Hello everyone, welcome to another episode of TwoSet Violin.
Today, we're reviewing a very crinnnnnngy...movie?
I mean, they call themselves like a short film,
- Ah. - by this guy which...
...I'm sure some of you have heard before,
his name is Dhar Mann, cause he's DA MAN.
- Ha! - You know, just...preparing you guys for the cringe.
Yeah, we're starting the cringe now.
He decided to venture into the territory of music,
so being your Internet Violin Detectives,
we feel like we should watch this video.
What an opening!
Just one G major chord,
BAM! And then she stops playing.
And just air bows.
(onscreen) You're the guy who usually play's at Dharla's right?
- What the heck?! - Why?!
For those of you who are new to our channel,
let us introduce you to air bowing!
Where your bow is not touching the string!
It's literally touching air!
- It's...it's only two seconds, we gotta keep going. - Yeah, I know.
We can't judge it.
Can't judge it.
- Let me get my violin... - Yeah, get your...
That sound she did was a tuning sound, like...
...short strokes, on the string.
But [in] the video she's going...
...slow motion.
I thought we set this fact straight in 2019.
Dhar Mann! Clearly you need to watch our videos!
Why is there smoke? Where's the smoke coming from?
Her head's on fire!
She's representing all the actual musicians out there,
fuming like, "Oh my god."
How is that your competition?
She doesn't even play!
Like it's just air!
Also who wrote this script?
As a musician, I've never had someone come up to me,
and within five seconds go,
"You're really good."
"Oh, looks like you got competition."
What the...
- Are you trying to be nice, or you're trying to be an a**hole? - Yeah...
"Looks like you got competition."
Dude, the sound design is so off-putting.
[It] goes from super reverb,
which doesn't make sense because they're outdoors...
And then to...
Super dry and up-close.
No one says that.
We've busked a lot before when we were young,
never seen that happen.
Ooh...
I would rather be copyrighted, than have to act in that,
- that's just...oh my god. - Uh...
Yeah, I'd rather be copystriked.
Just...just take it!
OHH!!!
I thought there were so many things wrong,
and this guy just had to open his mouth,
and made it even worse!
I think this is the first time ever on our channel,
where the material is so bad, we are unable to roast
- 'cause our brains just melted from the stupidity, and also... - Dude, you just combusted.
'Cause there's so many things to say...
Look, even the Sacrilegious Boi made it easy for us.
- Dude, this makes Sacrilegious Boi look normal! - Yeah...!
It's like, one-year-olds fighting,
- and then the playing was like off-sync... - And then, um...
She was uh...
- Like she did some weird rhythm there...it was wrong. - She missed the notes, yeah.
What is with these smoke effects?
- (Brett) It's really... - It's really bothering, and...and his face looks so red.
I think the editor needs to know the difference
between anime and a real show.
Oh.
Even if his situation is worse,
doesn't mean he gets to kick her out!
Yeah!
She was there first, there's no law saying...
- ...you guys get the point. - Yeah.
Ohh, this...agh, this whole...agh!
(Brett) What I don't get is,
how did six million people watch it?
And look, look, #inspirational.
Ohhhhhhhhh!!!! That makes it even worse!!!
We're only two minutes in, and I already feel like I'm...
White flag, I've resigned, but let's keep going.
You know musicians have this conversation like this every day?
Yeah, me and Brett,
when we turn the video off we're like,
"Actually, I'm a better violinist."
Yeah, it's like, "Oh, I don't know, I'm..."
"[You're] half as good as me,
'cause you can play half the notes."
Can I just say,
- she's got the freaking rubber band setup as well? - Sponge, yeah.
- It looks like she's played violin, right? - Yeah, she's definitely not a pro violinist,
- but she definitely is not full-faking either, - Yes.
like she can play a little bit,
but then they got a air bow in the beginning though,
- it was just so random! - Yeah, why...why?
"We need the guy to talk on camera,
but we can't be bothered figuring out
how to capture the audio, so..."
Of course the chef starts conducting now, like...
Shouldn't you be in the kitchen, like, working?
- Bro. - He needs to...he needs to get over himself.
I mean, this whole script needs to get over itself.
I feel sorry for the actors in this.
There's so many layers of wrongness
to this whole thing, as we've established.
- At what level do we want to talk about this, you know? - Yeah...!
No musician would ever threaten to
break another musician's instrument, that's already...
- That's going too far! Yeah! - ...cardinal sin, you don't understand musicians.
- Oohhhhhhhhh-hoo! - Whoaaaaaaaa!
- Fascinating! - This is how two animals interact with each other!
(both) Wow!
Yeah, it really explains his character, right?
You know what they say,
the emptier you are, the louder you are.
But to be fair, it's kind of cheating when you bring an amp.
Let us be very clear, as a classical musician,
we spend half our time learning how to not just play music,
but projecting the music.
On a violin, you have to play closer to the bridge sometimes,
you have to keep a bit more weight,
you have to draw the sound out more in order for it—
HEY, BUT LOUDER IS BETTER!
Aw, s***.
Do you want my tips too?
Reminds me of those like people
that just get in an argument, and think by raising their voice
- their argument is more valid now. - Yeah, they're like,
"I'M TALKING LOUDER SO THEREFORE I'M MORE RIGHT!"
Oh, okay.
Wait, what just happened?
If you hold the instrument like that,
you still have to be careful!
We're not even gonna demonstrate it here, like...
She's holding it like this, right?
- (Eddy) And so this swung and hit it. - Yeah, it's normally the other way around, right?
- (Eddy) Normally it's like that. - Yes!
(Eddy) I recommend holding it like this.
- See how there's no touching? - (Eddy) Yeah.
And you can always use your right hand to
- grab the bow straight away. - Yeah, like that.
Pro tip!
This sounds like uh, America's Got Talent!
My sob story, ohh!
They're switching between like,
fighting to see who has more "talent",
to fighting to see who's louder,
and now to see whose situate—life situation's worse.
This is what we should do.
"Hey Dhar Mann, my life is so hard!
You should give us your subs and your views, man!"
"We need it more than you, man!"
Just...
We're kidding, by the way.
He's an Asian parent all of a sudden.
- Yeah! - "Back in my day..."
"I walked five hours to the rice farm!"
Actually, I already know where this is gonna go.
they're gonna decide, "Oh, why don't we play together?"
Make money, split the profits.
And then it's like, "Wow! Teamwork!"
We don't need 22 minutes to make this point.
Okay, so many things wrong,
but let me just say, you don't throw a nickel at someone.
Especially if they have an instrument.
Saying that, I did have someone throw
a 10 cent coin at me, and dented my violin on the scroll.
- Yeah, when we were busking once, I remember. - Yeah.
If there's any etiquette, any buskers,
don't throw money at them, yeah.
- Oh, look at his face! - Oh!
Took it really personally!
The actor looks like he's genuinely enjoying that bit.
- Dude, is there no other place in the whole town?! - Dude, it's the same place!
It's always that smoke, it's like...
"Hey boys, i just got a haze machine,
- I paid $800 for it, so I need to use it, - "Let's use it!"
- otherwise I wasted it." - It's like they're like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, just use it!"
- Wait, why is his guitar not in the case? - That's what I was gonna...that's what I was saying,
dude just rocked up without a case, 'cause he'll be like,
"I can't even afford a case!"
That's so...that's...
This whole thing's a joke!
Bro, that's the most degenerate thing I've seen in my life,
did you see that? He's like...
How about we all just hear each other out,
rather than trying to blame the world to be a better place.
You know what I just realised?
This title.
Oh! I just read...
Can we make this our...this video's title like that?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, this will be like... - We Watched the Cringiest Violin Video.
What Happens is...
(both) ...SHOCKING!!!
Ooh, ooh, ooh!!!
Hey I think this is for kids.
- No, it has...it has to be for kids. - It has to be for kids.
Then it makes sense, how many views as well.
- Even though... - Maybe some parents think like,
this has good messages,
- so they let their like, four-year-olds watch it on their iPad. - True, true.
But it's just, bro the script writing is so cringe.
We still...we just skipped like seven minutes,
they're still fighting.
Oh my goodness.
- Everyone in town just shows up. - Yeah, just rocks up 'cause you play a duet together.
W O W ! ! ! !
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
- I love that, that frame is just... - Mmm, mmm.
Beautiful shot.
Next time we're on a tour,
you guys better look like this...
...when we're playing.
If you're not, I'm...I'm walking outside, I'm like, "Bye."
I can't.
Oscars Awards, let's go.
The emotional damage I felt watching this was...
Oh this is pain—this is like,
beyond fascinating, it's just painful.
Anyway, everyone, I think this is it.
Besides the terrible violin playing, what did you guys think?
