Comedy is
*real music*
Com-
Comedy is very subjective.
While some individuals may find a certain thing funny, comedic, or interesting,
others may look upon that same piece of content as deplorable, or really bad.
Typically, even though you yourself or me, do not find something funny,
we can at least acknowledge how other people may find it funny, and where the humor may come from.
A personal example for me, is the TV show Friends.
I did not grow up watching it, I have no nostalgic connection to it, and frankly, it does not appeal to my sense of humor.
But for me to say that Friends is not funny, is just not fair.
But I can see why people would find Friends funny.
It's endearing. It's got a cast of characters you like,
It's got relatable situations, and it's got you, the viewer at home,
rooting for people and laughing along along along the way. Long.
Let me get to my point.
Every once in a while, I come across a piece of content that is so incredibly baffling,
who its target audience is, who it was written by, and why it exists in the first place.
Well, today, I found a piece of content just like that.
Or rather, u/memes_like_tendiesyt found it, and submitted it on my subreddit.
Today we're going to be looking at a video by a creator named...
What's the name? Oh, Guava Juice!
We've seen him before!
He's a comedic God on YouTube, with over 13 million subscribers, products, and many major retailers.
Guava Juice is arguably one of the biggest creators on the site right now.
A few days ago, he had one of his many many videos get on YouTube Trending again,
breaking into the top ten, with a title called
"10 Things Not To Do in The Movies Theater"
Movies theater...
"Part 2".
"Here are 10 things not to do in a movie theater."
"Don't direct."
"Thanos, man! What are- Why are you snapping?"
"That's not on the script!"
"That's not on the script, Thanos!"
"Iron Man, I told you to FLY NORTH."
Okay, doesn't start off too egregious, albeit a bit confusing.
I mean, it's number 10. I mean, you put the weaker things on number 10.
I get that, no worries, you get another shot, Guava.
"Don't bring a TV."
"Hey, look! I brought my TV to the the-ater."
"Oh no, what are you doing?"
"You broke my TV!"
I-
*G♭ A♭ B♭*
I...
Okay, so let's break this down.
He brought his TV, into the theater. A TV,
which you can clearly see, already had an enormous dent in the middle, that they made no attempt to hide the fact that this was probably their fifth or sixth take.
You know that really relatable situation when you bring a full 2011 TV into the movie theater
and a guy hits it with a baseball bat? And you said
"𝐻𝑒𝑦 𝑚𝑎𝑛, 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑏𝑟𝑜𝑘𝑒 𝑚𝑦 𝑇𝑉!"
I'm a little confused. I don't get it, and who would get it? That's fine. That's fine. Let's go. Let's go. Let's... yeah.
"Don't eat a three-course meal."
"Good evening, sir"
"Here's your three-course meal"
"Three-course meal, huh? Why thank you!"
"You're welcome"
"oh my gosh"
"HELP"
"A GHOST"
"Don't be extra."
Ohhh...
Guys, I don't-
One thing that I try to do here, when I do these desk videos,
is to try to not be overly dramatic, or too unfair to the subject of the video.
In this situation, I'm doing my best to try to be as absolutely fair as possible.
But I can say that, now being 2 minutes and 36 seconds into the video,
I don't have a goddamn clue what is going on.
Do you remember that kid in middle school?
Let's call him Kyle. Who wanted very very badly to gain the attention and approval of his peers.
His comedic style would often default to doing 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐳𝐲 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬.
Hey, everybody! Look at this lighter! "Whoo, I'm a lighter. I like to light things!" Whoop!
Flick flick, flick my BIC!
Now about 99% of the time, these Kyle's would grow up and at some point in their adult lives realize
"Oh goodness. I really wasn't funny"
"Atoll"
But in Guava Juice's unique situation,
he seems to have eluded the 99% of Kyle's that would grow out of this phase, and realize that he didn't have to stop being unfunny.
He could just make millions of dollars off of it.
"Don't litter"
"Come on, really? People littering?"
"It's not hard, to throw,"
"in the trash can. Alright?"
"Hey, no littering."
*D♭*
So he walked into the theater, and he kicked over the trash can. And security came after him.
*sigh*
"Don't iron clothes"
"Huh?"
"That's MY suit."
"My bad."
"𝗡𝗢"
Eddie, come home!
"Don't chew your gum loud!"
"Mmm"
*the world's funniest joke in the world*
"Mm."
*in case you didn't catch it the first time, they give you a closer look so you don't get distracted by anything*
"Don't be a chair"
"Ah, finally, that troublemaker is gone. I can finally enjoy this movie"
"Don't be-"
Ohhhh...
Guys. This-
Let the record show that this is, the least amount of good commentary that I will ever give.
I needed you to see this video.
I don't know what to say half the time. What is going on with this?
Who is this for? Who made this?
Guava Juice has 5 billion views.
He has products available in multiple major retailers.
He is no doubt a
Multi-multi-multi-millionaire.
Can you imagine having this much money, and influence, time, power, and ability,
and creating an end product like this?
It eludes... All explanation.
"Don't pause the movie"
"Oh my god, it's the fight scene, but I gotta use the bathroom so much"
"Ohh I gotta pause it real quick."
*minecraft youtube video music*
"Oh, that's more like it."
"Why am I speaking like that?"
You know what I want to know, so badly?
Who writes these? Who is writing these?
Is Guava Juice writing these? Is Roi Fabito writing these?
Guava, please, this is not a joke.
I am sending you an open invitation, for me to write a sketch for you, that will appear on your main channel.
You don't have to pay me, you can have it for free.
Sincerely Gus.
"Don't order pizza!"
"DID ANYONE ORDER A PIZZA?!"
"AY MAN, I ORDERED A PIZZA!"
"RIGHT OVER HERE!"
"ALRIGHT HERE YOU GO"
Let's break this one down. Let's break this one down.
So the pizza guy comes into the movie theater and says, hey man, did anybody order a pizza? And then Guava Juice says
𝙃𝙀𝙔 𝙈𝘼𝙉 𝙄 𝙊𝙍𝘿𝙀𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝘼 𝙋𝙄𝙕𝙕𝘼
And then the pizza guy throws the box at him, which is actually full of popcorn, and then Guava spills it all over himself,
*help*
Makes no mention of the idea that it is not in fact the pizza he supposedly ordered, and then yells:
And then that's the en- And that's the sketch.
I just don't understand.
This is a cry for help.
For me!
"Don't bring your own popcorn maker."
"Oh, excuse me, sir. Oh, excuse me, ma'am. I'm sorry about that. Oh, sorry."
"Hey, excuse me. Is this is this seat taken? oh, it's got a ticket"
"YEAH"
"Don't take your shoes off"
There were no negative repercussions to him bringing the popcorn maker into the theater.
"A three hour movie? Well, you know what that means. A perfect time to take off your shoes!"
"All right. Let's see what we're working here"
"where'd my leg goooooo"
*hits, short sirens*
I don't want to be a Negative Nancy here.
*laughter*
I don't really talk about other YouTubers often. And ironically, one of the only other times that I did it, was also about Guava Juice.
I like keeping it positive, wholesome, and supportive on this channel because as you very well know, boys support boys.
And in this situation, I don't even know if my opinion adds anything of value to the conversation.
A conversation that I'm still not sure needs to be had in the first place.
I think that my natural reaction to a piece of content that is clearly abysmal and confusing as this,
is that I'm just disappointed in seeing it so prominently featured, on a platform that I love, and love to produce content for.
This thing has got to get out of my eye-
Maybe this is a turning point for me. Maybe this is a different direction that I'm taking with these desk videos.
I love to make them.
I have a lot of fun!
And clearly I was being a little bit of a dramatic goofball in this one,
But sometimes I wonder if I'm being too mean. I mean, I don't know Guava Juice personally. Who knows?
I mean, he could be just a fine guy.
I do definitely disagree with him doing the promotion for the mystery box loot box gambling service
that was clearly a scam, when he was clearly aiming it at children,
I think that that's incredibly irresponsible, and a gross misuse of his power and platform.
Am I being too mean? Maybe I shouldn't have included this last part in the video, you know?
It's it's fun for us to watch pieces of content like this and go "Haha. Look how dumb that is. That's so dumb"
Is that too mean? Is it justified? I don't know. Maybe this is a deciding point for the channel.
I'm rambling, I'm talking too much. I'll boil it down to this.
Let me know in the comments down below if you want me to look at a
Bad goofy piece of content like this every once in a while for a desk video.
Or would you prefer me to do more issue based things people and traditional media?
Stuff that really seems like it's a gross problem, or just a goofy, goofy thing.
Either way, thanks for supporting what I do with the desk videos, and the sketches, and the music, and everything on this channel.
I appreciate the flexibility that you let me do, and I'm glad that you're here.
So have a good day...
and
die?
