You guessed it, it was me, I watched the video 20,000 times

[@squick1842]

You guessed it, it was me, i made that comment 3 years ago.

[@TeddyBearAssassin]

@@squick1842 That's right. It was me behind the comment, the whole time.

[@huntermartin119]

Man it's been years and I cant stop

[@aceynth7853]

10 months later and i’m still not giving up

[@VILL4IN]

you really want to know who made that comment 7 years ago? It wasn't either one of us. The whole time, it was you.

[@mrzozelowh]

6 years later and this video is one of my all-time favorites. A perfect blend of my two favorite things: absurd humor and video game music.

[@HavanaSyndrome69]

It reminds me of weird creepy wealthy secular jewish new york families who all have kids that play the violin and dress nice and went to private school and shit. This whole video has, like, a hardcore vibe I can't put my finger on haha

[@tomaszarek1]

Would you know where the third ‘grove’ song come from?

[@RobExNihilo]

12 years later and this video is one of my all-time favorites. A perfect blend of my two favorite things: absurd humor and video game music. _Do you comment from the heart?_

[@FlyingOverTr0ut]

The internet was waiting for a video like this.

[@DaveWasley]

They're dressed as Sergei Racmaninov and Bill Evans.

[@Jordankosher]

Dude nice spot! It makes the video so much better knowing that.

[@wickedraiden]

i just heard about bill evans for the first time today and when i was google imaging him i was like OMG IT'S JOSH FADEM FROM SOFT PIANIST lol

[@danteslasher]

Lol definitely saw Bill Evans first time watching this

[@jimmyredd]

Man, I first saw this video over a decade ago, and I still think to myself "I'm really feeling his groove" like once a week.

[@naglma]

Decadence

[@yummyjackalmeat]

I come back to this video every few years. When I first saw it over 10 years ago, I was at the tail end of a music degree. I still have friends from back then and we quote this video to each other. especially the, "I'm really feeling this grove." and "Do you play from the heart?" So much about this video is odd, but perfect.

[@musoforlyf]

Do you play from the heart?

[@bluesman6891]

I'm modest. lol

[@basketcase36]

I started taking piano lessons because of this video.

[@hejmine]

You guessed it. It was actually me taking them this whole time!

[@bluesman6891]

hejmine That's right. It was me commenting this, the whole time!

[@Stephen-uz8dm]

Oh you make dope beats?

[@richardatwood3623]

Let me get a slurpy right quick.

[@Foreignstar]

lmao why do I feel like I'm watching american psycho?!

[@xtrakewlguy666]

American psycho was watching you this whole time.

[@sigilvii]

0:03 First song in that video is from Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5WYapuHe9x0bLMm18s 1:08 Second song is from Sonic the Hedgehog, the Marble Zone. Sonic 1 Music: Marble Zone 2:35 Third one is Metroid, Kraid's Lair. Metroid Music - Kraid's Lair Anyone know what the "feeling this groove" and the fourth song is? Or is it an original composition?

[@squick1842]

1. Zelda 2. Sonic 3. Billy Joel's My Life on piano 4. Metroid 5. ......???

[@DestroyerofBubbles]

I knew that and I havent even played Zelda

[@NEVOCITY]

Charles Coslor save

[@djdocstrange]

squick1842 the 3rd song doesnt sound like my life from billy joel. Similar but not it exactly. I wonder if its a different one

[@djdocstrange]

@@squick1842 #3 is definitely not Billy Joel's song. Some similar parts but the melody is very different. Case in point: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpOoaap4iKytmck listen to that and relisten and you'll see its not that.

[@theillesttruth]

This is seriously one of my favourite videos. People just don't get it. I think it's extremely clever and fun.

[@md-nv4rg]

Could you explain it?

[@squick1842]

You guessed it, it was explained, the whole time.

[@Gabja]

13 years later and this is still the real me.

[@lemon_key]

yup you guessed it. It was actually me watching the video, the whole time.

[@BlikeNave]

1:57 C7, F-, Bb7, Cmaj7. I'm really feeling this groove.

[@timbeckman1134]

Every time I rewatch this I have to take a bottom half shower

[@skmanga]

that marble zone interpretation still gets me >___

[@NathansArcade]

Sonic!

[@BenWillock]

And Metroid... and I think Zelda

[@ct-yl8742]

the hedgehog

[@lustreboy]

the "I'd like that" was perfect

[@ZeranZeran]

Deb from Napoleon Dynamite ♥

[@nomadben]

The more I watch this, the better it gets. Watching this feels like an old friend picks you up and floats you through town on a pillow, in a dream.

[@hz3917]

I modestly watched this from the heart the whole time.

[@WolfenBluestone]

I'm too high for this...

[@MurphysSlaw992]

This is one of those one o' clock in the morning KZbin delights. Thank you.

[@beatpriest4314]

waiting for another 10 years for this to blow up...

[@guitarnkeys831]

This is my favorite video

[@bensusser5786]

this was really my comment the whole time

[@J.Fog1986]

Seriously Brent, what song are you playing at 1:55??? I cannot find one single commenter who knows the answer.

[@martinhisson9885]

I cherish this video. Have spent many an inebriated evening with friends watching this one. Always gets the whole room laughing

[@Drugvision0]

why does this remind me of The End of Evangelion?

[@rfrakctured]

Would you like to become one with me, Nihism?

[@brandon9506]

"this is the real me"

[@nomadben]

Brent, just coming back to tell you that this is one of my favorite videos of all time, and I truly mean that.

[@jakeflanders2635]

Couldn't agree more

[@TheFritzcarraldo]

it's as classic as that piano

[@bigboiroy1284]

10 years and still a classic

[@MobBossBobRoss]

Does anyone recognize the song at 1:57?

[@djdocstrange]

SnappyK9 im dying to know as well but so far no answer. Its not billy joel my life thats for sure

[@tamaleseason]

fuck i loved all the video game references 1st song Triforce Chamber- zelda a link to the past 2nd song marble zone - sonic 1 3rd song ??? 4th song metroid

[@tamaleseason]

cool thanks!

[@Night_Goat]

I've been watching this on an almost monthly basis since it came out, and I only just now realised that the title is a dick joke.

[@HowYouuuDoinnn]

Josh Fadem is in Better Call Saul!!

[@bluesman6891]

That's right. It was me making commentary about this video... the whole time.

[@ericmsandoval]

It took me 4 years to discover this video and it's the best thing I've ever seen in my life.

[@zak87]

MARBLE ZONE SONIC 1!!! 1:19

[@ozmarichardson6524]

this is my favorite thing. I have so much appreciation for this piece. I have to scream laugh every time.

[@illmaticy]

I have no idea wtf I just watched, but I loved it. I loved it a lot.

[@yummyjackalmeat]

This may be the best video I have seen in a while. Thank you so much!

[@finbeard]

it's the Triforce Chamber theme from The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past.

[@keyframedstudios1221]

This is such a classic, so many layers. So beautiful. Nice fake out

[@DoomTrooperTV]

This video is honestly a big part of my life.

[@DoomTrooperTV]

What this video lacks in "views" and "likes" it makes up for 100 fold with the heartfelt and honest comments, still going after TWELVE years. I've never seen a video with such consistently adoring contents. No pun intended, you really struck a chord with this one, my Nickel.

[@kanedeck8562]

Song @2:39 is Metroid: Kraid's Theme, I'm pretty sure.

[@BeneeUK]

video still cracks me up after a decade :D

[@OneWordWesley]

This was so perfect in every way

[@ozmarichardson6524]

This is the best video ON KZbin. If you know what I mean. Lezgo

[@cvbabc]

I just wanna say that 72,508 views is a travesty of the highest order. It's difficult to write comedy that's both funny and timeless.

[@WolfnWool]

low key got chills from this.

[@notgedd]

That's right. It was the real Bill Evans the whole time.

[@joshuadilan3832]

Is this the plot of MGSV

[@vandalpir9]

Hahahaha I'm dead

[@juancruz5970]

This video is 3 years old. It still makes me laugh so hard I cry.. the whole time.

[@starskyguitarman]

Now it's 13 years old. Do you still laugh and cry buddy?

[@UzumakiheroGaming]

Whole time I'm watching BCS, I'm like "I deff know that actor" and lo and behold, it's him

[@nills2099]

Are you talking about better call Saul?

[@GnosticInformant]

i shit myself when I heard sonic music

[@mrjanemba]

All these years of video game music love and I've never seen Brent at MAGFest. What a travesty

[@JoseHiggor]

I didn't know Mr. Bean could play piano

[@SimMaster]

American Psycho meets Tim and Eric

[@catversus6777]

How many plot twists would you like to have in a video? BrentWeinbach: yes

[@SeoulDrifttt]

It's been nearly 11 years, and I still want to know what song is at 1:55. Who knows, it may not be a song; it might be an improvised play from Brent.

[@mooseg12]

Pretty sure it's an arrangement of the disco theme from SMT 2

[@SeoulDrifttt]

@@mooseg12 I gave it a listen, and I can really hear the similarities. Much more so than "My Life" that everyone initially thought it was. Also, given that Brent plays retro video game music on the piano, I wouldn't put it past him to take from other games like SMT2.

[@ArtistthiccArttwerks]

He was pogging before pogging existed 4:04

[@oui2611]

didnt expect the greatest rendition of the triforce chamber to come from a brent weinbach video

[@yddash114]

glad to see that the film student from better call saul is now a professional pianist

[@jakeflanders2635]

You guessed it. Its 2020 and I'm back here trying to get a little peace of mind again.

[@DJPaulFreeman]

It was me commenting the whole time

[@knowingwhatthebuttondoes3432]

Whoa-ho!!! Realy, really nice fake out... Seriously.

[@BEETSEEKA]

Making my annual migration to hear these classic jams!!

[@undergroundindy]

This was amazing, I can't believe I just found it! Thanks Brent and Josh :D

[@OneWordWesley]

+undergroundindy it's so good! I watch it like once a week ever since I found it

[@geraldevan6628]

1:53 danm...That made me act up...

[@giobikefans]

The editing in this video is amazing, bravo

[@stevenkerr5200]

this is really great. the glasses guy is like Michael, Michael, and David together like Voltron.

[@JedidiahProductions]

This is weird yet brilliant! Gets crazy at the end lol

[@ElliotPotts]

Josh Fadem was in Better Call Saul, right?

[@Aron-yp3nq]

Okay thank you for recommending this to me... but it’s 2019

[@BaltiSean]

I can't stop watching this. We need a part 2!

[@kathyhata10]

Hahaha!!! First time seeing this video!!! You so funny-wunnyyyy!!! 💗 🇵🇭🙏💗

[@CameronShimmin]

@thejoker101Deathtrap The grey sleeves are part of the joke. Brent and josh trick the audience on so many different levels in this movie, and the grey sleeves is just to add to the confusion.

[@GunnarMcGriff]

This is brilliant. You two are the next big thing. I can feel the enjoyment.

[@jizquierdo89]

A true masterpiece.

[@donlitos]

What Brent never realized is his comedy flies over the head of 99% of people which only later get the subtle brilliant punchline, if ever. Not the best formula for making money or being successful and famous, but it is comedic performance art in my opinion. Pure snobbery at its best!

[@jadenvillalobos9616]

Where am I? Who am I?! W-W-What is this? Y-Y-KZbin? That’s what they call this? It’s all a sick game, huh?! Think you can lie to me, tell me this was my choice! I didn’t choose this, you did! The whole time, you allowed me to believe I pulled my own strings of destiny, when this was a cake baked nine years ahead of time.

[@naglma]

I love the soft pianist. My family. My brother Paul doesn't understand reality. Money is not love!

[@nintalev]

Song at 01:56 pls

[@Spacestarkid]

@thejoker101Deathtrap Sorry for the comment. Sometimes i just let myself go. In gennerally there is a very nasty tone on youtube, and i really don't want to be a part of that. So again... sorry.

[@georgeberry1959]

Jazzy McLane It's Marble Zone from Sonic 1. Sonic 1 Music: Marble Zone

[@dengueberries]

fhis is phenomenal. absolutely genius. the editing , the writing, phenomenal

[@djdocstrange]

What is the 3rd track being played?? at the 2:00 mark. Sounds so familiar.

[@nebojsadurmanovic2268]

The guy with the glasses looks like he could operate a camera really well. Especially if it's a DIY commercial for a scummy lawyer.

[@seanbremner9993]

Just realized there's quite a few video game songs on here after I rewatched it. Zelda was the first one. Link to the Past?

[@randomcitizen19]

Shout outs to Brent, big ups to Josh, props to Ryan. 10/10.

[@imbi9580]

Ok im convinced im buying it. Where’s the perfume?

[@jaypicness]

hol up.... could this guy be... jordan schlansky?

[@lordofsin1350]

you did this 5 year's ago and people are still coming back to it..... shit you should learn from what works and what dose't

[@lkbl]

@beazyhater Legend Of Zelda A Link To The Past - Triforce Chamber

[@DoctorRevers]

Back after 12 years. Yup still fing amazing

[@ComedicPause]

2:13

[@RajTamil]

first song sounds similar to Title Theme/Sarias song by badbadnotgood

[@beazyhater]

What is the song that Brent Weinbach is playing at the beginning of the video? Anyone know?

[@rjeffrey743]

What's the song around the 2:00 mark, the one Josh is playing when his hair's going nuts?

[@launderground]

played at his recent ucb showcase and couldn't wait to see it online. fantastic.

[@tomaszarek1]

Does any one have piano notes to play that tune from 1.57 . So addictive :)

[@Qrayon]

This reminds me of when I was in a room and someone was playing the piano, and then someone else played it. This video has a surprise ending. I wouldn't have guessed!
