- October 15, 2012 - A large, philosophical pyramid appears in town, announcing several messages, but is it what it seems? Plus, best practices for regular skin-checks, an update on the levitating cat, and whatever happened to that vile barber?

Congrats Brad. you're the first intern to make it through an entire broadcast alive after being named.
How can he die? He is blessed with skills on carpentry, and maybe occasionally, you know, black magic
He'll probably die making a cabinet
are you sure bout that?
Thanks. Station Management wasn't happy about that one.
A miracle
It's weird, but the fact that there was an actual sponsorship scared me far more than the pyramid.
Exactly. I'm late but exactly
Was anybody else really startled when he said "Audible"?
I was shocked that they did an actual ad.
I know, it was so confusing. I spent the whole ad wondering when it was gonna get really weird.
same
I literally did a double take. Most unnerving moment of the episode.
Ironic, that the part we all find strange, we wouldn't even blink at if it came on the radio.
So 52% of the citizens of Nightvale don't feel pain? That explains alot
Yep, and none of us can die from bullets. A miracle.
@@dogwithpropellorhat us?? op??
Yup. All of us.
@@nicholasbellucci4998 every last one of us.
Each and every one of us.
Telly deserved all that may or may not have happened to him; he cut the beautiful, fabulous, glorious hair of local scientist Carlos.
I know that Carlos had beautiful hair, but Carlos PAID for his hair to be cut, I don't care how beautiful hair might be but haircuts are haircuts :/
@@lylemorrison7781 Telly shouldn't have taken his money.
@@lylemorrison7781 who gave Telly a computer to spread lies across the internet? We don't need your lies here Telly
Right!!! How dare he cut perfect Carlos’ hair...
@@lylemorrison7781 If some wanted you to destroy their soul and they were willing to pay you to do so, would you? Telly would.
Since Carlos is confirmed to listen to the broadcast do you think he ever hears Cecil dismissing his warnings and just screams or cries in frustration
The poor darling!
Plot Twist. Because Cecil keeps ignoring his warnings, Carlos gas been pulling out his hair in frustration, resulting in him get a haircut to hide some of the bald spots.
It's a vicious cycle.
Yes please
the pyramid must be kinda pissed because everybody thought his message was for flaky-o's
agreed
Although, the pyramid said that one day you will figure out your calling. Maybe it will realize it should be a publicity stunt.
anyone else read the comments during the weather?
+Soapy Jam I do it for every one of these!
eeeeyup
yep same
yep
yup
Hey Cecil
a-are... are you sure you didn't do something to Telly
it's what telly deserves after his crime
@@kitmoon7647 + cutting carlos's hair
@@briannarohrer3983 That was his crime.
This implies he's a yandere... I can see that
@@kittycreations6268 I Sure Hope Not
Night Vale is like a more twisted version of Gravity Falls where good and evil are long dead. Only raw power exists, so make sure it's eco-friendly.
Omg a mostly legit sponsorship ad
ik i was kind of shocked lol
Now when ever I hear a song I like in a video I will comment "Nice Weather we're having" :)
XD
I feel like this could become something like a fandom Code XD
mood
I will be using this you can't stop me
@@birte9479 it is. I checked the comments on Absentee. Most of it was "nice weather we're having"
"the geometric shape that stole our hearts"
Are we sure that the Pyramid isn't secretly Bill?
yES IT'S BILL
+Jamie “Ashley” Woods No, it's Bill's new mobile castle. All the strange messages are indeed from Bill, but the reason no one has noticed it's Bill is because he doesn't want to reveal himself. So, he cleverly delivered those messages from the safety and comfort of his home. The reason we can tell it is Bill? Who else would be that inconsiderate a parker.
J Ickes Yes, of course! But now... We aren't supposed to know that, are we?
Jamie Woods Probably not, but I'm on good terms with Bill, so I'm good. We made a deal, so my personal health is of no concern to me. You however, should probably make a deal soon if you haven't already.
J Ickes Well, I suppose I should go do that then. But before I do, remember, reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, byeee!
I finally figured out what this reminded me off , and I have a head canon !! Night Vale is the town that is near where Courage the Cowardly Dog lives. That's why so many weird things happened to Courage, and why Eustace and Muriel act like everything was normal.... Because it was normal to them.
HOLY FUCK THAT MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE
Donna Johnson It does! Oh my God, now I'm imagining Courage the Cowardly Dog hosting a radio show...
TheBlueMadonna That's a good guess, but Night Vale is located in a desert and Nowhere is located in Kansas . My personal guess for Nigh Vale's location is New Mexico because of Roswell .
i didn't know Nowhere was in kansas, This just adds to my other theory that Night Vale, Nowhere and Gravity Falls are all located at essential points of the earth that are extremely vulnerable to multidimensional crossover and sporadic lapses of the laws of physics as we know them. in a separate comment I did a short fan fic suggestion about all of the main characters of the shows meeting each other somehow, and Cecil having to deal with the mountains and forests for the first time while in Gravity Falls.
Oooh that sounds like a good fanfic crossover idea and it does makes senses. Personally, from my experience with the book and its sequel I would add the John Dies at the series by David Wong fictional city the books are located in as a possible addition to fandoms that could be cross over with Night Vale since, that city is a pretty strange location. My other personal nightvale location headcanon is that its located in Nevada .
There is no free will. I myself have been forced to write this comment.
Do demons like tortations?
allllllhaillltheglowcloudalllllllllllhaaaiiiiilllll
I love your comments
Please how do you need help
And I have been forced to reply
((Damn, sounds like Night Vale citizens have fallen victim to a major *pyramid scheme*. :3))
Was that a fucking fob reference???
Kuro Heart yeah like.... bill!!!!!!!
Gravity falls reference
When will you people stop calling legitimate business opportunities "schemes" ?
I'm beginning to think the host is a amnesiac lovecraftian old god....
No spoilers! But he might be.
You know how it is.
weird at last. weird at last. god almighty, weird at last.
Night time only cereal seems like a good idea.
I would eat it!
ACorgiInHooman'sClothing yes
All cereal can be night time cereal if you just believe in yourself
The weather today sounded like the sort one might play at a funeral for someone mostly unknown to the attendants. The sort of funeral for a person who died too soon. Poor, poor Martha. She was such a sweet lady. Alas, no one could keep the birds away from her for long. This weather, strangely, seems to remind everyone of birds. There is nothing unusual about this.
It is a tragedy, though I can hardly remember martha after all this time. Martha, wasn’t that the woman from the shops? The one with the funny hat that made her look like a fish? Oh, I mustn’t speak Ill of the dead. We serve the dead, after all. Who said that old mantra? Was it the Buddha? Philosophy was never my strong suit. Say, who was that dead woman again? Something with a M?
Lol
I don't know why, but I'm extremely fond of the weather in this one. Makes me want to sway back and forth with a pint of beer or something.
Golden Freddy
ikr.
weather had nice voice this episode.
Sounds like a Tom Waits impersonation
The Naked Ant
But with a sort of...rousing viking pub kind of feel.
If it was twice as fast it would sound like Drop Kick Murphy
When Night Vale's desert was a sea, I bet there were pirates singing similar songs.
I demand a three way battle between the pyramid, glow cloud, and the creeping fear.
you: earth is flat
me,an intellectual: earth is an inflated orb
I love how Cecil just keeps coming back to Carlos’ hair
This just furthers my theory that Night Vale and Gravity Falls take place in the same universe.
Omg yes. Dipper could come here with Stanford to check out the crazy occurrences and Carlos could be from gravity falls.
If only Gravity Falls continued
MinersLoveGames i believe it but i wish that gravity falls would come back
same though
"Stan's Pawn Shop"
The pyramid?!
But that's just a theory. AAAAA PODCAST THEORY I WANT TO DIE
The straight cat called Khoshekh omg.
And a 'tip o' the cloak' to the ever-resourceful "Brad", who built the kitteh-box...whatta guy! ;3
Zay *Stray
+Alannah MC I almost didn't come to the comments section. You have made me glad I did.
Yeah.... it makes me sad what happens to him.....
@@shaggmiester3196 The kitty survives. Plus, it's one of the most badass moments in the series.
ALL HAIL THE GLOW CLOUD
ALL HAIL
THE GLOWW CLOUD
All hail the glow cloud
ALL HAIL THE GLOW CLOUD!!! ALL HAIL!!!
ALL HAIL
Are people seriously going to ignore the fact Ceceil just admitted to being immortal?!?!?
I'm pretty sure he was quoting the pyramid. It's the pyramid who can never die.
Oh no! Cecil's committing doublethink! Run, Cecil! Run!
closed minds stop thought crimes
Andenna Briggs gotta remember, if u see something, say nothing and drink to forget
@@iamzee8261 instructions unclear. drank crimes and said everything
you cant burn what you cant touch
bearnerdg books are dangerous
They just don't work anymore, so it makes sense to use Audible
Carlos' hair must have been something...
I can't tell if the audible thing is a joke, or legit Night Vale's version of sponsorship ad. o.o
+Fourth-Dimensional Quasar such as Subway: Eat your empty heart
Okay, the bigger pyramid sounds like the Fearamid, and it sounds like the "souvenir" it left behind was Bill or Bill's statue.
yesss
For some reason, I really like the weather for this episode. But the guy's voice makes me want to clear my throat often XD
it makes me want to take a drink of water
+leo vega Yeah XD
I wonder if Sam and Dean have their hammer licenses.
+blinkfilms1 Omg yes
*dean randomly goes through their fake licenses* SAM! WHY DO WE HAVE HAMMER LICENSES??!?!?
Well, at least FAKE ones
Thank god
hA
I have a theory that Gravity Falls and WTNV take place in the same universe, but Night Vale is significantly farther in the future, and I feel like Carlos might be Dipper's future son or something.
Endless_Galaxies headcannon accepted
Alternatively, Cecil is Dipper's ancestor.
The ad CZcams is showing me is Audible
Matt i love your profile pic, is that Kevin? :D
Same-
Air filled Earth society!?! Really!?!?
(I laughed so hard at that part)
And Telly begging the Gods to repair his mistake of cutting Carlos's hair is pure gold.
THOUGHT CRIME~ 1984 (by George Orwell) reference......
Maddey Romfoe Ahhh, I thought I was the only one to get that!! I'm so glad I wasn't lol
Maddey Romfoe I thought he said “Thot” xD
I flipped because I'm currently rehersing for a production of 1984
OMFG SOMEONE ELSE GOT IT TOO
I always thought WTNV was a reference to george orwelle just because of the way the government works in the podcast
The "goodnight" at the end always relaxes me a lot, I love how he says it
Me too!
Its w a r m, his voice is like...movie dinner microwave mash potatoes.
Fifty three percent...you know, this actually explains a lot. Like, how the fuck anyone manages to live in this town. However, it does call into question exactly how the Secret Police's torture works, if more than half of their victims can't feel pain. How is that possible?
Calyssa Smith emotional/mental/shock torture?
Calyssa Smith the majority of the ones that don't feel pain are part of the secret police.
Wonderful weather we're having today.
I kind of hated his voice
Night Vale is like a slightly darker Gravity Falls
is it tho?
@@juliec.547 but it is
@@hassassinator8858 Forgive my ignorance, I'd only listened to like the first few episodes when I wrote this
I have tried to explain Night Vale to my mother. She does not heed the Glow Cloud, She keeps asking about the Dog Park. I have made a mistake, and I worry for my mother.
THOUGHT CRIME!!!
@@julipazos1146 👷♂️🚧under construction🚧👷♀️
i have the "weird at last" shirt and it made me happy when he opened with that lol
One of my three favorite weathers...
I always imagine that they call it rhe weather because music floats around like wind in the town. And Cecil captures his favorite one and plays it.
I've been listening to these while drawing Cecil. I love him.
Also, Stan's Pawn Shop and a pyramid? Gravity Falls all the way.
Night Vale. The beautiful lovechild of Twin Peaks and The Onion.
Mattchester and the dear older sibling of gravity falls
One time I heard it described as "a mix of lovecraft and eureka"
14:00... But I thought books stopped functioning... or does that only apply to physical books?
FantabulousMop 394 only physical
Oh, I think that bug was patched, wasn’t it?
courage, gravity falls, supernatural, buffy, doctor who. ..what else is night vale related to?
+Sarahsaur Harvester, Fallout: New Vegas, Rita Hayworth...
+Sarahsaur This list is far too short, especially because you're excluding written media and video games. Some more to add would be St.U, American Gods, All of Lovecraft's works, The Dresden Files, et cetera, et cetera. Anything, if it is set in this world with few changes, is compatible and likely canon in Night Vale.
+Arshan “Donyadideh” Hasan its because I put the ones I knew.
Sarahsaur Fair enough.

My forever headcanon is that Gabriel just took over Night Vale one day as his realm. Or Discord. Or possibly Bill.
bill. the pyramid.
they probably did it together
bill
It was Bill. Definitely Bill.
"weird at last"
Thank God almighty, I'm weird at last!
We have the same name!
I swear Night Vale is some kind of SCP testing site or something.
i am offically obsessed
Same
"how to numb yourself from the nyeh unbearable pain of existence" An AutoBiographical Novel, By Dean Winchester
If you ever hear something on Welcome to Night Vale that is seemingly normal, expect something weird immediately after.
My friend told me to listen to this a few days ago, and now I'm officially obsessed.
13:30 At least they didn't find out about Cecil's diary.
I'm cuddling one of my kittens right now. Kittens smell nice.
I know right
+Anne Leest :)
The sweet smell of a fresh kitten X3
always best in the morning.
+Francesca Faga I don't know why but to me it sounds like you killed the kittens and you smell their rotting dead body's
I checked audible to see if the screen Cecil describes really pops up when you search "dog park." Unfortunately, it doesn't. I would unequivocally have subscribed to audible if it did.
I love how the cat's name is a derogatory russian word for 'cat'
The way they spell it is also the Hebrew word for “darkness”
I’m still completely unsure as to whether or not the audible sponsorship is real
This place is a hell mouth. Somebody call the Slayer.
Rabid Robbie Pretty sure Tamika Flynn is one
Julian Francisco that is the best WTNV headcanon, thank you
This weather really makes me want to sneeze
Okay....
Lizzy Moon 🌙 nice 👍 picture
The weather was great on this day!
+Mega Madeline I know, I really like it.
+Mega Madeline was tom waits the weatherman today? MORE in this style!
did anyone else go to audible.com and type 'dog park' just to see if it was real?
i was so tempted to, but i figured it probably wasn't real
There's a dog park related book on dog mysteries.. HMM
Always like to curl up for the night with a good old night vale podcast
i heard the words "among us" and just about burst into tears. thank you
Nice weather we're having
Are you kidding me? Audible?
This podcast series has kept me going for the last 3 years and for that i thank you for everything you do
Was half expecting the pyramid to say Bill's famous line from Gravity Falls.
Night Vale is modern day Innsmouth
When I listen to this I like to pretend I live in Night Vale
Binge-listening... nuf said!
I've been watching one or two episodes a night before I go to bed... :) It's kinda cool...
"or ask around the homeless", gives me oblivion vibes
okay but as soon as Cecil said goodnight the time turned to 10:30 I'm slightly shaken.
TBH WTNV always leaves me a little shaken...
I'm planning on writing a Supernatural/Night Vale crossover becAUSE YES!
+Zadie Hurrell that would be beautiful
Andrew b. Yass
make sure they have a hammer lisence
Karkat Vantas Ohh, yes!
***** YESSS That's a great idea!
As soon as he said "Let's Talk About" I just thought "Homestuck" XD
yassss
I have been a supporter of the air filled earth society for a long time now, and I'm so glad it's finally getting the publicity it deserves
The weather started, and I was so convinced it was a remix of 'Fools Rush In'... -_-
Right when Cecil said "the message is the following:" I got an ad and I was like wtf
For all the people wheezing about gravity falls cecil baldwin also acts tad strange
Just after the remark that "The pyramid's message is...", CZcams inserted a cheery ad about Hobby Lobby. Talk about perfect timing. I lost it! :D
But how was Mikaela able to see the levitating cat if he's in the men's bathroom?
Elena Nicollin transgender bathroom bill got denied here too
Telly is the worst.
I'm loving the weather
13:37 you're very welcome :') Awe, his laugh
man this is some gorgeous weather we're having
When the tiny Pyramid said the last broadcast, I had drawn a heart.
Wow Jackie Fiero must be a bit upset at the competing Pawn Shop. I wonder if you have to do the hand washing and chanting at the other one. Also ironic that Jason Webley did the weather in this episode. All I could think of was "Leave my in my pyramiiid"
Just recently listening through Night Vale for the first time and I'm in love
At 22:19 the man in the background is speaking Romanian! :)
You guys have fans even here, Eastern Europe!
Audible : "You can't burn what you can't even touch" in 2022, seems visionary...but are we really surprised :D
Dang, Cecil can be vicious when he wants to be. Definitely a yandere.
Why does the weather have the same melody as Welcome To The Black Parade...
Does anyone else hear that?
What amazing weather we are having today.
