Hey guys! If you aren't aware, this series spawned out of someone making an Instagram account where they posted the original Mikaeli meme every day. After a while, I decided to get involved and change things up a bit. There will be more Mikaeli content to come (and I'll start putting it on TH-cam), but as the most recent episode felt almost like the end of 'season 1', I thought I'd post a complilation of the eps so far to kick things off on here.
Yeah, you did the right thing by taking over the crowds from those meme pages who clearly just do it to farm followers and view, and create your own spin to the meme since you're the original creator of that comedy clips. However it is still very funny, that your meme account has more follower than your main Instagram account
He seems a bit too okay with the fact hes trapped in a time loop and takes around a whole month to finally get tired of hitting metal every day and only then he wants two picture instead of leaving.
The fact that a random 50 year old looking guy on an old gameshow with big 80s Soviet aesthetic banging a hammer onto a thin piece of metal on an anvil gave me so much adrenaline, hope, dread, happiness, sadness, a whole cinematic experience on Day 66 is sublime.
funfact the show is/was called "wetten dass" its a german tv show where people make bets that they can do things like hitting the metal 17 times in 30 seconds or that they can jump above a car
This entire thing was legitimately one of the most innovative storyline concepts I've seen in a long time. Turning the overdone and lazy follower farming format of "[video] every day" into a legitimately compelling ARG existential horror is brilliant.
@@bonehead7642 oh wait ı thought it meant they were still in the loop and if you investigate you will be kept in the loop but that does make more sense
Imagine if this was a looping twitch stream of the first short playing 24 hours a day but it'd randomly play one of the other vids, then go right back to the original vid. It'd drive people insane & ARG solvers mad
The part where he wakes up and (who I assume is) Samantha asks him for the passcode for vault 3 before putting him back to sleep was so strangely unnerving.
It's because of how little she seems to care about the torture this man has had to endure, putting him back to sleep while smugly saying "Thank youuu~"
2:00. If you watched the whole series, you'd know that Sasha, the host, sold his life away to veil, that phone call could have been his sick mother (who might have gotten better) telling veil to waske Sasha up. This is just a theory, I have no access to the patreon and I'm in an African country that doesn't use dollars, so I'm working with what I have
This is a masterpiece. The emotional investment I had in this shouldn't be possible from a video spawned off a 10 second bit. I was just looking for a laugh and you gave me an existential thriller on the level of a Meow Wolf production. Excellent work!
The moment i saw the altered video on instagram that day, i went nuts. I got all my friends hooked on this journey of Micheal Lee or Mikaeli. Great work.
I must say, youre extreamly underated, even though youre close to a milion subs I cant help but think that you deserve more. Your shorts were funny and interesting. And I would say that this... Psychological horror 9 minute film is of the same quality. Good luck on your future projects, whatever they might be.
I just realized that I know what Mikaeli is doing. He's doing an blacksmith-trick where he hits a piece of metal enough times that it heats up so he can use it to light a fire.
7:21 ... I like the indignation with Grigor. "Grigor!? ... No! Stop!" like don't "hit it" with the music , what team are you rooting for here man we are trying for him NOT to overstim!
6:30 "If you have dietary requirements please keep them to yourself. Canteen food is cheap for a reason so please don't complain." It's so fun to jump around frame by frame and find all the little funny bits in parts of the story 8:37 "User: Goodnight Sam :)" eugh that's so creepy and so cool
This is so good. The decent into disturbing analogue horror caught me really off guard. Had me looking over my shoulder in my house. That go back to sleep bit at 02:53 ......shivers
Adrien i gotta say, this was one of the greatest series ive ever watched and im so proud of being one of the early supporters if i can say that. Im so hyped for season 2 and other things you cook. Cheers Partner!
It's called cold forging it's because the metal is so thin that the friction and force generates heat and can't cool down fast enough Or something to that accord
For anyone interested in the real story behind this: This clip is from the first episode of the (west) German TV show "Wetten, dass..." ("Let's bet on...") aired on 14th of february 1981 live from Düsseldorf. The concept is basically that a person says they can do something extraordinary live and the (more or less) famous guests bet weather they believe he actually can do it. "Mikaeli"s real name is Matthias Heuel, a smith from Attendorn. His bet was that he can hit a cold bar of steel with a normal hammer to get it to glow red hot so that the showmaster, Frank Elstner, can light a cigarette with it. He actually managed to do it in 40 hits. Apparently this was the talk in the german speaking countries and, according to Elstner, was the foundation for Wetten, dass... becoming one of the most popular TV shows in europe with over 200 episodes running from 1981 to 2014 and a revival in 2021.
This is the first Analog Horror that managed to be both creepy and utterly hillarious at the same time. For this, you shall be rewarded with......photograph of motorcar!
I just realized the bit at the beginning doesn’t make sense with the rest, unless it’s a fakeout? The older self is trapped, and Sasha tells him that he can escape even though he should be discouraging him
He dident gamble all the money, the company is just missing something Mikaeli is torturing people to find. Its a Simulation the only real people Are Sasha and mikaeli

5:20 and when he says “everyone in time loop” may link to an unknown chapter of many people being trapped in the time loop aswell.
