You casually dropping that the clownscript is a REAL conlong youve constructed puts me dangerously close to the edge of an obsessive translation pit I don't want to dive into. Youre a goddamn legend for that.
@@amythetoon6535 there is one a guy made for the funsies, he also made a biblically accurate angel conlang, and the other one is a worldbuilding project that makes clowns a homo sapien subspecies
1:27 The fact that the song from 'Wire' wasn't even MENTIONED in this segment blows my mind. That song sounds like absolutely nothing else I've ever heard before or since, and I can't get enough of it. More of that! We demand it!
For Bigtop Burger, I really wish you did a commentary version where you explain all the little things. I love that I could watch it with zero background and just enjoy how whimsical it is. Yet I definitely want to know more of what is going on in the inner machinations of your mind. Based on your curtains, it is an enigma. Also my fav song is the wire one, whatever that is called.
11:00 Jfc dude your artistic ability even as a kid was outstanding. I mean you've got foreshortening, motion, decent proportions and composition, all going on in these drawings from when you were a kid. That's nuts. Tip my hat bro, you're clearly a natural born artist, but more importantly a practised one.
Knowing that cats was some thing that you only seen recently honestly came as a shock. With how integral it is to both the plot and several jokes among various videos on your channel, along with the absolutely stunning segment where we see the original clown author, I thought it must’ve been some kind of huge foundational experience for you.
You know, funnily enough, hearing that Worthikids is not always motivated 100% of the time actually makes me feel a little bit better about my own struggles with motivation. I always am in this mindset that great creative minds have this huge store of motivation that I just couldn't hope to ever keep up with - but knowing that even one of the greatest and most creative animating minds of our time struggles with keeping up the motivation is...kind of a nice comforting thing to know, in a world that constantly demands output from us.
Worthikids actually has a song about promising to draw things but not being able to keep those promises and feeling guilty about it. It’s called Dullahan. I also like the whole EP it’s on, if you’re willing to listen to the whole thing. It’s only four songs.
The mere idea of Tom waits getting a call from netflix about a potential role in an animated show just makes me experience pure joy. What a Legend you are
It's so weird that this is one of the most talented people on all of TH-cam. Animator, writer, voice actor, MUSICIAN!!! And yet so nice, honest and modest. Thank you, Worthi, for everything you've ever made.
Seeing your tween dnd comics gives me a joy and hope I cannot describe. I used to do the same kind of doodles during dnd, my girlfriend's artstyle as a teen was very reminiscent of yours. This feels like a a beautiful sign or example that it is so, so, so worth it to keep drawing and keep fostering those ideas you have as a kid with ocs or ttrpgs or just silly doodles. Thank you man, this is so heartwarming
I’m no expert but I bet that Wizard Beer being your first short is the main reason you’re only just now hitting 1 mil. You’re probably my favorite indie animator ever since all the old newgrounds guys are either youtubers, streamers, or just quietly doing big fully professional work. I was a little surprised you hadn’t done a youtube short before Wizard Beer just cos shorts do A LOT for a channels visibility. Happy for your success regardless! I don’t usually buy merch but I will probably be one of the first to buy a Bigtop Burger shirt when you make those. You genuinely excite & delight me every time I see a new animation on your channel. They’re all gold, and they have been since I started watching back in highschool.
Friends in Low Places has to be my favorite song of yours, and that's a miracle just because every song you make is a BANGER. i was so excited to hear the new version in the S2 compilation video. obsesseddd
15:58 ...OH "Auditions"! The waxing crescent with the dots is a [k] sound, tail thing is a [t] sound (shown in Ian's explanation of "Cats"), Carrying that over to the first image: Waning crescent is a [d] sound, The 3 dots is [ʃ] (sh) One dot is [n]. (vowel)d•(vowel)ʃ•n•(plural) "Od-ish-n-s" Auditions.
Been here ever since witches on tinder, you deserve all the good and success that your work has brought you. Congratulations on one million supporters 🎉
I don’t remember what piece of content of yours was the first I watched but “Wire” is amazing and blew my mind. inspiring to see what can come from a single creator with a vision. Thank you for all the smiles and here’s to another million
Capt. Yajima is exceptional, I hope you riff on it some more, in whatever form. I was getting a bit of Kami-sama (from Dragon Ball) from Prof. Genius as well. In a good way. Also Drawfee collab when? They're big fans of yours, and I bet you guys would hit it off real well. (also also, that Nostalgiacritic - D&D - Tom Waits namedrop trifecta just got me all up in my feels, you're just like me frfr, parasocially speaking of course...) (also also also, The Todd Glass show is the pinnacle of podcasts, if you're ever looking for another podcast to fill the podcast hole. podcast.)
Honestly the raw, 'demo-esque' for lack of a better term, style of music is what drew me to bigtop burger and then your other works after. There's beauty in the imperfections and the way your vocals are mixed is both compelling and unique. Great work, keep it up!
I didn't know you were doing this! I've had a burning question for a while, is the implication that Cats the musical was written by space clowns billions of years ago and it somehow managed to get to earth completely unchanged, OR that every civilization with the capability to write a play will inevitably and independently write Cats? Congrats on the milestone, you deserve it. I love all your videos, not just Bigtop. Especially Palpatines journey and the one with all the horror characters in the convenience store
as a funny thought, you could have clown ears be like snake ears where they're all internal and while they don't hear sound traveling through air as well, they hear vibrations very keenly. And that could be why an opera was such a big deal for them too, lmao. It's air sound they hear really well because of all the echo.
That conlang you describe sounds super cool! And yeah, it's awesome to hear you sort of brewed a lot of these ideas out of your old DnD sketches. I do the same thing, sketching character actions during play.
The transparency of inspiration and old works you show is so grounding, your recent work is incredible and I happily await more. Thank you so much for all the crazy playful worlds and stories you create 'cuz I'll be visiting the next.
As a fellow homeschooler learning art and animation, learning that you're homeschooled gives me a lot of hope! Thank you for making this, I love learning about the inner workings behind art that I love
Bigtop merch is the only merch id wear, i absolutely fell in love with the show! I love the artstyle and specifically how you draw their expressions. It makes the show come to life for me. Also your humor is straight up my alley, i love it!
WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP MACADAMIA NUT. not only do i love this cookie but also immeditealy brings my mind back to the baby trent's christmas jack stauber video oh my gods
Holy shit. My brain thinks of this channel as a small little love-project and now it's huge. You deserve it all man. Time to get an Amazon deal a la Hazbin Hotel. lol
I'm so happy to hear your own opinions on the sound of Friends in Low places.. its a type of music/sound IVE been looking for, for SO long and its by far my favourite song just because of it. So absolutely hyped to hear more of that!!! 💚
I love every Big TOP Burger said in this video, and I'm very excited for season 3. Recently I showed both seasons to my friend and she loved it! Congrats on the absolutely deserved 1 MILLION
I'm so sad that Wire isn't interconnected with Bigtop Burger, as I'm the opposite of you and adore interconnected universes, loved them even before becoming a massive Cosmere fan. I'm just gonna have a fan headcanon in my head that they are, but still gonna respect and inform people that the real canon is just easter eggs, not interconnected universes.
The fact you had the first *rock* of *rock* being Modest Mouse has immediately lifted my soul into the ethereal clown realm. That makes me unreasonably happy.
Grats on 1 mil dude!!~✨ I'm so happy Prof. Genius is your favorite character because he's such an adorable goof and it gives me hope we'll see more Captain Yajima in the future!! (PLEEEEEASSEEE!!!)
The cost of insomnia yesterday is missing this live celebration today. Congrats on 1 MILLION. My favorite of your cartoons is still Captain Yajima! Leaning in to the Topcraft/Rankin-Bass stop motion aesthetic and Paul Comer’s character design are *chef’s kiss.* Yajima is like a thought-to-be lost and then rediscovered Japanese cartoon.
KAMEN RIDER MENTION!!! I'm glad that Kamen Rider was even mentioned on a channel this big because it is a big fixation of mine and I hope this brings more attention to Kamen Rider cus i love the show
I wasn´t expecting seeing the face of Worthie in my foryou page, and i dont know that he seems exactly like i imagine him or nothing like i imagine him.
I had no idea this whole channel was a one-man-project! Holy shit! You’ve done all the animations and music by yourself??? That is so crazy impressive I can’t even believe it
I know it wasn't intentional but I giggled at how you said the idea of this Pennywise character was "floating" around in your head. Congrats on the million subs!
16:28 just a fun fact for the curious, the practice of a language being written in different directions on alternating lines is called "boustrophedon"! it's how a lot of writing in ancient greece was done as well :)
coming back to this video after listening to the Beam of Light album really makes me appreciate it more. I grew up on old GameMaker games that used those iconic MIDI instruments, and it makes me weirdly nostalgic listening to your musical style!
I love your work. I always vibed so much with your animations and music. Now I understand why. I'm also a big WEEN fan and a Tom Waits fan (which I saw you reference in that skeleton video.) and as a teen I really wanted to get into animation but never ended up doing it. It's ok though, I have other things going on now and that dream will live on vicariously through your excellent videos. On another note I'm glad Bigtop is getting one final season. Sounds like the perfect length for this short and comfy show. Can't wait to see how this all comes together and where you go from there! Congrats on 1mil!
I love the tone and style of your music. Lo-fi production on purpose, with intention and an AMAZING bass tone. And just awesome hooks. I would have never guessed you were a Ween fan
Awesome q&a Worthi! I loved you talking about your D&D comics and how you and your siblings riffed off of them. I used to do a similar thing with a friend and my sis with Sonic OCs, i have notebooks full of little comic strips we would draw weekly (usually during worship when we should have been listening lol) and we would do "crossover" episodes with each others characters and celebrities and turn them into our own versions. Fun to hear others did the same! Cheers!
CONGRATS ON 1 MILLION!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!! I PLAY THE CLARINET TOOOOOO!!!!! The most important thing to playing clarinet is your embouchure! Exercise your face muscles and you'll get clearer notes! Can't wait to see what's in store!

No. That's the joke.

"I don't wanna get to deep into [Clown culture]"
Worthi I would read a 300 page book about Clown culture
need a video essay on BTB clowns
I would read any number of novels made available on the topic
1000 page novel for the clown universe for me, I would even take it without illustrations.
@@tiredbird471 I demand illustrations. How else am I supposed to appreciate the clown art?
I want to get lost reading a wiki exclusively about the clown lore of BTB
how did you only JUST hit one million?! that’s honestly ridiculous, your animations are amazing
Especially with all the people stealing his Wizard Beer video
It’s because the platform prefers Mr. Beast and the Paul types
@@Gloomdrake youtube trying to suppress the creative geniuses, sad to see 😔😔

IT IS MY FAVORITE AS WELL. I love Big J, the whole dang animation frankly, but I'm a sucker for big tough people being cool like her.

The lyrical part of Wire is my favorite section in that entire song. I love the guitar getting darker sounding as they move in for an actual attack.
Bro I just looked at your channel your literally his doppelgänger

Please, what happens after the dark hole or before the stranded "astronaut"
When #youtube stops categorizing it as "for children" simply because it's stop motion.
19:33 my favorite is cesare saying “you gotta look FRESH!! OUTTA THE MORGUE!”
BIGTOP MERCH ‼️‼️‼️ YOOOO
i am buying it immediately
Cesare merch would go hard.
15:58 ...OH "Auditions"!
The waxing crescent with the dots is a [k] sound, tail thing is a [t] sound (shown in Ian's explanation of "Cats"),

Capt. Yajima is exceptional, I hope you riff on it some more, in whatever form. I was getting a bit of Kami-sama (from Dragon Ball) from Prof. Genius as well. In a good way.
Also Drawfee collab when? They're big fans of yours, and I bet you guys would hit it off real well.
(also also, that Nostalgiacritic - D&D - Tom Waits namedrop trifecta just got me all up in my feels, you're just like me frfr, parasocially speaking of course...)
(also also also, The Todd Glass show is the pinnacle of podcasts, if you're ever looking for another podcast to fill the podcast hole. podcast.)
oh my god a drawfee and worthikids collab would be AMAZING
Honestly the raw, 'demo-esque' for lack of a better term, style of music is what drew me to bigtop burger and then your other works after. There's beauty in the imperfections and the way your vocals are mixed is both compelling and unique. Great work, keep it up!
I didn't know you were doing this! I've had a burning question for a while, is the implication that Cats the musical was written by space clowns billions of years ago and it somehow managed to get to earth completely unchanged, OR that every civilization with the capability to write a play will inevitably and independently write Cats?
Congrats on the milestone, you deserve it. I love all your videos, not just Bigtop. Especially Palpatines journey and the one with all the horror characters in the convenience store
infinite monkeys with infinite typewriters will eventually write hamlet. same with cats
congrats, king! You are so inspiring to the indie space
as a funny thought, you could have clown ears be like snake ears where they're all internal and while they don't hear sound traveling through air as well, they hear vibrations very keenly.
And that could be why an opera was such a big deal for them too, lmao. It's air sound they hear really well because of all the echo.
16:35 this actually has a name! It's called "boustrophedon" and it was used on a lot of ancient Greek inscriptions, and a few other languages as well.
Learning that "back on broadway" is in fact a reference to the Mr Magoo Christmas Carol is a full circle moment for me.
Genuinely nice to see you in person. Please keep doing what you do. There is nothing like your content and can't wait to see what you do next!
That conlang you describe sounds super cool! And yeah, it's awesome to hear you sort of brewed a lot of these ideas out of your old DnD sketches. I do the same thing, sketching character actions during play.
all I got out of this is that without the nostalgia critic we wouldn't have bigtop burger
The concept of a clown species that are completley indestructible is such a simple but brilliantly absurd and creative concept I love it.
"One more, and then we're done"
Doves take to the sky and tears fall from my eyes
It is insanely cool to know that Bobobo was one of your inspirations, I use to love watching it on Toonami
Cats, Mr Magoo, BoBoBo, DnD, JRock, Trek, Ultra Man, Super Sentai, evidently the perfect suite of influences for an artist
If you do merch, I would highly recc contacting the animator Umami. He genuinely has the best looking merch of any youtuber I have ever seen.
The self-control and wisdom to end Bigtop Burger after 3 seasons is commendable
The transparency of inspiration and old works you show is so grounding, your recent work is incredible and I happily await more. Thank you so much for all the crazy playful worlds and stories you create 'cuz I'll be visiting the next.

As a fellow homeschooler learning art and animation, learning that you're homeschooled gives me a lot of hope! Thank you for making this, I love learning about the inner workings behind art that I love
I never really watch these Q&A videos from people I'm subscribed to, but you're so interesting and talented I can't resist.
Bigtop merch is the only merch id wear, i absolutely fell in love with the show! I love the artstyle and specifically how you draw their expressions. It makes the show come to life for me. Also your humor is straight up my alley, i love it!
WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP MACADAMIA NUT. not only do i love this cookie but also immeditealy brings my mind back to the baby trent's christmas jack stauber video oh my gods
Free apple is literally my favorite video on youtube. A must click whenever it pops up in any recommendations.
Holy shit. My brain thinks of this channel as a small little love-project and now it's huge. You deserve it all man. Time to get an Amazon deal a la Hazbin Hotel. lol
Mr Magoos Christmas Carol was NOT something i was expecting to hear about today. Friggin love that stupid special!
0:12 FIRST ONE LET'S GOOOOOOOO
You are a visionary please never stop
I'm so happy to hear your own opinions on the sound of Friends in Low places.. its a type of music/sound IVE been looking for, for SO long and its by far my favourite song just because of it. So absolutely hyped to hear more of that!!! 💚
As someone who has been working on a conlang for 21 years, that conlang segment had me HOOKED. I need to see a full video explaining it.
I love every Big TOP Burger said in this video, and I'm very excited for season 3. Recently I showed both seasons to my friend and she loved it!
Congrats on the absolutely deserved 1 MILLION
“No, worse than that, I was homeschooled. The worst kind.” I was homeschooled too and I have to agree.
dang, didn't think we're gonna get high quality lore drop at 1 mill. congrats man!! level of detail is crazy amazing
You are so incredibly talented, I’m so glad you have gotten to 1M!
worthikids cooking channel when???
every time you post it just confirms that you're the coolest person online
I need to see a writeup on the clown writing system...
I'm so sad that Wire isn't interconnected with Bigtop Burger, as I'm the opposite of you and adore interconnected universes, loved them even before becoming a massive Cosmere fan. I'm just gonna have a fan headcanon in my head that they are, but still gonna respect and inform people that the real canon is just easter eggs, not interconnected universes.
it makes so much sense that worthikids is a bobobo-fan
I love the SpongeBob curtains in the background
hell ye
The fact you had the first *rock* of *rock* being Modest Mouse has immediately lifted my soul into the ethereal clown realm. That makes me unreasonably happy.
This is an embarrassing way to find out I’m not subbed
Grats on 1 mil dude!!~✨
I'm so happy Prof. Genius is your favorite character because he's such an adorable goof and it gives me hope we'll see more Captain Yajima in the future!! (PLEEEEEASSEEE!!!)
Let's fucking gooooo
The cost of insomnia yesterday is missing this live celebration today.
Congrats on 1 MILLION.
My favorite of your cartoons is still Captain Yajima!
Leaning in to the Topcraft/Rankin-Bass stop motion aesthetic and Paul Comer’s character design are *chef’s kiss.*
Yajima is like a thought-to-be lost and then rediscovered Japanese cartoon.
sir, i *WILL* be here for anything you ever work on.
I would watch an hour long video of you explaining, demonstrating, and writing that conlang that is SO FUCKING COOL
Worthikids is a real person. we. are we even worthy
Pleeeaaase more Captain Yajima, it’s my favorite video! We quote it all the time at home!
My gosh dude! Even as a kid your DnD art was incredible!
KAMEN RIDER MENTION!!!
I'm glad that Kamen Rider was even mentioned on a channel this big because it is a big fixation of mine and I hope this brings more attention to Kamen Rider cus i love the show
I wasn´t expecting seeing the face of Worthie in my foryou page, and i dont know that he seems exactly like i imagine him or nothing like i imagine him.
I was a homeschooled theatre kid double whammy
I had no idea this whole channel was a one-man-project! Holy shit! You’ve done all the animations and music by yourself??? That is so crazy impressive I can’t even believe it
I know it wasn't intentional but I giggled at how you said the idea of this Pennywise character was "floating" around in your head. Congrats on the million subs!
Congrats again on the milestone, I appreciate you taking the time to get visual aids and photos of all that stuff!
because you can bake, make THE bigtop burger
16:28 just a fun fact for the curious, the practice of a language being written in different directions on alternating lines is called "boustrophedon"! it's how a lot of writing in ancient greece was done as well :)
coming back to this video after listening to the Beam of Light album really makes me appreciate it more. I grew up on old GameMaker games that used those iconic MIDI instruments, and it makes me weirdly nostalgic listening to your musical style!
Holy moly! Your childhood dnd and pennywise comics were so amazing! They have so much personality
I love your work. I always vibed so much with your animations and music. Now I understand why. I'm also a big WEEN fan and a Tom Waits fan (which I saw you reference in that skeleton video.) and as a teen I really wanted to get into animation but never ended up doing it. It's ok though, I have other things going on now and that dream will live on vicariously through your excellent videos.
On another note I'm glad Bigtop is getting one final season. Sounds like the perfect length for this short and comfy show. Can't wait to see how this all comes together and where you go from there! Congrats on 1mil!
I love everything that comes out of this channel with my whole heart, congrats on one million!
2:23 so true.
You are delightful to listen to
I JUST noticed Sungwon works with you omg I really like both your stuff guys
Congrats on the 1m subs! Those donuts look so good!!! I can't wait for season 3 and your music!!! 💚
I love the tone and style of your music. Lo-fi production on purpose, with intention and an AMAZING bass tone. And just awesome hooks. I would have never guessed you were a Ween fan
Awesome q&a Worthi! I loved you talking about your D&D comics and how you and your siblings riffed off of them. I used to do a similar thing with a friend and my sis with Sonic OCs, i have notebooks full of little comic strips we would draw weekly (usually during worship when we should have been listening lol) and we would do "crossover" episodes with each others characters and celebrities and turn them into our own versions. Fun to hear others did the same! Cheers!
CONGRATS ON 1 MILLION!!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!
I PLAY THE CLARINET TOOOOOO!!!!!
The most important thing to playing clarinet is your embouchure! Exercise your face muscles and you'll get clearer notes!
Can't wait to see what's in store!
