The problem with Ice Guys was it was too watchable. This is the level of embarrassing I've come to expect from modern cable television

This is my favorite reality show just after "Ice Guys". Can't wait for season two.

The way she just LET him play on the wall DIRECTLY after he SPECIFICALLY asked her NOT to let people play on the wall is just HEARTBREAKING URGGHHGGHG

I love the misdirect at the beginning, where you think the show is about their apartment wall, but it’s actually the stone wall.

For the longest time, I had thought that TLC stood for ‘Tender Loving Care’ for the channel. When I found out it stood for ‘The Learning Channel’, I remembered why the Discovery Channel isn’t taken seriously anymore and accepted that it was only a matter of time before Animal Planet would be about robots

Joel has the uncanny ability to look like he's both 15 and 50 at the same time.

I love the initial implication that they "share a wall" between their apartments and then they just never mention that again.

"Do I feel bad? Yes. Was it fun? Yes." I can relate.

The TLC goofy happy orchestra soundtrack is on point!

Really relatable stuff here. I think I speak for everyone when I say we've ALL been in a situation where we've had to give some bad boy spanky spanks to some wall-players.

This has the intelligence and dignity of an actual TLC show. Good job! I hope they pick your idea up.

I read somewhere that the actress who plays Miranda spent 1 minute, 15 seconds and 50 miliseconds to get the phone to show that time for the scene. That's dedication.

This was more educational than anything I've ever seen on TLC, and I'm not even joking.

Joel has persevered for so many years now, I'm glad he finally has his own TLC show, I can't wait for his upcoming spinoff show "Animal Predators".

It's amazing that TLC allowed Joel to just upload their reality TV show episodes like this

Amazing how you captured the mind-melting stupidity of basically all TLC shows. Excellent stuff.

Around 1990, I randomly flipped to The Learning Channel in the middle of raw eye surgery footage. Just a 4:3 tv screen full of an open eye being cut open and... worked on. It scarred 10yr-old me for years. Now instead of blunt trauma, TLC produces a sadder injury to the soul, like someone drove a tap into the mind and is slowly draining it

Just as with Ice Guys, Joel's attention paid to the most minute (and infuriating) trends of reality TV is equally thrilling and haunting.

What's beautiful is that this is the exact cinematography style they use on TLC 😂 Really nailed it, Joel!

There's as much *learning* on "The Learning Channel" as there is history on "The *history* channel".

Joel is one of those creators where you like the video before it even begins.

I didn't learn a thing. Spot on, Joel.

I love Joel Haver's version of bloopers, allows the audience to meta laugh without breaking immersion or premise by just sneaking it in for half a second 3:44 God that's so genius

TLC used to have a show called the operation. Just filmed medical procedures, not shy with getting right in their. It was really interesting, saw 25 or so of them. The one that turned me off was a total knee replacement. The front of the leg just splayed out, the way they moved it around. Its been over 20yrs but It a fairly clear memory.

I'm on the fence about this one

Those shorts automatically make you 60 with horrible dad jokes. I like them.

That moment around 3:40 where Joel almost screamed himself out of character but then pulled it back together with a quick head-shake.

The fact that Joel is able to dress exactly like my dad is terrifying. Like I'm not even joking my dad has worn the very same outfit as this video even the blue socks wtf

I've never seen TLC but I'm sure you really captured the essence of it

when I saw those dark glasses and five o' clock shadow I knew right away: _Ben gets what Ben wants_

I love how her acting at 3:45 made Joel crack up.

It's only a knee-high wall. You might stand a chance crossing that bad boy. Now if it were chest high? No way.

Joel's character break is the hardest I've laughed in a while

I always wondered if there was a rock out there that perfectly fit Joel Haver's crevasse. Now I know that there is. I really did learn something today.

Joel always kills these but I just want to say how well I think Mitsy did in this! She was perfection in this vid 👏

The editing is incredible. Indistinguishable from the average TLC show lmao

I can't believe that he actually played on the wall! It's a very well-known fact that no one gets to play on the wall no matter who they are! I have to say Charlie handled this whole thing nicely and I'm so proud of him for being able to control his anger. I wouldn't have been able to be this calm if someone played on the wall in front of me. PS I'm always happy to learn more about the wall, that fun fact that Charlie mentioned at the end was facinating! I'll definitely keep it in mind. Thank you for everything Charlie.

These are the kinds of silly laughs I need right now. Thank you for you, Joel and friends

Can't wait to see this re-done on Saturday Night Live in a few weeks

Why is this so perfect????

I learned more about the wall from this video than I did in school

Joel put's out a better and more convincing show then TLC ever could

I can't frigging believe she let that guy play on the wall. I'm literally shaking and crying rn and no I will not be okay. Those spanky-spanks were well deserved.

Wow/ they’re really committed to the bit. They built a wall out of contractors stone. Really expensive. Not sure if Joel will get a return on this- but looks nice. You need to make this a series… to get the most of your money.

That "A little odd" at 0:45 was literally so perfect, 😂

holy shit this is a literal TLC episode

Replayed that last ass slap at quarter speed frame by frame. slap by slap. 4:30 Where’s MoistCritikal Charles for the professional analysis?

Growing up for years of my mom watching TLC and HGTV, the personalites are absolutely perfect!

Thanks for telling my story Joel. Your roundhouse spanky spank was true to how it really happened. Ben will never play on that wall again if he knows what’s good for him!

It's very motivating how you montage the clips to give the viewer an impression that it's something they could try too. Thank you for keeping me inspired.

I can’t believe he would play on the wall after she said no

the way he walks into frame still holding the phone to his ear is top tier comedy

i was hoping to see arms crossed and eyes rolling in an expression of playfully surrendered frustration and this video delivered

Joel’s spoofs of reality shows are my favorite videos! They editing style, music, and sound effects are always spot on

What an episode. I knew as soon as I saw Ben coming up the street looking so greedily at the wall, he had me yeling yelling, i'm talking straight SHOUTING at the TV "Don't do it Ben, you'll get bad boy spanky spanks!"

If they didn't want anyone to play on the wall, they should have built a chest-high wall.

I really thought I was watching The Learning Channel. The background music and cymbal swells had me convinced!

TLC takes a relaxed approach to learning that I find highly effective.

only thing it was missing was recapping everything that happened so far before commercial then reminding us again of those exact same things after the commercial break

Omg the editing captured a real tlc show so perfectly

I woulda taken ten bad boy spanky spanks just to get another 30 seconds on that wall.

I’ve learned so much. I can’t believe it. Miranda and Charlie really came through!

Thank you for teaching me the TLC channel is not the "tender love and care" channel...but we could all use a bit of that right now

that 720 spinning spank reminded me of tim and eric so much. im glad you guys can use all these clips most people wouldn't. took alot of guts. great job!

Nothing better than waking up to a Joel video :) also can’t tell if this is a euphemism or if they’re just really into this wall lol

This is the best interdimensional cable show ever.

You're able to make the most abstract concepts funny and engaging. Awesome video man.

I love the energy you bring to your projects

First Joel came for the History Channel, then Joel came for the History Channel again! Now he's coming for TLC. Are no cable channels sacred? I can't wait for Joel's take on The Food Network.

dude these videos always brighten my day please keep making them

Can't help but feel like the wall is an allegory for something. I don't know what, but it's probably there if you squint hard enough.

I love how he angrily explains "Hey, the store was closed!" as the first thing when he comes back, so we aren't left wondering why he showed up early.

These parodies you do of reality tv are amazing! Everyone did a great job on this video!

It is a nice wall. I brought my hot wheels cars and played on it for a whole 2 minutes once. It felt really good.

I watched this video while eating my medicine i don't like to eat and this video was playing while i was eating it, thanks joel

Like a lot of people I found you through your animations but ive stayed for the live skits they are so awesome and ones like this you cant tell the difference between the parody and the real deal. Keep up the great work dude.

This taps into that primal part of human nature where if someone tells you you can't do something, you just really want to do it. That wall does look pretty fun to play on though.

I can imagine Joel walking by this wall one day and having the idea pop up in his mind for a sketch and starting writing it. 😂

2160p wow i rarely see a video with such high quality. You step it up every time

Y'all are too good at recreating the feel/tone of these kinds of shows.

The most amazing pov video, the pov in question is actually my pov looking at the screen.

I'm going to lie awake tonight wondering how they made this so damned funny. I can just feel it. Joel and Co can squeeze the funny out of anything!

Hey miranda, Ben coerced you into letting him play on the wall. It's not your fault, don't beat yourself up

The audio was so on point in this video, well done!

Well done as always. Would love to see more Mitsy and Dax

I love how TLC "find" all villians and hereos of the story whetever they are and film them all :)

really enjoyed the twist at the beginning with the walls in the bedroom vs The Wall

Love this so much, you guys have a beautiful sense of humor ❤️

This is surreal, honestly halfway through my brain got confused and thought I was watching an actual TLC show for a moment.

the wall is such a well developed character

Love that you include the character breaks at the end makes me big smile

The way your videos are so unpredictable I love it

Oh no! Miranda gave in to Peer Pressure! 😭

Joel needs his own Adult Swim show

This concept is so fantastic. It could easily have 27 seasons

The pettiness of "playing on the wall" is such a great choice to lampshade the silliness of all that drama.

Hey Joel, Love your videos man! This one killed me! Also, I'm a cinematographer and I think (might be wrong) I recognize that you're shooting on one of the bmpcc6k models. But I'm noticing some issues with the highlight retention in the outdoor scenes, and I might be able to help as that's my main camera! In short, it sounds totally odd, but the best highlight dynamic range for the 6k is at iso 1000 when shooting outdoors. Also, if you're shooting in BRAW, you can click the highlight recovery feature in resolve and get those highlights back. Not that your shorts need it, these could be shot on the original iphone and still be just as funny because you're such an excellent writer! But I'm a nerd so I couldn't help but share my experience! Keep up the gutsplitting comedy man, your channel is an absolute gem!

If I were to rank the crossabilty of this wall, I’d say you might stand a chance.

congrats of crashing my brain with the "sharing the wall" misunderstanding. 10/10 would misunderstand again.

The sound ques are perfect!
