I enjoy the subtle storytelling of the older the brother, the less refined of a robot they are. Justin is a little wind-up boy, Travis is big box boy, and Griffin is Noodly Thin boy
Archim3des It could also just be a portmanteau of “mechanical” and “McElroy.” Gotta admit, though, that I love the idea that these are actually huge mechs being piloted by the brothers in a world full of massive furniture, except Justin got stuck with a relatively tiny one.
My favorite parts will always be the Jacob meetings, though. “I _am_ a work-in-progress! God's still figuring me out!” _“JAAAAACOOOOB IT IS MEEEE. ＪＡＡＡＡＡＣＯＯＯＢ. 𝕁𝔸ℂ𝕆𝔹”_ “‘Oh thank God. I-at least-that's a lip and _that's_ a lip, and those are cheeks, so we at least have that goi-‘ _Ohhh man,_ he's still right up on him though.” “Jacob sees you and he instantly winks out of existence because if you're human, what is he?”
Sylph it’s like Frankenstein if Victor loved his creation and then went “your name,,, is Jean-Pierre Glaucoma” and the monster killed him anyway bc he was a dipshit
I honestly just appreciate the amount of creativity that went into this. It’s a nice break from a lot of the more common “drawing stationary people at a desk” version of fan animation.
the smooth "bazinga" and griffins insidious laughter! the human hands! the travis moment! the busting out of truck shepherd from his genetic-modification chamber! ur whole style and the work u put into these just blows my mind. the detail and creativity is so good and just!!!! holy cow!!!!!! thank you thank you!
my favourite bit was justin dancing on the buttons he's sooo smol I love him!!! and griffins robot so clearly is the chaos robot these animations make my heart so happy, thank you!!!
I love how with the robot design you managed to make Justin's kind of out of breath raspy laugh even better by having it just be him completely shutting down.
the framed shrimp on the wall of their "dad's lab! for dads!" lab..... gods g.r.f.n. spraying his spit (oil??) all over rustin g.r.f.n. yelling NO in rustin's face & making him fall over truck's eyes turning red & doing the cursed emoji meme when rustin says 'i hate it' also..... the mental epilogue i have of clint coming home to find that his boys put THEIR DAD'S toy in the matrix oven and wrecked his lab....... god im lov dis and lov u
You know they still had to make a cut to pull off the joke in the beginning. “...there's only one thing you can do.” “What is that, Griffin?” ----- “Okay, and CUT HERE. Alright, closed the game. Loading the save editor...” “Wait, what _can_ we do?” “Yeah, hold on a sec, wait til it's ready.” ... “Don't leave me hanging here!” _“HANG ON IT'S ALMOST DONE._ God. Okay, it's up now. Cut back here, aaaaand, oh wait can you see it on the screen share?” “Yeah.” “Sweet. Video synch 1-2-3, aaaaand ----- _Jack into the Matrix.”_
There is some powerful Invader Zim energy about this and I only mean this as the highest compliment. The beautiful, expressive, chaotic animation just perfectly captures the fun of Monster Factory. Absolutely wonderful
The way that this revealed Truk Shepard's cursed face polygons shooting off into infinity, blasting out through the door before even his body emerges, is just such a flawless way to render the horror of it.
This is without a doubt one of the greatest Mcelroy animations period. Your style is fucking incredible and I love it very much. Thank you for sharing these with the world.
EVERYTHING about this video is delightful - the robot designs for the brothers, the occassional photoshopped realistic body parts, the Energy and Bounce in certain areas, how smooth the animation can be, how original the story within the animatic is...... this is a PURE WORK OF ART
I love your style, I love the “mech-Elroys” design concept, and I _really_ love the fact that geometry-clipping-blob-monster Truck Shepard is literally more animated than Justin and Griffin. That's a genuine film/television technique used to make monsters look creepier, and you pulled it off flawlessly.
i love that with the mech-elroys this is just robots manufacturing humans instead of the other way around. then again im not sure we can call that thing a human
Watching my boys in robot form, it feels so honest and sweet and the design is just, mwah; I love you thank you every time you update I download it and watch em to make me smile and giggle thank youuuu
Okay, has anyone mentioned yet the use of your arrows as animation shorthand when going through the slower frames? Because that is bloody brilliant as a shorthand. It's almost unnoticeable, but it makes the animation flow so so so much smoother. This is amazing. I love it. I come back to watch it multiple times a week. Thank you for this.
This is so good I love these robots!! And I think I’ve watched this episode of monster factory more than any others, it’s so good and so upsetting and you captured that perfectly!
This is such a beautiful visualisation of the behind the scenes look into Griffin's terrible, awful Monster Factory. I wish this were a legit cartoon series. It's so wonderful, great job!
I love how perfectly the way you've designed Griffin and Justin's robots manage to Exactly represent their respective energies. It's incredible work and you should be very proud of it!
when i die, they're going to sort through my memories to see if i had a good life at the top of the memories will be robot mcelroys and they will know, that if all else sucked ass, i still found joy here
I love your mcelbots so much. I find myself coming back to this and the New Alphabet animatic again and again. Something about the way you draw them captures their essences so well, and the movement and setting makes it all really dynamic and fun as hell to watch!!! Mooooore more more please ❤️
Repackaging this classic Goof in a way that still brings something new and hilarious to the table is no easy feat, but you've done it!! Love the art style, love the expressiveness, love the love you clearly put into it
Justin being the smallest but the oldest brother makes sense, if you think Mechanic Clint McElroy first built Justin small as a test robot. Then Travis comes next, and he’s a big blocky bot, so this is Clint making his AI bigger but still not perfectly adaptable. Then the baby brother Griffin comes along, and he’s obviously the most flexibly designed robot yet, as big as a normal sized person.
Love this animation so much! Travis peeking his head in and noping out. Justin prancing over the controls. The background darkening over Griffin's laugh. Sooo much good stuff in here!
already a hysterical animation for a hysterical video but the 2:19 "Put this one back in the oven!" get a loada this guy part sent me over the edge. this is perfect
This is possibly my favorite Monster Factory episode, so I'm absolutely delighted to see a part from it reimagined in your style. Thanks so much for sharing another one of your masterpieces!
When his robot pincer hand turned into a blue human hand for a few frames that was deeply upsetting to me. I will be expecting a letter of apology promptly.
ohhhh my god this is. amazing. I love literally everything, from the horrifying truck, to justin rolling around fuckin shit up, travis peeking in, griffins hand turning into a human hand, the human eyes, i just. i’m not going to list everything i saw in this video but EVERYTHING WAS GOOD AND I HOPE YOU MAKE MORE OF THESE BECAUSE THEY LITERALLY BRIGHTENED MY DAY SO MUCH IM BLIND
oh my god you took the mad scientist vibes from this ep and somehow made them so much better, I love this visualization of the bit, ESPECIALLY the added sound effects. the little monster noises, the best buy warranty being ripped, god this was so good
The way you transformed the boys into such creative robots is amazing. Honestly though I would watch an original series with these characters designs. Your style really evokes some great 2000s era cartoons for me and I love it
Justin crawling around as the tiny little robot..... Griffin's human hand at the end.... there's just so many tiny little things about this that make it incredible and hilarious!!!
I love the narrative of Clint McElroy , scientist man, making 3 good robot boys that cause havoc in his lab
@@marleytarver9759 known embezzler Clint McElroy
i’m PRETTY sure this is the plot of mega man
powerpuff lads
I enjoy the subtle storytelling of the older the brother, the less refined of a robot they are. Justin is a little wind-up boy, Travis is big box boy, and Griffin is Noodly Thin boy
@@Pomlithe someone finally pointed it out lmao
Has anyone tried to coin the term “mech-elroys” for this animation style.
Benjamin Ehren OMG... no joke you are infinitely smarter than i am
I love this and i love you
I saw another commentator call them the McElbots
Yes this is great but that would assume that there would be humans inside each robot
Archim3des It could also just be a portmanteau of “mechanical” and “McElroy.”
Gotta admit, though, that I love the idea that these are actually huge mechs being piloted by the brothers in a world full of massive furniture, except Justin got stuck with a relatively tiny one.
Making Justin a mischievous little stinker is so on brand.
I genuinely giggled when he scampered over the buttons n dials. Perfect.
And accidentally/on purpose covering up the warning sign just before their failed "slow slide" emerged. Brilliant
the part where griffin can't find any words other than "whoops" and "uh oh" is one of my favorite moments in all of monster factory
A Legit Mini Panic Attack Right There
Hey!!!
He threw a 'whoops a daisy' in there too
I love how Travis poked his head in for a second and then was just like NOPE and ducked back out
02:11 for those who, like me, missed it
@@KaelWrit ah thanks, I normally add a timestamp when I make comments like this but I forgot this time
Hey what are you guys - nevermind
I read this at the very moment it happened and it was just so perfect
TRA v1-S
My favorite line from Griffin in that episode: "I'm going to make his face an asterisk!"
"He looks like 7 pterodactyls.."
TheDarkstar670 “he has a face you could tie a boat to.”
My favorite parts will always be the Jacob meetings, though.
“I _am_ a work-in-progress! God's still figuring me out!”
_“JAAAAACOOOOB IT IS MEEEE. ＪＡＡＡＡＡＣＯＯＯＢ. 𝕁𝔸ℂ𝕆𝔹”_
“‘Oh thank God. I-at least-that's a lip and _that's_ a lip, and those are cheeks, so we at least have that goi-‘ _Ohhh man,_ he's still right up on him though.”
“Jacob sees you and he instantly winks out of existence because if you're human, what is he?”
I'll save you the time, it's a 10 and a half large.
Mine is "he looks at you and winks out of existence because if you're human what is he"
Victor when he created Frankenstein's monster was like:
Uh oh
Uh oh
Whoops uh oh
“Put this one back in the oven! He needs time to cook!”
If you ask me, Monster Factory as a whole, but specifically the Truck Shepard episode, is just a very abstract retelling of Frankenstein
Sylph it’s like Frankenstein if Victor loved his creation and then went “your name,,, is Jean-Pierre Glaucoma” and the monster killed him anyway bc he was a dipshit
@@sidereumcantor1525 lmao
(Btw, I know this isn't important, but just for the record, the Monster did not kill Victor. He died of exhaustion)
This just has such tv show energy, like I want the wacky adventures of the mcelbots to be a cartoon showwww
So true
Yes!!! I was thinking about this!
I honestly just appreciate the amount of creativity that went into this. It’s a nice break from a lot of the more common “drawing stationary people at a desk” version of fan animation.
I know exactly what "animators" you're referencing and it's a real shame they get more views than this
The McElbots are the greatest thing on this earth. You found a way to improve what was believed to be perfection.
Griffin: *Makes an abomination straight out of akira*
Griffin: Whoops uh oh.
Love all that smoke pouring out of Justin when he wheeze laughs omg its such a good visual depiction of it
UH OH
UH OH
OH NO
WHOOPS
UH OH
WHOOPSIE DAISY
PinkApocalypse big money no whammies
UH NO WOOPPSIES PUT THIS ONE BACK IN THE OVEN WHOOPSI DOODLE YIKES
the smooth "bazinga" and griffins insidious laughter! the human hands! the travis moment! the busting out of truck shepherd from his genetic-modification chamber! ur whole style and the work u put into these just blows my mind. the detail and creativity is so good and just!!!! holy cow!!!!!! thank you thank you!

I am absolutely obsessed with the robot design for these sweet boys. Your style is amazing. :')
The sudden incredibly smooth animation for Truck emerging from his containment at 1:57 was genuinely very jarring. 10/10
mom: we have commander Shepard at home
Commander Truck Shepard at home:
I love tiny Justin bot crawling around the controls and pressing things, and then later Travis starting to walk in and then nopeing out lmao
Lol I just realized too the “Dad’s lab, for dads!” sign
i'll never get over how much i love the mcelbots but ESPECIALLY griffin, there's something about this design that feels so correct
I love how with the robot design you managed to make Justin's kind of out of breath raspy laugh even better by having it just be him completely shutting down.
I love the idea of two robots building a horrific biological creature in a lab instead of the other way around
The design of the McElroys as robots delights me so
The robot sons hijcked Clint's most recent project and are now frantically trying to find a way to undo the damage before he comes back into the lab
Dodging those face spikes was an excellent use of WHOOPS-UH-OH-UH-OH-OH-NO-WHOOPS
2:15 the spin on little Justin is so good
the framed shrimp on the wall of their "dad's lab! for dads!" lab..... gods
g.r.f.n. spraying his spit (oil??) all over rustin
g.r.f.n. yelling NO in rustin's face & making him fall over
truck's eyes turning red & doing the cursed emoji meme when rustin says 'i hate it'
also..... the mental epilogue i have of clint coming home to find that his boys put THEIR DAD'S toy in the matrix oven and wrecked his lab....... god
im lov dis and lov u
I LOVE IT when Griffin enters his MATRIX-HACKING MODE
I love how they're just messing with their dads stuff
The “You dork” gives me life
I really like the comedy-bot style aswell as the highly detailed, dark, frames that are used for dramatic effect
You know they still had to make a cut to pull off the joke in the beginning.
“...there's only one thing you can do.” “What is that, Griffin?”
-----
“Okay, and CUT HERE. Alright, closed the game. Loading the save editor...”
“Wait, what _can_ we do?”
“Yeah, hold on a sec, wait til it's ready.”
...
“Don't leave me hanging here!”
_“HANG ON IT'S ALMOST DONE._ God. Okay, it's up now. Cut back here, aaaaand, oh wait can you see it on the screen share?”
“Yeah.”
“Sweet. Video synch 1-2-3, aaaaand
-----
_Jack into the Matrix.”_
Justin wheezing and just blasting off into smoke is just absolutely adorable
the level of detail in this is staggering and so creative, i love grfn entering DISTRESS MODE at 2:07
tiny juicebot stepping around the buttons is my favorite image ever
God I love these designs, also? How grfn went into alarm mode with an uh-oh siren? Beautiful
1:15 I feel like this bit of smooth animation goes unappreciated
Every time Griffin says ‘uh oh’ my life gets a _liiiiittllleee_ longer.
can i just say how the real hand that griffin has when he says put this one back in the oven is amazing
There is some powerful Invader Zim energy about this and I only mean this as the highest compliment. The beautiful, expressive, chaotic animation just perfectly captures the fun of Monster Factory. Absolutely wonderful

This is such a specific animation style that works so well for the vibe of the show.
so few monster factory animatics, and even fewer ones that are especially creative! love this
This is so good I love these robots!! And I think I’ve watched this episode of monster factory more than any others, it’s so good and so upsetting and you captured that perfectly!
Upsettingly GOOD!👏 YES!
This is such a beautiful visualisation of the behind the scenes look into Griffin's terrible, awful Monster Factory. I wish this were a legit cartoon series. It's so wonderful, great job!

You have quickly become my favorite MBMBAM animator
Repackaging this classic Goof in a way that still brings something new and hilarious to the table is no easy feat, but you've done it!! Love the art style, love the expressiveness, love the love you clearly put into it
i am in love with your mcelroybot animatic universe
Grifbot laughing manically over pelican man is absolute perfection.
the added foley, the cinematography, the visual reinterpretations in this are just too amazing

Then Travis comes next, and he’s a big blocky bot, so this is Clint making his AI bigger but still not perfectly adaptable. Then the baby brother Griffin comes along, and he’s obviously the most flexibly designed robot yet, as big as a normal sized person.

This is legitimately better than the original. A rare if ever feat for an animatic
Love this animation so much! Travis peeking his head in and noping out. Justin prancing over the controls. The background darkening over Griffin's laugh. Sooo much good stuff in here!
i love when grfns "uh oh" alarm goes off and justin has to bring him back to reality
So wonderfully expressive and I love long Griffin and little Justin I want plushies
Your poses and expressions are always wonderful but those couple fully-animated bits are ABSOLUTELY stunning
I love that one of those 32 discrete bones that they can manipulate is just "THE bone"
already a hysterical animation for a hysterical video but the 2:19 "Put this one back in the oven!" get a loada this guy part sent me over the edge. this is perfect
The amount of good this is is immense.
I love how they said it got too upsetting too fast and then immediately made it more upsetting
This is possibly my favorite Monster Factory episode, so I'm absolutely delighted to see a part from it reimagined in your style. Thanks so much for sharing another one of your masterpieces!

0:46 filled my heart in a way that I didn’t know it could be filled
the whoops oops uh oh spiel has fallen into my speech pattern and i have never recovered since
oh my god you took the mad scientist vibes from this ep and somehow made them so much better, I love this visualization of the bit, ESPECIALLY the added sound effects. the little monster noises, the best buy warranty being ripped, god this was so good
"i have no jokes, he's the shame of god!!" is an underrated line
The way you transformed the boys into such creative robots is amazing. Honestly though I would watch an original series with these characters designs. Your style really evokes some great 2000s era cartoons for me and I love it
Playing the Illusive Man theme in the background during this was a stroke of pure GENIUS!
Not like my wife's. That was just a normal stroke.
I LOVE THIS. I love how it’s not just cartoon versions of how they look irl and I love how robot Justin is so tiny.
This... is perfect. I'm genuinely in awe at how precisely this conveys the humor and emotion of this clip.
I like how at 2:12 Travis shows up for A SECOND and quietly nopes the fuck outta there
Something I love about this animatic among all the other Fanimatics is that yours are actually an animatic and not a storyboard
“Oh god the possibilities Justin, they’re so delicious” idk why but I’m OBSESSED WITH THIS PART IN PARTICULAR
YES WE’VE BEEN BLESSED WITH ANOTHER OMG
Honestly the framing of this whole animation is genius and deserves to be studied
God, this is incredible. Justin-bot jumping on the buttons, the horror movie angle when the second Truck busts out, all of it. 10/10
Your decision to make them robots was 100000000000000% destiny
I LOVE THIS!! hahaha robot griffin and robot justin are too perfect, i love how much you've captured the mad scientist feel. 10/10!! 😍😍😍😂😂😂
0:25 I fucking love the list of bones here and I admire your ability to not make a single sex joke
The incredibly smooth animation on the sinister laughter at 1:33 was so FANTASTIC
If you unlike this video you’re wrong and dumb.
This is so good.
Griffin randomly getting a blue human hand fucking demolished me
tiny robo justin is the cutest thing to ever exist and I would die to protect him
Justin crawling around as the tiny little robot..... Griffin's human hand at the end.... there's just so many tiny little things about this that make it incredible and hilarious!!!
Little bitty robot Justin is the greatest thing??? I love this so much
This remains one of the best things ever made. Bless you, gearlic.
Bless you for the moment Travis looks in then just immediately leaves
