their reaction was priceless. before he revealed the character, everyone was saying “leo!” in the crowd. then he shows octavian and they all screamt “BRUH!” in unison. that was probably the funniest part lmao
Tbf the movies went out of their way to be bad. It's rare to see a adaptation this bad which triggers a reaction from author this hostile (though justified)
"how does it feel making small children cry with your cliffhangers?" "it warms my heart thank you" this guy is the only redeeming part about being from texas- he was born and raised here
It was the same as the first 2 Harry Potter movies…which made no sense to me because the first 2 HP were really good in terms of adaptations, and these were just awful.
i didn't expect rick to be so fun and festive kind of guy, mocking his own books like that. i live him even more now, i think he could be a really good drinking budy
That insanely feminine scream that went up when uncle Rick said ‘Leo’ just proves to me that all the ladies _do_ love Leo Edit: this is the most dam likes i've ever gotten. MOMMY I'M FAMOUS!
As a Swede... I send my deepest apologies for what my country has done... That looked terrible... I've never seen a book with that cover so they must have changed it. The probably heard the laughter for the German cover and thought it was for them. Once again... I'm so sorry for that... 🤣🤣🤣
I was confused at first, since I read the first three books in German and they looked like the second version. But that first, as a German percy jackson fan and now graphic designer, I am very thankful that was not what I had 😂
Okay, not joking, I'm german and we had the percy jackson books in our school libary with this weird cover (1:46) and I read the summary of the book and was like: Yeah, sounds like somthing I would read - but the cover... Looks like its a book for little children. So I didnt read pjo until 2020, when I realised there really good books and I still regret it.
Now I'm legit relieved that in France we got the book covers from either the US or the UK (the image I saw included both but didn't label which one was which).
I read the Percy Jackson series after I got my diagnosis at like 13 and I had first felt like I was a freak who couldn’t focus and needed medicine and extra time on all the tests but his books made me feel like I could be a rlly cool demigod :)
I love how the crowd was so upset at Octavian and then he said Leo and they were literally going "LEO" Edit: I want Rick to read ALL of my riordanverse books.
1:43 as a german: I have never seen that cover before... I have the second version. :) The newer ones are even cooler though. They are all black with drawn covers and the spines create a picture if you put them next to each other.
“How does it feel making young children cry because of your cliff hangers” “it warms my heart thank you” 😂😂
Well... I feel better knowing that my suffering makes someone else happy
Time stamp?
@@supernova4199 4:12
I laughed my head of on that one.
Love his smile when he says it 🤣
Most authors don’t go out and say “hey the movies are trash” and then there is Rick. He is an entirely different species of authors.
Yeah, I mean look how rick handled the love triangle
That is because his suggestions to make the 2019 remake were ignored and so the movies were trashy
He is
Why we stan him :
why i love him so much lmao
Everyone waiting for Leo…
Rick: *Octavian!!*
Everyone: *angry noises*
their reaction was priceless. before he revealed the character, everyone was saying “leo!” in the crowd. then he shows octavian and they all screamt “BRUH!” in unison. that was probably the funniest part lmao

Can I apply to "All da ladies luv Leo" if I'm nonbinary?
@@theinfamous_odysseus yes you may
Most book authors do not openly critise the movie adaptations of their work to not stir conflict with the producers.
And then there's Rick.
Rick is a different kind of force nobody understands.
well rick isnt MOST book authors, hes the best author
Tbf the movies went out of their way to be bad. It's rare to see a adaptation this bad which triggers a reaction from author this hostile (though justified)
Yeah
@Starry sky Constructed alternatively.
Uncle Rick is now my spirit animal
Same
Mine is the cat but I think is the same, right?
@@cristinazarategonzalez5831 can you have two? Cats are absolutely amazing and Rick.... Needs no explanation
@@theblack.paradeisdead that's why there's no difference between cats and uncle rick
Both are sassy
You can tell where Percy got his humor 😭
And Nico and Leo got their humour 😂

“DO YOU FEEL ANY REMORSE PUTTING YOUR CHARACTERS IN GRAVE DANGER”

As an author as well, no. At least I don't 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When Disney+ PJO airs I want Uncle Rick to join the press tour I don't care, it HAS to happen
Hopefully he does a cameo in the series like Stan Lee in Marvel

There is the original Rick-Roll, and then there is this guy..
Edit: oh wow, this got so many likes :O thx!
Rick-troll
All Rick's are trolls😂
The Rick-troll
Rick even just mentioning Octavion's name
Everyone including me: *anger* NOOOOOOOO!!!
this video made me laugh really hard for the first time in a while
When Rick was reading The Mark of Athena and he described Coach Hedge, I died of laughter at the "DIE!" part.
This is the author of Percy Jackson. I expect nothing less 😌
So real
"how does it feel making small children cry with your cliffhangers?"
"it warms my heart thank you"
this guy is the only redeeming part about being from texas- he was born and raised here
HE WAS???? would've never guessed
I’M FROM TEXAS
😂6😢😢
So true
This guy defined my childhood. Also made it so when I got my adhd diagnosis I never felt like it was a disability.
Same here buddy
Actually, as a Swedish person, that must be a REALLY early cover cus the books that now sell and the ones I have are really pretty
yep, the german cover also looks better now :)
But I would like to get a version of the first cover 😂
@@Simon.Lewis.but.in.queer_34 ahahahahaa
Rick Riordan is such a troll and I absolutely love it. One of the biggest reasons why he’s my favorite author of all time.
Gist of the video: Rick hates children and everyone loves Leo
I died at the "Ö de leïghtning is streiking here"
Awww man 😂😂😂
0:48
The way uncle rick yells 'DIE!'
lol it gets me everytime
"Nobody really reads books...and the ones that do will probably be fine with it" WE ARE HUNTING DOWN THE MOVIE DIRECTOR
It was the same as the first 2 Harry Potter movies…which made no sense to me because the first 2 HP were really good in terms of adaptations, and these were just awful.
i didn't expect rick to be so fun and festive kind of guy, mocking his own books like that.

the amount of children wearing CHB shirts makes me wanna cry 😭
Hes so sassy 😭😭🤣🤣💙💙💙💅
"Percy jackson goes to candyland"
it says he's half boy does that mean he's half girl
Alex liked that
True lol
Rick to this kid: “ooooh, just gave me a new character to torture”
I mean personally dont tell him but some of my heart lockets gender swap magic is kinda based on their experience
Yeah he/she did lmaooo
@@chaoticjoy3401uh oh 💀
1:15 As a Romanian, no. 10 Dollars is far too much. They probably spent around 1. Which is 5 lei.
as another romanian, i confirm this comment
As another romanian... at least the title looks cool
Well at least they didn't used it =)
As another romanian, i have the books with some slightly decent cover. Also watching Rick reading the title was so funny to me-
@@bunser-oformerlyknownasioa233 i know i was so confuse and laugh for like 10 minutes
This man brings me so much joy. I'm so lucky that I wasn't born on Mars so that I was able to read his work.
That insanely feminine scream that went up when uncle Rick said ‘Leo’ just proves to me that all the ladies _do_ love Leo
Edit: this is the most dam likes i've ever gotten. MOMMY I'M FAMOUS!
Which book is Leo from?
@@rz5677He's in the Heroes of Olympus series. It's this sequel to Percy Jackson.
All da ladies luv Leo
@@rz5677 he’s also in Trials of Apollo
All riordanverse girls hate him but literally all real life girls love him. Wha-
4:13 here is the iconic moment you were waiting for...
I love you uncle Rick, god of sarcasm and cliffhangers
If someone asks him “Will Percy & Annabeth have kids?!”
Rick will say- “Wouldn’t you like to know”
Sweden and Germany, why just why?! (Tough Germany's second cover is great!
Yeah the second one for Germany was better. But the first one though- it's so bad that it's actually scary.
As a Swede... I send my deepest apologies for what my country has done... That looked terrible... I've never seen a book with that cover so they must have changed it. The probably heard the laughter for the German cover and thought it was for them.

Don’t worry they fixed it, it’s the pretty covers Now XD
I love how aware he is that nobody likes Octavian 😂
Uncle Rick is literally the most ICONIC living being to set foot on planet earth
Kids who had him as a teacher were sooo lucky!!!
i need rick to record the audiobooks since the first series
Forgot how absolutely unhinged Uncle Rick and the Percy Jackson series actually is
Person: How does it feel making children cry with your cliffhangers?
Uncle Rick: It warms my heart ✨ thank yew ✨
I died laughing when I first saw this and when he put the picture of Octavian up
Uncle Rick is so unhinged and i love it
"And of course, everyone's favourite.."
*everyone waiting for Leo
*"Octavian."*
“He’s half boy, does that mean he’s half girl?”
GOT ME DYINNGGGG
Can we petition Rick to make audiobooks of all his series read by him. It would be great.
Dam, this is funny
lol, watch ur dam language
Dam i love your comment😄
Dam I agree
You are so dam right.
So dam disrespectful
Percy, seeing Uncle Rick’s video presentation : who’s this guy?
Annabeth : this guy? He is our doom
I love how everyone starting fangirling when Leo showed up. I guess Rick know half of the fandom crushes Leo😂❤️🔥
I can see where Percy gets his personality from, lol, Uncle Rick is so amazing
i laughed so hard when he said “ovtavian” and everyone in the crowd simultaneously screamt “BRUHHHHHHHH”
Ah! We all love Uncle Rick.
Okay, not joking, I'm german and we had the percy jackson books in our school libary with this weird cover (1:46) and I read the summary of the book and was like: Yeah, sounds like somthing I would read - but the cover... Looks like its a book for little children.

Interessant danke für die Infos
Jungs❤
Ich habe es auch nicht gelesen, bis ich das Cover in den Vereinigten Staaten gesehen habe.
Really terrifying being shown the characters old official art.
He should see the new romanian covers, they are black and just has the title and author in gold
4:13 is why we love uncle Rick 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Authors make sure that they make 13+ cry depending on their books
The theres *him* making small children cry
Now I'm legit relieved that in France we got the book covers from either the US or the UK (the image I saw included both but didn't label which one was which).
Uncle Rick is really something, huh 😂
love uncle rick
Omg your username I love it
@@demigodmireya9998 awe thanks
I love the author already, want him to be my dad 🥺❤️
It warms my heart , thank you ❤️ had me laughing so hard my head felt light 💀
"Masts are from trees." LOL
I forgot about that part! I'm still laughing 🤣
Seeing the old art gives me so many feelings
I LOVE RICK EVEN THO HE THREW PERCABETH IN TARTARUS BUT Y'KNOW WHAT IT'S FINE
He’s like that one child who you want to get mad at but he’s just so dam funny so you can’t
5:37 and people say Nico had no sense of humor
I've never seen an author do stand up comedy routines about their own life before
Im so excited for a show Rick got to truly be a part of!!
As someone who lives in Korea, it's really hard to get my friends to read the books 😭💀
I’m glad he seems to know how many fangirls leo has
0:14 intersexual persassy LOL
Uncle Rick simply put all of his sass into our favourite characters like Kelp Head n Mcshizzle
I love this man
I'll do you one better-
Rick Riordan being Rick Riordan for 57 years!
I don't think TH-cam allows videos that is over 50 years unfortunately.
and people wonder why Percy is the king of Sass xD
THE SCREAMS AT LEO BEING ON THE SCREEN ☠️☠️
how can you not love this man?
Everyone waiting for Leo to come up and he brings up literal Octavian. Just no
Uncle Rick is literally amazing
The first German cover had me rolling😂
Note to Self: Come back here to rank the Covers
I read the Percy Jackson series after I got my diagnosis at like 13 and I had first felt like I was a freak who couldn’t focus and needed medicine and extra time on all the tests but his books made me feel like I could be a rlly cool demigod :)
Dam I love uncle Rick
Frank’s old official art 💀💀
And octiva-
*angry percy jackson fan noises*
He’ll be in the movie!
*noise intensifies, hears the sound of a thousand knivds*
Rick Riordan casually bringning octavian without leo and the crowd goes :😖😖😖😖😩😩😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬👿👿
I'd like his autograph
Man, Rick should do stand-up on the side, he’s a riot. 😂
Me being 17 and watching this video and laughing along with 11 year olds 😂😂😂
man, Rick's response to the script to the Germans response is so me!🤣😂
actually, German's cover books have that characteristic. Specially children's books
The moment everyone screamed at Leo hfowmflald
Can he be my spirit animal?
Well, this is my sign to go reread all his books.
As a romanian i can tell you that the book covers are pretty good, well exept that one, thankfully that one is not used =)
I never totally understood why people sometimes call him Uncle Rick but now it makes sense😭
I love how the crowd was so upset at Octavian and then he said Leo and they were literally going "LEO"
Edit: I want Rick to read ALL of my riordanverse books.
🤣 loved it!
I swear you don't realize how crazy the books are until you actually see him reading excerpts...
1:43 as a german: I have never seen that cover before...
I have the second version. :)
The newer ones are even cooler though. They are all black with drawn covers and the spines create a picture if you put them next to each other.
This is officially going to my personal favorite videos ever playlist
Ok the korean cover actually looks really cool though
I almost cried with laughter looking at this I love recruiting sense of humor I love this book's I want to give that man a hug and a high five
