I think we all felt the pull as soon as it was said. Like "ew what was that? But no wait...what WAS that??"
The Fungalore cosplays are gonna be wild
I listened to this after catching the stream they recorded right after where they said there's a 0% chance anyone could guess the new year name, and as soon as they started talking about fungalore I absolutely passed away
Thank you so much for the close-up on Travis as he says “my brain is zooming in on Fungalore.” Truly this will be the year of all time
Twenty Fungalore, best friend of Frenchalore, the gnome who works for Stitchfix and makes sure your pants fit right and look good on you
OH CROMSLOR
the fact that the first thing travis said about fungalore was “i’m not wild about it” is craaaaazy
I came to say that too. "I'm not wild about--" and a minute later it's like oh, wait mushroom wizard?? Yes please. Which is exactly what my brain did while listening.
Sometimes you have to sit with a wild idea for a bit until you realize it kicks ass
He didn’t care for “fun galore”. Fungalore is an entirely different dude
@@aryst0krat”a bit” here being literally less than 20 seconds.
H E A R D C H E F
im making my version of fungalore in clay.. they're getting baked any day now.. happy fungalore, yall
Fungalore always existed and the brothers simply awakened it from its unearthly slumber, unleashing its terror upon the world
I am waiting for the Fungalore year merch to drop. He hears my wish. Also loving how Griffin gets so amped for Fungalore that he stands up to empathize his Fungalore thoughts.
I woke up immediately to this ! Fungalore hears my wish
@@muddro420 this is incredibly ominous but i musnt dare question the ways of fungalore
Fungalore feels like a natural progression from monster factory. Love that they just can’t help but create little beasts
big ups to the editor for zooming in when Travis said his brain was zooming in I have been desperately hoping this video would come, and it does not disappoint!
Agreed the editing on this is magnificent
"That's it-no more Discussion over. Fungalore." Juice layin down some bars
Can’t wait for the Unofficial Official Fungalore Fanzine (or, Fangalore 🍄)
please hear my wish and put me on that mailing list 🙏
Fangalore Funzine
I need to be in that so bad
We witnessed an actual elder being force itself into our reality.
This is like watching a cognitohazard SCP crawling into their minds We love Fungalore
heard chef
The fact that this naming happened nearly simultaneously with the premiere of the Dungeon Meshi anime coming out, with that little mushroom monster...what a year it's gonna be
as much as I was hoping for a nice 20studymore: keep your grades up, fungalore was the ultimate choice to go with
This is the Wizard that Griffin has been approaching all along! He just didn't know it.
i couldn’t be happier about fungalore
It's the energy I need to get through this year. He heard your wish.
Griffin’s standing up energy is everything!
i love that as soon as two of them start jamming with an idea they know its too late and its going to be a whole thing (like giving a TAZ character three characteristics)
I already feel more at peace knowing Fungalore exists and hears our wishes. ❤
I love when Griffin stands, he's such a proud little guy 🥰
He heard my wish!!!
Griffin’s gleeful laughter when he sees Travis has jumped on his Fungalore bus. Holy shit. 😂😂😂
This was a genuinely magical moment 🍄
merry twenty fungalore: reduce, reuse, reanimate 🍄
I don't know if "merry" is the right adjective here? It's not bad, but I feel like Fungalore would demand something more... solemn, or powerful. "A respectful and observant Fungalore to you" Something akin to Shai Hulud: May His passing cleanse the world.
Fungalore is worming into their brains. It's kind of like a cordycepts fungus of some sort...
Heard, chef
i'm not a good or enthusiastic artist, but the power of fungalore is such that the SECOND i finished listening to this episode i began trying to draw my immediate crystal clear mental image of him. the absolute magnetic force of this completely insane idea.... chef's kiss 🍄
when they do these i always find myself wanting to interject for half the episode to say like “Funny Money Store, Counterfeit More”
The McElroy brothers are my three brain cells slowly becoming pagan.
The love I have for this imaginary fungus man is strange but I will embrace it
I was rooting for “The Quest Begins” as the tag line, but I’m so glad they stuck with Fungalore.
I will buy a Fungalore T-Shirt, please hear my wish Side note: starting a new Skyrim build
Fungalore, standing on a bluff somewhere: "Fus ro whatnow??"
May Fungalore hear your wish this day 🙌
my god the visuals for this bit were so much more than i could have ever asked for
i love fungalore SO MUCH. this alone has made me so pumped for this year.
Heard, chef.
I am so so excited for everything that will come from this, even if it's minimal. OH GOD I CAN"T WAIT FOR THE ANIMATIC OF THIS! ...heard chef.
Is he a relative of Frenchalore from the pinskidan bit?
They must be cousins
Incredible to be living history
I’m sad that they were so close to but didn’t think of “20 pterosaur: the p is silent” but am elated by our new fungal friend(?).
Fungalore so powerful he makes Travis experience concentration for the first time
fungalore is a tulpa
Fungalore is the "Me" in "My Brother, My Brother and Me"
This represents a brave new step in the Naming of the Year tradition. I welcome it. I welcome Fungalore. 🍄
I have listened to every singe episode at least once, and never been so fucking pleased about a year theme. I am actually kinda worried about HOW pleased I am with Fungalore. But that too pleases me. Facebook had already decided that I needed to see like three different groups about "hey lookit this cool fungus!" and I had already *heartily agreed*. I was already on board with Fungalore, they just gave him a name. People certainly are embracing the EFFFFFF outta Fungalore tho!
Also, I love Griffin's hoodie. I wonder if it's coming down the pipeline of new Polygon merch, a limited release that I missed, or a 'sclusie for founders only.
Is that a max fun/McElroy hoodie? Love the color and was gonna ask if anyone knew where to find it
By the Love of Fungalore please put out full video episodes! I would join a paid service to have these beautiful funny boys on my screen.
This is by far the BEST year theme they have done. It made me laugh where all the other ones were "oh, ok"
Thank you, Fungalore.
They stopped the Sound Bath at the end of the show! He DID hear my wish!!!!
Not gonna lie this is my favorite MBMBAM video and I have watched it sooooo many times, its embarrassing
Fungalore hear my wish
Justin would be so perfect for I Think You Should Leave. His Tim Robinson/ Sam Richardson energy is huge in this video
I can’t express how much I love thinking about each of the naming of the years I’ve listened to & reflecting upon all the goofs I’ve lost my mind over with these boys ❤ And now we get to WATCH the madness unfold?? We’re so lucky
Given how many year names have blown up spectacularly in their faces months later (Trump elected in Twenty-Fix-Teen, covid pandemic in Twenty-Funny, Jimmy Buffet dying in Twenty-Sun-and-Sea), I am terrified thinking about how Twenty-Fungalore could ironically backfire on humanity.
tbh Jimmy Buffett passing during Twenty Sun and Sea doesn't feel tragic to me. obviously of course it's sad to lose anyone, but what better year for Mr. Buffett to sail away to the Margaritaville in the sky?
The wishes! They made it!
When I called my wife to tell her that you guys finally started a cult, she told me that she was already a member of Fungalore's congregation so.... Thanks for that, I guess
Every time I watch this I find a new favorite part. Currently it's Justin's "Damnit! No, wait!" as he tries to slow the oncoming Fungalore hype train.
he heard my wish 🍄
I think I'm going to make Fungalore in the sims so he can hear my wishes there
Standing Griffin is fantastic!!!!! lol "I am like 86% for Fungalor!" mans was nearly jumping up and down.
This was the clip i was waiting for
i hope they do a live show where they all dress up as their vision of Fungalore
I got an ad for therapy after this video and I feel like that’s very fitting.
Also would like a "lofi girl" esque KZhead channel of Fungalore standing on his bluff nodding hearing wishes to cool beats.
This is Garfield the Deals Warlock all over again!😂 an all powerful unknown entity!
I wanna pour one out for "Twenty Fungalore, The Quest Begins" I love the idea of the year leading up to a boss fight
