crows are actually really smart, I would honestly not be surprised if one was actually able to discern you were mad at it and try and bring you shiny gifts to apologise

[@LoreleiBlaine]

related fact: corvids are vocal mimics just like parrots and can copy human words (I've heard of a pair of crows at a sanctuary who literally enunciate the word "caw" at people who visit because it's been said to them so often)

[@scoobysnax]

thank you for crow facts

[@garfieldbrooks]

it's true crows are extremely intelligent. my grandma is friends with the crows living around her neighborhood and she feeds them peanuts so she keeps extra peanuts in her car to feed them on the go and the crows remember what her car looks like and follow her when she drives until she feeds them. they're pretty chill and sweet actually and they hang out in her backyard so much that we can differentiate between them now and have given some of then nicknames.

[@kittecat963]

@@garfieldbrooks my grandma used to feed crows and call them her chickens. It's been years since she passed but we still find random shiny things, like bottle caps and broken vase parts, on her grave. It's only her grave and there's always crows around.

[@finalfroggitapproaches6418]

I made friends with the trio of crows in my neighborhood, and they are terrifyingly smart. If I get home from work late or otherwise don’t feed them on time, one will sit on the ledge by my bathroom window and bang his beak on the glass. Another one has learned English. Every time I go outside to feed them I call “Sweet baaaaabieees~” and one will now repeat it over and over while he paces around waiting for food. It’s not perfect copy of my pitch or voice or whatever, and kinda sounds like he’s saying “sweat bees”, but you can tell he’s trying to mimic me. They bring me all sorts of cool things that they kinda don’t want me to touch or move. Things like granola bar wrappers, pull tabs off of soda cans, nuts/bolts, little metal things, and feathers from other birds. They like to set it down on the ledge and when I try and take it, they pick it up and then set it back down again. Less gifts and more “look at this pretty garbage I found! I’m going to leave it on your patio, thanks.” and now I have a little pile of precious bird garbage behind one of my potted plants. They have such personality too. Grell is LOUD and the one who can speak. William is impatient and bangs on my window until I feed them. Ronald just kinda hangs around and eats and moves his favorite trash around. They’ll all land on my arms and pull at my hair if I T-pose when they’re nearby. I love my odd boys.

[@deigning]

one time my dad died and became all crows. this is a true story.

[@FraserConnell]

Is ur dad Chris angel

[@AceAttorny]

Oops! All Crows!

[@leaahh]

now he works for the bourgeoise

[@aaronb.2707]

He became all of them!?

[@josueayala1249]

Did he die fighting a man named Snake?

[@isaaceshleman2833]

“The long stick of far death” is too much for me. I am dead.

[@MerkhVision]

Ah, yet another victim of the long stick of far death. So sad. RIP in peace lmao

[@shovel2828]

“The long stick of far death” sounds like a DnD or Elder scrolls item.

[@ezekielmartin4323]

I have seen the pattern now. Pickle, horse, pickle, horse. This is the cycle of the universe, which holds the eternal balance. Pickles beget horses. Horses beget pickles. I understand.

[@FraserConnell]

You have reached enlightenment, my friend. Go forth and spread the word

[@FraserConnell]

Also, the next video is about ,.-~* t i m e *~-.,

[@psyducktective]

You’ve forgotten the most important factor: the mangoes

[@FraserConnell]

The man goes where?

[@finalfroggitapproaches6418]

But what came first, the pickle or the horse?

[@SorrySod]

I love the headcanon that Geoff is Tammy's previously-dead-now-a-crow friend who died in the Horse War

[@Joearango481]

I love this because, Geoff had a fucking gun and he got killed be a horse

[@aethernaut1899]

@@Joearango481 Probably because it was Buttermane, trying to ride him.

[@jordanlynn389]

I love that you spelled his name Geoff because it’s definitely not spelled just regular old Jeff. At first I was confused; “ why not just Jeff?” But, as soon as I saw him, I was like, “ oh yeah he’s totally a Geoff”.

[@Griffin1171-love-you-all]

I really hope the Calgrani and the Billatush can hash things out.

[@trueaidooo]

THERE SHALL BE NO PEACE!!!

[@alejandrorivas4585]

Real talk, amazing fantasy faction names and he came up with those on the spot

[@Alberich_Prince_of_Dwarves]

The animation of the horse's lipflaps is.. eerie and amazing.

[@FraserConnell]

That’s my niche!

[@DeepBlueInk]

Man I thought I was making animations fast 10/10 as always Fraser!

[@FraserConnell]

You’re my inspiration!!

[@hooticia44]

Wholesome content from both of you!

[@Vallnerik]

i love you both

[@WilliamHasMelted]

Im now imagining Worldwide Webster riding all 3 of the McElroy brothers into war

[@Yammenkow]

One of the best episodes, and the best part is the hesitance in Griffin's voice when he says unless thinking, as we all are, "how is he possibly going to turn this around" but against all odds Travis absolutely nails it. Honorable mention: Justin producing the names Calgrani and Billatoosh out of thin air.

[@benh2339]

I still can't believe he just conjured the clan names Calgrani and Billatoush out of thin air.

[@loganagle746]

Horse War is the sequel to Warhorse, but is Horse War the prequel to the Humans vs. Centaurs War?

[@cdotburg]

Logan Agle and they’re all prequels to The War With Grandpa

[@gabe2048]

One of my favorite posts is that one that’s like “a horse is a couch that thinks it’s in hell”

[@scoobysnax]

i just listened to this episode yesterday and your animations complements it beautifully. like peanut butter and jelly. like macaroni and cheese. like a horse and the grisly, gore-soaked horror of a battlefield.

[@FraserConnell]

Thanks! Hahah

[@caelum_rex]

There's no war like horse war

[@bbqtie]

the blush on j-man’s cheeks is absolutely exquisite today. keep up the good work!

[@Goldenheart_345]

I was already watching your video when this popped up, I think I'm magic, you're welcome

[@FraserConnell]

I think you are too!

[@SientifikSiameez7799]

Someone has GOT to tell the boys about Sergeant Reckless

[@TRquiet]

Outstanding animation! But, Griffin needs to learn that he can’t shame Travis for saying something dull by faking interest and prompting him to keep going. Travis **will** keep going, because it’s funny to him.

[@ozzywaldo7]

is this the war with grandpa prelude that we just were too ignorant to notice

[@notthat8163]

I love that they can start on crows and end on horses

[@Dusk_Breeze]

I listened to this episode while almost asleep and thought I had dreamt this bit, very glad it is actually real

[@Octy_in_Boots]

I heard this segment and KNEW it would become an animated bit! Bravo!

[@googiegress7459]

The horses in Horsewar got together and decided to send their enemies a nice big statue to say sorry, and then pretend to leave. But secretly they had convinced Jeff to hide inside it.

[@BlindErephon]

The old Trojan Jeff strategy.

[@HoneyMonstrosity]

Thank you so much for your animations they make me so happy and I’ve been having a tough week and this just made it all much better. Thank you thank you thank you :’)

[@FraserConnell]

Hey I’m rooting for you! Hope next week is better

[@calebduarte5255]

That half second between Travis looking at the camera and the screen going purple, when you can see the ghost of Travis McElroy looking into your very being and imploring you to even try blinking...this is the scariest fucking thing I’ve ever seen. Why, Fraser? Why?

[@Cal6009]

"The long stick of far death" is a much better name imo.

[@BanilyaGorilya]

When I legit heard this episode on my way home from work I was wondering when you were going to animate this and assumed you were already working on something for it, it’s so good.

[@TheMightyBattleSquid]

These questions on yahoo answers are so wild, have I truly been so ignorant to the ways of the world this whole time?

[@kanukulgood]

Horses and pickles. I don't know what that vibe means, but the brothers have it. Also, sending you lots of virtual hair pets and cool vibes

[@brandong9145]

The crow woke up and chose violence

[@MasterLagoz]

You can't lead a horse to water, but you can lead one to war?

crows never apologize

[@GraceT]

Oh man, I'd love to see one on the weed whispers/low talk Greg bit. It's not a very well known bit, but makes me laugh so hard I cry (it's episode 123)

[@FraserConnell]

I’ll have a listen!!

[@GraceT]

@@FraserConnell I think you'll like it! It's similar in nature to the ASMR episode role-play bit that they did 😆

[@barrythorlakson9767]

I have a little bit of an obsession with how cool crows are

[@greengrasse120]

i saw your bird video a while ago but just now looking at your new stuff, i really like the dusty/paper-ish texture you've started using also i wanna watch this but i'm gonna use the same clip for a kinetic type project for school and i want to keep an untainted heart and mind til i finish that lol

[@FraserConnell]

Thanks!! Make sure you upload the kinetic type to KZbin, I’d be cool to watch!

[@carolinemerk9814]

Is Travis far-sighted and Griffin near-sighted? Is that why their pupils are different sizes?

[@KairuHakubi]

sometimes you remember why it's called Yahoo I hope someone gets that

[@evelyna.5394]

Omg they came up with the plot of Centuarworld

[@JasonLihani]

I had to look up the scorpion and the frog story. I'm sorry to say it's exactly as Travis described with no additional details/moral. A truly baffling fable.

[@Bijou_BellBell]

What a roller coaster

[@FraserConnell]

😂😂😂 shows how many people actually stay to the end when you’re the first person to comment about that hahaha

[@opijfdgrty]

Cowardly move by Fraser to cut the clip before animating Buttermane riding Jeff.

[@davidreinhard6037]

War horse.. war horse... Theres no way to beat war horse

[@azureorchid8456]

Love the video, keep up the amazing work! Also is it possible to add captions to the video? Would help a lot, thanks!
