Bad workers always blame their tools. This idiom is shown perfectly in bwabtt by `bad-blood through humorous actions and smooth animation.

Description

Bad workers always blame their tools
"If somebody does a job badly or loses in a game and claims that they were let down by their equipment, you can use this to imply that this was not the case".

This is too true and funny, whenever there is something that needs repaired at the station, and whoever we call to fix it breaks it more, can't fix it, or really FOULS things up with us still trying to do some work it is NEVER THEIR FAULT. (Though I notice that they will blame anything they can, not just the tool.) This is also a good way to describe my DIY projects, in short, I don't do it myself anymore.
The fact that the animation is so fluid is great, it must have taken days to do it, plus the fact that it is so small must have made it even harder to do. Yet despite its size the faces are still clear and I can make out the expressions. What really sells it for me is the dialogue, it is exactly what I would expect them to say that to eachother, and that it is a perfect loop, I really can't tell where it begins and ends, though I think it is somewhere between the dialogue and the Pink Guy giving the Blue Guy the tool, yet there is no lag that I can detect. All in all an excellent job.
