@midnight season 4 episode 115, titled "Wed, May 25, 2016," is another riveting episode of the popular game show, hosted by Chris Hardwick. In this episode, three hilarious comedians - Kevin Smith, Diedrich Bader, and Justin Long - go head-to-head in various rounds of internet-inspired games, including Hashtag Wars and Rapid Refresh.
The show kicks off with a lively round of Hashtag Wars, where the contestants riff on the hashtag #RuinALunch. Kevin Smith cleverly suggests concoctions like "Sloppy Jell-o" and "Shakshuka Surprise," while Justin Long hilariously recommends "Chimichagnus Soup" and "Filet-o-Pundit." Diedrich Bader wins this round, however, with his witty tweet about a new lunch item called the "Taco Toad."
Next up is Rapid Refresh, where the contestants try to answer various current event questions with humorous quips. Chris Hardwick also surprises them with oddball news items like a story about a man who had a "do not resuscitate" tattoo on his chest. All three comedians do their best to keep up with the rapid fire questions and keep the audience laughing.
The highlight of this episode is a round of Live Challenge, during which the contestants are instructed to come up with a B-movie plot to pitch to Hollywood. Kevin Smith starts off with a horror movie idea called "The Uranus Chronicles," which involves aliens taking over the world through people's butts. Diedrich Bader follows with his sci-fi flick "The Nova Express," about a space train that has to save the universe. Justin Long rounds out the round with a romantic comedy titled "Enough About Steve," which features him playing a character obsessed with a man named Steve.
Another exciting round of News Smash ensues, where Chris Hardwick mashes up two news stories and asks the contestants to guess the resulting pun. Kevin Smith uses his "Alter Ego" card to turn himself into his superhero character, Silent Bob, during this game. Diedrich Bader uses his "Nerd Grab Bag" card to answer the question. This creates a lot of excitement among the audience as they watch the contestants battling it out.
The show closes with a final round of Hashtag Wars, where the contestants are asked to come up with their own fictional brand name that best describes their personalities. Kevin Smith comes up with a hilarious name "KevKaboodle," which he defines as a "Chris Hardwick petting zoo." Justin Long uses his brand name to make a humorous dig at Kevin Smith when he calls himself "AngstyWhiteboy," while Diedrich Bader takes a more introspective route with his brand name "Insecurity Blanket."
Overall, @midnight season 4 episode 115 is a hilarious and entertaining episode, showcasing the comedic talents of three talented comedians. Fans of the show will enjoy watching the contestants play off each other in various games and share their humorous takes on trending topics.
