David Attenborough HATES Toads - Animated

From Make Some Noise's "www.dropout.tv/videos/shakesp..." episode three of season two of MAKE SOME NOISE on Dropout! www.dropout.tv/ Go get it!
Hey gang!
I knew I was going to animate this one the second I heard it. The concept of David Attenborough losing his mind over these little slimy freaks was so funny to me and Ross Bryant's execution and choice of voice was just perfect entire the time.

[@FairlySadPanda]

"Evolution doesn't have a plan; it makes frequent and catastrophic mistakes" is SUCH a powerful line

[@MiracleMags]

For that being improv, it felt too accurate to what an actual anthropology or life sciences professor would tell their students lmao

[@connorscanlan2167]

I wish creationists would hear this.

[@ezekielmartin4323]

I want that on my tombstone

[@zooker7938]

It's biologically completely true. I love a 'I hate nature' joke that keeps in mind how nature actually works rather than imposing human ideas on it.

[@basementdwellercosplay]

And extremely true from what I learned in Anthropology

[@namara-ashina]

Absolute PEAK toad design. That is the cutest, chonkiest toad I have ever seen ❤

[@analoren4745]

i love him. I wanna hug it

[@resileaf9501]

The perfect design for such a loathsome freak of nature.

[@pyrouscomments]

Of course, it's a fictional toad...

[@sharpeningtheaxe]

It really is so cute ❤️ I love it too

[@cainancapko4149]

Real big Boggy energy

I love how dropout paid DBI to do a series of animated shorts for d20 and DBI has spent the past 2 years after that going “fuck it I’ll do that for free now”

[@elianabeebe7494]

@@RobinHood3000I seem to recall drawfee once having paid jobs and not receiving notice they were being fired but that’s just my pedantic side speaking

God, I adore the contrast between Ross’s horrific descriptions and the adorable derp ass frog you animated. Fucking took me out every time.

[@DeepBlueInk]

[@Lucifersfursona]

How can he hate the baby. Tiny green boi

[@Krensharpaw]

I like how he is just chillin out. As I saw it as he went off on about them lol.

[@tumblingartist]

Ross: “…repellent, BELCH of nature…” Toad: O_O✨

[@LiamsLPs]

I love Brennan finding his VA rival in Ross, can't wait to see them both in a dimension 20 season

[@therojowo]

I didn't come up with this idea, but now I desperately want an Oops, All Bards side quest with Ross, Zach Reino, Jess McKenna, and other musical improvisers in the dropout sphere

[@therojowo]

Actually, now that I've thought about it, I think the perfect line-up would be Zach, Jess, Ross, Zeke Nicholson, Rashawn Scott, and Jiavani (and if they could get Wayne Brady? Oh my god)

[@LiamsLPs]

@@therojowo ok but imagine they put out a trailer on April 1st: "Oops, All Bards! Coming out... April 1st!" and we all think it's a fun little goof. Then 3 hours later they drop episode 1

[@therojowo]

@@LiamsLPs I would simply curl up into a little ball and die happy (wait, but then I wouldn't be able to watch it... I'd figure something out)

[@SportsGuru1924]

You should check out the latest season of Adventuring Academy. Ross is on an episode

[@megakaioken9386]

I love how the "vile and grotesque abominations" are drawn as cute as a button, just vibing while mr. Attenborough slams them with a tirade that would feel at home in the 40k universe. Edit: spelling

[@Bluecho4]

Regimental Priest David Attenborough, giving a tirade about the Slann.

[@Krensharpaw]

They just chillin out being like "yo....." lol

[@maxmcclelland1119]

[@goldenfiberwheat238]

There’s someone who has been using ai to make David Attenborough narrate 40k lore

[@ahardworker2154]

There are Toads in 40k just don't boop them.

[@frankyhorn2475]

I love how he's just suddenly in the pond, pointing at this toad insulting it. And the attention to detail with the damp line slowly rising up his arms each time we cut back. This one was good

[@Krensharpaw]

And all the while, the toad is just chillin there. Not even bothered lol

Not the squishy blep face while being absolutely roasted 😂 I strive to care so little about the opinions of the world around me

[@leociresi4292]

He wouldn’t be saying that about Tiny Desert Frog!😁

[@moniquegerken182]

Caring so little about the world around you is one thing. Caring so little about the words of David Attenborough is another entirely.

[@bishop1412]

If Brennan was one of Attenborough's producers they'd be cutting all the time for corrections or bird facts.

[@feuilletoniste]

I loved the inclusion of Brennan on the sidelines looking increasingly dismayed at the anti-toad tirade, looking through the job postings to find a new position that doesn't have an anti-little-guy energy! (I know he has a reputation as a Bird Guy, but if you've seen the video that shows his affection for his and Izzy's robot vacuum cleaner, you can well imagine that he would see himself as a friend to toads and all other "lowly" creatures, and couldn't bear to hear them disparaged or see their presence in the world go unappreciated...)

[@BrunoMaricFromZagreb]

Uh,context?

[@wintersakiller]

David Attenborough is so utterly wholesome that I cannot imagine him ever saying this

[@freyamiles3718]

It what makes this so funny

[@davidm9612]

It doesn't help that Ross's impression sounded more like if Attenborough was auditioning for the role of Saruman (Now I'm picturing him saying "Amphibian the grey? Amphibian the fool!")

[@cliffbunny5759]

To be fair, he does sound pretty pissed off when describing the sheer ineptitude of the giant panda.

[@jonathanwatson4484]

I feel like this is what he sound like when he was younger

[@LoganBluth]

@@jonathanwatson4484 He's been broadcasting animal documentaries since 1954 when he was 28 years old, he's always sounded like his usual breathless-with-excitement David Attenborough voice. This is more like what if Brian Blessed hijacked a David Attenborough show for 5 minutes. Haha

[@FanOfMostEverything]

"Animator Hides Easter Egg Inside Page of Newspaper" Big if true. Also, lovely work. I do love the toad being completely indifferent to Mr. Attenborough's disdain. Abhorred as it may be, the toad carries on.

[@DeepBlueInk]

How did that get spotted in 10 minutes

[@FanOfMostEverything]

@@DeepBlueInk You underestimate my power.

[@cooldude2722]

Attenborough: “you could not pay me to touch it” Also Attenborough: *is holding it*

[@Kingkent1207]

I love the way the Camera zooms in to emphasis his insults. It ought to be dramatic, but it hilariously highlights how innocent the toads are.

[@lustforlimerence]

"BELCH of nature" goes so hard, like that shit is lodged in my soul now and i love all the hard zooms with each insult it's too good

[@davidfalterman8713]

Not to be dramatic but I would die for DBI's round li'l toad friend 🐸

[@blarg2429]

Not to be sinister but you certainly will 🗡🐸

[@BlandoGaming]

​@@blarg2429 What a twist!

[@lisah-p8474]

The toad's little floating eyebrows were such an impeccable design choice. When Ross/David picks him up and his fingers just sort of slot in between them? Delightful.

[@havenparks]

And the little toad has a little butt! 0:48

[@chod431]

Deep, the wiggly eyes gets me every animation. Never stop.

[@DeepBlueInk]

I'm incapable of stopping

[@feuilletoniste]

​@@DeepBlueInkHuzzah!

[@THVEssays]

I would 1000% buy this frog as a plushie if you made it. Specifically, the scene at 0:41 where it's tongue is out.

[@daymuntaku6590]

with the caption: "This... blob like, repellent, _belch_ of nature!"

[@queenofdeen]

Toad plushie!

[@krim7]

Ross is describing a MONSTROSITY and an ABOMINATION and your toad is just the a little guy vibing next to a stream. Absolutely excellent animation!

[@sonablom]

Love the poor nature doc producer panicking. You always find ways to make these more than just a 1:1 adaption and I love it. Also that toad is freakin adorable (but I also would not touch it)

[@Deas-Mhumhna]

Honestly, David would love this😂. He has a great sense of humor and im sure he came across an animal or 2 that made him question life.😂

[@genericname8727]

I know I’ve seen an animal documentary discussing a type of frog that couldn’t jump properly and just flung itself into the air and landed haphazardly, was regularly eaten by predators, and I believe made a sound to attract mates despite being deaf. I feel like it might’ve been Attenborough narrating that and it’s what this video reminded me of.

[@zooker7938]

@@genericname8727 There's a bizarre beasts episode about it on youtube. The pumpkin toadlet. Basically it's so small that its ears don't work, so it has no sense of balance whatsoever and it can't hear its own mating calls. It seems to only survive because it's poisonous so nothing wants to eat it.

[@Unownshipper]

Here's me wondering what he'd think of the blobfish. 🤔

[@captain_kadaver]

​@@UnownshipperProbably nothing out of the ordinary, considering blobfish only look like that after they have suffered severe tissue damage from rapid pressure changes during ascent after being caught. They look quite different in their natural habitat

[@danielled8665]

Like that one bird that kept screaming every time he tried to talk? 😂

[@mudfish6861]

The constant cuts back to Brennan in horror at “David Attenborough” ranting about toads are incredible. And it has been said, but the line “[Nature] makes frequent and *catastrophic* mistakes” is one of the best I’ve ever heard.

[@hfar_in_the_sky]

"Evolution doesn't have a plan. It makes frequent and catastrophic mistakes." Every time I think of the babirusa, aka the wild boar whose tusks occasionally trepan its own skull, I think of this quote

[@tragicallyhypno3158]

Honestly, if David Attenborough was like this about all animals, I would watch every episode of what he does.

[@TheSabadine]

There's so much to love about this: the toad derp face and the suited narrator standing in the swamp while he prosecutes the toad for existing. But the intro with opening credits over the narrator standing straight and composed before he descends into hyperbolic ranting, is perfect.

[@SnowFox-gv2rn]

I love how adorable the toad is! Just a chonky little friend that’s jokingly getting berated by Ross 😂

[@anicrue]

Amazing, you captured the feralness of it all amazingly. Plus, those shots of the eagle and tiny fish cutting to the toad was just amazing

[@AssortedGarbage23]

0:43 “Sam squeals as Brennan mourns his career” I absolutely love it when creators add comedic footnotes into the subtitles, so thank you for that

[@ahiggy583]

Your animations are always so good: ) I love the little frog tongue :P

[@alexanderburke2973]

"David": One of nature's most horrible BOTCH JOBS Tode :P

[@Alyxandrite005]

Omg the backgrounds are beautifully in this one. The little water ripples are just.... 🥹

[@Hawk_Leigh]

i adore this and i cannot get over Attenborough ending up in the pond, his suit getting more and more soaked as he points at the ✨blob ✨

[@KitCabaret]

I can't believe I'm JUST NOW noticing the "DBI" logo in the top left in place of "BBC"... that combined with the newspaper, the fact that you took the time to animate the bugs flying across the screen at random times interrupting the shot - just, all this attention to detail is incredible ❤

[@Roboman20000]

Ross is a treasure that even dragons would want to share with the world.

[@starshiny3399]

I love your ability to portray laughter as crying. It is a whole new level of humor.

[@wrmsnicket]

Ross is an underrated gem. He’s consistently the highlight of any episode he’s in. The Shakespeare episode of Game Changer is one of my absolute favorites.

[@MrsMars-kf5lb]

The fact that you refuse to draw the toad as anything other than just a cute little guy while it gets read to absolute filth

[@johannesbertilsson4856]

Looooove the toad design, especially the lil blep!

[@DeepBlueInk]

:p

[@SebastianVanWoerkom]

The way he pulls the board away to show the "toad of nature" made me crack up. The comedic timing on it is just perfect.

[@msthecommentator2863]

The lil angy toad just chilling and doing toad stuff on the rock while Attenborough thoroughly roasts it to a crisp is the best part for me. You drew it so cute, it really adds to the hilarity that he can't stand being even three feet from it

[@noemiemaurice5551]

I can't imagine the man hating an animal this much but it would be so funny if after all that professionalism he just *did that* XD

[@groofay]

He's gonna wait until like a week before he dies, then release something like this direct to KZbin so he can watch the internet explode for a little while before he goes.

[@maxcasteel2141]

The Make Some Noise animateds are so good since they're such bizarre worlds and circumstances. It was your channel that got me to get on Dropout and all of gamechanger and make some noise, as well as several seasons of D20 later I'm very grateful

[@thetoadking7414]

I can't David Attenborough would do this. His views have forever changed the way i see the world

[@LeighRawls]

I freakin love Ross Bryant! He and the whole Improvised Shakespeare Company folks are so insanely funny and talented!

Oh man, it's fun scanning the comments and realizing so few people know what frogs/toads are actually doing when stacked like that.

[@nickschumacher4309]

That one scene where Brennan is just looking at the scrip like a producer in shock, like "this isn't what I i had here, hold on..." Flipping hazardously lol

[@rocketforthree4479]

"Perched upon the lip of the lapping brook" is such a good phrase. I want it to be the title of a book or something

Those toads are ADORABLE, and that really elevates the comedy of David's hatred for them.

[@arsonist7013]

The fact he's willing to stand almost keck deep in swamp water in a suit while he rants about how much he hates toads makes this all the funnier.

[@AarPlays]

No matter how much David Attenborough hates toads, yours stole my heart

[@carveylover]

I love all the players on Make Some Noise/Game Changer but my top three are as Follow: Brennan, Ross, and Josh. I think Ross always has something fun with a bit of "oh, f*ck what have gotten myself into" about him. He makes interesting choices. Has references. He is just top notch. A real MVP in my eyes. This bit and his Southern Lawyer are two of my favorites this season. I am hoping that with the strikes going on, we get some more episodes, but we shall see.

[@kevinmilhim646]

Fun fact: In Australia, there is a MASSIVE cane toad problem to the point that there was a guy who went on the news to say that it was his goal in life to crush as many cane toads as possible with his car. I like to imagine that he and David Attenborough are buddies.
