The first "Pew" I just thought was Griffin...
Napkep same lmfao
Neehow neeeeeeeeehow
i can't describe the emotion that arose in me when i saw those cabbages slowly drifting towards the penguin
he is the cabbage lord
"What dictates where these cabbages spawn?" *w/o hesitation* "God."
Lust
I can't describe the emotions I felt when I read that sentence.
I was reading these comments while waiting for the video to load, and I must say, this is a hell of a sentence to read without any context whatsoever.
seeing that awful bear disappear into the night sky like Team Rocket of old was truly a highlight of my video-watching career
when you Ragdolled that big robed boy in slo-mo, I was waiting for Claire de Lune to fade in. BeamNG.Skyrim
I think you mean Dovah Boys
same
i was waiting for the bass to drop honestly
Dovah Boys yesss!
Dovah Boys yesss!
Does anyone come back to this series from time to time and remember how hilarious it was.
Of course. (December 2021)
Of course. (March 2022)
I miss the golden era of polygon’s video content as a whole. All the McElroy content obviously, but everyone else was firing on all cylinders & putting out quality stuff. Remember how good the PUBG videos were too when they started goofing around in it?
Unraveled was probably the last of the really great original series.
They seem to upload less & less content like this. But certain stuff like their tabletop series feels off, I don’t know how to describe it.
Those golden era videos felt like friends hanging out & having a blast. I don’t know why I feel like this, but it sometimes feels more like a job.
I actually could guess why (not that anyone asked) but it’s probably our good pal COVID. Massive difference to be hanging out & making funny videos with your friends in person than making videos yourself at a distance.
I get that their content has changed so I don’t mean this to sound like what they’re doing now isn’t good, but I think Polygon will eventually get back to wackadoo content again.
@@kyleharris346 Polygon has always been in this really weird place of producing videos like a normal content creator but being attached to this relatively big games journal thing.

This series is my dishwashing show for years.
you didnt say "mod discovered" about the dodo so im assuming thats just in the vanilla game
Kzinssie (porygonlover322) I think it's part of the Penguin mod?
its a part of curious birds
Kzinssie (porygonlover322) well he only says mid discovered when a mod is discovered so...
I want to like this comment but I can't because it is at 420 rn
come back it's not anymore people ruined the sanctity
I'm starting to think that Griffin is on the path to becoming an Arby's witch, and this series is documentation of his training. Obviously he's taken Nick on as an acolyte after they defeated the Great Busto Menace together. Once the series is over, they will be the ones lurking behind the Arby's, offering tricked-out Skyrim discs to promising young game-breakers, thus maintaining the sacred balance.
wtf
I would want to know the powerset of the Arby's Witch coven, and what their creed is, and who are their nemesieses.
C M the Wendy’s witches are their most famous enemies, but Taco Bell witches can be annoying.
I much appreciate how this at one point transpired into a scene involving a gang of Penguins being slaughtered by a fifty foot bear to the track "X gon' give it to ya"
this is how skyrim went down, canonically
Kzinssie (porygonlover322) i see your comments on like every video and i just wanna say thank you
There was something really just upsetting about watching Azzlar take down those little penguins and they just....squack
"Now, they don't seem to be doing a whole lot of damage."
"They're penguins, Nick"
THE BOY DOES GO
I can't believe over four years have gone by since I first viewed this masterpiece, an absolute relic of the past.
Downloading Azzlar... I love the idea of a simple around Whiterun being a heart pounding race for your life.
Oh god, that penguin chasing the bear. I nearly popped a vein in my head laughing.
i was PRAYING you'd ragdoll the bear. this is my new favorite series holy SHIT i was dying laughing. i needed this. thank u.
1:31 This was even funnier when I'd briefly forgotten they'd already changed the character model and thought it resulted from some sort of super bear punch.
"THE BOY GOES. THE BOY DOES GO" is honestly so funny but I don't know if I could explain why it's funny to someone
I spent like 2 weeks trying to remember the names of this series I’m so glad to be back
Griffin's laugh is one of those sounds that theoretically should be annoying but then when you actually hear it you physically cannot help but smile
3:10 literally every time I watch this I think this is Griffin saying "pew" at first
Quote of the episode:
"This bird has one direction, and it is 'Go!'"
Fun fact; "Skyrim with guns" is Adam Kovic's quote. He works with Funhaus now, under RoosterTeeth. The quote was from back when he was at Inside Gaming, under Machinima. And he reeeally hates that it's his quote.
I'M SO EXCITED FOR WHAT YOU HAVE IN STORE MY BOYS
ARE YOU HAPPY WITH WHAT THEY HAD IN STORE
HOW WOULD YOU KNOW YOU'RE A DOG
Yuan Yuan THAT’S DOGGIST
17:41 LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN
10:50 Jarl's New Groove
These boys only install lore friendly mods.
More like VORE friendly if you know what I'm saying ;) ;) ;)
I'm saying I want to be eaten by a bear
Muscular gay man or animal. Or both. Furries are ok too. Eat me
Please. God
👄
It scares me how well Griffin can do the “ooh ah ah ah ah”
it looks so stupid typing it out
You two have struck gold yet again.
Griffen’s laughter is the sound of pure joy and I love it
OK, the Dark Tower references would have been good enough without the giant bear and evil train in the mix...
Hunter E you say true and I say thank ya
I do not aim with my fireball; he who aims with his fireball has forgotten the face of Griffin.
I aim with my force push.
I do not shoot with my bow; he who shoots with his bow has forgotten the face of Nick.
I shoot with my assault rifle.
I do not kill with my character; he who kills with his character has forgotten the face of Busto.
I kill with broken-ass physics.
Hunter E
Thank ye Sai McElroy and Robinson
See the BUSTO, ain't he keen? We all serve the fucking BeamNG.
FUCK YES
I pray every night for a new episode of this series.
That was Gordon, the steam engine. He's very cross.
yes boys
yes
good boys
top boys
Detective「Jorge Joestar ||」 agreed
such soft boys. their wonder delights me.
What an adorable bear
I'LL BE THE ROUNDABOUT
Sometimes I come back and watch these videos and I forget how Griffin was down with the sickness and it fucking kills me
When the boy walks out of the water and starts talking and there's that split second of silence as Nick and Griffin process what's happening, and then Griffin just absolutely loses his mind, that's why I get up in the morning. That's literally it.
It’s such a shame this came out before “yeet” was common vocabulary
Out of all the hilarious things in this video, Nick's "..is that a dodo?" made me lose my mind. Thanks for another installment of my new favorite polygon series!
I don't know about you guys, but I think seeing a reanimated, boot wearing skeleton with glowing eye sockets shooting combusting ammunition out of a silver assault rifle at a gigantic bear in the middle of an olden time fantasy village just made my life. I can die happy now
Uh excuse me, that tank engine's name is Gordon, he is very prideful and falls into fits of jealousy at his fellow engines. Your lack of knowledge for the remarkably deep and intriguing lore of the Thomas the Tank Engine franchise, quite frankly, disgusts me.
From this day forth, the Soft Boys and Thomas the Tank Engine fandoms shall be locked in a holy war.
Clayton C. I know you're joking but aprently Thomas does have a pretty deep an intresting lore.
like aprently the train are on the island because they will be killed elese where and it's the last safe haven
Gordon was not a very useful engine said Ringo Starr...or George Carlin...or Alec Baldwin...
Clayton C. Tomas the dank engine
Was it Gordon or Percy who got Cask Of Amontillado'd?
god that dodo animation is just so damn *tasty*
Fun fact: Killing Azzlar the Whiterun Beast gives you 10,000 beers
I love how my beloved Bone Dogg remains standing when he dies
But can we talk about the shout laugh-track?
I am POSITIVE the boy that was ragdolled into the river at 14:20 was secretly Angus McDonald in his formative years.
Bold of you to assume Angus McDonald isn't always in his formative years
Ok, I'm pausing the video and downloading that Aku Aku mod right now
14:00 man that's so cool to have Angus make a cameo like that
lol
Nick was about to say "I love that his eyeball flashlights shut off as he stands there slowly dying" and I agree
please...
please
come back...
We love you Touch the Skyrim.
Oh god, I need more Touch the Skyrim in my life. Please make more!!
guys, "eekum bokum" is what Mumbo Jumbo says in Banjo-Kazooie. Aku aku says "Boobegah".
and Crash doesn't collect apples... it's wumpa fruit. please respect the lore.
Wait wasn't there some Crash manga? I think they called them apples in that.
yeah wumpa fruit are just apples
then it was a translation error. they're more akin to the mango if you need a real world comparison.
I seriously hope you guys continue this series. I subscribed after watching these Skyrim vids, your comedy chemistry is so very much on point.
god I can't be the only person who heard that first _"pew"_ and thought it was griffin
episode 2: irileth and balgruuf lock bone dogg into conversation multiple times in order to further the quest. balgruuf comes back from death itself to talk to farengar
episode 15: balgruuf sits in a chair for 48 hours despite being held up by a sex goddess with infinite power because he resolutely refuses to continue the quest
JDHDHSHSHS IT'S MY FAVORITE THING WHEN GRIFFIN LAUGHS SO HARD HE LEANS AWAY FROM THE MICROPHONE
"THE BOY GOES! THE BOY DOES GO!" plays constantly in my head
I didn't think this series could get any better. BOY HOWDY WAS I WRONG
So glad this series exists, 13:23 is now my new favorite mod in Skyrim!
You know what ? Touch the skyrim is actually not so bad as a video game series :D
that's one small go for a boy,
and one giant go for boykind.
I am like 80% certain what was happening with the cabbages sliding around was that they were getting pushed by Aku Aku's giant, invisible body.
yup rewatching this masterpiece in 2021 again

25:46 "Insert Claire de lune here"
CrazyConnor2 I was literally waiting for this and was slightly disappointed it didn't happen
Me: Oh hey, everything slowly flowing in that one direction kind of reminds me of the Beam from the Dark Tower books.
Griffin: (immediately after that thought crosses my mind) Fuck yeah dude! We're following our ka-tet! We're just following the Beam!
LOVE this series! Thank you for making these x
5:07 love the subtle home improvement reference
Bone Dogg just straight Team Rocket-ing the Big Bear was a beautiful moment.
Thank you, boys.
Thank you, Skyrim.
26:05
Mufasa flashbacks.
"Long live the king..."
You guys are gonna Final Pam this thing super early at the rate you're going. I love it. Go harder.
my shell cracked at "Air Bud!"
This series is fantastic! Best yet. Keep making them!
I can't handle how great the PEW mod is.
Loved the Dark Tower reference just sliiiiped in there.
I love how Griffin transitions into showing off new mods. Like the gun mod.
I'm watching this whole series while listening to Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven and it syncs up perfectly like pink floyd and wizard of oz
Griffin making a Dark Tower reference shook me to my core.
all of the brothers make them from time to time, for instance travis one hit us with “you have forgotten the face of your whipple” it’s just kind of an impossible series not to quote if you’ve read it
Keep it up guys! Love the new series
When i was watching this, the Todd Howard and his Sweet Little Lies song started to play
QUALITY BOYS! QUALITY BOYS!
26:35 MADE IN HEAVEN
I love these throw boys.
25:43 now all this needs is Ave Maria playing in the background as the old man flies
I've had that gravity/sliding glitch happen in a cave once. Have no idea how it happened but it was hilarious
Oh, please, please, do a Christmas Special episode!! You can even have Santa Fus-Ro-Dah-ing his (rein)deers and such! So many mod options!
Team bear's blasting off agaaaaaaaaiiiin!
its goodboy friday
Even the guards arrows.... Peeew. It sounds so peaceful and happy
3:08 "First we gonna rock! Then we gonna roll! Then we let it pewww"
lol
the boy does go
I shouldn't watch anything by you guys while eating
Really surprised there was no Jamiroquai reference... Unless I missed it! Great episode boys!
That's the best old man party I've seen in a long, long time.
That dang ole Skyrams. Great work my beautiful boys.
I need this right now and I love you boys for providing it
New Pokemon. New Touch the Skyrim. Good shit 👌👌👌
The episode picks up when they start throwing children
open a new tab and put on claire de lune at 25:40 and let it play for the rest of the video. 5.5/5 very boys
ave maria would also be a great choice
Was thinking the exact same thing about Clair de Lune. Beautiful, beautiful car boyz.
I tried it it works god bless you....
"Can you make me invisible?"
"Well, technically I won't be able to see you anymore..."
My boys.. Never a bad video from Nick and Griffin.
That "Chocododo" is absolutely wonderful.
