The trick is to be bland but interesting. Jake you are quirky yet uncomfortable.

[@punchempretty]

explains the multiple t-shirts. you just couldn’t be comfortable enough to stick to one.

[@thewherewolf_]

I’d like to think that, all together, we are the People Carrying Things.

[@darkprinceofdorne]

amen Carrying Thing Brother

[@m0L3ify]

I hope he starts every video with "Wassup PCT's!!!" soon. It'll give me the false sense that I belong to an elite group of insiders even though all I did was click play on a KZbin video that randomly appeared in my feed.

[@zucc4764]

Maybe the real People Carrying Things were the friends we made along the way.

[@punchempretty]

@@zucc4764 how relatable

[@bradbradlylife9918]

We are the people that rule the world (bass drops)

[@zoe_bee]

Wow, you're so #relatable. Do you have a $120/week online content creation course I could buy, use once, then realize I could find the same information for free online, so I hide my credit card statement from my partner so they can never see the shameful purchase?

[@ronaldofrias2176]

That's kinda sussy

[@dhiabvaheed284]

That is too detailed...

[@miraclemaker1418]

Okay that's very specific

[@nairocamilo]

That's very specific... And very #relatable

[@mikeeuy4122]

aw hi zoe! you're here :D

[@comradefall]

my goal as a viewer is always to get the content creator to develop a parasocial relationship with me instead

[@Ghostly-00]

That's a good goal lol

[@Iamnottheplatypus]

That's actually smart

[@merck__]

If I buy your $80 merch, will you finally love me and I'll get to actually feel a real human connection for the first time in my adult life?

[@bensmart3520]

Elsa says no.

[@jonahblock]

Sorry, that was your dads job

[@marl3ymarl3y86]

The divorce has definitely taken its toll on MCT, he’s trying to be relatable so get custody of his kids

[@ottoweininger8156]

OUR kids. We, the audience, are part of the family now.

[@marimolen3122]

Hi Jake, I know you'll probably never read this or notice me, but I just want to say that you are SO relatable! If we ever met in real life, we'd DEFINITELY be best friends!

[@ottoweininger8156]

Hey, hey, hey. Stop hitting on my girl

_furiously taking notes during this video_ I'm gonna have SO MANY PARROTS

Finally, someone besides Jreg gets how wonderful parasocial relatonships are. Two KZbinrs down, 37 million to go!

Speaking of parasocial relationship, you are filling the Gus Johnson shaped hole in my life.

Damn that rung so true. Almost forgot he existed already

[@m0L3ify]

#relatable. You're my best friend now. I'm sure absolutely nothing problematic about your real-world persona will ever surface and you're just as wholesome as you seem in your videos. I hope you're developing a $500 master class (half off $1000 for a limited time only!!!) that rehashes everything I can find in a $15 book so I can live vicariously through the illusion that I'm somehow improving myself via your grift.

[@adequate8983]

I like Dune. You like Dune. We're basically best friends. #relatable

[@DocDrowsy]

I too have no weaknesses, wow so relatable!

[@avataraarow]

Alright Jake, where’s the merch? When you make some it better be a backpack, that we can all be people carrying “man carrying thing” things

[@thanvirdiouf]

Hey MCT, Can you please heart this comment to validate my existence? Thanks #RelativityOrSomethingIDK Edit: OMG Thanks everyone for 2K likes

[@Aero3691]

As someone who is so antisocial that I can’t even form parasocial relationships, this was #unrelatable Unsubscribed Then resubscribed because I felt bad.

[@ultr4nima]

Don't forget the secret ingredient of reminding your audience how much you love them, preferably on Twitter

[@sqworm5397]

Damn, parrot social relationships are kinda messed up.

[@Barb0nius]

Parasitic and social in one word, very good word

[@Nobody123]

i vibe with your brand of comedy and the bits of your personality that come through with each video, so I think we’d make great friends, but since we don’t know each other, it’s important to make the distinction that the relationship is merely parasocial.

[@greatestdegamick2077]

Thanks Jake, on my way to become the next KZbin phenomenon!

[@Zappbrannigan83]

Or make a hyper-meta, lampshading video ironically instructing ways to form a parasocial relationship with self-effacing jokes. Pshaw! I'm onto you mister! That's why I only bought 40$ of ur merch.

[@onemanteaparty409]

I only watch youtubers who have the same name as me, so that one day the Council of the Jakes can be formed and become an uncontrollable all powerful conqueror of worlds. Thanks for the videos.

this is some great advice, thanks man carrying thing, I'll get to this right away

I like this video, its relatable because that GameCube reminds me of mine. It looked just like the one i had but one day someone broke into my home at ni.... Wait a second.

[@noutsakh.2135]

Jake is like that 00s cartoon character who has a closet full of the same outfits, only in different colors.

We’ve got the best parasocial relationship. You’ve hearted like three of my comments, you’re like a brother to me.

Today I thought my para-social friend Jake burned his eggs. I was para-wrong.

[@prayingmantis8148]

Honestly I noticed as soon as I watched a few of your videos that you don't share too much (which is good) but I also feel like people are less likely to get parasocial vibes from your videos. Like people will be fans of you, but they won't feel like you're their little computer friend who keeps them company and makes them smile when they're down, because you're not playing the part of the internet friend, you're doing a really good job of being an internet entertainer. It looks like you learnt from people's past mistakes.

This has some serious Brian David Gilbert energy to it. While still remaining all of your energy. What unholy abomination is being spawned!?

#relatable ? I actually don't know but there was a green screen.

[@seraaron]

why would a child own a gamecube?

[@jiyama]

the key is too be so self-aware enough you lose who you really are. establish a persona that has 21st century humor and you need to be on trend at all times. kids back then are easier to pull in comapred today with internet at their fingertips as early as age 4. wait for them to grow up and get tired of you before you switch up content

[@agent0422]
