1:00:20 holy moly that whiplash. I can relate, not to what he said, but to making an actually really good joke and then ruining my momentum immediately.
In a lot of older Alpharad videos, I noticed Jacob tends to use what I've dubbed the "announcer voice" where he intentionally makes his voice more pronounced with the specific intention of highlighting when he's telling a joke or bit. This habit may be good, but upon comparing some of his newer videos to (for the sake of an example) his 2018 videos, this habit makes the joke seem more forced to me. Perhaps this is because in his newer content, he's gotten a handle on when and how to use it. like for example, when before he'd start a joke and deliver the punchline in announcer voice, he now instead starts the whole joke in announcer voice which makes the whole thing less obvious. Or maybe that's just me over-analyzing.
I kinda get it too, there is a noticeable difference between Jacob (normal voice) vs alpharad (announcer voice). For me, I really felt the difference with the way he spoke around 1:40 - 1:41. Still tho, fully sticking to the announcer voice has helped a lot in making himself more interesting
Back in 2018 I thought he was scripting his jokes and recording them over the original footage because of the voice, happy that he's gotten significantly better nowadays
that is an A+ "7-year-old who hasn't yet figured out how to have the overleveled starter not kill everything" team, but you recorded that and showed it to the world.
If Alpha is calling THOSE already pretty good videos and better than a lot of videos today cringe, then that just goes to show how far his video making skills has become.
You can tell you were insecure about your content while making it back in 2015, gives me HUGE game grumps vibes {not a bad thing} art will always be imitated and thats okay! you were learning how to become the amazing content creator you are today! cheers
alpharad this actually took me back that icon that editing style its all so nostalgic, thank you for everything, you taught me how to use photoshop better than my highschool teachers
I'm so glad you talked about popping sounds for cuts in a videos. As a video editor I hear those all the time in professional videos and it really turns me off from watching.
i hope he turns up his past self to be easier to hear if by content we mean videos specifically then I think I can only go up unless I go into the negative, so hopefully I do improve lol. (I have not made a TH-cam video but I have some nice ideas) Pokemon with the storytelling talents of Avatar would go hard though Sableye and Spiritomb were weak to Scrappy Fighting, Foresight (and its clones) Fighting, Soak+Grass/Electric, and Shadow before Gen 6 (Shadow is only Sableye though). Eelektross was not weak to Scrappy, Foresight, or Shadow but shared the weakness of Soak+Grass/Electric and had other weaknesses in Mold Breaker Ground, Smack Down + Ground, Ground during Gravity, and Ground after neutralized/changed ability (Worry Seed, Skill Swap, etc.). Of course, Eelektross has gained new weaknesses afterwards such as Trick or Treat + Ghost/Dark, Forest's Curse + Grass Weakness, Neutralizing Gas, Thousand Arrows as well as any ground move succeeding it, and probably more! 22:31 I seriously don't get that complaint about the Mario Movie its pacing is fine from what I can tell 24:00 She could've done it if she had a different name involving the word slave... To be fair about the catching 2 Pokemon ifor a while thing, Alpharadical DID say he'd do this with 2 Pokemon or something like that SERIOUSLY WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE AGREE ON MARIO MOVIE PACING BEING SUPPOSEDLY BAD I DON'T GET IT 1:23:48 Godblessyou, Alpharadical! "Gosh" is cool tbh, though IIRC using the lord's name in veign is actually referring to using their name for money so like, fine either way that was wild
This video is especially ass blasting for me because 18 y/o fetus Alpharad's speaking voice sounds eerily similar to how I sounded when I was that age. Like really similar cadences and pitch inflections. Suffice to say: I'm cringing with him.
oh i feel the pain already and im barely a minute in beginning youtube is the scariest thing, everyone starts off awkward and either very exaggerated or dull, cringing at the past does show improvement but still is not pleasant :')
Damn come to think of it i was watching all his old shit when it came out. The oldest videos that are out i saw as they came out. This mf really shaped my humor
Wow you were actually very well spoken back then, nothing cringe to see here. In a lot of TH-camrs early videos they can't even talk properly. I understand why this is hard for you to watch, because we tend to be over judgmental of ourselves, but this is great.
2013: haha I’m playing pokemon!
2016: haha I’m playing smash bros!
2020: haha I made an unsolvable escape room!
2023: haha I’m playing pokemon!
Pokemon: “You could not live with your own faliure. Where did that bring you? Back to me.”
eternal time loop
So in 3 years he's gonna go back to his forward aerial phase?
@@BurgerSoupyeah, when Smash 6 comes out
is 2026 the return of smash content?
It’s amazing how each video ended with “as always…” and something completely different each time.
One of my favorite unintentional bits
He should have kept that going. Never acknowledging it, yet doing it anyway.
Remember kids: Cringing at your former self is the only way to know how much you've grown
or how much you haven't
Thank you lux481!!
You either die a let’s player, or live long enough to see yourself become the react channel.
all art is derivative
a let's play is a react video
@@internetguy7319A reaction video is just a let's play where the game is the amount of likes one gets.
Unless you're Chuggaaconroy
I mean when you think about it, you do click on a video to "play" it
@@xvstar_ nice to see a fellow Chuggaaconroy fan
Relatively innocent, slightly awkward, and with a handful of casual misogyny. Truly, the most 2013 video I have ever seen
Zoomer whining how harmless jokes are misogny/racist/transphobic/offensive in 50 other ways.
The most 2023 comment I’ve ever seen
@@Hollow_Tim I like how 2013 alpharad making a joke is harmless but me making a joke about it is whining
@@HyLion Alright sorry, was too busy being annoyed by "casual misogyny" (cuz I see that stuff way too often) to register that as a joke.
@@Hollow_Timwhy does the mention of casual misogyny make u so angry lol
I’m sorry but what was bro cooking 💀
The "shut up you don't exist" joke is the best moment of the whole vod
59:43 for the timestamp of the greatest moment of the vod.
1:00:20 holy moly that whiplash. I can relate, not to what he said, but to making an actually really good joke and then ruining my momentum immediately.
The reveal during the "Bad Mic" episode with the crusty car setup: "Mic-On-Steering-Wheel" edition was fantastic, holy shit.
38:25
probably the hardest i've ever heard alphara laugh
I hope Alpharad recreates his first videos one to one for the tenth anniversary of his channel being made
that was actually the plan LOL
@@Alpharad I will look forward to seeing your brilliant setup as seen in 2014 and the game grumps ass editing
I hope we finally get the Major-O's remake@@Alpharad
@@Alpharad rad!
I need this... that'd be funny@@Alpharad
Honestly, I can really see how alpharad blew up. The fact that can he fit so much content into one video or series was always one of his best skills.
In a lot of older Alpharad videos, I noticed Jacob tends to use what I've dubbed the "announcer voice" where he intentionally makes his voice more pronounced with the specific intention of highlighting when he's telling a joke or bit. This habit may be good, but upon comparing some of his newer videos to (for the sake of an example) his 2018 videos, this habit makes the joke seem more forced to me.

Back in 2018 I thought he was scripting his jokes and recording them over the original footage because of the voice, happy that he's gotten significantly better nowadays
i can't listen to youtubers with the "announcer voice" anymore because it just reminds me of the top 10 hottest sonic females video
I love how 2014 Alpharad goes full on AVGN on the pokémon trainers have. "WHYY!!??" "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?"
That photo of your car setup is unbelievably based and incredibly hilarious that you used the laptop mic
The problem is that i would watch 2013 alpha because he feels like a 2023 - 100k views TH-camr
Ngl I think this might actually be Alpha’s funniest video, I’m actually trying not to have a fit at work. Diddles and Shalom are absolutely sending me
Best moments: 16:15 26:01 27:28 33:29 38:42 1:00:23 1:17:18 1:32:11
that is an A+ "7-year-old who hasn't yet figured out how to have the overleveled starter not kill everything" team, but you recorded that and showed it to the world.
Shalom had me snorting with laughter im glad this got turned into a video
Only a few hundred people have watched this video until it was shown to 1 or 2 thousand people live on twitch
The most tragic part of this old let's play is that he never found tropius.
Genuinely didn't have me cringing as much as I expected it to.
Glad little bro earned to power of self-respect over the years.
If Alpha is calling THOSE already pretty good videos and better than a lot of videos today cringe, then that just goes to show how far his video making skills has become.
17:44 Oh the cursor comically spins away now that's something! (rad)
"This game is so easy" (immediately dies)
I would've put a timestamp but it happens in every video xD
51:07 made me choke, was not expecting that
Really interesting seeing how far you've come.
Just sucks May was there, what the hell just leave.
From humble beginnings.
You can tell you were insecure about your content while making it back in 2015, gives me HUGE game grumps vibes {not a bad thing} art will always be imitated and thats okay! you were learning how to become the amazing content creator you are today! cheers
alpharad this actually took me back that icon that editing style
its all so nostalgic, thank you for everything, you taught me how to use photoshop better than my highschool teachers
"I'd love for this to go viral" made me choke on my food holy shit young Alpha was so based
1:04:35 Shout out to that one comment comparing this audio to a Banjo Kazooie character xD
Well that's funny. I also played through Pokemon Sapphire as my first gameplay video that is ALSO unlisted
alpha you’re first video is actually much better than other popular youtubers first videos, honestly, I would take you’re first vid is rad. 😎
Some underrated bops in that album, not gonna lie. I still listen to it occasionally.
Holy shit i havent laughed this hard in a while holy hell this was golden
My favourite moment starts at 1:15:22 , for some reason the reactions to that moment always makes me laugh
This is not your first video ever, this is just the first Alpharad video ever.
thats what he said
Ever TH-cam channel is a new person. Please ignore the man behind the curtain.
@@obits3 he has like three different active accounts as it is
I kept thinking that this is an edited video from the main channel but then I checked and I keep seeing like a 2 hour timestamp
1:00:20
"Alpharad is problematic"
I'm so glad you talked about popping sounds for cuts in a videos. As a video editor I hear those all the time in professional videos and it really turns me off from watching.
1:33:23 The Major avatar is still public on the thumbnail of his Project M tutorial on the main channel
i hope he turns up his past self to be easier to hear
if by content we mean videos specifically then I think I can only go up unless I go into the negative, so hopefully I do improve lol. (I have not made a TH-cam video but I have some nice ideas)
Pokemon with the storytelling talents of Avatar would go hard though

I remember when I first came across your channel, it was the pokemon sun & moon supercut, been a fan since PagMan
Alpha liking the Northern Hues in 2014 because Danny's in the band is like looking in a mirror
Alpharad: Origins.
I remember that a couple of the songs from Frozen in time were from way before Ace of Hearts, notably Queen of everything lmao
The garage band song unironically goes SO HARD I love it
39:21 W setup my boi
Can't wait till Alpha remakes this series!
Honestly I would love to see Alpha replicate this style of video for shits and giggles.
He should totally do this using ORAS.
I love how he acts like this wasn’t the man that made How to Play 101
the fact he just went "fuck it" back then is amazing
Such an oP series of videos
When you skip the overworld to get to the fights and skip the fights to get to the overworld
nice to see the internet funnyman’s humble origins as an internet sillyboy
This is one of the videos of all time
I… never saw this stream announced on his Twitter, he might've deleted it later
21:42 For a first let's play it actually seems pretty amazing
12:29 LMAO, he just lifted the recap from the game recap.
episode 4-5 using that one big pokemon series melody song by hapinano is based as hell actually
Jacob not recording audio? Who would have guessed!?
oh i feel the pain already and im barely a minute in
beginning youtube is the scariest thing, everyone starts off awkward and either very exaggerated or dull,
cringing at the past does show improvement but still is not pleasant :')
This video is certified Rad.
bro baby jacob has got a john mulaney inflection
okay guys, this is pretty rad
Tbf that zigzagoon has thunderbolt
I think it'd be pretty funny if you used the same EDM music in the background for the TH-cam video for this reaction
Do you want to see how far the first Alpharad videos go? 💊🤣Matrix references.
Back in the day, to me alpharad was that guy tgat always won on mario party on FWOB
Wasn't expecting minus the bear talk so that was great!
Been listening to Pachuca Sunrise since this stream, great song to chill to on the bus
Timestamp for myself 38:32
With all those complaints, surprised he didn’t named his channel Alphamad back then
"I'm a grown ass man" You're barely older than the black/white protags!
Diddles = reference to Achievement Hunter/LetsPlay maybe?
Hi TH-cam!
(Edit: Hi Jo!)
Hi TH-cam! 0:05
That car setup was very oP
this was more interesting to watch than I thought it would be
Damn come to think of it i was watching all his old shit when it came out. The oldest videos that are out i saw as they came out. This mf really shaped my humor
still cant believe you named a wynaut 1,420
38:37 actually lost my shit here lmao
Good work Diddles
Shalom, Brawly
someone in chat said harlot is a type of motorcycle lmao
Radical video
Was that a marshmallow friends joke about mudshot
Wow you were actually very well spoken back then, nothing cringe to see here. In a lot of TH-camrs early videos they can't even talk properly. I understand why this is hard for you to watch, because we tend to be over judgmental of ourselves, but this is great.
That's kinda cute
Kinda rad
Kinda alpha
Kinda Op
@@EliDrSus oP*
Sometimes I forget how alpha is from Oklahoma. Oklahoma representation I guess? (Hello from OKC)
Okay, but what about the classic video "Major O's" by JRabonProductions?
They sound the same, mans voice did not change at all 😭
When you want to watch Alpharad without actual Alpharad.
That was rad
oP dare i say
Show your friends this comment, I'd love for it to go viral
Until then, I'll see you guys... have a good day
Keep doing you
The only thing stopping you from being you, is you. Have a nice day
🎺
Still don’t know what lil bro was cooking with Migos
I remember that doll maker. dA kids where you at?
Oh I always thought it was like alpha radiation
I unironically just like these wtf
I laughed at the groudon cut, he's just a hater
Honestly he has always been rad
