I built a Westworld robot and it's awful

HBO asked if I wanted to do a #sponsored #Westworld video and I was like #sure. And did I use it as an excuse to audition to get on the show? #youbet.
I built an animatronic version of myself to show off my robot building skills. If I’m SimOne, she’s SimTwo. She now lives in my garage. We’re on good terms.
Westworld Season 2 premieres on HBO on April 22! There’s still enough time to binge watch season 1, especially if you’re comfortable with peeing in jars and sleeping with your eyes open. Not that I’m speaking from experience. Here’s the link: itsh.bo/2s5k1wj and here’s a trailer: itsh.bo/2HsoAVy

You should probably unplug that thing before it's too late.

[@mustaprox]

Before it burns her house down ... ? Sorry xD

[@colunizator]

oof

this was nice

lmao I remember in grade 5 I used to sit alone during lunch and watch the other kids so that maybe I could understand the chaos

[@RichWellner]

This was the smartest promo money HBO has ever spent. I had no idea that was the concept for the show and had ignored it thinking it was just a western. Now I need to see it.

[@MrJest2]

Oh, you definitely should. It's one of the more interesting and smart shows out right now. The overall theme is along the lines of "when does AI stop being a machine/tool and start being a person". It's a lot of fun. First season is only 8 episodes, so it's not even that long of a "binge watch".

[@shadebladed8]

Wow

[@CanIgetsubswithnovideos-yk1fy]

Lol.. they got me too... I’m not even slightly mad I just watched a 7 min commercial. They should give her a bonus for making this so enjoyable. I died when she said “you guys mad I spent all the money making an audition tape? I’m not.” Lmao

[@SeanKelly1]

Well put! For a fraction of what one of their typical adverts cost they get access to a rather different audience and it was fun to watch!

[@memyselfandi985]

Paid comment. Simone is still bribing her way into westworld.

[@TheDrexxus]

That facial expression is like a never ending existential crisis.

[@loserspud4504]

That monster mechanically flailing its way across a field is the only thing keeping me going right now. God bless y'all.

[@simonegiertz]

Sim Two sends her best regards

[@brain_apostrophe_t]

XD Failing her way across a feild!!! Ahahaha!!

[@kingclashing6914]

Simone Giertz just waiting for you to get 1million subscribers

[@zh84]

That made me cry with laughter. I had to pause the video until I recovered.

[@loserspud4504]

zh84 Yo, I feel special now

[@tyffaneelavely8087]

That was the most hilarious and horrifying thing I have ever watched! I loved it!

[@Danuxsy]

That would be horrifying in a horror movie, like seeing that shit in a bush at the middle of the night or somethin xD

[@ozlekosusturu]

Couldn't hold it in when she started spinning on top of the hill, oh god

[@BumbieJen]

The hills are alive, with the sound of squeaky cogwheeeeels~

[@zenithquasar9623]

And the arms flailing!

[@MimMdance]

That's the part I cried! 😂

[@kengruz669]

Or when she was flopping back and forth against the clothes line.

[@abbyag]

Fucl same man I wheezed

[@casssimons9319]

I had to see someone else commenting that "sim one" is a pun to realize that. I'm slow.

[@daveoh13]

there is an al pachino film called "s1m0ne" whose title plays on the that pun... a robot named named after a computer program called "simulation one", shortened to "sim-one" or simone...

[@hlcepeda]

Not everyone Giertz it right away.

[@maxximumb]

I don't think Simone actually built Sim. I think it was just her dressed up to look like a robot. Sim was just too lifelike to be a shitty robot.

[@tregenzat1178]

Yep, of you slow the video down you'll be able to see that it's actually Simone just running back and forth between two poses really quickly

[@Manuelomar2001]

"My name is Simone Giertz and I'm the fastest girl alive."

[@connorplaysMC100]

Manuelomar2001 My father was killed by something possible

[@Rickenbacker69]

I know, it's uncanny!

[@_HippieThugg_]

No, sir. I think you're wrong. That robot was much too graceful to me Simone.

[@kellycallaway8925]

I JUST GOT IT!!! SIM ONE SPELLS SIMONE!!!

[@anatine_banana_69]

*Bruh.*

[@BwooHuraca]

Like that movie, where the only scene I remember is the guy explaining how Simone is literally just sim(ulation) one.

[@woo545]

The wig falling off in the field was the only thing that gave it away!

[@Mageneated]

People wear wigs too - Simone just hired a bald stuntwoman

[@jonathancook4022]

The world's first ever robot to develop cancer. Such a sad thing....

[@dantebad]

am I the only one who loves how Simone says " OOooooyyyyyy...." ?

[@bis9817]

Ok, Byeeeeeee *waves fingers*

[@CarrionCarriesOn]

It's actually Oj, which means oops or just a general exclamation of surprise in Swedish, which honestly just makes it better

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

I'll be disappointed if Sim Two is not in Season Two. HBO, get on that!

[@simonegiertz]

Or I’ll just build a Sim Three for season three

[@djsyntic]

Well you should do that anyway. Clearly every season from here on out needs a Sim # in it. They need to actually go back and re-film an episode of Season 1 to put Sim One in it.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Simone Giertz idk, I mean you could try a Sim Three but it's gonna be hard to top the technological elegance of Sim Two

[@akinoz]

Simone Giertz yey

[@jrcowboy1099]

What if this is actually how Westworld came to be? In that cinematic universe, a show of Westworld (based on the movie) was created, and a third party kept building more sophisticated robots alongside the series to show the history of the park, which led to the eventual creation of a real Westworld?

[@labibbidabibbadum]

Jesus - screw uncanny valley, this was uncanny Grand Canyon.

[@Din0vi]

The new exorcist trailer looks soo good

[@JosephM]

😂😂😂😂

[@maximusironthumper]

Awesome! I'm now more interested in watching the adventures of Sim2 than Westworld season 2.

[@stumcconnel]

Holy shit, the likeness is uncanny! Great job, Sim One!

[@simonegiertz]

thank you! I really feel like I pulled animatronics from the uncanny valley into just being uncanny

[@peetky8645]

Hey, sorry to hear about the head thing. One of our great basketball players here at university of louisville started having headaches playing pro ball in spain. Turns out, was non-malignant meningioma--taken out-he had a few months recovery and is now back playing pro hoops. I feel your story will be the same. Continued robot success and domination. prayers peteKY

[@PoisonTheOgres]

BEST TRAILER I'VE EVER SEEN. SOMEONE GIVE SIMTWO AN OSCAR

[@jonesste84]

This video had me in tears but I lost it when the wig came off.i blame you for the nightmares I will have tonight Simone. Speedy recovery from surgery mate

[@mconnaghan]

I'm calling b.s. Sim Two is too life-like. Obviously it's a human pretending to be a robot pretending to be a human.

[@simonegiertz]

You’re on to me

[@DeeSnow97]

Log out, Sim Two, you're not fooling anyone

[@truecuckoo]

Yeah the popcorn scene gave it away. Everyone knows that robots don’t eat. I couldn’t tell them apart.

[@Terazuk]

how vant-garde

[@sperzieb00n]

a very futurama joke...... i miss futurama :(

[@Fionor01]

I've lost it at 3:19 that was too much to contain myself together. Good job!

[@LindsayDaly]

*HOLY. SHIT.* First of all, this is incredible lmao. Especially it *majestically* riding on the hills with the dramatically recreated voiceover by Simone. So. So. So. Amazing lol. Can't wait for Westworld 🤠

[@senorbaconhawk11]

watching this after the disposal of sim two. RIP sim two.

[@marcuso.530]

These violent delights have violent ends

[@wirelesmike73]

These violent ends have cliffhangers

Still more life-like than Mark Zuckerberg.

Lmao

[@honeywasp7839]

[@PeanutButterZombie00]

He and Hillary Clinton should take notes.

[@Dribin]

Damn, hahaha!

[@neto135791]

These sim 2 movements are so life like. I’m impressed

[@Sjoholm13]

The Sound of Music-spin atop the hill was what really sold it.

[@qrower]

my mom walked passed and said “who’s playing with the blowup doll”

[@PentaYOOO]

Sim Two rolling, i mean walking through the hills is the best thing ever!

[@Mandeeness]

Agreed! Funniest thing ever! 😂

[@Ravi_Raj_ISM]

Who is here after Getting rid of a medical doll (SIM_TWO) is weird ??

[@TheLazyKey]

Oh God the drone shots made this video.

[@thejesuschrist]

LMHAO! ❤️🙏

[@jzv.71]

hi jesus, nice seeing you.

[@MakeBrooklyn]

That might be the best/sh*ttiest robot you've ever built. Not sure it hit the uncanny valley, maybe more of the uncanny abyss. Very well done in any case. If I ever produce a hugely popular robot western you can totally be in it!

[@pathologicaldoubt]

You remind me so much of Jenna Marbles. Like an alternate universe where she pursued STEM, and made funny STEM videos

[@MrJakson112]

It must be horrible to spend that many hours making sommething like that, and seing it be reduced to 6 minutes because you have to be aware of pacing, what you are doing is insane! And I love it!

[@kengruz669]

Welcome to "The Industry"

[@roii415]

I swear when Simone makes a sponsored video, it gets so funny to the point that you forgive it being sponsored.

[@thesewinggeekmiri9029]

@gary jones yeah but do you write it

[@thesewinggeekmiri9029]

@gary jones nah, I'm not interested in becoming a skin suit.

[@keltieem]

What is happening

[@lwaysmay]

This is a piece of art and I am so glad I got to experience it. Also, SimTwo flailing at the clothesline looks eerily similar to my dance skills. Way too life like. 👌

[@jannex5348]

Okay... you've just become my favourite person ever

[@wavyseaweed]

I just about died at at shot of Sim Two spinning/flailing in that gorgeous landscape.

[@MiotaLee]

I don't know how it can be so unsettling and funny at the same time xD Just the jerking of the head while it rolls around in the countryside is just pure gold

[@gatokiki01]

Imagine some random person Walking by the hillside and seeing this Robot come out of nowhere. I'm just going to say that someone would definitely freak out

[@simonegiertz]

There was a lot of random people. And dogs. We just waived and smiled.

[@SonsOfLorgar]

Simone Giertz penguin style? ;)

[@HorribleSonofa]

You obviously aren’t familiar with Westworld. They would definitely have sex with it.

[@gatokiki01]

Simone Giertz this is an awesome way to make friends lol :)

[@Raven_Black_252]

Omg which one is real? Oh WAIT... Does it matter if you can't tell?!?

[@juanluisortega875]

I was so sad to see the notification on my phone because I was in class but oh my God this was sooo good it was worth the wait. #GiveSim2anoscar

[@paulkohler8868]

This and the cast and creator's recent "episode guide" really won me over. I'll certainly remember it's coming back tomorrow.

[@WinstonMakes]

I was fully expecting Simone to have used a blow up doll for this, but this ended up being slightly less shitty than I thought. 😂

[@tbaker71]

It's like I was actually watching the show. The screw through the sternum into the supporting board was a bit of a giveaway, however. Truthfully, I kept on thinking about the "Dead Parrot" sketch by Monty Python. "Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there." Still, it was a funny and well-made video. Thumbs up!

[@sakaspuds]

I'm confused, the title says something about a robot, and all i saw were 2 beautiful ladies

[@lalalalalalalalal567]

Marc 'spudsy' Bower clickbait nowadays...

[@TacticalKiwi4862]

[@tianamatson]

Your animated robots flopping about as they traverse the wilderness is the funniest thing on the face of the planet. First the deer now this!!!! I love it so so much!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ThelouwseFD]

I laughed so much I cried !Holy shit, I can't breath !Simone you're my hero !

[@incognitoburrito7458]

I would pay good subscription money to see Simtwo in Westworld flailing her body around in the background.

[@ryantrue4844]

Never fail to make me laugh. I have to admit SIM 2's facial expression was a bit unsettling

[@leonthebleh]

Or was that SIM 1? We might never know!

[@ryantrue4844]

Leon that is true, to be honest I reckon she just strapped herself into that board to trick us all

[@DeForrest]

The only thing getting me through this nightmare is Sim Two gracelessly galavanting across the meadow, that glorious jaw mashing invisible cabbage into pulp. Thank you. For your work.

[@vizionthing]

It's only a matter of time before Simone tackles the sex doll market.....

[@ericsalidbar1693]

Hahaha that would be so funny ,😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@harpodjangorose9696]

I'm remembering the carrot chopper...I think I'll wait for another company to put out sex dolls.

[@MrGargoylz]

Omg! Sim Two is miraculous. Twinsies much? You can start holding your breath now because that call from HBO is coming! (Wonderfully entertaining as always! Keep up the great work Sim One)

[@papinkelman7695]

Simone - Sim one ...... It took a while, but I get it.

[@trulsvian]

Also its a reference to the movie Simone from 2002.

[@papinkelman7695]

Truls Vian Found it, S1mOne right?

[@analog56x]

i just cannot get enough of your videos! thanks for the laughs Simone!

[@MrFAKE751]

Doesn't look like anything to me

[@KarlBunker]

I wuz gonna use that joke! 😡

[@colunizator]

[@whatabloodbrush]

5:03 ok i really need to now where this was shot like jesus christ this is a god damn beautiful landscape

[@Tomytoka]

and now how are we going to know if is sim one or sim two making the videos?? mabe sim two takes over the channel and we will never find out...

[@simonegiertz]

Haven’t you noticed? I’ve been working on automating and outsourcing every part of my life to machines all this time. KZbin videos, coming up.

[@HeyMykee]

Sim 2 has always been the caretaker...

[@MastersApprentices]

This is nothing short of a masterpiece tbh. What terrifies me is how realistic the walking motion is.... we truly are in the 21st century.

[@GiacoWhatever]

I wanna walk like that when I grow up!

[@gentlydirking4912]

This was a quality gag, which is probably the best form of sponsored video. Simone killin it as always, and oh shit almost at the 1 million! - 21/04 974K subs.

[@Nherdvous]

I may never sleep again.

[@MrJest2]

I just looked at the title, and thought "Oh, God... do I even want to watch this??" I'm still trying to catch my breath from laughing so hard. Well done, Simone!!

[@GoGunCo]

Would HBO let us smash/crush your Westworld robot with Eagle Prime?

[@blakelowrey9620]

She would reck u. Eagle prime doesn’t have heart but she has SOUL

[@MrMilarepa108]

DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH A HAIR ON THAT GIRL.

[@normanpeterson8744]

I am in a SWOON. The Hat... the sweeping vistas in your final clip ... but most of all the tinkling of your tiny toy piano theme! Great video ... absolutely hilarious!

[@MrKadaverzian]

Simone thanks for some quality nightmare fuel!

[@OldBon3s]

This is so awesome!! This made me laugh so hard I peed a little bit!😂❤️

[@nickbellotti]

Always love your videos Simone! 👌🏼

[@simonegiertz]

thanks Nick!

[@nickbellotti]

Your sense of humour is too good 😄

[@1earflapping]

I was cackling helplessly through the 'audition'. Simone has one of the best comic senses of anyone I know.

[@kristinbirgis]

I hope HBO likes it

[@DanaTodd]

I love you so much Simone. Never stop doing what you do!

[@ElTallerDeTD]

That guy is Gary, Buster's cousin! Nice to see Buster's family here :) :p

[@isaschneider7876]

This is the most beautiful and majestic beast ever to roam planet earth. Thank you Simone for putting this creature onto the face of the planet. I will only allow it to take over the world if you still do it’s voiceover. Also at 1:43 I DIED

[@wack5416]

Just started the video and that hat already has me shook

[@jaredknapp6832]

This must have been just prior to her diagnosis. The swelling in her right eye is ominous. I'm glad she's doing well though. She's an amazing person.

[@MrJaskulski]

OH MY GOD! this is the best Westworld commercial (?) thing, ever. Hands down! But, yeah, we're not there yet. Also, almost.

[@jameswoodsist]

something about the sweeping orchestral music, beautiful flying drone shot, and violently spasming walk mechanics of this robot that are just fucking hilarious to me.

[@freida_wang]

There were some real uncanny valley vibes I was getting from sim two (....and sim one)

[@badwolfcustomairbrushingde1432]

Holy hell, so realistic and so close to the robots in the show. Puking popcorn. You rock Simone.

[@liv-hr6ic]

You did a great job the applause machine should make an appearance in West World and how is Cheese Louise 🧀🧀

[@icywasp]

The world needs more people like you! You are the hero we need!

[@AleksanderSzadurski]

Simone, you need to make a video with Colin Furze. That would be an amazing collab.

[@zh84]

I think we should have a battle of the mad engineers: Simone Giertz vs. Colin Furze vs. Lauri Vuohensilta. If you don't know who he is, look up Beyond the Press.

[@kylabrett4532]

[@theresalloyd-lodden3758]

She's so adorable 😣😣

I'm glad you're doing fine after your surgery, I just found you today via 9gag and now I'm laughing so hard, I hope to see much more of your good vids and watching with others like "oh my god I found a weird funny girl building stupid robots on yt and you definitely need to see this!" Thanks for sharing your awesomeness with us, you rock!

[@Patsy7]

Looks like carey on mythbusters

[@nicholasgromak7627]

Whenever I need a pick-me-up I come back to this video. And even after half a year I still find joy in watching this satanic mannequin with really bad gas flailing around the countryside, painting blue spots and getting caught in every clothes line along the way. Great video! You're awesome!
