- EDIT: I am aware of the fact that I didn't put the one from the accounting firm in. It was part of a talking head and I didn't think it counted.
Yes, every single time. (Not including talking heads because those don't count in my eyes. I also probably mistakenly put a couple in that only sort of looked like it.)
I spent about a month, off and on, making this. About 1/3 of the way through I realized just how incredibly stupid the idea was. But I was too far in to just throw away my work!
Ben's probably my favorite character (but that's hard to say, because all of them are great) so I enjoyed making a little tribute to his sass, and also skimming through all of my favorite episodes again. I plan to rewatch the series again.

When Jim looks at the camera you feel like you’re a part of an inside joke
When Ben Wyatt looks at the camera you feel like you have to *save him*
Rality he’s like help me....dear god
Incredibly accurate.
I'd love to be part of an inside joke some day.
Huge facts
So True
Jim Halpert always looks like he's amused when he looks at the camera; Ben either looks like he's incredulous or terrified.
theimprobableone sometimes jim is annoyed or in pain like when hes annoyed when dwight mocks his gift wrapping and in pain when kelly pleads him to ask ryan about her.
and alsO, adam scott auditioned for the roll of jim. so, who knows?
That’s funnier in my opinion
rlly tired he did?
theimprobableone or like wtf
ben being confused over why everyone loves lil sebastian so much is a mood
Me with all the weird trends these days
How dare you, lil Sebastian is a national treasure.
@@eddy-currents The idea of doing something for the sole reason that it's trending is so stupid
Ben looks into the camera so much that his little intro clip is him looking into the camera.
same for April...she looks at the camera bashfully in her intro clip.
the audience being his only source of escape 😅
I feel like he's looking for reassurance that he's not the crazy one whenever he looks at the camera.
Jordan Daniels he's actually looking at the camera guy
Yeah, you're right. Like he needs his validation for what he's seeing. Like, "Hey, are you seeing the same crazy that I am?" lol
ss... wow really u r so smart, 2 smart way 4 smart.
I do that sometimes in real life. As if I'm asking my imaginary friend for backup.
shortyrags Same, I flick my eyes to the wall, like I'm saying 'Hey wall, did you see my best friend being an idiot or did you hear what this kid just asked me?'
I especially liked the part where Ben looked into the camera
Binary Sudoku lol
yeah.. that one time.. me tooo
Wait, Ben looks into the camera in this video?
RazBarry Allen it's always great to see people be civil even when they don't agree. You make the internet a better place.
I think I missed that... Timestamp please.
Ben Wyatt is probably the most human/relatable dude on the show lmao.
D W and lets not forget Jim From the office
Him and Ann Perkins
Caleb Mayfield oh really no shit Sherlock
Caleb Mayfield oh ur a lil slow aren’t u
Caleb Mayfield u see how he said he’s the most relatable dude he reminds me of jim as well dumbass they both do the same shit
Ben Wyatt has ruined real men for me.
Yess
And slight, but powerful bodies
YES
That beautiful bastard...
Fucking same
The whole Parks and Rec show but everytime Ben looks into the camera the whole Bee movie starts rolling.
oh my GOD
Jesus Christ
Bojan Babic the whole Parks and Rec show but everytime Ben looks into the camera the whole Bee movie starts rolling but everytime they say "bee" the whole Parks and Rec show starts rolling
Alaina
the whole Parks and Rec show but everytime Ben looks into the camera the whole Bee movie starts rolling but everytime they say "bee" "We're the number one" video starts rolling but everytime the say one the whole Parks and Rec show starts rolling
Bojan Babic the universe would end before it is over
I wish I had a camera to look into in exasperation whenever something happened
TheOriginalDalamanza honestly at times when something worthy happens I'll look to the side and stare at something as if there's a camera there
I can't believe other people do this too
i do this lmao
TheOriginalDalamanza I make a fake camera in my head, I look at whenever I get annoyed, angry or just any other emotion.
+LukesGaming I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've been doing that since Malcolm in the middle.
Adam Scott really nails the "deer in the headlights" look.
I did the maths based on Ben’s number of appearances compared to the number of camera looks. That is 1.8 looks per episode. It doesn’t seem like much but that is a look every 12 minutes. That’s a lot
me irl
Ben would appreciate you doing that!
The hero we didn’t know we needed. Thank you, good sir.
Next should be every time Chris says "Literally".
Ethan P omg yes !!!!
Dea Zurita I always say "literally" like that now. Some people get it, some people don't.
Ethan P same dude but I sound like your typical white girl when someone doesn't get it lmao can't help it tho
Dea Zurita I'm sure I sound really lame when they don't get it, but I don't really care. It's LITERALLY too much fun to stop.
Yesss lol
It's funny how Ben looking into the camera is a running gag, as is Jim looking into the camera on The Office...and Adam Scott originally auditioned for the role of Jim. Spooky
woah! that is news to me. cool coincidence.
Justin Witham Parks and Rec is a spinoff of the office
ss... No it's not...a spinoff takes place in the same world with the same character(s). Parks and Rec is just a show from the same creators of The Office.
*X-Files theme plays*
The two shows do have one actor in common. Rashida Jones is on both shows. But your correct, Parks is not a spin off.
Could a depressed person make this?
...NO!
STAND in the place where you li
For the past four years of my life, every single time I open CZcams I get a notification of "HUR HAR HE'S LIKE JIM HALPERT"
Those fools. Ben is undoubtedly superior
Micah Gomez - MPG13 Periodt
Ron and April is too
Everyone talks about Jim looking at the camera but honestly Ben looking at the camera is always amazing
Adam Scott actually auditioned for the role of Jim Halpert.
I want a compilation of all of Leslie's compliments to Ann
WindSweptGirl611 there’s a video for that
@@StubbornMomDotCom what's it called
czcams.com/video/Su9bxtBh3ug/video.html enjoy it!
That's the whole show
I love that Ben is the only normal character there lol
cupcakebruh Not really
cupcakebruh Ron Swanson
Wafflefrogs101 HAHAHA
Unless he stops working
...or how completely paranoid he is of the cops lol
Jim’s stare is like “I can’t believe you did that”
Bens stare is more “I can’t believe you said that”
You understand both of them exactly.
Sigh. Ben Wyatt is the perfect man. A smart, sweet, respectful, cute, loyal, sexy as hell, sarcastic, nerdy doofus. You know your life is truly pathetic when you are in love with a fictional character! Seriously, can I have a Ben? (Who looks like Adam Scott?) Pleeeeaaase?
I totally agree. Also damn all that expression all in his eyes and eyebrows. Its like his stare pulls you in. He's great. I love Adam Scott a lot. He's also kind of dorky in Big Little lies, but yep, I'll take a Ben or an Ed. hahaha :D
OMG exactly 😭😭♥️♥️I want a ben
Are you ready to love a human disaster?
Dont forget his cute butt. May not be America’s ass but is a good one. And got punched in the face by john c reiley.
@@jessicaronald8971 with a butt that cute...hell yeah.
i want someone to look at me like ben looks at the parks and rec camera
so you want people to look at you with an ironic/sarcastic/confused look. that's a fetish I never heard of
People look at me like that all the time. It's okay I guess. :D
o_o
I don't even need to try, it's on people's faces by default
flowerfairies468 i want someone to talk to me the way leslie talks to ann
The entire Parks and Rec but every time Ben looks at the camera it gets faster
It would have to start on season three but I would watch it
by what? A factor of +1? So since the video says there's 177 instances, the video would end the Parks and Rec show on x178 speed?
Two/Three seasons of piracy and then super fast five/four seasons... sounds good to me.
hot damn this man is fine. Leslie scored like a boss on this one.
Hes very cute
Can we take the time and appreciate the fact that someone took alot of their limited time on this earth to make this video
What do you mean this show is great
Aww! Yep 🙌
@@flala2261 absolutamente!
He started as the only sane person in the entire show but of course, not for long.
Absolutely nothing!
I can't believe this video is 11 fucking minutes long
dippyfresh I can't believe I watched it all
Jason Skywalker same
dippyfresh jim from the office looking into the camera is 28 minutes long
Big part of it being so long is the OP decided to keep in all the context of the look rather than JUST Ben looking at the camera.
I can't believe this video is *only* 11 minutes long
at 2:28 why did ben ever think that button did anything helpful lmao
It's like, 50% of times it's because of Leslie, 30% because of Tom, 15% because of April and/or Andy and 5% because of the others.
lets face it the further you get in the series the more april and andy become one person
Him and Jim in The Office. They practically pioneered the look-into-camera-mockumentary style comedy.
I know!! What's funny is that Adam Scott actually auditioned for the role of Jim in the office as well! The clip of his audition is on CZcams somewhere.
As much as I love Adam Scott, he was definitely not the right guy to play Jim. And if he was on the Office we might have never had Ben!
Pretty sure that was Tim from the UK Office in 2001
Don't forget Dwight.
DWIGHT IS EVERYTHING
He's _literally_ a little island of deadpan, geeky voice of reason in this ocean of insanity.
When Leslie was sick as hell and then did the presentation anyway with no problem and when Ben looked at the camera I laughed too hard xD
You're doing God's work here.
fancy seeing you here!
Ben's looks to the camera was one of my favorite things of Parks and Rec. and the long running joke of the looks regarding Lil Sebastion was my favorite joke in the whole show. This video is amaze.
but it seems to work better when Jim does it because Jim doesn't when I'm like dude am I the only one that's crazy here? When Ben does it, I'm like, well you're on your own there buddy.. he was weird. Jim was the voice of reason.
+Side Effects Ben is on his own because he doesn't understand why everyone in the town is obsessed with a miniature horse or why Leslie pours large quantities of sugar on her spaghetti? Lmao alright dude.
lexi219 Sweetums child size sodas and Sir Freddy, Of Spaghetti fame.
WHAT!? Jim always looks at the camera because he thinks he's better than everyone else, Ben always looks because he's legit confused and always wondering if he's the crazy one.
I prefer ben looks. Jim looks hold too long and take you out of whats going on. Ben looks are more subtle.
I'm literally crying because I laughed so hard. Ben looking into the camera was my favourite running gag of the show tbh because he's literally me.
i literally don't think you know what literally means tbh
+Michael Doyle sigh. Rip anyone using literally properly. Though it's been changed in some dictionary's now so you can't complain anymore
PingPing The tiny chain smoker Sure i can, it still makes you look like a fucking idiot. funnily enough a dictionary can't save you from that.
Michael Doyle You're so sweet.
I think all pseudo nerds think they are Ben.
His glances towards the camera are always the best. The comedic timing is impeccable
ben and jim are literally the two characters i idolize. because apparently i'm so influenced by them, i tend to do this in real life. i don't have cameras following me around in real life, but i keep doing it. because of them. as weird as it is, i love it. my friends are used to it too.
I literally do this way too much.
Ron is who I want to be. Andy is who I am
I do this too
since there's no camera, where do u look at? just wondering
💫 I just do this 👀
it's the video I never thought I needed
Every time Tom Haverford does that smile thing :D
Miranda Torres YES!
Ikr. I love how he says lil puppy 😂
"and it's a nude"
Ben: "oh" 👀
there needs to be an "every time Ben Wyatt says 'calzone'"
Everytime Tom has a business idea
ArcaneHero czcams.com/video/6r17Ez9V3AQ/video.html
Every time Tom breathes*
I never realized how much he did this omfg
it's not just looking into the camera, it's a small cry for help.
I feel like everytime he looks into the camera its like me and a friend sharing a look of "What the fuck is happening"
What about a vid for every time Ron's mustache bristles with irritation?
isnt that every scene of him though?
Well, yes, he is something of a
perpetual irritation machine, but there are definitely times when he is even more annoyed than usual :D
That's for another video ;)
Ben looks at the camera when he’s scared, annoyed, or very confused.
Edit: Sometimes when he is very exasperated.
I love him.
Its funny how simply looking at the camera once in a while can drastically change the feel of a sitcom.
i literally love all the characters in this show. even fucking larry
terry tried his best and i loved him for it
Garry's daughter's were hot.
jerry is awesome
I love Barry
You mean Terry?
Do every time jerry says "oh jeez"
Imagine how Ben and Jim would react meeting each other. I bet they would both look into the camera.
"Are you...frying marbles?"-Ben Wyatt
I could be writing an essay but instead I'm here
Same. Priorities obviously
as much as I love Jim from the Office, Ben does the whole "look at the camera" thing a lot better
Try the UK Version, Martin Freeman does 'the look' really well
Story Time Freeman does any look better
Nathan Schaefer no, he doesn't
They both do it differently and do it the best in their own ways
They do it very differently. I personally prefer Jim's way
The thing that raises this from a wild idea to actual art is that there is *just* the perfect amount of context to each look.
8:10 is my favorite. SO subtle that I almost missed it when watching the episode the first time. One of the few times the camera doesn’t pan in to his face or that he doesn’t make some kind of face twitch or move. JUST the eyes.
Ben seems like a really cool guy lol. That makes me really wanna watch this series
OMG U HAVE TO WATCH IT! ITS ON NETFLIX!
Greater Dog Snowdin The first season sucks but once it gets going, it's one of the funniest and most lovable shows on planet Earth. Ron Swanson and Andy Dwyer are two of the greatest characters in television history.
Greater Dog Snowdin DO ITTT!!!!
I know that it is an awesome show. Where can I watch it if Netflix is not an option?
yeah, man!!
It's on Netflix.
Honestly Ben is me at school
Average Trash Can I agree Phamily
he isnt
When he looks at the camera, it’s his way of saying: “What is even going on...?”
Well, it took a year, but this video finally got noticed by NBC and has been "blocked in some countries." I'm so sorry if you're outside of the US and can no longer watch this!
Hoodie I'm in Australia, and the video is fine here :)
Here in portugal you can still see it :)
Still available in Italy :)
Still available in the UK. :)
Still available in Brazil. :)
You should make one of every time Chris Traeger saying "Literally"
Oh my gosh. That is. *litrally.* The best idea I've ever been given.
That video would be *literally* 70-hours long.
someone watched the entire show to make this
Poison Alice Duh
Poison Alice Ben wasn't in the first couple seasons though
Poison Alice what's wrong with that? I've watched the entire show 5 or 6 times
Joshua Cliche oh don't get me wrong i'm not saying it's bad. I'm just amazed at the determination. I can barely stay focused on one project for more than 2 hours ya feel me?
Flu season has to definitely be one of my favorite episodes
Ben made me have a huge crush on Adam Scott...then trevor in the good place promptly revoked that crush 😬
Shannon Rees bruh same 😂
If you haven’t already seen it, you should watch Party Down - it might restore it? Can’t say for sure because I got into Parks and Rec after already seeing it, but he’s the main character and it’s got a similar mad-cap vibe...
Lol How did Trevor revoke that crush? Trevor was pretty hilarious
@@obsessivefangirl5055 he was funny in a douche sort of way. So to laugh at, not with 😂
@@stinkyminky1379 yeah good point🤣 but I was more like if all demons look like Ben Wyatt I'll happily stay in the bad place forever😂
Plus it was funny seeing Adam in a negative kind of a character after watching him play a sweetheart like Ben
Quite possibly the best thing I've ever watched in my entire life
Alex G. Literally
this is the quality content I've been looking for
If you saw the office you probably noticed jim that he looks straight to the camera
This.
This is what I needed.
woah I just remembered that “Ben” auditioned for Jim.... both characters look at the camera 💀
I'm just like Ben in this except there's no camera and I look crazy lol.
Trevosaurus Deus Ex i thought I was the only one that did that!
Doctor: you have 12 minutes to live
Me: *pulls up this video*
"Good lord" That made me laugh so hard
Ben Wyatt is me at all times
i don't watch this show but i completely identify with this guy and his 'do you see what i fucking deal with?' look
Ben is my spirit I love him so much.
-Bridie - same😂
Your profile pic omg😫👌🏼

THIS. THIS WAS *THE VIDEO* THAT MADE ME WATCH PARKS AND REC.
I'M SO GLAD
Your commitment to putting the episode numbers and titles is awesome, thanks!
His face is always saying ''What in the fuck''
you should make a video for every time tom haverford does the smile thing.
Mark Maguire YESSS
THIS THIS THIS
Shapes...
or those scenes of everyone else copying his smile thing
They said "this is the most useless thing iv ever created, and it's also my favorite" and I find that beautiful
HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU HAVETO WATCH PARKS AND REC?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Answer: Not enough never enough
You did not waste 3 weeks. That was 3 weeks well spent
"This is the most useless thing I ever created and it's also my favourite" xD you go girl! that's brilliant
Alexandra Hennig Stop it with your british english. We spell our favorite over here properly, without "u"
Jason Skywalker Excuse me, we originated the language. ;)
cross referencing your bens, i see
This video is so perfectly organised it feels like Ben Wyatt was the one who made it.
11 minutes of Adam Scott looking at a camera confused? Best video ever.
when Zorp shows up Ben Wyatt's face will be melted off and used as fuel
Hail Zorp.
Zorp is dead. Long live Zorp.
Hoodie Hail Zorp
I love that you made this.
I never understood how Ben is scared of being on tv but he’s fine with being filmed for a documentary
I love that ben constantly seems like he was just thrown into this world where for some reason everyones filming these people and while he accepts it, hes still very aware of how strange everything is
This is the kind of content I like to see
this is the main reason I watch this show
11:37 i love him
Me: *desperately needs to finish a test review for a bunch of students who depend on me*
Also me: yeah watching Ben look at the camera seems like a good use of my time
also Jerry's Painting episode is a work of art
*I see what you did there*
This is a work of art people, soak in Bens one single expression
HIS EYES STARE INTO MY SOUL. AND THIS JUST EMPHASIZES HOW CRAZY LESLIE IS.
This may be the best video in CZcams history! Glad I’m not the only one that appreciates Ben’s looks into the camera; shit kills me every time 🤣🤣
3:55
"I do not condone violence--"
BANG CRASH BANG
Ellie Schwoop i thought that was funny
I feel like the person who made this video is a great human being and would make a wonderful friend. Like, who else would do this?
His “disapproving look into the camera” look is so consistently funny
The fact that I am watching this WHILE watching parks and rec WHILE wearing a parks and rec shirt really says something about my life
Where did you get the Parks shirt from?
