"Griffin the Political Guy" -MBMBAM Animatic

[@Duplacorn]

Griffin should be wearing a pink tie rather then blue to show his support for the party rock anthem to the country

[@sylph8005]

If the majority of Representatives were Griffin’s political allies, the Party Rock would be in the House tonight

[@sethescope]

​@@sylph8005this got a chuckle from me lol

[@psyducktective]

“Well I didn’t not say it wasn’t” Spoken like a true political guy

I never realize just how surreal some of these bits are until they’re animated.

[@JericholicTrey]

How do you ever like anything Travis does? He is singularly the worst thing about any podcast he is on. He sucks so hard it makes me want to drown myself in a toilet. He was almost tolerable as Magnus, but continually made ever thing about himself. Typical middle child and the absolute worst.

[@Duck-mn8xp]

I love the sound and face Travis makes after that.

[@BucklingSwashes]

Justin's bit-ender is one of my absolute favorites in MBMBAM history, mostly because of how perfectly Travis and Griffin play along.

[@Kuaheak2018]

You can also hear justin use the silly voice when travis "gets on the stage" meaning he sat on the bit for a second

[@Overcrox]

Griffin, in the distance: "It's taking so long [unintelligible]!"

[@Abigail_Monteith]

@@Kuaheak2018 yeah lol I think the noise of him slapping the stage was actually supposed to be the noise of him rushing up to warn them

[@nom5358]

Justin slipping "from Quibi" into his faux-journalist intro is such a tickling little under-the-radar element here. great work as always, Geo!

[@Fem_Witch]

"Listen to the song 'get back up again' from trolls 2!" *fires everyone*

[@infinikki]

The reason the IRL McElboys don't look like they sound is because I expect them to look EXACTLY like this.

[@subparproductions2852]

They kinda do look like this tho

[@GrixieKong]

8:40: my head tells me that Justin’s foley sound effects were supposed to be him running up to the podium, but my HEART tells me it’s fussy Justin slapping his hands on the stage.

Good old Gillup McElroy. Truly the only trustworthy one.

[@freddiewithanie4479]

God the "I'm gonna do my very best to ruin my brother's joke" is such a good mbmbam bit.

The noise he made was definitely the embodiment of "yesn't".

[@redandpurple317]

"Good evening." "Oh, no."

[@abj6920]

The "DAWHhhh" and the "nyæ-heh" convey such different energies despite both deflecting a Travis question

[@danielgriffin9895]

Travis just recently started the bit about the mutant animals with abs bit... It's a wonder that's been mulling around in his head for the past 2-3 years 😂

[@2winks538]

[@SquishyOwlBear]

Abnimals references so long ago, Travis has been long obsessed with them indeed

[@spacetearable]

This is just...my favorite cold opening of all time. Griffin takes a MASSIVE swing, Justin 'yes, and...'s like the pro he is, and Travis 'YES, AND NOW IT'S MINE' like the psychopath we all know and love. Seemless, amazing, hysterical. "Have-have, have you ~heard~ the song!? Next, next question."

[@mayac1105]
