The Life ( and death ) of Brian - The Adventure Zone

I won't lie, every time I listen to the podcast I always imagine your designs and your soundtrack.

It's a little irritating, actually! Like, I just got to this scene, and I'm like "where's the music"? You've spoiled me :)

I’m on my third relisten of the series and so obviously I’m back here AGAIN because DAMN this one just goes so hard, I want a whole show in this style so bad

Oh my god your character design is stunning

You helped me get into TAZ because of this animation like 6 years ago. Came back to say thank you so much for making this for people to discover.

“HOW do we tell them apart?!” 😂🤣

back here for my propably thousandth rewatch 🤣

We figured out who Gundrun Rockseeker is but what about Gundun Lockseeker 😥

I still can’t believe we went from fighting a fancy german to saving the world from an eldritch abomination

RIP magic brian, you will forever be in our hearts, you were the most beloved joke-ish character ever, may you rest peacefully in the eternal sea of the astral plane.

To think we came from scenes like this to Johann's message. Christ, Balance will forever be a triumph of collaborative storytelling.

I love how everyone is just laughing hysterically the entire time

Nothing will ever be funnier than Magic Brian's death scene. The first time I heard it I laughed so hard I cried uncontrollably. I just went looking for it again because I needed a little Spider Bryan bump.

We need more Brians and Bryans in this world.

the pause and fall just made me think point and click adventures XD

Don’t forget he came back in the crystal kingdome

God it's so cool that the graphic novel designs are so iconic, so well-made that near everyone sees them like that now

I have genuinly heard or seen nothing about this


but now im intrigued

Rest In Peace magic Bryan, we truly didn’t know you long enough

Really great takes on the designs and expressions. I always return to this scene every now and then, it never fails to crack me up.

I love that Griffin says “that was primo” but like that was all him so he’s just complimenting himself lol

Your brian deLIGHTS me

was that a jojo's reference

I only discovered TAZ late last year, but this scene is the one that really, REALLY sold me on this (up to that point) Silly and ridiculous podcast, and on the McElroys and Griffin especially.

What's the music during the credits tho?

that comedic timing fuckin RUINED me

This just has such mbmbam energy, like Griffin completely deadpan doing a bit while his family wheezes with laughter is my favourite song

Imagine you're dying at the bottom of a pit, and as you make your final speech, the guy who kicked you in can't stop laughing

The dwarfs look like Disney characters and I love it

The part where he says “oh I landed on Bryan” kills me every time TAZ is the freaking best

This is a german Loki

i keep coming back to this animatic because no matter how many times i have listened to this bit i laugh so hard i almost cry. probably one of my favorite things in the entire campaign.

this is so incredibly done!!

😂😂😂

Timeless. The buildup will never get old

omg this made me laugh so hard i snorted XD yo who did the voices? id love to follow them to XD

Is that In the Arms of the Angels???? in the background???????? LMAO

I totally forgot about this, thank you!

Not Taako dropping Merle with that little shiteating grin!!!!

I revisit this video when I need to smile and it never fails. It's the "he's a bad boy" for me.

"In the arms of the angels" KILLED me, dude XD

Watching different TAZ animations from this arc made me remember how much I liked Magic Brian. He was a fun one :D

i’m convinced that griffin decided to use the Magic Brian voice only a split second before he opened his mouth and he originally intended to have them both sound the same, but realized it would be WAY funnier if the disguise was really shitty 😂

This is so amazing. The character designs, the posing, the expressions, the shot compositions--all incredible. Also, the scene is funny as all hell. Fun fact: when I started listening to TAZ Balance, I listened to it while working out. This scene left me utterly incapacitated, dying laughing while laying on a bench trying to do crunches. My workout ground to a halt for a solid 10-15 minutes and I got a lot of weird looks. Had to stop listening to Balance while working out after that. Anyway, amazing work!

If this wasn’t funny I would’ve cried

I think this is my favorite animated version of this scene!

Nobody:

Me:eating mints out a big bag laughing

I'm in the end game and i miss these silly fun beginning moments

I still watch this when I'm feeling down. Amazing every time.

The fucKING SEYMOUR MUSIC FROM FINAL FANTASY 10 LMAO
