a word from a bug 

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 ❤

mr mcgrub is way more bold than me if he's just casually sitting on the edge of the void fishing

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

bug

Not the fishing rod floating away😭😭 he’s so chill about it all but it made me a wee bit sad

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

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

I’m quarantining with Covid right now, and I didn’t know that I needed some encouragement from a bug so badly. Thank you :)

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.

Very friend shaped bug.

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

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:

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!

thank you mcgrub. it’s nice to know there are Mister Rogers among bugkind, too

I need more wholesome bug pep talks in my life.

i literally just want to hug him until both of us are feeling better

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!

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

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.

I love this little bug guy!!!!!!!! He's so charming!!!!!

The internet respectfully asks for more bug

Thank you, Mr. McGrub, for these wise words. Have a good time

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

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!

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!!!!!

this is the brand of comfort I didn’t know existed. thank you dearly for making this 😭

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!

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

"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.

words cannot describe how much i love this

If this was a teaser for a series, I would definitely watch it.

You kidding me? You DO got the accent! And that bug just made my day. Thanks~ ^^

The british bug parent figure you never had as a child 😔

thank you Horatio, your kind words are deeply appreciated

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.

What a wholesome bug in a rug. 💖

Absolutely delightful! And just what I needed today ❤

This is... oddly beautiful. Thank you, Mr. McGrub.

More of this please.

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

This is such a charming little animation. Reminds me of old stop motion films

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!!!

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.

this made me cry, i think its very comforting. i'd like to see more of mr mcgrub!!

Mr. McGrubbins is so stinking cute

This is the definition of charming but a little (just a touch) unhinged. It's more comfortable that way, I think.

Mr. McGrub has a wonderful soothing voice and i'm forever grateful for his words of support

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.

You nailed the voice he seems so well intentioned and kind despite it all he’s lovely

i LOVE this so much

GIVE THAT POOR BUG A HOUSE EXPANSION PLEASE 😭😭

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!😊

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 was actually really sweet. Reminds me a little of Boggle the Owl. People can use messages like Mr. McGrubins' these days.

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

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

It reminds me of some old cartoons on vhs or sm, the audio is so comforting in a way idk the lighting, the desing, the audio being kinda muffled.🧡

You know what? If anything this was too short. I would gladly keep Mr Mcgrubbins company and listen to him ramble on for hours. I’ll even bring the biscuits. 😊

Wasn't expecting to cry over a bug today... this was so lovely and just what I needed

I will love McGrub for the rest of my existence. So wholesome and heartwarming! ❤

This is, and will always be, the most comforting piece of media i have ever seen.

I love you, little bug. 🥺

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

Thank you. I needed something like this. My cat went missing yesterday and might not come back.

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

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

This was so warm and gentle. And the voice acting and voice over was wonderful! Thank you for this short but sweet moment.🌷

Great program, thank you mr Grub! Would love to tune in for more!

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 😊

Adding this to my playlist of ✨️werid interesting videos✨️

Honestly you still did pretty well on acting an accent, I definitely see the attempt of the whole sing-songy accent you'll see in Ireland (republic, not northern.) However thought it was funny to also see the breathiness you'd see in Scotland. Honestly the part that surprises me most is that you managed to speak in a lower town of voice, meanwhile most (unprofessional) people acting an accent would talk far too loudly, which if you're talking Scottish or Northern Ireland, it might not be that noticeable, but it's DEFINITELY noticeable for Republic of Ireland. So kudos to you for that! Don't really see too many people who are able to soften it down and make it sound right.

I am personally making a petition for someone to deliver books to Mr. McGrubins weekly he deserves the best!

this has such cozy vibes, and the voice acting really suits the character!! you really nailed it :DD

I can't believe THE Horatio McGrubins just gave ME a pep talk. I'm the luckiest bug in the world 🖤🐞

This is fantastic! The animation, the filter. The vibes are so calming, and the message so lovely. I hope this reaches more people!

This is the absolute perfect balance of strange but comforting. Incredibly well done!

Why does the bug look so 😍 😊❤🎉😍🥰☺😇

I love this, please, I want to see more of this supportive little bug friend, he’s the best

This is the best thing I've been recommended this year. The animation and voice acting are so good, love the message =)

This is so sweet!! Like lots of other people have already said, the art and voice and message are wonderful. Thank you for putting this out into the world 🩵🩵

This is such a beautiful and relaxing animation. I hope more people get to see your work.

I’m going through a hard time and I really needed a stop motion style animated bug to tell me that people care about me and that I’m strong for getting back up. Amazing work you should be proud of this animation!

: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)

This is so wonderful! I love the little world and animation style. And I really needed to hear those kind words -- and I didn't realize it until I stumbled across such a friendly bug. thank you so much for making this -- you've really brightened my day. :]

I thought it would be some SURREAL HORROR from 13-16 years ago,when it was actually just a fairly calming vid that was uploaded yesterday. What a time capsule it would become.

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 (:

Loved every second. It emits warm welcomes and the style and tone match beautifully.

please do more of this bug he warms my heart this is wonderfully done!!
