Perception Check - Tom Cardy || Secret Life Animatic 

Pearl: “Mumbo’s dead, we can’t have weekly sessions anymore.” Joel: “Oh.” Joel: “…his body, it’s just…” Joel: *”Lying* there, right?” Bdubs: “Absolutely not”

I love how this implies Gem & the Scotts kidnapped Jimmy from Martyn, then Martyn hired Joel, Bdubs, and Pearl to find Jimmy

Joel is the perfect bard, he’s so silly

Joel insulting someone then jumping into a flute solo sent me

I’ve seen dozens of animatics for this song but this is the first one to make me laugh out loud. This might be the best thing I’ve ever seen. I will now immediately rewatch it five more times

Pffft hahahahah xD xD This is such a Joel energy!!! You nailed it perfectly!!!!!!! This fits him sooo well I laughed out loud, the entire animatic is so funny!

This fits so unbelievably well with Joel I adore this

IM IN ACTIVE TEARS I LOVE THIS SO MUCH IM NORMAL i'M FINE IM SANE I've watched it ten times over now and I'm giggling and kicking my legs

1:07 YES SAUSAGE IS HOLDING SOUP LES GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

is always some rouge and some bard who is source of everyone problem.

I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING HELP-

I LOVE THIS SM 😭

This is so good 😎

I love dnd 😂

Love how everyone is playing different enough characters and joel is just himself so on brand

Huge Joel Energy, I hope he sees it! *NOW, EVERYONE APPRECIATE THE ART*

Can we all acknowledge that Dr. Lizzie being like "He's short. CRINGE." is entirely in character?

This is decidedly the best animatic of this song. It has been declared. Everything. The expressions, the movement, the mounders irl vs their characters, the way each character is so decidedly THEM! Mumbo’s exasperation, Joel being Joel. It’s perfect. You’ve done it.

I think Martyn would forgive Joel for killing Jimmy because the song was good.

Also, I love what Pearl and BDubs are doing. Absolutely distressed as players at their Nat 1 and confuffled at Joel, while the hilarity in the game of Pearl breaking her axe twice and BDubs shooting himself in the foot and Pearl trying to calm him down. Absolutely perfect

My favorite thing about Joel this season is that if he wins, all the animators have to draw his life series merch hoodie which is a steep contrast to pearl’s cloak and martyn’s … coralness?

Joel got those glasses from his Bad Boys days, I'm just saying I love the D&D designs, and the middle part where it goes from, "I rolled a 1" to Pearl and Bdubs being stressed at the table while Jeol just has this smug smile, then in the next, Bdubs is bleeding out and screaming in classic Bdubs fashion and Pearl is desperately trying to help/calm him down

Joel just has that “fuck it we ball” energy almost 24/7 and I love it

The dissapointed faces right as Joel cheeringly goes "LOOT THAT BODY" just makes me cackle so much omg

Joel as an animatic's central character almost never happens, but this shows why it really should

This fits Joel so well! Great idea! And great execution as well. Barbarian pearl and little goblin rouge bdubs are so cool. This is very cool!

A few (many) things I love about this, in no particular order: - The last frame ("Bitch!") Joel's expression cracks me up every time - The frame on "me and my boys gonna mess ya up" their poses look so cool!! It really does look like they're gonna mess ya up - Jimmy is the child (..'s toy) - Pearl's and Bdubs' characters look really different from their actual selves, but Joel's character is just The Cooler Joel - The animation at 0:32 ("and they got to go"), it's super duper smooth - The extreme detail at 0:40 ("I can perceive you") - The pause at 0:51, cutting from cool-pose-Joel to super-bored-Joel - The absolute PERFECT timing at 1:04 , when it cuts to Joel pointing at Jimmy and yelling "Short!" - How absolutely minuscule his tiny little itty bitty body is at 1:17, even when looked at through a magnifying glass - Nat 20s from Joel are always accompanied by him wearing sunglasses all of a sudden - Pushing down his sunglasses at 1:37 ("right?"), looking incredibly smug - Everyone's exhausted faces as Joel loots dat body - The fuckign last frame. it's just so funny i can't help but mention it twice

I know Joel can't react to this because he's technically a pg channel but GOD I hope he sees it on his own time, I truly think he'd love it

The fact that Joel went to loot Timmy's base this episode makes this even more perfect!

I love that fact that joel, as one of the more aggressive players (even though he fails a lot-) , would be a bard which from my little understand of DnD is like the most frugal , fruity, funky, and weak ranks .

I love your Pearl design!! And Mumbo as the DM is just amusing to me (i feel like irl he'd have no idea how to dm). Also Lizzie as the doctor is perfect, I love this animatic so much

I've been waiting for this!! This song fits the mounders so well and of course, of course jimmy is the child 🤣 i love how you fit the characters to this! Great animatic!!

I love this. Its always so nice to see someone animate joel.

You never fail to make diamond level animatics

Mounders as DnD players is genuinely genius and totally in character

I'm not calling Joel short, because he's obviously very tall, BUT I do want to say him wearing heels seems like a very nice touch. I've been watching this on loop. 👁👄👁

I hate that Jimmy can't watch this on stream! But I looooooove that it exists!

This video has been living in my brain rent free for nearly two weeks, and I rewatch it every time when my brain sings it

YESSSSSSSSSSSS IT'S HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Banger as always Nox

How how you interpreted Impulse and Scott’s face paint it looks sick.

The fact that Joel did in fact loot Jimmy (raiding Baxter) just makes this all the more hilarious!

this is the most in character thing i have ever seen for the mounders, together with great amazing art as always. and i swear, i swear tom cardy sounded like joel for a second... maybe i rolled a nat 1 on perception as well huh-

Omg a combination of two of my favourite things and it’s BEAUTIFUL I was like “it’s gonna be Joel right- yeah it’s Joel” “It’s gonna be Jimmy isn’t it- yep that’s Jimmy alright” 12/10

I love this so much! I especially love Pearl's barbarian player design, BDubs failingto hide behind a tree, and Mumbo's exasperated face made me lol.

I love this so much! This is beautiful and the audio is so perfect for them. Really hope Joel or Pearl see this 'cause this this absolutely amazing!

Joel definitely just picked up bard so we can have this spell vicious mockery to bully people

love this so much not only for dnd versions of the mounders which slays so hard btw but for the fervent accuracy to all of them but especially Joel 😭😭😭😭 hes my favorite mc youtuber and this just feels like a love letter to his whole vibe in servers its perfect lmao

I kinda wanna see an au about this, it's really accurate in fun ways. Mumbo being a stressed/confused DM fits too well.

you are CHURNING these out. Absolutely blasting us with QUALITY. I can't wait to see your next ANIMATIC. but make sure you are WELL RESTED and are not OVERWORKING yourself.

My favorite interpretation of this that i just came up with at 9:30pm: Gem and The Scotts kidnapped Jimmy. Martyn lost Jimmy at a concert. The concert was for Gem and The Scotts. The band kidnapped Jimmy at their own concert and Martyn hires some of the most incompetent saviors he possibly could. I fuckin love this video

Absolutely amazing, its perfect

I mean joel is the most likely to cuss out of the secret life members *cough* mcc *cough*

Of course, Joel actually *DID* go and raid Jimmy's chests as soon as he was dead. So this was on brand.

THIS IS INCREDIBLE, I'M OBSESSED WITH THIS VERSION AND THIS JOEL This fits him so well Poor jimmy Also mounders playing dnd is the best thing ever, I love it!!

OH MY GOSH INCREDIBLE HFDJKFHDJKFJDKL

Man I wish I can infinitely like this you have no idea how many times I will rewatch this lmaoo

Good god, this is not a crossover that I was expecting but that makes it SO much better!!

Yoooo, LETS GOOOOOO, this is probably my new favorite animatic. Perfectly accurate (also soup represent)

Who are the the 2 other clocked figures besides Jimmy and Impulse? Awesome animation btw!

Oh my gosh you don’t understand how much I love this. Joel as the bard is so incredibly perfect in every way 😭😭😭 love dm mumbo. Also joel would be like “My bad guys. But in my defense. It was kinda funny”

This song is so joel-coded its hilarious XD fantastic visuals, absolutley slaps

Joel is such a vibe and this fits him perfectly, I've been coming back to this video several times because I love the designs and the ending always makes me think "yup he would totally do this"

This is like having 2 groups of friends meet up for the first time, a real clashing of worlds. Never thought I'd see this song mixed with these characters, but here we are. Thank you for this, loved it!

Joel was Joeling the most Joel he ever Joeled.

PEARL AS A BARBARIAN THOO >>>> THE DESIGN IS SO PRETTYYY❤❤

I've never seen anything more in character for Joel Smallishbeans! Poor mumbo lol

We love Joel being unhinged :]

Absolutely perfect characterisation of Joel and I love Tom Cardy too.

I keep hearing "there's no escaping it" as "so skibidi" help 😭

Breaking news: Joel roasts Jimmy so hard he f*cking dies-

Mounder's DND group is just fantastic. of course Joel is the bard and of course the child is Jimmy.

Going into this I fully expected Bdubs to be the child but the fact that he's the guy who tried to hide behind twig is so much better

I CANT BREATHE THIS IS PURE GOLD OMG 10/10 will watch 100 times

Holy shit that works so well, this is so amazing!

WHAT A COMBO XD, I love Tom Cardy and I love these life series Animadics!

I have watched this so many times now, and have just noticed that during the "look how fucking short that guy is" section Jimmy's surrounded by Empires S2 members - fantastic call back to the sheriff *chefs kiss*

Having this come put right after the Bang! Animatic is legendary, this was genuinely so funny. Too bad Tim won't be reacting to it on stream lmao

epic animatic as always nox!

absolutely amazing, I love this so much

The frame on 0:47 is a mood

pearl as a barbarian, bdubs the rogue, and joel the bard. yea this makes sense

THIS IS SO AWESOME ITS SO IN CHARACTER

OH. My god. This is so good!!!! Love it hahahaha!!!! I love this song and combining it with SECRET LIFE? Beautiful :3

Oh my god I love this fandom so much

Dude this is such joel bdubds and pearl energy what. I can see them playing DND so clearly lmao

I love this so much

I'M LAUGHING SO MUCH THIS IS AMAZING- SOMEHOW THIS FITS THEM SO WELL

Omg been WAITING to see our faves with this song... THANK YOU!! Joel HILARIOUS, BDubs cryin', JimmyBigDog "woof" as the kid = Awesome 😎

This video is hilarious, ive watched like 30 times

The people you chose for each role fit so well lol

This is actually amazing well done, i personally loved joel being the main character and he probably swears the most out of every1 on the life series 🤦‍♀️

100% perfect. This captures Joel so well and I can’t stop watching it. My favourite animatic so far (Who doesn’t like watching Joel be a menace to society?)

i hereby declare this the most joel-coded video that ever existed (no but seriously ever detail is TOO ACCURATE) the mounders having a dnd group!!!! the child being jimmy!! I love this so much

this is absolutely amazing!

I can't explain how much I love this it is so far my favorite secret life animation I can't get enough of it I'm gonna watch this instead of this weeks episode because I'm scared

Love it! I'm surprised Bdubs wasn't chosen to be the short kid, but I guess the Canary Curse is stronger than BDubs short jokes.

I'M CRYINNGG THIS FITS THEM SO WELL Also I thought that the kid would turn out to be Hermes, but I guess it would be too much .D

This is a masterpiece, absolutely godly art. Can't believe how quickly you finished it too goddamn.

I love this, especially Bdubs rogue design cause it fits him so perfectly

awh now i want a hermitcraft/empires/life dnd game imagine the chaos
