everytime griffin says "dummy thicc" i want to astral project myself into space

If you astral project in space, it push you backwards?

every time griffin says dummy thick i DO astral project into space.

Justin: *accidentally says "Yoba" instead of "Yoda"* Me, who is hopelessly addicted to Stardew Valley: You know, that's not how I imagined a god looking, and that's my fault.

[@abalonewaters9759]

I've been reading the damn title as Yoba this whole time. I FORGOT YODA WAS A STAR WARS CHARACTER AND I WAS WAITING FOR A STARDEW VALLEY JOKE

[@ImWeirdAndILikeIt]

MOOD

[@platypiisaweirdword]

I knew I knew that name from somewhere! This is canon now

[@stormRed]

The more I learn about Stardew Valley the less I seem to understand it

[@captainhope]

@@stormRed It's always low-key funny to me that at its core, it's just a farming game but there are some ominous undertones littered throughout the game (the existence of Yoba, the whole mining situation, etc.)

[@depotagents]

Y'know.. I never really considered that monster factory monsters just stand there and take it as Justin and Griffin laugh at them but.. this guy knew, the whole time. He just stood there and endured it. That's how I feel about it.

[@Levacque]

Now I'm gonna feel so bad about watching this.

[@WTFPr0m]

The moment Yoba's skull height blasted off, I literally wept laughing

[@dogshake]

Yoba’s skull height blasted off, _and_ _youre_ _laughing_ ?

[@harveyboy4262]

when they add the hair and mustache: this is as far as this can go. you can't get worse than this when they find the skull height slider: Oh No

[@rynemcgriffin1752]

[@EpicBeard815]

I feel like I'm breaking the prime directive just by watching this

[@faroshscale]

LMAO

[@burkesongs]

I think they were breaking the Laws of Nature by creating Yoba.

[@sethescope]

this is such a funny comment, I need you to know this, my friend

[@LemonScentedSharpie]

Griffin laughing 'Justin' is such a sibling thing I'm crying

[@michaelschwiebert3636]

I want someone to say my name the way Griffin says "Justiiiiin."

This may look like a challenge, but knowing the skills and determination of this cosplay community, I know there will be 15 Yobas walking around at every upcoming McElroy live show this fall. Put that in the bank!

SKULL HEIGHT everything before that was good but I absolutely lost it at each consecutive slider for the head shape 😂🤣

[@TruckTheDuck]

It was an oversight to not make any part of Yoba's clothing the same as their skin: change my mind

[@reesemcgeese824]

you're right and you should say it

[@bigbadgammagnome]

Counterpoint: with more opportunities for different colours, Yoba gets closer to becoming a rainbow coloured icon

[@GeeVee1978]

The image of Yoba in the Red Room from Twin Peaks dancing and snapping his large fingers will haunt my nightmares probably for all of my days

[@burkesongs]

He's also talking backwards.

Yoba Startreksux is my favorite underrated Deep Space Nine character

[@sarahtorgerson9658]

You know, everyone says the ferengi exhibit the most growth on the show, but we all know it was Yoba.

[@burkesongs]

That episode where he lost his leg but grew 3 more antenna was truly moving.

[@matthewegan5281]

I personally like his arc throughout season 4 where he learned that it's not the holes you can see, but the ones you cant, that truly count in this world.

[@OkamiG15]

I love how with each new accessory the fiction changed drastically.

[@brockenglish7602]

I love the idea of a very thoughtful and traditional Star Trek show but with one character that's just like "Fuck you, I'm here to beat ass."

"It's ok to have an aesthetic" - Justin "Island Boy" McElroy

“It’s okay to have an aesthetic” He says, making a monstrosity that goes against the very word aesthetic

theres nothing more wholesome when griffin pulls back from his mic and cackles and it just feeds into justins wonderful laughter.

[@magpie405]

"Griffin, I asked you not to, I begged you not to," *Justin, you did not ask enough before you two started this monstrosity of a series*

[@bagofworms7625]

This is truly the best character design and my monkey brain wants to cosplay it

Honestly, though, Yoba's fashion sense is downright understated compared to some of Neelix's outfits.

You can unlock Neelix's outfit in the game.

"Skull height!" (slide) (Griffin does the laugh of the king from the Zelda CDI games)

I was gonna ask how you could make something that is supposed to be an alien so monstrous that I couldn’t suspend disbelief. And then Griffin reminded me who he is.
