we're overlooking the "I have my own discreet birthday" line, as if Griffin personally believes his parents made Justin and Travis share a birthday at his behest
As an eldest sibling, I can honestly say that his eye roll elicited what I can only describe as a "gut-punch" of empathy. Just a sudden "bruuuuuuh" that hit me square in the abdomen.
I'm sure you're physically capable of beating Griffin, he's a man-shaped baby bird. But are you emotionally capable of harming a single downy feather on his sweet newly-hatched head? I doubt anyone is.
The best part is that they're clearly trying to resist, because they *know* Clint is just saying this to tease them, but when he said that they couldn't help but go off and give him exactly the reaction he wanted.
Amazing comedy genes on display here. Justin and Travis remark on how they baby Griffin. Griffin and Clint demonstrate that then Griffin slam dunks it with the petulant, spoiled outburst. This is like watching a perfectly executed football play.
I used to have a normal amount of sibling envy of my younger sibling, but both now adults, I can't help but think "who am I kidding--they're my favorite, too". I love them a ton more than I could ever be jealous.
can confirm, love me some appy slices with peanut butter, and if you've never tried it, i also suggest "ants on a log" (e.g. peanut butter on a celery stick with raisins on top)
Every time they do I think of the tumblr post that was like "When I started TAZ I didn't know Justin was a member of the family until much later because of how often he calls his dad Clint"
Its been told in legend that griffin needs to pay 150$ more on a flight just so he can get on the plane early and detach 20% of the head cushions for his terrible, brittle body.

It's weird thinking about this. I am the youngest and my parents were much more of the "the other 2 survived he'll be fine" kinda attitude to a lot of things.
Youngest of 4, in retrospect I feel I was very spoiled, but recently my parents said they felt a bit guilty for paying me _less_ attention than the other kids got at the same ages. Ultimately a lot of the spoiling was from my siblings :P
It was a bit of both in my case. They were a lot more careful about me so when I was younger I was babied a bit, but they gave less and less fucks as my other two siblings came around. But on the flip side, this means they also got away with more, and my parents were a lot more lenient.
Conversely, I was more than 10 years older. At the age of 13 I was babysitting a toddler, and by 15-16 I was staying home alone with her (who was like 4) overnight. My sister is over the age of 18 now (still in high school, but legally an adult) and my parents still ask me to come watch her when they go on vacation. I’m married and nearly 30. My parents need to chill lol.
I rewatched this today because I'm studying and my inner monologue went "I need a snack. I could get apple slices that's healthier. With peanut butter. FUCKING OF COURSE I WANT PEANUT BUTTER CLINT"
I've never related to Griffen more lol. As the youngest of 11, my mom has told me repeatedly that I'll "always be the baby" (I'm 22) and I've been told by my siblings I've been spoiled my whole life lmao. Whenever my mom gets called out for treating me like one of her favorites she goes "well of course! She's the baby!"
@@izzysauls7737 lol catholic but that's not why, my mom just wanted a lot of kids. We went to catholic school and all but the most we did with religion as a family was be dragged to mass maybe once a year for Easter (and that also stopped by the time I was like 5 lmao)
I love how angry Justin is and how tired Travis looks with the “He was like a beam of light sent down by an angel in Heaven” Like that’s pure old sibling annoyance! 😂
Does anyone else find it weird to hear the brothers', let's call them, cartoon voices, coming out of actual human faces? Somehow Justin is the only one who looks like he sounds.
my older brother got so upset when my twin and i were born because before then he wasn't just the only child, but the only GRANDchild in the family and got all the attention
Parenting seems to go 2 ways: the oldest gets neglected because they take for granted they can take care of themselves as they fret over the younger siblings. OR the eldest gets all the attention and the rest get neglected because they are burned out and have no energy left. There seems to be no happy medium of just like idk treating your children equally
I'm the younger sibling but that's not why I'm the favourite, it's because I started making dinner so there would be food ready for my mum when she got home from work when I was like 14. We were way more even in standing before that.
It’s so weird for me to see how normal families function and everyone says that the youngest gets babied but in my house where I was the youngest of 4 I might as well have not existed.
I couldn't distinguish Justin and Travis' voices for like... a good few months when I started listening to them. My suggestion now is to watch spinoff shows with just one or two of them (Monster Factory, Sawbones, Shmanners, etc) to get a feel for each person without the noise of the others.
I was the second child and the "baby" for 11 years and then my sister came along (and then another brother and another sister the following years). So I have all the traits of the youngest and the middle children. Basically a bit spoilt and attention seeking lol.
I am the baby in my family, and my brother and sister are 9 and 12 years older than me, respectively. My whole life, they'd say I'm spoiled and babied compared to them when they were little, and I'd get super angry... now that I'm in my 20s and they're both in their early 30s, I see it. Baby Sibling Gang for life.
i love how he calls his father "Clint" when he got upset
I winced so hard just imagining what would happen to me if I did that to my dad, even jokingly
I feel like immediately after the bit ended, he pulled Griffin aside like, "Reign it in, son"
he is an ADULT!!! of course he'll scream at his father
@@athenakvamme7550 I don't think that is a very healthy relationship
CLINT
we're overlooking the "I have my own discreet birthday" line, as if Griffin personally believes his parents made Justin and Travis share a birthday at his behest
it's like having your own bedroom
Nah in that sketch about travis selling onions he mentioned having shared a bedroom with Travis in those trying times
That's absurd, their parents didn't make them share a birthday on Griffin's behalf.
_God_ did.
@@LaMarcheFutilé101i did a little bit of math. 9 months before justin and travis' birthday is febuary 8th. thats pretty close to valentines day
_Discrete:_ separate, distinct
Discreet: intentionally unobtrusive
Ain't nothing discreet about Griffin's birthday
Justin's majestic eye roll when Clint said "he came down like a shaft of light from heaven" is PEAK eldest sibling mood.
As a fellow eldest sibling I felt that moment in my soul.
It is within our eldest sibling power to always eye roll our younger siblings lol
I thought they were laughing at shaft cause I was hahaha
As an eldest sibling, I can honestly say that his eye roll elicited what I can only describe as a "gut-punch" of empathy. Just a sudden "bruuuuuuh" that hit me square in the abdomen.
As a fellow eldest, 100% checks out
“fucking of COURSE I WANT PEANUT BUTTER, CLINT” gets me every time
"Okay, sweetie!"
I'm dead, please bury me with all my shit because I'm dead now
That was the best laugh I've had in a while. Our sweet baby boi just knows how to make us smile.
I think about this line every single day
As someone who actually does have Glass Bones (I.e., Osteogenesis Imperfecta), I could still beat up griffin
It's not even necessary, all Griffin needs to do is eat a slice of bread and his body beats itself up.
I have a mild case of it but agreed
Travis could wrestle griffin, the same way he did with that kid who had the flu and Griffin would just shatter into pieces
Oh please no, don't harm the wee babe.
I'm sure you're physically capable of beating Griffin, he's a man-shaped baby bird. But are you emotionally capable of harming a single downy feather on his sweet newly-hatched head? I doubt anyone is.
I saw this thumbnail at a quick glance and thought Clint was in prison getting his one a month visitor
He deserves to be, for his crimes which are too numerous to recount.
once a month his three boys come in and take turns dunking on him, but every month he shows up
Clint is a serial tax evader
In prison for D&D crimes (ie; not using magic)
I mean, we all knew him murdering his freshman college roommate would come back to haunt him one day…
its the way travis nd justin immediately get so mad when clint finishes the word heaven
The best part is that they're clearly trying to resist, because they *know* Clint is just saying this to tease them, but when he said that they couldn't help but go off and give him exactly the reaction he wanted.
griffin: "mm."
it feels like this isn't the first time they've had this discussion
Amazing comedy genes on display here. Justin and Travis remark on how they baby Griffin. Griffin and Clint demonstrate that then Griffin slam dunks it with the petulant, spoiled outburst.
This is like watching a perfectly executed football play.
Amazing chemistry and it feels unscripted
Theory: Griffin and Clint have been doing a bit since he was a child
It's like all 4 of them are the same person, but a time traveler meeting up with himself during different points in his life
youre so right
I've never heard it explained better
It's like "All You Zombies", but with less... whatever you'd call what was going on in that book.
I used to have a normal amount of sibling envy of my younger sibling, but both now adults, I can't help but think "who am I kidding--they're my favorite, too". I love them a ton more than I could ever be jealous.
This is the sweetest thing I've ever read aww~💕
wholesome as shit :'}
that's the sweetest thing you could say about your siblings :')
Oh same, my little brother was my favourite family member once he was born. He also watches McElroy content and has accpted his Griffin-ness.
this is so sweet awwww
As the baby of three sisters,I can confirm that we do enjoy peanut butter with our appy slices
As a non-American sweet baby brother, I have never tried it, but now I want to. Also, you should try appy slices with a bit of honey.
As the very tired and upset eldest sibling, i will be sure to scowl silently in the corner whilst you consume your appy slices
Can confirm! Love peanut butter with appy
can confirm, love me some appy slices with peanut butter, and if you've never tried it, i also suggest "ants on a log" (e.g. peanut butter on a celery stick with raisins on top)
Youngest of four with a peanut allergy here, can say appie slicies with caramel sauce is the shit
It will always be Peak Comedy to me when they call their father by his first name
Every time they do I think of the tumblr post that was like "When I started TAZ I didn't know Justin was a member of the family until much later because of how often he calls his dad Clint"
Also every time they say "That's our daddy"
Lol, especially when they call him Clinton!
@@ollivander4590 oof that too accurate
Let's not forget the time in TAZ that Clint called Griffin "McElroy" despite the fact they all share the same last name
Griffin IS delicate... that’s why his poor glass bones needs so many pillows
If Griffin doesn't sleep in a pillow mech suit then who the hell will
Its been told in legend that griffin needs to pay 150$ more on a flight just so he can get on the plane early and detach 20% of the head cushions for his terrible, brittle body.
I like to refer to elder siblings as "practice children"
In my family, we call the oldest “the first pancake.”

When your siblings are both scorpios u pretty much automatically come off as an angel in comparison

@@EricChoiniere lmao same when you’re the youngest of 5, you tend to get ignored. So my siblings were the ones taking care of me most of the time

This is hilarious, I love how they're all in on the bit, but that there is probably a lot of truth to their parents spoiling Griffin.
The greatest lies are woven into the truth so all they need to do is just exaggerate what they were already doing/feeling/saying.
As an eldest sibling, I stan Justin McElroy.
As an only child, same.
As a fellow eldest sibling, I too relate to the struggles of Mr Hoops.
HARD same.
justin muttering "this fuckin shit.." before going in on clint sends me every time
I rewatched this today because I'm studying and my inner monologue went "I need a snack. I could get apple slices that's healthier. With peanut butter. FUCKING OF COURSE I WANT PEANUT BUTTER CLINT"

Yes and I couldn't be happier!
How would somebody who didn't get this video recommended to them answer no your question?
Yeah
Because it was just uploaded? Yeah
I mean it was also uploaded like, january 7 of this year, when else would it be recommended

@@BlackParade727 I gotchu. One of my aunts has 7 kids and she did it both for religious and personal reasons.
"FUCKING OF COURSE I WANT PEANUT BUTTER, CLINT!" Is my new favorite Griffin quote
the amount of icons on Clint's desktop is stressing me the hell out
His dad energy is unmatched
I love how angry Justin is and how tired Travis looks with the “He was like a beam of light sent down by an angel in Heaven” Like that’s pure old sibling annoyance! 😂
Travis at 0:10 is the meme of the CIA guy taking off his headphones in digust
As a mom of 3 perfect children, I feel this in my bones. (But not my baby's glass bones.)
As a baby of the family, I can confirm
Does anyone else find it weird to hear the brothers', let's call them, cartoon voices, coming out of actual human faces?
Somehow Justin is the only one who looks like he sounds.
This whole exchange will always be one of my favourite McElroy bits. I think about “appy slices” on a daily basis. 😂
I love how much "appy slices" makes his brothers laugh
as the babiest brother who also has two older brothers, this is unbelievably accurate
As an older sibling, I can 100% relate to Travis and Justin’s frustrations 😂
my older brother got so upset when my twin and i were born because before then he wasn't just the only child, but the only GRANDchild in the family and got all the attention
The way “CLINT” read in all caps threw me for a second.
The Mcelroys are family goals man, they all have so much fun together.
This whole section is so comedically perfect that i still can’t believe it wasn’t HEAVILY SCRIPTED and edited
as an older sibling I can confirm the youngers are spoilt and what they please
As the youngest of three, OHOHOHOHOHOHO yeah. Absolutely.
I've sobbed at this multiple times
“Appy slices” awwwwww 💜💚
The last bit was pure third child energy I know this from experience
And this is why they made him eat the olive garden fettuccine

I've only ever seen the end of this clip, the elation I find in context is indescribable
The angle makes Griffin’s head look wild which I enjoy
Oh did someone film a conversation with my older brothers, dad, and me? I can’t help that I’m the favorite
I'm the younger sibling but that's not why I'm the favourite, it's because I started making dinner so there would be food ready for my mum when she got home from work when I was like 14. We were way more even in standing before that.
That would bump you up to be my favorite too. Honestly there's no way to compete with that
Clint McElroy has Justin’s body, Travis’s face, and Griffin’s hair.
I am a baby brother and I get special treatment because I’m sickly.
My favorite thing to do in this video is watch Justin's face while Clint is talking. Iconic.
Our oldest sent this to the family group chat. I wonder what he’s trying to tell us? 🤣
This clip brings me an immeasurable amount of effervescent joy. Justin’s eye roll reminds me of myself as a kid with my younger sister lol
I was the baby for 14/15 years and then my baby brother was born and i was still the baby at my moms house. I relate to all the boys at the same time.
CAKES and CREMES for Little Lord Birthday!
I didn’t know I needed this. Thank you
It’s so weird for me to see how normal families function and everyone says that the youngest gets babied but in my house where I was the youngest of 4 I might as well have not existed.
Baby Sibling Culture!
Griffin's shout energy is the best energy
whenever this video pops up i always watch it - one of my faves
watching this as a younger sister of two older siblings, this is my favorite thing
Honestly all they're voices sound so alike (other than like wittle babwy gwiffin)
I couldn't distinguish Justin and Travis' voices for like... a good few months when I started listening to them. My suggestion now is to watch spinoff shows with just one or two of them (Monster Factory, Sawbones, Shmanners, etc) to get a feel for each person without the noise of the others.

Three words: Sleepy Bois Inc.
Being babied but not the favorite is the worst.

man, it all makes fuckin sense now
I could use some appy slices actually
Griffin is the sweetest baby brother!!!!!!!!!!
He just wants sum appy slices and peanut butter 🥺

hey, some appy slices with peanut butter dip would be great right now
i freakin love these bois
i’m the youngest of three, but my older siblings were my step-siblings so there was a lot of thinly veiled animosity whenever i was being babied.
I heard what I thought was Griffin's voice come out of all three of them
No not our wee babe griffin 🤣
As a twin I just laugh at how this feeling was never introduced to me
This family dynamic is what I aspire for with my own children.
Pretty sure "discrete" is Griffin's favorite word lol
Literally says it at least once a video, Monster Factory especially
The most annoying thing is i find it inexplicably hilarious every time and have, completely by accident, adopted it as my own verbal tick irl
