Um, Actually is a geek-based game show created and hosted by College Humor employee, Mike Trapp. The game requires out-of-the-box problem solving as each round, the contestants are provided with an incorrect statement concerning “the things you know and love”, and are required to state what is incorrect for a single point.
Three contestants compete in each episode, all attempting to win bragging rights and a feeling of superiority by correctly correcting incorrect statements.
There are only two rules; all of the corrections must be preceded by the phrase “Um, Actually...” and you can interrupt the statement at any time. If you don’t precede the correction with “Um, Actually...”, you lose the point and someone else can buzz in to steal the point.
Shiny Question
The initial two episodes of Um, Actually uploaded to the CollegeHumor’s YouTube Channel didn’t have any shiny Questions. When Um, Actually returned two years later in 2017, the episodes each had one Shiny Question. Since the episodes became longer and moved partially to DROPOUT in 2019 for its second season, each episode has three Shiny Questions. Each Shiny Question is, as promised, just slightly different than the other questions, usually involving a multi-media approach as opposed to the straightforward text paragraph. Sometimes shiny questions can also be broken up into several, smaller rounds in which the oponent who gets the most correct will win the point. If it’s a tie, both contestants gain a point.
All of the props in the background have an element that is non canonical or just wrong.
-The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Raphael sai is displayed with the blue mask, but he wears red in the Cartoon and Movies. (Yes, not in the original Eastman and Laird comics.)
-Back to the Future's shoes were Nike branded not Adidas.
-Thor's hammer does not usually have a claw end.
-Star Trek's Spock's "Live well and prosper" hand the spacing is between the middle and ring finger not is not between the pointer and middle finger.
- The olive ammo box Alien/Alien's company is Weylan-Yutani... the logo is upside down.
