Thanks, hero.

[@jayasada8002]

The actual song is called Rock and Roll by Gary Glitter

actually its been 14 years

I feel like a train level with many hidden blocks and warp blocks and a hidden 1-up mushroom behind the train would make this game much better

I am so ecstatic that LE has come back, and more than that coming back in a seemingly new recording.

[@LOS18]

no joke when i heard Ellie I shouted. it's been such a long time. i occasionally just randomly remember the old videos. i cant believe it's been 4 years

[@nextkestrel]

btw a while ago ellie said to put “banana soule” as your senior quote while she was drunk and i actually did it.

I'm so proud of you

This is awesome

[@lazerman3686]

can u give us a tenor image of it? like blur face and name ofc but it would be beautiful

Imagine that the last thing you hear before anesthesia kicks in Ellie singing "this is the road, this is the rainbow road"

[@caseyp5861]

As all creatures are bound to do Jacob and Jo have returned to Banana Soule.

[@Blue-Science]

I find it hilarious that when they originally did the little outie fight, it was Jacob telling Jo that he had to stay in the ring, and this time it was the exact opposite.

[@MasacoMike]

I love it when KZbin promotes the "The Way Home" movie for me to buy on the right side of the video, thank you Jacob Alpharad (Gold Ver.)!

The fact Jacob is against Harlem shake Wednesday deeply saddens me

[@toastr1255]

This really brought a smile to my face. I remember I was there for those old monkey ball videos and it's honestly nostalgic to have Ellie and monkey ball together again. Once she started the harlem shake wednesday bit I realized that despite how much I've changed in the years since the original banana soule video, she really hasn't changed much at all, and that's beautiful. Keep at it, Ellie.

[@MegAmi24]

Day 22 of waiting for Jacob's funny story. All that's missing from this video is the stock intro and Tyler's signature red comic sans text. Happy Harlem Shake Wednesday!

[@gaemor_guy]

the truest return to form. brings a tear to my eye.

[@HannahKossen]

I think that Ellie and dash would get along really well

[@jstar3382]

[@JiroTheFro]

The smile that thumbnail and title gave me is so big The smile I had as soon as I heard Ellie was even bigger than that. I am so happy

[@andrewdavis200]

Hearing Ellie again was so wholesome. I am glad she's doing well for herself and her cat is adorable, especially the matching eyes to fur color. We certainly won't say no to more Ellie in future videos if she is up for it.

[@sommeone]

NO WAY I was not prepared for how excited I am for the Ellie guest appearance!!!

[@mdt03]

It’s so great to have LE back for a vid. I revisit the legendary monkey ball play through and smashed bros every once in a while

​@@PJOZeus I know, it just feels wrong not waiting until late at night for the next upload

[@misirtere9836]

The entire reason they planned out december is because that's ad revenue month, and the revenue's better if you're consistent

[@LeLeafBoi]

I think one of the funniest things now is that at the time of writing this comment (December 18th, 2023), youtube has a lil recommendation on like buying or renting a movie called "The Way Home" underneath the title of this video (on mobile I should say).

[@MorikawaMelodies]
