Plot[]

Have you ever felt like you were somewhere, where you didn't belong?
 

The BFDI and BFDIA contestants with arms (except Flower, David, and Dora) are standing in a clearing together. A red ball is thrown to Eraser and then it is tossed from one to another. Three more balls that are blue, green, and purple, are thrown into the crowd and the contestants also play with them. Golf Ball walks over and frowns because she can't bounce a ball. Then Ice Cube looks at Golf Ball and smiles before frowning at Golf Ball's expression and then looks at the contestants with arms playing with the balls. Michael's voiceover begins and talks about belonging. Spongy and Tennis Ball walk in, but then the scene is cut out and Michael Huang starts telling the details about VidCon in the Mix Restaurant in Anaheim, California.

Full instrumental[]

The full version of the song used in Ballers, known as Hoppie (or more specifically hoppie2.wav) can be heard here.

Notes:

  • Bold indicates one character catches three balls consecutively.
  • "hold ..." indicates the time a character attempt to throw the ball to him/herself (catch is counted as the first hold)

Trivia[]

  • Michael Huang confirmed in one of his videos in the channel fernozzle that the animation was done by coding.
  • Flower is the only BFDI/BFDIA character with arms to not be in the video.
    • David and Dora also have arms, but they are usually stationary.
  • The colors of the first three balls are the colors used for the team logos of the Squishy Cherries, Squashy Grapes, and Another Name, which are red, green, and blue, respectively. The reason for the purple ball is unknown.
  • Match has her first catch at the latest time out of anybody.
  • This is the first short to feature a large cast of characters.
  • Teardrop, Firey and Book are the three characters to catch three balls consecutively.
    • Coincidentally, they passed the blue ball to each other, as the order follows: Teardrop - Firey - Book.
    • Coincidentally, each of them are on the three teams in BFDIA (W.O.A.H. Bunch, Team No-Name, and FreeSmart respectively) and have all been on Team No-Name at one point.
  • The song is featured in various episodes of Battle for BFDI.
  • The title of the video has caused many people to associate the background music as "Ballers" when it's actually called "Hoppie".
  • Bomby's string actually moves this time, possibly to be more realistic.
  • Everytime a contestant catches a ball they blink.
  • Snowball catches the most amount of ball with 18 catches and Match catches the least at only 5.

Goofs[]

  • Firey's body is static.
  • Bomby's fuse sometimes spazzes out. This may likely be because his fuse uses ragdoll physics in the animation.
  • Golf Ball's right leg turns very thin for a frame.
