I Am Surprisingly Bad At This | TMI

[@RyuRaeArashi]

The sketches are part of what makes your content stand out in the crowd of science/talk channels. I really love them, and I think having them as standalone videos somewhere on the side is perfect.

[@Chrotesque]

Well said!

[@M1lomay]

I enjoy the sketches but I prefer them attached to science videos.

[@gtbkts]

I agree

[@joescott-tmi]

Thanks for that feedback!

[@stewartmeetball3417]

[@joescott-tmi]

As many have already pointed out, there is an unexplained gap in the middle of this video. You can chalk this up to carelessness on my part or accept it as the creeping void of nothingness that awaits you when your consciousness eventually blinks out of existence. Up to you.

[@pudlyjongearhead2851]

Hi Joe. I just want to let you know, and i do believe i speak for many people here. I'm here for the good reason, that i find you to be a kind and honest person, and you are not affraid to state your own oppinion on a subject, even if it might not suit everyone. And the fact that you dont use clickbait to gain views, and keeps it casual, is what i think is a reflection, of all the lovely people in the chat. I love everything about your channel.

[@Darkflowerchyld718]

I second all of this!

[@robynsmith4164]

And I THIRD all of this!!! 😁

[@joescott-tmi]

I do have, for the most part, a very kind and gracious audience and I am super thankful for that.

[@kjpcgaming9296]

That sketch was amazing. I loved it. Sorry to people that don't get comedy - they need it in their lives. And they need a hug from a grandma too apparently. Keep it up. You're awesome.

[@joescott-tmi]

Hehe, thanks. To be fair the comments have all been amazing, I don't think it's that people didn't get the humor or had a problem with the content, it's just an algorithmic thing.

[@patrickjordan2233]

@@joescott-tmi ? FYI the sketch was The Reason I subbed (finally) to TMI... 👍😁👍😂

[@ravenlaurendine]

Wow Joe, I hope the "penis" controversy doesn't keep you from doing strange, unusual, and quirky content. People that were offended (KZbin!) be dammed. Channels on KZbin have become so homogenized, unresearched, and unoriginal. And I'm sorry, but your intelligent viewers (I believe) were not taken aback, shocked, or otherwise put off. Those that were and left.... screw 'em. I'm a singer/songwriter in Austin and if there is one thing I've learned in my "career" is DO WHAT YOU DO. Don't try to conform, don't try to be something (someone) else. Just do what you do.

[@joescott-tmi]

Well said! I don't know how people feel in general about sponsorships (when I pimp for Brilliant or Skillshare etc., at the end of a video) but what I don't think most people get is how much they free me and other creators up to do the types of content we want. Like this video got demonetized but it was sponsored so it's not that much of a loss. If all my revenue came from KZbin, I would be completely beholden to what they promote and what people would click on. I think the "common wisdom" out there is that taking a sponsor reduces your creative freedom. I've found the exact opposite is true.

[@racookster]

@@joescott-tmi- You just answered something I wondered about when you said your "penis video" had been demonetized: surely the income from KZbin is a drop in the bucket compared to the income from sponsors. I'm not a KZbinr, I don't know, but I'm glad to know that's the case. Personally, I think anyone who'd get offended by that video has issues.

[@courtneycolbon140]

[@shugadaddy4841]

That was probably one of the funniest 😆

[@lukerobson3043]

I definitely think the longer sketches that you do should live separately on this channel as well.

[@likebot.]

maybe a 3rd channel? JoeScettches :-)

[@EPhotoAlbum]

I love the organic feel with both channels. Sometimes there is a big sketch, sometimes not. You be you. That's what we love about you!!

[@sansintierra]

When I viewed the last video on Nebula my first thought was "oh, so Scott did a Nebula-only video", because I couldn't think in any way KZbin wouldn't demonetize or even remove it. I agree they have a very odd standard about which topics get demonetized. Out of all of the science communicators here, your channel is the one I enjoy the most (sorry Matt Ferrell and Tech for Luddities, you're cool too). I'll be here to watch funny and awkward sketches intermingled with interesting topics on science.

[@glassdave]

i really like the intro sketches and have some favorites, the Apallo control room comes to mind lol. Its really impressive how seamless they are between the characters you play as well as your timing.

[@wkolcz]

I, for one, completely appreciate how real of a person you are, the diversity and honesty of your videos, and your amazing personality. Keep up the awesome videos on both channels!

[@itsasmallsamafterall2619]

The penis sketch was brilliant and was well worth the effort. It might be a slow burner, but I'm sure a lot of us really appreciated the work and the humour. The whole video was great, and I now have so many more animal-penis facts to regale my friends with. I am sure to be a hit at parties, weddings, bar mitzvahs and funerals. What's not to love?!

[@Hamsteak]

Your intro Sketches are hilarious and so don't stop doing them. You should make more of them

[@MrGaborKukucska]

Hey Joe, we love it all the same whenever you get it done 👌 Just keep producing the great content you do 😊

[@atomcat9000]

I think you mean a "bottle" episode : one that uses only main standing sets, no new ones or expensive location filming. This opposed to a "flashback" episode, which is usually at the end of season and has to produce a show with little or no budget left, and does so by flashing back to old episodes with minimal new filming to glue the story together.

[@willinwoods]

I came here for this comment. And now I'm looking forward to the Musical Episode of Answers with Joe. 😁

[@Fixxitt412]

I’ve been a fan for over a year and had no idea this second channel existed! Looking forward to binging everything here!

[@texastaterbug5395]

I dig the lightning round videos, Joe. The sketches aren't necessary for me to watch your releases, but I understand this is the creative outlet you now have the time and resources to pursue. As a med school professor who was once a theater nerd, I wish I had that opportunity for creativity. Keep it up.

[@ВиталийКарнаухов-з9л]

Great video about peneses. Always was curious about how birds reproduce. Your video was quite fun and informative. The only criticism that i can point though is that it was a bit too short for my liking (pun intended) lol.

[@robynsmith4164]

Joe, don’t apologize to ANYONE! You are perfect just the way you are! I LOVE the way you change topics, it’s one of my favorite things about you and your channel. 😁 PS: I LOVE the Lightning Round videos! Love from Texas ♥️🤠🌴

Thank you for cross posting; I always forget you have a second channel, but hey, we got here xD Your tangents, humor, running bits, sketches; you remind us you're a relatable human and give us a chance to get to know you. It IS an art form to have an audience giggle-groan at a pun, and keep coming back. You have this DOWN 😅 It's too bad the algorithm takes away from the creativity at times; confusing for this nerd to be mad at math. But I'm hoping you get to keep supporting you and yours while staying true to yourself and what makes you proud.

Joe, loved the sketch and love the channel... We're with you! Thanks for being entertaining, and providing us with top level content- I appreciate the humor and effort it takes.

[@Phlosioneer]

Part of the reason for news cadence is that it’s accent-neutral. It goes two ways: it strips most of the accent and speech quirks from newscasters; and it is understandable by almost all people regardless of their accent. It’s been reinvented/rediscovered a few times and has changed slightly in tone over time (e.g. it was relentlessly optimistic/cheerful during wwii in the US), but there’s a version of it in every language, except maybe tonal languages like Chinese? I don’t know how those work, we didn’t go into that in film class.

[@robertwayne352]

Joe!!! Your sketch was hilarious!!! Those 20 subscribers lost need to grow a sense of humour. Please, do not stop them. It was so much fun! Peace!

[@darcyferrigno]

I remember using a teleprompter a couple of times in college and no joke, it is tough. Especially to make it seem like any sort of natural. And I personally love the sketches and am very excited to see more.

Don’t need 4 k like you said. Skits are amazing and special. Penis episode got my pregnant wife interested in watching finally.-so funny! Was sad to hear you not mentioning more reunion olf episodes in the future for 2022 but maybe I’m being over dramatic. Free episode idea. History of cell phones and data vs lte vs 4 g vs 5 g and why they are finally powerful enough to disrupt air traffic. Use if you think you can, I’d be really interested in your take of the topic. Hopefully later this year I can be a patreon supporter as my finances are expected to get better. Love everything you do ! Keep being you Joe!

What also can make Teleprompter haze WORSE is... Backlight. You have a GOOD hairlight behind you, but always make sure that Backlights have Barndoors on them & that the barndoors are narrowed down so that they are SHADING the light from hitting the Camera Lens & Prompter screen. In fact make sure of that with or without a prompter. Light bounce artifacts of the light bouncing around inside the multi- elements of compound lenses can drop color contrast and create that hazy faint fog stuff. But backlighting is well worth the effort for creating a Depth and sculptural effect for your subject image. (Lighting guy here- 35 years broadcasting "Work")
