Monster Factory: The Boy-Mayor of Second Life

[@missyemmy93]

"Can I put my thumbs inside of me?" I mean, Griffin, my dude, that's something you gotta find out for yourself. Live a little.

[@idontcare6736]

He’s put much bigger things in himself than his thumbs I am of course referring to Griffin’s Amiibo Corner

[@izisartsy6109]

I've seen this vid a million times and I just noticed Justin's response is "uh, yeah! if you're patient"

[@bohemient]

Izisartsy I never knew he said that till I read your comment thank you

[@leiram8833]

He could probably fit his thumbs in his mouth pretty easily. Putting them in other places, however, is probably far more challenging and worthwhile.

[@theindomitablemass]

Dude, don’t you know? His walnut is a temple.

[@moistenvelopes]

"HE LOOKS LIKE A HUMAN RANSOM NOTE " Golden.

[@bjamiork]

I can only DREAM of being able to come up with funny shit like this :(

[@Silverwind87]

Douglas Adams would be proud.

[@bunny-xy8zf]

to this day it’s still one of the funniest things i’ve ever heard

[@quantumblauthor7300]

Mr potato head

[@ThePsychedelicGoat]

i kinda wish they'd never figured out the dancing thing and the Boy Mayor had just danced his way through the entire three-part series

[@yellobanana6456]

I'd love to see that alternate universe

[@eggstreme324]

okay, So my dad used to work on second life, and he was one of the people who created the models for the people and the restrictions for them. I showed this video to him an he was overjoyed, he could not stop laughing! thats all I had to say, you made my dad really happy

[@VYxFrost]

that's a beautiful story

[@kmlac6596]

I love this

[@asmrtpop2676]

i would like this but it’s 420

[@cymoncyrado2879]

did he get annoyed that they didn't have the camera in the default follow position

[@asmrtpop2676]

it’s been a month and it’s no longer 420! liked!

[@sehunliker104]

12:37 this shot of the boy-mayor feverishly dancing to nothing but the sound of griffins keyboard as he types a desperate plea to god next to a big Need HELP? sign is so good. im pretty sure thats what they call symbolism

[@favoritemustard3542]

You gave me 2nd Hand laughter LOL

[@CzechAvailabilitie]

Uncanny resemblance to Boris Johnson, former mayor of London.

[@cullenscott7940]

Gunnonni. Boris Johnson, boymayor of London

[@famtomerc]

don't insult the boy mayor like that

[@sgradone]

Gunnonni. and Donald Trump, current US president.

[@Edbrad]

Don't insult our mayor! He was a beautiful animal!

[@sgradone]

Edbrad by thinking it's an insult you made it an insult.

[@ryseintide9332]

second life was, objectively, created solely for this video

[@higgyjiggy2222]

hi rhys it's keena i'm delighted to see you in the monster factory comment section

[@KasranFox]

I wonder if Raz Ogg has seen this video.

[@rachelrachel9152]

Yeah i expected that to be the top comment

[@taylorb213]

This so much later but I’m pretty sure he had to have. Justin said he tweeted and I think that would be the only way people knew about where they were in the game, and if you follow their tweets you most likely have seen their videos? I don’t know I might be wrong.

[@scoopishere7881]

Probably, considering what happens in the finale.

[@mimikyoo]

reference for all the parts in the video where Justin does the Boy Mayor's voice: 4:00 - "I'm ready for my Second Life™" 4:43 - "Is everyone enjoying my Creation?" 16:43 - "Time for a day of fun"

[@f1zz-k1d89]

thanks matt this is really important

[@thelastcarnival]

"all the fünnêlkaeks I can eat :)"

[@kanua5]

poor Raz Ogg. I really felt bad for the guy. true love doesn't come around that often.

[@Dinjur]

"Love em' and leave em' "

[@wadespencer3623]

A man for all seasons, the boy mayor is.

[@gfox9295]

Always leave 'em wanting more.

[@nekroz_of_super_dora3477]

Oh, I’m the kind of mayor, who likes to roam around, Where furry guys are, you know that I’ll be found. I kiss ‘em and I love ‘em, cause to me they’re all the same, I hug ‘em, and I squeeze ‘em, and they don’t even know my name, I’m Second Life’s Boy-Mayor, Second Life’s Boy-Mayor, I fly around, around, around, around, around...

[@ls-rk6hw]

i just tried playing second life for the first time. holy shit. everything's so broken and strange and i got a girlfriend in five minutes

[@Ryan-xo8fj]

Holy shit I thought I commented that? Are you my doppelganger? *Begins plot to kill you before you kill me.*

[@Armageddon325]

Is Second Life free to play? Just wondering.

[@ls-rk6hw]

RazorBaron7x7 yeah

[@ripelivejam]

it only costs your soul.

[@lexi7814]

I tried it about a year or so back and the minute I joined the game, someone gifted me about 10 dildos

[@CallieYote]

So who WAS that lucky furry that was gifted a moment of love with the Mayor-Boy?

[@reade_me]

hes in the finale lol

[@CallieYote]

WhiteWolf448 I saw that, it was great. but I need to k nm 9w the full saga of Raz Ogg

[@reade_me]

Tristen Huffman same WE NEED THIS INFO!

[@Kirbychwan]

we'll never forget you, raz ogg

[@twinsen1949]

You betrayed Raz :(

[@thatguyfromak5190]

He seemed pretty chill for a furry.

[@all-knowingsharerofultimat3151]

I've always though furries were more spastic but I guess I was wrong. Raz must be an ambassador of his people.

[@cocoafox]

it's for sure big enough of a fandom that you'll find people with all types of personalities, be that super extroverted and energetic or chill and introverted or anything in between :P

[@lorendaemon7945]

Twinsen I remember this game! good to see its still weird I used to just fuck around with the bizarrely large amount of fairy stuff and get all the free shit I could find

[@MashieMutt]

We even have nazis....so uhh, yeah that sucks

[@averydavies3922]

I'm disappointed. You didn't get into avatar physics. You could have made Mayor Augustus twerk with wild abandon.

and the worst part is. he kind of does look like paul...

Griffin: can I put my thumbs inside of me? Justin: well yeah if you're patient.

[@homestuck_official]

I’m back again, the Boy Mayor’s adventure is comfort food for me

[@HammerspaceCreature]

I think somebody stole one two many fizzy lifting drinks.

[@malachimusclerat]

he's getting sucked up the chocolate tube

[@saturnoperative4484]

11:52 the condescending, fatherly tone that they use to speak to this gruesome virtual assemblage of semi-human parts that barely resembles a boy is so fucking funny. the like, concerned but also absolutely revolted 'hey bud? hey dude???', the frantic clicking and menu searching because dear god where is the button to get this boy to stop convulsing, the grim acceptance that their hubris has led them to this horrible fate of eternal damnation? this is the best fucking thing humanity has ever produced. we can all rest now.

[@lepus9588]

this is poetry

[@paigerydoodle3496]

I am in tears over the dancing problem.

[@HBlueVanity]

THE I DONT LIKE THE LOOK OF IT KILLED ME

[@timato234]

When I'm feeling down (like today) I often come back to this video, it's like the best sort of comfort food.

[@YoSnap]

it's always good for you, because that's how the Boy Mayor do

[@ViridianBay]

"AGUSTUS!!" *eyes retract into the dark abyss at the back of his head*

[@lizzieandmocha1131]

Okay, all jokes aside, a mystery novel where the main character somehow inherits an amusement park from their grandfather that hasn't been in operation for like forty years due to an unsolved murder would be dope.

[@DragonMaiden77]

There is a story about that you can find on KZbin. Some friends buy an old abandon amusement park where people used to go missing. It was a good story, forget what it was called though

[@crunchyonion]

I think it’s absurd yet accurate to say this video changed my life. This was my first Monster Factory video, so it consequently led me to the McElroys, MBMBAM, and so on. A blessing, truly.

[@dweebus5692]

Whenever I have anxiety or a panic attack I always come to this video. It has given me a lot of comfort over the years. I know almost every word and I lip sinc to it while I watch :)

[@Peachie4011]

I've watched this over and over thru the years also. It has a soothing feeling about it and it takes you to a different place. Hope you are doing well friend.

literally the best comfort series to ever exist

[@moosemaimer]

There needs to be a stronger warning on these videos because they are a goddamn health hazard, I'm going to choke to death on my own mouth.

[@Marqueli]

Why does he remind me of a very messed up version of the Boss Baby

[@NerdySweets3]

​@@matiuhhh2788 he didn't walk, he danced

[@mrmightyena8786]

This is my favorite Monster Factory to rewatch because of the absolute fucking GLEE in their voices at every step, especially during character creation 😂 Griffin completely and suddenly busting up is the most pure and healing thing I've ever heard

[@janab1130]

7 years later and this still hits so good bless you mr mayor

[@Fruckert]

"Like a beautiful dude missile" has been in my vocabulary for seven goddamn years due to this video.

[@xprismperfectx]

rewatching in 2020 for self care

[@robertsmithfan877]

SAME

[@abigailbliss9342]

I know it’s been 7 years but this series is still legitimately the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. I’ve watched it a ridiculous amounts of times and I still laugh until I cry every time.

[@lepus9588]

this video has shaped who i am as a person. i come back here so often

[@beardedemperor]

Griffin: "Can I stop dancing LIKE THE BABY FROM ALLY MCBEAL?!?" Sign: "Need HELP?"

[@Kevbotgaming]

This video honestly deserves millions of views. I laugh myself to tears everytime I watch

[@digitalkaja]

This video is five years old yet I keep coming back

[@willofbob]

He looks like Boris Johnson after an omnibus crash.

[@no1janembafan]

10:42, I like the idea that he uses his...er.... "frontal protrusion" as a rudder while in the air

[@AndorianBlues]

thoughts at the beginning of this video: second life still exists?! thoughts at the end of this video: I kinda want to play second life now

[@rencors9096]

I would love to see what the exact opposite of all these sliders would create

[@rencors9096]

"Second life, you shouldn't have done this!" This is my favorite monster factory. I have cried real tears and couldn't breathe properly through my uncontrollable laughing. I have seen them all, and they can't top this.

[@moldymushroompizza]

Rewatching these and my kid just said the Boy Mayor looks like the human personification of a toe ring

[@megaexplosions]

Now, this game isn't connected to Todd Howard in the literal sense, but on a spiritual level it is Todd through and through

[@solarprncss]

this is very very late but i wanted to revisit this video to say that the Boy Mayor is the exact opposite of the “three little boys in a trench coat” trope

[@oliviamanning2344]

three little trench coats in a boy!

[@growing_paynes]

How did I not know until now that Schlitterbahn is not a popular water park chain and that people who didn’t grow up in Texas have never heard that jingle before

I watch this video whenever I feel sad.

[@ghastsly]

it’s been quite a few years but *god* do i need some healing mcelroy content during this point in history

[@2fortsmostwanted]

I'd say most monster factories are funnier when they build the monster than when they play the game, but second life is so WILD that this boy warrants a series just to play the game I love it every time Griffin says "SEcond liiIIFE?!" every time it does something wack
