Season Short Animations, Episode 1

Episode chronology
Thanks for 4 years! is a short video in which Pen thanks the viewers for their continued viewership with BF DI for 4 years.
The video starts with the same "Happy birthday, BFDI!" circling-around-the-cake animation used in Don't Lose Your Marbles and Get in the Van , but then Pen jumps out, stops the animation, and thanks to the viewers for watching BFDI for 4 years and all of the support. As Pen finishes his last line in the video, the Happy Birthday circle catches on fire and drops down onto Pen as the screen fades to black, showing a card that says "Thanks for 4 years". Snowball screaming can be heard as the video ends.
Trivia Even though BFDIA was still airing when this video was made, only the original BFDI cast (except for David and Announcer ) appeared in the circle around the cake.
This is the first video where the characters break the fourth wall, not counting the ending voting scene in all episodes .
This is the first video that features Pen with eyelashes and new mouth designs.
The ending with the wheel dropping down onto Pen is the only instance in which any object (not including Evil Leafy or any recommended character) has actual eyes (white eyes with irises).
In the end, Snowball very faintly says "Oh god my leg!".
This is supposedly Match's favorite video, as stated in "Thanks for 4 years of Thanks for 4 years! "
This is the first video made to celebrate BFDI's birthday, the second being “Thanks for 4 years of Thanks for 4 years! ”, and the third being “Happy Birthday, Battle for BFDI! ”
This is the jacknjellify's only video from 2014, and the channel's only video from "BFDI Livestream" in August 2013 to "2005" in January 2016. Gallery Thanks for 4 years!-0
