The difference between Rat Baby and Succotash reminds me of what I've read about estate defense in ancient China - how you'd have the little dog patrolling the grounds looking for intruders, and if they found any, they'd go get the big dog. At the same time, I can't help but feel it'd be inverted in this case. Lumbering Succotash strides across acres in search of that which shouldn't be. If you're caught on those grounds, the grim visage of Rat Baby fades into view, inexorably, but slowly enough that you've got all the time you need to regret every decision that put you in front of her. Anyway this is very good! Thanks!
I know I'm a tad late here, but legitimately I looked away to talk to someone at that point. Looked back 45 seconds later and she was a rat demon. The McElroys are both a national treasure and also need to be locked away forever.
The entirety of the "Hello pervert" conversation is hysterical, but my favorite part has to be the fact that the voice Justin is doing is basically the same voice which he now uses for Beacon the Talking Sword in _The Adventure Zone: Amnesty_
Is anyone else here from the 'If Two Phantom Thieves Were On The Moon And One Killed The Other WITH a Rock, Would That Be Fucked Up Or What' fanfic? It sent me here to see Futaba's Fursona.
+Jacob Hildebrandt travis was totally in the right about that. it's a projectionist fucking something up and it happens more often than you'd think. i was very angry about this and i had to tell somebody sorry
The fact that at 14:57 you can hear Griffin lean away from his mic bc he actually checked to see if his computer took quarters like one of those old timey saloon pianos is hilarious to me.
Succotash is honestly one of Griffin's best voices like I pulled my headphones out upon hearing it...it's such a complex nuanced voice it doesn't even sound like our sweet boy
@@michaelknapp5149 well I certainly wasn't EXPECTING an answer but i can't exactly say i didn't want one... it definitely helps me understand the joke better, thanks dude!
@@maggsmarineverdancy7262 thank you for asking so this thread could be here for other people :3 and to remind people like me with bad memories who've seen Independence Day thirty times that this is what the joke was about. because I didn't get it either.

"You've been squelched for spamming the chat" Well, thank god they obviously have their 'chat spamming' problem TOTALLY AND 100% UNDER CONTROL RIGHT FELLAS?
I was thinking the same thing the whole time, you couldn't see a damn thing from the gold farmers and account sellers. WHO EVEN RESPONDS TO THOSE!? RAT BABY HAD IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT VAPE LIFE BUT YOU GOTTA SPAM SELLING GOLD!
i was on a cross country trip for christmas and the road was icing up and it was raining very hard. as the passenger, i pulled out my phone and started to watch this video, because i wanted the last thing i ever saw on this planet before i were to slip off the road and die to be fucking rat baby
Rat Baby is what would happen if Yoda and a Precious Moments hellchild were put into a genetic blender with an entire bottle of ether and there was a button on the blender that read "Pulse & Accept Sins" and it got held down for a really long time
"genuinely enjoyable"??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! that rat is going to be in my nightmares now. usually monster factory makes horrible things that are somewhat disturbing but that rat is my sleep paralysis demon
This is why I only trust Polygon for my investigative reporting. They're the only video game news outlet with the COURAGE to stand up to BIG TOBACCO #vapelife
Arby, Succotash, and The Final Pam have to be my favorite creations. I can’t even figure out why I like ‘tash so much. Arby is easy, he’s my dad, and The Final Pam cannot be disliked, but ‘tash is a mystery to me.
I absolutely adore that Griffin and Justin have no time whatsoever for this game's sexist, fetishistic bullshit and immediately get into dismantling the trope completely.
selome Thats more perversion than sexism, Sexism is more of a predjudice and stereotype deal. I can't really say what you're thinking so if you want to have a chat that would be cool.
11:20 "It looks like it was turned upside down, but like fixed in post" Me: *Immediately turns phone upside down* Me: *Cant unsee what I have just see*
jesus cockmongling christ i haven't laughed as hard at anything in my life as hard as i did at SUCCOTAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH like shit i legitimately almost vomited. kudos to you guys
My favorite part about when it descends into something terrible at 8:20 is how Justin stutters once when saying it. It's like he knows he's about to say something fucking awful and go down a terrible path, but commits to it anyways.
Look, I love all the precious creations of the factory, but I have an actual hard time looking at Rat Baby.... I'll take Truck at his worst any day over Rat Baby.
You guys are so funny that you made getting stuck in the world, like, consistently hilarious. Even though nothing was happening. For, like, minutes. I'm so impressed
Beacon is a Tim Curry impersonation. I know this comment is two years old, but I feel like all McElroy fans ought to be fully versed in Curry’s oeuvre to fully appreciate their craft.
Out of everything to come out of Monster Factory, my favorite thing is the line,"Sorry rat baby, you had your chance, and you fucked it, it's time for Succotash."
well coming back after several years i have to say watching justin and griffin create succotash and then react to loli bait while making rat baby- such whiplash! such variety!
really love that the devs were willing to put up invisible barriers to keep players from gliding into areas they shouldnt be, but are totally cool with leaving all of the other cliff ledges as potential death traps.
my friends got into this game hardcore and they pulled me into it last night and as i was playing i was like "wait where have i seen this game before" and then i jumped off the cliff during the tutorial and couldn't figure out how to revive and i was like "ah yes. J and G did this in Monster Factory. I'm gonna go watch that shit again" and here we are
I've been watching ~4 episodes of The Adventure Zone daily, so now whenever Justin speaks I imagine Taako saying it. 8:27 - 9:21 was so much funnier because of this.
I actually enjoyed playing this game for awhile, because it's a game made for weebs and perverts, but it also lets you make a disturbing goblin grandma with an axe that's larger than her.
I love Justin making Griffin immensely uncomfortable with Rat Baby. I love Griffin eventually just deciding to truck on, ignoring Justin. I love everything about this.
I watched this video after having surgery and I almost busted my stitches out of my stomach! Best thing Polygon does, one my favorites on youtube for sure.
"Take it up with God" might be a solid official tagline for Monster Factory.

my stomach and lungs hurt from laughing so hard

I'm so glad you commented this because I skipped ahead way too soon.
Honestly I can't get over how the voice for her was basically a 1920s New York Gangster.

Beacon would call someone a pervert. Metal bastard sword
*_The loli effect_*
It's just a thing i made up with no purpoise
Or purpose.
But definitley no dolphins
But also Doug Peterson: profession demon
you're so right and now that you've pointed it out I cannot stop laughing
That's a really good point Griffin - I guess I've never blamed god for rats before.
I haven’t laughed so hard at anything in my entire life.
This quote is just constantly playing on loop in my head.
I've never really blamed God for rats. But I have thanked her.

I thought Rat Baby was gone forever, but Succotash was the rainbow angel who saved her from the darkness
Limey Lassen Then as soon as he came, he was gone. He was taken into the skies by angels to be one of The Final Pam’s many boys
The fact that at 14:57 you can hear Griffin lean away from his mic bc he actually checked to see if his computer took quarters like one of those old timey saloon pianos is hilarious to me.

I love that you managed to make hideous mutant creatures in such an obnoxiously pretty game. You're doing the Lord's work.
I don't know, those cat familiars were pretty damn horrific. Honestly id rather have rat baby as a pet.
Visually this game is unironically disgusting. Not just for the pervy bits, it's so oversaturated it hurts the eyes.

Oddly specific but completely accurate
When he said “ meet the loser of every season of rupauls drag race” I died laughing
I don't think ive laughed harder than i had the second griff realized he could name that uncomfortably horny cat "vape life."
i’m glad that you guys turned the loli pander race into something genuinely enjoyable rather than pervy and weird like the devs probably wanted
If you don't use that race to make a horrible chinchilla toddler demon then what is even the fucking point
Hello pervert!
"genuinely enjoyable"??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! that rat is going to be in my nightmares now. usually monster factory makes horrible things that are somewhat disturbing but that rat is my sleep paralysis demon
I’d take rat baby over a panda loli any day
the phrase "i can see his mouthy-mouth gummy-works" haunts me
8:55 Justin brutally rips out my soul by saying Daddy in Beacon voice
holy fuck I can't believe they didn't notice how Rat Baby's upper eyelids kept like wiggling up and down on their own it's like super uncanny im dying

I love our dad and his one wrasslin' tooth so much
Succotash is such an underrated monster. I keep quoting "WAKE THE F UP, IT'S SUCCOTASH" years after this Monster Factory.
Hilarious that you got silenced, but all the gold spammers didn't. Big tobacco indeed.
Go figure, Succotash has arms perfectly adapted to life in the clouds.
