Baby Hotline | Crybaby and Toughguy 

*Jack Stauber:* *Skaroy:* stonks

The fact that at first I thought “oh he’s being ghosted”

The song is about calling a suicide hotline because of a broken relationship but this video changes my perspective of it.

Everyone keeps on thinking that when we're watching the younger crybaby that it's a different version of him, but it's actually the beginning of how he dies. When he makes the call, he turns his head to look at some oncoming headlights, and then it cuts to the scene of the car crash, with Crybaby (quite obviously) as a ghost. If you pause, you can see a leg and hand in the corners of the screen. Those are *Crybaby's* limbs. I see theories here about how Toughguy can both see ghosts and how they died, which is wrong. Toughguy can only see ghosts. He's not actually watching Crybaby's death, he's remembering it. He was actually there when Crybaby died, he watched it happen.

When you perform demonic rituals to see your boyfriend on Halloween.

I would literally become a tree to give air to these boys i swear-

"so you're a tough guy" _billie "they call you cry baby" _Melanie *this video*

I remember the first time i saw this i was like: "ooh, romantic and calm, niiice" and then at 0:25 I was like: WaIT wHAT edit: omg i never had so many likes *googles "how to handle fame"*

so he got hit by a car 😞, I think my heart just cracked a little

SO ALL YHE COMMENTS ARE ABOUT THEIR GAY BABIES BUT WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW CRYBABY IS JUST GONE IM S AD

Everybody: “someday I will go back outside”

Oh my god I have a theory. So in the beginning around 0:09 I'm guessing, there was a clock with a heart beat that stops. Which obviously is a sign of death. And later on when crybaby was filling the pay phone while the lyrics said a" hoarder a quarter'' ( 0:16 )the next few frames are multiplied twice. so three of each picture Which I'm guessing is a time slip. A few seconds further when toughguy and crybaby are sitting on the bench laughing crybaby dissapears into a ghastly like figure and under him a picture (pretty sure a picture of him) and the next scene as you see ,is of toughguy walking down a block. ( 0:24 ) Then he pauses and there is other "ghost" around him that pretty sure are dead... Obvi.. and right after he sees another pay phone but then crybaby which know seems to be around 5-8 years old picks up the phone but right after he looks to the right were a light is shown. The next scene is of crybaby crying on the ground but one of Crybaby's eyes seem to be missing and during that I figure of young toughguy offers a hand to him, and behind them was the original toughguy sitting down on a bench. ( 0:34 - 0:38 ) and after all that.everything goes back to normal. So in conclusion crybaby must've died at a young age from a car accident or something and the payphone is a time machine. But since clearly crybaby most of the time seems to be an adult the payphone must also be a multi verse thing. And tough guy keeps getting stuck in the time slips to be with crybaby Thank you for reading if you made it this far :)

I’m watching this from a bathroom in a Halloween party Send help

Your art never fails to amaze me this is amazing its so pleasing to the eye ❤❤ ☆_____________________________☆ Little edit: TYSM THIS MADE MY DAY THIS IS THE MOST LIKES IVE GOTTEN ON ANYTHING ❤😭😭 tysm... ☆_____________________________☆

Crybaby: * exists * *Melanie Martinez entered the chat*

Jack stauber: *breathes* Every animator ever in the history of youtube: *iT's FrEe rEal eStAte*

This is.... AU, right? PLEASE TELL ME THAT HE'S NOT ACTUALLY DEAD

it's interesting on how only one of the ghosts/spirits/ghouls during the "i can tell that your drinking eyes never open" part has eyes and isn't looking at toughguy at all. but on what's in front of them. us.

"I insist somebody will die and I hate hoping" Car: *ight ima head in*

Can I just say that when I look at your older videos and see this one. I love the progress and how your style has changed, you are a blooming flower and I love your videos and characters.

The amount of "aww"'s I let out must've set a world record. *And then I cried*

*My heart stopped when I saw the notification! I missed these two boys so much*

Edit: I meant Crybaby and Toughguy Based off the clock and the animation I kind of made a theory and put together a crap story line 0:00 At first Dario seems not to be expecting the call while Garret almost seems scared that Dario might not pick up so this could mean that this is the first time Garret has tried to contact Dario (this could be backed up by Dario having "???" Show up on his phone in the start). The tears In Garret's eyes make it seem like he has been alone or at lest without Dario for a while hence they are over joyed to see each other after so long, hinting that they may have lost touch. 0:08 The quick section with the heart monitor going flat as the clock hits midnight could be due to after midnight the sun starts to rise and ghost can't be out during the day 0:24 It later switches back to them but the clock is a little passed midnight signifying that it is time for Garret to go and their time together has been used up for the night, kind of like how you use up all our minutes you paid for on a pay phone 0:12 So when it switches to them eating a McDonald's it signifies that there has been a time change because there was no food in the first scene. Then there is the fact that the food portions is for one person and we see Dario eating it while Garret just helps out indicating that for some reason Garret can't physically eat the food (a for shadowing of his death) 0:17 And the next scene seems to support my theory of a time change because it shows Garret paying money to the phone machine multiple times as to speak with Dario (maybe to open some kind of connection) and at a little passed midnight each time, his minutes runs out forcing him to return which is confirmed when we see Garret turn into a spirit/soul and float away at a little passed midnight 0:28 Next we can see Dario walking down a sketchy street when the back drop flashes to what seems to be people who have passed in not so pleasant ways, the neon purple swirls are also linked to ghosts/spirits which conferms the fact that thoes people are dead + Dario is seen to be physically disturbed by this fact, indicating that he involuntarily see these ghost and that doing so bothers him. This is confirmed in the next scene where we see Dario standing to the side as he watches a younger Garret (property around age 5-7) try and ring up some one. 0:35 The next part is pretty self explanatory and gives us some details of how Gerret died via car crash. Then we see a younger Dario help Garret up conferming that Dario can see the dead and when it shifts focus to older Dario we can assume that Dario can not only see dead people but how thoes people died and has likely been able to do so from a young age 0:31 Taking that fact that when Dario saw younger Garret try and call someone his face was blanked out and when the focus shiftes back to older Dario after the back story he had no major expression on his face, we can assume that he doesn't get to control what he sees and has probably seen Garret's death so many times to the point it no longer bothers him 0:42 Lastly the only reason I can think of for Garret to still be "???" on Dario's phone is that Dario saved it that way. + New edit: it’s weird how younger Toughguy is able to easily communicate with Crybaby while the older pair need a sheared physical object (the phones) to jumpstart their together time. This puls the colours being more bold/brighter when they where younger could indicate that communication with the dead is easier when the dead is “fresh” as there may be more of them present(weather it’s their physical body or “fresh” spirit/soul). However this could also mean that as time goes on the dead have less presence (due to bodies being removed, souls/spirits and eroding due to time) making communication difficult. This could be why Toughguy sets up a picture of Crybaby on the bench as to preserve his spirit and keep him around for just a bit longer before they have to let go. At last we get are sweet fluff after this Asia sized piece of angst. Idk how much of this is actually in anyways close to right but meh.

Honestly, Skaroy's skill has improved a lot, I can tell the big change in her illustration and I love that hẻ changes has show pretty clear in her memes/works

I’ve missed your animation memes

I’ve never clicked so fast🥺💖

These are always so adorable

To: Skaroy you might not see this ever, but i would like to thankyou for doing what you do, like creating these characters and their stories, because like everyone else it makes me happy, your videos saved me from depression, because before i came across this channel I was so insecure, i felt ugly, unlovable, and disgusting. i believed that noone would love me so i distanced myself from everyone, even family, and became an outcast. Then youtube suggested your videos and i decided to watch them, then i felt happy and learned self-love. its all because of you. thankyou. Im now sorrounded by wonderful people and im so happy and contented.

Skaroy: Uhm here’s this: Me: My god it’s *sniff* Beautiful

Yo: /recuerdo haber llorado mientras ví el vídeo/ Skaroy: "Esto es un especial de halloween" Yo: Brutal.jpg

Awww so cute! I love your channel!!! 😊

i will never get sick of these two

can garret teach me how to rock dresses the way he does tho? like bruh hE ALWAYS LOOKS SO AMAZING

I'm so glad this is just an au *_but my god it's still adorable_*
