Elias: your abilities will help you during the unknowing
Jon, 5 minutes into the unknowing: what the FUCK is a cigarette
But in the end, his powers helped Tim see.
My roommates probably think I'm insane I laughed so hard at this!! XD
@fletcher8210 Tim's one liner had me laughing in a way that made my dog look at me with concern.
S1 final: being chased by a horrible worm monster
S2 final: being chased by a horrible monster that is everything expect sasha
S3 final: DANCE PARTY !
S5: Nightmare roadtrip
Jonathan Sims really went up to his parents and ASKED them to yell at him lol
What a legend
*Jon's parent spending 5 minutes ripping at him and calling him a disappointment*
Jon, between tears: "great take guys, sounded very real"
@@maguc5906 lmao I love you
I just realized this lol
They were PAYED to
The Delivery Men: "You don´t even know what a gun is."
Daisy: *goes full savage*
"Bitch, I a AM the gun"
Good ol', Daisy
@@McHelterSkelter Your comment killed me.
@@trystantiffany8854 A gun could too
Daisy got a hint of the Slaughter in her, you guys think?
Martin: I mean, Daisy's a "rabid dog".
Daisy: *attacks the mailman*
Me: 👀
I never even thought about the werewolf lady hating mailmen being a running joke, thank you so much for this fantastic new headcanon
I SPAT TEA ALL OVER MY KEYBOARD BECAUSE OF THIS
when jon said "i see a sad clown" i thought he was breaking fourth wall and talking to me ngl
This is so underrated omg
same
Can I just point out how incredibly cool Basira is? She just *reasons her way out of magic mind-control* with pure steely logic and an iron-clad sense of self. She's *amazing.*
i think she tries to calm herself down but it doesnt help her get anywhere, she just isnt panicking
Okay spoilers but
it got her out so i was wrong. She supposedly crawled out of the radius of the ritual and the bomb. So.. Slay
Edit: i didnt add enough new lines to hide the spoilers the first time
She literally just did a “Ight imma head out” to the unknowing XD
I can't believe they missed the occasion of calling this episode ''stranger danger''
this is brilliant
OH NAW THEY SHOULD'VE
Basira reenacting a small child getting lost in the supermarket
PFFFT underrated comment this is too accurate
THAT’S WHAT THIS FEELS LIKE
"if this is a place, and this is a now, it has and end." - mental health guru basira
Underrated comment
Basira CPTSD-flashback-management-step'd herself out of it.
Logic activated
I did actually find her lines to be rather comforting.
It's impressive.... They have established just episodes before that Jon's power not only makes a person reveal the truth when he asks a question, but clears their mind so they give the fullest truth possible, organizing their thoughts into something coherent.
All of that hilarious, cringy episode was put there to establish the very moment Jon asks Tim who he is and "What are you holding in your hand".....
He's Forcefully clearing Tim's mind so he sees exactly wtf is really going on.
Good catch! I don’t think I ever realised that before! 😲
thats an amazing observation
I can't decide if he would make a great or terrible therapist
I thought he was just grounding him like ppl do when you’re having a panic attack! That makes so much more sense!!
cringy??
Basira's the closest to mentally healthy in the group which is intriguing
I would die for basira
Actually, she's remarkably resilient. She made better use of what she's learned (the eye, y'know) than Jon, without spooky seeing powers. She remained rational when all she had left that was rational was herself. She might have not been in a healthy situation in this ep, but if it weren't for Tim in the beginning she probably would have ended up being the hero.
I feel like Basira's been high on some good weed before so she's got this.
You don’t listen to TMA for mentally stable characters, you listen for the chaos
Or you listen because you love them all too much and you just can't stop getting your heart yanked out and smashed against the pavement every time you hope they'll finally be happy. Help me please.
Also, y'know, I'm a sucker for those spooky metaphysics. Season 5 has WRECKED me so far.
"what does 16 minutes of horror, stress and mild confusion feel like?"
**aggressively points to this video**
severe confusion, actually
*mild* confusion???
this is mild????
MILD??!
Mild confusion more like wild confusion
Didn't expect "the unknowing" to be meant so literal.damn.
Man, same.
The ritual Elias showed them before with these weird machines also involved the protagonist not knowing what his hands were and "making a fist with his feet". Apparently this is something that always happens
@@germanerd6148 yeah that was such a cool detail I totally missed the first time but listening to it again my brain went "ohhhhh"
If I hadn't had full context of this episode I would have thought this would have be cause by Michael
I have to wonder if the Watcher's Crown will be similarly literal
"I suppose you should have remembered that smoking kills" this line is hilarious
or a pipe ;)
The Grimaldi joke did it for me
Truly the second funniest episode yet
If I ever want to experience 16 minutes of pure unending stress I know where to go now, so thanks for that
Seeing this comment along with hearing the first 22 seconds of this video is Very unsettling and genuinely concerning
I keep having to pause and walk around because I keep getting close to a panic attack. This is by far the only episode to do that so I honestly congradulate the team on that. This is the only legitimately scary episode to me by far in this season.
This episode actually gave me a headache 😩 Just pure stress
@@sammieegoldwand On my current relisten (3.) for some reason the anatomy lab episode (teeth apple one) gave me a panic attack, so I get it. It wasn't even scary, and the only time (fingers crossed) any form of media has made me react that way. Props to Rusty Quil and my bad head lmao.
I wonder if it was weird at all for real life Jonathan having the two characters played by his parents rant about how much of a disapointment he is
OOOOhhh, thats so weird XD
"Just like the simulations"
It was all I could think about!
Oh deadass???wild
He’s the writer so I wonder if it was weird for him to his parents ranting about how much of a disappointment he is.
If anyone was curious, the bad joke Tim makes at 15:23 is based on a joke that’s existed since the 1800s (at least) which was about a doctor telling a depressed patient to go see a clown performing (usually called “Pagliacci”), but the patient is the clown out of costume. In the 1910s the joke re-emerged, with the performer (out of costume) referred to as Grimaldi.
After Nikola said “that’s not funny” I said out loud “actually it is, very funny” 😂
@@sabresister Saaaame xD
Thank you for this, I love getting to be in on the joke. 😂 Felt like there was something I was missing!
Great joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum.
Curtains.
I have no choice but to fully respect Daisy for going completely feral to the delivery men. What an icon.
Abandon reason know only war
@Ryan Reffert yesss you got the referance!!!
@@buddyboiwrath488 Ork time.
Every time an entity tells Jon "Nooo" in a mocking sarcastic voice 20 years are added to my lifespan.
and subtracted from his
Damn you must be immortal by now
@@SolarSeaSlug I haven't died yet so there's no evidence that I'm not
I think the strangest thing was not recognising it was Jon speaking at the start. Hearing him sound so confused, desperate and vulnerable with so different from the usual tired and indifferent manner of his speech.
YEAH it was so weird!! And also like really sad once I dis figure out it was Jon???
I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I was like who's that???? Wait- Jon??
I genuinely thought that somehow Martin had gotten there for like a full minute-
Hearing that music and seeing those lights during the first minute of the podcast which is usually the only thing that stays mostly the same for more than 110 episodes and here is completely changed makes me very uncomfortable.
I got big nostalgic feels for how the Gravity Falls finale episodes of Weirdmageddon were also different.
It sent such a shiver up my spine that my neck snapped, really loudly
Yeah.. true to the stranger
It scared the shit out of me
When I tell you I fuckin froze upon seeing/hearing the intro. Holy shit that was powerful.
Tim:“I hear the great Grimaldi is in town. You should go see him. It’ll cheer you up.”
Stranger: “That’s. Not. Funny.”
Tim: “I know.”
But doctor, I AM the great Grimaldi!😂
idk what tim was talking about, that was funny as hell
The growl daisy makes as she gives into the hunt makes me so gay
I want to like this comment but the likes is 69
3:19
yeah
@@poppyseedbagelll Your profile picture is perfect !
@@justeundonut-moi.7979 thank you!!
jon snapping everytime a monster mentions sasha,,, ouch
Even in this state. T_T Even if he might not entirely remember her.
I still snap whenever a monster mentions Sasha they have no right! They're Sasha privileges are revoked
Basira: logics her way out of being lied to
Daisy: anti-logics her way out of being lied to ("its me, Basira" "no, your not, because nothing is anything")
Imagine being gaslit that way...
Ok but that was BRILLIANT??! Like did Jon just use his powers to force Tim to tell him the truth about what he was holding, thus breaking through the Stranger's influence?? THIS MAN IS A DUMBASS, BUT A VERY SMART ONE
I know you probably will never see this response, but I never realized that thanks
@@chrisdino9305 I also didnt realize. Thanks guys!
Jonathan Sims is what high intelligence low wisdom looks like
FRRR 😭😭😭@@StardustLegend
Basira knew basically nothing but still managed to hang so tight to the little she knew to save herself. Queen.
The fact that Jon almost immediately put his trust in them and asks for constant reassurance is not only good for showing the effects of The Unknowing, but it's also an amazing way to show that Jon Genuinely is trusting people, because he Specifically Told Himself he would trust them
the stranger bursts into tears.
says, "but tim, I *am* the great grimaldi!"
You might say they were…triggered.
"I know."
"You sound stressed. You know I hear the Great Grimaldi's in town. You should go cheer yourself up."
"But Tim... I am Grimaldi."
"I know."
I know I shouldn't be laughing but "smoking kills" and the pipe joke are genuinely hilarious oh no
edit: "You are you, and you are in a place. Now." this should be stressing me out but I can't stop laughing
I assume the laughter in that take was genuine, it's just such a funny line
Jon: I'm gonna punch you!
Nikola (?): do you even know what a hand is
Jon: 👁👄👁
The way tim ended up is heartbreaking, but god fucking dam it this was the most badass exit they couldve given him. So cathartic, him confronting Grimoldi and getting to be the last one to crack a joke and have a laugh at their expense for once at last.
What. An. Episode!
THE INTRO STARTING WITH THE CALIOPE MUSIC INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL ONE DESTROYED ME! THE STRESS IS KILLING ME
Jon: Tim! What do you see?
Tim: I see my asshole boss! Wait...
I feel like with the skins Nikola has,she can copy the voices. With Breekon and Hope trying to copy Basira and Nikola trying to copy Tim,they dont have their skin so you cant hear their voice. Also i like to think the tape recorder is like spinning around picking up everyones part of the conversation like its on a merry-go-round!
ogh my god thats an amazing visual for the tape recorder, bc it didnt click on and off
that or the tape recorder is a roomba
The visual of the tape recorder doing that made me laugh
Wow Jon finally using his powers to actually SEE and help Tim in the end
Good job archivist
5:26 = "I'm Sasha!"
"SHUT UP-"
*"NO."*
Love the visuals on the opening :-)
Yes they're brilliant and really up the Creepy Dramatic Climax factor.
yeah they were so good!
Amazing! I really think everyone was a bit too hard on John. After all, he had no idea what was going and wasn't really told anything until long into his taking the mantle of archivist. He was a jerk, but I never felt he deserved quite as much flak as he got. Can't wait to start the next series!
my thoughts exactly! thank you!
he deserved nothing wtf 😭 i love him from ep 1 till now
He's not a jerk, he's a paranoid necrotic stress ball who didnt want to die. His biggest crime was being paranoid around his coworkers, which is honestly understandable since he knows one of them killed his predecessor
@@bandidocavalier Exactly. Not really sure why people are so hard on him. He tries to shoulder as much responsability as he can, and to the best extent of his knowledge (and humanity), tries to protect his friends and employees
tim ily but why'd you have to spend your last words deadnaming the murder clown
LMFASFHJUINJGGU
this actually made me laugh out loud
Big "Statement of Joe Spooky regarding sinister happenings" before getting eaten by worms energy
@Ryan Reffert Also like, its an entity? Not really a person?? So like, can it even be deadnamed??
@@elvingearmasterirma7241 I mean I suppose, Jon is an entity and LGBT and with a man so I'd imagine you can be trans and an entity too 🤔
“Doctor, I’m depressed,” the man says; life is harsh, unforgiving, cruel. The doctor lights up. The treatment, after all, is simple. “The great clown Grimaldi is in town tonight,” the doctor says, “Go and see him! That should sort you out.” The man bursts into tears. “But doctor,” he says, “I am Grimaldi.”
two minutes into this episode and i am already fully aware of the fact that it sounds like what sensory overload feels like
Wait, yeah! You’re right!!
i drink my Respect Daisy Juice
ok bootlicker
@@roadpiglet daisy is the only cop i respect
@@ChiaroscuroPL with her record of police brutality? couldnt be me
@@roadpiglet hey shes dead now lmao
@@epochii2756 dude, spoilers
Jojo fans know, when the opening gets hijacked, you're really in for it.
Looks like it's just Breekon now. Died like an idiot, provoking a hunter. Cheers.
Breekon is now Hopeless
Never Before Have I Tasted Flour best pun ever
I’m proud of this tape recorder for managing to understand the situation better than anything else. Analog tech for the win
THE COLOURS AND LIGHTING ON THE LOGO AT THE OPENING AAHHHH HERE WE GO BOIZ STRESS TIME
I KNOWWWW
i listen to eps on acast first and then come to yt to read the comments, so when i saw the intro i almost died holy shit
Otherwise known as: Jon has the worst trip of his LIFE
I feel like "I see you" is gonna be important idk how yet tho
don't want to spoil too much, but you're right
John also said it when he find out thet Sasha is Not!sasha, so yeah
"you dont even know what a gun is !" "i dont caare !"
“Smoking kills” BEST LINE EVER
The amount of stress I felt throughout the whole episode _cannot_ be healthy.
Poor Jon! He always gets so upset when somebody talks bad about Sasha.
As soon as the episode started I went *oh shit*
EDIT: jupppp that feeling lasted for a solid 16 minutes I'm great I'm good this is okay really
I went "OOH" and my excitement and anticipation built up
mood
the way the focus shifts from person to person, the calliope music playing in the background, makes it feel like we're on a rotating carousel
A few episodes ago, I joked with myself that the Dance of the Unknowing was like Weirdmageddon, but with less geometry. But now I see that it is an awful lot like Weirdmageddon because even the intro is different this time around. XD I think this might be my favorite yet.
Basira is so impressive, mentally walking through this madness
This episode was soooo good !! The sound design of Nikola's voice overlaping Leitner's and Gertrude's ones is so pleasing and well done!
Also I'm gonna hold on to the same hope I had with Sasha that Tim is somehow still alive. Please. I don't want his life to end like this. (It's not gonna happen, I know, but I need a moment okay?)
I think he might have just Jude Perry'd himself into the Desolation. Especially with his recent fascination with destruction and suffering.
I noticed how she said "just close your eye" as in singular, indicating their forms had changed and likely represented the watcher. Just a head with one big eye maybe. I love details like that.
"sometimes I think I’m just not built for names. a hundred puppets, a hundred pointless names"
my nonbinary ass, who changes names every month or so: oh they're just like me...... they're just like me for real 😭
THE INTRO OH MY GOD I'M SHAKING JESUS CHRIST AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
im a little (really) late but I like how Jon still gets so angry at the Sasha impersonation even though he has no idea what the hell is going on
My heart literally burns, I'm fairly sure we just heard Tim die. Fairly sure we just heard him essentially pull the trigger on himself, to hurt the clown sure but.... We never got to hear him actually smile or really be okay ever again. Not once.
No don’t worry he’s fine, he just went on a kayaking trip he’ll be back for the finale don’t worry
The sound design in this episode was so good!
Sacha "Whatever her name was" I'm reeeling
And I realized that I actually don't remember her full name... I cried
I would kill for a full version of the opening music its so good ;v;
I KNOW RIGHT???? GOD ITS SO GOOD
Greg Grimaldis' in town?? He owes me fifteen bucks and I aim to collect!
I see you are a person of culture as well
THANK YOU I couldn't get it out of my head it was driving me nuts that no one else made the reference
I think it's right that john ultimately screwed up and tim is the one who did it
Jon saw, and knew in the unknowing and Kim just did the dirty work
STRESS
BIG STRESS
Big STRESSSSSSSS
The most terryfying thing is that the cigarette joke actually made me chuckle despite horrors happening
NOOO NOT THE INTRO
I feel like maybe Tim always wanted to go out on a badass one-liner.
I only got it the second time listening that Jon questioning Tim is what saved them all. The eye made Tim tell the truth, which cut through the delusion as he answered
This is going to sound really off topic but just hold on, there’s a point. So, I have a neurological condition and one of the symptoms is that I really don’t absorb medication in the same way as everyone else. In hindsight, I should have realised this would be the same for things like cannabis, but I really didn’t. So when I was 22, I had cannabis in tea. To cut a long story short, this entire episode is very reminiscent of what happened to me for 14 hours! 😂
i was just thinking this is how i've felt on multiple bad drug trips on shrooms, acid, and weed. completely losing touch with reality and who i am or how to human
I am the opposite. I have been unable to find a drug that affects me. At all. I am painfully constantly sober, much to my dismay.
Same when basira is tryina find an anker and jon is askin tim what he got in his hand... felt
"You killed him!" Ouch!!! they might be the bad guys but still. Ouch!
I felt so sad for him suddenly...
The conversation from 8:13, especially the joke at 8:24 about smoking, is so goddamn funny to me. I think it might be because I can't take anything Jurgen Leitner says seriously. Also the "cigarette or pipe" wordplay? The "if I wasn't so dead I'd be impressed?" Iconic.
Man, I would be so upset at Elias for upselling "You'll SEE just fiiiine"
I imagine one of the Breekon and Hope guys wearing a fake moustache going "Hello yes I am Basira give me the gun Daisy."
Oh dear god this is 16 minutes of condensed chaos and its making me uncomfortable
NO, TIIIIMMMM!!!
I mean, with all the flags I kinda expected this but it sTILL HURTS.
You know it’s gonna be good when the intro music turns circus themed
Keep thotting it up in heaven king, hope you enjoy your kayaking trip 😔
Honestly, I have kind of a hard time piecing out the differences between the Stranger and the Spiral. All of this deception and tricking the senses really makes me think of the Spiral. I know they all kind of overlap, but it's just kinda hard to parse out sometimes
They’re technically all part of fear itself so
I think the Stranger is supposed to be the hidden and unknown whereas the Spiral is the distorted and half-known.
the Stranger is a perversion of authenticity and originality, the Spiral is a perversion of reality.
The Stranger also pretends to be something when it is something else, while in the case of the Spiral, you can’t be sure if that something is a something in the first place.
I'd say that the Spiral distorts perception, while the Stranger distorts knowledge. With the Spiral, everything around you is unreliable, but you remain. However, with the Stranger, it's your own mind that becomes twisted and warped.
I don't know if this makes any sense? Well anyway, the Entities aren't really separate, individual concepts; the lines that distinguish them are blurred, so perhaps it's natural that they both bleed into each other.
WHY IS THE BACKGROUND MUSOC SO DAMN GOOD IT SENDS SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE BUT ITS SO HYPNOTIC I LOVE IT
“i’m tim, your friend” bro... idk why it kinda hurt
It upsets me that everyone went into this knowing they were likely going to die, but Tim is the only one that did. Jon and Daisy survived out of perverse luck/circumstance and Basira literally reasoned her way out of the absence of reason. But Tim, if he had survived I feel like he could have healed so much and felt like stopping rituals to protect people could have been his new rightout purpose and I would have been delighted to see that growth. But no, we see a man broken by guilt and fear and loneliness kill himself because he can't cope anymore and it's heartbreaking.
- Jon remembered himself and his powers when he was called "Archavist" and used his powers to force Tim to to see the truth.
- Daisy is a Hunter, a follower of the Hunt that is generated from the fear of the hunted animals, she needs no reason to function. Hell, her being in this situation probably made her stronger.
- Barisa is plot armor.
- Tim was suicidal from the moment he know about The Unknowing. He participated in the mission for revenge and his death.
"I don't understand"
"And you never will again :)"
"i see the sad clown, bitter and hateful. I see him finding his way into the circus where nobody knew him. I see him torn apart, becoming the mask, remade by a cruel ringmaster. Sometimes a doll, sometimes a mannequin, always hiding in somebody else’s skin. Somebody else’s name"
omg he DOES see me 😳
Okay great Daisy is definitely the hunt, glad I can confirm that for myself even though others got it sooner I’d bet. Also, NOT HOPE. BREEKON AND HOPE NOO
Basira is an ICON
during the scene where "gertrude" and... "j"... "jeorgon"? you know who im talking about---
were criticizing jon
the image i saw, vividly, in my head, was Nikola Orsinov- tall, sharp, all joints and stretched plastic limbs- looming high in the darkness, her skeletal hands puppeteering the torn skin of the two dead curators
she's almost completely faded against the shadows, gertrude and lightner illuminated by speckled, almost- dusty, spotlights, as they dangle in front of jon
that is such a cool visual!! i personally saw it as nikola kept switching between wearing their faces, like she’d turn her head all the way around or quickly twitch her head and she’d be wearing a different face
Basira staying so level headed was awesome, but jeez i'm very very worried for everyone else.
The moment I heard the different music I _knew_ this was going to be fun and it _did not disappoint._ I think this might end up being my favorite episode, at least for a while.
Really love Tim. The "Joe Spooky" guy became the "I Know 😎 [and then proceeds to explode]"
Wow, what a penultime episode for this season. Basira being an absolute boss and staying as level-headed as possible, Daisy going 100% feral and giving in to the Hunt. Jon being emotionally tortured by the Stranger, Sarah Baldwin making an appearance, and finally Jon helping Tim see the detonator and end things.
One thing I don't get, however, is the Grimaldi reference. Can anyone explain?
I'm pretty sure it's a reference to a circus?
@@miratarnish6316 I got it: Grimaldi was the artist/clown in Martin's story, the one who took his brother? At least it rings a bell.
I was pretty confused about that too actually, so I looked it up on the wiki. Apparently(except for the “Great Grimaldi” part), it’s a line for line quoting of the Pagliacci joke, where a literal depressed clown goes to the doctor and asks for advice on how to treat it. The doctor says that he should visit the Pagliacci show that has just recently come into town, to which the clown responds: “I am Pagliacci.” The exact one can be found on goodreads.
TL;DR: Tim’s referencing the Pagliacci joke.
Jon being confused is delicious
Are you, by any chance, an avatar of the stranger
@@alicepersson9568i figure,tho I’m the avatar of the eye(based on the quiz,No I’m not jarchivist.)
Everyone but Daisy: WTF IS GOING ON???
Daisy: *laughs in gore*
Basira and Daisy are Bosses in completely opposite directions. Meanwhile Tim tells the funniest joke of his career.
