It's not a banger, it's all bullshit. That's what he was getting at; there will never be an end to the conspiracies because some new stupidity will always be invented to satiate the types of people who need to overthink shit, and the whole point is that George should have never cared about the conspiracy shit and just lived his life.

@@balouthebear2942 Q is a person or group of people pretending to be Trump-supporting government insiders that repeatedly claimed that "we" are 2-3 months away from "major happenings," some newsworthy and beneficial to the Trump voter base, often through cryptic messaging that make his followers feel smart and involved by deciphering them. The height of Q popularity was during the Trump administration, and the effect of the messaging was the building of a large following of conspiracy theory enthusiasts, and also a quelling of Trump supporter concerns over him not fulfilling any major campaign promises (other than tax cuts), as these people never got anything done. Their "trust the plan" slogan diverted Trump supporter criticism and relieved pressure on Trump to follow through on his controversial 2016 campaign promises. This has led to some to believe in another conspiracy theory, that some conspiracy theories are spread in order to prevent any action on anything real being taken. Debates about the physics of steel beams, bullet trajectories, and demonic forces displace and discredit-by-association debate about who is responsible, who benefitted, and who are complicit.

It's crazy this fucking animation of curious George can both make me laugh and then cry because of how beautifully scripted it was

[@chrisraedeke8649]

What. A. Rollercoaster. I went from giggling like a child, to serious adult introspection, then the depths of despair and lastly almost shed a tear at the cover of a freaking Jack Johnson song. Never stop doing what you do Joel.

[@Ferrari255GTO]

Yeah it's wild from start to finish, stupid easy to forget that that's suposed to be a shitpost about a curious monkey

[@mikedacoolnerd788]

In all fairness Curious George's ost goes kind of hard. Jack Johnson did a good job on it.

[@majorpwner241]

Personally I was just laughing the whole time. Getting deep and philosophical with a cartoon monkey talking can only be so deep lmao

[@smithnameman5588]

Almost? Not over the cover, but over the story.

[@jacksonmeeks9313]

I am continuously impressed by your ability to ride the line between humor and the heavier things. This is gold.

It’s amazing. Joel must have some preternatural sense for where to cut things, especially without causing neck-breaking whiplash.

George is spitting facts. Love is the most important thing in this world. Not necessarily romance, just valuing those around you, or even showing kindness to anyone.

I love how George's gravestone does not say Curious George. Before death he stopped being curious and learned the importance of embracing the people who love him, so now he is simply just George.

[@user-si3zv6os3c]

Wow brilliant explanation for someone who is not on board! Eye eye captain! Thanks, p.s. I still not knowning who is the curious George, but it's not the point

[@mikedacoolnerd788]

@@user-si3zv6os3c Curious George was a series of children's books in the U.S that was adapted into a movie in the 2000's. It was later made into a show on U.S Public Broadcasting Station (PBS). The song playing at the end of the video was the first song that played in the Curious George movie called "Upside-down" by Jack Johnson. The movie is very nostalgic to me and as movies made for little kids go Curious George is really good; George is just ridiculously cute.

@@tefweebz um it sounds absolutely sane? where have you been? missed the whole epstien situation? try actually looking into pizza gate, its real. i mean cmon an out of work actor storms the place and fires 1 shot from his gun that goes through a door and directly into the hard drive a a PC. leaked emails between people talking about pizza related things that sound exactly like the stupid codes drug deals use on the phone? Its just another epstein situation except this one was for even younger kids.. the rich and powerful can have anything they want so the only things left for them to want is things they cant (or shouldn't) have. i dunno you gotta be a special kinda blind or willfully ignorant to not see what has become blatantly obvious in the last decade.
