A CREW!!!! A CREW!!!! A CREW!!!! A CREW!!!! A CREW!!!! A CREW!!!! A CREW!!!!

000

But like, look at Q, it's so damn Quool

What’s the song at 9:16

You removed a legitimate strat of x crew so I think they won

This is like someone writing an epic story about two people rolling dice.

YGO

Kael and Lyra were two souls adrift in a sea of uncertainty, wandering through a world that seemed to offer them no answers. They were lost, searching for meaning in a meaningless existence. And then, they met the old sage. He appeared before them, a beacon of hope in a world of darkness. In his hand, he held two ancient dice, their sides etched with mysterious symbols. "Roll these dice," he said, his voice resounding like a trumpet call. "Roll them, and discover the truth of your existence." Kael and Lyra felt a shiver run down their spines. They took the dice, their hands shaking with a mix of fear and excitement. And then, they rolled. The dice tumbled across the ground, their movement seeming to echo throughout the entire world. And as they came to a stop, Kael and Lyra felt their hearts skip a beat. The symbols on the dice were unchanged, revealing nothing about the truth of their existence. But the sage was not discouraged. He simply smiled, as if he had expected this outcome all along. "The dice may not provide you with the answers you seek," he said, his voice echoing with wisdom, and carried on his merry way Kael and Lyra stared at the sage in awe, realizing that he may be wise, but also has lost his mind to his age. Ok cut the epic talk. Senile. The sage was senile, that’s it. The end.

That’s called D&D

We call that a dnd campaign

@UmbraSo DnD.

The ending was unironically beautiful. A crew giving style and Z crew keeping them alive was amazing.

It feels like some move about two souls controlling one body one is an extrovert that likes adventure the other one an introvert keeping them alive. I love it

Ahh yes perfect harmony

im actually laughing uncontrollably at the ending watching Michael dolphin dive perfectly synced with the jazz was just comedy gold. thank you for the content, team alphabet, and thank you, dougdoug.

It was beautiful

The dolphin part had me laughing uncontrollably as well lmao, was genuinely top tier content

@NerdStrikesBack Thamks

@Xander Blue Line from Gran Turismo

@Kat Turrie No really 😂😂 like wtf

Chat dolphining into the sunset absolutely made me break down crying in laughter. Ah. Truly beautiful. Unity.

I will watch that so many time

I love how childish each team is. A crew won the actual tournament and out of cockyness let Z crew have a chance at winning through a double or nothing. Z crew wins the double or nothing out of luck and the majority of Z crew tries to take that win and leave. After someone asks for a quadruple or nothing Z crew is now a little cocky cause of their win and accepts only to lose meaning A crew wins indefinitely. and by the end of it everyone is screaming in chat on who deserves the win.

@Hot Dog bro is mad about a luck based competition

@Ian Johnson yet again some dude ignoring everyone else and only replying to me. However this one is salty unlike the cool guy who came before him. You are the one losing dignity right now, if you ever had one.

@Anderis you lose all dignity when you “go down to their level”

@Msihcs I agree, was just going down to his level to show him, but why only reply to me lol

@Anderis In the end A crew AND Z crew won, Alphabet crew for life man

I love how when Twitch Chat is "Twitch Chat" they can't cooperate at all, but when they are "Team Alphabet" they are gods at coordination.

@Gonk Droid Classic A team member, being over confident in their abilities.

@Harry Pootis Okay, A-lien. Because my real name pay respect to the Z side

because when they're put against eachother, they're forced to compete amongst themselves so they wanna do well. When they're put against Doug, they just wanna throw themselves either to make Doug win or to fight the other part of the chat that actually wants to win, when they are divided, the become whole.

With unity, we can achieve greater things.

@Jacksil Jackson stream lag

That ending of them as a dolphin was literally S tier

I'm crying so hard, both of how touching and hilarious, this ending was Only on DougDoug I can cry from emotion and the funny at the same time

17:41 The freaking musical climax alongside the plane just gently setting back down on the ground is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a long time

The combined chaos and coordination of flashily landing into the safest area to stay for a perfect minute was absolutely beautiful

With z crews quadruple or nothing, I think some wanted to stay on the ground and others didn't, leading to the motion seen.

Why is this making me so close from crying, this is probably Doug's most emotional video/stream ever

Twich chat should play a dating sim

I love how Alphabet Crew mixes the qualities of both crews. At the first moment, they show how flashy they are and at the end they play with strategy to keep everyone alive.

The fact they somehow coordinated the dolphin diving is just hilarious

i have literally no clue HOW they did that,the teamwork was so great

It's almost poetic. Outside the water, flourishing their wings in the glorious sun is A crew. And underneath the water, keeping their heads down and getting on with it through the rough is Z crew. And together, and only together, can they dolphin their way into the sunset. It's beautiful

@Water Me Loan 64 yccycdv😅zgxf go gggyyvgy

It was buitiful

Yeh

How to evade justice: Step 1: crash into a wall Step 2: there is no step 2

I love the idea that doug thinks Guy Fieri was more reputable than Gordon Ramsey at some point

It’s funny how Michael is the most conflicted character in the game but A and Z crew found peace through him 😂

How does DougDoug keep doing this? Some of the funniest, troll-heavy, but also heartwarming and wholesome content on Youtube! I couldn't stop laughing and enjoying that dolphin ending xD Brilliant!!!

This man has a talent for getting me VERY emotionally invested in some of the dumbest shit.

@Mr. Merfington i mean, based on your name, that IS your team, right? Or maybe not idk lok

agree

i was absolutely furious when z team lost the quadruple or nothing and then i realized the same thing

He really is good at it I mean I was super happy when A won the first time and got pissed when they lost the GTA part and then I was super happy when A team won the triple or nothing part

@Mr. Merfington I was for A crew eventough, I'm normaly for the people, who win through safety.

The ending warmed my heart with the dolphin movement and the entire video left me laughing and angry, truly a team that will take long to be forgotten.

absolutely amazing

the way team alphabet made Michael jump up and down through the ocean towards the sunset like a dolphin was cinematically beautiful

The ending was amazing! It was so poetic that the alphabet crew won with A crew's flashy moves and z crew's calculated plays.

Yeah

Can a YouTube video win an Oscar?

no

@SSG again I really hope so

I really hope so

Yea JonTron did

This sets the president they should

The ending was a total twist and not what I was expecting, I've never watched a more heart wrenching YouTube video. Great shit DougDoug, keep making the great content yes, I am 18 months late on this video, I found DougDoug yesterday lmfao EDIT WAIT HE SAID MERRY CHRISTMAS IT'S CHRISTMAS WAT

It was the honourable thing to do for Z-Crew to return the offer, after it was given to them prior by A-Crew. Omg team Alphabet, that was fucking beautiful. The plane dive and then it wooshes up into the air. The sinking and lasting just over a minute. The miraculous dolphin-diving into the sunset, how the fuck did chat even do that.

I loved it. 10/10 writing and storytelling. Also, all the references, damn. I especially loved the ending as they swim through the sea like a dolphin. Twitch chat outdid themselves. Bravo!

Never thought I’d actually be genuinely happy in a sense of like “That was nice” from a GTA V video

That ending flying to the sunset jumping in and out of the water is so majestic

It was flashy because they entered the water because they didn’t have to but precise because they navigated in a perfect pattern.

@Jake River yes indeed

I was dying from laugher while also sobbing from how beautiful and combine that with the tears of laughter created even more ocean so they can continue diving and jumping out of the water forever without end

thanks madara.

I'm awarding this video as THE BEST video I've watched in 2022 the competition, the personalities, the cooking references, the happy ending... not even the best director could think of such an emotional story

0:12 *gasp* MY NAME STARTS WITH Q! Doug Doug does that mean I’m cool?

I was straight crying because of the ending, as someone whose name contains both sides of the alphabet I am more than happy to watch team alphabet dolphin dive in harmony.

I love how A crew swerves and dodges, and Z crew just runs into a wall.

The fact that both of the teams developed personalities is absolutely perfect.

It's a hive mind.

A crew turned out to be suicidal at the stary

Z crew developed the personality if cheater.

And when they combine into Team Alphabet, their best traits merge to compliment each other. Beautiful example in human cooperation.

Oi we are magic

I can't believe I missed this, THIS WAS SO THRILLING TO WATCH. LOVED THE ENDING

I love how Z team's tactics ended up making them lose the quadruple or nothing in the end

Genuinely made me cry, what a beautiful story of community and teamwork

This video is truly a masterpiece. The premise of dividing the alphabet and letting the teams fight it out in a grand tournament, the consistency of the two play-styles throughout the tournament, the rising stakes with every game, the tension, the drama and finally the realization that only in unity all strengths can be combined. Amazing how it all went down and also an amazing way to present it in a video.

Expecting the plane to nosedive and watching it swoop up perfectly encapsulates the beauty of both sides putting all of their greatest strengths together for the incredible and eye-watering glory of $50

Amazing storytelling, wonderful humour, epic adventure

0:00-1:29 Intro and explanation 1:30-5:00 Super Smash Bros 1-0 (Z Crew victory) 5:01-7:24 Mario Kart 1-1 (A Crew Victory) 7:25-9:50 Super Mario Bros 2-1 (A Crew Victory) 9:51-10:58 Tetris 3-1 (A Crew Victory) 10:59-12:08 A Crew chooses to do Double/All or nothing 12:09-18:12 GTA V 1-0 (Z Crew Victory) 18:14-19:26 Z Crew chooses to do Quadruple Or Nothing 19:27-21:22 1-0 (A Crew Victory) 21:23-23:11 Team Alphabet is formed 23:12-24:28 Team Alphabet takes to the skies 24:29-26:02 Team Alphabet flies off into the sunset 26:08 End.

The ending just made it feel like the story unfolded in a cinematic masterpiece.

DougDoug is putting out the best damn content of his life.

Yes everything is so good! And it just keeps getting better. His stuff is shockingly well written and executed

I mean team a

Team z is pogers

I also watched this 7 months ago & I still remembered this comment. Because it's fucking true. Carl is such a lovable guy.

Fuggin a!

michael swimming through the water so gracefully and dolphin diving into the horizon was a perfect ending.

Absolutely stunning, I was rooting for Z team the whole time when I should've known that if they had come together, anything could be accomplished. Gordon Fieri will always win.

those gifted subs really make it aswell

This man is phenomenal at story telling

Doug is the only channel to start a video with: "I've always wondered which half of the alphabet was better"

And end it with twitch chat being wholesome lmao

Placeholder actually, “hey this is dougdoug where we solve problems that no one has”. Lol

But he started this video with "Welcome to DougDoug where we solve problems nobody has"

And the only man to have this epic of a voice, seriously i could listen to this man all day.....no homo

G L O U D A S IS HIS NAME YOU INBRED

I've never gotten so emotionally invested into something so dumb as this, legit shed a single tear of joy at the end

The fact it wasn't scripted but both crews still got wins they could be proud of is amazing. A Crew won the overall game but Z Crew won the all or nothing. Both teams get to walk away with a win :] The quadruple or nothing doesn't count. I'm not biased tho

This was genuinely one of the most entertaining videos I’ve ever watched on YouTube 😂

I think I know what Z Team did. When they said "quadruple or nothing," and died in the first 5 seconds, they didn't want to win. No, they felt that it wasn't about winning. It was about the effort they put in. They wanted A Crew to win. Congrats, A Crew and Z Crew.

I love how the reason they won the final challenge was because of their combined traits. Only the Z team would think going into the lake is a good strategy, but only the A team would have the guts to actually do it.

it required Z crew's Intelligence,but A crew's nerves of steel to pull it off

Dude

Dude...

Dude

Dude

Ok, so when Twitch chat does anything, it's basically a giant rollercoaster of chaos. Makes sense!

That was beautiful. Amazing content and ideas! Well done :D Loved seeing everyone coming together in the end.

I legit shed a tear while watching the ending with a smile on my face. Goddamn it's beautiful

This is single handedly, one of the best videos, I've ever seen. Thank you Guy Fieri and Gordon Ramsay...

Dude, maybe it’s just the Quarantine, but I’m actually crying at the end. This is one of the best videos I’ve seen in years.

Same

I agree

Well said.

You’re not alone my boy

I was fucking there bro. I participated to all of this. And that was one of the only times I was so proud of myself.

25:51 if you ignore the name it almost sounds like a short tale of 2 gods, forever entertained, traveling off across the world and into the sun for reasons we can not understand, but admire in their grace

This is one of my favourite videos. I'm so delighted every time I watch it.

Doug getting genuinely choked up about the little dive at the end 🤣 what wholesome content. 10/10

Holy... once again I've watched a creative invention of an innovative genius... His chat interaction is over the moon. Everyone feels included and their presence actually has an impact.

"It's not about winning, it's about quadrupling it" -Z Crew

A crew still won

@LuckyDucky nah def about quadrupling it

@Badass Toad That is basically like Smash Ultimate, If the A crew won alone Z crew would be furious. However if Z crew won A crew would be furious as well. But if they both win together as one, no one is mad and everyone wins. (Also I'm well aware that this would be the opposite of Smash Ultimate but still.) Essentially yes this is the True Ending.

''its not about being good, its about looking flashy'' -A Crew

A and Z Crew: It’s not about Winning. It’s about peace. *True Ending Achieved*

Can we appreciate that Fieri actually belongs to A crew and Ramsey actually belongs to Z Crew

This video just... unironically warms my heart. Being united brought them true victory. It's a lovely feeling...

It brings a tear to my eye to see enemies join as one.

This was a beautiful experience and I wish I could've been a part of it

It’s amazing how an actual valuable lesson about teamwork and setting aside differences just organically happened here. I love it

That's some spoil to the video

@Blurple i do but you didn't stop anything you just didnt finish a argument you started

@Big boss You really don't know the definition of stop don't you.

@Blurple ages ago is a pretty fucking dumb use of hyperbole considering you typed it 3 days ago

@Blurple you didnt stop anything.

watching this really made me realize how much twitch chat has improved over the years

This is probably one of the best videos I have ever watched in my life. The story, the playing, the plot twists, the teamwork, and the music are just perfect. Thank you for making this.

9:30 I love how he puts the dramatic music in acting like Z crew was about to do something amazing then they just die to the first goomba again.

I think it was specifically Z crew's conservative strategy which caused them to lose that last competition. Since they had won the first airplane challenge by just taxiing on the runway, at least a portion of Z crew wanted to keep the airplane from lifting off again, and so they immediately pushed the nose of the plane back down.

I don't know how, but DougDoug managed to make an emotional story about Gordon Ramsey, Guy Fieri, and the alphabet, and I feel like this is the ONLY channel where that would be possible

It's so fucking absurd literally no where else

Holy shiz

i nearly cried man

Ttue

What’s the song that plays during the final part of the video? Like the saxophone part?

Whenever I feel bad or upset, i come back to this video to cheer up. It's so funny and sincere

I genuinly nearly cried this was one of the most emotional videos ive ever seen i am going to cry for the rest of my life

Damn, the ending hit harder than I expected... I almost cryied.

That was the most amazing, beautiful way this could’ve ended I love it

This restores my faith in humanity for real. They gave each team a personality and at the end enacted every stereotypically beautiful thing ever. This really brings people together. Thank you.

Dark souls humanity restored appears

same bro

@clickity clackity THE BEST ALPHABET OF OUR LIVES

Its just the alphabet

Wholesomeness at its finest.

I did not think I'd find this as entertaining as I did. I expected chaos, but I got perfect harmony. Great video :)

This video is so emotional it made me cry only if the rest of the world was like this we can all be in a peaceful humanity in a Bob Ross world

this is one of the best YouTube videos ive seen. in the words of IGN, it has a little something for everyone. 10/10

Absolutely majestic ending. What a story Mark!

A-crew: dies in 8 seconds, giving a free win to Z-crew Z-crew : I'm about to do what's called a pro-gamer move

@Jeremiah Layne you do know you needed to try 4 times to win

@anyom-rydir a crew means amogus crew

Yeah it’s all the idiot noobs who like ruining shit and fucked up everything

@Cheezcarrot team a is the best

@Jeremiah Layne no its because 6 year olds think its funny to spam "look down"

I was crying at this The fact that they combined was just so nice

I've watched a fair few Doug Doug vids after discovering him recently, and catch the stream every so often, but keep coming back to this video every so often for the absolutely stellar jazz at the end.

This perfectly lines up with chat later marrying themselves, truly magnificient, makes me wanna cry.

I love how the Game just freaked the fuck out and just made the character go flying And then chat just went with it started doing dolphin dives that was absolutely the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a while but I won’t lie the first time I watched it had me crying

I loved the moment when the alphabet crew dodged the mountain at the last second with the flashieness of the a crew and the precision of the z crew combined

Pure work of art.

@Jolokko and that’s okay

Its enough to make a grown man cry

I AM THE 1k LIKE POG

*Nods in A team Acknowledgement* Indeed..it was a sight to see

I love how some people from z crew are saying LETS GO in the chat when they ran into a wall and got stuck, even though it seemed like they lost.

this is no longer a mere youtube video, this is a cinematic masterpiece

Doug is the definition of a Twitch Entertainer.

19:32 was the point I was choking on my sip of pop because I couldn’t stop laughing. A-crew looked so promising on the takeoff and then just kamikaze straight into the damn ground

This is why I love DougDoug. No one does stuff as crazy as this.

If you want another streamer who does crazy stuff with his chat sometimes. I recommend Jerma985 (stream comps on "2ndJerma")

@o *alphabet power simp

Z POWER URA

Beautiful. Absolute masterpiece. I'm crying my eyes out now.

I legit died when they were able to coordinate the dolphin dive

This is still one of my favourite dugdog videos ever

This was so much fun! People were at discord calls and its just so crazy

This tear jerking film has everything one needs. Conflict, climax and a beautiful resolution. 10/10 - Would watch again

This is my third time watching and its as wonderful as ever, wish i could forget it to watch it for the first time again

I can't tell if this is a joke or not because this comment is 100% true

I already have

I agree. The third arc was just amazing.

Agreed
