The fact that his response to someone saying they don’t like crows is to tell them more about crows so they’ll understand just how wrong their opinion is? Chefs kiss
Ohhhh. He's very autistic lol. What a sweet guy, he's totally right, Ayda is the best. I rewatch her telling Fig she never found love before and I sob every time.
I dont mind being outside if im in nature and theres no other people around but theres always people around and theyre always drinking loudly and seemingly throwing gunpowder into their bonfire in the middle of the day with how loud theyre being in the forest like find an abandoned toys r us parking lot and do that shit there!!
Now I need to know everyone's best dishes. Mine is Chow Mein, Pad Thai with tofu, whatever the breakfast sampler is, or chicken tikka masala w/ butter naan.
Hey it doesn't always have to be the best dish, sometimes it just needs to have enough of the good condiment. What do you mean sriracha doesn't go on toast?
When Brennan started to read the Wikipedia article on the etymology about cheesecake, I got so mad that they kept riffing because I was genuinely invested 😂
I’m watching this video and as I get deeper into it, I’m thinking, “There must be a single clip in here that I don’t personally relate to and haven’t done the same thing or something similar.” …….. Wait,
This is correct and you’re right. Mr mulligans neurotype is between him and god but damn if I don’t feel represented by the sheer autism emanating from every single one of these clips. It’s been driving me up the wall since I started consuming his content. Thank you for your service.
@@willowhealy453 specifically when he said that playing ayda aguefort is relaxing because it feels like “turning off some switches in his brain” THATS THE MASKING SIR (that one hit me different I guess)
Coming back and seeing Mike Trapp ask Brennan about how pool tables work in outer space after seeing Brennan compliment Mike with no hesitation makes the line "If I don't hit a joke in this explanation it's because I got too excited about thinking about how that would work" really reflects in a different way, especially seeing how Trapp seems genuinely engaged.
Hating the exploitation of the masses in the name of profit and loving getting to prove your abilities in friendly competition are two concepts that can and do coexist.
6:18 his mom's reaction to this moment in her son's life being "well, I guess that's a thing." is literally my own mother's reaction to a lot of my autistic traits as a child lmao (me cracking open acorns and lining up weevil larvae as a child for fun: "Oh, well that's a thing.")
Shortly after i was diagnosed, my mom got in contact with another mom whos kid is autistic and we became playmates. We were playing in the sand and a grown man in his 40s started bullying my friend and my mom didnt know what to do but i did and i got on all fours and barked at him like a rabid dog until he left. And my mom went "oh my 4yo autistic son solved this problem bc he doesnt care what people think of him. So thats a thing and i should do that too" and she did. Not literally but she doesn't get pushed around anymore when it comes to being an advocate for others and herself. Shes a lot like brennens mom.
Man it must be so good to have had your parents accept you like that. It took me until nearly Brennan's age to even allow myself to accept that I might be autistic because of my parents' insistence that I was fine and "normal" my whole life.
@@TheBillingerCrew I'm definitely lucky. Some of them it of course took her a long time to realize I couldn't change certain things about myself and that it only caused us both unnecessary stress trying to change it, but overall I definitely do feel very lucky, especially because I never got officially diagnosed until I was 18 (although she had her suspicions)
There are lots of crow roosts close to me, I count it as a privilege, especially when they come to one place to feed en masse - I adore feeding them, I sometimes try to film them, and just recently on a walk with my (bird nerd) Dad, he was certain he heard a raven nearby and I've been fixating on the idea that there are ravens semi-local to me for like two straight weeks now
I am extremely proud to be from the crow capital of the world, Chatham Ontario. We have so many fucking crows. The trees look like they have black leaves in fall because they’re just full of crows. At a certain time in the evening they all move to the river trees to rest and it’s just twenty minutes of thousands and thousands of crows flying over your house.
My favorite crow story scientist were testing their intelligence by giving 1 crow a straight wire and a curved wire the where they needed to use the straight wire to retrieve food. So they put in 2 crows expecting them to fight over the straight wire. These beautiful birds worked together to straighten the curved wire so they'd both have one.
I just finished up my last undergrad finals ever. The image of a tiny Brennan asking his mom if he did something wrong after a bunch of adults took advantage of a polite little gentleman was the final straw and I am on the floor in TEARS
The chicken dish fuck-marry-kill is SO fucking relatable as someone with AuDHD, I take these things so seriously and seeing Brennan play the game in EXACTLY the way I would is so validating. It's no game, this id life-or-fucking-death and these lovely dishes are on the line.
Yup, us autistic people must understand the rules, those rules must make sense to us and we must agree with them or we won't follow them no matter how hard you push us. But when we do understand those rules and agree with them, oh boy we will die on that hill as many times as it takes.
8:50 is the moment the hyperfixation double zoomed in his brain, and the growing response from Ally for the 20 seconds leading up as the friend who revels in the info dump is wonderful.
Brennan's mom talking about him holding the door to a muffin place for a bunch of adults who just walked in without even thinking about it -- my parents tell almost the exact same story about me. They almost lost me in a mall because I had stayed to hold the door for people while they went on ahead.
brennan buying a burger from the same restaurant instead of making one himself makes sense, though! i'm autistic, and one of my favorite sandwiches is from Subway. i've tried making it myself, and it ends up being sad and nowhere close to what i wanted. some things can only be made in certain environments to fit sensory needs!!!
You may have already tried or know this but something most people don't take in account for recreating sandwiches from restaurants is that you have to wrap the sandwich in paper because it helps all the flavors come together
Anytime Brennan and Erika are together I feel so seen as a neurodivergent person. There was a thing from Worlds Beyond Number a while ago that fully made me weep. (For anyone familiar, it was when Ame got her memories back. The bit about being comfortable in “deep water” and not understanding why that made other people uncomfortable.) Brennan has so many little moments of insight like that that I wish I could’ve heard as a kid. Makes me happy that there’s probably a kid in a similar position who *can* hear that and see themselves in it now. Storytellers are so important.
It enrages me so much the other direction because a: I don’t eat out that often so definitely could not order most places without a menu and b: I’m vegetarian so ordering at most restaurants is just looking through the menu to find the one or two vegetarian options if they exist at all
i'm the most indecisive bitch to ever do it, not gonna lie. i know i like the same 5 things, and yet i always want to try something new because "what if it's better???" and then i always choose the first thing i wanted anyways. i don't eat out with people without checking out the menu beforehand so we don't get held up by me LMFAOOOO
He makes fun of Grant saying "live in a fantasy world where you try new things," and I'm sitting here asking how is that fantastical. I don't eat out terribly often at all, but when I do I always have one of the specials or something that is new or unique to that place because I think "what's the point in eating out if I get something too familiar." If push comes to shove i can, but variety *is* the spice of life
I have food allergies so I need to look at the menu. I also don't eat out too often so my palette doesn't know. Once I eat at a place safely, I'll get the same thing every time though.
I don't think Brennan needs to get tested by any means but I think we all welcome him with open arms to our community regardless, we relate to him constantly and he clearly relates to us enough to feel confident and comfortable portraying a canonically autistic character (in a very relatable and realistic way)
i was not prepared for the bit at 35:54 i never seen that bit before and the amount of upset i felt at that bit brought me to literal tears. i have been in the situation where people touch me and talk to me like that and it is extremely uncomfortable. i mean it's obviously dramatized a little, but its basically what i've experienced
Brennan's comment on the most recent fireside chat at the wbn patreon about how a thing he does that he thinks is normal being judged by other ppl as weird is one of the things that most terrifies him is very relatable to this video
the intro to this video is how i learned that brennan has never publicly identified as autistic like i figured we all just knew and were being cool about it
9:37 this is extremely autism-coded behavior and even if Brennan isn't confirmed to be autistic i don't know of many neurotypicals who display this sort of moral belief system this young. Like this genuinely sounds like something I'd do as a kid, or even now.
You sweet, poor fool. Space pool is a 3 dimensional game. I blame the props department for bringing a terrestrial pool table instead of a space pool table.
I really appreciate the caption up front (as an AuDHD person myself), especially since I keep encountering people who exhibit VERY STRONG neurodivergent traits, but because they don't experience it as a disorder they get very confrontational when anyone suggests they're on the spectrum. Even people who admit they have immediate family who are ND, but they insist that they themselves are "JUST QUIRKY". Like, I get that armchair diagnosis is a problem, not everyone benefits from even professional diagnosis, but sometimes it feels like it has the opposite effect to what you describe with Brennan - instead of feeling seen, it can feel like being disavowed. Maybe if more people use a degree of tact (like you have), it'll make people feel less scrutinized/attacked
Jess Ross's "Wait??? WHAT???" when Brennan talked about the front underwear flat was one of the most queerly wholesome things I have ever seen. Almost like "they get pockets AND a dick hole?" was going to be the followup if Brennan didn't escalate it just immediately escalate the bit
I wish they'd let him go off with his avian special interest. I want to hear a full podcast length episode of bird facts he finds to be neat. EDIT: after watching the video in full i will correct this to "animal facts in general"
Okay the menu short is my holy book. The first time i saw it was the same night i had the exact same arguement with my friends. It was getting late and we wanted to order food. I basically gave the same thing as Brenan "I order the best food each time!" Fast forward an hour later and we are eating Wattaburger and watching old CH/Dropout shorts and we got to that one. My friends and I never laughed so hard at one. Combine that with mw being the DM of our DnD game and I am now the Brennan of our friend group.
If I was hanging out with someone and we saw some crows or grackles or any manner of corvid and they just started telling me facts about em….they’d be a new best friend instantly.
Being sentimental over inanimate objects is such a thing. The only reason I would eat things I hated as a little kid (texture issues) was because my mom would pretend my food was "sad" I didn't like
I like to think that all of the bird zoom calls are happening in real time and this video is just 1 long live feed of cutaways to and from Brennan talking abut birds.
I am not making Brennan accept the PDA autism but I am leaving it on a plate for him if he wants it He explain thing good Tbh for me one of the most part is how he has stated “I have to actively work not to talk Like This all the time” SAME, MAN
*_FIRST OF ALL, WE MADE UP THE RULES_* If we have decided that the point of the vodcast is to be wrong all the time (panting) “Why are you like this” bc if you don’t mask like that you’re literally shunned and then y’all pretend ooohhh nnnooo that doesn’t happen IT DOES Izzy reads Brennan to filth over adderall (adderall did not work for me) They hold grudges, they have long memories, they love to sled; they also hold funerals and they also get high
Well... I am alone at home and when brennan said "... a crow on it, one of my favourite creatures..." I screamed, literally screamed "YEEEEEEEEES!!! I LOVE CROWS!!!" SO. I guess wahr I'm asking is... should I try to get a diagnosis for what I have long suspected.
The question is whether or not you would get something out of it like personal security, or accommodations for work/school. If identifying with the community is enough for you don’t feel like you need a diagnosis to belong.
It's absolutely up to you, self-diagnosis is valid. Something to consider when deciding on getting a professional Dx is that there's still stigma with it especially in the medical industry, and if it's on your record you're likely to experience more discrimination and distrust
i try very hard not to diagnose other people, especially people i don't know in real life. but as an autistic person, my sensor is pinging so so so hard and i seriously think he should get tested ASAP.
I have been seeking an adhd diagnosis for a bit now, and I'm also fairly convinced at this point that it's highly likely I am also autistic. My sister got tested for it this year and got her autism confirmed so that apparently makes my own more likely, but I'm just stuck here thinking "what's the point?" Obviously if you don't know, it can be freeing to find such a thing out about yourself, but I'm not quite sure what the follow up is for such a thing? I am seeking an ADHD diagnosis because I find that it seriously hampers my quality of life and prevents me from doing life things or things I enjoy. But for autism, it isn't really something you treat, just something you are, no? I'm just sort of wondering if someone who has been assessed might be able to point out something I am missing
@@eveoftheroses3766 I feel the exact same way! my brother is diagnosis with autism and I've taken a bunch of online test and I keep going back and forth of if it's worth the struggle to get diagnosed because it seems like it would only be for peace of mind.
@@eveoftheroses3766 hi sorry this is 2 months late but I've been diagnosed ASD for over a decade and having the diagnosis can get you more support at work/school and even in medical environments, so there's some benefit to a "late" dx
I relate to him too much; this man needs to be tested immediately. I have had 3 separate conversations IDENTICAL to some of these podcast clips just this week. Edit: I wrote this comment at the 6 minute mark, and it has only become more true with each passing moment.
Not them ragging on his samefood! I'd be aghast, too! When I worked at a bougie burger place for 8 months, I made myself the same burger almost every single day. Beyond patty, grilled red + white + green onions, pickles, jalapeno catsup, goat cheese, & a strip of bacon on a bun toasted with garlic aioli.

17:57 okay I know this is a video about Brennan, but who's the seated person in this scene? That "I knew I didn't do it" has that Brennan-breaking, Zac Oyama one-liner quality to it and I am willing to pay to see the full version of this if it's on Dropout or something
I know! I was so expecting his scene partner there to be too outclassed to know how to continue, only for him to instead spout the *exact perfect line* to follow that whole diatribe.
Ok, I think I may be of assistance, I could fully be wrong about this but a) not dropout b). There is a playlist made by some other human called "Brennan Lee Mulligan obscure content." that based on the thumbnails contains what you are looking for. It also contains some other very funny non-dropout brennan content. (Edited because my original answer was wrong and only a guess so I went on the hunt for answers because everyone should have access to correct information when possible)
Also did you guys wsnt to hear about another little silly guy whose probably autistic(he actyally said it himself too) does anyone care. (Im hyperfixated on him please)

Love these compilations but just for anyone who is currently looking into their own neurodivergence, Brennan is not actually autistic (and the lived experience of being autistic is contains elements of this, but definitely is not solely this). Defo go check out some of the amazing autism charities for support (such as autism U.K.), for some good info.

Jess Ross's "Wait??? WHAT???" when Brennan talked about the front underwear flat was one of the most queerly wholesome things I have ever seen. Almost like "they get pockets AND a dick hole?" was going to be the followup if Brennan didn't escalate it just immediately escalate the bit
watching this while ferociously rocking back and forth... yesss, YESSSS this is so real
Oh thank you for this, I had to go and edit my Chrome audio to hear the previous video. Much appreciated!
I wish they'd let him go off with his avian special interest. I want to hear a full podcast length episode of bird facts he finds to be neat.
EDIT: after watching the video in full i will correct this to "animal facts in general"
every new clip i see that gives insight into this man is a new relatable autism moment lol
Okay the menu short is my holy book.
The first time i saw it was the same night i had the exact same arguement with my friends. It was getting late and we wanted to order food. I basically gave the same thing as Brenan "I order the best food each time!"
Fast forward an hour later and we are eating Wattaburger and watching old CH/Dropout shorts and we got to that one. My friends and I never laughed so hard at one. Combine that with mw being the DM of our DnD game and I am now the Brennan of our friend group.
NUT MEAT
The way he said it too lmao
Acorn bollock?
My favorite part about his bits is when the camera slowly becomes more shaky as the cameraman tries to keep it together
If I was hanging out with someone and we saw some crows or grackles or any manner of corvid and they just started telling me facts about em….they’d be a new best friend instantly.
Being sentimental over inanimate objects is such a thing. The only reason I would eat things I hated as a little kid (texture issues) was because my mom would pretend my food was "sad" I didn't like
the way he's wearing like max 5 different shirts in this entire video is also *deeply* autistic-ly relatable to me
I like to think that all of the bird zoom calls are happening in real time and this video is just 1 long live feed of cutaways to and from Brennan talking abut birds.
having a full hour is the most relatable thing about this video honestly... lol
Right? It's like OP had all these clips and was autistically unable to pare down the list XD (#relatable)
I am not making Brennan accept the PDA autism but I am leaving it on a plate for him if he wants it
He explain thing good
Tbh for me one of the most part is how he has stated “I have to actively work not to talk Like This all the time” SAME, MAN
So when it’s time for little Brennan to have his fun to talk about HIS INTERESTS
*_FIRST OF ALL, WE MADE UP THE RULES_*
If we have decided that the point of the vodcast is to be wrong all the time (panting)
“Why are you like this” bc if you don’t mask like that you’re literally shunned and then y’all pretend ooohhh nnnooo that doesn’t happen IT DOES
Izzy reads Brennan to filth over adderall (adderall did not work for me)
They hold grudges, they have long memories, they love to sled; they also hold funerals and they also get high
Egg corn
LET HIM EXPLAIN EGG CORN
We will give you this free placemat if you doooo
*_WE ARE NOT ANIMALS_*
When you showed the Polygon clips I started thinking "Are you going to show the Drawfee clip?" and I was not disappointed!
oh, this is much better! you did a great job fixing the audio!
Thank you! ☺
I’ve never related to something to the level that I relate to the menu sketch. I show it to people on regular basis
Also literally all of Ayda Aguefort
I too love how smart crows are, saw a video of one displacing water in a bottle using rocks to have its beak reach the water and able to drink it.
YOU'RE not trying to diagnose mr. mulligan BUT I-
"are you weeping?"
Well... I am alone at home and when brennan said "... a crow on it, one of my favourite creatures..." I screamed, literally screamed "YEEEEEEEEES!!! I LOVE CROWS!!!"
SO. I guess wahr I'm asking is... should I try to get a diagnosis for what I have long suspected.
The question is whether or not you would get something out of it like personal security, or accommodations for work/school. If identifying with the community is enough for you don’t feel like you need a diagnosis to belong.
It's absolutely up to you, self-diagnosis is valid. Something to consider when deciding on getting a professional Dx is that there's still stigma with it especially in the medical industry, and if it's on your record you're likely to experience more discrimination and distrust
Dude the way I've had this video idea for months but never the balls to make it. Man is suspiciously relatable.
2:32 why would i want to eat something different when my current order works so well????
I hope the algorithm brings me more of these
23:56 aww Izzy bursting out laughing is kind of beautiful
For Brennan: Vita vya panzi, furaha ya kunguru.
Man we're all playing Survivor, inside
i try very hard not to diagnose other people, especially people i don't know in real life. but as an autistic person, my sensor is pinging so so so hard and i seriously think he should get tested ASAP.
I have been seeking an adhd diagnosis for a bit now, and I'm also fairly convinced at this point that it's highly likely I am also autistic. My sister got tested for it this year and got her autism confirmed so that apparently makes my own more likely, but I'm just stuck here thinking "what's the point?"
Obviously if you don't know, it can be freeing to find such a thing out about yourself, but I'm not quite sure what the follow up is for such a thing? I am seeking an ADHD diagnosis because I find that it seriously hampers my quality of life and prevents me from doing life things or things I enjoy. But for autism, it isn't really something you treat, just something you are, no? I'm just sort of wondering if someone who has been assessed might be able to point out something I am missing
@@eveoftheroses3766 I feel the exact same way! my brother is diagnosis with autism and I've taken a bunch of online test and I keep going back and forth of if it's worth the struggle to get diagnosed because it seems like it would only be for peace of mind.
@@eveoftheroses3766 hi sorry this is 2 months late but I've been diagnosed ASD for over a decade and having the diagnosis can get you more support at work/school and even in medical environments, so there's some benefit to a "late" dx
me figuring out in this very moment why I love Brennan so much
Raph's laughs are so healing.
He's just like me forreal!!!
this being almost an hour is sending me
this video was made specifically for me,,, thank you kind creator
honestly I half thought this would just be a compilation of Evan Kelmp lmaoo
This is a nice set of clips. Thank you!
I relate to him too much; this man needs to be tested immediately. I have had 3 separate conversations IDENTICAL to some of these podcast clips just this week.
Edit: I wrote this comment at the 6 minute mark, and it has only become more true with each passing moment.
Thank you for the volume fix :)
Not them ragging on his samefood! I'd be aghast, too!
When I worked at a bougie burger place for 8 months, I made myself the same burger almost every single day.
Beyond patty, grilled red + white + green onions, pickles, jalapeno catsup, goat cheese, & a strip of bacon on a bun toasted with garlic aioli.
>opened the other vid
>turned up the volume like.. a lot.. to hear it properly
Oh a re-upload that fixes it!
> *click*
>jump scared by super loud volume
why am I like this >.
this is my favorite video
i literally watch it everyday
This is truly relative as a man with autism, this is extremely relatable
uploaded seven seconds ago…
17:57 okay I know this is a video about Brennan, but who's the seated person in this scene? That "I knew I didn't do it" has that Brennan-breaking, Zac Oyama one-liner quality to it and I am willing to pay to see the full version of this if it's on Dropout or something
Seriously, please, someone answer :D
I know! I was so expecting his scene partner there to be too outclassed to know how to continue, only for him to instead spout the *exact perfect line* to follow that whole diatribe.
Ok, I think I may be of assistance, I could fully be wrong about this but a) not dropout b). There is a playlist made by some other human called "Brennan Lee Mulligan obscure content." that based on the thumbnails contains what you are looking for. It also contains some other very funny non-dropout brennan content. (Edited because my original answer was wrong and only a guess so I went on the hunt for answers because everyone should have access to correct information when possible)
This isn't Dropout content! It's from UCB NY Cagematch, from maybe 10-ish years ago :DD I'm not personally sure of anyone's name besides Brennan's.
@@catwithabighat773 THANK YOU!!!!!
he is so important to me
As someone with autism, Bren is my spirit animal.
The burger quote is so me
Perhaps my favorite American
god i need to get diagnosed
OH MY GOD THE CHINESE FOOD ORDER
7:34 If that's the case, then there's a good chance that Adderall would have the reverse effect, which is why it's prescribed to people with adhd
How can anything be so good?
the menu conversation drove me insane
If he doesnt get that damn diagnosis RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!
Also did you guys wsnt to hear about another little silly guy whose probably autistic(he actyally said it himself too) does anyone care. (Im hyperfixated on him please)
15:22 the polyamorous chicken marriage
17:24 sorry do you think everyone who goes to jail is guilty?
48:30 noooo don't cut off 'josh has to leave in 4 minutes'
YES ANY PLANT I reference this clip so often and NO ONE knows what the fuck I'm talking about
14:15 i wanna add on to this point, i honestly think its more about ego. a case of, they benefit from it but they dont respect it.
i just wish the videos these clips are from were included in the description so it would be easier to watch the full context for these
if this was just labeled 'relatable moments' i wouldnt bat an eye. but yeah, who wants to talk about crows, cause thats just fun
Love these compilations but just for anyone who is currently looking into their own neurodivergence, Brennan is not actually autistic (and the lived experience of being autistic is contains elements of this, but definitely is not solely this). Defo go check out some of the amazing autism charities for support (such as autism U.K.), for some good info.
I don't think it's accurate to say that he's not actually autistic, we don't know that, but it's true that we also don't know if he is.
