The entire server crammed under trapdoors in Pearl’s dirt hut is one of the most chaotically wholesome moments I’ve ever seen
reminds me of the phantom incident all the way back to season 1
I like the part where mumbo read the dispensed book, those words really resonated with me, cause I do veri much LOVE perfectly rounds mounds honestly, i really REALLY do
Reminded me of boatem!
I’ve watched it three times now from three different perspectives, and each time is funnier than the last
@@DannyDevitoOffical-TrustMeBrothe first time I saw it was grian's perspective, which is just him walking in and everyone singing happy birthday. NO other context!
Etho figuring out something was up, but being willing to give it to you and not ruin it - the true mark of Best Friends.
or rather he was able to use it for his own gain
@@PoiuyKnightSLA-
Judging from his video, I don't think he realized at all. He was more suspicious of Bdubs
Friendship ended with Autocrafter. Etho is now my best friend -Mumbo (probably)
@@Americanbadashhetho definitely knew at 10:05
I love that twice now, Mumbo has been too nice for certain people’s tasks. For Grian he laughs all the time, for bdoubs, he gets interested into boring stories
He's too polite of a lad
He also wouldn’t tell Jimmy to leave and even joined the shenanigans
And didn't insult Lizzy
@@livmysterynight1100 Yeah he didn't question if she was doing a task with her weird shenanigans
Plus he gathered a full stack of gravel for someone else
I love that Mumbo's interpretation of "best friends" is "I'll do chores for you and defer to you for all decisions" lolol
is that not what best friends are?
Good friends with Grian
This series has went from "Doing a task without getting caught" to "Just everybody doing REALLY weird stuff and no one questioning it" and I love it
Really screwed Lizzie over too, nobody was guessing tasks out of fear of getting it right
@@jorrit_8292yeah she was acting so weird and no one wanted to say anything because they didn’t want to make her fail
Which made her fail 😭
@@Me1on97sadly yeah, we need tasks like these though so people will actually guess tasks. Otherwise every session will be people getting tons of op loot. The series would end soon after the first red life.
Would be more fun if someone else guessing your secret made you lose hearts/fail your secret. Otherwise you can do weird stuff an unlimited amount of times before the session ends with no repercussions
I love how Etho just traded Mumbo for a cow and this worked
Classic human trafficking
Classic human trafficking.
Classic human trafficking
Classic human trafficking
Classic human trafficking
Between the weird sideways house, the collecting gravel for Lizzy and the building of a corner in pearls house, imeediately jumping in the hole and talking about getting others involved in the mound cult, I think the takeaway from this series is that Mumbo is extremely suseptable to peer pressure.
I think he is just very friendly and always wants to be part of the shenanigans happening. And that's why his friendship with Grain works so well ❤

@@reagyman405Grian
@@reagyman405he's a renowned baker
@@reagyman405 It's a bit of a meme though it could also be autocorrect.
Here’s an idea: Film a nature documentary over two people on the server who aren't you for at least 60 seconds. If anyone notices you or interrupts the film you must stop and film someone else
Oh that's a good one
5 am pearl vibes XD
Lol, good one
maybe 5 mins, but i also have an idea, what about you have to distract etho from doing something essential for 15 minutes, and just have to have him doing literally nothing efficient, lol.
I would love this, best idea yet.
I love how they all not only collectively decided to go under trapdoors in Pearl's base, but also to start singing happy birthday to Grian.
That was the only part that made me suspicious too
theyre just all "yes and" people lol@@victhefoxygamer_6180
As well as the fact that Grian’s birthday is literally in *August* ?! Like, Scar, what are you even talking about mate 😂 Edit: Sorry - Scar, what are you even *singing* about mate
@@victhefoxygamer_6180 Grian said "Oh, you shouldn't have" as he walked in, so he basically started the joke
@@yanchukcha9748 Fair, however that would be an amazing task "get 3 or more people to join in singing happy birthday to another"
Task idea: Make a useless redstone contraption that does absolutely nothing and explain it to someone how it works for 5 minutes. If they leave or get distracted, restart the timer. Start the conversation with, "it's really quite simple."
I think it would be better to bore them because hermits would listen to him.
Or have to convince them it actually does something.
@@nikkibrowning4546which would be even funnier if it’s a Hermit who DOES get redstone
Good, good owo
1 minute is too quick, 5 minutes sounds more appropriate
18:31 I can't stop repeating this, the "inside the camel?!😟" and the laugh after
😭😭😭
I burst out laughing when I heard that
Me too. Their laugh is so sudden loud and infectious I love it.
don't worry Mumbo, we are all fangirls of Etho. Etho is a national treasure.
INTERnational
The nation of Canada, if I'm not mistaken.
I want Mumbo to continue forcing himself onto Etho as a bestie. . . Like, for the rest of the series.
YESSSS. I kind of want to see Cleo be like: Why are you here? Is this your task AGAIN?
you really should have worded those first 9 words differently
@@bleepy9551 You really should have read beyond those first 9 words before committing to a response.
@@voltsiano116 hey, im just saying out of context those first 9 words sound really weird
Was that your secret task?...
Honestly, the whole trapdoor shenanigans is probably going to be one of the most memorable parts of this series... a LOT of individual things just happened to work together in tandem to make it happen. Jimmy's task made him come to Pearl's house in the first place, which led to Mumbo wondering what was going on, leading him to find Pearl, Impulse came along with them to see what was happening, then Mumbo added on his section of the corner leading to him placing a few trapdoors, which led to the others also messing around with trap doors, and because Scar's task was to be Pearl's hypeman he started bringing people to Pearl's base, and then EVERYONE just sorta ended up joining in.
Dominoes!
And this had NOTHING with Joel’s task to start a Cult, either
Everyone except Martyn 😢
@@rainapatel3398 And Etho.
Mumbo only used trap doors because he has them as the entrance for his base, which he only has trap-doors because it is sideways, which only happened because of Bdoub's task in episode one.
I dont know why but Mumbo saying, “I still fanboy and get nervous” about Etho just threw me through a loop. Like, Mumbo is a fan of the same youtuber I used to watch as a kid- Etho is just such a chill fella I often forget how much of an OG he is. Its just crazy to me lol
I don't know why, but that "Oh yeah I'm weaponizing BEES" caught me so off guard and had me absolutely cracking up.. The Life series has had me hooked since day one, but this season has already produced some of the absolute best content on this platform in just 2 episodes. I can't wait to see how the rest of it goes.
Bees can be absolute monsters in Terraria, just imagine it in Minecraft
I like how Mumbo titled his video *Best Friends* while Etho went with *Server Full of Weirdos*
Mumbo getting all nervous around etho is honestly adorable
5:06 "I still fanboy and get nervous."
@@voltsiano116 I didn't even notice that xD
8:28 - i'm a huge fan of these little edits you've been making lately. they're nice and subtle, but i can tell you were laughing about it for at least 10 minutes in the editing phase.
Thank you so much for timestamping that--I must have glanced away at that moment because I completely missed it watching the video.
@@dbseamzME TOO
I'VE BEEN LAUGHING AT THAT CLIP FOR 5 MINUTES I LOVE IT SO MUCH
I think Mumbo coming up with the Earth idea to get closer to Etho for his task is the sneakiest play ever and when watching other people’s perspectives, I never guessed it was task related. I thought it was just Mumbo being Mumbo 😂
Task idea: patronise a player on a subject they know lots about. Explain game design to Tango, teach Bdubs about gradients, that sort of thing
playersplaining
It has to be absolutely wrong info too
this is so good
that would be hilarious
especially if the person who gets this task knows nothing about say redstone and they have to talk to Tango or something
that trapdoor bit in pearl's base was probably one of, if not my favorite hermitcraft shenanigans
Best part: it's not even Hermitcraft
Hermitcraft and friends shenanigans is one of the best things to come out of this series!
I can't wait to see the animatics that come from it
I loved when they all cheered for each new person to arrive, so wholesome and poor Pearl 😂❤
I was hoping everyone had the exact same task to be Etho’s best friend, except for Etho, whose task is to completely avoid everyone for 30 mins.
You know you've got a real best friend when he sells you off to the gravel mines.
I love how Mumbo was way more successful in starting a cult despite that not even being his task. I guess experience pays off with that sort of thing!
if only joel did that
Wait, what cult?
@@RhhhinnnI think It's the mooners from season 8, correct me if I'm wrong
@@Rhhhinnn Mumbo started the trap door thing in this episode and got everyone else on the server to join in. And he previously started hermit challenges (basically a cult) and the mooners (definitely a cult)
@@OceanBagel Oh, okay. Thanks for the info!
Task Idea - You have to make everyone around you suspicious about what you are doing, but never do anything
Genius
That would be the easiest task, everyone is suspicious of everyone already, and there really is no fail condition.
That was the task of LDsahadowlady in this episode
@@jc_art_it was LDsahadowlady task and she failed
the tasks generally have to be slightly more tangible than this. "Make 5 people say they're suspicious of you" could be a task, or "For 15 minutes, only do things that you normally wouldn't do", but "make everybody suspicious but never do anything" is a much harder thing to measure even subjectively.
You can tell how mumbo is genuinely nervous around etho
I love that Jimmy and Lizzie basically got "yes, and" -ed to death in Week 2. Everybody was just way too willing to play along!
The way some of these tasks are lining up, like mumbo having the perfect excuse to go to etho, is brilliant. Unless mumbo only suggested the planet knowing they needed wool and that etho had a wool farm, if so mumbo is a genius
...I figured it was obvious that's why Mumbo said that? Perhaps it's less that he's a genius And more that _you aren't_ >3>;
thats jus mean to say though lol. @@juliewinchester1488
@@juliewinchester1488It's interesting that it was Martin who seemingly first suggested the need for blue wool, but yes, it was Mumbo who then "realised" that they need to go to Etho for the wool farm.
@@juliewinchester1488lmaooo
@@juliewinchester1488 But i did say he could've said it on purpose, still though, doesn't make my point invalid as the whole reason etho had a wool was because of his session 1 task >3>;
I like how Mumbo mentions how good Joel’s base looks, meanwhile Joel is talking about how much he hates it 😂
Artist mind lol
Looks a bit like a pp tbh...
@@Craeonkie shush
@@NaisanSama teehee
I like Joel's base, probably one of the best on the server right now. Sorry Jimmy.
I absolutely love that "Be friends with Etho" Is a task that they put in the cycle to be randomly picked. The fact that they knew that would be difficult for anyone on the server must have had them absolutely giggling during the planning phase.
I love how Mumbo has basically been a yes man to all the wrong people for 2 episodes straight
Honestly a joy hearing Mumbo interact with so many more hermits than he usually does - he has his core interactions with Grian and Scar on Hermitcraft which is expected, but getting to see him hang out for entire episodes with other people is so much fun!
Mumbo has posted three days in a row, that's incredibly impressive
I really hope he doesn't burn himself out with it, but he seems pretty okay atm
I heard this in mumbo’s tone of speaking 😂
This session was recorded right after the first session because of people going to twitchcon
22:19 "Grian!" "What?" "Sorry, force of habit."
Mumbo genuinely seems to be having a very fun time in this series and it makes me so happy. It seems he’s embraced the saying yes to anything that happens, with Bdubs’ upside down house and Jimmy’s house in pearls mound. It’s so much fun just going along for the ride even if it ends in a crash and burn sometimes
Mumbo's laugh at 6:03 made me smile. Something about a wheezy hearty laugh just brings a good mood, especially since he mostly giggles. Also, learning that he still fanboys over Etho makes me want to find all of their interactions.
Everyone is an Etho fanboy/girl, alright?
@@TopOceanKitty_Gachayeah, he is legendary in the Minecraft scene and I’m always astounded that he’s still creating content to this day
@@rocu5036Not only making content, but still an extremely popular Minecraft creator. A lot of people from his era like Direwolf20 are still around, but not popular anymore. Then others like DanTDM have shifted their content. Others like a lot of the old CubeSMP people just stopped making content or deleted their channels though.
I absolutely broke every time the bunk crew welcomed a new member through the door with *EEEAAAYYYY!*
The Italian way
35:43 “Oh yeah, I’m weaponizing bees.” “…what?”
Mumbo and Etho is the combination I never knew I needed until now. Secrets aside, I think they would be a really great team!
Task idea: The first person that you talk or talks to you in this session, you must only speak to them even while trying to talk to other players
Ooh that's a fun one
@@If-loki-was-a-fox I've Imagined it as having to talk through another player almost but it would probably be a hard task tbh
Probably needs a time limit on it, but good idea overall.
@@jeremyrandolph8337 True, probably like 10 to 20 min would been good enough
Probably a hard task
that slumber party is such unexpected but absolutely hilarious lmao
34:25 "I can't believe how good Joel's build is" Meanwhile Joel: "This is the ugliest thing I've ever built."
I love how Mumbo is so happy to help literally everyone's quests
I would love to see etho and mumbo do more stuff together this is amazing
Honestly, as fun as Grian and Mumbo is, getting to see Mumbo interact a little more with everyone else this series has been really fun
@@jacksongreen4107 yeah i love it, even though mumbo and grian are a great duo i got kinda burned out on always seeing them together like building their bases together in hermitcraft and stuff
Mumbo is a fun dude
Same!
Mumbo x BDubs is a delightful duo I didn't realize I was missing.
Task Suggestion: Pick a random player on the server that your not based with, and butter them up for 5 minutes as if you want something. After 5 min, just run away.
I like mumbo's intense laughter after Scar and Lizzie's conversation Scar: "please keep your hands and arms inside the camel at all times," Lizzie: "inside the camel??"
😂
The party at pearls keeps on reminding me of the dwarfs entering Bilbo’s house in the hobbit
oh my god 😂
TASK SUGGESTION: (Bases Don’t Need Backs) Help Grian build his base for 15 minutes. You can help with every part of it besides back. If you get called out on specifically avoiding the back of the build you fail.
I don't think grians base has a back.
His base is art… literally
It's a funny idea, but since Grian's base is something out of an Escher painting the task is simply: Help Grian build his base for 15 minutes. No fail state.
that's hilarious, I love it xD
The fast text pop “I still fanboy and get nervous”! I love how all the hermits are each others fans! I especially love that Mumbo and Etho are having interactions as it’s super rare!
this series feels like a social experiment that tests the range of weirdness one can tolerate and i love that
>Become best friends with Etho >He immediately sells you into labor for a cow
I swear there are moments in these series where everyone collectively turns their brains off and become one massive hivemind of doing weird stuff and I love every single second of it 😂 the trapdoor bit made me laugh so hard.
Task idea: tell everyone you found an ice biome and lead someone in a full circle around the map and keep telling them “we’re almost there”
I loved how organic the party at Pearl's mound was. Jimmy started it, but Mumbo made it a trend. XD
*Mumbo and Etho crouching in a dirt hole, TNT exploding around them* Mumbo: they have us surrounded! These may be our last moments, comrade... Etho: you were a great ally, for this whole series. We stuck together through and through... Mumbo: *uncrouches* well thats my task done, cya! Etho: Mumbo: Etho: i knew there was something up!
Task idea=Watch Grian for 10 minutes and write notes about what he does in that time without him noticing.🤣
That would problably be a extra hard task unless if the time gets reduced
I have learned from watching Zedaph that Grian is probably one of the most difficult hermits to spy on, though 😅
@@LilChuunosukeGrain is chaotic good
Just make it consecutive 10 mins, being spotted adds 2 minutes to the required time. For a hard task, make it +3 minutes and total 15 minutes, and you have to "sell" the signed book to him after the time has been completed. Or as it's commonly called, black mail him with the book to get some resources out of him.
@@Sylfa That would be amazing
I love that Mumbo just yells at grian when something explodes “out of habit”
For those wondering, the flash of white text at 5:06 says “AKA I still fanboy and get nervous”
Task idea: two hermits get the same task as eachother. The task will be they figure out who else has the same task as them. They will have to walk around the server and will not be able to ask what each others task is but will somehow have to find out.
That is killer 😂
That's awesome
Prob the best idea I’ve seen yet
Change it to two lifers, so it’s less misleading.
YES, that could be a hard task maybe?
I just realized, this series is the second coming of hermit challenges
HERMIT CHALLENGES YAY!!!!!!
Initiation!
Etho's title is perfect for this week's episode. "Server full of weirdos" 😂
5:06 "aka i still fanboy and get nervous" IM CRYING 😭😭😭
17:20 to be fair this IS how etho treats all his friends so i think mumbo did a fantastic job
Man that airhorn popping up for a split second had me in stitches!
If you pause at just the right moment around 16:35 - 16:36, you can see Grian's invisibility particles for a split second on the very right hand of the screen.
Loved just catching the two frames of Grian's invisibility particles during the pink door heist.
Task Suggestion: Force another player to get an advancement without them doing anything.
willingly?
The Zedaph task
@@eaglefan2569 true! I forgot he did that
Easy. Just throw at obsidian at someone.
So nice to see bdubs hanging out with all his redstone students in etho mumbo and tango
22:28 I'm trying to figure out whether "Grian!" is accusatory or like a "Grian help!" and both seem plausible given the history XD
Everyone laying under trap doors gives me boatum pole vibes
Fanboying over Etho is understandable no matter how well you know him
Truer words have never been spoken
Your favorite Minecrafter's favorite Minecrafter
Scar saying keep ur hands inside the camel then LD saying “ INSIDE THE CAMEL “ was the most comedic thing ever
this season is so different because instead of everyone doing everything with their alliance now everyone is just running around and interacting with whoever they find
I love that Mumbos idea of being Ethos best friends is just doing everything he says
I love at 5:17 when mumbo is just casually carrying a zombie spawn egg in his hotbar
How did I not notice that! 😅 Red life Mumbo has some options it seems...
It was mentioned that when killing a mob they'd have a small chance of getting the spawn egg so that's probably why
@@SnowRose-wn6gj Yeah, watched Grian's episode after I watched Mumbo's. That's going to be an interesting addition 😁
Mumbos Title : Best Friends! Ethos Title : Server Full of Weirdos
Mumbo saying "I come with no resources and very little talent" should be on a t-shirt
29:05 is like the apartment scene in Men in Black with the roach things or the locker people
challenge: for 15 minutes follow someone and try to get them into as many situations where they could take indirect damage (but not necessarily), without them noticing.
Perhaps for an "extra hard challange"?
That's a red life task if I've ever seen one
@@NaokarmaI feel like its more of a yellow challenge because the damage is indirect
good idea
Isn't this just harder GeminiTay challenge?
Task idea: build an underground path connecting your base to another player's base without them noticing. (Though I worry this task will be too easy for some whose bases are just a few blocks from other players)
Maybe a suggestion to prevent it is to go to a house at least 180 blocks away (ex. Mumbo's house to Joel's house)
Connect your base with the person who’s base is furtherest away from you without anyone noticing
Finally, a task that makes BigB's massive tunnels make sense!
It would be really funny if everybody got the quest to become be best friends with big B for half of an episode and big B's quest was to keep everybody out of his base for 5 minutes.
29:26 Man, I wish I could be in an SMP like that Where everyone’s just having a grand old time Of course, my own generation has lots of social bs going on so there is no way in hell I can accomplish such a thing with others of my own age but But I just love seeing fun little bits like these!
Hard Task Idea - “accidentally” Tell Grian your task, but make it up and once he brings you to the fail button press the success button
That's an easy task in my opinion
Mumbo is really in his element this season.
Wholesome chaos
@@kimberlywright6109 exactly
That trapdoor scene with everyone is probably gonna be the best thing about this whole series, just so happy and wholesome
29:10 Hey its acctually my birtday! I took that personaly
Happy late birthday!
@@cosmicghost763even later happy birthday
Happy even later birthday 🥳
The ever-growing and collective "Eeehhhh!" every time someone walked in was glorious.
I love how Grian’s like “you know we’re going to have to kill each other someday?” and he’s worried about how prepared mumbo is, when Mumbo will probably have the most lethal base within the next 10 episodes. Really the only thing that could actually kill mumbo is mumbo himself, which is I guess one way to nerf him 😂
Mumbo's horn "UM" made me die for a moment. That was so unexpectedly funny! 8:20
That point in the video where the whole server had a party mid-video is the highlight of my week
This is such a cool combo. Mumbo and Etho
Mumbetho? Ethbo?
@@chanelinks7851 As a dedicated Etho viewer, may I suggest .... Your Mumtho
@@ruemistressofyeetscasual conversation between friends: "Who's your favourite Minecrafter?" "It's impossible to choose just one- I do like your Mumtho."
@@ruemistressofyeets yes, you may suggest the perfect name.

You broke the code.
@@nikkibrowning4546Shall we seize them?
27:32 sounds like one of those perpetually descending sound illusions and also a plane landing
35:08 Hermitchallenges flashbacks
Just some proposals for challenges: - Convince a player that you are being hunted/watched by another player and make the player that scared that he/she states to "have seen" things. - Build a house out of flammable material, get a player to argue about its style - and then burn it down in a burst of fury just to see how the player reacts. - Steal one valuable item from at least 3 different players really obviously without being mentioned - and run away without explanation when mentioned by the robbed player. (Each attempt must target a different player.) - Pretend to have a monopoly on sand and sell it for a ridiculously high price to at least 3 different players. - Uglify your skin and be at least in one conversation where nobody mentions your skin problems in the first 5 minutes. (A new conversation only counts if you speak with at least one of the participants for the first time since getting your task.) - Survive at least half the session ONLY on raw chicken. - Difficult: Pretend to have found a glitch in the game where you can "legally gain more hearts if you get hit by a zombie and a player at the same time" and convince a player to let you test it out on him. - Difficult: Try to sell usele.. *uhmmm* useful "mystery" items to other players for diamonds without showing them the item before the trade happens. At least one player must decide to trade for an item TWICE - and must get two unproportionally worthless items in return from you.

Can we appreciate how much effort NathanConnorTV puts in to forcing us to watch endless videos for eternity as we slowly decay......
Watching this episode after Grian's is so funny with the interaction at 16:40
Obrotherhood with Double Life Smajor again.
You can even see his invisibility particles lol
This episode solidified it as the best Life season so far. Way more kind-hearted and absurd. It'll be a slower build up to war and I love every second of these early, green days.
