Aaron Newitt thank you...thank you
Hahaha YES I was trying to read it the whole time! Wait, for the sake of this video I mean YAS queen!
What language? Is that a dumb question?
@@alonlychicken6703 Latin
@@sarahdangelo3168 It's Italian, not Latin 😊
100% Brennan already owned the armor before the skit
This was a skit? He owned this performance so well I figured this was a documentary of what he does at the office.
Apparently he actually owns the sword.
@@GerardInandan you misspeled obviously
@@fernandotrevinocastro1018 You misspelled misspelled.
as funny as that would be, not likely because the armor says live laugh love
I think the most impressive thing about this skit was that there was no last punchline invalidating the whole argument. They went all in, and didn't back out at the end like cowards.
This. I was holding my breath till the last moments, waiting for a basic CH moment where she says something else she does that even the knight had to roast her for or something, but I'm so glad it didnt happen.
Dude. Like I literally love being basic
I'm talking to girls on tinder, I'm just like
"hey"
"how u"
its how i live man
@@nx2120
Weeding out the insecure thots looking for quick validation so you can focus on the people actually interested? I can respect that.
@@gilgamesh7055 tbh, I don't even mind someone looking for attention/validation if they can communicate that in an emotionally mature way. Everyone's got wants and needs, can't blame them for looking to meet them. I feel like a ton of problems would be solved if people felt like they could just roll up and be real about what they are looking for. Emotional security? Attractive AF.
@@moss.miller wow why is that the most big-brained take about emotional relationships ive seen in years
The Latin on Brennan's armor translates to "Live, Laugh, Love" and I think that's wonderful
I came to the comments to find this information. Thank you for your excellence.
This is the thing I mention sending this to friends
Weird enough it's kind of unique and unbasic.
The attention to detail.
Actually translates to “to live, to laugh, to love.” Live laugh love would translate to “vive ride ama”
"But they're all the same!" "As are sunsets and rainbows" is a powerful statement
dude, I think I woke people up laughing at that. Brennen's deliveries are the best
That's great writing.
Don’t forget “you viper” as the kicker
I’m gonna use that a lot from now on.
Is there a double meaning in this? Because he kinda proves his point. Sunsets and rainbows look like two very different things but really it's just light that looks pretty. Is that a way of saying that it's the same thing but packaged differently?
Now every time anyone says "they're all the same" about anything I respond with "AS ARE SUNSETS AND RAINBOWS, YOU VIPER".
Jo Robins Yes, thank you! Now incorporating into my life
YES
I thought it was “As our sun sets in rainbows!” Because each sunset can produce an infinite amount of colors, besides just orange and yellow.
Honestly its kinda dumb how he compared the sun to a marvel movie cus like yeah sunsets happen everyday but you have to go and look at it and stop to think to enjoy it which is healthier than constant consumption of endless raw content
@@umstot3120 it's good raw content though.
College Humor: “How to tell if you’re basic”
6 years later
Also College Humor: “Defender of the basic”
Me: Hold on. This whole operation was your idea.
Top knotch reference.
If what you have told me is true, then you have gained my trust
That’s what we call character development
@@Kingdomheatsox2 brings me hope that people are still watching their videos.
Me: Wait so it’s all basic?
College Humor: Always has been.
This video has literally CHANGED MY LIFE, I think about it constantly. As soon as I feel ashamed of being a basic bitch I just remember Brennan's voice encouraging me and now I can finally claim: I am basic and free
Same, but in reverse. It's really helped the inner hipster/critic in me just chill. I now can enjoy basic things!
@@lavenderbee423 Good for you!
Preach. Like what you like. PSLs taste good, I won't pretend they don't.
You be you Elloy!!
Saaaame as a recovering hipster
Why do I feel like Brennan didn't even need to write any of this out and he just kind of got into "knight mode" and went to town in one take?
Pretty sure the outfit is in his car 'just in case'
I would be impressed, but not the least bit surprised.
*kNiGhT mOdE eNgAgEd*
This wasn't even a skit, they just happened to be filming
In my humble onion, the way he delivers everything so naturally makes the idea that it was prewritten more impressive.
They hit the jackpot when they hired Brennan, he's an awesome actor/comedian.
yeah i stopped watching ch cause they just got so boring and redundant but when they hired brennan they struck gold. He's such a great actor.
He will probably leave soon before they do cause that's what happens with CH. They get hired away
He’s breathing some old time College Humor back into the channel
He should, hes far too good for college humor
Yeah, especially the CEO sketches
“Hmmm we need a new sketch”
“I have a new set of armor “
“Hhmmm ok we can work with that, what do knights do?”
“They protect and defend”
“Isn’t that pretty basic”
“*in unison gasp *”
In my heart this is canon
i think this might actually be how it happened.
the plastic wire from the tag is still on the armor (right arm - from brennan's perspective - min 4:07)
I love this
You will not convince me this isn't how this happened.
The armor was provided but the sword is brennans own.
"As are sunsets and rainbows."
That's actually a damn good point.
That shit hit hard
Except it isn't because sunsets and rainbows are natural occurrences that amount to just being real pretty images while MCU movies are mediocre at best deliberate artistic endeavours that take up at least two hours of your life if you plan to watch them in full.
@@ginge641 You can't tell me there are no pretty images in marvel movies, and I have stared at sunrises and sunsets, and especially moon for more than two hours regularly for a period of time in my life. Lets you turn off your brain and just drift, or the opposite, check into your buzzing mind and feelings, go into your thoughts. It is, in fact, a damn good point, because not everyone likes or pays attention to sunsets and rainbows(or films), but those who do can find enjoyment in them for a number of reasons as different, and complex, and simple as a human can imagine.
@@ginge641 amazing how none of the things you said actually justified or explained why it's not a good point. the mcu has a lot of actual problems especially the recent ones, but being the same ain't one of them.
@@gwit4051 You not being able to read isn't my problem.
Anyone who calls someone basic as an insult is literally the most basic person ever.
Wait.
The paradox awaits those who utters it’s name
Finn O’Rourke basically, there’s no escape
Basic paradox intensifies
You're basic...
I used the basic to destroy the basic
Jokes aside, this actually has a nice message.
Wow 966 likes but no comments, thats... thats something.
I was low key thinking the same thing

Yes, yes it is.
@@emmabennett7699 I once saw a comment 5 years old with no replies/comments
I can tell when Brennan wrote a sketch because I can see him in the writers room wagging his finger and going “QUIT BEING MEAN FOR NO REASON”
My favorite part has to be when Ally takes a sip of the frappuccino, tries to act disgusted, but can't keep up the act. Masterfully done with the expressions
I've said this for thirty years: Hating something because it's popular is just as mindless as liking something because it's popular. Either way, other people are determining what you like.
"Orange Man bad" is one
No, u are not gonna change my mind, sir Basic
300th like
Jarad Richards
Nah, Trump made people hate him all by himself.
@@jaradrichardsC137 not the same buddy their are reasons to hate him
"so you would never do what a basic person does" "no" "so your taste is also definited by what everyone else does" lol I'm screaming
Yaaaassss😂✌️
Your comment is basic
Fluue All of our comments are basic
;(
I saw your profile picture. Now I'm screaming too.
The worst part about people hating on the "basic" is that it isn't about what everyone likes, its about what teenage girls/younger women like. No guy is ever called basic for liking watching basketball games, but teenage girls who like pumpkin spiced lattes are.
Nah, guys have it too, but it's IN the stuff they like. Like video games. "You play this game? You're basic" "you play this character in this game? Your basic"
Same goes for your favourite basketball players. If your favourite is LeBron, you're basic 😅
Yes, they are XDDDDD
Go back to watch "How to Tell if you're a Basic Bro". Both sides get the flak
My Favorite Pokemon is Pikachu, yes, I am a dude, and I get called basic plenty for that. But it may still be more prevalent for teenage girl interests. Would love to see some data on this actually. Lol
True, but if you stop and take a look at who is chiefly hating on "basic" female interests, it's mostly other women. When men take the piss out of each others interests it can quite often reach a fist to the face if it escalates but with teenage girls that just won't happen because of course it won't.
So rare to find comedy that is not cynical and negative. Love this
Not rare at all.
I love it too!
This was actually much more pure and wholesome than I expected.
Maverick Baking I know, right? College humor usually ends their videos with a sort of gotcha. Without that, this video is just pleasant and wholesome.
I really liked this video. :-D
Maverick Baking Patrick Warburton should have come in at the ending someway to tear it all down
One of their recent best!
Yeah, just what we needed
He's the hero we need but don't deserve

'As are sunsets and rainbows, you viper!' is not only a killer line but also suberbly delivered.
Tim de Visser Superb*
He said to look for quotes. This is my quote.
Such a beautiful line. I also love it.
No joke, I am citing this skit in my final essay in my Music History Class. I'm using it to draw a parallel between the great divide of modernism versus mainstream during the 20th century and the contemporary basic versus hipster cultural debate. They are basically the same arguments, and my essay basically takes the position of Brennan's character in this skit. You can like what you like. If listening to 4 and a half minutes of white noise is what you want to consider the pinnacle of art, more power to you. But when you look down on other people for wanting something a little more accessible, you prove yourself a hypocrite and an elitist. Am I taking this skit way too seriously? absolutely. But there are genuinely some beautiful bits of rhetoric in this that I think would be plagiarism not to disclose where I found it.
this is amazing, would love to read your essay lmao
@@_infires8543 Brennan was a philosophy major, it comes through in this sketch, as in a lot of things he does. Inspiring.
I wish i had thought of this for my music history paper last year, but i’m graduating in may so🤷🏻♂️
You’re right about not judging individuals for their taste, but there is a strong argument there has been a massive increase in the homogeneity of music since the US government lifted the limits on how many stations a company could own back in the 90s and Clearchannel went on a buying spree. So there is an underlying problem in a decline in music diversity, but it’s not due to peoples tastes being basic or anything like that
@WungusBill and the more so fullfilling feeling you get for seeing someone else happy, because you lift them up.
I vibe with the "Christmas lights make depressing rooms cozy" probably more than I should. My mum gave my a plastic ball with a small Christmas tree in it and small bits of plastic chopped to look like snow and you can light the tree and I used to light it up at least once a week when I was at my dorm room.
“As are sunsets and rainbows, you VIPER”
TheForestFamily me with my friends lol
Not gonna lie that was a good comeback for hating on marvel movies (and this is coming from somebody with superhero fatigue
Oh good, I find no joy in seeing either of those things...
Sue me.
Sued
Mr. Outlaw ,
holy shit. that was brilliant. all that buildup just to make fun of katie for not being verified
It makes sense, she's the druggie.
Yeah, true
Nah, just her boys negging her
Years later this sketch has honestly changed how I live my life.
Whenever someone tries to put down another for liking something "basic" or "common", or I catch myself doing it (or judge myself). I always remember sir John Doe saying "as are sunsets and rainbows, you viper!"
And I live by those words
YES!
This video is the polar opposite of gatekeeping and I love it
All gates lead to the Kingdom of the Basic.
Gateopening
Gonna go out on a limb and say that the prop and costume department didn't have to issue anything to Brennan.
The sword is actually his.
He actually has a pumpkin spice family crest.
They had to repatch the starbucks over the dragon with a dwarven beard crest on the armor (Probably), and thats It
So we're gonna need -
Brennan: Got it.
@WungusBill oh ok. Now I get it. PSL is basically just dwarven autumn grog with whip. Got it.
They just had to throw in the fact that Katie isn’t verified lmao
And she is still not.
And still not :)
Still not 🕳🚶♀️
Stillll not
Stiiil not
“Red bangs from beginning to end and only a fool would claim otherwise” I AGREE SO HARD RIGHT NOW. I feel massively called out by this sketch as a basic girl.

Not called out, celebrated.
As a guy, I am also a basic girl

This and Bo Burnham’s “White Woman’s Instagram” have really made me reevaluate how I view and treat people. Love what you love, so long as you aren’t hurting anyone, I’m just happy you found something you love and makes you happy.
Maybe reevaluate misogyny too. You're gonna need that
@@idontevenhaveapla7224
I do? I didn’t even realize I was being misogynistic. Could you help me understand why?
Bo Burnham's white woman's Instagram is literally the opposite of this this sketch.
It is also quite sexist.
@@alexskelton4150 The point of 'white woman's instagram' involves the person behind the instagram accounts that get made fun of for being basic having dimension and being fully realized human beings - it is a similar narrative point to this sketch.
@@LittleRedWhine I disagree, there is a moment in the song where the subject is given more depth, but the vast majority of the song is making fun of a woman for being basic. "Some random quote from Lord of the Rings, incorrectly attributed to Martin Luther King"- that's straight up just implying the woman is stupid. This is coupled with the video in which Bo Burnam holds a cup with 'Beyoncé is my spirit animal' on it, and wears culturally appropriative feathers- she is the target of the joke. We are meant to think that she's dumb, "incredibly derivative". It's nothing more than a white man making fun of a white woman, and hoping the "white" part disguises his misogyny.
"They're all the same though!"
"AS ARE SUNSETS AND RAINBOWS, YOU VIPER."
That was Shakespearean
And thus, the aggressor, who durst dare the knight's noble views, wast both pwned and burned by his words.
Exactly

Thank you.
“Beethoven actually refers to Charles Grodin’s character. The dog is Beethoven’s monster”
That opening line is fucking brilliant
I love how every (or most) episodes start with the end of some other conversation.
RIP Charles Grodin
Finally, a comment that talks about how funny this line is
THANK YOU, I was scrolling to see if I’m the only one! 300+ and growing strong
Can anyone ELI5 on this?
I love this sketch, it’s true. People who make fun of “basic” people are just covering up their own insecurities
I swear this video just makes me feel so.. safe..
I almost cry every time i watch it, it feels so validating and comforting for someone with terrible social anxiety, to know that I dont have to be excentric, or new, or different on purpose, we can all be what society deems "basic", our excentricities come from us being ourselves and just living how we feel comfortable! :D
Live, love and laugh my dearest
Honestly? Yeah
These words speak my heart. I periodically come back to watch this skit when I feel anxiety. Thank you Brennan!
Take comfort not sorrow in the fact it is IMPOSSIBLE to completely original on a planet of billions people. It's ok, it's good, the more we agree the better we are as a society, so long as no-one's Forcing anyone to agree on an opinion that doesn't hurt anyone.
Brennan is an incredible person
I'm just realizing that Brennan says "You can flirt with cute boys" and NONE of the four of them are attracted to guys.
Wait is jess lesbian?
@@rinnieunchanged Yes, her girlfriend/wife is on the mystery lie detector video.
@@rinnieunchanged Shes Bi

So basically, "let people enjoy things you edgelords" .
I can definitely get behind that, thank god cringe culture is dead.
Nebbus Have you heard about Homestuck? Cringe never dies.
@@InsaneLaughter01 Oh look, i found an edgelord :D
@@LordZeebee oh if anyone insults your anime kpop furry degeneracy they're edgelords? Good to know.
@@himlolo No no, i'm way more degenerate than that. But yes, people who get frustrated or angry that people enjoy entertainment they don't are pretty edgelord-y in my eyes.
Nebbus hello ready to rock with dark chocolate some bts and then a fat tøp poster and to top it off a picture of billy Joel or maybe John Lennon for some extra edge
Like how at the end Brennan doesn’t say I told you so he just nurtures their basic interests in a calm manner.
Everytime I read an "Interior Design trends that need to stop/aged poorly/what have you" article I find myself coming here to cleanse my soul of the writers hate of basic things.
I legit paused the video when he said “Christmas lights make small, depressing rooms feel warm and welcoming” to look up at my Christmas lights I just recently got for my small and depressing (even more so after my roommate moved out on me) dorm room. Yeah this video is legit, it may be basic but I have Christmas lights because IT WORKS, it really helped! Things do become “basic” because most people enjoy them, this message rings true
Dragon Smile I am considering Christmas light for a light source(for a small area where regular lights are too strong) for my “home office”(it is a shelf in a book shelf cause I don’t own a desk)
When I was in college I always liked how it looked in dorm rooms. They really were nice.
I’m gonna order some Christmas lights.
My room is simple af. No decoration. It looks tidy and vacant. I think my room look more basic than "basic room". They look more lively but because of that I can't really sleep because it's "too loud".
@@theabyssofjin3372 When I first saw your post I thought it was a poem bc all the 'looks' lined up.
They're taste is defined by what everyone else is into.
So you would never do what a basic person does?
No.
Oh! So your taste is also defined by what everybody else does?
I'm never recovering from this.
Aidan dude same 😂😂😂 that was one of those batshit eye opening moments

WE'RE FRAUDS
I always tell my boyfriend this but he's not convinced. He still thinks there's something superior about liking things that other people don't like
Only a sith deals in absolutes!
Wait isn't that in and of itself an absolute?
Everyone needs a Brennan lee mulligan to boost their self confidence and defend them.
You know what else is basic but has 100% validation?
Brennan Lee Mulligan being your favorite member of CH.
So what you are saying is Brennan playing this character is really just him defending his fans?
“So are sunsets and rainbows you viper”
This made me laugh harder than I have all day
My personal favourite is 'DRINK OR PERISH COWARD'
They actually touch on one of the most important notion of sociology when they say that hipsters or people who are not “basic” have personalities that also are just reactionary manifestation of interaction or perception of their world views. We all react to world, but to reject it or follow it is dependent on the individual taste.
Holy magikarp you're right
yup and even rejecting doesn't make the individual any more unique or less "basic", reactionary subcultures often romanticize their own rebellion without realizing 1. as you said, their ideologies are formed in response therefor completely reliant on others and 2. individuals belonging to these groups typically just regurgitate the pre established points of view, making them just as sheepy as main streamers, even those professing individual identity still form their choices and views on a number of preset identity paths
@@rz1974 Thank you. You just verbalized what I've been trying to describe for quite a while. Just because you wear cord and eat vegan doesn't mean you're any less basic than someone who drinks Starbucks and shops at Zara. They're just different kinds of basic.
@@rz1974 "regurgitate the pre established points of view," True for most hipsters, but in my case I never really found a "group" I felt comfortable with, not even on the internet. So I've spent my whole life trying to evaluate things on their individual merits, which of course makes my tastes a mixture of basic/hipster/super-weird, thus alienating me from all social groups. I don't know if that means I'm successfully following the middle path of the examined life, or if I'm just a gold-medalist at mental gymnastics trying to lay claim to the title of Ultimate Snowflake. But its not like I want to be different, its just really hard to find people that share my worldview.
Not necesarily. Your opinions and tastes could intersect and yet not be defined by the norm. To reject some parts and follow others in an amount expected from total randomness is the "true hipster"
Somehow this seems more valid coming from Brennan, who arguably has the most niche interest of the CH cast that is now literally his full time job
"red bangs from beginning to end and only a fool would claim otherwise" as someone who never listens to anything remotely similar to taylor swift's music, but frequently listens to red, i wholeheartedly agree.
Same. That album is dope.
Katie isn't even verified😂
Chromosome .....cause of the cocaine problem I bet
That line actually made me laugh out loud

"They're all the same though!"
*"As are sunsets and rainbows, you viper!"*
But no two sunsets or rainbows are the same.
@@ravenblackwood9900 Just like the Marvel movies. :D
I’m gonna use that response if someone ever tells me a group of things is “all the same.”
What does that mean can anyone explain.
@@Aiibh All sunsets and rainbows are the same, and yet we still marvel at them every time we see them.
I love how these are just all just excuses for Brennan to monologue
This is probably my favourite CH sketch of all time. I used to be like Trapp and Ally in this sketch but after I watched it, I was genuinely changed. Amazing message!!
*Yeah Brennan's amazing.*

@@nickhyuga4058 mental state of a 15 y/o channer
I also love this because a stereotype of nerdy DnD loving men is that they're gatekeepers and judgemental of mainstream things and I think it can be a self fulfilling prophecy and young boys see that and think that'd how they should act but here is the king of the nerds saying 'let people like what they like and be kind about it!'.
The greatest part of this whole skit is that Brennan didn't have to act at all
"as are sunsets and rainbows, you viper" and "hipster swill". He did such a good job with his voice.
Oh man, found out he does the web comic strong female protagonist.
The hipster swill lines makes me laugh. I think we all know those pretentious coffee drinkers that grimace with each sip of whatever, but then give others grief for going with something basic and cheap that they actually enjoy.

I heard "18 Marvel Movies" and immediately checked to see that this was made in 2018! Apparently wanting to own all Marvel movies is just as timeless as this sketch
the “you would never like what a basic person likes?” “no!” “so your taste is *also* defined by other people!” was just so pure brennan
I wasn't laughing-out-loud laughing but this sketch is so well-written.
They got me at the end with "Katie's not even verified"
Me too. Also, I am kind of basic so this resonated with me...
Sums up most ch sketches
CryingBuddha everyone is at least a little bit basic. Basic is what the majority of people like after all
I think it generally had a good message.
Really like how they didn’t have a twist ending that invalidated the heart of the piece. I’m glad the message could remain positive.
Tyler Raymond YES.
SAME. I get so mad when they mess up a great, meaningful video with some twist in a try-hard attempt to make it better, relatable, or even, dare I say, funny. 😩
Yeah, Like 'Don't Start Podcast.'
YES I WAS AFRAID OF THAT

I just performed this as an open interpretation in a speech and debate league. I placed 20th in my state, and owe it all to Brennan. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done and continue to do.
Belated congratulations!
@@juliacollins7731 It makes me so happy that someone read my comment. I'm not making this up, I scooped a bagel and made my favorite quote a Spotify playlist today.
This sketch lived in my brain rent free and I hope the CH staff know how much I think about it
theres a reason all these things are so popular- theyre universally acknowledged as enjoyable and safe! no one should feel ashamed to like what they like. i wanna apologize to all the girls i ever made fun of for being “too girly” or “so basic”- you guys are wonderful. love what you love.
Username checks out.
I forgive you
I agree when the people actually like it. What's sad is there are wayyy too many people who do things just because they're so common and don't think for themselves about what they want for themselves without only thinking about what others do or think.
yeah tbh i think a lot of the basic hate is just misogyny in a hat and fake moustache, like hating girls for doing anything is so ingrained
happens to guys too (fuckboys much?) but nowhere near the level it is for women
@@acookie7548 Cuz guys are more pressured into it by their friends, as women are pressured into it by strangers.
I had no idea a college humor skit could be so wholesome, and I was fully expecting it to be cheaply undercut with the end joke but they didn't and I love it. Well fucking done.
I WAS SO SCARED! BUT THEY DIDN'T! YAY!
I am genuinely surprised that 110 people shared the same fear (which I also had).
Love the F-bomb in the comment about enjoying how wholesome the sketch was.
Dunking on Katie not being verified is the closest they came, and I’m so glad ^_^
I was like "where is Brennan gonna pop out" and low and behold... he's in fucking armor.
Mike is great at delivering lines in a way that make me forget I'm watching a skit.
He's got that believable conversation tone down
Brennan is the best thing that's happened to CollegeHumor in years.
He's just a guy in a costume putting on an English accent. Could've pulled any nobody off of the street to do the job to the same standard.
McKayonaise No-
Ole Goes obviously you haven't watched all of Brennan's videos
Josh Ravenhill - I'm not sure what you are getting at.
McKayonaise im getting a vibes that youre
scottish lol
I love how the motto on his coat of arms is latin for "live, laugh, love"
Deadlyish really? I can't make out the letters
and his name is sir john doe
That is Fucking amazing
Vivamus risu caritate
Yeah but should have been imperative. they put "to live, to laugh, to love" instead
I like to imagine that the costume people were like "oh damn, where are we going to find a suit of armor to go with the Defender of the Basic ?" and Brennan was like "dont worry about it, i gottchu"
Brennan owns the sword, they made the armor.
"Red bangs from beginning to end and only a FOOL would claim otherwise!" so true XD
Edit: Thanks for the likes, Swifties!

I'm a believer now. Was very unsure at first. Kinda the way I really disliked Murph for a long time, then suddenly, I couldn't get enough of him beating Jake's weak ass. Still want more Zac, tho :(
Wow a wholesome Collegehumor sketch that can actually positively change people's world view!? This is genius.
1:50 I love the disgusted look on her face while she’s trying to hate it then the resignation that it’s actually good
Brennan is amazing please never loose him.
Aden oh they will, eventually a bigger company will offer more money and a better deal and it wouldn't make sense for such a talented writer to stay. As sad as it is thats the way its always been with talented writers at CollegeHumor.
Siobhan left because she wanted to write and work on something bigger
That was genuinely sad when Jess felt the need to apologize for the candles...
IKR! I felt so sad!!
Justin Klett yea I felt that I apologize for liking stuff a lot just because my friends don't like it
I want to like it, but it has the perfect amount of likes
This is awesome. Shaming people for being "basic" is so damn dumb.
This one made me legitimately smile from beginning to end, was something to take back the whole argument but there wasnt! Just enjoying what people like, made me happy to see!
i lowkey love this sketch. i love ariana grande and hamilton and the US version of the office. popular things are popular for a reason!!
Brennan fit into that role like a glove fits a hand
lol
I mean, he did write it 👀
It's why he makes such a great Dungeon Master
@@gracereads2917 Beat me to it. Lol.
my hands are too big for 99 percent of gloves so HA
“That’s crazy, Katie’s not even verified” I checked it’s true lol.
The sir barks a lot or katie
This made me laugh too, always got to make a dig at Katie
Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton I love your username
“As are sunsets and rainbows you VIPER” sold me completely. I truly was a fraud. I liked feeling unique and smart, but in the end my choices were still defined by other people, so what difference did it really make? Turns out, none. Now I just like what I like and if my opinions line up with the majority or not, I don’t care. It’s silly how freeing it was.
My teacher linked this video to my video record, because I said "I'm too basic, I listen to pop and singers like Ariana Grande". Lol love her
Honestly this changed my entire perspective on "basic" people. While no video can magically make me like Taylor Swift, this made me a bit more comfortable with the fact that autumn colors are fuckin relaxing and the vanilla colors of lights, and scents of candles, are amazing.
lullabun "Autumn leaves fall down like pieces into place" - Taylor Swift
Abdullah Ansari and I can picture it after all these days
lullabun but Red bangs from beginning to end!
Red is an amazing album.
Red is a creative color.
I love these little intros where they talk about some random shit for a few seconds before the actual narrative starts.
also this new guy is really really good.
frank unodostres If you look at the writers laptop screens during scenes you will see they always have some out of place object opened up in images. Like a cowboy hat or a pyramid.
College humor basics right there
Yea me too like how tall is grant in the start they saying that trap murdered pat and we should call the police then trap comes
I send this video out every pumpkin spice season to every person who makes fun of my halloween-themed coffee shake. Thank you for your service, Brennan
I saw this video for the first time when I was like 14 and it made a genuinely kinder and more chill person
this video holds a special place in my heart
"They're all the same though!"
"As are sunsets and rainbows, you viper!"
Seriously, you guys better keep onto Brennan, Or I've got a pumpkin spice latte loaded water gun aimed straight at all of you
“Katie isn’t even verified” idk why but I’m dying at that
Cause you're basic like that.
@@kuropotato8097 but that's okay
@@alexwitt2745 ofcourse
thats what got me too I cracked up harder than the whole rest of the video
Two years on and she still isn't.
Still even 2 years later this is a gem of a sketch
'Red' being a banger album is the hill I will die on
Brennan has excellent narration and vocals
Brennan is so fucking excellent. Quality sketch. CH has been superb recently. Best it has been in some years. Well done to all.
Michael Jamieson Comedy yeah I'm actually watching their videos again after so many years of not watching. The quality is reminiscent of their old stuff, but I do miss Jake and amir :(
Love Brennan!!! I literally can't stop watching the Tide Pod CEO
FVCE ...and Streeter and Dan and Josh and Sarah and Pat and
Yeah Brennan is awesome, I won't miss a single sketch that he's in
BEEF GUREWITCH!!
Definitely right about the Christmas lights. Though I don't have any in my room anymore. I love the bit about the MCU. Especially the line about sunsets and rainbows. I wouldn't say pizza is my favorite food, but I certainly do enjoy pizza and tacos as reliable go-tos. I love dark chocolate, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with preferring milk chocolate. I will almost never turn down the opportunity to belt out Don't Stop Believin with a group of like-minded individuals. I love doggystyle. Pumpkin spice lattes are delicious and vanilla bean candles smell delightful, but you're not going to catch me with either of them because it's just not my style. Also, the sexy cat costume is extremely overdone and I will laugh at it every year with my friends until the end of time, but a really good one will also catch my eye for sure. Also, I would be lying if I said I didn't always automatically cringe at the phrase, "live, laugh, love". That doesn't mean I'm better than people who do those things or use those things. We all have our flaws. These are just my opinions on the specific "basic" things.
Also though, I just want to point out that this man is literally an Internet White Knight right now and I find that hilarious.
I love how Brennan speaks in the British accent when he's sounding aggressive and then changes to the American accent when calm and soft 💀.
This was actually insightful. People often do different things just for the sake of being different. No purpose outside of it.
Horus Hunter that's what I actually think and sometimes being different is a pattern and therefore you are being basic, too.
Some people have unpopular taste in certain things. The most common case being music. But people who call out "basic" fit that criteria. Though to some extent I can agree with them.
I fucking love hot topic, I dont care how basic it is! I get all my best Disney inspired dresses there :3
Often is the key word, cause being "basic" is not only enjoying nice things, its also a lack of effort to look for other quality things that actually exist out there.
But different things are refreshing and you can get sickened of basic things if you hear/smell/see/use them a lot.
Moral of the sketch:
Hating basic things don't make you cool
And also don't be afraid of being basic, there is NOTHING wrong with it
@@zsoltsiro1310 exactly, everyone is special, but their taste in things doesn't have to be unique, just love what you like, live and let live
@@hirako7620 Yea, choosing your tastes based on what is "unique" is even more sad than just liking commonly liked things.
This video *bangs* from beginning to end.
This might actually be the best thing CH ever did. Yes. People like what they like and there's no shame in liking what's popular.
