-- So, err
I think last time we were making this announcement it was
Christmas Day
and we'd just hit fifty thousand (50 000) subscribers
and we had said
"I don't know, maybe we could get to, like, one hundred by the end of the year or something"
I mean, I said a million, but I meant a hundred thousand
and it's been
five months,
-- Yeah.
-- and we have
doubled the number of people
since the last time we'd made this announcement.
and that took us five years.
*Kyle (far right) laughs audibly*
-- It was more than five.
It was like six or seven.
--Okay, right... yeah, I mean...
Yeah, because we...
The channel just turned, like, ten, yo- like,
but we didn't start posting videos
so it's like we're a solid seven years into White Lightning "being a thing".
and
but... like
half of you came in the last five months
and that's incredible. And I don't understand.
and, yup, that's a lot of people.
-- Yes, it is.
-- Yay!
-- We did it, we hit a hundred thousand subscribers,
which is an insane number of anything.
--That is a tenth of a million.
*realisation strikes*
-- Wow, it is. That's wierd.
-- That is a tenth of a million.
and it's 98 814 people more than I think we deserve.
Probably.
-- Also if you go look up pictures on the internet of fifty thousand people,
you will be amazed that it is double the amount of those people.
-- That is a crazy amount.
--I did that once
It's a lot of people.
and then it is now doubled
because I did that back when you had fifty thousand.
-- Right.
-- And then I sent you pictures.
and I was like, "Look, fifty thousand people!"
-- I still remember doing, like
it was actually like, just a little bit over a year ago that it was 10K week.
-- Right, and that was crazy too.
-- So for all of that to happen within a year's span is like we're celebrating this annually.
-- So my marker for this number is
Like,Ancient Rome, at its height:
about a million people
We have a tenth of Ancient Rome.
Huh.
*general celebratory and realisation noises*
-- Wow.
That's pretty great!
-- Last time I was going to Ireland, when we were hitting 10k,
so I think that we could go on a trip overseas now.
-- Yes.
-- That's a good idea.
-- Also, I maybe need to leave the country real fast,
for no reason.
-- I think the appropriate thing to say is, "Thank you all so very much,
for coming and subscribing to us and watching all of our ridiculous videos."
-- And for those of you who are just getting here,
thank you too!
-- Yeah
-- Thank you!
-- Thanks for just now joining us and continuing to make our community even bigger and more awesome
-- If you decided, "Hey, I bet you they've been working on it for a long time and they've...
done the slow, steady climb
up through the seventies
and the eighties
and the nineties to get here,
I'm sure it's worth it!"
Well, we'll try and make it that way!
-- I still remember being at a job, and going like,
"You know what, I'm gonna try this for one year,
so at the end of the year, if it still doesn't work, I can at least be like,
'I gave it, I tried it to my fullest extent,'
and I could move on happily."
-- I was not that way.
I was saying, "We need to do weekly videos because I need to be a millionaire movie producer,
because otherwise I'm gonna die in a gutter with my poetic genius being unappreciated."
-- Now, two and a half years later, we have 100 000 subscribers which is freaking ridiculous!
and we're gonna get, like, a cool plaque,
and probably secret access to special YouTube clubs,
where they still continue to not pay attention to us
-- Wouldn't it be great if we didn't have to have ads or something?
Why don't we get YouTube Red? Shouldn't we get YouTube Red? Why don't we do that?
-- People have YouTube Red and we get money off of that somehow
-- I know, but I wanted it so I wouldn't have to listen to... *tired grumbling*
-- Rest assured,
so things that will change:
we will keep making bigger and better things.
-- That's not changing.
That's the same thing.
*Kyle attempts to argue, fails.*
You can't say, "Things that are gonna change..." and then say, "We're gonna keep on..."
Grammar doesn't work that way!
Well, grammar does, semantics don't.
-- Like, new things, big things! Series and stuff!
We gotta go do like big things
Things that won't change:
We will continue to not be good at YouTubing,
-- That's a promise.
-- Keep subscribing to us anyway and keep like donating on Patreon
and you're amazing because of that.
-- And next time we do this we'll have Ethan here, we promise.
-- So, yeah, actual, important part of this video.
This is the announcement for 100k week!
*WOOOOO!*
-- That's what we should have started with.
-- Right, yeah.
This isn't it, we're not just doing this for a hundred thousand subscribers
'cause that would be really lame.
We have an entire week planned out, assuming that...
-- It's just me talking to the camera with nobody else.
-I would love that -- How great, how, like, awesome would it be
if we didn't actually hit it like -
if for some reason it would just slow down...
Oh my God!
*laughs* -Start losing subscribers
We have a whole week coming out,
we've got like several, like surprise sketches
and like little-
-- Well, not anymore!
-- Well, okay, they're not a surprise
We've got several sketches as normal.
Along with like a special Community Comments,
and a few other things in the middle of the week when normally nothing comes out
Which are like, just special little vignette feature videos that we decided to do for celebration
--Any- They all seemed like a good idea at the time
--Yes. It's a different video everyday, rather than, like- like a mini series like last time.
And then the following Monday we have a-an even bigger celebration stance.
That's like the grand finale
So it's actually gonna be 6 days worth of stuff, not just 5
I think that basically covers everything though,
Um, tune in next week to see all the cool stuff.
And thank you soo much again for getting us to this point, and for spreading the word,
All of- everybody who's like helped contribute to the community
And done subtitles ( :D) , and the Wiki page, and the TV-
--The Tropes page. And just paying attention to us, actually, is pretty cool.
And all, like- I... it's super weird.
--Thank you so much to everybody on our Patreon --Yeah
Because... Because of that we're able to do this full tim- or I'm able to do this full time.
And have... and then uh, spend more time convincing everybody else to do it with me
So. Uh, Yeah.
It's been- It's been amazing, and I'm super excited for everything else that's gonna come afterwards.
So, Thank you very much.
I don't- I can keep on saying that over and over and it won't ever be enough, soooo...
--Hey DoorMonster.
--I guess... --You're pretty good.
--We'll uh, We'll see you on Monday with day one of 100k week.
