The McElroy Brothers Will Be In Trolls World Tour (originally named The McElroy Brothers Will Be In Trolls 2) was a podcast which documented the brothers' campaign to get cast in the animated feature film Trolls World Tour, co-produced by the McElroy Brothers and Big Giant Head LLC.

Justin originally hatched the idea when his sister-in-law Rileigh told him that the first Trolls movie featured several YouTubers in cameo roles, which he mentioned to his brothers in Episode 346. After a live show in Portland, Justin got his brothers high on marijuana edibles and roped them into his grand plan.

Roles

Ultimately, the brothers were cast in the following cameo roles:

Justin as Beat Drop Button

Justin as Tumbleweed

Travis as Hard Rock Tear

Griffin as Country Music Tear

All three as Skyscraper (a four-headed troll)

The McElroys receive a call from their representation, telling them that Dreamworks has offered them the following roles: Techno Beat Drop Button, Hard Rock Tear, and Country Music Tear.

The McElroys launch their new podcast within a podcast, The McElroy Brothers Will Appear on The Tonight Show on October 16, in an attempt to promote the movie and guarantee their spots.

The McElroys enlist the help of their cousin Kyle to create a moving, high touch, and easily consumable version of their story. Kyle does his best to navigate the muddy waters and tangled webs left in the brothers' wake by interviewing voice actors Flula Borg and Ron Funches, the brothers themselves, and their agent Joel. When Kyle and Joel fuck everything up, it's up to the brothers to fix things in a conference call with director Walt Dohrn and producer Gina Shay.
