One of my greatest fears is that by pure happenstance, I'll meet trent and he will instantly just be like "nope, I don't like this dude" and just walk away.

Trent being unhinged and rude is something I didn’t think I could ever see

"I will not stand for this!" *Literally stands for this* I laughed

one of my worst fears when introducing noah to people is that he’ll do the lip thing

3:23 I love how Trent somehow figures out Noah's last name and knows at least 570 names, but at 565 he just has "THE MAILMAN"

First impressions are everything. Noah had his chance, but missed it with that overbearing wave and smile.

I love the idea of Trent having a list of funny people that he regularly edits.

Wow so this is how Trent really behaves when the cameras aren’t rolling

Trent whispering 'Thank you.' really broke me for some reason. Dude really is funny.

I hated that guy Noah, right until he did that thing with his finger and his lips, I don't even know how to describe it, but the sound it made was hilarious. He just leapfrogged to third on my list, just above my comedian friend Dave, and right below this hilarious rock in my front yard (it's why I bought this house)

Joel has me terrified to ever cross-contaminate friend groups

The shot of Trent telling Joel he’s gotta move him down, and Trent looks genuinely huge while Joel looks like he’s 2 feet tall. Filmmaking.

"Why are you winded?" "Shut up."

The little face trent made at 4:57 moved him up on my list

trent would never do this literally shaking and crying rn

I love how he finished his knock

I have the utmost respect for Joel maintaining the sanctity of his "funny guy" list and not moving Trent down out of spite.

Joel next time I'm down, we're working on your cardio. That stand up was embarrassing

I like how close Joel is sitting to Noah on the settee.

Trent doesn't need paltry things like conversation to judge character. He needs only gaze into your soul, and it will be known that he doesn't like what he sees.

Finally, someone who sits next to another on the sofa the correct way! Zero space there, intimate and connected as friends should be! Thank you Joel for shining a light on what matters. ♥

People don't realize that gentle giants can be very territorial. Care should be taken to introduce them under controlled conditions.

Trent is just challenging Noah to be funnier via some tough love. Thanks, Trent. Somebody had to give him the wake up call!!!

Really weird Trent has this place in my head as a really swell guy when my first impression of him is hurling both of his friends into the sun.

That video went insaneo style!

The way trent looks at joel after he asks "is it at least double digits we're talking here?" is everything

unironically, my favorite part is them both attacking Joel for being winded for no reason

Mild-mannered bearded guys can be pretty territorial. You have to be careful when introducing them to others of their kind, lest they retreat into a passive-aggressive shell like Trent did.

Poor Noah, he's been looking forward to this for a long time (it was his make-a-wish deal)

Unhappy Trent is the scariest thing I've ever seen!

I would’ve tried the lip thing too. Thanks for taking the fall for us Noah. Now we’ll all be better prepared when we eventually meet Trent

Noah looks like the mid point of joel metamorphosising into Trent

The video ended before they became friends. That thank you at the end says it all.

That co-op door knocking was next level tho

My “what if Joel introduces me to Trent and Trent doesn’t like me” anxiety is really off the charts right now. My biggest fear in the world is that Trent won’t like me!

"Am not gonna stand for this." Proceeds to stand up💀💀

Joel you really know how to end a skit effectively, definately makes you at least double digit funny

I'm a pretty simple guy, if Trent doesn't like Noah, then neither do I.

joel's face of hurt at the end is amazing ''i can't move him down, he's funny...''

trents expression when joel asks if hes double digits is absolutely slaying me

"I'll defend you...Hes awesome" "so?" "Shit that's a good point."

The content of these videos is nothing like Seinfeld, but the style is very similar in that Joel has an awesome way of turning really thoughtless trivial events into plots that are both coherent and engaging. It's talent to be able to stretch a 10 second premise into a 5 minute video without pacing being slow or adding filler unrelated to the topic of the story.

In my heart of hearts, Trent's "thank you" at the end confirms that Joel accomplished his mission and brought the two closer together.

this feels exactly like when you go to a friend's house for the first time and their dog/cat doesn't want to interact with you

Thanks Joel, really appreciate you bringing to life all my worst social anxiety nightmares.

Another perfect sketch. All the way down to the whispered "Thank you" at the end. I think this video is number 64 on my list of funniest videos on UKposts, which is in the double digits, so, you know, it's pretty good.

"I'm not gonna stand for this!" *stands up*

Watching Trent not able to be nice makes this a horror film.

1:17 I love that cut to them sitting uncomfortably close to one another on the sofa

Trents, just like my dad the day I was born

All of them whispering to eachother at the end really got me! Another good video, thank you guys!

“I won’t stand for this.” Immediately stands for this.

“Ambivalent Trent isn’t real he can’t hurt you” Ambivalent Trent:

I am surprised that the moment Trent said " I don't like him " Noah didn't just vaporise on the spot. Truly astonishing strength.

"I can't move him down, he's funny." The writing on these is incredible without seeming like it.

It felt like it turned into a completely different skit halfway through, but still managed to be funny. Definitely moving Joel up on my list. Double digits for sure.

i can not express with words how much i love this. I just FUCKING LOVE IT

Trent definitely moved up on my list after that list bit lol

trent seems so nice that if this happened to me it would completely break me

I love the desperation in “is that at least double digits we’re talkin’ here?”

This feels like a spiritual sequel to "don't tell me" (the one where Joel doesn't want to learn Trent's friend's name because he's just done meeting people)

I would have moved him up for thinking he was double digits.😂

Also *stands up* "IM NOT GONNA STAND FOR THIS" got me good

"im not gonna stand for this" *immediately stands up*

I like how the sketch ends with a little bit of hope. Trent saying just “thank you” feel so nice compared to how he has been acting throughout the rest of the video

This was brilliant. They are so polite throughout the whole session, as they matter of factly go through this hypothetical ritual. Love this troupe for this! And goodlongpee too

The timing and delivery of that first "I don't like him" has me rolling on the floor

When he deadpan said you're literally standing, that should have been it, they're friends now.

I had a bearded giggled at the way Trent shrugs with his smirk when Joel asks if he's at least double digits

trent is the most of all time.

the division of responsibility on the door knocking is wonderful. i cant imagine trent disliking such a team player.

Trent is always the type of friend who

"at least the double digits we talking here?" fucking killed me

I always had a hard time understanding the complexities of post-WWII reconstruction efforts. The sociopolitical landscape was incredibly dynamic and evolving in both the Europe and the Pacific theaters in completely different ways. Joel you broke it down into the most easy to understand video ever!! Thank you for the amazingly simple and palatable lesson on this tough time in world history!!

as a mild mannered bearded man, this is a common occurence when we encounter each other in the wild.

This is like introducing two dogs to each other that are too old to do anything but don't want to be in the same room.

"He's awesome!" "So what?..." "Oh, that's a good point..." I almost spit out my hot chocolate! 😂

Citizen-Kane levels of deep-focus photography happening at 4:46

the awkward silences always get me 😂 nice work as always Trent & Joel!

Trent's ability to straight face this is amazing, I'd be cry laughing.

Trent obviously is threatened by another manly bear full of facial hair taking his place as Joel's favorite manly bear full of facial hair. It's so obvious.

Trent going on his rude arc has been the greatest gift in comedic history

I like how even though he doesn’t like the guy, he still lets him into his house to get to know him

"I'M NOT GONNA STAND FOR THIS" * proceeds to stand *

Trent is turning into a world beater deadpan comedian

I LOVE YOU JOEL, TYSM FOR EVERYTHING!

Joel going out of breath for standing up had me yell

“Why are you winded?” “Shut up” 😂

0:12 is so freaking intense, and it’s not the performances. The yellow doors just blow me away. Full props to your production designer and art director. In fact, kudos to the entire art department. They never get enough credit. Just look at those doors and tell me that they’re not pulling all the emotional weight in that scene, setting us up for what is to come. All that symbolism and meaning packed into yellow doors. I immediately put the doors at #49 on my list, but by the end of this video, their position was a solid #46.

Trent's standards are above us

One of my greatest fears is wondering how I am ranked on my friends' lists of funniest people they know.

Ordering that list is a full time job for Trent since it's done on paper and moving someone to a spot means editing all other numbers.

Your a dam cool dude, i hope making your vids is as enjoyable for you and your freinds as it is for those who get to watch them.

the ending chilled me. Trent, bathed in light, embodying The Funny Guy by accepting praise from Lesser Funny Men. A "Thank you" none will soon forget- it's a reminder that we live in fear, and Trent IS the fear. God be with us.

This is like one of those skits you put together for a college assignment, but polished SOOO far that it's in a complete league of it's own.

That Dr. Seuss line is gonna work its way back into my lexicon immediately. Well used

Thank you for uploading Joel, your videos make me happy :)

I’ll say something nice about Trent. He has BEAUTIFUL eyes

Who needs Excel when you have Trent's list editing skills

I knew seeing Trent act rude was gonna hurt me, but i thought I could steel myself against it. I was wrong. Hearing him be mean instantly threw my stomach into knots.
