[@EinDose]

It just occurred to me how stunningly good Griffin actually IS at improvising lyrics. You see Justin struggling to come up with these lyrics even before bombing with 'brown', and I'd say Justin is probably about average in his attempt. But then Griffin just comes out of the gate IMMEDIATELY with lyrics dumping on specifically how Justin fumbled.

[@buttersddragon]

not necessarily _good_ lyrics, but still impressive i think

[@em.1633]

It relates to their brains processing speed. Having a high processing speed is essential for live comedy. Griffin has the fastest out of them, and it reflects in a lot of what he does and says.

[@ari638]

Justin is above average? I have no experience in comedy/improv and having done a few attempts just now I think I'm par with or just succeeding Griffin. Mind you, I wrote a lot of poetry as a kid so maybe I can only do rhyming/rhythm based improv

[@foxgender]

i cannot IMAGINE how disappointed you would have been 4 years ago with a glimpse of the future griffin's "screamy creamy feet" rap for their wonka movie bit.

Griffin changing the key every time he sings is a wonderful detail. Absolutely incredible work as always, Mr. Zong.

[@lemmetalkaboutthis]

Griffin's ability to instantly come up with lyrics that actually rhyme AND sorta make sense impresses and intimidates me, like are we SURE he's human???

[@halcyonacoustic7366]

People do improvised rap, that's pretty damn impressive as well.

I was eating chocolate covered peanuts and it went down the wrong tube. I should know better than to listen to the boys when eating.

Please god tell me that you do

[@mothman3722]

I am sorry my good sir, but we just ran out of brown. I hope that you're not blue, No, I hope you don't feel down. We will prob'ly get more soon, but for now, want something else? I can offer you a spoon, into these flavors we can delve. My good man we've got chocolate, strawberry and cookie dough chocolate mint, rocky road, not an ounce of brown left, though. Oh now you're making quite the fuss, my good sir, please stay calm. Sorry there's no brown left here, but the police I'm gonna call.

The flavor brown is what I dream of In my bed every night The flavor is just perfect Yes the flavor is just right When I eat brown ice cream I am filled with joy it's better than the beach and all of the beach toys while you play I will lay, in the sun, in the sand alone but happy with my ice cream in hand Now it's sticky, super icky 'cause it melted everywhere And my whole day is ruined But man, who cares?

I have watched this upwards of 15 times in the last day because i love it so much. Griff singing is just so adorable and your animation style makes it even more so. Not to mention that the animation is just phenominal. The but where griff flies over the bowl of ice cream has me pausing and rewinding the video to watch how smooth and amazing the animation is and the icredible sense of depth you managed to give that bit. Keep on making animations you wonderful mbmbambino

[@samrust4366]

How are you SO FAST at making these???????

[@cherrygrabber7172]

Sami Rust It’s made as a storyboard, so it’s not as time consuming than actually redrawing and colouring every frame, plus it has way less frames to begin with. The whole thing doesn’t have like a whole studio’s worth in animating it. That’s why, so yeah.

[@Myserval]

Cheruz Zon mainly though, it's because Louie storyboards for we bare bears so it's practically his job to storyboard fast

[@cherrygrabber7172]

This is the only animation I’ve ever seen of the ice-cream song which makes me think this is almost certainly the one Justin said Charlie loves to watch with him.

[@elizabethreed618]

I love this video so much. It was the only video related to mbmbam I could show to my little sister. She howled with laughter over this song. She has a chronic illness and often was in the hospital. When I couldn't be there in person with her, I'd sing this over and over again for her. Yes, I'd do all the parts.

[@ryntalkstoomuch4686]

I love how Justin goes into ultimate panic mode as soon as Griffin calls him out it’s the best part of the bit

(this was mostly self satisfying) Griffin: But I would write sort of ice cream themed lyrics, like.. 🎶 Do you want ice cream? It's a creamy, creamy treat. It's so creamy soft, it's so creamy sweet! We got 'Itzakadoozie's, we got 'Push Pops', too. Come get your ice cream, don't go to school! 🎶 Travis: Okay.. Griffin: ...🎶 Co- Travis: Wh- Alright.. Griffin: Co-.. 🎶 Come and get your ice cream, eat it with your friends! When you eat ice cream, the cream never ends! Come and get all the ice cream that we have in our truck; you are gonna love it now, you are... you're gonna love this truck! 🎶 (Justin stifles laughter) Travis: Okay.. Justin: Okay.. just kind of.. just rhymes with truck.. Griffin: Um.. you could also sing- it's really fun to make up ice cream lyrics. Have you guys ever tried? To make up ice cream lyrics to- Travis: No! Griffin: -"Do Your Ears Hang Low?" Uh, Juice, you wanna try to make up ice cream lyrics? Justin: Uh, yeah, I'd love to do that.. Griffin: Do a ice cream song. To "Do Your Ears Hang Low". Justin: ...Um.. Y-... Ch-.. 🎶 Do you want some cream? Yes, it's.. dreamy, screamy, cream. In a chocolate.. flavor or vanilla bean! Or pistachio is good!.. But not as good as brown- 🎶 (laughing) we- Travis: Brown?? That classic ice cream flavor "brown"?? (Travis laughing) Griffin: 🎶 Do you want ice cream before you even ask? Yes, they do have brown, and it takes you to task! It's the tastiest flavor, it's a color- it is, too! And come get your brown stuff- come on doodle doo! 🎶 (Justin wheezing with laughter) Travis: "Do you have brown?" Sorry, we're all sold out. "NoOoO!"
