Raise your hand if you were brought here by "Rent-A-Pal"...
Yep

🙋🏻♂️
Totally 💯 I was lonely and this movie just hit home literally my life
It’s crazy that some of the dialogue is pretty much word for word!
Hi friends! This is "Sam" a.k.a. Ben Hollis. Thanks to Davey at Found and Nick and Joe at Found Footage Festival for bringing new life to Rent-A-Friend -- thirty years after I created it. Amazing. Whether you find "Sam" funny or creepy, insightful or ridiculous, thank you for dropping by. You give me a kick, let me tell you!
I wish "Sam" had more videos,he is awesome. I really thought it was a great creation that you did.
Ben Hollis' W.I.L.D. Life Video Channel You, Sir, are a genius. Thank you for your contribution.
Joshua Schuder Just look at his channel - it's clearly him.
you were my friend today Sam when i was feeling down. thank you!
What you did here was really cool. We live in an era of increasing loneliness, and it takes guts to do something as excentric as this. Mad props!
Anyone else got brought here because of the new film RENT-A-PAL? Wow!! Inspiration indeed!
True
This shit is too funny when your high lol
RENT-A-PAL brought me here... Can't believe what I'm watching here !
The similarities are unnerving
@@kennethbrynleyjohnsweet4252 - RENT-A-PAL was specifically based on this video.
@@ERey362 I'm glad I found out! I've been wondering if it was based on anything actually from the 80's.
So THIS is what a serial killer/stalker's victim(s) last moments must be like, all the while gagged and tied to a chair in a basement.
😂😂😂 yea no kidding
Lol!
What’s the difference between this and the ASMR “caring friend” roleplay videos on UA-cam now? We’ve come full circle.
Exactly my thoughts
I saw a short clip of this and went is search of the full video because it gave me tingles. This worked as a perfect unintentional ASMR video.
I think that's why Rent-A-Pal is giving me an exestential crisis. What if there are people like that out there?
Well f-k me 😦 I never thought about it like that 🤯
Kinda disappointed we didn't end up in bed, I thought things were going great!
"with a plyable face, you can get away with murder." If that's not a stone cold confession, I don't know what is.
I know. Just look at his face when he says it. Omg. I'm not giving him my address. Nooooo way.
Lol!
When he "takes a look around my place" I feel especially violated
Same
And when he pointed , he was actually pointing to something on my wall even creepier
He's so sincere. I feel like he actually likes me.
Y’know, this might actually bring joy to a lot of people even 30 years later. Yes, the movie did a great job of why some people need to get out more, but it actually is nice for some people to have someone to talk to.
I can never think of anything to say during his silences ;_;
I lost it when the phone rang and he picked it up and put it down to show how invested he is in what you're saying. Holy shit.
Cannot watch any more of this!
Wonder if the call was from his former "friend".
hahahaha LOL!!! :P
LOL that must be where rent-a-pal got this from
Wouldn't wanna fuck up your girlfriends relationship for rent a friend😅
I don't know who's lonelier: Sam or the people who bought this.
Rent a pal.. movie of the decade
2011-2020 or 2020-2029?
Nah
Yes I am here because or Rent-A-Pal. I have to say something about this does draw you in. This actors did a fine job actually. What an odd idea, but I see why it landed in the 1980's. It should re-emerge. It would be a hit during covid time.
If this guy was whispering, this would be a pioneer ASMR video.
This is UN. FUCKING. BELIEVABLE. I love this man who bashes down the phone. Twice.
Last week, I told my mom to play this at her sister's funeral because no one is gonna have good things to say. This video will keep people busy for a while. She didn't think it's a good idea.
Okayyyy, you got a whole gigantic story there bud. 😂 Just dropped it, lit the fuse and walked away
half expect the camera to pan round at the end to someone tied to a chair gagged
So this is where Rent-a-Pal (2020) comes from?
Yes
Yep
Just watched Rent A Pal. They pulled material from this strange video.
They sure did
They copied it word for word
im thinking rent a pal was literally inspired by this directly
Wow. Your some kinda genius huh? Lmao
I saw VHS revolution and it talked about this and I had to look and see if it was on UA-cam. So great! Now I need to see rent-a-pal. What a world!!! 🤣😛😜
10:25 Had to witness this myself after listening to the Found podcast. The sound has been burned into my memory forever!! 😱
The mating call of the devil 😢😂
“Sound fuxking weird Andy” 🌝
"And also nose grease.. Nose grease is very important to me"
What in the actual fuck
Wtf is ur username. Mocking a hero who exposed mass church abvses. P4thetic
This got very weird real quick.
10:35 is where I go insane
Remember the part in Dora the Explorer where you can answer before she says "me too!"? This is exactly like that. It's the closest we can get to "interactive TV" lol
I'm trying very hard to see the difference between this and Facebook, but I can't.
this guy has helped me a lot during covid
Are you serious with Facebook
I feel like that guy's sweater is made from human hair and that he kills people on the side.
Did you see worlds dumbest?
45Vinylscratch Aye that I did Vinyl. That's what brought me here.
45Vinylscratch Im watching it right now
Baron Bacon Beware.
He probably has a well in his basement n he's looking for his next victim w/ this video.
this got me through some rough times in my life, luckily my friend was always there, I was quite embarrassed though when he look around my house and I was on the toilet.
peter8488 kmsl ctfu!
This person would drive me insane if he was my friend.
I feel as if this guy is going to come and kidnap me if I watch this entire video. I'm laughing but at the same time, I feel sullied.
When he said that he knew my name, what I looked like, and where I lived, he sounded like a creepy stalker.
I'm watching this 7 years later and I'm feeling the same thing. Ma dude, you still alive???
I just listened to Ben Hollis on 97.3 The Fan here in San Diego. Nice guy! Sounds like he's the neighbor you'd invite over for a beer. Or a milkshake. The hosts asked him how many of these VHS tapes he thinks he sold and said, "I don't know. 20? Maybe 100." 😂 Silly guy! The 80s master of performance art, for sure!
The part where he demonstrates the pliability of his nose after what I assume is extensive cocaine damage is horrifying.
Lmaoooo
Yep.
I thought the EXACT same 😂😢
I kinda feel like he’s getting ready to kill me when he’s ending the video
I completely lost it at "would you like to bite my nose?" 7:16
7:14 the creepy smile
Redlettermedia really needs to include this on thier best of the worst series
I didn't know Rent-a-pal has an adaptation 😮
4:21 " i got your face and your name, and now im seeing where you live"
RUN FOR UR LIFE!!!
19:00 "That's why we have friends!" You just know someone watching this stopped having a good time
this is the most primal example of a pyschopath I've ever witnessed
why?
@@pladimir_vutin idk he just really seems like he's hiding something sinister. This is a fake film btw, and that was a big part of its intention as far as I know, to make him seem kinda off.
It's feels so real, in a very weird way
i cant believe that this was an actually real thing
8 out of 10 Cats brought me here years ago and I thought I'd revisit just to hear Nyaw Nyaw Nyaw Nyaw Nyaw Nyaw!
Just what you need in lockdown 😂😂
Little did he know I was taking a dookie watching this when he was "checking out my place"
The first time he did this in one take but realized the camera had no film inside afterwards.
goodbye sam I will always treasure what we shared here today
Paranoia hit when he heard them helicopters
This is why I am a shut-in!!!
This is the best video I've ever seen.
Now days we call this "RolePlay ASMR"
Had flashbacks after watching "Rent-A-Pal" (Hulu)
Sam is much less creepy than Andy! Just get a silly, harmless vibe from him. On the one hand I worry about the original being consulted and/or compensated especially considering how disturbing the movie got. At the very least I hope it brings him traffic!
Who is here because of Rent-A-Pal?
Liked very much. Very cozy!
instructions unclear: murdered mother and got stabbed by my love
Wait, this is real? Holy crap.
I thought that was Ben from Wild Chicago. I didnt know he made this. 👍
I can't believe you sat here long enough to find this.
And seven years later.
I'm surprised I'm this far into the video...I'm also very high right now
You just know someone making snide comments about this video here actually enjoyed watching this. Question is, how many? Lol
Get your very own copy of the Original Rent-A-Friend on DVD! Send it to a friend in need. Like Justin Bieber. store.foundfootagefest.com/products/rent-a-friend
Everybody: i'm here by rent-a-pal
Me: wtf i'm here by my english class
PD:Ññ
@7:14 he had me at "would you like to bite my nose?" ...
this video is 2000 times funnier played at half speed.
I laughed for almost 20 minutes...you won the internet today!!!
Most things are, Harry. Thanks for watching.
loooool mate,you deserve a damn beer
LMFAO!! This is hillarious!!!!! I LOVE IT! I couldn't stop laughing at the part when he was makign weird faces and calling himself a blockhead! hahahahaha
So happy to hear it, Melissa! That's what I hoped when I made this video!
Ben Hollis' W.I.L.D. Life Video Channel Are you the guy in the video? If so, those noises you were making when you were playing that blockhead game, were hysterical!!! I kept rewinding it to that part, over and over! hahahahaha And the faces you were making when you were pushing the sides of your face together and saying 'HEY BUS DRIVER" Hahahahahahaah That was awesome! And the story about when your sisters boyfriend would come over the house and you'd make weird noises and they thought you had mental problems. hahahahahah I used to actually do stuff like that to my parents friends when I was a kid! hahahahah. I guess that's probably why I find this video so amusing, cuz you seemed to have captured my sense of humor in it. Hahaha. You need to make more of them like this!!!
Thanks, Melissa! Keep that crazy humor alive! BEN
Ben Hollis' W.I.L.D. Life Video Channel Oh I willl, trust me! hahahaha. Nothing has changed in my 38 years of being on this planet and it never will. Please keep yours too!!
Anyone else here watch this on a regular basis?
Yes
Why?
I watch it all day every day
Thanks man. He is so funny.
This guy is the zodiac killer
Of course this dork likes jazz.
Also his first paragraph sounds entirely like a proposition in a truck stop parking lot
Who’s here because they watched rent a pal?
He don't have ceiling fans in his part of the country.
😂😂😂
Has anyone ever been able to watch the whole vid?
I'm surprised I'm 9 minutes into it...
I play it at parties.
I saw rent-a-pal a few weeks ago or so with my mom, and im scrolling thru youtube tonight and spot this.. i think i need therapy..😂😂😂😂
He looks like someone Patrick Bateman would hang out with.
And Norman Bates
He scares me..... I can't finish watching...
I'm so scared yet I wanna see if I can watch the whole thing but I'm too scared lol I feel like he's gonna kidnap me
who is here after watching MKBSD's video?
MKBHD anyone?
Yay i got a friend!
19:07 I don't think that game is what he thought it was.
Looking for a lovely lady to play "trees" with. *_creepy smile_*
Give this guy a break! He's obviously still traumatised after this experience.
Great job Jon Stevenson.
I want to comment on this, but I have no words.
He's not such a bad guy, after watching the whole video. 😯🤔🤭
He’s casing my crib to steal my suffs!
That cat is long dead by now
This is incredible
This will be getting views soon
Is there a back story to this? I’m sure the movie Rent-a-Pal was inspired by this. But if really like to know the story.
The thing here is. .I've never found Mr. Rogers to be creepy in any way but this dude gives off the crazy creeper vibes all the way. Lol.
Makes me wanna push my sick momma down the stairs. :-) Nice digs, pal !
Wow I don't believe you!!! They say friends are full of surprises, but that really, really, took me by suprise!!!..
@Sabrina Mitchell You play like a natural.
If this is you Nancy? He already finds out your name right at the start
I'm watching this now so I can get ahead of Red Letter Media for the day this eventually winds up on Best of the Worst...
This makes me wonder if somebody went totally insane over it
8 out of 10 cats introduced this to me about 10 years ago.
Amazing
The end selfie , killed me
Hello Simon et merci pour cet ancien poste qui aujourd'hui a fait mon bonheur !
Découvert le petit film Rent-A-Pal et je ne m'en suis toujours pas relevé.
Pour ceux qui ont du temps à perdre, ma chronique du film Rent-A-Pal :
ua-cam.com/video/QFHbDVKOnaI/v-deo.html
Ayant appris que le réal Jon Stevenson s'était inspiré d'une véritable vidéo sur le même thème j'étais intrigué... Encore merci pour ce petit bijou de "malaisance" haha !
