hes also wearing a weird shirt and normal pants

[@Suchega_Uber]

I was just about to say that. It's such a little thing, but it is so funny.

[@Houkai1]

Bruuuuh I didn't even catch that!!

[@BatTech_]

Absolutely missed that. Incredible

[@theanonymouscommenter3035]

He wore those for the entire episode though, I don't think that was part of his bit

[@samrogers9465]

@@theanonymouscommenter3035 the joke was that he put on a weird shirt, he just happened to be wearing normal pants

[@EnycmaPie]

And he's not even wearing his usual stupid pants.

[@Mike_Ka-Chowski]

Another banger. Another banger from Damien Haas from Delicious in Dungeon

[@riro7170]

another banger, another banger by That Awkward Guy from Smosh KZbin

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

So spot on! My autistic ass cracked up so hard at this!

[@mustachedclouds]

hes just like me fr

[@RafidW9]

No stupid pants either

[@Am3lia77]

I love him 😂❤

[@ammanbaksh7099]

I need an explanation. I dont get damians joke lol

[@VivienVarga-ki3sd]

ammanbaksh7099 the joke is that he has autism and does not understand social cues. So he does and says weird things sometimes.

[@thomassaurus]

Is the joke that he normally doesn't read the room?

[@YouLikeKrabbyPattiesDontYou]

no, it's that he's autistic so he's never done reading the room. always gotta be on alert to make sure you're keeping up with stuff non autistic folks don't have to put effort into getting.

[@ThatHomo8UrD]

Damien has autism so...

[@NoxaClimaxX]

Yep. Tends to happen with autism.

[@Aeycer8-bit]

For the life of me… this was the only joke from the vid I didn’t get, nor did I find funny

[@jimmy_the_squid9456]

Same, it just felt like they were giving him almost a pity win

[@AaronLevyDrums]

Neurodivergent People and People with Autism have trouble reading the room and understanding peoples moods and the vibe.

[@Aeycer8-bit]

@@AaronLevyDrums well if Damien DOES have any of those conditions, I wouldn’t have known without prior knowledge. He sure conceals it well

[@chompyoface]

@@Aeycer8-bit he semi frequently wears a shirt that says "AUTISM" on it

[@Aeycer8-bit]

@@chompyofacethat really isn’t that much of an obvious visible statement tbf

[@sabinopereira1631]

I love the split second it takes everyone to realize what he just said, lol

[@simpayshenaides]

I stil dont get it somebody help but im almost there.

[@bardement]

I also didn't get it

[@riro7170]

​​@@simpayshenaidesthis implies that Damien usually doesn't "read the room" when he's with other people, meaning that he doesn't "understand the general mood or atmosphere in a social situation or gathering". (But neurodivergent ppl often have trouble reading the room, so he's valid. He's also a wise and clever person and doesn't mean any harm when he fails to read the room. This was a good joke that everyone incl Damien obviously enjoyed, but in past videos, the cast doesn't acknowledge this trait of his, after he's mentioned it a few times. Maybe they're not obligated to, but they've often teased him or given him annoyed looks. Damien seems to understand and take it lightly though, but hopefully they and his crew mates didn't harshly agree with him here either.) SORRY FOR THE PARAGRAPH

[@chalkdust6124]

Hes not very good at telling when its not the right time to say a joke aka "reading a room"​@simpayshenaides

[@simpayshenaides]

@@riro7170 wow so thats very common to what i thought. Cause my thought was they always joke damien talks about himself all the time. Thats why he cant read the room or the other because he only talks about himself. But not in a negative way

[@namenamename390]

Tommy coming at him to applaud his joke is my favorite part of this

[@davidkristahay]

When you hear that full lung Tommy laugh? You’ve hit gold. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@SmishSmosh]

Damien is probably the most consistently creative person on TNTL. He almost never has a lazy/bad bit

[@keithklassen5320]

I dunno about that, I think he has duds like anyone, but when he strikes gold, it just blindsides you with creativity.

[@VeraExora]

I agree

[@Scrofar]

Tommy with the guns tho

[@animatorFan74]

Outside of Smosh, I don't feel like I know Damien at all, but this definitely paints a good picture of what to expect from him (I, too, struggle with reading the room sometimes)

[@jimmy_the_squid9456]

This aged so badly after his Twitter meltdown

[@spectacledbear]

Doesn’t that mean it aged well, cause it shows this is the opposite version of him?

[@VivienVarga-ki3sd]

jimmy_the_squid9456 people on Twitter love to cancel others based on a single mistake. Dont let that influence your opinion on him

[@VivienVarga-ki3sd]

jimmy_the_squid9456 also kind of ironic how you call it a meltdown when he probably had an autistic meltdown which is why he acted that way.

[@YouLikeKrabbyPattiesDontYou]

​@@VivienVarga-ki3sdyeah, people talk about being understanding and taking others' disabilities into account until they're not just making funny jokes about said disability and experience struggles. then suddenly treating others kindly goes out the window.

[@VivienVarga-ki3sd]

YouLikeKrabbyPattiesDontYou they only treat us with if we act the way they approve. If the ugly side of our disability comes out they call us awful monsters. Istg i am tired of nts
