MBMBaM Animatic | Play Along at Home

[@toetotipthatsabart5048]

there is nothing better than the brothers just tearing Travis to shreds while he continues falling down a rabbit hole of his design

[@nickgwinner3136]

SadLibs and Riddle Me Piss

[@Greenwickpress]

He thrives on ignoring them and continuing with his favorite ideas. XD I just enjoy how happy he is with his personal bits.

[@jupiterroxx7936]

sir, i am here to tell you that the person falling in a pit for this joke is 100% griifin. The "gag" here is that travis doesn't care if it's technically "good", but griffin cares SO MUCH, and we get to listen to him rage about the premise.

[@THEMADDMAXX67]

@@nickgwinner3136 I like riddle me piss. its not that long and bothers the other two a ton. sadlibs and play along at home are both too long and have no point.

[@Brandonhayes-r6e]

You act like Travis wasn't playing them into his hand the whole time

[@colinmichaelroberts]

I don't even think Justin dislikes the bit, I just think he wants to be mean to Travis with his sweet baby brother

[@lassoroot]

Justin guessing 220 and Griffin guessing 221 is SUCH baby brother energy

[@nicestpancake]

Honestly watching MBMBAM always ends up validating my "different siblings have different energies" belief and I love it. ;u;

[@pricklyplant]

As the youngest child in my family, I can corroborate this.

justin giving a genuine guess just to get it over with is oldest brother energy for sure. coming from an eldest sibling

[@sammikits8001]

I agree, and I would know. I am also a baby

[@pallida.M0rs]

My favorite bits are the ones where Travis holds both his brothers and the podcast hostage.

[@nicestpancake]

It just showcases siblingship so beautifully, y'know? Because usually Justin is vibin' due to his longer experience with being overrode by Travis but Griffin usually goes ballistic but Travis, Travis our boi. He's true chaos in these bits.

[@jackmanthe4th]

like the old meat bit

[@marq6929]

Same! lol This is the good stuff; where they open up the hatch a little on their relationship and expose who knows what and who hates losing xD

[@athenaash3335]

Oh! The whole thing!

[@dcarter020809]

Honestly they're always hilarious

[@self6942]

Play Along at Home is so great because of how absurd it is and also how much Justin and Griffin hate it.

[@erinmcgruddy3874]

and the way travis keeps the same upbeat tone with all their complaints is so good i love it

[@LagginLikeHell]

The only reason I like it is because of the audible-turned-visible pain it causes Juice and Griff 😩👌

The fact that it happen so _often_ too is what makes it so great.

I just really enjoy how Travis says "Play Along at Home" every time. It's like you can hear him pronouncing the capital letters.

[@Wertsir]

So they can Play Along at Home.

[@BadCoverMan]

It sounds like each word is his child and he doesn’t want to sound like he loves one of them more than another.

[@DrewDawkins]

I love when Travis pulls out this old gag. It ages well.... Like old beef.

Travis just repeating "play along at home" to all of griffins protests is the biggest big brother energy ever.

[@Ooffoop]

Play Along at Home*

[@aila6814]

you cant argue with it, its just over powering.

[@partlyironic]

I literally LOVE the moments when I am not sure to what extent Travis is in on the joke.

[@glyph1869]

The fact that he does it again and again after this, same with sad libs, is proof I think that he's absolutely in on the joke. It feels like sibling ribbing for sure and I love it.

[@nicestpancake]

@@glyph1869 Travis' humour is also incredibly choice and I think he makes stupid jokes like this specifically for his brothers to rib on as his part of the entertainment because he knows his humour is really bad most of the time. Personally I think it's just our middlest boi utilizing his weakness as a strength for the podcast. And I love him for it- I love all of them for different reasons equally but I love him in this instance for doing this.

[@partlyironic]

Nicest Pancake WHEEEERRE did this perception come from that Travis isn’t funny?! His humour is “really bad”?! What?!

[@TRquiet]

People here are saying Travis does this so his brothers get a chance to be funny by ribbing him... but no. Travis does this because it genuinely amuses Justin and *infuriates* Griffin. Remember, Trav and Grif lived together as adults, and they’re brothers, so the desire to injure each other emotionally is both strong and eternal.

[@WaitinInAmber]

@@TRquiet I adore this comment so much 😂🤣

[@TyGently]

"so you ADMIT it's a valley!"

[@Kat-qe1vk]

As a sibling lemme say Travis knows EXACTLY what he's doing holding his brothers captive and he's LOVING it

[@hardyworld]

Travis is brilliant! This segment had me rolling when it was released. Travis staying extremely positive during the debrief while the brothers lay into him was amazing. This is a step up from Sad Libs and and I hope it continues as an occasional segment.

[@WG55]

I'm still not sure if "Play Along at Home" is or isn't a practical joke by Travis. 🤔

[@someoneofnoimportance2856]

Its a genuinely made effort to include listeners and honestly- I love and support him no matter how much his brothers rip him for it.

[@mitkitty]

Its both a joke AND genuine!

[@mitkitty]

@Aftab Shahzad tbh i find it the most hilarious part-like him deliberately setting up the most recent one to infuriate the two of them-but make them mad at EACH OTHER bc Justin doesn't know shit about pokemon

[@sommeone]

I honestly feel like "Play along at home" is one of the funniest segments in the show, almost entirely because of how aggressively and unapologetically unfunny it is

[@glyph1869]

@@sommeone It's intentional, almost certainly. Travis is a very earnest guy, but he's not an idiot. He knows it's a terrible segment, and much like Sad Libs, the humor comes when Justin and Griffin are basically trapped for the duration of the bit. It's why both of them are some of my favorite bits; he's taking a bullet so that Jokes the Clown can make humor out of his injuries.

[@nicestpancake]

Justin, Older Brother, Used To His Brother's Stupid Ideas; Enjoying it, laughing at his baby brothers, vibin Travis, Middle Child, Stupid Idea Giver; Genuinely pure, baby boi, doesn't see the flaw in his plan Griffin, Littlest Brother; pure anger, genuinity, babiest boi fitin

That's some social psychology of siblings right there

[@BaskervilleLacie]

god THANK u for animating this, play along at home is my new favorite segment _solely_ because griffin gets really angry every time it happens

I always love Griffin's _indignation_ at Travis or Justin's bull. It's so beautifully lovely and babiest child that I just feel my heart get all big inside.

[@emo-slime-mold]

Griffin being mad because he lost is peak youngest sibling energy

[@sydneyford6640]

I love how Justin and Griffin were so reluctant and then Griffin immediately got competitive when Justin played along. As a youngest sibling, I completely relate

[@strawberryfrog2721]

THE WAY TRAVIS GOT SO ANGRY AND THEN WAY LIKE "sorry"

I for one enjoy PAAH. I did in fact yell at my screen during the most recent PAAH where neither griffin nor justin knew the origin of the name for the iconic Poké'd-mon "Pikachu"

I love that Griffin is alone in the backseat, real youngest sibling energy there

[@That_Ozian]

I usually can't deal with them just ripping Trav a new one, but this segment? I don't know man-- this is the funniest thing and I can't tell whether it's the little bit of venom we get from Trav in his calm continuation of the bit-- or that he snaps back at Griffin, I just love this to death.

[@Cheapiebeepie]

Travis’s trolling of his brothers is magnificent and masterful. Every time he does a new segment I am overjoyed. It’s such a good bit.

[@lich4109]

I love griffins audible detest for this bit yet he always gets excited and brags when he gets a question right 😂

[@UltimateBurstLP]

Very good details from this 1. Justin the wizard making a >:3 face at the end 2. The “listenable podcast trees” being Flop House and ONRAC

Hey Travis (because I know you watch all of the third party MBMBAM animatics and read the comments below, hello), just wanted to drop by to say I love it, but I would say the goal has actually already been achieved, as I already yell "what are you talking about?!" to my phone nearly every episode.

I don't know where he got such a high number from. Travis is 8'3". That's 8.25'. The Empire State Building is 1,454′ to tip. 1,454/8.25=176.242424. That's 177 Travises or Travi.

[@GippyHappy]

8'3? Wow I never would have guessed he was so tall. I guess I need to go to the live shows.

[@LordCantalo]

@@GippyHappy 1) I have no idea why that happened, be it a finger slip or thinking about the conversion, but I don't know. 2) For some reason, there is now nothing that actually has his height on record, so I can't check nor fix anything.

[@GippyHappy]

Lord Cantalo most people say that Griffin is “taller than they expected” and a couple of sources says he’s 5’10. I don’t know if I buy that. Maybe he’s like 5’8. Anyway Travis is taller than him so maybe he’s 5’10?

[@LordCantalo]

@@GippyHappy I saw stuff like that, but there was no certainty. I remember getting his height from certainty last time, but apparently not. Oh well.

[@bubblinebee]

@@GippyHappy I know it's an old thread but, going by the reverse of the math, dividing the height of the empire state building by 250 would put Travis at 5'9.6". Kudos.

[@jackjensen422]

[@jaystewart9862]

I love how absolutely crazy Travis looks in this

[@Secondary_Identifier]

I like to think that being a new dad he was tired, emotional, watching a lot of early children's entertainment and thought to himself that this might earnestly be a good idea for the show and create a little child friendly segment he could share with his, I believe, daughter. And I for one liked it.

[@Hex_the_Warlock]

I like the "it cant all be peaks and no vall-- oh wait."

[@DeathnoteBB]

I swear every time Justin and Travis do something “unfunny” Griffin calls them out for way longer than they spent on the first thing. It’s like when a teacher yells at a class for wasting time
