I totally agree with jay forman. Your take on reaction videos, which is honestly overdone on KZbin, is just so much better than basically everyone else.

[@ThornyLittleFlower]

I like that he just Googles' info he wants to know instead of the usual 'please tell me in the comments.' Bull💩 the others pull.

[@Mikefizzled]

@@ThornyLittleFlower 'Tell me in the comments' and then there's not even a hint they are interacting with said comments.

[@michaelkennedy8270]

Yup, JJ is insanely good at this. He turns reaction into an art form, and a seriously funny art form to boot. He deserves so many more subscribers.

[@Mikefizzled]

@@michaelkennedy8270 JJ's style doesn't lend itself as easily compared to some lazy reactors. I'd bet a recent chunk of most reactor's audience is only watching for positive reinforcement and they'll barely care about the reactor themself. Whereas JJ going on little research tangents to investigate the topics or rewinding to catch all the jokes like Jay said isn't hitting that positive reinforcement as frequently.

On the topic of penguins, you really need to look into Major General Sir Nils Olav III. Mascot of the Norwegian Kings Guard and resident of Edinburgh Zoo, he occasionally inspects the troops and it is excellent. To quote wikipedia: The next honour was a knighthood, awarded during a visit by soldiers from the Norwegian King's Guard on 15 August 2008. The knighthood was approved by King Harald V and Nils was the first penguin to receive such an honour in the Norwegian Army. During the ceremony a crowd of several hundred people watched the 130 guardsmen on parade at the zoo, and a citation from the King was read out, which described Nils as a penguin "in every way qualified to receive the honour and dignity of knighthood".

Re. 🎶"Jerusalem" - by "The Hoppers" sounds like a cheesy Europop song...rather than the hymn "Jerusalem", with music written by Sir Hubert Parry in 1916. The famous orchestration was written by Sir Edward Elgar in 1922, & features every year at the "Last Night of the Proms" in the Albert Hall in London. The lyrics are based on "And did those feet in ancient time" - a poem by English poet & painter William Blake, from the preface to his epic "Milton: A Poem in Two Books" printed in 1808. Blake was generally dismissed as bonkers in his lifetime, but was highly regarded by later critics, as being ahead of his time. Ho-hum.

[@takilatime]

I agree with jay foreman, you definitely bring something unique. It’s always interesting to see your takes on British culture. Also you posted the wrong Jerusalem video. You should watch the actual song. It’s a poem set to a hymn and is the unofficial anthem of england

[@rayaqueen9657]

Tho it's unofficial, it is actually played at sporting events etc where England plays as a single nation.

[@alexanderwiles2003]

its absolutely awesome that jay has noticed you and did what very few youtubers do and looked into a reactors content to see what they are actually doing and i have to agree with him when it comes to what makes you stand up. i hope his words have given you even more motivation to keep smashing it

The cat in the box is owned by Schrodinger. It's Schrodinger's cat. Also, at the same time, there is no cat in the box and it isn't owned by Schrodinger (and it's quite possibly also dead as well). It is and isn't Schrodinger's cat at the same time. I would explain this better. But quantum physics literally makes no sense, so I can't.

[@davidrenton]

typically when you finish high school (secondary school) in the UK, the accepted form of celebration is to go get drunk as a skunk on the cheaptest nastiest booze you can get, none of this graduation nonsense, you might burn your uniform and tell the girl you pined over for the last 5 years you like her knowing you will never see her again, hence the cheap booze helps with the inevitable rejection and humilation. US High school graduations seem a whole lot of fuss over nothing

[@stumblepuppy606]

that's the wrong Jerusalem song. The song referenced started as a poem by William Blake in 1804, set to music by Hubert Parry in 1916. And did those feet in ancient time, Walk upon Englands mountains green: And was the holy Lamb of God, On Englands pleasant pastures seen! And did the Countenance Divine, Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here, Among these[c] dark Satanic Mills? Bring me my Bow of burning gold: Bring me my Arrows of desire: Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold: Bring me my Chariot of fire! I will not cease from Mental Fight, Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand: Till we have built Jerusalem, In Englands green & pleasant Land.

[@janolaful]

Antarctica doesn't belong to anyone. There is no single country that owns Antarctica. Instead, Antarctica is governed by a group of nations in a one-of-a-kind international partnership called The Antarctic Treaty, which was first signed by representatives from seven countries on December 1, 1959
