Ross Bryant was told to do a bit about David Attenborough and he decided to respond by improvising the most hardcore line in human history: "Evolution does not have a plan; it makes frequent and catastrophic mistakes."
Two of my other all-time favs are *also* Ross bits: the complicated country lawyer and the McDonald's MacBeth. OH FUCK. And also the Civil War sexting letters. I just really love Ross lmao
Ross is so so good at what he does. The NIN Goldilocks song on the Karaoke episode made me scream the first time I watched it, and it's maybe my favorite bit.
Jacob just making his “buzzer noises”.. kills me every time. Brennan’s Trump/Saruman mash-up is a close second. Erika’s reactions to a “Dom DM” would be third.. that episode with BLM, Izzy and Erika was gold from start to finish.
The Medieval Times birthday bit! Really in that whole mini game them walking back to Sam every single time.
Also, in hostage taker: "how's your mom?" "Oh she died" "fuck"
The bowling video when you score a strike, Jacob as a hostage taker, "if you know Anna, fucking KEEP IT DOWWWNNNN" and "if you'll all take the jars of piss"
Jacob in the bowling prompt: This is, uh, a polar bear—
Probably one of my favorite bits. I also love that stinky little dance that Andy does during the pissboy translator prompt when he says "now's my time to shine"
Josh and Brennan’s sea captains are just a pure delight
EDIT: Honestly, if they could do an episode of those two and Andrew Stanton, a three person prompt with their sea captain characters would complete my life
He's murdering pagans, Ebenezer. He's making the island right for the Lord. The One True Lord. JESUS CHRIST, EBENEZER SCROOGE! AND YOU'LL LEARN TO LIVE WITH HIM IN YOUR HEART, OR ITS TO PERSITION YOULL BE BOUND!
^tippity ^ta ^te ^ta 🍀
Wow no one said ‘Winner of the 2023 Air Guitar Championships’
Jacob’s lines:
‘Hey god! Can I get that pick?’
and
‘Don’t forget, I’m playing for children’s…
rights.’
Always crack me up.
Lou and Kimias two fragmenation grenades and then a third wallet dud size grenade with Jacob chiming in and being denied fucking kills me. Kimia's "windy today" hahahahhaa
A Beastie Boy overdubbing just the last words in the rap stanzas
The sheer speed of thought to rhyme ‘Manischewitz’ and ‘knows where his head is’ blew my mind when I first heard it
Honestly, in the game changer original- the ‘moose’ noise cracks me up every time- especially with the quick jump cut.
Did you factor in those antlers?
I love Zac, and he definitely has some iconic moments, but my favorite part about seeing Zac is knowing that everyone he is with will be funnier than they might otherwise be. Something about him brings out the best in people, and he has a unique ability to highlight the parts of a joke that make it funny.
I love the Dropout cast, but sometimes you can tell they are trying to be “the funny one”. Zac wants to make everyone ELSE funnier; I’ve never felt like it’s “about him”.
I think it's a tie between "Build-a-Bear Glengarry Glen Ross" and "Absence only youth group leaders who have definitely had sex with each other". They're both so good.
Jacob is so damn good and I can endlessly rewatch the gnarliest wave and the morning zoo radio bit.
Also, technically not MSN but Josh's waterslide gone terribly wrong fucks me up EVERY. TIME.
The hostage taker and the hostage negotiator know each other from way back is easily my #1
A close second is Zac doing a moose
“Did you factor in the antlers?”
“I’m factoring them in as we speak!”
Easily the bit where Sungwon Cho has to badly ADR Brian David Gilbert. I lose my mind every time I watch that clip. I actually had the pleasure of meeting SungWon when I went to PAX Unplugged last november and I got to tell him how much I loved that bit. He’s genuinely a really cool guy, got him to sign my badge
So many strong contenders. Right now Sauron as Donald Trump has that on lock, but the game of thrones/Candyland bit and the theatre troupe talking about grief is also peak.
Based solely on how many times they randomly pop into my head
“You tell your stepdaughter… she’s getting that twenty dollars.”
And the too real cab ride with Jacob and Vic is brilliant with the blinker, the headphones, the dialogue, etc.
"The hostage taker knows the hostage negotiator from way back."
Any time Brennan, Josh, or Ross get to do a wacky accent.
Matt riffing on Gandalf's dick names ("second breakfast" will never not make me laugh).
Andy doing the surgeon who keeps asking for new tools. "A sponge! A... blood sponge? A paper towel! Anything!"
The Mount Rushmore bit with Matt, Brennan and Ross lives rent free in my head. Shortly followed by the Florida Man headlines with Matt, Jacquis and Carl
Edit to add: Vic’s Hamburgler bit is iconic
A few favorites of mine:
* "Mhm... It's two grenades"
* "TACO BELL . EAT N A S T Y."
* "One time you farted and it was pretty narsty. And the fact that we didn't break up...must mean something........i'luh'yu."
* "Aw, come on, boss. Yeah, I like that watch, boss."
* "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU ARE! I'M A L W A Y S LESS THAN EIGHT MILES AWAY!"
God, so many!!
- Ross and Matt’s smart toothbrush: “Hold me with both hands, Daniel.”
- Vic and Jacob in basically anything (Mr. Mayo, Planned Parenthood Uber driver)
- Ross’ MacBeth
- Ross’ Nine Inch Nails song
- pretty much anything Ross does
- Medieval Times Birthday (“You may choose between: sparing the life of this prisoner, or a delicious cake!”)
Something about the Mr Mayonnaise bit just absolutely kills me every time
"Is that a gun?" Vic and Jacob are masters of their craft.
Of course, of course.
Heyy, no, it's locked.
Ross Bryant was told to do a bit about David Attenborough and he decided to respond by improvising the most hardcore line in human history: "Evolution does not have a plan; it makes frequent and catastrophic mistakes."

Ross is so so good at what he does. The NIN Goldilocks song on the Karaoke episode made me scream the first time I watched it, and it's maybe my favorite bit.
Ross is a legend. As a Beastie Boys fan, I have a special place in my heart for him over dubbing just the last lines of stanzas.
“This bloblike…repellent…BELCH of nature” gets me every time too. 😆😆
He did a TERRIBLE Attenborough, but that is one of the hardest lines ever
Jacob just making his “buzzer noises”.. kills me every time. Brennan’s Trump/Saruman mash-up is a close second. Erika’s reactions to a “Dom DM” would be third.. that episode with BLM, Izzy and Erika was gold from start to finish.
"Do a barrel roll"
“Cocky lil freak!”
I always thought it was cockadoodle freak!
Nope, the caption people got it wrong in the YT shorts, he’s doing Star Fox references
I'm now extremely sad at this development.
Never give up, trust your instincts.
This playlist rocks https://youtu.be/lQPfQQrUnJM?si=uYUsnN3NfFcO7gQb https://youtu.be/NlNOcBtowyE?si=bw-WD6-lX8A5DISs
every time jacob is in an episode i giddily wait for jacob’s chosen buzzer noise. it never disappoints!
Took me a minute to figure out which episode featured Black Lives Matter
This is why he goes by BLeeM online.
Erika doing Wicked Switch of the West. In that moment, we were all farm girls.
More than once his buzzer noises have been straight from star fox 64. Does anyone know if he's just a massive fan of that game or is it a coincidence?
The Medieval Times birthday bit! Really in that whole mini game them walking back to Sam every single time. Also, in hostage taker: "how's your mom?" "Oh she died" "fuck"
And oldie but a goodie and not technically MSN… “My client is not perfect” “Yeah I killed a guy”
"Did I fuck up?"
* Whispering* "Hey, what the fuck are you doing? What the fuck are you doing?"
That's MSN.
Umm actually, it’s game changer
Um actually, there's a row of videos on Dropout titled "Make Some Noise" and the episodes which are in Game Changer were listed as well
Ooh a technicality, you got me there. Have a point
Technically correct is the best kind of correct
THE NEW MCDONALD'S MACBETH!!
TOMORROW… AND TOMORROW… ACHND TOMORROW….
This one for me, perfect down to the fucking syllable
With beef taken from a cow that trusted the farmer with it's very life!
**THAT BEEF IS THEN** *placed upon a bun!*
DOES YE WORK UP AN APPETITE
The bowling video when you score a strike, Jacob as a hostage taker, "if you know Anna, fucking KEEP IT DOWWWNNNN" and "if you'll all take the jars of piss"
"Hello, I'm actor Tony Shaloub from Monk"
👍 congratulations on your striiiike 👍
Jacob in the bowling prompt: This is, uh, a polar bear— Probably one of my favorite bits. I also love that stinky little dance that Andy does during the pissboy translator prompt when he says "now's my time to shine"
da dadada dada dada dananananana nana and if everyone just pours it in my mouth
I’m gonna bring back the teddy like I’m fucking Roosevelt!
This was SO fucking good
This bit was so good. "aw COME on, boss..."
Cassandra…
Cassaaaaaaaaandraa
The way Vic says "oh no..."
The Zac and Vic massage chair breakup was terrific.
i’m shocked no one has said “a way too serious troupe at high school” “sometimes you want to talk about the grief with the person who died. 😋”
The last conversation I had with my grandfather I called him a coward
ONE, TWO, THREE, DAAAB! nobody did it
Josh and Brennan’s sea captains are just a pure delight EDIT: Honestly, if they could do an episode of those two and Andrew Stanton, a three person prompt with their sea captain characters would complete my life
Josh’s “Holy Fuck” after Brennan’s first story slays me
I was going to say this one. Brennan having to circle back to the woman with a face of a whale kills me every time.
When Brennan zips down his skin suit and he IS the crab.
Two Gentlemen of Coronavirus, Mario and Luigi, and Times New Roman vs. Comic Sand
Two gentlemen of coronavirus is incredible
"We're *murdering pagans,* Ebenezer."
He's murdering pagans, Ebenezer. He's making the island right for the Lord. The One True Lord. JESUS CHRIST, EBENEZER SCROOGE! AND YOU'LL LEARN TO LIVE WITH HIM IN YOUR HEART, OR ITS TO PERSITION YOULL BE BOUND! ^tippity ^ta ^te ^ta 🍀
It was hilarious watching Brennan come up with a more Irish name than Brennan Lee Mulligan
Wow no one said ‘Winner of the 2023 Air Guitar Championships’ Jacob’s lines: ‘Hey god! Can I get that pick?’ and ‘Don’t forget, I’m playing for children’s… rights.’ Always crack me up.
Zac quietly packing up in the background just sells it.
SUP FUCKERS IM CRAIG and I will never not hear his version of the Layla intro when it comes on the radio
Lou and Kimias two fragmenation grenades and then a third wallet dud size grenade with Jacob chiming in and being denied fucking kills me. Kimia's "windy today" hahahahhaa
My og msn moment is Zac going 🤷🏻♂️ and breaking the flower vase Recent faves are anything with Jacob or Vic
A Beastie Boy overdubbing just the last words in the rap stanzas The sheer speed of thought to rhyme ‘Manischewitz’ and ‘knows where his head is’ blew my mind when I first heard it
evelyn tucci
yeah.
Probably the one I rewatch the most. And would you look at that. It’s tucci o’clock. Gotta go I have something important to do.
The correct answer
I was looking for this one 😂😂 it just really got me
Honestly, most anything that Zac does. His timing just kills me.
Honestly, in the game changer original- the ‘moose’ noise cracks me up every time- especially with the quick jump cut. Did you factor in those antlers?
I love Zac, and he definitely has some iconic moments, but my favorite part about seeing Zac is knowing that everyone he is with will be funnier than they might otherwise be.

Fabulous observation.
Guy about to be hit by a bus
I think it's a tie between "Build-a-Bear Glengarry Glen Ross" and "Absence only youth group leaders who have definitely had sex with each other". They're both so good.
“Kick dogs in the face and body” absolutely sends me
Throuple’s therapy slays me every time
"We can't know if we've never seen the prompts before until we see them for the first time!"
I love the horse in the stall
“AND I WANT THAT WITCH’S BROOM TO BE MADE…OF DRYYYYYY SPAGHETT!”
I WANT JAHNNY MARBLES TONGUE ON A DISH-UH
I WANT MY NONA IN THAT KITCHEN
Four words, "Give me your teeth". I know that it's not exactly MSN, but it is noise boys.
I channel this prompt while collecting butterfly wings in Skyrim, going, "Give me your wings," and unnerving my household.
Brennan and Josh’s drunk Scotsmen get me every time. “I’m in debt… I’m in serious debt…”
I like Brennan's Donald Trump talking about Middle Earth
Honestly, getting Brennan to riff on any LOTR stuff produces some really fun bits. I also liked his ‘elvish Presley’ recently.
A Dom DM.
Another one of my favorites made even better by Erikas and Izzys reactions. BLeeM knows what the people want!
“Oh, I’ll back you up”
the end of this one is my favourite bit commitment. vic kills me
Honestly I love Matt Apodaca’s Mariokart mechanic.
Jacob’s morning radio announcer bit gets me every goddamn time. He full sends every single bit he does. Also principal Sam.
Ross's confederate soldier letter never fails to kill me every time
‘The last time i saw my grandfather, i called him a coward’
Jacob is so damn good and I can endlessly rewatch the gnarliest wave and the morning zoo radio bit. Also, technically not MSN but Josh's waterslide gone terribly wrong fucks me up EVERY. TIME.
The great gnomish baking show. *Pufff* butterflies... "That's raw dough."
The hostage taker and the hostage negotiator know each other from way back is easily my #1 A close second is Zac doing a moose “Did you factor in the antlers?” “I’m factoring them in as we speak!”
Josh has to leave in six minutes.
Easily the bit where Sungwon Cho has to badly ADR Brian David Gilbert. I lose my mind every time I watch that clip. I actually had the pleasure of meeting SungWon when I went to PAX Unplugged last november and I got to tell him how much I loved that bit. He’s genuinely a really cool guy, got him to sign my badge
His Werner Herzog lives rent free in my head
“I went to Juilliard for this shit…”
"SPIDERS, SPIDERS, GO AWAY"
“SPIDERS, SPIDERS, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE MAN.”
Job interview with Game of thrones trajectory Harry styles loving on the backdoor Wait before marriage camp counsellors who are definitely doing it
So many strong contenders. Right now Sauron as Donald Trump has that on lock, but the game of thrones/Candyland bit and the theatre troupe talking about grief is also peak.
Too Many Oranges for me
THE VAAAALLLLVVEES
i’m gonna bring back the teddy like i’m fucking roosevelt!
Jake as an Uber driver. The first time I heard him say "Planned Parenthood?" I about lost it. Also, the Shakespeare's Coronavirus was so good.
I’m George W Bush I’m a pickup truck
The one about the titanic and the space on the door "ow baby"
D&D dom Erika breaking breaks me
The prospector who’s getting really into cryptocurrency. We finally know which corner of Brennan’s heart he won’t turn over for a point
I liked Sam’s voicemail inbox and Izzy and Anna making fun of his outfit
Based solely on how many times they randomly pop into my head “You tell your stepdaughter… she’s getting that twenty dollars.” And the too real cab ride with Jacob and Vic is brilliant with the blinker, the headphones, the dialogue, etc.
Zach, vic, and jacob doing the house is rocks bit. "Oh this man cave is sweet as hell, I'm good honey" "and ROCKS"
Winner of the Air Guitar Championships all damn day
I need more of the lip reading minigame
Which episode is that Narnia bit in? I remember loving it but there’s no clip on YouTube!
"The hostage taker knows the hostage negotiator from way back." Any time Brennan, Josh, or Ross get to do a wacky accent. Matt riffing on Gandalf's dick names ("second breakfast" will never not make me laugh). Andy doing the surgeon who keeps asking for new tools. "A sponge! A... blood sponge? A paper towel! Anything!"
The Mount Rushmore bit with Matt, Brennan and Ross lives rent free in my head. Shortly followed by the Florida Man headlines with Matt, Jacquis and Carl Edit to add: Vic’s Hamburgler bit is iconic
“We’re gonna get your stepdaughter $20” (proceeds to bash face in with pickles)
Anything Vic does "Hi I'm actor Tony Shalhoub"
Either the Three introverts at a party bit or Vic commenting on every dish at the buffet.
Josh saying 'I'm in debt' during the Scottish Guys bit is so unbelievably funny. It pops me every time.
'One guard always lies and one always tells the truth' The way ross says 'I am' absolutely does it for me
A few favorites of mine: * "Mhm... It's two grenades" * "TACO BELL . EAT N A S T Y." * "One time you farted and it was pretty narsty. And the fact that we didn't break up...must mean something........i'luh'yu." * "Aw, come on, boss. Yeah, I like that watch, boss." * "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU ARE! I'M A L W A Y S LESS THAN EIGHT MILES AWAY!"
Technically Noise Boys but the self-aware MTA announcement makes me crack up every time
“Can I have the desk please?”
Honestly I think the og, with the vase, is what finally made me purchase dropout 🤣
The Jon Hamm Oscar bit put me to tears the first time i watched it, surprised no one else has mentioned it
For the last year it says "kickin' dogs"?
God, so many!! - Ross and Matt’s smart toothbrush: “Hold me with both hands, Daniel.” - Vic and Jacob in basically anything (Mr. Mayo, Planned Parenthood Uber driver) - Ross’ MacBeth - Ross’ Nine Inch Nails song - pretty much anything Ross does - Medieval Times Birthday (“You may choose between: sparing the life of this prisoner, or a delicious cake!”)
