Creating a Toothsome Warrior in Starfield | Monster Factory

Toddddddd, we fixed your game – you’re so welcome. Just jammed in a whole buncha extra sliders for our own personal uses, so we can create the twisted villain of a man we needed. You know how it is.

- [Griffin] Tooth check. - [Justin] No teeth yet, good. Perfect, good! Staying on task. (playful electronic music) - All right, we're back! (Justin laughing) We're back in the seat, in the saddle. - We fixed it! - You're welcome, Todd! - We fixed it! Todd came to my house. I have an uncle who works at Todd. He said, "Let me come fix it for you" and he did, he installed a few modifications to Garfield and we're gonna experience them altogether. Justin, great news. I've already played the first ho
ur of the game. - [Justin] I sent the clapping emoji in Skype. Can you see that? - I can't, but I appreciate-- - Just letting you know I did. - [Griffin] I hope you're clapping for the fact that you do not have to watch the first hour of Starfield again. - [Justin] Oh, what a delight. - [Griffin] But you may be asking yourself, "But Griffin, how, but now what?" 'Cause you're already made your guy. His name's human, I guess, and he's just sort of a clean slate of a fellow. - Yeah, he's a regular
guy. - [Griffin] We're gonna hack today, so don't look if that stuff makes you nervous or if you are cyber cops. 'Cause we're going to show looks menu player one. (imitates explosion) Jacked in! - [Justin] Oh no, wow! - [Griffin] So now we just get to do it again. - [Justin] Oh, you can do it again. - So we'll do it again. - Now, are we just gonna make a new guy? - [Griffin] Yes, we will make the guy now and we won't have to watch him work a minimum wage job for 58 minutes. - What happens to Scu
zz Lightyear? - [Griffin] Scuzz Lightyear died. So yeah, good point, Justin. We did do this already once. - Okay, good. - [Griffin] We did do this already once and maybe someday that footage will see the public. Maybe folks will be, we'll release that, we'll crack open the Disney vault. But for now, we're coming in clean slate. - [Justin] Okay, so that's like a bonus. That's a bonus. We're gonna take Scuzz Lightyear out to the bone yard. - [Griffin] Yeah. I downloaded a few mods to give us a lit
tle bit of extra three-dimensional freedom. This is where the rubber hits the road. We got some extra sliders that were not here before. - Oh, fun! - That, with any luck, are really gonna let us get silly. Shape blends. I'm not sure what that means. We're peering into the uncanny valley. I don't know if we're quite in there yet, but those aren't eyes as I know them. - [Justin] Yeah, they're starting to retreat from oh! - [Griffin] Oh, there we go! Bazinga! - All right! - [Griffin] Ooh, Juice, my
heart is racing. I thought for sure that these sliders weren't gonna do anything funny. Whew, oh thank you God! - Thank God! Oh, wow, what a relief! - Thank Todd. - [Justin] What a relief. (both laughing) - [Griffin] Oh no! - [Justin] Both extremely good. (laughs) Okay, wait, can I say, I know the other ones are, like, wilder but there's something about. This looks like a "how to animate, how to do cartoons" for kids. Like, "You can make eyes communicate lots of different emotions like this!" -
[Griffin] Lots of cool, holy shit, Juice! (laughs) - [Justin] Okay. - This is good shit, man! - This is good. - [Griffin] Short eyes? - [Justin] Whoa, whoa! Now you can really see those orbs. Oh no. - Now you can-- - [Justin] Oh no. - [Griffin] Why is it asymmetrical? - [Justin] You lost the, this is a first. You lost the slider that ruined it. - [Griffin] What have I done? What have I done? - [Justin] They all look in the middle, eh? - [Griffin] Oh wait, okay, okay, okay. Okay, hold on, wait.
Now if we go back to what? Okay, so this is our house. This is our house where we live. Shit yes, yes, fuck yeah! - Yeah, yeah! (Griffin imitate robot) - [Justin] No, I like, like Tim Burton. I like big eyes. Yeah! - Like that? That's cool! - Yeah, that's cool! - [Griffin] He actually, he looks cool now. - [Justin] That's cool. Okay, Griffin, now that I know that you can do the size, can you make the eyes look not wild so it's like a Kewpie doll? Like, can we get big eyes, but just like-- - [Gri
ffin] Juice, I don't know what I've done to these eyes that you would consider the wild component of it. - [Justin] No, like the angle of the eyes. If they could be, like, dead on and wide open. Like I want, like, I feel like we could get some, okay, see, this is good, this is good. And now kinda, like. See he's getting cuter. Do you see how cute he's getting? - He is a cutie. Yeah, he's for sure a cutie. - [Justin] I, can I just say, Griffin? The eyes are looking very moist. Like, he's not appr
eciating what's happening. - They do look super, duper, duper wet. - [Justin] Right? They look really wet. - [Griffin] Like we've just caught him crying. - [Justin] Now see you did something in the last 30 seconds and I've been looking right at it and I don't know what it is exactly, but something in the last 30 seconds sent it. See, we got the ocular flap again. - That's okay, that's cool. - The ridge, okay, that's cool. - When you wear a spacesuit for so long, Juice, the spacesuit, like, reall
y squishes your, well, from behind, it's, okay. - [Justin] From behind the flap is a-- - It's not pleasant, yeah. - [Justin] Yeah, yeah. But it's his flap. Good for him. - It's his flap. Uh, eyebrows. - [Justin] Yeah, we need, these eyes? They demand a brow. - [Griffin] I like a asymmetrical brow. That's a cool look. - That's cool, the cut in? That's cool. - [Griffin] Juice, can I say, we've been making a lot of fuckin' babies lately and maybe we make, like, a badass again. 'Cause some of our mo
st important characters are the badass boys. - Whoa, you say, wait, give me some examples of recent babies. - [Griffin] Like, yeah, we make, like, innocent, sad men for the most part, I feel like, on Monster Factory. - [Justin] So you're looking for, you want a wickedness. - [Griffin] I want a dark wickedness. - [Justin] That's what people turn to Monster Factory, to have to confront the dark recesses of the human psyche. - [Griffin] Yeah. Yeah, we're huge into that. Look at this stinker. Fuckin
g rules! - Yeah! - [Griffin] He already kicks ass, man. - [Justin] Now are you rethinking the eyes, maybe? Like he's the-- - No, not even a little bit at all. - Okay, good, okay. I just wanna-- - 'Cause if the villain is sexy, Juice, if the villain is sexy, people go crazy for that shit. In the, you know, stories we are used to, the bad guy's, like, an evil, twisted up rat. - [Justin] But you are having the courage to say, "Not so fast." - [Griffin] Yeah, instead of him being a twisted up rat, y
ou look at him and he's dangerous, but in a way that you'd love to bed. - [Justin] Oh, that's cool. - That's cool. - That's someone who means business. - [Griffin] Yeah. He looks like a tooth. (laughs) - [Justin] Yeah! - [Griffin] He looks like a bottom molar. What if he is a settler from the Bicuspis star system and he's here to teach kids about-- - We've never made a tooth! - [Griffin] Teach kids about tooth decay. - [Justin] Thank goodness we have an intergalactic mascot for decay prevention,
for cavity fighting. - [Griffin] Yeah, now which one sort of enhances his toothiness? - [Justin] Straight up and down is like... That feels more toothy to me, Toothsome. - Okay, cool. See, I'm wondering, Juice, if we wanna make him the noble tooth alien warrior, the nose isn't, that's not what a tooth, that's not the shape a tooth casts. - We have to eradicate the nose. - [Griffin] I think we might need to destroy the nose. - [Justin] All right then. I wanted to to do this. - A lot of work, lot
of work going right down the toilet. - [Justin] I wish, we wasted so much time on a nose we didn't need. Go away nose. We don't want you here. - [Griffin] Go away, you smelly nose. (Justin laughs) Wait, hold on. - [Justin] This is making the nose more of a topic of conversation. I feel like some of your choices here are gonna make the nose really pop. - [Griffin] Yeah, yeah. - [Justin] Yeah, the physics of the nose are gonna be challenging to people. It's just, it's pulling focus. - [Griffin] I
t did. It is geneticular, I feel like, to some who see it like a slight kind of, like, Georgia O'Keeffe sort of realness there. - Yeah, we love that. - [Griffin] We love that, yeah. The bottom of the nose part I wish was gone. 'cause then he would just look like a wise owl. - [Justin] I think we just gotta live with the nose we have. I mean, I don't like it either, but maybe we'll learn to love it as we go forward. - I mean, if I can, I would-- - I do think, though, if you could get rid of the c
entral ridge, it would be less of a challenge. Okay, you've gone a little haywire. (both laughing) Are you feeling the same way about ears? Are you feeling like we need to banish ears? - [Griffin] I don't think they're gonna give us a lot of ear stuff. - [Justin] (snorts) Not unless you pay extra. (Griffin grunts) - Aw, come back! All right, teeth. Refine. Wait, no, chin. - Chin. - [Griffin] That's cool, yeah. - [Justin] It's kind of, maybe that, too, it's like-- - [Griffin] That's hardened, for
sure. - [Justin] It is. That looks like a calcification of teeth, yes, yes, good. - [Griffin] Okay. - [Justin] Oh, that's looking good. Oh, what? - Oh that's looking real good. - Whoa! - Yeah that looks pretty good. - [Justin] All right, now I'm feeling like it's a tooth. - [Griffin] Yeah, that's good. That kinda, I don't know what the bottom of my teeth look like 'cause I don't really get down there a whole lot, but I bet it's something like that. - Yeah, that's, yeah! - That's good. - [Justin
] That's like go the bottom of the uh-oh, uh-oh! - Nope, nope, yep, nope! - Yep, there we go, there we go. - There we go, cool! - [Justin] Sorry, team, nothing to see here. - [Griffin] This is one of the cooler guys we've had in a while, Juice. - This guy's cool, man. I like this guy. - This guy's rad. Is it weird that I kinda like the middle of these better than? - [Justin] I mean, it's 2024. If you wanna have a middle slider, I think that that's fine. - [Griffin] It just seems the best option.
- [Justin] It does, it looks good. It looks good. - [Griffin] What the mouth do though? - That is good. - That's strong! - [Justin] Yeah, that's super strong. I bet you can make that vamoose in a major way. - [Griffin] Oh, shit, Juice. We've been thinking of the Bicuspis as a friendly sort of species that comes from the stars to help you with your, but this guy looks not. - [Justin] This guy looks, this guy means freaking business. - [Griffin] The chin's turned on me. - [Justin] Oh, it's not si
tting well anymore. Is it the asymmetrical nature? Maybe just like a strong bottom. Like, that's what you're thinking with teeth. It's not about the bottom. - A long, strong bottom. - [Justin] Nobody cares what the bottom of a tooth looks like. See, that's powerful. - [Griffin] Neck? - [Justin] Why would-- - [Griffin] Why is there different necks? - [Justin] Oh man, that's cool. Look at that. That's roots. - Yeah, that's pretty cool. Wattle in or wattle out? - [Justin] Wattle out? Yeah. - [Griff
in] Monster Factory is a pretty chill series to wattle out to. Jewelry? Oh, that's cute! Oh yeah, that's kinda alt. - It's just feeling his sexy. I love it. Living his life. He's never too old. Ooh, oh, oh man! - All right. - I kinda like the, like, that's cool, isn't it? - [Griffin] Can I say my issue though, Juice? - [Justin] What? - [Griffin] I don't think any proud Bicuspis would want holes put in them. - Right, okay, yeah. - Like, frivolously. - [Justin] Yeah, you're probably right about th
at. - But he can be kind of a bad boy. Maybe he has one hole. This is my one hole. - Okay, I like it. - He's been exiled from the Bicuspis because he got a hole. He got his nose pierced on spring break. - [Justin] Okay, I like that. - [Griffin] Dermaesthetic. - [Justin] Oh, like the skin texture? Cool! - [Griffin] All right, tooth, tooth, tooth, tooth. Tooth, tooth. - You're going so fast, there's no way we'll find tooth. I like the, like, the, like one of those, like that, where it's just, like
, adding some texture to it. I feel like with a real, like, when we make him white, like a tooth, like real pearlescent. I feel like, ew, no, too much. I like that, actually. - [Griffin] I do too, yeah. Complexion color temp. - Now wait, don't go too far down this list because you're, we didn't hit mouth and teeth and jaw. - Oh, you're right, you're right! - Mouth and teeth and jaw. - [Griffin] Scale way up. - [Justin] Way up. - Underbite, overbite? - Check. - [Griffin] Give me both. Make them b
oth come out. - Combo! That feels like the teeth are trying to escape. I love that. (Justin groans) (both laughing) - Why is he sad again? - Poor guy! - [Griffin] He's got happy eyes. - [Justin] He's not sad. I feel like he's pouting. - Aw, shit. Not anymore! - Like, kind of a sexy pout. - [Griffin] What if he's just pretty happy all the time? (both laughing) Shit, dude, okay, I gotta see the teeth on the-- (both laughing) - [Justin] Perfect, perfect. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Perfect! It's
weird that the teeth aren't gonna take any notes from the lips. - No! - [Justin] They didn't even look at the lips' paper to see what they were maybe doing. - [Griffin] I would love to see if we could see both the teeth-- - Oh, that's better. I like that better, so much better, Griffin. - [Griffin] You do? - [Justin] Kinda yeah. - [Griffin] I would love to be able to see both of them. I don't know what we've done-- - Maybe a balance, yeah. - [Griffin] Okay, but can we still get teeth? (laughs) -
[Justin] Well, I guess, I mean, presumably there's teeth. - [Griffin] No, they're in there somewhere, Juice. - Can you get in there, Griff? - [Griffin] I don't think we can. I wonder if we adjust dermaesthetic again. - [Justin] I'm actually starting to feel like we want smoothness. - [Griffin] We want smoothness? - [Justin] I feel like maybe we do, I-- (laughs) - Should this-- - He's our bad boy tooth. - [Griffin] That's cool, too. Yeah, I mean, he got his fuckin' nose pierced against the elder
tooth's, against the the wisdom teeth, their wishes. - (laughs) The wisdom teeth! It's possible that they don't have teeth and that's why they take tooth care so seriously. - [Griffin] It would be fucked up, actually, if they had teeth. - [Justin] Yeah, it's weirder if they have teeth because they're like, "You don't even appreciate it. You have teeth. Don't you know how kickass that is? Don't you know what I would do for teeth?" - [Griffin] "I would do anything for teeth." Tooth check. - [Just
in] No teeth yet. Good, perfect, good. Staying on task. (both laughing) - Fuck yes! - This is within spec. No teeth here! - [Griffin] Scars. Shit, he does look cool, though! It's a bad boy tooth! (laughs) - [Justin] Oh, oh man! That mustache, that top mustache is excellent. God, that's cool, too. - [Griffin] That looks so fuckin' cool, man. - [Justin] Griffin, if we're not going with teeth, the size of the mouth is starting to distract me. Oh man, but that's cool. - [Griffin] That looks cool. I
don't know why you don't like that. - No, I like it a lot, man. - I don't know why you're working against me and the audience and not liking that. - That's actually so cool. - [Griffin] That's so fuckin' cool, man. - God, this guy rules! No, I want the other one. I like, it's too exciting. I want that, like-- - Again, you don't like a more subtle dusting? - [Justin] No, I want that fuckin' Rutherford B. Hayes nonsense. There we go! Yeah, man. I want someone who looks like it took a half hour to
take his picture. Maybe he's a wisdom tooth-- - Maybe he is the, yes. - But, like, broke free, like he realized that, like, the teachings were not, like, cool ones. That's, Griffin, can I say? That kicks ass. - [Griffin] This is the wisdom too. - [Justin] That looks so cool. - [Griffin] That looks actually really fuckin' sick. - [Justin] Here's the thing, Griffin. - [Griffin] Mhm? - [Justin] I was wrong about the facial hair. It's so good. - It's the story. It's the story of the guy. - That it m
akes the story and you lose the story of him being a tooth. - [Griffin] Yeah. - Yeah, sorry, I am sorry. - I'm glad, no! - [Justin] I'm sorry, I'm sorry. - [Griffin] I'm glad that, what did we do to his poor lips? Hold on one moment. I think I gave him a lipstick base that is not flattering. The hair on the lips isn't good. - [Justin] It's bad to me, yeah, it's bad to me. - [Griffin] It's bad on me. - [Justin] It's bad on him, it's bad to me. It feels bad to me. - [Griffin] It's bad with us. - [
Justin] It's bad at us. That's okay. That's a little bit of hair on the top. (both laughing) - Sometimes. - Yes, sometimes it goes like that. Now we can adjust the body a little bit more. - [Justin] Okay. Oh, I really like the thin, I think the really angular makes the head really pop. - Makes it pop. Yeah, I agree. What's his background? What are we working with here? - [Justin] File not found. - [Griffin] File not found. Yeah, okay. We can get rid of some of these. Unless, do we want the guy--
- I mean alien DNA is a slam dunk. - Is a slam dunk, yeah. - [Justin] We are an alien species, that's 100%. - [Griffin] Okay. - [Justin] They're worshiped, I don't think it's funny. It might be funny to have parents, I don't know. - [Griffin] I would love to see what my parents look like. - [Justin] Okay. - [Griffin] And then wanted. - [Justin] Mm, wanted's boring. I mean, the whole game's boring, I can't-- (both laughing) Realize I can't limit it like that. What's serpents embrace out of curio
sity. - [Griffin] Grew up worshiping the great serpent. That's the tongue. The Bicuspis people call the tongue The Great Serpent. - [Justin] Oh, okay, good! - [Griffin] Wouldn't you? - [Justin] I would, absolutely. - [Griffin] All right, we need a name. - [Justin] The Wisdom Tooth? - [Griffin] The Wisdom Tooth is a title. - [Justin] Okay. - [Griffin] I mean, Mole, Mole, Molar? - Molar with two R's is kinda cool. (laughs) - [Griffin] Well, let's just do this. We'll take the word molar so we know
it's the root and then we can just sorta change it one thing at a time. - [Justin] Molar System? - [Griffin] Nah. - [Justin] No, I didn't think so either. Sorry, my kid said that. - Molar-- - Mike? - [Griffin] Molar Mike. (both laughing) - [Justin] Hey kids! It's me! Yeah. - Shit! - Cowards! Cut the comma. Make "the" a "da". We're good! (laughs) Toot! (laughs) Alright, Todd, you're the boss! (both laughing) No, okay, Griffin, get rid of the da make it a "a". - [Griffin] No, I think it's just Mol
ar Mike da Wisdom Toot. (both laughing) - [Justin] Okay, it's Molar Mike da Wisdom Toot! Welcome to Earth! No, wait, Jemison, my bad. - [Griffin] All right, let, I, fuck. Now we have to play Starfield. All right, I downloaded a bunch of mods and a lot of them probably didn't work. That one did. (both laughing) Oh my God. - [Justin] What did you choose, Griffin? - I fucked up! - Did you choose the floor, Griff? - I fucked up. - [Justin] Did you maybe choose the floor? Guys, you're gonna love this
. Welcome to existence! You're gonna love it. - [Griffin] I have gone ahead and I have made a worthy steed. - [Justin] Did you, like, give it all the latest weapons? - I mean-- - Or were you more, was this more of an aesthetic sort of project? - [Griffin] I mean, it was largely aesthetic-led. I got a lot of haters. (laughs) - [Justin] Yeah, the whole galaxy is fucking pissed, Griffin! - [Griffin] We're in the ship, fuck! (Justin guffawing) Wait, where's mine? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

At last, we are once again allowed to ask: β€œI wonder what Todd’s boys are up to?”

@andrewwdavvid

There’s always enough time between episodes that it’s almost always appropriate to say WE’RE SO BACK

@zorakzokstone7157

Fungalore heard my wish.

@drewbabe

"I have an uncle who works at Todd" is one of the funniest jokes Griffin has ever told

@Liv69696

Oh my fucking god WE'RE BACK!

@AntheanCeilliers

A soul still burns.

@beafbuger

the naming of the wisdom toot made me cry real salty tears

@loreleimarivaine6241

I watched a bunch of Monster Factory yesterday, so I’m excited for this. Also, at no point should a character creation be called β€œtoothsome” which doubles my excitement for this

@Emily-oq1ey

And when the world (me) needed them most.. they returned

@Lore_Librarian

I will never forgive you for discarding the big beautiful beard, that shit was perfect

@TheJeffrum

Every day MF comes out is the best day of the year. It’s like a birthday, both in frequency and in hype.

@Gildedpossum

Monster factory is at its best when by the end the boys have created the most buckwild lore to justify their sins

@psychotripnerdstuff

I swear to Fungalore I angrily shouted the word "TODD" so many times while playing Starfield just like Griffin always does XD

@FaeQueenCory

"Aw fuck now we have to play Starfield." That should be embossed on the box.

@nunyabidnis7111

I'd just dipped into the well of old Monster Factory vids the other day, bless these boys. 😭 Sudden uploads are such a joy, like gifts without an occasion.

@demndays

that sneak peek at the start sent actual fear through my body, good golly

@andrejwalilko634

this is where the rubber hits the face

@unofficialbridge

felt the Todd Howard’s siren call and so it feels right to say HELL YEAH WE’RE BACK BOYS
