I don't understand how anyone can hate Dennis, he is lovely. Sure, he can be a little annoying, but it's like the younger brother annoying, not the actual kind. At the end of the day he's still lovely
1st time I saw him was with the pink helmet, so I can understand why... But then again, it quickly became clear that he's taking the "comedic relief" part and does it better than Linus, so I just wish they keep up the great work xD
it depends how its written or said. It its spoken, it can be ether way. If there is a comma between fake and lies, though not a common phrase it is correct in saying he is lying. And he does. A lot. Shills everywhere lol

Yo, Linus, been watchin ya since the "dial-up-days" ... Really watched ya grow from a one-dude in a basement operation to where you are now... and i gotta say... the road hasnt been a smooth one, but you've always brought a wealth of knowledge and a generally fun presence to every video - i appreciate that! ALOT! - i understand there's been some struggles lately... but just dont quit! The Geekdom Needs ya brother! :)
@@Mark-eg2ydthat's boring though, Besides, if someone makes fun of you for your last name, that's not someone you should spend time around so I would leave it personally
Which makes me wonder, does he really get called a virgin that often to have come up with that response or did he just think of that in the spur of the moment.
There were a ton of golden moments in this video, but James saying "because I can write" was the absolute top for comebacks. I haven' t even finished the video yet, but I am confident that it cannot possibly get better than that. P.S.- watching Linus develop as a person over the years gives me lump in throat. He was just a wee boy. Now I genuinely look up to him, and to everyone else there at LTT.
Y'all are great! It takes thick skin to go through all the comments, but some just sound like desperate cries for attention. I only found the channel a few months ago, and I think it's great.

@@ionstorm66 Imagine this scenario. You work at a media company. Your boss comes to you one afternoon and says "Hey I know you have a nice pool, we'd like to install a high tech heating system in it because we think it would make a good video". In this scenario it makes sense that you aren't paying for the heating system, this was all your bosses idea and they are getting content out of it. It also makes sense that your boss isn't paying income taxes on it, they only bought it for legitimate business reasons because they wanted to make some content. And obviously nobody is going to rip the thing out when the shoot is done, that would just be stupid and a waste of money. Oh, and you are your own boss.
Linus if you do read through all the comments... I would like to see some vids on cases using smoke machines to give us a visual on airflow. I would like to SEE how all the standard case setups really effect cooling. Theres part of me that wonders if SOME messy cables would help create turbulence that would stir air in corners. Cable management vs no management comparisons would be really good.
Is "Colin doesn't understand English" a bit or something? I assume he's Dutch based on his last name, in which case there's no way he doesn't know English.
@@Efreeti I don't think I got my point across correctly in my original comment. It was more of a. I would love to see which video so that I can actually have them so I can point other people to them when they say Colin doesn't speak. But now that there's that Tech upgrade that's a lot easier
If these do get read and I reflect over years of comments, if I was flippant or full of hyperbole at any point, apologies. I can't imagine the stomach it must take to read all the comments, or maybe that gives you a protective skin over time. Thanks for all the great content
Our family runs the 8K Yule log video during Christmas break for several years now on our projector. We always check if video is after the fall of the log or before. Still it's a great video since it is truly 8h continuous clip.
He just had to say "nothing that stays in my home was passed as a business expense" (aka: tvs, pool heating, rack, home theaters, inlaws lawnmower, routers, pcs, etc etc.) and every comment would be invalid, but he didnt say that, when 90% of the comments he showed where talking about things in his home that show up in videos as main themes 2/3 times and he might be putring them as business expenses, we dont know because he didnt say he didnt. And if your small business was "making shoes" you couldnt pass the "biggets home tv ever created" that you keept in you house as a business expense, but a tech content creator that made 2/3 videos of it...never said he didnt state it as such, just saying. And he might not get rich, but richer that a dude that wants that tv and cant pass it as an expense? Sure thing.
Elijah is just so unambiguously wholesome and genuine. Always open to learning and trying new things, happy to help, owns his mistakes, and not afraid to put his ego aside for a genuine laugh.
He's what I think of a Canadian: Friendly, polite, funny, kind, enthusiastic, helpful, inventive, wholesome, a visible love for food, and sometimes slightly stupid.
The thing with Plouffe is actually a bit relatable. Its hard to put a finger on what it is exactly, but even when he has well informed opinions about something he has this weird effect of coming across as that kid in elementary school who would claim something with absolute vigor and conviction and you just knew it wasnt true. Which honestly is a bit sad because even when hes absolutely right about something I just find it hard to trust his opinion on it. Dude seems like a nice guy though!

Honestly, Colin, Tanner and Elijah are a great addition to the team! What I'd like to see is some sort of "origin story" on some of the employees we often see (or hear of) onscreen. As a french speaking Canadian from the other end of the country, I see a lot of french last names. David Gauthier, Luke Lafrenière, Matt Lavergne, Jake Bellavance, Plouffe, Antoine Laforge and Luke Lafreniere to name a few. I'd love to hear more on their story? Did they move out west to work for LMG? Do they actually speak french? Do they have recent "roots" in Québec?
Linus you are awesome, you have helped bringing so much computer info out to the masses and I have learned a lot from your videos... Thanks for all your hard work
Most people have to pay, out of their own bank account for house upgrades. Linus, uses the business account, because he can make a video about it. So maybe that's what people mean when they say tax write-off. They just don't understand it properly
These are the people who think that being just over the line of a higher tax bracket means that you'll make less money than being right under the line.
Who'd this kid and why did you replaced Linus with him?!

Your boss comes to you one afternoon and says "Hey I know you have a nice pool, we'd like to install a high tech heating system in it because we think it would make a good video". In this scenario it makes sense that you aren't paying for the heating system, this was all your bosses idea and they are getting content out of it. It also makes sense that your boss isn't paying income taxes on it, they only bought it for legitimate business reasons because they wanted to make some content. And obviously nobody is going to rip the thing out when the shoot is done, that would just be stupid and a waste of money. Oh, and you are your own boss.
"Jake's mouth has eyebrows" 😂. Very creative, love the new name for moustaches 🤣
Plouffe is not boring. Simply 99 persons from 100 does not care about keyboards at all.
he is borring...you just gave the definition of him being borring. he can't sell keyboards well.
I don't think he is boring but I have a hard time recognizing that that's his actual name, it sounds like a type of ice-cream or something?
@@Samqdf His first name is Nicholas if I’m not wrong, everyone calls him by his surname
@@kek353Right, it now makes a whole lot more sense, thanks
@@arthurpendragon8192 he also has only casual knowledge of them. Nothing major enthusiast.
That demonstration of how taxes work was excellent! And just enough angry energy
Linus discovered a new content category he could push out!
Angry Tax Advice!
Honestly, it would be a good idea, honestly.
Linus Tax Tips
@NdxtremePro it would be cool but hard to make for their audience because taxes aren't done the same way everywhere
Not really, it's a half-truth.
Is explanation is wrong, he should have ask his accountants to explain it in a better way
Kudos to Elijah for absorbing so many big hits in style.
That's what his helmet is for! 😉
18:16 dawg that cat is the HOLE BAKERY.
Linus if you do read through all the comments... I would like to see some vids on cases using smoke machines to give us a visual on airflow. I would like to SEE how all the standard case setups really effect cooling. Theres part of me that wonders if SOME messy cables would help create turbulence that would stir air in corners. Cable management vs no management comparisons would be really good.
He's mentioned this specific idea on WAN show before.
great idea dude
This would be a really cool labs video
Mr. Matt Lee does this at the end of every build. Unfortunately he doesn't do extensive testing but he does do an airflow visual.
I think you have to include keyword "douche" there to have a chance of being read :D
Alternative title: Scary Beardless Version of Linus Reads Really Mean Comments
Beardless Linus looks younger. Linus with a beard was not too bad. However, I like his current look. Deal with it. 😊
@@bobjoe8131Myself, I'm a fan of Man Linus. Boy Linus makes me think I'm watching videos that are older than they are
puts Colin in the video
Colin: 😊
*refuse to elaborate
Is "Colin doesn't understand English" a bit or something? I assume he's Dutch based on his last name, in which case there's no way he doesn't know English.
@@lemonofish869it's a bit, there's videos of him speaking english.
@@sadmanh0can you please provide a link, I would love to see it
@@the_undead He just had an Extreme Tech Upgrade video where he speaks quite a bit
@@Efreeti I don't think I got my point across correctly in my original comment. It was more of a. I would love to see which video so that I can actually have them so I can point other people to them when they say Colin doesn't speak. But now that there's that Tech upgrade that's a lot easier
If these do get read and I reflect over years of comments, if I was flippant or full of hyperbole at any point, apologies. I can't imagine the stomach it must take to read all the comments, or maybe that gives you a protective skin over time. Thanks for all the great content
The video ending with a rant about how business expenses work for some reason felt perfect.
Probably because it's something linus would get very mad about.
Our family runs the 8K Yule log video during Christmas break for several years now on our projector. We always check if video is after the fall of the log or before. Still it's a great video since it is truly 8h continuous clip.
The Jake Nolan comparison got me cracked up so hard hahahaha. Love LTT and Donut!
The most extensive difference I can find is that their glasses sit on their faces in opposite directions
I love how in the two minutes Linus immediately shows his Canadian off “you’re really not pulling any punches ey?”
That nolan from donut media comparison was wild 😭
my 2 fave channels in one video, never thought on seeing them like this 😂
They need to make a Donut Media Mean tweets and compare Nolan and jake on there lol
As a former small business owner, the tax write off stuff totally triggers me too.
agreed. It's almost as if people choose to blurt out the first thing that comes to mind.
Yeah, like when billionaires donate to charity and people say "it's just so they can write it off on their taxes". Yeah, 10/10 profit.
Former? Should have upped your write off game! /s
He just had to say "nothing that stays in my home was passed as a business expense" (aka: tvs, pool heating, rack, home theaters, inlaws lawnmower, routers, pcs, etc etc.) and every comment would be invalid, but he didnt say that, when 90% of the comments he showed where talking about things in his home that show up in videos as main themes 2/3 times and he might be putring them as business expenses, we dont know because he didnt say he didnt. And if your small business was "making shoes" you couldnt pass the "biggets home tv ever created" that you keept in you house as a business expense, but a tech content creator that made 2/3 videos of it...never said he didnt state it as such, just saying.
And he might not get rich, but richer that a dude that wants that tv and cant pass it as an expense? Sure thing.
I actually love seeing Elijah in the videos. He always adds some humour and fun and generally makes the videos better
I agree, but still it took 2 videos for me to figure out he was actually an LTT employee
Elijah is just so unambiguously wholesome and genuine. Always open to learning and trying new things, happy to help, owns his mistakes, and not afraid to put his ego aside for a genuine laugh.
He's what I think of a Canadian: Friendly, polite, funny, kind, enthusiastic, helpful, inventive, wholesome, a visible love for food, and sometimes slightly stupid.
The thing with Plouffe is actually a bit relatable. Its hard to put a finger on what it is exactly, but even when he has well informed opinions about something he has this weird effect of coming across as that kid in elementary school who would claim something with absolute vigor and conviction and you just knew it wasnt true. Which honestly is a bit sad because even when hes absolutely right about something I just find it hard to trust his opinion on it. Dude seems like a nice guy though!
8:13 The fact that Colin laughed at this joke, proved him to be dutch.
**Gekoloniseerd**
The easiest way to recognize a Dutch person is by all their messages coming down to this: "Look at me! I'm Dutch. Acknowledge me, people on the north American continent!" 😮
I like how they found a way to subtly bring up he's just not very good at English because I was wondering for a bit about why he doesn't speak.
@@EximiusDux"wooden shoes, wooden head, wooden(t) pay"
Colin is perfectly fine at English, its just a skit/joke to not speak in videos@@Deja117
12:07 The Jake and Nolan Comparison is hilarious. Glad someone else also watches both channels
Now that they mentioned it, I can't unsee them both being the same dude.
@@n_core It was also funny because I never would have thought there'd be that much crossover between the two channels. So for somone to know those two channels and be able to spot that made it that much funnier
There's dozens of us!
The only funny bit of this video.
The James and Riley thing just shows that there are a lot of people who have face blindness and don't even know it
You know the differences between your culture then another.
wow is that a thing? I really struggle recognizing faces, will have to read further into it
@@katoshi6464 Good luck, I have a friend with it. He lives a nice, normal life thanks to him knowing that he is face blind and taking measures to mitigate its effect on his life.
I love everyone on the channel, everyone has a cool chill vibe
2:00
"my parents didn't have a choice"
*sweet home Alabama starts playing*
😂😂😂. That got me
I can definitely see Sarah being the Butt of some jokes.
Those damn arranged marriages.
The “Colin is Belgian” got me floored😂😂😂😂😂😂
To be fair, basically everyone speaks good English here, on top of at least one of the country's actual languages... Soooooo
@@JenoSnetrem Honestly... I mean there are some really bad english speaking ones. But at least our accent isn't as thick like that of dutchies :))
@@JenoSnetrem He could be a Walloon with some random Flemish paternal ancestor and emigrated to Quebec only to later get a job at LMG in BC. I've seen quite a few random instances of people on LTT speaking Quebecois French.
Someone go make a "Colin is secretly from Wallonia" conspiracy video.
@@JenoSnetrem Why are there no deep Scottish accents in your workplace , I see discrimination.
@@DJTimeLockI can see how some folk can definitely have some odd English accents in Dutch, but I don't think the Belgians have it any better than us 😂
I love this segment and how gracefully everyone takes it. You are all a class act.
Everyone except Linus
24:28 mate i could have NEVER known that this guy is the one from the dell optiplex 380 build, had i not seen that clip there. I thought riley left ltt after making those 3 vids, man he has changed alot
Linus genuinely tilting at the tax writoff thing had me in stitches. Super informative too!
9:35 okay he actually looks like Badger from breaking bad I can't unsee it anymore😭
Honestly, Colin, Tanner and Elijah are a great addition to the team!
What I'd like to see is some sort of "origin story" on some of the employees we often see (or hear of) onscreen.
As a french speaking Canadian from the other end of the country, I see a lot of french last names. David Gauthier, Luke Lafrenière, Matt Lavergne, Jake Bellavance, Plouffe, Antoine Laforge and Luke Lafreniere to name a few.
I'd love to hear more on their story? Did they move out west to work for LMG? Do they actually speak french? Do they have recent "roots" in Québec?
Luke can't French and he knows it really annoys Linus.
@@Metal_Maxine I have a feeling this some sort of inside joke or is about a particular video... And I'd love to see what you are referring to!
You are aware that there are people who live outside of Quebec who have French as a first language right?
@@guihamelYT That's come up quite a bit on a few wan shows ;)
@@IzaacB89 I usually watch the Wan clips... I guess that's why I missed it.
Linus you are awesome, you have helped bringing so much computer info out to the masses and I have learned a lot from your videos... Thanks for all your hard work
honestly Dan is best and no wonder he was not in the video reading mean comments because there are non.
Everyone loves Dan because he's nice, funny, and wicked smaht.
14:45 the “Lots” made me burst out crying my neighbors are concerned now 💀 😂
7:27 Riley yelling in his Tim Apple voice is just 🤌
nahhh 😂😂😂
wysi
Pouffe you're great! I love all the videos you make and you always come across as really knowledgeable ❤
i actually love all of these people, some of these comments are just insane
Riley doing ad reads is perfect, makes me feel less bad about skipping.
🤣🤣🤣
Funniest thing ever butttt I still enjoy him
I appreciate the tax rant - the number of people who never think that sentence through is coul crushing
tax write-off = free money, right?
i love making tax write off jokes on anything i do but the amount of people who dont understand how a tax write off actually works is so funny to me
As if the concept of tax shield didn’t actually exist.
Most people have to pay, out of their own bank account for house upgrades. Linus, uses the business account, because he can make a video about it. So maybe that's what people mean when they say tax write-off. They just don't understand it properly
These are the people who think that being just over the line of a higher tax bracket means that you'll make less money than being right under the line.
25:15 That comparison to Sam Bankman is frickin GENIOUS! More SBF in LTT please!
