Animal Farm Feeding Frenzy, inspired by George Orwell and written by Patricia Miller and
Company. Episode three, Four legs good, two legs bad. We got
corporate freaking out, mutual aid, free school, and a kick ass flag.
What's not to love? More goats, Long live the Animal farm Autonomous
Zone. Feast your eyes, my sheep. Comrades are great. Construction is
ahead of targets. Citizen Boxer, you are the admiration of everyone. When
you work. It seems you are more like three horses than one. Boxer
gets up half an hour before the cockrel. I worry for him sometimes,
squealer, Hush now it's our farm, now, Clover. I can always
work harder. That's the way I like it. I can always work harder.
He truly inspires me. Everyone is working so hard these days, and
yet it's almost fun. No one is shirking anymore, No one other than
Molly here. She never was much use fancy show pony? Oh yeah,
and what use is an old goat? And old Benji here complaining ass obstinate
as ever, I see no reason to change my ways. Rebellion or no
rebellion, donkeys live a long time. None of yous has ever seen a
dead donkey e Hall something to look forward to write Bessie Mike cow Bell?
So many olds these days boring? Yes, well, now I hear the
reading and writing classes are a great success. How is team Hoof getting along?
I fall asleep in class, sir. It's the hours, you see.
Letter learning is not for hoofs Hey. I can spell, I can
write, she can sleep and she can spell sleep spell. Excellent news,
My dear Molly, let us see your letter work. I will now demonstrate
my writing. I will now spell out my alphabet with my right hoof m

What's the point of other letters? M O L L I E. Excellent
question. Let me sleep on that he can sleep and she can spell sleeper
spell Yes, and thank you. Now, boxer, you take the lead,
You lead the way, and teach our sheep old friends the full alphabet.
Teach the alphabet me yes. Yes, you are an inspiration in the
field, and now you are the teacher in the classroom. Let us begin
with the letter A, A E, B C D A B C D
yes and yes and snowballs. Committees have been hard at work for quite a
few months, you know. Don't be shy now, time to shine a
B C D. What comes next? I know it? Wait, I
do know it. You have this, Boxer, it's right in here.
I know I learned it. I ladies, that's enough, each one according
to their ability. Boxer, take it slow. I'm sorry, Clover,
I'm sorry, squealer. I'm ashamed. It's gone. I must work harder.
Yes, yes, let us sing our our new song about animalism.
Do you remember now? How does it go? Four legs good, two
legs bad, four legs good, two legs bad, very very good.
Don't worry, my friend, Boxer, you have your uses. Don't worry
at all. Yes, yes, pigeons, pigeons or scouts. They're saying.
They're saying guns, trucks, Jones, Hookington, the men. The
men are on their way again. They have a gun. Squealer, run,
tell Snowball, Tell Napoleon, tell them exactly what you heard. Go
or legs good, two legs back? No, not no, damn you
Everyone be ready. An attack is coming. Man is coming. Here we
go, lambs to the slaughter. I knew it. Shut up, Benjamin
not now, not your sarcasm. Now she's terrified and I'm scared too,
Benji. They have guns, a comrades, Snowball, Boxer, we need
you at the gates, and you and you at the yard. Everyone else
to the cowshed. Lie and wait. We will lure them in. Have
no fear, Comrades. We have planned and rehearsed this. We know what
to do. This is our finest hour. Come on, box with my
friend. Where are my cows? Where do they go? I don't remember,
I don't remember anything. Yes you do. Snowball has a plan.
See over there, Boxer is helping him. They go to the gates,
We go to the cow shed. Everyone is going to be all right.
You're going to be all right, Bessie, I promise you. Bessie Back
for more Animal Farm. I'm checking in with more on how this revolutionary project
is making it through the winter. After their huge win over Jones at the
cowshed, Big media has been keeping since the battle. I guess they can't
spend Animal Farm being a disaster. When they kick Joneses and his goons out
twice? What happened to the milk and apples? Comrade squealer. We have
been working tirelessly these pats months on short rations. The apple harvest is early
this year. And as head of the Food and Storage Committee and behalf of
the subcommittee for wild animals who rely on the windfall, may politely inquire what
is happening to the apples and the milk? Murial, don't forget to ask
about the milk The pigs habit somewhere comrades, you do not imagine. I
hope that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege.
Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our
sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples,
this has been proven by science. Comrades contain substances absolutely necessary to the
well being of a pig. We pig, our brain workers, the whole
management and organization of this farm depend on us day and night. We are
watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink that milk
and apples. Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our
duty? Do you Farmer Jones would come back? Yes, Jones would come
back, surely, comrades. Surely there is no one among you who wants
to see Jones come back. Never Never, we humbly apologize OI back to
work. Only work will make us free. Oh I hear ruckus coming from
the workshed. Please excuse me, Napoleon. Why can you not see how
these plans I am working so hard on are the future. Animals cannot eat
plans. We need to be planting barley and training an army, not tinkering
with wind meals and turbines. This is an unintelligible mess of cranks and cogs.
This is ego, snowball, This is science, Napoleon, I have
been studying Jones's books. A windmill will ensure a bright future for everyone.
Grandiose and impractical like you, pompous intellectual I make things work around here while
you stuff apples and milk into your overfed snout. Comrades, Comrades, This
endless bickering has to end, you Minimus, All you young pigs get out
now shut the squeal squealer. Wait, are you really such a pig headed
prize bore or are you just a prize ass snowball? I'm a big a
few words, so let me leave, my comment here in the language you
can understand. Ah, I piss on your future. I rest my case.
Tonight we vote squealer to the meeting. Now, Molly, before we
attend this meeting, I have something very serious to say to you. This
morning, I saw you looking over the hedge that devised us from Pilkington's farm.
A fat, red faced man in check breeches and gaiters was standing on
the other side of the hedge. And I was a long way away,
but I'm almost certain I saw this. He was talking to you, and
you were allowing him to stroke your nose, and I thought, I saw,
sugar. What does that mean, Mollie. He didn't. I wasn't.
It isn't true. Molly, look me in the face. Do you
give me your word of honor that that man was not stroking your nose?
It isn't true. I took no gifts. Then what are these my ribbons?
Hi? Guys, your favorite influencers here, KK and Ki Ki lie
from outside Animal Farm and we have the tea. The gossip is real.
Molly left the farm hashtag girl boss. She finally left that toxic environment.
Yes, they were gatekeeping her from her true self. She looks so cute
with those ribbons, so vintage, like she should wear whatever she wants,
like I'm wearing this leather jacket, which, by the way, you can
get it with the link in my bio and get free shipping with my code
free Molly Gorge and the pigs are like totally canceled. Go Mollie. That
is so Sagittarius energy. OMG, you are right. She toats gives me
main character vibes. Yeah, but the smell here is not giving me the
vibes. Thanks for joining us, guys, and check out our new YouTube
