Moncton's Biggest Hater | 2022 Anderson Anecdotes

[@avarisi]

For most videos, I have been removing stutters, pauses, and redundant/repetitious parts. I will keep segments uncut if the audio can't be spliced or if I want to use it for emphasis. Sometimes the video is resynced to hide the audio cut. This video has various examples of alternate ways to handle these edits. Do you prefer keeping unedited segments or doing it this way? Let me know. :)

[@kozaak2107]

The audio cutting is fine, but frequent video cuts feel kinda jarring.

[@ElvenSwordrus]

The audio is cut supah nicely, like, no joke. Very pleasant to listen to. As for the video - i feel like it’s it doesn’t matter at all for storytime

[@onlinestonedogii]

I want to believe Moncton is real

[@mulattoman]

Imagine a great and beautiful forest, then one day a monolithic slab of concrete rises from the ground and people decide to start living on it...... and that's about it. It exists as a place to gas up your car and get somewhere else, or to Fredericton.

[@bunnyonabunwithagunnicepun5689]

Moncton is where the Sinners go when they die

[@Bidmartinlo]

Normally civilization settles next to freshwater or saltwater rivers. Moncton has a mud river. To me this is both amusing and confusing.

[@koboDresden]

@@Bidmartinlo So it's like Ankh-Morpork?

[@liketocodev]

as a moncton resident it unfortunately is real

[@maxhowlett9661]

I love how these are like 60% genuinely strange people and occurances and 40% just people being friendly and outgoing towards the most sheltered hermit in Canada. Like some of the "NPC" conversation is just normal conversation that people have on a day to day basis.

[@crafciak31]

They do?

[@williamrutherford553]

@@crafciak31 It's a more small-town thing, which is why it confuses some people. It's just idle chit-chat, I guess?

[@richard_pine]

I can't decide if Joe is committing to the oblivious hermit bit super hard or if he really believes that any interaction with a stranger is an oblivion NPC moment lmao

[@liam2745]

@@williamrutherford553alright I felt like I was going crazy, thank god I’m not the only one who thinks this is normal

[@Inso_yuugen]

I find that NPC conversations are a natural thing that happens as you get older. I never even knew I had NPC dialogue options.

[@freshlymemed5680]

Feels like a symptom of everyone not doing small talk these days on account of the internet and phones existing.

[@RealLargeManTheGiantOne]

Yeah as I get older my desire to make smalltalk grows. There's just something nice about having a super casual no-strings-attached chat with someone you'll never see again

[@dashiellgillingham4579]

I go jogging about five miles every day, and for some reason twice now a guy in a Prius has shouted “take the bus you p***y” at me. Car people are weird idk.

[@PointsofData]

One time a guy is the car next to me made a motion to roll my window down, in kind of an urgent fashion. The red light turned green before I could fully decipher what he wanted through my shroud of spiked social anxiety. I stepped on the gas since I didn't want to hold up the cars behind me, and he sped up to keep in sight of me and motioned for me to call him. I motioned that I didn't understand and sped up, and since he was still in the turning lane he couldn't follow. To this day I am baffled as to why he thought I would just scream my number at him at the mere, vague request of it without any idea who he is or if he isn't going to stalk me. I know I'm a car person but car people are _fucking_ weird man.

[@makeitthrough_]

When I used to work at a grocery store my boss would sometimes have me sweep up the leaves in front of the store, and every single time without fail, some boomer would roll down their windows and shout something along the lines of "looks like someone made a mess!" I drive to and from work but that's my little sanctuary from the rest of the world, I don't know why people feel this unexplainable compulsion to say the dumbest shit from inside their cars

[@GayBrain]

These comments are making me excited and anxious for when i move to a city. Thanks everyone.

[@cyjanek7818]

Worst thing is that Prius is the most hated car in "car community", I guess the person can't handle the frustration lol

[@GypsumGeneration]

Honestly it's so fucking funny to imagine your average Prius owner shouting down random runners on the daily 😂

[@HardBeliever]

Every time Joe talks about Moncton, I relate to it so hard. I grew up in an old "peaked in World War 1" type city, and I've got tons of NPC-type stories from when I was going to school there, and they're all so weird. But I was reminded of the worst bit at 48:10. Just for context, someone in chat said, "Survival horror neighborhood?" The city I grew up in was used as the set for the Silent Hill movies. The worst part is that it already looks like Silent Hill. The film crew just had to wait for the fog to roll in. The city's Wikipedia page literally says, "Many area residents observed that little work had to be done to make downtown look decayed and haunted." Joe's gotta get out of there while he still can!

[@ed_tk421tg4]

St. Louis?

[@LifesNeverHumDrum]

The emotional whiplash going from the “say ‘thank you’” story and laughing my ass off, to the grocery delivery guy. Jesus fucking Christ. Joe lives in a Twilight Zone

[@caspian9694]

The only thing missing is the clip of lili saying "fuckton" with so much spite in her voice

[@bunnyonabunwithagunnicepun5689]

Plot Twist: Moncton is actually boringly normal, and Joe’s just gone crazy over the years

[@mrpoopybutthole9313]

[@JagrasSneedandFeed]

I usually get desensitized after hearing a story once but "say thank you" is so rough

[@LadyAnagram]

Life altering story my brain now functions fundamentally differently

[@averageidiot6645]

One time at like 11pm I was chasing after my dog and ran into a tree. From out of fucking nowhere I just hear some guy scream "FUCKING IDIOT!" I looked around, but couldn't see anything even vaguely humanoid. This guy has lived in my head rent free as some ethereal being watching over my every move, and he made the concious decision to reveal himself to me just so he could point out my stupidity.

[@owenshirrell1150]

saw a chat comment that said “Straight Outta Moncton” which killed me instantly

[@okok-om5oy]

The more I live of Moncton through Joe's stories the better my mental health. thanks avarisi

Okay yeah, some of these are weird, but most of these can be summed up as: "introverted guy raised in a big city moves to a small town where people are nice and actually like to talk to another human being"

[@sweetlikepapaya442]

Lmao absolutely. I moved to a smaller, much friendlier city after highschool, and I still get told I’m rude for not starting up conversations with strangers. I feel for Joe.

[@PointsofData]

OK but I've lived in a small town my entire life and no one here would ever just be like "I've heard legend of a dog called Loretta. Is this her?"

[@elliehugg]

omfg the more and more I think about this the less weird these stories seem. ppl just wanna talk there's nuthin weird abt that!!! 😭

[@artemiygulyaev2280]

One day he's going to start talking like a complete Moncton NPC, meaning that the conversion has succeeded and he has became one of them. Would be the turning point for the channel and the steam, instead of laughing at the stories about moncton NPC's people will just listen to Joe instead

[@Evanz111]

I feel committed for having heard all of these anecdotes before at this point :’)

[@olliemcdowell4503]

Just wait until joe realizes human interaction can be enriching even when it doesn’t have a resolute purpose

[@weirdo3116]

Can be. However, it can also be the exact opposite. I remember I striked up a conversation with my neighbor the other day for like the second time ever. It started off good with him giving me lawn advice and talking about his hobbies. But then it ended bad when he started talking about how how there's a rampage car theft all over the city and that they should install a street light nearby so that people don't get sexually assaulted at night. Like dawg i just wanted to rake the leafs and talk a bit. I don't need to hear that.
