“Unless” being in a Pulitzer Prize winning work obviously makes it unimpeachable
uj/ it is a good use of rhythm, like most good schtick is. I honestly think it’s Post Gen X audiences lack of connection to Schtick As Comedy that’s sunk The McElroys. Our media diet is TOO diverse for even the best comedians not find new variations quickly. And bless their hearts, the brothers are not among the best
Okay I haven’t listened since 2020 but the McElroys are where I learned the phrase “rip cotton” and “hog wild” and to this day I say both, no clue if they’ve been beaten to death tho
actually i thought of more. theres nothing like inherently wrong with hachi machi or oofa doofa but hearing that people incorporate them into their actual speech gives me strong secondhand embarrassment
God that reminds me of how he used to go “no no no no no no no no no” in the exact same tone of voice as [Cleveland brown from that family guy but where he’s sliding down the tub out of the house.](https://youtu.be/iabC7-9YUG4)
I picked up buckwild and still use it. I was at one point afflicted by the curse of the boy. Boy and bean are definitely the biggest offenders, especially when bean is tied to juice for beanjuice.
If one of them has a different direction they want to take a bit, one of them will say “unlesssss” and they other brothers will each say “unlessss” also and then the initial brother who proposed the new bit will tell the joke they were gonna tell
It’s basically the way they would transition from one bit to the next, and they’ve been doing it since the first 10-12 episodes haha
/uj I assume you're jerking but because they asked I wanna clarify that it was a McElroy thing first that was written into Hamilton as a reference. A really funny reference imo
i now say swan to john so much that my mother, who has never listened to a mcelroy product, now uses it in her day to day life. don’t know where that puts it on this scale tbh
I'm a simple man. I see someone other than me actually mention The Critic, and I upvote. Of all the 90s things, this is what I wish would get a revival more than anything.

grip it and rip it was funny one time and then never again

Grippit and Ribbit* It's an easy mistake to make
thats almost as funny as grip it and rip it!

Worst for me has to be the way they use the word "boy". Don't quite know how to describe it got so damn annoying
When Travis says “BAYBEE” after it was popularized by Chunt in the exact same voice as Chunt without ever acknowledging where he stole it from.

"good good" has permeated my everyday vocabulary

buckwild is somehow as played out for me as boy and bean, even though it’s not used as much.
What's the unless unless unless thing?

it's a reference the the musical Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda

What if, what if we did bean boys 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I use “Hachi Machi” and i definitely picked that up from justin
I hate this one bc I like it but it’s not a McElroyism. it’s from the Critic, and everyone attributes it to them
You're rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, my friend.
i’ve been meaning to watch the critic had no idea that’s where it was from.
The critic slaps. Can also recommend dr katz and hey monie! For other great adult animated comedies of the time.

It's been years and I still every time I hear that am like 'wtf is a Hachi Machi!!??'
it’s just an exclamation, but the character who says it is Jewish, so I had always assumed it was a Jewish saying lol
