All of these Rabbit Hole videos are so dark. Bart Simpson was right, _“you’d think a house full of crazy people would be fun, but it’s actually really depressing.”_
Its kinda reminds me of Nietzche:
" A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum proves that faith does not prove anything."
The hurdy gurdy video is a refreshing change of pace in that regard
@@keyworksales6241 someone just learned some new words! good for you kiddo, though I think you need to refine your understanding of what they mean just a wee bit
Why would anyone think a house full of crazy would be fun? A crazy girlfriend, that's fun, but a crazy family? Hell no.
Especially when you just listen to the detractors and release kill videos.
A man trapped in a room by his own body, forced to play games he hates and read abusive comments for money. What Black Mirror episode is this?
Indeed. The dystopia is now.
Forced?? He isn't 'forced' to do anything, he can stop streaming anytime he likes. He just won't, because he's much too lazy to search for a job or make any attempt to reintegrate himself back into society?
@@InColdBloodTTG He wasn't being literal, dude. Chill.
@Haku I don't think you know him personally either, you just wanna ride the moral high ground here.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Keemstar being part of the early Wings saga was like a prequel movie where a future villain makes a cameo as an apprentice
Devin Samuel lmao world building !
"You either die a hero... or live long enough to see yourself become a villain"
@@danielgiovanniello7217 except he was an asshole since day one.
He was awful since day 1. He's the exact same person now as he was back in the day, just with more money.
The Wings Extended Universe
When Syndicate killed Wings and he broke his controller, a guy named “OMGJustragequit” sent a party invite
You know his video is old when he asks for stars instead of likes
Pepperidge farms remembers
Here's mister Holmes solving another incredibly cryptic case
There are people watching TH-cam videos who might've not been alive when the star rating existed
@@JarJarBinks4ever Why'd you have to make me feel old like that
You know it's old when Keem isn't acting like a total doucher.
Only Keemstar would mass flag someone's channel and then complain that he's doing the same to him
Only you would blow up a dullahan’s castle and then make darkness suffer for it
Remember the time Keem was making fun of a mentally ill man then pretended he was his best friend after he committed suicide?
@F.u.c.k Go.ogl.e spell right first lol
F.u.c.k Go.ogl.e good to see they let the folks down at the looney bin access the internet
@@williehawaii9967 I understood that reference.
-Wings has an honest-to-God breakdown
-Still half an hour left in the runtime
Oh no
🤣🤣🤣🤣 i still got an hour and i keep thinking the same thing!
yeah hes too soft.
@@herogibson for a person that cant handle criticism at all he got pretty far in youtube so theres that
@@WeroVarela619 yeah and people bought william hung's cd after he made an ass of himself on american idol. im not surprised. america loves a train wreck
@@herogibson if we think of the whole world as one big family house, United States is that one uncle that is doing surprisingly well for himself but hes yet to get married and spends most of his days infront of the TV
This story has always struck me as such a pitiful tragedy. Wings is a dude with a lot of very valid anxieties but every single time he can make a choice of how to deal with them he chooses the most toxic one. He needs attention from people but he also hates it because attention means pressure and pressure means failure and failure means perceived worthlessness and he can’t handle that. He wants support but he hates asking for it and he wants to be understood but he hates being known and he wants to win but he hates to lose and it’s just… it’s sad, man.
Yeah, I've been there. As much as the guy is a dick, I can't help but pity him
I've been there with weight. Not nearly as much as him, but I was nearly 300lbs at one point. At that point it just seems so insurmountable. When you exercise, you're paranoid people are judging you, you wanna just eat food because youre in a shit mood all the time, it takes such deep reserves of willpower to start shifting the pounds.
I've lost 4 stone since last year but it's been difficult. I honestly hope Wings *can* find a way to shift his weight because he'd actually become such a better person for it. Not cause fat people are evil or some dumb thing like that, but because he would *know* he isn't a failure, no matter what anyone tells him
This is too perfect of an explanation of Wings.
The only thing I’d add is that in many of these situations he’s trying hard to control everything. He wants to control the narrative, people’s actions, what people say about him etc. He especially does this when he says something shocking and gets called out for it. He wants to say stuff to shock people (like the story where he claimed to have left a cat under a bucket and forgot about it), but doesn’t want to deal with any repercussions that come with it.
@@blueorpheus5693 I wonder if he's acutely aware he can't control everything (or even anything, at this point), and that's why he tries to. He seeks to prove himself wrong, even though deep down, he knows he's right
I wonder which came first, his desire to control, or his knowledge that he can't
Unrecognized and unresolved trauma is a helluva thing.
its the driving force behind why I, 1: don't want to get into online competitive gaming, and 2: why i try not to share super personal information online. i already look like a toxic incel, id rather not let myself actually become one. because i know i would not be able to handle an environment like the one wings initially put himself inn.
The story of a guy who needed therapy like yesterday, and instead got the gaming community
Something tells me his mom is a big part of his problem.
Needed therapy and got toxicity instead... tragic.
So true
@@BuceGar 100%
* And instead wasted 20 grand on a 4 cylinder Shitstang that he can barely fit in.
There, fixed.
I like how keemstar keeps randomly appearing in internet history like hes a fallout encounter
>Like he's a Fallout encounter
Lmaoooo, true AF
He’s the NPC we all try to kill but can’t.
This is the guy who defended Daddy o Five and he can honestly go fuck himself.
@@WillieManga Yeah he's a real piece of shit. His political takes tend to be just as bad as his internet drama involvement, too.
He’s soon to disappear from history since he is an active Trump supporter and cheered on the Capitol riots
There is something strangely compelling about an online shoot-out being described in such detail like an actual historical battle. Who took high ground, who changed tactics, etc
Ikr it’s super interesting and honestly wouldn’t more content like this even tho it’s not Fredrick’s thing really
Not even close to reality, thats the midset of a child. Its so insignificant compared to actual real world history. There are millions of people who have never heard of either of them.
dirty joe hey pal we just think it’s fun ok?
@@pokemonsisters fair enough, i apologize.
Yeah, I'd really like to see him cover some EVE battles that way.
Revisiting this video and the moment where Jordie breaks the controller and Woody says “we’ve all been there” and Jordie says “fuck you” is a lot. Woody was being a great friend and Jordie just threw that back in his face. Damn.
Yeah that “… me?” from Woody always made me sad.
Fuck that obese pos and cuck him too
@@FLy1nRabBit”it was your idea-“ too. Woody was genuinely hurt.
he was clearly abusing woody and projecting...not right to treat people who look out for you in that way...
@@sunniwithanithat cracked me up
Woody tried SO HARD, to keep Wings afloat. He tried SO HARD to keep his feet on the ground. He was a true friend. I think the worst thing Wings has done is completely ignore Woody's friendship and not listen to what he said.
To have a good friend, you need to BE a good friend.
Wings has no idea how to do that.
Poor Woody, such a good soul
Really? Maybe they meant well at some point, but from what I can see they were all toying with him a bit. He was a challenge, another game. A true friend would have recognised that Jordie needed inpatient psychiatric therapy. A true friend wouldn't go publicly streaming all the details. This is more like reality TV with no oversight.
@@dittikke nah like I get ur point but if they're ur friend you try your hardest to help but if they are fine with streaming and aren't helping themselves not much you can do literally. Like they cant just cut him off from their group if they're streaming think of how much worse that would have went
@@joshuaslowey71 That's my point, there's nothing they could do. Most of us have known people we've wanted to help but couldn't. And some of us have had more than a bad day ourselves. It's frustrating and soul-destroying and everything when all friends can do is provide a list of phone numbers to call, but we learn from it and move on without commodifying the experience.
I'm not suggesting they cut him out of the group, but why do they have to "fix" him? It was supposed to be a gaming gig.
It's ok, I know, it was part of the show and yes they were all ok with it, but it's like they'd all made some kind of agreement to use each other for their own "career". That's not a friendship, it's more like a working relationship where what they're selling is their personal life for a bit of shitty online drama. I don't see how that can go well.
Wings gets a pass from me as he genuinely needed professional help. He was also easy to manipulate. The others, nope. They're adults, they're not stupid or anything, and they knew from the start that Wings was emotionally unstable. I don't even think they're bad people but good people can have terrible ideas. Even so, they instigated this shit show, it's 100% on them when it goes tits up.
Really appreciate the in-depth breakdown of the duel with Syndicate. Any other guy probably would’ve just summed it up with “They have a fight, Syndicate wins.”
Yeah that shit was awesome with the whole map layout with the arrows, seriously engaging shit even though its just some weird neck bearded call of duty nerd getting smacked by a call of duty player who is otherwise a normal person.

They have a fight

Going so in-depth into it must've been one of the reasons why this video took so long to produce. Fredrik must've watched the footage again and again. Now that's dedication to his craft.
Wasnt Syndicate that undisclosed gambling promotion guy?
@@iunary Yup. One day you're an underdog taking on an asshole with a massive ego, and the next you're trying to scam kids out of their money from underage gambling. Funny how things turn out.

I love your channel!
This video made me realize we need a Keemstar one. Dude isn't just a drama queen but he has been involved in so much unsavory stuff for years.
That video would be ten hours long
@@sicksalt7765 😅😅
Thank goodness other people are still visiting this video
@@GenesisTheKittybig ups to liquid Richard he beat the surgery 😎
theres very good videos about keemstar
I just watched a 2 hour documentary about a TH-camr I literally never heard of until this video. My priorities are straight.
It’s great seeing people like you are finally becoming aware of him. I’ve known about him since 2009 or 2010, then rediscovered him in 2017 when he had that breakdown on stream when he was playing COD:WW2 and I’ve been following him ever since. It’s so fascinating seeing how a 32 year old manchild reacts to people he’s never met saying mean things to him over the internet. Same with Boogie.
Its okay anon
Do you want to be my friend
I feel you.
I did the same thing, and I'm french...
LoL... Def got yourself sorted... Just like me watching it too... Hahahaha
@@BeatIoaf you captured Richard perfectly he is truly fascinating to observe. I've never been one to troll myself or even follow specific youtubers or twitch streamers but something about this guy and his following just entertains me
It's funny listening to Syndicate talk about how he'd never stoop to a low level for money. Then gets busted for hosting a scam CSGO gambling site.
Also Keem harassing people and playing victim is like the only thing he knows how to do aside from lie and act like a bitch.
Yeah, this entire video feels like a prequel movie where the Villains make a cameo.
@Max Spies it was highly illegal and even worse than a scam. Lmfao.
@Max Spies It was a scam because the he fixed rates to make it look good on his videos when he owned the site. That's called scamming.
@Stefano Pavone We've all done some bad stuff at some point yes. We're not doing super illegal shit like ProSyndicate or are sociopaths like Keemstar though
All this because he couldn’t say “hey good game man, you beat me fair and square”
Colt JL Ikr lol
Always type ggwp
That's the scariest verity I've seen on the TH-cam comments section.
#Facts
he was trash talking syndicate before and during the game. He kept on violating syndicate and when he lost, there was no way he was gonna say GG, he had a lot riding on the 1v1 cuz he talked so much shit. If he would have said gg he’d still be relevant
And that's not the crazy part. The crazy part was that he was making almost $10k a month during this time. Went from making, roughly, $120k a year to e-begging.
If Wings simply said, " well, that's what I get for talking shit, good game Syndicate", everyone would have respected him tremendously. It wasn't even a crushing defeat, but his reaction turned it into one. It's a shame really.
if wings said “syndicate dont try to invest in gambling sites, i sense a bad fate should you walk down that path my brother.” he’d be championed as an oracle and raised to the highest peaks of human culture
@@plasticsand9370 this shit has me crying bro 💀😭
Started his downfall really! I wonder if that would a made a difference for him. I doubt it given his negative disposition.
Yeah, had he laughed at himself and apologized, most of his viewers would have forgiven him and brushed the whole thing aside. Too bad his ego was much too fragile.
@@LordVerdo tbf, him saying that would've already required him to NOT be negative at all, if it wasn't for the 1v1, something else would've been the last straw.
him being chill with the loss wouldn't be thing that could've saved him, rather, it would've been an indicator that he himself was a chill guy, thus changing his entire timeline and making this entire video, comment section and discussion, not exist.
Man, the dude's life legitimately sucks, but then he goes about telling people he wants them to die and it's so damn difficult to actually sympathise with him.
megafire7 growing up on the gaming community in the mid to late 2000’s that’s how everyone was, even worse. If you played cod religiously like I did, you would here all kinds of shit on the daily, and the things that wings would say is on the cusp of that.
I'm sorry but something is wrong with you if you can't get past that or theorize why he might've said those things
he still a prick to this very day.
He has the mind of a child.
@@HugoStiglitz88 explaining a dudes behaviors and actions is way different than being a bitch and excusing it, excuse you
TH-cam really is just high school with even less adult supervision.
Could you imagine your grand parents ever putting so much work into trying to destroy someone.
They maybe used to bully someone at school but they were to busy with their own lives to spend time hurting someone for fun otherwise..
To many evil people.
No, the Internet at large is the Wild West. TH-cam is just one frontier town with an overzealous sheriff. The further away from the popular websites and closer to the Chans you go, the less zealous the sheriffs get, until you reach absolute lawlessness and anarchy.
was, and still is but youtube is also the bully bullying everyone but the giants
Yes YES IT IS.
And it's a better teacher.
Why is it I feel dread every time i hear “then he joined machinima”
Machinima is such a shit company
Machinima was the dark lord and it raised it's fair share of Saruman
Even way back in the day, I could tell Machinima was shit
Those were dark times
Thankfully I only remember BF2 machinimas because I barely watched any content from there.
This person is who I am fucking terrified of becoming, all of my insecurities are personified in a person.
Right there with you
And although they feel real, you know your insecurities are exaggerated and you can't actually be that bad, but then there he is, Wings, just sitting there as proof that it is possible to fall that far if you make enough bad choices.
Just you being aware of your insecurities/flaws already makes you way ahead of this guy
@@CieraMychele Did you watch the video?
I think that’s why this video is so interesting, we all have a little wings in us and he’s the example of what happens when you let self destructive tendencies spiral out of control
Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
Success so clearly in view,
Or is it merely a trick of the light?
ur the guy from the video game
Be wary - Triumphant pride precipitates a dizzying fall!
How quickly the tide turns.
That’s why I hate myself :D
Seeing keemstar in this is like seeing Palpatine in the prequels
Quality reference.
A surprise to be sure!
But a welcome one
_its treason, then_
hello there
I love how Keemstars character arc is like a subplot in this thing
He’s involved in a lot of things. He’s like a reoccurring character of TH-cam Lore.
It's like the Empire Strikes Back of the WingsOfRedemption Saga.
@@nono9543 so is Metokur but they're both vile people.
It kinda reminds me of the Darth Jar Jar theory but, in this case, it's true.
@@AirahsELL what?
Seeing the end credit chat between Wings and Woody is so bittersweet.
Woody is still friendly and the banter is still there but you can feel the distance and lack of the close friendship they once had. Wings fucked up and broke it and he can't put it back together again.
Woody seemed like such a genuine and supportive friend but now he'll always just be a distant polite acquaintance at best, more likely one day a complete stranger.
Heartbreaking
I would personally feel so unbelievably grateful if I had a friend like Woody. He seems to have near bottomless patience with people and seems like a kind soul.
Early Keemstar looks like he lives on a strict diet of Doritos and Limp Bizkit albums
Kaitlin Dedman I lost it at this, thank you
I can only ever see Keemstar with the gnome beard so seeing him without it was jarring to say the least
This is hilarious
Holy shit lmao
You say that like it's a bad thing, which it is.
>2 hours and 8 minutes
>not a livestream archive
No wonder this took a while, gotta clear my schedule.
Fuck my schedule...Life has to wait
SAME
You have to clear your schedule to watch a movie?
He speaks clear enough to play it at 2x speed. I suggest move it to 1.5x and once comfortable just move it up to 2x. It's amazing how quick the human brain will adapt.
Put in some earbuds and hit up the gym 🤣
You know what's really strange? These are all full grown men acting like they're starring in Mean Girls.
Giovanni Giorgio whatever makes money
Tbh this made me chuckle
are we gonna sit here and pretend Keemstar isn't the Regina George of TH-cam though?
Hahaha something the doc would say
@@j-skullz I would say that but wouldn't that make Wings the gay guy in it? You know, the one with the pink shirt
Woody's "...me?" Quote after Jordy says fuck you always makes me so sad. Woody is so hurt in that moment:(
Just saw that.. damn that hurt me and I’m not even Woody!

Apologies but I can't be arsed watching the whole thing again, what's the timestamp for this?
38:46 -- "Jordi again spawned on the trashpile."
A two hour video in one soundbite.
10/10 this made me full laugh out loud.
@@luxuryxcoffin There is nothing called 'full laugh'. Tsk tsk... It is either semi-laugh or laugh.
I also liked when he was speaking Ebonically and then says "excuse me I got a little bit of a head cold" in quite the white voice. 😂
I read this and just noticed this is 2 hours long. Fuck me. This is gonna be an ordeal.
Kaare Withersmann a laugh is a laugh, you can’t say its only a half
Hearing Keemstar calling somebody a bully is a mindfuck for sure.
Xpouii - Hearing Keemstar sound like the better person is a mindfuck
I hate Keemstar for what he is now, but he was a legit back then.
especially when he built a career based on bullying people on videogames. amazing.
He goes after people dumber than him really aggressively cause he knows they make him look smarter
It was weird seeing his origins. I only know him from the negative stuff he's said about mental health... I guess if you surround yourself with hate for so long, it changes you.
I feel so sad for woody, you can hear the actual hurt in his voice when he says "but...
It was your idea"
Can you get me a time stamp?
@@anonymousotaku6002 42:40 sorry I don't know how to put time stamps :/
@@Maggot-Milk hey you did it just fine. Thank you very much. Woody didn't deserve any of that. Hopefully he has better friends now
@@Maggot-Milk I just relistened to it and woody is so mature it's honestly such a good look on him.
@@anonymousotaku6002 hopefully :)
I really disliked Jordie's comments about how ditch diggers "fucked up in life." No, those are people that often choose to work various public service jobs so people like Jordie have roads they can drive on. Or buildings that are well maintained he can enter. Or have clean streets not overrun with trash because someone chose to get into sanitation.
So, again, he's a privileged princess who doesn't actually have to work for a living and thinks he's a superior breed of person. Shocker.
I'd rather dig ditches than be Wings
I agree but tbh i don't believe people wake up an have to go to their "ditch digging" job or any equivalent job and think to themselves im doing this to make the world better. They are doing it because its all they know if you gave anyone doin those jobs a chance at more they'd take it. Even if it means the roads are slightly worse off 🤣
@@jamesmcguinness6195 someone's gotta do it, maybe not because it's their first choice of job you're right, but the last thing anyone should do is shame you for your occupation
That ditch digger isn't 400 pounds you fat slob. Hard days work would break this soft meatball.
This is the most detailed play-by-play I've ever seen of the Syndicate vs. Wings match.
10/10 match analysis, would watch again
That was really well done
LOOK HERE, LOOK, LISTEN!
Mar Vill hope it tanks loser
@Mar Vill ....
It’s like watching somebody who made the wish “I want to make money playing video games” on a monkey’s paw
Lol
Eh Simpsons.
Well-said.
@@Aaron-is8yt its a book originally. I recommend listening to Chilling Tales for Dark Nights video on the Monkeys Paw, really fun and old story. We should get a Hollywood take on it to see how they would handle it. With the right director and script can create a freaky psychological horror.
@@KingRumar I personally think a film based on any of these stories should have little to nothing to do with Hollywood.
Only Fredrik can commentate on a Call of Duty match and make it sound like a classy chess game
ProHeroAll-Might it would be great if he just took down his opponents with actual strategy and racked up a huge kill count. All the while talking over it like Lawrence from Pokémon 2000
Plus you don't have to watch the actual video and hear the dozens of Xbox notification sounds that goes throughout it
I was playing some epic classical music from a war documentary in my head the whole time he described it.
Yep XD
I know, I already knew how it ended but that play-by-play had me on the edge of my seat thinking he would somehow catch up.
Keemstar calling someone else a bully was such intense irony that my soul shriveled up into a raisin.
He is better now but wow what a horrible person he was when he was younger.
Most TH-cam docs: 10 minutes, just touches on stuff, repeats itself
Rabbit Hole: 2 hours, comprehensive, bloody amazing
It’s so well done!!!! Editing, writing, all of it
He's a scholar and a gentleman.
This channel is like Internet Historian but depressing.
@MC Cooper Yep dark comedy at it's finest.
Hey, dark comedy is still comedy.
This is why I love Laughter, and the film version of "Zorba the Greek".
Did you say, Punk?
I think Frederik takes a far more human approach to lolcows than most and that's what I like about is channel. It's easy to forget these are real people sometimes.
Don't lob factual statements as if they'll change things!
the cod duel in this video was treated with the gravity of the iran hostage crisis lol
Gammon Favreau too true
Gammon Favreau I knew the outcome and It still filled me with more anxiety then almost every movie I've ever watched
It's some good writing and editing on his part
It was so interesting to watch, honesty I loved it
The most exciting thing I've watched on TH-cam in awhile haha
One of the most heartbreaking parts of this is seeing his playful, supportive friend group go from trying to help him out, council him and provide good energy to openly talking about how awful he was to deal with and mocking him. He proved so toxic that they don't feel they owe him any more kindness or sympathy.
Keemstar “I get you’re a bully, you get off on bullying people.” Well that’s the most blatant pot calling the kettle black statement I ever heard
Waiting for the guest who just knocks him straight the fuck out.
@@TimedRevolver Can't wait
Timed Revolver We all do.
If anything that just means Keemstar can understand where hes coming from
Why do you think they met up later on and were friends lol
I feel like you can piece together a complete Keemstar origin story though all these different video essays about failed TH-camrs

I can't believe Wing's fucked up his relationship with Woody. Woody was such a great friend to Wings.
Woody got wood.
As far as I know, Wings actually apologized to Woody. Pretty sure he has a video up of it and they reconciled in a call on Discord a few months ago.
@@McNugget_Buddy Woody shouldn't have done it. Wings will never learn.
i hope they'd reconcile. despite everything, things can still work out and i doubt they dont have any affection or care towards each other anymore
Eh, I can, I've ruined great friendship by just not being there.
As someone with depression, it's really hard to watch Wings' life spiral down. Moments like 1:35:40 you can see how much pain he's in. You can see he is TRULY hurting. But he sees himself as a perpetual victim and never takes real accountability for his life, happiness, or health (physical and mental).
I want to cheer for him. I want him to get better. But there are deep rooted mental health issues he refuses address.
His line "I hate my life" gives the mindset away. I used to be like him, and the way people like that see life is as a static set of circumstances you're given. But now I see life as something you work on, like a painting or a car. There are some limits you're faced with or things that are just circumstance, but just as much of life is the result of your choices.
Update: Him and Boogie are getting together to start a podcast. Might be worth checking out if you want to help him but not encourage/support his bad habits.
@LateNightTableCo That's actually extremely interesting, because while I was watching the Boogie documentary he reminded me directly of the Wings I saw in this one. From those depictions of their lives and mentalities, the both of them seemed to me (absolutely not a psychiatrist) to be "covert narcissists" and I thought that, if they met, they'd find validation in each others' bad habits and victimhood mentalities. I was kinda hoping it wouldn't happen, because I assumed it would be terrible for both of them as human beings, but here we are. I hope my theory of them enabling their own bad habits and refusal to take accountability won't come to fruition.
As far as I can tell, the only way for the two of them to get better is to stop deflecting and acting like the victims of some uncontrollable circumstance when they are the victims of their own decisions. And when people point out what they're doing wrong, don't assume the comments must be made in bad faith; more bullies from the mean ol' internet who just want to see them suffer because they cannot accept that they brought the hate on themselves through their actions, but acknowledge what is wrong with their behavior and change it. When Wings turned on Woody after the duel... that was hurtful. These actions cause genuine damage, but if they can only see themselves as pure victims, they'll never acknowledge how their behavior hurts others.
I don't. His return from winning the boxing fight could've brought his old viewers back if he started losing weight and humbled himself. But no. He literally went back to Rainbow/MW3 streams with the same attitude like nothing ever happened. He's still banning members, still raging, still begging for donations.
@@thehungrylittlenihilistThe reason he sees his life like that isn’t some lack of motivation. It’s mental illness clouding his reality.
You treating mental illness like a “mindset” that can be overcome through rational thought is insane.
WoR put a request on Twitter in like 2011 for anyone with guitar experience to give him tips via Skype, and I replied and got in a conversation with him on Skype.
I tried to get wings to press down on fret one of his E string- and he literally didn't have big enough hands or enough hand strength to press the string down and play a note. I tried correcting his wrist mechanics and grip on the neck, this went on for about 20 minutes and he couldn't get it and hung up.
There's no one else I can tell this story so there you go.
Wings literally has chicken wings and fingers, so no surprises there.
lmao, this story could finally shine
Lol wut? He must have tiny Ass hands
My grandpa was the same way. Weak grip soft fingers that can't press hard enough. It's frustrating to not be able to play an instrument you want to play

That offer was disgusting that he made to Syndicate, what the hell was he thinking?
Syndicate only accepts money from kids he scams with CS:GO casinos.

LMAO nice

damn what an underrated comment man
@ayyy__donkey that was four years ago? Holy shit that felt like a year ago
I knew that nickname sounded familiar.
It’s so weird how he will explain with perfect accuracy why he’s unhappy then invent endless excuses for why he can’t do anything about it. Psychology is weird man.
Its really hard to watch. Knowing its in his control and pushing himself further down; exasperating it all. Relatable to a point.
it's not just him. I've known people to be stuck in dead-end jobs, knowing they could do something with that fuckin biology degree or some shit, but not wanting to get rid of their stable income to chase something they'd actually enjoy. my girlfriend does front end web programming and despises every second of it, she has dreams of going back to school and becoming a doctor of biology, but she just won't do it because it's hard to look at $3500/month of stable income and say "yeah, I can change fields now"
Well in my opinion and experience that's a big part of the process of depressive people. "Not being able to do anything about it" frees you from responsibility about your situation. Yeah it leaves you miserable and self-pitying. But that's often a better place to be than "I could have pulled myself up and didn't". This rejection of responsibility for oneself takes many forms: fake nihilism (nothing matters anyway, why bother?); extremly low self-esteem (I'm don't actually deserve to get better); shifting blame (it's everyone else's fault), and so on.
@@davidbaptist96 Well-said.
Biting the bullet is hard. There is a real threat of failure. Or just discomfort.
It seems wingsofredemption was stuck in a hard position. Lots of money and comfort. He'd probably need to go back to some low end job. Tough decision.
A good example of the grass being greener on the other side.
Hearing younger Keemstar pant into his microphone took 12 years off my lifespan
Time stamp?
Omg nevermind wtf
I love how the capitons had the word "red" in red
Probably for the best tbh
That was an unpleasant experience, I agree.
I thought it was funny, man.
I really hated Wing’s “ditch digger” comment, my Dad went from digging ditches on construction sites to VP of a national construction company. He did everything he could to give me and my brother a good life and literally went from the bottom to the top. He’s my hero, and he put in all that work for that roll of shit to belittle him and his employees as “someone who fucked up their life”
There never was a reason to give any of his views or opinions validity/legitimacy, it's just a tad easier to understand now in hindsight. A ridiculous person spouting ridiculous things for shock comedy (many of us, particularly younger demographics were more prone to "edginess" during that era tbf), and the comments he made towards Whiteboy from that same interview should be all you need to hear to disregard anything surrounding them.
Especially since it's a necessary and important job that needs to be done. In my country, street cleaners and bin men earn an absolutely ridiculous amount of money _because_ it's a thankless, but very important job.
That's why we have really clean streets - people are paid the value of their work, and in return they do their work well.
Respect to your old man. No shame in honest, hard labor
It pisses me off too, I want a career in arts since I'm a writer but I have huge respect for guys in engineering and construction. My family made their money in engineering, and I appreciate guys in any kind of construction as being the literal backbone of their country. They make sure we can drive on our roads, that we can flip our power switches, everything. Wings is just an unappreciative little wart.
There are people who put up with backbreaking labor because they envision a bright future for their family and then there are people who put up with backbreaking labor because they choose to be mediocre and never apply themselves to their full potential.
Woody was such a good friend. When Wing talked shit about him, I went from sympathetic but annoyed to disgusted. Never lose the Woody in your lives people. Don't push them away.
That’s what they told Andy, and yet...
You do know Wings was the reason why Woody got famous from TH-cam right? Wings is a jerk but he literally made the guy's channel and TH-cam career.
@@cloudstrifefan7 How does that have any relevance to how one acts to another? How does that have any relevance to what Patrick and King was talking about?
@@antonakesson You really don't know what kind of person Woody is too. This video makes him seem like a saint when he really isn't. The crap he says about women, terrible advice on Call of Duty videos, promoting guys like ProSyndicate even if Wings is a terrible person I would be slow to talk about someone who made me literally hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years.
@Chai Mocha You do know he came up with the idea of FPS Russia too back in the day right? He helped Kyle make a lot of money. Even though he did backstab him with the FPS boot camp, Kyle wasn't the right person to help him with the weight loss, scam his subs out of the Weight Loss surgery, lied about money donations and etc. He also helped the same people who shit talk him to this day. What he did was bad but this video completely misses the fact that he literally changed their lives and helped them make loads of money. BTW his name is Richard bro
I feel so bad for Woody, he tried so hard and did everything he could to stand up for his friend while also being good enough not to encourage his negative behavior - classic example of how you simply can't save someone who refuses to help themselves.

The breakdown of the Syndicate VS Wings deathmatch was nothing short of amazing.
Felt like an action movie, a cultural event.
@%101 Real [NOT FAKE !!!] conflict between knowing he's gonna lose and not wanting to look like a coward. I think he was also confident he could turn it around and play victim, as usual. Which he did do. "He's laying on his belly!" Didn't matter to him that the whole world was watching. He could still control his side of the narrative.
It's only been done like 450 times before this!

It was excellent, but those constant Xbox Live notifications must have been infuriating to watch live
Weird to see keemstar trying to talk someone out of suicide instead of helping instigating one

That Keemstar was an instigator here is probably the least surprising thing in the entire video.
The match with Syndicate really shows the value of sportsmanship. The issue wasn’t Jordie’s performance, just how he handled the loss
He didn't look, he didn't listen.
His fears would probably have come to truth,how he's afraid he's gonna get mocked for losing and whatnot but it's just amplified when he got angry.He's like a self-perpetuating troll-feeder.Not fit for the internet.

More like a self fulfilling prophecy IMHO
He talked so much shit and was so cocky, then how he acted afterwards was way more of an issue than just “losing”. Losing with grace is not that hard to do and he chose to be a dick. He hasnt deserved everything, but lets not pretend ALL of his criticism was unfair.

Checking back on that “Dr. Disrespect” fellow mentioned at the start of the video, how’s he doing.
woody seems like an actual good friend that is just trying to help, it's almost hard to watch while wings sabotage his own life
it's almost inspiring in a way, if that was a children's tale I would see both of them as sides of the same personality, the one that keeps telling you to keep pushing it, to move forward and never give up and the other that let's the past drag you down, that let's the opinion of others control you, all I know is that life you be easier if more people were like woody
The sad part is woody was doing all he knew, but he didn't know how to help. I really wish wings finds some people who actually care for him and that he doesnt shut them out.
Death By Vodka You can’t help someone like that unless they choose to listen and accept help, and Wings has shown that he will not listen anymore.
Especially after that shit with his mother. He paid off her home and she proceeds to mortgage it off again, saying "OH THIS TIME YOU'LL GET IT ONCE YOU PAID IT OFF." Then the shit where he just deposited the money into her account so his credit didn't benefit, like WTF YOU DOING MAN?
I feel bad for Woody. Dude definitely wanted what was best for Wings but even a good friend can only take so much.

Woody was literally the best possible friend to him, both being public figures and even when Jodie is doing obviously horrible shit Woody is still trying to bring him back down and help him out as opposed to just cutting him outright
He commited one of the cardinal sins of content creation: oversharing.
I've got a friend who overshares to the point of annoyance (people actually knowing where he works etc), while saying he won't share ANYTHING online and keeps telling himself he's different and better than those oversharers. I kinda hope it will backfire. He never fails at anything he does, and I'm tired of things never backfiring for him, which would for anyone else.

Woody is in many ways the biggest victim in this, Wings has gone so far into denial not even therapy could save him - yet if he just tried to better himself I bet Woody would be there to support.. Wings just refuses to do so.
For real :( he looked like he bawled his eyes out before the video, i don't blame them from cutting him off. As much as I feel bad for this dude his whole mentality is just tunneled to victim mode.
@ThatViolentMelody_93 And thus will likely die early of massive health complications.
@@daddy8884 Yeah, Woodysgamertag..
I want to feel bad for Wings, but he does *NOTHING* to help his situation. *NOTHING* , and whenever someone tries to help him, he either bans them or he does nothing to meet them in the middle and then blames them for not helping him at all.
It really sucks but the best thing you can do in those situations is to just leave them behind. If they genuinely want the help they will make an effort to get it, but when you have someone who doesn’t want to actually get better, they aren’t gonna let you help them and instead they will hurt you. They don’t want to come out of their cave, they just want to bring others in.
The ONLY thing i feel bad for is all the streamers who criticized him, and are now doing the exact same thing. I don't feel bad for Wings personally, but it frustrates me to see streamers doing these things today after. Doxing other streamers, using offensive rhetoric, and getting over offended when faced with criticism.
EDP445 tried to help him and give a helping hand about weight but wings blocked him & said, “fuck EDP” bruh really?
It proves one thing, not everyone is cut out to do TH-cam and fame in general.
@@Boom12 also proves that fame is random and luck almost all the time, if someone whos not meant for it got it.
Extremely, INCREDIBLY ironic for Wings to tell Woody and Syndicate that if you find yourself in a shitty situation that causes you misery, then you deserve said misery for letting yourself get into that situation, and then spending the next ten fucking years complaining about how terrible his situation and it's not his fault and it's unfair that people keep fucking with him.
"can someone give me his address, his number, his location? I'm really thinking about..."
*Wings thinks to himself about the consequences of threatening murder online again*
".....suing them."

@Stellvia Hoenheim Well he is taking Lexapro and another anti-depressant sooo
There are consequences for threatening murder online? Someone should tell that to people on x box live.

Your learning from his mistakes.
It's a fascinating examination of the rise of a cultural phenomena (TH-cam) and documents lesser known stories as a historian of sorts.

The syndicate v jordie call of duty battle was really well done felt like I was watching a war documentary
Yea that was my favorite part, how he narrated and covered all aspects of the battle from the gameplay to wings’ reactions during the call
Yeah, this channel does such a great job covering stuff like this. It can't be easy to parse through all this info in general and weed out what doesn't matter, but it's always enough context that it doesn't drag but you still know exactly what's going on without really leading the viewer. I know so little about CoD, but you just watch that section and you completely understand what's going on, why they're reacting the way they are, and what this match is like without having to even see that much footage.
Very well, done. Yes. I was on the edge of my seat lol

Props to Woody. Even though Wings abuses and demeans him he still tries, or at least tried to be a good friend to a man who had none.
Everyone's saying he's nice but it honestly seems a bit sociopathic the way he is constantly egging on his haters in these group calls
in heaven why does that matter??

Wings goes through all this emotional ruination and still says he’d rather do that then work at a call centre or theatre. That’s insane.
Call centers are for npcs
I've worked retail several times. At this point I'd honestly rather be dead. Not because of disrespect for the workers, my last job several of us were saving for law school, but the emotional and physical toll it takes on me. Being treated like absolute trash by multiple people daily while you're in mounting physical pain is too much.
@@moomyung9231Honestly why i haven't worked at retail, even though i have gotten job offers to go to it. I had friends who worked at retail that looked legit depressed and tired.

ngl playing games all day and reading a funny deaththreat from time to time is still preferable to retail work xD
I really appreciate how you gave a play by play of the Wings vs Syndicate match. It's effort like that which really sets this series apart from others. Fantastic work as usual

Wings really is the imbodiment of "if you fail, fail, fail again"
I think about that quite often when I end up rewatching this video from time to time. His birth was one inherently tragic, without his father there to help his family stay afloat and teach him to balance his emotions with his reason he was left with a mother who for all intents and purposes didn't seem care for him in the slightest. I grew up pretty similar to him, in the suburbs with little money and a terrible mother. But I'm fortunate and, if you believe in God's, blessed, to have been given a present and willing father. As a result, I really do see alot of my own feelings and fears reflected in him, but without all of the support and tough love that I've been given in the past that's helped me build my life today.
He could have been any one of us, or just like us. We could have been him. But we had something he didn't. A real family.
