You know, a few days ago, when you and I were talking on the phone and you said "It's not like anyone broke into my home and is pointing a gun at me," I found that odd. But then you said you had to go check on the thing with the freezer cabinet stove, so I figured you were just busy. We should develop a code word for this kind of thing.

I appreciate the comment in the description about not using the model AK-47 for those various reasons that I don't need to specify in this space. It's bummer to have to consider that, and at the same time I respect making the simple choice to swap it and keep life slightly simpler and potentially less stressful for folks. Adds a unique thing to the video that people like and doesn't detract from the concept itself. I might be overanalyzing, but I want to give credit to you that you didn't let those various reasons destroy a creative concept that sprouted last year. Hell yeah.

I honestly cannot decide what my favourite moment was. The gag where we agree to give ER our gun (and hand?!) AND he then gives it back? Mac n' Cheese ASMR? The on-screen correction during the tibia scene because ER is NOT going to let us be misinformed about bones? The bit near the end where ER lightly schools us on how HE would have carried out this stick-up (and implies we suck lmao)? I cannot decide. This man is comedy ascended.

ASMR is an amazing sensation that can be triggered by a variety of stimuli, and this Gunpoint video is a particularly unique and intense example. While the idea of being held at gunpoint is certainly frightening, the gentle whispers and comforting sounds employed by the ASMRtist create a sense of safety and relaxation that is truly remarkable. It just goes to show that ASMR can be found in even the most unexpected places, and I'm grateful for the creative individuals who are able to tap into this fascinating phenomenon in such innovative ways.
