The Life ( and death ) of Brian - The Adventure Zone 

I won't lie, every time I listen to the podcast I always imagine your designs and your soundtrack. It's a little irritating, actually! Like, I just got to this scene, and I'm like "where's the music"? You've spoiled me :)

i’m convinced that griffin decided to use the Magic Brian voice only a split second before he opened his mouth and he originally intended to have them both sound the same, but realized it would be WAY funnier if the disguise was really shitty 😂

"but which was the *real* gundam?" - travis' underappreciated bit

Just imagine your final words are met with nothing but hysterical laughter. This comment made by the Magic Brian gang

The head pats at "he's a bad boy" killed me

RIP Magic Brian :( He died as he lived: with a ridiculous German accent.

When Travis said "is it possible" it sounded just like when he started the mango cult.

I like how easily Clint is given to joy. He literally laughs at every single joke anyone attempts to make during this whole series

Oh noooooooo! The mystery is solved! You’ve solved my final riddle, you are ze new riddle master... Congratulations… You have proven yourselves... quite the adventurers... oh, I’ve landed on Bryan- Bryan, ahhh… Bryan, I’m so proud of zem… I’m going to die now... My life is flagging from my body... I’ll see my family... goodbye cruel worrrrld-

Imagine if he actually cursed rockseeker with a voice modifier

I liked at the end of the video Gundren just has his face in his hands like, why? As he reavaluates his lifes choices and the reality that he was saved by three idiots had just reached him.

all that laughing was in-game and i refuse to believe otherwise

I've started quoting 'I'm going to die now' in that voice when I'm gonna die in vidya games and shit

Im so glad Magic Brian's beautiful death scene was immortalized in this amazing animation

I died when "Arms of an Angel" started playing 😂 This was a beautiful and wonderful animation with one of my favorite TAZ moments and I can't wait to see more!

BRIAN WITH THE OSCAR AT 3:00 AAAA

Rip in peace Brian

i think that your black spider is actually the best one ive seen in design and expressions and just the way you draw him really, really good

confession; I don't even watch TAZ(at least not yet), so i have no idea on what's happening, but this alone boosts my motivation to watch TAZ by 90% because the mix of the expressions and poses with the audio is amazing and my sides actually hurt

I continue to love your art style. Brian lightly slapping Gundren for being a bad boy was my favourite part of this :D

0:27 Love that Taako has to lift up Merle just so he can be in the shot.

all of this is fucking gold, but magnus's eyes when he went, "but how do we tell them apart!" had me wheezing

To think we came from scenes like this to Johann's message. Christ, Balance will forever be a triumph of collaborative storytelling.

Your art and designs are what I think of when I listen to the adventure zone

I've heard this clips so many times, just from relistening to the episode and watching other animatics, but this still manages to make me laugh, especially with how you brought this to life with your animation (not to mention the truly inspired music choices!)

Ironically, if they did end up killing the real Gundran just for the sake of the joke, a lot of people would still be alive.

1:35 I love how you can hear his smirk.

Easily one of the most classic TAZ moments by easily one of the best TAZ animators

omg i cried laughing at the 'arms of an angel' part, i love seeing your animatics! such great expressions !!!

I love this I also love how he says "I'm so proud of them" so emotionally and it just shows them cracking up idk why but that's my favourite scene keep it up

"How deep is that pit?" Gets me every time

THE WAY HE FLUNG INTO THE PIT WITHOUT ANYTHING TOUCHING HIM DKSJJSHDHHSH

That scene never gets old. Definitely top.

Nothing will ever be funnier than Magic Brian's death scene. The first time I heard it I laughed so hard I cried uncontrollably. I just went looking for it again because I needed a little Spider Bryan bump.

This is so amazing. The character designs, the posing, the expressions, the shot compositions--all incredible. Also, the scene is funny as all hell. Fun fact: when I started listening to TAZ Balance, I listened to it while working out. This scene left me utterly incapacitated, dying laughing while laying on a bench trying to do crunches. My workout ground to a halt for a solid 10-15 minutes and I got a lot of weird looks. Had to stop listening to Balance while working out after that. Anyway, amazing work!

I love how everyone is just laughing hysterically the entire time

I love the JoJo reference with the "to be continued"

This was already amazingly animated, and then Arms of the Angel kicked in and I absolutely LOST IT. Oh my god, you're AMAZING

We need more Brians and Bryans in this world.

I love that Griffin says “that was primo” but like that was all him so he’s just complimenting himself lol

Really great takes on the designs and expressions. I always return to this scene every now and then, it never fails to crack me up.

I love all your animatics, and I loved this one, too. Your designs are all so good!!!!! Your Magnus is so pure, such a good boi, my favorite Magnus, and your Taako is immediately identifiable and perfect. Your Merle looks squishy, like a Merle should, and I love all of your designs!

Well...it's official. Thanks to you, I have no choice but to listen to this podcast.

Once again hun you have outdone yourself. Truely the TAZ animatic queen

I watched this in my office and had to bite my arm really hard to not just burst out laughing. And then I watched it again because it's perfect and had to bite my arm again.

I just started listening to TAZ and finished ep 4 five minutes ago. This could not have come out at a better time. Absolutely hilarious

Of course Brian dies ... He has the side ponytail!!

the pause and fall just made me think point and click adventures XD

This was, the animatic that got me into TAZ. Still just as hysterical years later. Thank you for this gift to humanity.

I have genuinly heard or seen nothing about this but now im intrigued

this is my favorite animatic in the history of ever

Your art style is delightful!! I especially love Taako!

The part where he says “oh I landed on Bryan” kills me every time TAZ is the freaking best

I’m on my third relisten of the series and so obviously I’m back here AGAIN because DAMN this one just goes so hard, I want a whole show in this style so bad

It's been over a year since the graphic novel came out, but these are still my favourite designs and this animatic is among the most amazing.

Definitely my favourite TAZ art! Oh man so good

The moment that song started up I felt so bad for laughing so damn hard

Out of every TAZ fan animation I've seen, I feel like yours is the most accurate depiction of the characters.

Gotta have that to be continued JOJO REF. GOOD SHIT! Besides that, great as always! I liked the personality you gave to the disguised-as-Gundren Magic Brian as he was talking.

Timeless. The buildup will never get old

I love that you add the ooc laughter as the character laughter, I LOOOOOVE your character designs and movement/framing/etc choices, I LOVE THAT YOU ADDED ARMS OF THE ANGELS!!! Easily one of my fave animatics, this one~~

I JUST REWATCHED THIS, AND WHEN I HEARD THE ADVENTURE ZONE THEME I ALMOST CRIED

I really like how you drew them when they were getting out of the pit!

I NEVER WATCHED THE CREDITS IM SO PROUD OF HIS OSCARR

This bit is what me fall in love with TAZ

holy shit man that was truly fucking incredible. this is absolutely my favorite scene in TAZ and this is by far my favorite animation of it.

dude you're like my favourite artist for taz animations! I love your character designs so much, everytime I see your stuff I watch them on repeat and can't stop smiling. This was one of my fav scenes too!

Yo, I’m kinda sad that I didn’t play The Black Spider as a flamboyant German drow when I played Lost Mines.

Oh my god make a million more of these! Yours are some of my favorite Adventure Zone animatics I love it so much.

10/10 as usual with your animatics. XD i nearly died laughing at the expressions.

It’s in the middle in the night and I was already laughing my ass off but when the song „In the arms of an Angel“ appeared I had to suppress my laughter and now my cheeks hurt

this was my favorite moment in the adventure zone and to see it animated like this is wonderful! like you're art style is great and just ugh i love it. also adding in arms of an angel was genius. this is probably my new favorite thing.

I could be because I’m pregnant, or it could be be the added music, but I just cried over the death of Magic Brian. Rip my bad boy with sinister magic’s, you will be missed.

This scene had me dying, and I love your designs and how extra you portrayed magic Brian, it was great! Plus quality memes ;D It's also hard for me to tell who's doing what sometimes since I'm not used to listening to podcasts, so this helped a great deal!

I love your designs for THB so much!

I watch this when I feel sad and it always makes me feel at least a little better, usually it makes me bust a gut laughing

This is my favorite animatic portraying this scene by far

Don’t forget he came back in the crystal kingdome

I adore your art! The added touch of taako picking Merle up by the back of his shirt so he could be in the waist-up shot hath slain me. Primo work my dude!

I remember laughing uncontrollably when I first listened to this episode. I think this was the part when I knew taz was gonna become my favorite podcast ever.

Any time I want to get a friend into TAZ, I'll just show them this video. Thank you so much for creating this scene. Your art is wondrous and I can't wait for more! ^u^

I’m gonna cri. This is amazing

I watched this because it was a suggested video, it's what got me into the Adventure Zone and MbMbam. Thank you for making it.

I'M DEADDDDDDD LMAO you're the best at making those!

I revisit this video when I need to smile and it never fails. It's the "he's a bad boy" for me.

You have no idea how often I've watched this. It makes me so so so happy.

Im so glad some one did this scene justice! I tried but this has much more talent behind it. Amazing job!

“HOW do we tell them apart?!” 😂🤣

Every once in a while I come back to this video and I cry actual tears because it's so fucking funny

I only discovered TAZ late last year, but this scene is the one that really, REALLY sold me on this (up to that point) Silly and ridiculous podcast, and on the McElroys and Griffin especially.

This just has such mbmbam energy, like Griffin completely deadpan doing a bit while his family wheezes with laughter is my favourite song

My God it was watching this clip that made me decide to finally listen to TAZ. NO REGRETS!! Love your work, dude!!

this is INCREDIBLE i absolutely love your character designs for them and i can't wait to see more!! you are so special and talented and i thank you very much for sharing your creations with the world

Thank you so much for animating that scene! It's one of my favorites of the show! That music in the end was a wonderful, snarkly touch too. :)

Your design for these characters is my favorite out of everyone's.

This is the best thing I've ever seen lmao god I love how you draw all the characters!

I still watch this when I'm feeling down. Amazing every time.

"In the arms of the angels" KILLED me, dude XD

this is incredible man. very clean, pretty damn smooth, hella designs. magnus is such a Big Boy

This is still my favourite part of taz e ve r
