Olans Biggest Wins: 1. Marrying the woman of his dreams 2. Shooting a douchecanoe 35 times in the buttholl 3. Final Space Glad you have your priorities straight, bro. Love your stuff, keep up the amazing work. Super Excited for season 2!
He's one of the most unique, inspiring, honest, kind hearted and lots of other things. He's a bright star in this world that on chaos in my opinion. He has done so much and created so many things that I'm so proud to support him since 2012.
Literally Olan's story of developing Final Space: Make me a promise son. You save the earth. What if I can't do it? Try your best. What if my best isn't good enough? It's good enough for me.
I cried. I'm so happy. I've loved Olan for nearly a decade and I've never felt happier for or more proud of someone who doesn't know I exist. You go O.
This. This is why Final Space is just SO good. Not only was the show itself just a visual freaking masterpiece along with the most spectacular plot, soundtrack, and amazing actors, but it means so much more knowing that it's Olan who made it. The most inspirational and lovable guy I have ever heard of. It's stuff like this that inspires me to keep going with my own dreams!
Halfpipe, it's The Wiz here. Always thinking of you and praying for rest and peace of mind whenever you can manage some. Promise I'll fight to get back there. Looking forward to disappointing you in another match of Age soon...
Jake Sidwell you’ve provided me with so much joy and laughter through Rollin with Olan. Watching the 2 of you interact together is not only enjoyable but in a way kind of inspiring. I strive to have that level of openness and closeness with my friends, and watching you makes me smile. I drove 12 hours by myself around break and spent a chunk of that using the Rollin with Olans as a podcast, and it was amazing. I’m praying for you man, both for your health and whatever you have going on in life right now. Olan is easily my favorite UA-camr and the person I would most like to just hang out with in the world, so I knew he must have some stellar friends to support him. You have a special and unique kind of infectious joy about you and I hope the people around you in Indiana are blessed by that. I hope you get a chance to read this and be encouraged, and stay classy my guy.
I haven't seen a single episode of Final Space. I haven't watched much of your content in the past few years. But you're still a huge inspiration to me Olan and I teared up watching this mini-doc. I wish you the very best. Thanks for inspiring me for the past few years.
I just watched the first season. Honestly, I placed all my expectations low, because I thought that it would be like any other UA-cam series, wherein it's completely basic and stuff that are completely recycled. This completely changed. God, I loved it. The dynamic of all the characters, the plot itself, the voices, EVERYTHING. The show is absolutely amazing, Olan. Thank you for giving me this new world to love wholeheartedly.
Olan you did an amazing job with Final Space!! I’ve watched it through 3 times and can’t wait for season two. Thanks for this inspirational look at your journey and well done for having the courage to follow your passion against the odds, using criticism as rocket fuel for your dreams:) Onwards.
Not gonna lie, I was right along with you, lol. Who let this guy on tv? What were they thinking?? But obviously I was completely stoked for your show, from you talking about it to the pilot to the product, I'm so proud. I'm really, proud of you. I don't know what you had to go through for this but it obviously took a toll on you. I just wanna say, as a consumer of your show, it was worth it. Good god it was worth it. Like, I'm really picky with humor, and this was one of the funniest pieces of crap I've seen on tv. There're so many quotable lines. And the voice acting was phenomenal. Olan you have a very strong talent that I can't wait to see in a second season, you and everyone else on the show. Thank you.
I found this series about a month ago, binge watched all 3 seasons within a week - one of my all time favourite shows ever! Olan, absolutely amazing job and I’m just hoping there’s still a chance for season 4!
Olan Rogers, Congratulations dude. You are an amazing inspiration to not only me and so many other people. Final Space is such amazing and brilliant show. I love your ideas, your videos, your heart, your ability to be yourself on camera. Thank you thank you thank you for helping me not only see myself as more deserving of my respect and that I can achieve my dreams. Congrats bro. Really. I don’t know what else to really say other than that THANKS FOR MAKING ME CRY!!!! Love you bro. -Sarah
how interesting. Now here's this guy who I see as very successful, with a fanbase that loves him, an international show, a really sweet video game soda parlor, and among other successes, a guy that tries really hard, and he says "I don't get life wins". This after explaining that you might have to be your own best ally. It's amazing to me really, that the most successful people are really the most successful failures. It's amazing to me that history writes about the ones who lose the battles and end up winning the wars, and even more so the ones that have stories to write about. Thanks little big O. Just keep plodding buddy. Keep on failing. For the love of god, don't stop failing.
The best thing about you Olan is your authenticity. You've always been a genuine person and I have always loved that about you. I am so proud of you for following through. Congratulations, man.
Do not be ashamed to show your true emotions. Those are apart of you. Those are what, in my opinion, make us love you so much. They show just how true you are. Love you Olan. Glad your keeping us updating
Olan, I can't even tell you how much this video means to me right now. The journey of being able to do the one thing you love in life is so hard. I struggle with depression constantly because of it. But it's things like these, kind, empathetic, inspiring stories that touch me and help me move forward. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I know im late to the party with this one (literally just discovered it now), but i love this video (and im only 3/4's the way through, still watching it). There's a real wholesome earnestness to this video. This kind of vulnerability is really endearing, and its this honesty that bleeds through into the show. That's why its so great. The real raw Olan is where its at. I feel that. Sending you all the good vibes & love man.
I absolutely loved the first season..ive been following you for years now. It feels like just yesterday you posted that final spacr MIGHT be a tv show. You give me hope I can go somewhere with my talents and college education I'm working on
In my humble opinion, it's a perfect show. I wouldn't change a thing. Says the person who has watched the show several times. Laugh, cry, it's pure gold. Thanks so much for creating it. Chookity Pok
Only watching this now, minutes after I finished watching ‘Final Space’ in Australia. This video itself couldn’t have come at a better time. A time when I’m sitting here, as an artist, ready to give up. Feeling lonely, lost and very little in space. Thank-you Olan so much for sharing the story behind the beautiful ‘Final Space’, and your story of getting there. Everything you said, I hear in my head daily, and I hope you know how many people you are helping. Thank-you so much Olan, gonna keep trying my best.
this is the video to watch if you ever lose sight of your dreams . you can accomplish anything . not just one dream , have so so many of them . you can do them all . i'm so grateful for the friend who told me to watch final space . it leads right back to Olan , this is one dude so full of happiness and good advice , he's like walking happiness man . more people need friends like Olan .
Olan you are perhaps the coolest being to suck life wind from the skies. I love how real you are with all of us and how much you put into your passion. I dont care what anyone says to you in comments, but you are for sure very funny. I remember back in the days you would do the videos with starscream and have conversations with him, id laugh at them so hard and i was always looking for friends to show your videos to. After watching one with a friend id be like “wait waaaiit i gotta show you this one its priceless” with a huge stupid grin on my face. I love your content and i think you are an awesome person Olan. You very much deserve this. You always somehow motivate me to be a better person. I watch any video for a second and my day is instantly better. Keep up the hard work man. We all love you and what you do. Im excited to see where this all goes!
Oh, man, Olan...what can I say. I love your tears, your emotions. You are always real. I think that's a HUGE part of your success (along with your mom being a ROCKSTAR!!) And, "Oh, by the way, we....Season 2! ) That's when my tears flowed. You are marvelous, Olan, keep being you 💓
What you did inspires me so much ! I'm going to animation school this year and what i want more than anything in life is to create my very own show ! I see myself through your happiness and I hope one day I'll get to feel what you felt ! You can truly be proud of what you accomplished because Final Space is a work of art, it is pure genius, and I can feel it, it is all your work, passion and heart that was put in it ! I wish you the best and who knows, maybe one day I'll graduate in time to help animate a season of the show ! Anyways, keep being who you are and keep providing us with your amazing goodness, see ya !
Easily my favorite person on Earth who I have never met. Such an inspiration to someone who has struggled with the same issues he has, and has as big of aspirations as he does. Gosh. Can't explain how many tears, smiles, laughs at work, and inspiration he has given me.
I’ve been following Olan for about 4 years now and I KNEW in my mind you would amount to something great! But never forget your roots Olan and keep making UA-cam videos! “It’s a Monday... I got nothing going on!” - Olan Rodger
You could see his passion through his craft. I mean, from the very first episode, I saw a show that was really a passion project, from the acting to the storyline. He deserves everything he got from this show. His story is a really motivational one. I would really like to see other artists and their passion projects. Well done!!!
You caught me at a bad time. Hold my tissues while I cry please. Olan I’m so incredibly proud of you. You have no idea! I’ve been here since day one. I’ve told my friends about you. I’ve told them about your show. You’ve made so much progress since the beginning. You’re such an inspiration. I love you so much. That quote at the end really got me. Your mom knows how to hit home. Anyways, I’m pumped for Season 2. Again, thank you SO much for all that you’ve done and everything you continue to do. You’re the best. Much love from me to you. ♥️
When he said, that my mom my heart just froze and I love!!! Also watching him cry is like watching a favourite character cry, I just wanna wrap him in blankets and hand him to his wife to hold!!
I've been watching you for quite a while and I love most of the things you post on YT and I love Final Space. The point of this comment is that I love your sincerity, you have this softness to you that makes me like you more, and you have this childlike joy. Good job and congratulations on your wins, I hope the best for you man and keep creating.
There’s nothing to say but thank you for being Olan and bringing us Olan. You are all of our friends and you never have to feel alone, we are everywhere, and we are here for you.
"What's University of Memphis gonna teach me?!" I know how you feel buddy, about to graduate from there at the end of the summer - I've got big dreams myself man, you're an inspiration!! Keep up the incredible work and keep staying as awesome as those dang chicken tenders.
There is so much of Olan and his life moments wrapped up in Final Space. This show is funny, emotional, rollercoaster of a story, genuine characters (even KVN), but mostly heart. I have been invested in this show from the beginning...even more so since watch this documentary. To be able to sink your soul into this with always laughter not from the loneliness - you have a winner! Season 3 will be absolutely amazing and hopefully that bridge to completion of your journey Olan. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. 👱😻👧🏾🐱🤖🚀
God damnit, I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! I say this almost every video that you make, but I am absolutely so excited for you and the things that you are doing, and the places you are going. No one deserves it more -- you're seriously amazing, and it makes me so happy to see you have this success in your life! Thank you so much for sharing this story and letting everyone know that, even great success stories like yours come with a lot of hard work, failure, and perseverance. But goddamn, you've earned it!
As someone who initially dismissed Final Space....i thought it was just another Rick and Morty esque show. Boy was i surprised, very VERY surprised. As a creator myself i do heavily respect anyone who just refused to give up on what they wanted to do. I still dont know what i want to do fully but so long as i get to create things that entertain and make people laugh i would be happy. Glad to see you managed to make it this far.
Thank you for final space. Your uplifting attitude helped me learn thats theres more to life then staying a slave to what you dont like. Fight for what is right and live life before its gone. Thank you.
Olan. Everyone who worked on making Final Space become what it is. Thank you all, so much! Words truly can't describe how I'm feeling but I will say that my friend and I have just finished watching your piece of art, and we were captivated throughout its entirety. We laughed, we cried (many times), we were hyped, we were stunned, we craved more after every episode... but most importantly: we were moved. We were taken on a journey through your story and that feeling is going to last in our hearts for a very long time. The characters and their interactions & developments, the music, the plot, the voice acting, and oh my word don't even get me started on the animations! Everything. Everything was so beautifully done and I legitimately cannot fault a single thing. Bravo. This video is full of emotion; I think it's a blessing that you have shared your journey when creating Final Space, along with all of the hardships that come with life. Sometimes you will have to deal with a lot of tough times, but when you pull through the results will be phenomenal if you are driven enough to make your dreams come true! I hope that someone from your crew reads this because I want you to know what effect this series has had on me, and how much I appreciate the amount of hard work that was put into making Final Space what it is! From the bottom of my heart, thank you
For someone who had a late start into college (and because of that, life), who's trying to really follow his dream and who's really feeling the pressure of what's, but's, it's, and maybe not's of pursuing the life that I really want, the stuff you've spilled into this video for the first audience you had was beyond inspiring for me. This is the ray of hope that I really needed for these days. And y'know, I wish I could say I've been here for the beginning, but truth is, I've only been following you since probably a few months before you announced that Final Space was being shown to people, and you put up the pilot on your channel. (I was introduced to your channel via Ghost in the Stalls - still my favorite, though Final Space is quickly taking its place). But the sheer rawness and genuineness you put into your videos is a testament to the little guy making it big, and doing it by doing something that he loves doing...man, it's what I hope I become in the future. I'm so proud of you for making it this far in your dream a I get this is a really long ramble, but I just wanted to say, even though we'll probably never have an interaction beyond creator and viewer, from the bottom of my heart - thank you. Thank you for sharing everything you've created and sharing these small glimpses of the road you had to travel to get here. Cheers to Season 2! (and Season 3, eh, EHHH? :D)
You are the most inspirational person I've ever seen man. The vulnerability and honesty you share with the world is unmatched. You've inspired me over the past 10 years to just commit to things that evoke passion. I'm a musician so the medium is a little different but the anxiety and self doubt works the same. It can destroy you without a support system. It takes a strong individual to do it without growing cold and mean. Props to you for making the world and more honest place.
I needed to see this video after being frustrated with my art for the past couple of weeks. Lots of truly uplifting advice here. You're truly an inspiration, Olan Rogers. I can't wait to see how improved the writing is for Season 2 and what you have in store for us fans.
Gosh darn it Olan every one of these type of videos makes me cry :,( Your passion is an inspiration to me, and your life story is so amazing and so relatable for me. In the deepest darkest times in my life, I watched one of your videos (Soda parlor) and I balled my eyes out. Just knowing that I wasnt the only one failing again and again over and over. You gave me hope. Not only for my passion and future, Olan you saved my life. I cannot thank you enough for everything you've done. Thank you so much for everything you said. Keep goin man. You have something so special and so unique that it will change everything! Love ya man.
You saying those things about yourself being your biggest ally is so encouraging to me. Changing me really. I've lived overseas for all my life, and moving back to the States is going to be hard for me. I know no one there, and I have no experience there. The loneliness is shared, and I know it well. But it's people like you that make me believe in myself and see the truth in myself every day. Thank you again Olan. God bless you.
I have loved final space ever since Gary space. It was so awesome having something I said in a commercial too!Olan you are amazing and no matter what content you make I Will watch it! So hyped for season 2.
Olan, I’m an 8-time award winning actor and a singer with 3 music albums almost completed, including music videos... All because watching your videos inspired me to pursue my dreams. YOU inspired me. YOU inspired my legacy.
I actually cried when I watched this. Olan, you are an incredible writer, creator, and person. Your passion shines through in all your work, and you make people so excited to watch your content. I am so happy for you. I've been watching you for years, and I hoped that you'd get picked up for TV in some way, and look!! YOU DID IT! You persevered and you made it, and I am so happy for you. You give all of us struggling artists inspiration and hope. You give all us "Gary's" in the world something to shoot for, and you make us feel so much better about ourselves. You've made so many of my bad days better, so thank you. And congratulations! I hope for many more seasons of Final Space in the Future!!!! God Bless!
You're an inspiration man. You truly are. My dream has always been to make an animated show, ever since I was a child and you have just given me even more fuel, to keep working towards that dream! Ps Your mom is a Wisdom Wizard! And God bless :)
You're a genius creative freak and a thank you a million times for making final space. The voices, the characters, the colours, the vibes, the jokes, the music, the emotions = perfect show
From telling stories in your bedroom to creating an amazing TV show. You inspired me to do what I love. Thank you so much for everything you've done. Your videos brought me so much joy. You creating your own TV show inspired me to do what I love "my dream job". I wouldn't have gotten where I am today without you. Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing your heart, Olan ❤ it's important to hear when you're in a dark place, that "the other side" does exist somewhere 🙂 keep living and never apologize for being emotional and vulnerable- doing that like you do gives other people permission and encouragement to do the same. Your courage is contagious!
I will never be able to explain how much of an inspiration you've been to me in my life, Olan, every time I watch Final Space I just think "somewhere out there, Olan is following his dreams" and for some weird reason that brings so much joy and hope to me. I'm a senior in high school in Oregon and I've always wanted to be in film production and animation but when I read the facts of how hard of a field it is I get so disheartened and I just want you to know that seeing you succeed makes me feel like maybe I could too and you have no idea how important and how needed that is in my life. Thank you so much for that and for just being the way you are.
I just had a big grin on my face watching this all the way through. Not only was it so fascinating watching the show get developed behind-the-scenes, but after following you for a long time, hearing about Final Space coming to fruition was like a dream come true for you and the fans alike. I always knew you would one day grow into a much bigger presence than on UA-cam, and now it’s happening. I honestly think you’re playing a major part in opening up the floodgates for more talented folks out there to reach the heights of their dreams, and God bless you for it, man. Also, I legit had to screenshot that awesome quote from your mom; it was too good to pass up. Let’s keep this show goin’!
Thank you, just thank you. This has become my favorite show. I love the characters and their arcs, I love the ending, I love the jokes, I literally love everything about this. Please continue to be an inspiration and please continue to love what you’re doing. Please share this with the rest of the makers of Final Space.
OlanRogers. I have never met you, but I Love You. Truly. The impact your videos have had in my life for the last 8 years has been astonishing. Again and again, you brought me laughter in my deepest, darkest times. So many times you helped me ok with crying, to release the things that hurt deep down and to strive for happiness. Since then I have changed my life and am seeking my best life, and feeling its foundations. Today on the best day I have ever lived, you added something more. Bringing me tears, once again. You're inspiring to me, and absolutely show me that the dreams we all have can be found, and then reached. Bless you man, And thank you for all you are, you deserve it
I know you're uber proud Olan, of your concept and those who work thier arses off in getting er done. Please be proud of us too fer being good watchers of Final Space. Cause I for one watched it great! I mean, I put every ounce of watching power I have into watching it! I watched the chit out of it mang! YES!!! But more importantly - *We* are Uber Proud Of YOU!
Olan, I need to tell you that I am standing on the brink of a journey similar to your own, and I'm scared. It is you that is giving me the inspiration and power to "go for it". I am daunted my all teh possibilities to come, trying to start with an indie movie with a $3000 budget with no training for this sort of thing with the goal to make people feel emotionally richer, bring them together, and inspire them. I followed your progress since you were just telling stories and making goofy skits. I watched every single one, even the original final space. When it came to fruition, I almost cried. I'm sure you've been told this before, but being able to see your footsteps allows me to try very hard to step in them, and take the plunge myself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Why you gotta make me cry! Every time! Been following you for years and I am so proud of you. Your videos inspire me so much. You are one of the reasons I went to film school. I didn’t get to finish my bachelors degree only got my diploma - which means nothing really. But I still have your videos. Thank you! Much love. Please keep being so down to earth and honest.
OLAN!! I AM SO insanely dang proud of you man. Over the years you’ve been nothing short of a role model and an absolute inspiration for me. You are a kind, caring, hilarious, hard working dude who deserves literally every bit of success you’re getting right now. It’s so freaking cool that I’ve gotten to see you grow from story time and youtube sketches like stab in the back to a full fledged masterpiece like Final Space. It’s insane that I see your name plastered all over billboards and posters, now. Thanks for winning one for the little guy, man.
I am so proud of you, my dude. We are all here because we knew there was something special within you. Your stories are always entertaining and I've loved every one of them, but your shorts have always been where your creativity really shines. You did your best with what you had, and you did fantastic. Now that you have the resources to do something amazing, I get the feeling we've only barely scratched the surface of your potential. I don't really like to say that people are talented, because there's so much more to what you do than just talent. It's skill. It's brutally hard work. It's late nights and busy, tireless, days. It's an ongoing process of constant learning, and making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes. You've worked so hard to get here, and we've only seen bits and pieces of it. But I'm sure you're having a blast, and I'm so excited to see the joy you have in watching your vision come to life. You absolutely deserve every second of that joy. You are NOT nobody, and I'm really glad you're starting to see it. :)
Olans Biggest Wins:
1. Marrying the woman of his dreams
2. Shooting a douchecanoe 35 times in the buttholl
3. Final Space
Glad you have your priorities straight, bro.
Love your stuff, keep up the amazing work. Super Excited for season 2!
That reference brought the deepest, most real and heartfelt tears to my eyes. Olan's come such a long way holy crap.
The Official Seraphim
It wasn't douchecanoe that he shot, it was toolbench. Douchecanoe was the loud neighbor who moved out.
#LIFE_GOALS
ToolBitch learnt his lesson
He's one of the most unique, inspiring, honest, kind hearted and lots of other things. He's a bright star in this world that on chaos in my opinion. He has done so much and created so many things that I'm so proud to support him since 2012.
Literally Olan's story of developing Final Space:
Make me a promise son. You save the earth.
What if I can't do it?
Try your best.
What if my best isn't good enough?
It's good enough for me.
That was the saddest moment in the show (season 1)
@@colinbell2983 no the saddest moment is avacatos death
"It's good enough for me." ......All of us right now it is canceled. Praying you get your shot again man!
Beautiful. Im so proud of you, Olan. From Balloon Shop to this.
OH MY GOD SEASON TWO YES
'OH MY CRAP!' Season 2 hell yes
OH MY GOD IM FALLING!! For season2 of course~
I cried. I'm so happy. I've loved Olan for nearly a decade and I've never felt happier for or more proud of someone who doesn't know I exist. You go O.
K A literally the last second of this video
My first video that I saw of Olan was Hey Ben back in like 2007. Been stuck ever since :)
This. This is why Final Space is just SO good. Not only was the show itself just a visual freaking masterpiece along with the most spectacular plot, soundtrack, and amazing actors, but it means so much more knowing that it's Olan who made it. The most inspirational and lovable guy I have ever heard of. It's stuff like this that inspires me to keep going with my own dreams!
I couldnt agree more. Haven't seen a lot of shows where I get a feeling of pride for it's creator whilst watching :)
Halfpipe, it's The Wiz here. Always thinking of you and praying for rest and peace of mind whenever you can manage some. Promise I'll fight to get back there. Looking forward to disappointing you in another match of Age soon...
love ya buddy - Halfpipe
Get better The Wiz!
Love love love you so much JS. my fam and I are praying for you!
Jake Sidwell you’ve provided me with so much joy and laughter through Rollin with Olan. Watching the 2 of you interact together is not only enjoyable but in a way kind of inspiring. I strive to have that level of openness and closeness with my friends, and watching you makes me smile. I drove 12 hours by myself around break and spent a chunk of that using the Rollin with Olans as a podcast, and it was amazing. I’m praying for you man, both for your health and whatever you have going on in life right now. Olan is easily my favorite UA-camr and the person I would most like to just hang out with in the world, so I knew he must have some stellar friends to support him. You have a special and unique kind of infectious joy about you and I hope the people around you in Indiana are blessed by that. I hope you get a chance to read this and be encouraged, and stay classy my guy.
You both are friendship goals. Love you guys ♡

When I read this I heard H.U.E's voice saying it
stOP MY FEELINGS
*IGHT AMA HEAD OUT*
I haven't seen a single episode of Final Space. I haven't watched much of your content in the past few years. But you're still a huge inspiration to me Olan and I teared up watching this mini-doc.
I wish you the very best. Thanks for inspiring me for the past few years.
Watch it! It's fantastic.
How?
I watch it through UA-cam, but you can watch it on the TBS App, Itunes, and a bunch of other platforms! It's worth it.
@@Tuviksa on netflix :)
BrettMikaluk I need to know did you watch it?
I named my cat mooncake after well... mooncake💖
Really?
That's my plan. Depending on the kitty. Avacato is a possibility.
Dude! Final Space is freaking amazing! Beyond proud of you man!
ya man we love you olan
I just watched the first season.
Honestly, I placed all my expectations low, because I thought that it would be like any other UA-cam series, wherein it's completely basic and stuff that are completely recycled.
This completely changed. God, I loved it. The dynamic of all the characters, the plot itself, the voices, EVERYTHING.
The show is absolutely amazing, Olan. Thank you for giving me this new world to love wholeheartedly.
International....that's like beyond the U.S.
Jeremy the Person very smart 😂
Obviously
indeed young sir
Jeremy the Person holy shit you're right. 😂
Yep, thats what international means
Olan you did an amazing job with Final Space!! I’ve watched it through 3 times and can’t wait for season two. Thanks for this inspirational look at your journey and well done for having the courage to follow your passion against the odds, using criticism as rocket fuel for your dreams:) Onwards.
Is Final Sssspace the greatest show ever? It issss!
They put a celcer in my drink! Why would they give me a celcer? Did I order it? Yes I did!
Your mom is my hero. Every story you've ever told us of her makes her sound like the most badass lady around. Bless your mom, Oley.
I freakin love you Olan, congratulations and thank you.
Yo, this is so motivacional for me buddy. You´re the guy, really!
Not gonna lie, I was right along with you, lol. Who let this guy on tv? What were they thinking?? But obviously I was completely stoked for your show, from you talking about it to the pilot to the product, I'm so proud. I'm really, proud of you. I don't know what you had to go through for this but it obviously took a toll on you. I just wanna say, as a consumer of your show, it was worth it. Good god it was worth it. Like, I'm really picky with humor, and this was one of the funniest pieces of crap I've seen on tv. There're so many quotable lines. And the voice acting was phenomenal. Olan you have a very strong talent that I can't wait to see in a second season, you and everyone else on the show. Thank you.
Lauren Pierce wow thank you so much
Perfect description on my thoughts
Really well said.
I found this series about a month ago, binge watched all 3 seasons within a week - one of my all time favourite shows ever! Olan, absolutely amazing job and I’m just hoping there’s still a chance for season 4!
I love how he talks about Rachel. 😭❤️ Cutest couple around, I swear.
Olan Rogers,
Congratulations dude. You are an amazing inspiration to not only me and so many other people. Final Space is such amazing and brilliant show. I love your ideas, your videos, your heart, your ability to be yourself on camera. Thank you thank you thank you for helping me not only see myself as more deserving of my respect and that I can achieve my dreams. Congrats bro. Really. I don’t know what else to really say other than that THANKS FOR MAKING ME CRY!!!! Love you bro.
-Sarah
Season 2 is a go!!!!
YEA BOIIII
Too bad the bakeshops offline..
how interesting. Now here's this guy who I see as very successful, with a fanbase that loves him, an international show, a really sweet video game soda parlor, and among other successes, a guy that tries really hard, and he says "I don't get life wins". This after explaining that you might have to be your own best ally.
It's amazing to me really, that the most successful people are really the most successful failures. It's amazing to me that history writes about the ones who lose the battles and end up winning the wars, and even more so the ones that have stories to write about.
Thanks little big O. Just keep plodding buddy. Keep on failing. For the love of god, don't stop failing.
Olan
Thank You for grasping and sharing how complex and beautiful the human spirit is all about.
Final Space is better than season 3 of Rick and Morty. Just Facts
I would say all 3 seasons.
Yeah man
Oh easy
@Mudmood They are both great IMO
Final space and Rick and morty will Come out both next time So We will see
The best thing about you Olan is your authenticity. You've always been a genuine person and I have always loved that about you. I am so proud of you for following through. Congratulations, man.
If ever I’m feeling overwhelmed with anything. Life, work, whatever. I find myself watching this video, it really lifts me up.
Do not be ashamed to show your true emotions. Those are apart of you. Those are what, in my opinion, make us love you so much. They show just how true you are. Love you Olan. Glad your keeping us updating
The only quote from Final Space worth quoting:
CHOOKITY POK!
Olan, I can't even tell you how much this video means to me right now. The journey of being able to do the one thing you love in life is so hard. I struggle with depression constantly because of it. But it's things like these, kind, empathetic, inspiring stories that touch me and help me move forward. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I know im late to the party with this one (literally just discovered it now), but i love this video (and im only 3/4's the way through, still watching it). There's a real wholesome earnestness to this video. This kind of vulnerability is really endearing, and its this honesty that bleeds through into the show. That's why its so great. The real raw Olan is where its at. I feel that. Sending you all the good vibes & love man.
I absolutely loved the first season..ive been following you for years now. It feels like just yesterday you posted that final spacr MIGHT be a tv show. You give me hope I can go somewhere with my talents and college education I'm working on
In my humble opinion, it's a perfect show. I wouldn't change a thing. Says the person who has watched the show several times. Laugh, cry, it's pure gold. Thanks so much for creating it. Chookity Pok
I can check my yearly motivation off my to do list. Thanks lil big O!

Only watching this now, minutes after I finished watching ‘Final Space’ in Australia. This video itself couldn’t have come at a better time. A time when I’m sitting here, as an artist, ready to give up. Feeling lonely, lost and very little in space. Thank-you Olan so much for sharing the story behind the beautiful ‘Final Space’, and your story of getting there. Everything you said, I hear in my head daily, and I hope you know how many people you are helping. Thank-you so much Olan, gonna keep trying my best.
You're my favorite, man. Literally my favorite person.
this is the video to watch if you ever lose sight of your dreams . you can accomplish anything . not just one dream , have so so many of them . you can do them all .
i'm so grateful for the friend who told me to watch final space . it leads right back to Olan , this is one dude so full of happiness and good advice , he's like walking happiness man . more people need friends like Olan .
Olan you are perhaps the coolest being to suck life wind from the skies. I love how real you are with all of us and how much you put into your passion. I dont care what anyone says to you in comments, but you are for sure very funny. I remember back in the days you would do the videos with starscream and have conversations with him, id laugh at them so hard and i was always looking for friends to show your videos to. After watching one with a friend id be like “wait waaaiit i gotta show you this one its priceless” with a huge stupid grin on my face. I love your content and i think you are an awesome person Olan. You very much deserve this. You always somehow motivate me to be a better person. I watch any video for a second and my day is instantly better. Keep up the hard work man. We all love you and what you do. Im excited to see where this all goes!
Well deserved, im here after watching season two...and damn, this ...im gonna get emotional...this is art.
Oh, man, Olan...what can I say. I love your tears, your emotions. You are always real. I think that's a HUGE part of your success (along with your mom being a ROCKSTAR!!)
And, "Oh, by the way, we....Season 2! ) That's when my tears flowed. You are marvelous, Olan, keep being you 💓
What you did inspires me so much ! I'm going to animation school this year and what i want more than anything in life is to create my very own show ! I see myself through your happiness and I hope one day I'll get to feel what you felt ! You can truly be proud of what you accomplished because Final Space is a work of art, it is pure genius, and I can feel it, it is all your work, passion and heart that was put in it ! I wish you the best and who knows, maybe one day I'll graduate in time to help animate a season of the show ! Anyways, keep being who you are and keep providing us with your amazing goodness, see ya !
I freaking love you, man. If anybody deserves success it is most definetly you.
“There is no right way to do art. If anyone tells you otherwise, Screw them.” -Paula Rogers
This made me cry. You are, and have ALWAYS been, the man.
Looking back 5 years i can see final space so much in ur life . Lov ur work bro. Cant help loving it
*insert emotional response that no words can describe* :'D
Same, Kyle Culver! Same here!
Easily my favorite person on Earth who I have never met. Such an inspiration to someone who has struggled with the same issues he has, and has as big of aspirations as he does. Gosh. Can't explain how many tears, smiles, laughs at work, and inspiration he has given me.
I’ve been following Olan for about 4 years now and I KNEW in my mind you would amount to something great! But never forget your roots Olan and keep making UA-cam videos!
“It’s a Monday... I got nothing going on!” - Olan Rodger
You could see his passion through his craft. I mean, from the very first episode, I saw a show that was really a passion project, from the acting to the storyline. He deserves everything he got from this show. His story is a really motivational one. I would really like to see other artists and their passion projects. Well done!!!
YES MASTER COMMANDER
I still come back to this whenever I'm sad, or feeling especially alone.
Been following you since Ghost in the Stalls. Love you man, its awesome to see you living your dreams! Keep it up bro!
You caught me at a bad time. Hold my tissues while I cry please.
Olan I’m so incredibly proud of you. You have no idea! I’ve been here since day one. I’ve told my friends about you. I’ve told them about your show.
You’ve made so much progress since the beginning. You’re such an inspiration. I love you so much.
That quote at the end really got me. Your mom knows how to hit home.
Anyways, I’m pumped for Season 2.
Again, thank you SO much for all that you’ve done and everything you continue to do. You’re the best. Much love from me to you. ♥️
JUST SAW THE NOTIFICATION FOR THE TWEET THAT FINAL SPACE HAS RENEWED FOR SEASON 2 OH HELL YEAH
When he said, that my mom my heart just froze and I love!!! Also watching him cry is like watching a favourite character cry, I just wanna wrap him in blankets and hand him to his wife to hold!!
I've been watching you for quite a while and I love most of the things you post on YT and I love Final Space. The point of this comment is that I love your sincerity, you have this softness to you that makes me like you more, and you have this childlike joy. Good job and congratulations on your wins, I hope the best for you man and keep creating.
There’s nothing to say but thank you for being Olan and bringing us Olan. You are all of our friends and you never have to feel alone, we are everywhere, and we are here for you.
"What's University of Memphis gonna teach me?!"
I know how you feel buddy, about to graduate from there at the end of the summer - I've got big dreams myself man, you're an inspiration!! Keep up the incredible work and keep staying as awesome as those dang chicken tenders.
There is so much of Olan and his life moments wrapped up in Final Space. This show is funny, emotional, rollercoaster of a story, genuine characters (even KVN), but mostly heart. I have been invested in this show from the beginning...even more so since watch this documentary. To be able to sink your soul into this with always laughter not from the loneliness - you have a winner! Season 3 will be absolutely amazing and hopefully that bridge to completion of your journey Olan.
Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. 👱😻👧🏾🐱🤖🚀
God damnit, I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! I say this almost every video that you make, but I am absolutely so excited for you and the things that you are doing, and the places you are going. No one deserves it more -- you're seriously amazing, and it makes me so happy to see you have this success in your life! Thank you so much for sharing this story and letting everyone know that, even great success stories like yours come with a lot of hard work, failure, and perseverance. But goddamn, you've earned it!
As someone who initially dismissed Final Space....i thought it was just another Rick and Morty esque show. Boy was i surprised, very VERY surprised. As a creator myself i do heavily respect anyone who just refused to give up on what they wanted to do. I still dont know what i want to do fully but so long as i get to create things that entertain and make people laugh i would be happy. Glad to see you managed to make it this far.
Thank you for final space. Your uplifting attitude helped me learn thats theres more to life then staying a slave to what you dont like. Fight for what is right and live life before its gone. Thank you.
Olan. Everyone who worked on making Final Space become what it is. Thank you all, so much!
Words truly can't describe how I'm feeling but I will say that my friend and I have just finished watching your piece of art, and we were captivated throughout its entirety. We laughed, we cried (many times), we were hyped, we were stunned, we craved more after every episode... but most importantly: we were moved. We were taken on a journey through your story and that feeling is going to last in our hearts for a very long time.
The characters and their interactions & developments, the music, the plot, the voice acting, and oh my word don't even get me started on the animations! Everything. Everything was so beautifully done and I legitimately cannot fault a single thing. Bravo.
This video is full of emotion; I think it's a blessing that you have shared your journey when creating Final Space, along with all of the hardships that come with life. Sometimes you will have to deal with a lot of tough times, but when you pull through the results will be phenomenal if you are driven enough to make your dreams come true!
I hope that someone from your crew reads this because I want you to know what effect this series has had on me, and how much I appreciate the amount of hard work that was put into making Final Space what it is! From the bottom of my heart, thank you
Just finished season one and I cannot recommend this show enough. Olan, you are doing Gods work
For someone who had a late start into college (and because of that, life), who's trying to really follow his dream and who's really feeling the pressure of what's, but's, it's, and maybe not's of pursuing the life that I really want, the stuff you've spilled into this video for the first audience you had was beyond inspiring for me. This is the ray of hope that I really needed for these days.
And y'know, I wish I could say I've been here for the beginning, but truth is, I've only been following you since probably a few months before you announced that Final Space was being shown to people, and you put up the pilot on your channel. (I was introduced to your channel via Ghost in the Stalls - still my favorite, though Final Space is quickly taking its place). But the sheer rawness and genuineness you put into your videos is a testament to the little guy making it big, and doing it by doing something that he loves doing...man, it's what I hope I become in the future. I'm so proud of you for making it this far in your dream a
I get this is a really long ramble, but I just wanted to say, even though we'll probably never have an interaction beyond creator and viewer, from the bottom of my heart - thank you. Thank you for sharing everything you've created and sharing these small glimpses of the road you had to travel to get here.
Cheers to Season 2! (and Season 3, eh, EHHH? :D)
That ending got me so hyped!!! :D
You are the most inspirational person I've ever seen man. The vulnerability and honesty you share with the world is unmatched. You've inspired me over the past 10 years to just commit to things that evoke passion. I'm a musician so the medium is a little different but the anxiety and self doubt works the same. It can destroy you without a support system. It takes a strong individual to do it without growing cold and mean. Props to you for making the world and more honest place.
Dude I wish I can say this to you in person but you are literally so motivational 🙏
Oh my gosh I can't wait for season two!! You deserve every second of happiness this show has brought to you. If you're happy, we're all happy too :)
I needed to see this video after being frustrated with my art for the past couple of weeks. Lots of truly uplifting advice here. You're truly an inspiration, Olan Rogers. I can't wait to see how improved the writing is for Season 2 and what you have in store for us fans.
Awe he is the sweetest guy. So emotional and wonderful journey. I can see his heart that gets poured into the show. Thank you x
Gosh darn it Olan every one of these type of videos makes me cry :,(
Your passion is an inspiration to me, and your life story is so amazing and so relatable for me. In the deepest darkest times in my life, I watched one of your videos (Soda parlor) and I balled my eyes out. Just knowing that I wasnt the only one failing again and again over and over. You gave me hope. Not only for my passion and future, Olan you saved my life. I cannot thank you enough for everything you've done. Thank you so much for everything you said. Keep goin man. You have something so special and so unique that it will change everything! Love ya man.
:,)
You saying those things about yourself being your biggest ally is so encouraging to me. Changing me really. I've lived overseas for all my life, and moving back to the States is going to be hard for me. I know no one there, and I have no experience there. The loneliness is shared, and I know it well. But it's people like you that make me believe in myself and see the truth in myself every day. Thank you again Olan. God bless you.
I have loved final space ever since Gary space. It was so awesome having something I said in a commercial too!Olan you are amazing and no matter what content you make I Will watch it! So hyped for season 2.
Olan, I’m an 8-time award winning actor and a singer with 3 music albums almost completed, including music videos... All because watching your videos inspired me to pursue my dreams. YOU inspired me. YOU inspired my legacy.
Dude i can't even your the coolest
I actually cried when I watched this. Olan, you are an incredible writer, creator, and person. Your passion shines through in all your work, and you make people so excited to watch your content. I am so happy for you. I've been watching you for years, and I hoped that you'd get picked up for TV in some way, and look!! YOU DID IT! You persevered and you made it, and I am so happy for you. You give all of us struggling artists inspiration and hope. You give all us "Gary's" in the world something to shoot for, and you make us feel so much better about ourselves. You've made so many of my bad days better, so thank you. And congratulations! I hope for many more seasons of Final Space in the Future!!!! God Bless!
You're an inspiration man. You truly are. My dream has always been to make an animated show, ever since I was a child and you have just given me even more fuel, to keep working towards that dream!
Ps Your mom is a Wisdom Wizard! And God bless :)
You're a genius creative freak and a thank you a million times for making final space. The voices, the characters, the colours, the vibes, the jokes, the music, the emotions = perfect show
I love your style of story telling. If you ever need funny or weird voices I'd love to audition.
TheNightshiftGamer bruh same. Me!
Oh I would love to be a VA in Final Space. They should do a contest!
oh god same!
Me too!!!
TheNightshiftGamer
I am not a voice actor, but that would be super cool.
From telling stories in your bedroom to creating an amazing TV show. You inspired me to do what I love. Thank you so much for everything you've done. Your videos brought me so much joy. You creating your own TV show inspired me to do what I love "my dream job". I wouldn't have gotten where I am today without you. Thank you so much.
The one dislike is the Lord Commander
You must be THE TRUTH HERO
Thank you for sharing your heart, Olan ❤ it's important to hear when you're in a dark place, that "the other side" does exist somewhere 🙂 keep living and never apologize for being emotional and vulnerable- doing that like you do gives other people permission and encouragement to do the same. Your courage is contagious!
Olan, you're an inspiration.
Hey Olan…thank you so much for giving us Final Space. Its the best show ever! Im from
Chile brother and I just wanna say…”Im proud of you” .
This is. I'm speechless. So precious to have been there the whole time and watched it grow.
I will never be able to explain how much of an inspiration you've been to me in my life, Olan, every time I watch Final Space I just think "somewhere out there, Olan is following his dreams" and for some weird reason that brings so much joy and hope to me. I'm a senior in high school in Oregon and I've always wanted to be in film production and animation but when I read the facts of how hard of a field it is I get so disheartened and I just want you to know that seeing you succeed makes me feel like maybe I could too and you have no idea how important and how needed that is in my life. Thank you so much for that and for just being the way you are.
I love the voices and besides the humor that it can be heartbraking. This is the best series everrrr
I just had a big grin on my face watching this all the way through. Not only was it so fascinating watching the show get developed behind-the-scenes, but after following you for a long time, hearing about Final Space coming to fruition was like a dream come true for you and the fans alike. I always knew you would one day grow into a much bigger presence than on UA-cam, and now it’s happening.
I honestly think you’re playing a major part in opening up the floodgates for more talented folks out there to reach the heights of their dreams, and God bless you for it, man.
Also, I legit had to screenshot that awesome quote from your mom; it was too good to pass up.
Let’s keep this show goin’!
*Whole Video I'm emotional as hell*
"Oh and by the way, we got picked up for season 2."
*Falls of chair*
Thank you, just thank you. This has become my favorite show. I love the characters and their arcs, I love the ending, I love the jokes, I literally love everything about this. Please continue to be an inspiration and please continue to love what you’re doing. Please share this with the rest of the makers of Final Space.
Your mom is a legend
OlanRogers. I have never met you, but I Love You. Truly. The impact your videos have had in my life for the last 8 years has been astonishing. Again and again, you brought me laughter in my deepest, darkest times. So many times you helped me ok with crying, to release the things that hurt deep down and to strive for happiness. Since then I have changed my life and am seeking my best life, and feeling its foundations. Today on the best day I have ever lived, you added something more. Bringing me tears, once again. You're inspiring to me, and absolutely show me that the dreams we all have can be found, and then reached.
Bless you man,
And thank you for all you are, you deserve it
I know you're uber proud Olan, of your concept and those who work thier arses off in getting er done. Please be proud of us too fer being good watchers of Final Space. Cause I for one watched it great! I mean, I put every ounce of watching power I have into watching it! I watched the chit out of it mang! YES!!! But more importantly - *We* are Uber Proud Of YOU!
Olan, I need to tell you that I am standing on the brink of a journey similar to your own, and I'm scared. It is you that is giving me the inspiration and power to "go for it". I am daunted my all teh possibilities to come, trying to start with an indie movie with a $3000 budget with no training for this sort of thing with the goal to make people feel emotionally richer, bring them together, and inspire them. I followed your progress since you were just telling stories and making goofy skits. I watched every single one, even the original final space. When it came to fruition, I almost cried. I'm sure you've been told this before, but being able to see your footsteps allows me to try very hard to step in them, and take the plunge myself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Incredible. Glad you’ve made it this far, man.
Why you gotta make me cry! Every time! Been following you for years and I am so proud of you. Your videos inspire me so much. You are one of the reasons I went to film school.
I didn’t get to finish my bachelors degree only got my diploma - which means nothing really. But I still have your videos. Thank you! Much love. Please keep being so down to earth and honest.
STOP MAKING ME CRY DAMMIT!
OLAN!! I AM SO insanely dang proud of you man. Over the years you’ve been nothing short of a role model and an absolute inspiration for me. You are a kind, caring, hilarious, hard working dude who deserves literally every bit of success you’re getting right now. It’s so freaking cool that I’ve gotten to see you grow from story time and youtube sketches like stab in the back to a full fledged masterpiece like Final Space. It’s insane that I see your name plastered all over billboards and posters, now. Thanks for winning one for the little guy, man.
Thank you. That is all. :)
I am so proud of you, my dude. We are all here because we knew there was something special within you. Your stories are always entertaining and I've loved every one of them, but your shorts have always been where your creativity really shines. You did your best with what you had, and you did fantastic. Now that you have the resources to do something amazing, I get the feeling we've only barely scratched the surface of your potential.
I don't really like to say that people are talented, because there's so much more to what you do than just talent. It's skill. It's brutally hard work. It's late nights and busy, tireless, days. It's an ongoing process of constant learning, and making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes. You've worked so hard to get here, and we've only seen bits and pieces of it. But I'm sure you're having a blast, and I'm so excited to see the joy you have in watching your vision come to life. You absolutely deserve every second of that joy. You are NOT nobody, and I'm really glad you're starting to see it. :)
