Yeah one thing that really struck me was that he could have turned down the sponsored Unravelleds, and if he did he would have been fine, but he felt that the effect that not taking them would have had on the department’s bottom line may have resulted in further layoffs. Sucks.

Justin: What’s the opposite of bread?
Griffin: We can’t do this bit because it definitely won’t be funny.

*minutes before*

Justin: Everybody listen to this entire Taco Bell ad and don’t you DARE say anything funny.
Griffin: Ooh, this sounds promising!

Yeah, probably not the best advertisement for their new book in which they try to teach you how to make a good podcast.

It's amazing how many words this spends talking about this face without ever actually describing what it looks like.

Lmao at the volume of people pretending not to understand what a phrase means despite having hundreds of hours of context

What are the hundred hours of context? I genuinely hadn’t heard the phrase before now.

AngryBooch posted:

drat have you told this to a black person recently?

I’m, uh, pretty sure that’s not the same kind of thing as this.

EDIT: Oh, and earlier someone mentioned that they were relistening to the Trolls podcast and it’s really good. I wanted to mention that the Brown Derbys part was the best part because almost the whole podcast was an accidental setup for it.

I agree about Munch Squad generally but I actually kinda liked this week's. It was so bizarre. A peek into the world where McDonalds doing celebrity endorsements for their bad food is a huge deal and Taco Bell letting people fill a box with whatever slop they want is a rebellion against that. Really incomprehensible stuff.

I'd be down with retiring MBMBaM in exchange for another show with the same cast but a different format. I think the MBMBaM format has plenty of longevity left in it still, but at the end of the day the questions were always just a jumping-off point for jokes.

What exactly is Honey’s (I haven’t looked them up to see if they have some dumb spelling) business model? The brothers never mention any kind of premium option in their ads so I have to assume they’re scraping the gently caress out of your data while you have the browser thing installed.

Yeah, for drinking water they're bringing bottles over to the house of a neighbor with intact pipes, filling them up with tap water, bringing it back home, and boiling it to get rid of any contaminants.

Mr. Phillby it is obvious that for some reason or another you really don't like hearing people criticize this TAZ arc, which is fine, but the solution to that is not to make a post dismissing the person doing the critical opinion, the solution is to stop reading the thread until this arc is over.

Griffin and Travis need to do an all Munch Squad episode where they just read press releases about normal menu options verbatim at Justin until he gets the point about 20 minutes in, and then keep doing it for another 40 minutes until he cries uncle

Sounds like wrestling with a pig to me.

I gotta say, it really just seems like a normal face to me that does not inspire any particular emotion, and the amount of rage it apparently generates among you folks kinda makes me feel like I am in the Twilight Zone.

I was just about to say that, yeah. I like the new song, but frankly, any intro+song combination with a length of 15, 30, 45, 60, or 75 seconds should work just fine.

I'm rather excited about Sonic Learns to Drive.

Tears In A Vial posted:

Speaking of cancelled McElroy affiliates, I rewatched touch the Skyrim the other day.

The main attraction in Touch the Skyrim was always the crazy mods and Griffin's reactions to them anyway. That's why that followup series about finding stuff using free camera movement was shaping up to be kind of a dud.

Oh yeah I forgot about that weird free roam camera thing. I think there was a super monkey Ball one right?

If I recall correctly, that was the only one because the scandal happened almost immediately afterward.

Overboard is the only thing I watch there anymore

Same, but Overboard is suffering badly from not being able to do in-person stuff. Theoretically it shouldn't make a difference, but the games they're choosing to play because of the online environment just aren't doing it for me.

Thank you so much for posting this, I love this person's work and this might be my favorite bit they ever did. My only disappointment is that the part where Justin accuses Travis of not thinking 22 slices is a lot of pizza didn't make it in.

Yeah, who would have thunk that people would react negatively to your super antagonistic post? We got a real Nostradamus over here.

EDIT: On second reading, the response to your post was literally nothing like the dialogue you wrote for "McElroyfans" within it. So, this is all pretty strange.
