I have so much love for Merobiba and the fact that the most creative of the community said, "yes this is perfect, maybe the best drawfee episode ever even"
Fan fact that you should notice FNO: Nathan was annoyed by Julia's bit at first, but is now quoting and impressioning and meming Merobiba Every god damn live and is absolutely on with the joke, and generally just dieing of laughter everytime someone says "I'm Merobiba". The man learned to appreciate this stupidly hilarious bit and it's the best arc ever.
it really feels like he was the disoriented John Travolta, just kind of like ..."this is what we're doing? I mean, okay... but we really didn't have anything better?"
Don't be ashamed to come here at this golden time... when you are walking the highlands of Scotland It doesn't matter how long it took you to get there
Same here… thanks to Nathan’s Big Boss Man épisode. I was so impressed (and terrified!) that I subscribed right away. Now I’m binging on more animations. Loving it!
Not only the animation and the style are AMAZING as usual. BUT THE CONCEPTS! God, you killed it, Nathan as the host, the program, and him calling on the phone booth looking like an angry NY psychoanalyst are so creative, I live.
Nathan going into the phone booth to talk with Julia is such a good interpretation. Like, I'm pretty sure there's not a single phone booth left in my city, but the shot of him opening the door with the snow swirling around him is such good storytelling. I know everything I need to know about this version of Nathan
The lipsyncs at 0:49 and 1:07 are so satisfying to me. Don't get me wrong, the entire animation was awesome with many silky smooth moments, but I just wanted to point to these two bits and say: "I like this :)"
*Julia Drawfee:* "Plz show your support, I need validation for my jokes" *Drawfee Audience:* (gloms onto Merobiba so hard that the term "Merobiba" is BLOCKED IN DRAWFEE'S TWITCH CHAT TO THIS DAY) *Merobiba:* I'm Mewobiba!
This was so fun to watch, you really captured Nathan's exhaustion with the whole bit lmao also, the decision to make part of it a late night interview and thus put all the drawfee hosts in suits was inspired
The expressive/aggressive way you animate, it's always funny, always entertaining. Love the Drawfee crew in suits for some reason. Is Nathan fully cognizant of just how much Merobiba has "taken off" at this point?
Oh they know. They know that Merobiba, like an eternal eldritch abomination, had consumed all. They can try to keep it down, but it is inevitable. We are all Merobiba.
They had to ban ALL versions of the word to make sure chat would let it go, you can tell how much they got tired of the bit after watching the hunger games stream lol
@@busesimsek2105 Oh yeah I was there. I remember everyone figuring out fun ways to get around the censor so that we could just talk about the competitor. Didn't even think about the consequence being more variations, but I could definitely hear the strain in their voices lol
Imagine you had the budget for a whole cartoon show in this style, I would absolutely pay to see that. I can tell you put so much work and passion into creating this by going above and beyond with its visuals. Keep it up dude this is so epic!
The full-body expressions get me every time. This was incredible! And the backgrounds were above and beyond, like you did not have to go this HARD with the snowy phone booth, the talkshow set, the whole end image?? the result was absolutely perfect, 11 out of 10, am about to replay
Tiny detail but the way the hair moves around 0:30 is really nice to look at Even when the character has stopped or is moving on less frames the hair just exudes so much energy
One more reason why Drawfee is great: LOOK AT THIS FKN BONKERS DELIGHTFUL ANIMATION Y’ALL, we wouldn’t have anything to do with all those unique and talented but not very uniform or mainstream animators, bless the Drawfee crew for providing top tier high quality nonsense for animators who want to explore their creativity and test the limits of this medium
I absolutely love this animation! I love how dynamic it is. Merobiba was my first Drawfee episode and I have been a die hard fan since. I swear it never gets old, definitely a real banger episode indeed.
My face hurts so bad from laughing. This was the longest three minutes and twenty four seconds of my entire life! It just kept going. I love Nathan's mustache and how it's a part of his expressions.
The melting Merobiba eyes, the DIMENSION in Nathan's close-up mustache, THE FLUIDITY ON THE ANIMATION WHEN MEROBIBA SAYS "IM MEWOBIBA" (after the heart-wrenching speech) - I watched that part like five times. Its all so beautiful. And the internal lore of this animation that they're big wig execs???? Chef's kiss MWUAH
Holy shit, you just keep pushing on - this one felt like it was on a new level, which is saying something since the summoning of Primordial Goof was so goshdarn cinematic, but the amount of places you managed to take this one, while still fitting in gorgeous character animation, *chefs kiss*
the concept of nathan baring through the snow to get to a payphone to call julia just to tell her he wants a banger episode in the next record in 2023 is endlessly amusing to me
Half the fun of Merobiba animations is what bits get latched onto and from the bear audience to how on the nose the bear witch is, there are some greats ones I haven't seen much of before.
This animation is just phenomenal, you went ALL OUT. I love it so much. It captures the whack crazy drug trip that episode was and how not on board Nathan was about it. I love it. Bravo!
I just wanted to let you know that this is not just my favourite out of all Merobiba Animations, but this has also become one of my favourite Videos of 2023 in general. The completely unhinged expressions you drew throughout this animation: Julia's and Jacob's enthusiasm, Merobiba as this weird little gremlin, all the bears and Nathan trying to cope with the situation at hand before breaking down after Julia mentions their talk before the episode - almost every single frame of this animation brings me happiness and laughter. So thanks for putting in the work and animating Merobiba in all her glory, I just can't help but rewatching this every couple of weeks. :)
2:52 - I love this little bit!! There's so many distinct versions of Nathan in this SHORT little space of time! Tiny Head, jagged moustache, just x-eyed ded! Absolutely stoked that you'll be starting a Patreon and I'll be very stoked to join it when it opens!!
Probably my favourite thing about this whole bit is the switcheroo of the usual dynamic. Most times with Julia’s bits Jacob gets so immediately mad and tries to shut her down and Nathan has to be the supporter/yes man/“let her cook”. My second favourite thing about this is whole bit is this gorgeous animation, I’m obsessed with the movement and facial expression you capture! As someone with EXTREMELY limited animation experience, you are truly an inspiration for me to continue making progress.
With all the fire I'm now imagining a picture of Merobiba in the pose of the "smiling girl in front of burning building" meme. The image of 1:05 gets kind of close but you don't get the sense that Merobiba has come to love the flames until farther in the video.
I like the visual gag of someone sitting or standing, then when they start to laugh they turn into a lil guy floating in the air-- often rotating as if propelled in-place by their own laughter. It's as if laughing enough causes you to shrink in size and also become unaffected by gravity.
Merobiba's chat show faces were soooooooo goooooooood ARLOOOOOOOOOOOO ❤❤❤
DeepBlueInk, commenting on a Drawfee Merobiba Animation, over a year ago, with only 90 likes
how even
My favorite part of this whole bit is that Nathan thought it sucked but the audience ate it up and continues it on.
The fire at the end represence our support
He wanted a banger, here we go
I have to agree with Nathan
@@diabelskiananas8679 noooo
Merobiba was my introduction to Drawfee, and now I’m a huge fan. This truly was the banger episode they needed!
the talk show format is perfect because the laugh track + nathan’s absolute lack of amusement + all the drawfs in suits is just so great
Those outfits really *suit* them, don't they? I'm Merobiba!
Nathan was trying... SO hard to come up with his own idea, and Julia was SO unrelenting with the Merida jokes :')
I have so much love for Merobiba and the fact that the most creative of the community said, "yes this is perfect, maybe the best drawfee episode ever even"
"I'm Merobiba!"
Nathan's Banger came true
0:47 "Everytime she says 'I'm Mewobiba!' the audience roars with laughter" and everytime we kiss I swear I could fly
Fan fact that you should notice FNO: Nathan was annoyed by Julia's bit at first, but is now quoting and impressioning and meming Merobiba Every god damn live and is absolutely on with the joke, and generally just dieing of laughter everytime someone says "I'm Merobiba". The man learned to appreciate this stupidly hilarious bit and it's the best arc ever.
It's his revenge at her for the potty gnome pics.
it really feels like he was the disoriented John Travolta, just kind of like
..."this is what we're doing? I mean, okay... but we really didn't have anything better?"
merobiba- aka julia and nathan losing their minds aaka just a typical drawfee episode
and Jacob
Ok, the way you designed Nathan's beard is god tier and I'm ashamed that I'm only just now discovering your channel.
Don't be ashamed to come here at this golden time... when you are walking the highlands of Scotland It doesn't matter how long it took you to get there
Same here… thanks to Nathan’s Big Boss Man épisode.
I was so impressed (and terrified!) that I subscribed right away. Now I’m binging on more animations. Loving it!
The bear audience was INCREDIBLE
Not only the animation and the style are AMAZING as usual. BUT THE CONCEPTS! God, you killed it, Nathan as the host, the program, and him calling on the phone booth looking like an angry NY psychoanalyst are so creative, I live.
Merobiba cracking jokes while she's drawn and quartered by her bear family! This is so weird and I loves it!
1:14 The eyes sliding off Merobiba's face got me.
Me when alergie hit
The funniest part is how Merobiba genuinely became the banger episode. Everybody fucking loves Merobiba
except when she won hunger games
Nathan going into the phone booth to talk with Julia is such a good interpretation. Like, I'm pretty sure there's not a single phone booth left in my city, but the shot of him opening the door with the snow swirling around him is such good storytelling. I know everything I need to know about this version of Nathan

It’s a little more exaggerated but I’m also a big fan of 2:32, love the way her head moves when she says it
and the way Jacob merobiba's eyes entirely drip off at 1:16 is also really good :)
You managed to create "most played" bumps in the play-bar, just thought you might want to know
@@Refog1 Haha true, I feel powerful!
Nathan giving Julia the side eye, while being "glad this makes YOU so happy, Julia.". 😘👌 Chef kiss!
I love how Julia managed to conjure a bit with the same spiritual energy as the gnome picture.
just keep doing it until it gets funnier
*Julia Drawfee:* "Plz show your support, I need validation for my jokes"
*Drawfee Audience:* (gloms onto Merobiba so hard that the term "Merobiba" is BLOCKED IN DRAWFEE'S TWITCH CHAT TO THIS DAY)
*Merobiba:* I'm Mewobiba!
I love how much your Merobiba constantly goes from being derpy to lapsing back into existential horror at what shes done its great.
Oh Merobiba you done it again
If only merobiba could watch this 😔. she’d say “I’m merobiba” or something like that. frfr.
Jacob hiding in the wool of a sheep was not something I knew I needed, but I’m glad I’ve seen it
The way you lit some of the scenes is so stunningly atmospheric - you knocked this out of the park.
This was so fun to watch, you really captured Nathan's exhaustion with the whole bit lmao
also, the decision to make part of it a late night interview and thus put all the drawfee hosts in suits was inspired
The shading, Julia’s spiral to Merobiba, the TALK show, Nathan’s mustache’s shenanigans, so beautifully done! 😮
The expressive/aggressive way you animate, it's always funny, always entertaining.
Love the Drawfee crew in suits for some reason.
Is Nathan fully cognizant of just how much Merobiba has "taken off" at this point?
Oh they know. They know that Merobiba, like an eternal eldritch abomination, had consumed all. They can try to keep it down, but it is inevitable.
We are all Merobiba.
@@awittypseudonym2520 She is inevita-
uh, I mean...
She's Mewobiba!
I think at this point the word is actually still banned from their Twitch Chat since it kept getting spammed, so I'd say that's a solid "yeah" LOL
They had to ban ALL versions of the word to make sure chat would let it go, you can tell how much they got tired of the bit after watching the hunger games stream lol
@@busesimsek2105 Oh yeah I was there. I remember everyone figuring out fun ways to get around the censor so that we could just talk about the competitor. Didn't even think about the consequence being more variations, but I could definitely hear the strain in their voices lol
The bear audiences and the end drawing look so nice.
You've really outdone yourself!!! my fav is the bear audience it's so good!!!!!
This is the cutest Merobiba I´ve seen so far :D love how bouncy her hair is (and her arson lol)
The animation for nathan walking to the telephone box was gooooddd!!
Usually I feel sorry for Jacob but today Nathan has all my sympathies....I'm MEROBIBA
for some reason I absolutely lost it at the visual of Nathan having to step out into a phonebooth to make his call to Julia
the turn-around at 1:42 is incredible
Imagine you had the budget for a whole cartoon show in this style, I would absolutely pay to see that. I can tell you put so much work and passion into creating this by going above and beyond with its visuals.
Keep it up dude this is so epic!
i am obsessed with how julia floats around in the background zero gravity at the beginning
There has never been a more expressive character than Merobiba
Nathan: I want a banger episode.
Julia: Mewobiba, take it or leave it.
I love the part both in this and on drawfee where Nathan is like 'is anyone still watching?' LIKE NOT ONLY AM I WATCHING I AM RIVETED!
Merobiba is truly the gift that keeps on giving
Why you so good? i also love the way the animation goes from almost still to fluid again at 2:23
ME TOO!!! Both the juxtaposition and just the lovingly crafted fluidity there was incredible
The full-body expressions get me every time. This was incredible! And the backgrounds were above and beyond, like you did not have to go this HARD with the snowy phone booth, the talkshow set, the whole end image?? the result was absolutely perfect, 11 out of 10, am about to replay
Tiny detail but the way the hair moves around 0:30 is really nice to look at
Even when the character has stopped or is moving on less frames the hair just exudes so much energy
So expressive, so explosive 🧨 "I'M MEROBIBA!"
Honestly I love that you add the laugh track it finally came to life. Ty
One more reason why Drawfee is great: LOOK AT THIS FKN BONKERS DELIGHTFUL ANIMATION Y’ALL, we wouldn’t have anything to do with all those unique and talented but not very uniform or mainstream animators, bless the Drawfee crew for providing top tier high quality nonsense for animators who want to explore their creativity and test the limits of this medium
I absolutely love this animation! I love how dynamic it is. Merobiba was my first Drawfee episode and I have been a die hard fan since. I swear it never gets old, definitely a real banger episode indeed.
You didn’t have to include such a dynamic scene and background at 2:45 but you did. Congrats on your wonderful 90+ hours of work!!! That’s so cool!!!!
Dang that big snow flake flowing so smoothly Ewen at a half slowed down
*[standing ovation and cheers from live studio audience]*
Nathan just, like, not being on board with the bit but being too nice to put a hard stop to it really elevated the whole thing
god it's just so good, it has no right to be this gooood like your BRAAAAAAIN
I LOVE Every Single Frame of this but the one where merobiba slowly turns is truly Cinematic to me
The moments where Julia just shrinks and floats in the air when she laughs gets me
I just want to watch nothing but Arlo Sterling animated Nathan laughter for the rest of the day.
1:14 Beautiful detail on back merobiba ugh this is the finest of awt I can not beWEEEVE it's fwee
The laugh track in this is SO unsettling I love it
This is my all-time favorite bit, and what you've done with it is a piece of art.
I love julias absolute violations against gravity throughout the whole video
I will support any and all Merobiba based content
Arlo Sterling, you've done it again!
You are Merobiba!
Your laughing animations always give me life.
OH MY ME, the laugh tracks are sending me. I'M MEROBIBA!
As if this WASN'T a banger episode!
My face hurts so bad from laughing. This was the longest three minutes and twenty four seconds of my entire life! It just kept going. I love Nathan's mustache and how it's a part of his expressions.
This drawfee bit is one of my absolute favorites and I'm so happy seeing the animations
0:33 Jacob's hiccup laugh. I need more!
2:43 Oh my gosh Cold Nathan just makes my tiny heart go 🥺
I didn't really register how much Julia cackled during this bit until seeing her flop around in your animation.
i absolutely love the frantic poses
The melting Merobiba eyes, the DIMENSION in Nathan's close-up mustache, THE FLUIDITY ON THE ANIMATION WHEN MEROBIBA SAYS "IM MEWOBIBA" (after the heart-wrenching speech) - I watched that part like five times. Its all so beautiful. And the internal lore of this animation that they're big wig execs???? Chef's kiss MWUAH
Her face at 1:26 is everything.
Oh mom you're so unbearable
Holy shit, you just keep pushing on - this one felt like it was on a new level, which is saying something since the summoning of Primordial Goof was so goshdarn cinematic, but the amount of places you managed to take this one, while still fitting in gorgeous character animation, *chefs kiss*
the concept of nathan baring through the snow to get to a payphone to call julia just to tell her he wants a banger episode in the next record in 2023 is endlessly amusing to me
The anime level variation in detail for emphasis is so good
M-arlo-biba, you've done it again! That's the M-arlo-biba waay~
the julia expressions.... incredible
0:24 big business Julia is amazzzzinngggg 😂😂😂😂❤
I love her ring
I love that you added the laugh track! I've been looking for an animation of this that did it.
If Merobiba doesn't put them in the map, nothing will at this point. But for real, tho. Great work, Arlo.
Half the fun of Merobiba animations is what bits get latched onto and from the bear audience to how on the nose the bear witch is, there are some greats ones I haven't seen much of before.
This animation is just phenomenal, you went ALL OUT. I love it so much. It captures the whack crazy drug trip that episode was and how not on board Nathan was about it. I love it. Bravo!

This is amazing. HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU COLOR THE WHOLE THING THIS BEAUTIFULLY??? Also, I'll never get tired of how you draw. It's so expressive.
2:52 - I love this little bit!! There's so many distinct versions of Nathan in this SHORT little space of time! Tiny Head, jagged moustache, just x-eyed ded! Absolutely stoked that you'll be starting a Patreon and I'll be very stoked to join it when it opens!!
It kills me every time he goes 😵
This animation style is wild and in some parts it gets so satisfying to suddenly see smooth movement. It's trippy, I like it.
low key obsessed with Semi Casual Businessman Nathan
Probably my favourite thing about this whole bit is the switcheroo of the usual dynamic. Most times with Julia’s bits Jacob gets so immediately mad and tries to shut her down and Nathan has to be the supporter/yes man/“let her cook”.
My second favourite thing about this is whole bit is this gorgeous animation, I’m obsessed with the movement and facial expression you capture! As someone with EXTREMELY limited animation experience, you are truly an inspiration for me to continue making progress.
I like Julia vertically rotating while laughing
The gift that keeps on giving
the sheer ammount of effort in this oh god i love this
I’m pretty sure Julia was in fact floating in the air Mary Poppins “I love to Laugh” style when this bit happened
The absolute joy this bit brought everyone is something that should be commended.
The way you animate laughter is truly so funny. It gets me every time. It’s so expressive
I love your Nathan design! The mustache expressions are amazing!
I love how Merobiba behaves on the talk show. She's perfect.
With all the fire I'm now imagining a picture of Merobiba in the pose of the "smiling girl in front of burning building" meme. The image of 1:05 gets kind of close but you don't get the sense that Merobiba has come to love the flames until farther in the video.
Oh boy
This was glorious, the bear audience was hilarious. I'm so glad Merobiba's has extended so far
0:17 Julia just floating, lol
And the fact that it just ends with both Merobiba and Nathan having an existential crisis, lol
Dude, this is the best version of this bit I've seen yet! Fantastic work as always.
!!!!!!! aaaa the setpieces! the color! the narrative! I love it all, I can tell you worked so hard on this one!!
Appreciation comment for Julia just full on rotating at the mere idea of merobiba
this was so worth the wait and i'm so glad everyone loves merobiba as much as me i'm merobiba
I like the visual gag of someone sitting or standing, then when they start to laugh they turn into a lil guy floating in the air-- often rotating as if propelled in-place by their own laughter. It's as if laughing enough causes you to shrink in size and also become unaffected by gravity.
I dont have much to say other than I absolutely loved this and wanted to show my support via a comment, so here ya go! thanks for the animation!!!!!!!
