Mixed Bag of Holding: Picnic in PacLand (80's Pacman Cartoon)

Hearing Murph show off his Pac Man knowledge in City Council of Darkness was weirdly cathartic.

Man this is the secret sauce to all the aside comments and jokes that I’ve been missing!

The bit about the new husband and the dead ex returning being the plot of eternity

The prediction that this would run away with March sadness coming true…

It’s time for March Sadness! Since you all probably don’t have the bandwidth to rewatch all the Mixed Bag and 8BBC stuff, you should just post a bracket with YouTube links to the videos and let us decide.

I would love a march sadness!

Unrelated, got my spotify wrapped today and I'm in the top .5% of Emily listeners and she was my top artist of the year lol love yall so much!

30:40 This is why Dingo bit him in the goosebumps episode/real life

Hello book buds (and Jake)! I was so inspired by the idea of March Sadness that I revisited all the old episodes and tried to come up with a mathematically accurate bracket (link here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17T1tRje5tP1_D_son3S0z8Gq3USVjzsLtr88INsL-sY/edit?usp=sharing). Shows/movies are seeded based on their A to J rating + general response, and I made both an elite 8 and sweet 16 version. Hope this helps make March Sadness a reality!

March Sadness!!!

The schtick of Jake being so nervous and thrown off when Murph makes him do the outro gets me every time without fail

looking at the writing credits, it looks like this show walked so Muppet Babies could run 4 years later so at least there's that

I recently went down an old tv rabbit hole with aesop & son (a 4-6 minute skit show that's part of Rocky and Bullwinkle.) It's terrible in a fascinating way. So terrible. So fascinating. One example of an episode: a tom cat falls in love with a chicken and she wants to be with him too but she's allergic to cats so they can't be together. they each, unbeknownst to the other, get a potion from a wise owl they're told to drink at midnight. The cat turns into a rooster and the hen turns into a cat. the cat (now rooster) is thrilled that they can be together but the chicken (now cat) says "why would i want to date a chicken?" and we learn that the hen just disdained chickens and wanted to be above them while the cat was just attracted to chickens, so they're both happier now. the newly minted rooster gets to live with a bunch of chickens he finds hot. other insane episodes include: the rooster and five hens, son of the masked clock, the fox and the winking horse.

I put on the Thanksgiving episode today and wow, it’s as bad as I feared it would be

Murph also having pac man 2 and loving it like me due to a sort of desert island/ only game on earth situation was the birthday gift I needed.

March Sadness is SUCH a great idea

I’m here for March sadness

I will not listen to this pacdog slander! It is up to Mr and Mrs pacman to train their dog

I disavow Jake’s comments

The lack of a Nose is what makes Sourpuss upsetting to look at i think. Pac Junior's voice sounded like Freddy from Scooby-Doo and just was unexplainably Jarring the Witch was upsetting because of the steritypical witch nose but also Miles Pac made a note of the Ghost Monsters being an opressive force where they come from which is just a wild implication since the Ghost Mosters are also the Natives

I'm seeing double, 4 sharks!

Emily I heckin love Omo!!! I love putting little bagel counters on all my lands and creatures!!

one important line that yall failed to mention in the pacnic (did they ever even say pacnic??) episode was the very last line, said by one of the ghosts, out of nowhere, and with no visual cue: “ouch, you stepped on my toe!” truly inspired script 🤌🏼

unrelated: rescued a cat today and felt the spirit of the axford-murphy house within me

So does the cat exist in Pac Man lore or not? Murph went on such a tangent he never confirmed or denied.

A good mixed bag would be ranking the 10 worst things in NADDPOD and 8BBC history. I really wanted to know more about the Thanksgiving episode though, lol

Chomp chomp

I just relistened to the 8bbc episode did I manifest this? (If so I’m deeply sorry)

Do yall remember Uncle Majic?

I can't believe I had to watch 3 of these. I am here to share your suffering.

Heathcliff! he needs to join the naddpod universe!

Emily brought up that people on Pacman were honing their craft to get to Scooby Doo. In Pac Van Winkle the voice for Adult Baby Pac is Frank Welker the classic voice of Fred.

omg the thanksgiving episode… somehow not surprising

So down for March sadness

i’m so ready for march sadness

naddpod best of the worst when

Also the way Murph has been saying "welcome" on bonus episodes since Surprise Round started has been delightful

Emily quoting Plato’s republic to explain the pac man side story is beautiful, thank you so much

God bless, I have a 2 hour drive after work today 🙌🙌

GOOBY NOo!!

Perfect timing Murph! I'm just about to get some work done.

Well holy shit, I was looking for motivation to do my chores.

Murph being this invested in a franchise I'd never associate with him is perfection. after hearing him talk about this on the livestream I'm so stoked to hear it!

Good news everyone!!!!

Yusssss

Oh hell yeah
