Me too Animal. Me too.

I love the fact that the moment this puppet showed up on the stream everyone hated him but then he thirsted for malenia and nameddropped kojima and everyone loved him

[@JustinZode]

It was actually really funny and clever bit. Animal crossing too 😂

[@lastmellon489]

It’s the best thing to ever happen compared to the toad cap/hat bit. That was bad.

[@darlingxluxii7977]

Hahahaha yeah they love his character more 😂❤❤❤❤

[@fabi3790]

Everyone to their own I couldn't love him

[@krusher181]

“This puppet”

[@spikeyfied]

How funny would it be if Kojima puts Animal and a hint of his Love for Malenia actually in Death Stranding 2?

[@hashen_chamal]

Knowing Him, he'd atleast add some sort of note just for the memes.

Animal is on the game awards shouting "tarnished", "Kojima" and is simping for Malenia. What the fuck is 2022

Then a random dude nominates reformed orthodox rabbi Bill Clinton after Elden Ring wins GOTY

I can just imagine that as a trainer in pokemon. "You have been challenged by Reformed Orthodox Rabbi Bill Clinton"

So this is what the final form of Scarlet Rot looks like.

This was one of the better comedic bits in gaming events...!

I found my spirit animal.

[@nickperri6571]

I now need Animal as a spirit summon.

[@JustinZode]

I was CRYING laughing at this. I grew up with the muppets and love the off-beat sense of humor. Muppets meets Elden Ring was something I never imagined in my fucking life 😂

[@fusilier3029]

"I doubt you can even imagine it..."

[@theantgre]

"The Nintendo lawyers might have a problem with that"

Animal being based off Keith Moon means that Keith Moon would have played Elden Ring if he was still with us.

Animalenia blade of kermiquella :D

[@G1R2TS]

Animal can hide in box!!! I lost it with that line. 😂

[@walter1383]

The scene from the original Muppets Movie with animal screaming 'WOMAN!' over and over was all I could think about when he started fawning over Malenia.

[@AscendantStoic]

Someone needs to create an Animal cosplay in Elden Ring and defeat Malenia!

[@BigRoyBad]

Animal is a misbegotten though

[@MangoMeoww]

I love how the host is having an actual conversation with him. This segment was actually funny I think. Well done game awards!

[@Derpdeder_]

this gave me energy I needed to stay up for the last bit.

[@Supernautiloid]

This was a surprisingly good bit. The Animal voice guy did a good job.

[@talkingmudcrab718]

I thought the Animal bit would be cheesy and dumb but it was actually pretty hilarious. I LOL'd.

[@silverflight01]

Animal likes Elden Ring and Malenia, wants Kojima to put Animal into one of his games, would name his own game Animal Crossing (even though that name was already taken), and decided that the next award is Best Score. I love this guy

[@parknplay8328]

Him screaming "Kojima! Kojima!" is just so funny to me

[@wealthybone2990]

Seems like he's caught the fever of rotussy but fr how many attempts you think it took him to defeat Malenia? Also how does it look when someone is controlling that puppet?

[@tarvoc746]

LMAO "Rotussy"

lmao

ANIMALENIA

[@xsomeNOOBx]

Animal is a drummer in the muppets universe for those unaware. (Like our fine rodential host).

[@darkodev6961]

I love animal hahahaha

[@gachatookthekids]

I always found it endearing that the world collectively agrees that the Muppets are real living beings.

[@jojonr619]

This was a lot more entertaining than keegans toads hat stand up

[@RoaringTide]

Looks like Animal is based.

[@darlingxluxii7977]

Animal loves Malenia because he wants to marry her. 😂

good thing he didnt say Melania

[@iammaleniabladeofmiquella9159]

[@Er404ChannelNotFound]

I'm glad I get to enjoy this moment now cuz when I first watched it I was too distracted by the stress of Elden Ring potentially losing GOTY which thankfully did not happen lol.

[@estrellian7095]

What if Miyazaki and Kojima are working together to make a video game?

[@FarmerSlayerFromTheEdoPeriod]

Maybe he likes Malenia a little too much by the sound of it.

[@mkv2718]

Not related in the slightest, but I tried the Forspoken Demo…. And the dialogue is everything, just EVERYTHING you feared it would be. I couldn’t take it anymore after just the few minutes I played just getting through the demo’s tutorial. “S-bomb” this and and “F-bomb” that and (sorry I’m talking like a middle school teacher, I’m one of those people KZbin doesn’t like. You know the drill 🙄) so many “oh Snaps” in a matter of like 5 minutes I thought I was gonna gonna hurl. Gameplay-wise it seems like it might have some cool ideas, but all the constant quipping makes it feel like the writers were actually just a focus group who were asked a bunch of questions about what they liked and disliked, and then the producers took those answers and shoved them into a game that another focus group decided was needed to keep up with current market trends. In fact, I think that is the word that I would use to describe my brief experience with that demo- Trendy. Not even sure I’ll finish the demo… really don’t think the focus group had me in mind as the target demographic for that game 😬….

[@daveyjoneslocker4703]

Yeesh. It would be nice if there was a “quip slider” for modern games. The writing really is atrocious more often than not nowadays. Video game dialogue has always been a bit corny but most games just know not to overdo the presence of dialogue, at least until the past 7-8 years.

[@lostvayne9146]

the audience is gen z and modern day millenials.

[@mkv2718]

@@lostvayne9146 well, as someone who just turned 39 the day before these awards, i’m *technically* a millennial. tho originally. when they first came up with those dates, millennials only went back to 1984, but then someone decided that it’s just all of the 80s so yeah... still. i would describe the dialogue like this; if The WB had shows that were Rated R 😅. but again, it’s a free demo, so you can see for yourself. it’s a shame cuz the gameplay aspects do seem kinda cool too 🤷‍♂️

[@weavatronobservatory]

The music they played for Elden Ring was terrible. They didn’t even play the Elden Ring theme.. it should have gotten best score.

[@weavatronobservatory]

When the orchestra played the music I mean.

[@yab3146]

They did play the elden ring theme but it was very hard to recognise on the first listen

[@a5hen]

The only reason why they didnt win best score was so that they could balance it, otherwise Elden Ring deserves best score.

[@SoI_Badguy]

@@a5hen499 bloodborne didn't even win best soundtrack. Mainstream audiences don't appreciate souls music.

[@onefortyfour3]

the musicians are talented, but ill admit, i also didnt like this year's orchestra. they all sounded pretty same-ish. 2018 orchestra should be the standards

[@extinctbaryonyx]

@@GenWorldTV i think he meant the tga

[@blumiu2426]

@@GenWorldTV I think you misunderstood. Obviously Animal wasn't on the show for 3 hours, I mean watched the entire show which is no way shorter than Geoff said it was going to be. I grew up with the muppets, but I'm also an adult. I'm wise enough now to know they are used for whatever corporate whims need be like pushing politics, so unless you've not paid attention to what happened to Jim Henson's loss over them to Disney, you'd be disappointed. Greetings, I'm the Eater of Dreams.

[@tythus654]

Probably an unpopular opinion, but when I saw this I was like 'this is idiotic, who the fuck approved this script'. I mean, sure, it could be because I never really had much contact with the Muppets, just some vague memories of it, and none too many either, so maybe I just don't 'get it'... but to me it just felt like trying to play off of Malenia's notoriety, and seemed... fake? Like, I felt like there wasn't much of a joke there, other than being recognizable.

[@Fiddledickss]

It’s not that deep bub

[@kachigar8948]

Okay, thats probaly why i don't watch this show.
