ok regarding the mustache I am sorry that you guys are so upset by this. I think the decision to wear a purple shirt combined with the missing mustache was too much. I will try to make myself more presentable tomorrow
“I don’t want to uphold myself as a prophet or something, but I feel that I have a tendency to be good at being an early hater. Knowing when to not buy into the hype.” Aged like wine
always got a bad vibe from Mikey. I stopped keeping with them around 2022. Just found out today about this channel and his vids. Also found out IC is pretty much dead now and honestly, that news made my day better.
Illegal civ is one of the saddest examples of skate culture exploitation I've ever seen. That being said, when you put that hat on and made a 20 minute video hating on clothing was the finest line to walk. And you did it. Well played
You nailed it on the early hater bit. A year later and it really does look like the public are only now seeing that this entire “””enterprise””” was really a house of cards. You un-ironically have the opposite of the hipsters ability to like shitty things before they go mainstream lmao
fun fact Mikey Alfred doesn't even do the art or graphics for Illegal Civ. All of these are someone else's drawings that's why they looked even shittier when he showed his versions
I don't know anything about Illegal Civ, but it took me a week to get through the Mikey Alfred Nine club episode. Dude came off as such a pretentious douche I found him unbearable
Frog is definitely about fun. I used to not like them because of the graphics but then realized it's just one big joke. Frog is now one of my favorite companies
Hahahaha amazing. I actually worked on this project and there was so much stuff behind the scenes that made this thing turn out the way it did…and you nailed it. It made no sense. All the elements from random entities put together was just so confusing for everyone
There is a lesson that they don't teach you growing up that I've found invaluable: Just because you're popular and can make money doesn't mean you're inherently creative or talented. A hustle isn't art, it's a scam like a carnival show. Look for the people in skateboarding who can't stop creating art regardless of the spotlight being on them. It's there you'll find true interesting humans.
I've always thought Mikey Alfred was full of shit and just got lucky off his ideas from already living around rich people because of his parents connections. Thank you for making me feel like I'm not just tripping.
at the beginning that point you made about the whole colorful Tyler the creator aesthetic was so on point, i never understood why in LA it’s so big not just with skater either, I wonder what that style is even called but holy shit it’s annoying
bro i dont even think he gives a flying fuck about skateboarding, i cant even imagine him ever talking about any tricks that hes stoked on in skateboarding or even any other videos that arent illegal civ
God i wish i could hear the audio from the video better. Regardless, love your takes on the skateboard community. You are always hitting the nail on the head man. Keep making your content your way, we are here for it.
Dude I’ve been on you tube since it’s started I’ve never been compelled to write a review ever, until today. Great work keep on doing what your doing, I’m dying laughing, this great!
not even into skateboarding. skated as a kid for like 6 years but haven't been into the culture for well over a decade. still my favorite youtuber and channel.
Honestly bro, can’t argue not one bit, but I like that illegal civ is like a pretty boy of skating, I like watching the skate videos and hear some rnb or oldies and some rap rather than like rock or hard rap. I think that’s just what skating is turning into but good video dawg
Nigel Sylvester is a big deal in mainstream BMX sponsored by Ebay watches, Air Jordan other nonsense doesn’t even seem that good mostly posts running and flatground
the problem is Illegal Civ worked when it was an amateur indie brand where it just felt like a bunch of random kids in LA skating and doing dumb shit with minor celebrity cameos. now they are trying to be this big ass skate brand now and it just comes off as really cringe. especially when Mikey is so pretentious and acts like he is the creative force behind Illegal Civ when in reality its only big because of Odd Future and the skaters themselves
never forget that Civ proudly represents North Hollywood, CA like its a global city or something. If you're proud of North Hollywood start out by picking up some of the trash on the streets of it, of which there is a literal enormous, ENORMOUS amount of.
+1 on getting weird vibes from Mikey Alfred. Dunno what it is, something about him always seemed off to me beyond just being insufferable. +10 on the content overall ty for making it
Also kind of crazy that there’s zero skaters in this commercial. You got this opportunity because of the folks skating for you. And the Doritos commercial is just you sitting around lol.

its ok but do better man.
Better have a mustache next video
@@fuckingfork6353 i’ll see what i can do
Thank you
The apex of this channel was when you had a mustache, poor show shaving that mustache bro you peaked

The triangle symbolizes the apex of the dorito.
LMAOOOOOO
😂😂
did you notice theres like a striking similarity beetween the triangular shape of the chip and the triangular shape of the dinosaur
Deep
This is my new favorite opinionated skater channel
Are there more

“Ishod gets away with it Bc he’s fucking god “ LMFAOOO love it
lmao same i had to replay it like 3 times
Dude him talking about that art is actually unbelievable
The irony of it all is hilarious
Like Luke Skywalker said: "Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong"
Really though. A dorito is a triangle. Ok must be a new fashion trend to use junk food and terrible cartoony drawings.
Thank you for speaking for all skateboarders Mikey Alfred, Doritos truly is connected to skateboarding in an AuThEnTiC wAy
Illegal civ is one of the saddest examples of skate culture exploitation I've ever seen. That being said, when you put that hat on and made a 20 minute video hating on clothing was the finest line to walk. And you did it. Well played
Idk theres a wide margin between a dope weed gas station baseball cap and fucking IC merch
this aged well
Michael Alfred is a 65 year old hanging out with kids
The hat is sick..civ blows
the one dislike is from mikey alfred
You nailed it on the early hater bit. A year later and it really does look like the public are only now seeing that this entire “””enterprise””” was really a house of cards. You un-ironically have the opposite of the hipsters ability to like shitty things before they go mainstream lmao

I don't know anything about Illegal Civ, but it took me a week to get through the Mikey Alfred Nine club episode. Dude came off as such a pretentious douche I found him unbearable
Yea remember him talking about selling shit to people in high school? The way he talked about his peers was borderline sociopathic no BS
fuck 9club
That was the worst Nine Club episode i have seen.
@@matthewjamal would you mind summarizing?
@@michaelcornwell7404 he's a slimeass
Frog is definitely about fun. I used to not like them because of the graphics but then realized it's just one big joke. Frog is now one of my favorite companies
Worble seems like they are on the same page as frog too
Their vids are sick
I didn't like em at first but Frog has grown on me will buy one of their boards at some point
Illegal civ tries/wants to be like Frog, tho the mindset is whats destroys this, I Like Illegal civs designs but alfred is just...Fuck
Hell yes frog is one of a kind
Never forget that guy said a deck should cost $100
lmao I love when he notices the view count and like/dislikes he immediately disliked it without skipping a beat or saying a word about it.
a hater in his natural habitat, a beautiful sight
"Baby goo goo gah gah aesthetic" is so fucking funny.
I’m so glad someone else also actually thinks illegal civ is just a really lazy brand
@Abe Lincon ok Abe Lincoln
mikey alfred is like if urkel had no redeeming qualities
Hahahaha amazing. I actually worked on this project and there was so much stuff behind the scenes that made this thing turn out the way it did…and you nailed it. It made no sense. All the elements from random entities put together was just so confusing for everyone

@@andrewgrau6093 Was your experience AuTHeeNtTIC
There's something in the Los Angeles water turning people into simpletons. East Coast laughing REAL HARD right now
Only the transplants who vacationed out here when they were teens
Never tried East Coast water but I personally like Los Angeles water over Mexico water
Alex Jones warned us about this
as a cali boi ur right, hotel blue and sum of those east coast mfs str8 cold, i fw yall vibe
east coast just got natural steez and they’re not as quick to be trendy it seems
“If you were to go skateboard outside the Doritos corporate office they’d kick your ass out immediately” is so hilariously accurate

This is one of the best things i’ve read today. Genuinely poetic.
Never thought I'd watch skateboard content that isn't video parts and full-lengths. This shit is gold
the skateboarding and doritos having a deep connection bit is really giving out dave navarro taco bell live mas ink master vibes
Im a skater from the 80s/early 90s and i appreciate your nuanced views on modern day skateboarding
I've always thought Mikey Alfred was full of shit and just got lucky off his ideas from already living around rich people because of his parents connections. Thank you for making me feel like I'm not just tripping.
Video aged like a fine wine😂
You’re one of the very very few small creators that I enjoy watching... like alot
“I’m a seasoned hater of illegal civ” I fucking love the content already. You’re doing gods work
want this channel to blow up but also stay small at the same time 😭😭
Nigel Sylvester is the bmx equivalent of Mikey Alfred for anyone wondering
This the type of shit that ends up in a goodwill after a month of buying it
The comedic timing on the dismissive Dislike at 6:11 was too perfect
'The Mascot is me, and the Dorito is selling out' Genius.
Bro is treating Doritos like it’s a Gucci collab 😂
hands down best skate content on youtube or the gram. don't stop. its also not hating if its just facts.
"the design philosophy is always essentialism" meanwhile creates literally the most postmodern designs possible.
The way the yellow and red are interacting is really strong😂😂😂😂
*collabs with Doritos once*
"There's just a lot to chew on"
Binge watched all your vids over the past 24 hours - new favorite channel fr. Keep it up boss
Dude... seriously one of the most entertaining videos that I have watched in a long time.
Looking very sharp with the clean shave king
mikey alfred reminds me of the leader in yo gabba gabba
LMAOOOO
This channel is hilarious. Your takes are so good in a quirky and thoughtful way. You’re a good speaker.
I've never been more grateful for not growing up in L.A.
I thank god everyday that I wasn’t born/raised in L.A.
at the beginning that point you made about the whole colorful Tyler the creator aesthetic was so on point, i never understood why in LA it’s so big not just with skater either, I wonder what that style is even called but holy shit it’s annoying
When do we think the last time Mikey Alfred did a kickflip....hmmmmmm
For reallllll
bro i dont even think he gives a flying fuck about skateboarding, i cant even imagine him ever talking about any tricks that hes stoked on in skateboarding or even any other videos that arent illegal civ
He posted one months ago. Very rocket. Toe drag. No style whatsoever
he KNOWS he cant skate well
i think he said it himself in an intervw, that he was just always the filmer homie with no tricks. but he filmed everyday so guess he never practiced
It made my day seeing Nigel Sylvester 😂😂😂😂 biggest tool in bmx, the cherry on top
This would be physically difficult to watch without Joa’s comments. Good job!
He should’ve done a lays collab and made a skate truck flavored chip
I haven't smiled and laughed to myself in a minute. Thanks for this. Great content.
We need a full Illegal Civ breakdown vid.
God i wish i could hear the audio from the video better. Regardless, love your takes on the skateboard community. You are always hitting the nail on the head man. Keep making your content your way, we are here for it.
The part of "Look at the way he sits" was so damn funny haha.
Bwahahaha, too much gold here. I've tried to resist, but I subbed. This is good for skateboarding, snowboarding needs something like this channel
"I don't want to hear anyone say it's whack"
"It's whack"
Enough said
laughed so hard at that
Mikey called Logan "spoiled rich white kid" meanwhile he dresses like he wants to be best friends with every dude over 65 at his local country club
i can tell when a person is evil usually within the first 5 secs of looking at them
I dont think this dinosaur is needed to be seen by anybody😂😂😂😂😂
What did you think bout Godspeed tho
Yo but just LOOK AT HIS MESS OF A DESKTOP that will tell you everything you know about his mind.
Illegal Civ took what DeliStatus used to do and made it in a really wack way imo
What he says about early hating aged perfectly
coming back to this months later after the downfall of mikey and illegal civ
Dude I’ve been on you tube since it’s started I’ve never been compelled to write a review ever, until today. Great work keep on doing what your doing, I’m dying laughing, this great!
not even into skateboarding. skated as a kid for like 6 years but haven't been into the culture for well over a decade. still my favorite youtuber and channel.
I like your videos man been binge watching them. It shows you research a lot before making and editing so thank you for that, the effort shows!
Honestly bro, can’t argue not one bit, but I like that illegal civ is like a pretty boy of skating, I like watching the skate videos and hear some rnb or oldies and some rap rather than like rock or hard rap. I think that’s just what skating is turning into but good video dawg
Also hate how Mikey talks, still love IC tho
Finally someone spittin fax
The idubbz of skateboarding, you earned yourself a new subscriber
Mikey dresses like he wants to be a middle aged white man who went to art school so bad
its amazing that these 'designs' took more than one person to create. We've reached peak apex.
16:19 is the wildest part of this whole video, we gotta find the genius who paid 60$ for that shirt
“it’s time to put some dip on my chip” 😂😂😂
1:28 this aged incredible well
lol yup!!
I used too really like Ill Civ because I am a big Tyler the Creator fan, but IC3 and most stuff after was whack, and Mikey Alfred is insufferable
Nigel Sylvester is a big deal in mainstream BMX sponsored by Ebay watches, Air Jordan other nonsense doesn’t even seem that good mostly posts running and flatground
@@noahdoerksen1908 I know right, how did he go from ic2 to this
the problem is Illegal Civ worked when it was an amateur indie brand where it just felt like a bunch of random kids in LA skating and doing dumb shit with minor celebrity cameos. now they are trying to be this big ass skate brand now and it just comes off as really cringe. especially when Mikey is so pretentious and acts like he is the creative force behind Illegal Civ when in reality its only big because of Odd Future and the skaters themselves
@@goingupandupandup thank you Ethan, you summed it up perfectly!
Watching this on Oct 28 2022 and he was definitely right about illegal civ.
8:00 💀🔺😂
This channel is hidden gold
His drawing remind me of that show on adult swim called 12oz mouse.
never forget that Civ proudly represents North Hollywood, CA like its a global city or something. If you're proud of North Hollywood start out by picking up some of the trash on the streets of it, of which there is a literal enormous, ENORMOUS amount of.
+1 on getting weird vibes from Mikey Alfred. Dunno what it is, something about him always seemed off to me beyond just being insufferable.
+10 on the content overall ty for making it
Also kind of crazy that there’s zero skaters in this commercial. You got this opportunity because of the folks skating for you. And the Doritos commercial is just you sitting around lol.
you called it ;)
45 seconds in and I'm subscribing. Keep up the good work.
that comparison to frog was golden 21:17
Love frog, never take yourself too seriously 😁
And you’ve just earned day follow. Everything you said is spot on. Mikey is such a cornball.
just discovered your channel by looking up the mess with nakel and lotties, i f with this channel heavy
Bro called it 100%
as an old school hater this channel has a bright future
"look at this.....LOOK AT THIS"
bruh i bought a illegal civ deck on march 12 and its still not here
I’m sorry bro, that sucks
the prophecy is true
The Doritos/IC video dropped and Soy Panday abruptly awoke from a nap on the other side of the world.
I hope to see more design theory from this up-and-coming skater visionary
Good breakdown of the difference between ic and frog, hate when it gets twisted.
This shit had me dying🤣real talk tho, he sits like he's a villain to skateboarding, and not in a good/cool way.
Could you raise the volume of the video your reacting to? Please.
