a word from a bug

- Forgive me for my awful voice acting. I wanted the bug to have an accent... I do not have that accent. Originally, I just wanted to make a bug character, but then I thought... "hmm, he looks like he would be at home on a tv show," and then made this whole little animated sequence to fit. Horatio isn't the best at delivering a positive message, but he means well.

I'm seriously blown away by all the supportive comments... Thank you all for your kindness! It makes me really happy to know people are enjoying the stuff that I make ❤
He’s a big boi with yellow blood.
You deserve that and more my good lad
He's the best, Mr Horatio 😌 so glad I saw him today ❤Also a nice soothing voice he's got.
You deserve way more attention, I loved the vid so much ❤
I loved it!!
mr mcgrub is way more bold than me if he's just casually sitting on the edge of the void fishing
What does Mr Grubs fishin for ?
🎏🎣
To be fair, it seems like he's lived in that lil corner of the boid for a while, so not being afraid of it makes sense.
He probably got wings tbf
How would you react if you felt a bite? From the infinite dark below?
bug
drug
slug
pug
mug
rug
Love that bug doesn't mind a quick chat. Like imagine knowing nobody in the void and then someone comes around and you just let them get on with their day
Not the fishing rod floating away😭😭 he’s so chill about it all but it made me a wee bit sad
I feel that mr mcgrub has let go of it before, so he knows that it'll find him again!
This is so cool... The voice acting, the camera filter, the uncanny emptiness... Very well done :)
This feels like the kind of video that's gonna be recommended to everyone in like 8 years
Oh definitely
I hope so
immortalise me
absolutely
I'm glad i pressed the "show something new" button about 10 minutes ago, going through a rough patch atm so this was good.
I feel encouraged by sir Horatio McGrubins and hope he finds some more good books to read nwn
the algorithm randomly recommended this to me and i'm not complaining. this is very very nice! you did wonderful with the scottish/irish(?) accent too :D
It's Scottish 🏴
About to say, yeah.
I’m quarantining with Covid right now, and I didn’t know that I needed some encouragement from a bug so badly. Thank you :)
same here actually! i hope we both get through it soon
@@catboyblackhole Thank you! I hope you get well soon too! :)
Mr. McGrub seems like a very kind and laid-back individual. He brightened my day ☀️
I hope to see more of him in the future.
I appreciate you saying these things Mr Mcgrubbins
Mr. McGrub has the most calming little voice, I could literally sleep to this. I could watch an entire series about him.
Asmr voice
This was very cozy and comforting and I adore your art style but I’M SCARED FOR MR GRUB 😭 He’s gonna be all alone forever D:
Reminds me of another cute beetle character trapped in isolation (Gregor Samsa from Metamorphosis 😢)
He has us! And I'm sure he will send another little message if he so pleases. ❤❤
i appreciate mr. mcgrubins kind words :)
this was really well made! its the perfect mix of uncanny and comforting, and mr. mgrubins' design really fits his personality in this video. very well made :D
I need more wholesome bug pep talks in my life.
Very friend shaped bug.
thank you mcgrub. it’s nice to know there are Mister Rogers among bugkind, too
i literally just want to hug him until both of us are feeling better
What a delightful little video! The style is so nostalgic in a way, with the sound design and visual aesthetic, and kinda uncannily cozy. Very well done!
The youtube algorithm blesses us once more
Took a look through your videos and damn man, criminally underrated! Would love to see a process video for this fella
Just finished watching this and went to look at the view count, expected at LEAST several hundred and was surprised to find it was only 300?? WOW, this is super cool!! Love the style and effects. And your voice acting is NOT as awful as you think it is!! This is awesome!
My voice gets an ego boost for today!!! Thank you for your support ❤
Feels like he’s an eldritch being who just saved me from certain death and is about to make me an offer to become his warlock
If this ends up becoming a series, that is how I will know that nature is healing.
didn't think id be getting perfect life advice from a british beetle that lives in the void, but im digging it
*scottish. not british. and it’s not an actual scottish accent lol
I love this little bug guy!!!!!!!! He's so charming!!!!!
Sometimes I think words of affirmation don't work on me and then a cute little bug in the void tells me I'm a warrior and I'm tearing up like a cold drink in the sun.
Thank you, Mr. McGrub, for these wise words. Have a good time
Holy shit!!! This is spectacular! I am so glad this popped up on my feed, I can visually SEE the care put into this, and I feel all cozy and comfy after watching it -w- Thank you so much! I hope you get all the recognition you deserve!!! TAKE MY SUB!!!!!
Thank you Scottish Bug for your kindness and words of wisdom :’)
This animation has such a stop motion vibe to it tbh it’s pretty cool
this is the brand of comfort I didn’t know existed. thank you dearly for making this 😭
The internet respectfully asks for more bug
"my awful voice acting" Not only was it incredibly endearing and comforting, it also fits the character extremely well! I'd say you nailed it.
Oh my god this is so CUTE AND WELL MADE WHAT THE HELL???
I absolutely adore the calm yet cheery voice of the little old bug, and the way he just talks to you like some kids series presenters is lovely! The music is such a lovely touch!
I will be sure to visit him again!
Tonight, I just had the closing performance of the first show I ever wrote. It took me years and it really means a lot to me, so for it to be over is weird and sad and surreal and a whole lot of other things. Mostly I was starting to feel alone, but this has helped in a weird way. Thank you!
You kidding me? You DO got the accent! And that bug just made my day. Thanks~ ^^
Absolutely delightful! And just what I needed today ❤
The british bug parent figure you never had as a child 😔
words cannot describe how much i love this
What a wholesome bug in a rug. 💖
thank you Horatio, your kind words are deeply appreciated
His voice is way too calming, I wanna take a nap now but I have to finish up chores and then head to the airport later
If this was a teaser for a series, I would definitely watch it.
This is... oddly beautiful. Thank you, Mr. McGrub.
This is so lovely, the voice you chose for him, the cozy filter, it’s all so welcoming and soft! Probably my biggest special interest is bugs, so this just hit a whole new level of feeling safe and seen for me! Thank you!!!
This is such a charming little animation. Reminds me of old stop motion films
Can't afford to give up, like a zombie I'll keep shambling forward.
This, seriously, is relaxing as hell. I literally love it, despite it only being up for like the past 6 or so days i’ve rewatched it nearly twice that, for someone who grew up with alot of older shows which my parents showed me, such as the bagpuss, trumpton, and camberwick green, this feels really nostalgic and just nice. I’ve genuinely considered having a go at something similar myself. Thank you.
More of this please.
You nailed the voice he seems so well intentioned and kind despite it all he’s lovely
this made me cry, i think its very comforting. i'd like to see more of mr mcgrub!!
I love how cozy this feels. It could have felt more unsettling given the void but a mix of the filter, the voice acting, the lighting, and the simple way the bug moves makes it very comforting.
this reminds me of a book I used to love as a child but can't find at all. it was quiet empty miniature scenes of houses in soft yellow lighting. I liked it
Mr. McGrub has a wonderful soothing voice and i'm forever grateful for his words of support
i LOVE this so much
Mr. McGrubbins is so stinking cute
this is such a sweet video! my friends and i have been going through it the past weeks so this felt like the perfect timing to hear such a supportive message 🥰
this is so adorable thank you for this. I hope you had fun animating this just as much I enjoyed watching this!
I genuinely need more chill and wholesome content like this, it's very refreshing
I’d love to see more of this bug. Keep him company sometimes while he gives me life advice and encouragement. I’m here to listen!😊
This is the definition of charming but a little (just a touch) unhinged. It's more comfortable that way, I think.
I love you, little bug. 🥺
I was genuinely having a bad day today. It got better once I came back home to my family, but it was still one of the worst days I'd had in a while. I was tearing myself apart over my faults, and any time I tried to count my blessings or think about all the good things I'd done, I'd just ruin it myself by thinking I still wasn't good enough or interpreting everyone's actions as being purely against me. Once I returned to my family, I felt way better, but the feelings still lingered. I know they won't go away permanently. But I also know that they will never stay around permanently.
We're all in a crummy endless void, but there's always that cozy corner we can come back to.
Thank you, Mr. Grub.
Hope things go well to you
Today was a nightmare of a day, and I saw the thumbnail, and the vibe immediately spoke to me - and then this sweet, charming bug encouraging me not to give up.
Thank you
GIVE THAT POOR BUG A HOUSE EXPANSION PLEASE 😭😭
Wasn't expecting to cry over a bug today... this was so lovely and just what I needed
The aesthetics of this are so unique and beautiful, I am inspired to make something good now
This is, and will always be, the most comforting piece of media i have ever seen.
The way that Mr McGrub is so calm and laid-back, it feels like i’m having a chat with an old relative. This video is genuinely so heart-warming
This is the absolute perfect balance of strange but comforting. Incredibly well done!
thank you so much for making this and for youtube showing it to me right when i needed to see it... mr mcgrub is so kind and encouraging and i've never been more delighted to sit down for a chat with a bug
So grateful for the subtitles 🙏🏾 ❤
Showing me this after growing emotional attachment to a beetle roaming my kitchen floor, which got its lower 2 legs stomped on making its short and blissful life a lot more miserable, thank you, thank you so much
I love this, please, I want to see more of this supportive little bug friend, he’s the best
I really needed to hear the ramblings of a lonely bug today. Thank you ❤ this piece of art has such a cozy feel. It makes me feel safe 😊
I found this video while I was at a real low point of depression recently, and this gave me the boost I needed to keep on trucking on, and today I'm feeling awesome as hell! Thanks, Mr. Mcgrubbin
Dude, I would not have guessed that wasn't an authentic accent. You sound like David Tennant. Awesome voice acting, lovely message. Really nice stuff.
thank you i really have been depressed lately but watching this has made my day thank you
Man, I needed this today. Thank you, really
i'd pop in every few days to get this lad some library books
The algorithm putting work knowing to send this to me when I'm absolutely fed up with life for the past few days. Thank you for the little animation. It was extremely touching (:
I very nearly cried upon hearing this bug's message, it's so sweet! Mr. McGrub, you're a real one! (And thank you, Biscoff Enthusiast, for creating this masterpiece! It looks sooooooo good, I genuinely thought it was mostly claymation, it's that good!) Thanks a ton, and have a wonderful day, you awesome insect, you!
And you too! You have a wonderful day too! :D
Seeing this after being sick for about a week now is very reassuring. Thank you :)
I will love McGrub for the rest of my existence. So wholesome and heartwarming! ❤
Why this is so cute??
Thank you. I needed something like this. My cat went missing yesterday and might not come back.
He seems like the Mr Rogers of the bug world and I’m here for it ❤
Thank you so much mr mcgrubins, real pleasure meeting you
That's why I'm a fan of them man
I need more of Mr.Bug
He's so adorable
Adding this to my playlist of ✨️werid interesting videos✨️
i really needed this today, thank you.
:O i love this SO MUCH! i was expecting something silly, not something WHOLESOME and affirming! (also i loved the irish accent, very noice! i offer u x1 VIRTUAL HUG)
Great program, thank you mr Grub! Would love to tune in for more!
This was so warm and gentle. And the voice acting and voice over was wonderful! Thank you for this short but sweet moment.🌷
I can't believe THE Horatio McGrubins just gave ME a pep talk.
I'm the luckiest bug in the world 🖤🐞
This is so comforting, I love the voice
Why does the bug look so 😍 😊❤🎉😍🥰☺😇
The encouragement we all need sometimes
