"what are your pronouns?" -Dying demons last words as they get stuck through with a polearm

"I'm a messy bitch who lives for the drama" is a very powerful summation of Justin's role in Monster Factory

Headcanon: Ronnie Faeburger is Ronald McDonald's child but adopted the Wendy's haircut as a form of rebellion.

hearing them mess around with names on the way to the one in the title has the same energy as like watching a super hero origin you already know

appreciate the non-binary rep of monster factory being a technically unkillable, full fanged, absolute unit of a warrior

“My seasonal affective depression gets worse every time an uppercut doesn’t land” MOOD

"Valuable lever ahead" "That's what it says on my underwear" I can't believe Griffin ignored that fantastic remark

Can’t believe no ones talking about “Valuable lever ahead” “That’s what it says in my underwear”

Ya'll, Peepee Longstocking was RIGHt there

idk why yall are acting like this is the first nb character when jIM jELLY canonically uses he/they pronouns

DS: Ronnie, are you a boy or girl? Ronnie: no gender, only anger DS: but what's in your pants? Ronnie: Rage.

Now listen here, I'm not saying that I'm the spokesperson of the non-binary community, but I AM saying that Ronnie is the only representation we want, need, deserve, and love.

“Instant Club-Based Deletion” is actually my band’s name

BOYS PLEASE DO MOSTER FACTORY IN BALDUR'S GATE 3. THE CUSTOMISATION.... PLEASE

(Lands on red pigtails) - Griffin, this is a Wendy's.

they gave ronnie the travis special with that purple facial hair

Ronnie Faeburger: Destroyer of The Gender Binary, is literally my new fav Monster Factory creation

Ronnie: "I only fight honorably, they have to hit me first." Also Ronnie: Backstabs Armor Boy to death in cold blood.

Captions are coming y'all! Apologies for going live without them - that was a mistake, but they are in the works and we'll have them up ASAP.

ronnie faeburger: the thembo representation we always needed

I feel like Ronnie's whole moral code got a little muddied here

i saw the butterfly while griffin was scrolling to his blank canvas, and knew in my heart that Ronnie would end up with it

HENRY IS FOUR??? Oh my god I swear he was born last year 😭😭😭

i didn't realize that a gnc monster factory creation would feel so validating. thanks boys for the mild confusion and serotonin

Makes Wendy "We’ve made Ronald McDonald!"

I’m gonna name the next town in my D&D homebrew Fuchsia County

“we’re making ronald mcdonald!” **character has wendy’s pigtails**

"He's COMING to GIVE yoU A freSCAAA"

They literally made a little “m” with the beard// mustache combo...

It brings me joy that Justin and Griffin understand nonbinary energy when they see it. Love that for us all

"A secret boy!" almost made me spit out my drink

"I gave this game to my unborn baby" is Rachel expecting and is this how I'm learning this??? 😂

Can't believe they did armor boy dirty like that

halberds for my real friends and real birds for my hell friends

oh boy its my turn to be weirded out by how much they're saying my name :)

"Valuable lever aheeead." "THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS ON MY UNDERWEAR-" *hard cut*

as a non binary person, i can assure you we're all peepee people (hi, the replies to this are cracking me up, thanks yall)

"valuable lever ahead~" "-that's what it says on my underwear" with NO comment from griffin??

me sat here like 'I bet the boys will make a cyberpunk video soon!' but NO - absolutely fuckin right hooked by this MASTERPIECE

i was literally just thinkin hmm i could go for some genuine nasty boy s

Saw the thumbnail and was like "oh that's definitely Cyberpunk, huh"

Watching Griffin recklessly chow down on those healing leaves while knowing that there's a finite amount of them in the game is literal agony.

Ba da ba ba ba, I’m loving monster factory

4:18 MAH MAIN GOAL.. IS TO BLOW UP... AN' THEN AC' LIKE I DON'T KNOW NOBODEEEEEH. GNYAH GNYAH GNYAH.

17:33 "All the world will be your enemy, Ronnie Faeburger, and when they catch you, they will kill you. But first, they must catch you."

"we are freeing themselves from the gender binary" very based

Can't believe I just found out Griffin and Rachel were having another baby via Monster Factory

Just a quick note for everyone: if you’re eating cereal while you watch this, do not take a big swig of milk just as 15:20 rolls around

The pure joy at the teeth options made my morning

ngl I animated Ronnie in my head during the character creation process w/ Travis' voice....

DROP EVERYTHING THE BOYS ARE BACK

Uuuuuh as a long red-haired, bearded nonbinary person I feel honored and horrified that you decided to do an entire monster factory about me.

McElroys, my dad just passed away a couple days ago and I can't express how much your brand of comedy is helping me. Thank you so so much for just being positive people and for always trying to bring smiles into the world.

2:39 Hate to say it but... That's just like Bart

"Start shit, get hit" is now my new life motto

Oh *no* I'm gonna need to produce some Final Pam/Ronnie Faeburger shipping art. I don't know why but I am here for the dichotomy

Omg monster factory is literally the only thing keeping my mental health a float

When the world needed them most, they appeared

i know theyre yellow and not green but the dim lighting of the game + the barbarian outfit is creating strong shrek vibes

Demon Souls: Rated B for "Babies".

"valuable lever ahead" "thats what it says on my underwear" justins jokes are so underappreciated

I started my McElroy journey on Polygon's Monster Factory when you first started it. It was many years losing it to those videos, then I got a night shift job and found your podcast empire. Now coming to these videos means so much more than ever!

Griffin yelling "SCUSI, SCUSI, SCUSI!" while getting stuck in a corner or getting stunlocked is my favorite ongoing bit

“I dOnT LiKe sCaRs.” The Final Pam is shaking her head from the Great Commonwealth In The Sky.

I am a nonbinary vegetarian that actually works at McDonalds. I think that the company should 100% adopt Ronnie Faeburger as the new mascot.

I'm really happy this opened with "A Soul Still Burns" because as I've watched people play this game I can't help but say that to myself all the time.

I like how at 14:47 you can hear the exact moment Justin’s stream caught up with the joke.

I'm early, and yet I can hear the siren song of the name 'Ronald McDonald' floating along in the wind. I float a couple feet off the ground, huffing the stink like in a cartoon.

When I die, I want to be reincarnated as the McElroy's childhood mailman.

Finally, some good nonbinary rep! I'm immediately getting a full back tattoo of Ronnie Faeburger

It's very silly because well, it's Monster Factory, but as an nb person this made me so, so happy. I've been hoping for an explicitly trans or nb monster for a long time, and I was so so excited by this one. And they were just.. so good about it! Immediately being super consistent with their pronouns and everything. And they didn't change anything about how they did the episode either. I think the line about it being disingenuous to not make them a peepeeperson really sorta sums it up. This series, in other hands, could have really easily become a vehicle for all sorts of racism, ableism, homophobia, etc., making fun of the characteristics of their creations and comparing it to real life minorities. Or alternatively, it could have been them just making a bunch of white men, and getting skittish about making anyone else out of fear of making it racist. But it's so utterly silly and utterly positive and utterly accepting, and they treat everyone the same. It feels like they're always rooting for their creations instead of against them, cheering them along in absurd quests that theyre drastically over or under powered in. And it felt like in this episode, with a nonbinary character, they were rooting for me.

My Candlenights gift has just drops, it seems!

I miss monster factory ,,,,

I really love the videos where Justin gets an idea in his head and will not take Griffin's chaos energy so lightly, I feel like those characters are some of the wildest ones

juice called me out in real time when I thought “omg finally enby rep in monster factory omg no it’s a peepee person”

“We’re kinda making a destiny.” Me: **slowly looks up at my tv, with my guardian literally standing in front of Zavala**

Ronnie Faeburger with the truck nuts on the butt. McDonald's really went in a bold new direction and I have to say I think it was super brave, like borderline heroic.

Glad that my 2021 halloween costume has already been planned, thank you, brothers

Can’t believe they missed the obvious “Pee Pee Longstockings”

based on thumbnail alone I wondered what on earth was happening. And then the video played Dark Souls and it immediately made sense

I love that there's no where in the video or description that actually tells me what game they're playing

"I'm TOTALLY NOT the prince of this kingdom with a tragic backstory that ties to the big boss" "Well that is good. Because otherwise this would be fucked up" (kicks off of ledge)

Okay KZfaq, my old foe. I'm commenting, I liked the video, I signed up for premium. Now, you're turn. Pay the boys.

I literally just finished the Hell that is online finals last night and today I wake up just in time for a New Monster Factory...this could not be a better start to the holidays

there's a lot to love about this episode but I'm just very pleased to hear how much the boys have improved at using singular they/them since roswell was introduced back in like 2017

it feels like this every time an episode comes out, but i truly mean it- this was perfect timing for me. thanks, mcelroys.

The boys are being inclusive and I’m *here for it*

"Valuable lever ahead.." "That's what my underwear says." please god tell me this is the next McElroy merch idea, I need a pair of those

Just a fun and cool fact about Ronnie’s name: it technically is also Ronnie of the Fae! Going by German naming convention faeburger would mean something along the lines of “citizen of the Fae city”

I know it's not a video game but god, what I would give to see an Artbreeder monster factory episode

This has all my favorite souls game moments, such as griffin saying scuzi, them jokingly underplaying a serious moment, them acting like running away is a careful strategy and not fear and panic, them having a friend in game who won't actually fight, and of course, insisting it's a baby game for babies (plus special easter egg of truck nuts makes me think of pat's video)

Ronnie Faeburger: OKAY, WHO ORDERED A 3-PEICE AND A BISCUIT??

The Maiden in Black didn't seal you in the Nexus. The Arby's Witch did. Arby "The Meathead" McDonald must be protected from Ronnie Faeburger's furious wrath.

McElroys at it again, saying enby rights.❤️

Dear McElroy family, How does it feel to be the only thing some of us have genuinely smiled at or found joy with for an entire year? Asking for a friend. Please keep up everything you're doing. You're truly amazing and I love all of you.

YES THESE TWO BOYS AND THEIR MONSTERS ARETHE ONLY THINGS GETTING ME THROUGH TJIS YEAR I STG

THEYTHEM MONSTER THEYTHEM MONSTER 😭💖

I'm so thrilled there are now two Ronald McDonald based nonbinary icons - Noel Fielding and Ronnie Faeburger

im so proud of ronnie faeburger for showing people what being nonbinary is all about.

no but as a nonbinary i am currently in tears from finally havng monster factory rep
