'decorative gourd futures' lmao

[@krasotabella9675]

how are all your animations so INCREDIBLE!!! The character design, the flow, the use of comedic space, the genuine creativity??? These are phenomenal!

[@startush]

thank you! ^^

[@shockofthenew]

The settings! The camerawork! Justin's sleep-deprived mania, Griffin's vest 'n visor combo, the notes on the inside of the tunnel to the basement... You always bring the bit to life perfectly, this was so satisfying.

[@BusketPosket]

tired: mbmbam animations with single-frame goofs wired: mbmbam animations with newsprint livejournal entries 👋 👋

[@BostonTerrierLOVE]

What I so enjoy about your work is that you play with the audio. Often I’ll see static settings or just the 3 brothers sitting at a table. And while I’m very aware of how long it takes to make stuff like this, and that more complexity means more time, you seem to fit so much into your pieces with such efficiency! Another great one. Stonks!

[@startush]

thank you so much!!!

[@snowybookwyrm]

love that travis and griffin are one colour but justin gets to have regular hair

[@LuckySketches]

He can afford a second color because of how well his stocks are doing.

[@half_pixel]

Love this!! Griffin's expressions are hilarious

[@ManyMonstersMedia]

copy pasting the bee movie script is still a good and valued meme!

[@jazzmakingstuff5213]

they're just always so fluid damn

[@nowherels64]

Fantastic!!! I loved the detail on the newspaper spread, sorry you're feeling burnt out! For what it's worth, I think you're awesome and your animations are awesome!

[@startush]

AHHH thank you, I was typing that up late at night so probably got a little melodramatic - but I appreciate you!

[@Goldenheart_345]

Back from the dead, love of my life

[@sleuthfoot2179]

Another absolute banger of an animation 🤌💥

[@Lavarpsu10]

The extra effort into the newspaper stories and the writing on the basement wall as Justin descends, 😙🤌

[@jakeisjake112]

This felt so much longer than a minute and a half, just cus of the detail you shoved into this.

[@Sahdirah]

That was fucking GLORIOUS

[@JayofLemuria]

SO good!!! Your work is always improving so much! Which is saying something because you’ve always shared such killer stuff??? This is amazing! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@startush]

thank you!! yeah i'm learning a lot - OpenToonz is a powerhouse :)

[@kobyhaigerty3157]

The “Whaddya Think” reference was impeccable

[@startush]

THANK YOU lol it's a favorite video among my friends

[@Nick-vk4gw]

u need more subs this is amazing

[@magicoA]

As someone who also puts literally tiny nearly unreadable or findable Easter eggs in my designs,I super appreciate the newspaper bit and all the real text you journaled there.

[@wdfinbllngsly]

Hell yeah!

[@tegandumpleton3360]

Weed? This character must be Canadian

[@LasagnaTheArtist]

I absolutely adore this style, it's so energetic and expressive!! Incredible work!!!

[@blebonick7088]

yoo... the vertigo reference? The bull, the animated numbers? You are so talented

[@startush]

You just cracked the code on the Vertigo reference - that must have snuck in through my subconscious because that was not intentional! Thank you!!

[@noahfreeman8115]

fells very midnight gospel, i love it

[@celestialbinch]

This is maybe my new fave mbmbam animation on all of KZbin (I have legit seen them all) thank you

[@startush]

thank YOU

[@snowybookwyrm]

read the newspaper bit you put in there, i hope you're doing well and that you're able to manage burnout reasonably! i don't expect any sort of consistency from any youtuber or creator ever, it's always a pleasant surprise. so i hope you're doing well and that your other two projects go smoothly!

[@startush]

ah thank you!! the decision to write and include that passage was made extremely late at night, right before i made my final render XP i'm doing well and i appreciate the kind words!

[@ThatOneIrishFurry]

THE FCC CANNOT KNOW ABOUT THIS PODCAST

[@jacobhoefer7695]

Ah! the falling papers asset! from episode 20-whatever! where travis throws his abnimal papers in the square!

[@startush]

JEEEEEEEZ good eye dude, I wasn't expecting anyone to catch that

[@TK-_-GZ]

Algorithmic punch

[@lineetta]

this is a work of genius, the animations and expressions are all so good!!

[@startush]

thanks! 💗

[@Fat4all]

WELCOME TO SAD MONEY

[@debdebberton]

the fact that you used a dog stencil to paint over Jim Cramer temporarily sent me to another dimension

[@DanetteBall]

"KZbinr admits procrastinating two major projects" XD

[@Lavalampfullofsoup]

this is so good, the animation is so smooth! I love this hah

[@peridotperson]

I literally have never been so excited for the return of a channel in my life

[@hp8685]

this is sick! i just know i'm gonna be noticing new things with each rewatch :3

[@hillsonn]

This is incredible. Thank you.

[@_Spacecraft]

This is by far my favorite mbmbam animator

[@ferichorct750]

There are so many wonderful little details. Smokin' Droopy scratches such an "I grew up on Cartoon Network" stoner itch. The idea that a newspaper would publish the Bee Movie script. (RIP Jerry Stiller.) The "hang in there!" in the elevator shaft. Choice.

[@Giga-lemesh]

Beautiful

[@mothmansapprentice]

i love your animations sm

[@alexv3372]

When your spirit is down but so is the stock market:

[@Ancusohm]

Ha! This is funny. Great work with the animation. 👍

[@cheekycartoons1637]

amazing animation!!

[@startush]

fanks! :>

[@b.rogers8452]

GREATJOB

[@startush]

👋👋

[@resaleketchup5149]

I was reading the paper lol good take

[@juliawhitmore3991]

I would like to point out Travis kicking his legs at 0:50

[@Just_One_Tree]

Excellent!

[@TeagueChrystie]

This is an actual Dan Olson video.

[@wblakekimber]

And Startush returns from the æther to bless us with more content based on our favourite good good boys.

[@startush]

ty ty happy to be here 🙏

A few times in the last 7 years or so people have recommended various marijuana stocks, citing this reason or that, usually because they heard something from somewhere. It's never worked out for any of them. I get the impression that marijuana was a competitive market before legalization, and it's only gotten worse with it. In fact I'm not even sure how prices haven't tanked aside from soft price fixing and illegal sales across state lines (growing in a legal state to ultimately sell where its illegal). Suffice to say, if you invest in pot, your money is liable to go up in smokes.

[@yitzakIr]

This is really good! But you need to take it down, you risk the SEC finding out about the bit
