'Originally labeled a "villain" for seizing and redistributing hamburgers to the masses, The Hamburglar has since been accepted into the McDonaldland fold, meaning he's perfectly fine cozying up to neocons like Ronald and Hobbesian fascists like Officer Big Mac'

Mayor McCheese is Alt-Right. Guaranteed.

[@samnelson7428]

The Hamburgler is clearly a leftist, its just so obvious. A well-intentioned but very, very misinformed one because they're only really harming both the local franchisee, but even moreso the min wage employees just to steal hamburgers which won't help anyone

I'm sensing that the meta joke of this video is tapping into some real anxieties you're experiencing so I just wanna reassure you that this is the best goddam channel on the platform and I'm here for whatever you upload. It's always great

[@DrLazerbeam]

That was thoughtful. I totally agree. Sometimes silly, often brilliant and for me, just authentic. Don't ever change and do what you want. Pick me up Leo if you ever warp near earth-3-but-everybody-there-thinks-its-earth-1. I want to meet that alien outlaw and do some illegal dancing.

[@imskullfungus]

You're 100% right, this is the best channel on youtube!

[@princessmaly]

Your parasocial emotional IQ is through the roof, dude, but yeah I can see that now. I just read it as straight satire, y'know because... because it's really good? I guess it's hard for me to think of "Leo Vader" and "tryhard hack desperately attempting to stay relevant and feed the algorithm" in the same breath, so the idea that someone so consistently funny and competent could be struggling with imposter syndrome when he's 100% the real deal sounds alien to me.

[@grahammantle8381]

Leo Vader has so many hallmarks of a more classic KZbin era. Cartoony side characters, a fantastical framing device, weird tangents, things that could easily be done badly. Yet he executes them with such a genuine stride. Gags I have grew weary of in most KZbinrs, I enjoy without an ounce of irony in a Leo Vader video. Each one is extremely rewatchable, which is a rare quality. Such wonderful premises full of creativity. Questions that no one asked but now keep us up at night. I relish every upload. And if somehow Mr. Vader happens upon this comment, I hope you will continue to upload for the foreseeable future. Perhaps one day you will have bad idea for a video. We have yet to see that happen, but in that instance I think we can forgive you. Even Homer nods, as they say. Nods yes to those doughnuts, know what I mean? ha ha HA

[@sebandrews4395]

I'm feeling this right now. Working on my Uni Dissertation, and I've been jumping from trying to find the perfect way to categorise all stories in human history, to innately understanding the psychology of the internet, and everything inbetween. I've felt like bullshit, overreading everything, tripping myself up in pedantic details, spiralling in big words like "metamodernism" and "gestalts" and other concepts I don't understand. I want to sum up everything I've dipped my toes into in this Bachelor's Degree but I just can't. I'm slowly accepting that I have to find something humbler I'm passionate about, work on it bit by bit, and see where I can grow from there. Maybe Downsized Matt Damon was right: sometimes, it's the small things that matter the most. Speaking of, what if Matt Damon had a teeny-tiny gun that he could use on Ant Man? I feel like that might level the playing field.

Thanks for the outro. Your videos are always innovative and hilarious, this one especially so.

Also great to see the aliens make a return, the three of you share a great chemistry.

Such a funny video that perfectly illustrates that sunken-cost feeling of spending any amount of time in a creative work, and,also how the process itself is what makes it worthwhile in the end.

if there's one thing that's persisted from Leo Vader's videos, it's the iconic score by the orchestral version of Ace Attorney games. but here's one thing you may not know about it: it's REALLY GOOD! (and so is the whole video!)

Hey Leo, I feel compelled to tell you that I enjoy your stuff in a way that I dont feel for other "content creators".

thank u for the new lore that the pig/alien planet watches matpat, as we all learned they are the only youtubers in the previous episode does this mean matpat is aware of the planet and posts on their social media? is matpat another youtuber that they deem quality enough to use the platform? does the authoritarian deciding what is and isn't quality enough to be on youtube affect the culture? but that's just a theory............
