I love the Meaty Starfish. My favorite thing to do there is go through the drive through,put in a big order, then pull away as the hillbilly guy opens the window. 4/5 stars
BONUS if you hear the hillbilly swear and threaten you.
Preach 😂
Make sure to floor it as soon as he picks up the bag and makes eye contact for maximum effectiveness
Really nice jingle. Great harmonies.😂 Keep this series going, so entertaining.
lmao
I have become more invested in the meaty starfish videos than the videos on your main channel.
Honestly lol
I am a lover not hater but the main channel's content lacks depth. Dude, Ark, and 7 Days are pointless. The only real content in 7 Days is the zombie attack nights; other than that, it's just the same old, same old. This one you earn you unlock, there is a goal and I like it
I love the lads' banter no matter what they're playing, but personally, I don't really care for "crafting" type games... not my cup of tea. I enjoy the main channel... but these oddball games & craziness of the Dumpster... (chef's kiss) just my speed. 👍🏼😃
Well, it’s the best content. Not sure why they hate longer run times in their main channel. I’d rather see 1 hour videos over the 20 min ones
I would love for them to do another Minecraft series
Dora's laugh when Neebs says "Oh no, can I unwrap a burger?"
He already felt that pain!
One bun is a "Dora Special"
*nervous empathetic laughter*
Neebs claiming fries and chicken and then promptly walking away letting them both burn..Neebs comedy gold!. This is why we are all here.
i'd like one order of fries cooked in six-seek old oil and a black chicken patty with no top bun please...
All that prep time, just to immediately fall flat on your faces with the first order over the mustard. Shine on you crazy diamonds 🤣
🎉😂
they burn food and think "this time" will be better than last time...
Arghhh you said it before me, lol
I was yelling "Mustard," as soon as I saw that they unlocked. Damn it, guys 😂
They could order a bunch of stuff, keep it in the coolers, freezer and shelves and be ready. Instead they order stuff every day.
Been watching for 10+ years, and this series has easily become one of my favorites.
same!
I thought this was done after last ep. Hands down my favourite series in a loooong time. Absolute gold
I agree on both accounts
I really thought/hoped they were going to take Simon off the front
Preach
@@ibulleti7948 Anything else would be too chaotic for Simon, the front is the easiest part and he seems to struggle with that.
@@jollybodger Simon didn't even realize he could pick up the stacks of cups and move them. Dude is a lost cause
Neebs walking away and burning the chicken and the fries had me laughing so hard I was crying. 😂 This series is awesome, can’t wait for the next episode.👍🏼
So excited to see you guys didn't give up on this playthrough. Just gotta tweak a few things and it will be far less chaotic lol
Some suggestions from EP.3 comments are,
Appsro does drive thru, take one order make one order. Neebs runs front with Fernando, Dora only does sandwiches for front and he starts picking up the ingredients instead of one by one. Simon doing grill fries and bussin.
1. Put on main channel.
2. Cut to 45 minutes.
3. 2 Episodes a week
(Monday night and thurs or Fri nights)
4. Make it like three days per episode.
It's one of my favorite series!
I agree I was so scared they were going to do another one
I play this game and it's not in a state to do anything well later in the game lol
Still fun as hell
As a Former Wendy's manager I am so proud of the teamwork and all the improvement you've made. I love the system you made. Keep experimenting and be so happy your fries and burgers never go cold.
so they have a job then if things go tits up then?
oh you saidformer I digress
@@purplespudz4023you may want to look up what digress means…
I would hire appsro and Neebs, if they were applying for employment at a Texas Wendy's about 4 years ago. Honestly I'd hire Dora and Simon too, but if Simon made it past 90days he'd be dishwasher n grill
The dynamic is surprisingly realistic for a job situation. I mean just with 4 entertaining fellahs. Glad Dora withdrew his 2 weeks notice.
Haha it was a one day notice
He was told he couldn't quit due to child support.
nah, he left, got rehired like the waiter (probably six times by now)
Thick would've made the most epic song for the Meaty Starfish franchise...
Can you imagine that goober running the register? I'd hate to take Simon off of one of the rare things in a game that he actually almost seems competent at, but man, I'd love to see it, it'd definitely be incredible...
@@lorehammer40k4 Simon? Competent?? 😂 Dude didn't even know he could move the cups! He causes 99.9% of the confusion and chaos no matter what game they're playing. All he does is bitch and moan about every. little. thing.
Human Fry Cook Man
He would suck so bad at rhis
😂 the human man warrior would not enjoy this 😅
Two uploads in one day? We are not worthy... Thank you Aztecia.
We are always here to provide the meat you need! 😄
@@neebsmagicdumpster yeah, I'm gonna need more meat!
"He walked away as if he had no job" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Please never stop this series.
Dora's frustration this game is one of my favorite parts of the whole process. LOVE THIS SERIES.
yeah, it's pretty... dora. it's a good thing they have a game youtube channel...
Yup 😅 no quitting the meaty starfish!
I want him to mutter under his breath 'I don't need this s**t I'm a lv5 pummel pete'
I just binged all 4 episodes of this series today while resting due to an injury. It made me laugh so many times - please keep them coming!
Sorry to hear about your injury, but that sounds like a good day!
I love this series. People say turn it into a 30-minute series but I don't know if I could handle only 30 minutes of this.
Nah, they'd only get one day in. Screw that I want 1 and a half to 2 hour episodes of this
hell no. hour long marathons is the way for this
Exactly, I'd rather it be a dumpster series just so we can have an hour worth.
No one is saying that.
personally? I enjoy long form videos. I like to have em on as background noise or something, while i am doing stuff on my pc. having a 30 min video is too short imho. to each their own on that topic tho. That's just how I feel.
I love how much the guys are into this game. Clearly reading the comments for tips and constantly streamlining things.
dora actually improved quite a bit... i actually think HE should just make all the burgers... 1 person drive though and...? 1 person cook food, 1 person take orders (and simon... BUY SOME FUCKING GLASSES!!!) the number of people who go back and look at something is insane... dude you can remember more than 2 squirts of ketchup... the memories of... fish food.
I'm so glad you guys didn't give up on this playthrough, even through the chaos and angies, it's really fun!
My favorite by far
Preach
I feel like everything Simon suggests gradually evolves into others doing more work while he flounders to accomplish the same amount of work.
That basically describes Simon
tbf he gave himself a lot of responsibility from the start
He could just make the drink immediately after he takes an order. Him yelling out that he needs things just causes confusion and chaos, which is the Simon way
@smallberries I literally caught myself getting highly annoyed over Simon taking people away from there duties just to make a drink which is literally right behind him..
@@JDurantSr It's even worse when he usually stands directly behind whoever he made get him the drink, looking over their shoulder while customers pile up at the register
I love that Dora is the only one that knows about the trash can in the back, everyone else runs all the way to the drive through trash can lol
I remember when they'd go all the way inside the restaurant to throw away trash 😂
seriously. it's like they are all blind! asspro leaves shit in the frier cage/on the truck, every body just stands there looking directly at what they need, and they keep leaving fridge/truck doors open...
Someone can empty the truck and place boxes in the hall, then another can sort them out. 😅
And half the time, they throw everything away one item at a time, rather than taking the tray and dumping it.
Please don’t stop this series, it’s incredible
I agree❤ We need more of this❤
Man... Neebs *really* got Dora with that "no one wants our chicken" bit! Could hear Dora wheeze-laughing in the background! 👏👏👏👍🏼😂😂
It's perfect that Simon is working the front. He is absolutely the face of the Meaty Starfish! Best customer service
Simon knows how to make customers feel welcome! Mostly.
This is such a great series! Glad they continued.
Preach
about half way through the video and man, I've never known Neebs to be surely and have an attitude. I'd have thought it would be Dora since he was forced to go back to work to pay child support
Yeeeeessssss ! I want this series to never end.
Also I want fries. This series gives me terrible cravings for fast food.
gives me a craving for lady star.. nvm lol
Preach
I’ve resorted to cooking burger at home for a real simulator experience 🤌
Please do not stop this series. This level of ineptitude is too funny not to be shared. All we need is Anthony showing up as the Health Inspector.
Coffee and large fries! Chaos, here we come.
Anthony as a health inspector would be amazing.
I love the overwhelming confusion that takes place almost instantly after they open 😂
Already Neebs burned the food and chaos starts lol.
@ instantly, i was like "where the F is neebs?"
He like shied away behind the soda machine. Also funny how wrong they were in their predictions of orders
I’ve learned so much about women from Neebs, he should write a book.
- women like fries
- women take the buns off of their burgers
- women like pumpkins
This might be my new favorite series on either of the Neebs channels.
What a cluster frag. You guys are chaos incarnate!
Here's a bit of a hint.
Lay out burgers in multiples of 6. Put a burger on the fryer, wait a count of three, and put the next one down. Doing it that way, you'll have the time to flip. 6 burgers go on a tray. They do not go cold. Have six ready to sell, without adding condiments.
Fries work the same way. Each one takes time to remove from the heat, so leave a count of three or four between each basket. Fries don't go cold in the warmer.
Put the serving tray beside the registers. There is no sense in having more than two or three ready to go, as it's too far away to put food on.
Also, serve the burger, do the soda and grab the ice cream as the soda is filling. Put both on the tray, and grab a fry. Should go smoothly. But in your kitchen, smooth is not the norm.
CHAOS! IT'S ALL CHAOS!!
if two people unload the truck, can't one person give more than one item to the other, that way it requires fewer trips?
@@normanhathaway2275 Nope. Each person handles their own load. Once picked up, it can only be put on the floor inside the door, or on an appropriate shelf. The game is very early access, and still under development, so many common sense things that are done at a normal workplace can not be done. And lets face it. No one watches Neebs Gaming for their flawless gameplay.
It's the chaos that brings us back. Watching Neebs screw up putting the order in the drive through bags, and yelling about how people keep driving away is hilarious.
Watching these guys get organize and actually try? That's something special!
Wow... that did not go well...
😂
well, try to get organized...
Makes plan, immediately everyone deviates from said plan 😂. I love you guys
Woke up and knew today was gonna be a good day when I saw another Neebs Meaty Starfish episode! Don't give up guys. I believe in you!
Btw, Chocolate Starfish is Limp Bizkit. Lol
You know what's better than a Chocolate Starfish? A Meaty one! 😉
@@neebsmagicdumpster smells like Anthony
Definitely one of the better series to come out recently. Love that your continuing with it.
As a chef for 20 years cringing and laughing at the same time 😅. This could be so easy, but they just keeping making it harder on themselves 😅
let's just leave boxes all over the place and never close the fridge! also, let's have four people do the exact same job for no apparent reason...
@@mmm-mmm and whatever you do - never, NEVER close the truck's doors
I don't understand why I love this series so much. Please don't stop making the other series, but please keep the Meaty Starfish alive!
Very happy to see another episode. Was worried the turmoil in the last episode drove everyone away.
1:20:30 love how not one person noticed order 8 that was left in the machine by Simon. They looked at the screens and the ticket machine and Simon even looked at the people at the table.
I am pretty sure I have watched or atleast had in the background neebs videos, all of them, repeats and all. Many times. While working or struggling with life. The team helps my mentality with relateable fun! This community is amazing. Even, 4 years ago, I broke my neck and we lost our human man worrier. I didn't know where the happiness was anymore. I found it here a few times and life is better!
Everyone has worked through their own life's difficulties and help each other. In this specifically wonderful, supportive, safe place. Thank you Neebs crew and family and community! Much love to all! I am here to help you all where I can!
Easily my favorite Neebs series right now.
My friend group has started playing this game because of y'all! I have all the respect for Simon- front end is no joke!
So now you know it's impossible to do anything well in this game? Welcome to the club. I'm pretty sure the developers intent is to get everyone to be more forgiving of fast food workers 😂
Update: except for them forgetting the easy order, it looks like they nailed the last day. I'm impressed.
Preach
I am losing it right now over three drive-thru people driving off on Neebs. His plaintive cries, "She saw me!" 🤣
Hell yea! another episode 😆 I have no idea why this is so satisfying to watch,. but it just is 😁
Its like when they say you just cant look away from a crash that is happening.
It's my favorite thing so far.
Yeah, I'm over here screaming at my TV over them bumbling easy shit, but I watched it live for an hour and a half and loved every minute
Absolutely enjoying this series, and the kitchen chaos is art imitating life.
The struggle is real. 😉
So glad yall kept playing im way more excited than I should be for this
I haven't worked in a restaurant in over 20 years but man when you get to clean up at the end of a busy day and everyone else is still finishing their ques is great, you don't even get mad at the fact that its past hours.
This could definitely be on the main channel. I love this series so much.
I second this and my wife is a third
Preach
But nothing on their main channel has this length of runtime. Pisses me off when I wait all week for a new Ark or 7 days episode and it ends up being only 17 damn minutes
@@bpropst4620I know. There stuff should at least be 45 mins to an hour
@@bpropst4620 length usually is the deciding factor.
I start craving burgers every time I watch this series. Keep up the good work!
and i don't even eat fast food!!!!
I’ve been cooking burgers at home because of this series haha I just don’t get that oddly satisfying “wrapped” sound 😅
As someone who has worked in the industry the more episodes they come out with the more realistic things become. This is so amazing!
I missed most of it came in on my lunch break and the first thing I hear is Simon bitching!….. God I love it 😂
Neebs running drive thru is the best him just complaining about how much people order or how little is fantastic
Poor customer 8 was completely forgotten at the end. They were sitting there waiting for their food while the entire crew cleaned up around them, talking about how good they were, lol.
🤣
Poor customer lv8 vs Pummel Pete lv5 remember the day.
I don't have any friends. They all have either left this life or left me. You guys make me feel like I have friends. Thank you.
I'm sorry for your loss. May you find new friends who help you get through life and make some more good memories
same :(
Best community in all the world! World peace!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
If you enter through the back door you can leave the hired help standing out front until you open. Treat them like the cheap labor they are. 😂
Concur with so many other comments, so glad you didn't give up on this establishment. I mean soooo many people would go hungry if the Meaty Starfish closed. As the game moves along, there is more and more that needs to be done, and there will be more and more customers as your popularity goes up. Thank you for not giving up guy! You are so awesome!!
Simon drives me nuts in this game. "Mr. Hoop Number 3!" 😂
Wait. Didn’t someone quit and move to New Zealand on the last episode of The Meaty Starfish ? Oh, the drama 😂
😂 was actually a VA K😂
"Dayum we found our groove right there!" actually got me pumped up!
These are sooooo funny! I thought you guys were finished after the last episode and what you said on the POD. Glad to see it back again!
Right?
Amazing, you guys frustrate me beyond all hell with this series but I need more
I’m so proud of you guys for working through your system. This was kinda beautiful.
Award for best non-cinematic series goes to: Neebs' Meaty Starfish!
Glad you guys came back. This game was hilarious to watch yall play. I kept thinking you guys call Simon useless and all thst stuff yet you got him in charge of one of the more chaotic jobs. Abd ASTRO just did burgers and was like dang yall switch and I bet ASTRO would be freaking out for most help too. Dealing woth order. Recipes. Plateing, drinks, ice cream, and at one point delivery of the food was entirely crazy and he did very well I thought. And burgers are a pain like building them I understand. But just cooking them and fries is crazy simple. Most simple of all till it was watch the oil and all as well lol
I love that it doesn't need cinematic editing. The reality is just 2 good 2 denie. Also I might need that shirt. Please PLEASE KEEP GOING!
The mayhem of this series is excellent! It’s great to watch the evolution of teamwork but the stress and pace is the chefs kiss ❤! The Meaty Starfish is killing it!
it's like watching the three stooges try to run a restaurant...
the REAL secret to keeping organised is just not accepting every custumors order straight away, let them stand in the queue.
Better to have them walk out before you started making their food, just a few orders at a time THEN you move on to the next
I'm so happy you didn't stop this series 🎉
The reason I like this series and channel in general is you are more likely to play stupid games with no idea how to play them. All you have is the group and trying to figure it out as you go along, and the dynamic in NG has always been the best part for me. Early ARK days where no one knew how to do anything were a great time.
I find it funny that Simon sounds the most stressed but has the easiest job out of the lot.
Just ordered the shirt! Please don’t stop playing!
Thanks for your support Hannah!
Tickled by the course correct.
Funny how everything turned out by happenstance of who chose what role on the first day. I would think if Appsro and Simon had the other's job, the whole game would have gone much smoother.
Dora sounds disappointed 😂 and I love how Simon seems to be the one who kinda has it together 😂 I love it
More! MORE! I can't explain it, but this series is just fantastic. The long-form element is huge. MORE! The shirt, amazing.
Loving this series. Cant wait for coffee to be thrown into the mix 😄
I’m losing it lmao after all that prep it immediately fails and we’re right back at crazy town lol I love it so much. Some main channel shenanigans.
This may be my favorite series. Neebs burning the chicken 😅😅😅
I'm feeling overwhelmed doing half the work, so give me the whole station to myself 😂
I love the logic.
I was so worried the last episode was going to be the finale. Can't wait!
They really delivered
Simon can clean the tables. He was standing around so much. So much downtime. Just don't forget to pay him 30$ per day.
They couldn’t stay out of the kitchen…and I’m so glad to see the results.
Pretty sure Dora hates it, but had to come back due to popular demand
It's like a nonstop horde night and building the base at the same time. Chaos and order somehow all in one 😂. Everone at their limits and at their peaks! Cannot imagine for a more entertaining show from you guys!
Plus - Neebs' first go at chicken patties had me laughing out loud 😂
Somebody's gonna find a 'Meaty Starfish' tshirt at a goodwill or garage sale years from now and wonder what the fuck
I can't wait to see more. I hope you guys keep playing this one.
First series I have really looked forward to in a long time!
This is all PTSD from my time in fast food. Simon seems to know how to run a fast food restaurant.
Neebs needs to have his own prep station on the empty counter in the drive thru area
Could also put the burgers on the bun, any sold is at minimum one patty. And I think it would be smoother to line the non used table beside Dora with burgers on buns too.
Ahahaha, omg, 17 minutes with tons of prep and strategy, and the very first order: "We have mustard??"
Simon is an absolute boss! Woohoo!! Team Simon!! 🎉
I have no idea why I’m so invested in this!
Also, Simon is absolutely shining in this series overall. Very good to see him delegating and communicating so well!
you can store the veggies that are in crates on the shelf, as well the cans of condiments can be shelved until they are opened. I just figured that out during my gameplay. I did test on all of them, so I could have room in the fridge for other things.
i wonder if they can put all the sauces (ketchup, etc.) in a tray and carry that instead of carrying each individual one...
@mmm-mmm that I haven't tried and I've played for over 65 hours. Something to try when I play again.
@@michelleholland7865 cool
Each batch of fries contaminates the oil by 12-13%, so if you do 2 at the same time it contaminates to 25%, you can realistically use the same batch of oil for 6 total batches of fries to reach 75% contamination, but you could technically run 2 more batches and stop them when the oil hits 99% contamination and then replace oil, but the best way is to let it get to 75% contaminated and then empty half of the oil and just refill that half with new oil and it will lower the contamination down. So best practice I've found is to just run it up to 75ish% and then empty half of it (with the Waste Oil Can) and then pour in new oil and lower the contamination. Think of it like your hair, it keeps growing and you're constantly cutting off the old hair while new replaces in an infinite loop! I'm pretty sure the contamination works the same with chicken patties and nuggets, each basket uses 12-13% of contamination.
What I've found is when you add new products like chicken patties and nuggets and unlock medium and large fries, just make less of everything at the beginning of the shift because you'll still have roughly the same amount of customers each day and now they won't just be ordering a plain hamburger because you have so many new options now, so now some want a plain burger, the next wants a double with cheese and a small fry, then the next wants a double chicken burger with cheese and a large fry. So you end up going through less burger patties than you're used to, so always keep that in mind. I make 9 chicken patties a day and end up throwing out 1-3 of them, sometimes more, sometimes less, same with cheeseburgers and plain burgers. I always make 2 batches of fries and leave them in the warmer and prepare around 2 small fries, 1 medium and 1 large and leave them in the warmer and with chicken nuggets I make one bag and fill the nugget boxes (one bag makes 4 nuggets boxes) and set them beside the drink machine ready to be placed on the tray.
Its funny that Neebs was in one episode and all heck broke loose lol. I knew it would happen, he loves poking the others with a stick to get them going. Glad to see they arent giving up.........yet
he's expediting their anger....
Yep, my comment last video stands. Neebs is the wrench
They did increase the game difficulty at the same time they opened up further game options.
@@Docktavion it's only on hard... I run hard with me and 1 other person.
@ how do you guys brake up tasks and jobs?
I love that Simons chaotic brain makes him so good at this. He is getting much better at gaming in general... until the brain fart happens. You can tell these guys never worked in fast food. This could easily be a main channel game! Love it!
Great team building game!
I could see it being a tight 30 minutes. Tho it feels nicer this way in that you’re in the middle of the chaos lol
damnit it's a Premier! i was excited and make popcorn 🍿
BOY, I am not eating at this place all the food is made ahead of time? Fresh fast food is out the window.
I don't know if I hope they read the comments or not from the people trying to help them out. Part of what makes it so funny is the struggle but man it can it be hard to watch sometimes. LOVE it regardless!
Pretty sure Aztecia is reading through them and giving the guys relevant suggestions.
They DEFINITELY read the comments. There were so many comments on the last video about how they can improve their organization, and game mechanics that they seemed unaware of... In the beginning of this video they used EVERY SINGLE TACTIC that had been suggested to them. I worked in fast food for 10 years, so this series really activates some sort of mental stimulation within me.
@ it's almost like they should have read the directions to begin with...
No, Aztecia plays this game obsessively 🤣
Can we have a fast food sim series?
I'm absolutely enjoying this
