MBMBAM - You're Babying Griffin

This clip wasn't online anywhere and it's one of my favorite moments from the show. From a bonus scene called "Check In With Daddy"

[@lennibizzle]

we're overlooking the "I have my own discreet birthday" line, as if Griffin personally believes his parents made Justin and Travis share a birthday at his behest

[@intrepidolivia482]

it's like having your own bedroom

[@nicknamenao7905]

Nah in that sketch about travis selling onions he mentioned having shared a bedroom with Travis in those trying times

[@seanmorgan1759]

That's absurd, their parents didn't make them share a birthday on Griffin's behalf. _God_ did.

[@damiensanders7016]

​@@seanmorgan1759i did a little bit of math. 9 months before justin and travis' birthday is febuary 8th. thats pretty close to valentines day

[@DalesDubs]

_Discrete:_ separate, distinct Discreet: intentionally unobtrusive Ain't nothing discreet about Griffin's birthday

[@redandpurple317]

Justin's majestic eye roll when Clint said "he came down like a shaft of light from heaven" is PEAK eldest sibling mood.

[@systlin2596]

As a fellow eldest sibling I felt that moment in my soul.

[@topspin13]

It is within our eldest sibling power to always eye roll our younger siblings lol

[@Atalinay]

I thought they were laughing at shaft cause I was hahaha

[@18Hongo]

As an eldest sibling, I can honestly say that his eye roll elicited what I can only describe as a "gut-punch" of empathy. Just a sudden "bruuuuuuh" that hit me square in the abdomen.

[@BulkBoganOfficial]

As a fellow eldest, 100% checks out

[@thickmclargehuge4448]

i love how he calls his father "Clint" when he got upset

[@athenakvamme7550]

I winced so hard just imagining what would happen to me if I did that to my dad, even jokingly

[@Legbas_Ear]

I feel like immediately after the bit ended, he pulled Griffin aside like, "Reign it in, son"

[@abj6920]

I saw this thumbnail at a quick glance and thought Clint was in prison getting his one a month visitor

[@mikkosimonen]

He deserves to be, for his crimes which are too numerous to recount.

[@fwoqma]

once a month his three boys come in and take turns dunking on him, but every month he shows up

[@marthatitus5341]

I think about this line every single day

[@trahnettilhcs]

As someone who actually does have Glass Bones (I.e., Osteogenesis Imperfecta), I could still beat up griffin

[@vect0rwolf]

It's not even necessary, all Griffin needs to do is eat a slice of bread and his body beats itself up.

[@kazoogod]

I have a mild case of it but agreed

[@savannahmorgan772]

Travis could wrestle griffin, the same way he did with that kid who had the flu and Griffin would just shatter into pieces

[@elrapido5150]

Oh please no, don't harm the wee babe.

[@LFOtobot]

I'm sure you're physically capable of beating Griffin, he's a man-shaped baby bird. But are you emotionally capable of harming a single downy feather on his sweet newly-hatched head? I doubt anyone is.

[@caitlinisahookerfromhell]

its the way travis nd justin immediately get so mad when clint finishes the word heaven

[@dannijo1772]

The best part is that they're clearly trying to resist, because they *know* Clint is just saying this to tease them, but when he said that they couldn't help but go off and give him exactly the reaction he wanted.

[@keaton5101]

griffin: "mm."

[@sylvie_loves_frogs4951]

it feels like this isn't the first time they've had this discussion

It's like all 4 of them are the same person, but a time traveler meeting up with himself during different points in his life

[@canijust101]

youre so right

I've never heard it explained better

[@weneedaladder8384]

It's like "All You Zombies", but with less... whatever you'd call what was going on in that book.

[@ryanmattox7408]

Amazing comedy genes on display here. Justin and Travis remark on how they baby Griffin. Griffin and Clint demonstrate that then Griffin slam dunks it with the petulant, spoiled outburst. This is like watching a perfectly executed football play.

[@suburbanindie]

Amazing chemistry and it feels unscripted

[@squirrele4495]

Theory: Griffin and Clint have been doing a bit since he was a child

[@laurenyork6095]

It will always be Peak Comedy to me when they call their father by his first name

[@ollivander4590]

Every time they do I think of the tumblr post that was like "When I started TAZ I didn't know Justin was a member of the family until much later because of how often he calls his dad Clint"

[@Mantha8225]

It's weird thinking about this. I am the youngest and my parents were much more of the "the other 2 survived he'll be fine" kinda attitude to a lot of things.

[@bustedkeaton]

When your siblings are both scorpios u pretty much automatically come off as an angel in comparison

[@EricChoiniere]

Youngest of 4, in retrospect I feel I was very spoiled, but recently my parents said they felt a bit guilty for paying me _less_ attention than the other kids got at the same ages. Ultimately a lot of the spoiling was from my siblings :P

[@Sinklair8]

@@EricChoiniere lmao same when you’re the youngest of 5, you tend to get ignored. So my siblings were the ones taking care of me most of the time

[@serpentarius1194]

It was a bit of both in my case. They were a lot more careful about me so when I was younger I was babied a bit, but they gave less and less fucks as my other two siblings came around. But on the flip side, this means they also got away with more, and my parents were a lot more lenient.

[@princessaria]

Conversely, I was more than 10 years older. At the age of 13 I was babysitting a toddler, and by 15-16 I was staying home alone with her (who was like 4) overnight. My sister is over the age of 18 now (still in high school, but legally an adult) and my parents still ask me to come watch her when they go on vacation. I’m married and nearly 30. My parents need to chill lol.

It’s so weird for me to see how normal families function and everyone says that the youngest gets babied but in my house where I was the youngest of 4 I might as well have not existed.

[@tristantries9211]

Parenting seems to go 2 ways: the oldest gets neglected because they take for granted they can take care of themselves as they fret over the younger siblings. OR the eldest gets all the attention and the rest get neglected because they are burned out and have no energy left. There seems to be no happy medium of just like idk treating your children equally

I couldn't distinguish Justin and Travis' voices for like... a good few months when I started listening to them. My suggestion now is to watch spinoff shows with just one or two of them (Monster Factory, Sawbones, Shmanners, etc) to get a feel for each person without the noise of the others.
