The Restaurant at the End of the World [ The Road ASMR Parody ]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- It's another night in the underground bunker as Papa tries his best to entertain his son (you, the viewer) in this harsh and unforgiving new world.
If you don't know what ASMR is, check the bottom of this description for an explanation.
This parody is based on the film The Road, a favorite and Top 10 film of all time for me. The film is based on Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize winning novel of the same name.
I thought I would take a more whimsical (for the most part) approach rather than regurgitate what one might expect, by recreating and drawing out one of the more memorable scenes from the film that I felt had ASMR potential. I missed a couple of character nuances, such as the father coughing occasionally.
I hope you enjoy, especially if you are a fan of the film and/or the book.

What is ASMR?
To me, ASMR is 2 things: a sensation and a medium (like music for example).
The sensation itself (ASMR) stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current (non-scientific) name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps, but much more pleasant.
ASMR videos, the medium, are not only meant to help induce the sensation or "tingles" in the viewer, but also help provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer. They often help those dealing with anxiety, stress, headaches, insomnia, mental health issues, concentrating, studying and more. It is quite therapeutic, for both the creator and recipient, which is not that much different than the mediums of music and painting, for example.
Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.

"Tonight, we have the fines cuisine the world has ever seen."
*looks at Oreo's*
Seems about right.
You know you're eating at the right place if you see Oreos.
Yes, Oreos are among the best of cuisine. And there is nothing you can do about it.
+Someguyontheinterwebz this is true my friend this is true 👍
Devin Pohl seems legit👌💯
*dips Oreo in Jack Daniel's* Damn Straight.
She was as graceful as a swan and as a ferocious as a lion. But goddamn she was as dumb as a rock. She was a few fries short of a happy meal. - Ephemeral Rift

Chad Holmes the quote is off btw
who will use this quota in real life to confuse your friends
boxfox reyes I did
“Dear People,
thank you.”
this prayer is on another level
XD
Haha so true
It's a reference to the bunker scene in "the road" movie.
This is like what a college student would serve if he ran a resturaunt.
Don't forget the ramen noodles.
jack beason and those ice cube sandwiches
but then The bread would get soggy
LMAO, it doesn't matter all of the wheat is still there.
No. D:

"The finest fresh caught canned boar"
*looks at can of spam*
Roze Z exactly man
Deathwatch2571 tastes like salted beef
Deathwatch2571 if you ever try it, I would highly recommend frying it with sunny side up eggs (that's my favorite way to eat it) and Sam is right it tastes like salty beef, really, salty beef..
If you ever try it...go for the low sodium variant or if you want one of the specialty flavors...eat it in small quantities for obvious reasons.
Roze Z jack Daniels time to get drunk
“It’s practically radiation free”
Theres a key word in there that i am missing
What?
The man said it's practically free and who am i to say no to an almost free meal?
Well you’re not wrong
ITS FREE
Lol ROBLOX It's FREE and it's also NOT FREE!!!!
You mean radiation?
God damn this turned from 'welcome to our post apocalyptic restraunt enjoy your meal, to my wife ran away leaving us alone at the end of the world and I'm all depressed now real quick.
This is The Road, what did you expect?
Its not actually boar.
"Dear people... thank you."
this man can make the heaviest of athiest bow to any god
It's a reference to the road movie. The father and son just found a bunker with full of canned food and he said a prayer to the people who stacked it.

Ok tell em why I was scrolling through the comments with the video on and I came across this comment RIGHT AS HE SAID IT
I know this is a post apocalyptic asmr but it kinda looks like a broken man making his first meal after divorce or some sort of tragedy
Or a broke college student
Toy Shaint so true lmfao
Will 'n Co lmfao
If you know anything about the road this is somewhat true
No broken man would have oreos
Forget about the food, another settlement needs our help

Kainy-Boi Gamer beans are vegitals
YOU ATE ALL MY BEANS, NI--A
That is right
Ha, I have 64 subs with no vids
He even says later "beans beans the musical FRUIT"
Aah yes. Liquor, processed meat, and Oreo. The pinnacle of healthy eating.
"Practically radiation free."

100% food.

way to man up and eat that spam
Yeah, Spam doesn't taste bad to me but that's only because it's insanely salty....
Patton44 (Glo) they have jalapeno spam that is bomb
Patton44 (Glo) Spam Lite actually tastes less like salt and more like some form of meat substance
Ricardo Long when you forgot the ñ I read that in my brain as ju-lap-ano
Dunzee i pan fry my spam in chunks gets ride of some of the salt flaver and its not that bad and its wonderfuly crunchy
I love how you turned this into a sad story of a father and his son trying to stay sane during the post-apocalyptic times and trying to make the best out of the situation

@Katsuki Bakugou what the hell happened the guy deleted his comment so I can’t see
Every time I here someone call him uncle er or papa rift it makes me cringe
I'll take the jack Daniels and the spam
& that water its the fuckin ebd of everything that jack daniels aint gonna last shit
him describing the food is like me presenting a project tbh
The title reminds me of "The Diner At The End Of The Galaxy" (Second book in The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy series)
Is that what it's called where you live? The copy I read was The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
That's what it's called for me, yes. Unless your using sarcasm.
Online Gamer No I'm not I was genuinely curious.
Hey, Don't Panic (references) I was curious as well since most people can be cunts in comment sections (not saying you are one) just taking my chances is all, haha
Online Gamer So what country *do* you live in?
hey rift you should do Edgar Allen Poe asmr
Yeah, something like The Tell-Tale Heart!
ooh yeah😮
Like, The telling of The black cat or telltale heart

When I looked at your comment for some odd reason I thought of Barney even though it's a fallout reference
HA HA Fallout jokes.

I’m just sad that the fact he ate spam without cooking it
It’s already cooked out the can
Most of pre-made food are ready to eat
@Jackson Siskow i find spam mostly unappetizing. Lmao
Damn, near the last half the ASMR got real dark real quick. Well done E.R, I was genuinely surprised how much of a Shakespearean tragedy it sounded like.
*food touches, throws it all away*
I mean, who the actual fuck has tinned fruit and baked beans on the same plate?!
@@aibpresto yeah, the radiation probably deteriorated our brains

i like how at 5:15 you said practically radiation free

Thats what She said but wouldnt completely radiation free be better
"practically"
Restaurant at the End of the Universe next please
so i have an idea for an RP if you want to try it at some point... the alchemist. youve talked about certain characters having specific "secret mixtures" for stuff (like the pet from a man's best friend and the lovecraftian mr rodgers) but it would be cool to get a roleplay with the alchemist who made all of this... maybe add some sounds from mixing things in a wooden bowl, a pestle and mortar to prepare ingredients, bottle cap sounds as you open the containers, hand motions and some R'lyehian as an incantation over the mixture. of course the viewer could be there willingly or brought there to be experimented on. either way i would love to see this done.
Louthinator PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN
Am i the only one to find those foods to actually look pretty good
Edward Brittain really? I’ve personally never tried it, just because of how revolting it looks/smells. What does it taste like?
Edward Brittain yes I agree but I especially love fried spam
@Edward Brittain I lived in Hawaii and they had spam musubi at every gas station. They would cook a piece of spam, put it on a rice block, then wrap it with seaweed. It's a really tasty on-the-go snack! Great with wasabi or sriracha sauce.
@@naughtymelon6712 spam just tastes like a saltier ham to me, and a softer texture. But fried spam with baked beans is delicious.
@@naughtymelon6712 it’s better cooked. Although I’ve personally never ate spam raw.
"We carry the fire" If I remember correctly, that's from McCarthy's 'The Road'
It's a parody of The Road that he's doing, so it'd make sense
Angst read the title
Mingles dumbfuck read
Uncle E, you've absolutely outdone yourself and everyone in the ASMR game. Not only has your content this week been out of this world, it's been an upload everyday, topping it off with this 7 course meal (get it ;)) the camera angles you used to capture the food was amazing. Great job Uncle E, keep up the great work and tingle on
You did a very good job with the back and forth cuts Uncle E. Thanks as always for the tingles.
that's balls out eating spam like that. personally I would have dressed it up just a little bit lol
MechaMario64 what was the presentation about?
Dear people...Thank you.

I don't know if this comment will get to you or not, but I hope it does. I just wanted you to know that I've noticed you have been putting up videos daily and that is AWESOME! you're an amazing artist, and I love your content. anyway I just wanted you to know you're doing an amazing job! keep up those great videos!
Apart from the beans (i'm not a beans kinda guy) i'd eat that in a heartbeat, it looks good.

Rift, you say the word "fresh" so much in this video I feel like I'm in the 80's, not the end of the world.
I have to also assume those matches are home made as well
“Dear people: thank you...”
*looks at camera then shrugs*
Having read and seen The Road for my Sci Fi class in college, this makes this video both better and more depressing for me

dear people, thank you.
Me:😢 that was beauiful
"Dear people, thank you.”

"One french fry short of a Happy Meal." OMG
hey rift! so, a lot of asmrtists make videos where they are the doctor and we are the patient. but why not reverse that? could you make a video where we are the doctor, or the provider, and you are the patient or client? that'd be really cool.
Rainer Stilley a creative idea but in my humble opinion, the challenge would be making convincing asmr in fitting with being the giver not the reciever. he'd have to record twice and layer the sounds because as the giver the sounds aren't near ypu like they are when you recieve.
Rainer Stilley I've been wanting something of this sort for a long time. I think a reverse kidnapping roleplay would work great. Where the asmrtist is tied up. I think it would fit rifts style super well too! You really don't have much to do when you're tied up. So lots of shifting sounds, rubbing of ropes, Maybe even soft pacing? (carpet?). As if someone's keeping watch? Then of course you have the asmrtist asking questions of the kidnappers. Why am I here? etc.. If you got super complex, you could layer in the story through background convos. As if you were eavesdropping on the people/person who tied you up! Maybe even just have one other asmrtist act like they're talking into a phone a wall/room over. I think this could work super well. You could even pull off a go pro style head cam! have rift as kidnapped, and phonecian sailor as the kidnapper. So lots of improv interactions.

I just eat ramen noodles or microwave pizzas that's when my parents don't make supper
This is so sad, I’m in bed laying next to my wife she’s asleep hearing the part about the wife killing her self made me cry cause she had struggled with depression for a couple years she heard me crying and comforted me.

spam. put it on a rectangle of steamed rice and wrap it with seaweed and you've got yourself a Hawaiian delicacy
So he is feeding his son yet lets him drink jacks daniels... not even with bourbon wow what a joke.
How do u get all these halarious ideas!!??

It's based on the movie "the road"
i love ER because any other ASMRtist would have dyed some water or smthn but I know in my bones that he downed that jack daniels like a champ and kept truckin

You know things are bad when Spam is looking to be the fanciest food
If videos didn't tell you when they were published I would think this happens during the covid 19 pandemic.
Rift: Almost forgot your desert, * reaches for oreos * oh yeah saltines!
Spam gets a lot of flak, but let me tell you. Maybe 8 years ago, I was staying with my hrandparents, and my granddad was frying some spam for breakfast. I made a shitty face but I still tried it ya know. Spam is actually pretty good if you fry some up in a skillet, and put it on a sandwich with some swiss, maybe a tomato
Babycakes uhhh....
Nu...
I listened to this and my roommate punch me for it
Feepis spam and eggs
I’d like to think that in the middle of eating he just breaks down crying
honestly I'd eat all of that for dinner on a regular day lol
4 years later 😂
I like how he just puts the word ‘fresh’ in front of every food
Well rift, I made it despite your directions.
Ah, my lovely viewers! Welcome to the restaurant at the end of the world! I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon.
Yeah.
Oh, egads! My wild boar is ruined! But.. perhaps.. what if I were to run to the store and buy SPAM and disguise it as my own cooking? Oh how delightfully devilish, rift.
Rift!
Ah, viewers! I was just uh - just stretching my calves on the windowsil. Isometric exercise. Care to join me?
Why is there smoke coming from your oven, rift?
Oh, that's not smoke, it's steam! From the steamed boars we're having! Mmm, steamed boars.
*Runs off to buy SPAM*
Well viewers, I hope you're ready for mouthwatering spam!
I thought we were having steamed boar.
D'oh, no. I said steamed oars! That's what I call spam.
You call spam steamed oars?
Yes! It's a regional dialect.
Uh-huh. Uh, what region?
Upstate Pennsylvania.
Oh really. Well, I'm from Hershey and I've never heard anyone use the phrase "steamed oars."
Oh, no, not in Hershey, it's a Pittsburgh expression.
I see. You know, this spam is quite similar to the kind you'd buy at the store.
Oh, no. Patented rift spam, old interdimentional recipe.
For spam.
Yes.
And you call it steamed oars despite this was obviously blended into a paste.
Ye-well.. I uhh.. you see, there's one thing I should... Excuse me for one second.
Of course.
Ah, well, that was wonderful. A good time was had by all. I'm pooped.
Yes, I should he-- GOOD LORD, WHATS HAPPENING IN THERE?!
Just a rift opening up.
Uh, a rift opening up at this time of the year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?
Yes.
May I see it?
No.
Margaret: rift the house is on fire!
No dear, it's just the northern lights.
Well rift, you're an off fellow but I must say, you steam a good oar.
Margaret: help! help!

Starr Cat-stellation don’t, I had it at a camp before. it’s gross trust me but you can try it if you want.
I've only ever had it cooked. It's good cooked.
its rly easy to get apocalyptic styled foods. Get a lotta beans or some canned foods. Beat them up or tear the labels off/damaging the labels (best to do both of those options) and bam! you have some apocalyptic foods
As a frequent spam eater, I could not imagine eating that stuff raw even with crackers. I pray that you find a can of butane and a Coleman single stove top burner to get a nice golden seer on that span
