I'm sure glad, because coming up with ideas for this is really getting difficult.
Sometimes I think making a serious series would be easier.

Maybe you should cut your show down to 2 episodes a month. Don't let this fun thing become a burden.

Agreed. I'd rather watch a funny series rather than a series that updates often. The faster you try to work, the faster you run out of ideas and eventually lose your touch. It happened to all the YouTubers who decided, "Herp derp, I'm going to update every week, no matter what!" (well, it happened to MOST of the YouTubers) So please, don't feel pressured to update when you think you're not ready.

TJAProjects sent us a message thanking us for "bringing humor to the Mythos."
I never really got into their series, so I can't go so far as to say I'm "honored," but I'm certainly flattered. And thankful.

OK if anyone with 1770 subscribers and also in your area of expertise gives you a verbal pat on the back, you should be honored. I am.

We (the cast of MBB) need to have a real discussion about what we want to do, and I like the Bi-monthly idea, that would give us time to come up with better stuff. Thanks for the support, we thought we may lose some followers if we quit with the whole Weekly thing.

I'd just like to clear up with anyone who may be confused that he can be dead and still post because the internet is, in fact, cross dimensional.
EDIT: Oh, hey, new one!
Spoiler:
This TribeTwelve phase is turning out to be genius. I loved the pictures and the boardwalk, it was all hilarious!

I ask you all a crucial question: was three min too long?
I feel like dragging an audience on for that long is counter-productive. Were any of you discouraged to watch all of it because of the length?

I watched an idiot do a twenty minute rant about Strike Freedom and Destiny from Gundam Seed Destiny where he was petty and picked up on the tiniest features in their design like TEARDROP paintings below the eyes.
Just so I could facepalm the whole way through it at how retarded some people on the internet get.
So three minutes of well thought out comedy/build up to comedy is perfectly fine with me.
Also...Power walking Slendy, hell yeah.

Two of the comments don't understand the bit at 1:59 (with the drink machine). I think we need to make more of our fans aware of totheinnertube.

I think a mention of totheinnetrube eg.
"I saw the response from TTIT"
would be helpful to a lot of people.

We should probably do that in the next video.

WOOT! Insider info! And as to your question, I though the length was appropriate. Especially with your referencing TT. Not that his vids are particularly long, but it length fits the style your going for. And as shown by my signature, I was highly amused.

I've been worrying about something a lot lately. I've noticed that our jokes have been wandering toward more specific references, rather than just the goofy original stuff of pre-Submitted Entry #10.
I hate to say it, but it seems this TribeTwelve phase has narrowed our comedic scope a bit. It's not apparent in the videos, but it's worse behind the scenes. All of the ideas we're coming up with now are spoofs of very specific TT events; spoofs that fewer and fewer people would understand. We're straddling the line between (more clever) jokes that only a dedicated, exclusive group of TT fanatics would get and more general (less clever) Slender Man jokes. And frankly, it's getting harder to come up with ideas for these TT entries.
Frankly, I'm starting to wish this phase of MarbleBumbleBee would end soon. That way we could have total freedom for jokes again. While I'm sure a few TT fans got a good kick out of these, I'd prefer we also please the larger audience.
I may be overthinking things, but I think that once the TT jokes taper out, we'll have an easier time.

I think the TT jokes are still accessible to those who aren't familiar with the series. The still shots of him at bat or falling off the swing are funny as is. Slenderman power walking is hilarious. The device and its analysis. The box contents. (which is not exclusive to TT episodes. Many other series have some kind of mystery, something or other, to open and analyze the contents inside.
I could see why you would get concerned about the constant TT jokes, but I would love to see more videos parodying the other popular series. You don't have to do as many in a row, just mix it up a bit.
Also I saw someone commented on your account that having slendy power walk would be a great segue into an EverymanHYBRID parody. I agree.

I did not see that comment. But like I said before, I'm not completely up to speed with EMH. But there is definitely material ripe for parody there. Like the time travel stuff Vivi mentioned, or how they edit their videos. We could put in quirky little glimpses of future entries, which will be hilarious and nonsensical out of context. And when the video we glimpsed is released, it still won't make any sense.

I... I gave it a thumbs down on accident... My finger slipped because I was laughing so hard... I didn't mean to! Quick! Everyone make as many YouTube accounts as you can and thumbs this video up! I'm so ashamed!
But seriously guys, it's kinda hard to pretend I'm asleep when I'm laughing so hard. That whole Old Spice joke was just perfectly done, and there are some great quotes in there:
"Did you find the cameras I put in your bathroom yet?" "Wait, what?" "Just kidding." "Oh."
You guys are just the funniest. I want to make sweet love to each and every video, and I will probably start dedicating a wall to you guys, just fill it with quotes and pics. But I'm not creepy!

what Ladnek said: another amazing entry. Love the "just kidding" about the bathroom, love the old spice parody and definitely love that chucking water over him worked and how casual they all were after it.
So brilliant guys.

Do you guys think the captions are a problem? I added them since the terrible mic made it hard to understand some dialogue, especially the tape. They don't ruin the jokes or anything, do they?
