"my whole life ive considered myself quite easy to kill" is the most relatable thing ive ever heard

It was really cool of him to make it known to the car that the car didn’t have to do any work that day. It’s like, “Hey car, take a load off, buddy.”

we need a wholesome ghost hunting show from joel where he just befriends them and lifts their spirits

That tiny little attic room is surreal as heck

This was uploaded yesterday. I can vouch for Joel.

one thing is for sure and that is Joel did NOT want to drive into town!!! you can really see it in his eyes and in the way he shook his head and mouthed the word 'no' and motioned no with his hands

I'm not sure if making friends with a terrifying wriggling mound of hands and feet was worth losing your job over.

One of my favorites from you dude. Your laughter at the end is contagious af and was the perfect way to wrap up the the grudgening

You can always find more work, but memories like this last a life time ❤️

“My whole life I’ve considered myself quite easy to kill” is a great line!

"You got a car why not just drive yourself into town? I wanted to figure out the scary thing myself." You must've gotten your master's degree in horror movie writing. You have the writing for characters in horror movies down perfectly.

This is easily the best skit I watched yesterday.

This was by far the friendliest The Grudge out of all the The Grudges

Makes me want to see more stories with horror movies creatures meeting surprisingly chill people who just try to understand and befriend them.

I like how you faded out of the rant about the entity not wanting to kill you and continued with the story. I wish some people in my life had that option.

Joel didn't die in the haunted cottage his work tried to get him murdered by a grudge monster in. They were trying to have him die so they could cash in on his life insurance policy, but he just communicated and helped out a mysterious spirit. That's the kinda guy Joel is. He's a terrible worker, though.

I had almost the same situation with strange noises in the attic in a remote cabin. It turned out to be a dormouse and over the summer I could watch her babies grow up and explore the surrounding area. Most wholesome twist to a scary story.

“My whole life I considered myself quite easy to kill,” busted out laughing. Best line hands down

Wow, from a whole two screenshot video to multiple thousands of screenshots with sound. You really kicked things up with this one, Joel ❤️

It’s seems that communicating with mysterious The Grudge creatures is all that you’re good for.

Joel is timeless you could tell me he was 23 or 57 and I would just go with it

Can't believe this has already been up for a day! Nice work, Joel!

Get in touch with The Grudge, tell him about an exciting new opportunity that's just opened up at your old office, maybe that will give him something to do, give him more meaning in his life. ✋🦶✋

You are so brave for forming an emotional connection with a the grudge

I love the ending of this so much, I hope he keeps his job! I mean he has a good standing in his workplace so his boss should be understanding

Glitchy hand foot entities are complicated creatures, really glad to see Joel making such an effort to make sure the little fella was doing ok.

"A the grudge" really got me me good😆Never change Joel.

How does Joel always manage to make me smile?

These videos where Joel narrates weird occurrences might be my favorites.

This was so pleasant to watch especially as someone who hates horror movies. It was like a fun, silly children's story and a cute, funny ending

I love the setup for a creepy and horror video, but his nonchalance cuts through that and delivers everything so matter of factly

This was the most beautiful "the grudge" encounter

Every time, I wonder how Joel could possibly stay fresh and original with sketch ideas, and every time, Joel blows me away with what he manages to come up with. This was fantastic. What a lovely The Grudge you found, and what a fine form you've mastered in communicating with it!

As a Scot you should have left him a tin of Tennents at the foot of the stairs, If the offering didn't satisfy the spectre at least you'd have had something to mix into your cereal the next morning!

I'm super stoked for Pt 2 "Joel and the the Grudge thing's day out" where you head into the big city and antics ensue

I hate staying in cottages in Scotland with a the Grudge in them

Little known fact: For Joel's 577th video upload extravaganza, he decided to keep the video unlisted for the first 24 hours and only share the link with select fans to view prior to the public release. I was ecstatic to be one of the lucky ones who saw this on Thursday 9/14/2023 when it was originally uploaded.

I’m always excited for Joel’s videos bc I never have any idea where they are going to go 😂

that night-stand at 2:25 is easily in my top 5 list of rural Scottish cottage night-stands

there's a humorously subversive quality to these vids that makes me completely forget whatever I was worrying about before I clicked them. Now my mind is on the The Grudge guy

I love how much your shots have evolved all the scenes in this are so beautiful! Great Video Joel

You might lose your job, but man, if that isn't a worthy cause! Helping the The Grudge or the The Grudge adjacent entity figure out it's worth and purpose in life is one of the most beautiful things I could imagine.

I hate it when I rent a cottage for work but then get distracted trying to solve the mysteries of the The Grudge living in my attic and don't wind up doing any work and then get fired. Happens WAY too often

Classic video, as always. Thank you Joel, you put a bright spot on the end of my work week. Take care brother ✌️

I seriously don't know how this guy uploads such high quality and creative content so consistently

Oh my god he was talking to himself. This whole thing is a story about self-love

Amazing, the tone is so good. My favourite type of Joel Haver films, those mysterious, melancholic yet heartwarming films.

"a the grudge, or a the grudge-adjacent entity" made me LOL

I enjoy how all Joels videos mostly end with some sort of meta laughter. It feels self deprecating or idk makes it seem like its not being taken too seriously. Good stuff.

2nd rewatch since it's the 2nd day of release, as usual. :)

i love when this was definitely uploaded yesterday but we all just waited until today to watch

3:14 what a cute smile it has!

Instead of doing work, he learned how to speak Grudgese. So nice to see people actually care for others despite their appearance 😊

The perfect time to hold a The Grudge.

I love the shot of Joel waving his hands at his car, and telling his car what looks like "no way".

Lol, "the 'the grudge'" got me every time.

I love the detail of it needing to be a boy to play a game with it

Been watching this over and over for the past 24 hours and wow! All I can say is what a great, on-time, video!

Really love the emphatic "no" gesture to the car. That was a good directorial decision.

maybe the real grudge is the friends we make along the way.

The "A the Grudge" bit was funny af.

I'm impressed that you went all the way to Scotland for authenticity.

A spooky thriller that turns surprisingly wholesome, incredible work, love it

Now I want a JOEL-directed Horror movie.

He has such a way with words when describing the uuuh hands and feet thing doing weird things

I love the The Grudge.

Looking into a similar cottage to get away next month so this really vibed. Great shots, editing and writing!

When 'The Grudge' becomes 'The Disgruntlement'

How does Joel do it? Years of consistent uploads and he’s still knocking them out of the park. This is easily one of my favorites

You may not have a job but you have a friend ❤️

Love how Joel always plays Chopin and Rachmaninoff in his videos

You're really growing on this trip. Standing up to the car like that really shows progress. ❤ U

I went on a Joel spree for a while, then subbed, then went on a horror short spree for a while, and finally saw my two UKposts rabbit holes collide. On the down side, neither me nor my The Grudge will get any sleep tonight.

That’s really poetic, very cute. And the settings are mesmerizing.

I once heard someone say they heard something in the attic. Scared me near to death, I thought they were going to come up here and look.

That break in the narration at the end sent me to heaven

I'm glad you showed yourself telling the car no as there would have been a lot of unanswered questions otherwise.

The way you communicated with the grudge was genius 😂 cool angles on some of these shots!

That laugh when you can't maintain character any longer 💗

That laugh at the end kills me!

That's gotta be the most clean, comfortable looking attic I've ever seen.

living the dream Joel! Also, I love the stevie T face in the mirror during the easy to kill line! also, also, that landscape looks so beautiful!

god this has been my favourite youtube video ever since joel haver uploaded it yesterday

The forgotten installment in the SH series... “Silent Haver: Restless Leg Syndrome”

Life has been very rough for me lately but your video makes me smile and that makes all the difference. I feel that we cannot talk about our problems often because our society is based on an individualistic paradygm where everyone is expected to shut up and keep it all inside. To me you are a voice of our generation that scream against that paradygm and promote sharing our emotion by not being afraid of being our vulnerable selves. Love from Montréal.

This is fantastic. Love watching your talent and skillset progress. Always entertaining, but it just keeps getting better and better.

Sent this yesterday to some of my family and friends that are also horror movie fans, and we all had a great laugh. Thanks, Joel!

The break at the end is why I've already watched this five times.

Joel giggling at the end of this is the best 🥹

I absolutely love when you or the others break character and laugh. Please keep those parts in your videos!

He may have lost his job, but at least he gained a new friend.

the cinematography in this video is so gorgeous!

This speaks to me on such a deep level. Thanks Joel ❤️

I can't believe you've done this. Give this man a payrise

the camera quality is INSANEO STYLE on this one

These are my favorite type of video from you. Keep it up!

Really appreciate the use of Mozart's Dissonance Quartet here Joel

Genuinely got chills and the beginning and I was smiling by the end :)

This was fantastic. Honest suspense at one point followed by the humor.

this drifted into insanity with no shallow end
