I feel bad for the guy whose parents didn't come. No matter what, his parents should've showed up for the graduation. That's your kid man, it's like a basic parent-responsibilty to be there for one of the biggest milestones in their life.

[@SmileyGlitch]

absolute insanity for no reason...

[@basedblackbeard4456]

​@@Fusion-l6tIn primary 6 my class made a movie, our parents were invited to the premier, everyone's parent's came except mine even tho I kept reminding them to come. I wish I had my copy of the movie, I lost it, i would have uploaded on here even though our teacher said not to do that, it's been over 15 years so I dont think he would care now.

[@Fusion-l6t]

BRO WHY IS EVERY STORYTIME ANIMATOR MYSTERIOUSLY POSTING VIDS AT THE SAME TIME?

[@OliverLonka-on9sq]

IK MAN

[@corvidcosmo]

A lot of them know each other, so I’d think they might have a system to upload on the same day. My theory is that maybe if a viewer is subscribed to one animator, if they see another animator’s channel (by them sharing their video or something), they can check out a video that was made just recently on that person’s channel. Or maybe it’s algorithm stuff possibly.

[@Jimyjonson]

REAL ALL WITHIN THE SAME HOUR

[@seecunning]

​@corvidcosmo Swoosh, Brody, Mazz, James, and even Alan make sense. But Piemations and Cas de Pol as well

[@MikoIsMe1]

They’re planning smth

[@teridomingos3521]

That first story is exactly why I'm leaving grad school. Went through that through middle school, through high school, tried not to let my grades define me in undergrad but the environment was so toxic you were roped in without even realizing it. Everyone at my university was absolutely miserable and I couldn't be trapped there for another two years

Seeing Maaz and Ilyssa as animals was not something I knew I needed 😂

[@AzhSoNaRVTuber]

Seeing Maaz and illy as a cat kinda heals me

[@BlueyHeelerHere543]

Man… Maaz getting bullied as a kid but coping with it in a positive way & being more extroverted is such a big commitment. I wish I could be like that.

[@mysticfox9718]

Maaz was the big person instead of those bullies. Instead of fighting them or destroying their hard work. He just didn’t do any of that. And he’s still the positive and funny guy we all know

[@RushLightInvader]

@@thewierd0gang thanks for telling me, I was trying to figure out what it was called, but then I spelled it Tanookie and I just gave up

[@kingofallhallowseve]

I can relate to something positive coming out of being bullied. For me, it was learning people are going to be shitty so there’s so reason to change yourself for people who don’t respect you. The negative is the second someone is bullying another person I just lose my shit because I want to protect people from being bullied

[@mysticfox9718]

Good for you King! You learned something and you wanted to protect people from bullies. Because you knew how it felt to be bullied.

[@AllMyFriendsRFruit]

Matty B sounds like a legend lol. Surprised the teachers didn’t say anything, did they not know of the nickname or something? I feel like that’d be more affective than sending an email to the entire school. I was fortunate enough to not be bullied, not because I was a bully (being an empath prevented that pretty well I think), but because no one knew I existed 😅. My family moved every year for the first 13 years of my life, so I kinda would just pop into existence for a year and then leave in all the other kid’s lives. Also the cat theme made me way more happy than I think it should’ve, very soft!

[@EstherDe-v1h]

Matt B!

[@Magazine-18]

My heart legit sank when the guy told Maaz that his parents didn't show up for his graduation.💔 I mean just think about it: the biggest milestone in your life is graduating from high school and no one, worse your parents are around to support your success. Personally, I wouldn't forgive my parents if I was him.

[@negligible_reality]

I highly disagree that graduating from high school is the biggest milestone in your life, but yeah his parents still should have been there and it's heartbreaking that they didn't show up simply because he wasn't top of the class

[@basedblackbeard4456]

​@@negligible_realityHigh school graduation seems to be an American thing, I'm from the UK and it's not a big deal, you can leave 2 years earlier if you want, I left 1 year earlier.

[@raindozer249]

Same that was so sad💔

[@beebul2]

Theamaazing, Infamouswoosh, Brodyanimates,Piemations, The odd1sout, and Alan Becker posting in the same day??? THIS IS AWSOME!!!!!!

[@WhimsicalBunn]

I'm watching this video and it's around this time my brother died 5 years ago. There was something about that part in the episode that just healed that grief and pain for even just a second. I had to pause the video and cry a little bit. In a good way.

[@patzer_aadi1314]

This is such a cute, comfy and cool video, really really really liked it Mazz. Illymation is so fun.

[@zekro_o]

"commit arson" on the calendar is crazyyy

[@camcornell4953]

Love how many of my favorite goat animators have already posted videos today with the span of the same amount of time

[@OhryusDraela]

You two work so well together! The betrayal vibes are felt so much

[@orio947]

As someone from a very prestigious high school, I can definitely relate to Maaz here. Of course I'm very grateful to have this opportunity, but the imposter syndrome goes crazyy. Nobody's outwardly toxic, but there's this hegemonic environment of 'if academics isn't your top priority then you will be judged'. And everyone goes oh no I got a 95% instead of a 99% I did so bad. It makes it really difficult for everyone there to realise that all of us are talented just for being in that school in the first place, because when everyone seems insanely gifted, no one does.

[@BrandonJames2016]

Middle school was the worst time of my life like that was basically my most traumatic experience in school. Cause high school it was a complete 180 and it became a great experience.

[@SakeVr]

I’m in mid school and the amount of racism, homophobia, transphobia, people telling others to kts makes me just wanna go to a mental hospital to be outta there-

[@basedblackbeard4456]

From what ages is middle school? UK its primary school and high school.

[@agender_theo]

@@basedblackbeard4456 Middle school is usually ages 10/11-13/14 in the US, but I think it depends on the middle school

Man I love maaz Love from Pakistan

[@Latverian-Citizen-8172]

Subway kid has a redemption arc

[@Maya-rp6bv]

Class clown one was wholesome

[@suzuannrose]

Maaz’s story about his high school reminded me of the stories that I’ve heard from a couple professors about their undergrad experience or academic career/research. They were happy that they got out of that competitive atmosphere.

[@lowlowlowlow1453]

This is an amazing collab

[@decusq]

My bullying went from 1st grade until high school freshman year. By the time I got to Sophomore Year everyone just kinda stopped for the most part. Everyone became too focused on themselves to continue bullying me anymore or thank god some of them grew out of it, i['d still get the occasional insult from someone if i crossed paths with them but it wasn't as terrible for me as it was in Elementary School. I actually met one of my bullies when i worked at a theater and I think he was on a date with his girlfriend and he came up to me like we were old friends or something and i just flat out said "Yeah you''re the guy who used to bully me in the gym locker room till I cried." I just wasn't having it cuz I was working and his girlfriend just looked at him dead ass like she was saying "Alright i'm dumping him after this." And he almost looked shocked that he was viewed as a bully, cuz there are people in School who think they are just pranksters and jokesters and their just playing around it's all fun, but no he was a straight up bully and he looked genuinely shocked that someone would call him a bully. Bullies have such a weird mentality when it comes to making themselves the victims especially when someone tells them they used to be one.

[@GrimArtz_]

Maaz, dang I just realised that you’ve made it so far! Thanks for making my day! 😊

[@mysticfox9718]

My school years were not bad. I wasn’t bullied, I had nice teachers and I did have friends. People’s were nice and helpful. Minus the homeworks, projects, 2 school fights, a food fight and getting to school and classes on time. None of my schools had those competitions natures. Which I’m very grateful for! I would be under too much stress. And I can handle a bit of stress, but not much.

December 14 will go down in history as the most packed storytime animation day in recent history… and they’re all tremendously high quality videos too!
