Game Grumps Animated - Smash or Pass [2]

Since some of y'all wanted more, here's a part 2!
Reused some assets from the 1st one to make it easier on myself. There's not many camera angles I can work with here anyway since it all takes place in one room and the focus revolves around the pokemon on screen and the boys.
Hope you still enjoy it tho!

Hey guys, did you know? ...I already grabbed enough audio to make another one. But the question is - do you want a third of this? 🤔

[@philmorin8427]

YES PLEASE

[@superboomn]

YES

[@arcclone]

Yes

[@logicaloverdrive8197]

FUCK YEAH

[@stefanorarinsson5360]

Yes

[@7thHourFilms]

Mewtwo either looks like he wants to live a quiet life or has to create a fake family to achieve world peace.

[@Rammy_Latin]

OMG HE DOES LOOK LIKE LOID

[@SomeKindaHero117]

He looks like he's into hands 😂

[@SonicAlly45]

Is the second one a reference to Fate?

[@MegaZeta]

Mewtwo is one of those places like Pikachu where the joke behind this stream went a lot deeper into personal values than expected

[@ActuallySatan]

​@@SonicAlly45 No, it's Spy x Family. But I can see that, too.

[@logicaloverdrive8197]

"I think, even in a one night stand, he would be a selfish lover." "SO?!" Ally is fun

[@Zathren]

I was gonna say she might need therapy. 😂

[@smugsneasel]

I miss Ally, Tails. I miss her a lot. I'll be back...

[@stoodmuffinpersonal3144]

I miss her so much 😂😢❤

[@joelrobinson5457]

I think she thinks mewtwo would be as well

[@ItchRevenge92]

We might have found someone who's more sub than Arin

[@NealPizziniAnimations]

Hell yeah! You could honestly make 10 of these, and they'd never get old. Your character designs rule!

[@stoodmuffinpersonal3144]

Seriously. I could eat um up like popcorn.

[@t.c.thompson2359]

Love see the Fenniken line as they both smashed every stage.

[@ntm4]

Dan: Pass. That's the moon. Sokka: Now, wait a minute.

[@finalunusedname]

Dan: Okay, then, smash. Sokka: *Now, wait a minute!*

[@jamesthiel2628]

That's rough, buddy.

[@DecafInvidia]

Ally for pokemon they don't choose: "You gotta smash." Ally for Pokemon they do choose: "It's a smash." *under her breath*

[@TheRealChristopherB]

I love how your designs just totally capture "the vibe" of each Pokémon. Like I see them and I'm like "Yup, that's Eevee".

[@jiv3o275]

They're also super hot

[@resileaf9501]

All of Allie's contributions to these episodes were gold, and you're animating her moments so well :D

[@bananadog6420]

True, Allie's a treat

[@jacobg6628]

These animations would be less without Allie's inclusion. Even just her in the corner writing notes as the grumps say smash or pass is funny, but then she gets PERSONALLY offended by some choices.

[@umbra1016]

And yet so many people gave her a hard time for other episodes. Like, c'mon. I miss Allie and wish she was still part of the team.

[@TempestuousInquiry]

I'll always find "Pass, it's the moon" hilarious

[@peterlaursen5722]

thats rough buddy

[@miguelnewmexico8641]

@@peterlaursen5722 is this a reference to a jape i don't remember from the video, or are you just being a bumpin grass ho?

[@TacComControl]

Which is funny because Dan is on record saying he wants to have sex with space.

[@SuperSilver7591]

IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE WE LOVE KIRBY OTAKU HERE 💜💚

[@stoodmuffinpersonal3144]

If I still had them, I'd seel my left NUT for more Kirby Otaku animations! But alas. I'm broke and nutless 😂

[@macdongr]

I would hope so, it's her channel.

[@TeamDusk215]

The way you draw eeveelutions made me say "Smash" in response and I wasn't even thinking about it.

[@blueshoals]

A KirbyOtaku animatic? How did you know what I wanted for Christmas?!? 😊

[@kirbyotaku]

I know a guy, he told me

[@poke548]

@@kirbyotaku _Gasp_ Was his name Santa?

[@aidenrichardson6439]

@@kirbyotaku tf2 heavy already got an upda-I’m joking, I just can’t mean like that to you. When the next upload/animatic? Have you gone on a hiatus?

[@Shuffle-Major-Arcana]

You have to animate it ALL, now. Anytime Allie chimes in, always cracks me up.

[@NateCummings]

Ally's Hill-Dying on MewTwo is so well captured here. Desperately fantastic. [Also that very first one had big Tionishia energy so idk that's kinda cheating for me]

[@sweetpea2604]

Her sliding on screen with that >:0 face really gets me

[@lucarioman9097]

God I love how every frame has so many references. I love the really obscure ones. You’re an absolute genius.

[@supershock5540]

Out of context you make them look insane for passing some of them and I love it 😂😂😂

[@Rangel695]

“MEWTWO IS THE HOTTEST POKÉMON” “That’s a smash for Allie” I remember those quote to this day 😂

[@Lucifersfursona]

The closeup of Allie going “it’s a smash” not dissimilar to how you’ve animated Ganondorf is my favorite bit 🤣

[@sweettea4556]

Man, all your gijinkas for all the Pokémon are SO CUTE I would love to see a third for those designs alone. Keep up the great work kirb ❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheShadow7771]

Love these gijinka concepts, especially the eeveelutions

[@Biggggg5]

The inhale faces are always so underrated 😂

[@bellflower1183]

1:05 Literally scared the hell out of me when I noticed Hex maniac behind Arin. P.s: This animation is amazing by the way! I love your content so much 💜

[@TheJourneyDude]

Came to say this but I thought it was Monika or something, haha.

[@zeddpool]

came to the comments to see if anyone else got jumpscared by that lol

[@KrinosMelodia]

I've revisited this video so many times, and only now noticed her. I immediately had to scroll through the comments to see how many other people noticed.

[@justivenhere4858]

I see Graveler's being a real man for making Nidorina faint for aksing her out.

[@unforeseeable2.058]

TurntSNACO’s got the charm

[@WeGoblinFolk]

0:26 It's me. I'm the tea goblin. I stole it. I'm not sorry and your threats are meaningless.

[@smugsneasel]

You're definitely someone who knows exactly what the fans want~

[@zapo5284]

0:03 I love the seductive Graveler at the start. TurntSnaco, the rizzard.

[@lancerofvoid]

onward to another round of "Stop making such good looking pokemon designs" hot damn that mewtwo mate 👀

[@TurboSax]

I agree with Ally. Even if Mewtwo is a selfish lover, you should be honored to have had the experience.

[@CourierDan]

Yeah, same guy who'd smash Pikachu for the clout, by the way.

[@Orchestrafanboy19]

Your character design is incredible, Kirby. You have a real skill for creating smashable humanoid Pokémon.

[@aknight7642]

Indeed.

[@dreamgsalgado9545]

YEES please do a part 3. All of the designs look just SO PRETTY, Chinchou and Flareon are my favorite so far.

[@OneCompleteNerd]

We need to start a fund to get the whole episode animated, these make me laugh so hard, more than the original GG eps, the visuals are very well done and just add to the humour.

[@shamchez5234]

Ayo the Jolteon at 1:48 thooooooo

[@Unownshipper]

Oh my GOD! I'm SO glad you did a part 2. This is incredibly funny in your art style, especially Righteous Indignation Allie. 🤣

[@bluelfsuma]

1:05 _I'm scared._ I'd love to see them do another Smash Or Pass with your designs. But, now that I think about it, they'd probably all be smashes.

[@superboomn]

"Pass that's the moon" i watched atla the moon could potentially get it

[@AlexofZippo]

Dude. I want you to know this, and I mean this with no hyperbole or exaggeration: you are my absolute favorite GG animator and I hop you never stop doing them. Your animations are so full of fun and whimsy and humor in every line you do. The blink and you’ll miss it micro-jokes, the facial expressions, it’s all top notch. Please never stop, lol. I will always watch.

[@MeonLights]

The background gag about the staple remover is so fun. It instantly brought back "his head is weird" xD

[@nlald]

I eagerly await Game Grumps Smash or Pass: Pokemon: The Animated Feature Film

[@astralfrog7397]

Only Kirby Otaku could make Miltank look so good

[@comhaltacht315]

These anthro designs are so cute and original! I've never seen anyone draw Lapras' shell-back as a gown before.

[@parkivich]

That Miltank design made me feel things I'm gonna have to think about. As usual, I had to watch a couple times to catch all the Grumps deep lore messages on the wall!

[@Rammy_Latin]

So happy you made a part 2! All the designs are so cute but I absolutely love the gijinkas for the eeveelutions! 💙

[@ksad96]

The little derp faces you draw on them when they inhale audibly are absolutely HILARIOUS and I love them

[@ArcRay20]

i will never tire of the silly faces you give them whenever they need to take an audible breath.

[@LAA_197]

Yoooo another Kirby Otaku animation my day got a lot better ☺️

[@Sorabotics]

We stan Loid "Mewtwo" Forger XD amazing animation as always!

[@matt.the.viewer]

I love Alliemolga so much I had to watch through twice, once for the story and once for the references Amazing work

[@CabinetClown]

1:00 CLOWN GIRL REPRESENTATION LETS GOOOO

[@zelzim_]

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY KIRBY OTAKU! Jokes aside lol, every time you post an animatic, (especially the GG ones) I always get this dumb smile on my face. Thank you for being you :)

[@EvionFox]

I adore your Pokemon designs, but my favorite bits are absolutely your animations of Allie's interludes. She is SUCH A MOOD. MEWTWO IS A SMASH ABSOLUTELY.

[@andrewpappas9311]

Always fun seeing your stuff, also agreed to the Smash on so many of them because they are all incredibly adorable (Mewtwoid Forger looking classy as hell and I'm also here for it)

[@uhhidk5474]

Yup yup yup A third one would be awesome

[@bluelumagaming]

The amount of skill you have to perfectly capture the personality and design of how Pokemon would look like if they were human is incredible and the added references mixed with an image of Kirby playing and chillin with each Pokemon is such a cute bonus. This part 2 is the perfect Christmas gift to us all. Bless your soul Kirby Otaku and I hope you have a wonderful holidays.🎄💙

[@michaelbreckshot6589]

I can't get over how hilarious Porygon looks

[@WarriorofRed]

I just realized: Sbassbeartic at 0:21. That's an amazing reference/mashup

[@venusstar2963]

I've never felt so justified in having Jolteon as my favorite Pokemon until now. Flareon and Misdreavus are also good.

[@remageek]

I love how you Gijinka all the pokemon, they look amazing

[@scorinth]

Dan's confused sputtering at the end is the best.

[@aemeth021221]

Oh, I love these. And I always love seeing the Emolga Allie

[@EnD3Rf0x]

All of your Pokegirl designs are just as incredible as they were last time, I love this! So cool to get a part two of the smash or pass videos, excellent work! Also, the background gags were just as tasteful as last time LMAO

[@MBeastModeZ0]

Allie having a mental breakdown over one Pokemon pass in this animation is pure gold.

[@jcace13]

These episodes really are the gift that keeps on giving.

[@lvlHive]

all the designs are peak perfection but lets take a moment to shout out Nidorina and Geodude i am so happy for them!!!

[@unforeseeable2.058]

That’s Graveller, and his name is TurntSNACO. It’s a reference to sassy Nidorina from their FireRed playthrough. But I’m happy for them too

[@cartooniste2z]

The sequel we never knew we needed! 🥰

[@jostayaboi6285]

1:14 that face animation killed me.

[@the_original_bri8107]

PORYGON LOOKS AMAZING 🤣🤣🤣🤣 1:55

[@ruggedlemmings9163]

God, seeing the reference to 9Ball Island made me remember just how ridiculous they were with that game. Great animation, btw! You've always been one of my all-time favorites when it comes to Grump Animators! Every now and then I'll go back to one of your Zelda animations because good lord the way you handled those scenes is hilarious! :D

[@suupimjosh]

Kirby I love how you turned Lapras into LAP-ASS, literally

[@DingDaily]

I Love the ghost reference @ 1:05! Your subtle details are always a treat

[@demoncross2428]

Yessss so happy you did a part 2 (and potentially 3. 👀) Your artstyle is sooooo good and I'd honestly love more of these. The Mewtwo bit was perfect and dayum, Lapras and Miltank tho 😳

[@andrewh.4866]

Every animation is a delight and we'd love it so much if you made a part 3! Your design is amazing as always. I don't think any other artist I know makes characters as desirable and cute as you~

[@keekoumeep7239]

"Maybe a jerk" bahaha - your Porygon design is so funny, especially in comparison to literally every other pokemon. You could make a million of these and I would enjoy every single one, they're so fun

[@jcudejko]

I'm a simple man I see Kirby Otaku, I watch the video 10 times and like (only once though) Great work as always, thanks for the clip and animation!!!!!!!!!!

I balme the holiday season craziness for missing this on release day. Happy to see that TurntSNACO was able to impress Nidorina with those rocks of his.

[@Midnight-Starfish]

I'm just realizing that KirbyOtaku's persona is literally just anime girl Kirby... It took a bloody smash or pass video for me to see it.

[@DeliciousOrange]

You're really smashing it with these videos!

[@kaeldavidson6898]

I love how she was like "idc if he's a selfish lover! Look atim! No one better to be used by!!!" She didn't say that, but holy crap the energy was there, and ngl, I fully agree with the notion

You’re a genius at making the best cuties 😂🩷 also I nearly missed the spooky ghost, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me XD

[@mr.l8723]

I feel like Mewtwo would be a sugar daddy situation😂

[@thelivingglitch1371]

I’d love to date the Kangaskhan mom, and the Lapras gal. I’d love to be friends with the Girafarig gal, since she looks like a cute clown gal. The Mewtwo looks like a mix of Astarion and Yoshikage Kira. The Miltank gal is top tier. Would definitely smash. Hug the Eevee gals and I’d love to be friends with Jolteon.

[@coolgamer122]

love seeing all the references, and all the cute/handsome mons

[@7th_phoenix546]

You picked the perfect Pokémon for them to represent, they all have the exact same energy as the Pokémon. They’re dressed as.

[@TheCthultist]

Kirby, please, there’s too much. Between the art, the posters, and the outfits you put everyone in, there’s just too much to love about this one!

[@czervo4634]

It is mandatory to watch your animations twice. Once to enjoy the scene, and a second to pause every 1.2 seconds to see what absurd gems are in the background. The twenty times after that are for my own benefit.

[@Slightly_Decent]

I got really into Grumps during middle school and stuck with it all the way through high school, but eventually it just lost the charm it once had along the way. I still think they're funny, but part of me couldn't get over how "corporate" it started to feel after a point. Regardless even if I don't hold the same love for the channel as I used to, I'll always love your animations Kirby. The amount of references you put into every animation is so endearing because it shows we're all a bunch of dorks that can recall every video of theirs from memory. Wishing you the best and even though this is late I hope everyone had a wonderful new year.

[@LycanLink]

One of my greatest joys as a Lovely is pausing KO's videos to see all the great GG references. 🥰

[@dystopyxrose]

I was constantly pausing just to enjoy all the effort put into this! Wonderful!
