There's something about the almost total nonsense sequence of words with just enough coherence to be funny that is cracking me up. Also Griffin killing Iudex only to open the door and see him again is extremely funny.

[@shawnaeatscats]

This monster factory is going to have insanely high rewatch value for me because of this wonderful twisted lexicon. It took me 10 minutes to get through the first 3 minutes of the video because I had to keep reminding because I kept laughing at every wonderful discovery

[@amissamente]

It's like the uncanny valley, but for words. Its gramtically wrong, but its right tho. Which is Monester Factory in a nutshell.

I haven't seen much (read: any) Monster Factory before, so I find it incredibly fascinating how the hosts have their own lexicon, bordering on a dialect, built on so many references and associations, that is still completely understandable.
