[@Crazyfrod]

Tyler French Monty is just in power down mode. He dident rest in piece, He rests with heavy metal. (BTW not trying to be rude. I cried when I found out)

[@AjWentz23]

I remember when this video released. I cherish all the memories of watching your guys videos. Even though I’ve grown apart, it pains me to see the end. Thanks for all the memories and I hope for the best of all at RT. “The goal isn’t to live on forever; it’s to make something that does.” - Monty Oum

[@kctoastyy]

Rest in peace, thank you for the memories

[@spicyalpastor3310]

I mean, they're not dead but I get what you mean. So many memories 😢 I'll be following Ray and Matt Brag. They both stream.

[@TxuZai]

*3...YEARS...AGO* Holy crap, can't believe its been that long, remember when this first went up.

[@Ayamechan1994]

+Txu Zai Same here

[@asfIack]

+Crimson Insanity This video? I remember watching when Ray was still being referred to as Brownman, he made videos with Fragger, and Ryan was unknown. And yet I only turned 18 like 2 weeks ago.....

[@fh_swimmons3656]

***** And the first episode of H.O.R.S.E., Minecraft Ep 1, and so many other great things from AH.

[@What-sf5ey]

+Crimson Insanity I know right O.o

[@colin_throws]

+Crimson Insanity Ryan was in this video for one second. If this video was re-created today, he'd be in half of the video.

[@mykullee]

2:35 "Do it you're fired. I swear to god. Seriously. I don't care who wrote it." haha BURNIE BURNS you're amazing

[@joshtong7332]

Omg I was dying of laughter because of that

[@John-dz6bm]

I'd do it, he wouldn't have fired them I'd say XD

[@mykullee]

HippyTheIrishmen It's also funny cause we know is was Kerry who was about to slap him. haha if he did: RIP Kerry Shawcross 2012

[@ahhhbeees1860]

Ryan the animation guy

[@realahcrew]

I mean he WAS in animation, AH totally stole him.

[@Vunk]

He was hired by AH, then the animation team kidnapped him, and later he returned home. They discussed this a lot in the past.

[@4311yeah]

Oof

[@Mitchmeow]

Ryan standing with the animators like he's not about to become the Mad King

[@johmanabat3746]

Little did they know that a psychopath and/or sociopath is standing behind them.

[@KingOfHalla]

+Mitchmeow It's great, cause Gray is there too and I never realized.

[@p_davidson]

He also looks overweight. Since the mad king moved to the big leagues he's gotten in a lot better shape!

[@aaronmauricio2261]

All that Diet Coke

[@wk4368]

this comment didnt age well

[@Snorlax_il]

Joel's "thank you" was the best part I think

[@luisvgify]

So... Since May 1st, 2012 I've noticed the following things: Marshall and Nathan left Burnie lost like 35 pounds And Ryan used to be mainly be an animator for RT. Too bad that Ray had only gotten hired for about a minute before this video came out. I woulda loved seeing him here

[@luisvgify]

Ohh and Burnie was still CEO of the company.

[@karkidsimmons]

No it's Matt Holum

[@bingefunkstep]

karkid simmons he said was

[@karkidsimmons]

Yeah, That makes good sense. I retract.

[@luisvgify]

Ehh we all make mistakes

[@apolloptx]

Joel is the best RT guy of all time. All time.

[@MacKalllak]

inglishbulldog This is the worst misquote ever. Of all time.

[@apolloptx]

***** I wasn't quoting anything.

[@robertjones6427]

inglishbulldog he is the, or at least one f the oldest, oldest out of all the founder people, i think

[@whitech0c0late49]

inglishbulldog Joel is the best RT guy ever. Of all time.

[@apolloptx]

Jack Bello Not knowingly.

[@GUNSHOTBULL3T]

Holy shit they look so different, Except Gavin. All but Gavin...

[@GUNSHOTBULL3T]

***** I deleted it, for the best.

[@popupssuck00]

GUNSHOTBULL3T There's only one explanation. He has the One Ring.

[@gamestop251]

[@PK-qo1ww]

[@GUNSHOTBULL3T]

coolshivthegreatest Nice, you made the same joke as someone else 3 months ago and it was still not funny.

[@mcauleyr.gallagher9276]

To everyone saying goodbye to Roosterteeth, two things. 1. Dont cry because it's over smile because it happened. 2. "Look, I can take the whole 'at peace with the world' thing, and I can even stomach all the 'accept your fate' stuff. But... just do me a favor, okay? Don't say goodbye. I hate goodbyes." Agent Texas of Project Freelancer.

[@Foxtrot6624]

Man I miss Monty

[@charliep123]

We all do :(

[@elisamuel3179]

R.I.P. Rooster Teeth 2003-2024, me, and A LOT of fans, will miss you guys.

[@base330films9]

"We love you" "We love you" "F*** you!" ....Wow Joel.

[@lutherhunt5462]

i know, i thought the same thing 😂

[@pfizer69]

It caught me way off guard! HA!

[@machanicalgu]

+ggtu775 96ttf that's why he is caboose

[@cabooseisthevehicledestroy]

Base 330 Films I loved that part

[@The4thWolf]

Pretty sure that started an integral part of my humor

[@dylangreen7970]

Wow what a throwback I remember watching this video quite a few times. Thanks for the memories RT.

[@GoLonga2]

0:27 Michael's worst nightmare.

[@BlueIsTrueYT]

XD LMFAO

[@dustyfedora]

GoLonga2 all he needs is a bottle of water and a bag of bread

[@MrHaloman3211]

2012: 1 Billion views 2015: almost 4 billion. Holy shit.

[@stealthynaxo]

MrHaloman3211 holy fuck!

[@couchpotato2128]

Well slap my ass and call me a grandma, tha... That's a lot of views

[@MegaNattyboy]

As far as I can recall the earth currently has 6-7 billion people living on it. Roosterteeth has half the earths population in views.

[@Pizzazoomman]

Wwwwhhhhhhaaaaattttt

[@stareater1870]

I'm here from 2017, 70 million past 5 billion.

[@nathancollier1496]

RIP Jack's Beard

[@iMatthewWilliams]

+Nathan Collier RIP Monty. Would rather have him than Jacks beard and I think jack would say the same

[@nathancollier1496]

k... way to take a random comment on youtube serious

[@wolfgang4376]

+Matt Williams HOW IS THAT CONNECTED TO JACK'S BEARD

[@ArnulfoSalgado]

+Matt Williams you must be fun at parties

[@themachine9290]

rip skinny kerry

[@andrewharvey1777]

I came back to watch this after I heard about Monty

[@Wallahiiiiiiii]

same

[@SusanWojcucki]

I thought if they tried to slap him, he'd throw a lemon at them.

[@coreywebb7046]

Same

[@sentryere7822]

Andrew Harvey Just watched the tribute and came to watch this right after.

[@isaax007]

Andrew Harvey ;'(

[@WeedleInTheBathroom]

Rest in peace Monty, we love you :)

[@Jeremy]

I keep getting recommended this old videos, man.

[@ThePengie24]

Tell me about it

[@Googoogagamf]

KZbin wants to show you their good videos

[@zebedeesummers4413]

9 years 9 years ago

[@MrGargamel1198]

Same. Now they're shutting down :(

[@axolotl09]

11 years

[@GoharioFTW]

Well, now there's 3 billion. RoosterTeeth has gone a long way. :D

[@zachsavage851]

RIP monty :'(

[@SoapySupreme]

+Zach Savage "do it you're fired"

[@mfpope7431]

Is that his legacy now, the fact that he died.

[@zachsavage851]

+Muhammad pope no rooster teeth ,rvb ect

[@zachsavage851]

+Muhammad pope because ha was a major part of rooster teeth and by saying rip monty it shows respect and that he will not be forgotten

[@mfpope7431]

But it seem rwby and his work on rvb is forgotten because the first thought that pops into your mind when Monty is mentioned is that he died

[@sydney229]

This was actually the first RT video I saw. It was on the trending or popular videos when the front page still existed

[@jarkwimbley3416]

Sounds like Terry watched more videos than you.

[@MartialKaiju98]

Joel"Caboose" Heyman at 2:46 "F*** you!" XD

[@lukeford4138]

+Andrew “MartialKaiju98” Pham Wait that's Caboose? Oh

[@freddyfogleman4980]

+Luke Ford Yeah

[@Defectum138]

It’s so weird to hear him curse.

[@MagicFrog13]

Here again from 2020 thanks to the almighty algorithm. I miss this group, and I'm both happy and sad to see how it has changed over the years. Lots of amazing content and people.

[@jakeabrams3171]

"I don't know who makes up the internet, but uh thanks" we love you Monty

[@louievisone4101]

Rewatching this given the news, thank you so much if you’re reading this

[@FaithRox]

Strange to see how the dynamic has changed. So many people are missing from this (Team B, Miles, Blaine), so many massive people then are not there now (Monty, Kara), so many small people became massive (Ryan, Lindsay), so many massive people werent here, came, then left again (Ray). It's odd to think that RoosterTeeth is growing and changing so fast constantly. I'm so glad they have found complete success!

[@LilLWH]

I know right? Like Barb had one little clip in this whole video and now she is one of the main faces of Rooster Teeth.

[@rlphjstnperalta]

Had to watch again before the end of 2013. RT is a great part of my life now.

[@superdude-ii5of]

dont

[@roaynlel9891]

***** When I did your translation it said "whose". HaHaHaHa yea i'm a loner

[@superdude-ii5of]

Roayn Lel what

[@jarkwimbley3416]

Thanks, Joel

[@lordheadass7015]

I love the line "And beat those dirty blues

[@HyperUniverse]

I died at Monty's part. "Deep sigh"

[@brandonlogan4102]

get out just get out too soon

[@raothon]

"We love you" "We love you" "FUCK YOU" I laughed so fraeking hard

[@Xxcactus108xX]

Did you laugh so hard to the point where you lost your sense of grammar?

[@raothon]

You know what... I really don't care why you felt the need to say that. I misspelled something... SUE ME!

[@PsyDarkness236]

Aragorn7027 ok then. I"LL SEE YOU IN COURT!!!

[@PsyDarkness236]

Hey, he told me to. I'm just doing as he said, taking request as it might be. is that so wrong?

[@raothon]

I was joking around cause that guy had to point out I spelt something wrong

[@ahhhbeees1860]

Man... rest in piece RT. Thanks for the countless hours of fun and entertainment

[@floopflarp]

2021 here, forgot how young everyone looked. Everyone has grown so much and we have so many new and loveable faces not in this video. It's nice to see Monty in a video again, it's been so long.

[@mdon8155]

Rest In Peace Monty :(

[@mythbusterslover14]

This was the first ever rooster teeth I watched, I saw that slo mo guys liked the video and saw Gavin so I watched it. Then I binged their videos and now I'm still here

[@mythbusterslover14]

Also this was the video I fell in love with Joel

[@alalalala57]

Anna Emiko Joel ftw.

[@fireballninja01]

"i caught a billion Pokemon once" oh michael, you have no idea whats headed

[@maskedwriter4088]

Man I would give anything to work with them even if it would be for just a week. They are just to awesome for words. WE LOVE YOU TO ROOSTER TEETH!!!

[@luisjuarez5205]

Gavin: "Just regular blown" Micheal: "In the WEE WEE" Every time I've watched this video, I replay this part about 10-20 times and laugh harder each time around. xD

[@PatGencarelli]

i just realized that Ryan is in the "Animators!" bit

[@gamermetalnerd]

I didn't even know he was an animator, was he?

[@iitsanthere]

gamermetalnerd I think he went to school for animation and joined RT as an animator yeah. Could be wrong though.

[@namYa]

itsanthere I think so, he was then brought to AH after some time.

[@hunterzalgoni5514]

RIP Rooster Teeth, Thank you for everything.😊

[@Xxcactus108xX]

1:49 "And Kevin" That was from the RT short where Michael meets a Drug Dealer xP

[@Konpekikaminari]

damn... I discovered RT after Monty died and now seeing him here makes me sad I guess it says something about this channel and this people

[@reader_dragon]

Every time I hear Gus say "In your face mom I told you it was a career" my heart just feels all happy. It gives hope to a lot of people who want to achieve the same goals but aren't really supported.

[@profblack]

Monty... Please don't be dead anymore. We miss you 😔

[@Murmaider83]

"Please don't be dead anymore" hwat

[@babykangaroo199]

+GiggityGuy Thats not how he says it also im sorry i must of read it wrong

[@Murmaider83]

+babykangaroo199 Hank Hill, says "hwat"

[@Banana_boat]

4,463,844 views on this video 15.05.2024 5,807,622,131 views total 6 minutes before RT is gone. That's a lot. Thanks for everything Rooster Teeth, It has been a great ride.

[@pforgottonsoul]

[@xabbitz6148]

Boi he thicc

[@4311yeah]

Oof

[@demonwc3279]

OOF

[@porfiriodiazcarrillo7551]

watching this ans see all those baby faces makes me cry of nostalgia!!!

[@TheBoilingFowl]

It's strange to see Ryan together with the animators (0:16).

[@UchayKaykay]

TheBoilingFowl why? he animates

[@TheBoilingFowl]

Yes, he had an animation job at RT. But I associate him with Achievement Hunter nowadays.

[@halorunescaper12]

I never knew that. I am an avid RVB and Achievement hunter fan but am just now getting into other rooster teeth stuff.

[@Alliewolf-nk1wi]

Not only is it weird but after watching this like 4 times did I notice him.

[@relunar2621]

I see u on almost all videos in rooster teeth its impressive how much time u spent for all of us I appreciate it thanks dude

[@locomechanikal4234]

At 1:42 that was so true because my friend from my English class introduced Rooster Teeth to me LOL.

[@jaxelt1]

yep

[@hoodiesticks]

Actually now that I think about it, I first heard of RT because some guys from my English class were talking about RWBY, so this is true for me too.

[@locomechanikal4234]

〈-thatguyoverthere lol

[@AnimezingPersonAP]

I was the guy to recommend Rooster Teeth to someone in my English class

[@VashMaverick09]

Shoutout to Ryan didn't catch him my first 3 times watching this

[@ToonedMinecraft]

+Rick O'Connor Is Ryan the bald guy with the sign?

[@user-xv9kb2vs5f]

+ToonedMinecraft 0:15 :p

[@sh4rkfrenzy863]

+ToonedMinecraft No, no he's not. He is part of the editors.

[@tatsushiro5532]

Rest in peace Monty, you'll always be in our hearts...

[@ThatDayDreamer_]

This is 3 years ago :O I'm kind of late to the party but this video made me so happy. Rooster Teeth makes me insanely happy, thank you, so much for everything. I love you all! xx

[@Artifacter]

Its two gavins, they're coming to your town, its two gavins, they're gonna show you around.

[@katealexander7278]

So anyone else here because of the Cloudberry Kingdom Part 18 video?

[@silkyjohnston7043]

yes

[@timothyhacker2242]

yep

[@humblemogwai8065]

0:15 to see ryan

[@bluesquare23]

Yeah but I've seen this before too.

[@Mirko-ob7eo]

+Humbel mogwai Ryan confirmed

[@canadianguy7291]

This was back in 2012. It took almost 8 years for the rooster teeth channel to reach 1 billion views. Now in 2016 4 year's later the rooster teeth channel has 4 billion channel. Great growth

[@bluntbangs]

Wow. Really crazy to come back and watch this. Crazy to think I've been a Rooster Teeth fan for almost a decade.

[@PsyDarkness236]

The last slap should have been slo-mo

[@RafaelReiPizarro]

Well if you dont get it search SloMoGuys here at youtube,Gavin and Dan make some slomo videos like a big big BIG balloon filled with water and then blowing it up

[@deltasword1994]

Tyler Mccutcheon Don't worry, most of Gavin's fans on both sides were at one point ignorant of the fact.

[@NWKTeddyMeister]

***** That was totally uncalled for. No need to insult a person who's trying to help out and what if he really didn't know about SloMoGuys.

[@PsyDarkness236]

I learned about slomoguys after roosterteeth and achievement hunter so I am not surprised at all that there are people who know one but not the other.

[@leetebbens8858]

Even at the end Im happy this journey happened

[@TheStalkingEmu]

What's funny is my friend named Kevin actually introduced me to Roosterteeth. LOL

[@BlvdBroken]

I introduced my friend kevin to roosterteeth...

[@Nerdink123]

BlvdBroken I'm a dolphin!

[@DarthStalkers]

Kevin the drug-dealer?

[@IAmTheAZO]

thank you for everything monty you've inspired everybody and they've continued your dream

[@DylanShayne]

I remember this video like it was yesterday... also R.I.P Monty

[@FaithlessLooter]

Kind of depressing considering how the company’s gone. I mean half these people are gone (a few were pushed out when they were sold to warner) and the constant scandals.

[@nickmoney]

In hindsight, they should have tried to buy themselves out of OtterMedia/Fullscreen in 2018 when WB started getting involved in Otter then AT&T with WB. Fullscreen wasn't an issue at first but when Fullscreen sold it's soul to bigger company and ultimately ended up hands of AT&T's devil grips it was all over.

[@davidsmusicbox5866]

Randomly popped up in my feed after all these years. I loved this, but couldn’t help but feel sadness each time Monty showed up. While I was not always consistent, I remember seeing the early days of RvB when in high school. I was more of someone who caught stuff from afar for awhile until RWBY brought me back into the fold. I love this company, and will always be happy to see more from you.
