[@travismueller8282]

The, "Guards, seize him!" reminds me of the, "Gijinka that man, and if he resists, isekai him!" Absolutely one of my favorite lines.

[@Romanticoutlaw]

if karina isn't responsible for that line, it's my headcanon that she is

[@aditoledano1139]

Where is that line from?

[@LucyousWarlock]

if you gijinka a man he becomes a man-man?

[@ChelseyK1ng]

​@@RomanticoutlawGod, i just ASSUMED she was

[@rattersworld1016]

@@aditoledano1139 Yeah, I'd like to know, too.

[@ThatPazuzu]

I was in charge of buttering up Jacob before recording. Im glad you all appreciate my work

[@PeteQuaint]

mmmm he would get so crisp up and golden brown in the oven. good buttering!

[@ericpayne9091]

did you go with salted or unsalted?

[@ndsolimini]

There’s nothing quite like watching Julia draw intricate details, only to cover them up and delete them.

[@Alfiemon]

I love how everyone is focused on how shiny our good friend Jacob is

[@missmiliagujo]

The video peaked early ig. Either that or the episode is SO GOOD that no one wants to spoil a second of it 😆

[@caylesx]

I AM SO GLAD EVERYONE IS MENTIONING JACOBS SLUG SKIN!

[@broblerone413]

he's a shiny boi

[@ericvaughn2617]

It's important to moisten your Jacob regularly to avoid overheating.

[@robxholicfoxyfan8552]

We know and love his shiny skin, so why not mention it?

[@OhNoBohNo]

20:55 Making Goofy so mad he says 'gosh' instead of 'gawrsh'

[@frankiemeyer9671]

This is the sign that you made a horrible mistake.

[@HunterJE]

From goofy that’s a swear

[@broblerone413]

you know shit's about to get real

[@17thstellation]

Nathan's impression sounds exactly how I imagine Goofy would if he were dead serious and had enough of your shit

[@fiddleriddlediddlediddle]

Julia completed her wax statue of Jacob which gained sentience and killed and replaced Jacob and now it's trying to blend in.

[@bibibai7378]

is it just me or is Jacob glowing kinda beautifully lately...

[@BuckyDK]

Moist

[@OldBeau]

glistening... ​@@BuckyDK

[@Kunavi108]

I would kiss him (platonically)

[@Aaaa-ed8nv]

Julia got him pregnant. It's his pregnancy glow. 😌✨

[@aguywearingonlyshorts]

My man's moisturized

[@Tots_]

I have been nicotine free all day and it's been rough but the goofy yokai did in fact help

[@b0nnebunne]

hey great goin, keep up the effort!!!

[@Tots_]

@@b0nnebunne thank you

[@JacksonBockus]

You got this!

[@faxonii]

you’re doing amazing!!

[@madeline569]

Maybe with continued effort you'll be looking as shiny as Jacob

[@marchhoney6329]

Wow Jacob is glistening

[@OldBeau]

im saying. he is mosturized

[@Marshade]

I need his skincare routine

[@missmiliagujo]

I wonder if he mixed up inspiration and perspiration again 🤔

[@gumbatlal]

“This is the skin of a killer, Bella.”

[@fdd8747]

​@@gumbatlal✨️👁👄👁✨️

[@arocknrolldream]

I can't believe Julia controlled the sun to shine on Jacob and make him glow so bright

[@Welshman336]

Jacob saying "I'm a fan and I demand service" to Karina... took the words right out of my mouth

[@peanutbutter7721]

Jacob is looking shinier than ever

[@mya9556]

not the goofy yokai smashing thru my wall like the kool aid man to passive aggressive me into not being depressed anymore

[@eptck]

with my luck i would go to mochafest & ask nathan to draw me a man-faced animal only to come out the other side with a picture of a regular monkey

[@RetroIsaac]

Also know as "The Rude Ape"

[@eptck]

@@RetroIsaac :/

[@mattmenken]

Ok, this happens sometimes. I promise that I, a real human person like all you other humans, am not just a dog with a man's face in a trenchcoat. Cross my paws, hope to cry. Wait, ah crap, ah beans. Leave me alone!

[@mattmenken]

flip a brick. I don't think my name actually shows up. Hello, my name is Matt Menken. like the jinmenken. but, you know, a real person.

[@HeddieMartinez]

this is incredibly suspicious... But I'll trust you because you can't lie on the Internet.

[@therockphilosopher1678]

Looks like Karina finally got her shiny Jacob

[@Tardisntimbits]

Can confirm that Karina broke into my house, but when I explained I was too poor to join the patreon right now, she backed off. She also did that little threatening eye-finger thing to indicate she was watching me, and I swore I'd join when I was in a better place. 10/10, most threatening, but also most understanding Yokai.

[@peachy__pg]

i feel like i should comment on how good jacob looks because everyone else is and it’s true. also i’ve thought before about wanting y’all to do an episode about korean folklore and this seems like a good place to suggest it!

[@maiazabo]

i'm obsessed with the drawfee editing style of "if someone references a well-known character, flash a drawfee depiction of that character with no context regardless of how much that drawing looks like the character"

[@kalebnielsen943]

I didn't know Jacob was dressing up as a twilight vampire

[@astrawovas]

1.3k resets later we finally found him... a shiny jacob

[@NapoleonWinston]

Love Karina's 'Vengeful Spirit' mode of her avatar!

[@glarryg2318]

I really think Mr. Goofbelly would do a good job of convincing the other two not to kill me, so I'd side with him.

[@cooldude2722]

…But what about F-M-K?

[@Thorngot]

​@@cooldude2722 what that belly mouth do tho

[@drby163]

​@@cooldude2722 F long neck, marry belly face and kill dogman imo

[@keithredacted8154]

Karina managing to make a giant face on an enormous torso cute is so wild.

[@Allesef]

Nathan, the nice one, while doing a goofy impression: "I've never given up on anyone before, but you're really pushing it"

[@artemis3392]

I can't believe our good friend Jacob just covered himself in olive oil right before this episode

[@DarkblueIbanez]

Jacob got that baldur's gate lighting

[@HyunjinnieFerret]

I love putting my phone to the side while Drawfee videos play as background noise while I’m drawing or something and then looking at what they’re drawing and being utterly terrified and shocked at what happened when I wasn’t looking

[@yovelnaomi8416]

It’s never an image I expect 10/10 experience 👍

[@Sedecious]

Drawfee Show's really been drawfin' these past few (idk how many, maybe like 200) epsiodes. Especially the editting, it feels like theres been huge leaps in all areas (including Jacob "Jacob Drawfee" Drawfee's shiny skin). Great art, and thank you Nathan for not giving the Jinmenken a butthole (antithesis of Sonic). ❤❤❤

[@Ttoby89]

we were all held in suspense for minutes on end, let's not lie

[@marginaliana]

I was really wondering about Nathan's potential butthole choice, but he stayed classy... for this show's value of classy, anyway.

[@evergreenxo]

jacob are you expecting? you’re GLOWING

[@jennareynolds1403]

Oh Hitman~

[@PURPLE_G0J0]

*Nathan’s Goofy impression sounds like Hank Hill trying to impersonate Goofy*

[@isa_bean]

the editing has been extra spicy lately!! loving it!

[@Lute0x01]

We are but one step away from Touhou characters based only on description.

[@grammar_ash]

yesssss, gimme Rodan and Destroyah and the psychic twins from Mothra

[@dupolup]

Like... Touhou Project?

[@hankwimbleton3119]

Yes! I want to see them draw Yuuka Kazami as a literal flower in plaid

[@LuckySketches]

I always thought it was weird that the anime girl company and the giant monster company have the same name. ...You know what? Tohou anime girls fused with Tohou monsters. The crossover nobody would expect.

[@shirleymaemattthews4862]

I would like to see that. But the info of kitsunes divusing themselves to tell people to cla their butts is nust wild...💀

[@NailArtMom]

God lord the thumbnail changed when I refreshed my “watch later” list to get the correct order. That freaked me out way to much 🤣

[@TheMaddiemynci]

I can't believe the multiple man-faced dogs in Jojo's had folkloric precedent

[@TigirlakaLaserwolf6]

always love the based on description episodes! can't wait!

[@calicothecappuccinogurl9874]

The lil animated transitions were very fun, the noise was maybe like 20% too much and woulda been fun to see them a bit more personalized to each member but I still LOVE em so please continue with em if its not too much trouble to edit

[@ashipre]

i really love the rendering style of nathan's! the limited palette and strong blacks for the shadows are so good to look at, and the shine on the trash cans and trash are really nice details! its the kind of art that i see and then want to try that style because oh its very good to look at

[@eliteunicorns]

I was gonna comment about how shiny Jacob is looking but everyone already has. Anyways...the videos are feeling more high production lately. Not an insult, the videos just feel so snazzy. The transitions??? Very cool!

[@tylerc5021]

David is killing it.

[@eliteunicorns]

@@tylerc5021 I know right!

[@kinder._.surprise]

woah I'm so early that the video is still shiny, wait nvm it was just Jacob's moisturized skin

[@VyperByteX]

I didn't know I needed to see the stay puft marshmallow man with goofy as his torso until now.

[@Kass-bb9um]

i have a massive crush on every single one of these 4 people

[@justincain2702]

I love the part of every drawfee video where all of the characters are in the same cinematic universe. Now I get why the avengers was successful.

[@jacobi1564]

you failed to acknowledge the jinmenken would already be in the bathroom drinking toilet water like a dog, but just being super loud and messy since he has a human face

[@George_vv]

Fun fact: Disneyland had a parade which was completely themed to Goofy and was a total fever dream. There were these weird golf ball Goofys that looked exactly like Karina's Yokai and that's scary...

[@squarrot9355]

jacob is kind of a golden boy, and honestly we dont think about that enough

[@peachreneau9857]

I cannot BELIEVE we got through the entire drawing of the jinmenken with no mention of Iggy JJBA.

[@bareboneartist]

How dare Jacob be this beautiful

[@mollystewart740]

Suggestion: I'm taking a Folklore grad course about legends this semester, and we've read about a bunch, like Bloody Mary and the Vanishing Hitchhiker and the alligators in the NY sewers! What if you drew some of your favourite local legends?

[@dinoash]

Just wanted to say that after watching y'all for a few years, I finally drew for the first time. It's actually super fun and I'm kinda proud of what I did lol I always appreciate the great content and vibes

[@nekonyx]

Jacob looking so hydrated

[@loser-nobody]

Jacob's tactic was to be as relatable as possible by simply being so reflective we literally see ourselves in him! Too bad it doesn't work with a camera in the way...

[@Psychroclasm]

It's been two months, but there's still no "Your Haradashi is Disney's Goofy and He Gives Up on You ASMR" video anywhere that I can find.

[@leopoldbloom4296]

Right out the gate I said out loud "it's an archipelago" as the text appeared on the screen. Once again David's one step ahead of me. I bet it'd be lovely to meet them and have a (chit-)chat

[@Lonely_Raven_666]

Jacob your skin is glowing!! Skincare tips ? Pretty please ?

[@clare5688]

He talks about it on SSS I’m pretty sure

[@Yttrium393b]

I always appreciate a good My Cousin Vinny reference, ty David for including the pic

[@icepawtheyugiohdumbass9955]

Never thought id have to cross "drawfee draws manjimutt" off my 2024 bingo card

[@mermer6160]

The "pissing all by yourself handsome" had me dying

[@debrisplease]

David is crushing it with the new transitions

[@starvalkyrie]

Nathan produced a dog with a human face like he'd been asked to pass the salt.

[@OpalDrake11]

Episode suggestion: artists draw obscure dinosaurs they've never heard of, by name only, OR by someone trying to describe them/vibes

[@ccherry.berryy]

1:05 the way that I thought he’d say “but unfortunately I died and you got framed for murder” because I was automatically thinking of AA chronicles when he said “smuggled in luggage” 1:15 THERE IT IS

[@alexfolmer2204]

The ease with which Karina just pulled out Goofy's face is almost scary. No reference, first try, absolutely perfect goofy.

[@Chaz1871]

A creature that gets bigger as you look up at it is kind of cool.

[@AceiestArtist]

My personal fav yokai is the ittan-momen - it's a malevolent piece of cloth that flies through the air to smother people. I just think the concept is silly. There are so many 'everyday object came to life and is a nuisance/tries to do a murder' yokai (called tsukumogami) and I love all of them.

[@daytman1524]

Jacob's "I can't possibly answer that" to Julia around 13:00 is probably my favorite thing ever.

[@itstrickyproductions]

Not gonna lie, I’ve been having a rough mental health week, and that goofy-bellied yokai and y’all’s commentary had me laughing out loud. So thank you for that!

[@shakai13]

I was absolutely desperate to see the Goofy face on the tummy when Jacob read the description.. Thank you for delivering.

[@mrcheshire104]

I wasn't gonna say anything about Jacob being especially shiny today but I guess we're all going with it

[@anajolinchen]

Liked the added animations for the transitions but much like Julia hates mouth noises the slushy gloopy sound this transition made, especially as loud as it was, gave me goosebumps...

[@emily_232]

What only kitsune makes you stronger, won’t be growing taller.

[@faroshscale]

3:17 there's a scene from bee and puppycat involving kittens that goes almost exactly like this and it's just as funny

[@PredictedCyborg]

Good use of last year's Karina Halloween avatar there. xD

[@Miss_All_Sundays]

I need a second round of yokais, this episode was hilarious and there's so many goofy ones.

[@chance9512]

"We're doing this for yourown good, HAHA!" That's potentially the most menacing thing I've ever heard.

[@milkbox103]

jacob is unsettlingly shiny yes but even more unsettling is that he only blinks once throughout the entire announcement

[@SomeOtherBots]

This was an awesome idea for an episode! Yokai are so cool! Please return to them.

[@hugojardmo4746]

"Have you tried drinking more alone?" Me, on my fourth beer of the night, "I do feel slightly called out... but fair"

[@karebear81184]

If I were participating in an activity involving a random drawing from a deck of cards and, after much anticipation, I got all the way to the point of card selection, myself and everyone around me knowing the single card I really don't want to see, and then I drew that *exact* card, I would certainly feel quite THE FOOL

[@homunculi0408]

Concept for a new video challenge: Draw one of the Dread Powers from The Magnus Archives only using their names and what little description they give about them.

[@blazenhearts]

its always such a treat to see jacobs sweet face in the intro to the video :] he's so pretty

[@kristyw89]

The jinmenken running past you and then telling you to leave it alone and stop chatting it is EXACTLY my dog's behavior at the dog park. She loves to run around with dogs and chase other dogs but if they chase her, she becomes terrified.

[@JScotty4Reel]

Not sure if I just missed them on previous episodes, but those melty ice cream transitions between drawings are a really nice touch

[@aliengeo]

The sheepish tone in Jacob's voice when he has to explain that no, this yōkai doesn't kill you in a fantastical way connected to his magical abilities, he kills you the same way a human man would

[@kylec5211]

The goofy yokai did, in fact, help me out of a flu and twitter induced sadness. He hath done his job admirably!

[@zariasafonova7220]

Every time I see live action HD Jacob at the beginning of a Drawfee video I think that something went wrong with the recording

[@EbbermanEmily]

God the Jinmenken sounds terrifying. Anything that bothers you on roads at night gives me the absolute heebie-jeebies

[@ivythepotato2417]

Mentioning Yo-Kai Watch has unlocked a whole new set of late elementary school memories for me

[@mamazeta906]

I really hope Nathan's fabulous impressions during this episode doesn't demonetize it.

[@kiruppert]

I love that there's a spirit who is very tall, and is so proud of being very tall that the best way to beat them is to shrug and say "Eh. I've seen taller".

[@MarkusManon]

I didn't expect such strong Mickey and Goofy character work this episode. I feel invigorated

[@elizabethgasse5348]

I felt so called out listening to the roast of Karina doing her Neopets dailies while I, myself, was in the middle of doing my own Neopets dailies.

[@brennanperry8001]

Jacob is yassified in the intro.

[@phoebelewis2790]

fuck,,, jacob looks gorgeous today wth

[@Katalabar]

The one time I actually pay attention to the episode instead of just listening and flicking back to see the drawings every so often I see "Archipelago to the polls" in the intro, what a blessed day.

[@theomenvt]

One of my favorite yokai is from the urban legend of Turbo Bachan, translated as Turbo Granny. If you drive along the highways late at night, you might catch a glimpse of an old lady running in your rearview mirror. She'll then run alongside your car and knock on windows to try to get you to look. And if you do, you crash. Mainly because you aren't looking at the road. There's a few different versions where she isn't malicious or only targets reckless drivers. She old lady who run fast.

[@lailedcat]

Cannot believe I’m hearing a yokai watch reference on drawfee. I went on an intensive language course in Japan and there was a karaoke room and for some reason our cohort did the yokai watch theme (complete with dance) near daily. Thank you for bringing up those precious memories

[@KarminCenteno]

jacob looks like a model

[@etherealaisling]

Ok but mental wellness goofy yokai did help me today. I’m having such a stressful time at work but nothing brings me peace like a drawfee Disney joke. 😌

[@PoucoHabilidoso]

Seriously I really really need a card game drawn by you guys
