I need a follow up video that is just Jack thinking that them canceling the show was "fake". So he does a lot of really interesting things when no ones around. Chris comes back and is all confused why Jack is still acting like a show is going on. Resolution happens, then we cut to the aliens who are actually running the show of "Earth".

🎉I Love you Jesus Loves you God Bless in Jesus' Mighty Name 😊 🎉‭Romans‬ ‭5:6‭-‬11‬ ‭NIV‬ [6] You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. [7] Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. [8] But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! [10] For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! [11] Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. 🎉‭Romans‬ ‭6:1‭-‬4‬ ‭NIV‬ [1] What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? [2] By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? [3] Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? [4] We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life 🎉‭1 John‬ ‭4:1‭-‬3‬ ‭NIV‬ [1] Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. [2] This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, [3] but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. 🎉‭1 John‬ ‭4:4‭-‬6‬ ‭NIV‬ [4] You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. [5] They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. [6] We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood. 🎉‭1 John‬ ‭4:7‭-‬8‬ ‭NIV‬ [7] Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. [8] Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. [18] There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. [19] We love because he first loved us. [20] Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. [21] And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister. 🎉‭Matthew‬ ‭5:38‭-‬48‬ ‭NIV‬ [38] “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ [39] But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. [40] And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. [41] If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. [42] Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. [43] “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ [44] But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, [45] that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. [46] If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? [47] And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? [48] Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. ❤😊❤😊

[@caliber009]

This is genuinely a fear of mine. The idea of one day someone says "Yeah sorry man, you're actually a TV show, and a pretty horrible one at that. The season where you tried and failed to become a pro athlete was just too embarrassing to watch."

Hey, you tried, and that's compelling TV right there.

[@KayFabeMedia]

Hey that season sounds hilarious..... I mean uplifting and inspiring.

[@spelcheak]

That’s a new level of horror from the original Truman show. You try to make a great change in your life but fail then the ratings plummet and your still upbeat about it at first but they can’t afford to help make your life have any interest anymore and it gets objectively depressing and becomes a downward spiral. Because the “world” is just what the producers shill out for, like any local activities/events would go from being masterplanned events with tailored storylines just for him to just like work parties with random show office workers and stuff that don’t want to be there…

This is hilarious! There are times when I use The Truman Show as a way of motivating myself, like "are you really gonna subject your fans to another *spending the day in bed hungover, except to pick up a pizza and to drink water* episode?" It's hit or miss. But I think I'm gonna go for a walk in the sun right now lol ... right after the next KZbin video

[@zekeblume566]

Yeah. I often find myself doing nothing and nothing and then I think “would my life be interesting as a tv show?”

[@ric6611]

I never thought of it like this before, but some of the things they said kinda hit. It's not like it was all bad, I had some nice seasons and stuff, but I think that I'm like Naruto and people would just skip the filler arcs and only watch like 20% of the content.

[@willzyx23]

For me it is kind of the opposite. Lime when I do bad things, and then nothing happens, I know that my life isn't a TV show, because otherwise someone would have come and put me in jail already....

[@ShadowDemon_4]

When I saw The Truman Show movie I always figured the audience just assumed he was playing along otherwise a large amount of people would of definitely tried to contact him to help him. The moment the movie ended I immediately imagined the aftermath of Truman telling the world his story and taking the show runners to court. All of show runners and casts would be sued and many sent to jail for basically imprisoning him and Truman would have difficulty with having a real life due to his paranoia and trama. It would take probably many years but the happiest ending I could imagine for him was living on an island and marrying the girl he originally loved.

[@SebastianJVW]

People did try contacting him. In one scene a guy tries parachuting in, but Truman is facing the wrong way and security mobs the guy before he turns around. There was even a protest group called the Free Truman Alliance that we see occasionally.

[@ShadowDemon_4]

​@@SebastianJVWHuh, I either never noticed or forgot about that. You have to wonder how much money they had to not only make the entire town but probably pay off any authorities concerned for Truman. Imagine if they had people assassinated just to keep the show running.
