Hi, I'm Gingerpale!
Gingerpale, what is this?
Oh, this?
This is my new theater
and I made it all by myself.
It doesn't look like you made it.
Yeah, well it doesn't look like I made you a mouth either.
*angry mumbling*
You know you're pretty bad at conversation.
*more mumbling*
No, it's okay. Don't spaz out.
I'll teach you how to have a good conversation,
but this can take more effort than one man can muster,
so I brought Nevercake here to help me explain.
You brought the puppets, right?
I always do.
To start off the conversation;
you're gonna want to use a greeting.
Say a simple hi and introduce yourself.
Don't say weird things that wouldn't normally fit your vocabulary.
You don't come off as cool or anything when you say things that make you look uncomfortable.
Howdy dude! Yeehaw am I right?
You're weird and I don't like you.
*incorrect buzzer sound*
No, no, tha- that's wrong.
You sound fake and now no one likes you.
Let's try again, but this time let's keep it simple
and be ourselves.
*rewind sounds*
Hi, I'm Gingerpale.
I can tolerate a conversation with you.
I can already feel friendship coming on.
Let's not jump to conclusions.
*correct bell sound*
Oh, wow, cool!
We're off to a good start.
You've managed to initiate a conversation,
but it's still awkward.
Time for an icebreaker!
We could sure use an icebreaker right about now,
kind of like the mints,
ahahaha get it?
Stop.
*incorrect buzzer sound*
Nope, bad.
No one likes puns. Try again.
*rewind sounds*
Hey, do you like mints?
Heck yeah, I like mints!
Have one of my mints.
*correct bell sound*
Everyone likes mints.
Now that we're all warmed up to each other,
we need to keep moving forward and get into a topic.
Conversation is an art, but you're not an artist,
so just say some words.
But what kind of words?
We need a topic of some sort;
try discussing familiar subjects for all parties involved.
So do you like makin' high-quality YouTube content?
I aim for mediocrity.
*correct bell sound*
You can also try asking them questions.
How are you feeling lately?
I dread each waking moment.
Why?
The absurdity of existence crushes down upon my frail human form.
Huh.
Why?
*incorrect buzzer sound*
Bad.
You're bad at this.
You're bombarding them with too many questions.
Now the conversation is going to be one-sided.
Okay, try again,
but this time, be better
*rewind sounds*
What did you do today?
Suffer.
Now, I could be a real dummy, and ask why again,
but that's stupid and won't really forward the conversation,
so instead we're gonna branch off of his answer.
Oh, cool,
like a mental anguish kind of thing or...?
Yeah, my soul is in turmoil.
Hooey! Sounds like a blast
*correct ding sound*
You're really starting to sound like a pro!
Do remember, we're still new to all this
"socializing" stuff,
so let's not get too ahead of ourselves.
We're going to run out of things to say!
Get out of there before the conversation dies.
People are going to think you're more interesting,
and this way you're going to avoid some awkward situations.
So that's why I decided to never go outside again.
Yeah. It's not for everybody.
Yes indeed!
Yep!
Mm-Hmm.
*incorrect buzzer sound*
Uh, oh.
One word responses and awkward silences while you try to slowly inch your way out of there...
That won't do at all!
Now how do you leave before this happens?
You could tell them that you have an emergency which needs to be attended to in a time-sensitive manner.
Did I mention that I have an emergency that needs to be attended to in a time-sensitive manner?
No? Uh... well, I gotta go do that!
What?
*correct ding sound*
Good work,
you made an excuse.
But you probably lied, so...
*incorrect buzzer sound*
That's pretty rude...
Another way out is just leave.
Just run away.
This gives you a real mysterious aura.
So what have you been up to?
*drum roll*
Boy, what a mysterious guy.
*correct ding sound*
If all this "conversing"
seems a little too complicated,
you can always rely on this last tip:
just don't.
Don't start the conversation in the first place.
Stay inside!
Just use the internet, it has everything.
Are you hungry?
Order some delivery pizza!
Need some friends?
Cool! Join my discord!
Need to hit the bank and deposit some money?
Here's my Patreon instead.
Hey everyone, thanks for watching the video.
I want to give a big ol' thanks to my pals over at Nevercake.
They're a talented twin duo.
They helped write, edit,
and even drew and animated the puppets that you saw in the video.
I linked to their boot and apple series here.
I enjoy them, so maybe you will too.
And did I mention they're almost at 200k subs?
Maybe you click on the video or on their channel and go check them out.
Thanks again everyone!
