I have this one closet to remember third grade outfits and I really just need to clean it out. There’s bugs in there and everything’s dusty. None of them are even important.
There's this one room that's just a giant safe with all my passwords in it so that I could keep them protected from mind-readers but once I accidentally left my safe password inside the safe and I was too embarrassed to call the safe installers so I just changed all my passwords to the number to the safe installers which is printed on the back of the safe, only to realize that was the password to my safe in the first place, but when I opened the safe I realized I left some food in there the last time and it got expired and smelly and moldy so I just closed the safe before I could get the passwords to change it back, so now I just hope none of the websites I use get their data leaked or I'm screwed.
expected the interrogator to then hop out of the jail (which is his mind palace) to pass that information on to yet another person on a higher level of nested mind palaces
Damnit I literally came to comment this 😂 I’ll just report your comment as cyber bullying and get it removed then post it so mine will get far more attention so when you get back you won’t be nearly high enough on the featured or newly added to take from my likes and replies!! Eh nvm that would take too long and I’ve already lost interest.
I'd love a 52 minute cut of this video where its just the detective's perspective watching this man silently sit with his eyes closed with random awakenings to ask for menial information.
20 minutes pass without a single word being uttered by either of the men. The detective is getting inpatient. Suddenly, the prisoner opens his eyes and speaks up: "The moon controls the tides, right? Like, I could have sworn that-" "Yes. The moon DOES control the tides." "Yes, that's what I thought." "Kind of a trivial thing. Most people know that." "Indeed. It just sorta came up and, you know, I wanted to make sure." "Of course." No one speaks again for the next 30 minutes
video uploaded 6 minutes ago instead of 6 years ago, this is a once in a lifetime chance for me to make the perfect comment....i just forgot what it was. I stored it somewhere.
You actually did make the perfect comment, but I did go back in time and left that comment on a video that came out years ago. It was a really good comment, got a lot of praise but I did add Jar Jar Binks so it’s kinda my own now.
@@finna2160 I've been wondering about that. There are a lot of characters he could fit: Agent Sparxx of In English Please, Agent 17 of Save the Watermelon/Mind Wipe, the chief in One More Thing or maybe the one guy in Moments Between the Montage. He's credited as "detective" in the description, so that leads me to believe he can't be one of the Agents. I'm betting One More Thing at the moment, but I reckon you could come up with multiple narratives
The best part is that an entire mind SOCIETY is implied to exist, firefighters and traffic and large distances, people with different personalities living there just for the sake of world building and consistency.
This video makes me appreciate how cost effective their sketches are. This is a funny premise, shot and edited in a manner that does the most you can with the concept. But almost all the shots are just of Chris sitting there with his eyes closed.
It’s crazy how they made us create our own mind palace by imagining these people. And even the retroactive backflip line forcing you to recall and reimagine.
As someone who tried learning the mind palace technique in high school, this is surprisingly close to what actually happens. I can remember that DNA is strings of proteins that determine both what you look like and what your kids might look like, and everything else is stuck under piles of confusing and useless nonsense. So, just like every other organizational filer I’ve ever used, just in my brain this time lol.
I've done thorough research on mnemonic methods, including the method of loci, which is commonly called the "mind palace" technique. It's incredibly powerful. Of course, after trying it myself and using my palace for everything, I can say that this is pretty much how it goes after a while. No assistant named Shannon, though. And the fire department is grossly underfunded.
This is actually in the tradition of radio plays, which, while it is a bit of a lost art, there is a huge history of them. Check out a Prairie home companion. they had radio play sketches on every episode. And then that show was reworked into Live From Here which has amazing music!
Gotta love looking at the description and not just seeing the usual Sokka being in this (since he’s in everything) but also cameos from the voices of Zuko and Korra! It’s always so fun to see a sign that the VAs of ATLA and LOK keep in touch and see/hear them helping out with each other’s projects.
I'm enjoying these "minimalist filming" videos (like this one and the one with the guy dying in the snow). The writing is the best part of your sketches (IMO) so having them mostly in VO hardly detracts, and I assume it lets you get more out which is GREAT.
I've just been working with a Mind Two-Story-split-level-single-family-with-off-street-parking, but I've been thinking of upgrading to a palace if I can find the right Mind Neighborhood.
Freaking love audio dramas! This whole sketch sort of reminded me of Dream's castle library, from the comic Sandman, which contain a collection of every book that has ever been imagined--even if that book was never published or even written.
That “would you like to make a withdrawal?” line was a PERFECT set up for the spank-bank joke! It was such a weird line on its own, then the punch line walked up right behind me and decked me with a frying pan.
I think this is a really awesome skit, at its core is just two people sitting for 6 mins which could get boring but the writing, the character acting, music/soundeffects, and the pacing all make it super enjoyable. Very good work very impressive
This is what it's like to talk to an MC in anime. He just goes to his mind palace for 20 min to break down what just happened and the other people just have to wait.
Everything about this video was so spot on. Amazing voice acting and audio design. I could picture everything happening as if I was watching it. Bravo fellas

Chris' juggling really helped me train for this moment.

Have all the actions with just voice acting and sound effects😊
The actor that plays Shannon is an amazing acrobat, that backflip was INCREDIBLE!
And they shot on-location for the indescribable view from atop the ladder!
And then Shannon did a backflip, snapped the bad guy's neck and saved the day

This isn’t the greatest comment in the world…this is just a tribute.
Chris and Jack’s ability to make a sketch with just a bunch of shots of Chris and some voice over is remarkable

@@xaenr480 Shannon even calls him Professor Buddy
Omg he even has Shannon in his mind palace!! What good friends they are :)

I lost it at "Youre a good dude, Shannon!"
"We're really against it now, Shannon!"
What a perfect Mind-Palace. Good location, spacious, room to grow a family. It even has a "working" elevator.
Shannon really is the unsung hero of the Mind Palace Show. Haven't been so inspired by a character in years!
The best part is that an entire mind SOCIETY is implied to exist, firefighters and traffic and large distances, people with different personalities living there just for the sake of world building and consistency.
Does he pay mind taxes to the mind city to fund the mind firefighters?
@@Paul-A01Don't forget his mind job

I love that they portray the mind palace using our own mind palaces
🤯
bro the avatar cast cameos are WILD
They had Toph on one too recently haha
really? which one @@jonbaxter2254
"I went into my own mind palace to try and remember it but most of the doors were locked."

The fact that we got Sokka and Zuko living in the mind palace is bonkers
I didn't know that until I saw in the comments. That's cool
It’s crazy how they made us create our own mind palace by imagining these people. And even the retroactive backflip line forcing you to recall and reimagine.
Or imagination instead of misuse a perfectly clean mind palace.

The next step is creating your own Shannon-Tulpa
Only you guys could pull off a genius sketch that is mostly just audio 😂
This is actually in the tradition of radio plays, which, while it is a bit of a lost art, there is a huge history of them. Check out a Prairie home companion. they had radio play sketches on every episode. And then that show was reworked into Live From Here which has amazing music!
Jack is actually a famous voice actor (he was Sokka in avatar the last airbender) so it's no surprise they're great at an all audio sketch like this.
Gotta love looking at the description and not just seeing the usual Sokka being in this (since he’s in everything) but also cameos from the voices of Zuko and Korra! It’s always so fun to see a sign that the VAs of ATLA and LOK keep in touch and see/hear them helping out with each other’s projects.
i love all the recent sound focused skits!! it’s really amazing how much of a difference good sound effects and a competent voice actor can make
5:38 professor lausten your time is impeccable as always, I love that reference
It’s very compelling to watch a man sit with his eyes closed as he goes through his imaginary magic world
I love that professor buddy is now a recurring character. And it's cute that he still thinks of shannon.
Great sketch!
The voices on this are insane
The fastest 6 minutes of my life that i wish i could experience all over again.. this sketch is perfect.
This mind palace needs an audio comedy spinoff
The stellar voice acting really helped sell the bit when it was just Chris with his eyes closed. You guys flexed here and I really enjoyed it!
I'm enjoying these "minimalist filming" videos (like this one and the one with the guy dying in the snow).
The writing is the best part of your sketches (IMO) so having them mostly in VO hardly detracts, and I assume it lets you get more out which is GREAT.

I've just been working with a Mind Two-Story-split-level-single-family-with-off-street-parking, but I've been thinking of upgrading to a palace if I can find the right Mind Neighborhood.
The "F room for F locations" is such an honestly accurate brain organizing thing and the Spankbank bit is pure gold
I love how this entire sketch is just a way of saving money on production value. Actually genius like old cartoonists.
This is what I imagine the riddler’s mind would sound like

Who is he?

Have to wait 52 minutes only for them to remind you that you get out of the elevator by just imagining yourself out of the elevator.
6:01 I was already half expecting it to be a headspace. So that caught me so off guard-💘
Thanks!
Thank you!!!!
That “would you like to make a withdrawal?” line was a PERFECT set up for the spank-bank joke! It was such a weird line on its own, then the punch line walked up right behind me and decked me with a frying pan.

I can't believe YT never recommended me this channel. Your videos are perfect xD

This & the recent Wizards with Guns sketch show how funny dialogue can carry a sketch with only one or two camera angles. 👏😂
Why does this work so well as a radio show?? 😂
this skit would work unironically well audio-only. also i have been laughing to the point of tears for the last minute
