My favorite part of this whole bit is that Nathan thought it sucked but the audience ate it up and continues it on.

Merobiba was my introduction to Drawfee, and now I’m a huge fan. This truly was the banger episode they needed!

the talk show format is perfect because the laugh track + nathan’s absolute lack of amusement + all the drawfs in suits is just so great

Nathan's Banger came true

Fan fact that you should notice FNO: Nathan was annoyed by Julia's bit at first, but is now quoting and impressioning and meming Merobiba Every god damn live and is absolutely on with the joke, and generally just dieing of laughter everytime someone says "I'm Merobiba". The man learned to appreciate this stupidly hilarious bit and it's the best arc ever.

Same here… thanks to Nathan’s Big Boss Man épisode. I was so impressed (and terrified!) that I subscribed right away. Now I’m binging on more animations. Loving it!

Not only the animation and the style are AMAZING as usual. BUT THE CONCEPTS! God, you killed it, Nathan as the host, the program, and him calling on the phone booth looking like an angry NY psychoanalyst are so creative, I live.

The lipsyncs at 0:49 and 1:07 are so satisfying to me. Don't get me wrong, the entire animation was awesome with many silky smooth moments, but I just wanted to point to these two bits and say: "I like this :)"

Nathan giving Julia the side eye, while being "glad this makes YOU so happy, Julia.". 😘👌 Chef kiss!

Nathan going into the phone booth to talk with Julia is such a good interpretation. Like, I'm pretty sure there's not a single phone booth left in my city, but the shot of him opening the door with the snow swirling around him is such good storytelling. I know everything I need to know about this version of Nathan

I love how Julia managed to conjure a bit with the same spiritual energy as the gnome picture.

I will support any and all Merobiba based content

The expressive/aggressive way you animate, it's always funny, always entertaining. Love the Drawfee crew in suits for some reason. Is Nathan fully cognizant of just how much Merobiba has "taken off" at this point?

You've really outdone yourself!!! my fav is the bear audience it's so good!!!!!

The bear audiences and the end drawing look so nice.

Dang that big snow flake flowing so smoothly Ewen at a half slowed down

Imagine you had the budget for a whole cartoon show in this style, I would absolutely pay to see that. I can tell you put so much work and passion into creating this by going above and beyond with its visuals. Keep it up dude this is so epic!

i myself validate julia's bad jokes cause i'd be making those same stupid jokes if i was on drawfee

Tiny detail but the way the hair moves around 0:30 is really nice to look at Even when the character has stopped or is moving on less frames the hair just exudes so much energy

Why you so good? i also love the way the animation goes from almost still to fluid again at 2:23

@Kyplar

11 ай бұрын

ME TOO!!! Both the juxtaposition and just the lovingly crafted fluidity there was incredible

I LOVE Every Single Frame of this but the one where merobiba slowly turns is truly Cinematic to me

The moments where Julia just shrinks and floats in the air when she laughs gets me

I love julias absolute violations against gravity throughout the whole video

The full-body expressions get me every time. This was incredible! And the backgrounds were above and beyond, like you did not have to go this HARD with the snowy phone booth, the talkshow set, the whole end image?? the result was absolutely perfect, 11 out of 10, am about to replay

Your laughing animations always give me life.

This is my all-time favorite bit, and what you've done with it is a piece of art.

If only merobiba could watch this 😔. she’d say “I’m merobiba” or something like that. frfr.

Holy shit, you just keep pushing on - this one felt like it was on a new level, which is saying something since the summoning of Primordial Goof was so goshdarn cinematic, but the amount of places you managed to take this one, while still fitting in gorgeous character animation, *chefs kiss*

The funniest part is how Merobiba genuinely became the banger episode. Everybody fucking loves Merobiba

This drawfee bit is one of my absolute favorites and I'm so happy seeing the animations

i'm merobiba

I like the visual gag of someone sitting or standing, then when they start to laugh they turn into a lil guy floating in the air-- often rotating as if propelled in-place by their own laughter. It's as if laughing enough causes you to shrink in size and also become unaffected by gravity.

The bear audience was INCREDIBLE

for some reason I absolutely lost it at the visual of Nathan having to step out into a phonebooth to make his call to Julia

I’m pretty sure Julia was in fact floating in the air Mary Poppins “I love to Laugh” style when this bit happened

the julia expressions.... incredible

*Julia Drawfee:* "Plz show your support, I need validation for my jokes" *Drawfee Audience:* (gloms onto Merobiba so hard that the term "Merobiba" is BLOCKED IN DRAWFEE'S TWITCH CHAT TO THIS DAY) *Merobiba:* I'm Mewobiba!

This is amazing. HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU COLOR THE WHOLE THING THIS BEAUTIFULLY??? Also, I'll never get tired of how you draw. It's so expressive.

I love how Merobiba behaves on the talk show. She's perfect.

the sheer ammount of effort in this oh god i love this

okay so like obviously this is hilarious and amazing as always but holy shit arlo you have outdone yourself. these frames are genuinely beautiful like.... when the curtains opened to merobiba sitting in front of the flames my jaw actually dropped through the floor and i haven't been able to find it yet. stunning incredible spectacular etc etc 1000000/10 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I didn't really register how much Julia cackled during this bit until seeing her flop around in your animation.

the concept of nathan baring through the snow to get to a payphone to call julia just to tell her he wants a banger episode in the next record in 2023 is endlessly amusing to me

This animation is just phenomenal, you went ALL OUT. I love it so much. It captures the whack crazy drug trip that episode was and how not on board Nathan was about it. I love it. Bravo!

2:52 - I love this little bit!! There's so many distinct versions of Nathan in this SHORT little space of time! Tiny Head, jagged moustache, just x-eyed ded! Absolutely stoked that you'll be starting a Patreon and I'll be very stoked to join it when it opens!!

Its all so beautiful. And the internal lore of this animation that they're big wig execs???? Chef's kiss MWUAH

This is literally so good I'm subscribing. Fully incredible work

This is actual perfection I love this an unbelievable amount

!!!!!!! aaaa the setpieces! the color! the narrative! I love it all, I can tell you worked so hard on this one!!

The absolute joy this bit brought everyone is something that should be commended.

2:43 Oh my gosh Cold Nathan just makes my tiny heart go 🥺

ive seen the stunning ampunt of work you've put in in the community section and its paid off!! great job!

Your mind is just so heightened. And as I sit here animating my own thing, I see now that I will never matched your beautifully unhinged way of animating. Never would've thought of making someone's eyeballs just slide off their face. Very well done 😂

O feel sorry for the person who spent hours rendering Meridas hair because it means less than nothing to me than single imagine of this blob haired goddess named Merobiba

Nathan: I want a banger episode. Julia: Mewobiba, take it or leave it.

Late night talk-show host Nathan silently shaking with rage is very good

0:17 Julia just floating, lol And the fact that it just ends with both Merobiba and Nathan having an existential crisis, lol

Half the fun of Merobiba animations is what bits get latched onto and from the bear audience to how on the nose the bear witch is, there are some greats ones I haven't seen much of before.

I just wanted to let you know that this is not just my favourite out of all Merobiba Animations, but this has also become one of my favourite Videos of 2023 in general. The completely unhinged expressions you drew throughout this animation: Julia's and Jacob's enthusiasm, Merobiba as this weird little gremlin, all the bears and Nathan trying to cope with the situation at hand before breaking down after Julia mentions their talk before the episode - almost every single frame of this animation brings me happiness and laughter. So thanks for putting in the work and animating Merobiba in all her glory, I just can't help but rewatching this every couple of weeks. :)

I love your Nathan design! The mustache expressions are amazing!

One more reason why Drawfee is great: LOOK AT THIS FKN BONKERS DELIGHTFUL ANIMATION Y’ALL, we wouldn’t have anything to do with all those unique and talented but not very uniform or mainstream animators, bless the Drawfee crew for providing top tier high quality nonsense for animators who want to explore their creativity and test the limits of this medium

i am obsessed with how julia floats around in the background zero gravity at the beginning

This animation style is wild and in some parts it gets so satisfying to suddenly see smooth movement. It's trippy, I like it.

I’m Merobiba! (Translation: god I love your work. Your shapes, the acting, everything is so good! And you take the bits and make them so off-the-wall and chaotic, it’s perfect. I don’t mean to compare anyone to anyone else, but the energy you bring to the Drawfee community feels like a similar vibe to what Shoocharu brings to Game Grumps. God it’s just 🤌🤌🤌)

Everything about this is perfect and beautiful and needs all of the views immediately

Dude, this is the best version of this bit I've seen yet! Fantastic work as always.

The wait was worth it.😂 I love the animation style, is so expressive ❤

this might be weird but- I saw the notification after I got done showering and I immediately clicked because yk *duh* but I noticed that I wasn't giving it my full attention because I was gathering my towels and stuff so I got done in record speed, just so I could open this on my laptop and give it the attention it deserves. It was so much better than I thought like- you really didn't have to literally *paint* detailed backgrounds but you did anyway and (from artist to artist) that must've been an insane process and that takes incredible dedication and skill. Good job, man! I thought I would share that irl reaction I had because I'm not quite sure affirming words are enough to show how much I appreciate your work so I hope it doesn't come off as tmi or anything, your art is just very very good Idk how else to express it xcvbkxjvby

M-arlo-biba, you've done it again! That's the M-arlo-biba waay~

I love how you made Nathan the big boss man 😭😭

There has never been a more expressive character than Merobiba

So expressive, so explosive 🧨 "I'M MEROBIBA!" Honestly I love that you add the laugh track it finally came to life. Ty

I just want to watch nothing but Arlo Sterling animated Nathan laughter for the rest of the day.

I love the part both in this and on drawfee where Nathan is like 'is anyone still watching?' LIKE NOT ONLY AM I WATCHING I AM RIVETED!

This is stunning. Arlo Sterling, you've done it again.

My favorite thing about this episode is that Nathan doesn't laugh ONCE until Julia brings up his desire for a banger episode and then he ERUPTS in the most VISCERAL laughter at the irony and it's adds SO MUCH to an already HILARIOUS episode like I will never get over the way Julia cry laughs through "And you go... that's what happens when you merobiba!!"

I’ve watched this 4 times and found a new part to appreciate every time. This is incredible!

This is such a fantastic fan animation ❤

The gift that keeps on giving

The fact that Nathan didn't really laugh at Merobiba... and then a video title "Julia making Nathan laugh for almost 30 minutes (part 1)" came up afterwards, is priceless

If Merobiba doesn't put them in the map, nothing will at this point. But for real, tho. Great work, Arlo.

0:33 Jacob's hiccup laugh. I need more!

Nathan just, like, not being on board with the bit but being too nice to put a hard stop to it really elevated the whole thing

Am always so excited when I see you've posted and I'm never disappointed. It's so high quality and well done
