese man from Buffy The Vampire went to work for the Enclave in his senior years.
Marketa: that was a cockaroach? Micky: actually it's a rad roach 🤓
I just cant man. I've tried watching these dues react to content but my goodness. They just talk through-out the ENTIRE reaction providing absolutely NOTHING that enhance the experience. It may be because there are 5 people all talking at the same time, but there are so many other reaction channels that do it better.
3:10 random half life siren sound makes it's appearance!
Id say in fallout lore the Ghoul uses VATS and has a legendary unmodified hunting rifle. Shirt barrel. Short stock. Either dismembering or explosive legendary action.
definitely has the bloody mess perk too😂
Always assumed Vats was a pipboy app. Think he's just a really good shot.
I have a theory that the target guy hacked the turret system and messed with its accuracy. that would be a very fallout thing for a scientist to do
The so called “Fallout Boys" doesn't seem to know what Enclave is lul.
Its ok, suraj, i got that chapelle/prince reference 😎
Couldn't find this episode in videos, visible only in fallout playlist (
I just want you to know, I sang along with them at the end lmao.
Yea dudes, take it from us fallout fans, low level turrets ARE indeed that shit lmao. Show is really true to the games lol
"its like post apocalyptic red dead" Just wait till you find out about Fallout New Vegas
Why is it unlisted? Just wondering.
I guessed the same thing about the chicken and my husband looks at me and says that is demented they wouldn’t 😂. It is Fallout 🤷🏽♀️
With that mustache Micky looks like Super Mario. LOL
7:01 Yeah it's Yao Guy - cool dude, if not for his temper
In Fallout 4 you can upgrade PA's with a jump pack.
