You put everything I felt about this video in words more perfectly than I. I love Brandon and his videos give me so much life and happiness. His characters and Brandon as himself are the type of people I would be so happy to be friends with. He's definitely the reason for keeping me sane throughout my college years especially through the pandemic where everything just sucks and bad. Even at my worse, I will always go back to Brandon for comfort, even watching his older videos like the Theatre Class series makes me feel like Im walking on angry clouds

[@rubinmuslake]

The fact Brandon said that humans innately know how to laugh from birth which means we inherently experience humour and desire bonds really strikes true to me. Humans and even some animals experience laughter (or closest equivalent) and by extent the emotions, and desire of bonds that comes with it, even at ages with little to no real sense of self or sentience. It isn't taught to you, it's something that sits in your soul and is drawn forth uncontrollably when interacting with those you love, or when something happens that creates that same reaction. Humans are inherently positive beings. For me, this even furthers the proof that negative people are the product of positive people put through negative experiences, and that humans aren't fundamentally evil beings like a lot think. It's cool to think about that fact knowing this, the question of human morality.

[@youraveragegamer6145]

And this is why we love this guy because he is so genuine in everything he says or does

[@hex255]

People are not evil or pure when they come into this world We are quite literally blank slates human morality does not relate to all people in the same way we’re all individuals who experience and have different biological make up there isn’t some God above us programming us to be a certain way when we come out the womb we’re just like animals bugs plants

[@marinetter.8423]

Some human beings can't feel emotions.

[@small_and_dangerous2068]

I really find it fascinating too! I used to work with children who were a year and a half to two years of age. That period of life for a child is so pivotal because it’s their first time experiencing what the world is like beyond their past constraints. They’re walking, many can talk (on varying levels depending on age and the individual), and they’re learning how to interact with adults and children their own age. I’ve seen examples of extreme compassion from the youngest of toddlers. My favorite example is of one summer when I was watching four boys. I had one on the changing table and was dealing with that situation when one of the boys (he was younger than two) came up to me. It was summer so I had shorts on and he started poking at my leg. He started crying and said “owwie!” I was distracted and said: “Oh, you have an owwie? Oh no! I’ll look at it in one moment, okay?” But he kept whining and poking my leg and saying “owwie?” I finally realized he was pointing to a nasty looking cut on my leg (I’m a clutz, I get em all the time lol). He was sad because he thought I was hurt. I can’t even begin to explain to you how I felt in that moment. I couldn’t take my hand off the boy I was changing, but I so wanted to sweep him off his feet and hug him! I did assure him I was fine and that it didn’t hurt. But that was genuine compassion from a baby who was on the cusp of understanding how the world works. And it’s beautiful.

[@shiomicchi7247]

As a theatre kid, it makes me green with envy to see how effortlessly Brandon can switch characteers at the drop of a hat when I have to spend weeks getting into the headspace of a single character. Whether he's in character or not though, Brandon is a wonderful individual and seems like he'd be awesome to hang out with

[@small_and_dangerous2068]

I feel that! I think a benefit Brandon has is that he makes up these characters though, so they’ve always kinda lived in his head. Unless you’re talking about characters you’ve written yourself?

[@small_and_dangerous2068]

I know I have “characters” I play around my house for example lol. I do dumb voices and act a certain way because I feel like it and it’s always when I’m in a certain mood or something! If you want to really get a fun character just improvised, drink something with a lot of caffeine and hang out with theater friends and just see what comes out 🤣 A lot of my characters are caffeine induced hyper freaks LOL

[@grossogretoes]

i’ve always been the same way as brandon, i had a million different characters i’d switch to instantly. but i feel like if i was assigned a character to do, especially if someone else has already done it, im sure it’d take me a while to be able to do it the way i’d want to

Fr I look up to him bc of it

[@shibahariba9465]

The section "escaping from reality" really hit me in so many ways. I never thought of laughter as such this valuable thing and I never realized that I do that with my friends as much as I can. I am always going through such a rough time but whenever I am with the few that I have (present and past) I always make it my goal and priority to make sure they have the best time possible laughing and just feeling free. I recently just made a new friend and the other day we went to lunch since we were scheduled for it at the same time, and we laughed so hard we wheezed and it was just such a grate feeling. despite the worst I have been though, every single moment of pure laughter has always gotten me to a place of peace within the chaos. Everything is making sense. Thank you, truly.

It's so surreal to see such a human side to Brandon, I get so used to seeing him as his characters it's really grounding to see this side of him. I'm so glad you did this interview, it reminds us that everyone is human and has their own wars no matter how happy they seem on a stage or a video.

ANTHONY NEVER DISAPPOINTS!! ❤️

[@sonial.3332]

Was watching your sketch of the mom that always “needed coffee” while getting sober. Despite the dark humor and a reminder of how my life was it gave me hope that one day I would look back and laugh at the situation like I do now sober . Thanks Brandon

[@peachganja6953]

I know this comment will get lost in the sauce but I really really hope that Brandon Rogers knows the impact he's had on his fans. I love this man so much and I have for 6 years. He's brought me smiles when I was at my lowest. Out of everyone in the world that I could meet in person he'd be in my top 5. I even made a top 10 Brandon Rogers slide show and presented it to my tech class. Brandon, if you read this comment, know that you are amazing and you inspire me and thousands of others like me.

Lost in the sause

[@Evelynsfeathers]

I got to meet him five days ago (March 2024) I was already a fan of blitz but he is much gentler and kinder in person, I love him even more now. So I've been going down a rabbit hole of brandon videos/interviews in youtube.

[@Hybs1es_]

i just got into brandons universe and ive never been so happy about comedy and i love his humour and skits. Hearing how traumatized he was before that show and just in general probably makes me so sad i just want to give him a big hug. He seems like the sweetest and funniest person on earth, whether he chabges his personality or not. I love him and im so happy hes here and found himself where hes comfortable i hope to meet him one day im proud of you brandon

[@suvixenjade6271]

This is one of the best interviews I’ve seen , very insightful and u guys vibe together so well

[@joshhale9355]

Brandon is such a smart dude, hearing his insight on all this is really refreshing. He’s completely different from his characters and seems like a genuine and caring person.

[@sarahbarley]

Anthony, could you do a video on people with trichotillomania and dermotillomania? (I've already commented this before but, I just really want to get this out there.) Or just BFRBs in general. There are a lot but those are the more common ones. I have suffered with both for years and it would be nice to see other people's stories on it. It would also be great for people who don't understand, or know about it. Thx!

[@LS-vs3il]

YES OH MY GOD PLEASE

[@rainprincess923]

honestly that would be amazing.. i suffer from trich too and people said i had cancer... we need more awareness on bfrbs.

[@sarahbarley]

@@rainprincess923 That is horrible that people said that. It's never been that bad for me and I am so sorry that people said that. This is just another reason why we need awareness!!

[@flutterbugs]

i would love this. i never knew why i so aggressively felt the need to pick and bite at the skin around my nails my entire life (was doing it as i saw your comment lol) it’d be nice to hear others that deal with it

[@zoeyguadalupe8459]

Yesss please I hope he brings Collen Ballinger, I've seen her struggles with trichotillomania and always spoke bout it. Tbh I never knew it existed until she informed her viewers bout it

[@youdidawhatnow5585]

Brandon is someone that I would’ve 100% been friends with if we had gone to high school together. I was also feeling I was just misunderstanding everyone around me and no one would ever give me the time of day to express myself

[@conanslays3850]

7:09 he really is blitzø in season 2 episode 2 when blitzø got so happy at the audience laughing and not at him

[@kadenisabicth]

I met Brandon in September of 2019. Seriously one of the sweetest most patient people ever

[@HoDoBoDo]

I was waiting for this episode. You and Brandon are like super best friends, and I love it!

[@Daniadilligaf]

Brandon is such a wonderful person! Not only is he super talented & hilarious, but he’s also super sweet. I had so much anxiety because my son was super hyper and he was an extra in one of his videos. Brandon told me how he was as a child and made it seem so normal which honestly gave me relief. Most times in public people react negatively to my sons hyperactivity and Brandon was so understanding! He’s a wonderful human being.

[@ThePupSquad]

every time i get to hear brandon talk just as himself is so exciting to me, he’s funny and intelligent and charismatic all on his own outside of his characters, he’s such a creative mind and so professional and feels so relatable im just so happy he’s grown as a content creator and that he’s got new opportunities to expand his audience and make more of the content he and his audience loves, been subbed to him pre-million subscribe special and im just so happy he’s only gotten more popular and appreciated

[@MinnieScott-jv3tr]

I really want Brandon to know how much if a good effect he has on his fans and how much joy he brings to the world. I struggle with anxiety in school, some of my friends know and that it is hard for me to come in, one if the things that helps me come in is meeting my friends at lunch. Most if my friends love helluva boss and Brandon, so during lunch I whip out my phone and we watch him together- almost as a way of bonding, and it really helps me to come in. Brandon makes people feel better with his content, me being just one of the many examples of that. He’s really helped me cope at my lowest (I know that sounds rlly cheesy but bear w me 😭) even during panic attacks I watch him, or helluva boss clips as a way to ground myself. Brandon is truly one of the sweetest and kindest people in the world, they way he interacts with his fans is so lovely. I really hope he comes to the uk sometime so I can go see him!

[@pl4net4ry]

I've been a fan of Brandon for like 6 years and I really love getting to know about him outside of his content like this.

[@yellowmelodies]

this man is amazing, ive never even realised the amount of effort he does and has gone through for comedy im truly inspired by him wow

[@ImBarelyMe]

I’m almost 18 now and I remember the first time I saw Brandon, I was legit 13 and I loved it, I’m glad to see Brandon’s ok and hasn’t completely lost himself in the characters in these last years

[@tisa37bokun57]

He's literally just a definition of: I want to have a good time amd i want others to have a good time amd that's all that matters. Also His quote: i wasn't misunderstood i was just misunderstanding others. Hits WAYYYYY close to home.

[@koolbrayden21]

Anthony:Brandon Rogers: Genius or Insane? Brandon: yes

[@hiiguess3541]

its so awesome being able to see brandon as himself, its something he doesnt show online very much so hearing his more soft spoken, positive side is lovely. his optimism and laughter is so contagious and i love that

[@sonofghouls666]

Oh my gosh Helluva Boss is one of my favourite adult animations and I knew Blitzø sounded familiar but I never realised it was Brandon!!! He definitely makes the show!!

[@scarlett285]

Slipping into your characters accidently is such a Theater kid thing to say. I feel that

[@strunkenstein3432]

I was in high school for the second half of theatre class and I remember each week waiting for a new episode, most of the time they came, sometimes they didn’t, but seeing Brandon from then to now has been such an incredible experience.

[@Zzz_zzz019]

They are so sweet to each other. The way Anthony is just complementing and Brandon's smile, it's just so cute.😊

[@rhettlevelmidnight7329]

Brandon is one of the most emotionally intelligent and introspective people I’ve ever heard.

[@mrwillyshakes7221]

Ive been watching Brandon for years and years now and I immediately was drawn to how unique and open he was when he played his characters. Thank you Brandon for sharing your comedy with me :) it means so much

[@mrwillyshakes7221]

Also everyone watch Theater Class if you havent already it is hilarious

[@alexskywalker5478]

Its awesome seeing Brandon being himself. I am lucky to hear his stories. He has amazing acting skills, and he's so funny. I love that he makes people laugh. He is such a bright unique star in this world

[@CartoDarko]

THIS WAS INCREDIBLE!! He's so interesting, I wouldn't of guessed in a million years that he had anything to do with the Hotel Cecil incident. I'm not one for interviews but this was amazing, great work both of you!! (I will admit I skipped the Helluva Boss part tho, sorry yo)
