I love the increasing complexity of the newer videos while they still maintain the charm of older videos. Like the shots of Elliot’s phone are AMAZING and they’re such a great touch
The funniest part is how “Zed” is just Brian again, so you’re supposed to hate him, but I hate nice guy even more, so I love watching him suffer through this
It might be that he's only 18 or so, but Eliot is nowhere NEAR as toxic as Brian or Zed. He's not a good guy, but by comparison to these lecherous groomers he's a harmless dweeb who seems to be at high risk of developing into an incel type. Zoe can easily do better than all three, but Eliot is merely slappable and not overtly dangerous.
And that's if he was actually 18 in 2009. If he was older in 2009... Really, Zed is just a Brian clone. Also I could just feel like how uncomfortable the girls were. The discomfort is almost tangible.
The guy who was raised by his grandparents should date Zoe. I could actually see this happen eventually because Zoe apparently goes for older man and that guy BEHAVES mature (in the most positive way) but the age gap isn't even close to this creepy.
These shorts have legit become my favorite running storyline. Incredible how each character is so distinct in their cadence and done so consistently well I can tell exactly who it's supposed to be despite everyone being literally played by the same person. Magic.
Zed, Brian, Elliot, and Average Redditor need to be locked in a room with a DMV employee for an hour. And don’t tell Guy Raised by His Grandparents what’s about to go down, he doesn’t need that burden.
At this point I just want Zoe to make better decisions and I just want Elliot to be a better person. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that’s going to take a very long time for both of them.
I can't wait to see how it plays out when Brian eventually meets Zed. You know Zoe can't resist seeking the last word, so somehow or other it is going to happen.
Man, when you said “I’m a photographer”, that hit home. I remember dating a guy older than me who was a photographer and he acted just like this. My best friend hated him. He would be kinda nice but something about his attempts were just disingenuous. He would never ever commit to me but anyways wanted to “hang out”. After a 2 year situationship I finally told him to get the boot.
god the 30 year old with 18 year old gf ones already made me uncomfortable for sharing a name with zoe, hearing elliot say "zoe bear" makes me want to rip my skin off
This is some amazing progression! Quality, complexity, and depth all go up while you still keep the core intact? Now that's rare. You're really building something incredible here and I hope you realize 🔥✨️
The part where the nice guy swipes through his weather app and calculator is shockingly accurate. I witnessed someone just scrolling through their apps on their Home Screen and I just felt bad for them trying hard to look busy. Gotta love attention to detail there.
Its giving me so much extreme cringe back in the day I would feel so left out if I wasn't at a party now me at 32 I'm Royally pissed like Why The Fk am I hanging out with these folks that I don't like these Un wavy creatures are sucking up my Energy and probably don't like me it's insane what we do for Validation 😂
The random unimpressive details about him that are supposed to be impressive is stupidly accurate 💀 "I can get you into the brewery, I'm a photographer"
Zoe IS me 10 years ago when I was 18, and goddamn the videos with her have both called me out and made me SO happy I got outta that part of my life lol. You really make the best hateable characters, and you put the nuance behind them too which makes them so engaging!!!
I WATCHED EVERY SINGLE BRIAN VIDEO THE SUBTLY OF HIS ACTIONS AND AS A MAN OF FEW WORDS ADDED TO HIS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT BRAVO AND ADIEU TO THE AMAZING CHARACTER 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Omg, your impression of the girls, or zoe in general, is amazing! And accurate as hell, I forget everytime I am watching your skits, that you are the one who is voicing them But jesus christ, zoe needs to get a grip regarding her choice of men, my god
Oh no, Zoe’s showing that the best thing to do after a break up is to date yourself and really reflect on the relationship and what you want in a partner before jumping into a new one. She’s clearly not over Brian yet, she sees he’s bad for her but from the conversation keeps bringing him up and how much this new guy is “better than him” but she ended up with someone who is more or less the same. Meanwhile the change on Nice Guy’s face the moment she said she had a new boyfriend was so remarkably good. I felt the immediate tension. Also worlds are colliding so often now and the fact that there’s so much lore and I understand it has me baffled lol
there's nothing wrong with being a photographer. The issue is that he's not a photographer, he just wants to take pictures of them for his own devices. He just says he's a photographer to justify it to others/himself
Just because hes 2 years older hes worse? You young little wimps are weird as hell. At least hes working and not sniffing all the time.and he looks better. Id say upgrade
That subtle note in the beginning where she mentions having plenty more drinks for everyone, insinuating Zeds just keeping her stocked up. Brilliant. Awful. I hate what you do so good.
At 1:19, Zoe mentions that she's NOT single, and Eliot's smile sinks like a stone. This party is NOT going how he envisioned. 2023 minus 2009 is 14, so that's how long Zed seems to have been 18+. Since 18+14 is 32, it seems Zed is actally slightly OLDER than Brian, so there are some obvious lessons Zoe has not learned. Like Brian's friend the Denny's manager, he is keen to leverage his pinhole of a job in order to buy favor with teenage women. However, he works in the alcohol industry so he's basically offering to facilitate underage drinking so he can hit on Zoe's friends. On top of that, Zed is an amateur photographer offering to take pictures of much younger women, so not quite a pedophile but most likely a huge creep. It's really a tough call whether Brian or Zed is actually worse. Brian seems more expensive and less financially independent, while Zed seems marginally more successful but also fairly practiced at creating inappropriate situations with women Zoe's age. Eliot sucks, but he seems less toxic than either of these older men. Not a great guy, as he's parroting female solidarity in a pretty transparent effort to market himself as a more wholesome alternative to Brian. Really, Zoe should be looking for somebody more like his cousin who was raised by their grandparents, but she seems to have a taste for highly aggressive older men. Eliot seems capable of a redemption arc, but probably stands no chance with Zoe in this lifetime. The sooner the poor guy figures out that much, the less he'll suffer for it.
Man, Zoe makes the worst decisions about men and Eliot refuses to listen to his cousin that just wants the best for him. Oh and I hope the new predator in Zoes life gets what's coming to him.

Right! Like it was closed before he came in, why would they now want it open? 😂
Love how Zed is basically Brian, but with major Portland vibes
