Hi, an Icelander here 🙌🙌 but the thing is that in the old days they used to be mischievous, adn all this scraping and licking was was concidered bad, because people didnt have alot of food, and would also eat the crusts hat were left in the pot or the pan. The Bowl licker stole the food for the cats and dogs, in their bowls. But they have turned the page now, and instead of being mean the kids leave shoes in the window and the Yule Lads leave small presents in them.

Danny Devito is a yule lad. im serious

Icelandic man: "oh no my sausages have been swiped, oh well at least I have my meat". Turns to see meat being pulled through chimney.

Imagine being a sheep and some gnome who lost his legs in Vietnam starts yelling at you

Sheep Harasser doesn't say 'Hey Miss'. He says 'Hey, Ewe'.

Everyone has a specialty! Julia - horrible monsters Jacob - Yule Lads Nathan - Wrongapes

"Iceland's near Jamaica right?" -Jacob 2018

Here are my drawfee lad ideas: - Accidental Tool Switcher - Non-closed-line-entire-canvas Filler - Background Layer Sketcher - Drawing Tablet Snatcher Cheers from Iceland

Icelander here! So, since you asked, you're pretty much on the mark regarding the Jólasveinar (Yule Lads). The story of the Lads is pretty old and that's why the context of some of their names can be a bit obscure. Stekkjastúfur (Sheepcote Clod) is usually depicted as hiding in the sheepcotes (sheep-pens) and irritating and harassing the sheep, especially during the night, thus making sleep difficult for the people sleeping. Ketkrókur (Meat-hook) was pretty much spot on. He is depicted as hiding on the rooftops and snatching the meat that is being cured through the chimney. This meat was and is usually eaten during Christmas here in Iceland, so he was basically stealing their christmas dinner. Stúfur (Stubby) is sometimes seen as a bit more mischievous than the rest since he hid in peoples houses and ran away with their pans so that he could eat the burnt pieces off them. This is different from what Pottasleikir (Pot-licker) does which is stealing pots (that still contained some food) from children. Some fun facts as well: Grýla (who we saw in the other video) has a husband called Leppalúði who does nothing but lazily sit in their cave and wait for Grýla to bring him food. By some accounts, the Yule Lads number in the 200s or even higher. Most of these are regional varieties of the same Lad or obscure Lads that haven't made their national debut yet. Also, if you want to see other depictions of the Yule Lads you can go to www.jolamjolk.is/jolasveinarnir/ to see some pictures of them (and read about them if you know Icelandic or know how to use google translate though that won't be very accurate).

This video came out a lot earlier than I thought it would

Another Drawfee Lad: “Layer Smudger” He waits until you have enough layers set up and puts a little smudge on one of them and you have to go through all of them to find and erase it and it’s always gonna be the on very last one you check.

I love how Julia's Yule lad is like, 15ft tall judging on the size of the door

(Sorry for long comment) As an Icelander This is one of the best Drawfee episodes ever. Your info pritty on point not perfect but I'm not going to correct everything here. But have in mind that the yule lads are from the old days so they are realy old, and Meathook got the meat because the chimney was over the kitchen. Fun fact, if you didn't know. Children leave one shoe on their windowsill and the Yule lads put something in the shoe the 13 nights leading to Christmas. Gríla (great pronunciation btw) their mother is said to eat bad children. The Christmas cat is Gríla's cat and it also eats children but only if they don't get clothes before or on christmas. If a childe has been kind of bad the Yule lad, that night, puts a potato in it's shoe, instead of the coal.

The Yule lads cinematic universe coming to an internet near you

The thirteen drawfee lads. 1.) "Oops, I drew a pokemon" 2.) Horror-maker 3.) Name Dropper 4.) Anecdote Laddie 5.) "Am I done Yet?" 6.) Cup-Themer 7.) Spoiler Troll 8.) Spam-Commenter 9.) Updogg 10.) "I drew this to Erase it." 11.) Guest Lad 12.) Bad Punster 13.) Wholesome Joe

One of the Drawfee-lads is definitely Willie. Just Willie, as he is. (He was there, right in front of you all along!) Also on a related note; please draw the Drawfee-lads.

Hey sheep! ya no good, sheep! ya just. like. ya fatha!

Drawfee Lads: The Canvas Mover The Uninitiated The Lore Librarian The Dad Joker Julia The Misinformation Speaker The Zoomer The little Shit The Eraser The Cropper Crystal James Sausage Wiper And finally, Stinky

Julia just whipped out that house in like 5 minutes didn’t she

I guess you could say that Sheep-coat Claud is a real... woolly bully. Also, I like to think he used to harass sharks, until he lost his legs to a shark. Then he went to harassing something safer. 4 legs good! 2 pegs bad!

Oh my god, the madlads actually did it! This is why you guys are the best! Now draw the adventures of the great hero Florida Man (news headlines containing the phrase "Florida man") please!

You guys don’t know the feeling of watching the last Christmas cryptids video and then watching the new chilling adventures of Sabrina Christmas special featuring the Yule Lads

I wanna be scraper **I'm already scraper**

Oh my god Hilda season 2 is out and there's an episode titled "The Yule Lads" this is the best thing that has ever happened to me

Yes! The Yule lads!

Stubby scraped it. He got a stool out of curiosity and saw all the good crusts and couldn't help himself.

Can you (with Julia) please do 'Artists draw Horror movie monsters they've never seen,' like The Jötunn (The Ritual), The Canker Man (Before I Wake), Rawhead Rex, Decapitron (Puppet Master) and Pumpkinhead?

Lad suggestions: -intro stumbler -last-spot curser -oops-too-many licker -Willie muser -Wikipedia-rouletter -dumbsugest -even-dumberdraw

Some Drawfee Lads: Distant Knowledge Yeller; Nokia Seller; Essence Eater; Universe Eater; Spunky Adventurer; Paul Blart.

They actually did it, the mad lads

Please more Yule Lads! I think stubby deserves that scrape

Drawfee lads? Handsome Lad, whispers dark secrets into Julia's ear about monsters Canvashifter, who moves canvases in the middle of episodes Chainrequester, who repeats a request every comment section until fulfilled Vegeta, who is just Vegeta and is purely here to aggravate Julia JRPGprompter, they just really want more Legend of Krys and are always off in the distance yelling about it Also Stubby did NOT scrape the pan. He overcame it to embrace his new identity as Stubby.

I will never have a merry Christmas until I see the beauty that is Doorway Sniffer.

Jacob’s door only had a knob on one side... That means that Stubby must’ve recruited Door Slammer to break in... Wait but that means he was in on Stubby’s master plan the whole time! It was a setup!!

“Tried painting, lost both my legs.” It be like that sometimes, Sheep Cote Claud, it be like that.

“Fine, ill do it myself” Once upon a long long time ago, Gryla was dreaded by the children on Christmas. Despite this, she could not ruin Christmas by herself. She had 13 children with Leppaluoi. They were Stekkjartuar the Sheep Cote Clod, Giljagaur the Gully Gawk, Stufur the Pan Scraper, Pvorusleikir the Spoon Licker, Pottaskefill the Pot Scraper, Askasleikir, the Bowl Licker, Huroaskellir the Door Slammer, Bjúgnakrækir the Sausage Swiper, Gluggagægir, the Window Peeper, Gáttaþefur the Doorway Sniffer, Ketkrókur the Meat Hook, and Kertasníkir the Candle Stealer. Leppaluoi did not understand the sudden interest in children as he was “not that evil.” It was the night before Christmas. Gryla began planning to ruin Christmas for all the bad children. “REEK MY MONSTERS,*REEEK!*” They headed out, with mischievous smiles on their faces. They trashed the homes of the nasty children. Stealing their food destroying dishes and making a mess. The nasty children were taken to Gryla for her to boil. “We did it!” Exclaimed Stekkjarstaur. The lads cheered, all but one. Stúfur felt guilty inside. He began to feel remorse about what he’s done. “What’s the matter, STUBBY!” Bjúgnakrækir said sarcastically as Stúfur was abnormally short. Stúfur’s blood began to boil. He did not like that name yet he decided to embrace it. The next year on Christmas he took up a new mantle. He was no longer the Pan Scraper, he is now Stubby and he will save Christmas. Gryla rounded up the lads to ruin Christmas once more, but Stúfur was a step ahead. He went and lad proofed every house. He hid the meat, he cleaned the pots and pans, and the closed the curtains. His brothers arrived and were baffled. Gluggagægir, the window peeper noticed something. A short man cleaning. It’s his brother Stúfur! He forgot to close the curtains!! “Mammas gonna be mad!” Gluggagægir whispers. He goes to tattle on his brother, and as expected Gryla is not happy. “Heerree kitty kitty!” Jólakötturinn, the monsterous cat emerges from her dark hole. “*BRING ME STÚFUR*” Jólakötturinn takes off. While Stubby cleans the last spoon in the house, he hears something _prrrrrrrrr_ ... CRASH! Stúfur leaps backwards, then he sees two glowing yellow eyes, staring directly at him. The cat leaps forward and chomps, Stubby dodges. He rushes into the living room and ignites the fireplace. He stands in front of the fire, the angry, hungry cat charges. Stubby moves and pushes him into the fire. He finishes the job and he leaves presents for the children.Stubby saved Christmas!! Gryla was FURIOUS! She attacks from the sky. Stubby needs to escape in order to be free of Gryla. She grabs him with her great hand. He takes a hot pan and burns it. She flinches and throws him all the way to Denmark where Stubby will start his new life. The end.

Absolute mad lads

For the final Beans of the year it should be a colab (each have 10-15 minutes to draw, with one starting and the second adding onto it) where they just draw a scene from the Lad House with at least 3 Yule Lads in it

As an Icelandic viewer this is honestly the funniest take I've seen on the yule lads. That being said, you guys really aren't that far off from what they're actually like, although I would have loved to see you try to pronounce their Icelandic names (in a German/Jamaican accent, of course).

My mom came in just now and asked me what I was watching, because she aint wearing her glasses and couldn't see anything. So I was like: "Um... I'm just watching people doing..." She: "Doing what?" Me: "Like I don't *really* know what they're up to." She: *confusion* Me: "But it's pretty pleasant to watch." Then she left, slowly nodding, and was never seen again.

I'm icelandic and I've been requesting this forever! I'm so happy!

Please give each other the definitions of bizarre yet actual phobias and draw Supervillains based on them They should've drawn themselves as Yule Lads. I can see Julia as Candle-Stealer, Nathan as Bowl-Licker, and Jacob as Window-Peeper who looks at what people are doing and tells them they're doing it wrong

We know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet, and Cupid and Donner, and Blitzen! But who the heck are these guys? For Christmas, draw Rejected Reindeer!!

*Top 10 sequels of all time*

You have made one Scandinavian very happy during a time that currently sucks

Paul Blart is definitely a Drawfee lad.

I’m icelandic and here’s some info on the Yule lads Kids put their shoes in their windowsill to get presents from the Yule lads. If you have misbehaved you will get a potato or a mandarin orange. Some kids also give items to specific Yule lads, like yogurt candles and more. Grýla has a husband named Leppalúði. From the information i grew up with he basically does nothing but just lazily sit around. -Emily

I would love to see y’all draw your biggest irrational fear. Like mine is getting into a wreck and having a really embarrassing song playing that other people hear.

MY BOY SAUSAGE SWIPER

You guys should do knock off/rejected Reindeer

I have been waiting for this for sO long!! As an Icelandic person I love when people get to experience our troll boyos 💖 you guys are great gleðileg jól from Iceland.

I think Willie was the original Drawfee lad

A drawfee lad name suggestion: The nightmare fueler

Line wiggler. I see you guys get into a groove then you get to one line that you redo like 8 times. It's line wiggler.

When it says "harassing sheep", it's a euphemism. He tries to suckle from sheep. Not kidding.

It's amazing how straightforward these myths are. I swear it was like, some parent was fed up with his kid licking bowls and decides to say some giant is gonna mess the kid up if he steps on his turf

More folklore creatures and cryptids. Or else, next time you open your refrigerator, you'll find me, waiting.

Drawfee has more than 2 1/2 times as many subscribers as the entire population of Iceland 🇮🇸

Please draw an anime or Japanese dating-sim game where the title roughly translates to 'My Boyfriend is a powerful Wizard?!'

OMG YES I FOUND IT. So you guys, there’s this show on Netflix called “Hilda” and there’s an entire episode that’s dedicated to the Yule Lads!!! And they even mention some of the ones you draw on here!!!

Julia's 'lad' (lass) would be Nightmare Shaper.

The sausage swiper The kielbasa krampas The Frankfurt fiend The bratwurst bandit

shepherd 1 should we do something about him? shepherd 2 no way his mom is scary.

“Suggestion Repeater” is definitely a populous group of many lads competing for attention. And your joke was fantastic Jacob.

Draw each other’s imaginary friends

ABSOLUTE MAD LADS MAKING SOME ABSOLUTE MAD LADS Please draw extreme towel rituals next Or just the rest of the Yule Lads. Please. (Stubby totally scraped the pan)

Funny how Nathan said that the Yule Lads searched a new job when christianity came, because that's what actually happened with Olentzero (or Olentzaro, depending where you live) the Basque Santa who used to be a jentil (pronounced "henteel") but when Jesus was born he was the one who told Basque people he was born, turned to christianity and survived (the rest of the jentils fell asleep and nobody knows when they are gonna wake up) and changed his job to givinf Basque children presents with the help of his donkey. So Nathan wasn't wrong, that kind of weird stuff happens in mythology xD

Detail-coverer; He's there as Julia draws the most beautifully rendered and painstakingly detailed objects which are then covered up with a clean and simple shape, with little to no suggestion of their existence left. Oh and Stubby totally scraped that pan, the rest of the lads don't know but he's been dealing with the guilt for a while, and it would happen to be a point in time his memory goes back to.

What if you made the starting village for the Legend of Kris? Or something else, I miss Kris

My grandmother lived in Iceland and has an advent calendar of the Yule lads

In some versions, Sheep-cote Clod doesn't have wooden legs - his legs simply lack knees, which is why he has such a hard time moving around.

Here’s my Christmas carol AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Thank you

i have no suggestions of what to draw but i love you guys.

Drawfee lads: The butt expander - unnecessarily draws big butts when a regular size will do. Creeper eye - all drawings must have oddly creepy eyes. The lore monger - doles out the lore for drawings, especially undesirable lore.

Stubby totally was able to hold on. He's been trying so hard, and even though you just know there's all kinds of great crust to scrape from that pan, he held fast! I believe in Stubby!

Stubby is a pure lad, he would never tread upon the mischief set aside for brothers despite all temptation.

Doorway sniffer is my spirit animal

Idk about the lads, but Julia the Monster Mom is definitely the Gryla equivalent

_Attempt #4_ *Idea 1:* Please draw each other as your very own Soulslike bosses, i.e. "Julia, Mother of the Abyss". (Added in: Attempt 1) *Idea 2:* Have Julia (+any of the other artists who've played Silent Hill games) draw things of your or her choosing as Silent Hill monsters. (Added in: Attempt 2) Also, question for Julia - does she like any of the western Silent Hill games?

The Yule lads actually came up in my every day life twice! One was on a Christmas episode of a British show called QI (my whole family thought I was insane because I knew what they were) The second one was that it came up in a Christmas quiz at school and we had to name three. My team won lmao. And people say that KZfaq doesn't help you in your daily life..😂😂😂

After watching the Christmas cryptids episode I watched the Christmas special of the new Sabrina Netflix series and they had Gryla and the Yule Lads in it!! I was so excited because I actually knew about them watching it because of you guys!

It's so funny that y'all just happened to do this right before the Yule Lads were a central part to the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina special

Want more? DROPOUT.TV is available WORLDWIDE The APP is available in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the U.S.! Grab a free trial now --> bit.ly/2GAAZbD

When they mentioned that the Lads show up at different times and kind of stagger themselves out until Christmas where they're all there, it combined with the knowledge of their weird idiosyncrasies and now I'm thinking of them as FNAF animatronics. Like you gotta shine the light on Spoon Licker when you hear the spoon drawer open, or he'll lick all your spoons.

Not my suggestion BUT Please draw the seven dawrves as the seven deadly sins!!

Could we perhaps get you drawing obscure death/heavy metal bands, going only by their names.

the yule lads are in the Sabrina christmas special!

Stubby didn't want to scrape the pan, but he was forced to accept one last job. There he stands, torn over whether he'll fulfill his oath no never scrape pans again, or the contract that he didn't want to take in the first place.

Please draw Chickens of the Night and their rivals from across the street, the Turkey Club.

Can the last beans of the year be how the ladies book club celebrates Christmas?

Wow. Not one bit of me expected this. My mother’s side is entirely Icelandic, and as a result my house has always followed various Icelandic traditions and known various bits of folklore. This, of course, is one of the most prominent ones, and my baby niece is even being taught about it now with a boot of her own in the windowsill. I was caught incredibly off-guard by this, but I love to see this. Good stuff!

Ahhh, Holda Season 2, Episode 10 is about the Yule Lads and it made my lil' Drawfee loving heart so happy!

I HAVE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST!!!

“Stubby limbs... but big.. chunky” -jacob 2018 13:23

Last drawfee beans should just be more lads

Draw the lickers!! Or the liquors.. or the lickers with the liquors!!!

Poor Stubby! His shining, sad eyes! The glistening, unscraped pan! I hope the scraped the pan. You deserve it, Stubby!

please more yule lads i beg of you i need more of these mischievous boys

My Yule lads are Anxiety, Depression, and Foot Tripper

I hope the residents saw Stubby and invited him to scrape the pan.. Poor wittle guy..
