Leo Vader's Completely Optional Christmas Special

[@conradburroughs]

Is it optional to make or optional to watch?

[@LeoVader]

both!

[@Lean42]

@@LeoVader but if you don't make it we can't watch it how can it be both optional to make AND to watch??

[@cybersushi4930]

@@Lean42 well it was optional to make, but since he did, it is now optional to watch.

[@djtommypizza92]

the bong rip with the joint in the mouth too is iconic

[@RyannJoyRule]

I'm dead

[@poabott]

Reminder to all citizens that watching "Leo Vader's Completely Optional Christmas Special" is mandatory

[@malcolmcooke7131]

Bet the person who made this comment has really small toes

[@LargelyNonsense_818]

Just absolute little beans, right

[@JacobGeller]

Cork was canonically Santa even before this video

[@samcorbett8783]

Even your comments sound like in depth analysis

[@lazyfish7675]

I truly appreciate your content, I found you from the video on why horror music is beautiful and it absolutely blew me away. I think that the head transplant video might be one of your best & you are the reason I tried returnal. (Honorable mentions to your golem, art & vandalism, & fear videos)

[@netriosilver]

somehow I'm not surprised jacob geller watches these

[@mmayhewd]

I love creator crossover comments. 😁

[@Tankirb]

Honestly a bit surprised the puppet characters have stuck around. Kinda expected them to be gone by now. Lovely addition

[@zanman42]

I got the feeling that it was a way for his friends (who appear have been around helping behind the scenes for a while) to have a way to be “on screen” and actually have some silly improv bits and banter between them.

[@thecasey4259]

I like Leo's videos a lot but the puppets have hurt his content. I use to look forward to his new releases but since the puppets it has gone downhill a bit for me. Still wish Leo much success

[@JerekBilbar]

@@thecasey4259come onnnnn I genuinely love their inclusion and I didn’t think I would give a shit.

[@LadyAnagram]

Glad we got confirmation that Leo’s house is still randomly teleporting gotta hate it when a show randomly drops plot lines after all.

[@g0dzilla5]

I don’t know if this has mass appeal but man this is exactly the content I crave

[@justlikemusic3481]

Tree weeks after christmas? Thats what i call perfect timing!

[@terribletrivium]

Now whenever I watch your channel I want to buy expensive puppets but I know that IRL they don't talk and move on their own and won't be my friend. Influencers creating false expectations again smh.

[@JerekBilbar]

Damn, I don’t know if I was mentally ready to see the puppeteer arms

[@DrLazerbeam]

The arms are only there because the puppets are being played by puppets for the Christmas Special. Think of it like normally you would have a Christmas Carol, well this one is a Muppets Christmas Carol where the actors have been replaced by puppets but the actors just happened to be puppets also. Good luck unwrapping that one for Januaristmas

[@horusreloaded6387]

That is their spiritual connection to their world, matrix or avatar the blue dudes style.

[@ivyburrows9763]

Hay Leo, I hope you are well, I just wanted to let you know how wonderful I think your content is, I am sure you are a busy person and I know that you channel doesnt have the level of subscribers that your content deserves, but I hope that you still have a passion for this, your videos are art and I truly hope that you make more

[@Tine_of_Nice_Dreams]

The level of refreshment I got from adults talking through a conflict sincerely and respectfully was truly a holiday gift to me, thanks Leo

[@apedanger]

I MISS YOU LEO, come back drop a video sometime ok?

[@lil-bingus]

Leo, baby, Where art thou

[@MsDouggieFresh]

I love the puppets I need to smoke weed with bart so bad

[@SeveralGhost]

The puppeteer arms being visible reminds me of all of the 4:3 shows that were ruined when they were rescanned for widescreen Great video as always

[@kendragaylord]

When the wise men came I think they brought gifts of Max Payne 3, Max Payne 3, and Max Payne 3.

[@algonquintraveler]

I'll watch the puppets as long as they're around. such a great rhythm with all three

[@exdeefacemusic]

not blissed out, stoked, or feelin the vibe or some other emotion i've yet to describe that was very cool

[@SamHandwiches]

Christmas came so early this year! I'm grinched out!

[@sworddude87]

It's actually weirdly fitting if this is his last video.

[@Jeorin]

Cool Santa attempting to plug Raycon and Raid Shadow Legends is peak comedy.

[@NigelMelanisticSmith]

You know, it's obvious that the puppets need hands, but it's funny seeing them lol

[@haroldp.sadwood1181]

Still awaiting that big normal video essay, if you're still up for it. There's nothing quite like this channel out there. I keep coming back and rewatching these.

[@chimominino]

Damn this hit hard! I've been meeting a few other humans around the 30 year mark (myself included) who are discovering having boundaries, that it's ok to have needs, communicating them... You sum up this discovery with such clarity, I would watch for this alone, but your cosy and authentic style just makes it this perfect package of entertainment and reflection... Nice one Leo, happy 2024 to you :)

[@Tankirb]

How did I go the entire video not noticing the hands controlling the puppets? It's barley even being hidden. I guess immersion is a powerful thing.

[@SkittleMonstr]

0:24 I'm just glad somebody confirmed that these books really did exist and weren't simply a fever dream from my childhood

[@coffechipmunk2108]

Gregor The Overlander was better than Hunger Games tbh. Eternally angry we never got a film adaptation.

[@sabretoo]

thanks for the recc, adding to my tbr

[@SkylorBeck]

Leo, I had to pause at 4:15 because your acting is nearly identical to how my Ex legitimately would handle scenarios. You absolutely nailed this scene and it physically hurt me.

[@ericshultz1957]

Is this Channel getting Shadow Banned or something? It took me so long to find this channel again and im SUBCRIBED

[@Aldrahill]

Man I love this style, the conversation between you and your two homies is just killer, this was a brilliant video.

[@opticghost3333]

always happy to see Jeff Cork

[@stevenjohnson828]

i love you leo. hope your 2024 is great.

[@Estkileoto]

Leo if you're reading this... I stumbled upon your content a few weeks ago and I've been going through your entire ouvre. But I'm starting to run out of material!! This is my new favorite channel. Please make more videos so I can watch them. Thank you :)

[@tawfiqmorshed2694]

I thought that I had been drowning in a sea of rage and this video made me realise that I was actually lying in a kiddy pool filled with my pee this whole time

[@gentlemanscarecrow5987]

damn

[@globster222]

Bro where u at

[@LucaW.]

Leo is always having emotional crises amongst puppets now; somebody please save him

[@cfraute]

Thanks Leo, for reminding us all of the true reason for the season; to celebrate how cool Bart Simpson is. God bless us, everyone

[@greatscott175]

"Not a hair over 30" yeah i have to buzz my head now that I'm 30 too 🥺

[@Clover011808]

Windbag did such a good job!!!

[@bellyit]

wish i could bottle the rush of joy I felt when I realized that Bart specifically gets a Martin Luther King Jr. Day gift cuz that's their birthday

[@omletecrayola]

Wow, today is historical. I have stumbled upon a funny youtube channel

[@ashiracothron]

I love new completely mandatory videos!!

[@TheApollo90]

You successfully made me love a weed smoking alien puppet. That’s the real spirit of Christmas

[@wjr4700]

The only way I like my christmas specials is a month late and under 10 minutes. Truely a gift.

[@soraaftp]

A Christmas Leo Vader video… Can’t wait to watch this on Christmas Morning!

[@UhMelvinDoo]

Refreshed my page and saw Leo uploaded. Its a good day today

[@xaviere1644]

Merry Christmas everybody. Seeing the boys settle their differences healthily has really gotten me into the holiday spirit.

[@milliondollarmistake]

Normally I hate christmas. This video didn't change that but I still liked it. Thank you Pigma Dengar puppet and cool ass alien puppet.

[@vollkommenheit.]

upload again, thank you. :)

[@jestenia590]

With every one of your videos I have to stop myself from going down in the comments to repeat the first joke that made me laugh, which is normally a min and a half in

[@wanderfilho5443]

I think you should do a video about if the game Free City, from Free Guy is actually a good game!

[@rainfeller]

I FUCKING LOVE THOSE PUPPETS, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING ME MORE PUPPET CONTENT, LEO!!!!

[@sigilvii]

I hope you're back soon. I only discovered your channel a month ago and I'm running out of back catalog vids to watch.

[@nicoleouellette4066]

Hey Leo I just want to say that I stumbled across one of your videos about a week ago and instantly fell in love. I find your humor and comedy to be so funny and have been binge watching every single video. I'm at the point where I've caught up so I'm very excited for your next video and can't wait! I hope you continue to create these hilarious videos so long that it gives you joy as well! ❤

[@dandinkler6315]

Good to see Jeff cork again 👏

[@RRobbie1]

i love leo’s videos being so far apart because when a new one comes out and i watch it and rewatch the old ones i ive changed enough in 4 months to enjoy the videos for different reasons

[@Roughling]

genuinely made me feel more than lots of other christmas specials wtf

[@dortchem]

This is absolutely amazing!

[@honkstheclown8631]

I need to go to bed can you take this down and reupload in around 8 hours. Thanks dude

[@Milkex]

always gonna remember this channel... pre puppets and game streams ofc

[@Artemisc16]

Welcome back Leo! Your videos mean a lot to me and many other people, I don't have words for the difficulty you are facing, but know that you have a community of super epic, silly idiots backing you all the way.

[@ShipwreckNinja]

Hey man, I just wanted to reach out here and say that its cool if you take a break, you dont owe anyone anything, and seeing you drop this so soon after the plagiarism vid Im just getting a bit worried is all,. Thank you for making these cool vids hbomb you’re a real one but remember to make time for you. God bless

[@dylanlloyd4657]

No idea why. But that reacher line got me good.

[@pchick]

this one was for this year Christmas so looking forward to next year's

[@punxsutawneyphilofficial]

I really really liked this. I wanna get closer to my friends and never think that just saying "I wanna be more emotionally vulnerable with you" is an option. I'm gonna try this out more often. Thanks for the inspo dude and keep up the good work

[@WhatsTherapy]

this is so many layers of funny and good and deep that it's really nice and good

[@bunnyfrosting1744]

Eating pancakes in my jammies AND there’s a new leo video? Score

[@Multi-Waves_Music]

Me too I'm also eating pajamas I'm my pancakes

[@DrLazerbeam]

Merry Christmas

[@ScarletRebel96]

Good to see you again buddy 😊

[@duckpoof4205]

Leo Vader. You are great, thanks for the free content. Looking forward to your big new video

[@jakemar2326]

[@gwemlins]

Can't believe you hit us with the PS3 has no games in 2024

[@orionmich20]

Wow, it really is a truly merry Christmas

[@Kink_Shaman]

Nice Zorbulonian callback. “On Weed” was some good shit.

[@gilbert2532]

I hope you eventually explore the logic within the Night at the Museum movies. There is a lot to unpack

[@ajjeehh]

wow! astonishingly early with this one leo

[@squarenoize1]

Literally foaming at the mouth new Leo Vader video

[@FastidiousFalchion]

Man, I must've missed when this was uploaded on Christmas day

[@vagabondlibrarian]

damn I'm drunk af right now but this shit still interfaces with my mind meld you know?

[@Digital_Apparition]

so this one wont be on the test??

[@claudiubele4892]

stay strong Leo, welcome back bro

[@speechruin]

lmao someone flagged the santa section as an actual ad in sponsorblock.

[@madmarscha]

super slurpers golden mentioned!

[@-PNGMAFIA-]

bart simpson is an icon i don't care how he smokes

[@JamScamly]

that shot of planet Zorbulon at 5:33 really threw me for a loop

[@largeproblem]

just watched your Downsizing video yesterday, so i feel at least somewhat responsible for this

[@rivenroyce9923]

I love Leo videos

[@doctorpretender]

Gregor the Overlander! I remember reading that in middle school! I didn’t realize til after the movies came out that it’s the same author as The Hunger Games

[@bryansnaylor]

What a gift you have given

[@RetroPokemonTCG]

Yesss I've been spending the afternoon watching your videos wondering when the next one would be!

[@rampion1228]

I watch this every year with my family ❤😊

[@Hrydra]

another leo vader classic in the bag

[@Poopsock3317]

This was a transcendent experience

[@godspeedyoublacknerd]

I ALWAYS KNEW JEFF CORK WAS SANTA CLAUS

[@DarkWorlds]

Christmas is over man let it go

[@cybersushi4930]

how the fuck has no-one mentioned how on santa's naughty or nice meter it says all of them have done regicide???? edit: oh i just got that that's because the party that leo planned ended up with the king dying. i'm dumb.

[@FrenchyAU]

For a minute I totally expected a teacher sponsorship with that oddly specific mention of reacher

[@HEARDtheNERD]

who made the puppets they rule

[@kildogery]

Learning Leo is a Wham fan, has blown my mind.

[@jasmine-ruff-puff9951]

Same, feelings and communication is hard 😭

[@sakura_fyre]

Underland Chronicles! Leo's taste in fiction W

[@ahsatan8997]

Baby come back
