Ladies and gentlemen: now that's how you do an ad.
Amen.
Well said!
Seriously
Meh
That was one of the most solid brand integrations I’ve ever seen on UA-cam
wassup tsong!
I love your channel Wil, subscribed.
Kind Regards

Holy shit this guy never misses. Not even on ads
musicbed is the shit.
@@TheOzzization 👎
wow. I have been watching youtube for 9 years. Never have I been more glued to a channel. Musicbed if you see this, let Van do whatever he wants.
I feel exactly the same way.
“Why is a proper overland trip through Mexico so important? Well, we don’t really know yet, do we.”
That’s the meaning of life right there!
"Intuition speaks in cardinal directions."
That line got me for some reason, what a human
To quote Mr. Lynch, here's wishing you blue skies and golden sunshine all along the way.
@@LGRY Lighten up, my man. 👀
I guess he’s not a lynch fan... haha
Glad to see you here, Austin! A huge fan of the things you make!
Everyone, have a great day 👋
Austin is now a regular in these comment sections, and I think that's just so good.
"What stands in the way, becomes the way."
This guys do-it-yourself approach to life is so infectious... Making me want to custom build everything I own.
While I understand that sentiment it's wildly impractical and if carried out would mean your time has little value
@@Harry-uq9qd value to who? maybe you need to re-evaluate your definition of value...
The new way for sure. " make it yours/ a human was here" i love the perspectives that van has great Tea-Cha.
@@Harry-uq9qd I feel the same. I feel as if this guy has all the hours in the day to sit around and tinker with shit. I’d love to do the same, and hope to set myself up one day to do so.
So true. I feel it'll give me immense pleasure but procrastination blocks my way every time.
I majored in advertising. This is the type of stuff that makes you so mad because of how good it is. This is some damn good branded content, bravo 👏
A lot of stuff on social media right now is just so noisy. I appreciate these videos for being the opposite. Informative, creative, calm but thought provoking. Thank you Van for bringing your storytelling to UA-cam
Can we just talk about that puzzle piece and the perfect landing! 👏1:29
Yep
Thanks, I was pretty pleased with myself on that toss 😜
@@isabel-rj4kd Good work! Although I honestly thought Van had made himself a device that lobbed puzzle pieces onto the desk as well as producing the smoke in the doorway.
"Breakthroughs come from without" is the mantra every single artist and creator needs to internalize when they feel blocked.
This is possibly the most analogue UA-cam channel. Love it.
I was born in 1st May 2000 .I turned 21 last month. But on that very same day i was born, you're already at your youth riding a cycle in NY. And here i am at youth in my room watching your videos and loving it.
So strange you had a video the very same day i was born.
"Solder the wires and the breakthrough will come." - Van Neistat
OK. That was pretty good. Nice way to weave it all together at the end my friend. - Eric.
That's the point where I realised it was just a long ad.
This is the best commercial i have ever seem
You can really see where Casey got his inspiration, from film making to bike riding inside the tunnel. They are the true pioneers.
* I felt I meditated for 7 mins of watching this 😌
Didn't realize it was only 7 minutes til I saw your post
Every time I watch one of Van's videos.....I have to sit back and process the deeper insight it gives me......EVERY time. I'm a 44 year old father and husband.....and nothing gets me thinking like these videos. Thank you again Van.....
Sincerely from all middle aged Spirited men out there...........
I'm impressed with how you are able to get your crazy out so eloquently. This spirited woman hopes to shake your hand one day.
Good on you.
Dam, I love your style Van.
Keeping an eye.... Amplify your message 😂😂
Ok, but the lighting for him sitting at the desk with the typewriter and the smoke backlit from behind is 👌🏼 Inspiration for potential future projects.
wow.."Breakthroughs come from without." this is my new mantra.. thank you van
Wow, when an Ad is entertainment you just don’t mind!!! Van, you are UA-cam’s breakthrough for the 2020s.
A "spirited ad" from the spirited man, I'm on my way to music bed😁
Hi Van,
If I ever see Casey, I will hug him and thank him for sharing that first video and whatever part he played in bringing you to YT. I have unsubscribed from almost all of my YT channels as they were full of BS, and not truly enriching my life. In the short time that I have spend watching your videos, I realize something that I have been struggling my entire life. How does one truly find success? Your videos are like a conversation with a good friend that I haven't met yet. They are honest, open, and make me want to be better in my pursuit of excellence. Thanks Van, I hope you keep making videos for a long time, and sharing them on YT or other channels. I hope our paths cross one day, and I can tell you in person the unique place your videos have in my life.
Take care and stay safe.

cant wait to see your movies made in & about your trip through Mexico
I absolutely love this channel, and, for some reason, this video just feels like it captures the essence of it in a really unique way.
Only kickstarter I've ever contributed to. Keep at it, man. This is amazing.
I’ve never been “upset” to miss out on donating to a Kickstarter - I’ve been a huge Van fan since hbo show but didn’t get memo on his fundraiser til it was too late - at this point I just wanna send the guy money 💰
@@travisjones4106 Buy some merch! You can get a hoodie on the website.
@@cosmiccowck I’m in LA and getting a sweatshirt at beginning of summer would be odd, but ya know - anything for Van, consider it done 😎
What I find in being creative and seeing others like Van Neistat, you go along for the adventure of how to create yet another video. The dialog that sends you on this journey, and in this case the abrupt ending, which really was not harsh, it is creative. Way to go Van. Sorry Way to go Spirited Man.
I can’t even begin to explain how inspiring these videos have been, thanks for doing what you do Van.
You are THE story teller! I'll bet you could tell the story of drying paint and I would watch it, enthralled to the end. I've never heard that breakthrough analogy before, but it is very apt. I experience it all the time.
For the last few years I’ve been getting what I call the Friday afternoon blues. No idea why because, well: TGIF? But anyway, was feeling them come on bigtime this afternoon (holiday weekends are the worst for them), and watching this seemed to wipe it away. ❤️
Guatemala* greetings from Guatemala... on with the spirit, man
I just watched a 7min ad and didn’t even know it, well done.
Haven’t missed a post since you started the channel keep it up!
If all ADs were like this I would actually watch them ...over and over
Typewriting on post-its. That's something I didn't know I needed
glad to see musicbed got behind ya. Sponsorships are a great thing from what I've seen. Appreciate the encouragement to break through walls :)
It's incredibly difficult to put into words how much i enjoy your work Van, keep on truckin' my friend
That was an extraordinary upload. The BEST from Van so far!!!! It must have taken a ton of time to edit all that. But so worth it. My mind is blown. Thank you Van for your dedication!
These videos are genuinely so pure and so meaningful. As a filmmaker this guy is so inspiring to watch!
Something about your videos man... They keep me watching, as i comment on a video from 6 months ago. I just keep going down the list. Keep it up. Its refreshing to see someone being themselves.
Watching this channels videos are refreshing. Find myself smiling with the creativity.
Well it's 12 am again and I can stop watching Van's vids. The narratives of these videos are so good.
You inspire me to keep fixing and keep making progress
This is exactly the video I needed to see/hear to inspire us to follow our dream of traveling the US. We will never know if it was the right or wrong choice until we’ve experienced it. There is no telling what beautiful opportunities will come from this experience. Being open to all possibilities is like having a master key to every door in existence. To deny yourself of the unforeseen opportunities because of the hypothetical is similar to being in a room with no windows. How can you know what is outside if you allow yourself to be trapped by the ego. The door has always been unlocked. Time to turn the knob.
Currently my favorite youtube channel. Always deep + entertaining.
If only commercials were this creative and all felt unique
I think this was your best video yet! Keep it up! Break those walls, Spirited Man!
When I get notification about new Van's video I never watch it from my phone. I wait for moment to watch it on large screen. Because it is ART) Thanks, Van! Moments of .
Van, you do it. There might be trolls out there, but if you can use this channel to facilitate the dreams and desires you have bubbling up, fuck yeah. Git sum!
...and we'll happily watch the films produced... and maybe get inspired to try some sort of Spirited adventure of our own... and if I could do it on the dime of a sponsor, you know I god-damned would too.
The only musicbed integration I don't hate, thanks spirited man!
I recently found this gem of a channel... Amazing! Your communication skills are unparalleled.
coming back to this yet again. thank you van and thank you musicbed for helping van
Commercial for Musicbed..can’t wait to see what’s to come..bravo
I feel like we shouldn't be watching this for free... Amazing
_you making scotty kilmer proud with that land cruiser._
one of the few channels with legit thought out comments.
I've been waiting for a breakthrough my entire adult life...
This is the greatest ad of all time
I love your not-digital graphics and animations.
So good man. Btw me and my whole band love your channel :))))
This spirited man is ever inspiring.
Wow. Just wow. Had to watch this one a couple times. Masterful.
Same. 💚
These are my smile of the day every time you put them out!!!!! Thank you!
1:19 I love that quote from Twin Peaks by David Lynch.
This is the best channel on youtube. This video was a fricken AD and it was the most amazing video I have seen today!
Dear Musicbed... this man just sold you F!@#$ product, like cocaine to an addict... What a master... this should be nominated to an award
Amazing how you get us in, lead us through and bring us out of these conundrums Van. I have to stay to the end to make it work and never been let down so far. Thanks. True story telling. With purpose. Leading people to the music they need to finish their video projects. Public service with a personal prize. Nicely done.
I can't express how much I enjoy these videos, so much so my journal is full of notes. Don't be afraid to be happy guys and gals.
This is the best ad plug ive ever seen
These videos make me feel a sense of purpose, faith, and identity. I see my dad in you, I see myself in you. I see a future that isn't so bleak here on the internet
Happy you got a sponsorship!!!
This spirited man says this is the greatest advertisement he has ever seen.
Anyone else notice Casey hasn't uploaded since Van launched his channel? Poor guy knows he can't compete with Van. It's like the big brother came in and moved the little bro out of the way to show him how its done.
I'm a big fan of Casey's videos, but man, Van creates ART.
Thank you for your service! Bravo on the breakdown of the truth in the creative process. Love everything you are doing.
Man, you have an amazing gift of communication
Your videos are one of the best things to happen to my life. no cap
I spent 10 years delivering pork into the five boroughs with a 53 foot refrigerated trailer I listen to 1010 wins for bridge times
As a person who loves your videos and over landing, I am excited for your adventure and seeing it documented. I love your story telling style.
Probably the best (&sneaky) ad I’ve ever seen. ❤️
The Quaint style of your movies, they doesn’t let me skip the sponsored ads you make.
This is me, with no PowerPoint experience, staring at random files that wind up becoming a good presentation slide deck. Not art necessarily, but the product of allowing the puzzle pieces to arrive into the slide deck.
Washing dishes/laundry or mowing the lawn are my “soldering the wires.”
God-level storytelling, good sir! Can never get enough! Van Neistat, Ladies and gentlemen! :)
Hands down the best channel on youtube...
Hey Van, I find it curious that you avoided UA-cam for so long. You are obviously quite talented and this platform seems like it was made for someone like you. I feel like there is a good story behind why you waited so long, or why you didn’t want to be a part of this platform. Perhaps you could make a film about your relationship with UA-cam... why you avoided it for so long, why you love it or hate it
I love how you make everything so suspenseful. I always make sure to watch your videos at night and in the dark for maximal effect.
I dig it.
Only the best spirited man can feed you a 7 minute and 22 second ad, but you have no idea you're being fed that ad . And you find yourself clicking that link he leaves you after watching because you have been inspired by what you just watched. Probably only a spirited person will understand what I just wrote. #spirited
Love the Mexico idea; just be super-duper careful with your beautiful baby and always practice hyper-vigilance. Thank you for the video!
Glad you're getting that money man! Your videos are super entertaining, and I really look forward to each one! Thank you for the free content‼️
First ever seamless integration of seemingly random idea into strategic sponsored content, almost as if it were deliberate ;) that’s clever. And entertaining
Thus, the intellect of the audience has been respected and Musicbed is accepted as the hero instead of begrudges interruption.
That’s genius. That’s Spirited!
This content is fabulous , this man is something else. Watching this video it’s like drinking beer but it’s taste like Red wine
Ingenious,resourceful and drips with meaning-all your content
most elite youtube channel
ive been dreaming up my own trip from VA to Montana in my own 60. Love your stuff
the spirited man does it again. brilliant.
Awesome. Can’t wait to see the video about the engine swap.
Absolute best advert ever within a vid! also incredible content Van love your art and your style. With love from Canada
“Breakthrough comes from without.” Says every great artist I know. I love that. I’ve never heard an artist I love say. “Breakthrough comes from within.”
Tom Waits says it’s like a deer you have to hunt down. Willy Nelson says it’s floating in the sky and you have to pluck it from the air.
Our creativity comes from somewhere outside of us. Not from within us.
Much respect.
