i am so intrigued by the in-world sociocultural/political implications of “Tuna History Month” . are tuna more historically marginalized within the fish society? or is it because they’re underrepresented in society due to overfishing by humans? what IS the legacy of tuna history? they set up the questions and so i must ask them

mikes mic always makes me feel bilingual bc like 50% of the script is memes and cultural moments that do not get explained while the other 50 is english

The fact that this is sponsored by squarespace and not surfshark is a crime

the fact that they got one of the biggest directors of mafia movies to play a fish in this is kind of excellent

Funny how Mike consistently keeps us rats fed yet he never leaves a crumb

This movie did more for LGBT acceptance than any Marvel representation and you canNOT change my mind

I wanna say if you do a video on the penguin movies, don’t forget that March of the Penguins also came out around the same time as Happy Feet, and grossed over $125 million worldwide, even though it was literally just a documentary about penguins. There was legitimately something INSANE going on with penguins during the mid 00’s.

the "who's gonna clean your reef donald trump" joke had me busting out laughing for 5 minutes

The Olivia Wilde reaction gif recreation is always funny to me like 6 times a video and it’s still a guaranteed giggle

Absolutely obsessed with every single instance of Mike pointing out how this anthropomorphic deep sea world is unrealistic

girl, you can’t talk about the animated fish era of the 2000’s without mentioning the bug era!! a bug’s life, antz and the ant bully? truly revolutionary

The FACT they got Ziggy Marley the ACTUAL son of Bob Marley to be in this movie singing to the reoccurring song "Three little birds (don't worry)" by the man himself what a mindblowing thing!

Mike: posts two iconic videos one after another His audience: * Olivia Wilde nod*

"Miss Aria, you're a killer, not Ezra's wife" reference kills me every time

The transition to Frankie'S funeral... jaw on the floor, eye popping out of head, millions found deceased. GAGGED.

“you know what nemo doesn’t have….a mum” SHOOK ME to my core!! I have been rendered speechless

As an dual citizen, the mafia storyline went right over my head as a kid. And now I’m so much older that it’s hilarious because it’s so ridiculous. Everyone knows dolphins are the mafia of the seas.

Actually obsessed with Katie Current having a different accent for the American, Australian AND British version. Genuinely thrown me that she wasn’t always British

Michael Imperioli and Vincent Pastore voice acting in this too is incredibly iconic, as they were starring in The Sopranos at the same exact time. Excellence.....

I'd like to mention that in the British release for this movie Katie Current is British instead of American/Australian. No idea why she's the only character they changed to fit the region.... other than the fact that mother KEEPS IT CURRENT!!!

Nemo's motherlessness nearly made me fall down the stairs laughing. My heart definitely lost a few years of beats but it was worth it

Absolutley wild to drop TWO iconic videos in just two days. What a slay thing to do Michael Microphone ❤

That mafia accent...Mike's Italian roots coming in clutch

From starvation to devouring, just iconic behaviour

mike I want you to know that I was in a literal class in college where we learned about the mafia and I had a whole project where I analyzed shark tale. it is incredibly accurate as far as the inner workings of the mafia! like one of the most mafia accurate movies to date. comparable to the godfather!

Dragging Nemo for not having a mom is a bit criminal to me. And yes, we need a video on the Big Penguin Agenda especially because Brittany Murphy was in Happy Feet and I love her! Rest in peace Brittany, you would've loved Mic's Mike.

As a Frankie who grew up absolutely obsessed with this film, I am so satisfied by this. Shame I was killed by an anchor. Also, Mike, I wish you had the DVD, because there were about a billion special features and easter eggs, including this surreal full-cast dance-off sequence and if I'm not mistaken, a whale-wash mini game? The SF menu was just the fish-city scene but you could select different signs and open secret menus.

At 3:40 , Stephen Spielberg is one of the founders of Dreamworks so that why they could use the Jaws music lol (Though that does imply that Stephen Spielberg, like Schrödinger’s cat, simultaneously exists in both as a director of a movie in the universe of Shark Tale and as one of the people who brought that very universe into being).

When he said we're all stressed worms on the fish hook of life...I felt that

Honestly, it doesn’t matter if you’d already made a Shark Tale video, Mike. You know we’d all happily watch a second one.

Love that Michael is turning more and more into schaffrilas productions as we speak

I remember owning the Shark Tales, Robots and Cheeta Girls CDs and played them religiously on my Hello Kitty CD player when i had to clean my room 😂

i swear to god mister microphone could summarise the crustiest movie in existence and I'd still watch

I think Mike talked too much about this movie so we collectively made a Mike's mic video in our heads

"but i mean who watched The Wild?" ME 😭 i had it on dvd as a kid and watched it weekly, ngl idk how well it holds up now but rest assured there was at least one of us out there obsessed w that movie

I’m so dead with mike putting on an added Australian accent for troye

i need everyone in this comment section to know that when i was in elementary school, my school put on a musical/play that combined a bunch of early 2000's movies into one titled "a pirate's dream" where the students from high school musical went on a vacation on the pirates of the carribean ship but crashed into madagascar where they ran into the surf's up penguins and alvin and the chipmunks, had to rescue garfield (which plot-wise was sharpay's pet) from a bunch of disney villains, and at the end, took their ship to a car wash... the fish tales car wash.

The transition from Lola saying " let me explain something to you " to the next scene is EVERYTHING.✨️😂

I’d love a series on the Penguin agenda, but I mostly want to hear Father Michael discuss Happy Feet and how traumatizing it was for children, while still having a bombass soundtrack

Shark tale has been such a staple in my life. I’m so glad to see this come up so I can re-hyper fixate on this once more

Calling this a mafia movie is an immediate yes from me

They probably got the rights to the Jaws theme because Spielberg is one of the founders of Dreamworks but still wild way to open this movie tbh

I love how Mike basically has invented his own language of memes and pop culture references that us rats are now fluent in 😂

I remember being on a plane to Germany as a child and one of the only movies available was Shark Tale so I watched it like 5 times in a row. That and the That’s So Raven episode where she turns into a cow.

Yes, YES, absolutely would love a breakdown of the entire Disney vs Pixar vs Dreamworks drama of the 2000s. I was but a child in the 2000s and I watched everything and anything. How cool would it be to have you, in that fabulous way you do, give us the tea on all the shit that was going on behind the scenes 😂

What did we do to deserve this level of mastery? Your videos are my Roman Empire. Thank you for becoming my entire personality

The funniest about Oscar "killing" Frankie and Lenny is that it doesn't look like him defending the city (or himself) against sharks but but it looks like he's taking a hit against the family lol

I get way too excited every time you upload lol The nostalgia, the comedy, the attention to detail *chef’s kiss*.

So confused when I saw this video was released. I was full on convinced that you had already uploaded a shark tale video. I’m glad you addressed the Mandela effect we’re all apparently experiencing.

The amount of times I replayed Mike going “im a vegetarian and I’m not fuckin scared of him” in an Italian accent is wildn out wit nick canon

I am absolutely living for Mike trying to desperately figure out how there is so much technology in this universe meanwhile it’s a movie about talking sea animals

Im so glad SOMEONE highlighted this absolute banger of a soundtrack i have it on cd and know it off by heart. thank u for doing it justice

Let's not forget how iconic the bonus feature games were on the DVD! You could bet on the seahorses, dress up -Lenny- Sebastian the dolphin (and give him an afro if you so pleased), and my mom and I would always play the fish eat fish game together! This entire movie is iconic!

Two videos in just a few days bc we’ve gotta do the sponsored video before the end of the month. I respect it, mike

“You know what Nemo doesn’t have? A mom.” 🗣️🔥

I just finished my final project for my teaching credential program, and my immediate self-care is watching the new Casey Aonso and Mike’s Mic videos back to back 🤙🏻

Posted 3 seconds ago??? I don’t even know what to say other than “thank you”

Mike. You’ve been brainwashed by us microphones to think that you’ve never made a video about this delicious movie. This is literally your fourth video on shark tale. Come to the light😭

Consistently serving the giggles! Thanks MM

i underestimated how much i needed this video in my life

i was just talking about how every movie was based off shark tale today, perfect timing micheal

Literally clicked the video thinking "oh he made another Shark Tale video cool" and it's the first. Mike knows himself and his audience well

Mike's just so freaking funny, man

there's so many godfather references in this film LOL - at 20:35 when the octopus character says "sleeping with the fishes" it's a reference to an entire scene from that movie lmaoo

recently my best friend and I found a huge stash of DVDs abandoned in our neighborhood and shark tale was one of them. can not even put into words how happy I was because the DVD I had at home was ALL scratched up and wouldn’t play properly. I was obsessed with this movie growing up and I still am

Mike talking about one of the most fever dream DreamWorks movies while also wearing the iconic Casino Royale hat. Iconic behavior on full display honestly.

I was literally drowning in my own tears and checking for new videos everyday and HERE WE ARE THANK GOD. Old videos were just not enough!!!!

I love Shark Tale! Ofc mike coming with the fun one liners!

I will never forget my year 9 English teachers face when I handed in a 2000 word essay about how shark tale is a gay allegory.

Mike is keeping us well fed, and he never resorts to leftovers. Every video is fresh and delicious

The comedic “BONK” sound near 20:02 got me cackling aloud

I needed this video more than I've needed anything in my life

“My name is…suspiciously, still ‘Mike.’” LMFAO

two michael microphone videos in a week? WE ARE BEING SPOILED AND I LOVE IT 🎉❤

10/10 iconic contest - so much mike mike recently i cant even handle it

God I was OBSESSED with this movie (and soundtrack) growing up! Still have the DVD. I’m so glad people are still talking about it years later

someone needs to make a compilation of everytime mike has done the olivia wilde nod

watched this yesterday because I could feel the greatness brewing, like what do you mean Robert de Niro is a mafia shark who's son is a vegetarian.

The soundtrack for this movie went so hard!! I still listen to it regularly

I watch Mikes vids so much he has like Lowkey become my inner monologue

The Jack Black and Angelina Jolie cinematic universe is A+.

I swear this movie is a masterpiece in my eyes, I had it on repeat as a child, I can memorize the movie line for line, Will smith was a fool he had me dying the entire movie, and of course the soundtrack was extremely fire. Loved the movie back then and I love it even more now.

The influence these videos have had on my day to day speak

this is beautiful, i've watched this 5 times already

lenny is so queer coded i can’t believe i’ve never noticed this

I think I saw all of these mid-2000s 3D animal comedy movies at around 2 or 3 in the morning at various sleepovers, and all the memories of watching them feel like fever dreams now

i was FERAL for this movie when i was a kid. watched it hundreds of times 😅 hearing you point out the details was everything. this was a gift 🙏🏽

I needed this 🤌🏻

For a long time I actually thought I made up The Wild in a dream, because it's strangely similar to Madascar but bad. Also I remember seeing it in a different language in a laser game hall / cinema when I was nine. Edit: it wasn't a different language I looked it up and the Dutch version apparently has Belgian voice actors in it and I couldn't understand the Flemish dialect as a child (I still can't)

thank you for addressing the greatest piece of cinema with a profound plot and the strongest cast ever heard of

You know what Nemo doesn't have? A mum. JAW DROP.

I was 6 years old when this movie came out and it’s one of the first movies I can remember seeing in theaters. I spent almost the entire thing hiding under the movie theatre seats because I was absolutely terrified of sharks as a baby

We appreciate how well you've articulated your own insights. Keep working hard.

I never considered shark tale to be a “mafia movie” until I saw this title.. Also I really hope you talk about the Jack black shark being vegetarian as an allegory for being gay 🏳️‍🌈 18:55 YUGIOH MENTION HELL YEAH BABY

Mike PLEASE do a video about the animation drama of the 90s/early 2000s, especially the jeffrey katzenberg of it all. i’d watch that one million times

Love the out at the end love all the Gossip Girls

Legit the funniest thing I’ve watched in a while. I was giggling the whole time; no one consistently delivers like you, Mr. Microphone!

I used to LOVE this movie as a kid. Omg. The memories. 😂

thank god is right mike. this video was so good

Baby boy, ya uploads keep me aliveeeeeee
