"You don't sound Russian? How could I sound anything silly? I'm plastic"
#Clowncore #TikTok #Meme - บันเทิง
"are you going to kill me?" "nOOOoo! .... I mean yes-"
But not for a good while yet
Michael Morgan I don’t want to go to waste
@@dontcallmebynamethatsexclu2076 the.........then why are you here?
after you attacked poor Sarah
한결 I thought it was about time, we had a good old chat
"Wait you killed him?"
"Yep! He got really boring and I'm a monster! :D"
Top 10 best explanations of all time
E
Yes
Icon tbh
Points for honesty
Ah yes the “Magnificent Bastard” the trope for someone who is just that an absolute bastard for no other reason then because they are a little shit.
Every time I hear Nikola say "don't turn on the light" it cracks me up because she sounds so sincere about not wanting to horrify Jon too much
It seems to me like that's what she wants Jon to think, but the Stranger represents the fear of the unknown, which means it may be in her best interest to keep an avatar of the Eye from seeing her.
@@nyxiiine5509I do think it would look really silly. Because like, yeah it’s terrifying that it’s a mannequin that can move and talk and stuff, but most mannequins look like you could knock them apart with a baseball bat, which is much less intimidating
@@julesking1303isn't the implication that she's holding a severed human throat?
My name is Nikola
The fact that there was a Tiktok trend that got people to dress up as clowns and mouth Nikola’s voice sounds like a Stranger ritual.
Are we certain it isn't??
Maybe it is
fucking whut? Guess I'm going to need to get the dynamite and gas a la Gertrude
Or with all the subtlety, a web ritual dressed up one a stranger one
Kinda glad it happenned, I discovered the podcast thanks to that
*if you're here from tiktok here's some things to keep in mind:*
this is the middle of the 3rd season, this makes very little sense because you're meant to watch the episodes in order
this is a horror tragedy podcast
this is not a movie/show, it's a podcast, it will probably never be a movie/show, there are no visuals
the main character's name is jonathan sims
(edit 11/1/23: this comment seems to help people so i won't delete it or edit it further but obviously some of this isnt entirely certain! i wrote this three years ago before the podcast had even ended! generally im not really in to tma anymore but im glad more people could enjoy it :) its a nice podcast)
bonus round: just... just listen to the podcast it's really good and then when you get to this part for real it's even better than however cool you think it is now
@@voidmatic yeah!! i wrote this comment when i was very annoyed at all the "who's here from tiktok???" comments so i could have been a little bit nicer haha
@@tvbugss dude I 10000% get ya - the main comments that were kinda bugging me we're all the "this should be a movie" type ones - no, it's a podcast, and it slaps, not everything needs a film lol
@@voidmatic exactly! the way tma is set up anyways wouldn't actually work very well as a movie, since it's broken in to statements
skunkteeth and especially with the Sasha/not!sasha thing
will someone PLEASE stop monsters from hurting jonathan the poor guy doesn't have supernatural health insurance
Agreed.
I'd do it, but I rather value my life. Might consider it more seriously if this keeps up tho, Jon is my boi :(
Complain to Elias. He might consider some kind of Jon insurance
He doesn’t live in America at least... could you imagine?
Truce Truce :( Corona is hitting America pretty hard. Amplified by the fricken Karens who don’t want to wear masks.
John booting elias' office door open while he's in a budget meeting: "BITCH WHAT IS MY METAPHORICAL PIT"
What
@@m.faceless4896 Im not a what archivist, Im a who. A what requires a level of unidentity that I can never obtain
Came back to hear Nikola’s voice again and got a dermatologist ad on the side which reads “your skin needs solved: she’ll work hard to solve your skin needs.” Didn’t know the stranger was advertising these days
desperate times call for desperate measures
Right??? Every so often I'll get an ad on something that so obviously written by one of the fears, it's incredible
kinda like american gods
I once a ad for hamburger after a meat episode
Sometimes the ads go right with the video and crack me up or freak me out depending on what I’m listening to 🤣
Nikola Orsinov stole that voice box from Dolores Umbridge herself
And I said to myself: where have I heard this voice before..? Now I know
@@kyberserpent6397 I am Dolores JANE Umbridge blah blah blah high inquisitor Blah blah
no. sounds more like Amunet Black from the Flash
Yes
No, no. She took it from an angel. Just stroked it out of the angels throat.
Americans: Oh this isn't supernatural, this is just every city in the north west.
Yep, I'm from Olympia, there was a pit that kept coming back no matter how many times they filled it in. Just a daily nuisance, really.
@@AbstractQueer yes yes, keep saying this, you just might start believing it too))
@@PyramidXSlender Believing what?
@@PyramidXSlender what are you talking about? The same thing happens in cities and towns all over. I mean atleast in America.
@@AbstractQueer there is a giant pit next to the burger king in my town and no matter how many times they fill it, it just keeps growing
"Is he trying to warn me not to ignore my own metaphorical 'pit' because if so.... WHAT IS MY METAPHORICAL PIT" oh jon I love you
The pit is death. If you think about it to much then you will just get hurt. We all ignore the constant looming specter of our own finality
18:40
@@someoneawesome8717true but some people actually like the pit and able to tread through life with hints of death throughout their life. For example my name is Poppy which is the flower of death which is um... Ominous
I fell asleep listening to this and was woken up by the monster talking to jon. Thanks, i died instantly.
Tenticularr Jonathan Sims’s smooth, soothing voice is a trap.
omg just happened to me as well I was so confused and scared
istg me too
Oh no! XD that would be terrifying
You poor soul
Nikola: *starts talking *
Me: Wow she sounds familiar. Where have I heard her voice before?
Jon: Uh- you don't...sound Russian?
Me: wait-
Nikola: How could I sound anything silly? Im plastic! :D
Me: *tiktok flashbacks * IT WAS YOU!!!
LMAO 😂😂😂😂
NO WAY THIS IS WHAT THAT KILLER DOLL TREND IS FROM. I'm freaking out on how many magnus archives lines Ive heard from animatics of other fandoms.
I originally found this from TikTok but it has inspired me to listen to the whole podcast, so here I am, back again. This time with context
Welcome! Here there be horror, hillarity, and heartbreak 👁❤
Same! The videos with the sound bite from this are so good. Did you make one?
@@kristad5979 I'm not creative enough to make a good TikTok, nor am I confident enough.
I had to come back and I forgot about it and I’ve been reminded of the best days of my childhood
same!
Nikola: So yeah, I may have done a bit of murder- but I used all the bits! Recycling is important-
Is it bad that them wasting nothing gave them some respect for me?
"Is he warning me about my metaphorical pit? because if so: What is my metaphorical pit!?" Elias is such a bitch, I love him.
18:39 (accidentally replied this to the wrong comment and took weeks to realize)
"He got really boring, and I'm a monster! :D"
she's so cheery isn't she
Points for self awareness.
Fun fact IRL Bucoda has not only not been consumed by a pit, but they ALSO have a month long Halloween festival during October and call themselves “Boo-coda” for the holiday.
How do they have the Halloween festival inside the pit?
“A-are you going to kill me..?”
“Noooo!! ….. I mean yes! But not for a good long while yet! :)”
“You have until I change my mind” is honestly horrifying.
Who else is here from TikTok🤠
yessss
yUp
I mean I'm glad this podcast is being shared with more people but why the heck is this on TikTok
Violet - 111 it was for some weird POV 😂
Yup was so curious
every1 is ignoring jon mocking how Georgie doesn't wanna bother her landlord it was so cute n sarcastic but then my mans had to get attacked by yet another entity
Jon has just become the worlds’ nerd to bully
Okay but the anger when Jon said "Whats my metaphorical pit?!" Made me laugh really hard
"Nooooo! I mean _yes_ ,but not for a good old while!"
Yasss
@@2stroke_folk817 yeasssss
don't turn on the light!..
It went from saint to demon real quick
“i wouldn’t want you to go to waste”
if you're "here from tiktok" congrats, you found the magnus archives - an incredibly well-written horror podcast. Easy to find on yt, spotify, apple music, etc. this ep is well into the 3rd season. "oh it's not a movie???" "this should be a movie" no, shush, not everything needs to be a film or tv show, podcasts slap, maybe try them out.
sometimes the scariest things are those we cannot see, and this podcast loves to write with that energy.
if you came here from tiktok and ended up finding a podcast you love then welcome - it's in the final season currently, join the fun - hope you enjoy.
Any other podcasts similar? I'm blowing through these so fast
@@lukehicks6722 I'd recommend Lore, which is like the science and history behind horror stories and myths, and it's INCREDIBLY well written. Welcome to Nightvale is also a good one, it's about a very strange small desert town, narrated by the local radio host.
@@lukehicks6722 I can recommend Welcome to Night Vale on good authority, especially if you enjoyed this
I just did ✨
@@voidmatic omg yesss lore is soooo gooood
John has spent a shocking amount of time lately being strangled
What other episodes does it happen in? I’m pretty new to the podcast but uhhhh I’m really enjoying the whumpy aspect of it- 😅 so just curious!
@@notfamedtvpersonalitydrphil This is my first time listening so I can't say anything about later episodes, but Daisy also strangles him when she tries to kill him
20:14 I started this whole podcast bc of this audio. No regrets, it's been a blast!!
Thank you you kind soul
SAME
yeah same but hearing it in full context gives a completely different feeling, she genuinely terrifies me
SAME ITS THE BEST THING IVE EVER LISTENED TØ
SAME! ❤
Okay, can we all agree that Nicola Orsinov is the scariest monster yet... I haven’t listened much farther but that voice is bone chilling
i hear your nikola scariest monster and raise you: blanket monster
@@kajiyamas The ugg under the rug lol
"Well I tried putting a rug over it. Yeah, it fell in the hole."
Tommmm
Where is your girlfriend?
@@hz.kemalpasa2997 In the hole
@@deerymeimhere I tought she was on a vacation...in the hole.
@@hz.kemalpasa2997she’s at work.
Where does she work again?
…in the hole
You know. I hope I'm not the only one, but every time Jon is reading a statement I struggle to acknowledge it is still Jon reading the statement. It's still his voice, but my brain isnt making the connection. I just get so absorbed in the story that I cant acknowledge anything else that's unfolding. Talk about getting into character, holy shit this podcast is amazing!
STOP HURTING HIM OH MY GOD
I COMPLETELY AGREE
Wdym
He doesn't get hurt tho
@@dreadlordhg360 He gets strangled more than once-
I adore Jessica Law's performance of Nikola. Weaving the horror into the cheerful sounding voice - just excellent! Made the character instantly one to fear.
leave poor jon alone, he’s gotten hurt enough :((
Yeah!!! He just wants to learn, not his fault some wackjob is asking him to stop the end of the world after having appointed him to a position where he learned supernatural shit
After finding my current position, all I can say is that you're going to need a lot of emotional duct tape
wow. i love nikola, she's hilarious in a morbid way
Dylan Kaz he got REALLY boring and I’m a MONSTER what do you expect me to DO
No! I mean, yes, but not for a good long while!
I can recommend looking up the Mechanisms, a band that has Nikolas voice actor as a toy soldier. (And Jon Sims as Jonny D'ville)
Fair warning, they are immortal space pirates who love violence, and all their stories end with basically everyone dead.
Her voice is such a treasure to listen to.
Nikola is my name :DD
I would like to assure everyone that I live within spitting distance of Bucoda, and it is, in fact, still there. I've never actually driven into it, though....
Word of advice? Don't.
Lmao do it
If you never drove into it, how can you be sure it's still there?
I live an hour from it, I'm concerned for my health and safety
What's in it?
20:11
I'm so in love with her voice.
She sounds like my mother. Its funny because she's actually like this. Glad I dont live with her anymore
Cāctūs Bøi i-
Apparently, she took it from an angel.
She's a treasure to listen to. She sounds so sweet about it.
Ok, She Sounds More Like Garnet From Steven Universe-
“He got really boring and I’m a monster!”
5 year olds be like:
My theory from this episode and what we know so far:
Something tells me Gertrude did indeed destroy the gorilla skin and John will be looking for nothing 😅
So, Orsinov now is this Nikola, who is a mannequin. She's probably also that mannequin that killed in the store at closing time and tried to take the skin out of the person she killed, and, she's also probably even the Megan in that factory in the forest, using human skin. In the Anglerfish episode, one of the victims is called Megan, so the minions of the Stranger have the skin of a Megan for them to use.
WEll noticed, thanks!
She sounds like Emily from corpse bride
Yes she does!
Omg yes
I heard he voice on TikTok & thoughts that's who it was but like I missed that part from the movie. Lmao
i thought this😂!
“What do you want me to do..? Not pull him apart?? I- I did use all the bits...”
I was slightly puzzled yet excited about why there were suddenly so many views on this one but I thought that it was because there would be a cute moment between John and Martin or a huge lore drop or smth and then I realize that it was bc of a freaking tiktok sound and now I want to throw myself into the sea.
but despite this the convo between Nikola and John was very spoopy good job
oh..... nikola, i love you.......
If he's at Georgie's, then where is the Admiral during all of this?
He probably pulled a Major Tom and went "Nope, not dealing with this weird guy haunted by supernatural bs, I'm out".
didnt admiral hiss at nikola before she told jon to save his energy for the dance? i assume he just got there from another room
@@HyacinthoIgnis No, I'm pretty sure that was Nikola shushing him.
Asleep on the radiator probably
OK Nikola is right up there with “Michael” in the cool monster gang
Who would have thought that a random costplay tiktok would lead me to finding one of my favorite pieces of horror media and invest months of my life into it. Butterfly effect is real folks
OMFG same
don't know why but nikola scared me more than most of the other things so far 😳
For me it was when she said "I'm a *monster"* in the cheeriest possible way that I knew she'd creep me out. There's a certain unpredictability to her.
she and the blanket monster go hand in hand
Nikola's voice actor is outrageously good
when you come to the comment section to see if anyone agrees this statement feels more like Welcome to Night Vale than other statements, only to get spoiled that Jon meets Nikola because TikTok needed an audio from halfway through a podcast series to go viral.
thankfully i started listening to this when the trend died and i forgot about the audio. was a nice surprise that i heard of it from outside
i just experienced this exact thing
How bizarre. That’s the first and only episode that I’ve heard so far, and here you are, referencing the only other podcast that I could think of throughout the whole thing. I feel called out for no reason
Random idea, the old lady was Gertrude.
And the only other person in the entire series I can remember being described to have striking blue eyes was Michael but I don't think they'd cry so I dunno.
Washington is the home of weird stuff. We got citys under our cities, the rainiest place in america, dying logging towns, we all live and die for Boeing, we have more starbucks than sand, the home of grunge, and this only applies to the west of the mountains.
Cities under cities?
Cant tell if this is a joke, a shitpost comment, or completely serious
@@pianos4095 the citys sink and e build more on top
@@pianos4095 it's serious. East of the mountains is sand people and wiccans.
I'll die for a story on the Washington branch of the Magnus Archives.
I love Nikola already
Jon: Are you gonna kill me?
Nikola: Well, yes, but actually, no
The fact that I came from tiktok, found out what it from on Instagram, started all the way at episode one to find what I’d been looking for 96 episodes later. This is my first podcast I’ve listened to and I have absolutely no regrets
I came from the mechanisms and got here and realized I'd heard this audio before. Also my first podcast and no regrets at all.
Jessica absolutely kills it as Nickola, pun *fully* intended. Iconic.
The old lady was probably Gertrude, tbh
I think so too
Who was the blue eyed guy with her?
@@trucetruce335 probably Micheal
@@dannymern6425 No badly died hair was mentioned so it's probably not Gerry
Truce Truce Probably Jan Kilbride, the Daedalus crew member who was targeted by The Vast. She apparently killed him and threw his remains into the pit to counteract The Buried’s ritual
20 seconds after her introduction and I already love Nikola
Those poor people. I kinda had the feeling that Tommy really had a thing for Jackson which makes what happened to Bucoda so much sadder.
I've been brought here because of a short i found using this audio. And when I first heard the guys voice, "I swear I heard his voice somewhere... Oh wait, is this The Narrator from Slay the Princess!!" And lo and behold, He is!! This was quite a surprise honestly. This is the first time I hear his voice in other medias haha!
Don't turn on the light
Hearing Johnathon mispronounce Washington State place names is fun for me.
“hOw cOuLd I sOuNd aNytHiNg lOve iM PlAsTiC”
Me: **half asleep**
Lightbulb: **blows**
Me: 😨
Jon: **chill**
Me: 😰
pov: ur hiding in the comments for no reason even tho you can still hear it.
I looked at the description before listening and just... Sat for a few minutes preparing myself...
Everyone is talking about TiKtoK and here i came just for VA Jonathan because he sound so similar to narrator slay the princess cuz i love the game and voice acting!
"Well, my father called me Nikola and then I kiiiiiiilllled him."
"He got really boring, and I'm a monster!"
The fact that she says these so cheerily with such an unsettling tone is fantastic. I quite like her. Though I don't like that she decided to hurt and threaten our dear Archivist. That's no good.
Her voice is such a real treasure to listen to. I love it so much.
Ever since I started listening to this podcast youtube has been constantly recomending me this episode under every video.
I guess youtube didnt want me to Ignore The Pit.
Hands off Martin’s man like jfc
Nikola scared me as bad as Michael did when he first showed up. These monsters are all so creepy and I don't even know what they looks like. Amazing.
I really really didn't expect him to start talking about MY city
4:39 for anyone who has been backstage for something (dance performance, orchestra, etc) this is a VERY good descriptor. It's like.... uncanny valley but for a place.
My father called me nicolah....tHeN i KiLlEd HiM
Hearing Nikola's voice gave me the shivers, Jessica Law did a wonderful job!
CAN EVERYONE STOP HURTING JON!?! PLEASE!!!
Nikola cracks me up ngl
Found this on TIKTOK and just had to find out where it came from. Been obsessed with it ever since. Listened all the way through twice now and its easily the best podcast ever
Gertrude turned to Jan and said "Bottomless pit? Not after I throw you in."
The Pit
I was in the pit
You were in the pit
We all fell in the pit
i live in WA and the way he pronounces Chehalis incorrectly amuses me lol
SAME
Same 🤣
I didn't realize with was the episode that introduced me to the series until I heard "you don't sound.. Russian?"
I also still don't understand what is happening, I need Jon to just sit down and explain the entire plot because I'm lost-
21:06 WHAT WE ALL CAME FOR
Tyyy-
21:00 my first real introduction to the Magnus Archives and it's this audio lol
The ending scare the shit out of me
For whatever reason the imagery was so clear and it had me frozen for the first time in this series. Well done, damn
I originally found out about The Magnus Archives from TikTok, but now I’m on the 2nd season and I lowkey love it. It’s so well done and has an interesting story so far.
The Washington Creature reminds me of an ant lion.
im actually really surprised to find out TMA was popular on TikTok at some point, even if it was a single clip.. istg it always feels like one of those things only 10 people in my whole country know.
I was driving home on a long car trip alone at night and this came on and I swear to god I almost swerved off the road. I got chills like crazy and I had to pull over and turn on all the lights. Good sound design and voice acting!
21:06 A TIME STAMP FOR MYSELF
Getting to this video and seeing how the replay graph is entirely flatlined until the end is the most terrifying thing ever. I haven't gotten to the peak yet.
Update: WHAT
I've literally searched everywhere for this podcast
Hey, you found it! You can also listen on spotify or any designated podcast app (I use PocketCast) but I know when you're listening to your first ever podcast you don't want to get an app or anything.
nikola is somehow really funny to me?? i love her so much already
This 👏🏻 is 👏🏻 going 👏🏻 to 👏🏻 become 👏🏻 another 👏🏻 hyper 👏🏻 fixation 👏🏻
Join us...
I'm in deep since a few weeks now oh well
It already is to me…ONE OF US, ONE OF US!
ONE OF US, ONE OF US
It already is my hyperfixation
Oh wow, this feels nostalgic. Can't believe I finally made it back here. This was the episode that made me discover Magnus Archives because of well, that TikTok trend (though I saw it on TH-cam as a short). Didn't realize it was this one until I saw that I had already liked this video and the realization hit me that I came back to this (didn't listen to the whole thing the first time, just that part, then went to listen to the first episode lol). Gosh, I love this series / podcast, so grateful I encountered it.
I’ve finally gotten to the episode that made me listen to the Magnus archives!
Jessica Law absolutely killed it as orsenov omggg
Never thought I'd hear my town mentioned here of all places (Castle Rock, not Bucoda, though it's only an hour or so away).
Y aquí estoy, sin saber 100% inglés pero dándola toda para entender estos podcasts. Pd: ya aprendí que era pit :D
Okay, this is cool! I was born and raised in Washington, now live in Oregon and I drive past this on I5 all the time on my way to and from my old home. All of these stories have been so far away that I had to sort of imagine it more. However, I know my home state well this will be interesting!
I found this for a video idea and now I kinda wanna listen to the whole podcast.
jon: gasping because he is being hurt
me, having no business being the way i am: 👀
Jon: voice getting deep and raspy because he's muttering to himself about a terrible, confusing, alarming, gruesome or all of the above detail in a statement
me, also having no business being the way I am: 👀
we're all going to horny jail and i ain't regret nothing
MOOD- I love the whump in this podcast lmao
