The confidence to delete only SOME characters in a password is mind boggling

the way he's always out of breath to keep up the action even tho he isn't doing anything. so accurate

“My Complete Personal History: All My Secrets in One Place” is a classic

Gotta admire the confidence of someone when, realising there's a robber in their house, to just waltz into the room without a weapon, phone, no clear plan. Just flicks on the light, then mocks them for not knowing the password.

The reveal of “World’s Worst Dog” had me in stitches

I'm so sick of forgetting who's the world's worst dog, great idea with the frame

I can't sit comfortably in a room unless I label every one of my sentimental items

I lost at the "random people don't know them" note under the family picture. All the sticky notes having extra messages that cancel them out was so clever and funny.

That dude is skilled, holding down backspace and hitting it perfectly, amazing directing

When I watched Watchmen, I was very disappointed that the supposed "smartest man in the world" locked all his top-secret data behind a password someone could guess by walking 10 feet to the only shelf in his office.

Bold of you to actually put your password in this video

That password was perfect, but the 1 was honestly the big brain move

I like the idea that one would plan an extremely elaborate and high-stakes heist, just to have it hinge entirely on guessing a password

"You think I'm stupid enough to leave clues to my password around my office?" Continues to list clues around the office about his password. Absolute genius.

Joel, this was one of your best. I laughed the entire video. Just the idea that you have a framed photo of the world's worst dog kills me.

My long deceased wife Password will forever live on in my heart.

Joel is the master of plot twists. Literally actually never see them coming

i like to think he has a photo of the world's worst dog on his desk to remind him of what not to become

The password guessing trope is one of my pet peeves. It’s so ridiculous. This parody was spot on.

It would be so difficult to guess Joel's age at the circus. He could be any age

The "one" at the end was so real.

My favorite part of Joel’s videos are when they break character laughing. You can tell how much fun they’re having every time

I love the completely unnecessary act of putting the flashlight in the mouth so he could use both hands to go through the secrets book, like he couldnt just do that with one hand.

i was REALLY hoping BUSTER was actually just a note saying "NICE TRY BUSTER" 🤣🤣

The breathing is accurate man

Love the production design effort: the Granby map, somehow getting your monitor to have a Windows 2000 look, and best of all, the Complete Personal History book 🤣

im always impressed that these guesses never fumble on case-sensitivity

That's not really my mom. That's a photo... I THREW IT ON THE GROUND

such a smart idea to keep things labelled. very organize!

The dramatic whispering is perfect

Never stop laughing at your own jokes. It makes me feel better when I do it, knowing I'm not alone out there

Having pictures and their names of random people he doesn't know is in itself one of the funniest things I've encountered this week.

Darn, I use that same password. Now I have to change everything.

Rooms with that many clues scattered everywhere are usually ones you don't break INTO, they're ones you try to get out of.

This must be why new passwords require uppercase and special characters 😂

I really did not expect the sketch to go as far as it did. But it subverted my expectations. Good job.

Joel is so good at subverting expectations- when the protagonist filled the password box after finding the first clues I thought surely he'll have to hit enter to try the password because if he finds more clues then us, as the audience, won't get the satisfaction of seeing the password getting any longer and how ridiculous it'd be getting. Then we see the screen and the asterisks overflow over the password prompt screen- I laughed so hard, hilarious and brilliant

A string of words like that actually make a solid password that's easy to remember but hard to brute force guess.

Nice Fort Boyard cameo, especially in a password guessing game.

The way he covers the notes in a way that conceals critical information and how he folded the note about a bad password idea shows he was deliberately trying to catch out a potential intruder, and it’s honestly such a power play

I work in IT people absolutely litter clues to their password, when they don't just write it

3:03 Love the picture of Fort Boyard. I was on that boat a few years ago.

This was wonderful to see! I really like the extra work you put in for the asterisk input field going beyond the text box. Was that just a picture in paint with a text box overlay?

Nobody said it was easy, but no one ever said it would be this hard

photophotophotogiftmap1 is kind of a red herring because it would've only gotten him into the GLP account

Definitely going to add a folded up "Bad password idea" post-it to my monitor

They really nailed the aesthetic and ambience of the lighting and shit.

I love how you couldn't keep it together at the end, you guys are hilarious.

That's actually a really strong password.

This is scarily accurate. Down to the whispering, heavy breathing, and random clues scattered around.

The first time you actually do guess a password correctly is amazing. I "hacked" a coffee shop Linux system because the password was something like coffee

That last addition of '1' at the end was personal

The putting the flashlight in mouth while flipping through a book was too accurate

It's always "password".

“Worlds worst dog” fucking SHATTERED me

If I broke into someone's house to access their computer and just find a bunch of sticky notes with clues about the password, I'd try to get out of there ASAP, because this is either a trap of the office of a madman.

this is such a great video. everyone should comment their passwords below to continue the bit 🤣

I didn't expect anything good on that theme, I feel like internet already done a hundred thousand billion videos on this. But that was really good ! Each twist was unexpected, really funny

Guessing the password cliche in movies/tv has always been a big pet peeve of mine - and it's still being shown

All the cinematic lens flares from the flashlight actually add so much to this, really selling the whole 'movie' vibe that's going on here. Of course the real Haver-heads know that Joes doesn't make movies, he makes FILMS!

Joel is dad, and he's back with milk

See ya guys, on my way to crack Joel's channel now that I know the password photophotophotogiftmap1 Ha, what a fool

Thanks for the upload, Joel & Co

I watched this several videos ago but I kept chuckling at it so I had to come back and say something, this is one of the few channels that keeps me mulling over its jokes long after finishing it. thanks as always for the good stuff, your vids are always a nice lil break in the daily monotony of my regular youtube viewing

Nice video, Joel, and @AntonPatsi! Really liked this one as it was more surprising then what I expected! It only got funnier as it went along! 👍

That had me laughing! "Random people, don't know them" XD

He was already logged in to the desktop

Man, you are absolutely brilliant. Thanks for the laughs, as always.

If only he knew Numerology.

Joel's videos are great examples of a joke going so far beyond the point where it's so long it's not funny anymore, it goes back into being funny.

Thank you! It's always bothered me in shows how easily someone can just "guess" a password and be correct

I didn't see the channel name at first and was completely jarred when I saw Joel pop in. Such a pleasant surprise!

I laughed out loud multiple times at this; incredible video

Thanks, Joel!🎉

This was a delight. Good work

I was just thinking about this the other day. Thank you for doing a sketch about it

To be honest, i'd never guess that password.

I actually did this once. My cousin bought a used computer, but it wasn't reset, so he couldn't get in to use it. I ended up using the profile icon and background to guess it was something like soccerkid21 and it worked. Lol

love the software gore of the password overflowing the box

Fantastic. Good work Joel

I remember reading a book where some teens were trained to be spys. It's been a while since I read it but the hacking part stood out to me. They had fairly realistic sounding hacks from the hacker previously, like... going onto a computer, downloading some tools from his own website, running a program then deleting those tools. Made sense to me as a kid. But... then they had a moment where the spy organization was asked to test a military facilitys security. The guards were made aware of the test and were given the task of protecting some fake documents- they had like- fake guns and such. You know, just a training thing, the guards didn't take it seriously because the people they were up against were a bunch of teens. It was interesting, they broke in, got onto the computer without raising the alarm, then it was the hackers turn. I was into it, and started to guess what he was doing, maybe he'd already hacked in previously to another database and gained the password. They did a cool thing previously where they showed hacking wasn't just about running codes, they also might make a phone call and impersonate someone to get information or get them to do something. I was expecting something like that, basic, grounded, and kinda made sense. ... Hacker started wildly guessing... the password was something like passw0rd. The military lost, the general was furious and didn't know how the kids cracked the computer when they spent billions on security software and safety nets. The hacker dude smirked and informed them that 'passw0rd' was a terrible password and gave them some alternatives. ... I remember rubbing my eyes and audibly tell the book "YOU ASSUMED THE FRIKIN MILITARY USED THAT KINDA PASSWORD ON A SECURE COMPUTER?! SON OF A- WHAT IF YOU WERE WRONG?!?" That was- one of the most frustrating parts of that book. Stuck with me all these years. I remembered dropping that book series because it's writing started to have those kinda holes in it

The Dementia Files

He's got the Logitech MX Keys. The victim is a man of good taste.

this is actually the best password guessing scene in any movie i've seen so far

Yo Joel is back baaabyy

From 2:38 and on Joel stands in front of a picture of Fort Boyard, a military fort later turned into a remote prison along to the French west coast. Later on this fort was used as a decor for a TV show called "Fort Boyard', broadcasted in various European countries & USA where participants had to find keys to unlock a treasure. Coincidence?! Or is Joel a genius? 🗝

This would have been a good ad for a password protection company

This was hilarious ! Thank you Joel

I love it when you leave in the bits of you and your friends laughing, it makes these feel so real and elevates them to an even higher level than I think any other skit has been

Joel I had a tough day today and the delight this video brought to me instantly lifted my mood! It's hilarious, please keep doing what you're doing

When the password runs on longer than the text box 😆

This made me think of that scene in Archer where all the network passwords are "guest"

It was password all along

try password

Cable tech trying to access your gui to recover the password for your ssid that you forgot.

Dude Joel you guys have really made an amazing channel and I love watching your videos! Keep it up bud

Alternate ending: He figures out the password but can't find the files. As he searches the computer for them, the other guy walks in. Other guy: "Whoa, did you just figure out my password? What was it? I locked myself out months ago and have been working exclusively on my second computer since then! I was trying to remind myself what it was by thinking of things I could have put as the password, but could not figure it out!"

You are really a talented hard working man. Like your art

The post it folded on the screen is perfect !! I will do it like that everywhere I work now !!

How did Joel randomly guess my password? Now I gotta change it.
