This feels like watching an 80s vlog. Amazing

[@MrSamdabeast]

More like early 2000s

[@leizero]

@@MrSamdabeast like one of those handheld cam with a side-flip screen

[@onlycalves4188]

Honestly would love a full length movie of these characters

[@Fluffy6555]

They streamed Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring in these characters and it was golden

Joel uploaded one last month

[@Xbob42]

Uploaded VHS quality video in 4k. Joel Haver understands comedy on a level I can't even comprehend.

[@MsSarahJosephine]

The driving is anxiety fuel. Also not-90s vlog is an aesthetic I can get behind.

[@memerman9421]

Wtf how

[@ace-kz9id]

@Keiwah I mean I've seen worse

[@drewgoin8849]

He didn't buckle up, did he...?

[@MsSarahJosephine]

@Drew Goin Oh God I only just noticed that

[@williammagnaye8315]

That title is wild, start to finish.

[@robbiebiel7840]

Love this recurring rambling character, always talking about whatever

[@pflanzenhirn]

It took me two days to watch this short film because I had to pause and process the awkwardness. What a masterpiece.

[@fetteredfiend8746]

Joel, you’ve shown me so much, you’ve no idea. You’re films reminded me of something deep within myself and Idk, there’s probably other things that play factors in it but you’ve definitely helped me feel more human and reminded me it’s okay. I hope you’re smiling and I hope you’re just enjoying life. I could never thank you enough, but you know. Stay safe man :)

[@ProductionsJazzhands]

I absolutely love and respect you're still striking out and trying new and interesting ideas like this, even after you've found your niche and audience. All your videos and ideas, new and old, are funny and well-executed. Great stuff.

[@samali8718]

This is an documentary not an skit anymore.

[@DannySullivanMusic]

True class

[@bobcostas6272]

the ultra hipster

[@khartoumist1031]

Desperately clutching that can of Arizona like trying to hold onto the glory days of our adolescence

[@flare0080]

Former Rite Aid employee here, we only received 10% off products like drinks and 25% off of Rite Aid branded products but it's been a while so perhaps they've changed the policy. Loved the video, Joel. Thank you for the content you bring us.

[@captainfach]

Immersion ruined

[@dharmallars]

But have they changed their employee masturbation policy?

[@KingofGermanic]

That awkward rambling in the beginning is top notch. Really makes me fear for my life being anywhere near this guy.

[@SuperSheep18]

I'm from the Midwest and I almost can't watch some of your content like this video because of how insufferably accurate and believable you make the characters, events and mannerisms. It's like watching this weird slice of life from my past and I just can't look away. Thank you for making this.

[@880User088]

NO SCHOOL BULLY CAN HOLD ME ADVENTURE AWAITS HUZZAH!

[@shartwarrior]

This is uncomfortably sad/cringe/relatable at the same time

[@PP-ok2xt]

The Jack Stevens part really got me, I knew some people like this who's drug really fucking damaged them. It feels so authentic, grats on the performance to everyone involved. You should do a coming of age film about caleb one day lol
