McElroy Family Clubhouse: One must imagine Sisyphus happy

[@LetMeintheLibrary]

Underrated comment

[@user-vs2ql5gb1b]

One must imagine Miggy alive 💔

[@shaurmiath6719]

The image of Travis being dragged in chains by his brothers, crying "I wanna look, please! There's collectibles, please," just has me laughing so hard.

[@jimbo_13]

Loved this episode of McElroy Family Tughouse

[@quietadah]

😂😂

[@nukleon4808]

Just want to appreciate the bit Justin had after he said “You guys are holding me back.” Underneath Travis’s response he said “And also in the game” and I found that really funny

[@yeehaw1776]

Im still not over justin saying he wouldnt be the problem and then immediately ignoring the game to focus on getting his brothers to notice his sock hands 😂😂

[@quietadah]

I think we've learned today that there are 4 subsets of Clubhouse fans: hate Celeste, love Celeste, hate all game content, and will watch pretty much any content they put out.

[@quietadah]

Personally, I thought this had all the fun of Celeste with the added hilarity of three dudes chained together.

[@Iantennis]

I’m in the latter category. Love Celeste, love this, love DKC2, gimme it all.

[@misigisim]

I loved watching you fail at Celeste, for what it's worth. The payoff when you succeeded was that much greater for it.

[@JacobFelten]

Very much agree! Helps when the soundtrack is great too.

[@lancebaker9153]

I was really hoping they would try Chained Together, but I agree the Celeste playthrough was amazing!

[@outbakjak]

AGREED. MORE CELESTE. Eventually you boys may beat it and have the actual, literal world record speedrun of 3 hearts 6 thumbs% even if only for a short time. Regardless I'm on the edge of my seat with every freaking attempt, every death, I love it! Comment in a separate thread if you agree so that they see it!

[@outbakjak]

​@@lancebaker9153they might, and that would be freaking amazing, but Celeste is old and stressful so it's okay if it takes them a long time... WELL... literally mid comment the show started and I realized they DID play chained together so. Oops. Lmfao. Hope they come back to Celeste

[@BassLiberators]

Something about Celeste isn't as fun to watch as Mario but I can't put my finger on why.

[@sharkofjoy]

Travis weeping over not being allowed to gather collectibles because he's playing with other people is so relatable.

[@TheJamesAJoyce]

I would watch 100 hours of the three of you playing this and then 1,000 more when Clint joins.

[@cameronjackson7216]

the clubhouse has become a spot of joy in my workday as a screen companion. Know that the the brothers are helping to make theatre possible in Oregon!

Another vote for "Today, I won't be the problem" merch

[@frankie9754]

everyone else watching the intro: maybe this time miggy wont die… me watching the intro: maybe this time justin won’t twerk…

[@Prisoner619B]

I don't understand how people can't enjoy watching you guys play Celeste 😭 My favorite era of 3 bois, 1 controller was back when they started and played Super Mario, still with the lag too. And it was just so much fun to watch them start coming up with ways on how to "solve" the level, getting frustrated, but also laughing more and more. I still rewatch those videos a lot xD

[@duckmiller3742]

I might not watch your gaming streams as closely as the non-game content (makes perfect sleep aid lol), but I still wholeheartedly support you all making the content you want to make - you are three of the most hilarious, wholesome people on the planet and it baffles me that anyone can complain about yall inviting us to watch you goof around every week, keep it up and know you’re appreciated ❤

[@quietadah]

All of this!

[@jennifergraves2547]

What absolute Philistines complained about how you play Celeste?? It was pure comedy gold!

[@jennifergraves2547]

Fellow viewers, y'all gotta do something else while you watch them struggle with games. If all you're doing is watching them hit the same meatball over and over, then yes I can see it being stressful, but if they're hitting the same meatball over and over while you're QC'ing that latest fiber design job by the worst designer on your team, then it really eases the rage you feel over having to explain the same damn mistakes to the same friggin' guy for the 15th time this week.😄

[@Reecef266]

@@jennifergraves2547 to be brutally honest, I don’t think the McElroys are interested in putting out content that is on in the background.

[@Jedicake]

If we're in the complete honesty zone, I wasn't a big fan of those episodes. But I give you my word that I never once complained about it. Just not my style.

[@jamesmccomb9525]

​​@@jennifergraves2547Content that can only be enjoyed whilst not actively paying attention to it is not a good form of entertainment. Nobody should aspire to be background noise. Speaking personally though, I loved it full stop. Seeing them get increasingly agitated and failing over and over again is actually really fun for me, I enjoy seeing people in anguish because it's like a catharsis relief situation.

I'm rewatching this ep after I watched a lot of random youtube video compilations of funny New Girl scenes so now I fully appreciate Travis's "You bought me cookie, I buy you cookie." at 7:18

Miggy dies every intro but is alive during the show because the INTRO HASN’T HAPPENED YET. Great Nostradamus, what bleak vision of the future does this charming animation portent?!?

Holy shit! Did we just find out Trav is the puzzles guy?

[@PanEtRosa]

he was 100% the puzzle guy from the start of TAZ, at least

[@hannahdeprey-severance7597]

Maybe it's because I always watch the VOD but I love watching Celeste, I really appreciate the iterative problem-solving process! It also takes on a rogue-like quality which is absolutely my jam, though I sympathize if that's not enjoyable for the brothers to live in. And Celeste is way more rewarding than DK2 was.

[@jennifergraves2547]

Justin: "Now hold on, are there any wings?" Me: "Frig, now I want buffalo wings."

hey! who's the ppl that said celeste wasn't fun to watch?! that was the funniest thing Ive ever seen. I will be throwing hands.

[@Isopherus]

Although I didn't complain about Celeste, I'm so glad to see you play something else. Celeste felt so repetitive and to be honest, not very visually appealing. I look forward to watching you guys every week. So far, trial by fieri, super Mario world, and y'all going through the old nes library have been my favorites!

[@moonbasket]

This game looks so fun! I do miss Celeste, but a palate cleanser makes sense. Great team work, lads.

The McElroy Family Tughouse: Griffin- pixel perfect platformer Travis- puzzles, mapping, tactics Justin- morale, yellowstone Miggy- boner adjudicator

[@Levacque]

Is "easy game for babies" a McElroy Bros original? It tickles part of my memory and I can't tell if I'm just remembering Trial by Fieri.

[@Nono-hk3is]

"easy *blank* for babies" is definitely an old McElroy staple, which probably means it comes from something relatively old/obscure.

[@Levacque]

@@Nono-hk3is lol ok I'm probably getting it from one of the old podcasts, I ran through all of them this year

I really hope y'all don't stop playing Celeste. I love to put that on and laugh with/at y'all, it makes me really genuinely happy.

[@FlamingSwordOfDoom]

so ive been watching this on repeat for 29 hours and decided to tally a subjective b0n3r count from the beginning: B0n3r Count (defined by who caused them to fall or AFKs without communicating. can be more than one person) Justin: ||||| ||||| ||| Final Count-13 Travis: ||||| ||||| ||||| Final Count-15 Griffin: ||||| ||||| ||||| | Final Count-16 Recovery Count (defined by b0ners averted, or when a fall does not occur after 2+ brothers are completely off the platform unintentionally. tallied by fault) Justin: ||||| ||||| ||||| ||| Final Count-18 Travis: ||||| ||| Final Count-8 Griffin: ||||| ||||| |||| Final Count-14 Travis Torn Count (defined as times wherein if Travis were a flesh and blood man instead of a video game one, he would have been torn in half) ||||| ||||| Final Count-10 (quick note, FOUR of these are on the example post which is completely unnecessary except for understanding a game mechanic which is so far used on ONE PIPE. justin and griffin just decided to wrap travis around it every time they had to reset. most of the others are related to ladders or boxes that travis was caught on and his brothers decided to just run instead of pausing for half a second to free him. 12/10 amazing choices) Justin total fall cause count-31 Travis total fall cause count-23 Griffin total fall cause count-30 Top 3 moments where i laughed until i was crying and couldnt breathe: 8:35, 42:50, 1:15:40 i really hope they record the entire game, this is my favorite video they've done since quitting polygon it's amazing

[@FlamingSwordOfDoom]

an observation: travis despite being the middle chain causes the LEAST number of total falls. however when he does fall he recovers so rarely compared to justin and griffin

[@FlamingSwordOfDoom]

also a note about my travis torn count, i did not count falls, or when they were hanging from the hook, or similar things to those. instead i only counted times where travis HIMSELF is wrapped around something not just the chain being pulled. there is one exception, a moment where griffin and justin are intentionally just pulling opposite ways and travis says something like "im going to be pulled in half!" which i thought was close enough lol

[@chriswest6988]

Is this the only group of players in history who switched over to chained together to relax because it was a less frustrating co op game than what they were doing previously?

[@DG-rb1rh]

This is so anxiety inducing omg 😂😂😂

[@nielsenja]

ok ily boys but saying clint wasn’t there because he “went to heaven” before the context of the game being set in hell was scary for my heart

Oh my god I can feel the blisters just from watching this 😭

[@mackmpls]

12:30 Count us to the funny Griffin! Something, something, old dogs, new tricks.

Rachel was right. Griffin really does talk about Diarrhea a lot. I'm wondering if Yellowstone is a red herring and Diarrhea has been the sponsor this whole time.

I know you guys have been in this game for a while and are probably hardened to criticism, but I just want to throw another viewpoint into the void: you guys are so entertaining at what you do, and I assure you those criticisms come from a place of wanting to see you guys at your best. And maybe some dickheads in the mix.
