Glad to see so many fans itching to see the conclusion to Tightwad's slashing of the budget :) And for our generous Patreon supporters, next month's episode of "TF2 Analysis: Red vs Green" is now available to view: www.patreon.com/posts/106695862?pr=true

[@coltonbell8284]

@DRWolf001 if I might ask how were you okay with the Gore when Tightwadd cut Lawyers from the Budget?

[@spectrumscribble1498]

Red vs. Green? Sounds pretty interesting, Doc. Can't wait to see what that's about.

[@devonbickett349]

Tight Wad's fortunate I wasn't involved because that Colt would be a side of well done and extra crispy Horse meated Steak 😤🤬

[@lightning-bliss]

@@coltonbell8284 Because it's a Parody series to a video game called TF2, that is rated M for Mature. A game that has explosions, violence and gore galore. A little blood in the series ain't gonna hurt anyone XD

[@Evil_Angel_520]

You should totally find someone to be merasmus for the series

[@finnthepony]

Well, there you have it folks! We managed to break the show apart piece by piece! I hope you all had a fun time, I hope Tightwad was a fun character and I hope you all, indirectly, learned about all the effort it takes to make these babies. ^w^ We wouldn't have our little show without everyone working hard on it. :) And yet even when literally everything is gone, the heart still remains. :D

[@SuperHurricane]

I'm just hoping the deer lawyer was patched back together as well. I mean, it's odd nothing similar happened to Jasper since he's also a lawyer, but the deer was just doing his job. Also liked how the pyros got a deep sense of satisfaction creating their own fires with just stones and sticks.

[@agent_red108]

This was very interesting finn and im glad things are back to normal or as normal as it can be lol

[@KororaPenguin]

And Tightwad's relapse in this two-parter reflects what G. K. Chargerton said about madponies combining "an expanded, exhaustive reason and a contracted common sense."

[@370H-SSV]

Welp I’m glad the budget got restored. And tightwad isn’t going to go overboard again. But hey it could be worse. He could have been replaced by AI

[@jacobschmutz245]

Well, that is a good ending. Also, Finn, Tightwad needs to take a class on Self Control when it comes to money. Maybe that way, he can be a way better money manager.

[@Gungelion]

Yeahhhhhh, From a strictly pragmatic point of view, Saving money doesn't really matter much when it ends up preventing you from MAKING That money in the first place.

[@kaijuguy19]

Exactly. It's a good cautionary tale for anyone trying to be smart with how one spends momeny. Especially certain movie companies.

[@SilverScribe85]

Tell that to the government and all the network TV execs who are currently running their companies into the ground

[@ericb3157]

reminds me of a Dilbert comic, where he said, "you have to spend money to make money,." the PHB replied with something utterly dumb, like "we don't have ANY money to spend at all.."

[@aurabender150]

To quote a purple hatted agent of chaos who "crashes parties", "You gotta spend money to make money."

A moment with Doctor wolf with Tightwad

[@NewController01]

that was what I was thinking as well

[@shadowldrago]

It never ocurred to me that Tightwad's lack of a Cutie Mark was a deliberate character creation choice. Dang.

[@thebardofshale304]

Now I'm curious about Tightwad's backstory.

[@geekyforever3387]

@@thebardofshale304here, here

[@ladyalmathea7610]

What if he somehow gambled his Cutie Mark away to Starlight Glimmer, back when she was still a villain. After that happens, what if that's how Finn found Tightwad, weakened to a great degree after losing his mark? I smell headcanon stories from this idea... Fanfic Writers, TO YOUR KEYBOARDS! ⌨️

[@thebardofshale304]

@@ladyalmathea7610 That's a good one, though apparently Finn and Tightwad have been friends since they were kids. My personal idea is that his cutemark was lost as part of a debt of some kind. Remember his words to Doc about "losing where you live." Perhaps this obsession with money came from his family living in debt.

[@ladyalmathea7610]

@@thebardofshale304 Well, just because they've been friends since childhood doesn't mean they've been together since then. Maybe the incident with the loss of his Cutie Mark happens later on in life, during a time when the two of them are apart, but stay in touch through constant letters. Perhaps the incident with Starlight happens not long after as Tightwad somehow ended up in Starlight's village in an attempt to escape from those he was indebted to? Maybe she promised him riches, or a way to be rid of his debt?

This went so effing meta, my brain went Kaboom like Josh's outro. Also, Doc, you're the kind of therapist I need IRL. lol

[@ugly-duckling123]

Tightwads money saving ideas and results reminds me of an olf 'House of Mouse' episode where Scrooge McDuck comes to the club and tries to save money everywhere he can For example, the big wide wasting money and electricity video screen, is switched for a simple small box television

[@sethcarlow8363]

i was thinking the same thing.

[@victorhernandez8723]

If Tightwad cuts the budget so much that he reduces the cast to cut outs on popsicle sticks, I gonna be really angry!

[@spectrumscribble1498]

Oh, I see your being really angry and I'll raise you a couple of Heavy weapons if you wanna tag along. (Hefts up a pair of tommy guns and tosses one over)

[@wickedkat2635]

The title of this should really be "How to crush the souls of creativity" I feel really bad for Bliss, Thespio, Jasper and everyone else who worked on this series

[@revaslatts4301]

Even the title cards? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh no, Tightwad, have mercy on the narrator and everyone-- I'M BEGGING YOU KINDLY!!!! 🙏

Glad you and Finn took care of that problem Doc. Because if you didn't I would have put Tightwad out of his misery and ours.

[@pnevmastudio6968]

Bro did we go psychonauts and went into TightWad's mind?

[@drewluczynski9609]

24:50 Yeah, I’m pretty sure at least half of them should remember what happens to trespassers back when he lived in the base.

[@KororaPenguin]

*POW!*

[@KubatheChangeling]

Lesson learned: "Never trust the wrong person to handle money budget. Or else, you'll ruin the reality and continuity of the series. And we'll probably end up with someone as worst as David Zaslav.

[@BrandonSilverFoxBishop]

Another Lesson Learned From Tightwad: "Money Is The Square Root Of all Evil."

[@berengerdietiker22]

"A Tight Budget" is better than some feature-length animated films and animated TV series I've seen.

[@LegendPurpleDragon152]

Well this was an interesting turn of events. Going from TF2 Analysis Anarchy, and instead making an episode of “The Bottle Show (bottle sold separately), written by Cheapy the Cheapskate!” In all seriousness, hilarious, heartwarming, and fun episode guys.

[@selectordetector6573]

Well remember how I said Tightwad might be the greatest villian that they could face.... Well I might have been wrong on that...

[@Spyro757]

3:20 this shell have a special place in my heart

[@ShaneamationMedia]

Tightwad here kind of reminds me of Mr. Nezzer from Rack, Shack and Benny. Not a bad man. He's just gets confused. Love the part near the end where we get to learn more about Tightwad and Finn's friendship. Way to go.

Even at the end of everything, Dr. Wolf will always be there to help. As much as Tight Wad made me angry, it is nice to hear why he did what he did and admit his flaws. Also, him and Finn are so cute together.

[@rayvond1x692]

This is one of thee very intersecting moments of my own understanding in my own life thus... there's a point in time and a place for everything. But, yet, thus, however, it is good to see the error of your ways as well as your thoughts of powers come and thrives, even now with every meaning of power's come with greater responsibilities as well for a certain point of view. And at the end, everything turns out a okay, and we all have to take maters full control yet a hole mind sight of thee situation on the route topic at hand and / or rather what's port of a signature with a description's could have or should have made... (I'll stop right her cuz I'll tip every decades for ME to for filled the form. -m-) But anyway,...

[@370H-SSV]

Not even out of the gate. And we lost the budget completely

[@lorguillerbacong9150]

For this new manager for CoalTown that Finn brought in, I hope he doesn't go crazy with power. Based on what we saw in the last episode, a person's contract can kill anyone if he cuts the paper. So I hope he doesn't abuse his power since I theorized that this person is working for the organization, which was teased at the end of Let Get Down To Business, part 2. Or maybe he is the villain entirely. But I will give it to see in this EP tomorrow.

[@treykenley3499]

We all know people with bad habits. Some are able to keep them in check with a little help from a friend or a little self-control. While others are just bad people who justify their actions despite how bad it gets and seeing the trouble it causes for themselves or others. We all need just that one person who we can trust to help keep ourselves grounded and not get carried away. To lose that one person who has been seeing you through it all is the worst feeling since it all falls upon themself. Change only really works if they stick to it and not do it for a time, only to say, 'well I tried' and go back to their old self. It's not easy. Ever. I was really expecting for when those two were in the Void tor Tightwad to say "I'm a terrible Pony." Because he was expressing all the topics and emotions one goes through when they come to that realization. That is the true first step in beginning to become better. Taking fault in your own actions and seeing the effects with no veil of justification, A plain view of all their works and consequences. When one does do that, it is then our own choice on if we want to give them another chance, provide assistance, or turn them away for good. I will not say the right answer since that is a case-by-case basis with a plethora of factors. Everyone has their limit. And some never get anything back once it's broken. And for those who do and try as hard as they can, life is hard. We all got to try harder then to make it that much better for a day.
