I think everyone just has to agree that It's Alive has the best editing in all of the BA videos. Then we got quarantine and Hunzi turned everything up to 11.
Not sure how feasible this is with the pandemic, but I’d love to see Brad make ssamjang! It’s the Korean fermented bean paste that’s often used in KBBQ and I feel like Brad could have a lot of fun making some of the side dishes + cooking the meat.
I love the way he showed appreciation, and gratefulness towards the mushrooms before tossing them out. Really showing respect for the mushrooms. I loved that.
I cannot even remember how Garla became a thing, yet every time that thing pops up on the screen I lose my mind and start laughing like a walrus. It might just be my favourite thing ever 😂
The villainous noise whenever Delaney's name is said is my favorite part of every Its Alive. Also the sick recipe. Guys seriously I'm making these shrooms.
He probably could. Choose a grain and sprout it, ferment it, dehydrate and pulverize it. Could probably make a savory cereal or something with enough Brad imagination.
The weird part is, I genuinely want to know what Brad is reacting to when Hunzi graciously fills in the space for us with his animations, so we get a glimpse into the mind of a mad...golden retriever. What do you see, dear Brad...when you look around the room at....'nothing'.
Since the Philippines was mentioned: We have a fermented papaya pickle called 'atchara' and you can use that for one of your projects. Also look for 'kinilaw' which is a Filipino version of ceviche.
He'd have a field trip with atchara! I don't personally eat that but my grandma like hers with radishes and red onions. Brad would find ways to experiment and it would still be great!
Thank you Brad for keeping me sane throughout a time that's been pretty testing mentally. Your videos have been making me laugh for the past few weeks and I've really needed that recently so I just want to say thank you Brad and all of the BA We all appreciate the content throughout this time
Really funny that Brad mentioned Serious Eats! On one of Kenji's latest episodes about Baba Ganoush where he mentioned allicin, people were making Brad jokes in the comments, to which he replied, "who is this Brad everyone is talking about?"
Can we have a video where each chef picks another chef's recipe and makes it their own? I'd love to see how they make changes based on what they have like we're all doing now!
I think the reason I love this series so much is because I want this type of snarky editorial commentary accompanying every day of my life. And I do deserve the depreciation. 😅
In the beginning he almost dropped the mushrooms and then in the end they potentially had micro shards of glass in them. The Universe did NOT want Brad to eat those mushrooms 😂😂
Brad - Slowly losing his mind.
BA - Content.
Right? 😂😂😂😂
That’s his constant mood though
IKR! Quality content! 👌
Brad: *Ends up in a mental hospital*
BA: “Someone get the cameras, this is good material!”
what do you mean, slowly?
Petition to have Brad give us a full video about everything he’s growing in his garden
It's alive: pre-fermentation edition
Seconded!
Yes, please more Brad!
Very yes.

Brad is simultaneously the most professional and least professional chef in the BA test kitchen

Hunz is losing it like the rest of us
I LOVE IT! 🤣 The intro killed me.

They dialed it back for a while but I'm loving this!

this sounds amazing!
on a bagel? :O
Hello, fellow Egyptian.
mish is delish
That sounds really good...
Brad refers to everything as “little” and I am realizing this is quite possibly due to the fact he is an actual giant.
You have ruined me. I CANNOT unhear this
let's not forget about the Big Boys tho
and the Bad Boys!
He also says Bud a lot on his insta stories. So he’s all our friend :D
How tall is he?
"Gotta feed your kids. Quite often!"
Yeah. That was a tough lesson for me too bud

Upvote this to the top!
Brad’s “one fig newton” and Chris’s “only one banana” give off the same energy

which episode is the banana one
Oh, great. Now we're going to have to donate another $100k before Brad's kids get a second Fig Newton.

The inserting of Sonnet 19 had me crying of laughter. Unexpected but hilarious. Good job Hunzi

Ladies and gentlemen we got him
What I would do to see Delany, Vinny, and Brad running a bar. That would be a dream come true.
I’d be there every day
Hear me out: Have Hunzi ferment/cook something alongside Brad.
He’s basically a cast member at this point anyway
Can we take a moment to appreciate hunzi his editing makes this show 100x funnier
i disagree, his editing is over the top and comes off as out of touch
@@a54635 yeah the edits are usually just obnoxious. I don't see why people are so obsessed with them.

But he left Hunzi out!
Brad is actually a scientist, if an unorthodox one. Really, he is a genius.
That moment when you realize that cap isn't part of Brad's head...
Watch the episode where he has pizza with the First We Feast hot sauce guy. Brad's hair is gorgeous in it!
I love how multiple ‘failed’ intros has become this shows intro

"This Cast Away reboot is weird..." that's the best
I like that Griff's cry was almost the exact same note as the actual post-intro hard cut. It's Alive runs in the blood.
He phoned in that fake cry though
Hey, that was BEAUTIFUL!
"Future anscestors" it's just too perfect.
God bless this beautiful man.
Hunzi is *AH-mazing*, but he has Brad as raw material... the combo is my laugh track!!
New band name
I love the way he showed appreciation, and gratefulness towards the mushrooms before tossing them out. Really showing respect for the mushrooms. I loved that.
“I don’t know, google it cause I didn’t,” is a life philosophy.

Future ancestors. Every episode of It's Alive! has one line that just hits me harder than the rest.
Brad's the kinda guy who would ferment his morning cereal if he could.
Hasn’t filmed that episode yet
He probably could. Choose a grain and sprout it, ferment it, dehydrate and pulverize it. Could probably make a savory cereal or something with enough Brad imagination.
If Molly salts hers, Brad should ferment his

Man we need some "editors view" videos where hunzi films his perspective of its alive then some footage of the editing process. Would be comedy gold 🤘

When he mentioned Vinny, my heart was happy.
I know right! I hope he's doing well haha

Seconded: Garden tour with Brad. It's been a while since Goin' Places, so let's go to the garden!
Since the Philippines was mentioned:
We have a fermented papaya pickle called 'atchara' and you can use that for one of your projects.
Also look for 'kinilaw' which is a Filipino version of ceviche.

Are you stiff tho? 😏
Me too!
Shut up Steve, bring back Vinnie
100% here for hunzies crazy editing that just keeps getting crazier

vastly underrated comment.
He gives us all a boost of morel!

The real heroes of It's Alive are the editors. This humor is next. level.
16:06 the rice glows

The editing in this video makes me realize I’m not the only one losing my mind in quarantine
Fresh updates of brad losing his mind while quarantined
I prefer to think Brad is merely losing the filters without the other Test Kitchen chefs around.
I love how real your videos are. even filming your crying child, sharing your mistakes, and quirky humor. hilarious!
The editing in this one was at a whole new level. I couldn't contain my laughter.
Brad- "Steve, Steve Focus."
Me - Put my phone down and look up at my laptop. Thinking Wait i don't like mushrooms.
Lol me when Brad made the fermented onions episode 😂😂
"aw cry in the laundry basket, I wanna do that too" absolutely same tbh
I just want Brad to give my eulogy and end it with...
"Who's better than us?!"
At the exact moment I was reading your comment, he said it. It was magical.
Is he saying it about you and him or is he there with Vinny?
It would be worth many times the cost of brass morel cufflinks to see Brad in an actual tailored suit.
Remember when he used to say "Who's better than us huh" to Vinnie 🥺
You're an OG if you know what the "eskavaters" thing is all about.
I got such a kick out of seeing that... Blink and you miss it but it was PERFECT 👌
Ecspecially and eskavaters gets me every time! 😂🤣😂

Can we have a video where each chef picks another chef's recipe and makes it their own? I'd love to see how they make changes based on what they have like we're all doing now!
YES. Make Brad to do one of Claire’s bakes!!! Brad making a bake would be so relatable to new bakers.
Priya would just unrepentantly ignore the recipe and make one of her parents recipes instead.
“I like to believe there’s so much salt in there that bad things don’t happen”
