You're right. I think it's hilarious that Joel leans into that joke, especially since I love his live actions way more than the animations.

I discovered him through the animations, but the live action stuff is so great Also these bots weirdly come in pairs

People have been inspired to do it themselves instead and I think this liberates Joel to work on more creative stuff. I think the live action stuff is fantastic.

Creep (2014)

Well, in universe they channels mysteriously stop posting, its only IRL that they keep posting like normal. How he has gotten away with it so far, that is a mystery.

@@jameswhitley4101 But it's real though???? Can you not see that these aren't skits, they're more like tightly edited vlogs? My guess for how the channels are able to keep posting is that they prerecorded loads of videos, which Joel is releasing over time on their channels for them.

He's earned those award plaques, he's gonna keep it going.

You can see the strings if you play their videos at . 25 speed

I think he is that awkward but when he is in character, he turns it up to 11. IMHO, it's something good actors might often do, they take something from their own personalities that might fit and just roll with it. Maybe so playing the character is more natural if there is something to relate between them.

With Joel what you see is what you get pretty much

@@Misack8 In Meyers Briggs he has ridiculous amounts of intuition, in college we used to play a game where you pretend you have a mental disorder you pulled out of basket and everyone has to guess it, and I just scared people. Its the energy that drives most of Quentin Taratino's work, he knows how to make people uncomfortable. Its not really being socially awkward so much as understanding the feeling of being socially awkward and then extroverting that feeling into the world. A lot of comedians do different variations on the same theme, Larry David, Tim Heidecker, etc, extremely intuitive people.

It's Joel's fetish to choke and murder UKpostsrs.

Watching the video having read this comment really makes a difference, bruh, it seems so much like he's just asking to do it again because of the fetish

Totally just edging him haha

That's what I said ☠️

He's never acting

@@ImProbablyFine. Yes, but I can't tell

It it’s like a character Like Mickey Mouse or Dounald Duck

Imagine halfway trough the video series a body of one of the other youtubers is found

Method actor hes always in his role

I agree it was getting so real that I didn't even want to watch more it took up alot of courage to actually watch the whole thing. I really do like what Joel was doing but DAMN

idk about u guys but i think scott just discovered a kink before he died

I liked it

Yeah this one made me genuienley uncomfortable bevuase of how slow and painful this kill is, this one I was all like "ok dude stop" The whole time

Who said it wasn't real? 😐 I haven't seen any Scott Cramer videos since... just sayin

PLEASE, PLEASE

It is done.

the amount of hope this comment infused into me is unreal

What? Oh yeah, ok. Sorry this video referencing itself hurt my head and then you referencing the video referencing itself kind of threw me off.

Ralphie, get down from there!

I would like to watch the making-of documentary for this video. The levels of meta would blow my mind.

And peak horror as well. Just getting gradually creepier! So awesome!

That's what makes Joel so great. He doesn't only do comedy...he does thrillers, horrors, and dramas. The only thing I can think of that I would love to see Joel do is an action film of some sort!

His talents are just insane

@@ComedyBros5 Have you seen Ralphie get down from there again? Edge of your seat entertainment!

@@garybartlett3028 YES. Love that little series he does with Trent. Gives me a good adrenaline rush!

At first I agreed with you but then I realised that the police would probably consider it suspicious that three missing persons cases are connected to Joel through murder comedy. And then I realised you were just making a funny comment and I was overthinking.

And he would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!

The perfect crime would be not killing the 5 first ones and then actually killing one for real. Just so people arent suspisious

Turlet

doonald duck got me too💀💀💀

Hahaha, exactly. If anything, these videos he's doing on the road have me questioning just how exactly Joel is in person.

If you go onto Scott’s channel he released a video with Joel and he seems to be acting like himself but then again. Who is himself

You should watch his "Pretend tat you love me" movie then. your mind shall be blown.

I’d volunteer to be strangled if he’d tell me

Yeah, ... Looked real. Magic trick, yeah. Yeah.

In case you or anyone else really wants to know, this is a classic screen wipe effect. There were After Effects tutorials on this floating around all the way back in 2007-08. Most commonly it's a person standing in the road getting hit by a car. This is just a variation. So you have one shot of the person standing in the road (or in this case, in the box), you set the camera on a tripod, perfectly still. You film until you have a good enough reaction shot. Just them reacting as if theres a car about to hit them. Immediately after, you remove the person from the shot (in this case you leave the box in the street though as it's just cardboard) and you drive the vehicle through the shot (smashing the empty box, or just driving through an empty shot. Crushing an actual box sells the trick though). So you have two shots. One with a vehicle safely driving across the screen, and one with a person who is pretending they're about to get run over. In your program you layer the two shots, the camera never moved so this should be easy, but helps to pick a stable background and exact same time of day. You cut the videos in half and blend the two shots together. It's a lot like Photoshop. You cut around the road and car, and wipe it into the shot. When the car intersects the box or pedestrian you take a still frame of the person and motion track them to follow with the moving vehicle or under the tire. In the traditional shot with a walking pedestrian you would actual turn them into a 2D ragdoll and bend them over the hood and drag them off screen with the vehicle. Sounds more complicated than it is. Literally it's like making a collage. You clip around the car so that it looks like the two shots happened at the same time, then you have a few frames where your 2D still image from the moment of "impact" is animated to look like it's being affected by the car. In this case probably just a cutout of Sven's head moving towards the tire. After the squish you don't see anything distinguishably human so the special FX are done. The cool thing about the addition of the box is that it really simplified the effect. He didn't have to warp the entire body and make it look like it's realistically been hit and wrapped onto the hood. He could just take a few frames from the reaction video and move them exactly with the position of the box. That was really clever.

Loved your puritans video

@@GrandmasterofWin Right...."screen wipe". Yes the "classic screen wipe"...mwwaahahahahahahaha

I was just thinking about that. Very inception-y.

Knowing Joels style they probably just talked about the idea and then basically improv’d the rest. Maybe some basic direction but he likes to do a lot of riffing/improv

@@rumham7631 whatever he's doing, I hope he never stops.

@@Jiggerjaw If he does, we riot.

Can I have ur kidney?

eat your cereal

I didn't see him take you up on this. If you'd still like to be ended I am free this Friday.

I agree, most of Joel's stuff is good entertainment but this is pure gold in cinematographic value. I bet some great writer is banging their head to walls because they didn't think of this.

get it, nicki snot.

Omg yesssss PLEASEE

I feel like both of you have been on the rise and collaborating with more and more big UKpostsrs lately, so a video or two between the both of you seems like it'd be bound to happen.

This suggests that Joel will visit pewdiepie someday. Oh no

Meta-wise I hope he really is collecting UKposts play plagues in his van just so he can post a shot of them all on his wall later this year or just a pile of them in a closet After the cross country tour he could ship them back of course- not for keepsies

@@DoABarrelRol1l Lord that'd be too perfect.

Absolutely. I feel like the man's brain is just constant originality. Would love to meet the man some day. I'm sure there's never a dull moment!

I only like his animations and don't really watch his live-action stuff. (Are you reading this, Joel? How about "Visiting @KnuckleHunkybuck")

ok

What are you even saying

@@nemo1716 what scott said in the vid

Yea I was trying to figure out if they’re mimicking the video or just being negative.

*comes with cable from behind*

If it weren't for the UKpostsrs he's visiting also releasing a video they did with Joel, I would be thinking the same. haha

Imagine the doubt in the mind of the other youtubers who have to let him "pretend" to strangle them....

I think the best part of this is that Scott usually has a week or two of delay between his videos, so it might be a while before we can be 100% sure this was indeed a bit.

Hahaha, I know! I hope he can keep getting guys. This idea is so addicting from its originality!

Yeah, I watched the Scott Cramer video first. Doesn't even mention any of this. They review some commercials. Adds to the immersion quite a bit that the other creator makes unrelated content during the visit.

Not until cocomelon surpass Pewds

Same here! I'm a huge fan of everything Joel has done. Up until this "Visiting" series, my favorite projects by him are his feature films. However, this series is easily some of the best content I've ever seen from any creator. Ever. It's genius, original, and always beautifully executed!

those shots through the camera are pure genius

This deserves more likes, and replies that aren’t spam bots. I’ve done all I can

I understood that reference.

I'm so excited. I really hope it gives Scott the sub count his quality videos deserve.

i love it! reminds me of the end of the shining movie. it's the end of the series and it implies it continues after the cameras are off.

It was getting more hilarious with each 'take'. I thought they'd play it that Joel was getting tired and Scott just. wouldn't. DIE. And Joel would, gasping at the end, just shoot him.

Yeah no ones really commenting on it fr..

The acting and delivery has far surpassed UKposts standards!

@@ComedyBros5 Seriously! It’s awesome Comedy Central has started recognizing online content creators, like Sven Johnson. Maybe we’ll see Joel and Scott doing something with them eventually.

@@BradleySmithUKposts Right! They'd be very wise to do that. CC bringing in both Sven and Gus brought me to check out their channel (I find the channel dry aside from their guest appearances). If CC would regularly release content with UKpostsrs, I would definitely subscribe!

@@ComedyBros5 I 100% agree with that. Comedy Central does not have a great track record for their own productions.
