{YTP} ~ Jenson's Impact

[@Defunctland]

This was really moving. Jenson’s work really impacted my life so to see a true documentary on it is incredible.

"36 people, or about 70 viewers when adjusted for inflation" is such a funny goddamn line, its genius

Financially, we can see how we really Stress a Memes-Teat.

[@birdmantd]

Network TV would be happy with those kinds of ratings today.

[@BigumsMcChungus]

It was literally 1984…

[@Nikolapoleon]

"Captain Violence" ABSOLUTELY sounds like the name of a show directed by children.

[@BulterMarkwad]

The rejection of violence resulted in something far superior. Jenson would title it "the sequel to violence."

[@governor_explosion]

I’m imagining Axe Cop, basically.

[@canaisyoung3601]

One of those cartoons that religious groups and "moms against immoral TV" groups protest against?

[@artoodiitoo]

Our drawings and animations as kids were pretty much "Captain Violence", so I think it´s accurate :D

[@Xbalanque84]

"Sesame Street? More like Stress-A-Me Street." Considering Jim Henson's feelings of being pigeonholed by Sesame Street and the Muppets, this line is actually brilliant.

[@fjLKA]

Being a ninja, it was hard to see him at the time of his death. We may never know the truth.

[@pentelegomenon1175]

He was actually killed by Nelson Mandela, which is why it's called the Mandela effect, because people falsely remember that he was exploded/ swallowed alive.

Kevin from Defunctland is probably going to love this video, lol. I love his sense of humor that he sprinkles in his videos, my favorite being the dripping sarcasm about Disney's crackdown in the 80's on "homosexual fast dancing" in the Videopolis video (yes, their ire was very specific, lol). The part here with the exasperated line of, "Look, I can't think of another way to say this, but a LOT of the Muppets were gay," just fits his humor perfectly 🤣 Hard to find a favorite line but this one took me out: "It was literally showing in 105 million countries and it garnered an audience of 36 people, or about 70 viewers today when adjusted for inflation." 😂😂😂

A show for enbies? Kermit is trans? Statdorf and Waltler and Ert and Bernie are gay? Who would have thought? These Muppets gay! Good for them.... good for them. The sentence mixing here is simple and yet incredibly effective- for in its seeming simplicity lies the true nature of its beauty. Well-edited and phenomenal work all around. This is genuinely one of the funniest videos I've seen in a long time, and I ended laughing so hard I cried... only to begin crying for real once Jenson was swallowed alive. Both heartbreakingly funny and downright heartbreaking, this documentary has a little something for everyone, especially long-time fans of Jenson. Thank you for making this.
