50 words to describe birds | MBMBaM Animation

[@YpsylonFunMagazine]

its funny how they dunk on travis for not giving adjectives and griffin says 'up'

[@seanthebluesheep]

What, you're saying up can't be used as a visual reference? You've never asked where something was and been told "look up"? The question asker's question was what words come to mind when thinking of birds visually. You are a buffoon, a clown, and an all-round klutz. Shame on you, shame on your family, and shame on those who thought you honorable.

[@NomadicArchives]

Sean Rea it’s not an adjective though

[@YpsylonFunMagazine]

@@seanthebluesheep Travis says "beak" and they both make fun of him, even though birds do have beaks. however, "up" was accepted without question. seeing how they both are not adjectives, how is "up" a more acceptable answer than "beak"? is beak not a more bird related word? all birds have beaks, but not all birds can fly. all im saying is i think griffin is misusing his power. thank you for coming to my ted talk

[@seanthebluesheep]

@@YpsylonFunMagazine Travis should not have been silenced either.

[@soupalex]

Griffin said friggin "worms". He has no leg to stand on judging the others' bird words

[@24601st]

he can because no one challenged him

[@gildahobbs8829]

THANK YOU I don't support Griffin's self-assigned authority to deny the others' suggestions

[@TheMrVengeance]

@@TBLIVIN - Why though. Describe a bird visually. Birds have beaks. What's wrong with beak?

[@TheMrVengeance]

@@TBLIVIN - Ehh.. yes, they can? That's literally a category of nouns called *attributive nouns.* 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@TheMrVengeance]

@@TBLIVIN - Humans don't have lips? You can't look at a human and see that a descriptive feature of their appearance is that they have lips?

@drew13600 Yes they are! They are under the classification dinosaurae! You fool!

I think he did say "You guys don't know what adjectives are" or something to that effect. Maybe the wording was slightly different, but I definitely did get the impression he was talking about both of them

[@anshuldinger1425]

[@michaelwilson9037]

@@anshuldinger1425 when you start and end with the same phrase or motif, it is said to bookend the piece, and so the list of birds would be bookended with the word beak, thus beak-ended.

I'd say it's impressive that this ONLY took you two months. The level of effort on most of the birds is amazing.

[@melmaltby3073]

For real though, I thibk this is one of my favourite mbmbam animations I have ever seen; your style is cool as hell and adds so much to the mcelboy's bits, but ESPECIALLY this one. Thank xou for this!!!

[@karabirb]

I will not stand for the fact that Griffin dunked on Travis for saying “beak” then turned around and said fucking “WORMS” That aside, this is one of my fav bits, and it’s at least 50% Bc I originally found it through this animation. It’s so good, really brings it to life! Great job :)

From the mouths to the GREY/gray note to the bird vape to the other activities, this is amazing and I would watch your kids’ show done in this style. You’re always showing such amazing new techniques and styles and we are #blessed to see them 💜
