Almost 5 minutes of a MBMBAM animation?! This animation is a full course meal at a fancy restaurant. Im imagining all the viewers of this video at a dinner table, we are chowing down like beasts. Om nom noming. We are eating well tonight and this animation is surely delicious. We will all be rating this restaurant 5 out of 5 stars, with many compliments to the chef
It had to be said: Julia styles never talks to Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the entire runtime of 10 things I hate about you because they are not each other's love interests in that movie edit: the choreogrophy from Save the Last Dance was a nice touch
literally 5 seconds before he said JG-L he said heath ledger and then was cut off by griffin 😭 idk what my guy was on about because he got it right the first time
The fact that Justin’s audition outfit is so believable by itself as something a theatre nerd would wear and then with an unbuttoning and the adding of an apron he’s literally Tevye is amazing. I also can’t imagine how long that dance took to animate it looks so good.
Beetlejustin is perfect and also I adore how you've animated all three of the boys. Also any bit that involves Griff walking away from the mic is comedy gold.
@startush On Wednesdays we sing start spreading the news to each other then jump to "imma need a tight two, your twos are too loose!" because when we were becoming friends we watched your video!
I'm lost for words, you're too talented, the amount of creativity you need to come up with all the visuals that elevate this bit tenfold is just outstanding. Love the designs for the boys, they convey their looks and personality perfectly and the outfits and sets are just wow, loved how their journalist clothes reminded me of the margaritaville episode. And the animation! The transitions and sets and scenes you came up with make the bit so much funnier, it was truly a pleasure to watch, thank you!
this is absolutely glorious! It's so hard to pick favourites but that part at the beginning in times square is just *chef's kiss * - the way you have the box in the corner for Travis and Griffin and then switch to them on the ground? The way Justin morphs from Spiderman to Phantom to Beetlejuice? I love your mind! But then every aspect of Griffin as a director of a play feels incredibly spot on. And the reaction shots on Travis? The little animations around his head? The way his hands move? And my god that ceiling at the end. I kind of want to go frame by frame but I can't, so I'll just end with praising Justin in front of the curtain with a spotlight on him because YES
oh my god this is amazing. the amount of details! justin in the singin' in the rain outfit(s), the way griffin moves like an action/mystery anime character, the dynamic poses and angles and incorporation of backgrounds! I am blown away
Surprise Gypsy reference! Surprise Beetlejuice reference! Always delightful how tightly the "musical-theater nerd" circle and "McElroy nerd" circle overlap on that particular Venn diagram.
my favorite parts: - the way justin hits that first pose with the hat at 0:10 - the 'fantasy costco' in the neon lights at 0:14 - the reflection of the greenscreen on griffin and travis at 0:32 - SPIDERMAN TURN OFF THE DARK REFERENCE - griffin getting got by his own megaphone at 1:09 - the whole. silent movie section. (also justin's incredulous expression in the beat right after!) - travis putting the caution sign on the roof amazing. showstopping. never been done before. i loved it. (Also, thank you for having captions!)
This is incredible: you’ve added so much context to every one of their jokes, adding physical comedy and visual callbacks. Very impressive: obviously lots of thought went into each part and you’ve transformed it in ways impossible in the original medium. The dance! The silent film section! The expressions! The character design and illustrative style (I love the way the character’s hands feels unique to each of the characters). Worth the amount of time you put into it, I’m very entertained, impressed, and inspired :)
Brava, the dance animation and the cape animation are beautiful. I appreciated the choreography from Save the Last Dance. You worked extremely hard on it and it shows.
Hey UM I’m SORRY but is Justin’s outfit the same as Gene Kelly’s in the Gotta Dance sequence in Singin’ in the Rain???? Because that is just *chef’s kiss*
THIS WAS AMAZING???? I'm so so so impressed with the quality of your animation, especially the dancing at the end. 10 things i love about this video: everything.
Oh my god, this is GLORIOUS. And I am absolutely losing my shit at the incredible dance sequence at the end since of course it's from the seminal Save the Last Dance, starring Julia Stiles of the four broken limbs whomst I nursed back to health from my own breast. ICONIQUE.
god this is incredible!!! i’ve been hoping for a finished version of this ever since you included it in that compilation of unfinished animatics :’-) the sequence of director griffin blasting himself in the ear with the megaphone has truly lived in my mind rent-free since then. this is such a delight to watch-i love the way you take their bits and make them into whole scenes with settings and lots of movement, everything just feels so alive!! the julia stiles bit and justin’s dance killed me. love all the tinier more background gestures too-seeing griffin through the door of the audition room sending people away, travis getting him & griffin popcorn, griffin checking his nails while travis is talking, etc. just chock full of incredible stuff; the amount of detail you put into these is amazing. fantastic work as always!!!!
oh my gosh, this made me realize how many of my favorite animations you’re responsible for!! you have a great sense of both the boys comedy but also your own amazing personal style. i love this vid sm
Absolutely gd incredible. That Justin "shakin it" sequence at 3:57 ?? Replayed 3x. Frickin gorgeous stuff, homie. All the sound editing and animation just blows me the heck away 😗🤌✨
this whole animation is wonderful! theres so many great little details. idk why but i especially love griffins walk when theyre going into the theater. idk its just so character. this whole video is a joy to watch and rewatch!
had the privilege of watching you animate this live a couple of months ago and I'm so glad to see it posted! Phenomenal work as always. You make so many creative choices and your own little jokes thrown in to elevate the original audio that blow my mind every time!
yooo!! This is a whole damn animation! Stellar through and through, your animations really kick ass when it comes to adding new moments of humor to an already funny sequence!!

Couldn't have said it better myself
And all the little details too! It's truly phenomenal, really adds to the original bit!
It had to be said: Julia styles never talks to Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the entire runtime of 10 things I hate about you because they are not each other's love interests in that movie
edit: the choreogrophy from Save the Last Dance was a nice touch
literally 5 seconds before he said JG-L he said heath ledger and then was cut off by griffin 😭 idk what my guy was on about because he got it right the first time
His pants! Griffin's pants!
Justin breaking at "breastfed him too!"
Griffin carrying Justin up to the stage!
Griffin hurting his own ears with the megaphone!
The fact that Justin’s audition outfit is so believable by itself as something a theatre nerd would wear and then with an unbuttoning and the adding of an apron he’s literally Tevye is amazing. I also can’t imagine how long that dance took to animate it looks so good.
QUICK CHANGE!
How did this tradition get started?
I'll tell you
I don't know
IDK why, but griffin saying "He was really, super high up there" absolutely broke me
"can you shake it."
".....uhhh ya" (busts it down)
Oh my god Tit Liquid was over 400 episodes ago...
But he will always be with us now in our hearts and tits.
Justin completely ignoring Griffin’s bit about raising Julia Stiles is impeccable
“They have done plumb fell right the fuck off that roof” Griffin is such a wordsmith
2:50 "let me tell you... ten things i loved about that" theatre people and doing wordplay off of a show's title is something i will never escape
YESSSS it's even better than i dreamed. to quote travis, i wanna tell you ten things i LOVED about that: everything
ayyy thanks 😎💕
Beetlejustin is perfect and also I adore how you've animated all three of the boys.
Also any bit that involves Griff walking away from the mic is comedy gold.
someone commented on my halloween video that Justin should’ve been BeetleJUICE and it never left my brain
This is truly so excellent all the way around but God Griffin's animation is so sassy and very good
2 YEARS OF WORK FOR THIS???!!! adding to every video queue i make for the next 5 years
NO WAY, MY FRIEND AND I REFERENCE THIS BIT ONCE A WEEK BECAUSE OF YOUR ORIGINAL ANIMIMATION!!!
oh hell yeah i would love to know which reference
@startush On Wednesdays we sing start spreading the news to each other then jump to "imma need a tight two, your twos are too loose!" because when we were becoming friends we watched your video!
that’s darling, thanks for sharing 😆 keep it tight 🤙📲

eeee thank you 🙆♀️❤️
Justin dancing to the song from Save the Last Dance was just *chef's kiss*
Griffin walking Justin in the dark and pushing him out on to the stage is such an inspired choice. This is a masterpiece tbh
this is absolutely glorious!

I kind of want to go frame by frame but I can't, so I'll just end with praising Justin in front of the curtain with a spotlight on him because YES
thanks for the lovely comment! 💕 i was obsessed with including that ceiling, it’s from the Coolidge Corner Theater in Boston
oh my god this is amazing. the amount of details! justin in the singin' in the rain outfit(s), the way griffin moves like an action/mystery anime character, the dynamic poses and angles and incorporation of backgrounds! I am blown away
The Julia Stiles Save the Last Dance reference was too good
you’ve only got two notes so
blow
me
…

Surprise Gypsy reference! Surprise Beetlejuice reference!
Always delightful how tightly the "musical-theater nerd" circle and "McElroy nerd" circle overlap on that particular Venn diagram.
this is the TIGHTEST mbmbam animation ive EVER seen and it's so LONG!!! holy shit!!! the way Griffin walks is so cunty it's wonderful
😂😂😂AAAAH I'M DYING WITH JUSTIN'S EXPRESSIONS THIS IS TOO GOOD
Truly started hyperventilating at the save the last dance jump , I’m speechless , well done
YOU'RE BACK WITH ANOTHER BALLER ANIMATION!!🎉
as someone who loves the original wip ver, this is so good !! griffin asking travis to get popcorn for the audition was perfection
The beginning clip of griffin hurriedly fixing the green screen and getting Justin was so good
10 things I loved about this: everything!
smooch chakku
straight up this is an odyssey of an animation, what a journey
my favorite parts:
- the way justin hits that first pose with the hat at 0:10
- the 'fantasy costco' in the neon lights at 0:14
- the reflection of the greenscreen on griffin and travis at 0:32
- SPIDERMAN TURN OFF THE DARK REFERENCE
- griffin getting got by his own megaphone at 1:09
- the whole. silent movie section. (also justin's incredulous expression in the beat right after!)
- travis putting the caution sign on the roof
amazing. showstopping. never been done before. i loved it. (Also, thank you for having captions!)
Gene Kelly 's gotta dance Broadway fever dream sequence costume! Nice!
dream ballets are IN, BABY!!! thank you greta gerwig!
This is incredible: you’ve added so much context to every one of their jokes, adding physical comedy and visual callbacks. Very impressive: obviously lots of thought went into each part and you’ve transformed it in ways impossible in the original medium. The dance! The silent film section! The expressions!

Gorgeous limb action throughout
this IMMEDIATELY became my favorite mbmbam animation
Your animation is incredible! So smooth, so much character! Spectacular work!
this animation is so fun, you put so much love into this !
you are THEE premier animator of my heart
Every ounce of characterization in their movements is brilliant. Definitely subscribing
0:31 was this before the boys had the fear of Al Roker in their hearts? That's a lotta microphones
cinematic fucking masterpiece, an academy award is in order i will be speaking with my higher-ups
NOT THE SAVE THE LAST DANCE DANCE LMAO
This video is so choice
I just noticed the green screen glow around the boys at 0:30. Jesus, I hope they find this thing. It's too good.
Brava, the dance animation and the cape animation are beautiful. I appreciated the choreography from Save the Last Dance. You worked extremely hard on it and it shows.
thank you so much!
oh my god!!!!!! this is incredible!!!!!!! startush really does not miss ever!!!!!!
YESSSSSS!!!! been so excited since I saw the livestream!!

thank you for joining the stream! it really boosts morale when i’m in the trenches lol
MY FAVOURITE BIT OF ALL TIME & NOW IT'S ANIMATED THANK YOU STARTUSH
anytime! (fine print: every 8~14 months)
It's a good good day when a new startush comes out
Hey UM I’m SORRY but is Justin’s outfit the same as Gene Kelly’s in the Gotta Dance sequence in Singin’ in the Rain???? Because that is just *chef’s kiss*
XD you got it!
Is he doing the final dance by Julia Stiles in Save the Last Dance!?!?! The layers!!
0:35 the spiderman/spiderverse and all the Broadway references is amazing
Spider-Justin in the background transforming into Phantom Justin and BeetleJustin was top tier.
When justin started to shake it I was in awe.. absolutely fantastic
thank you for this, i will watch it a dozen times
This looks so good, I love your animation style! Griffin having the margaritaville mics is a nice touch : )
i’m glad that reads! i wanted to do that bit years ago but couldn’t make it work so it gets a cameo here 😆
I love how you make these bits into complete little movies, you bring them to life so perfectly!
THIS WAS AMAZING???? I'm so so so impressed with the quality of your animation, especially the dancing at the end. 10 things i love about this video: everything.
i'm soooo obsessed with the way you've chosen to design Griffin. His energy is....riveting. this better not awaken anything in me....
Oh my god, this is GLORIOUS. And I am absolutely losing my shit at the incredible dance sequence at the end since of course it's from the seminal Save the Last Dance, starring Julia Stiles of the four broken limbs whomst I nursed back to health from my own breast. ICONIQUE.
being reminded of that movie when it was getting memed really saved my life, i had no idea what to put it in that section beforehand 💃❤️
god this is incredible!!! i’ve been hoping for a finished version of this ever since you included it in that compilation of unfinished animatics :’-) the sequence of director griffin blasting himself in the ear with the megaphone has truly lived in my mind rent-free since then. this is such a delight to watch-i love the way you take their bits and make them into whole scenes with settings and lots of movement, everything just feels so alive!! the julia stiles bit and justin’s dance killed me. love all the tinier more background gestures too-seeing griffin through the door of the audition room sending people away, travis getting him & griffin popcorn, griffin checking his nails while travis is talking, etc. just chock full of incredible stuff; the amount of detail you put into these is amazing. fantastic work as always!!!!
Insanely good animation!
The costume changes and stylistic choices in this are FANTASTIC, this is so fun
You are not only my favorite McElroy animator, I think you’re just my favorite animator in general at this point
oh boy that’s a lot of responsibility 🫣😳
@@startush 🤣 I’m just a random person, no responsibility whatsoever
I’m mad at youtube for taking two whole weeks to recommend this work of art to me
BLESSED DAY!!! also justin doing the julia stiles dance made me howl 😂😭
the dancing and the chair spinning incredible! Loved it thanks
FANTASTIC
Every second of this is incredible!
this is incredible, it's so so so well animated, and the style perfectly fits with the mcelroys' insanity as well
Love this era of mbmbam great to see animations from it
absolutely spectacular!
Well done. it’s amazing. You built great scenes for these voices to fill
A MBMBAM animatic? What a delight!
Can confirm; this is exactly what it’s like to be a professional actor
I had no idea you have a patreon! Subscribing immediately
oh my gosh, this made me realize how many of my favorite animations you’re responsible for!! you have a great sense of both the boys comedy but also your own amazing personal style. i love this vid sm

He do can shake it tho
this is phenomenal!! you took super funny content and elevated it to a whole new level!
I’ve been watching MBMBAM animations for almost eight years now, and I think that this is the most impressive I’ve ever seen 🫡
You are by far the best animator that I’ve seen for these MBMBaM segments
YESSSS!!! I was waiting for this one for so long
Beautiful, immaculate, incredible
really made griffin into a walking terror on this one. a+
yooo!! This is a whole damn animation! Stellar through and through, your animations really kick ass when it comes to adding new moments of humor to an already funny sequence!!
