My camera that I've used for 4 years broke this week, so I had to commission a video from my pen pal Jean-Michel. We will return to our regularly scheduled programming shortly. Thank you for your patience in the meantime.

boycott the bachelor if they dont accept jean-michel

I refuse to believe this skit came about from any other way than Joel saying "somersault" out loud in a French accent and deciding we needed 5 minutes of that (we do)

Man, Joel is so good at accents. He does all of them at the same time.

Jean-Michel Dence went on the become the world's first five-time bachelor. His fourth season broke international viewership records, and "The Dence" became a household name for over a generation.

„I grew up small boy“ sums you up very well. And I love you for it.

loving the "nobody ever uses these" transitions. I am going to start using them in my audition tapes just so casting directors think "WOW. This guy must be inspired by Jean-Michel. I bet he can do a somersault."

With moves like these, who else couldn't believe this guy was a bachelor??

If they actually hired you to play this character on the show then the show might be worth watching.

Listening to the accent oscillate from French to German to Russian to Italian to vague Asian was an absolute treat for the ears

There's something uniquely hilarious about a couple adopting a child only to neglect them.

The commitment to really bad and painful somersaults was just perfection!

This man has just somersaulted into my heart

This is totally convincing; I can imagine this guy is really a bachelor.

This is the content I come to UKposts for. Silliness. Just pure silliness. Thank you, Joel.

They are losing so much not having him on the show.

Joel has perfected that nervous giggle of his

Finally, the Quebecois representation The Bachelor was lacking

Damn, I didnt know Joel did his own stunts.

"the kinetic energy of the salt is realised when you come over yourself. and i love to come over myself." i love that line

100% support Jean-Michel to get into Bachelor. Especially after his somersault.

joel's tailbone is now dust

I like how he's been to an american school since 5th grade but still talks in broken english and doesn't know the word for car

Jean, I sincerely hope you get Bachelor, oh Jean, how you've somersaulted into all our hearts.

The transitions in this should win an Emmy.

3:46 underrated moment. Editing genius 😮. Deserves #1 bitcholer

I really like how quickly the focus shifted from the bachelor to just somersaulting. Another hilarious video

every summersault is a masterpiece in gymnastics

Great work on the submission video dude, really hope you get in!

03:18 the editing for it to pause midway the somersault, then starswipe with Jean-Michel creeping awkwardly forwards is just perfect. I dunno why that made me laugh so much

Truly, this man is the salt of the summer.

3:48 love this transition! Almost like the image does a perfect somersault into the video!

I see he's a dark souls enjoyer

How I imagine Dark Souls fans approach dating.

Holy shit, please Joel, PLEASE do more character pieces. It's brilliant

I am an American in the South of France right now and this is exactly what I see around me. This is not parody. This is reality. XD

"And I love to come over myself." - Joel Haver 2023.

If this man ever taught me to somersault on a date, I'd be head over heels. Then head below heels. Then head over heels once again.

I watched this in 144p, in my opinion, the only way to watch this in order to get the full experience.

My favorite part was the burp that didn't even interrupt his line 😂

This was definitly filmed in the Netherlands I feel. Looks so much like it. Groetjes en geniet van Nederland :)

This has such Jack Haver vibes and I'm all for it

The slow transition and realization of what was going on with the portrait at 3:45 is the greatest editing I’ve ever seen

I just love that you can take such a simple gag and have it fit cozily into a few minute sketch

Joel's French accent is so good it turned me into baguette

I like the idea that aliens will glean our media to learn of humanity and stumble across this video and base their understanding of us off of it. We could be so lucky.

WARNING! If you are at a gym on a treadmill please be careful, because when the line "i love to come over meself" happens you might fly off the treadmill from laughing too much... (as i almost did).

Average Dark Souls enemy origin story

classic joel acting out a french character in finland

This is a worthy prequel to my favourite film Midsommarsault

Jean-Michel has mastered all 4 criteria for the ideal The Bachelor candidate: 1. Do a somersault. 2. See above. 3. See above. 4. See above.

I would absolutely watch a full season of the Bachelor with Joel just being awkward and weird the whole time. That would be amazing!

Therapist: "Show me on this birdhouse where you were touched as a child..." Jean: points at the whole thing.

I feel a strong Kids in the hall vibe here and I like it!

I love how he struggles with saying “do with” but then says “neglected” like it was nothing.

Finally someone who shares my passion for sommersaults, Jean-Michel has already won my heart over 🌹

Genuinely worried about Joel's spine after watching this lol

Breathtaking fx in this one 👏👏

i know people say this all the time nowadays but this video really truly has that old school youtube feel to it, from the abrupt cuts to the premise and the simplicity.. just wonderful. belongs in a time capsule for future generations to experience

There's only 2 or 3 channels that I have notifications on for and that I leave a like and watch the video as soon as I see it. You're one of them.

That edit at 3:47 is so funny. Had me dying

During my time watching this video I felt a feeling in my loins that was, quite frankly, alarming. Someone has to tell Jean-Michel that the Bachelor is a COMPETITION and if he were to submit this video it would be a very uninteresting watch as it would be blatantly obvious who would win.

“The geese are ru- whoa there’s a bear..no, dog”

The editing in this is golden!

This looks so much like europe, the cars, the grass and the colors on the car plates remind me so much of the netherlands, please tell me im not the only one 😢

looking forward to this upcoming season

Watched with a friend, amazing stuff

World class editing on this video!

this man has a passion for something, thats for sure.

the existence of this video implies the existence of a "the bachelor" Domination tape

I love the editing in this so much holy jeepers

This is yet another one of your masterpieces, oh my heavens, Joel.

This was such a wonderful and insightful video into human nature, thanks again for sharing this.

Not many people know this. It's a very little-known historical fact that the Vikings used a special type of warrior that helped them defeat almost all of their opponents in every country they invaded for generations. When the attack happened they had people at the front leading the charge who when approaching the enemy would roll on the ground toward them, which would surprise the enemy and startle them and give them pause long enough for the Vikings to breach their ranks and annihilate them. The Vikings would always assault in the summertime, which is where we get the word somersault from.

Everything about this is great. The transitions, the incorrect dimensions stretching the image, etc. This brings me back. Lower expectations came in briefly

I love this i had a grinn ear to ear throughout the whole thing. Thank you somersault very nice

You get my 🌹

Dang that's brutal, just slamming into the ground each time 😂

This was really cool, the editing was unique too

Fantastic editing, oddly nostalgic of another time

I misread the title as "The Bachelor Submissive Type"... I guess this is pretty good too...

This is one of those videos that I have to be in the mood for. Outta the gate I'm just too uncomfortable lol.

the commitment to never rolling once was amazing

wow! i love editing!

Crazy thing is I’m currently watching a French movie (Le Samourai) while Joel uploaded this video pretending to be a French guy. 😂

ok cant wait for bachelor now if JM is on !!! :)

Thanks, Joel, for bringing this little light into our lives. fun and silly. love it.

The transitions are worth the spot alone!

Keep up the good work

How do you maintain such a bold and sexy attitude, Joel?

The transitions in this video are the pure gold. They are so bad they almost do unnoticed.

Masterpiece

When Jean-Michel gets woman to love, perhaps then he has then friend to somersault with.

Having no positive male role models speaks volumes for his character's mannerisms

Joel Haver is the type of comedian/writer/creator where I just see the title and thumbnail and I'm already laughing lol love your stuff dude you're so so incredibly talented!!!!!

I love your more character-driven stuff like this

So...I just thought for myself if this is the best or the worst video to introduce my friends to your channel...and then the burp happened...and I still don't know...i'm confused...but also happy...love your content, keep it up :)

Wait, is this in Rotterdam, the Netherlands? I feel like I recognise the place, close to Brasserie Woodz? Anyway, great video! if you are indeed in the Netherlands, don’t forget to visit Utrecht (because it’s the best city and I’m not biased because I live there) 🇳🇱✨

Jean-Michel Dence just somersaulted right into our hearts

I can never use the words "summer" or "salt" in the same way again. Thank you for changing my life Jean-Michel.
