Hey, are Griffin's glasses getting bigger?

[@freyabee819]

So called out by that bit, lmao. I asked this on a previous video and I just came here to clarify now that I’m older and wiser that no, I don’t think they actually are.

[@DeepBlueInk]

That's the question

[@mozarteanchaos]

i think at one point they did start getting bigger but i don't think they're getting bigger now i know this is a joke i just wanted to provide my take edit: wait. they might.... they might be Smaller

[@nottodayartt5187]

@@mozarteanchaos no you were right the first time

[@Dollop_of_Mayo]

as the universe expands, so too do Griffin's glasses, and for similar reasons

[@nerdynoah]

Griffen With A Jawline is a top ten horror villain. Please erase it from my mind.

[@DeepBlueInk]

I wish I could

[@origaminosferatu3357]

I thought I was hallucinating it at first and then it shrank back. O_O

[@freyabee819]

I just came here to ask if Griffin’s glasses were getting bigger and I honestly feel so attacked right now.

[@XDDAnimeliciousXDD]

What's the glasses lore? I missed it & have no idea what's going on in the comment section lol

[@DeepBlueInk]

"Are Griffin's glasses getting bigger" is a VERY common comment I've been getting over the last year or so. Whether they are or not, isn't the point and I refuse to answer the question.

[@StraveTube]

@@DeepBlueInk I don't know why anyone is still asking, considering the fact that 3 months ago you all but confirmed the theory that Griffin was simply getting smaller. Get educated, people.

[@PersonalPariah]

That pinky point hot dog technique. Question asked, question answered.

[@DeepBlueInk]

Violet knows what's up

[@begaydocrimes8863]

all of this was hilarious but the concept of thomas barrow just eating a hot dog in the background of some pivotal scene he's eavesdropping on sent me into hysterics

[@nuggman4896]

literally tho like imagine hes on his usual slimy bastard bullshit and then after having gained a juicy tidbit of info, he turns, smirks, and pulls out a dog

[@MichaelStephenFreitag]

I will say, in his defense, it IS difficult to avoid getting mustard on one's fancy boy gloves while eating a hot dog

[@esquarswagmen275]

reopen the bun, invert the hotdog so the condiments are pointing down (into the bun), and enjoy.

[@rileyrobin2]

@@esquarswagmen275 at that point it would probably be easier to insert the wiener after putting condiments on the bun. i’ve done that for a pitiful dog when i ran out of buns and just folded a slice of bread.

[@AFamiliarSwordArt]

IN his DEFENCE his glasses IS actually getting bigger...

[@meghanjoyce269]

Griffin's changing jawline mentally transported me to a dimension that I never knew existed

[@cameronliterally]

The stinger at the end had me cackling like a fiend.

[@timhart2009]

I, too, wish to see an episode of Downton Abbey in which they all crush some dogs.

[@abj6920]

"So, nephew, am I quite correct in assuming that the juice the hotted hound expressed into your fancy boy clothings was, in fact, your own fucking blood? Yes? Quite right? From eating all of it whole in one savage bite?"

Man why arent they called hotted hounds

[@StraveTube]

@@yungoldman2823 They can be, if we all work together

[@taylorhancock5834]

I just need to point out that Griffin moving the paper over his chin as it changes shape and gets pulled back to reveal his newly defined chin for Fancy GriffinTM is such a minor detail but I wanted to appreciate it. These are always so high quality, and I always love seeing them!

[@DeepBlueInk]

Thank you so much!

[@Realeeryan]

It’s nice to finally see more accurate hot dog representation in modern media.

[@DeepBlueInk]

Long overdue

[@zynix976]

I love how your style of presentation follows the comedy of Buster Keaton: The actors can only see what is on camera right now, and nothing out of frame. Like when talking about Lady Crawley and her 5 hot dogs on a paper plate. Great video!

[@shockofthenew]

Huh, I never thought about it before, but the concept of things being on and off camera must have opened up a whole new type of comedy in the early days of film. That's neat!

[@zynix976]

@@shockofthenew I highly recommend "Buster Keaton - Art of the Gag" by Every Frame A Painting (and all of their videos in general!). It's a nice look into many methods used in films/TV

What I appreciate the most about this is the level of faithfulness to the illustrations of the Downton Abbey cast.

I’ve never seen a more accurate caricature of Maggie Smith with a spherical head.

Hey is Travis’s beard getting bushier?

Oh god no.

[@Murarius43]

What a treat! The details, the minutiae, the interpretation of biting his own hand off...the focus blur that's so rare but adds so much immersion. I love the thought and subtlety you put into these. Clearly a labor of love and it shows in every scene. Outstanding job, makes me happy when your content drops.

Wow, we got to hear DeeplBlueInk's DeepBlueVoice!

[@DeepBlueInk]

Calling dibs on DeepBlueVoice for the name of my new podcast where I just talk about Downton Abbey

[@Lawsonomy1]

1) As Downton Abbey is both back in time and in England so they would be eating Frankfurters not Hot Dogs. As what we call hot dogs were invented in Frankfurt Germany. The name was eventually shortened to Franks in America (Ballpark Franks being a staple of baseball), then later the street slang became Dogs then Hot Dogs. The slang grew in usage over generations until it replaced the proper name (as has happened with many things). 2) They never answered the question. The obvious answer is with a fork and knife. Bonus points if the fork and knife are sterling silver, the fork is a dinner fork and the knife is a dinner knife, and the plate is made of bone china with a floral pattern and gold leaf trim.

[@DeepBlueInk]

The first ever yahoo question answered

[@atticwind0w]

I think they're looking for you over in the Seth Meyers' "Corrections" segment comment section.

[@theadamant7125]

But how can they tell people that the fork and knife are real silver without bragging?

[@zataraclark]

Ooh, Bones points sound cool!

[@SeventhEve]

Frankfurters, not Frankenfurter, which is a character from Rocky Horror. And the sausages were called that because they were similar to Frankfurter wurstchen. The practice of serving them on a bun started in the US, by a German immigrant.

[@Aureilia]

I love how the main boys are all one colour like jellybabies, it really sets them apart :D

[@musicalnerds101]

I’ve been watching downton abbey a lot with my mom and let me just say i appreciate how you made all the animations look like their actors! Great job!

[@averyjeanne]

As someone who loves MBMBAM and Downton Abbey this is the best thing ever. I feel like this video was made specifically for me.

[@juliakauffman3639]

Dame Maggie Smith eating a hotdog is now a vision I will have life-long.

[@woah10spac18]

Literally, DeepBlueInk, your last little shot of you approaching the menacing crowd of youtube commenters made me laugh more than the MBMBAM bit itself this time. Hope you're vibin and keepin it tight 👌👌

Your animation style/choices fit so well with the humor moments/shows/podcasts you pick from its a match made in heaven the two and it shows everytime. Thank you for taking the best moment's and giving them so much more life. To this day Griffons porky pig one is my favorite.

[@angst_]

I'm glad you addressed it, because I too thought Griffin's glasses were getting bigger.

[@twoeyrules]

The McElroy Brothers know more about Downton Abbey than I gave them credit for and I don't know what that says about me or them in equal measure

[@spehizle]

How did you manage to make our beautiful brothers such powerful fashion icons?

[@Sco6014]

The chewing animation is very evocative like... it is very fancy.

[@lkafjkakjf333]

It’s the sudden appearance and disappearance of Griffin’s sharp square chin that gets me

[@bellalysewinchester]

I can tell that I am getting older, because there was no "Grey Poupon" joke and to my mind "Eating hot dogs fancy" just about demands a Grey Poupon joke because they had that whole ad campaign when I was a kid that pushed the idea that Grey Poupon Mustard was somehow fancy, with like an English Butler and everything (even though Grey Poupon is just mustard, albeit tasty.)
