McElroy Family Clubhouse: Emmys for Miggy and Dwight

[@OddDrop]

Dropout would be a great home for a new MBMBAm tv SHOW.

[@wilderulz]

YES PLEASE

[@footkong5937]

Oh my lord no it wouldn't man, why do I keep seeing this

[@B-goblins]

@@footkong5937why not

[@Taurusus]

"Intersection of scripted and improv" is a BIG aspect of Dropout content, I genuinely feel the existing season of McElroy televised content hits that brief pretty well. The podcast/Clubhouse? Less so, for sure. The Seeso eps? They have a place.

[@WhiteKnuckleRide512]

I think if they wanted to do another TV show then that would have happened already. I think it’s pretty clear theyre no longer very interested in it.

[@FlowersForVax]

Griffin when I listen to Hadestown once again and they sing "it's an old song - we're gonna sing it again" I can appreciate the tragedy and still kind of hope maybe it ends differently *this time*. So when chat talks about Miggy not dying this time-- that's *basically* the same thing.

[@miacook9455]

I love this explanation for it - I think that’s exactly it

[@cottagecorecows]

So true bestie Miggy is my Orpheus ❤

[@2goblinsinatrenchcoat]

@@cottagecorecowssomeone’s been watching Kaos on Netflix… jk jk but I did just finish it and I am desperate to talk to someone about it lmfao

[@forestelforesto2897]

This my first thought 100%

[@oestranhomundodek]

In an alternative universe, Griffin is choking on a jar of amiibos during the intro

[@sue4182]

Underrated comment 😂

[@ericzwak]

Thank you, Big Dog Travis, for your defense of Toothless.

[@leiram8833]

Big Dog (Travis McElroy) recognize Big Dog (Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon)

[@ugh_naught5009]

We need a new aspirational pod "MBMBAM Season 2 Will Be On Dropout"

[@terryeubanks8797]

0:40 Intro 1:12 Miggy chokes on a jar of pens 1:33 Miggy dies 1:54 Show begins

[@cyclos12]

God's work has been done by you

[@baphometsvomitcomet2350]

The visible waves of rage coming off of Griffin and Justin when Travis reveals the second to last abnimal were perfect

[@amandafrazier9724]

I laughed so hard I lost the ability to make noise.

[@Ather_sys]

the silence was DEAFENING

[@catfoodzplz]

In the intro to the old timy Batman, sometimes the intro would change when Batgirl was in the episode. I waited every episode intro on baited breath. We could HAVE this

[@rachellraee]

41:55 The ominous shadow on the wall as our two main characters watch coal cat pass by is *chefs kiss*

[@ignifex255]

Travis's "I didn't know I had strong feelings until now" before laying into griffin is the funniest thing that's ever happened

[@Prothocrice]

for them to gamble losing their place in line to get a shot of the ribbon cutting ceremony only for their angle to not show the actual point where the scissors cut the ribbon is pure comedy

[@hannawozniczka6063]

Justin’s face when they announced August 19th Dave and Busters Day in West Virginia 😂😂 It really was like a real live munch squad. Hope the boys celebrate every year on the podcast.

[@Dongbongus]

Coal cat standing ominously behind Justin was a nice addition

[@fingernecklace4817]

Cannot fucking believe how entertaining corporate marketing can become when Justin McElroy gets his hands on it

[@freehim939]

When I was growing up, my parents sheltered me from the bad things on TV that only bad kids watched. One night, I finally got to watch South Park for the first time. I then went to school the next day and, in an attempt to sound cool, said to the cool kids "Wow, I can't believe Kenny died." That is what we are all like with Miggy, all of the time, forever.

[@livebackwards]

18:11 Travis: "Now what we're looking at here is three characters." Griffin: "I F U C K I N G H O P E S O" Great ep, boys, I laughed and hollered and thrashed about and made a real mess.

[@feelthejoy]

The concept of a Dave & Busters having a ribbon cutting is fucking hilarious. Good for them lol. This is the busiest looking 2024 mall I’ve ever seen.

[@XanBcoo]

I read this comment before getting to that segment and genuinely thought it was a bit. Holy hell that was surreal lol

[@SpleenyOne]

A lot of big chain establishments LOVE to do ribbon cuttings for their openings. I don't know that they always get local days in their honor, but if a chain CAN cut a ribbon they WILL.

[@wilderulz]

i'm not sure if their relationship is going to survive anymore energy dragon segments

[@RockSoup]

Funny story. Most of the time the X-Files intro ends with the words "The Truth Is Out There" on screen. But sometimes it's different and whenever it is, that moment is scarier than a billion scary alien caveman mold monsters.

[@norar8749]

I WAS THINKING THAT! Sometimes the X-Files intro does change!!!

[@cottagecorecows]

I'd personally be a big fan of a series that's just Justin and Dwight wandering around various malls

[@zach5539]

The slow pan to coal cat is the funniest thing ive seen this week

[@TheRtRevKaiser]

Big time Griffin's Amiibo Corner flashbacks at 34:36

[@moonbasket]

Dwight is the true MVP of this episode. We all need a friend like Dwight.

[@dastardlydud]

The D&B segment was brilliant, thanks for a great time brothers.

[@tri-angel]

Let me guess, is it drum and bass?

[@tophergrallison]

I love you guys. I do. From the bottom of my heart. You are my best parasocial friends, and it’s not even close. It would take a million Brennan Lee Mulligans to equal even one Clint McElroy. All of your opinions on dragons are wrong, and you are driving me nuts.

[@meeveling]

classic lego dragon was one of my favourite toys as a kid, I still have mine sitting on a shelf in my room, it is #1 and I will not argue

[@sharkofjoy]

The idea we even had to debate whether a vest was a shirt makes me so mad. IT'S NOT A SHIRT

[@redstonebrain40]

Vile. I'm aghast.

[@elpez3]

I think it's not a vest, it's a shirt or jacket that clearly is too small

[@Mirrormn]

They even established the rule beforehand, if the nips are out, it's not a shirt! Consistency, brothers!

[@kerink]

the bull abnimal decision made me so mad 😂 that man was NOT wearing a shirt, he had a white belly! you could even see his back was exposed! he was wearing some kind of brace around his collar/shoulders and a trojan-style armor tunic. it should have been bottoms only

[@aslamc9288]

100%! I was just coming in to see in anyone else clocked that. The white part is clearly an underbelly given white fur for some reason. It’s shoulder pads and a skirt, there’s no shirt there!

[@tobiasmeerdink5023]

1:20 mackerel death 1:52 stream begins

[@g00go]

every episode he is revived but killed again in such a painful way but never gets used to choking on pens

[@patchnessable]

damn? died again? I was hoping he would survive this time.

[@Dr.JeremyDunks]

Its funny that they brought up The X-Files, because the intro *would* change from time to time. Typically the intro ends with a flash of text on the screen reading, "The truth is out there", but sometimes that quote would change to add context to the particular episode.

[@JasonLihani]

The Live Chat Replay is sooo fun, as always. 🥭

[@benb4192]

the abnimals edge cases: 1. that's a skirt. it's covering dong. he could wear that at pride, it's street legal. Both. 2. i think the spirit of the game, is the degree to which the animals feel humanistic shame for their naked bodies, choosing to cover them up with people clothes. that dog has very clearly made the conscious choice to be wearing a vest top. he's showing a lot of skin, sure, but that morning he put his pants on and said to himself "no, i can't go around with nothing on top, i need something else," and picked up the vest. that's Both.

[@tobykathan8277]

I thought the front of the torso of the cow was a different color of body fur/skin. Not a shirt. I thought neither. Chest thing and weird tutu belt

[@Vallam23]

true fans know that miggy died at the beginning of the season and was temporarily replaced with tom but then got brought back to life when the brothers retrieved the animus bell from Castle Ataraxia after defeating the evil wizard Mort. they actually seemed a little disappointed, they really liked tom

[@thatoneguy_lrlonerocker5274]

Dwight and Justin content is *chef kiss* the best.

[@estherjo]

i don't think the boys can form a single valid opinion on the classic lego dragon until they've been to denmark and tried its ride in legoland - something the whole family can enjoy.

[@meganharvey1587]

ya'll make me happy. ty for being a part of my life.

[@athenasdragon]

At 47:26 I really thought for a second we’d get to play along at home lol

[@LordOfJonix]

the footage in that D&B piece was truly breathtaking

[@vivid5072]

42:40 LMAO Justin was FEELIN his Munch Squad 😂

[@FlowersForVax]

THE BULL IN THE BATTLE TUTU WAS NOT WEARING A SHIRT!!! the fur on his tumtum was white FIGHT ME

[@wyattharrah2251]

This is categorically true

[@alecmaure9990]

You are correctest

[@ashleyboots3386]

Yep Not wearing a shirt

[@YourTonyWalter]

We'll die on this hill together, my friend. No shirt.

[@laurafrakinroslin]

FUR. General Baby has a white tum tum

[@tabithaaf]

Did you know? For performance broadcasts on TV, male K-Pop idols have to follow a “One Nipple Rule” where they can appear partially topless, but can only show one nipple and not both. Although this has never been officially confirmed, many male idol outfits have featured some kind of sash that strategically covers one nipple, lending credence to the popular notion. I mention this only because the many shirt discussions that reference exposed nipples made me think about it. *Additionally* Female K-pop idols have a similar rule for modesty. Female K-Pop idols are not allowed to show their bellybuttons, and wear many high waisted styles to cover them. Girl groups have even taped over their bellybuttons before for broadcasts. Again, we’ve never seen like a handbook of rules stating that this is required, but from whispers and what we’ve seen idols wearing on screen.

[@stephenholt6956]

I believe in Miggy. He'll figure it out one day

[@oliver9549]

42:57 maybe the most iconic pan I’ve ever seen

[@MaximumDraculaX]

Wait, you guys aren't doing the intro live every week?

[@CoffeeCriminal]

Dave & Busters genuinely looks so freaking cool

[@LipliplipHands]

the amiibo reference with the lego dragon really took me back

[@Ultrathrust]

Not to shame anyone’s fashion, but at a certain point of shortness…a skirt becomes a belt. I don’t know exactly what point that is, but battle cow has reached it.

[@laurenbutcher6303]

The Boys are getting more and more handsome as the years go by!

[@jessg4157]

Justin and Dwight were basically ON THE SCENE, Munch Squad Live

[@feelthejoy]

It’s a Roman style “skirt” so theoretically yes it’s a “bottom”. Justin was on the right track with the historical precedent. It’s def a “both” top n bottom situation. But true, it ain’t pants per se.

[@maryh3999]

Dwight really entering his Alan Wake era

[@keithinadhd6693]

My only complaint is this video is a scant 50 minutes in length. But the jokes were so good and fast it was like two hours! So, it worked out in the end. Though I wish it were three hours long. Which could have happened if the boys had gone on for another 10 minutes.

[@keithinadhd6693]

I bet one of the 6 up votes I got for this comment was from one of the brothers. Probably Griffin because he understands math jokes good.

[@BucklingSwashes]

Really glad Miggy got the posthumous Emmy.

[@xaoslao]

Griffins description of crash bandicoot is so on point

[@BostonTerrierLOVE]

The end effect actually worked really well

[@packmentalitymedia]

All good points, but I am pretty sure Miggy will survive next week.

[@fullmetalfrubafreak]

Yes Justin, indeed there IS a Lego Smaug. I have him and he rests atop my illustrated copy of the Hobbit.

[@fnord3125]

miggy definitely deserves an emmy

[@COlimar788]

Lego dragon rules, justice for the Lego dragon

[@JasonOshinko]

22:46 I like how Griffin nummed up the points like the little guys from Quiplash.

[@ellehenderson8485]

There were variations in The X Filed opening. The "The truth is out there" text was often replaced with different text relevant to the episode.

[@andersledell8643]

Despite that they were not let in by the media police out front, I guarantee this media coverage of the dave and busters opening reached the most eyes by far.

[@adamsransom]

At what point did y'all hit the thumbs up? For me, it was during the angry silence immediately after the Snailman reveal.

[@surfingowl9646]

MORE DWIGHT! New Media's fans are unanimous in wanting a new Sheetz season

[@timeforlaurynsopinion5138]

rip miggy mackerel you were so loved 💔💔💔💔

[@YouPear3]

34:56 “Where does it go then? What do you want?” “I feel like 1!” …. “WHAAAaaATT??” 😂😂😂

[@shockofthenew]

As a non-American the latter half of the Dave & Busters segment felt like a fever dream.

[@dem0n0maniac]

The mirror was 2-way, that's where you WATCH

[@Epinardscaramel]

A cotton candy machine? The future is now 😮

[@innocuousopossum5385]

Miggy never had a chance.😢

[@baltasarjimenez2091]

Griffin not being familiar with Road Rovers is surprising, I feel like they could have made at least one War with Grandpa-style episode out of it

[@ZacharyCusanelli]

18:15 "I fucking hope so!" 😂😂😂

[@Nono-hk3is]

Juice and Dwight looking good tbh

[@sysnootles5039]

parvo isn't kennel cough, you're thinking of bordetella

[@emisformaker]

Thank you! Had to make sure someone said it, and if they hadn't, I was gonna. I had to scroll so far for this.

[@ToroHarfang]

I just want to reply to @DrewCFuhr and say yes LEGO dragon can breathe fire, it has a hole in its mouth specifically to put the fire.

[@phlag]

I *cannot* get enough Dwight.

[@davetriesthis]

This is the first time I watched this show of yours. For me it's the first time he died. Know what I thought? I wonder who will replace him next intro

[@10thDoctorLuver]

Parvo absolutely is not kennel cough 😂 WOOF

[@TheDirtbaggrif]

The troops get Oscars when dogs can vote

[@jordigan6060]

Shouts out to Coal Cat. A real one.

[@moss_yt]

Why were there so many government officials at the opening of a Dave & Buster’s?!?!??!?

[@angrytourist]

Where is the stand alone KZbin video for the intro song and if there isn't one who can I blame?

[@shockofthenew]

The song is called 'No Dogs On The Moon' from the Adventure Zone soundtrack if you want to find it, there are definitely standalone videos out there :)

[@angrytourist]

@@shockofthenew The intro, not the pre-intro. lol

[@shockofthenew]

@@angrytourist ohh, actually yeah that should totally have it's own vid!

[@angrytourist]

@@shockofthenew It would make sharing the show with people a lot easier than tying to explain away the first few minutes of mostly dead air. 😅

[@beebo-]

I need applin on energy dragon. I want them to truly confront the dragon type

[@lexp6099]

stream starts 0:39 skip intro 1:54

We need to start a campaign for Juice to watch HTTYD

McElroy helmed X-Files reboot confirmed!?

[@tiffanyb3147]

Tiny hats..Justin and Travis😂

[@CyclingRoad]

Does this Clubhouse have a supernatural ending?

[@Nono-hk3is]

Dwight is my man!!

[@nathanbohman9641]

Griffin and Justin ranting against Travis needed BLeeM joining in to dispute the injustice done to them.

[@Nono-hk3is]

39:55 oh my ny god i haven't heard the phrase "New Media" used since 1998

[@dinomitedomination]

And yet again, never fails to fill me with rage whenever energies dragon happens... However this week I was able to restrain myself from spiking my coffee this time...

[@Nono-hk3is]

HI DWIGHT!!

[@JennyTaylorFromTheBlock]

+1 for top, bottom, or neither segment polls

[@PanEtRosa]

ah, the liminal space where government touches our everyday lives. it's the space where corporations are born, so it makes sense they'd want to nestle within it during a vulnerable moment like a new store opening.

[@id7484]

thank travis for travis

[@Nono-hk3is]

42:42 the Senator comes out but the congresswoman sends a rep?

[@mariah9824]

I'm sorry do Congresspeople usually send representatives to give statements at fast food arcade openings?? West Virginia seems wild

[@guarloktheterrible8767]

Everyone is just letting Travis slide tossing out a wild statement like "parvo is the medical term for kennel cough" with nary a side eye or comment from chat? Look, he said it with such confidence and I commend him, but parvo is 100% not kennel cough. On a side note, being feline, parvo is said to have formed from a feline virus, so it tracks.

[@chungbertflabbergast5995]

Am I the only one who likes when Miggy dies? Am I a bad person? I love you, Miggy, but I also love when you die >_
