So here's the question - Was Tim drunk, crying on the floor surrounded by the police the whole time or is magic cup pure evil and changing Tim's reality as they talk.
Boat Mormon Bible, Book of Kyle, Chapter 2 - And Kyle came upon a red cup in the land of Walmart and he froze; His disciples gathered around him and said "Kyle, this is madness. There is no joke here"; But Kyle stood silent, scrutinizing the cup; After twofold and 3 minutes he declared "What is a joke, but the unexpected?" and called for Tim; And so, Kyle and Tim wrote a skit about the cup, and the people rejoiced; There was laughter in the the homes, laughter at slow parties, laughter all around; And when Kyle saw, he smiled; for his is the glory of making the mundane extraorinary.
"she didn't leave me, she just needed some space" "She joined the first group to colonize mars, didn't she?" "She needed a lot of space" that got me good xD
In 5th edition if you play as a warlock with a Great Old One patron, you can literally project voices into peoples minds, with or without their permission. It's not a spell (anti-magic does nothing), and thus has no casting components (you could be sitting nearby reading a book and no one would know), and you don't even need to speak the same language as your target. And, unlike Ghost Sounds or Minor Illusion, no one else will be able to hear the voices (unless you also project them into their mind).
I loved that. That was extremely cleaver. Also, I'm gonna need one of those cups, my buddies an idiot and I think SoloHelp can help him realize he's an idiot.
This went from an average man cleaning his house, to a drunk man holding a hostage from a house he robbed, due to depression from his girlfriend leaving for mars.
I don't know what to think... Was Kyle just being really perceptive, or does he have the power to actively alter reality and was using it to ruin Tim's life?
I THINK that what's happening is that every time we jump to a reality change, things are actually getting closer and closer to reality. The nice, sober, well-dressed, calm, nice man at the beginning only exists in his own imagination. The hotline is helping him become self-aware of how he is actually behaving, little by little. Ie, on the floor naked surrounded by cops screaming into a cup.
Red cup means your still in college and just woke up from too good of a night. Polystyrene cup means your in a wellness centre after being knocked out by the "medication" in said cup.
If by polystyrene, you are specifically referring to the Styrofoam form of that material, I must warn you, that's the devil's material, so you probably have a hotline to hell. Hang up quickly or the situation will only get worse.
I have to know, did you come up with the punchline first, then needed a setup for it? Or did you start with a solo cup call center first, then try to come up with an acceptable ending to it?
This was genuinely a great video, not just in the humor, but in the acting, setup, and delivery of everything. The way you guys used household objects (including some of it being recyclable) and basic surroundings in order to tell this short, humorous, and interesting story is just wonderful. Not to mention the simple yet elegant camera work! It is stuff like this that makes me excited for your The Guards Themselves sequel and various such other long-form content. :D
I have to say, of all your stuff, I think this is my favorite. Just, the clean suits of the operators against the background of whatever boxes you had laying around. I love it.
This video was made from about 17 cups, 3 Kyle's, fancy clothes, cardboard, string, a bag, a pillow, a guy taped up, a knife, a bottle, and a lack of clothes. ... ... ... Comedy. It's the best thing ever.
I love that these videos range from video games to people having an existential crisis through a red solo cup Also I have a very similar wooden watch to the one Kyle was wearing in this video. I like your style, Sir.
Angry Applesauce most things are better than cats, that is why these horrid creatures are often found near rubbish piles with many cups at once trying to contact them and tell them how awful they are...
@Angry Applesauce, after i've finished cleaning up the bloody vomit (a mark of being assailed by lloyd Webber) i shall retort. for now i'll just listen to ravel's bolero slowed down a bit. It's like listening to some of Cats but it isn't artistically tainted by by the goblin king, so it may draw out the poison and eventually leave me whole. Perhaps some 'Kit and the Widow' or Kander and Ebb shall enliven me. (wow, it looks likes my comment had more of a catty edge than i anticipated arf arf raf)
*fomoran* I thought it rather a clever way to point out the capital c as it seemed to provide a counter argument to your point. The only real question here is: did you have to look up Jellicle Cats, or did you already know it? _Jellicle Cats come out to-night_ _Jellicle Cats come one come all:_ _The Jellicle Moon is shining bright -_ _Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball._ ~T.S. Elliot
i knew of the poetry and was once tortured for having a later start time by an ex setting that damnable show as the musical alarm... regrettably i seem to still retain those Memories despite attempts to purge them as a feline might cough up a hairball. i fear that the only common ground can be found in watching this th-cam.com/video/Ii7DTyx0LNE/w-d-xo.html and taking in it's hopeful tone about possibility, pink wigs and diamonds in poo.
coming back to one of my favorite sketches and thos comment has over 700 likes, why? do we actually have a katamari following here or what, I am baffled
That moment when you are suddenly and powerfully surrounded by the ethereal and beautiful strains of Living Forever and you think you are having a transcendental Door Monster experience. You begin to see visions of Kyle, Jefferey and the ghost of White Lightning past, but then you realize you just opened your laptop and it's still playing from last night when you were binge-watching. Bottom line, Door Monster has brought a lot of joy to me and I love you guys. Hearing Living Forever is just soothing for me.
I thought this was going to be a song because it said (feat.) So my brain defaulted to this is a song and y'all brought someone along. I was very confused once I realized they was no singing or music, and then even more confused as there is a solo hotline, followed by more confusion as things escalated. I was not disappointed.... but now I want a song about cups , done by door monster heck I wouldn't care if was a song about a door monster mugs and you just make a 3 min song about why we should buy door monster brand mugs and cups. I then would buy your a mug because it wouldn't just be a mug to me it would be a mug that reminds me of the door monster mug song. Great video.
mR. iNSANITY Door monster mugs are the muggiest mugging mugs .... actually I don't think I want a mug known as the muggiest mugs sounds gross, the best mug maybe? Friendliest monster mug ? Mugs mugs mugs mugs
Kjartan The Viking reminds me of a magic mugging because the cups are magic and I'm being mugged while trying to talk about selling mugs , I'm just a simple mugs sale man being mugged how and why did life come to this.
Sweeeeet - You managed to collaborate with a relatively well-known TH-camr! Excellent work! True TH-camr Level Increased! Now to infiltrate the Dominic Fera fanbase, and make your way into the next Lazer Collection...
Allison Devery that's logical, I feel rather foolish not having noted that :/ My point still stands though regarding your influence and positive impact on the videos.
The Collective Fair point. I, for example, have multiple voices in my head, but according to my school psychologist, I am not in fact insane. I suppose, if you can't tell illusion apart from reality, I'd consider that insanity.
i... have no words for what was displayed here... it was an amazing use of cuts and such and the fact that it evolved from a guy cleaning cups after a party to suddenly being a guy who was drunk and naked, has a hostage, and who is talking into a cup because of his drunkenness... i still dont know what exactly i watched or how you got the idea but props to you guys for this i guess :P
So here's the question - Was Tim drunk, crying on the floor surrounded by the police the whole time or is magic cup pure evil and changing Tim's reality as they talk.
the second one
The company is named Selfhelp.
I think it's safe to assume that the cup is just a cup and only he is hearing those voices.
A brave thing letting others know of the true reality, i see you also have "the gift"
Eric Kimball yes
Jasper Zanovich
That's what I assumed too. It's just an unreliable narrator trope.
"Why did I have to be naked for this part?"
"You didn't, we just wanted to see if you'd do it."
Behind the scenes or sketch?
AirTerranean Yes
What?!
Whaaaaat
More purple
Poor guy will end up homeless, bearded, and selling his knife if he doesn't get his act together.
I thought his life was supposed to get worse?
@@frimi8593 no, it's this one: th-cam.com/video/3Bcfl_xixAI/w-d-xo.html
nuuuuu not the knife!
No he turns into the hobo guy with a knife
THE ORIGIN STORY!
Why do I feel like Kyle looked at a few cups one day and said "I'm gonna make this funny somehow..."
*The magic of Door Monster*
And funny he did
Boat Mormon Bible, Book of Kyle, Chapter 2 - And Kyle came upon a red cup in the land of Walmart and he froze; His disciples gathered around him and said "Kyle, this is madness. There is no joke here"; But Kyle stood silent, scrutinizing the cup; After twofold and 3 minutes he declared "What is a joke, but the unexpected?" and called for Tim; And so, Kyle and Tim wrote a skit about the cup, and the people rejoiced; There was laughter in the the homes, laughter at slow parties, laughter all around; And when Kyle saw, he smiled; for his is the glory of making the mundane extraorinary.
Success! *Achievement Unlocked: Cuptastic*
Door monster can make anything funny.
"she didn't leave me, she just needed some space"
"She joined the first group to colonize mars, didn't she?"
"She needed a lot of space"
that got me good xD
That is what they said
I didn't think that when he said 'she needed space', he meant actual, outer space.
@@Mernom Imagine the irony where she applied for him to go with her but he failed because of his instability
*a lot or space*
I just realised
Kyle is in a box office
Ha!
No no he's got a point
i watched this years ago- and only after reading your comment is it xlicking
My, that escalated quickly.
You can refer to them as Door without the Monster part. Anything can escalated quickly here.
Yeah, but not enough. The shareholders didn't get involved.
D3vious I mean, that really got out of hand fast
how the heck do you have 1.1 thousand likes on your comment but only 3 replies?!
Plot twist, this is all a DnD campaign and Kyle is casting ghost sounds and Preforming Diplomancy to convince this person that they are crazy.
In 5th edition if you play as a warlock with a Great Old One patron, you can literally project voices into peoples minds, with or without their permission. It's not a spell (anti-magic does nothing), and thus has no casting components (you could be sitting nearby reading a book and no one would know), and you don't even need to speak the same language as your target.

Oh my gosh, D&D Inception.
Greywander and that was enough to make me take a break from bard
I think it's an SCP which if answered will tell you things that become true, the longer you talk the more you are altered.
That cup has appeared to me multiple times... Wait
yup, sorry to break it to ya buddy. but you're an alcoholic sociopath
dun Dun DUNNNNNN
your prehaps still in college,
Still in controle of,
The Cup.
You need professional help.
Plaid Chickens well youre screwed
Thank you for contacting solohelp lines! How can we help you today?
*When the Bard plays as a “Pacifist”*
There’s no replies so here I will make one
theres one reply. im making a second one.
I’ll third this train. Let’s get this really rolling
Fourth to call forth.
There's 4 replies here, I'll make a fifth
That, "I'M ON THE PHONE!" gets me every time xD
i can't tell if solohelp is a pun because there's only one person working at solo, or if we just live in a world of kyle
"World of Kyle" Sounds like a TV-show I'd definitely watch.
In a World where everyone is Kyle....
Or in this case, "So Low Help", to help people see how low they've sunk.
It's because those kinds of cups are called, "solo cups."
That’s just the cup brand dude
Or it's just the cup brand....
Honestly, this just escalated my desire for an office chair made of cardboard.
"escalated"
love the implication that you've always wanted one
@@jasonkeats931 who hasnt?
You had a preexisting desire for an office chair made of cardboard? Why?
And also a solo cup headset
I wonder what it must be like to be put on hold while being called from a cup on a string? I guess you'd have to... hold the line.
Also congratulations, the Extortionist hobo is now not the most insane phenomenon.
... love it is always on time!!!
😤😧
The hold music would also most likely consist of several stringed instruments
5 years later and this is still in my Top 5 Door Monster skits, the other 4 being Hobo skits.
I love the little detail of his mic also being a cup.
Not sure if this is a look into the minds of door monster or behind the scenes to their tech setup.
It's both.
Jack de Reduvo why was I a month late to this comment....because I was going to say that too XD!)
Yes
"Called me on my... my cup..."
I think that was my favorite line.
kyle had a shit-eating grin for like 95% of the video. this must of been so fun to make.
Thing is he probably shot those scenes all by himself.
I loved that. That was extremely cleaver. Also, I'm gonna need one of those cups, my buddies an idiot and I think SoloHelp can help him realize he's an idiot.
But he was holding a knife...
It's a knife, not a cleaver
*FacePalm* I know, I was trying to be clever with with a knife/clever pun with cleaver.
I think you tried to be too cleaver there, and failed. Next time, use an icepick.
Jason E Knife to see that you took a stab a joke.
This went from an average man cleaning his house, to a drunk man holding a hostage from a house he robbed, due to depression from his girlfriend leaving for mars.
I don't know what to think... Was Kyle just being really perceptive, or does he have the power to actively alter reality and was using it to ruin Tim's life?
I THINK that what's happening is that every time we jump to a reality change, things are actually getting closer and closer to reality. The nice, sober, well-dressed, calm, nice man at the beginning only exists in his own imagination. The hotline is helping him become self-aware of how he is actually behaving, little by little. Ie, on the floor naked surrounded by cops screaming into a cup.
He is very drunk. he broke into someone house with a knife, tie the guy up as hostage, and are talking with a cup.
Perhaps Solo helplines was just his subconscious trying to bring him back to reality
well we know the helplines are real because they show up again for a bearded hobo later on-
Wait. In what video?
3 Kyles 1 cup.
Two cups actually... And a beer can and.... A jug of water?
Lol, I just came from One Punch Stan
I know of what you speak of...
I love how well my school schedule lines up so well with your episode schedule
you mean they upload right at the point that you have to go to school?
"Have to..." is a bit strong when it comes to school. "Are advised to..." might be more apt.
Well, if they're still a minor they could be charged with truancy.
I shall now await the Kyle only sketch where the Extortionist Hobo gets a call from Solohelp.
He's probably one of the Shareholders
"Please let me go".. "I'M ON THE PHONE!!" - makes me laugh every time I watch it.
If the cup that showed up for me is just polystyrene does that make me only a little bad, or completely psycho? Asking for my hostages.
Red cup means your still in college and just woke up from too good of a night.
Polystyrene cup means your in a wellness centre after being knocked out by the "medication" in said cup.
If by polystyrene, you are specifically referring to the Styrofoam form of that material, I must warn you, that's the devil's material, so you probably have a hotline to hell.
Hang up quickly or the situation will only get worse.
@@dynamicworlds1 hmmm... I hear they're hiring though. They're expanding operations to handle all the new clients this year
I have to know, did you come up with the punchline first, then needed a setup for it? Or did you start with a solo cup call center first, then try to come up with an acceptable ending to it?
We started on the cup idea first, and then worked with Tim to develop it from there by passing the script back and forth.
Years later, this is still one of your best-written sketches
Thanks to this, I now refer to crimes as “acts of evil”
This was genuinely a great video, not just in the humor, but in the acting, setup, and delivery of everything. The way you guys used household objects (including some of it being recyclable) and basic surroundings in order to tell this short, humorous, and interesting story is just wonderful. Not to mention the simple yet elegant camera work! It is stuff like this that makes me excited for your The Guards Themselves sequel and various such other long-form content. :D
This is so good! The multiple Kyles working in a cardboard office! The emotional acting of an unknown actor! This is my favourite.
I feel like we all need that cup at some point in our lifes.
Great vid guys
STILL GREAT 5 years later!
I have to say, of all your stuff, I think this is my favorite. Just, the clean suits of the operators against the background of whatever boxes you had laying around. I love it.
*sees video
*laughs at cup joke
*sees red cup with string beside me...
oh well...
this has constantly been one of my top three videos from you guys
You know what would really funny is if the hobo who wants milk calls them. I’d love to see that skit
Awww man I wanted to see a round table with a bunch of Kyles all talking over each other (the 'shareholders')
This video was made from about 17 cups, 3 Kyle's, fancy clothes, cardboard, string, a bag, a pillow, a guy taped up, a knife, a bottle, and a lack of clothes.
...
...
...
Comedy.
It's the best thing ever.
3 years after, still gold.
yep :D rip these tho :(
I lost it at the end. You guys are great and hilarious. Keep up the good work! I can't wait until you get more recognition.
Thank you so much :D
This is legitimately still the weirdest video you guys have ever made. And I adore it.
I love those diplomancers that have such high charisma that they can physically change the fabric of reality through their lies
I legitimately started to choke on my mid lecture muffin, at the you are incredibly drunk cut. One of the best sketches yet.
Okay truth be told I once got so drunk I was talking to a bowl of easy mac as if I was on the phone with my ex girlfriend.
How much cheese did you get in your ear?
Timothy McLean ask the girlfriend😉
omg did you talk to kyle???
Bard rolling a nat 20 on all charisma checks be like
This is deeper than what was initially perceived.
This is still one of my favorite skits ever.
This has more twist, turns, and surprises than a lot of shows through out a season
He should have yelled "I'm on the CUP!" at the end.
So I'm not the only one who thought that.
I love that these videos range from video games to people having an existential crisis through a red solo cup
Also I have a very similar wooden watch to the one Kyle was wearing in this video. I like your style, Sir.
Haha, whoever has been doing the English captions, I applaud you sir, as one fanboy to another.
Dustin Buckley Thanks :) Gotta work a bit on timing on this one though. You can see the name at the bottom of the description.
"Woah, woah, woah, Calm down Tim. I'm on your side"
What a classic line
10/10 _"I laughed. I cried. It was better than Cats."_
Angry Applesauce most things are better than cats, that is why these horrid creatures are often found near rubbish piles with many cups at once trying to contact them and tell them how awful they are...
@Angry Applesauce, after i've finished cleaning up the bloody vomit (a mark of being assailed by lloyd Webber) i shall retort. for now i'll just listen to ravel's bolero slowed down a bit. It's like listening to some of Cats but it isn't artistically tainted by by the goblin king, so it may draw out the poison and eventually leave me whole. Perhaps some 'Kit and the Widow' or Kander and Ebb shall enliven me. (wow, it looks likes my comment had more of a catty edge than i anticipated arf arf raf)
*fomoran*
I thought it rather a clever way to point out the capital c as it seemed to provide a counter argument to your point. The only real question here is: did you have to look up Jellicle Cats, or did you already know it?

i knew of the poetry and was once tortured for having a later start time by an ex setting that damnable show as the musical alarm... regrettably i seem to still retain those Memories despite attempts to purge them as a feline might cough up a hairball. i fear that the only common ground can be found in watching this th-cam.com/video/Ii7DTyx0LNE/w-d-xo.html and taking in it's hopeful tone about possibility, pink wigs and diamonds in poo.
I learned of Cats because of my upstairs neighbor's 6-7 year old son had a CD and a penchant for loud music. ;)
I keep coming back to rewatch this one over and over. Truly one of the best videos on all YT, ever.
at 1:42 kyle could not help smirking
This is one of my favorite skits from door monster. Idk why i just keep coming back to it.
Is it a cuping mechanism? Would you say it's a wake-up call?
... glad to see your collab with Better Tim. It was a wired video, though.
LforLight More like a Way-Cup call!
You got me there. Well done.
I love Tim's range from totally functional to far off the wagon.
Kyle why do you look like the guy from katimari?
What says he isnt
he is not the king of all comsos!
coming back to one of my favorite sketches and thos comment has over 700 likes, why? do we actually have a katamari following here or what, I am baffled
Friends: Tf2 is dyeing
Me: I THINK THATS A VERY INCORRECT OBSERVATION!
OMG why did it take me 4 years to realize that Nathan Solohelp has Han Solo in his name x.X
this makes me giggle everytime i watch it, its just fantastic xx
So Jack and Dean either stole this joke, or just had the same idea.
That moment when you are suddenly and powerfully surrounded by the ethereal and beautiful strains of Living Forever and you think you are having a transcendental Door Monster experience. You begin to see visions of Kyle, Jefferey and the ghost of White Lightning past, but then you realize you just opened your laptop and it's still playing from last night when you were binge-watching.
Bottom line, Door Monster has brought a lot of joy to me and I love you guys. Hearing Living Forever is just soothing for me.
I thought this was going to be a song because it said (feat.) So my brain defaulted to this is a song and y'all brought someone along. I was very confused once I realized they was no singing or music, and then even more confused as there is a solo hotline, followed by more confusion as things escalated. I was not disappointed.... but now I want a song about cups , done by door monster heck I wouldn't care if was a song about a door monster mugs and you just make a 3 min song about why we should buy door monster brand mugs and cups. I then would buy your a
mug because it wouldn't just be a mug to me it would be a mug that reminds me of the door monster mug song. Great video.
It's a bit muggy in here...
mR. iNSANITY Door monster mugs are the muggiest mugging mugs .... actually I don't think I want a mug known as the muggiest mugs sounds gross, the best mug maybe? Friendliest monster mug ? Mugs mugs mugs mugs
Kjartan The Viking reminds me of a magic mugging because the cups are magic and I'm being mugged while trying to talk about selling mugs , I'm just a simple mugs sale man being mugged how and why did life come to this.
When I watch this, there is a certain shade of yellow that perfectly describes this video...
Pure Gold.
I feel like I have to watch the What video now, just to help process my thoughts on this video.
Foxworth
That is an incredibly good idea.
What?!
What?
Nah guys, do it more like Matt Locke
Why don't you just get Matt Locke?
Peak door monster
“She joined the first group to colonize Mars, didn’t she?”
“Well,She needed a lot of 𝙎𝙋𝘼𝘾𝙀”
Oh i get it,Mars and space very funny
I love that little satisfied laugh at 1:42. The small details really do matter; they add something more.
You guys are so awesome and have such a witty sense of humor.
You deserve all that you get and far more!
Thanks for always making me laugh!
The fact that it escalates so quickly is amazing
the last line was not purple enough
Idk man, it tasted purple to me
I always love coming back to this video and appreciating the SoloHelp Lines reality warping powers as they slowly change the reality of Tim's life.
Would the reception improve with a bottle?
Ketsueki Kumori I think reception improves after a couple of bottles!
Ba Dum Tsss.
This may be the most grounded piece of sci-fi media I've ever seen
I suspect that drunk hobo also killed a chicken with a man and is Greg's accomplice.
I'm not sure how many times I've watched this but it definitely has not been enough times.
We've all had nights like these amirite?
These videos always lighten up my otherwise horrible mondays. Thank you for that.
This should be a movie. The narrator would try to make the main character realize who he really is
This is how I talk when my nephew gives me a toy phone...
What is this drug?
Coco Cola powder, tastes like crap but it costs two cents
Huh, I thought it was weed...
Just alcohol
its called Door Monster my friend
alcohol
That final “I’m on the phone!” gets me every time.
Sweeeeet - You managed to collaborate with a relatively well-known TH-camr! Excellent work! True TH-camr Level Increased!
Now to infiltrate the Dominic Fera fanbase, and make your way into the next Lazer Collection...
These videos remind me of LoadingReadyRun before they stopped doing regular skits and essentially became a streaming channel. Keep up the great work!
You guys ever considered collaborating with Loading Ready Run?
This is by far the most surreal thing I've seen in this channel
He should have just played beer pong. Drink to forget but always remember
I keep coming back to this video every few months so that I can prepare for my inevitable SoloHelp cup call
Classic ❤
this follows the improv rule of "yes and" and i find that hilarious
I don't regret subscribing to this channel. No, I do not. Thank you.
This is clearly an SCP
That was great. Needs more Alison.
Didn't you do the photography? So even if you are not in the video, you're influence is plain to see.
That said, needs more Ian.
I do believe the perfect amount would have been to see our sword carrying heroine grinding for her "bald necked chocobo" in the background
Just seems like the environment one could something terrible. Repeatedly.
Allison Devery that's logical, I feel rather foolish not having noted that :/
My point still stands though regarding your influence and positive impact on the videos.
This is a really early example of Kyle fragmentation, come to think of it.
We are surprised we have never gotten this call
To be fair, I'm pretty sure that guy never actually got any sort of call. He's just insane.
Feste the Phule This is probably true
The Collective
Yeah. Just to clarify, it's impossible for you to go insane, right?
Feste the Phule That depends on what you consider insane
The Collective
Fair point. I, for example, have multiple voices in my head, but according to my school psychologist, I am not in fact insane.
I suppose, if you can't tell illusion apart from reality, I'd consider that insanity.
i... have no words for what was displayed here... it was an amazing use of cuts and such and the fact that it evolved from a guy cleaning cups after a party to suddenly being a guy who was drunk and naked, has a hostage, and who is talking into a cup because of his drunkenness... i still dont know what exactly i watched or how you got the idea but props to you guys for this i guess :P
