The Average Redditor: Origins

[@qwertyrhino9497]

This guy is so good at portraying the most unlikeable characters ever, and then later making them likeable.

Holy fucking shit. When he called out the teacher in class after all the stuff that happened to him earlier I ACTUALLY YELLED. This is a masterpiece.

[@jeremym1985]

I expected this to be pretty good going in, and it was even better than I expected. Super cool to see you doing a long form story, fantastic job!

[@glubtier]

I say this without any irony: for a short film by a guy with only a few people helping him and playing all the roles himself, this is better than most of the Hollywood blockbusters I've seen in the past few years 😭 I know this must have taken a long time to make but I hope we'll see more long-ish content in the future!

This man doesnt need hollywood, hollywood needs him

I'm not lying or exaggerating in any way when I say this is one of the most impressive creations I have ever seen on this website. It is an emotionally gripping tale that adds an accurate level of nuance and depth to a character who originally debuted as a joke while accurately representing the harm that being chronically online can cause. The characters all feel so unique and personalized that it's easy to forget it's the same person playing almost all of them. This channel has always been a shining example of the storytelling capabilities of this platform, and it's been amazing to see it grow and improve. 10/10

Bros making actual movies now💀

I can’t express how much I love what you did with this series. Characters like redditors and band kids tend to twist to become a round about way to make fun of autistic kids, wether people realize it or not. You see it in your comments sometimes. “The lack of eye contact is on point.” As someone with autism, it’s nice to see how you show being autistic or just being excited about knowledge can isolate someone and change their attitude toward the world when all they tend to be is enthusiastic about a specific, niche topic.

The way you portraied the feeling in highschool were you just feel out of place an unwanted, deperate for friends, but your attempts at getting them ends with feeling ashamed of yourself. Actually great short film 10/10

I like how the 2 footballers say "look at you" even tho they are all identical twins

[@lizzyleefree1593]

So he ends up in a thankless office job doing IT instead of becoming a scientist because he literally had to support himself in high school? Which makes his insufferable nature even worse because he's trying to convince everyone he's smart despite not accomplishing what his dad did?? AND he becomes even more of an asshole about it because he's afraid to get close to anyone after he lost his dad and their last conversation was a fight????

Dude finds a cool rock, looks up cool rock forums online, finds a subreddit for it, signs up

[@wuzittooya]

Ewww dude I got major cringe with that teacher smirking after messing with the girl 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

[@amer6706]

This film has me asking so many questions, like about Wyatt's mother. The juxtaposition between Wyatt telling his father off for not being the person he needs to be and then his friend with the father who beat him made me think that probably hit home for Wyatt how his situation could be worse, his father had troubles of his own but he never took it out on Wyatt. With that thought in his head, he comes home and boom, its already too late to make it up. His father is dead. Pure tragedy.

[@nahno7698]

That gravity joke was crazy

[@saninpain]

I'm not gonna lie, often times the pipeline to this behavior is 100% as depicted, you feel weak, bullied, so you in turn become the bully and intellectually torture someone, its not always a teacher, its not always an innocent, but its always a regret. I could've had some good friends and instead chose intellectual superiority, despite the fact I didn't actually care about those people, I just wanted the upper hand. Its sad.

[@copelandammann4815]

As an autistic person myself, I relate to this character’s origin story immensely. Wyatt is simply an autistic person who did not have the proper support.

[@scoutfox1421]

What kills me is by the time there's another chance to connect with Kyle over shared father misery, and by the time he meets an adult who seems to actually give a shit, the doctor, Wyatt has shut down and defaults to blocking them out and insulting them.

[@z.l.burington1183]

The truth is, people never start as slappable jerks.

[@ElephantWhisperer222]

Brian’s origin story would probably bring me to tears. Can’t imagine what that bastards gone through.
