GMMore 1847: Let’s Play: Animal Crossing

(rooster crows) (lion roars) – Welcome to “Good Mythical More.” We’re gonna visit some mythical crew members’ “Animal Crossing” islands via dream. – We’ve never played before. – Plus happy birthday to Stevie. Stevie, it’s your birthday! – [Stevie] Hey, thanks. A little birthday applause, love it. – She’s 29. – Is this your card? – [Stevie] Yes to both of those things. And you know, there’s no better way to celebrate than with a little “Animal Crossing,” because I’ve totally played it before. – Is this your card? – [Stevie] Yes, they’re both my cards. – Okay. Is this your coloring book? – [Stevie] Yes. – Yeah. You know what we’re doing? We’re donating $1,000 to Homes for Our Troops to aid in their mission to build and donate specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured, post-9/11 vets. These homes restore some of the freedom and independence our veterans sacrificed while defending our country and enable them to focus on their family and recovery. Please join us and giving it HFOTUSA.org. – Very cool charity. Thanks for being your mythical best and joining us in donating, and celebrating Stevie’s birthday. The launch of a brand new coloring book, Swedish fish aftertaste in our mouths. – All right, let’s go to one of these islands. Let me say– – It’s a crazy morning. – I’ve got friends, believe it or not, I’ve got friends and many of them are spending a lot of time playing “Animal Crossing,” and I didn’t know this, but now what I’ve learned is that lots of my employees are also playing “Animal Crossing.” Enough time on “Animal Crossing” to build entire islands. – So, okay, so whose are we at right now? – This is– – ‘Cause we’ve already gone to sleep and we’ve just woken up. – This is Lil D, who is known as, well, Trevor. I think that’s actually Trevor’s girlfriend, Lil D. She’s a rapper. – So she’s a rapper. – Yeah, so what? – Oh, look at those! – Those peaches look like booties. Let’s get some of those. – Oh yeah. – So what do I do? I hit uh, A button. Oh, look, I took all the peaches. – Did you do that? – Then I can look at them, look. Oh, no, I didn’t pick them up, I just shook the tree. – Yeah, they’re on the ground. – Okay. So come out of that. Pick them up. I need a better– – Peach. – Yeah, yeah, peach. – Squeeze that peach. – Oh, Y, you got to pick it up with Y. – I’m glad I’m just watching this. – I picked them all up. Now look, look, peaches! – Hey Rhett, let’s kind of look at the world a little bit. – Okay, there’s a waterfall. Can you go in there? – Oh, look it, that’s a nice water feature. Oh, it’s a person. – Hello. – Is that Little D? – [Both] Peen. (crew laughs) – So uh, is that, is that something that Trevor thinks is funny? – Is that Trevor talking to us right now? – Has he programmed all his? Let’s see what his other people say here. – And that’s the nurse. – Oh no, I don’t require guidance. – Go away from the time-traveling. – How do I wake up? Nevermind. (Link groans) Oh, no, no, no, no. – I’m gonna have to take over. – How do you, how do you X out? – I don’t know. – B? – All right, walk away, walk away. – Quit talking to me, lady. – Okay. Oh, hold on, go back there. What’s that say? Something cranny? – I don’t know how to change the view. Oh, there we go. – [Both] Nook’s Cranny. – Oh, that’s funny. – Let’s see if she says “peen” again. (laughs) Do they all say that? – Oh, is this a, this is where– – Is that a courthouse? – This looks like some sort of mortuary situation. – Mausoleum. – Mausoleum. – Well, there’s an owl, does the owl say “peen?” – Oh, hoo. – [Both] Rack City Museum. – Is that a boob joke, Trevor? – Move on. – Talking too fast. – Rack City. – Whatever. So, okay, well this is a dumb staircase. – Okay. (crew laughs) All right, get out of there. – Trevor, listen, usually staircases– – No, don’t go down there. I want to go around the island a little more. – But I think there’s something special down here. I think there’s something special down here, man. – I remember when I’d go over to your house and watch you play Mario. – Look at this, look at this. – Hit that, hit that block. – I’m trying to look up, but I can’t. – Peen. – What? This is, Trevor’s mind is twisted. He’s got staircases that go nowhere. – It’s a museum with nothing in it. Oh, to the left, oh, there’s dinosaur bones. – Oh, let’s read, let’s read. Let’s read about them. – My goodness. – Triceratops. Pachycephalous. – I don’t think he wrote this stuff. I think he just put it in there. It’s asking for a donation. – I ain’t donating to your fricking island, Trevor. – Is that just the head of a? – Let’s see if you got another dumb staircase that goes nowhere. – Are we ever getting out of here? – Look at Trevor and his staircases that go nowhere. – It’s just, they’re view points. – I’m leaving. But I didn’t have to pay for that. – I told you to leave earlier. You haven’t left yet. You’re just in a different room of the museum, I think. Yeah. – Oh gosh. I’m never gonna get out. – We’re never getting out of this. – Follow the light. – Now that’s where you were a second ago, I think. – Right, but at least I know this way I can, okay. – Have you had a hat on the whole time? – Oh yeah. Oh, I think I can run. Oh, look. – Yes, please run. – I’m running as much as I possibly can, man. – Nothing to see in here. It looks like an empty deli. – Who’s supposed to enjoy the museum? I’m leaving, buddy. You know. – That’s awkward. It’s like when you walk into a shop, realize you don’t like anything in there, and the person you’re the only person in there with the shopkeeper and you’re like, “okay, bye.” – This is kind of cool. – This world is cylindrical. – Speaking of Trevor, you know, he’s over there in the Mythical Kitchen, and I recently collaborated with the Mythical Kitchen folks, he and Josh, I was on an episode of Fancy Fast Food where we made my favorite sandwich ever, the McRib, and it turned out to be so fancy. – Oh yeah? – We cooked ribs– – Spent a lot of money? – At my house, we tasted the McRib. We tasted the fancy McRib. Check it out, it’s over on the Mythical Kitchen channel. I had a lot of fun. I think you’ll have a lot of fun watching it. – They won’t let you take a swim. Mythical Kitchen channel, Rhett making a fancy McRib. Oh, don’t think you’ve met before. All right. All right, I’m kind of done with Rack City. – All right. – Let’s go to um. – Yeah, let’s get outta here. Greg, I was told that Greg stayed up until 3:00 AM last night making, making his island. – Maybe he’s got a staircases that go places. All right, where is that lady that helps me get back? – There it is, lay down on the bed. – Now I’ll lay down on the bed. – There you go. (characters muttering) It’s time to wake. – I want to wake up. – And then we’re gonna go to another place. – Close your eyes and relax. Now imagine the shrill tones. – What? – Jiemmem? What’s the name? – [Stevie] It’s supposed to be GMM. – Jiemmem, I get it. – Now we’re going to sleep and we’re gonna show up at another island. – Stevie, what are you doing for your birthday day, besides being here with us? – [Stevie] Oh boy. – It’s not work, this is your birthday. – [Stevie] Yeah, you know, when you reach your 33, it just, it gets more exciting. So a lot of stuff, I am just jam packed with stuff. I can’t even begin to tell you one of the things ’cause it’s so jammed with celebration. – Oh gosh. – Rhett? – What? It looks like I’m just pushing the bed. I can push the bed around with the best of them. – How do we get to another island? Greg stayed up till 3:00 AM. If we don’t show. – What do I do, Chase? How do I get in the bed? – [Chase] Go to the side of it. – Go to side. – [Chase] Walk towards it. – Oh, easy peasy. Yeah. – Get some sleep. – Yeah, I want to sleep. – I’ll just lie down. I’m like, why would just lie down? Look at that. – Whoa! Look at that. – So when you dream, you can travel anywhere, to all of your employees’ islands. – Well, look at there. – I gotta say guys, I rarely dream about you guys. I just, doesn’t happen. – How may I be of assistance? Well, take me, I want to dream? – Yes. Now you want to go. – I shall connect you to the internet. Oh, come on, that’s it, come on. That really takes, it take you out of the magic. Connecting to the internet? I want to connect to the dream world. – I think that’s because lawyers said if you’re connecting to the internet, you have to tell people you’re connecting to the internet. So you’ve got to make that right. – How shall I prepare your dream? Revisit? – [Chase] Yep. – Please select a dream. – Let’s go to NotAPhase, which is Greg’s. – Where’s that? NotAPhase. All right, Greg. Greg’s not in here, so we can say whatever we want to about him. – He’s probably still sleeping ’cause he stayed up so late. Why’d he wait ’til the last minute to create his island? – I’ve got some very large expectations about this. Look at that smoke coming out of that thing next to the– – That’s my diffuser. – I wish my dreams were this vivid. – Does he call it NotAPhase because he’s like really into “Animal Crossing” and it’s not a phase? – Yeah, I think he’s committed forever. All right, here we go. – The only thing I accomplished in that last place is I got three peaches. – Walk towards the light. Okay. – Similar deal. – Kind of looks like Lil D’s place. Hop up. – Yeah, I’m just trying to. – Okay. Okay. – We know the rules. – Skip, skip, skip, skip. All right, so let’s walk around. Don’t go in any museums, we learned that. – Let’s see if somebody says– – Oh wow, it’s a freaking Godzilla. – Greg where’s your people? – Got some palm trees. So everything is, everything that exists is something that was placed by Greg? Is that how this works? Or does it generate it randomly like Minecraft? – Greg, you got a lot of open field. – Oh, you got– – Oh, there’s a person. – waterfalls going into holes! Look at that waterfall corridor. There’s a person. – Here we go. – Don’t sneak up on him like that. – Oh. (crew laughs) – Meep. – It’s almost peen backwards. Okay. – What’s up with these waterfalls to nothing? That’s a dead end. – What in the world? That guy just sits at the end of that road and says “meep.” Are there other people? Greg, this sucks. (crew laughs) – Oh look, he, oh freak it, we didn’t even go in the museum, and oh gosh, here we are, in a museum. – These they’re probably not actual real bones, they’re molds, but they should not be outside. – I think Greg thought he was being really creative. What he didn’t know is we just came from a weak museum. – I think the whole deal, oh there’s somebody. How do you get down there? – Jump. – I’m trying, is there a jump button? Oh gosh. In the real world, I would’ve jumped down there. Let me see if I can get down there and see what they say. – There’s a wooly mammoth. Where’s Yoshi? – Oh gosh. Greg, you need more exits. – Yeah, this is not an OSHA compliant. You’re trying to run over to talk to this person. I hope they have something good to say. – Oh, I’m sure they do. (character chatters) – What? – What’s up, whatevs? – I met someone who could appear out of thin air. Is that us? – Let me see about this. – Venus comb. – I took a shell, that’s technically against the law. – Oh, get, take that one too. – You shouldn’t take shells from the ground. – Leave no trace. – If everybody took shells from the beach, get out of my way, there’d be no shells. I’ll take this one. – What are you gonna do with these shells? – I’m gonna deposit them. – Can we take the shells to another dreamland? – Is this? Oh, there’s somebody. – I know we don’t know each other, but I can already tell you’re gonna love this island. It’s pretty great, you know, for a small mass of land, okay. – What’s the appeal here? – I think you can, you know, you can do things like make money and trade. Go to another island. I want to see Caleb’s island because he’s a graphic designer. I bet his island will be awesome. – Oh, that’s a good point. I want to wake up. – Dang, Greg stayed up till 3:00 AM making that crap. – You shouldn’t have ever gone to sleep, Greg, you should have just stayed up all the way through, pull an all nighter, maybe we would’ve had something of interest. – Why isn’t there a shortcut from one island to the next? Why I got, why you got to wake up, go back to sleep again? People love this game. – Yeah, it’s very popular. What does that tell you about society? – I don’t, I think that they play it differently than us. By the way, there’s a triceratops display in the bedroom. We can’t escape this crap. – Look at me just getting right back in my bed. Some days I do that, some days I get up and get right back in bed. – Yeah, it’s like, you know what? False start. It ain’t even worth it. – I want to get back in that same dream again. – All right, so Caleb’s is called Peyr. – Yeah, we’ve been here before. – Isn’t that like from like Greek mythology? Is that an Oedipal city? – Peyr? – Yeah. – Possibly. – Don’t touch power. It’s saving, I’d hate to lose any of this. Oh yeah, Peyr, there it is, four down. Yes, that is correct. I thought that said “yes, it is dope.” – I have every reason to believe that I’m gonna wake up to that lady in front of that same building. – Emerge within the dream of Peyr. All right, Caleb, you design mythical apparel. – Yup. – We got high expectations for your island, sir. If there’s dinosaur bones all over this thing, then there’s no way, you’re much more original than that. – Well, there we are. Same lady, same building. – Oh, I see some tulips. Open your eyes, Rhett, wake up, get out of bed, Rhett. We understand. – Yeah, we know, we know how it works. – Ooh, we got some fruit, shake those trees. – Apples. – Oh, Nook’s Cranny. See, they didn’t come up with it. Trevor didn’t come up with Nook’s Cranny. It’s just a sign you can put up, shake the tree. – I’m trying to. – Now check out that, there’s a power pole that he’s got electricity on his island. – It’s got a balloon, that’s pretty cool. – Take it. – I’m trying to, but he won’t. – Come down this way, I want to see- – I’m trying to cast a spell on that thing. – He’s got like some telephone. – He’s got a lot of foliage. – Look at that, there’s a statue. – Oh, look at this, we got a– – Go in there. – Pier-side restaurant. – No, this is airlines. This is, this is a travel agent. – All right, Caleb. I’m impressed so far. Look at this, nobody’s waiting. I’ll just go right through. Nope. – Nope, you got to talk to the person. – Guess I gotta talk to him. Yup. – Yeah. Yeah, okay. It’s weird, isn’t it? – So, we’re trying to travel to? – I dreamt here. – Yeah, that’s what we did. So you’re not gonna be able to fly. – Do you accept apples? – [Ellie] Hey guys, this is Ellie. I underestimated how much you guys have never played “Animal Crossing” before. – Yeah, I’ll tell you how much we’ve never played it, entirely. – [Ellie] Everyone has a little airport. Everyone has a few things. They have the museum, the airport, the store, and like admin features. So this is all Caleb’s specific, this like snack area. It’s very well decorated. – So everything that we’ve criticized is something that they didn’t even do. – [Ellie] Yeah, you’re criticizing the basic gameplay. (laughs) – Yeah we are. Oh look, you just ate a pear. – I just ate a pear. – But Caleb put that snack machine there, right? Don’t go in there. – Nook’s Cranny is closed. – Where should we go? What’s something, oh, there’s a person. – Oh, he’s got a mask on. – So I’m trying to figure out what Caleb did. What can we give Caleb credit for? All of these statues, a xylophone in front of a statue? Seems like a Caleb thing. – I can’t even pick up balls. I’m knocking on, yeah, I’m going in here. – Oh, backwards, back in. – You don’t need to welcome me, I’m letting myself in. – [Ellie] Yeah, this is Caleb’s house, and it looks insanely tricked out for the level of “Animal Crossing.” – Okay, see Ellie has given us some context, thank you. – [Ellie] You can play the xylophone if you want if you go up to it, I think that’s the xylophone. – Yeah, Let’s play, let’s play those. – [Ellie] Go in front of it, and I think– – That’s a bed. – Oh, this. (gentle music) – [Ellie] You can pet that snapping turtle. – Sounds good. – Is there another button besides A that should be hitting? – [Ellie] To do things? – Yeah, I’m looking at the thing here. Pick up items is Y. – [Ellie] Yeah, but you’re not gonna pick anything up right now. – You might, go over to that record player. Play that. – I just like holding my hands out towards things. – We’re so bad at stuff. I mean, I’m not doing anything, but I know I would be bad at it. Go into the back room there, let’s see where Caleb sleeps. – You think Caleb’s in there? Are we gonna find Caleb? – That’s it, look at those roots, this is cool. Looks like a Cambodian, oh, we’re in his bathroom. – Look at this, Caleb. I’m in the middle of your bathroom and I’m walking in your pee puddle. – He’s got a freaking urinal or is that a? That’s a Squatty Potty? – Oh, I flushed it, I flushed it. – Okay, so he’s got a skeleton that’s in a certain time zone and he’s got a muscular person in another time zone, but it’s the same time, and you’re leaving. – I see, I’ve seen enough. – That’s pretty cool. – How do you? – Look at those trees? – How do you kill the other players? Because that, ’cause isn’t that what gaming is about? – Yeah, it’s like Sniper, oh look at this. – Caleb, you little devil. – I’m telling you, he’s got a game room, look at him. You know, what do you want to do? You want to ride a bike? You want to play a video game? I know, let’s write on a chalkboard. – I’m just trying to figure out things to do. – This is, see, he’s got a cool pad, man. He’s got a sewing machine. Nope, that’s an espresso machine. – Look at this. – Oh, you figured it out now. What’s he watching? – Ah, what are you watching, Caleb? Let’s just watch television inside of this thing. Let’s call somebody. (Link sneezes) – Bless you. I want to go, go to Caleb’s room to the right. Yeah, go back the other way, let’s see this final room. Finally, something interesting. Go across to the other side. – Whoa, I fell. Did you see that? – I think you sat on a– – Hey, look at me. – Start typing. Oh, you’re typing. – Oh, you just, yeah look, ding ding ding ding. – Type “Rhett and Link were here. Sorry we missed you. We walked around on your pee puddle. Here’s a few shells.” – Done. – Okay, and then go through there. – Oh, I’m expecting big things from this. – Dude’s got some, got some sweet rooms. Oh look, he’s got a little, look at this, it’s an outdoor indoor space. – Can’t pick up your buckets. – Isn’t this brilliant? He’s got a freaking, freaking pizza oven. – Can I sit here? Yeah, you sit there. – Let’s just sit here and enjoy it. – Alright, Caleb, you got it going on. – I think I was gonna hang out here for the rest of the day in your little outdoor indoor area. – Um, floral. (Josh groans) Maybe that’ll mix in well. – (yells) Mix into what well? Mix into the scent of? – It does smell like the inside of a trash can.
