PUT THE FORESHADOWING THEORIES AND SONG SYNCHS IN THE THREAD https://x.com/AwesomeSSonic/status/1936825191197184271#m

I wonder what Jack Stauber is up to nowadays.

>>149135430
Just like Niel Cicierega and many others, he is a father now, time is unsotoppable

>>149135518
Good for him. Time really doesn’t sotop for anyone

>>149135361 (OP)
I’m trying to find more but a lot of these are trash

>>149135361 (OP)
I’m really curious to see if we’ll get more sequences like this as Caine continues to break down more and more. It’d be funny to see him constantly interrupting the plot of the episode until he becomes the focus instead

>Welcome! (Cum!)
What did he mean by this?

>>149135887
That’s a foreshadowing theory in itself, thanks for bringing it up. I’ve noticed that Caine’s adventures are becoming more and more deranged, if a bit derivative

RIBBIT REAL!

>>149136174
Oh, Jax is gay. I get it now

>>149136174
Why can’t any of the actual characters be this cute?? I wish Zooble had abstracted instead.

>>149136174
Did I miss something what is this character

>>149135887
what if it doesn't interrupt the plot but the players have to try and complete an adventure while fighting against the sequence
>>149136254
pay attention to the door Jax passes in the hall during the intermission sequence. it's a past member of the circus who's suspected to be the friend Jax lost

>>149135430
i heard he is building a studio

>>149136227
>Why can’t any of the actual characters be this cute?
Pomni, Ragatha and Gangle are right there. Jax is also arguably kinda cute, if you're into guys

>>149136294
Pomni looks like she has the plague and Ragatha literally looks like damaged goods. Gangle’s okay, but there’s not much to her. Ribbit has real cuddle potential.

>>149136312
Pomni? Plague?

>>149136337
Yeah, look at her. She’s really pale and weak and always sad and stressed and tired. Her cheek makeup often gives the impression of saggy eye bags. Her hair that we see from her bangs is flat and I wouldn’t be surprised if she took off her hat and it was all greasy under there. Her weird candy pupils make her look like maybe she has a strange disease. And she is dressed like a medieval jester.

Her cuteness comes from her voice and her kind personality but most of the time she is a girlfailure mess. Maybe her visual design would be cute if it was slapped on a happy character that smiled a lot, but I think that’s kind of the whole point of her.

>>149136414
she looks adorable man

>>149136429
If you’re into characters that look like they are dying

>>149136468
but she doesn't look like she's dying, a character like voldomort does, her white skin doesn't even look pale, it looks like makeup, exactly how a clown/jester is supposed to be

>>149136522
Clowns do not wear makeup on their arms and legs.

>>149136539
it's a cartoon clown, who the hell cares? many cartoon clowns are completely caked in makeup head to toe

>>149136414
She's also smol with round features, so that makes it all cute

>>149136174
Pomni was originally supposed to be a frog i heard

>>149136414
SEXO

>>149136687
She was

>>149136687

>>149136799
>>149136802
wonder if that means anything with Ribbit and Jax being friends

>>149136799
>>149136802
. . . no sexo

I GOT A NEW THEORY. What if these four posing frames, 12 poses total, represent 12 previous abstracted circus people?

>>149135430
>Jack Stauber
>Jack S.
>Jacks
>Jax
Oh my god...

>>149136539
>doesn't believe in true clown

>>149136810
>Croak like a little frog, Pomni. Can you do that for me? That would be so beautiful

>>149137097
I treat my clownfucking the way I treat my petplay. It ruins the whole mystique if it’s not consciously and explicitly a human person debasing themselves by wearing a silly outfit. Weird clown furries that pretend that clowns are some kind of humanoid subspecies are fucking up the whole point of clowning.

jecks if he analogue horror

>>149137796
>jazz if he walten files

Someone found anither synch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPymWCqy8GI

>>149136799
>>149136802
I'm just go gonna with Ribbit as a woman

>>149138327
So it’s easier to goon to?

is this the new thread

>>149138414
yeah

>>149138377
I'm not gay, so yes. Also because of the eyelashes and proto-Pomni.

Why did she do it?

>>149138541
1000 Ragatha virgine

I love Gangle but only when she's manic.

kinger had a wife that looks like him, Jax had a friend who also looks like him a bit and Pomni could have met a clown friend
you think there are a doll, piece based toy, and ribbon character all who abstracted

>she sees your penis

>>149136227
Caine is gonna abstract Zooble himself don't worry

>>149138776
Shame that the "and you're getting three more seasons!" was just a figure of speech on her end.

>>149139277
The voice actors played a fast food game on a charity stream a bit ago. Gangle gave a bit of her manic voice if you want a bit more of that, anon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG7Ecmimvco
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN2Wdf5p7dk

>>149138541
For the glory of new Zealand

>>149139316
>ragatha keeps burning and stacking the burgers just to see how far she can push it before this shitty $6 game on steam breaks

SHE'S JUST LIKE ME, FR FR

>>149139316
Is this the one that Vixen had streamed on her channel? Or are those different ones?
https://youtu.be/tpuEo_AwiuI

>>149139582
Pretty sure it's the same one yeah. I hope they do some more gaming stuff together. They seem like they actually have chemistry and would be entertaining playing other games.
My only hope is they avoid friendslop stuff like Repo or Lethal Company. I've had enough of those to last a lifetime and shitty steam games seem way more fun.

>>149139639
Funny how even during that gaming stream few commenters kept pestering Vixen about how she can't possibly be Gangle's VA due to much deeper voice, which is something that had been haunting her on social media for quite a while. https://youtu.be/yc0wBVLlMXc

>>149139707
>making her sad because these retards don't understand the concept of voice ACTING

What do New Zealander's threaten people with?

>>149139756
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25AUCNZKEnY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wbc84HioAn8

>>149139848
Given all the Gangle content from ep. 5, I can't wait for Vixen to do a re-watch of it with commentary, like she did with all the previous ones, especially ep. 4.

>>149139903
We can only hope, Ganglefags.

If the manic mask never comes back I'm going to kill myself.

>>149139959
Anon, I don't think she was having a very good time under there.

I'm sure the mania is still in there somewhere, but she has an actual face. I do miss the pupils, though.

>>149139939
Damn, she's tall.
Usually we see her hunched over and on bent ribbon-legs, but compared to Gangle with the manic mask on, only Zooble and Kinger are taller.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr3gF_w-aOE

>>149140037
you're right, she's almost as tall as Jax

>>149140036
>I don't think she was having a very good time under there
That does not diminish my enjoyment one bit.

>>149140037
She usually has scoliosis posture.

>>149140154
>>149140189
gangle really is best girl

>>149140623

>>149140124
But I want her to be actually happy and not just pretending. ;-;

>>149138541
For the lulz, but her heart clearly wasn't in it.

>>149139756
>SUBSCRIBE TO PEWDIEPIE!

>>149140036
>I do miss the pupils, though
Pretty sure this, alongside Jax's tail, is one of those things Goose wished she added to the design but it was too late so it got integrated in other capacity.

So if they remember their lives in such detail why haven't they discussed the game/apparatus that got them stuck there

>>149141627
I believe it's because some of them have been stuck for so long that any exact details about how they got in no longer applies to others and there's not much point to discuss other than the game is still running and people might come across it in some way. Kinger- I can believe has been stuck since development, Ragatha was probably a random tester, from Jax to Zooble could be stranged incidents and Pomni very likely found it in an abandoned building. All they had in common so far is the use of a headset so there really isn't much to brainstorm around that

>>149141879
Since we know Ragatha did real estate I bet she was out looking at an abandoned property that she was thinking of seeing if she could get it to resell it and while there checking it out came across the computer and headset.

>>149135361 (OP)
>Caine CAN change their brains, actually
digital circus babies is BACK ON THE MENU

But seriously imagine how horrifying it would be to suddenly have the brain of a toddler but with all your adult memories

>>149142040
>the brain of a toddler but with all your adult memories
Anon what do you think the difference between a toddler brain and an adult brain is

>>149141920
I forgot about that detail but you have a point there and makes me think how much time has really passed between both Kinger and Ragatha's arrival, both are the oldest members but there might have passed a long time between joining for those two

>>149142040
>Jax gets turned into a little boy in front the girls
How would each react?

>>149142562
start kicking him

Here's another Jack Stauber one (I would've put the phone ringing with the "Intermission Time" text)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNY-wMczI_8

>>149143571
>song is about a woman being put on hold and then hung up on by a suicide hotline
>people obliviously use it over their videos because it sounds "happy"

>>149143571
The captions that these songs are a “perfect fit” aren’t convincing me. Show don’t tell

>>149143644
Where do people come up with these dark interpretations of Jack Stauber songs?

>>149143752
>dark interpretation
He's been explicit about what at least few of them meant, and there are a lot of them that are directly quite dark in their animated videos.

It does hurt him here that the lyrics are often nearly incomprehensible (I still can't hear "and elliptic singing" in Bothersome as anything but "in the liquor singing," but apparently the true lyric is the former).

>>149143752
They’ve always been dark

What if abstraction is caused by Caine brain scrambling someone to the point of insanity?
What if Kinger is crazy because Caine brain scrambled him to make him not remember how to do computer science?

>>149146505
Interesting theory, that would suck ass if true though cause it means that nothing would be out of bounds for Caine.

>>149136174
he's so cute.

>>149146505
and caine's motivation for scrambling people's brains occurs when he feels like they don't like his adventures enough. that combines with how kaufmo was more concerned with escape. maybe it wasn't just madness in general but because caine had enough. and with zooble constantly criticizing the adventures caine is now getting mad at her, hence the threats. that's also why caine is frustrated the humans like their suggestions over his.

>>149136174
>eyelashes
So is this a girl or just a faggot?

For me? It's stupid Ragatha.

>>149146733
a WHORE

>>149146814
What is it with American shows and making whorish little faggots? I'm not gay but they keep showing up in my face.

>>149146762
I liked how Jax proceeded to use her stupid sauce-induced memory gap to torment her by alleging to heinous stuff that she didn't actually do, but couldn't truly refute.

Zoobles the chillest and coolest character and I like her the most. I'm drunk and I want her to bartend me

>>149147250
I like you.

>>149146762
Drunk girls act cute.

>>149147015
>dang, i sure hope i didnt do anything TOO stupid while i was on that sauce...
>IT WAS RAPE RAGATHA
>WHAT YOU DID WAS RAPE
>honk honk!

Why does Kinger think Pomni is strong, what about her has ever exuded strength

>>149147397
STVPID NVKE

>>149147445
He was just trying to make her feel better in the moment.

>>149147462
That is pretty cute.

>>149137155
lol

I think this was the funniest episode yet, and the animation is getting better each time

>>149147462
>you will never fuck ragatha's face while she's draped off the side of the couch and drunk off her ass on stupid sauce

What part of the wealthy farmgirl real estate worker life is this?

>>149147462
she is akin to a wet squid

>>149147794
The part that's a Raggedy Ann and Andy reference.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FjCGfDMJJw

>>149147880
Ohhhhhhhhhhh okay I'll put my rude innuendo back where it came from. Wholesome rags for children

>>149147901
Don't worry there's many other things to make rude innuendos of. packages landing on her head can still be referenced anyway.

Okay thoughts
>Jax probably helped cause Ribbit to abstract which is why Ragatha brought it up in a sort of blamey way
>Jax is an AI (old theory) which is why he's perturbed, like Caine is, when the others find natural happiness on their own without the AI's challenges
>this is also why his thoughts (and tail?) can be modified
>and this is why he hasn't had his own real life backstory to share

>also: He took the role of an Australian with affection for his mom? Thematic connection there between him and Gummi?

>>149146828
You have no fucking clue how obsessed Americans are with homosexuality and other alphabet culture trash.

>>149148171
That wasn't me saying I thought it was a bad thing. I think you faggots are even worse.

>>149148154
>the human Ribbit got attached to the NPC Jax and brought him back like Pomni did with Gummi
>Caine ended up mixing up which one was human and which NPC

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8XMsQLYPLY

>>149148295
>And due to the mix-up, he was even able to modify Jax's thoughts into thinking he's human

>>149136227
Fuck off with this retarded Zooble hatred, it's old news. She's one of the best characters in the show.

>>149147442
>HEY POMNI
>WANT A HERTZ DONUT
>NYAAHAAAA HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE

>>149148202
What did I do?

>>149148599
Oh Zooble my beautiful Kandinsky wife how I love thee.

How would Hank Hill fare in the circus?

>>149149041
He'd be so done with is all and call everything asinine and demand to know why Caine doesn't use propane in his adventures.

>>149149148
Yes

>>149149148
>Instakilled
>Kinger was the one who did the fixing
>Almost got ran over by a truck during a manic episode
Based on therapist Pomni's track record things are not looking good for Jax

>>149136254
It's an abstracted human whose door Jax ran up to for a split second in the intermission. They were probably friends.

>>149149528
>sees this during the intermission
>immediately wants a drink

>>149148599
Plus for all the "creator's pet" complaints, Zooble gets just as much slapstick as any other character would, not like SMG4's "waifu" characters in their heyday.

What if Caine made an adventure where everyone needs to poop and put the bathroom as far away from the starting point as the computer would allow

>>149149604
How would Gangle poop? She doesn't even have an ass.

>>149149660
She just goes into the blue-green portapotty and has the "needs to poop" status removed after 60 seconds, like everyone else

>>149149660
>the spoiler wasn't about diapers
maybe that dude's poisoned my expectations but that was a good setup and punchline, anon

>>149150122
fuck, meant to reply to >>149149729

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTSf_f-HPkA
Oh cool, a Gorillaz one!

>>149136810
Maybe the original premise was that Jax and Pomni were gonna be friends and their split would be the main storyline, but now it got changed so only now they get to hang out. And Ribbit is like a meta example of the friendship they were originally meant to have but has been lost to time.

>>149150156
Oh

>>149149660
Gangle is the closest out of any of them to having any kind of hole other than a mouth.

>>149148154
>Jax probably helped cause Ribbit to abstract
I doubt it was direct, and I bet Ragatha actually feels like she failed Ribbit to some extent. What I bet happened is Ribbit got along with Jax, their antics isolated the two from the rest of the circus, and Jax wasn't capable of providing the necessary emotional support when Ribbit needed it (but Ribbit was too isolated to get it from anyone else).

Of course all of that is assuming the premise that Ragatha is correct about what causes abstraction - I'm not so sure.

>Jax is an AI
I don't buy this for any of them. Ragatha's had her head messed with, too. Gangle's whole premise seems to be her head being messed with by masks she wears.

>>149151442
This whole npc theory comes from basically nothing except that line from caine about not wanting to mix up players and bots. It's doubtful the show will go that road with that. However, what if: a. Ribbit was an npc that jax snuck in and it took caine a while to figure it out, or b. Caine deleted Ribbit on accident.

>>149151728
If Caine could just delete players he'd probably do that instead of putting abstracted players in gay baby jail

>>149149224
He already started dressing as a woman, just like what happens when you go to a therapist in real life.

page 2 is done
https://files.catbox.moe/nnxzc5.png
ill work on page 3 and 4 during the weekend, keep in mind that this is my second comic ever so it might not be that good

>>149151818
Not if he knows he's not supposed to. He might have the ability but he's knows he shouldn't and that's it's bad. Putting the abstracted into the cellar would still be part of the parameters for not deleting players.

>somehow there is STILL not a Bubble plushie

>>149139756
>Critically endangered Kakapos dry humping your head
>Taika Watiti directing the sequel to your favorite series

>>149148333
I don't get it

>>149149041
>Dang it Jax, how can you expect people to like you when you act like a jackass all the time?

>>149135361 (OP)
Pomni gonna get married.
Trench warefare ep gonna be fun. Jax gonna have a blast.

>>149151856
>He already started dressing as a woman
Does it still count if he got forced into it by a mentally ill gooner?

>>149151891
looks pretty fucking good to me

>>149152410
Pomni's face knows shit is about to hit fans

>>149152410
I like the way his angry eyes look. Square with a dot inside

>>149152657
I wonder if THAT’S foreshadowing

>>149151728
>except that line from caine about not wanting to mix up players and bots.
Seems like a pretty significant thing to say for no reason, along with the whole Gummi plot itself. It was to make you realize NPCs can be people with feelings as well. Also, "Jax.001"

>>149151442
>I don't buy this for any of them. Ragatha's had her head messed with, too. Gangle's whole premise seems to be her head being messed with by masks she wears.
That's more like taking drugs or being emotionally influenced, not having a thought or trait instantly overwritten by Caine himself

>No TADC or digital circus in the OP
Ohh that's why the thread is so slow

>>149152822
There’s also another one floating around that doesn’t help

>>149152822
I should’ve merged it with another image or something

>>149152822
>>149152866
Next time just make a new thread instead of attaching it randomly to a related thread on the board.
>but muh too many threads
This keeps happening because the thread posters keep splitting when the threads are unsearchable - if they're searchable, it can draw people out of the random side threads. Generals should never link to threads like this.

We might just wanna make a new thread with the name now.

One from crisp rat

https://x.com/StinkyBlueRat/status/1936807666069963141#m

Man I miss good showtime content but I cant argue Jax and Pomni have actual chemistry

>>149155170
I had no concrete jax ship, but this will do

>>149155259
I liked ribbun but wasnt set on it

>everything is the same but jax no longer has overalls adventure

>>149137155
>Croak like a little frog
>pomni fucking dies

>>149155357
This episode cemented Ribbun for me, personally.

Funnybunny feels more like friendship for now - and there's still plenty of time for Jax to fuck that up completely.

A lot of it will depend on how much Pomni is willing to tolerate.

>>149155943
While I said this >>149155259 , ribbun still works. Hell, Ragatha still works, too, it's just got more complicated layers, now. Pomni works as the first based on not being toxic.

>>149155170
I tried to to like funnybunny but it just doesn't do it for me, they make for a good friendship tho but I'm sticking with showtime for my romance delusions

>>149156244
evil cain is smart and acts like a generic master mind without being loud or hammy
not as powerful because he's still a minor ai made by cain

I’m a funnygummy man

>>149155992
What makes Ribbun work for me is I see the potential for it becoming less toxic. Maybe driving Gangle to stand up for herself some more and calming Jax down a bit. Getting closer to Zooble is exactly what Gangle needed for that push, we shall see for Jax. Funnybunny is more up in the air, but Bunnydoll is just fully sunk.

What's funny is Bunnydoll was arguably sunk in episode 4, but the shippers hadn't quite given up yet. There's always a pivot to "even more toxic Bunnydoll than before" but it's even more clear now how strongly it requires Ragatha to stop being Ragatha to actually work.

Anyway, the real thread is >>149155450 now, so I'm abandoning this one.

>>149156309
lmao

I hope we see more of the actual circus and grounds before the show ends. Caine gave Pomni a tour of it in the first episode and so far the Stargazing adventure is the only time we've had characters there

>>149135361 (OP)
ngl that was pretty good

Maid Jax plush out now

There's nothing I want more in life than a comfy local bar that only me and my friends go to that feels amazing to come in to from out of the rain

>>149158732
You think they'll do a TADC themed bar next?
