I was sitting there just wondering if the dude was for real. But i don't think Nick would show it if it was non-fiction. I could be wrong. But if it is part of the story, the story seems to just be that the dude set up a whole unfic series so he could flex on a bunch of people and they would be tricked into watching the whole thing. Not much of a story. Maybe Im missing something.

[@stjimmerz]

Honestly I was more engaged in the spoon-cutting "plotline" I guess and where that was going to go. I thought the red spoon and coconut gag was hilarious but the Pyramid Head thing just took me out of it. But I was willing to overlook it. But then like....the irl stuff happens where he's basically vlogging his rise to fame and all his success and opportunities getting viral hits from early 2010s internet. Which was both interesting and kind of a weird humblebrag in my opinion. It was a deflation from the absurdity of spooncutting, that's for sure. It might be on the same tier as horse_ebooks but it just feels more manufactured.

[@dymaxion3988]

Edit: While i still think this series and video are kinda weird, now that i’ve had a month to think about it, my comment here is a bit overreactive. Please take it with several grains of salt Is it just me, or did this not have any kind of message or even a coherent idea behind it at face value? It’s bizarre and uncanny, but it’s really goofy with only a bit of half-baked horror. It exhausts its main premise right away, and starts bringing in random plot points to keep itself going. The only sense i can make of it is that it’s a multi-level parody of creators with no self awareness, and it’s all on purpose. But, the problem with that is the final video, the dude is so earnest and believable with his influencer-speak i seriously can’t tell if it’s real, a parody, or somewhere in between. And then NM acts like that video speaks for itself and goes to outro right after with nothing more to say?? I’m very confused.

[@ShadowLuigi147]

definitely agreed. it feels less like a dive into something and more like watching a highlight reel of something that i just went "huh ok i get it" and it kept going and added weird pointless and unrelated stuff until i didn't get it anymore

[@HeatherButt]

YEAH!! i agree so hard.

[@kuraihiroma]

Completely agree, I had to wonder if I truly wasted 20 minutes watching something that certainly had potential, but rough execution. The baby video was definitely the best part, but everything else was just eh.

[@sleepyheadlbp55]

The final video seems completely real, I googled all the articles, this dude really is "responsible for previous viral hits "the Fastest Lap Around Manhattan" and "Harlem Shake Times Square feat. NYPD."" as the verge says.

[@SaintAbsol]

I feel like the creator had at least a general idea for some sort of series, but (as you said) exhausted it very early on. It almost feels like it’s trying to be an Alan Resnik/Wham City Comedy type of thing, but doesn’t quite hit the mark. Like I said, I think the guy had an idea in his head for how he wanted the series to go, it just didn’t pan out like he was hoping it would.

[@RainWelsh]

8:43 “it’s only been done once in history, and the cutter died afterwards” I was already a bit giggly, but the sheer fucking absurdity of that statement, delivered with Nick’s usual ominous tone, absolutely killed me.

[@alexbenavidez4500]

Ok, so I'm not alone in thinking this started off as entertaining and interesting, then trailed off into being aimless and dissatisfying I legitimately can't tell whether the bit at the end is parody or sincere, but either way, it made me realise the unfiction doesn't seem to have any kind of narrative or creativity, or if it does, then it's two levels of meta and the series is actually a massive long-con deep dive into a clout chasing influencer I genuinely know nothing about any of the videos he brought up or any content he made before, so I don't know if it's even real or not and he just lacks major self-awareness, but after seeing some people say they remember a few of the viral hits, it's not looking promising as he straight out just admits to having no story or narrative whatsoever to tell, he's just jumped on a trend that gets views and using pre-existing wealth and influence to inflate the production value, whilst still having no actual substance Which is a giant shame, because then it becomes incredibly obvious where all these random elements like pyramid head and a shadowy organization came from. There's no plot or story or answers behind them, they're just things that happen in unfiction narratives that are popular and that's the only reason why they show up here I did question where he got the budget to film in such a house and expensive locations for the success section of the channel, and its disappointing to learn that it's because he was literally just already successful and rich enough to create any content he wanted with virality material like supercars, penthouses, models and studios If all the humble-bragging at the end was sincere, then the entirety of Cut Dat and it's story was just 100% clout chasing and viral marketing and there is nothing creative or substantial in its elements that stand on their own if he didn't have a budget to inflate production value If this isn't supposed to be satirical, then it completely sucks and spells a disturbing future trend for unfiction content as viral influencers will move in on the market with profit and views as the motivation over any kind of story, creativity or artistic vision The "film hot girls do online challenges in a fancy studio as if it's high-art" bit feels like the unfortunate reality behind anything that happens in this series Things happen because it's a popular trend and it's interesting enough it might go viral, and he's rich enough to throw anything at the wall to see what sticks Online horror content as a creative indie medium is only going to face this more and more as success becomes mainstream. Its the double-edged sword of all indie content, but it's not usually this blatant

[@Xindictive]

From what people found, the dude was 100% sincere with the humble bragging and the stuff he did in that last video. You can even find the articles talking about things like that harlem shake video and the article about Cut Dat too. The man legit made Cut Dat just for viral publicity and attention to possibly sell on for himself and he bailed when it wasn't successful enough.

The spoon cutting videos are 'distressing' in the sense of seeing someone do something the wrong way and I really appreciate that flavor of upset in something like this. It's got infomercial and a not-quite-horror vibes all the way through and that's pretty cool, glad to learn about this!

[@jonovangelion]

If the vlog at the end is any indication, it's safe to assume Cut Dat was just a failed TV pilot (maybe for Adult Swim). Also he seems like a genuinely insufferable person to hang around so thank god it failed.

[@GmodPlusWoW]

People are afraid of Pyramid Head, but I'm more worried about the red matter spoon. That shit could have created a black hole, and he used it to crack open a coconut! Also, the coconut scene reminds me of when Paul Gannon and Mister Biffo set off a cherry bomb in Biffo's filming room, after Biffo failed to realize that said bomb wasn't an indoor firework.

[@SisterRose]

a digitiser fan? :_

[@GmodPlusWoW]

@@SisterRose Yup. You could say we're a rare breed, even though it could be argued that Mr Biffo's antics are an acquired taste. Though then again, it's probably more that Digitiser gets screwed over by the algorithm, since it's hardly what you can call "bad", just a little messy. It might not be million-subs material, but at the very least it should have a six-figure subcount, even if it doesn't break 200k. I imagine Biffo would be happy if he was actually able to break 100k. So if anyone here enjoys Ashensy content, or at least banter between a British bloke and his friends (and of course his wife Sanya), you could do a lot worse than check out his backlog. While sometimes he does a bunch of more talky videos, sometimes he messes around with dry ice, eats weird crisps with Ashens, talks about classic toys with Paul Gannon of Cheapshow, tries out corner shop goodies with Sanya, nearly blows himself with cherry bombs, dresses up as a nightmarish bean clown, etc. All sorts of weird stuff that ought to land him a spot in next year's Cabin Fever Dreams. If Nick's reading this, check out Digitiser's "Elephant Toothpaste" episode, where Paul and Stuart encounter the terrifying eldritch horror known as Beanus. That should fill up your weird quota if there's still room left in the tank.

That last bit was odd. I thought he was going to explain what the idea behind the project was. When he kept talking about fame, I wondered if there was going to be a message about taking opportunities before you lose them. -But no, the whole segment was just him saying ‘I’m really rich’. I didn’t even end up understanding what his gig even was, and he kept making jabs that he would have surpassed other celebrities. It left me feeling so meh. -A peculiar end to this project for sure - I don’t get what that final part was meant to be.

[@finngswan3732]

I loved the spoon cutting up until Pyramid Head popped in. It had this campy vibe and I was enjoying it. The rest is just ... ehh??? I don't know what to think about it and agree with most of the comments that it seems like clout chasing. But at the same time, it might be a parody?

[@yourtimetraveleralara]

Yeah me too

[@sarahmathias9463]

Now, I will put a disclaimer that I'm just at 14:16 but I had to chime in. The commentary really makes it sound like this is all an analogy for self-harm, specifically cutting. Maybe the red spoon represented a nearly successful attempt?

[@ZeroHero3d]

That last 5 minutes feels so absurdly fantastical and uncanny that it HAS to be parody/satire. It's too perfect for one man to accomplish all that and still be a total nobody in the public eye. Notice how everything he's done is through pure chance and happenstance, just being in the perfect place at the perfect time and benefitting greatly just by being there and meeting that perfect person to make it all work out for him in the end. Doing all that doesn't come without reason, even if you are born into extreme wealth and privilege. All his stories are vague, without any notable name drops or events. When you live in a world like he is describing, you live and die by who you are associated with. That is the nature of clout and social status. So, to me, there is just no way any of what he said was real. I cannot buy that this guy exists as a real person, it has to be an extension of the "Cut Dat" story. The surreal absurdity of it all smacks of an unfiction storyline taking a metanarrative approach at social commentary. Or I'm totally off base and he actually is the luckiest, most privileged human being on the planet to be where he is in life, while also being the most punchable twat-waffle alive. Only time will tell if the story continues and we get more information about what is going on.

[@gatex33d74]

unfortunately, its not satire...

[@SteviesArcade]

Honestly I'm disappointed you even considered covering this....it's not even weird in the usual kinda Cabin Fever way. The guy all but tells us in that end segment that everything he does is just thinly veiled attempts to stay relevant and rich. (Side note, unless I'm missing something, they did say they *tried* for a kid but had a miscarriage in the series right? If that's the case why would the bib he's holding in the expired baby food episode be bloody?)

[@steviebea]

[@tombrady1434]

[@TheSonOfRyan]

Wow, that's the most hatable guy who's done nothing technically wrong I've ever seen.

[@EsShinkai02]

Wow, this was awful and pointless. A shallow plot that fizzles out because the creator is a clout chasing nobody and got bored of it. And you just plugged it! No notes on the reveal, no critique of the finished product, and you just put his entire self aggrandizing "lol, I'm such a quirky influencer!" ad in there. It smacks of either being paid off, or lazily padding for time. You know what else could've eaten up that time? Some actual thoughts. As is, this was a waste of a half-hour. I'm not wasting another.

[@giacomomontanari4985]

Mmmh not sure about this one. It feels disjointed, without a real purpose behind it. Also... Pyramid head, really?

[@Xindictive]

Usually with these Cabin Fever Dreams entries, even if it is strange and out there, there is this aura of horror with it still and there's still this care and effort put in, even if it ends up only being seen by 100 people and/or is just unfinished. This is legit not that. This is just some dude trying to make yet another viral hit to add to his portfolio and bank account and when it didn't continue to succeed for him, he dropped it like previous projects and went on to make another, repeating the process with either half assed ideas for attention or projects with some thought but not much care put into it. Him putting Pyramid Head of all things out of nowhere like that just cements this as just slapping spooky shit in for attention and not for story of any kind really. And the way this video goes about explaining with this, especially with that humblebrag reveal that Nick just... slides past and doesn't go into further, even saying to look forward to more from him? Considering the comments here, i think the opposite is happening for Michael here, and i will be joining on not supporting the dude's projects further if possible. I can appreciate work that is done out of love, care or just some dumb fun, but attention whoring for wealth and popularity is something i cant get behind and that is clearly what Cut Dat is, just doing something weird/strange for attention from the media and public to gain from, no actual care into making the content something of coherence or worth.

The creator of cut dat is not real and is part of the story, that being a super rich man created chased trends on KZbin and is now bragging about his wealth. I believe this entire story is a reference to Alex Roy as he claimed to have set an incredible record which everyone believed.

@@gatex33d74 🤷 I liked peaceful watcher, I enjoy listening to disturbing stories while I’m doing something else, which is why I absolutely love when he picks a random topic and discusses about it, if it’s theories and analysis you want there’s channels like Nexpo, Inside a Mind, and even Film Theory; Night Mind is to horror and unfiction what TheVoltrum is to SCP: A simple narrator with a nice voice

[@0supermoose804]

Am I the only one who loved the behind the scenes arc? I mean, obviously it’s mostly scripted, but it’s presented so straight that I find myself doubting it. Is it entirely fiction? Fictionalized? Satire? I’m having an existential crisis over a dude who failed to cut a mango with a spoon.

[@sleepyheadlbp55]

No, pretty sure the BTS stuff is real. At least the articles are. "These two guys think cutting things with spoons will be their next viral hit" is a real verge article.

[@LeafyGreenDA]

Alright. Crack-pot theory coming through. I think the guy paid Night Mind to advertise the Cut Dat series to bring more attention to the idea that he was revisiting the project. Who's with me?

[@alphabetiris4094]

That would make sense kinda but honestly I would be so sad

[@valtea.]

So this guy got extremely lucky and got extremely rich, cool

[@Number_6ix]

Bragging about rubbing elbows with David Dobrik = yuck. Nothankyouplease.

[@greenlink9384]

I am so glad I saw this the instant it was uploaded

[@harmonthebadger4051]

Man maybe it's just me but does the creator of the spoon cutting channel kinda... awful. Idk maybe I'm just reading too far into it but like, imagine the kind of person you have to be to befriend a Rothschild or a Rockefeller.

[@yakopc6600]

Didnt sleep; snorted adderall. Checks out

[@chrisvanluven7223]

Popcorn is one of the most fun times I've had with a movie. The sadness is basically that comic crossed, great time!

[@jessethecomet]

Hope your day is going well Night Mind

[@chantolove]

Weird lack of acknowledgement of how shallow this was all along

[@lozey8317]

Laughing my *** off that the advert I got before this video was some sort of tactical hand fan that can cut things in half. Bravo KZbin :D

[@monbub]

This isn't unfiction, this is just some dude trying to desperately go viral

[@Cove_Blue]

I don't understand how those guys found success from any of those. Mediocre at best. I guess if you find the right sugar daddy... I mean "investor" or whatever ETA: I'm glad I'm not the only one who found no real substance in this content

[@JadeTheHobo]

I still don't know if the final video was real or not. I just can't imagine it.

[@forceshieldjeff]

The fuck this can't be a finale. I need more. My god no. I need to know the rest. Help. Please help.

[@thequeenofcringe1585]

I feel like I just landed on an alien planet and I’m desperately trying to understand their culture when I haven’t learned the language yet.

[@joegoldenbaum4511]

still cut most of these things more elegantly than cooking with jack

[@AutMouseLabs]

I am not sure I get this one? Is it all just a big parody on the idea of having a silver spoon? I.E. being rich?

[@anarchy7535]

First half; fun. Second half; "I'm an egomaniac, look how great I am."

[@magnusdice8932]

9:43 my man is wearing a yogscast shirt. I love this.

[@alphabetiris4094]

Can we talk about how much of the video is just the videos and not nick talking? I've learned nothing

[@dreamareakoso3791]

sitting through the humble bragging made me lose most of my brain cells, why was this even included in this video? it didn’t add anything at all to it, like, seriously, why was this put into Night Mind’s video?

[@ShadeMeadows]

I'm... Huh. WHAT IS THIS.

[@binsoku6]

by the time I reached 7:50, my only thought was "...this is all an analogy for murder, isn't it?"

[@tripleparakeetshoes4613]

This is the kind of chaotic madness that I want to see more of.

[@robotoboy30]

For those confused about the intent from Nick --- It's pretty obvious this is one of Nicks "meta" videos. He takes the entire serious as earnest and genuine. He brushes off pyramid head being in the series... and he just over all glosses over it. He also says what essentially amounts to nothing about the series -- presenting it in a way that comes off as "endorsement" but never REALLY endorsing him. The fact that he lets the guys humblebrag "reveal" play out uncut and unnarrated is part of the shtick. Nick is a creative himself. Look no further than some of his more insane productions like the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared analysis. He likes to take the piss out of people occasionally too. I personally didn't like the video -- but that's the point guys. You weren't supposed to. Nick was sort of "making commentary" without making commentary. Just watch ANY videos from Nick and you'll see this is extremely out of character and production value. Basically - Nick is making a point by just presenting the video as earnestly as this guy was trying to be. Nick probably highly agrees with everyone about him being unlikable and the series being terrible with extremely unsatisfying plot threads. In a way he's also taking credit away from the guy by not analyzing the series in depth - instead reacting as any "popular" youtuber would. Sort of a reaction vid disguised as an "analysis vid" Even in the beginning of the video he talks about how this something "special" --- "One more hit" One more hit. Just watch the humblebrag video and you have all the context you need to understand what the point of this vid is. It's painful to get through because I guarantee you that it was painful for Nick LOL!

[@mx.menacing]

Yeah, I agree with others saying this project seems very soulless. There's no passion behind it, it's just straight up boring. Which is sad because I think it had a lot of potential. The pyramid head makes no sense either. "He's everywhere" yeah in memes, cosplays and such, not "ARGs". (Which I wouldn't even call this tbh) Nothing against you Night Mind, but directed at the creator.

[@hauntedcouch]

Thank you so much for the cabin fever dreams series. Very cool curation of stuff that's a little different than your normal content! This one in particular made my day!

[@danem2215]

I had no idea that end video was supposed to be real. Yikes

[@irock101402]

So his voice is like an unsatisfying and frustrating type of ASMR. Like the jumping between a quiet tone and whispering is just annoying instead of being relaxing.

[@alphabetiris4094]

Who's? Nick's or the guy in the arg?

[@jpjp9111]

Just released a NEW "HUG ME I'M SCARED" promo for a new episode coming out in Sept. In the last episode from 6 years ago, the last scene had a calendar that said June 19th. Today is June 19th.

[@commandervideo5273]

“Only a Spoonful.”

[@vipahxxx7640]

Hello, Night Mind, I don't know if you see this but a small youtube channel called 'Pastra' Is probably the most clever ARG ever and you should totally check it out.

[@somejabroni51]

??? What a terrible ending. And pyramid head??????

[@jamespliskins2785]

This was alright up till the guy started bragging about shit no one cares about and immediately stopped caring. Didn’t help that you just played the entire thing with no commentary. Kind of disappointed with you on this one Nick.

[@mansendwish]

I respect the bag but wtf was that...

[@BootlegSeraphim]

to echo the rest of the comment section on this one: my attention was IMMEDIATELY LOST when this spoon guy just started talking about himself. this means nothing to me. i was hoping for spoonerisms, not yet another guy doing a vlog.

[@lumunni9184]

Just realised I got un-subbed from Night Mind, which sucks but now I have a bunch of content to binge so upside?

[@trscsaeg]

Spoon cutting vs pig calling

[@C15Podcast]

.... when you have something this absurd its more funny than scary

[@boy-who-likes-bats]

i spaced back in and thought i was on a vin wiki video with the whole expensive car rally thing

[@Exile_Sky]

People always ask why Pyramid head is there. No one asks, how Pyramid head is doing.

[@emilydavis162]

Nighty wtf?? You used more of HIS content than your own!
