Monster Factory: Jim "Captain Cool" Johnman's Don Bradman Cricket 14

Donny, you're out of your element.

[@krablord]

As much as I love the creation process, the highlight here is clearly Justin & Griffin trying to figure out literally anything about cricket

[@notquitedovahkiin6243]

There's something about them finding out about Don Bradman for the first time that is gorgeous.

"We can 62 in our goo chamber until we both yell." Griffin is too good at making alien fakey dialogue.

They call him _Jim "Captain Cool" Johnman_ , but we see him in the eyes of everyone we call _Mate_

[@TheSkeletonSquad]

Jim is a combination of every previous monster factory character. He has visual ties to Toucan Dan and Final Pam. He is an athlete like Turbovicki. He can create clones of himself like Chiquita Dave. There are so many unknown powers to this vessel that frankly he terrifies me. Also if Don Bradman was a zombie he would kill 99.94% of the world's population, leaving behind only 4.5 million survivors. Which is the rough population of Alberta, Canada. God help us all...

I saw another comment saying Jim looks like one of the Final Pam’s sons, and your comment made me think he might be the offspring of Pam and Toucan Dan. Chiquita Dave is his cousin.

[@joelstanley3376]

As an Australian and a McElroy fan, I thought I'd never see the day when Cricket and Monster Factory would crossover. Listening to Justin and Griffin try and figure out cricket is so strange yet so hilariously satisfying.

[@spite_cadet]

the nature of monster factory is just that every so often we accidentally invent toucan dan again

Just for the record, the Bodyline tactic in cricket was literally just trying to injure Bradman as quickly as possible. It wasn't like a trick to bowl faster or get a weird bounce - they just tried to bounce it into him as fast as possible to hurt him.

[@atomicthumbsV2]

at that point the only way to stop don bradman was violence

[@Folkloreo]

It’s simple... we kill the Bradman

[@Brudenasbro]

As an Australian who is actually aware of the cultural significance of the absolute unit, the man the myth the legend Don Bradman I approve of this video. Also I would totally watch a video of the boys literally just reacting to watching a cricket match.

[@Anafyral666]

My dad described cricket as the perfect game to watch drunk and out of it cos it's just a lot of waiting and exciting moments sometimes and they've got pretty visuals

[@roidroid]

and you can scream at *any* moment. People will think you're either excited for something in the game, or trying to start a new chant-song.

[@PaleCentaur]

I know absolutely nothing about cricket, except that Don Bradman is the single greatest athlete of any sport ever, which is insane to say but still 100% true.

[@sawyerstein5162]

I found the “how I make bread guy” and I can confirm that is exactly what he looked like.

[@onikoneko]

I feel like this is the platonic ideal of a Monster Factory episode. From the confusion over an obscure meme, to accidentally making the most intensely sexual glare, to inexplicably cloning, to the shocked screams over the power of the character creator, to the awe and respect when they discover who Don Bradman is, just everything about this episode is perfection.
