Merobiba You've Done it Again (a drawfee fan animation) (part 2)

[@CallaSoreon]

My favorite part of this whole bit is that Nathan thought it sucked but the audience ate it up and continues it on.

[@harpeowl]

The fire at the end represence our support

[@basementdwellercosplay]

He wanted a banger, here we go

[@diabelskiananas8679]

I have to agree with Nathan

[@rattersworld1016]

[@rebecca7203]

Merobiba was my introduction to Drawfee, and now I’m a huge fan. This truly was the banger episode they needed!

[@sarahbearbabygirl]

the talk show format is perfect because the laugh track + nathan’s absolute lack of amusement + all the drawfs in suits is just so great

[@kilo3989]

Those outfits really *suit* them, don't they? I'm Merobiba!

[@NWolfsson]

Nathan was trying... SO hard to come up with his own idea, and Julia was SO unrelenting with the Merida jokes :')

[@DeepBlueInk]

Merobiba's chat show faces were soooooooo goooooooood ARLOOOOOOOOOOOO ❤❤❤

DeepBlueInk, commenting on a Drawfee Merobiba Animation, over a year ago, with only 90 likes how even

[@crimsoninsight97]

I have so much love for Merobiba and the fact that the most creative of the community said, "yes this is perfect, maybe the best drawfee episode ever even"

[@cookiekingdom6911]

"I'm Merobiba!"

[@recurvestickerdragon]

Nathan's Banger came true

[@joor2665]

Fan fact that you should notice FNO: Nathan was annoyed by Julia's bit at first, but is now quoting and impressioning and meming Merobiba Every god damn live and is absolutely on with the joke, and generally just dieing of laughter everytime someone says "I'm Merobiba". The man learned to appreciate this stupidly hilarious bit and it's the best arc ever.

[@IckyNeko]

It's his revenge at her for the potty gnome pics.

[@lunameriweather7693]

merobiba- aka julia and nathan losing their minds aaka just a typical drawfee episode

[@gljames24]

and Jacob

[@EdoDave]

Ok, the way you designed Nathan's beard is god tier and I'm ashamed that I'm only just now discovering your channel.

[@harpeowl]

Don't be ashamed to come here at this golden time... when you are walking the highlands of Scotland It doesn't matter how long it took you to get there

[@Vee_of_the_Weald]

Same here… thanks to Nathan’s Big Boss Man épisode. I was so impressed (and terrified!) that I subscribed right away. Now I’m binging on more animations. Loving it!

[@AbhorrentDelight]

The bear audience was INCREDIBLE

[@lillianb8762]

Merobiba cracking jokes while she's drawn and quartered by her bear family! This is so weird and I loves it!

[@robbiegarber898]

1:14 The eyes sliding off Merobiba's face got me.

[@harpeowl]

Me when alergie hit

[@lizzzylavender]

The funniest part is how Merobiba genuinely became the banger episode. Everybody fucking loves Merobiba

[@HyperHardHead]

The lipsyncs at 0:49 and 1:07 are so satisfying to me. Don't get me wrong, the entire animation was awesome with many silky smooth moments, but I just wanted to point to these two bits and say: "I like this :)"

[@marys4038]

It’s a little more exaggerated but I’m also a big fan of 2:32, love the way her head moves when she says it

[@tuesdaywithanh]

and the way Jacob merobiba's eyes entirely drip off at 1:16 is also really good :)

[@Refog1]

You managed to create "most played" bumps in the play-bar, just thought you might want to know

[@HyperHardHead]

@@Refog1 Haha true, I feel powerful!

[@pedrosalles9273]

Not only the animation and the style are AMAZING as usual. BUT THE CONCEPTS! God, you killed it, Nathan as the host, the program, and him calling on the phone booth looking like an angry NY psychoanalyst are so creative, I live.

[@twojuiceman]

Nathan going into the phone booth to talk with Julia is such a good interpretation. Like, I'm pretty sure there's not a single phone booth left in my city, but the shot of him opening the door with the snow swirling around him is such good storytelling. I know everything I need to know about this version of Nathan

[@from_no_where]

I love how much your Merobiba constantly goes from being derpy to lapsing back into existential horror at what shes done its great.

[@harpeowl]

Oh Merobiba you done it again

[@Lyonisloud]

If only merobiba could watch this 😔. she’d say “I’m merobiba” or something like that. frfr.

[@IckyNeko]

Nathan giving Julia the side eye, while being "glad this makes YOU so happy, Julia.". 😘👌 Chef kiss!

[@GuitarSlayer136]

I love how Julia managed to conjure a bit with the same spiritual energy as the gnome picture.

[@pandorkful]

*Julia Drawfee:* "Plz show your support, I need validation for my jokes" *Drawfee Audience:* (gloms onto Merobiba so hard that the term "Merobiba" is BLOCKED IN DRAWFEE'S TWITCH CHAT TO THIS DAY) *Merobiba:* I'm Mewobiba!

[@Warrigt]

0:33 Jacob's hiccup laugh. I need more!

[@kilo3989]

2:43 Oh my gosh Cold Nathan just makes my tiny heart go 🥺

[@s.hiessl149]

the turn-around at 1:42 is incredible

[@hudsontheyellowlabradorret9536]

Jacob hiding in the wool of a sheep was not something I knew I needed, but I’m glad I’ve seen it

[@EdKauffmann]

for some reason I absolutely lost it at the visual of Nathan having to step out into a phonebooth to make his call to Julia

[@Unownshipper]

The expressive/aggressive way you animate, it's always funny, always entertaining. Love the Drawfee crew in suits for some reason. Is Nathan fully cognizant of just how much Merobiba has "taken off" at this point?

[@awittypseudonym2520]

Oh they know. They know that Merobiba, like an eternal eldritch abomination, had consumed all. They can try to keep it down, but it is inevitable. We are all Merobiba.

[@SkyP9812]

@@awittypseudonym2520 She is inevita- uh, I mean... She's Mewobiba!

[@corancoranthemagicalman]

I think at this point the word is actually still banned from their Twitch Chat since it kept getting spammed, so I'd say that's a solid "yeah" LOL

[@busesimsek2105]

They had to ban ALL versions of the word to make sure chat would let it go, you can tell how much they got tired of the bit after watching the hunger games stream lol

[@corancoranthemagicalman]

@@busesimsek2105 Oh yeah I was there. I remember everyone figuring out fun ways to get around the censor so that we could just talk about the competitor. Didn't even think about the consequence being more variations, but I could definitely hear the strain in their voices lol

[@ariadnestyx1463]

The way you lit some of the scenes is so stunningly atmospheric - you knocked this out of the park.

[@TheKarishi]

With all the fire I'm now imagining a picture of Merobiba in the pose of the "smiling girl in front of burning building" meme. The image of 1:05 gets kind of close but you don't get the sense that Merobiba has come to love the flames until farther in the video.

[@harpeowl]

Oh boy

[@comfycat6166]

The shading, Julia’s spiral to Merobiba, the TALK show, Nathan’s mustache’s shenanigans, so beautifully done! 😮

[@ShinyMew888]

This was so fun to watch, you really captured Nathan's exhaustion with the whole bit lmao also, the decision to make part of it a late night interview and thus put all the drawfee hosts in suits was inspired

[@eiragwen]

Her face at 1:26 is everything.

[@harpeowl]

Oh mom you're so unbearable

[@The.o.k]

1:14 Beautiful detail on back merobiba ugh this is the finest of awt I can not beWEEEVE it's fwee

[@Mothness]

The bear audiences and the end drawing look so nice.

[@hap2581]

Tiny detail but the way the hair moves around 0:30 is really nice to look at Even when the character has stopped or is moving on less frames the hair just exudes so much energy

[@Pete_the_Fuzzball]

Usually I feel sorry for Jacob but today Nathan has all my sympathies....I'm MEROBIBA

[@killerqueeenie]

i am obsessed with how julia floats around in the background zero gravity at the beginning

[@neptunite5973]

The animation for nathan walking to the telephone box was gooooddd!!

[@luwucy13]

This is the cutest Merobiba I´ve seen so far :D love how bouncy her hair is (and her arson lol)

[@MasterLagoz]

Nathan: I want a banger episode. Julia: Mewobiba, take it or leave it.

[@xazz]

I love the part both in this and on drawfee where Nathan is like 'is anyone still watching?' LIKE NOT ONLY AM I WATCHING I AM RIVETED!

[@fpcooper95]

0:24 big business Julia is amazzzzinngggg 😂😂😂😂❤

[@harpeowl]

I love her ring

[@woodwinston854]

Why you so good? i also love the way the animation goes from almost still to fluid again at 2:23

[@Kyplar]

ME TOO!!! Both the juxtaposition and just the lovingly crafted fluidity there was incredible

[@Jerry_attrick]

You've really outdone yourself!!! my fav is the bear audience it's so good!!!!!

[@EKimatH]

One more reason why Drawfee is great: LOOK AT THIS FKN BONKERS DELIGHTFUL ANIMATION Y’ALL, we wouldn’t have anything to do with all those unique and talented but not very uniform or mainstream animators, bless the Drawfee crew for providing top tier high quality nonsense for animators who want to explore their creativity and test the limits of this medium

[@NoahBility]

*[standing ovation and cheers from live studio audience]*

[@ijlayugan4149]

The moments where Julia just shrinks and floats in the air when she laughs gets me

[@Abby_wa]

I didn't really register how much Julia cackled during this bit until seeing her flop around in your animation.

[@cammo353]

Nathan just, like, not being on board with the bit but being too nice to put a hard stop to it really elevated the whole thing

[@marys4038]

You didn’t have to include such a dynamic scene and background at 2:45 but you did. Congrats on your wonderful 90+ hours of work!!! That’s so cool!!!!

[@harpeowl]

Dang that big snow flake flowing so smoothly Ewen at a half slowed down

[@whispywind1015]

I absolutely love this animation! I love how dynamic it is. Merobiba was my first Drawfee episode and I have been a die hard fan since. I swear it never gets old, definitely a real banger episode indeed.

[@marys4038]

The laugh track in this is SO unsettling I love it

[@fangirl258]

the concept of nathan baring through the snow to get to a payphone to call julia just to tell her he wants a banger episode in the next record in 2023 is endlessly amusing to me

[@Nina-gf1fv]

Arlo Sterling, you've done it again!

[@harpeowl]

You are Merobiba!

[@inkwells493]

I LOVE Every Single Frame of this but the one where merobiba slowly turns is truly Cinematic to me

[@gracengeier1149]

Imagine you had the budget for a whole cartoon show in this style, I would absolutely pay to see that. I can tell you put so much work and passion into creating this by going above and beyond with its visuals. Keep it up dude this is so epic!

[@calzone7961]

I will support any and all Merobiba based content

[@ChokeSlham]

So expressive, so explosive 🧨 "I'M MEROBIBA!" Honestly I love that you add the laugh track it finally came to life. Ty

[@monroerobbins7551]

0:17 Julia just floating, lol And the fact that it just ends with both Merobiba and Nathan having an existential crisis, lol

[@mossthemage9948]

the julia expressions.... incredible

[@RarelyAChump]

Merobiba is truly the gift that keeps on giving

[@Obstreperous_Octopus]

I like the visual gag of someone sitting or standing, then when they start to laugh they turn into a lil guy floating in the air-- often rotating as if propelled in-place by their own laughter. It's as if laughing enough causes you to shrink in size and also become unaffected by gravity.

[@goodpeople25]

Half the fun of Merobiba animations is what bits get latched onto and from the bear audience to how on the nose the bear witch is, there are some greats ones I haven't seen much of before.

[@twojuiceman]

There has never been a more expressive character than Merobiba

[@murrayb1969]

The melting Merobiba eyes, the DIMENSION in Nathan's close-up mustache, THE FLUIDITY ON THE ANIMATION WHEN MEROBIBA SAYS "IM MEWOBIBA" (after the heart-wrenching speech) - I watched that part like five times. Its all so beautiful. And the internal lore of this animation that they're big wig execs???? Chef's kiss MWUAH

[@Faulk425]

I love julias absolute violations against gravity throughout the whole video

[@margothutton]

I just want to watch nothing but Arlo Sterling animated Nathan laughter for the rest of the day.

[@juriepica1174]

god it's just so good, it has no right to be this gooood like your BRAAAAAAIN

[@eliteunicorns]

My face hurts so bad from laughing. This was the longest three minutes and twenty four seconds of my entire life! It just kept going. I love Nathan's mustache and how it's a part of his expressions.

[@violetcyclops]

The full-body expressions get me every time. This was incredible! And the backgrounds were above and beyond, like you did not have to go this HARD with the snowy phone booth, the talkshow set, the whole end image?? the result was absolutely perfect, 11 out of 10, am about to replay

[@PeanutwormZ]

2:26 WHEN YOU ADD SO MANY FRAMES TO HER SAYING IM MEWOBIBA I SPAT OUT MY DRINK OH MY GOD

[@uneducatedswamplet]

i absolutely love the frantic poses

[@whiteradish1539]

M-arlo-biba, you've done it again! That's the M-arlo-biba waay~

[@freddogrosso9835]

If Merobiba doesn't put them in the map, nothing will at this point. But for real, tho. Great work, Arlo.

[@harpeowl]

I roar with laughter just like the bears watching this

[@harpeowl]

I will watch this over

[@harpeowl]

And over

[@harpeowl]

And over again

[@harpeowl]

Am Merobiba!

[@bluebutton7263]

I just wanted to let you know that this is not just my favourite out of all Merobiba Animations, but this has also become one of my favourite Videos of 2023 in general. The completely unhinged expressions you drew throughout this animation: Julia's and Jacob's enthusiasm, Merobiba as this weird little gremlin, all the bears and Nathan trying to cope with the situation at hand before breaking down after Julia mentions their talk before the episode - almost every single frame of this animation brings me happiness and laughter. So thanks for putting in the work and animating Merobiba in all her glory, I just can't help but rewatching this every couple of weeks. :)

[@ecowo57]

I like Julia vertically rotating while laughing

[@Saxdude26]

OH MY ME, the laugh tracks are sending me. I'M MEROBIBA! As if this WASN'T a banger episode!

[@MiracleMags]

I’m pretty sure Julia was in fact floating in the air Mary Poppins “I love to Laugh” style when this bit happened

[@nadeen3157]

The anime level variation in detail for emphasis is so good

[@snipperjoey1151]

Your laughing animations always give me life.

[@deathtone1614]

The gift that keeps on giving

[@sosukelele]

This drawfee bit is one of my absolute favorites and I'm so happy seeing the animations

[@86fifty]

2:52 - I love this little bit!! There's so many distinct versions of Nathan in this SHORT little space of time! Tiny Head, jagged moustache, just x-eyed ded! Absolutely stoked that you'll be starting a Patreon and I'll be very stoked to join it when it opens!!

[@harpeowl]

It kills me every time he goes 😵

[@SenorVilla]

This is my all-time favorite bit, and what you've done with it is a piece of art.

[@nielsenja]

low key obsessed with Semi Casual Businessman Nathan

[@magpieMOB]

Holy shit, you just keep pushing on - this one felt like it was on a new level, which is saying something since the summoning of Primordial Goof was so goshdarn cinematic, but the amount of places you managed to take this one, while still fitting in gorgeous character animation, *chefs kiss*

[@TheNo1pencil]

I love how Merobiba behaves on the talk show. She's perfect.

[@LookOntheFrightside]

I love how expressive and fluid everything is. Julia losing her shit in the background is my absolute favorite.

[@ariannebrodeur]

My favorite thing about this episode is that Nathan doesn't laugh ONCE until Julia brings up his desire for a banger episode and then he ERUPTS in the most VISCERAL laughter at the irony and it's adds SO MUCH to an already HILARIOUS episode like I will never get over the way Julia cry laughs through "And you go... that's what happens when you merobiba!!"

[@matt.the.viewer]

Late night talk-show host Nathan silently shaking with rage is very good

[@josieholloway3286]

Probably my favourite thing about this whole bit is the switcheroo of the usual dynamic. Most times with Julia’s bits Jacob gets so immediately mad and tries to shut her down and Nathan has to be the supporter/yes man/“let her cook”. My second favourite thing about this is whole bit is this gorgeous animation, I’m obsessed with the movement and facial expression you capture! As someone with EXTREMELY limited animation experience, you are truly an inspiration for me to continue making progress.

[@praiserehersalvideos]

I love that you added the laugh track! I've been looking for an animation of this that did it.

[@mortua_conjuga]

the audience all being bears is fucking phenomenal

[@Eurazba]

This was glorious, the bear audience was hilarious. I'm so glad Merobiba's has extended so far

[@KelsangGyudzhin]

0:23 STRONG BUSINESS JULIA

[@dronte_de]

Appreciation comment for Julia just full on rotating at the mere idea of merobiba

[@electronic_rat]

The way you animate laughter is truly so funny. It gets me every time. It’s so expressive

[@zcubeDbz]

This is one of if not my favorite bit of theirs. The part that gets me is when Julia says that her and Nathan were talking about needing a banger and him losing it at the realization

[@rattersworld1016]

This is amazing. HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU COLOR THE WHOLE THING THIS BEAUTIFULLY??? Also, I'll never get tired of how you draw. It's so expressive.

[@sampotter4857]

this was so worth the wait and i'm so glad everyone loves merobiba as much as me i'm merobiba

[@xmlthegreat]

This animation style is wild and in some parts it gets so satisfying to suddenly see smooth movement. It's trippy, I like it.
