Same! I love that hecklefish is the childish "little brother" so-to-speak. I love this channel for so many other reasons, too, though.

[@iscovidoveryet7828]

I used to go to a Catholic French school in St.Catharines Ontario with a kid in my 4th grade class in the late 60's, who began getting attacked by a Poltergeist at home. I remember teachers whispering among themselves when talking about what was happening to him, and waving the sign of the cross. Was always nice kid, we liked him. Eventually Police were called to his home, and even filed unexplainable events in their reports that they'd witnessed for themselves. He left school that spring, and heard his family moved to Quebec. That was pretty much the last we'd heard of him, but the events made it into local Police Reports and The St.Catharine Standard newspaper.

[@DMFH2A]

Hecklefish is the exact right choice for the position he was hired for.

[@andrewgordon9588]

Hecklefish 2024

[@SignorJozo]

He does seem a bit fishy.

[@tparr01]

You guys knock it out of the park EVERY week. Have a good, well earned rest. We Love you!

[@bobmorgan8748]

Glad this has gotten almost three and a half million views. I watched this although I'd already seen the episodes and there were things I'd missed. Keep up the good work. This is a real fun channel to keep track of. I enjoy every episode!

[@MikeD_]

I think you're looking at his subscribers. He has nearly 3.5 million, which is great and growing. He has over one million views for this one episode, which is excellent for a compilation.

[@xyzib9572]

I LOVE your older videos- they are a TON OF FUN! I appreciate your drive to do the best possible- lots of us though don’t necessarily notice/ focus on all those things your own inner critic will name. Why? We are so caught up in your wonderful storytelling and HF’s jokes.😂 Love you guys- thanks for bringing fun and joy in crazy times!❤

[@dazzledunn-deal1448]

Aj, if you happen to see this please know that you are so respected, liked, admired and loved by my family. When i saw a video recently that seemed like someone may want toncause you sabotage my heart went out to you immediately. Please know that your character speaks for itself and my family is praying for you! ❤❤❤

[@enterthecatalyst]

I have a stigmatism so I thought you were praising and pleading for your life to AI.

[@MrArtVein]

​@@enterthecatalystI also have an astigmatism, only reason I knew to double take is cuz it's my nickname too 😂

[@mickeyknoxx8371]

This show is a staple in my family’s household. Literally the only show I’ve followed loyally since the x-files

[@robthegod5646]

Just finished this compilation .. and on to the next! I really appreciate yall leaving us with content while yall unwind and prepare for the following season!!

[@ladyjaysindeore1113]

AJ and Hecklefish make my week in any form. I hope y’all feel better soon and enjoy your time off!

[@CassInNC]

You guys work so hard for us! Thank you! 🙏🏽 Enjoy the lack of a posting deadline for a while. We’ll be ready for your comeback when you are!

[@fantasyflare]

That ad is hysterical 🎉

[@askfadzean]

wouldnt you for TENS of THOUSANDS of $$ a week in patrions and merch?.....

[@bigal3928]

The professionalism and quality of the show is top notch, it's interesting to see that this has been built and improved over time!

[@gregorygolden1296]

AJ, you have the best channel on KZbin. No doubt. You and the "little smartass" sure do the research,homework. Thanks for putting a great spin on all kinds of crazy things in and out of this world. Love the little guy's take on your subjects.

[@KristinaRasmusson-vz8eq]

Burnout? Never. Not possible. Not even if you obsess over it. I f*** love this channel .

[@frostwireless]

Thank you for posting in the afternoon, it's difficult to watch late at night, but i cant help but stay up as long as possible to enjoy every Thursday!

[@eire542]

Same usually have to wait up till 2am when it comes out my Time

[@TheFerretLives]

Same here, you must be in the UK too? Yep I used to watch the premieres live at 2am then watch After Files until nearly 6! I was pretty much nocturnal last year but my sleep is almost normal now so harder to do

[@tylerpeters2624]

I agree, post at 6 instead of fucking 9 on the east coast.

[@eire542]

@@TheFerretLives no Ireland but same thing same time I must not be the only adult who watches his show 😅

[@AmazonEventer]

Thank You AJ, Hecklefish and all the team!! Hope you're enjoying your break, and thank u for the compilation! ❤❤❤

[@laurenmarcoux8986]

Awesome compilation! Love seeing how far you have come ❤️ Thank you for always producing some of the BEST content I’ve ever come across!!!

[@andrealowe1083]

Thank you AJ, Hecklefish, Valerie and everyone. I appreciate your objectivity and qualifying that while you don’t always believe, you treat people with respect if they do. You deliver information while being respectful. That is all I need I truth with objectivity and the information I need to decide for myself ,and places to do my research! I love The Why files!

[@sexgod57able]

Ed and Lorraine Warren was one of my all time favorite episodes. So happy to hear it again. Thank you.

[@Tine83]

My favorite show on all of youtube! Lots of love from Germany ❤ Take all the time you need AJ, we will still be here when you get back ❤️

[@TheSpanishInquisition87]

I'm honestly glad you're taking a break for a while. I'll miss the new episodes, but it's important not to work yourself to death. I don't think Hecklefish could carry the show by himself.

[@candistarbuckle]

That would be a fun concept to play around with, though, sort of an “AJ’s away, the Hecklefish will play” idea 😏🧐

[@nicolec7290]

Don’t let him hear that.

[@gweedo1312]

Im so for it let's get a petition going...lol​@@candistarbuckle

[@johnsmith-po9gt]

Just hecklefish no….but hecklefish AND spacepanda now we’re talkin!

[@censheard7019]

I’m happy to admit 3 of these were new videos to me, I thought I had watched your full back catalogue so thank you for the compilation cuz otherwise I may never have seen them! Wishing you lots of rest, lots of peace of mind and of body. And most of all lots of joy.

[@Celtopia]

I have to say,.....your sing at the end, is my tune i walk to work with every morning, and is a true inspirational tune for when i feel stressed.....thank you for being you.

[@churrle8528]

You deserve the break man. Can’t tell you how much we all appreciate you AJ! Thanks for all you do. I just got 90 minutes of the deepest tissue massage I’ve ever have had. Highly recommend.

[@MartynColebourne]

This is honestly one of the best if not the best shows ive had the pleasue of watching snd i genuinely look forward to each and every new episode. Pls keep up the fantasic work x

[@Redkrovvy]

Omg I love the beginning so much!!!! One of my favorite movies

[@zuzoon437]

Love listening to your stuff as i fall asleep. So relaxing but sometimes it keeps me up because of how interesting the tales are and how funny Hecklefish is.

[@stumbleinn597]

Reading between the lines, it looks like you may be going through a lot of stress AJ, whatever you do look after yourself first. The channel and indeed all of us will still be here

[@user-zr8vb9vg9n]

MIB is after him for exposing too much info.

[@thomasgirty6397]

excellent things are worth waiting for !!!! one of the best series on KZbin.

[@shawnkeys4712]

Not surprised you need a break. This is an amazing channel but it must be a massive thing to develop each week. Thanks for all the effort you put in to bring us these amazing episodes. Know that YOU are appreciated

[@kimberlyoconnor985]

AJ I can totally relate to how you are feeling. If you truly enjoy what you are doing don't let much time come between your show and your break. It's so damn hard to get back into the swing again.❤❤❤❤ I love your show

[@danmigneault6103]

AJ, I lisent your videos when i m down and it’s like magic, you’re happiness and love of life and intelligent way to inform us change my feelings from sad and discouraged to happy and willing to do continue!! DONT STOP BEING YOU AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK AND TIME YOU PUT IN! We need more AJ in this world!! Maybe the gouvernement would stop thinking we are idiots and respect us for what we really are! Please more AJ!!

[@nsedwards]

I love the format you've gone with, tell the story as if it's proven and then give the actual facts, perfect. You guys are awesome, please keep it up :)

[@michaelt2939]

Imagine my face when I saw how long this video is. My Saturday night is sorted! Thanks, AJ, from NE England.

[@anthonyariola1149]

Love you AJ! My favorite show by far! Please keep doing your thing when you feel up to it. You have been cranking them out like crazy and I for one am super thankful!

[@Re-written.]

You’re honestly my favourite KZbin channel. Actually brightens my day when I see a new video of yours pop up on my feed

[@SilkySime_TheAussieGameCat]

I discovered The Why Files about a year ago. Since then it is my favourite thing to watch OVER ANYTHING on any platform. I cannot thank everyone involved with bringing this content to us all. Got my wisdom teeth ripped out yesterday. Choice for headphones? Had to be Hollow Moon. Cheers legends

[@kaykaystern]

My favorite channel too‼️‼️🤸🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️

[@The..Dark..Knight]

Ok, the "SE7EN" spoof about "Hecklekicks" was awesome! "I might have overreacted." 😆 You guys never cease to amaze me. I remember finding you guys from the beginning and was always really impressed with the quality of content that you put out from day 1. I knew I was witnessing something special. I'm happy for you guys and you deserve the rapid growth and positive feedback from everyone. I think the biggest thing that always set you apart were telling the stories as if they were real. And only going over their believability or the credibility of those involved at the wrap-up. And of course Hecklefish is a stroke of genius.

[@krtallygirl]

Came to the comments to say the same thing! Amazing work!

[@jtbaying2312]

I want the high Tops.

[@benl4198]

Man i love this channel. Take your time, AJ. These compilations are great for me, even saw a couple of the early ones i hadnt made it to yet

[@heathermyers4513]

My son is 11 and we watched The Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and he had a very hard time. I wasnt aware of the graphic content compared to the other Guardian shows. He rolled up and couldn't watch it, he hates Shrek, and I can't watch Polar Express. He is adhd/aspergers and I am adhd. I assumed he connected on a personal, real level and cared for the characters so much he couldn't watch the torture Raccoon went through. This uncanny valley makes alot of sense visually and on a comprehensive level frightening. Thanks so much for the explanation.

[@chriscarter4563]

Best ad I’ve ever seen AJ. Jesus Christ you go above and beyond with everything you do, we appreciate it!

[@davidsafi4757]

I cried watching your video on Reddit. I’m 29 and my father has Parkinson’s disease and my mother has cancer. I’m the only child and caregiver and your story hit close to home. I also lost my only dog ever 12/15/2023. You really hit close to home man. Take care of your health.

[@creightonleerose582]

Oh man, thats SO MUCH to assist with @ that age. GoodOnYa. >>Truly LOVE DEMONSTRATED

[@sukhwindergrewal1262]

What happened to AJ?

[@MsLulu-jr4on]

I’m sending you lots of good vibes ✨✨. Please don’t forget to take care of yourself. Hope your parents’ conditions get better 🙏

[@dazzledunn-deal1448]

What video on Reddit?!?! Does AJ have parkinsons?!?!?! I just thought he was taking time off to handle the mess that chick made up!!!

[@Doogley9x56f]

Hi Dear Friend read Medical Medium books for protocols to heal your parents and your heavy heart and watch Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj for the path to free yourself from physical suffering. Just give this a try my friend.

[@millenials_best]

Compilation videos are awesome for me because I work out in woods with no cell reception. I can download these videos though and be entertained all day at work. Thanks AJ and crew. You're truly a step above.

[@jolinhsu1149]

I totally enjoy this channel. I regret that I did not find this earlier. Now thanks to this wonderful idea of “combined rerun”, I can watch from the beginning. Thanks a bunch!

[@capnohan]

.... combined rerun..... Love it....lmao

[@ronndobandss2051]

Honestly I love this especially the fact that you’re so humble to post your humble beginnings Never forget where you came from. Seen about EVERY video you posted the last 2 years so seeing your older content is such a treat

[@damonkelly2583]

And thee award for best KZbin channel goes to….. Keep up the great channel AJ, easily my favorite pastime on the internet 🙌🏾

[@angelstar22]

This is awesome! I love this compilation! Even though I've already watched some of these shows, it's great seeing them again! Thank you!
