I thought the same. He seems like such a nice guy!

I just couldnt suspend the disbelief.

It made it even more uncomfortable lmao

Unlikeable? He’s unquestionably the hero of this vid

SAME

So was that another freak out bait? Did Trent have a camera on Matt? Hmm

It's even worse, because he knew exactly what was wrong while he was doing that,

@@DrAmazing true ahaha

Character motivation

Real Black Mirror vibes

OMG man, you know what, I can imagine. Worked in Customer Service for 3 weeks and it was painful. People are ready to threaten you, expose you, offend you any chance they get and you're just a CS agent 😭 Here's a pat on the back. Trust me there are a lot of good kind people out there. Hug.

As a current postal worker, I saw my worst fear come alive

Cringe pfp

@@LittlePenguinHouse Sounds like the machines can't take over customer service too soon. If there is one menial task humanity needs to be liberated from, it is that.

Def. For some reason it gave me vibes of that episode where the woman has her memory wiped by an entire town every night so they can psychologically torture her for killing her daughter.

I came here to say this. Definitely black mirror vibes.

definately, this was dark, but possible, thats what made Black Mirror the best horror show. These guys defo got the minds to take these concepts forward (esp. as Black Mirror have sadly stopped, for some reason)

Kafka my nibba

@@TGIFrank It wasn't her daughter; it was a little girl her boyfriend had kidnapped (she helped), and it's strongly implied that he...did things to the kid before murdering her...

Dead ass, my standard Tuesday

Happens to the best of us, my friend

@@Gyooz you're his friend? the one that made the video? omg, I'm such a big fan!

Oh shit, you're Jeremy? The Popeyes employee who shit his pants and freaked out on a customer?

The _Popeye's_ Jeremy?❣? OH. EM. _GEE._ Can I ask you a question? My friends and I were having a debate.... Is your last name real or did you create it for the project?

*starts recording*

Whom

I don't know which is more exhausting cooling: the hating or just figuring out to hate. BTW, I use Google voice dictation utility, and it wanted to capitalize The Hating, like it was some sort of b-list, teen-angst horror movie: _The Hating,_ now in junior high schools - EVERYWHERE.

You've gotta hit those quotas, man. Nothing is more important than hitting your quota.

You can always hate the FedEx guy. FedEx sucks

Yeah, it's Corecore

Somewhere between Truman Show and Black Mirror

at the same time then can provide insight into what a person really is like.

@@Decenium not really. Only dumbasses think that

Considering the moments in the video were especially engineered to make him look bad, omitting the part where the people egg him on and push him to his breaking point, sure. I find a lot of times people lie by omission to make themselves look better, cutting out the preceding bits where they were being a complete bunghole and leaving in a sanitized narrative. Like just the other day when I saw a video of a lady complaining to a Hispanic cashier about the shop she was in playing a Spanish speaking drama, talking about how long her family had been in the area, how he needs to learn English because he's in America. Then when she realizes she's being recorded, she starts recording saying they're discriminating against her and all she wanted was her refund for her food and now they're harassing her. Interestingly, no mention of anything else she said before she started recording. I used to know people who would say things like, "I don't know why they don't want to talk to me." Or "They always give me these dirty looks," or, even better, "I don't like seeing them because they always seem to get bad at me," when the people they're talking about are minorities that they constantly make fun of. Turns out that when you meet an Asian person, most of them don't appreciate an immediate response of "I speak that!" F followed by eye squinting and hoi-hawing. I'm not saying people don't have bad days, but more often than not I've found people just have zero awareness or problem with saying stupid, entitled, and ignorant shit all the time, so when someone finally catches them on camera it wasn't a fluke, it was a matter of time.

@@Decenium Only so much though! It can hide just as much. Defining people by their worst moments with no context, is just about the worst way to try to understand someone. I wish people would just be honest about it and admit that they're a little bit entertained by things that anger them, by watching people be the worst they can be. Watching Karen videos is not a deep endeavor in understanding the nature of people and societies. You can't actually know why someone is freaking out because you don't have the big picture of their life. You can condemn the behavior, but you don't know who that person really is to the people around them or what things outside of that moment drive them, so there's only so much meaning in doing that. And frankly, it doesn't MATTER. It's not of much use to you as a judgement. They will likely forever remain a stranger to you. Again, it's just a catharsis to watch. There's no actual growth for you in watching freakouts, no grand takeaway. And if anything, I think the inherent myopicness of it as a medium for viewing people can easily send you down a dark path of stereotyping and just not thinking critically in assessing things. Stare into that void, it stares back into you, and you start to forget what normal people are actually like. You get a better picture of everyday people from reality TV.

Matt! You made it big time pal I hope this blows up!

Outstanding work, Matt. Are the Shavers distantly related to the Havers?

woah you need to calm down and stop freaking out there buddy

*starts recording secretly, very badly* So this is what you do? You come into comment sections to freak out about corecore videos? I bet you love being in corecore videos huh

Wtf is a corecore video

That's the moment it all became hilarious! So well done.

I didn't even notice the shirt! Thanks!

That's just Trent's shirt - it says "I can't be trusted at Target". He's worn it in a bunch of vids.

@@iIliterati Sure, but it does feel like it was chosen because of how well it suits the scene.

Well, f-k him anyway, right? At least a friendly stranger in the Joel Haver comments section is here to say, "I'm sorry you went through that, and you didn't deserve it," and give you a high five for being you. I hope some day soon, all the people who are sick of seeing people treat other people badly, will reach a critical mass. Here's from one blob in that mass, to another. 😊

I remember when I was 17 I was really messed up in the head (I was coming off antipsychotic meds and having a panic attack) and I was freaking out screaming in the car because my mom was driving me to school and I just kept screaming for something like 20 minutes. My mom pulled up to a red light and the people in the car next to us stared in horror. I'm assuming. I didn't actually look but my mom was like trying to tell them I was okay or something. Jesus christ, I haven't thought about that day in so long but your comment reminded me of it. People in my case weren't bad but shoot, it's awful that someone would laugh at you in that state. It's not like you wanted to be seen like that... yet they were looking. I'm sorry that happened to you, and I hope you got through it okay.

​@@ccl1195 why such a wholesome comment it made me cry thank you blob ❤️

@@LittlePenguinHouse You are welcome friend blob. ❤

One time I was walking to my car from a bank and I was upset about something, I forget what. I was kind of cursing to myself and a little animated. This douchebag in a truck with a Boston accent had his windows down was just like "Look at this frickin guy!" Pointing at me and laughing. He was talking to a younger kid sitting in the front seat, maybe his son. The kid looked embarrassed. Anyway I may or may not have told him I was going to get my pitbull out of my car to bite his balls off.😂fvck people like that man

I would go as far as to say 95% of freak out videos would not go as viral as they do if they had proper context.

Kind of how I feel about any of those kind of videos. What's the context? Why do people feel so justified in villifying or debasing someone else. It's all really messed up. It lacks compassion.

Not only that but even the ones that don't need context, they're people too man. We don't know what was going on in their lives. They might have been having the worst day ever and we just feed off of that miserableness?

"Get out of my f$@%ing car!"

@@sinisterthoughts2896 ok, Devil's advocate here. By the same token, there are many people who go around being a garbage person to every human they meet, generally making everyone's life worse. So I disagree that context would make 95% of these kinds of videos feel different. Unless you want to take the context all the way back to, like, the day they were born, which yeah, I suppose compassion for a crappy life would be nice. The fact that people get no social punishments for being awful to their fellow humans makes these videos appealing. You can't hit people anymore, you can't shame them in the public square. I think we all feel the world has a distinct lack of justice. But not being a Devil's advocate... Enjoying the suffering of others is probably not good for anyone. And will continue to alienate us from one another

Don't get me wrong, the video is very funny and fun as Joel's work always is! I think it's just that as someone who's been recorded irl without permission for the sake of being mocked and laughed at, it brought back some unpleasant memories lol

@@coranbaker6401 i'm just kidding, who the fuck would prefer being executed in any way or form?

My thoughts exactly. She is hilarious. Upvoted for Molly!

The bit where she starts shooting from increasingly weird angles and just casually talking him through it was one of the highlights of the video, hilarious delivery.

Molly is the epitome of heightened reality.

She has a bit on her channel about her boyfriend confronting her about suspicious underwear during an ASMR live stream that lives rent-free in my head on a pretty regular basis
