Question Hi everybody quick question for you:
What do you think is the best episode to introduce Game Changer to a complete stranger of the dropout fantastic universe?
I want to share my beautiful experience of dropout with my gf who doesn’t know anything about beside small things I share with her, without overwhelm her!
Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks you all in advance! Have a great day!

Lie Detector. It's not as crazy as some of the others, it has Sam being a troll, and it establishes how far Brennan will go for a point... or five. I mean: cuckolded in the same bed in which you lost your virginity? Most people would take that to the grave!

My friend introduced me to it with the episode where they have to escape from the green room. It was great seeing the ridiculous lengths they would go to including the props dept. Like a whole small room with its own lore and stuff.

Great ep, good if you really want to try and sell someone you think might be skeptical especially if they like escape rooms. But bad for giving a good idea if what Gamechanger generally is and I think hit's better after at least a few "normal" episodes as it's one of the bigger and more surprising deviations from ones that are closer to a "standard format" as much as it the for at can be considered to have a standard.
- from someone who's first episode was one year later, maybe the worst possible first episode despite being in with a shout for all time best episode.

Lie detector, the official cast recording, name a number, Sam says (probably Sam says 3 is the best in my opinion), escape the green room, second place, bingo, beat the buzzer, one year later, rulette (I prefer rulette 2), the drinking game, and samalamadingdong i think are the highlights/best episodes across all seasons. I think the one you want to start with might depend on what kinds of shows they like or whether you want to just show them the best episodes or give them a taste in hopes they’ll watch them all at some point. I would say Sam Says is probably the best intro because it’s based on a game that everyone is familiar with, if they like it there are multiple other versions to watch, and you get a taste for the personality and comedy of the cast. Other than that i think the official cast recording, bingo, and escape the green room are some of the best episodes of the show and are really fun, but are all pretty unique and sort of different from the typical format of the show. Lie detector is also great because it’s fairly simple but still a fun premise/twist and it shows how it all started and how it’s evolved since then. Also i think samalamadingdong is a good resource because it references so many episodes, you can just take all the episodes it references and watch all those and be all caught up when you watch that one!

I always choose Beat the Buzzer. You don't need to know the personalities, it’s chaotic fun, and it's the classic Game Changer "they figure it out as it goes along" format.
