Loving this new Ready Player One trailer

[@timbeaux1]

I would like to send you a check for 10,000 American dollars

[@mediocreandworse59]

I was hit by a wave of nostalgia because Arby was my childhood

[@polarautumn2506]

Pepsi man was called "peppy man" in his entrance. i just can't rn

[@actuallyalias]

Justin blasting them at the end for interrupting his paternity leave was incredible

[@dex624]

New favorite Pat quote: "Did I tell you about the time Sheamus saw my ass?"

[@mamahorseteeth9780]

i heard "signed" at first

[@nightcollapse]

Carolyn Moore. *DiD I tElL yOu AbOuT tHe TiMe WWE cHaMpIoN sHeAmUs SiGnEd My AsS?*

[@fuckgandor]

i feel like sheamus is the best star to be in that scenario with because i feel like he's the one that's most likely to just. never bring it up or care at all.

[@imjust_a]

Holy crap how does Justin just go from rolling along with rating Arby to instantly brutalizing Pat and Griffin in mere seconds.

[@RockstarTurtle8]

The sight of Weird Human Knuckles crawling up behind spider-walking Naruto John Cena while Soul Man plays in the background is probably going to feature in my nightmares tonight and I'm kind of okay with that

[@anotherwesley7661]

Arby going in for that tender, cradling kiss half a dozen times while Goku coquettishly pushes him away is the only highlight reel I need

[@someoldcliche]

It worries me how Justin appears to have such thorough knowledge of the Arbys menu

[@c.m.880]

i don't care that this is a year later i'm going to answer anyway: Munch Squad

[@defn0tjake]

@@c.m.880 I don't care that this is two years even later: I WANNA MUNCH

[@MayorAura]

@@defn0tjake SQUAD!

[@redumulis2448]

I'm bothered that the image of what Arby's is, is better than what I'll receive if I go.

[@defn0tjake]

“I was nude and struggling” - Pat Gill

[@jjju3]

Naked and afraid

[@taakotuesdays]

B-atiful! I FUCKING CHOKED OH MY LORD

[@ghoulstreet]

Me being born

[@holyflutterofgod]

11:57 The image of Arby mockingly dancing and shouting profanities at Goku while Goku sits, shoulders humped, absolutely defeated and depressed, will haunt me.

[@ashrishaw5435]

I can't believe Griffin made me listen to him say the words "goku mpreg porn" strung together in a sentence with my own two ears. Like thanks! I *hate* it.

[@PeeZBee]

Like, zoinks scoob!

[@caseywheelwright4769]

Okay so right away, just that somebody managed to put together "'The Maskman' Jim Carrey" is pretty stellar.

[@caseywheelwright4769]

Also, rewatching this later: whoever made that Jack Sparrow 100% should have used Shinsuke Nakamura's entrance.

[@ThatPazuzu]

Arby's victims: Goku, the frame rate

[@katekursive1370]

This is what I imagine Avengers: Infinity War will be like

[@purpleYamask]

Brave Kate they had to split the movie into two parts because having 60+ characters interacting gives you like two frames a second but because they shot it in 60...

[@NullaKaulitz]

awful framerate, everyone is half an inch tall

[@purpleYamask]

nulls Thanos clips through the ring at 30mph

[@katekursive1370]

Bat There's no shame in being enthusiastic!

[@AmyJayne1]

having seen infinity war, i can confirm this is EXACTLY what it was like

[@tempestSH]

"There you go...ku." i caught that, Pat.

[@autismeister]

Pat saying Pepsiman like it's a surname is really Good

[@wef6146]

Full name Fizz E Pepsiman

[@thefinalflower]

alternate title: polygon employee reveals sordid encounter with professional wrestler in new england gym

[@GippyHappy]

Justin does not skip a beat. Griffin calls him while he's trying to enjoy time with his new child to rate a horrid creature and he just goes straight to rattling off Arby's menu items, what a guy.

[@duncanurquhart5278]

Nobody actually knows what the Monster Factory schedule is, new episodes just materialize out of the void sometimes.

[@flyrefi]

*whispers* every other Friday

[@caalsinceage4]

whispers except most of the time it isn't

[@Julia-e]

every other Friday, except when they're on a break.

[@robinsparrow1618]

No one at Polygon actually is involved in making them. They're just generated on a private internet server and uploaded to the channel. It's pretty fucked up if you think about it.

[@user-qq4tj8gm8b]

Duncan Urquhart i usually get notifications pretty early in the morning (time zone) and the episodes are sometimes private before they are released fully, and so i just roll out of bed and see a new monster factory, but i can’t watch it, and it just MESSES with me.

[@FowlFolk]

John Cena absolutely knows who Naruto is. He said that Fist of the North Star inspired him to build his body until he too could punch people until they exploded.

[@milaraenowak7335]

this really just looks like a bunch of wrestlers cosplayed as their favourite characters for a match lmao i love it

[@mediocreandworse59]

Just looks like another day on Hollywood Boulevard

[@liriodendronlasianthus]

@@mediocreandworse59 we need Evil Elmo

[@sophia7715]

ah yes, my favourite character, *Ronald McDonald*

[@sabriel_]

i love how griffin says 'what the fuck' and 'gosh dang it' in the same sentence

[@mercurials]

how about spider walk but at naruto run speed

[@realxized]

Sofia Irene thanks! I hate it

[@folksgloves]

That is the most horrifying sentence I’ve ever read

[@bravetherainbow]

you just described The Exorcist

[@FSEThompson]

Imagine that shit running towards you in a deadend alley at midnight

[@mallowhoney]

I think I saw a Korean webcomic like that once...

[@90sPikachu]

but seriously why was sheamus there all of a sudden??

[@hannahjayne8566]

He took one look at Pat's ass in that changing room, and was hungry for more.

[@missfuneralsong]

im sad pat didnt campaign for the inclusion of that waluigi, but at the same time i understand. he didn't want to see his hero brought so low. by arby.

[@danslalalalune]

he is busy studying for the big test

[@ejay52]

Arby answers the question: 'What if John Lennon was a Venice Beach street performer?'

[@maxwell_young]

lets talk briefly about mcdonalds!

[@danielpeyovich3675]

My sister just asked, "Isn't Goku a kind of beef?" I'm crying.

[@stationshelter]

yeah goku is kind of a beef

[@caseywheelwright4769]

Nah she's thinking of Cell-arc Tenshinhan.

[@katekursive1370]

Night Vale's "the lights above the Arby's" gets a completely new meaning

[@governor_explosion]

I want a crossover Monster Factory/MBMBaM and WTNV one-off podcast that's just them affectionately dunking on Arby's for an hour...and it just turns out to be an actual commercial for Arby's.

[@Ostermond]

Completely different.

[@imp8453]

yes

[@littlerabbitbite91]

I swear to god if Griffin gets on a mpreg tip I’m going to scream until I die

[@TheMrNcode]

people coming in the top hole and out the bottom

[@suborbitalprocess]

All those Amiibos he ate have to come out somewhere

[@xalrath]

"i'll get the rock pregnant, like in my fanart" Griffin "Dwayne "The Pebble" Johnson" McElroy

[@UntilYouAreSoNude]

Pat is such a good co host.

[@greatturning]

He's a top notch color commentator

[@zoinks-scoob]

I specifically want an extended series of these episodes with pat

[@hosebeefstick]

I wish Arby was my dad.

[@0axel078]

He is everyone’s dad.

[@bennyworm4384]

Arby is everyone’s dad

[@ThatBlueWanderer]

I find that this game is much more fun when you just make the characters and then have the computer play both

[@caseywheelwright4769]

It really is. Actually playing it yourself is a miserable experience.

[@ThatBlueWanderer]

casey wheelwright True. Also, it's always fun watching the computers try to figure out how to do a fight

[@caseywheelwright4769]

And when they occasionally just like, forget what they're there for and stare into each other's eyes for a while.

[@ThatBlueWanderer]

Oh yeah, you gotta love when two wrestlers just get lost in each other's eyes and share a very special moment.

[@goldfishrevolution4247]

Mark my words "I've stunlocked Pepsi man with the splash damage from my kicks" will go on my gravestone

[@DictionaryDylan]

11:23 "There you go.. ku." That joke was absolutely the worst thing ever and I could not be more proud of Doctor Wrestling.

[@PaulSoth]

Arby is that guy who goes into a dollar store and gives other customers his unsolicited opinion on everything.

[@heybuddy3616]

I feel like he would also do this at cracker barrel and/or the local playground

[@thedanyesful]

Yeah sometimes at the dollar store, but more often at the goodwill outlet.

[@ananimal9779]

Wow this is accurate. Also has one of those small, white, curly-haired dogs and listens to The Grateful Dead.

[@lemonzess4202]

Whoever made that The Mask character put in so much effort. It’s great.

[@MagicSwordKing]

This video was preceded by an ad for the Arby's Miami Cuban sandwich. I don't know if that was intentional or not, and honestly I don't know which option is more impressive.

[@mikehenderson7907]

Andrew Galan Every single Game Grumps video I've watched for the last month has been preceded by an Imodium ad about diarrhoea.

[@euphratesk2943]

the last three minutes of this video are legitimately the scariest thing i’ve ever seen

[@DanRaymondYoung]

The new Smash Bros. looks good.

[@harley6300]

I fell of my skateboard and cut up my face yesterday. Laughing at this really hurt. Worth it tho.

[@shrimpstance]

Island Boy "Hoops" McElroy, father of 2 and the original chuckle boy out here once again.

[@distantignition]

I can definitively say that Griffin zooming in on that guy in the audience while getting Justin's rating on the phone is, no hyperbole, the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. Tears were streaming down my face. I thought I was losing my mind. I started tasting colors and Jesus appeared to me so I dedicated my life to him and then he turned into satan. All of that is true except for the last bit.

[@aunttifa847]

Monster Factory is the only series where I can experience raucous laughter, weeping from a pain I cannot place nor imagine, spiritual release, and existential dread at exactly the same time.

[@jacoblambert1586]

"just a cool oppurtunity to look away from my week old daughter..." absolutely wrecked

[@nuttybutty9028]

this was like watching a super smash brawl between cosplayers in a dennys parking lot at 9 at night absolutely smacked outta your mind

[@cl5uo]

As a cosplayer, I now have a new life goal

[@tonimartinez320]

Contrasted against anyone other than his own brothers, Griffin seems like the most inattentive and chaotic demon

[@Cali565899]

john cena as naruto uzumaki doing that spider-walk truly unnerved me in a way i hadnt expected when i clicked on this video

[@leahlurie4315]

okay but pat's story??? what else is he hiding from us

[@birdieshot96]

I felt physical pain when I saw that thumbnail

[@majklacik]

Is Pat a nevernude?

[@xXsdsrcptcXx]

i could not have clicked the notification for this fast enough

[@gabriellarena2256]

You guys should totally do a whole series of just WWE monstrosities

[@ThatPazuzu]

I know nothing about wrestling so why would you ever, ever spider walk? What tactical advantage does being defenseless and upside down offer?

[@littlerabbitbite91]

It looks dope!!!

[@caseywheelwright4769]

I'd imagine that move comes from a wrestler that has some kind of supernatural/demonic possession angle. It's probably a heavy-handed signal to the audience that "oh shit, he's going spooky now, [other guy] is in for some shit!"

[@ojcorp]

there are no tactics in wrestling my man

[@SamsaraTAS]

rewatch the second episode of this trilogy. now imagine bray wyatt doing that spider walk. now imagine that in real life. that's his thing. bray wyatt does this thing in real life wrestle-times. that's why it's in the game. thaaaaaaat's wrestling!

[@stefanowohsdioghasdhisdg4806]

It's the Voldo method: Be as weird and bizarre as possible, and people won't try to fight you.

[@pearse9116]

Is that Barts dad at the end?

[@katyamsden7624]

Toe to tip, that's definitely a Homer

[@barnyardhouse]

wow the white house video game violence montage is as disturbing as they said

[@shockofthenew]

So many good lines in this one, but Pat's "there you go... ku" at 11:22 really got me for some reason

[@imjustlookinglol]

god i love griffins little "heh.. heh.." at 0:15

[@kingcrimson4133]

He's saying "Pat".

[@factcore2630]

Arbys may be 83 overall but all 83 points are in Fighting. Putting him at 100 would mean ruining what makes him lovable! HE IS OUR FAVORITE!!

[@olojondro73]

BEFORE YOU WATCH pause it at 14:00

[@kappaross6124]

I don't know whether to thank you or hate you.

[@realsheep42]

Thanks I hate it

[@annebeach6630]

I was having a rough day. This made me laugh cry and made my boyfriend angry from laughing while he was trying to win some sweet sweet chiki dinners. Thank you Griff, thank you Pat for the gift of Arby's.

[@TheOtherJohnDudebro]

great to see former edbw champion pepsiman getting back in the ring with a legend like Arby "The Meathead" McDonald

Justin roasting them as they slowly zoom into that npcs screwed up face is what gives my life meaning

[@ryseintide9332]

I would literally watch a series that was just pat and griffin and some good good wrestleboys

[@RicksRoads]

So i just saw the trailer for the sims 5 and oh BOY are y'all gonna have some fun

[@nono474]

There wasn´t been an announcement for the sims 5 yet or a trailer though? Unless I missed something

i liked my own comment cos i agree with me

[@sabriel_]

i'm calling the police
