you guys are so cute and wholesome

Never thought this 36 year old dad would be sat here crying to an Imp and Skizz podcast. Thank you for sharing your story, BDub

[@mkbean]

Hard same!

[@Angieb303]

Seriously, I am a 42 year old Mom who watches Hermitcraft and the Life serious and this guy so hard, but in the best possible way. Love can get you through anything and BDubs shows that.

[@janelgoolsby2135]

56 year old Grandma here! I have a chronic pain disorder, so I spend a lot of time in bed watching KZbin. I stumbled upon the life series one day. Now I am here, lol. Love these guys! I even started playing minecraft!

I am 40 and have watched Bdubs from the beginning and enjoyed every second of it.

[@qocket]

I really didn't expect Bdubs to talk about his 3rd daughter, but I'm glad he still dedicates and will continue to dedicate the happiness he brings to other people to her memory.

[@kcattattack]

Bdubs' mic matches up with the end of Impulse's stand so well it played a mind trick on me

[@ashtondoublet8334]

Wow thanks for pointing that out. It's actually kinda cool.

[@mistercheeks]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's brain made that connection.

[@saruwatarisa]

Oh god yes! I'm glad somebody commented this It was sooo good I thought they're making it look like so they provided him his mike even tho it's vid call xD

[@frumpyb]

And well staged with bDubs looking like he's looking at them even while on screen and then also looking to our, the audience's camera while still on screen. Even pointing with the cliffhanger line at the end. Well done on the set up. Really adds to it.

[@hunterdenson26]

From the guy who comments “we want bdubs!” every week: thank you!! I already listened this morning on Spotify at the gym. If any of the three of you see this, again, thank you and keep up the great work!

[@bluelover4563]

It was a great suggestion; bdub’s smile is so contagious! ❤❤

[@beamshooter]

i love how we all went from soft minecraft fanboys to hard working gym-going men

[@Ali_Faisall]

not just you, I did that too lol

[@Jaxta1999]

I absolutely love Bdubs’ camera angle it looks like he’s actually looking at skizz and impulse ☺️🥳🎉

[@saffral]

And at the camera we're looking out of too, I get the feeling that he worked on that before with them, maybe even putting stickers or something on where the different things he wanted to look at were. Unless Bdubs has some sort of ultrawide monitor where it's wide enough for that.

[@kolpy_Uno]

it even looks like his mic is on the other end of Impulses mic arm

[@truckerdave8465]

Bdubs has such a story. He’s the silliest goofiest man with such a depth of sincerity. I cry every time I hear his story. As a mom who was told I have a high chance of my baby having Trisomy 18, I know a bit about how that feels. I got lucky, but there was a week I didn’t know. Thank you for talking about that. It just shows how huge your heart is.

[@Roescoe]

I had totally forgotten about his daughter. Wow that story hit like a ton of bricks. Had to take a 10 min break. How strong he became. Something on God and family could help him through. Extremely beautiful showing of love.

[@JackJohnenZydrate]

I watched bdubs for a long time, and when he told us about ivy, I was sobbing at my computer. Just had my own daughter, I think she was like 8 months old at the time. I couldn't imagine as a father going through that then, and still can't. When his first video came out after, i cried again. I knew hed made it through, and found a reason to keep going. He's always been such an amazing man, and he's someone whom I've tried to be more like. Love you man. Hell, all three of you are amazing. Thank you for consistent inspiration, even as a 36 year old.

[@sanautin]

Well said!

[@diamondsimon020]

I'd heard that story before, but I absolutely broke down when he told it, this man is an angel 😭

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

I loved how Bdubs would zoom past random players on his horse and he would just say "NYAAaaoooooow"

[@SynchroniSydney]

I had no idea how much we should be thanking bdub’s wife for giving him the push to take KZbin seriously. How awesome it must be to have support from her!

[@SenorEscaso]

They used to do vlogs, and she was always so great.

[@mad_maddie]

I just have to say that I'm not bothered at all when you guys split the guest appearances into two episodes. It's the opposite. When I'm sad that the episode is about to end and you say that there will be more it's the best thing ever. Yay, more Bdubs next week!

[@shaunacall4685]

Ditto…we just have to practice patience knowing the episode is already been recorded but we have to wait a week! LOL

[@eliiisdn]

agreed!

[@HeatherKraafter]

I came to see this comment and agree!!

[@MoonlitBookworm73]

Exactly! I also love that the two episodes usually show two different sides of the guest because I like learning more about the person in general rather than just the KZbin side of them!

[@Chigger]

Same here. I like to listen when I'm doing chores.

[@MikeHeath]

Epic. Bdubs isn't just an entertainer, he's a genuine role model.

[@shaunacall4685]

Hermitcraft has put together a group of amazing humans, they are just good humans and I love them all.

[@gadsdenviking4159]

Bdubs is the best. I remember the video he released about his daughter when they found out and I cried. Not gonna lie, I just cried again. One of the best things about creators like Bdubs or Scar or TFC or any of the other peeps, you all are part of the family even if you don't know us, we feel like we know you. We all appreciate you for being part of our lives.

[@arynd2753]

I had found Bdubs through ZombieCleo’s 3rd life series. My husband and I became huge fans. Just last week we lost our own daughter, Daisy, at 24 weeks and 3 days gestation. Throughout my pregnancy, I’ve been trying to catch up on this podcast as it has brought me comfort and joy. Odd timing that I was only a couple episodes short from this Bdubs episode where he talks about his own experience of losing a precious daughter. Obviously the episode got to my husband and I, but we feel just a little more hopeful that when we are ready, we can flip the narrative to celebrate and love her. I’m thankful for this episode, and that Bdubs is willing to be so vulnerable by sharing his daughter’s story. ♥️

[@piorfino]

The strongest people are those who turn adversity into drive. The Bdubs' and Scar's of the world who are faced with such tremendous adversity and see it not as an obstacle but as a motivator to put as much good into the world as possible. It is beyond inspiring to me to see someone like Bdubs turn what for some would be the most devastating tragedy into a life defining mission to keep moving forward. I cannot express enough how grateful and lucky I am to have role models like Bdubs. @Skizz you said you are seeing a new side of Bdubs today and I want to challenge that a bit. I think the fire that this trauma instilled in him is very evident in every recording. I think it's clear that his passion and drive show through every time he sits down to make content. Now we just have the privilege to see the source of that passion.

[@malix11gaming10]

Favorite B-Dubs line ever, "You'll speak when spoken to!"

[@greenbeefloralco]

This comment is for BDubs. I've watched you as a hermit crafter/youtuber for several years. I have a living son with Trisomy 13. Your story brought me to tears and touched my heart so deeply because I know exactly what it is to be on the receiving end of those conversations. Thank you so very much for sharing. I am so happy that you've found a way through the grief to bring so much joy to your videos and community is a really beautiful legacy. From one T13 family to another, I wish for continued strength to you and your family even as the years continue to go by.

[@Trauma284]

Hearing bdubs sing. Just further pushes my thoughts that the hermits need to make a band.

At least more colab songs that the amazing fans can "play" whit! (Make animation for, remake and mix)

[@EuropesNinja]

It’s kinda strange but I almost view Bdubs as a father figure in my life. I watched him through some very dark times and his advice during building with Bdubs planted seeds for getting out of em. He’s one of the goats of Minecraft let’s plays. And his cities skylines series I’ve rewatched twice or three times. He’s a king and his view on family really inspires me.

[@trash__queen]

That's exactly how I feel about impy and skizz

[@TiffaniDutton]

Same on all parties. They are bloody goals.

[@OscarLikesArt]

Damn. Wasn't expecting something this deep. Especially the daughter part really moved me since I hadn't heard that before. Just makes me respect Bdubs even more.

[@jennewing2751]

Best interview yet. As a mother, I can’t tell you how much respect I have for BDubds. I knew about Ivy, but wasn’t sure he would mention her….his strength and ability to turn that pain into a tribute in her honour is one of the most admirable qualities in him. His character and strength are why I will always be a loyal viewer! Looking forward to part 2!

[@filbertovandette]

I came....i saw ... I laughed....i cried....that was an incredible podcast, gentlemen. Im wore out after that.....time to schweep...

Skizz is right. The pedestal for bdubs just raised even higher. His willingness to be so vulnerable and raw. Thank you gentlemen.

[@pokemon19922]

I'm 31 years old with a 13 year old daughter (Yes, we were young) Whenever bdubs talks about losing their daughter its brings tears to my eyes, i couldnt imagine losing a child. Much love and respect for you bdubs, love your content and your ability/motivation to push forward.

[@JaRyCu]

I still remember when Bdubs posted the "Pray for BDubs" video about his daughter. I watched it immediately, and I cried almost throughout the entire thing. Listening to BDubs recount part of that story today brought back those memories (and some of those tears), and it serves as a good reminder to me of how the most tragic things we can go through can help to make us stronger if we just keep going and come out the other side. I especially loved today how he said that he didn't want the memory of his daughter to be the reason he quit doing this... I've looked up to him and now I look up to him even more. Thank you Imp & Skizz for giving him somewhere to tell his story again.

[@hamsolo]

By far the best and most personal interview yet. I'm 55 and i cried with Bdubs. So proud of you for giving your daughter every chance for success. Thank you Imp and Skiz, I love you Bdubs.

As a creator who just finished their first “official” year as a KZbinr- this hits. Hard. Every word from Bdubs, Imp, and Skizz was like listening to the tape that’s been on a loop in my head for the past 12 months. And it just further increases my respect for creators that burn bright while not burning out. Thank you 3 for this episode, I look forward to more like it. Subscribed :)

[@robertbriggs5930]

I’ve commented on the video in the past about when you lost your daughter Bdubs but just wanted to say again watching this video here. Earlier that year my wife and I had a miscarriage and lost a child ourselves and it was incredibly hard, and I mean I loved watching your vlogs and seeing you be dad and a husband and I admired you for that but when you shared that story back then it helped me see that my struggles I was having wasn’t unwarranted, like Skizz said people want us to man up and get back to work keep going etc. and you really helped me through those emotions and that struggle and I felt connected to one of my favourite people that I really looked up to. Thank you for everything you do and I am grateful for you and what you do.

[@loaf1verse]

[@jametrics]

I really appreciate this podcast. Especially when things got deep and sad and reflective. I had a really tough 2023 losing my job my father, my daughter having brain surgery, and my wife losing her grandmother. Sometimes it's difficult to roll with the valleys that come. But hearing that other people have also existed in those valleys makes it more manageable especially when it's people that you have watched for some time and feel connected to. Thank you for doing these.

Can relate. 2023 just wasn't my year either, also due to familial loss.

[@kitherit]

This is my first Imp and Skizz Podcast to watch, but I'm so very glad I did. I'm a 46 year old woman who has felt lost my entire life. I'm single, no kids, and unable to work for a variety of reasons. But just at the end of last year I was finally given a solid diagnosis of ADHD, and put on ADHD meds for the first time in my life. As my Mother has said, I just never found my feet, so to speak. But now I finally feel like maybe I can figure out what to do with my life. I've also been a lifelong PC gamer. Or rather, lifelong if you consider I didn't have access to a computer until I was a teenager. 😅 Gaming has always been my escape from reality. I've done a bit of streaming and video making in the past. But now I'm trying to take up streaming more often. Dunno if I'll ever gain any kind of an audience, but it gives me something to do, and a platform to talk to people. I guess what I'm saying is I can relate to so many of the things you guys talked about, especially as you're close to my age. I love all three of you guys, and have watched a lot of your content. But now I love all you guys even more. Thanks for sharing your stories, and giving someone like me some insight and inspiration for where I might want to take my own path. 💜

[@jasonolson7966]

I very nearly started crying at work listening to Bdubs talk about that horrible loss again. I suspected it might come up, and I thought I was ready for it, but every time I hear it, I just feel so much empathy for Bdubs. It's so hard to even relive that as a viewer, I can't imagine how much harder it is for Bdubs to recount that.

[@bloomingmariigold]

Bdubs is one of the sweetest KZbinrs I know. His audience is insanely diverse and it brings people together I feel. I'm 14 myself, and I'll see people older than me and younger sharing a wholesome moment.

[@naileddc5342]

This podcast with BDubz has brought back soo many good memories from where i watched him years ago! His brother too, and dont forget the B Team with GenniB! Thank you!

[@CosmicAutisms]

I took the ‘suck it up’ mentality a bit too much to heart, to the point where I am no longer me, I have been lost in a shell of my former self through trauma. I HAD to put on a happy face through my depression a few years back. Now, I’m having to do that masking again, no one knows, apart from you who reads this comment. Much Love

[@jyleelee]

I love watching Bdubs, his energy and positivity is always so infectious. Even when he's talking about the more candid parts of his life. Thank you so much for this, it was a fantastic episode. I'm a pretty new listener to this podcast. Not sure if you've had him on, but I'd love to see one with Rendog

July 7th 2017 I lost my 6 mth old son Bowen this podcast spoke to me in such a meaningful way I love what bdubs does and who he is and what this has made him into because it is so easy to just give up. But we as fathers need to keep loving and living. Thank you for the vulnerability and just being you.

[@lilnintendo]

Yup, I cried again over Bdubs' daughter's story. Yes, Bdubs, you are bringing joy to lives. We love you ❤

[@jessiedhannah]

I have always been blown away by Bdubs and Mrs Bdubs being willing to share that vulnerable part of their lives. I always cry, but it's so inspiring to see someone who is on the other side of a very dark time. The hurt may always be there, but it doesn't have to rule your life.

[@vaminuteman]

I've been a BDubs subscriber for a while and I have to say that after watching this "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for watching. I love ya to death and we'll see you in the next episode." hits on a much deeper level. Thank you for your vulenerablility and all the fun stories. Thank you Imp and Skizz for giving us a more personal look at the other Hermits.

[@dazzmead]

You know I think I love this man even more now. Absolutely privileged to hear these stories and if there is ever a irl minecon I'm getting a hug off skizz, the greatest high five off impulse and I'm giving bdubs a hug! This was an amazing episode and I cant/have to wait for part 2!

What a gem of an episode. I already had great respect for bdubs, but after watching, that has only grown. God bless the three of you! You bring so much joy to all of us.

[@kkinn33]

I remember when Bdubs posted the video about Miss Ivy. It was the first time I sob cried for someone I didn't really know. I knew intimately all the pain and loss, 7 years prior.. it's still difficult at times. I'm glad you didn't throw in the towel, bdubs. We strive to make our parents proud, until we have to make life successful to honor of our children. So their too short life wasn't in vain. ❤️ Great podcast guys. Much needed today.

[@nicktopinoplus]

I've been through child loss as well. We love to talk about him because it's really the only way he exists now but it makes people uncomfortable, so a lot of us love running into someone else who's been through it. It makes it easier to talk about it and even joke around because, well, If you know, you know. Thanks for that Bdubs.

[@ProjectKhopesh]

Yessss, I can sense Jerry Lewis and Looney Toons in those iconic BDubs moments. Great interview, thank you for working this out!

[@ProjectKhopesh]

Oh, and yes, I think anyone who is self-employed, tinkering about with entrepreneurship can relate to the "my brain doesn't stop" problem, and learning how to relax. I ran my own little company for a while and it never really was enough to pay the bills, but I still had to keep at it. I still can't relax, since I work contract work and I'm never sure when that will stop working and I get stuck with a few months that we have to live off of savings. It's just part of being a provider.

[@Shadowdemoninsideyourwalls]

Bdubs, I teared up during this. Not because of what happened, but because of how you looked like you were about to cry the entire time. I REALLY wanted to go across the country and give him the BIGGEST HUG he’s ever had!❤❤❤🥺🥺🥺

[@AlbertoLopez-mn8ms]

Bdubs's voice is top notch! "You'll speak when spoken to" that was an instant classic. Even the in video ads that Bdubs produces are a joy to watch and have classic phrases that come up from time to time "she gaming"

[@ShallWeRiot]

Excuse me im so busy today, thought id just watch a little while i had lunch, ended up watching the whole thing!! Insanely deep and introspective from Bdubs, and compassionate and encouraging without prying on imp & skizz's side. Genuinely a fantastic example of how to get meaningful content while still being graceful. Theyre really hitting their stride

[@SombrLou]

The fact Bdubs makes contact still for us today in memory of his daughter is a gut punch and I’m proud to say this man is my role model and idol. He is what I want to strive for I want to be the man he is today. I’m also currently crying cus like my god that story man

[@slitterell]

Every time I hear bdubs talk, it gives me more respect for the man. Made a grown man cry today! I really appreciate that guy

[@johnoswald9143]

This was a heavy one, hearing Bdubs being so open and sharing some of the hardest times of his and his Family life. All can say is Bdubs has gave us hours upon hours of joy and thank you for being as strong as you are, it lifts us all up seeing someone bearing such a heavy load and pulling through. Thank you Impulse, Skizz and Bdoubleo100.

[@thejonbmc]

I recently stumbled across the "Why Pray for Bdubs?" video he posted about the tragic circumstances with his third daughter. Having two children myself, I can't even imagine how hard that time was for him. It's incredible that he was able to find his way back, and after learning about that part of his life I came to appreciate his content even more. A new Bdubs video is an event for me.

[@christhompson1422]

man listening to Bdubs get real about life was amazing. I love seeing the curtan get pulled back. Its great to see that you are real people and have the same struggles we have.

[@krunkjunk]

Thank you Bdubs for the open and vulnerable discussion! Some people seem like they would rather die than actually just talk about what is real to their experience but I think it's so important especially in the social media world where it seems like everyone puts on a facade of the life highlight reel.

[@dragonladyusps]

I cried back then with B dubs and his daughters passing, and did again today with him.

[@thelegendarybarlowe0727]

I didn’t expect to watch this episode and cry. I’ve gone through losing a child early, and bdubs is spot on as soon as see the pregnancy test, you know that child is yours and you instantly fall in love with everything it is and everything it has the potential to be. And when that future is cut short it is so tough. I proud of you bdubs for getting through that segment and for keeping it in the video. And skizz handled it beautifully, so caring and tactful. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@robynchadwick3123]

The way bdubs is angled towards them on the couch and impulse’s mic arm makes it seem like it’s attached to bdubs’ mic as well. It makes it seem like he’s really there. I appreciate the effort ❤

[@lolickypeepee23xdd6]

Bdubs is incredibly artistic and entertaining to watch and worth subbing to for his creativity and unique humor, but the wild thing is hes also such a genuine dude and role model when hes outside of playing a character especially with what hes been through- truly deserves a lot of subs but also a lot of genuine respect

[@xiastarlight9751]

Thrilled to see BDubs on the podcast, he's just such an amazing guy, makes people smile and laugh and does it so effortlessly. I discovered him during one of the worst times in my life and his personality kept me sane in that horrible time. Thanks for having him on, and for doing what you do. I love seeing the topics you guys choose to talk about, and the way you are just genuine regular people in your episodes. Keep it up!

I love the set-up that BDubs had, he was making eye contact with both Imp and Skizz when speaking to them and also eye contact with the camera. That is true craftsmanship.

this episode has got to be top favorite so far. i got so pulled in with what value the entire discussion that transpired had, more than i expected to. it's almost 12 am right now in our contry and boy did this get me thinking so deep about life, my relationships with the people around me, and just what i've been doing. i applaud the "finding a balance" part because it evidently shows in bdubs character how much it shaped him to become the admirable person he is to his family, friends, and community. like just wow. moreover, (writing and editing this as i watch the episode, sorry) i'm just so awestruck how honest and vulnerable this episode was. i did not know this much information about bdubs an hour ago, and it truly made me respect him more than i already do. the way he has traversed life until now, obviously not without hardship, is so inspiring. how can a man be this strong and take on such a concrete perspective in life? i could never be 1/4 the person bdubs is. what a great man, really. loved this guest episode. cheers to life. ❣️

Thank you, BDubs, for opening up, making yourself so vulnerable & sharing your family's story with us. Didn't expect to cry in the gym today, but grateful for it. Been where you are.

Amazing start of the year with Bdubs. He took us on a journey, opened up about hard parts of his life gave us life lessons, career insights and laughter. He's such a humble guy but has this "I am perfect" humor that clearly is self-deprecating, so funny. He's very entertaining and not just his personality but also his editing and content. His builds are awe-inspiring... I should add more praise to make him more uncomfortable lol. Excited for part 2

[@Cooper3471]

As a now 25 year old, with 2 children it is very surreal to me that I started watching Bdubs when he was still relatively small. Minecraft was my favorite thing at the time but I'm also grateful to him because he introduced me to the NBA through his old NBA 2K playthroughs. The way he brought his energy to every game he played, just remembering it feels like it was yesterday watching them but it was nearly 8 years ago at this point. He truly is a generational talent and I'm so glad to be a fan of his

[@jennareally]

I love that they have a genuine friendship. I think that is why their endeavors are successful.

[@bearpawdgamr2785]

Oh man. Discovering Hermits only a few months ago feels like such a personal crime! I'm so glad I know about them now because every one of them is so unique. Bdubs, thank you for being so kind and sharing some of your story.

[@YamaguchiEtsuko]

I always love watching these guest podcasts because not only do I just love the banter, it always reminds us of just how human these creators are. And that's something a lot of people tend to forget. It's good to listen to these and remind ourselves that these are real people behind the screen

[@livelaughgnome2375]

I'm not Crying, Your crying! Thank you for sharing your story. Impulse and Skizz thanks for letting us see the softer side of content creators! Your doing great work!

[@elizabeththacker9919]

I just want to say thank you for doing the podcast sometimes you forget that the people you see online or real people and go through real struggles and with B Double O sharing this story it reminds me but you guys take time out of your life just to try to make ours a little bit better I wish each and everyone of you nothing but happiness in success

[@JudgeShamgar]

One of the best interviews I've ever seen. All three of you are amazing. Thank you for showing success through adversity.

[@arcanerogue]

B-Dubs, my heart breaks for you. Thank you for sharing your experiences and your struggles. It resonates so strongly with me, as my wife and I had a similar experience. I really get what you and Skizz were saying about guilt as a content creator too, and I struggle with it a lot. You guys are awesome.

[@IdoesDoodles]

Being fairly newer to the Hermitcraft community in general(since season 8), I never knew about this part of Bdubs’ story. I always had a deep admiration for Bdubs ever since I started watching his content, now it has grown so much more ❤

[@oleanderB]

I didn’t know I needed a singing Bdubs playing guitar. I need to hear his music!! He sounds so good!

[@ttokieddokie]

came in here for the laughs but leaving with so much tears 😭 the way he talks about his struggles juggling content creation and his family was something I never expected of him being one of the funniest youtuber out there. Bdubs is such an admirable family guy, huge respect to this man. 🙌

[@RhizoidM]

I gravitate towards the technical Minecraft players, and it’s through their admiration that I was introduced to Bdubs. Most recently I recall Doc declaring that Bdubs is “on another level”. Couldn’t agree more. Thank you Bdubs for sharing so openly. Thank you Imp and Skizz for creating this space.

[@RedisFun2]

My respect for Bdubs....... Just...... Through the roof! Thank you for sharing your emotions!

[@LaGrenouille09]

I loved BDubs personality before this podcast, but I admire him so much more for being so vulnerable with his grief. People who have experienced such trauma and go on to create light and laughter for others are the most incredible souls.

[@JohnAw3som3]

I was watching Bdubs do his family vlogs when he was going through the entire process with his daughter that passed. It was incredibly heartbreaking and moving. To see him show back up after going through that was inspirational and I think of it often. I lost my fiancee to cancer about a decade ago and I know how helpless one can feel. To anyone that thinks they are at their lowest, know that the rollercoaster eventually goes back up. Keep going.

[@cheddarbub6324]

This is why I love this podcast, you guys, and your community. You don’t see this level of realism and character strength anywhere else. Bdubs is an absolute treasure of a human being, and I’m so glad you guys got to talk on this level. It really brings in my first point about why you guys have such a healthy and flourishing community! Thanks for the podcast, I absolutely can’t wait to hear part 2!

[@MxttGames]

Wow... I'm that 14 year old that turns 26 on the 9th of Jan 2024, I haven't got kids or my own family but I've just started making my own videos primarily because of Bdubs. I have so much respect for that man. Thanks for the podcast Imp and Skizz, this was a great one!

We are blessed with the Minecraft Bob Ross himself

[@MoonlitBookworm73]

I was watching the phasmo VOD yesterday and literally went “Yayyyy, Bdubs!” When y’all announced he would be on the podcast this week. Thanks for the podcast guys, it’s a perfect way to finish off my winter break 🤍 Also, this is my first time seeing BDubs face and I’m shocked, but his voice does fit his face. 37:30 Learning to step away 56:30 Valleys in Content Creation The stories in this episode were so raw and vulnerable and I’m so grateful that you shared them Bdubs. ❤

[@eledatowle8767]

If you watch his videos, when he has a sponsor, he usually records himself at home doing silly things irl and tying them into the commercial... Some of the most entertaining commercials ever made. 🙂

[@MoonlitBookworm73]

@@eledatowle8767Huh, interesting!
