Something Incredible Happens When You Play The Magnus Archives Backwards

I was fiddling with the audio from MAG 192 for an edit, and I think I might've found something hidden within the static and distortion of Jonah/Elias's chant.
All audio used is from The Magnus Archives by Rusty Quill.

We don't rickroll people anymore, we do this

[@KirstenU40]

This is better than rickrolling by far

[@sourwitch2340]

Now I imagine there being a moment where someone's distorted speech when reversed is just them reciting the entire lyrics of that song..

[@marions.3657]

yeah

[@ivymoths]

somewhere out there, in some alternate reality, the rickroll is what unleashed the apocalypse instead

[@fardareismai4495]

Let's face it: every single person who clicked on this video has lost the right to call Jon dumb for playing into Elias' hand etc. We'd all fall for it

[@chrissypendergrass9613]

I concede that to a certain degree. But, to be fair, *we're* not on the run from a 200 year old omnivoyeuristic mad man or gifted with - albeit not as powerful as after the change - *a supernatural ability to just KNOW stuff*

[@fardareismai4495]

@@chrissypendergrass9613 Well... Who knows? Are you absolutely sure?

[@theonlythinghere9323]

i knew it was gonna be a meme but i cant believe i overlooked hello jon

[@carianawaters6425]

Right?????

[@wade9352]

In that vein, there’s a point in one of the later episodes where Jon and Martin are playing I-Spy and Jon says ‘I spy with my little eye literally everything’. If you listen really closely, you can hear the ceaseless watcher laughing in the background.

[@icefire-no7vm]

Also it might just be me but when Jon kills the not them when he gets to the ceaseless watcher he pauses and I'm fairly certain I can hear a "yes"?

[@koroplays3200]

I thought it was one of the graves.

[@Brumblebee5]

@@koroplays3200 yea it was, it says in the transcript, that’s why they go silent

[@labyinthoiospotnia]

i was caught between thinking it was going to be 'hello jon' or 'big boy man'.

[@redblack9618]

I was prepped for "I'm trying to pipe murder Jurgen Leitner but I'm dummy thicc"

[@dchouinard5513]

i just kept waiting for carmelldansen to come in and it.... never did

[@sourwitch2340]

What I really like about this is that it is BOTH a meme and actually reveals something small about Elias's/Jonah's intent.

[@allystermack2439]

YOU PLAYED ME LIKE A GODDAMN FIDDLE YOU ABSOLUTE MADMAN!

[@rattuskid1931]

Don’t you mean they played you like a cheap whistle

[@Iquey]

Ahhhh I thought it was gonna be the jurgen leitner rant.

[@nikkospelledlikethat8140]

I knew it. I knew it was gonna be this. My brain was actually picking up fake words there though.

[@Ray-hk1zm]

HDJVDVJDHVSKVH- My god, the worst part is that for a second I legit went "woah!! Does it start the monologue??" I'm cursed with all of the dummy and none of the thicc-

[@maebholeary2734]

@@owenshirrell1150 that's respectable.

[@ewaraczkowska7933]

i knew it. i knew and i still watched it, and did it prove me right? was my faith in humanity crushed? did the apocalypse start? Take A Wild Guess!

[@GingerlyBusiness]

Me, watching this: Hmm there's a good chance that this will just turn into the Hello Jon meme. I shouldn't be surprised if that happens. Video: *finishes.* Me: Me: Me: ...>:o

[@happyhaunt6659]

Oh wow what an interesting find. It makes me think of something else interesting in the magnus archives I noticed, in season 1 episode 16 if you reverse the audio at a normal speed it will hello jon apologies for the deception but I found it best not to introduce myself-

[@lidlove123]

>:(

[@charliem.1368]

Suffering. Violence, even.

[@piratehalfdroid7370]

I keep forgetting this video exists and so whenever I see it, I fall for it every damn time

[@hannahmayne4003]

I literally started crying oh my GoD!

[@hannahmayne4003]

Like.... fuck. I'm so mad at myself for falling for this
