He said Goosebumps 2 not Ghostbusters 2

[@FraserConnell]

Hahaha holy shit!!! I cannot believe that! Hahah that’s a proper fuck up that is 😂😭

[@governor_explosion]

Fraser Connell It’s okay! I giggled at the references to ghost sex that you added- I’m surprised that it’s never been addressed in the other Ghostbusters movies or the comics.

Griffin overestimating his ability to hold his own in a fight against a group of animals is MBMBAM's strangest running goof.

I actually did learn the answer to this recently, vis-a-vis monkeys at the aquarium. it's because they live in rainforests, and that ecosystem is directly linked to the ocean. it does still seem kinda odd, but that's what the penguin lady told me and it does makes sense

[@SkylordProductionz]

"the penguin lady"

[@Ladililn]

DOES it make sense? What does it mean that the rainforest is "directly linked" to the ocean? Technically ALL ecosystems are directly linked to the ocean.

[@jm98]

@@Ladililn monkeys just like looking at fish

[@Ladililn]

@@jm98 okay, THAT makes sense

[@livendus]

@@Ladililn The reason is that aquariums, terrariums and jungle exhibits all require advanced climate and temperature control in closed environments, so it makes sense they'd be under the same roof and that an aquarium would be able to host a monkey jungle. Also monkeys just like looking at fish.

[@TRquiet]

Yes, this was a great animation with cool background jokes... ...but I cannot get past how all three of these educated men think primates don’t have thumbs.

shit they do tho?

[@coffin7904]

opposable thumbs not just thumbs

[@locklanh]

Yesterday I said the word"Doritos" out loud and a whole mess o' monkeys jumped me. I wasn't even on a ding-dang monkey mountain. I was alone in my room.

[@FraserConnell]

Should’ve had a broom handy

[@bigidiotdumbstupidguy9329]

It’s a really good party trick if anything. “Hey I bet you 20$ I can summon monkeys.” Everyone goes silent because of this ridiculous statement. People laugh and throw 20s in a pile. Then, a la Cris Angel, you have a big dramatic preamble to you saying after a long inhale, “dorito”. And 30 assorted monkeys break down every door and window in the place, beat you to a pulp, leave, then you pass go and collect 200$. Go on America’s got talent. Become a famous busker. Genius.

[@ellathompson3090]

@@bigidiotdumbstupidguy9329 then when you’re a busker you can stand in zoo enclosures when the animals are being sad

[@midnightarmonia]

This is seriously outstanding. The shapes of their mouths as they speak is unbelievable! The way the teeth touch the bottom lip whenever there’s an “f” in a word! It’s so meticulous and thoughtful. Not to mention just how *much* is going on in the scenes themselves. Thank you for sharing your delightful work!!

[@dunemaroon]

this is so good (as always) and you're a visionary. A+ marmosets. it makes me so happy to see a full fucking 11! minute! animation for the question i sent in! also fyi the enclosure you drew is like scary accurate for a cartoon it really enriches the storytelling

[@FraserConnell]

WHAAT!! You sent in the question? That’s so cool! And yeah I used a load of reference images of indoor marmoset enclosures so I knew to put in a tonne of ropes :p

[@dunemaroon]

yes it is I the monkey intern. and also yes! the aquarium in question is in tynemouth, i commute there from newcastle. i honestly don't know why on earth we have monkeys, but who am I to look a gift marmoset in the mouth?

[@FraserConnell]

I love the internet haha this is so cool :) next time I’m up in Newcastle I’ll visit!! (I’m in Liverpool)

"Aquarium Monkeys see a lot of thumb" is a sentence that lives rent free in my mind

[@jackdawproduciones8897]

try as i might, i just cannot watch that busker doin his lil' flossdance without grinning like a total goon

[@detlenniebriscoe]

"Monkey wine" kills me. Great work, super long but with some really cute bits, the fighting animation especially.

[@pinklemonade3367]

I think their nose shape really represents how congested they all constantly sound

[@user-xv1cs9mm9d]

Underrated comment

[@Animallovercomedian]

Some of my favorite parts of mbmbam is when they don’t factcheck pretty well known things. Like uh... monkeys have opposable thumbs

[@uwuppa]

something about having a sinus infection turned griffin into an intimidating, monkey-adverse villain for this episode.

[@lawrencecalablaster568]

I've been watched a lot of these videos lately and it seems more and more like The McElroy brothers are just differently-pitched versions of one another.

[@FraserConnell]

This is accurate

[@zach5539]

Griffin's *not me* with his sick voice is probably the most action star moment he'll ever have on the podcast

[@platinumboi88]

“How many small monkeys could you fight Griffin at one time” might be the funniest question I’ve ever heard in my life 😂

[@DustyTheKitty]

Work in there with a costume for a month, be like employee of the month material, become a beloved attraction to the tourists But you have the money for a second costume, rough it up, stain it with ketchup. One day just leave this beaten up costume on the floor of the enclosure with the head hanging from a branch. Don't really have an end game for this but yeah, freak some people out!

[@noraunhappy]

I’m so glad that I’m pretty sure I know the exact monkey mountain park that Griffin is talking about, and can attest to the many signs telling you that the monkeys will attack you if you even look at them wrong.

When you meme so hard you accidentally come up with Lamarck's theory of evolution.

[@chikentori]

My favourite part of these animatics is seeing the jokes that the animator miss-interprets, or sometimes, just completely misses. It's really interesting to see how other breakdown the same media differently

[@aceghost1074]

Me actually having to look up "what primates have opposable thumbs." I got duped for just a second into forgetting something I've known my entire life that most monkeys have thumbs.

11 minutes?! Hot damn! Great as usual. 💞

[@swordude40]

The table shot where our sweet brothers slowly turn to face each other is adorably unsettling

[@BenofLaMancha]

I felt like I was having some kind of stroke when I listened to this, since as a Texan, I... literally know the exact, precise place they're talking about! When I lived in Newcastle-upon-Tyne for a couple years, the Blue Reef Aquarium in Tynemouth, with its unexpected but extensive tiny monkey exhibit. Like, so many marmosets for an aquarium.

[@caperclaw]

"Dinos are cool!" "Oh no! I'm being eaten!"

[@dr.delbertdoppler6281]

They missed such a clear opportunity for a "firearms" joke! Anyway, amazing animation! I can't imagine how much work it must've taken you to make eleven minutes, especially with so much detail. The mouth movement during dialogue was spot on, and I love your animation style! I'm always hyped to see your videos show up on my recommended list. You're awesome! :^)

[@Jukajobs]

they're right about monkeys being very ready to do anything for human food. i used to go to a school that was near a forest and had lots of trees in it, and lots of monkeys - mostly marmosets, in fact, but some bigger ones too. and one time a monkey (of the bigger type, a little bigger than a cat maybe?) stole my friend's iced tea through the classroom window while she wasn't looking, just put its paw in there while climbing/jumping past and took it away. they're very smart, but they largely use that intelligence to figure out how to steal our food
