If Kevan Brighting says anything, it is automatically part of the Stanly Parable lore as far as I'm concerned.
@@Aur279 I think it’s @KevanTheVoice but I’m not sure
@@Shroomish_Art ok thank youuu
So Stanely's full name is actuallly Stanely Fat Bastard?
So what if jack was employee 432
He was in doctor who once ...
1:09 “to show that he was in control, Jack jumped off the building, plummeting to his death. Good job Jack, we think you are very powerful”
This comment is perfect as is and there is nothing that i can reply to make it any better but i will anyways so your silly little number goes up
@@titosdoritos EJ was very excited to hear that, he loved seeing his silly number go up. Even though EJ knew it didn’t mean anything, EJ was excited anyway.

3:54 gives the same vibes..
It's weird how Kevan manages to be so irritatingly condescending and also so very creepy whilst using the exact same tone of voice.
22 Ducks And Half A Sandwich I find it fascinating, like a psychopath slowly carving away as his victims are painfully aware.
I miss GLaDOS

Let people believe what they want to believe.
22 Ducks And Half A Sandwich and charming and friendly too. he's perfect
It really shines in the Explosion Ending too, he quite literally goes all-out in his less than condescending and more disrespectful tone, really goes to show how well-suited for this role he was
Stanley: Neutral Good
Jack: Chaotic Neutral
The Narrator: Lawful Evil
You: Shut the fuck up
@@mr.correct8475 your a prick
@@kieronirwin1668 oh shit What did I just walk into.
*yes*
Me: *thinking fireaxe*

@@mr.correct8475 | Woah. Were you having a bad day or something?
"That will ruin our family friendly story" 10 seconds later "well that was sh$t wasn't it?"
oml lmao
Brains exploding out of a head is a little bit more family unfriendly than saying "shit", don't you think?
Plot twist: that wasn't really planned
*NEU NEU NEU NEU*
The fact Jack is always starring at an empty void is genius. The game had Stanley pressing buttons for no real reason like a video game player would while Jack watches nothing for no real reason.
That was deep.
jack too have a choice different from stanley how either is controlled by the player or the narrator
Holy shit I never noticed it but now that you pointed it out its written so well.
@@MarcosAlexandre-no3qx wasnt jack controlled by the script and the narrator
So, in essence, we are Jack, watching this pointless video because the Narrator is in charge, just like we are also Stanley, pushing buttons and playing a pointless game. But it's so hard to resist Kevan Brighting! One can't help but fall captive to his magical narrative skills! 😂
Kevan Brighting is a really good sport for doing all these voice overs for Stanley Parable-inspired works, fan films or otherwise.
kilimenjiro Yeah, I know! Most voice actors don't do that type of thing
That’s so cool of him
fan films,animations,even player made endings,he's a legend!
His voice of PAIN =)
it's a good thing too, they wouldn't feel right without him
1:47 I love that the Narrator resorts to the old storytelling technique of having a guy with a gun burst in when he gets writer’s block.
if Stanley was put into the situation of being held at gunpoint then he'd be:
1. terrified
2. "holy shit another person"
6:05 I love how they throw the stapler instead of firing LMAO, awesome film!
Well, it's not like "firing" a small metal clip at someone is more effective than throwing a stapler
youre actually in every comment section im convinced
Can you shut up..
"Oh, no Jack. You think you have a choice? HAHAHAHA YOU ARE MINE" Oh my God that was amazing. Exactly the right voice for a villian.
*villain
Kevan sure does a mean narrator voice.
i have replayed that line so. many. times now and it's still not old
Richard Doyle.....the voice of Moebius the Timestreamer said similar things to Raziel in The Legacy of Kain series

And then the commenter pressed the Like button.
And the commenter was happy.
This is the closest thing to a Stanely Parable adaptation and you know what? I applaud this for retaining the themes of the original game while in a cinematic perspective
All the resets
@oldsight5647 3 years ago, but I think I meant it like especially the resets
OH! DID U GET THE BROOM CLOSET ENDING? THEB ROOM CLOSET ENDING WAS MY FAVORITE!1 XD
I found this concierning
Tyler Heineman and boring.
The broom closet ending was my favorite too! :D
FoxPhantom21 me too!
lol
honestly id like to think that jacks story happened like AGESSS before stanley's did, as if jack was some type of test run or like a writer's beginning y'know. but thats just personally.
that would explain why the narrator was so much more plain in telling jack the reality of his situation
"Family-friendly story"
**says shit**
Get lost loser
thanks for the warning im gonna wear headsets cuz y know
AllahuAkbarSuicideBomberMakeMeHAppuHabibi420BlazeI look at that username, imagine logging in.
"As Stanley walked down the hallway, he saw, on the other side of a window, a man, slowly moving down the hallway at him. This strange man was holding a stapler, and looked as if he was to shoot it."
"Did Stanley know this man?"
"No, he had never seen him."
"Oh- Stanley, look away!"
can’t wait for the exclusive Jack: Ultra Deluxe
Or Jack: Revenge of the Jim.
Featuring the Reassurance Bucket
I like how this adapts the entire “The player is doing exactly what Stanley is doing” thing, with jack constantly staring into nothing.
"Are you aware who's in control here? I'll give you a hint..."
"It's not you."
I actually drew a character based on the narrator, except female and way more evil. And also (kind of?) a pyromaniac? That line was hers. Any name suggestions?
Decided to call her Dahlia. She's on my channel. I still haven't written her story bc I'm a procrastinator.
I think that Jack needs to role play as someone named Jim.
Hearing him swear is like hearing morgan freeman swear. You need to replay it several times to believe your ears
I swear that Kevan Brighting has an insanely amazing voice.
Irreplaceable. Pure. Indescribable.
(Best voice I've ever heard in my entire life.)
It’s so good! I love how he pronounces things.
Always reminded me of Stephen Fry, to be honest.
PS - how has this been on TH-cam for four years, and my algorithm only picked up on it today?!
@@leefisher6366 You make a good point.
I love Stephen Fry too so it makes it even better
Guys, also check out David Graham then (intro narration & Wise Old Elf from Ben & Holly): same kind of warm, delicious Brittish bariton. These voices are world heritage stuff...
Jack: The more vicious version of Stanley
I like to think Jack is one of Stanley’s co-workers.

Duncan Schaafsma I found that surprisingly funny, the build up and then the crappy outcome
This is a family-friendly story
Wait....really? I watched this when it was first uploaded and was expecting it to explode. Come back and find it's still under 2k views?
Hold on, must go and share this everywhere I can think of.
I loved it!
yeah, same. wtf IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE
OverEnglishMan Nice to see you supporting a fellow English speaker.
It is nominated for best fan creation of the year on IGN's gaming awards. :)

Kkk
I really love the Narrator VA,he's very involved with the community,he participates in player made endings,fan animations and now a live action?good on him!
If I can get a good audioplay written, and he agrees to be in on it....! Almost the complete collection XD
Since... Book would have nothing if it's not audiobook XD
@@Roadent1241 Well the new Deluxe Edition just dropped so he's back in the swing of things to an extent, this is your chance.
@@THExRISER Eyyy. Once I get the script written, I've never planned one but I have always wanted to try an audio CYOA.
@@Roadent1241 That sounds fun, good luck, I hope you go through with it!
@@THExRISER Thank you!
I think I have an idea, I just need to map it out. I've no idea how one officially scripts a CYOA XD
Kevan Brighting saying "That was shit...", was the highlight of my week.
*DUN*!
"Well that was shit, wasn't it?"
Summation of every god awful horror film right there.
tru
The guy actually kinda looks like Stanley, and the 'story' fits the game perfectly
Lol, Stanley was just created from this guy, didnt you think about it?
(Read this with The Narator's voice)
Stanley watched this short movie, with an impression of Déjà-Vu. He was pretty sure he already saw this somewhere else, but he couldn't tell where.
I've heard him say enough things that my brain knows exactly where to pause, what inflections to use, and where the emphasis goes. Truly an easy statement to read in his voice.
@@spark_two also that there would be an added 'quite' between couldnt and tell
Stanley decided to pause. He was evidently unimpressed by the film on its own, electing instead to scroll through the comments. Really, Stanley? Have you no appreciation for art? Is this your life now? I'm disappointed.
05:31 It's cool that they implemented the easter egg with an NPC that looks just like Stanley
No, no, no, viewer, you simply don't understand. Did you like the video? Yes, well, of course you did, so you clicked the thumbs up. Did you not like the video? Why, then, click the little down thumb. You have made a choice, viewer...or, wait, have you? Are you sure that it was your choice? Why, your life has been informed by all the little snippets of information you have consumed and gleaned, most of which were entirely out of your control, but no...no, you say, not my likes and dislikes, why those are MY personal tastes, my preferences, my...DESIRES...but don't you see? You were born a clean sheet of paper, scribbled on by time, and it has left you scarred and horribly blackened, and there is still room on the page...yes, and the next ink drop leads you to THIS very moment, THIS moment that you click or don't click a little thumb, and a new hashmark is made. Keep it up, viewer, you'll get to the end soon enough.
Totally nailed it XD
nice one
"But what if i ignore it?"
"What if i dont click ether?"
"what if i just carry on?"
"will i just get away with it? will the narrator attempt to turn me back on course?"
"oh wait.. its my choice.."
Adam Rosenberg, but the end is never the end.
I read that in Kevan's voice.
4:38 Oh, I get it, Jack literally broke the fourth wall. Haha very funny.
i mean thats literally what the 4th wall means
I like how Jack tries to strangle the narrator on camera though.
Seeing multiple "Stanleys" goes exactly with my headcanon about Stanley being a vessel for the players to inhabit.
Just hearing the Narrator swearing at around 3:40 is honestly the best thing to me.
"The bullet flew through the air, shattering Jack's skull? What? No no no no no NO!" Priceless!!
5:45
Timer shows 1:30

It shows 1:50
Does the video length having two 8s in it also have to do with the Stanley Parable?
@@lilacdragon44 i see you understand the 8 joke in the stanley parable
2:30 love how the door just automatically closes
Kevan Brighting´s "No..." is just the best!

hi
Thank you! Seriously, thank you for all the support. To anyone who hit like, to anyone who commented, to anyone that simply took the time to watch, you spur us on to keep creating! We are reading through all the responses and are simply humbled by your kind words. We wanted to do a little more to get this out there, so we are entering this film into festivals and have created a poster for it!

Vesio Productions Amazing word. Amazing job. Amazing video.
Are you guys actually involved with the creators of The Stanley Parable? Or is this just that amazing?
THis was awesome.. And like at the like ratio on your comment... Man die hard fans here of this good content.. me too.. Another like from me.
How do you have less then 1K!
You should enter it into the Cleveland International Film Festival next year
This is criminally underviewed.
this goddamn narrator breaks every (4th) wall he touches! sigh....
I am ready for the sequel titled "Jim".
I absolutely love this video. It somehow captured the intelligence and wit of the Stanley Parable without incorporating any of the story of it. It is so interesting how the story shifts from being comedic to almost creepy in an existential sense at the end.
This place has shoes! I love shoes!
Oh. My. God

Hide inside the broom closet Jack!
4 years and this video didn’t even break 200,000 views yet. Underrated as hell.
well, looks like Ultra Deluxe boosted the video a little bit
Wow. I only got recommended this a few days ago, so I thought for sure it was a result of Ultra Deluxe. Didn't realize it was so old until your comment.
really good stuff, very well made.
It's a film version of Stanley's Parable!
hey do I know you?
Darth Dio nope, this is the jack parable.

666 likes don't ruin it
Kevan could literally narrate an entire movie, it'd be perfect!
Aside from that, this was a really well done production, the camerawork, lighting, sets and sound design were all high quality, plus Tristan did a great job.
Also, I love the detail of the door closing behind him at 2:29, just like in the game.
Dunno if that was intentional or just how the door worked, but it's a detail regardless.
I could listen to Kevan Brighting talk all day.
SAME
5:30 is terrifying.....I love it. CHILLS.
As soon as I heard Kevan's voice, I instantly love it.
*THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS LOADING THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER THE END IS NEVER*
Mr. Brighting is absolutely incredible at this super specific type of performance, and I'm DELIGHTED that so much of his work consists of exactly this
2:30 door closed behind him just like in the game.
"Well that was shit-"
I"M DEAD DUDE
"No no no! This is not family friendly!"
TH-cam in a shellnut
“And I tried again” this is what happened to Jack during this whole thing. What would have made it better if the character was named Jim. Then we would finally know who the button was for.
5:29 Narrator's evil voice kinda... 😳
5:45 - I knew it! That clock was counting down to something, it's counting down to the reset! It occurs exactly 1 minute and 50 seconds later!
I do not like I drank a sip out of my cup the exact time the narrator said "Jack took a sip"
This is a comment about a man named Jack.
This is a reply about a man named Jack.
@@zombiederpster This is a reply to a reply to a comment about a man named Jack.
Imagine a second Stanley parable,that would be amazing
that would be kind of beside the point
I'm from the future: The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is almost here!
I'm from the future future! It's here!!!!
no jacks were hurt during making of this video
narrator: Family Friendly
Later Narrator: Well that was shit
Kevan is based af with all his collabs.
"and jack was happy... oh wait im sorry give me a moment what was the story here" my favourite part
I also enjoy staring into the void as my pastime.
Video Game movie curse isnt real, this proves that you can in fact make a good film and follow the themes of the game just fine.
I really loved this short film. Absolutely amazing. It would be interesting if this was like Narrator's backstory in a way. Ultra Deluxe came out and at one point he was considering of retiring Stanley, whether that would be killing him or just, retiring him. He mentioned that he used to make decisions, he was passionate in his works. He then said he became lazy, and made Stanley to think for him. He then thought he was just lonely, and just needed a companion. What if he truly quit making decisions because he ended up becoming a fucking villain and was arrogant. Maybe he wanted to try something similar to this, but less "enslaving an innocent worker".
Yeah, it's dumb as hell. However it could work in SOME way.
Before this video I had put a lot of thought into whether the stanley parable could be a film, I decided back then that it was impossible to do well. I must say that this has proved me wrong.
Kevan Brighting... i love you.
Can't wait for the sequel where it's about Jim.
God I love the narrators voice AAYUFGHJKSD
I like to imagine that everyone is narrated by "The Narrator."
Okay Monika.
Are you?
Kevan saying "shit" has made my day 100000x better
Thank you TH-cam for recommending me this video
MY NAME HE SAID MY NAME
How does this only have 4k views? And where did the production value and editing skills come from? I'm actually surprised to see this channel not have at least 100k subs or something.
It has 331k views today
Hopefully this one finally gets recognition now that there's a sequel to the Stanley Parable.
This could be a mod for The Stanley Parable
This short is reminds me of a rare easter egg in TSP, where there's an unknown employee (or other Stanley), walking in a hidden alley behind an employee's room..
Wait wha? How do you get this-
@@Artsqool I never recorded it, because I thought it's just a bug. But apparently, it was a (very) rare easter egg. You can search some videos about it with the keywords "TSP another Stanley". There was also someone who explained up close (with a special cheat, I think), that it was another Stanley's model, but it's not playable nor able to interact with.
(Sorry, my grammar is bad..)
I feel like there is different timelines for each jack like the jack that fell out of the building did fall out and the jack that got shot did get shot. There is also the one that jumps out and the narrator says "thats not possible Jack was happy" and of course the narrator says "you always do this it's selfish" hinting that this all happened before foreshadowing the end amazing video with great spacing I look forward to seeing this channel grow
When I saw the thumbnail I thought the guy was Stanley
He is the main guy after all
Kevan Brighting, the man behind the madness
3:38 "Well that was shit, wasn't it?" Lol I did not expect that.
Jack was looking at a picture on the wall looking for meaning where there was none.
Wait a second...
Nope. Still can't see it
The end is never the end, indeed. Great work!
my TSP brainrot brought me here, how did i not know this existed omg
"Oh Jack, you brought this on yourself.
*The gunman advanced."*
Kevan is brilliant
Great to hear that voice again!
I honestly died at "...well, that was shit."
“What is the story here? Um... ah yes! I know.”
*GUNSHOT*
*“Go on: run.”*

I want him. IDC IF HES JUST A VOICE. I WANT HIM!!!!
