Monster Factory is made whenever they find a promising game to make one with, not on a schedule.

The current title of the Monster Factory youtube page begs to differ.

Plus they currently have an ongoing 'storyline' in The Sims. (But hell, for the amount of their content I consume for a monthly $5 donation I don't care if they get off schedule sometimes...)

I don't think the money you donate to Max Fun is funding the Polygon videos.

I have a co-worker that doesn't listen to any of these podcasts but is obsessed with the weekly animated shorts. He waits to watch them so we can together the one day we share.

He's a good kid. I'm going to fully indoctrinate him into the family.

The best part of the McElroy family is that it's so easy for someone to express any interest at all in any subject and you go "oh hey, I listen to a podcast/watch a YouTube series about that if you're interested" super casual like and then they're in.

My roommate started listening to TAZ after hearing it while in my car, and now that he's worked through the entirety of that, he's trying to get into MBMBaM. He started on Spaghettageddon, and loved it.

So true. I've struck up conversations with friends of friends on Facebook when I noticed them dropping McElroy in-jokes and had really nice interactions every time. McElroy fans are all just super chill. I think a big part of it has to do with their overall mission to be inclusive of all people no matter what. It's a pretty safe bet that, if someone's a fan, they've probably adopted that same mantra. I know it's affected me for sure.

Is there still a MBMBaM 'sampler' link or whatever? I want to introduce a friend but I'd rather give them a 5–10 minute series of clips rather than have them listen to a whole episode.

The last sampler was like five years ago but it's still pretty good. There's numerous unofficial compilations on YouTube as well as videos of individual bits.

Sometimes I put those individual youtube bits on shuffle while I'm doing something else. The 'drop the beat Francis' one is on there which still makes me laugh every time. Also the one with the kid who didn't know how to bring up his secret desire to wear shorts. And the The Gambler one, and Sex Draculas and Curse A Real Sword. If they don't like any of those, they won't like the show...

I listened to last week's MBMBAM with a first time listener and he definitely thought it was funny, especially the part at the very end about a long, narrow restaurant where you just, like, gun it

For clips, I still think the one that convinced me to give the show a listen was I Hate You, Ron

I listened to that again today after its mention in this thread and "Since then I have seen other boys in shorts and at that time sort of half-wished unconsicously in the back of my mind sometimes that I was wearing those shorts." is just incredible. Some dollar store Faulkner poo poo.

The best part of the yahoo though is the question asker's parents saying "We're not a shorts family."

I remember reading in a book about Douglas Adams' life that british people currently or previously associated shorts with small boys but it can't be that extreme.

Where does the wind come from that blows upon your face, that fans the pages of your book?
Tit Liquid will always be one of my favorites. It was one of my first exposures to McElroy humor, and I was so delighted by the journey of hairpin turns that started with "Moo Juice" and somehow ended up at a horehound-loving vampire assassin running for Republican primary. The way all the brothers accepted each bizarre new detail and ran with it convinced me to subscribe.

In hindsight, Justin's responsible for some of my favorite characters: he's the one who started the Tit Liquid riff, Glass Shark, tiny Amélie, the Spanish DNA strand from Jurassic Park, Taako...

That's some bush league stuff. Everyone knows the most optimal way is to infinite dupe Rare Candies via the missingno exploit and overlevel your Venusaur to something around 175 and have it beat the Elite 4 by itself.

That episode was really the best possible one they could've put forward to draw in new fans. The show in its entirety is pretty great, but the Rachos episode in particular was really well representative of them as a group, while not being in-joke heavy.
