Do NOT feel sorry for her! The woman went home, got into her bathrobe, crawled into the bathroom, and has been living rent free in Julie's mirror ever since.
The origin story!!
is this canon?? Julie is this canon??? I want this to be canon.
Ah, so this is "Mirror Girl: Origins", part of the Julie Nolke Cinematic Universe.
I was thinking the exact same thing while watching the video. I don't care, I have made it canon for me.
funny
As a former bartender, I have watched this scenario play out too many times.
You and me both, brother.
Every woman over 30
@@Verifraudreports I had a much different crowd. My experience is only in upscale bars/restaurants, where the general demographic started around 28ish, or so. At my rail, it was usually the younger ones that got like the character in Julie's sketch. Although, there were the occasional 40-50 year olds that came in during their mid-life crisis. They fit this video to a T, including trying to hit on me while being a decade or more younger than them. One of them even tried to block me from serving a table I had on the main floor until I gave her a hug. WEIRD!
@@v.duskren8819 that last scenario is very creepy. Someone needs to learn boundaries and personal space!😓
@@v.duskren8819 i did my stint beind the rail in a ski town. divorces 30-40 ..also where the term cougar originated
"7 years now" I don't know why that hit me so hard
Faaaiiiiluuuuureeee
Whattt thaaaa haiiiiill
Felt so targeted
6 years man. Felt that one real hard
Julie cuts herself on the razor thin line between comedy and reality.
hahaha

This is the edgiest comment in the comment section ;P

There's nothing that makes a human more insecure than struggling with a straw in front of other people.
fax
People use straws???
Very true
@@nonsensepoem You might wanna check the actual title, 'cause nothing conclusive shows up with those words
Owner of a big Burly beard and can confirm failing when using a straw makes me feel like I’m a 5 year old.
As a DJ who occasionally spins at bars and nightclubs, I have seen multiple women go through this exact transition and it is EXACTLY like this.
I think it's common, which explains why Julie nailed it.
I DJ'ed in the 80's, not only did I see this play out many times, I am also old enough to have gone through the male version of it. lol
As a 31 year old who just got out of a 5-year relationship last week; I did not agree to be called out like this 😅
Me neither 🤔
28 year old and 6 years... :/
This is basically an unprovoked attack.
Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a former bartender (and fellow female) this is SPOT ON! The mannerisms, the facial expressions, the small talk, the breakup stories about him, even the drinking someone else's drink by accident is exactly what I'd see so many nights! The lime falling out of your hand was so perfect and hilarious!
It makes sense but is also kinda an odd thing to do, like would you want a guy to tell you about his ex? lol
these people just want company after like a huge event right?
As someone getting out of a 5 year relationship, this is both hilarious and also too real so I'm gonna go cry in the shower now
In the same boat. Ready to cry as well
Wow I didn't know other people cried in the shower as a hobby!
Same!
Perhaps you shouldn't have broken up with him because he was depressed, or a bead of sweat fell on you. Or just to prove how empowered you are. (Women file 80 percent of the divorces, usually for reasons they can't remember two years later.)
@@scottadler Who hurt you?
The reality that Julie filmed this in her house by herself makes it so much more entertaining
It makes it delightfully awkward :D
Read the description, there's literally a cameraman and a production assistant on-site, possibly an editor.
Dude she breaks quarantine like there's no tomorrow. She deleted videos where she wasn't wearing a mask last year while shooting scenes in public parks, which required it.
@@ricktyman4709 Who the hell wears a mask outside at the park? Indoors, I understand, but it's at the freaking park.
@@TeaBurn people who are going to crowded parks. They had to close ours down because a lot of people were walking the trails and the trails weren't big enough to allow social distancing; at all.
Even though there was no barman, I still felt really sorry for him.
Right like I was wow so sad
🤣🤣🤣
He is used to it.
If they're tipping well, I don't mind. Although I try very hard to not let my patrons get that trashed.
No joke, that is the finest drunk acting I've ever seen
I think you never saw Amy Poehler
“Acting”
Plot twist: it's not acting
Have you seen the movie "another round", it's themed around being drunk.
The dancing is what got me. Lol
Congratulations on the Webby wins. You deserve them.
The real question is if they (the awards) deserve her.

She’s got on knee-highs and still managed to lose her shoes, brilliant touch 😂😂
Ikr. And love how the club turns into a karaoke bar, somehow. Those are definitely two different nights out in the U.S. but Canada seems amazing. And magical.
Julie is such a good actress because I can never tell if she is actually drunk or not.
I'd like to think she is dedicated enough to actually get progressively more trashed throughout the video shoot and actually called her mother in law at 3 am as well
I'd like to think she is dedicated enough to actually get progressively more trashed throughout the video shoot
One can only hope lol
@@BadDayLp I mean, sleep deprivation would work just as good.
That singing was waayyy too on the beat for her to be drunk
Can we take a second to appreciate Julie's drunk eye acting skills?
Are you sure it's acting?
Yes!!
Method.
forest whitaker has been real quiet since this dropped
That's just really what happens with alcohol and an astigmatism - cheers! ;)
Now I want to see and hear a conversation between mirror drunk Julie and regular drunk Julie. 🍺
some men just want to watch the world burn
@@julienolke 🙂
No no, he's got a point
@@julienolke yeah why not everything burns!
@@julienolke purge the world with drunk fire!
Even being a single male who just turned thirty, I felt a confusing mixture of hilarity and existential dread for myself.
Eyyy happy birthday
I'm 5 years ahead of you:) Seeing the young ones look younger and younger is unnerving, and it's true the clubbing scene is generally 20's and early 30's, but in all honesty the dating scene never really goes away no matter how old you are. I thought I wouldn't be approached anymore after I got married but to my surprise, there are still ppl interested. So don't worry too much. Should your relationship ever end later in life, there will still be interesting people to meet, and your relationship and conversations will be all the more deeper as a result of your experience.
Start chasing money, skill, influence and 20+ :P
Welcome to your prime
Newly single 38 y/o. This video is scary AF
That one time when Mirror Julie was actually _more sober_ than Actual Julie
How do you know that that wasn't Mirror Julie?
Mirror Julie can handle her liquor thats why!
Lol I gotta say it was testing my Julie Vs Mirror Julie boundary! And that is part of what made it delightful! Thanks Julies!!
It’s the little details that elevate the performance - the tics, the slurred words, & the bit with the straw. This should be a Masterclass.
Clearly Julie is hilarious and on point, but can we talk about that makeup, lighting, and color coordination for a moment? Because, damn.
When you realize this didn’t occur at a crowded bar, but alone at the woman’s apartment.
I still haven't gotten used to millenial being a stand-in for 'young and clueless', and now you tell me it already became a stand-in for 'old and creepy' ?!
The oldest of us are now in their late 30s!
@@sunflower_stargirl The oldest millennials actually turned 40 this year!
Yeah, man, we're definitely not The Kids anymore.
Millenials are born between 1980 and 1995 so yeah, we are kind of old now :(.
And this is me on my 29th birthday, 11 years with the same guy. I never called him again nor hi mom, at least.
To clarify, i'm not millenial myself, i'm right in between X & Y, so even more old and creepy!
I was cracking up hard. Julie is such a good actor
she's way to good at acting plastered lol
"Art imitates life!"...Jus' saying!!😆
Great production values too.
Who said she's acting?....I know plenty of these.
I'm thankful to her for reminding me why I'm SOOOO GLAD to not still be "out there" and single...lbvs🤣🙏🏾
Seems like a nice club. Not too crowded, music's not too loud, nice mood lighting. Feels very homey.
The girls there are cute, but they're a little out of control
Sounds like the barkeep is a nice guy as well.
and one is not booed by the crowd even for awful karaoke
It’s probably a Tuesday 🤣
@@esquilax5563 Nothing a little bit of love won't fix 😳
I'm a bartender, and I can tell you, this is frighteningly accurate. Except, sadly, that black bar does not exist 3:14.
Sadly?
@@procrastination2204 Yeah, in Julie's case I'd like it to go away.
I must admit I thought it was the zenith of creativity when Julie went full 'Basic Instinct' for the laugh :-)
@@procrastination2204 meaning he sees everything when he’s working lol
As a 27 year old getting out of a five-year relationship, that portrayal of desperation is so accurate that it's nearly painful 😂
Ok but as a recently single from a 12 year marriage, this was too real.
Same. After a 7 yr common law relationship it hits hard
Same
Hey 😘
@@conwaymj88 are you saying hey to me??
@@GBPARMER_GEN-X77 can’t say I’ve ever been flirted with via a comment section. Hate to break it to him but I’m hella gay.
I enjoy that Julie's left eyelid progressively falls lower and lower over her eye
I like how everyone was maintaining social distancing in the club, no one even came in the frame, not one person. Gotta love Canadian people!
Not sure if Julie is just great at acting drunk or if those were real shots x)
I'll never tell xoxo Gossip Girl
Plot twist: She's method.
I say she's method acting
the trick is they're non alcoholic but she's high af
Maybe a little of column A, and a little of column B.
As someone single and in their 30's, this hit deep in a dark place we're not supposed tO TALK ABOUT JULIE
As an elder millennial who has recently had thoughts of killing their partner in their sleep for breathing too loud, I agree - JULIE, WE’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT THIS STUFF!
Rude, but the name fits.
Omg if they snore... I used lavender oil on my x and he stopped snoring when I put that on his pillow. He slept like a baby.
Just wait until your 40's my friend
@Volatile Truth learn the difference between your and you're and maybe we'll (not will) consider your comments intellectually worthy.
Oh god, I'm the same age, and single... we're becoming the people we made fun of when we were 20, aren't we? >.
It's inevitable. Also the breathing too loud murder part.
That's the cycle of life
What age you are is always going to be a better indicator of how people see you, it's just that talking in generational cohorts appeals to our sense of tribalism. But even boomers were the 'spoiled and out of control' youths in the 60s and 70s and a lot of people being labled as 'stuffy old boomers' are actually members of the once very counter-cultural GenX.
I'm 40 and newly single after 10 years. For the first bit I'm thinking, "Oh she's nice." A third of the way in, not so much. 😛😛
That’s poetic justice, I guess. So please, do not make fun of these people.
Note to self: Don't watch at work. Too many people laughing around me.
I think we are witnessing Mirror Julie’s origin. Congratulations on the Webby win
"Ugh... It tastes horrible... Has it always been like that?" Relatable 😄
I went to a real bar for the first time since covid about 2 weeks ago. I've never been so disappointed as when I tasted the first drink someone got me. Was expecting a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster and got bad whiskey even further watered down to coke that didn't have enough syrup in the mixture. Very anticlimactic, but at least I wasn't stuck at home
Who else thinks Julie is rocking that dress? And those moves! And emotional drunken singing.
That singing hurt my ears
The dancing is pretty great.
To be honest, I never noticed before, but Julie has REALLY nice legs.
Julie is fucking gorgeous but i never see comments about it. I think these comments must be moderated pretty hard
@@duLuded I guess you and I are about to find out :D
Instead of killing me softly with her song, she's murdering me stabbily with her jokes.
Haha, “Stabbily”
Dude I watched this without the sound and IT’s BLOODY BRILLIANT 🤣🤣🤣
Okay. Uhm... why? 😂
@@NemoK I'm guessing for accuracy? Since you can't hear a damn thing in places like that.
@@dezh6345 WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??????????
You know it's good when it still makes sense on mute haha

I snorted when the censor bar came out. Awesome.
Did it cover anything or was it just suggesting there was something to cover.
@@johndododoe1411 I suspect it maybe was needed once and the editor decided it would be funnier to go whole hog. The editor was right.

@@aloseman I had to wait 15 to 20 minutes.

Don't worry... this only happens to women
@@Kmanh-xf2jq not true, go look at Robin Sharma's books
I laughed way too hard. This is so painfully accurate to my 32 year old soul after leaving my boyfriend of 6 years.
Haha
You are without a doubt the absolute best actor in the universe to portray drunkenness. The facial expressions, the little speech tics it's just friggin perfect!
thank youuu!
Someone needs to compare her to the Oscar nominated performances in the movie "Another Round" (Druk).
who said she's acting
@@julienolke You had just one eye drooping! How did you even do that without actually being drunk?!
@@julienolke Method actor? :)
This one already leads the next Webby Awards.
Wow this is art. Look at the color theory. Look at the framing. The acting. My god. 😌
I missd one scene: Drunk Julie goes to the restroom, she hears "mirror mirror" from somewhere and sees sober Julie in the mirror.
Part 2
Omg yessssss
OMG yesssssss
Now that would have been true genius.
Clever! yes.
"because one day you are going to wake up and you are going to want to murder him" LOL. As someone who has been married for 30 years, I can tell you that's true. Fortunately, it passes. I mean it comes back later, and then goes away again..... several times.... but the point is, it passes.
It gets replaced by the regret of having committed murder though.
Err speak for yourself?
And at some point he passes
@@kotikkotik945 DAMMIT I was gonna make that same joke...
... and then you remember his life insurance will only sustain you for two years ... maybe three if you're real careful about spending.
"Uh... this is horrible. Has it always been like that?!" such a good line!
She is not just talking about the drink😂
You and Ryan George are able to create the amazing impression of there being multiple people in the room, when there's only you, its crazy good
I think Julie's even better at it. There's something about the whole "one person is talking while the camera is on someone else" thing that makes the whole effect work so well. The shots look like shots you'd see in a show or movie, while the dialogue and pictures are one person.
So true!
Ryan was her ex.
@@francescademaio2639 I'm glad you think so
The evolution of Julie’s hairdo is the most believable part of this
Right it changed so much so quick
She singing "driver license" was the best thing I watch this week JSJSJSJJS
Totally!!!
How she's still alive after that many drinks and still looking that good, we'll never know

I was waiting for the drinks to come back up
@@utezahn3174 Drinking that much in your 30s... Yep that's exactly what would have happened.
Those drinks are way watered down
I swear, her talent for acting is INCREDIBLE
You killed it Julie. You nailed the true behavior of a party girl. It was so convincing. From fun and vibrant to tipsy and flirty to crazy and wild to wallowing in self pity and finally passing out.
“It’s nice because I can do my own thing now.”
**awkwardly dances alone**
Lmaooo oh Julie - we love you.
When Drivers License came on I fully lost it! I am crying!
I've only heard this song twice in my life (the SNL performance, twice), but I immediately recognized it. Great choice!
Never would have thought a woman alone in her house could film a masterpiece like this, and that 400,000 people would watch it. Quarantine is really hit us hard guys
This was a really dumb try-hard compliment. Quarantine has been over; this is what’s known as the internet.
@@123214matt well damn
Quarantine is the alchemical fire from which lead has turned into gold.
@@123214matt Yes!! Thank you!! I really don't understand people saying that we are still in quarantine. It ended some time ago. Anyone who believes it is still going on has either been duped or is just staying in it voluntarily hoping that others will join them. It's just silly
You know, two years ago I would have just assumed this was acting out being at a club in a solo skit. Now I know she is actually doing this alone, and acting out like she's at a bar is to give some sense of normalcy during a hard situation in strange times.
This went from normal Julie to Mirror Julie real quick
Just shows the gap between the two isn't that great :-)
Mirror julie breaks out once in a while too👍👍👍
I love this video!!! Thank you for making this
"Can you stop making out for a sec?" is my new favourite ice breaker!
Hahsha try it, i'd be interested in the responses!
Julie you're actually a national treasure, I lost it at drivers license lmfao
Julie: **Sucks on Lime**
"This is supposed to be good for vitamin C."
"You know what I was looking for earlier When I came was a little vitamin D."
GENIUS Julie! Got yourself a new subscriber!
Julie has this amazing ability to be both awkward and hot at the same time, and drunk Julie is just hilarious.
The left eye when she starts getting drunk. That is just too accurate
Signs you're the mom friend: when you can't stop saying "oh honey no" and "drink water, sweetie" watching this. 😂
Why did i read this in Kris Jenner’s voice?
Next episode: drunk Julie talks to mirror drunk Julie when she gets home
And mirror Julie is stone-cold sober.
PLOT TWIST: they are the same person

I am so proud to be a millennial, we were promised the world and ended up getting an iPhone and a seat at the bar after an apocalypse. Thanks!
@@GBPARMER_GEN-X77 I’m Gen X ( 47 ) and my husband is a millennial ( 32 ) he brings up some valid points about weird shit from Gen X youth such as all the creepy songs about having sex with underage girls and the fact that I weighed 84 pounds in high school because “ heroin chic “ was the body type goals. Also, the boys will be boys mentality. I got groped almost daily just trying to walk from one class to another and that wasn’t unusual. I’m honestly glad we didn’t have cameras in our faces all the time though so there’s that.
Every generation was promised the world and we all blame the generations before us for handing us a pile of steaming shit. My generation had a war because of oil and watched planes crash into buildings and wondered wtf we were supposed to do about it but fortunately airline companies made a rule about liquids and hired tsa agents to make us all feel physically violated and I guess that fixed everything. It could be worse…we could all be Gen Z and not know what fing pronouns to use while talking to transgender, level 3 furry, ninja turtles that identify as unicorns.
@@GBPARMER_GEN-X77 Boomers were howled down and excluded by bitter ex war returned soldiers who ran the world. We never had a say in anything.
@@iconoclad Hahaha, that's the funniest line I've read in here all year.
Anyhow, I'm glad to be an Xer... we were actually promised shit and misery and the world delivered, lol!
Almost everything I was told in grade school came to past except flying cars... (kind of miffed about that one.)
@@GBPARMER_GEN-X77 Liar? What are you on about? I am just speaking from personal experience. As kids we were told "Children should be seen and not heard". We weren't allowed an opinion. Old codgers at the lawn bowls club prevented us from flying our model planes in the park behind the club because the engines were affecting their concentration. Later our guitar band was harassed by the manager at the RSL club during a paying gig because I don't know why. Bosses at all my early jobs were crusty old B's. There was no such thing as pot. The closest thing to drugs was an untrue rumour at primary school that you could put aspirin in coca cola and it would make you feel funny. At high school one of my classmates was so decadent as to smoke tobacco. But yes, it was fairly easy to get a job.
How can a person act SO drunk SO accurately?
It's just hilarious to watch and try to tell if she's actually drunk, or just acting.
I'm asexual, I don't drink, I don't go to clubs. And yet I still feel so called out by this.
Your ability to capture and replicate the essence of literally everything is unparalleled. Also I’ve legit been wanting to try that cereal so... bonus.
😘😘😘😘
I remember going to clubs when I was 20-21 yo and there were always these 30-40 yo dudes sitting by the bar, drinking some drinks by themselves. Julie got that vibe perfectly.
When she Julie said , "when you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me"
It hit me. . .
Wait, what hit you? I just woke up.
@@MaxShirt look at her face. Look at her encapsulate the emotion bruh.
@@jasminebaar4640 Oh! True. I thought you meant you had some sudden realization and I was missing some joke lol.
I have to say this makes me feel so sorry for the character Julie is playing. Like why was she at the bar alone. Where are her friends! They should be there for her after a seven year break up, she is losing her shit.
Some people don't have those kinds of friends 😞 I guess it's a cautionary tale too, to maintain a life outside your relationship
It must be a work night for her friends
I went through this same thing a couple years ago, so I may be able to give a bit of insight here. The problem often isn’t that this character has bad/unsupportive friends or no life outside of their relationship. The problem is, once people get to a certain age, the majority of their friends will have full extremely busy lives if their own (most likely married with children). Surely their spouse doesn’t want them out sever nights a week bar hopping trying to help their friend get laid like they’re back college again. And the newly single person doesn’t often want their happily coupled friends around them all the time reminding them of what they have lost. That was my experience at least.
The friends she didn't ditch while in her relationship are coupled up themselves and don't want/aren't allowed to be out with her.
Oof, was thinking the same! I don't know where I would be now without my friends after my 7 year relationship ended
This is comedic genius. I’ve watched it 4x in a row and I’m still laughing just as hard.
A perfect encapsulation of an emotional spiral. Well done!
i can only image how the situation would be if someone call the police for a party on a house on a pandemic, and... the cops see julie dancing alone
I just turned 50 June 2022 and two grown up men two grandchildren and living on my own and decing to just do whatever I want single and very happy!
This hurts to watch!! As a 30 something too, this feels uncomfortably true to getting older, and I don't have the recently single stuff to add to it 😬
Just wait. When you get to your 40s, the real despair starts to set in.
@@dennisanderson206 y’all are so cute. What for the 60s when you’ve been out of the game for 40 years
Quit scaring the young’ns. It just gets better with age. Wisdom, authenticity, gratitude, inner peace. Or maybe it’s the meds. I dunno.
It became real to me when she started singing "Driver's License".
This was hilarious. Bonus points for including an Olivia Rodrigo song in there, i love her music.
The censor bar over her nether regions while “dancing” was epic.
who says nether regions though
@@Regimeshifts Kevin Benoit does.
Actually, a couple more minutes of her fishing around for that straw with her tongue would've also been epic.
We say nether regions...
@@Regimeshifts Individuals with versatile vocabularies.
some say she passed out before ever finding that straw, a symbol for the happiness she can no longer attain
I snorted while laughing and then spilled what I was holding while she was dancing! Killer dancing and she’s a natural drunk. I mean when she’s acting. She acts naturally drunk. Wait. Acting drunk seems to come to her naturally.
Julie is amazing actress; I was smiling so much that I couldn't even cringe.
Truth!
That's the beauty of this. It's cringeless because it is relatable and our empathy wins, but not so sad that it isn't fun.
Seen this first hand when I was doing bartending part time. Definitely accurate. Except for one thing. Usually there’s a lurker that swoops in on the good looking ones and takes advantage of their emotional state long before it gets to drunk karaoke 😬
Is the lurker good looking?:P
@@katherinetutschek4757 it's rapey regardless 🤦♀️🤦♀️

@@SeemsLikeSomething good point
When did you start doing documentaries? A relatable horror story I found almost too painful to watch. Your mirror reflects a painful litany of my social failings. Thanks. Love your work by the way!
I really think you earn your own Netflix series. The pants song can be the theme song and the CSI dead character can be the lead.
Your acting is always amazing, but this sketch particularly enjoyably highlighted your ability to really communicate the environment and people *around* you, not just your own characters. This was crazy immersive. And just the right blend of funny and Real, as always. Thanks for making your awesome videos! 💚
The "were doing shots. You too. Yes you are yes you ARE" gave me ptsd from my exp working as a bartender in Orlando. I heard that way too many times
The awkward shouting gets me every time
They eyelid droop is the lowkey MVP of this performance.
Julie throwing herself a little party for a video then proceeding to talk to herself is so quarantine…
I'm recently divorced and this gave me anxiety b.c of how spot on your portrayal was. 'golf clap'
Buddies
Anyone else, that would just be awkward and pathetic, but Nolke makes it work.
I feel sad for the girl-character in this. She's feeling hurt and loss, but don't be dumb enough to go home with her.
and all the guys in the bar like: _"imma catch a cougar tonight"_
🤣🤣🤣
"You didn't even ask for my ID" - I felt that
As a newly single dude I feel this SO MUCH
Everytime I imagine Julie doing these things in her empty apartment it just becomes more and more impressive.
I would love to see a full blown TV show starring Julie Nolke and one of her characters. Written, produced by and starring Julie. Six seasons and one movie.
