Demetrius stop that

[@rtttrolling3568]

To this day Demetrius has not stopped that

[@NewKy345]

It took me 8 years to realize that Joshua said "two free tickets" when there were three of them wanting the tickets.

[@Jc-587]

It took me today to realize he said 2 tickets when there were three of them wanting the tickets

[@bravetitangrizzly]

wtf

[@darklucario7766]

It took me today to realize that Joshua said “two free tickets” when there were three of them wanting the tickets.

[@MrEbonana]

Guys it literally took me today to realize that Joshua said "two free tickets" when there were three of them wanting tickets.

[@Wanttofanta]

Took me until this very moment to realize that Joshua said "two free tickets" when there were three of them wanting tickets.

[@GarrettWatts]

This is incredible and also why does the quality look better than anything uploaded today in 2021

[@rileystovall3424]

These guys are why my comedy is so damn stunted.

[@Hackzyyz]

@@rileystovall3424 what happened to these guys ? I miss this shit

@@Hackzyyz Olan went on to do comedy, open a soda parlor, and produce a tv show, Thomas is still involved in some of the videos and activities, Im not sure about where Josh went though.

The chaotic energy here was ahead of its time

Is it just me or did anyone else notice how fast his feet are moving

[@RickJaeger]

i couldn't, my eyes were blurring

[@ChaseIron]

Couldn’t keep up, believe me, I tried my best

[@darklucario7766]

What feet? You mean that faint blur under his legs?

[@signifidelica2819]

@@darklucario7766 like sonic the hedgehog

[@nashmarion]

The way Thomas' entire body shakes with controlled rage every time he raises his voice sends me into orbit

[@Legitcar117]

"I..really hate Aerosmith.....but I'm a huge fan of Steven Tyler...."

[@starlight-jy5hd]

[@starlight-jy5hd]

***** yes he is

[@Reg_The_Galah]

I still quote this to people when they ever mention Aerosmith

[@Ares14]

Most people seem to like Olan the most but to be honest Thomas is probably the one who has me laughing more then the other 2 combined. regardless, balloonshop is awesome. hopeful for some reunion videos one day.

[@z7Broshi7z]

Olan has a channel if you didn't already know where he makes sketches he recently also collaborated with Thomas

[@aila6814]

+Ares14 i love me some Thomas Gore.

[@aeipathy_live]

+Ares14 I think they're all wonderful. They're fantastic.

[@CapnAss]

+Ares14 In terms of raw talent, Thomas beats them all. But he doesn't have the drive to make stuff like Olan does, and he's too humble about his talent (doesn't think he's particularly great). None of this would have happened without Olan's initiative. I'm glad they met and that Olan was able to bring Thomas to the internet, because he is downright hilarious!

[@enshk79]

Ares14 Olan annoys TF out of me

[@thermami]

It's scary how close LazyPurple's animation is to the actual thing

[@ChrisTheHero65]

thats why it took him so long, it takes forever just to make a single frame of smooth animation the way lazypurple made it

[@BaconHer0]

[@nikolaidrostdov]

Waittttt what the fuck, I just discovered LazyPurple a few weeks ago and I go back to Balloon Shop for a dose of nostalgia, and you're telling me LP did something about these guys?

[@TheImmediatePastPrez]

​@nikolaidrostdov Yeah he made an SFM of this video and it's crazy accurate. I was a fab of Balloonshop before I was introduced to TF2 and it's so funny when I find crossover content

[@elizabethrose6463]

I love how Thomas can go from utter control to screaming in 0.5 seconds.

[@PuffyOne1898]

He’s so passionate when he does it. Look at the passion in those hips. Look at the passion in those eyes. Look at the thunder in that heart. He’s quite the steed. Look at the rain in those ears. Feel the passion. Feel the music. Never back down. Never quit.

[@chaolut]

hes so passionate when he does it- look at the passion in those hips- look at the passion in those eyes- look at the thunder in that heart- hes quite the steed- look at the rain in those ears- feel the passion- feel the music- never back down- never quit- Greatest words of inspiration ever

[@HelenKellerDenier]

Show these guys some love in 2022 These fine gents definitely my humor growing up. Miss them to this day! Olan Roger's does have his own channel though. Amazing story teller

[@antMANscochiey]

Oh sweet, Olan Rogers. I came here from LazyPurple, but seeing Olan is wicked.

[@josszarnick2393]

Lol, same here

Love the Thomas dance! Classic.

[@MontanaBrock]

Steven is such a talent

[@DrDuckMD]

"Your passion reigns true!"

[@notoriousluffa4928]

Hours spent practicing Thomas's dance all in vain. I will never be able to recreate the thunder in his heart!

[@thejoebotnik]

This video is 10 years old today. Keep that coal churnin'. For Steven.

[@PD-Pro-Go]

Here, in 2017, we can and should learn from this. THIS is how we get girls.

[@thebastardfish8187]

It is no longer 2017.

[@adamp.3045]

your 11 months late dude... but the legend stays true forever

[@MLGCaptainVirgil]

No, this is how we get tickets to see Aerosmith live in concert (at Busch Gardens)

[@HaloLvl43Legit]

The reason Balloonshop stopped making videos was because we were in danger of overpopulation from males emulating their dance moves.

[@peanut983]

Chris Stark that’s why josh had a sex change, less men means less goo shooting. She’s saving humanity!

[@elwoodproductions4675]

"You need to go back to that earlier stuff, man. Don't do that again." This had me laughing for a good minute. Goodness. We need to reunite Balloonshop.

[@simonfeakes]

in years to come, i think that people like rwj and other vbloggers will be completely forgotten. balloonshop, on the other hand, will be remembered for a long time. YOUR PASSION REIGNS TRUE!

[@MarkShockley]

14 years ago, these guys were so far ahead of their time, that they were actually 24 years behind their time. RIP Aerosmith tickets

[@gabetronson7546]

Almost 2018. still a beautiful channel

It's funny to go back and see how many KZbinrs that I follow now, commented on balloonshop videos.

[@TheImpossiBelle]

To think, that at one point in their life, KZbinrs were just like us...

[@mattofthebeans1920]

Me too

[@suspicioustumbleweed1356]

Notice demetrius and the SNES. In fact always pay attention to the background with these, haha.

[@Eneticckk]

Still my favorite KZbin channel

[@Soccershade]

So glad people are still watching them too!

Everyone from LP unfamiliar with Balloon Shop please watch all their videos. At least twice. Then PM me asking for details about my scheme to kidnap them all and force them to reunite on this channel, and how you can be useful in doing so. Get that coal churnin'.

I doubt josh would wanna make videos cause he deleted them and hes a she now

Only 10 more years till you can say todays date is the same distance from when the concert was! I’ll be there, waiting to comment this

[@Deeelon9]

Demitrius stop that!

[@ultraali453]

Love this, BalloonShop was amazing. There was no partner program back then, or else they may have continued this channel further

[@benbird2100]

We'll never know. What we do know, is that they made us laugh back then, and they still make us laugh and smile now.

[@jeremytheoneofdestiny8691]

In fact, part of the reason they disbanded was due to disagreements about how to monetize the channel. Specifically, Josh wanted to say yes to every sponsorship opportunity and sell more merchandise, but Olan wanted to be very protective and judicious about doing deals with anybody.

[@NickTamandua]

"Demetrius stop that!" .....I'm really curious and concerned at the same time. I'm not sure if I want to know what Demetrius was doing or not.

[@MrGoodOmens]

You guys are like the perfect group of friends.

[@iLoveTheZZZZZZ]

I love it still 2021 , babyyyy~ only the brave come back here during covid.

[@NealHXC]

I ALWAYS do Thomas' dance just to make my friends laugh. Works every time.

[@dbyd]

i love olan's scream. haha!! can you get more of josh dancing, the dance that olan and Thomas was freaking out about.

[@criticallyred4844]

I think it's funny how they never quite got the white balance figured out in their videos.

[@tiffanyproductionz]

I love how Thomas dances the exact same in every single video involving dancing...x)

[@91celticfan]

I love it when Thomas says he is much too busy to dance when he's just chillin' on the couch with Demitrius drinkin' a DP! :D

[@sariah77]

"I am so mad right now." We've heard that one before... Also the best parts are Thomas dancing while he's watching the others, and Josh's and Olan's faces while they dance.

[@Momoking57]

It's been almost 2 months of practice and my passion reigns true - I can churn the coal. Come the Pump It Up! Burn It Up! Dance contest, Lo and Behold as I saunter down that hot summer sidewalk and unleash the thunder in my heart that is Thomas's Dance of Passion.

[@Technatura83]

Everyone who's watched this has practiced Thomas' dance at least once. Btw, anyone watching this needs to mute the video and watch their dances while listening to the song "The 7th Element" by Vitas.

[@TheXan151]

The ancient ritual of Thomas' dance is rare and unlearnable or teachable by anyone else.

[@icanclimbanything6384]

Thomas’s smile always brightens my day
