Ohhh was that Jon's office i wonder

This is one of my favorite Protocol episodes so far. Mr Bonzo is /such/ a silly monster, but the frantic music and excellent voice acting really sells him as disturbing and physically dangerous

Frankie Frankenstein

I think it says a lot about how well put together this show is that I only stopped to think ‘wait, what was recording this’ when they began to move away from the tape recorder. Also: woodworm, huh? Probably best they didn’t sit down after all.

Katie Hopkins

My own personal theory is that the errors are related to the meta of the show itself. Like a post-release ARG extension. I think every episode has had at least a few mistakes in transcript or title on release. I haven’t categorized it all yet though.

Gremlyn

"His teeth are not soft" 😱 The context was slightly less gruesome than I imagined, but still horrifying enough 😆

transvamp

THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES MUSIC. COMING FROM THE TRAPDOOR!!!!

transvamp

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

samu3lk

Dunno if the comments section is the right place for theorycrafting, but I'm thinking there's something really weird about this Bonzo guy...

Anti

NAH MY EXACT REACTION

Maurissa

There appears to be a lot of spelling errors in this transcription?

jane cowie

with us hearing from a tape recorder again i'd place my bets on [Error] being this world's archivist or a similar role

MuddyHippy

Because Mr Blobby needed to be MORE FUCKING HORRIFYING?!?! Ahem. Bravo once again Magnus Gang, this is devastatingly awful, keep up the outstanding work! 😁

jem

hahahhahaha what the fuck

Grae Rose

The transcript is attached at the bottom of the show notes. It won't be in the public folder until the public episode drops.

Waffles ?

Is anyone else seeing the parallel between Mr.Bonzo and Jared Hopsworth? They’re both being sent people to kill! Not only that but a parallel between Orsinov and Bonzo too. The only difference is Orsinov killed their creator and Bonzo is keeping them captive.

Ariane Signalis is the Elster Signalis Fan Club and challenges you to play SIGNALIS without pointing at any of the characters an

Now I'm just thinking of the next Hitman game starring Bonzo

James Rule

AhhhhHahahaha!

Kae

I…. I need to process this….

Fae

I see Jonny was also subjected to a lot of Noel’s House Party growing up. I had to give my Italian partner a rundown on that icon of British millennial childhood so he could properly appreciate how great this episode was.

Ambrose, First And Last

I'm cackling at "CAN HE READ!?😰"

Cas D

*Screaming crying throwing up all at once* WHAT IS HAPPENING?! First Colin is back being all secretive, Gwen unleashing Bonzo on who knows what, & then someone returning (Jon, Martin, Elias? Someone else?) Y'all really gonna kill us with these back to back cliff hangers! 😱👀☠️ Also idk if it's just me but I found it really hard to understand the Mr. Bonzo sounds particularly his name, so had to rely on transcript to actually know what was said. so idk if any cleaning of audio can be done?

Ambrose, First And Last

IS THAT MISTER FUCKING BLOBBY?????

Ian

I... but... wait... we have to WAIT now?! Bravo!

ChyouX

I'm sorry, 'and [ERROR] emerges'??? You can't hiatus on that 👁️👄👁️

Spooknett

poor gwen 😭 she sounded horrified. bless her. can't imagine how her next convo with lena is gonna go

Křeček Tinková

I am just now finally starting to process everything that happened in this episode and I might be going slightly insane. No idea how I'm supposed to survive a whole month!

Reynard Du Maurier

Oh, the one where Lucia visits an old temple, find it disappointingly empty, tries to walk away but sh*t happens?? lol I don’t see the connection/ jkjk

ShinyPenUnlimited

return of the tapes!

BuriedInTheArchives

WORM WIFE

Rebecca F

incredible introduction for mr. bonzo, who i knew was going to haunt my nightmares but here is he, absolutely winning at it. im also currently losing my shit over the last, ah, five minutes? 30 seconds? I'll be listening with waveform up until it's that time again

The Collector

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD SCREAMING AND GNAWING AT THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE OVER THIS ONE also doesn’t beth eyre play lucia write in mag 130?? i might be mistaken

Jenni Lee

...Wow. This scared me a bit. And I do not scare easily. Well done! Looking forward to hearing more about Mr Bonzo.

Abby-May Burkin

Holy Clown! Such an amazing episode 😫😫😫

Quizzy1313

ALEXANDER J NEWELL YOU CANT LEAVE US LIKE THIS! Omg I am SCREAMING

Wendy Reed

Well this was a fabulous birthday gift; thanks to the team for a great 10 episodes. Y'all are amazing

Reynard Du Maurier

Omg the “you just got berried” sounded “buried” I died for a second

Trisidael

I finally have a moment to listen to the episode, and HOLY SHIT!!!!! I need to take the time, later, to form a more detailed comment, because I already have SO MANY THOUGHTS!!! 🤯

Boss_Inosuke

WE ARE MAGNUSING THIS PROTOCOL IMMEDIATELY (but not until April 9th :3)

Jonathan C Bell

I have lost the ability to form a coherent thought. Currently my mind is screaming in an accumulation of equal parts fear and questioning. God this was brilliant!!

Zoëjo

TAPE RECORDERS AND THE VIOLIN MOTIF HAVE BEEN REACTIVATED??? WHAT???

Merlin3434

I think we just heard a snipet of season ones big bad

Josiah DeRosa

Took me too long to realize Celia was in Melanie and Georgie’s cult at the end of the Magnus Archives…

Grace and Rowan Yarger

The tape recorder at the end!

The existing Person

Beth Eyre (assuming that’s who it was) voiced the women in mag 130

orioreo

Going absolutely insane over this... This was so genuinely unsettling, I never felt genuinely creeped out listening to TMA. Amazing episode!!

MarlaBothBothIsGood

Yeah, he is indeed (Who I discovered thanks to some special episode of TMA, this podcast has never failed at the traumatising bit)

MarlaBothBothIsGood

It would be the ultimate crossover

MarlaBothBothIsGood

Mister Bonzo was EVERYTHING I have wished for and more Colin MVP being already in the strong paranoia track WORM TRACKS WORM TRACKS I AM YELLING Also, I am trying to decide what is funniest: Jon the Archie or Gertrude the Archie DOOR OPENING DOOR OPENING STARTS OF SOMETHING THAT COULD BE A LAUGH AH

esmeeeeeeee

CHRIST

Ooof_uhhh_haah

It’s meeeeeee, Bozo the Clown yaaaahahahhahahahhahaha!!

superandiness

I am currently BEGGING my friends to listen so I do not have to continue screaming into the void. Well done.

Nawal Fisher

Holy crap it’s getting going!! I wonder who Mr Bonzo is going to eat? And ahhhhhh the tape recorder!!!!! We now have a full month to overanalyze these ten episodes 😂

rowanoak

My favorite episode yet!!! Omg I love it so much. The nameplate for “Archi-“ can’t possibly be archivist, that would be - wait a tape click noise? OPE

Tyler H

Just starting and already scream g Bonzo! Bonzo!! Bonzo!!!

Heather Ferguson

Is Mr. Bonzo based on Mr. Blobby?

Sarcastix FoxDragon

Mr Bonzo!!!!

Lisette

Ohmygidohmygodohmygodddd

Bruna G

The Archives’ Theme at the end 😭

HemiDemi

How the fuck does a CLICK SOUND EFFECT have me going insane. Holy crap this is such a good episode

Thorn

Ok so the Buried and Stranger merged into a new power, the fear of being perceived and then trapped by the expectations of disembodied crowds. That's what connects a lot of these cases.

Nico DeStefano

his teeth indeed were not soft

mora!

oh my god it’s HIM?!!!

SqueakyBoo

I. Mr Bonzo was absolutely worth the wait. The Tape Recorder and considering who Beth Eyre was in TMA I am Excite for the Flesh??? Arc

candy

(rattling the bars of my cage) who's error?!?!? WHO IS ERROR?????

Patchrat

?! :?!!!?! !?!! AAAAAHHHHH

Ian Mak

I haven't even started but just reading the statement title and content warnings had me giggling in expectation. 😁

Haze Peers

OH MY GOD

astro

antigonne funn in the magnus institute ruins 😭😭

baeltedyret

That was profoundly terrifying. Well done.

Mother of Ferrets

Oh shiiii....... Also listening to the start think yup, that's exactly how 90s TV was 🤣

BuriedInTheArchives

The tapes are back and my heart is breaking 😭😭

Reynard Du Maurier

Well, we can all act surprised, but it was already clear that something is eating canaries in the mine…

FyreFlye23

What was Colin muttering there at the end? And the tape recorder makes an appearance!

Blue Cat

TAPE RECORDER!?!

Fynn

ahh that is so much content to make theories over I already have a quadrillion in mind :0

Ajax

Lottie Lynn

BETH EYRE??? AS [ERROR]??? WHO IS THAT

Tati

Ohhhh this was so fun.

Liddy

Somebody who knows how to do audio get on that whispering at the end PLEASE it's got to mean something

Ashes

"The trap door opens, the lock falling away and [ERROR] emerges and takes a shuddering breath.." Uhhhhh WHO'S [ERROR] PRECIOUS??

Anti

HOLY CRAP THERE'S NO WAY

Anti

DUDE

Bella Andersson

@ jack whitehall if you're here, i'm so sorry

tzigi

Given the fact that transcript says "[ERROR] emerges and takes a shuddering breath.. " and the credits feature "Beth Eyre as [Error]" I'd say not, it isn't Jon.

Matthew Mullins

Was the breathing sound Jon?

Willow Edwards

HIS TEETH ARE NOT SOFT :)

Mice and Moonbeams

Well Bonzo did not disappoint on the creep scale! Also that sound at the end.... THAT SOUND AT THE END!!!

DamianJ
