This guy really is a great storyteller.
I mean that’s his job
Let me get you up to 1k likes
Totally! but i mean it's his job lol
idk, kinda looks like hitler without the stash
Téa Jones He sucks for being a professional storyteller
I was expecting like a Bermuda Triangle story
I was totally expecting a Malasia flight sudden disappearance story.
Courtney Crowe ME TOO
well I got the vibes
SAME LMFAO
Exactly
lol same
oh that 180 degree shift in the story....
Ikr?!
Multiple times
The part were you find out he was gay
@@colbystephenson33 lmfao
Splendid ya
"and he's a foodie" "hashtag yummy" THIS KILLED ME FOR SOME REASON. Excellent storytelling.
Jamie Hawkins 666 likes lol
Ay I was 1k
I literally burst out laughing at that
Very beautifully said „even though the story that Kevin told me was a lie, the way that it made me feel wasn‘t“
Lisa Na I just gave you your thousandth like :)
I read that right as he said it!
Aaaaa
Emily Myers same here 😭😭
I came across this comment just as be said that
Moral of the story: His friend is a storyteller too.
Sir Golfwang I thought this was the real Tyler at first from looking at your profile
Ooooh snapp
Who else thought from the thumbnail his friend died from a plane crash
100k subs no vids I thought his friend went missing in a airplane 😂
100k subs no vids I thought his friend was in one of those missing flights or something
no i thought a goat took his friend because of hunger and the airline that they flew with somehow knew about the goats plans but they couldn't do anything about it because it was already sealed in fate.
I hobestly thought the friend was a drug dealer that moved to belize and disappeared there to avoid the law, because whenever I hear about Belize I hear about mobsters running away there 🤣
I thought he was going to say he got lost in the Bermuda triangle, because I know that's somewhere near Belize.
Damn I was expecting a murder mystery
This just took me on the biggest emotional rollercoaster of my life
I know right! I was getting very sympathetic then super annoyed oh my god the storytelling was great!
Ngl, they had me in the first half
Rayaan Ali
*_n O t G u N n A L i E_*
funniest comment i’ve ever seen
What does Ngl mean...?
Jessica 156 not gonna lie
Alishba Rana ohhh thank you so much 😊
I could literally imagine the story, it was like reading a book! Wow
We could like, read a book together, u know.. 😏
K.Sykes Official 🤢🤮
Guy: *sobbing*
Dog: what's happening? Wanna play?!?!?
Hello Tacos lol my dog usually gets sad and more calm when he sees me crying
Yeah my pups lick my nose and my eyes to take the tears away aha
“I HAVE A HOBBY” - what I shall say to get out of awkward conversations
Wow, totally took a turn! I went from partial sob to frustration and anger. Insane!
oliviaa torres me too! I was wiping tears away as he said “he was a drug addict” and I’m like “wait what?” 😂
This story could be a movie, like for real not joking.
Edit: It's 2020 and we are still waiting for the movie :(
Edit (again): It's 2021 and we are still waiting for the movie :(
The funny thing was i was coming up with a novel idea similar to the beginning of this story
@@christinalim2320 did you do it, I would love to read it. (its ok if you don't want to👍🏾)
For real though.
Watch Manifest on Hulu! It’s similar to this!
@@jordanbushh thanks for the recommendation 👍🏾😊
He really is a Storyteller! Wow, loved watching him tell it. Does he have a TH-cam channel?
I wanna know, too!
Marié513 yes, he’s called David Crabb!
@@maisiecollings293
😁😁😁 Crabb, I can see why
He does! It’s David Crabb
SUGAR XYLER ! Haha, thanks for telling me to slap my mom for bringing me here a few months ago!
He definitely had us in the first half-
rip Kevin :(
edit: oh wait nvm
Lmaooooo
I’m here
røs just choked on my bagel reading this comment thank you ahahahha
røs Kevin reminds me a bit of a trash can 😤
💀💀
I’m so hooked! He’s really a great storyteller. I felt the emotions too
when i tell you my JAW DROPPED
you really are an amazing story teller
When you said he had cancer I was really sad and thought of my papa who died of cancer.
**few minutes go by**
“Kevin lied about cancer and is a drug addict”
Me: **mad and sad because Kevin is suffering and he lied about cancer**
Severus Snape 😔🤚🏼
Severus Snape awww
Severus Snape I’m sorry for your father
I would listen to this guy telling stories forever!
Ok so.
Why is the title my friend went missing?
Because he didn’t really go missing?
its called clickbait and why tf does everyone use the crying laughing emoji its like the worst emoji there is
plus who uses emojis other than potato
_This story just gave me whiplash_
Itzel 😊😂😂😂😅😅
I would feel so relived figuring out he was lying. I felt guilt for this guy when he didn’t see that last message.
That hit me hard because I know many people who have died or had cancer in their life and for someone to lie about it sucks and enrages me 😞
Yeah me too this really disappoints me
My ex best friend lied to me for years about having several kinds of cancer and still does to this day. Meanwhile my aunt survived breast cancer and the uncle of my SO died from gastric cancer. This just hurts so much and I don’t know why she started it and why she still continues to do so.
My cousin died of lymphoma at a young age and this pisses me off too. The message behind this story tho... is very beautiful.
my dad died of brain cancer at 46. i felt for “kevin” so badly. i know how hard it can be. it’s so disappointing that someone would fake something like that.
I have to say though, I’m very glad Kevin seems to be past such a dark part of his life. Drug addiction leads to terrible things and if he got clean of it and found a better life for himself I’m happy for him. I hope he finds a way to apologise and make good with people from his past without risking his mental health and a relapse.
Moral of the story is you don't trust people named Kevin
mhypersonic Exactly! Lol I’ve got a sketchy ass uncle named Kevin
So my brother...🤪😂
My brother's name is Kevin
There is even a movie called "we need to talk about Kevin"
Yeah they don't even watch the light
Y’all I literately cried when he said he never saw the message with his number and then he said he was a meth addict?!?!!!
That´s unbelievable, to create such a lie. Lying and playing with other peoples feelings is really rude :(
I'm not sure it's a lie..,..
@@emam510 what do you mean? That his terminal sickness is his addiction? Or that he used it as painkillers?
@@glorychan4668 so I'm not really sure what you meant but are you saying the storyteller is lying or what?
@@emam510? Not the storyteller. I mean Kevin. Sorry if I didn't make it clear.
@@glorychan4668 which one was Kevin. Sorry I forgot, I watched the vid but I usually forget that sort of thing
I thought his friend got abducted but ok
ieeh your profile pic
u got me
ieeh sh*t you got me m8
But like... did he respond to kevin's text??
EXACTLY what I was wondering! Probably something along the lines of "Soooo...I didn't know ghosts used Facebook?"
That's what I want to know! There should be an update about calling Kevin.
If he did, I hope he flamed his ass to smoking rubble.
At the very least let anyone who was following him, if he tried the story again, let it known that the guy lied.
Next Netflix Series..
When he said friend, at the beginning I genuinely thought he was gonna start talking about his dog...
Technically, he could go and see his “friend” again 😂
This is so true about life. You heard the message you needed to hear at that time in your life. Thank Kevin for the lie. It moved you forward.and it told the story you needed at that phase of your journey. All things happen for a reason Always. Keep telling the stories. It is the greatest gift you can give future generations
"You heard the message you needed to hear at that time in your life." xoxo
ITS OKAY....IM A STORY TELLER😂
Ikr he said that he was a storyteller so basically it was not a lie just a story
Yeah, that's a record scratch of a statement.
Why do they put a green screen in the background just to make it white? Just put a white back drop in the first place 😂
Jessie Cochran sometimes, if you use a white back drop, it causes more issues than green screening one in... as I have found from excruciating experience. 😜
LOL
It reduces the shadows.
Jessie Cochran Plus, so they can do the videos and photos in The background.
Jessie Cochran
overused comment
when he said the words CRYSTAL METH i-
Well damn! That took an unexpected turn lol whoa 😮
Yes it did
Omg I started bawling my eyes out and then when it shifted OMMFG NOW IM PISSED OFF
This is sad and all but, you ever had that one friend on xbox who hasn't been online in 9 years.
What is xbox?
@@d3caf_latt3 I-
@@d3caf_latt3 omg
Synn :O
Synn how do you not know what xbox is??💕
This is hands-down the best one in this series yet!
The plot twist! Brilliant. Loved the story so much
3:27 " whats happening? Do u wanna play?" Lmaooooo
5:55 then my moods went from 🥺 to 🤭
🤐😶😯😢😟😭🤭😮
Same 😮
This Kevin dude is literally jack from fight club lol
Ha! Exactly what i thought!
I enjoyed hearing your story and even Fake Kevin's story. Please don't ever change. All of us dont deserve a compassionate friend like you but some of us do. (Waves from Belize. Gone since Mar2014. Moving back to Cali Jun2019)
Yeah I live in Belize it's really a beautiful place anyways don't lie people
Who said it wasn't
@@laughoutloud9658 lol just saying
🇧🇿🔥501
Yeah I love Belize my friends dad is making a resort there and I can’t wait to go there.
My sister is going there for a mission trip during the summer....I hope she has a great time
I have Crohn’s disease too! I’m 11 tho and a girl. I started having symptoms at age 2 but got diagnosed at age 5. I hope ur doin good in ur remission
OMG lol ... wasn’t expecting that lol
Hi
Your gift is amazing! Dont ever stop doing your story telling. The passion you have comes out with your words
Oh my god y’all had me wtf- THE TWIST
I didn’t expect to watch this video and hear him talk about having crohns because as someone who has it that really made me happy and I’m always excited to hear people talk about their experiences because they’re usually something that I can relate to
My friend disappeared video:
Content: “Don’t you love the guacamole?”
no wonder he teaches storytelling. this was mesmerizing.
that was a plot twist...
DON"T READ THE COMMENTS! Spoilers!
Too late lol
He reminds me so much of Lin Manuel Miranda lol
It’s the sweater lol
ash Durrant omg he does
ash Durrant OMG! YES!
This guys is so good at telling this story wtf I was laughing so hard
Best storyteller ever, I was hooked on every word! Please have this guy tell more stories, he is absolutely amazing! 💖👍✨📖📚
Did he ever continue talking to Kevin. What did he do witch the message. I want to hear the rest of the story
Tekoa Perry no. I disconnect from toxicity QUICK. NO MA’AM!
I wanna know too!!
Wow!!! I met someone recently who used a sob story on me and the reveal felt so earth shattering. Like how do people do this kind of thing? He turned out to be a person who just used his “backstory” to get sympathy from people/money/food/gifts. I feel for you. You’re a great story teller!
It was flight 815 and now he's chilling on an island and drinking Dharma beer.
You get it if you watched Lost
Thank you for sharing! I do think that everything happens for a reason, I’m glad you could see the good out of this sad/angry story
So a random stranger can make a best friend within 5 minutes because of a doggo
And I can make 50 enemies within 5 minutes because of my brother
How?
Sunlight UwU oo yeah spill the tea!
you are an amazing story teller and such a genuinely authentic and empathetic person
I was sad when Kevin said he had Terminal Cancer and then I realize its a lie.
When he said “oh my god you’re making your American dream come true by leaving America” I lost it
DAMN!!! That was unexpected...
David, so sorry you have Crohn's disease, I have it too it sucks. I hope you are in remission!!
Thanks so much. Actually JUST relapsed and starting Remicade soon. Ugh...
@@davidcrabb 😞 Sorry to hear that. Hopefully things start to turn back around!!
Yeah crohn’s disease sucks
this is my favorite video, I'm a young teenager and I see things like this I really see the emoiton in this. I just want to say that this is a ture capture of true pure emotion.
You really have a knack for telling a story. You made us feel all those emotions too. Great job
i did not see that coming. Jeez not only did Kevin go through so much, this must’ve been so hard for you oml
Hello darkness my old friend...
*_never sees the sun again_*
This one time i was quarantined against my will and that was the last time I saw my friend
Wow this was super cool and really well done! I’d love more stories from him
I love this guy!!! He’s the type of guy I would love to be friends with 😊. What a crazy story!
“Don’t you miss the guacamole? They can’t make Guacamole here.”
Me: Isn’t guacamole from Mexico not Texas
Manu Roblak I think it’s Tex-Mex. but correct me if I’m wrong lol
@@rosemaryaragon2917 you're wrong. It's 100% Mexican & 100% yummy.
DearJRenae ohh, well okay. Thank you!
these stories are the best thing buzzfeed ever done
The story of Kelvin is the best story ever told
*Kevin*
BUZZFEED. MY DOG WENT MISSING LAST YEAR AND IM GETTING SCARED AND LOSING HOPE. I ADOPTED HIM almost 10 years ago from the SPCA. Turns out his birthday was the same day as mine so i knew it was meant to be. Im currently not even in the same state anymore. I put out flyers i knocked on doors. He has a chip IF ONLY someone took him to a facility where he could get located IM SO SCARED IT MIGHT BE TOO LONG AND OUR BIRTHDAY IS IN LESS THAN A MONTH. He is a chihuahua/ weenie mix named Papi. I love you papi😭💔
omg i love these video's. i think this is my new favourite video. he tells it so beautifully
Oh 😕that’s such a sad story xx your such a good story teller 😊
BuzzFeed: We need to make people realize that NOTHING MATTERS

THE PLOT TWIST!!
“Im dying.”
“Oh Ive got a hobby!”
Watching this video, he really made me feel like I was watching a drama or it was happening right in front of me . Beautiful storytelling.
I'm from Belize 🇧🇿
Edit: Omg this story took a 180°. Woahh. I don't know how to feel after this story...
Omg me too!
gelin guzman 🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿
It looks beautiful there :)
gelin guzman me too ! Belize 🇧🇿
If only all BuzzFeed videos were like this one! So interesting and major turn in the story. I have Crohn's too, so cool to hear stories from another person with it.
"What's happening... do you wanna play?" 😂😂😂😂
I love this guy. I could listen to him talk all day.
Now this is a story I'll tell you that.
this should legit be a movie!
This title is hugely misleading though equally as clever
This sent me on an emotional rollercoaster
I would listen to this man tell the story of opening an envelope...
so i just watched every one of his story telling videos i could find and i am not disappointed
I have to say this... As an addict in recovery , being in active addiction is like being trapped in a cycle of death and pain and loneliness . Although lying is never the answer , I almost have deep compassion for Kevin. He probably was looking for human interaction and support. I know from experience that if you tell someone you are addicted to drugs, you will rarely be met with love and affection and understanding . However , if you tell someone you are suffering from a “real” illness (which I believe addiction is, but others don’t ), you instantly receive the love you are looking for . The reaction from my friends when I told them I was in the hospital after having 20 seizures in a row from my epilepsy was vastly different from when I told them I relapsed . When it came to the seizures , I received calls and visits and flowers. When I relapsed , nobody called, nobody reached out.
Sorry for the long post- just had to get this out. Again, lying is never ok... But let’s try to remember that addiction is a disease that kills thousands every year , and it’s a terrifying and lonely trap. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I totally hear all of this. I hope people, as angry as they are him, also see what I mean about the way he used it for compassion and empathy. Thanks for sharing this. And I hope you keep doing well.
The twist and the meta of this story pushes this into must watch territory. Wow.
David: "Am I Joke To You"
Kevin: "MhuAhHahaAhaa"
good to see we all have had a friend who lied about having cancer arent those people just the best
I love living at Belize it's so beautiful ❤ my country baby!!!
That was a rollarcoaster 😮 I went from laughing, crying, shock, crying, laughing, anger then laughter 🤣
