You forgot the part where they start a podcast with their friends, talk about random stuff for like 2 episodes, and then abandon it

When they've finally installed acoustic foam panels on their walls, you know it's already too late.

[WREDog]

That "This channel is basically becoming my job now" was perfect

[mistertwister]

You forgot when they inevitably try to write a book, because we all know making vlogs qualifies you as a good writer

Of your many brilliant sketches, this is the one I come back to the most. Partly because it brings me immense joy and partly as an invaluable roadmap of what not to do as a Youtuber 😅

i feel like this is what Leto II saw in his 3 thousand years of reign

[prometeomoderno]

This guy really knows how to make parodies without being too long or obnoxious

[yenzpz]

You forgot the quick gf cameo to let everyone know you're not single.

[AidenRKrone]

"I'm taking some time off to reflect and grow as a person" is hilariously accurate. Everybody YouTuber who encounters the littlest bit of controversy goes through that stage and uses that exact line.

[melkimolk]

I wanna know more about the tax fraud videos. Are they tutorials for how to commit tax fraud? Are they fun tips for making tax fraud more exciting? Tax fraud funny moments? I need to know more about this excellent subgenre.

[guitaro]

You nailed it. Very modern and accurate.

[GoldLink]

It's missing the short-lived music career where a shit song is made but everyone likes it for some reason
