Nod

Trigger warning!: This is about that time you were at that place and you were pretty sure everybody wondered if you were actually invited to be in that place and the whole time you felt like everybody hated you and you still can’t confirm that they didn’t. Enjoy!

Clap

The entire Grownups Are Lucky content production team dug down deep to put together several minutes of wildly unnecessary verbage.

Apr 20, 20215 minSeason 4Ep. 9

Urinate

We’re still at it. And we still have no idea what it is. But also it is you, listening, and then saying to yourself, “They are still at it, and I have no idea what it is.”

Patch

This week’s story can’t be bothered. If you want this thing in your living room you’re going to have to do the heavy lifting yourself.

Trim

When you find yourself asking yourself, “what is the worst that can happen?” the answer is probably lots of terrible things.

Count

Some people go places and then things happen to them and those things are bad for them, but not necessarily bad for their predators.

Fart

All the elves are on furlough, so this is the best we could come up with, and let’s be honest, it’s a disappointment, but you’re used to that by now.

Dec 12, 20206 minSeason 3Ep. 36

Obey

Here is a story about a depressing sounding place where a kid is asking questions and his stuffed friends are doing their best to give some sound advice.

Dec 02, 20205 minSeason 3Ep. 35

Toss

Oh man, maybe things are getting better, but are they not also getting worse? Mathematically speaking, really bad + fucking horrifying + inhuman - a few bad people perhaps temporarily = still very bad.

Nov 24, 20204 minSeason 3Ep. 34

Pump

A shallow dive into a divided America.

Frown

Dumb stuff blurs along in shapes and sounds you reassemble in your imagination because it’s a gift your brain gave you, and because you’re bored, and secretly anxious and fed up and scared and tired and nearly deceased. Enjoy!

Sep 21, 20205 minSeason 3Ep. 29

Fool

It’s so hard to buy things and feel like a winner when buying things makes you feel like a loser.

Sep 06, 20205 minSeason 3Ep. 28

Survive

The new normal is still the old normal which under normal circumstances will probably end in our extinction. But think of the clearance sales!

Aug 26, 20204 minSeason 3Ep. 27

Chill

Are we still doing this? What is this? When is tomorrow? Who ordered this pizza?

Aug 11, 20204 minSeason 3Ep. 26

Dunk

If you are giving a gift it is a good idea to brand it with an identifying mark in case somebody tries to steal it and later on you run into the thief in another time zone.

If fans could talk, they’d be all, “What’s with all the shit?”
