Trollstopia Blindblogging: episode 5b - The Snug-a-lug Situation
Ensemble cast of background character you wouldn’t expect to see interact doing a lot of that? Val Thundershock and Lownote Jones? A really fun Branch episode that doesn’t make fun of him? An actually really good bop of a song? Funny? This is a great freaking episode. Require watching. 5/5 absolutly loved it
oooOOOOooo finally an episode who’s genre focus isn’t spoiled by the title card. I wonder if it’s and Ensemble episode?
pffffft omg is Lownote Jone’s life one big Morgan Freeman parody?
Also LOWNOTE JOOOOOOONES
groovatational pull
I’m Mcfuckin Loosing it here
Side note though not sure how into the idea that Funk Trolls are space worthy I am? pretty not very actually? Might be discarded in the headcannon cherry picking. Maaaaaaaaybe upper atmosphere at best.....
“You can never ever under any circumstance... give it a hug.” Ok I’m calling bullshit the show’s got me I legit gasped with them.
Is this a gremlins parody? I’ll never know cause I never watched Gremlins
That little affectionate look Lownote gives the snugalug omg
Branch do not do this you actually like hugs and can be open about it now head needs to come out of butt right now
Lets see... we have social inexperience, check. Too cool for hugs, check. Logic brigade, check. To much self control for hugs, check. Probably low key autism touch avoidance on some scale in all of them.... check
OK! love the volunteering, not a fan of the attitudes.” ok I give Poppy a lot of shit but it’s affectionate shit. She herself is kind of a bitch in a really endearing way.
Branch giving Val and Lagoona little fist bumps is great. I like the idea that he’s made nice with a Troll willing to call Poppy out and “the only sane Techno Troll” in the background. Same with Val and Gust. We saw them arm wrestling in just the last episode
Jesus Christ Poppy loosing her shit over the snugalug was a bit scary and very funny. Lownote went bipedal to escape from that real quick
So it’s either Gremlins or Tribbles
so if Trolls have a compulsion to hug after hugging once, are these snugalugs Troll based lifecycle parasites?
“Well not running, but I will certainly come sauntering very, very quickly” Lownote says, wearing a monocle... GOD I love him
Holy shit Right Trolls for the Job is a fucking BOP. First purely not Pop song and the first one yet that is genuinely, really, actually very good. Not just competent but GOOOOD. I was surprised it didn’t jump genres a bit when the other’s jumped in but that just proves they were all grooving hard on the same wavelength.
Oh my god it is a parasite isn’t it?
I really love the saying “combing more hair than we can style here” Actually, I really love a lot of the altered turns of phrases the Trolls have been using. You get your glitter and hair puns without it being overdone and obnoxious
Two minutes later: Cue the horror movie vibe
For real I don’t know who’s doing this but this propensity to take perfectly normal situations and give it a horror movie tone is actually really fun and I hope it keeps happening
Also these guys seem actually really distressed that’s some really good boarding and delivery there
Did they hug it secretly? Or did Lownote loose track of it and it’s come back to harass them?
Val: hisses
Branch refusing to ask for help from the obvious expert on this situation is very on point for him. He’s used to being the crisis guy and not asking for help
they can hug each other?
This episode is rated M for snugalug sex
tribbles it is!
Ok the entire animation sequence of Branch closing a bunker door, as well as all that fluidness to Cooper coming in looks suspiciously high budget
Holiday in Harmony suggests that Branch kept up on whatever was happening between him and Prince D in “Just sing” and now he, D, and Cooper are their own little friend group, and we’ve been sorely missing the Cooper and Branch interactions to look at that even if D won’t be in series, so I really appreciate Cooper just busting in all comfortable like into the bunker out of the blue
Wipes a tear oh my god Branch and Gust and Lagoona holding hands waiting for the end together bitches just pulled a Toy Story 3 and it worked
Finally! I think we are getting into the part of the series where some of the production cast were far more aware of the end product the Movie became because we get a pretty stunning approximation of the Bubble based gravity beam we saw in the movie as apposed to straight up ufo scifi rays we’ve gotten from Funk ships so far
GROUP HUG
fucking Cooper man
Ok but the delivery of that “No harm done baby” really gets me and now I know why. Looked him up and the VA has some real Broadway training. Don’t know how they snagged him but I could listen for hours.
Take note will anything come of this or is the Snugalug forgotten forever?
