Me too! I just checked my phone last night to see if there was a new episode that I somehow missed, since it’s been a hot minute since they put one out.
McElroys, my dad just passed away a couple days ago and I can't express how much your brand of comedy is helping me. Thank you so so much for just being positive people and for always trying to bring smiles into the world.

It's very silly because well, it's Monster Factory, but as an nb person this made me so, so happy. I've been hoping for an explicitly trans or nb monster for a long time, and I was so so excited by this one. And they were just.. so good about it! Immediately being super consistent with their pronouns and everything. And they didn't change anything about how they did the episode either. I think the line about it being disingenuous to not make them a peepeeperson really sorta sums it up. This series, in other hands, could have really easily become a vehicle for all sorts of racism, ableism, homophobia, etc., making fun of the characteristics of their creations and comparing it to real life minorities. Or alternatively, it could have been them just making a bunch of white men, and getting skittish about making anyone else out of fear of making it racist. But it's so utterly silly and utterly positive and utterly accepting, and they treat everyone the same. It feels like they're always rooting for their creations instead of against them, cheering them along in absurd quests that theyre drastically over or under powered in. And it felt like in this episode, with a nonbinary character, they were rooting for me.
I started my McElroy journey on Polygon's Monster Factory when you first started it. It was many years losing it to those videos, then I got a night shift job and found your podcast empire. Now coming to these videos means so much more than ever!
there's a lot to love about this episode but I'm just very pleased to hear how much the boys have improved at using singular they/them since roswell was introduced back in like 2017
I really love the videos where Justin gets an idea in his head and will not take Griffin's chaos energy so lightly, I feel like those characters are some of the wildest ones
I literally just finished the Hell that is online finals last night and today I wake up just in time for a New Monster Factory...this could not be a better start to the holidays
Hmmm I like this, but I kinda feel like Pam would be more of a mother/mentor figure to Ronnie. Pam is ancient and learned, and while Ronnie has raw talent, they're still in a rebellious phase and trying to figure things out.
Ronnie Faeburger with the truck nuts on the butt. McDonald's really went in a bold new direction and I have to say I think it was super brave, like borderline heroic.
I'm early, and yet I can hear the siren song of the name 'Ronald McDonald' floating along in the wind. I float a couple feet off the ground, huffing the stink like in a cartoon.
Dear McElroy family, How does it feel to be the only thing some of us have genuinely smiled at or found joy with for an entire year? Asking for a friend. Please keep up everything you're doing. You're truly amazing and I love all of you.
This has all my favorite souls game moments, such as griffin saying scuzi, them jokingly underplaying a serious moment, them acting like running away is a careful strategy and not fear and panic, them having a friend in game who won't actually fight, and of course, insisting it's a baby game for babies (plus special easter egg of truck nuts makes me think of pat's video)
"I'm TOTALLY NOT the prince of this kingdom with a tragic backstory that ties to the big boss" "Well that is good. Because otherwise this would be fucked up" (kicks off of ledge)
Just a fun and cool fact about Ronnie’s name: it technically is also Ronnie of the Fae! Going by German naming convention faeburger would mean something along the lines of “citizen of the Fae city”
This channel, in addition to most other McElroy created content, keeps me sane as a full-time public employee and evening part-time law student.
