"I'm not advocating that you put a pig down..."
*Proceeds to put down the whole ass farm*
The sty is straight up empty
Let's make some bacon
E
Feed the pigs to the pigs
Made enough bacon to feed a diner at breakfast.
This subplot gets bonus points because Solace used to be a totally independent Halfling nation until humans came in and colonized the fuck out of it
Yeah, I love how it makes even more sense that the halflings are anarchist freedom fighters
Damn I never realized that
When do we find this tidbit out? Because that's incredible.
@@SeedlessProductions I can’t remember which episode but it was the one where the harvestmen are first mentioned I’m guessing Ep9? It was mentioned how it was originally halfling nation then colonised by the humans and then became the mixed species/race nation state it is now.
Also: wouldn’t it be extra dangerous for halfling farmers to grow a crop as tall as corn? Now I’m just picturing cornfields deliberately planted as barriers between halfling communities.
But y’know, Praise Helio I guess.
“We’re law abiding citizens”
Couple episodes later..
*the cubby’s and their fellow resistance fighters break the bad kids out of jail and shoot up the police station*
"I'm not advocating that you put a pig down"
"Wanna make some bacon?"
Look, they have a right to form a well regulated militia to battle against tyranny. Foreign or domestic.
@@internetfriend6701 making bacon yourself is not advocating that other do it. They never advocated for others to do it. Just them.
I’m fully for the idea that the other halflings in ski masks were actually the Cubby’s kids repelling in and fighting
@@james_no_last_name I never imagined that scene any different from that
“I’ll be fucking dead in the ground before I say something to anybody”
This family is immediately ride or die for these kids and I love it
Human lives are too precious to give up to the authorities.
@@ldobehardcore 1 human, 1 half/full (not sure) orc, 1 full (high?) Elf, 1 half elf, 1 telling, 1 goblin... not a lot of human lives lol
Ride or Die is definitely traditional halfling values.
Like your cousin's cousin you sometimes smoke weed with gets stuck with a cursed ring his uncle stole, so you, your cousin, your cousin's cousin and your cousin's cousin's uncle's gardner's son ...
Well to make a long story short, shit goes down, trees walk, buildings explode, and the gardner's son stabs a bunch of people and also a spider.

The power behind Bud Cubby's quiet disdain when he finds out Riz's mom is A Cop.
It's like, "I did admit there are a few good apples, but all the same, there's now a great big wall between us, kiddo."
Alright, well, you know…
"Well, y'know, sometimes we have to come to terms with our loved ones not being the best of folks, and just, y'know, keep in mind that forgiveness comes secondary to justice."

Wonderful Communism pushed through a game of D&D. I wonder what the demographic is for the crowd that would watch a show like this? Colledge age I assume. By the comments alone it seems there are plenty of you brainwashed Marxists to go around. I have a question for you Commies, do you ever get tired of playing the victim?
@@taddhawker7741 someone got really butthurt about a make believe world
schmidt I'm as about as butt hurt as anyone who wants to play a game of d&d and not being forced to identify my or anyones gender or brand of politics in a make believe world. You seem to think that everyone should not care if someone plays a game of d&d that particular way. Your next comment would probably be don't watch then. I happen to like d&d I've played since 2nd edition and I've never seen such madness (until now), of wanting to play characters based on politics and gender dysphoria.
@Tadd Hawker I definitely wouldn't want to play any of the campaigns you've played then lol. Must be boring as fuck to play a campaign where you don't include any philosophical, economical, theological, or political themes etc. Some of the best campaigns I've played in have had multiple radically different kingdoms directly opposed to each other in every way filled with philosophical, theological, and political themes. Causing the players to constantly look at things from different perspectives to see the good and bad in everything. They've been the most interesting campaigns I've played in. And what's wrong in wanting to have characters based around politics or gender? Hell that sounds like potentially awesome characters. It could lead to interesting conflict between characters and npc's and could potentially lead to interesting character growth depending on the direction the character goes. D&D is a fantasy game where you can be anyone and do anything and yet here you are saying people can't be anyone or do anything because you disagree with that thing. You are a closed minded person and should really work on fixing yourself.
People being like "This is weirdly relevant now, so surprising"
It was always relevant. Brennan was simply ahead of you on the curve.
He's awake and he's not going back to sleep
I guess has there been a new wave of radicalization with the BLM protests and things? I remember for me it was 2016, I still feel like a baby leftie but hey, it’s cool to see more people becoming aware of these things.
Personally I worry that our trend will go less anarcho-socialist and more progress liberal/social Democratic because that’s what happens a lot of time, but hey. Shoutout to all my far left homies.
@@code8825 hell to the fucking yes, my comrade
This will never not be relevant. Especially given how frequently cops murder innocent people. As of writing this, another police murder was just ruled as ‘accidental’ and protests are really kicking up.
Yea, the way police function in America has been an issue since the very beginning, it's just that it's become more obvious where the cracks are and how shoddy the construction is

Uhh...
Do you not know how anarchism works?
@@commanderfoxtrot we make him president so he can officially dismantle the government from the inside.
And screw over other countries too, I guess.
@@agentjj1237 the Robert Evans method, I see.
@@agentjj1237 Bud isn't just an anarchist. There is a socialist in there too. he simply believes that the way that laws are enacted heavily favors the most powerful group of people in a given nation. However, if Elmville really runs how America does then the most powerful group doesn't actually represent the majority. Instead, it is the indecently rich capitalists that control our laws and therefore our armies. AKA an oligarchy. Bud just wants to bring down the oligarchy and replace it with a government that actually represents the needs of its citizens.

"All laws are just structured threats"
Brennan Lee muligan 2019
wheres the lie
@@jjjx32 none here
While this is true, what is the inherent problem in that? Laws without the threat of force behind them are meaningless, and without law, society breaks down
@@amberbee1053 oh I’m not saying that America’s system is perfect, far from it. I absolutely support reforming how we treat criminals, because a revolving door on a prison is *not* a good thing. But all laws need to be backed by the threat of force, or they will be ignored.
@@olorinmagus4479 There's something to be said about the legitimacy and authority of laws: laws that one follows almost naturally, and laws that one follows purely because of the threat of punishment. Both types of law exist within any legal system. This comes up in a lot of legal philosophy, and I remember none of the book titles I read them from. So... yeah lol
Absolutely fantastic character creation by Brennan. And this was like, very on the fly if I remember correctly. So amazing
They are like the most awesome characters ever

Brendon mulligan going off on politics and anarchial direct action using the medium of D&D is the funniest damn thing
I think it's brilliant!
The Cubbys may just be my favourite npcs of all time. Of. All. Time.
Sarah Clay Arthur Aguefort is number 1 for me but the cubbys are very close
Personally, I'm more of a Jawbone fan. But the Cubbys? Definitely my number two.
I must say, Gilear and Jawbone are definitely my favorites
Not even gonna lie. The Cubbys are how I became a leftist.
No bad way or bad time comrade
love that for you
I ship that
The thing that radicalized me was that song from that Warframe expansion with the robot people debt slaves.
Basically straight shot from there to actual leftist music to fucking Kropotkin
Only good commie is a dead commie
As an Asian-American, the comment about Model Minority thing hit different ;-; Amazing worldbuilding, my guy.
:)
when you realize the model minority is legit the defense mechanism so many use to justify their own existence so some coked out piece of shit doesn't shoot them in the face or mistake what is a 13 year old kid as an adult and waste them. This is America, don't catch you tripping up...
I like how Emily completely proves the point by saying “It doesn’t sound like this is something someone who looks like you should say” immediately after. And I’m honestly not sure if she got that or not when she said it. She’s pretty quick though so maybe she asked it as an extension of Brennans joke but it didn’t seem like it.
Fuck, as a white dude didn't quite get this till just now. Omg lol
"That was lit this whole time?!"
"THE WHOLE TIME, KIDDO!"
It's really hard to chose, but I think that may be my favorite part
YOU'RE SO BRAVE!!!
LET'S MAKE SOME F*CKING BACON!!
"The Hangman already explained everything to us."
Bud Cubby fuckin' rules.
Brennan's genius in story telling and quote selection with the line "I'm not advocating that you put a pig down" is memorable alone so that as a viewer you don't forget it and then later adding the "You guys want to make some bacon" is genius writing.
I love how revealing having friendly radical anarcho-socialist NPCs was regarding the actual players politics here, you can see who gets it right away and who has trouble seeing things from that perspective. Brennan pushing those buttons at the right pace while being hilarious is damn impressive.
I know Murph is the most hesitant to side with the Cubby's, but I really just think that's good roleplay on his part. Riz was raised by cops, and has spent his entire life wanting to be like his parents. it would be extremely out of character for him to act otherwise
@AliceVie I mean Fig’s whole life was recently turned upside down but she was used to a pretty suburban privileged life before. She wants people to see her as tough and aloof but clearly is still a softie and grew up privileged. Ofc she finds the people trying to burn down the status quo off-putting. For most of her life she *was* the status quo.
@AliceVie I don't think so, to be honest. If there's one thing I remember about Fig, it's that she is paranoid as shit. She questions everything and everyone at least once.
@AliceVie As someone who’s done political agitation with a couple punk witches who grew up upper-middle class and got disowned by their parents, I related super hard to Fig rolling to see if they were secret demons
@AliceVie especially since there was literally an anarchist symbol on her door in episode 1 art.
Friendly reminder that, since the hangman only speaks infernal, the cubbys do too. I don't think they teach it at mumple lmao. True chaotic family
Well to be honest I’d doubt they’d teach Anarchist literature at Mumple too, they do their own study too
wait, *are* they demons?
Gotta love the time when Brennans love for philosophy meets his quick wit and improv skills. This man is what I wanna grow up to be xDD
Yes the *one* time
I'm 100% ride or die for the Cubbys
I love to imagine these tiny Halfling children in ski masks with full rifles, just fully heisting with their parents
Teach em young
I try not to steal from other DMs I see online... But friendly anarcho-socialist halflings are something I need to incorporate into my game at the soonest earliest convenience.
One of the beautiful things about D&D is that we can insert ideas, characters, plots, etc into our games *by design* and as *norm* within the community. It's false to think of inserting things like this as theft - the context, meaning and consequences are different. You're playing not producing, it's private not public, etc.
I made one of my characters come from a small multi-community federation of prototypical ancoms whose home was destroyed by enclosure and land developers whom they defeated in a campaign similar to the Scouring of the Shire from the end of The Lord of The Rings. Even has an evil wizard in his backstory like Saruman.
I stole from it, but just made an american redneck with a mullet who owned a gunshop, but believed in anarcho-socialism. It threw my group for a loop that's for sure.
no line in film history will ever top "let's make some bacon"
I rewatched this instantly once he said that line.
I love the idea of a perfect nuclear family that are also straight up anarchist terrorists this needs to be a show on Netflix "oh honey you having trouble with bullies at school? Well just remember you can't rely on a system to protect you" *hands his 11 year old daughter a glock*
The Cubbys aren't terrorists though; their attack doesn't target civilians, it targets the occupying army.
@@Mewobiba dude attacking a police station is terrorism it may he justified terrorism but it's terrorism all the same
@@Da_Shark terrorism refers to attacking civilian targets, particularly outside the main area of conflict. As Bud says: "Laws are threats made by the dominant socio-economic ethnic group in a given nation. It's just a promise of violence that's enacted and police are basically an occupying army".
It is insurgency no doubt, but not terrorism. Terrorism would be if he, say, bombed a school or kidnapped the relatives of cops to extort them.
@@Mewobiba ok I have been educated but still you have to admit that would be a fucking amazing Netflix show perfect family who are also anarchist terrorists at night
Kinda like The Family
Bud in his first introduction: I'm not advocating you put a pig down
Bud when he returns: *LET'S MAKE SOME FUCKING BACON*
“You guys wanna make some bacon?” God bless you Bud Cubby.
As a Midwestern anarchist, I LOVE that the badass ansocs are Midwestern AF

@@obi-wankenobi7041 Minnesota.
Hey do Midwesterners count as model minorities among the greater white population? Because I feel like there's a lot of stereotypes about "nice" Minnesotans that is really portraying you guys as cute and cuddly teddy bears, and frankly, I've been to the bush and I know you can't all be like that.

QAP
,8D
Anarchosocialist halflings: that’s my people right there!! \,,/
The only bad part of this campaign is the fact that Bud Cubby never met Bill Seacaster. Because... my god. Imagine that friendship... and Brennan's inevitable narrative exhaustion.
I feel like they'd party for a week straight
The government would not have survived their friendship
Tbh I think Bud would have *hated* Bill, given Bill is literally a pirate who made a fortune exploiting, robbing, and murdering innocent people and came to Solace so the government would protect him against retribution. Bill is the 1% that cops exist to protect.
So while an encounter between these two would’ve been epic, their ideas about WHY laws are bad would’ve been a powder keg. Cubby says “Laws are threats by the dominant socio-economic”, while Bill says “Laws are fiction invented by the poor to harass the powerful”. I’m not sure the two would’ve gotten along
Lol they either be best friends or mortal enemies, because one believes laws was invented by a strong to suppress the weak, one believes laws were created by the week to annoy the strong, same belief, just coming at it from opposite angles 😂
i’ve already got dwarves living in a commune, time to add some anarchist halflings
Hell yeah
Brennan hit the nail on the head with this one. Gotta support this amazing group and make sure they stay in business.

Bud Cubby inspired me to start reading Anarchist theory.
I recommend "anarcho-syndicalism: theory and practice" by Rudolph Rocker or "Mutual Aid: A Factor in Evolution" by Peter Kropotkin. The former is quite short and definitely my favorite writer in theory and the latter is a refutation of Darwinism by the author of "the bread book"

This makes them better! The best community leaders have been politically radical! Look up the Black Panther Party programs. Radical politics is more of an indicator that a person cares about the collective society rather than an indictment that they dont. EDIT: radical as in communist or anarchist

the cubby’s radicalized me
Best way to turn into an AnCom
I don't know why the algorythm decided I need to see this but... I've been mulling a setting if I ever get back to TTRPGs where most halfling communities are anarcho-communist (agrarian), most dwarven communities are marxist-leninist (heavy industry), and the dispersed gnome nation is a co-operative commonwealth (manufacturing, trade, but especially postal/telegrams/librarians).
kinda fucked up that figs reaction to hearing the cubbys talk abt their experience with institutionalized racism was to treat them like conspiracy theorists

@@sweatyskeleton7390 Yeah, that's almost always the problem - replies are chronological rather than by whatever arcane scoring algorithm UA-cam has. So you will just see who wrote first.
All these amazing years and characters later, and I'm still coming back to the Cubby's as my absolute favorite characters and moment in all of Dimension 20. The raw political honesty, the meek midwestern affect, and the downright radical IRA/Black Panther inspired viciousness of the halflings has got to be one of my favorite moments in all D&D and college humor. I think a lot of people over this world know what it's like to have that occupying swine army force unjust laws upon us, a lot of our generation know the failures of capitalism, and it's comforting to know that there are people who can acknowledge all of that and still work at the post office and get ice cream with their kids on the weekends. When it feels like we've lost all stability, and am left frustrated by leftist infighting and horrified by the rise of fascism, I look to the Cubby's. Be kind, enjoy the good things in life, but take no ship from the powers that be.
Solidarity and power to the Halfling Revolution and to Brennan.
I agree with the Cubby's what does that say about me?
you're probably some form of anarchist;
probably anarco-socialist/communist
you're on the right side of history
@Elijah What would you identify as politically?
@Elijah Fair. Libertarianism is bordering on just anarchism anyway in my opinion - definitely not left wing though, like the above examples. Did start as a left wing ideology in fairness.
@Elijah Where would put Libertarianism on a political compass? It approaches the same concept as no centralised government just from a capitalistic view.
Bud Cubby coming back to save them was one of my favorite moments of the show, hes such a good character, cute little halfling who's an anarcho-socialist, love him
Last week I re-went through every episode they were in to get my fill of my favorite crazy socialist halflings, and now I can do it whenever with a single clip

Meanwhile, reading Lenin is what got me (ancom) from "MLs might have historically failed, they need to learn from history or they'll fail again" to "ML is internally contradictory and cannot succeed no matter how many attempts are made".
That said, Lenin's *Imperialism, the highest stage of capitalism* is a great work.
And that's how Brennan got put on a watchlist
Well, this aged like a fine wine
Suddenly want some Bacon. Weird.
Our world desperately needs more Brennan Lee Mulligans.
May 2020. Now might be the time to make some bacon
January 2021.

ACAB, all Cubby's are beautiful

"You guys wanna make some bacon?"
Iconic. Just iconic
I'll bet five pound Sterling that Brennan studied sociology. We too in the UK were taught that the police & army are actually there to protect the state, enforcing the law is No. 2.
I mean, in defense of police, enforcing the law, is protecting the state. It's defending the people and prosecuting injustice that are number 2.
The state makes the law, whether the people agree or not is irrelevant because the police enforce it. It's a tale as old as humanity. Whomever writes the rule, rules everyone else, with the iron fist of law abiding citizens armed and chosen by the state.
@@Thoron_of_Neto once you have defending people subordinate to protecting the interests of capital and the state you've lost.
4:02 "and you hear a voice from the cop area" missed opportunity to call it a pigpen
coming back to this two months later to say I'm funny as fuck
