Man, I can't believe they haven't professionally voice acted more often, and I wish they did, I love their line delivery in these. And they play so well off each other. Makes sense that they've been making music together for so long.
I was thinking the same thing! linnell especially seems to have a natural talent for it, his line delivery and comedic timing are so genuine and really enjoyable! God forbid if the johns ever get tired of music, they should become voice actors
OK BUT. this for real for real its so funny to me. i try really hard to not portray either of them as like, the striaght man or the funny man strictly bc honeslty i think they just pass around the braincell between them and its jsut. its wonderful AUGHHH. i get why some people woudl think linnell is the weirdo though he did kinda get his ass kicked in wdtsrs but. theyre both mentally ill......sorry i didnt mean that. theyre wonderful
@chalkothereal736 i would feel the need to congratulate you for having taste because of your icon, but that isn't surprising at all since this is literally a they might be giants video
For some weird reason unlike the other two albums/videos that TMBG and Walt Disney Company Records have collaborated on between 2005 and 2009, there's no end credits (just the copyright stamp) nor a final animation where Flansburgh and Linnell sign off and thank everybody for watching the album's video counterpart.

Linnell: Apes and humans have the same great great great great great great great great great great... (shows footage of clocks and hourglasses as Linnell keeps yelling "great" for several hours) (cuts back to Linnell) Linnell: great great great great great great great great great great grandparents

No that's JL in a tuxedo. In The Bloodmobile intro, he tells Flansburgh that he had to go to the laundry cleaners to get his yellow lab coat washed before said song plays
I think they can team up with the Walt Disney Company again to make a social studies one next using these animated Johns bumpers Also like the science one in addition to newer songs, they should include and re-record a few of their archival songs on the subject: Canajoharie Destroying The Past?! The Edison Museum (off the No! album) Istanbul (Not Constantinople) (from Flood) with Miller Time at the beginning and the instrumental jam session at the end when the play this song in concert Historical Landmarks James Knox Polk (the rock version with the electric guitars and for the music video put the confetti cannons shooting and confetti falling graphics on the line "Louis Cast, a general and expansionist" like they do it performing the song live) Meet James Ensor The Mesopotamians (off The Else) Tippecanoe & Tyler Too Dinner Bell (off Apollo 18) South Carolina (off State Songs Hello EP) For Science (off She Was A Hotel Detective EP) James K. Polk (Original Version) (off Istanbul Not Constantinople EP) They would also might have to rewrite the lyrics on a few since the some songs have swear word in it and the Walt Disney Company would never allow that on a kids album especially if it's one from an alternative rock & roll band with 2 Grammy Awards wins.

I want them to voice insane wizards in a Disney movie.
@@floridaflamingogirl3119 I think Flans would make a great insane wizard voice tbh
@@georgekelly567 HE WOULD. I can absolutely hear him screaming spells at a cauldron.
They should honestly do voice acting as a side job, they’re both so talented. Their rich man impressions was DEFINITELY my favorite one. 😭😭🧡💜
i'm way too old for these why am i laughing so hard
whenever my fixation on the here comes science johns comes back i will be forever thankful that i have this video
6000 WARLOCK SKULL POWER RINGS! IM A GOD!!

Who’s gonna tell them
John Linnell's old timey voice is iconic

this was my favorite movie as a kid and i can't find it to watch anywhere so this is close enough for me lollll
I LOVE THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS
Without those crayon-y Johns, I won't get the profile picture of their YT kids channel.
What exact videogame is Flansburgh playing in the “Computer Assistant Design” Intro when he tells Linnell he got 5000 warlock skull power rings
2:02/3:12 John tell me and my friends a story.
RAHHH!!! i love them so much :]
4:40 fLans goT pissed aT him
Heck yeah I love this duo
4:49 didn’t know Flansburgh was a gamer
0:54 john LinneLL is a vampire
No that's JL in a tuxedo. In The Bloodmobile intro, he tells Flansburgh that he had to go to the laundry cleaners to get his yellow lab coat washed before said song plays
@paysonsmith64 thunder and lightning SFX intensifies
2:06 Me to my brain whenever I’m trying to sleep
I think they can team up with the Walt Disney Company again to make a social studies one next using these animated Johns bumpers
Also like the science one in addition to newer songs, they should include and re-record a few of their archival songs on the subject:
Canajoharie
Destroying The Past?!
The Edison Museum (off the No! album)
Istanbul (Not Constantinople) (from Flood) with Miller Time at the beginning and the instrumental jam session at the end when the play this song in concert
Historical Landmarks
James Knox Polk (the rock version with the electric guitars and for the music video put the confetti cannons shooting and confetti falling graphics on the line "Louis Cast, a general and expansionist" like they do it performing the song live)
Meet James Ensor
The Mesopotamians (off The Else)
Tippecanoe & Tyler Too
Dinner Bell (off Apollo 18)
South Carolina (off State Songs Hello EP)
For Science (off She Was A Hotel Detective EP)
James K. Polk (Original Version) (off Istanbul Not Constantinople EP)
They would also might have to rewrite the lyrics on a few since the some songs have swear word in it and the Walt Disney Company would never allow that on a kids album especially if it's one from an alternative rock & roll band with 2 Grammy Awards wins.
Nice
I ❤️ John and John!!
god i love coming back to this
4:41 FLans is so pissed aT him
In the Computer Assistant Design intro
What exact Videogame is Flansburgh playing when he tells Linnell he's up to 5000-6000 warlock skull power rings
3:16 I never understood what he said there
Flansburgh said “Please regail us with another story!”
