- JOHN MAUS - COP KILLER original version
I edited the missing intro to the original rough cut. Enjoy.
"Charls did a Twitch stream yesterday called sombre and grateful times, around the 54:00 mark he says he wrote the sketch and it's about not letting people grind you down, the lord of this world is a kind of prison architect, and the prisoner mind-set has people turning on their fellow prisoners in the system. "How to not be ground down by the test-tube freaks and the bastards" - quote by Charls." -- comment by Craig O Reilly, 2021 - ตลก

greatest sketch ever written, greatest sketch ever shot.
The man himself
Love ya, miss ya Chuck
They just couldn't reach that guy
hell yea
Yoooooo!
Theres a special place in hell for the Adult Swim sound techs who "lost" Maus performance.
There's a somewhat recovered version on the WP4K channel.
A tragedy!
@@vrubayka no that is spliced in from a different live John Maus performance. i think he went a little too over the top beyond what the show was supposed to look like. the show was just supposed to have the song be playing, not be a live performance. the wp4k guy thinks it was supposed to be a live performance and spliced in a bunch of the screaming. its cool, but not accurate.
I hear the sound tech has filthy, gangly pubic hair.
@@ab8817nope Sam said John was screaming and it was awesome

This hits different when you rewatch it 3 years later after wasting the last 3 years
Me too fellow wastoid
@@kevinrhea7332 the worst part isn't that I wasted 3 years, its that I'll keep wasting my time, it doesn't even faze me anymore
3 years later? nah, it hasn't even been a day since this was aired.

@@Finegold88 Not this, not never
“snake eyes”
“you rolled a five and a one”
Hell yeah
not me, not never
i dont get it, what does it mean?
@@ooDirtyMickoo its about how just an average innocent guy can live a life of regrets denying all of it until the end where it haunts him but doesnt end him staying with him like the sting of a stab wound.
I like to believe he means he's not giving in to the natural human urges to fight in vane.
@@iLOVEadventuretime13 that's a stretch, I think he's refusing to accept what's just happened to him. 10 years, 40 years, 200 years, how 'bout I'm doin' none of 'em. He's in denial.
No it's a quote from the video drinking from cups,
This sketch is about wasting your life, prison is a metaphor for the situation you put your self in and the invisible walls you invent to trap you there. His attitude is the attitude of teens and early 20s, invincible, tons of potential, with all the time in the world.
One day you may get to the other side and realize all the time and effort you wasted is gone forever and the world has moved on with out you (The rundown home that was once beautiful).
I like your take a lot. Considering what Sam always preaches about not wasting your time, it makes sense.
Someone in a comment below put it perfectly: "Tfw you’ve made your bed and must now lay in it but you can’t go back to sleep" -- So I guess that's exactly what Charls' bed symbolizes in the end. Holy fuck.
Sounds like Pink Floyd's The Wall
I thought him being oblivious to his situation was him holding on to the memory of freedom. Then when he is out he realizes the world moved on and now he is a prisoner in his own mind. I love this sketch so much! And their teacher one too.

@@craigoreilly4453 thanks for this, I really did have a feeling that it wasn't about wasting time, the whole thing is way to comedic and light-hearted.
I got arrested for assault on a cop, I never gave a shit. Now 5 years of my life are gone. I never understood this until now.
explain then
@@namesurname624snake eyes
The kind of tired that sleep won't fix.
Awake, but at what cost.
Marijan Karaula Yes. Sounds like the autobiography of my life.
Interesting that the only moment of emotional sincerity on this show dealt with the lifelong consequences of refusing to be emotionally sincere.
Everything in this show is in one way or another based on our reality. Imo it's the only truly sincere show I can think of. I'm almost glad it lasted barely a season because it means more to us emotionally that way. I don't know who you are but I love you. Were all in this together. God bless

This was written out of a genuine fear of destroying your own life with apathy and indifference, being consumed by cognitive dissonance as your only remaining link to reality. This piece feels like a stark warning to the late night cable kids who were smart enough to get the message, but didn’t know how to escape what they were doing to themselves. It’s okay to feel things bros. It’s okay to be genuine and to exist.
:3 imma do it the black way :)))
we are entering an era of new new sincerity
reminds me of the The Stranger Albert Camus
What makes you think you know why it was written?
@ Dark Plasmo me aswell! I found the same connection
Can't feel regret if you don't ever admit how close you came to success. Just sit there and say "snake eyes" even when you were one point on the dice away from victory.
That's the hard way, too.
snake eyes
I didn't even get the significance of that little line
@@victorfigueroa3735 think the significance was he’s even in denial of what the dice said. Just pushing the joke
the effects of being taught to have faith in a system that will steal the best years of your life
You're really reaching for the stars with this one, sonny.
@Dman (Formerly Roman Bellic) not bait. Op is actually irrelevant nonsense.
@Dman (Formerly Roman Bellic) nice sock puppet

@@BumboLooks sock puppet 🤡
According to Sam John Maus was the only artist that appeared on the show to not throw mde under the bus when all the shit went down. Makes sense, he has a doctorate in philosophy, he actually gets critical thinking.
Also Soft Moon
The Swordsman I didn’t know that; I’m relieved to hear The Soft Moon had more sense than the other bands, I was getting really worried about him lol
yah but you're nothing like him dawg, loser lol
he eventually did over a year later because of certain people continueing to harass him over it. I mean he still associated with charls and some other autism stuff after that so whatever.
@Nero subbed to the daily wire and shoeonhead, have you even been paying attention over the past few years?
This was and still is really surreal and emotional for a comedy sketch,very powerful.Charles was perfect
His seemingly fragile state of mind throughout the entire run of World Peace only makes this moment even greater, for once Charls isn’t acting like a deranged lunatic, his performance is actually really good
Haunting, sticks with me every day. Such a crime that they stole 100 more episodes from us.
MDE Never dies. World Peace 2
At first l didn't get it but the more you watch, the more you connect the pieces. To me it seems about denial. You realize it's too late to do anything and there are no do-overs, the regrets and time lost
Still can't believe this aired.... No justice no world peace
Agreed. There's so many layers to it. Like another layer of meaning is depression caused by what u mentioned, thus the clip being b&w and him ending up in bed and just wanting to sleep forever, but there the regret and memories haunt him the most. I also think that everything we see until the bed scene is a recollection of the past during his sleep or while lying awake, which is why he's surrounded by all the sets. It's like he's stuck.
This is my interpretation: The obvious one is injustice against the innocent, tyranny. The man living in ignorance of the world going into shit and he realizes it at the end. The state turns against the people and rigs it against their success which breaks even the most strong-willed man. Government tells the small man to "roll a seven" to have a say to change things. (Wiki: "In gambling in general and the game of craps in particular, snake eyes is the outcome of rolling the dice in a game and getting only one pip on each die. The pair of pips resembles a pair of eyes, which is appended to the word snake because of the creature's long-standing association with *treachery and betrayal* .") He had the highest chances. He rolled "a five and a one" = Six. I know it's a pair of dice but it's symbolic of being so close yet so far. Good people are fucked over everywhere: In the law court, in prisons and even by the police and government.
The realization that he's been living his whole life in ignorance makes him furious. Sleeping forever also means staying ignorant for a life, but going back to ignorance is impossible. You want to help yet you don't want others to experience the same torment that comes with it and it leaves one powerless. The world makes people consider killing for justice, but being a vigilante is unlawful. It's a carefully crafted maze. Going to bed forever also means death. All rightous people want to die fighting rather than die bedridden. Considering all this the title makes all the more sense: "The man who would never be what they made him to be." Somebody who just wants to tend his own garden (mind his own business) turns into someone full of vengeance and blood thirst. It shows another view of those who are labeled nuts by the media. It makes everyone sympathize with and understand the desperate who only wants justice, even if it means war and death which is the most honorful value. This value was lost a long time ago and I swear never existed under British/American rule. This is the true western value of Europe which makes it different from all of the world and shine and this brightess which drove us to present gave us very envious enemies who want this taken by any means necessary.
W☮rld Peace is so undervalued. Its cancellation makes its name even more mocking and ironic. It deserves a cult following. Ever since I've found out about its existence I adored it and I still keep coming back to rewatch sketches.
I bet my life that anyone that knows World Peace/MDE is in the right place at the right time. MDE is all fun and jokes but people with this mindset know they are stepping into a very special time of history and they are the ones who will make a brighter future for us. This show makes you believe. And those who cock blocked the show know it very well.
And John Maus screams like pure agony that part really made it
Actually on a second listen, this is the superior cut. Disregard
John Maus gave everything in this, you can feel it all right through your screen
Apparently the sound team lost the live audio, is what Sam said in the latest PGL
@@Terminxman such a shame that those retards lost the audio, he's pouring his soul out in that performance. Sam and Nick said it was the greatest thing they'd ever seen
he was the one of the few that did not back away from the show
Highly recommend seeing him live. Watch any video of him performing and you’ll see that somehow, he’s able to replicate this kind of performance every time.
I've never seen the word despair so perfectly shown in a visual way
Tfw you’ve made your bed and must now lay in it but you can’t go back to sleep
Bruh...
...You just blew my mind. It all makes sense now.
Can’t believe the sound guys lost the original audio for Johns performance
Came here to comment the same thing. Criminal activity.
It probally was on purpose
@@santiagolara8070 i think the same thing, sound guy was probably upset at the MDE crew. whatever it may be I'd like to know what the studio version of this sounded like,
The juxtaposition of John shouting into the mic like his life depended on it and the relatively calmly delivered audio is one of my favorite things about this sketch, so imo it worked out pretty well.
@@josephdiaz2182 i wonder if it was a live version of cop killer or if it was mixed in cuz the one on butchute had extra voices mixed with the hey moon version
million dollar extreme is one of the most important acts of the 21st century and probably of all times
Absolutely. I hope one day it will be given the credit where its due.
for now it's completely "disappeared" from Adult Swim, and they say leftist censorship isn't real
It doesn’t feel good, boys. But, we’re here. Together.
no sketch has ever stuck with me as much as this one did
This sketch should be studied by future generations

Charles Bukowski
I love 2:45. You can see subtle scream of anger and despair in Charls twitching face, followed by Johns vocal expression. It's beautiful.
Charls' acting is top notch tbh. Almost makes me wanna see him in at least one really good independent flick, like a messed up drama or psycho thriller.
@@DOOMGENERATION Too bad world became such a leftist shithole. Nowadays good art is labeled as offensive because it makes you think and question the world and the bullshit system around us. As Charls said in one of his alienmode vids, the majority of the population is fucking stupid and you can't beat them 'till they are smart, that's not gonna happen.
I always found Charls to be very wise. I still like to watch his streams for that reason.
I always call it "digital book burning" as it's the same shit, just in a different form, and that's why they get away with it, bc if we didn't have today's technology and internet platforms where everything doesn't exist in physical form, but only books n papers, I can imagine it'd be hard to get away with it.
@@DOOMGENERATION touché mate, touché.
CHARLS IS BACK MDE NEVER DIES
It makes me angry that this show, the voice of a generation of young men was silenced, censored.
@Boi Literally.
Talk about censoring. poop tube has deleted 2 of my last youtube accounts due to my comical fixation with the furher. Just remember intelligence and fecundity have nothing to do with one another.
No, just half the generation. Buzzfeed baizuo shit is all that’s allowed through the filter
Lack of tolerance helps to create extremism. If people aren't even allowed to participate honestly in society and voice their opinions or converse with others without getting crucified, then they all hide it and become rightfully spiteful. If moderate is viewed as extreme through the lens of society, then there is no longer a boundary to maintain to stay in society. It's already been crossed, and I am already cast out. There is an African proverb that says, "A child that is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth." Spend 10 minutes playing video games or in a youtube comment section or in real life, and you see there's a large undertow of views that people can't have on public record because they'll get fucked even if they've proven to be a regular contributing member of society.

This is literally me. Time to make a change before I end up living out this sketch in its entirety. Good luck to all those out there in the same boat. Not all of us are capable of greatness but it's only your fault if you don't even try.
True and sames
@@deleteduser2291 do it. i am much happier now. have a kid and dont send it to school.
Good luck with that. I wasted 10 years and even now, while I am lucid, I am wasting my eleventh one. I feel like it is too late for me. I may be living in this sketch now.
john maus standing over the thrashing and tormented man singing to him as if he's absorbing all of his pain and dread and throwing it back to him with his voice. what an image. to me it's like john is angry and sad for the man but is reprimanding him at the same time. this is art to me
I kind of get the feeling like he’s an alternate form of death aka the grim reaper here except he’s frustrated at having to show up to so many peoples lives to take them away to find out they wasted it. Who else would be more frustrated at people wasting life than death. Just what my high ass thinks 🤷🏻♂️
@@TalmboutJonAfrica i like that too
@@TalmboutJonAfrica i also started to think that John represents all of the man's emotions he suppressed while in prison
Tr;Dr : Maus sits on the bed after he is finsished singing, the same way chuck lays down after he finished haveing a tantrum. symbolic mimicing
you know what too bro. I wanna mention the fact of a matter that is overlooked by almost everyone. even me, and i only just noticed it right now.
Mr maus, after his frantic pattionate aberratious tormented screaming he too is subject to the notion of "to go to bed forever".
i feel like this gesture is one of the most important symbolic ations in the entire sktech.
the prisoner, when he meets his bed to become his resting place. is angered a furious. crashing around like a todder trantrum. even to the point of disdain for the only place he might ever find comfort. His bed. squandering years and years only to return to babyhood. his fury is rightoues.
then, he falls into fatuge and goes to bed forever ( final sktech of the final episode) (WP2 isnt world peace 2)
maus' actions mimic this. at the end of his pattionate screetching song. he lowers his head. he sits on the bed too.
wather you howl at the moon in righteous rebelion of the law
or weather you ball and temper like a baby with filled diper
the final product is the same
you will go to bed forever
i dont think nihilism is the point of the sketch. i dont think thats what was intented.
but of course this sktech is a portral of nihilishtic beahiviour. and the troubles that trail such a beahavioiur
i think maus succoming to this same nihlisim (even temporarly, as he only sits on the bed. he does not fully lay in the bed like chuck does) sends the message from the wirter/director that this sence of wasted time and exaustion from the prospect of lawful desintergration of the world is natureal for all people. not just wasted men, but artist and business men alike.
maybe this view point is too nehislistc... but i want to feel that everyone can feel powerless or that life is not only fleeting but purposeless.
yet we all know that (mystically) this worthless thing is valube because of that very nature.
the fact that life had no true aim or that life will not last forever is a somewhat inspireing idea
because no matter how hard you fucked it up. you can always wake up tomorrow.
i suppose your time will eventaully run out, but then... what does it matter? what? youre going to feel bad when youre dead? nah bro. you will only feel bad when youre alive.
and for that matter. you will only feel anything at all while youre alive.
Edit: i also notice light behind maus head in the very last shot. symbolic of a "enlighted mind"? idk...
I interpreted it as John is a physical representation of the prisoner's self conscious, screaming at him for how bad he messed up, like a tormenter.
As a dude about to hit 30 who has wasted a lot of his life on drugs and ignoring reality this one hits so hard every time smh
Fugg that sugcks b, try bein more positive fam
What else do u do man? Learn skills. Seek peace wherever you can find, and cope with misery
Same brother keep pushing and strive to better and learn we wasted years now we have to reclaim them
Be glad you're not locked up. Your life could be so much worse all I gotta say.
smoke up brah, feels nice af
There have been studys that telling sick people they are going to die in a certain timespan they almost always die exactly then, people who don't know almost always live much longer, think about that.
Aye. There's the ones who say "Fuck that" and end up living years and years and have a full and totally normal life. It's all state of mind and William Power, unless you have stage 4 cancer.
....What are these studies? Sound mad interesting and pseudo-unethical. ...Or is it just studying the people who have been told they're gonna die at a certain time vs. the ones who just never knew they were supposed to die?

to go to bed forever.
A real pity this show was cancelled. A genuine pity. This, I felt, was a continuation of real, modern comedy. Tim and Eric Awesome Show was low-key extremely influential and it touched everything for better or worse. World Peace was finally breaking that. It took situational, contextual fun and silliness that made T&E popular but was underpinned with depth and meaning. There was feeling, there was mood, the comedy came from a need of cathartic release. World Peace was exactly the right direction that the world needed to go in to be better, and I'm not just talking comedy. This wasn't just content, it was art. It cared.
Indeed a pity.
The biggest scandal is how AS is memory holing it, like as if it never existed.
This is possibly the best written explanation of what this show was and could have been and summarizes how we all felt about it deep down.
I hear world peace might return since I heard Sam might bring it back in a form of a part 2. He had like ideas for it planned that I saw in a stream clip. I am kinda glad Sam is getting more recognition after the idubbbz documentary. He is pretty much one of the last bastions of edgy/dark comedy.
and autism
World Peace 2 baby!
When was the last time a TV show ever made you feel something? Adult Swim didn't cancel a show, they destroyed one of the greatest pieces of art ever made.
At first i thought this skit was comedy. Then I realized it was a tragedy.
Damn this shits depressing Charles has a point. We’re slaves to time.
Charls is a slave to his schizophrenia and race mixing.
1:35 “hmm? Bye” kills me everytime 🤣😂 great writing.
We were robbed of this and given Pickle Rick to replace it.
Based on something Sam covers on nicks stream. He talks about tiny actions that burn up years of your time because you didnt want to think about them. willfully. when you were given the opportunity and urgency to take something seriously enough to double think it in that split second.
I think people don’t understand how good Andy ruse is as a director.

@@hrovardran4755 i think you should watch better shows or just go ahead and watch more MDE. sam hyde bit the hand that fed him time and time again and everyone pretends that Tim was the sole voice that got his show canned. the show’s bumpers, usage of that aurora shooter’s symbol, and so many other things are probably what got it kicked off lol. sam had every opportunity to not fuck that up but he did so anyway
The most important MDE sketch
At 1:08 I'm pretty sure he says " 'Guys feel like hitting/heading' Ciro's for a cold beer?". There's a "Ciro's Tavern" pub in Woonsocket Rhode Island

The look on John Maus’ face when he screams against the law just hurts
I was just released from prison 3 days ago and this hits harder then the total amount of grief I experienced being locked up 5 years. I am 31 now. I wasted so much time, money, opportunities, and peoples time groveling in self pity and delusional mind games. I was not emotionally mature enough to face my own self imposed pit of failure and apathy. Now I am reborn under the grace of God as I have realized it is not my will that gets me to evolve into a better person. It is God and I put my faith fully into being the light I wish to see in the world. Thank god for MDE.
God is not the answer if you want to truly free your mind. I hope you can one day. I believe in you.
@@greggoat6570 You may mean well with your comment, but that's just not how it works. If you spent some more time thinking on this subject, you'd realize that for some people faith is the way - even if it's not for you. We all got our own paths.
What's funny is if this had come out a few years later not only would AS have been okay with the Cop Killer song, they probably would've used it in ads and stuff.
the philosophy of indifference
Only 6 episodes of World Peace, not nearly enough, but those 6 episodes have more depth than all of Tim and Eric's work combined. World Peace 2 may be coming soon. I hope to God Charls will be a part of it.
Don’t know if you heard but after a bit of a rollercoaster situation Charls has confirmed he will be in World Peace 2

2:47 the look on his face and that gutwrenching scream. Such a poignant, vivid shot that describes my inner state at this time quite perfectly. Perfect. Literally the most accurate representation of bottled up rage in that 2 seconda
Charls is the lasting image of the show, because this skit is the lasting image of the show.
Truly incredible sketch. Charls's writing, Ruse's direction, and John Maus's music culminate into something wholly meaningful and gushing with beauty. Hope we get to see more like this from MDE in WP2 and beyond.
Guys. He's back in. It's official. WP2 BABYYY. Just confirmed it three minutes ago on stream.
Yeah, I think im gonna fuckin scream
Eternally based, thanks for the edit.
Thx, you're welcome big guy.
Did anyone notice that the bed frame reads “Go To Bed Forever?”
This cut is the best.
Favorite MDE sketch of all time
Has it been six years since this aired? It feels like only a day has passed. MDE was destroyed, butchered, and slandered. Its fate shows you can't afford to be creatively honest in today's Mickey Mouse world if you want to be successful. Not just creatively. You can't become anything if you want to remain true to yourself.
I thought MDE captured the spirit of a generation of ostracized young men, but we know the powers that be don't care about any of that.
MDE never dies
We're so back
@@degayify hellls ya
"bye" lol
BYE! BYE BYE!!!!
Fucking brilliant. there is no escaping that which might bring you joy; the price is the ability to justify idleness
I think about this sketch a lot.
While I agree with the message of wasting your life as a teen and young adult and being utterly distraught over it years later; there's also an angle in here relating to addiction I feel. It's pretty much the same thing as what I just mentioned, but being so absorbed and destroyed by an addiction - alcohol, meth, porn, gambling etc - that you finally reel it back in with a 12 step program or something of the like and just realize the damage that has been done to your life and those around you. John Maus' haunting chorus "against the law" being a constant and sharp reminder that what you're doing is going against the very laws of the universe that God has laid down (thou shall not kill) as you obliterate your own life via addiction and become a slave to something. You cannot see anything else and live only for that vice. Insane sketch.
Perhaps the greatest sketch and greatest art ever made. Also incredible demonstration of the danger of lying to yourself.
i didn't watch World Peace during its original run, so this edit of this sketch is top. I like Hey Moon but Cop Killer suits the angst of a life wasted
the dice scene is the most telling. pretending this isn't happening but also gambling on terrible odds just to make it stop.
cognitive dissonance won't change how you really feel, or what's really going on, it just forces you into a situation where you're playing someone else's game on their terms.
This is odd for a comedy show, some of their sketches seem like dramatic commentaries
The World wasn't ready for World Peace
Time crumbles things; everything grows old under the power of Time and is forgotten through the lapse of Time.
Happy 2020

Hm?Bye...
This clip hit different. I was valedictorian at my school but I grew up getting bounced around from foster to foster and like the stereotype goes I started doing drugs. One snowboarding injury and an oxycontin prescription later that after a year and a half the doctor cut without tapering me down and I was facing the worst mental physical and spiritual pain I could possibly imagine so I turned to heroin. This led me to getting caught up onto some petty s*** even though it was my first offense they maxed me out after being processed in jail and then at level three sortational facility in Lorain Ohio where they put me into drug program that would have seen me get out early but the program lost funding two days prior to me getting released. I got shipped to Richland which shares the yard with the old shut down Mansfield reformatory which is where they filmed the Shawshank redemption. I didn't join any gangs because if you're white the only options you have are two skinhead groups that are only slightly different and the prospect of walking around on the streets afterwards with swazis on my forearms did not seem appetizing. After I got out shortly after this bullshit pandemic happened so I went from one from of isolation to another. We could be masters of the universe but instead we are slaves to a paycheck and a tiny glass screen waiting to die and throwing our money at any fragments of nostalgia or sense of masculinity it has been curated for us to consume. We trade our self-respect and our futures for groups of people who squander them even worse than we did. But hey at least this is all just a simulation right.
quit bitching and start going to therapy
@@ElsaBordelcum All They wanted to do was regression therapy to hear about my childhood. Hoping they could find something disgusting. Then they recommend an antidepressant train each more useless than the last and just tell you to cope
@@microaggressions have you actually gone through more than the first session (which is normally just an interview)? Yeah, therapy (specially psychoanalysis) is meant to go straight to the root cause, which is usually painful and can be seen as unnecessary at the beginning (trauma or intense angst produce memory loss often). I'd give it a try for a couple months before trying other options that do not go to the root cause (antidepressants, cognitive-behavioral therapy, self-help, etc) which are just "patches" imho.
@@ElsaBordelcum I lost count but my my charts app says that I have had exactly 9 therapists since I turned 18 and I've been to some of those for more than a year seeing them once a month most of the time. Either they come to the same unhelpful bottleneck or they switch hospitals.
@@microaggressions try weekly psychoanalysis and thank me later
This is one of the greatest pieces of art mankind has ever made. It's timeless, the meaning hits everyone the same. The older you get the more you will look at back things like this and go holy shit I didn't realize how well done that was. Thriller, Batman the animated series, mad max fury road are all up there with David or the sistene chapel,I'm nearly 41, my job is in organic chemistry, I'm one of the guys who makes the THC diamonds, I spent years in petrochemical, have my degrees in political science and history. The only reason I say all that is to add any kind of gravitas I can. It's a masterpiece.
I wish I was one of the guys who makes the THC diamonds. I also wish I wasn't a fucking LOSER who is so dysfunctional that I make graduating high school look as hard as becoming the leader of your country.
imagine flexing your education in art
cringe dude
minus anything that was part of Twin Peaks, this was the greatest thing ever aired on television
it's absolutely astonishing how a group of guys who aren't completely detached from reality like Lynch is could create something exactly as unearthly as what he makes is
Still not sure what this sketch means but every time I watch it I feel like I need to escape
Shit it's been 2 years since my last comment here lol
It means you get what you get yourself. No one’s coming to save you. If you keep saying it is what it is and expect things to improve by themselves you will sooner or later realize that is not happening
Probably means that turning the other cheek is a lie and playing by the rules of a system that hates you means you receive the obvious outcome
Been looking for this version for ages, thanks!
Welcome big guy.
I wish that I could personally give the guy that lost the audio of John singing a very firm and earnest handshake. The kind of handshake that gives a stunning impression, one he wouldn't soon forget.
I WANNA SHAKE YOUR HAND
I never “got” MDE humor for a long time. Now that I understand they’re not all supposed to be funny, I really enjoy watching the sketches.
It’s about not giving in to the person they try to make you in life, the box they try to put you in, although your in a prison outside of your power you won’t fold to become what you’re not, not letting them know how bad you are hurting not showing weakness, hence the anger shown alone in the last scene
Ignorance is bliss until it’s not
a work of art
This hits different when you watch it a year later
I think a part of what's going on here is that the character in white is the prisoner's potential self had he not let himself down and gone to prison. The man in white is a representation of the "life unlived" and he is screaming at the prisoner for not taking himself seriously, reminding him what he could have been. This could be in the literal sense that the prisoner could have been a singer of some sort (the two character rather look alike don't they) or it might simply mean that he never got to express his creative humanity in general. 3:15 looks like the singer is literally pleading him - why? At least that's what I read from this. Leave it to a comedy show to hit you with some FEELS outta nowhere, damn.
Holy shit
This masterpiece introduced me to John Maus who has been my favorite musical artist for the past several years.
Thanks for uploading this back to the website!
Ur welcome big buy. U have a beautiful upload yourself, thx.
Is John maus sporting an all-white tuxedo to help raise awareness about caucasian genocide?
he's raising awareness for semen retention
You guys who think hey moon fits better than cop killer are nuts!!!!! Just look at the interaction and emotion between Charles and John at the end of the skit, it fits about as perfectly as any two things that could be put together!!!!!
Agreed. I think ppl who think otherwise should be publicly h*nged.
I get it because most of those people did not see the original first but the edited one. I'm so lucky I saw this live it is a masterpiece
I never got a chance to catch MDE on AS. This was a great one.
you're gonna carry that weight
Goddamn this was beautiful 😂
Those push in shots that look like they are coming in from above are incredible
And that song is 🔥
If WP2 does actually get made, it'll really suck not having Charls. It's obvious that he wrote the best sketches and was the best actor in the production. No other sketch from any show ever hit this hard.
Thankfully Charls recently confirmed he’ll be back for World Peace 2
@@GunSperg I know we're so back
@@crawlzzz I don't keep up with Sam's new stuff frankly and I didn't even know WP2 is gonna be a thing. Where can I find more on it?

Wtf I've had this song on a chopped and screwed cassette forever and never knew who it was by or that it was in an mde sketch. Been watching a lot of those newer podcast clips with Sam and Nick lately and so this is just wild. Nice
I know there is a provocative, performance art element to their work, but I still feel like I’m not fully in on the joke. I don’t know what they actually stand for, I can just see them pointing out sacred cows. While I do generally feel confused more than anything by MDE, this sketch has connected with me deeply from the time I first saw it. Probably come back to it several times a year. I guess I’m fairly neurotic about wasting my life, and I think this articulates that fear beautifully. The idea that you wouldn’t even realise you’d wasted it until it’s too late, because you thought the tiny box you lived in was freedom. Man I have work tomorrow why did I watch this before trying to sleep 😂
Does anyone have the cut with Hey Moon instead of Cop Killer?
whats the song before that when theyre rolling the dice
