Unfortunately the Teeth Thief is all too real.

I love how their letter to Santa just ended up looking like a Python script by the end

I like how she starts being legitimately concerned for his well-being when he brings up the tooth-thief.

I really liked this one Love, Drew

I love that Joel wrestling a man who collected teeth as a child is just left in the air like that.

I love to imagine Joel, traveling around the country in his tricked out van, striking up a conversation with random people at truck stops, and rest areas, then getting invited back to their homes, so they can FINALLY bring that comedy sketch they've been tinkering with for years into fruition.

"You watched Gremlins? You weren't supposed to." The delivery of that line makes it seem that Evan knows more than he is saying.

Joel: "Does the double quotes cancel each other? Let's add a third" Me, a software developer: "That hits home, bro."

The transition from talking about the traumatic Teeth Bag guy to "LIARS!" 😂

The vision of a strange man jangling a bag of human teeth and wrestling children for more in the night is pretty haunting.

So close to getting a ["{Teeth Theif}"] crossover here, thus spawning the """Joel""" Haver "Holiday" _Cinematic_ universe that we only now know we "need."

I love the innocent delivery of "Because they're our parents..." in response to why she put "love"

Dude's living out of his van, but when he says "weekly short films" he means it. Mad good respect bro.

"So you're saying it's part of the header now? So it needs parentheses. Three of them." There's so much lore packed into that one line.

“You…watched…Gremlins??” “You weren’t supposed to.” Best line fo sho

Hey, I don't know if anyone else does this, but these are the only videos on youtube I watch twice. I get some kind of bizarre whiplash on the first viewing, not knowing what the video will be about. Then I watch it again and appreciate it more. No other creator does that for me. Never change Joel.

holy fuck you two were phenomenal in this, some of the most genuine acting on youtube

You should have given a """May need to sit down first""" warning before this video.

"So we make a sketch where we write a letter and just get stuck on technicalities, and finish it without actually writing any content" it's so simple and well executed

3:53 Joel suddenly self conscious about how she has a more masculine yell

Joel's videos are so unpredictable. There's no way to tell what comes next

Shes a really good actress. Her "Evan what" was perfect

Joel says he’s goin on trips but he’s really just finding elaborate ways to spend time with this girl.

Occasionally I pop in to rewatch this and lose it when Hannah slams her fist saying: "LIARS!"

The outtakes are wholesome. "He's happy cuz he's getting a dessert. 😊"

“You sit on a throne of lies!” - Buddy the Elf, 2003

When I was a kid, my parents never really did the whole Santa thing. I would see them bring the presents over on Christmas, they weren't hiding it. I had a vague idea of Santa but I never really thought of him at all. One Christmas my cousins (who were much older) came from the US to visit. They told me all about Santa and were surprised I've never written a letter to him. My cousin helped me write one (I didn't know how to write yet) and the letter sounded like this letter. I still remember the first line was "dear Santa, assuming you are real, I want...". My cousin was laughing the whole time.

That may be the most wholesome outtake reel I’ve ever seen! ❤️🤣

Sometimes I'd wake up to Santa wrist deep in my mouth, testing out my different teeth for looseness. I kinda felt bad for him .. cuz he had stooped to trolling for loose teeth

"Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see" - Santa Claus

Joel, you have such a contagiously wholesome laugh!

You bring me so much joy and comfort.

Back in the day parents used to be honest with their children and warn them of the teeth thief, but these days all they do is tell the kids it's santa claus to make it less frightening. What has the world come to.

Ok so you made me look it up: In the phrase “just deserts”, the word - also stressed on its second syllable (“de-ZERT”), thus homophonous with dessert - is, however, spelt with a single “s”. It comes from a different French word, desert (masculine)/ deserte (feminine), derivatives of deservir “to deserve”. Thus the phrase is saying a person gets the justice they deserve. So it's nothing to do with either cake or sand. UPDATE: After some great replies, I looked into it a little more. It comes from old French, not contemporary language.

I realize that I am finding this 3 months late but the man who stole your teeth sounds so genuinely terrifying and the concern sounded so real. Easily my favorite part.

The way she hesitated with 'I still love them' because she wanted to seem sincere is just brilliant.

The embodiment of "I'm going to write a strongly worded letter"

The Joel Haver Renaissance is upon us. All of the ideas have felt so fresh since he’s been on the road.

The comedic chemistry here is incredible. Incredible acting and light-hearted all around. Love it man

This might be my new favorite skit from this channel

Only Joel would release the Christmas special in august

Anyone who only watches Joel for the animations misses gems like these.

This was one of your all time best videos! Adding the side story about the creepy tooth collector and then just brushing it off and the way subtle things like misspelling her moms name.. so great!

so many examples of good improv in this scene. Yes and-ing, digging into an unusual thing, being locked in and good listening

“Santa comes down the chimney and puts presents under the tree!” I swear you guys were living in an apartment about a year ago, and still didn’t realize

I clicked on this link for a comedy sketch, not a MasterClass on grammar

Another “Pretend that you live me” reunion. My absolute favourite thing Joel has made.

I love that she perfectly blends in with the couch 0:03

by using triple quotes, you can break the quote over multiple lines

I like the “You’re not supposed to watch Gremlins” like the reason they’re still so childlike is because they still only watch Nick Jr.

I swear Joel, this has to be one of your best sketches I've seen. Brilliantly paced and acted, Hannah was great. The way you played off of each other was perfection.

Hannah reminds me of Rashida Jones so much

Joel in the header bit "Know what mom would hate? Carol and Stewart!" Joel 3 minutes later 'Hearts the word Love at the bottom' "Mom's gonna love that!"

The letter also compiles in Lisp

I'm glad you encouraged checking out your live action skits. These are so so good.

The blooper reel was exactly as enjoyable as the film. Thank you for this

This is such a well told sketch. Total gold

If this is improvised it's got such an impressive amount of jokes and fluent narrative. If it's scripted then the on screen chemistry and charisma is so natural that it feels real. Das a pretty good vidjo.

I ignored this video SO MANY TIMES when it came up in my recommendations thinking "I'm not ready for one of the heavy ones right now."

Joel my brother I gotta tell ya that I never EVER watch any video or movie twice since its just boring BUT whenever I'm in a bad depressive time it smth I just search your channel and watch all of your stuff basically, and that turns my mood a whole 180. You're amazing and I wish you the best and most wonderful things and people in life. I love you, just like countless other people! ❤️

the Dictionary definition of No popping up when she's searching google. So good.

The girl yelling LIARS made me spit out my hotdog

The outtakes are so pure 🥺. Keep up the great work dood!

I love when you include the bloopers, it's always so cute and wholesome

Why is nobody talking about how good the improv is. The jokes are on point and this is the first time I have seen this girl but she plays really well with Joel

This sketch is maybe one the best overall pieces on this channel yet. Pacing, chemistry, jokes- bam. It works. Keep making us laugh, Joel, you have a gift.

This is truly one of your best ones. You two are so great together.

This is outstanding, as always. Well done. Absolutely loving your videos.

I will never forget the day my sister told me Santa was our parents, worst 23rd birthday ever

“Y’all’s chemistry is fantastic! What a great premise for a sketch

Loved the sketch and the bloopers. Thank you for including them. Could've easily been left out.

One of my favorite sketches, good job.

this gave me flashbacks of doing homework at a friends house lol, good job.

I'm so happy that I have watched enough of the JHCU to get the teeth thief reference

Joel, I don't know what it is about you, your team, the videos you make but I feel genuine joy almost every video I watch. And I absolutely love the off script endings. Thank you so much.

I think this is my favorite one, you twos humors are a perfect match

Love how he still doesn't watch Grimlens because his parents told him not to.

I was lied to when I found out that Golden Corral was not an actual corral.

absolutely fantastic! It all flowed so well that I hadn't even realized 7 minutes had passed by the end of it!

That was amazing. I love everything about this video. Both of you did a great job and i can't stress this enough.

Can't believe you got Rashida Jones to agree to a collab, you're really moving up in the world Joel. Congrats!

I'm still not sold on the whole "Santa isn't real" thing, wouldn't there be like a huge body of work about that?

Definitely my new favorite video of yours! I was dying of laughter throughout. That "getting a desert" line was genius and the outtakes were just the icing on the cake. 💓

Thank you you two! Great video as always

I should've known Carol and Stewart were up to this.

The connection between discovering santa does not exist and then reaizing that the tooth fairy does not aswell is so relatable

This is brutally awesome. Thank you, the best!

this is one of the best things I've ever seen. thank you

Joel is an American treasure

I love the suggestion of "Is santa real yes or no" with "no" like it's what people thought Ask Jeeves would be

loved this one! so many golden details

Loved the bloopers at the end, that just made the whole thing for me

This perfectly matches the flow of a conversation between siblings, it's so good

The whole thing seemed so improvised I was shocked to see the bloopers

Thank you for always making my day, love your videos

The editing in this bit is 🔥

i watch these last few collabs as spin-offs from pretend that you love me. interesting relationship dynamics

"And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus..." Rewinds the tape "And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus..." "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!"

I love the layers of chaos going on with “he’s smiling because he’s getting his just deserts.”

Thanks for including the bloopers. Bloopers are a gift to the world.
