"She's my rock but like I'm not just a guy who like sits on a rock" Yeah man I get this

I lost my shit when Danny entered the chat and was about 6 years old.

“Caleb is like not me” is the most Caleb shit ever Caleb’d

the best part of this is that all of his best moments with his ex are in fast food restaurants.

Essentially, you did the best you could do in such a bummer situation and shit.

Tbh "That's just how it is, and that's why it's over" is equal parts pimp and poetic. Rahul really did come in clutch

“I can be a bit anecdotal” killed me man😂

Heartbreaking. I dropped my clam watching this.

"You know, you and I have been friends since we were kids." Are we just going to let that one pass by us?

I saw when she dropped that clam, hilarious dude. The whole Red Lobster laughed

Yeah, when she starts a conversation with "we gotta talk" ,better drop her before she drops you , know what i mean C.dawg ?

"If you ask Stacy, sometimes I can be a bit anecdotal." Got an actual belly laugh from me.

This is impeccable

Stacy IS the clam, and its good you DROPPEd her!!!! in my opinion

You know when you just write a paragraph on your phone by pressing the suggested words above the keyboard for the shits? Yeah, that’s Rahul’s speech.

All joking aside, this is an exceptionally well made short film. Your performance as Caleb feels totally real and alive. Instead of going for a cheap, exaggerated "dude-bro," you played him as someone that appears very surface-level, but actually has incredible depth. His relationship with Danny, while definitely comedic, also reveals a level of tenderness (that he's so invested in their friendship, even if Danny's still a kid and they spend their time playing CoD; Caleb is portrayed as valuing Danny's advice, and taking a real interest in what he has to say when he talks about playing Zombies). The climax of the video just brings everything together. The subtle shift from reading the letters in a monotone drone to the welling up of his emotion as he remembers just how much he cares about Stacy is touching, and realizing that Stacy had called him to break up herself is heartbreaking. Caleb may not be the smartest guy around--let's be real, he can be kinda stupid, like when he still tried to read the breakup letter to Stacy even after he'd started to realize how much he cares about her--but deep down, he's got a good heart. If I'm being totally honest, the world could do with more Calebs.

POV: This is actually how Joel is and he just recorded a real vlog. And his name was never really joel.

Wow, I really thought you and Stacy were gonna be forever. I'm here for you and Stacy, if she needs anything. That said, I had to dislike the vid, I don't watch your vids for all these words. If I wanted to read, I would, you know, do book. - Steve

I enjoyed this as a woman, and as a person

I’m honestly terrified that it took me 4 minutes before I could tell if this was real or not

"not necessarily true or reliable. i think that defines me very well" lmaooo

The deadpan, "We've been friends since we were kids" destroyed me! Thanks for all the laughs.

"I will write anything better you want" Press "x" to doubt.

"not too bad with words after all" is bound to become a meme one day

"She - like, she's my rock, but like I'm not just a guy who like, sits on a rock." Kyle Mooney could not have delivered this line better. Just keep doing your thing, dude. You got it locked in. Oh, yeah, and the pooped-pants story sounded totally anecdotal

Holy shit that ringtone is the most anxiety-inducing thing. Perfect.

damn him suppressing crying makes me feel bad. I used to do that. fucked me up

the over use of "essentially" is * chefs kiss *

This is so realistic.... but as Ethan said so much more. Dude you are so incredible. As a writer/director... and even an actor. You deserve so much. You’re starting to blow up now- and I can only hope you explode more than expected.

I've never seen you nail a character so well

Don't worry man, you'll find someone better. I hear Stacy's mom's got it going on ;)

10:07 “you are astonishing and your smile is contagious but now you become very annoying to me.” LMAO, I will use this next time I break up with someone.

He was so stressed out about his gf, he actually put an alarm ringtone for her contact

Watching this guy's character diversity and topic diversity is impressive. Even the sketches I'm not particularly interested in still impress me

"I'm gonna break up with her" *convo doesn't go the way he wanted "we can make this work right?"

I think my favorite thing about Joel is how he keeps the joke going through the comments. I don't normally comment on videos, but I will just on the off-chance of continuing the Haver lore.

Caleb- wants to break up with her Also caleb- we can make this work right?

I didn’t know to to reply to this so I asked Fiverr to write a response for me. I hope this helps Caleb through these wack times, yo: “Thank you for your enquiry. My profile details my prices, which ranges from $5 for a simple piece up to $500 for a novella. Please review this and contact me when you have decided which pricing best suits your needs.”

“I want the $21 back because that’s a lot of money to me.” Wow that was relatable.

This dude doesn't look like someone who wouldn't bear that weed.

the stumbling over text is such a perfect detail. it also drives me mad.

that second one honestly sounded good

Took me a while to realize this was fake which made it really funny. But it's kind of emotional as well.

If I didn’t know you, I would totally think this was a legit thing😂😁 keep it up buddy!

This put such a smile on my face, going through such a trash moment in my life but you put a smile on it with every video. You rock man :)

That ambeedextrious part made me laugh too hard

Super considerate that you actually paid to have this written. You wanted it to be special and genuine. It doesn’t matter if it wasn’t straight from you, it’s the thought that counts. This channel is great dude.

"I actually only work like twice a week at Rite Aid, and that essentially just pays for like.. like my fast food and my uh Xbox live." *So just the essentials, basically.*

is it just me or is this actually an incredible performance?

"I'm essentially, like, pissed that my parents named me Caleb. It's just, like, not me." Dude I totally feel you

Honestly I can't tell if this is a skit or not.. either way beautifully done, mad chill and funny

That was heartbreaking and shit. Dope, though.

Jeez I love when he panicked and just started reading the last thing :D So well played, I feel kinda bad for Caleb and shit

When even a kid is a better actor than me, this tells me that you have the secret to believable acting and aren‘t afraid to share it. Awesome Job

"Well if you ask Stacy she'd say sometimes I... I can be a bit anecdotal." That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a UKposts video. Caleb is definitely one of my favorite characters of yours.

"Stacy, can't you see? You're just Not the girl for me." If it helps you may sing it to her.

He’s so good at portraying real life and immersing you within the work. You are seriously talented Joel.

This reminds me of the time an associate asked me to proofread a note he wrote to a girl he liked. It read like a 2nd grader wrote it...I felt so bad for him

My heart aches for this boy. I bet C. Comes from a broken family, his dad left the family, and the mother is this unavailable narcissist who the only times she has an interaction with her son, it's to take out all the anger she has inside on him. Most of the time she doesn't even talk to her son. She doesn't notice he's there. She's too concerned with herself, and her abusive boyfriend. Omg C. I love you. I feel your pain.

That was amazing. Not even slightly surprised. This channel. Goddamn. Caleb is so sweet, and so shitty, and so sad. He just, doesn't really understand what's going on, but he's really trying. Damn.

A wise man once said "like"

Bro good thing you had that speech prepared, totally put stacy in her place. Great job man

holy fuck dude your acting is amazing holy shit, the staging is insanely perfect improvisation for the character youre playing, good stuff man it’s awesome

"Hope I get my 21 bucks back, that's a lot to me" It's really sad that I know many people like this.

I wonder if Raahul is actually a decent writer in his first language and assumes it translates, or if he’s just always completely unintelligible.

Jesus man, the amount of drive and creativity it takes to put out content like this is astounding. Thanks for making these short films and i hope you are always enjoying the work you put into them. Have a great new years, cheers.

IDK, eating straight up catsup at Hardee's sounds like a keeper to me.

I wasn't sure how to feel about C. at first, but the way he sincerely thanked Danny and then continued listening to him talk about playing Zombies even after getting wrecked with the diaper story completely won me over.

You know that c. is deep down a chill and nice guy just by the fact that he didn't try to pay those writers in "exposure"

Everything on this channel is so well done and its criminal how little attention it gets.

That proof reading and spelling correction was the most relatable thing I've ever seen.

Bro that kid was just as good at being a caleb as he was.

Starting to think my ex used Fiverr to break up with me 😂😂

This guy makes some of the most original videos

This is the equivalent of Classic era Greek theater; The reality of it all has so much gravity. Preserve this man’s work, so that future generations know how to laugh at pain.

Joel, you made a real person with this one. I know a guy who is exactly like this. Bravo.

Bro don't worry u r like so much better off now, and you still have danny that friend ship is so strong bro, not like a wood ship but like an iron one

“I’m pissed at my parents for calling me Caleb, because it’s like not me”

“She’s my rock but I’m not a guy who just sits on a rock” Fucking gold omfg

I’ve just started binging Joel’s videos. And I’m convinced this guy is a comedic genius. feel ecstatic to get in on the ground floor of your comedy career. Keep it up dude

Danny still looks like he did in high school, holy smokes bro…

This is a goddamned masterpiece. You had my complete attention when Stacy called. The way Caleb clung to that script as if it was going to help the situation is comedy genius.

I already knew from the animations and other shorts that you were talented, but just, wow. The emotion and character depth you put into Caleb and the small unspoken, yet obvious, things in here and your delivery of the lines elevated such a seemingly simple skit into something more. You continue to impress me, well done Joel.

"She's like my rock, but I'm not the kind of guy who sits on a rock"

Ah man, forget Stacy. You know who’s really got it going on?

I legit cried rn. Been through a break-up two months ago, the relationship lasted a little over 4 months.. Damn dude. Never thought i could relate to this so much.. F it hurts

I just discovered this channel and it’s some of the most original content I’ve seen in a long time. Super stoked about you guys!

This guy is an actual artist,thank you for being awesome Joel, also I'm a big fan of your feature length films... I think it's way too cool what you do on UKposts.

Man sounds like Stacy took it real rough and shit, she seemed to be in deep denial. I think you did the right thing, no one should have to bear that weed. There will always be more clams to drop.

"I'm pretty sure you needed a diaper" LMAO

Wow. What is this channel. Im so glad i found it. I found the film noir videos first and now im watching the videos that have interesting titles. Love finding unique artists

This is the first video I've seen of yours and I'm honestly blown away by the freshness of it

super good stuff! w.

Straight up. The way you handled it with Stacy was pog man. You'll find a rock you want to sit on for sure.

Every video I see of you and your crew just makes me a bigger and bigger fan. This is a masterpiece.

This was one of the first videos I ever saw by Joel, and I'm pretty sure it helped cement my appreciation for his humor style. The subtext in Caleb's fondness for the mostly-restaurant-centered memories of his girlfriend is so funny by itself, but on top of that you have like three or four layers of other jokes on top of that at all moments of this sketch. There's also this very prevalent sense of realness. Joel doesn't shy away from showing someone corpse mid-line, or say something in an awkward way. Not every line is delivered like in a movie and that brings such a refreshing element to his works. There's so much to appreciate in the subtlety and the genuine nature of Joel's videos. I love it

When you start recounting FIVER I started laughing out loud. This is great.

I haven’t laughed this hard in a while. Caleb trying to come in clutch with Rahul’s speech after Stacy called is what did it for me.

Highly underrated video. Absolutely one of your best.

bro ive been binging your stuff. You are a comedic genius.
