The thing is: I know how Alex and Jonny sound in normal life. I have no problem watching them talking. But as soon as Jonny starts doing “Jon the Archivist” voice I get ridiculously uncomfortable and I just have to look away
I kinda love how Alex is all spiffed up in a blazer, sitting in a proper recording studio, and Jonny's just leaning the furthest into an arm chair in a silly jumper like everyone on a work zoom call
Alex laughing at every other line and putting his whole heart into them juxtaposed against Johnny staying perfectly mild-mannered in the face of even the most dubious requests is really quite something. He puts in emotion without twitching his face at all, meanwhile Alex is going full body language and hand gestures. It's delightful.

@@oliviawoloshyn5824 what I love is that the fandom has kind of unilaterally decided what they look like, albeit vaguely, but like for instance it has been a long time since I’ve seen a white Jon which is incredible, Martin pretty much always has curly hair and glasses and freckles which is just everything
what's so funny about alex doing pump shanty to the tune of drunken sailor is that he has SEEN THE MECHS LIVE so he'll of heard them play drunk space pirate fsdhjfadhska
I mean, he's got some experience, he's on the Terminus track of the Bifrost Incident. What I'd really like is for him to just have to come up with the songs based on poor memory and the title
@@kl-1447 oh he WAS!! i knew i recognised the voice, for others, its around 1 min in he says "Satellite here, We're experiencing heavy interference, can anyone hear us?" and also maybe something else in the overlappig bit i cant tell.
The funniest thing is how Jon is just relaxed back in his chair no matter the line he’s reading . I can’t imagine how slightly embarrassing it must feel to give very emotional lines and then must move right on lol
OOOOOOOHHHHHHH THAT'S WHERE THAT'S FROM the "it's rotten work" I keep seeing people animate on tiktok, cuz I just recently started listening to the Magnus Archives and couldn’t find that dialogue so I was so confused, turns out it was fan made
“Outside is bad time.” As someone who has received several second degree burns from the sun throughout my youth.. I felt that on a very personal level.
Other fandoms: "alright, who is the top in this relationship?" TMA fandom: "Alright, who is the sweater thief in this relationship?" Also, Martin as Peter's tech support has straight up slain me and has stolen my wallet Edit: I FORGOT ABOUT 19:02 HELP
these two people look like they haven't slept in weeks but still they manage to sound absolutely delightful when speaking Just something about their voices and accents, I guess
I feel the intro where they're talking about Christmas decorations would be switched. Martin has all the decorations, and Jon is like, "one bauble is enough."
YAS! I am so thankful for the people who clip, save and post these things. And yeah, I watched it live, but it will never stop me. Now I only need the Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes segment, it was brilliant. Alexander "Pleasant Sociopath" J. Newall *snort*
i just saw some pics from the live show they did in late 2019- you cant tell from these camera angles but alex is like. a whole head taller than jonny. alex is uncannily tall
is alex uncannily tall, or is jonny just quite small? because in one photoshoot for the mechanisms, the toy soldier has about half a foot on him, maybe. he may just be a small man.
It’s hard to watch cause cause I love it but feel so awkward about them being made to say those things so I HATE how happy it makes me to hear - no parasocial relationships!! You can’t know how much I CARE!!!
It physically hurts me that I can't watch this yet bc I'm only on season 2 and I don't want to risk being spoiled...but I have to say, the moment Alex started talking I literally teared up bc HE SOUNDS SO fkn CUTE I didn't know he used his "real" voice for Martin T_T #ded
"the magnus archives is a podcast-" " FUCK YEAH DUDE IT SURE IS" is literally my reaction every single time i hear the outro
Why does Jonny looks so serious reading these. Alex is just vibin and Jonny is just 👁👁
It’s very in character of them
Harnessing the eye
He’s the Avatar of the eye. 🤷♀️
Tbf his character is just 👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️
The thing is: I know how Alex and Jonny sound in normal life. I have no problem watching them talking. But as soon as Jonny starts doing “Jon the Archivist” voice I get ridiculously uncomfortable and I just have to look away
same-
OKAY SAME?!?!?! BUT LIKE WITH ALL OF THEM I CAN'T LIKE
PICTURE THEM AS THE CHARACTERS?
That’s the Eye watching you
I KNOW RIGHT ITS JUST WRONG
The only person I don’t have a problem with for whatever reason is Elias’s VA
I kinda love how Alex is all spiffed up in a blazer, sitting in a proper recording studio, and Jonny's just leaning the furthest into an arm chair in a silly jumper like everyone on a work zoom call
no one:
jonny, looking directly into the camera every time he reads a line: 👁️ 👁️
it's like when a cat looks you right in the eye while knocking something off a counter
There’s a reason he’s a podcaster
Ok but the fact that Alex is just alone in a dark room, and Jonny has someone doing a crossword in his space, just really reflects their characters.
Alex is just in a dark void with one Christmas bauble
Accurate Martin characterization
He’s just vibing and we love him
Jon please stop reheating tea in the microwave
Ju-just STOP PLEASE PLEASEEE JON. Pleaaaassseeee
I do that sometimes... i feel you Jon
"we need to smash through 15 minutes in 10"

As an audhd i confirm, I orbitate between both states 😂@@hezvandermeij
@@nicolecampos4153 SAME
this is so weird to watch because I forget what Jonny and Alex look like.
It feels uncanny. Also thank you for this
Same. They don’t look like how I imagine the characters
The stranger could never
for some reason i didnt know what alex looked like before this. i thought i knew but apparently i didnt.
im embarrassed to admit that i think i was just picturing jonny without a beard AJGHDGH

Me seeing Jon's and Alex's actual faces which do not fit their character's appearances at all:
👀I am looking away respectfully👀
Mood
I had to listen to this staring at a wall...
Respectfully
Genuinely same it makes me feel so strange LOL
Alex’s voice doesn’t match up with what he looks like and im just not looking at them! I pretend i do not see!
@@oliviawoloshyn5824 what I love is that the fandom has kind of unilaterally decided what they look like, albeit vaguely, but like for instance it has been a long time since I’ve seen a white Jon which is incredible, Martin pretty much always has curly hair and glasses and freckles which is just everything
I feel an insane amount of secondhand embarrassment for some reason, but also I love them
i thought it was only me lol
It's weird seeing the voice come out of an actual face 😬😳
i'm cringing so hard but i can't stop watching bacause they are like, so talentend and also very chill about it all? love their energy
Its the silence after every read out as there's no natural way to segway
i felt the same during the video where ben meredith reads lines as elias kwsbsjsbsn like i love it but it's embarrassing
Alex has such a devilish laugh its so contagious and sinister I love it
my friend pointed out how much he sounds like grain and i just can’t shake it like it is him, especially the laugh
i have to keep coming back to this because jon's delivery of "it's rotten work" at 4:47 hurts my soul
literally had to throw my phone when i first heard it
I can't believe he's real
@@hannahreid1557 m e t o o
Oh my god!!! This is where that’s from!?!?!?!
@@hunterduncan1078not originally, no. It's from Euripides
i love jonny's "okay alex." face whenever alex goes batshit for a line
The real Jonathan Sims is waaayyy more jovial than I would have imagined.
After only hearing him in the mechs and tma, this is surreal
"This is sufficent festivity" is such an alex thing to say
blartin martin cop is the most cursed thing ever
If only they'd asked alex to sing drunk space pirate, he got the tune
If only. It would be fun to see him sing it too
what's so funny about alex doing pump shanty to the tune of drunken sailor is that he has SEEN THE MECHS LIVE so he'll of heard them play drunk space pirate fsdhjfadhska
Can’t wait for Alex’s mechs cover to drop
I mean, he's got some experience, he's on the Terminus track of the Bifrost Incident.
What I'd really like is for him to just have to come up with the songs based on poor memory and the title
@@kl-1447 oh he WAS!! i knew i recognised the voice,
for others, its around 1 min in he says
"Satellite here, We're experiencing heavy interference, can anyone hear us?" and also maybe something else in the overlappig bit i cant tell.
@@duckky2443 if you made a Venn diagram of everyone involved in TMA and everyone involved in the Mechs, it would be a circle
The funniest thing is how Jon is just relaxed back in his chair no matter the line he’s reading . I can’t imagine how slightly embarrassing it must feel to give very emotional lines and then must move right on lol
how r they so straight-faced i'm losing my mind
6:52 audio recording by jonathan mulaney, the archivist.
jonny reading joe's monologue was engineered specifically to kill me
YES ME TOO THOUGH😭😭
“Martin was ejected”
It kills me how much of what Alex says sounds like it could actually come from Martin.
Okay but whoever made Jonny read Joe's speech from the Old Guard, you are my hero
YES! So glad i’m not the only one who recognized it immediately!
I’m pretty sure Sasha was giggling because they were in the part of the stream that ‘clown milk’ was referencing
Johnny is a big sweater guy and Alex is a smal dapper man, I'm-
ikr its weird
completely different.
4:47 Wait holy shit i didnt realize THIS is where that tiktok sound came from
Wait aren’t you the REDACTED asmr time stamp maker? 🤩
the brooklyn nine nine one made me so happy oh my god. especially since they're quoting another gay couple
8:56 - I died at the "honk" 😭
9:30 - This one is so good lmao
I just finished listening and i thought the LIGHTLY stabbed audio was from the actual show
are you telling me Jonny doesn’t have a filter for his tape recorder aesthetic and it’s just his really crap microphone
I, aswell, am flabbergasted
Though they must have had some way to make the others sound like that as well? Maybe it's software or something? 🤔
Here after 200... I'm not crying, you're crying
Watched this right before listening...
They slipped through with the fears and no one can convince me otherwise 😭😭
It's fine, they're fine *ugly sobbing*
I just finished and omg I'm dying
Alex tried so hard to sing pump shanty
Gah Jonathan has such an amazing voice. It’s like silk and velvet. The accent helps a lot. It’s just SO relaxing.
Jonny being polite about Alex botching Pump Shanty is
The animatic possibilities
THATS WHAT IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS WHOLE TIME
OOOOOOOHHHHHHH THAT'S WHERE THAT'S FROM the "it's rotten work" I keep seeing people animate on tiktok, cuz I just recently started listening to the Magnus Archives and couldn’t find that dialogue so I was so confused, turns out it was fan made
I had to stop several times to calm myself listening to this
God, I'm such a simp for these characters
pleasee i had to stop every other line bc my heart could barely take it
“Outside is bad time.” As someone who has received several second degree burns from the sun throughout my youth.. I felt that on a very personal level.

Sweater thief thing because Jon is actually ace lol.
@@robinTradeMarkSymbol yeah that's the joke
@zarrowthenorse
Oh excuse my stupidity 😭 I'm autistic so I'm like a walking r/woooosh
these two people look like they haven't slept in weeks but still they manage to sound absolutely delightful when speaking
Just something about their voices and accents, I guess
*sings pump shanty to the tune of drunk space pirate*
18:35- play with your eyes closed for martins support
I very much appreciate "The plural is 'anipodes."
Martin saying Oscar Wilde is overrated has shattered my heart--
this is weirder than the first time i watched a drawfee stream and had to put disembodied voices to faces LMAO
On the evict the cat from the Christmas tree one I literally choked on my tea 😂
16:23 UUUUUUUUUUUUH GUYS LOOK WHAT I FOUND
Look at Alex grinning like a little fiend at that one.
Look at him.
They knew.
HAAA
alexander newall you unbelievable bastard ive never hated you more/j
NO WAY
Hears improvised pump shanty *curls into a ball and cries*
16:06 I love how expressive Alex is in this one.
I feel the intro where they're talking about Christmas decorations would be switched. Martin has all the decorations, and Jon is like, "one bauble is enough."

little clone baby is cursed
thank you for the food
7:00 STREET SMARTS!!!
i just saw some pics from the live show they did in late 2019- you cant tell from these camera angles but alex is like. a whole head taller than jonny. alex is uncannily tall
Where did you find the pictures? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find anything from the live show
WHAT
is alex uncannily tall, or is jonny just quite small? because in one photoshoot for the mechanisms, the toy soldier has about half a foot on him, maybe. he may just be a small man.
have i watched this live plus twice more already? yes. will i watch the entire thing again 20 more times? also yes
19:00 I'm SCREAMING
Bro I cannot get over the fact that Alex J Newall decided to wear a fucking suit to a discord call
It’s hard to watch cause cause I love it but feel so awkward about them being made to say those things so I HATE how happy it makes me to hear - no parasocial relationships!! You can’t know how much I CARE!!!
The characters live within you both, so cool!
WHOSE GROUP CHAT’S INSIDE JOKE IS PAUL BLARTIN MARTIN COP???? CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME MORE CUS I LOST MY MIND THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT
oh god the old guard quote murdered me
Got it. Taking a drink during this video is a mistake. I just spit lemonade all over the place.
i love the amount of john mulaney references
So this is where the audio's have come from
they look so much like yogscast boys but, like, to the right
11:25 ok so whose going to take one for the team and blast Little Clone Baby the next time they see Jonny in public?
Taking how things are, he has a period of safety before he see him outside
@@isabelchmontuenga For now but not forever
@@amphitritemists4595 and this whole fanbase holds grudges so he can't stay safe forever
12:05 I was talking with my friend about John Mulaney quotes today so I was surprised to hear this....
Oh hey it’s my co-workers from the Magnus Institute.
IVE JUST STARTED LISTENING TO RUSTY QUILL GAMING AND I FINALLY GET THE HARRISON CAMPBELL REFRRENCE THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL FEELING
7:46 I'M CRYING STOP IT IM DYING BAHAHA ERJGNRGEN
alex looks like one of my uncles WHOSE NAME IS ALEX AND ITS SO WEIRD TO SEE HIM 😭
It physically hurts me that I can't watch this yet bc I'm only on season 2 and I don't want to risk being spoiled...but I have to say, the moment Alex started talking I literally teared up bc HE SOUNDS SO fkn CUTE I didn't know he used his "real" voice for Martin T_T #ded
Why is there so much overlap between John Mulaney and Sims fans?
Matching the voices to the faces is so so strange
17:28 as a hardcoe mechs fan, its so out of key i cringed so hard

This is the first time seeing them as they look irl and it's sending me that Jonny looks more like Martin than Alex ever will. AND vice versa.

Wait? What's that?!? Zolf Smith with a steel chair?!?!
They both laugh like actually maniacal villains.
"I don't think anyone is here to pay to listen to Alexander J. Newall."
