😂

[@makaylacarpenter9745]

This is so cool, thank you Joey for helping me go vegan, you are an inspiration 😍

[@cerridwenUK]

Joey Carbstrong OMGs 🤣 I am laughing at the prank...but I'm mostly laughing at the fact that I am part of the Doncaster Animal Activist/Anonymous for The Voiceless and I spotted my friends and fellow activists just wondering around lol I so wanted to see you when you were in Sheffield. But sadly I had other things on and couldn't make it. It is because of you and Ed that I am an activist...Thank you Joey x

[@zuellypech2123]

Joey Carbstrong joey thank u for teaching me Ima a vegetarian now working my way up to vegan so tysm😁😊😃🍏🍎🍐🍊🍋🍈🍓🍇🍉🍌🍒🍑🍍🥝🥑🌽🥕🥒🍆🍅🌶🥔🍠🌰🥜🥖🥗🍿🍬🍬AND NO MORE🧀🍳🥚🍗🌭🍔🍤🌯🌮🥙🍟🥘🍣🍱🍦🥛🍨

[@Djfr]

Joey Carbstrong YES!!! LETS SAVE THE ANIMALS CAUSE NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE STARVING CHILDREN

[@ellenjarrard7920]

You can see him holding back his laugh when he says the stupid arguments. 😂

[@rosenethercutt8345]

I did this and it’s really hard to play dumb but this is how people think.

[@ethanmcquat]

Dumb and dumber

[@indigodragon0613]

Nah. I’m calling it. The guy’s vegan and he’s just messing around XD. He hit every stereotypical carnist excuse. It’s too perfect lol.

[@WorldOfARandomVegan]

Julia Crawford Yes, definitely. He went through the list except for the "plants feel pain" excuse.

[@m.g.3913]

Julia Crawford As soon as i saw the title i knew he was vegan. What else could it have been?

[@indigodragon0613]

M.G. Yup. I hesitate saying this, but he even looked vegan XD.

[@jordanlacroix7723]

Plants do have protein but depending on your body protein in plants cannot be broken down like the protein in meat he is right in the sence that cows and an other animals eat grass and hay but that's a cow's diet and a cow can break down proteins in plants easier and mind you if a person can make a vegan lifestyle work I have respect for that cause it's not easy, but its these extremist vegans that don't have facts and dont care that they dont also protestors have been known to shut restaurants down and these extreme vegan dont care that they ruined a lively hood and that all the staff are out of a job

[@XGazudin]

It is actually very easy to adapt a vegan diet. Literally the only hard thing about it is our society's resistance to a vegan lifestyle.

[@slasher298]

"I just wanted to feel your wrath" love it lmao

[@youtuber-lr8ck]

Joey is one with veganism. He could tell that jacket was not leather just by looking at it🤩

[@Alexia-cv7pw]

Who wouldn't though haha real leather seems thicker.

[@MayorBrownn]

@s t r a n g e r I don’t think I could tell tbh

[@MrTrevisco]

I know I can not always tell what is or is not leather.

[@yashrithi8951]

He is amazing

[@davidhenderson5051]

*hahahahahhaahhaha* - _Bloody Brilliant! The ending was gold.....I spat my coffee out all over my keyboard laughing!..... Bring on the Revolution!_

[@TrashCanDan]

This is absolutely amazing!! And this is so powerful, a vegan that is genuinely seeking advice because the internet IS full of contradicting articles and advice. Keep up the good work Joey, you're a hero.

[@Roarshark12]

I've also fantasized about pranking fellow vegans this way, but unless it's something that I feel could teach them in how to better argue, I consider it a waste of time that could have gone into trying to persuade genuine non-vegans to reconsider their ways.

[@coltons9522]

Joey you are an absolute legend. Grass roots activism deconstruction of common rumors about vegan 🌱. Thank you 🙏 We have the Truth!

[@coltons9522]

Donner Party he’s a legend to trillions of minds. Literally trillions of sentient minds that want to live! Who are you? What have you done lately?

[@shelby3536]

I knew it from the beginning! I've always wanted to see this happen! Great video!

[@campsiegrothendieck7857]

I love this. I kept thinking the guy looked like one of us. And he is. Brilliant! And Joey,,,,when I see the clip of you with the music at the end, I always tear up. Thank you for all you do.

[@coltons9522]

The ending was awesome!

[@Cosyforestdreams]

My god you’re sharp Joey, just when I think you might run out of answers....BOOM....you sock it to ‘em!!! Learning so much from you. Anyone who’s able to go to one of his activist talks, GO! You won’t regret it 🙌🏼👍

[@angryvegan7599]

This is to be expected. When you've convinced as many people to go vegan as Joey, a certain percentage of them are likely to prank you :)

[@mirelakdirova9256]

I enjoyed this video so much! I was smiling the whole time expecting him to say he’s actually a vegan

[@jaynesixx2185]

Every meat eaters questions in one video. Fantastic idea.

[@jimmycras599]

Ive thought about doing this before lol. Might just be a wasted opportunity for others to learn about veganism. Idk

[@ranimeRAT]

Do it! Brush up on your public speaking skills then do a test run (preferably with another vegan first)

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Jimmy Carreras it is. He could've just joined in on the activism...

[@jimmycras599]

ASMRyouVEGANyet? Yea thats what i was saying.. but it's not productive to start a fight amongst vegans, its just that this isn't the best thing to do for animals

[@mercedeslivingston8503]

Or if people are watching while walking by then it can still help :)

[@sawnoff0murloc]

@@DrinkingandFlagons nah nah nah nah, you 1 helped joey with his public speaking and the geenral BS replies most people give aaaaaaannnnd 2 you raised awareness of the arguments against veganism and gave an activist the chance to shut them down logically without getting defensive if anything you helped out the vegan movement and gave a bunch of us a laugh at the same time.... good on ya lad

[@michy1of4]

That was awesome 👏🏼 The “prankster” was bias but at the same time his mission was not bias because he threw every possible stereotypical question out there that was answered leaving viewers with no doubt that like it or not, being vegan is the answer!! 🌱💚

[@josamual5901]

awesome, he seamed like a vegan from the start

[@Vegan_4The_Animals]

Yeah he wasn't so aggressively questioning or against it 😁

[@richardwiediger7298]

You've really become a good debater and activist!

[@paolo6336]

my wife and I sat next to Joey's videographer whilst this was happening and I don't know why but he seemed a little shifty, knew something was up haha. Thanks for taking the time to come say hello straight after this Joey, was great to introduce you to your biggest fan, my 7 month old son Bruno :) keep up the good work brother x

[@DreamClean]

Haha, good idea that guy.

[@zenmint]

lol great ending! yeah watching your videos really helped me improve the way I debate too. great video as always. keep it up!

[@MaryMary.247]

That was awesome! I'm learning a lot from you Joey, learning how to keep a calm head when speaking about animal rights and veganism to people who make me want to choke them out. LOL! ✌💚

[@readingsbyladean7574]

Every city in every state around the world needs more Joey Carbstrongs!!!

[@bgtubber]

7:35 I once gave some vegan cheese to a non-vegan friend to try out. He said he would have never guessed it's vegan if he didn't see the label. They guy should just try out another brand or something the same way not all non-vegan food is great tasting.

[@jacobshake]

Did you not watch until the end lol?

[@bgtubber]

I'll admit I didn't, sorry. :D

[@bgtubber]

Haha, ok, ok... I see now. :D

[@reynarobles9869]

What brand did you gave em?

[@angelfiremimosa]

You're amazing joey. Please look after yourself and have a break to recharge when you can, we have your back ✌️

[@debbieharden292]

Brilliant Joey Love you lots Thank you from the Animals

[@imbricecubes5108]

I could hear the dominion trailer in the background 😂

[@robinette8199]

I did too, that song immediately makes my heart breaks now

[@waywardwinchester]

Haha good one, you can tell he is messing around.

[@fatveganliberator]

I love how humbled you were when he came out at the end. You guys are amazing!

[@Jammoh]

Joey seems tired! Maybe you need to have a couple of weeks off mate?

[@SincerelyShireen]

Jammoh I thought that too. This must be very emotionally and physically draining. :(

[@priyamusu9237]

very true

[@nicoaustin5595]

He needs a steak.

[@nicoaustin5595]

+Bob Baboom Chill bro I'm vegan, it was meant to be sarcastic.

[@nicoaustin5595]

SATOR ROTAS Ffs i'm vegan I was being sarcastic.

[@moshfrogs]

This guy is so on point! I personally don't have the guts to go out on the streets and educate the wider public which just makes me respect this guy so much more

[@cbrown4944]

Funny!....how the prankster kept a straight face, I don't know....JOEY you were FANTASTIC as usual...you have such good answers....you handled this so well....so very cute!! Good job man! I'm listening and listening...hoping I can get as good as you with the answers soon!!! Love your work, as well as all the others out there doing the same!!!

[@connaghananthony]

c brown I thought he had a smirk on his face all along 😆

[@Edison.ink88]

Awesome!! Tough questions there but you stuck to the truth. You're an inspiration Joey.

[@RoryPrem]

that man did it before i could. I was gonna do the same thing if i ever saw you. dang

[@alexbennett6515]

I’ve recently turned vegan and your videos on KZbin have cemented my reasons to do so even more. We have no need for meat and dairy anymore, we aren’t hunter gatherers! It seems crazy to me now. When people say it’s not healthy to be vegan they have never tried it, fact. I’ve never felt so awake, clarity is unreal and my sleeping pattern is amazing now when I use to be the worst person ever at waking up. I was always tired and had bad skin. Now I’m up and wide awake at 6am and have so much more energy to disperse. I never was a big animal lover but I already feel like I’m more connected to animals, wildlife and the planet in general. Not being vegan seems madness to me now and I’m still early doors! Thank you Joey.

[@WorldOfARandomVegan]

I loved this!! So awesome.

[@wnterbird2976]

This was so much fun. And it’s nice that he really did get some of the answers he needed.

[@jameskennerley6308]

Seen a couple of "this was a waste of Joey's time" kinda comments. I don't think so. I don't see it as wasting anyone's time. He fed Joey an almost complete checklist of points and arguments commonly brought up against veganism so that Joey could smash them out of the park one by one, all in one video. This is great for two reasons - one, it makes this video sort of a "nearly all anti-vegan arguments dealt with in 15 minutes" compilation. And two - it may dissuade people from using those arguments in future, not only because they have been adequately addressed in the video, but because the fact that this prankster was able to reel off so many of them one after another off the top of his head shows that the arguments are just repetitive, over-used, parroted arguments that we have all heard and seen destroyed a million times, and are just spread around as popular anti-vegan talking points with no basis in actual logical and moral analysis of veganism, animal exploitation, or their effects on others and the environment.

[@alicefaye17]

SHEFFIELD SHEFFIELD SHEFFFIEEEEELDD!!! So glad you came to my home town joey! Gutted I missed you!

[@jaydee8927]

Wow Joey! Just take care and rest well. We and the animals need you to be in good health. Be safe.

[@jacksentoomer]

you've gotten so good bro, so much patience and quick on your feet factually. good on you.. majourly look upto you

[@Geelou]

I think this is great because he asked all the usual questions people have but without having the opposition you can get sometimes.

[@motueka1295]

Holy shit, great job Joey! We really liked you here. Calm, genuinely listening, great answers, not much of the tense rubbing hands lol. Proud of you :) suits you

[@myartprocess6003]

I did get a little suspicious when the jacket he was wearing was synthetic!!!!! Great job to all involved in this prank collaboration!

[@lisacrosby9487]

That was so cool! I loved seeing Joey talk to him and trying to make sense out of the quinoa thing.

[@EmilyRhinier]

Man Joey, you are so good at educating people!! Thank you for all you do for the animals!!!! 😊😍

[@urlocalsapphicjew3049]

YESSS!! I HAVE WANTED SOMEBODY TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO JOEY, SUCH A GOOD IDEA. I WISH I COULD DO THIS ONE DAY. XD

[@APoundSheep]

4 Years later and this is gold!!

[@annaray814]

He had me fooled. I really enjoyed this video clip.

[@ranimeRAT]

I like this because it was still educational. :)

[@chelseathorne4352]

Omg that was amazing on so many levels!

[@priyamusu9237]

The title gives it away, but Joey, you are so adorable :) Love and respect to you

[@ddjura]

I’m always so motivated when ever I watch Joey’s videos, and want to go to local vegan outreach here in Taiwan. But my Chinese is not that good to successfully deliver the message well. But I know I should still try it, and give my best.

[@JordiRacerable]

I love how he keeps a straight face throughout the video lol

[@zazzyv2742]

I do activism alongside this guy, he's defently quite a character! Kudos to you T!

[@hasanal-hussein7079]

The way he presented arguments I knew something was off

[@pawlet]

Priceless ;^)

[@bellaatlantis8888]

We love you guys!! Keep on inspiring people...

[@janegene1723]

Oh, that was fun. :) I was thinking throughout the video... it is too perfect to be true. It turn out to be a discussion between two vegans... :)) Simply perfect.

[@ursusdinesanimalia3550]

It's good to see Joey smiling.

[@uday7633]

The end was so wholesome loved this

[@HeatherHolt]

This is great. We have to deal with so much shit as vegans, so much criticism and seeing so many horrible things in the animal cruelty industry, banging our heads against the wall trying to just get people to see the truth and the hypocrisy of “I hate animal abuse but I eat animals”... so nice to see something funny for a change. Joey you are awesome ❤️🐰🐮🐷🐔🌱💪

[@MsBrutus64]

Omg that prankster... As usual great answers from Joey.

[@carpediem.9]

This was brilliant :) Love your calm approach and explanations to all the questions💛 💚 💙 💜

[@dododans]

He was so smooth with his questions, a non vegan probably wouldn’t react this quick. But he did so well omg. Love the end

[@josephbayliss9464]

You are so great!

[@MsBrutus64]

Oh gosh lol. Actually I found out that quinoa can be grown here in the UK. Waitrose sell organic quinoa from the UK! Thank you for this video Joe. I'll look for the prankster.

[@housevibez8828]

Haha nice! The way he asked the questions maybe gave it away a little bit, i bet Joey could tell that something is wrong or "right" with that guy haha! :)

[@letsgrowveganic3889]

Awesome video Joey. That was awesome!

[@feliciaa8081]

Aw! So amazing. You’re incredible Joey.

[@brendaraus9152]

great video! Love that the whole group of them were vegan, too!

[@zp6594]

“You cheeky bastard” haha 🤣

[@jonjonwp]

Loved that, really well done, that guy was very convincing.

[@FruitflyBat]

Daiya.. omg Daiya cheese!! 😍😍😍🌱🌱

[@Kiyarose3999]

That was lovely, Joe I said something about you that wasn’t v friendly of me, I want to retract and apologise for it. I can’t find what vid I made the comment on now, so i just hope if you see the comment, that you see this one as well. I give the ‘thumbs up’ to all your vids of which I’ve watched many. Anyway all the best bruv, keep up the struggle!. Till every Animal is Liberated!. ✊🏽🌎🌻✌🏽

[@sauceboss38]

Loved it, funny idea, also this video answered a lot of important questions. Keep it up Joey!

[@Tanjusch12]

Great idea of this guy and the best.... Joeys has always an answer :-) i like

[@kendallkreidell7299]

You could just tell that he already knew the answers to most the questions he was asking 😂 This is my favorite video by far.

[@violagirl6132]

It was really great to see you laughing and smiling at the end Joey. You often look as though you can't cope with the weight of responsibility on your shoulders.

[@dn9255]

When I turned vegan I had the same questions and got them answered watching this channel as well

[@china5746]

I honestly just thought about doing this so Joey can post it on his channel and I can get to share it to my friends and family so they can watch me in it and at the same time be educated about veganism!

[@CarlosMCruz-es9tm]

We all have questions, thank you for the answers #GoVegan 👁🙏👁

[@StarcraftSwarm]

I have been thinking of doing this if I ever get stopped by a vegan activist :D Awesome video! :D

[@shannonmccarthy5700]

Amazing!

[@cheezman2141]

Haha that was great! Gonna head to his channel now 👍❤

[@YoutubesucksZA]

what a fantastic ended, i had my assumptions this guy would go vegan, he acknowledged logic. well done guys

[@xuefenyang7926]

Haha 😂😂awesome convo Joey ❤️❤️❤️

[@jacquelinemorrison2656]

This was brilliant well done guys

[@xenithsanguine]

That was good! Who is he? About 2/3rds of the way in I was like, "wait a minute!”🧐

[@pauladam8516]

So basically he was trying to put armour on Superman...

[@Serendipity-gj2me]

That was awesome!

[@gawain8000]

I've always wanted to do this since I started to watch these outreach debating videos - really enjoyed :)

[@vegan4animals498]

Joey, there's a company in the UK called Hodmedods that grow quinoa, just for future reference. ✌🌱

[@robinraadhi2541]

he just looked vegan hahahaha loved this

[@stephadee591]

Hahah this was pretty awesome 👏🏼 loved it

[@allaroundvegan3827]

I've thought about playing devil's advocate with a cube before to see how they respond to the questions loool good job you guys!

[@kathbates3549]

For great cooking on line - down load The Happy Peat two Irish brothers, they do 5 minute meals and are definitely into flavour.

[@83uwb]

Can't lie this is something I've always wanted to do. I'm glad some fellow vegans had the same idea :D
