As a Scottish person, the story about Rhett's family coming here and decking themselves out in cultural wear only to find out their very Irish surname is historically Irish is the most American thing I've heard in a while lmao
I've always thought his name was Irish, but to be fair that's not because I know a lot about the UK, but moreso because I know nothing and Jacksepticeye's last name is the same (or at least very similar)
@@princiedv yeah I've always assumed it was Irish as well because I've obviously got a bit more experience with the whole Scottish vs Irish thing haha, I just find it funny that a quick Google probably would have told them
This is the most perfect explanation as to why I find so much safety in Rhett and his interactions. Like, I love Link but Rhett is the closest I've gotten to almost being parasocial 😭
Im gen z, not gen alpha, but i think the reason skibidi toilet has so much appeal is because it feels like an inside joke. Like how sometimes you have jokes with your friends that you could never explain to other people (the context/joke itself but also just why its funny), and this feels like that but its more like a whole generation's inside joke. I have a little bit of faith in these kids, that they dont sit down to watch these videos and go "hm yes that was excellent entertainment". Its that it's fun to send stupid things to your friends, its fun to say "skibidi" in front of your teacher/parents when they have no clue what it means, and it's fun to follow the ridiculous lore now. It's not that their humor is that different from ours, its that we all kinda forgot how dumb we were when we were 13.
I agree with this, it reminds me of when I was on the younger end of high school and saw shrek is love, shrek is life for the first time. Or salad fingers. Both were kind of a right of passage, once you’ve seen it you’re in on the joke or you’re kind of cooler for knowing about it. There’s been weird shit for every age.
@@julesmadison1199 exactly!! What i had in mind was "Llamas with Hats" kind of stuff. Or Charlie the Unicorn. I watched that stuff as a kid too. It was kinda gross, stupid, funny at the time... all the things gen alpha probably sees in skibidi toilet
I'm gen Z borderline gen A and have younger gen A cousin, and y'all are spot on and i love that you're so understanding about it. every generation has their unique portion of inside jokes and absurd, kind of meaningless, and immature humor. each generation's portion is just spoken in a different language :)
8:16 i was raised mormon, mainly due to my dad, and my maternal grandmother always told my mom that after she dies, she better not “make her a mormon”. when she did pass, my dad pressured her to do a baptism for the dead for her (and a temple sealing with her ex husband, to make matters worse) and she caved. on the way home from the temple, my mom got VIOLENTLY ill and they had to pull over. it could’ve just been from nerves and guilt, but my mom was always convinced that she was being punished by her mom for going against her wishes. she always regretted it.
@@emanthekind2140it was extremely messed up! it wasn’t his decision to make. they eventually divorced and we all left the church, he was the only one of us who was ever truly invested in it
I once went into this metaphysical store and there was a warning about stealing. i don't think it was the regular "you're being recorded, theft is punishable blah blah" but more of a casual sign that said something unique about being punished for stealing I remember seeing it and not thinking about it much and I pocketed a pentacle necklace "for protection" as I was just really starting my craft at 13 and was living in an abusive household. within 30 seconds I felt unbelievably nauseous and I'll and decided to go outside to get some fresh air. I git outside and walked up to the car door, car parked directly in front of the shopdoor & up against the sidewalk, and before I could even grab the handle I began vomiting profusely. so much vomit. i had just eaten McDonald's, and I threw up an unbelievable amount of strawberry shake, fries, and chicken nuggets. it was absolutely _more than I even ate,_ as when we got home I _continued to vomit for another half hour into the tub._ that day I learned that magic is _absoluely real._ whatever curse befell me seemed to continue on for _years_ as i went through literal hell, manipulated into sort of causing the events that led to my own unwarranted and false imprisonment for 3 years, homelessness/couch surfing several months after the imprisonment, isolation and bullying during it, multiple assaults of different kinds, and an abusive relationship, all before I found the pendant, took it to the river (fire hadn't worked), prayed deeply to be forgiven and washed of my transgressions by the universe and my gods, and gave the pendant to the river to be cleansed. afterwards, shit seriously settled down quite a bit. not sure if the hell I experienced was linked to the pendant as I don't know why a 13 year old would be punished so severely but it certainly feels like it was.
I totally agree that it is super messed up that your dad did that, however, according to Mormon religion a person can refuse those “works” that people do on this side of the veil. That doesn’t excuse what your dad did at all but hopefully it gives you some piece of mind
rhett and link feel like such dads of youtube i feel like they r so empathetic to youtubers but have a great insight into how to run a buisiness or be professional and what not. they are so nice and caring when they r on podcasts its always so nice to listen to either of them
i agree with this so so much they have such a comforting constant presence on youtube. theyve been here for so long and r known by everyone but theyre both such genuine caring communicative open thoughtful wise people (all of those adjectives). especially listening to how and what they talk about on their own podcast, and also knowing what they did with anthony and ian buying smosh back? they are so dad
I teach elementary age children and Skibidi Toilet is such a core point of community for them, they draw Skibidi's they discuss the episodes and make theories, its fun to watch
Man I'm 25 and I watch Skibidi but I swear there's so much to be said in terms of media analysis about this. I was watching way dumber stuff when I was 10. This show may seem ridiculous to yall right now, but it has actual production, sound design, great music choices, and so many references to actually great pieces of media that kids will be exposed to. I also disagree that "there's nothing to hold onto" about the show. This guy is clearly very good at creating suspense, introducing characters and making the audience invested. It's pretty much a meta sorta joke. The thing is making fun of itself. I can go on a whole rant about it, honestly.
@@melikatalks7676 That's very true! We're kind of witnessing people in our generation turn into our parents already by hating on what the kids are into
Omg goofballs 😂♥️ I love that. Look at them, already influencing the world around them with that unabashed childlike wonder and absurdity. The kids are alright!
jarvis saying you can have a hobby that doesnt turn a profit is really relieving to hear. Im a pre-med bio major in uni and a visual artist on the side. Things in the STEM world are very career driven and i carry that over into my art very frequently when i dont need to. Its really nice to be reminded that i can just make art to enjoy it, it doesnt have to be something im working towards as a career.
i’m proud of you stranger as someone who lost motivation during covid and gave up on my premed dreams, you got this and don’t forget to make time for yourself and your art! that’s the most important thing
I went into studying visual arts after high school cause I wanted to make it my career, and I was miserable. It took me a very long time to get comfortable with my art and the fact that I do it for me and not for profit, or an audience. Took me ten years to go back to watercolours actually haha So kudos to you, it is a very liberating realisation! :))
Minor semantic correction at 1:06:40- Valve didn’t create Garry’s mod (a guy named Garry did, intuitively), they just created the engine it’s based on. Just for anyone who’s interested lol
Minor semantic correction of this semantic correction, when G-Mod was made into a standalone game in 2006 it was funded and published by valve but still mostly coded by Gary and his very very small team.
Skibidi toilet confirms that generation alpha enjoys shortform narrative portrait videos. Man, Quibi really was created too early and made shows for the wrong crowd.
Yeah idk why Rhett is talking about his 15 year old because they're a bit old to be watching this. Skibidi toilet is being watched by the same kids who watched or currently watch cocomelon. That's why it has so many veiws.
@@christopherminutolo9384 nah, it's just kids content. I have no idea what a "phanum tax" is but it's in that one parody song (that I've literally heard been called the gen alpha theme song)
I always wonder who decides to name generations because alpha is so fcking stupid. We're naming generations like hurricanes now? We ran out of letters now we're just gonna do the greek alphabet?
Its fascinating how seperate different segments of the internet were even back in 2006. I assumed that Rhett would have known about Gmod because of how prevalent it was on early youtube. It never occurred to me that he wouldnt recognize the animation style and the beats of the gmod animation genre. The internet really is a big place, and it makes me wonder what I "missed"
this is thw first time i've ever heard this exact sentiment spelled out! i always wonder if there are these bigger pockets of the internet golden age that i "missed out" on. the only thing i can compare it to is growing up listening to emo music and discovering pop songs that were big when i was a pre-teen later in life.
I hate skibidi toilet with my whole heart, but I can't really be mad at the children watching it because I used to watch absurd youtube videos at the age of 10-14 😭
I spend an unhealthy amount of time on TH-cam, but I've completely missed this Skibidi Toilet thing. I did watch a complete process of mummifying a hen just to find out what a mummy tastes like the other day. It is one of the amazing things about this platform that both can exist at the same time.
39:28 people DEFINITELY tell people who crochet that they should sell their creations haha. Nowadays anyone who does anything creative is urged by the people around them to make money doing it
There’s a drag queen named Flamy Grant (named after Christian pop singer Amy Grant) who’s a former worship leader. She makes progressive Christian country/rock music, and she recently topped the iTunes contemporary Christian charts which really peed off a lot of conservative Christians and televangelists. She was also put forward for Grammy consideration, but they moved her from the Christian music category to the pop category because there’s a song on her album that includes the word “cock”, and apparently that automatically disqualified her from the Christian category (the song itself was about sexism in the church, and I can’t remember the exact lyric but it was something along the lines of “I didn’t know having a cock was a prerequisite to being a church leader”). I’d love for Rhett to duet with her after hearing him talk about his deconstruction and his music!
I thought this was gonna be "Rhett watches a weird video series and talks about it," but man, this is so much more. This definitely intrigues me to check out more of Sad Boyz! The quality of content and ability to have an intellectual conversation about literally anything is really impressive and comforting to watch. Great stuff, guys!!
I literally listen to you guys while drawing on my iPad all the time. It’s like comforting background noise that isn’t super distracting and helps me focus in on the art really well. Love these super long episodes for that.
Jordan talking about feeling like nothing you do or are counts unless it's seen is exactly why I stopped performing slam poetry after doing it since I was thirteen.
The Social Network was filmed at my college lol. So all the exterior shots of "Harvard" are actually Hopkins, but then the interiors were all studio sets, so it was them walking into like the chemistry building and it's somehow a dorm and things like that. So weird to watch. Also when I was applying to colleges my choices came down to Carnegie Mellon and Hopkins. I said no to Carnegie Mellon, and it was definitely the best decision I ever made.
32:36 Rhett your deconstruction series was an important catalyst for me to finally open up to the idea of leaving my faith behind. It had been percolating for a long time, but seeing two people I respect be open and honest about their decision made it so much easier to be open and honest with myself. Thank you and Link both.
What I loved most was the contrast of their two decisions. Rhett was so factual (history shows these stories to be false). Link was so emotional (how can you tell me to hate my friend/business partner). Two entirely different ways of arriving at the same conclusion.
the thing is, so many people shit on skibidi toilet, but its literrally an SFM animation, which is what most of us zoomers and millennials were watching in the 2010s
I'm in my early 30s and this video is how I learned about Skibiddi Toilet. I joked about Skibiddi Toilet at work the other day, and one of my clients told me she stopped letting her son (now 3 years old) watch Skibiddi Toilet videos because she worried it was impeding his potty training/scaring him, but that was a false alarm. What a time to be alive
I feel like Skibidi Toilet is just exactly what a majority of middle schoolers find funny, which is why it is popular. From my experience, a lot of their humor is randomness for the sake of randomness. The thought process that “I don’t get this, I’m getting out of touch” is simply because people don’t regularly interact with kids age 10-13, the target audience. Middle schoolers like stuff because they like stuff, there isn’t that much more to it. That’s not bad, it’s not good, it’s just how people work.
@@strayiggytv It’s flashing fast video, only a minute per “episode”, easy repeatable song, violence and toilet humour. A goldmine for 6-12 year olds lmao they’re definitely the demographic
I feel like skibidi toilet is fully in line with what SFM animation/music videos have been doing for years with creators like an0nymoose and Eltorro64. I also think the evolution of skibidi toilet is not that surprising, dark subversions of funny/cute material is rampant on youtube as well (mickey mouse/goofy in the vietnam war, existential crisis ronald mcdonald). And the source assets also lend themselves well to creating a dystopian warzone. But these tropes reaching such a big audience is definitely new.
I live in Charleston where they film The Righteous Gemstones, and it is thrilling to see well-known locations like our local bookstore (which closed months after the episode aired, rip), the At Home parking lot, and the McDonalds I go to only when I don’t feel like driving to the better one. I imagine that’s what it feels like to live in Hollywood or New York.
I felt called out twice during this: once when you mentioned not turning crocheting into a business (I was crocheting throughout this entire video) and then at the end with the comfort-watching/multi-tasking discussion lol
As someone whose mom is Scottish and can trace my lineage on her side all the way to Vikings (possibly via Ireland?) who settled in Scotland a veeeeeeeeeery long time ago, I find Rhett’s Scotland/Ireland lineage mixup so funny. It’s very easy to do, and neither one usually minds being confused for the other. However! If you think it’s Scotland or Ireland, and it turns out to be England? You’re getting hell for it 😂 Helpful tip: Mac- is usually Scottish, and Mc- is usually Irish ❤️
I, as a 16 yo, just want to say that we are not the ones genuinely enjoying skibidi toilet. Ive actually only seen it described as "weird gen alpha shit that we're too old too understand"
I worked at my ymca’s summer camp this year and one of the kids spent a collective 4 hours over the span of two weeks on painstakingly describing all of the lore of skibidi toilets to me. The entire series is like an hour long. I could not tell him i didn’t want to hear about it or he very likely would have had a full blown violent meltdown. There was no escape. It was torture
@annalisa9755 Oh gosh, I feel your pain :D I once had my seven yr old niece spend over two hours, explaining (I think) the plot of one of those puppy “paw patrol” movies and no lie, at least 10 times she stopped and had to go right back to the beginning to clarify some mind-numbing minor point in the plot! This was all while she was sitting on my lap kind of flopped over staring off into the distance while she talked having a lovely time and I didn’t have the heart to stop her 🧸 Love her like chocolate ❤ but I did come to understand the emotional and mental state of an animal that would chew its own leg off to get out of a trap!
"No one is going to know this movie, the internship" Jarvis that is like me and my husbands most favorite movie to watch together. I love that movie. Interesting to hear the insight on the cali vs georgia locations.
“no one needs to turn this crochet thing into a business” me, working on a crochet project where every time someone new sees me crocheting tells me i should sell my work… no pls no
I just started this episode but I wonder if they mention the fact that Rhett has basically the same last name as very Irish Jacksepticeye, which might help track the origin of the name
The way Benedict Cumberbatch looks medically British, Rhett looks medically Irish American--he doesn't look Scottish. It took me a couple trips out there to get it. Yes: a common ancestry. No: not the same. It's wild.
I resonate so much with Rhett's deconstruction and I'm so happy that there were moments of talking about that in the middle of other conversations. I'm another one of those who watched GMM as a kid and I'm so excited to see what's next on the R&L channel :D
really loving the concept of “showing rhett and link the part of the internet that they don’t understand” thing going with them as guests, would love to see them on again!
Used to watch GMM. They made a video on ASMR which was my very first introduction to it, sparking my curiosity into what would later be my main artistic outlet. Very appreciative for them!!
I relate so much to the "I'm really here" feeling, I'm a long haul truck driver and constantly get those feelings whenever I drive through a part of the country I haven't been before but have seen in movies or TV or heard a song about.
The James and the Shame taking away from GMM/parasocial relationship/not turning a profit related to a hobby part of this chat was so true, I wish more people thought the way they discuss it here
i ABSOLUTELY LOVE the internship my dad showed it to me when i was little (skipped the inappropriate scenes). I’ve also lived in the bay my whole life!
39:30 idk why but i was so shocked when he mentioned crocheting. like that’s a widely known thing but i’m crocheting while watching this and it surprised me.
The sad boyz was my moms favorite podcast before she died 6 years ago. Listening to them always makes me smile and remeber the times i spent with my mom, i know shes smiling in heaven with me ❤ ty
bestie Jarvis people do get onto crocheters about turning their crochet into a business it feels like we as people aren’t allowed to have hobbies anymore everything must be monetised
I love that jordan watched blackadder growing up. Im american but i watched a lot of british tv growing up. I knew rowan adkinson from blackadder, not mr bean. I remember absolutely blowing my college roommates mind showing her that show, she couldnt wrap her head around the fact that he is not american - which is funny to me bc he is also clinically english in my mind
I can’t believe you are talking about skibidi. At first, I thought it was “skippity” because I found out about this from a girl in the 2nd grade who promptly told me the whole skibidi lore during a 30 minute recess and drew me a picture of it with a knife. Children are our future. Another great sad podcast
As a person who loves to crochet. Yes, people do tell me that i need to turn it into a business and start to sell the stuff I make as a side hustle. But, they can't comprehend that I don't want to make a hobby a job. I feel like it's the overall hustle culture that has been so ingrained into our society
i deeply have loved the interview since i was young it’s so enjoyable for you to make that connection like i wanted to know anything more about the details of it and shooting thank you jarvis
(around 6:25) a few years ago my grandparents did an ancestors test. my grandpa (around 80 years old at the time) found out that his father was not his biological father, but instead an Italian man was (test said he was about 40% Italian. which was a real shocker.) this made sense in hind sight because our last name is slavic, so my great grandfather had to have pretty prevalent slavic ancestry, but my grandfather always has looked very Italian (dark skin, especially when he is tan he turns like brown, dark hair, big nose, etc.) and he never knew why: especially because neither side of the family had prevelent Italian ancestry. my dad also was told he looked Italian (looks similar to my grandfather but less intense.) so, my 80 year old grandfather found out the man who he thought was his biological dad, was not, and he couldn’t ask about it because everyone he would ask had died (recently my great aunt had died and she probably knew something about it.) that was a whole thing and i feel bad because he didn’t find out till he was 80 and there was no one left to ask. it’s just insane. this part is more about me but, as i said, my last name is slavic. but, it belonged to my great grandfather whom i am not biologically related to, so i have a cool slavic last name, but i don’t really have ancestral ties with it, which is interesting
i think you guys aren’t realizing that the people genuinely enjoying skibidi toilet aren’t 15, they’re like 5. it’s generation alpha. its caused a lot of discussion about where that generation is going.
I don't care about Skibidi Toilet & never utilized G-Mod myself in the prime of its life, but I'm glad to see that it's still such an accessible creative outlet & source of absurd humor for kids. I can't judge, I loved Machinima & mans1ay3r vids as a middle-schooler, & I still really enjoy TF2 SFM stuff.
I went to Stanford from 1993-1998. I saw The Social Network when a neighbor in an airplane was watching it. It took three seconds of viewing to pick it apart as being nothing like the Stanford experience. Just the little things.
I saw Dafuq?Boom comment on one of my favorite Gorillaz song, "Desole" Ft. Fatoumata Diarwa, and this jas honestly changed my mind on exactly who we're dealing with.
I loved the talk about shifting ways of understanding the places we are now. I am from a suburb outside of Chicago in Illinois, and when I was young I always got so excited when we would go to Chicago for any event. Like, we are going to The City! When I saw the skyline I'd get so pumped. Now I am grown up, I went to college in Chicago and I now live in the city in an apartment with my boyfriend. Just recently I was driving near the loop, looking at the skyline glittering in the sun, and I teared up. I was just thinking about how cool it is that I get to live and work in this city that I love! It seems simple but it's something I am so proud of and I feel so lucky everyday. Thank you for this scintillating conversation 🙌
I love this episode so much because I grew up watching GMM since middle school and I intend to pass it on to my child who’s due in January because it’s something enjoyable, they have good practices, and they’re entertaining overall. I think they’ve progressed well over time too; as they’ve grown so have I and considering they have children of their own they know how to keep younger audiences attention even if they’ve grown over the years. It is kind of surreal how the internet has this kind of impact on media but I generally don’t like TV or dramas or mainstream media as much as YT and the fact that it can be so diverse is something I like, I just don’t like the drama aspect and controversies but I generally don’t like creators who end up getting into drama to begin with so I wouldn’t be ashamed to pass the things I’m interested in down to my next generation.
Congratulations on your expected baby, I have one due in Jan as well! My 3yo loves GMM and Rhett and Link, it's been so nice to carry on my morning routine with her
@@skedaddlebakerthat’s so cute. I used to make my newborn niece watch gmm with me when I lived with my sister. Also the heybear sensory videos, and sometimes miraculous ladybug. She would start laughing like crazy. It’s so cute to be able to share little interests with babies even if they don’t fully understand yet but it’s good for stimulating them. Congrats on the newborn that’s gonna be so cute having the both of them together♥️

Im gen z, not gen alpha, but i think the reason skibidi toilet has so much appeal is because it feels like an inside joke.

Right? Like I grew up on early smosh, which is just like fucked up five different ways.
And salad fingers??? Dude holy shit
8:16 i was raised mormon, mainly due to my dad, and my maternal grandmother always told my mom that after she dies, she better not “make her a mormon”. when she did pass, my dad pressured her to do a baptism for the dead for her (and a temple sealing with her ex husband, to make matters worse) and she caved. on the way home from the temple, my mom got VIOLENTLY ill and they had to pull over. it could’ve just been from nerves and guilt, but my mom was always convinced that she was being punished by her mom for going against her wishes. she always regretted it.
That's more than kind of messed up that your dad pressured your mom to do that
@@emanthekind2140it was extremely messed up! it wasn’t his decision to make. they eventually divorced and we all left the church, he was the only one of us who was ever truly invested in it
I don't know if it's possible but theres a chance you could move her grave? i've heard of it happening before
I once went into this metaphysical store and there was a warning about stealing. i don't think it was the regular "you're being recorded, theft is punishable blah blah" but more of a casual sign that said something unique about being punished for stealing
I remember seeing it and not thinking about it much and I pocketed a pentacle necklace "for protection" as I was just really starting my craft at 13 and was living in an abusive household.
within 30 seconds I felt unbelievably nauseous and I'll and decided to go outside to get some fresh air. I git outside and walked up to the car door, car parked directly in front of the shopdoor & up against the sidewalk, and before I could even grab the handle I began vomiting profusely. so much vomit. i had just eaten McDonald's, and I threw up an unbelievable amount of strawberry shake, fries, and chicken nuggets. it was absolutely _more than I even ate,_ as when we got home I _continued to vomit for another half hour into the tub._ that day I learned that magic is _absoluely real._
whatever curse befell me seemed to continue on for _years_ as i went through literal hell, manipulated into sort of causing the events that led to my own unwarranted and false imprisonment for 3 years, homelessness/couch surfing several months after the imprisonment, isolation and bullying during it, multiple assaults of different kinds, and an abusive relationship, all before I found the pendant, took it to the river (fire hadn't worked), prayed deeply to be forgiven and washed of my transgressions by the universe and my gods, and gave the pendant to the river to be cleansed.
afterwards, shit seriously settled down quite a bit.
not sure if the hell I experienced was linked to the pendant as I don't know why a 13 year old would be punished so severely but it certainly feels like it was.
I totally agree that it is super messed up that your dad did that, however, according to Mormon religion a person can refuse those “works” that people do on this side of the veil. That doesn’t excuse what your dad did at all but hopefully it gives you some piece of mind
rhett and link feel like such dads of youtube i feel like they r so empathetic to youtubers but have a great insight into how to run a buisiness or be professional and what not. they are so nice and caring when they r on podcasts its always so nice to listen to either of them
i agree with this so so much they have such a comforting constant presence on youtube. theyve been here for so long and r known by everyone but theyre both such genuine caring communicative open thoughtful wise people (all of those adjectives). especially listening to how and what they talk about on their own podcast, and also knowing what they did with anthony and ian buying smosh back? they are so dad
I teach elementary age children and Skibidi Toilet is such a core point of community for them, they draw Skibidi's they discuss the episodes and make theories, its fun to watch
that's kinda wholesome AHAHA
Man I'm 25 and I watch Skibidi but I swear there's so much to be said in terms of media analysis about this. I was watching way dumber stuff when I was 10. This show may seem ridiculous to yall right now, but it has actual production, sound design, great music choices, and so many references to actually great pieces of media that kids will be exposed to. I also disagree that "there's nothing to hold onto" about the show. This guy is clearly very good at creating suspense, introducing characters and making the audience invested. It's pretty much a meta sorta joke. The thing is making fun of itself. I can go on a whole rant about it, honestly.
@@melikatalks7676 That's very true! We're kind of witnessing people in our generation turn into our parents already by hating on what the kids are into
Omg goofballs 😂♥️ I love that. Look at them, already influencing the world around them with that unabashed childlike wonder and absurdity. The kids are alright!
Came here for a philosophical highbrow discussion on Skibidi Toilet lore, was not disappointed. 10/10 great show guys
Never would I have expected such an intellectual and philosophical conversation from that title
jarvis saying you can have a hobby that doesnt turn a profit is really relieving to hear. Im a pre-med bio major in uni and a visual artist on the side. Things in the STEM world are very career driven and i carry that over into my art very frequently when i dont need to. Its really nice to be reminded that i can just make art to enjoy it, it doesnt have to be something im working towards as a career.
Yes, I love this too. I graduated in a STEM field (Biology) years ago, and I love writing as a hobby.
i’m proud of you stranger as someone who lost motivation during covid and gave up on my premed dreams, you got this and don’t forget to make time for yourself and your art! that’s the most important thing
I went into studying visual arts after high school cause I wanted to make it my career, and I was miserable. It took me a very long time to get comfortable with my art and the fact that I do it for me and not for profit, or an audience. Took me ten years to go back to watercolours actually haha
So kudos to you, it is a very liberating realisation! :))
Your hobby should be a hobby. Once its for money or carrer skills its no longer a hobby, its just another job.
Minor semantic correction at 1:06:40-
Valve didn’t create Garry’s mod (a guy named Garry did, intuitively), they just created the engine it’s based on. Just for anyone who’s interested lol
Minor semantic correction of this semantic correction, when G-Mod was made into a standalone game in 2006 it was funded and published by valve but still mostly coded by Gary and his very very small team.
wow i didnt know that! thanks for the info :) that's pretty cool lmao
Also, Skibidi Toilet isn't made in GMod, it's made in SFM.
Facepunch Studios: the people that made Rust too.
Also the model for the head in most of them isn't G-Man its just one of the citizen models.
Skibidi toilet confirms that generation alpha enjoys shortform narrative portrait videos. Man, Quibi really was created too early and made shows for the wrong crowd.
Yeah idk why Rhett is talking about his 15 year old because they're a bit old to be watching this. Skibidi toilet is being watched by the same kids who watched or currently watch cocomelon. That's why it has so many veiws.
@demetrian8448 One of my friend's daughters watches Skibidi all the time and I just don't get it. Am I finally getting old?
@@christopherminutolo9384Welcome, your old now!
@@christopherminutolo9384 nah, it's just kids content. I have no idea what a "phanum tax" is but it's in that one parody song (that I've literally heard been called the gen alpha theme song)
I always wonder who decides to name generations because alpha is so fcking stupid. We're naming generations like hurricanes now? We ran out of letters now we're just gonna do the greek alphabet?
Its fascinating how seperate different segments of the internet were even back in 2006. I assumed that Rhett would have known about Gmod because of how prevalent it was on early youtube. It never occurred to me that he wouldnt recognize the animation style and the beats of the gmod animation genre. The internet really is a big place, and it makes me wonder what I "missed"
this is thw first time i've ever heard this exact sentiment spelled out! i always wonder if there are these bigger pockets of the internet golden age that i "missed out" on. the only thing i can compare it to is growing up listening to emo music and discovering pop songs that were big when i was a pre-teen later in life.
I feel like rhett got into TH-cam later on it wasn’t a thing until my man’s
Was almost 30
@@Jakefromstatefarm755 Brother man, he was that age when youtube was basically born. He's a father of a college student
I hate skibidi toilet with my whole heart, but I can't really be mad at the children watching it because I used to watch absurd youtube videos at the age of 10-14 😭
They are Definitely younger than that
They have Skibidi Toilet, we had Salad Fingers
@@StevieMcKenna10bruhh salad fingers was iconic at the time fr
@@StevieMcKenna10we also had Happy Tree Friends 😂
Ring ring ring ring ring banana phone
I spend an unhealthy amount of time on TH-cam, but I've completely missed this Skibidi Toilet thing. I did watch a complete process of mummifying a hen just to find out what a mummy tastes like the other day. It is one of the amazing things about this platform that both can exist at the same time.
Being gen z and finding out about skibidi toilet from this podcast feels poetic somehow
my exact thoughts
Gen alpha got some wild content
I mean, Gen Z had “Chug Jug With You” and stuff like Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen.
Ok random but Jarvis’s voice is such a good, calming podcast voice
I have watched this in its entirety and decided its my favourite episode
it was posted 13 minutes ago... u wrote this comment 7 minutes ago... u watch the entirety of this vid in 6 minutes?
@@wishfulwarningyes thats exactly what they said ^__^
no you havent this video only came out 45 minutes ago
Yes they did
39:28 people DEFINITELY tell people who crochet that they should sell their creations haha. Nowadays anyone who does anything creative is urged by the people around them to make money doing it
"do you remember youtube poops?" *blankest stare of all time*
There’s a drag queen named Flamy Grant (named after Christian pop singer Amy Grant) who’s a former worship leader. She makes progressive Christian country/rock music, and she recently topped the iTunes contemporary Christian charts which really peed off a lot of conservative Christians and televangelists. She was also put forward for Grammy consideration, but they moved her from the Christian music category to the pop category because there’s a song on her album that includes the word “cock”, and apparently that automatically disqualified her from the Christian category (the song itself was about sexism in the church, and I can’t remember the exact lyric but it was something along the lines of “I didn’t know having a cock was a prerequisite to being a church leader”). I’d love for Rhett to duet with her after hearing him talk about his deconstruction and his music!
“Do you know TH-cam poops”
Rhett: 😐
Connecting skibidi toilet with TH-cam poops and old Gmod/ SFM is pretty valid.
I’m so happy when the creators I love love other creators I love. This video gives me a dopamine boost 💕
They said in the Link episode that Rhett and Link helped them with establishing the company that they produce content as a part of
I thought this was gonna be "Rhett watches a weird video series and talks about it," but man, this is so much more. This definitely intrigues me to check out more of Sad Boyz! The quality of content and ability to have an intellectual conversation about literally anything is really impressive and comforting to watch. Great stuff, guys!!
as a civil engineer who does some water stuff i will remember this slight for centuries
Go build a dam for that river you're crying.😂
I literally listen to you guys while drawing on my iPad all the time. It’s like comforting background noise that isn’t super distracting and helps me focus in on the art really well. Love these super long episodes for that.
Jordan talking about feeling like nothing you do or are counts unless it's seen is exactly why I stopped performing slam poetry after doing it since I was thirteen.
The Social Network was filmed at my college lol. So all the exterior shots of "Harvard" are actually Hopkins, but then the interiors were all studio sets, so it was them walking into like the chemistry building and it's somehow a dorm and things like that. So weird to watch. Also when I was applying to colleges my choices came down to Carnegie Mellon and Hopkins. I said no to Carnegie Mellon, and it was definitely the best decision I ever made.
32:36 Rhett your deconstruction series was an important catalyst for me to finally open up to the idea of leaving my faith behind. It had been percolating for a long time, but seeing two people I respect be open and honest about their decision made it so much easier to be open and honest with myself. Thank you and Link both.
What I loved most was the contrast of their two decisions. Rhett was so factual (history shows these stories to be false). Link was so emotional (how can you tell me to hate my friend/business partner). Two entirely different ways of arriving at the same conclusion.
"medically British"
Jordan is the funniest man ever🤣
the thing is, so many people shit on skibidi toilet, but its literrally an SFM animation, which is what most of us zoomers and millennials were watching in the 2010s
Skibidi Toilet is just a reincarnation of the Llamas with Hats era
Is that the one with "Carl, that kills people!" bit?
I'm in my early 30s and this video is how I learned about Skibiddi Toilet. I joked about Skibiddi Toilet at work the other day, and one of my clients told me she stopped letting her son (now 3 years old) watch Skibiddi Toilet videos because she worried it was impeding his potty training/scaring him, but that was a false alarm. What a time to be alive
Just what I needed this morning: A podcast about feelings, and other things also!
I feel like Skibidi Toilet is just exactly what a majority of middle schoolers find funny, which is why it is popular. From my experience, a lot of their humor is randomness for the sake of randomness. The thought process that “I don’t get this, I’m getting out of touch” is simply because people don’t regularly interact with kids age 10-13, the target audience. Middle schoolers like stuff because they like stuff, there isn’t that much more to it. That’s not bad, it’s not good, it’s just how people work.
More like elementary schoolers lmao
my brothers (10 yo and 6yo) are obsessed with it😭
Actually it’s only 10 or younger ppl that like it even middle schoolers know it’s cringe
My 12 year old hates it, thank god lol
@@Bats4Bats0 I really need to see the statistics of this because people keep saying it but offering no proof that that's the age range thats into this
@@strayiggytv It’s flashing fast video, only a minute per “episode”, easy repeatable song, violence and toilet humour. A goldmine for 6-12 year olds lmao they’re definitely the demographic
I feel like skibidi toilet is fully in line with what SFM animation/music videos have been doing for years with creators like an0nymoose and Eltorro64. I also think the evolution of skibidi toilet is not that surprising, dark subversions of funny/cute material is rampant on youtube as well (mickey mouse/goofy in the vietnam war, existential crisis ronald mcdonald). And the source assets also lend themselves well to creating a dystopian warzone. But these tropes reaching such a big audience is definitely new.
skibidi toilet could kill a victorian child and me as well
I live in Charleston where they film The Righteous Gemstones, and it is thrilling to see well-known locations like our local bookstore (which closed months after the episode aired, rip), the At Home parking lot, and the McDonalds I go to only when I don’t feel like driving to the better one. I imagine that’s what it feels like to live in Hollywood or New York.
Lmao Charleston gang!! Remember how excited everyone was when they started filming Outer Banks? 🤣
I felt called out twice during this: once when you mentioned not turning crocheting into a business (I was crocheting throughout this entire video) and then at the end with the comfort-watching/multi-tasking discussion lol
Its funny skibidi toilet gave Rhett and existential crisis
It has been such a TREAT finding this podcast, great convos with lovely people, also the outro song fucks
As someone whose mom is Scottish and can trace my lineage on her side all the way to Vikings (possibly via Ireland?) who settled in Scotland a veeeeeeeeeery long time ago, I find Rhett’s Scotland/Ireland lineage mixup so funny. It’s very easy to do, and neither one usually minds being confused for the other.
However! If you think it’s Scotland or Ireland, and it turns out to be England? You’re getting hell for it 😂
Helpful tip: Mac- is usually Scottish, and Mc- is usually Irish ❤️
i highly recommend the new rhett and link sketches!! the haunted house one they just put out was so fun
I, as a 16 yo, just want to say that we are not the ones genuinely enjoying skibidi toilet. Ive actually only seen it described as "weird gen alpha shit that we're too old too understand"
As a 21 year old I've never seen or even heard of this lol its probably literal like 3-6 year Olds watching this stuff
To add onto your comment lol
I'm 37. I can't explain why I love it but I do 😂
Yess I hate it (I’m 19 tho) I only know about it because my younger brother is 8 watches these 😭😭
it's definitely a gen alpha thing. The oldest of them just turned 13
I worked at my ymca’s summer camp this year and one of the kids spent a collective 4 hours over the span of two weeks on painstakingly describing all of the lore of skibidi toilets to me. The entire series is like an hour long. I could not tell him i didn’t want to hear about it or he very likely would have had a full blown violent meltdown. There was no escape. It was torture
@annalisa9755 Oh gosh, I feel your pain :D I once had my seven yr old niece spend over two hours, explaining (I think) the plot of one of those puppy “paw patrol” movies and no lie, at least 10 times she stopped and had to go right back to the beginning to clarify some mind-numbing minor point in the plot! This was all while she was sitting on my lap kind of flopped over staring off into the distance while she talked having a lovely time and I didn’t have the heart to stop her 🧸 Love her like chocolate ❤ but I did come to understand the emotional and mental state of an animal that would chew its own leg off to get out of a trap!
16:06 episode of um, actually! Can’t wait to watch!
Love Rhett he’s so chill
"No one is going to know this movie, the internship" Jarvis that is like me and my husbands most favorite movie to watch together. I love that movie. Interesting to hear the insight on the cali vs georgia locations.
“no one needs to turn this crochet thing into a business” me, working on a crochet project where every time someone new sees me crocheting tells me i should sell my work… no pls no
I just started this episode but I wonder if they mention the fact that Rhett has basically the same last name as very Irish Jacksepticeye, which might help track the origin of the name
The way Benedict Cumberbatch looks medically British, Rhett looks medically Irish American--he doesn't look Scottish. It took me a couple trips out there to get it. Yes: a common ancestry. No: not the same. It's wild.
It's the way rhett puts things into perspective that keeps me engaged with subjects I don't care about ❤
I resonate so much with Rhett's deconstruction and I'm so happy that there were moments of talking about that in the middle of other conversations. I'm another one of those who watched GMM as a kid and I'm so excited to see what's next on the R&L channel :D
Dude what?? I love The Intership didn't think no one knew or liked it 😂
i love watching 3 very very short petite men talk its so fun
Thanks for introducing me to Skibiti toilet. I just watched all 67 episodes in a trancelike state and am now somehow hooked on this nonsense
i watched rhett and link when i was in middle school and their kids were like toddlers back then and then he said “my 15 year old” and i got whiplash
I've said Howdy for years. Glad someone is actively trying to bring it back. Also, Radiohead is an example of that type of band, Rhett
If I’m emailing multiple people at work I always open with “howdy folks” lmao 🫡
Are you saying that you think Radiohead has been chasing trending sounds for decades?
absolutely not!@@CloudNotFoundJust that they're tapped into what's relevant as it changes
@@an0mie1 Phew. Reality was starting to feel melty around the edges there for a second lmao.
Skibidi Toilet just seems like gen alpha's Badger Badger Badger, surrealist dada humor is pretty timeless
the way jarvis said vancouver hurt my soul.
really loving the concept of “showing rhett and link the part of the internet that they don’t understand” thing going with them as guests, would love to see them on again!
Used to watch GMM. They made a video on ASMR which was my very first introduction to it, sparking my curiosity into what would later be my main artistic outlet. Very appreciative for them!!
I relate so much to the "I'm really here" feeling, I'm a long haul truck driver and constantly get those feelings whenever I drive through a part of the country I haven't been before but have seen in movies or TV or heard a song about.
New sad boys ep makes me a happy boy
The James and the Shame taking away from GMM/parasocial relationship/not turning a profit related to a hobby part of this chat was so true, I wish more people thought the way they discuss it here
Rhett is incredibly respectful
i ABSOLUTELY LOVE the internship my dad showed it to me when i was little (skipped the inappropriate scenes). I’ve also lived in the bay my whole life!
really loved rhett on the pod! would love to see him come back
39:30 idk why but i was so shocked when he mentioned crocheting. like that’s a widely known thing but i’m crocheting while watching this and it surprised me.
I am sprinting to the comments bc Jarvis I DO KNOW THAT MOVIE. The Internship is actually one of my favorite movies of all time!
The sad boyz was my moms favorite podcast before she died 6 years ago. Listening to them always makes me smile and remeber the times i spent with my mom, i know shes smiling in heaven with me ❤ ty
bestie Jarvis people do get onto crocheters about turning their crochet into a business
it feels like we as people aren’t allowed to have hobbies anymore
everything must be monetised
I love that jordan watched blackadder growing up. Im american but i watched a lot of british tv growing up. I knew rowan adkinson from blackadder, not mr bean. I remember absolutely blowing my college roommates mind showing her that show, she couldnt wrap her head around the fact that he is not american - which is funny to me bc he is also clinically english in my mind
Habsburg! I got recommended the same thing and had the same "why would you do that?"
Also I just heard Xiao Xiao... I was all over those animations.
What a coincidence, I just rewatched the Link episode last night! So excited for this
I can’t believe you are talking about skibidi. At first, I thought it was “skippity” because I found out about this from a girl in the 2nd grade who promptly told me the whole skibidi lore during a 30 minute recess and drew me a picture of it with a knife. Children are our future. Another great sad podcast
As a person who loves to crochet. Yes, people do tell me that i need to turn it into a business and start to sell the stuff I make as a side hustle. But, they can't comprehend that I don't want to make a hobby a job. I feel like it's the overall hustle culture that has been so ingrained into our society
i deeply have loved the interview since i was young it’s so enjoyable for you to make that connection like i wanted to know anything more about the details of it and shooting thank you jarvis
(around 6:25) a few years ago my grandparents did an ancestors test. my grandpa (around 80 years old at the time) found out that his father was not his biological father, but instead an Italian man was (test said he was about 40% Italian. which was a real shocker.)
this made sense in hind sight because our last name is slavic, so my great grandfather had to have pretty prevalent slavic ancestry, but my grandfather always has looked very Italian (dark skin, especially when he is tan he turns like brown, dark hair, big nose, etc.) and he never knew why: especially because neither side of the family had prevelent Italian ancestry. my dad also was told he looked Italian (looks similar to my grandfather but less intense.)
so, my 80 year old grandfather found out the man who he thought was his biological dad, was not, and he couldn’t ask about it because everyone he would ask had died (recently my great aunt had died and she probably knew something about it.) that was a whole thing and i feel bad because he didn’t find out till he was 80 and there was no one left to ask. it’s just insane.
this part is more about me but, as i said, my last name is slavic. but, it belonged to my great grandfather whom i am not biologically related to, so i have a cool slavic last name, but i don’t really have ancestral ties with it, which is interesting
1:08:45 That blink was so comical I could hear the Spongebob "plink" sound effect
i think you guys aren’t realizing that the people genuinely enjoying skibidi toilet aren’t 15, they’re like 5. it’s generation alpha. its caused a lot of discussion about where that generation is going.
Yeah my students who are 7-13, and the fifth graders I volunteered with, are the ones who most often reference it. Definitely not teenagers lol
RHETT AND JARVIS LET'S GOO
I don't care about Skibidi Toilet & never utilized G-Mod myself in the prime of its life, but I'm glad to see that it's still such an accessible creative outlet & source of absurd humor for kids.
I can't judge, I loved Machinima & mans1ay3r vids as a middle-schooler, & I still really enjoy TF2 SFM stuff.
I went to Stanford from 1993-1998. I saw The Social Network when a neighbor in an airplane was watching it. It took three seconds of viewing to pick it apart as being nothing like the Stanford experience. Just the little things.
jarvis Johnson can make me watch anything
really appreciate talking about not making every hobby a side gig
little did jarvis know i LOVE the internship. such a cute little movie. I love it so much
"No one is going to know this movie" - names my favorite movie 😅
I saw Dafuq?Boom comment on one of my favorite Gorillaz song, "Desole" Ft. Fatoumata Diarwa, and this jas honestly changed my mind on exactly who we're dealing with.
I loved the talk about shifting ways of understanding the places we are now. I am from a suburb outside of Chicago in Illinois, and when I was young I always got so excited when we would go to Chicago for any event. Like, we are going to The City! When I saw the skyline I'd get so pumped. Now I am grown up, I went to college in Chicago and I now live in the city in an apartment with my boyfriend. Just recently I was driving near the loop, looking at the skyline glittering in the sun, and I teared up. I was just thinking about how cool it is that I get to live and work in this city that I love! It seems simple but it's something I am so proud of and I feel so lucky everyday. Thank you for this scintillating conversation 🙌
David Bowie is one of the few examples of an artist who was able to keep reinventing their sound and remain culturally relevant.
I love this episode so much because I grew up watching GMM since middle school and I intend to pass it on to my child who’s due in January because it’s something enjoyable, they have good practices, and they’re entertaining overall. I think they’ve progressed well over time too; as they’ve grown so have I and considering they have children of their own they know how to keep younger audiences attention even if they’ve grown over the years. It is kind of surreal how the internet has this kind of impact on media but I generally don’t like TV or dramas or mainstream media as much as YT and the fact that it can be so diverse is something I like, I just don’t like the drama aspect and controversies but I generally don’t like creators who end up getting into drama to begin with so I wouldn’t be ashamed to pass the things I’m interested in down to my next generation.
Congratulations on your expected baby, I have one due in Jan as well! My 3yo loves GMM and Rhett and Link, it's been so nice to carry on my morning routine with her
@@skedaddlebakerthat’s so cute. I used to make my newborn niece watch gmm with me when I lived with my sister. Also the heybear sensory videos, and sometimes miraculous ladybug. She would start laughing like crazy. It’s so cute to be able to share little interests with babies even if they don’t fully understand yet but it’s good for stimulating them.
Congrats on the newborn that’s gonna be so cute having the both of them together♥️
Being super early is wild, you can watch the likes ticker go up in real time, I've never noticed that before
I just saw it happened after reading your comment lol
