I Need a New Office...

[@EchoingVideos]

I absolutely love this sequence edited together. This is perfect.

[@harrytsang1501]

And I love how Myke is basically in a therapy session with Grey

[@donotchris7849]

Somehow every new animation is my favourite, but I feel like it will be hard to top this one

[@marioxdc123]

OMG its been sooooooo looooooong I though there were not going to be any more animations, glad Im wrong. Hopefully we are going to see Grey´s parking garage office animated with a concerned air purifier :3

[@MidnightDoom777]

I love how CGP Grey is drawn as a robot. I never knew how much I needed CGP Grey art!!

[@calimber]

NEW CORTEX PODCAST ANIMATED VIDEO !!! TODAY IS A GREAT DAY !!!!!!!!!!

[@FabianOrtega528]

Oh my god the "The Producers " unhappy reference was genius

[@misteryA555]

Grey continuing to be just like me forreal and also someone I hope I never have to deal with in real life

[@D_Winds]

These animation shorts - pure art.

[@kairon156]

Brilliantly done.

[@SenorHomeslice]

My question is about the faded “I’m sorry John” on the Garfield mug beneath “I hate Mondays.” A subliminal apology from the animator? I’m sure it’s not an apology to from Garfield to Jon Arbuckle is it’s not spelled John and that’s the kind of detail this animator would take seriously. I must know… who is John?

[@dravenpay3558]

When and where was this recorded

[@robertono2331]

lol

[@13mschen]

I think the choice of making Myke's hands different shades is wrong. I think you can do the shadow effect or not, but make the base shade of them the same. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@MisterLambda]

Now we need to have the sequel segment where Grey sets up the home office in his basement garage

[@zodayn]

That's even more like the Evil Dead 😂

[@sirBrouwer]

With the addition that Mike first though that Grey would be sitting on his hometrainer in a parking spot in-between the the cars.

[@bernier42]

I’m from the future and…you got your wish.

[@MisterLambda]

@@bernier42 And it was wonderful.

[@bernier42]

@@MisterLambdaIt was.

[@queenofhearts64]

I'm so glad you went back to this, the whole thing is brilliant, especially when you know what's coming

[@cuentaeliminada7176]

What's coming? I don't quite recall

[@Innuya]

It's in the video?

[@TheLordOfNothing]

That video segment is Rules for Rulers, not a new video.

[@daveSoupy]

I remember this storyline and love that it is now animated

[@nsofwawalklog]

which episode was it

[@AgentMuffin22]

How has nobody commented on the changing picture frames, every time it cuts back there’s 2 new one. Loves the details.

[@--------04]

I thinked that the podcast was more recent, so I was like "well, at least he didn't hear him reding the script of Rule of rulers", then I saw the ending

[@hollytaylor932]

This is is so good. No cortex saga deserves animation as much as this one

[@tdl487]

The "Spy vs. Spy" background at the mortal enemy part got me so good! Pure genius.

[@tymek200101]

"Do you want to rule" is probably the most iconing Grey video, and the only one I remember the opening line from

[@cloverandanais]

Well now I know why it's been so long since there was an animation! 4 and a half minutes of amazing story time :D 🍀

[@OrigamiMarie]

I love that Grey jumps like a scared cat.

[@alex_allier9]

Me too

[@paperheartzz]

Loving the calm betrayal by Mike. The character progession in this episode cannot be matched.

[@BronwynErb]

pull form an old episode, but such a fun story, especially when you know what video he is talking about

[@Sandy-rw2fj]

This is my new favourite cortex animation

[@danisgood]

Honestly, best cortex animated yet! It was like a soap drama 😂

[@toxxicdutchie232]

So I was listening to this, first time ive ever seen this channel, and I'm like "man this reminds me of CGP Grey"

[@twojuiceman]

The Garfield mug at 1:30 says "I'm sorry Jon" in very faint letters under the bit about mondays. Subtle

[@joecab1]

That set up for the end was just magnificent. 💯

[@_IanOfEarth]

Love the new longer arcs in these 😍

[@A1BASE]

On the phone to China you say? Time to start piping the Taiwanese national anthem into his office when he’s on the phone, I reckon. That should solve your neighbor issue pretty quick.

[@MarcTelang]

oh no

[@FajreroCintilo]

You're a genius

[@FajreroCintilo]

Or you could play Flower of Freedom

[@MarcTelang]

@@FajreroCintilo or the The Anti-Communist and Anti-Russian Aggression Song

[@TheSquawkingbird]

This is a full story that works really well in the short format. I really loved the poster changes as well. This may be the best Cortex Animated yet and would be the one I'd recommend as a teaser to new listeners.

[@musikSkool]

It sounds like the renters need to move them to opposite sides of the building, and if possible, different floors. On an unrelated note, I'm imagining a weird future where offices are rented out to double-duty and when the day crew go home, an hour later the night crew show up and do a different job while using the same offices, at slightly lower rent costs. That way cities can save money since half as many offices need to be built. I could see this being done in the UK before anywhere else, since they are pretty office-heavy.

[@MH-hu5pi]

We work?

[@musikSkool]

@@MH-hu5pi It seems to me that a larger percentage of the British workforce do office labor than other countries. Maybe I'm wrong, but it at least seems that way.

[@vmofficial9]

oh my god this is the funniest animated video ever. from the innocent beginning to the horrifying apex

[@Syy]

Wow. This is absolutely your best work yet, VERY well done.

[@nope8013]

I honestly laughed so hard that I cried

[@charles3840]

Wow This is great. Probably my favorite topic cluster in the podcast. The irony of Mike asking if Grey has considered... deposing his office neighbor is very clear with all of the clips in succession.

[@JohnSmith-bn5mi]

If you gon on about crushing your enemies to a stereotypical business guy, he's just thinking you're writing a motivational speech or something. Either that or he barely registers you at all.

[@Alberto-mc6yk]

Rules for Rulers?! My 2nd favorite vid of yours (because of course, hexagons are the bestagons).

[@ein-veh2365]

Best one yet! I can’t even say what my favorite part was because the whole thing is my favorite part ❤

[@alexiskaas907]

My jaw is QUIVERING! Desperate to hold in raucous laughter that would be absolutely unacceptable to erupt from my cubicle after watching this. The animation style and the passage of time through the conversation to then climax with the realization of context that it's the rules for rulers videos is simply hilarious.

[@queenofhearts64]

Can we get a list of all the posters together? 00:54 Homer spying on Flanders 1:04 Three wheels on my wagon (mosying referenece) 1:42 C for Cookie Monster 1:55 Bob the Builder and Sisyphus (pushing a boulder up a hill forever) 2:02 THIS IS SPARTA!!! 2:13 The ring-tailed lemur leader from Madagascar 2:34 Rear Window (maybe?) 3:30 Hannibal Lector and Conan the Barbarian (crushing his enemies and hearing the lamentation of the women) 3:46 'I am Spartacus!' (I think)

[@freehandclara4015]

Put some respect on King Julian’s name

[@queenofhearts64]

Thank you, didn't know his name

[@MH-hu5pi]

2:48 spy Vs. Spy

[@sooyster4033]

Don't forget the Jay-zee meme

[@rhubarbjin]

1:48 Not a poster, but this scene is a reference to “I Wanna Be a Producer” from _The Producers_

[@PurpleRhymesWithOrange]

You are a KZbin animator. Your character is a self portrait. Drawing attention to yourself is your literal job description!

[@TheScotBot]

This is by far one of the best cortex animated that has ever existed. Fantastic work.

[@archieb303]

Oh my god i just noticed the Mob Psycho 100 reference at 1:08

[@kelseyadams2320]

This is perfection. The way the story is brought together, the killer animation style, all the little jokes in the animation - truly delightful.

[@invin7215]

I found myself sat next to a cringey highbrow business meeting in a cafe a few months back. The more expensive suit sat with one leg crossed, waved his hand around, and postured for dominance while saying all the buzz phrases like "we would like to see things more tied in" while the cheaper suit had to pretend this was all very constructive and helpful.

[@sooyster4033]

Isn't that stuff crazy? Man, I'm glad I don't have to work in that sort of environment.

[@vgzwymux8569]

The ending, lol

[@Dribbleondo]

i am confused by the meme posters. I sense I need context.

[@Xelaria]

I have never laughed like this is a while.

[@StormSeadog]

yeah but why does the neighbour look like a kerbal lmao

[@skorp5677]

Small correction at 1:00 At this time, Myke didn't have a license, did he?

[@cortexFM]

Still doesn’t. He’s taking Grey on a joyride

[@Sirenhound]

I didn't know what you're talking about Mike. I don't have an office mate. 💀

[@MindeKing]

I can't be the only one who noticed the animated allusion to Mob Psycho 100 at 1:07, right? Grey's holographic, geometric-patterned aura followed by an all-black, literally sketchy version with white eyes. (Unless I'm missing something, in which case, feel free to correct me.)

[@nerdy_crawfish]

I hope the guy eventually saw the full video.

[@dragonfighters5097]

I fell like the work neighbor must have thought his inner mind was telling him to do stuff like at 4:07 a gold mine can run with dying slaves him hearing it repeat must have been like his mind is telling him what to do.

[@capnstewy55]

On my whiteboard I draw pictures of machine parts and put a face on them somewhere.

[@drphot6050]

I had to watch this a couple just for the pictures changing… Also, now I wanna move to a new office space 😂

[@triburant4582]

Excellent! I love the animation style and the story is great too.

[@woahitsraj]

Damn! This is the best one yet

[@Kaos701A]

Best cortex animated so far

[@eninn]

3:00 do we know which video he is talking about?

[@DrJackaloupe]

Rules for Rulers

[@charles3840]

The one that Mike was watching outside Cortex Studios, 📏 for 👑.

[@bloodalchemy]

The video Gray was making was Rules for Rulers. The dialogue is from a few episodes in a row that are over 6 years old, with the last bit being the start of Rules for Rulers Discussion episode.

[@skurys]

Love how the pictures on the wall change every time it cuts back to them

[@donedeal00051]

I am trying to figure them 😃

[@FernTheRobot]

now we will need the entire arc of office spaces, from this to the glass cube to the pitch black home office to the basement garage, also with Myke's mega studio of course!

[@annamonson212]

I feel like the animation has gotten better, smoother. Love this sequence together :)

[@r1areone377]

Nice

[@ShadowDogProduction]

Now that I've watched the video, omg. So good. Lol (my favorite part was how the paintings kept changing)

[@yichenyin7138]

The first recommended video to me: How to become pope

[@user-tm3zn3xv5n]

This is me in my classroom everyone thinks im a pysco

[@broderick7932]

this is the video that made me a fan of these animations [shout out to HM Boutet] which then made me a fan of the podcast, which i’m listening to in order. highly effective.

[@SimplyDudeFace]

The Studabaker was a deep cut. Props to the animator.

[@dawesome_sauce]

The mood posters in the background really sold this story.

[@silverkoffee]

The paintings keep changing and I love it

[@kingthe13]

You know his office neighbor is a business douch right then maybe he took inspiration from greys madness

[@ARockRaider]

that's what my mind came up with!

[@Failedlegend]

which episode was about crushing your enemy? (not the podcast)

[@cortexFM]

[@Failedlegend]

@@cortexFM sorry for the slow response but thanks :D

[@Adderkleet]

Go West? Yes. Thank you for that.

[@tparadox88]

My company's administration office annex was, when I started, the only unit in the building that was actively occupied thanks to the other tenants being on WFH or pulling out of the building. It was like we had the whole building to ourselves, and it was great, especially for introverts like me. A few months ago a company moved into the unit right next to us and they're all super friendly sales people. They will make really familiar greetings when they see you in the hall and they're always just hanging out in the common areas unless they're having another loud party that rattles our walls at 4pm on a Friday. The guys have no sense of men's bathroom social isolation protocols. It's awful. We looked up the company and it's an MLM.

[@ethanlal4517]

CGP Grey vids also need to be animated this way.

[@jbaranowski31]

Absolutely incredible!! This had to have taken a lot of time and effort but it totally paid off. 💯

[@falconnm]

Surprised no one suggested white noise as a possible solution...

[@sooyster4033]

He's trying to record a script though

[@Dalie_Tern]

4:00 oh no It’s rules for rulers

[@silversjohn]

The "I don't know what you're talking about" killed me

[@andpersand25]

OH oh no it’s That Video

[@quodsto]

I love giving podcasts visuals or animation, i wish more people did it

[@Hydraas]

I only just noticed that Grey jumps like a cat

[@chelleduns8700]

I watched this immediately after watching the rules for rulers, and I'm just dying laughing now.

[@djcfrompt]

1:47 Unhappy...

[@sharonwong1759]

This is great but now you also have to animate Grey getting the first iPad Pro

[@maxwelldimensio]

this is awesome

[@newcantinacrispychickentac7754]

I'm so glad this was animated!

[@mackiemayday]

Is the Studebaker Champion at 00:59 important to the lore or just for funsies? Lovely car

[@treasureseeker358]

They are back.

[@amehak1922]

I love the posters changing each time lol

[@JohnCripps]

wow, that's a blast from the past!!

[@rationalagent6927]

Grey should play the Taiwanese national anthem constantly if he's trying to harass Chinese calling businessman

[@MartinJahn]

When I was listening to back catalogue I couldn't help myself but to look up the video. It was hilarious listening to that. I love there's an animated episode on this.
