Man, I can't believe they haven't professionally voice acted more often, and I wish they did, I love their line delivery in these. And they play so well off each other. Makes sense that they've been making music together for so long.

the science johns are married

i'm way too old for these why am i laughing so hard

whenever my fixation on the here comes science johns comes back i will be forever thankful that i have this video

They should honestly do voice acting as a side job, they’re both so talented. Their rich man impressions was DEFINITELY my favorite one. 😭😭🧡💜

Man, John and Flans are good at voice acting. They should do it more often.

I love how they both switch between straight man and funny man, it’s great

i wish they were real

For some weird reason unlike the other two albums/videos that TMBG and Walt Disney Company Records have collaborated on between 2005 and 2009, there's no end credits (just the copyright stamp) nor a final animation where Flansburgh and Linnell sign off and thank everybody for watching the album's video counterpart.

you’re doing gods work

the silliest goobers

1:07 TALLY HALL REFERENCE!?!? 😱

John Linnell's old timey voice is iconic

4:18 Flansburgh: Well you laughed Linnell: No I didn't. Flansburgh: Yes you did. Linnell: No I did not (awkward silence) Flansburgh: No. Cue the next song. You DEFINITELY laughed. (music video for "Photosynthesis" starts up)

Linnell: Apes and humans have the same great great great great great great great great great great... (shows footage of clocks and hourglasses as Linnell keeps yelling "great" for several hours) (cuts back to Linnell) Linnell: great great great great great great great great great great grandparents

The nostalgia! I would always watch these as a kid :)

Linnell: OH! OH! OKAY! (the color scheme changes to a 1940s technicolor movie) Linnell: In olden times, people would remember the order of the planets with THIS simple saying "My very educated mother just served us 9 pizzas' but THEN in 2006, Pluto lost its status as a planet! On Thursday August 24th, the International Astrological Unicons declaimed "Because of its size and arabit orbit, Pluto is ONLY a dwarf planet like Ceres which is an object in the asteroid belts between Mars and Jupiter. So THESE DAYS we say "My very educated mother just served us NOTHING!" and we unfortunately can NO LONGER enjoy the delicious taste of mother nature's own cooked Pluto. :( 09. How Many Planets? (and a bunch of other stuff) animated by Colourmovie 10. Why Does the Sun Shine? The Sun is a Mass of Incondesent Gas (1993) 11. Why Does the Sun REALLY Shine?

4:40 fLans goT pissed aT him

In the Computer Assistant Design intro What exact Videogame is Flansburgh playing when he tells Linnell he's up to 5000-6000 warlock skull power rings

I ❤️ John and John!!

my fucking childhood

Nice

3:16 I never understood what he said there

Kawaii for no reason

4:41 FLans is so pissed aT him

OLD SCHOOL 2009 And TOO MUCH BIMEYS And Very Ocwird

5:38 for people who came here cus of dinn3rbell's TMBG silly moments compilations

the character design kind of reminds me of UPA style

Why can't they team up with Disney to make a social studies one next using these animated Johns bumpers Also like the science one in addition to newer songs, they should include and re-record a few of their archival songs on the subject: Canajoharie Destroying The Past?! The Edison Museum (off the No! album) Istanbul (Not Constantinople) (from Flood) with Miller Time at the beginning and the instrumental jam session at the end when the play this song in concert Historical Landmarks James Knox Polk (the rock version with the electric guitars and for the music video put the confetti cannons shooting and confetti falling graphics on the line "Louis Cast, a general and expansionist" like they do it performing the song live) Meet James Ensor The Mesopotamians (off The Else) Purple Toupee (off the Lincoln album) Tesla Tippecanoe & Tyler Too They would also might have to rewrite the lyrics on a few since the Mesopotamians song has a swear word in it and Disney would never allow that on a kids album especially if it's one from an alternative rock & roll band with 2 Grammy Awards wins

Where's the now it's time to go credits? I remember there being a clip of a bumper that I haven't seen anywhere else. I depicted to two Johns arguing about something. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about

do the here comes the 123s bumpers next
