Ryan is too good for youtube. TH-cam has held him back and doesn’t deserve someone as talented as him. He should find a better platform that can support him as a creator.
I refuse to believe he's 30- I mean he's aging so slowly, he looks the exact same 10 years ago. Ryan I hope you're doing okay. Please keep your head high:), you've done so much for me. Growing up, I still continue to watch u now. Love you bro.
@@nR-nc8mb It was kind of annoying how he kept equating 30 to 60+ he was the age I am now when he made this so I guess I’d better start thinking about what I wanna leave my grandkids when I die, I suppose I gotta have kids first though
Well yeah, by the times when only a few had 1m subs, he had 2m, he was number one for a long time, but then pewds and other channels became crazy famous, by just playing and recording themselves, the uprising gaming era and the dawn of skits era
"I used to be embarrassed because I was just a comic-book writer while other people were building bridges or going on to medical careers. And then I began to realize: Entertainment is one of the most important things in people’s lives. Without it, they might go off the deep end. I feel that if you’re able to entertain people, you’re doing a good thing." -Stan Lee Don't worry about not affecting other peoples lives. It's too late. You already have :)
I’m now watching this in 2022 and I just realized that this should’ve been a foreshadowing of him no longer making videos for a while. I truly don’t think there’s anyone on TH-cam that can replace the greatness that Ryan has created. Your talent, Ryan, is truly something out of this world. You have no idea the impact that you’ve had on me and I’m sure millions of other people. I hope you truly find the thing that makes you the happiest because you deserve the world. Thank you for everything that you did and still do. ❤
Frl Ryan is the goat of TH-cam. I miss him. Srly I hope he’s happy doing twitch but I rly do wish he would at least make a goodbye video officially announcing his departure from TH-cam cuz at this point let’s be real he’s not coming back. Even if it’s just like a 3 minute video I’d be fine with that.
Talent is a little big but I know what you mean. But I think it's more along the lines of Ryan showing the world that you don't need to be born rich in order to make it big. You don't need hollywood to become famous. And all you need to gain an audience of adoring fans is heart and lots of effort. Ryan was a blessing on this here website. And I am patiently awaiting his return. If he ever does. And if he doesn't, I hope he lives life to the absolute fullest because he honestly deserves it
It's kind of sad to hear that the voice inside Ryan's head is pressuring him to change because he's "too old" to be a social media star. The main reason why he still has so many loyal fans to this day is because he never changed. So many OG TH-camrs who started alongside him have sold their souls to maintain longevity, but have turned into corporate shells of who they used to be. Ryan is the one of the only TH-camrs who has remained the same person we subscribed to on day 1. Legends never die.
@@porcupinesauce3872 you do know that smosh has the worst track record in maintaining their OG style right? Smosh was founded by Ian and Anthony and they don't even own a % of the brand. 🤷🏻♂️
Let's be real for a sec, Ryan Higa's channel has been so underrated for more than a decade now. True "lamps" really appreciate you. Please never leave TH-cam, we love the free, quality content you give us.
@Ishtiaque Walid there are a lot of youtubers that not put an effort to make videos as much as ryan but have more views and sub , youtubers that only flexing on their yt channel
@Ishtiaque Walid 2mil views for a channel that has 21 subs is small, face it ryans channel has been dying his views arent the same anymore im sad to admit it but his last hit was probobly the fortnite skit
@Ishtiaque Walid but look at the ratio. if he has 21 million subs, he should at least be getting half of that number for views if not more. but not only that, for his effort and hard-work ryan's numbers deserve to be higher, in my opinion.
I am Indian, none of my friends used to know about Ryan during his prime and none of my friends know about him today, but I can still say that he had a great influence on my childhood. Thankyou man!
misstary13 the fact that he doesn’t ever put himself on a pedestal despite his long history of success is the very thing that makes him so, you won’t ever see or hear him call himself that, people who see his authentic genuine character just already know without additional input.
I’m coming to this a year later, you randomly popped up in my mind. I haven’t watched your videos in like 5 years but you were a staple of my childhood, I still reference your songs and old videos. The minute I played this video and heard your voice I felt at home. I’m not usually one for forming parasocial relationships but this video immediately made me realize how comfortable I feel coming back to your channel and how safe I felt in an instant. I went through a lot of struggles as a child and me and my brother went through a lot of abuse but your videos were something we always could come home and actually enjoy. We’d scramble to my grandpas laptop just to rewatch your videos over and over and laugh. It gave us a small break from the torment of our regular lives. I couldn’t be more grateful for what you gave us.
Ryan says repeatedly that hes wasted so much time but I don't think I would call it wasted. I grew up watching his stuff and loving his content. There wasn't a lot of Asian representation in western media and I am grateful that his channel existed. His videos would take me away from whatever was happening in my life at the time, and I appreciated that, even if it was only for 5-10 minutes of my day. I'm 22 this year and honestly I think that's crazy too, I definitely don't feel old enough but I hope that if Ryan ever reads this he knows that he's influenced a lot of people's lives for the better. He may not have two kids but he undoubtedly made the lives of many better. I think hes definitely matured but its refreshing to see that his essence and sense of humor is the same because to be able to see the world with a childlike wonder is a rare and valuable thing. And it reminds those of us who were fans from 10 years ago of a time that was much simpler, it gives us warm feeling reminiscent of the good parts of childhood.
There's something weirdly comforting to me about seeing the different ways different TH-camrs grow out of youtube fame. Ryans a great example of doing it gracefully, so is Julian Smith and a few other greats come to mind.
Ryan is like the old school anime writers. They take a lot of hiatuses but when they come back it's always up to par with what they've done before because they're that good so it's always worth the wait.
You've been so impactful to me in my teen years, Ryan. A large part of my comedic sense came from you. Thank you for all the good you've done in this world.
Dear Ryan, for the past decade you've made so many people happy through your videos. Your existence HAS made a significant impact on several lives. Your videos are my happy pill. Even after a decade, your puns never fail to crack me up. You may feel like there has been no growth, but as someone who's been watching since 2007, I can assure you, you've only been improving. I just wanna say Ryan that we love you and will support you regardless of whether you stay the same or decide to change.
same for me to ive been watching since my brother introduced this channel to me i had a hard time adapting to school since i was a korean who have been living in england but ryans videos gave me laughter every time i was depressed so ryan if you see this we all know that you have been improving for the last decades
Couldn’t agree more! I learned about TH-cam through your videos way back when I was an innocent kid back in elementary school. I’m in college now. My sense of humor is still very obviously influenced by you, as is much of my personality. I’m so grateful for all the videos you’ve made and everything you’ve done, dude! And if you do feel like you want to make a genuine impact in another vein, off TH-cam, I’d support you there, too. We all would. You’ve proven that you can remain charismatic and genuine AND put out consistently innovative and high-quality video content for years. You’d be great at whatever you put your mind to.
You were my first favorite TH-camr and your videos helped make my childhood so happy. I just turned 29 and I happened to come across this video. It’s weird being in this transition period… Maybe an 80 year old would still think I’m young. Thank you for sharing this. In two dog lifetimes I’ll be telling my kids, “back in my day we had Ryan Higa.” Much love for you always!!! ❤
Ryan Higa is definitely NOT growing old, if anything TH-cam is growing too old for people like him Higa is my idol, and I aspire to be like him one day, don't give a heck about the algorithm or about TH-cam, but about true content and comedy Keep it up, legend
The fact that Ryan can come back on TH-cam today and his content basically remain the same yet be as potent , relevant and good as ever speaks volume to how much of a legend he is. I'm in a similar boat with Ryan although younger but i have accepted the fact that you never actually figure life out and it's always going to seem like a blur no matter what you do. Because if that's the case for people like Ryan who have , in my eyes, done so much in their life then it's obviously going to be like this for the everyday person just going through life.
I remember I used to watch Ryan when I was 12, and now I'm 23. Haven't watched a video of his in a good 3-4 years, and just came upon this. What a legend. This guy is just as sweet, humble, and hilarious as he's always been.
Guys, let's all appreciate what Ryan has done for us throughout all these years. We need to understand that his mental health is more important than anything else right now. We must continue to support him in whatever he decides to pursue in the future. Love you Ryan!
Ryan feeling like he's not contributed anything significant to the world is like the guy who invented the wheel being like: "Flarg it, I never did anything useful for anyone."
can't believe ryan and arden dated for literally YEARS but soon after announcing it to the public they broke up... i hope it wasn't the comments or speculation that made them break up :(
@@canti7951 I wasn't being salty about Pewdiepie, I know he is good guy and he also adressed the issue about racism, but I have seen many of his fans straight up cyber bullying Indians.
Commenting this in 2024. Ryan carried my childhood, love coming back to his videos now that I'm older to look back at all the silly things I used to enjoy
I read "commenting this in 2024" and I thought it was a joke. Like, 2024 is the future, not now, surely! I just never thought It would be 2024, at least not until 2050.
You probably won’t see this but I’m graduating from your High School this year! And Mr. Olive talks about you sometimes during our Physics lessons, and yeah, he’s still teaching lol Edit #1: He’d always say how quiet Ryan was. Olive also admitted to trying to discourage Ryan from doing TH-cam to focus on a career path. Now he laughs about it and says it’s like a slap to the face the way everything turned out Edit #2: Not sure if you guys are talking about the same teacher, his class is H104
I just turned 29 yesterday and I came back re-watching this video. I am feeling unhappy and having lots of anxieties about getting old, and not getting all the things done in life as I planned when I was young. But... I never really regretted any decisions I made in my 20s so far. I no longer care about how people think of me and I started focusing on myself a lot more. Even though I am still learning to be mature, pursuing my dreams & taking things one step at a time, that's completely okay, and everyone has their own rhythms in life. I will continue to follow my heart to do whatever I want, no regrets.
As a fellow 29 year old i want to slap everyone that says "when i was young" ... the word you are looking for is when i was "younger" Researching ages... 30 is literally considered "early adulthood" , your body BARELY stops its development with bone density at age 30 You are now in REGULAR adulthood, fully grown, THAT is what freaks us out, no more excuses freaks us out, but we are also YOUNG , There is no "30" as an Old option lol 45 is midlife according to google and the biological age study, LITERALLY 30 not being young is a Man made concept and made worse by tv and films bashing our heads with it for years, we all have contracted collective insanity to believe 30 is even close to old, Its closer to your teen years than to being actual old... let that sink in lol just everybody stop haha
I would actually go to the theatre and watch a movie directed by Ryan. No kidding. The fact that the industry hasn't realised the potential of this yet is sad.
The moment I realized he's going to be 30, I also realized how much I grown up with him. Man, he literally shaped my sense of humour. I gained confidence in high school because of him. Without his humour that I can somehow copy, no one will appreciate me. Never change, Ryan! 🙏
Ikr! he is the reason I got to love puns soo much. He was the only youtuber I could watch without having to worry about hearing a curse word(ofcourse for his mind blowing content too).
Ye because they’re always PUNexpected it makes the best PUNishment like sure dad jokes have cringey PUNchlines to make it PUNny but with puns you need to PUNSintrate for the right moment to PUNleash the PUN experience :D
I don't know if this helps you in any way, but I hope you know that you *have* made a difference in a lot of peoples lives; not only have you inspired hundreds of people to create, to live on, you've also broadened others perspectives on life, including mine. You've brought attention to issues that don't get enough coverage, been a source of laughter and happiness during the world's dark times, and you've definitely educated millions of people on the dark sides of the media and other trends (the first thing that comes to mind is all the times you've fought for asian representation, like the Steve Harvey video, that really hit close to home heh) You're totally entitled to any choices you decide to follow through with regarding the channel, or anything outside your life on the internet, but I hope you know that you already *have* changed millions of lives, no matter what path life will take you on in the future
Always tears me up when “30” Ryan tells Ryan he won’t do anything significant for the world, but this man has been a role model for thousands, millions and most definitely have helped those people through rough times in life. Ryan might not be making Hollywood movies, but he has been making people laugh and smile for years and his videos will help and make others laughs for years to come.
bruh. "never done something meaningful in life"? pfft. you literally were my entire childhood. i didnt watch gaming channels, i didnt watch smosh or stuff like that. i only watched you and your friends. i know it was kinda silly but i didnt have internet back then. i would go to a neighbors house to only watch and rewatch your videos for hours. thats all i did. you stayed consistent for years and years and we got what we subscribed for. your subscribers are loyal. youtubers have their subs coming and going and views going down due to irrelevancy. even if you post rarely, we always come back for you. most, if not all youtubers have changed their content because of youtube changing but you're the one who has been the same from day 1. i have watched you since 2008 and i still watch you, every single day. of all the people, you're the most influential person in my life. thank you for that. never let yourself down. you're a legend. and legends never die. teehee, man. you'll always be a part of me.
You said it so well. As a fellow lamp, I agree. But maybe that’s why we’re called lamps... because Ryan... Ryan is the circuit that gives us light and connects us all. (Idk if what I just typed will sound weird to others, tho)
Ryan could literally leave for an entire year and imma still come back to support whatever content he creates. Edit: WOW I'VE NEVER HAD SO MANY LIKES BEFORE LOL.
With Ryan though, I've never really been upset by the breaks he takes from youtube because whenever he does upload it's always quality content and never once does he give us absolutely irrelevant excuses for these breaks either. I adore his humor and have been here for a WHILE. I hope he knows there are people out there who love him and genuinely still support his content!
Irrelevant excuses for these breaks? What makes an irrelevant excuse for a break? Maybe he just wants a break. No other reason. Just not feeling it. Does that count as an irrelevant excuse? You're not paying for his content (as far as I'm aware) so any excuse should really be perfectly okay. It is his life, his content. And even if you were paying, as long as you weren't made to continue to pay when there's no content being released, then it's all gravy.
He is the OG TH-cam star. He's one of the few who changed the face of TH-cam. All the current youtube "stars" are standing of his shoulders. TIL Ryan Higa strong af boi.
@@dragonbane44 Don't you think using personal relationships as the main content of videos is exploiting that relationship? It is personal. All good to know who is dating whom, but when that's the main content up in a video, you might as well waste time gossiping.
Nigahiga was the YT channel that I enjoyed and waited for new video every week since 2011. Then I saw his picture with his gf in facebook. It a coincidence as the person that I followed on Facebook was Malaysian woman who doing business at USA then she shared her family picture having a vacation at Niagara Falls and I saw Ryan Higa in that picture enjoying his time with the family. He looks happy and as a long time fan, it's nice to see him living his life to the fullest.
It hurts to think that Ryan, who's been making us happy and laugh with all his videos for years is going through so much, and as a Lamp it sucks not being able to help someone who's helped us so much like I said, for literally years. Ryan, whatever you decide to do us Lamps will always support you. Don't be too hard on yourself, do what makes you happy, thats all we want. Lots of love from South Africa. 💚🌼
its sad, like i see my little brother just watching these stupid family vlogs and like i just think how hes not gonna experience actual content creators and skits mann.. like remember actual good skits and the og asian youtube community mannn
I feel like Ryan's actually matured a lot this past decade. I used to watch him when I was in high school and now I'm 26 lol He has that really good balance of being "stupid" and taking things seriously that I really enjoy watching him. Anyway, I'm looking forward to another dog life death period of videos from you, Ryan! Or movies? Or nothing if you need to take a break lol
My older cousins introduced me to him when I was like 5 and now I'm in highschool still watching him. I think his how to be a ninja was the first youtube video I ever saw. He's still hilarious
When you think it’s just a basic TH-camr’s sad video. Ryan blows your mind by having several quality skits to explain how he feels. Never change Ryan. You made my childhood
I know right?? Damn, in a sea of boring ass vloggers cashing views on basically zero content Ryan delivers so fucking well. A pleasure to watch, a remnant of good old TH-cam days. Respect.
it’s crazy to think that Ryan was like my introduction into TH-cam, he was one of the first videos EVER to watch on here and that was when he came out with his FAMOUS how to be gangster, ninja, etc. i was in 6th or 7th grade and now i’m 23 yrs old and he’s still going at it making me laugh because i understand a lot more than i did as a kid. much love to this guy.
Im almost 25 and grew up watching Ryan. Seeing his 30 y/o character talk him down like that still stung lol even if Ryan always ends his “deep inner monologue” skits with a outta pocket joke, the content is there. Anyway, I may be younger than you Ryan but I feel it. As a post grad student tryna figure my shit out, I kinda get where you’re coming from and this video actually helped validate feelings of inadequacy with who I thought I’d be at this age. I don’t have an in appropriate joke to rip the tension now so uh, thanks lol
Honestly, your feelings are natural to everyone in your shoes. I just talked to a young buck who was worried about his senior prom from High School being cancelled because of the coronavirus. The way he was whining about it, it seemed like it was the end of the world for him. And he's not even sick. In actuality, when you get to the point where you're at...you're at the actual beginning stages of your adult life mentally. For me, I've been in the military, been to college, been around places in the world, and met a lot of people. I'm at least a decade past what Ryan is about to enter into. All I can tell you is, take your time. Enjoy life. Don't stress too much about things. Take it one day at a time. Whatever you're trying to figure out, don't rush it.
"I know I won't be married, I probably won't be done with youtube.... I probably won't do anything signifcant.." ryan. you made me tear up a bit here homie. real talk, you have a lot of impact, a lot of impact that you don't necessarily see. You may feel numb, TH-cam may feel like a job now, and new milestones don't give that burst of happiness like it used to, but there's something beyond that for your viewers. You've made me happy, in my most emotional periods of my life, and it's something I truly thank you for. I think it's safe to say you've saved countless lives and allowed people to feel and see what joy truly seems like. I just want you to know that people appreciate you, no matter how old you feel, or what anxieties you get and what hardships you have to go through. You're a strong person who is bringing other people up, and it's something that I truly appreciate about you. Thank you Ryan. I hope you find success in all of your endeavors. Keep having fun, because fun is happiness and happiness will be your success. Mucho amor.
Ryan was a cornerstone of me and my cousin’s childhood. We’d watch it at our grandma’s house and it was one of the first things we bonded over. He also taught me what ADHD was and made me feel better when I was getting bullied. You can’t put that on a resume and it’s not going down in history as something significant, but it is to me so thank you Ryan
All jokes aside it is scary watching someone for so long and seeing them grow older as you progress through your life as well. I was 14 when i started watching Ryan and now i'm 21 going to university and worrying about money and if ill have a stable job by the time i'm 25. It still feels like i only started watching Ryan a little bit ago but its been almost 7 years. The older i get the faster the time seems to go and i'm sitting here wondering if in another 7 years will anything have changed or will i still be thinking the same things wondering about my future. I've seen Felix (Pewdiepie) turn from a yelling kid who gets scared of horror games to a man who talks and preaches philosophy to his 19 year old fans who actually were once 9. As much as people try to avoid it we are all getting older and all of our favorite TH-camrs will slowly move away from the platform and start pursuing other things, and its pretty scary to watch.
TheHalfSuckedMango i relate so much, started when i was 13ish, I’m 22 now and its so weird to see utubers i grew up watching also grow up? Kinda feels bitter sweet
this guy talking about being old is only reminding his whole audience about being old cause we all damn well know we were much younger when we first saw a nigahiga video
this is the first video of yours i watched. i’m too young and i’m sorry i wasn’t a part of that era of youtube because seeing people talk about it makes me feel nostalgic. you seem like a great guy and if i, born within a couple months that youtube was created, if i am here now it means that you left an imprint that’s lasting even past the people you directly affected. i totally look up to you and in 13 years, when i’ll turn 30, i hope to be as wise as you are
Ryan Higa: "I havent done anything meaningful in my life" * Changes the world with his youtube videos and makes people happy with his videos and is lowkey a role model for young kids *
ikr he is a literal legend. one of top youtubers in history. he used to be the most subscribed channel. like that stuff is recorded and gonna be known until the end of time. how many people can say that? i hope he doesnt really think he needs to save the world or have kids to have achieved something in life
@Trinity M It's human nature to have idols. Historically it was typically Religious deities or figures from scripture, but with Religion being on a pretty steady down trend in the modern world people fulfill that innate desire with musicians, entertainers even politicians. Certainly isn't a new phenomenon either, John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, Snoop Dogg, Alexander the Great, etc.
but seriously, Ryan’s been here since the start and the new TH-cam just doesn’t appreciate him at all. He should probably find a new platform that pays him what he deserves and gives him freedom to be the kid he is
100% agree. I used to watch nigahiga all the time back in the day and I'm only just seeing now that he's still creating content. AMAZING content as well

When Ryan says he hasn't done anything meaningful in life or had an impact, I think millions would disagree on that
I sure do! He's given me many meaningful laughs
I wish I never stopped watching him
I almost cried while he said this in the video
Maybe what he meant was he did so much for his fans but nothing meaningful for his self. A lot of youtubers feel that way.

Relatable.
I’m now watching this in 2022 and I just realized that this should’ve been a foreshadowing of him no longer making videos for a while. I truly don’t think there’s anyone on TH-cam that can replace the greatness that Ryan has created. Your talent, Ryan, is truly something out of this world. You have no idea the impact that you’ve had on me and I’m sure millions of other people. I hope you truly find the thing that makes you the happiest because you deserve the world. Thank you for everything that you did and still do. ❤
Frl Ryan is the goat of TH-cam. I miss him. Srly I hope he’s happy doing twitch but I rly do wish he would at least make a goodbye video officially announcing his departure from TH-cam cuz at this point let’s be real he’s not coming back. Even if it’s just like a 3 minute video I’d be fine with that.
I know! his way of living changed my life for the better. He will forever be the person I want to be in life :)
Talent is a little big but I know what you mean. But I think it's more along the lines of Ryan showing the world that you don't need to be born rich in order to make it big. You don't need hollywood to become famous. And all you need to gain an audience of adoring fans is heart and lots of effort.
Ryan was a blessing on this here website. And I am patiently awaiting his return. If he ever does. And if he doesn't, I hope he lives life to the absolute fullest because he honestly deserves it
Still I miss the teehee
I couldn't have said it better myself. There has never been and will never be another youtube channel like this one.
It's weird hearing Ryan say "I'm getting old" and realizing that I too have grown up old after years of watching Ryan's videos.
merotuts ikr
Started watching when I was 13.. Now I'm almost 21
same here.. started watching his videos since 2011. almost a decade now grrr
@@felipeconejo9629 you don't say. I'm almost 15 now too
this hit hard
It's kind of sad to hear that the voice inside Ryan's head is pressuring him to change because he's "too old" to be a social media star. The main reason why he still has so many loyal fans to this day is because he never changed. So many OG TH-camrs who started alongside him have sold their souls to maintain longevity, but have turned into corporate shells of who they used to be. Ryan is the one of the only TH-camrs who has remained the same person we subscribed to on day 1. Legends never die.
cough ray William Johnson Shane Smosh cough
@@porcupinesauce3872 she clearly said one of the only youtubers and not the only youtuber
porcupine Sauce did...did you just try to use Smosh as a good example of channels that haven’t changed
True. He's a Legend. He was number 1 on youtube once. TH-cam should maybe sponsor him forever.
@@porcupinesauce3872 you do know that smosh has the worst track record in maintaining their OG style right? Smosh was founded by Ian and Anthony and they don't even own a % of the brand. 🤷🏻♂️
Let's be real for a sec, Ryan Higa's channel has been so underrated for more than a decade now.
True "lamps" really appreciate you. Please never leave TH-cam, we love the free, quality content you give us.
Vertigo he hasn’t been underrated for 100 years
@Ishtiaque Walid yes he is, look at his views, ryan deserve more views and subs
@Ishtiaque Walid there are a lot of youtubers that not put an effort to make videos as much as ryan but have more views and sub , youtubers that only flexing on their yt channel
@Ishtiaque Walid 2mil views for a channel that has 21 subs is small, face it ryans channel has been dying his views arent the same anymore im sad to admit it but his last hit was probobly the fortnite skit
@Ishtiaque Walid but look at the ratio. if he has 21 million subs, he should at least be getting half of that number for views if not more. but not only that, for his effort and hard-work ryan's numbers deserve to be higher, in my opinion.
I am Indian, none of my friends used to know about Ryan during his prime and none of my friends know about him today, but I can still say that he had a great influence on my childhood. Thankyou man!
im indian as well. we exist! don't worry
yup im indian too and started watching when i was 9, I'm 19 now! so many indian friends of mine did know him
Me and my friends were his fans from his early days, he literally ruled TH-cam at one point
I'm Indian too i started watching him in early 2017, a major part of what my humour is today is because of Ryan.
Indian started watching him 8 years back❤ recommended to me by my Indian frnd living in usa❤
This man changed the world and he’s saying he hasn’t done anything meaningful

Is there any TH-cam channel like this?
he gave us youtube rewind but better, rhpc was always original
changed my whole child hood
Used to be a king for a while.
Ryan Higa is the golden child of TH-cam and you can't convince me otherwise.
Could, but don’t want to. It would only devalue his content for me

Well...
Huh
misstary13 the fact that he doesn’t ever put himself on a pedestal despite his long history of success is the very thing that makes him so, you won’t ever see or hear him call himself that, people who see his authentic genuine character just already know without additional input.
Ryan is a gem and should be protected at all costs. This is the best way to explain that you're aging.

I’m coming to this a year later, you randomly popped up in my mind. I haven’t watched your videos in like 5 years but you were a staple of my childhood, I still reference your songs and old videos. The minute I played this video and heard your voice I felt at home. I’m not usually one for forming parasocial relationships but this video immediately made me realize how comfortable I feel coming back to your channel and how safe I felt in an instant. I went through a lot of struggles as a child and me and my brother went through a lot of abuse but your videos were something we always could come home and actually enjoy. We’d scramble to my grandpas laptop just to rewatch your videos over and over and laugh. It gave us a small break from the torment of our regular lives. I couldn’t be more grateful for what you gave us.
I relate to this so much.... This place has been such a comforting haven of sorts. : )

Why does this dude not realise that he's literally the childhood of so many people (including me)
And adolescence/adulthood too!!! Been here since ‘07 when I was 12 😁
Because his entire audience now subscribed after his older funny videos
dude he needs to care about himself too. he can't just worry about us. that is not healthy

@@sabrina3029 wait so your telling me you were born in 1995 :o I just did some math xd I'm weird
When Nigahiga was the number 1 TH-camr on TH-cam, that was when TH-cam was at it's best.
2008-2012
TH-cam at that time was just gold.
@@angahlahad indeed especially with ksi too
Rip skits
He still is number 1
This man has caught the old
Ryan says repeatedly that hes wasted so much time but I don't think I would call it wasted. I grew up watching his stuff and loving his content. There wasn't a lot of Asian representation in western media and I am grateful that his channel existed. His videos would take me away from whatever was happening in my life at the time, and I appreciated that, even if it was only for 5-10 minutes of my day. I'm 22 this year and honestly I think that's crazy too, I definitely don't feel old enough but I hope that if Ryan ever reads this he knows that he's influenced a lot of people's lives for the better. He may not have two kids but he undoubtedly made the lives of many better. I think hes definitely matured but its refreshing to see that his essence and sense of humor is the same because to be able to see the world with a childlike wonder is a rare and valuable thing. And it reminds those of us who were fans from 10 years ago of a time that was much simpler, it gives us warm feeling reminiscent of the good parts of childhood.
Yep. It meant he did so much for his fans but felt that he may not be doing anything for his self. A lot of youtubers feel that way.
Hey Guys! It would mean alot if you'd check my edit of Ryan in my channel! Thanks!
Good speech. I read a quarter of it.
Scruffy Even if you read a quarter of it, it will still make cents.
@@sir_trevor0 lol cents
There's something weirdly comforting to me about seeing the different ways different TH-camrs grow out of youtube fame. Ryans a great example of doing it gracefully, so is Julian Smith and a few other greats come to mind.
Ryan is like the old school anime writers. They take a lot of hiatuses but when they come back it's always up to par with what they've done before because they're that good so it's always worth the wait.
DYLAN Ryan Higa is one of the Titans of TH-cam. Goat of creativity!!

Damn he's old
Dear Ryan, for the past decade you've made so many people happy through your videos. Your existence HAS made a significant impact on several lives. Your videos are my happy pill. Even after a decade, your puns never fail to crack me up. You may feel like there has been no growth, but as someone who's been watching since 2007, I can assure you, you've only been improving. I just wanna say Ryan that we love you and will support you regardless of whether you stay the same or decide to change.
PREACH 🙌 Couldn't have said it better myself
His videos make me laugh so hard to the point I cry. Like, he makes me laugh as hard as I laugh with my best friend
same for me to ive been watching since my brother introduced this channel to me i had a hard time adapting to school since i was a korean who have been living in england but ryans videos gave me laughter every time i was depressed so ryan if you see this we all know that you have been improving for the last decades
Wise words
Couldn’t agree more! I learned about TH-cam through your videos way back when I was an innocent kid back in elementary school. I’m in college now. My sense of humor is still very obviously influenced by you, as is much of my personality. I’m so grateful for all the videos you’ve made and everything you’ve done, dude!
And if you do feel like you want to make a genuine impact in another vein, off TH-cam, I’d support you there, too. We all would. You’ve proven that you can remain charismatic and genuine AND put out consistently innovative and high-quality video content for years. You’d be great at whatever you put your mind to.
I swear I feel that Ryan has the most non-toxic fandom ever.
Yes the ratio of likes to dislikes is insane!!!
Joel Viju disliking a video doesn’t make you toxic
Cus we don’t have 8yos

You were my first favorite TH-camr and your videos helped make my childhood so happy. I just turned 29 and I happened to come across this video. It’s weird being in this transition period… Maybe an 80 year old would still think I’m young. Thank you for sharing this. In two dog lifetimes I’ll be telling my kids, “back in my day we had Ryan Higa.” Much love for you always!!! ❤
I think can't believe I've grown up with him. He's literally the Only youtuber I've been with from the start.

Ryan Higa is definitely NOT growing old, if anything TH-cam is growing too old for people like him
Higa is my idol, and I aspire to be like him one day, don't give a heck about the algorithm or about TH-cam, but about true content and comedy
Keep it up, legend

Dear Ryan can you make a horror movie where everyone is actually smart.
I second this, please make this Ryan
You should look those up on TH-cam, some are pretty funny.
it was already made
That movie would last thirty minutes.
That’d be so funny
The fact that Ryan can come back on TH-cam today and his content basically remain the same yet be as potent , relevant and good as ever speaks volume to how much of a legend he is. I'm in a similar boat with Ryan although younger but i have accepted the fact that you never actually figure life out and it's always going to seem like a blur no matter what you do. Because if that's the case for people like Ryan who have , in my eyes, done so much in their life then it's obviously going to be like this for the everyday person just going through life.
I'm old. I'm 60. I curse. It's my third language. English is my first, sarcasm is my second. Keep making us laugh, Ryan! You are flarging amazing!!!!

U God dam right bro. I'm 23 now and remember watching his vids when i was a kid, same sense of humor that still cracks me up.
I am 12 and now i am watching him
Guys, let's all appreciate what Ryan has done for us throughout all these years. We need to understand that his mental health is more important than anything else right now. We must continue to support him in whatever he decides to pursue in the future. Love you Ryan!
Not "mental health" so much as "mental stability," unless there's something I don't know about
MagicMagus14 did I ask
@ruuxi gtfo
Who asked?
MagicMagus14 im with you and all but... chill m8 all what he did was vids.
This comment section is so wholesome :') it's like all ryan's children wishing him well in retirement and telling him he did a good job
Ryan is someone that TH-cam today doesn't deserve. We need to protect him at all costs.

We Also need to protect Chad, howtobasic, and Max because they are the last of their species.

I just turned 29 yesterday and I came back re-watching this video. I am feeling unhappy and having lots of anxieties about getting old, and not getting all the things done in life as I planned when I was young. But... I never really regretted any decisions I made in my 20s so far. I no longer care about how people think of me and I started focusing on myself a lot more. Even though I am still learning to be mature, pursuing my dreams & taking things one step at a time, that's completely okay, and everyone has their own rhythms in life. I will continue to follow my heart to do whatever I want, no regrets.
As a fellow 29 year old i want to slap everyone that says "when i was young" ... the word you are looking for is when i was "younger"
Researching ages... 30 is literally considered "early adulthood" , your body BARELY stops its development with bone density at age 30
You are now in REGULAR adulthood, fully grown, THAT is what freaks us out, no more excuses freaks us out, but we are also YOUNG , There is no "30" as an Old option
lol 45 is midlife according to google and the biological age study, LITERALLY 30 not being young is a Man made concept and made worse by tv and films
bashing our heads with it for years, we all have contracted collective insanity to believe 30 is even close to old, Its closer to your teen years than to being actual old... let that sink in lol just everybody stop haha
I would actually go to the theatre and watch a movie directed by Ryan. No kidding. The fact that the industry hasn't realised the potential of this yet is sad.

bruh. "never done something meaningful in life"? pfft. you literally were my entire childhood. i didnt watch gaming channels, i didnt watch smosh or stuff like that. i only watched you and your friends. i know it was kinda silly but i didnt have internet back then. i would go to a neighbors house to only watch and rewatch your videos for hours. thats all i did. you stayed consistent for years and years and we got what we subscribed for. your subscribers are loyal. youtubers have their subs coming and going and views going down due to irrelevancy. even if you post rarely, we always come back for you. most, if not all youtubers have changed their content because of youtube changing but you're the one who has been the same from day 1. i have watched you since 2008 and i still watch you, every single day. of all the people, you're the most influential person in my life. thank you for that. never let yourself down. you're a legend. and legends never die. teehee, man. you'll always be a part of me.

With Ryan though, I've never really been upset by the breaks he takes from youtube because whenever he does upload it's always quality content and never once does he give us absolutely irrelevant excuses for these breaks either. I adore his humor and have been here for a WHILE. I hope he knows there are people out there who love him and genuinely still support his content!
I know, right? It's one reason why I'm still following, that's for sure
Irrelevant excuses for these breaks? What makes an irrelevant excuse for a break? Maybe he just wants a break. No other reason. Just not feeling it. Does that count as an irrelevant excuse? You're not paying for his content (as far as I'm aware) so any excuse should really be perfectly okay. It is his life, his content. And even if you were paying, as long as you weren't made to continue to pay when there's no content being released, then it's all gravy.
And remembers him for being their childhood
Notice how ryan didnt farm views by posting about his breakup. Hes really one of the last good honest TH-cam left

Nigahiga was the YT channel that I enjoyed and waited for new video every week since 2011.
Then I saw his picture with his gf in facebook. It a coincidence as the person that I followed on Facebook was Malaysian woman who doing business at USA then she shared her family picture having a vacation at Niagara Falls and I saw Ryan Higa in that picture enjoying his time with the family. He looks happy and as a long time fan, it's nice to see him living his life to the fullest.

@@wackybrattyx Oh hey guys, started watching in high school too, and also 26 XD
hi fellow 26 kid
When you think it’s just a basic TH-camr’s sad video. Ryan blows your mind by having several quality skits to explain how he feels. Never change Ryan. You made my childhood
I know right?? Damn, in a sea of boring ass vloggers cashing views on basically zero content Ryan delivers so fucking well. A pleasure to watch, a remnant of good old TH-cam days. Respect.
I agree. If Ryan wasn't on TH-cam, I'd be so bored of it
It's 2024 and Ryan is still teaching me lessons. love you man
it’s crazy to think that Ryan was like my introduction into TH-cam, he was one of the first videos EVER to watch on here and that was when he came out with his FAMOUS how to be gangster, ninja, etc. i was in 6th or 7th grade and now i’m 23 yrs old and he’s still going at it making me laugh because i understand a lot more than i did as a kid. much love to this guy.
💯
Noe Salazar same

Bruh im in 9th grade now, comments like these make me feel so young
Ryan was your current age when I started watching him
Don't apologise for taking care of yourself. You are amazing and should keep practicing self-love. I love your content😁
Ryan you should've responded "thanks Ifechukwu Nwafor very cool"
@@abirdatemytoes4024 😅😂😂😂 doesn't need to
@@ifechukwunwafor2608 I guess I will then
Cool you got a heart
Im almost 25 and grew up watching Ryan. Seeing his 30 y/o character talk him down like that still stung lol even if Ryan always ends his “deep inner monologue” skits with a outta pocket joke, the content is there.
Anyway, I may be younger than you Ryan but I feel it. As a post grad student tryna figure my shit out, I kinda get where you’re coming from and this video actually helped validate feelings of inadequacy with who I thought I’d be at this age. I don’t have an in appropriate joke to rip the tension now so uh, thanks lol
Honestly, your feelings are natural to everyone in your shoes. I just talked to a young buck who was worried about his senior prom from High School being cancelled because of the coronavirus. The way he was whining about it, it seemed like it was the end of the world for him. And he's not even sick. In actuality, when you get to the point where you're at...you're at the actual beginning stages of your adult life mentally. For me, I've been in the military, been to college, been around places in the world, and met a lot of people. I'm at least a decade past what Ryan is about to enter into. All I can tell you is, take your time. Enjoy life. Don't stress too much about things. Take it one day at a time. Whatever you're trying to figure out, don't rush it.
Same bro
Im down om my luck rn ima not watch this till the morning lol
It's 2023 and a memory was unlocked of this guy. GOSH do I miss 2012
Even at 100 years old, we're still your fans. So don't worry about these crises.
Wait is it crisises? Crises??
unfortunately, after seeing this video, I am not his fan anymore, I am his lamp
We're lamps
*lamps
100 years ? That's more than 6 flarg dog's lifes.
"I know I won't be married, I probably won't be done with youtube.... I probably won't do anything signifcant.."
ryan. you made me tear up a bit here homie. real talk, you have a lot of impact, a lot of impact that you don't necessarily see. You may feel numb, TH-cam may feel like a job now, and new milestones don't give that burst of happiness like it used to, but there's something beyond that for your viewers. You've made me happy, in my most emotional periods of my life, and it's something I truly thank you for. I think it's safe to say you've saved countless lives and allowed people to feel and see what joy truly seems like. I just want you to know that people appreciate you, no matter how old you feel, or what anxieties you get and what hardships you have to go through. You're a strong person who is bringing other people up, and it's something that I truly appreciate about you.
Thank you Ryan. I hope you find success in all of your endeavors.
Keep having fun, because fun is happiness and happiness will be your success.
Mucho amor.
LoliKorean hear hear!!!

Ryan: Talks about looking old
Also Ryan: Still looks the exact same as his first video..
@Ghetto Entrepreneur i thought he was 25 wtf..
??? he looks 50
banG168 HAHAHHA
Ghetto Entrepreneur I know right lol
@@banG168 i don't think you've seen someone 50 yrs old.
Ryan was a cornerstone of me and my cousin’s childhood. We’d watch it at our grandma’s house and it was one of the first things we bonded over. He also taught me what ADHD was and made me feel better when I was getting bullied. You can’t put that on a resume and it’s not going down in history as something significant, but it is to me so thank you Ryan
Why does Ryan still look like hes in his early 20s wtf
I feel like I am old (only 5 years more older) by seeing him and his videos
@@NbaYoungboylover ok
You mean what the flarg
that would be asians like us
Asians don’t age until like 45-50
All jokes aside it is scary watching someone for so long and seeing them grow older as you progress through your life as well. I was 14 when i started watching Ryan and now i'm 21 going to university and worrying about money and if ill have a stable job by the time i'm 25. It still feels like i only started watching Ryan a little bit ago but its been almost 7 years. The older i get the faster the time seems to go and i'm sitting here wondering if in another 7 years will anything have changed or will i still be thinking the same things wondering about my future. I've seen Felix (Pewdiepie) turn from a yelling kid who gets scared of horror games to a man who talks and preaches philosophy to his 19 year old fans who actually were once 9. As much as people try to avoid it we are all getting older and all of our favorite TH-camrs will slowly move away from the platform and start pursuing other things, and its pretty scary to watch.
TheHalfSuckedMango i relate so much, started when i was 13ish, I’m 22 now and its so weird to see utubers i grew up watching also grow up? Kinda feels bitter sweet
TheHalfSuckedMango I was 5 when I started watching and now I’m 12
The Bean Life yeah really weird to see it
When I watched pewds i was 13 now i am 19
I was around 14 when i started watching him.....now I'm 26 and worrying about going into my 30s.....
this guy talking about being old is only reminding his whole audience about being old cause we all damn well know we were much younger when we first saw a nigahiga video
dont do this to me bro...
no. i started watching him this year
How to be ninja was the first video. Probably 6 years ago
I was 6 when How to be ninja came out now I’m older then they were it’s crazy
Dude vs Wild was my first video ten years ago. It's been a fun journey since.
this is the first video of yours i watched. i’m too young and i’m sorry i wasn’t a part of that era of youtube because seeing people talk about it makes me feel nostalgic. you seem like a great guy and if i, born within a couple months that youtube was created, if i am here now it means that you left an imprint that’s lasting even past the people you directly affected. i totally look up to you and in 13 years, when i’ll turn 30, i hope to be as wise as you are
Ryan Higa: "I havent done anything meaningful in my life"
* Changes the world with his youtube videos and makes people happy with his videos and is lowkey a role model for young kids *
ikr he is a literal legend. one of top youtubers in history. he used to be the most subscribed channel. like that stuff is recorded and gonna be known until the end of time. how many people can say that? i hope he doesnt really think he needs to save the world or have kids to have achieved something in life
yupppp
Lol for real, if HE hasn't done anything, then what does that say about me?
How to save a comment
Amen to that. I mean I wouldn't have as good of a mood that I do every day if it weren't for channels like his.
I watched Ryan Higa when I was 13 now I’m 21. I have also caught the old. We are all here with you bro.
ohmygod this is so me same here!!
I started watching him when I was 8 and am also 21 now. How to be gangster was my first, lol
8 and now in 19
20 Here, I've been thinking I'm old for the last two or three years.
@@travissorenson9554 I'm 17 and feel old
Ryan to himself: "You're not gonna do anything significant in this world"
Me: Do you have any idea how happy you made my childhood?😂
P
And made my English a little better
Same
True “sad but happy tears”
Fr!
I will forever be waiting for Ryan to return
So this is Ryan's way of letting everyone know that he is going to be a dad soon.
This is exactly what I thought tbh. for a sec I even expected him to just reveal his 2 babies at the end of the video xD
Ryan's pregnant!?
ah yes, he broke up with Arden coz shes his wife now
@@tcccmm you got me scared for a moment
I read this comment before watching the video, so the whole thing I was waiting for the announcement.
ryan's already a dad. he's literally raised 20m kids on yt for the last decade. me and my bro man we've grown with ryan
@@trinitym5552 upto some degree, i agree with you..
@Trinity M It's human nature to have idols. Historically it was typically Religious deities or figures from scripture, but with Religion being on a pretty steady down trend in the modern world people fulfill that innate desire with musicians, entertainers even politicians. Certainly isn't a new phenomenon either, John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, Snoop Dogg, Alexander the Great, etc.
@@Givebackthescarf chill tf out nerd
@Bigheartoneggshells it's not that serious bruh wth...
i was ab to say for a sec
damn whenever ryan has like another version of himself like "inside the mind of ryan higa" its like hes so self aware and its just bruhh
When he said "its just brihh" I felt that
but seriously, Ryan’s been here since the start and the new TH-cam just doesn’t appreciate him at all. He should probably find a new platform that pays him what he deserves and gives him freedom to be the kid he is
100% agree. I used to watch nigahiga all the time back in the day and I'm only just seeing now that he's still creating content. AMAZING content as well
Hey Guys! It would mean alot if you'd check my edit of Ryan in my channel! Thanks!
It would be so good
Ryan need some notif squad I suppose....
Yes he deserves more, but how dare you. Like i don’t want him to leave!!
