I’m genuinely disappointed that the beginning didn’t start with Justin singing “Send in the Clowns”

Its because they're already here

Last year, for the first time in our lives, my family ate at a sports bar. We live in Texas. There was a live football game playing on the TV. Dallas Cowboys vs. Somebody. Seeing this as our chance to share enthusiasm with our fellow Texans, we all yelled, "TOUCHDOWWWWN!" when the guy with the ball did the thing. Everyone else in the bar was silent. I think we cheered for the wrong team 😂

Omg Dollightful! What a happy surprise to see you here. Didn't you you were a fellow fan of MBMBAM.

"You want some of my dog in you?" idk how to feel about this line but first impression is that I absolutely love it.

'Anorak' also means 'nerd/geek', so Sports Anorak of the Year = Sports Nerd of the Year (ello chums from the UK innit)

The part where Griffin says the football field should be ten thousand yards long gave me a flashback to a fanfic I read that was a crossover between MBMBAM and 17776: What Football Will Look Like In The Future, where humans are immortal and completely unable to feel pain, and the entire surface of Earth is used as one giant football field where the 3 McElboys have been resurrected as AI satellites who watch over it all and do commentary.

Thank you for writing this comment and informing me of the work of art that is 17776.

I personally think I would have loved a 700 club bit

Accidentally getting trapped in a joke routine by someone who frequents your life is such an unreasonably stressful thing. Same energy as missing your exit on the highway. I work as a cashier in a grocery store, and multiple customers have me trapped in them at this point and there is no escape. I think I wouldn't mind it if I weren't at work, I guess, but I am very much a captive audience at work, yknow?

There is a real show called My Dad’s the Prime Minister, so Justin was really channeling something there!

Wow...Altoid sours hit me hard. The tangerine were the best too. Dang. 😂

Shit I totally forgot about those Altoids Sours! The tangerine ones were indeed amazing, I dearly hope Fungalore deigns in his infinite wisdom and mercy to grant that one!!

omg we’ve made it to 700!!! all hail 🍄🎉

I can't believe Justin didn't mention 8/10 Cats Does Countdown.

17:48 ah a new McElroy "yes and" variant, the "I will 'yes and' me for you"

My favorite Chinese restaurant will often ask me "one order or two?" When I order potstickers. That wasn't a thing for a long time when I ordered, but after I ordered two a couple of times, it's now what they ask me. Every. Single. Time.

Griffin got so close to just inventing Secret Base’s 17776 again.

I hope to god Griffin doesn't have Apple TV so Justin can hit him with "The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin" next time.

That grocery store scene reminds me a lot of the 'reset' from Curb your Enthusiasm. Like I regret visiting a place enough that the teller is comfy enough to exchange a greeting or conversation. Like I don't want this, it takes time, we don't need this courtesy, stop. I'll have to drive for 5 more minutes now to avoid this conversation stop please leave me and my family alone HELP

They should start counting back down

At my old job the janitor type guy was super friendly and I would always stop and chat on my way to work. He thought I liked fishing because I guess I look like the type of dude who would be into fishing so I leaned into it and just pretended to like fishing.

I need to clarify as an English person: I have never heard of most of the shows* from Justin’s game, so I think most have got to be older ones from like the 70’s or had a super short shelf life. *EXCEPT ‘Allo ‘Allo, Vicar of Dibley and Dad’s Army which are all daytime tv sitcoms. Anyway all three of those are ones my 65 y/o mum enjoys so there you go lol

I was introduced to Altoids through tangerine sours… IMAGINE MY DISAPPOINTMENT

Alright Boys, let’s see what you got

Oh good, they made the same Olivia Newton-John joke that I had in my brain during their ad read.

the candy store that runs the channel Lofty Pursuits sells a “dusted sour” candy meant to evoke the altoid sours vibe - i know they do tangerine and blue raspberry flavors, they might have expanded to other flavors since i last checked.

I would wear a shirt that said one man/ one woman pickleball so fast

so we are not sending the clowns in this one?!

I would appreciate a 700 Club riff track from y'all Brothers😂

As a houstonian I gotta say Jason's deli every day is a sickness get that guy some help

you ever hear a bit and think "this would make an excellent DeepBlueInk animation? 53:15

The great 700

THAT'S MY WISH TOO 😮

I wouldve loved a 700 club bit. I feel like people with varying degrees of religious trauma is sort of a major piece of the audience.

God i miss altoid sours

trav nation will never fall 💛

I wonder who will be the first to die. Will I go before the dog in me?

TRAV NATION WILL NEVER DIE

TRAV NATION FOREVER

hey I just want to shout out whoever's wish that was, because I was literally talking about altoid sours just yesterday and I am spider man pointing at you

"the british wb" the vwb surely

Why are there live action adaptations of anything? When was it decided that animation is just sort of a cheapo, 'first draft' medium? What is it about the Disney film and Japanese anime live action versions that makes the case that this is an Upgrade?

I admit I haven't listened yet so I don't have the context for this comment, so feel free to totally ignore it if I'm asking something that the episode answers, but... does anyone consider the live action versions of shows/movies that started out as animes an 'upgrade' from the original? XD

(in writing this I think I just realised the answer to my own question. The film execs do, because it means they can make money off them without having to do any of the creative legwork in commissioning or seeking out an idea that may or may not be popular, since they can just pick something that was popular already as an animated feature.) Capitalism strikes again. :c

@@Jeevesie1988 true, although people seem unreasonably excited for, say, the new live action Last Airbender. LA is pretty widely agreed to be a *perfect* cartoon (and which was already disastrously adapted for live action once). So who actually wanted this? Were there a slice of people who really loved the joyless, song-less, China-approved, grimdark "Mulan" (for $30 extra on Disney+)?

In order to cope with live action things, I’ve started to think of them as just “the current stage production,” like people are just excited to see the cast, and then it will fade into relative obscurity. Just like famous plays and musicals come back around and celebrities get a chance to be in them, live action versions are just like a momentary fancasting taken a bit too far. And thus I can comprehend them and go on with life, despite original animation being objectively superior 99.99% of the time.

genuinely very funny to me that justin is gunning so hard for avatar which is by all counts extremely milquetoast

am i wrong or did they mess up the deli question?? i thought the question asker was saying that they were being forced to eat the same lunch every day because their coworker keeps choosing what's for lunch. but the brothers assumed that they were just worried about their coworker eating the same lunch every day

The boys weren’t making a fat joke, they were making a joke about how backward and fucked up Britain is that they’d make a show about that. Just the same as the Minstrel Show bit. They sure as fuck weren’t making racist jokes, they were joking about how Britain sucks for doing that show at all.
