Michaels Shopper Chat - Wonderful! Kinetic Typography (Rachel and Griffin McElroy)

This is one of my all time fave Wonderful bits so I just had to do this.
This video is the result of a fairly long fight with depression and executive dysfunction and though the war might still be raging, this specific battle has been won :)
Audio from Wonderful! Ep 151. Voices of Griffin and Rachel McElroy.
Huge shout out to Michael for letting me use his face :^)

All that Photoshop effort to put "BRENDA" on the store front for one second, you deserve a promotion

[@elladumpsterfire]

I saw this comment and rewatched the video for it. I passed it a second time and still didn't catch it until I skipped back a third time. Magnificent work.

Things I like: - this new, very aggressive tagline for Michael's - the flying chainsaw in the coffin bit - your videos - you

[@saoirse_games5951]

As someone who works at Michael's, I would pay to see that fist fight happen in our store

[@redacted2077]

As someone who also works at Michael's, I agree

[@Yammenkow]

This should be the new replacement for yahoo answers

[@betheleanor]

i remember when people discovered that the michaels shoppers chat was a free for all in like late 2020/early 2021 (so i guess when this episode went live??) and for like, two beautiful magical nights it was chaos. i miss it a lot.

[@elladumpsterfire]

I wasn't there for it so I'm really happy griffin and rachel talked about it

[@nickyfray]

hey! I’m the guy who’s tweets griffin is reading!! i had no idea this was on KZbin and this video kicks ass, makes it so much sweeter hearing one of the funniest people alive reading my dumb jokes AND somebody animating them!! such great work, thanks for the dopamine.

[@elladumpsterfire]

awh this comment made my night, your tweets were so funny and I'm glad I'm hopefully contributing to people hearing them !

[@katherinehanssler226]

Excuse me while I head on over to that website

[@elladumpsterfire]

[@abj6920]

I had to hold in my laughter as to not upset my cat snuggling up to me, I almost died

[@Dak-xf5qj]

Micheal is really chill for letting you use his face

[@elladumpsterfire]

[@Lena-hz7fk]

losing it at the little vampire coffin bro

[@lwanco1018]

As someone who works at Hobby Lobby what Griffin said about that store is absolutely right.

[@GardensAndGames]

This might get me to listen to Wonderful. I haven't given it a shot yet.

[@elladumpsterfire]

[@OmgItsKavi]

this is so incredibly well done and hilarious!!!

[@elladumpsterfire]

thank you!!

[@lineetta]

Of course it’s the type of humor Griffin enjoys; it’s basically Yahoo Answers! New MBMBAM question source??

[@alisdairreid6998]

How long does it take you to make one of these? Does it get *significantly* quicker/easier with a lot of experience?

[@elladumpsterfire]

idk, I don't really keep track of how long it takes me but if I had to guess it'd be like around 10-15 hours of work all in all? and yes it gets a lot easier to make things look good and you learn a lot of short cuts so the process definitely speeds up but there's still so much manual work you have to do that's always going to take a while.

[@alisdairreid6998]

@@elladumpsterfire Thank you for your reply, and your content! There's a few podcasts I like that I've wanted to do a bit of KT for, but I'm faaar too lazy lol Best of luck to you Ella! :)

[@elladumpsterfire]

@@alisdairreid6998 the good thing about making them is you can leave them for a while and come back to them and you don't have to do that much at a time. like, one of the reasons its hard for me to estimate how much actual work time it took is that i made this one over the course of like a little bit over a month. and it always feels like it pays off in the end so i'd encourage you to try it if you want to. and feel free to let me know if you need any advice or help or anything if you do !

[@anomalapithecus]

yay! wait am i first? i shouldn’t be the first comment! this channel is consistently great.

[@elladumpsterfire]

awh, thank you

[@pbbbtttt8185]

i work at michaels but these guys probably know more than me to be honest

[@elladumpsterfire]

messed up how they make you all legally change your names to michael

[@Slop_Dogg]

wowzerz

[@CEWThree]

Q: I don't live near a Michaels and it makes me sad :(. What do I do? A: Michael 10/10, no notes

[@elladumpsterfire]
