“How’s your family doing?” Legitimately thought Justin about to threaten this man’s family over the phone

[@terrifiedturnips5038]

Justin would never put his own Beautiful Buick Enclave in danger, nor any others.

[@sevencats4964]

same lmao

[@evilcleaver]

I thought this was a reference to the MbMbaM bit

[@lazygreendaygal]

Me watching the beginning: How are they going to ask Patty to book the Rolling Stones?

[@nardolphin]

Pretty much

[@BoojumFed]

I miss Patty...

[@sleepypercy]

I wonder how many Hungtingtonians just rolls their eyes and think "Ah, Clint's boy is at it again"

[@evilcleaver]

Certainly Mayor Steve Williams

[@chiplickums9263]

Patty could've got the rolling stones

[@notafan1139]

If you've got the money miss patty got the honey

[@caw5312]

The people of Huntington seem to be a patient, generous bunch.

[@goatking2983]

I mean they've been putting up with the McElroy's from day one lmao, I think the town's just become used to their "art" XD

[@djripley42]

Surely they’re used to this family by now 😂

[@HunterJE]

"Aww Clint's boys at it again..."

[@Anonsage3]

They have the mayor in their pocket. They're untouchable.

Justin has been doing very well keeping a straight face for this show but he really nearly lost it at “Nick. Keith. The Whole Gang.”

[@TurboNoodle]

Mick*

[@rayven7990]

He almost lost it at the mountain bike go fund me too.

[@NZsaltz]

Honestly, I would bet that he did laugh multiple times and they just edited it out on this show in every episode for some reason

[@toryslapper69]

Aren't we all

[@joethanks8479]

inexplicably this is the tonal opposite of the mbmbam show because they edited out all the laughs

[@drskelebone]

"We're at the thinkin' hole." I'm an idiot, because my town doesn't have a thinkin' hole, and I should have moved to one that did.

[@blarg2429]

It's not your fault; you didn't think to because you had no access to a thinkin' hole.

[@kirbymaster6764]

I thought this series was pretty sarcastic, but when Justin pulled out the infinite tokens, I thought it couldn't get any better.

[@levirhoden]

Well they don’t work if you don‘t have all infinity of them

[@Yammenkow]

This ep was cleary an excuse for these two grown men to spend a chill afternoon playing air hockey and laser tag. Respect.

[@evilcleaver]

And that is luxury

[@Vallam23]

I love that their budget is clearly higher than they're pretending it is but lower than they're pretending that they think it is

[@BradGreer]

That speakerphone call has huge "The McElroy Brothers Will Be in Trolls World Tour" energy.

" O R I G I N A L C O M M E R C I A L S "

[@CalsCalzones]

when justin said "get your boogie shoes" i was so ready to see jimmy buffet tbh

[@halcyonacoustic7366]

The most recent Jimmy Buffett MBMBAM guestpert episode had a "private concert" of sorts (french, jazz chord version of Margaritaville). But this was filmed years before that.

[@bshorrar]

Filmed in 2017 lookin like 2020 in that arcade.

[@qTINp]

I feel like I have ascended as a peasant

[@engineerbill7140]

6:55 - There is no way Justin just picked up that bucket FULL of coins with one hand

[@Jonbutter]

they don't call him Justin "Big Muscles" McElroy for nothin

[@maggiemegal579]

I feel reasonably confident that bucket was mostly full of styrofoam or a similar substance and only contained a layer of coins... but then again, who am I to doubt our big strong boy?

[@cococoyle7044]

It was definitely not filled with coins. source: lifting cointainers filled with coins. Actually once I needed clay for a project and filled a 5-gallon (same size as in the video) with clay from the art department and ot was nearly impossible to carry even an inch off the floor even between me and a strong friend with both of us lifting. Coins--definitely denser than clay!

[@JohnGottschalk]

The coins at an arcade are probably made from tin or plastic, definitely lift able by big boy "juice" mcelroy

[@Br1tann1a]

The seaQuest DSV tape is proof enough that Dwight is a man of taste.

[@jessesherer9792]

When you finally get that Sheets sponsor 💅💎💰

[@junaidkamalie3088]

700 Dollars at the arcade? Truly the boys have spent their TV fortune on the heights of luxury

[@tevers94]

At 5:00 I feel like Justin is about to crack, that mountain bike comment caught him off guard.

[@CorneleusGreen]

My personal Thinking Hole is the Toilet. I sit here now and absorb this pure beauty as I expend the stress of the day.

[@jacoblambert1586]

Ahh yes Huntington’s most scenic venues: Big Green Pawn The Thinking Hole Billy Bobs Pizza I love this town

[@Perfect.Spirited.]

In a way this series coming out 3 years after the fact is poignant because being able to do even their versions of any of these things would indeed be a luxury at this point.

[@elbiggamehunter]

“We’re at the thinking hole” line almost killed me.

[@sevencats4964]

that "almost?" was so sympathetic

[@feathersoffancy8988]

My shock at seeing Busto 2.0 when they were making that call is immeasurable

[@hollyfelis4197]

you mean the mannequin? the plain, undecorated wooden mannequin??

[@knittinninja]

@@hollyfelis4197 no that is definitely Busto 2.0, the corporal form of an eldrich god.

@@hollyfelis4197 where there's a will, there's a way, and if i know anything about Busto 2.0, he always, always will

[@hollyfelis4197]

i'm just saying; if they wanted to make a reference, they would've used an actual crash-test dummy, with the test-dummy symbols on it and everything

[@feathersoffancy8988]

@@hollyfelis4197 oh no no, i'm not saying you're wrong that an entirely undecorated mannequin isn't supposed to be harkening back to an omnipotent orange god, i'm simply saying that i must spread the good news of Busto 2.0 whenever i have the chance, and, as a society, we don't talk about crash dummies enough. Therefore, i must cram in my niche reference in inopportune moments like this one. you understand, i'm sure

[@jessieiseman]

This series is the thing that I didn't know I needed to spend my lunch break watching.

[@Oberon123]

i'm assuming they wanted to sell this to a network when they filmed it in 2017, and just gave up and released it? would explain why they ambigously say "this is us talking to 'The Network'", and why they waited 3 whole years to release it....

[@LochlanONeil]

So I looked up the arcade, and apparently the place is called "Billy Bob's Wonderland." I'd recommend looking it up, cause the animatronics are... something.

[@TrioArtsOfficial]

I'm a native to Huntington and those animatronics are simultaneously the most nostalgic and cursed beings I've ever witnessed. 7/10 would see Billy Bob shred banjo again.

[@DarkwingSnark]

Money well spent, in my opinion. Having a whole arcade to myself AND the Rock-afire Explosion? WHAT A DEAL!

[@nturner2176]

Hey, props to the editors and camera operators!

"I almost got there" LOL

[@kaicaelum9181]

I have a hard time believing Justin delivers those intro lines on the first try. Gonna need to see those bloopers at some point.

[@toryslapper69]

Nothing has quite conveyed That Air Hockey Madness in any cinema i've encountered quite as exquisitely as that final sequence

[@stormaggeden]

ok but $700 worth of tokens really feels like luxury to me

[@theiveyed8677]

Could we start a second GoFundMe to get Dwight a motor bike?

[@brads5979]

Dwight's reaction to unlimited air hockey was the best part

[@MissMechaZero]

I have ALWAYS wanted to stretch a strip of tickets across an entire room. Well done gentlemen. Well done.

[@kriswilson8034]

The unblurred Beach Bear under a tarp fucking killed me.

[@montist1]

My mind is blown by that performance. Must see. Too bad it’s private.

[@engineerbill7140]

3:05 - "Just see what you can do"

[@BethAnn10987]

But you can buy an air hockey table For like 150.

[@skizooooooooo]

But the tickets can get you a mini gumball machine and that's priceless!

[@shockofthenew]

The entire final section of this episode is glorious. Pure joy.

[@tranquility1991]

Lost it at the "if you stole it, we don't want it" sign. Peak small-town Appalachia 🤣

[@deanc9195]

WHO IS THE NETWORK? Who was this originally meant for? Oh no, was this meant to be a Quibi original series?

[@tevers94]

Now that you mention it, the length of the episodes and them all dropping at once means that could be true. Either way, it was a pleasant surprise to come across today.

Back of the napkin math but that bucket had to be only 1/4 filled otherwise it would have destroyed those cheap ass tables. Justin could obviously lift 10x that with ease.

[@swanofoceane]

It's hilarious that justin says that thing about making a good tv show in spite of the network and then that network went bankrupt

[@TrioArtsOfficial]

It's called Billy Bob's Wonderland so you may have missed it because of the name.

[@broomob]

yes

[@younggiant9697]

Living 5 minutes from the Huntington mall and the Billy Bob’s they are at in this episode is so odd. I feel like if I walked to a random public place on a Tuesday at 11am I might see Justin filming god only knows what.

So fucking stupid 🤣🤣 I love every second of it, you beautiful bastards!!! 💚💚💚
