Open-face PB&J sitting out on your desk. Same effect as jelly, with plausible deniability and easier cleanup. At worst, some classroom food rules to overcome, but less likely to be the case in college.

I actually had this happen to me in high school. I asked him multiple times to stop and he just kept saying "I'm not doing anything wrong". I got fed up once and when I could see him starting to lean back, I held a very sharpened pencil pointed towards him but still well over my own desk. He stabbed himself on it and got mad, but I hadn't done anything wrong! He stopped after that.
Justin: Smear some jelly on it! Travis: Would a sign help? Griffin: Pack your bags and move to a new town. Between these brothers we have solutions to literally every interpersonal problem in society.
In my high school Chemistry class I sat behind a kid who would lean back over my desk several times a day and scratch his head vigorously, sprinkling dandruff all over my belongings. And that was only the tip of the iceberg on what an insufferable person he was.
I fixed a similar problem before. Had a girl with really long hair that sat in front of me and would throw all her hair on my desk (it covered my notes and all) i very patiently and subtly pinned one or 2 of her hairs on the chair and just waited. When she moved it'd tug and she thought her hair was getting caught netween our desks, only had to doo it a few times and she never did it again!
If you just put a food on your desk that one would not want to get in their hair (pastry with just so much jam or a real runny egg on top), and he gets in it, then you have plausible deniability and he's got jelly and egg in his hair. He'll get upset but he put his own head in the jelly
Piggybacking off of what travis said about the Surprise Chiropractic Adjustment™, if you jsutbsyarted massaging honeboys shoulders it would be really funny. "You stretch your arms and back SO MUCH i just thought you could use a little extra help"
My immediate thought was lay some tape on the back of your laptop, sticky side up - not messy, as long as it's not tooo sticky it won't hurt to remove (much), and you have a more plausible explanation for having it out than you do with jelly
Dear MBMBAM, I took your advice from a different letter I wrote you and burned all my government identification, broke all contact with my loved ones & burned off my fingerprints. Unfortunately, now i need medical treatment for my burned hands and I have no id to get help from a hospital. What are some hands free ways to treat burned palms while you're trying to run away from your sexy heroic super spy past? 😂❤

i was in summer classes when i was first listening to a bit. sometimes i get a little nervous that a question is being asked about someone who is actually me. luckily, this is super easy to disprove on this one, as all my summer courses were taken in a computer lab, which would be very very difficult to stretch over. not impossible, but probably not that possible for me. also, holy shit, cannot even imagine doing that once, let alone multiple times a class.
@@johnracine4589 with all respect in the world, I disagree. the most reasonable solution is to tell this personal space invader to stop. enforce boundaries! don't let assholes get away with asshole behavior! remind people they don't own the entire world!

How did they glide right past "theraguns akimbo"! Unreal imagery by Grif
Justin's jelly solution never not fails.
Gotta get some of jIM jELLY's Gym Jelly, that stuff never doesn't not have that good good
If you just put down a plastic mat, that's a spill-free situation
But would a sign help?
I like how Travis was trying to be the voice of reason and suggested just talking to the guy, but then suggested putting broken glass on the table.
The Dichotomy of Man
broken glass-and this is crucial-mixed in with Justin’s defense jelly
@@CharlieFoHammerthen you gaslight him into thinking he broke your prized jelly jar

"There's my sweet boy" absolutely killed me lmfao
I love the simultaneous steroscopic "yeah" from Griffin and Travis
i cackled
"Surprise chiropractic adjustment" is a cool way of saying unexpected internal decapitation 😂
Not enough people are talking about internal decapitations
PUT THE JELLY DIRECTLY ON HIS FOREHEAD
NICE! Nobody else like this comment plz!
"Theraguns Akimbo" new band name I call dibs
the real answer is to breathe back in his face with such ruthless awkwardness he never stretches again (or, better yet, moves seats entirely).
Tuna sandwich before class
@@emilythesmellytuna goes wonderfully w your username lol
My confusion is, why doesn't the question asker just move seats?
@@Tiny-Little-Guy maybe no seats available, maybe theyre next to their buddies, maybe they need to be close to the front of the class to see good and theresno good seats left, u never know!!!
We almost got a "pack your bags and move away"! Blast from the past
I’m 3 months behind so I just listened to this bit and imagining this guy doing that in front of me made me SO mad
The triumphant return of "put a little jelly on it" 😂
I love the rapid pivot to "Oh, then broken glass in the jelly"
The second Justin said "I gotta way you could fix this...", I knew. Right out of the gate.
"Here comes the jelly."
👏PUT SOME JELLY ON IT👏
I have no idea why but Travis is giving real therapist-looking vibes in this video

It's really funny the amount of mbmbam listeners who struggle with, "hey bro dont do that".
(But like what if he gets mad at me)
Just give em a lil kiss!
Enjoyed Travis’s visceral look of disgust at the beginning
Justin: Smear some jelly on it!
Travis: Would a sign help?
Griffin: Pack your bags and move to a new town.

And move away **
this happened to me in college too and everytime, i made the same "ugh" sound that justin made lol
I love the little zoom on "This person is in **PAIN**"
A surprise chiropractic adjustment 😂 I see what you did there Beef

well now i'm hooked! what else did he do?
Uh oh. I think I had this problem in high school. Are you talking about me?
im currently making my way through the beginning of the podcast towards present day, incredible that jam/jelly is still a solution 10 years later
"Theraguns Akimbo," needs to be an album name
Bring a spray bottle to class.
Alternatively, tin can full of coins?

Jam him up!
I swear to god I'm going to use the jelly strategy someday. I just need to find the perfect opportunity -- and carry a jar with me.

I fucking LOVEmcElroy clips!!!!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU SO GOOD GAD DAMN IT!!!!
I'd love a video on Travis's office space. I wonder if he uses a dirted fish tank.
That's exactly how he would say it, too
that's the real term for it

Almost like they're related or something

I want the people who track the national birth rate to also track the national consequence rate
First inhale deeply, and tell them they smell different when they are awake. Or spray them with a water bottle
Probably the guy thinks op's cute, so they're probably doing it on purpose. So he's a creep.
Why is this my first time seeing their faces
Do Canadian colleges (or at least this one) have assigned seating or something? If talking to the guy is off the table, sit somewhere else.
This is the most reasonable but least funny solution.
