Please consider supporting the disrupt team through giving a "super thanks!" 100% of the money from the "super thanks" comments goes directly to the editors of this video. disrupt does not take a cut.
Great to know.
Interesting
about time you fund something else
@@hapsti huh?
Woo
*“YOU ARE STILL WATCHING DISRUPT”* - Words I never knew sounded so good together.
This is what we want.
@serryn don’t give bots attention, just report and move on
@serryn W first ratio L second ratio
@serryn bro lost to his own 2nd ratio, ain't no way
YES YES YES
Me when I saw all the videos on the situation: (Panik)
Me when I hear this: (Kalm) ;w;
Cortana, Siri, Google Assistant etc are just Bonzi Buddy but won't crash your computer whilst wearing sunglasses
lmao

@@Fingernamedkid7 ur not funny
hey look he paid for youtube
@@dxl9 and you're a dolphin
I kinda miss Jak's narration, but I'm glad to see the channel continuing with the videos, and I'll keep supporting you guys
Same, his voice was basically made for this type of video.
Same but it’s for the best ig
All things must come to an end, someday. To have known and enjoyed is enough. Farewell Jak.
it’s the writing this video. Many of the statements were repetitive
I remember back when radio was still actually important, I listened to this one show that would change the intro voiceover narrators every 2 years... without fail *every* time listeners would get so mad and call in about the change (basically only providing engagement & content for the show to bash the complainers in their case) but as the months wore on, you barely even notice or remember the old voice anymore.
If that doesn’t happen with us here, *then* something is really wrong
You've handled the aftermath of this situation extremely well. Keep people focused on your great content and they'll soon forget about the drama.
@@recitationtohear air fryer moment
What happened?
@@ziglind let me know if you know
eeehhhhh…. I need the disrupt voice
Wtf are u talking about nigga
The editors are doing a great job!
Goat
nice guy, i bet they appreciate your donation
forreal! Jordan is also doing a great job narrarating, I'm ngl I enjoy the setup of this much more compared to the previous vids. Keep it up dude I hope to see Disrupt thrive
@@gustavofrbesidk if you're sarcastic but its 40 rupees, that's not even half a dollar.
@@Chin-ny4kj oh wait lmao got scammed lol
Great job on the video.
So glad to have this content back!!! But the sound mixing could do a bit better imo, the background sounds are just as loud as the narration. But I'm glad we're getting back to content :D
I will look into the volume balancing for the next one! Thanks for your feedback!
@@jeffiot keep up the good work 💪
Comparing to older videos, maybe increasing frequencies at 5kHz("Presence" region) could bring you closer to past mixing. Or maybe use a MatchEQ plugin
@@nathanlopes1327 that's a good call. the muddiness might come from the difference in voices, there could def be some more mids or highs in the VO. I'll look into it for the next one!
Agreed. Pretty sure it's because there's not as much bass to Jordan's voice and the music and noises overpower him a bit just a slight tweek needed ❤️
Very glad to see the content again, despite the entire drama with Jak. Much love Disrupt
*th-cam.com/video/mCfYi7634rU/w-d-xo.html*
Finally its here *YES*
what exactly was the drama of it? didn't pay much attention to the whole interaction
@@scoob66 there wasn’t any drama, this dude wanted people to buy “shares” of his TH-cam channel so he would keep making videos, dude’s a scammer
@@PainSandwich as in Jak wanted that?
@@scoob66 basically, jak made a video a while ago that’s deleted now, in which he promotes the viewers to “invest” in disrupt and basically a pay a certain amount to “own” a part of the channel. Logistically, it’s all bs, and it was soon found that jak was just tryna scam 500k out of the viewers because he was in debt.
Bonzi Buddy looks like a rejected Donkey Kong character that we never knew he existed. He maybe have a friendly personality, but not friendly towards your computer.
Link to the clip you all wanted

@@CantTellYou It's sentient.
Expand dong
Informative, comedic and a fresh take on the Disrupt style of videos! Looking forward to more!
Dude, I loved the sound of Jak's narrating and was worried about it going forward, but Jordan fucking slaps too.
I love jaks narration
@@sr29_ I love jak’s narration too, but I’ll take Jordan given the circumstances.
Yea nah jaks voice suited way better
Honestly I’d take Jak anyway lol
Eh this guys was ear bleeding to listen too
I love these videos and the idea behind Disrupt. Please keep going and remember to take a break if you need one.
Much love from Germany

It seems so obvious to us now, but I can't imagine it was easy to spot malware back when most people were just using the internet for the first time. Some of the other viruses you've covered could totally still get me to this day, but BonziBuddy was a product of its time. An interesting historical footnote.
Glad to have this type of contents back !
Thanks for another amazing visual documentary of the internet's weird and wonderful history
This is the atmosphere, that early internet lost in the cyberspace vibe that I love from your team. I thought when I saw the video, that it was all over, I thought Jak was disrupt, but to find out you have a whole dedicated team behind this project gave me so much hope. Seeing it pay off is truly nice.
Man, just keep doing *this*. Seriously. This right here.
Long live Disrupt. Thank you for not giving up.
"the friendly purple monkey that stole the world's hearts, was found to be stealing everyone's personal information instead" is such an amazing line
“And by changing name multiple times, it’s still stealing your information every single day” - Light, most probably.
So happy to see you guys back on your feet after everything that has happened with this channel. You found a unique style of content and I am glad you are still making it!
Thanks, peeps. I needed this dose of nostalgia.
Thank you. This is Disrupt. I remember Bonzi Buddy. It was astounding in its day. I was involved in compsec at the time, and was blown away how this worked and how popular it was.
Oh, and voice synthesis? That was way cool. On a completely different topic, sorta, I remember when the first mainstream, 'voice command' software was released. Being able to command your computer entirely by voice was groundbreaking, yet came ahead of the required computing power the average user had access to without taking out a loan.
This is a certified hood classic! I remember first encountering Bonzibuddy because of Vargskeletor Joel's streams
Uncle Jobel also introduced me to this hot mess of a software
@@OfficialDragunV Say the line Joey!
@@404sutibi7 they're dangerously cheesy
Love the content keep it up yo 🥰😝♥️😳
Great job team getting back on the horse and producing content
cool video
Probably some of the best editing on a Disrupt video so far.
Keep it up. We need more disrupt
:D
The fact that Vargskelethor Joel basically saved BonziBuddy from obscurity will forever be one of the best things ever.
He was a legend.
Thanks!
Amazing work on every video Disrupt, it’s been a habit of mine lately to put on a few videos of yours before I go to sleep. The quality of your videos are truly amazing.
- much support from the US.
Glad to see Disrupt is back!
glad disrupt is back after the controversies
Thanks for the amazing work!
Great content. Love seeing this channel producing quality stuff.
"You are still watching Disrupt"
You bet your sweet bippy I am!
It really shows how eager the team has been to get back to work, the quality on this video was insanely good!
I just happened to stumble upon this channel he other day and I have to say that these videos are some of the most well produced and immersive videos out there. Great channel!
I love that you were able to bounce back after recent events. Also, you've got a great voice for this kind of video!
Man disrupt without his voice is just not Disrupt any more
Yesss!! Finally another video like this! Love these, hope everything goes well with you and the channel!
same
The whole controversy really threw a wrench in things, but I’m glad to see more content. Wish things would have worked themselves out with you guys, but the key is in the quality and content of your videos, not just the narration. Thing will always happen, and it’s about how you pick yourself up and brush yourself off and keep moving forward. Glad to see it being only a small trip up and not the downfall of the whole channel. Good luck moving forward!
So happy for you guys to finally be back, I absolutely love these videos. Wishing you all the luck in the world going forward!
“Nice to meet you, Expand Dong!” BonziBUDDY 2014
It's *magic* Joel, it's *magic.*
Disrupt is more than just a voice... It's arguably the best TH-cam channel! Thanks for coming back!
I almost gave up on this channel, i didn't bother watching the q&a after watching the future of disrupt video. But hearing a different voice than the money grabber's on this one i instantly felt calm. If that dude's gone from the team y'all are better off. The editors and your narration compliment each other perfectly. I'm looking forward to see where this goes.
i think they should've kept him for narration but thats it
I'm So glad this channel is making great content again. My fav channel on youtube by far!
always loved these videos and after a big digital hiatus im glad this was one of the first ones ive seen since im back
Really miss Jak's narration. The mysterious voice fit the themes of the channel very well, but hey congrats on controlling the situation!
This is so much better than all the other bonzi buddy videos, u actually explain why it’s a virus and I actually get what you mean. Good job Disrupt team :)
I miss Jak's narration for sure, but knowing what he did I'm just glad the channel can keep running like it always has.
Yo, Disrupt! Just wanted to say how grateful for this video I am, been waiting for this for a whole year! Thanks so much!
Man I'm so sad that Jak did what he did. I am going to miss his voice SO much... this just doesn't hit the same.
Yeah, that voice was perfect for this stuff imo. Just ain't the same. Still glad he's gone though.
What happened?
@@HaitiSpaceAgency Basically Jak tried to do something shady with the Disrupt company.
@@HaitiSpaceAgency Search up the TH-cam channel Coffeezillia. He specialises in internet and financial scams and he did a good summary video about the whole matter. Basically, Jaks was trying to sell overpriced shares in Disrupt because he was in debt. Considering how long he has been teaching us about shady behaviour on the internet, it was certainly ironic in a bittersweet way.
Edit: the video I'm referring to is called "Don't buy this TH-cam Channel"
Hits better, Jak's voice was too bassy and muffled it was painful to listen to sometimes.
Even that quick mention of Clippy is bringing back my PTSD flashbacks 😤
Love the new content. Narration is great too, imo :)
Great piece about BonziBuddy. I also LOVE the fact you're using the Ultra-Wide aspect ratio mode for this. Thank you.
I always thought it was Bonzai Buddy. I loved that little guy as a kid, and never knew he was such a sneaky boi.
This video was a revelation for me.
The edits on this video are amazing and fun to watch. Great video to start up the relaunch of the channel
it will never be the same without jaks narration, but im so glad disrupt is still operating
i like jordan more to be honest
Holy shit finally a regular video. this is all I wanted from this channel lately. Thanks.
monkey virus, now where have i heard that before...
Glad the regular videos are back, and they're just as surreal as usual.
Its just not it without Jak's deep mysterious voice and that robo voice saying numbers
Jak's voice sucks, this one is much better
I honestly did as well. When he couldn’t help but laugh at the whale exploding episode, it was incredibly striking- since I was so totally lost in his serious narration. But what Jack did will not be forgotten…
Been sitting in this video deciding whether I want to watch it but ultimately glad I did. Glad disrupt is back in the right path again.
#BringBackJac
Finally some "positivity" with a friendly virus
Probably shoulda watched the video before saying this lol
@@RatRacer 😅
@@RatRacer ik what bonzi buddy does thats why its in quotation marks
Channel appeal: content, visual presentation, VOICE!
Without your voice, it looses its soul.
R.I.P. diSrUPt
phat w for the channel
I’ve been reading recent comments on these videos and idk what people are on about I’m really liking the newer videos especially this one the more chill style of this video especially the more comedic edits and how it wasn’t so serious all the time has got to be my all time fav on the channel great job disrupt honestly
This is late but people are referring to the fact that this isn’t jak (the original voice of the channel). People are voicing their support for the video’s quality remaining the same despite not being voiced by jak. Jak didn’t die but he is a scammer who has refused to say apologize or explain his actions.
SO many comments from people talking about the former situation of the studio without knowing anything about it. Hope you all are not taking their negativity to heart, I'm sure it'll fade soon. In the meantime the team delivered a great video on an interesting subject 🙏 Good video topic, absolutely stellar editing, and Jordan, you killed it on the narrating ✊ Good luck with the content to come
This has got to be the comeback of the century. Great video! Would love for you guys to start a patreon and show us how you make videos like this!

The more optimistic-ish feel to this vid is a nice palette cleanser actually. The sort of grim vibe of most of the videos is great but can make it hard to binge sometimes. Love this channel, keep on moving!
After watching this I've realized how stale Jack's virus videos had gotten. It's a breath of fresh air to see these be taken in a new direction, one where it's still the same vibe but it doesn't take itself too seriously.
gotta agree. he was more focused on fancy animations and putting himself on screen with the same general tone of voice thru the whole video, every video. this video is fresh And fun to look at :)
@@pillboys the new guy is literally just impersonating jak
"You are still watching Disrupt"
I love that! Been some drama but were all still here to enjoy some Disrupt
There are a ton of grammatical errors, it's almost as if you didn't even bother error correcting, good job editor.
Omg finally got rid of that terrible asmr narration of whispering and long pauses. This narration is so much better than the older videos!!
RIP bonzi buddy, you will be greatly missed. Hopefully Alexa could learn a thing or two about your charm and enticement.
Honestly thought at first i missed jaks
Narration but this quickly grew oncme within 2 minutes to feel more authentic and still works very well. Love it glad you are still pushing through so well keep it up we wont leave!!
I might be in the minority here but I quite enjoyed Jordan''s voice over Jak's. I suspect his style will change as he does more voice work for Disrupt's youtube channel and I think as a start this is great. Maybe the cadence and style of these videos suits Jak's deeper voice but I think Jordan's voice is very engaging and less distracting. There's also a certain intelligence behind it that suits these kinds of videos, it's quite "journalistic" if I can say that. The editors did a great job as well. I hope the channel manages to find it's feet again and we can get more content like this in the future. Good luck guys.
same here!
yes yes yes! it's a new era for disrupt! the narration is better than before.
Even though it feels like a completely different video with different editing and narrator, it definitely hasn't lost any quality.
It could use some fine tuning but it's better than the nothing I thought we would get after the whole Jak situation.
I don't think i enjoy it quite as much because it's just not what I've gotten used to, but there's nothing really "worse" about it (maybe narration but idk)
Super thanks. The editors on these videos are so good
he didn't even mention vinesauce joel
im disappointed
Nowadays, this type of software is just called “Norton Antivirus”
I’m not going to lie, this channel feels different now that jak’s gone. Don’t get me wrong- it’s a good thing he’s not there anymore. However, he really did play a key role in the channel’s feel: he was the human one can connect to watching the video. It feels more personal, it feels like *his* channel, and now that he’s been replaced with a disembodied voice, I don’t feel that same connection. Before this channel felt like lemmino, now it kinda feels like vox- artificial, corporate. I guess you could say I formed a parasocial relationship with jak, but regardless of what you call it something feels different. None of this is to say the channels all gone to shit now - far from it, the editing is still incredible, everything I like about “old” disrupt is there - expect for that little personal connection I had with jak.
Bruh, Jak literally tried scamming his fanbase into paying off his debt so he can own 100% of the channel(he also tried fucking over the current narrator by forcing him out of the company). I have no clue how you still have any liking to the old narrator.
Move on my guy
I agree, Jak was an incredible narrator, but I’d much rather have a trust worthy narrator than a scummy money grubbing narrator with a nice voice.
@@Chadmlad Fact is, no one cares. His voice had the right accent & bass to fit perfectly with the depth of these videos, and it added to the overall aesthetic; Jak's voice was better for this. This is a fact, his actions outside of narration are irrelevant.
@@KevinJohnson-cv2no Truth
@kevin exactly. Stealing your grandma's coleslaw doesn't make you a terrible artist, you either have recognized talent or not. Not only did Jax voice fit the hacking narrative, but the dark music was perfect for the thriller genre. And now this upload brings us freakin Sesame street tunes? Who thought that was a good idea to COMPLETELY change the mood of every preceding virus documentary on this channel? People are going to have a better time turning on their microwave and listening to The Batman OST.
*YOU ARE STILL WATCHING DISRUPT*
Yeah, and I'm happy we're back to the regularly scheduled content.
Please don't use videos like these to undermine or erase Vargskelethor's great influence in BonziBUDDY's resurgence. Arguably, if it weren't for Joel's Windows XP destruction stream in 2014, we wouldn't be so interested in BonziBUDDY.
Welcome back, and in superwide to boot.
I definitely miss jaks voice. Despite the drama he was a great narrator. Glad to see great content moving forward.
i like the new good vibes of disrupt been missing this from a long time
I wouldn't mind having Jak just a a narrator. Love his voice.
I am very glad to see some new content from your team! Looking forward to seeing y’all grow
Honestly just hire Nexpo to narrate he sounds a lot like Jak
i cant see that he sounds different
Bonzi buddy was so ahead of its time. Now this kind of behaviour is now the norm for apps
being completely honest, I know jack was kind of a loser for trying to pay off his debt and keeping everyone in the dark about everything, but I liked his voice a lot and felt like it added a lot to this hacker/virus series.
sucks that things had to happen this way and I understand why he had to be booted, but this series definitely wont be the same for me.
so what happened?
great to have another banger video from you guys and not a cleanup video
where did the last voiceover guy go? i liked him :(
It just doesn’t feel the same anymore
Imagine if BonziBuddy was made now, with the level of AI that we have. Scary.
Well... Technically google assistant and others lol
So glad things are back to normal, your videos are the best
