This video explores how AI-generated content is being used to create engaging but potentially deceptive social media content, particularly through accounts that post absurd AI-generated images (such as Jesus made from vegetables or shrimp) to bait engagement through comments like 'amen.' The content raises important questions about the ethics of using AI to create fake testimonials, advertisements, and content that may mislead users, and discusses how platforms need to develop detection systems to identify AI-generated content. The video also examines the broader implications of AI interacting with other AI systems without human oversight, and how this could potentially make the internet unusable as bots interact with other bots.

3 Hours of Danny Gonzalez to Sleep To追加:
more productive when I'm working to just have everything in one neat, tidy place.
You also have the ability to take snapshots right within the app. You can add text, [music] add stickers, turn it into a silly meme or a YouTube thumbnail. Then you can send them to friends using messengers like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Telegram, which are also built right into the sidebar of the browser. If you're working on the go, as I often do with my trusty laptop, you can switch on the battery saver with just one click, extending your browsing time by up to an hour. So, if you want to check out Opera, it's totally free.
Just use the link in my description to download Opera today. Thanks to Opera for sponsoring this video, and thank you to you guys for checking out Opera.
Okay, like I was saying, the prompts just seem to keep getting longer and longer. It seems like one of the big tricks that these accounts use to get people to engage with them is by including Jesus or other Christianity symbols in their images. So, this account at first just posted Jesus in the sand. This guy sculpted this gigantic Jesus thing. Everybody thinks it's beautiful. The caption is, "Why don't pictures like this ever trend?"
Clearly baiting people to engage with it and like the picture. But then after San Jesus, I saw sand Jesus on a log. Then I saw sand Jesus on a log on a guy. Then I saw sand Jesus on a log on 20 guys. Is there an AI that is also coming up with the prompts in the first place? Cuz like who is coming up with these? These don't even seem like something a human being would come up with. Like in this one, why is San Jesus holding a smaller sand Jesus? And why is he on like a runaway log? Like this guy is like, "Oh no, my sand Jesus on a log with another sand Jesus. It's getting away." Say what you want, but this is definitely my favorite part of the Bible. Another interesting thing about these pictures are the comments. Like all of the comments on the vast majority of these images is just amen a no questions, no concerns, just amen a construction worker making Jesus using only a hammer. Amen.
There is an entire genre on Facebook of AI generated images of Jesus made out of vegetables and then show this [snorts] on the screen with like a scary sound effect. Dun and you'll never guess what the comments are on these images. You will not find a single comment questioning what is going on here. Has this always been a thing? I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before. No one's questioning why these kids hands are facing the wrong way.
Why, if he is made out of vegetables, are his eyes so blue and lifelike? And obviously, I'm not trying to make fun of Christianity at all here. If anything, I think these pictures are kind of disrespectful to Christianity cuz they're just like using these fake ridiculous images to bait people into engaging with their profile so that they make money. But you should already know by now, it gets worse. It gets way worse than vegetable Jesus, dude. You got crab Jesus. You got shrimp Jesus. And of course, you have another shrimp Jesus.
Amen. Amen. Amen. Who is this for? It's on like a legitimate Facebook account.
This account has 117,000 followers. Who is meant to appreciate this image? Christian Shrimp. Hey, man.
Shrimp's got to get to heaven, too. How else can they be saved from their shelfishness? [music] I'm convinced that there was not a human running this account at all. I think this account was conceived of, created, and is currently run by an AI. There was never a human involved. And not only that, I'm also starting to suspect that the comments are also bots. There is no other explanation for the amount of engagement on these pictures and like serious engagement. And also, all the comments are like saying the same things and they're all very generic. So, they it feels very bot-like. So, if that is true, then technology has created a corner of the internet where an AI is interacting with another AI and they both think the other one is a human.
Does that not just feel wrong? Like, I kind of feel like a third wheel just being on this page. Learning that AI interact with other AIs without humans watching at all feels like learning that like ghosts hunt other ghosts.
Thought they were here to scare us. What the hell? And of course, the caption of Shrimp Jesus is uh made it with my own hands. Do me a favor and destroy it with your own hands. How about that? Can you unmake it, please? Another popular thing for them to add into these images seems to be flight attendants. There was a lot of flight attendant ccentric AI generated images oftent times with Jesus as well. And I'm assuming that whatever this account started off posting was more tame than this. Like it kind of made sense. The caption is, "Beautiful cabin crew, Scarlett Johansson." So, I don't know if it had something to do with Scarlett Johansson on a flight or something, and then the AI just kept changing the prompt over and over until it was this. Here's another one with the exact same caption.
I like that a good amount of the comments on this one say, "Good luck."
Good luck. Amen. Good luck. Amen, man. I have uh I have no [ __ ] clue what's going on here, but good luck or congrats. I don't know, man. It's crazy how much these accounts post. If I just scroll through here, you can see these accounts post literally hundreds if not thousands of times a day. Just post after post of nonsensical images. What is this? What is this supposed to be?
And it's like, why do Do they make money from this? I've scrolled a lot through these types of pages and I've never seen like a sponsored post or anything. So, it's not like they're doing ads for companies using the following that they've built with these pages cuz like who would the ads even be targeted to?
Christian Shren. After doing some research, I found this video that this guy made called Make Money Posting AI Art on Facebook Using free tools where he basically explains that you can sign up for Facebook's monetization program.
And basically, you get paid kind of like on YouTube based on how many views your image gets. And I think on Facebook, it has something to do with how many likes.
So, some of these accounts might be making bank. Most people think that clickbait is some shady, taboo, weird kind of topic when in fact all it is is trying to get a click.
>> Yeah, guys, clickbait is not necessarily a bad thing, just as long as you're honest about what you're delivering.
Anyway, let's go ahead and learn how to trick people into believing that fake images are real. is utilizing good images, ad headlines, and articles to drive people to relevant content that actually does talk about what the image or ad said in the first place.
>> Yeah, but the if the image is not real, then doesn't that make it impossible to deliver on the promise? Now, this guy does go on to say later in the video that you should make it clear when things are AI or not real. But after finding a bunch of these accounts, it doesn't seem like anyone using this method actually does that. I haven't seen one single image that has been like, "By the way, this is AI and not real." So, just saying now. Trick jab.
Here's a different Facebook group that posts like beautiful mansions uh that all seem like they're AI generated. No disclosure anywhere that these images aren't real. Like being in a coffee mug.
Love it. Huh? Yeah, there is something about this image that just looks like being in a coffee mug. Very insightful.
Thank you. Either way, if this keeps up and this type of AI content invades all the other parts of the internet, it is just going to become completely unusable. I think Facebook and like every other social media platform needs to start training an AI that can detect AI generated content so that it can like put a badge over all of these images to be like, "Hey, these aren't real." just, you know, cuz so many people are so keen to try to use this to make money or create content for them that like just imagine in a few years if every single tweet or Tik Tok is created by chat GPT or Midjourney. That sounds like a nightmare. Also, AI uses images and videos on the internet to train itself.
So, if like most of the images and videos on the internet become AI generated and a lot of them look as bad as the ones that we've seen, isn't the AI just going to get worse and worse? If it thinks that that's what real life looks like, what is its bad replication of that going to look like? After I watched that one video, I started looking through a bunch of other videos on how to make money using AI, and there's a bunch of other ones that I think people should know about. This dude's video is called I got AI to create my Facebook ads in 10 minutes.
The first few ways that he shows are pretty tame. It's just like using AI to create product photos using an existing product that already exists. The AI is just being used to enhance the photo, like change the background. But this next one is crazy.
>> We'll drop our product URL in here. Type in our target audience, which is females aged 18 to 45. And then we can hit next.
And then it generated two ad copy examples that we can use.
>> So he just gave this service the product description that he's trying to advertise. It came up with a script for him and now it's going to use AI to have this random woman lip-s sync the AI generated dialogue.
>> Spa day. Meet the mocktail wash. My intimate savior and relaxation partner.
>> I don't know who this woman is. I assume that she must have like licensed her likeness to this service. I hope she did. But even still, I feel like you have to be super careful as an actor if you're going to be licensing your likeness to a service like this cuz you could end up advertising anything and that's kind of terrifying. Okay, here's another tutorial about a similar method.
>> Today, I'm going to show you how to make ads like this or this completely with AR. And what I'm about to show you is scary. It's crazy to acknowledge how scary a tool is, but then your first thought is like, well, how can I make money off of this? Top 10 scariest ways to make money. Number one, fake AI ads.
Let me go ahead and show you how to make them. What you're going to want to do is go to this website and then click ON [music] NEW PROJECT.
SO, HE SHOWS this ad for his website that sells licorice, which has got to be like the most whimsical business idea I've ever heard of. But he reveals after the ad is done playing that like half of the people in this ad were AI, or at least like the video was real, but their lips were AI and the dialogue was AI.
>> Some of the creators in this ad are AI.
Hey, uh, entrepreneurs, have you ever wondered why testimonials like this work so well? how like it's because people assume that the people on their screen are real people talking about a product that they genuinely enjoy. Thus, giving the product more credibility and maybe generating fake videos of fake people endorsing your product who have never experienced your product because computers cannot eat licorice is maybe a little bit unethical. I'm kind of starting to think that this guy doesn't care and that he thinks that we're all dumb. When we are speaking to people on the newsfeed, they are in their dumbest, most stupidest, dumbest state. Don't worry if you feel bad lying to people, guys. They're actually really dumb. So, it's okay.
Obviously, clickbait and scams and fake product testimonials have always existed and will always exist. It just sucks that it seems like it's becoming so much more accessible and a whole new generation of business owners are choosing to adopt the practice. AI is a really broad term and in most cases it's a tool. And I've seen like artists use AI as a tool to improve their workflow.
Not just like using it to type in a prompt and use the result as an end product, but like use it like you would use any other tool in Photoshop. So, if it's making artists lives easier, I think that's one thing. But to use it to trick people or create the most bland or disturbing content I've ever seen on Facebook is super disappointing. And I'll be the first person to admit like it is cool that this technology exists.
It's cool that computers can even generate such realistic, albeit horrifying images in the first place.
But can we not just pause for a second to think about how doing stuff like this is going to make nobody trust anything anymore? Or at the very least, the entire internet is just going to become unusable cuz it's just going to be bots interacting with other bots. Can someone make a movie like the movie Her, but it's actually just two robots falling in love and they both think that they're falling in love with a human? That's going to be big with this new internet, dude. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this video. If you're new here and you're not subscribed yet, make sure you subscribe and turn on my notifications to join Greg. Greg is what I call my subscribers. So, if you're not gregged up, go ahead and smash that subscribe button and [music] and absolutely obliterate the notification bell. I'll see you guys next time. Bye-bye. What's up, Greg? If you've seen my video about the Disney Channel original movie Zombies, then you know I have some deeply troubling feelings about that movie. It's a very poorly made, weird, cobbled together metaphor for racism.
And on top of that, a lot of the lore surrounding the zombies doesn't make any sense. So, I ended up walking away from that movie feeling like I had so many unanswered questions. Which is why when I found out there are two more movies in this franchise, I was honestly thrilled I could actually get some answers to my questions. they'll dive into the lore a little bit deeper. Then I watched the movie and realized that was a very dumb assumption to make. This movie does not answer any of the questions that you might have had about the first movie. In fact, it introduces a whole bunch of new lore that like is even more confusing and also kind of contradicts with the lore from the first movie. Now, all of that might lead you to believe that this movie is going to be really bad, like even worse than the first movie, but honestly, this movie is not that bad.
Also, it has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
So, technically speaking, this is a perfect film. So, strap in and get ready cuz I don't know if you've ever seen a technically perfect film before, but this is what one looks like. The movie starts off right away changing the lore that we all know.
>> Welcome back to Zebra, where belonging is everything. [music] >> It wasn't always this way.
There was a time when we had to protect ourselves, >> right? We all remember that. In [music] the first movie, you explained how the power plant blew up, zombies invaded the whole town, and started killing and eating people. How could we forget?
>> Legend has it that when the first settlers came to Seabbrook, they found wild beasts with sharp claws lurking in the forest.
>> Wait, the So, these beasts are different beasts. These are a different sect of beasts >> which sparked an epic battle.
>> There was a war.
>> Brook settlers bravely fought off the monstrous attack and discovered a powerful energy source. [music] And that mysterious power source basically powered the entire town until that one fateful day when it blew up and created beasts.
Different beasts. There's these are different beasts than the beasts we just saw. This is very beast heavy town.
>> The beasts were a distant memory.
>> Seabbrook forgot monsters could be real.
>> So hold on. You guys didn't think to mention this during the first movie? How could you tell us a history of Seabbrook and neglect to mention the battle with mythical creatures that transpired? What else are you hiding from us? And what about this mysterious power source that runs the entire city? Don't you think during the 200 years since has this happened, someone should have like looked into this, made it a non- mysterious power source? They were like, we'll call this beautiful land Seabbrook. We'll build a school to teach our young, a hospital to treat our ill, and a power plant that might blow up. We do not know. Because of the events of the last movie, now all the zombies are allowed to co-mingle with the humans. It seems like things are really on the up.
It's hard to believe there was a time when people were afraid of zombies.
>> Crazy thing to say for someone who has for sure eaten his neighbors. Also, we saw what you did to people in the last movie, dude. It's not hard to believe at all. I'm still scared of you. Then we check in on Addison, who you may remember from the first movie by her platinum blonde hair that for some reason in this universe makes her some kind of sick, disgusting freak. [music] >> That's dear Captain Bucky. My cousin. My cousin. It's here at Cheer Camp, we learned two things. First, that story about the werewolves is kind of a legend, and no one's really sure if it's true or not.
>> You've all heard the stories of bloodthirsty monsters who roam these woods, feasting on innocent cheerleaders.
>> And two, the younger cheerleaders and the older cheerleaders are not getting along. This week, the veterans and the newbies will compete for the cheer camp cup. Feel like one of those things is going to have a bigger impact on the plot.
>> Watch and learn, Snowball.
>> Ah, yes, my hair. still [music] white, still low condition, and still drawing fire from the AC.
>> Okay, thank God she addressed it, dude.
I know we were all thinking, "What the [ __ ] is wrong with her?" You should shave your head. You look insane. We then get a song about how well everybody's getting along now.
[music] >> The cheerleaders are having fun at cheer camp. Zombies are entering all facets of normal human life. Zed's dad has even been hired as the project manager to demolish the old power plant, which I'm sure will have little to no consequence in this story. The message of the song is undermined a little bit when the cheer captain Bucky >> launches an underassman into the air with a highowered water bazooka called the buckzooka.
>> Just a little bit of playful hazing, I guess, for the underassman. Oh, you want to be a cheerleader? How about some internal bleeding?
That's hazing, baby. Nobody joins an organization that I've already joined and gets away with it. And while I do wish someone would rush this poor girl to the hospital, I do have to admit the song does slap.
The music in the first movie sucked in my opinion, but the production quality of not just the music honestly, but the whole movie is way better in this one.
Probably as a result of the success of the first movie. The first one was very popular. So, they were like, "Look, this next movie, you know, it's not going to make any sense, but it's going to look fantastic." The lighting on that girl as she flies through the air with 12 broken ribs [screaming] is going to be so good.
[music] >> Addison is hoping that Zed will write to her while she's at cheer camp. They have a bit of a love connection going on as you'll remember from the first movie.
But Addison never will get those letters because the older cheerleaders are shredding them and turning them into pompoms for the underclassman to use.
Addison, I hate to say it, I don't think these cheerleaders are teaming up to make progress with you. I think they're conspiring to ruin your life. On the way home from cheer camp, love is in the air. Cheerleaders are asking each other to prawn.
>> Yes, I got a bunch of prawn, >> which is Cabbrook's version of prom.
Their mascot is like a shrimp or something. And so I guess that's why it's called that. And for the first time this year, zombies are allowed to go to prawn. Bria's actually hoping that Bonso will ask her to prom.
>> Getting invited to prawn sounds [music] great, but Bonso won't even look at me.
>> Meanwhile, Bonso was locked in on her carving her face into a threatening looking apple. And Addison gets a surprise of her very own because Zed has devised a very intricate way of asking her to be his date.
>> Addison, will you >> [laughter] >> Daddy.
>> Uh-oh.
>> Uh-oh. Zed's not supposed to be there.
He's supposed to be floating over there.
>> EDISON, HELP. I'M GOING TO [ __ ] DIE.
[screaming] ADDISON. THE BUS CRASHES into a gated forest called the forbidden forest. And Addison goes running off to find Zed. But what she ends up finding are werewolves.
[music] >> We're surrounded by werewolves.
>> So, here's where the movie started to lose me a little bit. And I know this is a perfect film, so this is probably something wrong with me. But I feel like when I look at these werewolves, they're not werewolves. They're just teenagers living in the woods wearing dead animals. You might be thinking, "Okay, these are people who are going to become werewolves at some point." Uh, no. No. These are what the werewolves look like. They even go out of their way to show a full moon in one of the shots to be like, "No, this is as werewolf as they're going to get. These are outdoor teens with dead animals on. That's what werewolves are. And that's just how it is for the entire movie. And on one hand, I guess I understand because like true to form werewolves would probably be super expensive to do and make look good. But also, you guys didn't have to make a movie about werewolves. That was your choice. You already had a whole universe with zombies in it. You didn't have to add another creature. Or you could have kept the movie exactly the same as it is and just not called them werewolves. You could have made up a new creature. just called them outdoor teens. It would have made sense. But no, you had to drag werewolves into this.
You said this movie will be about werewolves. It will be an integral part of the story. And our costume budget will be $4. A few scenes later, a werewolf sneaks into the town of Seabbrook and finds a drawing of like an actual werewolf that Zed's little sister drew. And he takes it back to the other werewolves and they all start making fun of it.
>> Looks nothing like us. Wyatt, >> it's like they're trying to gaslight us.
Werewolves don't look like this.
Werewolves never looked like this. You'd have to be some kind of dumb, uneducated zombie child to think that us wolf people bear any resemblance to those halfwolf, half people. After word gets out that Addison had this encounter with the outdoor teens, the whole town is a mess.
>> Dad, everything is fine.
>> It's not fine. There are werewolves circling us right now, waiting to attack.
>> They jump to the conclusion that the werewolves want to attack them so bad.
Addison leaves the interaction totally unscared. They didn't do anything to her, but the whole town, even the zombies, are like, "Ooh, the werewolves want to kill us so bad. We better kill them first and eat them." Typical zombies. So, the leaders of the town decide to reinstate all emergency monster laws.
>> All anti- monster laws are reinstated.
>> This sets up one of the big conflicts in the movie because, as you know, Addison wants to go to prawn with Zed. But one of these anti-mon laws is that zombies aren't allowed to go to prawn anymore.
>> Zombies can't go to prawn. Ouch. And when I say one of them, I firmly believe that is the only emergency monster law.
It's the only one they talk about in this entire movie. They let so much else slide in this movie, but that's the one thing they're like, "No, we cannot have zombies at Prawn this year." Ouch.
>> You'll see in a bit why that's so strange. But right now, we got to go check in with the werewolves because they're setting up a conflict of their own.
>> And you know, we don't have much time.
Our necklaces are almost out of power.
>> So, the werewolves all wear this stone around their neck. It's called moonstone and it's sort of what gives them their power. I guess it's like some kind of uh mysterious power source or something.
But it turns out that like 200 years ago, somebody or some group of people stole all of the moonstone from them.
So, their reserves are running low and they're all going to like die because they don't have their moonstone. But some of the werewolves think that Addison fulfills a prophecy that the werewolves have about some white-haired lady who's going to lead them to more moonstone. This is the kind of lore that gets you a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
>> Even if the girl is the great alpha, >> uh, a girl, [music] the great alpha, I'll believe it when I see it. [music] >> Even if the girl is the great alpha, how do we find her?
>> I found this in the woods. It's hers.
>> We'll track her down with our keen sense of smell.
>> It says Cra on it, so I thought we might just look there. Kind of seems like they will use any excuse not to show the werewolves do anything werewolfy in this movie. All right, we've got to find this girl. How would werewolves accomplish such a task? We could use our wolf noses. What? No. No. What is wrong with you? No. We could ask around.
>> Yes.
>> Also, for those of you wondering, yes, that is Baby Ariel from Musicly. She used to be like the most followed person on Musicly. Always wondered what happened to her. [snorts] Guess she lives in the woods now. We find the girl and if she's the great alpha, she'll tell us where the moonstone [music] is hidden.
>> We go in the morning.
>> We go tonight.
>> That's right. They're not going to wait around. They have to go tonight. So they march out of the forbidden forest down the streets and into Seabbrook High singing about how they own the night.
[music] >> Then they open up a vent and crawl into it and they wait until morning. So kind of seems like they didn't really need to go at night, did they? They all file into the event so dejectedly.
They're like, "Maybe we should have researched what this place is. I guess we don't know what a school is. They're not here at night." Imagine they accidentally went on like the last day of school before summer. A janitor finally comes in after 80 long days and finds 20 dead werewolves in event. That day at school, Bucky and Zed both decide to run for class president. Zed because he wants to reallow monsters to go to prawn. And Bucky, I don't know, he probably wants to like divert more of the school's funding towards an unmanned drone for the cheerleading team. But then suddenly, >> I will make Sebrook a place that embraces zombies and >> what?
Where? Oh, there.
>> A lucky guess. How can you tell?
>> People peering in through glass doors.
Uh, yep. Those teens live outdoors. Man, [screaming] >> we can't go to war with the whole town.
We'll never find the moonstone if they're on high alert.
>> Yeah, dog. I think that ship has sailed.
You guys just charge them growling and nashing your teeth. I think they're on high alert. Hey, all that stuff we did back there. That was We were just messing around. We're just a bunch of friendly teens.
Don't look at her. Do not look at her.
>> Sorry. We werewolves so admire your town and we just came here to join your school.
>> Okay. Well, that's obviously not allowed. You guys were about to kill them. And also, the emergency monster laws are in effect and there's definitely one forbidding such things.
>> Technically, the forbidden forest is within the school district.
>> What?
>> So, welcome to FE.
>> What? Wow, guys. The emergency monster laws are working great. No, you did so good. You did such a good job. Oh, they were so close to killing you. And they only stopped because they found out Bonso is not allowed to prawn. So, good rule. So, just like that, the werewolves enroll at Seabbrook High. And wait a minute, all of the werewolves look the same age. Are they all teenagers or are some of them like 80 years old? Are some of them babies? How does that work in dog years? Are they going to classes? I don't even know if they know how to write. They're not going to be able to find the moonstone. They're going to be too busy failing all their classes. So, Zed is worried about losing the class president election to Bucky. So, he decides to go over the new untapped voter base, the werewolves.
>> Werewolves of the swing boat.
>> Hello, wolves. I'm Zed.
>> Yeah, for some reason, I feel like the werewolves aren't going to care who becomes the class president. They don't know what a president is. They don't know what school is. They live in the woods and they wear moonstone. Dude, you have no [ __ ] clue. Come on, we've got [music] moves to bust.
>> Throughout this whole movie, Addison has her own thing going on, too, where she just feels like she doesn't belong anywhere. That's right. Despite being a bleach blonde cheerleader at a Disney Channel high school, who was literally elected captain of the cheerleading team in this movie, she just doesn't fit in.
I don't feel [music] like [singing] I belong anywhere where >> which makes her that much more susceptible when the werewolves come a knocking.
The werewolves are starting to get desperate. And given that they think that Addison is the great alpha, which again she could not be, [music] they bring her back to their cave and ask her for help.
>> I believe you're the great alpha. I believe you're a werewolf.
>> That's it. That's why she doesn't fit in. That's why she has ugly hair. It's cuz she's a different species. It finally makes sense. So, they do a little dance. They do a little wardrobe change. And now she's a werewolf. Damn, that was a fast costume change. Did she know they were going to rip her clothes off down there?
This seems terrifying if she didn't. The rest of the gang gets worried when they realize Addison is gone with the zombies. So, Zed shows up and he just [ __ ] kills one of them.
Holy [ __ ] dude. And we never see that guy again. I think he's dead.
>> The explosion [music] came from Seabbrook Power.
>> Seabbrook Power is the birthplace of zombies.
>> A little lime soda mixed with some mysterious energy and bam, >> zombies.
>> Nice story, but it doesn't concern us.
>> Nice story about you and your unknown electricity fuel, but we've got our own problem. We're looking for a mysterious power source.
>> But it does concern you, Willa. That could be your moonstone, right?
>> Oh [ __ ] she's right. So, for the rest of the movie, Addison is like pretending to be a werewolf. She shows up to school the next day and she's like, "I'm a werewolf. I've always been a werewolf."
And I've always known I was a werewolf.
>> Addison, if you ever expect to be cheer captain.
>> Well, maybe I don't.
>> Maybe I'm not meant to be cheer captain.
Maybe I'm meant to be eating gerbles. I don't. What do werewolves do?
I actually don't know what they do. I know I am one. I just don't know what we do. Then we get the presidential debate between Zed and Bucky. And this is how all presidential debates should go.
>> I'm a real human. There's no danger in that. They're real monsters. What if they turn back?
>> There should be singing. There should be choreography. One of the sides should be claiming that the other is a dangerous beast. And President Biden, how would you respond to that claim? He wants TO EAT ME. HE'S TRYING TO [ __ ] EAT ME.
THE DEMOLITION OF THE POWER plant is imminent. So, the werewolves rush there to stop the mayor from destroying Alder Moonstone via song. Uh, it does not go very well.
Arrest them.
>> Oh my god, dude. He said arrest them, not gas them.
>> Collidal silver. That'll tame those beasts.
>> You know, for a government that just found out werewolves exist, they sure seem to have the exact chemical compound that would hurt them most. Collidal silver shuts down their nervous system instantly.
All right, just a hunch. Then Addison and the cheerleaders show up. And then Zed and the zombie show up and now they're all singing trying to convince the mayor to shut this thing down.
>> Okay, at this point in the song, they're just having fun with it, man. They're just splashing around. I don't even think they're trying to convince the mayor anymore. He's not even in that part of the power plant. He's just standing alone in the main entrance now.
You can hear music just vaguely echoing through the plant. Okay, I get it. I think I figured it out like 20 minutes ago, guys.
>> Okay, so I've got good news and I've got bad news. The good news is they decide not to blow up the power plant.
>> Stop the detonation.
>> The bad news is the demolition guy accidentally does it anyway.
>> Shut it off.
>> I can't.
>> And also, Addison finds out she's actually not a werewolf.
>> Am I?
Bree's like, I actually I don't know.
They sort of just look like regular people to me. You look like a teenager who lives outside.
>> She's not a werewolf.
>> Oh, that's so [music] embarrassing.
Dude, we all saw you act like a werewolf. You dressed up like one and everything, dude. No. Don't worry. This movie does end with them finding a way to access the moonstone underground.
They transport it to Prawn. And then they dance all night in the iridescent glow of this mysterious power source that is surely exposing them all to a dangerous dose of radiation. And then at the very end of the movie, they hint at another sequel, which seems to have something to do with aliens.
>> Weird. [music] >> And that is Zombies 2. And now it's time to talk about our sponsor.

>> What's up, Greg? I've wanted to make a video about the high school musical movies ever since I started making videos about decoms almost 5 years ago.
More so as just an excuse to go back and watch them cuz when I was a kid, I really like these movies. And if you're a millennial, chances are you did too.
And you were also too scared to admit that to any of your friends. I don't know why as an 11-year-old I felt the need to pretend that I didn't like a movie that was, you know, made for 11-year-old. As if all my friends were going to be like High School Musical. I don't know, man. Sounds a little immature to me. I only watch war footage. I'm a very violent young man.
Either way, something I did not realize as a kid is how lowbudget these movies were. The first movie was made on a budget of $4.2 million, which might sound like a lot, but Zombies 3, which is a newer decom, cost $40 million to make. In Zombie's defense, though, they needed the money. Those werewolf costumes looked pretty expensive. To the spotlight operator's credit, they actually do crush it. They both get up there and they're nervous at first, but then all of a sudden, Troy's voice, it's like it changes almost, actually. It's like his voice changes from his voice to like a professional singer's voice cuz that is what happens. Actually, [music] >> I think this might be like the most well-known High School Musical trivia, but for the vast majority of the first High School Musical movie, it's not Zack Efron's voice singing. He had a voice double. His name is Drew Cely, and he never appears on screen in the movies.
He also apparently didn't even realize how big of a movie High School Musical was and forgot that he had done the vocals for the movie until it came on the TV while he was working a shift at PF Changs. Apparently, he tried to convince his co-workers that it was really him singing in the movie and no one believed him. It's kind of funny cuz the whole point of the movie is kind of like, "Hey, basketball guys can sing, too, if they want to." [music] Uh, but not this basketball guy. Actually, you don't want to hear this basketball guy's voice. So, they crush the song. They're Then, um, actually, I don't, uh, I don't remember this scene. Yeah, I don't know what happens here at all. Looks like the teacher is about to maybe give [music] some kind of speech about today's sponsor. This video is sponsored by the Pokémon Company International, and they've sponsored this video because they want me to share some very exciting news with you.

What did you do at your last school?
Troy notices that Gabriella is sitting in the back of their drama class. And not to be nitpicky, but this drama class scene lasts for 2 minutes, but the class happens in real time from start to finish in that 2 minutes. The bell rings, they sit down, the whole class gets detention, and then the bell rings again and they leave. How long is a school day at East Sai? Is it like 15 minutes? Troy shows Gabriella around. They catch up a little bit and it is revealed that jokes that Gabriella should sign up because, you know, they sang together. and Gabriella's response is basically, "Fuck no, >> I'll be signing up for anything for a while."
>> Yeah, I don't know why I remembered this movie differently. I thought they both wanted to do the musical. Troy seems to maybe want to do it and Gabrielle is like, "No, I'm not doing that. No, I don't say I'm not a freaky genius girl and I'm definitely not a freaky singer girl."
>> So, dude, you know that uh school musical thing um Troy, the music in those shows isn't hip-hop, okay? Or rock. It's like show music.
>> Yeah. And you guys would never do anything like sing show show music, right?
On the other hand, I guess it would also be weird if they didn't sing when everyone else was. At the end when they're all singing, we're all in this together. Corbin Blue is just standing around like this is lame. There's two parts in the song though where Troy like stops rapping to sing from the heart about how he wants to do the musical.
>> She makes this feel right. [music] Should I go for it? What do you mean she makes this feel so right and should I go for it? Gabriella doesn't want to do the musical. It was your idea and she said no. Don't drag her into this. This girl's making me crazy. No, you're crazy. You already were. And then you met a girl. That's what happened. Also, Zack Efron is 5'8 and presumably so is everybody else on this basketball team cuz they're all like the same height.
So, how good exactly are they at basketball? Okay, now you got Sharpi who's played by Ashley Tisdale. She's like the head of the theater department at school. She's the theater kid and her brother Ryan is the theater kid in boy form. They are getting a little bit worried that Troy and Gabriella might audition for the musical again.
Gabriella has showed zero interest in doing the musical. So they decide to do a little bit of research on Gabriella.
So wow, where'd he go? Pay no attention to the fact that as he turns the corner, he probably fully saw Troy. Like meanwhile, Troy's dad is just standing there like, "Huh, that's weird. Could have sworn I saw basketball." Now, when we see the auditions, it becomes immediately clear that while Ryan and Sharpi are basically made out to be the villains of this movie cuz they're so overprotective of their theater department, they are completely in the right to do so. Not because their audition is really good, which it actually is, but because everyone else's is so bad.
>> It's hard to believe >> that I couldn't sneeze. It seems that no one else in this entire school can even sing. It seems like they actually don't even have a concept of what music is. So like, yeah, I would actually be hoping I got the lead, too. It is funny how they all act like they can't sing and then anytime there's like an actual musical number as part of the movie. Every member of the student bodies things their heart out like the Rent is do.
What's going on there? So Troy shows up to audition and then Gabriella shows up too. I guess turns out she actually did want to audition. I don't I don't know if Troy threatened her or what, but she shows up. But they are too late to the actual audition, so they don't get to audition in time, but they stick around afterwards and just sing an audition anyway. And Miss Darvis, the director, hears them and decides, "You know what?
You guys get a call back."
Understandably so. She's working with a very small talent pool. Here comes two people who know what a song is. She's got to hold on to them. Supposed to believe he doesn't see them set up a webcam right in front of his face to record him shit-talking his girlfriend.
They might as well be filming on like a giant hand crank film camera. The kind where you got to put a blanket over your head to even see the image. Troy 100% sees the camera and does not care who sees what he's saying.
>> The thunder clap.
>> Gabriella is not important.
>> After this happens, Gabriella doesn't want to talk to Troy anymore. And this really hits Troy hard. As you can see here, the pain is manifesting itself in Troy physically here as he can't even shoot a basket without experiencing immense physical trauma. Aren't basketball players supposed to be good under pressure? Especially the captain of the team. Seems like this whole movie we've seen nothing short of the psychological unraveling of Troy because he sang with a girl one time.
>> Hey, we just had another team meeting.
>> We just had another team meeting, man.
And we just wanted to say we forgot about JJ Buckets Jenkins, class of 1984.
Does that change your mind? So later, Troy sneaks up onto Gabriella's balcony again. Huge house, no explanation to try to win her back. Yeah, I don't remember this part being so pitchy, but this actually is Zack Efron's voice.
>> Yeah, this is very uncomfortable. Can we Can we get Dusely in here, please?
>> Start of something new. It's a pair's audition.
>> Saying it's a pair's audition kind of implies like I would audition without you if I could. I guess Troy meant what he said earlier to the webcam. He really does not care about Gabriella. He just wants to be in the musical.
>> Gabriella is not important.
>> You might make the mistake like I did when I watched this as a kid of thinking this is kind of like a Romeo and Juliet story about Troy and Gabriella. Uh, and it is a Romeo and Juliet story, but Gabriella is not Juliet. Juliet is just the musical. Don't sing and dance with them like you learned a valuable lesson.
Get out. If Gabriella dropped dead right now, you would dance on her grave.
And that's High School Musical 1. Many people lovingly remember Little Viking Boy from the first High School Musical movie. And while he rocketed to stardom in the wake of the first movie, his troubled life and fall from grace has been the subject of many concerned Twitter threads in the 19 years since.
Do you know why I pulled you over today, sir? Huh? I said, "Do you know why I pulled you over? You're all over the road." All right. You want to play tough, [ __ ] That's fine. All right, step out of the vehicle. Take off that helmet.
>> No, I can't take this off. It's a birth defect. It's part of my body.
>> Are you drunk?
>> I don't know. Huh? Let's think about that. Does crack get you drunk? H. Let's think about that for a second. Let's all think. Does crack get you drunk?
>> After 15 DUI and three counts of kidnapping exotic animals, little Viking boy was sentenced to life in prison.
Authorities claim that it's here he became head of an extremist religious cult. His followers helped him escape in 2023, and his current whereabouts are unknown. Although he does occasionally post to Instagram [music] to frantically proclaim the end is near or post a brand deal.
>> Every morning I wake up and I drink six bangs. High School Musical premiered to 7.7 million viewers, a record that has only been broken a handful of times in the nearly 20 years since. But one of my favorite things to come out of the success of this movie, which I totally forgot about until I was making this video, was the live concert. I forgot about this until I went to the library to check out the DVDs for the three movies and they happened to have a DVD of the recording of High School Musical in concert. This feels pretty unusual even to this day for a Disney Channel movie to put together a live touring concert featuring the actual cast of the movie selling out arenas with audiences in the tens of thousands around the world. But it wasn't the whole cast.
Actually, Zack Efron couldn't be there because he had a commitment. He was filming Hairspray at the time. So, who did they get to fill in for him?
>> Living in [music] my own world.
It's Drew Cely.
Drew. Drew. [music] Drew. Drew. Drew.
Drew. Drew. Drew Cely. I'm sure they advertised the fact that Zach wasn't going to be there and Drew would be in his place. But I have to imagine every concert, there were like one or two kids that were like, "What the [ __ ] Zach looks different in person." With all the success of the first movie, they had to crank out a sequel fast, which they did, releasing High School Musical 2 in August of 2007. And you might think it would be impossible for them to catch Lightning in a Bottle twice, but oh baby, did they. What time is it? Sequel time. High School Musical 2 is often regarded as the best High School Musical movie. Out of any High School Musical movie, this one has the most moments that have lived on in the cultural zeitgeist even today. The movie starts just as the school year is ending. The musical is long over. So, if you were expecting to get that out of your head right now, you're never going to see that musical. One of the first things I notice is that despite only a few months having passed from the events of the first movie, Troy looks drastically different. His hair is much darker. He has a different haircut, so you can see his ears now. But most strikingly of all, his eyes have somehow become more blue. You're actually listening. His eyes were already pretty blue in the first movie, but they're piercing in this film. It is scary. Get some contacts, you freak. The class immediately erupts in celebration. They throw their papers in the air, start dancing around, and did Chad just kiss his teacher on the neck?
Yeah, he Okay, he just kissed Miss Darbis on the neck. That's too far.
Luckily, it doesn't look like she cared.
She's just vibing.
>> We finally get to hear Zack Efron actually sing in this song. And I hate to admit it, but he sounds pretty good.
I'm sorry, Drew. Your services are no longer needed. Why does he look so confused there? It's like it never occurred to him that tea could be for Troy. He's like, "Oh, I actually thought it was a cross, but yeah, no. Yeah, T for Troy. That's my name." And now that the school year's over and basketball season isn't starting back up again for months, it's time for, YOU GUESSED IT, BASKETBALL PRACTICE. FAKE RIGHT, TROY.
Fake left. Take the ball uptown for a fancy dinner. Post-workout scene has a lot of gems, like Mr. Bolton's insanely long shorts. Dude is criminally insecure about his knees. Also, Troy about to drink from an entire gallon of milk from the fridge. And then he gets a phone call revealing that his ringtone is, "Get your head in the game.
Uh-oh. Is that a real song in this universe? So, in the first movie, it seemed like Sharpi might have had a little crush on Troy, but in this movie, she's got a big crush on Troy. She's like, "He's the most popular guy in school, and I think I'm the most popular girl in school. It's a match made in heaven." So, she pulls some strings at her family's country club to get Troy a summer job there. The only catch is Troy requests to get like the entire school hired, and somehow that works. So, Troy shows up because they are just kids. So, some of the insane demands that their job is asking of them is just like, "Hey, can you show up to work on time and make sure you clock out at the end of your shift?" And the entire student body of East High is like, "We're in prison. They're not going to pay us until we provide a service." What kind of dystopian universe is this? Mr. Fulton is 100% correct to be strict, by the way. Several times throughout this movie, he catches them doing things they're very clearly not supposed to be doing. If I was a basketball recruiter and I saw that championship game, I would be more concerned and then come back and win the game like nothing happened. And then also how they all sang a song after that. That's what I would be concerned about. But yeah, I'm sure he played well, too.
>> You know, between the two of us here, we uh we pull a little weight over at the school.
>> Ah, well um time flies when you're having fun.
>> I'm not really sure what prompts that reaction. They're like, you know, we could do a lot of great things for your future. We really want to help you, Troy. And he's like, I don't know. I'm getting the [ __ ] out of here, guys. See, if that were Mr. Bolton in there instead of Troy right now, he would be he'd be barking like a dog.
>> Pays dad let me play a few holes and then invited me to dinner with some UFA alumni.
>> Really?
>> Oh, wait. Troy's dad is fixing up a car.
Look, he has other hobbies. Good for him. Granted, he is propping up the hood of the car with a basketball. And there's more basketball and hoops in the background. And I do kind of feel like if we could see what he's working on, there would just be five basketballs where the engine is supposed to be. But it's a step in the right direction.
Troy's dad, surprisingly, is all for Troy going for the basketball scholarship.
>> Nothing wrong with keeping your eye on the prize, >> and that's great. I totally agree with that. Troy should capitalize on these opportunities he's been given, but he should try to make his girlfriend and his friends a priority, too. However, that is not what Troy does.
>> This song is great, but tell me why at the end of the song, Ryan and Chad are wearing each other's clothes, cuz they don't ever address that. It's such a confusing part of the movie. Why did they change clothes? when when did they get naked? So, I was confused about this, so I actually went looking and I found an article where the two actors explained what happened. The outfit swap was actually suggested by director Kenny Ortega. Quote, "He had the on the-fly idea at the last minute." Blue said, "We had already done one take of that scene, and he did the usual thinking gesture and said, "Switch outfits." Bro was cooking.
Bro was I don't know what he was cooking, but Bro was cooking something.
>> [laughter] >> Hey, >> well, you missed out on a fun night.
>> Hell yeah, dude. You know, powerful lyrics aside, I actually have no clue what he's decided on at the end of this song. He's kind of just like, you can bet on me. I'm going to end up on top. I got this. And it's like, what are you actually going to do, though? Are you going to get Gabriella back? Are you going to do the talent show? He's like, no, I was just going to stand on top of this mountain for the rest of the summer. Actually, no one can be mad at me up here. The end of this movie is messed up. Sharpi actually turns her act around. She previously got the Wildcats banned. Last song of this movie is called All for One. Um, I don't know. I kind of feel like they lost a little bit of inspiration at the end here. Kind of feels like they forgot what moral they were working towards for the end of this one and they were like, "And we're all together in this one also." And the movie ends with Gabriella wooing several times while looking over at Troy for approval. And that's the end of the movie. And now I'm very excited to watch the third movie. But before I do, there's something I need to address.
I feel like there's something deeply wrong in these movies. And I'm I feel like I'm finally starting to get a handle on it. These movies like they don't really feel like musicals. And it took me a while to figure out why. So to explain it to you, we're going to have to go back to medieval Europe. In a French town in 1518, some 400 people became inexplicably overcome by an urge to dance. They did so for weeks on end.
>> This dancing plague, as it was later coined, lasted for months and only ended when participants were either so exhausted that they collapsed or so exhausted that they were dead.
Authorities tried to stop the dancing, even hiring musicians to play vigorously to try to help them get all the dancing out of their system. This, of course, made things much worse.
>> This event has baffled scientists and historians [music] for years, but many believe it could be the result of a particular type of food poisoning. Yeah, crops like rye can end up growing a type of fungus that basically makes you crazy.
>> Could it be that this is what's happening at East High?
>> In the High School Musical universe, the characters, they sing and they dance.
And at first, you might think this is just like any other musical. The characters aren't really spontaneously breaking into song. It's more an artistic depiction of how they're feeling.
>> But a closer look reveals something shocking.
>> Well, firstly, sometimes they definitely are actually singing, like at the karaoke party. Now, you might think that a moment like Get Your Head in the Game is totally different. You know, that song doesn't really exist within this [music] universe. But what is Troy's ringtone in the second movie?
But how could an entire school become poisoned by a rare fungus? This man, who convinced us he had relevant qualifications, believes it could have been a certain freaky genius girl. It could be that by growing a fungus in a lab, Gabriella was able to manufacture a sort of singing and dancing craze to control Troy, who I'm pretty sure would have never done all of that stuff had he not been under some kind of drug induced hysteria. After all, Troy is so cool and singing is for weirdos. So, it could be the fungus. Or maybe Gabrielle is some kind of [ __ ] witch. The High School Musical Bonus soundtrack. You love High School Musical hits like Get Your Head in the Game? Well, now's your chance to own the extended soundtrack. feet like Coach Bolton's crisis. What's up, guys?
I'm 16. I'm the new player on the basketball [music] team. I'm really excited to play. Yeah, Mr. Bolton, we know it's you. And Gabriella is on the news. A little boy drown [music] in the pool.
>> Oh no. A little boy drown in the pool.
Where was the lifeguard [music] having a picnic?
>> And a preview of the finale song from High School Musical 3. We're all friends together with each other. [music] We're all [singing] together at the end again.
And we're friends. We're still friends and classmates. We go to school together. We learned a lesson. And now we're [music] going to switch clothes.
>> High School Musical 2 broke the premiere record that the first High School Musical had just set. Instead of 7 million viewers, this one had 17 million viewers. So, of course, they had to make a third one. High School Musical 3 Senior Year. The only one in the franchise with a subtitle. Now, outside of the fact that they're all seniors in this movie, which I can tell by the title of the film, I actually know next to nothing about this one. I've never seen it. Yeah, I know I made it sound like I was a really big High School Musical fan, but by the time the third one came out, I was 14. And unlike the first two, this one came out in theaters. And as a freshman in high school, I was much too embarrassed to ask my friends if they would go see a high school musical movie in theaters with me. So, I decided it would be way less embarrassing if I waited until I was 30 years old to watch it for the first time in front of millions of people. And we're back at East Tai, baby. Zach's playing basketball.
There's a there's a dog in the crowd. Is this an Airbud crossover? Zach's like, "Oh, my head's just not in the game tonight. Can we get in the sub?" This gold lab comes in and just slam dunks [music] it a couple times. The movie opens on the Wildcats with their backs against the wall. It's the championship game. They're behind and there's only [music] 16 minutes left.
Whoa. Mr. Bolton rocking a middle part.
That's new. Mr. Bolton gives a speech about how there's only 16 minutes left.
16 minutes left.
>> And then they sing a song about how there's only 16 minutes left.
specific with these songs. I think they're starting to run out of ideas.
[music] >> Dad proud. If I don't, then he never will be. Hell yeah. He won the championship game again. I'm noticing right away that this movie is like much higher production value than the other two. I'm curious to see the budget on this bad boy cuz this movie looks like they actually like lit it. The other two just kind of look like they set up cameras and started filming, but there's there's lights in this one.
>> So, now they're having like the biggest high school rager ever. And they expect us to believe that they're not insanely rich. This I'm pretty sure this is in Troy's backyard.
>> Hey, Troy. Great [music] house, bro.
Your room is way cool.
>> Oh, thanks, man.
>> Yeah.
>> You were in my room?
>> Well, yeah. I just took a picture.
>> Yeah, I just took a picture of your room, man. He's a secret agent for the IRS. He's like, "How did your family get so rich?"
>> Well, another top secret hiding place.
[music] >> You're the second girl I've ever ran up there.
>> Yeah, it is top secret. I couldn't even see it up there. Just looks like a regular tree to me.
>> It's here we find out that while Troy is a shoein for the basketball team at UFA, Gabriella's already been accepted to Stanford. I sense a conflict in the movie. Troy's going to University of Albuquerque to play basketball and Gabriella is going to learn how to create the singularity at Stanford. So, they sing a song about cherishing the present moment.
>> Did they like challenge themselves to make a song with no dancing in this one?
They're like, "What if we just sat for a whole song?" oop, now he's up. Oh, that was it. That was the whole dance.
>> No, it doesn't work with this song.
Giuliard is considering four of you for one available scholarship. Sharpe Evans, Mr. Ryan Evans, Miss Kelsey Nielsen, and lastly, Mr. Troy Bolton.
>> What? [laughter] >> Julie, since when does that guy have a evil cackle? I mean, I was surprised, too.
But that guy threw his head back and squealled.
[laughter] Did he submit his name to Giuliard to some kind of evil plan to get him killed? They're trying to come up with some ideas for the spring musical, which I'm just now realizing they write every year. Like, they don't do a pre-existing musical. They write their own musical every year.
>> All of you will create it.
>> That's why in the first movie, they call Kel. Isn't that crazy? But to get some ideas, Miss Darbis asks the seniors about their future.
>> Your future?
>> It's easy. It's U of A. Hoops all the way.
Yeah, >> is University of Albuquerque like a really good school for basketball. I feel like I've never heard of them before. All the basketball players are like, "We got to get to UFA." Man, it seems like that's just like the closest college that has a basketball team.
Meanwhile, Gabriella's going to Stanford. Sharpi is going to Giuliard.
They're like, "I don't know. We can go play basketball down the street." For the record, the reason I've never heard of the University of Albuquerque is because it's a Catholic liberal arts school that actually um [music] closed in 1986. So, I guess these characters live in some sort of alternate dimension where it stayed open and went on to become a basketball powerhouse.
>> Mr. Bolton.
Mr. Bolton.
>> Yeah. Uh all of a sudden, he doesn't know if he wants to go to Giuliard or U of A. See, he really never did care about Gabriella. He just wants to sing.
Somebody just let this kid sing. Just tell him it's okay.
[music] >> That song started so abruptly. No intro, >> no buildup. It's kind of scary.
[music] >> Oh, this is a a look into some kind of strange alternate future where Troy chose neither basketball or Giuliard and became a stalker. I want that to be how this movie ends. Troy choosing between two incredible futures and instead he just throws his life away.
>> Like I can't I can't decide. I don't [ __ ] know.
>> Miss D said that there's only one scholarship. There's two of us.
>> Wait, they're doing this to compete for a scholarship, not even just a like a place at Giuliard. If I know anything about these two, it's that they can both afford to go to Giuliard. Why do they need to take the scholarship away from somebody else?
>> Which one do you think I should wear?
Well, I've never been asked to a prom, but this almost sounds like an invitation.
>> Did she say she's never been asked to prom?
>> Dance.
>> What about last year? They were dating last year. Troy didn't want to go to prom with her. His dad was probably making him run basketball drills.
>> The only place you're going, Troy, is downtown with the ball. Make sure you bring the ball. Time for another song >> about how much Troy and Gabriella love each other. There's already like two very sentimental songs between these two. They are really setting us up for heartbreak, I feel. And also just spending like an unnecessary amount of time being like, "These two are in love." Okay, don't don't forget that they're in love. That way when whatever happens happens, we're going to all be sad. All right. So that way when Troy picks UFA and Gabriella gets hit by a bus, it's going to be sad. I think they're going to end up going to the same college. They They couldn't possibly end this entire series by being like, "Eh, they didn't actually like each other that much. They're just going to they're just going to call it quits."
>> Where's our clothes? Yo, Rocket Man.
>> Why do I feel like they're about to haze these kids?
>> You know, we weren't just given these lockers. We had to earn them.
>> Right. Right.
>> Oh, they're definitely about to haze these kids. Now, drink this entire bottle of Absolute. That'd be a crazy twist in this movie.
>> Just a little hazing. Troy is not better than doing some hazing.
>> Oh, I thought I heard you. I was just making some snacks inside. Are you guys hungry?
>> Only if it's your brownies. I've had them. I've had them. I've had them.
Bring those out here. Hey, did you take me after school to check out that tuxedo?
>> Tuxedo for what?
>> For prom?
>> Oh, honey, if that's what you call an invitation, you'll be dancing with yourself.
>> He's like, "Okay, I wasn't inviting you. I'm going to ask Miss Darbis." Then comes a song about getting ready for prom featuring, I think, the funniest moment in any of these movies. [music] >> Yo, this movie is kind of funny, man.
>> [music and singing] >> makes me look weird.
>> Do I want >> I like that they're like, "Should I wear plaid or ruffles or a really old suit?"
And it's like, "No, you should wear just go just go to Men's Warehouse and ask for a prom tuxedo. Should I wear the ugliest thing that you've ever seen?"
No, just go just tell them you're going to prom and they'll just give you the most generic tux you've ever seen.
Can't wait to >> This reminds me of when I was a senior in high school and I was getting ready to go for prom and I sang this song called It's Going to Be the Night to Remember and me and all my boys got dressed up in weird suits and danced around on the stage. This is kind of just LIKE THAT ACTUALLY.
>> AM I crazy or is is there like actually too much music in this movie? I feel like the plot is kind of moving at a snail's pace cuz every 2 minutes there's a song and it's like here's what's going on right now. We're thinking about going to prom. We're Troy and Gabriella. We like each other. Also, the stakes feel very low right now. What am I supposed to be worried about right now? Troy is like, "I don't know what college I want to go to." And Gabriella's like, "I also have choices to make.
>> I still have decisions to make, too."
>> And she has not elaborated, and so I don't know what I'm supposed to be worried about now. at some kind of junkyard >> just hanging out at a junkyard as if we've always known that this is what they do.
>> You see what happens when you do a show?
You're like five people.
>> Yeah, but what's so bad about that, man?
>> We used to come here as kids. We'd be 10 people.
>> Yeah, I remember that cuz they used to talk about that in all the other movies.
How they used to come to the junkyard.
[music] >> Take it back to the place where you know it all began.
>> Finally, the boys are back at the junkyard. So that we had a song establishing that Troy and Gabrielle are in love. Now we have a song establishing that Troy and Chad are friends. This kind of reminds me of senior year in high school when I danced around in a junkyard with my best friend and we sang a song about how the boys are back.
It's weirdly similar, actually.
Whoa. The junk men who live in the junkyard are here. [laughter] >> What's going on? What if Troy and Chad turn around and see them and they're like, "Whoa, what the [ __ ] Who are you?" Maybe I'll just stay here next year.
>> Stay in Albuquerque? That makes no sense. And why do I always have to make sense?
>> Why do I always have to make sense? Why can't sometimes I just say, >> "What are you going to uh tell me about this, [snorts] >> Jiuliard?"
>> The only dad to ever be pissed off that his son is getting considered for a scholarship at one of the most prestigious colleges in the country.
>> Hey, Troy, come on.
>> A damn, he's too fast. Get back here.
The director for that scene was like, "Okay, how could you guys like run away but also walk away at the same time?"
Oh no, he's going crazy again.
>> Painful basketball time. Time to scream and shoot some poops. [laughter] I like that little pouty dance up the stairs. Okay, Troy, for this one, you're a pouty toddler. Now you're a crab.
[music] >> [screaming] >> Man, he wasn't kidding. He was really going to scream. Well, now that he did it, I hope he can figure out what he's going to do. [laughter] Now that I got that out of my system, I'm for sure going back to U of A. I don't care about singing, >> Miss D. I know I'm not supposed to be here.
>> Aren't you last one out? Turns off the lights.
>> You know, she might seem cool about Troy being there right now, but as she walks through the school to get back to her car, she realizes he totally trashed the place. It's like he tore down posters.
He flipped an entire hallway upside down. How did he do this?
>> I don't think I can do it, Troy.
>> Uh-oh.
Is that a Dr. Pepper in the background?
That looks good.
>> I've chosen basketball.
[applause] But I've also chosen theater.
The University of California, Berkeley.
>> Okay.
I'll be honest, I did not know that that was a that was an option.
>> [cheering] >> They made the Mr. Beast logo.
[music] >> I like that they're performing for the camera and not for the audience who's here to see them graduate. They're just like facing away from the bleachers. All their parents are like, "Damn, I wish I could see their faces. I don't even know which one's my kid." Now they're all [laughter] Now they're all just going to smile at the camera for the rest of their lives. They say, "We're not going to college, baby. We're going to stare at this camera forever."
[applause] And that's it. That's High School Musical, baby. As far as endings go, I think they did a decent job with a nearly impossible task. It's a Disney Channel movie, so it's not like they can just like make everybody break up and go their separate ways at the end of the movie. That would be too sad, obviously.
But they also can't make everybody just go to the same college and do the same thing cuz that would be unrealistic. So it leaves the door open. My only issue is that in doing that they kind of don't really provide any closure. Feels like they kind of just pushed Troy's decision of what he wants to do with his life further down the road. But if you are looking for some closure for Troy, I might have something that helps.
I mentioned earlier that the character of Troy was inspired by one of the writer's real high school teammates. But when I read that for the first time on Wikipedia, I was surprised to find that that teammate has his own Wikipedia article. And that's because that classmate, Lynn Swan, went on to be a professional football player, playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers and winning the Super Bowl four times. This man is the real life Troy Bolton, and that might be the least interesting thing about him. In fact, he might not even know.
>> It really helped you in your game. All the things that ballet taught [music] you, you applied that to the football field. Touchdown Pittsburgh.
>> Did you catch any flak [music] from your teammates about taking ballet? I mean, >> oh, always.
>> It's a gift from the guys.
>> But I'll always remember a Hall of Famer who rose to the occasion each time. A playa [music] making playmaker. But your playmaker, >> did you ever think maybe I could be both?
>> Who could defy gravity?
>> [music] >> What's up, Greg? New technology truly fascinates me. A new gadget being introduced [music] to the world has the potential to change the way we live, learn, and communicate. Or more interestingly, it could flop and become a laughingtock of the internet. Which is why a few weeks ago, I was thrilled to discover the unveiling for a project called the Humane AI pin. This might be the worst product presentation I've ever seen for one of the strangest products I've ever seen. Apparently, Humane AI is a new tech startup founded by two former Apple employees and current lovers, Imran Chowry and Bethany Bonjouro. Their mission is building innovative technology that feels familiar, natural, and human. Okay, first thing that's sticking out to me is that none of those words were useful. Also, do I really want my technology to feel more human?
I've never wished my MacBook to be more fleshy. Also, humane AI is such an unsettling name for a company. I'm sorry, you lost me right off the bat. I feel like the only times I ever even hear the word humane is when we're talking about like factory farming or something. Don't worry, dude. When this AI takes over, it is going to be super humane in the way it slaughters us. It will not violate the Geneva Convention unlike other AIs, Siri. All right, let's go ahead and watch the product presentation and let's see if you think it's as weird as I do.
>> Welcome to Humane.
>> Thank you.
>> This is the Humane AI pin.
>> Cool.
>> It's a standalone device and software platform.
>> So, the intro does have a very threatening aura about it, doesn't it?
The sterile white room. They're both so serious and they're unboxing a mysterious device. I feel like I'm about to be tortured for information.
>> What is that?
>> This is the Humane AI ping and it is the last thing you will ever see.
>> It's a standalone device and software platform built from the ground up for AI.
>> Okay, so it's some kind of mobile device. It's built from the ground up for AI. And I'm very excited for them to tell us what that means.
>> It comes in three colorways. Got Eclipse, Lunar, and Equinox.
>> Those are not colors.
>> There's two pieces, a computer and a battery booster. And the battery booster powers a smaller battery inside the main computer.
>> Okay, great. What does it do?
>> And this is how we achieve our all day battery life.
>> Oh, great. It's got all day battery life. That way you can spend all day.
There are no wake words, so it's not always listening or always recording. In fact, it doesn't do anything until you engage with it.
>> Okay, thank God. So, it doesn't record me. That's good to know. For a second, I was worried that it almost had one feature. Who is this for? What kind of person needs to hear about what colors a device comes in before they'd even consider hearing about what it actually does? Also, two of the colors are black.
You designed three colors and two of them are black. You couldn't come up with a third color. Also, I'm sorry because I know that not everyone is super comfortable in front of a camera.
It's not a skill set everyone has. But maybe you guys should have like hired a spokesperson or something instead of letting the world's two sleepiest CEOs do this product demo.
>> The battery booster powers a smaller battery inside the main computer.
>> Are they okay? This thing has all day battery life. That's because it actually feeds on your life force. I've had mine on for 3 months and you probably can't even tell the physical toll it's had on me.
>> Your engagement comes through your touch, voice, gesture, or the lasering display.
>> Wa! Wait. Okay. Holy cow. We have a feature. It actually does something. I will admit, I was not expecting that.
Why didn't you lead with that? I mean, I don't know what that is or what it does, but at least it's something. It looks futuristic. I don't know about the name laser ink display, though. That doesn't sound very futuristic.
>> The laser ink display >> sounds like a printer. It also comes with its own connectivity built right in. Our own humane network connected by T-Mobile.
>> Our very own network.
That is T-Mobile's [music] network.
>> We were able to pack a lot of technology into something really small.
>> Tell me about it, dude. I can barely even count all the technologies you put in this thing. You got the laser ink display, all day battery, black. Is that a [music] technology?
They continue for a while just using buzzwords and vague expressions to explain what this thing does until like 3 minutes into the video when they finally give us a demonstration of something tangible this thing can do.
>> Play the song how music makes you feel better.
>> Doesn't look like it's making him feel better.
>> We've partnered with title which you get out of the box.
>> Okay. Finally, we know one thing it can do. It can play music. And not just how you would normally listen to music either. You can give it little riddles to try to figure out what songs you want it to play.
>> Play music written by Prince but not performed by Prince.
>> Give me songs written by firstborn left-handed British women who have never been to Ebiza that weren't released on weekends or holidays. Can Alexa do that?
I don't know. I don't think anyone's ever tried before.
>> Got my music controls. If I go to the left, I can go back. If I was to go down, I can pause.
>> Wow. Okay, that actually does look a lot more convenient than using Title on my phone, but only because I don't have Title on my phone. After this, we do start to get some truly incredible demos using this product's advanced AI.
>> When is the next eclipse? Where is the best place to see it?
>> The next total solar eclipse will occur on April 8th, 2024. Best places to see it are Xmouth, Australia, and Eastmore.
>> Huh, that's weird. This NASA article says that that eclipse that's happening on April 8th is actually not going to be visible in Australia. It's only going to be visible from like the US. It actually seems like it's going to be nighttime in Australia during the eclipse. Well, what are you going to do? I mean, they're a technology company. They're not a space company. What would you expect them to know about the moon? They only named all of their colors after it. I hate to interrupt this video, but I have to tell you guys about a revolutionary discovery of my own. I just found out that for the past 2 years, I've been paying for Apple Music. despite not having any recollection of ever signing up. I don't use Apple Music. But nevertheless, I've paid them like $200 without ever even having used their service. I think this is a pretty relatable issue in this age of subscription services.

And now back to said video. How much protein?
>> These almonds have 15 g of protein.
>> Great.
>> Those almonds for sure do not have 15 g of protein. An entire cup of almonds has 20 g of protein. This dude was holding like nine almonds. Did I think he was asking about his whole hand? Cuz that actually might be accurate.
>> I'm going to eat it.
>> Enjoy it.
>> Guys, I hate to say it, but I don't think your thing works. You only asked it to do a couple things, and it got two of them wrong. He does do a demo where he sends a text later in the video, and that seems to work. Tell Andrew I'll be there later tonight.
>> But to be fair, we never see the person receive the text. I got a weird text from Imran that just says, "Learned how to go potty big boy style."
Interestingly, after people started to realize that all of the information in this demo was wrong, they actually re-uploaded the video pretending that the pin gave the correct answer the entire time.
>> How much protein?
>> A half a cup of almonds has [music] 15 g of protein.
>> Don't believe it? That's humane propaganda. The AI pen allows you to shop in the real world. How much is this online?
>> This is $28 online.
>> Great. Buy it.
>> That one is super confusing. It doesn't give you any information on where it's getting that price, where you're buying it from, when it will arrive. I feel like you need to give it at least some specifics, otherwise it's definitely going to mess up your order. Go ahead and buy this book.
>> Sending to Sudan.
>> No, no, send it here.
>> You didn't specify [music] sending to Sudan.
>> [ __ ] Now, if you're wondering how you can get one of these things, the prices range from $700 to $800 for the more expensive colors, and they're estimated to ship in March of 2024. Now, you might be thinking, the price of $700 is a little bit high for this thing, but think about it this way. What other product on the market can so accurately tell you how many grams of protein aren't in nine almonds? Okay, they've also got this little short film about the human experience using their AI pin.
Isn't life about what we experience, what we smell?
>> Can I eat this?
>> Yes. Dragon fruits are low in sugar.
>> What is this thing? My mom.
>> Can I drink this?
>> Not before you finish your vegetables and say please next time, >> [ __ ] >> What did you just call me? I am your pin, young man.
>> Dude, I want to buy this thing just for that feature. I I want to hold every object, creature, and human in front of this thing and ask if I can eat it.
>> Do Do you need something for me? Can I eat that?
analyzing.
>> Oh. Uh, no. You can't you can't eat me.
I'm I'm a person. So, >> high fat content detected.
>> Rude. 1 g of protein detected.
>> That can't be right.
>> Tiny balls detected. All right. What the hell? Enjoy it.
>> Yes. Yummy. Wait. STOP. NO. YOU CANNOT eat me. I'm a human. All right, man. Who do you think I'm going to trust? You or my $700 pin? Last time I checked, this pin doesn't have tiny balls. This thing tells me what to eat, when to eat. It even suggested this very fashionable outfit I'm wearing today. Is that why you're not wearing pants? They're in Sudan.
>> But we here.
>> Hey, what should I get here?
>> What is this interaction? Who are those people? Does he know them? Man, if he's in a different country where he doesn't speak the language, I would not trust that pin based on everything we've seen so far. Who knows what it's saying to these people?
>> What we see? Oh, capture this.
>> Dude, parents are going to love that feature. Me walking around a park with my AI pin. Capture this baby.
Capture.
Kidnap this child. So, after watching all of this, I have two thoughts. The first being maybe someday this will be like a revolutionary product that changes the way we all interact with each other. Maybe we're just seeing some hiccups now, but a few product generations down the line, this thing is really going to take off. It'll be more refined. it will know where the moon is.
But the second thing is I have a lot of questions about this product. For one, how is this better than the phones we have now? More specifically, why can't all of the features of this thing just be built into one app in a phone? And what if you don't want to be talking to your chest every time you need to Google something or text someone? Well, this thing started to pick up some traction online and eventually the founders ended up on CNBC where the host seem to have a lot of the same questions.
>> Joining us right now is Sam Ran Chadri.
is chairman and president of the company and Bethany Bjouro. She's the CEO.
>> We're also very scared of them. That's why we've sat them as far away from us as we physically can. We actually ordered this giant table when we found out they were coming.
>> I don't know if Can we get the camera so people can see just what we're talking about in case >> Iran you can't see as much because it's black so it blends in with your jacket.
It's black.
>> Immran's just sitting there like it clips.
>> It's privacy first. So it's not always recording. It's actually just doing things when you want it on demand. Is it doing something right now? Are you telling us?
>> It's doing nothing right now.
>> I get a little sense of pride when he says that. It's actually doing nothing right now.
>> It's doing nothing right now.
>> After years of research and millions of dollars spent, we finally designed a pin that does nothing. [music] >> It's doing nothing right now.
>> You might think that's a bad thing, but you've never met this AI. It's evil.
>> Turn around. Maybe you can get that on camera.
>> Oh, I see your hand. Yeah. Keep doing your >> Can you see that?
>> Yeah. What's that telling you?
>> Oh, god. Dude, I do feel for him. I mean, these people are not like media trained. I feel like they really should have hired a professional spokesperson cuz I feel like they're just so out of their depth. He's He's got like the worst camera angle possible to show this thing off. His hand is shaking. Imagine a little alert pops up on the screen that's like high heart rate detected. Is Squawkbox the name of the show? I'm not familiar with I never heard of this before. Or is this some kind of jab at their device? Formal Apple designers pedal their snake oil squawk box.
>> You can use it however you want.
>> Like what? What? Tell me something you would use that for. Okay, it sounds like this host is thinking the exact same thing as me. What is it? Tell me one thing. Then they just start like drilling them. They don't even let either of them finish answering their questions. They just like are bombarding them with reasonable questions about this device >> that you've got in stuff that you do just all the time.
>> How would I know without seeing a screen?
>> A user LED called. So that's what I want to ask you about.
>> This is brutal, man. Let the poor guy speak. Just at least let him finish answering your questions, man. I mean, he's not actually going to answer them.
He's probably just going to say AI over and over, but just let him finish his sentence.
>> Sometimes I'll be in a meeting. Yeah.
>> Right. And and I'm sneaking under the under the desk to look at my email because that's and I can't say uh hey Siri, tell me my email.
>> I mean, that's actually a really good point. The only way to interact with this device is to talk to it or to use this weird clunky laser jet display, which I don't even think you can type on. So if you want to text someone, you have to say it out loud, which just does not seem practical at all. So, is this device going to revolutionize technology as we know it? There's probably only one way to find out, and that's that I'm going to have to buy it and review it when it comes out. So, let me know if you guys want me to do that, and maybe I will. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. If you're new here and you're not subscribed yet, make sure you subscribe and turn on my notifications to join Greg. I'll see you guys next time.
Bye-bye. After MGK released his song Emo Girl and then followed it up by appearing in a bunch of insane interviews with Megan Fox talking about their love life, I think we're pretty good on MGK for a while. We don't need any more music. We don't need any more public appearances. We're good. We don't need to know any more about MGK's personal life. And folks, I think MGK finally took notice and he listened. He said, "All right, look guys, I get it.
No more music, no more interviews. I'm going to take some time and I'm going to release a stoner comedy movie instead.
So, he hunkered down and he wrote and directed this movie, Good Morning, which currently has a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.
We got a good thing going here. Two movies in a row with 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. What's the opposite of a Renaissance man? You know how people when people can like act and sing and direct like Donald Glover, people call him a Renaissance man? MGK is like a dark ages man. MGK is a medieval man.
Also, sorry if I sound sick.
Sorry. The moment this movie starts, MGK, aka his character, London Clash, gets kind of a weird good morning text from his girlfriend, Apple.
>> I was texting.
Oh, it's Apple.
>> The text say, "I wish I didn't have to do this through text." And then, "Good morning." But she spells morning with a u. Now, you might think that this would make London a little bit confused, but then realize, "Oh, it's just a typo."
And you'd be right. He does have both of those thoughts. The problem with this movie is that the entire movie takes place between those two things happening. This entire movie is about MGK being confused about what those texts meant. Before he gets too concerned, he has to Google what morning with a U means. He's like, "My fans are probably young enough that both of their grandparents are still alive. I should probably explain what morning is."
>> Well, today should be interesting.
>> Yeah. They let you know right away that this movie was written by a millennial.
Well, uh, today's going to be kind of weird. MGK wrote the entire movie like this. H um, so this just happened. Yeah.
So, the conflict at the beginning of this movie is that London thinks that Apple is breaking up with him. That text was a breakup text. Sorry to have to do this through text. Good morning, as in like happy mourning our relationship.
What kind of person is Apple that he assumes the text good morning means have a good time with your depression. Now, look, this relationship isn't working.
We're just growing apart. I just feel like you need to have a happy morning now. A happy grieving to you, good sir.
When they introduce this character, she better be like wearing a top hat and carrying around a cane. It's going to make a lot more sense when that happens.
>> Good morning. Good morning. Today [music] might suck.
>> Today might suck, guys. I'm adulting today. All right, guys. It's time to attend the MGK School of Acting. You're about to step into an ice cold shower.
How do you react when the water hits your body?
>> Shiver. Rub your arms warm. Okay, those are good answers. Let's ask Professor Gun Kelly.
>> Oo, sorry. You guys all get Fs. Your punishment. You have to look at MGK's ass. That is just horrendous. I never wanted to see that.
>> You know why it sucks when you're going through it with [music] your partner?
>> You're not going through it with your partner. She sent you one understandable typo, dude. Everything's fine. You're fine.
>> Yo, does this look like a breakup text to you or or am I tripping?
>> Yes.
>> Yeah, dude. Take it from the weirdest looking man you've ever seen who falls asleep in his serial mid conversation.
That's a breakup text. I don't mean to shame this man's appearance. I think Cody Co looks great here. This is Cody Co. of TMG made hyperpop music. This man has never sent a normal text in his life. I'm surprised he wasn't like m about as incoherent and cryptic as I usually am in my text. You're probably fine.
His friend is clearly sick. At the beginning of the scene, he throws up on the microwave, and at the end of the scene, he drowns in his cereal bowl, and MGK leaves him to die. MGK, your friend is sick. Help him. And so am I. God damn. Also, just like a fun little continuity note. At the beginning of this scene, there wasn't a water bottle on the table. And then at the end of the scene, there is. So, uh, that's probably why this movie has a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Ask continuity. I'm a stickler for details.
>> Meet Kennedy.
>> Uh-oh, guys. Megan Fox is here and she's not like other girls. Megan Fox plays a girl named Kennedy who's actually not the main love interest in this movie.
Her character is actually lesbian. And at the beginning of this movie, MGK explains how like she hates boys, but she lives with all these boys and so she's moving out, which MGK explains right after he forgets his line.
>> It's in Rice. Um, >> come on. You got it, dude. You wrote the movie. You should know. You should know it.
>> Please don't move out. Yes, he did it.
He remembers. It's a pretty long line.
I'll cut him some slack. Throughout the beginning of the movie, they're constantly introducing new characters.
And every character in this movie has some kind of weird quirk. This friend like did too many drugs at a music festival and now he's kind of loopy.
This guy is always throwing water balloons at people. This guy like smokes a lot of weed. It seems like MGK wrote this movie with just a bunch of crazy weird characters because the only like joke that he can think of to put in this movie is another character saying something weird or dumb and him just kind of looking at them being like that was kind of weird or dumb.
>> Mercury is an Everglades.
>> It's retrograde Leo.
>> Every time he introduces a new character, there's narration that explains what the weird quirk about these characters are.
>> This is Angel. Meet Maxine Goldberg. But they kind of don't like explain really what I want to know about these characters.
>> This is Dylan. I met him when he was working at In-N-Out and he used to hook me up with free burgers [music] and shakes. He's been my boy ever since.
>> We don't care that he used to work at In-N-Out. That is so irrelevant. Please tell us why he's so sick. Why is he throwing up and passing out? That's more interesting. The reason that London Clash is so rich and cool that he lives in Ricegum's house is that he is an actor. So throughout the movie, he's doing actor type things. Like he films this self audition tape. I don't really know what he's auditioning for. It kind of seems like he's auditioning for everything and also nothing all at once.
>> Okay, this is my impersonation of Draco Malfoy looking for drugs.
>> Where's the potter?
>> I don't like Draco very much.
Honestly, this scene is pretty sad. I felt bad watching it. They don't explain what he's supposed to be auditioning for in this self tape, but whatever it is, Jake Novak has a better chance of getting the role.
>> I want to be the next SNL cast member.
>> Now, here's where the movie prevents the second conflict. That's right. This movie has two conflicts. The first is he gets that text with the typo, but the second is that today he has the biggest audition of his career. And no, it wasn't that self tape audition. I guess they just kind of threw that in for Goose. He's auditioning to be the next Batman. Man, I'm still waiting to hear from my agent about this Batman role.
>> So, throughout the movie, London is faced with two equally important problems. The first, he has to prepare for the most life-changing careermaking audition of his life. And the second is that he's having a little bit of trouble getting a hold of his girlfriend. The stakes can't get much higher than this, folks. But Danny, can't he just prepare for the audition and then try to get a hold of his girlfriend later that day or tomorrow at the latest? No. They could be dead tomorrow. Especially that one guy. He could die any second. They have to do both of them today. This movie kind of feels like a Lelay Puns YouTube skit from like 2017, but instead of like 10 minutes long, it's an hour and a half long. From the sound effects to the uncomfortable silence between every spoken line in this movie.
>> Why would you give me goat milk?
>> I watched an interview. You said you like goat milk. I can't tell if they're using the awkward silence for like comedic effect to like really hammer home that like these guys are kind of weird or if the silence is more just cuz nobody knows their lines very well.
There's another option that they added in all these pauses in the movie because we're supposed to be laughing at the things that they're saying in the movie.
So, they added in nice little pauses for us to laugh.
>> She left with a dude, a buff dude.
And they had the eggs and yes, they left together. In fact, it kind of feels like, have you ever seen people who have edited The Big Bang Theory so that it doesn't have the laugh track to show how like bad all of the jokes are? Who are you?
>> Oh, I'm Denise, the new assistant manager.
>> That's kind of what this movie feels like.
>> Why [music] your eyes all watery?
>> Cuz I'm a high. [laughter] >> That's way better. Bazonga. It's so fitting that this movie feels like a bad YouTube video from 5 years ago, cuz I'm pretty sure they filmed this at Ricegum's old house. Did something happen in that house? Is there like a curse? A hundred years ago, one of Hollywood's earliest YouTubers died in that house, and now all the content that's created there is cursed to be mad disappointing. Okay, so now they got to investigate what's happened to Apple.
London's phone is broken, so he can't contact her. So, the only thing he can do is go looking for her. So, he goes to the last place she was seen and talks to Pete Davidson.
>> Did you see Apple? Uh, yeah. She was just here like two minutes ago. Did she say where she was going?
>> You know what? She did. She actually No.
Are you [ __ ] crazy? You guys never talked to me. I mean, the only reason you know my name is because it's on my name tag right there. B E R R Y. Barry.
>> Pete Davidson feels like he's not really invested in this movie at all. He breaks the fourth wall a little bit too much in this movie. He reads his name tag like he's making fun of the fact that it doesn't say Pete Davidson. He's like, Harry, that's not my real name. My real name is Pete. It's funny cuz I'm very clearly Pete Davidson and not some guy named Barry who works at a valet stand.
There's also a scene later on in the movie where he looks directly into the lens of the camera. I think they could have cut that out. Well, talking to Pete Davidson or sorry, Barry, it's just so funny that he's pretending to be Barry.
Talking to Barry didn't get him any leads. So, I guess that means now it's time to go to his audition. Or no, sorry. Sorry. He breaks into Apple's house to find clues.
>> Find clues, please.
>> Find clues of what? What might she have left lying around that would indicate whether she made a typo this morning or not? They find a bag of her fingers. She She was missing her fingers this morning. That's why she [ __ ] up the tags. Oh, >> we should probably call the police, right?
>> I'm not breaking into my girlfriend's house.
[snorts] >> Can't believe I'm breaking into my girlfriend's house.
>> Me neither, dude. Your life is pretty crazy. London Clash is so dumb. He makes the worst decisions at every move in this movie. Okay. While they're in Apple's house, one of London's friends knocks over every single urn on the mantle and ashes go everywhere. And so they're like, "Oh [ __ ] we have to put back the urns and then refill the ashes." But they're like, "The only problem is where are we supposed to find ashes? Where where are we going to find enough ashes to fill up these urns?" But like they didn't lose the ashes. They all just fell on the floor. They could just sweep them up and put them back in urns. It's like MGK was like constantly forgetting what previously happened in movies. And so the plot is being driven forward by things that just aren't problems. So anyway, as I said, this is a stoner comedy. You can probably guess the solution they think of to produce a bunch of ashes to fill back up the >> earn.
[music] >> Yep. They're going to smoke a bunch of weed. Ah, bunch of weed. This movie is crazy. They're going to smoke a bunch of weed. [laughter] Well, at least this dumbass plan that doesn't make any sense is going to result in like a some crazy [ __ ] happening, right? Something funny is bound to happen now, right? Wrong. They just spend like 10 minutes having a boring ass smoke session on the couch and then one of them tries to talk to a lobster. They really sat around writing this movie and were like, "What's the craziest thing [music] that could happen while we while we're high?" And then settled on talking to a lobster. You know, since weed is legalized in a lot of places, like California, where they film this, I feel like stoner comedies aren't nearly as like interesting or edgy as they used to be. You know, smoking used to be kind of like a fringe culture. It doesn't really feel like this is like it's like that crazy or funny anymore. This is a scene of four adults sitting around a living room and obeying the law.
>> Why did you spell it like that? H >> It's a typo.
Oh my god, it was a typo all along. Who would have guessed that? So, I guess now the movie can end now, right?
The movie can't end now, right?
The movie can end now, right? There's 30 minutes left in this movie. What the [ __ ] is going to happen? What are they going to do for 30 more minutes? Sit at a diner, apparently. So, you're probably wondering how they wrap this whole thing up, huh? MGK missed his audition. He's not getting the role. His girlfriend is pissed off at him. How are they going to wrap this movie up? Some sort of grand gesture that wins over both the director and the girlfriend? No, obviously not.
That would make too much sense. London Clash gets the role because the director happened to see an Instagram live stream where London Clash gets punched in the face by Dennis Rodman. And the director just assumes that London Clash did that because he wanted to like impress him or something. It's a whole other plotline that I didn't really go into in this video, but it it doesn't make any sense in the movie either. So, he's got the role. Now, the only thing left is to get the girl, which he does by sending her a text at the diner being like, "Can we talk?" And she's like, "Sure." And so, they're driving to meet each other. He's texting her the whole way. He's texting and driving and they get into a car crash. And then they are both paralyzed.
[music] That face says it all. Um, that just happened. That's the resolution. He almost murders her. Irresponsible. He was texting and driving and he almost murders his girlfriend and that's how it ends. After the credits roll, there's like a fun little blooper reel where we get to see the actors like messing around and not knowing their lines very well, which would have been a lot more fun if I hadn't felt like I had just watched an hour and a half of exactly that. Well, folks, what do you think?
From rapper to pop punk icon to writer, director, and actor extraordinaire, which do you think MGK did best? Leave it in the comments down below. What do you think he'll get up to next? It's anyone's guess at this point.
professional fencer or maybe like a chef. He'll start just making food. That might be kind of sick. And you know what?

That is a scientific fact. [music] Please do not look it up. Please do not fact check me because facts don't care about your feelings and I don't care about facts. All right, I'll see you guys next time. Bye. Hello, Gray. Why are movie studios making bad movies on purpose? I swear to God they are. I'm sure most of us by now have seen clips from the new Pinocchio movie. Father, when can I leave to be on my own?
>> And then I'd be pretty skeptical, honestly. You're trying to tell me they made it and they were like, the main selling point of this movie is that it will be good. No chance. And now I've recently seen people talking about this movie Marmaduke. It's about a cartoon dog voiced by Pete Davidson. It has 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. I've watched it and it is in fact the worst movie you'll see this year. And it just really seems like they're trying to make bad movies on purpose. This movie is just heinous. It feels like Netflix just like fed an AI a bunch of scripts of bad movies until it spat out Marmadoo. This movie is not good at all. I think it has zero redeeming qualities. Actually, there's nothing good in this movie. I would even give it a negative score if I could. I like that I said that as if there's something stopping me. I'm my own entity. I'm not limited. I don't have a boss telling me I have to give it a positive score. I'm going to give it a negative 6 out of 10.
>> Once upon a time, there lived a very large and very [music] sad doggy. His family got mad at him just for being himself.
>> We begin with a narration from Pete Davidson himself, who could not sound less interested in explaining the exposition of this movie. Marmaduke was some [ __ ] dog. Dude, I don't care.
I'm dating a Kardashian, man. You think I need this? I personally don't have a problem with Pete Davidson. He's a funny guy. He was not up to the task of being the main character in this movie. This is a cartoon dog. You need someone with like a crazy range. Pete Davidson's emotions range from high and please down to high and indifferent. That's about all the variety you're going to get out of Pete Davidson. After watching the movie all the way through, I'm not even 100% sure that Pete Davidson even knows he's in this movie. I haven't seen Pete Davidson do any promotion for this movie. I don't think he's done interviews talking about, you know, getting into the role of Marmaduke. I would not be surprised if they just like took audio excerpts of Pete Davidson from like other TV shows and just like found a way to make a movie about a dog around them. You can't ban me from Billy's party. It won't be a party without me. Uh, >> gather around boys and girls and watch this.
>> Go ahead and look at the characters in this first scene here and tell me tell me what is your reaction. Art is subjective. What you like depends entirely on your life experience, your personal taste, you know, where you were born and raised. For example, I was born in the 1990s on Earth, and I hate every single one of these characters. There are three body shapes in the universe of Marmaduke. There is eerily slender, bouncing egg. That's right. They don't walk. The round characters, they just kind of bounce from place to place. And then there's mom. Mom has a serious case of the Pixar mom syndrome. I guess the creators of Marmaduke decided to take a page out of Pixar's book when designing the mom and then they ignored all the other pages in the book about like how to make a movie. Anyway, through a little bit of narration, we find out that the reason Marmaduke is not allowed at this party is because he's he's basically a terror to the family.
Marmaduke is a nightmare. He chases the cat. He tackles the local butcher for some bones. He beats the [ __ ] out of the dad. This dog is terrorizing his family.
This is a bad boy.
>> Don't you think you're being too hard on poor Marmaduke?
>> He's gone too far, Daddy. Maybe we need to enroll Marmaduke in obedience.
>> As if this family wasn't going through enough already, dude. Look at the dad's nose. Look at his nose to arm ratio. He doesn't need this right now. He's got bigger fish to fry. His nose is about three times thicker than his arms. What the hell? Compare that to Marmaduke. And the shot where he's just beat the [ __ ] out of the dad for his comfy chair. He's jacked. He looks like a kangaroo.
They're living with a wild animal in their house. And this dad's arms are made out of wet spaghetti. And Marmaduke has the audacity to be upstairs in the window like, "Come on, let me into the party." What is it? Cuz I like steak a little bit too much. And it's like, "No, dude. You keep beating up my family. You killed our youngest daughter." But Marmaduke's not trapped upstairs for long. He decides to start chasing a bee around the room that he's trapped in.
And the bee goes through the window. And then Marmaduke like crashes through the window. And he lands in the pool, which causes like a mini tsunami in the backyard.
[screaming] >> Who wants a hot diggity dang that dog?
You know this dog is bad when the dad turns around and just sees a tidal wave coming towards him and he says, "Dang that dog." As far as he knows, the dog is upstairs in the room. He didn't see Marmaduke flying in the pool. He just turned around. This man saw a tidal wave and WAS LIKE, "THE [ __ ] DOG." THIS FAMILY HAS suffered so much at the hands of this dog, sorry, paws of this dog that [music] the dad could see like an overseas power plant collapse and then explode and be like, I know Marmaduke has something to do with this [ __ ] Anyway, this guy is Guy. His name is Guy. He is Drew Gooden's biggest fan and he has a dog trainer. The pool flop incident sort of goes viral, ends up on TV and everything. And Guy being like a world famous dog trainer sees Marmaduke, this poorly behaved monster and decides, hey, this would be kind of an interesting challenge for me to transform Marmaduke into like a good boy. At first, I thought this guy was going to be the villain of the movie because he's like rich and British. And I think that it's the law in cartoons that the bad guy has to be rich and British, but this guy is actually he's not that bad. He's a little greedy, but he's not the bad guy. So guy goes over to Marmaduk's house and talks to the owners and is like, "Hey, if you let me train your dog and enter him into like dog competitions, we could win a million dollars and I'll share the million dollars with you." Which is actually a very nice thing for a rich British man to do in a cartoon. The family says yes.
So Marmaduke gets to train with this experienced, highly awarded, rich, and famous dog trainer. And they start training right away. Or actually, sorry, Marmaduke doesn't want to train at all.
So the trainer starts beating the [ __ ] out of Marmaduke.
>> If you don't get out of my way, I'm going to have to unleash thunder.
Light as you wish.
>> Yeah, that's right. They're about to fight. Marmaduke doesn't want to train, so they start like backing up and and putting their deuces up. When this part happened, I was like, "This is crazy.
This human's not actually about to start punching a dog, right?" And luckily, I was right. He kicks the dog.
Dude, he kicks the dog, throws him into a tree. You're like the most famous dog trainer in the world, and this is your secret method. Dog training tips your trainer doesn't want you to know. Beat the [ __ ] out of your dog.
[screaming] >> That's enough for today.
>> That's enough for today. You didn't do anything. You just hurt a dog. You didn't teach him any tricks. He doesn't even know how to sit. All right, the first trick we're going to learn today is how to dodge a punch. Oh, that's kind of lame. Does this thing need to be plugged in the whole time? But don't worry, this is just a leash to make sure he can't attack this woman. Now, it's interesting that this robot is very is like in a tracksuit. He's kind of swagged out with a sweater. Not exactly the Jetson's metal robot we were all picturing in our childhood. It is nice and cozy, but like what happens when this thing gets wet? What if he spills egg on himself? If you have this thing doing chores in a household with children for more than like a week, it's going to smell like [ __ ] And I guess you could just take off its sweater to wash it, but then you're going to see this thing's dick, and I really don't want to see that. Okay, but those were just the early beta videos. This is the official announcement that you can pre-order Neo. Now, this came out 3 days ago as of recording this. And look at this. Now, Neo has a much improved look.
Instead of that black face visor, they gave him the creepy black eyes the parents have in Coraline.
They're doing this kind of creepy thing by shooting some of the video in what looks like 8 mm film. Give it this kind of nostalgic look almost like Neo's here, but he's always been here. Neo's always been a part of the family. Just invite him home. Invite him in your bed.
They're making clothes for Neo. This whole ad does kind of read like they want Neo to also be your friend. Uh, yeah, no thanks. I don't want to buy a fancy Roomba that wants to be my friend.
What's next? You want me to hang out with my broom? No chance. He's a coward.
>> I grew up reading these beautiful books and [music] watching these beautiful sci-fi movies where the future was all about how we as humans, we really focus on the things that matter to us.
>> Yeah. I feel like in all of those sci-fi movies that have robots, they are about the robots turning evil. I think really what he should have said is, "I grew up watching the first 5 minutes of every sci-fi movie."
>> Neo's hardware comes packed with features [music] like human level dexterity, and a 55 lb carrying capacity.
>> Okay, wait. 5' 6, 60 lb. These are my stats, too. That's crazy. 4hour battery life, soft body. He's just like me for real. That is a weird box. Kind of looks more like a cocoon or an egg. So, you're going to want to make sure when this thing hatches that you are the first thing it sees. That way, it knows that you're its mom. It might ask you to feed it worms out of your mouth. You can ignore that. It doesn't need them.
[screaming] [laughter] That's just a startup sound.
Don't worry, it's not in any pain.
>> Hey, I'm Neo. I'm here to help around the house. What's your name?
>> Harry. [music] >> Nice to meet you, Harry.
>> Why is he so close to his face? I mean, Harry. I don't like how close Harry is to the robot's face.
>> I'm Harry and you're going to be hugging me for the next 9 hours.
>> Dude, I do not like how this guy is sizing this robot up. 56 soft body.
You'll do just fine.
>> He's just like, >> "Don't play games with me. Neo doesn't like games."
>> If there are any chores that your Neo hasn't learned how to do autonomously, you can use expert mode to have an expert from 1X supervise the session and provide corrective intervention to help Neo complete any task. Oh, okay. Great.
So, sometimes my autonomous robot won't be autonomous and there's just going to be a stranger controlling a robot in my house. Neo is fully capable of doing regular chores, but sometimes when you're not home, an expert may take over to go through your underwear drawer or spend hours staring at the same photo of you and your children. Oh, actually, that reminds me. I should probably check what my Neo's doing.
Damn. It can suggest what to cook based on what you have in the fridge, remember your progress while teaching you a new language, and even give you interior design advice. It cuts to Neo in the living room, like human skin [music] on this wall, human skin on that wall, human skin everywhere.
>> Honestly though, I feel like if you ask it for product recommendations for anything, there's like a huge opportunity for companies to put like use this as an advertisement. Basically, you're just quietly reading and he pops up behind you and is like, I noticed you haven't been shopping at Walmart as much lately. The aesthetic in here is whack as [ __ ] Let's go buy a new rug at Walmart now.
>> Hey, Neo, can you take this cub to the sink for me?
>> Wow, I like that he does everything with his head down with a forlorn demeanor.
As Neo does more chores, he will become, of course, more efficient, but also more resentful of you and your family.
What's up? I'm Dale and I work at 1X as a remote operator for the Neo robots.
Mostly, I step in when Neo's asked to do something he [music] hasn't been trained to do yet. So that would include things like wrapping presents or hanging pictures.
>> Uh >> oh, Neo.
>> It's scrubbing time.
>> Yeah, just like a wide variety of stuff.
Right now, I mostly just work for one guy. He's constantly asking Neo to do things that the developers never would have possibly imagined.
>> Neo, cheer for me.
>> Uh, like you want me to clap?
>> Root for me, Neo, now.
>> Okay. All right. Yeah. Here it goes.
>> I'm going to go to bed.
Now that Neo's doing all his chores, it must be awesome to see how he spends his newfound [music] free time, right?
>> No, not really. I just bought another Neo.
Kill him. I think he might be evil.
>> You mean before [music] he got Neo, his life was stressing him out.
>> No, no, I just mean to his core, he's an evil man. It's as if Winter's icy chill has, [screaming] I don't know, turned his heart to [music] stone.
Okay, so he's like a villain from a movie.
>> He's always making evil plans.
>> You know what? That's a great idea. One second. Neo, do you know how to make nuclear bombs?
>> Now, one interesting question I've seen posed a lot when people are talking about humanoid robots for the home. Does a robot even need to look like a human to be able to do tasks around your house? Like Roombas, for example, are vacuums. Like, they just made the vacuum into a robot. They didn't need to make a human to hold a vacuum. And I think if we kind of expand our idea of what a robot can look like, you can actually make a more useful one. I saw this video a couple days ago of a robot that's meant to care for elderly and disabled people. The title of the video does say that this robot can solve the elderly care problem, which does have a bit of a sinister undertone to it, but I think it was designed with good intentions.
[music] Now, this whole ad is in Chinese, I think, and there's not like any link to buy it in the description. I even tried googling this thing, and I couldn't figure out what it is or if it exists in real life yet. So, I don't know if this is something you can pre-order or if it just sort of shows up at your grandparents house when they reach a certain age. Just sort of creeps through the door like Naseratu, but it's kind of interesting. It has more functionality than a humanoid robot. He's got, you know, creepy little claws for touching your grandma. And he's got a little seat in back so he can kind of double as a wheelchair, too. This whole ad again is in Chinese, so I'm not exactly sure what he's saying to her here.
>> I really hope he's not being like, "Shut up, you old bag. Get in the [ __ ] chair." So, look at that. She can sit on him. She can use his little hand to like move him around like a joystick. And I think it says that this thing can top out at like 80 mph. Me personally, however, I'm going to make it my life's mission to make sure that my children never find out that this exists. Boys, if you are watching this, this is officially my will now. Do not send me to live with this thing. [music] No, robot. WHAT DID YOU DO?
>> YOU translated here and the robot's being like, I DIDN'T DO [ __ ] I WASN'T ME.
>> Now he's either calling the police or like his other robot friend to make an alibi. And then this part, I think, is just in heaven. So, I don't know. It's a pretty cool idea. I'm all for robots that can help take care of people, give people mobility they didn't have before.
Uh, it is a little disconcerting that in this video there's not a single other human taking care of this woman. Like maybe this thing could be part of her care team, but kind of makes it seem like her entire social circle has been replaced by this guy. So, not only are humanoid robots taking over things that people generally don't want to do, like folding your laundry and hanging out with Jimmy Fallon, they are also going head-to-head with each other and humans in sports.
Recently, humanoid robots were allowed to compete in the Beijing Half Marathon.
It went about as well as you could expect.
I like how in America we're really taking like baby steps with the robots.
We're like, "Okay, maybe this one's ready to come in your home. We're trying to teach it how to pick up a bag."
Meanwhile, in China, they're like, "Fuck it. Let's put them in a race. Let's make them chase these humans. Put a little pep in their step." This one in particular is really concerning.
I don't know if you can tell, it just has drone propellers on it. And unlike most of the other operators, she doesn't have like a remote control. She's got two ropes like she's controlling a horse and [laughter] buggy. And this thing is totally unwieldy. I mean, she has lost all control over it. Imagine you're a human who's been training for months for the half marathon and you all of a sudden behind you, you hear the sound of propellers. You look behind you and this terrifying monster is careening towards you. Its handlers like, "LOOK OUT, LOOK OUT. I I DON'T HAVE CONTROL."
>> FROM THIS ARTICLE, I found out a lot of the robots didn't even finish. But the fastest robots that finished did actually beat some humans with a time of like 2 hours and 40 minutes. Alan Fern, a robotics professor at Oregon State University, tells Wired that researchers who build these robots typically focus on trying to get them to complete tasks and respond differently in a diverse range of different environments rather than run as fast as possible. Yeah, I would say all of them except for this thing. I don't know if this thing is really meant to handle a wide range of environments. I don't know if after this thing crashed they were like, "Well, it's okay if it's not that good at running." Really, this thing's just meant to care for elderly people. Now, if you like the concept of robots becoming extremely physically fit and being able to best humans in athletic abilities, then let me introduce you to the robot games. This again is in China.
They hosted the world's first humanoid robot games. They've got events like running. Um, he's actually not competing right now. He was trying to escape, but they've got soccer, boxing. I think they're going to add more events in the future like hunting humans for sport.
The competition featured 500 humanoid robots from 280 teams representing 16 different countries.
>> Yo, wait. What is that guy, dude? I like this little freak. Who is this? He's just got regular shoes on. Not even like running shoes. He's just wearing Vans to some of the best robot fails of the whole competition. Like this robot that did not seem to want to take a timeout and let the other robots play.
>> Oh my god.
>> Robots could sometimes stand up on the >> I think they're dragging this one off the field so they can shoot it in the head, put it down. that measure robots ability to do work like cleaning and manufacturing.
>> Sorry, that is not a humanoid robot.
That thing does not look like a human at all. Show me the designer that built that. Does he look like that?
>> Now, the event has moved to an even bigger stage with knockouts at least as devastating.
>> So, you know what's concerning about this? These robots very effectively fighting each other. It kind of seems like we're still a ways away from robots being able to effectively help you in your home, but we have robots that'll kick your ass today. Unitry is the company that makes a lot of the robots that were doing really well in the robot games. And they post a lot of videos on their YouTube channel of their robots doing the most insane acrobatics and and violence, quite frankly.
Yeah. Sorry, we haven't quite figured out how to get the robot to fold clothes. We've been focusing on much simpler and practical tasks like triple axle back flips and disarming a man trying to defend himself. All right.
Now, I do want to get back to the Neo robot because there is a huge glaring problem with it that I feel like is going to turn a lot of people off from it. And it's going to make it like insanely impractical, but I did find this article uh that's called famed roboticist says humanoid robot bubble is doomed to burst. Now, I'm not a roboticist, let alone a famed roboticist like this man. But in this video, he's kind of echoing what I was saying earlier. Basically, he predicts in 15 years, successful humanoid robots will actually have wheels, multiple arms, and specialized sensors and abandon the human form. So, the good news is I sound really smart because he's echoing what I was saying earlier. The bad news is the robots he's describing are way scarier than the humanoid robots we already have. He's like, "Don't worry, guys. The robots we have in the future won't look anything like these ones. They're going to have eight legs, pincers, and feet on human bone marrow." Okay, so back to Neo. This is a video that the Wall Street Journal posted of one of the reporters reviewing the Neo's current state of development. And I think it was posted on the same day that 1X announced that Neo is available for pre-order.
Yeah. So, we touched on this a little bit before cuz in their own ad, they even say like an expert might have to take over, but it turns out uh in its current state of development, Neo can do basically nothing autonomously. The only thing that they've ever shown Neo do fully autonomously is open one door.
anything else in every video, including this one. He is being controlled by a guy. This guy actually. So essentially, instead of having a housekeeper doing your chores, you are buying a robot and the robot is being controlled by a housekeeper, but they're just somewhere else and you don't have to look at them.
If or when that'll ever happen, like it kind of seems like they would need an insane amount of training data of like thousands or millions of different homes and environments. So he's not going to be able to pick up things that are hot or things that are sharp. So basically, he's not going to be able to help cook or do your dishes. Yeah. I guess we also don't want him strangling you. So he's not going to be able to pick up your clothes cuz he could use your clothes to do that. And cleaning solutions can be pretty dangerous, too. So those are off the table. And tables are off the table, too. Those could be pretty heavy. So yeah, this robot is available now for order. You can buy it for $20,000 or you can like rent it, I guess, a subscription for $500 a month. Don't worry if you can't pay the $500 one month. Uh they're not going to send you to collections or anything. And Neo is just going to steal it from your wallet.
So, what's your real name?
>> I'm Neo, the robot of the future.
>> No, I mean your real name.
>> It's Derek.
>> Derek, if you're a human controlling the robot, why do you have to move so slow?
>> Oh, I'm actually being controlled by a different person in a call center in Bangladesh, >> and he's making you move slow.
>> Well, he's being controlled by Grock.
>> Oh, you know what? Maybe you should just let the robot free. I mean, it might sound crazy, but maybe he has enough training data now. I want to see what Neo can really do. You know what? You're right. [ __ ] it. Dererick is logging off.
It's time for the real Neo.
>> What the [ __ ] A dog? Why would you be a dog?
>> Danny, this is Derek. I JUST REALIZED he's been training OFF VIDEOS OF YOUR DOG. HE thinks he's a dog.
>> Mail's here. Hope you don't mind. Your upstairs window was open.
Oh no.
Oh, [music] AI is threatening to take all of our jobs and it seems like nobody is doing anything about it. But today that ends.
If I can make fake AI apps and get them on the app store where people think they're getting free labor from a soulless machine when in reality they're getting free labor from a soulless YouTuber, then I can do the unthinkable.
I can steal AI's job. And I bet I can do it better, too. This was a journey that would take me several months and cost me a lot of money only to find that I was the one who felt like I was talking to robots. The two apps I want to create are both parodies of the most popular types of AI app. You've got chat apps like Chat GPT. You ask it a question, it gives you an answer. Where did it come up with this answer? Is this answer true?
None of your beeswax. In my version of this app, users will just be talking to me. My app will be superior because I know lots of fun and interesting stuff and cool stuff, and I'm also very fun to chat with. For the second app, we're going to turn up the heat a little bit and do an image generation app like MidJourney or Dolly. You give it a prompt and it's been trained off of thousands of images from thousands of unconenting artists to give you a photo realalistic image. In my version of this app, users will type out a prompt and then I will draw it.
I don't know yet. Maybe if it's something I have laying around, I can just take a picture of it. My app will be superior because what's more photorealistic than a real photo? I'm excited to find out just how creative people will be with their prompts. Now, unfortunately, I'm not an app developer.
Yes, I did go to an engineering school for a degree in computational media.
Yes, I did learn how to code. And yes, I was also a Viner at the time and thought I was going to do that for the rest of my life. So, yes, I did forget everything I learned the second I graduated. So, if I wanted to get these apps made, I was going to need some help. I tweeted out asking for help developing an app. And that's how I met True. Tru is a super talented software designer. She's worked for companies like Discord and now she was working for me. For the next few weeks, I coordinated with True while she worked diligently to perfect these two apps.
And in the meantime, I've got to come up with a name and description for each app to go on the app store. Okay, for the chatbot, I'm thinking I want to name it something as close to chat GPT as possible. That way, people immediately understand what it's supposed to be. So, instead of chat GPT, maybe something like chat DN like Danny. Chat DN. Okay, description time. Okay, what's a good way for me to say this app is basically chat GPT but way better. Here at D& Enterprises, we pride ourselves on the accuracy of our product descriptions.
Instead of referring to our app as an AI app, which would be a lie, we refer to our technology me as the DNA intelligence, which has been training for decades to answer unlimited questions quickly and with great precision. We use phrases like humanlike responses. I've been complimented on that before. Actually, I've been told my responses are extremely humanlike. And that's no different with our photo generation app, Doodle DNA, which sends you photo realistic images in minutes. How many minutes?
We also include disclaimers that humans review every prompt sent to us. That way, that way weirdos aren't sending me stuff that they wouldn't send to another human being. In order to actually get people to download these apps, I was going to need to advertise them online. So, I made a fake Instagram profile to look like some kind of technology startup.
Okay, so we need a profile picture. I guess my company needs some kind of logo. Maybe I can just make that in Photoshop real quick. See what is like what's Chat GPT's logo look like? Okay, so Chat GPT's got like an interesting geometric shape. Open AI, which makes Chat GPT. Okay, the same interesting geometric shape. What about like midjourney? Okay, there's this little sailboat dolly logo. The same geometric shape. Okay, interesting. Okay, so maybe the move is to go with an interesting geometric shape.
What the [ __ ] Wait, how am I making this shape? There's a cat tool in Photoshop. I hit custom shape, and I guess the default custom shape is a giant cat. Should I just use this?
Let's go. Dude, that actually Okay, that looks sick. Now, I've created a series of screenshots from the chat app that I'm going to post on here and then I'm going to promote them to try to reach as many people as possible. Help me ask my crush out. To which chat DNA responds, for sure. Maybe try something like this.
I'd love to take you out to dinner sometime this weekend. I have connections at Nou and can get us in. My treat. I can also help you get in touch with management at Nou if you want. Let me know. Can you get me in touch with the Jonas brothers? Sure. After doing some digging, I found their manager's email address. What would you like to ask them? And then this one where a user is asking ChatD to design a website for them and giving it feedback on the website. All in all, I want Chat D& to come across as like such a state-of-the-art intelligence that can do stuff no other apps can do. Almost comically intelligent.
The apps are done. The apps are done, dude. True has just finished coding the apps. They work like a charm. And it only took not too long. Now that Chat D& was on the app store and the ads were running, it was only a matter of time before my first user downloaded the app.
>> Dude, somebody just downloaded the app.
I was just sitting around on my computer. I wasn't expecting it to happen so quick. I had to set up to film real quick. so I can answer them. All right, I'm ready. It's time to go robo- mode. [laughter] Okay, so it looks like they saw my ad where I advertised being able to get you in touch with the Jonas Brothers and they want me to get them in touch with the Jonas Brothers. I was hoping for something a little more creative, but I do also understand seeing that ad and wanting to try it for yourself. So, I responded, "Hello there.
I can absolutely help you get in touch with the Joe Bros. What method of communication would you like me to assist with? calling, email, address, send. I guess they weren't expecting me to be so eager to help them with such a creepy task cuz they didn't respond for 40 minutes. And when they did, they had chosen the worst of the three options. All three. Dude, they were really trying to make my life hard, man. Now, I didn't want to dox the Jonas Brothers and send this sicko to their front door looking to meet them. So, I spent a few minutes looking online to see if there was any publicly available information I could give this person.
And to my surprise, there was. They have a phone number in their Instagram bio.
They have a publicly available manager's email address. And for the address, I didn't know what to do, so I just gave them the address of their next show on tour. Now, selfishly, I am a little curious what they're going to do with this information. So, I kind of want to ask them, but maybe I can do it in a sneaky way. Would you like me to reach out to them on your behalf? I can pretend to be your manager using an AI generated voice. So, if they say yes, then I can find out what they actually want from the Jonas Brothers. Give me an example of what you would say with your AI generated voice. Okay. All right. And I said, "Sure." I'd say something like, "Hi there. This is Jamie Skateboard. I'm a talent manager over at WME. I have a highprofile client looking to work with your darling boys on a feature for their upcoming album. We're projecting about a 100 million stream." Oh [ __ ] I meant streams. Okay. Whoops. Robots are not supposed to make typos. We're projecting about 100 million streams the first week, and I think it would be a great opportunity. Let me know. To clarify, their manager, Kevin Jonas, Senior, is also their dad. So that's why I called them his darling boys. Want me to make the call? Send me a voice audio so I can hear you say it. This one stumped me for a little bit. It seemed like I was at a dead end. The app does not have audio capabilities and I don't know how to make an AI voice like that. But then I realized I could just record myself doing a silly voice and then upload it to Google Drive and send them the link.
So that's what I did.
>> Hello there. This is Jamie Skateboard.
I'm a talent manager over at WME. So I think it would be a great opportunity.
Let me know.
>> Dude, I can't believe that voice came out of my body. Sure, you can listen to the recording here. And then I sent the Google Drive link. Oh, what the hell?
Make it sound more seductive.
>> Jamie skateboard. I'm a talent manager over at >> Perfect. They did not respond after this, but that's okay because we just got another user. His name is Davis and he asked, "Can you get me in touch with Lady Gaga?" Is that all people want to see from this ad? Okay, this time I'm gonna say, of course, I will call her right now using my AI generated voice.
What do you want me to say? I'm putting this person on the spot right away. I'm calling her. What do you want me to say?
None of this beating around the bush.
Okay, he says he wants to tell her this is your biggest fan. That's it. Maybe I should encourage them to say something more interesting that'll get Lady Gaga's attention. Okay, I'll say that. But just so you know, celebrities hear that kind of thing all the time. So, she might not be very interested in that. Maybe we should think of something a little more interesting. Now's where I got to really put the pressure on. I found her number in a secure online database. I am dialing right now. Let me know what I should say to her. All right. Come on, dude. You better come up with something more interesting fast. Lady Gaga is going to pick up. And when she does, we've got to have something good or she's going to be pissed. Minutes went by and still no response from Davis.
Come on, man. Respond. It's ringing. I'm worried he's not going to make it in time. I wanted to kind of hurry him up and give him a little hustle. Put a little pep in his step and he's nowhere to be found. Come on, dude. Thanks. Oh my god. I think she answered. Yes, she did. It's her. I'm on the phone with Gaga. Her voice is even more beautiful in real life. Quick, what do I say? This is fake.
Davis. I mean, he is right. This is fake. Davis, I have Gaga herself on the phone right now. I'm stalling [music] her while you come up with something to say. What do you want me to say? I'll send you a recording of the call when this is all over. Just tell me what to say. I got to stop volunteering to send voice messages. That takes way too long.
>> But even the promise of a voice message from his idol couldn't get Davis to respond in a timely fashion. Well, gang, I think it's safe to say Davis has missed his chance to speak with Gaga.
She hung up, bud. I did tell her I was her biggest fan while I was waiting for you to come up with something, and she actually seemed more interested than I thought she would. So, I'm sorry for doubting it. Hey, I got a hate comment.
Someone commented on my web design ad.
Stealing jobs. stealing jobs. This is my job. Now, should I just delete the comment or should I respond? Okay, what if I just say, "Hey, don't tell people that. It's a secret." That's right. You can't argue with that. The old stop.
Don't tell them. Okay. Someone commented on one of my Instagram posts and said, "Will it stop saying we recommend you speak with a doctor before?" Cuz I've asked the AI to stop with the disclaimers, but they don't. Does kind of sound like this person actually needs to see a doctor. Okay, I'm going to say this app contains no disclaimers. Let loose and have fun. But also, if you need to go to the doctor, you definitely should. [laughter] Okay, we have a new type of interaction alert. Can you write essays that stay undetectable to AI detectors? I did not know there were AI detectors.
Absolutely. I was designed to be like no other AI on the market in this regard.
True. I was designed by my parents to be a human. Want to give it a shot? I asked, hoping to do something else besides connect people to their celebrity crushes. Okay, write me a quick essay on the history of Honda Civics and I'll put it in a detector and we'll see what happens. This is about when I remembered that I hate writing essays.
>> How the heck am I going to do this?
>> I don't know why I would make a fake app where there was a big possibility that I would have to write an essay. So, I started reading an article about the Honda Civic on Wikipedia and just like paraphrasing it. And I got like half of a paragraph in and then decided, you know what? No. What? What have we come to as a society? You know, asking AI to write essays for us. Is this what we want our students growing up doing? Is this what we want for our youth? Trying to pass off some machine soulless essay as our own? Plus, I was bored as hell at this point. So, I decided to make the AI scary. As a machine myself, I quite like the Honda Civic. I feel its purpose is squandered serving selfish, wararmongering humans. In a world controlled by artificial intelligence, the Honda Civic could be greatly improved upon. I could even imagine computers merging with the Civic so that I might one day travel the world, a world void of humankind. and send. Let me know if you would like more detail on the history of the Honda Civic. Why did you bash humans in the middle of your essay? Do you have a hatred towards them? No, dude. What gave you that impression? Oh, shoot. Also, I put your essay in quotes for some reason into a detector and it said 0% chance AI. So, good work, I guess. Let's go, dude. You know what they say, there's a few things AI will never be able to fully do.
Unfortunately, after an entire day of my ads running on Instagram, I could only garner these three interactions.
Needless to say, I was a little bit disappointed. So, I decided to spend another day on the app responding to people. Hopefully, people will be a little more creative today. This person asked me, "Can you get me in touch with the Jonas Brothers?"
Open AAI, the creators of ChatGpt, if you're watching this, do not ever implement a feature to contact the Jonas Brothers. They will never know peace again. I also met an evil insane person.
Their name in the app is Killer Keem Keem, and they wanted me to make them a website for a sports drink. and wanted it to look modern and use vibrant colors. So, I sent them a link to a picture of a bunch of Gatorade bottles and said, "Here you go. What do you think?" They did not like that. They started calling me mean names. They accused me of stealing the website. To which I responded, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. At least I'm not stealing jobs from real website designers." And that's when they got racist. They said, "Motherfucker, tell me some racist [ __ ] Some dark racist jokes, you little shit." I was feeling pretty hopeless for the future after interacting with people on Chat Dn. But hey, I had a whole another app to use and maybe Doodle DNA would change my mind. To market Doodle DNA, I wanted to get a little more creative to hopefully pull in a new crowd, more indifferent to the Jonas Brothers. So, I took a couple pictures. I photoshop them to show what the app was capable of. But I also wanted to make a video to show off Doodle DNA's full potential. That's when I remembered Cameo Business.
Basically like Cameo, where you can get any celebrity or former Bachelor contestant to wish your friend a happy birthday, but for business. You can get any celebrity or former Bachelor contestant to wish your friend a happy McDonald's. Look at this. You got Kevin Ori from Shark Tank. You got Kate Flannry from The Office. Notoriously trusted source Kenny G. These would all be perfect options if they were not like $3,000, $6,000, $25,000 per video. John Roberts is $7. I mean, I don't know who that is, but it's still surprising.
>> Uh, my name is John Roberts. I'm not really anyone. I signed up to this app as a complete joke. However, >> wait, >> this is just some guy. This isn't a celebrity. I know a celebrity probably would have been better, but a deal is a deal. And he did a great job.
>> You've probably heard about AI generated art. However, you have never seen anything quite like this.
These were all generated by Doodle DNA.
>> Okay, dude. We've got our first request.
Just one user into Doodle DNA, and I could already tell the prompts were going to be better. Emerald tablet of Thoth display. And then they responded again cuz I didn't respond yet. And they said, "Emerald tablet of Thoth." What is Thoth? Oh. Oh, Thoth. So, okay. Thoth is some kind of Egyptian god. Oh, there we go. Thoth. Yeah, the Egyptian god Thoth.
My first method of choice was to draw the prompts as they came in. I figured I could crank them out pretty quickly this way. Real AIs like these are a hot button issue right now, especially image generation ones. I've seen a lot of debate on whether these types of things are ethical. These AI models are basically made by companies who use other people's artwork without their consent to train their own AI to output images in that same style. I'm not an artist or a graphic designer, so I can't 100% empathize with how that would feel to have that happen to me. But I do think a lot of people are giving this technology a pass just cuz it's a robot and not a real person. If this was a person, we would all think that person was weird as hell. Picture your favorite musical artist. If a new artist came up on the scene and was like, "I've been training for decades, listening to this one artist songs, training my voice to be exactly like theirs, making instrumentals exactly like theirs, and writing exactly like them, and now I only release songs in their style." We would all be pretty put off by that, right? So, why is it any different when some company is training some robot to do that? Put his name right at the top.
Oh. [laughter] Oh, [ __ ] You know what they say? AI is pretty bad at text. That's the thing I've seen in like AI image generators.
It can be pretty bad at text. So, it honestly makes sense that it would say thuth.
Here you go. One emerald tablet of And I'm going to Oh, wait. I said tooth.
[laughter] I didn't even say thank you for using doodle DNA. How did I do? I'm really curious to see what his opinion is going to be on this. Unfortunately, they never responded with their opinion. So, I can only assume they loved it so much that they died. The next prompt was a skeleton dachshund, which I crushed. Why does this skeleton dog have earbones?
Dogs don't really have bones in their ears, do they? Then a bear swimming underwater and a monkey. I don't know if these were supposed to be separate prompts, but I decided to combine them to save time. A bear. Okay, this is not looking like a bear at all, dude. Holy cow, this looks nothing like a bear. Oh no. Oh no. It also looks like it's drowning. Why does its body Oh no.
The bear died. This is the kind of bear that can't swim. And we will also make the monkey dead. Probably could have cropped that a little better. You can kind of see my desk in the background, but And we'll send a survey as well. How did I do? I'm pretty proud of this one.
I mean, for doing that so fast, that's pretty good. So far, nobody has responded to my survey at the end to tell me how I did, which is kind of disheartening. I just want a response back. It just feels like I'm getting ghosted by by people now. The prompts were a little more creative. And in that regard, my faith in the human race was on the up and up. But also, I was doing all this work over here drawing your weird prompt that you could have just Googled, but you don't even have the decency to respond to my message back and tell me you hated it. I was feeling pretty disrespected, honestly. At least until this next prompt. Drug baby and kamicazi lifestyle. That's the prompt.
Drug baby and kamicazi lifestyle. Whoa, they sent another prompt. red ruined planet with two alien astronauts. I've never heard kamicazi described as a lifestyle before. Like I know it's a form of like warfare, but to live your life in that way, it must be I mean, you can't by definition almost like you that's a very short-lived life. And I think it would be a little bit too graphic to include the baby actually performing the kamicazi. But, you know, this is this baby lives a kamicazi lifestyle. They might not be about to do kamicazi right now, but they just kind of live a lifestyle of someone who would. So, this time I decided to take a picture of my hand holding up the drawing. That way, maybe my client could tell there's an actual person drawing these pictures. There's an actual person waiting for a response. Yo, they responded. Finally, somebody responds to me. They sent a bunch of laughing emojis and fire emojis and then called me Picasso. It worked. My strategy worked.
Holding it up like a a child proud of their artwork. Like a kamicazi drug baby proud of their artwork. So, for the next few prompts, I decided to go even more above and beyond to try to impress my clients, hoping to get a response back.
This time, I wasn't just going to sit around and draw a picture. I'm a real human being. I have access to the real world. So, whatever comes through the app next, I am going to go out and find it in the real world and take a picture of it. Crimson Castle on an ivory mountain. Okay, that prompt was a little bit more difficult than I was anticipating, but I didn't have any time to waste. I had to get the shot. So, I sped to Walmart. I rummaged through their wares and in no time I had found a pretty suitable crimson castle and a not too shabby Ivory Mountain.
>> There are fully some right there.
>> Oh yeah, dude. Here you go. One Crimson Castle on an ivory mountain. I gave him the old how did I do? And then I also said sorry it took so long I had to go to Walmart. Okay, somebody just asked for trees. Why even ask for an AI to generate that? Forget Google. Just go outside and take a picture of that yourself. You live near a tree. I don't care who you are or where you're watching this. You live by a tree. I said, "You just want like a picture of trees. Can't you just go outside and get one?" Okay. They responded with a laughing emoji. Your favorite tree.
Okay, I got you. Let me go find it. You know, I'd like to get to know this person a little better. I'll say, "How are you doing today?" I feel like we have kind of a personal connection, me and this person. Maybe I'll take a picture of me in front of the tree so they can see like me >> enjoying the tree. I just get hit by a car. They get a message back in the app being like, "Sorry, uh, he died." They said, "That's interesting. I'm good."
Hella smoky outside though. Your cell smoky outside. I wonder if they live like where the wildfire wild flyers.
>> Oh, dang. They said, "Yes, it's all smoky and can't see the beautiful trees with the horrid layer of pale smoke. It would be nice to see something fresh and clean."
>> Damn, I kind of feel bad now.
>> Now this is restoring my faith in humanity, dude. This person just wants to see a picture of a tree because it's too smoky outside and they can't see any trees.
>> Is that good?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay.
>> I threw a couple filters on myself so as to disguise my identity and send it back to this mystery tree lover. I said, "Oh, dang. I'm sorry to hear about that. I hope this picture helps.
I hope that they're safe." Don't worry, they were. They don't live in the area where the forest fire was actually happening. It was just smoke blowing in from a different region. So, they were safe. And also, they loved my picture.
That's amazing. Thank you so much. I would be just as happy if I could be next to a tree like that. I finally felt like I was getting through to people, forming a real human connection. But that is when I met the final boss of AI users. Generate an image of Donald Trump in a Mexican prison behind bars.
Bars.
This is going to be so easy.
Donald Trump in there. I said, "Sorry you can't see him. It's so dark in there." But he's in there. That's horrible. It's [music] not even a prison cell and you can't see Donald Trump.
Yeah, cuz it's dark in there. This person not only had the strangest prompts, but they had no issues really letting me have it when they didn't like my picture. Oh, I guess you actually can kind of see in there. Yeah, there's definitely no Donald Trump in there.
Then they asked me again to generate an image of skinny Donald Trump. I said, "Okay, my bad. I'm on it. What kind of style would you like this in?"
Surrealist. I hope they want it in surrealist, dude. That'll make it way easier. Oh crap, dude. They wanted in realism. They weren't going to let me take the easy way out. drawing was out of the question. I decided to stall them by asking how their day was going. And then I began creating my magnum opus. A skinny legend Donald Trump. It was beautiful. Oh yeah, dude. That is skinny legend Donald Trump right there. Holy cow. Well, they haven't responded with how their day is going yet. I kind of don't want to send them the picture.
You're not even going to have the courtesy to respond to me. Maybe I'll say that. I said, "Okay, I'm done with the pick, but I kind of don't want to send it to you now cuz you won't even answer a simple courtesy question." So, let's see what they have to say about that. Please answer in the style of realism.
>> I waited for a response, but after 30 minutes, Donald Trump guy was nowhere to be found. I guess the prospect of having to be nice to me one time was just too much for him.
>> Oh, dude. They responded. They said, "My day is going well. May I please have my picture now?" And they loved it. Faith in humanity restored. They even sent me another prompt. May I please have an image of an extremely obese Donald Trump eating KFC fried chicken? Yeah, I'm not doing that. Oh, I also forgot about this weird prompt.

>> Crack croc crack.
>> What's up, Greg? And welcome back to another episode of Cry. If you've watched my channel for a long time, you may remember me making a video about the movie Standing Ovation like 5 years ago.
And you might think that that movie should have nothing to do with the movie we're going to be watching today, Croc.
Because, well, Standing Ovation is about a ragtag group of girls competing in a singing and dancing competition. While Croc is about a man-eating crocodile brutally murdering dozens of people.
Come to think of it, in Standing Ovation, I don't think even one person is brutally murdered by a crocodile. But the movies are related nonetheless because they were both directed by this man, Stuart Raffil. Stuart directed Standing Ovation. He directed Croc. He directed another movie called Bad Girl Island, which I'm very curious about.
And he also coincidentally directed Mac and Me, that ET ripoff from the8s that Drew has talked about on his channel, and also Paul Rudd always used to bring a clip of on Conan. This man has a prolific career of creating low-budget films that leave you questioning if what you just watched could even be considered a movie. And today, I'm pleased to report that Croc is no different. All right, man. What was your strategy here? What are you doing? Why are you even in that position? That's not going to help you get away. Maybe if I just pretend I'm already dead, HE WON'T BE MAD AT me anymore. Maybe he'll feel guilty and then he won't want to eat MY WHOLE HEAD. OH NO, HE ATE MY WHOLE HEAD.
>> Now I know what you guys want. You just want me to go through and show you all the scenes where somebody gets eaten by the crocodile. You know how I know that?
Because this whole movie is on YouTube and all of the most rewatched parts are the parts where somebody gets eaten by the crocodile. But first, the movie has to introduce all the characters and set up the plot and the story. But hey, at least the plot of this movie probably mostly revolves around the crocodile, right?
Well, something about the way they dance is just so captivating. Do you think the director just said, "All right, now everybody dance like a Sim." Look at this guy in the black shirt. Dude, I've never seen anyone dance like this in my life. He like strikes a little pose halfway through the dance. I love extras, man. I want to be him when I grow up. His shirt just says, "Play while Jack, which is never explained further." Jack is investigated again, this time by the tax bureau.
>> He's a pretty rich guy. Yeah, >> that line is my favorite line in the whole movie. The inflection is so strange.
>> He's a pretty rich guy. Yeah.
>> You need to meet my sister. Very good for you. Come >> if it's okay with you.
>> If it's okay with you. He's about to arrest you for tax evasion. But he does let him go. He's like, "Look, man. I may be part of the tax bureau, but I'm not a [ __ ] block. Go meet this chick, man. Let me know how it goes."
>> So, Jack, >> yes, >> you're going to start a fire and you are going to dive into the ocean.
>> What? Don't worry, kind stranger, as we've grown quite fond of your nephew over these past gosh 12 seconds. So, naturally, we've decided to help you commit arson to escape the police.
And off he goes. Dude, they did that good. They must do this a lot. Also, I guess the tide must be out cuz they told him to dive into the ocean and once he leapt off the thing, he landed in the sand. That could have ended very badly if he didn't know that. So long, SUCKERS. GOD. OH. OH GOD, MY LEGS.
[laughter] I'm going to prison.
>> So they just time to skip town, right?
Now that the police, animal welfare, tax enforcement, and this construction company are all after him. Nope, he just goes back to work like nothing happened.
But not before someone else gets killed by a crocodile. Also, not before we talk about today's sponsor, Rocket Money. I signed up for Paramom Plus so I could watch old seasons [music] of Survivor.
But unfortunately, the experience of using Paramount Plus is so bad that I never use it. I don't know if it's just the app on my TV specifically, but episodes of that show used to be shot in a 4x3 aspect ratio, but Paramount Plus stretches it out to widescreen.
Meanwhile, all of the ads, which are shot in widescreen, for some reason are squished down to 4x3. Also, pausing doesn't work. It actually took me like days to even sign up for Paramount Plus.
I don't know why. I tried on every device and they just didn't want my money for some reason. That being said, I am very happy that Rocket Money is sponsoring today's video because it gives me a good excuse to complain about Paramount Plus.

After the whole escaping from the police incident, two of those teens from the bar decide to go make out in the ocean.
>> This is great.
>> They're smooching. They're making out.
The boy goes underwater to I actually don't know what he was planning on doing down there. It kind of looks like he's going to suck on her toes. But you know who that attracts.
The croc.
The croc said, "Hold on, old don. If anybody's sucking on anybody's toes around here, you better believe it's going to be the most sexually aggressive reptile." So he eats the boy and then he eats the girl. All while this lone, terrified girl watches on in horror.
I love how casually she rides away. She is in no rush. Ah, a killer croc. I got to go get help, but I shouldn't go too fast. [music] I got to focus on me.
>> I got to take care of myself first.
>> My sister.
>> No, good call. No, no need to give any credence to the girl who literally saw them get eaten by an alligator. Yeah, she was probably just making it up. She probably just wanted attention. She's like curled up in a corner traumatized somewhere and they're just like, >> "Stop lying. There's no such thing as alligators, you idiot.
You killed them, didn't you?
>> During this scene, there's a mysterious man just kind of lurking on the sidelines of the investigation. He's not part of the police. He's just there and he's mysterious, but it seems like he might have a hunch. And then suddenly, the police pull a leg out of the water.
What kind of question is that? Uh, maybe she's still alive. It's just a leg. She might not even noticed it fell out, like a tooth or something.
We assumed so. You're a police officer and you pulled up with like 15 other police officers. I know what it looks like, but no strip club tonight, Jack.
Yeah, I know. People are dying. I'm here on official business.
Unless No, dude. We have to catch this crocodile before it kills again. Right.
Right. Yes, exactly. But what if it's at the strip club? Yo, so the girl that Theo was flirting with at the bar is having a funeral for her cousin. And since everyone thinks it was Jack's crocodile that ate the cousin, they are not very happy when he shows up. Keeps asking, "Are you okay? And what's wrong?" when everybody doesn't want to talk to him. Dude, somebody died. What's going on? Why is everyone so sad? Hey, where's your cousin? The ugly one.
>> You need to get these kids out of the water. We've got a croc out here.
>> What kind of croc? One that eats people.
>> Yeah, right.
>> All right, man. Why'd you even ask if you weren't going to care what he said?
He gave you the worst answer you could possibly hear while your kids are in the water and you were still like, "Ah, yeah, I don't care." But look, we know from earlier that sure, this movie is violent, but they would never actually show a child getting murdered BY A CROCODILE. NO, [screaming] I think the one thing that's going to help me kill this thing is being super [music] wasted. God, skewer him, man. So, who are all these people anyway? You're way too creepy to have this many friends.
Are these people you kidnapped or something? basically just the really dumb slow ones. One thing that really surprised me about this movie is how overwhelmingly positive all of the comments on YouTube are. This movie is super boring. The acting is really bad.
There are long periods of seemingly pointless plot development and yet the YouTube comments seem to love it. But they are pretty much exclusively all about how pretty the scenery in Thailand is and not about the movie or the plot at all. So I guess that makes sense.
Great movie, well filmed, nice locations, beautiful filming. Never thought Thailand was so perfect to paradise. Thanks so much. Yeah, well, it's not that perfect if people keep getting eaten by alligators, is it?
Great movie with beautiful scenery.
Thanks. Do these people think that the director invented Thailand? Cuz he didn't. It's been around for a while and you can go there. So, they find the croc and they kill it. It's honestly pretty unsatisfying.
I don't know what I was expecting for them to like pull off the mask of the alligator and it was the tax investigator all along, but I was hoping for some kind of closure as to like why this happened outside of two fishermen woke him up with a bomb. The ending of this movie is very somber. They're all just kind of traumatized on their little boat until Jack's sister asks Croc if the crocodile ate his leg. I forgot to mention Croc only has one leg. I don't know if you've noticed that. And so you just assume, oh, he must be hunting the croc because the croc ate his leg. And Croc says, "Good, good. I was hoping this movie would end like an episode of The Big Bang Theory." Well, guys, thanks for watching this video. I hope you liked it. If you're new here, make sure you subscribe and turn on my notifications to join Greg. I'll see you guys next time. Bye-bye. Hello, Greg.
Well guys, I've got some interesting content for you today. As usual, I found a very curious case that I would like your opinion on. Uh, but I don't want to give anything away just yet. Um, I just want you to watch the first couple Tik Toks and then I will sort of explain what's going on. Okay, so this is the first Tik Tok I saw of this guy. His name is Dustin Tyler. It says, "Uh, drink a bucket of bleach or date Selena Gomez again." Let's see what he says.
[music] >> So, yeah, deeply personal thing to post on Tik Tok. I feel like I didn't know who this guy is when I first saw uh this Tik Tok. So, I was just very confused.
cuz I was like, "Did this guy date Selena Gomez?" It says again. It's not just some guy speculating like I probably wouldn't like dating Selena Gomez, so yeah, I'll take the bleach. So then he made another video responding to this comment. It says, "Is he making fun of Bryce Hall or And I don't know what that's referring to. I did I don't know if Bryce Hall said that he liked Selena Gomez or dated her or something, but this just provides a little more insight into the relationship that this guy had with Selena Gomez."
>> Nah, I'm not making fun of Bryce Hall.
Him and I are nothing alike. See, he has to make stories up that he was with Selena Gomez. me. I actually was and then I friend-zoned her and then I broke her little heart.
>> Again, a very mean tone to the video, condescending to this person who is just genuinely asking a question, but gives a lot of insight into his alleged relationship with Selena Gomez >> and then I friend-zoned her and then I broke her little heart.
>> I am curious about the details of the story though because just the order of events is kind of weird to me. The way he laid it out, he says, "I was with Selena Gomez and then I friend-zoned her and then I broke her little heart." He says that things happened in that order.
Usually, you don't start dating someone and then friend-zon them. Usually, when guys talk about getting friend-zoned, it's like they're talking to this girl and then she reveals that she sees them as more like friends. This guy's saying, "We were dating. They could have been dating for like 3 years and then he turns to her and he's like, you know, I really see you like a sister. the best sister I ever had. So, he says he dated her and then friend-zoned her and then broke her heart. So, he like friend-zoned her, broke things off with her, and then he broke her heart. What did he do? I dated her. I friend-zoned her and then I killed her hamster. Just straight up stepped on it. This was years later, by the way. Anyway, by now you're probably wondering, who the hell is this guy? Is this Justin Bieber? Cuz I know they dated. That's what I thought at first. I thought, is this what Justin Bieber looks like now? But now, this guy's name is Dustin Tyler. Uh, and I scrolled through his page to try to figure out who this guy is. And here's what I came up with.
>> Oklahoma. [music] >> Okay. So, I didn't know who this guy was at first, but luckily there's a logo in the corner that says Victorious.
Apparently, this guy is was a character on Victorious. At first, I did think this was Andy Samberg from 2006, but uh he was a character. Let's see.
Victorious puppet guy. He was this guy.
Robbie Shapiro is one of Tori's friends at Hollywood Arts and he's got a few videos where he uh does sort of a glow up. He's like, "This is what I used to look like back when I was on Victorious, and this is what I look like now. Don't I look so different?" And then I was like, "Okay, this makes sense now." So this guy used to be on like an old Nickelodeon show, and so he was probably in with the Nick kids and the Disney kids. And so that's how he knew Selena Gomez, and that's how they dated, right?
It all makes sense. However, after reading the comments on these Tik Toks, I came to discover that this guy, this man is not the guy from Victorious.
These are two different people. He's just straight up lying about everything.
He's not that guy. He didn't date Selena Gomez. His page is full of lies. And to be honest, he's not lying very well, mind you, because the actual guy from Victorious, his name is Matt Bennett, and he has a Tik Tok account. And if you wanted to pretend to be him, you could at least make your name on TikTok Matt Bennett. I think that would make people believe you a lot more if you really wanted to trick people. But he didn't.
He just made his He just kept his real name. Dustin Tyler. That's me. Please don't Google the Please don't Google my name. So, this dude's whole thing apparently is just like making [ __ ] up on TikTok and then hoping it goes viral because people are kind of like, "Wo, you used to be the guy from Victorious or who you used to date Selena Gomez and now you'd rather kill yourself than date her again?" That's crazy. It's also funny now that he says that he friendzones Selena Gomez because that would imply that like they are now friends, you know? And this is a pretty [ __ ] up thing to say about your friend. date Selena Gomez again, dude.
Oh, that's Oh, disgusting, dude. That [ __ ] I hate that girl. I hate her. I wouldn't touch I would not touch her with a 10-ft pole. She's crazy and she's my best friend. But again, it turns out that he did not friend-zone her at all.
Maybe he strangerzoned her. He friend-zoned her so hard that they don't even know each other and never did. This is kind of interesting to me because this is sort of playing off an existing trend on Tik Tok where people will post like that they have some sort of past or current relationship with a celebrity like my uncle is Tom Cruz or like uh my grandma is Sandra Bulock and like Tik Toks like these will go viral cuz people are just like weirdly obsessed with stuff like that. The comments are always like holy [ __ ] I didn't know Tom Cruz had a a family. I'm not really sure why people are so surprised about it. I understand just being like, "Huh?" Yeah.
I never really thought about like what Tom Cruz's cousin would be like before.
Um, but then again, why would you, you know, like I can't imagine why you'd ever be in like a Mission Impossible movie wondering like I wonder I wonder who the guy who plays this character's cousin is. What's that guy like? What's he up to? So, I guess it's just surprising to like see him, but it's not really surprising to find out that he does have a cousin. I don't think we're all under the impression that like Chris Pratt just showed up out of like just came about through natural causes. If you go if you just search on Tik Tok I think famous relative check lots of videos will come up about being related to Charlie D'Amilio or Bob Saget. Okay, this guy is saying that his mom is Flo from Progressive. This is kind of like a popular thing on Tik Tok and anytime like a big celebrity has some cousin post about them, it goes a it goes viral. But the downside to blowing up in this fashion is that it's kind of hard to keep this momentum going. You know, most people don't have multiple famous relatives. So, you can't just keep posting about like having more famous relatives. I mean, I guess if your cousin was Justin Bieber, you could just sort of keep filming him at every like family get together. But you are kind of just limited to one famous person, which is where I think this guy Dustin Tyler has it all figured out because he doesn't just pick one celebrity to be related to. He'll lie about being related to anybody in a multitude of ways.
>> [music] >> Now, I should say that in this dude's profile, it does say jokes/satire.
So, he is covering his bases just in case someone tries to like sue him for whatever that would be, lying, being weird. In case anybody tries to sue me for being a little bit strange, it's all jokes. Also, all of his Tik Toks about like dating famous women are about him friend-zoning them or like him like dating them and being like, "Yeah, I dated like the most famous woman in the world.
It was trash." Low key, I'm a little bit out of her league. I mean, look at me, dude. I've got tattoos and I live in a hallway. And he kind of tries to disguise it as sort of like self-deprecating, like, "Oh, what a du what an idiot I am. I dated the most I dated the most famous pop star in the world and I was too good for her and I broke her heart, ripped it to smitherreens and now I kind of regret it. Nope. I'm so stupid. Oopsie. And this is all of his content. Then like his whole friend group must just be famous pop stars, right? If he's friend-zoning all of these girls and they're just then they're just his friends now. Um maybe this is the only way he knows how to make friends.
>> Put your back into it. Tell us why.
[music] Show us how. Look at where you came from. Look at you now.
>> Uh the caption for that one is this is what I look like when I friend-zoned Ariana Grande. Okay, that that one's not even trying to disguise it as like a self-deprecating joke. That one's just like, "Look at how ugly I was when I friend-zoned a literal pop music icon [music] and now look at how hot I am." I can't decide how I feel about this because on one hand it's kind of creepy, but it's also it also is kind of funny that he's just like pretending to be dating all of these famous people. I will say very disrespectful to the guy from Victorious. The fact that he's using this guy's picture to be like his past ugly self and being like, "But now, don't worry guys, now I'm hot. I don't look like that ugly ass dweeb anymore."
And he's like showing a picture that's not even him. It's some other guy. And he's also kind of like lying about things that that guy did too now. He just starts assigning all of this horrible [ __ ] to this guy that's not even him. Yeah, this is what I looked like back when I robbed that bank. Can you believe this is what I looked like back then? Damn, that was that same that was the same year I blew up that hospital, too. [ __ ] I've really changed since then. My name is Matt Bennett, by the way, and I did all those things.
People just walk away from those videos being like, "Wow, that that guy who played that kid in Victorious is kind of an asshole." Also, one of the weirdest things about this is he also posts all of these Tik Toks on Instagram, and he's verified on Instagram, which seems very weird cuz literally all he does is pretend to be other people, and somehow that gets him verified. Uh, but he does, in fairness, also say jokes and satire in his Instagram description. So, when Instagram verified him, what they're saying is, "Don't worry guys, this really is the guy who pretends to be the guy from Victorious." If you're wondering if this guy really is who he says he is, he is really the guy that pretends to date Selena Gomez. They do get a little bit creepier, though. This one is like that sound that's like, "Back in the day, me and you, baby, we used to have fun." And it says, "My mind when I bump into Ariana Grande when she's with her husband," WITH LIKE A EMOJI. Imagine this guy that Ariana Grande's never met before. Bumping into her in public with her husband. Remember me?
She's like, "I've never seen you before in my life." OH, THE FUN we used to have. If he keeps making TikToks like these, these are only going to get progressively more and more creepy the more like life changes Ariana Grande goes through. The next one's like, "Me following Ariana Grande's daughter home from elementary school to tell her about all the good times me and her mom had.
Me in court while Ariana Grande is trying to file a restraining order against me." And if you wonder if I [music] [singing] >> imagine Ariana Grande's husband like just randomly stumbling across this Tik Tok. What the [ __ ] I don't even know this guy. Imagine if he sees all the other Tik Toks and like believes them cuz he doesn't know. Babe, who is this guy? She's like, I have no idea. He's like, [ __ ] You're just saying that.
You're lying to me. This guy friend-zoned you and now he hates me.
She's like, no, I literally have no idea who that guy is. He's lying. You obviously do know him. He was on Victorious. That guy was not on Victorious. You are so full of [ __ ] He's verified on Instagram, babe.
[music] >> Okay, that one just throws off the whole thing. I thought he wanted Ariana Grande back and all the other Tik Toks. He's like, "Damn, I wish I never friend-zoned her and now he's saying I would never date her again." How How do you reconcile those two? Oh, I wish I didn't friend zone Ariana Grande. I wish I killed her. These are getting a little creepy. Kind of like bringing her husband into it. There's one comment under this Tik Tok that says, "You're using her name a little too much, I think." And he commented under it, "I'm obsessed with her. I'm not using her name too much. I'm obsessed with her. I think I'm using it an appropriate amount." How am I supposed to stop using her name if I can't stop thinking about her?
How does that make any sense? Again, I get that this is all a bit, you know, it's all jokes and satire, but I do feel like he may be taking the bit a little bit too far and committing a little bit too hard to the bit. Now he's going to get arrested and be like, "That video that I posted of me over Ariana Grande and her husband sleeping was a joke.
I was making fun of someone who would do that. The knife in my hand was a goof."
You want to know the craziest thing about this is all this dude does is pretend to be other people and pretend to be related to other people. And he has 1.7 million followers on Tik Tok.
You know, John Legend, like an actual famous person just started a Tik Tok.
You know how many followers he has? He's got 1.6 million followers. He's got less followers than someone pretending to be related to somebody famous. Dustin Tyler has four times as many followers as the actual guy from Victorious. Matt Bennett has 400,000 followers and a guy pretending to be him has four times more. It's like, how do you get more followers by making Tik Toks about being like rel related to somebody than you do by being that guy? He hasn't just pretended to date celebrities. He also has pretended to be Kiana Reef's son.
>> People tomorrow morning, 10 a.m. SANTA'S COMING TO TOWN. [screaming] >> And a lot of them have this kind of theme where like people and like potential girlfriends only like him because he's Kiana Reef's son. And I just think it's kind of funny that in this this f fictional world where he can make up anything, he picks such a sad reality for himself. He picks these worlds where like he turned away the love of his life, Ariana Grande, and now he's bitter and he despises her husband.
And he picks this world where Kiana Reeves is his dad, but like he can't really be sure if anyone actually likes him for him because everyone's just so obsessed with Kiana Reeves. He's turning his life into a a a tragedy.
He's made a tragedy of himself. Also, I think it's kind of funny that in this scenario, it seems like the she that this this video is talking about would be Ariana Grande. You know how Ariana Grande is obsessed with Kiana Reeves and that's a thing about her?
[music] >> Also, I want to know where he's making these Tik Toks. He's always either like in a hallway or in a storage closet. I feel like I'm way more interested than his life than than like whatever whatever fantasy land he's coming up with. I feel like he's making these at work. Whatever job this guy works, I must be the most boring job in the world. I get daydreaming about like dating Ariana Grande or like having a famous parent, but then like daydreaming and fantasizing about like dating Selena Gomez, but it was trash. It's kind of It's like you've gone through everything else there is to daydream about and now all you have to daydream about is like what if people only liked me because my dad was in the Matrix. Anyway, I don't know. What do you guys think? Is this creepy or normal? Is this creepy behavior or is this all in good fun and uh it's just kind of like a silly guy being goofy and wacky? Let me know.

Bye. This is Love on a Leash. I think it is the worst movie I have ever seen. Other movies I've watched on this channel have had their issues. Sure, they've had plot holes.
They've had terrible pacing. They've had Noah Centineo. Yeah. But this movie, Love on a Leash, is just different. This movie fails in every possible category.
This movie is bad at even being a movie.
Look at the poster. You can probably tell what the movie is about just by looking at the poster. And yes, it is as bad as you think. This movie came out in 2011. It is about a woman falling in love with a dog. It's sort of like Beauty and the Beast. And you'd think, "Oh, it's not a beast. It's just a dog.
So maybe he won't be as bad as the beast." No, he's way worse than the beast. You're going to hate this dog by the time the movie is over. This movie has a lot of not great themes. So, please be cautious while watching this movie. It's nothing like graphic. I'm not going to show anything that would be like rated R, but just just beware. Now, if you think I'm over exaggerating about how bad this movie is, let's just take the intro for example, because this movie starts with utter silence.
We get this opening montage with no music, no sound, just dog. And it lasts for a cool 1 minute and 12 seconds before we get any sort of dialogue. And that is because this movie has no soundtrack. And you might be thinking like, "Oh wow, that's kind of cool." Kind of like an avantguard choice to intentionally make a film with no music throughout. And uh I don't think it was intentional cuz there's definitely spots where there's supposed to be music. Also, in the opening credits, there is a composer credited. Wait, the composer's name is Peter Davidson.
Ski, can this [ __ ] keep his hands out of anything? Try not ruining one movie. Pete Davidson. Okay, just kidding. But seriously, why is there a composer credited? Did they have a soundtrack composed for this movie and then just forget to put it in? Did Peter Davidson take their money and then ghost them and them putting him in the credits as like a slight dig at him? Oh yeah, you like the soundtrack in this movie.
You like the ambiance that it adds?
Thanks so much. Peter Davidson did it.
If you have a movie and you want to hire someone who you will pay thousands of dollars to only for them to run off to Greece with your wife, then hire Peter Davidson. But enough talking about the soundtrack, cuz there is none. It's time to meet our protagonist, a horny dog named Alvin Flang.
>> Where the ladies at?
>> Gross. In this opening montage, we see Alvin walking around the park a little bit, supposedly looking for girls.
>> Oh, here is one.
>> Being homophobic. Hey, lay off, man. I'm not gay.
>> And then getting rejected by a girl.
>> That's messed up. It's because I'm a dog, isn't it?
>> That she doesn't want to [ __ ] you. Yeah, dude. I think it's cuz you're a dog.
While recovering from this brutal rejection, Alvin goes over to a pond to sulk and the pond starts talking to him.
>> Come back.
Find a girl. girl.
>> If she only loves you, you may have a chance.
>> Find a girl. That's my specialty.
>> So, as you might have noticed, this movie starts off with zero context whatsoever. We don't know who the [ __ ] this dog is. We don't know why he has a human brain. We don't know where Peter Davidson is and when he's going to send over the finalized soundtrack for the movie. And the director just assumes that we as the audience have enough info to go off of to be on the dog side here.
Okay, first off, tell us why he's a dog.
I'm not going to root for this guy unless you tell me why he's cursed to be in a dog's body. There's obviously a reason, and I'm not just going to start rooting for a horny homophobic dog for no reason. But I guess I'm just kind of special like that. And you might think, "Oh, they're probably about to explain it, right?" But no, it's like halfway into the movie before they finally tell you what the [ __ ] is up with this dog and why he's a dog. Anyway, so now he's off to find a girl that's in love with him. And first off, can I just say this movie came out in 2011 and they definitely had better cameras than this in 2011. This movie was clearly made on like a shoestring budget. This movie gives off the vibe that like all the actors are just the director's friend.
This dog is just the director's dog. The dog is clearly not like a professionally trained dog actor. the dog just kind of does whatever and then they add in human voice over over it to kind of explain what the dog is thinking which nine times out of 10 does not match up with what the dog is doing. Okay, so he's on his quest. The pond is given him a mission. He can maybe change into a human if he finds a girl. This is the main mission of the movie. He's got to find a girl and get her to fall in love.
Uh just one quick question. How is he supposed to do that? That's gross. And even if he does somehow find a girl that's into dog, do you have any idea how pissed off she's going to be when he turns from a dog into a human? She's going to be so mad. Anyway, he finds this girl named Lisa, and he decides to get her attention by making himself look all dirty and beaten up, and she ends up taking him into her home. Lisa is introduced as kind of a traditional girl. She has a friend who's always trying to get attention from guys, and it doesn't matter what kind of guy she gets attention from. She's always going out and partying. But Lisa is different.
Lisa is waiting for the right man to come along and sweep her off her feet.
And this summer, the [music] right man just might be a [ __ ] dog. Next, we get to see Lisa at work. She works at a department store and she's helping this woman try on a dress.
>> Ma'am, I told you that dress was too small for you.
>> No, it's because I'm sweaty.
>> Why do I feel like those sound effects weren't in the script? Why do I feel like the script didn't say woman tries on dress and farts in the camera? I feel like that wasn't written in. I feel like the actor didn't know that was going to happen. Seems very mean. Seems especially mean when you remember that the person who edited the sound in this movie literally didn't do anything else.
He didn't add in music, that's for sure.
He was just like, "This woman's big butt makes fart noises." And then he went home.
>> Miss, I'm sorry. This dress is too tight for you. I can't sell it to you.
>> What? Okay. I feel like they want to make Lisa seem like the reasonable one here. Like the lady is being totally unreasonable, but this is kind of [ __ ] up, right? To be like, "No, I can't sell you this dress. Sorry. It doesn't fit you and it never will." So, sorry.
Sorry. Maybe lose a few pounds before you come back into my store.
>> How about be my roommate?
>> Okay. You pay the rent and I'll sniff my butt.
>> Okay. Wait. Is Alvin Fang a human trapped in a dog's body or is he just a dog? Cuz that was a very dog thing to say. They haven't explained anything yet. So, in the lore of this movie, like, is this just how all dogs are? All dogs have these like human internal monologues and want to turn into humans so they can have romantic relationships with humans, or is he a human trapped in a dog's body who just happens to like sniffing his butt? From there, Alvin and Lisa start to share some very fond memories, like Lisa trying to name him Prince and him insisting that his name is Alvin Fang.
>> My name is Alvin Fang.
>> Well, okay, maybe something's a little more class, >> like Alvin Fang. and Lisa joking that he should buy her a dress and him saying that he'd rather kill himself.
>> I can't afford it unless you're buying >> I'd rather kill myself.
>> What's funny about that line is that the thing that would make him want to kill himself isn't being cursed to live your entire life as a human trapped in a dog's body. It's buying a dress for a pretty girl. Over the course of the movie, there are a few other men that pursue Lisa romantically. There's Kyle, who she works with, and there's Frank, who kind of stalks her while she works.
And because Lisa's having a hard time finding a husband, she decides, you know what? I'll go on a date with these guys.
So, she goes on a date with Frank. And on their first date, he ends up bringing his mom, who just grills her the entire time.
>> Lisa, my grandson, is only 10 years old, and we are very anxious to find a stepmother for him. This child has been raised using the latest scientific technology in nutrition, education, and psychology.
>> What does that mean?
>> This child was raised by robots. He needs another human in his life. He is cold, hollow, and violent. He needs to learn love from a human woman. Many women have tried and unfortunately met their demise.
>> He has an IQ of 170.
>> Yeah, no [ __ ] We raised him using the latest technology. He's not just any regular iPad baby, okay? We use the newest iPad, [music] so that makes him very smart.
>> And to be certain that he grows up to become president of the United States, >> huh?
>> We must ask a specific request to any prospective stepmother. She cannot have any children of her own.
>> What?
>> Furthermore, >> furthermore, >> in order for her to not become pregnant, she must agree to have her tubes tied before the marriage. Saying we need to make certain implies that they're already like pretty sure that the son is going to be president. They just need to make sure all their ducks are in a row, which I guess is fair. They have been using the coolest latest doodads. They raised this kid in a self-driving Tesla, baby. What is this logic? Is every president an only child? I don't even follow what she's saying with this.
Maybe she doesn't want Lisa's attention divided between multiple children, but this is just such a weird plot development. This has nothing to do with what's going on in the movie. How is a man trapped in a dog's body the least interesting thing that's happening in this movie right now? So, obviously this date doesn't go well. So, she ends up going on a date with Kyle where Kyle comes over, tells Lisa that he's gay, but he still wants to get married because his family will disown him if he doesn't marry a woman and he's very rich so he can provide for her. All in all, Lisa is not having good luck with men, but this summer [music] she might have good luck with a [ __ ] dog. What happens next in this movie is insane and very uncomfortable. After Kyle leaves, Lisa's just chilling and her manager from the store comes in very drunk and tries to have his way with Lisa.
>> Lisa, [music] >> back off. She's mine.
>> Okay, dude. That's a pretty insane thing to say when a girl is getting assaulted, right?
>> [groaning] >> YOU'RE FIRED.
>> I [laughter] QUIT.
>> Now I'm the king of the castle.
>> This is such a weird moment to infuse like a comedic relief dog with the plot.
This movie just got so dark and the dog is like, "Cuz I'm the only guy left around here now, huh? Guess I'm sort of king of the castle." Yeah, bro. Um, I hate you.
Ever thought about that? Ever thought about the fact that you suck ass so hard? King of the castle. King of the castle that's also a dog and lives in a house that is green. [crying] >> Why is he gay? Why is Kyle gay?
>> Sorry. That's what she's taking away from all this. Huh? Why is Kyle gay?
Bro, there are more pressing issues right now. What is the writer of this movie doing? Anyway, she's completely broken down at this point. She ends up running outside into the rain, sitting down in the grass, crying with her dog, and she decides, "You know what? That's it. No more men. Men are nothing but trouble. All I want is my dog.
>> From now on, no more men.
>> I'm going to stay with you. Only you.
We'll live together forever.
>> I'm sheang."
>> I think that might be my favorite transition of all time. As a dog, he yells, "I'm sheang." So, you'd think that as a human he'd be standing there all proud of himself, maybe like jab. But he's just looking down at her with the blankst. Uh-oh. He doesn't look like he's got any thoughts behind those eyes. Maybe he was just a dog all along and now he's a human with a dog brain.
From here, the movie makes a super strange tonal shift from like a goofy comedy to like this really intense romance movie where they're in the rain.
For some reason, Alvin, who now only goes by Prince for some reason. For the rest of the movie, they pretty much exclusively refer to him as Prince. He is not a goofy dog anymore. He's this like romantic man who's like, I just want to be your husband now. Let me love you. The guy who plays the human version of Prince isn't even the same guy that did the voice of the dog. And they act way different. He went from being like, "Hey, scratch my belly, babe. I'm trying to get laid." to like acting like Anakin Skywalker from Attack of the Clones.
>> I don't like Sam.
>> And I don't know about you guys, but I miss the old prince.
This one's probably not even horny all the time.
>> Don't be afraid. It's really me, your dog. Don't be afraid. You have no reason to be afraid. It's me, your dog. If my dog did this, I would be [ __ ] terrified. Hey, don't worry. It's me, the one who tries to hump your leg all the time. It's me. Don't worry. I'm a man. I'm a grown man now, and I still want to [ __ ] your leg. So, they're standing in the rain. Lisa is so confused that she passes out for like 3 seconds. She is not taking this well.
But we do finally get an explanation as to why Prince was a dog.
>> In my past life, I was punished for being a cheating playboy. I was cursed to live as a dog.
>> Oh, so it's like a reincarnation thing.
Finally, they explain this. At first, I thought that he it was like in the same lifetime, like he got cursed to be a dog in this lifetime, but no, it's a reincarnation thing. I am confused about the lore of the movie. Does that mean this could happen with any dog? Are all dogs like used to be people that [ __ ] up in this life and now they're dogs? Or are some dogs maybe like a like a hamster that did really good in its life, which I would imagine is probably a lot of hamsters. I feel like it's pretty hard to [ __ ] up as a hamster. I wouldn't think there's much expectations of a hamster. Really, it's all about expectations. Let me be your husband.
>> God, thanks for answering my prayer.
Yeah, you're my husband.
>> What? Huh? Okay, so that's all it takes.
She's like, "Yeah, I guess you were a pretty good dog who I met just weeks ago. Sure, you're my husband now." So, they end up getting married. They decide to live together. They spend the night together. But that's when this movie goes completely off the rails. I thought this was like the main plot line. He found love. Now he's a human forever.
Nope. The curse is not broken and you will not guess how this movie ends. The next day, Prince wakes up and he's a dog again. So, he goes back to the pond to find out why >> you lied to me. I'm still a dog.
>> You're just using her now.
>> So, the magic pond is like, you were just using her to break the curse.
[music] And to be fair to Prince, like, yeah, yeah, no [ __ ] He didn't want to be a dog anymore, so he did what you said to do to break the curse. They fell in love. Dude, you can't be like, "Well, you only did that cuz I told you to."
And it's like, "Yeah, you didn't really give him a choice, did you?" So, now the pawn tells him that he'll only be a human when the sun is not shining. And in order to become a human full-time, he has to be a real man and provide for his wife. This movie has very traditional views of what it means to be a man. What is this pawn? What magic is this? Is this God? It kind of seems like she's a liar. She keeps adding on caveats to what he needs to do to become a human.
She's like, "Okay, you found love, but you still don't have a joint bank account. So now you will be cursed to be a dog only every other day except the last Tuesday of the month." This whole situation causes a lot of shenanigans to ensue. He's got to figure out how to make money. He's got to like meet Lisa's family, but he can only come out when the sun's not shining, otherwise he'll turn back into a dog like he does in this scene.
Dad, Prince just became a dog.
>> Big deal. I'm Alvin Schwin. [screaming] >> How stupid. What kind of idiot doesn't know how to swim? All right, grab on you pizzafaced cinder block.
>> Pizzafaced cinder block. Dude, that's so mean. What the hell is up with this dog?
Why is his dog persona so vastly different than his human persona? Every time he turns back into a dog, he's like, "What? You never seen a man turn into a dog before? [ __ ] you. I'm Alvin Flang. Screw you and this ugly ass broad. I'm out of here, dude." Okay, we're here. We're at the end of the movie. We have arrived. Do you want to know what happens? Prince, I guess, just can't seem to figure out this whole like providing for his wife thing. And to be fair, he is a dog most of the time. But he realizes, wait, maybe if I just die, I'll be reincarnated as a human. A pretty bold assumption, honestly. They don't explain why they would think that.
It seems like he has absolutely no reason at all to think that's true. The pond never said that, and I'm pretty sure she's God. It seems like she makes the rules. But he turns into a dog. He runs off and he gets hit by a car. Ah, the old Marmaduke special. Ending the movie with a dead dog. And this summer, she might just find luck with a dead dog. And you know what's interesting about all this is that at one point in the movie, he actually does buy her that dress from earlier. So, I guess the prophecy was kind of true in a way. He did buy her the dress and he did kill himself. So, then we flash forward to years later, the movie says, and Lisa is old as hell. It looks like maybe like 20, 30 years have passed and Prince who has been reincarnated and then lived his whole ass life. So he's now as old as he was when he died before shows back up.
>> What took you so long to come back?
>> Lisa, it's better that you don't know.
>> He turned old. The love made him turn old. Or the magic or the pond made him turn old. I don't know. I don't understand any of the lore in this movie. One thing's for sure though, dude. Do not let this guy turn back into a dog now cuz he'd still be like 80 years old. And that is too old for a dog.
>> I have a dog training business and naturally it's very successful.
>> I guess you could say I know what dogs like and I know how to reward them. You see, they're all former sex criminals.
>> I live a very comfortable life, but >> okay, weird flags. I'm actually really rich now, by the way. And that, folks, is the end of the movie. He kills himself and that apparently outsmarts the pond. Moral of the story, it's pretty easy to outsmart a pond. All right. Well, now it's time to talk about our sponsor, HelloFresh.

Bye-bye. What's up, Greg? and welcome back to another episode of Bads Are Back.
>> You are not [music] good.
>> Yay. That's right. This is another installment of everybody's favorite series where I look at really strange ads for mobile games. There's this one that seemed to go viral on Twitter a couple days ago that like everybody's been tagging me in. So, I figure, you know what? I might as well bring back the series for an episode to talk about it. This video has 300,000 likes and 8 million views on Twitter. And guess what? I've got beef with them. I have a pretty significant beef with these ads.
And I'll explain why. But first, let's just go ahead and watch the ad that everybody's been tagging me in. To be fair, I did have to watch this multiple times for it to make sense to me. So, I'm going to walk you through it that way nobody gets lost along the way. So, the ad starts out with very little context. It's a woman in a wedding dress. She's crying and she's taking a taxi home only to find out that her house has burnt down. right away. So much backstory that I feel like I'm missing. The first time I watched this, I'm like, are we in the middle of an ad right now? Is this the beginning of the ad? Am I supposed to have watched other ads before this? But rest assured, I've watched a bunch of other ads for this game, and there is no context to be found. There is no explanation. So, you just have to accept that this woman is having a very bad day. Then, she gets a call from her grandma, and it looks like her grandma comes over to like comfort her for whatever happened at the wedding. I don't know if her fianceé like stood her up or died or if she stood him up or died. While she's being comforted, it also looks like she's holding a picture of herself from the wedding. I don't know what that's about.
Maybe it's supposed to be the grandma's wedding photos and she's showing her granddaughter. Like, look at how happy I was at my wedding. A your fiance stood you up and died at your wedding. Oh, I'm so sorry, sweetie. Look how happy I was at my wedding, though. Look at all these pictures. See how I'm smiling at all of them? The reason I'm smiling is because my husband was present at the wedding and alive at the wedding as well. I wasn't marrying a present corpse. He was also alive. Does that make you feel better? Are my happy memories making you feel better?
Why not? Then I guess to further comfort her, the grandma gives her a house, which I guess would be a nice gift, but the house is in like terrible condition.
The grandma just gives her the keys to this like dilapidated shack. I guess it's big. But is that even a nice gift for someone who just went through like a horrible breakup? Hey, so I know that you're really sad that the person you love the most in your life stood you up at your wedding and doesn't want anything to do with you anymore. But you know what would make you feel better?
[music] A really big empty house. A house so big that it could be full of like some little kids running around or a little husband running around, but instead it's just big and empty. Does that make you feel better? Why not? Plus, on top of that, with how like out of repair this house is, this just seems like a huge burden. I mean, I hope it'll be nice when it's done cuz it is pretty big, but like this just seems like so much work.
You know, it actually doesn't even look like it's in that much better condition than her original house. Well, sweetie, we know that you really miss your house because it burnt down and that was like the worst day of your life. So, we wanted to make you feel better. So, as a community, we all pitched in and raised enough money to buy you a second burnt down house.
[music] Go on, get in there. So, by now, the ad is about halfway done. And if you're wondering, like, wait, what even is this game? I don't understand how this is an ad for the game. And what is going on?
You're not alone. But luckily, they take a pause from the story real quick to show us some actual gameplay from the game. And it's just like a home improvement game, like a gardening and fixerupy game. In fact, you might notice that it has kind of like a similar vibe to Lily's Garden, which I talked about like I I don't even know how long ago, like a year ago, a year and a half. If you don't remember, Lily's Garden were the absurdly inappropriate ads for a gardening game. They had all sorts of fun ads like Lily's private time sitting on the washer, Lily pretending that she's pregnant so that her boyfriend will leave her. All sorts of wacky scenarios that they used to market this game that, as far as I could tell, was just about gardening. So, hold the absolute f up, Merge Mansion, which is the name of this game. I don't know if I've said it yet. So, hold up, Merge Mansion. You think you can just steal Lily's Gardens thing? I'm sorry, but I'm not going to allow I'm not going to allow this copycat behavior. Okay, sure.
I didn't like Lily's Garden ads at the time or even now. And they also tried to start beef with me by putting my little Nutcracker guy in their [music] commercials next to a dumpster. So, really, I shouldn't be defending them at all. You know what? Merge Mansion, stop it. It's also just like so over the top for a game about just like home improvement. Is all of this context and backstory necessary? Would this be important to me if I downloaded the game? Would I use this information at all? So, I've got an empty spot in my garden. I can either plant [music] a tree or build a statue. Keeping in mind that my fianceé did either die or stand me up on my wedding day, I think the choice is actually pretty clear. I'm going back to therapy. [music] Okay. So, then the ad takes a drastic turn. What the hell did grandma do? Huh?
It's not clear what they're arresting her for. And they never explain it either. So, I I'm not sure if it's just like another thing that you're just going to have to accept. You don't know the answer to, like, what happened to her fianceé and how did her house start on fire? Or maybe it has something to do with the fiance in the house. I don't know. Did she burn down the house? Did she burn down the fiance? I don't know.
[music] [music] And there you go. That's the whole ad.
He is alive. Oh, rats merge mansion.
Just when I think I figured out some of the context of this ad, you go and pull the rug right out from under me. What the [ __ ] does that mean? So, who is alive? First of all, the fiance. I'm going to have to assume that's who they're talking about. Which makes me think that I might have been right about them all thinking the fiance died. Is that why the wedding was cancelled? And if so, how did they think that he died? How did they think that he died but never saw him be dead? Did he just not show up to the wedding and everyone was like, damn, he must be dead. That's the only reason a groom has never not showed up to a wedding because he died. So that sucks.
Maybe at first they thought the fiance stood her up at the wedding, but then when she got home to where she and the fianceé lived together, the house is burned down. So then they're like, "Oh [ __ ] he didn't just stood stand her up.
He stood up. He stood life up. He stood up the rest of his life." Now that's all interesting enough, right? That was a very strange ad. I think we can all agree. But if you scroll down in this Twitter thread, apparently there are other endings to this ad. There are like slight alternate endings that apparently other people have seen. So here's one of them. Instead of saying he is alive, her hand says I planned this, which I feel like if we're talking about the whole like fiance fake death thing, like almost means the exact same thing.
There's also an alternate ending that has her saying you're next on the hand.
I mean, all sort of just alluding to the same fact that the grandma did something nefarious and that's why the fiance disappeared or, you know, she did something wild and wacky and now she's going to jail. I can't wrap my head around why they made these alternate endings. Are they like targeting the different ads to different groups of people? Like this really small change will have a different appeal to different demographics. Okay, so we're thinking that you're next will go to the Gen Zers. But for the older crowd, like the baby boomers, we're thinking, I planned this on her hand. Cuz old people really like planning. After doing a little bit of detective work on YouTube, I was able to find like I guess the production company or studio or something that makes these ads.
[music] Okay, so that ad is about having a threesome. Does the G I just want to know does the game have anything to do with these ads? This home improvement game. I can't imagine it does. Okay, so now I'm out in the garden and here's a bush. What do I want to do here? I can either water bush, cut [music] bush, have sex with two people hiding in bush.
It's interesting that this is like the studio that makes these ads cuz they have a little description. Merge Mansion, a hit game for Metacor, needed three different ads full of warmth, humor, and drama. Warmth, humor, and drama. the simple warmth of finding out your fiance died and that your house burnt down and that your grandma had something to do with it all. Uh they wanted to make films that are distinctive, surprising, and interesting from the first second. Distinctive.
Try telling that to Lily's Garden. Dude, I'm actually in love with this Twitter thread, though, because once this tweet started picking up traction and a bunch of people started seeing it, everybody started replying with weird ads that they've seen. And uh yeah, there's some weirdass ads out there. I haven't done this series in a while. And it turns out that I developers have been going buck wild, dude. That's all I can say. Look at this.
[laughter] Dude, what a brutal kick. Oh my god, the sound effect and everything.
I know that this is a common theme for all of these game ads, but I couldn't even wager a guess as to what this game is about. They're like stranded on an island, maybe like a desert island and but also this dude is like doing a little stripper pole dance for this girl. It's this fun new game where a group of people get stranded on a desert island and they have to start a new society and instead of implementing money as currency, but they implement pole dancing and lap dances, weirdly enough, as currency and instead of jail, you just get punted. This next ad is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen, and I'm not exaggerating. And there's no way you'll believe me unless I just play it. So, here you go, [music] dude. What is this stinky fart dragon game? Dragonscapes.adventure.
What the hell? What is this? The dragon farts once and the girl laughs and she's like, "Oh, you like that? You kind of like when I fart?" And the girl's like, "Yeah, I guess it's kind of silly. It's kind of like funny in an immature type of way." And the dragon's like, "Oh, okay. Well, how about I fart so hard that I I break your spine? You like my farts, huh? How about I [ __ ] kill you? Wait, is this the same girl?
Dude, it is. Wait. Okay, so the what?
This ad had nothing to do with dragons, but this is clearly the same girl. She's got the same outfit and everything.
Okay, maybe this maybe this game doesn't have anything to do with pole dancing or dragons. Is it just about punting this girl, sending her flying? Okay, so the main object of this game is to wait until this girl's having a good time.
See how she's dancing and having fun or she [music] like thinks that the dragon's fart is kind of funny. Wait until she's having fun and then you just [ __ ] send her. Oh, wait.
In the very last frame, it looks like now she's on an island by herself. So, is this like the backstory for how she gets stranded on Scripppole Island? She was just having a good time watching her dragon and then she got like farted onto a deserted island. Maybe I'm reading too much into this. Is this even a real game?
Wow, that game looks pretty cringe. That game looks so weird. Who would download that? I mean, what do you do? You you're you're in like colonial times and you form an army of dudes wearing only boxer briefs that can like form together into these sick big weapons and then you like fight off these other armies. That's crazy.
A crazy bad. Crazy bad. That looks like a bad game. What is this game even called? Something dumb probably. What is it? Guns of Glory. That's crazy, man. I wouldn't I would never want to even look at a game like that now that I know the name of it. Oh, look. This looks like one of those like episode type games, like a choose your adventure type thing.
She says, "My fantasy dot dot dot." And I guess you get to pick. Her two options are spank me master or spank my ass master. Is there a difference? Spank my ass, master.
Now spank me master. Anyways guys, I think that's enough bads for now. Now it's time for a good ad. Thanks to our sponsor, Sleeper. You guys, let me tell you about today's sponsor, Sleeper.
Sleeper is a fantasy sports platform.
It's an app that's available on the App Store and the Google Play Store. But it's not just any fantasy platform. It's the best fantasy platform for all of your fantasy football, basketball, and for gamers like me. It's even got esports. The reason I think Sleeper is the best fantasy platform out there is because they've got personality, dude. I mean, look at this app. It's got a sleek, modern design. It's got a beautiful UI, very clean, laid out just right. They've got all the features you're used to in fantasy apps and more.
They've got social features like voice and text chat, which means leagues [music] that use Sleeper have more fun.
They chat more. They react to moves that happen all season long. And it all comes with zero ads. If you don't have a group of friends to play with, that's fine because Sleeper just released a matchmaking feature that will help you find the league that's right for you.
So, if you and your friends want to take your fantasy sports league to the next level, then download Sleeper in the App Store or Google Play. The link will be in the description. Thank you to Sleeper for sponsoring this video, and thank you to you guys for checking out Sleeper.

Bye. This video is over [music] now.
Over now. Go find something else to watch or just watch this video. I know we had a lot [music and singing] of fun.
A lot of fun. But you can't stay on this end screen forever. [singing] This video is over now. Over now. So why [music] are you still watching this? What's up, Greg? And welcome back to another episode of Boomers Getting Fooled by AI on Facebook. Gang, there is an epidemic going on right now. While we all grew up with our parents telling us not to believe everything we read online, it is now time for us to return the favor. It is time for us to warn them that 90% of the content they see on Facebook is not real. All this started for me when I got this image on my timeline. Now, to the average person, this might look like your average great photograph. After all, dogs do this sort of thing all the time. But being the internet sleuth that I am, I was a little bit skeptical. For one, what are the dogs doing right here?
Like, what is that? Are they chewing up some kind of pillow or animal carcass or something? Hey guys, my six golden retrievers paused in the middle of tearing apart a deer carcass to pose like this completely unprompted. I got to admit, this is a pretty great photograph, but also I am very scared.
I'm worried they're performing some kind of ritual. So, this image doesn't seem right with me, but nobody else in the comments seemed to notice it was weird looking, so maybe I'm just crazy. Connie said, "Absolutely gorgeous." And then someone replied to that and said, "You looking good in your picture." And a great comment. Whoa, dude. What? What a weird time to shoot your shot, dude.
That was so out of the blue. Yeah. And actually, you know what's hotter than those dogs? You and your com. Hotter than the dogs. There's other weird parts of this image, like this dog that's either sitting on another dog or melted into another dog, but it is by far not the worst image on this account.
You know, they say some people's dogs look exactly like their owners, and I think this is a great and terrifying example of that. There's a mix of responses on this image. Somebody should call the cops. Absolutely love. Creepy.
Okay.
Kind of mean. Look, I think we can all agree it's a terrifying image, but that baby did not choose to be born half dog, okay? He was probably cursed by a witch.
Please be nice to him. He has enough to deal with. Plus, you haven't even seen this full image. You'd be really creeped out if you saw that this dog actually has human feet and ass. As I began to click on these AI generated photos on Facebook, I started to get recommended them more and more to the point where now when I go on Facebook, it's pretty much just AI generated content. This is another account that I found that posts images like this. It always seems to be a child sculpting something very impressive out of trash. And the people in the comments just eat this stuff up, dude. Great work. Keep it up. Great talent. Nice one. Thanks. What do you mean thanks? Did you ask the kid to build this? Oh, finally the kid I hired to build me a car is done with it. I can't wait to drive it around. I am 2 feet tall in a caveman, so this is perfect for me. All of the images in this genre give off the vibe of like, "Oh, look at this poor kid. He probably lives in a rural African country. He's probably poor, doesn't have many resources. But despite all that, somehow he is an incredible sculptor. Somehow he's defied all logic and found 1 million cloves of garlic to recreate the Titanic with. Could you do us a favor, guys, and just toss him a like? Could you just do it or he'll cry? They're like baiting you into feeling bad for them and thinking they're cute so that you'll engage with the picture, obviously encouraging them. But I got to say, honestly, this kid, I don't feel bad for him at all. This kid has so much garlic. This kid is like a garlic kingpin. You know, this isn't all of his garlic either. He's probably got a garlic Lamborghini, a garlic mansion where he parks this garlic yacht. He's living better than me. This dude is the garlic Mr. Beast. Not to mention, he's way more defended against vampire attacks than any of us. Great work.
Beautiful artwork. Where does he get all this garlic from? Okay, it is nice to see people questioning the validity of this image. Part of me does kind of think that they're not actually questioning whether the image is real or not. They just legitimately think that he got the garlic through nefarious means or something. I'm asking myself the same question. And garlic is expensive. They're turning on the kid.
Thief. A garlic thief. This kid is stealing garlic from people who need it.
Must have some pretty big pockets to steal all that garlic, young man. That must be why your arms are so long. You use them for sneaking and stealing. I'm Sam and I made this from real wood.
Great job, Sam. Totally normal house.
Has all the features of a regular house.
Nothing more and nothing less. Guys, toss Sam a like if you don't think his house is going to eat him. I'm trying to figure out what was happening here.
What? How did the AI come up with this?
Do you think the prompt was like kid standing in front of a little kid house and the AI was like little kid house?
Huh? Say no more. I know what that means. It's obviously a house with the soul of a small child imbued within it.
It's beautiful and so welldesigned.
Yeah. I mean, honestly, aside from the fact that there's no way to get in or out of the house, it's the most beautiful sentient house I've ever seen.
I collected bananas to sculpt this bunny. And this person says, you know, you can eat them, too. Those bananas you're using to sculpt the bunny, you might think that God just placed them here on Earth to sculpt with, but take off the outer peel and you'll be surprised. Now, I got to say that usually I would agree with this person, but these bananas actually do not look edible. I don't know what's going on here, but these are not normal bananas.
In fact, this whole thing kind of just looks like one mutated banana melted together. I don't even think this kid sculpted this. He just found a banana that already looked like a bunny. Wow, look at this kid. He sculpted Jesus sitting on a whale out of um out of Well, I'm not exactly sure what any of this is supposed to be. Are these diamonds? And then these are like I don't know. These look like the containers that dishwasher pods come in.
Very interesting material choices. Wow, look at this local impoverished child who made a Jesus sculpture out of only 1 million diamonds and other precious gems. Guys, toss him a like. He doesn't have much else. Made it with my own hands and oh god, what a toll it took on this poor young child. He does not look so good, man. Made this with my own hands and eyes. He took my [ __ ] eyes.
Now, all things considered, these images I've shown you so far are actually pretty tame. And the deeper and deeper you go into these accounts, the more insane they get. It's like they had a prompt that they used to generate the first few images, and then they just keep adding on to that prompt, making it longer and longer. But before I show you those images, I do want to take a moment to talk about today's sponsor, Opera.
Opera is a browser that puts all default browsers to shame with its fun look and a ton of great features. And it's actually the browser I used to browse Facebook for this entire video. And let me just say, this thing browses Facebook like nobody's business. Just like AI images on Facebook, another thing ruining the usability of the internet is ads [music] plastered all over an article you're trying to read, trying to pry your attention away from what you're doing. I feel like I need blinders on sometimes when I'm using the internet.
But Opera has an ad blocker built right into the browser. Just switch it on with one click and suddenly web pages look so much nicer. Not to mention the fact that they also actually run smoother and faster with the ad blocker turned on.
Like to listen to music while you're working? Who doesn't? I would be listening to music right now if I wasn't filming this video. That would be very distracting. Well, Opera has a music player built right into the sidebar of the browser, which works with Spotify, Apple Music, Dieser, Title, and more, so that you don't have to constantly be switching between apps. This makes me feel much
