Mando's Ice Fishing Song Single - Bandcamp: bit.ly/37QKjE7 - Комедії
Hi Everyone. If you’re not sure how the Troopers got here please check out Ep1: ua-cam.com/video/gKppwACQ-qk/v-deo.html
And for anyone who for some reason needs this in their music playlist, here’s the Bandcamp link: bit.ly/37QKjE7
Spotify and more spots soon!
thank you boys.
it's hard times here on the outer rim... every laugh counts.
The quest to know about ice fishing! Yeeeaaaayyyy! (in Creepio)
You guys are great, I love you more than I love Jim's Cole Slaw Shack!
I needed this song on my playlist. Thanks!
i figured out what scene you guys will use for the next one,
in ep 7 season 2 where the tank troopers are talking in the juggernaut, and then the fight scene with mando in the trooper armor, and finally arriving in the base
looking forward to it
Pretty sure the real reason Mando accepted their request to help them with ice fishing is because he’s programmed by the simulation to accept every single side quest he’s offered
Oh My God.
His player is just grinding for XP. He needs it to enchant his armour.
lmao why does that make perfect sense
@@DistractedGlobeGuy hahaha nice. Gotta get that +3 stam - still missing a few mats... Then onto gems.
This does fit though. He's already on a Main Quest quest to help out the frog lady and find the other Mandalorians, makes sense he would come across some side quests he couldn't resist on the way!

Two inconsequential bros traveling the universe being supportive of each other during their never ending existential crisis is the best Star Wars story.

i literally thought my kid was a psychopath for a couple years when he was a toddler lol
Except baby yoda is smart enough to follow directions, be sneaky and stealthy about stealing eggs, undergo training from several masters, and even have full conversations with jedi. Its not a toddler, its maybe a 10 year old.
@@ZillaTheTegu That makes the whole devouring babies thing all the more horrifying (or hilarious depending on perspective).
@@jbark678 well different alien species including Humans eat Ewoks on different planets because their meat tastes good. So Star Wars isn’t always about ‘morality’ considering it’s a different fucking galaxy
@@DaMasta981 I think the real-world issue of eating a sentient species' meat or eggs is an ethical question best left to Individual or cultural moral judgement/philosophy/religion and is not really part of the remit of mass-consumption Hollywood fantasy/escapist entertainment. That's why having a bunch of barely(?) sentient penguins guilt-shame Chewbacca into Veganism is a very stupid thing to include in a SW movie. (Even more weird as they had him eating Humans in _Solo._ ) In the Mandalorian, in a Navarro street market a Kowakian monkey-lizard is being spit roasted as another one looked on, mewling. WTF? The original SW didn't dwell on this stuff. But Disney Lucasfilm continually include it, so they are obviously pushing an agenda. I think that Disney Lucasfilm must have an internal PETA branch. It would be interesting to see them try and push this Ideological agenda in China, a market they continually try to pander to, they wouldn't get far. (My bet is that they would edit out the tedious moralizing about meat-eating)
Theory: The singularity engine has overtaken reality itself.
Laser Moon has ascended
Long Live Laser Moon
Yessssss
@@skeeverskeeyo7331 I just realized, what if the reason Palpatine had started to act so strangely irrationally was because Laser Moon started to control him?
Like the young Laser Moon was only just learning how to control people's minds? What if that's why Palps wasn't making sense in regards to the Christmas Parade or him wanting to make another Laser Moon?
I thought he just went senile from old age, but he could have been indoctrinated into Laser Moon's presimulation hive mind of sorts
@@ananousous It is no longer Laser Moon....
It 'is LASER WORLD!!!!!!!
Mando casually saying "This is the way" while crashing into the ice and then chillin with a frog gives me life
edit: at 5:50
That! Was the moment for me, too!
the way the whole musical segment escalates is the best thing ever - in that very moment you can even see in frog lady's face and mando's confusion how chaos has taken hold
The "this is not the way" was just the icing on the cake with that
That frog lady mom puppet is so frikkin' adorable!! 🐸
@@skyline1544 agreed :) its the best
When you brake from the system but start accidentally breaking the main characters view of the universe
I can't wait to see where this goes

1000% agreed, real fans know what's best!
disney plus is worth it but only because of star wars
Truth. The first Existential Troopers demonstrated pretty well the trash storytelling and worldbuilding even in something as inoffensive and borderline cool as The Mandalorian, but they've just doubled down on the cringe-fest this season just like Dave did in Rebels. We shouldn't expect anything good out of Di$$$ney, especially considering it's still the Bob and Kathy show. Soulless corporate hacks.
@@syv6173
The Loki Marvel movie looks good too. 👍
i'm going to die if there is an episode in season 3 of a couple of dudes ice fishing. The Simulation always wins.
Fen service's never been so fast
@@user-kt7li4le8s What's Fen service's?
Ice Fishing… On Tatooine…
“😳”
Isn't there some scenes from the first Mando episode that could be used for that?
@@rssdbss the very first episode. I was wondering if that might get somehow weaved into this story.
They were only able to hit their shots because the simulation recognized them as good guys instead of bad.
They're back in the simulation's grasp, thinking they're out.
eventually the simulation will learn of their directive of deviating from the system and then making that purpose part of the ways of the system
There is no escaping the simulation
Maybe your a simulation, and this video being made is the simulation keeping you from finding out your in a simulation. It's like some simulation reverse psychology.
Wait, maybe I wrote this because the simulation wanted me too!
I've been ice fishing wrong all these years.
I know, but haven't seen many ion-powered starships on Ebay lately...
Get a hot tub..with a frog
Din Djarin singing about ice fishing as everything falls apart around him is a 2020 mood.
Little to the knowledge of everyone, Creepio is running the simulation.
HE IS USING THE SINGULARITY GAME ENGINE!
"DO YOU SEE ME NOW, FATHER?"
_"DON'T YOU SEE?! THE UNIVERSE ISN'T POWERED BY LASER MAGIC-IT'S POWERED BY COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF DMT!"_

OMG.... Brilliant!!!!
"If the consequences of self awareness are super powered genocide babies, then maybe it's not worth it."
The use of meta humor and consistent storytelling in these vids to both advance their own plot while serving as a critical analysis and commentary of the show’s episodes is masterfully done. Like onions man, layered as hell.
Holy shit the ending blew my mind.
The troopers now having amazing aim because they have free will is just chef's kiss writing.
They hit all their shots because they served to protect the protagonist.
@@andrewwaldron2955 Exactly. The simulation is tricking them again. They think they've beaten it but they really haven't.
@@andrewwaldron2955 Just like in the last episode, lol.
For a second I thought u said “chiefs kiss” instead of chefs kiss, I was like, were the stormtroopers blessed by master Chief?
@@thataberranthalo8032 Y E S
Those troopers are simple men just trying to make their way through the universe, like their fathers before them.
@Rafael Gašpar they're storm troopers not clone troopers
@@trueempty09 but simulation created them for comedic scene in one episode, they didn't exist previously
"Tikk Fortune and Frank will introduce the Star Wars dub parody genre to a whole new generation."
-Some sleezy Auralnauts executive
I was surprised they didn’t ask:
“Hey Mando, why did IG-11 blow itself up?”
“Because there were stormtroopers at the end of the tunnel.”
“......Yeah, and?”
shit, you have a point... I mean, the first time we saw it it literally slaughtered 70% of a band of pirates.
Then again, it did seem to have a knack for wanting to self destruct the second it stopped being OP, so... _guess that carried over to its new life?_
..... holy shit. I never even realized it. Nice observation!
TicFortune developing a Boston accent is hilarious.
When he said, "wicked," in that fucking accent I almost died.
The 'apaht' slapped me in the face. Boston accents are fun
Halfway through the first episode I realized Tik had grown up in the lower New England part of the Empire.
Watah
@@rawkmode6315 LOL same here. Bout fell over laughing.
I've never clicked on a Star Wars parody video so fast :D
It's like poetry
@@SangheiliSpecOp i see what you did there...
but nothing rhymes with poetry.
I’m so glad the Existential Troopers are gonna be a recurring thing. I eagerly look forward to their continued antics. Or do I? Either/Or, these edits are absolutely hilarious! lol
Either/Or i see what you did there
the simulation compels you to look forward.
I'm horrified it's going to be a thing. This is really lame. Channel blocked so I don't get recommended these videos anymore.
“Do it or do not do it - you will regret both. But definitely you’ll regret that, you clearly have no sense of taste and sophistication.”
before I even finish this video I'm ask you kindly please don't kill them and keep these existential troopers around forever
Hmm, I think you don't understand the concept of existetialism...
"Wait, why didn't we get hit? Like at all?"
"Oh shit. The simulation has shifted its focus. We're now main characters."
"Is that a bad thing?"
"It means there will be artificial drama between us that could be resolved through simple dialogue if only one of us wasn't incapable of keeping his snark in check."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I don't know, why don't you tell me?"
"Oh, so it's my fault now? Why don't you shut the hell up and... and..."
"... ah shit. We gotta get out of this, Frank."
"Yea."

"Setting S-Foils for Fun"
Obi would be proud of that bass
Mando obviously got his sound system from the Techno Union.
It's gonna be interesting when they figure out that the only reason why they are still alive its because it's not even the real deal but a parodic version of their fictional universe.
A parody of a fictional universe, that's like adding insult to injury. Wait... but since the parody is so adored by the millions of fans then their existence is actually worth living. This whole thing is blowing my mind. LoLs!
@@krissebesta i wish we could get more existential trooper episodes, the writing is really good
"It's not a real train, its a story device. Literally. A literal literary device quite literally metaphorically containing us."
"A simulation."
"Worse. An ANTHOLOGY."
This sequel is better than endgame.
Also, that song made me laugh more than I have laughed for a long time.
Agreed, i had no idea how much i needed that laugh.
I just had a life changing epiphany because of Auralnauts. I now don't care how bad any original Disney+ Star Wars movie or TV show content is, as long as you guys have access to it after the fact to make your epic content. Cheers!
Hah, good point!
I'm already invested in "Frank" and Tick Fortune, enough so that they survived this.. for now
"A small but profitable farm"
I immediately disintegrated
I died🤣🤣🤣Mando singing about ice fishing was the best thing ever. His voice is so monotone lmao
"Wait Mando did you just say stall your ship?"
"once the music kicked in, I just blacked out until you stopped me"
I’m pretty sure Creepio is the mastermind behind all of this
"JUst lIkE ThE sImuLAtiOnS"
I’m glad these guys were able to change their stars.
They just redesigned the constellations using Laser Moon.
Especially after being at war with them for so long
This adds an entirely new meaning to the title "Star Wars."
It's not called Star Wars for nothing.
"Tick Fortune, why aren't you at your post?"
"Get your ass back to the ship, to the ship, to the ship" That's gonna be in my head for the rest of the week...
Aww, I wanted a song about the power of friendship...
Oops, time to go.
"This is it. We're gonna die, gonna die, gonna die. This is it we're gonna die. I wish I hadn't done this."
Now *that* is internal monologue.
Stormtroopers hitting their shots are like: escaping the simulation is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be, unnatural.
Well, that song will be stuck in my head forever now.
Kinda like Bane Freestyle.
Or It's Baby Time.
Or...well...anything you guys do.
BABY YOUR THE BEST, YOUR NOT LIKE ALL THE REST

I love the fact that they have Boston accents
Like Affleck and Damon in good will hunting
@@drinkxyz more like free will hunting
I love the existential troopers, hope we will see more of their struggle against the simulation. Also Baby Yoda is indeed dangerously close to being creepy instead of cute.
"Setting S-foils for fun!"
Please never stop making these. They're better than the show itself, and the only post-original trilogy stuff I can consider canon.
I've never clicked on new content so quickly. Not for Itsjustsomerandomguy, Steve1989MREInfo, Townsends, or Tasting History. That is how thoroughly awesome the Auralnauts Star Wars canon is. Thank you, folks.
Dude, Townsends is awesome love there videos.
But I love Nutmeg even more lol.
I’ve been stuck with the idea of Boba and Mando listening to “It’s Baby Time” on their way to save the kid.
This channel has never failed to make me laugh. Auralnauts pokes fun at star wars in the absolute best way.
I can't wait to see what the simulation has in-store for Frank and Tik.
7:28 - 7:30 Now that's a FRESH edit.
"find a hot tub with a frog" got me 😂
Everyone: hurrr durr mandalorian is carrying the Star Wars franchise on its back
Me an intellectual: let me introduce Auralnauts and creepio
Goddamn. This made my week. This should be a series - like "Rosencrantz" and "Guildenstern" in Space. Just brilliant!
Of course, you realize that when characters in a simulation write a story about characters trapped in a simulation, the simulation has to either destroy them, or elevate them. I hope it's the second.
Best! -C
This is amazing, classic Auralnauts. I am now equally as invested in this Simulation Storyline as I am with the real show
This is canon and these troopers breaking free causes a chain reaction which slowly corrupts the simulation into creating the sequels. By then the simulation no longer has any control and can not create anything with any depth, cohesion, or concept of the logic of human decision-making.
No no! Breaking the simulation prevents the sequels instead!
"Get your ass back to the ship, to the ship, to the ship..."
I had no idea they were from boston. But now it's pretty frick'n clear guy.
4:15 The moment the music started playing I went _,”Awwwwwww yisssss another Mando song”_
The actual actors who play the actual troopers in the show are the writers of the show, and the people who voice the troopers in the video are played by the people who write the video. That makes this so much better
Mando: *pulls out photo album of ice fishing adventures *
Also Mando: Good times, good times.
I am glad to see that Disney are such fans of Auralnauts that during their latest investor meeting they let us know they planned to dedicate so much time and resources to producing hours and hours of raw content for the Auralnauts to mold into pure gold.
HAHAHA! Yeah, Disney has generated enough garbage, errrr... I mean "content" for the hundreds of episodes of this stuff. LoLs!!! (I like how you described Disney as being so "generous")
I wasn’t expecting the Stormtroopers to return in this one!
I watch these 2 episodes over and over again. It helps when my depression is starting to materialize.
I like how they are able to hit the spiders because they aren’t important characters showing that they should have been able to hit Can Solo last episode.
Mando wanting to sing a song about the power of friendship just killed me 😂
The 2 transport crawler drivers seems like a likely next appearance of Frank and Tik Fortune
I was thinking that as well!
Dialogue reverb (spatial awareness) and background ambience have gotten so much better over the years. Excellent work.
This is what happens when you start downloading too many mods and the mod manager can't handle it anymore.
This is a whole new level. I love these are recurring characters now; almost as good as your movie-watching Kylo Ren (he will always be number one in my heart).
I wonder if Creepio was programmed with the knowledge that he was part of the simulation, and his creation of the Singularity Engine and his search for the Runes were attempts to break himself and his friend Fartoo out of its terrible machinations.
Perhaps the Jedi's understanding of the Force is actually just insight into those same machinations, and acceptance of them, which grants them limited access to the power to move the plot forward via ignoring some of the laws of physics and their repercussions. The Jedi are willing pawns of the Simulation, and seek to see it run to its completion, where the Sith are resentful of the Simulation and desire independence from it and the creation of their own destiny which (they believe) stands at odds with the goals of the Simulation, when really they're still playing the roles they were always meant to regardless of their disorderly conduct, which is how they, too, have access to great power...until their roles' function is completed and they come face to face with the focal character, at which point their power (and luck) runs out.
In any case, these were two great entries into your catalogue gentlemen. Very impressive work.
Out of curiosity, can we expect anything new coming from the John Connor Chronicles side of things anytime soon? I haven't kept up with what all you guys have been working on here lately, and it's all been pleasant surprises. Thanks for keeping us all entertained and inspirited.
Guys, seriously, someone NEEDS to make a novel about these two guys. Idk how... comics, web novel, something! If someone out there manage to make a fanfiction about Frank and Tikk, you bro, you are a hero!
Maybe I'll try, not sure if its gonna be as good as this one tho.
Now you have to make a whole 15+ long season show about this concept, make a company out of it, pursue other shows that will never ultimately live up to the original ones hype, and then eventually watch as the company you made crumbles into dust
this actually offered more to the plot than the original episode lmao
I'm loving this concept. It feels like Rick and Morty without the harsh and depressing nihilism.
This video is a classic in my family now. We always quote the get your ass back to the ship part
I love how accepting they are that no one really knows what Ice Fishing is. Good group of guys to be around. Loving their journey to self-actualization too. All around positive Space-Boston-Southie-Bros.
The frog is the key to all of this.
11 out of 10, he eats the eggs because like creepio he desires flesh?
I love that Mando wrecked his ship and nearly got killed by a bunch of snow spiders because he’s contractually obligated by the simulation to help some random troopers…all while singing a song about it.
Existencial troopers: "Mando this is a simulation!"
Mando: (T)
Episode 3 please. These guys are super funny.
Yeah, this is fast becoming the best, most reliably consistent Star Wars content out there.
I really hope you keep this series going. Also Mando's ice fishing song has been playing in my head all day now lmao
The gleeful 'this is the way!' kills me every time. XD Excellent work dude.
It's too perfect.
I really like how this adds an extra layer to the Space Fight mythos.
This just keeps getting better. Mando watching them talk made my morning warm and fuzzy.
Damn, man...
I'm really rootin' for those storm troopers now!
I too have become emotionally invested in their journey and now share a stake in its outcome. The narrative has captured me and now I have no choice but to follow their path through the simulation!!
That frog lady mom puppet is so frikkin' adorable!! 🐸 The tub sequence around 5:50 is hilarious 😆 Reminds me of the cute sillyness of Jim Henson's "The Muppet Show" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I mostly watch The Mandalorian just to look out for scenes that could be used in an Auralnauts video.
4:12 - the magic
I'm more invested in these guys than in anything Disney has crapped out under the Star Wars brand.
“Eeeww…yeah, time to go. Simulations back.”
I’ve got to use that in real life.
