I read today that Hamilton’s “Uh do whatever you want, I’m super dead” line was apparently inspired by Griffin McElroy, and now I can’t…not…know that. It’s like finding a weird, impossibly shaped puzzle piece that allows my mind to connect “I am inimitable, I am an original” to “you wanna fuck an onion” with frightening ease. It has possibly changed my perspective on Hamilton more than any other reference in the show???
Stage 1: Finding a McElroy product you find funny. Watching that particular product
Stage 2: Finding out there’s multiple McElroy products and many more McElroys than you first thought
Stage 3: Watching upwards of 3 McElroy products
Stage 4: Listening to MBMBAM weekly
Stage 5: Working through MBMBAM’s backlog
Stage 6: Can finally differentiate between Travis and Justin’s voices
Stage 7: Adopting their syntax
Stage 8: IDK I think at this point you become an amiibo vorer
what continuously amazes me about the mcelroys is that justin looks like a gay elf, and travis looks like a portland barista who takes regular business trips to narnia. they both look like weird, cool, funny guys. but then griffin looks like if you hit ‘random’ on a character generator for a game exclusively about tax accountants. he looks like he was born with a polo shirt on. he looks like both his first and last names are jeff. he looks like he organizes socks for fun, and then he opens his mouth and says something funny enough that you rupture all your internal organs laughing about it. it’s incredible.
I was google image searching Clint McElroy cause I’ve only heard his voice on TAZ. and this was one of the very first pictures:
and when I clicked on it the little picture the description was this:
and I’m pretty sure this is all I need to know about Clint McElroy. In fact I’d rather not know any more, My mental image of this man at this point cannot be improved
