I think my favorite random t-shirt I’ve seen is “this is what a gay clarinet player looks like. I’m not a gay clarinet player, I just really look like one”
(Please let the right person see this, Oh, GOD, please) The perfect shirt for *Grant Anthony O'Brien* With his "bit" by wearing it being that the "clarinet player" part is the point of divergence Come onnnnnnnn
When I was in marching band in high school, there was one game where we were talking with the other band and all of the boys in their clarinet section were gay and were shocked that none of ours were (Little did they know it was the trombone section who was gay for us)
the real issue here is that you gotta wait to find out so there's this sort of awkward period until you see them a second time where you're not sure how to talk about them
My friend had a shirt that said, "I was born in February, so think twice before yelling at me. If I'm a Pisces I'll start crying, but if I'm an Aquarius it will just make me hornier." And of course hornier was in bold and the fanciest scrawling font you can imagine. And my friend was born in September
34:45 no offense but Julia specifically would never. She could have all the free assets in the world and she'd still be breaking her back in the background mines, designing a logo for a fictional brand of kitchen appliances
Uh, just so you know, that’s not, that’s not us. I mean, that’s not… actually you got it wrong it’s actually a crocodile that’s not alligators. That one that ate those twelve children? That was an alligator that was not a crocodile we would never- I mean they would never do that. They would never in, uh, in a million years. We don’t, I mean they don’t… uh they’re not even… *sigh*
Did it also talk a lot about your granddaughter? Calling me old is at least subjective, but I definitely don't even have the granddaughter these shirts think I'm bring controlled by.

I feel seen. I've been a forklift operator for almost 15 years and this is the first time Drawfee has mentioned me specifically. I'm sure there are others who watch Drawfee, but I think I'm the one they were talking about. 30:15
Having operated several forklifts and having a license for it, I can say that the kind of power and prestige that comes with said job is unmatched. You should fear us.
I love the concept of changing the tense so it so it’s either ‘you’re about to talk to’ or ‘you’ve just talked to’ so it makes sense looking at his back
I can see this challenge mutating into one that's basically someone makes a character based on a real hyper-specific t-shirt and then someone else has to try to draw/write what they think the shirt had said
I used to be a forklift operator. Eventually that's all anybody saw me as and the only thing I was considered to be good at. It got to a point where I refused to renew my forklift license and quit my job to become a professional gardener. I'm alot happier now.
So in the Manga you'd be the legendary forklift operator sensei who very reluctantly teaches the Shonen protagonist forklift operation, while constantly reminding them that they are not ready and lack the discipline ua-cam.com/video/MlyXiIwPjuk/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
I remember Jacob operating a forklift in that weird forklift dystopia game on SSS and several people claiming to be real forklift operators commented they were very stressed watching him.
I don’t remember that one so I’ll have to look it up and rewatch. I wouldn’t be surprised though if he played out the old training video with the forks going through a break room wall impaling a poor guy.
I've definitely worked with some guys who thought they were forklift operators, but based on their accident rate, I don't think the real forklift operator was there.
As a REAL *FORKLIFT OPERATOR* I can confirm that the moment we get our license we burst into blue flame and shed our skin. Unfortunately it's not covered under worker's comp.

Nathan’s shirt is an entire Ric Flair promo. It literally has Ric Flair in it. Holding the Alligators down is a reference to Ric Flair wearing alligator skin boots.
40:23 Left side guy looks like Spheal when he was younger. Maybe, perhaps, the reason Spheal is so bent out of shape, is because he pissed off The Forklift Operator
Jacob's fear of being corrected by deep language lore is so valid, been there done that so many times and it never goes away once one is advanced enough in linguistics (even after taking attitude adjustments as they come to overall handle such situations better)
21:58 Actually, did you know that gym’s have something known as an Extra Apostrophe’s Rule? In 1572 a nobleman named Jim Apostrophe (pronounced Ah-poster-off) rescued a man from a huge fire, but Sir Apostrophe actually later died from smoke inhalation. The man he rescued was actually Graham Grammers (the man who created grammar), and when he learned about his death, he created the Extra Apostrophe’s Rule in his honour. Then when gym’s were invented they adopted the rule as well!
Why did the part about being a deeply lonely person and trying to connect with people using hyper-specific t shirts make me so emotional? Relatable tbh.
Suggesting again because I think it’s the best idea I’ve ever had in my 26 years of breathing: You four spend a lot of time together! But do y’all know what y’all look like? I’d love to see a speed draw of y’all drawing each other without any reference! Especially Julia!
30:37 "I want to make a long-form shonen comic about forklift operators." Jacob, you might enjoy a little videogame called Battle Construction Vehicles. It's SO close to what you're thinking of.
I was a forklift operator and let m me tell you, it's not hard. If I remember correctly the first time I ever drove one was on my first day on the job... during the test to get my operator's license. They literally took me to a place, told me where the lift controls were, and said "drive it around, lift some stuff, & don't drop anything".
The whole forklift certified meme is based around the fact that it’s a completely useless certification that literally anyone can get in five minutes and which means nothing outside your immediate employer.
A long, long time ago, in the days before Amazon, I actually worked as a forklift operator at a warehouse for a fully remote bookstore (you could only order the books online or via a catalog). I got the job by lying and claiming I had forklift operator experience in the military, but in fact my military service had involved zero forklifts and I just taught myself on the job. You probably would enjoy it, Jacob. It's kinda like commanding a mechanical elephant to move things with its mighty tusks.
18:24 -- Bane in his teenage angst years. "You think the dark gym is your ally. You merely adopted the dark gym; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see the flashy life until I was already a man, by then it was nothing but blinding."
I would definitely read a webcomic about forklift operators in whatever is the genre of “military school for pilots of giant sentient robots” you know what I’m talking about, right? There are a few forklifts (and they are all just the same asset in different colors) and all the students train to become the best operators, but the forklifts choose the students who will operate them themselves and they develop a bond with each other and there is this one forklift who has been refusing to choose an operator for years and when the plucky new underdog student arrives, it inexplicably chooses him and basically it’s Voltron, but simultaneously better and worse. And it’s forklifts.
If I had a nickel for every tiime that Jacob drew an impossibly strong man by making him hunched over so we could see how incredibly tiny his head is between his shoulders, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice.
David's personalised hyper-specific tshirt in the intro caught me off-guard and absolutely cracked me up. The blue light of screens has mutated my body too!
Honestly making a tshirt like this for an OC is way better than a character sheet, especially if the character lives in a world where tshirts dont really exist
I am technically certified to operate a forklift, and i approve of this episode of Drawfee. Good job with the Gators, the Skinny, and the Boys lifting forks! Love your content.
It’s not an anime per se, and not specifically about forklifts, BUT there is a game called BVC: Battle Construction Vehicles in which construction workers battle eachother with their vehicles
33:30 Any real Forklift Certified person knows that you can't ride the forks. There are safety cages you can put on the forks, but you can never ride them. Forklift Operator is a job for selfless people, as you can raise others up to incredible heights that you yourself will never be able to reach as you do your solemn forklift duties. At least until you get your Electric Ladder or Order Picker certification.
Good news! These do appear to be alligators! The fourth lower tooth isn't noticeably bigger than the others :D (Though, alligators are technically a kind of crocodile - I've been watching a lot of Clint's Reptiles lately lol)
Nathan's Shirt is just a Ric Flair shirt based on his promo from the early WCW days which having artist draw a character based on Wrestling Promos isn't a bad idea.
Aaaactually there are actually forklift operating competitions… Also as one of the few female certified forklift operators at my job I resonate deeply with that shirt and Julia’s interpretation
Those actually were alligators, good job! The way I remember it is alligators have round snouts like a "C," and crocodiles have pointy snouts like an "A."
Probably my favourite series I've seen on youtube shorts, is of this mother daughter duo that go to thrift stores and films themselves saying the text on oddly specific tshirts while acting out how that person would probably be. And it's hilarious, because they're sometimes so freaking deranged that it cracks them up and they have to do multiple takes.
Driving a forklift can be pretty fun! It’s satisfying to just pick things up and put them down somewhere else. The less fun stuff comes from the hours and the constant pressure to be faster.
don't forget the part where the clueless manager telling you to be faster tells you to do the exact same dangerous shortcuts that your trainer told you never to do under any circumstances.
Suggestion: There are many characters based on the 7 Deadly Sins, how about characters based on the 7 Heavenly Virtues. Or Suggestion: Draw Horror Icons as Magical Girls.
I gotta say, I genuinely miss operating a forklift at my old job, it was so fun and great, and the only thing I was licensed to drive. I bet Jacob would love it.
Okay I've worked warehouses a lot over the years and I can explain the forklift operator reference. Basically, you've got three kinds of forklift operators. The ones who think they know how to drive a forklift, the ones you can drive a forklift, and the ones who could perform surgery with a forklift. It's a matter of confidence versus skill, and the way it usually works is this. Most people in this situation will eventually learn how to drive a forklift and it's fine. They are the normal ones. There are however people who believe that they could drive a forklift despite all evidence to the contrary, even if they've never used one in their life. Somehow these people often end up in supervisory roles. They are the worst people to be around when a forklift is being used because they are a danger to themselves and others. Then there is the last kind, the dudes who are really good with a forklift. It sounds simple, but in a warehouse you can end up with bizarre situations or things being arranged weirdly either in the warehouse or coming off of a truck or having to go into a truck in which having a great amount of control of the machine is actually really important to your job. When a lot of finesse or finagling is necessary sometimes you just call that one guy you know over in the other department who knows how to do damn near everything with that machine. That said I've never seen anybody wear a t-shirt about it. It's not something you really make a big fuss over. The guys who wear those shirts on ironically are probably just weird, crazy, and work with a hangover every other morning.
40:01 I love how "mildly irritated round head beard guy" just spontaneously transforms into "equally frightened square heard no-beard guy" in the final render, and the guy on the left turns into Bobby Hill
Speed Draw Suggestion: Finishing off *each others CHILDHOOD drawings* Similar to the 'Finishing each others line art' episode. But adding in the old 'Redrawing our childhood drawings' episodes. Interpreting each others childhood scribbles into full artistic beauty ~☆
27:35 this but not with forklifts but rather with an hydraulic platform: we have one at my work but the guy who learned how to use it (and has a permit) no longer works with us, so every few months when we need to use it...we...HYPOTHETICALLY...use it...? Unless that guy has the time to help us out
I think my favorite random t-shirt I’ve seen is “this is what a gay clarinet player looks like. I’m not a gay clarinet player, I just really look like one”
I must have it.
What about all of that but "im not a gay clarinet player, im just gay"
(Please let the right person see this, Oh, GOD, please)
The perfect shirt for *Grant Anthony O'Brien*
With his "bit" by wearing it being that the "clarinet player" part is the point of divergence
Come onnnnnnnn
When I was in marching band in high school, there was one game where we were talking with the other band and all of the boys in their clarinet section were gay and were shocked that none of ours were
(Little did they know it was the trombone section who was gay for us)

There is a really easy trick to tell alligators and crocodiles apart: one sees you later, and the other sees you after a while.
I wish I could pin this
the real issue here is that you gotta wait to find out so there's this sort of awkward period until you see them a second time where you're not sure how to talk about them
See you later, crocogator.
There is another way to tell them apart= one terrifies pirates with the tick-tock sound coming from it's belly.
@@Katzztar Yeah, but that is only one pirate, you have to make sure you're around the correct one.

2:18 I have learned more about David from this frame than from any other video
David that title card is genuinely incredible, I love you
I'm somewhat disappointed that Julia's drawing didn't involve the real forklift operator performing surgery on a forklift. 😂
Honestly making a tshirt like this for an OC is way better than a character sheet, especially if the character lives in a world where tshirts dont really exist
Nathan just dying at the reveal of that last shirt gives me life.
I am technically certified to operate a forklift, and i approve of this episode of Drawfee. Good job with the Gators, the Skinny, and the Boys lifting forks!
Love your content.
It’s not an anime per se, and not specifically about forklifts, BUT there is a game called BVC: Battle Construction Vehicles in which construction workers battle eachother with their vehicles
33:30 Any real Forklift Certified person knows that you can't ride the forks. There are safety cages you can put on the forks, but you can never ride them. Forklift Operator is a job for selfless people, as you can raise others up to incredible heights that you yourself will never be able to reach as you do your solemn forklift duties.
At least until you get your Electric Ladder or Order Picker certification.
Good news! These do appear to be alligators! The fourth lower tooth isn't noticeably bigger than the others :D (Though, alligators are technically a kind of crocodile - I've been watching a lot of Clint's Reptiles lately lol)
Yes, love Clint!
He may not be a true fork, but he’s the fork who lifted up
Nathan's Shirt is just a Ric Flair shirt based on his promo from the early WCW days which having artist draw a character based on Wrestling Promos isn't a bad idea.
Nathan must be exposed to Steiner Math. It is inevitable
@@MrSkerpentine yes they have to do steiner math if they ever do this
Also Von Wagner’s Come Tuesday promo
They could do just Ultimate Warrior promos - they were like the random sentence generators of the 80s!!
I don't know guys, as a wrestling fan, I'm almost scared to see Drawfee get into this mess lol
Aaaactually there are actually forklift operating competitions…
Also as one of the few female certified forklift operators at my job I resonate deeply with that shirt and Julia’s interpretation
Hey, I'm also a female forklift operator!
Those actually were alligators, good job! The way I remember it is alligators have round snouts like a "C," and crocodiles have pointy snouts like an "A."
but thats so backwards ;-; nature/words why
@@thlaylirooif it makes you feel better, caimans have C-shaped snouts
Probably my favourite series I've seen on youtube shorts, is of this mother daughter duo that go to thrift stores and films themselves saying the text on oddly specific tshirts while acting out how that person would probably be. And it's hilarious, because they're sometimes so freaking deranged that it cracks them up and they have to do multiple takes.
Driving a forklift can be pretty fun! It’s satisfying to just pick things up and put them down somewhere else. The less fun stuff comes from the hours and the constant pressure to be faster.
don't forget the part where the clueless manager telling you to be faster tells you to do the exact same dangerous shortcuts that your trainer told you never to do under any circumstances.
David's hyper specific in-video episode description is gold 👌
The way the lore built up for Gym and Skinny was magnificent.
“it’s scary”
“It’s skinny”
MADE ME ALMOST CHOKE ON MY MUFFIN LMAO
I love crocs/ gators/ gharials/ caimans so much and I love how Nathan drew these lil guys! 🐊
These alligators are freakin' adorable.
Suggestion: There are many characters based on the 7 Deadly Sins, how about characters based on the 7 Heavenly Virtues.
Or
Suggestion: Draw Horror Icons as Magical Girls.
the second one
I gotta say, I genuinely miss operating a forklift at my old job, it was so fun and great, and the only thing I was licensed to drive.
I bet Jacob would love it.
Okay I've worked warehouses a lot over the years and I can explain the forklift operator reference. Basically, you've got three kinds of forklift operators. The ones who think they know how to drive a forklift, the ones you can drive a forklift, and the ones who could perform surgery with a forklift. It's a matter of confidence versus skill, and the way it usually works is this.
Most people in this situation will eventually learn how to drive a forklift and it's fine. They are the normal ones. There are however people who believe that they could drive a forklift despite all evidence to the contrary, even if they've never used one in their life. Somehow these people often end up in supervisory roles. They are the worst people to be around when a forklift is being used because they are a danger to themselves and others. Then there is the last kind, the dudes who are really good with a forklift. It sounds simple, but in a warehouse you can end up with bizarre situations or things being arranged weirdly either in the warehouse or coming off of a truck or having to go into a truck in which having a great amount of control of the machine is actually really important to your job. When a lot of finesse or finagling is necessary sometimes you just call that one guy you know over in the other department who knows how to do damn near everything with that machine.
That said I've never seen anybody wear a t-shirt about it. It's not something you really make a big fuss over. The guys who wear those shirts on ironically are probably just weird, crazy, and work with a hangover every other morning.
40:01 I love how "mildly irritated round head beard guy" just spontaneously transforms into "equally frightened square heard no-beard guy" in the final render, and the guy on the left turns into Bobby Hill
Speed Draw Suggestion: Finishing off *each others CHILDHOOD drawings*
Similar to the 'Finishing each others line art' episode. But adding in the old 'Redrawing our childhood drawings' episodes.
Interpreting each others childhood scribbles into full artistic beauty ~☆
YAYYYYY NATHEN IS BACK! The show feels weird without him sometimes.
He finally escaped the Sam Reich, Game Changer dungeon.... lol
THE EDITOR T SHIRT INSERT WAS GOLD.
I love you
27:35 this but not with forklifts but rather with an hydraulic platform: we have one at my work but the guy who learned how to use it (and has a permit) no longer works with us, so every few months when we need to use it...we...HYPOTHETICALLY...use it...? Unless that guy has the time to help us out
I can't believe Julia drew a much better Bobby Hill without intending or trying to draw Bobby Hill
When Jacob says "gym" I heard "gem" and I thought the shirt was about someone who was obsessed with a magical gem 💎
Absolute baller of an editing on this one David you always do a great job but this one chef's kiss
"I'm vegan-
I never exercise-
I still watch Survivor and I will not apologize-"
Poetry is alive.
Ric Flair in his hay day could hold so many alligators down.
David earned my like this time with that hyper-specific title card
I love the sneaky David lore drop
14:47 Clint McElroy mention :')
Skinny's favorite song is definitely the Eddie Murphy classic "Party All The Time"
Nathan dying at Julia reading her shirt was chef’s kiss
