The thing is cult of the lamb's world runs on cults being the norm. Cults run on dependence and people being uneducated outside of what they deem is necessary. It's not that they are stupid... it's that they are so dependent on the Lamb they will do NOTHING without the Lambs permission. Absolutely nothing. You build a farm? They will farm. You build a Janitors Closet? They will clean. They need permission to do everything and that is extreme dependence.
@@thomasjetzer2823 Cults are all about dehumanization and stripping you from your individuality. Being able to just select a new wife and feign care and love with them is just one of the perks of being a cult leader.
I love how everyone is clueless on how to do even the most basic things, but as soon as the one gets promoted to new wife she all of a sudden knows how to do literally everything
I thought as much. When I saw that animation and how it looked just like Doom and Shroom, I figured they got to animate it officially. Still want a series, the comics are cool too.
It's not about picking the best partner, but about comitting to your choice and doing everything you can to make it work. If both of you go into it with this mindset, it is very unlikely to not work out. :)
@@alexisJoniusyeah you can choose whatever you want (if they accept you) and it will be important if you commit to whatever you choose...some people don't realize that this is what important
@@sundrop2859 Without a time stamp, I can only guess that you mean when the lamb was talking to Eligos? "I was able to guide them to the right path" The answer is that, yes, they/them is used for groups of people, but it is also very commonly used when you don't know a person's gender. Think of when a family member answers a phone with an unknown person, and after hanging up, you ask "What did they say?" or phrases such as: "When a child cries, I hug them." If you revisit conversations with people, it is positively littered with such examples and is referred to as the "Singular They". Almost all the npcs in Cult of the Lamb don't have an outright gender, and some, like Eligos, are quite unusual and ambiguous, making they/them more than understandable.
I was kind of prepared for The Lamb to go through, like, four spouses in this. But the fact that once he announced that The Cat was his wife, it was like they had been married for a while and it looked like a legit and healthy relationship. It's really cute and sweet.

The fact that lambert actually cares about his marriages is something I never expected, especially how they said that they would deeply missed Tobias. I honestly thought they would let another die and remarry again.
Yeah, the fact that she even mentioned that the dress is her size(despite everyone having the same looking bodies) suggests Lambert puts as much care into planning his future marriages as he does everything else in the cult
Love how accurate to the game this is. The fact that the cultists exhibit traits, like hating marriage or reaaaallly liking soup is just such good detail.
Please, I literally BEG YOU to make this as an official series, I want to see more of THIS. It's been a long time since I was really enjoying watching anything in the animation genre, lately
I love how this isn’t just purely a “the villagers are stupid” situation like how animal crossing can be, I like how there’s actual push and pull in the jokes where no one is immune to doing something dumb and no one is immune to being humbled. This unironically felt like a real tv show. 🤣
I was just about to say this whole animation has the same energy as an Animal Crossing video titled "Isabelle Ruins Everything" (Animal Crossing Parody).
This feels less like a cartoon for UA-cam and more like a pilot episode for an actual Cult of the Lamb cartoon on a streaming service. Extremely well done.
That was the way I did it in my first run. I really wanted to get the lamb married to a cat, which I renamed Ms Fortune (just a personal preference). Sadly, I had to kill a cult member to get back the double lifespan necklace and put it on her instead. XD
This is the best Cult of the Lamb animation I have ever seen and I pray to the almighty Narinder that you make more episodes where Lamb and his wife rebuild the cult. Also I hope someone helps Peter, he only wanted to see his mom and doesn’t deserve his fate.
Lamb: MERCY IS FOR THE WEAK. YOU SHALL BE DELT WITH LATER. FOR NOW BE GONE! erg they got my elbow that motherf- oh is that the time? I gotta head back but not empty handed. (Grabs mushroom) these might go nice in a soup Was some good talk from the lamb themselves
I believe it's safe to say this is the most detailed, gameplay focused & frankly amazing animation involving the Cult of the lamb. Goes to show, this could be show worthy for adult swim.
Iunno how further it could go than it already did here. Maybe there is enough material for like a 10ep miniseries... Which certainly would be watched tho
I can see at least 3-4 seasons. Each Bishop still exists and there’s already numerous interesting characters that haven’t been seen in this short + the unique locations. Cult shenanigans can occur such as the bishops enacting curses or followers going against the lamb. A 10 episode miniseries I don’t think would do the story justice, but I don’t think a 10 season long with 4 movies simpsons style ain’t it either.
@@roland4618 eh... Short seasons maybe. Like, three eps per season, bringing us up to 12. Like, there could be, roughly, a village ep, a gathering ep, and a boss ep. Maybe a final one for the final boss I guess. It'd also depend on how long you decide the episodes to be. But the game's story just isn't that long, and while there is a lot of fun nonsense in your village, this short already essentially captured the vibe along with a ton of specific details. Can only draw out those things for so much
@@FaiGalout of everything in this video, some dude having a terrible trip laying on the ground screaming is the most accurate to having a bad trip, lol.
The announcement that Lamb started the sermon immediately after coming back from Anura is a very subtle joke and extremely relatable to anyone who's played the game.
@@dutchlinde56 because in the game, if you go on crusade, then your followers will somehow lose faith so when you get back, somebody would be a dissenter, in my experience
@@dutchlinde56 The short answer is that it tends to be the first thing players do when they get back from a raid, and it's not quite clear why. Yes, the cooldown timer is pretty much guaranteed to be full by the time you get back from a successful raid, but so are a number of other more pressing tasks. And players tend to ignore the cooldown if it runs down while they're still in town, despite an explicit pop-up message when it happens. So it's sort of one of those idiosyncratic player behaviors, like bunnyhopping.
@@dutchlinde56 Well, after a crusade, you've either lost faith for whatever reason, things regarding the church are off cooldown, and/or you got some goodies you want to use. Sermons also give you material for unlocking perks. Most people also place their churches right at the entrance to your cult, so it's the first thing you see and are reminded you need to work with. These are the reasons I can think of.
At the very least, they're already aware of it. Dunno if they've had any kind of 'talks' though. (There was a post about it on their Discord like, hours, after the video went up. 😆)
That delivery of "Life is meaningless I want to be back in control" at 5:40 is the most Rick and Morty quote outside of Rick and Morty I have ever heard
This was both hilarious in the characterization of the lamb’s relationship with their followers and really serious with their relationship with those they choose to be their spouse and their reaction to their followers turning against them.
Yeah, honestly for the marriage thing to start as a bit of a joke with the whole "Alright, you are the next spouse now", both are shown to care about eachother and the cult.
Funnily enough the one spouse I got In the game was one that seemed competent and was the one I felt was Irreplaceable "Okay so you took my Cult, am I supposed to- WAIT IS THAT BARBATOS, I'LL SLAUGHTER YOU!" even better Is the fact he was one of the mini bosses you fight and recruit
Bad news: * Everything burnt down * We sacrificed almost all the cult members Good news: * The outhouse is cleared out * We sacrificed almost all the cult members
Don't forget ToWW outright showering faith (it occurs to me I don't actually know what the name for the points you get from sermons) for all them sacrifices. Might take a bit to rebuild but we're going to have new weapons! new curses! more hearts! :D
Well he has two survivors- the cat and the dog people. So there's a good chance of returning. That and one or two crusades. HOPEFULLY the cat can actually freaking feed the two of them.
@@jacemoran1190 If sheep are supposed to be intellectually superior, then that explains why the prophecy called for a lamb to be brought before Narinder. The last of his kind, and the last competent enough to face off against Nirinder's siblings.
This was so genuinely incredible, like every voice fit the characters, the animation was perfect, you couldnt find better CotL content aside the game and novel of you tried
I’d binge this without hesitation, this is amazing. The way Lamb still cared about their new wife, the hilarious logic of the game put into animation, the cliffhanger! why must this be a one time thing!?
Note: Not a cliffhanger. A cliffhanger is specifically an ending meant to tease the next thing, usually with a plothook at the end of an episode or book, or by building tension and promising a release to that tension next episode. This is an open ending. It is completely concludes the story it tells, but doesnt take our protangist out of action. Other adventures and stories can easily follow it, but its not incomplete if those stories never get told.
@@TheWizGamer_ The animator didn't start doing official animations for the game until AFTER this animation had been done. The team behind the game saw this animation and hired him to do more of these animations afterwards.
It's illegal for an animation to be this good with such great plot and comedy involved. And now I really am willing to see a continuation. Hopefully in the future time being.
I felt like I was living a day in the game. Everything in this animation hit the nail on the head! I would love to see this team’s version of how he started out before the cult.
@@camramaster They still have their wife and James. They can rebuild from that. If they need any more, I'm sure Helob can go another day without eating.
I love how you can't actually use the mushrooms to make food in the game, but the actual use for them in game does the exact opposite of what happens in the animation. A bowl really does make a difference huh.
Helps that that the leadups to ingesting the mushrooms are different. Here it is an argument with Lambert followed by a meal while in game it is a religious ritual and thus more controlled
In fairness Sozo demonstrates quite well how the mushrooms can make you paranoid and violent. The ritual likely guides the reaction of those who consume it into something more positive.
im not sure if anyone’s pointed it out nor if this was intentional or just a coincidence but the fact that most of the names of his disciples are “Luke, Peter, Simon, Tobias, Jude, James” is just so clever
such a good detail that everyone was upset before getting hypnotized, meaning their happiness level was gonna stay at the same place and result in all of them becoming dissenters
@@kymberlytowns8583 been a while so i dont remember, but i know you can do the mushroom ritual and have less than 100% happiness and stuck at about 70%, since i forgot i had them mushroom’d and tried to do a bonfire and it didnt increase
I don't know why you think this is a start for a series. Probably The Lamb tries to restart the cult from scratch and make sure a disaster from within never happens again?
i really love the detail 3:56 where the lamb dips their head, closes their eyes, and then angrily puts their arms down to immediately change direction of what they were angry about. Something about it feels INHUMANELY natural, like being so frustrated that you were not able to finish what you were saying JUST because you found the culprit of the problem. Not only it is cool attention to gestures and emotional detail for the animators, its so well handled by the voice actors and writers too
What I would give to have a COTL full animated series 😩 I can’t stop watching this video. Also Is that Narinder/The Red Crown speaking through the Lamb at the start?
This is literally perfect. The animation, the voice acting, the lines. The actual gameplay. The comedy HITS. I was so shocked by the actual emotional moments wtf please make more
@@ahmadmalaki8364 didn’t you harass a voice actor just because he “sounds” like morty. all it takes is just to go into the credits and see that it’s not justin.
This is literally an animated show. I don’t know how you guys did it, you made my day, like you somehow made Lambert’s voice work and the whole short story and AAAaAAHhHHhhHH. HOW are you guys not have your own animated show on Netflix or something??
probably because netflix wouldn't let have freedom not that being on netflex wouldnt be cool i do think its cause it be hard for them being able to work there
This was by far one of your best animations! This was just like watching a cartoon network original only ten times better!! I'm still laughing and I've watched it 3 times in a row. Just excellent work!!!!
I love how the Lamb has a voice that sounds a little bit like Dipper from Gravity Falls, given the Cult of the Lamb developers declared an animation of Lambert doing the Lamby Lamby dance to be canon. The casting, dialogue, animation, and humor is fantastic, and I'd love if Cult of the Lamb got a full animated series like this, this is great!
This is genuinely one of the most impressive things I think you’ve made in while. Not that the others are bad, this is just insane. You need to stop making such good pilot episodes for series that will never exist!

The fact that lambert actually cares about his marriages is something I never expected, especially how they said that they would deeply missed Tobias. I honestly thought they would let another die and remarry again.
Yeah, the fact that she even mentioned that the dress is her size(despite everyone having the same looking bodies) suggests Lambert puts as much care into planning his future marriages as he does everything else in the cult
When your immortal and everyone around you seems to die every 15 days, you move on pretty quickly.

Please, I literally BEG YOU to make this as an official series, I want to see more of THIS. It's been a long time since I was really enjoying watching anything in the animation genre, lately
I recommend 👆👆 🍄🍫💊
This shit is terrible what are you talking about? You people have a shit sense of humor
I second this.
I third it
I forth it
The animation, plot and voice acting all goes so freaking hard, it could really pass for an official animation
Dude, totally. At the begining I actually tought it was official!
I though the animation studio paired with CotL took hand in this at first, extremely faithful to the animation style.
Honestly, i hope the official creators see this and make a collaboration together
When I saw this on another platform I actually thought it WAS an official animation that might be on Netflix or something
I was wondering why there was a series on a game. I honestly thought it was real.
1:50 how the lamb just says "we're married now" got me rolling 🤣
I love how this isn’t just purely a “the villagers are stupid” situation like how animal crossing can be, I like how there’s actual push and pull in the jokes where no one is immune to doing something dumb and no one is immune to being humbled. This unironically felt like a real tv show. 🤣
I played this game a while back. This is very accurate. Especially where the followers would backstab you even tho you do almost everything for them.
I was just about to say this whole animation has the same energy as an Animal Crossing video titled "Isabelle Ruins Everything" (Animal Crossing Parody).
This feels less like a cartoon for UA-cam and more like a pilot episode for an actual Cult of the Lamb cartoon on a streaming service. Extremely well done.
I know. They should make it into an actual series.
I thought that's what is was at first.
Yeah, they even have opening and ending credits, so there’s also that.
Hell I'd binge it

I just noticed lamb knows the name of every one, good detail
Would be weird if he doesn't know his name, since he was the one who's name them
Not exactly.
I do play cult of the lamb and can confirm I remember every followers name
he literally pointed at someone random and said "YOU, we are married now" unless her name is "you" I dont think he knows all the names
plot twist : Lambert doesn't know any name of the flock, they just say random names and changing everyone names constantly.
Kitty and Lamb being relationship goals in just one episode
well judging from the game... just pray is STAYED like that
That was the way I did it in my first run. I really wanted to get the lamb married to a cat, which I renamed Ms Fortune (just a personal preference). Sadly, I had to kill a cult member to get back the double lifespan necklace and put it on her instead. XD
@@tolvajtamas8567 simply a consequence of life! The cult member probably wouldn't have buried your ex-spouse either!
Have to say, those two are pretty good together. Given they've been married for like, an hour.
This is the best Cult of the Lamb animation I have ever seen and I pray to the almighty Narinder that you make more episodes where Lamb and his wife rebuild the cult. Also I hope someone helps Peter, he only wanted to see his mom and doesn’t deserve his fate.
Luke: "Dude, it just kinda falls where it falls, I don't know what to tell you."
That really got me. So true.
Lamb: MERCY IS FOR THE WEAK. YOU SHALL BE DELT WITH LATER. FOR NOW BE GONE! erg they got my elbow that motherf- oh is that the time? I gotta head back but not empty handed. (Grabs mushroom) these might go nice in a soup
Was some good talk from the lamb themselves
"I didn't even have to push last time"
that's my favorite line @@dracothewarrior4316
The rabbit girl is by far my favorite. Just wails on the dude for being dumb and gets “excited” when the tentacles come out. My kind of gal.
Yuki! My favorite as well. I like the way they takes care a bidniss: 2:33, 4:22
Ive watched this like 7 times now and i want to know what simon did to deserve being the community punching bag
Yuki: Oh, I like where this is going!
Yes
I don't know if she even saw the tentacle for what it was given her mental state
I'd like an entire series, please.
The bunny's voice is awesome.
I believe it's safe to say this is the most detailed, gameplay focused & frankly amazing animation involving the Cult of the lamb. Goes to show, this could be show worthy for adult swim.
Iunno how further it could go than it already did here. Maybe there is enough material for like a 10ep miniseries...
Which certainly would be watched tho
I can see at least 3-4 seasons. Each Bishop still exists and there’s already numerous interesting characters that haven’t been seen in this short + the unique locations. Cult shenanigans can occur such as the bishops enacting curses or followers going against the lamb.
A 10 episode miniseries I don’t think would do the story justice, but I don’t think a 10 season long with 4 movies simpsons style ain’t it either.
@@roland4618 eh... Short seasons maybe. Like, three eps per season, bringing us up to 12. Like, there could be, roughly, a village ep, a gathering ep, and a boss ep.
Maybe a final one for the final boss I guess.
It'd also depend on how long you decide the episodes to be. But the game's story just isn't that long, and while there is a lot of fun nonsense in your village, this short already essentially captured the vibe along with a ton of specific details. Can only draw out those things for so much
the voices, the side characters, the comedy the animation OH MY GOD. PLEASE. IF THIS BECOMES A SERIES I AM *ALL* FOR IT.

That made and still makes me wheeze,even though I probably shouldn’t because I have a cough due to unknown(probably just puberty)
As I read the Cult of the Lamb comics, I can't stop using this dudes voice for the lamb.
The announcement that Lamb started the sermon immediately after coming back from Anura is a very subtle joke and extremely relatable to anyone who's played the game.
I don't get it, could you explain it to me?
@@dutchlinde56 because in the game, if you go on crusade, then your followers will somehow lose faith so when you get back, somebody would be a dissenter, in my experience
@@dutchlinde56 The short answer is that it tends to be the first thing players do when they get back from a raid, and it's not quite clear why. Yes, the cooldown timer is pretty much guaranteed to be full by the time you get back from a successful raid, but so are a number of other more pressing tasks. And players tend to ignore the cooldown if it runs down while they're still in town, despite an explicit pop-up message when it happens. So it's sort of one of those idiosyncratic player behaviors, like bunnyhopping.
@@dutchlinde56 Well, after a crusade, you've either lost faith for whatever reason, things regarding the church are off cooldown, and/or you got some goodies you want to use. Sermons also give you material for unlocking perks. Most people also place their churches right at the entrance to your cult, so it's the first thing you see and are reminded you need to work with. These are the reasons I can think of.
I've never done my sermons after crusades. I do them at the beginning of the day before going on one lol
You need to get in touch with the creators and make this an official series, I want this so badly.
At the very least, they're already aware of it. Dunno if they've had any kind of 'talks' though.
(There was a post about it on their Discord like, hours, after the video went up. 😆)
Never knew it was a game, but was recommended by UA-cam, now I want to see a tv show 😆
That sounds like a terrible idea
Yesssss
@@ahmadmalaki8364 why does it sound like a terrible idea? Did you see watch the episode? I thought it look rather good

Can this be the pilot or first episode?
This was both hilarious in the characterization of the lamb’s relationship with their followers and really serious with their relationship with those they choose to be their spouse and their reaction to their followers turning against them.
Yeah, honestly for the marriage thing to start as a bit of a joke with the whole "Alright, you are the next spouse now", both are shown to care about eachother and the cult.
the followers are kinda dumb...but the leader's wife is pretty cute
@@juliamalc8382 Furry...
Funnily enough the one spouse I got In the game was one that seemed competent and was the one I felt was Irreplaceable "Okay so you took my Cult, am I supposed to- WAIT IS THAT BARBATOS, I'LL SLAUGHTER YOU!" even better Is the fact he was one of the mini bosses you fight and recruit
The only reason why they revolted is cos there high af
I need a part two, this genuinely just feels like a cult of the lamb show and I LOVE IT
We need a cotl show, preferably like this
❤
Yeah, I thought it was an actual official show with (more) episodes and stuff.
And it almost reach the 12 minute episodic formula!
I would LOVE that, my husband’s been watching me play the game and he was DYING while watching this with me 😂
This completely captures everything I feel when I come back from a crusade and everything just went wrong for no reason.
I find it so funny that the cat he ends up marrying is literally the ONLY one (other than lamb, of course) that has ANY common sense.
Maybe cultists actually get smarter when they marry the Lamb, or it just pure luck
No wonder the lamb chose her immediately without even hesitating
What about the bunny
Nah I feel sad for the one who was put in a prison for disenting he just wanted to see his mom again
Still didint bury Tobias or cooked anything to eat
Bad news:
* Everything burnt down
* We sacrificed almost all the cult members
Good news:
* The outhouse is cleared out
* We sacrificed almost all the cult members
And the best part? The cat wife witnessed all those sacrifices. Her faith & loyalty are gonna go through the roof!
Don't forget ToWW outright showering faith (it occurs to me I don't actually know what the name for the points you get from sermons) for all them sacrifices. Might take a bit to rebuild but we're going to have new weapons! new curses! more hearts! :D
Also good news they all died in the family guy pose
the other good news is that peter is still alive
Well he has two survivors- the cat and the dog people. So there's a good chance of returning. That and one or two crusades. HOPEFULLY the cat can actually freaking feed the two of them.
I can imagine Nirandar just looking at this shit going down and being like "Goddamn it, did he really think people could do things themselves?!"
I also think if Leshy was there he'd be like "Oooh,Chaos! I like it!"
@@claudialuquepazos2934Heket and Shamura are watching all this go down with Popcorn and Kallamar is just rolling their eyes
Ya know, it’s amazing out of all of the creatures Nirandar chose, it seems he got lucky and found the most competent.
@@jacemoran1190 If sheep are supposed to be intellectually superior, then that explains why the prophecy called for a lamb to be brought before Narinder.
The last of his kind, and the last competent enough to face off against Nirinder's siblings.
This was so genuinely incredible, like every voice fit the characters, the animation was perfect, you couldnt find better CotL content aside the game and novel of you tried
I’d binge this without hesitation, this is amazing. The way Lamb still cared about their new wife, the hilarious logic of the game put into animation, the cliffhanger! why must this be a one time thing!?
Note: Not a cliffhanger. A cliffhanger is specifically an ending meant to tease the next thing, usually with a plothook at the end of an episode or book, or by building tension and promising a release to that tension next episode.
This is an open ending. It is completely concludes the story it tells, but doesnt take our protangist out of action. Other adventures and stories can easily follow it, but its not incomplete if those stories never get told.
@@ijones36Thank you.
When I saw it, I thought it was an original animation from the creators, it was really good, congratulations
Yeah, very well done! 👏
Maybe because this animator did official stuff for Cult Of The Lamb like the lofi Lamb and dressing animation. This is essentially canon.

Me too
@@TheWizGamer_ The animator didn't start doing official animations for the game until AFTER this animation had been done. The team behind the game saw this animation and hired him to do more of these animations afterwards.
It's illegal for an animation to be this good with such great plot and comedy involved.
And now I really am willing to see a continuation. Hopefully in the future time being.

is a nice way to start a marriage.
3:08 not the family guy death pose-
No replies? I’ll fix that.

This might be the best animation for cult of the lamb
Okay but like seriously the pacing the humor the animation the voice acting just back to back to back is 100% tv show worthy I absolutely love it.
Absolutely would want just 10 minute bite sized episodes in this format, absolutely flawless and can really get a lot more eyes on the game.
I felt like I was living a day in the game. Everything in this animation hit the nail on the head! I would love to see this team’s version of how he started out before the cult.
Next day too. Do they clean up, or move on?
@@camramaster They still have their wife and James. They can rebuild from that. If they need any more, I'm sure Helob can go another day without eating.
You need to build a janitors closet to make them clean it up
I love how you can't actually use the mushrooms to make food in the game, but the actual use for them in game does the exact opposite of what happens in the animation.
A bowl really does make a difference huh.
Helps that that the leadups to ingesting the mushrooms are different. Here it is an argument with Lambert followed by a meal while in game it is a religious ritual and thus more controlled
In fairness Sozo demonstrates quite well how the mushrooms can make you paranoid and violent. The ritual likely guides the reaction of those who consume it into something more positive.
Why are you guys talking in paragraphs?
Yes.

This genuinly feels like the start of an official series because it's done so well
I don't know why you think this is a start for a series. Probably The Lamb tries to restart the cult from scratch and make sure a disaster from within never happens again?
“Alright you, we’re married now”💀💀💀
I laughed at the marriage part. It's pretty much sums up what happens usually when you lose a married follower
unless if you marry the one who waits, hes immortal
Especially at the part just like in the game which someone might lose moral due to jealousy of not being the one to get married. XD
Speak for yourself. I resurrect mine everytime.
Nah im commited to barbatos, he’s reviving every time he dies
I just revived my spouse over and over for the entire game because I grew attached to her. She was like level 25 by the end haha
i really love the detail 3:56 where the lamb dips their head, closes their eyes, and then angrily puts their arms down to immediately change direction of what they were angry about. Something about it feels INHUMANELY natural, like being so frustrated that you were not able to finish what you were saying JUST because you found the culprit of the problem.
Not only it is cool attention to gestures and emotional detail for the animators, its so well handled by the voice actors and writers too
I hate but also love how accurate this is to the game..down to lambs possible personality.. and the fact he has to do ALMOST EVERYTHING
What I would give to have a COTL full animated series 😩 I can’t stop watching this video. Also Is that Narinder/The Red Crown speaking through the Lamb at the start?
It's just the Lamb speaking in a deeper voice.
