Steam Powered Giraffe the Spine the Spine Funny

• Far too many moments from their April 26th Livestream to count, but special mention goes to this exchange:

  Rabbit: Guys! This just in! This is the most views we've had ever!

  The Spine: How many views do we have?

  Rabbit: I dunno, like 900!

  The Spine: Wait, so you're telling me that people would rather see us just mess around for an hour rather than actually discuss interesting things?

  Rabbit: That's right!

  The Spine: Wow, internet.

  • Then later:
• This exchange:

  The Jon: I'd like to dance across all of the earth...IN THE NUUUUUDE!
  The Spine: WHOA, Jon, you can't dance across the earth in the nude.
  The Jon: Uh, why sure I can. Care to hold this guitar and I'll show ya.
  The Spine: No, no, no. I know you're very capable of doing it, Jon. I just mean you shouldn't. Because there are such things as public decency laws. Plus, I don't want to see you in the nude, and none of these people do either.
  The Jon: Well, I don't know, there's a couple of smiiiiles out there.
  The Spine: There are NO smiles. Sir, please stop smiling.

• David Bennett revealed that the band had a new video for fans...that turned out to be a cover of the Rihanna song "Diamonds." The fandom basically imploded.
  • "Hey, Spine, c'mon! There's an ice cream monster and we're gonna go lick it!"
• Walter Robotics seems to have adopted a new marketing strategy.
  • Rabbit: Every tenth purchase, they give you a prize! (peers into box) It's assorted bath soaps.
  • The final lines of the song:

    The Spine: If you're not happy, Hatchy will eat his shoe!

• Walter Robotics' shoddy (And incredibly on the nose) tagline: "Walter Robotics: We Make Robots."

  GG: That's a terrible slogan. You should have me write it next time!

• "Go Spine Go" from MK III is one hilarious moment after another.
• The skit opening before the song "Captain Albert Alexander".

  Rabbit: How many of you like fishing? THAT'S RIGHT NOBODY.

  • Also from the same video:

  Rabbit: "I know a guy who fights skeleton pirates on the back of killer whales!"

  The Jon: "Oh! Is it me??"

  Rabbit: "No, it's not you Jon."

  Jon: (sadly) Oh...

  Rabbit: "You don't have your sea legs for such an endeavor; Gotta trade in those B LEGS!"

• This video is a hilarious recording of the group performing Mack the Knife.
• Most of The Quest for the Eternal Harp of Golden Dreams, when it's not being Awesome Music. Highlights include:
  • Everything with Salgexicon and his group.
  • The first opening credits of the movie, which include such names as 'Raniel Ray Rouis' and 'Thom Crews' among the 'actors', costumes by Sara Dysentery, sound recording by the Harmond Institute for the Deaf and creature effects by Those Microwavable Pizza Bagels.
  • Rabbit's first lines after the opening song:

  Rabbit: "People always ask us: 'What is Steam Powered Giraffe'? And I tell them: 'Hey, get out of my house. You're not supposed to be here. This-this isn't your house! This isn't even my house! (looks around) What are we doing here? (gets up) I'm going! That's it!'"

  • During the same question, The Jon ends up making a pie chart about how of the pie is for him. The small slice for you. But if you don't want it, he'll take it.
  • "And that's where babies come from!"
  • Actually, everything The Jon says.
  • When the robots are asked about their inspiration, Rabbit talks about Santa Claus and how he fought the Balrog and came back as Santa Claus the White. And that he fights crime. And is also Rabbit.
  • Rabbit: "I would just pretend I was a Tyrannosaurus-Rex. With a dunce cap."
  • The Spine: "And Milli Vanilli."
  • StoryTaime Wif Rabbit.
  • Rabbit: "If at first you don't succeed, stop being a loser."
  • Halfway through the film, a blue screen with 'plop corn' and 'Bip Soda' appears as calm, jazzy music is played over the words 'Intermission'. The screen then becomes red and a loud noise sounds over the words 'INTERMISSION OVER'.
• From the Vice Quadrant comes the song Sky Sharks, featuring Professor Elemental, who opens up the song with this gem:
  • The ending:

  Rabbit: And in the end, it was the most humblest of God's creatures that stopped the sky sharks. Why, it was none other than fire! The word spread to the farthest reaches of Earth, and humanity collectively burned down every f-forest on the p-p-p-planet. The Sky Sharks left, and the world was safe again, free to smolder in a charred, ashy ruin!

  Offscreen Voice: Wait, what?

  • The music even stops after Rabbit finishes her speech.
  • When Rabbit is using the fire to drive away the sky sharks, you can hear dog-like whimpering from them.
• Behold, Steam Powered Giraffe's greatest song yet!
• This cartoon by LittleMacarons that was originally posted on the latters' Twitter page on July 27, 2020 with text-to-speech voices, and then officially posted on the band's YouTube channel with Isabella and David dubbing over, sees Rabbit and The Spine ordering robot parts from online. Hilarity Ensues.
  • One of the items is a pair of realistic human hands whose description heavily implies involves mutilating an actual human.
  • The prices are shockingly cheap: $5 for "Titanium-ish Exhausts", $3.50 for a "Mediocre Support Spring", $19.99 for the aforementioned "Realistic Hands", and one cent for "Boltz x5", which Rabbit and The Spine buy 20 units of (totalling 100 bolts) all for $1; they bought 100 bolts because they wanted some, Zero needed some, and The Spine was certain GG would eat some.
  • The Spine's name as listed in the checkout form. "First Name: The / Last Name: Spine"
  • Their struggle with the CAPTCHA. They try to click "I Am Not A Bot", reasoning that they're robots and not bots, but the cursor won't go over it, as if the CAPTCHA can detect that they're robots. Ultimately, a Walter Worker ^note who is not modeled after either Chelsea or Camille, or any past Walter Worker performer, but is instead modeled after a nameless worker who wears glasses with swirly patters on the lenses that appears in the webcomics walks in and does it for them.
  • After the Walter Worker completes the CAPTCHA, we see the total cost of the order. Although the items themselves are cheap and total $8.70, and the sales tax is 93 cents, shipping is exorbitant: $248.75, bringing the order total to $258.38.
  • Once the order is complete, there's an Awkward Silence between Rabbit and The Spine, before they realize that technology sucks.
• On October 4, 2020, a second cartoon titled Ice Cream Social was released, this time made in-house by the band's artist Gabi Gonzalez. The cartoon, done in an animatic style and with an instrumental version of the original, slower Album One version of "Clockwork Vaudeville" as opposed to the faster, shortened version performed at concerts, sees Rabbit, The Spine, and Zero have an ice cream social. They think it involves having bowls of ice cream socialize with each other. A series of fake-outs ensue after the robots leave for a weenie roast, in which it seems like the ice cream is about to talk, but instead, Rabbit and Zero separately rise from behind the table and address the audience, while The Spine iterates from offscreen that he is not behind the table. Eventually, the ice cream does begin to speak (the vanilla and strawberry ice creams being voiced by Chelsea and Camille Penyak in a rare in-canon speaking appearance, as they usually portray the silent Walter Workers), much to Rabbit's amazement. The Stinger shows the ice creams and their bowls blasting off like rockets, which elicits a Squee from Rabbit.
• The Steam Powered Giraffe Radio Adventures, a series of loosely-scripted, mostly-improvised audio skits involving the band getting into various shenanigans.
  • Episode 1 involves the robots getting GG's dry-cleaning, as well as The Spine and Zero arguing over the fact the latter keeps looking the former's fire truck (and drew on the rims with red Sharpie)
  • Episode 2 takes place in a mansion/ice cream factory that the robots inherited from their late great aunt, and apparently has a bunch of dead bodies; this episode also features Walter Worker Chelsea actually speaking
  • Episode 3 sees Rabbit and Zero spending all of The Spine's life savings to buy a video rental store
  • Episode 4 sees the robots opening up a detective agency and trying (and failing) to get some cases; GG is replaced by a block of cheese in this episode
  • Episode 5 takes place at a San Diego boardwalk (it's not specified which) and sees the robots working at a fry stand owned and operated by a giant talking seagull named Charlie after Zero loses some cursed pirate treasure that GG ate
• The band's April Fool's Day 2021 video turned out to be a brand-new song called "Fart Patrol". It's Exactly What It Says on the Tin, and it's glorious.
