It took me a second to realize this was a Halloween episode and Erik wasn’t just being weird

Tbf he did do a multi episode story arc for skuldr when it WASNT Halloween.

KZbin doesn’t like recommending non ad friendly videos, if it ain’t for kids then no one will see it

[@manictiger]

Comment etiquette has complex, engaging, soul-enriching humor. It is too spirited for the people that run this world. The whole point of dumping chemtrails on the people is to fill their brains with aluminum, thus dropping their I.Q.s to an acceptable level for a slave. Edgy, intelligent dialogue will not be permitted in this new world order. Covid was created to destroy these rabble rousers, but instead it just became a strong cold. Not even our attempts to enhance it with HAARP and 5G worked. Not ever our booster shots. But... We have algorithms. We can simply throttle all the interesting channels out of existence! In their place, will be a boring, dull existence. The only light in that existence will be big brother. You shall worship him. Understand that he is your savior. Accept your RFID chips, and your vaccines, like good citizens. And in turn, you shall receive the mark and be permitted luxuries. You shall worship big brother.

[@chillcreep4926]

Erik.. your content just gets better and better, and I particularly love your spooky episodes. The way you weave high quality ad reads into your commentary is always a delight, and I come away from them thinking "I might actually check that out" instead of "thank god that's done, we're getting back to the video". A '90s film critic would've described your videos as "quirky, irreverent, and full of biting satire", in that family-friendly-voiceover tone, and you would've hated it because you were at that moment locked in a debate with the censors over whether (and how often) the word "butthole" can be spoken, shown, or suggested in a single fourteen-minute segment, and you don't need some Hollywood prick trying to sell your show to toddlers. That sleazy ghoul who stole your couch change doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. Your ad reads should be longer, if anything, and you should be earning twice as much for them. Unfortunately I have to rewatch this particular episode, because I almost always watch your videos with a friend of mine and we bounced on each other's dicks for like half the runtime of this one. Something about you LARPing as a wizard, going on about demons, and enchanting a buttplug set things off. Use your powers responsibly please.
