[@bigmoneyben08]

I've noticed a popular theory in the comments of these videos that the science team are all taking turns speaking through the gnome. I thought this was pretty funny and starting to pay attention to which person was speaking when the gnome was saying something. This is what I've come up with: Benrey: When the gnome randomly starts insulting Wayne and denies everything he's ever said, continuing his constant gaslighting of Gordon in HLVRAI. Dr. Coomer: When the gnome is supportive of Wayne and is actually pleasant to him. I thought this because Dr. Coomer was the only one that was somewhat nice to Gordon in HLVRAI. Tommy: When the gnome says a random brand name or popular media. Like talking about the peppa pig movie, devil may cry, or randomly doing sponsor segments. He could also be behind the gnome's random periods of absolute joy, like when he got to play roblox or when he randomly says YAYAYAYAYAYAY! Bubby: When the gnome makes random noises and says random nonsense. Pretty self explanatory.

[@livingdel2799]

Inserting the Science Team into every Valve-related game makes it so much funnier. Thanks for breaking down the gnome's lines like this :)

[@rowancook4369]

honestly i feel like bubby was more actively hostile to gordon than benrey was, at least he was more explicit about it. i feel like benrey and bubby would take turns insulting him through the gnome and sometimes they try typing at the same time or start fighting, which makes the gnome make all the nonsense noises. or benrey is making the nonsense noises
