This one is crazy and weird. It's Ferengi's Got Talent as a business meeting. I love it. I just need to know how you found out how my family handles holiday disputes traditionally?
I envy that particular billionaire's butler. Imagine being able to call your boss "Master Bates" on a daily basis. But oof, that thumbnail title, could have been phrased better.
Reminds me of the ST: Voyager episode where the negotiations with the Delta Quadrant species had to be completed with ritual shifts in facing and hand gestures while discussing the topic.
I have two complaints the one title doesn't match the story but that's fine. The second is human resources should have been changed to species resources
Actually in that particular line it was specifically human resources that insisted on heated tiles rather than fire pits! The Phatilids might have demanded the labrynth of hidden rooms and chambers but the humans still had say on how they were built!
Fun story. Excellent voices voices for the characters. The music was great. Only issue was, in the reading, the word "depreciation" was pronounced "deprecation".
This story was fun from the beginning to the end and that is VERY hard to do nowadays, I'll drink to that. Subscribed ages ago tho, nothing more I can do to help y'all than a like and sharing a good story to some close friends, cheers!
In the spirit of this narrative, be it noted that deprecation is a mispronunciation of depreciation. Deprecation is disapproval or negative criticism of something or someone. Depreciation is simply the loss of value over time, making it the more apt choice of the two words in context.
Finally! No omnipotent super-humans, just a smartass bureaucrat handing aliens their asses with his wits. Thats HFY. (OK, it got a bit coo-coo in second half though)
If a billionaire contacts me saying he urgently needs my rare skill tomorrow morning for a critical business meeting, and tells me to "dress better" then I'm definitely breaking out the best camo cargo pants, flouro crocs, and "beer o'clock" t-shirt.
I know someone who went like that to a job interview at a bank. He did it because originally he didn't really want that job and went just as practice for another job interview at a different company. He got the job. (it was a Jägermeister shirt)
Another bizarre story where everything comes down to interperative dance and bizarre... everything lol. Not that that's a bad thing, but someone is clearly having fun. :P
The reading is well done, and I agree with the others saying the same. However the character building leaves a lot to be desired. While it is nice to hear different names, the choices of real world names varying by only a letter also seriously detracts from the story.
Maybe make it an option to turn it off, instead. It seems like you guys read of hfy texts, and the captions are made off the recordings of those readings. Or there is a slight mistake made by the orator, but the captions remain loyal to the original hfy story. Sometimes, the captions deviate from what was said, just slightly, but enough to knock the listener out of the story. Letting us choose to turn off the text would allow the listener to choose how the story is digested, allowing for greater immersibility. You guys are doing a fantastic job, and have become my go-to for hfy stories. Keep it up, and thank you for all you have done already.
Sure, ancient linguistics were useful in the real world of this story. But let's be honest here, those were some hyperspecific circumstances that are extremly unlikely to repeat even in that world.
We're so close to 100k please subscribe!!!
I'm already subscribed on all 3 accounts!
You nearly had me until the mispronunciation of 'routes'.
Here's to the 100k tho - it's well deserved.
This title sounds fire. It reminds me of " do not recite the deep magic to me, i was there when it was written" lol
Some of us remember before the alphabet for old magic was created.
@GrigoriZhukov do you have some wisdom for us, general?
Now this is a actual human written story, no Chen’s in sight, and it’s of significantly higher quality
Naturally… starbound is the best.. particularly, hfy girl…
but who will save the galaxy without sara chen
@@briancasey3421Either Rodriguez or Murphy.
@@m.jasondoty9062 LOL 🤣🤣
Chen, Rodriguez, Murphy. Why is it always you 3?
Bates and Dezos hmm? I wonder who that's a reference to? WELCOME BACK STARBOUND!
LOL...I was thinking the same thing.... Love this channel !!!
Pretty funny I thought 😂
At least there was no Leon Dusk in the story 😂
Not to mention Juliet Roberts
Even more ancient business rites included the ceremonial smoking of the herbs. That explains everything that follows.
OH GAWD... This HAS to be made into a movie, or something... It's just TOO freakin funny !! I'm LMAO....
How anyone could read this aloud without cracking up is beyond me. Excellent.
I can't stop giggling lol pretty good writing, and strange rituals make this one.
This one is crazy and weird. It's Ferengi's Got Talent as a business meeting.
I love it.
I just need to know how you found out how my family handles holiday disputes traditionally?
Now this one was absolutely brilliant! And I love her voice and narration skill.
Gen Z as old lady possibly in her 70's. the horror of that thought.
I have missed your stories… Thank You… I appreciate your time.
An excellent if somewhat offbeat story. Starbound is never boring .
it so good to see you guys back Is waiting for Freaien &Miss Rimiki ❤
@@ajbagniewski4349 i hope we'll get our fix soon, I'm addicted ngl to ya
Insect Ferengi Dance-Off... yeah, I buy that. Carry on! lol
Kudos to the author !! Absolutely one of Thee best.... I'll probably be laughing about this episode a week from now.... Soo glad you're back !!
We need krill back you can not hide him from us forever
we can look into doing this :)
@StarboundHFY thank you I think I speak for everyone that we want krill back 👍
@StarboundHFY We want Krill lol
This screams Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.
You gave me a smile. A laugh to. Awesome job again.
Glad you enjoyed it!
"Matthew dezos" is crazy.(💀)
Wna know why his last name is dezos
I'm not 6. I know. @Ironheartempire
No Beff Jesos here
I envy that particular billionaire's butler. Imagine being able to call your boss "Master Bates" on a daily basis. But oof, that thumbnail title, could have been phrased better.
1:53 Looks like the AI wants to draw Robbie Rotten. 😂
As a cartoon 31:43
Very Douglas Adam’s, I loved it 😻
Omg. The chairs and plants comments almost made me spit out my beer. 😂
Listening to this story and I can't help but watch the illustrations that compliment the narration(which is very good). Keep up the good work.
Reminds me of the ST: Voyager episode where the negotiations with the Delta Quadrant species had to be completed with ritual shifts in facing and hand gestures while discussing the topic.
Brilliant story and narration, well done. More!
FIRST!!! BWA HA HA HA!!! So glad Starbound's back.
So Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy in spirit
When someone asks if you are a god YOU SAY YES
Were yall shadow banned? Yall were straight up gone for a few weeks.
Looks like malicious DMCA attack based on their post.
channel was down for 3 days unfortunately, we’re back now though
Wooo welcome back, Starbound! Glad to see you guys are still around!🎉
Lmao what a strange imagination the writer of this story. 😂 very very good.
I giggled at the Interpretive Dance Negotiations... and im at work... Lolz
Hell yeah, glad they are taking it up a notch
I have two complaints the one title doesn't match the story but that's fine. The second is human resources should have been changed to species resources

@dicerson9976 ok but that was not stated
Its implied through "the ancient tradition of pensativity".
Thanks narratrix 😊
Loved it! Good story and good narration! Congrats!
A most unusual juxtaposition - extremely entertaining.
I couldn't help but hear Judy from cyberpunk each time she spoke as the professor
Thank you for doing this yourself!
Great story and fabulous voice acting!! 👏
Imagine the aliens learning our language, then they hear someone say
"On bronem! That's so fucking skibidi!"
Now this is an interesting approach to the channel subject.
Fun story. Excellent voices voices for the characters. The music was great. Only issue was, in the reading, the word "depreciation" was pronounced "deprecation".
It keeps. getting. sillier. I lost it at "potluck"😆

Hmmm- very similar to the language trope used on Stargate for the Ancients!
love Stargate ❤️
This was awesome 👌
Hahahahahah the guy in the blue suit at 2:04 looks like Unknown Hinson in a suit
Very funny, very clever and very Hitchiker’s Guide!
A flesh and blood narrator? Instant sub.
So glad you guys are back. Does anyone know what happened as I was afraid I'd never hear from them again?
Welcome back HFY Girl and Starbound crew!
Best story ever!
that background music completely kills it for me.
3:10 That's quite realistic, ultra rich company would cheapen out for something so important.
This is utterly hilarious!
Finally! No omnipotent super-humans, just a smartass bureaucrat handing aliens their asses with his wits. Thats HFY. (OK, it got a bit coo-coo in second half though)
I'm glade I gave yall a chance.
i got to say what ever image gen was used i apriciate the consistancy of the human characters looks , also the subtle music in the background
Krill rocks! All I d you guys do a good job
This is hilarious. This reminds me of the time Picard became the Arbiter of Succession of the Klingon Empire.
Great story!
Yeah, none of us knew subscribing was free. Thanks for letting us know.
Very good story. I like the movie idea.
I think something broke inside my skull halfway through... I never thought In would pity a CEO.
NGL, they had me in the first half, then they went full ludicrous speed.
They’ve gone plaid!
too hilarious....i should bookmark this
The story is magnificent
God this is great.
welp, that was weird. but at least that was pretty original, kudos for that.
love it ^^
LOL, quirky and fun.
Thumbnail doesn't make sense or match the story in question, but the story itself is good.
This was really entertaining .....
Love Larissa!
If a billionaire contacts me saying he urgently needs my rare skill tomorrow morning for a critical business meeting, and tells me to "dress better" then I'm definitely breaking out the best camo cargo pants, flouro crocs, and "beer o'clock" t-shirt.
Silk Hawaiian shirt with flamingos and hula girls
@donnamlake6303 Hold on there! I'm not dressing for a funeral.
I know someone who went like that to a job interview at a bank. He did it because originally he didn't really want that job and went just as practice for another job interview at a different company.
He got the job.

Covert mission maybe? ;P
In the 5G Gym, getting even scarier.
@@kenlee5509 muscle mommy yeah 👍
Wow you're so beautiful and your hair looks amazing 🤩
The names of money-bags are funny.
Dezos... Bezos.
Bates = Gates
No Musk? 😂
It kinda took me out of the story to hear they were still using tech as anachronistic as phones…
Rule of acquisition 92 There are many paths to profit.
a nice story.
though i am still wondering why so many HFY stories insist on interpretative dance insertions...
Audio is a bit quiet
This story is fun! X3
+interpretive dance
-interest
Wish we could get rid of the closed captioning?
really?

It got stupid really fast

Potluck to the rescue! Did the church ladies authorize this story. Its amazing and tasty
I just can't stand all that dancing.
No sitting on the dance floor! All points are forfeited to the opponent! Also, your butt is on fire now, dance faster!
@@kenlee5509 But I only have two feet damn it!!!
Juliet Roberts...😀
Just glad that they chose to omit a businessman that rhymed with Tusk.
Husk
Followed soon as I saw a real voice reader.
can we get old man voice?
