- (FBE) So today, we have a game just for you.
- For TheOdd1sOut or for all the other YouTubers?
- (FBE) Just you. - Are you serious?
- (FBE) Mm-hm. - Okay.
Are you just saying that or are you saying that to every--
whatever. I'll listen.
- (FBE) Nope, this is just for you.
So, we are actually going to be showing you
the top ten most viewed videos on your channel.
- Wha-- okay, I can--
I think-- I know, I'll know it.
This'll be fun. - (FBE) So, while you're
watching, you can start placing them in the order
you think is correct on this whiteboard
we're gonna give you. And you've done one
of these games with us before, correct?
The whole whiteboard thing? - Yeah, with the whiteboard thing,
but the thing is that I don't check my most popular.
This should be good, 'cause it'll be 20%
of all my videos. - (FBE) Ready for the first one?
- Let's do it.
- (James) Jeff, you have the board.
- This was James'-- wait, can I point out
easter eggs in this? The numbers on the board,
it says 420, 'cause that's the weed number,
69, and then 5.14. A lot of people don't know
what that is. That is my birthday, May 14.
...James's first career choice
before his YouTube channel kicked off.
Oh, I know this one. What is a male prostitute?
Okay, the bit's done now. Male prostitute was never
on the ta-- it wasn't completely
off the table. You never know how
YouTube will turn out. If you didn't know
TheOdd1sOut trivia, I wanted to be a math teacher
when I grew up.
- (James) I chose a math teacher as my
- "I'll settle for this" job. Okay.
All right, well that's not number one.
The teacher video always-- it got popular.
I think it's number six. I wanna cover this bottom part,
so I can try and guess the title.
- (James) Hey England. - My Thoughts on Sports.
This sport "football" and this sport "soccer."
[mumbling] We do, we do. Well tip top cheerios.
[inaudible] God save the Queen.
- (James) What did I just say? - This is such a bad video.
- (James) Either you love them, - Here's another 420.
- (James) Or you have some other third opinion.
- This was back in 2016 when every video I made
just knocked it out of the park. Sports, number seven.
- (James) Top Ten Things... - Keep me awake at night.
Number ten. Eating sugary snacks--
whatever. ...goes through the roof.
Sorry, I just can't help myself.
- (James) I love a good cookie dipped in hot--
- You probably don't notice this, but I kinda changed
the character design, the eyes on my old guys
had really tall eyes, really tall skinny ones,
and now they're more circles, so I look at that,
I'm just like, "The eyes are gross."
Number nine, death and existentialism.
This one did get popular. - (James) Unless the internet's
still around by then. - I think that one...
2516 and also, don't forget me.
I'm gonna write down ten things-
Top Ten Things That Keep Me Awake at Night,
I'm gonna put that as number five.
- ♪ It's such a beautiful day The sun's shining ♪
♪ In a beautiful way Gonna take a shower ♪
♪ Brush my teeth and ♪
- (Dave) Life is ultimately meaningless.
- ♪ But I'll get out of the house Get on the road ♪
♪ Top down, hands out Put on my favorite song ♪
♪ And nod to the rhythm ♪ The planet's being destroyed
by your carbon emissions. One thing I should mention
in that video is I forgot to put a seat belt on the character
and I got so many comments being like,
"Where's his seat belt?" And I was just like,
I forgot it. That one I actually did check
because I was like, is this my most popular video?
And it wasn't. It was number four.
The Sooubway ones haven't come yet.
There it is. Number one.
It's called Sooubway. I called it Sooubway as a joke
and then literally the very next time I said "Subway"
because I was like, that was the joke.
The joke's done. It's Sooubway, Subway,
but then a bunch of people were commenting Sooubway.
Basically, I didn't plan for it to be a meme,
but then that became a meme and everyone is now like,
"You're at Sooubway."
- (James) I don't know why I'm about to complain
about it to you guys. - We got free cookies.
...the comic with Subways in hell?
I was actually working at Sooub-- yeah, see?
For the rest of the videos, I called it "Subway."
I always wondered why that video was my most popular.
Whenever people are talking about YouTube and they say
they wanna start a YouTube channel,
they'll be like, "I wanna do it, but I'm not that interesting."
And I always tell them, "My most popular video
is about when I was working at Sooubway,
so you don't need to be interesting."
And another thing about Sooubway is that people keep asking
for a Sooubway 4, but it's like, I don't work there
anymore, you guys. I'm not making any more
new stories.
Annoying Customers. - (James) About 80%
of the customers were fine. - Fine.
- (James) Sometimes, they would do something that would just
personally annoy me. - Two.
- (James) Like ask for a meatball on flatbread,
so don't feel too bad for me. Like sometimes people
would ask me... - Can I get a turkey
with lettuce, tomato. And I'm--
whoa, slow down. What kind of bread?
Foot long or six inch? What kind of cheese?
Is it toasted? Then we'll get to vegetables.
Yeah, I still got it. Anyway, I put it at number two
while we were talking.
- (James) You wanna know something sad?
- Sooubway-- shoot.
Sooubway three is at six or seven.
- (James) Actually working at Sooubway for over a year.
- So here we go. Sooubway Part 3, baby.
I still have more to say. I used to work there,
in case you didn't know that. - (James) When I moved out
and was all on my own for college,
I was feeling a little... - Why did I make this video?
- (James) I'm gonna get some Sooubway for lunch.
Food that I used to almost eat every day
and got for free for over a year,
I was gonna pay full price for. I just wanted a taste of home.
- So, I look at that and I'm like, man,
the animation in that is bad, but then I'm like,
that's my most popular video, so obviously people don't care
about backgrounds or how the characters look,
but-- so what am I doing?
Sooubway 3's in five or six, I think.
Sooubway 3. Why do people watch these videos?
Oh yeah, Laser Tag's up here. Crap, this is difficult.
- (James) Wait for the game inside to finish up
before you can go and play. - I knew Laser Tag was up there.
I'm just gonna put this as number three.
- (James) Look at these goths. What dweebs.
But then, I remembered that the laser tag arena
was darkly lit. - These guys weren't goths.
these-- camouflage.
Wow, these guys are even bigger dweebs.
That was the next line. So, we only have
nine and ten left, so I hope the next two videos
you chose were my least popular ones.
I think it might be teachers. Is Poetry--
play the next video.
- (James) I was talking to a friend saying, "Oh, I know.
I can do a video about..." - This is number ten?
- (James) I'll talk about how much it sucks.
And she said, "Oh, at my school, we didn't do the science fair."
- What? - (James) I ran a poll
and asked you guys if you even did the science fair
and whether or not you enjoyed doing it
and 58% of you said you didn't have to do
the science fair. That was way more
than I expected. - These videos are bad.
These ones are fine, but I don't see why
they're my top ten, you know what I mean?
Maybe just 'cause they're older and they had more time
to get views, but I really like my newer videos.
My newer videos, I'm like, those are better,
so that's why I'm glad Life is Fun is up here.
Well, I have only nine or ten, so I'm gonna put
the science fair at number ten.
- (James) When I first moved out of my house and went to college,
the day I moved into my apartment,
- This video did really well, too. - (James) This is what I saw.
- Keep in mind all the buildup... There's an animation mistake
right... right, hold on.
Right there. Do you see it at all?
Look at his hand right there. - (FBE) Oh.
- Yeah, the background bleeds into his hand
and that went through me-- I didn't catch it,
so that's why this video shouldn't be on
my most popular ten videos. ...All on my own
for the very first time. And then I saw
a bunch of things. Well, I only have
one spot left, which is number nine, so what video was that again?
Roommates? I feel really bad
because that video did really well
and I went into very specific details about
my roommates, so even though I didn't
use their real names, if they watched that video,
they're gonna be like, "That was about me."
- (FBE) So, we'll give you about 30 seconds
if you wanna rearrange. - Okay.
And so, go. So Sooubway was my most
popular. I knew that.
Teachers did really well. I'm gonna put teachers at six.
Science fair, I'm gonna put at ten, 'cause I don't remember that
being that popular. So, new order is Sooubway,
Sooubway 2, Ten Things, Life is Fun, Sooubway 3,
Laser Tag, My Teachers, Sports, Roommates,
Science Fair.
- (FBE) Number ten is My Thoughts on Sports.
- Ooh, I did not get that. I said sports was eight,
but no, I was wrong.
- (FBE) Number nine is My Thoughts
on the Science Fair. - Okay, that's a point.
So I said that as one. One point, ha ha.
- (FBE) Eight is My Teachers.
- Okay, I put that, again, as number seven.
- (FBE) Number seven is Laser Tag.
- Oh, I thought-- okay, I got that as six.
All right, I'm getting-- I'm in the ballpark.
- (FBE) Six is My Thoughts on Roommates.
- Okay, I had that as nine.
That one was more popular than I thought.
Those are real people that I talk about.
- (FBE) Number five is Top Ten Things
That Keep Me Awake at Night.
- Oh boy, okay. I did that as number three,
so then no points.
- (FBE) Number four is Life is Fun.
- Yeah, I knew that was number four.
Two points.
- (FBE) Number three is Sooubway Part 3.
- I did that as five.
- (FBE) Number two is actually Sooubway number one.
- What? - (FBE) And Sooubway number two,
Annoying Customers is number one.
- Oh, so I only got one-- instead of getting four points,
I only got two points. I did not know that
my most popular was Sooubway 2.
Who likes the sequel better than the original?
- (FBE) Often on YouTube, many viewers will stumble upon
a channel and they'll, in order to check it out,
they'll go to the most popular videos.
So, if someone who is unfamiliar with your channel
saw any of these videos, do you think that it would
give a good representation of your content?
- I think it would give a good representation
of my personality. I don't think it would do--
it would be a good representation of
my drawing skills and where I'm at right now,
'cause I think I've improved a lot. I made Sooubway 1
and then literally a week and a half later,
I made Sooubway 2, 'cause I was just like,
just do it. Just spit it out.
Now I'm spending at least three weeks on a video.
I think people will see that it was made
two years ago and be like, oh, he's upped
the quality since then.
