Vinesauce Animated: The Prank Phone Call

[@ghhn4505]

Holy Hell Kermit is so well animated Like everything is but Kermit specifically is super expressively animated

[@xXdarkdekuXx]

Alot of creative freedom when drawing little creatures, humans are ugly and harder to make look so satisfying.

[@ghhn4505]

​@@xXdarkdekuXx 1) fuck you I'm a cute human 2) I think it depends more on the style really

[@MariotheAnimator]

The biggest challenge for Kermit is that he doesn't have teeth, so I had to be extra mindful of his mouth movements. For example, the "B" and "F" letters are similar because that's how you're hand would puppet those letters. The vowels are also subtly different to, but it makes a difference.

[@aaronbalchand5475]

Kermit the stressed father

[@superstarthomas]

That Kermit part had me dying.

[@Toastercommander]

I love that he's using a Mario Paint Mouse

[@zylowolf7919]

Did you catch the Bob Ross music?

[@Sarwex117]

SNES* mouse

[@bakufan0658]

There's a modern version of the mouse made by hyperken and it works on both snes and computers

[@michaelboydston313]

Yes

[@04Thedede]

Someone send this to joel

[@MariotheAnimator]

I tweeted it to him, I hope he watches it live like Vinny did

[@SamDeMonic]

@@MariotheAnimator hopefully he'll see it More often they'll see it in Vine buru

[@MariotheAnimator]

@@SamDeMonic I can't upload it there for some reason

[@SamDeMonic]

@@MariotheAnimator strange, hopefully he'll react to it

[@Mariorox1956]

Mario Ramirez How you wanna do that from what I've seen, is post a thumbnail to the Booru, linking to the vid. But I'm sure you knew that already.

[@Crocogator]

"Tell me about your daughter -- or maybe your sister" That's when the gloves came off. Jesus *Christ* what a creepy dude.

I think guy was just confused and was trying to ask about the kid he was talking about.

Is that a SNES mouse? No wonder Kermit the Frogmetal is having trouble.

[@ryfyyt171]

Indeed

[@noahcole4201]

Feel bad for his son

[@nonsensicalfox]

wow, your style of animation makes Kermet flailing around super cute, I love this

[@amberpants771]

“I need to go to Kokomo” I friggin loved him singing Kokomo

[@Yzerbruh]

Hot damn this is some expressive animation, it perfectly encapsulates Joel's rambling.

[@TENRAN432]

no idea what that is to the right of the monitor... "my son has been downloading..."

He’s back,back again. he’s back, tell a friend!

[@daniexists6]

I like how you just made Joel look like a caricature of Weird Al in a Scooby Doo movie.

[@JamesR624]

Glad I am not the only one that IMMEDIATELY thought "Weird Al" as soon as I saw this animation.

[@thedangboi7198]

I like to think this is the only prank call Joel has ever done

[@SamDeMonic]

Till he called the fotnite burger and billboards

[@chameleoncraft8488]

The people that disliked this video are PC Optimizer Pro Scammers

[@easuwraxwell5107]

Kermit asking for a hand job is something I'd never think I'd see

[@l_ukers]

Didn’t know you were a vinesauce fan, then again, who isn’t? Great animation!

[@retrokingranch]

How not? Did you never see his animation about Vinny's Mario Land playthrough? The one where Vinny does a Wario impression?

[@l_ukers]

Kaptain Sal oh shit, totally forgot about that one! Thanks for reminding me

[@MariotheAnimator]

RIP in piece Luggy, you never died because you are fictional.

[@VolkColopatrion]

the kiwifarms stuff shows why this wasn't shown on stream.

[@retrokingranch]

@@l_ukers Np bro :)

[@mildlymarvelous]

I love the Flintstones song calmly playing in the background. In all seriousness… what is that guy’s logic?! “If you know how to use a computer you don’t need to call, scam or not” like… that’s not the issue. You are actively preying on those people who DON’T know how to use computers.

[@StormDatIsApproaching]

The animation for Kermit is smoother than warm butter on hot toast

[@goonsquad8258]

This is so beautifully animated, I love you, sir. o7

[@MineCraftGod35]

Been so long bud! And you've improved so much!

[@turbosoggy6767]

"I you dont know shit about PCs it isnt a scam"

[@DakaAkula]

I DAMN LOVE THE WAY YOU DRAW JOEL. He looks so charismatic and so damn similar!

[@MariotheAnimator]

Is he still shaved head these days?

[@DakaAkula]

@@MariotheAnimator I can't know for sure, I hope not. Long hair suits him

[@ezch1llz583]

Absolute gold, he’d better watch this the next time he streams

[@liquidanimations3397]

I absolutely love how kermit is animated

[@eckitronix]

This was beautiful to watch, thank you so much for making this--and for such a long time, too; 2015?? I sometimes am aftaid to become an animator for reasons like that, but this is an example of why it's worth it!

[@MariotheAnimator]

To be fair, I got up to half of Kermit dialogue in 2015, then scrapped it cuz it wasn't looking right. I restarted it all in all in 2018. With a multitude of life nonsense getting in the way for months, this October I was determined to get this done so I can move on to other projects.

[@crazako]

why does Kermit standing still look so damn familiar

[@LuloMustard]

This is absolutely amazing! You deserve waaay more views, I can't believe you've been working on this since 2015, the dedication is admirable

[@yakzays7673]

You should do one of talk to transformer Anyway this is great

[@sandblocks7637]

This needs more attention, this is amazing and this is even funnier than the orginal video

[@cpt.keaton]

It's good to see you pumping something out again. I love your animations.

[@bumix8050]

This is INCREDIBLY well animated, it deserves waaay more views

[@duscarasheddinn8033]

This is amazing animation!

[@catthatlooksatyoufunny7377]

I never expected Joel to scream "cis scum" with such an offended tone on his voice it's beautiful

[@RingALol]

This is amazing, insane that you originally started way back in 2015. Everything is so expressive and the little movements are so subtle, I love it

[@junk89722]

joel looks like shaggy in this

[@dryve4427]

This is really good, I hope you upload more!

[@Lishadra]

I love this, could you do Oney plays, or some pod casts. This style is great for that.

[@MariotheAnimator]

Most likely my next animation will be Pokemon related to hype up Sword n Shield... but again, if there's no Gigantamax Golurk, that'd be Game Freaks 2nd stupidest decision of all time. 1st of course being never releasing another Pokemon Snap because WE ALL FUCKIN WANT IT BUT THEY DONT LIKE MONEY

[@xXdarkdekuXx]

@@MariotheAnimator Nice, looking forward to it! Agreed on Pokemon snap, I was just playing last night thinking about that. How fun it would be on switch.

How many hours did you spend getting the hand movements right to looks natural as a puppet? Holy shit it's perfect

[@MariotheAnimator]

You mean Kermit's arms? Or Joel's "arm" being Kermit's mouth? Either way, the this whole thing took VERY long, the stream came out in 2015 and I started on it the second I heard the it in the first place. It was uploaded 2019... so yes VERY long.
