let's get twisted

[@BigJoel]

here's my second channel, if you're interested! www.youtube.com/@littlestjoel

[@afroponix3414]

You posted this to Little Joel instead of Big Joel

[@looking4afix]

@@afroponix3414 haha yes

[@beangobernador]

at this point the second channel is big joel

[@werbnaright5012]

Noooooo keep the unwashed masses away from the beauty of Little Joel! Not really though. You're in charge. Just do your thing.

[@Sauce787]

When you first made the little Joel Channel didn't you say that you we're eventually just going to use it like Twitter when the channel got enough subscribers to make Community posts? I thought the whole reason the channel was created in the first place was just to allow you to post tweets off of Twitter. I like the videos, but I think it's really funny that you just never got around to doing that.

I feel like Gigantic Joel would be like Quinton videos (8 hours long)

[@EpichlyBp]

I legitimately thought this was a Little Joel when I clicked on it just based on the length alone hahah.

[@Green0Photon]

Yeah, same

[@innegativeion]

Yup, same

[@walexander8378]

Little Joel killed big Joel. That's what that little dance was at the end. Sick and twisted little demon

[@halcyonacoustic7366]

I checked the little joel page and saw no video then saw this in recommended.

[@khadeejones1136]

I was like "huh it's a little joel video on the main channel, whoa"

[@strengthsleuth]

Woah Big Joel finally acknowledges Little Joel!

[@strengthsleuth]

They should team up

Most ambitious crossover ever

It's always nice to see big channels shout-out smaller ones.

We need a Medium Joel who just reviews cardigans.

Perhaps he could additionally review The Cardigans

[@shesh2265]

omg yes

[@Julia_and_the_City]

I'd watch that

[@destroy2enjoy]

YES

[@Green0Photon]

I actually like this change. I want to continue seeing random shit on Little Joel, but I also like the mini video essays. It's neat to separate them and I'm happy to see this continue.

[@jeffreywilliams3421]

If only we could merge Big Joel and Little Joel, and become who you were meant to be: Joel, just Joel.

[@ryansabin2618]

No it would have to be Medium Joel it's the only way

[@eveofdestruction]

Or Mid joel hahahah

[@LibertyMonk]

@@ryansabin2618 GTFO, Medium is a dumb label. Call it Regular, Middle, or "tall".

[@Dave-po2mz]

Anathema

[@wellacoyoteishere185]

Little is value of one and big is the value of two and therefore to have Joel you must multiply by Negative Joel

[@hyacynth2182]

I think this choice makes perfect sense! I’ve been noticing the little joel videos getting higher effort, more thoughtfully scripted, and I’ve definitely enjoyed that they’re good videos! but I’m glad you’re taking some time to define how you want both channels to feel for you

[@feorge4972]

it's amazing to think it has already been half a year of microdosing joel almost everyday. let's gooooo let's get twisted!

[@reginac3109]

that's crazy lol, and it's made me realize how much of a bigger fan of Joel's content I've become since he started the second channel

[@orionjustmelted]

Love Big Joel. Wish Bog Joel would emerge from his swamp and do a video every now and then

[@bigchez2855]

Little Joel grew!

[@randyohm3445]

When I saw your AI art video about that beer ad (which I loved by the way) I immediately thought that it was really more of a Big Joel video. It was well-written, edited in a professional way, very thought provoking, and sort of serious. It's seemed for a while that we really were witnessing the birth of Medium Joel, who is essentially just Big Joel but for quicker projects. I think this change makes a lot of sense.

[@SpudMackenzie]

Ah man that mouth click jam at the end fucking rocks.

[@talonhammer]

It made me autistically copy it and I couldnt be more pleased with the content!

[@kyleriley1308]

I was like... is that Down with the Sickness?

[@thegoalistheplan3868]

That's awesome. I always thought of Little Joel and Big Joel divide in terms of unscripted and scripted videos respectively. It was never about the timeframe. And I was even wondering why the little video essays started popping on the "little" channel instead of the main one. This change makes the distinction way more intuitive

[@riccardomazzaro1901]

As a booby champ of the first hour, I can't help but be excited at anything Whatever Size Joel plans to do. After all, he truly is the Willy Wonka of KZbin, that's like his one thing (if Willy Wonka didn't benefit from Apartheid and also didn't make chocolate but instead made beautiful videos for this platform, that is)

[@EBattousai]

What about the Oompa Loompas

[@Matthew.E.Kelly.]

I predict... 6 months before the emergence of Joel Colossal.

[@sloanekuria3249]

Thank you for including us in your process. This feels very validating as I conduct my own life experiments. Let the twisting commence!

[@jacksonkoski3343]

Big Joel videos are easy to identify, they're one in a million, absolutely wonderful Little Joel videos are like my afternoon snack, I look forward to them every day and they brighten my day in a way few other things do Medium Joel videos are a fusion of the two, the well thought out reasoning and unique charm I've come to expect and to love from you, in a less committal and more frequent fashion. I'm so glad all of these get to exist together, I've really never seen anyone or anything do it like you do Joel. Seeing you evaluate things that make you happy and making changes to make them the best they can be is so comforting, I'm excited for this new phase on this channel! Much love

[@destroy2enjoy]

You are like the only person who doesn’t irritate me when they talk so much, i could lit listen to you ramble on about anything and you would somehow be insightful and smart

[@merbst]

He has a very entertaining face. Or do you mean in audio-only feeds?

[@Manlyman47]

I see how it its. This is the big guy trying to put a stop to the up and coming little guy. Very transparent.

[@ericamaya2467]

Having little joel be twitter again and having small little essays pop up on the main sounds wonderful. How twisted.

[@danieladdled]

We all have two Joels, and each of us has to decide which one to feed.

[@carolyns6105]

I’m so happy to hear this! I’ve been loving the way Little Joel videos have been looking and feeling lately. I love my almost-daily dose of Little Joel and my almost-monthly overdose of Big Joel. Glad to hear that this pattern can continue and my intake of Joel will not soon be withdrawn. Thank you Joel(s)!

[@jayfaisa3171]

i say big joel should declare war on little joel.

[@jademack458]

2:58 What an amazingly succinct way to summarize the thoughts you put forth in this video. 👏🏼

[@rhalfik]

Little Joel outpaced Big Joel. Big Joel couldn't stand it and consumed Little Joel.

[@HeisenbergFam]

Cant believe Big Joel has same haircut as Little Joel, I believe one of them is copying the other

[@stuartsmith4369]

So Joel size will now be proportionate to amount of planning, rather than length of video. Sure, lets set our Joelonomists to work on evaluating this new paradigm of Joel measurement.

[@Zizumia]

Big Joel is about the long video essays, Little Joel is about the random thoughts for the day. Medium Joel should be about random daily video essays!

[@Zazzlebips]

I'm really happy about this. I love Little Joel vids and hearing that you love doing them to this degree is just really nice! Win Win I say!

[@paulmyrin5028]

This was inevitable. The Big Joel always eats the Little Joel.

[@deannickname]

the dissonance of a big AND a little joel existing in the same place is lovecraft levels of terror

[@kameqblindweaver8296]

It makes me so happy to see Joel so enthusiastic about his writing. It seems like not long ago he was going through some tough self-critical bouts, and I'm glad to see him excited about the channel. I love your work guy, it genuinely brightens my day and enriches my life

[@leahpersaud9930]

He genuinely teaches me so much about healthy relationships. Change is gonna happen and thats okay, adapting to change is necessary but if the adaption doesn't work out we can try something else. Cause I love the long form content, the short form content and the twitter thought videos and I don't want to lose any of them.

[@thunder____]

I am a lover of Joels of all sizes, regardless of medium. Whether you want to post your short, scripted Joels here or on the other channel, I'll watch them with joy in my little heart.

[@comp.lex4]

I'm so happy you're doing this. I've been feeling a very similar way about both channels for a while- little Joel had too many scripted mini essays, and they were great, but it wasn't what the channel had started for, and meanwhile Big Joel has had uploads less and less frequently as your projects get bigger. If you're going to write smaller video essays on the side, I'm glad that they'll be here.

[@greydaze3]

I'm so glad you're enjoying Little Joel. It's okay to have things wane and wax in your interests. I hope you follow your heart on this

[@kaypea9648]

I am a joel cinematic universe Stan. In this parasocial relationship, i support you unconditionally lol

[@wweltz]

Just have to say it is so lovely and refreshing to hear you enjoy making these videos!! I really enjoy watching them! Thank you!

[@francisfrancis3374]

It's good to do whatever you like imo. I wish YT didn't shove analytics in creators' faces as much. Much as youtubing can be "a job", it can also just be a thing you do.. and I hate that youtube pushes creators to treat it like work. In the end it probably burns people out faster, too.

[@TitenSxull]

"From your perspective that shouldn't make that much of a difference" Me in my brain: "We gotta protect Little Joel. He's trying to kill Little Joel. We gotta protect him. He's just a little guy, he doesn't stand a chance against Large Joel"

[@xyz.anonymous]

We... Need... Micro Joel

[@Novelette22]

Thank you for this, Henry. I was extremely worried about this problem. It did not go unnoticed that your Little Joel videos quickly became very scripted and Big Joel stayed quiet for a good long time. I love any time I get to spend watching your content, but i did indeed fall in love with Big Joel first, and I admit that I missed you being there. I love the new Disney video and I've already watched it three times. As always, I'm so excited to see what you make next and proud to be a patron of your content

[@aedof]

I loved the part where the tiny guy said "🐿🐿"

[@dangramp2134]

The littler the Joel the bigger the Joel

[@Dragonettetpain]

this is exactly the kind of content I want! The long form stuff is fun but I also loved the little baby form stuff a lot, mixing them together will be good. However, Little Joel started as the channel where you talk about Jordan Peterson Chinese Milk Factory and I miss that.

[@cynicismIncarnate]

Because of the title I thought this was a Little Joel video. But it’s not, and that means it’s not as good. Disappointed. /s

I'm down with this. The most exciting part about it is that you're so into the idea. Even if it eventually goes back to normal, it's always fun to see a creator get that extra kick of excitement.

Anything that gives us more consistent Joels, no matter the size, is cool with me. I've adored Little Joel, and think it is one of the greatest things to come out of Twitter dive into 4chan status.

[@MichaelBNegron]

Honestly, it just makes me happy to hear that you're finding this more short-form style so fulfilling! From an outside perspective, I think you'd have done fine even without this shift, but it also makes a lot of sense that you'd want to preserve something you've worked so hard for. Keep it up big (and little) guy, just keep going with your heart!

I’ve been enjoying your snark and irreverent takes on events happening real-time, but I genuinely love and feel inspired by the longform, multidimensional videos you produce and upload here on the main channel. It’s rare for me to finish watching a video and feel like I’ve come away with new insight and greater nuance on a topic, but Big Joel video essays reach that level of depth without fail. Thank you for sharing your mind and its insights with we the internet, sir. 💙
