Remember that one time they were flung into an alternate dimension and was saved by a huge buff dude with like a big ol' chain gun from a bunch of robots "... Sirs?"

This scene is one of my favorite examples of how good the Mcelroys are at improv. The whole back and forth, the on the spot monologue, and especially the "Can I get tickets" then not even a second later, "Can't you just summon them, Mr Wizard?". The fucking speed that he comes up with such a well crafted response! Calling back to the conversation, mocking Angus, and creating a perfect bookend to the scene. Geniuses.

Taako's reply to "Can I get tickets", and Merle asking Hodge Podge(?) how many fingers he has behind his back are the best examples of this in the entire podcast in my opinion. They are geniouses! (Sometimes)

Great designs on Taako and Agnes. You really caught Taako's faux-aristocratic sneer that he does everything with; something I think gets lost in the transition from radio to visual a lot. For being a goofball chef with buck teeth he sure does act like a high elf.

He really did a lot of the heavy lifting in the early moments of Pam though. He can be hesitant but when he comes through, it's genius.

how can a character be such an asshole and still so lovable it blows my mind, so good. Taako is my FWE (favorite wizard ever)

I think about the face on "oh, when that day comes" whenever I'm about to start a mid-grade fight these days

One day. Perhaps a distant day, but one day... The Adventure Zone, as a whole-series animation. Start to finish. Probably collaborative, but still. Hnnng.

your taako is rlly rlly perfect omg

holy sh*t I didn't think it was possible to feel fear towards taako yet here I am!

One of my all time favorite Taako moments. Scaring the shit out of that poor little boy detective

I'd like to thank you. I never heard of The Adventure Zone, and I had no interest in Dungeons & Dragons. Now I've finished the whole thing and wanting to play d&d with my family. Loved animation for long time, and loving this one.

This and Glass Shark are two of the greatest bits Justin has ever done and I have trouble deciding which is better

This is my favorite animation of one of my favorite scenes and honestly, I still can't believe Griffin didn't completely lose it until the end

Taako is the worst! I love him

I love this so much. I keep coming back to watch it.

This is the most professional looking AZ animatic out there! I hope you find the time to do more!

This is my favorite TAZ video ever. I have watched it at least 10 times.

I love your look for Ango here. He looks exactly how I pictured him.

The "you've peed your loincloth" poster is just chock full of references

Fun fact: This is the first animatic I ever watched of TAZ and it got me to start listening to it!

im crying????? this is the best thing ive ever seen, ive watched it fifteen times over now, i cant wait to see more from u

ANGO MY BOY!!!! MY LITTLE SON!!!

I love Taako's character SO MUCH.

This is my favorite TAZ animation ever tbh. I keep coming back to it! It's funny by itself but the animation matches so well, looks so good, and I love this portrayal of Taako and Agnes!

I don't know why it's so funny to me , I really don't but listening to taako threaten him has actually made me cry laughing, something that I haven't done for years. this show is wonderful

This is ands down my favourite moment from TAZ.

This is far and away the best artists rendering of Taako and Angus I have seen so far. Love your art style. More of these please!

I listened to this episode in the car today and damn near had to pull over bc I was laughing so hard at this part. Thank you for animating this snippet so I can enjoy over and over 💜

How is this from 2016?! It feels like just a couple months ago that I saw this and immediately fell in love with your designs for Taako and Angus. Please keep up the good work, I love every frame of this and hope whatever you make from here on out is just as impressive

This is my dad’s method of teaching at primary school.

This animation is pretty much what convinced me to start listening to the adventure zone a couple years ago. Still my favorite TAZ animation ever. Love this design for taako that's simple yet totally captures his mannerisms and personality. great friggin stuff

To this day, this remains one of my favorite Adventure Zone animatics

The acting in this is so good. Excellent work. I love it.

My favorite part of this (besides all of it lmao) is when Taako starts to say "Angus" but then switches it to "Agnes." Fucking golden.

That moment when Angus starts to blurt out his flattered thanks and Taako goes scary on 'im. 2perf

I think this is one of my top favorite animated scenes. Your drawing style reminds me of old Disney movies from the 70s/80s. Great job!

Aaah I laugh/cried a bit. Great work. You made a lovely mood there

i love all of you that make these, oh man, this made my day.

You did such a good job on this, really great stuff!

Amazing detailed work, looks so good!

This was absolutely fantastic, thank you for sharing it!

I love this moment so much and it's even better in this beautiful animation.

i love your style so much. so much grace in the linework and character comes through in expressions and gestures wow wow I would love to see more i will probably buy the coffee

Best work done in representation of this show. Really well done

Holy crap your character designs are amazing. I love it XD the expressions are brilliant

This is utterly delightful. Thank you!!!!

That might be the most precious Angus I've ever seen. Love your art!

Taako is just t-poseing over Angus saying *_you dare oppose me mortal_*

This is my favorite animatic I love taako and how you show both their emotions!

Awesome effort, top notch. Stay proud of your work.
