Reacting to my old content (CRINGE WARNING)

What better way to celebrate my comic coming out than to go back over all the old ego content to see how far we've come

Anti-Septiceye and Darkiplier set my fate. It may seem cringy at times but if it wasn’t for those videos I wouldn’t be an actor or currently in my final year of a film degree. That era of videos changed my life forever and I have never been happier. I still visit all these videos to this day as a reminder of where it all started.

I know! I love it when some of the biggest inspirations for our futures are just seemingly little things. I have an absolute, diabolically sweltering hatred for feet, so boom, none of my characters have any, problem solved.

[@theflash691]

Nah Anti and Darkiplier was literally one of the coolest horror dynamics on YT back in the day. Really creative twist they put on two beloved youtubers, and these characters represented "what would happen if these two content creators everyone loves were suddenly replaced by an evil/twisted psychopath alter ego?" The contrast between them is so badass and well thought out and I wish there was a movie about them lol

Respectfully, I don’t think Seán wants to repeat himself. He even said it, in this video, that he’s moving the Ego Lore in a new direction. Hence *I.R.I.S.* the *ALTRVERSE,* and so many other cool revelations he hasn’t shown us yet! If Seán had Trey pepper in the same types of glitchy appearances, I think most people would end up unfairly comparing him to Robin, or Alice (She goes by both names). The whole reason Seán stopped making Ego Content is because he didn’t have enough confidence in himself, viewers were putting way too much pressure on him and he wanted to eventually go further than just retreading the same-old-same-old. Please don’t get me wrong. I’m not shitting on older Ego Content. But what Seán is setting out to do now is move the story forward, not backwards.

Literally the nostalgia I NEEDED

[@MarionettePuppetMaster]

And the nostalgia that we all appreciate!

Ik I was watching og jack then boom this video came back

[@Shadio_Speedruns]

14:55 The look of pure Terror and Cringe

[@skylarcevallos3842]

I remember watching most of these when I was a kid and absolutely loving them, I’m glad to see Sean is proud of most of his work considering it really made my childhood what it was, and I’m excited to see what future projects he has in store for us!

[@viqtrz]

18:40 I LITERALLY NEVER REALIZED HE WAS THERE DUDE OH MY GOD. Honestly, this just shows how stuff like this can surprise years after your first viewing. Small projects like this are made with so much love and detail. Love it. Chase is A-MA-ZING.

[@makobait]

I love how Seán made it so Anti was made from his fears like glitches and being stabbed in the neck. That was a super cool touch and made me like Anti even more!

[@TheRealSuperKirby]

1:01 the lack of neck is killing me

I got so much early inspiration for my own early writing through Jacks egos, so to see how much they've progressed over the years is so nice. Going through this and getting to see Jacks own analysis of it has been awesome!!!!

[@squibshy2212]

I used to be OBSESSED with Chase Brodie. Like that whole cinematic masterpiece was amazing. Like genuinely that was something to this DAY i’ll go back and watch. He was so well written and just, Jack, so more of it! it’s amazing!

As a German: Don't worry about it. If we got upset about every non-German person faking a German accent we'd all be permanently angry. Honestly, I find most of them hilarious and am impressed if they happen to pronounce a randomly thrown in German word correctly, extra-impressed if they get the grammar right (which is rare).

[@royalblanket]

Germans aren't permanently angry?

[@ChioGaru]

@@royalblanket I could play into the stereotype, but I choose not to, because why perpetuate something that isn't true?

[@StarsStillHere]

This just in: The German community has forgiven Jacksepticeye

10:08 Sean is a youtube genius ngl

[@AmyAmore99]

I remember when the pumpkin video came out. You were by far my most watched KZbinr at the time and I was ECSTATIC!!! It was the coolest thing I had ever seen!! I really love the egos and when I saw the comic book came out I preordered it so fast.

[@redsgaming04]

The way 15 year old me is living vicariously through me rn. Seeing all these old videos and your reactions too they now is so fun!! I’m so excited for more ego stuff to come

[@matthewscorner2990]

I never noticed the "Happy Halloween" white board getting smudged! That really was some smooth editing!

[@Kaylazan]

It was cool to see you react to this and cool to hear that a comic book is coming out!

[@rosedoesthings98]

I really really loved the ego stuff and I hope that some of it can come back (if of course you want it to) and looking back and watching all of this with a creators commentary is really really cool.

[@SkyKin]

From alt egos to comic books, grateful to see things worked out for you. Can't wait for the comic books! Hope everyone is doing well, Keep Being Awesome Bro 🍀 😎 👊

[@torisaursky]

The egos are literally the reason I started drawing, they have such a special place in my heart 💚

[@BenM_25]

2:23 - Marvin’s magic store owner watching this

[@marissawalker920]

Thank you creating such amazing characters that we've all grown to love and cherish in this community, it wouldn't be the same without them
