I'm Merobiba! - Drawfee Animated
Фильм және анимация
Hey all!
So weirdly, no one told me about this bit and the community seems to have missed this one, but I thought I'd animate this fun little niche underground Drawfee character called "Mer-row-bi-ba"? No but for real, never ask anything of me again :)
From the Drawfee Show's episode "Turning Medieval Words Into Art". Their full video's available here:

the changes on nathans face at about 1:25 over the course of Merobiba getting dark is SO funny. Just casual turn of anger to shock to concern.

Add Merobiba to smash, Nintendo. Stop being cowards and add Todd and Merobiba
I watched Drawfee since they were on college humor and I can say with absolute certainty that Merobiba is the absolute best thing that ever happened. I still drop an "I'm merobiba" when someone is confused by what I'm doing, which leads to more confusion and a "Oh merobiba you've done it again." Drawfee is such a warm happy place for me. Everything can get sad and dark and hopeless but then I remind myself that I too, am Merobiba.
Julia and Jacob has such great couple energy with this bit. Julia just got HOOKED on it and Jacob was so there for it. xD
Nathan on crutches is so good, he suffered so much during that bit.

I don't think there is any other one where the drawing hangs out as an extrea comady relief character. I love how they keep lifting her up and she keeps blinking with her eyes slightly out of sync like a chameleon.
On this rewatch I noticed the way Jacob moves in his Merobiba impression at 1:03 and it got me good
I think the audience knew Merobiba was a hit immediately, so Nathan did get a banger episode after all
My god, from top to bottom a banger. Faded Julia in the mountains, the eyes, Nathan's face throughout, the EYES, seltzer injuries, the hospital tv, THE EYES.

I've never been more excited for a DBI animation to exist than when I first encountered Merobiba
I'm so glad you included Jacob's existentialist Mewobiba, I was worried you'd get stuck over Julia's LUDICROUS ideas and miss this sudden shift into the dawk cownews of Mewobiba's heawt. But I shouldn't have doubted you for a second, you once again exceeded all of my expectations!
It's really funny how much Nathan is just not having this bit and how much joy it's bringing Julia
I can already tell this is going to be a banger and i'm going to rewatch this so many times over. In DeepBlue we trust 😌
I love the "archery contest" zooming in JUST ENOUGH to get the target in focus but not the dead guy behind it, true cinematography.
omg, SELTZER INJURY sign in the hospital at 1:18 🤣
As much as Julia seemed to think this joke was terrible, it was one of my favorite Drawfee bits of the past six months.

This is, no joke, the most I’ve ever thought about Brave. And I was at the premier.

The way the cadence you gave Jacob perfectly embodies the way he pronounces "when she says I'm merobiba."

i will forever have “counterpoint: merobiba” as one if my favorite phrases to come from this show
I’m honestly surprised Drawfee hasn’t just incorporated DBI into their group yet. He’s basically their official animator lol
I love your visual gags, they're always so funny 1:10
Nathan looking directly into my soul when he asks, "Is anyone still watching this?" The uneven blinking from Merobiba and the "certified bangers" in the tv in the background. There is so much packed into the video! How did this get done in less than a week?! Merobiba, you've done it again.
Julia being absolutely unruffled by the bear attack😂
I can only speak for myself, but his Merobiba animation is what got me into your animations and subsequently Drawfee, so ..... yeah, Merobiba turned out to be a banger!

I think most people have already mentioned most of the easter eggs(Julia's engagement ring, "Seltzer Injuries", the body behind the archery range) but I love that Brave was playing on the TV in the hospital for a second and Julia being "in" the wind is great
I knew it. I knew you would make me double over with the velocity at which you made this. It's simply incredible. I'm Merobiba!
I just love how perfectly you captured how over it Nathan was halfway through the bit lol
I didn't expect that meroiba having a drunken existential crisis would hit me the way that it did. Great storytelling and character arc. Would merobiba again 10/10
So many amazing details like Julia fading into the sky as she laughs, the uneven blinking, the engagement ring matching Julia's, the hospital department for seltzer injuries, the previous "banger episodes" in the background, and so many others. Even the captions add to this absolute perfection!
I watched the drawfee episode IN PREPARATION for this animation and somehow still I forgot that Nathan was having NONE of this joke. Wow. What a beautiful reminder of a truly beautiful moment.
I need this knowledge to reach drawfee: I showed this video to my dad who very soon after started singing Merobiba to an Enya song and it felt like such a drawfee thing. I was very proud.
This is beautiful. The off tempo blinking is perfect. They also did it in toy story but I love merobiba more. Keep up the amazing work Drawfee and Deepblueink.
I loved this so much, just the way you animated Merobiba was perfect and the cut from the grumpiest bear possible to everyone in the hospital with wounds was excellent. Amazing work and I'm Merobiba
It was so cool to see “DrawfeeShow: The people loved Merobiba.” in the live chat during the premier!!! Way to go DeepBlueInk!
I can’t help but feel sad for Marabiba, a character slowly drifting away, trying to cling onto the slither of herself that remains.
Ive been looking forward to this animation the moment I first saw Merobiba
Oh my god. The unsynchronized blinking and the Merobiba eyes on the mug!!! This whole thing is so hilarious and wonderful! This is a triumph. And how fast you got this out is insane! WE ARE MEROBIBA!
I too often think about the enormity of Julia's actions and all the pain and suffering shes brought to the Nathan closest to her. I'm Merobiba.
I find more and more details that justs adds to the humor. The guy dead in the background behind the target. Beautiful!
The eyes looking down and up at different times because Merobiba is so derp is an excellent and also disconcerting bit.
DBI continues to dispway an impwessive command of his medium, ewevating evewy scene with an attention to detail and sowid diwectowial vision. To say nothing of the stunning pace of his pwoduction! Twuly, he is among the most undewwated KZread animators. I'm Merobiba.

Nice touch using Julia’s actual wedding ring for Merobiba’s.
I love the “seltzer injuries” sign in the hospital background. It’s these tiny little references that keep showing up that make your animations so wonderful.
The Merobiba bit turned my brain chemistry around when I was having a really bad time, and I’m so happy to see it again in an animation. You captured the vibe perfectly.
when this happened in the original video i knew i wanted you to animate it. absolutely not disappointed. your interpretation of it is perfect.
The asynchronous blinking was just one of the many things that makes me go, "what the why and how does he what?" Just perfection and why I'm a patron and I keep coming back.
This went from funny to so depressing, and then funny again, and the whiplash had HIT me
This is great, I'm so glad to see Merobiba's reach she deserves it.
The fact that this particular episode hit people in the right place proves that the Drawfee crew just needs to relax and be themselves to make a banger.
Now we need MBMBAM's "I am Amelie" animated so that we can compare and contrast the two.
