↓COME FOLLOW ME HERE OR I WILL CRY (HARD)↓

in this video ian and i yell at me

Gus Johnson plays all sorts of characters, from Mitchell Robbins to JK Rowling to some guy in God's Country to Imbiamba Jombes to filming videos with his mom to pillow guy to the my pool guy to small town reviews to how they use shotguns in movies to the tough kid growing up to your friend who has a knife to spotify ad guy to the how they use shotgun to the gus johnson shotgun to if i was frozone... I don't know why I am writing this in third person. I am Gus. I wrote this. My brother is Sven Johnson, that guy's alright. Guys, if you put all this dumb stuff in the description, it helps your videos. isn't that wild?

Thanks for watching and sharing! Don't stab people. I'll see you later.

Didn't realise how much the punchline would trigger the inner-rage childhood me would feel when there would be ONE OUTLINED OBJECT IN THE SCENE WHY. Good vid boys.

[motocrossx]

Man this used to really bother me as a kid. I never knew why the objects that were going to move always looked different than the rest of the background lol. I’m glad I wasn’t alone in this!

[ianmitchell]

I honestly deeply respect animators/artists for making every centimeter that wasn't moving, part of a beautiful painting.

[clairvoyants]

I would literally try to explain this as a kid in school to the other kids and nobody knew what I was talking about, finally vindicated

[SageOfThunder]

Always look for animation cels when pursuing bad guys.

[bclowns]

Would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for those heavily outlined brightly colored doors.

[MIgardener]

That brightly outlined door looked like catdog’s door. Brilliant.

[davehumphries]

it was always made worse with "secret" bookshelf door levers.

Okay, that part of the wall is gonna move, and the floor up ahead is clearly gonna crumble in a few seconds.

[DaneGilly]

Wow i can't believe how realistic people used to look in old cartoons

[doughnutharvest]

Looks like it's time to split up and look for clues!

[ashketchum]

Just remember when approaching the heavily outlined brightly coloured door to greatly exaggerate sneaky step movements to maximise stealth potential.

[alicorngummy]

Kinda like in Spongebob where static things are often painted when something like a door thats about to open stands out and looks flat.

[nomadned]

You forgot the scrolling background of the same tree, bush and house passing by over and over.

[khalilahd.]

Lmfaoo too true! Down to the sound effects 😭😭

[brewtron]

This is a lot like the different colored textured spots on walls in old video games for hidden pathways and such

[OldQueer]

You missed the comically large cravats and scarves to add to the aesthetic.

[PurplePatterson]

Bro, imagine of your job was making 20sec long videos and you could get rich from it. Gus is the man.
(not sarcastic. thats f-ing dope)

[brandonsaulphoto]

I have noticed this all my life in cartoons and really love how this was done haha great vid gus.

[worf]

At first I had no clue then I was like "ohh yes we can all tell which book is about to be taken off the shelf"
