Victory McElroyale: Super McElroy Brothers XI

We’re eleven episodes into this series and we’ve finally, truly hit our stride. It’s undeniable. Unless, of course, we’ve secretly stuck in a loop in this spooky forest until we find that damn key. But that couldn’t possibly be the case, could it? Only one way to find out.

Griffin refusing to allow his brothers to take lifesaving medicine in his single-minded, obsessive pursuit of Bowser

[@Sage_the_Turt]

*also single-minded, obsessive pursuit of Coin

[@alisondodge3809]

It's like, if you could hear different parts of your nervous system talking to each other.

[@gwillad]

disco elysium / mcelroy elysium

[@Lavalampfullofsoup]

you're so right

[@TheDoc-Worker]

Yeah, the part that moves you trying to tap out because it's not high anymore maps 1:1 to reality

[@kjerstinspark-stahl105]

The best thing about watching the replay is that when they say “one last time” I can see how far they actually are from that. 😂

[@adrianbeck209]

“I am…completely sober right now” What a vibe

[@bitrotter]

You gotta be high on the hog.

[@handitover.]

"Do you know how many vertices I have to worry about?? Two! Up and down! That's a lot!" "Yeah, that's one..." This killed me

Boy spotting at 2:05

[@brody2k]

Roy spotting at 22:08

[@evanafter]

This is very useful thank you

[@fnord3125]

i love the new nicknames we're getting for Justin from this series: The Hog, Pumper, Pump

[@Sage_the_Turt]

The Hog Pumper...

[@JesterIMC]

This series has me in tears with every episode. It has everything... intrigue..suspense...conflict..comedy..triumph and failure. Albsolute homerun of a series/concept.

[@scottavenged7x]

Mario facing the camera directly on pause disturbing Griffin got me.

[@noahdoss1967]

Nothing will ever be as funny as Griffin’s face when jumping on the big dinosaur turned it into a little one 32:40

[@BookofLetters]

so funny that The Hard Times today was like "Gamer saying he plays better stoned has nothing to compare it to"

[@h00pla434]

Stream starts @ 2:05

[@Surfdog2005]

thank you :)

[@Kyrbi0]

+

[@drkashik]

I honestly can't tell if it's a gag that Justin thinks audiences will be bored by watching people struggle to do something extremely hard and then eventually succeed as if the brothers aren't basically just the Mighty Ducks but playing Super Mario World.

[@plzexplainthankyou]

MY BROTHER GRIFFIN MCELROY JOINED D.A.R.E. AND TEAMED UP WITH NANCY REAGAN TO KEEP ME OFF DRUGS! - Justin Tyler McElroy, 11:55

[@bevanmccrory289]

Justin "Mama Murphy" McElroy

[@guij666]

Justin "Sober" McElroy

[@LavaHotMan]

Hey Travis, thanks for teaching America to laugh again.

[@knittingnudibranch]

Griffin's little gasp after jumping on the dinosaur thing at 32:43 combined with Justin's grimace just gets me for some reason

[@infinitenoodledoodle]

travis is unfazed by violence

[@derricklight993]

I wwonder how stoked Trav's gonna be when he realizes that his math was wrong and there's only one world left.

[@Captainslow606]

I really feared for you guys when I saw how long this video was

[@suckstobethouswain]

griffin hating on the name roy like it isn't 3/7s of his surname

[@forrestwatley6678]

Wow look at this guy, doing math and stuff, what's next the quadratic equation?

[@bluelilacfawn]

​@@forrestwatley6678I mean, theyre just counting. Not sure what part of that warrants a snide remark.

[@TaylorHappel]

@@bluelilacfawnI think you’re reading aggression that isn’t there, friend.

[@JasonLihani]

A perfect 5/7 if you ask me.

[@suckstobethouswain]

fully had to count out the letters in his surname on my fingers to make the joke, i ain't quadrating nothing@@forrestwatley6678

[@tiomateo625]

This is honestly my favorite recent KZbin content. The "highs" the lows, the suffering and the triumphs. So good! Yahoo Answers needed to die for this!

[@juliannemarieb]

I made the mistake of falling asleep to this and boy that end music is sonically challenging huh?

[@jeremyconnor8625]

Can’t believe they got it on the last try

[@MsDianagentaToYou]

Also....if it were possible to sign up for Stitch Fix and just say "Send me the shirts Justin McElroy wears" I'd so do it. Boy's ON it.

[@andrewdant2780]

This series has a certain kind of funny that you can only get after a full hour of watching adults struggle.

[@Levacque]

Very accurate lol, it took me a while to stop being anxious and start enjoying their frustration

[@specialagentdavecooper9605]

Justin needs his mind cloudy to beat the Russian Chess Grand Master it's a Queen's Gambit situation

[@Jonathan-qo8dl]

I've been looking forward to these more than anything for the last month or so

[@infinitenoodledoodle]

truly. this & the, now completed, trial by fieri give me something to look forward to each week.

[@aribucks4189]

28:50 for “I’m the Coin Burglar. Who’s just a burglar, but needs it.”

[@plzexplainthankyou]

i love the extremely clear progression of peak high j-man to the impatient grouchy shifty-eyed post-high comedown to completely disassociated munchies for grocery store baked goods 🍄

[@cutechelsea0]

How are there no comments about “Sir, this is a Wendy’s Castle” on the final screen 😆😆😆 top tier jokes, give him a raise!!

[@BassLiberators]

I love that this is one of the most famous games of all time but apparently no one has ever gotten far enough to see the weird shrinking dinosaurs lol

[@guij666]

Travis: we don't have to jump for this [block], it comes right over Griffin: jumpjumpjumpjumpjumpjump

[@christopherthomas250]

It is a little confusing that fire flowers are even included in this game considering 90% of enemies are totally immune to them. Sometimes handy in a water level, but otherwise why even pretend it’s a power up at all? Fireballs evaporate harmlessly against everything in this game.

[@XxKillockxX]

Everytime this series drops in my sub box, it feels like Christmas.

[@Matkingos]

45:30 I love that Travis is about to fucking loose it to the silly little cloud-fire-fishing man

[@Levacque]

What does he yell? Is it "Cowardice!"?

[@AvisSapiens]

Griffin exudes a vitriol towards Justin in these streams that he normally only reserves for Travis in his worst MBMBAM bits.

[@aribucks4189]

the drift. it’s about the drift. justin and griffin drift perfectly in the pod when justin is sober (!!) but when he’s the hog he’s suddenly the one tugging their trio in entropic ways instead of travis, who is desperately invested in Playing The GD Game

[@ChristopherMisterFur]

the three of them just keep expecting the other 2 to do exactly what they expect them to do, instead of thinking like one another. by episode XXV they're going to be flawless

[@PersonMan000]

The "I haven't yelled once" gave me trauma flashbacks to my mom

[@MisterSynyster]

In the original, the Yoshi Coins give you 1 life if you find all 5 in any given level. In Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World, if you find them all, Peach somehow destroys the Yoshi Coin economy by printing her face on them, which I'm pretty means that Princess Toadstool may have annexed Dinosaur Land

[@NoWhereToRun22]

Oh my God. Mario is a foreign mercenary hired to steal the artifacts/idols of a non-human, sapient species. Mario also gets to look like the good guy because he can conceal his acts under the guise of fighting alongside the Yoshis against the Koopa army (who may view Dinosaur Land as a vassal state of the Koopa Kingdom). After all the artifacts are stolen (which rewards Mario each time a set are stolen), the adventure ends. Princess Toadstool releases Mario of his contract and refunds the Denizens of Dinosaur Land with artifacts made to replicate the old ones, but with the likeness of the Princess instead of proper recreations. Mario then gets to steal the Mushroom Kingdom artifacts. He sells them at a black market auction. The buyer? A holding company belonging to the Crown of the Mushroom Kingdom. But hey, that's just a hypothesis. A gaaaame hypothesis

[@aranmurphy1]

Every episode of the mcelbros is simultaneously entertaining and infuriating, but this threeboysonecontroller takes it to a new level...

[@liquidfoxx92]

I love this chapter of Justin 😂

[@NoWhereToRun22]

He's getting in touch with his youthful side

[@Levacque]

The closing music is both perfectly appropriate to the whimsical insanity but completely counter to the vitriolic anxiety that both run through these streams like the marbling of a Wagyu steak.

[@misterkingdom3571]

“We went up to God’s kingdom to challenge him. He flicked us like a paper football.”

[@DeeDee-ye5qe]

recontextualizing "don't you guys think it's fucked up that hulk hogan still lives?" and pissing myself

[@SaltedSnacks]

I sure hope they can kill dr eggman this time!

[@NoWhereToRun22]

ooooh, so that's why they're collecting all those eggs from the castles

[@MaddDrEw]

griffin just constantly hitting the cape block over and over was... um.. chaos. they could've gone back to get a third cape if they didn't hit that block.

[@KyleZager]

Honestly, I've been waiting for them to play this level. So many hotdogs

[@ChristopherMisterFur]

Justin's face at 1:00:46 when he almost yells at griffin before realizing he was in the wrong lmao

[@joehickey7791]

The last hour of this episode is some of the best content I have seen recently. Well done 👍

[@raisedbywolves72]

You should include Clint as well! ... And then give him controls that don't actually do anything but are hard to verify, like you would with a little brother. "Dad, you're controlling Speed, okay?" He can only test his control of speed when Justin is actually moving, and with Griffin asking for speed verbally like he usually does, Travis will most likely be hitting the speed button when Clint is trying to anyway :'D Sorry, just had to share my silly idea!

[@Sage_the_Turt]

time to end the stream, i'm spent. it's been an hour. ah, let's just do one more. (another hour left in the vod)

[@peterbyrne5004]

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, hogs gotta eat.

[@mackmpls]

11:53 I fucking love this man.

[@DelatoDarion]

When fighting Roy, you can jump over his ground stomp so you can avoid being stunned. For future knowledge~

[@MisterSynyster]

So the key to Super Mario World and especially the Forest of Illusion is if the level is RED on the MAP, it means there's multiple exits / paths opened in that level. This is salient because all of the levels in the Forest of Illusion are like this on purpose. I still wonder if they'll manage to even accidentally find the Blue Switch Palazzo

[@MisterSynyster]

The second path in FOI 1 takes you to Ghost House, FOI2 takes you to the Blue Switch Palace, Ghost House takes you to 4 and 4 goes to the Forest Fortress

[@noahdoss1967]

I straight up haven’t played this game in 20 years and I totally remember how to get out of the forest of illusion

[@jackiroman9315]

this is quality content

[@brody2k]

Justin creating a Servitor with The Hog I guess One hell of a Tulpa

[@ZacharyCusanelli]

The whole team needs to be partaking. Would also love to see Clint taking bong hits.

[@Rluksza1]

You three and Papa Clint Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough when???

[@weneedaladder8384]

I would also gladly accept a Divinity: Original Sin 2 playthrough instead.

[@ibroughtyoudrawings]

Oh my god, this must be made a reality

[@m6isme]

"Alright it looks like we're making some choices today, left/right" WOOOW

[@IrisCorven]

"I'M NOT GOING BACK TO VANILLA BRIDGE, YOU CAN'T MAKE ME."

[@XxKillockxX]

And I just now finished it. Hot damn you guys are amazing. Next time we need all three of you guys on the green! THE THREE HOGS

[@DGlesterHadunkichud]

The way Griffin turns towards me at 26:15 makes me feel like I've been the hog this whole time and I'm playing via a coma in which Griffin is trying to reach me. I honestly felt like I was about to meet Ralof on my way to Helgen.

[@misterkingdom3571]

This really cheered me up. Thanks so much, boys!!!

[@jrmcbabyface]

I am absolutely dying watching you guys do these. I love seeing the controls split three ways. I fell off my couch laughing when Travis said "bye Griffin" best episode yet

[@Michael-zj5gp]

Pumpers face during the entire last boss fight is so fuckin funny. Boys finally entered the drift in that last 10 minutes.

[@loopylosers]

I see Travis’s fall out boy shirt ❤😁 I saw them live this tour and it was so fantastic

[@kairirose2575]

*Me watching Griffin say they are only going to play for 8 mins* *An hour later* All three brothers: Last try.

[@nullskey8370]

i always like when they start singing together, warms my heart lol

[@stevanchez1122]

Anybody else feel bad for them when you realised they reached the castle with nearly an hour left in the video?(1:18:30)

[@NoWhereToRun22]

Nah, I was hopefully optimistic they were going to really get into a groove and have a second wind of sorts, which would enable them to blast thru world seven and stop right before Bowser's castle

[@dogwild]

they tried about half a dozen pipes before finding the one that worked 🌳

[@MrMan_01]

The last 20in of this stream is giving me Game Grumps Mario Maker vibes 😂

[@robertholt3996]

"YOU MUST GO RIGHT!"

[@Wolfesbrain]

I'm looking forward to the supercut video of all The Hog lore clips! XD

[@noahdoss1967]

This content has secured Justin as my personal favourite

[@thartwig]

I never knew watching people fail over and over could be so exhausting.

[@moonbasket]

congrats boys! Well done on this one.

[@raisedbywolves72]

Can't wait for the next one!

[@suburbanindie]

Good to see they finally added “pizzazz” but we need more razz matazz

[@adammihal1039]

I would 100% buy truffle hog merch

[@eldritchzora]

I love Travis' glasses!

[@SierraKyliuk]

There are some funny GEMS in the live chat replay good work everyone

[@krisb574]

Will buy truffle hog merch the second it drops.

[@JemaKnight]

11 episodes and we finally address that Justin has been absolutely fucking gone for the whole series up to this point (aside from that one time he had to pick up his daughter)

[@mackmpls]

1:29:35 Real ones knew what was up the first time Juice.

[@phlag]

Travis keeps the boat from rocking too much. If he got as combative as Justin and Griffin sometimes do, then the series, the podcast, and the family itself would be OVER

[@marissa5759]

25:21 things that make you go “hmm”

[@sl3074]

Yessss new jumpmen!!!

[@clover1034]

Justin's hat is superb

[@Trick.Sparrow]

Justin "Hog Pumper" McElroy

[@lillyannawebster8616]

watching these videos later when chat replay is not available is wild when they talk to chat. anyway sorry karrina (sp?) about crapping your pants

[@colonelstunts4885]

lol on my computer I could see the replay even month later and this played just as i read your comment, so I felt obligated to report. the state of karrinas drawers is in fact unknown - their spouse requested a shout-out and said "she'll probably crap her pants [if the boys say hbd]!" 💩

[@Captainslow606]

31:08 Buttman69 speedrun Pro strat entered the chat

[@OhGodWhatIsThisAah]

that was unreal considering the stipulations of their quest

[@dheisey1014]

Watched live and had to mute in meetings in the middle. Watched the recording. And tbh it was electric at the end live in a way that the recording can’t capture.

[@ohowjuicy]

I'm so glad I took an edible just before starting this ep

[@left4twenty]

touch the Buzz, touch the Buzz!

[@fioblah]

i’m getting flashbacks to hollow knight path of pain

[@Paradockzz]

Insane to me that they complain so much about how long they've been going after about 60 minutes.

[@mooglemeister5070]

THAT'S ALL IT NEEDS

[@weneedaladder8384]

I haven't played much of Super Mario World, but like, you don't get frozen if you're not on the ground when the turtle lands, yeah?

[@ZombodyDead]

You right.

[@twirlycrayon5829]

peep the sick FOB t-shirt on Travis, my bestie and I got the same one when we saw them in Clarkston!
