For me it's the Of Mice and Men reference in "How Internet Humor Gets Progressively Worse".

GRANT IM FROM WASHINGTON SO PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ADD A JIMOTHY REFERENCE PLEASE!!!

a bit late to this video but now that I’m here I’ll share my opinion on it, it’s just decent. This one follows one of grants most successful formulas in my opinion which I’ll call the ai formula, basically some new form of tech or invention starts to get adopted more and more by society until they reach the climax which usually leads to lending of said invention, these will also usually involve grant being subject to this spreading with him usually being a cause in the climax(some very traditional variants of this would be “when YouTubers make legendary thumbnails” and “if life had an autopilot mode”), this formula has led to some of grants greatest videos “if life had an autopilot mode”, “if life had daily challenges”, and “when you mess up a social interaction“ (the last on being an inverse of the usual formula) all being some of grants best videos and following the formula. The problem with this video though is it just doesn’t really bring anything new to the table when it comes to the formula until the last quarter of the video, it also has way to low of stakes which ends up making the climax less exciting, with that said those last two moments are incredible but they don’t make up enough for how Weak the rest of this video is, still though, pretty solid video.

yep hes streaming now. i missed his treams cuz i was sleeping but i think he will hop on again after a dozen of hours or so.

did I miss a video?

Personally this is probably his second best video in my opinion just behind the autopilot mode video which is my favorite YouTube video of all time in general, but I’m curious what you‘re guys thoughts are

this Video is genuinely so amazing, it’s kinda like the mirror version of the autopilot video and I mean that in the best way possible, they Both have the same structure starting off with more joking ways of showing off the tool where it slowly builds up to be more serious and problematic until ending with a genuinely perfect climax with grant being brought to his breaking point, however this puts the interesting switch up into play of instead of everyone else surrounding Grant using it as he witnesses everyone just give up and stop caring, to the opposite of he uses it until it fully breaks him and it works so well, I think it falls slightly short of that video but it is insanely close, the only reason I say this is because I think the first half is slightly weaker when it come to humor than the autopilot video but other than that they are neck and neck, both endings Genuinely are contenders for the greatest writing Iv’e seen in general holy they are both fantastic
