Looking through a Bob Ross magazine | ASMR, Soft-spoken

Description: Let's flip through a Bob Ross magazine and learn a bit about his life.

“Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you're willing to practice, you can do.”
― Bob Ross

Here's two profound quotes by Dr. Carl Sagan, who we discuss in the second half:
▸"We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology."
▸"Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality." -Dr. Carl Sagan

I love how he laughs every time he “beats the devil” out of his paint brush 😭

It's weird when you realise Bob Ross was once a guy who'd shout at you to take 20 laps for being late for roll-call.

Edit: I had to edit out 3 different bob ross clips and the owners (not Bob's family) finally allowed the video to be monetized and visible in England and Germany.

Original post: FYI, the Kowalski's strike again... this video got demonetized (and entirely removed in The UK and Germany) because they disputed two 30-second clips that were relevant to the story. I hope they will be resolved if I edit them out, but seems greasy and greedy. I probably won't be supporting Bob Ross Inc. in the future.

I remember watching his show when I was a child and feeling so relaxed and calm. After many years I realized it was ASMR what I felt back then.

I saw his paintings in exhibition not so long ago. In real life they’re even prettier and they look so much sharper than those old camera’s could record.

[benflis]

My initial experiences with ASMR on YouTube were just watching his painting videos and compilations of his knife sounds, and you’ve been the main channel I’ve fallen asleep to for a long time now, so a dedicated Bob Ross video from you is like ASMR coming full circle for me. I know I’ll be falling asleep to this many times!

30:05 nope, he never painted any people. in fact he didn't even want to suggest people, if you notice he never actually puts chimeys on his cabins implying no one lives there.

“We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents” - Bob Ross

He was the type of guy you could just watch even if you aren’t painting or don’t know how to just watching him gave a sense of relaxation and comfort. Amazing guy he was 🙌🏼

[jf...a-pt]

Remember that the couple that now owns all his paintings basically stole them from him. He was dying and they sued him, they wouldn't let him appear on any other programs and sent a cease and desist order to the show (I think it was sesame street) telling them that they would sue if they aired the show

I remember seeing Bob everyday when i came back from school, it was super relaxing. I loved him so much, i still do, will always do.

I've always liked Bob Ross' teaching style; he seemed like such a sweet soul to me. I've heard a bit about his background story before, and already know this series will be a beautiful tribute. Maybe you should show off your paint-along skills some time! haha :D

[samanthajoy]

Bob Ross is The Godfather of ASMR. I wonder what he’d say if he were around today to see the community that still follows him

7:26 I love how you turned your voice down to a whisper here! My scalp tingles were off the chart. Haha. Thx!☺️

[oldirtyjosh]

Oh snap! Followed his show since I was a kid but didn’t even know ASMR was a thing back then. He definitely was my first Asmr experiences. Thank you for this on buddy Rich

[courtneymagnuson]

YESSSS! Bob Ross was the first ASMR!! My mom would put him on and I would totally relax…LOVE THIS! 💯💯🙏🥰😝❤️

[strydyrhellzrydyr]

OMG... UR FRICKING KIDDING ME...
THAT IS THE ONE I TRYED TO DO AS MY FIRST PAINTING... THE NORTHERN LIGHTS... I NEVER FINISHED IT. BUT IM PROUD OF THE MOUNTAINS AND LIGHTS... It's my fav to

[jacobremillard]

My grandpa was pretty good friends with Bob Ross. He said he was an awesome guy who was super nice to everyone, even to a fault.

This is where my ASMR started, when I had the feeling but no clue what it was. I'm turning 38 and started watching around 1990. Every Saturday at 1pm on PBS, I always never finished an episode as I'd wake up an hour or two later. Bob Ross is the Original ASMR O.G.

[abyss]

When I was younger my grandfather (still alive) would always have bob ross playing in the living room, I’d sit on the couch and watch with him and always and I mean always fall asleep. Ever since I knew who he was I have always been a fan of his art and way of living. Rest in piece ❤️

[druidlololol]

One of my earliest memories of Internet ASMR are that of Bob Ross parodies on YouTube. They were dark, funny, but most importantly, relaxing and helped me found the work of this amazing man.
