Not gonna lie, I wouldn't have minded it if it was just a 2 minute video of him trying to walk through doors having guys ask him what he hopes to find here.
@Women Respecter If i had any skills at all.
Same! XD
Then brought to him the wisdom he was seeking all along. As he walked through the doors he realized that life is like a door or something like that. Lol. Or maybe at the end he mentioned that to the "wise one"
mood
Plot twist at the end, it's an IKEA and he's been looking for the exit all along.
I thought it was just gonna be a series of doors with the same dude in different skin colors asking slightly different questions haha
It is.
And then the last door would just be an exit onto the street.
same..
But its much better !
@@nottelling6598 😂😂😂😂fockin genius mate
That is simply genious
I think he's found the guidance he was looking for. Being unable to make any sense besides Jabubu, our hero finally understood that nobody else can help him besides himself. Truly the wisest one Jabubu is.
He no longer has a health bar
The man focuses on his own problems without first seeking how he can help others.
As the pilgrim left, the door guard reflected that this was the same lesson the wise one taught to all his visitors.
🤘🤣🤘 THAT is philosophy! And ACCURATE!
That's deep.
“I have very little to offer”
Advice: “jabubu!!”
You get what you pay for I guess.
Perfect punch line to this vid 🤣🤣🤣
He offered experience, he got......an experience.

Take your 1,000th thumbs up.

They always say, never meet your heroes.
I swear I’m never gonna predict how these skits go
He released a Community Post about the origins of Jabubu and it's actually kind of touching.
I put it off because I thought I knew what would happen... nope, blindsided.
Bachelor with Monkeys went about how I'd expected.
I'll never forget the day this happened to me
Eric?

This is essentially what happens when a student actually does seek out a guidance counselor
Especially the weird pulsating fleshy bit.
@@MadamFoogie Oh no..
Haha
@@Bagrieru Reality is dark
@@MadamFoogie You made me do a laughy laugh and I appreciate that
*Cyberpunk 2077’s* graphics look *amazing* in this update.

It's OT
The Wholesome One has come to share guidance with The Wise One
this visual style is so striking and neat that he could literally just animate like his trip to the store and i would be happy to watch it
HAve you heard of "Normal man goes grocery shopping" In theatres soon!
Jabubu goes grocery shopping.
New to rotoscoping, eh?
He actually uses an ai to do the animation he made a tutorial on it.
@@bossmansam2 i know, so? its still a distinct style not often seen and like he said in the video he leaves in imperfections and such for example. just cause its not normal animation doesnt mean you cant have visuals that have clear differences by who made it.
Jabubu may be wise but he is yet to learn about patience and listening to other’s opinions.
Did you listen to his wise words? To quote: “Jabubu... jabubu jabubu jop jop tsk jabubu jabubu.”
I think that speaks for itself.
@@DisDatK9 you’ve got a valid point there. But what about when he said “jabubu”?
GAGAGAGAGAGA!!! I want to cut my toe nails... NEVER! I am the feet TH-camr. Thanks for being a fan, dear plu
I couldn’t concur more fine fellow.
it was a test
Normally the bouncers turn people away when they don’t know the password, but they knew anyone coming to seek “guidance” is in for a treat and they just had to see the reaction.
Jabubu
JUH BOOBOO!!!
You're here for...oh shit, this is going to be amazing. By all means, you go get that wisdom bro.
Lol yup. The blue bouncer at the door knew what's up, that's why he was laughing as the guy went in.
@@WobblesandBean and the red bouncer chuckles as he says alright. lmao.
The bouncers looking real smug. They knew exactly what kind of guidance jabubu had in store.
They tried to warn him
What is it that you hope to find here?
“Jabubu”
"What is it you hope to find here?" was a rhetorical question dude was so wacked out on amphetamine he thought it was some cryptic passphrase
We need a sequel where the protagonist has the boss fight and is about to be defeated but has a flashback to jabubu and is able to overcome his enemy and save the world due to wise words jabubu.
"I get it now! All those times he cut me off, he was trying to teach me something!"
Boss: Your journey ends here bud. I...i'm sorry it has come to this. [raises sword]
Dude: [internal] think. think. think.
Flashback: Jabubububu bubu hu bubu🎵~
Dude: [starts humming it]
Boss: uh...hm...is that...Jabubu?
Dude: Yeah...why?
Boss: I didnt know you knew him. I went to high school with him.
Dude: He went to high school?
Boss: uh...doesn't...everyone?
Dude: i mean i suppose so?
Dude: yeah...sorry.
Boss: So what were we doing?
Dude: You were uh...about to kill me.
Boss: Oh yeah...
Joel: "Dang it this guy spoiled the next video without even having seen it!"
The Zero-Point Bomb is about to go off. There are only 5 seconds to insert the correct password and save the world. What do yo do?....... JABUBU
The Lord of Blackest Night stood before the hero in all his dark glory a grin on his demonic face. "You can not defeat me, I am a force of entropy, I am the shadow that envelops all things".
"There has to be a way. What was it that my master taught me all those years ago?" Then it clicked. Joel drew power into himself, the rush was like a raging inferno in his veins. Every demon had one weakness, if you could speak their TRUE NAME you could destroy them.
Sensing the power gathering, the Lord of Blackest night surged ahead sword poised to strike a mighty blow. As he closed in the last thing he saw was the grin on the hero's face. The last thing he heard was a single word whispered in triumph.
Jabubu
He’s a wise sage, he’s trying to teach Joel to be humble and keep his mouth shut more often
True
juuupboooooooooo booooooooooooooooooooooo jupbobooooooooooooooo aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
I think he's teaching him to lighten up more often and to not be so serious all the time.
I like how the second guy was trying to hold in laughter when the man with the coat said he hoped to find guidance. I now see why.
The first guy did too, he was smirking as Joel went in. THEY KNEW.
Jabubu.
Wise words
Bu! jajajajaj jabubu
Hold
Jabubu the boot
Jabubu.
I like the idea that "jabubu" is meaningless, but everyone who comes there reads into it so much that they find their own solution to their problem and think it was Jabubu's intention all along.
lol either that, or Jabubu solving their problems without them knowing that it in fact has barely achieved the mental development of a baby
I like the idea that this Jabubu character is perfectly capable of speaking English but just yells "Jabubu" like some sort of pokemon when he can't be bothered to give out meaningful advice.. People walk away thinking "this guy is insane", but instead, he's just silencing them with nonsense just to ge them to leave him alone
@@EvilGremlin100 That's also a pretty good idea lol
Go ask the wise one for guidance, your answer is feeling anger and confusion.
Jabubu speaks perfect English, he was testing the guy and the guy may never understand.
The amount of detail in Jabubu is incredible and awe-inspiring. This deserves some sort of award.
When the game recognizes you have a pirated version.
that would be a brilliant feature. hell id pirate a copy just for that.
@@liammccbyrne4184 The thing is, the game just stops at that point about 1/3rd into the main quest.
@@liammccbyrne4184 There are actually some games that so stuff like that. Look up MVG's videos on Anti-Pirating methods taken by game developers and you'll see some of the weird and funny stuff they did.
My favourite anti-piracy measure is from Dragon Quest 5. At the very start of the game,you're on a ship and you have to get off it to start your adventure. If the game recognises you have a pirated copy, the ship never docks at port. It just sails forever lol
Ultima VII everyone oinks like a pig
I love this channel's ability to earnestly sell a mood and then drop it all over the floor before it can be consumed.
@@utrak For clarification I do enjoy it. I find the absurd betrayal of its established theme in order to deliver a subverted or simply joke ending fun.
jabubu
Definetely butter side down
"Oh lord Jabubu, shall I ever seek a true love?"
"Jabubu."
*sobs uncontrollablly*
Well it's your own fault if you don't at least seek it. Finding it is a different matter entirely, but that's not what you asked the great Jabubu.
Your comment reminded me of the crossroads pretty boy with the seeking true love stuff^^
Is that a yes or a no?
Jabubu!
I feel like Jabubu is simply the personification of what lockdown living does to the human body.
As a human, I agree
And mind.
Nice surprise to see you here :)
When's the jabubu kitbash guide coming?
@@W0rmhandler now THAT is a good idea
“I…come seeking guidance.”
…
“Alright.” 😂😂
That look on his face nails it. He's had 200 idiots come this way already.
To me, Jabubu symbolizes the realization of mastery over one's own life. We feel lost, uncertain, and insecure in this life, and we don't always have someone to turn to for an answer. Sometimes we walk the long road to Jabubu, only to arrive and realize we were better off just figuring it out on our own...
*slow clap into a crescendo of applause.
That’s not what jabubu is. It’s clearly a big monster we just saw in the video.
@@paulstringer1707 Jeez youre the life of the party huh paul
Jabubu is the idea that not everything can or should be reduced to a commoditable or commensurable form. There are entire realities of meaning outside what you think you know, or what the market has reduced to sign values and exchange values by its autocratic and unitary code. Free yourself from your mind cage and be happy, human and spiritual in constant discovery.
Open your mind.
JABUBU!
I’m glad you honored your dad by making this guy a reality
What? Explain to me please
In the community post that came out along with this video, it mentioned that it was going to be their dad under a ton of blankets but he ended up passing away before they could film the skit.
FaFo It was originally their dad’s idea and he was gonna play this creature under a pile of blankets but he died. 🥺
@@parisnumberone4967 it *wasn't* going to be their dad. It's just a character he and his brother made up and that it would be his father but it wasn't for any video
@@Kaplykos You're wrong.
"Years ago my dad, my brother and I made up a character named Jabubu. *He was gonna be my dad's face peaking out of a pile of blankets* and he wouldn't say anything but "jabubu when sought out for advice. The wisest sage of all.
Sadly, it was one of many ideas we never got around to making before my dad's passing."
This really makes you *feel* like a Jabubu
I like how both bodyguards just look at him like Yeah good luck with that
I’m addicted to this style of animation, it’s like something you’d find on adult swim at 3am. I love it.
Yeah AS needs to pick this guy up.
@@InfinitePiechotta Joel is too good for AS, let him keep his creative freedom
@@mrrooter601 agree. Why do ppl compare these guys or other youtubers to adult swim?? They are nothing alike . They have their own thing . And yeah, too good for adult swim actually.
I seriously wanna smack everyone who puts youtubers like this, in the same pot as adult swim . It s like they can t take it, and try to label it in an enviroment . So obnoxious.
@@justinmacarrhur1924 Im not putting him in the same pot as adult swim, I’m just saying that it gives of the same weirdness as something on adult swim. But hey, if you wanna smack people for having a different opinion go ahead
Bladerunner 3 looks sick af.
Blade Runner 1989
You put both words together and at first I read that as Blader runner 3.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how hard working Joel is with these regular uploads? We realise how much time and effort goes into your videos and we appreciate it.
Thank you Joel.

@@Joel-Haver Hey Joel you're awesome! Greetings from California 🌴🌲
Joel: is a broken man, living a life with many sad experiences, his last salvation from his problems is Jabubu
Jabubu: *starts vibing with his song*
I love that you have spawned an entire genre of animation, but no one compares to the original.
These are still the originals, give it time
He didn't spawn this
@@JP-of8uq but he did 🤗
JP Gnr He literally did. The retro animated style was is literally called the Joel Haver style.
@@brianjc720 Actually he literally didn't.... the software he uses was up well before he made his first video let alone became popular. It's just AI assisted rotoscoping. He literally explains this himself. He's probably the first to make it popular on youtube though.
*eyes get very small* “Please let me finish”
Don’t know why I laughed so hard at that 😂
Wise one: Jabubu
Me: Yes exactly
1:21 Funny to hear a fat blob rambling "Jabubu" cuz it sounds like "Eat till you're full" or literally "Eat full full" in my language.
@@gwyn. what language
@@gonkdroidgaming6984
Taiwanese.
Ja = To eat
ba/bu = be full
ba/bu x 2 = to be satisfyingly full or just really full. (But it needs to be in context otherwise it doesn't mean anything.)
Yes, hold.
Thank you Joel's dad for creating Joel. What a man.
Jababubu beubbu
I like the part where he said "jabubu".
and he still has better dialogue than all of game of thrones season 8
@@DGNT1 he aiint wrong tho
When he said it I was like, he said the name of the movie!
@@palody_en-ja so that's it huh? we're some sort of Jabubu?
I felt that
Well now we know what Pearl from Blade 1 has been up to...
Wow what a reference.
damn I wasn't the only one thinking that! XD
“He moved” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Damn the reference...
Beautiful
I love how every single Joel Haver thumbnail exudes the same vaguely threatening aura.
And yet more often than not the content is really wholesome
It's in their face exoresions lmao
@@dano8902 true
I heard "Draw Boobboob"
That's all I needed to hear
Godspeed, good Sir. We're counting on you
SEEYYMOOUUR!!!
Wise One guidance not required to draw boobboob
Boobs truly are the meaning to life. Even us boob-havers can’t resist just holding them absentmindedly. They’re magnetic.
It’s actually a really big problem, my jewelry has my hand stuck to my boob and I can’t remove it please help
@@doubtful_seer coming thru w/ the jaws of life, omw
I appreciate these animated shorts so much! Your hard work is not wasted!
Joel: Looks for great knowledge, wisdm and guidance
Also Joel: Goes to meet a giant melted marshmallow
You see his brain was also melted and marshmallowed. This gave him amazing insight no other human has.
It was worth a shot
Kinda gives me a epic wad of chewed gum vibe but melted marshmallow works too I suppose
@@sharp7j ah yes
@@mikelentz833 true lmao
I hope this turns into a series where different people hang out in a pub recalling their jabubu experience.
This is a beautiful thing. The way the two guys (who appear to be the same guy in different colours) at either door both smile at him when he says he's looking for guidance and they both sort of subtly imply that he's going to be shit out of luck but let him carry on with naïve excitement. I love it at the end where the guy looks at the pink blob with a death glare realising how stupid his quest was and that he's just wasting time now and the blob declares "Jabubu" to have the last word. I've watched this at least a dozen times now.
I really hope homeboy gets an Adult Swim deal at some point. It'd be pretty wild to see what Mr. Haver could do with a warehouse sized studio and a bunch of fancy camera toys.
Probably exactly what he's doing now
If Brad Neely is a precedent, it might completely ruin him. Big budget + studio interference does not always improve comedy.
@@MarionRelics I'm not sure how much interference you're gonna get on Adult Swim lmao
I like exactly what he's doing now tbh
Why mess with the formula
at first I thought it was just going to be Joel walking through like a million doors that each have a person outside them asking "what is it that you seek?"
1:47 how dare you be ungrateful, he just gave you a preview to his new hit single: Jabubu Jabu
The Wise One only wanted to vibe with him and Jabubu, and so teach him that the guidance he seeks is to be fully present in the moment without too much concern over the outcome of any given situation
Today this is just a silly animation, but someday we'll find that Jabubu is actually the secret to the universe.
He's gonna meet the Galactic Emperor calling it now lol.
Coming from mega chungus. This has to be true
“What the, stop that, stop whatever that is please” That’s the part that got me.
Lol right? 😂
*reads Joel's post about this being a sketch they thought of with his dad but never got to shoot* Wow, so beautiful how he continues on and his dad lives on through Joels comedy
*watching a jabba rip off sing Jabubu showtune*
So...so beautiful :')
This is the exact interaction people have every time they meet their hero.
YUP
I hope he found the guidance he was looking for, because I sure as hell did not catch any of that.
Jabubu
Jabubu
When you seek guidance for the answers of the deepest questions, the Universe mocks you for trying.
"Jabubu"
The eyes seem a lot cleaner and more detailed in this one
I keep coming back to this. Over and over again, I've recommended it to everyone I know and always stop to rewatch it at least two or three times myself every single time. The atmosphere, the acting, the colors, the framing, the timing. Everything about this is just solid gold. This is legitimately high-quality work.
His face slowly falling as he realizes jabubu is completely fucking with him 🤣
This is beyond brilliant!
I was not expecting you of all people to be here. Looks like you went on the Jabubu journey after your MMA journey.
Bruh, this is the last place I expected for you to be in.
"Jabubu of the mat, should I continue Aikido?"
"Jabubu"
"Understandable, thank you for your guidance"
"Jabubu"
This one sucked but alright
Jah boo boo
Now we shall wait while 1:45 to 1:58 is made into a 24 hour loop
If Joel made a feature film in his animation and comedic style, I would totally watch that
You didn't have to make the likeness of Jabubu directly after me, Joel. Thanks. XD
I knew I recognized that writhing flipper! ;0
Dang Camelot, didn't expect to see you here.
I've come for guidance.
So you adapted to quarantine then?

@@cmaga1013 and I'm so sorry about that, how did you take it?
@@mihailmilev9909 this video is dedicated to his dad
I kind of expected him at the end to be like, "No I'm just messing with ya, so what brought you in?"
They people at the door asked "what are you hoping to find here" because they knew there was nothing to find there. So they felt bewildered that someone would travel so far to hear some nonsense. They are not security guards, they are just there to give people information in case they got lost or let them through if they purposely reach there of their own volition
As someone who just graduated college, this is the guidance I really needed
There's no other kind of guidance after graduating college anyway.

That's the wisdom we didn't want, but the wisdom we deserve
I was waiting for him to suddenly whisper something wise then go back to saying jabubu before Joel can catch it lol

I love how the background on the street is supposed to be some eerie cyberpunk thing but it's clearly just a completely normal photo of NYC's Chinatown . Beautiful.

That's the point of the joke. It was as serious a setup as possible so that the surprise deviation from expectation would be as funny as possible.

It's probably just a blanket, especially if you look around the "tail".
I’m a little disappointed there aren’t captions that say “speaking alien” when he talks

It's hilarious how the protagonist is so intense and is stopped and asked by what can be described as cousins of the galactic emperor.

You already know there's going to be a sequel revealing how Jabubu is the exact solution to his problems
The door guards smiling seems like the guys breaking character but also totally works cause they know he’s not not gunna find any guidance there.
I just finished watching "Love, Death, and Robots" Season 2, and this feels like I'm still watching it.
hey bro. I turn 20 years old today, this is a nice gift. you've never failed to make any of these videos...animations, short films, all of it. you deserve every subscriber that you have and much much more, a true innovator like you.
Happy birthday my man
Happy 20th stranger :)
Happy Birthday to you. Thanks for sharing your Joel Haver birthday present with me.
happy birthday mate, im turning 18 today too :D
Ok it is official, I am addicted to this art style.
If there were a Jabubu shirt, I would buy one.
i like how there are some reason 2 guards that ask the exact same question
You can feel the pain in his voice when he said “jabubu” Respect.
The aesthetics in this one are strong. I felt like I was in a movie.
Ah yes, one of the classic steps along the Hero’s Journey!
The title is what we say to Joel for life advice.
Keeps me alive at least
I love both your live action skits and your animations. Both are incredible! However, now knowing just how many hours of work you put in to making these for us, I really appreciate these gems all the more! Thank you Joel and any others, like Trent, who work along side you!
Joel, a show with artstyle like this could easily be on Adult Swim, they would definitely accept you
Why does he need to be on Adult Swim, dealing with cable network BS, when he’s doing fine on his own here?
it's like 40 hours of work for this two or three minute video
he'd have to deal with a lot more work, demanding schedules, contracts, and an entire team to get out enough content to satisfy any network
@@PhoenixKDIX some people would definitely do that for them, they will only have to make a pilot episode
