Dax has perfected the awkwardly confident character and it's so unique and fun.

It's just beautifully crafted comedy. I love it to so much.

Hey Joel, in case you are reading this comment, I just wanted to say that to me your cinematic part of the videos really increased the last sketches with all thoes surrealistic-ish compositions, weird actors placement and not only. But what gives it this top notch is not even the visual part of it, but the fact that it blends with the story so well! Anyways, the reason I even wrote this comment in the first place was because I saw that your recent uploads didnt receive as much views as you would expect it to, and I just wanted to say that its not because the content quality decreased or anything done on your side, really. I think you just need to wait some time for another popularity wave. Keep it up man, you really found a perfect role for Dax in this one.
