I wonder if The Story So Far knows how big of an impact this 50 second song actually had on the internet community

Mr Red

Team Fabulous 2 is the crowning achievement of GMoD animation, period. It's completely perfect, completely flawless, beautiful, funny, stupid and yet very wholesome. It will never be topped in its field and its unique charm and brand of humor, the liveliness of it is absolutely genius. I love it... and this song is pretty okay too.
