“Episode 223: The Story Begins” is such an underrated joke
How is it underrated?
@@janelantestaverde2018 I didn’t even catch it the first time I watched this video, and, at the time of posting that, I hadn’t seen any other comments mentioning it. I just think it’s a really clever joke
to find out who Cecil woods is, go back to episode 24
Agreed. Looking right at you, The Black Tapes...
Oh shit I didn't even think about it...
".. but the voice of a 29 years old actor" killed me
Best line!

This happens when I give my students a minimum word count. Though I can only wish they were as eloquent.
LOL I remember doing stuff like this to pad my word count in school. So glad I don't write essays for a living.
@@rushthezeppelin When you look for it, you find that kind of padding everywhere.

25 seconds of the actual event and 5-8 minutes of anchors and guests speculating and opinionating about the subject.

Sounds like maybe you shouldn't be giving your students a minimum word count
I can guarantee you, as a student my essays were significantly shittier once I had to stretch and oblige 2 very well written pages into 4
"Episode 223: The story begins.."
😂
And that cliff hanger ending! What are we to do???! (And if only there was an emoji of biting fingernails to the kwik)
Revolutions podcast be like
You got me.
Damn it's so accurate though, it's a common podcast format to start out with a very exciting and intriguing "hook" introduction on episode one to get you into it, but then they take a giant step back and have to go into detail about a ton of background info before getting to the actually relevant part of the story a million years later.
I hovered my mouse over a mysterious symbol that appeared to be a hand with thumb sticikng up... and clicked very slowly...
"A crude representation of an erect human fist".
I made sure to move my mouse over the text with letters reading out "S", "U", "B", "S", "C", "R", "I", "B", and "E". What is the purpose of this button? I ask myself, but I quickly remember I know englsh, and I'm able to conciously summon up a word attached to this particular order of letters.
"Subscribe", I mutter the crytic message to myself.
As I went to depress my finger upon the mouse, I came to a horrifying realization. The bell wasn't located next to the word!
That concludes part 254 of my comment. Please wait for the next part.

@@queenigelkotte Prison as I understand it even now, is meant to be a restrictive, isolated hell. It's Prison. Not after school detention. The mere concept of listening to a podcast is and should be a luxury to inmates.
This was the moment I realised it’s not satire; it’s cultural speedrunning.
I gona use this word unironically in place of satire from now on

Watching them certainly is.
It's the cultural equivalent of the martial arts training disks in The Matrix.

“He had a face that had seen many winters, but the voice of a 29 year old actor.”

Well, technically 29 winters are already quite a lot ^-^
To be fair, Karim Kronfli (VA of Simon Fairchild) is older than 29.
@@schmohobzsia7216 and Simon Fairchild is an immortal (though killable) servant of a thing that is the terror of eternities. his voice not quite matching his physical appearance, which already doesn't match his actual age, is rather in character.
Slander! Absolutely slander! His VA was spot on perfect! Personally what I thought of was The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home.

Hey I saw you on the Batwoman mauler vids but I think I could be wrong
@@momocal9660 You'd be right! Batwoman is so fascinatingly bad that it's easy to pull teachable lessons on the fundamentals of storytelling, and I got into the habit of posting them on the EFAP videos.
You'd be amazed the number of writers who use description like this.
@@snowbeast4463 Yep, so overcomplicated that the reader entirely misunderstands what they're describing because if they've made such a big deal of describing it, it must be something unusual.
From "Never heard of spooky podcasts" to "I have listened to every existing spooky podcast" in less than 2 minutes.
That's Scandinavian efficiency.
Oh, sorry, wrong Scandinavian crime drama spoof!
I’ve kinda listened to one or two but I’m pretty sure I’ve never finished one. But that speaks more to my ADD than any quality or lack thereof of the podcasts themselves.

I see someone else started season 5 of TANIS confused.
@@lawrencecalablaster568 haha, I don't think I ever made it to season 5, I listened to it around the time season 2 was airing and just remember that happening at least once and being so annoyed by it
I think I made it to season 3, but its been so long and I'm in need of some background noise so I'm considering another listen
These podcasts have done so much for the ambient post-rock genre.
@@VileFemboy By consistently using ambient post-rock in their production and in turn increasing the listenership of the genre.

"For Christ's sake use Squarespace" hahahahaha you've done it again Mr Beckett-King!
I could have sworn it was Roman Mars himself cutting in for that bit.
Okay but that Cecil Woods reveal was stunningly well-executed. I’ve been in shock for years now.
I love the inclusion of a character named Cecil (pronounced see-sill). Would it really be a spooky podcast without at least one Cecil, Sasha or Peter?
Imagine they also had a Jurgen...

"episode 223: the story begins" was a strong opener, and the rest of the vid did not disappoint.
"From the sound of his boots crunching, over the ground, I could tell that his feet were walking"
I'm fucking dead
TFW you have to meet the word count on your essay
i didn't sound too out of place, that's the crazy thing. People do say that

I flatlined twice
From the sound of my heart pounding in my chest, I could tell my life was still there. Then suddenly, from the sound of a strange anguished cackle, I could tell my throat was laughing.
Ahem. I am an executive producer for the podcast division of iHeartRadio and this hits WAY too close to home. Job well done!
Oh, wow, you are! I've heard your name in the credits of some of my old favorites.

1:45 *THE MUSIC, I CAN'T--* 😂😂😂😂
Can't wait for season 2 where they try to do the same thing but different this time.
I sat there with my phone in my hand. Slowly, I moved my thumb toward the like button, ironically also a thumb.
I typed a comment with my fingers which had typed many comments, posing dramatically in the middle of a sentence before deleting what I had wrote and writing a new one. The camera made a close up shot of the new sentence because it was plot relevant, until I remembered in shock that this was about podcasts.
This is plain _golden-_
I stared nervously at the loading bar, on the precipice of either auto-saving or crashing down upon the desktop littered with icons. Seemingly subconsciously, I scrolled to the depths of a comment section within what appeared to be what some call youtube. My anxiety rose, as the loading bar seemingly appeared to stall - dramatically - just at the precipice. Averting my gaze, I noted a jape by Count Noctilus, threatening to draw my attention into a momentous maelstrom, only to be saved by the auto-save completing and the end turn beginning to crawl by, despite the modifications that had been devised within the Workshop of Steam. The camera was momentarily transfixed, as Count Noctilus had seemingly alt-tabbed himself to follow me, abandoning his siege of Lothern to sail up the river of ash, striking deep into the still heart of Khemri. With auto-resolve in my heart, the scion of Sylvania seemingly retreated back to the youtube comment section, leaving no apparent sign of his appearance, but a Leadership bonus for sea battles, seemingly taunting me as I turned in the direction most know, as southward, to the distinctly land-based threat of Prince Imrik's aerial assault.
35 seconds in, it's already pure gold... Casper mattresses and Bombas socks 😂 and the *accent* omg! never would have guessed it wasn't a native accent! but ofc it has to be American!
The second you said "The man Im going to refer to as" I knew this would be all too accurate
"a face that had seen many winters, but with the voice of a 29 year old actor" goddamnit
The scariest part is always the poorly chosen/badly timed adverts and sponsors.
Story’s about a car crash? Lets advertise Volvo lmao
Actually done right that would be brilliant.
I arrived at scene, the driver's body was lifelessly twitching behind the wheel, dead. --Cut in advert-- The car wasn't Volvo, but some other brand...
Facts
@Ekaros Haha that’s like the Specsavers advert (those from the UK will get it)
Roasted!
@@k.c7655 My fav is the kids getting turned into pancakes by a driver (saw it as a kid and immediately knew it was going to become a meme)
this appears to be a podcast, one that is of a "scary" nature. Once I clicked, the page loaded... I stood there... waiting for the website to load up the sinister podcast. In the blink of an eye, the page changed completely. The podcast appeared to have started, as I was hearing vibrations... words.... from my Noise-Cancelling Headphones (TM) sponsored by Company. The podcast appeared to have been a... "parody"... of some kind. A rather... "pleasant" one. In one fell swoop, I dragged my mouse, moving the cursor on the... "like" button.
I clicked "like."
Life was certainly good... for now
I don't even know what this is satirizing, but I can tell it's accurate.
I do know, and yeah, pretty much.
someone in my discord said it could be the magnus archives, but as the title suggests this is literally every single spooky podcast
@@uwuaxolotluwu3626 nope. This is very specifically parodying Tanis.
I was getting some Welcome To Nightvale from it, with a little This American Life thrown in.
@@tjzambonischwartz down to the artwork. I do love that show.
Super accurate for basically every Pacific Northwest Stories podcast, especially The Black Tapes. They definitely go for tone over story, the "what's a podcast" joke is used multiple times, it takes forever for the story to actually go anywhere, the whole NPR announcer voice thing, and the fact that keep introducing character names and plot threads to the point that it becomes impossible to keep track of.
The only inaccurate thing with the parody: the voice acting was TOO good. 😂
After wasting many, many hours on "The Black Tapes," I realized that there were no storywriters, they were just making it up as they went along and had no idea how to conclude anything...so they just copped out. It's why I stopped listening to spooky podcasts.
So accurate. So fucking accurate. The Black Tapes would die at the accuracy
I was thinking the exact same thing 🤣
Don't forget Tanis and Rabbits the same exact show with the same voices you're already heard before.
@@MrVoid666 I enjoyed the black tapes, and I enjoyed about three episodes of Tanis. I listened to the whole first season of rabbits and I could not tell you what happened in it. Not because it was confusing but because it was boring.
I'm just re-listening The Black Tapes and that's 110% accuracy right here.
@@andrewfsheffield i think I made it to season 3 of black tapes can't exactly explain what if anything happened I did prefer tanis if only because its focused on one idea and still much like the black tapes I can bearly remember anything actually happening other than nick taking a trip to Tanis entirely off recording :/, I didn't even start rabbits I just took an educated guess.
I'd best describe the aforementioned material as all of the pontificating you're supposed to be doing inbetween the chapters of an interesting book and a bit atmospheric exposition and very little of the actual interesting chapters.
"...in the Pacific Northwest" already creased
Me who has never heard a spooky podcast in my life: Haha lol so accurate!
At least you've now seen one Scandinavian crime drama.
Imagine wasting 300 hours of your life, only to be resolved by the house settling.
If you're interested to be spooked or just chill with it in a background. There's some interesting ones regarding Skinwalker ranch or some Missing-411 like stories. I could look something up if you're interested. Right now I can't remember
Likewise
Go listen to exactly one episode of Tanis. And you will get every single joke in this skit. Don't listen to more than one episode because Tanis sucks.
LOL the name drop of someone that may or may not have already been mentioned but you can’t recall is so painfully accurate
The more you listen, the more your head narrates your life.
"The more you listen, the more your head narrates your life," the comment said.
I leaned back in my chair, pondering what it could mean, then resumed eating my bowl of semi-skim milk and breakfast crunchies.
the comment was pretty edgy, and could lead to a feedback loop. i decided it was pretty edgy and just stopped attention, to write a snarky comeback
I don't mind the mental narration but when my head-voice becomes male and British, I need to pause and stop binging Ashens and TMA at the same time. I was mentally British for WEEKS.
"Stop saying Cecil weirdly!" really got me.
Demand for the prequel series, Cecil's Tuesday, is topping the charts.
Man I love the Magnus Archives but they’re just exactly like this
Exactly what came to mind when I watched this 😂
Lmao yeah
if you think the magnus archives are like this (i would disagree but yknow it was pretty far from it) you should listen to the black tapes jsut for one episode randomly cuz this is literally the black tapes (the black tapes isnt a very good horror podcast)
@@neos8421 Yeah this doesn't really describe TMA. Except maybe for when Jon gets into one of his zoning out bits and rambles through the story.
@@neos8421 I mean the Cecil Woods part really gave me TMA, at times John will say a name while ominous music starts playing and I have no clue who that is cuz I'm bad with names
Alright you beautiful bearded goddess I think its about time you sort out that sub count and start getting the recognition you deserve.

I'm just glad I subscribed so I never miss a new post now
Agreed. I just found his channel and am sharing as much as I can.
"Episode 223: The Story Begins"
I'm unsure what's worse, that they did 222 episodes without saying anything, or that the guy skipped two hundred episodes.
"A slice of hinged wood" is genius
I'm going to patent that idea
"Slice of hinged wood" is the premier way to describe a door
If we don’t get this as a 12-part series, I don’t know what I’ll do.
12? I think you misspelled 2,112.
"I hesitated dramatically before answering"
Satirizing bad writing so well actually takes skill. Well done!
"Generica Rand, Whitey Rand, and Randy Whiteman"
"Casper mattresses and Bombas Socks"
😂😂😂💀💀
100th like 👍🏾
haha yes, I laughed way to hard at Generica Rand xDDD
That last part with the Cecil Woods Recreational Ground(s) kind of reminded me of how Jon Sims (the writer/actor) would zoom in on Google Maps enough that people would find it eerily specific.
Damn fricking accurate. Dude you have so much creativity. And so much content. This must be a team effort. I refuse to believe these are the works of a single man.
ABK isn't real. He's *clearly* computer generated. I mean, real hair doesn't look like that amazing! And how could any actual human be capable of the switching accents so flawlessly? It's obvious, when you put all the pieces together.
They're still trying to get the eyebrows right, though.
But he’s interdimensional, so anything is theoretically possible....
the fucking REVEAL TWIST at the end i am... in awe. I gasped so loud.
As someone who adores horror podcasts, I equally love and hate this.
Based on the way my brain was interpreting vibrations, I could tell that my ears were listening.
How do you manage to capture the essence of these things so perfectly!
And that ending was absolute gold!
You even got the slight delay in annunciation. Perfection.
Dude!! 😂🤣🤣 The level of your talent for comedic satire is turned all the way up to 11! 🤘😂 You nailed EVERY type of scary podcast in one. 🤣
Oh my god, “discarded Casper mattresses and Bombas socks” had me weeping with laughter!!!
"For Christ's sake, use Squarespace!"
Well, you convinced me!
I’ve never heard a horror podcast better than The Magnus Archives.
Try Bedtime Stories. The writers don't fall into any of these traps. Even better, they don't use sponsors, ever.
Magnus Archives is great, but I really don't like the overarching plot, especially when the end of the world came. I personally would've liked them more if they remained like their earlier episodes, just a researcher looking at and trying to make sense of weird cases
@@Zooasaurus I got to season 4 and lost interest. Too much interpersonal drama between characters I don't really care much about.
How dare you forget the masterpiece that is Jessica's Wednesday we just heard
@@lazynoodle6739 I absolutely adore Jessica's Wednesday too! Check out Nathan's Saturday, no spoilers but wait till Episode 434: Wait, What?
I first hoped to hear about the scary village with over six people living there
Maybe next episode...... and aren't there only 5 now?
It's a brutal episode where Gunnar Gunnarsonson loses his *spoiler*
Statement of Gunnar Gunnarson, regarding the murder of his son Gunnar Gunnarsonson...
Man, this really remains one of your best. I keep coming back to it. 😀
I had no idea this was what standard “spooky podcasts” were like.
I found “Old Gods of Appalachia” a few years back and decided that it was all the horror podcast I needed; it runs like an old radio play but with much better soundtrack.
Another Old Gods listener!! Hullo, family! Thats about the only one for me, too; wasn't yesterday's episode so good?!
Greetings Family! First time I've found some out in the wild!
1:16 when you didnt pay attention to the names in the Magnus Archives cause you thought they were one off stories but then they start reappearing
I'd unironically listen to this multiple times
Twelve minutes later,
you have.
But what really happened on Wednesday, that's what I want to know.
“Episode 223, the story begins” well now I’m curious what happened during the 222 episodes before the story.
The subtitle "The story begins" does not refer to the story being read for the podcast, rather a story being relayed by the character inside the podcast.
Episode 223, "The story begins" 😂😂😂
Even though I have never listened to a spooky podcast in my life, I somehow recognize that they all sound exactly like this. What kind of brain magic is this ginger wizard casting?
This is extra funny to me because I started listening to the Magnus Archives yesterday lmao
I'm 100% doing the Magnus Archives voice at the end.
@@ABeckettKing the feeling of “can I have a crumb of context for this portentous name” is pure, distilled TMA listenership 😂
It doesn’t help that even if you do recognise the name, it still doesn’t always help. “His name was... MIKE” which fucking one, Jon, everyone’s called Mike.
I finished TMA a couple of weeks ago. Really enjoyed that one!
@@RainWelsh I was like 90 episodes in before I realized that Gerard Keay and Jared Hopworth were two different people. And now Gerry is one of my favourite characters and I feel so guilty for thinking he was the boneturner 😭
@@magaz oh yeah, it’s a fantastic show! Jonny Sims just struggles with naming characters is all.
I may be laughing now, but these podcasts are the only thing that motivates me to do the dishes every night
Why are you so brilliant? The setting, the production, the humour - I love every single thing you do!
As someone who has just finished the the Black tapes and the first season of Tanis, I can confirm this to be perfect.
Accidentally clicked the notification, and my name is Jessica; anyways I was scared at first; until I saw the channel name... All this to say, I have no regrets watching this dude at 4:30 am.
When you have slept, whatch the rest of the channel. He is ace.

Funny enough, there is a saying in germany (i think it stems from a Friedrich Schiller story) which translates to "I will show you, where the bricklayer left the hole in the wall."
Your American NPR accent is crazy accurate.
When you're so good at satire that you win an Oscar for the category you're making fun of. 🙌

Perfect! 3 hours and 14 minutes of podcast to be served 73 commercials and the definition for Poltergeist.
I will now be referring to door ways as "a rectangular opening in the wall sealed with a slice of hinged wood"

Of all the ABK videos this is still my absolute favourite... I really want a sequel. I want more of this. I love it. In the pacific north-west.
You never fail to make me laugh. I'm glad to see your channel growing, I've been a loyal subscriber since Every Nordic Crime Drama.
This feels like the horror version of “this gun in my right hand is loaded” and I love it
I just listened to it - it is like that!
My god you are so very spot on with these. Tone, vocabulary, register, all of it. Keep them coming.

@@mahna_mahna I can 100% understand that. Years ago I used to sell the full-scale VR systems to car companies, so Mercedes would have the new car on 4 actuators and there would be 3D projection around 270º so they could test various driver aids and controls and stuff.
They had to start introducing limits very quickly - people could only de X number of hours total cos a couple of people crashed their REAL car thinking it would just end the simulation; they were tired and wanted to stop.
So, it's not just me then. WHEW!
Man I was about to give major props at the end for how funny and on point this was, but then the reveal at the end actually scared me 😄
I don't know why, but the "discarded Casper Mattresses" line made me laugh like a loon!!!
I had nonchalantly begun to drink some water when the ending hit and I legitimately spit it out laughing all over my poor dog.
Must-have in every spooky story: "he could sense something was... off..."
That last twist really caught me off guard
Brilliant! I couldn't laugh until the end because I didn't want to miss one drop of this comedy nectar. You made my 5:48am full of laughs!
As someone who is a regular watcher of "Only Murders in the Building," I loved this! The rectangular opening got me.
If my roommates ever get up the nerve to ask my about the chortling coming from behind my door at odd hours, I'm blaming it on you!❤
I haven't listened to Tanis or The Magnus Archives, but I get the impression that this is accurate. It's funny either way.
Yup. Down to the artwork for Tanis.
Having seen the magnus archives, the name thing hit home.
Tma has alot of reoccurring characters and sometimes it can be hard to remember where you’ve heard a name before, especially when they’ve only been mentioned once before and didn’t seem particularly important the first time.
Tbf though, they usually try to do something to remind you when it’s not just a background reference.
It also doesn’t help that there’s two reoccurring characters named Michael, one named Gerard(pronounced jared), and one named jared.
I will admit to enjoying Tanis and the Black Tapes but this is *painfully* accurate for them. And Rabbits. And everything else Pacific Northwest Stories/Public Radio Alliance has done.
@@joeb8935 there are three people in TMA who can be called Mike. And it’s so deeply troubling. /lh
Missy Cat Okay, we like to riff on TMA for the three michaels, but to be honest they do a good job of making it clear which Michael it is. At one point they explicitly clarify for Jon’s (and the audience’s) sake that it’s Mike Crew not Michael. But yeah, there is definitely times where you don’t realize they’re talking about a reoccurring character (Gerry I’m so sorry-)
