The Disney film psyop may be the greatest accidental punchline in Little Joel history. Hearing a 3 minute rant into "I was wrong about child movie" is a great transition.
I personally don’t like the satanists because they always try to use their physically large brains to prove my arguments wrong whenever I try to accost Little Joel’s mother with my anti-vaccine beliefs. The audacity.
@@ahqeeefyeah, sure, a lot of them. but as a political movement it’s more about protecting the first amendment and establishing a clear separation between church and state. their religion exists more as a form of activism than a direct response to christians. most christians, i’m sure, see the sense in it and are not actually offended. satan is just a powerful piece of rhetoric, a powerful counterpoint to the intrusion of religious doctrine on public grounds. it’s not about “pwning the christians.” americans are so used to christianity, we don’t really question it when we see it. but if you see a big baphomet statue, you do question it. and that leads to asking questions about the separation of church and state in general. often, their goal is to be removed in order to set a precedent for other religious icons. in short, they are just choosing the most powerful and culturally relevant counterpointed symbol that they can find. it’s not about hurting christians, or scaring them, it’s about preventing their political aims. which i do think is actually important.
@@breadtunes thats true! im glad theyre fighting against the church and they donate a lot. it is just kinda cringe when they get really into the label of being satanists.
The masculinity video absolutely slaps. Holy shit. Do you know how much hate people get for critiquing positive masculinity narratives? You saying, "Actually masculinity is a series of learned behaviors and nothing more" is 100X more radical than almost any progressive discourse on the subject.
"progressive discourse" is typically just people thinking they're better for saying what they think is progressive instead of actually looking into the problems of patriarchy and it's effects
I know that to a lot of enbies and trans men, “masculinity” both the word and concept has a lot of value. But ultimately what that version of “masculinity means” is personalized! So if you are GNC and you do value the term “masculinity”, I’d ask what traits or behaviors or aesthetics you value in your masculinity, and I’d ask how do those values connect to the word “masculinity”. ♥️
Idk, I saw a video about Steven Universe that was about how the titular character sets a positive role model for masculinity despite being neither buff or a woods boy, and I thought it was pretty good.

On the 'everyone deserves a friend who doesn't know what their job is thing', and knowing i'm doing exactly the kind of explaining you talked about but I can't stop myself, I think the key reason why it doesn't connect with you is because you have a creative job. I've jumped around a lot between different shitty minimum-wage blue-collar jobs and while people might have asked what I do when I first meet them, it'll be different in six months and the less they ask about my work as a janitor or cashier or factory worker or whatever the better for me; it's not an activity I have anything to say about. And having had that kind of work-life I also struggle with being interested in other people's jobs unless they bring it up, because for me "work" is purely a shitty, mindless necessity and I unfortunately tend to project that onto other people unless they actively show me otherwise. So I both like having such friends as mentioned in the tweet, and I frequently *am* that friend (for better or for worse). I don't even know if my sibling has a job right now or what it is if so, and I usually talk to them a few times a week. About their kid, about shared hobbies, about movies or books, about food, whatever interests us at the time. But unless they bring up work that's not gonna be relevant to me; I know they're making do economically and that's what matters in terms of labor.
my job just has a dry, complicated explanation because "my company is a third party hired by insurance companies to perform forensic review of high dollar medical bills" is jargon-adjacent and people don't 100% know what it means. i use exclusively programs nobody has heard of and do boring spreadsheets about it. that's why people don't know what i do exactly.
I just kept waiting for him to say something disagreeable, or at least a reason to delete the video, and then he was just like “I don’t care enough to explain,” and I was just like yeah that’s fair have a good day lmfao

15:32 I used to do work making crystal optics (lenses, windows, and prisms) for use in analytical devices and NOBODY UNDERSTOOD WHAT THAT MEANT. I eventually just started saying “I make crystals for lasers and shit”, because that was the closest thing I could think of that wouldn’t completely short circuit peoples’ brains.
Yeah, one of my theories on the "friend who doesn't know what you do" was that a lot of the people it resonated with were people whose jobs were really obvious and useful (like a plumber) and they liked having a friend who obviously doesn't value them for their ability to fix a toilet, but there are probably more people who like the tweet because their job is s pointless even THEY barely know what they do, and it's a cope to act like that's good actually. Or people like yourself who have really interesting jobs they're passionate about (I'm just assuming you're passionate about it because it sounds cool forgive me if it's actually rly dull) but no-one can be bothered to try and understand it. It's sad, really.... I'd love to hear about analytical grade crystal optics at a dinner party or something.
I remember really enjoying 2 of these vids before they were deleted. The Joe Rogan/ Ilhan Omar video was great & the ending with the maniac laughter was delightful. And the Satanist vid: just the pure unadulterated sass! I fkn love the sass!
I think your style of "cutting thru the bullshit and just saying 100% correct shit for 3 minutes in such a dry way that it makes it seem like everyone else is being really weird and silly for dancing around it" is extremely on display in the masculinity one and I liked it
the satanist video is so uncanny because this is the first big joel video where I feel like you have a very over the top sense of humor, usually it's like a little dry or there's something there but it's like a tidbit, the satanist video legitimately had me in tears for a good 3 minutes as it descended into a literal challenge satanists to curse you. like you just transformed into a different dude over a very random and obscure take
I simply can't believe that Joel drops such a banger of a line as “I don't got anything wrong with buff boys, I don't got anything wrong with woods boys” and then decided the video was so boring he had to delete it. That line alone gets me up in the morning.
this is the ultimate work of authenticity. this is why i feel joel speaks for our generation. this is what we're talking about. self reflecion. to open up and show the negatives, the way that we participated in things we are against, our contradictions and impulsivities. good work
I can't imagine anyone more insane than a person who is told gas stoves can cause asthma and immediatly goes "wtf I love gas stoves now". Like really the contrast between that article and the tweets right after gave me whiplash.
I liked the gas stove one. It might have been because I was busy at the time but I didn't hear any good analysis or takes on that whole thing, and I thought this was a good one. I also thought the point was fine? The first things to pop up to test the sincerity of "are you looking out for the children" was gas stoves and school shootings, and they just couldn't help themselves.
It is said that once an individual is buff, goes into the woods, and then eats hot chip and lies, they will channel such perfectly balanced androgynous energy that the whole gender system will implode forever
This closure to your previous thoughts is so fascinating. I often delete my artwork from my blog when I take another look at it and cringe. I never really go back to analyze why I made them and posted them then deleted them, then shared that with my followers. Inspiring! Thank you for caring to share your thoughts!!
I've never identified as a Satanist, but having grown up as an Evangelical Fundamentalist, I get why they identify that way. When you're gay and in the church I attended, you're often told that it's Satan who is trying to convince you that you can be happy as an openly gay person. When you're a woman, you're told that seeking power in the church is Satan's influence. When you're disabled, telling non-disabled people not to pray over you is seen as being sinful for a variety of reasons. Heck, I was even criticized for causing men to lust because my disability made it difficult for my top on the right side to not slip down and reveal my bra strap. When you look at the way the church treats people in marginalized groups and see that all Satan wants is for you to be who you are, it can be easy to look at Satan as the unsung hero in the Biblical story. It's easy to identify with him because he demanded to usurp power over him that he saw as unjust, and he rallied others around him for that purpose. He's the ideal. A character who did what he thought was right, even knowing that he was fighting an all-powerful being. That's a powerful symbol when you leave the faith, and it can be cathartic to just admit, "Yes, I am the evil that you despise so much, that I was taught to fear so that these cis white heterosexual non-disabled men could monopolize power, and I revel in being that evil."
I cant personally relate to that, but i cant imagine the catharsis is worth making your opinion/perspective so absolutely ridiculously easy to misconstrue or lie about, that taking up the name of Christianitys greatest boogieman delivers satisfaction enough to justify it. I also cant imagine the idea appealing to anyone who hasnt gone through that sort of thing either, as while i can be sympathetic to the idea, continued use of the term just feels petty, like defining yourself in opposition to Christianity instead of actually being free from it.
@leaffinite3828 Well, I would argue that I will never be free of Christianity within my lifetime. I come from a family that's very fundamentalist Christian, and I live in an area where fundamentalist Christians commonly make laws to suppress my rights. Like it or not, I'm in a position where I will be engaging with it for the rest of my life. As I said, I'm not a Satanist, but I think that there's power in the statement. To an Evangelical Fundamentalist, no matter what I do, I will always be evil and Satanic. My position will always be misconstrued and lied about on the reg. Labeling yourself as a Satanist is empowering because you're reclaiming the use of a figure that was used to scare you into compliance your whole life. It's kind of like how many gay people have reclaimed the term "queer." When they did that, they took away the power that their oppressors had to use it against them.
@@BSR-zy2so it just doesnt matter because to me because outside of that emotional aspect it has no benefit. I can understand logically if people prefer that but ill never empathize with it or partake in it. You cant reclaim satanism like you can words like queer because its part of a wider belief system as opposed to just being a slur, its like trying to redefine what "earth" means. I wont argue about this further because i recognize the issue is im trying to come up with a logical reason to use the term satanist outside of pettiness or intentionally pissing off christians, and there isnt one.
@leaffinite3828 Well, if you're looking for a logical reason to use the term, it's been used successfully to advocate for church/state separation. Satanists often ask for inclusion in public spaces, like schools or government facilities, where Christianity has privilege in a particular area. When Satanists demand equal access, Christians' distaste for a religion based around Satan will often reveal gatekeeping tactics that need to be closed. Forcing the courts to confront Christian supremacy usually expands rights for religious minorities. Note: I would also argue that what Satanists are doing is no less valid than what Jewish feminists did with the Lilith figure. Lilith was part of a wider belief system, but her image was reclaimed from being a patriarchal reminder to women of their husband's supremacy. Now, Lilith is often a figure that represents the autonomy of women, even against insurmountable patriarchy. Even if the reasons behind the reclamation were only "emotional," this was incredibly empowering to many women and helped them overcome oppression that they had faced based on the Lilith story. I admire and support that, just as I admire and support Satanists.
The other thing that makes it hard to believe satanists really just want to be freethinking atheists is how much of a role "magick" seems to play in satanism
As a tattoo artist, and we always pretend to be satanists, I am extremely offended. I was going ballistic the whole time laughing cause what you say is so true. I’m still keeping my satan statue tho
@@livelyy. it's probably just fun. like you've gotta be at least a little contrarian to make a living off of tattoo artistry in a country predominantly populated by people who believe in religious scripture that demonizes tattoos. and i think satanists are, if anything, contrarian. they're all bout opposing the christian normative status quo, regardless of whether they're just Atheists who like Reason and Logic or if they're just genuine fans of the big red guy downstairs. so if you're already subverting one common christian idea (tattoos are sin because no marking the flesh), might as well be a little silly about it and have a statue of satan right. but i don't know, i'm not the OP or a tattoo artist, so i might be stupid wrong. who knows. that's what i've got thoguh
Little Joel’s Strange World take is kinda similar to what I brought up to my family after we watched it. Like the problem in the movie is the energy itself, not the way it’s used unsustainably. It would be like us recognizing that our use of fossil fuels is hurting the planet and deciding the solution is to nuke all the oil and coal instead of readdressing the way we use it. Like in the movie, the existence of the plant itself is what’s killing the planet, but in the real world, the way giant corporations use fossil fuels and lobby to keep us dependent on fossil fuels is what’s killing the planet. Oil simply being on earth isn’t the problem, it’s how we use it
Yeah, it's a very sloppy metaphor. It does seem like cultivating the parasite plant does contribute to it growing more and endangering the turtle, but it's not examined in enough detail to explain that somehow it wasn't a crisis when there were just a few of the plants in their native habitat. Having every parasite plant connected is also awkward because the 'everything is connected' trope is usually meant as a good thing.
@@oasntet yeah, it ends up being convoluted and confusing. The analysis it provides is also at best interpersonal rather than systemic. Like there’s the fact that the plant is a natural thing, yet makes the planet sick, which contradicts the metaphor, but there’s also the fact that the solution is something a few people can solve with one decision and the big conflict perpetuating it is just that some people don’t want to let go of the past. But real life is so much broader and harder to tackle than that. Our current economic system is dependent on fossil fuels, and it’s not a simple matter of what people want but the systems of power that keep us dependent of fossil fuels and can only be beaten through broad solidarity and mass action against those systems
As an autistic person who relies on predetermined questions to talk to people, some variation of "what do you do for work" leads to decent conversation for 97% of people. No other question works as well. Please don't be one of those people who gets upset at my attempts to appear normal lol
It's one I'm not that much of a fan, because my autism is the reason I don't work. But I get the idea. I get creative taking about what I studied or what I'm doing of my life. It helps knowing who's worth my time, at least.
I like to ask what people do in their free time, commenting on that and asking them to expand on it. Usually they get excited talking about something they like. Not everyone tho
Asking what people do for a living is great! My job involves having to talk to people and get them to open up (I work in health and wellness so getting people comfortable is important). I've found people's favorite topics are: pets, hobbies/interests (I know so much about anime despite not watching any), and their dreams/aspirations. People can talk forever about that stuff if you casually ask "you have any pets?"
it’s not a bad thing to point out that appealing to the mean is still excluding the outliers. upholding “normal” in that way is what enforces-justifies, whether correctly or just indulgently-the structure. it’s not a bad thing for people to have reactions that ARE a distaste for or rejection of The Enforced Standard. yes, use what tools best help you socially, but in appealing to the mean, it’s not really fair to demand the regard of the outliers as well.
Honestly the video on the satanists resonated with me so much because I have met quite a bit of them online and even IRL and every single one would say "I am a satanist" and in parenthesis (I don't worship satan) like its something they constantly have to tell people. Like no shit you have to clarify that because you called yourself a fucking Satanist??? It always makes me blank stare and wonder what is happening.
Half of thier thing is just being like "Lol this will piss off Christians" when in reality all it does is make themselves look bad? Like even if you aren't a Christian you still probably wouldn't want to associate with someone like that. It would be like creating a group called the "WeLoveHitlerians" and then having to specifiy that you don't actually love Hitler.
I think it's interesting that a lot of these videos are things you didn't like having responses and comments about, but by packaging all of them together, you change their context so that the conversation is different. People are talking about the video containing a bunch of clips instead of just talking about the clips. I'm sure some of them still happen, but it's interesting.
Huh. I absolutely missed the new energy source in Strange World, too. You'd think they'd have shown just a bit more of it if it's that easy to miss... It's not even solar! It's a wind turbine demonstrated in the last couple minutes, but since the whole movie has a green airship with propellers, it's super easy to miss that the new airship is a simple green balloon with a turbine generator, not propellers for propulsion. And it's on-screen for about five seconds.

@So Mad He knows exactly who the Satanic Temple and Church of Satan are. He doesn't care. Satanism is an Abrahamic trope that is over 2,000 years old. You can't just say "no, that's not 'real' Satanism" thousands of years later, as if one person can decide that definition no longer applies. There is the traditional meaning of "Satanist" defined as someone who worships Satan in willful defiance of God, and there is the newer meaning defined as an antitheist who applies Satanic symbolism to their opposition to theistic religion in general but usually Christianity in particular. Those are clearly different people, and if you ask which one is the "real" Satanist, most people won't give you the answer you want.
@So Mad I mean, he's not wrong in saying that it'd be accurate to call people who worship Satan Satanists. If atheistic Satanists don't want to be associated with theistic Satanists maybe they should've chosen a different name.
@@onewingedangel9189 they do. Satan is a representation of the rejection of the Christian God. He was cast out for challenging God's ultimate power, he gave humans the free will to reject God, he's the one telling you being gay is alright, he's the one telling you women aren't subservient. You don't have to literally believe in a theistic diety to be a religion (ask Buddhists). When people like you or Joel refuse to actually learn about these religions, it just shows ignorance and an unwillingness to understand other perspectives.
I'd never thought about conspiracists goalpost shifting, just 'cuz you think it's boring doesn't mean we all have tread that ground my Joel of varying size.

I skipped past the second video to see what you had to say about it because I thought it was kinda boring and then died laughing when you said "Yeah so I deleted this one cause it was boring"
Dear God (no religion intended), you said exactly what I've been thinking about "Satanists" for a long time, and you even reacted *exactly* how I did when someone explained it to me.
I'll be honest. Every time he came back and said that he deleted a video because it's boring, I had totally zoned out. So, yeah. Follow your heart and delete the boring ones. You got a good sense of what's actually boring according to me
The mrna one had a great point but it did struggle across the finish line in the middle a wee bit. I think him saying it had already been said I really empathize with
I keep trying to get myself into making youtube videos. I actually enjoy most of the process, it's just the starting energy for most things in life is very high (thanks, adhd!) seeing these "boring" videos was educational for me, to see how you filter your material and make some decisions. This helps take out some of the apprehension to just do it.. Thanks for sharing!
There were non-MRNA vaccines available from the start in some countries. Here in the UK the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine was used as part of the first vaccine rollout in 2020/21, and that isn't an MRNA vaccine. Personally I had the Pfizer MRNA vaccine, but I know others who had the AstraZeneca vaccine. (Ironically, the AstraZeneca vaccine turned out to have a rare side effect of causing blood clotting, whereas there were no such problems with the MRNA vaccine.)
i love how you frame this entire video as if it’s gonna put me to sleep while i would literally listen to you describe the hue of your shit for 12 hours a day
I agreed with the girl in the first video on the idea that modern holidays are an obligation for many people and people like myself being autistic suffer the consequences of the social stigma of opting out of holidays... but then that was not the argument she was making
I missed most of these but I remember seeing the satanism one and it was an immediate favourite lol. Kinda sad it was deleted but I'm glad it is preserved here (for now)
i might be able to explain- i think the vibe around that tweet stems from people (mostly younger generations) preferring to not be defined by their jobs. when i finished college in 2008 and everything was fucked, my peers and i all agreed that there was nothing more rude or alienating than being asked, "so, what do you do?" upon introduction. this question almost always came from folks insulated from the crash who seemed unaware that they were interrogating you about how you were literally staying alive. it induced stress just thinking about how to answer without getting existential, so the conversation would go like this: "do you mean, "what do i do?" bc i do lots of stuff, or do you mean "what do i do for money?"?" "tee-hee, i mean "what do you do for money?"" "oh. i work menial job for pay that does not cover the bills with no end in sight. i don't really want to think about it right now." and then change the subject without asking what they do. that said, it can be a total privilege to be able to live undefined by your job. your friends can only not know what you do for a living if things are so good for you that you have nothing to complain about. still, i NEVER ask what people do/did for a living, and if they don't bring it up, i will never know. i have not had a job since covid started, so when i was catching up with an old friend the other day who asked what i have been up to, and i started explaining, they interrupted to clarify, "no like, for work"... sigh. the last thing i want to talk about about is goddamn work (unless you are unionizing or quitting). i guess that makes me the person that people should be friends with 🤷♀
i dont know why it matters. Lots of people work unfufilling jobs they hate or are ashamed of. I have a friend that ive had for a decade that i genuinely, gun to my head, have no idea what she does. I know its in finance but it just never comes up bc she doesnt talk about it. Im friends with her because shes my friend.
@@louisaruth That helps a lot. I was also completely confused. The idea that people feel ashamed of being unemployed or having a low-paying job or getting money from their parents or whatever does put it into context. I know from experienced that getting asked what you do for a living all the time when you are unemployed is extremely irritating, even if most people don't really judge you for it. I still can't really get behind the tweet, because I still don't think it's that crucial to have friends you never open up to, but it does make way more sense now.

americans are so used to christianity, we don’t really question it when we see it. but if you see a big baphomet statue, you do question it. and that leads to asking questions about the separation of church and state in general. often, their goal is to be removed in order to set a precedent for other religious icons.

Idk, I saw a video about Steven Universe that was about how the titular character sets a positive role model for masculinity despite being neither buff or a woods boy, and I thought it was pretty good.
Little Joel’s little skeletons have finally come out of the closet
Good for them
the closet is also little

The little skeletons are gay? Good for them!

personally i found the vivid descriptions of buff boys going into the woods very compelling and funny.

Thank for your work

Thanks!
aha, i think "My Gripe with the Satanists" (12:02) was the first later-deleted video i saw before it was deleted and was introduced to the phenomenon of deleted little joel videos 😄
I do truly love when little joel posts videos with thumbnails where his expression is wide eyed, shocked, evocative of a haunted tree
Little Joel's empathy with the silly Halloween tik tok is beyond anything I am capable of kudos lol
I mean i dont agree with the dark energy stuff but i found it relatable. She probably wasn't in the mood to put out the obligatory Halloween content for her followers and needed an excuse lol
@@DuckReconMajor I can't relate to any part of your sentence this is why we're lucky to have little guys like Little Joel
@@DuckReconMajor they brought the dark hounds to my door for not posting the obligatory halloween content. tore my terrible ass to shreds, barely made it out alive. next year, though. next year i will be ready

On the 'everyone deserves a friend who doesn't know what their job is thing', and knowing i'm doing exactly the kind of explaining you talked about but I can't stop myself, I think the key reason why it doesn't connect with you is because you have a creative job. I've jumped around a lot between different shitty minimum-wage blue-collar jobs and while people might have asked what I do when I first meet them, it'll be different in six months and the less they ask about my work as a janitor or cashier or factory worker or whatever the better for me; it's not an activity I have anything to say about. And having had that kind of work-life I also struggle with being interested in other people's jobs unless they bring it up, because for me "work" is purely a shitty, mindless necessity and I unfortunately tend to project that onto other people unless they actively show me otherwise.
So I both like having such friends as mentioned in the tweet, and I frequently *am* that friend (for better or for worse). I don't even know if my sibling has a job right now or what it is if so, and I usually talk to them a few times a week. About their kid, about shared hobbies, about movies or books, about food, whatever interests us at the time. But unless they bring up work that's not gonna be relevant to me; I know they're making do economically and that's what matters in terms of labor.
my job just has a dry, complicated explanation because "my company is a third party hired by insurance companies to perform forensic review of high dollar medical bills" is jargon-adjacent and people don't 100% know what it means. i use exclusively programs nobody has heard of and do boring spreadsheets about it. that's why people don't know what i do exactly.
"Am I going to die on this hill? Yes I am." *deletes video*
"Am I going to die on this hill? Yes I am."' *A second later* "So anyway I deleted this video because-"
I just kept waiting for him to say something disagreeable, or at least a reason to delete the video, and then he was just like “I don’t care enough to explain,” and I was just like yeah that’s fair have a good day lmfao
"I don't care about Satan" is the most suspicious way you could have dealt with that XD
I'll care about Satan when he comes back from the milk store
crazy that little joel has as many thousands of subscribers as there are dalmatians
in the world or
@@tonoornottono yeah
This is the dumbest smart comment I can remember on this platform. Please never stop doing what you do
102 ? I'm not aware of dalmatian lore.
But that would explain why i've never seen one. Also bc my cousin used to skin the ones in the neighborhood (allegedly)
No longer true now he has as much as the sequel film
For 1 million subscribers can we get a Little Joel blu ray box set with director's commentary on every Little Joel video?
I made a game on guessing why Joel deleted each video. I got it wrong every time. Makes me question if I really know Joel at all
You know very little about Joel
@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 Is it proportional though? Meaning the bigger the Joel the more you know about him? Is this why we haven't heard of smaller Joels?
@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 Okay tough guy. I know little about Joel. But do u know big about Joel? I think not
Me too lol
15:32 I used to do work making crystal optics (lenses, windows, and prisms) for use in analytical devices and NOBODY UNDERSTOOD WHAT THAT MEANT.
I eventually just started saying “I make crystals for lasers and shit”, because that was the closest thing I could think of that wouldn’t completely short circuit peoples’ brains.
Yeah, one of my theories on the "friend who doesn't know what you do" was that a lot of the people it resonated with were people whose jobs were really obvious and useful (like a plumber) and they liked having a friend who obviously doesn't value them for their ability to fix a toilet, but there are probably more people who like the tweet because their job is s pointless even THEY barely know what they do, and it's a cope to act like that's good actually. Or people like yourself who have really interesting jobs they're passionate about (I'm just assuming you're passionate about it because it sounds cool forgive me if it's actually rly dull) but no-one can be bothered to try and understand it. It's sad, really.... I'd love to hear about analytical grade crystal optics at a dinner party or something.
i dont care if i wouldnt understand it causethat sounds awesomeenaywya snddn
I remember really enjoying 2 of these vids before they were deleted. The Joe Rogan/ Ilhan Omar video was great & the ending with the maniac laughter was delightful. And the Satanist vid: just the pure unadulterated sass! I fkn love the sass!
I think your style of "cutting thru the bullshit and just saying 100% correct shit for 3 minutes in such a dry way that it makes it seem like everyone else is being really weird and silly for dancing around it" is extremely on display in the masculinity one and I liked it
thank you, as a loyal little joel viewer, i am simply delighted to have the full collection
the satanist video is so uncanny because this is the first big joel video where I feel like you have a very over the top sense of humor, usually it's like a little dry or there's something there but it's like a tidbit, the satanist video legitimately had me in tears for a good 3 minutes as it descended into a literal challenge satanists to curse you. like you just transformed into a different dude over a very random and obscure take
I simply can't believe that Joel drops such a banger of a line as “I don't got anything wrong with buff boys, I don't got anything wrong with woods boys” and then decided the video was so boring he had to delete it. That line alone gets me up in the morning.
The masculinity and “friends don’t ask questions about work” videos were great and should have remained
this is the ultimate work of authenticity. this is why i feel joel speaks for our generation. this is what we're talking about. self reflecion. to open up and show the negatives, the way that we participated in things we are against, our contradictions and impulsivities. good work
relatable momennttttt
real
Halloween has a dark energy? Quick, call the physics department, they've been looking for that stuff for years!
I can't imagine anyone more insane than a person who is told gas stoves can cause asthma and immediatly goes "wtf I love gas stoves now". Like really the contrast between that article and the tweets right after gave me whiplash.
if it funds the fossil fuel industry they’ve gotta protect it
I'm ready to eat with little Joel and his deleted videos ♥️
oh with yeah okay
same lol
I too am ready to eat little Joel
I'm ready to eat little Joel and his deleted videos 🫀
same lmaoo
So glad I made 100,000 alt accounts to a subscribe to little Joel so I could watch these deleted video
Thank you so much. I needed this video, but I just didn’t really feel like subscribing
as one of your alter egos i can confirm
Agreed. It was a lot of work, but definitely worth it. I think I earned a pat on the back, me o7
The Joe Rogan one is the funniest Little Joel video I've seen yet. I'm so glad you put it back up.
deleted videos AND directors commentary on them, this is more I could ever asked for.
''Why we need conspiracy theories'' was actually such a banger. Wild that Mr. Joel removed it bc he thought it was 'boring'
for real, too hard on himself
Joel please give us a long form sassy satanism video, everybody just has to promise they won’t be weird about it
I liked the gas stove one. It might have been because I was busy at the time but I didn't hear any good analysis or takes on that whole thing, and I thought this was a good one. I also thought the point was fine? The first things to pop up to test the sincerity of "are you looking out for the children" was gas stoves and school shootings, and they just couldn't help themselves.
I like that one cause his hair looks great in it, like a curly halo
@@disastergirl888 He's just a stunning individual in ALL Little Joels yes, that goes without saying
Joel's guide to masculinity: Go into the woods and be buff.
It is said that once an individual is buff, goes into the woods, and then eats hot chip and lies, they will channel such perfectly balanced androgynous energy that the whole gender system will implode forever
big joel was, in fact, afraid of the satanists
All of the videos you thought of as boring I actually thought were some of the most interesting and piqued my interest the most.
Indeed. U spent lot of times watching videos of buff dudes in the forest afterwards.
This closure to your previous thoughts is so fascinating. I often delete my artwork from my blog when I take another look at it and cringe. I never really go back to analyze why I made them and posted them then deleted them, then shared that with my followers. Inspiring! Thank you for caring to share your thoughts!!
I've never identified as a Satanist, but having grown up as an Evangelical Fundamentalist, I get why they identify that way. When you're gay and in the church I attended, you're often told that it's Satan who is trying to convince you that you can be happy as an openly gay person. When you're a woman, you're told that seeking power in the church is Satan's influence. When you're disabled, telling non-disabled people not to pray over you is seen as being sinful for a variety of reasons. Heck, I was even criticized for causing men to lust because my disability made it difficult for my top on the right side to not slip down and reveal my bra strap. When you look at the way the church treats people in marginalized groups and see that all Satan wants is for you to be who you are, it can be easy to look at Satan as the unsung hero in the Biblical story. It's easy to identify with him because he demanded to usurp power over him that he saw as unjust, and he rallied others around him for that purpose. He's the ideal. A character who did what he thought was right, even knowing that he was fighting an all-powerful being. That's a powerful symbol when you leave the faith, and it can be cathartic to just admit, "Yes, I am the evil that you despise so much, that I was taught to fear so that these cis white heterosexual non-disabled men could monopolize power, and I revel in being that evil."
Definitely the worst Joel take, big or little.
I cant personally relate to that, but i cant imagine the catharsis is worth making your opinion/perspective so absolutely ridiculously easy to misconstrue or lie about, that taking up the name of Christianitys greatest boogieman delivers satisfaction enough to justify it. I also cant imagine the idea appealing to anyone who hasnt gone through that sort of thing either, as while i can be sympathetic to the idea, continued use of the term just feels petty, like defining yourself in opposition to Christianity instead of actually being free from it.
@leaffinite3828 Well, I would argue that I will never be free of Christianity within my lifetime. I come from a family that's very fundamentalist Christian, and I live in an area where fundamentalist Christians commonly make laws to suppress my rights. Like it or not, I'm in a position where I will be engaging with it for the rest of my life. As I said, I'm not a Satanist, but I think that there's power in the statement. To an Evangelical Fundamentalist, no matter what I do, I will always be evil and Satanic. My position will always be misconstrued and lied about on the reg. Labeling yourself as a Satanist is empowering because you're reclaiming the use of a figure that was used to scare you into compliance your whole life. It's kind of like how many gay people have reclaimed the term "queer." When they did that, they took away the power that their oppressors had to use it against them.
@@BSR-zy2so it just doesnt matter because to me because outside of that emotional aspect it has no benefit. I can understand logically if people prefer that but ill never empathize with it or partake in it. You cant reclaim satanism like you can words like queer because its part of a wider belief system as opposed to just being a slur, its like trying to redefine what "earth" means. I wont argue about this further because i recognize the issue is im trying to come up with a logical reason to use the term satanist outside of pettiness or intentionally pissing off christians, and there isnt one.
@leaffinite3828 Well, if you're looking for a logical reason to use the term, it's been used successfully to advocate for church/state separation. Satanists often ask for inclusion in public spaces, like schools or government facilities, where Christianity has privilege in a particular area. When Satanists demand equal access, Christians' distaste for a religion based around Satan will often reveal gatekeeping tactics that need to be closed. Forcing the courts to confront Christian supremacy usually expands rights for religious minorities.
Note: I would also argue that what Satanists are doing is no less valid than what Jewish feminists did with the Lilith figure. Lilith was part of a wider belief system, but her image was reclaimed from being a patriarchal reminder to women of their husband's supremacy. Now, Lilith is often a figure that represents the autonomy of women, even against insurmountable patriarchy. Even if the reasons behind the reclamation were only "emotional," this was incredibly empowering to many women and helped them overcome oppression that they had faced based on the Lilith story. I admire and support that, just as I admire and support Satanists.
Glad to have this insight to the varied history of the channel, you can see Joel was but a boy in the oldest ones
Something about any little joel video is just so clickable. I just have to click. The videos. Cheers!
The other thing that makes it hard to believe satanists really just want to be freethinking atheists is how much of a role "magick" seems to play in satanism
The two videos you thought were boring are also two of my favorite Little Joel videos. Just like, for the record.
As a tattoo artist, and we always pretend to be satanists, I am extremely offended. I was going ballistic the whole time laughing cause what you say is so true. I’m still keeping my satan statue tho
Why do tattoo artists always pretend to be satanists? I would love to hear your perspective
@@livelyy. it's probably just fun. like you've gotta be at least a little contrarian to make a living off of tattoo artistry in a country predominantly populated by people who believe in religious scripture that demonizes tattoos. and i think satanists are, if anything, contrarian. they're all bout opposing the christian normative status quo, regardless of whether they're just Atheists who like Reason and Logic or if they're just genuine fans of the big red guy downstairs. so if you're already subverting one common christian idea (tattoos are sin because no marking the flesh), might as well be a little silly about it and have a statue of satan right. but i don't know, i'm not the OP or a tattoo artist, so i might be stupid wrong. who knows. that's what i've got thoguh
i'm also a tattoo artist but i opted for paganism and witchcraft instead
Hearing you talk so comfortably about being wrong made me a little less scared of being wrong

I was really expecting the first video to be titled "You Should Clean My Balls"
Can't wait for Medium Joel content after the unexpected success of Little Joel.
Yes! My dream is Joel videos that are 10-15 minutes long. This is my dream.
In the mean time you guys could try having 2 windows open and watch them together picture-in-picture style.
@@whatelseison8970 it's like a Joel round table
That’s just full-size Joel, I think
@@joshfennell2257 ah my mistake
Feel like a true Joel'er having watched a couple of these before they were deleted.
Deleting things you said online because you just don't want to deal with the replies you're getting is incredibly relatable.
Little Joel’s Strange World take is kinda similar to what I brought up to my family after we watched it. Like the problem in the movie is the energy itself, not the way it’s used unsustainably. It would be like us recognizing that our use of fossil fuels is hurting the planet and deciding the solution is to nuke all the oil and coal instead of readdressing the way we use it. Like in the movie, the existence of the plant itself is what’s killing the planet, but in the real world, the way giant corporations use fossil fuels and lobby to keep us dependent on fossil fuels is what’s killing the planet. Oil simply being on earth isn’t the problem, it’s how we use it
Yeah, it's a very sloppy metaphor. It does seem like cultivating the parasite plant does contribute to it growing more and endangering the turtle, but it's not examined in enough detail to explain that somehow it wasn't a crisis when there were just a few of the plants in their native habitat. Having every parasite plant connected is also awkward because the 'everything is connected' trope is usually meant as a good thing.
@@oasntet yeah, it ends up being convoluted and confusing. The analysis it provides is also at best interpersonal rather than systemic. Like there’s the fact that the plant is a natural thing, yet makes the planet sick, which contradicts the metaphor, but there’s also the fact that the solution is something a few people can solve with one decision and the big conflict perpetuating it is just that some people don’t want to let go of the past. But real life is so much broader and harder to tackle than that. Our current economic system is dependent on fossil fuels, and it’s not a simple matter of what people want but the systems of power that keep us dependent of fossil fuels and can only be beaten through broad solidarity and mass action against those systems
"Everyone should have a friend that tickles their little butt and spits on them" is something I can agree with
I mean, I want that
As an autistic person who relies on predetermined questions to talk to people, some variation of "what do you do for work" leads to decent conversation for 97% of people. No other question works as well. Please don't be one of those people who gets upset at my attempts to appear normal lol
It's one I'm not that much of a fan, because my autism is the reason I don't work.
But I get the idea. I get creative taking about what I studied or what I'm doing of my life. It helps knowing who's worth my time, at least.
I like to ask what people do in their free time, commenting on that and asking them to expand on it. Usually they get excited talking about something they like. Not everyone tho
Asking what people do for a living is great! My job involves having to talk to people and get them to open up (I work in health and wellness so getting people comfortable is important). I've found people's favorite topics are: pets, hobbies/interests (I know so much about anime despite not watching any), and their dreams/aspirations. People can talk forever about that stuff if you casually ask "you have any pets?"
it’s not a bad thing to point out that appealing to the mean is still excluding the outliers. upholding “normal” in that way is what enforces-justifies, whether correctly or just indulgently-the structure. it’s not a bad thing for people to have reactions that ARE a distaste for or rejection of The Enforced Standard. yes, use what tools best help you socially, but in appealing to the mean, it’s not really fair to demand the regard of the outliers as well.
Honestly the video on the satanists resonated with me so much because I have met quite a bit of them online and even IRL and every single one would say "I am a satanist" and in parenthesis (I don't worship satan) like its something they constantly have to tell people. Like no shit you have to clarify that because you called yourself a fucking Satanist??? It always makes me blank stare and wonder what is happening.
Half of thier thing is just being like "Lol this will piss off Christians" when in reality all it does is make themselves look bad? Like even if you aren't a Christian you still probably wouldn't want to associate with someone like that. It would be like creating a group called the "WeLoveHitlerians" and then having to specifiy that you don't actually love Hitler.
Wow excited to be watching these ancient Joel viddys with everybody at the same time :) I wonder which ones I've seen already
the joe rogan one is so funny, i understand why you took it down but that shit is comedy GOLD.
I think it's interesting that a lot of these videos are things you didn't like having responses and comments about, but by packaging all of them together, you change their context so that the conversation is different. People are talking about the video containing a bunch of clips instead of just talking about the clips. I'm sure some of them still happen, but it's interesting.
I thought this was going to be a 28 min long rant about why he deletes videos lol
your profile pic is wonderful
@@louisaruth thank you I'm quite proud of it
Huh. I absolutely missed the new energy source in Strange World, too. You'd think they'd have shown just a bit more of it if it's that easy to miss...
It's not even solar! It's a wind turbine demonstrated in the last couple minutes, but since the whole movie has a green airship with propellers, it's super easy to miss that the new airship is a simple green balloon with a turbine generator, not propellers for propulsion. And it's on-screen for about five seconds.
The gas stove, Joe Rogan and Jews, and the weird tweet videos honestly should not have been deleted.
Satanism video was good too, but i guess ppl were being annoying about it
"I bet you're on the edge of your seat wondering which boring video you'll get to watch next."
*is on the edge of my seat excited for the next boring video
Boring Joel bangers, one after another
The best thing about this video for me was realizing how many LittleJo videos I watch as soon as they come out, and how many of these I haven't seen before
Thanks BabyJoda, appreciate ya
As a trans person with asthma, I actually vibe pretty hard with the last deleted vid
Did your parents have gas stove?
The anti satanist rant is the funniest thing I've seen in a month.
@So Mad He knows exactly who the Satanic Temple and Church of Satan are. He doesn't care. Satanism is an Abrahamic trope that is over 2,000 years old. You can't just say "no, that's not 'real' Satanism" thousands of years later, as if one person can decide that definition no longer applies. There is the traditional meaning of "Satanist" defined as someone who worships Satan in willful defiance of God, and there is the newer meaning defined as an antitheist who applies Satanic symbolism to their opposition to theistic religion in general but usually Christianity in particular. Those are clearly different people, and if you ask which one is the "real" Satanist, most people won't give you the answer you want.
@So Mad username checks out
@So Mad I mean, he's not wrong in saying that it'd be accurate to call people who worship Satan Satanists. If atheistic Satanists don't want to be associated with theistic Satanists maybe they should've chosen a different name.
@@onewingedangel9189 they do. Satan is a representation of the rejection of the Christian God. He was cast out for challenging God's ultimate power, he gave humans the free will to reject God, he's the one telling you being gay is alright, he's the one telling you women aren't subservient.
You don't have to literally believe in a theistic diety to be a religion (ask Buddhists). When people like you or Joel refuse to actually learn about these religions, it just shows ignorance and an unwillingness to understand other perspectives.
I'd never thought about conspiracists goalpost shifting, just 'cuz you think it's boring doesn't mean we all have tread that ground my Joel of varying size.
I love how little joel says “it’s not that deep bro” in a nice smart sounding way
Oh no, I'm starting to realize that all of the deleted videos are ones that I've watched. My favorite ones. Joel is ashamed of these.. Joel is ashamed of me.
The Joe Rogan one was the only one I felt was a big loss. That was a great one.
Me agreeing with past, decrepit little Joel is such a whirlwind when suddenly I have to change my agreement to fit with the more current, relevant little joel
Everyone should have a friend who tickles their little butt and spits on them when they’re angry.
that friends job video is how my life feels everyday
I skipped past the second video to see what you had to say about it because I thought it was kinda boring and then died laughing when you said "Yeah so I deleted this one cause it was boring"
Little Joel resisting the urge to delete this video
The Satanist one is my fave
same i didn’t even realize he had deleted it! it was so good
first girl got made fun of (called "boring") for rejecting a party invite based on halloween's immorality, felt aggrieved, and made a retort vid.
21:30 i got jumpscared hearing the best little Joel video in this compilation.
thank you Joel these were very thought provoking
Dear God (no religion intended), you said exactly what I've been thinking about "Satanists" for a long time, and you even reacted *exactly* how I did when someone explained it to me.
By concatenating many Little Joels together, I think this may be the first example of a Medium Joel
I love little takes on little takes on little takes
The men, they yearn for the woods!
I'll be honest. Every time he came back and said that he deleted a video because it's boring, I had totally zoned out. So, yeah. Follow your heart and delete the boring ones. You got a good sense of what's actually boring according to me
The mrna one had a great point but it did struggle across the finish line in the middle a wee bit. I think him saying it had already been said I really empathize with
I keep trying to get myself into making youtube videos. I actually enjoy most of the process, it's just the starting energy for most things in life is very high (thanks, adhd!) seeing these "boring" videos was educational for me, to see how you filter your material and make some decisions. This helps take out some of the apprehension to just do it.. Thanks for sharing!
So this is what Medium Joel feels looks
There were non-MRNA vaccines available from the start in some countries. Here in the UK the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine was used as part of the first vaccine rollout in 2020/21, and that isn't an MRNA vaccine. Personally I had the Pfizer MRNA vaccine, but I know others who had the AstraZeneca vaccine. (Ironically, the AstraZeneca vaccine turned out to have a rare side effect of causing blood clotting, whereas there were no such problems with the MRNA vaccine.)
i love how you frame this entire video as if it’s gonna put me to sleep while i would literally listen to you describe the hue of your shit for 12 hours a day
I agreed with the girl in the first video on the idea that modern holidays are an obligation for many people and people like myself being autistic suffer the consequences of the social stigma of opting out of holidays... but then that was not the argument she was making
Dang we’re eating well today. Thank you for this meal Joel, even if it is technically leftovers 🙏
Little "I was wrong about the children's movie strange world" Joel
Little Joel has a self reflective intelligence that I think Big Joel would really smile at, you should be proud of your little guy
I missed most of these but I remember seeing the satanism one and it was an immediate favourite lol. Kinda sad it was deleted but I'm glad it is preserved here (for now)
God I’m glad this video is up I was trynna rewatch Jo Rogan and Jew but was tragically unable to find it
Can anyone explain to me the "Having a friend who doesnt know what your job is?" because I feel like Joel here
i might be able to explain- i think the vibe around that tweet stems from people (mostly younger generations) preferring to not be defined by their jobs. when i finished college in 2008 and everything was fucked, my peers and i all agreed that there was nothing more rude or alienating than being asked, "so, what do you do?" upon introduction. this question almost always came from folks insulated from the crash who seemed unaware that they were interrogating you about how you were literally staying alive. it induced stress just thinking about how to answer without getting existential, so the conversation would go like this:
"do you mean, "what do i do?" bc i do lots of stuff, or do you mean "what do i do for money?"?"
"tee-hee, i mean "what do you do for money?""
"oh. i work menial job for pay that does not cover the bills with no end in sight. i don't really want to think about it right now." and then change the subject without asking what they do.
that said, it can be a total privilege to be able to live undefined by your job. your friends can only not know what you do for a living if things are so good for you that you have nothing to complain about. still, i NEVER ask what people do/did for a living, and if they don't bring it up, i will never know.
i have not had a job since covid started, so when i was catching up with an old friend the other day who asked what i have been up to, and i started explaining, they interrupted to clarify, "no like, for work"... sigh. the last thing i want to talk about about is goddamn work (unless you are unionizing or quitting). i guess that makes me the person that people should be friends with 🤷♀
i dont know why it matters. Lots of people work unfufilling jobs they hate or are ashamed of. I have a friend that ive had for a decade that i genuinely, gun to my head, have no idea what she does. I know its in finance but it just never comes up bc she doesnt talk about it. Im friends with her because shes my friend.
@@louisaruth That helps a lot. I was also completely confused. The idea that people feel ashamed of being unemployed or having a low-paying job or getting money from their parents or whatever does put it into context. I know from experienced that getting asked what you do for a living all the time when you are unemployed is extremely irritating, even if most people don't really judge you for it.
I still can't really get behind the tweet, because I still don't think it's that crucial to have friends you never open up to, but it does make way more sense now.
@@Leafeon56 honstly, you sound like a nice friend. she didn't talk about her job bc she didn't want to, and i bet she appreciated that you never asked
@@EebstertheGreat glad i could help, and i agree w you. the tweet seems born out of privilege, even though i can't put my finger on exactly why
Wow, I love these longer videos from Little Joel! How novel!
I wonder if there's somewhere I can see more longer videos... perhaps from a bigger joel?
I guess I'll never know.
