It would've been better if it began with the rock falling down the hill, it freezes, and sisyphus just says "yep, thats me, you probably wonder how I got into this situation"

[@syamilkarim2363]

2000's holywood film ahh intro

Drake when he ends up in a precarious situation

[@theshadowking3198]

Yo these replies 😂

[@Eagleleadsmc]

Unironically the best comment ive read in years

[@ChubbyWeen]

One must imagine thetalentlesswriter happy

[@Mroziukz]

The point is that Sisyphus had his life go as he said and the boulder is supposed to teach him that he will not be in control of situations and that life won't always go as planned.

[@totaldan99]

And that struggling is eternal and is your punishment for existing or doing anything

[@petar2868]

love the impractical jokers bit at the start

[@blackpenguiin]

"oh my gods" is the best line😭

[@Sethevator]

I just realized it

[@Scout603]

One must imagine Sisyphus happy

[@user-te5nh3li3f]

Sisyphus is training, he cant die and just does it, untill he is strong enough to beat up zeus

[@miscellaneoussarnian5282]

Keep it up with these Greek Mythology stories!!!!!!! I’d love to see more!!!!! Especially since you’re using Disney’s designs for the Olympians and you get around to doing Heracles/Hercules

[@Random_Human731]

One explanation I’ve heard is that the gods told him that he can’t push the boulder to the top of the mountain so he kept doing it in order to prove them wrong

[@SpyDoTF2]

But he already pushed it one time

[@Random_Human731]

@@SpyDoTF2 Basically, since he can’t push it to the top without it falling back down, he wants to prove he can get it up there with it falling or something along those lines

[@SpyDoTF2]

@@Random_Human731 Why doesn’t Sisyphus hold it?

[@Random_Human731]

@@SpyDoTF2 in the video the rock falls on the opposite side of the mountain but in the actual story it falls towards him since the angle of inclination is so large and he wants to prove he can get it to the other side without it dropping towards him

[@sinz766]

The creativity of TheTalentlessWriter to come up with an interpretation so unhinged at the end 💀💀💀

[@gloomxsq2786]

one must imagine Sisyphus happy..

[@TheTalentlessWriter]

Thank you for the super thanks!! ❤️

[@MattTheBat]

my doctor told me i had sisyphus it was so weird. glad to know it's not just me who is confused here.

[@myphonroboshoes2091]

please do more Greek classics in your animation style, Sisy paddling his little duck boat up the Styx was too good.

[@theknightmare2796]

Greatest storyteller of our generation

[@welonhusk6731]

The Obligatory Ultrakill refrence: "This prison to hold ME?" also neat vid

[@mansourkashwani7084]

I thought the reason he had to keep pushing the rock was due to the fact that if he didnt he would be beat by the harpy sisters.

[@Talentless_Talent-hb7sh]

5:28 You had the opportunity to say “but you are harder” and now I’m sad :(

[@cruisinagain1698]

when i googled it, it specifies he thinks he's better then the gods, and by pushing the rock he thinks its somehow a loophole in itself so he doesnt try anything else either

[@TheTalentlessWriter]

Oh I didn’t see that, but that theory makes way more sense

[@turbulenttaco6921]

Dude the impractical jokers bit/undertaker bit were s+ tier, keep up the amazing content!

[@ShoutyKid4684]

Yo I'd love to see you do some more Greek myth vids, this is hilarious!

[@Mmmm-ds4sm]

I loved when sisyphus said: “It’s just me and the birds!”

[@ElleonL]

omfg, you really made a video about Sisyphus. That's freaking amazing!

[@RamenDenominator]

This was great! I hope this does well and we get more mythology videos.

[@Mythiccate]

This was AMAZING!!! I really enjoyed it so PLEASE do more myths.

[@BugsRCool499]

I didnt really notice it but damn i missed the music, it kinda became a staple to hear it in the background every time you tell longer stories and ot adds to the comedy sometimes

[@MT-wj2sn]

Nice Video man. I love your content so much it breaks my heart that less people see your videos

[@extremeIycoolguy]

if i was Zeus i would’ve been impressed with Sisyphus for being so clever. i'd probably reward him with like cool powers or something. dude cheated death TWICE. i mean once is already impressive but he pulled it off again.

[@somedude3314]

Maybe he’s just bored, so he pushes the rock.

[@TheTalentlessWriter]

One must imagine Sisyphus bored

[@MCTM_]

sisyphus is indomitable human spirit even when what he does is meaningless like every person on earth is sisyphus in there own way of what you do is meaningless and you could give up and quit but he doesnt he has one job and hes going to finish like everyone else on earth you can just give up on youtube and let this channel die but you are your own sisyphus you keep pushing up on youtube and the fight will never be over but if you give up you accepted loss and sisyphus never lets the gods above him win so as you push youtube, as i push on life and as Sisyphus pushes a boulder we dont quit cause that is accepting loss and that indomitable spirit in us wont let us take loss.

[@totaldan99]

Lmao sispyphus struggle is punishment, you heard it here folks, struggling in life for the rest of your life is punishment.

[@MCTM_]

Ifk why I went so deep

[@MrJpFlanFlan]

never knew the full story this is actually really cool

[@soldog8191]

I love your description of this story lol please make more of these , they were interesting and entertaining!

[@BernicePanders]

Dying forever but never allowed to stay dead? Sounds like my existence! 😮‍💨

[@nolives]

One must think Talentless Writer happy.

[@desrochessimon3044]

I've heard that it was very common to marry your relatives in Ancient Greece.

[@MangoPop]

I adore this! Definitely do more of these!

[@Soapromancer]

My thoughts are sisyphus can't die. And he is told that he can't leave or die until he gets the rock to stay at the top. After so long sitting there he doesn't want immortality. Every day he craves death, and the impossibility of it his punishment. Feels more in line with most greek myths than most modern interpretations.

[@amandajohnston6915]

According to some stories, Sisyphus had to push the rock because if he stopped the furies, (3 old ladies with bat wings and whips) would whip him until he started pushing the rock again.

[@Kaaaanapka]

Plrase make historian channel with those animations

[@vaccinalx]

"this underworld... to hold... ME?"

[@mrshmuga9]

Sounds like he’s getting a his… rocks off. …the hill.

[@rippa6114]

"It's like the same thing as prestiging in Call of Duty" just cracked me up, hahaha!! It do feel like that sometimes (ok, most of the time)

[@rockateart9752]

You are deadly underrated

[@willum4629]

[@theshadowking3198]

[@lego_minifig]

2:00 very hypocritical of the gods (particularly Zeus) who were constantly causing shit to go down due to their greed, lust, and incest.

“The talentless Sisyphus”

[@rofhiwaswrld1646]

I feel bad for sisyphus

[@goosedasheen]

That Sisyphus is no Prometheus.

[@lightly2709]

Sisyphus thought he was the monkeyking

[@user-nj7hm4xn6l]

this video should be an the front page of google when you search him. Do arachnid next, really underappreciated myth

[@patrickstar1164]

Bro gives the shattered shackle for one nectar tho. He's a good fella in Hades

[@GooseMcBruce]

why doesn't sisyphus just dig a depression at the top of the hill so the rock has somewhere to sit

[@mia_gemi57]

He married his niece!!!???

[@Pupupwa]

This is Greek mythology which was made when that was normal for kings

[@YurtFerguson]

Love this video, but if you ask me the moral of the story is, when you find loopholes in people who make bad rules they get pissy and make harder rules to spite you.

[@raptorskilltor4554]

Sisyphus is my favorite god of war character

Man I think we forgot to eat your cereal. I am very sorry

[@ConnorOh8]

i hope sisyphus gets over his rock pushing addiction its gonna be hard without the support of r/norock

[@Bugermanchi]

0:43 doesn’t feel too off character of Zeus giving eternal damnation to a guy

[@cristiano4164]

Do Androids dream of electric sheep? Fully investigated.

[@moneyman782]

"A visitor? Hmm… Indeed, I have slept long enough. The kingdom of heaven has long since forgotten my name, and I am EAGER to make them remember. However, the blood of Minos stains your hands, and I must admit… I'm curious about your skills, Weapon. And so, before I tear down the cities and CRUSH the armies of Heaven… You shall do as an appetizer. Come forth, Child of Man… And DIE."
