(yawning)
- I slept like a baby last night,
in that I didn't get any sleep at all,
and there was a lot of crying.
(upbeat music)
What is up, everybody?
For those of you concerned about the cold open,
relax, I was just watching a scary movie.
It was The Brave Little Toaster.
So, many of you by now, are pretty familiar
with Gavin, the kid who's appeared
in many of my short videos and YouTube videos
over the past few years now?
But I've never actually made an official video
introducing him to you all.
He is my godson, an absolute fricking light in my life,
I've known the kid since he was like six years old,
and being his godfather, I am going to have
to take a second to gloat about him.
Because he is the smartest, funniest,
just good-natured kid that you will ever meet.
Like you look at kids on TV, and you're like,
"They're definitely scripted, because no kid
is that witty or fun to be around."
And then Gavin is.
I'm definitely very biased.
Maybe there are many, many kids out there
that are at that level, but I'm only gauging it
based off of my experience as a 14 year old
which looked a little something like this:
- To my left, we have Thomas.
(upbeat music)
(people cheering)
(Young Thomas mumbling)
(girl laughing)
(Young Thomas mumbling)
Whoa.
(floor squeaking)
(laughing)
(upbeat music)
(Thomas) That was good, that was really good.
- Mhmm, Adorkable, minus the adorable part.
And I will be reacting to those movies
in a future video.
If me and Gavin were the same age
attending the same school, we would not
hang out in the same social circles.
(laughing)
14 year old me would definitely not steal the show
like Gavin does in every video he appears in.
Gavin what?
I'm doing this is important YouTube stuff.
- These look awesome!
- [Thomas] Thomas himself helped design them.
- Uh. Okay.
My favorite character is Aang.
- That's not how you pronounce it.
And it's a no on the cape. - I think it's cool.
Don't argue back with me.
Well, get your hand out my butt.
- [Thomas] This is the face of hubris.
- You ever notice that you walk really weird?
- What? - Why is your head so big?
- Get the pinky down there.
- I'm trying!
I'm not Gavin. I'm a over 18 person.
Kid tested and approved!
- Get out! Get out of here!
(knocking)
I have changed the lock five times.
- Stop get some help.
(Thomas laughing)
- The kid has the it factor and I love it.
But now, thanks to a request,
Gavin is about to face his greatest challenge yet.
Taking on my flagship series, the Sander Sides.
Will he be able to perfectly encapsulate
these incredibly complex characters using a topic he chose?
Well, probably, but let's find out.
(snapping)
- Now what?
- Well, this is embarrassing.
What of us is gonna have to change?
- I ain't changing.
- (laughing) Okay. You ready for this?
(singing)
(laughing)
- Gavin, were you at all intimidated
taking on each of the sides?
- Okay, first off, no.
Second of all, not that hard.
I mean
- It's not that hard.
- Not really.
I mean, Logan
- Logan
- Thousands of takes, I mean, five hours
we're sitting there doing the same thing.
- See, he can attest,
Logan very hard character to actually do.
- It was like 30 minutes, but still
- And you also volunteered the topic
for this particular episode
that you wanted to do a sketch about.
We did it a little bit ago.
You'll see Gavin with a different haircut
and a little bit shorter.
- How dare you.
(laughing)
- But it okay, you're taller now.
- We're fighting after this.
- Well, you guys will, well, you will all be able to find
out the topic in just a few seconds.
Here it is.
Gavin sides.
- Yay.
- You guys, I have a problem.
What is a kiddo?
I'm so lonely.
I need more hugs.
Aw, I could use more hugs.
No you don't, you're fine, you're a lone wolf.
Right, it sounds like you need a hug.
No, no personal space.
Did somebody say beautiful face?
No one said that
but I did hear the word space.
We're talking hugs.
Oh, hugs.
That's how you know you're adored.
And I adore them time, day or night.
If anyone hugged me at night
I will toss them on the ground.
You're just grumpy because you're trying to snooze.
It's the grim sleeper over here.
Hugs are actually good for you.
When two people hug, they release a hormone called oxytocin.
It affects us the exact opposite way of stress.
It's pretty, poggers.
But hugs are only good, when both people want one.
Oh yes, absolutely.
Yes. Sure.
Sure. Sometimes I just squat down
hug my legs and lean forward.
That's just how I roll.
How dare you?
Well, that sounds it.
I'm going out to ask a friend for a hug.
Unduly
Whatever.
Goodbye hug.
Air hug, air hug, bye bye.
(evil laugh)
Yes, Thomas, go and get those hugs.
Earn their trust.
Hey, why don't we hug?
Have you smelled your own breath?
(blow air into hand and sniffs)
Not that bad.
- Bravo. Bravo.
(clapping)
That was Gavin signs.
Gavin, you really nailed it.
All of those characters.
- I know I did
- Thank you for taking it on
but honestly I do think that you did a very good job
because you're an incredibly talented individual
and I can't wait to see the other things that you make.
- What am I gonna make?
- Anything that you want to, I don't know.
- I could make cookies.
Have you guys try? You need to try my cookies.
He just bumped into the main guest.
(gasps)
- You're the main guest.
- He's the main guest you
- You, have to also put him down to make him look
like he's ascent being capable of his free will.
(laughing)
All right, well then we're gonna snap out.
Okay. Ready?
You're gonna go see professor pickles.
Okay.
- Yeah, I'm going right now.
- All right, go
- Bye
- Bye.
So yeah, the kid just is good at everything.
He's good at everything.
I just have to resign myself to that,
he's only gonna get better.
Yes, this video has been purely me,
just geeking out about how awesome of a kid he is
but it's what he deserves.
I never thought that I would be a godfather, but I am so
very honored to be a godfather, especially to somebody as
awesome as Gavin.
If I'm at all one tenth of a good influence in his life
as he's been in mine,
I will be so, so honored because he has.
- Not good
(laughing)
- There will be so many times when I have been caught
up in work and the mundanity's of life.
Whenever he's around,
he's just being his cheerful awesome self.
He reminds me to take a second
and just laugh and have fun.
It's very important, it's something that
I've consistently forgotten.
- Bounce, bounce, bounce
Gavin, I thank you for that, buddy.
You are the most awesome person in the entire world
and I will get you a video game that you've been
hinting at recently.
(laughing)
You earned it though, bud, you did that whole sketch.
It was great.
For all of you out there watching, I hope
that you enjoyed me just taking a few you minutes to geek
out about Gavin.
(laughing)
Hope you all enjoyed Gavin's take on the sander sides.
Hope you guys enjoy Gavin.
I'm a proud godfather.
Until next time, take it easy guys, gals
and non-binary pals.
Peace out.
If you're interested in some pretty hilarious Gavin sides
bloopers, you can check out the extended version
of this video over on paton.com/ Thomas Sanders.
- [Thomas] You're doing good.
- Why do my legs hurt so much?
(sings) These thighs are on fire.
(Thomas laughs)
- Before we close out the video, I did want to just check
and ask you a couple of things that you may or may not know.
Do you know what it means?
When I say that I need to burn a CD
- Delete it or?
- Okay, when you burn a CD is when
if you're like making a copy
of a DVD or if you're making a copy of music.
All right?
Do you know what this is?
- [Gavin] No.
- [Thomas] Oh
- Do you recognize it
as what you press when you have to save something?
- Yeah, I do game saves.
- These things were basically essentially what we
would use to save.
- That's what you saved on?
- That's what you saved on.
- What? How did you even like, so many questions?
- Did you know that in order to watch something from Netflix
they had to mail you a bunch of DVDs.
They had to mail you DVDs.
Then you watched that, and then you had to mail it back
before you could watch something else.
- Wait, what happened if you didn't mail it back?
- I think you had to pay.
You never got to watch your next movie.
- I could just make another account then.
- Okay, gaming the system.
Speaking of the internet, did you know
that this is what we had to endure anytime we wanted to get
onto the internet.
- Okay.
- This is what we had to listen to the whole time.
- I know you can, you can stop.
You can, you can, you can stop it.
I know.
I answered your question, why are you?
You can stop.
Stop.
I got it.
