-What the hell am I gonna say?
The hardest thing is to be yourself on camera.
Maybe because I don't know who I am.

My channel is Mediocre Films, and it's all comedy videos.
Hopefully they're better than they sound.
I think the first video that I made
that actually meant something to me didn't mean anything to me
in an emotional way,
more of a way of just giddy excitement
in that I got featured on YouTube with a video
where I just was interviewing people,
and I hit them in the face with the microphone.
What I loved about doing this video
is that it's amazing
to see people's reactions
when you've just smacked them in the face with the microphone,
but yet they want to cover it up because they feel like,
they're, you know, on camera
and they have to be professional.
It was an interesting study of human behavior.
You know, humor is subjective.
What one person finds hilarious,
another person won't even crack a smile at.
Any video that I make,
there are a lot of people who think it's funny
and then people who think that I should "go die"
because I didn't make them laugh.
Obviously, that's an accepted response.
You know, that's completely acceptable.
To me, what makes something funny
is the element of surprise.
If I can predict where a joke is going
or what's about to happen, then I won't laugh.
But if something really catches me by surprise, then it's funny.
And that could even be someone, you know,
cracking their shin on a coffee table.
That's funny to me.
As long as I know they're not really hurt,
but that it hurts a lot.
I think Mel Brooks said that.
Mel Brooks is funny.
I believe there is no line in comedy.
I will cross every line in comedy
because I think that nothing is sacred.
It's just life.
This is just life.
If you think that you're important, come on.
This world has been around for billions of years.
This is -- We are nothing.
So if you can't joke about anything,
then what's the point?
Enjoy yourself. Okay, here we go.
That was a terrible spin. Hang on.
Here we go.
I'm gonna spin that again.
Ooh.
Mistakes.
That's better than religion.
Here's a mistake that I made
that I'm glad I made -- getting married young.
I made a big mistake of getting married young,
and it didn't last.
It just was a huge fiasco.
But, man, did I learn a lot from that.
What did I learn, you'll probably ask.
Well, I'll tell you.
I learned basically how to listen to people,
basically how to be a real person.
You can learn a lot from mistakes.
And I think I've learned a lot
because I've made a lot of them.
Boy, love can be a lot of things.
It's like the energy of life.
I think without love,
there's kind of no reason for anything.
I guess everything's based out of love.
Let's go with that.
Or not. Maybe not.
Do we need religion?
I think that we need faith.
And I think that faith is different from religion.
The word "organized" goes along with religion a lot of times,
and in my opinion, I don't feel that we need that.
But I feel that we need faith
in something that's bigger
than ourselves 'cause otherwise it's all,
"Me, me, me," all the time,
and that doesn't do anybody any good.
Okay, you want to know the question that I wrestle with?
Honestly, it's, am I a good person?
I think I am.
But sometimes I don't know.
I'm not so sure.
Nobody's perfect.
Maybe I shouldn't have killed that homeless guy.
I don't know if that was a mistake or not.
It's hot in here.
