There's another reason why the second half of their songs are much worse. Ray wanted to make a professionally produced YFM studio album. They were saving all their best ideas for it and would've gotten a mainstream release. Then Maker Studios wanted Johnson to sign a contract limiting access to AdSense while taking 40% of earnings from Equals Three. He would also have to give up 50% of intellectual property rights to the show and Your Favorite Martian. Ray refused, YFM was shut down, and the nearly completed album was never released. Edit: According to Ray, the album didn't actually get recorded and is non-existent. It was being planned, but production was canceled before they could even start.
And now they're back, because of one my ancient comments asking if they would come back got a bunch of likes the channel is now targeted at children now too
Now they’re back, I really hope the album is continued. To think what we could have had.. I know it probably won’t happen but it would be so satisfying if ray picked up where the album was left so we could have those ‘best ideas’
@@unleafed5038 I'd argue that much of the trash and poor quality from YFM was due to a lack of experience and professionalism. There are many reasons why so much beloved music is helmed by famous music producers. According to Jesse Cale, the album was supposed to be co-produced by the Dust Brothers and feature Jonathan Davis, Snoop Dogg, Miley Cyrus, Robyn, Mark Hamill, and other unconfirmed people from System of a Down and Linkin Park.

YFM is like if a bunch of fifth graders who just discovered the Internet in 2012, downloaded stock music, and then wrote lyrics together over Xbox Live chat
i just feel bad for brad in this video because he clearly went into it with an open mind... then his optimism slowly starts fading and quickly realizes how they have like one joke/style that they just run into the ground. props to you for being able to actually make it through, love this video.
Also IIRC the reason some YFM songs had a bunch of dislikes is because that even in 2011 it was clear they were running out of ideas, they had some early popular hits but kept trying to churn out new songs (i think they might've had an upload schedule? like every week or something). even 9 year old me was like, 'yeah, this shit is getting boring.'
this mirrors my experience as well, they were making these every week and mr douchebag was the arbitrary point i think public opinion finally turned on YFM
It's because of Maker Studios' demand of constant music. They were working on an album that I'm sure would blow all the stinkers out of the water. They're hit or miss, but when they hit they really hit.
I remember being in 4th grade when one of my friends introduced me to Orphan Tears, 8bit World and Tig Ol Bitties. the nostalgia alone puts a smile on my face, that's all I care about really
@@trollge3712 I'm saying that YFM being forced to make a song every week or two hurt the band in the long run. They were forced to go to covers because all their best ideas were being used for the album. It wound up being cancelled because Ray and Jesse got sick of Maker's shit and reluctantly left the project. They would've kept it going if they could, but Ray didn't own YFM. Maker did.

Also was this filmed before or after the video where you talked about how your life is going in a better direction? Because if it’s after then you’ll have to delete that video I’m sorry
I know a bit about YFM: The reason why Boom headshot was their last song is because they went looking for a label, and when they did the label wanted the band to change but RWJ said no and the project went into retirement but it seems that he has gotten the rights again and it’s trying to make a multi-verse.
if I remember correctly (and I might not, since I was 13 and english isn't my first language), but Mr. Douchebag has disapropriate dislikes because it was the first "bad" song. (yeah, most of them are bad, but like, significantly worse than the songs before) and if you notice, after summer 2011, they didn't make a single decent song. They had like 3 decent songs in them, and they stretched that into 30 tracks. Mostly because their fans were 13 and non-english like me and they ate up the funny references and animations like crazy.
I was actually a child when YFM came out so I feel like in some ways a lot of song I view with more nostalgia than anything else, I wonder if I was older during that period I probably would've seen it as corny. It was made for a middle school-esque era even back then, I can't even imagine people in high school or college finding the same appeal in it. And FYI, even as a kid 10 years ago I thought transphobic techno sucked and I think most people shared that opinion. At least a few of the songs were a little clever but that was lacking in every sense. YFM is like a time capsule to a certain era in the 2010s, now looking back a decade after most of these songs aged like milk.
YFM at one point was the most subscribed music channel on youtube, and they did ridiculous numbers.. they have been gone for a decade. Say what you want as an individual, but they did numbers. EDIT : Also they did 1 million sales on iTunes.
@@notyepper kay, they were still only relevant since the dude was number 1 on the plattform. And music always gets replayed. Its not a matter of quality
Tbh, I'm starting to realize (atleast in my opinion) Your favorite martian is realize hit or miss. When it hits, it can be really cool. Ex: Orphan Tears, Robot Bar Fight, Stalking Your Mom and Balls(not the alt rock cover you reviewed). But when it misses, it REALLY misses. Ex: Booty Store, Dookie Fresh, Epileptic Techno. Also, the songs sound weirdly similar in a way? Idk how to describe it
RWJ possesses some of the most poorly aged music of all time, not that it had anything of value going for it when it came out. Joke songs don't have to be bad. Danny Gonzalez and Tiny Meat Gang are examples of this, in addition to being examples of good youtuber music
Some of the worst ones aren't even available anymore. Epileptic techno, tig ole biddies, and the stereotypes song were among the worst. Not even to mention the dreaded transphobic techno
I have memories of listening to Zombie Love Song way back in the day, which I think speaks -- if only slightly -- to its quality, because the rest of their songs have either left no impact on me or have been summarily repressed.
The Mike Posner "feature" was a remix of his song authorised by his label. Mike's song is terrible, so so is this. As for My Balls (Alt Rock), it's a cover of their own song that is way worse than the original. The project didn't end because of the quality of the songs, though. It ended because of abuse from Maker Studios, the same abuse that caused their music to dip in quality. They had a lot of potential, but it had to be a new song either every week or every fortnight. Eventually they couldn't take it anymore and just gave up. Maker kept the rights because it's a corporation dedicated to making money, even when it hurts the creators who made them that money.
Nah, whilst I sympathise that they were treated poorly, they were never going to produce anything of value. A dip in quality? it was never good to begin with. RWJ's voice & writing are just terrible
@@ThePhantom4516 I disagree, I think Ray's pretty damn good considering. He always gives it his all and his lyrics can be clever and flow well. It's not high art or anything, but it's enjoyable music that sounds good.
I can’t stand how everyone keeps using the original band name. It’s “THIS PROJECT IS RETIRED” now! Not “Your Favorite Martian!” Edit: Misplaced punctuation
i feel like jupiter is so good because it doesn’t sound like a YFM song. like, take any other song and you get an unbelievably offensive video with subpar visuals and RWJ’s sometimes unbearable voice, but Jupiter seems like an actual song, like it seems like something daft punk would of produced
I think it's fine to acknowledge how shit some songs are and at the same time enjoy them in a "guilty pleasure" way. But hard agree on how the quality dropped off towards the end. In any case, I'd be really curious what you think about the new songs he released recently, and Ill keep enjoying the ones I do. I really liked your take on the whole thing
This might be a hot take, but even though YFM's attempts at humor fall flat more often than not, I think they're pretty good at writing hooks and choruses.
I just realized brad watched these on his channel instead of a guest account screwing up his recommendations. Bigger balls than me if I was to do this video concept.
I've got bad news for you, RWJ has made a comeback with the TH-cam Shorts and he's having millions of views again. I know...it sounds like a joke, but it isn't.
“I should hate this but I’m entertained” is basically a perfect descriptor of your favorite martian. It’s terrible. It’s awful. It’s offense… and yet… there’s something remarkable about the specific ways it’s terrible
as much as i despise yfm, i have like, 3 things i kinda like about them 1. the drummer's character design is pretty alright 2. the tig ol bitties chorus is kinda catchy 3. the first speaking part of the sterotype song is very funny to me for some reason. not the actual song, just what ray says before the music starts
I was so happily surprised to see this be a topic of a video, considering both Equals Three and YFM were a part of my young zillenial internet upbringing. Some of these songs I haven’t heard in years, and yet they came back just like that! I mean, they’re all absolutely terrible and I cannot believe that some of these tracks even exist, but WOW the nostalgia! Tbh, I still kinda fukc with Club Villian. It was the only one of those “reference a bunch of shit” songs that actually felt fun for me, and DeStorm’s feature was the best of any YFM feature I’ve heard. The absolute WORST is the Stereotype Song. Even Phobic Techno is kind of hilarious to sing in ironic hindsight (for context, I am trans), but Stereotype song is just…… uuuuuuggghhh…. Great Video Bradlo :) loving these reaction vids
It’s sad when some of their “best” songs, like Just A Friend, are straight up covers of existing songs. That being said, WOW, that Love the Way You Lie cover is one of the worst things I’ve ever heard
thanks to your videos i've discovered ajr - woody allen and me and my brother cannot stop listening to the intro and i cannot stop crying of laughter so thank you
I was a huge RWJ fan back when I was like 12 and I was super into a few of these YFM songs. Some I hated even then, but I have nostalgia for some of the ones I liked. I think the thing is... You're exactly right. This is for edgy 12 year old boys. But I think they knew that. RWJ knew his audience. He was making this shit for edgy kids who were outcasts. Its not really meant to be profound or good lol. And its very of its time, which hurts it a decade later.
I'll admit some of these songs are a guilty pleasure for me. This isn't McDonald's of music. This is the deep fried Oreo of music. Judge me all you wish. You're not wrong.
agreed i don't care if your favorite martian is cringe now i still fucking love their music and will continue to listen to the tracks because i can do what ever the HELL I WANT
That FFYR one is such a spit on MCA's grave it hurts, I thought YFM was ok and funny for a few songs but when I listened to most of the tracks it hurt more and more to hear them. Can't believe you survived the torture lol, I couldn't handle half of it.
"Why bring out a candle when you don't even care to see the light" Man that gave me so much second-hand embarrassment my lips got dry and wrinkly like the rest of my body💀
9:48 That might have something to do with the fact that that particular song became a meme a couple of years ago, so a lot more people who weren't fans of it probably had exposure to it than normal.
tbf, douchbag vocoded to gangsters paradise slaps way more than any of YFM's songs ever could originally. and ngl, we need someone to remake the vocoded version as a legit track.
After seeing this I decided to listen to Take Over Da World Honestly the first time I listened to it in full I found the chorus obnoxious but I actually liked the rest of the song Then I listened to it a few more times and it grew on me a lot I genuinely enjoy a lot of awful music so I'd rate it a personal 9/10 and from a less personal and more objective standpoint probably a 5/10, 7/10 with a less obnoxious chorus
i had someone flirt with me by sending your favorite martian is. he was really pushing and saying “‘complicated’ is so us” a d i wanted to throw out my headphones.
exactly, and this is coming from a new fan. some of their songs aren't even objectively meh, for example, jupiter is basically an objectively good song. and even if people dislike yfm, i dont understand just wanting it to burn to the ground and perish, i dont understand the spite that people build up for yfm. while a lot of their songs arent necessarily good in an objective sense, people just act like it is the worst thing that has ever been introduced to the earths surface.
same, i swear so many people are way too harsh on yfm, and they overstate the offensiveness of it, people continuously call it racist, homophobic, transphobic, edgy, but it's not that bad. i can understand disliking yfm, but some people want it destroyed or something.
I didn't realize this was uploaded today because I've been binging your old stuff, so i thought I'd leave an encouraging comment. I like the inside jokes that are starting to grow here :) also as a trans person, transphobic techno is so tasteless that it wraps back around to being kinda funny to me
I hate to admit that I used to unironically like YFM. 🤦🏿 But that was back in 2011-12. I haven't heard from them since until this video and, my goodness wtf was wrong with me. Those yawns throughout the video, I felt those lol 😆

@@bluraynation5188 Yep. Purely nostalgia.
YFM is the music equivalent of the moldy cheese from Dairy of a Wimpy Kid
I don't think so
Does this count as self endangerment?
Yeah
Lol every comment is like this one
Fun fact, this is a re creation of the torture in the twelfth layer of hell
Some of the worst ones aren't even available anymore. Epileptic techno, tig ole biddies, and the stereotypes song were among the worst. Not even to mention the dreaded transphobic techno
The Stereotypes song rules though.
Tig Ol' Bitties is still around. the YFM channel recently reuploaded stuff.
@@rommix0 so is epileptic techno
@@ddddddsssseeee and the stereotypes song
He’s reuploaded them.
Carly rae William Johnson is the best artist since the Beatles.
For one, he isn’t a winged insect like them
I have memories of listening to Zombie Love Song way back in the day, which I think speaks -- if only slightly -- to its quality, because the rest of their songs have either left no impact on me or have been summarily repressed.
fun fact, the cancelled your favorite martian album featured mike shinoda of linkin park, snoop dogg, and miley cyrus (yes, really)
I watched YFM music videos as a kid and would very much like them to stay in the early 2010s/late 2000s where they belong.
The Mike Posner "feature" was a remix of his song authorised by his label. Mike's song is terrible, so so is this.
As for My Balls (Alt Rock), it's a cover of their own song that is way worse than the original.
The project didn't end because of the quality of the songs, though. It ended because of abuse from Maker Studios, the same abuse that caused their music to dip in quality. They had a lot of potential, but it had to be a new song either every week or every fortnight. Eventually they couldn't take it anymore and just gave up. Maker kept the rights because it's a corporation dedicated to making money, even when it hurts the creators who made them that money.
Nah, whilst I sympathise that they were treated poorly, they were never going to produce anything of value. A dip in quality? it was never good to begin with. RWJ's voice & writing are just terrible
@@ThePhantom4516 I disagree, I think Ray's pretty damn good considering. He always gives it his all and his lyrics can be clever and flow well. It's not high art or anything, but it's enjoyable music that sounds good.
@@ThePhantom4516 omg they are legit meme songs stop digging ure in china my guy they were catchy toons ure hating just shows ure ignorance
I can’t stand how everyone keeps using the original band name. It’s “THIS PROJECT IS RETIRED” now! Not “Your Favorite Martian!”
Edit: Misplaced punctuation
It's alright now
Please consider an Epic Rap Battles tier list.
I will always say that Jupiter is an amazing song. They didn’t age well but Jupiter is an absolute banger. One of my legit favorite songs of all time.
Jupiter was my favourite song by them when I was a weird kid that liked YFM.
i feel like jupiter is so good because it doesn’t sound like a YFM song. like, take any other song and you get an unbelievably offensive video with subpar visuals and RWJ’s sometimes unbearable voice, but Jupiter seems like an actual song, like it seems like something daft punk would of produced
Bro?
jupiter is an s tier Martian song. i will always love it
I think it's fine to acknowledge how shit some songs are and at the same time enjoy them in a "guilty pleasure" way. But hard agree on how the quality dropped off towards the end. In any case, I'd be really curious what you think about the new songs he released recently, and Ill keep enjoying the ones I do. I really liked your take on the whole thing
This might be a hot take, but even though YFM's attempts at humor fall flat more often than not, I think they're pretty good at writing hooks and choruses.
"i'm getting this really neurodivergent fuckin ridiculous feeling from all this crap" ahaha quote of the decade so far
As someone who grew up on your favourite Martian, this hurts my soul to even read the title
Ah shit dude, I love Gorillaz
Lmfao
I just realized brad watched these on his channel instead of a guest account screwing up his recommendations. Bigger balls than me if I was to do this video concept.
20:00 the only good santa diss track is “im gonna kill santa claus” by danny gonzales
i think it’s wild that i remember seeing your favorite martian on tv. i will say that zombie love song slaps though
The YFM TV videos on TH-cam, such as "YFM on Adult Swim 2009," are all fake
Its hot garbage and thats why i love it. Too much nostalgia for me to hate it
I think this perfectly sums it up
Exactly this
Nostalgia is the only thing stopping me from disliking it
Love seeing this video pop up - Thanks Brad
Also Zombie love song slaps
The fact that Brad is enjoying Your Favorite Martian than half the albums he reacts to makes me question humanity
nvm
you say that with a bladee album as pfp 🤔

It genuinely worries me we live in a world where people thought Ray William Johnson was funny
Some of YFM's song are funny in a ironic way. "Mr Douchebag" being a good example of such song.
equals three was quite a nice format ...
I've got bad news for you, RWJ has made a comeback with the TH-cam Shorts and he's having millions of views again. I know...it sounds like a joke, but it isn't.
@@Mantinhas His shorts are really funny though.
My brother used to watch rwj, I think the main point of his success was the time it was made and the audience being 12-14 year olds.
“I should hate this but I’m entertained” is basically a perfect descriptor of your favorite martian. It’s terrible. It’s awful. It’s offense… and yet… there’s something remarkable about the specific ways it’s terrible
as much as i despise yfm, i have like, 3 things i kinda like about them
1. the drummer's character design is pretty alright
2. the tig ol bitties chorus is kinda catchy
3. the first speaking part of the sterotype song is very funny to me for some reason. not the actual song, just what ray says before the music starts
I was so happily surprised to see this be a topic of a video, considering both Equals Three and YFM were a part of my young zillenial internet upbringing. Some of these songs I haven’t heard in years, and yet they came back just like that! I mean, they’re all absolutely terrible and I cannot believe that some of these tracks even exist, but WOW the nostalgia!
Tbh, I still kinda fukc with Club Villian. It was the only one of those “reference a bunch of shit” songs that actually felt fun for me, and DeStorm’s feature was the best of any YFM feature I’ve heard.
The absolute WORST is the Stereotype Song. Even Phobic Techno is kind of hilarious to sing in ironic hindsight (for context, I am trans), but Stereotype song is just…… uuuuuuggghhh….
Great Video Bradlo :) loving these reaction vids
This is even more of a worse punishment than waterboarding
Damn i love Jupiters ending wish you didnt skip it
same i got pretty upset about that
i think Molester Moon might be better tbh
nothing on fucking earth could ahve prepared me for "featuring mike posner"
Damn why would they annihilate High Voltage with a cover like that???
It’s sad when some of their “best” songs, like Just A Friend, are straight up covers of existing songs. That being said, WOW, that Love the Way You Lie cover is one of the worst things I’ve ever heard
thanks to your videos i've discovered ajr - woody allen and me and my brother cannot stop listening to the intro and i cannot stop crying of laughter so thank you
Bro I feel like you have an attention span of a goldfish
Every live streamer
Are you saying this as a genuine criticism? Or do you just disagree with the opinion?
This is an abridged version, its not a full vod or anything so he does listen to most of the song
I was a huge RWJ fan back when I was like 12 and I was super into a few of these YFM songs. Some I hated even then, but I have nostalgia for some of the ones I liked.
I think the thing is... You're exactly right. This is for edgy 12 year old boys. But I think they knew that. RWJ knew his audience. He was making this shit for edgy kids who were outcasts. Its not really meant to be profound or good lol. And its very of its time, which hurts it a decade later.
I'll admit some of these songs are a guilty pleasure for me. This isn't McDonald's of music. This is the deep fried Oreo of music. Judge me all you wish. You're not wrong.
I’ll admit, if I want a goofy thing that isn’t by a good artist I’ll listen to something like club villain.
now I need a video of Brad listening and reacting to every ERB song. Some of those are kinda bangers tbh.
I wont lie i love all these songs. I know they are objectively bad but idc i enjoyed as a younger kid and still do a little
agreed i don't care if your favorite martian is cringe now i still fucking love their music and will continue to listen to the tracks because i can do what ever the HELL I WANT
That FFYR one is such a spit on MCA's grave it hurts, I thought YFM was ok and funny for a few songs but when I listened to most of the tracks it hurt more and more to hear them. Can't believe you survived the torture lol, I couldn't handle half of it.
Legitimately the worst music I've ever heard. But I love it
Some of this is so bad that my brain doesn't even process it as music
Mr. Douchebag is so hated because the version vocoded to Gangster Paradise sounds so much fucking better
"Why bring out a candle when you don't even care to see the light"
Man that gave me so much second-hand embarrassment my lips got dry and wrinkly like the rest of my body💀
9:48
That might have something to do with the fact that that particular song became a meme a couple of years ago, so a lot more people who weren't fans of it probably had exposure to it than normal.
forget weezer
this is the most virgin band to listen to
Weezer is amazing
tbf, douchbag vocoded to gangsters paradise slaps way more than any of YFM's songs ever could originally. and ngl, we need someone to remake the vocoded version as a legit track.
Bro complains about the smallest details 💀
After seeing this I decided to listen to Take Over Da World
Honestly the first time I listened to it in full I found the chorus obnoxious but I actually liked the rest of the song
Then I listened to it a few more times and it grew on me a lot
I genuinely enjoy a lot of awful music so I'd rate it a personal 9/10 and from a less personal and more objective standpoint probably a 5/10, 7/10 with a less obnoxious chorus
I love most of his songs TBH. Really glad YFM is coming back.

EXACTLYY BRO THE GUY IN THE VIDEO MADE ME SO MADDDD
The channel is called THIS PROJECT IS RETIRED 😂
not anymore
going through all of those songs makes a man lose his sanity faster than not sleeping for a month
i had someone flirt with me by sending your favorite martian is. he was really pushing and saying “‘complicated’ is so us” a d i wanted to throw out my headphones.
Damn you really dissed robot bar fight. That’s my childhood man…
Grandma's got a Facebook has genuinely made me laugh and it's one of the only times I've laughed at YFM. DJ's parts absolutely make it
you are a damn trooper for this
After all these years YFM is officially back, they just put out a new song.
I love how your ADHD is so bad that in your responses to literally every song it has the "It's boring"
Or it's an excuse
He's right tho
get ready, because they’re making a comeback LMAO.
Look, alien and road rage are unironically good and I’m tired of pretending it’s not
YFM gets way to much hate honestly, I will die on this hill.
based
exactly, and this is coming from a new fan. some of their songs aren't even objectively meh, for example, jupiter is basically an objectively good song. and even if people dislike yfm, i dont understand just wanting it to burn to the ground and perish, i dont understand the spite that people build up for yfm. while a lot of their songs arent necessarily good in an objective sense, people just act like it is the worst thing that has ever been introduced to the earths surface.
Ahhh so many memories make it stoppp.
Orphan Tears low key slaps tho
I unironically like YFM...
After watching this, I feel like a criminal for liking it
Same

same, i swear so many people are way too harsh on yfm, and they overstate the offensiveness of it, people continuously call it racist, homophobic, transphobic, edgy, but it's not that bad. i can understand disliking yfm, but some people want it destroyed or something.
Rip Bradley. You will be missed😔
I don’t think he realizes that these songs are supposed to be cheesy, nerdy and offensive, it’s titled “meme rap” for a reason.
fr and he shouldve listened to alien unplugged
It’s cheesy, nerdy and offensive, but it’s just not funny
Unrelated, you look really great in glasses
I love Brad’s face when starting a song that he doesn’t know what to expect, but he knows that it’ll be ass.
I didn't realize this was uploaded today because I've been binging your old stuff, so i thought I'd leave an encouraging comment. I like the inside jokes that are starting to grow here :)
also as a trans person, transphobic techno is so tasteless that it wraps back around to being kinda funny to me
You should’ve done The StereoType Song, it’s straight hell to listen to.
This title scares me, thanks Brad, I believe in you!
I hate to admit that I used to unironically like YFM. 🤦🏿 But that was back in 2011-12. I haven't heard from them since until this video and, my goodness wtf was wrong with me. Those yawns throughout the video, I felt those lol 😆
I liked them ironically aside from Jupiter.
Cringe
