My Discord has too much power because What the Hell was this??

I am so, so confused and just, you people knew what I was getting into here. Which I mean, fair, granted, I would so the same too, but the dedication to the weirdness is what kills me.

This is just an hour long youtube satire video dedicated to why this ONE specific Garfield strip is the ultimate symbol of art on God’s Green Earth. And I fullheartedly believe this is satire, because 1) it is too weird and exaggerated to be real and 2) I fear for the world if this guy is serious, so for the sake of humanity he is not real.

The dedication to this, the effort put into what amounts to be a tumblr conspiracy thesis, it is awe inspiring really. This guy never cuts away, never takes a break, never flinches. It is done ALL in one take. Can you imagine trying to talk bullshit for an hour and someone not stutter or flinch or anything?? God I hope this guy was reading off of a teleprompter because if he had to memorize this entire thing that would be insane. Not to mention the background effects and editing of side cameras and comic edits. I can’t imagine how long THAT took on top of the ONE HOUR TAKE!

Then there is the crap that he was actually saying. When I was listening...I was sort of following it at the beginning. I at least got it was satire right off the bat so I was proud of me. But then he lost me. It was like a tidal wave of words washing over me only to recede to the surf before the next wave hit. I wasn’t watching as much as listing to his monotone explaining why The Pipe Strip was the best thing since slice bread. I don’t think I can even remember all the points he went over. Color Blindness, passive vs active aggression, comic structure, the devil (I think) were just some of the things he went over. And even then that barely covers anything of what this video was.

Overall: if you like weird shit, this is weird shit. Weird Shit dressed in a trench coat having fun making pretending to be professional. Will probably never watch it again, but it exists in the world. I have to give him props for that.

I love youtube channels that are more like art projects than centered around a person/group. its nice to see something a little more contained to a concept, in a world where everyone is selling themselves as a personality, acting like their audience is in on their everyday life and follows them through the years, where their content shifts become their life story as everything must be connected and findable through the persona 

on twitter and tumblr or even modding a subreddit theres a lot of accounts and entities that are dedicated to a specific gimmick (and thats still neat to think someone can have 15 minutes of fame through that and not really put it under any personal brand, not ride on it when they want to do something new), but the higher effort form of youtube feels kinda more mysterious when it happens. 

lots of channels got famous for 1 specific format people come to expect from them, but even if they want to do something different, they have to keep the established audience comfortable, leading to content that they aren’t passionate about AND which is just kind of passable. but channels that know when they have completed everything their concept can contribute to the world, I respect that. specifically I have alantutorial and lasagnacat in mind, their creators all went on to do stuff with adult swim but were iconic channels, and fittingly they are both kind of About this kind of effect in making art.

this can kinda dip into sounding like "do more of the same here, I dont like new thing", anti cancel culture "why are you judging them based on what they use to do, they are completely new now" since filthy frank is trying to do this, and marketplace of ideas laissez faire about the "merit" of content. but I just wish we would stop making people celebrities that have to Going. but either way its still interesting to follow how someone’s work changes
