Every TAZ Fan Ever...

The title says it all. If you're a TAZ fan, these happen to you at least once a day. Here we can all relate to the meaning of true fandom dedication.

YA’LL THE TRAILER FOR THE ADVENTURE ZONE SEASON THREE JUST AIRED AND I AM LIVING MY BEST LIFE!

[everytazfanever]

Being in the MBMBAM fandom means remaining in constant agony because you can’t decide which McElroy brother is your favorite. Or which podcast you should listen to today.

[everytazfanever]

How you know when your a TAZ fan through and through:

-you’re in COSTCO and you spend the entire time humming the tune for FANTASY COSTCO to the point where people start looking at you weirdly

-someone says Bob and your mind goes to the actual B.O.B.

-your soul mission in life is to change the word from “taco” in the dictionary to its correct spelling“taako”

There are three kinds of people in this world...

The ones who believe dogs should vote

The ones who say that there are no dogs on the moon

And the ones who don’t know what they’re doing with their lives

McElroys + Disney Movies = Pure Chaos

Could you imagine what it would be like if the McElroy brothers were released into the Disney cinematic universe? 

Like you’re just sitting there watching Finding Nemo and when Jacques (the cleaning shrimp) appears, Justin peers into the fish tank and passionately chants “Shrimp. Heaven. Now.”

Imagine doing the dishes with Ratatouille playing in the background for your kids and you hear Travis suggest to Remy that the dish could use some “Worcestershire.”

Or you’re chilling with your friends while WALL-E is on and as WALL-E and EVE romantically dance across the space landscape, Griffin’s voice bellows across the cosmos demanding “No dogs on the moon!”

The possibilities are truly endless…

[everytazfanever]

That moment when you realize the McElroys have altered your mind so much that you can’t even glance at a shrimp without giggling like a maniac and collapsing onto the floor.

I love how a reference to a podcast that’s so loved was slipped into Hamilton. Nine out of ten people listening to that musical simply have no idea what they’re missing and think its just part of the song...and then there’s the one out of ten die hard fans of MBMBAM who start freaking out whenever that part come on. 

[everytazfanever]

My favorite thing about the MBMBAM Live shows is that people submit questions to those lovely bois knowing full well that they will get roasted beyond comprehension in front a large amount of people in public. And they love it. 

[everytazfanever]

I still cannot believe that the Griffin who created the Clown Box in MBMBAM and the Griffin who crafts fully-fleshed out fantasy worlds with a D&D game is the SAME GUY. How does a man like that actually exist?!

[everytazfanever]

Happy New Year TAZ fans!

In 2019 I hope you get to:

 -rush into exciting adventures like Magnus

 -sizzle and spice up your daily routines like Taako

 -cast your goals from a Zone of Truth into reality like Merle

 -and most importantly listen to lots and lots of TAZ!

I love how Lup just fits into the story seamlessly. She’s not even formally introduced. Just thrown in like she’s been there forever. Which is pure genius on Griffin’s part. When you think about it, she’s been there from very early on and we never even knew it. 

[everytazfanever]

When a TAZ fan first learns about Lup’s character:

It’ll be fine...you’re not gonna fall in love with another character...you’ve got way to many to keep track of as it is...

One episode later:

OH MY GOD HOW CAN SOMEONE LOVE HER MORE THAN ME. SHE IS THE MOST PERFECT FICTIONAL CHARACTERI HAVE EVER KNOW AND  SHE IS MY BEST FRIEND. 

[everytazfanever]

The worst mistake a TAZ fan can make is listening to the finale on your way to work.

Because then you have to suffer through your entire eight hour shift rerunning the same heart-breaking scenes over in your mind and reliving the agony of not knowing WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!?

The 6 Different Types of Fans When the TAZ Theme Song Plays in Public...

1.The Dedicated

Stops immediately, drops whatever they’re doing, and sprints towards the holy music with a fiery passion. Because they know the amazing DM Griffin’s glorious tale is about to commence, and they CANNOT MISS A SINGLE WORD OF IT.

2.The Newbie

Continues whatever they were doing and stops periodically to deeply think whether they know what that familiar song is. When realization hits, they glance around the room frantically searching to make eye contact with a single person who recognizes it too. They’ve listened to the show a few times and still aren't sure if they know what they’re listening to or if they're just going crazy.

3.The Super Fan

Screams a long stream of curse words and punches the air to express their excitement. Then, shakes the person nearest to them (regardless if they know them or not) and starts shouting their favorite phrases (regardless if they are appropriate to say in a public place with children around). They do not care how people view them because they love those SWEET MCELROY BOYS SO SO MUCH. 

4.The Reserved

Surrounded by people they are close to or simply know, they CANNOT risk their reputation being tainted by their favorite podcast being about the dreaded D&D. They immediately become embarrassed and try to pretend like they’re utterly confused as everyone else by what’s going on, while secretly humming along to the song in their head. Their secret’s safe...for now.

5. The Senior

Becomes overwhelmed with emotion because they’ve A) finished the show and can’t help but weep tears of pure emotion for a podcast so pure and beautiful or B) are terrified that someone’s playing an episode they haven’t listened to yet and the threat of spoilers is a fate worse than death. 

6. The Partier

Starts dancing uncontrollably. This song is their jam and no one can tell them otherwise. They view Griffin as the best DJ ever known to mankind and has no intent on every stopping their endless impromptu dance party. Who knows? Maybe it’ll start a flash mob.

[everytazfanever]

When you ask your best friend to explain to you what they know about TAZ from incoherent streams of texts at 3am they get from you and the two episodes they listened to because you made them try it against their own free will...

Friend:So there’s a guy named tako right? And he and two other companions go exploring. Well, they have a lot of road blocks and eventually blow up a town cause one of their cousins is stupid. THEN THEY GO TO THE FRICKEN’ MOON

[everytazfanever]

When Griffin uploads an episode with a killer soundtrack...

Me: Now let’s see how many times I can pick apart and analyze this song while still bawling my eyes out due to its pure amazingness

[everytazfanever]

Dad: Hey, don’t you lie to me young man. Or I’ll...

Son: Or you’ll do what?

Dad: I’ll cast ZONE OF TRUTH!!!

Son: Dad. No matter how many times you try that, it’s not gonna work.

Dad: YOU MUST TELL ME YOUR DARKEST DEEPEST SECRETS.
