[@anemoane6358]

I think we need to remind Shane that normal people can’t turn off fear

[@bowieworld]

can other people really not do that are me and shane freaks of nature

[@guidetoanything]

I don't think he turns off his fear, every human has fears, but I understand where his humor comes from, most of these stories are humorous because they are trying to convey a real feeling by using unrealistic events. That said, they are still fantastic stories, and I hope the author feels happy whether his stories inspire fear or laughter, both are good outcomes in the horror genre, and Bikram is a great writer.

[@sethescope]

@@bowieworld I don't think you can actually turn off your fear response. even if you've had a massively traumatic brain injury (for instance, getting a pole shoved through most of your brain, as in a famous case), it wouldn't be like a toggle switch. with that kind of TBI, you just wouldn't feel fear anymore because that part of your brain had been injured. fear is a fundamental process in your brain, it's a survival mechanism. you can't turn it off, even in situations where you have to cope with chronic traumatic stress where your brain will believe whatever it needs to in order for the chronic trauma to stop being terrifying. even then, you're not toggling it and it's not an active conscious choice, it's another survival mechanism. in chronic trauma situations, all you can do is compartmentalize, but again, it's not an active, fully conscious and aware and calm "I am not going to be scared now" there's also a difference between being able to self soothe and come down from being scared vs "I've decided I am no longer going to be scared"

[@T.Florenz]

@guidetoanything @sethescope it's a quote from Shane that he can turn off his fear response. I believe it is from his episode of Spooky Small Talk, if I'm remembering correctly.

[@sethescope]

The rest of the season's stories have been incredibly lackluster and never had good endings (most didn't have endings). But this one is without a doubt the best story of the season. It being a little more grounded in reality and the narrator being just some guy helped it a lot. And of course that they played on a lot of people's fears of a silent stalker, especially a clown/mime figure. Not the scariest story, and honestly it didn't get anything but a laugh from me, but it was genuinely fun to hear whatever the mime was about to do next. Great job to the writer for creating a fun little story that you could tell at a campfire to kids and unintentionally give them a fear of mimes or to scare a couple of drunk/high friends on the weekends.

I beg to differ with both of you. Puppet History takes the win for me. And after the depth which it has gone to regarding lores, ✨Immaculate✨

[@ieatpeopleand]

@@satarupagingerkolay Truth be told, it was a toss up between PH and TMS, it came down to the fact that I've always liked campfire tales.

[@satarupagingerkolay]

@@ieatpeopleand I've never been camping so I wouldn't comment on Campfire stories and its experience but TMS is amazing too. I mean the wildness which those three boys and now Ricky brings, ✨beautiful✨. Honestly, at this point, Watcher's contents are keeping me sane.

[@olliesadventures185]

Weird wonderful.world is still my fave

[@CantStayAway]

Shane's promo makes me believe that I would never want to be interrogated by him cuz he gives off very intimidating-creepy vibes really well

[@eponymouselias]

All of these stories sound like something someone would tell the Magnus Institute, London. (The mime is 100% an entity of the Stranger)

[@gardenoffoxgloves]

MAGNUS INSTITUTE FANS RIIIIIISE!!!!!

[@genovevabascunan2315]

I WAS JUST THINKING!! This is an entire building for the Stranger, such a creepy visual, loved the story!

[@Minefox25773]

Honestly that’s all I was thinking of!!

[@ImaginaryDimension]

I totally agree with Shane with this one, that mime is amazing and I'm in love him him.

[@Happypheat]

I recently found out my fear of clowns also reaches out to mimes. I think it's the face paint. weirdly juggalos don't bother me

[@tabbybragg5296]

I love how the Mime's response to someone not liking his performance was to Q.Q and then yeet himself down the stairwell. That would be exactly what I would do, too 😂😂😂

[@Dressup_Doll]

“Are you scared of clowns?” Wouldn’t you like to know, Weather Boy?

[@chloecowan5869]

“Are you scared of mimes?” Yes. Very. Please continue.

[@shumlina]

I definitely needed the comedy in between the telling of the story, because this one reeeeally got me. I'm not even scared of mimes or clowns, and this had me tearing up. Bikram Mann wins again!

[@sawace1]

If my dad was scared of mimes I'd be bringing them up all the time

[@noodlepudding3464]

I had a dream last night that I met Shane at a beach. I just saw him there. Turns out that Shane is REALLY MEAN in dreams. Next time, I’ll try an imaginary mime costume.

[@AusUnHus]

I love the “are you scared” videos, have been watching them since the first “are you scared” video. My favorite one was the wall man one. Edit: Thank you guys for liking my comment, never would have though it would get 250 likes! I would like to see what your favorite was, just comment on my comment!

[@Mariasantacruz2005]

Same! But my favorite is the holiday special. The ending is amazing!

[@AlessaParker]

me three :) my favorite one is the home alone one. the one where the narrator hides in his attic as an intruder on meth searches for him. and I have to mention #2 the one with the screaming rabbits and #3 the mannequin one

[@candybird]

@@jessicachaidez9338 I love these new ones because I like how creative some of them can get, but I really miss when they would mix fictional stories with real ones

[@AusUnHus]

@@AlessaParker those are also good

[@AusUnHus]

@@candybird yes I agree

[@cass2000]

Never have I ever been afraid of mimes. This story has changed that. So terrifying! Well written, well illustrated and well delivered, thanks!

[@CaNTjOURnEeY87]

I love the sketches they're so good,it makes the story so much more and engaging

[@xlvlydwnx]

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM TO FINALLY HEAR RYAN SAY ‘till the end OF THE NIGHT’

[@sandrafaith]

The artwork in these videos is perfection. Kudos to Mollie Ong!

[@parasaurolofun]

This might be my favorite story from this season. I love the art, and the mime is just a silly little guy.

[@FaerieFen]

I love this series so much. Ryan's narration voice is so calming. And Shane is so snarky.

[@bayoo3]

Shane screaming “I love this mime!” was the scariest part of this video

[@Jpanda22]

Ahhh it's the one story a season that actually terrifies me

[@shayne_has_landed2511]

“There’s something unsettling about a mime” Stop it. Greg is the nicest mime I’ve ever met; he’s a real sweetheart. Shoutout to Greg.

[@sarahbums]

shane's jacket is giving off strong '70s Carl Sagan vibes and im here for it

[@Listening_Books12345]

Love Bikram's shout out about respecting strippers. Unexpected but very appreciated

[@itsangeline]

i wasn't expecting a lot from this story but it's probably my favorite out of the whole series it's so insane

[@katcc21]

this one is honestly hilarious because the mime in the art is just so cute. it's too cute. i love it.

[@jaybutler779]

Shane brings up a good point. I would believe pretty much anything he swears on as cannon proof of its existence

[@Felsenkeks]

Idk why but this one actually got to me. Specifically the drawings of the mime close up. And then the one where it switches to essentially the same drawing but he is then smiling... I actually flinched.

[@Swtxblade]

Why's the mime drawing low-key cute tho

[@viperv6768]

I really liked this one! The mime was super entertaining, especially how he was taunting him and the applause at the end.

[@jevilcore]

Honestly this mime is a fucking master of his craft. I want to go to this mall. I love him.

[@xxchesire_catxx8176]

This one genuinely got me this time. Something about the mime moving up the stairs without us ever SEEING him moving; the mocking, sadistic way he torments the dad; the slow clapping and the reveal of the mime being EVERYWHERE before disappearing completely. Simply fucking masterful, was freaked out of my mind.

[@eric13zombie]

I love how Shane says this is a bad mime in the beginning but he says “this is a good fucking mime” afterwards

[@beyoncenoona]

we had a mime at one of our bigger events earlier this year and he was chased down by a group of like 20 kids. it's like they were out for blood, they were not going to let that mime get away. as he was running back into the green room to get away from the kids he looked over at me and his face just said FEAR lmao

[@jediping]

Probably my fave of the season, though I think the Noah’s Ark one got me the most scared or at least traumatized by the idea of slowly dying of thirst and starvation.

[@Arushi701]

This story was amazing! I had to actually pause the video at times because of how scary it was. It's one of the best of the series.

[@brooke1257]

I pride myself on not getting scared but this episode has humbled me lmao

[@sunniegb]

Bikram, my dude, you’re killing it with these stories. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every single one. Ordering your book immediately!
