I love all the hesitation. First the ten-odd seconds of Justin sighing as he tries to think of something, and then the halting jankiness to the music as it starts and stops with him when he hesitates after he actually starts singing
It just occurred to me how stunningly good Griffin actually IS at improvising lyrics. You see Justin struggling to come up with these lyrics even before bombing with 'brown', and I'd say Justin is probably about average in his attempt. But then Griffin just comes out of the gate IMMEDIATELY with lyrics dumping on specifically how Justin fumbled.
It relates to their brains processing speed. Having a high processing speed is essential for live comedy. Griffin has the fastest out of them, and it reflects in a lot of what he does and says.
Justin is above average? I have no experience in comedy/improv and having done a few attempts just now I think I'm par with or just succeeding Griffin. Mind you, I wrote a lot of poetry as a kid so maybe I can only do rhyming/rhythm based improv
i cannot IMAGINE how disappointed you would have been 4 years ago with a glimpse of the future griffin's "screamy creamy feet" rap for their wonka movie bit.
mood: the small moment of silence at around 0:15 where griffin realizes a) he is extremely good at making ice cream lyrics and b) he physically cannot stop now
in order to animate justin-heavy bits you need two skills: drawing people trying and failing to come up with something to say, and drawing people absolutely losing it at their own jokes
You know for the longest time I was always the only kid who liked brown... but seeing Justin like it too... feels great to see somebody else enjoying the creamy goodness of brown flavor.
you can eat it in a cone you can eat it with your hands its a frozen tasty treat come and buy it from my van but it gets real gross and sticky when you put it in the heat so be extra extra careful not to get it on your feet
I have cream proof shoes So I don't mind if I do Have some cream from your van In this melty summer land But before I make my purchase there is one thing I must know Do you serve the flavor brown If not I fear I must go It's not chocolate It's not fudgy It's not mud And it's not poo Do you have the flavor brown? Please god tell me that you do
I am sorry my good sir, but we just ran out of brown. I hope that you're not blue, No, I hope you don't feel down. We will prob'ly get more soon, but for now, want something else? I can offer you a spoon, into these flavors we can delve. My good man we've got chocolate, strawberry and cookie dough chocolate mint, rocky road, not an ounce of brown left, though. Oh now you're making quite the fuss, my good sir, please stay calm. Sorry there's no brown left here, but the police I'm gonna call.
The flavor brown is what I dream of In my bed every night The flavor is just perfect Yes the flavor is just right When I eat brown ice cream I am filled with joy it's better than the beach and all of the beach toys while you play I will lay, in the sun, in the sand alone but happy with my ice cream in hand Now it's sticky, super icky 'cause it melted everywhere And my whole day is ruined But man, who cares?
Wow step up your game, I personally would never get to a point where I couldn't chew a peach, in fact, I'd go so far as to say I could eat a peach for HOURS...
The look of absolute suppressed panic on juice's face when he's first trying to come up with ice cream song is conveyed so amazingly even though its such a simple expression i am constantly amazed by your work dear louie
Griffin's ability to instantly come up with lyrics that actually rhyme AND sorta make sense impresses and intimidates me, like are we SURE he's human???
(this was mostly self satisfying) Griffin: But I would write sort of ice cream themed lyrics, like.. 🎶 Do you want ice cream? It's a creamy, creamy treat. It's so creamy soft, it's so creamy sweet! We got 'Itzakadoozie's, we got 'Push Pops', too. Come get your ice cream, don't go to school! 🎶 Travis: Okay.. Griffin: ...🎶 Co- Travis: Wh- Alright.. Griffin: Co-.. 🎶 Come and get your ice cream, eat it with your friends! When you eat ice cream, the cream never ends! Come and get all the ice cream that we have in our truck; you are gonna love it now, you are... you're gonna love this truck! 🎶 (Justin stifles laughter) Travis: Okay.. Justin: Okay.. just kind of.. just rhymes with truck.. Griffin: Um.. you could also sing- it's really fun to make up ice cream lyrics. Have you guys ever tried? To make up ice cream lyrics to- Travis: No! Griffin: -"Do Your Ears Hang Low?" Uh, Juice, you wanna try to make up ice cream lyrics? Justin: Uh, yeah, I'd love to do that.. Griffin: Do a ice cream song. To "Do Your Ears Hang Low". Justin: ...Um.. Y-... Ch-.. 🎶 Do you want some cream? Yes, it's.. dreamy, screamy, cream. In a chocolate.. flavor or vanilla bean! Or pistachio is good!.. But not as good as brown- 🎶 (laughing) we- Travis: Brown?? That classic ice cream flavor "brown"?? (Travis laughing) Griffin: 🎶 Do you want ice cream before you even ask? Yes, they do have brown, and it takes you to task! It's the tastiest flavor, it's a color- it is, too! And come get your brown stuff- come on doodle doo! 🎶 (Justin wheezing with laughter) Travis: "Do you have brown?" Sorry, we're all sold out. "NoOoO!"
Thank you so so so much. I sing the first bit when my girlfriend and I buy ice cream and it always unsettles her that I know even that but next time I hope to have the full arrangement. You've made that goal attainable.
This is the only animation I’ve ever seen of the ice-cream song which makes me think this is almost certainly the one Justin said Charlie loves to watch with him.
Sami Rust It’s made as a storyboard, so it’s not as time consuming than actually redrawing and colouring every frame, plus it has way less frames to begin with. The whole thing doesn’t have like a whole studio’s worth in animating it. That’s why, so yeah.
I have watched this upwards of 15 times in the last day because i love it so much. Griff singing is just so adorable and your animation style makes it even more so. Not to mention that the animation is just phenominal. The but where griff flies over the bowl of ice cream has me pausing and rewinding the video to watch how smooth and amazing the animation is and the icredible sense of depth you managed to give that bit. Keep on making animations you wonderful mbmbambino
This has remained a comfort video for tough times since it came out. Louie Zong, I dunno if you check comments on your old stuff, but your journey makes me happy every time I see it updated, and you are an inspiration to me, every time ❤️ Thank you for you! 🍨 Sorry, out of Brown.
I love this video so much. It was the only video related to mbmbam I could show to my little sister. She howled with laughter over this song. She has a chronic illness and often was in the hospital. When I couldn't be there in person with her, I'd sing this over and over again for her. Yes, I'd do all the parts.
This really captures Griffin's chaotic, malevolent playfulness. Sometimes I feel like this show is about two brothers trapped in a studio with an evil genie.
One of my favorite parts of this is the way Griffin goes up in key each time he sings a new chorus, as if these are different stanzas of the same set of lyrics
Get some ice cream, come get it while it's cold You could be a kid or a billion years old I deliver ice cream all across this town Come get some ice cream, and yes we have brown!
Coming back to this 5+ years later because the brothers sang some of this on a Victory McElroyale stream and also said all their children are obsessed with this specific video
This was my first ever McElroy experience My second was clown box when my friend forceably shoved me into MBMBAM But thank you for this first experience
"Come and get some ice cream; You're gonna jump for joy! When you'll taste its sweetness you'll wanna kiss a boy" Is what I constructed right before I realized I should never make songs
After watching their recent Lethal Company stream (Victory McElroyale: Lethal Company, 32:12) where Griffin and Travis end up singing Justin's song, this was a perfect animation to come back to
The absolute, cosmic, anticipating sense of dread that was forced through my body the second Justin said "Uh yea I'd love to do that" is honestly something I don't think putting a gun to my non-existent childrens' heads could rival
Im in michigan and some trucks play different songs like do your ears hang low or frere Jacque, but the most common one is this weird music box thing that says hello /watch?v=vVO865EWZFw
these are the most accurate animatics for the mcelroy brothers i'm so happy griffin's amazing faces? canon justin's reactions he makes during pauses/while giggling? canon travis being the human embodiment of a golden retriever in all of your animatics? canon af
