Deathblart 2024

[@andnowtheysing]

In 2022, Griffin really pushed hard for a ten-year cycle where they could kill the podcast if all five voted to do so. In 2024, not only did they all have such a good watch that they didn't even bother voting on whether to end it, Justin reaffirmed his commitment to continue the podcast forever, no matter what. Not today, death. Not today.

[@OhGodWhatIsThisAah]

To the _roaches!_ Had me tearing up.

[@DeweyFinn21]

Technically, while this is the 10th podcast, next year is actually the 10th anniversary since you don't celebrate your 1st anniversary on the day you get married, so if the question comes up next time they'd still be on a 10 year cycle.

[@sharkofjoy]

Wedding anniversaries are not counted in the same way media and other anniversaries are because they measure a discrete time period of a year. Media etc anniversaries are counted from day of release. Sailor Moon's 25th anniversary celebrated 25 years since the first episode aired, Disney World celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2021, 50 years after it opened, etc. Sorry my friend! They have given up on the idea of the vote, meaning this podcast must continue forever with no exit ramp

[@DeweyFinn21]

@@sharkofjoy All of your examples are following my counting order. Disney World opening in 1971. Celebrated 50th anniversary in 2021. Til Death Do Us Blart started in 2015. The 10 year anniversary is 2025. So by trying to prove me wrong you worked you way into strengthening my position.

[@Mosstrades]

its not really counted as a yearly anniversary would, rather a celebration of how many times theyve watched the thing. if we make the ten year anniversary in 2025, it means that first watch isnt counted. and i dont wanna do that to these poor men.

[@WarLore]

utterly unsurprising that tim & guy crossed an ocean and went to vegas, while the mcelroys, who live in america, did not. amazing. love the Fellas

[@rocknrollmandolin]

I'd expect absolutely nothing less.

[@wardandson]

The Mcelroys’ lack of commitment to the bit is incredible.

[@Yammenkow]

​@@wardandson The McElroys flirt with the bit. Tim and Guy marry that bit, settle down in bit land, and have 15 bit children.

[@samparr3368]

honestly, i get it. i live in the lower 48 and i have family in Las Vegas, family i’m actually quite fond of and always enjoy spending time with. i have every reason to go there and the resources available for it. and i have consciously turned down so many opportunities to do so.

can you like tell me when you finally cave and watch it bc maybe that will be the trigger for me to also finally watch it

[@tristenag9113]

I am with you there, my dream is that PBMC2 will be the last movie I ever watch, so I must wait for the deathbed

[@TheDrLeviathan]

Honestly? Get some friends, get fucked up, and synch it to Dark Side of the Moon. Griffin was right; it is a legit religious experience, and it's become semi-tradional to me. Edit: do NOT watch it raw. I did once, and as someone who purposely watches bad movies... Blart 2 is the pits. Not worth it.

[@adensteigerwalt6775]

They’re like Jesus dying for our sin in this cause the burden they shoulder is Blart. True saviors

[@juxhex]

Justin is right that this project keeps getting funnier the more time passes and I genuinely hope it lasts forever. Happy Death Blart week everyone

31:50 DEEP respect for professional big brother Justin managing to hold it in for a heroic few seconds upon hearing his youngest brother call himself a podcast producer.

[@phillanderson434]

As a hotel front desk worker I appreciate every time you guys call out Blart for being unreasonable.

[@flacht_6]

The only thing better than Tim and Guy flying to Vegas to record this is seeing how few views this video has which means MOST people heard they were recording in Vegas, knew there was video evidence, and decided it would be so much funnier to just keep listening to the audio version. Absolute perfection.

[@JayofLemuria]

I had literally no idea that there was a video version of this podcast! The McElroys rarely post full video versions of a podcast, so I bet there’s a ton of us who come from them that don’t know it’s even an option. I’m so excited to have found it by chance 😁

[@AnarchoLoserist]

@@JayofLemuria same! i found it by accident this year lol

[@dalecrosby3246]

Been listening to Death Blart and watching the movie every year since 2016, and it’s only just now that the KZbin algorithm revealed this gem! Will definitely be looking for video versions of any previous years too.

I have a little recurring calendar reminder for American Thanksgiving that just reads DEATHBLART DEATHBLART DEATHBLART. This year, that popped up on my shared work calendar. You ever try to explain this podcast to a coworker without sounding insane? It's harder than you'd expect

[@samuelcorbett8167]

It's absolutely brutal, yeah. Thanks to this podcast, I became known as "The Blart Guy" in my last office and people didn't understand that I think the movies are terrible and just love a weird experimental comedy podcast.

[@mcmooshroo2974]

1:08:24 OMG the funny version of this movie where this guy has clearly bitten off more than he can chew between watching his kids, having the affair, and going to Vegas, probably the most spread thin he's ever been, then turning to see Paul Blart on the floor covered in melted ice cream is gold

[@timbodesosa518]

shoutout to myself who re-listens to all existing episodes every year (except I missed the first), ten years worth was pretty grueling over these last four days, but having these last two years be good watches has been massively helpful for the morale of the crew (me)

[@LifesNeverHumDrum]

It is an important ritual

[@MisterMuffin]

I personally can’t wait to be listening to every Death Blart episode on my death bed, all the while not having seen the movie ONCE.

[@LifesNeverHumDrum]

I unfortunately decided to watch the movie with the boys one year. I regret it. It wasn’t nearly as bad as Sex in the City 2, but it was still not worth it.

[@CarelessBeach]

​@LifesNeverHumDrum I myself love being able to share the knowledge of an awful movie with folks, so it was worth it for me a few years back. Plus, it feels good to join the hype of the banana scene and Garden of Contemplation during episodes. Totally within the spirit of the endeavor to NEVER watch it, though. Though, it may be funnier to take an oath to never seek out the movie yourself, but if presented with the option you must do so.

[@ashleyir]

I made it through 30 minutes my first try. I have yet to finish.

I think next year each one of them has to watch the movie with a group of undergrad psychology students who have to psycho-analyse their reactions and interpretations to Paul Blart Mall Cop 2.

[@captainlily]

i finally watched pbmc2 after 10 years of imagining it. not only was it so much worse than i had imagined, but it took me several days to watch because a mere 20 minutes into starting the film: my dementia ridden grandpa had what can only be described as a "poo-splotion" and sprayed liquid diarrhea WHILE STANDING UP over our entire bathroom so badly that every single thing inside, except for the porcelain throne, had to be thrown away. so. take that omen as you will. won't be forgetting this film anytime soon!! love you boys

Paul Blart mall cop 2 is one of those movies that you forget entirely in a year (except maybe “chicken chow Lane”, the garden of contemplation and the ice cream dripping hypoglycemia scenes) until people start talking about it. At that point, whether you want to or not, it all starts coming back.

Griffin, I agree, pink is your color! 👏

[@sycastells1212]

Fellow listeners (and McMontelbatt boys, if you're paying attention to the comments here), I have a conundrum. My partner and I bonded in part over our shared love of McElroy creations. One of the ones we don't currently share is Blart, which I listen to faithfully and my partner so far has not. They're interested in listening, however, there is one thing holding them back. They want to watch the film Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 before listening to the podcast. I, however, have never watched Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 and never intend to do so, preferring my experience of this august podcast to remain an enigmatic projection of the McMontelbatt 5's perspectives. I respect my partner's preference to watch the movie first, and I don't foresee that being a source of conflict between us if they would just watch it already. However, given that it's a piece of shit flick, they've been reluctant to actually bite that bullet. I want to share this wonderful podcast with my partner. But without actually being able to sit down with them and sit through it myself, how can I encourage them to see this movie? And if I do, how can I live with myself afterward?

[@sonny423]

this may be an unpopular opinion in the deathblart-watching world, but i think paul blart 1 is a genuinely funny and well-made comedy/action movie. it has the added benefit of being a rare thanksgiving/black friday movie, as opposed to a christmas movie, which gives it a special niche. my suggestion is you sit down next black friday and enjoy PBMC1 together, your partner can give in to the temptation to follow it up with the sequel (ive never seen it either and can't speak to the relative quality) while you hold out, then consume deathblart together

[@Mosstrades]

sit them down to watch it, pull up the audio track they made (2020 i think?) and listen to it with them, but make them wear headphones (maybe on one ear only) and avert your eyes from the screen so youre just listening to the podcast

[@jacksonlyon5957]

What if you sit behind the tv while your partner watches it with headphones on? That way you're there for moral support but you won't be actually watching or hearing the movie.

[@t2send]

Seconding the commentary track. I was a listener and only watched the commentary track. If they already enjoy their style of humor they'll be into it. But I also think listening to the first episode is pretty quick and breezy
