I hope that in 3022 , you will be making more YTPs for the human race, for they will be needing as much of your art as possible :)
I watched a one hour video about queues in disneyland by defunctland and it was the best documentary i ever watched. The fucking CLASS WARFARE section. Incredible.
2:35 "It was reportedly showing in one hundred and five million countries. and it had garnered an audience of 36 people or about seventy viewers today when adjusted for inflation." LMAO
And of course for making Ert and Bernie, Statdorf and Walter, Abe Lincoln and Jesus, and basically all the other Muppets actually gay… totally incredible, especially for the time!
my favorite line, at 2:33 : "it was reportedly showing in 105 million countries, and had garnered an audience of 36 people, or about 70 viewers today when adjusted for inflation."
@@olliefischer Touching. And poignant, considering the present financial stitchuation. We have to admire Jenson for being able to both be born so young and yet prescient enough to foresee how we've gotten to where we are now, where we really Stress a Memes-teat.
For this YTP you'll need: · Sewing tools · Glue · Sowing materials · Gloo · Cereals · Glü · Old felt coat that it once felt that it belong to your moom · 1 ping ball · Glue (again, replace with gloo or glü if kneaded) · 1 pong ball
"He had secured a weak puppet show. So why not make a puppet?" I love the implications that, up to this point, Jenson refused to actually do any puppet work.
A good YTP, but I will say, having the video only be 5 minutes isn’t really in the Defunctland spirit lol. I recommend slowing the video down to .25 to get the full experience.
Kevin from Defunctland is probably going to love this video, lol. I love his sense of humor that he sprinkles in his videos, my favorite being the dripping sarcasm about Disney's crackdown in the 80's on "homosexual fast dancing" in the Videopolis video (yes, their ire was very specific, lol). The part here with the exasperated line of, "Look, I can't think of another way to say this, but a LOT of the Muppets were gay," just fits his humor perfectly 🤣 Hard to find a favorite line but this one took me out: "It was literally showing in 105 million countries and it garnered an audience of 36 people, or about 70 viewers today when adjusted for inflation." 😂😂😂
"My friends, it has often been said that I like war. My friends, I like war. No, friends...I LOVE war!" - Jenson, in his famous "I Love War" speech from Sesame Street Ultimate OVA
I love that she was able to sneak in a bit from the latest video, especially considering it's the part where Kevin says that a lot of people were gay on the Garfield ride.
It will never not be funny to remove the thousand/million in sentences like 'it attracted an audience of 36 viewers'. Also the line 'A powerful rat... named Meisner' did critical damage. Amazing work!
I loved "The Sequel to Violence" when I was a kid! Its incredible seeing the history of Jensen, Janeson, and Joanson so lovingly documented, I was worried they would fade into obscurity after Jensen got swallowed alive or blown up
A show for enbies? Kermit is trans? Statdorf and Waltler and Ert and Bernie are gay? Who would have thought? These Muppets gay! Good for them.... good for them. The sentence mixing here is simple and yet incredibly effective- for in its seeming simplicity lies the true nature of its beauty. Well-edited and phenomenal work all around. This is genuinely one of the funniest videos I've seen in a long time, and I ended laughing so hard I cried... only to begin crying for real once Jenson was swallowed alive. Both heartbreakingly funny and downright heartbreaking, this documentary has a little something for everyone, especially long-time fans of Jenson. Thank you for making this.
Every documentary skims over several details but this was exactly right. Everyone forgets Jenson was inspired by his body pillow. Thanks for reminding us
"Had garnered an audience of thirty-six people, or about 70 today when adjusted for inflation" the idea of all numbers needing to be adjusted for inflation not just numbers is sending me
my personal favorite lines: "Sesame Street? More like Stress-a-me street" "Gan Scooney, known for never being afraid, found the proposition terrifying"
Im relly glad jenson created a show that taught children about separation, the french, and problems. Children need to learn about these things, even though they can be scary. I hope the show helped even one child overcome francophobia
This was really moving. Jenson’s work really impacted my life so to see a true documentary on it is incredible.
YES
I love seeing my faves interact
Are you the 2nd human?
Hey, it's kevek purjurdacdurjurdur.
Love it when UA-camrs acknowledge YTPs of themselves.
"36 people, or about 70 viewers when adjusted for inflation" is such a funny goddamn line, its genius
Financially, we can see how we really Stress a Memes-Teat.
Network TV would be happy with those kinds of ratings today.
It was literally 1984…
Without Jenson we wouldn't have memorable characters like Fermit the Krog, Piss Miggy, or Bozzie Fear.
You just made me realize that bear and fear do not rhyme despite differing only by their first letter. 😡

"Captain Violence" ABSOLUTELY sounds like the name of a show directed by children.
The rejection of violence resulted in something far superior. Jenson would title it "the sequel to violence."
I’m imagining Axe Cop, basically.
One of those cartoons that religious groups and "moms against immoral TV" groups protest against?
Our drawings and animations as kids were pretty much "Captain Violence", so I think it´s accurate :D
Sounds like Axe Cop.
"Sesame Street? More like Stress-A-Me Street."

"It was literally 1984"
It's amazing when someone so young can be born at such a young age. Or at the very least, allowed to be born.
“take some heart at being born at quite so young
You can learn to talk, and learn to walk in your own time”
Not to mention, so freaky-voiced as to be called "Edd Sullivan."
I've always been a supporter of raising the age of birth to 5. It just doesn't make sense anymore to have kids born so young. Look at Jenson. When he was born he knew nothing.

To this day, I still remember hearing about the tragedy of Jenson getting swallowed alive.
Or exploded, whichever it was.
We really have no way of knowing.

Can't you, figuratively, be swallowed by an explosion?
Being a ninja, it was hard to see him at the time of his death. We may never know the truth.
He was actually killed by Nelson Mandela, which is why it's called the Mandela effect, because people falsely remember that he was exploded/ swallowed alive.

"It was clear, that Jenson was no puppet."
He was a dude

They never seem to adjust people for inflation, smh
"Jenson had decided that this was enough."
"Or about 70 viewers when adjusted for inflation" nearly killed me when it popped up. 🤣
I have no idea how to adjust viewers for inflation
So glad Jenson was willing to let Frank Oz enter the world.
Jenson was so progressive. An episode for enbies, also supporting Kermit’s transition.
There was finally someone brave enough to tell the world that there are more genders than just Man Or Muppet
Of he was, why do you think he hired Howie Felt.
For those who don't know Kermit transitioned from being a lizard to a frog.
And of course for making Ert and Bernie, Statdorf and Walter, Abe Lincoln and Jesus, and basically all the other Muppets actually gay… totally incredible, especially for the time!
Ngl Kermit does have that transmasc swag tho
Every line in this video is brilliant. I genuinely can’t pick a favorite.

Good shit as always.
Oh shit, I missed that lol
“If violence is so great, why isn’t there a Violence 2?”
Jensen: “And I took that personally.”

Jenson was often heard saying: *"GIVE WAR A CHANCE!"*
Just like the good old days after Kermit caused 9/11!
He was *FUCKING INVINCIBLEEEEE!!!*
He was very in touch with his inner child

Man, Captain Violence was my favourite show growing up. A shame it had to be cancelled, The Sequel to Violence never lived up to its legacy imo.
The sequel to the sequel to violence was pretty good too
@@javiers5599 The Sequel to the Sequel to the Sequel to Violence was what really killed the Captain Violence franchise
A good YTP, but I will say, having the video only be 5 minutes isn’t really in the Defunctland spirit lol. I recommend slowing the video down to .25 to get the full experience.
"I love war" is so funny,
every single line is perfection here, easily one of the best YTPs I've seen in years.
Couldn’t agree more. She really hit it out of the park with this one
I never expected a DaThings edited version of Kermit's pent up aggression was something I would enjoy as much as I did
that part killed me 🤣
The increasing muffling of the audio combined with the incoherence of the actual lines just builds into something really funny.
I also love the use of the Stargate A in the Space Trek logo.
"The most notable part of the special would be that it officially completed Kermit's transition."
Congratulations to Kermit
"painfully a parent" killed me
Ah, yes. Separation, The French _(tm)_ and Problems. I'm glad Jenson really tried to make a show that tackled the real problems of the youth.
"Sesame Street? More like Stress-a-me Street."
I'm gonna fucking pass out.
All these toasters toasting toast are stress-a-me out
Or “Terrible Town”.
I'd like to play 'Jenson's Impact'.
I've been trying for Grover, but all I ever pull is Oscar dupes.
I drew Puppet Jenson first try
Like Jenson, my relationship with my waifu is falling apart.
Don't. It'll turn you into a Discord moderatorotator. RoR. SuS.
You could, if kids didn't lose touch with it at the ripe old age of twelve.
Which reminds me; Why do our politicians hog all the _good_ Gacha?
55 year old ninja boys deserve the representation they have lacked for so long
So tragic that Jenson never got a sippy before he died.

"My friends, it has often been said that I like war. My friends, I like war. No, friends...I LOVE war!" - Jenson, in his famous "I Love War" speech from Sesame Street Ultimate OVA
"But he had never gotten a sippy" this is the best part.
2:03 Kevin telling Robin to stop talking always kills me for some reason 😅
"Or about seventy viewers today when adjusted for inflation" absolutely killed me and it really shouldn't have.
Somewhere in Heaven, Jim is laughing his butt off over this!
"Sometimes my mom plays tricks on creeps" is such a good line, I'm still thinking about that
The sentence mixing was so clean I felt like I had a stroke watching a regular documentary
I love that she was able to sneak in a bit from the latest video, especially considering it's the part where Kevin says that a lot of people were gay on the Garfield ride.
Considering how into anime Jenson was, he must have been ecstatic when Muppet Babies was animated by Toei.

3:10 with every defunctland episode, meisner just has to show up eventually.
The constant build of joke after joke after joke became like a wave that was impossible not to laugh with.
List of things Jenson simply replied:
“Sesame Street? More like: Stress-A-Me Street.”
“I love B.O.”
“I love war.”
I keep telling my wife, “Hello there. My name is Jenson, and I’m a puppet.”
She’s pretty pissed.

Jenson always had a simple response
Easily the best YTP, a truly moving documentary, I feel closer to Jenson since having viewed this piece.
holy shit adjusting viewer count for inflation i just can't handle this 🤣
Thank you for making this documentary about Jenson and his impact. I couldn’t stop crying and I learned so much!
Damn what a story. Absolutely beautiful.

Wow, poor Kermit was really letting off steam towards Cookie Monster!! I can't even repeat those words!
So glad to hear that Kermit completed his transition! 🏳️⚧️
What a moving documentary. I teared up at “Salmon!”
Sentence-mixing "NBC" into "enbies" is such a genius idea
The sequel to violence, also known as incoherent verbal abuse from Kermit the Frog
“And so,jenson gave birth to frank oz in the year 1925” I can literally imagine this sentence.
Its been 7 months. I can no longer imagine this sentence. The thought has left me. Thank you,jenson.
The idea of adjusting people for inflation is very funny, very depressing, and, when you phrase it the way I just did, incredibly gross.
This YTP is amazingly random, yet somehow coherent at the same time! Brilliant job!
2:08”Ert and Bernie”
I have spoonerized their names like that before! 😂
Maybe you should check out “Bernie und Ert”.
The Everything Everwhere All at Once reference was greatly appreciated. Such an amazing and underrated film.

And this is how he will always be remembered
I love the " it was *Literally* 1984" joke.
I like the concept of adjusting TV ratings for inflation
1:11 I have mad respect for Jenson.
It's such a simple joke but for some reason my favorite line is about the number of viewers being adjusted for inflation.
The image of Jim Henson being obsessed with anime is the funniest thing I’ve heard today!
3:56 an all time classic moment in sentence editing, beyond hilarious
The Sequel to Violence was a classic, I can sure tell you.
