MBMBaM - Does This Smell of Ketchup?

From Episode 264 "Expecto Punchtronum"
Listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me here: www.maximumfun.org/shows/my-br...

[@Rikoshima]

so we're just going to let griffin accidentally use the word ovipositor and not say anything about it

[@eileen1020]

nicolegend No that was deliberate

[@shawnaeatscats]

LOL he does not know what this word means, surely he meant olfactory sensors?

[@eileen1020]

@@shawnaeatscats No I've heard him use the word multiple other times on MBMBaM and Monster Factory. Absurdist humor.

[@GinkoNori]

And "proBIScus?"

[@morganhackworth84]

“The smell was... bad-“ I literally choked on peanut butter bread I almost died

[@TRquiet]

Oh my gosh the “game” where they threw baseball bats at each other was called “Taste My Steel?!” That’s amazing!

[@elliejelly8815]

Ye that as a candle smell

[@sarahwilliams8438]

This is where Richard Stink was awakened from the cryosleep I assume he was in before he took over Justin

[@Mical2001]

Why would this dad bring his fingers to his "ovapositors", Griffin? Ya know, the thing that insects use to inject eggs into things?

[@pidgeonpatrol861]

My mom's friend actually worked at a factory that made smells. Like. The chemical mixes for smells. Her job was to SMELL all of them. Different days, different scents. She quit when she started to lose her smell.

[@jbutler8585]

"The mechanics weren't complicated for Taste My Steel" ... I'm sorry, W H A T

griffins epiphany has led me to my own. my older brother did that exact thing except he said "doesn't that smell like nacho cheese"

[@benwitte5580]

Don’t bogart that sweet sniff

[@orgeuillealkali]

I can’t believe Travis hits us with the line “don’t bogart that sweet sniff” and there is no reaction 🥲 it busts my gut every time.

[@GippyHappy]

8:36 I love this bit, there used to be a great animation for it but I guess it’s gone now and instead I gotta sit through this super long video to find it

[@magicman9218]

This is the only time I've ever heard them even acknowledge that they had a mother, i had assumed they were made in a lab by their Father

[@AlexanderHarris]

Griffin talks very openly about her death in his talk at Florida State University. I highly recommend watching it, but if you get sad easily they also mention her towards the end of the MBMBAM Highlights clip “A Pasta Mistake”, which I think acts like kind of a sweet, if slightly twisted epilogue.

[@gwen6622]

they've talked about her sometimes, but she passed away when Griffin was around 20, so it's not something they wanna talk about often. they mention her at the end of the adventure zone's balance arc, Clint said that that story had their mother's fingerprints all over it, her influence informed a lot of the story Griffin told, and that shit made me cry so hard...

[@TRquiet]

If the Fart Candle is their best-seller, it’s because a lot of people couldn’t think of a better gift for their uncle at Christmas. Nobody is buying that for themselves.

[@pureicefire]

Would buy “Cuneiform” as a candle. Also as a former Kentuckian, can confirm that this weird old smoke smell permeates various locations. It’s spooky.

[@epoillaKory]

I’ve been looking for this for YEARS! Thank you!

[@Dylan_Platt]

From KY and Griffin is 100% right about public buildings around here still having the lingering stale cigarette smell, despite indoor public smoking being banned in like 03 or something

[@117johnpar]

Griffin that is noooooot what ovipositor is

[@ksochia12]

I relate with this dad. Could be a symptom of OCD?

[@ksochia12]

i love that I can listen to this 2 years from then and see a comment I left

[@uuh4yj43]

as someone with ocd, i couldnt imagine running my hands on my face in public so idk about that

[@gnome_farmer]

I want new tire smell and new shoes smell.

[@trinitysarah2992]

2:11 first play along at home?

[@cyborgzloth]

Hey griffin.. Do you possibly mean olfactory receptor?

[@elliejelly8815]

Dinosaur smell

[@charliebrown838]

This one hits different after 2020, the year of our plague

[@meatmobile]

He probably was just doing it to make sure he didn't stank.

[@Megakell0]

I know this was 2 years ago but, for what it's worth, I do this too but to a lesser degree. I don't smell my own B.O. Dat's nasty. But my point is that it's a form of stimming for autistic people. Their dad may be autistic. Random stranger: DIAGNOSED Autism AWAAAAAaaaaay...
